Chapter 73: Grandpa's explanation, meet tonight

The next morning, Ivanqiu got up early and carried a burden on his back, taking advantage of the glimmer of light to walk into the mountains.

Since it was still raining yesterday, when I woke up early today, I found that there was fog around the house.

It is obvious that there will be a good sunny day today, and Ivanqiu is walking on a somewhat wet muddy path.

The road is not that easy to walk. If there are bumps and bumps, there will be a bumpy water hole. It is possible that you step in without you knowing it or when you are distracted.

It may even make you inexplicably step on such a pile of mud, and there may be a pile of dog shit hidden in the mud. If you are even more lucky, you will hit a piece of cow dung directly.

In the countryside, this kind of common luck that is unlucky is most likely to happen under the big soles of someone around you.

However, some people who step on the ground think they are unlucky, while others are full of joy for this. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of wonders in the world.

It’s like some people keep away from you, and there are always some people or ones who regard you as treasures.

Most of them regard cow dung as treasures, and they are older people, and they know the simplest truth to make the best use of them.

The so-called "use of things" is to use their most valuable side, not to wave goodbye because of their ugly and dirty side.

If you want a good harvest, you have to rely on it. If you want to have a meal, you have to rely on it.

Except it can cultivate full grains of rice, there is nothing else in this world, which is cheaper and more valuable than this.

Ivan has long legs in autumn and is also a young and agile body.

It can be said that if you encounter mountains and cross mountains and cross water, you will not stump him at all, nor will you block his way.

Ivanqiu wore it when he went out this morning, a pair of liberation shoes.

In that era, wearing liberation shoes, on the swords and under the sea of ​​fire, and with mowed grass, many old people would secretly yell and scold, "You prodigal son, you don't know how to cherish such good shoes at all. Are you rich second generation or rich second generation? You are like this... In short, you are a prodigal son."

In the world of young people, the pursuit of comfort is always the first priority.

Then, it is no surprise that Ivanqiu, as a young man, went up the mountain wearing a pair of good liberation shoes.

Today, at this time, Ivanqiu has arrived at a place that he had already thought about when he went out.

There are no very lush weeds here, but it is obviously no problem to let him cut his feet once he has grass.

It took a lot of effort and took four hours to cut the weeds. With the ease of hand and feet, Ivanqiu quickly tied up the weeds.

Because the mountain road is not easy to get down and it is a bit steep, Ivanqiu was thinking about how to get the grass to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly his eyes lit up, a light flashed in his head, and a word "get out", and used the most primitive and clumsy method to solve this problem.

The grass was quickly pushed left and right, and sent to the foot of the mountain.

Ivanqiu felt that he was still a little spiritual. Everything turned out to be so simple. Nothing was more simple than this. He had a new level of time and effort.

Just when he was proud and down the stone steps, the stone surface was a little slippery and the person had not yet stood firm, but the center of gravity of the person was already pouring into the foot that he stepped out. It was said that it was soon, and just one foot, and once it slipped, the whole person sat on the stone, and the flesh and stone were competing hardness.

Meat is always meat, and eggs are always eggs. It cannot become a physical reverse growth of diamonds.

Ivanqiu twisted his face and slapped hard with his hands, and he had just rubbed his butt all the way.

He felt so painful that he grinned and glared at the rock he had just stepped on. If he could use his eyes to shatter the rocks, he would wish to turn the places he had just dropped into pieces.

The mud was covered with mud on his pants, then he raised his head and looked around and searched to see if there was anyone, and accidentally saw him in a messy moment.

As he wished, the mist around was still covering the surroundings, and no one passed by, and the surroundings were even more silent.

Except for the vague sound of quails and cuckoos, the rest were still as quiet as usual.

Ivanqiu bent down with some difficulty and grabbed the Chonghao, then used the Chonghao to sit down on the clean stone on the side, so that his stimulating little heart would be slightly relieved.

While pressing her purple thighs, Ivanqiu thought about Li Simeng’s birthday today, and thought about all the gifts yesterday.

"Today...today, stay at home."

After a while of rest, Ivanqiu simply packed up and walked home with the grass along the way he came.

After returning home, I changed my clothes, put some medicine on my injured hands and legs, and simply bandaged them.

Then I went to my grandfather's house to see if my grandfather was better and if there was any place to help.

When I came to my grandfather's bed, my grandfather's mental state was obviously much better than yesterday.

"Qiu, your second brother came here to ask me to help choose a life this morning. He will get a house after a while. Have you received any news from the foreman and when will you go out to work?"

Ivanqiu was not surprised because before, my second brother often mentioned to him what the current tension and conflicts were and how intense the conflicts were.

During the day, late at night, when he was alone with Li Simeng, he would always think of his second brother, and then compare his life and his future.

He also has times when he is worried about family discord.

Although he is not married yet, he is close to getting married, and in a true relationship, how can he not let him associate it?

