Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 410 Continue to quibble

Chapter 410 Continue to quibble

Snow, in these years, is a cruel test for the children in the Great Wilderness, but also a joy.

The cold was hard to bear, but snowball fights, skiing, and letting the dog romp through the snow on the little sledge my father made were also rare pleasures.

There is really nothing to play, find a piece of wood and put it under the buttocks, or just sit in it with a shovel, and you can slide down the snow slope, which is a lot of fun.

People in the Great Wilderness have been dealing with snow since they were very young.

Many people have good skiing skills from an early age.

"Qingzi, are you good at skiing?" Lu Lu asked casually as he followed Chen Xiuqing to Xiushantun on Zhuifeng.

Chen Xiuqing said with a smile: "Brother Lu, I didn't blow it up. No one in this village can compare to me in skiing!"

Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Lu couldn't help being suspicious: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. When I was young, there were two wooden horses at home. They were left by my father when he hunted deer in the snow. When my father was still alive, he taught me how to ski. Then my father died. The two pairs of skis are also rotten, and I have never been able to get wild boar skin. I even used a knife to cut the boards to make do with them, but what's the use of being able to ski, I still can't do anything!"

When Chen Xiuqing talked about this, he was a little frustrated.

"Our dad still has the skill of chasing deer on skis?" Lu Lu had never heard of this in his previous life.

To be able to chase deer on skis, the skiing skills are absolutely top-notch, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach this level.

"Of course, when my dad was in the production team, he was the leader of the hunting team in winter. He was the one who led the production team to hunt meat and fur to earn work points. When I was young, my family never had a shortage of meat. , Life at that time was the best in the village, even the captain’s family couldn’t match it, but once my father is gone, life will plummet, alas!”

Chen Xiuqing shook her head and sighed: "If he is still alive now, he must be able to make a lot of money like you. Unfortunately, I was too young to learn anything about hunting at that time."

"Whenever, let's go to his grave!"

For Lu Lu, who has never met his father-in-law and didn't even leave a photo, he probably can only look for the shadow of him in Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu's brothers and sisters.

The two brothers and sisters were deeply influenced by him in many aspects in terms of words, deeds and behavior, even though they were still very young at that time, it was still the case.

The two of them have completely different temperaments from Ma Jinlan, which cannot be taught by her.

When the siblings talk, they always like to say "my dad taught me", which is enough to show that he should be a capable and affectionate person!

Lu Lu thought for a while and said, "How about tomorrow?"

"Okay! You and my sister have been married for so long, you should go and have a look. I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

"Then it's settled! Let's cook at home and wait, and, since you are so skilled, when it snows, teach me to ski!"

"it is good!"

It was rare for an ability to be praised in front of Lu Lu. Chen Xiuqing seemed very happy, and she agreed wholeheartedly.

The two drove the car one behind the other, and went directly to Zuo Songling's house.

Before dark, Zuo Songling was still in the yard planing walnut and catalpa boards for furniture.

Compared with Chen Xiuqing, who hadn't built a house yet, Zhao Yongke's family obviously needed it more, so the two had a discussion and let Zhao Yongke's house be built first.

Seeing the two of them outside the yard, Zuo Songling put down the tools at hand and hurried over to open the door: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it!" Lu Lu asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I just ate, I see there is still time, so I came here to work for a while, thinking about finishing the furniture of the man earlier, so that they can take it back and use it earlier. Without furniture, it will always be very inconvenient." Zuo Songling glanced at it. Glancing at Chen Xiuqing's carriage, he asked, "Why are you bringing a piece of oak wood here?"

Before and after the meal, when we meet, we will habitually ask if we have eaten, which is probably the most commonly used way of greeting these days.

In the early years, they all lived through hard times, and they all had the experience of not having enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes. Food is the most important thing for the people. This simple greeting is full of the simplest and most heart-warming greetings.

"I wanted to make two pairs of wooden horses. I lacked tools and it was difficult to do so. So I cut a piece of oak wood and came back. I would like to ask you to help process it." Lu Lu explained the purpose of coming.

"This is living wood. It will take some time to dry, otherwise it will be easily deformed and not strong."

