He Changji's bunk bed has reached the final stage of manufacture, and when it is completed, his carpentry work will come to an end.
Shao Qingyi is going to take another bag of vegetarian meat that Mrs. Song's husband gave them yesterday to Shao's house today.
Shao Qingyi originally wanted to let the two children stay at home, but the two children said they were worried about going to the grandparents' house alone with their mother and father, and they insisted on going with them, so Shao Qingyi could only follow their wishes.
When she arrived at Shao's house, Shao Qingyi was surprised to find that the gate of Shao's house was much neater and brighter than the last time she came back.
Is this finally remembering to clean up?
The door of Shao's house was wide open today, and Shao Qingyi walked in directly with the two children.
As soon as she entered the gate, Shao Qingyi saw Shao's father, who was drunk in the past, beating a big rock with a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other. Because he was so focused, he didn't notice Shao Qingyi and Cheng Pingcheng. Ann and his group.
"Father." Shao Qingyi called out.
The two children also shouted: "Grandpa!"
Only then did Father Shao find out that Shao Qingyi and the two children had arrived.
There was a joyful expression on his face, and he responded to the calls of the two children with a smile: "Hey, good boy! Come in and sit down for a while, your grandma is cooking sour plum soup, it will be ready soon, you just can drink."
Although Father Shao told him last time that he wanted to change his mind, pick up the craftsmanship of his ancestors again, and carry it forward.
But since the last time, Shao Qingyi has never been to Shao's house, so she didn't know that Shao's father really did what he said, and started working hard!
It's just that I don't know how long Father Shao's enthusiasm can last...
"Is mother in the kitchen?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"Yes." Father Shao nodded.
"Okay, then I'll take the two children to the kitchen to find her." Shao Qingyi immediately said, "It just so happens that these vegetarian meats also have to be put in the kitchen."
"That's fine, then you go." Father Shao nodded.
Shao Qingyi followed the direction in memory, turned left and right in the corridor of Shao's house, and found the location of the kitchen.
At this time, Mother Shao was sitting on the bench, looking at the fire with a sad expression on her face.
"Mother." Shao Qingyi called her.
Seeing Shao Qingyi's arrival, Shao's mother was overjoyed: "Qingyi, you came just in time, I have something to discuss with you!"
"What's the matter?" Shao Qingyi put the cloth bag on the table and asked suspiciously.
Shao's mother stood up, leaned close to Shao Qingyi's ear, and said in a low voice: "Your father, he is crazy!"
"Crazy?" Shao Qingyi was taken aback, then he frowned and said, "I just saw that Dad is doing well?"
"Let me tell you, since a few days ago, he seems to be a different person, suddenly saying that he wants to quit drinking." Mother Shao said with a worried face.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Shao Qingyi wondered.
"Yeah, I also thought it was a good thing at the time!" Shao's mother nodded, "And he also said that he would take over the masonry job again. It sounds like a good thing, doesn't it?"
Shao Qingyi nodded, quit drinking again, changed her mind and started working again, of course this is a good thing?
"But the day before yesterday, your father suddenly asked Qingcheng to follow him to learn stonemasonry, and even gave him a big stone cruelly, and asked him to chisel it off within a week!" Mother Shao said sadly, "We Qingcheng I’m going to leave this small mountain village in the future to get ahead! Isn’t your father ruining his future!”
"This..." Shao Qingyi really didn't know what to say when she heard the words.
Shao's mother continued: "These days, Tianqing has become the task that your father entrusted to him, and he even missed his homework!"
"Then did you reflect this situation with Dad?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"That's why I said your father is crazy! He even dared to scold me!" Shao's mother was terrified when she mentioned this, "I just went to someone's field to pick two melons, and your father beat me to death!" There are so many melons in their fields, and it would be a waste not to pick them, yet he said that my behavior is shameless? Hmph, these years, if I hadn’t been smart enough, how could I have raised you all? What's more, he also told me not to go to Qingyi's house if I have nothing to do. Heh, he is really old and confused! You are my son, why should I not go to your son's house, right? "
Shao's mother obviously had a lot of things in her heart that no one could confide in, so as soon as Shao Qingyi came, he caught Shao Qingyi to complain.
