"Xiao Chao, Xiao Chao, wake up. Don't fall asleep and catch a cold, as soon as you catch a cold, you have to take injections and take medicine, look, there is a large flock of birds over there, ......"Yan Fei's mother Lin Xiumei woke up the younger son on the back of the eldest son, for fear that the little guy would make trouble again. "By the way, I still have a toffee in my pocket, do you want to eat it?"

Yan Chao was dazed, and it took a lot of effort to open his eyes and glance at his mother: "Mom, have you arrived?" What delicious food did my aunt's family make for us, did you have steamed rice?"

Lin Xiumei couldn't cry or laugh, took out a candy and handed it to him: "Hurry up and eat it! Eat a candy first, and it will be there in a while." ”

After speaking, he turned his head again, and the amiable expression just now suddenly became willow eyebrows: "Yan Wenhai, are you a gentleman, what are you walking for?"

Yan Fei was very interested, and stopped to greet the weak father behind him: "Dad, come and carry things for me!"

Yan Wenhai is still far away from them, and there are not many things to mention, that is, two packets of fruits, two packets of sugar, and two packets of milk powder that are commonly used by relatives during the New Year.

But just look at the road under his feet to know why he has a bitter face. It snowed again during the New Year, and now the snow under my feet has been trampled on. The snow turned into water on the dirt road, and after a few days of trampling, you can imagine what the road was like.

Now Yan Wenhai's brand-new leather shoes are no longer the same, and the trouser legs are covered with mud.

Usually at home, he is the head of the family, but when it comes to the need for physical strength, this weak scholar-type head of the family has undoubtedly become a dragger - this is a big tragedy, the head of the family, being called by his wife, does not even dare to say a word.

Who let Lin Xiumei inherit the genes of the Lin family, she has been dancing knives and guns since she was a child, and her body is better than him!

When he came over, Yan Fei hurriedly stretched out a hand and asked him to take the gift he was carrying. This time, Yan Wenhai was silent, and handed over the gift half-pushed and half-handed over on the spot, not saying that it was no problem for him to carry it.

Things are not sinking, but if you walk on the mud again, that kind of taste is only known to the person concerned.

A family of four and three people walked, not walking at all, but also jumping. You must try to step on the dead grass on both sides of the road, so that you can get less mud, and you can avoid the kind of "trap" that looks the surface and can't be seen by your foot and neck when you step on it - this kind of "trap" can be seen everywhere on the dirt roads in the countryside in winter, the weather is cold, and the upper layer is frozen hard in the morning, but you don't know if you don't step on it, and you will definitely be shocked when you step on it. Hell knows how deep it is, and it's not uncommon for a whole foot to sink in.

Originally, as soon as the new highway from Sanchahe to Tanghe County was opened to traffic, the relatives of the Yanlin family were lucky and became a village relying on the road. Although it is still a little far from the road, when the road was being repaired, the villagers discussed it and paid some money to repair the road from the village to the road.

But this year, Lin Xiumei has an aunt, and in that era when the mu produced 100,000 catties but there was no food to eat and starved to death, the family moved to other places. I used to come back occasionally to see it, and I never stayed at home for the New Year. I don't know what's going on this year, the whole family is back for the New Year.

So Yan Fei's family had to leave this relative.

Seven or eight miles, I walked for more than half an hour, and now I can barely see the village in the distance that seems to be in the fog.

Yan Chao was lucky, lying on his brother's back and dozing off - as far as the eye could see, except for the road, there was snow white everywhere. The heavy snow covered the wheat seedlings, and the children who grew up in this place would not be interested in such a sight at all.

What is covered in silver, the earth is vast, that's what the people who see the scenery say. I really have to carry things, rush on such a road, and ensure that all poetry is destroyed by the muddy road.

Lin Xiumei felt sorry for her son, and when she saw Yan Fei taking the gift, she reached out and was about to come over to grab it, but Yan Fei dodged it: "I'll just carry it, Mom, you and my dad go ahead, it's almost there." ”

"Look, Yan Wenhai, look at how much our son knows that he feels sorry for you......" Lin Xiumei didn't grab anything, turned her head and nagged at Yan's father unrelentingly.

Yan Wenhai had nothing in his hand, he suddenly relaxed, stomped his feet on the dry grass with muddy water on the side of the road, and said with a smile to his daughter-in-law: "Let's go quickly! Come on, I'll hold you, don't accidentally step on the mud puddle!"

