Chapter 41 Building a House
Chapter 41 Building a House
But by coincidence, Nagu was carrying the prey he had just brought back, and met Heli who had also come back from hunting on the way.Both of them were going in the same direction, and Nagu remembered that Heli and the others had moved here, and suddenly didn't want to talk.
"Why do you have a stinky face?" The former patriarch was not afraid of Nagu's stern face, wondering if he was not satisfied last night.
"Where is Bai?" The daughter-in-law is still sleeping, but Bai is not with Heli, and Nagu is afraid that he will be woken up.
Probably thinking of some headache, Harry frowned, "He's still sleeping."
Last night, Bai Quao ate all the nectar, slept until midnight and started complaining of toothache, rinsed his mouth with salt water several times, and tossed and tossed for most of the night before falling asleep.
Sure enough, you shouldn't let him do everything, you must be ruthless next time!The patriarch secretly made up his mind.
Nagu was relieved when he heard that Bai was still sleeping.
"Why did you take Xu Fei to the Dahe Tribe?" As far as he knew, Nagu probably didn't know anyone from the Dahe Tribe.He had met the patriarch of the Dahe Tribe a few times, and he was a vigorous and decisive person.He is a ruthless character who leads his clansmen to sit beside the big river surrounded by abundant water and vegetation.
"The last time I went to change the salt, I met a few people from the Dahe Tribe on the way and invited me and Xu Fei." Nagu concentrated on washing the prey in his hands.
So, why do you meet a few people from the River Tribe and they invite you to visit the tribe?Is there some process missing in the middle?Harry was speechless.
"By the way," Nagu forgot to tell Heli about the python before, and now they were handling the prey by the stream, and Nagu told Heli about the matter again.
There must be a reason for things to happen, but I don't know what happened in the depths of the rainforest, or these big pythons got tired of staying inside and wanted to come out to breathe.
Heli is no longer the patriarch, and it is not up to him to make decisions about anything. He can only hope that if there is any change, the priest will find out sooner.
"Not to mention the distance, are you planning to live in the cave all the time?" Heli recently moved here, and before he started building a house, Bai chose the cave above Nagu and clamored to live in it.
The cave is too high, it's inconvenient to live in it, and it's cold in the cave, so it's okay to live in summer, but it's very likely that your bones will be damaged by freezing in winter.Bai is also a squeamish person who likes to cry, so the picture is fresh at the moment, but it's not good when it's cold.
As soon as Heli reminded him, Nagu also remembered that in winter, he had indeed planned to build a house when summer came.It's just that the wooden door was installed later and an earth kang was made. When summer came, he forgot about it again.
This time Hurley reminded him that he also started to think about it.It's just that building a house is a big deal, and you have to discuss it with your wife.
When Nagu and Heli went back, they saw Xu Fei pouring vegetables underneath.The bright green purslane, the bright red pepper, and the bustling ginger flowers blooming beside him made Xu Fei feel very good in the morning.
The lentils that were sprinkled casually in early summer also grew, and a few clusters of tender sprouts will grow up in a short time.It's just that lentils need a shelf before they are willing to grow.
When Xu Fei saw that Nagu was back, he asked him to cut some branches and cut one end of the branches to a point. They formed a group of three and tied them with vines to make a tripod. The lentil sprouts will have a place to climb when they grow up.
Look, both are females, one is still sleeping at home, Hurley has a subtle psychological imbalance.Out of sight, he resigned himself to his fate and carried the food back to his home, hoping that the little ancestor could wake up now, otherwise he would have to stay awake at night.
"Building a house?" Xu Fei paused his cooking hand, not because he was unhappy, but because he didn't expect it.After all, building a house is a big deal for them.Nagu hadn't spoken at all before, but Xu Fei was naturally taken aback by what he said suddenly.
"Well, living in a cave is not good for your health." Especially when Xu Fei is going to have a baby, he can't live in a cave.
"That's true." It was cold in the cave, but Xu Fei was greedy for the coolness, and it was hot now, so he was a bit reluctant to move.
