The little girl lay at the door and saw Lu Dazhuang walking away, ran back in a hurry, and smiled at Yan Shuisheng: "Brother Shuisheng, my father is out, let's rest for a while!"

Hearing the word rest, the axe in his hand became heavier, but Yan Shuisheng shook his head and still gritted his teeth and insisted.

Seeing that he was stubborn, the little girl didn't speak anymore, tiptoed and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and the soft little hand brushed his face, which was very comfortable, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and his arm seemed to have half a bit of strength.

The little girl took out a green wild hawthorn from her pocket, which was a delicious food that the children in the village usually met their taste needs, she handed it to Yan Shuisheng's mouth, and said, "Brother Shuisheng, eat this." ”

Yan Shuisheng shook his head, he didn't like to eat these sour things, what he liked was fat and thick slices of big fat meat, which was enjoyable to eat like that.

Uncle has always wanted a son, but my aunt's first child was a girl, and there was excessive bleeding during childbirth, and the doctor said that it was likely that he would never be able to give birth to a baby again, which is also an eternal pain in my uncle's heart, right?

Seeing that he didn't eat it, the little girl gnawed on it herself, the wild hawthorn was not yet ripe, it was the time when it was sour, and when she saw her eating Yan Shuisheng's mouth was already overflowing with saliva, she chewed sweetly.

After a while, my aunt came out of the house with a basket, saw the two talking, and instructed: "Changying, don't mess around with Brother Kai, I'll go cut pigweed, stay at home and don't run around!"

"Medium!" Yan Shuisheng agreed, and Xiao Changying also responded, continuing to nibble on the wild hawthorn.

My aunt went out with the basket on his shoulder, and he continued to hold the axe, and after a period of soreness, he felt a little better now.

After eating one, Xiao Changying took out another one from his pocket. The half-sized young man was easy to get hungry, although he had only eaten a big bun in the morning, but listening to her chirping voice, Yan Shuisheng was even hungrier. He was embarrassed to tell his aunt, looking at the little girl in front of him, he opened his mouth and asked, "Changying, do you know where the family bun is?"

"I know!" Xiao Changying nodded and said.

Yan Shuisheng asked again, "Are you hungry now?"

Xiao Changying touched his stomach and said suspiciously, "It seems to be hungry, right?"

Yan Shuisheng deceitfully said: "Why don't you go and break a piece of bread, will we eat it?"

"Medium!" Xiao Changying happily pedaled into the kitchen, and after a while, he came out with half a piece of yellow cornmeal bun.

Xiao Changying ran over and handed the bun to his mouth, and he couldn't wait to take a big bite, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. My uncle's steamed bun is very fragrant, and the finely ground cornmeal is extravagant enough to be mixed with some white flour, which tastes very sweet.

Xiao Changying held the bun and didn't put it down, Yan Shuisheng didn't swallow it yet, and said to her vaguely: "Eat!

Xiao Changying lowered his head and took a bite, handed it to his mouth again, and said, "Brother, eat!" The two of you took a bite and I took a bite, and quickly ate half of it.

The cornmeal bun was a little sloppy, Yan Shuisheng felt a little choked, and asked Xiao Changying to get some water to drink, so she ran to the table where her uncle was sitting, poured out a bowl of tea with tea foam from the big teapot, and after feeding him, she ran back and poured a bowl and drank it.

"Fuck the mother! Dog day open your head, when you are a great person? Isn't it just because there are many people in the family? Dog day! I was in a hurry to pull out the nail of the coffin of the mother, and let the mother stir up a turtle grandson!" The uncle's scolding voice came from outside, and after a while, I saw him carrying a piece of meat with a black face and returning from the water.

Seeing that Yan Shuisheng still maintained a flat posture, his face looked better, but when he turned his face, he saw half of the bun pinched in Xiao Changying's hand, his face turned dark, Lu Dazhuang went up and kicked her buttocks, and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat!

