Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 63 Night Rain in Western Sichuan
After Professor Qian finished checking Song Chaoyang's translation, the Song family was ready to have dinner.

As soon as the food was served on the table, I heard a noise coming from next door.

When Song Shou heard the sound, he stood up immediately.

One of the voices was all too familiar to him.

That was his brother Song Shoubao.

So he hurriedly asked Song Chaoyang:
"When did your third uncle come back?"

"I don't know. I've been translating things at home all afternoon." Song Chaoyang really didn't know when Song Shoubao came back. He had been busy translating to make money all afternoon.

The third aunt is good to me, but the third uncle is a bit hard to describe.

The people he was quarreling with at the moment should be the father and son Jia Xingwang and Jia Dafu who were hanging on.

Seeing his father's hesitant expression, Song Chaoyang knew that he wanted to take a look.

After all, it was his brother and his cousin who were quarreling, and he wanted to know what was going on.

But Song Chaoyang didn't want his father to get involved.

He said to his father:

"Okay, just ignore them and ignore them!"

"You also know the character of Third Uncle, so he will definitely not suffer any loss."

At this time, the second brother Song Chaodong also spoke:

"Yes, the third uncle is right. It's not like you don't know who the third uncle is."

Song Shoubao is a well-known second-rate boy from all over the country. He usually does everything from stealing to fighting.

It is impossible to suffer a loss.

It can only be said that neither side is a good person. If a dog bites a dog, the best option is to let them go their own way.

Song Shouyi said worriedly:
"I'm not worried about this. Third Uncle You is a bastard. I'm afraid that he will act randomly. If he stabs someone with a knife, things will be serious."

Xu Cuiping, who had not spoken at this time, said:
"If he wants to use the knife, there's nothing you can do about it. We've already separated our families. Do you still want to help fight?"

After being told by his wife, Song Shouyi found it hard to speak.

Secretly, he started counting with Xiao Liuren again.

Before he could finish counting, he heard the noise getting louder again.

At the same time, there were voices from several people trying to stop the fight.

No need to guess, there must have been a fight.

Hearing the fierce quarreling and dissuading voices over there, Xu Cuiping said to the disturbed man:
"Okay, don't worry about it, hurry up and eat."

"I've been busy all afternoon and I'm starving."

"If the people over there are trying to persuade us, there won't be any trouble."

"Professor Qian and his wife are still here. You, the head of the family, went to break up the fight and left them here?"

Hearing what his wife said, Song Shouyi nodded.

Although the families are now separated, the relationship between brothers cannot be explained clearly and completely in one or two sentences.

But what my wife said makes sense.

Song Shouyi's involvement at the moment seems to have no big effect.

So I had to listen to the quarrels next door and greet everyone for dinner.

There was a strong wind blowing outside, and the quarrel next door was soon drowned out by the whistling wind.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and before I finish eating, I can't even see my fingers.

Song Chaoyang lit the kerosene lamp so that everyone could continue to eat.

At this time, the quarrel next door seemed to have disappeared.

When Song Chaoyang and the others had just finished eating and put down their chopsticks, they heard a heavy sound of rain coming from the roof tiles.

"Crackling"

Strong winds mixed with raindrops came crashing down.

The whole earth seemed to be roaring.

The door banged loudly as if someone was beating on it.

The wind pushed the wooden door, carrying the rain and mist, and squeezed into the house along the crack of the door.

A smell of moist earth and grass entered everyone's noses.

Song Chaoyang opened a door and looked inside.

A puff of rain and mist hit my face.

It was as dark as ink outside, and the little lights coming through the house illuminated about a dozen feet in front of the house.

In the once-familiar yard, there seemed to be some kind of beast hiding in the darkness and baring its claws.

Along with the sound of heavy rain falling, they roared together.

Echoing throughout the valley of Qingsong Bay.

At this time, the sky suddenly lit up, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

The whole valley was illuminated in an instant.

Song Chaoyang took advantage of this short time to see that the entire valley was filled with water mist, blown everywhere by the wind, and raindrops fell from the sky to the ground in a row, as if there was a hole in the sky.

Then a thunder exploded, and the sound echoed throughout the valley.

Even the ground trembled.

It's a bit scary to experience it raining in the mountains.

Then I heard a burst of yelling and cursing coming from next door.

After listening carefully, it turned out that Mrs. Jia's roof was leaking.

The bamboo was knocked down at noon, and many of the tiles on the roof were broken.

