Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 7

Due to the opposition of his family, Yang Tianlin didn't dare to talk about the miracle doctor of Quan County with Grandpa. Watching the time passed, Grandpa's legs still didn't heal. For the first time, Yang Tianlin felt hatred for Grandpa in his heart.In the past, no matter how father treated him, the one who complained in his heart was always the mother who left him behind, but now he doesn't think so. Since father can be so cruel to his father who is so obedient to him, then usually It's not all because of A Niang who treats his son so badly, it's obviously because A father is selfish and can only think of himself.

"Grandfather, I went to the mountains this morning to chop a piece of wood ginger and came back. The village chief said that this kind of wood is the best for a walking stick. After breakfast, I will send it to Uncle Zhang and ask him to make a walking stick for you." Legs are inconvenient. Although I can’t go to the ground anymore, I can still do things at home. It’s just that it’s inconvenient to do things with a crippled leg. Yang Tianlin once heard the village head talk about walking sticks, so he went to the mountains to find out that it’s suitable for making walking sticks. The firewood came back, I hope Grandpa can make his daily activities more convenient.

It's October now, and the weather is getting colder. Seeing his grandson wearing only a single shirt, Grandpa Yang felt distressed but didn't dare to say too much. He was afraid that his grandson would complain at home and let his life Even worse.

"Linzi, you can't wear these clothes anymore. You can see that more than half of your arms are exposed. Grandpa still has a half-new dress here. You can take it and ask your grandma to change it for you." Asking the family to make new clothes for the grandson, Grandpa Yang can't open the mouth now. From the month he was injured, he knows that he will have no status in this family in the future, and now he has to Looking at the faces of his son and daughter-in-law, he can't take care of his grandson much.

"Grandpa, no need, daddy said that he will sell me new clothes this year." Yang Tianlin still remembered what his dad said in summer, so he reassured grandpa that he would have new clothes to wear.

In summer, when Yang Tianlin went out every morning, he would bring home melons for his father. His father liked to eat that, so he said at that time that he would make new clothes for him this winter.Yang Tianlin always remembered what Dad said, but the weather was getting colder, and he couldn't stand wearing only one single shirt anymore, so he found clothes that he couldn't wear before and put them on, but those clothes were old clothes that couldn't be worn. His stature was no longer comparable to that of the previous two years, and those clothes could not be worn at all. It was at this time that he couldn't wait anymore, so he went to talk to his father about the new clothes, but his father caught him and beat him severely.

"Daddy, daddy!" When Yang Tong hit his son, he usually looked at what was around him, grabbed it and greeted his son. This time when his son told him about the new clothes, he was sizing Firewood, so I grabbed a firewood stick and greeted my son.

Yang Tianlin has been stubborn since he was a child, as long as he thinks that he is right, he will not bow his head easily. Although he was afraid of being beaten and hungry, he would often beg for mercy from his father and stepmother, but this time he did not do anything. He refused to beg for mercy, but just knelt on the ground and kept calling Daddy and Daddy.

Yang Tong heard his son calling daddy, and gradually he couldn't do it anymore, and then he looked at the clothes on his son's body, and he really couldn't wear them anymore, so he wanted to make a set for him.Wang Ying and Yang Tong have also lived together for several years. Looking at Yang Tong's face, he knew that Yang Tong wanted to compromise, so she quit now.

"New clothes? What new clothes do you want for the new year? Do you know how much money my father spent in vain a few days ago? Also, the baby in my stomach will be born in March and April next year. No money is needed when the child is born. And my father can't get off the land, so he can only stay at home and eat and drink for free. It doesn't need money! Now we have to save every penny at home. Why don't you make new clothes if you have nothing to do? Don't you have clothes to wear? ? I didn’t see you go out naked one day!”

Wang Ying is full of discomfort now. She used to put up with Yang Tianlin because that boy was the only child in the family, and the elders in the family still protected him, but now that she has a child, the elder has become a useless person. , why should she put up with this brat!It's fine if you don't drive him out of the house if you return the new clothes!

