It was hard for two people to move around in the narrow well, and Mou Lin had already estimated the weight of the stone when he was lifting it. "Master Lin, you go up first. I'll try to carry this stone. If it doesn't work, you can come down and help me.”
Master Lin's eyes almost popped out." Kid, don't try to be brave. This rock weighs more than 100 to 200 catties. Can you do it alone?”
Mou Lin didn't care about that." Hehe, let's try the assembly. We can't turn the well even if we're both in it."”
Master Lin nodded helplessly." That's true. Alright then, I'll go up first. You have to be careful. Spinning your waist isn't fun. You'll suffer when you're old."”
Mou Lin was very touched. He nodded slightly." Okay, I'll be careful. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."”
After Master Lin went up, Mou Lin took a deep breath and held his breath. He picked up the stone and gently put it on the place that was smeared with cement.”
Master Lin and the village chief, who were watching from above the well, were a little stunned. They wondered if this kid had eaten some spinach from Popeye. He had picked up such a big and heavy rock and placed it properly. However, his face, which was full of mud spots, was slightly red. If it was an ordinary person who wanted to lift this rock, they would definitely pant heavily. However, looking at the kid in the well, he was panting a little, but not heavily. The two of them felt that it was something to be proud of. They nodded." Good kid, you're really something. You easily lifted a rock weighing nearly 200 catties, and your face wasn't red or you were panting." Very good. It's the child of a farmer."
The village chief couldn't believe his eyes." Mou Lin, I don't have to worry about you anymore. With your strength, you can make money no matter where you go." Why don't you take Master Lin as your disciple? Master Lin's craftsmanship is one of the best in our village. As long as you become his disciple and work hard in the future, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of money. The bricklayers outside were paid quite a lot. They were paid hundreds of yuan a day.”
Master Lin was also a little moved. Which brilliant master would not want to accept a good disciple? However, Mou Lin shook his head." Hehe, if my parents were still here and I couldn't read it, I would definitely follow Master Lin." But look, if I leave with Master Lin, who will I hand over the land to? Could it be that he came back in August to harvest the grain? It would not be good if no one looked after the fields for a long time. There were often wild rabbits and pheasants in the forest behind the house. They would definitely eat all the vegetables in the field. It was the same in the fields. If there was a lack of water, they would definitely die. If it rained heavily for a few days in a row, they would have to dig open the gap and drain the excess water. Otherwise, those seedlings would definitely not survive. When I came back after I left, I saw that the entire field was filled with weeds. Then I could only drink the northwest wind.”
If the Mou Lin family was in the village at the foot of the mountain, he might really agree to it after the village chief said so. However, his house was on the top of the mountain. The villagers would definitely not take the initiative to come to his house to help take care of his family's fields and land. Most importantly, wild rabbits liked to move around at night.
Master Lin didn't say anything more. Craftsmen were proud, and highly skilled craftsmen were even more proud. However, the village chief's thoughts were different." Kid, have you never thought of buying a house in the city when you have money? At that time, they could be considered city people. Look at our village. In the past, there were hundreds of families with thousands of people. How many people are there now? There were less than 100 people, old and young. After they got rich, they went to the city to buy houses. Many of them didn't even come back.”
Mou Lin smiled bitterly." Uncle Village Chief, don't try to persuade me. Master Lin is a skilled person, but he still stays in the village. What do I have?" There was nothing. Even if Master Lin had his own skills, he could only stay in the countryside. Why? It was because this skill could only be used as a construction worker in the city. The carpenter could only stay in the village. If they went to the city, they would have to buy everything. Once there was no work to do, they would starve to death. "I studied in town and could tell that the skills of the rural people can only be obtained through part-time labor. It's fine if they meet a good boss, but if they meet a heartless boss, they will immediately take the money and run away once the project is over. Those workers really want to die.”
Master Lin let out a long sigh." Yes, I met one last year. He worked for half a year and still hasn't received a single cent. Our line of work is different from other industries. After we finish the work, we still have to wait for the acceptance results. After the acceptance, we still have to wait for the boss to get the money from the party before sending it to us. "In the end, we don't know if our boss paid us, but he ran away. I heard from some of the workers that the money from Party A was paid to our boss, while others said that Party A did not pay our boss at all. No one knew what was going on. At the end of the year, after waiting for a few days, we were very hopeless and could only pack up and come back. Since the beginning of the year, I've received many calls from my coworkers. They all said that they couldn't find their boss and had no idea where that son of a b * tch had gone.”
The three of them had a lot of strength, and with Mou Lin, the village chief, and the Hercules in Master Lin's eyes, they worked especially fast. Especially after three rounds of stacking, the movement of the stones below became even faster. At this time, he only needed to place the stones directly where Master Lin had smeared the cement.
At this time, Master Lin was standing in the well, holding the stone firmly. The village chief and Mou Lin gently lowered the stone. It was just that this would definitely make the person carrying the stone feel a little uncomfortable. Because he had to squat, his waist had to be arched. However, this would allow Master Lin to build the wall much faster, so the two of them did not say anything. It didn't take too long from squatting down to getting up. It was only ten seconds longer than usual.
Finally, the ground was leveled. Master Lin looked at Mou Lin." Have you thought about what kind of well you want to make? If we follow the usual method, then this will do. If we want to make other shapes, then we will use more strength and add a lid on it. However, that lid is a little heavy, and it's a little difficult to find it here.”
Mou Lin took a look. It was indeed a bit difficult, not because of anything else, but because of the well cover. There was no thinner and wider slate in the pile of stones. "Master Lin, how about this? We'll build the two wells in the village at the foot of the mountain. First, we'll build the stones on the three sides. In a few days, I'll get one or two thinner stone slabs from the forest. I can cover the stone slab by myself. A stone slab is only about 100 catties. I'll think of a way to get it back and cover it again.”
