Chapter 154, Check the Base
"You want to take a bath?" Mei Xue asked in confusion.
"No, just wash your face, wash your hands, and change your clothes." He Anze shook his head.
"Okay, wait a moment." After saying that, Mei Xue turned around and went back into the kitchen, taking out a basin and a thermos.
He Anze quickly cleaned himself and Xiaobai up. Xiaobai was all wet and was thrown into the firebox by He Anze.
After changing his clothes, he ate with Li Fei and the others to fill his stomach.
"Eat more. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot." Grandma He sat aside and advised the two to eat more.
"Thank you, grandma. We're almost done eating." I have to say, the food at Brother He's house is really delicious. Fang Kai swallowed the food in his mouth and responded.
Li Fei was also stuffing his food and nodding his head. He really envied Brother He because the food at home was so delicious.
The dishes at home were similar on weekdays, but he really didn’t think they were that delicious.
There were two stir-fried dishes on the table, one meat and one vegetable. Since only Meixue and her grandmother were at home, they cooked only as much as they ate, so there was really nothing left over.
Grandma He took some eggs and some leftover leeks and stir-fried some yellow cabbage, and those were the only two dishes.
Unexpectedly, the three of them ate it all up.
"If you are not full, just wait a little longer. Grandma will make dinner for you later, and we will have something good to eat in the evening." It is New Year’s Day, and we can’t let the children go hungry.
"Thank you, grandma." The two of them thanked her.
After dinner, He Anze took them to the base next door. It hadn’t thawed yet, but the base had been built long ago, so it didn’t matter whether it thawed or not.
The main thing is wood. The wood at home is not enough to build a house like the one Xiaoxue said, so he has to figure out how to go to the village to buy wood.
After the three of them left, Mei Xue and her grandmother began to prepare dinner.
As soon as Jia Anze appeared at the base, An Liang, An Wen and An Shan surrounded him.
"Brother Anze, what are you doing here? Playing in the snow?" An Liang ran up and asked.
Seeing them coming, He Anze waved his hand and said, "You are just playing around. Have you ever read a book? Be careful that your mother will beat you up."
An Liang approached He Anze. When he heard about reading, his head almost exploded. "I have finished my homework." If the snow on the mountain had not melted yet, he would have wanted to go fishing in the mountain.
The fish today is precious.
"You are so lazy. When your grades can't keep up, just wait and see how your mother will beat you." He Anze shook his head and said unhappily.
"That's right, Brother Anze, you don't know that An Liang also said he wanted to go fishing in the mountains." An Shan complained.
Hearing this, He Anze was stunned for a moment, "How dare you go up the mountain in such a cold day? Don't you know that the animals in the mountains are more ferocious in winter?" He was a little worried.
"An Liang, you will be going to school in a few days. Just study hard at home these days. If you really don't want to study, come and help me repair the house." He was afraid that he would pull An Shan and the others up the mountain.
An Wen looked at An Liang with a smile, knowing that this guy was restless, "Brother An Ze, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him and won't let him go up the mountain."
If he dares to go, he can go find Aunt Meilian.
"That's good. It's New Year's Day, so I hope nothing happens." The mountains are different from the villages. You can lose half your life if you are not careful.
Li Fei and Fang Kai were somewhat interested, "Brother He, come on, it would be great to go to the mountains. We have never been there. Can you take us to see it?" Fang Kai said with a longing look on his face.
Li Fei also agreed, "That's right, you can't just start working right away, right? You have to let me walk around, right?"
These two people really never mind making trouble.
"Heh, can you climb up that mountain?" He Anze looked at the two of them with disdain, "The place An Liang was talking about is on that mountain." He Anze pointed at Chaotian Mountain.
The two of them looked at his hand.
Damn, these are the only two high mountains visible in the village.
"No way, it's so high?" Fang Kai was a little timid. He had never climbed such a high mountain in his life.
"It's okay, it's okay. The road is easy to walk on." An Liang immediately walked to Fang Kai and the others as if he had seized the opportunity.
"Let me tell you, it's fun in the mountains..."
So An Liang started to blow. Fortunately, the wind was strong in winter, otherwise the cow might not be able to be blown up by him.
"How about we give it a try?" Fang Kai said with some longing after hearing An Liang's words.
Li Fei nodded and looked at He Anze expectantly, "Brother He, how about we go and have some fun?"
He Anze had a headache, "Is the road really easy to walk on?" He looked at An Liang with suspicion, "The snow on the mountain hasn't melted yet. If you want to lie, you should find a better excuse." He said with disbelief.
"The road is easy to walk on only when the snow is still there. If it melts, it will be hard to walk on. Brother Anze, do you agree? Let's go together, let's go together."
After thinking about it, he glanced at his two friends again. After seeing their interested faces, he knew that if he didn't take them with him, they would definitely nag him for a long time.
"Okay, then we'll go tomorrow. We can't go today. It's getting late. If we go up the mountain, I'm afraid we won't be able to come down before dark." He Anze was still a little worried.
He has to go back and discuss this matter with his wife. He still has great confidence in her abilities, so he must take her with him if he goes up the mountain.
This mountain doesn’t look like the place where he grew up at all. It looks more like the village where Xiaoxue grew up.
Don’t think about it. It will only hurt you if you think too much. He is still in pain. Grandma was so cruel.
After the discussion, several people began to circle around the base.
When An Wen learned that He Anze and his family were going to build the house here, he was the happiest.
Because his house is next door, it was more convenient for his wife to chat with his sister-in-law.
After they dispersed, He Anze took Fang Kai and the others back home.
Seeing them come back, grandma asked, "How does it look? Can we start digging?" Grandma meant that she wanted to know whether the ground had thawed a little.
"Not yet. We have to wait. But there's no rush. Let's prepare the wood first. Li Fei and I will collect some wood in the village in the next few days." He Anze said as he sat down.
"That's right. I never thought about repairing the house before, and we don't have that much wood at home. If it's not enough, we can go to the team on the mountain and ask. They should have more wood."
Compared with those teams living in the mountains, their team on this side of the creek has much less wood.
"I think so too. There's no rush. Let's wait until the new year begins and ask around in the village first."
Mei Xue listened to their conversation without asking many questions, mainly because she wouldn't understand even if they asked. She only told He Anze that she wanted to build a house like An Cheng's.
It is a two-story building, a large stilt house.
"It's OK as long as you have an idea in your mind." Grandma He nodded, agreeing with his idea. "By the way, why were An Liang and the others so happy just now?"
She has to be careful about that kid An Liang.
