Chapter 54 Duck sheds are built
The Du Mei sisters also tried their best, shouting, shouting, and coaxing, these two guys are excellent, really annoying!
Dume whistled, which is commonly used when feeding. I saw that the little white duck raised his head, listened attentively, as if he had been commanded, and swam straight to the sound, and the little gray duck followed it step by step.
There is a door! Dume's whistle blew one after another, and his footsteps retreated step by step. Finally, the two ducks followed the sound and went ashore. It's so easy to catch them on the riverbank.
"Look at you're very clever, let's call Da Bai." Du Mei grabbed the little white duck and touched its little head. Dabai was not afraid of her, and his mouth like a small shovel pecked at her hand. Tickled Du Mei to chuckle.
The four sisters seemed to have a big secret, and they laughed all the way without saying a word. When I came home with the soles of my feet in a hurry, I saw my mother, and immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and told her all the time. Speaking of interesting places, the mother laughed for a while.
"Meizi, you can do whatever you want. My mother can still embroider, we have a few mothers, and I am sure that we will have a good life. Xu looked lovingly at the daughters gathered around her.
Before anyone in the village went out to work, Du Mei planned to put up a duck shed on the river beach first. These are all men's jobs, Du Jiasuo is a carpenter, it is just right to find him, and then ask Du Zhong and Du Shu to help.
Du Jiasuo was picking up the guys at home this day, and the axes, planers, and saws should be sharpened, oiled, and oiled. That's when Dume arrived at his house.
Fang greeted him warmly: "Meizi, is there something short at home?" ”
Everyone in the village knows that Du Shicheng's family has made a lot of trouble in the past few days, and the two old ones are still there, so they suddenly divided the fields, and the family is like a bandit, from the house to the bowls and pots, all of which have been carved up.
There is a lot of gossip in the village, some of them are laughing at jokes, and some are sympathetic. Du Jiasuo and Erjin have an iron relationship, and Fang's is even more friendly with Xu's. When she saw Du Mei coming to the door, her first reaction was that the second room couldn't grab the big house and the third room, and the family was in a dilemma.
"No, no, thank you, Aunt Fang, I'm here to ask Uncle Suo for help." Du Mei waved his hand again and again and said with a smile.
"No problem, your uncle is just an idle person. There is a lack of tables and stools at home, and I still have a few good woods at home. "Fang is a cheerful person, and she is honest and good to people.
"I want to ask Uncle Suo to help me build a duck shed on the river beach." Now that I've decided to do it, there's nothing to hide. Dume told the truth.
"What? Duck shed? Fang's face was incredulous.
"I think it's like a cowshed." Du Mei nodded firmly.
"Meizi, it's a trivial matter to build a shed, what are you going to do?" Du Jiasuo dropped the work in his hand, wiped his hands, and looked at Du Mei with a straight face.
Erjin left in a hurry, and the family ruthlessly divided the orphans and widows, and all they got was the thin land left over from the other two houses. Du Mei has been in charge of the house at a young age, and he Du Jiasuo naturally has to help, and he can't make a mistake.
"I want to raise ducks...... Du Mei said his thoughts, Du Jiasuo and Fang Shi also didn't believe that ducks could swim, and Du Mei said the experiment again.
Du Mei's mouth was dry, and Du Jiasuo and Fang were suspicious.
"Uncle Jiasuo, you can help me once." Du May's big eyes were full of pleading.
"It's not a hassle to build a shed, and the ancestor didn't say that it can't be stocked. If it works, we'll do it right, or not, it's a good job! Fang slapped the table, and it was considered a response.
"Meizi, although the river beach is a wild beach, not a serious field, but you should still talk to the patriarch, so as not to let some people beep blindly." Du Jiasuo is a man after all, and he is thoughtful. If this thing doesn't work, it's a big deal to show people a joke, and if it does, I don't know how many people will be jealous, and then it will be passive.
"Well, I'll just go talk about it." Du Mei was happy when she saw that Du Jiasuo agreed, and turned around to leave.
"I'll go with you when I change my clothes." Du Jiasuo was not at ease, worried that Du Huaibing would not believe what Du Mei said. He went, and it was a guarantee.
The two went to Du Huaibing's house one after the other, and happened to meet Du Zhong on the way.
"You two, where are you going?" When Du Zhong saw the two of them walking together, he was puzzled, and he thought something was going on.
"Uncle Zhong, Ming'er, can I ask you for help?" Seeing that there was no one around, Du Mei asked.
"I don't have any relatives to leave, you have something to say, you're welcome." Du Zhong agreed without even asking.
"You know what's going on, you deserve it!" Du Jiasuo said to Du Zhong with a smile.
"What can happen to the children? I'll do it for her, too! Du Zhong also smiled.
"Then let's go to the patriarch's house together." Du Jiasuo pulled him.
"What's the big deal, you still have to tell the patriarch that there is trouble at home again?" Du Zhong asked in a low voice.
Du Jiasuo smiled but did not answer, and Du Zhong was not good at asking questions on the way where people came and went.
"What's that? Duck farming? After Du Huaibing listened to what Du Mei said, he couldn't accept it for a while.
There was silence in the room, and Du Jiasuo didn't understand it himself, although he echoed and said a few words, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, Du Zhong listened to it in a fog, only Du Mei always insisted on his own ideas.
Du Huaibing smoked and looked at Du Mei. He slowly pondered in his heart, he should have seen some clues yesterday.
At first, this girl insisted on exchanging fields for mountains and forests, but she couldn't persuade her at the time, and then she gave her the three acres of thin fields, and according to her temperament, she didn't make trouble. Today, it seems that this is a calculated plan.
