Chapter 188 Provocation
Let’s put the matter of building a house at home aside for now.
There are still many clams waiting in the river in the mountains.
Before that, Xu Wenyan went to cut down two bamboos from his home this year. He had to make the chair he had been dreaming of today.
There was nothing to do in the morning, so Chen Sanlin took Xiaoman, Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoliu to transport yellow mud and sand.
There will be a lot of things we will need later. Our family is very poor now, so it is better to be self-reliant in everything. Just do what you can by yourself.
Bamboo is easy to shape. Smoke the front end of the bamboo with fire, then apply slight force to bend it, and then use a carving knife to reserve holes on it.
Then use the front wood to splice the two burned bent bamboos together, and the bottom of the rocking chair is ready.
As for the chair body, there is nothing much to say. Just reserve holes in the same way, and then use a bamboo nail to insert it into the reserved holes to fix it, and a rocking chair is ready.
Because the chair body part also needs to be woven into a mat similar to a cool mat, these can be woven slowly at night.
By the time Chen Sanlin and his team finished hauling sand, Wang Dongmei and Chen Xingjie had already moved back to their previous house, so Rong Xiaoliu stayed in the yard to look after the three children.
Although having three children is worry-free, this is a special period after all, and someone has to look after them.
Several adults carried backpacks and cloth bags and went up the mountain, while a few children played in the yard.
"Rongrong, Xiaohua, please look after my brother. I will carry this to Doctor Zhao." Behind Rong Xiaoliu was carrying a whole basket of palm tree buds that Xu Wenyan had asked Chen Sanlin to bring.
"Well! Brother, come back soon." After saying goodbye to him, Rongrong played the game of pretending to be a teacher in the yard.
Rongrong held a wooden board and stood on the window, while Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong moved small stools and sat below. This was how Xu Wenyan had taught them before.
"Today we are learning a phrase called 'overestimating one's own capabilities'." Rongrong picked up the coal and wrote a few words on the small wooden board, stroke by stroke, although the word "量" was written incorrectly.
"Which kid knows the meaning of this word?" Rongrong learned it very well, holding a small stick in his hand and pointing at the words on the wooden board.
Chen Xiaohua raised her hand: "Rongrong, I know."
"No, Xiaohua, you have to call me Master now." Rongrong corrected quickly.
"Yes, Master, I know."
The three little ones were having so much fun that they didn't notice that a few kids passing by the door were watching them.
"Brother Danniu, is this the house my uncle is talking about?" Lu Genzhu looked inside. His uncle was Lu Dagang. Although the house his uncle was talking about was a gray and white house, didn't it mean that only adults lived there?
The adults usually go out during the day for something, which is why the children throw smelly mud into their houses.
There are three more children in the yard now, writing and drawing on a wooden board. I don’t know what they are doing.
The oldest Lu Daniu reached into the bamboo basket and grabbed a handful of mud: "How can my father lie to me? I'll just smash it."
Under the leadership of Lu Daniu, four children plus a girl threw mud into the yard together. These children were naturally from the Lu family.
As the mud was slapped against the wall, it made a continuous "bang, bang, bang" sound, and even the already tattered window paper was further damaged.
"What are you doing? Why are you throwing mud into my house?" Rongrong was originally facing five people, and this time he was looking at them face to face.
"Your family, it's your family that's being smashed, you poor bastard who's been eating wild vegetables all his life." As he said that, Lu Daniu threw a ball of mud at Chen Dong's back. Chen Dong stood up, feeling sorry for the clothes that he had just washed.
Rongrong and Chen Xiaohua looked at each other and temporarily suppressed their anger. The other side had more people and they didn't know if they could win if they fought. The best way now was to wait for Rong Xiaoliu to come back.
Seeing that they remained silent, Lu Daniu became even more presumptuous and began to deliberately hit several people: "You are like trash, and your father is also a trash. You are humiliated and dare not even fart. Hahahaha."
Lu Daniu laughed wildly, and the other children followed suit and laughed.
Chen Xiaohua also understood. They didn't know the relationship between themselves and their uncle and thought that their uncle was their father.
"Rongrong, they are scolding uncle."
Rongrong couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up the small sticks in his hands and walked towards the five people.
Lu Daniu is eight years old this year, two years older than Rongrong and Chen Xiaohua. Because girls develop earlier, the three of them are almost the same height.
But Lv Erniu and Lv Sanniu are twins, also six years old. Lv Genzhu is seven years old this year, and the youngest is Lv Chunya, who is about the same age as Chen Dong.
"Can you say that again?"
Lu Daniu laughed disdainfully: "I can say it again, your father is just a waste..."
Before he could utter the second word, a thin stick hit Lu Daniu's hand.
Looking at the red marks on his arm, Lu Daniu looked at Rongrong in disbelief. This little bitch actually dared to hit him!
I was absolutely furious.
The atmosphere became extremely tense and the two sides were almost on the verge of a war.
