- After not paying much attention to her life for nearly half a year, Liu Junhao discovered that his wife had a somewhat irritable temper. She would do anything for three minutes and once the novelty wore off, he would immediately turn his attention to other things.
Take silkworm raising as an example. She was very interested in it at first, but after she sneezed and knocked over the matchbox, she never served him again. She only stepped aside to give instructions to the layman when Liu Junhao was feeding him.
A few days ago, Zhang Qian became interested in the tadpoles that had just emerged. She threw egg yolks into them every day when she had nothing to do. If Liu Junhao hadn't been watching, she would have thrown six or seven eggs in half a day. It is said online that newly born tadpoles eat mosquito larvae in natural environments.
But the water quality in my backyard is good, and there are generally no mosquitoes, so where are the larvae? Even if there are any, they will be wiped out by eel seedlings. Therefore, Liu Junhao followed the previous method of raising koi seedlings and fed them directly with egg whites. At any rate, those tadpoles were very adaptable and never expressed any objection. In fact, even if they objected, Liu Junhao would not understand.
These tadpoles grow very quickly under the moisture of the spring water. In less than a week, they are already as big as the belly of a little finger. A large piece of black was swimming around in the window screen, like an overturned inkstone, which looked quite pleasant.
There are greedy eels who want to come over to hunt, but there is a window screen blocking them, so they can only stare. Some impatient ones even sneaked ashore, hoping for a side attack. Liu Junhao had already considered this situation, so he raised the window screen nearly 30 to 40 centimeters high from the water, so they could not get in at all.
After "consoling" the tadpoles, Zhang Qian pointed the camera at the swallow's nest under the eaves. Seeing that two old swallows had not come back from pecking at the mud, she secretly stood on a stool and took photos of her unfinished villa.
The pair of swallows settled here just a week ago. At that time, Liu Junhao was very angry. The two guys didn't even look at them. I don't object to you building a nest, but the location must be chosen well. They happened to choose their nest diagonally above the door of the living room, making Liu Junhao cautious every time he came in and out, for fear that swallow droppings would fall on his head if he was not careful.
At first, he wanted to instruct Wukong to knock out the bird's nests and let them change places to build nests. Zhang Qian firmly expressed her opposition, saying bluntly what if they were poked out and they would no longer be in their nest.
"That's better. It saves trouble. There are already enough bird's nests in the courtyard," he muttered secretly.
Of course, in order to fear that the monkey would destroy the bird's nest on its own initiative, Zhang Qian also gave it a profound ideological education.
His wife disagreed, so Liu Junhao could only watch Yanzi build the villa day by day. Recently, he follows his wife's instructions when entering and closing doors, trying to be as gentle as possible so as not to scare the swallows.
In fact, it is a pleasure to watch the living habits of this pair of birds every day. They fly out to press mud and build nests almost every day at dawn. You come and I go, not idle for a minute. On Wednesday, the nest was completely built.
The bird's nest is very similar to a large stoneware bowl. It looks a bit rough on the outside, but it is very comfortable on the inside.
Not two days after the nest was built, a swallow squatted motionless in the nest all day long, quietly incubating eggs. The other swallow was not idle either, bringing grasshoppers, caterpillars, butterflies and other food from outside one after another. The female bird opens her mouth and food is fed into her mouth. The two couples cooperate very well. When the female bird finishes eating, the male bird will secretly land on the wooden basin and bring some of the Tai Sui water up to the female bird to drink.
Finally, the guy carefully groomed the female bird¡¯s feathers with his beak and banged her head to show affection. It really feels like treating each other with respect.
After getting along for a period of time, the pair of swallows completely adapted to the surrounding environment. When he and Zhang Qian usually came in and out, or when they were active in the yard, the birds did not react abnormally.
However, as soon as Wukong and Doudou get close, the swallow nesting in the nest will immediately become nervous, its feathers will be fully spread out, its mouth will be grinned and it will chirp into a ball, completely looking like it is facing a formidable enemy.
Although he was not welcome, Wukong was very interested in the two swallows. When he was free, he would lie on the window and squeak until the swallows became nervous.
This guy just needed a beating. Liu Junhao knocked his brains out a few times before he calmed down. In fact, Wukong didn't really mean to take out the eggs, he just thought it was fun.
