Chapter 56 The Mountain Village Without Brightness
Chapter 56 The mountain village without light
Zhao Chunhe's words made Uncle Wang more and more panicked, and immediately there was a guilty look on his face.
"I don't understand what you are saying. Why does this mountain belong to you?"
"Is it really you, you big fool, you actually stole my Sichuan clams?"
I remembered that during the day, I was frightened to the point of being scared out of my wits by the cry of a wolf. I ran a long way before I stopped.
But he was unwilling to go back like this, but he didn't dare to go back to a place where Sichuan clams were found, so he ran to find another place.
When he thought of this and looked at what Xing Rui and Old Man Wang were carrying on their backs and carrying in their hands, he knew it was over and the entire army had been wiped out.
"I saved up for three years to pick them, but you, a fool like you, took them all away. You are so damn cruel."
"Then I can only blame you for being stupid. Let's go, Uncle Wang."
Xing Rui took Old Wang's hand and left. Zhao Chunhe raised the small shovel in his hand behind him.
I wanted to go directly to Xing Rui for a while, but in the end I still didn't have the courage, so I watched Xing Rui and Old Man Wang disappear outside the woods.
When I passed by my house, I saw that the old house had long since been demolished.
There were several large piles of adobe piled in the yard, as well as some miscellaneous things. It was so dark that all the black people went home to rest.
"It seems like it's working pretty fast. If it keeps going like this, I think it won't take more than thirty days to build the house."
Xing Rui looked at everything in front of her with a smile, and inexplicably the appearance of the new house after it was built appeared in her mind.
"Let's go home."
After all, Uncle Wang was old, and he was hungry and tired after a busy day. Xing Rui hurriedly followed him towards home.
"Cuanbei?"
Aunt Wang was also surprised when she heard that two people came back carrying two large baskets of Sichuan clams.
"I heard this thing is valuable. How did you find it?"
Xing Rui looked at Uncle Wang and said,
"I happened to come across it and dug it back."
"mother……"
The little girl ran out and hugged Xing Rui's thigh.
"Mom, why did you come back just now? Duoduo went to the door to see you several times, but didn't see mom coming back. I'm so worried about mom!"
"Oh, is my Duoduo good today?"
Xing Rui leaned over and hugged her little daughter, asking her very fondly.
"Well, Mom, I'm so good. I even scooped water for my brother, and I also helped Grandma Wang feed the chickens."
"What a good boy."
"Mom, wash your hands."
Ever since Xing Rui started asking her to wash her hands before eating, Liang Weiwei kept it in mind.
"Little sister, mom is tired. Please let mom wash her hands and eat before you talk to mom, okay?"
"Um,"
Little Duoduo obediently got out of the way, but ran away in a hurry.
Xing Rui looked at her second daughter carrying a large wooden basin, her little hands shaking non-stop, and hurriedly took it.
"Mom, I'll give you some soap."
Xiao Duoduo was also anxious and took the fresh gadgets that her mother had brought out from the house and handed them to her mother.
"Well, you're so good,"
Xing Rui asked them both while washing her hands.
"Have you eaten?"
"Duoduo ate, but Weiwei didn't want to eat anything. She insisted on waiting for you and her Grandpa Wang to come back to eat together."
Aunt Wang walked out with a smile at this time.
"Silly girl, hurry up and eat. The hot pot has just been taken out."
"Okay, eat, eat."
Xing Rui scratched Liang Weiwei's little head. Xiao Duoduo reacted quickly and hurriedly rushed forward and said,
"Mom, Duoduo also wanted to wait for Mom, but Duoduo's stomach kept growling, so I just ate a little."
"Oh, it turns out that my Duoduo is also waiting for mother to come back for dinner? She only ate a little bit, so she must be hungry now, right?"
Xiao Duoduo nodded, and Liang Weiwei looked at her little sister and smiled faintly, then reached out and took her hand.
"Come on, let's go back to the house with mother to have dinner."
Since arriving at this place, Xing Rui has never seen what a lamp looks like.
At night, except for the moon in the sky, the whole village can find a little light except for Li Zheng's house, and it really feels like falling into hell.
"Uncle, after picking out the big Sichuan clams, I will take them to the town to sell them.
I see that our village is completely dark at night, but Li Zheng’s house is lit.
What kind of thing does Li Zheng use at home? I want to sell it and buy one."
Uncle Wang, who was eating, was stunned and looked at Xing Rui for a long time before he said,
"It's an oil lamp. The girl sleeps during the day. Why buy that thing? It costs money to boil oil. We ordinary people don't need that thing."
"Girl."
Aunt Wang also said something over there.
"Farmers usually can't afford that. We only order it a few times during the Chinese New Year, and it's pretty good."
Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Xing Rui smiled.
"That means, ma'am, you have an oil lamp at home, I just need to buy some lamp oil?"
"That's hard to bear. We can't bear to put that oil in cooking. How can we bear to put it in an oil lamp?"
Oh! Hearing this, Xing Rui understood. He dared to think too much and thought he was using some kind of diesel engine oil.
Ha... I didn't expect that eating lard would be enough.
Also, I'm afraid there is no such thing as diesel in this era.
"Isn't it just oil? Mom, please take out the oil lamp tomorrow, and we will light the oil lamp at night, so that it will look like we are living a good life."
Aunt Wang wanted to say something else, but Uncle Wang secretly tugged her under the table, and then she stopped talking.
After eating, Xing Rui went to ask his eldest son, Xing Zihe.
"Zihe, are you out in the sun today?"
"Well, dad held me in the sun for a while. Mom, I'm much better. I don't have to lie down like this anymore."
"Don't worry, I've seen your wounds. They healed quickly. You'll need to recover for a few days."
When our house is built, you can stand up and work."
Saying that, Xing Rui stroked the little guy's head, got up and helped Aunt Wang clear the dishes.
It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly, so I simply washed it and it was done.
After walking out of the yard, Uncle Wang was sitting on the wooden pillar in the yard smoking a cigarette. It seemed that he was getting ready for bed.
"You're not going to run to town carrying these things on your back, are you?"
Liang Sheng, who was sitting in the yard, spoke at this time, and Xing Rui sneered.
"You have to pay for taking the bus. It's not like you don't know whether we have money or not."
When Uncle Wang saw the young couple talking, he got up and entered the house.
Liang Sheng also glanced at Xing Rui. Although the sky was dark, Xing Rui could clearly feel his unfriendly eyes.
"Your injury is almost healed. You don't want to stay here for nothing, do you?"
This is a bit hurtful to say.
"I was injured and you saved my life, but I also saved your life, right?"
This man is actually so thick-skinned. Does carrying him back count as saving his life?
"Okay, we're even. I asked you whether you wanted to stay or leave, and it was you who said you wanted to stay.
Since we stay here, we naturally have to work to earn food, and this is a matter of course."
After saying that, Xing Rui stood up and said in an indifferent manner,
"Tomorrow, you start to sort out these Sichuan clams according to their size, big, medium and small.
It’s not a long life, and I don’t want to hear someone say the word tired.”
