NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 119
Chapter 119 Out Of The County
Chapter 119 Out of the County
Sending away the eldest sister, Li Xiaoyu and two older brothers cleaned up the small courtyard and put on a small backpack on their backs. Today, I’m going to a place farther from the county town to check the situation. I’m not going to come back tonight.
Walking along the main road towards the provincial capital, the situation is the same all the way. After walking down the dozens of miles, the three brothers and sisters were in a bad mood, and they lost the motivation to walk.
The three decided not to go to the front to see it. Most of the places were the same, and it was useless to see. It’s better to go back to Banzhulin as soon as possible to let the old people in the village know what’s going on outside.
Now even the bus is out of service, and the three brothers and sisters can only go home on their legs. This time, I didn’t take the big road, but chose the small road.
The three of them walked along the mountain road, asking the way all the way back to the Bamboo Forest, it was already the seventh night.
The image of the three brothers and sisters is no different now than when they met the eldest sister, they are all gray. When I got home, I was exhausted and went to tell Grandpa Li about the situation outside.
Grandpa Li and Father Li were silent after listening to the three people’s stories. Grandpa Li asked Father Li to call several senior people in the village to his house. He decided to tell them the truth and it was up to them to do what they wanted to do.
Tomorrow, someone will have to notify the two daughters and some close relatives in the family, so that they are all prepared, and don’t get caught by that time, because they don’t have the ability to save others.
Several old people in the village heard that Li Sanye was looking for them, and knew that there must be something important to say, otherwise, who would come to look for someone when it was dark.
A total of eight elderly people came, all of whom were the same generation as Grandpa Li. These eight elderly people represented several families in the village, the Li family, the Guo family, and the Chen family.
There are three surnames in the village, of which Li is the largest surname, and six of the eight elderly people are surnamed Li.
Grandpa Li was sitting in the main seat, smoking dry cigarettes in his mouth. The main room was filled with smoke. When several old people saw him smoking, they ignored him and did not speak.
Impatient Li Wuye (Grandpa Li’s younger brother, who once ran into the provincial capital together): “Third brother, if you have something to say! If you smoke without talking, how do we know what’s going on? If there is any difficulty, just say it. Come out, let’s figure out a way together.”
Grandpa Li put down the cigarette in his hand and coughed: “The situation outside is very serious. Let my grandson tell you how serious it is.”
Li Chengji carefully explained what the three of them had seen and heard along the way, without any loss.
“Is it really that serious?”
“It is indeed so serious, there is no lie.”
After Li Chengji finished speaking, he left the main room and let them and a bunch of old people discuss it.
They have done everything that should be done, and then it is up to the villagers themselves.
Several elderly people discussed that until midnight, the descendants of each family waited outside to pick up people, and they all fell asleep waiting.
At this time, the three Li Xiaoyu brothers and sisters were already sound asleep, and it was important to have nothing to sleep.
When Li Chengji and Li Chengyi left, they left with a message from Grandpa Li to their two daughters. The old man wanted Li Chengji to tell them about the situation outside.
Li Xiaoyu, who was still sleeping on the second day, didn’t know that the second brother sued her before returning to the town middle school, and told the old man not to allow her to go out alone, and to keep an eye on her wherever she went.
Since then, Li Xiaoyu has lived a life where he followed the old man every day and could not stay out of his sight. Every day, she followed Li’s father like a little tail, and Li Xiaoyu honestly spent a few days reading medical books and sticking silver needles.
“Old man, didn’t you promise to go on an adventure with me? When are you going?”
“I thought you forgot it, why did you remember it again?”
“You promised me that you can’t talk and it doesn’t count!”
“When did you not do what you promised, go the day after tomorrow.”
“Hey, the old man is the best!” When Li Xiaoyu heard that he had time the day after tomorrow, he immediately flattered the old man, pouring water and beating his shoulders.
“Okay, go play by yourself, pack your things, it’s time to go home later.”
As soon as he heard that he could go home, Li Xiaoyu stopped pounding the old man’s shoulder, packed two of his things, put on a small schoolbag and waited to go home.
It was just the right time to get home, and Li Ma just went out to the cafeteria with the family’s basin. Li Xiaoyu jumped off the bicycle and ran towards his mother: “Mom, I’m back!”
“Just come back when you come back, you thought I didn’t see it, you don’t know how to slow down!” Li Ma blamed her little daughter, who looked like a monkey, for jumping from the back seat of such a high bicycle, and she was not afraid of falling.
Father Li looked at his little daughter who didn’t want the old man when she had a mother. What happened?
The mother and daughter waited for Father Li to go back to put the bicycle. Father Li came out and took the pot from Mother Li’s hand, and the family went to the storage room.
There are two elderly people sitting at the entrance of the cafeteria to supervise the waste. If someone wasted, then his whole family would have to participate in one day’s labor, and there was not a single work point, so he was only given one meal, and he didn’t starve to death.
Waste people have to stand at the door to eat, until the next waste person is caught, and the punishment of standing at the door can not be exempted.
This method not only punished people physically, but also punished their family members, and stood at the door in disgrace, which quickly cured the phenomenon of people in the village who love to waste.
What do you say about waste? Because everyone knows that this is not their own food, and it doesn’t matter if it is wasted.
At the end of the year, the food in the cafeteria is getting thinner and thinner, and the meat has not seen a shadow for a long time. The villagers began to feel resentment. They paid so much food, how could they not eat?
When he was eating, he started throwing chopsticks and hitting bowls. Li Chengtian, who had not shown up for a long time, coaxed: “We want to eat meat, eat meat.”
There was one who took the lead, and there were those who followed suit. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the cafeteria, and everyone was clamoring for meat.
Accounting Li saw that things were getting worse and worse, and if he didn’t come out again, it was estimated that something would go wrong.
“Don’t make trouble, wait for the captain to come back and talk about it. It’s good to have something to eat now, and I still want to eat meat.”
When the villagers heard this, they became even more violent, and they all asked Accounting Li to give an explanation.
“You want an explanation, what explanation do you want, you forgot what you ate at the beginning, and you even threw it away. Why didn’t you pay attention at that time? Now I want an explanation, a fart explanation.” Accountant Li angrily scolded the villagers.
Li Xiaoyu’s family didn’t eat or make trouble along with them. They just watched the development of the situation silently. These villagers were a little hotheaded. They didn’t even think about what they had done?
The old people in the village see that the more trouble they make, the more outrageous they are, so let the old people of each family stop their own people, and whoever does not obey will be beaten and the problem will be solved.
The troublemaker succumbed to the obscenity of his own old man, and it turned out that the leader was Li Chengtian, the third son of the big house Li Guangzhuang.
This person is a bastard. He doesn’t work in the team all day long, wanders around, and stalks with a bunch of bastards. Why did you return to the Bamboo Forest at this time? Did you get into trouble outside?
