The spring tide brings rain and comes in a hurry

Shenjiawan is so quiet all year round, except for the lively atmosphere of the daily card game in the hall, basically although Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, he does not hear the sound of chickens and dogs.

At the beginning of the year, Shen Hua took advantage of the good weather to go to the roof and added tiles to the leaking place, and finally kept the hearth dry under the continuous spring rain.

Qingming has not arrived, and the sting is terrifying. The paddy fields are still growing with aquatic plants that have just emerged for a long time, and the cattle of the big-eyed family are chewing on the newly grown thatch on the mountain beams, Dashun is not singing his song, and his black lips are turning up and down from time to time, revealing the small stones that have been ground by him in his mouth.

Shen Hua stood on the stone bridge over the stream at the edge of the village. I couldn't open my eyes in a daze. Not long after the New Year, the daughter-in-law left. This time, it was not that he played a temper and returned to his parents' house, but that his daughter-in-law really wanted to leave him and leave this poor place that she couldn't stand anymore. The cigarette in Shen Hua's hand had already been extinguished, he didn't realize it, and subconsciously put the cigarette to his mouth only to find that the cigarette had been extinguished.

This made him very angry, full of anger and emotions as if he had found a place to vent, standing at the head of the bridge and scolding at the stream. The people in the village looked at the bridge, showing different expressions.

Shen Xiaopeng's clenched fist could only be released weakly in the end. The feeling of weakness made Shen Xiaopeng even more uncomfortable. He looked at Chenchen, who was playing marbles with other children in the village in the square, and suddenly felt infinite envy and anger.

Chenchen was inexplicably dragged home by Shen Xiaopeng, and happened to meet Shen Hua who came back from the bridge. Shen Hua saw Chen Chen, who was crying next to Shen Xiaopeng and him, and the nameless fire came out again, and he raised his hand and gave Shen Xiaopeng a slap. Shen Xiaopeng was stunned by this slap, Chen Chen was also stunned, and the crying stopped. Shen Hua saw the red five fingerprints on Shen Xiaopeng's face, and wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it, so he could only scold angrily: "Dog's ......"

Shen Xiaopeng looked at the back of Shen Hua leaving, and his bright eyes were full of various looks. Surprised, disappointed, angry, anguish...... These emotions can only be found in people who have experienced vicissitudes, and when they appear in the eyes of a teenager who is less than thirteen years old, they are so shocking.

Shen Xiaopeng bit his lip to prevent himself from feeling wronged, and tried to put the tears that were about to flow from his eyes to his heart. Silently turned around and silently decided: No one in this life wants to see me shed a single tear again!

Chenchen didn't know what was wrong with his father and brother, but he could feel that he was being made very uncomfortable by them. Especially when his brother walked away, Chenchen felt that it was very cold today. Not long after Shen Hua sat down, Xianlong and Xianmeng came to Shen Hua's house with their notebooks.

Shen Hua glanced at them and knew why they came. He knew from the conversations of several people in Libao that the village had decided to build a road.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. Shenjiawan is already one of the few poor and remote areas in the city. I don't know how many people's minds are rooted in the idea of wanting to get rich. Nowadays, it should be very popular to say that roads should be built, but I don't know why, after the matter of road construction was officially proposed by the village committee, many people rose up and refused. This makes it strange for the designers of the cities that come to design and build roads. The town government has investigated many times and has not been able to find a specific cause.

For road construction, Shen Hua agrees and supports. But Shen Hua is also very skeptical about road construction. Although it was said on TV that there would be a "village-to-village" project, and the government was responsible, the village only needed to pay a small amount of money. But who pays for this small amount of money? In the town, in the village, or in the sheep?

If you want to pluck the feathers from the sheep, you still need the sheep to be obedient, especially if the plucking is not a sheep's hair, the village cannot but deal with it carefully.

