Three

Time is like an arrow, the years are like a shuttle, eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, the autumn and the spring treasure have grown into a young man in his prime, the autumn middle school is about to graduate, the young age has been faintly some elegant scribe style, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient not to say, but also a very good handwriting of the fly's head Xiaokai, the four books and five classics that are familiar with the heart, but now there is no champion to test. Chun Bao is half a head taller than the autumn, because he often goes to the countryside with Chen to collect rent, and his skin is tanned, like a big man.

Mrs. Liu is good at management, the land has accumulated from 50 acres to 100 acres, the days are no longer as tight as before, the appetizers have changed from peanuts and cold tofu skin to pig's head meat, and drinking wine is no longer cheap sorghum roast, but has been replaced by good wine such as Fenjiu and Jiannanchun. People like to recall the past when they are old, Mrs. Liu likes to tell the anecdotes of how he roamed the rivers and lakes and crisscrossed the Yunnan-Guichuan area at the wine table, of course, the repertoire is that he broke into Xuzhou Mansion alone, defeated Li Wu in two games, and won a mansion. The two teenagers listened attentively with their cheeks, and they never got tired of listening to it many times.

"It's been sixteen years, my father is old, and the house is old." Mrs. Liu always sighed, ending with this sentence, he was obsessed with the fact that this house was only ten years old, and there were cracks and leaks in many places, after all, it was a house won by martial arts, the materials were not very solid, and the design was very simple, it was time to renovate and repair.

The whole family has invested great enthusiasm in renovating the house, Liu Taigong took out five hundred Yuan Datou, and now the silver ingots and Yingyang are not allowed to use, the market is this kind of silver dollar cast with Yuan Shikai's bald head, five hundred yuan is not a small number, and even another house can be bought elsewhere, but Liu Taigong said, this is my blessed land, and the descendants of our Liu family will live here in the future.

The renovation project is very large, Mrs. Liu invited the best masons and carpenters in Xuzhou Mansion, purchased 20,000 pieces of good quality big green bricks and 1,000 pieces of gray tiles, the beams and timbers of the houses are all replaced, the yard floor is paved with bricks, and the lime mortar used is exquisite, it is said that the glutinous rice juice is used, and the technology of building the city wall in ancient times is used, and the house built can not be opened with cannons. In addition to the renovation of the house, a small bridge was built over the river in the north, and the road at the entrance was repaired and paved with bluestone slabs, so that the ground would no longer be muddy on rainy days.

At the end of the project, it was already winter, the Liu family mansion was renovated, the blue brick wall with grinding bricks and joints, the roof was paved with neat gray tiles, a pair of brass door cymbals on the vermilion lacquer gate, stone drums were placed on both sides of the door, the yard was covered with green bricks, two flower beds were newly built, ready to plant some self-cultivation flowers and trees, and there was a large vat in the yard, which was used to raise fish and serve as fire fighting, and it had not had time to fill water for the time being. The furniture staircase door leaf should also be replaced, the carpenters are making furniture on the spot in the west room, the wood is ash, the planers are full of shavings, the dust is all over the sky, and the remaining bricks and stones are piled up in the yard, waiting to be cleaned slowly.

Watching his family business grow day by day, perfect, Mrs. Liu was in a good mood, put wine to celebrate the completion of the renovation of the house, set up a few tables of banquets, thanked the masters who worked, and the people with faces in Xuzhou Mansion also invited a number of them, and the old friend Li Wu was even more indispensable. Mrs. Liu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he kept persuading him to drink, but when others were not drunk, he got drunk first.

The adults drank in the hall, the two children were not idle, Chun Bao first got up from the quilt, ran to the north house upstairs to call Zhiqiu, the two sneaked to the kitchen to get two chicken legs, grabbed a handful of salt beans, carried a pot of wine, ran to the carpenter to work in the West House to drink, sixteen or seventeen years old is yearning for adult life, with a strong imitation of the age of **, the two of them in the light of the oil lamp have a decent push cup to change the cup to drink.

Zhiqiu said, "Brother, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Chun Bao thought for a while and said: "I want to be a hero, take a sword to go south and north, and when I am old, find a place, build a big house like our family to live in, and drink and eat meat with friends every day." Zhiqiu smiled: "Brother, you listen to the magic that my father has heard, and now they all use fast guns, no matter how fast the sword is, can there be bullets?" "Chunbao said, then what do you want to do when you grow up? Zhiqiu said with a yearning face: "I want to go to Shanghai." ”

"Shanghai?" Chun Bao looked puzzled, and forgot to gnaw on the chicken legs.

