Chapter 588 Ship Arrival
In the dead of night, Zhang An entered the space again.
Tonight, he plans to plant the saplings brought back by Ding Yi.
The pile of saplings that have been placed in the space for a long time do not look like they are about to wither. Instead, they still look very fresh, even more tender than when Ding Yi brought them over during the day.
Just do it, Zhang An picked up his sleeves, took out the shovel from the yard, and started digging a hole behind the courtyard.
There are many saplings, each with at least thirty or forty trees, so Zhang An does not plan to plant them in front of the yard.
As the saying goes, "A jade belt with water in front of the door means that there is nobility in the family."
When he built this small courtyard in the space, Zhang An decided on the location after careful consideration. .
In front of the small courtyard, there is a stream formed by the spatial spring water flowing out of the bluestone spring, flowing windingly towards the lake, just covering the entire front of the small courtyard.
This is exactly what our ancestors have said in Feng Shui for thousands of years.
If someone had asked Zhang An before if he believed in Feng Shui, Zhang An would have shaken his head and smiled.
After all, those in later generations are either making money to support their families or thinking of ways to make money. How can they think so much? Surviving first is the most important thing.
But now, if someone really comes to ask Zhang An, he will definitely believe it without any hesitation.
Because he has personally experienced the most magical things. Who can say that these other mysterious and mysterious things really do not exist.
Anyway, nowadays, he has always maintained a concept. He would rather believe that he has it than that he doesn't have it. Even if he really doesn't have it, he will not suffer any loss.
Although it is only in space, I believe it first and then talk about it.
So Zhang An does not plan to plant these saplings in front of the yard so as not to block the terrain of the yard.
When digging holes, Zhang An placed them far apart and arranged them as neatly as possible.
In this way, when these saplings grow up, they will be guaranteed to have enough space and look good.
And when planting, Zhang An also sorted all the saplings and planted them together of the same tree species. Don’t ask why, it’s because people with obsessive-compulsive disorder can’t afford to hurt them.
After spending an unknown amount of time, all the saplings had been planted except for a few that were left to be planted outside.
As usual, Zhang An brought some space spring water and watered each newly planted sapling.
However, he imagined that these saplings would grow at a speed visible to the naked eye just like the grapevines when they were first planted.
Although it was obvious that he had grown taller at the beginning, it was only a few meters, and then it stopped abruptly.
Zhang An felt very strange, but he did not think that the space spring water had lost its effect.
He calmed down and observed for a while, and found that these trees were still growing, not stagnant, but at a very slow rate.
Actually, this growth rate is very fast compared to the outside world. It’s just that in the past, Zhang An was used to the scene of growing up all at once in the space. Now that it has slowed down, he still has some Not very used to it.
But then Zhang An figured out that these trees were not ordinary trees.
If it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people, they should be the latter. Decades of light will not have much effect on them, at least it will take more than a hundred years. Just fine.
In this way, it can be explained why they grow so slowly after being catalyzed in space.
Seeing this, Zhang An stopped caring about them. After looking around the space, he returned to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning, when the mountainside was just turning white, roosters of all sizes began to crow.
Although Zhang An didn't go to bed until late at night, because he stayed in the space, he was not mentally affected, but became more energetic.
Although Zhang An, who got up, realized that it had just dawned, he had no intention of going back to sleep.
At this moment, the rest of the family hadn’t gotten up yet, so Zhang An walked into the kitchen, took the tongs to remove the coal balls on the stove that were used to seal the fire last night, and then stabbed the stove into the heart with a torch. poke.
It only takes a few strokes to push the long-burned coal ash in the heart of the stove to the bottom of the stove hole.
At this time, the dying spark in Zao's heart suddenly ignited, and then Zhang An used tongs to peel off the coal balls used to seal the fire last night and divided them into pieces, then picked up a few pieces and put them away. Enter the heart of the stove and use it to ignite fire.
In this way, there is no need to light a fire in the stove. After a while, the coals will ignite sparks and they will ignite by themselves.