"Shen Hua, the main reason I came to you today is to build roads, you are one of the few people in Shenjiawan who have read books, you should understand the truth that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Not to mention anything else, why can't you sell osmanthus flowers every year, it's not that this place is too partial, and every year Han Slender and a few people block the news, and in the end they can only listen to them. Xianlong stopped talking and handed Shen Hua a cigarette. Shen Hua took it expressionlessly, Xianlong took a puff of cigarette and said: "Your house has been sold for almost 2,000 yuan this year, if this road is repaired, it will definitely be more than this price in the future!" ”

Xian Meng didn't speak, his eyes were obscured by the rising smoke, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. But since he came with Xianlong, then their position must be the same. Shen Hua is one of the few people in Shenjiawan who has read and can read, which sometimes makes him seem very important. But more often than not, people deliberately avoid this. When they got together, they talked more about how many sheaves of grass the cows ate a day, and how many pounds of fat the pigs in the coop grew in a month. Xianlong said these things at this time, which made Shen Hua very useful.

What made Shen Hua even more useful was the last few words of Xianlong. Shen Hua doesn't think it's very important now that he has read a book, but the increase in income makes Shen Hua very excited.

"So what are you going to do? You must know that the coffins of the Mao Xianwei family are ready, as long as you build the road and bury the field on the side of the road in their house, the two old immortals in the house will lie in the middle of the road! Do you have a law? Shen Hua squinted and raised his eyebrows in disdain.

"The hairy fairy monster family, to be honest, I can't help them. But they make such a fuss, but they don't want to get money. I just came back from the town this morning, and the town made it very clear that the town government should make the level of all the good fields, houses, and saplings damaged by road construction clear to each township, and then compensate them according to the prices announced by the government. ”

Hearing that the town government would compensate for the loss of farmland, Shen Hua's half-squinted eyes lit up. Xianmeng, who had not spoken, also became energetic. Shen Hua looked at Xianmeng's appearance and knew that Xianmeng didn't know about it before.

The most satisfied was Xianlong, he happily popped out the cigarette in his hand, and then said: "As long as the money is in the hands of those people like Mao Xianwei, I believe they will not be able to make trouble." ”

"That's right, but since the government pays for the land, the money for road construction ......" Xianmeng is the most brilliant in the whole village, although he didn't read any books, but he was a thief and a thief. Xianlong just said a little, and he guessed the following words! Shen Hua also suddenly woke up when he heard Xianmeng's question, and looked at Xianlong with unblinking eyes. Xianlong smiled. "It's already very laborious for the town to preside over road repair, and after compensating the villages for money, there will definitely not be much money to build roads."

"Then the road will not be built. From Shenjiawan to Huayuan Street, it will cost at least one million. It's almost the same as selling Shen Jiawan. When Shen Hua heard that he was going to pay for the road repair, he couldn't help but speak out.

"The town is also aware of the difficulties in the villages below, especially our Shenjiawan. The money in the town is not enough to repair all the villages and towns, so only most of them can be repaired. We have been repairing it all the way to Lao Zhoukou, and the rest needs our village to raise money. From Lao Zhoukou to the village less than three miles, I estimate that there are at most 50,000 or 60,000. ”

"How are you going to come here for these fifty or sixty thousand? It's not a small amount of money, and there isn't so much in the village for a year! ”

"This is the thoughtfulness of the town, there is no money in the village, there are mountains, land, and trees, these can be turned into money!" Before Shen Hua could react, Xian Meng already understood what Xianlong meant. My mind began to spin at a rapid pace.

Xianlong knew the shrewdness of Xianmeng, and bringing him was to let him know that it was profitable. And definitely lucrative!

The next thing is simple, Xianlong smoked a cigarette leisurely, just interjected a few words from time to time, most of the time it was Xian Meng and Shen Hua chatting, and Shen Hua's appearance had already made Xianlong very satisfied. As long as Shen Hua agrees to go to various houses with Xianmeng to talk about road construction. You just have to pinch it on the sidelines! Xianlong believes that the road construction will be decided this month if this trend continues. But things didn't always go as planned. Today is not a very good time. Shen Hua really wants to make money, and has always wanted to, especially when his daughter-in-law ran away, Shen Hua thought about it countless times in his heart: When Lao Tzu is rich, see how you regret it! However, Shen Hua only had the courage to think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it. He was afraid that if he had no money all the time and was laughed at by others, it would be embarrassing!

