Entertaining Children
Chapter 18 The Broken House
In terms of location, only the No. 5 dilapidated house is located at the edge of the entire village, while the other 4 houses are all near the center of the village. So after receiving lunch from the ancestral hall, Xiao Siqi and his son parted ways with the other families.
Along the way, Xiao Yao was in good spirits. Although it is a bit strenuous to walk through the dirt road in the fields, it is much easier to walk than the pure mountain road that Li Hao walked to and camped in the mountains many times in his previous life, and Li Hao's grandmother lived in the countryside in his previous life. I also spent a lot of time in the countryside when I was a child, and I am happy with this environment. On the other hand, Xiao Siqi was a bit worse. Growing up in a big city like Yanjing, Xiao Siqi, who had never been to the countryside before, had a cautious look on his face, walking slowly on the dirt road with deep and shallow feet, and Xiao Yao had to stop several times to wait for him.
Ten minutes later, the father and son finally came to their residence. The other four houses borrowed a room from a fellow in the local village, living with the local fellow. Only house No. 5 of Xiao Siqi and his son was unoccupied and looked like an abandoned house.
Although it is an abandoned house, its strength is beyond doubt. Even though there are holes in the walls on all sides, it seems that there is absolutely no danger of collapsing. Of course, the dangerous house program group will definitely not let them live.
The two first looked around inside and out. The situation in the bedroom is a little better. It seems that the program team has cleaned up in advance. The sheets and quilts on a large double wooden bed are all new. Although the wooden bed looks old, it still looks solid. On the outer wooden wall of the bedroom, two fist-sized holes were exposed due to wood decay. One of the two opposite windows on the only window fell halfway and hung on the window frame of the wall, but the window on the window The glass is all intact. The top is not bad, there are no holes, so you don't have to worry about rain leaking when it rains.
It's a bit miserable in the hall. There are holes on the top, a lot of sundries are scattered on the ground, and the ground is also uneven.
The kitchen has its own characteristics. There is no stove or stove, but a pit was dug on the ground. There are some extinguished charcoal ash in the pit. There are thick logs around it, and the inner part is blackened. On the side is a large rectangular table nailed with wood, on which the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, chopping boards and knives prepared by the program group are placed. In the corner is a large water tank, which is filled with clean water. From the looks of it, it should be enough for their father and son for two days, and there is still a lot to spare.
What worries Xiao Siqi the most is the toilet. That is, two planks were laid on a large earth pit, with a gap left in the middle. It is surrounded by wooden boards on all sides, one of which can be used as a movable door, and there is nothing on the top of the head, which is completely open to the air.
After looking around, Xiao Siqi's face turned green, and he asked Xiao Yao in a low voice, "Can I go back on my word? Can we go and get the house back?"
Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, and simply said: "Eat. After eating, pack up quickly, you can still live in it, isn't it just two days, just stick to it and it will pass."
After talking, Xiao Yao seemed a little unwilling to think about it, and slowly walked towards the photographer who was carrying the camera and followed him all the way, pointing at the camera and said: "Wu Zhankui, you are too much! Can you find this kind of place?"
The entire film crew burst out laughing at Xiao Yao's righteous accusation. In the first two seasons of the program, it was not that there were no guests who complained about the poor conditions, but most of them were complained by the father, or the father directed the children to come forward and scold Wu Zhankui. Of course, it was mostly a joke, and the program team didn't mind broadcasting it. Wu Zhankui also has the image of a devil in everyone's mind. This time, I didn't expect that Xiao Yao would directly shoot at Wu Zhankui not long after the start. The film crew didn't have any burdens, they faithfully recorded everything, anyway, there are people in charge of post-production editing anyway, so they don't have to worry about whether it can be broadcast, they just shoot it.
At this time, Xiao Siqi, who was holding a corn cob in his mouth, suddenly put his head into the camera,
Nodding repeatedly, he said, "That's right, I also strongly condemn Wu Zhankui!"
Xiao Siqi and his son finished their lunch standing at the gate of the house, as if to express their dissatisfaction with the dilapidated house arranged by Wu Zhankui.
