Chapter 342

【This afternoon, my grandma left, from now on, I seem to have another relative missing...】

——————————

After making up his mind, Liu Qingshan found tools such as hoes and shovels to start digging the soil.

Since you want to widen the ramp, you naturally have to start demolishing the retaining stone walls of your own yard.

These stones piled together and perpendicular to the ground plane are common in the mountains' "wild stones" of different sizes.

They are neither as sharp as the stones of the quarry, nor as neatly crafted with those processed stones.

They are round or square, long or short, and each stone has its own unique shape.

Originally, it was extremely difficult to pile up retaining walls with such stones, but this would not end the working people.

In order to make these stones firmly attached, the ancestors neither used cement that had not yet appeared in the mountain village at that time, nor did they use the red mud used to build houses, but instead planted some extremely vital tiger ear grass between the gaps of these stones.

Now, the stone wall on the inside of the ramp is full of tiger ear grass that has almost no gap left.

Liu Qingshan held a hoe and stood in the ramp, looking at the dense wall of tiger ear grass, feeling a little unbearable.

You know, these tiger ear grasses have also disappeared.

It is said that a long time ago, there were tiger ear grass on this wall. However, because snakes in the mountains frequently appeared, in order to prevent snakes from building nests in the yard, my grandfather killed the weeds in the yard and the tiger ear grass on this wall with medicine.

Later, Liu Qingshan was born and grew up slowly.

Once, he followed his grandfather to visit his neighbor's house. When he walked to his neighbor's backyard, his grandfather looked at the wall of tiger ear grass on the stone wall in the backyard, and said to him with a little excitement: "Qingshan, look, this is a golden thread hanging hoist."

The other name of Tiger Ear Grass is called the Golden Line Hookery, but for some reason, people call it a Golden Line Hookery in the local area.

It probably was because the two round leaves of the Tiger Ear Grass were close to each other, and they looked like gourds.

Grandpa pointed to a large golden thread hanging hoist with round leaves in front of him and said, "Qingshan, look, this is also a herb."

Liu Qingshan stood behind him and glanced at the "weeds" from afar, but saw clusters of small white flowers blooming in the middle of the round leaves.

The white flowers are small and thin, and they are probably only the size of rice grains, which is really inconspicuous.

When I was a child, Qingshan was also a 'lustful' person. He liked the red flowers like azaleas, and liked the white white flowers like the sea like the white flowers, but he only looked down on the inconspicuous millet flowers like the tiger ear grass.

These flowers are small and thin, so what can they look like? They are not as beautiful as the thorny vine flowers in the mountains.

So he pouted his little mouth and said with great disdain: "Hmph, don't look at it, it's not good at all."

Grandpa pinched his little face and laughed: "Haha, Qingshan, what you said is really interesting. Can only be happy with good-looking things make you happy and let you take a look?"

Xiao Qingshan frowned, patted his grandfather's hand away, and said seriously: "But, what are you going to do if you are not good-looking?"

"You can't say that." Grandpa thought for a while, squatted down, wrapped his hands around his slim waist, and said earnestly, "Qingshan, in this world, everything has its own reasons. We cannot judge its good or bad by its appearance alone. In fact, as long as you look at it with your heart, even something very ordinary and ordinary, you can find some unique beauty in it."

Xiao Qingshan couldn't understand such profound words, but he still frowned and continued to look at the tiger ear grass.

Finally, he thought that he really did not have a pair of eyes that were good at discovering beauty.

Until one time, he fell ill and had a lot of itchy red spots on his body, and it could not be cured for a long time.

Perhaps because the sick person was his grandson, my grandfather did not dare to give medicine by himself, for fear of taking the grandson badly, so my father took him to the township health center and some messy barefoot doctors.

However, a month has passed, and the red spots on my body still show no sign of subsidence, making Xiao Qingshan feel uncomfortable and cry all night.

When the child felt uncomfortable, the adults suffered.

My mother was already weak, but she still had to serve him all night.

After working, my father had to take him to seek medical treatment.

Although my grandfather didn't have to do anything, he was suffering greatly. Because his only grandson was sick and had been sick for so long, he did not dare to use medicine, for fear of any mistakes. He could imagine the torment in his heart.