Zuo Songling said, and glanced at the pile of wood in his yard: "I also have a few pieces of oak wood here. They were cut to repair the barn and the rest have been placed for some days. The dry ones, look at them." Ok!"

Of course, Lu Lu knew what Zuo Songling said. In fact, he came here mainly to saw out the wooden boards for wooden horses, enlarge the size a little, and then take them back to dry. The thin wooden boards can dry faster, and then process them by themselves. .

Since Zuo Songling also has it here, and he still does it, that would be great.

Lu Lv and Chen Xiuqing followed and looked over, and found that the oak logs were really good and of sufficient length, so they immediately selected them.

"Waiting to use it?" Zuo Songling couldn't help asking when he saw that the two were impatient.

"Of course, the sooner the better. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and it's going to snow soon, I want to make it as soon as possible and practice."

Of course Lu Lu is impatient, waiting to pick up the experience of his previous life, this winter he needs to train and improve, and use it in hunting, it's about making money.

"What size do you want?" Zuo Songling asked again.

"I'm going to make two pairs. One is two meters long and the other is one meter long. It's [-] centimeters wide and four centimeters thick!" Lu Lu said the size.

There are two types of wooden horses for hunting. One is long wooden horses. Long wooden horses are fast and suitable for walking on flat or shallow soft snow.The short wooden horse is more flexible and suitable for walking on mountains and among forests, and in deep and hard snow.

To catch mink in winter, Lu Lu must go to the snow-capped mountains. This winter is mainly used for walking in the mountains and forests, focusing on short wooden horses. As for long wooden horses, they are used for chasing deer in the snow. I want to use them for hunting, especially in the forest. , the required skiing skills are quite high, and it is not so easy to master in a short period of time.

However, prepare a pair first, practice it early, and you will be able to use it later.

"I'll make a pair too, just make the long ones!"

Chen Xiuqing seems confident in her skiing skills.

"While you are all here, start sawing the wood now!" Zuo Songling didn't hesitate.

Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing glanced at each other, and started to work one after another. The two selected straight logs and moved them out, and peeled the bark. Zuo Songling, an experienced carpenter, quickly played the thread with an ink fountain and set up the saw board. For the wooden frame, the three of them took turns, and spent more than half an hour sawing off the required planks according to the required thickness. Each of them held a plane, but it didn't take long to smooth the planks.

"The front and back of the wooden horse are so bent that you go back and boil it in water to soften it and make it yourself, and you have to sew on the wild boar skin!" Zuo Songling has never used it and has seen it before.

"We'll take this back and deal with it ourselves!" Lu Lu nodded.

Wild boar skin, Lu Lu had already kept some of them, and many of them were hung out for the paparazzi to practice biting.

I have to go to Zhao Yongke and ask them to help me make a foot cover out of deerskin to tie the wooden horse to the feet. When sewing pigskin on the bottom, I have to use tanned tendons. They also have them. After Lu Lu prepared the wooden planks and wild boar skin, he planned to go directly to ask their family for help, so as to save trouble.

After getting the things, it was already dark, and the two of them said goodbye to Zuo Songling and went home without further delay.

In the evening, Lu Lu told Chen Xiuyu about going to pay homage to his father-in-law. The two of them woke up the next day and prepared breakfast early. Chen Xiuqing also came quickly. To Lu Lu's surprise, they came together Yes, and Ma Jinlan.

It can be considered that the staff is ready, and with the paper money, Chen Xiuqing leads the way to the mountains.

There are no ancestral graves in the Hengde Mountain. Chen Xiuyu's father went into the mountain and broke up in the mountain. He didn't find anything at all, he could only make a clothes tomb.

The location of the tomb is on a small hillside at the back of Xiushan Tun. It is a small lonely one. After many years, it has become a small mound of weeds.

Lu Lu cleared the surrounding weeds and shrubs with a sickle, covered the grave with straw, hung grave paper, burned paper money, led the family to worship, and poured water and rice.

Marrying Chen Xiuyu, this worship can be regarded as doing my part.

