The next morning, before dawn, Zhang He's grandparents and aunts all got up, and Zhang He's mother arrived at his mother's side before 6 o'clock and began to prepare breakfast for the whole family.

"What time is it? Why haven't you come yet, Liling went to the door to take a look. Grandma Zhang He, who has always felt that she can't sit still, no matter what happens, glanced at the table bell that had just rang six times, and urged with displeasure on her face.

"Mom, don't worry. Isn't it only six o'clock?" Aunt Zhang He said while tidying up the room and glancing at the table clock.

"Say 6 o'clock, it's all over. Your sisters don't know what to do at home?" the old lady said with a blank look out the window.

"Oh Mom, you sit here first and drink saliva with my dad. The aunt frowned and pressed her mother to the stool next to the table, poured water for her mother, and comforted her mother: "Didn't I help you clean up last night? After a while, when my sister and the others come, we can leave early after eating, and we will definitely miss the car. Hey, isn't this coming?"

While he was talking, Zhang He's aunt, third aunt, and fourth aunt laughed and led the two cousins who were one year younger than Zhang He into the hospital.

The old lady looked back, and sure enough, her daughters had arrived. So he immediately turned his head back, as if he was even more angry, and took a sip of water from the teacup on the table with a gloomy face. When the daughters were all in the house, he angrily scolded them, "What time is this?

"We met at the door, isn't this just..."Before the aunt finished speaking, Zhang He's third aunt Zhang Lifen squinted, and while putting Jia Yi in her arms on the bed, she said angrily: "Okay, you, our Jia Yi didn't want to come." Before I woke up, I was able to carry it out. Isn't Baby still asleep?"

"Don't come if you don't want to come!" Zhang He, who had already woken up before the clock was ticking, but had been staring at the wall in the bed in a daze, immediately whispered when he heard this.

"What are you talking about?" said the third aunt angrily to Zhang He, who had her back to her.

"I said..."Zhang He sat up suddenly, and was about to have a seizure, but suddenly saw his mother walking in from outside the door with a bowl in one hand, so he suppressed the fire again, and put on his clothes with a gloomy face without saying a word.

"Your brother is up, why don't you go and lie down next to your brother for a while?" said Zhang Liqin, an aunt sitting on the sofa outside, turning her head to her son Wu Xin on her lap.

"Mom, I'm not sleepy. Wu Xin replied.

"Hey, you kid, you got up before 5 o'clock, and you're in good spirits. Aren't you sleepy?" said the aunt as she smiled and glanced at her parents.

"Wu Xin come here, are you hungry so early?" come, grandma will bring you a piece of snack," the old lady greeted Wu Xin as she stood up and held the snack box to the table.

"Go, pick a piece, this is what my mother bought for grandma, it's good. The aunt smiled at her son Wu Xin.

"Yo, eldest sister bought it? How much does it cost?" Zhang Liqing, the fourth aunt of Zhang He, who has a round figure and loves to be top-notch like her eldest sister, and is a bus conductor by profession, sat on the sofa inside, pretending to be surprised and smiled at the other sisters.

Wu Xin glanced at the fourth aunt, then got off the ground, walked to the table, picked a pastry with jam from the snack box, and then sat back on his mother's lap and ate it.

"Come, sit here, eat, and drink hot porridge. Grandma Zhang He said.

"Grandma, I don't like to drink porridge. Wu Xin said.

"Mom, get me a piece too. I also want Wu Xin's kind of thing. Jia Yi on the bed also suddenly got up, looked at the snack box on the table and said,

"Come and pick which piece you want, and take which piece you want. How can you eat in bed? In a while, the bed is full of slag. The old lady smiled and motioned for Jia Yi to get off the ground.

"Hmph, I'm not eating. Jia Yi puffed up and lay back in the bed.

"If you like to eat or not, Mom, you don't care about him. The third aunt said.

"Oh, don't give it to Jia Yi. I'll eat it!" "Aunt Zhang Liling took out a cake from the snack box and teased Jia Yi.

"I'll come along, too. What about Beibei? Beibei also came over and picked a piece. The fourth aunt Zhang Liqing also got up and walked over from the sofa inside, looking for Zhang He as she spoke. But unexpectedly, he screamed twice in a row, and he didn't get a response from Zhang He, so he took a piece of pastry and turned around and walked into the back room, only to find that Zhang He had been lying on the bed in the back room at some point, so he asked him: "Beibei, what are you hiding here?"

