In the evening, when I fell asleep with a smile on my face, my grandfather looked at us and said to my grandmother, "Don't worry too much, old woman, I let them go for another reason." ”

Grandma spread the quilt and said, "What else do you mean?"

Grandpa said: "You said that we can still watch the children for a lifetime? Sooner or later, you can't walk in front of the children, but now we have seen Yan'er, this child, is really a good daughter-in-law." Si'er has not suffered in vain in this life. The boss will be the backbone of the family in the future, and letting him lead the team is also to give him a chance to be the master of the house, and the good or bad is all up to him, and I also want to test him, and it is also the biggest test for Yan'er. In the future, they will have more opportunities to go out, and we can tie up our children for the rest of their lives? ”

Grandma smiled: "As far as you think a lot, everything you say is reasonable, it's good to go out and see and see, but it's a pity that Si'er can't see anything." ”

Ever since we knew that we were going to travel a long way, my bastard and I began to count the days and look forward to it, and we didn't forget to show off in front of our friends.

Just a few days before we set off, a construction team from outside the mountain road came and began to build a mountain road from the village to Zao Lake, which had to go around half a hill to build to the edge of Zao Lake.

The distance is far away, the road is good, it is convenient to drive, after the road is repaired, a few kilometers of mountain road from the village to the lake can be driven in a maximum of twenty minutes.

Finally set off, a group of seven people, four adults and three children, among which there was a completely disabled adult. The mighty procession went to the train station in the city.

On the first night of leaving, my grandmother took out a stack of money and gave it to Aunt Yan, saying that they should spend it on the road.

Aunt Yan pushed her grandmother's hand to take the money and said, "Mother, I have money, all the bride price money given by our family is here, and my father and mother didn't ask for a penny, so they gave it to me." ”

Grandma still forced the money to Aunt Yan.

My father and I carried a large canvas bag and a backpack, and Aunt Yan also carried a smaller backpack.

The mother is responsible for taking care of her sister, and Aunt Yan is responsible for taking care of her uncle, each with its own responsibilities, and the father is very thoughtful.

My parents are very experienced when they go out, and they buy tickets early and have seats. also asked the third aunt to contact the lame aunt in Zhengzhou in advance, and asked her Chunsheng brother to help buy a sleeper ticket from Zhengzhou to her hometown in Hunan. At that time, tickets could only be bought where to get on the bus, especially for sleepers.

The thought of being able to sleep on the train makes me and my wife excited.

Five of the seven of us were riding the train for the first time, and the most novel was me and the bastard, and the whole carriage was a world where we played, and it was only after several stern warnings from my father that we were honestly quiet.

The four-year-old sister was quiet like a rag doll, and her mother was holding her when she got in and out of the car, until she got to the uncle to sit down, and let the uncle hold her, and her big eyes flickered and looked around.

My sister and I are all children, and we don't have seats, so we can only lean next to adults, and at most we just sit in a squeeze for a while.

At this time, there were not too many people on the train.

When we arrived in Zhengzhou, Aunt Cripple and Chunsheng still picked us up at the station, and it must have been the third aunt who told them the number of trains we had arrived.

The lame aunt said that there were still eight hours before the next train to transfer, so let's go to her shop to rest and eat together. Chunsheng has always said that he can't invite our family, but now that he finally has the opportunity, he has to eat at home.

The lame aunt saw Aunt Yan supporting her uncle, and happily took a bite of her sister-in-law.

Aunt Yan's face turned red when she was shouted, and she already knew the story of the lame aunt.

The dumplings that the lame aunt and her husband made for us that day, the dumpling fillings were all made in advance, and everyone started to do it when they got home, and they soon ate hot dumplings.

The adults talked, the children played, and the eight hours were fast in coming.

The lame aunt and his wife bought the platform ticket and kept sending us on the bus, the car was about to leave before getting off, and said that they must come again when they got off.

Two lower bunks, one middle bunk and one upper bunk. My father asked Aunt Yan and my uncle to go down to the bunk, and Aunt Yan hugged the eggs, and my uncle and I squeezed them; my mother took my sister in the middle bunk, and my father climbed high. The long journey began with the sound of the train' clanging.

The two-night-one-day train life was always new to the kids, and I got off the train just when I didn't think it was enough.

Uncle is not as uncomfortable as grandma worried about along the way, just like his sister is quiet and obedient, can eat and sleep, everything is similar to home.

On the contrary, it was Aunt Yan who didn't eat much and slept well along the way, and her eyes were slightly swollen and blistered because she didn't rest well.