Xiao Changying cried out, Yan Shuisheng's heart trembled, as if he felt that the foot was kicked on him, he wanted to tell his uncle that he asked Changying to take it, but it was like he was gagged, and he couldn't say a word.

After the uncle kicked it, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but when he heard Changying crying, he became a little irritated and shouted: "Don't howl!

Changying's cry came, and his uncle also entered the house with a black face.

Changying twitched on the side, Yan Shuisheng felt guilty in his heart, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!" Changying burst into tears, raised the bun in his hand, and said with a smile: "The bun hasn't dropped!

For some reason, Yan Shuisheng suddenly felt depressed, and suddenly he was not hungry, or maybe he was afraid that his uncle would see it, so he said to Changying: "Brother is not hungry, let's eat!"

Changying nodded, sat on the side and played, eating the rest of the bun one bite at a time.

Lu Dazhuang put down the meat, walked out to the courtyard, looked at the incense on the table that was about to burn out, nodded with satisfaction, and said to him: "Okay, it's stronger than yesterday, put it down when you're tired!"

Yan Shuisheng shook his head and said, "Don't be tired!"

"Hey! It's quite backbone! This is like a man! Not bad!" Lu Dazhuang was very surprised, praised him rarely, and went back to the house with a cigarette bag and pot.

Changying seemed to have forgotten that kick, squatting on the ground to watch the ants move, but Yan Shuisheng kept repeating his uncle's kick in front of him, as well as Changying's cry, guilt like a poisonous snake biting his heart, only the pain of his body could distract him, which made him hold on to half a column of incense after the incense burned out, and did not let go until his arms could no longer hold on.

My aunt came back from mowing the pigweed, poured the pigweed into the pig's trough in the pigsty, and then turned around and went back to the house to wash and prepare for cooking.

"Shui Sheng, come here!" his uncle called him in the back room, Yan Shuisheng dragged his aching feet and sore arms into the house, but saw his uncle sitting on the Taishi chair in the back room, waving to him.

Yan Shuisheng walked over suspiciously, and his uncle shouted sternly: "Kneel!" The Taishi chair was placed by the window, facing the window, the sunlight outside the window spilled into the room, and half of the light was blocked by the uncle's figure, but in Yan Shuisheng's view, it seemed to be shrouded in a circle of time, he didn't know why, his feet were weak and he knelt down.

Uncle said sternly: "The curved ruler can be made into a square and round device, and the straight line is adjusted to the beams, and my carpenter is a master of Luban as the ancestor, and I need to remember that only by meditating and learning and striving for perfection can the skills be steadily improved, and my door can endure......"

Seeing his uncle awkwardly saying some biting words, Yan Shuisheng felt a little funny, didn't he always look down on literati scholars? Why did he drop his bookbag now? Yan Shuisheng heard the familiar name and interjected: "Lu Ban I know, I heard my father say that he is the ancestor of carpenters, stonemasons and masons, and his uncle is also surnamed Lu, is he a descendant of Lu Ban?"

Lu Dazhuang had a hard back, was interrupted by Yan Shuisheng, glared at him, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't Daddy tell Lu Ban that his original name was Gong Loser?

Yan Shuisheng closed his mouth and listened to him continue, Lu Dazhuang was interrupted by him, forgot what to say, thought about it, and continued: "I have rules under the door, first, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, if there is treason and collaboration with the enemy to implicate the master, you need to withdraw your skills and be executed." 2. Filial piety to parents and teachers, if virtue is lacking, you need to take back your skills and expel them from the school. 3. Rigorous and dedicated, no cutting corners, if you do something insulting to the teacher, you need to take back your skills and expel the teacher. Fourth, strict self-discipline, after learning the craft, do not rely on the skills to do things that hurt the nature and reason, if the misconduct, need to withdraw the craft, expelled from the teacher. Five......"

"Daddy, what's the drain?" asked my aunt suddenly in the kitchen.

Uncle snorted angrily and said, "Don't talk about a certain liver, even a certain heart!

