Alpine Orchard

Chapter 90 Xiao Mian catches a cold

Lin Xiaomian is very tired today, after eating, she is about to go upstairs to bed...

There was a loud thunder in the sky, which made her tremble in fright, and the electric lights in the house were instantly extinguished.

In remote mountain villages, power outages due to strong winds, thunderstorms, and heavy rains are all common occurrences.

Ye Mo took out his phone to light it up, looked at Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian: "The power is out, the upstairs is like a stove, do you want to go to the car to rest?"

"I'll go upstairs to have a look." Ye Ran went upstairs, and Lin Xiaomian followed.

The temperature upstairs is similar to that in the sauna, and the walls are hot.

The two went back to the room and opened the window, then went downstairs to Ye Mo's car to blow on the air conditioner.

"Turn down the air conditioner, don't catch a cold." Ye Mo said.

"know."

Ye Mo went back upstairs, brought the blankets down for the two of them, and knocked on the car door.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaomian opened the car door.

Ye Mo handed the blanket in and said, "Cover your stomach. Also, don't close all the windows of the car..."

"Oh." Lin Xiaomian smiled and took the blanket.

Ye Mo went back to help his mother tidy up the kitchen, and the heavy rain came pouring down, splashing, bursting, like a ladle pouring...

The heavy rain that just fell did not immediately bring a cool breath.

Mom went back to the bedroom. The first floor was also very hot, but it was bearable.

Ye Mo lit a plate of mosquito coils in the living room and lay down on the sofa.Xiao Mu lay beside the sofa, under Ye Mo's head, sticking out his tongue...

The heavy rain fell for about half an hour, turned into moderate rain, and then turned into light rain.

The temperature finally cooled down.

The two people in the car were not asleep yet, Ye Mo called them over and told them to go to the bedroom on the first floor to sleep.If you sleep in the car all night, with the air conditioner blowing all the time, you are especially prone to catch a cold...

Heavy rain at night.

The temperature in the morning is very cool...

But the still hot sun became sweltering in the afternoon.

Ye Mo mixed the soaked rhododendron seeds with organic fertilizer, took them to the side of the mountain and sprinkled them.According to the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain recently.

At noon, Ye Mo saw Lin Xiaomian listless...

"Brother, sister-in-law is not feeling well, take her to the hospital."

"You have a cold?" Ye Mo asked.

"I'm tired, I feel like I've caught a cold." Lin Xiaomian said aggrievedly.

Ye Mo touched her forehead, as if she had a little fever: "Let's go to town."

"I'm fine, just take a packet of cold medicine and rest for a while." Lin Xiaomian didn't want to go to the hospital.

"Be obedient." Ye Mo pulled Lin Xiaomian into the car.

The air conditioner was blowing in the car last night, coupled with physical fatigue, it was easy to catch a cold.

Went to the hospital in the town, gave Lin Xiaomian an injection, returned home, had dinner, took a nap...then regained some energy, and clamored to drive the excavator.

Ye Mo glared at her fiercely: "Rest at home, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"My lovely sister-in-law, be obedient..." Ye Ran held her face and said with a smile: "Ye Mo is going to do the work, and the money is yours. Rest well at home, and when the wages are paid, we will go shopping in the city ,Consumption."

"Relax at home and don't go anywhere." Ye Mo urged again, and got into Ye Ran's car.

Mother Ye also urged: "Be good, be obedient. Rest well at home."

The roads in the village should connect every household.

Yumin Orchard is 5.1 kilometers long from north to south, 2.4 kilometers shortest, 1.9 kilometers wide from east to west, and 400 meters narrowest.

The total length of the road to be repaired is 11.3 kilometers.There is also the original two-car asphalt road, the one that leads directly to the reservoir.

The road is fully covered with orchards.

The total cost of the entire road is estimated to be 520 million yuan.

The government subsidy is 242 million yuan.

The rest is invested according to the head, and each person contributes more than 9000 yuan.

