Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 132: Pasting New Year Pictures (1/2)

There were really not many cans in one bottle, so Liu Qingshan simply pried open another bottle and distributed it to everyone.

Canned food sold for one yuan per bottle at that time, which was really not cheap, so children in rural areas could hardly eat it once or twice a year.

When I heard about eating canned food, I was naturally excited. Even if I had a minor illness, I immediately became energetic and my illness was half recovered first.

There were two empty cans and bottles left, which were washed by Shan Xing and said to be kept for the Chinese New Year to be used as small lanterns.

Seeing that it was a bit late today, Liu Qingshan touched her little head and said, "Brother will make lanterns for you tomorrow."

When I came back from the mountain the next day, I found that the fourth child was alive and kicking again. It seemed that the treatment with canned fruits was effective.

Liu Qingshan ate a few cornmeal pancakes and drank a bowl of pickled cabbage soup. Shan Xing placed two clean cans and bottles in front of Liu Qingshan.

During the Chinese New Year here, children from every household will carry small lanterns and rush from the east house to the west house.

At that time, there was a special kind of colorful candle, about the thickness of a little finger and ten centimeters long. The little children called this candle "kowtow", and they didn't know what it meant.

Maybe it’s because it’s relatively short, and it’s burned out within the time it takes to kowtow, right?

Stick this kind of small candle to the bottom of the jar, tie a noose around the mouth of the bottle with hemp rope, and use a small wicker stick to hold it, and a small lantern is ready.

But this is just a basic one, and the small candle inside is easy to pour. The one Liu Qingshan made for his two sisters today is a relatively advanced one.

The most important thing is to remove the bottom of the can. You can put the bottle outside to freeze for two hours, then pour hot water into the bottle, and the bottom of the bottle will explode.

However, if you do this, you cannot control the explosion of the bottle, and it will often fall apart directly, and a can bottle will be scrapped.

Liu Qingshan had an idea. He took off the cotton thread from the thread board, folded it in half several times, and soaked it in kerosene.

Then wrap it around slightly above the bottom of the bottle.

"Lao Wu, light the fire!"

Shan Xing held the matchbox and was ready at that moment. He immediately struck a match and lit the string.

With a hula, the whole circle of cotton threads burned.

The most critical moment came when Liu Qingshan turned the bottom of the can down and plunged it into a basin of cold water next to him.

With a crisp click, the bottom of the bottle fell off.

I took out the canning bottle, and the breaks were neat and perfect.

Yang Hongying next to her was stunned for a moment: "Sanfeng'er, I didn't expect that you still have such ability?"

After speaking, he asked the fourth and fifth lao: "Cai Feng, Shan Xing, can you explain the scientific principles behind this?"

These two are still too young now, so of course they can’t explain it clearly. They just know that it has something to do with hot and cold.

Yang Hongying told them about the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The fourth child really understood it and asked with his big eyes:

"Sister, there will be cracks on the ground in the winter, but not in the summer. Is it because of this?"

The little guy can draw inferences from one instance, which is amazing.

Yang Hongying also patted her little head to show encouragement.

Shan Xing, who was next to him, added: "Sister, Caifeng and I were playing glass balls yesterday, and one of her flowered glass balls rolled into a crack in the ground."

While the sisters were chatting, Liu Qingshan continued to work. He used a saw to pull out two wooden boards that were slightly larger than the bottom of the can. This wooden board replaced the original bottle bottom.

A thin iron nail is driven into the middle, and about one centimeter of length is exposed. This is used to insert candles.

Thread iron wire on both sides, and pass the iron wire through the can bottle to secure the can bottle.

Bend a small loop at the top of the wire to tie the rope, and finally connect it to a small smooth wicker stick, and a small portable lantern is ready.

Liu Yinfeng also came over to help. She cut some big red carps and butterflies out of colored paper and decorated them around the bottle to make the small lantern more beautiful.

The other one did the same thing, and after finishing it, the two little girls ran out with it, eager to show off the new toy to the other friends.

"It's still daylight."

Liu Qingshan shouted, but did not call them, and simply ignored them.

At this time, Linzhi had already poured a large pot of glue. It was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and he had to quickly paste the wall.

The newspapers have been bought from the brigade and shipped back from Spring City.

After pinching a bunch of rice noodles and placing them on the dining table, Liu Yinfeng took the bamboo brush head and began to brush rice noodles on the paper.

Yang Hongying held the finished newspapers in her hands and handed them to Liu Qingshan who was standing on the bench, and he pasted them one by one on the shed.

Paste the shed first, then the walls, this order cannot be wrong.

The tape recorder on the cabinet lid also played an English tape, and Liu Yinfeng muttered a few words from time to time.

Liu Qingshan always feels a little awkward when listening to English tapes while working: "Sister, second sister, I almost fell asleep listening to it, can you play a tape of songs?"

Well, Liu Yinfeng was really worried about throwing his brother, so he changed the tape, and then there was still a burst of Ingrid.

She brushed the long hair around her ears with her hands and gave Liu Qingshan a helpless look.

Still Yang Hongying smiled and changed another tape, and said: "Yinfeng, you can't just think about studying, pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

Accompanied by a familiar whistle, a relaxed and happy singing voice with a hint of sadness floated out of the tape recorder:

On the banyan tree beside the pond, cicadas are calling for summer...

Liu Qingshan remembered that this song "Childhood" was released the year before last, but he didn't expect it to be spread so quickly.