"Lao Tzu can't be rich, you don't want to be rich!"

Shen Hua saw the expressions on Xianlong and Xianmeng's faces, and his heart was suddenly unhappy. Xianlong said that making money was of course very much in line with Shen Hua's wishes, but Shen Hua knew that it was the two of them who made the most money by selling gui every year. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I didn't let Xian Meng continue, Shen Hua said: "I don't object to building roads!" I can't control what the village does, anyway, as long as you get the other sixteen households and the dozen or so households that still want to go to the house, I promise to agree immediately. The sudden change in Shen Hua's attitude caught Xian Meng and Xianlong off guard.

"Shen Hua, you see that everyone gives you face in the village, if you come forward to join us, then this matter will definitely be ...... soon"

"I can't intervene in this matter, besides, brother, what are you and Xianmeng afraid of! Not long ago, a relative in Jinjiawan said to take me out, and I want to go out too. So I might not be able to help with that. Shen Hua was telling the truth, he really wanted to go out, but there were still two children in the house who couldn't make up their minds.

Xianlong and Xianmeng could only leave when they heard Shen Hua say this. Xianlong went back to the house, sat on a stool, gritted his teeth, and scolded Shen Hua for being a pig. Xian Meng took out his almost broken Nokia, flipped through the contacts in his mobile phone, and kept calling. Then he smiled happily. Shen Hua still didn't get out of Shenjiawan for a short time. His hair looked like a clump of grass from afar, and he had been wearing clothes for almost a month, but fortunately, not long after the winter of 2002, the weather was not very hot, and there was no heavy smell on his body. He looked like a sick man under the covers. He's not sick, but he's sick. The blackened quilt covers and sheets were damp, cold and hard, and only where Shen Hua was lying was still a little warm.

There is no rain in the back room, and even sunlight does not leak in. The only ventilated window had been blocked by empty boxes. There is no light, and the dark environment melts away without even time! Shen Xiaopeng is back today, he is already in high school in the city, and he usually doesn't come back even if he is on vacation. One is to save fares, and the other is that you really don't want to come back. Looking at the mess in the old house, Shen Xiaopeng didn't even have the mood to frown. This has been a common thing for the past four years.

Chenchen boarded at a primary school in a neighboring village, and the holiday was out at 5 p.m., when he was looking for bamboo shoots on the mountain road home. While looking for bamboo shoots, he thought that the bamboo shoots were smoked, and then went to Uncle Xianmeng's house to ask for a handful of sauerkraut. Sauerkraut water bamboo shoots! Think of the sour water that seduces appetite coming out of Chenchen's mouth! After living on campus for a week, the soybeans have made Chenchen unbearable. Chenchen couldn't choose, at this time, there were only soybeans at home suitable for steaming rice at school, and there were not even pickle sticks that I was tired of eating before. Thinking about the pickle stick, Chenchen's stomach rang very cooperatively. In order to save rice for steamed rice, lunch on the day of the holiday is not eaten in the morning!

Shen Xiaopeng had already cleaned up the house. He sat by the stove that he hadn't used in a long time. He glanced at the upper room, then went on in a daze. Until the night completely falls.

Chenchen went home and saw that the dilapidated door of the old house was open, thinking that Shen Hua had gotten up.

"Dad, look, I smoked a lot of bamboo shoots......"

Shen Hua didn't answer him, Shen Xiaopeng turned the lamp away, and the instantaneous light made Shen Xiaopeng's brows furrow.

"Brother! How did you get back? Chenchen was very happy, although he was very afraid of Shen Xiaopeng, but he hadn't seen Shen Xiaopeng for more than a month, which still made him miss a little.

Shen Xiaopeng heard a cough from the back room, so he said, "Go back to the house and get the money!" "Helping Chenchen take out the bamboo shoots in his schoolbag, Shen Xiaopeng went to Uncle Xianmeng's house to ask for a handful of sauerkraut.

"Don't you have firewood?"

"I ran out last week!"

"Go to the bathroom and bring some planks upstairs."