"Hmph, you still hold me, I think you're afraid of falling into the pit!" Lin Xiumei glanced at him, but stretched out her hand. "Come here, I'll hold you, really. I don't know, I really think you're from the city......"

Seeing the two of them holding hands and walking cautiously on the road, Yan Fei smiled and said to Yan Chao behind him: "If you don't sleep, I'll catch rabbits for you to eat when you go back at night, okay?"

Where are today's children still like before, a piece of candy can be bought!

Yan Chao didn't eat the candy at all, he was squinting his eyes and was about to sleep, and when he heard Yan Fei's words, he immediately came to his senses: "Really?"

"When did I lie to you?" Yan Fei asked rhetorically.

"Brother, you're so nice, I'll give you the candy to eat...... the little guy said, he took out the candy cube, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into Yan Fei's mouth without hesitation.

"You eat!" Yan Fei tilted his head and dodged.

"I don't even want to eat it, I still have it in my pocket!" Yan Chao grinned, he must let him eat it.

Yan Fei was not polite, opened his mouth to bite the candy, and said while eating: "You put your arms around my neck and don't fall down, I'll take out some beef jerky to eat!" Hurry up, don't let our mother see it." ”

Yan Chao was very experienced in being carried, and his two arms hung on him as soon as he hugged him, and he stretched his head forward from behind his shoulders, and whispered with his mouth open, "Hurry up and ......"

Will the younger brother of the owner of the beef jerky factory be short of beef jerky? Definitely not.

However, Lin Xiumei didn't let him eat more, the little guy had a small amount of food, and the beef was not easy to digest, so he was afraid that he would get sick if he ate too much as a snack. Those who usually guard against stubbornness are only relaxed now during the Chinese New Year.

The old husband and wife over there took their hands, and Lin Xiumei didn't frown, but reminded in a whisper of concern from time to time: "Slow down, there's a puddle there, is there water in your shoes......?"

Yan Wenhai listened to her daughter-in-law's prompts silently, and followed what her daughter-in-law said without saying a word, jumping over a small puddle from time to time.

The little guy on Yan Fei's back had beef jerky, and immediately began to shake, and the scenery that he didn't want to see just now also became a beautiful scenery, pointing to the sparrow flocks foraging on the snow from time to time and shouting for Yan Fei to see.

The family of four walked like this, and soon walked into the village.

In fact, Yan Fei can still have a little impression of this aunt, but he is quite unfamiliar with that aunt. It is said that this aunt was in that era, and the family was gone. In particular, my father jumped into the well for watering in the vegetable garden outside the village in the winter, and before jumping in, he took off his padded jacket and autumn trousers, folded them neatly and pressed them with a clod of soil and put them at the mouth of the well.

So I went out and didn't come back for many years.

The family's house, which my aunt occasionally came to clean up, was still an old and dilapidated small tiled house, with earthen walls and big cracks in some places. It looks like it's been patched recently, and it's obviously not completely dry.

Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I am all affectionate. This aunt's family originally had two children, which is also the reason why they were able to run away from their hometown ruthlessly.

However, the two Yan Fei who should be called cousins and cousins didn't come back, so the old couple came back to take a look. Thinking that this old man who Yan Fei should be called his uncle, he has never passed that hurdle in his heart a few years ago, and now that he is old, he probably wants to return to his roots.

It's not just the old couple in the house, there are also many relatives from far and near who are here to help - after the old couple went out, they actually mixed well outside, and now the two children are said to be serving iron rice bowls. Because this aunt came back in the past and spent money generously, these uncommon relatives are now maintaining themselves well.

It's a little far away from Sanchahe Township, Yan Fei didn't see anyone he knew, so he sat honestly in the corner and became a good baby.

But when the old man has nothing to say, he likes to find Yan Fei and his brothers to ask some questions, which are all common words. After chatting for a while, he began to stuff the two of them with New Year's money. Fifty dollars per person, this kind of big money is considered a lot now.

Yan Fei pushed a few times, and the old man had to stuff it, so he could only take it. Speaking of which, this is the largest amount of New Year's money he has earned this year, and the others are all ten yuan.

