Father is a lacquer tree

The hottest day of the year is the father's busiest, hardest, and most suffering day.

In the first ten days of the summer solstice, my father will begin all preparations for cutting paint. First, lacquer nails. The father cut a hard wood called a chestnut tree from a distant mountain, saw it grow into a small section of nine centimeters, broke it into small pieces with an axe, and then used a machete to knead the pieces into four nails four centimeters thick. The process of lacquering nails is very slow. The maximum number of nails in a day is only seventy or eighty. The nails that we usually use at home have to be at least three hundred, so we will keep on squatting for a few days, even if we have old hands. Grind out a few black blood bubbles. After the nails are finished, they should be placed on the fire to dry them. This will be as hard as nails, and people will be safe and secure. Next is the paint road and paint nails. Once the lacquered woods are formed, few people will cultivate them again. After a year and a half, they will become thorny. The father will use a machete to cut out the paint road in the thorns. Every lacquer tree will be cut around. It is light and sleek, so that it can be used freely when cutting paint. After the paint road was repaired, the father began to paint the nail along this road. The father stood on the ground and naturally lifted his left ankle and felt it on the lacquered tree. If there was a comfortable place, he quickly took out the paint nails and lifted it up. The axe only heard "咣, 咣, 咣", and the first nail was smashed into the body of the lacquer tree. The father stood firmly on the ground and raised his right foot. One, sometimes a tall lacquered tree is to be painted with five or six lacquered nails, which looks like the guards of the arrows in the body. The third process is to put paint water. It is said that the lacquers released by the old lacquer wares of the lacquer road will only produce more lacquer, because they can combine the texture of the lacquer tree, the yin and yang and other factors to accurately find the best position, using the lacquer that is polished. The knife cuts out a "V" shaped lacquer opening. A lacquered lacquer tree can hold six to eight lacquered lacquers. The owner does not put a lacquer opening, because they know how to take care of them while they are ingesting; The lacquered tree of the old dragon bell, even if the body has been cut and bruised, put four or five paint mouths, and the lacquer tree is like a silkworm: "To the old lacquer side." A paint mouth must be cut four knives, "V" shaped left two knives The two knives on the right side, the paint that puts the paint on the water is generally wasted in the way of "painting the gods". Those juices rushed out of the paintway. If the turn was long, the master who put the paint on the water would lean his head and smugly aim at the owner and say, "Let's believe, the paint water we put is just found. The idea is up." At this time, both the owner and the master who came to the house will have a smirk of laughter. The fourth process of cutting paint is to paint the leaves. The lacquer leaves are collected on the mountain by a kind of leaf called "Golden thorn". This kind of leaves has good toughness and moderate thickness. It seems to be naturally used for lacquering. Unfortunately, this kind of leaf is one-off. Later, people have more innovations. Replace it with plastic paper or shells for continuous use. In addition, there must be a steel fire paint knife, several paint buckets, a set of lacquer, a small bamboo pole.

My father cuts paint for the summer vacation. He gets up very early every day. I often wake up with the sound of his closing. I subconsciously look out the window. The light of the sky is looming. At this time, my heart will always pass a thought: my father is really bitter. what! I fell asleep again. The air in the morning is very good, my father is usually cutting paint, I am usually sleeping. When I got up from the bed and had lunch, it was already 11:00 noon. The solar furnace in June and July was like a roasting earth. The sky was cloudless, the blue was so boring, I looked around, everywhere. Shining a group of flames, it is dizzying. People rarely come out to activities, let alone do farm work. Knowing that the scorpion was screaming in the lacquered woods and in the valley, it seemed to never tire. At this time, my father was still painting on the mountain. On such a hot day, he was thirsty and hungry. He climbed from the tree to the tree in the lacquered woods like a steamer. His father was really bitter!

Paint is very corrosive to the skin, but some people are not afraid, and some people are afraid. Even if the former is accidentally stained, the leeks are chopped and the juice is squeezed on it. It can be cured in a day or two. The latter is also close to the paint and will be washed by the paint. If it is directly on the skin, it will be miserable. This gray-white liquid will make you very itchy, and then it will be red, swollen, and rotten, and you will not be rested for a few days. The father belongs to the latter. Every time the paint is cut, the face, neck and chest will be seriously infected by the paint. The skin becomes a piece of paper that is wrinkled and then unfolded. I feel that this piece of paper is touched by hand. It is different from touching the old paint bark. This layer of old lacquer bark will be removed within ten days, and the tender skin that has grown will be eroded. The father cut a lacquer, and from the summer solstice to the autumn, the skin of the body will be repeated many times. I often hear him say that the whole body is stiff and the skin is tight. I can't help but think: What is the taste of this "tightening"? Those who have not cut the paint are also licking this special taste. But the father was not afraid, he resolutely suffered this sore pain!

