Today's lunch should be regarded as the first fire at home after we came back, and the three old ladies in the family were very satisfied with the conversation just now, so the lunch meal was particularly rich.

Jiang Zhi provided them with a large piece of pork, and then moved out all the frozen meat in the cellar, and the sister-in-law said that he would teach them how to freeze meat outdoors in the Northeast winter, so that they could save the space in the ice cellar and put ice cubes. The method taught by the sister-in-law is very simple, that is, to pour some water on the meat, and the meat that has been watered outside will be frozen with a layer of ice for a while, and the sister-in-law checked it and said that the ice layer is too thin, and it is necessary to pour some more water to coat the meat with a thick layer of ice, and then let Li Cheng (Li Cheng is the youngest here except for Chenchen, so everyone loves to instruct him) to go outside again to shovel the snow that had just been shoveled away in the morning, and transport it back.

Li Cheng muttered in his mouth and said, "This is a tired stupid boy, I just spent a long time shoveling it away, and now I pull it back." ”

When I heard this, I said, "Seiko, come and rest and rest, we've eaten enough meat, so don't bother to store it." If it breaks, we'll feed the dogs. ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, you did it on purpose, you know that I like to eat meat the most, and you still said that you want to feed the dogs, but I haven't eaten enough." Li Cheng listened to my words, did not stop, but accelerated his pace.

When I heard him say this, I immediately changed my face, like a landlord and an old man, pinched my waist and pointed at him and said: "Hmph, if you don't want to feed the meat to the dogs, then don't mumble, hurry up and work, you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish your work." ”

The two of us laughed at the two of us, and we put the meat in a corner. There's a pile of snow on it.

My sister-in-law was a little worried when he looked at our big snowdrift, afraid that someone would come and steal it if he knew that it was meat buried in it.

Jiang Zhi comforted the little brother-in-law and said, "Little brother-in-law." Don't worry, it's safe to put it here, you see how high the wall of our house is, it's not easy to climb, and these few people know that the meat is put here, and others can't think of it. So surely no one has gone to such trouble to climb our fence just for this snowdrift that I don't know what it is. "Jiang Zhi hasn't said that our family still has a secret weapon. Warning charms.

The little brother-in-law was still very worried, and then he was dragged into the house by Jiang Zhi for lunch.

There were still two tables, with the old man and the man sitting at one table. The rest sit at a table.

Dad Jiang, as the head of the family, began to speak first, "We are now in the foothills of the mountain village. It's all about to start all over again, and I hope we can keep it that way. A whole family. Love each other. You must know that as long as our hearts are in one place, there will be no difficulty that can stump us, and we will all twist into a rope, and no one will dare to bully us here. The people we have supported along the way from D City can be regarded as sharing hardships, and I believe that we will be able to enjoy happiness together. ”

Everyone in the family raised their glasses, hoping that our lives would get better and better.

After eating at noon, a few of us put down our chopsticks. Ready to work.

Lu Fang and her sister-in-law went to the back shed to repair the roof.

The men were going out on their carts to pull some clean snow. Make ice bricks.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of our house, and I guessed in my heart that it was either the village chief or Li Feng who knocked on the door, and it was for the sake of the house.

Li Cheng was instructed by everyone to open the door again.

As a result, I guessed wrong, and it was an old man who came in, wearing a gray dogskin hat with some shedding on his head, and a big cotton jacket and cotton pants made of black material. The feet are wearing handmade cotton shoes made of black velvet fabric, which seem to be often stepped on in the snow, and the upper is covered with snow and the upper is also a little crooked. The two hands are crossed into the sleeve tube. There was no scarf on his face, and his cheeks were red from the cold. The beard around the mouth was covered with frost, and it looked like a white-bearded old man. I commented on it, and it is really a classic image of a rural man.

I looked down at my own clothes and the clothes of my family, all of them were slim-fitting down jackets, and the colors were all bright colors, even the men were dark blue and sapphire blue. We didn't think anything when we looked at it ourselves, looking at what the three people in front of us were wearing, thinking about what the village chief and my sister-in-law and their families were wearing, we were a little out of place, but I was very puzzled, last year, most of the people in the village wore down jackets, why don't they wear them now.

As soon as the old man came in, he pouted and knelt down for Li Cheng, and then began to cry, which made us completely blind.

Whose old man is this, is there a nervous problem, why do you kneel down as soon as you come in and don't say anything?

"Uncle, who are you, where is your home, I'll send you home." Li Cheng saw the old man kneeling when he saw him, and thought that he had a mental problem, so he wanted to send the uncle home very lovingly.

Dad Jiang asked Jiang Zhi to help the old man up, it would be too bad for others to see it, and he thought that what they had done to other people, the impact was very bad.

