Hello 1983

  Chapter 232 Moving, moving!

  In the past few days, the villagers in Jiapigou would stroll around Liu Qingshan's new house after dinner and when they had nothing to do.

  After more than a month of busy work, Liu Qingshan's new house was finally completed.

  After the visit, the villagers will click their tongues for a while, and then go home to discuss with their wives or men: In the coming year, our family will also build a new house!

   I have to say that the big house of Liu Qingshan's family is so well built that everyone is greedy.

  The main house has five rooms in a row, with red tiles on the roof, brick walls on all sides, and the large windows on the front are very bright.

  Especially on the front wall, there is also a layer of water-washed stone, which looks extraordinarily beautiful,

  This kind of water brush stone is small turquoise gravel, mixed with cement, applied to the wall, dried a little, and then sprayed to wash off the cement on the surface, finally revealing a layer of beautiful small gravel.

  Some places are also inlaid with glass strips, which are divided into different patterns. Inside the patterns are small stones of different colors to form different shapes.

  This kind of wall technology has long been eliminated after decades, and it is much easier to directly paste tiles. Moreover, tiles can also be spliced ​​to create splendid peony flowers or characters.

  But in the current rural areas, it is already considered the most advanced technology.

  Inside the house, there is no longer a mud wall, but a flat cement wall, which is then painted with white ash, which looks extraordinarily bright.

  The ground is also a terrazzo floor, the principle is similar to that of the wall, except that it needs to be smoothed with a machine. Liu Qingshan wants to lay floor tiles, but unfortunately there is no such thing.

  The traditional southern kang has also become the northern kang, and the pot table is naturally moved to the north, and a back door is opened. Usually, people use this back door to hold firewood and so on. In this way, the house is cleaner.

  Five large houses are distributed in this way: two rooms on the west side belong to the eldest sister and her husband, one bedroom, one living room, and a study room for high literature.

   There is a corridor in the middle, and there are two more rooms on the east side of the corridor, the fourth and fifth occupy one room, and the elder sister Yang Hongying occupies one room.

  If Liu Yinfeng comes back from vacation, she can share a room with Yang Hongying.

   Then there is another corridor, and the one on the east side of the corridor is where Lin Zhi lives.

  According to the current rural customs: the east is big and the west is small, and the elders live in the east.

  After dividing the house, the fourth and fifth children are the happiest. They finally have their own small room.

  But Shan Xing quickly discovered the problem: "Er Niang, my brother doesn't have a place yet?"

"Yes!"

  The little fourth child immediately widened his eyes: "Brother, Shan Xing and I should let you live in the house."

  Liu Qingshan was about to praise her when he heard the youngest four jumped up and cheered: "In that case, Shan Xing and I will live in the big sister's house, the big sister's room is so spacious!"

  Yo, you still want to continue being a little spy.

  Liu Qingshan also burst into laughter: "I live in the old house, brother is not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old."

  Hearing what he said, Shan Xing immediately walked up and hugged Liu Qingshan's arm: "Brother, I want to accompany you at the old house."

  Liu Qingshan touched her little head: "Well, you and the fourth child can sleep on whichever side you want."

  For the old house, Liu Qingshan has the deepest affection, but this is not the reason why he does not live in the new house.

  In his heart, there is another idea: he wants to keep the old village of Jiapigou and those mud houses.

   Maybe you don’t feel much right now, but after a few decades, you won’t be able to find it.

  At that time, you will find that the mud house is still warm and cold, and has more feelings than cold cement bricks.

  Once the tourism industry in Jiapigou develops, tourists will probably have to rush to live in those mud houses: young people live in freshness, old people live in nostalgia.

  So his plan is that in the future, when the villagers build new houses, they will all develop towards the west of the village, and the original old houses will be kept.

  Besides, the house is not afraid of living in it, but afraid of being empty, so Liu Qingshan plans to live in an old house by himself, with simple repairs every year, and it will be no problem to live in for decades.

   "Moving, moving!"

  June 19, 1984, the 20th day of the fifth lunar month, should be moved into the house.

  Early in the morning, the cheers of Xiao Lao Si sounded in the courtyard.

  Liu Qingshan moved the big iron pot for cooking at home, and surrounded by his family, he happily walked to his new residence.

  There is only one ax in the pot. There is a special thing about it, which is called: one good fortune suppresses a hundred evils.

  Most of the things are still in the old house. On the day of moving, it means moving the pot.

   When walking to the courtyard, the fourth child suddenly shouted again: "Wait, wait, there are still people who have moved!"

   It seems that the things I need have been thrown away a few days ago?

  Everyone thinks back, and they don't know what the little brother is going to do.

  I saw the little guy raised his hand and pointed at the eaves: "Our little swallow hasn't moved there yet."

   This is really true!

  However, the newly built brick houses basically have no eaves and cannot shelter from wind and rain. Obviously, swallows will not build their nests there again.

   While everyone was watching, the big swallow came back from hunting food, and inside the bird's nest, it immediately opened several big mouths and screamed.

  Swallows all have yellow mouths, the mouth is wider than the head, the kind where you can really see the throat.

  The big swallow landed on the edge of the nest, stuffed the small flying insect in its beak into the mouth of one of the chicks, and then spread its wings and flew away, while the nest of chicks immediately retracted their necks, and fell silent for a moment.

  Seeing this scene, the family members suddenly feel sad. This old house carries too many memories of them.

   "Oh, the little swallow fell out of the nest!"

