Chapter 98: The watermill is built
It's not easy to live in the middle of summer, especially when you can only wear cotton clothes and your hands and feet are tightly wrapped.
Cui'er unconsciously pulled her neckline and tore off the clothes that were sticky to her skin, and the air that poured in instantly made Cui'er feel a lot more comfortable. She looked up at the somewhat dim clouds in the sky, felt the humidity in the sultry air, and thought it was going to rain.
"It's going to rain, I have to hurry up and finish picking tea and go back." Cui'er's movements in her hands sped up a lot. The tea that Cui'er is picking now is the tea tree transplanted from the seedlings, although the tea tree is still very immature, but there are many new shoots growing, and this tea tree can also pick a lot of tea green.
I don't know when I ran over, I waved my tail to say hello to Cui'er, and the smooth tail that was cut by Cui'er was very funny, which made Cui'er laugh crisply.
Because of the hot weather, Cui'er saw that the hair on Zhaocai's body was too thick, and cut off a lot of its hair while Zhaocai was sleeping.
"Cui'er, what's wrong?" When Cui'er was busy working, she suddenly heard Lian Qingshan's voice, and when she looked back, it was really Lian Qingshan, who was striding over with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
"Why are you here?" When Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan, her heart warmed, her irritable mood just now because of the hot weather seemed to have been soaked in a burst of cool water, and it became cool and cool, she smiled and took two steps in the direction of Lian Qingshan and asked.
"It's not going to rain soon, so I'm here to send you an umbrella." Lian Qingshan waved the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and looked at the basket beside Cui'er, Cha Qing had already filled most of the basket, "How many haven't been picked, I'll help you." ”
"It's all done here, you can help me pick a few trees over there, let's go home quickly after picking." Cui'er pointed to a few trees in the distance and said, the humidity in the air was getting louder and louder. It is obviously a precursor to rain, and it is serious for me and Lian Qingshan to hurry up and go home after picking the tea.
"Okay!" Lian Qingshan responded happily, put the oil-paper umbrella next to the basket of the tea green, and walked to the tea tree. Squatted down and went to pick tea. Lian Qingshan is tall, and the young tea tree is very small, compared with this big and small, it is actually squatting Lian Qingshan is a few laps bigger than the tea tree.
But after a while, Cui'er finished picking the tea green in front of her, seeing that Lian Qingshan's picking speed was relatively slow, Cui'er moved over to pick side by side with him, and the two stood side by side in this small space, and there was a faint dampness and ambiguity in the air, which made a small spark between the two. If it weren't for the fact that it was going to rain in the sky. Maybe you can linger on this tea mountain for a while.
Picking the last bit of tea green, Lian Qingshan kept carrying a basket full of tea green, carrying an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and Cui'er in the other, and the two of them dared to go home together.
When the bean-sized raindrops fall. Cui'er and Lian Qingshan had already rushed into the courtyard, and they arrived at the house before the heavy rain poured down, and the two looked at each other and smiled, thinking that this was very interesting to run wild to avoid the heavy rain.
Because of the rain, the originally scorching weather brushed down all of a sudden, and of course, because of the rain. Even the two adults, Qingshan and Cui'er, plus the two children of Da Niu and Xiaohu, were trapped at home and couldn't go out.
In addition to feeding the chickens and pigs and going to the old yard to pick vegetables, Lian Qingshan would put on his coat and rush to the old yard, and the rest of the time, Cui'er's family of four sat around the house, or did needlework or practiced kung fu. Or do that waterwheel.
"Cui'er, look ......" Lian Qingshan put the similar waterwheel in his hand in front of Cui'er, although the heavy rain for two consecutive days blocked him in the house and couldn't move, the progress of this waterwheel was very good, no. The main body of the half-human-high small waterwheel has been almost done!
"Oh my god, is this going to be done?" Cui'er naturally saw Lian Qingshan do this a long time ago, but looking at his joyful invitation, Cui'er was unwilling to dampen his enthusiasm, and said with a slight surprise. When she approached Lian Qingshan and saw the waterwheel with a bit of simplicity but very exquisiteness, the surprise that she deliberately made turned into three points.
"Aoyama, you're amazing!" Cui'er holds the main shaft part of the waterwheel with one hand, and the impeller of the waterwheel with the other, and the part where the wood and wood are combined, although it feels a little jerky, can roll effortlessly, and Cui'er can even see that the spindle part is similar to the bite device of the gear.
"Hehe, I know you're amazing!" Lian Qingshan was obviously pleased by Cui'er's undisguised praise, he raised his head slightly proudly, and looked at Cui'er with a smile, "Is there any reward?" ”
"There are rewards, there are rewards!" Cui'er watched the big girl and Xiaohu concentrate on playing on the side, approached Lian Qingshan, lightly imprinted a kiss on his face, and then retreated shyly.
Even Qingshan was overjoyed by this gentle kiss, and said triumphantly while picking up the bamboo tube on the ground, "Look at your father-in-law to build you a waterwheel that is not available in this hundred miles of mountains!" ”
Cui'er nodded excitedly, thinking about the comfort of her own water wheel after she built it, and wished that the sky would be sunny immediately. God seemed to hear Cui'er's heart, and before the afternoon, the heavy rain tended to subside, and after dinner, a trace of the sun appeared in the sky.
