Chapter 57: The First Night in Cypress Village
After dinner, Yunduo chatted with Grandma Xia for a while. Grandma Xia didn't talk much. It was all said by Yunduo and answered a few words occasionally. Speaking of Brother Yunduo's joining the army this year, Grandma Xia also thought of her grandson and told Yunduo that her grandson had been in the army for 7 years and was 21 years old.
Yunduo didn't understand. Did he join the army at the age of 14? How did you pass the trial? In her previous life, she knew that Grandma Xia had a grandson who had been a soldier. She had never seen it or understood it.
Grandma Xia told Yunduo the experience of her grandson as a soldier like a story, which was the only thing she could show off.
Grandma Xia's tone is very calm and does not fluctuate much, which is not suitable for telling stories, but Yunduo recognized Grandma Xia's pride and missing in this story.
"Grandma Xia, do you miss him?" Yunduo doesn't quite understand. For example, she misses homes as soon as she gets home. She knows that it is impossible to reunite with her family now, but she also plans to go home early for the Spring Festival. Xia Tiezhu has been back three times in seven years, and she thinks she can't do it.
And I can hear that Grandma Xia misses him very much. The ancestors and grandchildren depend on each other, and their relationship should not be bad. So why did she leave the old man so cruelly at the age of 14? Don't come back to accompany the old man? The army also has family leave.
"Yes, why don't you think? But I'm afraid. I'm relieved to know that he went to the army. He is my only relative. Stay with me. I'm afraid that he will be like his parents and grandpa. I dare not let him come back. Just know that he is safe."
"So, is that why you refused to accept me during the day?"
"You are a good girl. I don't want to implicate you, but I'm selfish. I want you to talk to me and prove that I'm still alive." I also hope that one more person can remember her after his death! Grandma Xia's eyes were sad but did not cry. Her hand held by the clouds was slightly cold.
She probably can't even cry.
"Mr. Xia, you'm fine. I don't believe that. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just weaker. I'll wait for you to go out and bask in the sun. You're just staying at home for too long and stuffy."
After a while after dinner, the clouds brought the medicine warmed on the small charcoal stove: "Mr. Xia, you drank the medicine, and Dr. Zhang prescribed the tonic."
Grandma Xia is very obedient today. Yunduo can do whatever she says. If the captain is here, she will be surprised.
Yunduo cut a piece of white rabbit milk candy in half. After Grandma Xia finished drinking the medicine, he immediately stuffed half of it into Grandma Xia's mouth: "Mr. Xia, is it sweet?"
There will not only be bitterness in life, but also sourness and spicyness. Today, I will try sugar and sweet lips for Grandma Xia first.
Even if the previous life experienced three years of darkness, happiness and sweetness appeared most in the memories of clouds. Those three years were not forgotten, but not as important as happiness.
"Sweet, sweet to my heart." Grandma Xia pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she were laughing, which was very short and stiff.
"Well, it's getting late. I'll boil your water and soak my feet, and then we'll go to bed."
"I won't soak my feet today. Our well is behind the house. You can take the lamp and burn more. There is a bathtub in the kitchen. I haven't used it. You take a bath." Grandma Xia really doesn't have the strength to go down to the kang today. Forget it if she soaks her feet, and she has to trouble Yunduo pours her foot washing water, which is not appropriate.
The bathtub has really never been used. It was specially tyed for her when the iron column came back last time. Probably the boy was not careful enough. Grandma Xia couldn't move at all. She has always used her old bathtub. She rarely took a shower in winter. It was too cold to stand it. It was warmer after burning the kang. Grandma Xia washed diligently.
When the clouds boiled water and came in to help Grandma Xia soak her feet, Grandma Xia had fallen asleep, and it was not easy for her to wake her up, so she had to forget it.
In fact, she didn't know that Grandma Xia just heard the movement in and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Meimei soaked in a hot bath with spiritual spring water. The fatigue of her whole body was released. After two days of running around in a row, I have really relaxed until now. As soon as I relaxed, I was sleepy and almost fell asleep in hot water. The clouds quickly got up, packed up and went back to the room, laid the quilt and got in. There were many things. I haven't packed it out. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy.
Even if you are sleepy, the clouds still routinely sleep forward and sorted out before going to sleep.
