Watchman– sheltered Chuk and Gek and their mother while Seregin was on an expedition.

A man lived in the forest near the Blue Mountains. He worked a lot, but in the winter he sent a letter to his wife in Moscow so that she and her sons, Chuk and Gek, would come to him. When the postman brought the letter, the boys fought over something, but immediately stopped. Having learned that the letter was from dad and he was inviting them to visit, the guys were very happy.

A week later the luggage was collected. Mother went to buy train tickets. While she was gone, the postman came and brought a telegram. Chuk hid it in his metal box. At this time, Huck, in the next room, was poking Chuk at the cardboard with his lance made of a stick and nail. Chuk took it and broke the pike. Then Huck threw Chuck's box out the window. Chuk shouting “Telegram!” ran out into the street, Huck followed him, but they failed to find the box. The boys decided not to tell their mother about what had happened unless she asked about the telegram herself.

The next day in the evening they left by train. At night, Huck went out into the train corridor, and then accidentally climbed into the wrong compartment. Fortunately, an unfamiliar mustachioed officer immediately took him to his mother.

When the mother and boys arrived at the station, contrary to expectations, the father did not meet them. The place where he lived was “a hundred kilometers through the taiga,” so the woman made an agreement with the coachman. On the way, they spent the night in a small hut-station and by the evening of the next day they were there. When we arrived, everyone was very surprised: there were no dogs or people at the base. Having gone to the guardhouse, the driver said that the watchman would most likely be there in the evening. Mom and sons stayed in the lodge, ate and fell asleep.

We woke up from a roar - the watchman returned. The mother introduced herself as Seryogin’s wife. The watchman said that they were not ordered to come, they were even sent a telegram to “delay leaving for two weeks.” The woman was surprised, but by the roar of the boys she realized that it was their doing.

The watchman said that the reconnaissance party would return no earlier than in ten days. Leaving food for his mother and children, he went into the taiga. The watchman did not return for a long time; on the morning of the fourth day, the woman had to chop the wood herself. After lunch, mom and Chuk went to get water. They left Huck at home - the woman thought he was sick. When mom and Chuk returned, Huck was nowhere to be found. The dog of the returning guard found the boy - Huck wanted to joke with his brother and mother and hid in an old chest, but fell asleep.

It turned out that the watchman went to the distant Alkarash gorge and brought a letter from the chief Seryogin: “he and the people will be here in four days, just in time for the New Year.” The next day, the boys and their mother began decorating the Christmas tree, making toys from scrap materials and wax candles.

“The four days of the case flew by unnoticed.” The boys had been waiting for their father since morning, but the geologists arrived on skis by lunchtime. Seeing his father, Huck rushed to meet him. In the evening, “everyone celebrated the New Year together.” One of the men played a merry dance on the button accordion, everyone danced, and then Huck sang a song. At midnight, Seryogin turned on the radio and “the melodious ringing” of the chimes could be heard.

“And then all the people stood up, congratulated each other on the New Year and wished everyone happiness. What happiness is - everyone understood it in their own way. But all together people knew and understood that they had to live honestly, work hard and love deeply” and take care of their country.

The main characters of A. Gaidar’s story “Chuk and Gek” are two little boys, Seryogin’s brothers. Chuk and Gek live with their mother in Moscow, and their father works as a geologist at a distant base in the taiga. Dad can’t seem to get time off from work and come visit his family. Therefore, he sent a letter in which he invited his wife and children to visit him at the geological base.

For a whole week, mother and children prepared for the trip and, finally, mother went to buy train tickets. But while my mother was away, the postman brought a telegram. The boys didn’t know how to read yet, so they put the telegram in a box before their mother’s arrival. However, it so happened that the boys quarreled and the box in which they put the telegram was thrown into the street. It was already winter and it was impossible to find the box in the snowdrifts. Fearing punishment, Chuk and Gek decided not to tell their mother about what happened with the telegram.

Soon the mother and children boarded the train and the journey began. They had to travel more than two thousand kilometers by rail and another hundred kilometers through the taiga. The train journey was very interesting for the boys. They didn't look away from the window the whole way.

