Chapter 18: A New Home

Along the way, Grandma's coercion and Xiao Man's "troublemaking" from the side finally made Ah Gong personally make three guarantees: first, he would never climb the high rock and go deep into the ravine; second, in the past, in order to guard the reservoir and collect medicine, Ah Gong would not go home at night, and when he wanted to go into the mountains, he would not see anyone for three or five days, and from now on, no matter what the situation, he must go home once a day; third, after the work of guarding the reservoir is done this year, he will not do it next year!

Ah Gong promised happily, but in his heart he really regretted losing this job, which was won by his good brother Mo Zhishu, the work is leisurely, and he earns a fixed seven points a day, and he can still have a lot of time to go up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs, how good!

He tried to fight, but the two women in the family were not easy to talk to, two to one, and the struggle was ineffective!

The reason why Mo Xiaoman did not let Ah Gong continue to guard the reservoir was because she knew that the new national policy was about to come down, and at the latest, the rural areas of the whole country would abolish the division of labor system, and the fields would be directly divided and contracted to households, and the farmers would be in charge of the fields themselves.

And Grandma simply doesn't want Ah Gong to guard the reservoir: she is old and lives alone in the wilderness, she can't feel him, she is worried about him, and she is always panicking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info didn't let him go to guard the reservoir, and worked with the production team at home, even if he earned less, so that the family could see each other every day.

Listening to Grandma's chatter, Ah Gong's face was full of guilt again, and he didn't squeak at all, thinking in his heart: The money he had finally accumulated, he originally wanted to take Grandma into the city to be hospitalized when it was cold, but this time it was all spent, and the old woman's eyes could not be treated. The old woman has suffered enough of the losses of the Mo family, and now she has Xiaoman, and she doesn't let herself go to live on the reservoir, because she wants to live a normal family life, for so many years, she has worked hard to earn some money, all for the brothers of the Mo family to start a family, but she has suffered the old woman, and when she can finally save some money for the old woman to treat her eyes, she has not been able to do so when she encounters such and such things...... The old woman is right, how long can you live in a lifetime? What is the use of having enough money to earn people but it is gone? Then stay with each other, as long as she is happy! As for the money, you can save it slowly, and if you have a house to live in, Xiaoman won't spend much money on studying, and it should be enough to save for three or five years!

Ah Gong drove the ox cart and directly pulled a cart of newly bought things back to the Zhiqing House, which surrounded a large courtyard, and the one-person-high wall was an earth rammed wall, brushed with mortar, and brushed with a layer of white lime water, because it was on the side of the highway, the slogan was written on the wall with red paint, and the wind and rain were blown all year round, and the imprint had faded, and the children were rubbing and scribbling, and they couldn't see what the words were for a while.

The double wooden courtyard door is very thick, and there is a lock hanging on it, Ah Gong took out the key to open the lock, pushed open the courtyard door, and said loudly with a smile: "Old woman, Xiaoman, this is our home, let's go home!"

Grandma happily stretched out her hand to her grandfather, Xiao Man was beside her, and the family of three walked into the yard with a smile.

Like the memory of the previous life, this yard is very wide, with three main houses, four left wing rooms, a total of seven tile houses, and the same width of the house is hardened with cement, which is what the fifth uncle and grandmother and Ah Gong said about the sunning grain, this sunning grain flat is large enough, and it serves as a point for the production team to dry the rice every summer and autumn. The large pear tree is on the right side of the yard, and the pear fruits on the tree have been picked, leaving the tree full of verdant leaves waving in the wind.

Seven or eight steps away from the pear tree, there is a well surrounded by bluestone strips, and a whole row of holly trees is planted on the side of the wall that enters the door, the branches and leaves are thick and green, and they are not trimmed and let them grow higher than the wall, just to cover the dust that escapes from the road outside the wall, and the wall opposite the main house is planted with a slip of roses, not against the wall, but carefully erected a shelf for the flower branches to climb, and then look at the two osmanthus trees planted in the open space on the left, and five or six neatly maintained vegetable furrows that make the soil finely broken and have no soil and soil, Xiao Man can't help but be surprised: it seems that one or two of the young people who have left are gardening and have a very serious attitude towards life, was sent to the countryside to live a hard life, and did not sink into resentment, it seems that he is still living a very happy life, and he is happy!

The vegetable furrow used to be a large sweet potato field, and the sweet potato vines were growing vigorously at this time, and some plants with round and large leaves were planted around the ground, which were crowded together like lotus leaves in the lotus field, which was taro.

I don't know where the intellectuals plucked the long stone strips, and paved a path to the end of the sweet potato field, where there are three small tiled houses, two for toilets and one for bathing.

Xiao Man looked around, while telling Grandma, Grandma was also very satisfied with everything in this yard.

Xiao Man and Ah Gong opened the seven rooms one by one to check and clean, only except for the two side rooms with some peeling ash layer on the wall brush, the others are fine, anyway, they can't finish living, the family discussed, they will leave the two rooms as warehouses to pile up sundries, because each room has a bed frame, can also be used as a guest room, the other two side rooms, one is temporarily used as a kitchen, and one Ah Gong said that he used to put medicinal herbs and locked it.

The three of them live in the main house, and the middle room is used as a living room, with two rooms on the left and right, one for Grandpa and Grandma, and one for Xiaoman.

Originally, it was a dormitory for educated youth, and the bed frames were ready-made, but they were all single beds, and Ah Gong picked a few bed frames with better wood, and used the hammer, saw, and nail that he just bought today to beat for a while, and modified two double beds, he and Grandma used one, Xiaoman used one, Grandma said that most of the children sleep badly, it doesn't matter if the bed is wider, and it is not easy to fall out of bed if she rolls.

As soon as Ah Gong heard this, he planned to add guardrails on both sides to Xiao Man's bed, but Xiao Man quickly refused, how could an eleven-year-old person fall out of bed, and sleep on such a bed with guardrails for her, and she must not be laughed at to death.

One of the grandparents and grandchildren wanted to put it on, and the other refused to let it, and the noise was mixed with the giggling laughter of grandma, and the empty and quiet courtyard was noisy and lively by the three people.

In the end, with the help of grandma, Xiaoman finally got rid of the trouble of sleeping in a "large crib".

After a busy day, I saw that at five o'clock in the afternoon, although there was a gentle breeze, the cement floor in the courtyard was exposed to the sun all day, emitting bursts of heat, and the courtyard still seemed a little stuffy.

Ah Gong also came to see the small well made of green bricks, and said that after two days, he would invite two younger brothers to help wash the well, drain the well water and then re-pave it with clean fine sand and gravel.

Ah Gong took the ox cart to the branch secretary's house to move back the things, and then returned the ox cart, and Grandma took out two catties of fruit candy bought in the commune supply and marketing cooperatives and two catties of fried peanuts and sunflower seeds weighed on the set, and asked Ah Gong to take them and distribute them to the children of the branch secretary's family to eat.

As for the soybean cake oil balls and open dates bought for Xiao Man, Xiao Man gnawed seven or eight eight along the way, and there were a few left, Ah Gong hung the basket on the wall, telling Xiao Man to take it down himself when he wanted to eat it.
