Chapter 6: A Family
In the previous life, Liu Lang's aunt did not go to college, the highest education is only high school, in her twenties to work in the factory, in her forties to catch up with the reform of state-owned enterprises and laid off, and later worked as a house salesman, not rich and expensive, just plain, the biggest achievement is to train the daughter to work on Hong Kong Island after graduation, the salary is a lot, but the pressure is also very great, the aunt often runs from the north to Hong Kong Island to help her daughter cook, and then the daughter got married and had children, the husband and wife separated, and the aunt often took the child to the south and north, although it was hard, but there were no complaints。
Liu Lang himself is a college student, the first college student in his family, he always feels that his parents are not very educated, and the highest aunt is only a high school student, but this history now seems to be as questionable as his own name.
Maybe my aunt's education is not high, but she is by no means uneducated, and Liu Lang can see that she is still a literary young man.
"Hua Jin, you're about to graduate from high school, are you going to take the university entrance examination?"
Liu Lang's mother was washing clothes in the outhouse while chatting with Liu Lang's aunt.
"I can't get into college, I don't know any foreign languages, and my father also said that high school is enough, and when I graduate, I can go straight to work, and then I can make money." ”
My aunt was sitting on the kang and reading a book, and she said without raising her head.
"The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used them to find the light. ”
My aunt suddenly read it out in a whisper with a copy of the Lonely City Anthology.
Of course, Liu Lang has heard this poem, and he also knows that the person in the lonely city, he is a genius, and has created a precedent for hazy poetry, which has a great inspiration for a generation, and the poem recited by his aunt is the poem he published in a poetry magazine at the beginning of this year, and it is said that it caused a shock as soon as it was published, and became an idol in the hearts of young people in this era.
"Sister-in-law, how well this poem is written! This emotion makes my eyes seem to have light, and I want to be a poet!"
Liu Lang's aunt said intoxicated.
Liu Lang's mother was washing Liu Lang's diaper, and she didn't hear the other party say any more poetry, but she still asked casually.
"Well, it's really a good poem, was it written by Li Bai or Du Fu?"
"Poof!"
Liu Lang couldn't hold it back, and squirted out with a mouthful of spit.
And the aunt showed an embarrassed look on her face, as if she was playing the piano to the cow just now.
"What's wrong son? What's wrong son?"
Mother came to Liu Lang's side at once, although she didn't hear what her little sister was saying just now, but Liu Lang's every move couldn't escape her ears.
"Giggles!"
Liu Lang couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at his mother.
"Huh! Will you laugh? Hua Jin, grandma, look at Liu Lang's laughter!"
The mother sat on the kang with Liu Lang in her arms, the grandmother and aunt came closer, teasing the child with their hands, and Liu Lang looked at each other with his clear eyes, and from time to time stretched out his little hands to touch the faces of the three people.
Children have three turns, six sitting, seven rolls and eight climbing, which means that ordinary children can turn over in three months, sit up in six months, roll in seven months, and climb in eight months, but Liu Lang is not an ordinary child, he can turn over at will just after the full moon.
"Come east, look, my son is turning over again. ”
The mother cried out, and the father, who was chopping wood in the outhouse, immediately ran in, still carrying an axe in his hand.
"My son is amazing, come, let's turn one!"
With a smile on his face, his father supported Liu Lang with his hand, and Liu Lang turned it over again.
"Good, good!"
The grandmother also applauded again and again.
"Our son is a little different, just a full moon has to drink milk several times a day, every time he drinks it, he sleeps, he wakes up and turns over, he drinks milk after turning over, and then he sleeps, my milk is a little not enough for him to drink!"
Liu Lang's mother was a little worried that her breast milk was not enough for Liu Lang to drink.
"Well, I'll go to the three department stores tomorrow to buy a chicken for you to stew, if you don't have milk, I'll buy some milk powder." ”
Father said.
"What kind of milk do you drink! I can drink porridge now!"
Liu Lang shouted in his heart, in a month's time, Liu Lang has gradually adapted to this body, he is now turning over every day is exercising his strength, plus he thinks every day, the energy consumed is not what his mother's milk can replenish, it can be said that Liu Lang is now spending all the time in hunger, and his body seems to recognize the master's problem, Liu Lang feels that his gums have an itchy feeling, I am afraid that it will not take half a month for his teeth to pop up.
Although he didn't have teeth yet, Liu Langtian felt that he could drink some gruel, but he didn't dare to speak, if he did, he was afraid that it would scare his parents, so in order to save energy, he could only sleep in addition to drinking milk and exercising his muscles a few times.
Liu Lang's father really bought a chicken the next day, a skinny chicken weighing only two or three catties, after all, in this era, people can only barely make ends meet, and this chicken is also hungry and skinny.
A thin chicken boiled a pot full of soup, parents plus grandparents, second uncles, third uncles, aunts, and grandparents all got together, in addition to the big pot of chicken soup on the table, there was also a pot of bud rice noodles steamed buns, plus a big bowl of stewed cabbage, grandpa was the first to move chopsticks, put two chicken legs and a bowl of chicken legs in front of his mother, and the others saw their father eat and picked up chopsticks, and couldn't help but say that they went to the pot full of chicken soup, and whoever moved slowly ate less.
"Slow down!"
Liu Lang's father was the fastest, and put a piece of breast meat in Liu Lang's grandmother's bowl, and when he went back to clip it, there was only chicken butt and chicken head left in a big pot of chicken soup.
"I eat chicken butt, give it to me!"
Liu Lang's grandmother put the chicken breast in the bowl into Liu Lang's father's bowl, and then sandwiched the rest of the chicken butt into her own bowl.
"Mom, what's so delicious about chicken butts?"
Liu Lang's father also had to clip the chicken breast to his mother.
"I eat chicken butt, you eat that!"
Liu Lang's grandmother shook her head again and again, reached out and took a steamed bun and ate it.
"Dad, this is for you!"
Liu Lang's father wanted to give meat to his father.
"You eat, I'll just eat something!"
Liu Lang's grandfather waved his hand, took a steamed bun and ate it with cabbage soup.
"Dongwei, give it to you!"
Liu Lang's father casually put the piece of breast meat in front of his youngest brother, this time the other party did not object, directly picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it cleanly without even spitting out the bones, which attracted the jealous eyes of the two brothers and one sister.