Shao Qingyi couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when she heard what Shao's mother said. The "picking melons" that Shao's mother said should be stealing melons, right?However, Shao's father really started to discipline Shao's mother as he said?Shao's father has never cared about Shao's mother for so many years. It is not so easy to make Shao's mother listen to him!
"Do you think your father is crazy? He has never been so fierce to me since I entered the house." Shao's mother said aggrievedly, "I worked hard to give birth to two children for him and helped him raise them." For so many years, he didn’t do anything but drink. I married into their family and didn’t have a good day! Now he is fine, he stopped drinking, and started to do his work. I thought I Finally, I was able to live a good life, but in the end, I started to play tricks on me! Qingyi, why do you think being a mother is so hard!"
Listening to Shao's mother's wronged complaints, Shao Qingyi felt somewhat complicated emotions in her heart.
Although only [-]% of Shao's mother can listen to what Shao's mother said, it is true that Shao's father has not taken the responsibility of husband and father for so many years. Whether it is the children or the trivial matters at home, Shao's mother alone solves them.
Although Shao's mother is mean, she has done her duty, which is much better than the previous irresponsible Shao's father.
Now Shao's father said to change and he changed, and when he said to discipline, he disciplined. No wonder Shao's mother couldn't adapt and thought he was crazy.
"So, didn't you communicate with Dad?" Shao Qingyi continued to ask.
"I'm worried about being scolded by him again!" Mother Shao said embarrassingly.
Upon hearing this, Shao Qingyi finally understood.
It turns out that Shao's mother is also a bully.Before Shao's father had been letting her knead, she had to make an inch.Now that Shao's father is hardened, she dare not confront him head-on.
Shao Qingyi thought for a while, and then asked: "Then what does Qingcheng himself think?"
"Hey, Qingcheng, I don't know if he is bewitched like your father. He said that he wants to learn the ancestral skills, and asked for a five-day leave with his master behind my back. He is probably in his room right now. Competing against that broken rock!" Shao's mother became even more angry when she mentioned this, why do the two in the family seem to be bewitched?
Hearing this, Shao Qingyi replied: "How about this, mother, I'll go talk to Qing Cheng first, see what he thinks, and then talk to Father."
"Okay, okay!" Shao's mother smiled when she heard it, "Since I went to the county with you last time, Qingcheng is very convinced by your words. Your persuasion will be more effective than my persuasion!"
As soon as Shao Qingyi heard Shao's mother's words, she knew that she had misunderstood what she meant. He thought for a while and said, "Mother, I may not be able to persuade you to succeed. Anyway, I will go to Qingcheng's room first and talk to Qingcheng. Let’s talk, let’s see what he thinks in his heart. Besides, this is vegetarian meat on the table, so you can just cook it and eat it according to the way of dried tofu.”
"Okay." Shao's mother was concerned about Shao Qingcheng's affairs in her heart, she was not interested in vegetarian meat at all, she just kept urging, "Go quickly, go and persuade your brother, don't let him go astray! "
Although Shao Qingyi didn't think that learning ancestral craftsmanship was going astray, but if Shao Qing became a stonemason and gave up his studies, Shao Qingyi would also feel that it would be a pity, so he nodded, and then took the children to Shao Qingcheng's room.
The door of Shao Qingcheng's room was tightly closed, and crisp knocking sounds could be heard from inside the room.
Shao Qingyi tried to push open the door, but found that Shao Qingcheng had locked the door behind her.
"Dong dong dong—" So Shao Qingyi knocked on the door, "Qingcheng, open the door."
The knocking sound inside stopped, and Shao Qingyi heard Shao Qingcheng's doubtful voice: "Second brother?"
"It's me." Shao Qingyi replied.
Only then did Shao Qingcheng pull out the latch of the door, and opened the door: "Second brother, why are you here?"