On the first night in Baishu Village, the clouds slept restlessly and had a dream all night. It was strange that Lu Li had everything, but when the clouds woke up, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed of.
She was probably disturbed by her sleep by a dream. The clouds got up early. She took some vegetables in the space and cooked the green vegetables porridge. Then she warmed yesterday's steamed bread and went to the yard to punch.
Because I didn't sleep well, the somewhat weak clouds were beaten more and more energetic when they were hit.
It felt good. I called again, and then she heard Grandma Xia call her.
Grandma Xia got out of bed by herself today. She slept well at night. She hasn't slept so well for a long time. She has no dreams all night and is still very warm. It's not the quilt warm, but that her body emits heat. It's no longer the feeling of burning the kang or being cold all over.
Although she is still a little weak, she feels in good spirits. Originally, she planned to get up early to cook breakfast for Yunduo. She knew that most of the children in the city were used to eating three meals. When she walked out of the house, she saw Yunduo punching.
"Good morning, Grandma Xia." The clouds greeted while punching.
This punch, which she saw her grandson hit, looks very similar: "What punch did you punch? It's very similar to my grandson's punch.
"This is the military boxing taught by my grandfather, which is the boxing played in the army. My grandfather has also been a soldier. Your grandson should have practiced the same." After fighting twice, the clouds stopped: "Grandma Xia, I cooked green vegetable porridge. I can only make this. You will eat some."
Yunduo is a little embarrassed. Among the women she knows, she is the only one who can't cook by herself, and even simple meals can't be done.
"It's okay. Grandma can cook. Grandma will make food for you in the future." Grandma Xia is more energetic. She has nothing to give to Yunduo, but there is no problem cooking for Yunduo. Make some good work. The little girl is too thin. Grandma Xia has begun to figure out which orion house in the village still has meat. She has to buy some meat and come back.
The two of them washed up with the hot water in the boiling water bottle and went out first. She had to assemble. She went to work on the first day today and couldn't be late.
Grandma Xia slowly cleaned up the room. She loved to be clean and rested while cleaning. She went to the chicken bar behind the house to feed the chicken. In fact, Grandma Xia fed an old hen. One egg a day or two was enough for her to eat it herself. She didn't eat it every day, but saved some.
Chapter 58: A New Day
The morning in Cypress Village is a little cold and mist. When you look at the scenery in the distance, you will feel hazy. The air is very fresh, and the green grass and leaves on the roadside still hang dewdrops.
The cloud paused in a wide view, looking up at the mountains and bathing in the breeze.
Clouds like autumn, autumn means harvest, and harvest means that many green and yellow people can look forward to the hope of the next life.
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than the Spring Dynasty.
Yunduo went to the tool warehouse and passed through Zhao Dachun's house. Sure enough, Yunduo saw Li Yan waiting for her by the roadside from afar. Li Yan was still standing beside Zhao Sanqiu, and the two looked good.
The name Zhao Sanqiu really doesn't match me. The 20-year-old girl is tall, beautiful, cheerful and rude, and cheerful. She is cool. The vitality of young people is vividly reflected in her. She is the choice for many people to love with daughters and daughters and daughters.
The children of the Zhao family should be arranged in spring, summer, autumn and winter in order. If the eldest brother was not born under the cherry tree, he would probably be named Zhao Sidong, right?
When I saw Zhao Sanqiu's clouds, a sentence naturally came out of my mind: I didn't see you in a day like three autumns.
There is a Zhao Sanqiu.
The clouds were happy. They walked to the two and walked to the warehouse together.
"Are you so happy in the early morning? What are you happy about?" Li Yan was curious. Zhao Sanqiu was also curious about the little educated youth he met yesterday and looked at her together.
"Of course I'm happy to see two beautiful sisters in good air and scenery." The clouds smiled.
"Smold girl, I thought you were a clever and shy little girl, and it turned out that you were a flower of mouth." Li Yan poked Yunduo's forehead with a angrily smile. Yunduo shook his body along Li Yan's strength. She looked weak and not shocked. Li Yan was angry and smiling. She wanted to scratch her. Yunduo repeatedly sued for饶ion, and Zhao Sanqiu couldn't help but be handsome.
