"When the sun came out, I climbed the hillside, climbed to the top of the mountain, I wanted to sing, the song floated to my sister, she laughed when she heard me sing..."

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Gu Meng carried a bamboo basket on his back and hummed a song while climbing.

Gu Yong followed behind him, and the two of them carried rice and meat, as well as clothes and snacks, to their grandfather and uncle in advance, and by the way, they took their relatives to Gu's house for the New Year.

Of course, this is the practice of relatives in poor families, most of whom are in the first month of the New Year.

My grandfather's house is in Shibalipo Village, Luling Town.

Walking from Luling Town to the northwest mountains, first walk around the foot of the mountain for twenty miles, a one-foot-wide mountain road that even bicycles can't pass.

At the end of the trail, the terrain slowly rises and begins to climb.

"Brother, it's icy on the road, be careful!"

There is a ravine below the ramp, and the narrow path is also soaked, and a light layer of ice forms on the way in the morning.

The road is a sloping slope, and despite the steep terrain here, there are still people planting on the slope, mostly winter wheat and medicinal herbs.

After climbing a section of the hill, the terrain is a little gentle.

On the gentle slope of the roadside, people began to appear.

This is the first group of Shibalipo Village, called the Pokou Group.

Gu Meng didn't understand why these people built their homes in the mountains, and hid them so deeply, even if they had money, they didn't want to move to the town, I don't know if they were insecure, or they still pity their hometown.

"Are you street Gu brothers?"

A man who was doing farm work on the slope looked at the two brothers with a hoe and asked with a smile.

Gu Meng secretly praised his good memory, the Gu brothers only came once or twice a year, and the people on the side of the road remembered it very clearly.

He couldn't remember, let alone Gu Yong, but the people in the mountains were all relatives, and it would not be wrong for the elders in the same village to call them uncles, and it would not be wrong for the elders of his mother's family to call his cousins and uncles according to their age.

Gu Meng shouted with a smile, "Uncle Cousin, do your job!"

He handed over a cigarette, and his cousin continued with a smile, glanced at the two of them back baskets, there were rice and meat, full of two back baskets, smashed his mouth and said: "The He family gave birth to a good and filial woman, and the grandson is also filial!"

The envy is palpable.

Gu Meng just laughed, a few years ago, Gu's father died, the family was poor, and he could only get a two-color gift for the New Year, two handfuls of noodles and a pound of brown sugar, and a small packet.

"You two go to the house and drink some water, rest and then go!"

"No, cousin, it's not far, it's not tired!"

Gu Meng said goodbye and continued to move forward.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, they are all relatives along the way, and they can always say two words when they meet, how they were when they were young, how they were when they were older, and sometimes they can talk about a few words about national events and the international situation.

The people in the mountains are poor, but they are very welcoming, beckoning to sit down, drink saliva, really go to the door, the host will bring out the best things to entertain, a glass of sugar water, a plate of fried pumpkin seeds, dried sweet potatoes, although some homemade mountain goods are very shabby, it is indeed the best thing in the house.

This is a rare situation to see more than 20 years later.

Eighteen miles of slope is more than eighteen miles, Gu Meng's grandmother's house lives in the innermost, and the two brothers walked for three hours to reach the slope, which is more difficult than the road to the county, which is one of the reasons why Gu Meng rarely comes to eighteen miles.

Another reason is that my grandmother's family is not rich, and the food at home is only enough for the family to eat, so it is very difficult for relatives to come, not to mention that the two brothers have a lot of food.

There are two uncles in my grandmother's family, both of whom are in their thirties, and my mother He Xiufang is the eldest sister at home.

After the two uncles got married, they separated, and their lives were stumbling and tight.

In the previous life, something happened to Gu Meng's family, and the uncles knew that there was no way, they were powerless, Gu Meng never counted on them, and he was not very disappointed, after the death of his mother, there was less contact, and the relationship between relatives was weak, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"He Xiushan, He Xiushan, your two nephews are here!"

Before Gu Meng had climbed the hill bag of his grandfather's house, there was a call from the opposite mountain.

This is the neighbor who lives across the street from my grandfather's house, and He Xiushan is the name of my uncle.

