When mixing mud, many people wore big knee-high boots and kicked vigorously in the muddy water so that they could be even.

Then use a big shovel to shovel up a shovel of muddy water, turn it back and forth, and finally save it into a big mud pile for later use.

It can't be used right now, and it has to be left for at least one night until the mud and water are mixed and sticky before it can be used to remove the mold.

There is also a special tool for taking off the blank, a blank mold with only four frames nailed together.

Place the blank mold on the flat ground, pour mud into it, wipe the surface twice with a mud board, and then gently pull out the blank mold upwards, a long strip of adobe is ready, and it can be used after it dries in the shade.

Therefore, stripping can also be called rolling.

This job is definitely tiring and dirty.But everyone worked very hard, because the greenhouse brought them hope that they had never had before.

At noon, Liu Qingshan came home with a suit of clay, just about to take a shower, when he found the sound of water rushing in the simple shed.

He hurriedly leaned against the window and asked Shan Xing who was on the table in the room, it turned out that the eldest sister was taking a bath inside.

So Liu Qingshan simply washed his hands and face, and prepared to go to the natural bathhouse to take a bubble after eating.

It is now August, the hottest season of the year, and the river is scorching hot, making bathing the most comfortable.

Lunch is stewed beans, although there is no meat, but with meat oil, small oil bubbles formed on the surface of the beans, very appetizing.

As for the staple food, it is also very good. When the beans are stewed, the big pancakes are steamed on top. This thing is commonly known as "beans covered with quilts".

Especially the circle attached to the side of the pot, the golden crust is baked, and it is still stained with vegetable soup, which is the most fragrant.

Liu Qingshan broke off a piece of crispy rice for Sifeng and Shan Xing, and then shouted at Gao Wenxue who was lying on the desk on the floor: "Brother-in-law, it's time to eat!"

Gao Wenxue reluctantly put down the pen in his hand, while eating, he was still nagging, discussing the plot with Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan is not good at specific writing, but he has a wide range of ideas, and he really made a lot of suggestions.

While the two were talking, they heard a timid voice: "Eldest brother-in-law, third brother, I will go to school and enter university in the future."

It's Shan Xing, the little guy has been listening, because she knows that this book was written for her by her elder brother-in-law.

Liu Qingshan patted her little head, and broke a piece of pancake dipped in vegetable soup for her: "Yes, our Shanxing is the most ambitious, and I will definitely be admitted to university."

"Then I want to go to college with Shan Xing." The little fourth was unwilling to be lonely, and raised his little hand.

"Then you have to study hard. In a few days, you will be in the first grade."

Liu Qingshan looked at the two little girls dotingly, thinking in his heart: In a few days, he has to go to the commune or the county to buy two sets of stationery.

When the two little girls were full, they took their little hands and went to the garden, gathered some water barnyard grass and the like, put them into a small basket, and went to feed the sika deer.

The sika deer is taken care of by them every day, and the injury is recovering well, and they are getting closer to the two little girls.

However, he was still not very friendly to Liu Qingshan, and greeted each other with antlers, and Liu Qingshan had to walk around it.

After finding out a change of clothes and carrying them in a basket, Liu Qingshan went to the river to take a bath.

From the west end of the village to the east end of the village, the team expanded to more than a dozen people, all of them were middle-aged and old, and there were a few old men who had been working with Dani all morning, because they had a rest in the afternoon, so Came to take a shower.

A few steps out of the village is a small bridge, through which a winding river flows. This river has no name.

Because it is a small tributary of the Songhua River, everyone just calls it Xiaosongjiang.

These days, the river water is not polluted, and the water quality is very clear. Because following the adults, safety is guaranteed, so all the children of half age jumped into the water with a splash.

While washing and washing, I don't know who picked the head, so I started to fight with water.

Or squat in a big tank, which is also a very fun event, that is, the whole body is submerged in the water, and it is a competition to see who can hold their breath for the longest time.

In addition, there is a game that children of half age like most: the name cannot be verified, it is to stick a piece of mud on the railing of the small bridge, about two meters high.

Then the little ones lined up and started pissing to see who could get the slime off.

This game is not for young chickens.

"Brother Dajiang, you come to play too."

The big head is really big, and he is still yelling at his uncle and brother Zhang Dajiang in the water.

