Chapter 19: The End
An Zhiyuan rolled up his sleeves and went to the roof, there was a big hole on the roof, and the villagers below helped to get straw, the local unique clay and straw were mixed together to make mud, clean the roof above, and then cover it with wooden boards The straw and mud were smeared and leveled, and then the last layer was layers of tiles.
Bai Xiao also started to clean up the house by himself, the kang can still be used, simply clean it up, and after the straw mat is cleaned up, it will be spread.
After adjusting to the dim light, she saw that there was a rudimentary wooden window on each side of the hall, which could be pushed outward and supported by sticks. She opened both windows, and the brightness of the room was much more pleasant than the gloom she had just had, but it also looked dirtier.
Except for a table that was as rough as everything else, a mottled wooden box on the kang that had been painted, and there was no furniture in the room. Two of the legs were also broken, leaning crookedly against the corner. The best things in the house, except for the simple guys and the complete four walls that I saw just now, the good things have long been moved to their house by the uncle.
What was left behind were worthless and broken things.
The box was opened, it was a futon of their house, it felt a little damp, and it exuded a musty smell, she struggled to carry it out, and someone in the yard had already helped her pull a rope, so that she could dry her clothes or something, and now it was just to dry the bedding, it was noon, and the sun set in the afternoon, and there was a period of time, and it was better to dry than not to sun, at least sleep a little better at night.
When the sun went down, the whole house was cleaned up, An Zhiyuan climbed down the ladder, Bai Xiao diligently fetched a large basin of water at the bottom of the corridor, "Camp Chief An, hurry up and wash up! There is really no way to cook, but the aunt in the village has already helped boil the water, everyone can drink a bowl of it! Thank you so much today, not only saved my life, but also helped me clean up the house, I really want to thank you, so let's wait for my stove to be ready, then one day please Camp Chief An and everyone to have a meal together, it is also my heart." ”
Bai Xiao is sincere thanks, although today's incident is the ingredients she designed in it! But there is no way, in order to survive, the little people can only think of some crooked tricks, but Camp Chief An has indeed helped her a lot today.
An Zhiyuan washed off the mud on his head and hands, shook his head, and shook off the water beads on it, "Okay, the little girl can also be regarded as a housewarming, in two days, I will bring the soldiers to give you a warm stove together, just build the rest of the courtyard wall, and talk always counts." "It's an indissoluble bond with this girl.
Liu Baoguo has already come over, he has been busy for a day, he has already prepared a meal, how can he let the People's Liberation Army just leave, it is impossible to say.
"Camp Commander An, my mother-in-law has already prepared a meal, let's take my comrades to eat at home! "Bai Xiao can't cook here, of course he, the village chief, has to come forward to entertain him.
An Zhiyuan waved his hand, rolled up his sleeves, buttoned up the collar, and put on his military hat, "Village chief, I really don't need it, what more do we need to serve the people?" This is what we should do, it's too late today, we have to go back to the camp, we have our discipline, we'll come the day after tomorrow to get the rest done, and let the mud embryo dry for another day tomorrow, otherwise it won't work well. ”
They will definitely not take advantage of others, and they will leave quickly with their own soldiers.
Liu Baoguo scratched his head, looked at An Zhiyuan's back and muttered to himself: "What a good person!" turned his head to Bai Xiao and said: "Let's go, the People's Liberation Army is not going, you go, girl, you can't open the stove, go to the uncle's house to eat!"
Bai Xiao shook his head, "Uncle, I won't go, you also saw that the house is still in a mess, I always have to clean up, otherwise there will be no place to put my feet at night." "No one would be happy to go to someone else's house to eat and drink for nothing.
Liu Baoguo could see that this girl was thoughtful, "Okay, you can do it yourself! Tomorrow, I will ask you to bring you a bag of cornmeal on the fifth day of the new year, you can make do with it first, and then ask your uncle for your rations." "It's still a mess.
Bai Xiao lowered his head for a moment, raised his head, and his ink-dyed eyes were sad, "Uncle, I beg you something!"
Only Liu Baoguo can help with this.
Liu Baoguo sighed, Bai Jianshe is such an honest person, so he left the children and left, look at these children are pitiful.
"Say it, girl, if the uncle can help, he must help! If he can't help, he can't help!"
Bai Xiao knew that this was actually a refusal, what could he do, Liu Baoguo couldn't see it! Isn't it just to ask for his own things back, there is nothing in this house, but everything of value is gone, and it is also necessary to say that many things in Bai Jianguo's house are from Bai Xiao's family, as well as living expenses, he is poor and white here, and he is empty-handed.
But it is a great luck that the house can be returned, and it is also an encounter with An Zhiyuan and them, otherwise Liu Baoguo would not have lived, after all, everyone thinks that this is their Bai family's own family, and outsiders will suffer from the ills if they don't manage it well, how could Liu Baoguo be such a wicked person.
"Forget it, village chief, then you go slowly, I won't send you!" Bai Xiao knew that it was a good day, today was already a victory, and he couldn't force people to be anxious all at once, and when the time came, he would jump over the wall in a hurry, and he still had to figure it slowly.
Liu Baoguo knew that this girl understood, so he left without saying much.
Bai Xiao closed the door, in the dark night, in addition to the crickets, it was the sound of her own breathing, and finally returned home, for the first time she lived in a place where Le did not have any fishy smell, and she could breathe and pant openly, maybe there was nothing bad about being reborn! At least she felt that this day was very relieved.
It feels so good to be alive, it's a day of rebirth, facing death again, and still living in her own home after escaping death, it's a good feeling.
The light bulb in the house was dim, and this was already the light bulb that the villagers were looking for, otherwise there would be no light bulb in this house.
No matter how great a difficulty is, it is not a difficulty.
Everything will be better.
Close the door, the inside is still covered with wood, now the house is indeed dilapidated, and it will be slowly cleaned up in the future.
She laid out the futon and lay down in the quilt, which smelled of sunshine, warm and comfortable, as well as happiness and vitality.
