Chapter 197 Digging a well in the yard

 Wang Lina looked puzzled.

Is this something happy that happened?

She has rarely seen so many smiles on Xiao Si's face.

"Xiao Si, what's wrong with you?"

"Did anything happy happen?"

Xiao Si didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up his small bamboo basket and took his mother to the kitchen.

Anyway, usually his mother cooks.

The kitchen is the safest place.

"Xiao Si, what happened?"

"Why is it so mysterious?"

When asked about this, Xiaosi did not answer.

I saw him taking out the grass from the bamboo basket.

Seeing the mountains of fungi below, Wang Lina rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Xiao Si, where did you get so many mushrooms?"

There are very few fungi at the foot of the mountain, even on the outskirts of the mountain. Could it be that we went deep into the mountain?

Thinking of her guess, the shock on Wang Lina's face suddenly turned into anger.

"Xiao Si, how did I tell you not to go into the mountains? Have you disobeyed your mother?"

Wang Lina's voice was a bit loud, and Xiao Si was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, but in Wang Lina's eyes, she acquiesced.

"Xiao Si, even if I starve to death, I don't want you to take risks. Mom would rather go alone, you know?"

Hearing this, Xiao Si nodded. What he knew in his heart was that he had not gone very deep into the mountain.

"Mom, I don't have..."

Xiao Si walked over aggrievedly and grabbed Wang Lina's clothes. He really didn't go into the mountains.

"Mom knows you are sensible, but you are still young. Don't you know how worried your mother is about you?"

Wang Lina turned Xiao Si over and looked at it carefully. After finding that there was no injury, she finally felt relieved.

"Mom, I didn't go deep into the mountains. I started digging wild vegetables on the outside. But unexpectedly, I met Uncle Chen. He asked me if I liked eating mushrooms and took me to pick them."

Having said this, it seems that this scene is still vivid in my mind, and Xiao Si's face is full of longing.

"The place where he took me was full of fungi. There were many places around. I couldn't pick them all by myself, especially when we finally found a pheasant's nest!"

Quietly look at the smile on Xiao Si's face.

Wang Lina also knew that Xiao Si also liked to go out and play, but she just couldn't find a suitable playmate.

"Did you catch the pheasant?"

She thought that she might not be able to catch it. After all, pheasants are so easy to catch. Especially when she heard Xiao Si talking about Uncle Chen, she subconsciously guessed that it might be Chen Zhiqing.

It is probably difficult for an educated youth who is elegant and weak to catch a pheasant. After all, they are all intellectuals.

"I caught him. Uncle Chen is very powerful. He was killed by a small stone thrown at him, and there were more than twenty eggs."

As Xiao Si spoke, he opened his bamboo basket and removed one layer of the fungi on it.

Sure enough, I saw what looked like twenty eggs.

Seeing this discovery, Wang Lina didn't know what to say. Did that person really only take away the pheasant?

All the eggs were given to Xiao Si?

Why is he so nice to Xiao Si?

"Xiao Si, why did you take everything?"

Xiao Si was a little embarrassed when his mother asked him about this. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He just wanted to ask Chen Zixuan to take pictures for him, but he didn't expect that he would gain so much.

"Uncle, if he doesn't want it, give it all to me. He will leave immediately. If I don't want it, others will take it. Mom, we have wild eggs to eat now. You can eat more to replenish your body."

Xiao Si doesn't have the ability to make money yet, but he wants his mother to be in better health so that he won't be afraid of her future.

The bad guy dad is so much older. I believe that after his dad dies, my mom will be able to live a better life.

"Okay, Xiao Si is so sensible, let's eat together."

Wang Lina gently touched Xiao Si's head.

Wang Lina then hid these wild eggs.

Place it on a basement floor in the kitchen.

She deliberately dug a small hole here and placed a piece of wood to block it, so no one knew she put things here.

After Chen Zixuan returned.

I found that everyone was almost done, the ground had been paved with cement, and a water outlet had even been reserved.

The cellar has also been waterproofed.

Chen Zixuan thought about it carefully and decided to leave some cement roads from the house to the vegetable field.

After making a cement threshold, it is best to put a pool of water outside for washing feet or changing shoes, so that the soil from outside will not be brought back.

Chen Zixuan picked up a branch and drew two lines on the area where he wanted to lay cement.

Especially at the door of the house, he plans to lay a cement floor one meter wide and two meters long, and then dry things on it.

There is basically no hot sun now, so of course you can’t dry other things very well, so you can only dry them slowly.

"Chen Zhiqing, are you really sure? Do you plan to use all this cement underground?"

Zhang Shun listened to Chen Zixuan's plan and thought it was incredible. Do we need to pave cement floors wherever we walk?

This house is already considered to be very well built, after all, it has been painted with a layer of cement inside and out.

In fact, Chen Zixuan also wants to paint it with lime powder, but it seems that he hasn't bought it yet and he doesn't dare to be too pushy.

Otherwise, he would be in the limelight. Even if he hugs the deputy county magistrate's lap, he doesn't want to be watched all the time.

"Yes, by the way, help me see if anyone knows how to dig a well now. I plan to dig a well in the yard."

It is much more convenient to have a well.

No need to go to other places to fetch water.

"Drilling a well may be a little more expensive. It costs 400 yuan to complete. After all, we still need the well circle, which is all labor-intensive."

The labor to dig a well may be more expensive than building a house.

After all, it is too dangerous and too deep to dig a well now. If it were not for the lack of money, no one would be willing to dig a well.

"Then tell me, how much more does it cost?"

Zhang Shun did some calculations, and found that these were the only two things for labor and materials, but he didn’t know how many meters deep it would take to drill.

"How many meters deep do you want to drill?"

How many meters? Chen Zixuan doesn’t know much about this. It should be about ten meters. Is it too shallow?

"Just pump it until the water comes out. It's useless if you hit it too deep. The water should come out after about ten meters, right?"

Zhang Shun nodded when he heard this. It is indeed about ten meters before you can get out of the water, but it still depends on the place.

You have to choose the place well, otherwise you may not be able to get water out even if you dig very deep, so you have to choose it carefully.

"Let me do the math for you. Materials and labor cost two yuan per meter. If calculated based on ten meters, it would be twenty yuan. This is a suitable price. Do you think it's okay?"

Of course, we cannot rule out that water will appear within ten meters.

If the water is only 50 meters away, then they will be even more dangerous, and they will have to pay extra. No matter how deep it is, it is better to fight again.

Chen Zixuan also agreed to this possibility.

Anyway, a hundred yuan at most is fine!

"Maybe a budget of fifty or sixty yuan."

Zhang Shun expressed his prediction.

It is impossible to make two or three holes.
