"Old woman, quickly burn the kang hot." As soon as Patriarch Yang entered the courtyard, he shouted, calling out to his old wife, and instructed as he walked, "Quick, bring up the pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and jujubes you picked." ”

"No, no, let's just sit and go." Hong Lianshuo shouted into the house, "Don't take it, auntie." ”

"How can that work? Why don't you stay for one night? I see that there are not many people you bring this time, so we can squeeze it. Patriarch Yang said sharply.

"No, it's just right to go back and forth in one day." Hong Lianshuo politely declined.

"Then we have to eat! It's a cold day, eat something hot and then go. Patriarch Yang immediately said when he heard this.

"It's not easy to walk at night." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at him and said cryptically.

"the baby, make some pancakes and take them on the road." Patriarch Yang opened his voice and shouted, his eyes looked directly at Hong Lianshuo and said, "This must not be refused." ”

"It's not that I didn't refuse, but we came on horseback, and we can't eat it!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile and said, "And on this cold day, our head is tightly wrapped, and if we want to eat, show our mouths, and drink a stomach of cold wind, we will get sick." He smiled and said, "I'm not hungry at all when I'm full in the morning." ”

While speaking, the two entered the house, and Patriarch Yang pointed to the kang and said, "Hurry up on the kang, it's warm on the kang." ”

Hong Lianshuo sat on the kang with a bow, took off his gloves, touched the kang and said, "It's hot." ”

"It's not cold." Patriarch Yang looked at her stupidly and said, "It's much better than before, the house used to be like an ice cellar." ”

"It's good if it's not cold." Hong Lianshuo's eyes fell on his hand and smiled.

Patriarch Yang followed her line of sight and put his hand on the kang table, "I didn't have frostbite this year, but it's okay." "It's not just me, it's not the whole village." "The leg is on the kang road, "And this foot is not frozen." He looked at her and said, "Hey! Why don't you take off your shoes! Take off your shoes and put them on the kang to keep your legs warm and warm. ”

"I'll leave later, no need, I'm wearing thick clothes, not cold." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "How is that ship?" It's too cold to start construction! ”

"It's cold and you can't stop me." Patriarch Yang smiled and said.

"Isn't the soybean oil frozen?" Hong Lianshuo asked with concern.

"Frozen!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile, "We didn't build ships, but prepared materials and rushed wood first. That's a lot of that. ”

"Listen to you." Hong Lianshuo's warm eyes looked at him and said.

"Old woman, old woman, if you don't take mountain goods, you pour a bowl of water first!" Patriarch Yang got up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and said.

"I have a water bladder, let my aunt fill it up." Hong Lianshuo untied the water bladder from his waist and got up to come to the hall.

"I'll come." Hong Lianshuo took the water scoop in the hands of the Yang family's aunt and filled the water bladder with boiling water, looked back at the Yang patriarch and said, "Let's go to the shipyard and have a look." ”

"Please come with me." Patriarch Yang said happily and walked out first.

Hong Lianshuo said to the Yang family's aunt: Thank you! turned around and chased Patriarch Yang out.

&*&

The two came all the way to the shipyard, and the winter was even more bleak, and the seaside was frozen.

The north wind is bleak, and two or three wooden boats on the beach waiting to be repaired look even more desolate.

Patriarch Yang looked at her line of sight and smiled, "This! It needs to be twisted, but this soybean oil is frozen and can't be dried, and this sea water is frozen and can't go out to sea, so wait until next year when it's warm and twist. ”

After a pause, he said, "The twisting is very fast, and there will be no delay in going to sea." ”

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the cave.

Hong Lianshuo looked at the bright lights in the cave, frowned lightly and said, "Patriarch Yang has to be careful here, it won't be good if it causes a fire." The wood and shavings are flammable. ”

Patriarch Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "We will clean up every day, and these shavings and sawdust are the best to take back to the fire for cooking, but I am reluctant to throw them away." ”

"It's just a place for us to work, and the timber is in another cave." Patriarch Yang smiled and said, "The original wood is placed in another cave, so that if something happens, it won't affect the others." ”

"It's me who thinks too much, you've all been doing it for so many years and have a lot of experience." Hong Lianshuo's bright black eyes looked at him and said.

"Mrs. Hong reminded me right, we didn't have so much wood before, and most of the boats were customized by other shipowners. Let's do something. Patriarch Yang looked at her with wise eyes and smiled.

"Mrs. Hong." Lu Dahai bowed his hand.

"The sea." Hong Lianshuo looked at him wearing paper shoes and said, "Are you comfortable to wear?" ”

"Comfortable." Lu Dahai raised his foot and twisted his foot, and stomped his foot again, "Look, it's good, it's not cold at all." ”

"Be careful, don't go near the fire, it won't burn." Seeing this, Hong Lianshuo carefully admonished, "It's all at once." ”

"I originally wanted to wear paper clothes, but I didn't dare to wear them because I was afraid of the fire." Lu Dahai smiled innocently when he heard this, "In this cave, it's not so cold, this hand is hot." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Hong Lianshuo's bright eyes looked at the huge carpentry road.

"I can't go to sea this winter, and I'm idle at home, so it's good to work." Patriarch Yang said with a smile on his face, "If you have something to do, you won't be idle and make trouble." ”

"Troublemaker?" Hong Lianshuo raised his eyebrows and looked at him lightly and said.

"There are a lot of idle people, they are all big and small, strong, young and vigorous, and they can be encircled when they have something to do." Patriarch Yang smiled and said, "This winter, I will learn the craft." ”

"Understood, don't get too tired." Hong Lianshuo nodded with a smile in his eyebrows.

"It's tiring, it's much easier than going to sea." Patriarch Yang said with a smile.

Patriarch Yang led Hong Lianshuo to look at the progress of the ship, he was worthy of being a master, and he was much more thoughtful than himself.

Hong Lianshuo opened the water bladder and poured two sips, "Why is the sea itself, what about the others!" ”

"I heard that you are here, and I have come to see you, so I will stay and watch." Lu Dahai smiled stupidly.

"Sit, let's sit down and talk." Patriarch Yang pointed to Xiao Mazha and said.

Hong Lianshuo sat down and looked at them and said, "We won't come a year ago, and I'm afraid we'll have to freeze when we come again." ”

"Okay! It's freezing on this day, and it's nothing. Patriarch Yang sat down and nodded with a smile.

"Do you have enough food at home? You won't be hungry, will you? Hong Lianshuo looked at them with concern and asked.

"Nope! Where can you starve yourself next to the sea! Patriarch Yang smiled like a bright sun, "Follow you to fish, there are a lot of dried fish this year." ”
