? It was very hot this morning. According to the schedule of building the house, master rammer came to the yard early. After careful consideration in the dug geosyncline, he found several corners that needed to be corrected and guided me to brush my face smoothly.

Then he opened the rammer and began to tamp the foundation. The machine thumps monotonously and rhythmically. The atmosphere is like summer, a bit dull.

I suddenly remembered the scene of manual tamping when I was a child. It's really lively. With a huge stone roll, several wooden sticks are tied horizontally, and then 6 to 8 people lift and fall together. They often have bare backs and a towel around their necks. The labor trumpeter shouted together: We have laid a solid foundation! One or two; Let's work harder, one, two; We are not afraid of being tired! One, two slogans are loud and lively With the slogan, the stone mill rises and falls rhythmically. Sweat splashed everywhere, or rolled down on the smooth back. After each tamping. The landlord gave a banquet in the evening to entertain the rammer, drank three glasses of wine, and the sound of drinking fists rang in his ears again, which rang loudly in the countryside at night.

The banging sound of the machine rang in my ear and broke my memory. It's still a monotonous and rhythmic thump.
