After Tang Jianjun invited Tang Chuxia to eat a bowl of noodles, and promised her to go back to buy her gifts, this temporarily appeased Tang Chuxia, who was fried and hairy.

This process did not delay the two of them to buy some canned snacks and fruits, so they hired a donkey cart to go to their comrades-in-arms' houses.

Tang Jianjun, a comrade-in-arms, was on a diving mission, because his leg was caught by a super-large sea mussel, and when he was rescued, his leg was useless.

Now retired and farming in his hometown.

When they arrived, they happened to meet their comrades who had gone down to the field to return home.

Tang Jianjun and his comrades-in-arms hugged warmly, while Tang Chuxia looked at the village curiously.

It's wrong to say that it's a village, it's called a brigade at this time, and this village is called a Honghe brigade.

Tang Jianjun introduced Tang Chuxia to his comrades-in-arms, and the other party was very enthusiastic, and asked the children in the village to call their daughter-in-law who was still working in the field, and then took them home.

On the way, Tang Chuxia was very touched, and she understood what it was like to have her butt turned into eight petals by taking a donkey cart on the way, and why after the reform and opening up, why the country vigorously developed infrastructure.

Whoever has experienced that kind of mud road, especially the pits that pop up from time to time that the devil knows hidden under the dust, then the donkey cart has added an autonomous bouncing function.

If there is no weight on the cart, as long as the donkey runs faster, the man will fly.

When he got off the bus, Tang Chuxia felt that his soul was flying for nine days, and everyone was in a trance.

When she got out of the car, the discomfort of the impact on her body had not completely disappeared, and she saw many children in the village playing in tattered clothes, and even some children were still showing their toes and frozen into purple eggplants, but they were lying on their stomachs playing in the snow.

She didn't understand what she was doing in the ground in this weather?

Is there still a crop in the field?

But when she landed on the people who were busy outside, she realized that they were not working in the fields, but digging ditches.

Every winter, when people don't farm the land, they start digging ditches, because the land is very strong in the winter, and digging ditches can be quite difficult.

Q: Why not dig in the summer?

A: Too busy!

Anyway, when to go to work is a unified arrangement, and they will go to work if there is a work.

The comrades-in-arms beckoned them into the house.

Tang Chuxia saw that this was the rural courtyard in his concept, and she remembered that once she had seen it in a tribe in South Africa, that kind of earthen house, the courtyard wall was surrounded by tree branches rooted in the ground.

It may be that the owner of this house is a disabled person, the courtyard wall is very casual, the snow on the earthen house has not been shoveled down, not to mention, there are some places with big cracks.

The temperature in the house is not as high as outside, how do you sleep at night?

Tang Chuxia was shocked by what he saw.

And Tang Jianjun had already put down his things, took off his padded jacket and threw it to Tang Chuxia to hold, and he found a shovel and climbed onto the roof to start shoveling snow.

Early Summer of the Tang Dynasty: ......

The second brother of the relationship came here to work.

The comrade-in-arms handed Tang Chuxia a bowl of hot water, and said very crampedly: "Let the girl see the joke!" ”

Tang Chuxia took the tea, did not dislike the gap on the coarse porcelain bowl, and said with a smile: "How come, we are late!" ”

The man was even more cramped and even blushing.

"Actually, my family didn't do this before!"

Tang Chuxia was curious, could it be that there was still a story that could not be achieved?

She was holding the porcelain bowl, and the heat made her feel much more comfortable.

"I broke up, and I didn't build a new house for a while!"

He only said this, but Tang Chuxia heard endless sadness.

Combined with what the second brother told her, his comrade-in-arms has eight brothers and sisters in the family, his comrade-in-arms is the fifth, and he used to be able to send money to his family when he was a soldier, and the natural treatment was very good.

I complained that Tang Jianjun wanted to be the first to choose to come here, probably because he thought that this comrade-in-arms was having a hard time, so he came over to send something.

Her eyes fell on the rice, flour, grain and oil brought by her second brother, and when she reminded her to buy more canned food and snacks, Tang Jianjun said that she didn't understand human accidents.

At this time, I think about it, or the second brother knows best.

She couldn't comment on this kind of thing, so she could only say: "It's okay if you break up, and you and your sister-in-law are better off living your own little life!" ”

The man smiled wryly and didn't say anything more.

It is estimated that there are many things that are difficult to say, and they cannot be said.

Tang Jianjun finished shoveling snow and jumped off the roof, "I see that the roof tiles are broken a lot and need to be replaced, is there any ready-made one at home?" If not, I'll go to the secretary of the brigade! ”

The man pulled Tang Jianjun and didn't let him go, and he didn't have to look to know that there was no ready-made at home.

Tang Chuxia looked at Tang Jianjun suspiciously: "When I sent him back before, I arranged a job for him, so I don't have to live in this kind of house!" ”

He pointed at the man and yelled, "What about your job? ”

The man smiled bitterly: "I'm such a cripple, isn't work a trouble for me?" ”

Tang Jianjun roared: "Less fart, what's the trouble?" That's what the head of the regiment arranged for you, whoever dislikes you, Lao Tzu will kill whom! ”

The man whispered: "I was replaced by my little brother!" ”

Tang Jianjun was even more angry, and he couldn't wait to beat his old combat friend, but fortunately, he was stopped in time by Tang Chuxia.

This kind of thing, it's hard to say anything.

Tang Jianjun was afraid that his comrades-in-arms would be angry to death, so he went out directly to find the secretary of the brigade to get tiles, he couldn't let his comrades-in-arms freeze to death in winter, and he couldn't pass this year?

Tang Chuxia saw that the man was going to chase him out, and hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother's temper is like this, it's useless for you to stop it!" ”

The man laughed more ugly than he cried.

"I know I've lived up to everyone's expectations!"

He squatted on the ground, his legless trouser leg drooping, and he was very embarrassed by the snow foam on the ground.

Tang Chuxia didn't say anything sympathetic, but asked him: "Really don't regret it?" ”

The man rubbed his face: "What can I do if I regret it?" I was the elder brother, and he had a job to be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Tang Chuxia......

She couldn't quite understand the approach.

But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and she can't say anything.

I just felt that the future might be troublesome, and just when she didn't know what to say, someone pushed open at the gate of the courtyard.

It was a woman in a patched padded jacket, with short hair, but unfortunately too thin.

The woman was stunned for a while when she saw Tang Chuxia, and only after the man's introduction did she know that it was Tang Jianjun's sister.

"Big girl, come into the house and warm up!"

The woman went and brought a lot of firewood into the house, and in the middle of the house there was a pit dug in the house, and she lit the firewood, and the orange light of the fire illuminated the dilapidated house, and although the cold wind was still pouring into it, there was some heat.

"Big sister is hungry, right? I cook! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she went to open the noodle jar, and Tang Chuxia took a look.

There was only a thin layer inside, and the woman carefully swept it for a long time, but it was only half a bowl of flour.

A whimper slowly came out, and then the woman broke down and cried: "I can't live this day anymore!" ”
