Chapter 68: Backyard

Chen Erniu left with Chen Shun and went to the east.

"Xiao Anzi, come here and bring these firewood in." The firewood was scattered, so he tied it with a few Teng Wang, the withered yellow vines were already broken, Chen Ping picked up some and sent them to the hall.

There are only three rooms in the house, and there is no place to put sundries and firewood, and the hall is not only the kitchen, but even the firewood is also piled up in it.

From the outside, it still looks quite crowded.

"This home, there is still a lot of room for transformation." The task is a bit arduous, Chen Ping put the firewood in the firewood pile behind the stove pond, looked around, and secretly longed for the plan in his heart.

The area of 200 square meters is good, and it is very wide when it comes up to two floors. It is feasible to repair the outer courtyard wall and ram it higher, or even use bricks and stones.

"When you invite a mason to come, you can ask, building a house is also a big project, and it will be the first day in two months, I'm afraid it will be too late this year." Thinking like this, Chen Ping turned to the west.

Chen's father is shoveling the soil along the traces that Chen Ping had drawn before, and the gap on the side of the clay jar is also filled, and there is some distance between the middle of the jar, one and a half steps, nearly three meters, and it is no problem to erect a layer of shelter in the middle.

"What are you doing here? Go to the mountains to get some bamboo and come back, while there is still time today, I will build this latrine, and in a few days I should go to repair the field canal, and there will be no leisure. Chen Xiaoyi looked up and said.

The pit with horizontal and vertical lines drawn on the edge is different, and it is enough to dig a hole two feet deep, and the width is about one foot, which is just the width of a shovel.

"Someone will deliver it before evening." Chen Ping walked to the backyard and picked up the broken stones in the backyard, Chen Erniu had picked them up before, and there were not many left.

There are two piles of stones, one in the west corner and another at the east base. Picking out the last few stones, Chen Ping took the shovel and got busy in the backyard.

First, the ground was flat, and by the way, all the fallen leaves in the backyard were shoveled out and piled on the root of the courtyard wall. The longer rotten branches were pulled out of the ground with mud, and Chen Ping threw them out of the yard directly.

"The walls are too rudimentary." The walls of the backyard are all made of reeds, and a stump with a thick arm is inserted in the middle to play the role of support, and the wall seems to be some years old, Chen Ping's shovel of soil was thrown higher, and when it hit it, the mud plastered on the reed wall immediately fell off, and the reeds inside were also decayed, revealing a mouth.

The courtyard wall of the house is half rammed earth, half this simple structure made of reeds and branches. The backyard is full of such simple reeds and branches, and in the past few years, it looks even more dilapidated than the roof of Chen Ping's house.

If it weren't for the mud on it, the reed would have rotted long ago.

"This yard should be able to use wooden planks, and there are many trees in the Liuhe Mountain." The resources in the mountains can be fully utilized, Chen Ping thought, but the planks are not easy to make, and a carpenter is required, "but it seems that it is also feasible to use logs." ”

The area is not large, that is, a layer of soil on the surface is shoveled, and by the way, Chen Ping is quickly finished.

"What are you doing here?" Chen's father's side was also finished, and the old bamboo wall was also placed, which happened to surround the men's toilet on one side, but the gap in the men's toilet was exposed, facing the west.

The courtyard wall of Chen Ping's house is not high, especially the fence against the backyard, which can be seen by people standing outside.

"Lay down the ground, so that the roe deer and the wild boar may be put in and raised." In Chen Ping's imagination, this backyard can actually be divided into three sections, one for pigs, one for roe deer, and one for wild ducks to make a nest.

"Roe deer?" Chen Xiaoyi was puzzled.

"It's the one with the white butt." Chen Ping said, don't look at the roe deer looking cute, but there is a smell on his body, Chen Ping is reluctant to put the roe deer in his room.

The smell of the body is one thing, the thing of eating and drinking Lazar is not only for people, but also for animals, and the animal feces that fall to the ground are even more maddening.

The little flowers, the wild ducks, and now there are more roe deer and a little wild boar, Chen Ping doesn't want to eat while staring at them to excrete.

"That's a dwarf deer, its legs are all injured, what are you going to do with it?" Chen Ping is now also in front of half of the family, those domestic animals are all brought back by Chen Ping, and Chen's father is still quite democratic occasionally, "Do you sell it, or eat it?" ”

"Raise it first." There is still meat at home, but there is no hurry to eat, Chen Ping's dug soil makes a small mound, separating the latrine from the outside.

Chen's father picked up the shovel in his hand and also came to help, listening to Chen Ping's command, in this winter, he worked and sweated, but he didn't feel cold.

While he was doing it here, Chen Wang, the son of Chen Shanhu outside the courtyard, approached with a sack and leaned outside the reed wall, struggling with a round face, and the hole that had already broken was bigger: "I have feathers here, do you still accept them?" ”

"Receive." Chen Ping nodded, "Wangcai, how many did you bring over this time?" Go through the main entrance, don't squeeze, it's about to fall. ”

This little chubby dun actually reached out to clasp the mud on the reeds and wanted to get in from the outside, Chen Ping hurriedly pressed the round face and pushed it out.

"Grandpa is in front of the hospital, I don't dare to go, let me go in from here." Chen Wang raised his hand, threw the sack in, and padded his feet again, wanting to turn in, "Grandpa won't let me pluck the feathers." ”

"Don't climb over, this courtyard wall is going to fall." Where can the courtyard wall withstand Chen Wang's weight, Chen Ping hurriedly pressed his head, "You go back first, and when I finish my work, I will let Xiao Anzi send you the money." ”

"Pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other, you give me the money first." Chen Wang tried twice, but it was too round, and he lifted his legs a few times, just like a duck walking, but when he saw the shaking, he didn't see his legs get up, so he gave up.

Sure enough, there was movement in front of the hospital, and Xiao Anzi ran over quickly.

"Brother, Chen Shanhu is here." Chen Andao saw Chen Wang outside the courtyard wall, "Why are you here?" Your grandfather is holding a thorn in his hand, saying that he is going to beat you, but he is not going to run. ”

"I haven't given me the money for the feather yet." Chen Wang was very afraid, his little eyes looked in the direction of the front yard from time to time, but there was a pile of rice in the middle, and he couldn't see clearly, "If you don't give money, return the sack to me." ”

"Xiao Anzi, go get two cents and give it to him." Chen Ping didn't have any money on him, so he picked up the sack on the ground and threw it directly into the freshly buried clay jar, "In my pillow." ”

The pillow was specially made by Chen Ping, and it was also simple, sewing a long cloth bag, stuffing some reed wadding, leaving a mouth, and some money left by Chen Ping was hidden inside.

"No, I have enough feathers this time, I have to increase the price, and I need three cents." Chen Wang was anxious, and Chen Shanhu's voice came from the front of the hospital, and it was very close.

Chen Wang wanted to leave, but it could be seen that the sack was still in Chen Ping's yard, and he was reluctant, and his body suddenly pressed against the reed wall, and he forced himself to get in through the half-foot-wide gap.
