Chapter 34 Logging
After Zhou Quan went home, although Jiang Xiaolin bought them a lot of things, she couldn't help but say a few words to her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info But he also knew that his niece was not short of money, so he didn't care about it, Jiang Xiaolin was usually in the provincial capital, and he couldn't manage it.
When Zhou Quan heard Jiang Xiaolin say that he wanted to build a bookcase, he naturally agreed and decided to go up the mountain to find wood tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhou Quan took Jiang Xiaolin out, accompanied by Zhou He, and this leather boy also insisted on following them up the mountain to play. The road up the mountain from the Zhou family was passing through the courtyard of the Yu family, and when he arrived at the door, Zhou Quan stopped and shouted towards the courtyard: "Is the eldest brother of the Yu family at home?"
"Your eldest brother went to the field, and he couldn't be idle if he didn't go for a day. Huang Cuilan was washing the dishes and holding her hand, so she came out of the kitchen and said.
"Old sister-in-law, I'm going up the mountain to cut a piece of wood and borrow a strong man from your family. β
"No problem, eldest and second, go and do your Uncle Zhou a favor. Huang Cuilan came out of the kitchen and shouted into the house.
The head brother in the house was chatting, and when he heard the shouts outside, Yu Zhenye stood up, but the second Yu Zhenrong was not very happy to move, so he shouted at his mother: "Mom, I'm going to go to Siya's house later." β
Siya is the nickname of Yu Zhenrong's fiancΓ©e Wang Chunmei, who is the fourth in the family, is the oldest, and they will get married after the year.
"You're both getting married, so let's see each other less. β
According to the previous rules, you can't meet before getting married, and this new era is not so particular, but Huang Cuilan still thinks it's best to be rare.
"It's Siya's dad who called me over. β
In fact, Yu Zhenrong just wanted to find an excuse, although he was not a lazy man, he did his own farm work. But in this cold winter, he is not willing to do things that are purely beneficial to help people.
The mother and son shouted, Yu Zhenye and Yu Zhenxing had already walked to the door, Yu Zhenxing shouted at the kitchen: "Mom, I'll go!"
Huang Cuilan's heart moved, and the third child followed Zhou Quan to help, if Zhou Quan could be ...... This is better, so he agreed: "Go, be diligent, don't let your Uncle Zhou be tired." β
Zhou Quan heard it clearly at the door, and also said: "Let the eldest nephew take the handle alone, and cut a piece of wood." β
"Let them go, move their muscles, or this winter will be at home cats." Huang Cuilan laughed.
Yu Zhenye went out and saw Jiang Xiaolin who was following Zhou Quan, with a smile on her white little face, a hat and scarf with red wool, and her eyes were dark and bright, which was indescribably lovely.
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other as a greeting, but no one noticed.
The five of them marched all the way up the mountain, and although there was some snow on the ground on the mountain forest road in winter, it was not particularly difficult to walk. The snow was full of dead branches and leaves, and it creaked when walking.
Yu Zhenxing is only nineteen years old this year, one year older than Jiang Xiaolin, but he is still like a child, playing with Zhou He, the two of them chased and ran up the mountain, and Zhou He kept pestering him to learn to set a pheasant.
"Uncle Zhou, it's almost the New Year, what are you doing chopping wood at this time?" asked Yu Zhenye.
"Hehe, this is not our family Xiaolin, I came back this time and brought back a lot of books, I will make her a bookcase for books. β
Yu Zhenye glanced at the girl walking beside her, it turned out that she needed it. He remembered the stack of books he had carried all the way home, and he didn't know how this girl, who looked a little thin, got on the train.
"The book that Eiko brought home yesterday is also yours, right?"
"Yes. Jiang Xiaolin felt the need to explain to Yu Ying, "Actually, that bottle of alabaster was bought by me on my own initiative for Yingzi, not from her." I treat Yingzi as my sister, and I bought both Sister Hui and Pingping, so I brought a bottle for Yingzi as well. β
"I know she'll never ask for something no matter what. No one will stop you from having a relationship, just don't buy anything for her, just pick a few good books and lend them to her. β
"Well, good. What Yingzi took away was "Dream of Red Mansions", one of the four famous works of ancient China, which is very classic. β
Yu Zhenye glanced at her again, he didn't mean to teach this little girl, why did she seem to have been explaining to him.
He simply stopped talking, knowing that he was used to being serious in the army, and he spoke to the soldiers in the company in a critical and educational tone, and he was used to talking to his superiors, and he was really not good at chatting with little girls.
"Hmm. β
Jiang Xiaolin looked at him, thought about it and said, "I know that Yingzi's wish is to go to college, and Yingzi is very smart and promising. I will also pay attention to her schoolwork, and I will definitely help where I can. β
"Thank you. Yu Zhenye knew that she was really worried about her sister, from review materials to alabaster to extracurricular reading materials, he should solemnly thank her.
"You're welcome, I really think of Eiko as a sister. Jiang Xiaolin was a little embarrassed, so she stopped talking.
Yu Zhenshan didn't notice her sudden silence, but paid attention to this mountain forest.
The trees on the mountain are all owned by the public, in fact, they cannot be cut down privately. It's just that the production team in the village has already existed in name only, and no one has contracted this mountain forest, so if you just cut down one or two trees, no one will care.
Zhou Quan has already selected a cedar tree that is quite old, with a thick and straight trunk, and it is difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to embrace it alone. She looked at the big tree that was about to fall to the ground and made her a bookcase, and remembered the environmental protection that the government spared no effort to promote in later generations, and her eyelids jumped.
People in this era are not aware of the importance of sustainable development, and in their eyes, just cutting down a forest all over the mountains is not a big deal.
After choosing the direction to let the trees fall, Zhou Quan told Jiang Xiaolin and Zhou He not to go near that direction, and then took the big saw with Yu Zhenye.
This pulling the big saw is indeed a manual work, Jiang Xiaolin really didn't expect it to be so laborious in advance, two adult men, plus Yu Zhenxing, a young man, took most of the day to make this tree fall to the ground.
This is not over, and he took an axe to cut off the branches and branches, leaving a section of the smooth trunk, and Zhou Quancai tied the wood with the rope prepared in advance, and dragged him back to the village with Yu Zhenye.
The Yu brothers kept sending the trunk to the Zhou family's yard before saying they were going home.
Jiang Xiaolin went into the kitchen when she went home and wanted to pour some water for everyone to drink, who knew that the two brothers wanted to leave after putting down the wood, she chased them out and said to them: "Brother Yu, thank you for your hard work, come to my house for dinner in the evening." β
"No need ......"
"If you want to come, you are coming today, thanks to the two of you, I must come over in the evening, Zhenye will come to drink two cups with Uncle Zhou. Zhou Quan also thinks this proposal is good. "Usually no one drinks at home, but it's rare for you and me to drink two sips. β
"Then it's settled, I'll cook in the evening, even if it's a thank you for contributing to my bookcase. Jiang Xiaolin is ready to show her skills.
"You?" let her say this, Zhou Quan hesitated, her niece has never been in the kitchen since she was a child, although she can make some steamed buns in the next half a year, but who knows if the whole table of dishes for entertaining people can be done.
"Don't worry, you just wait and see!" Jiang Xiaolin patted her chest and promised, and hurriedly ran back to the kitchen to look at the materials, she said a lot of things, but don't show your cowardice because of the lack of things.
