It is impossible to take back the water that has been spilled out of the words. What is more comfortable is that I don't see my second aunt every day, otherwise I don't know what to say when I meet. My father went to make noodles with wheat, and when he came back, he had half a sack of wheat bran. Mother steamed a pot of steamed buns with freshly beaten noodles, the steamed buns were a little dark, but they tasted very fragrant and strong.

"Dad, Long and I went to Wulou, you cleaned up at home, and our cotton said that day to skim and never went. You see you have time to check it out. Mother said to father.

"Okay, the cotton skimming fork can be done one day earlier and one day later, you go to Wu Lou to bring Xia over. The father pondered for a while and then said to the mother: "You see if our brother's tractor is free, if you are free, we will use a few days to go to the east kiln to pick up some half bricks, and build a little bit of the courtyard wall." There is no one in the yard to block, whoever wants to enter can enter, and if you want to walk from the yard, you can walk from the yard, how can you do it. ”

The mother said: "The tractor should be free at this time, let the people on the kiln in the east pick it up, right?"

"Let it be picked up, other villages will not let it, and our village will let it." Their brick kiln is built on the ground of our village, and you can still pick up a brick. If you meet, just say it. Saying that, my father asked my mother, "You are going to go to Wu Lou from that road."

The mother said, "Let's take the big road, and I don't know if the small road is good or not." I thought about walking down the main road and carrying something with me. Buy some fruit or something, buy some milk powder for my mother. ”

"Okay. ”

After a slight pause, my mother, pushing the bicycle, called out to me, "Dragon, let's go." "Going north through the alley, I met the people in the village, and my mother and people were greeting. I didn't know who was in the back, and my mother told me from time to time who it was and what it was called. Then I was in the back, and when my mother said something, I shouted something.

On the main road, my mother got on my bicycle and I sat on the back seat of the bicycle. The back seat of the 28 girder bicycle is pimpled, and it is already a butt when sitting on it, and the road is potholed, and the butt is very sour when you walk. The bike doesn't have to ring the bell and squeaks and squeaks. There are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally agricultural tricycles and tractors pass by, and the sound of cars clattering on the road is not the sound of metal rubbing, but very harsh. The poplars on both sides of the road are tall, but the whole road is shaded by the trees.

Wu Lou is in the south of Xiwa Village, walk from the main road, go south from the intersection at the township cotton purchasing station, which is the only asphalt road in the township, connecting Huailin Town and the county seat. After shopping for something at the intersection, pass through Orchard Village and arrive at Wu Lou.

Grandma lives in the middle of the village and walks in the middle of Wulou Village. Mother got off the bike, and greeted people all the way for a long time, this family is short, and he will come again if he tells you. I followed behind, and it was boring to watch them open and close each other's mouths until their ears were buzzing. It was not a long distance from entering the village to grandma's house, and I walked for nearly an hour. When I arrived at my grandmother's house, my grandmother was playing cards with three old ladies in the house. My sister was sitting next to my grandmother watching.

The place where my grandmother lives is the old yard, the wall of the house is made of mud mixed with grass, and there are several layers of green bricks below. Grandma and they played a card made of plastic, similar to mahjong.

"Playing cards. Mother came into the house to say hello.

"Sanni is here, I'm done with this. Several people saw the mother and said.

"Fun, I'm fine. "Saying that, my mother introduced me to these old people once, this is your second grandmother, this is your third grandmother, and this is your eldest aunt. There were so many people, I didn't shout in turn, watching them scratch the back of their heads.

The mother smiled awkwardly and said, "The child can't speak. ”

"It's still raw, it's okay to take it slowly. How did Sanni get here?"

"Oh, by bike. ”

"From the main road. ”

"Aang, from the main road. Now I don't know if the path is easy to walk. ”

"The trail is easy to walk, it hasn't rained for a long time, and there is no mud on the road. Far from the road. ”

Mother looked at her sister and asked, "Is it okay to live at your grandmother's house?" ”

My sister said, "Okay." A small mud house where my grandmother's family lives. ”

"Haha, she hasn't seen it, it's the first time it's rare to live strangely. "It's in line with what my sister said. "The girl is really obedient, and she is not noisy or noisy, I am playing cards here, and she is watching from the side. ”

"She's meaty, unwilling to move. Mother said.

