The early morning sun shone into the bamboo house. When Xue Ming got up and went to look at the wheat fields in the yard, he was dumbfounded and hurriedly ran to the side of the wheat fields.

The wheat field irrigated by the spiritual spring water yesterday grew taller overnight, twice as high as the wheat field that was not irrigated. It actually formed a layered structure on the wheat field.

"Immediate results, right?" Xue Ming couldn't help laughing. The fatigue from riding the waterwheel yesterday was gone, and he immediately went to the kitchen to cook wild boar over a charcoal fire to reward himself.

After devouring half a catty of meat and two steamed buns, he left the space and strode to the brigade warehouse, where he found that Zhao Youzhi, who was raising livestock on behalf of his grandfather, had not yet arrived.

Xue Ming took out the key, opened the warehouse, locked the door, and took the keel truck into the space to water the wheat fields.

For the next three days, we stayed in the space for food and accommodation, riding the keel cart non-stop from morning to night, carrying the spiritual spring water from the pond to the wheat field.

On the third night, I finally finished watering the last wheat field. I was too tired to eat and went straight to bed. I slept until I got up to barbecue at noon the next day.

After eating and drinking, I used a ruler to measure the wheat seedlings and found that the average height of the wheat seedlings was actually 10 centimeters. Senior farmer Mr. Zhao said that it takes 10 days for wheat to grow to 30 centimeters from sowing.

"It only took 10 days for my wheat to grow to 10 centimeters. It should be the result of the black soil and spiritual spring water."

Xue Ming happily took out his camera to take pictures, not bothering to study why the growth rate of space wheat is three times that of the outside. As long as the results are good, that's all.

"Rhubarb, you are optimistic about the wheat seedlings. If donkeys and deer steal the wheat seedlings, you will be dead." Xue Ming smiled and touched the dog's head and left the space.

After putting the keel truck in the warehouse, he opened the door and walked out of the warehouse to find Zhao Youzhi lying under the old locust tree. "Don't be lazy, kid, and help your grandfather feed the animals."

"Brother Daming, I'm not lazy." Zhao Youzhi got up and ran to Xue Ming, "Where have you been these days? Uncle Zhao Tian and Uncle Jixiang are looking for you every day."

"Why is the kid asking so many questions?" Xue Ming was in a good mood and touched his dog's head. The little guy had a pair of cross-eyed eyes full of joy.

I hummed a little tune and walked home slowly. I was surprised to find that the house had been built. Four people were installing green tiles on the roof. Most of the roof had been installed.

"You're the boss, right? You're missing every day. Where have you been fooling around these past few days?" Zhao Tian asked with a straight face.

"Uncle Zhao, thank you for your hard work." Xue Ming hurriedly greeted us with a smile, "Uncle Yuhou and old Uncle Zhou are not here, there seem to be a few people today."

"After the tiles are installed, the walls will be painted white. In addition, I can use up to 10 people. Lao Sun and Lao Zhou went to the county for a meeting." Zhao Tian explained patiently.

So far, 250 kilograms of grain have been paid to help the workers, and 300 kilograms of wheat seeds have been used for farming. In addition, there are only 200 kilograms of wheat left in the daily eating space.

Xue Mingxin said that was good, "Uncle, please estimate how many days it will take to complete the house."

"It will take ten people at most three days to do it. You and I can make lime later," Zhao Tian said.

“Making lime?”

"Why are you talking nonsense? Follow me to filter the lime." Zhao Tian picked up two shovels and put them on the cart. "The lime pit is right in front of my house. Let's go."

"Da Ming, wait a minute." Zhao Jixiang, who was installing green tiles on the roof, shouted at the top of his voice. He shouted while walking down the roof from the roof.

"I'll go first, come quickly." Zhao Tian pushed the cart away.

Zhao Jixiang pulled Xue Ming into the east room and asked for the key to the warehouse, "Tell me the truth, are you reclaiming wasteland in the woods?"

"Ah? Don't be joking, my uncle. Wild boars and wild birds are masters of harming farmland." Xue Ming was wary. Could it be that he saw the clues about the white prostitute's keel car?

Zhao Jixiang stared at Xue Ming, "The keel truck in the warehouse has obviously been flooded. I can't think of any other use for the keel truck besides secretly reclaiming wasteland."

Sure enough, Xue Ming decided not to use the things in the warehouse, and waited until his uncle finished the keel truck before letting him do plowing, harrowing and cultivating.

"Be a good boy, you can't dig your own grave, your arms can't lift your thighs, you can't go against the national policy." Zhao Jixiang suddenly felt sad.

"Uncle Jixiang, don't talk nonsense. How could I go against the policy? I just wanted to study the durability of the paint before soaking the keel car." Xue Ming could only lie and deceive.

Zhao Jixiang stared at him quietly, and suddenly sighed, "Da Ming, you saved my uncle's life. What I said is true to my heart. Never violate the policy."

"I know." Xue Ming also smiled, and he could feel that these words were meant for him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Jixiang turned around and went out to continue installing tiles. Xue Ming thought for a few minutes and then walked out of the room to find Zhao Tian to filter the lime.

There was a big pit in front of Zhao Tian's yard, and Xue Ming finally understood the meaning of lime filtering.

Adding quicklime to water will produce slaked lime. When the slaked lime is used to paint a wall, it will chemically react with the air to form hard calcium carbonate. I already understood this chemical knowledge after studying for more than ten years in my previous life.

The uncle and nephew made hydrated lime together. Zhao Tian crushed the lumps of quicklime and threw them into the pit. Xue Ming added water to the pit as required.

"Wheat needs to be watered three times from planting to harvesting. The first time is water for covering the head, the second time is water for turning green, and the third time is water for grouting. Watering once every three or four months is enough."

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Zhao." Xue Ming finally reassured himself that by the time the water returned to green water, his uncle would have already prepared the animal-drawn waterwheel.

"Spring wheat takes about 130 days from sowing to harvesting, and winter wheat takes about 240 days." Zhao Tian put down the shovel in his hand, "You seem to be very concerned about wheat recently."

Xue Ming smiled and said nothing. Winter wheat is planted in autumn, spring wheat is planted in spring, but his space is planted in summer.

I don’t know when it will mature, the climate in space is different from reality, and I don’t know how much yield it will produce without pesticides and fertilizers.

"Child, don't be confused on matters of principle." Zhao Tian dug up a shovelful of quicklime and threw it into the pit, "Xue Laoshuan and Xue Sannu were sentenced to ten years, and Xue Erdan was sentenced to labor camp construction team, you know What is reeducation through labor?”

Xue Ming shook his head. It was probably a juvenile detention center or some other place. It was right for Xue Erdan to be sent to a labor camp for his misdeeds.

"We follow the example of the Soviet Union in the labor education system. There are hundreds of small labor camps in our county. It is said that it is quite difficult." Zhao Tian sighed, "I hope you will make mistakes according to your duty and never go to that place."

"Look at what you said, I will never go to that kind of place in my life. I will be careful in my words and deeds." Xue Ming believed that he was not a piece of fish to be slaughtered.

Zhao Tian's face was extremely serious, "If you really open up wasteland in the forest, destroy it immediately. I can't protect you if something happens."

"I didn't open up wasteland in the forest." Xue Mingxin said that you will never find the place where I opened up wasteland.