"Shanghai is a thousand miles southeast of Xuzhou, relying on the East China Sea, is the largest metropolis in the Far East, full of high-rise buildings, chimney factories, the Huangpu River is full of big ships, artillery ships, factory workers, as long as you press the button, you can get fifteen yuan a month, more than the farmers in the countryside who plant a year's fields to earn ......" The autumn described the appearance of Shanghai vividly, in fact, these are all he heard in the school, there is a teacher surnamed Bai in the middle school, who loves to wear suit pants and leather shoes, full of foreign language, it is said that he studied at St. John's College in Shanghai, Zhiqiu likes to listen to him tell the story of Shanghai, just as Chunbao likes to listen to the story of Liu Taigong's adventure.

Chun Bao was fascinated by the scene described by Zhiqiu, what kind of colorful world it was, it was beyond the scope of the teenager's imagination, he said: "Then I will go to Shanghai, work in the factory, earn fifteen yuan a month, and when I have saved enough, I will come back, build a big house next to our house, and have nothing to do with you." ”

Zhiqiu said: "I won't always live here, didn't I say it just now, I'm going to Shanghai, go to university, live in a bungalow, wear a dress, work in a foreign bank, earn 50 yuan a month, half of which is left for flowers, and half is sent to my parents." ”

Chunbao said: "Then let's go together, so that we can take care of it." By the way, how to get around Shanghai? ”

Zhiqiu said: "Take the train, there is no railway station built by foreigners in the east of the city, there is a train from the south to the north every day, play a ticket, take the trip to the south, and it will arrive every night." ”

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, Zhiqiu was afraid of being seen, and was busy hiding the oil lamp in the soles of his feet, who knew that he accidentally knocked it over, the lamp oil was sprinkled on the shavings, and the fire got up at once, so panicked that he hurriedly stepped on it with his feet, where can he step on it, Chun Bao was in a hurry, untied the cotton pants and urinated, a soak of urine poured over, the fire suddenly weakened, just when the two were glad that they did not cause a big disaster, the fire hidden under the shavings rose again, Zhiqiu made a mistake in the busy, and actually poured the wine on it, and the flames suddenly spread, and the faces of the two teenagers were frightened white, The Westhouse is full of wood, and it's over when you burn it! Zhiqiu realized that he had to call an adult to solve it, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and shouted, "Dad! Mother! Oh no! ”

The door was wide open, and a wind swept into the West House, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn more vigorously, and the adults were alarmed and hurriedly put out the fire, but there was no water in the water tank, and the pond and the small river outside the door were frozen, and the water had to be fetched to the well platform a hundred steps away. Fight the fire! ”

Thanks to Liu's house today's treat, the number of people is strong, and they smashed the ice of the pond, used basins and buckets to fetch water to fight the fire, and after a long time, they finally extinguished the fire, but the entire West House and the South House were turned into ruins, and there was no wood left for the furniture that was bought at a great price.

Mrs. Liu was wet, his beard was half burned, he was trembling and wanted to cry without tears, and half of the newly repaired house was burned down like this, still in front of his friends and guests, this face was lost, his eyes swept away, and he saw two gray-faced teenagers in the crowd, staring at their toes with their heads down, looking like they were afraid of being punished by adults for doing something wrong.

"Who did the good thing?" Mrs. Liu asked.

Death-like silence, Liu Taigong suddenly became angry, with both hands, the wooden handle broom was broken, Zhiqiu cried and just wanted to stand up, one hand pulled him from behind, Chun Bao took two steps forward, lowered his head and said, "Uncle, I accidentally ordered the West Winghouse." ”

Mrs. Liu shook his hands angrily, Chen rushed up with an arrow step, and the round was a big mouth, and the Chunbao who smoked turned around twice before falling, Chen did not give up, raised his leg and kicked violently, in the past, he beat the child while scolding, this time the light kick did not scold, a kick on Chunbao, the voice was extremely dull, like kicking on a sandbag, Chunbao leaned motionless, just snorting and panting. Mrs. Liu's distorted face turned to the side and said nothing.

Zhiqiu wanted to say that it was the Westinghouse I lit, but fear made him unable to open his mouth, and he could only watch Chunbao beat for himself helplessly like a frightened bird.