When my sister saw me coming, she called me out to play. It just relieved my embarrassment. "Don't go far!" Grandma told us. The mother said, "It's okay, let's play." ”

There are more than a dozen jujube trees in front of my grandmother's door, but in fact, the jujube trees are planted in the opposite yard. But that house didn't have a courtyard wall, so I went out and played there. The whole alley is very dilapidated, and most of the people living here are old people. Broken bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere, and the corners of many houses had fallen off, and grass grew on the roofs of houses. During the time I came to my hometown, I got to know the village and the people of the village. I didn't see him on the spot, but when I met, it seemed that there was something to say. My mother told me that when I saw someone, I had to say hello, otherwise they would say it.

My uncle didn't live with my grandmother, he lived in the south of Wulou Village. I have two cousins, the older one is in junior high school, and the younger one is in junior high school at the beginning of the school year. I guess I'm going to school soon. I don't know what the school is like here.

Seeing the card player leave my grandmother's house, my sister and I went back to see my mother talking to my grandmother.

"My brother is at home. ”

"No, it's on the ground. Have you cleaned up your family?"

"What do you mean to clean up, now there is food and drink. ”

"Have you broken up?"

"It was divided into the hall house that I built the earliest, and there was no courtyard wall. His father said to pick up some bricks and build the courtyard wall. He doesn't need my brother's tractor. ”

"Tractors don't work at this time. Divide it among the houses, and divide the land, right?"

"Divided, more than four acres of land. ”

"That's fine. It's okay to be away from home for so long. Let's go over there. Let's see if your brother has come back. ”

Wulou Village is larger than Xiwa Village, with a village of about 1,000 people. The villages in the southwest of Shandong are all natural villages, which do not follow the rules and develop from the places where the landlords and long-term workers of the old society lived. Decades have passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the village has become bigger and bigger, and the young people are reluctant to live with the elderly, so they all go to build houses around the village. As a result, the houses in the middle of a village are dilapidated and the alleys are narrow, and the surrounding houses gradually have a new look, and the roads have become much wider.

There will be pits of different sizes in the four directions, and this pit is not dug casually, according to the Yin and Yang Bagua Feng Shui, there is a certain amount of attention and certainty. However, I feel that the pit must have been dug to cushion the house, and the foundation of the old house was much higher than the new one.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, my uncle was at home. When he saw us coming, my uncle said, "Yo, I'm here." When did you come? ”

"Uncle. I shouted, "I've been here for a while, at my grandmother's side." ”

"Brother, you've come back from the ground. My sister-in-law isn't at home. ”

"Ang, the fields are not busy now. It's coming, isn't it? Your sister-in-law is skimming flowers in the field, and she hasn't come yet. ”

"I'm here to pick up the Kasumi. Brother, you don't need a tractor these days. Long's father wants to use your tractor to pick up half a brick and build the courtyard wall. The place where I live doesn't even have a courtyard wall, just a hall, and it looks like a temple from a distance. Mother said to her uncle.

My uncle said, "I don't need a tractor during this time, he drove my tractor." The brakes are not good, and the direction is very powerful. ”

The mother said, "Why can't you open it, just open it slowly." ”

Uncle's tractor was in his yard. The tractor head no longer has a shell, and the diesel engine is exposed, and it is covered with oil stains, and I wonder if this thing can still be used.

My mother stayed at my uncle's house for a while and talked to my uncle. My aunt didn't come back, and my mother said to my uncle, "I won't wait for my sister-in-law, let's go." ”

The uncle said, "What's the panic, your sister-in-law will come back after skimming the flowers." It's okay for you to let the two children live here. ”

"What do you live in, how can you always live in a relative's house. Let's go. Mother, I'm going back. Mother said.

Grandma said, "Why don't you eat before leaving." ”

"If I don't eat it, I'll go home and eat it. His dad is still at home. Mother said.