Shao Qingyi walked into the room and found that the room was full of flying powder, so she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and at the same time prevented the two children from entering.
He opened all the closed windows in Shao Qingcheng's room, picked up the cattail fan hanging on the wall, and fanned away the dust in the house. Then he let the children in, and said to Shao Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, why did you mess up the room?" It’s like this? So much dust, don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
Shao Qingcheng probably hasn't had a good rest these days, his face is a little pale, and the dark circles under his eyes have come out, he said awkwardly: "It will be fine if you get used to it."
Shao Qingyi shook her head in disapproval: "Even if you really want to inherit the handicraft from your family, there's no need to lock yourself in the room to work, right? Why don't you move this stone out and carve in the yard with Dad? "
"Because my mother is always nagging in my ear, so I can only move the stone into the house." Shao Qingcheng scratched his head and said, "By the way, second brother, you are not here to be a lobbyist for my mother, are you? "
Shao Qingyi shook her head: "I'm just wondering why you gave up your studies all of a sudden?"
"I didn't give up my studies..." Shao Qingcheng's expression became complicated when he heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I just, I just don't want to disappoint Dad."
Seeing Shao Qingyi's puzzled face, Shao Qingcheng continued to explain: "Before, Dad told me a lot. He said that he had been muddled all these years, accomplished nothing, and had done many things that he regretted. He said, I hope I can try Let's learn the ancestral stonemason craft."
"So, for the sake of father's happiness, you asked your master for leave?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"That's right...Actually, I've been a little tired and confused about going to school recently..." Shao Qingcheng said, his tone lowered, "A few days ago, a brother I have always admired returned to the village. According to the master, This senior brother has accomplished a lot in his studies, works in Fucheng, and lives a prosperous life. This is also an example of what my mother has always taught me, as long as I study hard, I can go to the county town to live a good life."
Shao Qingyi nodded: "Isn't that great?"
"However, after I asked that senior brother, I realized that he was just working as an accountant in a store." Shao Qingcheng said disappointedly, "Although an accountant is a respectable job...but it is not the same as the one I imagined. It seems that the difference is too far..."
"What do you think about getting ahead?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"Well, at least he has to be like a big brother, the one who has a group of people under his command?" Shao Qingcheng replied.
After Shao Qingyi heard this, it was clear that Shao Qingcheng had doubts about the purpose and necessity of studying hard after seeing Shao Qingning's power.
"So, you just want to inherit the craftsmanship at home?" Shao Qingyi continued to ask.
"At least give it a try...and father really hopes that I can inherit the family's craftsmanship." Shao Qingcheng replied.
"How do you feel after trying it for the past few days?" Shao Qingyi said, looking at the very conspicuous big stone on the table.
A pit has been chiseled into the stone, but it will take a long time to go through.
"It feels like being a stonemason is quite tiring, and it's not as easy as going to school." Shao Qingcheng said, squeezing his arms, "My hands are so sore these days when chiseling. Dad said these are just basic skills, and my foundation is too weak. Poor, you have to practice the basic skills well before you can truly inherit this craft."
"As for me, I'm not here to be a lobbyist. I just want to know what you think." Shao Qingyi explained, "Nothing is easy, whether it's going to school or inheriting the family business, if you want to achieve something, You have to work hard.”
"Second brother, you are right..." Shao Qingcheng became even more depressed when he heard the words, "Actually, I don't know what I want to do. My mother told me before that I should study hard and live in the county. The life in Wan Village is pretty good too...and after listening to that senior brother talk about his life, I found that the county town is not good, he still misses the days in Shuiwan Village very much!"
"Since you have figured it out, go and explain it to your mother yourself." Shao Qingyi suggested after hearing the words, "Actually, if you are really determined, you can learn from both sides at the same time."