Chenchen took the flashlight to the toilet next door, and after a while, there was a sound of climbing. Shen Xiaopeng took the water ladle to load the rice. The rice in the paper bucket was already damp together, and Shen Xiaopeng saw that there were small moths in it, and knew that the rice was wormed.

When Chenchen brought back the plank, Shen Xiaopeng had just finished picking rice worms.

Pouring rice, adding water, and closing the lid, Shen Xiaopeng used a firewood knife to chop the wooden board into small thin strips, tore off a piece of paper, and carefully lit the fire. The gradually rising flames gave the room some warmth. When Shen Xiaopeng heard Chenchen say that his grades were not bad in school, he didn't ask anymore, and only said that he wanted him to study hard, learn smarter, and don't think like his father!

Chenchen didn't know how to respond to Shen Xiaopeng, so he stared at the flames in the furnace in a daze.

"You see that you are like your father, you can say what you want, don't be as silent as a stuffy gourd!" Shen Xiaopeng's voice was extremely low, and only he and Chenchen could hear it.

Shen Xiaopeng strained out the rice soup and used chopsticks to evenly mix the rice grains in the pot, so that each rice grain was evenly attached to the edge of the pot. After about two or three minutes, the enticing aroma of rice wafted out from the cracks in the lid of the pot.

"You cut the sauerkraut, I'll stir-fry it later." Shen Xiaopeng carefully controlled the fire, and through the aroma of rice, he knew that the pot was forming at the whole time, and the pot would burn after the fire. Chenchen ran to the door with a kitchen knife and put the kitchen knife on the cyan whetstone at the door to sharpen it. The cyan whetstone leaves a dull yellow rust mark. From Chenchen's behavior, it can be seen that he is already very skilled.

Chenchen chopped vegetables, Shen Xiaopeng peeled bamboo shoots, the movements of the two of them were very neat, and everything was done in less than five minutes. Shen Xiaopeng could only be glad that there was still oil and salt in the house, otherwise he really didn't know if he could make a dinner!

Boiling the fire, heating the pan, pouring the oil, the black-brown sauerkraut is accompanied by the white and tender new bamboo shoots, and the hot oil is mixed together to create an attractive aroma.

Shen Hua sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the firelight outside. For a moment he slowly moved, reaching into his jacket pocket to find a cigarette. After touching it for a while, I found out that there was none! He also remembered that Shen Lin's family no longer smoked him on credit. "Go and get him up to eat!" Shen Xiaopeng asked Chenchen to call Shen Hua while putting MSG. Chenchen went into the back room and turned on the light, and when he saw Shen Hua sitting motionless, he couldn't help but feel scared. I can only timidly say that I have eaten.

Shen Hua stared at Chenchen. Then he answered. Slowly got up, brushed his tangled hair with his fingers, and washed his face with a basin of water.

The rice is the best pot rice. The pot is brown and crispy, and it looks very appetizing. Coupled with the sour, fragrant and tempting sauerkraut stir-fried water bamboo shoots, this should be a very delicious and hearty dinner.

Shen Xiaopeng ate in silence, he wanted to ask for money, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by Shen Hua if he said it. So he decided not to say anything, and planned to go back to school early tomorrow morning, and then go to the school to collect the plastic bottles and waste books and papers in the school, which should be enough to survive next month, Shen Hua ate very slowly, and frowned every time he chewed. finally finished eating a bowl of rice, and his face collapsed longer than the cliff of the list. Shen Xiaopeng looked at him, got up and poured himself rice soup and prepared to sit in front of the stove to eat. Shen Hua stretched out the bowl to Shen Xiaopeng, Shen Xiaopeng looked at it, took the bowl and poured the rice soup, handed it to Shen Hua, and sat alone in front of the stove drinking pot porridge.

Chenchen ate very carefully, and he found that the sauerkraut fried water bamboo shoots were not as tempting as he imagined. Even the pot rice that I had always wanted to eat became very difficult to chew. Chenchen was afraid of this feeling, he remembered that this was the atmosphere in the house before his mother left. Chenchen didn't dare to think about it anymore, he would cry if he thought about it again. Although he is still a primary school student, he is already in the fifth grade. You must know that Shen Xiaopeng had already vowed when he was in the fifth grade that he would not let anyone see him cry. Chenchen didn't know about this, he didn't want to cry, but he felt that he was so old, and it would be very shameless to cry like a child! To have egg on your face! It's ugly!

