Yan Laoer pointed over there and said, "Look, that's the raft we made, isn't it good?"
Li Xuemei looked intently: "What is that above, a bamboo bed?"
"That's right! There are two bamboo beds. There are holes in the raft that can just catch the bed legs. What you see now is that the two bamboo beds are separated with a narrow path in the middle, which makes it easy to walk back and forth. They can also be put together together.
Every hole has been left."
Yan Laoer took her to see it.
Li Xuemei looked at it carefully: "This one needs to be rowed with a pole, right?"
"No, Hu Er is cutting it for me." Yan Laoer chuckled.
"And me, Uncle Hu made it for me first." Yan Yu took out his pole and offered it as a treasure.
In fact, it was the stick she often carried, with some modifications and sharpening on one end.
Her stick is longer than the one held by the children, and the river is shallow, so there should be no problem in this section of the river.
As for other places where the water is deeper, you have to use the old support pole, the one Uncle Hu was cutting for her father.
Li Xuemei has always been cautious: "It's best to have two extra ones. If you accidentally drop them, you can have a replacement."
Yan Laoer nodded hurriedly: "My wife is right, I will ask Hu Er to make two more for me later." Anyway, the wood is ready-made.
The length of the support pole is not suitable for ordinary wood. Only the fir wood used for the upper beam is long, straight and strong enough, so it is suitable for use.
"Dad, if you are going to get on the raft later, you must act more relaxed and don't show any signs of difficulty." Yan Yu thought of something and specifically warned him.
"Why?" Yan Laoer didn't know what was going on.
"Think about it, if you can't support the raft, can the people in our village trust you to go out alone? No one is allowed to follow you. It will be very inconvenient."
Yan Laoer understood it instantly.
Isn't it just inconvenient? The Three Treasures are still in the water. If there are outsiders, they will have to be soaked in the water all the time. It is bionic leather and it will be damaged by soaking...
"Indeed, I have to pretend to be nice." Yan Laoer said.
He became serious and carefully observed the flow of water, looking at the river bed through the clear water.
When the ferry was completed and the support poles were completed, Yan Laoer, the man who was about to board the raft, attracted much attention.
Everyone's eyes followed him.
Yan Laoer looks as calm as a dog on the outside, but he is panicking on the inside.
Stepping onto the raft, my body floated with the waves, giving me an unreal feeling.
Untie the rope.
Point the pole in your hand on the wooden stake and push it hard.
The raft moved slowly a little.
Yan Laoer:......
He had just exerted his strength, but it was so disrespectful to move so slightly!
Pretending to be calm, he lifted the pole and re-entered the water. When he felt it hit the river bed, he exerted force again.
The raft began to move, became faster, and floated steadily away in the direction of the river.
People watching the excitement by the river cheered.
It seemed like he was so successful.
Yan Laoer was even more panicked. He seemed to have rowed in the wrong direction. His original intention was to row to the other side and then come back, going back and forth to complete the first launch of the raft.
But the reality... is too bad.
He couldn't let the raft float any further, and he didn't have the confidence to get it back without looking embarrassed.
He thought for a while, took turns sitting on the two bamboo beds, then suddenly stood up and quickly paddled back.
Yan Yu was an extremely good daughter. She always paid attention to her father's movements. When she saw him turning around, she ran over and stretched out her little hands to reach the rope on the raft.
Qi Wu stood closer, subconsciously grabbed the rope and pulled the raft back.
"This wooden bed is not good enough. It needs to be higher. Look at my clothes, they are all stained with water. We have to transport food. It's too short. It needs to be higher." Yan Laoer said seriously.
Qi Wu nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll give them longer legs."
The original height was pretty much the same, but the bed legs are now stuck in the holes. In order to secure them better, the holes were dug a little deeper, thus sacrificing height.
Although Yan Laoer's trial was short, he found the problem and was considered successful.
It was getting late, and seeing that there was not much to do, everyone walked home one after another.
Along the way, we were still discussing rafting, crossing the river, and buying food...
The bustle and excitement dispersed the coldness of the cool night.
Qi Wu insisted on finishing the changes before leaving. Fortunately, this was a small job and a few people were waiting for him.
The modified raft was tied tightly to the wooden stakes. Qi Da was worried and had to wrap around three wooden stakes before letting go of the poor rope.
Yan Yu had been hungry for a long time and ran home quickly.
Leave her parents behind and stroll slowly.
When they got home, Grandma Rong brought the hot pot.
Yan Yu took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly took a sip from a spoon.
The slightly spicy taste is just right for their whole family.
The cut lamb is uniformly thin and thick, with alternating fat and thin, and is stacked neatly.
The fresh fish looks like it has just been fished out of the water. Grandma Rong changes the knife very quickly. The fish fillets are directly put into the pot, and the sound of them falling into the pot is so beautiful.
Yan Yu drooled uncontrollably.
"Big brother, big sister, it's time to eat!" She ran out and called people.
When Yan Xiangheng and Daya came over, Yan Laoer and Li Xuemei also entered the house.
Yan Laoer knew where to go just by smelling it.
Everyone was seated, and Grandma Rong motioned for them to start.
Yan Laoer did his best to be the first, and when he put down his chopsticks, the mutton and fish were all on the end of the chopsticks. He was really sharp-eyed and sharp-handed.
He put it in the bowl in front of Li Xuemei, and the couple looked at each other and smiled.
Yan Yu was fed a mouthful of dog food.
But she's used to it.
Feeding her until she vomits will not affect her ability to eat.
Start with various slices of meat, then eat some vegetables to neutralize it, and then dry the meat again...
When the heat of the pot came down, Grandma Rong brought it to the stove next to it, which was still boiling water. She added some very thin noodles, slurped them for a while, and brought them over again.
Yan Yu started to sneer.
There was soup all around her little mouth, so Da Ya smiled and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Erya rarely blushed.
Even if I have to eat, I have to be taken care of by Da Ya, and I have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into if I can barely bear it.
Grandma Rong took out another large bowl of steamed buns.
True - big basin.
Looking at this large basin that is obviously not owned by his family and has a very familiar style.
Yan Yu was vaguely enlightened.
Sure enough, Aunt Rong gestured towards the Qi family.
Everyone understood, and the Qi family steamed the steamed buns and sent them to them.
Mrs. Qi was very cruel as soon as she saw it. There was more white flour and less coarse flour, so the big steamed buns were very easy to handle.
Yan Yu fell into deep thought and decisively broke off half and then half again.
She only needs to eat a quarter of it, and the rest can be filled with meat.
The vinegar dish with chive flowers is very refreshing.
Every time Grandma Rong ordered the mutton, Yan Yu followed it with two chopsticks.
The fish fillet came and I had a few more bites.
She picks and chooses the green vegetable leaves and garnishes them occasionally.
Li Xuemei pulled Yan Laoer and motioned for him to look at her daughter.