Without waiting for Zhang He to reply, Aunt Zhang Liling interjected: "What about Bei Bei's illness in the past two days? ”

"Yo, what's wrong with you, why don't you ignore my aunt?" asked the fourth aunt as she turned on the light in the back room. Then he walked to the side of the bed and stretched out his hand to shake Zhang He and said, "Why are you falling asleep again?" Seeing that Zhang He still didn't speak, the fourth aunt asked again: "Hey, are you asleep again? Or are you pretending?" Why don't you speak?"

"The fourth sister should ignore him, she must be angry. Hurry up and have a drink of porridge, it's time to leave in a moment. Eldest sister, third sister, you also hurry over and have a bite, and you are the second sister. ”

Hearing this, Grandpa Zhang He hurriedly got up to make room for his daughters, and then quietly walked into the back room, bent down and whispered to Zhang He's ear with his mouth, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you pay attention to anyone? Haven't you always loved to stick to your fourth aunt?"

Yes, if you want to say which aunt Zhang He was closest to when he was a child? It must be his fourth aunt and his younger aunt. This is not only because these two aunts were twenty when Zhang He was born, and the other was only fifteen, and they are not like two generations at all in terms of age, so they can completely let Zhang He talk and laugh with them. And more importantly, they really hurt him at that time.

Zhang He still remembers that when he was a child, once the whole family was eating lunch, and he took the urinal to the yard to pull the smell, and when he was finished, he didn't call grandma or mother, but called his fourth aunt to wipe his buttocks, and his fourth aunt really came happily.

And his aunt takes him with her every time she goes on a date with her boyfriend, and even puts him in the middle when she goes to the movies together. Even if this invisibly turned Xiao Zhang He into a "little policeman", as long as he found out that his uncle's hand was about to pull his aunt's hand, he would immediately stop it, and let his aunt's boyfriend taste the "bitterness". But his aunt was very happy about it, and still took him with her every time. And the reason is that "my niece's mother is sick and my father doesn't care, and I don't want him to stay at home alone."

What Zhang He remembers even more vividly is that for the first time in his life, when he was promoted to the fifth grade with the first grade in Chinese, mathematics and English, his fourth aunt gave him a copper revolver gun that was difficult to buy at that time as a reward, and his aunt gave him a quarter of his salary to invite him to eat KFC for the first time in his life.

You may think that a toy gun and a meal of KFC are not unusual, but don't forget, as Zhang He, who couldn't even buy a dime a foreign painting when he was a child, how much friendship these two surprises will carve in his heart!

But good things are always fleeting. With the passage of time and the baptism of the social tide, these two aunts have finally "become another person", they will no longer care about Zhang He's so-called pain, they only care about whether they can be rich.

Although the previous life was not this life, how could Zhang He, who had just come back for less than a week, let go of all the things in his previous life and accept them "before" without any burden? Therefore, at this moment, he had to turn his head and say to his grandfather: "I'm fine, it's just a little troublesome." ”

The old man pouted his head and said with a smile: "Get up, say hello to your aunt and them, eat something and we'll leave in a while." ”

Zhang He sat up obediently, then took his grandfather's hand to the ground, and came out of the back room to greet the four aunts: "Auntie early, third aunt early, fourth aunt early, little aunt early." ”

Seeing that Zhang He finally spoke to herself, her aunt couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and immediately said aggrievedly: "Hmph, didn't you ignore me?"

"It must have been when I was away, you recruited us, didn't you Beibei?" the fourth aunt picked up Zhang He, rubbed his face affectionately and smiled.

"You asked him if I recruited him? I bought him a bag of biscuits the day before yesterday. The aunt innocently defended her fourth sister.

"What biscuits, I eat too. Jia Yi got up again and asked this side.

"Auntie, I want it too. Wu Xin also responded.

"Come, come here, and soak a few pieces of porridge for you. The aunt happily beckoned to her three nephews, took out the unopened animal biscuits from the glass sliding door of the high and low cabinets, tore open the bag and put five or six pieces in each of the three small porridge bowls.

