Chapter 48: Cloud Shadow in December 1995
Cloud Shadow in December 1995
The high wall of the compound is still standing on the hillside. My gate will automatically peel off the stone covering the door when I approach it. I take out the key to unlock it, and push the door open to see the long-lost courtyard.
My son was also very excited, babbled and waved his little hand constantly to ask me to let him down. I raised my hand to clean up the small amount of dust in the whole yard and put him down on the ground. He laughed and crawled very fast.
The clean and smooth stone slabs in the yard do not have any sharp edges and corners, and there are still sporadic flowers in the flower beds that have not yet withered in winter, but most of them have withered yellow leaves and look a bit desolate.
The berries from the branches of the bushes are very lovely among the yellow leaves, like little gems.
Business as usual.
It seems that no one has climbed over the wall to come in "treasure hunting" during my absence, and there is no sign that my sealed door has been moved.
When I opened the door, the room without a fire was illuminated by the sunlight coming in from the door. I stretched out, unloaded the leather backpack on my back, and tidied up a little at home.
Just opening the door to let in light isn't enough, it looks like I'll have to get glass windows in the house as soon as possible, and it's easy for me to make large pieces of glass these days.
As soon as Ah Fu came back, he happily ran to the house, threw himself on the kang and rolled around. Ah Fu's sister was also in a good mood. She smelled it in the yard and looked up to see our movements from time to time.
"Wang Jierui! I told you not to pull that flower, it has thorns and pricks your hand!" I opened the wooden window and saw Wang Jierui stretch out his hand to grab the flowers in the flower bed, and hurriedly called at him.
"Giggle!" Wang Jerry laughed happily, and while laughing, he reached out and grabbed the flower pole, then changed his face and cried.
"Baby, what are you trying to do!" I hurriedly ran out, and Ah Fu also ran out, faster than me, and almost knocked me over.
The naughty man took off the small thorn on his hand, and he leaned against Ah Fu with tears in his eyes and whimpered, his eyes still fixed on the flower.
"You can't hold a flower with thorns with your hands, it will prick your hands, and it will hurt, you know?" I stretched out my hand and broke off a small branch of the flower to show him the tiny thorns on it. .
"You can only touch it with your hands after the thorns are removed." I gathered a pair of stone finger cots on my hand, wiped off all the thorns on the flower branch, and then handed the flower to him. .
When I accompany him to bask in the sun in the garden in summer, I often let him smell the fragrance of some flowers. Some of the wild flowers we have here are very fragrant, very sweet and elegant, and it smells better than any perfume I have ever smelled.
"Dad, Fanfan!" Wang Jerry waved a flower branch in my arms in a milky voice, well, I'm hungry.
"Okay, baby, let's eat now!" I walked into the house with my son's shoulders moving, and made a fire and cooked in one go.
After eating and drinking, I hugged my son on the stone reclining chair in the yard and basked in the sun. I brought a few new storybooks this time, and there must be new stories he likes.
"Wang Jerry, Dad brought you a new storybook, can I tell you a story?" I scratched his nose.
"Okay! Listen to 'Little Rabbit'!"
"Aiya, why don't you just listen to this one, this time I'll talk about something else, I'll tell you about 'Eagle's Heart', Dad hopes you can grow up to be A man like an eagle." I coaxed my son.
"No!" He shook his head straightly: "Listen to 'Little Rabbit Obediently!'."
"Okay, I will tell you something else after listening to Little Rabbit Obediently." I resignedly closed the new storybook: "Once upon a time there was a Mother Rabbit, she..." I have told Wang Jerry so many times that I can recite this story by heart.
I listened to three stories in a row. When the sun sets, the birds in the reeds are very sweet. In the sunset, Wang Jerry's light brown hair has turned blond. He is holding the doll like a little angel. Zhang also called A Fu and his sister to take a few "family portraits" for us using the camera's time-lapse function.
Ah Fu's sister now also has a name, "Ana". This name is pleasant and easy to pronounce, and the villagers can also call it.
The problem of parasites on Sister Ah Fu was easily dealt with by bathing and pesticides, but in recent days she has not been able to sleep on the kang with us. She will first rest on the leather cushion by the fireplace. warm.
Ana's appetite is very good, and she doesn't choose anything at all, unlike A Fu's gluttonous guy, who always chooses delicious meat and sausages first, and leaves steamed buns and rice until the end, and is forced to be ruthless reluctant to eat.
Ana is used to walking around the village every day. She does a lot of exercise. After dinner, she can't be free and wants to go out for a walk. I greeted Ah Fu to come with us. Lying there, I couldn't get up, I couldn't even hold the rascal dog, and in the end I could only laugh and cry and take Ana out for a walk.
Luhe Village is more spacious than Shanghe Village, but it still stinks. I can’t bear to see people in the village dumping garbage and excrement for a long time. Even if I’m used to the smell, it is still my goal to get rid of this bad habit in my heart.
Ana Patrol is different from Lazy Ah Fu. She is thin, but very light, and Ah Fu is also tall and thin, but compared to my sister, I always think he is a lazy fat dog for no reason. I'm afraid to compare goods, compared to Ana, her younger brother, who has been trained by a year of patrol work, is simply a waste.
"If I hadn't given birth to the two of you, I really wouldn't want to admit that the idiot was your brother." I was walking and chatting with Ana, she couldn't understand, but I still didn't vomit, a mother-in-law, The difference is too big.
Wang Jierui giggled straight after hearing my words, and I touched his face: "Why, do you know what Dad is talking about?"