Dazhang Luo, who provoked him to take a bath, laughed loudly: "Brother Dajiang married a wife last year, and put water guns under the bed every day, but you can't practice this."

Zhang Dajiang also blushed: "Uncle Zhang Luo, why are you becoming more and more dishonest as you get older?"

Those half-children who seemed to understand half understood also giggled, and the river was full of joy.

"Big head, help me touch some clams."

Liu Qingshan saw that there were many people, so he just yelled for help.

Clams grow in the sand at the bottom of the river. You have to step on them bit by bit with your feet. When you find something hard under your feet, you plunge down and scoop them up. Except for pebbles, they are clams.

For these middle-aged and middle-aged children, this is not a problem, just like playing, pick up one, and throw it on the grass on the bank. After a while, it piles up into a hill.

This is still throwing the small ones back into the water.

Liu Qingshan also had a childlike innocence. He hadn't played this kind of childhood trick for many years, so he also touched clams together.

When I caught a big one, just after it got out of the water, a jet of water hit the face. This is a way for the clam to protect itself, and it can shoot water.

The technology is a bit rusty, so it must not be sprayed, Liu Qingshan was sprayed in the face, and it also made the friends around laugh for a while.

Of course he didn't care, but found it interesting.

When I went back, I had to go back and forth several times before I brought all the clams home. Several people sat on the small bench and began to pick the clam meat.

People in the village generally don't eat this stuff, because they think it's too much oil. If you don't put oil, the fishy smell is too strong.

The ladles of clams are all closed, they cannot be opened by hand, and they are easy to scratch, so they must be put in the sun for a while, and when they are slightly opened, the blade is inserted in, the adductor muscle is cut off, and then it is divided into two halves.

Specially cut off the meat of the ax foot, beat it with a hammer or a wooden stick until it becomes loose, cut it into thin slices, put it in the water and blanch it lightly, and then it can be fried and eaten.

It is best to put some red dried chili, which is very enjoyable to eat.

In addition, this month is the breeding season of river mussels. If it is a female, there will be yellow children after breaking open. This tastes more delicious, not much worse than crab roe.

The three of them skillfully peeled the mussel meat, and squatting beside Liu Caifeng and Shan Xing'er, they also helped clean up the mussel meat and cut off the inedible parts.

"Wow, what a beautiful little ball!"

Suddenly, Xiao Caifeng cheered.

Liu Qingshan followed the prestige, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

On the fingertips of Xiao Lao Si, there was a round bead about the size of a quail egg, which emitted a yellow halo under the sunlight.

Chapter 38 Dilemma

"pearl!"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but screamed.

To be precise, it should be called Dongzhu, which belongs to freshwater pearls, so as to distinguish it from Nanzhu.

Such a big natural east bead can already be called a precious bead, and it is very valuable. Unexpectedly, it is so lucky.

Among the East Pearls, the golden ones are the most precious, and they are regarded as the royal atmosphere. In the Qing Dynasty, they were used exclusively by the royal family.

Because the Qing Dynasty made its fortune in the Northeast, it has a special affection for Dongzhu, which also led to the over-exploitation of Dongzhu, which has disappeared for a long time.

"Brother, it was Shan Xing who discovered it first."

Little Lao Si was not greedy for merit at all, so he put this big pearl in Shan Xing's palm.

Closer observation, the beauty of this eastern bead can be noticed even more: the particles are round and golden in color, and it seems to really shine in the sun, exuding a fascinating light golden halo.

It feels foggy, like a mirage, beautiful and unreal.

Shan Xing carefully pinched the pearl with her thumb and forefinger, and soon, her big eyes also became foggy.

Two big teardrops flowed from the corners of his eyes, shining like pearls.

Sifeng didn't know why the little girl was crying, so he could only put his arms around Shanxing's neck: "Wufeng, don't cry, don't cry."

The apricot at this moment reminded Liu Qingshan of a picture in his memory: Xiaoyingzi in the old story in the south of the city.

In Liu Qingshan's ears, the melodious sound of bagpipes even echoed: Life is rarely a happy gathering, only parting is more...

He knows that the little guy misses his mother: in the little guy's heart, mother's love is as precious as pearls.

What a sensitive little girl.

"Wufeng, I will give this pearl to you. Treasure it well and keep it in your heart forever, okay?"

