574 [My mother's family is here]
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the sun came out of the clouds early, exuding a scorching sun, shining on the mountains, faintly appearing one after another beautiful colors.
The mountain road is winding, and the path is not wide, and the grass, wildflowers, trees, high and low on both sides are scattered.
"Wubo doesn't need to be too nervous, just take pictures. ”
Huo Yaowen glanced at the fifth uncle standing next to him, and saw that he looked nervous, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop bubbling out, and he couldn't help but say a few words of relief.
"Hey, okay. ”
The fifth uncle smiled honestly, as if he had relaxed a lot, but when he saw the photographer facing him with a camera, the whole person was still involuntarily a little restrained and nervous.
"Alright. Zhang Chao found the angle of the backlight, and after confirming that it would not be exposed, he shouted to the people in front of him: "Look at the camera, look at the camera." ”
Hearing that the master was ready to take pictures, the older generation of people such as the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the fifth uncle will inevitably still feel a little nervous.
Zhang Chao looked at each of them with a straight face, a serious look, and quickly pressed the button, only to hear the "click", and the picture was permanently frozen in the film.
"Take a picture of me, take a picture of me!"
Huo Yaocheng saw that his father and uncle had taken a picture, and he immediately ran to the camera, preparing to ask Zhang Chao to take a photo of himself.
"Okay, stand still. Zhang Chao adjusted his perspective again, aimed at Huo Yaocheng, and made a "click".
took photos of the third, fourth, and fifth uncles successively, and Huo Yaowen asked how much film Zhang Chao brought.
"Don't worry, Comrade Huo, the film is absolutely enough, I brought twenty of them!" Zhang Chaoyi patted his chest, he came over this time and brought a full twenty films, enough to take more than 200 photos.
"Two Hundred ......"
Hearing that he could take so many pictures, Huo Yaowen thought about it and simply took some photos for the big guys.
"Shoot for us too?"
"Haha, that's great, I've never taken a picture before!"
"I did it once, when I was married to my daughter-in-law. ”
The big guy can take a picture when he hears it, and he happily cleaned up the dirty clothes, and stood there and asked Zhang Chao to take a picture of them one by one.
More than ten minutes passed.
When the third aunt and several women in the village carried a bucket of rice and two buckets of vegetables up the mountain, everyone stopped taking pictures and ran to eat, rest and rest, and prepare to work hard to repair the ancestral tomb in the afternoon.
They worked so hard, in addition to the two dollars of wages, more because it was a little too late in time.
Huo Yaowen was supposed to leave tomorrow, but because of the matter of worshipping the ancestors during the Double Ninth Festival, it was delayed until the day after tomorrow, and the ancestral tomb was repaired today, and the ancestral hall was repaired tomorrow, basically there was no problem.
After hastily eating lunch on the mountain and taking a photo of the big guys, Huo Yaowen led Zhang Chao down the mountain, ready to take some photos of the third master and them.
……
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a few old people and a few young people sitting in the living room, and the third master saw Huo Yaowen coming back, and hurriedly introduced: "Yaowen, you came just in time, this is your grandmother's brother, you should be called uncle." ”
Grandma's surname is Zhang, her mother's family is also from Zhongshan County, and there is an elder brother in the family, who is the uncle in front of her, and Zhang Huawei is Grandma's cousin.
In the previous letters, there were two letters written by my grandmother and my brother-in-law to this uncle.
Huo Yaowen glanced at the old man in front of him, dressed in a Mao suit, wearing a pair of glasses, and a long beard, and the whole person looked like a gentleman, similar to his uncle.
Immediately, he respectfully stepped forward and shouted "Uncle".
When the eldest uncle saw Huo Yaowen, he was a little emotional, probably because he was the grandson of his sister, he got up and looked left and right, and was very satisfied with Huo Yaowen's dignified appearance, "Okay, Junyi's grandsons are so old." Yes, yes, just like your grandfather. ”
Then the eldest uncle asked with concern: "Is your grandma okay on Hong Kong Island, and how is your uncle over there?"
"It's all good uncle. Grandma's body has always been very strong, and my brother-in-law also returned to Hong Kong Island from the United States a few years ago to settle down, and he has always talked to me about you. ”
Subsequently, the eldest uncle asked Grandma and the younger uncle about the situation in Hong Kong, and after learning that everything was fine, he nodded with a smile.
