On the bare branches, the tooth germ that had just spit out had not yet fully grown, and what greeted them was a harsh frost. At this moment, the hills in front and behind the house were all a bit shrill yellow-brown. On the yellow-brown hills, the white frost condensed on the stone branches looked like a layer of fine salt.

This is a newly built large brick house in the small valley. The red bricks can almost make people smell the smell of the brick kiln. The red walls, red doors, and the pair of door gods attached to the door all reveal a joyful smell.

The door god is newly posted. Zhang Fei, who is glaring on the red base and Guan Yu, who is holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, are lifelike. There is a simple couplet on both sides of the door god - "People are diligent and spring come early, and there are many happy events in the family" - for these ordinary people in the small hills, there is indeed no more expectations than this.

This newly built house is located in the middle of Xiaoshangou Village. There are mountains in front and behind the gate. A dirt road that has been around for many years has connected the newly built house with other houses in the village. Putting this house in other places may not be a big deal, but compared to other houses in the village with fences and lumps of earth, this brand new large brick house is really eye-catching. In a fashionable way, what is it called? What is it called? By the way, it stands out!

Look at the tall door heads that are taller than each section, as well as the vermilion iron gate, and the bronze lion head handle on the gate... Drink, that's so cool. Even the landlords and Lao Cai in the village in the old society did not have this style at home. Apart from these, you look up, you see that the big plate-like thing on the roof is what the round iron bucket is? That's called solar energy. As long as the sun comes out, you can take a hot bath in less than an hour. These are all fashionable things in the city. How much does it cost to build this house? At least 70,000 or 80,000 or 70,000 or 80,000 or 70,000 or 80,000! Old Man Lei's family counts this time

It is developed. I remember that his house often leaked. Look at it now? Who told me that he had a good son? I heard that the son of Old Man Lei's family is promising. He used to be a soldier outside. This time he came back, he was in a hurry. Not only did he pay back all the debts that Old Man Lei had owed before, but he also found the best doctor in the city to see his legs. He originally heard that Old Man Lei's legs might have been sawed off, but now they are also saved. Old Man Lei's legs were saved, but Old Man Lei's old house was not saved. The Lei Yu called a group of workers and personally directed it. After a burst of noise, the old one was pushed down and the new house appeared. Look at this new house with red bricks and red doors, how grand!

Today is just the second day of the Lunar New Year. The firecrackers in front of this new house have not been blown away by the wind. Early in the morning, a few naughty children in the village were already throwing firecrackers everywhere in the village. The crisp sound of firecrackers spread from afar and came back from a distance. Amid the children's laughter and firecrackers, the small village in the valley has gradually awakened and revitalized. Several families have smoked smoke.

Today is a good time to visit relatives!

The thunderstorm got up very early today. When it was still dark, he had already gotten up. This seemed to be a habit developed in the army. After washing up quietly, he simply put on a pair of pants and vests, and carried an axe to the yard. In a corner of the yard, there were piles of wood piles almost the same height as the thunderstorm. The thunderstorm had been struck for two days. The thunderstorm was thinking that just today, how could they be able to chop these things up?

The thunderstorm is very straightforward to chop firewood. Usually, the firewood to be chopped on Mu Dun, he swung his arms and axe down, and the firewood turned into two pieces. Except for being straightforward, the thunderstorm is like a machine that is not tired. He picked up the axe and never stopped. When the naughty children outside the yard set off the first firecracker, the firewood that the thunderstorm cracked was piled up in front of him like a hill.

Although the weather was a little cold, when the thunderstorm was still so hot that he was sweating all over. His vest that he wore in the army had been soaked with sweat for a long time. If he twisted it, he could make a bowl of sweat. Thunderstorm's arm was even more steaming, as if he had just come out of the bathhouse.

Thunderstorm put a piece of wood and tightened the axe on his hand. The handle of the axe was already a little slippery when he held it because of too much sweat on his hands.

"Drink..." Lei Yu shouted softly, raised his axe, and went down with an axe, and the firewood turned from the middle to two pieces.

"Brother, have a drink of water!" Just as Lei Yu was about to get a firewood, a timid voice rang behind him.

As soon as you hear this sound, Thunderstorm will know who it is.

Lei Yu threw down his axe, turned around, took a bowl of water from the man behind, drank it in, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and handed the bowl to the man.

The man was a little girl wearing a new dress and looked like she was ten years old. She was about as tall as Thunder Rain's shoulders. Her skin was slightly dark, but she was very smooth, shining with a pink that represents health. Her face was vaguely three-pointed to Thunder Rain, but she looked much more beautiful than Thunder Rain. She had two small braids and her watery eyes were already a bit like a big girl.

"Xiaoyun, have your parents got up?"

"Get up. Our father just got up. My mother is making breakfast in the kitchen."

After hearing his girl's words, Lei Yu turned around and went upstairs to his father's house, which was also new.