When Liu Guangju came over, Liu Junhao¡¯s comfortable life temporarily came to an end. He was asked to dig the foundation, and he heard a few years ago that the village planned to build a hotel. There had been no movement these days, so he thought the plan had failed again.
The sudden start of construction now always feels a bit abrupt.
"You think I don't want to break ground early? It's not just the beginning of spring. Other families in our village are busy with work in the fields. Apart from you, there is no one idle in the village. Many people are nowThe work in the wheat field has been figured out, and now there is time to start work. "
Liu Junhao immediately understood after hearing what he said. Some time ago, the wheat had just jointed, and every household was busy weeding the wheat fields and really couldn't spare any time. However, it seems that there is always work being done in the crop fields in Spring, so I¡¯m afraid there are not all of them here.
"How about working for the village for twenty yuan a day?" Liu Guangju explained the things to note and explained the wages clearly.
"Pay back the wages?" Liu Junhao was a little surprised. He thought that digging the foundation for the village was purely voluntary work, but he didn't expect that he would be paid on a daily basis.
"Of course, I can't let you work in vain." Chun Shang's land rental income is quite good, so Liu Guangju's back straightens. Although there is still a shortfall in the money for renting the land to build the hotel, he is not afraid. Once the hotel is built, the money will come immediately. In nearly a year's work, the gap can definitely be filled.
The day when the construction started happened to be Sunday, and all the naughty kids in the village came to join in the fun.
Before excavation, a long whip was placed, and then everyone broke ground.
Liu Junhao has been resting these days and wants to stretch his muscles. Now that he had the opportunity to work, he was naturally full of energy. He picked up the shovel and kept digging.
I was digging vigorously when I suddenly heard a "click". I thought the shovel had broken, so I hurriedly stopped to check. Unexpectedly, there was nothing wrong with the surface of the shovel, but there was a stream of white slurry coming out of the soil.
"Got it!" The furry boy had sharp eyes and he immediately knew what was in the soil.
Hearing his shout, the children in the village got excited and started digging up the dirt pile one by one. Needless to say, there were quite a lot of cicadas dug up. After a while, everyone picked up seven or eight cicadas.
"Uncle Xiao Hao, hurry up and dig. There are a lot of tree roots here, and there must be a lot of cicadas. Dig more and fry them for lunch." The furry boy was thinking about eating, so he hurried beside him.
This naughty kid knows a lot about cicadas and knows that they live by sucking the sap from tree roots when underground. Liu Junhao dug the soil close to the root of the tree, and indeed he dug out a lot of cicadas. Two or three shovels could probably dig out one.
Several children noticed the abnormality and ran over to pick it up.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
"Xiao Hao, stop quickly." He was digging vigorously when suddenly Liu Guangju rushed to him and called for an emergency stop.
"Uncle Guangju, what's the matter?" Liu Junhao raised his head and wiped the sweat from his head. Now that his body was fully mobile, he dug harder and harder.
"You kid, you just lowered your head to dig the ditch, why didn't you raise your head to look at the line? Where is the slope?" Liu Guangju pointed at the lime line on the ground and shouted angrily and funny.
Sweat He turned around and dug the originally straight foundation ditch into an arc. The layer of lime water line spread on the ground had long been cut off. It's all the fault of the hairy boy. This guy asked him to dig along the roots of the tree. As he dug, he forgot to dig the foundation.
He lifted up the shovel and was about to put the floor on the ground again, but he only used the shovel to shovel it once. Suddenly he felt that the place under the shovel was extremely hard, and he must have dug up a big stone.
"Why are there stones here?" He picked up the soil from the stones with a little curiosity. As soon as a corner of the stone was exposed, Liu Junhao immediately felt something different.
The texture of the stone looks unusual, it seems to be white marble. The stone surface was polished to be quite smooth, and there was something vaguely carved on it. Unfortunately, it was completely covered with soil and it was hard to see what it was.
"Xiao Hao, dig quickly, what are you doing stupidly?" Liu Guangju had just beaten him up, but when he turned around, he found that this man had stopped working.
"Uncle Guangju, come and see, I dug a stone." Liu Junhao squatted down and carefully removed the soil on the stone slab, only to see a traditional Chinese character "Liu" appearing on it.
