Wang Changsheng is not tall, with a narrow forehead, a thin face, high cheekbones, small eyes, and an average appearance and even a little ugly. However, he behaves in a proper manner, speaks honestly, and never dodges when he looks at people, and is a person who does his duty.

The cuffs of his coat were rolled up, as if he had just come back from the field, and he didn't wait for Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang to greet him, and took the initiative to walk in with a smile on his face.

Fox Dayou was a little surprised: "Brother Changsheng is really a rare guest, come in and sit, I heard that you came back, but I didn't see you come out." Then he explained to Wang Changxiang: "I just bought a few chickens, and I'm building a chicken coop!" ”

Wei Sanniang also came out of the room with a stool: "Brother Changsheng is sitting and talking. ”

"I went around the fields." Wang Changsheng was not polite, he sat down directly, moved the stool over with the trend, and picked up a handful of grass to help sort it out.

Fox Dayou hurriedly asked him to put it down: "...... I don't want your help with this little work! Pointing to Thirteen, he explained to him: "This kid said that our family helped him, and he had to come to help with the work." ”

Wei Sanniang also said: "...... There are still two handfuls of grass in the corner, so why do you need Changsheng's big brother to help. Then he squatted down and began to sort out the grass.

Seeing that Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang insisted, Wang Changsheng had no choice but to put it down, got up and walked around next to the newly built chicken coop, and praised: "You have done a very good job." "It means it's done well. Wang Changsheng has been running around all year round, and he can't help but learn some dialects from other places.

Fox Dayou smiled: "Where, it's also a temporary idea, and it's quite rough." ”

"It's okay to use it as a chicken coop. However, I don't have anything to do at home, so you don't come to say hello, I'll come and help! Wang Changsheng said.

Fox Dayou hurriedly smiled and thanked: "...... It's useless to work all afternoon, and I'm going to trouble you somewhere! ”

Wang Changsheng is still very kind to people when he goes out, but he doesn't have a good temper with his daughter-in-law Xiangshi at home. He has been away from home for a long time, and the two have dealt with each other when they are at home, and the relationship can only be regarded as okay, where will Fox Dayou go to him for help for this little thing. Today, Wang Changsheng suddenly walked to his own house, and Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou were a little surprised.

The two talked a few words, and finally talked about the problem of preventing thieves at the end of the year, and Fox Dayou suddenly thought of the newly built chicken coop: "...... The courtyard wall is low, and this shed is next to the wall, what if someone climbs in along the wall from the outside and steals the chickens? ”

Wei Sanniang also forgot about this stubble, and frowned when she heard Fox Dayou's words: "Then what can I do?" We don't have a dog at home, and the chickens we worked so hard to raise were stolen and we can't get it! However, this chicken coop has already been built, is it possible to demolish it and move it again? "That's a lot of work and trouble.

Hu Xiaomei, who has been working with her head down, said: "Since the chicken coop has been built, it can't be demolished, so it's better to insert some sharp weapons on the wall to prevent someone from climbing over the wall from the outside." ”

This method was immediately agreed by several people.

Wang Changsheng was even more surprised that Hu Xiaomei's brain turned so fast: "I've seen someone in other places who is so anti-thief, but I didn't expect the second girl to think of this method!" ”

Fox smiled shyly. I thought to myself, this is already backward and outdated in the modern countryside!

However, after all, Wang Changsheng had been running outside for many years, and he had more knowledge, so he immediately proposed to Fox Dayou: "The second girl has a good method." However, since it is to be plugged, all the walls of this courtyard must be plugged in, so as not to leave an opportunity for thieves to take advantage of. ”

Fox Dayou also nodded, but, what kind of weapon do you have to use for this sharp weapon? You can't stick a blade in it, can you?

Wang Changsheng smiled and said: "I have seen glass inserted in the wall of someone's house, first, it is easy to fix on the courtyard wall, and second, it is sharp, and the skin can be cut with a light stroke. But ......" he paused, and said, "Glass is precious, and it is something that only large families can afford." You're using this to get this, but it's a bad thing! ”

Wang Changsheng's words, how can Fox Dayou not understand, this glass is not only expensive, but also difficult to buy. Even if you are generally rich, you may not be able to buy it if you have money!

