"Hmph, Liu Qingshan, you can think about it. Seeing that Liu Qingshan was leaving, Liu Daliang said coldly, "If there is no land for me, your road will not be repaired." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you better think about how to sell your family's land for 300,000 yuan. After that, Liu Qingshan walked out without looking back.

Liu Daliang shouted at his back: "Liu Qingshan, you will regret it." ”

Liu Qingshan smiled, but left without looking back.

When he was far away, the second grandfather scolded: "Da Liang, was your brain kicked by a donkey? 300,000 yuan? Don't say that Qingshan is still his own person, even if he is someone else, you can't shout such a high price. Do you want others to think that our family is all people who see money and profit and forget righteousness? Why does Qingshan usually treat your three children, don't you have eyes?"

"What did he do to the three children, that's his business, what does it have to do with me?" Liu Daliang was already quite unhappy because Liu Qingshan left, and now that his father still counted him, he was even more unhappy.

He scolded back, "Then Liu Qingshan is you, you just protect him like this, why am I your son?" ”

"I don't have a son like you. The second grandfather said angrily, "I really regret that I didn't shoot you on the sheets back then." ”

"Heh, do you regret it?" Liu Daliang scolded, "I regret it now? In the future, there will be more times when you regret it, if you have so many mouths and are so cheap, you will really regret it when I don't like you with my children in the future." ”

In a word, he poked at the weakness of the second grandfather.

The second grandfather covered his face in pain, and his heart was miserable.

How did he give birth to such a bastard son?

When Liu Qingshan returned home, he told his parents what happened at his second grandfather's house.

Knowing that Liu Daliang actually asked for 300,000 yuan, Liu Yuanhe couldn't help but scold: "Liu Daliang is really stinky and shameless, so much land actually asks for 300,000?"

"So much money, how can our family have so much money. Wu Cuimei said worriedly, "In this way, the road cannot be repaired." ”

"Even if you have so much money, you can't give it to him. Liu Qingshan said, "My money is not blown by the wind, it is impossible for him to give as much as he wants, anyway, I also made it very clear, I want 300,000 yuan, but there is no door." ”

"Yes, if you don't give it to him, it's a big deal not to build roads. Liu Yuanhe said angrily, "I don't believe it, can't you go if you don't build roads?"

"That's not what I said. Liu Qingshan pondered, "Although the land is gone, the road still needs to be repaired." ”

"How can you repair the land without his family?" Wu Cuimei asked, "You can't still shrink the river." ”

Liu Qingshan frowned and said: "Originally, I thought that digging the ground and building roads would be fast and low-cost, but if this method doesn't work now, we can only change the method and widen the waterway without compressing it." ”

"Widening the waterway?" both of them were a little confused.

Originally, the waterway of the creek had been compressed many times because of the construction of the road, and the river overflowed to the shore during the flood for several years. If you want to build the road again, if you can't widen it to the inside of the ramp, you can only widen it to the side of the waterway.

However, the waterway of the river was indeed small enough that it really could not be shrunk any longer.

Therefore, Qingshan's words made the two of them unable to understand for a while.

Liu Qingshan explained: "If you can't dig the ground, then dig the mountain, and ask an excavator to dig the mountain." Widen the river to the east and then sell some large cement pipes to put it down, so that the pavement of the ramp can be widened without compressing the waterway. ”

"But it's too big. Hearing his son's idea, although Liu Yuanhe thought it was good, he also knew that this was a big project, and it was much more complicated than the original digging and road construction.

"I can't help it. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "Instead of spending 300,000 yuan to buy a piece of land, it is better to take tens of thousands of yuan to hire someone to build the road." ”

"Yes. Liu Yuanhe nodded, "It's only one or two thousand yuan a day to hire an excavator, and it doesn't cost much to buy some cement pipes, although the project is bigger and the money is more, but it's better than looking at Liu Daliang's bastard face." Qingshan, Dad supports you, if you don't have money, you can open your mouth, and I'll help you borrow it. ”

"Oh, tens of thousands of dollars, what to borrow. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "I have money, I don't need you to borrow it, but these days, I'm afraid you have to help do some work together." ”

"No problem. Liu Yuanhe patted his chest and said, "Your father and I don't have great skills, but it's okay to do rough work." ”

Seeing that the father and son discussed so well, Wu Cuimei knew that the current problem had been solved, and her brows were stretched.

