A few people talked about it, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they headed towards Liu Hang's house.

It's the New Year, although Chengxin went empty-handed, but he also had things in his pocket.

When he arrived at Liu Hang's house, he saw three little dots playing, and three women sitting on the side bragging about it.

Several people introduced Chengxin to who was who's daughter-in-law and which child was.

After he finished his introduction, Chengxin took out the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago from his bag, and gave one for each small point.

These little guys are also well educated, they didn't accept Chengxin's red envelopes, they all waited for their parents to nod their heads, said thank you uncle before accepting them, and then handed them over to their respective mothers after a while.

This is the same as when I was a child, I don't know how to spend money, and the red envelopes I received during the New Year are handed over to adults.

When they know how to spend money, their parents will take the initiative to take it away, and they will say in their name.

"Good son, my mother will save it for you, and I will give it to you when I grow up," or rather, the money has to be kept for school.

Whenever I think of this, I feel stupid at the time, I didn't see that after the money was taken away, the adults went to play cards, maybe they were unlucky, and the little money they lost was enough to pay the tuition for a year.

After work, Chengxin thought that in the future, the children of his relatives would give red envelopes to two, one for them to give to their parents, and the other for them to use for themselves, so that they would not follow their old path.

However, with the progress of the times, now, most parents will no longer ask for their children's money, saying that keeping is keeping, and getting a card for him to save.

It's like when I was a child, I just took it in my hand and touched it, and I couldn't cover it hot, so pitiful to think about.

For three days in a row, Chengxin's family ate and ate that, and it didn't stop until 29.

Handsome, hurry up and answer the phone~~

In the morning, Chengxin had just finished breakfast when the phone rang.

Who's so early? Chengxin is still a little puzzled.

"Hey, brother, what's the matter?"

"Are you a kid? Come here as soon as you get up," he said on the phone.

"I got up early, I just finished breakfast, what's the matter, you tell me first."

"What's the matter? You'll know when you come, hurry up. You've been away for a few years, and you're going to have to work hard today. ”

！！！

Chengxin didn't ask too much, closed the door and walked towards the old house.

Before entering the yard, Chengxin saw Zhong Tao in the middle of the yard, holding a hammer steel drill, hammering a long log under his feet.

As soon as he saw this situation, Chengxin remembered that he had to chop firewood every year for the New Year.

"Look, come over quickly, you have to split at least ten roots today, and see Chengxin come in," Zhong Tao looked up and said.

！！！ Ten roots? Are you when I'm a Super Saiyan? In the past, he took Zhong Tao's hammer and began to chop wood.

In the eyes of many people, chopping wood is the kind on TV, putting a wooden pier less than half a meter on the ground, and then a person on the side, holding a big axe, and then chopping it down, and then the wood squats in half.

Then, after standing up the wooden block divided into two halves and splitting until it is the right size.

This way of chopping firewood, Chengxin has also seen it on TV, from childhood to adulthood, this hometown chopping firewood, all with steel drills, hand hammers, and iron wedges.

From under the eaves of the pigsty on one side, a log three meters long and more than ten centimeters in diameter was casually brought over and placed on the ground.

Pick up the steel drill in your left hand, place the drill bit on the log, and hammer it with the hammer in your right hand.

The steel drill was hammered into the wood, and the wood naturally cracked a crack and extended towards the other end.

Once the gap is large enough to lower the iron wedge, there is no need to hammer the steel drill.

Put the iron wedge in the gap, and then hammer hard, and when the iron wedge is submerged in the wood, pick up an iron wedge and put it in the gap that extends out and hammer it hard.

When the back one is strengthened, the iron wedge in front will loosen, and this will be used alternately until the wood is split in half.

This is not the end, you have to divide the wood that is divided into two halves, and finally divide the wood into four long pieces into two halves, and make wooden strips that are more than one meter and less than two meters, and that's it.

Finally, put the chopped firewood under the eaves, spread a layer horizontally, and then spread a layer vertically on top of it, and pile it up until it is easy to hold it at a high level.

There are several kinds of wood, such as camphor trees, elm trees, plane trees, pine trees, some are easy to split, and some dare not split.

Easy to split wood, do not use iron wedges, directly two steel drills, one after the other alternately use to split the wood, but there are not many of this kind of wood.

It's not easy to split the wood, and the chopping down can anger you, and finally opened the head with a steel drill, and the iron wedge was put down and hammered hard, and a small piece of it was dropped directly for you, and then you continued to use the steel drill to start.

There is also the fact that after splitting the wood with an iron wedge, the wood is still connected, and it is still stuck in the iron wedge, so that you can't take it out.

You'll have to find a way to separate the split wood so that you can get the iron wedge.

