75 Kowtow Machine

……

"Second sister! Second sister! Come out and see, come out! ”

Wei Siguo shouted at the house, the family sat in front of the TV and waited to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Li Yuehua and Wei Fuhai had flour on their hands, one rolled the skin, the other made dumplings, the two cooperated tacitly, Wei Gospel washed his hands, wrapped a lucky coin in the dumpling skin, clapped his hands, and his task was completed.

Wei Fuling and Wei Siguo have been away from home all day and night since the winter vacation, and they have been messing around with Yang Longfei and the two brothers all day, and the whole city is full of laughter and laughter in the Chinese New Year's Eve, people are keen to visit, walk the alleys, the lights are bright, the deafening sound of firecrackers outside, the light and darkness outside the window, everyone is full of joy and laughter.

There are not many households in Da'an, there are only a dozen of them over and over again, and they are poor in life, and they can't do it as much as people who live in the city, even if they buy firecrackers symbolically before dinner, and make a few thunderbolts in front of their homes, which is considered a celebration.

Compared with the lively urban area, it seems much more deserted, and there are few firecrackers that go off a few times, and there is no movement.

"Second sister, come out quickly." Wei Siguo saw that Wei Gospel had not moved for a long time, so he was anxious, so he flew to push the door into the house, hurriedly grabbed her hand and ran out.

"What are you doing?" Wei Gospel asked suspiciously, she was indifferent to whether the outside world was lively or deserted, even if it was the New Year, she didn't feel particularly excited.

"Come with me, everyone Yang bought a car of fireworks, and their house is going to start setting off fireworks."

As he spoke, he dragged Wei Gospel out.

Walking out of the yard, looking from afar, the whole city is brightly lit, fireworks are rising, colorful, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening, like flowers scattered by fairies, blooming in the night sky one after another, together with the whole Da'an is also dipped in joy, and the lights are bright.

Yang Longfei, who had been lying in the house for more than a week, could finally go outside to breathe fresh air, he was on crutches, and his legs and feet were still a little uncomfortable.

Wei Gospel came closer and said, "Happy New Year."

She didn't come at the right time, the main event was over, surrounded by bundles of firecracker wreckage, thicker than an adult's waist, slightly counted, about a dozen, fireworks confetti all over the ground, the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunsmoke, the blasting power of fireworks was amazing, blowing up the mud and sand on the ground, leaving circles visible to the naked eye around the empty bamboo tubes.

"Second sister, why are you only here now! You didn't see it, it was spectacular just now, the fireworks swished into the air and fell like meteors, but unfortunately you didn't see it. Wei Fuling said regretfully.

"Ahh How did you finish it so quickly! Wei Siguo squatted down in frustration and looked at the scraps of paper all over the floor.

"You're late, just now my parents finished all the fireworks, I'm afraid that the fireworks will collapse us, don't let me and my brother set off privately, my family buys a lot of fireworks and firecrackers every New Year." Yang Junyi said.

Just by looking at the mess of a place, you can know how gorgeous the landscape is just now, and there are more than a dozen fireworks bamboo tubes thicker than your waist placed side by side in the open space in front of the yard, and the wrapping paper of the bamboo tubes is scattered everywhere by firecrackers, which is enough to blow up a house.

There is also the pungent smell of fireworks in the sky, lingering for a long time, presumably the moment it is lit must be extremely colorful, in comparison, Wei Fuhai only used a long bamboo pole to carry a string of fifty firecrackers, thunderbolts sounded a few times, clapped his hands and said, "Okay", the ritual at home is simple and a little shabby, it can't be compared with the battle of Yang Longfei's family, no wonder those who do big business like to make a big show, extravagant and wasteful in this regard, maybe the gods in the sky also like to be lively.

"Oh." Wei Gospel looked at the red fragments scattered under his feet lightly, and the bundles of huge fireworks wreckage, and did not feel sorry for the missed wonder.

"How's your injury?"

Yang Longfei has been in a state of excitement and eagerness, and he replied sideways: "Okay."

"That's good." Wei Gospel rubbed her hands, although it was already spring, but the winter had not passed, she was pulled out by Wei Siguo just now, she didn't have time to put on her coat, she stood in the cold wind for so long, her nose and mouth were frozen red, and she was ready to turn around and go home.