Liu Qingshan also caressed the little guy's head affectionately, I really hope she can have more joy every day.

At this moment, the little old four was confused, she gestured a few times with her hands on her chest, raised her face and asked, "Brother, how can you put things in your heart?"

And Shan Xing also raised her face, wiping away the teardrops on her face shyly, and suddenly smiled: "Brother, I don't want it, just let me have a look."

Because the little guy's hands were dirty when he was cleaning the clams just now, he wiped it like a little cat in no time.

However, in Liu Qingshan's feeling, with this smile, the whole sky is clear.

He couldn't help rubbing her head vigorously again: "Take it if you tell me, this is a gift from your mother. Wear it on your body, and your mother will always be by your side."

Ah!

Shan Xing agreed in a low voice, then held the pearl tightly in his palm, and hugged Liu Qingshan's arm very attached.

It was around this time that she really regarded Liu Qingshan as her brother, a good brother who could protect her sister.

Liu Qingshan stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped her little nose: "Xiao Wu, you should smile more in the future, girls who love to smile will be blessed in the future."

"alright!"

This time, Shan Xing's answer was much crisper, and her heart was even sweeter.

"Brother, you haven't answered me yet!"

Sifeng refused, but also hugged Liu Qingshan's other arm, shaking it vigorously.

Liu Qingshan didn't feel annoyed at all, on the contrary, he enjoyed Sifeng's clinginess, he thought for a while and said, "This principle is like the toffee you want, when you can't get it, do you think about it every day, Isn't that just in your heart?"

To deal with snacks, you have to start with what you eat.

The little fourth seemed to understand, and then whispered, covering his mouth with his little hand, trying to get close to Liu Qingshan's ear, expressing that he had something to say in a whisper.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to bend down to cooperate with her, and the fourth child murmured in a low voice: "Brother, let me tell you, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law always hide under the covers and eat candy at night, and they must eat rubber candies..."

Cough, Liu Qingshan was completely speechless, secretly decided in his heart: the family must build a new house in the coming year.

After Liu Qingshan and the others finished peeling the clam shells, Liu Jinfeng, who was dexterous, had already finished the pearls. On the outside, they used red silk thread to weave four thin silk threads to wrap the pearls.

There are red tassels hanging below, and two threads lead out from the top, which are tied around the neck of the mountain apricot, and it becomes a simple pearl pendant.

This time, the little fourth was so envious, he kept yelling: "Brother, I want it too, I want it too!"

Liu Qingshan really had a trick, he went to the four tigers playing on the road, and asked for a flower petal glass ball, and asked the elder sister to make one for the youngest, and put it on happily.

However, the clingy fourth brother also reminded Liu Qingshan: Since the water quality of the Xiaosongjiang River is so good, maybe we can start pearl farming in the future.

Yes, next time you go to Spring City, ask Professor Wang if they have studied this technology in their university.

While he was thinking about it, the two little girls held hands and went out to show off together. After a while, the whole village knew: Shan Xing found a big pearl, which looked good on it.

Everyone boasted a few words, but didn't say anything gossip.It would be different if it was an adult who was greedy for this pearl.

There is also such an unwritten rule in the countryside: Generally, if such unowned treasures are within the scope of the village, they are the common property of everyone.

At most, after selling it, whoever finds it can get a little more.

If you dare to take it all by yourself, once the villagers know about it, then you don't have to live in the village in the future, and you will directly declare that you are socially dead in the village.

On the contrary, a child like Shan Xing can hold it without any problem.

Besides, everyone knows Shan Xing's life experience, who would care about such a poor child?

Liu Qingshan was fine at home, so he also went out for a walk. When he came to the avenue, he saw a large group of people sitting under the big elm trees outside the village to enjoy the shade.

It was too hot in the afternoon, so I stopped work, and I was going to wait for a while after dinner to cool down.

In the summer, they rushed to work early in the morning and late at night.

Liu Qingshan just strolled over and heard everyone talking about buying rapeseed and so on.

Seeing him coming, the old branch secretary waved to him: "Qingshan, come here and figure out what is going to be planted in this greenhouse, so let's prepare rapeseed as soon as possible."

They are all old tricks, and in some respects, they are even more thoughtful than Liu Qingshan.

For example, rapeseed is an important issue that Liu Qingshan ignored.