Because there is one less labor force in the family, Wang Yingniang's brothers come to help with some things in winter. Yang Tong is now coaxing Wang Ying, so he doesn't dare to fight against others, thinking about his son's clothes. It can be pushed, anyway, children are jumping and jumping all day long, and they will not freeze to death if they wear less clothes.

With a decision in his mind, Yang Tong looked at his son's teary face, then at his wife's face, and finally decided to scold his son and let it go.

"You brat, what kind of clothes do you want? I don't have any new clothes yet! You're free, right? Then get out! Hurry up and bring me back with a basket of firewood!" Yang Tong is habitual. Teach my son a lesson, this time when he heard his son asked for new clothes, he also subconsciously wanted to give someone a meal, but when he heard his son's request, he was ready to agree, but later his wife objected and he couldn't agree, but seeing his son's face At the time, I still felt a little guilty and uncomfortable, so I had to drive him out.

"Daddy, daddy..." Not only didn't get what he wanted, but he had to go up the mountain to do things, Yang Tianlin called him daddy in a low voice, hoping that daddy would figure it out and agree to him, but wait until he He took the tools and put the basket on his back, but his father still didn't respond, so he could only go up the mountain obediently, but this time he didn't imagine how his father would treat him if he regretted it, all he thought about was why Time flies so slowly, when will he grow up.

Yang Tianlin himself still likes to go to the mountains in winter, but it is still October, the mountains are not so fun, the pine leaves are not very thick, and the ice strips by the ditches have not yet frozen, and at this time the ground The sweet potatoes have not been taken home yet, so we can’t go to the open field to start a fire. Fires are not allowed in the mountains, only in the empty sweet potato fields, because this will not cause wildfires.

When Yang Tianlin went up the mountain, he met Huzi. Huzi’s family members were chopping firewood in the mountain. Yang Tianlin and Yang Tianlin and Huzi went to a higher place together. Cut the white grass and collect firewood lumps by the way.

"Linzi, your mother has a baby, right? I heard what my mother said, alas, you are really unlucky, and you will not have a good life in the future. My mother said that after the stepmother has a baby, she will Your stepmother treated you poorly before, and she will treat you worse in the future.” Huzi was the same age as Yang Tianlin, and they played together when they were young, so he would worry about Yang Tianlin.

Of course Yang Tianlin himself knew it, but now he knows that there is nothing he can do about it. What he used to hope every day was that his father would treat him better, but now he doesn't expect his father to treat him better, he just hopes that he can be faster When I grow up, I can separate from my father and live on my own. If I can let myself be the master of the house, I will definitely live a good life and will never be starved.

In winter, there are relatively few things to do at home. In autumn, all the firewood has been chopped back home and yarded, enough for half a year, and there is no heavy work in the field. At most, all the sweet potatoes in the field are taken back home. .Because the family could no longer use such a labor force, Yang Tong thought about going to the town to find some work, and it was enough for the two of them to keep the family.

"It's good to go to the town to find some work. The Chinese New Year will be in two months, and I will need money to buy some new year's goods." Seeing Wang Ying's belly getting bigger day by day, Wang Guihua was also happy, saying that the pointed belly is her son When he saw Wang Ying's belly, he felt that he must be a big boy. He was naturally happy to have a grandson Wang Guihua. Looking at the family situation, he hoped that his son would earn more money to subsidize the family.

"Aniang, I heard that Yang Liu and the others are going to move to the town, right?" Yang Tong said the same thing, but he himself didn't believe it. He brought back a lot of money, but the family moved to the town, which was a place where money was spent for everything, how could the little money earned by Yang Liu support a whole family.

It's okay if Yang Tong doesn't say this, but Wang Guihua gets upset when he mentions it. She and his cousin married into the Yang family together, and both of them have only one son. His son has been better than that Yang Liu since he was young. But now the son can usually find some odd jobs in the town to subsidize the family, it would be great, but that Yang Liu became an apprentice because he was favored by the boss in the town, and now he has set up a house in the town, and the whole family has to move Went to town.

"Don't talk about this, what do people care about our business? You should hurry up and tell your wife about your going out."

"Okay." Yang Tong's proposal was something Wang Ying couldn't wait for, so he naturally agreed.When the family members talked about this, Yang Tianlin kept listening, and he was still a little sad when he heard that Tang Grandma's family was going to move out. No one was nice to him.

