Chapter 299: Survival in the Last Days (39)

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

A team of people, all wearing the welfare down jackets sent back on the last post, uniform dress, if it weren't for getting closer, no one would be able to recognize anyone.

Seeing Qingsoul and Second Uncle, the eldest brother also asked, "Second Uncle, Qingqing, what are you doing here?" โ€

The second uncle said: "In this weather, I'm afraid that I can't prepare more firewood at home." After that, if the snow doesn't stop, you can't go to the mountains, so the snow hasn't blocked the way, so hurry into the mountains to chop some firewood and come back. โ€

The second uncle didn't say this in vain.

He is worried, these clothes, charcoal, are all Qingtong's welfare to the village, afraid that people will misunderstand that their family has saved more, if there is no shortage in the future, if it is missing, everyone will come to ask for it, will it be given? If there is really nothing superfluous in your own family, but people misunderstand that your family has it but refuse to help others, the good things Qingtong did before would be in vain.

The human heart is sometimes not tested.

He was going to chop wood with Qing Soul at this time, and when others saw it, they knew that even if Qingtong prepared more things for his family, it was limited. Let people know that this is going on, and people won't think much about what they don't have.

As he expected, as soon as this group heard that Second Uncle Yan was pulling Qingqing, the little girl, to chop firewood in the mountains, they said Qingtong: "You too, give so many benefits to the village, but your own family doesn't save more, but your own family keeps more, who can say what?" โ€

Brother Yan smiled: "Second uncle is also worried, I can get more firewood back at this time, my heart is stable, isn't it?" But what the second uncle said is also that we have to mobilize all the old and young masters in the village, and after dividing the charcoal, half of the people will go to clear the snow, and half of the people will go up the mountain to chop wood. This firewood can't be cut blindly, or it will be our own interests that will be lost in the future, right? When it comes to chopping wood, go back and let Uncle Cheng find a reliable person to lead it. First, it is safe, and second, it will not be cut down indiscriminately and destroy the mountains and forests. โ€

Everybody's saying hello.

After two minutes, when the green soul arrived at the road to the center of the village, he saw many people clearing the snow. Each family is responsible for each house in front of the courtyard and in front of the door, and there are also special rows of people on the public road to clear the snow and deal with the snow. Although it is terribly cold, it is also hot.

When I saw Second Uncle Yan and Qing Soul, I asked, and I heard that they were going up the mountain to chop firewood, and everyone said that they had to get some firewood back. In this weather, there is no brazier in the house, so I can't stay.

Second Uncle Yan said: "Don't worry, I just met Qingtong and they went to pull charcoal, they said, go back and divide the charcoal, and the village will unify the people who go to chop firewood." It won't be possible if you don't cut it down indiscriminately. โ€

When they heard this, they went on with their work.

The second uncle and the green soul continued to go to the mountain.

The weather was so cold that there wasn't even a single wild thing out to move. Qing Soul didn't plan to hunt game, so he followed the second uncle to chop wood with peace of mind.

It is true that this chopping wood cannot be cut indiscriminately.

The second uncle picked up some long crooked melons and inferior dates, small trees that could not become talents, or dead trees.

The second uncle picked the tree, but the green soul didn't let the second uncle do it: "You let it go, I'll cut it, cut it and drag it away, tie it with a rope, and we'll drag it back and split the wood again." โ€

How can the second uncle let her little girl contribute, and watch from the side as an elder?

As a result, he started to cut down a small crooked tree for a long time, and the green soul basically fell down a tree with two axes, and cut down seven or eight trees, and he would fiddle with a tree.

Second Uncle Yan's mood is really indescribable.

Within half an hour, Second Uncle Yan stopped: "It's done, that's all, it's enough for my grandfather to work hard to pull it back." โ€

Qing Soul said: "Then you go and tie it up first, I'll chop some more, there must be people in the village who come to chop wood in the afternoon, and let it be given to others when the time comes." I don't have a hard time cutting these left and right. Cut as much as you can. I'm afraid that I will be able to chop wood today and tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, and then in the future, this snow, I'm afraid I can't make people run into the mountains anymore. โ€

Second Uncle Yan patted the snow on his body and sighed: "It's too." Then you go ahead and chop. But don't be pushy. When I turned around, my arm hurt. โ€

"Don't worry, second uncle, I know it in my heart. I am a martial arts student, what is it to chop some firewood? โ€

My little girl is more kid than a boy, and the second uncle is helpless: "It's done, but you still have to take it easy." โ€

Second Uncle Yan didn't chop firewood anymore, so he simply dragged the tree cut down by the green soul to the road at the foot of the mountain, so that it would be easy to transport people to the village when they came back.

By noon, in more than two hours, Qing Soul had already cut down sixty or seventy small trees, an average of one tree every three or four minutes. Half of them were dragged to the road by Second Uncle Yan.

Qing Soul put down the axe and helped the second uncle mop the tree.

Second Uncle Yan said: "If we drag back with a dual-purpose rope, not to mention the effort, we won't be able to drag a few trees." In this way, I will drag all the cut here to the road, and you go to the village to pull a board cart, and we will use the board truck to transport it back. โ€

Qing Soul thought about it, and pulled it back with a cart, one cart could pull ten or twenty small trees, and if he dragged it himself, seven or eight trees would reach the sky.

"Second uncle, go to the village to find a board car, call two more cars to come over, I am dragging trees here, I have more strength than you."

Second Uncle Yan: ......

By the time Second Uncle Yan called two young men and pulled three carts over, Qing Soul had already dragged all the trees to the side of the road and put them there.

Also coming over was Qinghe.

Qinghe said: "Sister, I knew that you would come to cut down trees, so I wouldn't go to share charcoal with my eldest brother." All these cut down trees are kept by our family? โ€

Qing Soul nodded: "It's okay for our family to keep it, I'll come over in the afternoon to help the people in the village cut it together, our family has left so much, it's almost over." โ€

If you have more, you will be afraid that others will have opinions. Even if no one has an opinion, they have a lot of firewood at home, and they will be troublesome in the future.

Qinghe said, "Why don't you send some to Grandma Qian's house?" I used to send charcoal to her family, but she was alone in her old family, and her son didn't come back, and all she could burn at home was a small stack of grass. When I went, the old lady was clearing the snow in the yard alone, and the old man who was almost seventy years old had only swept half of the yard in half a day, and I helped to sweep the snow in the yard and in front of the door. On such a cold day, an old lady is at home and has no one to take care of, which is really uneasy. โ€

Of course Qian San's grandmother Qingsoul knows.

When I was in elementary school, Qian San's grandmother still lived in the old house, and the green soul had to pass through this old woman's house to go to school.

There is a jujube tree and a pear tree in front of the old grandmother's house. When the fruit was ripe, every time the green soul passed by, the old lady either gave her a big yellow pear or grabbed a jujube for her. In winter, he would give her a piece of Jiang rice candy from time to time, touching her head with a smile, and he was a kinder old man.

At that time, she had no parents, and others would say pity when they saw her. But Grandma Qian never said that she was pitiful, but that she would be blessed in the future.

At first, she didn't want anything she gave, and the grandmother always smiled and advised: "A good child will not refuse the kindness of others." The elders are indispensable. โ€

She, no, it should be said that it was the original owner, and at that time she didn't understand the meaning of the elder's gift, but she felt that she was a good child, so she happily accepted the old man's gift. (2nd Update)
