Mermaid Farming

They are busy all day with the things they need to prepare for the winter, and the time passes before they know it.

When the weather turned cold, the firewood in their house was already full, and the cellar was also full of food.

There is no problem with enough food for them until March next year.

In October, the weather here has started to cool down.

There are also many fewer people in the town, and the water in the river has become icy cold.

There was no way for their family to dig a well, but Ren Yu still figured out a way.

It doesn't matter if they don't have money to drill wells, they have other ways.

They directly dug a canal, which didn't require a lot of labor, and the canal didn't need to be very deep. It took them half a day to dig the canal not far from their home.

Let it flow in the original direction, it's just that they diverted a stream of water.

They passed by their house directly, because of this, they dug a big pit here to store water, and threw a lot of stones down the bottom of the pit, this is to prevent them from stirring up the water below. of those sandstones.

However, this is already very good.

At least they don't need to go so far to get water, which can be said to be very convenient.

It is best not to go out in winter.

When they opened this canal, they also avoided other people's homes, so that they would not hinder others.

But they are much more convenient with water.

It's perfectly fine to take a shower every day.

Their vegetable gardens and fields do not need to travel so far to water.

The fish they caught can be raised directly in the canal for a longer period of time.

But during this period of time, they have stopped going out to catch fish.

At this time, the weather is cold, and there is no place to catch fish, and there is no way to earn back the money for renting a boat.

Simply stay at home cat winter.

Anyway, they don't lack food at home this year.

Ren Yu specially spent his own money to buy a small pot from a place that sells ceramic pots in the town, not too big or too small.

It is very suitable for making a hot pot or a big stew.

There is nothing delicious at home, and this small pot is already very suitable.

In winter, everyone gathers together to eat, and that feeling can be said to be very good.

Even if they can't make hot pot, it's a good choice to use this thing to cook and eat together. You don't have to worry about the dishes getting cold while cooking.

The weather has just gotten cooler, they just added an extra piece of clothing.

There is a brazier at home, there are many people in the family, and it feels very warm to gather in the living room.

They were not completely free either. They went to the mountain to cut the wood and moved it to the living room. He Zeyang and the others started to make cabinets, working slowly and carefully.

They are in no rush about this matter.

When staying in winter, kill time slowly, everyone has their own things to do to pass the time.

Even Ren Yu has something to do, which is to teach the little ones in the family to learn how to read.

During this period of time, they have been working hard to practice calligraphy, and they have already learned some of the things taught to them before.

Now they are strengthening exercises and learning some new words.

Because of this, He Zeyang specially carved a lot of characters for Ren Yu.

It was written on the wooden board piece by piece, just like their flashcards.

It is convenient for everyone to study together and test each other.

In this way, there is no need to spend a lot of time teaching them to learn.

Teach one of them, and let him teach the other.

"How on earth is this basket made?" Ren Yu leaned over to He Zeyang's side, seeing the taciturn look of the others, he still liked to be around He Zeyang.

Watching him work, Ren Yu also felt that it was a kind of enjoyment.

He Zeyang was dealing with the wooden boards of the cabinet at this time, and the top was relatively rough. The inner layer was fine, but the outer layer was not.

After all, they will have to touch it with their hands when the time comes, and if they don't make it better, they will easily get their hands on those burrs.

Hearing his question, he put down what he was doing, picked up the bamboo stick on one side, and showed him the first part first.

"Have you learned it like this?"

He Zeyang put it aside, watched the movement of his hand, and pointed it from time to time. After a quarter of an hour, He Zeyang looked at the beginning of his weaving, "Why did you make a mistake again?"

"It seems that a bamboo strip is missing and not woven in." Ren Yu scratched his head and said.

"I'll do it again for you, this time you can see clearly." He Zeyang picked up another bamboo stick and made a new beginning, he slowed down.

Ren Yu stared at his movements wholeheartedly. After watching it, he said confidently, "Okay, I will definitely learn it this time!"

He dismantled the one he had made before and reorganized it.

After compiling...

Ren Yu: "...how is this different from what I imagined?"

Why is the hole in the middle so big?

Why is there another one coming out of the ones next to it? !

"Sorry, I still don't seem to have learned."

He Zeyang glanced at him and asked him to come over.