Ivanqiu looked at his grandfather calmly on his face and said, "So far, I haven't received any notice yet. Grandpa, you should recover from your injuries first, and it won't be a big deal if you wait for a while."

Grandpa Yi Shicai was a little relieved. He looked at the grandson in front of him and was very pleasant no matter how he looked at it.

"Grow up." I thought to myself with a secret emotion.

After Ivanqiu came out of his grandfather's house, he walked alone towards the entrance of the village.

"Yeah, I heard you're going out to work, right?"

It’s not someone else who speaks, it’s Ewanda.

Iwanda carried the load, and there was only a small amount of pork left inside, and she raised her head proudly.

This is probably because the newlyweds have just passed and the newlyweds are still not satisfied.

Just when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he had already seen Ivanqiu from afar, standing under the big banyan tree and facing the pond in a daze.

He subconsciously glanced at the pond, but nothing seemed to change.

I remembered the day before yesterday, at the dinner table, I heard someone discussing that Ivanqiu and a foreman in the village were about to go out to play with mud and make money.

When I first heard it, I came over curiously and heard who I went out with.

Just as he approached, someone asked the first question, "Who is he going out with? Tell me, I don't want to go too. Really, I've been staying at home for too long and I have no income."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, and his voice was filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Another young man, half-joking, said, "You... I guess you can't go there, you won't be able to play with mud, unless you have a very good relationship with him, then you don't have to."

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Tell me, who is it?"

A hint of sympathy appeared in the young man's eyes, and he replied in a low voice: "It's Yihao."

The young man who talked was Yi Wanjiang, and he was about to go out to work with Yi Hao.

Long before, he often traveled to Yihao, a little worker.

Not long ago, while drinking, Yihao told him in person that there were still a few guys in the village going with him.

When the middle-aged man heard the word Yihao, he was surprised and shook his head and sighed.

"If I were a few years younger, I would definitely be able to go out."

Ivanjiang has long been used to this kind of reaction among middle-aged men.

Ivanjiang said slowly, "Yes, if you are a few years younger, we can go out together."

When Yihao was recruiting people, he never said that he would not want it when he was old.

Whenever he comes to ask him if he is still looking for someone, the smart foreman first depends on the other person's age.

It depends on the age to recruit people, but it will be discussed at that time, but it does not prevent people from keen on making money and making money.

Every time someone comes to Yihao's house as a guest, if Yihao sees that the other party is over forty, he will shirk it for various reasons. Either there are enough people or answer in a more tactful way. It is still uncertain how many people are needed after waiting for a few days.

He also returned the gifts given by others with tactfulness.

Over time, the local villagers also found out what the reason for this foreman who used to refuse gifts and loved to drink was to keep his mind clear under the temptation of wine and meat, and to uphold his duties.

It turns out that I am older than I don’t want it, but the garden is that simple.

Older people will naturally be slow to move and physically, and of course the value of the production will not meet the expected requirements.

And I also heard that when this smart foreman negotiates wages with his boss, he takes one-stop to monopolize all the contract rights, and naturally he earns more money.

When choosing a young and strong boy, his productivity is naturally far beyond expectations and is often completed ahead of schedule. Then the young man is attracted by the foreman's eyes.

"I don't know yet, I'm waiting for notification."

"I heard that your grandfather fell, but he has recovered better now." Yiwanda said, lifting the gauze covered with the basket, taking out a piece of lean meat, and handing it to Yiwanqiu, "Take it to make some soup for grandfather, it's still fresh."

Ivanqiu did not postpone it, but took over the lean meat from Ivanda.

"Then I'm not polite, I'll go back and give you the money."

When Iwanda heard this, she was a little unhappy, "What money do I want? I left it to my grandfather, not for you."

When Ivanqiu got home, she chopped the meat, added some minced ginger and cooked it simply, and brought it to my grandfather.

"This is given by Iwanda. I was afraid that the weather would be too hot and it would break if I put it, so I cooked them all."

"You put it here first, I have something to tell you." Grandpa said to Ivanqiu weakly.

Then he tried to break free from the bed and sat up. Ivanqiu felt particularly struggling to get up when he saw his grandfather got up.

He hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, stepped forward and helped his grandfather up. He waited until his grandfather sat down and let go, and grabbed the hand on his shoulder.

Grandpa's hands explored under the pillow, and then took out an old and bulging cloth bag.

Grandpa stared at the cloth bag in his hand without hesitation and whispered: "If you take this money, there will be a lot of useful things in the future. Grandpa has been savings over the years.

I also hope that one day I can watch you, have a family, marry someone, and live together. Your second sister-in-law is now blaming your second brother. I have seen it all these years. If you marry them, you will walk no matter who is not your son. Your second brother doesn’t. I don’t want you to face such a problem in the future. If you take it, marry someone, and treat them well."

Grandpa said earnestly.

Ivanqiu was silent for a long time. He didn't know how to pick it up. At this moment, the cloth bag handed over by his grandfather.