But when the train arrived at the small station, for some reason dad didn’t meet them. Mom had to look for the coachman herself. It took them two days to get to the geologists' base on horseback. However, no one met them at the base; there were no people there either. The coachman managed to find out that someone was living in the watchman’s hut. Since there was no money for the return trip, my mother decided to stay. In the evening the base guard came. He said that all the workers had gone on an urgent business trip and would return in ten days. The watchman was also surprised why they arrived so early, because he himself was delivering a telegram to the station in which geologist Seryogin, the boys’ father, asked them to delay their departure for two weeks. Then it turned out that the boys had hidden the story of the telegram from their mother.

There was nothing to do, we had to wait for the geologists to return to the base. During this time, the restless Huck even managed to get lost once, but the guard’s dog found him, and everything turned out okay. While the geologists were away, mom cleaned up the room where the boys’ dad lived. Then she, together with Chuk and Huck, began preparing for the New Year. The watchman brought a beautiful Christmas tree from the forest, for which homemade toys and decorations were made.

Just before the New Year, geologists returned to base. Seregin was very happy that his whole family came to him. The New Year at the geologists' base was fun, with dancing and singing.

This is the summary of the story.

The main idea of ​​the story “Chuk and Gek” is that there is nothing stronger than family ties. And even a distance of thousands of kilometers is not an obstacle for a close-knit family. The story teaches us not to hide anything from our parents. Chuk and Huck remained silent about the telegram, and this became the cause of many difficulties that their mother had to overcome. However, everything ended well.

I liked Chuk and Gek’s mother in the story. This is a very brave and determined woman. She was not afraid to go on a long journey with two small children. And when she was faced with unforeseen circumstances, she behaved very wisely and competently, successfully waiting for her husband to return.

What proverbs fit the story “Chuk and Gek”?

Family is strong through friendship.
He is my brother, but he has his own mind.
All's well that ends well.

Among the most popular stories for children by A. Gaidar is “Chuk and Gek,” a brief summary of which we suggest reading. The trip of two brothers to the taiga, where their father lived and worked, became a real adventure for them. And for young readers - an opportunity to plunge into the interesting world of their peers.

Letter

Chuk and Gek lived in Moscow with their mother, and their father was on an expedition in the taiga. For a year now he had not seen his family, and when winter came, he received permission to invite his wife and children to visit him and immediately sent them a letter.

When the postman rang the doorbell, the boys fought again. Chuk and Gek (the brief summary does not allow us to talk about their mischief) were afraid that their mother had come. For punishment, she took them to their rooms for two whole hours. So they immediately wiped away their tears and rushed to the door together.

The boys immediately realized that the letter was from dad. Chuk and Huck decided that he would come home, and with joy they fell on the sofa and kicked the wall with their feet. Because of the screams and noise, the children did not hear their mother arrive. She began to read the letter, and her face first saddened, and then lit up with a smile. Mom explained that dad couldn’t come home, but he called them to his place. This is the beginning of the story “Chuk and Gek”, a summary of which you are reading.

Lost telegram

Preparations for departure took a week and were almost completed. Mom went to the station to buy tickets, and her sons quarreled again. If only they knew what this would lead to!..

Chuk was practical. He had a metal box and a shoe box in which various things were stored. Huck was not thrifty like his brother, but he knew how to sing well. And at that moment, when Chuk took out the box to take it with him, the bell rang. The postman brought a telegram, which the boy hid in his box. Entering the room, Chuk saw his brother fighting with his cardboard with a homemade lance. A fight broke out, and Huck threw the box with the telegram out the window. Chuk shouting “Telegram!” rushed out into the street, Huck hurried after him. But they didn't find the box. The brothers decided to tell about everything only if their mother herself asked about the telegram. This was the day and its summary. Chuk and Gek - Gaidar A.P. uses this offense to create intrigue - remained silent. But mom didn’t know that the postman was coming, and so the next evening the whole family set off on a long journey.

The path to the taiga

First we went by train. Outside the window, snow-covered fields, forests, and stations flashed by. We saw trains passing by. Huck walked along the carriage at night and, getting lost, ended up in someone else's compartment. And Chuk kept getting to know the passengers and received many interesting things as gifts.

