"Aren't there small harvesters now? They are carried diagonally on the back, with the saw wheel side facing the rice. They are pretty fast, right?"
Zhang Yanping couldn't help but ask.
"No," Song Sancheng waved his hand. "I went to the store in town and tried it. It's very heavy. Young people like you don't have any strength. You can't even lift it after swinging your arms twice."
They could... but there's no need!
"Besides, that thing burns a lot of oil, and the saw blade at the front wears out a lot. The machine is not expensive, only three or five hundred yuan, but if it gets stuck during use, it will really delay..."
As he spoke, he could not help but miss the past:
"I used to be a good rice harvester. I could harvest rice for one and a half minutes in an hour."
Song Youde also nodded: "Indeed, you are better at this job than me, so I can get one more acre of land."
The father and son can finish the work of these two acres of land in one day. This is the main reason why they don't want to spend money.
The two of them reminisced about the past and made plans at the same time.
Old man Li was not to be outdone: "Don't look down on my age, I can help cut a few bunches, and I can definitely finish it in one day!"
The three people's bold words made Song Tan stunned as soon as he stepped into the door!
Isn't the reason she earns so much money to improve her family's lives and tell them to work less
Then her dad and grandpa had to go harvest the rice themselves - it was such a hot day, what if they got heatstroke while working in the fields? Why was she working so hard
So he waved his hand and said, "No one move."
"I'm hiring someone, 150 a day should be ok, right?"
Both men and women in the village can do it. You can just hire two people to finish the job in one day. Why should you work yourself to death
At most, other people cannot finish the work in a day, so my family members go to help, which can also satisfy my craving for harvesting rice - after all, I haven't planted rice for decades.
Song Youde and Song Sancheng didn't really want to harvest rice, but when they heard the price they could accept it.
After all, it is normal to hire people to do work during the busy farming season!
With this space freed up, they can also choose to plant seeds, hoe the fields and raise seedlings!
At this moment, he nodded quickly:
"OK."
Then he asked old man Li: "When the time comes, drain the water from the rice fields to avoid people getting stuck. After the rice is harvested, dry it in the fields first. I will clear a yard here to dry it..."
Old man Li was also worried: "The fields must be drained, but no matter how well they are drained, there will definitely be moisture in the next few days. The rice will dry slowly when it is hung on the ground. And if there is a heavy rain or something, it will be difficult to harvest..."
Summer's face and children's faces are both changeable. Rainstorms can come at any time, so we have to be on guard.
Before that, they need to select seeds and raise seedlings again, so as to burn the rice straw and turn the soil quickly after the rice is harvested, and then plant the next crop.
As for the drying place...
"There's no need to go out of your way to vacate it."
Song Tan reminded: "You forgot that the construction team said two days ago that the project was basically completed."
Of course, the furniture and doors and windows have not been arranged yet, but all the main parts have been completed. The water and electricity pipes are also secure, and the latex paint and cement tiles are all laid.
The renovation procedures for the old house submitted were signed and stamped by Secretary Xiaozhu, and the application submitted was for the renovation of the family farm housing.
He renovated his own place and spent money to pool the residential land of several households together and asked the staff of the land bureau to take photos for the archives.
Not to mention the large yard outside, the entire house covers an area of 370 square meters.
In addition to the three-story main building, the side house is 1-2 stories...
Not to mention how spacious it is!
The land office also took photos and archived them for verification... In other words, there is nothing wrong with the house!
If you're in a hurry, you can move in now.
White walls, gray tiles, long corridors with curved eaves, stone paving, empty flower beds... Even before the greenery was planted in the yard, it already had a Chinese aesthetic.
Most importantly, spacious.
Not only is the yard spacious and tidy, but the large open space in front of the door is also particularly flat, perfect for drying rice.
It was so hot these days, and the engineering team was so meticulous in their work, that no one paid attention. When I heard this, I was pleasantly surprised:
“So fast?!”
Song Sancheng was filled with joy, and then he couldn't help talking to himself: "It's really fast! In the past, it took a lot of effort to lay the floor, and you had to tamp it down desperately. Now people have tamping machines, and they can finish a day's work in just a few strokes... This high technology is different."
Then he stared at Song Tan and asked the most important question: "How much did this house cost in total?"
How much did it cost? Of course it was a lot. Basically all of my income for the past six months was spent on it.
Not to mention anything else, the pit of the main building foundation alone is 2.7 meters deep and one meter wide! Add to that the side rooms and other...
The engineering team quoted a price of 89,000 yuan for the entire project including labor and materials.
The ground beam is 80 centimeters long and uses 8 steel bars, plus the slab surface, 3 floors and two side houses, the whole package cost more than 400,000...
In recent years, material costs have been rising year by year, the price of cement has skyrocketed, and even red bricks cost 50 cents a piece. When Song Tan did the math, his heart ached.
I can't say it directly at this moment.
So he avoided the main point and said, "The plumbing, electricity, latex paint, etc. in the house have all been done. If it weren't for the delay in waterproofing and painting, it should have been done half a month ago. I went to check, and there was no smell at all."
After all, the floor height of a country house is much higher than that of a commercial residence. Without doors and windows, the ventilation is very good. When the weather is hot and the wind blows, the little formaldehyde left can no longer be retained.
However, to be on the safe side, the engineering team will bring in a dozen large industrial fans after the handover tonight.
"You can take a look at it when you have nothing to do, and think about how to clean your own room."
The batch of furniture purchased by Zhao Fangyuan has arrived. This was included in the design drawings at the beginning, but some details can be adjusted by oneself.
Now, not to mention Song Sancheng, even Xin Jun and Zhang Yanping are looking forward to it!
Apart from anything else, the new house has plenty of toilets!
Everyone didn't even care about the rice anymore, and started to happily calculate: "If that's the case, then we can move in next month, right?"
"Oh! Then we have to prepare a big greenhouse dinner!" This is Song Sancheng.
Uncle Seven also perked up: "I have to go check the kitchen! I have a whole set of cutting boards, I have to see where to put them!"
Qiao Qiao looked around and asked, "Do I have a place to go to school?"
Wu Lan thought to himself: The design left a lot of space for the side room, so it would be no problem for more than a dozen people to live there!
In that case, can we take the child over to his grandparents while the weather is hot
I don't want the elderly to work, I just want them to have some free time and give me a chance to accompany them. By the way, I also want my aunt, who has been taking care of the elderly for many years, to relax.
