Chapter 36: The Bamboo House
After Fang Jing cleaned up, he returned to the yard, sat on a chair, and listened to Fang Dayong talking to his brother-in-law, his aunt and cousins were also sitting on the side, but the little sister was playing with the dog baby, and this game of fighting stones was the happiest thing for the little babies to meet together.
The cousins on the side looked hot, but knew that they would have to sit next to their parents, although they didn't know anything about this cousin's family, but they also knew that this was a relative's house that could give them enough to eat.
"Jing Wazi, Uncle knows that your brothers and sisters have had a hard time over the years, but now it's okay, Uncle is also relieved, tomorrow Uncle and your aunt will go to the county seat to find some work to do, Dachu and Daying Xiaozhi They will stay at your house for a while, and then come to pick them up when Uncle is settled, rest assured, Dachu They can help you do some work, just give a bowl of gruel to eat, Jing Wazi, what do you think?" After Chen Erlin and Fang Dayong finished speaking, they looked at Fang Jing and talked about their plans.
"Uncle." Fang Jing shouted in embarrassment.
"Jing Wazi, if it doesn't work, forget it, I'll take them to the county seat tomorrow." Chen Erlin looked at Fang Jing's embarrassed expression.
"Uncle, what are you talking about, I'm just worried that you don't have a place to live here, you see that the right house is full, the main house is almost gone, and there is no extra house, I want to cut some bamboo and build a bamboo house on the side, how can I not want to? Besides, don't go to any county to find a job, and there are no fewer people in the family who have a bowl of rice. Fang Jing said that she was worried, mainly because there was no room to live in.
"Let's deal with it for one night, tomorrow your aunt and I will go to the county seat to find a job, and they will just make a board in the main house at will." Chen Erlin replied.
"Brother Chen, you better stay, listen to Jing Wazi, there has never been an adult in this family, it's not like a home, you are Jing Wazi's brother-in-law and uncle, no one in the village said anything, you can stay and help Jing Wazi, don't you see I'm also working for Jing Wazi." Fang Dayong listened to their conversation while working, turned his head and told Chen Erlin his opinion.
"That's right, uncle, aunt, you just stay, at most you can make a bamboo house, soon, there will be a lot of food at home, so it will take several years for our brothers and sisters to eat." Fang Jing felt that it was best to leave her brother-in-law's family, and it was not bad to eat anyway.
"This, is this good? After all, this is the prey you fought desperately for, in exchange for food. Chen Erlin still felt that this was not good, but when he heard that Fang Jing hoped that their family would stay, he was very moved.
"Uncle, this is not normal, you don't need to work hard to hunt, you can set some prey by making a few sets, the big ones are few, and the small ones are still okay. If there are too many sets, the fur can also be exchanged for some money. Uncle, you better stay, I'll cut down bamboo to build a bamboo house, and my uncle has to help. Fang Jing no longer wanted to talk about this topic, and quickly got up and picked up the broken knife next to the wall of the stove room, ready to cut the bamboo.
"Let's build a bamboo house first." Chen Erlin also got up and prepared to chop bamboo with Fang Jing.
Chen Erlin's family actually didn't have many thoughts in their hearts, having a bowl of rice to eat, and having a place to live is the best place, it is better than staying in Chenjiawan to worry about being afraid, and always guarding against the attacks of bandits, and now when I go to Fangjia Village, I was just looking for a place to temporarily arrange a little baby, but I didn't expect Fang Jing to be willing to take in Chen Erlin's family, big and small, this is not the best relatives It is impossible to do this.
Fang Jing walked in front, the brother-in-law's family followed to the bamboo forest, and the little sister and a few of their little babies also followed behind, which made Fang Jing speechless, cut a bamboo, so many people go, adults go to forget it, what can so many little children do? Look at bamboo?
When he came to the bamboo forest, Fang Jing found a denser bamboo to chop, one knife at a time, there would be no second knife at all, and the bamboo fell and didn't care about it first, cut it down first, and then cut the bamboo branches later, seeing that Chen Erlin's family was stunned, they didn't believe what was happening in front of them at all; The little sister and the dog baby have long been surprised, anyway, Brother Jing used to cut bamboo like this.
Fang Jing cut an estimated thirty bamboos, turned around and cut the bamboo branches, the speed was also very fast, less than two quarters of an hour to get more than thirty bamboos, the broken knife to the dog baby, he casually picked up one by one from the ground, hugged seven or eight to resist and walked home, which made Chen Erlin's family stunned.
Chen Erlin and Zhang Xiaoxia each went to Fang Jing's house against one, Fang Jing had already run in the direction of the bamboo forest empty-handed, and after lying down, Chen Erlin and Zhang Xiaoxia also went back and forth.
Chen Erlin is Fang Jing's brother-in-law, aunt Chen Zhang's Xiaoxia, cousin Chen Dachu, eldest cousin Chen Daying, and younger cousin Chen Xiaozhi.
After Zhu Zikang came back, Fang Jing looked at the yard, thinking about where to build a bamboo house, if it was built along the wall of the main house, then it would have to be demolished Xiong Er's nest, if it was not built along the wall, it could only be independent, but it was not good-looking, in the end, Fang Jing still chose to demolish Xiong Er's nest and build it along the wall of the main house, which was so beautiful and convenient, just forming a concave character.
