Chapter 55: The Absurd Bridge Repair (2)
On weekdays, the daughter-in-law always locks the door outside the door when she goes out, and never closes the door when she is at home.
The two of them were in the joy of fish and water, and suddenly heard someone calling the door, and the frightened soul was scattered, and he was suddenly paralyzed on the bed, helpless, Zhao saw the incident in the east window, and did not dare to be slow, dressed and got up, ready to escape. The widow saw that her lover was panicked and wanted to run away, so she grabbed Zhao's arm casually, so that he didn't panic, messed up, got dressed and got up, and hid Zhao under the bed of his son in the west. Then go and open the door for your mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law saw that the door had not been opened for a long time, and she had guessed that her daughter-in-law was stealing, so she followed her to the house to check, but she did not see anything suspicious, so she had to go out of her daughter-in-law's house angrily and hide aside to watch the movement.
sent away the embarrassed and angry mother-in-law, and pulled the trembling Zhao out from under the bed.
Zhao asked her mother-in-law how to deal with it, and the widow said that she was too sleepy to hear it, so she sent her mother-in-law out.
The two felt that their mother-in-law had gone home, and Zhao asked the widow to check outside the door, so that she could go.
When the widow arrived outside the door, she saw that there was no one around, and gestured for Zhao to come out, and Zhao fled from the widow's house in a panic, and was being watched by her mother-in-law hiding in the corner.
The mother-in-law is angry, but if you think about it carefully, as the saying goes: If you catch a thief, you have to be dirty, and if you catch a traitor, you have to do it, and you don't catch your daughter-in-law in bed, so you have to give up and wait for the next time.
Zhao's injuries gradually healed, and he began to work, and the widow's mother-in-law secretly checked for several days, and never found her daughter-in-law closing the door, and her heart gradually calmed down.
For several days, the bridge foundation has been dug up, began the three-in-one filling project, the water conservancy station pulled the white ash to the bridge repair site, the captain sent someone to wash the white ash well, mix the Sanhe soil in proportion, and then put the Sanhe soil into the dug bridge base, and then use a large piece of door stone with a stick, (called ramming in the local area) one person helps the tamping handle, four people scoop the tamping, and smash the Sanhe soil sprinkled into a layer.
This method is repeated many times before the bridge leg heel foundation is firmly laid, and a layer of triple soil is tamped, and it has to be solidified for a few days before the next layer can be carried out.
When waiting for the construction of the next floor, in addition to eating and doing the necessary things, everyone will gather together to play cards.
They play Pai Gow, that is, to the monkey, to the sky, to the earth, to the people, to the goose five good cards, in the sky, the earth, people, the goose in the monkey is the largest, can kill what to kill the long three, the tiger head, the bag, the bench and so on are all matching cards. Before and after the two, there is a head and a tail, when four people come to the card, there is a dealer to push the card, three with the door, but everyone can bet in the three doors, how many people are not limited. If the dealer card is large, you can eat, and the dealer card is small.
At that time, the economy was not very rich, and they only bet one yuan and one yuan, and as a result, they stole dozens or even hundreds of yuan a day.
It not only affects the construction progress, but also destroys the social atmosphere. The impact was terrible at the time. They spend the day recuperating on the construction site and play cards all night at night. As a result, the bridge repair project was delayed again and again, and it could not be completed, causing a very bad impact on the whole commune.
Until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the construction has not been completed.
Under the direct supervision of the commune and the brigade, the work was handed over on the 28th day of the lunar month.
A three-way earth bridge lasted more than three months, spent countless manpower and material resources, and the arch bridge deck smashed out with three-way soil collapsed and broke down in less than three months. It can really be said that the people are hurting the people and money, and the gains outweigh the losses.
My old friend and I recalled the absurd bridge building and couldn't stop laughing at the sky.
Other people build bridges are bricks, cement and steel bars, we build bridges but a brick is useless, all are three-fold soil, no wonder the repair is fast, collapse urgent.