The meal will be eaten eventually. Shen Hua put the dishes and chopsticks on the historic small dining table, and the person walked out. Shen Xiaopeng looked at Shen Hua's figure disappearing into the night, and scolded angrily. It's just that I don't know if he's scolding Shen Hua or himself!

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Shen Hua come back, Shen Xiaopeng and Chenchen washed up and went to sleep. A tea tree is added to the hearth, which can be boiled for a long time to ensure that the water in the pot will not get cold quickly.

Late at night, Shen Xiaopeng felt that someone had entered the bed, and he knew who it was, so he didn't open his eyes, moved his body and fell asleep again. But what can I dream about this night?

Breakfast was made by Shen Hua. I ordered some noodles casually, and the taste was definitely not good. It can be said that people know that they have let go of oil and salt. "You'll be back next week! Something I want to explain to you? Shen Hua sat on the threshold with a bowl.

Shen Xiaopeng put the raised chopsticks into the bowl.

"What's the matter?"

"It's not arranged yet, I can't tell you until the news from your sister and your Uncle Bai is decided."

"You're going to Guangdong?"

"Your sister said your mom was already over there!"

Speaking of his mother, Shen Xiaopeng was silent, and Chenchen also stopped.

The early morning wind was very cool, and Shen Hua swept in front of the door and sneezed loudly.

"How long are you going?" "I don't know, I have to earn some money when I go. Look at this house, you don't know how long you can live! ”

Chenchen heard that Shen Hua was going to Guangdong to work. Chenchen suddenly felt at a loss! He looked up at the old house. The beams were still so black, especially on the stove. The iron nails nailed to it had not hung bacon and bacon for several years, and the nails were covered in deep dust. The porcelain blocks on the beams were secretly taken down by Chenchen to make several toys before, and now the neat row has become like an old woman's teeth, sparsely pulled. The rain gutter of the eaves was still dripping water drop by drop, and it made a dull "poof" and "poof" sound when it fell on the table above. This home is still so broken, why is it getting colder and colder? Chenchen couldn't figure it out. He felt that the noodles in the bowl were getting colder and colder, so he stopped looking at the old house and quickly ate all the noodles in the bowl.

Shen Xiaopeng went back to school, and when he was in the car, he found a lot of money in his pocket, ten yuan, five yuan, and more than one! Shen Xiaopeng clutched the money very tightly! It's as tight as someone choking their throats! Shen Xiaopeng let out a heavy breathing sound.

Shen Hua is gone, and the so-called things to explain are nothing more than to tell Shen Xiaopeng what else is at home, and where his land, fields, and mountains are located, and the most important thing is to find out where those osmanthus flowers are in his house.

These things don't need to be explained in great detail. Shen Xiaopeng basically knows that saying it again is nothing more than wanting to emphasize it again. How to say that Shen Hua is still the pillar of this family. Although the pillar is a little bent, it is not broken. Chenchen didn't know when Shen Hua left. When he came home from vacation, his cousin Brother Zhi came to him and told him that he would stay in the future. Chen Chen knew that Shen Hua had left.

Shen Hua passed by Xianlong's house when he was leaving, and heard a group of people in his house arguing. After listening to a few words roughly, Shen Hua understood that it was for the purpose of building roads and covering mountains. Shangwulong and Xiawulong have not been negotiated, and the prices of people in Xiawulong and Baoshan have not been negotiated. The biggest trouble is still the town government and the villagers. The town government spends money to compensate the village, and some people in the village who have fields along the road construction route seize the time to plant trees and flowers in the fields. Then claim compensation from the government. There are even some people who build houses on top of them, and build a toilet with a few stones, waiting for the government's money to turn it into a gold house.

It's a long way to go! Shen Hua shook his head and walked out of the village entrance with a smile and caught up with the train bound for the train station. After leaving the mountain in front of the mountain, Shenjiawan with ten miles of flowers!