Because he kept thinking about what his father mentioned, Yang Tianlin ran out secretly. He wanted to ask grandma if he was really leaving.

"Linzi, you will grow up soon. Listen to Grandma. When you turn fourteen, you will go to the village chief's house to find the village chief. Let the village chief decide to divide the family for you. Just bear with it for the past few years." It will be better in a few years." Grandma Yang watched Yang Tianlin grow up, she also knows the child's temperament, which child in this village can endure hardships like him?And he is also a caring person who treats him well and he can remember it.In addition to this, Grandma Yang also knows that this child is better than the village boy. This child is literate. He has been taught by his father since he was a child, but he didn't learn it this year. As long as he can read, he can go out when he grows up. You can also find a job that is enough to support your family.

"Okay. Grandma, it's fine if you go to the town. Uncle is so kind to you." Yang Tianlin suddenly remembered that some people in their village had moved to the town before, but those people didn't take their mother away. Everyone thought they were going to stay at home to look after the house, but within a few days after they left, someone came and kicked out the house, saying that his son had already sold the house. Only the people in the village knew that the unfilial son left his mother in the village and took his wife and children to the town.

Thinking of the old man's later situation, Yang Tianlin felt that he was very selfish in not wanting to let Grandma go, and that Grandma could only live well with her uncle.

After leaving Grandma Yang's house, Yang Tianlin sneaked back home again.His father is leaving tomorrow, but he didn't say anything to him. He still remembers that in the past, his father would call him first when he came back from the house. When you buy something by yourself, when you come back, you will be the first to call yourself, and you will immediately give yourself the things you bought for yourself.

In the past, my father would teach me how to write, ask me about my homework, and buy me books to go home.

"Daddy, Daddy, I hate Mommy too, can you stop hating me..." The weather is already very cold now, but the quilt in Yang Tianlin's room is really not thick, he is young and has no The heat, even after sleeping for a while, the body is still very cold, and I can't sleep because I am talking about my father.

Yang Tong left home the next day, and Yang Tianlin's uncle's family also moved away. When the uncle's family moved out, Yang Tianlin was afraid that his grandma would be left behind, but fortunately, they did not, and the family left together. .

I don't know why people left in such a hurry, and they haven't been at home for several years. Yang Tianlin waited for his uncle's family to leave, then ran to grandpa's house, sleeping next to grandpa and refused to get up. Ying was swearing outside and even went in to fight, but he refused to get up.

"Linzi, what are you doing? Your father is not at home. If you don't listen to your mother, you will suffer if she starts to fight." Grandpa Yang's leg hurts badly these days, I could already stand up with the crutches, but these days may be due to the cold weather, my legs hurt unbearably, and I can’t move like when I was injured, and the pain lasted all night , can't sleep at all.

His leg hurts and he can't do much, and being unable to do things but having to eat is naturally dissatisfied, so Grandpa Yang didn't dare to intercede with his grandson, he just wanted his grandson to follow Wang Ying and suffer less.

Yang Tianlin was being stubborn these few days, and when Grandpa talked about Father, he felt even more uncomfortable. When Father went out this morning, he was by his side, but Father didn't say a word to him and instead talked to him. Wang Ying talked a lot, and when she left, she even touched Wang Ying's stomach.

"Grandpa, even if Dad is at home, he won't protect me, and maybe he will help Auntie beat me." After having a younger brother, it will be even more impossible for Dad to protect himself.Thinking of the younger brother in the stepmother's womb, Yang Tianlin's desire to leave the family as soon as possible became even stronger, but when he left, what would Grandpa do?

"Grandpa, when I grow up, you can live with me. Let's move out and live on our own. I will raise grandpa and give grandpa white rice to eat." Yang Tianlin said seriously, but grandpa Yang was happy and at ease. He is naturally happy that his grandson treats him well, but if this continues, his grandson will definitely not care about his son's life or death in the future.

When he was talking with his grandson again, Grandpa Yang talked to his grandson about how to be filial to his father in the future. Yang Tianlin felt something was wrong when he heard it, but he still listened patiently. Grandpa is not happy, but what he wants to do in the future is his own business.