The eldest uncle suddenly thought of his son and grandson who was following him, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's right, Yaowen." This is your cousin, this is your eldest cousin Zhang Hua, and this is your cousin Zhang Ming. ”
Huo Yaowen glanced at it and shouted respectfully, "Uncle Cousin." ”
"Good. Uncle Cousin smiled and responded.
Cousin Zhang Hua is already married, and he also brought his wife and children to Huojia Village this time, Huo Yaowen also asked Huo Yaocheng to go to his room to get a few bags of packaged candies and biscuits, and took out a few big solidarity and handed them to his cousin-in-law.
At first, my cousin Zhang Hua was a little embarrassed, but he glanced at his uncle and saw that he didn't object, so he accepted it with a smile.
As for his cousin Zhang Ming, he was the same size as Huo Yaocheng, and when he received a big unity, the whole person was very happy, and he shouted Huo Yaowen, a cheap cousin, very energetically.
In the afternoon, when the eldest uncle and his entourage were about to go back, Huo Yaowen repeatedly stayed and decided to stay for two nights and wait until Huo Yaowen worshiped his ancestors before leaving.
In the evening, several families gathered together for dinner, and at the dinner table, the little cousins Zhang Ming and Huo Yaocheng took two mouthfuls of food, and then went to watch TV, which took away a few little guys.
Until the evening, because there were more guests and the room was tight, the third uncle and the third aunt went to the fourth uncle's house temporarily, and Huo Yaocheng and Huo Huiying moved to the fifth uncle's house to live.
In the night, the little cousin Zhang Ming and Huo Yaowen rested in the room, facing this little cousin who liked to ask questions like Huo Yaocheng, although he wanted to sleep very much, he still patiently told him about the outside world, told him to study hard, and had the opportunity to take him to Hong Kong to see and learn in the future.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ming was very excited, and he repeatedly promised to study hard.
Seeing that his little cousin was the same as Huo Yaocheng, as soon as he heard that he could go to Hong Kong to see and learn, he couldn't wait to jump out of bed and run a few laps outside! This kind of excitement and excitement Huo Yaowen can understand very well, just like when he envied others for having a relative who returned home from Taiwan.
It wasn't until more than eleven o'clock in the night that the little cousin gradually quieted down from his excitement, and after a while, the snoring sound was all over the sky, making Huo Yaowen wake up directly from his dream.
In the dark room, Huo Yaowen glanced at Zhang Ming, who was snoring beside him, with a hint of moonlight outside, shook his head helplessly, picked up a pillow to cover his ears, and fell asleep hazy.
……
Early the next morning.
Huo Yaowen hastily finished breakfast, took a little biscuits, candy and other gifts, and rode a bicycle to let Huo Yaoguang take him to his mother's mother's house.
Yesterday, the eldest uncle came over, which caught Huo Yaowen a little off guard, he actually wanted to come over today to see his grandma and his mother's relatives, but he didn't expect the eldest uncle to come over by himself in advance, so he thought about going to his mother's maiden home Lijia Village today to visit a few uncles and aunts.
Mother Li Yiping's maiden home is about 50 kilometers away from Huojia Village, and the two rode until about 11 o'clock in the morning before they arrived at Lijia Village.
Faced with the arrival of Huo Yaowen's eldest nephew, the relatives of his mother's mother's family were very happy, and his grandfather first asked about the situation of Grandma and his mother on Hong Kong Island, and then asked his second cousin and Li Jun and Li Laidi, two cousins and cousins who fled to Hong Kong Island a few years earlier.
It was also a relief to learn that they were all right.
After a warm lunch, Huo Yaowen took out the camera he borrowed from Zhang Chao, and took pictures of his grandfather, uncle, aunt and other immediate family members of his mother's family one by one, and then he got up and prepared to say goodbye and go back.
Originally, the uncles wanted to keep Huo Yaowen for a night, but when they learned that he would worship his ancestors tomorrow and would return to Hong Kong Island the day after tomorrow, they didn't keep him anymore, but just asked an uncle to take a cousin and a cousin back to Huojia Village with Huo Yaowen, and when he was about to leave, he would be sent away.
