happy apocalypse

Chapter 120

Today's lunch should be regarded as the first fire at home after we came back. The three old ladies in the family were very satisfied with the conversation just now, so the lunch at noon was very rich.

Jiang Zhi provided them with a large piece of pork, and then moved all the frozen meat out of the cellar. My uncle said that he would teach them how to freeze meat outdoors in winter in Northeast China, so that the space in the ice cellar can be saved for ice block.The method taught by my uncle is very simple, that is, pour some water on the meat, and the meat that has been poured with water will be covered with a layer of ice in a short time. My uncle checked it and said that the ice layer is too thin, so I need to pour some more water , let the meat be covered with a thick layer of ice, and then let Li Cheng (Li Cheng is the youngest here except Chenchen, so everyone likes to order him to do any work) to go outside to shovel the snow that was just cleared in the morning, Shipped back again.

Li Cheng muttered, and said, "This is a tired idiot, I just spent a long time shoveling it away, and now I'm pulling it back."

After I heard it, I said, "Chengzi, come and rest quickly. We've had enough of this meat, so don't bother saving it. If it breaks, we can feed it to the dogs."

"Miss Yi, you did it on purpose. You know that I like meat the most, but you still say you want to feed the dogs. I haven't eaten enough yet." Li Cheng didn't stop after hearing what I said, but quickened his pace.

When I heard him say this, I immediately changed my face, like a rich landlord, pinched my waist and pointed at him and said, "Hmph, if you don't want to feed meat to dogs, then stop mumbling and work quickly, you can't finish the work You are not allowed to eat."

The people next to us were all amused by the two of us, and we put the meat in a corner with a pile of snow on it.

The little uncle looked at our big snowdrift and was a little worried. He was afraid that someone would find out that the meat was buried inside and steal it.

Jiang Zhi comforted the little uncle and said: "Little uncle, don't worry, it's safe to put it here. Look at the height of our fence, it's not easy to climb, and only a few people know that the meat is put here, and no one else can think of it. So we must No one has bothered to climb the fence of our house, just because of this snowdrift.” Jiang Zhi has not yet said that our house still has a secret weapon, the warning charm.

The little uncle was still very worried, and was dragged into the house by Jiang Zhi for lunch.

There are still two tables, the old man and the man sit at one table, and the rest sit at one table.

Father Jiang was still the head of the family, and started to speak first, "We are now officially settling down in Tashan Village. Everything has to start from scratch here, and I hope we can always be like this, a big family, loving each other. We must know that as long as our hearts are united, there will be no difficulties that can stump us. If we are all twisted together, no one will dare to bully us here. We have supported us all the way from D City, and we have shared weal and woe Now, I believe we will enjoy the same happiness.”

Everyone in the family raised their glasses, hoping that our lives will get better and better.

After eating at noon, the few of us put down our chopsticks and got ready to work.

Lu Fang and her little uncle went to the shed at the back to repair the roof.

The men are going to go out with small carts to pull some clean snow and come back to make ice bricks.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of our house, and I guessed in my heart that it was either the village head or Li Feng who knocked on the door, and it was about the house.

Li Cheng was instigated by everyone to open the door again.

In the end, I guessed wrong. It was an old man who came in. He wore a gray dog ​​fur hat with some fluff on his head, and a big black cotton-padded jacket and big cotton trousers. Basically, he was not fat or thin.The shoes on his feet are handmade cotton shoes made of black velvet. It seems that he often stepped on the snow.Both hands crossed into the sleeves.She didn't wear a scarf on her face, and her cheeks were flushed from the cold.The beard around the mouth is covered with a layer of frost, and it looks like an old man with a white beard.I commented, it is really a classic image of a rural man.

I was looking down at my own clothes and the clothes of my family. They were all dressed in slim down jackets, and the colors were also bright colors. Even a few men were also dark blue and sapphire blue.When we looked at it ourselves, we didn’t feel anything. We looked at the clothes of the three people in front of us. We were thinking about what the village head and uncle and his family were wearing. Our clothes were a bit out of place, but I was very puzzled. Last year, people in the village Most people also wear down jackets, why don't they wear them now.

As soon as the old man came in, he knelt down to Li Cheng, and then started crying, which completely fooled us.

Whose old man is this? Is there a problem with his nerves? Why does he kneel down without saying anything when he comes in?

"Master, who are you and where is your home? I'll take you home." Seeing that the old man knelt down when he saw him, Li Cheng also thought that he had a mental problem, so he wanted to see him off very lovingly. go home.

Father Jiang asked Jiang Zhi to help the old man up. It would be too embarrassing for others to see it. They thought they had done something to him, and the impact would be very bad.

Father Jiang continued to say: "Brother, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it, don't make such a mess, we can't stand it."

