Feng Yiping's house is located in the right rear of Feng Jiachong, which was originally a bamboo garden, and now there are a total of four families. The other three families are in the same situation as Feng Yiping's family, each family has at least two children, and as the children grow up, the original old house is not enough to live in. The old houses are all connected in patches, and there is no place to expand, so three years ago, several families built new houses in this bamboo garden.

In the past, in the countryside, there were very few materials to buy to build such adobe houses.

Such a house is mainly made of three materials, adobe bricks, wood, and tiles.

The adobe bricks are all made in-house. There is a yellow mud swing next to the mound, dig up the yellow mud from there, add some water, let the ox step on it, and then add straw and tell the ox to continue to step on it. After stepping on it, scoop the mud into the brick mold - it is a rectangular wooden frame, and then the person stands up, steps on it, and then uses a stone knife to repair the brick surface to make it smooth, and finally remove the brick mold, let it be exposed to the sun, and wait for the water to dry, a brick is good.

Of course, there is a lot of wood used to build a house, and this does not cost much. In addition to the fields, every family has a mountain forest, which is all pine trees. However, the ownership of this mountain forest is even more nominal, although the mountain belongs to your family, and those trees are nominally your family, but you can't touch any of them. There is a forest ranger in the village, and he will be fined for cutting down trees. The only good thing is that you can prune the branches once a year, and the cut branches can be taken home and burned as firewood.

Although it is said that it cannot be cut, every family builds a house with trees in the mountains and forests, including the village party secretary. But since there are regulations there, and there is a special person there, it is not easy to do too blatantly when cutting down trees.

Feng Yiping remembers that when he was 8 years old when the timber was prepared, his family of four got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and rushed to their own mountains and forests.

Their family's mountain forest is on the highest place, against the mountains. Three trees were cut down in one morning, and one of his parents was carried, and he and his sister dealt with a smaller one.

Because it was all downhill, his sister, who was four years older than him, walked ahead, and her shoulders were crushed by the freshly cut pine tree. After a few steps, the two little ones should lower their heads and move the tree to the other shoulder, and a few more steps, bow their heads and change to the other shoulder. If I went on like this, I just carried out the forest of my house, and my shoulders were red.

However, the child can also think of a clever method, so he put the tree on the mountain path, he pushed it in the back, and his sister pulled it in front, and when he encountered a ditch and a bumpy place, he lifted it with his hand. It's much more comfortable than using immature shoulders.

Therefore, on the way to cut down the tree, his favorite is the big stone slope, put the tree horizontally, and then push it, and the tree will "goo-dong" and "goo-dong" roll to the bottom, and without a little force, it will be less than ten meters.

The parents did not wait for them and walked straight ahead. In this way, they pushed, pulled, lifted, and carried all the way, and moved home with difficulty.

Next big slope, take a flat road, then the next slope, another slope, and finally a flat road, and a small river in front of it.

In the end, the two of them really didn't have the strength, so they lay on the ground, you pushed me and pulled, and finally, after crossing the small river, facing the stone slope a few feet high, and the long uphill road behind, they really couldn't help it.

At this time, my father sent his own tree home, and then returned, and carried them back again, and the morning's work was done.

This is only the first step, when the tree arrives at home, the bark is shaved off, and then it is left in the pond to soak for a few months, and then it is fished up to dry before it can be used to build a house.

Of course, the wood used to build the house is not a penny, and the most important beam is a big tree that has to grow for many years.

If you can't find a suitable one in the mountains and forests in the village, you have to go to the village in the deeper mountains to find it. First make an appointment with the master of the house, go to the forest to take a good look, and then carry the gifts of cigarettes and canned alcohol to the homes of everyone in the mountains and forests to discuss, which tree we want to use to make the beams of the house, the owner will generally not refuse, and then pay dozens of yuan - generally no more than fifty, you can cut down the tree.

Of course, such a large tree and a farther road cannot be carried by one person, at least four strong laborers take turns to carry it.

Also, after the house is finished, the one who sells the tree is going to give gifts.

Finally, it is the tiles that need to be used, which also costs some money.

In those years, there were many new houses, so the village came forward and everyone built a kiln together.

Tile making is similar to brick making, but the final mold is different.

The tile embryo is made, according to the master's instructions, placed in the kiln, and then it will be burned for dozens of hours - so it is necessary to prepare enough chopping wood, then turn off the fire, and then stuff for dozens of hours, and finally the master opens the kiln, and the tile embryo becomes a blue-black tile, and it is finished.

So, at that time, although the raw materials for building a house were not much money - mainly because there was no money! But the preparation time was very long, and his family's house was made when he was in the third grade, and it is estimated that he was preparing it when he was in the first grade.

When Feng Yiping took the Wenhua brothers to his home, Feng Zhenchang and his good buddy Feng Mingzhi accompanied Feng Chuntang, a carpenter in the hall, to gossip in the hall.

