Chapter 60

Aidenwei came very quickly, but because the trees were relatively thick, and each one was as big as the mouth of a washbasin, he couldn't do it alone, so Xiang Jin, her grandparents, uncle and her mother Together, and a few more people were asked to help in the bay to saw those trees down.

Because the tree was too big, Aidenwei said, "Sister-in-law Juyun, it's not easy to move these trees up the mountain, so I put them directly under your bay, and I'll come down to make them for you when the time comes."

"Yes, yes!" Yang Juyun nodded.

Afterwards, everyone spent a lot of effort to carry those trees back to the yard of Aunt Liao's house.

And Xiang Jin went home directly after the old couple stopped stopping, and went home to cook. There are many people eating at home tonight, and outsiders are invited to help, so naturally the meal cannot be a bowl Simple noodles can be passed, so dry rice has to be cooked, and two dishes have to be fried, at least one of which must be meat.

Aunt Liao helped her, and in the process of cooking, Xiang Jin suddenly thought of something, and then asked Aunt Liao, "Aunt Liao, didn't you start working outside the home for more than nine years? out?"

Aunt Liao said, "Your grandfather still has a sister who married to the Northeast, and didn't they dig coal and log over there? Later, when workers were recruited there, she wrote back about it, saying that it was for Xiang Tao should go over there to work as a coal worker or a lumberjack.

At that time, being a worker was equivalent to the population of the country. Later, after discussing with the old Xiang's family, they decided to let Xiang Tao go, and then Xiang Tao also went. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, so that's what happened?"

Aunt Liao nodded, "Isn't that the case?"

Then Xiang Jin asked, "The old man has another girl, why haven't I heard of it?"

Aunt Liao said, "Hey, it was a long time ago, and she married there for many years and hasn't come back for decades, that is, she occasionally wrote a letter with your master, and the time of a year or two After a long time, no one will talk about her anymore, and it's only natural that you don't know."

Xiang Jin asked again, "Is she my great-grandfather's daughter?"

In order to pass on the family line and continue the incense, isn't it common for rural people nowadays to adopt a son to marry their own daughter?Presumably the old man Xiang and his sister were the same thing, but why didn't these two people succeed in the end?

Aunt Liao shook her head, "No, she was also adopted, a daughter of your great-grandmother's natal brother, who was originally thinking of marrying your grandfather when she grows up."

Huh, is this really the case? !
Immediately afterwards, I heard Aunt Liao go on to say, "Who knows that she just fell in love with a young man from the Northeast who was an educated youth in our place at that time.

That young man also meant something to her, so the two of them fell in love, and when the young man went back, she went with him, so your grandfather married your grandma later. "

"Oh, so that's what happened. Wasn't the old man very depressed at the time?" The daughter-in-law who grew up with him ended up running away with others. Just thinking about Xiang Jin, he felt that he should be very depressed.

Aunt Liao just laughed, "Then I don't know, I got married later and listened to some old people in Wantou."

Then Xiang Jin asked again, "What happened when Xiang Tao 'died' back then? Didn't the old Xiang family see the corpse?"

Aunt Liao said, "Why didn't you see it? It was cremated from the body that your grandfather claimed together with two veteran cadres from our brigade. It is said that after he went to Liaoning, he became a lumberjack directly. When pushing logs into the river down the mountain, the person and the logs rolled into the big river below.

It is said that many of the timber transported there pass directly through the big river, let the river flow directly to the downstream, and then pick up the timber in a place where the river is not turbulent, and then load it on a large truck and transport it to the timber purchase and trading center. .

It is said that there were several corpses salvaged from the river at that time, all of them were wearing the logging overalls, and two of them could still be seen as human beings, they belonged to their group, who pushed wood from the mountain and rolled down the river together Two people.

But because the other one was rushed a little far, when it was salvaged, it was a full two days later than the other two, but when it was salvaged, the whole person was swollen.

Coupled with the long-term friction with the stones in the river during the scouring process, the whole face of the corpse had already become unrecognizable when it was salvaged. It can only be seen from the outer clothing and general body shape. It looks a bit like Xiang Tao. "

"Oh, so Xiang Tao was 'dead' like this," she finally understood.

But that's not a damn thing, since he didn't die, he didn't know how to report the news to his family, and he stayed outside for so many years before coming back.

Xiang Jin curled her lips, and she was no longer concerned about the old Xiang family.

However, when they were about to finish cooking, Xiang Nan came back with a pout, and Xiang Jin asked her, "What's the matter? Who made you angry?"

Xiang Nan snorted angrily, "Didn't we saw down that tree? I wanted to drag some of the cypress branches and cypress tips I picked off, and then dry them for firewood, but the old woman didn't Quite, and yelled at me fiercely, "What are you dragging? You have to drag it to your own slope. Don't drag me!"

Then our mother saw it, so she said forget it, and dragged us back from the slope another day, sister, are you angry?They cut down our tree, and now they compensate us. Are the cypress branches and cypress tops ours?Why doesn't she let us delay? "

Xiang Jin nodded to comfort her, "That's the theory, but Xiang Nan, you have to know, if they didn't cut down our trees, then would we have to go to the slope to cut them down?"

Xiang Nan nodded, "Yes!"

Xiang Jin analyzed with her again, "Hey, look, if we go to the slope to cut the firewood, do we have to go to the slope to collect the firewood?"

Xiang Nan nodded again, "Yes!"

Xiang Jin said, "So let's forget it, what we want is the main trunk itself, since we got the trunk, what are the branches?
Our family is not short of firewood, so why don't we just be generous, respect the old and love the young, and not be as knowledgeable as them? "

Xiang Nan was still angry, "But them, I don't want to respect that old man?!"

Xiang Jin reached out and squeezed her bun face, "Girl, forgot what I told you before, we need to be more magnanimous, and the pattern should be relaxed. Care about everything, especially some insignificant things and things, that will make your mind narrower and narrower."

The little girl lowered her head in silence, then raised her head after a while, "Alright, then I won't be as knowledgeable as them."

The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth hooked into a smile, and then he took a piece of meat from a fried dish and brought it to her mouth, "Come on, have a taste of this dish, is it suitable for light or salty?"

The big piece of fat meat was delivered to her mouth, and the corners of the little girl's mouth immediately turned up, even her eyes were full of smiles, followed by her small mouth, and then ate the piece of meat into her mouth.

Aunt Liao couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was eating like a little hamster.

Xiang Jin asked her, "How is it? How does it taste?"

Wanting the girl to nod vigorously while chewing seriously, "Well, it smells delicious! It's delicious! Not salty or bland, just right!"
