Chapter 3: bracelet

Chapter III Bracelet ()
It was already past noon, and the sun was hanging high in the sky. However, since the well had been dug deep, the bottom of the well could not see anything, and it was illuminated by an oil lamp brought to the well. Zhang Xiaohua’s face did not see any decision in the swaying light. He thought for a moment. He raised his and dug in one direction.
When, when...
the sound continued, and several directions were changed. The same is true, this can be good. It seems that it is really a poor mountain.
Zhang Xiaohua wants to give up a bit, or go up first, wait a while to expand the wellhead, and then take a look. However, the mother has not sent the meal, do you have to dig it from below? Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua didn't stop. Then, from the front, the waist-deep place, I found a direction and dug it. When I was digging, I suddenly heard a "jingle" sound. The small flower could not help but be surprised and stone. But then there was another gimmick, but there was no sound. Zhang Xiaohua is very surprised, but he doesn't think much. Maybe it is a small stone, as long as it is not a big stone. Digging a little farther away, Zhang Xiaohua tried to dig down, and I was expecting not to hear the nasty sound. The result was not too much comfort. The stone below this step is also the stone.
Waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to take a break, and then change direction, Zhang Xiaolong’s voice came from above.
Small flowers, come up to eat, and the mother will send the meal.
Zhang Xiaohua was pulled down from the well by the big brother, watching Zhang Xiaohua’s face, Zhang Xiaolong did not ask more, just brought him a meal, watching him devour the food. Then comforted and said: "It doesn't matter, Xiaohua, this place can't work. Let's change somewhere else. If the hillside is so big, there must be a place to drill the well."
After eating the meal, Zhang Xiaohua’s face was obviously much better. It seemed that it was no longer gloomy. When the person who saw the well went down the well, he smiled and said to Zhang Xiaolong:
I know, Big Brother, I went up to see the ground, for a while. Come over again." Zhang Xiaolong patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder, did not say anything, took the empty bamboo basket and walked away.
Zhang Xiaohua took his and walked up the hillside, came to his own kind of field, put the on the side, and sat on the ground, looking at the unwatered land, thinking about it. Is it necessary to pick water from the river in the future? When his eyes fell on the hoe, he found that there was a mud head on the top of the hoe, which was estimated to have been brought up when he was excavating underground. Zhang Xiaohua used his foot on the to lick it, and the result did not collapse. He took the and took the mud to clean it up. He found that the round thing was set on the hoe, and the card was very tight. Zhang Xiaohua’s head thought about it. It was estimated that when he was digging underground, The sound of "jingle" is the movement of the skull to dig into this ring. No wonder there is no more sound. It turned out to be on the hoe. Zhang Xiaohua wants to get the ring down from the hoe, find the twig, and find a stone to knock it, it can't work. If you rub it on the scorpion, you might be able to get it down, but it's hard not to break it. You can't carry this thing down the well to dig the earth, and Zhang Xiaohua is a little helpless. In the end, Zhang Xiaohua squatted and lifted his on the shackles of the stone with half the strength. He heard the sound of "jingle", the ring was not broken, and he did not come down from the hoe. It was also Zhang Xiaohua who made all the effort, and after several times, it was finally got it. The inexplicable ring was not broken, it seems to be very solid.
Zhang Xiaohua took the ring and wiped the dirt on it with clothes. It was clear that it should be a bracelet. It has wide, black and black, no pattern, flat, and I don’t know what material to make. Into. Zhang Xiaohua was waiting to look at it carefully, and he heard the sound of Zhang Xiaolong’s joy under the slope.
Small flowers, come and come, have hopes.
Zhang Xiaohua listened, and happily picked up, and refused to look at this. The bracelet, squatting in his arms, picked up the and slipped down the hillside. He didn't notice the feeling of fluttering when he was holding the bracelet.