But to express your dissatisfaction, you still have to face this broken house.
"How?" Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao.
"Move those things out of the hall first, clear out the hall. I can't move those big things, you first clear them to the open space at the door, let's see what can be used." Xiao Yao directed Looking at Xiao Siqi and said.
Xiao Siqi went into the hall to move things. Xiao Yao went to find a broken bamboo basket from a pile of debris piled up in the open space behind the house. After dragging the bamboo basket to the door of the house, put the cobs of corn and some other garbage thrown on the open space after lunch into the basket. Looking up at the camera, he said again: "It's not a good habit to litter, you have to clean up after eating."
Chen Min and the others in the filming crew were speechless. The sense of variety show was overwhelming.
Xiao Yao didn't care about this, and dragged the bamboo basket containing the garbage to the corner of the open space in front of the door, turned around and went into the house.
The film crew immediately followed up, but after Xiao Yao entered the house, instead of helping Xiao Siqi move things in the hall, he went into the utility room next to him. Now the father and son are separated, but the film crew has only one camera. The cameraman immediately asked Chen Min, "Sister Chen, who are you shooting?" Chen Min glanced at Xiao Siqi who was moving the sundries in the hall out of the house one by one, and said decisively, "Follow Bayi."
Just now, after turning around, Xiao Yao had a clue in his heart. The sundries piled up in the hall are mostly broken furniture and large pieces of wood, but most of the real sundries like tools are in his current room. The house has already lost power. For the needs of filming, the program team temporarily pulled wires and installed an electric light in the three places of the bedroom, kitchen and hall. But the program team didn't expect Xiao Yao to get into this small room full of things, so there is no light in this room. But fortunately, although this room has no windows, there are a few holes on the top. The sunlight shines through the holes on the top, and the situation in the room can barely be seen. This room should be the original owner's tool room, where hoes, shovels, picks and other tools are piled up. But these farm tools for doing farm work are not what Xiao Yao needs. Xiao Yao rummaged through a pile of wooden boards, and brought out a toolbox made of wood, in which there were hammers, pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers and a pile of nails in a mess.
Xiao Yao put the toolbox aside, picked out a few thinner boards from the pile of wood scattered nearby, took them out together with the toolbox, and went straight to the bedroom.
Walking to the wooden wall with several holes in the bedroom, he put the board and toolbox on the ground, and picked up the nails and hammer.
Seeing Xiao Yao pick up the hammer, Chen Min was startled, and shouted, "Ba Yi, what are you doing, put it down quickly, you can't play with the hammer casually."
"Play?" Xiao Yao looked up at Chen Min strangely, "I didn't play."
Xiao Siqi, who heard Chen Min's cry, also ran in, saw Xiao Yao holding a hammer, and asked suspiciously, "Ba Yi, what are you doing?"
"Block these holes in the wall, otherwise what will happen if there are mice or something running in at night?" Xiao Yao replied.
"Fill the wall? Can you do it?" Xiao Siqi asked.
Xiao Yao nodded and said, "It's not too difficult to just nail a piece of wood on top of this hole."
"Oh," Xiao Siqi nodded, and turned to go out.
Chen Min became anxious, grabbed Xiao Siqi and said, "You let such a kid nail wooden boards? What if you hit your hand? Has he done it before?"
Xiao Siqi spread his hands indifferently, and said: "I don't know if he has done it before, but Bayi is more reliable than me in doing things. Under normal circumstances, he thinks that he can basically do well in the things he can do, such as the pile of rubbish in the hall. Things, if he thinks he can’t move them, he won’t move them, but asks me to move them. I’ve never done things like nailing boards. If the two of us do this, I’m sure I’ll hit the odds It's definitely much higher than the chance of getting hit by Bayi." After speaking, Xiao Siqi went out to continue working.
What kind of a wonderful father and son pair is this? Chen Min sighed, then pointed at Liu Shanxing and said to Xiao Yao: "Bayi, can I ask Uncle Liu to nail it for you?" Ordinarily, their film crew couldn't interfere and help the guests so obviously, but she was really afraid Xiao Yao smashed his hands and something happened.