It seems that the pace of the times has accelerated, and they have to keep up with the pace of development in Jiapigou. wAp.

While thinking about it, the door opened, and the fourth and fifth sons ran in with a group of snotty kids, each holding a can in their hands, shouting for Liu Qingshan to help them make lanterns.

There was also a man wiping tears, Er Niuzi, who had nothing in his hands because he couldn't find a can at home.

At that time, not every family could find a spare can.

Liu Yinfeng replaced Liu Qingshan, and the eldest brother-in-law was responsible for brushing the paste. Liu Qingshan was surrounded by a group of little guys. It was estimated that these cans would be enough for him to work until dark.

This won't work, we must hire helpers, so Si Huzi was sent to call Zhang Piezi.

This time it was much easier, Liu Qingshan only had to be responsible for blasting the bottom of the bottle, and the rest of the work was all done by Zhang Piezi, which greatly improved the efficiency.

After making one, the little kids ran out happily, and soon ran back again. The small lanterns were tied with ropes and picked up with willow sticks.

The rest of these simple ones can be made by yourself.

In the room, the sound of the song "Childhood" echoed, and Liu Qingshan could also feel the happy childhood of the little kids around him.

Maybe they didn't have watercolor crayons and kaleidoscopes, but their spiritual life was much richer than that of children in later generations.

Nature is their playground.

Homemade earthen toys can also bring happiness.

And this kind of happiness is often not bought with money.

"Brother-in-law, brush quickly."

Liu Yinfeng's voice sounded in the room. Liu Qingshan glanced at it and shook his head.

I saw that the brother-in-law was holding a brush in his hand, brushing the paste while mumbling to himself and reading the newspaper.

The kids also covered their mouths and giggled, so Yang Hongying took the opportunity to teach them: "Don't laugh. Without this spirit of serious study, how can you become a writer?"

In Liu Qingshan's view, his elder brother-in-law and his second sister Liu Yinfeng are almost the same kind of people. The common characteristics of these people are:

Only when you are obsessed with something can you achieve something.

After pasting the wall at home, they also paste the wall at grandpa's house. The group worked for a whole day before the wall was finished.

After pasting the new newspapers, the room was bright and bright when the lights were turned on.

"Paste the New Year pictures, paste the New Year pictures!"

The fourth child couldn't wait any longer, holding the three-headed and six-armed Nezha, and kept shouting.

"I said, why do I feel like something is missing on the wall."

Liu Qingshan muttered to himself, without the New Year pictures, the wall looked awkward.

He still remembered that there were a few years when he was a child when his family had no money and didn't buy New Year pictures for the New Year.

It was his mother who took a small piece of steamed bun and wiped the surface of the old New Year pictures carefully.

The dust on the New Year pictures was taken off by the steamed bread crumbs, and the New Year pictures became bright and beautiful again, just like new ones.

This year, many New Year pictures were bought. On the kang of my grandfather's house, there is a picture of an old birthday star riding a deer, and a fat boy holding a birthday peach, which is very funny.

"This sika deer is the same as the big deer!"

Shanxing pointed at the sika deer in the picture, and her little face was full of excitement.

"Deer are a symbol of good luck and longevity, so people like sika deer."

Liu Shikui also smiled and felt very satisfied with this picture.

As an elderly person, who doesn't want to live longer?

Little Lao Si tilted his head and thought for a while: "Grandpa, next time the big deer comes, you can ride it for a turn, and you will definitely become an old birthday star."

Haha!

Liu Shikui was so happy that he hugged Lao Si and kissed her on the cheek.

Another picture was a fairy, also holding a plate of birthday peaches.

Liu Qingshan initially thought it was the Seven Fairies picking peaches, but Shanxing read the name of the New Year painting and realized it was "Magu Offering Longevity".

The fourth child looked at the fairy's face for a long time, and said in confusion: "Why don't I see any pockmarks on Magu's face?"

Are there fairies with pockmarks?

Even Yang Hongying was amused by her: "The fairy Magu became a fairy because she practiced in Magu Mountain, not because she had pockmarks on her face."

After thinking for a while, she added: "It is said that she experienced the sea turning into mulberry fields three times."

"Amazing, how long would that take!"

Shanxing also widened her eyes and was very surprised.

"So it is a symbol of longevity. Generally speaking, when celebrating the birthday of an old grandfather, people like to use the old birthday star; when celebrating the birthday of a female elderly person, like our grandmother, it is best to use Magu."

Yang Hongying told the story, and even Liu Qingshan learned something.

In this atmosphere, Yang Hongying suddenly felt that she really regarded this place as her home now.

After pasting the New Year pictures at her grandfather's house, she continued pasting them at her own home. On the wall above the kang, there was naturally the Nezha Conquers the Dragon King by the little old man.

Seeing the little old man holding a feather duster as a fire spear and Shanxing holding a hand towel as a mixed sky silk, Liu Qingshan grinned: "It's time to make trouble, right?"

There were also several pictures pasted on the ground, and the house looked even more festive.

After they decorated it with their own hands, the house looked brand new. Doing it yourself also feels different.

Decorating life with your own hands, isn't the flavor of the New Year contained in this?

March, early spring.

The gloomy sky was gray and black, revealing a heavy depression, as if someone had splashed ink on rice paper, and the ink soaked the sky and smudged the clouds.

The clouds overlapped and blended with each other, diffusing crimson lightning, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

It was like the roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red blood rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that were bustling in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy at this moment.

Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remained, unable to distinguish one from the other, shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.
