Time has passed, and when I remember the situation when I just returned to my hometown, I was silent for a long time, and I don't remember many things. It feels like that time is a blank space, and maybe people are always choosing to forget something. I don't remember what it was like to go to my hometown, I don't remember the people in the village, I don't even remember where I lived when I first went back. I only remember the past, the village, the people, the voices of the grandparents, the jokes of the neighbors, and the water and fish in the pit.

Once...... The beauty of the past is still there, as if only the beauty remains. When I first went back, I didn't remember who I played with, I didn't remember going to the pit, and I didn't remember what my grandparents were like at that time...... Memories begin on that night.

After dinner, in the old courtyard of my grandparents, my mother took my sister and me to stay in the yard, my grandmother was at the door of the hall, and in the house, my grandfather, father, second uncle and third uncle all lowered their heads and smoked, grandpa's expression was not good, and it was rare to see grandpa not smiling. The father said, "Dad, you can speak, I will listen to you." Then the second uncle and the third uncle echoed and said, "Well, Dad, you say, I will listen to you." ”

There was very little contact with the second and third uncles, and when they were in Shanxi, they came to see their father, the second uncle went to work in another coal mine at that time, and the third uncle worked at a construction site in Shanxi. When they were fostered in their hometown before, none of them were at home, only their aunt was there. My aunt is my father's younger sister, and when I returned to my hometown, she was already married and was not there.

Didn't pay attention to what they were saying. The next day, my father took me to a house on the east side of the village, which was facing the northeast corner of the big pit in front of the village. There was a lot of wood and branches in the aisle on the east side of the house, and I helped my father move things inside. The wood and branches must have not been moved for a long time, many of them have rotted, and some of them are buried in the soil or covered with decaying wood.

Remove the wood and branches, and there are a lot of tide bugs underneath. A villager passed by and said to his father, "That wood can be used as firewood when it is brought out." The father said, "Ang, this can be burned." Then I looked at the villager, whom I didn't know. The father said to the villager, "It's thick in here, and the insects will bite their legs when they stand in it for a while." The villager said, "Well, there must be insects, and this wood has been sitting here for several years." The father came out and took out a cigarette and said to the man, "What are you up to?" and "I'll go to the east side of the field and see if everything has been moved?" said the villager to his father as he smoked his cigarette. My father said, "I didn't move, I packed up first, and the house was also cleaned and moved." The villager said, "Oh~ Okay, then you are busy, and you will be notified when you move." "Okay~Okay~, talk when the time comes. Father said. "Okay, then I'll go. The villagers said they were leaving. My father said, "I'm smoking a cigarette." He said and pulled out a cigarette. "No, no, isn't this still smoking? Get busy. The man waved his hand, shook the cigarette in his hand, and left.

After removing the wood from the east lane, my father opened the door. You can open the house and start with a concrete floor, but it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and many places have built up the cement one by one. There was also some wood in the house, as well as a table and a bed, which must have been lived by someone. The father moved the bed and table out, swept the floor clean, and smoked a cigarette by the window of the house and looked out.

I looked at this house, the roof is inverted V-shaped, a large beam is erected in the middle, and there is another one inside the earthen wall on the east side, and there is a door about half a meter wide, which is a three-room tiled house. The white plaster painted on the walls has been raised and denatured in many places, and many places near the bottom have fallen, revealing the red bricks inside. Looking out, there is no courtyard wall, and through the empty space in the corner of the big pit, you can see far away.

Later, with the help of some people in the village, the furniture in the grandparents' east side house was moved here. The mother watched, and set it up in the room, and a large bed was placed near the window on the west side of the room. Grandma moved a large porcelain basin and went back.

After everyone was busy, my mother smiled and said, "Let's all come in and rest, look at this, I just moved here and can't give you a drink, I'm really embarrassed." The helper said, "It's nothing, it's not like that when you just moved here." That, I don't stop stopping, I'm busy with a lot of things, so I'll go first. The mother hurriedly said, "What's the hurry, I'll play at home." "No, no, let's go." So saying, he walked out. The mothers went to the door and said, "I'm sorry for you." "What's the trouble, it's not troublesome, don't send it away, go back quickly." "Everyone said to their mother. "Okay, okay. Mother said.

Watching everyone walk away, my mother went back to the house and said to my father, "Look at someone, let's build a stove, build a kitchen, and we have to eat." Also, we still have to dig a well, we don't have water to eat. "Hmm. The father replied, "I'll go find someone." There are some bricks in this yard, and these bricks are almost enough to build a kitchen. I went to buy some asbestos tiles to cover on the top and used them first. ”

My sister wasn't home for a few days, and my parents and I were squeezed into the same bed to sleep. The night in the countryside was very dark, and a person walked by in the alley, causing a dog in the alley to bark constantly. When there was a moon, a ray of moonlight shone through the window into the room, silver and white.

I don't know where my father bought the asbestos tiles, and I don't know how he bought them. The small kitchen was quickly covered, and two people mixed some mud, woven the stove, surrounded the brick wall, and put on the sturdy wooden sticks, which were made of local materials, and many of them could be used. Then cover with asbestos tiles, and a kitchen is covered. The kitchen is very small, not as big as a room, only six or seven square meters. Then a pressurized water well was drilled to the south of the kitchen. The well is not deep, it is said to be less than seven meters deep.

After making it, my mother boiled a pot of boiling water on the pot and put it in a hot pot. In this space, my grandmother led some people to bring 15 bags of wheat in a wooden cart, and my mother asked her to put them in the east compartment of the house. At that time, it felt like 15 bags were a lot, and they were stacked quite high in the east compartment.

Watching the number of things in the house increase, the house was slowly filled. This time, the mother invited the villagers who helped deliver wheat to sit down and drink some water to quench their thirst. Inside and outside the house, everyone found a place to sit, said this, and looked at the furnishings of the house. The mother carried the water and was busy among the people.

"Things are put in place slowly, and it can't be done all at once. "I thought the uncle said. The mother said, "Well, this is to take your time, to eat, drink, and sleep, and to get what you need when you are lacking, so that no one can think so comprehensively." Then someone asked, "Have you gone to see the ground?" and the mother said, "No, let's go and find the house first." "How much land?" the man asked again. My mother said, "I have more than four acres of land, and there is a ditch and more than one ditch on the land of three people. The man said, "Four's land?" and the mother replied, "Three, my mother's wife, and his father has no land." "Oh, more than four acres of land is enough to eat, and his father still has a salary. The man said to his mother. The mother sighed, "Hey!" and said nothing else.
