The 12th round
Luo Qingyu lay on the narrow bed gently, trying to remember what his grandfather looked like.
Her grandfather's house was too far away, and her parents didn't take her and her brother with them much, about two or three times. The old man's kind face was particularly blurred, and he was not deeply impressed when she died when she was 5 years old.
He had been living in the city with his two uncles, and recently it was rumored that he was going to expropriate land in the countryside, and for fear of missing out on the good news, the old man temporarily moved back to live for a while.
It's a pity, rumors are rumors after all, and they can't be true.
She remembered that until her death, her grandfather's land had not been expropriated, and every rumor was empty and joyful.
Why did she remember this?
Because the two uncles and aunts complained a lot, they often complained when they talked to Gu Ning on the phone, and Gu Ning often talked about it when she was nagging with her husband and children.
In addition, my mother has no house or land in her mother's house, and whether she is levied or not has nothing to do with the Luo family. The married daughter had no right to interfere with her mother's property, which was a common practice in the social environment of the time.
In those years, the villages near my mother's house were demolished and developed one after another, and many families became rich overnight, and many people were envious and jealous.
Only Daguzhuang seems to have been forgotten by everyone, the old houses are dilapidated, and the left-behind elderly and children are also decreasing; hundreds of acres of cultivated land have been emptied, deserted, and there are no people in the barren mountains and mountains, how can we not teach people to regret?
But there is no way, the villagers are expecting to get rich overnight, and the relevant departments are not stupid. The remote villages, which have no character, are of little use and have few inhabitants, can be reclaimed for nothing when they are emptied.
Each has its own calculations, and they all want to take advantage.
Whether it's true or not, alas, who knows.
......
In July, it had just finished raining, the weather was clear, and the wind was cool.
The wind blowing in the city will make passers-by dusty, and they can't help it. The wind in the countryside is different, it is cool and cool, and it is very comfortable to blow on the little face.
Grandpa Gu's father was tall, but his body was thin and fleshless, unlike those arrogant old men who died in the bus. He was gentle and kind, and when he was alone, his face was expressionless, and he smiled when he saw his daughter and grandchildren.
"Yo yo, our Qingqing turned out to be a chubby girl. The old man pinched his granddaughter's little face and teased.
When I first saw my grandfather, Luo Qingyu was not a real child, he was not afraid of life, so he pinched his face, his delicate little brows were tangled, and he defended in a milky voice:
"Grandpa, I'm not fat, call baby fat ......"
"Don't explain, everyone says you're fat, you're fat, little fat girl!" Luo Tianyou, who was tall and thin, looked at her condescendingly and said, "Don't eat meat tonight!"
"I want you to take care of it. The little girl choked back, looking sullen.
Since she was able to eat, she never picked what her parents did, so she was fat, shouldn't she?
Well, that's it.
The two children were energetic, and the old man next to them was always happy, and the smile on his face never stopped.
"A-Ning, your girl is well-raised, and she is not afraid of life. "I have the demeanor of my daughter when she was a child.
Gu Ning sneered, dragged her luggage into the yard with her little sister, and teased: "What is she afraid of?" she is only afraid of ...... "She is only afraid of seeing others die."
I was very happy to see my father in good health. But when it came to the weirdness of her daughter, she choked.
"She's afraid to see someone die. Seeing that the second sister didn't say anything halfway, Gu Wanting blurted out, "Dad, Qingqing can see other people's deaths, isn't it?"
Contrary to Gu Ning's anxiety, for her, the little niece's skills are very interesting.
"Ah Ting!" Gu Ning glared at her.
Telling the father is a must, but to avoid the child, who knows that the little sister turned around and forgot.
Gu Wanting grinned and hurriedly dragged her luggage back to her room.
"Alright, let's go inside. Father Gu took his little granddaughter's hand and urged.
"Dad, I'll tell you about this later. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I've already fried the dishes, let's eat first. ”
The small courtyard of the Gu family is very old, with low walls and a few mud bungalows.
In the middle of the main house is the living room, and there is a small room on the left and right sides, which are lived by Gu's father and Gu's mother. When Gu's mother was sick, the couple began to live in separate rooms.
My grandmother died, and the room was empty.
Daddy Gu still lives in his own room, and there are three rooms next to the main house, one for each of his two sons and one for his two daughters.
Now, Gu Ning takes the two children home, and Gu's father vacates his wife's empty room for his grandchildren to live in, and his son-in-law will live in his sons' room if he comes.
There is no way, the family is too small and in disrepair, so I will live there.
As for the two sons, they now have a home in the city and rarely return to the village. Even if they come back, they don't stay overnight, and the two daughters-in-law are not used to living, and they come and go in a hurry every time.
The empty house that is not popular will become more and more old and decayed, so it is better to vacate it for the son-in-law to live.
The adults and children took the train for most of the day, and it was noon when they returned to the village, but fortunately the meal was ready-made, and everyone had a good meal together.
Although Gu Dad's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the chefs outside, it is better than having a homely taste.
A pot of local chicken soup with mountain mushrooms, a stir-fried wild mushroom with cauliflower and a plate of home-grown oily green vegetables, especially appetizing.
The chickens are home-raised, and the work in the field is not heavy, so they grow some side dishes and eat them themselves. Gu Dad is idle and bored at home alone, and usually relies on this little work to pass the time.
He walked around the village on foot every day, talked to his peers, and lived a peaceful and comfortable life.
After eating, Aunt Gu Wanting took Xiaoyou and Qingqing to wander around the village to see if they could meet their childhood playmates.
Gu Ning and Gu Dad sat in the courtyard and told her and her little sister about their lives in Xihuan City, including the purpose of coming back this time.
Adults have adult affairs, and children have children's pleasures, even if one of them is born again.
Returning to the countryside, Luo Qingyu's mood was very happy, not as repulsive as his eldest brother. Because the house has been uninhabited for a long time, there is no TV and no Internet, only an old-fashioned radio is babbling and singing, which is annoying.
This kind of feeling cannot be experienced by real children.
Following the aunt all the way to look left and right, Luo Qingyu asked curiously about this and that.
"It's noisy, Qingqing, can you shut up?" Luo Tianyou looked very impatient.
Luo Qingyu turned around and gave him a grimace and stuck out his tongue, "Slightly ......"
The elder brother glanced at her, "Auntie, when are we going back?"
Poof, Gu Wanting almost burst out laughing, "You want to go back just now?" Xiaoyou, you don't like your grandfather's house?"
"I don't like the countryside. It has nothing to do with the old man, he said, purssing the corners of his lips.
"Early, you, Mom is going to stay for ten days. ”
Ten days, the boy looked up at the sky and sighed silently......
Fortunately, early the next morning, the two uncles and aunts also came back with their children, and my grandfather urged them to go back last night.
The adults had something to discuss, and Luo Tianyou went out with his cousins. They are all the same age, and the teenager's mood is finally better.
"Qingqing, you go to play with your brother and sisters. Gu Ning coaxed her little daughter.
Mom wants to negotiate with her brothers, how can Luo Qingyu leave?
"Don't go. ”
He used his hands and feet like a koala, and hugged his mother's thigh and didn't let go. Even if my mother couldn't fight for any land in her previous life, she couldn't let my mother face it alone.
Although she is young and can't do anything, at least she can witness the process of her mother's grievances, and she will have the opportunity to repay it in the future.
She has no other pursuits in this life, she just hopes that her family will always be good and not let her parents be wronged.
