Since Youcheng decided to join, there was no halfway to say that he would give up, and the next day he continued to carry the family's digging hoe to help.

Zhang Shi watched him come to Xin'er's house with a hoe for two consecutive days, and she didn't expect anything to happen for a long time, and she didn't see them working.

Puzzled, she asked when Youcheng went out: "Youcheng, are you going to your second uncle's house?" ”

"Yes, mother, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing with your hoe, I didn't see you all day yesterday?"

"Oh, Xin'er they have something to do, I'll go and help, it's over today, mother, I won't tell you, I'll go out first."

Youcheng didn't wait for her to say it again, and he didn't want to tell her that it hadn't worked out yet, so he would say it again when the time came.

“……”

Zhang watched Youcheng quickly disappear from his sight with a hoe, sighed helplessly, and didn't say anything.

"Brother Cheng, you're here, let's go."

Xin'er They were already waiting, and they were ready to leave as soon as they saw him coming.

"Sister, if you don't go, there won't be much going on anyway."

"Brother, I'm going, I'm almost done digging today, I want to go and see."

"Alright, let's go."

Locking the door, the three of them continued up the hill.

There was a lot of water in the pool overnight, and the pool was already a little deep, so he didn't let his heart go down to scoop the water, so he took the scoop and scooped out the water inside.

After scooping up the water, he stayed below and began to dig a pit, and when he was tired, he changed to Cheng.

Slowly, the pool became deeper and deeper, and the speed became slower and slower, but fortunately, they prepared a dustpan today, which was a lot more convenient.

As the pool got deeper and deeper, the mound of earth outside became higher and higher, and the water on top of the mound was faintly flowing out.

In the afternoon, Xin'er looked at the already deep puddle and said, "Brother, I think it's okay." ”

"Is it okay?"

"Well, I think it's okay, it's almost as deep as you, and it's even harder to dig any deeper, I think it's enough."

Youyi is twelve years old, Erlin and Wang are both quite tall, and he is almost four or five feet tall now.

At this time, he stood in the pit almost without a head, and he felt that the depth was almost the same, and the outside was a little higher, and they were more than enough.

"Okay, then I'll get this dirt out of it."

Youyi handed the excavated soil outside, and when it was almost done, Youyi suddenly said, "Brother Youcheng, you help me hand down the stones outside." ”

"Brother, what do you want to do with the stone?"

Xin'er asked suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do with those stones.

"I'll put this layer down here with stones."

"Brother, you don't need to shop, it's so troublesome, anyway, you have to lay a layer of things on top at that time, so you don't have to work hard."

Xin'er thought of what he meant in an instant, and directly denied it.

Youyi thought about it and came up from below.

"Alright, let's go back."

"yes, okay."

The three of them cleaned up, took all the things they had brought, and went home.

After returning home, Youyi and Youcheng said to Xin'er and went out again.

After digging the thin mud for a day, even if they were careful, they got a lot of it, and the weather was not very cold, so they were ready to go to the river to wash it, which was much more convenient than washing at home.

For dinner, Xin'er fried a piece of meat, which was still left over from killing pigs before.

"Brother, I thought about it, Brother Youcheng is right, let's use Banzhu."

When eating, my heart said.

"yes, okay."

Youyi paused and agreed, not to mention Youcheng, he was quite happy that Xin'er accepted his idea.

"But where are we going to find Madara?"

After that, there is a righteous question.

"I'm also thinking, there should be something in the village, let's take a look first."

"That's all it can be."

"I know which one has it, let's go and ask tomorrow."

Youcheng finished the rice in the bowl before speaking.

"Okay, let's go see it tomorrow."

That's it, tomorrow's itinerary is decided.

The next day, the three of them stood in front of a bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest is not big, it is similar to the bamboo bush in Xin'er's house, even if it is more, it is not much.

The bamboo forest in front of them is indeed not big, but Xin'er feels that what they need is enough.

This spotted bamboo is thick and strong, and it can be used longer than the ci bamboo, and the heart looks at the height of this spotted bamboo and calculates, almost two less than the ci bamboo.

Eleven or twelve bamboos are still spotted bamboos, they don't think they can get them for free, one or two are okay, but eleven or twelve are indeed a bit impossible.

Therefore, Xin'er decided to spend money to buy it, but none of them had ever bought bamboo, and they didn't know the price, the bottom price in her heart was two pennies a piece, which was already her highest price.

After looking at the bamboo, a few people went to the master's house to talk.

The relationship between the family and the Ding family was not bad, and in the end they said that a bamboo would cost two cents, and they asked for a total of thirteen pieces, a total of twenty-six cents.

Xin'er didn't choose the kind of bamboo that looked big, but chose the right size.

The three of them were able to get two at a time, but fortunately, the family saw that it was inconvenient for them, and they also helped move them twice, so that they had to run a few times.

The bamboo moved home, and it was almost noon, and the money was handed over to the family, and several people began to work in the courtyard to open up the bamboo inside.

The knots of the spotted bamboo are more difficult to tie than those of the cizhu, but fortunately, the yellow bamboo they cut back before is relatively dry.

Also, there are some dry straight sticks at home, but they may not be that long, but they can still be used.

In order to get through the knots of the dozen or so bamboos, the three of them spent two days.

It was time to harvest the corn in the field, so several people delayed for a few days before continuing their work.

There is a lot of land in the old house, and they have been delayed for two more days than Xin'er, and when Youcheng goes to help, Xin'er and they have already begun to be in the place by the pool.

The brother and sister also had some ideas by the pool, so they found some stones mixed with the soil they dug out and built them up about a foot next to the pool, and the pool looked deeper.

Before they got to the edge of the pool, the brother and sister had already taken a piece of bamboo and placed it at the bottom of the pool, and for this reason, they dug a trench that was not very deep to bury the bamboo.

The bamboo is not buried much, after all, the terrain is only a little flat, but it is also inclined down in the end, and it is not very easy to bury after a distance down.

The pool was not yet full, but it was almost two-thirds of the way around, and the two knew that they had to speed up, otherwise the water would flow out, and it would not be so convenient to catch the bamboo.
