....................................

After the stream was diverted, the levee was denied the supply of flowing water, and slowly quieted down, and rows of black stones were revealed.

Of course, these stones are not naturally arranged here, but were built by the villagers of the time a long time ago.

At that time, there was no cement, so the ancestors could only use the shape of the stones to stack these stones tightly in the mosaic method to achieve the effect of storing water and sand. When the sand fills the riverbed and the water level rises, it can provide water to the farmland on the shore.

Therefore, it can be inferred from this that a long time ago, this area should have been farmland. It was only later that the house was expanded as the population increased.

After the stream was diverted, father and son began to clean the river of branches, wood, stones, and aquatic plants.

Busy with all this, the day passed.

By the next day, the two of them had started using sand and cement.

"Dad, I'll just come. Liu Qingshan saw that his father was about to meddle in the matter with cement, so he said, "You go find a few buckets, and then help me pass the cement and stones." ”

The rain was still falling.

In order to prevent the cement slurry from being diluted by the autumn rain, the father and son built a temporary shed with rain adhesive paper early in the morning.

Wu Cuimei saw that the two of them were working so hard, and she also wanted to come out to help, but before she stepped out of the threshold, she was scolded back by the two masters.

"What are you a woman fooling with in our men's business?" Liu Yuanhe said while rummaging through the small mud bucket in the firewood room, "You just stay at home, you can't be idle, you can do hygiene at home, or sew and mend clothes." It's still raining outside, so don't get drenched. ”

"Heh, you've only been drinking pigtail soup for a few days, and you're starting to look down on people just after your waist is getting better? Don't forget, when you have a backache that you die, I still scraped you. Wu Cuimei hummed and returned to the house.

Liu Yuanhe only found two mud buckets: "It's just these two, and it's a little cracked." This is the bucket your mother used to hold the pee, and if it breaks, she'll curse. ”

Liu Qingshan smelled the strong smell of urine in the air, and looked at his father with a black line: "Don't we even have a normal mud bucket at home?" ”

"Our family has never built a cement building, where did we get the mud buckets, just these two, or specially bought to put urine and vegetables for your mother. Liu Yuanhe glanced at the direction of the door and urged, "Don't dislike it, let your mother see it, and you have to be scolded." ”

Liu Qingshan was very helpless, so he had to take the mud bucket that was full of urine and fill it into the cement slurry that had just been reconciled.

Liu Yuanhe was responsible for loading the cement slurry and taking the cement slurry to Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan, on the other hand, walked from the river below to the slope of the water and built another embankment on the outside of the original stone embankment.

The main material is still the stone that can be found everywhere in the river, but this time with more cement slurry bonding, the quality will definitely be much better. Moreover, Liu Qingshan not only built a new embankment, but also filled the gap between the new embankment and the old one with cement slurry as he built the new embankment.

In this way, the twin stone walls will form a powerful embankment.

The length of the embankment is only about two meters, but the height is three or four meters, and the work is slow, so it took the father and son two days to build the embankment.

At dusk the next day, Liu Qingshan stuffed the last remaining bit of cement slurry into the cracks in the stones, and the work was considered complete.

Both father and son washed their hands in the creek, and then stood together on the drizzly bank, looking at the fruits of their labor, and both felt a great sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

Liu Yuanhe said with a smile: "I thought it would be difficult, but now it seems that it is not difficult." ”

"Not really. Liu Qingshan also smiled, "Dad, if you had such an awareness, our family would not be so poor." ”

"Look at you as if you were the only one. Liu Yuanhe sneered and said, "If I hadn't given you an idea, you would have to work for two more days." ”

"Yes, yes, Dad, you're the most amazing, go, kill the chicken and celebrate. ”

"Is this finished?" asked Liu Yuanhe, pointing to the embankment, which is only more than two meters long but about half a meter wide, "Is that enough?

"Hey, what a slab bridge. Liu Qingshan pointed to the uneven embankment like an upside-down rake and said, "Dad, you see, I raise a cement pier every twenty or thirty centimeters, before the yard is not connected to the big stone slab, we can step on these cement piers to cross the river first, anyway, the water will flow through the depression, and it will not wet your shoes, and what kind of flat bridge." ”

"Oh, too. Liu Yuanhe forgot about this stubble. My son said two days ago that when he has money and time in the future, he will connect the yard with the big stone slab, so that it is indeed redundant to get a slab bridge now.

"Okay, go home and kill the chickens. I make a fire, I boil water, you kill chickens, you pluck chicken feathers. Dad said.

Liu Qingshan threw away the tools in his hand, picked up the hoe and ran into the mountains in the drizzle: "No, no, Dad, you make a fire, you boil water, you kill chickens, you pluck chicken feathers." ”

"Hey, I've done all the work, so what are you doing?" Liu Yuanhe shouted at his son's back.

Liu Qingshan turned his head suddenly, the hat on his head almost didn't fall to the ground, he quickly grabbed the hat and smiled at his father: "Haha, I'll go to the mountains to get some chicken brains and make chicken soup at home." ”

"I'm lazy again. Liu Yuanhe scolded helplessly, so he had to go home by himself.

Seeing that her son didn't come back, Wu Cuimei, who had already boiled the water, asked, "Where is your son?"

"Into the mountains. Liu Yuanhe took off the rain tape and said, "This kid will play tricks, saying that he will kill the chicken if I boil water, but he will run away all of a sudden." ”

"What is he doing in the mountains?" Wu Cuimei hurriedly walked to the door and looked towards the mountain, but she couldn't see her son.

"He said he was going to get some chicken brains and come back to make chicken soup. Hurry up and pour water for me, boil another pot of water, and I'll kill the chickens later." ”

Liu Qingshan quickly arrived in the mountains and quickly found the chicken braincase.

The so-called chicken braincase is not the real chicken braincase.

The scientific name of chicken braincase is chicken dizzy, and it is also known as chicken male head, chicken head jujube, chicken old cover, iron wolf chicken, small Guanzhong, etc.

The faint is a fern, so it looks much like its other siblings and distant cousins. Its leaves grow symmetrically on both sides of the petioles, slowly growing from bottom to top, reaching the longest in the middle, and then extending to the tail in a slowly shortened manner.

Although the name of the chicken dizzy head sounds strange, in fact, people are also blindly Chinese herbal medicine. Chicken dizzy head has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and calming wind, dispersing stasis and stopping bleeding, and driving roundworms and tapeworms.

Moreover, if you usually have a little cold, you can also eat it with chicken dizzy soup.

Liu Qingshan grabbed the leaves of the chicken's dizziness, first pulled off the leaves, and then waved the hoe to dig up the roots of the chicken's dizziness.

The roots are not as thick as the rhizomes of other large ferns, but are shorter and smaller, about 5 to 8 cm long and only 3 to 4 cm in diameter. It is shaped like a chicken's head, blackish-brown in color, densely covered with many petiole residues, and has fine, brownish-black curved roots with reddish-brown slightly shiny scales at the tip.
