Chapter 24: Collapse
It's been two weeks since I left school, and I still remember the quarrel before the last school start. I'm still sad, I'm still sad, I'm still in pain......
But no one paid attention to the pain, and I didn't know who to say it to. Because no one will listen at all. So I can only endure, stuffy, hold back...... Hold everything down to the depths of your heart......
I know that one day this will come to a ruin. But other than that, I can't do anything else......
It's so sad, so painful, and so lonely......
There are so many people in the world, but I feel that I am only one person......
What is the meaning of life? Why do we live?
More than a month after the start of school, the weather is slowly starting to get cooler. It's late autumn, although it's not the rainy season. Strangely, it rained for 10 days in the next two weeks. Occasionally, the sun is not seen for two days on a sunny day.
It was Saturday, and after lunch, my grandfather and uncle had already gone out. My aunt wasn't at home either, and it was very cloudy outside. Around one o'clock in the afternoon, it began to rain lightly again. But in less than half an hour, the rain suddenly became heavy. In a few moments, the rain outside poured down from the sky like a waterfall.
I was sitting in front of the door doing my homework, but because of the rain, the water splashed into the house. So I had to move inside.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the rain slowly became lighter. As I sighed in my heart, I heard a rumble outside the house.
I was startled, and I didn't know what was going on, so I quickly stood in the doorway and looked out. After this look, I found out that it was my father's grass house that had collapsed.
Although the rain outside was not heavy, it was not small. I quickly grabbed my umbrella and ran out. I saw that the house was falling from the front, and the wall at the back was not falling because there were many wooden sticks on it.
I saw my father's quilt, some cotton, and grain all drying in the rain. I didn't think about it so much, so I quickly climbed the wall and went in to carry the things to my grandfather's house.
However, because of the rain every day, the mud wall was already soaked by the rain, and I couldn't stand the weight of my feet when I stepped on it, causing me to fall and make me muddy and watery.
But even so, after a few back and forth, I finally moved some of the things from my father's house into the west house. The rest is on the side that hasn't collapsed, and the rain won't be able to fall for the time being, so don't worry.
It wasn't long before I finished moving my things when my aunt came back. She saw that my dad's house had collapsed and asked me what was wrong.
I said I didn't know, I was doing my homework in the house, and I heard a rumble outside, and when I went out to look, I found that the house had collapsed.
"I brought the quilt here, and I didn't care about some of the ones that didn't get rainy!" I say.
When my aunt heard me say this, she said, "You are so bold, and I am not afraid to smash you!" ”
"No, it's all dirt walls, where will they smash me to death?"
"If you don't die, you will break the blood flow, if you hit your head and leave any sequelae, your father won't have to live the rest of his life......"
It didn't take long for Grandpa and Uncle to return. When I saw my father's house fall, I asked what was going on. My aunt talked about it in general, and told me about going in and moving things. My grandfather and uncle said together that I had lived enough to die.
I was saying that it was okay when I heard another rumble outside. When I went out to look, I noticed that the side wall had collapsed a little more.
When my grandfather and uncle saw it, they said to me, "I don't know, I'm afraid!" ”
Dad came back at five o'clock, and I was having dinner with my grandfather. I heard him say, "Good boy, why did the house collapse!" So he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to call him.
When my father came over, my aunt asked me to serve him food. Dad started saying he wouldn't eat it, but when I served it, he ate it too.
The uncle and aunt talked about the matter in general. At the end, the aunt said again, "Xiao Yizi is really bold, and he dares to go in and help you get things out." At that time, it was almost five o'clock when the west wall collapsed again, and it would not be easy if it was smashed! ”
"What's that all the earth afraid of? It's okay to smash it! Dad said.
When my uncle heard this, he opened his eyes, obviously disagreeing with his father's statement.
The aunt said, "It's really worthy of both father and daughter, they are both very powerful!" I won't talk about it if I really hit it......"
"What's going on with that house?" After a pause, the uncle asked, "Are you going to rebuild?" ”
"Cover!" Dad rushed, and at the end he probably felt that his tone was not good, and said, "My mother is sick, and you don't know how much money I borrowed outside, how can I have money to build a house!" If you don't pay back the money to build a house, don't people have something to say? ”
"Then if you don't build a house, where do you expect to live?" Uncle asked.
"Can't you live, can't you live in the sheepfold?" Dad replied to him, "I'll just have a place to sleep by myself, how can I be so exquisite!" ”
"Thou hast howled all day long, and three houses burned and poured down." Grandpa said on the side, "From then to now, you can't mess with the pot house, what's the matter of cooking here every day?" ”
Dad didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say as I listened. I admit that what Grandpa said has a point, and I also know that Dad has Daddy's difficulties. If you have money, everything is easy, but the point is that you don't have money.
After dinner that day, Dad started cleaning the sheepfold. That's where the sheep used to be bolted, and it was built with bricks. It's about five or six square or so, and there are no doors either. Dad moved a few asbestos tiles from the back of the house to block them.
When I accompanied my father to clean that night, he smiled and said, "I also live in a tiled house, right?" ”
I was happy to hear it, so I said, "Forget it, it's all bricks, but it's just a tiled house!" "It's just too small, and I said silently in my heart at the end.
