Before the Wu family built the house, they lived in two bungalows. The three older children lived in a separate room from the outhouse. In this way, the family living is not too narrow. But in the eyes of outsiders, the five sons and seven people live in two rooms, which is not very spacious. As the head of the family, Wu Guocai is also very anxious, after all, the child is growing up day by day. So the Wu family began to prepare materials. Wu Guocai and his daughter-in-law plan to approve a larger housing farm and build five rooms.

At the beginning of the school year in 1973, the school announced that fresh graduates would go to the countryside. "When are you leaving?" The father asked his son eagerly.

"July." Wu Yi replied.

"Thaw and build a house." Wu Guocai said confidently. As soon as Wu heard his parents say that the eldest went to the countryside, he didn't know when the house would be built.

The new premises are located near the train station. Mother said: Far from the city. Wu Yi said to his mother: "Now is the far away, maybe it will develop into a center in the future." ”

On a sunny Sunday morning, Wu Yi took his father to the new house on his bicycle.

"Wow, that's a big house." Wu Yi shouted excitedly. "Dad, how big is it?" Wu Yi couldn't wait to ask his father.

"Twenty meters square."

"You can build two buildings in front and back." Wu Yi and his father measured their footsteps while talking about their thoughts.

"That's how it was prepared." Father talks about long-term planning. Wu Yi looked at his happy father, "It's amazing to build five rooms." ”

Father was happy.

It is a box-type open space with a two-meter-wide roadway to the north and south. Since the soil used by the neighbors to build houses was taken from here, a 50-centimeter pit appeared in the open space. If you enter the real estate park, you must first cushion the road. The next day, Wu Yi used the family's wheelbarrow to transport the furnace ash. My father bought another 30 carts of dirt. My father said that he would buy a pit when the house was built.

"Dad, you don't need to buy my furnace ash mat." Wu Yi said confidently.

So, a cart of furnace ash was pushed into the yard, and the soil bought was brought into the house. After a few days, the road in the courtyard was opened, and the earth for building the house was piled up.

As the saying goes: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, especially young people who are working for the first time and can't find the trick. After a few days of hard work, Wu Yi was so tired that he couldn't get up from the kang. He lay on the kang and looked at the blood blisters on his hands. As she worked, her mother said, "You have to work slowly, how old you are." "Although my mother said it was easy, I didn't know why I was distressed." Stay two more days before you do it. Wu Yi rested for a day, pushing a cart of sticks and reed curtains from home to the house to build a "shack". When everything was done, he used a cart to bring the building materials he could move into the house.

On the night of the show, Wu Yi persuaded his father to sleep at home. But his father still stayed, and Wu Yihao spread the two mattresses to his father. When Wu Yi wanted to sleep, the mattress was neatly laid out, Wu Yi wanted to lay it out for his father, but his father was already asleep, he looked at his sleeping father and lay down with his clothes. In addition to the dim light in the shack, it is still very comfortable to sleep in. But as soon as you move, the reeds spread on the ground will "rattle". But "in the house" is heartwarming. For as long as he could remember, he hadn't slept next to his father, and he felt his body's body radiating heat energy that was nurturing him all the time. Wu Yi knows: The hardships and difficulties that parents brought themselves into this world. All parents hold up their childhood, adolescence, youth, and even ...... for the sake of their children Despite his efforts, he has no regrets in his life.

It's quiet tonight, and the lights have been turned off in the neighborhoods. But his eyes were shining, and he didn't feel sleepy. The affairs of the family should be thought of for the parents and set an example for the younger brother. In a few years, parents will be satisfied when they see their children grow up. He slowly turned sideways. At this time, my father also moved, "I haven't slept yet." As he spoke, his father simply fell asleep again.

He advised himself to sleep...... He knew that his parents only had seven or eight hours of sleep a night, and that the rest of the time was spent working for the family for their children. Maybe this is life, and it is a never-ending law of survival. Yes, China's 5,000-year-old history has been following the immutable rules of survival, and step by step the people are the masters of the country.

He lifted the curtain and poked his head out. The stars in the sky winked at him. In the vast universe, is the sky a star? But the celestial bodies are shining brightly. Suddenly, there was a star, as if it was playing hide and seek with people to cut through the sky and disappear in an instant. The three stars are brighter than the other stars, it is the messenger of time, and some people know what time it is when they see the three stars at night. People say that the Big Dipper hangs like a spoon in the sky. At night, if people can't tell where to go, the Big Dipper will guide you. The stars are very good at joking, twinkling to greet the warmth and coldness of the world, paying attention to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the world, and at the same time experiencing people's bitterness, spicy, sour and sweet. How many untold mysteries are hidden in the space universe? But the rules and rules are set in stone.

It was a little cold outside, so Wu Yi retreated to the shack and lowered the door curtain. It's about midnight? He comforted himself to sleep...... The book contains the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. Only by reading can we know the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Only then can we understand the complicated things in the world, so that we can fill our minds and increase our wisdom, and books are the ladder of human progress...... Wu Yi gradually fell asleep.

The next day, my father invited the head of the house to visit, looked at the venue, and negotiated the price. Turning the day, the head led the "staff" to come. When the work started, he took out a firecracker and let Wu Yi light it. The scene of this group of people working is enviable, because there is a force flowing in everyone's bones. The work done is honest, so that the owner is convinced and assured. When the last milled mud is thrown on the roof. Over the course of twenty days, five houses were erected on the earth. It took another day to build up the walls and set up the ondol. After Wu Yi finished the inspection, handed over the wages to the boss, said goodbye to each other, and the craftsmen went to the next house to make a fortune.

