Chapter 8 Building a Wall
Lingnan is a land of fish and rice, so there is no shortage of water as long as there are fish. Grandfather Wei Zhixun also heard from the older generation that
They fled to Zhuangyuan Village, where there were many talented people and they settled down there, passing the family tradition from generation to generation and expanding their family.
Zhuangyuan Town is composed of 9 villages, stretching from Hunan in the north to Guangdong in the south. Zhuangyuan Village is the largest village. Chen and Wu are the most common surnames, and the village chief is elected from only these two surnames, and there have been dozens of such village chiefs.
There was a person with a small surname who was the village chief. After half a month, the two villages almost got into a fight over the distribution of water (rice water). In the end, the Chen clan took the blame.
When I woke up in the morning, my granddaughter Qianqian said she was going to ask her good friend Wu Yuzhu to buy a few more bougainvilleas to plant.
After feeding the chickens, geese and ducks, Wei Zhixun sat alone on a stone bench at the door of his house to take a rest. Looking at the bougainvillea planted by his granddaughter regaining life, he couldn't help but fetch a bucket of water to water the flowers.
Grandpa Wei Zhixun used to raise pigs and rabbits. The rabbit was a pregnant female rabbit he caught while hunting, so he was reluctant to slaughter it.
The granddaughter Qianqian disliked the smell of pig manure, and she didn't have a spare house to raise rabbits for a large family, and cattle were too expensive to buy, so she only raised chickens and geese.
In the livestock mud house, a few pheasants with clipped wings thought that their boss had sent them food again, so they rushed to the front.
Grandpa laughed in silence. People die for money, birds die for food. All things in the world are just trying to have food in their stomachs. Hehehe
Grandpa walked around the fence and saw that the bougainvillea was indeed a bit sparse. He glanced at his homestead of more than 200 square meters and lamented that his family was still too poor. Only the homestead was the best dowry for his granddaughter.
The ornamental bamboos that never grew big were sparse and could no longer stop passers-by from peeping. Thinking of his granddaughter being bullied by that bastard in the hotel and almost ruining her life, Wei Zhixun couldn't help but clench his fists.
My grandfather didn't know about it at first, but Li Zhi was put in a sack and beaten up and lay in the hospital for a week. The story was spread in a very magical way. Some said he was possessed by a ghost, some said he was framed for molesting a decent woman, and some said the real owner of the Aiqun Hotel was in Kyoto, and he was just cleaning up the mess.
There are all kinds of rumors, Li Zhi is very unpopular. Smart people also thought that it might be a rumor spread by the women of the Li family. They heard that the two were getting divorced, and thought that the granddaughter was depressed for a few days at that time, so they guessed it. What's infuriating is that I learned it from someone else.
Or maybe he, as a grandfather, was too weak. After calculating his savings, Grandpa Wei Zhixun decided to build a 1.2-meter-high red brick wall outside the bamboo forest.
We cannot change the poor environment immediately and live in a blue brick courtyard, but at least we need to build a wall. Our granddaughter is getting more and more beautiful, so it is inevitable that some ignorant people will come to cause trouble.
Wei Zhixun went to find Chen Daliang, the husband of the neighbor auntie mentioned by Qianqian. It takes two or three men to build a wall.
After thinking for a while, Wei Zhixun went back to his room, got a pack of cigarettes, and went straight to Daliang's house. An hour later, he returned home in high spirits. The helper for building the wall was finally agreed.
The next day, Chen Daliang rode his bicycle to the brick factory with all his strength and ordered 10 red bricks. He thought that if he ordered too many red bricks, he could tear down his mud wall and replace them with red bricks. He bought more and saved yuan, which was a great deal.
The eldest son, who is 19 years old this year, has been dating two girls but failed. Ultimately, it is because the family is too poor. Uncle Wei only has one daughter and he thinks so far ahead. His family should work hard to keep up.
In this society, the poorer you are, the more people bully you. The more successful you are, the less likely people will dare to do anything bad to you.