After fighting all the way to the warehouse, he waved across the far away from Jinqiao and shouted, "Sister Yunduo, we are here."
Men, women and children lined up to get the tools and looked here.
Clouds...
Li Yan...
Liu Zifeng...
The three covered their faces together. It's not me. I don't know each other. I don't know.
Fortunately, the captain appeared to save them.
"Come here and I'll assign you a task." The captain shouted at a few people.
Nowadays, there is no heavy physical work in the field. They are all weeding, watering and growing vegetables, and there are relatively few work points. These work do not need to be done by young adults. Most of them are older and weak, or pregnant women still have children around 10 years old.
There is a primary school in the village, and there are two substitute teachers, all educated youths who have started a family in Cypress Village, with all grades.
In fact, there are only less than 20 students in primary schools. This place is poor and backward. Few people are willing to send their children to school. The main reason is that they still have no money, and I also feel that it doesn't matter if they can't read in the field.
Haven't you seen these educated youths come to the village to do farm work? Earning more points is not as good as those old farmers.
The new educated youth could not do heavy work. He could have arranged to do these easier work first, but the captain dared not. Now, an educated youth weed and pulled out a large piece of the seedlings, and I have a heart.
They don't know that it's vegetable seedlings. What can you do if they think they are similar to grass?
Of course, not all educated youths are like this, but the captain dares not take risks.
"Today we open the wasteland, you guys followed by picking up the roots and the stones. The work points are recorded by area like others, which are two points less than the hoe. Is that okay?" The captain's arrangement is very fair.
"We have no problem." Several people don't care about it, and they also think the captain is fair.
The old educated youths have their own fixed work. They have experience and do not participate in the affairs of the new educated youth.
Only Xu Ke was a little dissatisfied, but these people agreed. Will she be dressed in small shoes if she asks more opinions?
She has been unhappy since yesterday. Unlike what she expected, the clouds are not so easy to coax, and they don't live together now. Now several other educated youths come together are walking with Yunduo, as if they are a small group, excluding her alone, and the three female educated youths are also She has formed a small group, which she has never experienced. Her popularity has always been very good, and she has to be liked by her elders. When she received this task, she thought it would be very simple and fooled a 16-year-old girl who had never seen the world.
She was so annoyed that she thought about it all night and didn't know what the problem was.
Now Xu Ke lives in an educated youth spot and lives alone on a kang. Tong Yao and others live together and make room for her, but the three of people who cook eat together and she do it alone.
All the male educated youths, she has a little fond of Liu Zifeng, and she doesn't like anyone else. Liu Zifeng and Jinqiao have some background. Sooner or later, it will be a matter of return to the city. Of course, if her task is completed, she will return to the city and arrange her work. If she is a regular worker, she will have a lot of money. But this does not affect her from finding a partner with a background. What's more, Liu Zifeng looks calm and good-looking. As for Jinqiao, she instinctively doesn't like it when she is so close to the clouds.
Unfortunately, Liu Zifeng didn't pay attention to her at all. Yesterday, the two of them were alone on the way back with food, right? Liu Zifeng also helped her move the grain back, and he was also a little fond of her, but in addition to nodding with her at the beginning, he didn't say a word and silently returned to the educated youth all the way.
Liu Zifeng and Jinqiao didn't cook with anyone else. They opened fire by themselves, and Jinqiao cooked. Unexpectedly, he did a good job, with the chili sauce given by the clouds, and it was very delicious.
Smelling the fragrance, Xu Ke wanted to come forward to join in the partner, but Jinqiao said, and came back: "It's okay to partner. Take a turn to take 20 kilograms of fine grain first and distribute it together."
She doesn't like Jinqiao even more, and she doesn't know how to be humble.
No one cares about Xu Ke's unhappiness. After listening to the captain's arrangement, they all lined up to get the tools, the hoe of the hoe, the collar frame for picking up things, and the tools they each took advantage of their hands.
Jinqiao thought he was an adult man and a young man. He got a hoe, and he wanted to hoe the ground!
Liu Zifeng and Yunduo Li Yan got the frame, and they decided to pick up something first.
Several people didn't remind him. They were happy to read his jokes. Hoes the ground didn't just need strength, but only the strength of Jinqiao, haha.