"Wow, it's clear!" Cui'er saw that the rain stopped, and said with a smile, the big girl and the little tiger were suffocating in the house, and as soon as Cui'er said this, the two children, one older and one younger, couldn't wait to rush out.
I also can't wait, there is Lian Qingshan, but Lian Qingshan didn't go out to play, but took his newly typed waterwheel and went to the back mountain.
Cui'er was afraid that there would be too much water outside and it would be cold to the two children, so she let them play on the brick floor at the door, so she let them out, but she didn't have time to stop Lian Qingshan.
Cui'er watched Lian Qingshan go to the back mountain in a hurry, she couldn't cry or laugh, although she wanted a waterwheel, but she didn't want to let him step on the muddy ground, Cui'er looked at the muddy land soaked in heavy rain, and wondered if Lian Qingshan would slip or something.
After struggling for a long time, Cui'er finally couldn't bear the entanglement in her heart, and told the big girl to take a good look at Xiaohu, and pulled up her trouser leg and changed into straw sandals. closed the courtyard door and followed Lian Qingshan's footsteps to the back of the courtyard.
When Cui'er walked to the back of the courtyard, she happened to see Lian Qingshan placing a waterwheel next to the spring, and the waterwheel was placed in a small waterhole next to the spring. There is a small stream of water between the spring and the small pool, and the falling water hits the fan blades of the waterwheel, which can turn the waterwheel around.
I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain just now, the spring water is still a little turbid, and the water flow is much bigger than usual.
As the waterwheel rotated, streams of water were carried into the air, and then a perfect arc was drawn, stirring up a splash of water.
"It's beautiful!" I don't know when it started. In the distance, a rainbow was hung, this end of the rainbow appeared in front of Cui'er's eyes, and the other end extended straight to the other side of the mountain, "I don't know where the other side of the mountain is?" I really want to go and see ......," Cui'er said excitedly.
"Good. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to the outside of the mountain, let's take a good walk and have a look! Lian Qingshan held Cui'er's hand tightly and said solemnly.
I don't know why, when Lian Qingshan said this, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and the mist splashed by the small waterwheel. A small rainbow also appeared, echoing the big rainbow hanging in the sky, which was beautiful.
"Good!" Cui'er was moved by the beautiful scenery in front of her, as well as Lian Qingshan's sincerity to herself, and was hugged by Lian Qingshan. I only feel that my body and heart are warm, and I am full of sweetness from the bottom of my heart, just like the spring water, which keeps gushing out.
Cui'er and Lian Qingshan dragged their shoes stained with mud and water to the door of the house, and found the two children in the yard who were supposed to stay at home "obediently". They were covered in mud like two little mud monkeys, and just like that, they were doing something with mud without realizing it.
When Cui'er saw the two little mud monkeys, she really had a bitter smile, especially when Xiaohu handed the lump of mud in her hand like a treasure in her hand, looking at his bright eyes, Cui'er's anger that was afraid of them catching a cold also disappeared in an instant.
"Didn't you say playing on the bricks? How did you run down? Cui'er stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohu's forehead, "It's still cold after the rain, let's go inside and drink a bowl of hot water to warm up, okay?" Cui'er looked at Xiaohu, who didn't have a clean place on her body, and looked up at the big girl who was standing a little cramped.
The girl's head was slightly lowered, and the two little hands rubbed each other uneasily, and part of the dried dirt fell down. The eldest girl's heart struggled, knowing that it was wrong for her to take her brother out to play if she was not obedient, but she did not resist the temptation to play with mud...... The big girl knew clearly in her heart that she had done something wrong, and she couldn't muster up the courage to look up at Cui'er, and she couldn't say anything if she apologized for her mistake.
"Big girl, are there ants on the ground?" Cui'er suddenly said to the big girl.
"Huh? What the? The big girl was struggling, her little face was wrinkled, she heard Cui'er's words, she didn't react to what she said, she subconsciously raised her head to look at Cui'er, but found that she was looking at herself with a narrow face.
"I said, are there ants on the ground, if you don't look at the ants, why don't you keep your head down and don't lift them up?" Cui'er winked at the big girl and said.
"I ......" Seeing Cui'er's expression, the big girl instantly understood that Cui'er was not angry, her heart instantly became much more stable, and she immediately realized that she needed to apologize for her mistake, "Mother, I was playful, I didn't listen to you and ran out with my brother to play, I'm sorry ......"
"If you know that you can change your mistakes, you are a good child. It's not a bad thing for a big girl to be playful, but you shouldn't run out just after the rain, you are still young, and your body is not as strong as your father's mother, and when the weather is good, let's play together again, okay? ”
"Good!" When the big girl heard this, her eyes lit up, her mother didn't blame herself, and said that she could play together in the future.
"Okay, okay, let's go into the house, it's ......still cold after the rain," Cui'er said, pulling the big girl with one hand and Xiaohu with the other hand to walk into the house, of course, pulling their clothes and hands...... I can't watch it anymore.
boiled hot water and boiled ginger soup for them to drink, and washed the two small ones from head to toe, covered them with quilts, Cui'er and Lian Qingshan themselves washed well, and the family sat in the house looking at the rainbow outside, and the mood was particularly comfortable.