Just when he was not cured for a long time, his eldest grandmother fell ill and was ill in bed and refused to see anyone. Grandpa wanted to go to see her, but she refused to allow her grandpa to go in and only asked her second uncle to pass the message.

When I learned that the eldest grandma was covered with red spots, itchy, my grandfather found fresh tiger ear grass without saying a word and asked the second uncle to boil water for the eldest grandma to drink.

But the eldest grandmother is getting older and she is getting angry as a child. No matter how everyone persuades her, she refuses to take medicine.

So, the second uncle found his grandfather and said, "My aunt loved Qingshan the most. She asked Qingshan to feed her medicine. She would definitely be willing to drink it."

Without any help, I could only let Qingshan, who was still sick, feed her big grandma medicine.

The big grandmother was well-behaved. As long as Qingshan went to feed her medicine, she would definitely drink the medicine completely, which finally solved everyone's urgent needs.

Something strange happened.

After about a week, my grandfather discovered that the red spots on Qingshan's body were strangely missing.

He peeled off his grandson's clothes, looked around from back and forth, and said he was magical.

Liu Yuanhe also felt incredible and said in amazement: "I have been taking the doctor to see a doctor who has been there for almost two months, but I haven't recovered. I haven't been there this week, why did I get better?"

Xiao Qingshan stood in front of the adults with his butt naked, and laughed and said, "Grandma has given me all the sugar water."

Sugar water? Liu Yuanhe and his son were quite confused. What sugar water? The effect of the medicine is so magical?

When the second uncle came to pick Qingshan up again to feed the eldest grandma the medicine. Seeing that the matter was exposed, he told the truth.

In fact, the big grandmother has not been sick from the beginning. Not to mention having red spots all over her body, she doesn’t even have a mosquito bag. The reason why she is called sick is because her grandfather dares to use medicine for Xiao Qingshan. Seeing that Xiao Qingshan has been feeling uncomfortable, she came up with this method.

Grandpa suddenly realized: "I said, "How come the red spots on Qingshan's body are so bizarre. It turns out that you have given Qingshan all the potions you decocted."

"Yes." Uncle Second smiled, "If my aunt hadn't come up with this method, how could Qingshan be so fast?"

Xiao Qingshan looked at everyone with a confused look on his face. Potion? What potion? Isn’t it sugar water?

Grandpa laughed: "Haha, although I know that the golden thread hanging hoist can cure red spots, I really don't dare to do it when I think it's a medicine that is poisonous and used on my grandson. Alas, after all, it's not enough culture and poor technology."

"Dad, your skills are OK. If not, Qingshan can't get better so quickly. I said, why haven't this kid cried these days? It turns out that the red spots are slowly fading away." As he said that, the dad picked up Xiao Qingshan again, tossed and turned his nakedness and looked at him carefully, and said happily, "Now, the red spots are gone. In the future, you can have a stable sleep."

Afterwards, my grandfather carefully sorted out the matter and told Xiao Qingshan that the reason why his illness was cured was all because of the inconspicuous golden thread hanging hoist.

"Look, Grandpa said nothing wrong before. You can't just judge the quality of a thing based on its appearance. Just like this tiger ear grass, it is ordinary, without beautiful flowers, or a tall figure, but it cures your red spots."

When Liu Qingshan heard this, he was immediately filled with infinite worship of the golden thread hanging hoists growing.

It feels like the golden thread hanging hoist is like a hero in a TV series. Although it is not well-dressed and not a famous family, it looks so handsome when people walk on the sword to be a hero!

"Grandpa, let's plant some golden thread hanging hoist as well." Xiao Qingshan said.

Grandpa looked at him with relief and nodded: "Okay, let's go and pull some back and plant this wall."

So, since then, the stone wall was covered with tiger ear grass.

When Liu Qingshan grew up a little, he realized that the tiger ear grass was the scientific name of the golden thread hanging hoist, and the disease he suffered when he was young was actually chronic urticaria.

Tiger Eargrass, also known as Shihe Leaf, belongs to the perennial herb of the Tiger Eargrass family. Most of the time it grows in shrubs, grasslands or damp rock gaps at an altitude of 400 to 4500 meters.