"Yeah, I think so too!" Shao Qingcheng nodded and said, "I've thought about it when I'm at home these few days, I still like to go to school, I really enjoy the time with my wife and my classmates. In a few days, when my vacation is over, I will go back to school. I will also learn from my dad. After all, I can’t completely cut off the craftsmanship of my ancestors. Even if the craftsmanship is not perfect in the end, I know the basic skills and skills. At any rate, it can be taught to future generations.”
Shao Qingyi didn't expect Shao Qingcheng to have thought so much.
It seems that after not seeing each other for a few days, Shao Qingcheng has indeed grown a lot.
Shao Qingyi nodded in relief, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the powder next to the big rock on the table.
These powders should have been chiseled out and piled up by Shao Qingcheng.
This powder... looks familiar...
Thinking this way, Shao Qingyi walked to the table, glued some with her fingers, and looked at it carefully.
Why is this powder so much like limestone powder? !
Shao Qingyi looked at the stone on the table in surprise. So, this stone is limestone?
Shao Qingyi turned her head in surprise and asked Shao Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, do you know where this stone was mined from?"
Shao Qingcheng didn't know why the second brother suddenly asked this, but he still shook his head: "I don't know, this is what Dad gave it to me. Is there any question?"
Shao Qingyi didn't care about explaining, and hurried out to ask Father Shao: "Father, where did you mine that stone you gave Qingcheng?"
Shao's father was suddenly interrupted by Shao Qingyi, who was in a hurry, and he was stunned for a while. It took him a while to realize what the stone he was talking about was, and he replied: "That stone, it was moved on a hill near the village. Come. By the way, that hill is quite close to your house."
"Which mountain?" Shao Qingyi continued to ask eagerly.
"Little Bald Mountain." Father Shao replied.
Little Bald Mountain?Shao Qingyi remembered that when she first came here, she took her two children to dig wild vegetables in Xiaotu Mountain.
So, the reason why Xiaobald Mountain is so bald is precisely because of this kind of limestone underneath?
This conjecture made Shao Qingyi instantly excited.
He wished he could go to Xiaobald Mountain to check immediately, but he finally remembered that there was something unresolved.
He suppressed his excitement and eagerness, and said to Shao's father: "Father, are you going to let Qingcheng inherit the family's craftsmanship?"
"That's right... Qingcheng is the only man in your generation. I thought, I have only half-learned this skill. If I don't let Qingcheng get in touch with it sooner, this ancestor's skill will be lost." Father Shao said When I mentioned this incident, I became sad.
"I chatted with Qing Cheng just now, and he said that he still wants to go back to school." Shao Qingyi said.
"Is that so..." Shao's father was startled, the movements of his hands paused, and after a while, he began to chisel the stone again, "Alright, I heard from your mother that Qingcheng is very talented in reading, maybe he can go This road is also a good thing for him..."
Even though he said so, Shao's father's expression was obviously a lot lost.
Shao Qingyi added with a smile: "Qingcheng said that he can go to school during the day and study with you at home at night."
"Really, really?" Father Shao raised his head in surprise when he heard this.
"Yeah." Shao Qingyi nodded, "Qingcheng doesn't want the family's craftsmanship to be lost."
"Good boy, you are all good boys." Shao's father was very moved, his eyes were a little red, but in the end he didn't cry in front of his son.
Shao Qingyi comforted Shao's father for a while, then went back to the kitchen, and told Shao's mother about Shao Qingcheng's plan.
When Shao's mother heard that Shao Qingcheng still wanted to continue learning stonemasonry, she couldn't help being a little annoyed, but after Qingcheng's active apology and explanation, Shao's mother, who loves her youngest son, finally agreed.
Finally, the messy things in the Shao family were settled, and Shao Qingyi wanted to go home in a hurry with her two children.
It's just that at the moment when she stepped out of the gate of Shao's house, Shao Qingyi suddenly felt that something had disappeared from her body...
strange?
Shao Qingyi didn't know why she felt this way, as if her body suddenly relaxed.
Shao Qingyi, who didn't care, rushed home in a hurry. He wanted to take some tools and go to Xiaobal Mountain to dig some stones to test at home to see if the stones were limestone.