This way of summoning is very interesting, a voice can shout two miles away, before Gu Meng followed his father into the mountain to pay New Year's greetings, his father carried a lot of rice grain, just walked into the eighteen-mile slope, someone shouted loudly, one by one, from the slope to grandpa's house, grandpa got the letter, and sent two uncles down to greet him.

Hearing the call at the door, my grandfather and his family ran out.

Uncle He Xiushan, brother-in-law He Xiufeng, two aunts, and three cousins, He Hutian, He Hulin, He Huliang, and a little cousin He Tiantian, who is less than four years old, are hiding behind the legs of their grandparents, secretly looking at two strange cousins.

"Grandpa and Grandma, you are all right!"

"Hehe, it's all good!"

Grandparents are in their sixties, grandpa is strong, grandma is kind, and the two look at the two grandchildren with a smile.

"Uncle and aunt, uncle and aunt!"

Gu Meng greeted several elders with a smile, and Gu Yong also shouted.

Gu Yong was diligent and obedient, in fact, his grandparents liked him more, and pulled his eldest grandson, saying that he had grown taller and stronger again.

Gu Yong also had a very close relationship with his grandparents, looking at the two old men, he smiled.

The uncle took his back basket, and the younger uncle took Gu Yong's back basket.

Three cousins, who were less than ten years old, circled around them, shouting loudly, 'Brother Da Yong, Brother Xiao Meng', running around for a while, very happy.

Gu Meng knew that the three little guys were not only happy that the two cousins were here, but also happy that they could have a good meal today.

When relatives come, the family will definitely eat well, and they have lived for seven, eight or nine years, and they have not paid attention to anything else, and they always remember this rule very clearly.

Gu Meng grabbed a handful of peanut toffee and gave it to the three of them.

The toffee is sandwiched with peanuts and tastes delicious.

The three of them jumped up happily like little monkeys, shouting Long live Brother Meng, which attracted a reprimand from the uncle, who dares to live in this era?

The little cousin stared at the candy before she arrived at her at last.

Gu Meng hugged He Tiantian and said with a smile: "Tiantian, who are the two of us?

He Tiantian was young, where did he remember which of the two black-faced Langjun was, he was so frightened that he twisted in his arms, and a layer of mist quickly rose in his big eyes.

"Tiantian, this is Brother Da Yong, this is Brother Xiao Meng, hurry up and call wow!" the little cousin's mother and aunt reminded with a smile.

He Tiantian obviously didn't remember, but the little aunt taught her twice before she meowed, "Brother Dayong!

"Hehe, sweet and good!"

Gu Meng smiled and put the toffee in the little girl's pocket.

Among these relatives, he is the most familiar with the little girl.

In his previous life, he worked in Hanjing, and a friend introduced him to a fellow countryman.

Gu Meng went on a blind date, sat down and chatted for a while, only to find out that the other party was this little girl, I have to say that fate is very big, the world is so big, there are so many Hanjing people, the probability of the two meeting is too small, but that's how they met.

Gu Meng lived very lonely alone, and suddenly met a relative, he was so rare that he was so excited that he wanted to cry.

At that time, he had a house and a car, and his economic conditions were good, and when he saw that she was working hard, he provided her with food and housing, changed her job, helped her find a partner, and simply regarded her as a daughter.

But this girl is not a down-to-earth person, her appearance can only be regarded as delicate, not very beautiful, she prefers plastic surgery to be a star.

Gu Meng couldn't persuade her, so he could only give her a sum of money, introduce acquaintances in several circles, and let her go by herself.

Later, he had an accident, according to the inheritance law, this little girl should have a share, and her future affairs should be handled by her and Zhao Jia!

What does it feel like to hold the person who buried you in your arms?

Others don't know, but Gu Meng knows.

......

It's the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and Gu Meng lived in the mountains for a day and went down the mountain.

He invited his grandfather's family down the mountain for the New Year, but the uncles were reluctant to come, and the three little cousins couldn't come, so they could only take the two old people down the mountain.

Gu has a small family, borrow some popularity from a foreign house, and have a lively New Year.