"With sharpened bamboo chips!" Wang Changsheng said: "It is enough to cut half a short bamboo on the mountain, and the bamboo pieces are sharpened, which does not need to be too long, but then the yellow mud on the wall will have to be more paste...... Take a walk, and while the grass is still not taken care of, you can go to the mountains to cut down the bamboo and come back. ”

Fox Dayou couldn't help nodding, thinking that this method was quite good. The two went out with knives.

The sky was thick with clouds, and for a while dark clouds were rolling, and for a while white clouds were fluttering. It's like acting, one day at a time.

The four of them tidied up the grass and cleaned the yard, and it was almost time. Thirteen left early. Seeing that it was getting dark again, and he didn't see Fox Dayou come back, Wei Sanniang had to go into the house to prepare the meal first.

Before the meal was ready, Fox Dayou came back, and Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence immediately went up to see that the bamboo was full of pointed bamboo chips.

"Dad, you cut it all together with Uncle Changsheng?" Fox Xiaomei asked him.

Fox Dayou smiled and nodded: "There are still thirteen, I didn't expect this kid to be very quick with his hands and feet, faster than me and Brother Changsheng." ”

Thirteen didn't look at it, but he was actually quite clever! After helping to sort out the straw, he ran to help cut the bamboo slices without saying a word.

"It means that his family is also a farmer, or a hunter." Fox hedge incense speculated.

"I'm afraid that, like us, there are very few hunters now." Wei Sanniang said.

"That's where we are. I can't say anything else. Fox Otomo said.

Crop households? Why don't you even know how to build a chicken coop! Is it Orion? When you're homeless, why don't you go to the mountains to find a livelihood and go to the bazaar to pick up something!

I don't know why, but Hu Xiaomei has a feeling that he is neither a farmer nor a hunter.

Prepare to use bamboo chips, but also prepare some yellow mud, the wall is not smeared with some yellow mud, how to insert stone tiles steadily? However, it will only be tomorrow.

The second day was a cloudy day, but I didn't expect the weather to change repeatedly yesterday, and it was windy and black and oppressive clouds, and it didn't rain.

Fox Dayou went to the market early in the morning to sell bean curd as usual, Fox Xiaomei followed to help, Fox Lixiang went to cut pigweed with a back on her back, and Wei Sanniang cleaned the chicken coop at home, the chicken coop was cleaned, she spread some hay in the corner, and found a tattered scoop to fill with water in it.

The chickens I bought were still kept in the yard. Zhou Chengqi's wife, Wang, saw it and walked in when she passed by.

"Ah, Sanniang, are you going to raise chickens again?"

Wei Sanniang was standing in the chicken coop, heard the sound, looked up, and saw the well-dressed Wang coming in with small steps.

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit." Wang is Chinese New Year's Eve five years today, a few years older than Wei Sanniang.

"What are you sitting on, I'm going to town!" Wang shook his head with a smile, his eyes swept around the yard, there were only four chickens, thinking that these days the village was secretly rumoring that the fox Dayou was selling bean curd in the market, and the business was very good. Smiled and sounded: "I heard that your eldest friend is now selling bean curd in the market, and you still have time to raise chickens?" ”

The chicken coop only built a shed on the top, and the lower circle was only enclosed with the old bamboo fence before, the fence was set aside for too long, and the bamboo pieces were broken in several places, Wei Sanniang took a lot of effort to barely tie the fence, and it was firmly fixed around the chicken coop.

Wei Sanniang wiped her sweat with her sleeve and walked out of the chicken coop: "Look at what you said, you can live with a few bowls of bean curd?" What should be planted is not yet planted, and what should be raised must be raised. ”

Wang looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't you say that business is very good?" You sell vegetables, sell bean curd, and a few acres of land, raise pigs, and now raise chickens, although you have two girls in your family to help, but you are too busy? ”

Wei Sanniang raised her eyebrows, this village is small like this, the family has something to do, or one day, it will blow all over the city, and it is very good. Their family in Hujia Village can only be regarded as the average in general, with a small income and a large population, in the past, Fox Dayou's father and grandfather had thin children and grandchildren, and they lived poorly, and they didn't leave anything, and now they live in a house that was built by her and Hu Dayou's frugality.

The family is poor, not hard-hearted, many people like to talk behind their backs, and now that there is a bean curd business, some people are starting to be red-eyed! Those who like to step on their house on weekdays don't know what they're planning!

*There is also a shift in the evening.
