After Tang Jianjun treated Tang Chuxia to a bowl of noodles and promised to go back and buy her a gift, he temporarily appeased the angry Tang Chuxia.

This process did not delay the two of them from buying some canned snacks and fruits, and then hired a donkey cart to go to their comrade's house.

Comrade Tang Jianjun was on a diving mission when his leg was pinched by a super-large sea clam. When he was rescued later, his leg was disabled.

Now he is retired and farming in his hometown.

When they arrived, they happened to meet their comrades who were going home.

Tang Jianjun hugged his comrades warmly, while Tang Chuxia looked at the village curiously.

It was said that the village was wrong. At this time, it was called the brigade, and this village was called the Honghe brigade.

Tang Jianjun introduced Tang Chuxia to his comrades. The other party was very enthusiastic and asked the children in the village to call their wives who were still working in the fields, and then took them home.

On the way, Tang Chuxia was very touched. Riding in a donkey cart along the way, she understood what it felt like to have her butt split into eight pieces, and she also understood why the country vigorously developed infrastructure after the reform and opening up.

If anyone has experienced that kind of dirt road, especially the pits that pop up from time to time hidden under the dust, then the donkey cart will have an autonomous bounce function.

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

When getting off the bus, Tang Chuxia felt like her soul was flying for nine days, and she was in a trance.

After getting out of the car, the physical discomfort that shocked her had not completely disappeared. She saw many children in the village playing in tattered clothes. Some children even had their toes exposed and were frozen into purple eggplants, but they were lying on the snow.

Play inside.

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

Are there any crops left in the fields?

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

Every winter, when people stop farming, they start digging ditches. Because the ground is frozen solid in winter, it is quite difficult to dig ditches.

Why not dig in the summer?

Answer: Too busy!

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

The comrades welcomed them into the house.

Only then did Tang Chuxia realize that this was not the rural courtyard in his concept. She remembered that she had once seen a mud house in a certain tribe in South Africa, and the courtyard walls were made of branches stuck in the ground.

It may be that the owner of this house is a disabled person, the courtyard wall is very random, the snow on the adobe house has not been shoveled off, and there are still big cracks in some places.

The temperature inside the house is not as high as outside. How do you sleep at night?

Tang Chuxia was shocked by what she saw.

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

Tang Chuxia:......

The emotional second brother is here to work.

The comrade handed Tang Chuxia a bowl of hot water and said awkwardly: "Let me see the joke!"

Tang Chuxia took the tea and did not dislike the gap in the rough porcelain bowl. She smiled and said: "How could it be? We are late!"

The man became more embarrassed and even blushed.

"Actually, my family wasn't like this before!"

Tang Chuxia was curious, was there another story?

She was holding a coarse porcelain bowl, and the heat made her feel much better.

"The family was separated and no new house was built for a while!"

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

Based on what the second brother told her, he is the fifth eldest of eight brothers and sisters in his comrade's family. When he was a soldier, he could send money to his family, so he was treated very well. Now that he has retired, he has no money left.

He was kicked out!

I can't blame Tang Jianjun for choosing to come here first. He probably thought that this comrade was having a hard time and came here to give him something.

Her eyes fell on the rice, flour, grains and oils brought by her second brother, and she couldn't blame her when she reminded her to buy more canned goods and snacks. Tang Jianjun said that she didn't understand human relationships.

Now that I think about it, my second brother knows best.

She couldn't comment on this kind of thing, so she could only say: "It doesn't matter if the family is separated, it will be easier for you and your sister-in-law to live your own little life!"

The man smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

It is estimated that there are many unspeakable secrets that cannot be said out loud.

Tang Jianjun finished shoveling the snow and jumped off the roof. "I see that the roof tiles are broken a lot and need to be replaced. Do you have any ready-made ones at home? If not, I'll go find the brigade secretary!"

The man pulled Tang Jianjun and refused to let him go. He knew without looking that there was nothing ready-made at home.

Tang Chuxia looked at Tang Jianjun in confusion: "When I sent him back, I gave him a job, so he doesn't have to live in a house like this!"

He pointed at the man and shouted, "Where's your job?"

The man smiled bitterly: "I am such a disabled person, doesn't work bring trouble to others for me?"

Tang Jianjun shouted: "Stop farting, why are you causing trouble? That was arranged for you by the regiment leader. I will kill anyone who dislikes you!"

The man whispered: "He was replaced by my younger brother!"

Tang Jianjun was even more angry and wanted to beat up his honest comrade, but luckily Tang Chuxia stopped him in time.

Nothing will work for this kind of thing.

Tang Jianjun was afraid of seeing his comrades being angered to death, so he went out directly to find the brigade secretary to make tiles. He couldn't let his comrades freeze to death in the winter. He couldn't survive this year?

Seeing that the man was about to chase him out, Tang Chuxia hurriedly called out to him: "Second brother's temper is like this. It's useless for you to stop him!"

The man looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried.

"I know I have failed everyone's expectations!"

He was squatting on the ground, his legless trouser legs hanging down, stained with snow foam on the ground, and he was extremely embarrassed.

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

The man rubbed his face: "How can I deal with regrets? I am the elder brother, and he can only marry a wife if he has a job."

Early summer of Tang Dynasty...

She didn't quite understand this approach.

But every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and it’s hard for her to say anything.

She just felt that the future might be very troublesome. Just when she didn't know what to say, someone pushed open the door of the courtyard.

It was a woman wearing a patchwork cotton-padded jacket. She had short hair, but she was too thin.

The woman was stunned for a while when she saw Tang Chuxia. After the man introduced her, she realized she was Tang Jianjun's sister.

"Big sister, come in and warm yourself up!"

The woman went to carry a lot of firewood into the house. There was a pit dug in the middle of the house. She lit the firewood, and the orange fire illuminated the dilapidated house. Although the cold wind was still blowing into the house, it was still somewhat

There is some heat.

"Are you hungry, sister? I'll cook!"

After the woman finished speaking, she opened the noodle vat and Tang Chuxia took a look.

There was only a thin layer inside, and the woman carefully swept it for a long time but still couldn't find more than half a bowl of flour.

A sob slowly emerged, and then the woman broke down and cried: "I can't live this life anymore!"
