On the afternoon of the first day of moving, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were busy in and out, and finally prepared all the things that could be prepared, and recorded what was missing, so that they could buy things slowly when they had the opportunity in the future.
There was some dry firewood piled up in the kitchen. Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen went to collect it in the afternoon. They lived at the foot of the mountain. Among other things, collecting firewood was more convenient than others.
There was a wooden block in the main room, which Xiang Chen saw when he was collecting firewood, and Xu Hengzhou asked Xu Hengzhou to move it back. They have no table or chairs now, so moving a tree block back is quite suitable for storing things. Now there are two lunch boxes with lids and a kettle on the tree stump.
The windows were also glued up. The village chief mentioned this problem when he took Xu Hengzhou to see the house, and said that he had some newspapers that could be used at home, and he could bring them to him if he needed them. Xu Hengzhou refused, saying that he brought usable paper.
He used a kind of translucent oiled paper, which has good waterproof performance and is relatively tough. After pasting it, the cold wind in the room was reduced, and it was immediately warmer.
In the bedroom in the back room, there are their luggage bags, and there are still things that have not been opened. They can also use this as a cover when they take things out later.
This is all their family's current possessions. Xu Hengzhou walked around the house twice, and had a plan in mind. The countryside is huge, and he wanted to enclose the land in front of the house. Judging from the remaining traces on the ground, the original owner, Lao Lintou, also built a fence in front of the house, but this was not enough. Xu Hengzhou's plan was to build a fence. A layer of protection is always good.
However, there is no rush for this matter, at least he has to establish a foothold in the village and get acquainted with the villagers before he can speak about it.
In addition, when he entered the village, he saw that many people had a vegetable field behind their houses. It is said that the educated youths in the educated youth point also have a private plot, and they can grow some vegetables to supplement their daily needs.
Xu Hengzhou thought about it, his place is big, and the back of the house looks quite flat, so he wondered if he could ask the village chief to come and grow some small vegetables.
In the evening, Xu Hengzhou cooked a can of meat porridge in a cleaned earthen pot, added some refreshing side dishes, and served a plate of cut fruit after dinner. Xiang Chen couldn't help but eat.
Xu Hengzhou jokingly pulled him up and walked around twice, and told him his plan by the way. Xiang Chen's eyes lit up, as if the picture his brother had drawn appeared before his eyes.
"We can plant a tree in the yard!" Xiang Chen said, "Plant a fruit tree. In summer, we can enjoy the shade and eat the fruit."
"Okay." Xu Hengzhou generously agreed: "I'll see if I can grow grapes here, or build a grape trellis for you."
Xiang Chen nodded desperately, this is good, the grapes are sour and sweet, and the raisins can be dried if you can't finish eating, and a deck chair is placed under the grape trellis, so comfortable to sleep in summer.
"I want both grape trellises and fruit trees." Xiang Chen looked at Xu Hengzhou eagerly, "Brother, let's have both."
Xu Hengzhou looked at the land in front of the house, and silently moved the distance from the wall in his heart to the outside. All right, you want everything you want, children only make choices, adults can want everything!
Both of them had a good night's sleep that night, especially Xu Hengzhou, who almost slept lightly for the first two days and woke up at the slightest movement.
It was finally at ease tonight, there was no one snoring and grinding teeth, no unpleasant foot odor, only a child with the fragrance of milk in his arms, a soft hair rubbing against his neck, breathing steadily and falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xu Hengzhou went to work in the fields as usual. After getting along with each other these few days, the villagers had a good impression of him. Good-looking and polite, without the contemptuous spirit of city people, he is gentle and polite when talking to anyone, and he is not lazy in his work, serious and meticulous, and he can't find faults in anything.
So when Xu Hengzhou went to the field today, some villagers took the initiative to greet him and asked him why he didn't come yesterday afternoon.
Xu Hengzhou put on a smile and said kindly that he moved yesterday afternoon, and then put on a distressed look, saying that there were a lot of things missing at home, and he wanted to buy some, but he was new here and didn't know who to turn to. The village head is so busy, he can't bother him too much.
The aunt who claimed to be surnamed Yu immediately patted her chest and said, "Hey, it's just such a little thing, just ask me, I know."
So Xu Hengzhou learned from his aunt who can do carpentry in the village and which one is the best. Which one can burn earthen pots and large cylinders, and the things they make are strong and durable.
I also listened to a lot of other information, Xu Hengzhou kept his attitude low, Aunt Yu couldn't stop talking, Xu Hengzhou silently wrote down a lot of information.
