survival in the wilderness

Chapter 145 Mine Road

Lin Yan shared his thoughts with Heitu, who is in charge of the road construction this time.

Heitu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, and immediately arranged for people to do it.

At the beginning of April, when the wheat in the field gradually turned yellow, the road construction also came to an end.Only the last paragraph is left, and it will be finished.

Everyone is working hard. Although they are exhausted every day, they are excited to see their achievements and add a smooth road every day.

As long as this road is opened, it will not be too convenient to come to the mine in the future.

In order to reward everyone, Heitu slaughtered all the dozen or so sheep that bumped into it yesterday and made soup and stewed meat, adding fungi such as fungus and mushrooms, which made people's index fingers move when they smelled it.

They made noodles again, and everyone was full, so they ate a lot this day.

Most of the time when building roads outside, they ate steamed buns. There were too many people, and it took a lot of work to make noodles. In the past few months, they could only eat one meal every ten days.

This time, the road construction was in charge of the food, and the finance paid for the flour and so on. It was a big expense for so many people to eat for a few months.

As the person in charge, Heitu was shocked when he saw the budget.Therefore, when building roads, you can save as much as you can. After all, there is no money in the finances.

Thinking that the project would be finished in a few days, Heitu heaved a sigh of relief.

In mid-April, the wheat in the field was ripe, and people in Sun City began to rush to harvest it.

This season's wheat is very important, and it is related to everyone's rations.

In order to build roads, last year's grain stockpile was almost exhausted, just waiting for new wheat to come down.

A Lan asked the rest of the military and those who could work in Sun City to go to the fields to collect them.

All [-] rack carts are used, and you can see full rack carts walking on the road at any time.Such a grand occasion, whether it is an adult or a child, is full of smiles on their faces.

Just when the rush of people in Sun City came to an end, the road builders went home.

On April [-]th, Heitu returned to Sun City with hundreds of people carrying tools.So far, all the roads leading to the mine have been opened, and the wooden houses on the road have also been built.

Seeing the people working in the fields, they had no time to rest and joined the rush to harvest.After several days of busy work, every family took back their wheat before they dared to rest in peace.

Every rush to harvest is the most tiring time, working in the fields from dawn to dusk.But people are in a good mood, and the joy of harvest can dispel all fatigue.

When everyone else was resting, Alan called the arbitration court for a meeting with the topic of road construction.

As the person in charge, Heitu reported to the work, and met the expectant eyes. He was a little excited and said: "The road leading to the mine has been completed, and it took 85 days. The total length of the road is 320 miles, leading directly to the foot of the mine. Fifteen wooden houses cost about 1300 yuan in total, including labor, food and loss of various tools."

Just this number shocked everyone.They had expected to spend a lot of money, but they still underestimated the cost, and it was hundreds of dollars more than expected.

Seeing everyone's shock, Heitu said: "The money is worth the money. Now the road has been repaired, trucks can pass, and people can walk easily. Anyone who wants to go to the mine can go together to see the outside world. "

"That's right, it's worth the money." Alan praised, "I want to go there myself, wait a minute, let's go and see the mine together. I called everyone here today to let you all know about the mine. The details of road construction, and then the name of this road. This is the first road leading to the outside built by our Sun City people, which has a different meaning.”

Shui Pozi said quickly: "What name do you have? It's the one who goes to the mine. It would be better to call it Mine Road."

Others also agreed that it was indeed a good name, and they knew where it was going after hearing it.

Everyone has no objection, Alan said: "Okay, then it will be called Kuangshan Road. There will be a notice tomorrow, and the situation of Kuangshan Road will be clearly written and posted outside."

After the road had a name, Alan mentioned the matter of mining. Now that the road has been repaired, the mining must be arranged.

The mines are under the management of the Materials Department. They are public resources and cannot be mined by individuals.

Minglan immediately said: "Since this is the case, I think we should build houses and fences in the mine, so that people who dig in the mine will have a place to live in the future, so they don't have to worry too much at night."

"This proposal is very good, I agree." Alan felt that this matter was feasible.

Bai Yun said: "The transport of ore is cumbersome, why not build an iron-making factory in the mine, and we will only transport refined iron back."

Heitu was the first to agree: "This is the best way. The refined iron brought back has less impurities, and there is no need to pull some waste back all the way."

After a few hours of meeting, the matter was discussed and everyone was in a good mood.

The matter of the mine is over, and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Moreover, this season's wheat harvest has been bumper, and every family has surplus food, which can be regarded as solving the food problem.

After the wheat was brought back, every household was busy digging the soil before threshing, and they wanted to sow the second season of wheat by the end of April.

I am usually busy weeding and repelling insects in the wheat field to prevent birds and wild animals from spoiling me. It can be said that I have no free time.

Since the wheat was planted last year, no one is idle in every family.In every field, people can be seen busy.

Lin Yan, who came back from road construction, slept soundly for a whole day before feeling exhausted all over his body.

Huahong looked at her distressedly, "It's been a few months, and I'm dark and thin, and I look even thinner. A Niang made delicious food for you, get up and eat, and make up for it."

For this reason, Huahong also cut a few slices of wild ginseng and put it in the soup, just to give Lin Yan a big meal.

Being outside is no better than at home. I can't eat well, sleep well, and have to worry more. Hua Hong is often worried these days.

Back then when the road was being built, the family couldn't leave, and neither Huahong nor Jinzai went.

The two of them were always worried about Lin Yan at home, and they didn't let go of their worries until they saw her come back intact.

Lin Yan looked at Huahong with a smile, and said lazily, "Mother, I'll get up later, you go to work first."

Huahong looked at her worriedly, "Haven't recovered yet? What's wrong?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "It's nothing uncomfortable, I'm just lazy and don't want to get up. I'll get up and eat later, don't worry, Ma'am. I'm really fine."

After the road was repaired and a major event was completed, Lin Yan felt a lot more relaxed, as if the boulder on his shoulders had been lifted.

Huahong didn't persuade her anymore, and went out to work.

Jin Zai was also preparing the ingredients in the kitchen. Seeing that Hua Hong was the only one, he worried, "What's wrong with Lin Yan, why don't you come to eat?"

Huahong shook her head, "It's okay, I'm just lazy, let her rest, and get up when she's hungry. You said, she has a lot of things to worry about at a young age. She exhausted herself to death. Woolen cloth."

Jin Zai smiled innocently, "As long as she is happy."

While the two were working, they chatted gossip, most of which were Hua Hong's, and Jin Zai occasionally chimed in.
