YuanYuan and ManMan are still young after all, and they may leak their mouths accidentally. Qin Mian and Lei Tie did not tell them that what they taught was the method of comprehension, only that it was a profound martial arts secret. The space is full of spiritual energy, which is the best place for cultivation. Every time Qin Mian and Lei Tie brought YuanYuan and ManMan into the space for practice, they waited for them to fall asleep before bringing them into the space. When YuanYuan and ManMan woke up and asked, they only said that it was a mysterious place in the mountains of Qingshan Village. This is so cautious to protect their family. YuanYuan and ManMan did not doubt, after the foundation was built, they entered the early stage of consecration smoothly.
A little white and golden retriever have also changed a lot in the past year. Qin Mian doesn't know how the demon cultivation is divided into levels, but based on the condensed level of the true essence in the white dantian, it can be judged that its current cultivation level is equivalent to the initial stage of human integration, and the progress is not small. It seems that Golden Retriever and Yidian Bai can communicate with each other, and Golden Retriever is now also embarking on the path of cultivation, the cultivation level is equivalent to the mid-stage of human consecration.
A little white and golden retriever can live longer, which is good news for the Qin Mian family of four.
In the new year, Qin Mian's development focus is not only on his own home, but also on Qingshan Village. Qingshan Village has beautiful mountains and clear waters. It would be a pity if it is not well developed. But after all, he is just a small citizen in Qingshan Village, and he has to be greeted with Lizheng about this matter.
As soon as Lizheng saw Qin Mian, Lei Tie, YuanYuan and ManMan come to the house, he guessed something good came to the house, smiled and greeted the four of them in, urging his wife to prepare snacks for YuanYuan and ManMan.
The Lizheng's family has changed. The gate and walls of the courtyard have been completely renewed. In the courtyard, the Qin Mian family has also planted a fruit tree and a flower tree. Ever since Qin Mian's family planted fruit and flower trees in the yard, the villagers have followed suit. Almost every family has planted flowers and fruit trees in their yards. This seems to have become a characteristic of Qingshan Village. Not to mention, the flowers and fruit trees planted in the yard are more pleasing to the eye than it was when they were crippled. It is also more comfortable to live in the house, especially in spring, when smelling the fragrance of flowers makes you feel refreshed.
Several villagers saw Qin Mian's family entering Lizheng's house and left after nearly half an hour. Lizheng's expression was a little strange, both happy and sad, and they walked back and forth in the yard with their hands behind their backs.
The villagers wondered: What happened?
On the way back, YuanYuan and ManMan sang the nursery rhyme "You're Not Done" taught by Qin Mian.
ManMan sang: "I am not fooled, I am not fooled, I am not fooled, I am not fooled, I am not fooled by you..."
YuanYuan sings: "I accompany my dad to buy food in the morning when I am not going to school. My dad said I'm really obedient and getting better and better..."
ManMan sang again: "Daddy has something to leave, tell me to wait in place..."
The two little guys cooperated quite tacitly. After each sang two sentences, they changed. When they sang words such as "I", "You", "No", their little hands made corresponding gestures on their faces. It's fun to put on a happy or cold expression.
Qin Mian hadn't taught them to do this, so he was very surprised. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of making the two little guys furry. Putting his hands on Lei Tie's shoulders, he hid behind him and chuckled.
When he laughed, the heat squirted down the back of Lei Tie's neck, as if there was something like nothing. Lei Tie couldn't bear to pull the person to his side, whispering in his ear, "Wife, if YuanYuan and ManMan knew you Snickering, maybe you will follow along."
Qin Mian shut up immediately, straightened up and pretended to be serious.
A smile flashed in Lei Tie's eyes and patted his head lightly.
After singing a song twice, four people entered the courtyard gate.
YuanYuan looked up at Qin Mian, "Daddy, we want to go to the amusement park."
"Yes," Qin Mian nodded, "However, I have to learn ten more words today."
"it is good."
The two little guys rushed hand in hand.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie followed unhurriedly.
The playground is the former grove. It was redesigned by Qin Mian, and Lei Tie personally transformed it into a small world. It makes full use of the wooden piers left after the trees were cut down, full of fun. There are not only seesaws, swings, slides, rotating chairs, single-plank bridges, etc., but also climbing nets. Climbing nets are long and wide, and can be changed in design. Qin Mian sometimes hangs it up as a net wall, sometimes folds it into three floors, and sometimes makes a small maze... YuanYuan and ManMan like climbing nets the most. , Every time I can't climb anymore.
"Father, I want to play climbing nets." ManMan couldn't wait to say.
Lei Tie tied a safety rope to the two.
The two immediately rushed towards the climbing net, and after a while, cheerful laughter came from the amusement park.
The servants brought fruits, tea and snacks, Qin Mian and Lei Tie were sitting by and guarding the two children...
In the morning two days later, the second son of Lizheng's family banged the gong and shouted from all over the village, "After breakfast, go to the Lizheng's house to discuss matters, one person per household; after breakfast, to discuss matters at the Lizheng's house, one person per household... "
After breakfast, the villagers went to Lizheng's home in twos and threes. It is said that each household only needs to support one person, but the villagers are very concerned about the major events in the village, as long as there is no important thing at hand, they will go to the house.
After Qin Mian and Lei Tie had their breakfast, they let YuanYuan and ManMan stay at home to study the homework of the previous day and came to Lizheng's house together.
The villagers entered the door and squatted consciously looking for ground.
Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Wang were also invited over. Sitting on the two armchairs under the eaves.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie were also allocated two chairs.