Dad Jiang said vigorously: "This old brother, what are you doing, you can say something if you have something, but don't do this, we can't afford it." ”

Jiang Zhi stepped forward to help Li Cheng together, but the old man didn't get up, he had to kneel down for us, pulling and pulling, the old man couldn't kneel, so he sat on the ground, Jiang Zhi saw that he changed his kneeling to sitting, so he didn't insist on pulling the old man up.

"Big brother, I'm here to beg you." The old man saw that Jiang Zhi was no longer pulling, so he kept sitting and said the first words after entering the door to Jiang Dad.

"Brother, who are you, I don't know you, what can you ask me for?" In fact, we vaguely guessed who this person was.

"Big brother, my surname is Li, do you know who I am this time, my son borrowed your house to live." As soon as Lao Li Tou finished speaking, he began to wipe away his tears again.

"Oh, then you're here today......" We all looked at the old man sitting on the ground wiping tears from his eyes.

"I beg you, be merciful, don't drive my son out, this cold day, if you get out, their family will die. His daughter-in-law still has a baby in her belly, my poor grandson. After saying that, he began to cry louder, as if he had foreseen the tragic fate of his son.

Dad Jiang pondered for a while and said, "Brother, it's not that we have to force your son to move out, you should also know that we came back this time with nearly twenty people." Look at my house, there are only seven rooms in total, and I really can't live in it. ”

Lao Li Tou was crying, and when I thought he couldn't speak, he said: "Don't you still have a house in your family, can't you be even." Li Feng is living in the house you are living in, why don't we give you the money for your family to buy a house? ”

This old man is not stupid at all, he knows that he has to spend money to buy our house, and you must know that money is not worth much now. This is to exchange some waste paper for our house.

When Lao Li didn't say this, we still had some compassion for this old man who knelt down for us as soon as he came in, and I really couldn't bear to see such an old man crying in front of him. But when he spoke, the trace of unbearability in our hearts also dissipated.

Dad Jiang's eyes also hardened, and he said: "The house, we can't sell it, if you really like our house, we won't embarrass you, we will suffer a loss, your family can exchange the house that Li Feng bought when he got married to us." Let's change one place at a time, so that the village people and the village chief can give us a testimony that we live in a house that is not stable. Brother, look at how this goes. ”

Old man Li stiffened for a moment, and then he didn't say a word, just crying.

Dad Jiang said to him patiently: "Brother, I said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart." As far as I know, your house is similar to the one our family lives in now, and you live with your eldest son's family now. You said that there are so many empty rooms in your house, how can you bear to let your son borrow someone else's house to live, why can't you take your son to live at home, let's be an old man, we have to have a bowl of water, otherwise we will not end up betraying our relatives when we are old, brother, you say, is this reason. ”

Lao Li Tou couldn't cry anymore when Jiang Dad said this, but he just sat on the ground and couldn't get up.

At this time, the courtyard gate, which had not been closed tightly, was pushed open from the outside, and two men entered, one of whom I knew, Li Feng.

What impressed me the most was that his appearance was extremely inconsistent with his eyes, he had an ordinary and loyal and honest face, but there was a ruthlessness in his eyes.

They were dressed a lot more normally, they were all down jackets, carrying shovels in their hands, and they didn't even look at the old Li Tou on the ground when they came in, and they came at us.

He rushed forward and said: "You people in the city are amazing, dare to bully my father, let the old man kneel for you, you are too arrogant, I will clean up you on behalf of the entire mountain village today." ”

As he spoke, the shovel in his hand smashed at Dad Jiang's head.

Things were developing too fast, and we saw Li Feng rushing over, and before he could react, he fell to the ground and screamed. Jiang Zhi stepped on his extremely deceptive face with one foot, his eyes were extremely fierce, and his momentum was extremely fierce.

The one who followed Li Feng in should be his brother Li Peng, who was suppressed by Jiang Zhi's momentum and hesitated.

Li Feng was trampled under Jiang Zhi's feet, and he didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at Jiang Zhi fiercely.

Old man Li reflected at this time, and when he got up, he spread it on Jiang Zhi's body, and shouted in his mouth: "Oh, kill people, kill people." Holding Jiang Zhi's thighs and starting to play tricks, this time I really cried, a handful of tears and snot, for the sake of my son and the house, this is really willing to sacrifice.

The more he screamed, the more strength Jiang Zhi had on his feet, and the harder he stepped on his son. The snow in our yard had just been cleared in the morning, and now the ground was full of frozen hard soil. Li Feng's face was broken by Jiang Zhi's step, and he screamed quietly.

The neighbors on the left and right were attracted by Li Feng's initial shouts and the cries of old Li Tou, and watched in front of the open courtyard gate of our house.

Before everyone could understand what was going on, someone shouted from behind, "Let's let me go, the village chief is here." ”

I thought to myself, what a time for this. (To be continued.) )