After the house was built, my father brought my mother over. The mother burst into tears when she saw the spacious and bright room. Wu Yi was also very excited to see his mother. He told his mother that the houses on the front and back were all built in units, and only our house was built by himself. Wu Guocai listened to his son's introduction, with tears in his eyes, and said to his daughter-in-law: "Yes." ”

The Wu family earns money on his father alone, and his father never delays work, and never rests on Sundays for overtime pay of a few yuan a month.

In fact, my mother used to work in a bone glue factory. When there is Wu Yi, the child is left at home to be watched. When Wu Er was born, his mother had to give up his job.

My father supported the family in the factory with his craft. As the saying goes: there is a rake for money outside, and a box for saving money at home. When Wu Guocai and his wife were married for nearly 20 years, they were able to build five rooms, which was remarkable at that time.

As soon as Wu came to the school, he asked the teacher for leave again, but the teacher didn't say a word, and he was approved. From junior high school to high school graduation, he was the class president and secretary of the Youth League branch. Teachers and even school leaders are very fond of sunny, handsome, and elegant big boys. And Wu Yi leads by example everywhere in the class, and also helps the teacher manage the class. This time I asked for leave, and several male classmates wanted to help. "I'll invite you later." Wu Yi said enthusiastically. He returned to the new house and laid out the ruined section of the yard, and then pushed the dirt and ashes unloaded to the door into the house on a wheel-wheeler. A cart of soil and a cart of furnace ash, the ground of the pad is comparable to cement grouting. After a few days of hard work, Wu Yi leveled the floor of the house. Then his work was transferred from the outside to the house, and he began to hang on the wall. First of all, he has to mix the mud, sprinkle the chopped grass into sections on the soil, and then pour water and use two rulers to stir the soil evenly. Then he went into the house, and by the wall he set up two stools, on which were placed a long, thick plank, and on which was placed an iron basin. Then the reconciled mud was milled and milled into the house and loaded into the iron basin on the springboard. He picked up the clay tablet and held it in his other hand. Then he stood on the gangplank and smeared mud on the uneven wall. The mud sticks to the wall, and the mud board is like a dragon playing in the mud. After a while, it was as if a tapestry had been hung on the wall. When the mud in the basin was gone, he put down his tools, got off the gangplank, and filled the empty basin again. In this way, under Wu Yi's repeated repetition, the plastered walls gradually expanded to one wall after another.

When the sun was setting, when Wu Yi went home for dinner, he was looking for a needle to pick the bubble on his hand, and when his mother saw this, she immediately handed over the purple potion. When she saw a new sprout on her son's tender hands, she couldn't say anything. Mother asked Wu Er to go to the new house more than once, "You are fourteen, help your eldest brother do something." Wu Er said, "My brother can ask for leave, but I can't ask for leave." His mother asked him to go on Sunday, and he said that he had homework, and his mother said angrily, "Don't come back for dinner if you don't go." Wu Er grimaced.

On Sunday, Wu Yi used a cart to bring his four younger brothers to his new house. When the four brothers saw the new house, they jumped up happily. "Three rooms, that's spacious." Wu Si said. "I've wanted to see the new house for a long time." Seven-year-old Wu Wu said. "Then why don't you come?" Wu Er said without depth or shallowness. "I can't find it." Wu Wu said.

Wu Yi came out of the house and said to his brothers, "I am leveling the ground, and you are stepping on the flat ground." ”

"Okay." When they trampled a house, the two little brothers couldn't do anything. Wu Yi joked with his younger brothers, "You have to come on." The four younger brothers, jumping and playing around the house, quickly finished their work.

As they headed home, the younger brothers let the eldest brother into the car. "Brother is an adult." "How old are you?" The two little brothers asked. "I know," Wu Si said first, "just as big as big brother." "Yes." Wu Yi said: "Adults are not tired of working. Wu Yi said as he carried the two little brothers into the car.

During dinner, Wu Yi told his parents that the house would be completed in two days. If you move on Sunday, you can gather your day's stuff on Saturday. Moreover, Sunday is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is an auspicious day. The parents listened to their son's arrangement and said in unison, "Sunday, move." ”

The spacious and bright house is the pride of the Wu family. Although the hardship and tiredness made Wu Yi catch up, he thought that he could do something for his parents and this family, so that his younger brothers would no longer have such a bitter and tiring experience.

On the day of the move, a neighbor from the yard came to help early. The neighbors chattered endlessly about the good of the Wu family, and the children were also benevolent, and they didn't live enough...... Wu Yi's mother was busy and said the same words of gratitude. A classmate from the courtyard also came to help. At this time, the hired carriage arrived. The guys divided the two cars by two. There were some bits and pieces left on the cart, and Wu Yi and his classmates pushed them. Wu Guocai came over to shake hands with the owner who bought the house, and when he left, Wu Guocai said, "Come and drink at noon." ”

Wu Guocai sat in the car and watched the carriage moving forward. Wu Yi and his classmates pushed the cart and walked to the new house at the same time.

When Wu Yi arrived at school, his teachers and classmates said that he had lost weight, so he had to tell the truth, and his classmates admired him very much. At school, Wu Yi completed the procedures for going to the countryside. With the approval of the teacher, he and his classmates built a courtyard wall and installed the courtyard gate.

Wu Yi planned the potholes in the courtyard, and he wanted to smooth them out before going to the countryside. He thought about it and finished doing it at the same time.