Lizheng's eldest son, Luo Youfu, first called the name, and no matter who came to the meeting, he only called the head of the household, and he answered when he arrived.
After finishing the call, Lizheng said: "It's still the old rule. I will talk about things first. If you have any questions, please wait until I finish talking."
The villagers were accustomed to Lizheng's style of doing things, and they had no opinion.
After sitting down, Li Zheng went on to say, "I invite you all to discuss the road construction in Qingshan Village. Why is Qingshan Village so poor before? Why didn't we have schools before? It's all because Qingshan Village is too remote and the roads are too uneven. . If the road can be repaired, it will be much more convenient whether we transport the food in the fields or buy things from outside. If you still don't understand the truth, I will give you an analogy. Now, We want to sell a cart of food. If it is four hundred catties, one person needs to drive the cart and six people to push the cart. It takes more than half an hour from the village to the town, and we have to pay six wages to the people who cart the cart. It's easy to walk, maybe a cart for two people is enough, only two wages are needed, and it can save a lot of time. Think about it, everyone. Not only that, but when the road is easy, the girls are also willing to marry our village. You said, is a good girl willing to marry to a village where the road is easy or is willing to marry to a village where the road is not easy? So, building roads is not only good for us, but also good for our future generations. We can do it while we can. To be active, we must do something good for future generations, right?"
His words were so popular that the villagers could understand, and they nodded.
Lizheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Before planting small seedlings in mid-May, the big guys basically have free time. The old man thought, take this opportunity to repair the road out of the village. Each family has a strong labor force. There is really no strong labor force in the family. Wife, the wife or the half-year-old can do some light work, serving the big guys with tea and water. This matter, the old man will arrange it properly. In short, as Every member of Qingshan Village must contribute. Otherwise, you should not take the road they built."
Someone opened his mouth to speak, and he waved his hand to stop him. "The old man hasn't finished speaking. I think the big guys have guessed it. Tiezi and his Wife proposed the road construction. Their family is the richest man in Qingshan Village, but they They have not forgotten to take care of the villagers. They told the old man that they would teach the big guys to burn bricks for free, and then our village will have a flat road made of bricks. For this, we have to thank Tiezi and him Wife. That's what the old man wants to say, do you have any objections?"
Grandpa Liu nodded, "The road is indeed repaired. However, most of the men in our village work in the processing park. If we go to build the road, won't the work in the processing park be delayed?" He looked at Qin with concern. Mian and Lei Tie.
Li Zhengdao: "So Tiezi and his Wife are kind, and when the road is being built, the men suspend work."
"That's the case." Qin Mian looked around at everyone, "Building roads is a major event in the village, and our family naturally fully supports it."
The villagers admired him and Lei Tie a lot, and others suggested that Qin Mian's family should not have labor when building roads.
The road construction was settled very smoothly.
Burning bricks requires fuel, soil, water and brick kilns. Fuel, the trees in the mountains near Qingshan Village, can be used for local materials; soil, there is a col in Qingshan Village, the soil is deep and the soil quality is good, it is suitable for taking the earth to make billets; water, there is no shortage of water if there is a river; as for the brick kiln, Just make one now.
Qin Mian guides the villagers to build brick kilns and make bricks. There is a brick kiln in Qin Mian Grandpa Village. Because of conflicts between the partners, it was abandoned after less than two years of operation. Qin Mian and his playmates in the village often go to play in the brick kiln. He remembers the structure of the brick kiln very well.
After the road is repaired, the brick kiln can still be used as the village's public property. Anyone in the village who wants to build a house can burn bricks here without spending money to buy it. Therefore, the villagers are very dedicated to build the small brick kiln in just one day.
Qin Mian remembers that the size of the standard brick seems to be 240mm*115mm*53mm. It seems that this ratio can more perfectly display the load-bearing capacity of the brick, so Qin Mian made the brick mold into a similar specification in memory.
Li is quickly arranging the whole village. There are now 80 households in the village, and each family has 80 people with a strong labor force. Li is arranging twenty people to chop wood, thirty people to dig soil, ten people to cut pine resin, ten people to burn bricks, and ten people to mobilize flexibly.
It took nearly a month to burn enough bricks in the small brick kiln. During the brick firing period, other villagers first used shovels, hoes and other tools to plan or fill in the dusty village roads, smooth them, and then use stone rollers to compact them, and then lay the bricks neatly. Go up and roll it with a stone roller again so that the bricks can be embedded in the soil. Finally, use melted rosin to pour the gaps between the bricks to achieve adhesion. If the rosin is not enough, use a mixture of tung oil, glutinous rice juice and lime juice to grouting.
With the power of the whole village, I have been busy for nearly two months, and the road from Qingshan Village to the outside of the mountain has become smooth and beautiful.
After Lizheng announced that the road could be used, the adults and children of the whole village couldn't help stepping on the brick and stone road and walking around, all of them were happy and full of spirits.
Mr. Chen from the imperial examination class witnessed the whole process of road construction by the villagers in Qingshan Village and was full of emotion. He wrote to several friends mentioning it.
When the villagers in the surrounding villages learned of this incident, they all ran to watch the excitement, and were envious. They realized very clearly that Qingshan Village was getting better and better.
What the people of Qingshan Village did not expect was that a few days later, this incident even reached the ears of the county magistrate of Zhaoyang County, who summoned Lizheng of Qingshan Village and rewarded him with fifty taels of silver.
Li Zheng was in agitated mood. He didn't leave fifty taels of silver and a penny to himself. He took out twenty taels and asked everyone in the village to eat two meals. The remaining thirty taels would be used to do things for the villagers in the future.
