049 A little girl with pigtails

Every Spring Festival, it is natural to visit relatives and friends.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Pei Youcai drove his wife and children in a Mercedes-Benz G500, happily humming a little song and set off to his hometown.

Pei Qian also has an uncle who farms in the countryside.

Pei Qian looked at the green mountains outside the window, and Pei Qingxue leaned on his shoulder and dozed off, she stayed up late last night to play games.

Speaking of which, although his hometown is less than an hour's drive from the county seat, since his family moved to the county seat, he has been back less than once a year on average.

It's just that after a while, he couldn't help but fight, he was forced by Pei Qingxue to play games with her last night.

Two people in a double row.

This is not the S10 season updated anymore, and there is no doubt that both of them are finally relegated in Brass2.

"Hey, I don't know how to say it, there are too many elementary school students. Pei Qingxue looked at her brass 2 and complained.

Pei Qian looked at her, was silent for a long time, and then nodded.

Obviously, Pei Qingxue didn't know that she herself was very likely to be, no, that is, no, it must be someone else's primary and secondary school students.

After I don't know how long, the Mercedes Benz stopped at the door of Pei Qian's old house.

Mother Liu Hongping woke up the two of them. "It's here. ”

Pei Qian got out of the car and looked at the red brick house.

When his family was repairing the house, at the end of the day, no one was willing to borrow money, so there was no tile.

In the courtyard at the entrance was a cracked concrete floor, and the blue grass in the cracks in the cement stubbornly stuck its head out.

Liu Hongping looked at the house and said angrily to Pei Youcai: "It's that you wanted to borrow money to repair the house, but now it's empty and no one lives there." ”

Pei Youcai lit a cigarette. "You've been talking about this for more than ten years, and you don't feel annoyed. ”

He glanced at the foundation he had laid again, and sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't borrow much money, otherwise it would have been all wasted." ”

Yes, Pei Qian's family built a big foundation for the house, but in the end it was only half repaired.

When I walked into the house, there were no cobwebs at all, wooden chairs were placed on the water surface smoothed by cement, and some furniture was piled up in the corners, which looked good, but it was completely dusty with my hands.

"Don't mess around. Pei Youcai looked at Pei Qingxue and said. "Every time you come back, you're a curiosity. ”

Pei Qingxue grinned and rubbed her dusty middle finger with her thumb.

Pei Qian also took a special look at the pigsty and the house where he once slept, but they were all empty.

Time is an incredible existence, it blurs the memory, and it will make you miss the memory that was blurred by it.

Every time he came back, Pei Qian would always think of the stainless steel lunch box and the neighbor's three-wheeled bicycle.

Pei Youcai locked the door again, Pei Qian took Pei Qingxue's hand and came to the side of the highway, pointed to a two-story building above the highway and said: "The child of that family used to have a tricycle, and I was very envious at that time. ”

"Brother, you've said it so many times, and my ears can hear the calluses coming. Pei Qingxue ruthlessly interrupted Pei Qian's emotion.

Pei Qian smiled awkwardly, he still wanted to sigh and then say it casually. "But now I've bought a Mercedes. ”

"Their family has also moved to the county seat, and you went to eat and drink during the summer vacation and saw them. Liu Hongping said to Pei Qingxue. "Didn't you have a tall, skinny boy with glasses who kept talking to you? ”

"Mom, don't say it. "Pei Qian is a little embarrassed, he was once forced to be a little brother in order to ride a tricycle!

The past is unbearable.

"Mom, tell me about it. Pei Qingxue was interested.

So ignoring Pei Qian's resentful eyes, Liu Hongping continued to speak. "At the beginning, their family often told me and your father that your son was running after my baby again, and you should buy him a toy car. ”

"That kid, when he was a child, he didn't have any interest, and he could covet a toy from others for a long time, staring at it. Pei Youcai also joined in. "So later, your mother and I simply stopped farming, thinking that planting one acre and three points of land was not a thing, so we went to the city. ”

Speaking of the end, Pei Youcai sighed. "When I first separated, I was given less than an acre of land, and then I dug a piece of dry land, but I couldn't save money all year round, so I learned a bricklayer's trade. ”

Some of these things Pei Qingxue had heard, and some had only heard of them now, she glanced at your equally deserted two-story building with white tiles, and thought to herself: "Speaking of which, I want to thank you!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Pei Youcai took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and then beckoned them to get back into the car.

Pei Qian looked at the cement paved road, it was no longer a dirt road with potholes, and it was no longer necessary to drive carefully, for fear of reaching the girder.

It's just that the house that has been passed twice is not much different from what he remembers, but it is very different.

There were no children chasing each other, only the occasional old man looked at their car curiously, wondering which one had come back to save relatives or worship their ancestors.

When he met someone he knew, Pei Youcai stopped to say hello and handed over a pack of cigarettes.

glanced at the cigarette sign on the other side, and said with a smile: "I heard that you made a fortune in the city, and now you are driving a Mercedes-Benz." ”

Pei Qian had only seen this kind of smile not long ago, but his was even more bitter.