"You guys hurry up, we should leave in a moment. Aunt Zhang Liqin said to the little brother with a bowl of porridge while making room for her nephews.

"Mom, is there anything else in this box besides these six jars of honey and a box of snacks?" Aunt Zhang He, who is a salesperson in a department store, put down the porridge bowl and walked to the cardboard box she packed by herself last night, and asked her mother while looking at the bag of apples that her eldest sister Zhang Liqin brought this morning.

"What else do you bring! gave it to my grandmother, and they all had to be eaten by Li Hui and the two of them. The third aunt Zhang Lifen glanced at her parents and said to her sister in an unkind tone.

"Cousin, the two of them have been serving their grandparents and grandparents, and they have no merit but also work! I think they are very filial, even if they eat, they will not be without grandpa and grandma. Zhang He's mother counted the things she was going to take away for a while, and casually took her sister's words.

"Do you look at people? Dare not buy it, just pick it up. When the third aunt heard this, she immediately gave her second sister a sentence.

"That is, Li Hui followed my grandma when he was a child, and my grandma gave them everything good, and they took advantage of it. The fourth aunt Zhang Liqing also said with a bad expression.

"Okay, whoever eats it! It's all our filial piety. Dad, look at how good the apples I bought, they are so valuable! Why don't you keep them with my mom and eat them. Aunt Zhang Liqin said as she took out an apple from her pocket.

"Do you want to leave the two?" Grandma Zhang He, who had never had any opinions, walked to the side of her eldest daughter, took the apple and asked Grandpa Zhang He.

"Take them all. Grandpa Zhang He, who was sitting on the sofa and staring at the three grandsons eating breakfast, said coldly without moving his eyes.

"Beibei, why are you putting so many newspapers?" Zhang's mother took out her schoolbag from the back room, only to find that the bag was stuffed into a pile of newspapers by her son at some point, so she asked Zhang He, who was drinking porridge, suspiciously.

"There's nothing to do on the road, you teach me to read." Zhang He replied casually.

"Why don't you bring a dictionary, why do you bring so many newspapers?" Zhang's mother was puzzled.

"Everywhere in the dictionary and the newspaper?" Zhang He said, turning his head.

"Hey, I haven't told you yet? This Bei Bei can write a lot of words now, and she is very good at arithmetic, and she said yesterday that she was going to sing a play for me and your father!"

"He's all in school, can't he read and write, what's the matter?" said the third aunt disdainfully.

When the aunt heard this, she smiled and looked at her third sister, but she didn't speak.

"I think he must have copied it somewhere, and he probably didn't write it. Because Zhang He ignored him last night, he didn't see Zhang He's aunt who memorized poems and wrote with his own eyes, and deliberately looked at Zhang He with the method of agitation and said. Then she reached out to pull the drawer in front of Wu Xin, wanting to take out the letter that her mother showed her last night for her sisters to see.

"There's no time! look, it's almost half past six, we have to go. Zhang He pressed the drawer with his hand and looked at the clock with a frown.

"Yo! No, hurry up, you won't be able to catch the car in a while. Grandma Zhang He glanced at the clock, and immediately got up and urged everyone.

So, everyone also began to take action, should clean up the dishes and chopsticks, should pick up (di) things to pick up things, should hold the child to hold the child, should lock the door of the lock door, not long after the time they came out of the courtyard one after another, got on the bus not far from home to Yongdingmen Railway Station, arrived at the train station before 7 o'clock.

Sitting on this long-lost green train, Zhang He couldn't help but be a little stunned. In a trance, he seemed to see himself again at that time, sometimes in order to cooperate with the "thrift" of adults, he pouted and reluctantly followed his aunt's "wandering" in one carriage after another, and sometimes was forced by adults to "hide" under the seats of the carriage with his younger brothers to make up for sleep and rest. The pair of shoes and feet in front of him, and the smell that could be smelled in that small space, are still fresh in his memory. So much so that at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had always hated confined spaces and crowded crowds, and it turned out to be a disease that had been branded from here.

Fortunately, this time, he chose to insist that his mother make up the ticket for him, and bravely withstood the adults' "earnest teachings" and cold attacks on him, which finally brought him peace all the way. Finally, after seven hours of tossing and turning, the family finally arrived at the entrance of a village in Shen County, Hebei Province.
