Chapter Forty-Six: Yan Bian is bitter about seesawing

There is a saying: Eat water by the water, eat the mountains by the mountains. The people who drag the wooden ridge naturally eat the mountain, and there are a lot of materials on the mountain, and the main material is the trees.

The main timber used to build a house is timber: wooden roof trusses, rows (logs that resist tiling), beams, floor slabs, doors and windows.

The furniture is basically made of wood: wooden beds, tables, stools, chairs, wooden water tanks, buckets, dung buckets, wooden washbasins, foot basins, bath basins, wooden barns, cabinets, wardboxes.

The agricultural tools used for farming are basically made of wood: waterwheels for irrigating fields, smashing ploughs for smashing fields, square buckets for building grains, and windmills for separating grains.

There is also firewood for boiling water and rice, and charcoal for heating in winter.

It can be said that the people in the mountains are separated from the trees, and it is difficult to walk an inch.

People need a large number of trees, and the trees grow on the mountains, and the mountains are too tall and the trees are too big to move, so they need to be broken down, or sawn into sections, or sawn into pieces, pieces. Therefore, the sawing board master carpentry master came into being, and sawing the board and doing carpentry have become popular crafts.

Whoever wants to take wood will build a thatched hut on the mountain, and ask the sawing master to go directly up the mountain to saw. The sawing board is a work of strength, and it is the food of a strong and strong man, and a man with short feet can only stand aside.

The tool for sawing a board is very simple, just a saw, made of iron, wide and thick, more than five feet long, and the tips of the teeth are separated from the middle and obliquely to the sides.

The sound of the sawyman holding the hammer was a beautiful melody.

The sawing work is also simple, as needed, two waist-high three-legged stools are supported at intervals, and the logs to be sawn are firmly fixed on the stool with a grab, and then a strong man pulls and loosens the saws to cut out a piece of planks.

Yan Yongnong is a good carpenter, although he does not come to work, but he has never stopped doing carpentry at home, and he needs a lot of planks to make furniture, and it happens that there is wood on his mountain, so he usually asks someone to go to the mountain to cut down trees and come back, and then ask the sawing master to come to the door to sawn the logs into the required materials.

Yan Yongnong makes all kinds of furniture, from beds and kitchen utensils to buckets and washbasins, so he needs wide, long, thick, straight planks, and narrow, short, thin, and curved planks, but the amount of the latter material is small, and he only needs to take it from relatively small wood.

If the latter material is also sawed, it will not be able to be rowed. Saws of this material are also small saws with teeth tilted to one side. One person can saw, and two people can saw.

One day, Yan Yongnong put the wood on the two small three-legged stools, stepped on the wood with his left foot, held the saw with both hands, and sawed the board. ”

"You're small, it's not something you can do. Yan Yongnong said.

"Dad, you always treat me as a three-year-old cub, I'm eight years old! Yan Bianzhao's face was full of displeasure.

"Ah, ah, my son has grown up and become a big child. I'm going to have to teach you the craft, come, you pull your hands, learn the sawing first. ”

Yan Bianzhao squatted on the ground, holding the saw, and the two of them pulled and pushed the saw. Yan Yongnong likes to sing, and whenever there is an accompaniment in his ears, he can't help but hum it. So he sang the ballad: "Push the saw, push the saw, push the sound and pull out the sawdust,--------。 ”

The pleasant singing and happy labor made Yan Bianxi very envious, and she said to Yan Bianzhao: "Brother, let me play." ”

"If I don't pull it for you, I'll learn to speak. "Yan Bianzhao can't do it, because his hobby for this activity is on the rise.

"The eyes are the masters, as long as you look at them. Yan Bianxi said.

"This is what a boy does, what are you a girl doing to make a fuss? I don't want you to do it, I don't want you to do it, I want to fake a horse. Yan Yongnong said a few words and ran away from Yan Bianxi.

After pulling for a while, Yan Bianzhao's hand softened, and because his feet were sore after squatting for a long time, he obviously made a tired look. Yan Yongnong asked, "Cub, are you tired?"

"Sort of. Yan Bianzhao said.

"Rest, get some water, get something to eat. Yan Yongnong said.

When Yan Yongnong lost his help and then saw again, he obviously felt much more difficult, he thought of Yan Bianxi and immediately shouted: "Xixi, didn't you say that you don't want to learn the saw? Come, come and try your Taoism." ”

Yan Bianxi ran away because of her father's restraint, she didn't want to go, if Yan Bianzhao came to beg her, even if she wanted to do that thing in her heart, she would not go, and now her father shouted that she had to go, and she didn't dare not go.

The treatment she received when she was in the tug of war was not as generous as Yan Bianzhao, and she couldn't enjoy the happiness of labor like Yan Bianzhao, and her father's singing became a continuous chanting:

"Look at you, look at you, there is a moment or not, there is light or not. ”

"Big mouthful, and said don't learn, just watch! It's easy to see things, but it's hard to do things!"

