Chapter 475: Building a Tree House
Back in the house, Marcos found tools and took Xiao Chi to sit next to the sofa, and then drew on the coffee table with paper, pen and ruler, Xiao Chi stretched out his head to watch his grandfather draw, and interjected two sentences from time to time, at this time Marcos would put down the pen and explain to Xiao Chi, where does the little hairy child understand what Marcos said about length and width and bearing, etc., the two grandparents and grandchildren don't understand and want to try to understand, and the other can't understand and wants to explain a little more obviously.
Ju An looked at it for a while and decided to give up, and the two grandparents and grandchildren were not in a hurry to catch the problem with themselves who were watching on the side, got up from the sofa, and walked towards the door.
At this time, Dinah came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Ju An holding her hat at the door, she immediately asked, "It's time to eat soon, where are you going?" ”。
"I'll go to the door and see if Nini has bullied Clockwork," Ju An laughed dryly, stuck his hat on his head, pushed open the door and walked out.
Nini was nothing, now holding Teddy's back with both hands, resting her head on Ted's brain, looking up at the little tractor circling around the lawn.
Ju An looked in a cold sweat, Miles, a stupid guy who didn't grow up, was now driving the weeding tractor in Ju'an's house with a smile on his face, and there was a spring squatting in the back of the body, such a big individual, sitting on the tractor with his legs crossed, and roaring from time to time! Raise your voice.
"How old are you, still playing this," Juan said, looking at Miles.
Miles saw Juan standing under the porch, stopped the small tractor, and gestured to Nini, who was leaning on Teddy, and Nini ran over and continued to drive the tractor. He is walking towards Ju'an.
"I thought it was interesting to pass by here just now, so I discussed it with this Nini and let me drive for a while," Miles said with a smile at Ju An. Then his eyes turned to Nini, who was driving a small tractor: "It seems that I am really going to have a child, looking at the life of you and Fan is really enviable!" ”。
"Then find one, don't say you don't have a girl by your side?"
"Those women are too complicated!" Miles waved his hand at Ju'an and changed the subject: "How's your plane crew looking?" ”。
"I'm going to wait until I'm done with Christmas and hook up at Lewistown Airport to see if there's anyone who wants to change jobs," Juan said to Miles.
Miles shook his head when he listened: "So when are you going to find it?" Asked one by one? How many pilots do you know? ”。
"And what do you have to do?" Ju An patted his thigh after speaking: "You must know a lot of beautiful flight attendants, help me get in touch."
Miles glared: "What's the use of this, who will have nothing to do to know the crew, I think it's best to leave this matter to the headhunters, after all, people are more professional, and the channels are much wider than yours, so your choice is a little bigger!" ”。
Hearing Miles say this, Ju An was suddenly opened: How did buddy forget about this matter, it's the Internet era now, and you should be looking for headhunters when looking for talents, and nodded at Miles: "This suggestion is good, I'll go to the Internet to find the phone number of the headhunting company later, and then go to the interview!" ”。
"Forget it!" Miles looked at Ju An and said, "I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, just go and pick up Mike, I'll help you find a headhunting company and tell me about your plane requirements!" ”。
Ju An snapped his fingers and said: "A captain, a co-pilot, an observer and a flight attendant are fine, the captain and co-pilot should be in their thirties and experienced!" ”。
"What about flight attendants?" Miles jokingly said to Ju An: "Age, appearance, and figure, what do you need!" Coquettish and debauched or cold and wild at heart? ”。
"No, you don't! The long one is average, our plane is small and the weight is strict, and the long one is too ugly to affect my mood when I take the plane" Ju An laughed and said: "The rest is not required, by the way, the flight attendant is best to have a little experience, don't look good and haven't done anything on the plane."
"It's easy," Miles said to Juan, then looked at his watch and said loudly to Nini, "Hey! Annie! It's your time, it's time for Uncle Mai to play! ”。 After speaking, he pointed his finger at the watch on his wrist and walked towards Nini.
Belch! Ju An was completely defeated by this bastard, and then looked at Nini happily getting off the tractor, sticking her head and looking at Miles's watch, and nodded: "Hmm! It's been five minutes! ”。 After saying that, he hugged Teddy and watched the so-called Uncle Mai get on the small tractor and drove it proudly.
This kid has to be robbed of something, and now Miles and the girl take turns playing with the little tractor, both of them are very strong.
After looking at it for a while, Ju An turned around and walked into the room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw two grandparents and grandchildren on the sofa, Marcos took Xiao Chi in his arms, and then drew with a pencil on the paper, and continued to talk while drawing, Xiao Chi was no problem at this time, honestly leaning on his grandfather's lap and staring.
