In the summer of '90, the summer of my third year graduation. My mother took me back to Xiaoxitan Village.

Hurry for several summers, two or three years.

The reason for returning to my hometown is that when my family moved, the rice, flour, grain and oil they brought were all eaten, and my mother had to go home to collect rent and grind noodles from the neighbors who contracted my family's orchard and land.

The day after we returned home, my mother and the village came to see us and help my mother fry the wheat.

Mom looked up at the third uncle in surprise and a little uneasy. The reason why I am uneasy is that although the third uncle's family did not have a big fight with my family in the years before the move, there was also an obvious distance and subconscious "hostility" because my grandmother ignored my family and watered the orchard.

The third uncle looked at his surprised mother and shouted enthusiastically: "The second sister-in-law is back, and my mother asked me to come over and call you home for dinner." After all these years, don't worry about anything, ah. I finally came back, let's go, go back to see my father and mother, my mother pushed the yellow rice and steamed cake on the mill early in the morning."

After talking to my mother, the third uncle turned to me who was squatting on the kang and playing with the fried wheat: "Yongzi, hurry up and go back to grandma's house with the third uncle, your fourth and fifth brothers miss you." Your third aunt also gave birth to a little sister for you, named Caiyun, you will not be the youngest child in our family in the future, you have a sister!"

I didn't feel for my sister at the time, but I really missed my fourth brother, my fifth brother, and especially my fourth brother.

The fourth brother is the same age as my own sister, 76-year-old Dalong, five years older than me, not tall, does not like to talk, but fights like practicing free fighting, kicking, kicking, falling, and turning all kinds of exquisite.

This is also the reason why I studied in Hailiu Sutai Primary School for three years, but no one dared to bully me as a little fool.

In the first week of school, a boy from Hailiu Sutai North Street, who was so naughty that no one in my class dared to mess with him, reached into my vest and grabbed my fruit to eat.

The fourth brother came over and asked me calmly, "Who is Li Ermao?"

The kid arrogantly squeezed out of the crowd, raised his face and said, "Master, what do you want?"

I remember that I just watched the moment when the fourth brother grabbed Li Er's sweater collar, but I didn't care about the fourth brother's slap at all, so I swept the other brother's feet off the ground and fell straight and sideways on the stone slab in front of the classroom door.

Li Ermao was lying on the ground, curled up on his right leg, holding his ankle bone with both hands and crying.

Every time I think about it, I panic for him.

Today's children will never feel the pain of the hand-sewn elastic cloth shoes with a thick hard rubber sole kicking the "face-bone" of the calf or the ankle bone, which is the level of several levels of pain!

Modern football commentators often refer to the collision between these two objects as a "hard injury"!

Li Ermao's cry attracted the attention of his fifth-grade brother, Li Damao, the famous "Four Masters" of Hailiu Sutai Primary School.

Li Damao rushed to the fourth brother, grabbed the fourth brother's collar and scolded: Black book (the fourth brother's name is Du Shuwen, he doesn't like to wash his face when he goes to school, and there is always a black sweat groove on his neck, so he got the nickname of the black book), you fuck you want to die!

Before the word "death" was finished, Li Damao had already grabbed the fourth brother's collar with both hands, and then turned around and fell over the shoulder and fell to the ground!

If the teacher hadn't arrived in time, Li Damao might have been choked out by the fourth brother who knelt on his chest on one knee that day, pinched his neck with his right hand and pinched him into a "pig liver" face.

The fourth brother became famous in a fight!

My three years of further study were safe!

Yu Guardian, the fourth brother is my hero.

As a person, the fourth brother who is honest and silent makes me warm like a grandfather.

Before leaving the village, the older children of the village would carry their younger brothers and sisters on their backs to play a game of horseback riding and fighting. At that time, the fourth brother would often carry me on his back, run, jump, and spin to throw me up and let me fly and kick other "centaurs" partners.

Every time we play, our combination wins nine out of ten!

So when the third uncle told me about the fourth brother and the fifth brother, I jumped up happily.

If you want to say that the third uncle is really an interpersonal master.

The third uncle didn't give his mother a chance to hesitate any longer, so he pulled his mother's sleeve and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, let's go, let's go, hurry back, the cake won't taste good when it's cold!"

