Chapter 12: Daddy's Good Brother
"Da Lang," "Big brother, I heard that you came back to live,. "Big brother, you're back, but you miss your brothers."
The next morning, before eating, Yang Heng's family was busy cutting down trees, and there was a shout from afar.
"Ah, Erlang, third brother, fifth brother, little brother, why are you here." Daddy was surprised. "Why are we here, we didn't listen to what your little brother said, last night your little brother said that the eldest brother was back, and he asked for a hundred acres of forest here to open up the wasteland, can this be done, didn't you let your uncle deceive." They asked Daddy with concern.
"Don't talk about this yet, I originally wanted to go back to see you in a few days after I quieted down, but I didn't expect you to come first, come on, come, I'll introduce you. Ying'er, Heng'er, come here," "Ah, big brother, this is my sister-in-law and my little nephew, my little nephew is so old, it can be seen that you have been there for more than ten years, but how can you come back?" ”
"Come, Ying'er, Heng'er, these are your second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, and uncle, Erlang, third brother, fifth brother, little brother, this is your sister-in-law, and nephew Yang Heng."
"Hello uncles." The old lady gave a blessing to the uncles, "Hello uncles. Yang Heng shouted directly, he really didn't know how to salute, but he just clasped his fists with both hands.
"My sister-in-law is good, my nephew is good." "Come on, uncles, come and sit in the courtyard, don't stand outside." The old lady happily greeted the uncles, and now that they had something to talk to in this place, and seeing that the relationship between the father and them seemed to be good, she immediately beckoned them into the courtyard.
"Big brother, this is your newly built yard, it's really fast, it seems that you have had a lot of opportunities over the years, brothers can't do these things, if you do so much, you can't finish it in three or two months, it seems that we heard that you only came here the afternoon before yesterday." The uncles were simply surprised, "If you don't know the way, you think you've been back for more than a year!" ”
"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, have the brothers eaten, if you don't eat, let your sister-in-law cook and eat now, and we won't eat either." Daddy suggested.
"Eat, eat," it can be clearly seen that these uncles are lying, looking at them like this, they obviously came without eating, especially in terms of time, they made an appointment together, and it would take more than an hour to come, if they ate, it would be the time to eat three meals, if they could eat three meals, then their lives would be quite good, "Okay, you are not welcome, just eat, eat with us, if you don't eat, you don't give my face to the eldest brother, Ying'er, you can cook now, Stew all the pheasants we hunted today. Daddy said undoubtedly.
In this morning, Yang Heng found out that this forest is really a treasure, there are flocks of pheasants inside, and even hares are scurrying around, occasionally there will be wild boars, why didn't you find it yesterday, this is yesterday's movement is too big, and the pheasants are driven to the depths of the forest, after a quiet night, when the family of three got up at dawn, they found that there were a lot of pheasants in the open space in the distance. For this reason, Yang Heng is comforted that he will not worry about eating in the future.
Yang Heng also once asked his father, "Grandpa, there are so many wild things here, how can you say that life is not good?" "Silly boy, you see that we can hit pheasants so easily now, you must know that your grandfather was young, but there was no such quasi-head, I estimate that this is all the skill of striking iron, back then many of us chased and intercepted together and couldn't catch a pheasant, what do you say, and the wild boar is even more needless to say, with your uncle's physical strength, do you dare to catch the wild boar, and even the people in the village need a few people to go out, otherwise it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts."
When the uncles arrived today, Yang Heng also understood his father's thoughts, looking at the malnourished appearance of these uncles, as well as the image of being blown down by the wind, he knew how difficult it was to live in this place, two meals a day, looking like this, one meal a day is a problem. Also, Yang Heng found that they were all shining green with green light now, could it be that Yang Heng followed their eyes, it turned out that their eyes were all looking at those pheasants.
"Pheasant, big brother, how did you catch so many pheasants?" The uncles swallowed their saliva and turned their heads around to see how the eldest brother was able to catch so many pheasants.
"Don't look around, this pheasant catching is a unique skill, I told you, you can't learn it." These uncles seem to be daddy's playmates when they are young, and when their eyes roll, daddy will understand what the uncles think, not to find out what tools daddy used to catch pheasants, and also want to learn to catch them, but this kind of unique skill is really not something anyone can learn, and even daddy himself didn't know that he still has this ability before, but at this time daddy is thanking the old lady in his heart, it is the old lady who has cultivated these abilities with medicinal liquid and iron-striking skills.
"Husband, you see, we don't have enough bowls, what should we do?" When the old lady cooked the pheasant, she realized that there were seven people to eat, but there were not enough bowls.
"Hmph," everyone's eyes turned to the youngest uncle, but at this time, Yang Heng and the old lady were a little puzzled, what could this uncle do, could he conjure a bowl.
"What are you looking at me, I don't have a quick knife in my hand, but I can't carve a wooden bowl." Oh, I see, this uncle actually has a craft of carving wood carving.
"Ying'er, take out the sharp knife we made for people and let the little brother use it." Sharp knives, even Yang Heng has never seen them, but there are a few knives at home, which is also very normal.
"Uncle, do you think this is okay?" The old lady really found a sharp knife from the car, "Boy, I haven't seen it, right, this is still a sharp knife made for a pig killer before, but after it was built, the pig killer didn't come to get it, so let your mother put it up, if it wasn't for the bowl this time, I can't remember it." Dad looked at Yang Heng's confused appearance and explained.
Uncle's craftsmanship really didn't say, while waiting for the chicken to cook, I saw that the uncle's hands moved as if flying, and the sharp knife was like playing magic in the uncle's hands, which was dazzling to see, and soon a wooden bowl was successfully carved.
"Big brother, I didn't expect it, my brother's craftsmanship is so good, let me tell you, over the years, my little brother has not had such a good knife, he can carve beautiful patterns with ordinary kitchen knives." The second uncle said ostentatiously on the side.
"Second brother, how can it be so exaggerated as you say, eldest brother, don't listen to the second brother, it's not that over the years, there is nothing at home, there is so much work in the field, it is not enough for grandpa to do it himself, I am idle every day, just use carving to pass the time." Uncle kept his hands on his hands, and he was still busy explaining something.
During this time, Yang Heng also slowly understood the situation of these uncles, even the father is together, the five of them are peers in this village, even the uncle is only two years younger than the father, they come from five families, because they are peers in this village, they have been playing together since childhood, they are very good, the second uncle Yang Kui, the third uncle Yang Shen, the fifth uncle Yang Jiang, the younger uncle Yang Yin, like wood carving.
