Chapter 2318 (2 updates
The people who went to repair the graves in the afternoon were all male laborers from families who were particularly close to Yue Qing and Zhou Qiufeng. After hearing what the little boy from the Le family said to Zhang Ke, they also hid the content that was not suitable for publicity in their hearts and regarded it as their own. Nothing was heard.
Everyone returned to Le's house, took a rest, and then went to help.
All the guests have left, but there is a lot of work to do afterwards. The borrowed items need to be cleaned and counted before returning them to Zhao. The place where Grandma Zhou’s house and Cheng Youde’s house set up the banquet also needs to be cleaned, and the remaining ingredients in the kitchen need to be cleaned. Deal with it promptly.
In the evening, the men and women who helped in the afternoon had dinner at Le's house. Le Xiao's classmates also invited their family members. Anyway, there was a lot of meat left at home. The neighbors who helped worked so hard, and their mother-in-law/man and a few of them were no less. A pair of chopsticks for children and old people.
Even if there are no customers, there are still thirteen tables at night.
The afternoon was relatively rushed, and many things were not completely dealt with. The next morning, the first group of people who were asked to help still went to Lejia to help deal with the trivial matters that they had not had time to deal with yesterday.
No matter whether it is a white wedding or a red wedding, there will always be a lot of ingredients left. On the night of the 3rd, Le Yun started a big pot and made stewed pork, mutton and chicken from the remaining unprocessed pork.
All kinds of processed meats and some mixed vegetables are fed to pigs and dogs. The clean cooked meats and vegetarian ingredients selected by categories are divided into ten portions and given to the helping family. Not only The person who was asked to help will get a copy, and the person who took the initiative to help yesterday will also receive a copy.
In big cities, when you go to a hotel to have a banquet, CD-ROM or take-out activities are also advocated. In the countryside, there is no such thing as not eating leftovers. Anyone who has not eaten the food will pack it up and put it in the refrigerator for the next meal.
Leftovers left over from something someone does for some reason are usually packaged and given to the people who help out. No one will find it objectionable. If the host clearly has a lot of leftovers but is reluctant to give a share to the people who help with the work, people will say he is stingy behind his back. Stingy.
In addition to the leftover cooked food, Le Yun also packed a portion of the braised pork for the helping family. After all the processing, there was not much left for her own family.
The helpers only worked for half a day and were busy. They had lunch at Lejia at noon, carried large and small bags of things back to their respective homes, and rested peacefully to catch up on their sleep.
The helper went home and everything was settled. Only in the afternoon did Le's father Zhou Qiufeng have time to look at people's kindness. He received a total of 130,000 yuan in gifts and more than 3,000 kilograms of rice.
Items such as firecrackers and papyrus are not priced and are consumed immediately.
The gift money left at another house would be enough to cover the money spent on services, so the host family would not lose money, but at Lejia, the gift money would not even cover a fraction of the cost.
Every meal at Lejia has one or two medicated meals. These medicated meals are sold in hotels and can easily earn four to five million.
In addition to the medicinal diet, more than 60 pigs, more than 100 sheep, and more than 1,000 chickens and ducks were consumed.
After Lejia's big purchase, all the fat pigs in the villages within thirty miles of Meicun Fangyuan were basically wiped out. The same was true for chickens and ducks. The butchers who were doing business could only buy pigs weighing less than 100 kilograms. In the short term, the soil Chickens and ducks are out of stock. It is expected to be available in the second half of the year when the chickens and ducks raised by various households have grown up.
Every time Lejia does something, it will bring significant economic gains to some people in the same village or neighboring villages, thereby indirectly stimulating the market and making the market economy active.
Aunt Lejia's funeral was held on the 3rd, and the next day on the 4th was the Cold Food Festival. Mr. Yi also took refuge on the third floor of the south building of Lejia to eat cold food for a day.
Mr. Yi, who had been waiting all day without showing up, got up early in the morning on the 5th and ran in front of the little girl. It wasn't until he got a braised pig's trotter that the little girl gave him as a snack that he became bright and sunny.
Qingming Festival, the 5th, was a rare sunny day.
During the Qingming Festival, people from all villages go to the mountains to visit graves.
Because his two sons and grandsons all returned to their hometown, Chen Kang took his children to visit the graves of his sister and brother-in-law with his nephew's family, and then met with the Chen family to pay homage to the ancestors of the Chen family.
The Le family went home first after sweeping the tomb. Chen Kang's family and the Chen family didn't go down the mountain until it got dark. They didn't go to the Chen family for dinner, so they still went back to the Le family.
Chen Kang and Zhou Wei stayed at Lejia for one night and returned to his hometown the next day.
Leyun didn't stay at home too long, and left home on the 6th. She was going to send Xiao Huihui and Xiao Fox to the desert in southern Xinjiang to help her manage the medicinal botanical garden, and to take a flight to Chongqing City.