Uncle Song Shoujin went to the house and took away the bamboo, but didn't pay much attention to the tiles.

As a result, it is raining heavily outside and lightly raining in the room.

Mrs. Jia cursed angrily.

Song Shoujin is lazy. Even though he suspected it was going to rain, he didn't check the roof carefully.

When it rains heavily now, his house is noisy and obviously not relaxed.

Looking back, Song Chaoyang was worried about his house, wondering if it could withstand it?

Suddenly, he remembered that there were palm-wide gaps on the walls of his bedroom and kitchen.

So I hurried over to check.

Sure enough, I saw the wind and rain flowing along the cracks in the wall and pouring into the house.

The second brother is filling the cracks in the wall with dried grain grass.

I want to block the place where the wind flows.

Song Chaoyang sighed helplessly, but finally started working together.

Wait until the whole family takes action and fill the gaps in the kitchen and bedroom walls.

I also found that the roof began to leak rainwater from below.

It's not that Song Chaoyang didn't check carefully.

But the rain is really heavy.

Even if you check it carefully, some water will not escape, but some will still leak out.

Fortunately, Song Chaoyang had checked the roof in time and had taken care of most of the areas, so there weren't many leaks.

At least the most dangerous wall didn't leak water.

Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable if soaked in water.

After finishing the things inside the house, I started to check the drains outside.

Although it has been cleaned up, it has rained so hard that the dirt and leaves brought down may cause blockage.

Sure enough, when I went out, I saw a lot of leaves and silt blocking the drainage ditch.

The Song family, including Professor Qian and his wife, began to help clear the air.

By the time it was done, several people were exhausted.

Fortunately, although there are problems, they are all within control.

It was windy and rainy outside, and everyone found that they were wet when they returned home. Because of the rain, the temperature dropped very quickly.

After a while, I felt uncomfortably cold.

Song Chaoyang immediately went to the kitchen to make another pot of soup.

Everyone changed their clothes and took a sip of soup, and suddenly felt warm all over.

Professor Qian and his wife were very lucky to arrive at Song Chaoyang's home.

It would have been miserable in the original place.

If it were someone else's family, they wouldn't be treated so well.

Professor Qian thought about it and discussed it with his wife, and decided that the couple would translate some manuscripts for Song Chaoyang while they were free.

In this case, three people can translate more.

Although Professor Qian's wife has never been abroad, she is also a university teacher and comes from a scholarly family.

As long as her English is not very professional, she will still be fine.

So they told Song Chaoyang about this matter.

In order to thank Song Chaoyang and his family for taking him in, they planned to help Song Chaoyang translate.

The kind that doesn't charge money.

Song Chaoyang immediately agreed upon hearing this.

He even said that the money would definitely be given to them.

However, Professor Qian refused to agree, and it was not a good thing for them to get the money.

Don’t dare to spend it!

And now they are thanking Song Chaoyang, so how can they ask for money?
When Song Chaoyang heard this, he didn't shirk immediately. He really needed money now, especially after seeing the power of this rain.

Building a red brick house can give him a sense of security.

Next, Professor Qian and his wife began to help Song Chaoyang translate.

Under the kerosene lamp, one of the couple held a professional manual priced at three yuan per thousand words, and the other held a scientific journal priced at two yuan per thousand words. They used their already rough hands to hold a pen that they had not picked up for a long time.

It's like going back ten years ago.

Song Chaoyang saw that the two people's translation speed was not fast, but very steady, and the fonts were actually imitating his.

As if to avoid being recognized as translating by someone else.

Too much caution.

Song Chaoyang went to pour two more cups of hot tea for the two of them, and then he sat down and started to translate.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Song family.

Song Chaodong opened the door and saw that the crying third aunt was standing outside the door.

And she also had Song Lan and Song Zhu behind her.

At this moment, the third aunt's face was swollen and her whole body was wet from the rain.

Shivering from the cold looks particularly miserable.

Seeing the third aunt like this, my mother, Xu Cuiping, hurriedly invited the three of them into the house.

Asked what was going on.

After some questioning, I found out that they were driven out by Song Shoubao.

Just now Song Shoubao had a quarrel with the Jia family and his son. She went to persuade her man, but then she was angered and then received a slap in the face.

Being locked outside when it rains.

The two girls went to persuade their father Song Shoubao, but were immediately kicked out.

They had no choice but to come over and find the second roommate of the Song family with whom they had the best relationship.