This is the method of burning stoves in rural areas. Both adults and children must master the basics. Once you learn it, you don't need to get up and light the fire again every day.
For example, Zhang An himself learned how to make fire, mix coal, seal fire, etc. at a very young age. The stove in their house seemed to have been burning for a long time, and there had been no fire for at least two months.
However, burning coal will definitely produce a lot of coal ash, so the coal ash in the stove needs to be cleaned frequently.
After finishing all this, Zhang An filled a pot of water and put it on the stove to heat.
Although it is summer, there is no need for hot water for washing and the like.
But when Wang Fang gets up later, she has to prepare breakfast for the family. Hot water is almost a must-have every morning.
And let the stove sit idle, put a pot of water on it, the coals inside will burn faster.
As soon as Zhang An came out of the kitchen, he saw that his mother was already up holding her precious grandson.
"Get up, go and pour some water for Qiqi to wash her face."
Wang Fang saw Zhang An coming out of the kitchen, giving little instructions while putting clothes and shoes on little Siqi. Zhang An.
Little Siqi is still young, so unlike adults, it is better to use as little cold water as possible. Zhang An poured some hot water, then mixed it into lukewarm water, and then brought it out to help the prince wash up.
Everything about the little guy is good, but he has a bad habit, he doesn’t like washing his face very much.
Zhang An twisted the towel and tried to wash his face several times, but was dodged.
In the end, it was Wang Fang who took it upon herself to take down the little guy who was covered in bones.
No matter how hard he tried to dodge, Wang Fang had been with him for such a long time and was already very good at dealing with him.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhang An was instantly amazed by the sky outside.
In the sky on the mountaintop in the distance, there is a combination of yellowish pink and blue, just like the colors in the comics, giving people a very healing feeling.
This kind of scene, even many years later when technology has developed very rapidly, such a powerful mobile phone cannot capture it exactly.
Breathing the fresh air that had just been renewed in the mountains, Zhang An stood in the yard, raised his hands and started practicing Tai Chi, which he had not moved for many days.
If someone filmed this scene twenty years later, it would surely be a very poetic video.
When Zhang An finished the round and exhaled, he turned around and found that his son beside him was actually trying to imitate the movements he had just made.
"Hey, we all want to practice boxing too, so you have to grow up a little bit before you can learn." Zhang comforted his son's head and said to him with a smile. .
Now Xiao Siqi is still too young and his body bones are still too fragile to withstand the strength brought by boxing practice, so Zhang An has no intention of teaching him now.
This is what Zhang Yixing has warned before. If the little guy wants to learn boxing, he has to grow up for at least two more years, until he is three years old.
Although Zhang An didn't teach him, the little guy seemed to be very talented. He kept imitating his father's behavior just now, twisting and turning in a precise manner.
Don’t tell me, it does look a bit like that.
Zhang An was watching from the sidelines. Although the little guy's series of movements were inconsistent, for a first-time beginner, this was already pretty good.
"Oh, Qiqi is still so young, Zhang An, you have already started teaching him how to box."
When the little guy was enjoying himself, Zhang Jianwen came .
"Haha, no, he can't learn it yet, his body can't bear it. He just watched me fight and learned to play by himself."
Zhang An shook his head and smiled. Zhang Jianwen didn't care about the little guy when he was talking, just let him play as he pleased.
"You're not going anywhere today. The people from the shipyard will deliver the ship we ordered in the morning. You may be asked to help us by then."
Then Zhang Jianwen didn't chat much and talked about his own Intention.
"I'm at home anyway. When it's delivered, I'll come over and shout."
Zhang An won't go anywhere now, so he will always stay at home and be responsible for taking care of the family. This man.
"Okay, I'll go say hello to the others, so that everyone won't be home when I need to find someone later."
After Zhang Jianwen took care of Zhang An, he continued Go to the next person.
After he left, Zhang An took out a pickaxe from the side room and prepared to carve out a place for planting trees in the yard.