Tiger ear herbs can not only treat urticaria, but also have other medicinal values. For example, pounding Tiger ear herbs into juice and dripping it into the ears can be used to treat otitis media;

Decocting Tiger Eargrass in water can be used to treat wind dan heat toxin, rubella itching, eczema, etc.;

In addition, using Tiger Eargrass with other medicinal herbs can also be used to treat more diseases.

Because it not only has the effects of dispelling wind, clearing heat, cooling blood, and detoxifying, it can also be used to treat symptoms such as cough, vomiting blood, lung abscess, melancholy, hemorrhoids, etc.

Although the medicinal effect of Tiger Eargrass is very high, it is said that medicine is three parts poisonous. If you are not sure about using it, abuse of Tiger Eargrass may have adverse reactions to the body.

Therefore, this is why my grandfather didn't dare to use medicine for Xiao Qingshan at the beginning.

Now that my grandfather is gone, the tiger ear grass is still dense.

It seems that the warmth that grandfather once gave was also scattered in this stone wall, giving these tiger ear grass a steady stream of warmth, making them denser and stronger year by year.

Looking at these tiger ear grasses, Liu Qingshan felt extremely reluctant.

Although building roads is important, it is a pity that the tiger ear grass that has damaged this wall for the sake of building roads is a bit of a pity.

Although Tiger Eargrass can be transplanted, they have been reproductive and thriving on this wall for nearly twenty years. They have merged with this stone wall. If they are forcibly peeled off this stone wall, although they can still continue to grow elsewhere, the Tiger Eargrass elsewhere is no longer the Tiger Eargrass in this memory.

When Liu Qingshan was looking at these tiger ear grasses, Wu Cuimei walked over in confusion and asked, "Qingshan, what are you doing?"

"Ah?" Liu Qingshan came to his senses and said with some difficulty, "Oh, I plan to dig this stone wall and then build the road wider so that our pickup truck can be driven directly into the yard. There is no need to move anything to buy in the future."

Wu Cuimei nodded happily and praised: "This is a good thing. Mom supports you. If you can't be busy alone, let your dad come and help."

"It's not the problem." Liu Qingshan said, frowned and looked at the tiger ear grass in front of him, "I was thinking that if I wanted to build a road, the golden thread hanging hoists on this wall would have to be dug out. It felt like a bit of a pity."

"What a pity?" Wu Cuimei turned her head and looked at the "weed" on the inside of the ramp that was so familiar that she could not be familiar. In a trance, a hint of reluctance flashed across her heart.

It has been decades since she married Liu Yuanhe. In these decades, she seems to have become accustomed to the natural existence of many things.

For example, the tea hammer tea pot that you have to use every day, the hat that you have to wear every rainy day and the mosquito net that you have to put down every summer night...

For example, these green mountains were planted with his grandfather and had grown on this wall for nearly twenty years without any resistance.

Once some things exist and are quietly integrated into life, if you wake up and find that they are missing one day, you will probably still feel a little melancholy and sad.

Although Wu Cuimei is not as careful as her son, she is a little bit more sympathetic because she is a woman.

She also frowned and said, "Well, these golden thread hoists are all good. It would be great if they could build roads without digging out this stone wall."

"Yes." Liu Qingshan sighed, "But there is no other way now. The waterway of the stream is narrow enough to shrink."

Wu Cuimei looked back at the rushing stream, nodded, then looked at the corner below, and asked, "What should I do if the corner below? If you don't widen the river, then you have to dig out the land of your second grandfather's house."

Liu Qingshan also turned his head and couldn't help but sigh again: "Yes, I must dig it out. Actually, I went to my second grandfather's house to discuss this with them last night, but it didn't work."

"Oh?" Wu Cuimei was in a state of spirit, "How did you discuss last night?"

"Last night, I went to my second grandfather's house and said I wanted to change the land. I used the largest half-million-wide paddy field in the other village to exchange for half-million-wide dry land in my second grandfather's house, about half-million-like area. My second grandfather and second uncle agreed, but my uncle didn't agree. He said that he would exchange all the paddy fields in our other village for his half-million-dry land. Otherwise, he would not change it."

"This, this is too greedy." Wu Cuimei was a little angry, "This Liu Daliang can't work and make money, but he is very smart in doing these things."
