Before I got to the door, I heard my mother scolding my father vigorously: "What do you say you can do? ”

Don't look at my mother's frailty, but when I scolded my father, it was definitely Mu Guiying alive, a full heroine among women.

Not to be outdone, Dad replied: "If you lose it, you will lose it later, you can throw it away when you are such a big person? If he is really caught and sold to be a son-in-law as a coolie, it is best for him to save him from being a bachelor for the rest of his life. ”

Liu Qingshan: ......

Why didn't I look at the yellow calendar when I went home today?

Isn't it time to go home today?

I'm only twenty-four years old, so why have I been called a bachelor one after another?

If you want to talk about singles, isn't the second uncle of the second grandfather's family a single? There are a lot of singles in the village who have not married a daughter-in-law, why have two people in a row called me a bachelor before I have returned home?

Liu Qingshan appeared in the courtyard with a black face.

When my father saw him, he didn't feel the slightest guilt, but like a victorious general, he said proudly to his mother: "Do you see it?" ”

The mother felt sorry for her son, and hurriedly walked over: "Qingshan, did you fall?"

Liu Qingshan walked into the house next to his mother and comforted: "Mom, it's okay, I'm such a strong person, I can't break it." ”

"I'll just say, it's not a mud doll, how can it be so fragile. ”

"Shut up, you can die if you don't say a few words?" said to my mother angrily to my father, "You pluck the chicken feathers clean, don't wait until it's time to eat, your mouth is full of chicken feathers." ”

"You're so clean, then you can pull it out. ”

"I'll pluck chicken feathers, then you go to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables." You go to the vegetable garden and water the vegetables, and I will kill the chickens. However, you should water the vegetables three times, and don't make it look like a chicken peeing every time. ”

As soon as he heard that he had to water the vegetable garden three times, his father immediately closed his mouth and obediently plucked chicken feathers.

This is Liu Qingshan's house. The family is not rich, the house is an old house, there is no big furniture in the house, and the parents have to quarrel several times a day, from morning to night.

I still remember that when the second grandfather's family lived in the mud brick house below before they built a new house, they said: "Oh, you two, you two quarrel every day before dawn, can't you rest for a day?"

If the parents don't quarrel one day, the sun will really come out of the west.

However, despite this, although everything is very poor and backward, Liu Qingshan still loves this home, his parents, this old house that shelters them from the wind and rain, and also loves every grass, tree, brick and tile in the family.

Liu Qingshan took his luggage to his small room, and after a while, the room of less than ten square meters was full of things.

My mother came in with a bowl of hot oil tea, and when she saw that things were thrown everywhere, she couldn't help but say: "Look at you, you are such a big person, and you don't know how to clean up things, if anyone marries you in the future, they will definitely quarrel every day like me and your father." ”

Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Mom, don't come to inquire about the news, I'll come back now, not because I found a partner, let alone because I'm getting married, but because I quit my job at the construction site." ”

When my mother heard this, she immediately picked up the hot tea that had just been placed on the table, turned her head and left: "Then you can clean up later, and then come out to drink tea." ”

Liu Qingshan couldn't laugh or cry.

I'm twenty-four years old.

Yes, the cousin with the same surname in the village married his son when he was sixteen years old, became a father at the age of seventeen, and now the two babies are about to enter elementary school.

However, not everyone has the ability to do it.

Every time Liu Qingshan came home, his mother would repeat the story of his cousin's 'inspiring life' over and over again.

This time, without waiting for his mother to speak, he broke his mother's fantasy first.

However, it is understandable that parents want to hold their grandchildren as soon as possible, after all, this is a common problem for parents across the country.

At dinner, my mother told the story of my cousin again: "Yesterday I saw his two children, both of whom were almost as tall as my waist. ”

Liu Qingshan ate the chicken leg and replied: "You are not tall, five or six-year-old children are as tall as your waist, isn't it normal?"

