Chapter 231 Yao Ye's Family (Part [-])
"I said you were still sleeping..."
As soon as I woke up, I saw my grandma standing at the door with a bad expression.
"Uh, hahaha, accidentally overslept."
Even though he was not really sleeping, there was no way to explain this.
I can only bite the bullet and admit it.
"Come here and give me a hand."
After the grandma finished speaking, she turned around and left, more than a little confused, what was she doing?
He hurriedly followed and went all the way up the mountain.
"No, grandma, what are you doing in the mountains so late at night?"
"A few trees in the slope died, so your grandfather and I cut them down and brought them back to burn firewood."
More than just nodding, even if the home is connected to natural gas, it doesn't mean that it will be used for cooking at ordinary times.
The biggest use of natural gas at present is for bathing.
The big firewood stove at home is also the main force for cooking and cooking.
There is no way, I am used to eating food from wood-burning stoves, and I can't stop at all.
Moreover, without burning firewood, what to do with the dry firewood on the mountain?
Not only looked at the hillside, but shook his head with some sighs. When I was young, there was never a tree so tall.
Every year around December, every family will spend a long time cutting down most of the trees on their own hillsides one by one, leaving only the long, so-called mature trees, which are mainly reserved for house repairs. .
There is no need to repair the house now, and these trees are useless, but no one cut them down, mainly because there is not enough firewood to burn now.
The ground is full of fallen leaves of green gang trees, which would have been like this in the past, and all the families would take them back and use them as kindling materials.
The road up the mountain is much easier to walk because it has been cleared before. The leaves on the road should have been cleaned today, and the traces on the ground are very clear.
When we got to the middle of the hill, I saw my grandfather was splitting branches with an axe, he spat on the palm of his hand, wiped his hands, was sweating profusely, and took off his clothes and put them aside.
He Zhi hurried up to take the axe. Although grandpa's health improved a lot, he was no longer a child, so naturally he couldn't watch from the side like he did when he was a child.
More than just looking at the dead tree that fell on the ground, it will be dealt with after a few axes.
"Grandpa, how many will you cut this year?"
"We can't cut it down anymore, and your father hasn't come back, so we can't get it back after cutting it off."
Grandpa drank water beside him and said with a smile.
"Uh……"
"Grandpa, I'm actually not too young..."
When He Qiang heard his words, he suddenly remembered that his grandson will soon be 23, and he is no longer a child.
"Well, starting tomorrow, we will cut down trees, and you will be responsible for getting them all back?"
"it is good!"
……
He Zhi bowed left and right, and carried a tree trunk on each shoulder. Grandpa wanted to carry it too, but He Zhi refused, and asked the two of them to get some branches and go back.
"Leave these tree trunks to me, it's not enough to warm me up."
"Okay, our grandson is promising."
More than raising eyebrows, he is sure to be promising!
The three branches of the tree must have been dead for some time. They are not too heavy, and they are almost carried back by running.
Carry it back and throw it on the ground casually. During this period of time, there will be almost no rain, which is regarded as the dry season, and it will not have any impact on the firewood.
After several meetings like this, they all piled up there, and finally went to help grandpa and the others carry the branches back.
This was just the beginning. In the next few days, the family started to cut the trees on the mountain. However, they didn’t like the trees and they thought they were blocking the road, so they cut down all the trees.
Those that look pleasing to the eye and feel good will be cut off. Since they are so pleasing to the eye, it means they are destined.
About [-] to [-] trees were cut down, and a few piles were piled up in the open space. By the way, the road on the mountain was cleaned up, and a lot of branches and shrubs were piled up.
But this is just the beginning, and it needs to be split to cut it back.
The whole process lasted for about half a month, and it was not over until mid-January. The final harvest was that several woodsheds were packed to the brim.
"Comfortable!"
Looking at the boxy blocks of firewood, there is more than a sense of accomplishment.
As soon as He Yan came out, he saw his brother standing there with his hips up and smiling like a fool, so he couldn't help but rubbed his forehead.
"Brother, grandma is calling you."
"Oh well."
Not only did he come back to his senses, he straightened his expression, as if what happened just now hadn't happened at all.
Turning around and entering the house, I found that grandma was packing things.
"what?"
You send these things to Langzhou early tomorrow morning and give them to you, Lord Yao.
"what?"
"Huh, what, you haven't been to your Yaoye's house for so long since you came back. Tomorrow is your Yaoye's birthday, so I just happened to send something there."
After I came back, I really haven't been to Yao Ye's house, not because I don't have time, but because he doesn't want to go.
Mainly because of the situation at Yaoye's house, he didn't want to go.
Not only Yao Ye is a wonderful character, he used to be a staff member of the government of Guanyin Township, and he was also a man of great fame in all towns and villages.
In the 80s and [-]s, according to my grandmother, although they were a family, Yao Ye and my deceased grandfather separated early.
Because of Yaoye's work, Yaoye's family is full of fish and meat when everyone is hungry, and their mouths are full of oil.
And in my own home, the grandfather who passed away responded to the call to repair the tunnel, and finally because of the poor protection measures at that time, many people died, and those who came back were all sick, the best being tuberculosis.
The same is true of the grandfather, so he needs to take medicine all year round, and the grandfather who was separated from the family is also a serious patient, which makes the family's situation satisfactory.
Although it is a family, Yao Ye’s family did not extend a helping hand when the grandfather’s condition deteriorated to the worst. Finally, on the day when the grandfather passed away, it seemed to be a flashback, and he sat up and said to his grandmother: “Thank you for your hard work. Don’t bother me anymore, after I die, I’ll just use the wax gourd tree next to me to deal with it casually, anyway, I don’t know anything when I die, it’s just a piece of meat, don’t worry too much…”
When grandma said these things, she almost choked up, and it was more than uncomfortable.
Grandma also said that grandpa left that night because the family really had no money, so in the end they had to use the wax gourd tree to make a temporary coffin, and when it was buried, the coffin was still dripping water...
That year, my father was ten years old, and my youngest father was six years old...
Then, the same grief happened two years later, and that grandpa also passed away.
After that, my grandma actually said these words to her grandma: "All the men in the family are dead, so why keep them, but it's very difficult to see your two children, keep the older one, and the younger one Just take it away!"
Grandma said later that she really wanted to leave at that time, but thinking of the child, she stayed. If she leaves, the child will suffer.
Fortunately, later, my current grandfather appeared. His grandfather had a strong personality, and he never let grandma suffer again.
As for my Yao Ye's family, after a bright experience, because Yao Ye had a relationship with another colleague in the department, my Yao Ye grandma went to the government to make a fuss and was fired...
After that, the life of Yao Ye's family took a turn for the worse, because Yao Ye had an accident when he was young, and he could only work as a security guard in Langzhou until now...
……
"Can I not go?"
"cannot!"