"Wait a minute." Yang Longfei saw her turn around, put a cane across in front of her, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wei Gospel said: "Go home, it's too cold."

"Wait a minute, don't go, I have something good for you." As he spoke, he turned around and draped his clothes on her shoulders, and limped into the yard, he hadn't gone out for a week, first, the doctor didn't let him move, and secondly, Wang Fengmei looked strictly, thinking about his back from falling down such a high slope, he had a chill down his spine, and he was at peace these days.

Wei Fuxin patiently watched his back disappear into the darkness from afar, waiting quietly.

Not far from a vacant land side by side with two kowtow machines, I didn't care much about it before, in the past two years, I suddenly found that there are many more derricks nearby, almost every five or six hundred meters there is a derrick, every time the well team moves, it will use more than a dozen large trailers to pull away the iron houses stationed around the derrick, most of the places where the wells are drilled are far away from the city in the wilderness, there is no road, the moving convoy is mighty from the dirt road, dusty.

Unconsciously, there are many derricks like this near the city, and in the hazy night, the front end of the kowtow machine rises for a while and falls for a while.

When he was a child, he was ignorant, Wei Gospel took Wei Fuling and Wei Siguo to climb onto the derrick, and was taught a lesson by Li Yuehua.

In recent months, there have been some new derricks around inadvertently, and Wei Gospel watched from a distance as the black beam was pulled by an extremely thin line, methodically going up and down, up and down.

"What are you looking at, so fascinating." Yang Longfei stood silently behind her.

"I didn't even know that there were so many derricks lately." Wei Gospel said.

Yang Longfei said: "Yes, now that the technology has improved, the speed of drilling wells has increased, it used to take three months and half a year to drill a well, but now it is a well a month, of course it is fast."

Wei Gospel pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, it's me who is lonely."

Yang Longfei said: "You don't listen to things outside the window, and you only read the books of sages and sages."

The two of them seemed to have nothing to see, standing side by side in the wind, watching the distant kowtow machine fascinated.

Wei Gospel looked at the majestic kowtow machine and sighed: "You say, how much oil does so many derricks have to produce in a day?"

Yang Longfei didn't seem to care about this, he exhaled deeply, and sighed rashly: "Yes, there are so many kowtow machines, if I sell iron, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune."

His brain circuit has never been different from ordinary people, Wei Gospel glanced at him, and Yang Longfei said with a smile: "Haha...... Ha ha...... Just kidding, just kidding. ”

Wei Gospel glanced at him, he finally stopped daydreaming, straightened his color, and said, "I specially surprised you."

It turned out that he had just entered the yard and brought out a bamboo tube, although it was smaller than the dozen or so empty bamboo tubes that had been burned, but it could be regarded as a giant in the fireworks, and several people squatted down around the bamboo tube, looking at him curiously.

"I secretly hid one." Yang Longfei raised an eyebrow on one side.

"Stay away, all of you." He held a thin stick in his hand to light a fire, and everyone listened to his order, and in an instant they all took five or six steps back, staring nervously and excitedly at the fireworks on the ground, looking forward to the moment when it would burst.

Yang Longfei lit the thin stick in his hand, Wei Gospel wanted to kindly remind him to be careful, don't be hit by fireworks, and feel that he is simply a crow's mouth, so don't ruin everyone's happiness at such a festive and joyful moment.

"Look at it." Yang Longfei stretched out his hand vigilantly, his body deviated outward, ready to escape at any time, everyone watched intently as the flame on the thin stick just touched the bamboo tube, and the fine twist was ignited instantly, making a sound of "呑呑呑", Yang Longfei turned around and ran a few meters away, and the most exciting moment came.

The fireworks rose instantly, like a fire tree full of silver flowers, the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky, and the flames split into countless smaller lights, as if it was an upside-down waterfall, falling from the sky, the sound of explosions resounded through the night sky, Wei Fuling and Wei Siguo jumped and jumped excitedly, and their eyes were as bright as day.

Wei Gospel stood quietly in place, looking through the bright flames, and saw Yang Longfei standing opposite, waving to her, as if shouting, there was a noise around, she pointed to her ears and shook her head, and the two grinned silently.

In the blink of an eye, the fireworks were scattered around, and before they had time to appreciate it, everything returned to normal, and the bamboo tube was extinguished instantly, but the ashes on the ground and the joy in my heart proved that such a splendid thing did exist.
