Chen Jianguo: "Mom, I'll take it over later."
Just in time, I went to see if anyone was bullying him."
People working in a quarry, just thinking about it, life is not easy.
Chen Kaifang said: "You'd better not go, let Liye go, otherwise Baoguo will feel sad when he sees you.
This time, the daughter of the Tian family has caused great harm to our Baoguo."
Chen Jianguo lost his appetite when he looked at the bowl of noodles and felt heavy in his heart.
"Why didn't you think of calling the police?"
Chen's father asked, "Can we call the police about this?"
Chen Jianguo was at a loss for words for a moment. To be honest, his family members’ awareness of self-protection was too weak.
On the importance of reading.
In fact, Xu Zhaodi could understand it. Nowadays, if the police came to someone's house, even if there was nothing serious, there would always be people pointing fingers behind the scenes.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became silent. Xu Zhaodi didn't say anything either. She just ate a bowl of noodles.
The noodles are delicious and have a homely taste, but you can't eat too much.
She will never be able to forget how she lost weight little by little during these seven or eight months.
Seeing that Xu Zhaodi had finished her meal and stopped eating, Zhang Cuihua said, "Zhaodi, one bowl is too little for you. I'll serve you another bowl."
"No, mom, I'll just have one bowl."
"This kid has an appetite like a cat, no wonder he's so thin.
When your parents and grandma see you later, they will definitely be heartbroken."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said: "I am thinner now, but I am healthy."
Zhang Cuihua muttered: "It's better to be a little fatter."
Xu Zhaodi didn't say anything else. Chen Jianguo ate a bowl of noodles. He wasn't full but couldn't eat any more.
I gave this noodle to my husband, and the hot noodles turned cold.
Chen Jianguo poured the boiling hot臊子汤 into the military kettle and put the noodles in a separate bowl.
He didn't listen to Chen Kaifang and strode to the quarry alone.
Chen Kaifang didn't know that Chen Jianguo had gone to the commune team to look for Xu Daqiang after he came back.
As soon as Chen Jianguo left the house, his father said, "Liye, go with your elder brother and tell him not to act impulsively.
It’s the end of the year now, and your brother won’t be able to stay in the quarry for many more days.”
Chen Liye said: "I know, Dad. I'll go right away."
After Chen Liye finished speaking, he ran out to catch up with Chen Jianguo, and the two brothers went to the quarry together.
During this period of time, Chen Baoguo has lost a lot of weight.
He was sent to a labor camp in a quarry. Whenever he went out, people pointed at him. He hadn't even shaved and looked sloppy.
When Chen Jianguo and Chen Liye appeared at the quarry, the stone in Chen Baoguo's hand almost hit his foot.
Chen Dazhuang sniffed and said, "Baoguo, what did you do?"
Chen Dazhuang saw him in a daze, and looked in the direction Chen Baoguo was looking, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"Yeah, it's Brother Jianguo.
Baoguo, your elder brother is back."
Chen Baoguo's eardrums were almost shattered.
"Why are you so excited? He's my brother, not yours."
Chen Dazhuang smiled foolishly: "Hey, you are my brother who has been through thick and thin with me. Your brother is my brother, so it's all the same!"
Chen Baoguo...
People from other villages were also arrested and sent to labor camps at the quarry.
It was freezing cold, we had to go out early and come back late, and we treated people like animals. There was endless work to do every day.
When Chen Jianguo approached, Chen Baoguo finally spoke.
"elder brother…"
Chen Jianguo was actually relieved to see that he was calm.
This brat is much calmer than before and can now support a family.
Looking at his condition, it's better than he imagined.
Chen Jianguo punched Chen Baoguo on the shoulder: "Look good, it's time to grow up."
When Chen Baoguo saw that his elder brother did not blame him, his eyes instantly became moist.
"Brother, don't you blame me for holding you back?"
Chen Jianguo and Chen Baoguo were punched on the shoulder again.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little bastard?
Can I blame you?
Mom told me, this is not your fault.
Good boy, you didn’t let me down, your brother. You have courage.
If you hold on for a few more days, I will clear your name."
Chen Baoguo's eyes were red.
"Brother, I don't want you to be embarrassed, and I don't want you to have to look at other people's faces.
I can just hold on for a few more days and it will be over.”
"What a bummer, you've done your job, but what about the infamy you carry?
Don't worry, I have a way."
When Chen Dazhuang heard this, he said anxiously: "Brother, there is also me. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Chen Jianguo's eyes fell on Chen Dazhuang. This silly boy was too impulsive.
