See you in the world

Chapter 435 Three Little Things

Even if the sky falls, the living will always live their lives. A few days after the casualties of the expedition were buried, the life in Xiaoxi Village returned to its former peace. The pain is not so easy, it takes time to smooth it over.

However, when the time passes and the vicissitudes of life pass, who will remember who? Maybe when you are alive, do more happy things and leave more traces of your own existence, so that life will be meaningful...

There are less than ten days until the New Year Festival, and the weather is gloomy, Yun Jing got up and went downstairs to see his younger brother Yun Dong sitting on the threshold and staring into the distance in a daze.

Seeing this, Yunjing, who was about to go to the town to bring back the custom-made stove, couldn't help asking curiously: "Xiaodong, what are you doing, isn't it cold?"

"Brother, leave me alone, I have something on my mind," Yun Dong pretended to be deep and serious, as if I was thinking about life.

Yun Jing can't help but laugh, you little brat has a ghost on his mind, a kid like this is probably idle, just give him a good beating...

If you want to think about it, Yun Jing is fine and he will go to play with his brother and laughed: "Oh, there is a mind, tell your brother, help you with a staff, do you like which girl? If so, Our family's conditions are not bad now, how about asking someone to propose marriage for you?"

Yun Dong looked at Yun Jing speechlessly and said, "Brother, where did you go, I'm not interested in girls now..."

"Mother, it's terrible. Your family Yun Dong doesn't like girls. Could it be that he is stupid in reading, what should he do if he likes boys..." Yun Xi, who was rubbing her eyes, was still not sober. The words suddenly sobered up, and then bluffed to find the old lady to report this extraordinary situation.

Yun Dong covered his face, he hadn't posted it in a few days, what and what, the little girl's personality can piss me off.

Yun Jing also couldn't laugh or cry, sat down next to Yun Dong, and asked: "Don't pay attention to her, tell brother, what are you thinking?"

After thinking about it for a while, Yun Dong glanced in the direction of the back mountain, and said in a melancholy tone: "Brother, Third Uncle and the others went to serve in the army, if they had been armed with martial arts, I'm afraid such a tragedy would not have happened. ?”

"Why do you have such an idea?" Yun Jing said dumbly.

Looking down, looking at an ant crawling by his feet, Yundong said: "This idea has been around since that day. When I saw the ashes of my third uncle and the others come back, I felt very uncomfortable, and then I was thinking, Only when you are strong can you control your own destiny, otherwise you can only be like a mustard, a little bit of wind and rain, and your destiny can't be controlled by yourself."

Huh?Little brother actually thought so much?
Yun Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Yun Dong, only to realize that he had reached a critical period of growth.

After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "Xiao Dong, what you said is right, but not all right"

"How to say?" Yun Dong was stunned, this time was the first real heart-to-heart talk between the two brothers.

Yun Jing said seriously: "What you mean by your own strength is only in terms of force, but what I want to tell you is that a person's true strength does not refer to one aspect, but all-round strength is truly powerful. The strength of force is only to arm our bodies. If we don’t have the wisdom to match it, we will only become reckless. If we don’t pay attention, we will become someone else’s chess piece and be manipulated by others. Apart from force, wisdom is also the key. Armed with wisdom What matters is our brain, with enough wisdom, it will allow us to grasp the overall situation and the human heart more thoroughly, and avoid a lot of troubles, do you understand what I said?"

"Understood, but fully understood," Yun Dong pondered, and then said: "But brother, no matter whether it is force or wisdom, if you can achieve the ultimate in a certain aspect, wouldn't you be able to control your own destiny?"

I can't resist...

The corner of Yunjing's mouth twitched, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Your statement is correct, but the crux of the problem is, how many people can achieve the ultimate in touch? As far as pure force is concerned, even if they become the legends in the world Can you truly control your own destiny in a state of freedom? To put it another way, if you simply do learning, even if you are knowledgeable, even if you are an extremely talented minister, you can control your own destiny? So, you think too much, and you can't If you want to achieve the ultimate, you can only make up for your own shortcomings from other aspects.”

With mosquito coils all over Yun Dong's eyes, he blinked and said, "Brother, I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Didn't I play the piano to the cow?

In fact, at Yundong's age, he really couldn't understand what he said to him, and then he got up and said: "Then you can think about it slowly, in fact, you can think so much from the experience of third uncle and the others, which is very good, but It’s really meaningless to think about these things, because we humans, living in this world, just live in the present moment, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.”

Looking at Yunjing's back, Yundong muttered blankly: "So what did my brother and I say?"

Not on the same channel at all.

Then Yundong continued to look at the sky in a daze. His own problems had not been resolved. In fact, after seeing the ashes of the villagers who returned from the expedition, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He was afraid that this kind of thing would happen to him one day. Then came the idea of ​​becoming stronger.