"What's so strange about stones? There are so many of them underground here" Liu Guangju replied and walked over.
"No, you all come here. There is writing on it. It seems to be a stone tablet!" When more and more writings appeared, he was a little surprised, so his voice was particularly loud.
"What good thing?" He shouted suddenly, and everyone on the construction site heard the noise, dropped their shovels and gathered around.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, kids, don't get in the way here." Liu Guangju saw a large circle of people huffing and puffing around, but he couldn't squeeze in, so he hurriedly shouted.
Hearing his shout, the children reluctantly made way for a gap.
"Oh my god, this is a dragon" Liu Guangju rubbed some more soil off the stone tablet, revealing a vivid dragon head.
"Faucet!" the onlookers exclaimed again.
The news spread quickly, and in a short time, half the villagepeople came running over. After hearing about this strange incident, many tourists came with cameras.
In order to see the true nature of this stone tablet, Liu Guangju decided to dig it out first and then identify it. He called several people to dig carefully, and after more than twenty minutes, the stone tablet was finally dug out of the soil. It must have been buried inside for a long time, and the white marble stele has been covered with a layer of dust, making it look a bit dilapidated.
After being immediately placed on the open space, Liu Guangju got two buckets of water and rinsed it carefully, and then wiped it clean with a rag. Only then did the true face of the stone tablet appear.
"Xiao Hao, what words are written on it?" At this time, Er Mazi asked in a low voice. Many people in the village are literate, but few know traditional Chinese characters. Liu Junhao used to practice calligraphy and copy copybooks, so he had some knowledge of traditional Chinese characters and could barely recognize them.
"The phoenix rises and lands in a treasured land, the Liu family's lineage bears fruit" As soon as he said this sentence, Liu Junhao felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Genealogy, these are the first two sentences on our old Liu's family tree," Old Niutou suddenly shouted loudly from the outside. Hearing his voice, people gave way.
After he said this, Liu Junhao also recalled that he seemed to have heard old people reciting this poem before. Why is this poem engraved on the stone tablet in front of me? Could it be that it is the stone tablet recording the life of our ancestor Liu Erwa?
Liu Junhao read it carefully and found that it was true. The life of Liu Erwa was recorded in detail at the back of the poem. Many things had been told by the old people before.
His classical Chinese writing is half-baked. At any rate, the inscription is not too complicated, and the general meaning can be understood clearly.
"But how could this stone tablet be buried in the village? Liu Junhao was puzzled again. Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Qihua suddenly shouted: "There is another stone tablet here."
Everyone hurriedly turned to look into the foundation, and saw that as he dug with his shovel, another half of the stone tablet appeared under the open space where the white marble tablet had been placed.
"Hurry up and dig up to see what's written on it. Be careful not to break the stone tablet." Liu Guangju waved his hand, and immediately seven or eight more people walked over with shovels.
Things are happening one after another, it¡¯s really overwhelming.
The texture of the second stone tablet was obviously not as good as the first one. After the soil on it was cleaned up, Liu Junhao finally knew the reason why the stone tablet moved.
After all, it was because of floods. During the Jiajing period, the river overflowed and Liujiagou was completely flooded. After the flood, the entire village disappeared, and even the Liu family's ancestral graves were filled with sand. At that time, the stone tablet recording the ancestors of the Liu family was washed up to where it is now buried. Later generations thought it was the ancestor's "instruction" and moved the entire village.
The flood washed away the stone monument, and Liu Junhao thought it was a bit mysterious no matter how he looked at it. It couldn't be that his ancestors deliberately fooled their descendants in order to keep it mysterious.
"Can the flood wash away such a big stone monument?" Liu Qihua was the first to ask the question.
"What's the matter? During the floods in 1958, the mill mill in the middle of our village was washed away for half a mile. Later, the water receded and a few of us carried it back again." Liu Wuye followed.
Listening to him, such a few juniors had no sound, the crushing can be washed away, let alone a small stone monument.
"Take a shovel and dig here. Is there anything else?" Following Liu Guangju's order, all the laborers in the village began to get busy again.
After hundreds of years, Liu Junhao was amazed when he saw his ancestor's stone tablet again. God really had destined all this.
Everyone rummaged through the land several times, but found nothing else. But these two stone tablets are enough. Several old people over there have already discussed building an ancestral hall.
