The sisters and brothers warmed two cakes and ate a bite. They all fell asleep on the broken bed early.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, before dawn, the silence got up. With a basket on his back and a woodcutter in his hand, he walked towards Daqingshan against the merciless cold wind.

Quiet is to clean up the broken house at the foot of the green mountain. The house was a two-room thatched house, and I heard that it was built by an old hunter in the village in the past. Then the old hunter was gone, and the house was always empty. Now that the quiet and their siblings had been kicked out, she had thought of this place last night, and although the house was a little dilapidated, it was fortunately ownerless. Tidy up, always shelter them from the wind and the rain. When she got through this and saved money, she built a new house.

The village was some distance from the foot of the mountain, and it was quiet for about a quarter of an hour, and although I had been mentally prepared, I was still startled by the two dilapidated thatched houses in front of me.

These are two thatched houses facing north and south. The outer wall skin has long been peeled off, revealing the adobe bricks inside, the door is hanging crookedly on the door frame, the window is long gone, the window paper only leaves a window frame, insisting on standing, the last shift, the thatch on the roof has long been lifted by the wind, only a small part remains, still sticking to the post. Quietly pushed open the wooden door and walked into the house, and the stove room came into view. There was a stone stove against the north wall, which seemed to be still usable, the ground was a little damp, and he quietly raised his head, looked at the roof without thatch, and didn't care about the sadness of spring and autumn, and raised his feet and walked towards the back room. Coming into the inner room, there is a big kang against the north wall, there is half a broken mat on the kang, and the ground is also potholed, but it is not damp, Quiet raised his head in surprise, and it turned out that the thatch on the roof of the inner room had not been blown over. After a rough look, I also knew that the most important thing now is to lay the roof first, and then block the window, so that people can live at night. I just don't know if this kang can still be hot? If it can be heated, it would be great, at least there is no need to worry about a few people freezing to death.

I had an idea in my heart, I took out the charter, and I didn't delay any more quietly. Turn around and walk towards the side of the mountain. There is a large area of thatch on the side of the mountain, and on weekdays, anyone in the village who repairs a roof and builds a shed comes here to cut it. Quiet first collected a basket of pine leaves, and then began to cut the thatch. By daylight, she had cut more than a dozen sheaves of thatch. It took two trips back and forth to bring the thatch back. After looking around, she quietly ran to the side and brought two large stones, stacked them against the wall, she stood on the big stones, threw the thatch one by one on the roof, and she herself climbed up carefully, opened the sheaves of thatch, and laid them flat on the roof, and spread the pine leaves that she had brought back on them. Finally, a layer of branches and stones was pressed on top of the pine leaves, and the roof was temporarily repaired.

After a clang, the broken wooden door was quietly straightened out. There is only one window left that has not been cleaned up, looking at this window quietly, some difficulties, she can't even find a piece of window paper at home, and she doesn't have a copper plate, what should I do? After thinking about it, I had to go and cut another bundle of thatch and come back, and weave a straw curtain out of thatch, and nail it to the window frame. It's a bit light-blocking, but it's better than being left open. Jing Jing went around and collected some dry soil and came back, and laid the house a little smoother, then closed the wooden door and turned around and walked towards the village.

On the way back, I quietly and carefully looked at the small village. The village and Daqing Mountain are not far away, but they are not close. At the head of the village there were several large willow trees, and beside the trees was a large road, which Quiet knew led to the town. On weekdays, the villagers go to the town to take this road, have spare money in their hands, and those who are willing to take the car can also wait under the willow tree, and Uncle Zi's family has an ox cart to return to the town, and there are two copper plates for one person and two copper plates for one trip. This is also one of the reasons why Uncle Bolt's family is in better conditions in this Qingshan Village.

By this time the village had already risen from the smoke of cooking, the crows of chickens, the barking of dogs, the shouts of adults, the cries of children... One after another, so lively.

The butcher shop at the entrance of the village also opened its door at this time, and Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law was snuggling in front of the door and munching melon seeds. Seeing Quiet coming from the foot of the mountain, the old man said: "Yo, Jing girl, this morning, what are you doing on the side of the mountain?" ”

Quietly raised her head and saw that it was Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law, so she said softly: "Auntie, don't you know?" A few of our brothers and sisters, yesterday by grandma, uncle, third uncle to drive out, and also with our sister and brother a few cut off relatives, now our sister and brother do not even have a place to live, no way, I have to clean up the two broken thatched houses at the foot of the mountain, so I can find a place to live first. He twisted his head to the side and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. This look looks so pitiful.

Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law slapped her thigh and said in a loud voice: "Hey, hey, poor boy, what did this force the child to be?" Thanks to the old money that your father earned to build the big brick house, but there is not even a single tile of your brother and sister. Is that black-hearted guy really made it? I'm afraid I don't even want that old face, right? ”

"Auntie, you are a good person, you just need to know, but it's hard to say. My younger brothers and sisters are still waiting for me, so I'll go home first, auntie, you're busy! Tranquility first issued a good person card to Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law, and then covered her face with her hands and staggered away. Quiet like this, just to sit down, their sisters and brothers were forced to split up and break off. It is also saved in the future, and some people will talk about unfilial piety.

Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law was quietly issued a good person card, and her heart was happy. I feel more and more pitiful for these children. Didn't you see that on weekdays, the quiet of the past was forced to cry and red eyes? This matter passed through the mouth of Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law, and it didn't take a day for the whole village to know.

Back at the old house, Quiet went straight to the backyard. At this time, Anxin and the two little ones had already gotten up, and breakfast was ready. Seeing that the silence came back, the four sisters and brothers washed their hands, ate breakfast, and began to pack their things. It's said to be packing things, but in fact, there is nothing to tidy up. A few torn clothes, a broken quilt, and the wooden box with the lock. There was also a pair of bows and arrows and a dagger hanging on the wall. Put these things in the back basket, quietly carry the back basket on your body, and hold the small wooden box in your hand. Anxin led the two little ones to follow behind her sister, and the four sisters and brothers walked to the front yard.

In the front yard, Mrs. An led her two daughters-in-law and girls, plus the golden phoenix of the big house were standing in the yard. Quiet knew that they were guarding against her, afraid that they would steal things out behind their backs. In fact, they are thinking too much, what can be in that thatched shed in the backyard?

For these people, Quiet didn't even give them a look. took his younger brothers and sisters and walked straight away.

When my wife saw that she was quiet and ignored them, she was so angry that her face was distorted. Li Guizhi and Zhang Cuihua were also angry, they thought that they would regret it a long time ago, and they didn't know how to cry and beg them. Unexpectedly, these little cubs were so tough that they left without saying a word to them. An Baozhu wanted to say a few words, ridiculing and sneering at them, but when she remembered the red-eyed appearance of Quiet yesterday, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

An Pozi's heart hurt, but after thinking about it, the big house at home, the land, and the sixty or seventy taels of silver in the money box were all right. Looking at the quiet sisters and brothers who were far away, they snorted angrily, turned around and went back to the house, and said with a curse in their mouths: "Little slut, dead girl, sooner or later, you won't die well, let you be hard, don't come to beg me when you can't eat, when you want to starve to death, beg me, I won't care..."

What do they think? How did Mrs. Ann curse? Didn't hear the silence? Even if they heard it, they would not pay attention to them, because by this time, the four siblings had already arrived at their new home.