Fang Jing carried a hoe and began to dig a trench along the edge wall of the house, half a meter deep and four meters long, to dig three deep trenches, all planted with bamboo, leaving only one meter of the innermost place against the wall without digging a trench, just leave a door to enter and exit, and then get a door after the bamboo house is finished.
After digging the ditch, Fang Jing calculated the bamboo needed again, and found that the thirty or so bamboos he had just cut were not enough at all, and there were still a lot of them.
"Uncle Dayong, you can help get two bamboos first, one is big enough for adults and one is big enough for children." Fang Jing felt that his head was not enough, and while calculating, he told Fang Dayong.
"Uncle, you cut this bamboo in half, the size is about the same, knock off the bamboo joints, aunt, you can rest on the side." Fang Jing arranged things and saw that her aunt was also helping on the side.
"Okay, I'll do it." Fang Dayong also hurriedly stopped the other work in his hand, and began to calculate the bamboo bed, estimating the size and length of the bamboo bed in his heart.
Fang Jing carried a broken knife to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, and the little babies were still all in the bamboo forest, but with Xiong Er, they were digging bamboo shoots, and Xiong Er was also digging bamboo shoots in the soil, and the little babies laughed.
It took Fang Jing half an hour to cut down a hundred bamboos, and then cut the bamboo branches and get them back, but Fang Jing was tired enough, and it took Fang Jing half an hour to resist all the bamboos.
Fang Jing made a bamboo branch, almost two and a half meters, according to the length of this bamboo branch to saw the bamboo, sawed the bamboo and tried to plant a few, it felt almost like this, so he took the branch and sawed all the bamboo, and the time also passed in the process of their work, the sun was in the west, the bamboo house was set up, only the roof was missing, Fang Jing saw that there was no ladder and could not build the roof.
"Uncle Dayong, who has such a high ladder, if not, I will use the remaining bamboo to make one." Fang Jing planted the bamboo wall, and then asked Fang Dayong.
"I have it at home, you go to my house and ask your aunt to move it to you." Fang Da's bamboo bed was almost done, and he replied to Fang Jing's question.
Fang Jing went to Fang Dayong's house, but didn't see Aunt Xiu, only Grandma was at home, so she asked Grandma, Grandma pointed to a small shack and said that it was a ladder, thanked Grandma, Fang Jing carried it and left.
Fang Jing carried the ladder home, saying that it was a ladder, but in fact, it was two pieces of wood that were a little larger and longer, with a few small sticks tied in the middle, and the small stick leaned against the wood with a notch, just stuck the small stick, this is a ladder? Fang Jing said that she had seen it before, that was the high jump hurdle when she was studying in her previous life, but the high jump hurdle was wider, hahaha, and laughed three times in her heart.
Carrying a ladder into the bamboo hut, leaning against the wall, stepping on a stick, holding a piece of bamboo up, oh strangle, what the hell? There is no support point on this side against the wall, wow, this is not good, wow, I came down and thought about it again, well, you can make a long row of holes in the wall, so that you can put it in, but the bamboo can't be fixed, Fang Jing started to grow again.
In the end, Fang Jing still thought about not making holes in the wall, making the bamboo horizontally on the bamboo walls on both sides, and then tying the horizontal bamboo with hemp rope, of course, the bamboo on both sides of the bamboo wall had to be shorter, otherwise the bamboo would be horizontal, and the bamboo pieces would not be able to be flattened.
Fang Jing began to step on the ladder with a broken knife again, knock a bamboo hard, and hit it down a little bit, and so on, and finally looked at it.
"Uncle, you come to get this, tie these bamboos with hemp rope, and then tie up a piece of bamboo, and then put the bamboo pieces on and tie them, so that the bamboo house can be done, the sun will set in a while, I have to cook, aunt, you help hand over the bamboo, little uncle, is it okay?" Fang Jing watched that the sun had reached the top of the mountain, and after a while, the sun would set, and she would not be able to cook.
"Jing Wazi, go ahead, we'll get it done." Chen Erlin watched Fang Jing build it from the side, and his heart was clear, plus Fang Jing said it again, and he was thinking about trying his hand.
Fang Jing went to the forest with a hoe and a basket, but it was only two quarters of an hour, Fang Jing came back with half a basket of potatoes and two rabbits, and Chen Erlin's family was stunned again, and Fang Dayong was already surprised.
Fang Jing carried the rabbit and basket to the ditch, peeled the rabbit skin, cleaned the internal organs, washed the potatoes and returned home, scooped the rice in a clay pot and put it on the stove, let the big girl and them come to the fire, and began to pour water into the pot, and chop the rabbit meat into the pot.
At the point when the time set, Fang Jing cooked the meal and brought three dishes to the table, a potato stuffy rabbit meat, a bamboo shoot fried rabbit meat, and a fried wild vegetables.
"Uncle, it's okay to make a bamboo door tomorrow, but I have to grieve you today, but you can go to eat now, otherwise the food will be cold." After Fang Jing helped finish it, she called everyone to eat.
A small table, three adults, a small adult, seven little babies, a group of people sat around the small table, each holding a bamboo bowl and holding chopsticks to pull the food, eating that fragrant, but Xiong Er, who had been crawling towards Fang Jing, was attracted by the fragrance, and had eaten so many bamboo shoots in the afternoon, and couldn't stand the smell, and wanted to eat the food on the small table.
