When the grandparents sent their sisters away, they told the two of them like this: "Let's sum it up in our family, and the other conditions are easy to say, that is, let Si'er write and make money and let them discuss it again, no one can figure out whether Si'er really has this ability, and we don't have a solid heart to make money by this, right? You go back and talk to her family well, okay? Let's contact again in a few days." ”

The two sisters went out far away, and the godsister looked back and felt that the grandmother couldn't hear it, so she said to the sixth grandmother: "The family is brainless." The sixth grandmother didn't answer.

In the evening, the family carefully analyzed the things of the day, and the father spoke first: "I don't have any opinion on the bride price, building a house, and separating the family, not far away is still a family, I don't agree with the motorcycle, a woman is still one eye, it takes two hours to go back to her house, and she has to run with Si'er, who can rest assured on this way? Everyone also collects money, why do you treat Si'er as a cash cow? I'll say it first, father, mother, this matter will never be agreed to at that time, so why will our family still be in the village in the future? ”

Grandpa said: "The motorcycle is quite reluctant, when the time comes, we can not let Si'er run back and forth, even the last one I don't agree." Let's see what people say first, it really doesn't make sense, forget it. Then give Si'er another touch. ”

The building of the house did not stop, while the materials were pulling, the old house began to be demolished, and my parents and sister went to the cannery to make do with a room, and the four of us squeezed into Grandpa Zhang's house. When Grandpa Zhang saw that he was also about to build a house for him, he took out two passbooks and a small cloth bag, handed them to his grandfather and said, "My money is here, not much, so I can also contribute." ”

Grandpa stuffed the passbook and cloth bag into Grandpa Zhang's pocket and said, "Uncle, you put these away, don't let the rats gnaw them." You don't have to worry about the money, it's all a family, what's polite, you can use this money for the elderly, and you are not allowed to take it out again. ”

It wasn't until most of the new house was built that the sixth grandmother came over to talk to grandma: "The woman's family is very stubborn, and she didn't persuade her, and your family won't let go." When grandma heard this, it was expected, and said with a smile: "His sixth aunt, she is not the only girl in the world, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to find another good one for Si'er." ”

The sixth grandmother's mouth was crooked with a smile: "This matter is wrapped up in me, even if I go all over our province, I want to say one to Xiaosi." ”

Uncle's 'first love' ended hastily.

The next year, the one-eyed one really married a healthy older young man near us, and slowly the news reached the ears of my grandmother: the woman had no autonomy at home at all, and her mother covered the sky with her mother, and it was not the woman who fell in love with the uncle at the beginning, but her own mother. Because the uncle is very famous in the neighborhood, she thinks that the uncle must be able to earn a lot of money by writing, so she encourages her daughter to agree to this family business, and she can also get a part of it in the future, and the purpose of separating the family is to be afraid that her father will also benefit from it. Including the motorcycle, she also wanted to ask for her son, where was it convenient for her daughter to ride home, and her daughter had never even touched the motorcycle at that time.

Grandma broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and suddenly remembered what her mother had said about her uncle's crutches on the ground, and thought: Is it really Si'er who wants to express his own opinion?

The second aunt received a letter from the third aunt and learned about the family's house, and then sent some money. The third aunt personally sent the money back, and she was still shouting to leave a big room for her, and the grandmother scolded her with a smile: "You are mixed up, Sanya, the water spilled by the married girl, doesn't it become that you have to come back if you leave a room?"

Who would have thought that grandma's words this time would also be fulfilled in the third aunt?

The new house was finally built, and the house base allocated to my father in the village remained unchanged. The houses were all built on the original basis, but they were replaced with red brick walls, cement prefabricated roofs, cement plastered floors, and the windows were opened a little wider, and the house was obviously much more spacious and bright, as was Grandpa Zhang's house. The floor of the yard was re-paved with a layer of soil and tamped, and it was much harder.

The old furniture in the new house, grandma was reluctant to throw away the previous furniture, and the house was still built on the kang. There is still a fire kang in the uncle's house.

The double bed I bought for my uncle, and my uncle lay on it for a few minutes and then didn't want to go up to sleep anymore, so he had no choice but to withdraw the bed and replace it with a fire kang.

My father promised my mother to change the furniture, and this time I got my wish. I was still a free man, and I slept there if I wanted to, and when the new house was just completed, I slept from room to room with curiosity, and then I was fixed in my uncle's room.