But he is still young, the concept of so-called powerful is very vague, and he doesn't know how to operate it.

Well, the young man has also started to have his own troubles and thoughts. For these things, Yunjing can only remind him from the side that the real growth still depends on himself.

Yun Jing who went out shook his head secretly in his heart, look, this is the end of reading half a bucket of water, have an idea, but can't figure it out, the whole person is at a loss, he hasn't even figured out the concept, can figure it out That's weird.

Not long after Yunjing came to the town, the blacksmith shop had built several stoves, Yunjing first moved one to his wife's house, and installed it for use.

After staying at Shi's wife's house for a while, Yunjing sent another stove to Mr. Yang Yunkong's house. During the process, he chatted with Yang Yunkong for a while, and after a short stay, he said goodbye and left. Finally, Yang Yunkong also gave Yunjing a book.

In the end, Yunjing went home with a stove on his shoulders. Currently, only three of them have been built in the blacksmith shop, and the rest will be sent to the corresponding people after they are finished.

When the stove is turned on at home, the whole house is warm and hot water is available at any time, and the whole family is very happy.

Young people's thoughts are changeable. After half a day, Yun Dong has not been entangled with the problem in the morning. He was playing with the chicken he raised at home. After a while, he actually developed feelings...

By the fire, after Yunshan fully understood this new thing, he looked at Yunjing and said, "Xiaojing, this stove is good, warm and convenient, and I will make one for your aunt when I have time. She lives alone and has this thing." It is also very convenient”

"Father, don't worry, I have already made arrangements, but the blacksmith's manpower is limited, so I haven't made it yet, well, I'll send it to my aunt as soon as possible," Yun Jing said with a smile.

Nodding, Yun Shan no longer struggled, his son had his own opinions since he was a child, and then he couldn't help asking: "Boss, I see that you have been busy with this and that during the time you have been back, so what are you going to do next?" What are you doing?"

When there is something to do, I will be Xiaojing, and when there is nothing to do, I will be the boss. Dad, you are too realistic...

Muttering in his heart, Yun Jing said, "Father, why do you ask such a question?"

"I am your father, why do you need to plan for the future?" Yun Shan immediately showed his old father's hegemony and stared.

You are a father, I can't afford to mess with you.

So Yun Jing thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of things to do next, prepare for the exam, and try to get the honor of juren in the next two years, but this is not urgent, and I am sure, right now, I plan to clean up our yard For a moment, lay stone slabs in the yard, so that there is not too much muddy water when you go in and out, lay stone slabs to level the yard, and it is convenient to dry things in summer and autumn, and then plan to build a pavilion in the yard, where you can enjoy the wind and drink tea when you have nothing to do. Reading books is also very good”

"You want to be fancy all the time, and if you have the time, since you want to prepare for the exam, why don't you read more?" Yun Shan pouted, he didn't understand the elegant enjoyment of scholars at all.

Feeling that there was a generation gap between him and his son, and he couldn't continue the conversation, Yun Shan simply got up and prepared to find someone to have a glass of wine and chat with. After all, the idleness in this winter is idleness. When going out, he didn't forget to leave a sentence, saying: " So what, pave stone slabs in the yard and build a gazebo or something, hurry up for me, I don’t have enough money to find your mother..."

Just get a yard and still need money?Yun Jingxin said, Dad, you underestimate me too much.

Then, don't you think those fancy things, and make me hurry up again?
Seeing his father leaving, Yun Dong turned his head and winked at Yun Jing and said, "Brother, did you see that our father is so duplicity, in fact, he also really wants to see what kind of flowers you make in the yard, , although he doesn’t have so many ideas, it doesn’t prevent him from enjoying it.”

"Well, I completely agree." Yun Jing nodded, the two brothers reached a consensus, and then smiled at each other.

It is not a temporary idea to renovate the courtyard, but an idea long ago. It is only now that he has time to implement it. Not only is the courtyard repaired, but he is also planning to build a kang for the family, and then bring in running water and the entire toilet.

Now that the conditions permit, it is time to complete the supporting facilities and enjoy them.

Moreover, Yunjing has already planned in his heart, to lay the stone slabs in the yard, go to the mountains to find a barren hill and cut it, and when the time comes, he will take Dahei to carry it back, and the wood for the pavilion, he also has a forest at home, so he can cut a few trees. That's enough, with his current means, it's very convenient to do these things. In fact, what Yunjing prefers is the fun in the process of doing it himself.

Do it yourself, make your home the way you want, it's very comfortable to think about.

"When the time comes, you will have to help me too, and you will be idle when you are idle." After a little thought, Yun Jing looked at Yun Dong and said, deciding to pull his young man, well, the two brothers will work together to tidy up the yard before the New Year Festival .