"During the dog days, we can still move here for two or three months." Nagu knew that Xu Fei was afraid of the heat, and besides, building a house was not a matter of lip service, and it would not be done in a while.
"Well, let's build it." Xu Fei thought that living in a house would be more comfortable, and he could add some windows, and the air permeability would be better than that of a cave.
Without delaying the work at hand, Xu Fei made a plate of spicy fried pork slices in a few words.The last time he made snake meat in the Dahe Tribe, he could see that Nagu wanted to eat spicy food, but later all the chili peppers were given to Baduo, so he couldn't eat it.
Now that chili is ready-made, it is natural for the big man to eat enough.Another vegetable broth, also simmered in an earthen pot, not only put the torn mushrooms, but also the purslane planted at the bottom.It's been a long time since I ate purslane, Xu Fei was still thinking about it.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is no rice, otherwise it would be more exciting to eat with rice.
As soon as Nagu ate, he thought of Bai who lived above, and his speed also accelerated a lot.
Seeing that Nagu was eating hard, Xu Fei was not afraid of the spicy food, so he thought that he was really hungry, so he put a bowl of soup for him to hang aside, and then he ate slowly.
Although Xu Fei only made two dishes, the portions are full, so after eating two dishes, people are full.
Eat and drink enough, it's time to think about business.
Xu Fei had seen the houses here, most of them were rough in workmanship, but they basically had the prototype of a house.The best of these houses is Dahe Tribe, which not only has a separate kitchen, but also has two small rooms inside, and the layout is more reasonable.
Since it is my own house, it is natural not to be sloppy.
"How are you going to build it? How big is it?" Xu Fei asked Nagu.
"Listen to you." The main thing is that the daughter-in-law lives comfortably, and he can live anywhere.
"Then do as I say." Xu Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Nagu listen to him. Although he had never built a house, he knew the general structure.
Na Gu Zhi nodded over there, everything is up to his wife, and he can do his best.
Xu Fei took a branch and began to draw a frame on the ground.With limited manpower, he didn't want to build a two-story villa, but a one-story bungalow.
The foundation of the house is the most important thing, the foundation is stable, the house can live for a long time.So the foundation has to be dug deep and buried with stones.The walls are covered with stones mixed with mud, and the roof is framed with wood, and then some large non-perishable leaves are found to be stacked on top of each other layer by layer. In rainy days, I worry about water leakage.
Since there is only one floor, it is necessary to build a larger house and separate two rooms in it, in case guests come or something, and separate a bathroom for taking a bath.
Then, like the other side of the big river, build a separate house next to the main house for the kitchen, so that the oily smoke will not be smoked into the house.
When Xu Fei told his plan, Nagu was taken aback for a while, the daughter-in-law really has an idea!
"What do you think?" Xu Fei also knew that he had a lot of ideas, but he didn't know if it would be difficult to implement.
"Hmm." Nagu's excited words were all turned into a hmm.
"What does that mean?" Xu Fei asked him with a smile.
Seeing Xu Fei's attractive smile, Nagu couldn't help kissing him violently until Xu Fei's breathing became unsteady and he didn't want to laugh anymore for a short time, so he whispered something in his ear: "Well, it's just very cute." good."
Xu Fei suddenly remembered that the dirty clothes from last night hadn't been washed yet, um, let's do the laundry.He wiped his mouth, and with a pounding heart, he pushed Nagu away and was about to wash his clothes.
Nagu looked at the daughter-in-law who left inexplicably, could the daughter-in-law also be shy?Thinking of this possibility, he smirked to himself for a while.
Since Hurley asked him about building a house, it is estimated that the future neighbors have made a decision.The daughter-in-law agreed to build the house, so it was time to discuss with Harry when the construction would start.With the two families, there is also a helper.
Looking at the cave above the head without even a door, it really is a temporary residence.Nagu jumped up lightly.
As soon as he entered, he saw a scene that was not suitable for children. Bai was lying on the patriarch's body, kissing happily.