On the snow-white walls inside, the only decoration is a chart of the Eight Immortals that I bought at the market for 2 yuan last time.

When the thunderstorm came to his father's room, his father was practicing walking in the room with a crutch.

"Dad, what are you doing? Sit down quickly. Didn't the doctor say that your legs need to rest for another week before you get out of bed?" Lei Yu quickly helped his father to sit down by the bed, put his father's crutch aside. The thick and generous man first wiped his hands on his pants, and then carefully rolled up his father's right trouser legs, revealing the gauze wrapped inside. A smell of medicine spread out in the room. Lei Yu carefully checked it and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, don't do this in the future. If you want to get out of bed and move, you will have to go out of bed and move slowly after changing two more pieces of such medicine."

Old Man Lei looked at his son, just like when he was a child. He gently placed his hand on Lei Yu's hair and rubbed it gently. The wrinkles on his face were filled with relief and helplessness. "It's all my father's useless, I didn't make a lot of money, and I was still disabled. I spent all my tuition fees on your girl when I went to the hospital twice. After you came back, although my father's leg was saved, I spent 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. That money is enough for you to marry a wife."

Lei Yu lowered his head and almost fell down his tears, "Dad, don't say that. As long as you can keep your leg, I'm willing to do it no matter how much it costs. You don't have to worry about Xiaoyun's tuition. I'll prepare her for the tuition and living expenses for school in the future, which is enough for her to finish her four years of college safely." Lei Yu said, quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, "Dad, wait, I'll give you some alcoholic and chemical medicine."

After Lei Yu finished speaking, he took an electric heater and a bottle of white wine in the room, plugged it in, adjusted the temperature of the heater, and squatted on the ground, put his father's legs on his thighs, opened the wine bottle, poured the wine inside on his father's gauze, wrapped in herbs, and he gently massaged the muscles on his father's calf. Heavy?"

"Not heavy!"

Lei Yu was talking while massaged, "The doctor said that the most feared thing about your legs is cold now. This electric heater was specially bought for you to use. Don't be reluctant to use it."

"Oh, this guy used several hundred yuan when he bought it. If the money was bought, it would be enough for your mother and I to burn it for a year. It consumed electricity again. This kilowatt-hour is also 80 cents. When you didn't come back, sometimes in order to save electricity, your mother and I lit oil lamps every night, but lighting the oil lamps is no longer possible now," said Old Man Lei, while turning his neck and looking at the house where he lives, his eyes flashed, "You built this house. I never dreamed that one day I could live in such a beautiful house. Using oil lamps would blacken these walls. Your father, I will take good care of this house and prepare for you to marry a wife in the future. When your father and I get better, I will make a beautiful set of furniture for you."

Old Man Lei was looking forward to a bright future, and his face became much rosy. Lei Yu just lowered his head and quietly massaged the muscles on his father's legs until his girl walked into the house with a bowl of candy-boiled eggs.

"Brother, I'm ready to prepare breakfast. I'll serve my father. I'll ask you to go down and eat."

Lei Yu's kitchen is downstairs and is connected to the dining room. After the thunderstorm, Lei Yu's mother had already cooked a bowl of sugar-watered eggs and placed them in front of him. Lei Yu only ate a little bit, and sat at the table with a comforting look as Lei Yu was eating there.

After wiping his mouth, Lei Yu put the empty bowl on the table, "Mom, I'm done."

"In the afternoon, your fourth uncle and your second aunt are going to visit us. After our new house was built, it was the first time your second aunt came here. She also wanted to see you, so don't run around."

"I get it, mom!"

"The biogas tank you built for your home is really useful. Now it saves much air in cooking than before. The fire is just a little bit, and even firewood is saved. Your fourth uncle came here last time and it was very strange. This time he came, probably just wanted you to help him get one. Your fourth uncle has always been kind to our family. We can pay back the money we owe, and we must also repay the kindness we owe. Do you know, Lei Zi? You are growing up and you have a promising future, so you can't forget your roots."

"I understand. I will take the matter of the Fourth Uncle to heart. I don't want his money."

"That's right! During these days you came back, you got up early every day to do things, and kept doing it until dark. You only slept for a few hours every day. You have almost finished your family's work. Now you have someone to build a house at home, you have paid back the debts owed by the family, and you have everything you should have. Logically, I should be happy in my heart, but every time I see you get up before dawn, I will feel distressed." Lei's mother said, tears fell down, "Now the burden of this family is all on you alone, and your father and I can help less and less. Don't say it, but my mother knows very well that after the New Year, you will leave when your father's legs are up."

Lei Yu didn't say anything, but just gently wiped his mother's tears. Lei Mother grabbed Lei Yu's hand, and the tears that had just been wiped out came out from the corner of her eyes again. Because these days they were constantly chopping firewood, the blisters on Lei Yu's hand were rubbed layer after layer, breaking and growing, and the whole hand could not find a good piece of skin.