Handsome guy Lan San drove the little Lolita to the airport in a helicopter, and then took the Chen family to fly to Han City. Chen Kang, Zhou Wei, his son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren took the high-speed train home.
In the end, the helicopter became Chen Zhaonian's special plane.
Lan San sent Chen Zhaonian to the paradise. He returned the plane and returned to the station. Chen Zhaonian took the car back to school by himself.
Aunt Le's family was buried in peace, and things came to an end. The people of Plum Village were busy with their own affairs after the Qingming Festival.
On the 2nd and 3rd, the villagers of Meizijing Village and many people who went to Lejia for dinner saw Zhang Ke wearing mourning clothes for Leya. They were very shocked at the time and did not comment.
Afterwards, everyone talked a lot. Those who had heard the girl from the Le family saying that they forgive Zhang Ke also said what the girl from the Le family meant. Because Zhang Ke truly repented, the Le family had forgiven Zhang Ke and would never cause trouble to Zhang Ke again. .
Knowing that Zhang Ke had been forgiven by the Le family girl, the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief. They were also worried about Zhang Ke's rest of his life, thinking about finding a wife for Zhang Ke so that Zhang would not be cut off from the family life.
Classmate Le Xiao took a flight from Chong C Airport to the capital of X Province in southern Xinjiang, then transferred to He City on the edge of the desert basin, and took a night trip to the secret medicinal plantation garden in the hinterland of the desert.
She returned to the medicinal plantation garden, and immediately made rain fall on the mountain peak. She stayed in the cave of Immortal Peak for half a night, planting with two little beasts during the day, and worked overtime at night to plant hundreds of acres of crops.
After a busy day and night, the little Loli left the hinterland of the desert on the morning of the 8th and went to the boundary area in the northeast corner of the medicinal plant garden to find the construction team.
The construction team built a road from the desert highway to the northern boundary of the little girl's medicinal plantation garden, and then divided the team into two teams, one team heading west and one team heading south, to build the road first.
The road will be built within the boundary line of the medicinal plant garden and will form an inner ring road around the wall. The road will be wide enough to accommodate three cars traveling in parallel. It can accommodate two cars and a large trailer.
The construction team only entered the desert for work in the middle of the second lunar month. The sand piles in the north were high and needed to be cleaned along the way. Factors such as the workers' food and drink, the transportation needs of raw materials, and the climate determined the speed of the project.
The road construction team progressed relatively slowly. The road to the north of the medicinal plant garden was less than 2,000 meters long, and the road within the eastern boundary of the road from north to south was only more than 2,000 meters away.
Because desert water sources are a big problem, Le Xiaoluoli's transport helicopters are also sent to southern Xinjiang projects, specifically responsible for transporting water or purchasing it. When building the wall, local materials were used, desert sand was mixed with a small amount of lime and yellow mud, and glutinous rice slurry was used as a blending agent to mix the raw materials, and the wall was built using the method of building an earth wall.
The sand in the desert is not river sand and cannot be used as building materials. Even if it is mixed with glutinous rice paste, it will not stick together.
In order to save materials, money and manpower, a classmate from Le Xiao extracted a plant adhesive and made it into pills. When using it, the pills were dissolved in glutinous rice slurry, and then mixed with sand, yellow mud and a small amount of lime. After solidification, the pills were thicker than cement. Stronger and structurally stable.
The southern Xinjiang medicine plantation garden is a large-scale project, requiring a large amount of pill binder, and also requires professional supervision. That task is undertaken by the Guanyin Temple.
Guanyin Temple sent four disciples to take care of the binder of the pills. They were responsible for supervising the proportion of water and ingredients used in boiling the glutinous rice slurry, and the proportion of mud and ash.
They are also responsible for adding the pills. The degree to which the glutinous rice milk must be boiled before adding the pills is also an extremely important step.
Most of the spinners team are workers who have undertaken amusement park projects. The workers are experienced and can get started quickly and the construction process goes smoothly.
Because Dong He wants to be in charge of the He family's business, he cannot go to the Southern Xinjiang project to take charge. Xiao He Dong will take charge of the Southern Xinjiang project and supervise the quality.
Le Yun could see the engineering team inside the formation, but the engineering team couldn't see her, so she knew where the engineering team was. After leaving the protective formation, she carried a big backpack and walked through the five miles reserved outside the formation. In the wide desert area, we arrived at the construction site of a road construction project heading west.
The disciples of the Guanyin Temple were the first to notice someone approaching. They looked on the roof of the truck carrying goods and were shocked when they saw the little girl climbing over the sand.
The two young ancient cultivators rushed towards the sand piles, climbed over a small sand pile, and met the backpacker girl.