When Zhang Xiaohua ran to the bottom of the slope, he saw the smile on Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu's face, and Zhang Cai had a bitter face. Listening to Zhang Xiaolong said, this is to know that the bottom of the well is not a layer of stone, and the stone is not too big. As long as the wellhead is enlarged, the stone can be made out, but the length of this expansion is at least three steps. The wellhead is big, the amount of excavation is large, the time is of course long, and the money for others is much more. However, fortunately, there is no need to re-elect the place, re-open the well, and do not need to pick water to pour the land, it can be considered a good result. Seeing that the three children are happy, only Zhang Cai is secretly worried in his own heart. He hopes that there will be no such stones in the future. Once again, this well is estimated to be no longer digging.
The work in the afternoon is also simple. The person who digs the well re-measures the wellhead according to the size of the stone, planning how to expand and re-excavate. After such a small wave, everyone has done it in an orderly manner.
Back home at night, after dinner, Zhang Xiaohua did not think of this bracelet in the arms before going to sleep. It was only when I undressed that I fell out, and I remembered it. However, after a tired day, it was too sleepy. He didn’t think much, just stuffed it under the pillow and fell asleep.
This night, Zhang’s everything was the same as before, the oil lamp went out early, and the wind blew the fence door. The hay on the yellow mud wall was also blown up, unable to wave. Only in the light of the moonlight, sprinkled through the window on the dilapidated table, was smashed, everyone went to sleep, quiet night, only one after another.
The only difference is Zhang Xiaohua, no, it should be Zhang Xiaohua's dream! His dream is no longer the previous pork belly, but full flashing! It is like a breath, a radiance of light, a flash of light.
On the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaohua opened his eyes when the first sun rising from the sun shone on the face of Zhang Xiaohua. Doubtful look around, and did not find the flashing things, only then know that all the flash is a dream. Self-deprecating shook his head and prepared to continue to sleep. However, at this time, he discovered that listening to the snoring of two brothers, he seems to be unable to sleep, he is a hundred times more than a last resort, get up and dress.
When Zhang Xiaohua walked to the yard, she saw that her mother was cooking on the stove in the courtyard, so she went to the water well in the corner to make water and prepare to wash her face. Guo Sufei saw Zhang Xiaohua coming out, very strange, said: "Small flowers, how come so early? Yesterday was tired one day, sleep more today, it will take a while to work."
Zhang Xiaohua said while she was hitting the water: "I don't sleep, mother, I am not sleepy. Moreover, you see, I have come over. Now it is full of strength. When you squat down, you can smash the stone." "He said, he put down the basin and made a slamming action."
Guo Sufei said with a smile: "Well, the little flower grows up, grow up, and it is the pillar of the family like you."
Zhang Xiaohua blushes and says: "Mom, I am so big, don't ask me to be embarrassed, how hard it is to listen."
During the conversation, Zhang Cai came back from the outside and held the vegetables in his hand. He asked, "Who grew up? How did the flower get up so early? No longer sleep." Then the greens in the handle were handed to Zhang Xiaohua. The mother-in-law said, "The grass in the vegetable garden has grown a little. I have time to pull it out. I have been busy with the things in the past few days. Don't leave the dishes of the family."
Guo Sufei took over the vegetables and said, "Isn't that your son? It is so early for the first time today. It is also a good job to work in the future."
Guo Sufei went on to cook the whole family, and Zhang Cai entered the house. Zhang Xiaohua washed her face, had nothing to do, and walked out of the yard.
Although the time is still early, it is almost winter, but the crop people can't live without it. There are already many people walking around the village. Some people drove ducks and geese to the river. Some people used grass to feed chickens and pigs from the river. Some people had already hoeed their heads and prepared to go down to the ground. Zhang Xiaohua walked on the path of the village. I feel that today is different from the past. I can’t say that it’s different. I feel that I am full of energy. I have a feeling of endless power, or that every part of the body contains strength. . However, he would not think too much, just thought that he had a good night's sleep. When Zhang Xiaohua walked back home, everyone started using rice. He also hurriedly finished eating, followed by his brother and went to dig the well.
