The early morning sun shines into the house, making people feel warm. Just as I was about to continue my stay under the covers, my mom walked into my bedroom. "Shanshan, get up. It's almost done today."

"I can definitely finish it today, we have a few more short-term jobs today," I hurriedly came out of the bed. "What kind of coolies, we can't say that, it's your classmates, they're here to play, you can't let them work!"

My mom is like that, she especially wants to save face. If I don't let me do it, I won't do it? That's impossible. I didn't say yes or bad, anyway, even if I did, my mom would just say a few words to me.

"Shanshan, here we are. Yingying, they are all dressed very casually, and they look like the clothes they wear for work.

"Yes, smell it. "I quickly added a few pairs of chopsticks.

Several people were also polite, and they just sat down and ate together. "Alright, the meal is over, you should go, we have to get to work," I said solemnly. "What do you think of us, are we the kind of people who don't eat and don't work?" Yingying pouted, putting her hand on Gao Hong's shoulder. "Yes, uncle, what do you do today? we can all help," he said, rolling up his sleeves so that we could see his muscles.

"Don't... Don't, you young people still have to do what to do, Shanshan won't let her do it today, let's go up Shanshan and take you around" said and put the bags in the car.

"No, Dad, they call it experiencing life. You see there are a lot of people today, and we are fast enough, and you haven't made me a barbecue for a long time, so we can eat barbecue tonight. ”

Yingying and they were even more excited when they heard that they were going to eat barbecue, and several people quickly asked where my dad was going, but my dad couldn't carry them, so he could only agree. A few people plucked corn and bagged corn, and they were very busy. Before the sun gets hot, we're done.

When I got home, I sat on the ground tired and couldn't get up. "Then you guys rest first, I'll go to the town to buy some vegetables and meat," Dad put down his tools and prepared to go out.

"Uncle, I'll go with you. Mu Xuan stood up and walked over.

"Okay, it's just a motorcycle, okay?" my dad scratched his head in embarrassment. "Yes, but I'll ride it, I've got it. Mu Xuan didn't care whether my dad agreed or not, so he took the key from my dad and started the motorcycle. When my dad looked at me, he found that he had no choice but to sit in the back seat.

"Hey, Shanshan. Do you think Mu Xuan is this a trick?" Yingying said with a tilt of her head.

"What is it," I pretended not to understand her, and began to prepare water to wash.

An hour later, Mu Xuan and my dad came back with a big bag of things. "I'll see what you've bought?" quickly went up, took the bag from Dad's hand, and prepared to open it. "It seems like you're all about food. After Dad finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Xuan, which seemed to mean that the vegetables and meat were all chosen by Mu Xuan.

"Okay, okay, don't even look at it. Hurry up and eat, and after eating, you have to prepare something for the evening barbecue" I feel like my mother is like a savior, which perfectly solves my embarrassment.

After the group quickly finished lunch, they began to prepare the barbecue materials. At five o'clock in the afternoon, we started to have a barbecue, and there was beautiful music playing in the yard, and a few people gathered around the campfire.

Dad sat at the barbecue grill and looked back at us from time to time. Mom was busy going in and out, and from time to time she still had things in her hands.

"Auntie, don't be busy, come and play with us" Xu Hang finished pulling my mother over.

"I'll forget it, you young people can play by yourself," he said, before leaving.

"I'll tell you, my mother's singing is good" After speaking, he quickly ran away, Xu Hang and the others heard me say that my mother sang well, and they all gathered around my mother and began to pry my mother.

My mother really couldn't shirk it, so she sang a song of Mao Ning's "The Sound of the Waves is Still", and after my mother finished singing, I heard my dad say: "Hey, I'm still old, and it's not as good as before." ”

"Uncle, who are you chasing with your aunt?" Yingying hurried over, and she smelled the gossip.

"Your aunt wasn't chased by me, I hit it with my bicycle. Dad began to speak proudly.

My mother has an older sister who married into my father's village, and after giving birth, my mother came to serve the confinement child, and when she was about to enter the village on a bicycle, she happened to meet my father leaving the village, and after the two of them gave way to each other, they fell into the cornfield together.

When we said this, we all looked at my mom. "It's not my fault, it's that you're going in the wrong direction," and after saying that, he went back to the house.

"Uncle, go on, what about later, why are you with your aunt again?" Xu Hang hurriedly asked.

"Later, I went to her sister's house to pick up tools, and I happened to hear your aunt talking about me inside. I also blamed myself for being too young at the time, so I didn't hold back, so I rushed in to reason with your aunt. If you go back and forth like this, you will chase your aunt to your hands. ”

"Oh, no. Uncle. You're too old-fashioned, and so is your aunt, so did you agree. Yingying said regretfully.

"I'm blind," I saw my mother holding a few blankets in her hand and handing them to us.

Although it was just October, there was a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and I finally wore half-sleeves, and I had to wear velvet at night.

After listening to my father's story, I looked at Mu Xuan and found that he was also looking at me. The two of them smiled at the same time, and looked elsewhere at the same time.

"Uncle, what did you play with when you were young?" Gao Hong asked curiously.

"We weren't as good as you are now. We didn't have lights, and as soon as it got dark, everyone went home. So, we all wrestled on the other side of the square while it was still dark. At that time, it was just a mound of dirt. Dad told us about it as he reminisced.

Like a curious baby, we gathered around the barbecue grill and listened carefully to my dad's story.

Think about it now, we have mobile phones, and richer families have computers. Life is getting better and better, and there are more and more things to play. However, the feelings between people are not so pure.

For example, neighbors who live on the same floor don't seem to speak a few words in a year, and they may not even know each other.

And the people of my father's generation, they live next to each other, and everyone will give each other the best food in the family during the New Year's holidays, and even if something happens at home, the first to arrive is the neighbors, "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors" is also the meaning.

Before we knew it, it was late, we hadn't heard enough, but it had to end. After a few people cleaned up the battlefield, they went to sleep, Yingying and Gao Hong slept with me, and Mu Xuan and Xu Hang slept with my parents on the kang.