"Wait a minute. Wu Cuimei suddenly remembered a question, "The mountains on the other side of the river are not our family." ”

These words suddenly stunned the originally happy father and son.

Yes, the mountains on the other side of the river also have owners.

If it is the kind of large stone slab that has no owner on the other side of the yard, it can be occupied at will, but the mountain on the other side of the ramp where the road is to be built is not a large stone slab, but a real mountain land.

Since it is a mountainous area, and it is a mountainous area on the edge of the village, it naturally has an owner.

"Whose mountain land does it belong to?" Liu Qingshan asked.

Liu Yuanhe: "Lu Weidong's." ”

Since it is Lu Weidong's mountainous land, it is easy to do.

Early in the morning, Liu Qingshan drove to the outer village and went straight to Lu Weidong's house.

Seeing Liu Qingshan's visit early in the morning, Lu Weidong thought something was wrong, and when he learned that Qingshan was going to beg for land to build a road, Lu Weidong waved his hand and laughed: "Oh, isn't it just a little mountain, if you want to build a road, you just dig it directly, what are you doing with all this?"

"Haha, I can't take advantage of you for nothing. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "Uncle Weidong, my family has a half-acre wide paddy field here in the outer village, and this field has a high annual yield, I will exchange this field for your family's mountain land, do you think it's okay?"

Mountains are even less valuable, and if they are levied, they will only cost more than a dozen yuan per square meter.

A piece of mountainous land of several hundred square meters is only a few thousand yuan.

However, the mountainous land of Lu Weidong's family is still relatively large, about one or two acres of land. However, because it is a terrace and it happens to be back to the sun, the value is not very high.

Liu Qingshan's willingness to exchange half an acre of fertile land for his family's mountain land is completely for Lu Weidong's sake.

Lu Weidong was also surprised and happy when he heard this, and said with a joy on his face that he couldn't hide: "Qingshan, hehe, this, this is not appropriate, in this way, I have taken advantage of you." ”

"Hey, what are we talking about between us?" Liu Qingshan said, "As long as you are willing to exchange land for me, I am already very grateful to you, and we don't need to say anything else." ”

"Okay. Lu Weidong was also refreshed, "Since this is the case, then let's write clearly and clearly in black and white, so as not to have a dispute of words in future generations." ”

"You have to have it. Liu Qingshan couldn't ask for it.

The two found a pen and paper, and called the village chief, and under the witness of the village chief, wrote down the exchange contract of cultivated land and mountainous land, and all three of them signed their names and pressed their handprints, in triplicate, each of them held a copy, and handed over to the village chief for archiving.

After the matter was done, Liu Qingshan drove to the town to find the excavator master with a spring face, and then returned to the old village with a large truck carrying the excavator.

The excavator master was a middle-aged man, a little fat, but he looked honest.

Liu Qingshan stood in the middle of the ramp, pointed to the mountains on the other side of the river and said, "Master, you see, this is this land, digging from this place all the way to the flat ground below. ”

"How wide is the dig?" asked the master.

Liu Qingshan thought about it, there is a lot of water in the mountain every rainy season, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is naturally as big as possible, so he said: "Dig two meters into it." When the time comes, I will go down two cement pipes with a diameter of one meter side by side. ”

"Okay. After the excavator master agreed, he began to work.

Liu Qingshan looked at the diggers, and the sulk that had been suppressed for a few days in his heart also vomited.

Looking back at the wall of saxifrage, I felt a little more relieved and moved in my heart.

If Liu Daliang agreed to his request to change land, then this wall of saxifrage would not be able to be saved.

Now, Liu Daliang refused, which seems to be a good thing. In this way, the wall of saxifrage can be saved.

Spring is bright, the breeze is warm, and the saxifrage is quietly in full bloom.

They were born diagonally on that stone wall, swaying their slender flower pillars against the wind and the sun, shaking the many tiny flowers at the top of the flower pillars.

Although they are not stunning, in the vulgar world, competing for spring with the size of a grain of rice is also a kind of good.

