Chapter 40: A New Place, A New Life

(Collect!) Cheer for it! Ask for a commuter pass! )

In the western suburbs of the county, the old town forgotten by the people of the county seat is located with abandoned houses.

Long Yang and Jin Ren came to the place where they would live in the future, and they were very satisfied and satisfied. The houses in the mountain village are made of stone, and there are no brick houses, which are at least brick houses.

In the middle is a three-mile and three-entry house, which used to be at least the place where the landlord and the old fortune lived. On both sides are dozens of small tiled houses, which are also very sturdy. The worst thing is that it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, with barren grass covering the house and cobwebs hanging all over the room.

"Longyang, this is where the county arranged for us to live in the future, although it is a little desolate, but it is much better than our village, and it is much better than we have no place to live!" Jin Ren is very satisfied with this arrangement, the current villagers have no food, no housing, and no source of livelihood, so let's take one step at a time.

"It's stronger than where we used to live, but it's not much stronger, patriarch grandpa, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?" Since Long Yang went to school, he has seen the buildings and life in the city, and what he is worried about now is not where to live, but the future life of the villagers.

"The county has promised to arrange capable people to work in the factory and try to solve everyone's living problems. When they all enter the city, I can be considered at ease, and I can also give an explanation to the old patriarch. ”

In Jin Ren's heart, there is no better way now, let alone keeping the faith of the mountain village, it is his best wish to be able to keep everyone's life.

"Patriarch Grandpa, I know it's not easy for you, there aren't many houses now, there is no need to arrange a house for Longyang, I will live with you and make room for everyone."

"You kid, why are you so sensible."

Jin Ren sighed at Long Yang's sensibility, and also admired this child's heart.

"I understand your thoughts, even if you don't want to, I have to leave a room for Jin Shan, I can't let him have no home all the time. You live in this room, and when your stepfather comes back, you two will live together. ”

"Good!"

Long Yang replied happily. He hoped that his father-in-law would come back as soon as possible, so that his mother would come back soon, in case he could bring news of his father. Although Long Yang was not sure why his mother and stepfather were gone, he could guess seven or eight points. Mother does not leave her for nothing, except for the sake of her father.

In order not to delay Longyang's studies, Jin Ren sent Longyang back to school.

The vast majority of the people in Jin Village have never left the village, and they have not left the village where they have lived for hundreds of years. When leaving, the villagers all knelt down from the mountain village, but now they are kneeling not in the village, but in a rocky field.

Three days later, the 100 people in Jin Village all came to the western suburbs of the county. The mood of being away from the mountain village has been reduced a lot, and with a place to live, everyone is more at ease.

"Patriarch, what do we do now?"

The villagers were not in a hurry to find a place to live, and the rules of their ancestors told them that they had something to do with the patriarch. They did not compete to choose a house, they did not compete for daily necessities, they were waiting for the arrangement of the patriarch, and did not take into account the arrangement of the county leaders.

"Let's be quiet, let's ask the leaders of the county commune to talk about it first, and be quiet."

Jin Shan said a word, and everyone was quiet.

The leader of the Pingxian commune is an old man in his fifties, and from his face, everyone can see that he is also a person from a poor background. A plain tunic already covered with patches; The cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles have revealed white cloth, and the gray hair and beard reveal the vicissitudes of time.

"Comrades, fellow villagers, our difficulties are only temporary, the county commune has already arranged your daily necessities and food, everyone can rest assured, if there is something for us to eat, everyone can rest assured. In addition, everyone has lost the basic means of subsistence, and we will meet everything you need. In addition, we also have to carry out self-help, the county has done a lot of work for everyone, and you can't be idle. For example, if you know how to repair, we will arrange for you to be a repairman; If you know how to do it, we will arrange for you to do it, and if you can sharpen the knife, we will arrange for you to sharpen the knife, haha, we can't let everyone be idle! Eating white rice is not something we mountain people do! ”

"Yes, we know how to craft and we can feed ourselves."

"That's it, let the leader worry about us this time, we can't make trouble for the leader, everyone is right."

"Yes!"

"Leader, I'll mend my shoes!"

"I will graft fruit trees!"

"I know how to do it!"

"I'll sharpen my knives!"

"I'll grind!"

"you, that's a donkey! Hahaha"

"Hahahaha!"

The villagers burst into laughter, forgetting about their current suffering. The person who said that he could grind covered his face and squatted aside, and even the women around him pulled and pulled, so that he did not dare to raise his head.

"Good, good. Everyone knows how to do it, and I will arrange it as soon as possible. But for now, you have to stabilize first, I'll give you half a month, and after half a month, you're going to come out to work, okay? ”

"Good!"

The villagers of Jin Village agreed in unison, burying the sorrow in their hearts in the depths, ignoring the difficulties, and expressing their attitude towards life in reality.

The leaders of the commune personally arranged the transportation and implementation of the materials, and were busy until late at night before leaving, and they were persuaded by the villagers to leave.

The villagers still did not leave, because after they received their daily necessities, they all started to clean all the houses. The men renovated the house, the women cleaned every room, and the children did not sleep and helped clean up the scraps.

Until the early hours of the morning, dozens of houses were roughly cleaned up, and everyone gathered in front of the door of the middle house, where they were waiting for the patriarch's arrangement.

"As you can see, although this house is old, it is much better than the house we used to live in in the mountain village. Although our Jin Village has experienced unexpected disasters, our people's hearts have not changed, and people's hearts have not been affected. ”

Jin Shan stood in front of the door, looking around at the grizzled villagers, firm and resolute, happy and satisfied.

"The house behind me is currently the best house here, a total of 12 rooms, for the old people in the village, not including me. In addition, I want two of these twelve rooms, one for Longyang and one for Jin Shan, I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

"No, patriarch, despite your arrangement, I'm tired and can't open my eyes."

It was the stout man who said he could grind, and he was busy tidying up the house, and he was already lying on the ground tired.

"This kid is tired of grinding!"

"Hahahaha!"

The whole village couldn't help but laugh again.

"Patriarch, we listen to your arrangement. Since you said it, we all listen to you. Then we'll stay in the rest of the room! Everyone's sleeping! ”

I don't know who said it, but the villagers rushed into the remaining rooms and began to occupy a third of their lives in the future.

It's not that they're earning a good room, they're earning a good position, it's that they're too tired. After the great changes in the mountain village, they have lost their village, their home, and their ancestral home, but they have not cried or lost their confidence.

But they need to sleep now, to forget the pain and sorrow in their hearts for a while, because tomorrow, they will start a new life.

The night is deep, the candle has been extinguished, the man has slept, but the heart has not slept.