Limestone is one of the raw materials for cement. With cement, it is much easier to remodel the house afterwards!
As soon as Shao Qingyi came home, she just wanted to tell He Changji about the happy event, when He Changji announced the happy event first: "I've finished all the parts of the bunk bed, the only thing left is the final assembly."
"Really?" Shao Qingyi was overjoyed when she heard the words, "That's great! Then the children can sleep in bunk beds tonight."
"Yes." He Changji nodded, "But our bedroom is not big enough, we need to modify the current Datong shop first."
"How to change it?" Shao Qingyi asked quickly.
"The bunk bed is made up of two double beds. If you want to put this bunk bed in the bedroom, you have to dismantle one of the beds." He Changji replied.
"Then you teach me, and I'll help you dismantle it together." Shao Qingyi said immediately.
"Okay." He Changji nodded.
Therefore, Shao Qingyi put aside her plan to go to Xiaobal Mountain to find out for the time being, and the family began to make room for bunk beds.
"Let's just dismantle this bed." Shao Qingyi pointed to the bed next to her and said, "There is already a gap here, so dismantle this bed, so that the bunk beds can just be stuffed in."
"Okay." He Changji nodded, agreeing to Shao Qingyi's proposal.
Shao Qingyi first put away all the pillows and quilts on that bed, and stuffed the closet to the brim.
The bed board without the bedding was exposed, very smooth and thick.
However, this bed cannot be carried away directly, because the two beds are put together with a mortise and tenon structure, and the whole body will be moved when moving, so the joint must be dismantled before it can be moved.
This bed was also made by He Changji himself, so he knew exactly how to dismantle it.
He first pointed out the key to Shao Qingyi, and then the husband and wife each removed all the parts connecting the two beds, and the two beds were completely separated.
"This bed is very heavy, you can't move it by yourself." Seeing that Shao Qingyi wanted to move the bed by himself, He Changji quickly stopped him, "Go and call your neighbor, Uncle Huang, to help him?"
"Uncle Huang?" Shao Qingyi couldn't help wondering when he thought of Uncle Huang's old look, "Well, Uncle Huang's hands and feet are not very convenient, right?"
"Don't underestimate Uncle Huang." He Changji said with a smile, "When he was young, he was the bearer in the village. Before the Hu family opened a grocery store, the village had to rely on him to buy things. There were no carriages at that time , he alone needs to carry hundreds of catties of goods from Fucheng to the village on the mountain road.”
Shao Qingyi's eyes widened when she heard the words, this, isn't this too powerful?
"Even now, he often takes on jobs like picking stones." He Changji continued, "So, his strength is much stronger than yours."
Shao Qingyi could only give a thumbs up silently. Sure enough, your uncle is still your uncle, no exception in all ages and in all countries!
So he went to the neighbor's house to find Uncle Huang, but it turned out that only Aunt Huang was in the Huang family.
"The son of the Zhang family is going to marry a wife, so he went to help." Aunt Huang said, "What do you want from him?"
"It's nothing serious, I just want to ask him to help move something." Shao Qingyi explained.
Seeing that Uncle Huang was not there, Shao Qingyi said goodbye and left, ready to ask others to help, but she saw Aunt Huang wiped the hands washing the dishes, and then said: "Can't you just find me to move things?"
"Can you...can you? The things to be moved are quite heavy." Shao Qingyi reminded tactfully.
"Hey, don't underestimate it!" Aunt Huang was upset when she heard the words, "When the old man and I were shopping together, you weren't born yet!"
The author has something to say: Uncle Huang: Your uncle is still your uncle!
Aunt Huang: Your aunt is also your aunt!
Shao Qingyi: I'm sorry, I'm the only one who's really useless...

Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 427110235 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Shao Qingyi is going to take another bag of vegetarian meat that Mrs. Song's husband gave them yesterday to Shao's house today.
