Chapter 83

Wang Shumei has always been swift, and it was decided to build a house here. Before Aunt Li could sit still at home, Wang Shumei dragged Lin Nianhe along.

Li Dahe has been terribly worried these two days.

There is a happy event at home, the primary school is being built in the brigade, and there are countless educated youths coming...

One pile after another, crushing the hair of the little old man of the captain.

"Uncle Captain, Aunt Li."

Lin Nianhe stepped into the courtyard gate and greeted them with a smile.

"Hey, here we come." Before Aunt Li had time to tell Li Dahe about Lin Nianhe and the others asking about the new educated youth, she could only ask with a smile, "Have you checked the house? Do you want to fix it?"

Lin Nianhe smiled and shook his head: "The house is fine, I am here with Sister Shumei."

"Huh? Is there something wrong with Miss Wang?" Aunt Li pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.

Li Dahe watched the three girls sing together, smoked a cigarette, and listened quietly.

He really doesn't want to talk now, and if he is forced to speak, he just wants to ask Lin Nianhe how his review is going.

It wasn't that he had great expectations for her, but that he really didn't want to see this little brat in the field.

Others work hard, but she works hard.

Wang Shumei also smiled and said: "Didn't I want to build a house before, and it happened that I was talking about it today, so I wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the uncles in the village were building houses at this moment, and make this matter a reality." done."

"what?"

Li Dahe stiffened instantly.

The little old man looked at Wang Shumei with surprise in his eyes: "Really? Wang Zhiqing, are you serious? You want to build a house? How big is it? How many of you live?"

"I want to build two rooms and add a kitchen." Wang Shumei replied, "Xiaolan and I share one room, so we don't need too much space."

"Ah, that's fine, that's fine!" Li Dahe nodded again and again, "It just so happens that they are building a house these days, and they can bring back the materials you used along the way, which can save a lot of trouble."

Li Dahe originally thought that the three of them would live together, but on second thought, he was right, Lin Nianhe had just tidied up the firewood house, so naturally he would not spend money and trouble to move out.

But he was also satisfied, it was an unexpected joy to have a vacant room, and if he asked too much, he just waited for Wang Hong to call at the door.

Aunt Li thought about it for a while, and said: "You two girls, don't live too far away from the educated youth spot, or you can move the back wall back, and the new house will be built next to Lin girl's house, and you are still in the same courtyard."

Her words coincided with what Lin Nianhe said.

Wang Shumei glanced at Lin Nianhe, and said with a smile: "Or it must be you, I didn't think about it so much, okay, we don't know anything about building a house, so we have to trouble the captain and aunt."

"Girl, why are you so polite!"

Aunt Li smiled.

Look at this, clever children can talk, but they are much more painful than those wooden bumps!

Wang Shumei generously took out 100 yuan and handed it to Li Dahe. The trust in his eyes made Li Dahe consciously shoulder the heavy responsibility. He patted his chest and promised to build her a good and strong house.

In this regard, in addition to the non-farming work of the Shili Brigade, there is one more thing——

Build a house for the educated youth.

The ten-mile brigade is having a lively and lively life, and good things keep happening, but the nine-mile brigade five miles away is not so harmonious.

"Tsk tsk, the captain is also kind-hearted, and even gave the old house to these two bastards."

"Every one in his family counts as one, and there is no fun thing! Just that big tiger, he even robbed my grandson of candies a few days ago! It scared my grandson to death!"

"You should let them go to the bullpen..."

No matter where Zhang Dahu went recently, there were people gossiping about his family.

They were quite cautious before, just whispering.

But it will be different after today. The team leader asked them to move to the old house, saying that there will be another educated youth going to the countryside in two months. Their Zhang family’s house was built with the help of the villagers, and now only They should not live in such a big house, let them come out.

The so-called "old houses" are actually the old ancestral halls in the village. A few years ago, only the framework remained, and even the doors and windows were smashed and burned.

Moreover, this place was not inhabited in the first place, and there was no stove, let alone a kang.

It's okay that it's summer now, but when autumn comes and winter comes, people will freeze to death.

The captain's handling method was like a signal, giving the villagers the confidence to bury their family without any scruples.

In fact, Zhang Dahu saw it. Uncle Niu went to pull a lot of tiles a few days ago and came back. They were allocated by the commune to build houses for educated youths.

He saw that those bricks and tiles had all entered the head of the brigade.

But he dared not say it.

No one believes what he says now.

Just like he said before, the piece of candy he snatched from Erhanzi was snatched from his younger brother by Erhanzi. It was Erhanzi who made the move first, and many people saw it.

Even though many people have seen it, no one is willing to testify for him, let alone believe what he said.

They said that what you plant will yield what you want. He, like his parents and grandparents, is a bad person and should go to the fence.

They said that it is not easy to learn well, and once you get out of bad, you can't let him and his brother have contact with the little kids in the village, don't lead your own baby to bad.

They talked a lot, and Zhang Dahu was tired of hearing it, and he didn't care anymore.

Father and mother committed crimes, and he, the son, cannot be spared.

Therefore, when Wang Wei asked them to move out, Zhang Dahu didn't say anything, and took his younger brother Zhang Erhu, and left the home where he had lived for nine years with the few remaining clothes and half a bag of cornmeal.

The old house is at the western end of the village, about a hundred meters away from the nearest house, which is in line with the villagers' idea of ​​separating the two of them.

Sitting in the dusty and cobweb-strewn old house, the two brothers were at a loss for what to do.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Zhang Erhu whispered, clutching his stomach.

Zhang Dahu was also hungry.

He didn't know how to cook without a stove. In fact, he only learned to cook in a hurry during this period. The food he made was incomparable to what his mother made, and his brother had diarrhea several times because of it.

Seeing that his brother was silent, Zhang Erhu flattened his mouth and tears fell down his face.

"Brother, I miss my mother, I want to eat braised pork cooked by my mother."

Zhang Dahu also misses his mother, very much.

He didn't have to eat braised pork, he didn't have to eat it for the rest of his life, he just wanted his mother to come back.

The nine-year-old boy rubbed his eyes and said, "Mother will come back."

"Really?" Zhang Erhu cried, looking at him eagerly.

"real."

Zhang Dahu nodded affirmatively.

He sniffled his nose, stood up like his mother, and rubbed Erhu's head: "You wait, I'll find some firewood and cook for you."

He didn't know whether his mother could come back, but he knew that he had to do something.

Because he is a brother.

Before Zhang Dahu walked out of the old house, a person blocked his way.

He took out a white flour steamed bun and handed it to him: "Here."

Zhang Dahu knew this person.
