Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Chicken Coop
After eating, Cai Wei began to get busy.
She asked Tie Niu for a few large planks and asked him to sharpen them with an axe, and planned to build a chicken shed.
With so many chickens raised, you need a big shed.
Tie Niu is skillful, Cai Wei said that he would make it out.
The two men laid the foundation along the base of the fence wall, circled a piece of land about a foot square, nailed it firmly with a wooden stake at the bottom, built a shelf on it, made a triangular roof, laid branches, and fanned a layer of thatch, and a simple chicken shed.
The planks were all contributed by Tie Niu, and the rough work was also done by him, Lu Ying wanted to intervene several times, but Cai Wei blocked it.
This man was only healed from his serious injuries, and he couldn't do this yet.
It's just that Lu Ying watched Tie Niu and Cai Wei working together, talking and laughing, and was angry in his heart, even if he didn't let him do it, he hugged his arms and squeezed next to Tie Niu, not letting him get too close to Cai Wei.
Looking at the chicken shed that had been built, Tie Niu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: This style is a bit like the attic of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and he praised Cai Wei without flashing, "A chicken shed, how can you think of it?" My family just has to make a nest on the ground. ”
Cai Wei glanced at the old chicken coop in her house, but a few stone slabs were piled up, enough to block the wind and rain.
It's just enough to raise a few chickens, if there are too many, the chicken nest will not be able to hold.
She pointed to the chicken shed and explained to Tie Niu in detail, "When the lower layer accumulates some chicken manure, you can make fertilizer and grow vegetables and crops." Let the chickens lie down on top, so that no snakes or wild cats will come and eat them. It's spacious, easy to clean, and breathable, so many chickens won't be crowded. ”
Tie Niu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that raising chickens would have such a big knowledge.
He gave a thumbs up in admiration and praised Cai Wei, "Wei Wei, why are you so smart and know everything?" ”
"That's right, my Weiwei is naturally smart!" Lu Ying and Youyan answered with honor.
Tie Niu was very unconvinced when he heard this, and he said to him with a stalk around his neck, "When did Weiwei become your family?" Don't forget, who you are! ”
He just reminded Lu Ying that he was an outsider living in a rented house, so don't put on a master tree at every turn.
Lu Ying was about to stimulate him again, and when he saw Li coming back from the river with a wooden basin, he pouted in the direction of the alley, "Oh, don't you hurry home, your mother can't spare you when she comes back!" ”
Li didn't want his son to have anything to do with Cai Wei.
Tie Niu didn't want Li to say anything unpleasant again, so he had to carry the axe home.
Li is a fine person, when he passed by the gate of Cai Wei's courtyard, he saw a small attic erected in front of her house, neither high nor low, the occupants could not bloom, and the things were not strong.
She was very puzzled, and secretly thought that this was the toilet that Cai Wei built for the wild man?
After all, there are two mothers and daughters in their family, and it is inconvenient for the wild man to go to the toilet.
It's just that kind of toilet, the door is too small, you have to climb up, and you can't squat, don't you suffocate to death?
She returned home in confusion and saw her son chopping wood with the big silver axe.
The summer sun hit Tie Niu's naked body, reflecting the beads of sweat on his body.
Li Shi felt distressed, and persuaded Tie Niu in a slow voice, "My son, you are better, don't make such a big effort." It's enough to burn, and I'll split it again tomorrow. ”
Tie Niu hummed, and saw that the firewood was half a man high, so he took the axe, took the wooden basin in Li's hand, and hung his clothes on the hemp rope in the yard.
Li Shi glanced around his yard, and then pointed to the small attic next to the fence courtyard wall of Cai Wei's house, and chuckled, "Look at her house, you have to make a flower, and you are so particular about building a latrine for that wild man." ”
Tie Niu snorted and laughed, "Mother, look at what you said, where is the latrine?" It's obviously a chicken shed. ”
"Chicken shed?" Only then did Li notice that Cai Wei's yard was full of tender yellow chicks, and he couldn't help but take a breath, "Why did this girl buy so many chickens?" What do you feed? ”
Tie Niu scratched his head, not wanting the Li family to wander around Cai Wei, "Mother, what do people want to do, why do we ask so much?" ”
"Yes." Li nodded, "Although we are close to each other, it is inconvenient to care so much. After all, their family still thinks about you. ”
The Li family regarded his son like a phoenix, for fear that Widow Mu would not die of a thief, and he was still thinking about the iron bull.
For the Li family, Widow Mu is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat.
Cai Wei is ugly, not to mention, she also has the temperament of a water-based poplar, and she will lose a lot if she relies on the iron bull.
At that time, Tie Niu will be even if he is not Widow Mu's son-in-law.
The two families are so close to each other, and when they are old, Tie Niu will not only have to manage her, but also Widow Mu.
How heavy is this burden!
Widow Mu's home is a bottomless pit.
In the early years, she saw that they were having a hard time, and the family had food and drink to supplement them.
Thinking that Mu Caiwei looked like that, Widow Mu would not be embarrassed to speak again, who knew that she had the cheekiness to ask Aunt Wang in the front yard to kiss.
She was so angry in her heart at the time, secretly hating how she was so ignorant and dared to think about her iron bull!
It is said that it is nothing for Tie Niu and Cai Wei to play together, and it doesn't matter if she sends some firewood to eat.
She's a kind-hearted person and doesn't care about that idea.
But it shouldn't be, Widow Mu shouldn't open this mouth.
As soon as they opened this mouth, the two of them didn't even have to be neighbors.
Li looked at his son drying clothes under the sun, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.
Such a handsome and tall son can't be arched by Mu Caiwei's pig.
Thinking so, the iron bull had already dried his clothes.
Li Shi set his eyes on the chicken shed of Cai Wei's house again, looked at it for a while, and finally saw that something was wrong.
Before she carried the wooden basin to the river to wash her clothes, she didn't see such a thing in her house.
Also, the plank was cut flat and neat, was it made by Cai Wei's girl or did the wild man do it?
Did the wild man sleep in her house all day without being seriously injured?
Cai Wei's girl is so fat that she has to walk and pant heavily, can she do this job?
What's more, there are no planks in her yard on weekdays, but in an hour, Cai Wei can be cut back from the mountain?
She turned her head and stared at her son faintly for a long time, and finally sighed, "Tie Niu, you help Cai Wei, my mother is not to blame." It's just that if you're like this, people will have thoughts in their hearts, you know? ”
"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, you are not too young, it's time to be a little far from Caiwei. When Ming'er Niang is free, she will go to your grandmother's house to find your aunt and tell you to go to the door. ”
She thinks that the reason why her son's vision is too low is because she is in this poor and remote country, and she has never seen any good-looking girls' homes.
It's time for her to go back to her parents' house to find her sister-in-law, who is a famous matchmaker in these ten miles and eight villages!