Rural people are used to self-sufficiency, and there are many craftsmen in Dahe Village. At this time, although there is no business in private, the craftsmen do some work and exchange some food and daily necessities.p; Xiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I forgot."
Aunt Yu poured the remaining water into the cup, rinsed it back and forth twice, and asked them: "Drink?"
Both Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen waved their hands, and Aunt Yu poured the water into an empty bowl, and shared it with Hua Nier. After that, put half a bowl of sugar and water in two bowls, and let Hua Nier take it back.
After finishing work in the morning, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen went home together, and made an appointment with Aunt Yu to work together in the afternoon.
Back home, Xiang Chen washed the thermos again and placed it on the big tree stump where they put their things. This cup has already been taken out and seen by others, and it is not easy to put it away. Although he and his brother will not use it in the future, there will always be times when it is useful.
Xu Hengzhou fetched water to wash his face, and when he went out, he saw Xiang Chen was lighting a fire by the stove he built. He walked over and patted his head, and praised: "You performed well today."
Today's event was planned by him. There are too many chores, and he can't handle it alone. Moreover, as a foreigner, he really knows too little about the people in this village, so asking for help can save a lot of effort.
Of course, he can also go to the village head or Chen Fu. Both of them have a good impression of him, and they will definitely not hesitate to help.
However, Xu Hengzhou felt that as a foreigner, if he only dealt with the village cadres all the time, it would only further distance him from the villagers. It doesn't mean that he wants to get closer to the villagers, but at least he should have a few good friends, so that if something happens in the future, he won't be isolated and helpless.
Aunt Yu was one of the people he selected. When he was in the school of educated youths, he heard some information about the villagers from the educated youths. slow touch.
Although Aunt Yu's surname is not Chen, there are many uncles and brothers in her natal family, and the family is also a big family in Dahe Village. The man she married is surnamed Chen, and he is still in the same line as the village chief's family. Their grandfathers are brothers, and the relationship between the two families is still good. good.
Aunt Yu herself is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person. Although she is a bit gossip, Xu Hengzhou also takes a fancy to her for being well-informed. There are five brothers in her man's family, and his family can be talked about in Dahe Village.
I got online with Aunt Yu today, which solved many problems.
One is that the things that are missing at home have been found. Aunt Yu hired a craftsman, and he only needs to exchange things for the reward.
The second is to use Aunt Yu's mouth to spread the news that his family's supplies are still sufficient, and there will be a reason for him to buy anything in the future. His family has moved here, so what's the matter with buying some things?
As for publicizing Xiang Chen's achievements, it was a temporary idea. No matter where they are, children who study well always please adults.
Xu Hengzhou felt that doing farm work was indeed very hard. He was already tired after doing some simple tasks. He just did it, but what about Xiang Chen? When he grows up, he must go to the field, otherwise he will be raised by doing nothing, and the prejudice of the villagers will overwhelm him.
So what is easier to do in the village? to teach. Even the village chief has to go to the fields to work, but the teachers don¡¯t need it, and it¡¯s not that they don¡¯t. They still have to do it when the farming is busy, but it¡¯s easier than farming all year round.
? Although there is no primary school in the village now, it is not because the village head does not want to build it, but because the former old principal is gone, there are no teachers, and in addition to the famine in those years, there is no food to eat, so there is no need to study, the village primary school is so deserted.
Now there are children in the village who study, but it takes nearly an hour to go to the commune primary school. If there is a primary school in the village, I believe most parents are still willing to let their children go to the nearest school.
Xiang Chen is still young, and there are still a few years for him to plan slowly. He can always find a way to persuade the village head to rebuild the village school. At that time, he will be able to use today's foreshadowing, what's wrong with being young? Students taught by geniuses can be bad.
Xiang Chen couldn't guess what Xu Hengzhou was thinking, he just tried his best to cooperate with his brother, anyway his brother was always right.
"Look at me lighting up the fire." Xiang Chen proudly raised his head, and said coquettishly: "Brother, next time, you can't tell people that I don't know anything, how embarrassing!"
He counted slowly with his fingers: "I can wash clothes and cook, and I can also collect firewood in the future. When we have a vegetable field, I will also learn to grow vegetables. When I grow up, I will go to work in the field. From now on, brother, you don¡¯t have to work so hard.¡±
Xu Hengzhou was softened by what he said, his children would never let him down: "Okay, my Xing Xing is the most capable, I won't talk about you in the future."
"It's not impossible to say." Xiang Chen scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Let's whisper it, it doesn't matter if I do something wrong and punish me."
Xu Hengzhou patted his head, but did not speak, his child is so good, how could he do something wrong, even if he did something wrong, he would not punish him, how could he be willing.