Everyone is very positive about building the road.To this day, there are still people who want to lay asphalt roads.

Paving asphalt pavement can increase the service life of the road.

What's more, the road hardening on their side only uses sand and gravel concrete, and no steel bars are laid.It is indeed better if a layer of asphalt is laid.

It's just that some families spent a lot of money when they bought the orchard, and if they lay asphalt, they have to spend money again.

There were only Ye Mo and Ye Ran on the roadbed construction site in the afternoon.

Just as Ye Mo started the excavator, Chen Chen rode over and shouted, "Brother."

"Ah?" Ye Mo turned his head, "What's the matter?"

"come here."

Ye Mo turned off the excavator, and went under the shade of a tree with Chen Chen: "What's the matter?"

"The matter of road construction. Many people in the village want to lay asphalt..." Chen Chen said: "The asphalt road, based on the head, costs more than 7000 yuan per person."

"Almost. The road here is thin, and the asphalt is paved, usually in two layers... at least 2+3.5 cm." Ye Mo said.Everything is going up in price now. If asphalt is laid, each person will pay at least [-].Asphalt pavement, the government does not subsidize it.

"Do you think it is necessary to lay asphalt roads?"

Ye Mo shook his head: "It's not very necessary. But the asphalt road is paved, and the overall appearance should be better. From now on, we will sow flowers and plants on the side of the road... It's not bad to have asphalt paved. Actually, it can be paved. Asphalt, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing to lay asphalt in the future. Are you having financial difficulties?"

"No difficulty." Chen Chen said.

For Chen Chen and his family of three, it costs more than 2 yuan to lay asphalt.Say no more, say less.

After all, their village is all relocated households...

Chen Chen's family bought the orchard here, and they still have several hundred thousand in their hands.

It costs a little more to build roads here, and a little less budget to build houses on the other side, which is mainly for decoration.

"There's no difficulty, that's just the shop. There's no harm in making the village more beautiful and upscale." Ye Mo said with a smile.

Chen Chen smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go back and mobilize the second uncle and the others. Actually, I also want to build the asphalt road."

After Chen Chen left, Ye Mo returned to the excavator, started the excavator, pulled the accelerator to the end, and drove straight away.

It took Lin Xiaomian micro-digging for two full days, but the working speed was indeed a bit slow, and Ye Ran almost caught up with him.

Driving the excavator, Ye Mo suddenly saw a piece of fungus in the orchard ahead, and stopped the machine...

A piece of chicken fir mushroom.

Ye Mo had already picked up the Gallus pilosula fungus when he was a child.This piece of chicken fir fungus has rotted a lot.

If it is found in the morning, it is estimated that it can pick up seven or eight catties.It's past six o'clock in the afternoon...

Ye Mo picked out the good chicken fir fungus, and there was one that weighed more than a catty. He could take it home for frying and make a soup.

Put the chicken fir fungus under the shade of the tree, and continue to return to the car and drive the excavator.

The sun was setting in the west, and the heat was beginning to be unbearable again.

The excavator is equipped with a small electric fan, and the wind blowing out is hot.

Add to that the noise of the excavator...

Ye Mo's whole body was a little anxious and irritable.

The current weather is really not suitable for working.No wonder Lin Xiaomian is sick...

In the evening, long after the sun had set, Lin Xiaomian drove over with a big thermos.

Ye Ran stopped the machine behind and called Ye Mo.

"I made mung bean soup, come here and have a rest." Lin Xiaomian shouted.

The mung bean soup is already mild, and it should have been cooked for a while.

"You feel better." Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian and said.

"Already energetic."

"Just say if you're not feeling well, don't hold on." Ye Mo reached out and pressed her head: "If you tell me that you are not feeling well in the morning, you won't have to go for an injection."

"It's just..." Ye Ran looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Don't treat me as an outsider. If I'm not feeling well, I won't go to work."

"It won't happen in the future." Lin Xiaomian lowered her head and said.
