"Crackling" The sound of firecrackers woke up Liu He's sweet dream. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as he was rubbing his head, Liu Zheng ran in from outside, looked at Liu He, who was still sleepy-eyed, and said playfully: "Brother, you can really sleep, my parents and I have called you several times, you just didn't wake up, now that you finally wake up, then go to the river with me, Dad, they are already helping Uncle Kaiqingtang clean up the river." ”
Yes, the sound of firecrackers just now must be the groundbreaking ceremony of cleaning up the river!
When Liu He was stunned, Liu Zheng asked again: "Brother, do you want to go or not, just squeak!" ”
"Okay, okay, you go first, I'll go later." Liu He said impatiently, he exhausted his physical strength when he took the gloomy wood home late last night, and the gloomy wood that was sixty or seventy centimeters thicker than his thighs and heavier than anyone else was at least fifty catties.
The cleaning of the river is just like that, if it weren't for Liu Zheng waiting for Liu He all the time, he really wouldn't want to join in the excitement.
When Liu He arrived at the river, there were many more onlookers than the villagers who cleaned up the river, and when the adults were cleaning up the river beach and cutting down the trees that affected the river, some hairy children followed closely behind them, and many crabs, loaches, small fish, and clams were picked up by them from time to time, so that a group of hairy children did not let out bursts of cheers.
"Brother, let's go down too, the second cousin said that the fish, shrimp and crabs caught in the river today are all their own, if we go down, how can we still have those hairy children, and there will not be many opportunities to go down the river like this in the future." Looking at the hairy child brother Liu Zheng who has repeatedly won in the river, he is very moved.
Liu He glanced at him and said softly: "If you want to go, you can go, I won't go down to bully them." ”
"Forget it, I won't be able to win if I go down, let's just go to the river and see if my father and second cousin can find a baby by cleaning the river." Seeing that Liu He was not interested in fishing and catching shrimp at all, Liu Zheng also lost interest.
Fortunately, God gave face today, the sun in the sky seemed to be a shy girl who had never come forward, and there was a gentle breeze in the air blowing on everyone's faces.
It will take a day or two for the several kilometers of the river to be cleaned up slowly, followed by a stone and cement embankment, the width of the Huangshi River is only five or six meters, and the construction period adds up to a total of five or six days.
Although the younger brother Liu Zheng said that he was not interested in catching fish and shrimp, he was very bored after staying by Liu He's side for a long time, and in his opinion, his current brother became a little untalkative, and he was in a daze from time to time, and he quickly participated in the team of hairy children while not understanding in his heart.
Time passed slowly, the team cleaning up the river also moved slowly, and the villagers who had been watching gradually dispersed, the countryside has always been one thing and one thing, and they will not always delay precious time by the river.
Liu He is the same, his father is helping the second cousin clean up the river, the younger brother is busy catching fish and shrimp, and his mother Liang Lanxiang went to the second cousin's house to help cook, leaving him alone with nothing to do.
But it just so happened that now Liu He has time to go home and enjoy the appearance of the gloomy wood.
When he returned home, Liu He went to the place where the stacks of wood were stacked at the back of the house, and from under a bundle of dried corn stalks, he carefully removed the gloomy wood that had been hidden here last night, and moved the treasure again with great difficulty, thinking that he should get rid of all the dirt on the surface of the gloomy wood.
After a while, the originally clean and tidy courtyard dam sewage flowed sideways, a large plastic basin in the middle of the courtyard dam, and several buckets were placed next to it, Liu He sat on a small wooden bench and looked happily at the dark and shiny gloomy wood in the basin.
Before it was cleaned, Liu He tested the gloomy wood, and sure enough, it sank under the water, which undoubtedly proved once again that this was a good quality gloomy wood.
However, waiting for the whole gloomy wood to be brushed clean, the wood texture, the color of the wood, and the degree of carbonization formed on it all made Liu He, who knew a little about the gloomy wood industry, amazed, and even smelled a very faint aroma.
Need.
It must be the best in the gloomy wood.
The best gloomy wood is sold by the gram like gold in the future, and how much is it worth if he has at least fifty catties of gloomy wood in front of him!
For a while, Liu He was stunned by the huge value of gloomy wood.
No, you have to hide it quickly.
