The next day, the carpenter began to set up the winch frame and fixed it, and the two workers began to mix mud and sand to prepare the well platform and build the well head.
The blue brick well platform is not muddy or slippery in rain or snow; the well head should be twenty or thirty centimeters above the ground to prevent people from stepping into the well head and falling into the well.
So, this is all done for safety reasons.
According to ordinary standards, Rujia uses blue bricks, which are not expensive; if you want to use bluestone to pave the floor, the price will be higher.
In the past, wealthy landowners were more particular about digging wells, carving and engraving them, and erecting monuments, so the price was even higher.
Rumei stood at the mouth of the well and looked down, feeling an eerie chill.
This water is connected to the Qinghe River.
Rumei thought that there used to be water ghosts in the river, and if it was not protected, something unclean would come in again.
If a child fell into the well or an adult jumped into the well, it would be fatal, so it was better to think of a way to resolve it.
Method.
Rumei thought about the well platforms she had seen in the countryside before, and took a look at the holes and said to her father: "This water is connected to the Qinghe River.
Many people have died in the river, and I have also fallen in.
Why don't we build the well platform and the well mouth into a Bagua shape?
Maybe it can dissolve evil spirits and block evil spirits.”
Because of Grandma Ru Mei's dream, Ru Mei's father was more in awe of the theory of ghosts and gods, and he was also thinking about prospering his children and grandchildren in the future, so he paid great attention to this well.
When Rumei said this, the old man quickly asked: "What did you see in the river?
You never believed this before."
It can be said that none of the young people who have received the new education believe in ghosts and gods.
Can Rumei tell the truth?
Of course not, she quickly said: "No, I'm just afraid that something will happen.
They are all bricks anyway, and they can be made into any shape."
Rumei's father thought for a while and discussed with Rumei's mother.
The two immediately reached a consensus and discussed with Master Huang.
Master Huang was also very happy, "My master once said that Bagua wells can calm down evil objects and ward off evil spirits.
When I was an apprentice, I built several wells like this with my master."
"In recent years, we have destroyed the four olds and fought against superstition.
Even the long beards of old men have been shaved off.
It has become so embarrassing.
You said, how dare I do this?
Now that you said it, let's make it simple.
Even the Red Guards won't be able to pick it out when they come."
Something went wrong."
Ru Mei's eyes lit up, "There is a way" Master Huang smiled and said, "Just make the platform and the wellhead look like Bagua.
As long as there are no Bagua symbols engraved on the bricks, we won't be afraid of anyone checking.
We will stick to the eight anise just to look good.
The Commune Revolutionary Committee will come looking for trouble." , and he had nothing to say.”
Father Rumei nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, dig a well and use it properly, but don't dare to turn a good thing into a bad thing."
After saying that, he took out another cigarette and lit it for Master Huang, "Please take the trouble."
"It's easy to say."
Master Huang said a few words to another master and two workers.
He broke off the willow branches and wrote calculations on the dirt.
He looked up at Rumei's father and said, "Brother, with this change, I I didn’t bring enough bricks.”
Rumei's father now has money in his hands and wants to build a century-old well as he wishes.
He waved his hand and said, "If you don't have enough, buy it.
I'll pay for it.

You can't leave where you want the bricks, so let me three boys go."
Of course Master Huang was happy, "It doesn't cost a lot of money, but the road is a bit long.
There is a brick kiln twenty miles away in the south of the county.
I will ask the workers to follow it so that we can find a way.
Let's go now, it will be dark."
Can come back.”
It was only mid-morning, and the strong young man had fast legs and feet.
He could make a round trip of forty miles in one day. s: Recommend my completed articles "Farmer's Wife Turns Back: Military Commander Please Go Away", "Farmer Girl Cooking God", "The Development of a Medical Concubine" Rebirth in the 70s: Tian's wife is ruthless and arrogant :