********++++**********++++++************
Qianqian said goodbye to Zhang Mei. After thinking it over, Qianqian decided to hide Zhang Mei. The reason was that she didn't know whether the story was true or not. Secondly, she couldn't hide the fact that she was harassed by the old man from her grandfather. Instead, she would have an extra grandfather who would be worried!
Besides, in the past 15 years, she had not encountered any major problems that she could not overcome. After writing Zhang Mei's phone number into the phone book, Qianqian picked up a workbook and began to calculate the results.
Another week passed, and life was still peaceful. It seemed that Zhang Mei had never appeared. After dinner, the countryside was a little quiet, and occasionally one could hear the sound of cicadas chirping, a few dogs barking, and children crying.
Neighbor Aunt Zhang Chunhua came to visit with a few bunches of loquats in her hand.
The dog started barking, and Auntie Zhang Chunhua's voice shouted outside the door: "Qianqian, Uncle Zhixun, is anyone home?"
Qianqian hurried over to meet him, and patted Dahei with her recently tanned hands to signal him to stop barking. Dahuang, who was about to give birth and was taking a nap, also followed him cautiously. It's good to have a dog to guard the house, but it's hard to train it to understand human language, for fear of it biting people and causing lawsuits.
Dahei's mother is a police dog. Two years ago, my grandfather went to the owner's house several times before he finally welcomed Xiaohei home. Later, Xiaohei kidnapped Xiaohuang from outside. After waiting for a few days, no one came to look for him, so my grandfather had to kindly take the two little dogs in and keep them together. I originally hoped that Xiaohei and Xiaohuang would become husband and wife, but in the end they ended up being siblings. Alas.
Xiao Huang eventually became Da Huang, and the father of the puppy in her belly is unknown... There are more than ten rural families who have dogs at home... It's not easy to solve the case
Neighbor Aunt Zhang Chunhua smiled and raised the loquat in her hand.
He said loudly: "Qianqian, the loquats that your child's father planted this year are big and sweet. Let you have a taste of them, hehe."
Qianqian was craving for this and her eyes were full of smiles.
Zhang Chunhua looked at the new wall made of red bricks and topped with sharp glass pieces, and exclaimed: "This kind of wall makes me feel safe just by looking at it, hahaha."
Qianqian said proudly: "It's all thanks to Uncle Chen's help. When you need help, my grandfather will definitely cooperate with the time."
Zhang Chunhua looked at Wei Qianqian with a doting look in her eyes: "It's a pity that my family is not blessed. I would be willing to live ten years shorter to have such an outstanding daughter like you."
Qianqian was shocked and hurriedly shook her head and stamped her feet, saying: "Aunt, please don't have such terrible thoughts. Let's talk about it again after the strong wind blows it away. Guihua (Aunt's third daughter) will be very sad to hear it. If you like, come often. I am very happy."
Zhang Chunhua smiled with relief. She really did love this girl in vain. She was not her biological daughter, but she was better than her own. "You know, our two families might have been siblings in our previous life, which is why we are so compatible in this life. You are home alone, and I am relieved to see that you are safe. If you have any problems, just shout. There is always someone at home. Auntie has gone back to feed the chickens."
Qianqian saw her aunt out and didn't see her until she was out of sight. Then she sighed and went back to her room to make a plan.
In addition to building the wall, the gate also needs to be replaced. Thinking of my grandfather, he wanted to make his life more comfortable.
Qianqian silently swore in her heart that she must build a house as soon as possible. The current mud house will always have raindrops dripping down when it rains heavily, and it is impossible to defend against it.
Looking at the newly built red brick wall, it is estimated that most of his grandfather's savings were spent. Thinking that it was all for him, Wei Qianqian felt happy. He didn't know whether it would affect his poverty alleviation qualification. Instead of being supported for a lifetime, it is better to stand up on his own.
Chen Daliang had one son and two daughters. The eldest son was Zhaoming. The second daughter was Xiuming and the third daughter was Guihua. In this village, because they were neighbors, the two families had the best relationship.
It’s just that everyone has different desires, and as we grow up, we tend to drift apart.
