Riding a donkey back to 60s

Back in the house, Li Qiuniang asked: "Sister, when are you and Yewa planning to move? The little wild boar that Xia Ye brought back has already been marinated by my Li Qiu last night, don't worry! "

"I have to go and have a look at the house over there first, and move there as soon as it's cleaned up! If there's nothing wrong with it, Yewa's injury hasn't healed yet, so I'm useless!" Li Qiuniang replied weakly, I've been very tired for two days.

Li Qiuniang asked Xia's mother again what happened to the injury on her face, and Xia's mother explained everything that happened at noon, but only concealed the process of Xia Ye's attack.Mother Xia was still a little worried about whether Xia Ye had hurt her head and something went wrong.

"Hey, it's all over, Yewa and you will have a better time in the future, at least we don't have to wait on the big family, and we won't be beaten innocently again!" Li Qiuniang comforted Mother Xia.

Li Dashan was a little awkward watching them chatting about family life, so he hurriedly said to Xia Mu and Li Qiuniang: "Second sister-in-law, his mother, you are chatting, Ye Wa and I will go to the east room to have a look, and put it back quickly." come out!!"

In this way, Li Dashan took Xia Ye to the east to Grandma Li's house.The location of Grandma Li’s house was actually a bit out of the village. It was located between the village and the mountains on the east side. There were neighbors on the left and right of Xia’s house.On the way, Li Dashan told Xia Ye about the situation of Grandma Li's family, because Li's family was an outsider, and they bought the land in the village with money and settled down. He died of illness, and later in the year of famine, Grandma Li's son ate poisonous wild fruit by mistake because of hunger, and he also left.Very unfortunate family.

When I went to the place, I saw that the shoji outside had been crumbling.No one has lived in it for more than half a year, and the yard has been covered with weeds, making it look very desolate.There is no furniture, etc., and it is estimated that it has been moved away.There are a total of three houses, which are basically the same as other houses in the village, facing south. The main house is on the north, and the main room is inside. There is a suite on the left and right sides for living. It's black and moldy, and it looks like some places have been damp for a long time. Looking up, the roof has leaked, and animal feces can be seen on the ground. It is estimated that wild animals have settled here at night.The gray and dark walls around have begun to peel off, and a musty smell of wet mud is coming out.

The two went out of the main house, only to see that there was a wing room in each of the east and west rooms, only half the size of Xia's house, besides these, there was also a lower room for storing miscellaneous things, next to the east wing room.The kitchen is adjacent to the west wing, very close to the gate, but there is no pot in the stove. If you move in, you need to buy a pot. The firewood shed may be demolished or collapsed. Some firewood is scattered around the kitchen on the west side of the gate.

If you look at it roughly, they are all Sanheni (mixed with wormwood or straw, clay, and gravel, and can also be used as adobe) wooden and earthen houses. If they are repaired, only the frame structure will not be changed, and the roof and walls will be rebuilt. .If it is not without conditions, Xia Ye really wants to tear down and rebuild.

The current situation can only be repaired as soon as possible.Li Dashan taught Xia Ye one by one where repairs are needed, what materials are needed, and how to find someone to renovate the roof, household utensils, tableware, etc. need to be repurchased, and Xia Ye will be the head of the family in the future, and now Li Dashan can help. When you become an adult, you have to take over and do it yourself, and you will become familiar with these one by one.

Looking at the empty room, Xia Ye remembered that there was only a cabinet for Xia's mother's dowry at home, and there was no other furniture, so she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Dashan, what about the furniture? Do you need to buy it?"

After hearing this, Li Dashan laughed and said: "Where can I buy it! Foolish boy, our folks in the mountains, whether they are moving or getting married, we always hire someone to beat them when we prepare furniture. The third household, Li Jianguo, you have to call him Uncle Jianguo, he is specialized in doing this. He was an apprentice carpenter in his early years and studied with a master master for five years. He is the most powerful craftsman in our ten miles and eight villages!"

Li Dashan slapped his forehead and reminded: "Yewa, if you want to buy furniture, you have to go to the brigade to apply. Now everything belongs to the state, so you can't cut it down. You can go to Secretary Zhao and take the furniture from this house by the way." The land deed and other things have been done, as well as your and your mother's household registration, now you are the head of your family, work hard!" Li Dashan patted Xia Ye on the shoulder.

Xia Ye nodded, wrote down what Li Dashan said to him one by one, and summed it up, and he was not familiar with the adults in the village, so he hurriedly asked Li Dashan: "Uncle Dashan, you will have to troublesome uncles who come to help you." You, I am so black!"

Li Dashan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just wanted to get to know you all, and let the men in the village know that your Yewa has also started to support the door. When I go back, I will lead you to find someone!"

Xia Ye hurriedly smiled and thanked: "Uncle Dashan, you have worked hard, and you can teach me directly in the future. If you don't tell me, I really don't know how to do it!"