Yan Bianxi listened and tried to pull suddenly, Yan Yongnong shouted: "You haven't eaten, you have soft foot plague? If you don't work hard, Lao Tzu will dig you to death with a chestnut bone {index finger and middle finger bending}!"

Although Yan Bianzhao was praised by his father every time he saw, and Yan Bianxi was criticized by his father when he was sawing, his father always liked to shout Yan Bian Xila. The reason for this does not rule out that his father did not let Yan Bianzhao be affected, mainly because Yan Bianxi was better than Yan Bianzhao.

Yan Bianxi's competition for victory and strength made her cause endless trouble, because she always saw her father say that her brother was good and said that she was not good, so she became more serious and conscientious, and always wanted to surpass her brother in skills and get a word of praise from her father.

In essence, her saw-saw skills are much stronger than Yan Bianzhao's, and they have reached the level of becoming a teacher, but she always has something to chew on for her father.

No matter how well she did it, she didn't satisfy her father, and she couldn't get a good word from her father. What a thankless effort!

If she had been rambling at the beginning, her father would have felt that she really couldn't do such a thing, so she wouldn't have been so tired and so maimed (hurt).

Now Yan Bianxi has an important job after returning home from school is tug-of-war, Yan Yongnong specially designed a new set of tug-of-war methods for Yan Bianxi, which is more effective and fast to let Yan Bianxi fully exert her work.

He placed the short tube on the threshold against the door frame, nailed the wood to the door frame with a grasping nail, and then pressed the wood against the other frame of the door with a brace, so that the wood to be sawn was fixed to the door.

When sawing wood from above, Yan Bian was happy to reach it, Yan Yongnong moved two stone piers for her to step on, and as the saw went down, she went down to the ground and pulled, and then bent down to pull, and finally knelt down on one knee to pull.

Even if Yan Bianxi's sawing skills reached the point of perfection, he still couldn't meet Yan Yongnong's requirements, because his requirements were too high. He calculated how many boards he wanted to boundary for a tree tube, and he used the ink line to pop up one line after another, and when sawing, the saw should go along the ink road, and the ink could not be deviated.

If the sawn plank is thick, it is difficult for him to cut it and plan, and it will also affect the thickness of the next plank. It's easy to do if it's thick, but it takes a little time, sharpens it, and planes it. If it's thin, it's hard to do, because it can't be mended, and such a board can only be used as a scrap.

So a little off, her father's "horn brain" dug into her head and "clanged". Or her father gritted his teeth and scolded: "Those who eat and die will be blind to the oil and salt shaker!"

Yan Bianxi pulls a straight line saw, and is beaten and scolded less, and the arc saw is beaten and scolded more. This saw is a straight board, it is a straight road, and it must be lame to make it go arc, so the person who pulls the saw must master it well above the force, and it will derail if he is not careful.

Yan Bianxi was reluctant to go home and was afraid to go home. She was most reluctant and hated and afraid to see her father, and her father seemed to like to see her very much, and her father watched at the door every noon after school.

Seeing that she was coming back from afar, he pulled at his throat and shouted, "Hurry up, take a step." As soon as Yan Bianxi heard this voice, the thorns in his body softened, and he wanted to cry, so he wanted to go back and immediately turned around and went back to school, and he didn't eat any food.

Hurry up and go on the clock! Yan Bianxi pulled the saw and looked away at the clock on the wall, but the clock was not at all walking there as slowly as she wished. She immediately thought of a way to help the clock run, and she counted the numbers as she pushed and pulled as she pushed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5---------。 In this way, the clock came to school time, and she was liberated.

In the politics class, the teacher asked the students to talk about their ideals, most of the boys said that they would become the People's Liberation Army in the future, and some said that they would become doctors and workers, Wang Xueli said that he wanted to be an official, and Yan Bianxi said that he wanted to be a teacher. These lofty ideals have been admired and praised by everyone.

When everyone was talking about their ideals, Yan Bianzhao was secretly playing with his own building blocks, and the teacher asked him: "Yan Bianzhao, you haven't said your ideals yet?"

"I want to be a good carpenter!" Yan Bianzhao said. As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a ridicule of "shh

The teacher said: "There is no distinction between high and low occupations, people from all walks of life must be engaged in it, as long as you don't steal or rob, you can do anything, labor is the most glorious." Well, everyone has their own ideals and goals in life, so how can we realize our ideals? At present, your task is to study hard and gain knowledge and ability. With the continuous development of society, all walks of life are progressing, and the requirements for talents are higher, it is far from enough for you to only study in primary and secondary schools, and if you want to get rid of poverty and change backwardness, you have to go out of the mountain villages and go to university------。 ”

The teacher's latter sentence inspired Yan Bianxi a lot, and she secretly thought that if she wanted to leave home and get rid of the pain of labor, she must study hard, first go to junior high school and leave home, then go to high school and go farther, and then go to college and fly away.