Finally, we got off at a small station. But there were no sleighs for them. The upset mother agreed with the coachman that he would take them to the place for a hundred rubles. After having a snack at the buffet, we moved on, spending the night in a small hut along the way. Only by the next evening did they reach the station where dad lived.

This was the journey that Chuk and Gek made (the summary includes only its main points).

No one is waiting

But there were no people or traces near the three houses. Mom was frightened, and the coachman led everyone to the watchman’s hut and, adding that the latter should return in the evening (the stove was warm and the cabbage soup had not been taken out into the cold), he got ready for the return journey. He invited his mother to return with him, but she refused.

The watchman appeared in the evening. He explained that the head of the party, Seryogin, sent a telegram in which he asked his wife to postpone the visit for two weeks, since everyone had gone to the taiga for ten. The mother looked sternly at the children, and they roared in unison, then talked about the telegram. All that remained was to wait for the return of the expedition.

Left alone

The watchman left to check the traps for two days, and the mother was left alone with the children. This is how the story “Chuk and Gek” continues. Arkady Gaidar describes how they skinned a dead hare, went for water, and lit the stove. It was especially scary at night.

The fourth day came, and the watchman still did not return. Huck became completely sad, and it seemed to his mother that he had a fever. She left him at home, and she and Chuk went to get water. On the way back, the sleigh overturned, and we had to return to the spring again. When we got to the hut, it was already dark. However, there was neither Huck nor his sheepskin coat and hat in the room. The worried mother grabbed the gun left by the watchman and went in search. As she pulled the trigger, she heard shots. It was the watchman who hurried to the hut. It turned out that the bored Huck decided to scare his mother and brother and, grabbing clothes, hid in a large chest. He lay in it for so long that he fell asleep and did not hear the commotion that arose.

But the watchman was delayed because he was visiting geologists. He brought the keys to dad's room and a letter. The next morning the family moved to a new hut.

The most wonderful New Year

Mom put the house in order. The watchman brought a fluffy Christmas tree from the forest, and they all began making toys together. Finally, on New Year's Eve, the party returned. Chuk and Gek, seeing the approaching dog sled, rushed to the bearded man running in front.

And in the evening everyone celebrated the New Year together. This is how the story ends, and with it the summary of the book “Chuk and Gek”.

While two brothers, Chuk and Gek, were playing, the doorbell rang. Opening it, they saw a postman standing at the door, who brought a letter from their father.

The children were delighted and began to run around the apartment, not noticing that their mother had arrived. After reading the letter, she told her sons that their father was unable to come to them, so they themselves would go to him.

Preparations for the trip took place throughout the week. Almost before leaving, a quarrel arose between the brothers, during which Huck threw Chuk’s metal box out of the window, in which he found the telegram he had received.

Her long search did not bring any results, so the brothers decided not to say anything about what happened to their mother. The next day they set off on the journey by train.

At night, Huck woke up from extreme thirst and decided to go out into the corridor. Having sat on all the empty benches in turn, he nevertheless decided to return to his place, but in the darkness, having mixed up the compartment, he lay down on someone else’s bed. Finding that he was not in his compartment, Huck was very frightened, but adults helped him find his place.

The next morning everyone laughed for a long time at his nightly adventures. The day dragged on for a long time, and the boys looked out the window of their compartment, snow-covered forests and villages flashing behind it.

When the train arrived at its destination in the morning, no one met them. The angry mother left the children with their things, and she went to look for transport with which they could get to their father’s temporary residence.

Having agreed with the coachman, they, having loaded all the luggage and sitting comfortably in the sleigh, set off on a journey that ran through the taiga. They stopped for the night in a hut where the coachman stopped.

Throughout the next day they were on the road, passing through forests and mountains. When they reached their father's base, they found neither people nor dogs there. Having looked around all the houses, the driver found a still warm stove, and concluded that the people had gone hunting. The mother and children settled down on the warm stove and began to wait for the owners to return, quietly falling asleep.

