After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Taiping sent the little girls away. He couldn't help here and would end up covered in dirt all over his body.

This time Zhang Taiping didn't ask Cai Yazhi to weed, but picked up the hoe himself, and let Cai Yazhi use a rake to rake the grass he removed and put it on the side. This job is easier.

"Being like a city dweller knows how to be romantic, but there are a lot of mosquitoes and ants on the mountain in summer, and it's very cold in winter, so it's not convenient to live here." Cai Yazhi asked behind her.

Zhang Taiping kept moving his hands and replied: "In summer, you can plant mosquito repellent grass around the bamboo building or wooden house, if not, take some insect repellent powder from the old man and sprinkle it around to ensure that there will be no more insects." Ants and the like. As for winter, it’s easier to deal with it. If you don’t put a bed inside, it’s like the kind of kang we have at home. It’s not hot in summer, but you can put charcoal inside in winter. Yes, the whole house is warm inside."

"Then how big a square are you going to build?"

"The size of a third of our bedroom."

"Is it too small? After the kang is set up, there is no room for other things."

Zhang Taiping shook his head with a smile and said: "This kind of prescription is originally used for resting and watching the scenery. It only needs a kang inside, and nothing else is needed. The most is to put a small cabinet and coffee table inside. .”

"Don't you want a place to cook?"

"No!" Zhang Taiping replied, "One is that it is not safe for inexperienced people to cook on the mountain, and the other is that if all the people who come here cook for themselves, the village will definitely lose some, so we save it." Something to cook."

The two of them have been busy until the evening before finishing five or six places, let alone dozens of places, and I don't know how much time it will take to finish it entirely by two people.

On the way back, Zhang Taiping carried all the farm tools by himself, and only Cai Yazhi carried the kettle and a small bamboo basket. There was nothing in the basket. This was just a habit of rural people when they went to the fields or the mountains.

"It may take too long for the two of us to finish the places I marked. Go back and find a few people to help." Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi, who looked more and more beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"It's better not to." Cai Yazhi hesitated for a while and said.

"What?" Zhang Taiping was puzzled.

Cai Yazhi pulled a strand of hair floating on her forehead behind her ears, and expressed her concerns: "It's not good to always hire people to do things like this, and people may gossip behind and think we are too lazy. Such a waste of money."

In fact, what Zhang Taiping wants to say is that this kind of behavior of his family is generating income for the villagers. If he does the same job but gets a higher salary than outsiders, the villagers will not have any other opinions. Besides, there are one or two people It doesn't matter what opinion you have, there is no need to care too much about it.

But thinking that this is the first time that Cai Yazhi raised objections, besides, the construction of the bamboo and wooden houses is not too urgent, as long as it is done before the hot spring in the village is built.So she didn't refute her opinion: "Well, it's just that you will be tired for a while."

Cai Yazhi smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "There's nothing to be tired about. It's a bit uncomfortable if I'm left idle all day." Then she looked at Zhang Taiping and said, "It's pretty good."

Zhang Taiping could understand what she meant, and he also liked the scene of the husband and wife working together.

While eating dinner, Xiaoxi suddenly flew back from the outside and landed on Cai Yazhi's shoulder, chattering and pointing in the direction of the door with her wings.

Cai Yazhi also followed Zhang Taiping's example, flicked its sharp beak with her index finger, and said with a smile, "Where did you go? It made me worry for two days."

Xiao Xi still pointed out with her wings and shouted, there was no anxious or fearful expression on her face, but she seemed to be very happy.

Cai Yazhi and Zhang Taiping got up and went outside to have a look. There were no stars tonight, and the bright moonlight shone on the ground like a layer of hoarfrost in early winter.

As soon as the two came out, they heard two noisy voices shouting: "I'm back" "Haha, I'm back"

The faces of the two couldn't help showing smiles. It had been a long time since I heard these two weird voices, and now they suddenly sounded kind.

Two brightly colored parrots flew back by the moonlight and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulders, then closed their mouths and began to comb their feathers.

To the surprise of the two, there were two small things behind them. When they got closer, they could see that they were two small parrots, and they also landed on Cai Yazhi's shoulders in a disingenuous manner.

At this time, Fan Ming and the three little girls also came out of the room, and when they saw the two little parrots on Cai Yazhi's shoulders, their eyes lit up immediately: "Ah, they are two little parrots, let me see, let me see .”

Fan Ming stretched out his hand to hold a small parrot in his palm. The little parrot didn't recognize his life, and stood on Fan Ming's palm and screamed, but he couldn't speak yet, he could only make a clear and crisp cry.

The other one was held in Cai Yazhi's hand and watched carefully.