Shao Qingyi originally wanted to let the two children stay at home, but the two children said they were worried about going to the grandparents' house alone with their mother and father, and they insisted on going with them, so Shao Qingyi could only follow their wishes.

But since the last time, Shao Qingyi has never been to Shao's house, so she didn't know that Shao's father really did what he said, and started working hard!
It's just that I don't know how long Father Shao's enthusiasm can last...
"Is mother in the kitchen?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"Yes." Father Shao nodded.

"Crazy?" Shao Qingyi was taken aback, then he frowned and said, "I just saw that Dad is doing well?"
"Let me tell you, since a few days ago, he seems to be a different person, suddenly saying that he wants to quit drinking." Mother Shao said with a worried face.

Hearing this, Shao Qingyi replied: "How about this, mother, I'll go talk to Qing Cheng first, see what he thinks, and then talk to Father."

Shao Qingyi shook her head in disapproval: "Even if you really want to inherit the handicraft from your family, there's no need to lock yourself in the room to work, right? Why don't you move this stone out and carve in the yard with Dad? "
"Because my mother is always nagging in my ear, so I can only move the stone into the house." Shao Qingcheng scratched his head and said, "By the way, second brother, you are not here to be a lobbyist for my mother, are you? "
Shao Qingyi shook her head: "I'm just wondering why you gave up your studies all of a sudden?"
"I didn't give up my studies..." Shao Qingcheng's expression became complicated when he heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I just, I just don't want to disappoint Dad."
Seeing Shao Qingyi's puzzled face, Shao Qingcheng continued to explain: "Before, Dad told me a lot. He said that he had been muddled all these years, accomplished nothing, and had done many things that he regretted. He said, I hope I can try Let's learn the ancestral stonemason craft."
"So, for the sake of father's happiness, you asked your master for leave?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"That's right...Actually, I've been a little tired and confused about going to school recently..." Shao Qingcheng said, his tone lowered, "A few days ago, a brother I have always admired returned to the village. According to the master, This senior brother has accomplished a lot in his studies, works in Fucheng, and lives a prosperous life. This is also an example of what my mother has always taught me, as long as I study hard, I can go to the county town to live a good life."
Shao Qingyi nodded: "Isn't that great?"
"However, after I asked that senior brother, I realized that he was just working as an accountant in a store." Shao Qingcheng said disappointedly, "Although an accountant is a respectable job...but it is not the same as the one I imagined. It seems that the difference is too far..."
"What do you think about getting ahead?" Shao Qingyi asked.
"Well, at least he has to be like a big brother, the one who has a group of people under his command?" Shao Qingcheng replied.
After Shao Qingyi heard this, it was clear that Shao Qingcheng had doubts about the purpose and necessity of studying hard after seeing Shao Qingning's power.
"So, you just want to inherit the craftsmanship at home?" Shao Qingyi continued to ask.
"At least give it a try...and father really hopes that I can inherit the family's craftsmanship." Shao Qingcheng replied.
"How do you feel after trying it for the past few days?" Shao Qingyi said, looking at the very conspicuous big stone on the table.
A pit has been chiseled into the stone, but it will take a long time to go through.
"It feels like being a stonemason is quite tiring, and it's not as easy as going to school." Shao Qingcheng said, squeezing his arms, "My hands are so sore these days when chiseling. Dad said these are just basic skills, and my foundation is too weak. Poor, you have to practice the basic skills well before you can truly inherit this craft."
"As for me, I'm not here to be a lobbyist. I just want to know what you think." Shao Qingyi explained, "Nothing is easy, whether it's going to school or inheriting the family business, if you want to achieve something, You have to work hard.”
"Second brother, you are right..." Shao Qingcheng became even more depressed when he heard the words, "Actually, I don't know what I want to do. My mother told me before that I should study hard and live in the county. The life in Wan Village is pretty good too...and after listening to that senior brother talk about his life, I found that the county town is not good, he still misses the days in Shuiwan Village very much!"
"Since you have figured it out, go and explain it to your mother yourself." Shao Qingyi suggested after hearing the words, "Actually, if you are really determined, you can learn from both sides at the same time."
