Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 144 Will building roads harm feng shui?

There is a saying that goes well, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move.

In Sun Xiangyang's eyes, the moment Guo Zhen held the scissors, she became confident, completely different from the previous reserved and nervous person.

After pondering for a moment, she saw Guo Zhen gently folding the paper skillfully and started to cut it, then opened it, folded it again, and cut it again. As she moved, more and more debris fell under her feet. At the same time, the red paper The pattern on it gradually became clearer.

It was a little donkey, with a woman wearing a headscarf riding on it. Behind the woman, there was a little boy of seven or eight years old, holding tightly to his mother in front of him.

In the woman's arms, she held a little girl.

The three of them rode on the little donkey and walked forward happily.

Although this paper-cut painting is simple, it is far from comparable to the one left by Sun Xiangyang before, but sometimes the simpler the thing, the more skillful it is.

Half an hour later, when Guo Zhen put down the scissors, spread the paper-cut painting flat on a piece of white paper, and gently pulled it, the paper-cut painting seemed to come alive. The little donkey ticked and walked, and the three people above laughed happily. It's like stepping off the paper.

Seeing this scene, Sun Xiangyang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Originally, he thought that only those paper-cut paintings with stories could be called real paper-cut paintings.

But as Guo Zhen took action, he realized that he was wrong.

The quality of the paper-cut painting sometimes has nothing to do with the size. The key lies in the level of the paper-cut painting.

If someone else had cut it like this, it might have looked dull, but when the other person cut it, it seemed to have come to life and made a difference.

Even though this paper-cut painting is a bit small, Sun Xiangyang has no doubt that it will attract attention even if it is sold in the Friendship Store.

The opponent's level is undoubtedly a true master level.

Sun Xiangyang immediately felt like he had found a treasure.

"Is it okay?"

Guo Zhen asked with her anxious look again, as if she was afraid that Sun Xiangyang would say he was unqualified.

"It's not just good, it's really good. Aunt Guo, for your level, the previous price was too low. Your paper-cut paintings should be in a separate column."

Sun Xiangyang couldn't help but said.

"As long as you are satisfied with it. This kind of small painting is just for fun, and it is not a real paper-cut painting. I will spend some time later and cut out a larger one."

Guo Zhen was relieved.

In her eyes, this kind of half-an-hour finished product is really nothing. If the requirements were all like this, then she could cut twenty pieces a day.

Even if it costs 30 cents a piece, it still costs 6 yuan.

One month is one hundred and eighty.

Then, she put aside this unrealistic idea. Since someone was willing to spend so much money to acquire it, they definitely couldn't want such a small painting and couldn't take it out.

"Aunt Guo, can you give me this paper-cut painting? It will also be included in your works."

Sun Xiangyang really likes this painting. It's like Qi Baishi's Shrimp. With just a few strokes, how can you say it's not a masterpiece, and then deny the value contained in it because of its simplicity?

"If you like it, I can help you cut more later. No need to worry about money."

Guo Zhen quickly declined.

It's just something done casually, how can it be counted as someone else's money?

"That's it. In addition, I have a merciless request. I hope Aunt Guo can help guide us in Shuangshui Bay. As long as we can achieve 20 to 30% of your level."

Sun Xiangyang said.

"No problem. The main thing about paper-cutting is practice, and it's not a secret that is not passed down. As long as someone is willing to learn it, I will definitely not hide it."

Guo Zhen thought it was an unkind invitation, but after hearing what Sun Xiangyang said, she immediately agreed.

Then, Sun Xiangyang looked at the smiling old Party Secretary beside him and said, "Old Party Secretary, I remember that there is an empty cave dwelling over there in the brigade, right? I'll find someone to clean it out and make a stove for Aunt Guo to live in."

And it’s spacious there, so you can learn paper-cutting there in the future. Next year we will set up a special place and it will be our Shuangshuiwan Paper-cutting Center. "

"It's easy to say. I'll arrange for people to clean it up over there later, as well as your Aunt Guo's side. I'll entertain you as a distinguished guest of our Shuangshui Bay."

The old branch secretary nodded.

In his eyes, this is a small matter.

And this is also a good opportunity to win over the other party, so that the other party can fully appreciate Shuangshuiwan's enthusiasm and hope that the other party will stay in Shuangshuiwan in the future and completely become a Shuangshuiwan person.

After listening to the two people's words, Guo Zhen knew that she had passed the test. She couldn't help showing joy on her face, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she really needs this 'job'.