Speaking of New Year's money, Boss Yan's identity is useless. In the countryside, giving New Year's money is based on generations, no matter how capable you are, as long as you are not married, the elders will give the New Year's money - this is also the sadness of some older leftover men and women later, whether they are white-collar workers or bosses outside, just because they are all people who go home alone, even if they are all Ben San, or even over thirty, there are still old men and old ladies who give New Year's money.

Yan Fei chatted with this uncle for a few words, and there was nothing to say - this uncle was obviously not very good at chatting, and the two of them chatted and chatted to death.

simply pulled Yan Chao to play, and then pointed to a few trees in the courtyard outside, and told Yan Chao what kind of trees they were.

Everything for cooking at home is newly purchased, and the pot is still an old-fashioned stove. At noon, the neighbors came to help, and there were a few chaperones for the meal.

After eating, Yan Fei continued to pull Yan Chao out with interest, wandering around the village, looking at the time to go, and then went back.

As a result, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the familiar uncle who had just eaten a meal shouting: "Those are just nonsense, can practicing that one make people have enough to eat? What magical powers are fake, don't be honest and hard to get rich, and make these crooked ways, I can't say anything about it?"

Then came my aunt's voice: "What are you yelling about, you haven't been able to come back all these years, and as soon as you come back, you will toss, and you won't be able to spend the New Year in peace." ”

There were still a few people in the house, who were also accusing the old man, and it was very lively.

Yan Fei didn't want to go in, but when he heard the people in the house getting more and more angry, Yan Chao looked uneasy again, so he pulled Yan Chao in quietly and stood next to him and listened for a while.

Because this is the first time to come, the people around him are not familiar with it, and Yan Fei's parents have not expressed any opinions, they are all persuading. Seeing the children come in, the voices of the people in the room were quieter, but soon they became noisy again.

The people who were still amiable just now were blushing when they were arguing. When Yan Fei understood, he immediately felt that this was simply nothing to do.

It turned out that the reason for the quarrel was that someone in the village practiced a particularly magical "qigong".

This "qigong" is so magical that it is said that the founder almost changed his name to Pangu and opened up the world.

It is indeed nonsense, but the people in this village believe it very seriously, and some people go home and take out the "teaching materials", take the tapes, and carry the tape recorder to verify the authenticity of their "qigong".

Yan Fei's uncle is also a bit extreme, insisting that this is a deception. It's not a very wealthy village, and they are usually reluctant to eat more meat, and they still buy these messy textbooks and audio tapes, and even some people who don't have tape recorders have to buy tape recorders.

At first, he argued that this "qigong" could cure all diseases, and later began to argue whether the founder of this "qigong" was a liar.

That is, his uncle had to say that people were liars, and these relatives, who were still amiable just now, began to quarrel with him. It's just that this uncle's eloquence is not very good, and when he is said to be angry, he will say "liar".

There's really no reason for this.

A few years ago, when qigong was hot, everyone practiced it. But at that time, people in the city practiced more, and people in the countryside didn't have any money, so they just messed around.

Now the village has just had some money, but what is it, it is still 108,000 miles away from a well-off life!

As a result, there are piles of textbooks and boxes of audio tapes, which is simply not taking money. Yan Fei's aunt also felt that it was not easy for the people in the village to make money, and it was not easy to spend some money like this, it was like throwing it into the water, which was a pure waste.

But he was not eloquent, and he did not speak in the right way. These people in the village are willing to spend money to buy this "qigong" textbook tape, which is not cheap. If you don't really believe it, how can you spend money so indiscriminately?

This old man still thinks it's true, and he actually holds the "teaching material" and begins to tell these people that this point must be false, this point is impossible, this point is absolutely nonsense......

The people who have fallen back to their roots have not come back all these years. Now that he finally came back, he must have felt that he was thinking about the people in the village. But he didn't want to think about it, people don't eat meat at home, and would rather buy these things, can he persuade them with a sentence or two?

Yan Fei casually opened a "textbook", but before he could turn it, Yan's father slapped the book and took it away: "What do ......you think you are doing here?"

He didn't know what to say, he wanted to say that it was a lie, and he was afraid that others would hear it, so he thought about it and said, "Why are you not sick to see this?"

As a result, the aunt came over immediately, Yan Fei remembered that this should also be called an aunt, and the textbook began to introduce them to them: "You see, this is created by Master Li with great painstaking efforts, and for the good of our people, this miraculous skill was passed on." If you want to put it aside, this is all a secret that people don't pass on......"
