Chapter 094
Early in the morning, when Wen Xu was exercising, he happened to detour to Wen Shigui's sheep pen and was about to call the second brother to go to his house for breakfast. The two of them went to the town to see the animals together.
I brought the pillars to Wen Shigui next to the sheep pen at the foot of the mountain. The structure of the entire small house was almost out. It was said that the house was a bit high, and it was said that the shed was very suitable. There were no walls around it. Four columns with bowls were supported by several asbestos tiles. The surroundings were made of colorful strips of plastic woven cloth sealed with wooden strips, which was the windows, which looked like some old windows with wooden lattice and glass. I don’t know where to remove them. There were still red paint that had not faded around them.
The house people live in is not as good as the sheep pen next to it, and there is still a thick grass roof on the sheep pen.
"Second brother, it's difficult for your house to block the rain, right?" Wen Xu turned around and looked inside and out, saying to Wen Shigui, who was busy feeding the sheep.
Wen Shigui smiled at Wen Xu: "It's about to start summer, and don't underestimate this shed. Not to mention blocking the wind and rain, even if it's heavy snow, it may not necessarily bring down my small shed!"
Wen Xu had to smile and let it go. Seeing Wen Shigui catch a little lamb and touch it again and again, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with this lamb?"
"I felt a little diarrhea yesterday. I originally wanted to feed some medicine, but Mr. Yan didn't allow him to feed any Western medicine at all, so I asked the old shepherds from other villages for a folk remedy. I cooked water last night and fed it. It looked much better this morning!" Wen Shigui's expression on his face was not much worried. It seemed that the little lamb's diarrhea had improved fundamentally.
"Folk Remedy?" Wen Xu couldn't understand why the sheep on his side had diarrhea, while none of them had diarrhea after he had her sheep from the space.
Of course, Wen Xu has gone a few times and doesn’t care about her flock. Perhaps some sheep have diarrhea, but Wen Xu doesn’t know.
"Well! The little sheep will get a stomachache from time to time, and I don't know what happened. The big sheep doesn't have this situation. I asked the old sheep and told him the symptoms of the sheep. They couldn't tell what was going on. They just said it didn't look like a multiple disease..." Wen Shigui let go of the little lamb in his hand and said.
At this time, Yu Ersao came over, greeted Wen Xu and asked, "Shixu, come to your second brother to go to the town?"
"Yes, second sister-in-law, I'll ask second brother to go to my house for breakfast with you!" Wen Xu said.
After hearing this, Yu Ersao waved her hand and said, "Let your second brother go there, there are so many sheep here, and you can't leave!"
Wen Shigui smiled and said with a smile: "You'd better go back and eat by yourself. I'll go there after I'm busy here. I can't stand the effort you took to have a meal. If I watched you cook a meal, I would have to get a heart attack!"
Not to mention Wen Shigui, the entire Wenjia Village knows that Wen Xu is a picky person and needs to be cooked every meal carefully. Even a bowl of bar noodles porridge makes Wen Xu have too many tricks to make. For the villagers of Wenjia Village, spending a large part of their time thinking about how to eat it is obviously not what a serious farmer should do.
Everyone had a little bit of a bad opinion about Wen Xu, but because this guy is too senior and has the ability, everyone didn't say it in public.
After hearing the couple say this, Wen Xu didn't persuade me: "Second brother, you can go to my place about anything, let's try to go early and return early! Yesterday I called the brick factory in the town and asked them to send two cars to Liyu Bay!"
"What are you buying bricks? You are not going to build a house again, right?" Wen Shigui asked immediately.
Wen Xu smiled and said, "I didn't mess around, I just wanted to build an oven, the bigger one. If I wanted to, I could bake bread, old goose, duck, etc."
Yesterday, I told a group of kids that they wanted to bake bread for them. They were originally talking nonsense, but after the kids left, Wen Xu was a little greedy for the bread he had baked, so he thought about making a toast stove. Then he felt that it would be a waste to build a stove and just toast. So he just built a bigger stove. Sometimes when guests could bake some chicken, goose, etc., it took more than half an hour to design a brick wood fire oven.
Wen Shigui heard this and said, "Isn't this a fool? In order to eat something, you have to make a stove, and you have also pulled two trucks of bricks. How big does your stove have to be built to use two trucks of bricks?"
"It's too big, it's too small!" Wen Xu said with a smile, not caring about the second brother's words.
"Brother, sister-in-law, if you don't go, I'll go back first?" Wen Xu was ready to step on his legs and go home after he greeted him.
Wen Shigui immediately called Wen Xu again after hearing this: "Shixu, our brothers and others have discussed it over the past few days, thinking about repairing several ancestral tombs in a few days, and drawing the monument and adding the soil on the tomb. As for the old tomb, whether the current mound can be changed to lime cement and stone, even if it doesn't work, you have to use bricks to enclose it..."
Slowly, Wen Shigui said his brothers and others about his thoughts. Wen Xu did not have much objection to the grave repair, nor did he have much support. In Wen Xu's opinion, no matter how well the grave was repaired, he would have to pay for it. No matter how much money he paid for the grave, he would have to pay for it.
However, the brothers and the other guys are not easy to dismiss the idea of repairing the tombs. To outsiders, this matter is filial to their descendants. Everyone agrees with you but is dragging you down. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a fool can do it. Wen Xu is not stupid, and he is not short of this amount of money at hand.
