Driving on the road, the mountains in the distance are undulating, scattered with large and small villages, and the open view is refreshing. Chen Xiaohe has never felt that his hometown is so beautiful.

When I came back this time, although my mood was not beautiful, and one thing made her unhappy, but when it was time to leave, she was still very nostalgic.

There are not so many cars on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and after getting on the highway, it will be smooth all the way. A family of four listened to music while driving, studied the Gaode map, and discussed the construction of national highways, and everything in their hometown was left behind.

Chen Xiaohe didn't know how to remember the story of when he was born.

The day of birth was a cold winter day with dripping water and ice. Yu Mei lay on the narrow delivery bed in the hospital for two days and two nights, without eating rice, and almost fainted. The doctors looked back and forth, their tones cold, "Still not moving." "If I had left it now, I would have been disemboweled. But at that time, no one chose this path until it was a matter of life and death. The senior old doctor in the hospital surrounded him, and all kinds of instruments were pushed in front of him, Yu Mei was frightened, how could she have ever seen such a formation. Xu was frightened, and gave her some strength, and finally gave birth to Chen Xiaohe.

On that day, the snow began to clear in winter. Ms. Chen, who was born in the town's only hospital, said she still remembers looking out of the window of her ward that day, the roof was covered with more than a foot of snow, and the eaves were covered with more than a foot of ice. She took it upon herself to give me a nickname called Ling Ling, but in the end, the head of the family, my grandfather, gave me a name that symbolized the foreign spirit of that era: Little Crane.

Three days later, father Chen Jianqiang and aunt Chen Jianhua used two small carts to push Yu Mei wrapped in broken cotton wool home. The road was full of mud, and the cart was about to sink into the mud after a few steps, and the mud splashed on her aunt's ass from time to time, and she was very unhappy, she did not like the task that her grandmother had given her. Dad was silent in front of him, and he kept pushing the cart hard, and he had already thrown off his aunt a lot.

As soon as I turned into the narrow alley, I saw that my grandparents and a bunch of oil bottles were already waiting at the door, the second uncle Chen Jianping was lying on the only big stone at the door and gnawing on the ice, and the third uncle was climbing the wall, grabbing the ice cubes on the eaves, and fighting while grabbing. As soon as he saw that his family was back, he suddenly surrounded him, and his grandfather stepped forward and slapped him on the head, "Little rabbit cubs are all hiding away from me!" Grandma came over to hug Chen Xiaohe, "A little girl, born for so long, is used to tossing people!"

Grandma brought Yu Mei ten big pancakes, and a bunch of torn cotton jackets and torn cotton pants for diapers, at that time, the Hou family was poor, and the broken sheets were always mended and mended, and they were reluctant to take them out and pad the child's buttocks. "Take care of it, and do less work in the past two days. Then Grandma drove home with a bunch of rabbits. As for the aunt, they didn't know where to run when they saw their grandmother. In this family, my father is the eldest and my aunt is the second, and the rest are a bunch of half-grown children, and my aunt is the only girl, but she is wilder than the boys. At that time, my aunt was fighting with my grandparents, for two reasons, one was that my aunt fell in love and fell in love with a young man next door who came to my grandmother's house to help work, and my grandmother thought that the young man was short and did not agree;

Yu Mei didn't have the life of her aunt and grandmother who were well raised. Changsheng only rested for half a day, and went to work the next day, and everything in the house, my food, drink, and Lazar were still under her management. On the morning of the third day, seeing that I was asleep, Yu Mei went to the shack to make pancakes. When Yu Mei and Changsheng got married, they were given 2 bags of corn from their grandmother, and if they wanted to eat this corn, they had to grind it into flour first, then beat it into a paste with water, and then grind it into a thin paste on the stone mill, and then spread it into pancakes one by one before they could eat it in their mouths. Rural people live a hard life. As for confinement, that's just a reason, and whether it's unreasonable or not has to be said separately. The ten large pancakes given by my grandmother have long been eaten, and I am waiting to drink the northwest wind after a break. The pot is also boiling the small rice that grandma has worked so hard to exchange with other people's families, which is a big supplement in the confinement. After spreading out half a pot of pancakes and scrambling two more eggs, I woke up. Crying in the house, my mother quickly scooped up a bowl of small rice, picked up some broken eggs, went to the cupboard to add a spoonful of brown sugar, and hurriedly brought it to the house. Put down the bowl and pick up the pink baby, and the mother's face is like a girl. Having a child at home is such a blessing for a young mother.

Within a few days, Grandma came. Before his ass sat down, he talked to his mother, "It's okay to give birth to a girl in the first child, I can help you work in the future." Look at when you have to think about having a second child, what about this rural woman, her status is unstable without a son, so it's good to pull it together sooner. Yu Mei was very beautiful in her heart, "Mom, I don't want to be too early, Ling Ling still has to breastfeed, and she has to be one or two years old." ”

When Chen Xiaohe was one year old, her aunt had already married, and she was still married to a young man as tall as her. Grandma didn't try her hard in the end. My aunt is actually ingenious, she embroidered a full set of big red mandarin duck pillows, quilt covers, bed sheets, pillow togues, and other things are also neatly prepared, so I don't need grandma to worry about it. At this time, the focus of the whole family has shifted, that is, to help the second uncle of the family prepare to marry a wife.

The second uncle is lazy. Because there are many children in the family, the second uncle successfully got the indicators in his grandfather's factory and became a worker, with a small salary. It should have been able to fill the family to some extent, but the second uncle will always only hand over a few pieces of money every month, grandpa asked him where to make all the money, the second uncle said that he kept to marry his daughter-in-law, in fact, the second uncle took it all to invite colleagues in the factory to eat and drink. Grandpa hated that iron could not become steel, so he thought that it would be better to find a daughter-in-law to take care of this bastard son, but he didn't expect that it would take a lot of trouble for the second uncle to marry his daughter-in-law.

The first step in marrying a daughter-in-law is to build a house. At that time, it was easy to build a house in the countryside, and there were many brothers in the family, and many people contributed to it. Two bedrooms and a living room, plus a shack and a small side room in the yard, uncles and brothers came to help, and the month was built up, just waiting to find a daughter-in-law.

Blind dates are a must. The second uncle had a slippery brain, and he said he didn't like it when he saw several of them. The first time I saw him, he looked like Zhou Zheng, but her voice was a little flat, and the second uncle said that she was, and she spoke like a little mouse who had just learned to pull the erhu, with small eyes and low eyebrows, and put together the whole little mouse that pulled the erhu. I saw another one, and the person was also clear and beautiful, and the figure was exquisite, and the second uncle came back and said that this woman had high cheekbones and pointed chin, and she looked fierce, and she was born not to smile, and she was blind with a face. Every time I heard the pick-and-go formation when the second uncle came back from a blind date, my grandmother slapped him on the head a few times, "Just hello, just hello! The ribs are removed and there are no taels of meat, and I can't see the shadow of Qian at work, waiting to find Chang'e!"
