Chapter 60: The Difficult Sutra

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Liang Chuan led a group of people back to Helu Village. He Lu is a small place, something happens to the second village, the whole village can know, people are idle, who is the parent and whose family is short, is the best conversation after dinner.

The fire in Liang Chuan's house burned so fiercely that even the poor master of the county government was alarmed, and he came down to see the fire scene the next day. Liangchuan A group of people were mighty, and they were followed by a dog, and those who didn't know thought they were busy going to the market or something.

When Liang Chuan came back, he passed by Zheng Kee's grocery store, and he bought several sets of daily tools such as axes, knives, hoes, baskets, baskets, and fire sickles that he needed every day, which was necessary for life and could not be missing. These things don't look valuable, but it's really life-threatening to buy at this time, and each piece adds up to several dollars.

When he checked out, Liang Chuan was shocked, and asked the shopkeeper carefully to calculate carefully, how can this money be so easy to make, and it costs so much money to buy a few hoes? However, Liang Chuan thought about it carefully, and it was reasonable: first of all, the output of iron in this era is not high, and iron tools are still relatively valuable, and in this era, a hoe can do a lot of farm work, and you can feed many people just by farm work. When the government resettles the displaced people, it can give the displaced people a set of production tools, which is quite a new way for the displaced people to live.

Then on the way, I saw that the cookcake seller was good, and I bought a lot of cookbread as dry food, and brought a small mention of oranges.

Back on the ruins of his home, there was some charcoal ash left on the ground. The firewood that used to be full of firewood is now all slag, and it can't be used. Liang Chuan arranged for Ye Xiaochai and his group of women to move to clean up the ruins, and now these construction wastes must be cleaned up. After cleaning up the slag of the house, go to the thatch on the bank of the river and take a few more cars back, the thatch will be tied up to build a grass house temporarily, the house is still in my mind, the weather is colder these days, and there must be a place to sleep first.

Liang Chuan pulled the house, found out the earthen jar where he put the duck eggs, the fire burned everything, the earthen jar couldn't burn, I don't know if the Songhua eggs inside were broken.

Liang Chuan took his brother Zhao to the place where his sister-in-law lived, and when he bought land, he had to negotiate the price with others. Besides, it's been so long since I've accepted someone to recruit a younger brother as a younger brother, and I haven't said thank you to others, which seems a little unreasonable.

Brother Zhao's home is not far from Liang Chuan's home, and you can see it from the courtyard, and He Lu's original population is not much. When Liang Chuan arrived at Brother Zhao's house, his eldest brother was squatting on the threshold and inserting his hands in a daze, and when he saw Brother Zhao and Liang Chuan coming back, he didn't take it seriously, and twisted his head as if he didn't see anything.

On the night of the death of Liang Chuan's family, many villagers in the vicinity found out about the situation, and they did not want to come to put out the fire, but to come to see the excitement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they opened the door, they not only saw the firelight but also the knife light, and they all saw the appearance of the second master leading people to cut people with knives! All of a sudden, they were so frightened that they shrank back into the house, and watched the excitement and score the occasion, is this lively, this is murder and arson!

Liang Chuan saw that this brother and sister-in-law didn't have a good face, and said in his heart that this sister-in-law is really not a good thing, the younger brother hasn't been home for so long, and now he doesn't even say a word of greeting when he sees him home, so he still doesn't see it?

Brother Zhao had long been desperate for this sister-in-law, so he didn't care about her anymore, so he led Liang Chuan into the house directly.

Brother Zhao's father was sitting on a stool, and when he saw Brother Zhao coming back, he didn't say anything, sitting on the stool like a demented old man, looking at the ground with blank eyes. Although it was daytime, Zhaodi's house was pitch black, the walls and floors were covered with greasy stains, and the house was a mess, as if no one had ever taken care of it.

Brother Zhao is also surnamed Zheng, like the third uncle, He Lu actually has a lot of miscellaneous surnames, including Li, Zheng, Meng, Luo, Huang, He, and the surname He with the largest number of mouths. This is not a native ancient village, and most of the ancestors of the villagers were actually displaced people who moved from the north to escape the war.

Liang Chuan only knew that Liang Chuan's sister-in-law was not good, and he didn't expect that the environment of Zhaodi's family was so bad, a good home would not be taken care of, it would be like a pigsty, it was rare to be like a pigsty, if he didn't want to stay at home.

Liang Chuan carried those oranges, put them on the edge of the stool where Brother Zhao's father was sitting, and said: "Brother Zhao's father is really sorry, our villagers haven't come to walk around for so long, there have been a lot of things at home recently, your family recruits a good brother, recently do some work with me, and come to visit your old man today?" ”

At this time, I only heard a violent sound of pots and pans hitting in the room, and as soon as Zhao's father heard this movement, he was already unenergetic, lowered his head deeper, and his dry lungs like bellows began to cough.

A collision in the room stopped, and a fat woman with a fat head and big ears came out of it, and when the woman saw Liang Chuan, she first sneered, and then teased: "Yo, whose guest is here, it turned out to be the third child next door." ”

As soon as Liang Chuan heard this, his words were prickly, and the thorns were sour, and he was looking for trouble at first glance, and his mouth was not ambiguous, so he directly pushed back and said: "Yo, sister-in-law, why haven't you seen you for many days, this posture is becoming more and more slender and graceful?" ”

Brother Zhao was originally afraid of his sister-in-law, but when he heard Liang Chuan's unforgiving mouth burst out, he almost didn't laugh on the spot, and he held his smile in his mouth, making his face flush.