From nine o'clock to half past ten, Chengxin just split three three-meter-long logs, if he finished splitting his cousin to say ten, maybe tonight, he will have to work overtime.

"Want Want Want"

Suddenly, Ah Huang, who was lying on the ground watching the two shovelers work, suddenly stood up, and then trotted to the gate of the yard and shouted Wangwang.

"Yo ho, your two brothers are so diligent, are they all split?"

"Dad, I'm back," and a little child's voice, of course, not at Chengxin.

Chengxin was about to look up, when he heard someone talking about them, and when he looked up, it turned out that the army had returned, and it was his sister-in-law He Xiaofeng who spoke, and Zhong Tao's daughter-in-law.

A group of people carry the fruit on their backs, and carry the fruit on their backs.

Cheng Xin and Zhong Tao put down the work in their hands and began to shout.

Chengxin: "Uncle, aunt, fifth uncle, fifth uncle, sixth uncle, sixth uncle, uncle, aunt, parents, sister-in-law."

Cousin: "Uncle, auntie, sixth uncle, sixth aunt, seventh uncle, seventh aunt, uncle, aunt, father, mother."

！！！ Thirteen people, one by one, and one unnamed one was the uncle's son.

"Brother Tao, Brother Chengxin."

When the two brothers finished calling each other, the uncle's son greeted them.

"Hehe, Zhenghao, you should come back early after the school holiday, you are not an uncle and still have to go to work, are you going to play with female classmates?"

When Zhong Tao said this, Zhenghao didn't know how to answer.

Talking about playing at home is a bit like not coming back to work early.

When it comes to playing with classmates, Zhong Tao will definitely say that he is a female classmate.

"You kid, bullying your brother? Others have more than a year to go to university, and of course they are studying at home. ”

"Think everyone is like when you were studying, running all over the mountains during the holidays? Or Internet cafes and puppy love? Uncle said on the side.

Yes, the college students of the old Zhong family in the future, with the help of the uncle, what else can Zhong Tao say, bent down and hugged his son.

"Yicheng, call Uncle Lobby."

"Big sugar crisp," Yi Cheng called obediently.

In fact, this nephew Chengxin has also seen it, but he didn't say a word in total?

"What are you doing outside, aren't you tired after walking for half a day? I went in and said, Chengxin help me stir-fry, your stir-fry is delicious," grandma said to a group of people.

"Okay milk, brother, brother, I'll hand over this firewood to you, I'll cook, hahahaha."

After speaking, Cheng Xin dropped the things in his hand and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

The lunch meal was also quite simple, bacon sausages, a few side dishes, and soup.

Tomorrow there will be more than 30 dishes, and there will be many people, and there will be many hands.

After eating, the two brothers Chengxin and Zhong Tao continued to chop firewood, and as for Zhenghao, they had been driven away.

When he came back, he just joked and asked him to do a meeting, but he wouldn't let him continue to work in the afternoon, after all, others came back from the mountain road early in the morning, and they weren't tired?

As for the uncles, they were in their own houses with their daughters-in-law, cleaning and making beds.

Chengxin said that there was no need to bother, he could live there, but no one paid attention to him, even Zhong's father and Cheng's mother didn't pay attention to him, and they went back to the room to mop the floor and wipe the cabinet.

Okay, since he doesn't live there, then Chengxin also ran to his mother's side, and asked his mother to clean her room by the way, and he also lived here at night, and at the same time, he also ran to make his bed.

What is the bed like in this mountain village?

Made of wood, this is a certainty. A frame with four feet, forty or fifty centimeters high from the ground, and a high frame at the head and foot of the bed, which is to facilitate the construction of mosquito nets.

Making a bed is also very simple, the middle of the bed is a beam of twenty or thirty centimeters apart, and there must be at least five or six from the head of the bed to the bed.

Put the bamboo strips made of bamboo, put them on top of the beams of the frame, then spread a layer of straw on them, then a sheet, then a quilt without a bed cover and a little discolored, and finally a sheet on it, and you're done.

This is also winter, summer, just spread a sheet on the straw, and then put a mattress on it.

Simmons, don't think about the spring mattress, that thing can't be brought in.

However, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, and some people will buy parts and ship them back and then assemble them.

Another is to make a rectangular frame, using a rope made of the outer layer of fibers from the palm tree, fixing one end to the frame, and then weaving a net inside the frame, which also feels like a spring bed.

I remember when I was young, I liked to jump on a bed covered with bamboo strips, but I was yelled at by adults if I didn't jump a few times.

It's not that you're afraid that you'll jump on the bed, but you're afraid that you'll break the bamboo when you spread it at the bottom, so the bed will be dented.
