Grandmother smiled and said, "Don't you like to play with cannons? Are you a man or a woman? You are even afraid of cannons, and when you grow up, you want to be a big man who stands up to the sky?"

Chen Hansheng was still afraid of firing cannons, but he liked to listen to them, so he stood far away and did not move forward.

At this time, Yang Donggu, because of the inverted hair in her eyes and afraid of the dazzling sun, put her hands on the pergola and watched Chen Hansheng and Xie Chunxiang who were walking slowly. Seeing that Chen Hansheng was reluctant to come over, Yang Donggu asked Xie Chunxiang what was going on, Xie Chunxiang said that he was afraid of firing the cannon, so Yang Donggu asked the man to take the cannons aside and put them.

Chen Hansheng couldn't figure it out, and it wasn't for the New Year, why did his mother still set off a cannon to greet him?

After the cannon went off, Chen Hansheng followed his grandmother into his mother's house. To be exact, this home is much worse than that one, not only is one side of the house still covered with thatch, but the entire interior wall has not been renovated, and the wind from the outside can blow in through the hole in the wall.

When the adults were talking, Chen Hansheng, who had always been unable to sit still, hid from the eyes of the adults and secretly ran to the pond to play. There are some lotus leaves growing in the pond, and there are little frogs jumping on the lotus leaves, which makes Chen Hansheng look very funny. There was also the other little frog, crouching there motionless, with its eyes closed as if it were dead. Chen Hansheng turned around and found a small stick to poke the little frog that was not moving. Chen Hansheng wanted to drive those little frogs from the lotus leaves to the shore, grab one and play with it.

Yang Donggu, who was talking to Xie Chunxiang, suddenly remembered that Chen Hansheng was not there, and felt that Chen Hansheng might have gone to the pond in front of her, so she rushed out directly, and sure enough, she saw Chen Hansheng bending over by the pond at the moment and knocking the little green baby with a small stick. Yang Donggu immediately shouted my son, and then walked over and pulled Chen Hansheng tightly, and said as she walked, "There are water ghosts in my pond, and you can't play with it!

Chen Hansheng only heard his grandmother say that there are water ghosts in the river, and there are water monsters and water demons in the big river and sea, so he must not go, but he has never heard that there are water ghosts in this small pond.

Chen Hansheng, who likes to understand everything clearly, followed his mother into the house, and then pulled his grandmother and asked, "Milk! You said that there are water ghosts in the river, and there are water monsters and water demons in the big river and the sea, but you never said that there are water ghosts in this pond!

Xie Chunxiang was stunned for a moment, Yang Donggu hurriedly gave her a look, and Xie Chunxiang hurriedly said to Chen Hansheng, "Of course, there are still water ghosts in the pond, and wherever there is water, there are water ghosts!

Chen Hansheng nodded and asked, "Is there a water ghost in the water tank?"

"There are also water ghosts in the washbasin!" Yang Donggu said, "There are also water ghosts in the washbasin!

The more Chen Hansheng listened, the more mysterious he felt, and he was even more afraid that because wherever there was water, there would be water ghosts, and he would not dare to approach the water.

"I don't have to be too afraid. Yang Donggu smiled and said, "Although there are water ghosts in the basin in the water tank, but the water ghosts don't catch obedient people, but only catch those disobedient little people! ”

Chen Hansheng nodded hurriedly, and then went to the field to play, not daring to go to the pond to play in the water.

Hearing that her ex-mother-in-law Xie Chunxiang and Chen Hansheng were coming, Yang Donggu began to prepare for food almost half a month in advance, she not only prepared delicious egg noodles for Chen Hansheng, as well as meat and fish, but also prepared snacks such as peanuts and beans for Chen Hansheng.

When Chen Hansheng was playing outside, Yang Donggu took out those peanuts and peans and stuffed them into Chen Hansheng's small pockets, filling Chen Hansheng's two small pockets.

When Chen Hansheng happily received those things, a question arose in his mind, these peanuts and beans and other snacks are often only enjoyed during the Chinese New Year, how can they be enjoyed by their mother? Moreover, in his mother's place, almost all meals are delicious, is it possible that his mother can't celebrate the New Year every day?