They are because the guard of this station has returned. After explaining who they were, the mother learned that her father had sent her a telegram telling her not to go anywhere. Realizing what was going on, the mother asked her children what they did with the telegram from their father. In response, she heard friendly sobs.

Having calmed down a little, Chuk and Gek, interrupting each other, told their mother the whole story. The watchman explained to the mother that her husband, as part of a reconnaissance expedition, had urgently gone into the gorge and would be gone for another 10 days. The mother decided to stay with the children in this hut and wait for the father to return.

The watchman showed where the firewood and food supplies were, and he himself went into the taiga to check the traps. The days dragged on for a very long time. After a few days, food and prepared firewood began to run out, so the mother had to chop it herself. At one lunchtime, Huck was in a depressed mood, so his mother left him at home, and she and Chuk went to get water and brushwood.

Huck got bored and decided to have a little fun. Returning from the forest, mother and Chuk did not find Huck. After a long search, the mother took the gun and began shooting in the air. Someone responded to her call with a response volley. A watchman with a dog rushed to her aid. The mother, in tears, told him that her son had disappeared. The guard's dog sensed something and began scratching the large chest with its paw. Opening it, everyone saw Huck sleeping peacefully.

The watchman gave his mother a letter from his father and the key to his room. He said that they would return in four days. Having moved into my father’s room, everyone began to prepare for the meeting. Four days flew by unnoticed and soon everyone heard the noise of people and dogs approaching the station. The meeting was stormy and joyful, after which everyone gathered around the decorated Christmas tree to celebrate the New Year.

Chuk and Gek

Micro paraphrase: A touching story about how young Muscovites - seven-year-old Chuk and six-year-old Gek - went with their mother to their father, who was on a distant geological expedition. About how they struggled with a cruel winter and all sorts of difficulties, because their father, who went on an urgent mission, did not meet them, but sent a telegram, which the children threw out the window and did not allow their mother to read...

Brothers Chuk and Gek live with their mother in Moscow. My father works in the taiga, near the Blue Mountains. One winter, the postman brings a letter from his father: the geologist cannot come, but invites his family to visit.

The week passes in preparation for a long trip, the mother packs her things, the boys make a dagger and a pike - they prepare for a bear hunt. On the eve of departure, the postman appears again and brings a telegram. So we hide it in our box. There is a fight between the brothers - Chuk broke his brother's pike, and in retaliation he throws a box out the window. Recovering themselves, the boys run downstairs, but do not find the telegrams. The mothers decide not to talk about the postman's visit: they won't have to lie - she won't ask anything.

The boys enjoy traveling on the train. Huck looks out the window more, Chuk gets acquainted with the passengers. Finally they get off at a small station. To their mother’s surprise, no one meets them, and they have to travel another 100 kilometers through the taiga. The mother makes an agreement with the coachman, they go further on the sleigh.

In the evening they stop at a hut-station for the night. The next morning they drive further through the forest and mountains. Only in the evening do they get to the geologists’ base. There are no people visible in the settlement, only the watchman's hut is not locked, but it is empty.

The boys climb onto the warm stove and fall asleep. The watchman who appears is surprised at the guests: Seregin told the family to postpone the trip, he himself carried the telegram to the station. The geologists went into the taiga for two weeks. The mother looks reproachfully at the stove, from where the unanimous cry of the deceivers can be heard.

The watchman is going to go check the traps, this will take two days. The guests will have to host themselves. Just in case, he leaves one gun.

The watchman has been gone for four days now; supplies are running low. Mother and Chuk go to fetch water; the sick Huck is told to wait for them. Upon returning, the mother does not find Huck; it gets dark outside. Taking the gun, the woman goes in search. In the courtyard, she shoots in the air and hears a return shot. The returning guard's dog quickly finds the missing item: Huck is sleeping in the chest - he wanted to play a joke but fell asleep by accident.

The watchman hands over the keys to Seryogin’s house and a letter. Guests are cleaning up and preparing for the New Year. A beautiful Christmas tree is brought from the forest, the boys make toys out of paper.

Soon the geologists return to base. The New Year is celebrated by a large friendly company with the accordion and the chime of the Moscow chimes, which is heard on the radio.
