Chapter 14 The Great Famine of 1942
Until now, he doesn't want to think back to the tragic past of that year.
Li Sanhe never expected that the person he hated for all his life and had been thinking about for the rest of his life would be no longer alive. Li Sanhe suddenly smiled, and as he smiled, tears fell down quickly, splashing on the kang table, crackling sounds.
He was obviously hated and resentful, but when he really heard that they were gone, his heart was like a hole in his arms, and why did he feel so uncomfortable when he was so cold and painful?
"Grandpa doesn't cry, grandpa..."
Xiao Duoyu, who was taken to a strange place and careful care buried deep in his bones, even though the little guy was holding a bowl and eating deliciously, he secretly kept paying attention to her new grandfather.
Seeing that my grandfather was having a good meal, he suddenly cried. Duoyu was nervous and worried. He lifted the old lady beside the bowl and ran to the kang, raised her head, slapped Li Sanhe's thigh, and hurriedly coaxed people in her little mouth.
Li Tiezi, who didn't expect to make his old brother cry, felt deeply comforted by this small look, and the old lady who was crying in tears secretly wiped her tears.
After all, she had encountered the Japanese Qingxiang in person. To this day, she can still remember the thrilling and timid coldness at the beginning.
"Old brother, don't be sad. Look, the children are worried about you, don't cry, they are so old." Unexpectedly, the old brother is sad, Li Tiezi had to cheer up and deliberately joke with the old brother.
Li Sanhe was really uncomfortable. At this moment, he felt like a lonely star in Tiansha. No wonder he didn't sell his parents at the beginning, but insisted on selling him.
The successive blows made Li Sanhe lose the energy that he had finally started to stir up, and his body was full of decadence. Until the sound of Tiezi Ge joking came from his opposite side, until he felt the warm little hands on his thighs slapping him, and when he heard the little guy's comfort, Li Sanhe woke up.
Yes, he still has a little granddaughter and relatives to support him. He can't die without bones, and cry miserably to avoid the children's jokes.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed the excess hair. Li Sanhe said softly, "Be good, grandpa is fine, it's sand that makes the eyes blurred. Grandpa didn't cry. Be good, go and have a meal, grandpa is talking to grandpa."
"Grandpa?" Duoyu looked back and forth between grandpa and grandpa. Seeing that the two old men smiled and nodded at her, Xiao Duoyu was then suspicious and hesitant, and was taken back to dinner by the old lady.
The two old men at the dinner table resumed chatting and gave Li Sanhe a glass of wine again. They didn't want to talk about such heavy topics anymore, so as not to lose their composure if the old brother was sad and sad. Li Tiezi cleverly changed the topic.
"Sangou Danzi, I won't leave when I come back this time, right?"
Li San and He lit the table repeatedly, shouting that enough was enough to signal the old brother to stop pouring wine. When he heard the old brother ask about this, Li San He smiled bitterly.
"Ang, I won't leave anymore. Brother Tiezi, everyone says Ye Luo returns to his roots. After I come back this time, I will not leave after burying the old woman and the children. I will stay in the village to accompany Brother Tiezi but not? "
"It's too late! It's good if you don't leave! Ye Luo is good to return to his roots! Let's do the big things between brothers and sisters and children first. Let's go back to you to arrange some younger generations and work together to repair your dilapidated house, otherwise you two will not be able to live in."
This is a big deal. Li Sanhe did not resist the old brother's kindness, but thought in his heart that he could not let his brother suffer. Even if the other party was the patriarch, repairing the house was a big deal, and manual materials had to be sold, right?
Out of trust, without saying a word, Li Sanhe hurriedly took out the secret bag he had temporarily repaired on his chest, took out five oceans from it, and slapped it on the table.
"Thank you that Brother Tiezi doesn't dislike helping me. This is five yuan. Brother Tiezi, please take it first. Brother Tiezi, I will entrust you to help with the house. I know it may not be enough. Brother Tiezi, please take it first. If you look back, tell me how much you lack, I will make up for it."
"What do you mean? Don't treat me as a brother? Take it back, it's all the back of the family and repairing a house. How can I get this money?" Li Tiezi was angry when he saw that his old brother had a disagreement. He didn't treat himself as his own person. When he saw that he pushed the money forward.
Li Sanhe became more and more anxious and pushed it back hard.
"Brother Tiezi, I know you are kind to me and want to help me, but I can't let the young man in the clan work in vain. Even if you don't have to pay for the wages, you have to pay for the meal? Don't you have to bother me and my sister-in-law to help me? Another thing is that you have to do is to repair the house. You have to spend money to get the wood adobe. You can't take advantage of the tribe. Don't push it anymore, otherwise you will repair the house and I won't live there!"
"Oh, your boy's bad temper is the same as when he was a child. Forget it, my brother has convinced you. I will take the assembly of the money first. If you look back, I will pay you back the rest."
"It's definitely not left. Brother Tiezi, don't fool me. I have learned to settle accounts with my master. This amount of money is definitely not enough. You can tell me how much you spend at that time."
Then, with the excess of rice wrapped in his mouth, I saw two old men sitting opposite each other on the kang, pushing a few flat and round things back and forth on the kang table, which was very interesting.
Of course, the final result is that my new grandfather won, and the other party can't beat him.
After the old man took a few rounds and flattened them, the two old men finished drinking and eating, and the matter was decided.
Later, before this year's summer harvest, Li Tiezi, the old brother, helped to organize the work. In two days, Li Sanhe's dilapidated courtyard was rested and renovated. Although it was not as beautiful as the newly built house, it was not appropriate to live in it.
The front and back yards were flattened, and the roof was covered with new thatch, stove and kang were all newly made. Li Tiezi was also considerate in the walls of the house. He asked his third son, who was the shopkeeper in the city, to make some gray and apply it to the Lime family. It looked neat and bright.
When I moved into my new home and moved back to my home from Li Tiezi's house where I was staying, I was about to go out. Li Tiezi pulled his old brother and told me.
"Sangou Danzi, I am your closest brother. If you have any problems in the future, don't meet your elder brother. Just come to see me if you know?"
Li Sanhe responded, but he didn't think that he would disturb his old brother again. After all, he didn't want to cause trouble.