Ren Yu sat on a short stool in front of him, almost when he was hugged by He Zeyang, with a dazed expression on his face, how did he develop to this point?

"Concentrate, I'll teach you."

He Zejiang He Zehe looked at the two of them, almost hugging each other, it was unbelievable.

They recalled that when their eldest brother taught them how to learn, if they didn't learn it later, if they remembered correctly, they were scolded by their elder brother, and then directly threw the two prepared ones to them.

Let them dismantle it by themselves, and then learn slowly, and learn not to waste these bamboo sticks, so they don't have to eat at night.

In this high-pressure situation, the two of them successfully learned how to make this basket?

It's just that their speed is very slow, and what they make is not as good-looking as the big brother.

To be honest, if they didn't pay attention to these baskets, they would have made them crookedly. They all followed the same steps. I don't know why He Zeyang made them so well.

The two brothers fell into a daze, didn't they think something was wrong?

Obviously they are He Zeyang's biological brothers!

"Okay, that's how it is done, have you learned it yet?" He Zeyang left him and continued to work on his actions just now. This time, he stared at the other party's actions, and when he made a mistake, he would remind the other party, which can be said to be correct. Very considerate.

When teaching their younger brother, they were not so patient.

According to the other party's reminder, Ren Yu slowly made a basket, saying that it was a basket and it was praised.

If you give this irregularly shaped thing to others, probably no one will like it.

Ren Yu felt good about herself. Seeing the first basket she made with her own hands, she was very happy in her heart. After adding countless layers of filters, she felt that the basket she made was simply the most beautiful in the world.

God, how can there be such a beautiful basket!

This is the first basket he made with his own hands, so he must keep it as a commemorative thing after seeing the explosion.

This is really great!

The more Ren Yu watched it, the more he liked it. Should he keep his first basket or give it away?

This kind of thing is very meaningful, although others don't think there is anything, but this is made by him himself!

As a person who has never had a relationship with handicrafts since childhood, I am so happy to be able to make it successfully.

Ren Yu took her own basket and looked at it over and over again, thinking it was really pretty.

Can't help but fall into narcissism, why is he so good?

This kind of irregular figure, this is the real art? !

Thinking of being able to make this thing, he thought for a while, this thing could only be made successfully with the help of He Zeyang.

he.

Thank you so much!

Thinking of this, he reluctantly touched his basket, looking at He Zeyang with a look of hesitation.

In addition, several members of the He family shut their mouths silently, and they stopped talking. What's the pride in making such an ugly thing?

Brother Ren Yu is also very kind to them on weekdays, but to be honest it is too shocking.

Saying it looks good, that's really against my will.

They can't tell.

Ren Yu looked at He Zeyang for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind. This is his first son.

The eldest son made by himself!

The first one to do it, Ren Yu sighed inwardly.

He really couldn't bear it.

He Zeyang is not blind, so he can naturally feel his strange gaze, which makes him unable to concentrate on his work, "Is there something wrong with me when you look at me like this?"

"No? There is nothing wrong with you."

"Then why do you keep looking at me like this?"

Ren Yu blinked, looked at him and asked, "Can't I just take a look at you?"

"Okay, you can look at it as you like." He Zeyang turned around, trying hard to let himself ignore the sight of his back.

After a while, he felt something poke his back, he paused, and turned around, "What's the matter?"

"How about this basket of mine?"

He Zeyang looked at the ugly basket. To be honest, he had never seen such an ugly basket.

Even his two younger brothers who didn't study well, the basket they made for the first time, at any rate, it can be seen that it is a basket, and it is no problem to keep it for their own use.

That basket is also stable when placed on the ground.

But... He Zeyang looked at Ren Yu looking at him eagerly, and against his will, he said to the ugly thing that couldn't be placed stably, "Well, it looks very good."

Ren Yu narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said happily, "Hahahaha, I knew it, you think it looks good too, don't you?"

"To thank you for teaching me for so long, the first basket I made is given to you."

"This is a gift from me, you should cherish it."

Ren Yu stuffed things into his arms.

"Okay." He Zeyang said.

He Zejiang He Zehe looked at their eldest brother with complicated emotions.

So how could he say something against his will? !