Jiang Zhi stepped forward to help Li Cheng together, but the old man couldn't get up, and insisted on kneeling for us, pulling and pulling. The old man couldn't kneel anymore, so he sat on the ground. Not insisting on pulling the old man up.

"Big brother, I'm here to beg you." The old man saw that Jiang Zhi was no longer here, so he kept his seated posture and said the first sentence after entering the door to Father Jiang.

"Brother, who are you? I don't know you. What can you ask me for?" In fact, we all vaguely guessed who this person is.

"Big brother, my surname is Li. Do you know who I am this time? My son borrowed your house to live." As soon as Old Li finished speaking, he began to wipe his tears again.

"Oh, then you are here today..." We all looked at the old man who was sitting on the ground wiping his tears speechlessly.

"I'm begging you, show mercy, don't throw my son out, it's so cold, his family will die if he throws him out. His wife still has a baby in her womb, my poor grandson. "After speaking, he began to cry louder, as if he had foreseen the tragic end of his son.

Father Jiang pondered for a while and said, "Old brother, it's not that we forced your son to move out. You should also know that we come back this time with nearly twenty people. Look at my house, there are only seven rooms in total. , I really can’t live anymore.”

Old Li was crying, and when I thought he couldn't speak, he said: "Don't you still have a house in your family, can't you share it? The house Li Feng lives in now should be expensive, or else Can we give you the money your family bought the house?"

This old man is not stupid at all. He knows that we need to spend money to buy our house, but money is worthless now.This is to exchange some waste paper for our house.

When Old Li didn't say this, we still had some compassion for this old man who knelt down to us as soon as he came in. Seeing such an old man crying in front of him, we really couldn't bear it.But as soon as he spoke, the trace of unbearableness in our hearts disappeared.

Father Jiang's eyes hardened, and he said, "We can't sell the house. If you really like our house, we won't make it difficult for you. We will suffer as we please. Your family will exchange the house Li Feng bought when he got married. Just give it to us. Let’s change one place to another, and let the villagers and the village chief testify to us that we live in that unstable house. Old brother, how can we do this.”

Old man Li was stiff for a moment, and then he stopped saying a word and just cried.

Father Jiang patiently said to him: "Brother, I said something unpleasant, so don't take it to heart. As far as I know, your house is similar to the one we live in now. You You are now living with the eldest son’s family, right? If you add up the old and the young in your family, and each person lives in one room, then you can still have two or three rooms vacant. You said that there are so many vacant rooms in your house, why do you say that? I have the heart to let my son borrow someone else's house, why can't I take my own son to live in the house, as old people, we have to have a bowl of water, otherwise we will end up being betrayed when we get old, old brother Tell me, is that the truth?"

Old Li couldn't cry anymore because of Dad Jiang's words, but just sat on the ground stiffly and couldn't get up.

At this time, the courtyard door, which was not closed just now, was pushed open from the outside, and two men came in, one of whom I knew was Li Feng.

What impresses me the most about him is that his appearance and his eyes are extremely inconsistent. He has an ordinary and honest face, but his eyes are full of viciousness.
They were dressed much more normally, they were all down jackets, and they carried shovels in their hands. When they came in to look at Old Li on the ground, they came towards us.

He rushed forward and said: "You people in the city are amazing. You dare to bully my father and let the old man kneel down to you. You are too arrogant. Today, I will clean up you on behalf of the entire Tashan Village."

As he said that, the shovel in his hand smashed towards Father Jiang's head.

Things developed too fast, we saw Li Feng rushing over, and before he could react, he fell to the ground and screamed.Jiang Zhi stepped on his deceptive face with one foot, his eyes were extremely fierce, and his aura was extremely fierce.

The one who followed Li Feng in was probably his elder brother Li Peng. He was overwhelmed by Jiang Zhi's aura and stopped moving forward.

Being trampled under Jiang Zhi's feet, Li Feng didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at Jiang Zhi viciously.

Old man Li realized it at this time, got up and spread the bed on Jiang Zhi, and shouted: "Oh, I killed someone, I killed someone." He hugged Jiang Zhi's thigh and began to play tricks. I really cried back, tears and snot, for my son and the house, this is really willing to sacrifice.

The more he screamed, the stronger Jiang Zhi put on his feet, and the harder he stomped on his son.The snow in our yard was just cleaned this morning, and now the ground is full of frozen hard soil.Li Feng's face was broken by Jiang Zhi's step, and he yelled softly.

The neighbors on the left and right were attracted by Li Feng's screams and old Li's cries, and gathered in front of the open courtyard gate of our house.

Before everyone understood what was going on, someone shouted from behind, "Give way, the village chief is here."

I thought to myself, this is really the time.