Li Dashan reminded: "There is one more thing, you have to think about how to calculate the wages! Is the meal included? All these have to be explained in advance!"

Xia Ye thought for a while, with money in hand, the wages are easy to talk about, but the meal can't be provided, and there is no place to cook. After all, now that he and Xia's mother just separated and have no cooking stoves, it is estimated that they will have to live in Li Dashan for a few days. Make friends at home.

"Uncle Dashan, you can pay more according to what everyone gives me, and I won't pay for the meal. My mother is not in good health, so I can't do it either, so I won't take this trouble!" Xia Ye gave the decision to Li Dashan said.

Li Dashan nodded, thinking that Yewa was a man of success.

After discussing, the two decided to pay for the work, and then rushed to visit suitable and hard-working folks. Xia Ye followed up and contacted them one by one, and the uncles and uncles called each other affectionately. , there is no disapproval.

For Xia Ye, he thought about repairing the house and delaying everyone's rest time. If he did it during the rest of the work, he could prepare in advance. After all, with the golden finger, it would save energy compared to others.Xia Ye planned to do these preparations by herself, after all, her strength had also increased.In fact, there is no special requirement for half-aged children to work, as long as they have enough pigweed. According to the current situation, Xia Ye is handy in doing it, not to mention there is room for cheating, and there is no constant attention from Xia's family. The Shall Not Be Free is completely different.

The two didn't go home to eat until after dark, and went directly to Li Dashan's house without going back to the shack.As expected, Mother Xia and Li Qiuniang had already started cooking. The two were talking and laughing, and Mother Xia's complexion improved a lot. This made Xia Ye feel relieved, and declined the overnight arrangement after dinner. The mother and the mother went back to the shack to clean up.There may be a lot of things in a day, both Xia Ye and Xia's mother are physically and mentally exhausted, so they both rest silently.

The next day Xia Ye bid farewell to Xia's mother, and went to the back mountain to shoot pigweed with a basket on her back, took the opportunity to hunt two pheasants nearby, and packed them in a basket.When it was dark and Xia Ye arrived at the secretary's house, he shouted outside the door: "Uncle Shutian, are you at home?"

Liu Haiying, the secretary's daughter-in-law, was wiping her hands before opening the door while listening to the voice in the kitchen. When she saw Xia Ye carrying a basket on her back, she enthusiastically took it over: "Yeba, why are you here so late? What's the matter? Come in and sit down!" While talking, let Xia Ye into the house.

After Xia Ye entered the yard, he quickly put down the basket, pushed aside the pigweed on it, took out two pheasants from below, turned around and put them on the ground in the yard before standing up.

Xia Ye didn't go in either, so he asked first, "Auntie, is Uncle Shutian at home? I thanked Uncle Shutian the day before yesterday, and when I went to hunt pigweed today, two pheasants happened to fall in the previous trap, so bring them to Uncle Auntie is making up her body."

"Oh, why are you so polite, kid? I'll take it back later and take good care of your body, sorry to see you. Come into the room, your uncle is here, drinking on the kang! You go directly into the room and sit!" Liu Haiying said Then he shouted: "Master, Yewa is here!"

Inside, Zhao Shutian heard this and hurriedly said: "Come in, come in, you're injured, why don't you just stay at home? Yeba! Come and sit on this side of the kang!" He pointed to the other side of the kang table.

Xia Ye hurriedly said: "Uncle Shutian, I won't sit down. I went into the mountain today to get back some wild animals from the trap, and gave them a taste for my uncle and aunt. Yesterday, Uncle Dashan and I went to the East House to have a look. There is nothing inside, so my mother asked me to come and ask Uncle Shutian to approve a plan for chopping wood according to the regulations!"

"Well, if you come to the brigade tomorrow, I will directly issue you an approval slip. After all, it is considered a relocation. I will give you 5 approval slips, is it enough?" Zhao Shutian said.

Xia Ye touched the bandaged head and said, "Uncle Shutian, I don't know how much is 5 Fang?"

Zhao Shutian was overjoyed, forgetting that the child hadn't passed the incident yet: "Don't write down the square number first, first approve the note, you get the wood first, and then fill it out when it's used up, and about the household registration and land deed, when the study group returns. I will take it to the village and do it for you."

Xia Ye rubbed his head and nodded naively: "Well, I don't understand this, I listen to Uncle Shutian!"

Zhao Shutian nodded Xia Ye's head: "Your injury has not healed yet, so don't go to work, and if you don't go to Houshan, don't go, take good care of your injury!"

When he heard that he didn't need to go to work, Xia Ye quickly nodded: "Well, I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Shutian, then I'll go back first, Uncle Shutian has a good rest!"

"Success, slow down on the road! Go back early! Take care of your wounds." As he said, he wanted to get off to the ground to see him off!Xia Ye hurriedly waved her hand without calling, and finally Liu Haiying sent it out. By the way, Liu Haiying took a cabbage home.