Perhaps benefiting from Uncle San's way of dealing with and resolving conflicts, many years later, I highly recommend the sales technique of "imaginary deal" in my business team.

All communication and negotiation are defined in the framework state that the order has been completed and the customer has signed a contract with us. Business personnel should use this definition to let customers do closed-loop multiple-choice questions, push customers forward to achieve phased results, and do not leave too much time for customers to open up and discuss topics.

I went to the third uncle's house (grandparents and third uncle lived together, the old son, there was no other home), and I didn't remember how to eat. But my fourth brother and fifth brother quickly got together.

I took out my favorite Asian Games "Panpan" medal and gave the fourth and fifth brothers a farewell, and watched the kaleidoscope I made in my school handicraft class with them. The fourth brother and the fifth brother also took out their newly made slingshots and stuffed them into my trouser pocket: Yongyong, yours!

That night, I was huddled in a quilt with my fourth and fifth brothers.

The next morning, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I heard the third aunt chatting with the sister-in-law next door across the wall: "Alas, the little brothers are having a good time, but in the end it is a grandfather's own grandson, who broke bones and tendons." ”

Since then, there has only been one holiday during the winter and summer vacations every year. I would ask my parents to take me to the bus back to my hometown as soon as possible.

Every time I went home, my mother would buy a lot of honey cakes, hemp leaves, old Beijing cakes and other things that my mother thought was good, and asked me to bring them back to my grandparents. Every time, he would tell me that my grandfather has good teeth and can eat honey crisp and hemp leaves. The old Beijing cake is for grandma, grandma has no teeth, the cake is soft, and the gummy can grind.

The most enjoyable thing is the winter vacation of one year.

I took the pork skin jelly that my mother made for my grandmother, and my grandmother had never seen this thing before, so she put it in the cage drawer and steamed it, and when the lid of the cage was lifted, there was only one plate of pork skin soup left on the plate......

Every time Grandma told this joke to the villagers, it was with obvious ostentation.

People in the village will always say: Fourth grandmother, look at it, inside and out, you are still the most filial to you in the second family, right?

Every now and then, my grandmother would say, "Oh, yes, the gun is dead!"

In my hometown, the suffix of gunfire represents a person's greatest remorse for what he said and did.

Later, my grandfather and grandmother moved into the house we left in the village.

When Mom and Dad go back to their hometown, they will stay with Grandpa and Grandma for a few days.

During a chat, my grandmother looked into the distance and mentioned that the old people of the same age in the village were starting to prepare to put on old clothes.

The elderly in the countryside, their sons and daughters prepare coffins and put old clothes called longevity, and longevity clothes are a symbol of filial piety and old dependence. It is also said that preparing these can be rejoicing and prolong the life of the elderly.

When I returned to the city, my mother immediately went to buy the most popular and best shroud fabrics at that time, and set up her own sewing machine to make two sets of shrouds and shrouds for my grandfather and grandmother. I also made a gray "really good" shirt and pants for my grandfather and grandmother to wear in season. After the clothes were ready, my mother asked my father to take my grandfather and grandmother to Fengzhen for more than a month, and my grandmother's tears were blurred when she saw the shroud and robe.

The grandmother, who was wearing a "really good" shirt and pants, looked again and again in front of the mirror at the door. Besides, grandma is really good-looking, with big eyelids, goose egg face, and a delicate three-inch golden lotus in their foot-bound era.

For more than a month, my mother gave my grandfather and grandmother pocket money every day and sent them to the neighbor's house in the yard to play "stick cards", which is basically the same card as mahjong. When I got home after playing cards, my mother's meal was already ready. Grandma is like a child, always complaining to her mother about how bad her grandfather is at playing cards while eating, she won't cooperate, she won't look at her eyes to play cards, and she is always not angry.

Grandpa always happily replied: "It's like how good you play." ”

When she returned to the village, her grandmother said that the second family had made her life worthwhile for the past month!

Here it is necessary to say my grandmother's name, my grandmother's name is Zhao Ernu.

That's right, it's the same name as my mother, and I don't have the same surname.

Time is the scale of the pole, and he will use his own scale to measure the truth, goodness, beauty and ugliness of the world.

The two "second daughters", two women who also come from patriarchal families and don't even have a formal and decent name, two women who are uneducated but both are strong and capable, all the contradictions have been resolved by the kindness that has been moistened by this time.