Feng Chuntang joked with him, "Yiping, are you okay with the cows?

Feng Yiping also smiled and said, "Anyway, its belly is bulging, like it is pregnant with a calf." ”

Everyone laughed.

After entering the room, he was currently busy on the stove, and Feng Yiping consciously sat behind the stove to add firewood.

"They drink at night, and it is estimated that they will drink for another half a day, so you eat this bowl of noodles first. Saying that, Mei Qiuping poured a bowl of cold noodles into the pot, divided it into three portions after it was hot, and gave them three, of course, Feng Yiping's bowl was the most.

When entertaining guests at home, housewives and children generally do not serve at the table, and they do not eat until they have finished drinking. Mei Qiuping knew that her son was hungry when he could eat, and by eight or nine o'clock in the evening, his stomach would already be croaking, so he had an extra handful in the afternoon.

The noodles are home-pulled oil noodles, which were introduced in CCTV's "A Bite of China", which was left over from the carpenter Feng Chuntang in the afternoon.

In the countryside, craftsmen enter the door to do things, such as carpenters, lacquer makers, and carpenters, and have to take care of two meals at noon and in the evening, as well as tobacco and alcohol.

In addition, before the two main meals, in the morning and halfway through the afternoon, the host always prepares food, which is usually noodles. Similar to the English afternoon tea, but these craftsmen enjoyed it more than the English gentleman, not only afternoon tea, but also morning tea.

A bowl of noodles was sparsely populated by Feng Yiping, and it was put into his stomach in a few minutes, Mei Qiuping taught him a lesson while stir-frying, "No one robbed you again, eat so fast?"

The Wenhua brothers held the bowl and laughed beside them.

Fried peanuts, fried bacon with chili, fried tofu, scrambled eggs with loofah, boiled cucumbers with bacon, and a plate of emei beans, six dishes, in the countryside, can be regarded as hearty.

They drank slowly, took a sip of wine, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then chatted for a long time, after drinking a glass of wine, when pouring the wine, you and I talked for a long time. The amount of alcohol is also limited, and it is estimated that it is the most at most, and it is only half a catty and eight taels at the level of the sky. Therefore, Feng Yiping has always felt that they are not drinking, but just using drinking as an excuse to eat food and chat.

At eight o'clock, before she finished drinking, Mei Qiuping filled two bowls of rice, sandwiched some dishes, let Wenhua and Wenhui eat first, and after eating, she found a flashlight and asked Feng Yiping to send them home.

The Milky Way lies in the sky, the starlight is gently scattered above the village, the windows of the people on the side of the road emit a dim light, the whole village is very quiet, the insects in the grass are very clear, and there is a faint sound of laughter in the threshing floor in front of the mound.

At this time, televisions are far from being popular in rural homes, and electric fans are also luxuries, so you can't sleep too early in the morning on such a hot day. So after dinner, after taking a shower, the mosquito-repellent artemisia grass was burned on the edge of the threshing floor, and the family moved the bamboo bed to the threshing floor, lying on it, shaking the big pu fan, and chatting in the cool air.

Feng Yiping used to like this time the most, there were always old people talking about the ancients, talking about fighting bandits in the early years, and talking about some anecdotes about walking at night and encountering ghosts, snakes and insects. In an era when there was no radio to listen to, no magazines to read, and no television to watch, this was a rare good pastime. Oh, it seems that Pu Songling's book "Liao Zhai" also listens to these stories everywhere and collects materials.

After the grandfathers finished speaking, it was their turn to be middle-aged, and they talked about the stories of their childhood, the three years of natural disasters, the story of not being hungry and not having enough to eat, and the fact that they did not go to school during the special period, and criticized the parade. Which other relative is in the county, divided a big house, TV, washing machine, refrigerator are all available, and also installed a telephone, his son studied too hard, was short-sighted in elementary school, and spent hundreds of yuan with a pair of glasses. In another village, there is a smart child who has been admitted to university, and his parents are doing death and work at home, not to mention, looking for people to help borrow money, and saying that they want to let that child study for a doctorate in the future......

Of course, in the end, there will be a summary of the main theme, mainly for the children, to cherish, to be industrious, to work hard, to be thrifty, to be filial...... , specific to daily life, is to listen to the words of parents, do what is called, listen to the teacher, study ...... well.

However, when Feng Yiping graduated from junior high school, with the popularization of televisions and a few home appliances, most of the young people went out to work, and this situation can only be recalled.

Sending them home, Wenhua asked, "Uncle, do you still have to herd cattle tomorrow?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said, "don't follow, I have to chop wood tomorrow, and I don't have time to accompany you." So, when I come back tomorrow, will I bring you grapes?"

Where he herded his cattle, there was a wild grape, I don't know what variety, but the grain was very large.

The two guys were a little happy at this point.
