Chapter 14 Building a Storage Room
After about an hour, the two each chopped a pile of firewood and bamboo.

Tie the firewood with a rope, divide it into two bundles, and then insert the two sections of the shoulder pole into the two bundles of firewood, and you can carry it away.

The two went down the mountain carrying firewood that was almost as tall as themselves.

Liu Yao felt that the bamboo on her body was nothing at all, and she walked very lightly.

Fang Wenyan, who fell behind, was bleeding from a head injury, a little weak, and walked very slowly. Liu Yao stopped and stopped to wait for the little boy behind.

Fang Wenyan sighed silently in her heart, what a tough woman she is.

After finally getting the firewood to the door, Fang Wenyan was already paralyzed from exhaustion.

Fang Wenyan felt that he had come back to life after directly drying a bowlful of water.

After eating some leftovers, he picked up the hatchet and chopped firewood at the door.

The freshly cut firewood is still wet, so it has to be cut into pieces, and then the larger firewood is split and dried in the sun before it can be used to light the fire.

Liu Yao here pretended to pick up the bamboo to the firewood, but actually stepped into the space and cut the bamboo to the same height with a sickle.

Just be a little taller than yourself.Then I made a frame with thick wood, and then fixed the bamboo on the wood one by one. When I was hungry, I washed a cucumber and ate it.

After working in the space for a full day, I finally took the prototype of the storage room. Although it doesn't look very beautiful, it is quite strong.

Then put a few bamboos on the top, spread the oiled paper cloth bought in the market, and a simple storage room is ready.

Now just wait for the crops in the field to mature.

After Liu Yao came out, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Grandpa and grandma came back together.After washing the dirt on my hands and feet, I started cooking.

The two stoves are ignited at the same time, and the big tripod is cooking, and the two pots next to it are cooking rice and boiling water for bathing.

Liu Yao helped to light the fire, while my younger brother wiped his spinning top with a rag in the living room. After playing all day, it was covered with dirt.

Meals were prepared quickly.

A plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a plate of braised fish, and a bowl of braised pork ribs with male cucumber.

After eating and washing, Liu Yao and Liu Yu ran upstairs again.

As soon as he took the lead, he discovered that Fang Wenyan was also watching the stars on the roof of his house.

A person was just lying on the straw mat, looking at the sky with both eyes, without blinking for a long time, and he didn't know if he was really looking at the sky or thinking about something in a daze.

"Sister, hurry up, you're blocking me." Liu Yu urged from behind.

Liu Yao slowly walked up the remaining few steps and went up to the roof.

Fang Wenyan heard movement nearby, turned around and saw Liu Yao and her younger brother also went upstairs, sat up immediately, and greeted them.

"You guys also come up to look at the stars. The stars are very bright tonight. I saw the plane just now, twinkling." Liu Yu said.

Occasionally, planes fly by in the sky, and sometimes there are flying objects that look like stars flying slowly through the sky. It is said that they are meteors, but they don't look like them. Only when I grow up, I realize that those are satellites.

Liu Yao spread out the straw mat and looked up at the stars in the sky.

The weather is too hot recently, there are still cicadas barking at night, some people think they are annoying, but Liu Yao doesn't think so.

Because as long as there are cicadas singing, the children in the village can look for cicada shells.

This can also be sold for money, but the cicada shell is very light, and it may take half a sack to weigh only one catty, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Adults don't bother to pick them up. It only costs two yuan a catty, and it will take many days.

It's better to have more vegetables and fruits, and then you can sell them for more money.

The kids are very happy to pick it up.Finding cicada shells is like playing a game, competing with whoever picks up more.

Generally, the cicada shells are on the trunk from the root of the tree to the height of half a person.

They crawl out of the soil and cling to tree trunks to molt.

Children can just look for this area. They don’t need to go to school or go in groups at night, and they can find about three or two in a day.

The wind is cool and there are no mosquitoes upstairs.From time to time, one or two fireflies fly past, leisurely and comfortable.

Liu Yao thought for a while, then pulled out three tomatoes from behind her like a magic trick.

In fact, it was taken out of space.One for Liu Yu and one for Fang Wenyan.

"Fang Wenyan, do you eat tomatoes? My tomatoes are delicious, come and get them."

The house that Liu Yao and Fang Wenyan are renting is the front and rear neighbors, and the distance between the tops is only about [-] centimeters.

"want!"

As he spoke, he got up, and under the moonlight, he could see everything clearly. Fang Wenyan stepped over with ease, and took the tomato from Liu Yao's hand.

Three people cross-legged eating tomatoes.

These tomatoes are so sweet!
In fact, I was lying on the roof just now, because I missed my father.

I don't know where my father is picking stones now, and whether he is injured.

Generally, the quarrying team does not have a fixed location, and they go to the mountains where they need stone strips.Moreover, they all live in randomly built sheds, and they don't have a phone. Usually, they have to wait until the work is finished before they have time to go down the mountain to call Fang Wenyan.

Although he is very busy, he calls and sends Fang Wenyan a sum of money on time every month.

I was afraid that my father would worry about me, so I told him that I was doing well.

In fact, it's not good at all. I can't eat enough all the time, and I can't sleep well.It's also uncomfortable to wear.

But it's much better now. Although it's a bit lonely living alone, I'm well fed and clothed, and I can sleep as long as I want.

The key is to meet a few good friends.

Everyone is taking care of themselves.

Fang Wenyan ate the tomatoes, chatted with Liu Yao and his brother for a while, then slipped back to his roof.

It's getting late, you have to rest early.

When the rooster crows in the morning, everyone wakes up.After saying hello, they packed up their bags and went downstairs.

In summer, I can sleep upstairs until autumn arrives.The dew will be heavy, and it will not be possible to sleep upstairs.

The dew will wet the quilt and make you catch a cold.

When they were full, the little sisters came to find Liu Yao to hang out again.

"Otherwise, let's go kiln sweet potatoes, but my family doesn't grow them." Xiuxiu said.

"My family has them, let's dig some in the ground!" Lili said.

Liu Yao agreed.

"Otherwise, let's call Wen Yan along, and let's play with him."

Fang Wenyan used to be relatively introverted, but also an outsider.Few boys are willing to play with him. The boys in the village are used to being wild, and they don't understand this kind of quiet child.

Several people shouted towards the window of Fang Wenyan's house.

"Wenyan Wenyan, are you home?"

"We're going to kiln sweet potatoes, are you going?"

Fang Wenyan was tinkering with wood at home, when he heard someone calling him to play, he immediately responded.

"Go, go, wait for me."

As he said that, he put on his shoes and ran over to dig sweet potatoes with Liu Yao.

Liu Yu also expressed that he wanted to go together, so he brought another little radish head.

Lili's sweet potato field happened to be by the river, so the six of them worked together.

Xiuxiu and Lili went to dig sweet potatoes in the field, Liu Yao and Yingzi went to find tiles to build a kiln, and Liu Yu and Fang Wenyan went to find firewood.

 Childhood is beautiful and short.