Erjin is not there, this girl looks clever, and she can't break anything if she raises a few ducks, and she makes trouble. After losing the battle, you will be at ease.
Du Huaibing thought about it and said: "The river beach is not any one, in the boundary of Dujiagou, I can still be the master, if you want to toss, you can toss it." Only in the future, if you are busy, you can't win, but don't cry! ”
"Thank you, Patriarch." Du Mei watched Du Huaibing ponder, beating a drum in his heart, and pondering the rhetoric in his head. Suddenly, I heard him agree, and my heart was overjoyed.
"Go, go." Du Huaibing waved his hand. This family is divided into a girl who is forced to come out to do things.
"She is a female doll who doesn't know how thick the sky is, you two should take care of it more." Du Huaibing told Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong.
"Whoa." Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong looked at each other and should go. This girl is a big ghost and has a lot of ideas. It's okay to help do things, but if you want her to not do what she wants to do, I'm afraid it's difficult now.
After leaving the patriarch's house, Du Mei and Du Zhong went straight to the river beach, selected the location of the shed, and discussed what it would be better to build the shed. Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong are adults, and Du Mei listens to and talks less, and occasionally mentions his own opinions.
Building a tent is a piece of cake for Du Jiasuo, a carpenter, who first cut down some trees to make support around him, spread reed mats and calamus on top, and surrounded by reeds to prevent the wind. In addition, build a shed for people to live in, which is more elaborate, but it is not a problem.
The three of them said that they would start tomorrow morning, and the two uncles cut down some miscellaneous trees in the mountain forest, and the Dumei sisters were responsible for cutting reeds and calamus.
When Du Mei returned home, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and told her mother and sisters what had happened again. The three little ones are all eager to try their hand at the river beach tomorrow.
"Peach, tomorrow I will go to Butcher Zhang's house to cut 2 catties of pork belly, and then look at and buy some others, you and Xiaomei will cook at home, Uncle Suo and Uncle Zhong will help us, it's not good to call people, go home for dinner." Du Mei dug out a handkerchief from the corner of the wall and counted 20 yuan to Du Tao.
"Whoa." Du Tao carefully put the money away.
This night, Du Mei slept soundly, and when he woke up, the sky was slightly bright.
After breakfast, Du Mei and Du Ying walked up to the river beach in the morning light.
On the other side of the riverbank, which was not charred, there were already rows of cut reeds and cattails, neatly laid on the ground.
A black shadow rushed towards Du Mei like lightning, and the black girl threw herself into her arms, and the black girl grew taller, and it stood up to shoulder to shoulder with Du Mei.
"Plum, Sakurako, you're here." The Du tree poked its head out from behind the reeds.
"Brother Shu, you came so early, did you have breakfast? I have sweet potatoes in my pocket. Du Ying asked him with a smile, and Du Mei smiled at him.
"Ate at home." Du Shu turned around.
Du Ying naturally stood in a row with him, and the two of them began to swing their scythes one on the left and one on the right.
"Play by yourself." Du Mei patted the brunette on the head. She walked to another place and bent over to dry up.
"Tree, the porridge is here, eat it while it's hot." Du Zhong brought a bowl of porridge to the river beach.
At this time, Du Jiasuo also came with big and small guys, and they went to the mountains and forests together with axes.
"Hey, you haven't eaten! Don't do it, come and eat. Du Mei was moved and hurriedly urged him.
"I ate it, and I ate two breads." Du Shu's face turned red, he couldn't wait for his father to cook porridge in the morning, so he swallowed yesterday's cake with hot water. Speaking of which, it seems like a deliberate betrayal.
Du Shu ate porridge in two bites, and Du Ying gave him a sweet potato, which made him burp.
Some of the reeds and Pu grassland on the river beach were cut by Du Zhong and his son, and later a large area was burned by fire, and the rest was cut off by the servants talking and laughing.
The river beach suddenly became empty, and the sun could be seen jumping on the lake in the distance. Just think of the small flame burning in Du Mei's heart at this time.
Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong were deep in the mountains and forests, and they worked together to put down a few miscellaneous trees with thick wrists, cut down some thin ones, and repaired all the branches and branches.
Seeing Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong dragging trees on the river beach, Du Mei and the three of them also went up to help, and if the thick ones couldn't be handled, they would take the thin ones, and if they didn't do well, they would carry them twice.
The river beach here is in full swing, and the home is also very lively.
Zhou got up early in the morning and sent Dajin father and son to pick up yellow mud, and she cleaned up the firewood room by herself, waiting for the bricklayer to come to build a big stove.
The left can't wait, and the right can't wait. was waiting for the anxious Zhou family, when he saw Xie and Yu bricklayer coming one after another.
"Yu bricklayer, why are you here now?" Zhou was unhappy.
"He was invited by me to build the wall, what does it matter to you?" Xie glared at Zhou.
"Hey, Xie Fox, don't be poor, I told him yesterday. You say, isn't it? Zhou was so angry that he almost poked his finger into the bricklayer's face.
"Don't laugh to death, Yanma, you don't have bricks or mud, let people take a base!" Xie crossed his waist and snorted in his nose.
"Okay, two aunts and grandmothers, your own family, don't worry about what's going on, don't let me be caught in the middle and make it difficult!" Yu bricklayer turned around and wanted to leave, he was the only bricklayer in the village, and he was going to find another one to go to Chenqian Village on the other side of the river.
"Hey, don't go, don't go, my mud embryo will be delivered immediately, and it will only take half a day to build it." Xie Shi stopped and did not let him go.
"My family's Dajin will be back soon, or it will be available in less than half a day." Zhou didn't let him go either.
Yu Bricklayer was so angry that he squatted on the ground, scolding himself in his heart, see the money and open his eyes, now he is blind here!