Now there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year. As long as she is willing to work overtime and cut more, the family will have enough money to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The three of them will not be like in previous years, huddled in a drafty cave dwelling, eating cold and cold food. The pit of teeth.

"By the way, who else is in Aunt Guo's family?"

Seeing Guo Zhen's appearance, Sun Xiangyang's heart moved.

"I also have a son and a daughter. The son is over 20 years old and has no work to do in the team at the moment. He can only stay at home. The daughter is 16 years old and the same is true."

Guo Zhen hesitated, then told the truth.

"Aunt Guo, otherwise, we are digging coal in Shuangshuiwan right now. If you don't mind it, why don't you let your son come and work with us? Although the coal mine is a bit tiring, I guarantee that the work points he gets are the same as ours. It's the same, and the stoves here can be used for burning, so they don't have to cook in winter, and the food supply is normal.

You won’t be able to eat white noodles, but you don’t have to worry about going hungry.

And your daughter, if she knows how to cut paper, can come with you, and the price will be the same as yours, so your family of three doesn’t have to be separated. "

After seeing Guo Zhen's skill, Sun Xiangyang was obviously more tempted, and wanted to keep Guo Zhen in Shuangshui Bay. Only in this way can the paper-cut paintings produced in Shuangshui Bay be competitive in the future.

As for adding someone to the coal mine, it was a matter of just one word from him. Not to mention that you had to work in the coal mine. He would be happy to support one more person regardless of Guo Zhen's worth.

Even after everything gets on track next year, Sun Xiangyang plans to officially make the coal mine independent and pay according to wages. The more you work, the more you will get. Only in this way can everyone be motivated.

Anyway, it’s not too late to distribute land to households, and the existence of production teams is also entering the countdown.

It is also necessary to arrange in advance.

Hearing Sun Xiangyang's words, Guo Zhen's eyes suddenly widened, her face was full of disbelief, her lips were trembling, and she was too excited to speak.

"Yes, would it be inappropriate?"

At this moment, Guo Zhen clenched her hands tightly together, even more nervous than at the beginning.

"There's nothing inappropriate. As for over there, just let the old party secretary say hello, right, old party secretary?"

"Yes, it's just a matter of words. I will go there in person tomorrow and bring him here."

The old party secretary tried his best to cooperate with Sun Xiangyang.

Whether it's adding people to the coal mine or something else, it doesn't matter to him.

As long as it is for the development of Shuangshui Bay, even if he is asked to carry it, he has to carry it back.

"Thank you, thank you. Don't worry, I will cut the paper well. It doesn't cost anything."

Although Guo Zhen is a woman, she still feels like a scholar would die for a confidant. She only wants to repay Sun Xiangyang and Shuangshuiwan.

"It's definitely not possible without money. You deserve this. Aunt Guo has traveled such a long way and just cut paper. Are you tired? You should have a good rest first and we will talk about the paper cutting later."

After Sun Xiangyang finished speaking, he left with the other party thanking him profusely, and the old party secretary also followed him out.

"Really want to stay?" "Yes, in my opinion, the other party's paper-cutting skills are definitely master-level. We need such a person in Shuangshuiwan. Only in this way can we ensure our competitiveness in the future. It is best to be in the field of exporting foreign exchange." Is it difficult to move the other party's household registration here before the news is announced?"

Sun Xiangyang asked after thinking for a while.

Since you have decided to keep the other party, let’s do the most direct thing.

He had previously helped the other party's son arrange work, and asked the other party to bring his daughter over, so this was his idea.

"What's so difficult about this? As long as her son finds a partner here and marries us in Shuangshuiwan, she and her daughter can move in at will. However, there is no rush to find a partner. Both parties must be willing.

In this case, I will take a bottle of wine over there tomorrow and keep it for you. "

The old branch secretary said with a pained face.

The wine he was talking about was naturally the Maotai wine that Sun Xiangyang gave him when he returned from the capital.

He was reluctant to drink it himself, but now he wanted to take advantage of outsiders.

"Wine is easy to talk about. I'll get some for you later."

Sun Xiangyang said cheerfully.

Isn’t it just two bottles of wine?

No matter how much wine you drink, as long as you can keep Guo Zhen, it's worth it.

"This is what you said, I remember it."

Naturally, the old party secretary would not let go of this opportunity and bit him to death. Then he put his hands behind his back and left proudly.

Judging from the direction he was going, it was obvious that he was going to the brigade office. He was obviously planning to arrange for Guo Zhen to live there so that he could have a place to stay here.

Watching the old party secretary go away, just as Sun Xiangyang was about to go home, he saw the team leader Sun Enguo striding towards him.

