The dinner was indeed simple, much worse than the food at Chen Siliang's house.

Although Chen Siliang's family is not very rich, it is considered to be at the upper level in the village. He usually goes to work as a coolie, and he has a hundred dollars a day. Coupled with the crops at home, the small life is still quite moist.

However, he is an honest person, and he doesn't pay attention to food, he eats whatever Chen Yang eats.

After eating, the uncle and nephew began to work.

Because there are more peanuts today, one big iron pot is obviously not enough, so Chen Siliang went home and moved two big iron pots, plus the two big iron pots in Chen Yang's house, there are four.

A large iron pot can boil 200 catties of peanuts at one time, and four large iron pots can boil 800 catties.

But there is only one big stove in Chen Yang's house.

So for convenience, the two of them built four collapsed concave stoves in the small courtyard with large cement bricks.

It doesn't matter if you don't fix it with cement, because each of these large cement bricks is not lightweight, and when stacked together, it is generally difficult to shake.

The courtyard of Chen Yang's house is long and narrow, and although it is nearly 20 meters long, it is less than 2 meters wide. This spaciousness is very small compared to the big families in the village, and even just compared with Chen Siliang's family.

Chen Siliang said while stacking the stove with cement bricks: "Xiaoyang, your yard is too small, when you have money, it is better to build a big house, it is better to get a big yard, it is convenient to do everything." ”

Chen Yang smiled: "That's right, but I don't have any money now." ”

"Didn't you say before that you would dig the foundation at the end of this year?" Chen Siliang thought of this and felt puzzled.

Since Chen Yang said that he would dig the foundation at the end of this year, it means that he actually has a little money. But why is there no money now?

Chen Yang wanted to tell the fourth uncle about his wife running away and taking away 100,000 yuan, but he felt that it was useless to say it, but it would only annoy his relatives and friends who cared about him, so he held back and didn't say anything.

Moreover, the matter has already passed, and there is no need to hold on to it.

Instead of putting these bad things in your stomach and making yourself depressed, it is better to pull them out like and wash them away with water.

Worrying about the past doesn't make you strong, but working hard can make you strong.

When Chen Yang thought about it, his heart suddenly brightened a lot.

He smiled indifferently: "It's not that the plan can't catch up with the changes." I'm afraid I won't be able to build a house this year, but when I have money, I'll build a big house as soon as possible. ”

The purpose of building a big house is not to prove to the villagers that he has the ability, but to have a solid big house so that Xiao Qian can sleep peacefully.

Having a spacious and large yard is not to show off anything to the villagers, but just to plant some flowers and plants in it, so that Xiao Qian can have a fairytale-like childhood.

The fourth uncle is honest, of course he won't know Chen Yang's delicate thoughts. He only felt that Chen Yang wanted to build a big house, that is, he wanted to prove his ability.

It's okay in this way, when Xiaoyang has a big house in the future, some people in the village will no longer be able to look down on him.

He laughed twice and went back to work.

The four stoves don't take up a lot of space, but it's not small for a long, narrow yard.

Good enough for the yard.

When you enter the courtyard door, there is a water tank on the left hand side and a cement platform on the right hand side. Walking inside, there is the corridor of the bungalow, which is about ten meters long. It is about more than a meter wide.

A little further into the water tank is the cement stove.

Four cement stoves are lined up in a row, side by side between the high walls and the bungalows.

After the cement stove is built, put four large iron pots that have been cleaned, pour peanuts, pour water, add spices, stir well, then cover the large pot, and then prepare the firewood to be burned tomorrow morning.

Looking at the few firewoods at the gate of the courtyard, the fourth uncle said worriedly: "Xiaoyang, you don't have much firewood in your house, and if it goes on like this, it won't be burned for long." ”

But no, over the years, Chen Yang has to go to work on the construction site, plant crops, and go into the mountains to chop firewood.

Recently, in order to take care of his son, he didn't have time to go into the mountains to chop firewood, and it took a lot of firewood to boil peanuts, so he didn't want to burn the firewood before.

"It's fine. Chen Yang said while picking up firewood, "I'll post a notice early tomorrow morning and collect some firewood." ”

"I'm afraid I won't get it. The fourth uncle walked into the yard with a bundle of firewood, and said very worriedly, "Now almost every household in the village burns gas and electricity, and occasionally goes into the mountains to chop some firewood, which is also to be kept for winter." Two years ago, we couldn't get firewood, and now we can't get it. ”

Don't look at the fourth uncle being too honest, but this is very reasonable.

Although firewood is everywhere in the mountains, because young people go out to work and earn a little money, the old people who stay in the village are basically only responsible for taking care of the children and planting some crops.

Occasionally, I would go into the mountains to find some wild goods in exchange for some pocket money.

However, very few people go into the mountains to cut firewood in order to sell firewood.

Unlike when Chen Yang was a child, 100 catties of firewood could only be sold for two yuan, and he had to use the No. 11 car to pick it up to the village on the side of the road to sell it, but at that time, all the people in the village flocked to the mountains to cut firewood.

Nowadays, everyone's economic conditions are better, and the way of life has also undergone earth-shaking changes, from the previous to cut firewood in the mountains, to the use of gas stoves, the use of induction cookers, etc., these changes not only prove that people's lives are getting better and better, but also symbolize the prosperity of the motherland.

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll post the notice tomorrow first, and if I really can't collect it, then the two of us will go into the mountains to chop wood." ”

There's no way around it.

If you can't collect firewood, you'll have to go into the mountains to cut firewood.

Now there is a lot of firewood in the mountains, it is everywhere, and the road is easy to walk, so cutting firewood is not a problem.

The fourth uncle nodded and smiled: "Okay, if we can't collect it, let's go and chop firewood ourselves, and we can save a sum of money to collect firewood." ”

After finishing his work, the fourth uncle was going back.

Before leaving, Chen Yang repeatedly told him to get up at two o'clock in the morning and come to boil peanuts after washing.

The fourth uncle also lived up to expectations, and just after 20 minutes at two o'clock in the middle of the night, he came to the gate of the courtyard wearing stars and moons.

At this time, Chen Yang had just gotten up, and he hadn't even opened the lock of the big iron door.

He opened the door for the fourth uncle and taught the fourth uncle to boil peanuts.

Boiling peanuts is actually nothing particularly important, one is fire, and the other is time.

The water in the peanuts is already added when they are soaked, so there is no need to worry about whether the water will boil dry when boiling.

"Be sure to watch the time. Chen Yang lit up his mobile phone, pointed to the Arabic numerals on it and said, "Fourth uncle, you see, now we have just burned all the firewood, and it is 2:40 at this time, so these peanuts must not be boiled until after 4:40." ”

"Okay, don't worry, I remember. Although the fourth uncle is not as clever as others, he can still remember these things that can be memorized by rote without brains.