The old mother glared at him: "Look at the people, they are younger than you, they have two children, and both children are about to enter elementary school, you have no heart all day long, and you don't know how to find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that I can hold my grandson with your father as soon as possible." ”

"Mom, it's okay to eat well, can you stop saying this every time. ”

"No, you're twenty-four years old, and you haven't even talked about a girlfriend, do you think you're ashamed?"

"What's so embarrassing about this, the second uncle of the second grandfather's family is in his forties, and he still beats a single. ”

"You, you, you are not better than good, you are better than bad. ”

When Liu Qingshan heard this, he smiled and said, "So, you mean that the second uncle is bad." ”

My mother was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I didn't say that." ”

"You just said that. ”

"Eat your meal. Mom snorted angrily and gave him another big chicken leg, and then gave the chicken butt to Dad.

Dad didn't dislike it, picked up the chicken butt in the bowl, and ate it with relish.

Today happens to be a frost fall.

Frost is not a festival, and the reason why the family kills chickens is nothing more than to replenish their son's body.

At night, when the old couple was lying on the bed, the old mother muttered in a low voice: "Dad, you say, why did Qingshan come back so early? In previous years, he didn't come back until the Chinese New Year." ”

"How do I know?" Dad tugged at the quilt, "Not to mention, it's a little cold at night." ”

"This kid, could it be that he is in trouble outside?" The old mother dragged the corner of the quilt, pressed it with her body, and pulled the quilt to her side.

"Oh, don't you always grab the quilt, okay? Also, the child is so old, what are you worried about him doing?"

The old mother snorted: "If you don't worry about your own children, can others worry about you for you?" Hmph, other people's wives, you still often worry about it, your own son, you don't worry about it." ”

"Talking nonsense, you will talk nonsense, when did I worry about other people's wives?"

"Heh, don't think I don't know, the good things you did with those women in the mountains a few days ago!"

"What did I do?"

"You know it in your own heart. ”

Liu Qingshan turned over helplessly, thinking to himself, if he has money in the future, he must renovate the house and make the sound insulation better, otherwise, the old couple will even have to sleep and quarrel, which is really unbearable.

Before dawn, the parents began to quarrel again.

"Oh my God, you've been up for so long, why haven't you even heated the water?" the old mother opened the lid of the pot and felt that the water in the pot was still cold, and she still kept reprimanding.

"You're so capable, why don't you get up and boil water?" replied Dad angrily.

"Didn't I boil it in the past? You just got up today to boil water, and see what you can." ”

"What today, the day before yesterday was also the water I boiled. ”

"That's good, in the future, I will get up every day to boil water, and you will be responsible for cooking and washing dishes. ”

As soon as the mother said this, the old couple immediately quarreled about who should get up to boil water and who should make breakfast, and in the end, it rose smoothly to who should support the family and who should conceive and give birth to a baby.

Liu Qingshan appeared at the door of the kitchen with two dark circles under his eyes.

The kitchen door was next to the main door, and the two heavy wooden doors had opened inward, and there was only a little light outside the courtyard, and only the outline of the mountain and the overlapping shadows of the trees could be roughly seen.

Seeing that her son actually got up so early, the mother asked with some joy: "Ha, Qingshan, you got up so early." ”

Dad also looked like he saw the sun rising in the west, and said with a little mockery: "I can't see that you can get up so early." ”

Liu Qingshan sat down speechlessly, stared at the flames that kept jumping in the dim light, yawned and said, "You two keep arguing early in the morning, can I not get up early?"

My mother laughed and said, "It's good to get up early, get up early, and you can drink the hot tea that has just come out of the pot." ”

As he spoke, he pushed his father: "You go to the vegetable field to get some green onions and come back." ”

Dad refused: "It's so dark, why don't you go?"

Liu Qingshan stood up: "Oh, don't make any noise, let's go." ”

With that, Liu Qingshan went out and walked down the ramp.

The dim morning light is like a kitten that has not woken up, lazily shrouded the village.

The rushing stream, after tossing all night, was still full of vitality and ran forward.
