Back to the age: three-year-old cute baby becomes a group pet

Chapter 52 The Bed Frame

In the afternoon, Chaoyun took the list made by the little girl to go shopping. Originally, the little girl wanted to follow her, but later she said that she walked too slowly, so she stopped going and waited at home.

Although there were not many things on the list, they were all things that were only willing to buy during the Chinese New Year. The aniseed pepper and tea leaves were all luxury items for the Chinese New Year, and Chao Yun was a little distressed.

But facing the little girl's expectant eyes, she couldn't back down, she planned to buy only one or two of each item, and always took the first step to try.

After her mother left, Cheng Li dragged her elder brother to the dam, "Brother, let's cut wicker and come back, and ask my third uncle to help weave a basket."

"what?"

"Carry tea eggs for mom to sell. The tea eggs need to be warm to be delicious. My parents thought that carrying a basket would do the trick, and they needed to buy an earthen pot. Oh, there are too many things to do, and I can't handle it!"

Cheng Wen was relieved, "See if you can, are you still too busy? How busy are you? At worst, I will prepare for another day tomorrow. Are you in a hurry?"

"Yeah!" Cheng Li nodded earnestly, "Brother is right, I was too anxious, take your time, let's cut wicker first."

"Okay!" Cheng Wen'an took out the chopping knife, "Little two and three, you go to collect firewood, and I will accompany my little sister to chop wicker."

From the bottom of the dam to the Huaihe River, when there is no water, there is a sandy land more than one mile wide, with patches of willows planted on it. In summer, this is a good place to enjoy the shade and catch cicadas.

Using both hands and feet, Cheng Wen'an climbed up in two or three strokes, specially picking and chopping long branches with uniform thickness.

By the way, I cut off the old short branches at the lower end of the willow trunk, and took them back for burning.

The willows and poplars along the Huaihe River and the Weihe River are not allowed to be cut down for firewood. These trees are river-protecting trees.

Old people and children know the horror of flooding in the Huaihe River, so everyone consciously does not cut down the branches by the river, and at most cuts the old short branches on the trunk.

As for cutting some branches and going back to weave things, as long as it is not excessive, no one jumps out to criticize, and everyone relies on self-consciousness, and there are no special patrol personnel.

When the brothers and sisters came back with willow branches and a bundle of short firewood, Cheng Shanghu was still surprised, "Why did you come back after cutting willow branches today? People will come and scold you if you see them."

"Third uncle, weave a basket for you."

Seeing the little niece pointing at the bundle of uniform green willow branches, Cheng Shanghu smiled, "So there are some people like you who don't understand?"

"What's wrong?" Cheng Li looked up at the third uncle.

"The willow branches are soft, and hard branches are needed to make the frame for weaving back baskets. Moreover, the willow branches are suitable for weaving only after processing."

"Ah? Then what should I do? I'll use it the day after tomorrow." Cheng Li thought it could be used after cutting it off, otherwise she would have called Sanshu to make it up a few days ago.

"Okay, let me solve it," Cheng Shanghu waved his hand, "What kind of back basket do you want?"

"It needs to be a back basket that can hold a water boiling pot."

"Where's the crock?"

"I haven't bought it yet."

"What are they used for?"

"To cook tea chicken to sell, the earthen pot should be able to be taken out and boiled on the stove, and then put back into the basket."

"How big?"

"I don't know, it can cook more than 100 eggs."

Cheng Shanghu went back to the room, and soon came out again, "You take care of the house, I'll buy wicker made by others."

"Thank you third uncle." Cheng Li thanked cheerfully. It turned out that she could go to the weaving back basket to buy the finished materials.

"You're welcome, you have an idea, and Uncle San also supports you."

After Cheng Shanghu left, the glass door of Hu's house opened, and Bai Yanling strolled over, "Xianxian, why did you move this bed out of your house?"

She pointed to the dismantled wooden frame bed leaning against the south wall of the kitchen, "Put it here, if you are not careful, you will trip over people."

"That's right!" Cheng Li then accused the hall sister, "Sister Xian, there are many people coming and going here. It's not safe, you and sister Mei... move there."

Cheng Li's little finger pointed to the east wall next to the north door of Hu's house.

There is the partition wall between the old and new dormitories, and the courtyard wall of the original warehouse. After the new dormitory was built, only one gate was opened, and the remaining half-drawn courtyard wall,
"It's the same over there. In our house, you put the bed frame here. It's an unorganized and undisciplined behavior. If someone else's house is also piled up on the south wall of the kitchen, is this dormitory yard still plausible? Move quickly !"

"Yes, we will move now."

Cheng Xian took the little girl and moved the bed frame to the east wall swiftly.

"Hey, hey," Bai Yanling became anxious, chasing Cheng Xian and the sisters who were carrying the bed frame, "You all left my door."

"Where is it?" Cheng Li ran to the east wall and stood against the wall with short legs, and glanced left and right, "Aunt Bai, look, the left and right are not blocking the door of your house, this wall is far away from you The door frame of the house is still far away! It’s safe to put it here, it’s Aunt Bai who is very conscious and considerate of everyone.”

Bai Yanling stared at the pudgy little girl leaning against the east wall, and then looked at the bedstead that had been placed against the wall, her face was very ugly, "Little Si, have you crossed the line?"

"Crossing the border?" Cheng Li looked puzzled, "Aunt Bai, isn't this my house? My house used to be four rooms, but now I can use it. This wall is also okay?"

Cheng Xian and Cheng Mei continued to move the bed legs over, "Little Si, get out of the way, why can't we use the wall of our house? There are so many people in our family, several people squeeze into one room, there is no place to put things , What's wrong with putting it next to this wall? It's the safest place and the least likely to stumble."

Cheng Li moved away from the wall, and Cheng Xian and Cheng Mei leaned the bed legs against the wall, "It's good, but it takes up such a wide side of the bed legs. When the third uncle comes back, ask the third uncle to cut some wooden dowels and nail them to the wall. On both sides of this bed frame, don't fall down and hit people."

"Impossible," Cheng Li waved her hand, "There are no children here who dare to be naughty."

"That's just in case."

"That's right!"

The two cousins ​​sang together, making Bai Yanling jump in anger, "Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, come out and take care of your granddaughter? What are you doing here? How can you leave things at someone else's door?"

She called Mrs. Cheng and went to the south hall of Cheng's house.

"Stop!" Cheng Li yelled, taking advantage of Bai Yanling's pause, ran up to her and stretched her short arms to stop her.

"Aunt Bai, my grandma is home. The wheat is harvested. There are no adults in the house. You can take the opportunity to bully us. Children, you just can't. Come into my house. You are rude. You are at home. We are not allowed. into your house."

Mrs. Cheng went back to her hometown?
Bai Yanling really didn't know, she thought the old lady was sick and lying on the kang, "Xiao Si, hasn't your grandma not worked for more than ten years?"

"Because of this, she said that her arms and legs ... both hurt. My grandpa said ... work hard. The pain stopped, so she went back."

Bai Yanling "..." Did this fat girl treat her like a three-year-old child?
Cheng Li's "..." just makes you unbelievable, why don't you keep asking?

"Is that so?" Bai Yanling felt guilty and wanted to turn around, "Then when your third uncle and your grandfather come back, we'll discuss the placement of the bed frame."

"It's useless to discuss. Over there is...my home site. I borrowed a house for you to live in, but I didn't say that my yard belongs to you too."
