Because there was a big goose hanging in front of them, the men were doing it enthusiastically. Even Yang Zhe, who usually cared about everything and loved taking advantage, was working hard.
After all, it's not like he doesn't know who his little brother is. If he stays here and is lazy, his little brother will definitely not let him take advantage of him.
There is strength in numbers, and the work is not too difficult, so it was finished in a short time.
Yang Rui went into the house to finish the meal. Father Yang and his sons were not idle either. They just finished picking up the corn kernels in the big bamboo basket in the house. After picking up the corn kernels, they peeled the peanuts.
Cat winter returns to cat winter. Northeastern people are not completely idle in winter, and they also need to do some work at hand.
After peeling the peanuts, a few people rolled the hemp rope.
Later, after pasting the pancakes and covering the pot to stew the meat, Yang Rui came out, but instead of asking his father and his brothers to take a rest, he said in a dignified manner: "Dad, spring will come next year. I want to hold a few of them." Chicken, how many chicken coops can you make for me?"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Nuan wanted to cover his face. My father-in-law and several brothers have been working for a long time, why can't they let them rest for a while?
Father Yang was very used to his old son's arrogant work: "I'll make that thing again when the time comes. The one made now is also strong! Tell me about you, how can you do that old and difficult carpentry job, and make such a simple chicken coop? You don't know how! I really don't know how your brain grew?"
Yang Rui looked at his father: "Dad, it's spring and I'm so busy. I have to go to work again. My wife's belly will definitely be very big by then. I won't have time!"
Yang's father thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case: "Go and grab a handful of straw, and I will teach you when you come back! You will know how to do it later!"
Yang Rui was extra obedient this time and went out to bring a large bundle of straw. Yang Cong looked at his brother's actions and was speechless: "Fourth brother, how much do you plan to make up?"
"Just make up a few, and I'll keep the rest to ignite the fire!" Nowadays, under the planned economy, people in the villages are not allowed to raise more chickens. Each family has a certain quota. Yang Rui doesn't intend to make up so many older chickens. Chicken coop.
It's no use if it takes up too much space.
Then, Nuan Nuan saw Yang's father's chicken coop lecture hall.
Teacher: Father Yang
Assistant coaches: three brothers, Yang Zhe, Yang Cong and Yang Zhi
Student: Yang Rui
Auditor: Warmth
Father Yang took a handful of straw and said as he was making it: "This is making a chicken coop. The beginning is very important. Put this straw in the middle, twist the head and start. This circle of straw is divided into four strands. Add one straw to each other and twist it. Add a piece of straw... This is another moment... After twisting, add another piece of grass... Add more, twist again... Use this to penetrate..."
Nuan Nuan looked very interesting, so he followed the steps of a few people and picked up some straw to follow.
By the time student Yang Rui was able to make a tight and beautiful chicken coop, Wen Nuan had only knitted half of it into a loose and loose chicken coop with air leakage everywhere.
Sure enough, once you see it, you will know it, but once you do it, it will fail.
Wen Nuan has no ambition to be competitive, just let it go! It only takes one person in the family to learn it. She pretended not to notice the suppressed laughter of the people next to her.
Anyway, they wouldn't say to her face that she, the daughter-in-law (sister-in-law), was bad at weaving a chicken coop.
Father Yang looked at the strange thing in his daughter-in-law's hand and felt a bit toothache. He didn't know what to say, so he had to change the topic:
"That fourth child, we've made enough chicken coops. You put away these things and clean the house! I guess it's almost time. It's time for the goose to be ready!"
Nuan Nuan immediately agreed with her father-in-law's words with practical actions. She threw the leaky grass nest in her hand and motioned for Yang Rui to take it away.
The father and daughter-in-law gave orders, Yang Rui must obey them!
Put the finished straw nest and the wife's "four different things" into the warehouse, sweep the remaining straw directly to the kitchen, and save it for the next time to light the fire.
Yang Rui went to serve the food, and Wen Nuan brought a thermos from the house and said, "Dad, brothers, there is hot water here, wash your hands, and we will start dinner!"
Yang Zhe looked at what Wen Nuan was carrying and asked, "Brothers and sisters, is this the thermos pot? I heard people said that the water can be left there for a whole day without getting cold! But it works!"
"Well, it's a thermos. It's more convenient to drink some hot water!" Wen Nuan didn't say much.
But Yang Zhe was filled with envy and hatred in his heart, and he didn't stop talking: "Oh, my brother is living a very comfortable life these days. He eats goose whenever he wants. If he wants to drink some hot water, there are always people at home. some!
Brothers and sisters, how much does this thermos cost? Brothers and sisters, can you bring one back to us? "
Yang's father was helpless. His eldest son was too short-sighted, and he kept yelling at his younger siblings.
Wen Nuan shook his head: "Brother, it's not that I didn't bring it to you! Some time ago, our supply and marketing cooperative came to a batch of thermos pots, and I brought them back. This is a defective product, so there is no need to vote! Other thermos pots require industrial coupons. ! Haven’t you seen that my family didn’t even buy an enamel basin? Now they use wooden basins too!”
The Nuan family really didn't buy an enamel basin. It wasn't because she didn't have the money to buy it, but mainly because she felt that a wooden basin would work just fine, and her life was too high-profile, so it was useless.
Yang Zhe looked at the wooden basin used by Nuannuan to wash his hands, and because Yang's father had just hit him with his elbow, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
When you come to someone else's house, you naturally do as you please.
Several elders patted the straw and soil on their bodies, washed their hands with hot water, and then entered the house to set the table and prepare to eat.
There were many people dining this time, and the small kang table at home could not accommodate so many people, so a large round table was set up.