  Shan Xing let out another exclamation, it was the other nest, which was newly built in the spring of this year, perhaps because it was a little smaller, and when the swallows inside were fighting for food, one of them was squeezed out of the nest.

  Fortunately, there was still a small basket woven by Liu Yinfeng hanging under the bird’s nest, and the swallow cub rolled into the basket and didn’t fall to the ground.

   This time the two big swallows who were beating the food were panicked, chirping and flying around the basket.

  Soon a large group of swallows came in, all flying and screaming. You know, swallows are a very united bird.

  Liu Qingshan put down the iron pot in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, let's help Yanzi move first."

  Yang Hongying moved a bench, Liu Qingshan stood on it, and gently grabbed the swallow in the basket with his hands.

  This little guy's hair hasn't even grown yet, and many parts of his body are still bare, but it's quite warm to start with.

   Seeing the swallows shouting more joyfully, and two more wanting to pounce on his face, Liu Qingshan hurriedly sent the little swallow back to the bird's nest.

  The flock of swallows whirling and chirping in mid-air soon stopped and dispersed.

  This early in the morning, everyone’s children are waiting to be fed with their mouths wide open.

  Liu Qingshan jumped down from the stool, and pointed to the two big swallows and scolded: "Building a house is a big deal, you can't be careless."

  The family members are also very happy. Their new house is just right.

  Move the iron pot over and install it on the pot stove made of red bricks. The pot platform is the same as the ground, both of which are terrazzo and very smooth.

  This one is much cleaner than the earthen pot table in the old house, and it will not breed annoying cockroaches.

   "Come on, Qingshan, add a fire to the bottom of the pot."

  Grandfather Liu Shikui also said cheerfully.

  The original plan was to live in the easternmost room for grandpa and grandma, but the old couple got used to living in the original house, so they said nothing.

   Anyway, it’s not far away, they’re all next to each other, and it’s very convenient.

  Moving into a new residence, the most important thing is to burn the bottom of the pot, not only to light a fire, but also to set up a few tables when the time comes.

  Liu Qingshan lit a handful of firewood, and then lit up.

  The fourth and fifth children have already been ordered, clapping their little hands and shouting: "Wang, Wang, Wang!"

   As a result, all the big yellow dogs at home were recruited. The one who was poking around the back door was so angry that the fourth brother rushed up and nodded on the dog's head: "Dahuang, I will take care of my new home from now on!"

  Liu Qingshan was busy all morning, arranged several tables of meals, and invited all shopkeepers in the village.

   There was also the dumb grandfather, who was also invited. In addition, Professor Wang and his students, Gu Junshan and his assistants also sat at a large table.

  Liu Qingshan toasted around inside and outside the room, but he didn’t seem to see Zhang Ganzi, so he asked Da Zhang to arrange their table: “Hey, Uncle Ganzi, doesn’t he usually like to join in the fun?”

  The original reason why Zhang Ganzi likes to join in the fun is mainly because he can eat, drink and smoke.

  Da Zhang Luo hehe twice: "Gaozi, you are serving the confinement child."

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help asking in surprise: "Aunt Cuihua gave birth so soon?"

  People at the table roared with laughter, but Marshal Zhang was quite righteous: "Qingshan, don't listen to them burying the pole. It's on the side of the pig farm. There are two litters of old sows. They are too busy to lay lambs together today."

   "Well, then I will save some food and drink for Uncle Ganzi, and one of you will bring it over later."

   Liu Qingshan hurriedly asked someone to prepare an order of wine and food. Uncle Ganzi can do this, which is worthy of approval.

   While he was working, he saw the captain’s aunt running into the yard in a panic: “Don’t urinate on the horse, it’s not good, the pole was hurt by a big wild boar, and there is such a big hole in the calf, it’s bleeding!”

   Now everyone panicked, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and ran to the pig farm in a hurry.

  Dashuai Zhang scolded as he ran: "Damn it, a plague-stricken wild boar dares to come to the village to make fun of it. When I get home and get a knife, I will have to kill it and eat its meat!"

  Liu Qingshan and the mute grandpa rushed to the front, so they came to the pig farm first. From a long distance, they saw a few people surrounded by the pigsty. They rushed over and saw that Zhang Ganzi was sitting on the ground with a pool of blood beside him.

   Fortunately, the injured thigh has been strangled with cloth strips, and the wound is not bleeding much.

   But the calf was cut open by the wild boar's tusks, the skin and flesh are all rolled up, it is really shocking to look at.

   "Hurry up and send it to the health center, Master, please give it a simple treatment first."

  Looking at this posture, Liu Qingshan obviously couldn't deal with it in the village. Such a long wound must be stitched up.

  Mute grandpa carried a small medicine bag with him, and sprinkled some khaki-colored medicinal face on Zhang Ganzi's leg, and the wound soon stopped bleeding.

   Zhang Ganzi grinned his teeth in pain, and kept cursing: "His grandma, when I get better, I have to find a shotgun and crush the **** big wild boar. Hiss, it really hurts!"

   "Uncle Ganzi, why did the wild boar come to our pig farm?"

  Liu Qingshan asked Zhang Ganzi up from the ground while asking.

  Hearing this, Zhang Ganzi became even more furious: "That wild boar suffering from plague jumped into our pigpen and tried to **** the sow, can I bear it?"

As he was talking, he gasped for joy again: "Qingshan, you don't know, that plague pig is much shorter than a sow, it can't ride on it at all, let alone reach it, just keep facing it. The air is so strong that I laugh to death!"

  Laughing and laughing, Zhang Ganzi habitually slapped his thigh, gasping for air from the pain.