Originally yesterday, he had already figured out where to dig. But when he got up after a sleep today and looked at the place he selected yesterday, he suddenly felt that it was not very suitable.
After planting so many trees last night, when he looked back today, he always felt that it was quite awkward to suddenly plant two trees in the middle of the yard.
Since then, he also gave up the idea of planting the saplings in the front yard, and instead called his son to find another place in the backyard.
After walking around the backyard twice, Zhang An immediately decided to plant the remaining saplings next to the vegetable field.
Compared with the front yard, the backyard is much spacious. There is no need to worry that these trees will block the light in the home when they grow up.
And if you plant it in the backyard, you can save yourself the trouble of digging the cement field, because the cement dam in the backyard is not too wide.
Just do it, Zhang An found the hoe and started digging the hole.
Otherwise, if you wait until tomorrow, you may feel that it is not appropriate to plant it here.
The backyard belongs to Zhang An's family, not the land contracted by Zhang An from the village.
So when these trees are planted here, he can water them with space spring water as much as he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about disputes after the land rent expires.
Although in the future, a tree will be planted in your own home, whether you can cut it down or not does not depend on your own policy.
But Zhang An is not worried at all. When the tree can be cut down, it may be many years later.
And he also thought that while Lao Zhu was still here, he could make a note with him and get the logging rights back.
In this way, when it is in the hands of future generations, there will be no need to argue with those people.
"Zhang An has left, help move the boat."
Zhang An, who had been at home all morning, did not hear anyone calling him. It was not until the afternoon that Zhang Jianwen called him at the door.
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
Zhang An responded, then took his son to his mother to watch, and then went out to find Zhang Jianwen and the others.
After all, this is the time when the little guy is active. If you take him with you, you are afraid that he will get busy later and run around without paying attention.
Arrived at the river, Zhang An saw many people coming from the village, everyone came over if they had something to do or nothing.
This is Zhang Jianwen's appeal in the village. As long as he opens his mouth, almost no one will refuse, and even if he has something to do, he will put it aside first.
There are several trucks parked at the entrance of Dongli Courtyard at Qiaotou, and it seems that the trucks are loading the boats ordered by the village.
However, these trucks were not small and seemed to be quite heavy, so Zhang Jianwen did not let them drive over directly. This was also to protect the bridge at the entrance of the village. After all, it was a natural bridge.
"I'm sorry, Village Chief Zhang. We were supposed to deliver it in the morning, but the master in front of us drove the wrong way and took us to another place, which delayed us for half a day."
This time. Before he could unload the ship, someone on the other side was talking to Zhang Jianwen. He must have been the person in charge of the ship.
"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry at this moment, but I seem to remember that people from your factory came to our village not long ago. They didn't come this time."
Zhang Jianwen was talking about the person who was responsible for transporting the ship that transported Zhang An's family last time, but he came after Lu Jun.
“Because he drives a small car and we are driving a large car this time, so he did not come with us this time and was assigned to other places by the factory.”
From the shipyard People also know that this is the case. After all, Zhang Jianwen went to buy a boat because of such a beginning.
After the two leaders exchanged a few words, they were ready to start unloading the ship.
The shipyard came to the shipyard this time with five trucks and ten people, and two boats were placed on one truck. In fact, if they were alone, they could unload the boat. Ten people are completely enough, but the speed will be slower. .
Now Zhang Jianwen has pulled out dozens of young people in the village, greatly reducing their workload.
So the people from the shipyard moved out in the car, and everyone in the village caught them outside.
As soon as Zhang An got started, he clearly felt that the boat this time was not as heavy as the one sent by the fat man.
After all, when he moved the boat last time, he called out to about ten people, not counting himself, but he felt uncomfortable when moving.
But this time, even ten people on the boat were not needed, and seven or eight people could easily carry it to the dock.
I tried several ships in a row and it was basically the same.
Only then did he realize why the boat bought in the village was so much cheaper, but the materials used were quite different.
