Chapter Seventy-Five: Help Repair the Railing
Zhao Dashan ran into the mountains and forests in one breath, and met Uncle Huang who was repairing the railing.
"Third uncle, repair the railing." Even though he had been so excited by the news of Qian Duoduo's proposal that he had lost his mind, when he saw Third Uncle Huang, he still calmed down quickly.
"Dashan, have you eaten it? Just come over and help me hold the railing. Huang Laosan looked up and saw that it was Zhao Dashan, who was not polite, and directly beckoned him to come over to help.
Zhao Dashan walked over and held on to the railing, and watched as Uncle Huang picked up a stone and nailed a wooden stick down.
"Third uncle, I'll come." said that Zhao Dashan was going to take over.
"No, no, Shi Bingshou, I'll do it. Why didn't you go to Leizi and them to play, what are you doing running up the mountain alone. ”
"Oh, I saw Soybean follow you up the mountain just now, I came to ask Soybean about something." Zhao Dashan glanced around the mountains and forests, but did not see the figure of soybeans.
Huang Laosan stopped and looked around: "Doudou?" If you were still there just now, you should go in and pick up walnuts. ”
"How are you four doing in Dongyang County, you're so young! The heart is too big, this step is a bit big! Huang Laosan said that he felt that his attitude might be wrong, so he quickly changed his tone.
"Dashan, I have known your father since childhood, not to mention growing up together, I can be regarded as watching you grow up. Your father went early, and the third uncle didn't teach you, but you and Leizi are good, just like brothers, the third uncle said a few words to you, don't take it to heart. ”
"Hey, third uncle, I'll treat you like my father, you just have to say that we don't do well. If you do something wrong, you can just smoke me like a thunderbolt. Zhao Dashan humbly lowered his head and seriously held on to the crooked guardrail in his hand.
"You didn't discuss it with your family this time, you directly bought a shop and land in Dongyang County, and spent all the money you spent on going to sea for a few years. I and your Grandpa Huang have no bottom in our hearts. Speaking of this, Huang Laosan stood up straight and looked at Zhao Dashan.
"Dashan, we are a farmer, and you are taking too big a step. Do the math, how much good land will you buy for a few thousand taels of silver? If...... If you ......" Huang Laosan wanted to say that he would lose money, but he was afraid that the New Year would be unlucky, so he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
"It's not long-winded, you're still young, it's okay to go out, but you can't do this, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step. At least I should have come back to buy some fertile land first, and no matter what happened in the future, there would be a way out. ”
Zhao Dashan looked at Third Uncle Huang's face blackened by the wind and frost: "Third Uncle, it's okay, aren't we still young, it's a big deal to start all over again." ”
"The mountains." Huang Laosan held back his anger and snorted: "You are already twenty-one, when your uncle was as old as you, Leizi ran all over the ground." Is it easy for your mother to pull the three of you brothers and sisters? It's right that you went to Dongyang County to open a trading house, but it's wrong that you didn't even discuss it. ”
"You are different from Leizi, Leizi still has me, he is my son, he is a failure, and when he comes back, he also has him to eat and drink dozens of acres of land in my hands Huang Laosan, which is enough for him to raise children."
"What about you? The few acres of land left by your father are rented to others, and you can only barely be hungry, and your mother is frugal just so that your brothers and sisters can live a good life. You are the eldest son, you can't be wrong, if you take a wrong step, the whole family will suffer with you, have you thought about it? ”
Speaking of this, Huang Laosan couldn't help but gasp slightly, he usually doesn't say much, he drank some wine at noon today, and he was busy here for a while, and the wine was a little high at the moment.
"Uncle." Zhao Dashan looked at the man in front of him and was a little teary-eyed. He was only twelve years old when his father died, and it can be said that basically many principles of life have not been taught to him.
After my father died, even my closest uncles and grandparents calculated against them, and no one told him that you should be good, so that your mother and your younger brothers and sisters could be protected. He doesn't need to be told these truths, he knows them.
But no one knew that he was afraid, he was afraid that he was not strong enough, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to support his younger siblings and mother. His desire for money has always been stronger than that of the three of them.
Before coming back, he planned all the money in his hand and gave his younger brother 500 taels, so that he could buy land and build a house, marry a wife and have children, and not worry about food and drink in the future. Leave some for my sister, and buy some land to marry a little richer, so that she doesn't have to go to her mother-in-law's house to see people's faces. Leave a little for your mother, and you don't have to worry about supporting the elderly in the future.
For the rest, he kept some of his own land to buy some land, and then took out some of it with Leizi, and they first bought a boat to run around Nanshan Town, first earned a few years of hard money, set up a home, and after a few years, he could earn a good income, buy land, or open a store.
When did he start, he lost his heart, he took out his sister's dowry silver, his mother's pension money, and his brother's money to buy land and build a house and marry his daughter-in-law and invested it in the Ark Cargo Store.
It's because Doudou's bright eyes when he talks about how to do the goods store, whether it is the three big boats driven by Huang Mi's marriage to the Tu family, or his little girl who was instructed by Aunt Huang to do this, he is reluctant to feel distressed.
He felt that his little girl was better suitable, and he was reluctant to let her be taken care of by others, so he wanted to marry her even more and try his best to give her the best, was he wrong?