Ju An walked into the kitchen, and Ju An's mother looked out the window and asked Ju An, "Why is this Xiaomai driving a tractor on our lawn?" ”。
"He's just a kid who doesn't grow up, leave him alone! When are we going to eat? When I smell the smell of food, my stomach is a little hungry," Ju An touched his stomach and said to his mother.
Mom squinted her eyes and smiled: "Wait a minute, there are still two dishes that haven't been stewed yet, okay, you can eat when your dad comes back, this dead old man, why did he become an uncle today, hurry up and call him and ask him when he will come back." Mom wiped her hands on her apron and continued to work with Melina in front of the pot.
Ju An picked up the phone and dialed his father, and asked if his father had come back on horseback. After saying it to his mother, he leaned sideways against the door frame and watched his mother and Melina chatting and cooking.
After lunch, Ju An was ready to carry out a strategic shift according to the established old strategy, and as soon as he put his dishes and chopsticks into the pool, Marcos, the old father-in-law, spoke: "Wait for me to find some wood, do you have spare wood when the family builds a house?" If not, drive back to the farm with me in the afternoon to get it."
"Yes! There are a lot of them, they are all in the warehouse, and I will take you to choose later" Ju An hurriedly said, some of the wood left when the family built the house, and kept it for the maintenance of the house, basically every home will have some stored wood.
Dad listened to the translation of a few words from his grandson next to him, and immediately said, "Build a small house in the afternoon?" Then I'll be with you." Dad has been on the ranch for so long, and he can hear a general meaning in English, unlike his mother who always nests at home and circles around her grandchildren.
Boom! Ju An saw this posture, don't do anything in the afternoon, and directly accompany the two old men to build a house for the babies!
As soon as they finished eating, Marcos and Dad took Nini and Xiao Chi and followed Ju An to the garage, the house was not small, Ju An had to move his GMC outside, leaving a big garage for the two old people to play.
"I don't know how many meters this foot or something can be exchanged for," Dad asked, holding Marcos' finger and turning to Ju An. Ju'an's father used to be an engineer when he was in the factory, but he repaired machines, and although he was self-taught, he was still confident in building this kind of small house.
Ju An glanced at the small house painted by Marcos: "Let my father-in-law come to the wood matter, you can always take care of the nailing of the planks." One foot is about 0.305 meters, even if you tell your father, you have to prepare a calculator for your father, so that the old man can convert it, and simply let your father nail the wood.
Marcos carefully selected the wood that Ju'an resisted, and the smooth planks with a thickness of two centimeters and a width of more than 30 centimeters were selected by Marcos to make the floor of the wooden house, and a few squares were used as supports, and then the old man pulled up the ruler and measured it on the wooden board carefully. One by one, the numbers were written, and then some of the wood were painted with squares, and some were painted with round holes.
According to the line drawn by the old father-in-law, Ju An and his father cut four pieces of wood ten centimeters wide and five centimeters thick into eight sections and put them on the floor of the garage.
The old man began to draw lines on the side of the wood, so that Ju'an punched holes, so that the four woods could be connected in pairs, fortunately, Ju'an had already prepared at home, and he had prepared a set of tools to learn from the old beauty, although it was not commonly used, but the appearance always had to be installed. With the help of the machine, the task was completed very quickly.
When Marcos plugged the four pieces of wood together, the bottom structure of the wooden house came out, and a square frame was also lined with several wooden ribs, which made it feel sturdy, not to mention that Marcos also reinforced it with thick screws.
Originally, Ju'an thought that this was the case, the children's wooden house, the wooden board on it was very good, the child could weigh it, it was said that the child, the three adults squatted on it and could not break it, although he knew that Marcos was not finished, and set up a lot of small wooden strips on it, and then put on it the selected smooth wooden board without a trace of burrs, and there was a hole at the bottom of the house that was forty or fifty centimeters wide, which was convenient for the children to enter and exit.
When Marcos looked up and saw that his son-in-law had nothing to do, he immediately assigned the task: to make a round hole in the thick wooden square of more than 40 centimeters.
Ju An flipped through the drawings drawn by his old father-in-law and realized that these wooden squares were used by the old man to make rope ladders. After honestly beating more than a dozen wooden holes, this time Ju'an had a long look, and immediately picked up the old man and found a thick nylon rope, and asked his father-in-law, "What kind of knot does the rope tie?" ”。
"Let's go in with a wooden square first" Marcos took the rope, folded it in the middle, then pulled up the tape measure, began to draw a line on the rope, followed by the two ends of the rope through a wooden square, looked at the length of the part where the line was drawn, and tied two knots. In this way, the wooden square is fixed and cannot slip off the rope: "String the rope and the wooden square like this!" ”。 (To be continued.)