I finally saw how my father was so ruined by paint. At noon that day, I gave him food and water. When I panted and climbed to the lacquered woods on the mountainside, he was really busy. Every lacquer tree he would visit twice, first from the left along the paint road to the right. When cutting the paint, the knife must be accurate, and the force should be tight, otherwise the paint will not flow out smoothly. He stood on the lacquered nail, held the lacquer tree with his left hand, raised the sharp paint knife with his right hand, and quickly cut it to the "V" shaped lacquer mouth, only listening to the bang, and the cut lacquer bark was like a half-section strip. Dial out for a long time. Then hurriedly took out the paint leaves, folded in two folds, and stuck the formed utensils in the pre-shaved paint bark under the paint. The process was fast, the paint leaves just stuck, and the paint climbed down like a paint. After the cut, the father sat on the stone, and after several inferior cigarettes were sucked, he followed the paint road from the right to the left. The paint and the paint are not dare to be sloppy, especially the paint. The father is old and clumsy. I saw that one foot was standing on the paint nail, the other foot was entangled in the lacquer tree, and the paint leaves were carefully removed from the "V" shaped lacquer under the paint mouth, and the paint collected in each paint leaf was the most Five money, the father is one tenth of the money can not bear to ruin, always spread the paint leaves, put it in the palm of the left hand, stretch out the right index finger and follow the stained leaves to make a sigh, the paint leaves will be clean as ever. The father's index finger was covered with paint, and he scraped it on the edge of the paint bucket. A drop of paint was immediately added to the paint bucket. He kept groaning, scratching and smashing, causing many parts to be damaged by paint. My father saw me on the side and "appreciated" his paint. The tiredness of his face was immediately smeared with a moment of joy. "Today's paint is still worth it. It may be a few more than yesterday. If it goes like this, if the weather does not rain. Delay, this year can still be three or four thousand dollars." When the father said this, the dry face passed a smile. I know that he wants to laugh. It is the fleshy skin on his face that makes him laugh and hurt, so his smile looks awkward and contrived. In my heart, there was a raging tide, reaching the whole body with lightning. The father stood on the old lacquered tree. His body was like a tree, and it was so thin that it was flustered. The money earned by cutting paint!

If it is not the price of paint, I think that few farmers in this world will like this chore. It’s not easy for a few peasants’ money to come. When they work hard, they only get a hundred and eighty yuan in the dark. They have to be looked at by other people’s faces. They can’t even get money in a year. The paint is different, and the bitterness is bitter. But the cut is dignified, the cut is straightforward, and sometimes a kind of pride is cut, because cutting paint is equal to earning cash. I always remember that in 1997, the price of paint in that year was unprecedentedly high, and a pound sold for 50 yuan. More intelligent people are doing their hands and feet in the paint. Five pounds can make up nine pounds. This is more cost-effective. . However, my father, my father, he is a honest and honest farmer. He does not make a fake, but also eloquently said that he did not want to pay for the conscience. As a result, the registration fee I went to the city to use was hard to use. Pounds of fine paint.

Today, the price of earthen paint is stable at 80 yuan a pound, and he cuts a few pounds of paint a day. It is a high income in rural areas. No wonder his father will be happy for a few paints. The reason why the earth paint has such a good price is that its reputation is good. It is known as the “National Paint” and is a natural coating that is far from chemically harmful substances. The second is its good performance. Raw lacquer has many properties such as acid resistance, alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, rust prevention, moisture resistance, radiation resistance, insulation, etc. The third is its wide application. Raw lacquer is used in lacquer crafts, wood furniture, ancient architecture, not only lacquer finish, but also anti-corrosion and heat resistance, durable, and the color is deep and steady, the light can be seen, no less than the famous piano paint; "The king of paint." Such a good thing, let people use more than one hundred and twenty reassurance?

After returning farmland to forests, my father planted a lot of lacquer trees, some are thriving, and some have been cut off the last meridian, dedicated to the essence of life. My father is still cutting, next year, the year after... He said that he is really unable to cut, so let me come back to learn to cut in the summer. My father worked hard for this family for the rest of his life. In the past few years, I was studying in the field, and sometimes I was working in the rainy days. I know that my father is now "cutting", but I watched it, but I couldn't do anything about it. Let his last years and the lacquer tree grow old together!

I hope that my hard-working father will end this hard day at an early date. On several occasions, I dreamt that my father has become an old lacquer tree. He smiled and shouted at my milk name and said, "You... come... cut... I...he...".