Then my uncle came out of the kitchen, "You take this bit of oil away." My uncle told my mother.

"Ouch, what do I want your oil for, I can buy it if I want to eat it, I still have it at home." ”

"You see, your family has just moved back and there are a lot of places to use money. This is the cotton oil I squeezed myself out of flower seeds, and you can take it back and eat it first. ”

My uncle wanted to tie the oil to the bicycle handlebar, and my mother went to grab it and tried to bring it back to my uncle.

"Look, old man, you let go, I still have cotton oil, you take these and eat, and I'll serve you after eating. ”

Seeing that the uncle was a little angry, the mother stopped what she was doing. When I went back, my sister sat on the girder in front of the bike, and I sat on the back seat of the bike. I admire that on that kind of road, my mother carried the two of us and rode very steadily.

The family of four couldn't sleep in one bed, and the father put the single bed in the previous room in front of the big bed. At night, my father slept in the small bed, and my sister and mother and I slept in the big bed. In this way, it is very similar to when I was in Shanxi.

My father then drove my uncle's tractor. When I got home, my father stopped the tractor and said, "This tractor is not very easy to shake, and it took several turns to turn away." ”

Mother said: "He has been using this tractor for many years, and our second brother bought it for him at that time." Old. ”

"Dragon, come with me and pick up half a brick. My father said to my mother, looking at me. At this time, my sister ran out of the house and said to her father, "Dad, I will go too!"

"What are you going to do, what can you do!"

"I'm going to play with it!" the younger sister was right.

The mother followed and said, "You tell her to go, it's okay at home." ”

"Okay, good, good, go, go!"

From the north road of the village to the east, you can see the big chimney on the brick kiln factory with a high pestle, and black smoke coming out of the chimney. Yards and yards of burned bricks and freshly made bricks were placed on the floor of the brick kiln. From time to time, from inside the door of the cave, someone pulled out a wooden cart loaded with burned bricks. In the distance, there are machines, pumping dirt up from the scoured pits. After the soil is drained, it is the raw material for burning the bricks.

My father drove a tractor and my sister and me. I didn't go inside, but walked along the edge of the brick kiln factory, where the cart that threw unwanted rotten bricks out of the brick kiln factory on the west side was pouring out. When my father drove a tractor to this side, he greeted my father in a loud voice: "Pick up half a brick?" and my father shouted at him, "Yes! He waved his hand and drove away.

Looking at the place, the father stopped the tractor. Looking at the piles of bricks, looking around. I looked around, around the brick kiln factory, and was dug around by the manufacturer. The soil was placed on the inside, and part of it had been pulled away by the kiln factory. Water seeped out of the remaining ditch, and it was like a moat in a circle. On the other side of the river in front of us, there were grave bags stacked over there, and there were no inscriptions, and there was no trace of burned paper money around the graves.

"Dad, whose graves are they?"

My father looked at the graves and said to me, "There are ownerless graves in that place." In the past, the brick kiln factory and the place you mentioned were all mass graves. During the natural disasters in the past six years, whoever died in the family would throw it here and not bury it. Some of the younger, as well as some of the bachelors from nearby villages, died and were buried in this place. At that time, no one came here at night, and even during the day few people came here. ”

What my father said was very scary, but in broad daylight, I didn't feel anything scary. Those grave bags are like mounds of earth, one by one, but in fact, those raised grave bags are very soft, and there is some grass growing on them, and they look fluffy from a distance. My father and I were picking up bricks, and my sister was playing and occasionally picking up two bricks. Take a few trips and take a break when you feel tired. In the courtyard, local materials and some mud were taken, and then the courtyard wall was slowly built.

Jumping into a new environment, how long does it take to get used to and get used to. Yu in front of my grandmother's house sometimes walked in front of my yard and always kept his head down when he saw me. I spoke to him, and he coped with it and hurried away. My mother once asked me, "Why don't you play with Renyou?" "I don't know what to say to my mother, but I just think it's weird, and during that time, not only You, but many other children in the village, saw me just looking from afar, and if I walked over, they would scatter and do their own thing.