Chen Hansheng is an active child, he doesn't want to be around adults all the time, but likes to go out and play. Although Yang Donggu scared Chen Hansheng with the water ghost theory, she still couldn't rest assured. As soon as she had time, Yang Donggu came out to find him with a pergola and pulled him back into the house.

The details of his mother's always holding her hands on the pergola aroused Chen Hansheng's curiosity, and he even asked his grandmother, "Why does my mother always put her hand on her forehead?"

Xie Chunxiang said, "Your mother has inverted hair in her eyes, and she can't see the dazzling sun." ”

Chen Hansheng said, "Then will I be like this in the future?"

"Of course you won't!" Xie Chunxiang said, "Your mother often cried secretly when she gave birth to you, and crying became this problem." ”

When Chen Hansheng heard this, he felt a little sad, so he asked, "Why doesn't that mother go to treatment?"

Xie Chunxiang originally wanted to say that it was because she didn't have the money to see a doctor, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her words, "It's not very serious now, but if it's serious in the future, she will naturally go to the doctor!"

Chen Hansheng stopped thinking about it.

When she went to bed at night, Aunt Yang asked Chen Hansheng if he would like to sleep with her or with his grandmother. Chen Hansheng was used to following his grandmother, and his grandmother never scolded him for wetting the bed, so Chen Hansheng said that he slept with his grandmother. Yang Donggu was a little sad when she heard this, thinking that after a long time, her son began to become unfamiliar, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

When she went to bed, Yang Donggu saw that it was windy outside, and there would be wind blowing in the hole in the pei wall, and Chen Hansheng was frostbitten, so Yang Donggu took out the bed cover she had covered and took it to the next room to add it to Chen Hansheng, and used a piece of cloth to stuff the hole on Chen Hansheng's head tightly.

Chen Hansheng slept until dawn, and when he got up, he saw his mother Yang Donggu with a towel wrapped around her head, so he asked his mother what was wrong. Xie Chunxiang said, "It's not for you, your mother was frostbitten last night." There is only one sheet on a bed, put it on you, and she will freeze!"

"Actually, I'm not afraid of the cold!" Chen Hansheng said, "Why is there only one bed of sheets here?"

"You won't understand these things now!" Xie Chunxiang said, "When you grow up and know how life is lived, you will understand why there is only one sheet on a bed here." ”

Xie Chunxiang saw that Yang Donggu was sick and had been living here for two days, and she couldn't live any longer, so she had to take Chen Hansheng back.

Chen Hansheng, who had both food and fun, was reluctant to go back, and he even said to Xie Chunxiang, "I still have to play here for a day! ”

"No!" Of course, Xie Chunxiang knew that it was impossible for Chen Hansheng to know about Yang Donggu's life at this time, so she said to Chen Hansheng in a commanding tone, "You can't leave for a long time! ”

Chen Hansheng was unhappy, and there were even tears of grievance in his eyes.

Yang Donggu said to Chen Hansheng with tears in her eyes, "You will listen to your grandmother today, go back first, you won't go to school in the future, and come back when you are free!"

Chen Hansheng heard that his mother also meant to drive him away, and he felt more and more aggrieved and sad. Yang Donggu stuffed his pockets with those snacks, and said to Chen Hansheng with tears in her eyes, "My son, after I go back, I must listen to my grandmother's words, study hard, and be a good learner in the future, and become a master!"

Chen Hansheng didn't understand what the Venerable Man meant, but he could still think of the meaning of those words, he nodded, looked at Yang Donggu reluctantly and said, "Mother!

"Okay!" Although Yang Donggu agreed again and again, she thought in her heart that when her son had a stepmother, she was afraid that it would not be transferred by his will. Thinking of this, Yang Donggu had tears to flow out again. Yang Donggu, who was wrapped in a headscarf, pretended to be happy and sent Chen Hansheng to the mountain by the pond, and watched her son slowly leave her sight with tears in her eyes.

Chen Hansheng, who turned back step by step, gradually drifted away, this mother with a headscarf and tears, and a mother who had been holding a pergola because she was afraid of seeing the sun, was the second deep impression left on her childhood.