I don't know if it has been praised in the Book of Songs, anyway, there is it in the Compendium of Materia Medica. Shi Zhen said: "Tiger ears are born in damp places, and people are also planted on stone mountains." The stem is five or six inches high, with fine hairs, one stem and one leaf, like a lotus cap. People call it stone lotus leaves. The leaves are as big as money, resembling a newborn sunflower leaf and a tiger's ear. Small flowers bloom in summer, pale red. ”

It is called saxifrage precisely because its leaves resemble the ears of a tiger.

The full little ears are also eavesdropping on everything in the spring breeze.

Liu Qingshan looked at them for a long time, as if he heard the subtle sound of them trying harder and harder to pull their stems and leaves to creep and reproduce because they had survived.

Then, I couldn't help but think of my grandfather, remembering that I didn't know saxifrage when I was a child, but now I am relieved and moved because I keep a wall of saxifrage.

Haha, perhaps, this is the charm of plants.

The excavator master stayed here to work, Liu Yuanhe was in charge of supervision, and Liu Qingshan went to the town to buy some cement pipes.

These tubes are about a meter in diameter and have been bought quite a bit.

After the boss who sells cement pipes is transported to the old village, the excavator slowly lifts the car off and places it on the flat ground first.

Looking at the cement pipes piled up on the flat ground, Liu Yuanhe asked: "Qingshan, how much do you get for so many cement pipes?"

Liu Qingshan said with a smile while stuffing stones under the cement pipe to jam the cement pipe: "Dad, don't worry about money, it didn't cost much, in short, this road is repaired, and it won't take 30,000 yuan, so you can relax." ”

Although his son said it very easily, Liu Yuanhe was still very distressed when he heard it: "30,000 yuan is not a lot, in our village, many people save money for a year, but they can't save 30,000 yuan." ”

"Dad, don't feel distressed. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "Think about it, what is this money compared to the 300,000 yuan that Liu Daliang opened his mouth widely?"

Liu Yuanhe nodded: "Well, although that's right, but you buy too many cement pipes, if you buy half less, you will definitely save a lot of money." ”

"You can't save this kind of money. Liu Qingshan said, "If I put a double row of cement pipes down, then no matter how big the flood is, there is no need to be afraid, if only one row is placed, it is estimated that it will be a little troublesome." ”

Liu Yuanhe thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same reason. Some money needs to be saved, but some money cannot be saved.

The excavator also gets to work very fast. The excavator is responsible for digging the soil, and Liu Qingshan and his father are responsible for manpower to carry the cement pipe.

Ordinary people may not be able to lift such a large cement pipe even if four people come, but Liu Qingshan made a move, and the situation was different.

He exerted a lot of effort to put the weight on his side, and then his father's head would look light.

Liu Yuanhe carried the cement pipe and wondered: "Why is this cement pipe so light?

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about this and that, the boss of the family has said that if this cement pipe is broken within ten years, the original price will be compensated, don't worry." ”

"Oh. Liu Yuanhe didn't think much about it, and followed his son to put the cement pipe.

After the cement pipe is lowered into the river, the two are side by side, which just perfectly connects the ramp and the gable, blocking the river tightly. In this way, the water flows through the cement pipe.

Seeing this, the excavator master filled all the yellow mud dug from the gable wall onto the cement pipe. In this way, the newly dug soil can be considered to have a way out. When he had dug a long enough channel, the father and son put down two more cement pipes, and the excavator master filled in the newly dug earth.

This repeated operation is very efficient.

At the end of the day, although I haven't fully dug it yet, I have done a lot of work.

The excavator master left after dinner at Liu Qingshan's house.

Before leaving, Liu Qingshan explained: "Master, be early tomorrow, and strive to dig it in one day tomorrow." ”

"Okay. The excavator master said, "Tomorrow morning, I will come before dawn." ”

Early the next morning, the excavator master really came early.

However, not long after he started work, he was stopped.

The person who stopped was not Liu Qingshan or Liu Qingshan's father, but a strange man.

The excavator master asked loudly: "What are you doing? What do you have to tell Liu Qingshan, he invited me to dig." ”

The man said: "Then don't dig it yet, and you will dig it when I find Liu Qingshan." ”

The excavator master was a little depressed, what is this called, Lao Tzu came to work early in the morning, but was stopped again.

Liu Qingshan had just eaten breakfast and was about to come down to work, but he met a rare guest.

It's a rare guest.
