Kang's small courtyard five

The sun in the first month of the lunar calendar seems to have more heat than all the first months in the past thousands of years, shining on every courtyard of the small Kangjia Village in the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains, and the small courtyard of Qinwa's family, the most gloomy and desolate dead corner of Kangjia Village, is now bathed in the warm early spring sunshine like the large and small crops in Kangjia Village.

The wedding night passed, and in the twilight, Qinwa did not covet the warm bed, got up, and started to clean the latrine and pigsty. All the mystery that shrouded the sexes vanished and vanished. During the tedious ceremony of yesterday's marriage, I was restrained and confused, and now I think about it, and I even feel funny. He shoveled out the latrine, covered it with dry soil, jumped into the pigsty, drove aside the screaming black-shelled man, dug up the dung, piled it up to the corners of the circle, and covered it with dry loess, so that the dung nest would be made into a fine fertilizer, so that the smell of the dung would not spread into the small courtyard.

Doing all this, his heart is very steady. Standing in the front yard, he suddenly realized that in the past, his father dominated this small courtyard, and today, he is the natural pillar of this crop yard. His daughter-in-law and aunt gave him a new name, Yuxian, a diligent husband and a virtuous wife, to form a harmonious and happy peasant family. He had to pick up all the heavy work outside and inside the house, and let Yuxian do the housework between sewing and washing and pots and spoons. He wants to live a good life in this small courtyard, let his Yuxian live comfortably, let his old father spend his old age in peace, for the old man and for his wife, he is not afraid of hardship, why should the croppers live the sun and the moon?

He stood next to the pigsty with a shovel, admiring the black-shelled man with a strong body and hair, and was thinking in his heart, going to his father-in-law's house to return to the door today, and tomorrow it was time to apply soil manure to the wheat, and send the accumulated manure to the ground, it was time to thaw, and it was also the best time for him to carry the stone and beat the adobe.

When he returned to the courtyard, Yuxian was sweeping the yard with a rice broom, a flower jacket, green pants, and a printed blue handkerchief on his head. His heart was so comfortable, staring blankly at the graceful movements of this woman who was no stranger to sweeping the floor. As soon as she entered the courtyard, it became so warm and vibrant.

"Qinwa!"

Hearing his father call him, Qinwa walked into the house where his father lived, and his uncle and aunt were sitting in front of him.

"Qinwa. The father took the pouch of cigarette and said, "Tell the baby that the morning ...... Sensei come to me...... Pour the urinal......"

Qinwa smiled.

"That's as it should be. My aunt said, "Your dad ......."

"We don't pay attention to it. Our poor courtyard is so exquisite!" said his father, "I fell by myself, and I was happy." I'm not paralyzed......"

Qinwa is still smiling, what can you say, Dad is too good.

The sun was red, and he and Yuxian followed, carrying gifts, to the house of his father-in-law, Wu San, to return to the door.

Walking out of Kangjia Village, the wheat seedlings in the fields gradually changed color, the warm sun shone on the slopes and rivers, the patches of snow in the shady slopes left only a little remnant, and the leaf buds on the wicker became fatter day by day.

"Yuxian—"

"Hey—"

"Here you go...... Say ...... word"

"You say!"

"Our dad said ......"

"What are you talking about?" she was a little anxious, did her husband have any bad impressions of her first day?

"Our dad said ......"

"What are you talking about?

"Our dad said, you ...... in the future Sensei give him ...... Pour the urinal!"

"Oh!" Yuxian let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "What's the matter?"

"No. "He said he was on his own." ”

"My mother told me again and again, to serve the elderly, pour the basin in the morning, and bring three meals to the old man, to hand them over with both hands. If you want to sweep the yard and sweep the house, you have to ......" Yuxian said, "My mother's family law can be strict!"

"My father has suffered all his life, and he has never been served. "He wasn't used to being served by others." ”

"Hello Dad. Yuxian said.

As the two of them walked forward, they could see the bare branches of the tall trees in Wuzhuang Village.
