Liu Hai walked out of the bedroom door and started a busy day, his heart still aching.
"Dad, did Uncle Wu say he was calling for someone to dig a well today?"
Liu Hai walked into the main room, took the kitchen knife from his father's hand, and began to chop pig grass skillfully and rhythmically. Liu Hai had done this kind of work since he was a child, so he was naturally familiar with it.
"Yes, today your Uncle Wu will bring two people to choose a place to dig a well. Later you will buy two kilograms of meat."
Liu Qinglin gave Liu Hai the task of chopping pigweed, and his hands were not idle either. He was always busy with other housework.
Choosing a place to dig a well is naturally the top priority! Choosing the right place to dig a well will save at least half the effort! Liu Wu is a famous well-drilling expert in the area near Maohe Village. Basically, the wells in several villages around this area are
It was made by him and his team!
Liu Wu often took on the job of digging wells, so naturally a group of helpers gathered around him to do this kind of work.
Before dawn, Liu Wu led two strong men into Liu Hai's courtyard. All three of them held many tools needed to dig a well.
The three of them had just entered the door when they happened to meet Liu Hai going out to buy meat.
"Xiaohai, why don't you go out? Where's your dad?" Liu Wu's face was filled with boldness.
Liu Hai smiled indifferently and said politely: "Uncle Wu, you guys came so early, my dad is at home."
Just as he was talking, Liu Qinglin heard the sound and walked out of the courtyard.
"Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? Xiaohai, hurry up and buy two kilograms of meat and bring back two bottles of rice wine. You still have rice wine at home, so you don't need to buy it!" Liu Qinglin is usually a very hospitable person.
Entertain the people you invite to help, and you won’t treat others badly!
Liu Hai responded with a smile.
When Liu Hai came back from shopping, he found that the two people Liu Wuhe had brought with him, as well as his own father, were standing in the left corner of the front yard, talking about something.
After listening carefully, I found out that while Liu Hai was out shopping, Liu Wu had already surveyed the area and initially felt that the best place to dig a well was in the left corner of his front yard.
Liu Hai looked around the left corner, but couldn't see any difference between this corner and other places. He was very curious, and wondered why Liu Wu thought this corner was the best place.
Liu Qinglin took what was in Liu Hai's hand, turned around and went into the house to make breakfast for everyone, while Liu Hai curiously leaned towards the left corner of the front yard.
"Uncle Wu, how did you know this place is suitable for digging a well?"
After such a long period of contact, Liu Hai and Liu Wu are already very familiar with each other. There is no need to worry about anything when speaking. If you have any questions, you can just ask them directly.
Liu Wu looked at Liu Hai with a smile. He was holding a cigarette rolled in paper in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. He took a puff of white mist and skillfully made smoke rings. This look was in Liu Hai's eyes.
There seems to be some unfathomable flavor in it.
"Xiao Hai, although you are now a college student, when it comes to digging wells, you are an outsider! As the old saying goes: an expert sees the door, and an outsider sees the fun. Naturally, you, a layman, can't see the way of doing this."
"Look, the terrain in this corner is relatively high, and the slope is facing the direction where the sun sets. Look here, it's about ten meters away from the sycamore tree outside your yard. The sycamore tree likes water.
, Generally, where there are sycamore trees, there is water underground! Look at the soil here——"
As Liu Wu spoke, he grabbed a handful of soil from the left corner of the yard and said to Liu Hai: "This soil feels greasy to the touch, and smells like rotten eggs in the nose. There is water underneath. That's
No need to run!"
Liu Wu spoke very seriously, his brows furrowed, and he looked extremely serious. There was strong confidence in his words, because he learned all this knowledge from the seniors who dug wells in the past. Coupled with the verification of his own years of drilling wells,
These experiences have formed skills and are embedded in his bones.
Liu Hai looked at Liu Wu, who was usually not very conspicuous, and talked about digging a well. He spoke clearly, held his head high, waved the wind brought by his hands, and blew smoke out of his mouth. It was a kind of confident guidance!
The image of Liu Wu seriously talking about his well-drilling experience was deeply engraved in Liu Hai's mind at this moment.
This is a temperament, a temperament that brings knowledge and confidence through work!
Suddenly, Liu Hai felt moved. Only simple and down-to-earth working people can have this simple and unpretentious temperament, which is the most pure and rare.
"Besides, for the convenience of management in the future, it would be best to dig the well in your own yard. From now on, your family will no longer have to go to the Mao River to collect water."
Liu Hai nodded secretly, but it was so. The distance between his home and the greenhouse base was slightly closer than that of the Maoheli greenhouse base. The length of the water pipe he bought was sufficient, and from the perspective of convenient management, it was placed
It is much easier to manage your own yard! More importantly, Liu Wu’s last words deeply touched Liu Hai’s heart!
Liu Hai's mother and old man are definitely not allowed to go to the Mao River to fetch water. Usually it is Liu Wu and Liu Qinglin who fetch water. If Liu Qinglin goes to the capital, this task falls on Liu Qinglin alone!
Liu Qinglin, who already had to manage a greenhouse base, also had to take care of most of the housework at home. Liu Hai really couldn't bear to let his father be so tired!
I already strongly agree with Liu Wu's statement.
"Uncle Wu, tell me, when digging a well here, how deep does it need to be before water comes out?"
Liu Hai raised another question that he was very interested in.
Liu Wu continued to smoke, but this time, a man next to him spoke first: "According to our past experience in this area, if you drill a shallower well to six or seven meters, there will be water. If you drill a deeper well, some of them will have water."
Drilling to a depth of more than ten meters! Last time, we drilled an eleven-meter-deep well!"
Liu Wu nodded and said, "Yes, but Xiaohai, don't worry. The soil where we dug the well last time was not only dry, but there were too many gravels underneath! And there must be a lot of gravel below in your yard."
Stones, but I checked carefully. The soil in this left corner is very soft. Judging from the fact that there are no protruding stones within ten meters around, there should be no big stones below! Some small stones don't have much to do with it!
"
When Liu Hai heard this, he truly believed that Liu Wu's well-drilling skills were superb! Judging from Liu Wu's thorough consideration in selecting the well-drilling location, he already had the demeanor of a "well-drilling master"!
After chatting for a while, Liu Qinglin had already prepared breakfast.
After everyone finished breakfast, Liu Hai, Liu Xiaofu, and Liu Chen took Liu Zi to the back mountain to beat dates. Tomorrow, Liu Hai will take his mother Xiao Yun to the provincial capital to review his health. Last night, Xiao Yun asked Liu Hai to beat some dates today.
Dates were brought to the provincial capital as favors.
