Chapter Ninety-Three: The Sitting Figure
At this time, the most embarrassing person is Guo to his father, Guo to his grandfather is okay, nodded to him, and the others didn't say a word.
There's no way, he broke the hearts of Guo's mother's family in the past, and it's good if he didn't beat him.
At this time, what worries Guo is how his father will deal with this matter.
After Guo Qu and the others entered the house, they were arranged to a square table, under which was a charcoal fire, as for the stove and the like, there was no one here.
Although Guo Qu's uncle is the third-in-command in the township, it is useless, Guo Qu estimates that his uncle is being investigated because he gave birth to his cousin.
Moreover, if the officials of this era were not greedy, they would not even have their own housing, and they would all rely on renting a house.
As mentioned earlier, there are two people in Shuigou Village who are studying, in fact, there are far more people who are still reading than mentioned above, but those people are the children of people who came out of the village. After going out, the future is bright, and who wants to come back?
In this era, if you want to go out, one is through studying, and the other is to become a soldier, and if you want to go out of the mountains, your elders must have been on the battlefield, that is, the anti-United States or Vietnam-counterattack.
It just so happened that there were a lot of people in the village back then, as for the reason, it was the responsibility and obligation to say that it was high, and it was selfish to say that it was better to eat Guanyin soil at home in those days, so it was better to gamble.
This point is often mentioned by the people in the village, because one of the people who walked out of the village was only halfway there, and the war on the Yalu River had ended, but that person had already stayed in the army, and in later generations, he would retire in the courtyard house in the capital, but ...... But he never came back.
As for which of the above points to believe, it is naturally a matter of opinion.
Guo Qu's uncle was the poor who went to the army back then, but fortunately he went to school before becoming a soldier and knew how to read. This is remarkable in this era, after retiring from the army, he directly served as the village party secretary, and then slowly became the third secretary of the township today. It's just a pity that his uncle is too kind, and he can't bear to go to the child in his aunt's belly, and then ......
This situation, if it is in the future generations, I am afraid it will be a different situation.
……
In his previous life, Guo Qu had also talked with the relatives of the villagers, and now he had talked to the people of the relevant personnel outside, and the person told him that from eight years to 02, his family was poor and owed a lot of money.
It wasn't until the township planned that the man's land was occupied, and the account was repaid.
A salary of several hundred to thousands a month is not enough for pocket money, let alone buying a house, and even because it is a relevant person, it is not possible to set up a banquet casually, otherwise it will be severely punished, in this case, to be honest, no matter what kind of person is not happy.
Therefore, although Guo went to his grandfather's house to be an official, it was of little use, and he couldn't even afford a stove, so it was nothing.
Guo Qu's aunt is a doctor, and she is very famous, people from several nearby villages will go to her to buy medicine if they have any illness, but it still can't change anything, because his uncle's family now has three children, two of whom are in school, tuition and miscellaneous fees, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., and the combined expenses are very scary.
Guo's grandfather's family is poor, so it will be very cold to stay at home in winter, which must be inevitable, after all, the carbon fire is still not as good as the furnace fire anyway.
The girl was completely shrunk in the felt, only her eyes were exposed, and then she was held in her grandmother's arms, roasting the charcoal fire under the square table.
The carbon fire can only ensure that the feet are not stiff, but the upper body is very cold, what should I do?
Close the door, close all the cracked walls and doors of the wooden house, and cower in front of the stove, usually a root stump can be burned for a day to barely ensure warmth, and when the house has guests, then take out the charcoal......
What a familiar scene, most rural people in this era should have experienced it, and Guo Qu also experienced it in his previous life.
He still remembers that in his previous life, he and the old man sat in front of the stove, and the pit in front of the stove was the root stump, and the two of them could sit there all day, and when they felt cold, they used the fire tongs to dig out the ashes of the grass and trees, and then blew with their mouths to blow the roots and stumps on fire, and then they were smoked by the ashes of the plants and trees, and smoked for a while......
Now, he doesn't have to go through such a difficult time, so naturally he never thought that he would see this scene again, and what he didn't expect was that this scene happened at his grandfather's house.
Looking at his grandfather who was sitting alone in front of the stove because he couldn't sit down at the table, and because of the cold, his body shrunk, and his hands covered with calluses and wrinkles trembled on the edge of the fire in front of the stove, but he was speechless, he didn't say anything, just silently roasted the fire, Guo went to tears and tears, why did he cry?
He didn't know either.
What sometimes comes to his mind is that in his previous life, he and the old man sat in front of the stove, and the whole house was dark except in front of the stove.
Sometimes it comes to mind that his grandfather was alone in the mountains, hitting the tombstone with a small shovel and carving the words on the tombstone, which he made with a hammer and a shovel. At the same time, his hammer after hammer also hammered out the children's food and clothing, and also hammered out the image of an iron-clad rural man, he is the tall man in the family, he is the heaven of the family.
With him, home is there.
With him, even if the family occasionally goes hungry, he will not panic.
At this time, the figures of his grandfather and his grandfather overlapped, the two had too many similarities, not many words, and spent most of their lives in silence, but their feet and hands never stopped, wordless giving, silent love, this is what they are now in the sixtieth century.
When winter comes, they can no longer do heavy work outside, so they can only sit in front of the stove, and the cold makes their bodies shrink by at least one-third than usual.
They......
Wordless moved, wordless sadness, Guo Qu took a deep breath to relieve the tears falling, but the effect was not good, and the tears couldn't be stopped.
That touch, perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand, so Guo Qu will burst into tears.
That sadness is also only understood by those who have experienced it, because only after experiencing it can we understand what the old man has done all his life and what he is still doing when he is old.
Asking himself, Guo Qu felt that he was sorry for these two old men, because even if these two old men were old, they were still giving wordlessly and paying without asking for anything in return.
Guo Qu didn't cry, and he hid it well, so no one saw him crying.
The girl was in her grandmother's arms, and at this time the girl had several candies in her hand, and her grandmother was feeding the peeled candy into her mouth.
The girl smiled, she was easily satisfied, and at the same time she was also very kind and filial, "Grandma, sugar~, eat~"
"Okay, grandma eats sugar, grandma eats sugar. ”
Guo Qu's grandfather smiled, and smiled at the moment when the girl asked her grandmother to eat candy, and she smiled very contentedly and satisfied......
