Chapter 262: Tamping the Trumpet (1)
Li Ziyu said a word to her aunt and Wang Qiuyue, then went out and walked east along the small river under the hillside.
The villagers who helped had already stepped on a path around the river, and the wild grass on both sides of the path had caused them to pull out a lot.
She looked at the river in front of her with relief as she walked, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Although the small river I bought by myself cost a hundred taels of silver, it was too worth it.
This small river is roughly estimated to have ten acres of water surface, the river water is clear and turquoise, and the sky is reflected in the clear water, reflecting the river water is bluer. The willow trees by the river have already revealed their tender and fluffy branches, and the breeze by the river has brought a hint of warmth, heralding the arrival of spring.
There was a gravel-built path by the river that she and her brothers had built from their home to the shallows of the river. There is a small wharf made of several large bluestones, and the clear and sweet river water is underneath the bluestones.
These bluestones were still obtained from nowhere when my father was there, and fortunately there are these bluestones, otherwise they will have problems eating and drinking.
For the past few years, their siblings have been carrying water and eating here every day. The place where the clothes were washed had been changed to the house since Li Ziyu came, and the dirty water was also splashed in the wasteland outside the door.
In this way, the water in the river will not be polluted and it will be much safer to use.
When Li Ziyu walked to the east of the river, through the half-human-high shrubs and wild grass, what caught her eye was a scene of labor in full swing.
One hundred and ten people are digging the foundation with shovels and pickaxes, and a straight wall of people is sweating and raining according to the painted baseline.
It is not an exaggeration to say that sweating like rain is not an exaggeration, there are already many young men who have taken off their cotton clothes and are only wearing underwear. Beads of sweat on his face were already soaking through his clothes.
There was a faint commotion ahead, and it sounded like laughter among the people of the village.
"Da Zhuang, I heard that your daughter-in-law has it? Okay, you. Hardworking enough! Right? Guys? β
"Erdan, don't you owe a beating? You don't even have any hair and you know a fart! Do you know what it means to be diligent? Big strong brother in a while, you beat him! β
"Hey, I said Gazi, I'm playing with Big Brother, what's the matter with you? Pig's nose sticks green onions, what kind of image do you pretend? I don't understand, you do? Aren't you just as single as me? β
"Erdan, don't you look for trouble? What's going on? Gazi is not right? Do you want me to find a place to teach you what it means to be diligent? β
"Don't be a big brother. Isn't that what I owe? Don't be like me, didn't I hear that my sister-in-law was happy to have a nephew? Hey hey"
"Work hard and work hard, and feed the dog's stomach with such good meals from the master's family? With this idle kung fu, you can dig two shovels! Two eggs. If you do this again, you won't need it tomorrow! β
"Don't, village chief grandpa, can't I be wrong? I just want to tease Big Brother. I'll do it right away. I'm going to keep my mouth shut. β
"Hmph, if you're like this, the village chief has to clean you up!"
"That's it!"
When Li Ziyu heard this, she looked carefully, and saw that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown boy who had been trained by the village chief to wilt his head and droop his head no longer dared to say anything, and worked with a shovel.
The rest of the crowd also restrained their laughter and sped up the speed of the shovels and pickaxes in their hands, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became dull. But. The progress of digging the foundation was much faster, and everyone kept their mouths shut. No more gags.
Li Ziyu didn't go to the north, south, and west again, and went back in thought
Three days passed, except for the gate of the courtyard, the foundations on the east, west, south and north sides were dug up, and the foundation was only solidified.
Early this morning, the old village chief Zhao Qing found four Lu Qi as tamping tools.
It was fastened with wire and wooden sticks, and seven or eight ropes were tied around it, so that the tamping tool was made.
Knowing that they were going to ram today, almost all the adults and children in the village went out and gathered at the foot of the hillside of Li Ziyu's house, which was more lively than the New Year.
Even the women who were cooking stopped their work for a while and rushed out. However, they didn't go far, they stood outside the door of Li Ziyu's house, eagerly looking at the position of tamping in the distance, looking forward to it with great interest.
Li Ziyu is also interested in ancient tamping, and I don't know how it differs from modern tamping songs. In modern times, rural houses are also rammed, and the ramming is also very imposing.
Li Ziyu saw that Wang Qiuyue and her aunt were not interested in the excitement outside, and took care of themselves doing needlework on the kang, so she dragged Cousin Xiaoou to the foundation with the old village chief, wanting to see how they rammed.
At this time, the old village chief walked over in good spirits, and his eyes flashed with divine brilliance. Today he was dressed in a new outfit, as if it were a good day for him.
Today's ramming style is the old village chief, don't look at the fifties, the spirit is not inferior to the young people.
Grandma Zhao stood in the crowd, her eyes seemed to see the demeanor of the old man when he was young, and her face was full of warmth.
At this moment, next to the four Lu Qi, there are four young men of similar size holding one end of a thick wooden stick, and they are ready to go. He was like a warrior who had been given a sacred mission, and his face was solemn.
And in this periphery, the whole village was already surrounded by men, women and children, and everyone was excited to look at the young and strong young people in the village.
In particular, there were many young girls and little daughters-in-law in the crowd, their faces were full of pride and pride, and some of them looked at them with affection.
For among them were their husbands, their betrothed fiancΓ©s, and their own brothers. Ramming is a face-revealing thing, but not everyone is qualified to tamm.
Of course, there are also a few of these descendants from the capital, and they have become the target of attention of the little girls in the village. Some bold girls have already begun to secretly send Qiu Bo, so that those young men dare not look up.
At this moment, the old village chief stood on a high rock and raised his right hand. The audience immediately fell silent, and their eyes stared directly at the old village chief's right hand. When the old village chief's right hand fell, a high-pitched and loud voice erupted from his chest and suddenly resounded in the air.
"Boys, come and ram!"
"Hey-hey-hey-y-y!"
The sixteen young men carrying the four Luqi worked together, and with the rhythm of raising and violent, the Luqi smashed on the ground and made a "bang" sound.
The sound aroused the latent passion and pride in the young men's bodies, and they also made the strongest voice in their chests with the trumpet of the old village chief.
"Boys, work hard!"
"Hey-hey-la-ah!"
"Hit on all sides!"
"Hey-hey-ah-ah!"
"Hold it high!"
"Hey-hey-ah-ah!"
"Put it down steadily!"
"Hey-hey-ah-ah!"