Looking at it, tears wet the palms of Thunderstorm.

Lei Yu smiled and comforted his mother, "Now our house has a biogas pool, and our father is reluctant to throw away the firewood. If I don't chop it now, when our father is a little better, he will go to chop firewood again, and it will be fine. If I really want to talk about this, I want to discuss something with my mother."

"What's up."

"When my father's legs get better, I'm going to leave. I think we can keep the two-point land in front of the door, so let the other land be planted by my fourth uncle and Lin Bo's family. You and my father are old and can't do much work. Apart from leaving some land to plant some vegetables we eat, we won't grow anything else. What do you think?"

"Have you told your father about this?"

"My father listens to you the most. As long as my mother agrees, my father will not disagree."

...

In the afternoon, Lei Yu's fourth uncle and second aunt all came to Lei Yu's house.

Lei Yu's second aunt is in other villages and is a bit far away from here. This is the first time since Lei Yu came back. When Lei Yu had not come back, his second aunt raised two thousand yuan from home to treat Lei Yu's father. This time, Lei Yu came here without saying a word and handed it to his second aunt. After a while of refusal, her second aunt was so excited.

In addition to his second aunt, after Lei Yu's fourth uncle visited Lei Yu's new home again, he was even more envious of the biogas pool of Lei Yu's house.

"Leizi, your biogas pool is really good. Not only is it easy to cook, but it can also accumulate fat. It has been taken care of by the ground. This pool is made of cement. Look, it is really acquainted and beautiful when buried underground!" The fourth uncle of Lei Yu said, sucking the cigarette pole while sucking it.

Lei Yu knew his fourth uncle's temper. Although this fourth uncle is sometimes a little sloppy, he is very good. He also takes good care of his family when he is not around.

"Well, this pool is really useful. I see that the yard of Uncle Fourth's house is also very large, and one can be dug in that place. Just so, there are still some materials left when I built the house. If I like it, I will build one for Uncle Fourth's house in two days."

"Oh, Lei Zi, how can you be so embarrassed?"

"It's okay, it's just a good thing, it won't take much effort."

"How much does it cost?"

"How can I ask for your money from Uncle Fourth? If you say that, I won't come."

Uncle Fourth's eyes narrowed with a smile, "You kid are capable and have good conscience."

"By the way, I have something to discuss with my fourth uncle."

"What's the matter? You said it! It's covered by Uncle Fourth

"What happened to my father this time is all due to the help of everyone in the village and the fourth uncle. I will leave after my father's legs get better. My sister is about to go to school. I originally wanted to pick up my parents, but they don't want to, and I can't do it. I am not here, so I can only rely on the villagers and neighbors in the village to take care of them. I have nothing to repay all the villagers. I have been walking on the dirt road that passes by my doorstep for many years. I am the village chief, so I can do this matter!"

After Lei Yu finished speaking, he handed Uncle Fourth a paper bag, which was heavy and heavy.

"Lei Zi, what is this?"

"This is 50,000 yuan. I calculated it. This money is enough for us to repair the small road in the village with cement. I will treat it as my parents to repay all the villagers."

The fourth uncle held the bag and looked at the thunder rain carefully. He didn't say anything for a while. He knocked the cigarette pole on the soles of his shoes, "Good boy, I'm sure I'm not wrong with you. It's really a big deal. Uncle Fourth accepted the money on behalf of the young and old in our village. Tonight I will call everyone to a meeting in the village to talk about this matter with everyone. Don't worry, the fourth uncle promises that every cent of the money will be used on the road. After you leave, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will be handed over to me, and the neighbors will also watch it for you."

Lei Yu bowed deeply to Uncle Fourth, "thank you, Uncle Fourth!"

...

After just two weeks of the Chinese New Year, Thunderstorm left. After changing medicine a few times, he went to the hospital for a few more times. When he left, his father could already throw away his crutches and walk down the ground. Although his steps were a little staggering and he didn't walk very quickly, finally, his father could walk down the ground.

Before the thunderstorm, because of his money, a cement road appeared in their village for the first time. Although the road was not long or wide, it was built from the beginning of the village to the end of the village according to its original size. However, the simple villagers in the village still gained a lot of convenience from it.

The day before Lei Yu left, he invited his neighbors to have a meal at his house. While eating, the villagers had already changed from "Old Man Lei" to "Old Man Lei" when they called Lei Yu's father.

Lei Yu saved 100,000 yuan of tuition and living expenses for his sister. The money was enough for his sister to go to college for four years. In addition to these 10 yuan, Lei Yu also saved 200,000 yuan for his parents in the bank and bought insurance...

After doing everything without any worries, Thunder Rain kept flying to the provincial capital. For Thunder Rain, now it was time for him to hand over his life to that man.

On February 19, the thunderstorm came to mk!
