Chapter 177 Cutting down trees

Yan Yu insisted on following her father into the mountains.

The cat was held by her.

Yan Laoer had no choice but to take her with him.

Sanbao was led by Li Xuemei to work on the ten acres of land near the village.

Farming is busy right now, so it would be strange for people to see you taking a cow into the mountains.

The beam Qi Wu found was a fir tree.

Tall, straight, and the right thickness.

Qi Da carefully put Yan Yu down, and Yan Laoer looked at her speechlessly.

If his daughter wanted to coax someone, she would pour out nice words as if they were free of charge.

Uncle Qi, are you tired? Let me down and walk for a while...Uncle Qi, you are so tall...Uncle Qi, you walk fast and steady...Uncle Qi, you are not even sweating. I want to wipe you.

Where is Khan...Uncle Qi...Uncle Qi...Uncle Qi...

Her uncle Qi just carried her all the way.

Yan Yu ran over with a smile, stretched out his arms and hugged a tree, "Dad, do you think I still have enough time to hug you?"

Yan Laoer looked over and said, "If you move forward a little further, you will almost be able to start."

Yan Yu suppressed her blush and tried hard to reach it.

Her father laughed and said: "No, you have to grow for another two years, your arms are not long enough."

Yan Yu retracted his arm and grinned.

She knew that her father was jealous, but he was also easy to coax, and Caiyi could entertain him and make him laugh, and he could get through anything.

Qi Wu pointed out the mark he made to them and said, "I found all the people with this mark."

Yan Laoer nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started. My daughter, stay away."

"Okay!" Yan Yu happily agreed, "Dad, I'll just play nearby and won't go far."

"Okay, you can play." Yan Laoer was relieved, there was a cat following him.

Maomao squatted in Yan Yu's backpack, revealing a small head.

Before coming, Li Xuemei specially asked it to take good care of Yan Yu.

So this time the cat was particularly well-behaved and never left.

Everything in the mountains is very primitive and the roads are difficult to walk.

Especially in this area, very few people come here. The thick fallen leaves on the ground are melted layer by layer by the earth, but they still stubbornly leave traces of their past.

Yan Yu walked very carefully. Only when he stepped on it would he know whether he had stepped firmly or not.

Duang——Duang——

Yan Yu turned around and saw that Uncle Qi had already started cutting down the tree.

Uncle Qi also put on a posture.

According to the discussion between the four people, they were to cut down two trees at a time. If there were more, they would not be able to transport them down the mountain.

"Maomao, are there any wild animals around here?" Yan Yu turned his backpack over and carried it to the front.

Maomao nodded, the area 'nearby' is too large, and there are many wild animals.

Yan Yu asked: "Are there hares?" "Are there chickens?" "Are there wild boars?"...

The cat kept nodding.

There is everything in the mountains, are you happy?

Yan Yu is so happy!

This will save money on buying meat!

"There is also a water source, right? In which direction?"

The cat stretched out its little paws to point it out to her.

Yan Yu smiled contentedly.

Diversion of water for irrigation and diversion of water from rivers is actually not as good as diversion of water from mountains.

The terrain is higher on the mountain, so it is actually easier to divert water.

She wanted to go into the mountains and experience whether the slope was steep enough, how dense the forest was, and whether the mountain roads here were easy to walk.

Many things, just hearing about them, are far less intuitive than seeing them with your own eyes.

Yan Yu had no intention of going to the water source to check.

Because her fifth uncle and uncle Qi were really good at cutting down trees.

After a while, the two fir trees were almost chopped down.

Yan Laoer called her: "Daughter, come here quickly."

Yan Yu responded and hurriedly ran to her father and Fourth Uncle Qi, and the two elders and the younger one took their positions.

Qi Wu and Qi Da raised their feet back and forth and kicked the big tree to one side.

The branches and leaves scraped against each other, and two big trees fell down.

A flock of birds startled.

Qi Da and Qi Wu cut down the unnecessary branches.

Yan Laoer and Qi Si gathered these branches into a pile and put them aside.

Several people discussed it again and decided to let Qi Da and Qi Si carry a piece of wood down the mountain first.

Qi Wu and Yan Laoer were left to continue cutting down trees on the mountain.

All Yan Laoer can do is to tie the cut branches neatly.

Qi Wu continued to attack the fir tree he had chosen.

The chop was so vigorous that his eyes were gleaming.

Big trees fell down one after another, and Yan Laoer was busy, and his hands never stopped.

"Qi Wu, take a rest, take a rest first, there are so many, we have to carry them until when." Yan Laoer couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to stop.

It is easier to cut down a tree than to lift it.

These trees are too tall and they are difficult to turn when walking sideways through the forest.

Qi Wu giggled, holding an ax to remove branches from the wood he had chopped down.

Smooth out all those twigs and branches.

Yan Yu was also helping.

It was inconvenient for her to hold the big one, but she could pick the smaller one.

Qi Da and Qi Si went back and forth several times.

Start with the first one and add to the next three.

On the last trip, Qi Da and Qi Si pushed two trolleys and piled the arranged branches high.

A group of people went down the mountain.

Just in time for lunch.

Yan Laoer felt much more relaxed now that Aunt Rong was preparing the meals.

Just bring the bowl when you get back from work.

Not to mention, it feels really good to be able to eat something hot and ready-made when you go home.

There’s nothing to say about Grandma Rong’s cooking skills. Although they are simple farm meals, they taste very good.

You can tell by looking at Master Lu and others. The food is delicious. When it's time to eat, they don't need anyone to greet them. They just come here to look for it.

Yan Laoer filled his stomach and said hello to the Qi brothers.

The latter wanted to continue going up the mountain to cut wood. He kept track of the number of days. Today he went to the brick-burning factory in Yongning to see if he could bring back some bricks.

Yan Yu did not follow her anymore and followed her mother to the ground honestly.

The ten acres of land close to the village have few weeds and many stones.

Especially small stones.

Several people were squatting in the field picking baskets.

Li Xuemei was given the job of raking grass by Aunt Rong, so she was able to stand.

After a while, Yan Yuqian had to stand up and move around, stamping his feet and twisting left and right.

The fourth iron man came running with the fifth iron man.

"Yan Xiaoer, why don't you ask us to help you with the work at home?" Sitie asked.

Yan Yu blinked.

"Everyone is clearing land, and you are not idle either!"

"Master said we can just pick stones. My land has been picked, and it will be picked for yours as well. Can you give us work points?" Sitie came with a goal in mind.

Wutie was still young and his thoughts were more straightforward. He said directly: "Yes, we will help you work and earn points to exchange for soap for my mother and aunt."

The two children listened to their mother's private murmurs that they worked every day and were covered in stinky sweat, especially since they were so close to the river and had easy access to water.

But if they continue to exchange for worthless things like before, they won't be so shameless.

Someone had said before that if the Yan family's fragrant rice noodles were put in a store, they could be sold for eight coins!

The fourth and fifth irons also need to be washed every day. Looking at the smaller and smaller fragrant noodles, I suddenly thought of the work points that Yan Xiaoer had mentioned before.

If you exchange your work points for fragrant pancakes, you won't have to spend any money.