Mother said that she was too worried about her uncle along the way, and she was afraid that her uncle would not eat well or sleep well, so she forced Aunt Yan to go to Zhongpu to make up for sleep during the day.

My uncle came to pick us up, and as soon as we met, he hugged my sister and pulled me, speaking Hunan hometown dialect, most of us couldn't understand it, and my mother translated.

My sister behaved more generously than me, the first time I saw my uncle, I was hugged by my uncle, and I shouted my uncle crisply, and I kissed my uncle three times on my uncle's face, and my happy uncle also kissed my sister hard.

I was a little unfamiliar with the submissiveness, and when I called my uncle, the voice seemed to come out of my throat, and the voice was very small.

My uncle hugged my sister, took my hand, and walked outside talking to my parents.

First, I took a long-distance bus, got off the long-distance bus and started walking on foot.

Grandma's family is really from the mountains, and because of our slow speed, we walked for nearly two hours on the mountain road.

I got off the train and ran around for four hours before I arrived at my grandmother's house.

The mountains of my mother's hometown are much more beautiful than the mountains of my hometown, the mountains are lush and green, the vegetation is so dense that you can't see the color of the mountains at all, and the eyes are full of green, bamboo forests, and trees are very tall.

Along the way, I got a lot closer to my uncle, and my uncle tried his best to communicate with us in half-baked Mandarin.

Walking on the narrow mountain road, we walked slowly, and my mother introduced the customs of her hometown and her own childhood along the way.

Yan Gu's backpack was carried by her uncle, and she carefully held her uncle, who was moving forward steadily with a jujube cane in his right hand, and encountered potholes. Under the instructions of Yan Gu, you can also walk safely.

While talking, I came to the home where my mother was born and raised.

Grandma's village is much smaller than ours, dozens of families are scattered on this piece of land, behind which is the verdant mountains, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are like a paradise, which makes people forget to return.

My grandmother's family had been waiting for a long time, and when my mother saw my grandparents, she cried and called my parents in my hometown, and then hugged my grandmother and sobbed.

Father and grandfather greeted each other and called out to Dad.

When my mother finished crying and parting, she hurriedly introduced us, my grandfather hugged me, my grandmother hugged my sister, and happily let my uncle, Aunt Yan, and the bastard sit down to rest, and everyone sat down to talk about family life.

My grandmother's house was built of wood from local materials, unlike my hometown, which was built of stone and red brick, and the wooden house was spacious and tall.

Since my uncle was about to get married, he was cleaned clean and neat from the inside out, and he almost pasted it with the red word "big joy".

The bastard and I curiously observed all sorts of rare objects that we hadn't seen before.

My mother translated the words of my grandfather and grandmother from time to time, and the family had endless parting feelings.

My aunt hadn't arrived home yet, and my grandmother said she would be back in a day or two.

Everyone was telling about the parting feelings that they hadn't seen for many years, and a heroic girl came outside the fence courtyard, shouting through the fence wall: "Second aunt, you are back." ”

The girl who came in was not tall, a little lower than Aunt Yan, but her body was filled with a man-like masculinity, broad shoulders, a sturdy figure, a woman's slender body was covered up a lot, with short hair that reached her ears, her skin was not dark and ruddy, and she had a pair of big talking eyes, she was the kind of girl who was good-looking.

Walking is also like flying, the voice has not fallen The person has already stood in front of his mother, speaking in a crisp voice, standing there, revealing shrewdness and ability.

The mother had already stood up, took the girl's hand and said, "Xiaoru, do you miss your second aunt?"

When I saw the hands of this girl named Xiaoru, I wondered: people are not ugly, but these hands are too ugly. I saw that the back of her hand was very black, and the joints of her fingers were covered in thick calluses, and even glowed black.

Xiaoru said: "And said that, you haven't come back for so long, do you want me?"

The mother smiled and introduced to everyone: "This is Xiaoru, the daughter of my eldest cousin, who has been closest to me since she was a child, and now she has become a big girl." ”

After speaking, I introduced my father, uncle, and Aunt Yan one by one, and when I talked about it, I said, "First year of junior high school, come here, call my sister." ”

I called Sister Xiaoru generously this time, and she was happy like a child, saying, "It's called the first year of junior high school, it sounds good." With that, he pulled me in front of her.

Pointing to the sister in my grandmother's arms, I said that this is Dandan, it is your sister. The younger sister didn't wait for her mother to let her shout, so she shouted loudly to her sister. Sister Xiaoru agreed loudly.

Finally, when it came to the bastard, he said: "This is your aunt's younger brother, you should call it uncle, this is the younger generation." ”

Sister Xiaoru smiled and didn't call. The bastard lowered his head in embarrassment.