"It's okay, I can do it." Xiao Yao said in his mouth, but his hands didn't stop. Pick out a board, first lightly nail two iron nails to the two corners of the board, only let the nails stand up on the board and then stop, without nailing through. Then use the left hand to press the wooden board on the hole, and the right hand hammer to knock the two standing nails through the wooden board one by one and into the wooden wall. When the plank is left on the wall, pick out two nails and nail the other two corners of the plank.
Seeing Xiao Yao's skilled movements, Chen Min's hanging heart finally let go, but his curiosity came up again, and he asked Xiao Yao, "Ba Yi, you can even do this carpentry? Who taught you? ?”
"I learned from a prop master from a crew." Xiao Yao picked up the second wooden board and replied casually, "I can make a wooden bench out of it."
"The crew? Have you acted before?" Chen Min asked strangely. Is this Xiao Yao still a child actor? It is not mentioned in the information.
"No, but my grandfather is an actor. He was filming, so I went to play with the crew. Seeing that the prop master made props was very fun, so I pestered the prop master to learn for a while." Xiao Yao replied.
"By the way, Xiao Siqi's father, Xiao Chengru, is a very famous old actor, so that's the case." Chen Min suddenly understood, but no matter what, he was still a little surprised.
By the time Xiao Siqi cleared out the pile of junk in the hall and walked into the bedroom, Xiao Yao had already plugged up several holes in the wall. The hole in the wall is not high, which is no problem for Xiao Yao who is nearly 1.2 meters tall, but Xiao Yao can't reach the broken window that droops.
"The hole is blocked, how can I fix the window?" Xiao Siqi also knew that the window couldn't be reached by Xiao Yao's height, so he had to do it himself. But how to deal with him is unclear, it still depends on Xiao Yao's intention.
Xiao Yao observed it, and the main reason for the half of the window falling was that the hinge connecting the window below and the window frame on the wall was gone. It is unlikely that there is such a hinge on the window in this house, even if there is, it is estimated that with his and Xiao Siqi's abilities, it will not be able to install it.
"This window can't be repaired. You hold up the fallen window and push it directly into the window frame. In order to avoid bringing it down when the other window is opened and closed, you use wooden strips to fix the broken window. A window is nailed to the wall, so let’s just fix it to death.” Xiao Yao said.
"Okay." Xiao Siqi pushed the window up, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and picked up the hammer.
"Be careful!"
"what!"
Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, Xiao Siqi let out a scream, and sure enough, a hammer hit his finger holding the nail.
Chen Min felt as if ten thousand alpacas were rushing past his heart, Xiao Siqi, do you have to prove what you said just now? The chance of you hitting your own hand is indeed higher than Xiao Yao's.
Fortunately, Xiao Siqi didn't use much strength, just a bit of pain, but didn't suffer any injuries, and finally nailed the window shut.
Finished in the bedroom, Xiao Yao took the toolbox to the open space at the gate of the house, and began to pick and choose among the pile of broken furniture. Finally, I picked out a table and four small stools to make a set of tables and chairs. However, this table and chair either simply lacked legs or one or several legs were broken and shortened. Fortunately, there were a lot of wood next to it. Xiao Yao picked a three-finger-thick log from the wood, sawed it into several sections with a saw, and nailed them to the selected tables and stools according to their lengths.
"It's too ugly." Xiao Yao shook his head and looked at his work, and said to himself: "But there is no other way, it can only be done like this, let's make do with it."
This set of tables and stools is indeed a bit ugly, the shape and thickness of the table legs are different, and some legs of the stool are connected by two wooden sticks nailed together. It is not particularly level on the ground, but fortunately, although the table is a little wobbly, it will not fall over. Although the stool is a little wobbly when sitting on it, it will not fall if you pay attention to it.
The bedroom and kitchen were cleaned by the program team in advance, and there was no need to clean the loess floor of the hall. The cobwebs on the walls of the hall were cleaned up, and the dust on the beams was simply removed, and then the processed set of tables and stools were moved. After coming in to wipe off, the Xiao family father and son washed their heads and faces, changed into clean clothes, and fell on the bed exhausted.
