Feng Changshun said again: "Ming'er, I will go into the mountains with my son-in-law, and ask Xingfa to go with his daughter-in-law." Ming Ying also went, picked some wild tea and bamboo shoots to take home, and then netted some fish and shrimp to make do with vegetables. ”

Speaking of this, I hurriedly asked my daughter if there was a net at home.

Feng said no.

Feng Changshun complained again, this time even Feng also complained, saying that she and her son-in-law would not live, would not arrange, etc., there was nothing in this mountain, it was all dead wood, so she knew how to plant and chop wood, and she couldn't think about anything more.

After speaking, he immediately got up, handed the cuckoo to Mrs. Feng, and strode out.

When he came to the door of the room, he turned back to their mother and daughter and whispered, "Keep your mouths in control of me, and it is better to latch them." If you miss a little news, look at you crying! ”

Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng hurriedly nodded violently.

Feng Changshun went out in a hurry.

Here, Mrs. Feng put the cuckoo back on the bed and whispered to her daughter: "Okay, with your father here, you are not afraid of anything." My mother is here to wait for you until the full moon. In the coming year, let's raise another one. Go to sleep. Poor son, after a few days of thinking about this big thing, no one looks like it. Don't think about it anymore! ”

Feng Shi let out a low "um" and lay down obediently.

At this moment, even the cuckoo felt her weakness and dependence on her father.

Outside, Feng Changshun said honestly to Huang: "Son-in-law, I just heard from your mother-in-law that your daughter-in-law hasn't given milk yet." This is not possible! I think she gave birth to the baby on the mountain this time, and carried it down the mountain alone, I'm afraid it will be a big loss. I'll discuss with your mother-in-law, we'll stay one more day tomorrow, help you do the important work at home, and leave the day after tomorrow." Then your mother-in-law stays behind and waits for your daughter-in-law for the full moon, helping her to make up for her body and save her the root of the disease. ”

Huang Laoshi was overjoyed when he heard it, and said hello repeatedly.

He really couldn't ask for it, and with his father-in-law here, he felt that he was more energetic.

Feng Xingfa was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Dad, it doesn't matter if you leave a day later." The day after tomorrow, my mother won't come back with us? ”

Feng Changshun nodded and said, "Your mother stays and serves your sister until the full moon." I'll pick her up on the full moon day. ”

Feng Xingfa said to his brother-in-law dissatisfied: "Your mother can't come to serve?" ”

Feng Changshun waved his hand and said, "Don't say this." My mother-in-law came to serve and couldn't wait, maybe she would vomit. ”

Turning his face to Huang honestly, he said, "Ming'er, I arranged it like this: let's all go up the mountain and leave your mother-in-law to take care of it at home." The three of us men chopped wood, and we tried to chop as much as we could; Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law pick some tea leaves, and then take them to the net fish. You might be able to borrow fishing nets? ”

Huang Laoshi hurriedly said: "Yes, I can borrow it." ”

Feng Xingfa hurriedly said: "Dad, I just asked my brother-in-law, that wild tea grows on the high mountains, not everywhere." It's better to ...... like this."

Feng Changshun carefully inquired about the location of the wild tea, the location of the mountain pond and the stream, and where to cut firewood, etc., and finally made the following arrangements:

Starting tomorrow morning, everyone, including Mrs. Feng, will go up the mountain and pick tea first, because tea leaves are best picked in the morning; Then Mrs. Feng came back to cook, Feng Changshun took his daughter-in-law and daughter to chop wood, and Huang Laoshi and Feng Xingfa went home to pick it; If you work harder, you can break some bamboo shoots and do some other things.

Huang Laoshi was excited when he heard this, patted his leg and said, "Listen to Dad." ”

Feng Changxing said: "Then I have to let my daughter-in-law and others make some nests, and go up the mountain in the dark tomorrow morning." I'll bring lunch when my brother-in-law and I come back to pick up firewood. ”

Huang honestly said again: "Hey, what the eldest brother said is right. This saves you the effort of coming back to eat. ”

As they spoke, because it was dark outside, everyone moved to the hall to discuss, and even Mrs. Feng came out to interject a few words and mention something to bring.

Du Shi and Feng Mingying finished cleaning up in the kitchen, and boiled a large pot of hot water to wash everyone's feet, and then came over with an oil lamp, and also sat on a small bench to listen quietly.

The family discussed with great interest, as if tomorrow was not going out to work, but to visit the spring scenery.

When Feng Mingying heard that she was going to pick tea leaves, she thought it was interesting and asked excitedly.

Feng Xingfa splashed the little girl with cold water and said, "Don't be too happy. Turn around and cry tired, don't expect me to carry you down the mountain! ”

Feng Mingying wrinkled her little nose and said with a "snort": "Big brother looks down on people. ”

Huang Que'er saw that everyone was full of energy, and she also wanted to go. But she was too young to help. Therefore, swallow the idea of interjecting, open a pair of bright eyes, look at this, look at that, and feel the strong enthusiasm for life.

There is no complicated content, it is easy to memorize, Feng Chang announced by the way, "That's it!" Xingfa's daughter-in-law and Mingying made some dry food, and the others went to bed early. ”

So, the men went to the kitchen to wash their faces and feet.

When they came back from washing, Du Shi and Feng Mingying went to the kitchen to make cornmeal wotou, and cooked half a pot of yams, so that they could take it up the mountain to make dry food tomorrow.

That night, several men slept in the west attic.

There is no extra bedding, and the straw is the bed.

The cuckoo heard them moving up and down the grass and making the bed on a wooden ladder, and although the sound was not loud, the vibration was clear to the ears.

After Feng Changshun lay down, he said that it was very good, very soft, and impermeable to moisture and coolness, just like sleeping on a bed; Then, he praised the attic of his son-in-law's house in a tone of sigh and envy, which was easy to use, could put things and live in people, in short, it improved the utilization rate.

Huang Laoshi was very happy to hear his father-in-law praise him once, so he patted his chest and promised that when he was free, he would spend some effort to get some good wood for his sister-in-law to use in the cabinet.

Feng Changshun said: "This will take a lot of effort. ”

Think about it: I went to the mountains to find that good wood, first cut it down and brought it to the Huang family, and then transported it to the outside of the mountain. Even if it is a strong laborer, each person can only carry a piece of wood per trip. If you want to make the materials for making boxes, cages, cabinets, etc., do you have to spend a lot of effort?

Huang honestly smiled: "We don't have the ability to do it, we still have a lot of strength." After the autumn, I cut down the house first and put it away. When spring came, my father-in-law and eldest brother went into the mountains. It took us a month and a half and a month to move it five or six times, but we still can't make it up? ”

Feng Changshun heard that he actually had such a plan, and at the same time he was surprised, he was also happy. At this time, he felt that his son-in-law had not chosen the wrong one, although he was a little stupid, it was better to be honest.

Such a manpower and effort is more expensive than making a dowry outside the mountain. But if you find a good nanmu, then the home that comes out will be eye-catching.

As a result, several people set off a new round of planning enthusiasm.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice of the words gradually fell, and the night in the mountain village fell silent.

Although the cuckoo struggled to listen to people, the Feng family beside him had already fallen asleep. She had been tormented for two nights, and today she poured out the secrets that had been pressed on her heart, as if she had unloaded her burden, and her heart was relieved, and tiredness struck, and it was easy to fall asleep.

Listening to her even breathing, the cuckoo also felt relieved, and fell asleep dimly, even when her grandmother and others rested.

There is also a shift in the evening. It's Monday, shouting for a recommendation vote-