When Zhao's sister-in-law heard that Liang Chuan dared to make fun of her figure, Zhaodi's little brother-in-law turned his elbow out to help him laugh at him, and he was angry, and it was not good to take Liang Chuan, pointing at Zhao's nose and scolding directly: "Okay, you are an idle lazy person, your eldest brother has to support this family alone, working day and night, you are good, you are out fishing every day, and you don't want to help your eldest brother share a penny. ”

Brother Zhao is an honest man, where is he talking to his sister-in-law who dares him, it's strange if he is not torn apart, his sister-in-law scolded him on the nose, and swallowed the smile just now back into his stomach, and his face was so boring to pestle there.

Brother Zhao and Brother Zhao's father are probably used to this kind of scene, and they didn't want to make a noise, so they just passed through it, but today there was an outsider named Liang Chuan, who scolded too badly for fear that it wouldn't be good, and the old man couldn't stand it, so he moved his mouth, raised his eyelids and looked at his daughter-in-law, and said, "Say a few words. ”

The anachronistic words of Zhao's brother and father undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and the sister-in-law's anger exploded, and as soon as the direction of her fingers changed, she immediately pointed the finger at Zhao's father, and began to scold with her throat: "You are old. . . Before he could finish scolding, Liang Chuan saw how this smell was wrong, and he came to talk about things, how did he come to quarrel, and if this quarrel continues, let alone buying land, it is estimated that it will not be easy to enter even the door of their house in the future.

Liang Chuan took an arrow step and rushed to the middle of the old man and his sister-in-law, and gently pressed his sister-in-law's hand down, and said with countless folds on his face: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my little brother has something to discuss with you today." ”

The sister-in-law snorted and said, "Discuss a fart!" There is still something in this house that can be taken out, the old and small nests are all eaten dry rice, and there is no useful thing. ”

Liang Chuan said directly to the point: "The little brother's family accidentally gave it yesterday, it's getting colder and colder, and there is no place to stay, I want to build a bigger house, no, I want to discuss with you to see if I can give the land next to us to the little brother." ”

When Zhao Brother-in-law heard Liang Chuan's words, she looked at Liang Chuan twice, and said, "No wonder I said, why can't I see your nest when I went out to urinate at night this morning, and I dared to burn it down with a fire." I said three, I remember that you couldn't beat a with three sticks, how can you be so eloquent now, what medicine did your lady give you, and share a little with me, I will also give our dead ghost a meal. Not long ago, I didn't just say that you went into the mountain and fell disabled, how can the wind blow on your head, and you have money? Isn't it that there is no money to treat it when it is carried back and waiting for death, and there is still money to buy land and build a house? ”

This trick brother and sister-in-law look fierce, those are even more like cannons, a mouth absolutely does not want to fall into the wind, and a series of words are like a rat running out of a bottomless pit, endlessly, Liang Chuan knows that no matter how you fight with this kind of person, it is only yourself who loses the price, and said: "Sister-in-law, give me a little even, you can make a price!" ”

Zhaodi's sister-in-law is a person who hates the poor and loves the rich in her bones, and after marrying into the Zheng family, she is afraid of a hard life, she doesn't have a penny in her pocket, and she usually doesn't manage the housework. ”

Liang Chuan said: "Follow the road to Fengshan Township outside, next to my house, there are not many, just one acre of land." ”

"It's the piece of land next to your house, it's easy to say, I don't know how much money you pay San'er?"

The eldest brother, who sat on the threshold and didn't say a word for a morning, finally spoke when he heard that Liang Chuan wanted to buy the land next to his house, but he didn't have much confidence in his words: "That piece of land is going to be reserved for my father as a cemetery, don't sell it!" ”

The sister-in-law was not happy, pinched her waist, walked to the eldest brother Zhao, and pointed to his head and scolded directly: "You are a soft worm and don't sell land, you make some money for the old lady, your father is about to starve to death, if it weren't for the old lady and I are struggling to support this tattered situation, your grandmother would have to go to the street to ask for food, why do you keep that piece of broken land?" Give your old ghost a hundred years later, your old ghost has not entered the ground, and the old lady will starve to death in this kennel before you! How many days can you see how many days the rice at home can be cooked? If you have the ability not to sell the land, go and get the rice for the old lady first! ”

Liang Chuan looked a little unreliable, this is his own family again, if he turns around and takes their land, his eldest brother and his father are not happy, it is not hurting the harmony, so he said: "Hey, look at this situation, your family also has to think about it first, I will go home first, it's really not good, forget it." ”

When the sister-in-law saw that Liang Chuan was leaving, she was also anxious, so she grabbed Liang Chuan and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go, San'er, I have the final say in this family, and you will sell this land for two dollars." ”

Liang Chuan said: "I don't have so much money with me now, so I'll go back to Yiniang to get some money first, and then discuss when I come back?" ”

"I said San'er, then you can hurry up, the price is easy to discuss!"
