Finally, one day in early October, the thatched house was built, the whole house was made of wood, straw and bamboo, the workmanship was a little rough, it can be seen that the roof is not very neat, but it is very thick, as long as it is not a heavy rainstorm, it should still be able to withstand it. The whole thatched house www.biquge.info front of the Qingfeng Valley is two bedrooms.

The doors of the two bedrooms were next to each other, separated by a grass wall in the middle, and when you entered the room, there were grass walls on all sides, except for a small window on each of the outermost walls. The small window is made of straw and then fixed with bamboo strips, and when it is necessary to open the window, it is supported by a wooden stick, and it cannot be fully opened. There were no weeds or stakes on the ground, and they were all dug up with the roots, revealing brown muddy ground, which did not look soft, and should have been repeatedly rolled with stone mills, so it was still flat.

On the right hand side of the whole thatched house is a kitchen that is not very spacious, the stove has been set up, and there are two empty stove eyes but no pot; on the left hand side is a simple thatched house built with bamboo strips of bamboo, and next to the thatched house is a sheep house specially built for the monkey lady, which is simply covered with a roof, but it is not firm when it opens.

Xing Dafu's family was putting things in the front yard inside, and only Xing Youyou was sitting on a big rock in the yard. Although this courtyard is not as big as the Xiaochuan family, it is much larger than the old Xing family.

Because there weren't many things, the whole process ended quickly, Xing Dafu still used the small stove before to cook for the little guys, and there was nothing delicious for dinner, and it was a meal to boil wild vegetables with rice soup. However, in order to celebrate that they have their own new home from now on, they snatched a little bit of Xiaobai's rations, which can be regarded as supplementing a little bit of physical strength consumed by a day's labor.

After supper, it was already dark, and the whole valley was quite quiet, except for the ups and downs of all kinds of insects, like a great assembly, and like a great ensemble. Slowly, under the starlight, Xing Dafu started a fire in the middle of the yard, moved a few large stones suitable for stone benches around the house and placed them around the fire, holding Xing Youyou and the children around to discuss the family's 'big plan'.

"Today is the day when the brigade distributes food, but because we chose to divide the money at the end of the year when we split the family, we left the grain to my grandmother, and now we only have so much rice. Xing Dafu opened the small burlap bag containing the rice and lowered it so that the children could see it clearly.

After the separation, the children have no one to rely on except him, so he has to slowly let the children learn to live, which requires him to tell the children everything about the family, and everyone will think together.

The children frowned when they saw this little food, and they stopped talking.

Xing Youliang: "Ah, then why don't we ask for money for food?"

Xing Dafu: "Do you remember what your tuition fees were used for?"

There is food for punishment: "24 catties of grain." ”

Xing Dafu: "Then where did the food we brought to my grandmother's house come from?"

Xing Youqian: "I borrowed it from Uncle Chen." ”

Xing Youliang suddenly realized: "Oh, if you calculate it in this way, we won't have much food to distribute, it's not cost-effective." ”

Xing Dafu: "By the way, when the money is distributed at the end of the year, we can also go to the town to exchange food stamps, and then exchange food stamps for food." ”

"But Dad, what can we do during this time?"

Xing Dafu didn't belong to his family before, and he didn't think about this, but now that Xiaorong is gone, no one helps him answer, and now when the children ask, he really can't answer for a while.

Xing Dafu sighed: "Tomorrow, my father will start to go to the ground, and I don't have time to go to the mountains to find food, and I can't think of a good way for the time being." ”

"After school, my brother and I went to the back mountains to dig wild vegetables, and we could also go down to the river to catch fish. ”

Xing Youqian heard that he could go out to play, and he didn't need to go to Brother Xiaochuan to study, so he happily echoed 'um, um, um'.

Xing Dafu: "I'm afraid the fish in the river have already been caught, but I'll make a fish basket for you tomorrow, but remember not to go to deep places." ”

Xing Youqian: "Two, make up two, one brother, one for me." ”

Xing Dafu also hugged him with one hand/sat on his left leg, Xing Youyou sat on his right leg, and said with a smile: "Okay, dad makes up two, one for each of you two brothers, but you must promise that dad can't go down again if he doesn't have a little / leg, and also, you can't go to the back mountain without your dad to accompany you, you can only go to the grove opposite Huaxi to dig wild vegetables, there is food, you are the elder brother, you are the patriarch when your dad is not at home, you have to protect your younger brothers and sisters, this is your responsibility, you know?"

Xing Youliang looked at Xing Dafu's dark eyes firmly with bright eyes and said, "Dad, I know that I will protect my younger brothers and sisters when you are not at home and not let anyone hurt them." ”

At this time, the person who said this sentence did not know that in the near future, it would become his mission every day and night.

The next day, when Xing Youliang came back from picking wild vegetables with his younger brothers and sisters, he saw a lot of people standing in his yard, surrounding his father in the middle, and putting all kinds of things on the ground.

Captain Chen's mother-Qin: "Dafu, you can accept it, the team just distributed food yesterday, every family has it, only your family doesn't have it, even if I borrow it." As he spoke, he put a small bag of wheat in Xing Dafu's hand.

The mother who delivered the baby also followed the Qin family: "Oh, Dafu, your three children were born through my hands, and my family didn't get much food, even if I gave these sweet potatoes to the children." ”

Uncle Fu, the tinkerer: "Dafu, no matter how you say that I am also the cousin of the son of Xiaorongxiao/aunt's sister, you have to call me a cousin, I have nothing to give, I heard that you/your mother don't even give you a pot, I have nothing to give, don't dislike this mended pot."

"Dafu, I'm a bit of a grain. ”

"Dafu, you can take a little sorghum. ”

。。。。。。。

People say that men don't flick when they have tears, Xing Dafu wiped his eyes and bowed deeply to everyone,

"Thank you, when you have any difficulties in the future, I, Xing Dafu, will definitely not stand aside and watch, children, you all come over. Xing Dafu called the three children standing aside.

"Children, if the people in the village have any difficulties in the future, as long as we can help, we must help, and we must not be ungrateful, remember?"

The two brothers said in unison, "Remember." ”

Xing Youyou also remembered, her eyes swept over these lovely people in front of her, and remembered them one by one, as well as the uncles who came to help build the thatched house a few days ago, Xing Youyou also remembered them one by one in her little head, and said in her heart, "The day of repaying the favor is very close." ”