Looking at Zhao Dashan, whose face was slightly red and confused in front of him, Huang Laosan regretted it a little, his words today were a bit too much, and they were a little heavy.
Dashan is a good boy, and the goods store they run is also running very well, and he shouldn't have hit him like this.
"Mountain, mountain." Huang Laosan tentatively called out twice to wake up Zhao Dashan, who was in a daze.
"Ah, uncle, you called me?" Zhao Dashan raised his head and looked at Third Uncle Huang.
"If you are in a hurry to find Doudou, you can go over and look for it in the walnut forest, Doudou should be over there." Huang Laosan couldn't bear to ask this child to help him, where would he teach the child, don't lead a good child astray.
Maybe what they did was right, and after all, they are old, and they are a little forward-looking, so it's better to be young!
"Don't worry, I'll help you get this piece out. What else to do, you say, I'll get it. "Zhao Dashan has completely sobered up, he is not suitable to see Doudou now, it is better to wait for a while, and wait for himself to recover.
"Okay, then you go over there." Huang Laosan pointed down the hillside: "There is a firewood stack over there, you go and pick up that kind of thick stick and bring me some, some of the sticks here are useless." ”
"Okay." Zhao Dashan agreed, turned around and walked down the hill.
Soybean stepped on a walnut and almost fell, so he began to look for a branch and flicked all the way to find the lost walnut. After looking for a long time, she found about a dozen, and she didn't care whether it was dirty or not, she sat on a stone without snow and began to knock walnuts with the stones she found.
In the past six months, soybeans have been very greedy, the kind of gluttony that is obviously full and wants to eat a bite when they see everything. Probably entering the growth period, the fourteen-year-old soybean has developed very well, and her whole small breasts are bulging, and it seems that her slightly fat waist is not so thick.
Losing weight has become a phrase on the lips of soybeans, and I feel that I am only fourteen years old and still growing. It is said that the eighteenth change of the female college, look at the father, mother, brothers and sisters, and Huang Dou also knows that as long as he is not crooked, he is not ugly.
What's more, none of the Huang family are fat, they are all tall and tall, standard or thin.
In this era, it's good to be able to eat and dress warmly, even if you have a lot of money, you were so fat when you were a child, and you haven't been a handsome guy in the wind in the past few years.
Thinking about how much money there is, Soybeans can't help but think of Zhao Dashan. Qian Duoduo, she hasn't told Zhao Dashan yet, mainly because she doesn't know how to say it, Zhao Dashan and her haven't decided to marry yet, and this kind of thing is not suitable for Zhao Dashan to come forward.
"Hey." Thinking about Qian Duoduo and then thinking about Zhao Dashan, Huang Dou couldn't help but sigh deeply.
She was ready to stop thinking about it, and the boat naturally went straight to the bridge.
Thinking of this, Soybean picked up the stone and began to smash the walnuts. smashed open two, and one of them was broken, and the walnuts inside were all black. The soybean was so angry that he threw it back into the woods, and fed your mother earth.
Pick up the other one, put it in your mouth, and chew it, a little bitter and a little astringent, a little slightly sweet. I can barely eat it, and I don't pay attention to the soybeans, so I smashed another one, put the rest together, and take it again when I go back.
Soybeans went on again, and in front of it was a mixed forest, but it was later cleared and covered with a shed, and the chickens and dairy goats were usually closed.
Bypassing the shed, there is a natural pine forest in front of you. The pine trees are evergreen all year round, and the leaves are already green and black, with a slight yellow at the edges. The snow on the top of the tree was clumped, like a hat on the tree.
Soybeans didn't go into the pine forest, and when they came to hunt pine nuts in the fall, Soybeans followed them. There is no sunlight in it all year round, which always gives people an eerie feeling, especially suitable for making ghost movies or scaring people.
Zhao Dashan walked up with two bundles of thick sticks from the foot of the mountain and threw them in the footsteps of Third Uncle Huang: "Third Uncle, is it enough?" ”
"Enough, enough, you go see Doudou, tell her not to go into the pine forest, there is no sun in there, it's very cold." Huang Laosan nodded, the railing behind him collapsed less, he just had to knock the wooden sticks in to stop them from falling.
"Whoa." Zhao Dashan agreed, and walked towards the walnut forest.
The leaves on the trees in the walnut forest have fallen away, and you can see far away at a glance, and you can't see the soybeans at all. Zhao Dashan walked to the sheepfold and saw a dozen walnuts piled up next to a stone, so he knew that the location was right.
Bypassing the sheepfold, I saw Doudou probing his brain to look into the pine forest, nervous and curious, and couldn't help but shout: "Doudou, what are you doing?" ”
"Ahh Huang Dou was startled by Zhao Dashan's sudden sound and jumped up, and when he saw that it was Zhao Dashan, he was shocked and angry, and rushed over and punched: "You scared me to death." ”
The soybean's fist didn't hurt at all when it landed on Zhao Dashan, but it made ripples in his heart, and he couldn't help but bow his head and seal the red lips that made him dizzy.
When Huang Dou struggled to break free from Zhao Dashan's arms, both of them were red-faced and red-eared, and their breathing was unsteady.
Looking at the delicate soybeans in front of him, Zhao Dashan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, bent down and picked up the soybeans and ran into the pine forest.