Yes, when I was a child, I often lived with my grandfather. Among the brothers, he and his grandfather had been with him the longest time.

Now, my grandfather explains to himself one by one the simplest side of getting married, just like he explains the funeral.

Ivanqiu felt extremely guilty. If it weren't for helping him drive chickens and ducks, he wouldn't have fallen and bedridden.

Until then, he still refused to spend more money and went to the hospital for examination and treatment. Even the barefoot doctor refused to invite him, just to leave the money for himself.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, my grandfather said in a tone: "Come on, take it."

Ivanqiu still refused to pick her up. Grandpa lowered his hand and whispered, "I will make a living for you and the girl. August next year is the best for you to get married. Before that, you have to build a house so that you can get started. The money I have to rely on is not enough. You also need to go out to work and save some money to raise enough money for building the house. Since you are unwilling to take it, I will save it for you first. When you really need it, I will give it to you."

After saying that, grandpa turned around and put the wallet back under the pillow.

Ivanqiu still didn't speak. He felt that at this moment, he really didn't know what language to express. The blood between his relatives was thicker than water, and there was also a kind of love called silent.

Ivanqiu brought the hot lean meat soup to her grandfather, "Did you see the days when I got up with the house?"

Grandpa took the bowl handed over by Ivanqiu and said in a hoarse voice: "I've seen it. Next March, after you build the house, you can get married and your days will be arranged for you."

After Ivanqiu came back from grandpa's house, she felt a little sleepy because she was used to nap and fell asleep on the pillow.

Just as Ivanqiu was sleeping soundly, someone pushed open the door, stepped into the room, and kicked Ivanqiu's calf.

A stinging pain made Ivanqiu jump out of his sleep.

He thought he was still in a dream, but suddenly opened his eyes and felt that a figure in front of him blocked the sunlight from the house.

He rubbed his eyes with his hands, and a tall, thin and dark young man caught his eye.

"Yeah!" Surprise and disbelief overlapped, and became an incredible expression. Ivanqiu seemed to have thought of something, secretly suppressed the joy that was about to bloom in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "Is there... news?"

Ivanjiang's lips raised slightly, and joy also burst out, "Why are you so sure, it must be that news?"

"Uh..." Ivanqiu was speechless, spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders. "I guessed, otherwise you wouldn't..." paused for a moment.

Ivanjiang took Ivanqiu's words and said, "I won't show up here, right? Well, it's reasonable, but I'm not telling you this, but a girl asked me to bring you a message, and she said she was waiting for you at the entrance of the village."

There was a girl waiting for me at the entrance of the village? Ivanqiu seemed to understand it instantly, but she was a little confused.

If it were her, why did she have to ask herself to the entrance of the village? Could it be that this person does not know her?

Ivanqiu frowned and said, "You... know?"

"I don't know." Ivanjiang's answer was erratic, without any hesitation.

Ivanqiu thought to himself, could there be another girl you don’t know? But at the same time, he began to deny this idea again.

Why? Because Ivani was young, he was not born and raised here, but came back after he grew up.

When I was a child, Yi Wanjiang did not have the surname Yi, but Huang.

The reason why he later changed his surname was because his parents divorced and the two parties fought for custody of their children.

He also went to court, but in the end, because the man was violent and he was also tempted to bet.

In short, the woman was finally awarded, and his mother took him back to her parents' home. Because she really didn't want to recall those unbearable days, her mother decided to change her child's name.

This was where Ivanjiang came later, but Ivanjiang was not opposed to his mother doing this.

On the contrary, I am very happy, supportive, and like to give myself the name because at the previous home, the previous name was so ugly. It was Huang Shushu, a big man, and it made people shudder.

Ivanqiu stepped on the heels, exposed socks, trouser legs placed in the socks, and fluffy hair, the first feeling that people felt was that it was dragging and messy.

The girl standing at the entrance of the village did not show too exaggerated expression when she saw Ivanqiu.

Instead, Ivanqiu was shooting back and forth with his eyes, repeatedly confirmed and stepped forward, and said politely, "Is it Ivanqiu?"

When Ivanqiu heard the sound a little familiar, she suddenly raised her head, stared at the girl who was talking to her, and smiled and said, "Yes..."

The one who came was Li Simeng's sister Li Siyan.

Ivanqiu quickly bent down and sorted out his heels and trousers.

"My sister was not here today. She was cooking at home. I asked me to bring you a message. See you at the entrance of the village at 10 o'clock tonight."

Looking at Li Siyan's back as she left, Iwanqiu thought, tonight's entrance of the village?

The flowers were already delivered yesterday, so I just went there empty-handedly.

After ten o'clock, Ivanqiu came to the entrance of Huaihua Village, relying on the faint starlight alone.

I could see some couples in groups of three or three walking on the path at the entrance of the village, sometimes laughing happily, sometimes whispering, sometimes... undescribable.