Pei Youcai pointed to Pei Qian and said, "The car my baby bought, I will enjoy the blessings with me." ”

After the separation, Liu Hongping asked, "How much money are you going to give when the son of the old Zhou family gets married?"

"A thousand. Pei Youcai replied.

At the beginning, he also lent Pei Qian's family money, although he stayed at the door within a month to go back.

Liu Hongping nodded. "Those favors are all over. ”

"It's done early, it's easy to worry about early. Pei Youcai lit a cigarette.

I didn't meet any acquaintances on the road, even if there were very few people I saw during the New Year, and there was no excitement in Pei Qian's memory, and the sound of firecrackers could occasionally be heard.

When he arrived at Pei Qian's uncle's house, after the car was parked, Pei Qian opened the trunk and took out some gifts and things for going to the grave.

Pei Qian's uncle is called Pei Youde, his hair is black and white, Pei Qian also has a cousin who works in Nanyue Province, and the two children are thrown in their hometown for their parents to bring.

Pei Qingxue took out the candy and distributed it to the two little girls.

The larger one shouted. "Thank you, sister. Then the smaller one shouted. "Thank you, sister. ”

It's just that she looks like she has a cold, and she has snot hanging from her nose and lips and no one has wiped it.

Pei Qingxue squatted down, took out a tissue, and gently wiped her nose clean.

Pei Youcai is talking to Pei Youde, which is nothing more than talking about family life.

The relationship between the two brothers is not good, one is to separate the family, and even fought.

Second, when he borrowed money, Pei Youde didn't borrow a penny, so he kept him for a meal of grain rice.

However, the relationship between the two families has improved a lot in recent years, at least they can have a meal during the New Year, after all, they are brothers who break bones and tendons.

It's just that Pei Youde also has a hard spirit, even if he knew that his younger brother had made a fortune, he didn't take the initiative to mention money.

Pei Qian watched Pei Qingxue pick up two panda toys to tease the two little nieces, and couldn't help laughing.

Pei Qingxue seems to have always liked to tease children, and those children also like her.

Then she gave the two toys to her two little nieces, who cried out sweetly. "Thank you, sister. After that, he happily ran away.

Originally, they didn't call Pei Qingxue sister, but Pei Qingxue taught them.

It was the first time she saw them, holding two boxes of chocolates that changed their mouths.

Pei Qian suddenly discovered that this girl was far-sighted.

After a while, Pei Qian's aunt came to the courtyard and called them to eat.

The meals were plentiful and clean, new countryside and new atmosphere.

Besides, Pei Qian's cousin also has an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year, and he will send money home every month, but the uncle's family will not live a poor life.

Pei Qian's mother brought the gift to the eldest aunt, who said. "It's okay to come, why are you so polite. ”

Then he accepted it with a smile on his face.

Pei Qian's aunt is an authentic rural woman, when eating, Pei Qian looked at the swollen and red fingers on her hands, and then looked at her mother's fingers, which used to be like this, but now they are much better.

"Auntie, are you still farming?" asked Pei Qian.

Pei Qian's aunt liked Pei Qian and nodded. "Just grow a little vegetables and fruits, and now we even buy rice. ”

Pei Youcai coughed, and Pei Qian didn't say anything more.

Pei Qingxue served vegetables to the two little girls.

The latter shouted in unison. "Thank you, sister. ”

Pei Qian's aunt looked at them holding the toy panda in their left hand, and saw that they were still staring at the panda toy when they were eating. originally wanted them to concentrate on eating after putting it down, but after taking a look at Pei Qian's family, they still didn't say anything.

After eating, Pei Youde took them to the grave of Pei Qian's grandparents.

On the way, Pei Youde said to Pei Youcai: "Da Linzi can't come back this year, so let Pei Qian wait to burn the paper." ”

Da Linzi is Pei Qian's cousin's nickname.

Pei Youcai nodded.

The graves of Pei Qian's grandparents are side by side.

Pei Youcai planted incense, Pei Youde helped light the firecrackers, and suddenly the smoke became full.

In the crackling sound of firecrackers, the two brothers were silent, only their eyes were rosy.

Pei Qian and Pei Qingxue are not so sad, even Pei Qian has never seen his grandparents, let alone Pei Qingxue.

They are more like nouns for Pei Qian and Pei Qingxue.

After the sound of firecrackers, Pei Youde first knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up straight and said, "Parents, my son has come to see you." ”

After he got up, Pei Youcai did the same, but he whispered something behind him, but he saw his mouth opening and closing up and down, but there was no sound.

After that, it was Pei Qian who walked to the grave and knelt down to burn the paper money, Pei Qingxue, Liu Hongping and Pei Qian's aunt, including the two little girls, all stood quietly next to them.

After Pei Qian also kowtowed, they stood up, and they came over to help burn the paper money.

The temperature of the fire made each other's faces red.

After everything was done, Pei Qian's family and his uncle's family waved goodbye, and the two little girls waved vigorously at Pei Qingxue.

Pei Qian looked at the pigtails on top of their heads, and asked Pei Qingxue, "You helped them tie them?"

Pei Qingxue nodded. "Cute, huh?"

"Hmm. ”

Pei Qingxue also wore pigtails like this at the beginning.
