Looking at the "bed", I felt a little worried.

The foot of the bed is made of four cement bricks. A board about 1.5 meters long, 15 centimeters wide and 2 centimeters thick is placed vertically in the east-west direction. Five boards about 2 meters long and 20 centimeters wide are placed on the board in the north-south direction.

cm, a board about four centimeters thick. Leave a gap of about ten centimeters between the five boards.

This is my naked bed.

If you want to sleep peacefully, you have to spread some dry straw on it, then put on a blanket about one centimeter thick, then put a sheet on top of the blanket, put the pillow on it, add the quilt, and then you can sleep.

I have to seize the time to clean up the bus today, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well when it gets dark. Although time is a bit tight and the conditions are poor, I still have to find a way to make myself sleep as comfortable as possible. Sleep is very important. If you can’t sleep well,

If I don't sleep well, I will be very irritable.

In fact, I had already thought about what to do. So I simply picked up the books, put the clothes and quilt back into my bag, put them away, and went downstairs.

Since it was a holiday, the younger brothers did not have to go to school. They ate instant noodles. They simmered the beef head pot (a large pot about four to five millimeters thick and with a capacity of about 100-150 liters made of aluminum and antimony) on the stove, and mixed it with

I had some water ready to cook pig food. I walked into the kitchen and went to the toilet. When I came out, I took a machete.

Brother Jie saw me holding a machete and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what are you doing with the knife?" I said: "I'm going to chop some bamboo and make a cover for the bed later so that it won't fall off when it rains.

I'm in bed. You can help me find some wires (iron wires), nylon ropes and colored strips of cloth at home."

Xiaojie: "We don't have colored striped cloth at home, so we have to buy it on the street. We have film and oil paper left over from growing corn at home."

I said: "Okay. I'll cut the bamboo back first and then go buy it."

When I passed the courtyard gate, the black tiger ran out of its kennel again and shook its head, its eyes excited and happy. I called out: "Black Tiger." It jumped up happily. I opened the door and walked out.

When I came to the bamboo forest, I saw cages of bamboos growing very well. Being in the bamboo forest that blocks the sky and the sun, it seems like another quiet world. The fallen bamboo leaves are like a thick carpet, which you step on

The soft feeling is really comfortable. But I walked cautiously because I saw many empty needles (syringes) randomly discarded. In our place, both adults and children know the extreme dangers of empty needles and how to use them.

People with empty needles are not good people.

With a mixture of caution and fear, I chose a bamboo that was a bit yellow in color to cut down. The bright green color is young bamboo, which is not suitable. Only old bamboo that has turned yellow is suitable. Cut it down along the roots and pull the bamboo away with force.

Cage, then use a knife to cut off all the branches at the bamboo joints, and then go back.

Put the bamboo and knife on the courtyard dam, turn around and go out to buy colorful cloth.

When I came to the agricultural supplies store on the street, I saw all kinds of fertilizers, pesticides, films, and colorful strips of cloth. Since the crops in the fields were about to be harvested, it was the off-season for selling agricultural supplies. At first glance, it looked like a lazy store.

The woman was watching TV intently, as if she had no intention of paying attention to me.

"Boss, how do you sell colored striped cloth?" I asked.

"The average one is one yuan per meter, and the better ones are two yuan per meter."

Maybe the TV program is more exciting? When the boss lady replied to me, she didn’t take her eyes off the TV.

I don’t think I will use much, so the key is to buy it to protect it from dust and rain. It is an item that is used every day. The price is a bit expensive. I asked if it could be less for a better one.

The boss lady asked: "Are you buying a lot? If you buy more, you can buy less, but if you buy less, you can't buy less."

I said: "Just buy a six-meter one."

At this moment, the landlady suddenly burst into laughter. Then she turned around and said, "That can't be missed."

I said: "Okay".

Only then did she slowly come out with the scissors.

When he came out and saw it was me, he said, "Say, Yimu is back."

I replied: "Yeah".

When I saw the proprietress putting the scissors on the ground, I went to put the colorful strips of cloth on the ground. I was a little confused. Didn't she use a ruler to measure the things she sold? I could know exactly how many meters it was just by feeling.

When I was confused, she had put the colorful striped cloth roll and asked me to pull it open. I pulled it and stepped back. I saw her unfolding the colorful striped cloth on the ground with her left hand and holding down the colorful striped cloth roll with her right hand.

, chanting in his mouth: "One meter, two meters...".

It turns out that there is a one-meter scale mark on the cement floor. Just align the edge of the colored strips with the scale and mark two points. It is simple, convenient and practical.

Buy. Pay. Go home.

When I got home, I was not in a hurry to make it. After three years of study, I developed the habit of conceiving and designing before doing anything. Although I had an idea in my mind, to implement it accurately, I needed to measure some data. So I took out paper and pen,

I simply drew a design, then took a tape measure and went upstairs to measure.

Going upstairs is mainly to measure the size of the "bed" and the projection size between the roof strips. Because we must consider the fixed point of the cover, as well as lighting, and we must avoid the horizontal strips hanging corn in the middle. In addition, after the cover is fixed, it will be connected to the bed.

The distance between the house and the roof, these all need to be considered... After completing these basic tasks, I went downstairs.

The first step is to make the frame of the cover. It is a simple design of three long and four short, but I am afraid that it is not strong enough, so I add five long and four short, and by the count of nine, good luck. Mark the long ones, and use a knife to cut the bamboo joints and the edges of the cuts.

Just polish it smooth. The short ones take a little more effort. You need to bake them on the fire and make them into a certain arc. I have some experience in processing steel, but this is my first time with bamboo. It took a lot of effort to make four short arcs.

It's done. Although it's not perfectly consistent, it doesn't affect the whole thing. Because their errors will be digested when I finally assemble and fix them.

After the skeleton was ready, we started making the colorful striped cloth cover.

This is very simple. Fold the colored striped cloth in half and cut it into two pieces from the middle to become two pieces three meters wide. Then use a large needle and thick thread to sew the two pieces from the middle into one piece three meters long.

.

The next step is to make the film cover. This is a bit more troublesome, because it is relatively soft and difficult to sew, so it can only be bonded with transparent tape. Use a tape measure to draw puncture marks on the colored striped cloth cover and mark them correspondingly on the skeleton.

Mark the location.

I found nylon rope, nails, hammer, tie wire (thin wire), and pliers. My brothers helped me move this "large pile" of materials to the second floor. They acted as my assistants. After some methodical assembly, a
Chapter completed!