"Yeah, I think so too!" Shao Qingcheng nodded and said, "I've thought about it when I'm at home these few days, I still like to go to school, I really enjoy the time with my wife and my classmates. In a few days, when my vacation is over, I will go back to school. I will also learn from my dad. After all, I can’t completely cut off the craftsmanship of my ancestors. Even if the craftsmanship is not perfect in the end, I know the basic skills and skills. At any rate, it can be taught to future generations.”
Shao Qingyi didn't expect Shao Qingcheng to have thought so much.
It seems that after not seeing each other for a few days, Shao Qingcheng has indeed grown a lot.
Shao Qingyi nodded in relief, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the powder next to the big rock on the table.
These powders should have been chiseled out and piled up by Shao Qingcheng.
This powder... looks familiar...
Thinking this way, Shao Qingyi walked to the table, glued some with her fingers, and looked at it carefully.
Why is this powder so much like limestone powder? !
Shao Qingyi looked at the stone on the table in surprise. So, this stone is limestone?
Shao Qingyi turned her head in surprise and asked Shao Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, do you know where this stone was mined from?"
Shao Qingcheng didn't know why the second brother suddenly asked this, but he still shook his head: "I don't know, this is what Dad gave it to me. Is there any question?"
Shao Qingyi didn't care about explaining, and hurried out to ask Father Shao: "Father, where did you mine that stone you gave Qingcheng?"
Shao's father was suddenly interrupted by Shao Qingyi, who was in a hurry, and he was stunned for a while. It took him a while to realize what the stone he was talking about was, and he replied: "That stone, it was moved on a hill near the village. Come. By the way, that hill is quite close to your house."
"Which mountain?" Shao Qingyi continued to ask eagerly.
"Little Bald Mountain." Father Shao replied.
Little Bald Mountain?Shao Qingyi remembered that when she first came here, she took her two children to dig wild vegetables in Xiaotu Mountain.
So, the reason why Xiaobald Mountain is so bald is precisely because of this kind of limestone underneath?
This conjecture made Shao Qingyi instantly excited.
He wished he could go to Xiaobald Mountain to check immediately, but he finally remembered that there was something unresolved.
He suppressed his excitement and eagerness, and said to Shao's father: "Father, are you going to let Qingcheng inherit the family's craftsmanship?"
"That's right... Qingcheng is the only man in your generation. I thought, I have only half-learned this skill. If I don't let Qingcheng get in touch with it sooner, this ancestor's skill will be lost." Father Shao said When I mentioned this incident, I became sad.
"I chatted with Qing Cheng just now, and he said that he still wants to go back to school." Shao Qingyi said.
"Is that so..." Shao's father was startled, the movements of his hands paused, and after a while, he began to chisel the stone again, "Alright, I heard from your mother that Qingcheng is very talented in reading, maybe he can go This road is also a good thing for him..."
Even though he said so, Shao's father's expression was obviously a lot lost.
Shao Qingyi added with a smile: "Qingcheng said that he can go to school during the day and study with you at home at night."
"Really, really?" Father Shao raised his head in surprise when he heard this.
"Yeah." Shao Qingyi nodded, "Qingcheng doesn't want the family's craftsmanship to be lost."
"Good boy, you are all good boys." Shao's father was very moved, his eyes were a little red, but in the end he didn't cry in front of his son.
Shao Qingyi comforted Shao's father for a while, then went back to the kitchen, and told Shao's mother about Shao Qingcheng's plan.
When Shao's mother heard that Shao Qingcheng still wanted to continue learning stonemasonry, she couldn't help being a little annoyed, but after Qingcheng's active apology and explanation, Shao's mother, who loves her youngest son, finally agreed.
Finally, the messy things in the Shao family were settled, and Shao Qingyi wanted to go home in a hurry with her two children.
It's just that at the moment when she stepped out of the gate of Shao's house, Shao Qingyi suddenly felt that something had disappeared from her body...
strange?
