Chapter 35: The Flooded Village
"Village chief, Zhu Chengdong's family didn't go up the mountain." Someone shouted.
Zhu Chengyong and the grandfather of the Zhu family were speechless, and this matter must have fallen on them.
Sure enough, when the village chief heard about this family, he walked over directly, "You two are sons of man, hurry up and carry the old couple up the mountain." ”
"My father refused to come, because he was reluctant to give up his longevity, and said that he would die in longevity." Zhu Chengyong had actually been there once in the morning.
That's what his father said, and if he goes again now, it is estimated that the effect will not be great.
"The old man has a stubborn temper, and you can only follow it when you are a son. If it really doesn't work, I'll coax him first, and then give him a pair of longevity materials later. "The village chief can't let anyone die in the village.
"Big brother, let's go together!" When the grandfather of the Zhu family saw this situation, he didn't think about it anymore and hurried to go.
"Second brother, third brother is now waiting for us to work as coolies and bring up their family's grain, he has two sons, and he raises them like waste." Zhu Chengyong couldn't help but complain.
"Big brother, do you think I don't know? Since the whole village is watching, you are carrying your father, I am carrying my mother, whether they want to or not, forcibly carry them up the mountain, as for the food of the third family, I will not care. The grandfather of the Zhu family said angrily.
"Good!" Zhu Chengyong immediately made an agreement with his younger brother.
Zhu Chengdong was already sitting at home, and his son Zhu Yuanfu couldn't help but persuade, "Dad, let's move some grain up the mountain first, but I heard that Linhe Village was flooded." ”
"No, your uncle and second uncle will come, you two will take care of the children and go up the mountain with clothes and bedding." Zhu Chengdong asked his son to do what he was told.
Zhu Yuanfu couldn't be persuaded to move, so he had to take the bedding and clothes and let his daughter-in-law take the two children.
Zhu Yuantong was the same, he brought something fluttering, and he was still scolding when he went out, "This ghost weather is really unlucky." Down, next non-stop, it's like the sky is leaking. ”
The two of them went out and happened to bump into the grandfather of the Zhu family.
"Yuanfu, where is your father and grandfather?" The grandfather of the Zhu family asked his nephew.
"My dad and grandpa are still at home, and grandpa doesn't want to go." When Zhu Yuanfu replied this, his eyes were dodging, and he was a little embarrassed.
"That's all you bring, don't you know what to bring?" Zhu Chengyong really served the third brother's family.
"My dad won't let me take it." After Zhu Yuantong finished speaking, he walked forward, and his daughter-in-law and daughter hurriedly followed.
The grandfather of the Zhu family didn't want to say any more, so he went directly to his father, and when he passed by Zhu Chengdong, he didn't even look at him.
Zhu Chengdong stood up, and his stomach was stuck in his throat.
Zhu Chengyong didn't want to talk to this thing more, but glared at him fiercely.
For the sake of caution, is this to take the old man to death? What an unfilial dog thing.
"Dad, mother, my eldest brother and I will pick you up the mountain. The village of Linhe has been flooded, and more than a dozen people have died. You two are people who want to live a long life, but you can't keep that longevity. Grandpa Zhu couldn't help but persuade.
"Old man, I'll keep my longevity, you unfilial rebel. The big deal is death, old man, I'm not afraid of death. Old lady Zhu's crutch hit the second son.
"Dad, I'll carry you, and my second brother and I will make you a red coffin in the future, it's all right!" Zhu Chengyong understands his father's careful thinking.
The current coffins were prepared in the early years, they are black coffins, and now they are old enough to prepare red coffins.
According to their custom, this red coffin is specially used for the elderly over 80 years old.
The two elders said that they were guarding the longevity, but in fact, they were forcing their sons to change.
Hearing this, Old Lady Zhu withdrew her stick, "Really? It's not just to coax me into lying! ”
"Dad, can you really do it, isn't your son afraid of thunder and thunder in order to coax you to tell such a lie? Second brother, you go and carry your mother, let's go up the mountain. Zhu Chengyong laughed angrily.
"It's not enough for you to make a statement alone, Chengfa, you have to make a statement too." Old lady Zhu didn't wait for the promise of his second son, he was still a little uneasy, and he always felt that they were coaxing him.
"I agree with what the eldest brother said, and I'll change the red coffin for you when I come back." When the grandfather of the Zhu family said such a thing, he could be regarded as coaxing the two old men.
Zhu Chengdong and his family saw that their father and mother were carried away by the eldest brother and the second brother, and immediately shouted in the back, "Dad, mother, food." ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhu wanted to speak, Zhu Chengyong ran away with his back, although he was fifty-two years old, it was not troublesome to carry his father on his back.
The grandfather of the Zhu family hurriedly followed, and in this way, Zhu Chengdong's calculation came to naught.
For this reason, he could only call back his son to carry grain up the mountain, and the sack containing grain on the road fell into a puddle.
"Dad, what can I do?" Zhu Yuanfu felt uncomfortable when he saw the grain falling into the water, this must be germinated.
"What are you afraid of, the cave is full of grain, and no one can tell who it is, so we'll change a bag of good ones when the time comes." Zhu Chengdong thinks this is not a problem at all, what are you afraid of?
"But Dad, the food in the cave specially took a pen and ink and wrote the name on the bag, so I was afraid of confusion." Zhu Yuanfu had already been there once just now and knew the rules over there.
"Whose idea was that? It must be your second uncle, he just can't see a little bit of good in our family. Zhu Chengdong said angrily.
Zhu Yuanfu didn't speak, because the person who wrote the name was his nephew Zhu Wencheng, and this idea might really be from the second uncle.
But it's not a bad idea for anyone else, and not everyone has a lot of things like his father.
Now the road is getting harder and harder, and the three of them wrestle all the way, and no one helps.
Zhu Chengyong and the grandfather of the Zhu family all watched coldly, not to mention others.
When Mrs. Zhu thought of the red coffin, she didn't dare to say more, expecting the third child to be sure that there was no hope, and it could only be the eldest and second child who paid the money.
Old Lady Zhu didn't expect this, and scolded directly at the eldest son and second son, "What are you two doing with a pestle like wood, hurry up and help, it's all food." ”
"Mother, the road down the mountain is slippery, and it can be safer to go up the mountain. The food has fallen like this, we can help it or not, it's all the same. Zhu Chengyong told the truth directly.
"That's your brother and nephew, you're really cold-blooded. You don't dare to go down, let Yuanshi and Yuansheng go down. Old lady Zhu turned her head and looked around, and found that Zhu Yuanji was not there.
She thought of the rumors in the village, and immediately began to scold, "Qian Dani, did you force my Xiucai grandson away?" Where is Motoyoshi? Our Zhu family finally confessed a showman, you, you were actually forced away, if something happens to my family Yuanji, I can't spare you. ”
Grandma Zhu touched her ears, it didn't matter at all.
If she wants to scold, she scolds hard, anyway, she doesn't care, in front of so many people, she doesn't want to talk back.
But Zhu Qianqian was not happy, grandma is so good, why should she be scolded by this old woman, she shouted loudly, "My father is a bad guy, my grandma is a good person, you are not allowed to scold my grandma, otherwise there will be thunder in the sky!" ”
Her voice fell, and the sky was really thundering.