He smiled and shook his head.
"I don't understand you and still smirk."
Wang Jierui laughed even more happily.
After I got home at night, I turned on the Walkman and played music. The Walkman was there last month, but I didn't think of using it at all. Now that I let it go, the room was filled with music, and the light from the fire was very impressive.
Ah Fu moved his ears and there was no response. He was not interested in strange sounds, he just wanted to sleep on his stomach. Wang Jerry and Ah Fu's sister Ana were very interested in the small box that Fang Zhengzheng could make sound in. Wang Jerry always wanted to break it. Open the box to see what's inside, and Ana is eager to bite my baby Walkman.
"I told you that this Walkman is very precious. It's my treasure. Whoever breaks it will be out of luck." I solemnly warned Wang Jerry, the saboteur, and did not forget to tell Ana to stop biting me. Walkman.
The warning is on the one hand, when I don't need the Walkman, I will definitely put it in a plastic bag and keep it in the cabinet in the cellar. This thing is very precious. If it is damaged, there is nowhere to repair it and can't buy a new one. Liang Jiangbo must be sad.
Wang Jierui likes listening to music very much. Some of the music has a strong sense of rhythm. He also twists and turns with the music, like a natural dancer, which surprises me. I think I should get some nursery rhymes tapes for him next time. Maybe even help him learn Chinese.
I taught Wang Jierui's Chinese, but I don't know if it was my delusion or if he was too young to speak inarticulately. I always felt that his Chinese was not standard and authentic.
My son can not only speak Chinese, but also the local dialect of Luhe Village and the dialect of Shanghe Village. In addition, some simple English is not difficult for him. Many of them were learned by imitation while I was reciting the text. of.
My home is already very comfortable, but it does not prevent me from continuing to transform it. The flat walls and floors of my home were processed again before I went to bed. This time, a layer of transparent and smooth enamel was made with pure sand extracted from the soil. When plated, it looks shiny, with a porcelain or jade-like luster.
Stepping on the smooth ground with bare feet is like a glass plate. When I look down, I can see my own shadow in the blue-gray stone. I can't stop playing, and I even want to completely remodel the whole house with transparent crystal and glass. .
Really build a "Crystal Palace"? Maybe a bit exaggerated, but there's nothing to do anyway, even if you don't revamp the shape, the internal processing is great.
And now that I can successfully make crystals, I want to take the time to see if I can make crystal spikes and arm the outer walls.
Now a circle of walls can stop a lot of trouble, and if spikes can grow on the wall, it will undoubtedly deter the little ones even more.
Just think about the crystal spikes. If you really stick to the wall, you will probably be knocked down and stolen the next day. Compared with the stone spikes, maybe the stone spikes are more reliable, at least you don’t have to worry too much about someone stealing.
I quit my job in the patrol team, but Ah Fu is still a member of the patrol team. Not only that, but his sister Ana also joined the patrol team. The strength of the patrol team has not decreased but increased, and the villagers are more concerned about the safety of the village. In the past, I was more confident. Two forest wolves patrolled, even in the town.
The biggest advantage of my resignation is that I don't have to get up early to go to work. I have enough time to take care of my son's daily life and review his homework.
When I encounter difficulties in doing exercises, I always want to ask Liang Jiangbo. I have more than once imagined how great it would be if Liang Jiangbo could come to this world with me. He would definitely like my home and this small village.
In addition to staying at home and doing my homework, I haven’t gone to the village chief’s longhouse. Now I’m one of the villagers in every way. They can’t avoid me when they make decisions, and they also need my help. strength.
I made a lot of stone tools for the village with stones, but I also said that these are only temporary supplies. After a period of time, I will take out a lot of high-quality metal tools, and the people in the village should prepare things to exchange with me.
The village chief knows that the threaded steel bars and steel pipes in the hands of the Shanghe villagers are the magic weapon they are very fond of. He said that if I can bring the same thing to Luhe Village, every household can use what the people of Shanghe Village said. Magical tool, he was willing to retire from the position of the village chief, and since then the whole Luhe Village will only listen to my voice.
I shook my head again and again, and told him that I had no interest in being the village chief. Luhe Village was my home. Only when Luhe Village was completed would I have a better life. These are what I am willing to do.
The village chief is very satisfied with my answer, but it can be seen that he is quite uneasy. At this time, my prestige in the village is no less than theirs, and they have no power to bring me down. If I really try to usurp the throne, they will Not even the ability to rule.
The clerk came to me, and he expressed implicitly that he supported me to become the leader of the village. I just declined his offer and told him that I really had no interest in being the village chief, so they didn’t have to worry.
In order to reassure them, I bought the logging farm in the village from the clerk. I promised to provide high-quality axes soon, and the workers working in my logging farm would have a stable salary. Preferential prices are provided to the village to assist in the construction of village facilities.
70 gold coins to buy the dilapidated logging farm in the village may seem uneconomical, but I did not buy the logging farm for the dilapidated log house and the woodland outside the village, but for the title of the "only" logging farm in the village, except for me. The wood around the village cannot be harvested on a large scale. In principle, all the woodlands around the village are considered my land.
The quarry in the village was originally operated by no one, and was used by everyone. Now I have paid for it. I promise to give each household a metal shovel in exchange for my contribution to the quarry. Ownership of the quarry.
There are several places where stones can be picked in the village, but I only took up the largest one.
Before I recruited workers, the villagers knew that I was someone who could provide everyone with a job, so I became the "master" in people's mouths.
