Chapter Twelve Daddy's Good Brother
"Da Lang," "Brother, I heard you are back and living," "Brother, you are back, I miss you so much."
The next morning, before dinner was still there, Yang Heng's family was busy cutting trees, and there were a burst of shouts coming from afar.
"Ah, Erlang, Third Brother, Fifth Brother, Brother, why are you here?" The father said in surprise. "Why are we here? Didn't you hear your brother tell me? Last night, your brother said, "Brother, you are back, and you also need a hundred acres of forest here to clear the land. Can this work? You weren't cheating my uncle?" They asked my father with concern.
"Don't talk about this for now. I originally wanted to go back to see you in a few days after I calmed down. I didn't expect you to come first. Come on, come on, let me introduce you to you. Ying'er, Heng'er, come here," "Ah, brother, this is my sister-in-law and my nephew. My nephew is so old. It's obvious that you have been out in the past ten years, but how can you come back?"
"Come on, Ying'er, Heng'er, these are your second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, and younger uncle, Erlang, third brother, fifth brother, younger brother, these are your sister-in-law and nephew Yang Heng."
"Hello uncles," I gave the uncles a blessing, "Hello uncles," Yang Heng shouted directly. He really didn't know how to salute, but just hugged his hands and fists.
"Hello, sister-in-law, and hello, nephew." "Come on, uncles, come and sit in the yard, don't stand outside." My mother greeted the uncles happily. She came to this place and said something, and seeing that my father had a good relationship with them seemed, she finally called them into the yard.
"Brother, this is your newly built yard. It's so fast. It seems that you have had a lot of opportunities in the years when you go out? Brothers can't do these things. If you do so many things, you can't finish them in less than three or two months. It seems that we heard that you were here the afternoon before yesterday." The uncles were simply surprised, "If you don't know, you would have thought you have been back for more than a year!"
"Haha, it's not worth mentioning, brothers have eaten? If you don't eat, let your sister-in-law cook now, we won't have eaten either." Dad suggested.
"Eat, eat," it is obvious that these uncles are lying. They are obviously coming without eating, especially in terms of time. They make an appointment together and come here, and it will take more than an hour. If they eat, it will take three meals. If they can eat three meals, then their lives will be quite easy. "Okay, don't be polite. Even if you eat, eat more with us. If you don't eat, you won't give me face. Ying'er, you can cook now and stew all the pheasants we beat today." The father said without doubt.
This morning, Yang Heng discovered that the forest was really a treasure land. There were flocks of pheasants, and even hares were running around inside. Occasionally there were wild boars. Why didn't they notice yesterday? This was too much noise yesterday, and they drove the pheasants to the depths of the forest. After a quiet night, when the family of three got up at dawn, they found that there were many pheasants foraging in the gap in the distance, which just made the three people practice accurately. It was that simple, and a few colorful pheasants were left behind. For this reason, Yang Heng comforted that he would not have to worry about food in the future.
Yang Heng once asked his father, "Grandpa, there are so many wild animals here, why do you say that life is not easy?" "Silly boy, you see, we can hit pheasants so easily now. You know, your grandpa was not sure when he was young. I guess this is all skills learned by iron masturbation. Many of us could not catch a pheasant when we were chasing each other. What's the point? And the wild boar, let alone the physical strength of your uncle and others, do you see if they dare to catch wild boars? Even the people in the village need a few people to go out, otherwise they will easily be attacked by wild beasts."
When the uncles arrived today, Yang Heng also understood his father's thoughts. Looking at the malnourished appearance of these uncles and the image of falling down by the wind, he knew how difficult it was to live in this place. Two meals a day, it was a problem to see this way. Also, Yang Heng found that their eyes were full of green light. Could it be that Yang Heng looked at them according to their eyes, and it turned out that their eyes were all on the pheasants.
"Phizi, brother, why did you catch so many pheasants?" The uncles swallowed their saliva and observed around, just to see how this big brother could catch so many pheasants.
"Don't look around. This is a unique skill to catch pheasants. I told you that you can't learn it either." These uncles seemed to be my father's childhood and they had fun companions. When their eyes rolled, the father understood what the uncles were thinking. They wanted to find out what tools the father used to catch pheasants, and they also wanted to learn to catch them. But this kind of skill is really something that no one can learn. Even my father himself didn't know that he had this ability before. At this time, my father was thanking me for using medicinal liquid and ironwork techniques to cultivate these abilities of my father.
"Husband, look, what should we do if our bowls are not enough?" When my mother cooked the pheasant, she realized that there were seven people eating, but there were not enough bowls.
"Swish," everyone looked at the youngest uncle, but at this time Yang Heng and I were a little puzzled. What could this uncle have? Could it be that he would turn into a bowl?
"Why do you think of me? I don't have a quick knife in my hand, but I can't carve a wooden bowl." Oh, so that's it. This uncle actually has the skill of carving wood carving.
"Ying'er, take out the sharp knife we made for people and let the guy use it." Yang Heng has never seen the sharp knife before, but it is normal for him to have a few knives at home.
"Uncle, do you think this is OK?" I really found a sharp knife from the car, "Boy, I haven't seen it before, right? This is the sharp knife made for a pig slayer before, but after it was built, the pig slayer didn't come to take it, so I just let your mother put it up. If I didn't talk about the bowl this time, I wouldn't remember it." The father looked at Yang Heng's confused look and explained.
My uncle's skills are really nothing. While waiting for the chicken to be cooked, I saw my uncle's hands moving like flying. The sharp knife in my uncle's hands was like playing magic, which was dazzling. Soon a wooden bowl was carved successfully.
"Brother, I didn't expect that my brother is so skilled. Let me tell you, over the years, my brother has not had such good knives. He can carve beautiful patterns even with ordinary kitchen knives." Uncle II said showing off.
"Second brother, it's not as exaggerated as you said. Brother, don't listen to Second brother. This is not the case in the past few years. There is nothing at home. There is only so much work in the field. It's not enough for the grandfather to do it himself. I'm idle every day, just using carvings to pass the time." The uncle kept his hands, and was still busy explaining something.