"Mom, let me see." Yayaza shouted from below.

Cai Yazhi squatted down, and three little girls surrounded her, looking at the little parrot with beautiful palms and bright eyes, and touching its comfortable feathers with her fingers from time to time.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile beside him: "Just saying that I haven't seen these two guys for such a long time, it turns out that they secretly hatched two little parrots outside.

The two big parrots on the shoulders raised their heads proudly after hearing Zhang Taiping's words, and cooed a few times.

At this time, Xiaoxi, who had been neglected by everyone, also called out a few times. Zhang Taiping took out some strawberries and fed it, but he didn't know how it got together with the parrot's family of four.

Wukong also wanted to tease the little parrot with his fingers, but Fan Ming patted its outstretched paw with his hand, fearing that it would injure the little parrot unknowingly, since it has a history of digging out bird nests.

The little parrot on Zhang Taiping's shoulders exploded immediately after seeing Wukong's movement, and shouted angrily, "Bad guy!" "Bad guy!" Both of them pecked at Wukong.In their impression, monkeys and monkeys are not good things.

When it flew over Wukong's head, the innermost barks had changed, one turned into a dog barking "Wow", and the other turned into a wolf howling "Woo".So scared that Wukong immediately ran away with his head in his arms.

The two parrots saw that Wukong had escaped and did not chase after them. They landed on the wooden stick hanging by the door and stared closely at the parrot that stopped and looked over in the room.

"Call me sister." Fan Ming said to the little parrot.

It's a pity that the little parrot doesn't know how to learn other people's speech at all, and can only make a cooing sound when it opens its mouth.

After playing for a while, the little parrot Fan Ming asked Zhang Taiping, "Brother, where do these two little parrots live?"

Zhang Taiping looked at the boom where the two parrots were standing in the air and said, "Let's stay with their parents right here."

"Won't it fall?" Fan Ming asked worriedly.

Zhang Taiping said: "Try first and then talk." Then he grabbed the two little parrots and placed them on the boom in the air. "The little parrot is still too small, its claws can't hold the boom, and its body is very flat. Zhang Taiping wobbled and couldn't stand upright after a while after putting it on. The last one was still drunk He seemed to sway back and forth a few times and fell down from the boom, as if he was terrified and forgot to even spread his wings to fly. Zhang Taiping caught him from below.

Zhang Taiping also grabbed the other one from the mountain and said: "It seems that they can't stand on it."

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "Let's eat first, and hang a basket on it after eating Wanfan, and just put these two little guys in it."

After dinner, Cai Yazhi and Ye Ling went to pack their things. Fan Ming and two little girls squatted in front of Zhang Taiping with two little parrots in their hands, watching Zhang Taiping make a basket.

For Zhang Taiping, this is really a small matter, and it was made in a short time. It looks like a birdcage, but there is no upper air vent, and the little parrots can freely enter and exit without restriction.Three iron chains were tied up close to two big parrots and hung in the air.

"Okay, so it won't fall down." Yaya said from below, looking at the uncovered birdcage in the air.

"thanks, thanks!"

Two and strange voices came from above their heads, and I don't know whose voice the two of them learned.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You two are polite."

Fan Ming found some liquid food to feed the two little parrots. Zhang Taiping checked that the time was only past eight o'clock, so he walked outside, planning to talk to old man Qian about building bamboo houses and wooden houses.

After Zhang Taiping came out, Grimace who just had dinner followed, and there was a small oil bottle behind him, Grimace turned his head and yelled, but he didn't dare to follow, turned around and went into the house.

The bright moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing, and the croaking of cicadas and frogs not only does not destroy the tranquility, but adds a little artistic conception.One person and one dog walk comfortably on the narrow road.

When we arrived at old man Qian's house, a little black dog went out to greet him first. Hearing the sound from a distance, he started barking in the yard. He didn't stop until he saw the grimace beside Zhang Taiping. Not only was he not afraid, he actually Thinking of Grimace coming to have some intimacy, it can be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

The grimace was naturally impatient with a little guy dangling in front of him, and he yelled at the little black dog, scaring it to sit on the ground.Squeaking, he looked at the grimace with some grievance.

Old man Qian heard the barking of the little black dog in the yard, and when he came out, he saw Zhang Taiping and Grimace walking into the yard.

Zhang Taiping came forward to give Old Man Qian a cigarette first, lit it up and asked, "Have you eaten, Uncle Qian?"

Old man Qian took a drag on his cigarette and said, "I just ate."

Zhang Taiping pointed to the little black dog behind him and said with a smile: "This little black dog is not bad. He is not afraid of grimaces and dares to approach him. You must know that many big dogs will not approach him. He will definitely be a great dog in the future." dog."