My sister is very quiet, well-behaved people are loved, she is lying motionless in addition to sleeping in the uncle's arms, never touching and pinching everywhere on the uncle's face and body like me, just flashing her big eyes, and often watching and watching by herself.

Grandma said that the personalities of the two sisters are one in the sky and one in the ground, and the ones who love to move are upside down and naughty and boundless;

At breakfast that day, my father said to my mother: "The village chief informed the city leaders to inspect our village today, and they will go to our factory to have a look, you can take out my new set of work clothes for me. ”

While feeding her sister, the mother said: "I saw the notice yesterday, I just took out your clothes and put them on the bed, you receive the leader like a customer, smile warmly, and answer what the leader asks. ”

It was almost lunchtime, and Grandma was busy preparing in the stove, and Grandpa was cleaning up some bits and pieces left over from building a house in the yard, and the village chief took a group of people into the yard.

The village chief gestured to invite the people behind him to come in, while shouting Grandpa's name. Grandpa heard this, looked up and saw so many people, and hurriedly dropped what he was holding and greeted him.

Without waiting for grandpa to speak, a tall, polite middle-aged man in the lead greeted first: "Fellow, where are you at home?"

After the village chief waited for the visitor to ask, he immediately introduced and said: "This is our newly appointed Mayor Chen, who came to our village to inspect today, and by the way, I also came to see the villagers." ”

Grandpa stretched out his hand a little embarrassed and shook the mayor's hand, and said, "Welcome leader, welcome leader." He hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Mayor Chen was neatly dressed, gentle, and his eyes were like torches, he saw what his grandfather meant, and said with a smile: "Fellow, don't get in the way, my hands are also hands that have done farm work, and I am not afraid of getting dirty." ”

After speaking, he held his grandfather's thick hands that were full of calluses.

I was playing with my sister next to my uncle, and I noticed my uncle's strange movements and expressions when they were still at the door and didn't enter the yard.

When the uncle was still outside, he turned his head to the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly there was a look of surprise on his face that I had never seen before, and the change was obvious, his eyes seemed to widen a lot, and his closed lips opened slightly, as if he had seen some amazing sight. He sat up straight. When the group entered the courtyard, the 'eyes' kept following the person called Mayor Chen, and did not leave for a moment.

I saw this series of changes clearly, and I followed my uncle's 'gaze' to stay on Mayor Chen for a few seconds, and then looked at my uncle's strange demeanor.

After Mayor Chen shook his grandfather's hand, his gaze quickly turned to the uncle's side, not like the normal glance that fell on the uncle, he should have seen it directly, as if he knew that someone was staring at him there.

I can confirm that no one but all of me present noticed that shocking glance! yes, a shocking glimpse of lightning!

The eyes of the two men met in the air, and I seemed to see the two gazes collide and emit a fiery flash.

Uncle Xiao and Mayor Chen were both extremely short-lived, and they looked at them casually in the eyes of others, and then everything went on as usual. After the uncle finished looking at each other, he slowly recovered little by little.

Mayor Chen's smile did not pause in surprise at all, and after glancing at each other, he quickly turned his head, and the smile on his face became more approachable.

Grandpa politely let the group into the house.

From the time they entered the courtyard to the time they entered the house, it was less than two minutes, but the strange changes that occurred on my uncle's face and body in these 100 seconds and Mayor Chen's face were deeply imprinted in my mind. And for many years after that, I have never seen such a surprise and behavior of the uncle, and this is the first time that the uncle has taken the initiative to 'see' people with a goal!

My eyes looked at my uncle's expression for a while, and Mayor Chen's movements for a while, and I felt that my eyes were not enough. When everyone entered the house, I was still looking in the direction of the house, not knowing what I was looking at.

They didn't stay long, they came out in ten minutes, Mayor Chen said goodbye, walked out, walked out to the gate of the courtyard and waved to the uncle with a special smile. The uncle didn't respond to any movements, and returned to his former calmness.

The leader left, and the village chief returned. The village chief said: The leader was originally to come to see the construction and enterprise of our village, and did not arrange a visit to the farmers, but the leader temporarily wanted to see the villagers, I think your family has just built a new house, and the face is good-looking, so I led it, but fortunately, nothing went wrong, the leader was happy to leave, and did not mention any opinions.
