Its daybreak.
A ray of sunlight shone through the hole in the roof and fell on the top of the tent where the two little guys were sleeping.
That position was originally the place where Binchotan used to sleep, and the sunlight that leaked through could be regarded as her wake-up call.
There are birds chirping outside the window, and the chirping is a bit noisy. After all, this is a forest.
The tent shook, and with the sound of zippering, Ye Linglong and Binchotan came out one after another.
"Morning, daddy!" Ye Linglong followed the custom of this world and changed her name to Ye Zan to this.
"Good morning, uncle!" Binchotan also greeted Ye Zan.
"Okay, I've made breakfast. You two go and wash up first, and then come back for breakfast." Ye Zan responded to the two little guys with a smile, stirring the steaming soup pot with a rice spoon in his hand.
"oh!"
"Thanks!"
What is today's task
It's about building a house.
In fact, with the financial resources of Ye Zan, a "traveler", it is absolutely no problem to move the two little guys to the town.
From a convenience point of view, Ye Zan has to work as a teacher in school, and the two little ones also have to attend school, so living in the town is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, for many things, it is not just about convenience, or it is not just about efficiency.
People are not machines.
When Binchotan went to school to work part-time, his clothes were stained by Miss Oaktan's carriage.
Later, Miss Yutan wanted to pay her to buy a new one, but she refused the envelope containing the money without hesitation.
The reason is that the dress she is wearing was made for her by her grandma, and she regards it as a treasure.
It was also because she regarded that piece of clothing as a treasure that when the school steward asked her to dress better when she came to work, she took out the piece of clothing that she had been reluctant to wear.
That's a piece of clothing.
So, what about this house
For Binchotan, this house holds more memories of grandma.
It can be said that in addition to being a shelter from wind and rain, this building is also a haven for her soul.
Besides, the road from here to the town means nothing to Ye Zan.
Even for the two little ones, there is a bird bus that can fly directly to the town, so there is no inconvenience in continuing to live in the forest.
After breakfast for one or two snacks, Binchotan insisted on helping wash the shabu-shabu pots and bowls. Ye Linglong followed beside him, not sure whether he was helping or causing trouble.
So, Ye Zan came outside the house alone and began to organize tools to repair the house.
The house of the Binchotan family is a wooden house with a reasonable area. The entrance is the so-called central hall, with the bedroom on the left and the kitchen on the left.
Repairing this kind of wooden house can be summarized into two methods, one is repair and the other is replacement.
The so-called repairing is to find some wooden boards, stick them on and nail them when you see the holes, just like patching clothes.
The so-called replacement means to remove the board with the hole and replace it with a new board without the hole.
Of course, there are good ways to repair, and there is also a complete system that can be repaired, which requires higher skills than replacement.
Ye Zan chose the replacement maintenance method.
"Dad, where have you been?"
Ye Linglong took Binchotan and came outside after washing the pots and dishes. She only saw a few tools placed on the open space.
"Hey, I'm on the roof. Just wait, I'll be down soon."
Following the response, Ye Zan walked around from the side of the roof, climbed onto the eaves and jumped back to the ground.
… It’s a very ordinary person’s approach. Both father and daughter are very ordinary people.
"There are a lot of repairs to be done on the roof and walls. I'm going to chop some wood. Will you two come with me?"
Ye Zan walked to the tools, picked up a logging ax, and asked the two little guys.
"Go, go, go!"
Ye Linglong shouted energetically.
"I want to help too."
Binchotan timidly echoed behind his sister.
"Go put on your cotton coat and boots, and put on your hat, scarf, and gloves."
Ye Zan put the logging ax on his shoulder, pointed at the house and gave instructions to the two little guys.
Not long after, two tightly wrapped small "cotton balls" jumped out of the door that was only hung with a rag curtain.
… Well, don’t forget to repair the door.
Ye Zan thought to himself.
Although I live in the forest, I can’t just cut down trees near my home.
Besides, there are requirements for the wood needed to repair the house, and not just any tree can be used.
In fact, from a professional perspective, the wood you just cut cannot be used directly. It must go through a series of treatments.
The simplest thing is that this wood has a lot of moisture. If you just install it in the house, won't it leak again when the wood shrinks
However, Ye Zan doesn't need to care about this, acting as a mortal is not a real mortal.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of logging woke up many hibernating animals in the forest.
Fortunately, there are bears in this forest, but without Xiong Da and Xiong Er, Ye Zan's hair can be preserved.
Ye Zan was very strong, and he swung his logging ax like a windmill. In just a few strokes, he chopped down the tree until it screamed and fell into the snow nest.
The roar of the falling trees sent snow flying all over the sky, and the surrounding trees also tried their best to shake off the snow on their heads as if to say goodbye.
For a moment, it felt like it was snowing again in the forest.
The two little guys said they were here to help, but in fact they couldn't help at all. They only entertained the little animals who came to watch the fun.
Binchotan is very popular among small animals in the forest.
After cutting down a few trees, Ye Zan stopped. After all, he was just building a house, not a palace.
After cutting off the branches and arranging the "tree" into "wood", Ye Zan took out the prepared rope, piled up several pieces of wood and tied them tightly.
Binchotan's home.
Shiba Inu and Taketan came to play with Binchotan.
After calling a few times and seeing no one, Zhutan's attention fell on the tools on the ground.
Bamboo Charcoal is an "inventor". In order to solve the problem of rest when traveling, he even "invented" a small mobile house.
As a result, the mobile home was occupied by the Shiba Inu George.
The Shiba Inu barked suddenly.
Zhutan looked curiously and saw a tall figure walking step by step from the depths of the forest.
The figure was dragging a rope, and several pieces of wood were connected behind the rope. There were two small figures sitting on the wood, getting closer and closer with the sound of "miso miso miso".
"Xiao Bei!"
Zhutan clearly saw the figure sitting on the wood. Although he didn't recognize the other little girl, he still recognized Binchotan.
"Bamboo charcoal!"
Seeing the children, Binchotan also waved and shouted.
Ye Zan dragged the wood and the two little guys to the open space in front of the house and stopped.
The two little guys jumped to the ground and ran and jumped towards Zhutan.
"So, your father adopted Xiao Bei, and Xiao Bei can go to school in the future, right?"
After introducing each other, the cheerful Zhutan quickly accepted Ye Linglong and also learned about Binchotan's adoption.
"Well, not only Xiao Bei and I are going to school, but my dad is also going to school to be a teacher." Ye Linglong said as if to show off.
"Be a teacher! But we already have a teacher?" Zhu Tan asked curiously.
"It's different. My father is a teacher who teaches everyone about the world, such as why things fall on the ground, why hot air balloons fly into the sky, why there are images on TV, etc." Ye Linglong explained proudly.
"Wow, I seem to have listened to your father's lectures earlier." Zhutan, who likes to invent, suddenly had stars in his eyes when he heard this.
