Gao Shouwang bought cement and river sand, and the tractor unloaded the things directly at the Xing'anling factory site, so Gao Mingcheng pushed the flatbed truck there to load the goods.
He asked Gao Shouwang to help buy cement and river sand. Firstly, it was convenient, and secondly, the price would be cheaper if they were bought together.
He easily returned to Gaojia Village with a cart full of things. When passing by the old village, he first carried a few bags of cement and river sand to his parents' house, asking them to move the kitchen to the toilet. Cover the block with cement.
This is where his grandmother wrestled next winter.
He couldn't watch over his grandma all the time, but he was willing to do some of the things that needed to be done.
If fate dictates that Grandma Gao will die from wrestling, then she can still fall on flat ground.
But Gao Mingcheng has different feelings in his heart about doing and not doing. Sometimes we do something not to pursue a certain result, but simply because of some kind of inner need.
For example, helping others, being a saint in front of others, and being a teacher all have some emotional value.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Grandma Gao would die from wrestling next year, so if he didn't do it, his conscience would be uneasy, but if he did, he would feel no guilt.
"Why should we pave the ground at this time? Your father said that after saving a few more years, he plans to knock down this house and build a new two-story building!" Luo Xiaohua said, not wanting to spend the effort to pave the ground. Concrete floor.
At this time, the cement floor is laid, and when the time comes to knock it down and rebuild the house, the cement floor will be wasted again!
It was precisely for this reason in the previous life that even though the road from the kitchen to the toilet was in bad condition and would be slippery and difficult to walk on rainy days, the family still did not lay the floor.
A small two-story building was built behind it, but so what? Grandma Gao, who had suffered all her life, didn't even stay there for a day.
She suffered a lifetime of suffering, and before she died, she suffered a long period of pain from a broken bone, and died in agony.
Gao Mingcheng knew that he couldn't tell the truth, so he looked at his father Gao Yuanyuan and said: "That stretch of road is usually fine, but when it rains, let alone grandma, even when we walk, it is easy to slip and fall. Elderly people are most afraid of falling, so it’s better to lay cement first.”
"I sent all the cement and river sand. Dad, you spent two days paving that section of the road."
Gao Yuanyuan originally didn't want to bother. He thought that when he rebuilt the house in a few years, he would do it in one step.
I just heard Gao Mingcheng mention Gao Nainai, and he was Gao Nainai's biological son after all, so I was a little moved.
"Okay, this is also your filial piety. I will spread the gravel on the uneven ground to level it out later. I just happen to have some gravel piled at home for use." Gao Yuanyuan said, Having decided to do it, he went to find a shovel to break up the stones and level the uneven ground.
Luo Xiaohua pouted, disapproving, but said nothing more.
Grandma Gao was sitting under the eaves, taking in this scene completely, with a daisy-like smile on her weather-beaten face.
She waved Gao Mingcheng over and asked gently: "Mingcheng, you have been married for a while. Is there any news about Duomei's belly?"
Gao Mingcheng was embarrassed for a few seconds, but he didn't expect that he encountered the birth-inducing skills from Grandma Gao.
His mother is now devoted to taking care of her eldest grandson, but has no intention of caring about him. Of course, he is happy with it.
"Domei and I are still young, so we can wait two years to have another child," Gao Mingcheng said.
But Grandma Gao disagreed and gave an example: "Why are you young? You are half a year older than Gao Zhuang, but he got married after you and got pregnant first!"
Gao Mingcheng complained that Gao Zhuang was not pregnant, but his wife was!
It can be seen that there are certain benefits to marrying a wife who is older than yourself.
Gao Mingcheng chatted with Grandma Gao for a while, and then said that he would also go back and pave the yard with cement so that after the rice was harvested, there would be a place to dry it.
This was a serious matter, so Grandma Gao didn't leave him much and let him go about his business.
Gao Mingcheng pushed the remaining cement and river sand back to his home. Instead of busy working, he first sent the flatbed truck to others.
This car is borrowed, but Gao Mingcheng has already planned to build a flatbed truck himself.
Almost half of the people in their village own flatbeds, and some families have wheelbarrows. The wheelbarrows can hold less things, but they can go along relatively narrow field ridges.
During the harvest season, some families whose rice fields are far away from home will transport the harvested rice home in wheelbarrows and then thresh it.
Traditional threshing is done in something like a deep wooden basin. Some people also pick up the rice and smash it against the cement wall to thresh it.
But with the advancement of technology, there are now threshing machines. When you step on the pedal of the threshing machine, the large drum embedded with iron rings will rotate, and then use these semi-circular iron rings to beat down the rice.
It's just that a threshing machine is a large farm tool, and not every household has one. At this time, you need to borrow it, or you can borrow it from the brigade. The brigade has several threshing machines that can be lent to the villagers.
The topic has gone off topic. Gao Mingcheng, who only has one acre of land, has no plans to build a wheelbarrow or spend money on a threshing machine. How much rice can be produced in one acre of land? With his strength, he can harvest and thresh at will, without even needing to borrow a threshing machine.
His yard is relatively large. When the house was built, the ground had been leveled and a layer of gravel had been laid. There would be no problem walking in it, but it would definitely be inconvenient to dry the millet.
Now he found an open space and began to mix cement and river sand together. He knew this ratio well. He had worked in real estate in his previous life, and he had also observed and helped when building houses in this life.
First, mix the cement. After the cement is mixed, it can be used. You need to use tools to transport the mixed cement to a certain place, then use a shovel to spread it, pave it, and finally make some shallow textures. This is how you can Play an anti-slip role.
When paving a cement floor, do not cover the entire floor, but divide it into small pieces. There needs to be a gap of about one centimeter between each piece. This is because the cement will expand and contract with heat, so some gaps are needed to make it difficult. split.
In previous lives, when some people were paving the road, they would lay it as a whole, and then wait for the cement to dry, and then use a cutting machine to cut the road surface at a certain distance.
Gao Mingcheng didn't have a cutting machine, and he didn't plan to go to that much trouble. He considered the problems that would arise later when he was laying.
After spending a whole day, Gao Mingcheng finally paved the entire yard with cement. He stood under the eaves, looking at the cement yard that was still dry, with a satisfied smile.
The gravel yard before had a half-finished and cheap feel, but now the smooth cement floor looks classy!
Today, the kindergarten held a performance in advance. The children were very busy and tired, and the adults had no time to spare. My daughter had three performances, and my two-year-old son also had a dance performance. Surprisingly, my son danced in the audience. the best! !
——This is not a blind boast, it is true. There are ten children in the kindergarten, all under the age of three, and many of them are stupid. My son has the highest degree of dance completion! Without his presence, the entire care class would collapse!
There are a lot of monthly votes today. Thanks to my friends for their support and love. Unfortunately, I have been busy with chores recently and am not in a good state. I will add more updates as soon as I recover!
I’m so tired today, I have to go to sleep, and when I wake up, I’ll send my baby to the kindergarten and start coding!