Speaking of this little black dog, the old man Qian also had a smile on his face: "I bought it for 180 yuan in Daji. I don't know if it can be as smart and obedient as the old Heizi." He raised his eyes and remembered the big dog Heizi who died in the battle that time he entered the mountain.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Based on the momentum that he is not afraid of grimaces at such a young age, he will definitely be a good dog when he grows up."

Old Man Qian nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything you want to do here?"

Zhang Taiping explained his idea of ​​building bamboo houses and wooden houses on the mountain: "This is not a small project, I would like to ask Uncle Qian to help."

After hearing this, old man Qian agreed without any hesitation: "It's no problem with this one. Anyway, I've been idle these days. How many places are you going to build on the mountain?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "About thirty places, ten bamboo houses and twenty wooden houses."

"There are so many, that's really not a small matter. I'm afraid we can't do it just with the two of us." Old Man Qian said looking at Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "I know this, can you find five or six more people?"

"No problem!" Old Man Qian patted his chest. "There is also a carpenter in the nearby village. He was born under the same master as him. He can be regarded as a brother of the same school. If the craftsmanship is good, you can call him over. As for the labor, you can find a few people in the village. "

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Then this matter will trouble Uncle Qian."

Old Man Qian asked, "When do you plan to start construction?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Then I'll go over and find someone tomorrow."

Zhang Taiping laughed loudly: "That would be great, what do you think Uncle Qian thinks about this salary?"

Old man Qian thought for a while and said: "A carpenter's price is one hundred a day. Men are needed for labor, so let's calculate it at fifty or sixty a day. What do you think?" Carpenters are craftsmen, and the price must be higher than that of laborers , this price is the general price in rural areas.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "How about this, Uncle Qian and the other carpenters are paid 150 yuan a day each, and those who work in the village are paid 80 yuan a day each. But the work should be better."

The old man Qian glanced at Zhang Taiping and said: "The price is up to you, and you can rest assured of the quality of the work. The work done with my supervision will definitely pass the quality standard."

"Haha, I feel relieved this way." Zhang Taiping laughed.

"Have you prepared the bamboo and wood?" Old Man Qian asked.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I don't know where there is wood, and the bamboo at Mr. Zhao's place is too thin to use. Does Uncle Qian know that there are wood and bamboo there?"

"I know where to find wood, it's in the town, but I don't know where to find bamboo."

"The bamboo will be stored for a while, and the wood will be bought to build a wooden house. Why don't we go and look at the wood tomorrow?" Zhang Taiping said.

"Okay, just call me tomorrow morning."

When Zhang Taiping came back with Grimace, it was past nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock, when he reached the gate of the yard, Grimace suddenly let out a roar from his throat.Zhang Taiping patted its back, because he had already seen clearly who was sitting on the big rock in front of the yard.

"Is the commander back?" The old village head asked when he heard the grimace's roar and stood up.

"It's me." Zhang Taiping replied, "Is there anything the old man wants from me?"

"Well, there are some things." The old village head took out a flickering dry tobacco pot from his mouth and replied.

Zhang Taiping said: "Let's go into the room and talk."

The old village chief said: "No, just a few words, and then leave, there is no need to go in."

"Oh, tell me, old man."

"It's like this." The old village chief organized his words and said: "You didn't go there today, you have already discussed with Fengyukou Village, and you can go to sign a peace agreement in two days."

"How are the specific situations allocated?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The old village head replied: "As we discussed in advance, Zhuang Yu took up [-]% of it. It's just that Fengyukou Village put forward a condition, that is, when the road from their village to our village is rebuilt They repair half and we repair half, and we also need to do a good job of greening on both sides of the road."

Zhang Taiping nodded: "This is not too much."

"Well, that's why you're here tonight, just listen to what you have in mind." After finishing speaking, the old village chief turned around and prepared to leave. "I'm leaving, so you can go too."

"Then I won't send it off." Zhang Taiping turned around and was about to go home when he heard the old village chief speak again.

"I heard from Xiaozhi that you plan to build bamboo houses and wooden houses on the mountain?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Yes, I just went over to discuss this matter with Uncle Qian."

"If you need help with anything, just ask for it." The old village chief turned and left after saying a word, and disappeared from Zhang Taiping's sight under the moonlight.

Zhang Taiping watched the figure of the old village chief disappear among the trees and sighed softly, and also entered the house.After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Taiping sent the little girls away. He couldn't help here and would end up covered in dirt all over his body.

This time Zhang Taiping didn't ask Cai Yazhi to weed, but picked up the hoe himself, and let Cai Yazhi use a rake to rake the grass he removed and put it on the side. This job is easier.
