The fourth girl of the farmer

Chapter 28 The Log Cabin (2)
"Come on, brother, let's push it down quickly, and then run back to help!" The three children tried their best to push the tree trunks down the ravine. run downhill.

"Father, look, it's coming, it's coming!" When night fell, from a distance, the dark trees were approaching.Yang Ziqian also jumped into the river.

The four masters moved the four-knotted trees ashore together, and Yang Danian carried them home one by one.

"Father, do you know which one has a saw?" You can't build a log house, you must have a saw! "Let's borrow it for a few days!"

"The Zhang family at the west end of the village is a carpenter. They have a saw, but I'm afraid he will use it!" Yang Danian thought for a while. In Li's village, there is only one family that has tools. They are also from tenant farmers. It is said that the carpenters are all inherited from their ancestors. With his excellent craftsmanship, he occasionally helps his neighbors with some carpentry work, so his life is not bad, but compared with the Feng family's situation, it is more than enough.

"Father, let's only borrow at night and return it early in the morning, so that it won't affect his use." If you have money, you should hire Zhang Carpenter for house repairs, so you only borrow tools and don't hire anyone. I'm a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll try it!" Yang Danian decided to come to the door to have a try with the cheek.

"Father, I'm hungry!" Yang Ziqian whispered while covering his croaking stomach.

"Okay, you go back to eat first, I'll borrow it and come back, and then, at night, under the moonlight, do some work!" Yang Danian glanced at his daughter with a pouty mouth, this is the expression a child should have.

For dinner, Yueniang made a soup made from half-ripe millet and ground rice milk. Compared with the three meals of corn soup a day, the thick rice soup in this bowl is more fragrant and more hungry.

By the time the family had finished eating, the aunt's family had already entered the room.

She actually, really didn't arrange a room for this family.Wang Hua'er, this is because she doesn't even want to do superficial work.

After all, Yang Zimei's room can accommodate Yueniang and Yang Ziqian; Yang Ziqiang's room can accommodate Sen Zilin.However, the main family didn't open their mouths. This big family really had to spend the night in the main room and the kitchen.

"Yue Niang, I've wronged you!" Yang Danian said softly to his wife with the corners of his eyes astringent, watching Yue Niang who spread the dried cotton wool in the corner of the main room and put the fifth girl to sleep.

"It's okay, it's summer, and I'm not afraid of the cold!" Yueniang smiled wryly, tonight, the whole family had to sleep on the floor, who wouldn't feel wronged?

Yang Danian took the borrowed saw and went out.

Behind the moonlight are three sons and a girl.

Carrying the tree on two big rocks, he and his eldest son pulled the saw, ready to start work.

Yang Ziqian said, this plank is two fingers thick when sawn, and it is too thin to be used as a wall.

I have never touched this kind of work before, and the saw is very uncontrollable. The father and son are pulling and tugging, and they are very tired. The sawing is less than one meter, and the more sawing, the thicker the board.

"No, no, Dad, you can't saw like this." Yang Ziqian picked up the knife next to him and drew a long straight line on the tree. "So, you have to saw along this line, and your Hands must be smooth and cooperative.”

"Father, let me and elder brother try it." Yang Zilin didn't open his mouth all the time. When he fell beside him, he could tell that his father was using too much force and his brother's force was too weak. Once he got to his side, the saw sank, so Uneven thickness.

"By the way, Dad, this way, you burn these miscellaneous grains and grasses. Wait a minute, let's hit the cornerstone first." Yang Ziqian watched Yang Danian let go, fearing that he would be discouraged, and quickly arranged for him to do other things. Once he gets busy , there will be no distraction.

Yang Danian ignited the flint, and with a little flame, it burned more and more vigorously, and burned all the sundried grain and grass debris today.

The firelight reflected the two sons who cooperated tacitly next to them pulling the big saw; the third son and his daughter were squatting on the ground, writing and drawing with branches, and talking, both of them had expressions of excitement on their faces.

"Okay, I know what to do, just leave it to me!" When Yang Zisen stood up from the ground, his face was full of confidence.

Isn't it just some twigs, cut into wooden nails, and later, the brothers saw holes in the wooden boards, and then fastened them with wooden nails, and the wooden boards were connected into one piece to form a wall.

Well, well done, in less than an hour, the two elder brothers sawed two pieces of wood.

"In this way, one hole is drilled on one side, and one is drilled at a certain distance; then, the wooden nails are inserted, and once squeezed, they will be connected together!" Taking advantage of everyone's news, Yang Ziqian demonstrated how to transform wooden boards into walls.

Sure enough, seamless, so to speak, this method can be done.

The eyes of Yang Danian and his three sons were full of light.

"Tonight, that's it. Let's go back and rest!" Thinking about staying up late last night, and tonight, I can't stand it anymore, Yang Ziqian offered to propose.

"Going back, it's not the same as there is no place to sleep. If you work for a while, if you are tired, just squint at the side for a while." Yang Zilin could see that the uncle was cold-blooded, and the uncle was too weak, so he had better fix his house early That's the right way.They sleep on the ground everywhere, and it doesn't make any difference if they don't come back.

What he said was everyone's silence and enthusiasm.

"Girl, what should I do next?" Yang Danian completely regarded his daughter as a leader and asked for instructions.

"Father, let's still build a few houses. In this way, you dig the four corners first, or cut down a big tree and use it as a pillar. Go up the mountain tomorrow and cut it." With this kind of enthusiasm, within a few days, your house will take shape. Model up.Yang Ziqian, the chief designer, dispatched workers unceremoniously.

When Dongfang was pale, the little ones were too sleepy, so they sat around the wood pile and fell asleep leaning against each other.

Yang Danian gently picked up the saw on the ground, glanced at the sleeping children, and hurried to Zhang's house.It's agreed, borrow it at night and pay it back during the day, at least, you can't delay him from work.

A pile of wood boards, sawdust all over the floor, and several sleeping children. At dawn, seeing that Yang Danian hadn't brought the children back, he went to his house to find them.I don't know what these fathers are doing, and they haven't returned all night.

When she saw the scene in front of her, Yueniang's eyes were red and red, her nose was sour, and tears flowed out.

"Hey, Yueniang, it's so early, who are you?" Before he could stop it, the voice of Mrs. Feng greeting Yueniang woke up the group of children.

"Mother, why are you here!" Yang Zimu opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw the crying mother.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Yang Ziqian woke up and was shocked to see Yueniang crying. Maybe, Wang Hua'er played some new tricks to make his mother angry.

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Yueniang raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