Shao Qingyi didn't know why she felt this way, as if her body suddenly relaxed.
Shao Qingyi, who didn't care, rushed home in a hurry. He wanted to take some tools and go to Xiaobal Mountain to dig some stones to test at home to see if the stones were limestone.
Limestone is one of the raw materials for cement. With cement, it is much easier to remodel the house afterwards!
As soon as Shao Qingyi came home, she just wanted to tell He Changji about the happy event, when He Changji announced the happy event first: "I've finished all the parts of the bunk bed, the only thing left is the final assembly."
"Really?" Shao Qingyi was overjoyed when she heard the words, "That's great! Then the children can sleep in bunk beds tonight."
"Yes." He Changji nodded, "But our bedroom is not big enough, we need to modify the current Datong shop first."
"How to change it?" Shao Qingyi asked quickly.
"The bunk bed is made up of two double beds. If you want to put this bunk bed in the bedroom, you have to dismantle one of the beds." He Changji replied.
"Then you teach me, and I'll help you dismantle it together." Shao Qingyi said immediately.
"Okay." He Changji nodded.
Therefore, Shao Qingyi put aside her plan to go to Xiaobal Mountain to find out for the time being, and the family began to make room for bunk beds.
"Let's just dismantle this bed." Shao Qingyi pointed to the bed next to her and said, "There is already a gap here, so dismantle this bed, so that the bunk beds can just be stuffed in."
"Okay." He Changji nodded, agreeing to Shao Qingyi's proposal.
Shao Qingyi first put away all the pillows and quilts on that bed, and stuffed the closet to the brim.
The bed board without the bedding was exposed, very smooth and thick.
However, this bed cannot be carried away directly, because the two beds are put together with a mortise and tenon structure, and the whole body will be moved when moving, so the joint must be dismantled before it can be moved.
This bed was also made by He Changji himself, so he knew exactly how to dismantle it.
He first pointed out the key to Shao Qingyi, and then the husband and wife each removed all the parts connecting the two beds, and the two beds were completely separated.
"This bed is very heavy, you can't move it by yourself." Seeing that Shao Qingyi wanted to move the bed by himself, He Changji quickly stopped him, "Go and call your neighbor, Uncle Huang, to help him?"
"Uncle Huang?" Shao Qingyi couldn't help wondering when he thought of Uncle Huang's old look, "Well, Uncle Huang's hands and feet are not very convenient, right?"
"Don't underestimate Uncle Huang." He Changji said with a smile, "When he was young, he was the bearer in the village. Before the Hu family opened a grocery store, the village had to rely on him to buy things. There were no carriages at that time , he alone needs to carry hundreds of catties of goods from Fucheng to the village on the mountain road.”
Shao Qingyi's eyes widened when she heard the words, this, isn't this too powerful?
"Even now, he often takes on jobs like picking stones." He Changji continued, "So, his strength is much stronger than yours."
Shao Qingyi could only give a thumbs up silently. Sure enough, your uncle is still your uncle, no exception in all ages and in all countries!
So he went to the neighbor's house to find Uncle Huang, but it turned out that only Aunt Huang was in the Huang family.
"The son of the Zhang family is going to marry a wife, so he went to help." Aunt Huang said, "What do you want from him?"
"It's nothing serious, I just want to ask him to help move something." Shao Qingyi explained.
Seeing that Uncle Huang was not there, Shao Qingyi said goodbye and left, ready to ask others to help, but she saw Aunt Huang wiped the hands washing the dishes, and then said: "Can't you just find me to move things?"
"Can you...can you? The things to be moved are quite heavy." Shao Qingyi reminded tactfully.
"Hey, don't underestimate it!" Aunt Huang was upset when she heard the words, "When the old man and I were shopping together, you weren't born yet!"
The author has something to say: Uncle Huang: Your uncle is still your uncle!
Aunt Huang: Your aunt is also your aunt!
Shao Qingyi: I'm sorry, I'm the only one who's really useless...