"Brother, I think you can do it alone," Yun Dong shrank his neck and said.

Yun Jing squinted at him: "Huh?"

"No problem, you can do whatever you want!"

That's more or less.

Yun Jing is a man of action. Now that he has made a decision, he no longer hesitates. He intends to get the materials ready today, so he gets up and goes out to go into the mountain to lay the stone slabs for the yard.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, Grandpa Yunlin walked towards him.

"Xiaojing, are you going out?" Yunlin asked curiously.

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said, "I'm going to go into the mountains, what's up with Grandpa?"

He didn't worry about what Yunjing was doing in the mountains. Anyway, his grandson was very capable. Yunlin said, "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that I have discussed the road construction with the villagers."

"Have we discussed it? What do you say?" Yun Jing went back to the house, deciding to find out about this matter.

Yun Lin also went into the room and sat down, took a sip of steaming tea, said a sigh of relief, and then said: "In fact, not only do you have no opinion on the matter of road construction, but you are very positive. After all, it is really not very convenient to go out on this road. , and now that everyone’s conditions are getting better, I think it’s time to straighten out the road. When I mentioned it, they all actively agreed.”

Yun Jing nodded secretly. He knew early on that this matter was not a big problem, but no one had mentioned it before.

Then Yunlin said again: "Specifically, everyone decided to do this after discussing it. First, measure the length of the road and roughly how much it will cost, and then raise funds based on each household. Everyone definitely can't afford that much money, but in terms of labor, each family can save a lot of money, and then the people who contribute can eat at home, which can save a lot of expenses. When building roads, use these materials They are all nearby. In fact, the main expenditure is the wear and tear of tools, so it is not a big problem. There is no dangerous place on that road. It is almost all widened and leveled. fix the road"

Hearing his grandfather briefly say, in fact, Yunjing knew that it would not be that simple after the specific construction started, but the problem was not serious, so he pondered a little: "Grandpa, you can take care of this matter, if you need help from your grandson, feel free to Then, next year, when the road is built next year, can each family spare time? After all, road construction requires strong labor, so don’t delay the work in the field.”

"Don't worry about that. Now the conditions in the village are getting better. Most people have cattle. Except for the time of busy farming and autumn harvest, they can spare manpower at other times," Yunlin said with a cheerful smile.

In fact, Yunlin is a little sad in his heart. Now every household in the village can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Almost every household has lived in a new house, and most of them have cattle. Such a day was once unimaginable, but now it is realized. Alright, when did this day start?
Seems to be from the emergence of farmyard manure...

"Since you haven't delayed the concerns about farming, let's do it." Yun Jing smiled, and then slapped his forehead and said: "By the way, Grandpa, there is an organization called the Relief Society in the dynasty, and it was probably established by the second prince. , Many big households donate money to join the community to do good deeds. Our village needs to build roads, which is related to people's livelihood. I will take some time to ask if I can apply for a sum of money. If possible, the villagers can save a lot by raising funds and contributing money.”

"Is there such a good thing?" Yun Lin stared slightly, he had never heard of that relief agency at all.

Not to mention, when it comes to this, Yunjing's mind is active, there are big dogs who can squeeze the wool, so why should the villagers of Kuhaha pay money and effort?

The purpose of the establishment of the Relief Society is to help the people build bridges and pave roads. Isn't this in line with the original intention of the Relief Society?

If you come forward by yourself, it is not a big problem to apply for a sum of money. If necessary, Yunjing doesn't mind going to the president... Anyway, this is not filling his own pockets, but really doing things for the people at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Yun Jing smiled and said: "Grandpa, there is indeed such a thing, our place is remote, you haven't heard of it, it's normal, leave it to me, I should be able to apply for a sum of money, the great relief society will send someone to pay attention Funding movements, this is normal, and then, maybe they will send special road repair personnel to give pointers, which can save a lot of trouble."

The more Yun Lin listened, the more dreamy he became, and he said dumbfounded: "Why does it sound unreliable to me? According to Xiaojing, if you continue to talk like this, our village people and money will not be paid, and they will fix it for us directly, haha..."

"It's not impossible," Yun Jing pondered.

Yun Lin didn't believe it at all, shook his head and said: "Okay, anyway, the road construction is settled, and the busy farming will start after the New Year Festival. I will discuss with everyone about starting the construction during the period after the busy work. , and strive for everyone to be able to go to the town from the spacious road by the end of next year.”

"Grandpa, you can decide this matter, and then I will find a way to apply for the money during this time," Yun Jingting nodded and smiled.

His family is indeed not short of money, and it is not a big deal to just use the money to repair the road, but this is not the way to be a human being, it will create a gap with the villagers, man, if you stand too high, you will not fit in with the group, get along It would be awkward, after all, the family still lives in Xiaoxi Village.