It was Heri who found Nagu coming and ripped Bai off his body.
He coughed unnaturally: "Why did you come up?"
Seeing other people making out, Na Gucha felt a little unnatural. He turned his head to the outside of the cave, "I'm looking for you to discuss building a house."
"Oh."
Then there was a long silence.
It was Bai who broke the weird atmosphere, "Hey, Harry, did you just find out that I have holes in my teeth?"
Bai slept in a daze before, dreaming that his big white tooth was bitten by a bug with a big hole, it hurt and itched, and when he woke up, he insisted that the tooth was broken, and opened his mouth to force Heli to show him.The light in this cave is not good, and his teeth are so small, who can see clearly!
Then Hurley was forced to play hooligans by being kissed, and his tongue was wrapped around him in vain to let him go in for inspection.While checking, Nagu came.Hurley feels that being a door has become a very important thing!
"There is no hole," Heri said expressionlessly, and then said to Nagu who was facing outwards and forced himself to look at the scenery: "Let's go out and talk."
Nagu nodded, it was a mistake to come up.
"Don't go," Bai said pitifully, grabbing the patriarch's arm, "If you don't carry me down, how will I cook?"
"Hug and hug." Heli reluctantly sent his baby down first, and then talked with Nagu in detail.
As soon as Bai went there, he saw Xu Fei coming back from the laundry.He ran over bumpily, and smiled flatteringly at Xu Fei: "Xu Fei, I'll help you dry it."
Before Xu Fei could react, Bai took over the work in his hands.The animal skin was soaked in water, and he picked it up and pressed his wrist heavily.Bai Li was strong and not too heavy. With both hands, he wrung out the water and put it on a short branch.Xu Fei touched the animal skin he twisted, as if he had been in a dryer.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Xu Fei looked at him anxiously after Bai finished his work, and asked.
"Well," Bai nodded, and added: "I can make it myself, I just want a few peppers."
"Well, you can take it off." Xu Fei was impressed that he was so obedient today and wanted to cook by himself.
He is greedy for nothing, but his cooking skills are also good. After following Xu Fei to watch it twice, the dishes are also well prepared.The first time he cooked for Heli, he surprised the former patriarch.But Bai proudly expressed that as long as he wants to learn, there is nothing he cannot learn.
They cook just outside the cave, and they have been cooking for nothing these days, so Heli's complexion looks good.
The patriarch looked at his children obediently cooking there, and sighed, if only he was always so sensible.
Nagu and Heli were discussing about building a house, while Xu Fei was watching Bai cook, and the scene was extremely harmonious for a while.
Nagu thought that Xu Fei was very familiar with this area, and he was reluctant to leave the cave, so he simply opened up an open space near here.
Heli listened to Nagu's conception of the house, and his eyes lit up. Such a house sounds good. Unexpectedly, Xu Fei even knew how to build a house.
The two discussed it properly and decided to do it the next day.In two or three months, it will be dog days. At that time, the sun is so fierce that it is not easy to go out. It is better to build the house as soon as possible now, and let it stand in the dog days for a few months to make the house stronger.
The two families work together, Xu Fei is in charge of cooking, Nagu and Heli take turns to go out hunting, as for Bai, he can suddenly become the main force in building the house, moving around hundreds of catties of big stones casually, Put both males to shame.
But he does a lot of work and eats a lot. Fortunately, this is a rainforest with abundant food. If he grew up in the Salt Mountain, no one would be able to feed him.
The two families worked together for more than two months, and finally completed the houses of each family.
Xu Fei built a small yard for his family alone, and planted three or four fruit trees and some beautiful flowers and plants in it.The vegetable garden is still outside, and there is no fear of animals stealing it.
Following Xu Fei's example, Bai also built a big yard, but there were no flowers and plants in it, only fruit trees were planted in it.
The two houses are next to each other, and there is only a five-meter alley between them. It is very convenient to hear anything if you shout.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, but the little days of the two families are getting better and better.