Looking left and right, thinking about things and thinking about things, in the end, Liu He wrapped the gloomy wood in an old dress with a ruddy face like a drunk, and then put it under the wooden bed where he slept, and then covered it with the old books he had studied before.
However, less than half an hour later, Liu He immediately changed his mind.
Now the family already has a strange stone, gloomy wood, but in Liu He's heart he still hopes to use gloomy wood in exchange for money, because the appreciation of strange stones in the future generations is too big, if you meet people who like to have not bad money, the price is basically at the other party's bidding, and the boutique stone is really not easy to find, Liu He wants to treasure the first strange stone encountered in his life.
There is room for value-added in the gloomy wood, but its price has been very high in the nineties, and in the new century, in order to make up for the domestic vacancion of gloomy wood, many businessmen have gone to Southeast Asia to buy and excavate, so the price has been growing steadily.
Besides, Liu He's gloomy wood in front of him is very large, and he can cut a small part of fifty catties of gloomy wood, which is enough to change the economic conditions of the family, and most of the rest will either continue to hold and increase in value, or seek better sellers to obtain higher profits.
Thinking of this, Liu He laboriously moved out the whole gloomy wood again, found a firewood knife from the kitchen, aimed at a corner of the gloomy wood, and chopped it hard.
Violent destruction of heavenly things, Liu He's behavior if some collectors who like gloomy wood find out that the other party must find him desperately, but at this moment Liu He can't care so much, although it will make gloomy wood lose a certain value, but thinking that it can immediately change the economic conditions of the family, he thinks it's all worth it.
Some of the gloomy wood is hard, but it pales in comparison to the wood knife.
As soon as the knife went down, a deep hole appeared on the gloomy wood, and some small debris burst open.
No matter how small the details are, it is money, Liu He is still not merciless when he is distressed, and after a few knives, the whole gloomy wood finally split him into two pieces, and he picked up the small one and took it in his hand, and he estimated that it was four or five catties.
After doing all this, Liu He hurriedly wrapped the large piece of gloomy wood again with a pair of worn-out ones, covering it with old books like just now, and the small gloomy wood was directly put into his schoolbag by him, waiting for the day after tomorrow, he thought of bringing it into the city and selling it, as for the scraps scattered on the ground, Liu He continued to pick up a small piece from the ground bit by bit, and then carefully put it into a plastic bottle, and finally tighten the cap.
And not long after he finished his work, his mother's exclamation came from outside the house: "He Wa, Zheng Wa, who of you are at home, what are you doing all over the yard and the dam is full of water?" ”
Liu He, who was in the house, hurriedly went out to explain: "Mom, my brother is catching fish and shrimp in the river now, I got the water in the yard dam, I just washed the strange stones with water, can't I sell them for a high price when I wash them......
"Really?" The mother didn't know, so she was immediately fooled by Liu He.
Fortunately, we washed the strange stone together just now, Liu He nodded confidently and said: "Hello, you see if the strange stone is much better-looking, and Mom, I will discuss something with you, in the past few days, Dad has been helping the second cousin clean up the river and will not be able to leave, I think tomorrow I should go into the city and sell the strange stone?" ”
"You can do it as a half-year-old, let's wait for your father to be busy for the next few days!" Mother Liang Lanxiang thought about it and rejected Liu He's proposal.
However, Liu He had already thought about it and said again: "Mom, you see that it has only been a few days since school started, if my father's work has not been completed, he will be embarrassed to go away, I met Mu Chengyong yesterday, he and his father Mu Tianhong will enter the city tomorrow, and I will definitely not be deceived with them." ”
"No, no, you haven't experienced any of these things, and besides, this strange stone involves tens of thousands of dollars, so let's wait for your father to come back." The mother's face was a little moved, but she still refused thinking about the value of the strange stone.
It seems that the positive face can't convince his mother, Liu He pondered in his heart for a while and immediately made another plan: "Okay, Qishi will wait for Dad to sell it himself, but tomorrow I still want to go into the city with Mu Chengyong, I'll go and find out the bottom of Qishi first, right?" ”
"It's okay, your dad is not familiar with this business, I agree that you will go to the city tomorrow, and if you can find out, it is best to help me buy some things and come back." This time, my mother finally agreed.