However, it is no problem to get benefits from the dynasty. It is national welfare, not Yunjing's family's ostentatious charity, and the money is brought through Yunjing to help everyone save money. got things.

Immediately starting road construction is unrealistic at the moment, Yunjing returns to the present, and first fixes his own yard. After discussing with his grandfather, Yunjing went out into the mountains to find stone materials for the yard.

Xiaoxi Village is located in a remote place, surrounded by barren hills with no owners. After walking around, Yunjing found a suitable stone, a kind of bluestone with good texture, not far from home, only 2000 meters away, and With Dahei's physical strength, he could carry back enough stone slabs to pave the yard after a few more trips. After all, Yunjing didn't want to pave the yard completely, and had to leave the vegetable garden, flower garden, pond and gazebo area.

Since you want to tidy up the yard, then do it well, make it the way you like it, and live in it comfortably.

After finding the stone, Yunjing began to peel the stone slabs.

It is not difficult for him to cut the stone slabs. Using a set of cutting iron swordsmanship in the air, he can cut the stone slabs like cutting tofu.

Iron-cutting swordsmanship is a powerful swordsmanship used by those who practice martial arts in the later days of the day with internal force. Under normal use, the inner force is added to the body of the sword, which will form a sharp sword aura. Three feet.

But at this moment, Yunjing used spiritual energy to simulate the line of action of the iron-cutting sword technique, but it looked different when it was performed.

The aura formed a two-meter-long golden edge, like a substance, cutting gold and cutting jade is just a matter of leisure. In the face of this edge, if a warrior in the middle and late stages of innate talent does not have a strong body protection technique, it is estimated that he will be cut to pieces in an instant !

These methods are now used by Yunjing to cut stones... It can only be said that he is happy.

Under a barren bluestone mountain, Yunjing tried his best to push away the snow, and saw a golden edge flying up and down, penetrating into the stone wall from time to time, and the bluestone was cut into stone slabs of the same size, stacked neatly.

The stone slab is five centimeters thick and half a meter square. It is very suitable to use this thing to pave the yard.

It was almost done, Yunjing stopped, and then went home, the day was almost over, and the yard will be reorganized tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Yun Jing put on coarse clothes, picked Yun Dong up from the warm bed, went to the yard, threw him a hoe, and asked him to level the ground according to the lines Yun Jing had drawn in advance.

Yun Dong couldn't resist, so he could only wave his hoe while chanting.

In the winter, Yunshan Yunlin also had nothing to do, joined the activities of leveling the yard, and was very motivated. After all, they built their homes well. Their generation has the plot of the ancestral house, which is one hundred I'm happy, so Yun Dong, who is still quite critical, doesn't dare to fart.

After the arrangement here, Yunjing led Dahei to transport the stone slabs, hung two big baskets on Dahei's back, and could bring back 20 yuan at a time. After all, Dahei is not an ordinary farm cattle, he can be regarded as a strange beast Yes, the strength and endurance are beyond ordinary people's imagination. If it is not afraid of being too eye-catching, Yunjing estimates that Dahei will be able to transport 34 yuan at a time...

After all, the repairing of the yard at home cannot be hidden from the villagers, and idleness is idleness. When Yunjing took Dahei to transport the stone slabs for the third time, some villagers came to help.

The villagers are so enthusiastic, Yunjing is also happy to see the success, it's nothing more than a few pairs of chopsticks for the meal.

Not to mention, this kind of life away from fighting, killing, killing, and intrigue is quite good, full and happy, personally making the home into what you like, this sense of accomplishment is no better than how many people get the limelight in the competition. .

Of course, although this kind of small life away from right and wrong is comfortable, it will become boring after a long time. However, Yunjing has a lot of ways to adjust the boring mood. It is not yet the time to get bored, let him wait for a while.

Paving the yard with stone slabs is not a technical job. The ground is leveled and compacted, then the stone slabs are installed, and lime joints are filled in the gaps. In just three days, the yard of Yunjing's family is almost complete.

The flat and clean slate floor is comfortable to look at.

The yard was not completely paved with stone slabs. Yunjing left about a part of the vegetable field, and then planned the location of the small pond, flower garden and gazebo. In the coming year, flowers will be planted in the flower garden, and water lilies will be planted in the pond. It's very comfortable, drinking a glass of wine in the gazebo and blowing the breeze, tsk, those little days are beautiful just thinking about them.

After the yard was paved, Yunjing began to build the gazebo. The materials needed to resist a few logs were enough. It didn’t need to be done well. It had to be combined with the fantasy elements of the countryside. It couldn’t be too far away from the big environment, just plain and unpretentious.

Then there's the toilet...

Busy days always go by very quickly. After the yard of his house has been completely renewed, the annual New Year Festival is also here.

After the New Year Festival, it will be the arrival of the new year.