"I have no objection. If everyone wants to do this, then just repair it!" Wen Xu said.
"It's not that simple. We calculated the cost before and after, and it would cost more than 60,000 yuan to make it, including artificial stone, cement and mortar, etc.," said Wen Shigui.
"How many gaps are there?" Wen Xu thought that his second brother wanted to pay some money. After all, there were not many wealthy families in the village. It was not a big deal for him to pay more than 60,000 yuan.
Wen Shigui waved his hand and joked: "It's not about money, it's everyone's ancestral grave, and it's not yours. You kid want to rush to express your feelings to your ancestors, but we are not happy!"
Everyone praised the eighteen tea trees and the tea produced by them, which made the elderly in the village think of the good of their ancestors from time to time during this period. They started to build their ancestral tombs. In the past, they always said that they were poor when they mentioned this matter. This year, everyone can talk too much about it.
"What's that?" Wen Xu couldn't guess now.
"Your friends, those people with the last name Xu!"
"This is it!" Wen Xu was even more confused. Didn't he say that he would build the ancestral tomb? What did Tixu Daxin and others do?
The next sentence Wen Shigui revealed his mystery: "They have all seen the world. Why don't you ask them to help us design it to make the ancestral tomb at home more fashionable? In the future, someone will come to visit our old tea tree, so that our ancestral tomb next to us will not look too shabby, right?"
Even if Wen Shigui has been the village chief for half his life, his knowledge is limited. When he saw the homestay designed by Xu Daxin, he suddenly felt shocking and felt that this house could not be built! So when he thought of renovating the ancestral tomb, he naturally thought of him. Unfortunately, he and Xu Daxin had no friendship and could only hope that Wen Xu could settle this matter.
It turns out that's the problem! Wen Xu understands it now.
"I said, second brother, let's not have Western style in the ancestral tombs. The ancestors may not be able to eat and eat, and the positions of the old tombs were from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, we saw that all foreigners were still barbarians. We gave the ancestors a whole barbarian tomb, do you think the ancestors are bad? "Wen Xu said nonsense.
When Wen Shigui heard this, he couldn't help but frown, and thought for a while before saying, "This is true!"
"Just use stones to build a round tomb. At most, when everyone has money to use a white marble railing for the ancestors, it will be enough to add a sacrificial platform. It's too fancy and trouble now," Wen Xu said.
"Okay, why don't we go to the grandfather of the Nation to learn from it?"
"You really dare to think about it!" Wen Xu was amused by his second brother's thoughts: "You go, I don't dare to go!".
Seeing Wen Xu lifting his foot and leaving, Wen Shigui said again: "There is another thing. The price of livestock today may be a little higher, five hundred more than the normal price, but livestock are good livestock. The big brown donkey with a stone eye was in the past. It was a good livestock that ran 1,000 a day and 800 a night. I am really very eye-catching."
Wen Xu heard Shi Huayan and took his feet back: "What Shi Huayan?"
When Wen Xu heard of brown donkeys, black donkeys and gray donkeys, he had never heard of a kind of donkey called Shihuayan.
Wen Shigui said: "Shihuayan is the eyes of the donkey. I can't understand it now, because I have never seen a donkey with Shihuayan before. However, Lao Gui is quite excited and said that this kind of donkey endurance is first-class and lasting among all mules and horses..."
To be honest, Wen Xu didn't believe it after hearing this. He ran a thousand times a day and eight hundred times a night, let alone a donkey, even a horse trained by modern animal husbandry cannot do this. The ability of a donkey to last so long is probably better than that of an ordinary donkey.
However, although I thought so in my heart, Wen Xu still nodded when she heard the second brother say it. Waiting for the second brother to finish speaking, Wen Xu's heart drew a very vivid image: a tall body, strong and powerful four legs, and at a glance, she could see that she had accumulated endless sense of power.
After chatting with Wen Shigui with Shihuayan Donkey, Wen Xu jogged back to his own courtyard and started making breakfast for himself. Today's breakfast was simpler, with lean eggs and lean meat porridge, and served with Hutan.
The so-called Hutan is a warm hometown dialect. Mix the flour and chopped green onion together and stir it into a paste. Then put oil in the pot and let the oil dip the surroundings evenly. Don’t expose the empty spots. Wait for the heat to be big enough. When the pot is hot enough, just scoop a spoonful of paste and put it in the pot to spread it. If you want it to be better, add eggs and leeks to spread it on the spread dough.
Although the local side dishes are very attractive, Wen Xu killed two pieces of rice and drank a large bowl of lean meat porridge from the stall.
After eating, Wen Xu washed the bowl and brushed the pot. He was about to leave the pot house. When he saw that the scum basin was already shining, he could see the shadow of a person. He had already run away before, but today this guy is still in the pot house. He stretched his head and looked at the black squirrel on the tree branch. He wanted to go out but didn't dare to show up, which made people laugh.
For scum, the black squirrel may be the big black devil!
"Demon King!" Wen Xu thought the name was good, so the black squirrel was named.
"Stop beating this guy, no matter how you say you are not a blessing in disguise, right?" Wen Xu shouted at the Dark King, then pointed to the scum who was huddling at the door.
"Squeak!Squeak!"
The Dark King was dancing on the tree branch, waving the shelled pine nuts in his hand.
"Forget it, let it go!" Wen Xu couldn't understand whether the Dark King agreed or opposed it, so he decided to let it go as they did, and just don't disturb him!
