Liu Qingshan tilted his buttocks, sat on a big rock, and said helplessly: "You can't say that." Just now, when Mom called my dad to cut bamboo, there was a fight. After that, every year when the fence is changed, you all have to quarrel, otherwise according to my father's style of being lazy and lazy, I don't think he will be conscious. ”

Her son's words made Wu Cuimei frown: "Then what do you say?"

Liu Qingshan glanced at the pigsty not far away and said with a smile: "You see, the pigsty has been piled up for decades, and the old mansion has been down for so long, but there is nothing wrong with the pigsty." ”

"What do you mean, should our vegetable garden also be built with stones?" Wu Cuimei asked with a smile.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, it should be surrounded by stones, so that it can be done once and for all." ”

Wu Cuimei and Liu Yuanhe glanced at each other, laughed twice, and didn't pay attention to the stupid son.

Seeing this, Liu Qingshan became anxious: "Isn't what I said wrong? Isn't it better to build a vegetable garden with stones than to use a bamboo fence?"

Liu Yuanhe smiled and said, "What about your method, it's good, but let me ask you, where did you get so many stones?"

It's-

I didn't really think about it just now.

"If you say you're going to buy it, it's going to cost a lot of money. Liu Yuanhe continued to laugh, "If you don't buy it, then you can only go to the river to pick it up yourself." ”

"That's right, go to the river to pick it up!" Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, "This is a good way." ”

"What a ghost. When you get the stones back, it's going to be next year. After Liu Yuanhe sharpened the head of the last cedar tree, he threw it on the ground and said angrily, "Don't know that you want to think of something out of tune all day long, go home and get a lighter and pine blocks." ”

Liu Qingshan shook his head, feeling helpless. My method of building a fence out of stones is obviously better than making a fence out of bamboo and wood, but no one can understand it.

Moreover, the stone not only has a strong service life, but also can carry the wind and rain, and if you plant some climbing vine plants on the outside, such as golden cherry blossoms with large thorns, it can also prevent wild boars.

Alas, people are really short-sighted, and they don't have any foresight at all. Liu Qingshan sighed, returned home, and brought a lighter and pine blocks.

When Dad took these two things, he immediately lit the bark that had just been cut from the cedar tree, and then took the sharpened wood one by one, and put the pointed end into the fire.

Seeing this, Liu Qingshan was anxious: "Dad, you're crazy, what are you burning them for? Burn them, what are you going to do with the fence?"

Liu Yuanhe rolled his eyes and looked at his stupid son: "What do you know, this wood is easy to break when it is directly driven into the ground, so after it is burned, it can be used for many years." ”

What kind of principle is this? Liu Qingshan didn't believe it: "It's all burned out, how can it be used for many years?"

"So, this is the consequence of your poor work and study in the first place, and you don't even understand such a simple truth. ”

"What does this have to do with whether I use my studies or not?" Liu Qingshan was not convinced, "Then tell me why." ”

"Isn't that simple? This wood is driven directly into the ground, and it is easy to be bitten by ants and insects, so it must be easy to rot. However, if I burn the surface of it into charcoal, then it will not be easily eaten by ants and insects, and it will naturally not be easy to rot. I don't understand such a simple truth, I really don't know where you went when you first studied. ”

The chemical properties of charcoal are stable, and scorching the wood buried in the ground is equivalent to carbonizing the surface of the wood, so that the wood is not easy to rot, and at the same time, it can also prevent termites and other pests from gnawing, so that the service life of the wood can be greatly improved.

Liu Qingshan's brain was used to take the entrance examination to Peking University, where would he understand these things.

So when Dad said it, he could only pretend that I knew it and didn't bother to argue with you: "Of course I know this, I just want to test you." ”

"Hehe, don't test your dad. Wu Cuimei saw her son's hard mouth and said with a smile, "You go find some water pipes, no matter how long or short, the more the better." ”

"What do you want water pipes for?"

"I thought that when the weather was dry, it would be quicker and easier to pour vegetables directly with a hose than with a spoon. You go and see if you can find the pipes. ”

"Where to find it? ”

"Oh, why are you so stupid? In the past, the people in the village used to fill water from the valley above our house, but now they have moved to other villages, even if some of the water pipes are removed, then there must be some that have not been removed, you go and find it, see if you can find some." Anyway, you can't help here, and you have to distract your dad. If it goes on like this, don't even think about calling it a day when it's dark. ”

Well, it's disgusting that I'm in the way!

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!

Liu Qingshan walked all the way up the stream, bypassing the big stone slabs, walking through the ravines, passing through the terraces that the second grandfather had changed to his home, and all the way to a place where small trees were overgrown.

The end of this place is connected to the terrace given by the second grandfather's house, and the upper left is connected to the mountain land of other people's houses, and if Liu Qingshan passes through this small arbor forest and reaches the front of the small arbor forest, he will reach another mountain area of their house.

After Liu Qingshan got into the small arbor forest, he found a lot of water pipes in this small forest.

Because this small arbor forest is close to a creek and the soil is relatively moist, most people are reluctant to walk in, so the water pipes here are left.

Moreover, the trees in this small grove were not tall or tall, but they were so crowded that when one walked in, one could not stand up completely straight, but could only bend over and walk through them.

Liu Qingshan bent down and walked in the small arbor forest for a while, and picked up a lot of water pipes. However, these water pipes are not long, so Liu Qingshan continued to move forward, wanting to see if there would be longer water pipes in the mountains.

After the cat walked through the wet little tree, it came to another mountain in front of the small tree.

The area of this mountainous land is larger than the small arbor forest and the terraced land of the second grandfather's house combined. In addition, the mountain area is full of cedar trees that have grown into maturity.

This place belongs to Liu Qingshan's family, and the cedar tree naturally belongs to Liu Qingshan's family.

According to my father, this cedar forest was reserved for his daughter-in-law. When he has a partner, he will sell this cedar forest, and then give him a wedding as a bride price.

Don't look at these cedar trees are not a precious species, but if they grow to a certain size, they are still a little valuable, and a tree can be sold for at least a few thousand dollars.

However, in general, there are few cedar trees that are that large. Often, the fir trees have just reached maturity, and the mountain people are eager to sell them and plant new cedar saplings.

Looking at this cedar forest, Liu Qingshan suddenly felt that his father might not be such a lazy person.

Along the junction of the cedar forest and the creek, I went upstream, and after a while, I came to the tea woodland where Liu Qingshan's house was located in the mountain col. This tea woodland is located at the junction of the east mountain in front of the courtyard and the north mountain behind the courtyard, and the terrain is flat.

However, because this is a mountain col, there is a cedar forest in front to shade the sun, and a gable wall in the back to block the light, so it is definitely not possible to grow crops such as peanuts and corn. In addition, there are many thieves in this mountain, so they can only grow tea.

On the mountainside to the east opposite this tea woodland, there is also a terraced land that is also owned by Liu Qingshan's family. The terraced land is about an acre in size, and it is all planted with tea.......

Looking at it this way, it seems that he is really a landlord.