Sun Enguo has also been very busy in recent days.

Because he was responsible for building the road. Previously, he was exploring the location, which way is more convenient, and which way is more suitable for building the road. All these must be clarified before we can start.

So these days, he is actually not in Shuangshui Bay. Now that he is back, the result is probably already there.

"Xiang Yang, are you busy?"

After getting closer, Sun Enguo asked directly.

In fact, Sun Xiangyang is the most idle person in Shuangshui Bay now. With Sun Enguang, the deputy captain of the third team, at the coal mine, he doesn't need to worry at all.

He just walked around occasionally and watched the amount of coal accumulated in the cleared space gradually increase.

As for the house problem he mentioned earlier, it only took one day to add a layer of stones and wooden boards on the outside, and fill it with soil in the middle to make the house warmer.

However, even if he was idle all day, no one thought there was anything wrong.

In other words, as long as they can see Sun Xiangyang 'hanging out', everyone will feel inexplicably at ease.

If he is too busy and disappears one day, everyone will be worried.

"Captain, should I say busy or not busy?"

Sun Xiangyang couldn't help but said.

Whether he is busy or not, the other party knows best.

Hearing his words, Sun Enguo didn't care, he just smiled and said: "The road outside has been planned and divided into sections. Starting tomorrow, the rest of the production team will start building the road.

But we still need your help to check this section of Shuangshui Bay. "

"This way?"

Sun Xiangyang thought for a while.

"Sheli means to go directly from the coal mine, bypass the ditches on both sides, and go directly through it, right?"

"Yes, the people from the community planned it this way, so that the distance is the shortest and it is convenient to transport coal. However, I heard that the road next to the village cannot be repaired casually, otherwise it will ruin the feng shui, so you have to come. Make up your mind, we will repair it how you say, it doesn’t matter if it’s a long way or a detour.”

Sun Enguo said simply.

In fact, he didn't really believe in this stuff before.

But he believed in Sun Xiangyang.

And the facts have proved that everything Sun Xiangyang said is not wrong.

Especially the dragon-suppressing stone placed in the old party secretary's home, he would sometimes secretly burn incense sticks.

In the words of the old party secretary, as long as the incense is maintained, Shuangshuiwan's luck will get better and better.

As the captain of Shuangshuiwan, he must show an attitude.

Not to mention, after worshiping for a while, Sun Enguo also clearly felt that Shuangshuiwan seemed to be getting better every day.

In this way, his worship became even more vigorous.

However, this matter is currently only his and the old branch secretary's responsibility, and it has not been spread.

Because of this, he didn't dare to be careless when it came to Shuangshui Bay's Feng Shui, so he simply asked Sun Xiangyang to take action.

"Building roads will ruin Feng Shui? Who did you listen to?"

Sun Xiangyang asked curiously.

"Do you still need to listen to what others say? Why don't you pay your respects before breaking ground?

Moreover, I heard that a lot of strange things happened when the county was building the main road more than ten years ago. Later, experts were invited to erect a monument in a certain place, and everything became smoother afterwards.

When we build roads this time, other places are built along the old roads. It doesn’t matter. But according to the company’s plan, the roads leading to the coal mine are all new. I always feel unsure. . "

Sun Enguo looked around, and there was obviously no one around, but he still lowered his voice and said.

"That's it, then I'll go take a look."

When Sun Xiangyang saw that Sun Enguo was determined not to practice even if he didn't look at it, he could only compromise.

At the same time, road construction in Shuangshui Bay is also a major event, which is related to the future development of Shuangshui Bay. If it can be repaired all at once, it will save the need for repairs in the future.

It would be best if this newly built road could be put to perfect use in Shuangshuiwan, instead of just being used to pull coal out.

Another thing, if this road is not repaired well, sometimes things can easily happen.

Sun Xiangyang remembered that he had seen a news on the Internet before. The road built in a certain place was obviously just a very smooth and gentle curve, and the ground was not slippery, but accidents often occurred.

It is said that that bend used to be a cemetery. In order to build a road, the cemetery was moved to the opposite side a hundred meters away.

Later, a channel was dug under the curved road, which was nominally for drainage.

But since then, accidents on that corner have been rare.

Sun Xiangyang didn't know whether it was true or false. He just looked at it casually.

But now, he must take a closer look at the road to Shuangshuiwan. It just so happened that he now felt that the skill of finding dragon acupoints had reached the threshold, and he was still a little short of a breakthrough.

Maybe something can be gained this time.
