Chapter 8 Toshihiko Long Zhaotian in the village (2)
When Long Zhaotian returned to Fengshan Village after hiking for three days and three nights on a rugged mountain road, the golden crow was already falling in the west, and the setting sun was dim at the end of the west.
Long Zhaotian walked into the village under the afterglow of the setting sun.
As soon as he entered the village hall, the sixth aunt next door came over and said to him urgently: "Oh my god, why did you come back..."
"When Long Zhaotian heard what Aunt Six said, he couldn't help but feel his heart trembled and felt ominous.
Long Zhaotian couldn't wait: "Sixth Aunt, what's wrong with you? Will my mother be okay?" "Oh... your mother went up the mountain to cut grass and was bitten by a poisonous snake that day. When Shi Ergou went up the mountain to hunt and found her, your mother
He has expired." Aunt Six said sadly to Long Zhaotian.
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Long Zhaotian was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. He hoped so much that what Aunt Six said was not true.
However, the facts are the facts! They cannot be changed or reversed.
"Oh my God, it's your mother's first time in the cloudy day. Go back and prepare sacrifices for your mother." Aunt Six sighed, "Oh my god, Aunt Six still has to go to the fields to pick some vegetables. Please express your condolences.
Just change."
Long Zhaotian looked at Aunt Six's leaving figure and rushed home.
The sunset in the Western Mountains was reluctant to put away the last ray of light, for fear that it would get dark and Long Zhaotian would not be able to see the way home.
Under the setting sun, Long Zhaotian saw his house looking very deserted in the cold wind.
The scene when he left home appeared in front of him again. This is the home where he was born and grew up. Everything here is so familiar.
"Mom, Tian'er is back." At this moment, he hoped that his mother would hear his voice at home and open the door to greet her long-lost son.
However, no matter how loud he shouted, all he heard in response was the whistling north wind, the door was closed, the scenery remained the same, but not the personnel.
Long Zhaotian stood at the door of his home, looking at the two closed doors, missing his loved ones after seeing things, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Long Zhaotian's cry alarmed his grandfather Long Henian, his second uncle Long Zhaofu and other relatives who came to comfort him.
…
The next day, under the guidance of his grandfather, grandmother, second brother and second sister-in-law, Long Zhaotian finished the "first seven" for his mother.
After losing his mother, Long Zhaotian felt empty and in a daze, he came to his mother's new grave.
As the sun set, Long Henian didn't see his grandson at home. He was expected to find him at his mother's grave, leaning on the ancestral dragon-headed cane.
"Tianwazi, let's go home and eat." The voice of Long Henian, like a bell, echoed in the mountains and valleys.
"Grandpa, please let me stay here with my mother for more time." Long Zhaotian looked at his grandfather and said with sobs.
"It's almost getting dark. My family is worried about you being here alone. Let's go back to eat first." Long Henian said with concern.
"Grandpa, I don't want to eat. Why did my mother leave me without letting me see her for the last time..." Long Zhaotian said, tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"A man is a man who bleeds but does not shed tears! Your mother passed away suddenly like this. We are all very sad and sad." Although Long Henian lost his granddaughter-in-law and was grieving in his heart, he knew well that "there is no resurrection after death" and faced it calmly.
Look down on life and death.
"Grandpa, what should I do without my mother? Grandma, Fei'er has never been filial to you. To repay your kindness in raising me, you just..." The tears that had just been stopped flowed out again.
"My dear grandson, you have to learn to face it with strength. If you are overly sad like this, you will break down your body. Your mother will definitely be uneasy if she sees you like this. You have a long road ahead of you." Long Henian is, after all, a
People who have been there know very well that the future of young people is the most important thing.
Don't tell me. As soon as Long Zhaotian heard his grandfather say that there was still a long way to go, he immediately woke up from his sadness and followed Long Henian down the mountain.
"Tian Wazi, your grandma has packed up the western room for you. You can stay at my grandpa's house until the family leave is over before returning to school." After dinner, Long Henian was afraid that Long Zhaotian would be alone at home, so he was inevitably afraid. Hu
Confused thoughts.
"Grandpa, I've gone through the formalities of being suspended without pay, and I won't leave when I get back." After hearing what his grandfather said, Long Zhaotian remembered that he hadn't told his grandfather about his return yet.
"Oh, good! There have always been talented people among the people! Grandpa thought you rushed back after receiving the telegram."
It turned out that after Long Zhaotian's mother had an accident that day, Long Henian hurriedly asked his eldest grandson Long Zhaofu to go to the town post office and send a telegram to Long Zhaotian. By the time the postman delivered the telegram to the school, he had already left.
"Grandpa, I came back a few times and took a fancy to the pond near the mountain near the village. I wanted to build a chicken farm there so that the villagers could raise chickens at their doorstep and earn more money." Long Zhaotian told him.
He expressed his plan to come back.
"Okay, okay! That's a great place to show off your talents." Long Zhaotian's idea was appreciated and affirmed by his grandfather.
In the Year of the Dragon and Crane, when he saw the dragon sign in the sky and talked about building a chicken farm, he felt much better. He took advantage of the situation and said, "Go and inform the village chief Shi on a cloudy day."
Long Zhaotian's mother-in-law interjected: "Son, you have a filial piety, wait until you make Sanqi for your mother."
"Grandma, why did you wait so long? There are still 49 days until March 7th."
Long Henian stroked his beard, counted on his fingers, and said: "The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, so it is a good time to discuss matters."
General Long Zhaotian said: "Then it will be the day after tomorrow."
Long Zhaotian observed his filial piety at home and spent the whole day with great difficulty.
The next morning, Long Zhaotian had breakfast at his grandfather's house and was about to leave for the village chief Shi's house, but Shi Jinchang came uninvited.
As soon as Long Henian saw Shi Jinchang, he said: "Changwazi, you came just in time. My grandson is just going to your house to find you."
"Really? Second Grand Duke, has something happened to A Tian?" Shi Jinchang looked at Long Henian respectfully. He had become the village chief and would always go to Long Henian's house every now and then when something happened.
It has become the norm to come here to ask for opinions and suggestions, to say hello if you have nothing to do, to drink tea and chat.
Long Zhaotian got straight to the point and told Shi Jinchang in detail about his plan to return from this trip.
After listening to this, Shi Jinchang clasped his hands together and said happily: "Okay! Ah Tian, it's rare that you can think of the folks in the village and revitalize the village's economy. As the village chief, Uncle Chang will definitely support you with all his strength!"
Shi Jinchang held a meeting with several village cadres, and they all raised their hands to pass. The matter was settled in this way.
When the villagers saw that Long Zhaotian took Xiao to run a chicken farm to help them raise chickens to make money, they came to volunteer to work one after another.
Long Zhaotian was greatly moved and secretly promised: We must run the chicken farm well and not let down the expectations of the folks.
According to the pre-planned plan, he built a chicken coop on the water surface of the mountain pond, used chicken manure to raise fish, and planted fruit trees beside the pond, forming a three-dimensional breeding system of chickens, fish, and fruits.
According to this plan, Long Zhaotian calculated carefully and found that it would cost more than 20,000 yuan at least. He happened to have more than 30,000 yuan in savings, so he didn't have to worry about funds.
Seeing that Long Zhaotian needed money to build a chicken farm, the villagers generously helped him.
Long Zhaotian said movedly: "Thank you folks, the funds I brought back are enough. When the chicken farm becomes profitable, develops and expands, and needs money, then invest in shares."
