Chapter 59 Buy firecrackers and wish you a happy New Year!
After studying the formation and randomly throwing it away, Zhang Lan originally wanted to take a nap, but her mother nagged her to go to the old house to supervise the well digging.

After standing in the old house and watching the well drilling for a while, Zhang Lan felt that it was really boring. She opened a love rescue group and reported to be on duty.I turned around and went to the car to see what was missing in the trunk. After thinking about it, I moved a piece of mineral water and half a box of ham sausage from the house and threw them into the trunk.

Apart from one electric call in the afternoon, there was nothing that required rescue.But it did pass the boring time. I called for rescue several times in the city. Except once it was a tow truck and the rest were electric calls.In the private chat group, those who reported for duty were chatting happily.

Zhang Lan was looking at his cell phone on the recliner in the main room of his old house. The sound of drilling outside the door was barely resolved by him finding a silent earphone and putting it on his ears.At six o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhang Lan put away her mobile phone and locked the door. After talking to Zhang Baoguo of the well-drilling team, she went home to eat.

In the evening, Zhang Hu sent a WeChat message saying that it was done, and we would see how things go in the next few days.Zhang Lan replied with a smile to show that she had seen it and did not answer again.

In the next few days, Zhang Lan stayed at the old house, answering questions and answering questions for people who came to burn incense in the morning. Since the well was being dug and the noise was very loud, not many people came from the surrounding villages. Most of them came after hearing about it from far away. of.In the afternoon, the charity group reported to be on duty for rescue, and half a month passed like this. The well had been drilled, the pipes had been laid, and the water pump had been installed. All that was left was to test the water volume by placing the pipes.However, Zhang Baoguo, who dug the well, was very confident, saying that he had dug a good well and would not be able to drink enough water in the future.Even if it is watering, it is not a problem to water more than ten acres of land.The old house of Zhang Lan's family is in the southwest corner of the village, separated by a river from the large farmland in the south of the village. To the west is a hillside. There are dozens of acres of good terraced farmland under the hillside. Zhang Lan's family has more than an acre of grain fields there. .

When it comes to farming all year round, except for growing corn in autumn, which is a guaranteed profit, growing wheat can only be regarded as hard-earned money. Sometimes during the dry season, the money for watering the land and pesticide seeds is deducted. In the end, instead of making money, you will lose money.

Nowadays, except for those who have contracted dozens or hundreds of acres of land and have their own motorized wells, the rest of the village basically only grows corn once a year.

In their words, growing wheat is a lot of work and they can't make money. They have to go home to harvest wheat when the farm is busy.

As for crops like wheat, there is basically no good harvest if they are not watered. After working for a few months, not only can't make money, but sometimes you will lose money. It is better to work outside to earn a month's salary.

After calculating the money for drilling the well with Zhang Baoguo, Zhang Lan and his father Zhang Dahai calculated how long of pipe they needed to buy.But it's already the end of December, New Year's Day is coming soon, and the night temperatures are already starting to freeze.Wheat is no longer suitable for irrigation. After calculating the approximate length of pipes needed, Zhang Lan is not in a hurry to buy it. It is not too late to buy it after the New Year.

Since talking about the solution to Zhang Hu last time, Zhang Hu, apart from the occasional WeChat chat, made a phone call two days ago to say that Zhang Lan's method is quite effective. There have been no injuries on the construction site recently. However, occasionally a construction vehicle will have a minor breakdown.Zhang Lan ignored him. Whoever's construction vehicles at the construction site can always guarantee that they don't break down would be a god.

As New Year's Day approached, Zhang Lan took some time to go to the city to see if she could buy some fireworks.The ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers has been mentioned for several years, but during the holidays here in Zhang Lan, as long as they are not too arrogant, no one will care about setting off one or two fireworks occasionally.

After driving around the city, Zhang Lan realized that he had thought wrong.You could still buy fireworks during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now all those shops no longer sell them.The first question was that the superior leaders had issued a notice that in order to create a civilized and hygienic city, fireworks and firecrackers were banned from now on. If they are found, they should be dealt with together, and they should be banned from the source.

Zhang Lan gave up after shopping several stores in a row but still couldn't find any.I drove back to the village and asked about the small supermarket in the village.As a result, the boss also said that he was paying close attention to this. If Zhang Lan wanted to buy fireworks, there were no fireworks. There were still some stocks of five hundred and one thousand firecrackers, so he asked Zhang Lan if he wanted them.Zhang Lan sighed and waved his hand, what did he want the firecrackers for?He wanted to celebrate the New Year but not visit the grave.Thinking of going to the grave, Zhang Lan thought for a moment and turned around after leaving the supermarket. He bought a dozen firecrackers of 2 and [-] rings from the boss. He was afraid that he would not be able to buy even one firecracker when he went to the grave during the New Year, so he simply Take the opportunity to buy some, as the Chinese New Year is only about [-] months away. Buy some and keep them at home, and use them to visit the tombs of ancestors on the [-]th of the year.

Seeing Zhang Lan carrying a box into the house, Zhang Lan's mother asked, "What are you holding?"

"I bought some firecrackers. Today I want to go to the city to buy some fireworks for two days to set off fireworks on New Year's Day. Who knows that there are no fireworks sellers in the city now. I bought them from the small supermarket in our village. Light five thousand firecrackers and save them for visiting the grave." Zhang Lan explained to her mother and put the box on the coffee table for her mother to take a look at.

Zhang Lan's mother rummaged through the box and looked at the more than 30 firecrackers hanging in the box. She couldn't help but said, "Why did you buy so many? There's room for so many."

"During the Chinese New Year, sometimes you have to set off a firecracker at noon. And the inspection is so strict this year. Maybe someone won't be able to buy it by then. If you take it and share it, it will be gone, and it won't be worth the money. Put this thing away What kind?" Zhang Lan picked up the box and asked her mother where to put the box.

"Put it upstairs. You can just find a place to put it in the rooms upstairs."

Zhang Lan responded and carried the box upstairs.Zhang Lan's house is an ordinary two-story self-built house in rural areas. The family lives on the first floor. The second floor is empty except for a light and several small rooms without doors.

He found a room for storing sundries and separated the boxes. Looking at the empty second floor, Zhang Lan thought for a while but gave up. He suddenly got the idea to decorate the second floor, but he thought it would be too much money to spend. Well, he shook his head and gave up.

On the first floor, Zhang Lan couldn't help but mention it to her mother: "Mom, why don't we install doors in the rooms on the second floor?"

Zhang Lan's mother raised her head, glanced at Zhang Lan, and said slowly: "If you want to install a second floor, that's no problem. When our house won't be able to accommodate people on the first floor during the Chinese New Year, you'll be lucky even if you flip the house over and build it again." "

Zhang Lan shut up when he heard this. His mother had a problem with him wandering around alone all day. His cousin Zhang Hu was two years older than him and had two children, the eldest of whom was in elementary school.He is still a bachelor, so it is better not to bring up such topics.