"Don't be so impulsive next time, kid."
"Brother, you don't know how much that old man deserves a beating, I've wanted to beat him up for a long time.
Even if this happens again, I will still beat him up."
Chen Jianguo was helpless, this kid had an even worse temper than himself.
"Okay, hurry up and eat the noodles. Mom made you some sauerkraut noodles. The sauerkraut soup is in the kettle and it's still hot."
Chen Dazhuang: "Brother, is there a share for me?"
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Yes, eat quickly."
The two men took the food, squatted aside and began to wolf it down.
Chen Baoguo turned his back to Chen Jianguo and choked up while eating.
He felt sad.
He ran a long way to borrow money from his eldest brother, and used the money his sister-in-law paid for her life to marry a wife.
As a result, he not only failed to marry a daughter-in-law, but also his reputation was ruined and he became a despised bad guy by everyone.
It's not easy for big brother to be in the army, but this time because of him, his future promotion may be affected.
Now that he thought about it, he shouldn't have gone to find his eldest brother when the other party asked for three turns and one ring.
You should give up.
He regrets...
Damn it, I regret it so much.
Chen Jianguo saw Chen Baoguo squatting on the ground with his back to him, his shoulders shaking, and he wiped his tears with his sleeves from time to time.
Chen Jianguo took a deep breath.
"Okay, a good man doesn't cry easily, it's just a small matter.
No matter how hard and tiring your work is in the quarry, you must endure it and don't cry when you go home.
Digest the bad emotions outside by yourself and don’t bring them home.
This is a lesson for you, so you can be more careful in the future."
Chen Baoguo was still choking with sobs, and he nodded.
The noodles in the bowl are delicious and are a fine grain that can only be eaten during festivals. He can eat three bowls in one go.
But today, in front of Big Brother, this side felt bland.
Chen Jianguo was afraid that if he stayed any longer, it would only affect his mood.
After the two men finished eating, Chen Jianguo and Chen Liye went back first.
Chen Jianguo said: "Liye, take your bowl and chopsticks and go home first. I'm going to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy paper and paper."
"Brother, I have some writing paper. Use mine when you go back."
"Okay, use yours then."
When the brothers came back, Chen Kaifang was squatting under the eaves, leaning against a pillar and smoking a pipe.
There was no one in the kitchen.
Zhang Cuihua was sitting on the kang in her room making cotton shoes. When she saw the eldest and fourth children coming back, she said, "Fourth child, put the dishes in the kitchen. Mom will clean them up this afternoon."
It’s too cold. You and your husband shouldn’t go up the mountain this afternoon. Just stay at home and do your homework.
When you go in and out, please walk lightly so that your elder brother and elder sister-in-law can have a good rest."
The fourth child, Chen Liye, whispered: "Mom, I know."
The fourth child agreed, went into the kitchen, poured hot water into the bowl, washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard, then went to his room to do his homework.
The Chen family's house is a circle, with three rooms on the east side, two rooms on the north side, and two rooms on the west side. There is no house on the south side, but there is a peach tree planted there.
Under the peach tree, there was a pile of snow swept from the yard.
Chen Kaifang and Zhang Cuihua lived in the middle house on the east side.
The room they lived in was actually two rooms, just connected together.
One room has a kang and a wardrobe, and the other is a guest reception room, which is just like the current living room, with a square table and two old armchairs next to it.
Next to the armchair is a bamboo sofa that can seat two people, and opposite the sofa is a cabinet where grain and corn are stored.
There is a brazier on Zhang Cuihua's kang for heating.
But at this moment, the brazier had been placed in Xu Zhaodi and Chen Jianguo's room.
The remaining house on the east side is occupied by Chen Baoguo and Chen Liye.
Before Chen Xiaohong got married, she and Chen Xiaolan lived in the two rooms on the north side.
Later, Chen Xiaohong got married and Chen Xiaolan lived alone.
Later, when Chen Jianguo got married, the two rooms on the north side were used as their wedding room, and Chen Xiaolan moved to the two rooms on the west side.
Chen Jianguo walked to the door of the room, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and then went into the room.
Xu Zhaodi was a little uncomfortable after coming back, so she sat in the corner of the kang, wrapping herself in a quilt to warm her feet.
It was so cold when she came back that she stood in the kitchen for a while until her feet were numb from the cold.
It is really hard to imagine how Chen Baoguo’s quarry managed to last so long.