Ma Jinlan said a lot of words to bless Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu, especially those who wished that Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing would have no accidents in hunting and make more money by hunting more prey. Lu Lu knew that Ma Jinlan was actually hunting. I am still very worried, but now that my daughter is married, she has no ability to control her, so she can only ask for blessings, and there is a kind of helpless sadness.

After the matter was over, we went back to Lulu Caodianzi together, and the whole family had a decent meal.

Ma Jinlan went back to take care of her own corn to dry, while Chen Xiuqing stayed behind and made a wooden horse with Lu Lu.

In the stove of the kitchen, a large pot of water was boiled, and while the wooden boards were being boiled, Lu Lu laid a few stakes on the grass outside the courtyard to bend and fix the wooden boards.

The front end of the wooden horse is made pointed, so that it can better separate the snow in the snow and facilitate walking, rather than inserting it into the snow to make it difficult to walk.

The rear end also only needs to be slightly warped, not sharpened, just so that it does not plunge into the snow when it occasionally retreats.

The two of them worked for a long time, and after a lot of effort, they finally managed to get the two ends of the Trojan Horse out.

While he was resting, Meng Zhaohuala's coal arrived.

At such a time, Chen Xiuqing was immediately arrested by Lu Lv, who ordered them to clear out a space outside the courtyard to store the coal, and the charcoal was put in the shed for storage.

The coal was supposed to be brought in yesterday, but Meng Zhaohua had to postpone it by one day when it came to the delivery of public rations.

It was also fortunate that he didn't come, otherwise, there would be a great possibility of rounding up Gao Shouquan and those gangsters.

"I only spent 130 five yuan to buy coal and charcoal, and this is the remaining 65 yuan!"

After Meng Zhaohua helped get the coal out of the car and piled it into a big pile for collection, he returned the remaining money to Lu Lu.

Lu Lu drew four Great Unity cards: "The remaining 25 is gas money and your wages!"

"Brother Lu, how can I collect your money? You have helped us so many times, and we can't help you with anything else!"

How could Meng Zhaohua be willing to take the money, he remembered Lu Lu's affection for making him lynx tail and tiger gallbladder.

"There are many places where you can ask for help in the future. Every time you are asked to post gas money and wages, you will not be able to bear it. Listen to me and keep the money, so I can ask you for help in the future!" Lu Lu said with a smile. .

Meng Zhaohua hesitated for a while, then reluctantly accepted the money: "Thank you Brother Lu!"

"It's been a busy day, haven't you eaten yet?"

Lu Lu looked at Meng Zhaohua who was smeared with soot, and asked with a smile as if he heard his stomach rumbling just now.

"Not yet... no, I ate it!" Meng Zhaohua responded subconsciously, and quickly changed his words.

Lu Lu glared at him, and said angrily: "If you haven't eaten, you haven't eaten. When I come here, I can still make you hungry. I can hear your stomach growling. Wait, there is still lunch for lunch." For the rest, just eat some bar mats at my place!"

Without waiting for Meng Zhaohua's refusal, Lu Lu first said to Chen Xiuyu who was stirring the corn to dry, "Daughter-in-law, go warm up some food for Hua Zi, Hua Zi is still hungry."

"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu responded, put aside what she was doing, and went back to the kitchen to get busy

When Meng Zhaohua was invited into the house for dinner, Lu Lv built a fire next to the cellar and disposed of the two ash sticks used to make ski poles.

Seeing this, Chen Xiuqing found an ax and drilled into the mountain. It didn't take long before he also chopped down two straight ash sticks.

"You boy, you are very good at seeing opportunities!"

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing who was putting the Fraxinus mandshurica sticks on the fire, and suddenly felt that this guy with a silly smile on his face was somewhat ghostly.

Chen Xiuqing scratched her head: "Brother Lu, why don't you help me to sew up the pigskin for the skis!"

Lu Lu raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiuqing, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger, this... well calculated!

"Qingzi, haven't you dreamed of swallows these days?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.

"I've dreamed about it four times!" Chen Xiuqing said with a blushing face.

Hearing these words, the corners of Lu Lu's mouth couldn't help twitching: "Look at you blushing, you must have done nothing good in your dream! Can you stand it?"

"It's not that!"

"You continue to quibble!"