"Little girl, how did you come out of the desert?" The two disciples are the third generation disciples of Guanyin Temple. They call Leshan uncle. The little girl is one generation older than them, so they use the honorific title.
"Thank you, gentlemen." Le Yun greeted the two Guanyin Temple disciples politely, then smiled and walked slowly: "I went to the center of the desert to observe whether the plants I planted are alive. I am going back to the capital, so I stopped by to have a look."
"We don't have much work to do, it's not hard." The two disciples led the way to the engineering team.
A team of the engineering team was working on the construction, and they were surprised to see the two young gentlemen in charge of the blender running behind the sand pile. They didn't understand what they were doing.
The construction team has special mobile toilets to collect excrement and process it centrally, so they do not defecate in the wild. If it is defecated in the wild, the feces will breed bacteria and the smell will be unpleasant.
When the two young gentlemen went to the sand pile and came back after a while, they turned into three people. The workers were stunned, where did those people come from?
When the two young gentlemen approached, the workers recognized it as Miss Le. They were surprised and greeted each other one after another.
Le Yun also responded to everyone's enthusiasm and came closer to watch the workers at work.
The construction is also divided into steps. The first step is to measure the longitude and latitude of the road and draw the line. In the second step, the excavator will clean the sand along the line, then level the hard bottom of the sand, measure the width of the road, and install formwork on both sides. , and then the filling is filled with ingredients.
Before filling and paving the road, you must first pour water on the ground to wet it so that the filler can adhere to the ground. Due to the strong sunlight in the desert, water must be poured on the road surface after filling according to the degree of solidification to prevent the surface water from evaporating too quickly and hardening prematurely. The difference in solidification speed from the bottom layer is too large to form faults or cracks.
The wind in the desert is strong, so for the stability of the fence, holes have to be drilled at regular intervals to install steel bars as wall ribs.
The wall of the botanical garden is similar to laying the foundation and building the earth wall when building a house.
In the desert in April, the desert temperature is quite suitable for construction, and the wind and sand in the construction area are not big. Only occasionally does the wind blow through and bring up dust, so the impact on the project can be ignored.
The workers all wear reusable masks and cover their mouths and noses when there is dust.
Le Yun watched the workers constructing a section of road, and then visited the residence and canteen.
The workers' housing and canteen are movable prefabricated houses built on trailers. Every time a section of road is completed, the trailer will follow when the roadside is hardened. The distance that workers need to walk to and from get off work is very short.
The housing is relatively simple. The house on a trailer is divided into two or three large rooms, and the workers are laying floors. However, the ventilation conditions of the house are good, and the roof is also made of heat insulation materials. The sun shines on it for a day, and the house will not turn into a Sauna.
In winter, add a layer of thermal blanket on the roof, and then the house will be warm again.
The board houses are fixed on trailers, and there is an iron-welded hanging ladder in front of each house, which is paneled with wooden boards and railings, making it safe and secure.
The canteen is connected to the kitchen. One end of the board room is the kitchen and the other end is the canteen. The chefs prepare the dishes and put them on the dining table. When eating, the workers choose the dishes themselves. They are all self-service. The tables and chairs in the canteen are durable and safe. Made of new materials, lightweight and easy to care for.
Cooking mainly relies on gas. In order to save resources and take advantage of long sunshine hours, modified solar power generation equipment is installed on two vehicles to collect electricity for cooking or lighting or to power freezers, as well as solar water heaters for workers. bath.
Because of the lack of water and electricity, workers took turns taking showers, about every three days.
The engineering team has refrigerated trucks specially used to store food, as well as trucks specially used to transport food, water tankers loaded with water, oil tankers loaded with oil, and trailers and trailers used to transport equipment.
The entire human engineering team is fully equipped and well prepared to take root in southern Xinjiang for a long time.
Le Yun visited the construction team's facilities and admired Director He and the others. As expected, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
The desert environment is harsh, so the construction company found ways to adapt to local conditions and solve difficulties in transportation, transportation, food and accommodation.
To be honest, apart from the surrounding yellow sand, there is no place for entertainment or activities, because there is no signal in the desert, and there is not enough electricity to keep the workers' mobile phones powered at all times. The conditions are not much worse than those of construction teams in the city.
The food and housing conditions of the team of workers are up to standard. The construction company ensures that the living standards of the workers are not below the poverty line, and that they will not be forced to work for several years due to high-intensity work, and their bodies will not be worn down due to lack of nutrition and overwork.
The most important conditions for food and housing are met, and entertainment is optional. After all, workers are willing to work to make money, not to enjoy life.
There are no entertainment activities or places. At most, I feel bored occasionally. However, after working for a day, the workers basically have no extra mental energy to engage in entertainment activities. Everyone sits together to chat and yell a few times for entertainment. Besides, there is work at home. Isn't that also true?