In the following days, it was also stable, the well surface was enlarged, and the stones were shaved from the bottom of the well. The well was getting deeper and deeper. When the piece was dug out, it looked quite flat, and it felt cold. Zhang Xiaohua called two brothers to get it under the tree in the field. When preparing for the summer, when working on the bed . And that bracelet, Zhang Xiaohua is still behind her head, placed under the cover of the pillow, forgetting to be dry, but his dream has already been flashed instead of the pork belly, but he is not conscious. To.
It was a few days, and there was still no water in the well. At this time, Zhang Cai was a bit worried. Seeing that it is about to enter the winter, the soil layer will be frozen. Although the bottom of the well will not freeze, it is not so smooth. This evening, after the family had finished eating, they had gathered together to do farm work. Zhang Cai frowned and discussed with Guo Sufei that there was no water at the bottom of the patio. It is estimated that it would stop. Waiting for the spring to say. At this time, Guo Sufei said:
"Children, hey, do you know that Mr. Wu’s family in the neighboring village has made a block on the hillside in the south?"
Zhang Cai said: "I don't know, but I heard that Nanpo is also digging wells."
Guo Sufei said: "It is that well, it was played by Mr. Wu's family. Like us, it is also used to pour the fields. Today I went to the river to pull the grass and feed the chickens. I met Guo Quan's family at the entrance of the village. Her little girl is not married. Have you given Mr. Wu’s brother, guess what she said to me?

"What to say? Is the well already out of the water?" Zhang Cai asked strangely. "Are they not late than we are? Is it so fast?"
"You think about getting out of the water, something more evil than the water!" Guo Sufei said with no anger.
"Hey, what is that?" Not only was Zhang Cai attracted, but the curiosity of Zhang’s three brothers was also hooked up.
"They drilled the well and dug a small broken box!" Guo Sufei went on. "When the box was dug out of the well, it was broken by the hoe, revealing the inside. Although it was covered with dirt, it could be seen clearly." The pearl agate inside! You said, we didn't have such good luck, it was earlier than they played, and it broke the big stone."
Just when the family was in the fortune of Mr. Wu’s family, Zhang Xiaohua remembered what he had dug from the well. He said excitedly, "Hey, mother, I also dig out the baby from the well." In the urging and eager eyes of the family, he took out the forgotten bracelet from the captivity.
Zhang Cai took it over and took a careful look under the oil lamp. I saw that it was a dark, flat, and I didn’t know what the material was made. It was better to call it a hoop. He couldn't see it, so he handed it to Guo Sufei. Guo Sufei took it. He took a look at it and rubbed it with his fingers for a while. He said, "It’s so light, it’s not like jade, there is no pattern, it’s not what it is. Jewelry. Like the child's home, Xiaohua, you hold it." Zhang Xiaohua didn't feel like taking it over and handed it to his two brothers, as if he hadn't dug out the pearl agate.
The bracelet was turned around in the hands of two brothers and handed to Zhang Xiaohua. It seems that this ugly thing is not very interesting to everyone, and the little flower has to be in his arms.
Guo Sufei went on to say: "Hey, if it's really a good piece of jewelry, you can consider staying here, and when you open the spring to tell your brother about the media, be a dowry."
This time, it can ignite the mood of the family. After the spring, Zhang Xiaolong can be full of twenty, and it is time to find the girl. The family is based on their own impressions, a girl and a girl with Zhang Xiaolong. When the oil lamp went out, the family still had no idea, but in order to drill the well and farm work tomorrow, they had to sleep.
Before going to sleep, Zhang Xiaohua pulled out the bracelet in her arms and was about to put it under the bedding again. But after another thought, Mr. Wu dug out the baby from the ground. I am also a baby. I have to save it well. . But where to put it? He thought about putting the bracelet on his wrist. It was also a coincidence that it was suitable for the wrist. He waved his arm and the bracelet did not slide up and down. Zhang Xiaohua’s heart is a sneak peek, which is simply tailor-made for him.
It wasn't until he fell asleep that he didn't think that if he had the right fit with his wrist, there was no gap, then how did he get it from the hand. Not to mention that the pork belly in his dreams has long since disappeared, and only the infinite flashes are in his mind.