"Ah, why is this big head bullying people? I'm not afraid of thunder and thunder!" said my aunt angrily, and when I went into the water, the liver accounted for a quarter, which was a big piece of meat!

Uncle ate the cigarette pouch and pot, and said angrily: "Then what's the way? People are Lizheng, just eat some meat from you, what do you do?" After speaking, he was a little irritable, turned his head and said to Yan Shuisheng: "In short, if you enter my door, you must abide by the door rules, work hard to learn the craft, don't embarrass me, listen to so-and-so?"

"Listen!" Yan Shuisheng nodded and said. Lu Dazhuang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Get up! Tomorrow go into the mountain with me to recognize the wood!"

Yan Shuisheng stood up, feeling confused for a while, is this considered an apprentice?

My aunt cooked the meal and called them over to eat, and the cut pork belly was made into braised pork by her. Yan Shuisheng sat down at the table and was about to take chopsticks to clip it, but Lu Dazhuang knocked on his arm and said, "You forgot what you just said?"

Yan Shuisheng retracted his hand in pain, swallowed his saliva, and had to say honestly: "Master and sister eat first." ”

"Well, that's what it says!" Lu Dazhuang slowly pulled his chopsticks, slumped them on the table, and squeezed them towards the largest piece of the plate.

Yan Shuisheng looked at the tip of his chopsticks with straight eyes, penetrating the fat and tender meat of the braised pork, and the soft fat meat stewed by his aunt was like fish jelly, and it was broken by the chopsticks with a light touch...... Why fish jelly?

Lu Dazhuang picked up the largest piece, put it in Yan Shuisheng's bowl, and said, "Eat!"

"Master Xie......" Yan Shuisheng hurriedly said, then picked up the chopsticks and put the fat meat in his mouth. The soft and glutinous fat in the mouth turns into fragrant gravy and spreads all over the mouth with a light sip, and the lean meat is not firewood at all, and it is very chewy.

Lu Dazhuang sandwiched another piece and put it in Changying's bowl, Xiao Changying took a bite of the fatty meat, but suddenly said: "Dad, I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat ......"

When Lu Dazhuang heard this, he scolded: "What an unlucky thing! No point in it! Who let you eat buns just now? Will you have no stomach to eat meat? If you marry like a bear, you won't be able to live a good life in the future!"

Xiao Changying pursed his lips and wanted to cry again, Lu Dazhuang looked upset, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, let's go outside! Don't bother people here!"

Xiao Changying jumped out of the chair and ran out.

Turning his head to see her running out, Yan Shuisheng felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he originally came up with the idea to let Changying get the bun, and it was he who didn't eat it so that Changying couldn't eat the meat when he was full, and the originally sweet fat meat was like chewing wax in his mouth, and he couldn't taste it at all.

With his head down, he hurriedly finished pulling a bowl of porridge, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I'm full." And he stood up.

"Why do you eat this, isn't it delicious?" asked his aunt with concern, Yan Shuisheng shook his head, didn't speak, turned around and ran out.

Xiao Changying was squatting in the corner watching the ants move, and after a while, she seemed to have forgotten all her sorrows. Yan Shuisheng slowly walked to her side, squatted down, and asked knowingly, "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Changying raised her head and smiled sweetly: "Look at the ants moving." ”

Yan Shuisheng looked at her innocent smile, feeling a little embarrassed, he said to Xiao Changying seriously: "Sister Changying, my brother can't help it, my brother will definitely not coax him in the future, when my brother grows up, no one will want to bully him!"

Xiao Changying said ignorantly: "Well, Brother Shui is the best, I will be a new daughter-in-law when I grow up!"

Yan Shuisheng smiled, pinched her fleshy face, nodded and said, "Brother Zhong! will marry as a daughter-in-law when he grows up!"

Xiao Changying happily stretched out his little finger, Yan Shuisheng glanced at her with a smile, stretched out his little finger, hooked it with her, and recited the mantra with her with great interest: "Hook and hang, a hundred years, no change, whoever changes is a puppy!"
