After going out, Zhou Tiantian was really tired, and she planned to sleep comfortably, but she was woken up at half past five the next morning.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, little brother, why are you all here?"

Zhou Tiantian heard a commotion in the outhouse, so she came out of the West House.

As a result, I saw Zhou Yongjie, Zhou Yongmin, Zhou Yongcheng, and Zhou Yongxin, these four boys were laughing and laughing in the outhouse.

Zhou Anbang's brothers, as well as Zhou Yongping, chatted with Zhou Anhe in the courtyard.

Seeing his little cousin come out, Yongjie stepped forward with a smile, "Yesterday, I heard that the third uncle was going to build a house on the mountain and needed help.

A few of us happened to be idle, so we planned to go up and help out with some work. ”

Zhou An and his wife plan to watch ginseng on the mountain, and of course they must have a place to live.

These days, the Zhou family's 100 zhang ginseng soil has finished beating the turf, and it needs more time in the sun to continue to work.

Zhou Anhe said that it was better to build the house to watch the field first, and slowly clean up and dry the people, otherwise it would be too busy in the autumn and there would be no time.

Building a house on the hill is not like building a house in a house, where bricks and stones are used to dig foundations, etc., but a large frame is built with wooden piles.

Nail the wall with wooden boards, smash the loess in the middle, and then smear the yellow mud inside and out, which is much worse than the conditions at home.

This work takes a lot of work, yesterday at Zhou's house, the old man asked Zhou Anhe and said that there was a shortage of manpower, and this morning Zhou Anbang brothers led people and children over.

"Seventh brother, little brother, you didn't go up the mountain just to help build a house, right? Are you still thinking about going to my grandfather's place to see the little tiger? ”

Zhou Tiantian glanced at Yongcheng and Yongxin, and asked with a smile.

If you want to say that Zhou Yongping and Zhou Yongjie went up the mountain to help build a house, Zhou Tiantian believes it, but how old are Zhou Yongcheng and Zhou Yongxin? What can they do when they go up the mountain?

As soon as they heard the words of the little cousin, Zhou Yongcheng and Zhou Yongxin were embarrassed, Yongcheng scratched his head and smiled.

"We heard that Grandpa Han raised a little tiger on the mountain, which was very interesting, so we thought that if we were free at noon, we could also go over and have a look."

Yongcheng and the others came back and learned about the little tiger from the Zhou family, and they were as curious as a cat scratching.

I just heard Mr. Zhou say to Zhou Yongping and let Zhou Yongping come over to help, these boys couldn't stay idle, so they had to follow.

"Tiantian, do you want to go up the mountain too? Let's do some work together, and when we are free, let's go see how the little tiger is doing? ”

Zhou Yongcheng looked at Zhou Tiantian expectantly, this matter is really not possible without Zhou Tiantian.

Several of them are the grandsons of the Zhou family, and they have nothing to do with the Han family, and without Zhou Tiantian to lead them, they are embarrassed to go to the Han family.

Several brothers are looking forward to it, what can Zhou Tiantian say? She also thinks about the little tiger, so follow up the mountain?

"Okay, then let's go together, you wait for me, I'll pack up and eat."

Zhou Tiantian hurriedly went to wash his face, casually picked up a mouthful of food, and after changing his clothes, he was about to follow the Zhou brothers up the mountain together.

Before everyone could catch up with the car to leave, the Han Zhenyuan brothers, Chang Yanzhe, Jiang Juntao, Jiang Junqi and others also came.

Zhou Tian [fo] Tian was very puzzled when he saw it, what is this for?

"Isn't there a house to be built on the mountain? When my uncle found out, he said let's help.

It just so happened that Zhenyuan also said that he was going, so we came together. Chang Yanzhe saw that Zhou Tiantian's face was full of doubts, so he leaned next to Zhou Tiantian and explained softly.

"Anyway, it's nothing to do when we're idle at home, so let's go up together to help, and the house will be built in a few days.

Otherwise, just pointing at Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, when will they be done? Don't you miss other work? ”

The Zhou, Han, and Jiang families get along very well, and if the Zhou family has something, the other two families naturally want to help.

The adults in the family are busy and can't spare time, and these half-sized children are also used, so they naturally have to go up the mountain to help.

With so many people going up the mountain, Zhou Anhe's mule cart will definitely not be able to sit, but fortunately, there are still bicycles.

So there were a lot of people crowded on the mule cart, and if they couldn't squeeze in, they planted one on a bicycle.

The group set off in such a majestic manner and went straight to the ginseng field of the trough river.

When they arrived at the Zhou family's ginseng field, Chang Yanzhe and Han Zhenyuan did not go in, but rode to Old Man Han's side.

They took the fishing nets, fish docks and other things they used to catch fish, returned to the Zhou family's ginseng field, and went to the river to get the nets and docks first.

So many people come up to the mountains to work, and most of them are half-sized, so they must have lunch at noon.

Get out of the net in advance to catch some fish or something, stew it at noon, and then stew a pot of rice, and the big guy will work hard to deal with it when he is full.

To participate in the construction of the house, of course, to try to be close to the middle, Zhou Anhe has already selected the address, prepared the wood and planks, and yesterday has hung the line to dig some pillar foot pits.

The field is generally from spring to March in the spring and ends in winter until the end of November when the snow is closed, and it does not live on it in winter.

And it is generally about three or four years, and the house does not need to be too strong, let alone dig too deep foundations, and a shallow foot deep is about the same.

Since there are so many people coming, the work is easy to arrange, Zhou An and his brothers led these boys and began to bury the foot of the pillar in the pit.

After burying the base of the pillar and smashing it into the earth, the people separated, some nailed planks to it, and some went to dig the loess at the edge of the forest.

Pour the loess into the nailed plank, and use a hammer and other forces to smash the loess and tamp it.

In this way, the wooden planks were nailed and the earth was rammed at the same time, until the loess was rammed to a certain height, and the planks were removed for ventilation.

Wait for the loess to dry up, erect the beams and put the roof on the roof, and the house will be built.

Of course, this is said lightly, but in fact it takes a lot of effort, and it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Fortunately, it has been sunny in the past few days, and it has not rained at all, but it is quite a complete person.

In addition, there were enough people, and the half-sized children worked very hard, so after five days, the house was framed.

Just smear the yellow mud inside and out, and then plate the kang stove, these jobs can be cleaned up slowly, don't worry.

"It's finally almost done, I'm almost tired these days." At noon that day, all the linoleum paper on the roof was ready, and Zhou Yongmin jumped down and said by beating his shoulders and rubbing his neck.

The other boys were similar, all tired and humming and grinning.

"Don't pretend here, usually you jump up and down one by one, and I don't see you shouting tired."

Zhou Anguo Zhou Antai looked at his son's virtue, and trained people with a tiger face.

"Second brother, fourth brother, don't say that, how can children compare with work when they usually play?

They don't usually work, so they must have a sore back. Zhou Anhe hurriedly said good things for the children.

"Quick, hurry up and wash your hands, your third aunt and they have made lunch, let's stew rabbit at noon today, and rice, it's enough to eat."

As soon as the children heard this, they rushed to wash their hands.
