Chapter 44: Uncle

Another summer vacation is coming, but this year's summer vacation is different, because Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin are going to Beijing for the summer vacation.

Early in the morning, Xiaoxi's uncle came back from Beijing, because there were still a few days to go on vacation, so he stayed at home to accompany his grandmother, he hadn't seen his grandmother for several years.

Xiaoxi still remembers going to her grandmother's house once in her previous life, when her uncle was still at home. Usually Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin go to her grandmother's house together, but after school that day, I didn't see Chen Yubin, because the two were not in the same class at that time, so it was normal to miss it. thought he went first, but when Xiaoxi arrived at his grandmother's house, he found that Chen Yubin didn't come, but went home.

The next morning, after dinner, my uncle helped tie my hair, but I was too young to tie it myself. Xiaoxi's request is a single ponytail, but Uncle No, he said that he was giving her a bag and a head (Uncle Luo was still young at that time, only fifteen years older than Xiaoxi, like a child), it was the kind of head with one on one side, like Nezha, Xiaoxi disagreed.

My uncle said that he wouldn't let him go if he didn't give it a tie, but Xiaoxi had to go to school. There was a stalemate for a while, there was no watch, Xiaoxi didn't know the time, and found that Teacher Luo under his uncle's house had gone out, Xiaoxi was in a hurry, so he angrily asked his uncle to tie his hair.

My uncle has good craftsmanship, the comb is very smooth, the two are the same height, and the hair loop with the hair coiled on the outside is very beautiful, which is strung with pink plastic beads, and a flower is engraved on each side of the beads. Seeing that the comb was ready, Xiaoxi hurriedly said goodbye to his uncle.

After walking a few steps and turning the corner, Xiaoxi thought that his uncle had returned, so he tore off the hair ring on his head. The hair is braided first with a hair tie and then coiled, so you are not afraid of falling out of the hair when you tear off the hair ring. The creek had just ripped off one and was about to rip the other.

"Brook, what are you doing with your hair untied? Behind him came the angry voice of his uncle.

Xiaoxi didn't want to tie that ugly hairstyle, and she was afraid that she would be late if she didn't leave. After all, I was still young at that time, and I was afraid of the anger of adults, so Xiaoxi was full of tears, rubbing back step by step, and complained as she moved back: "It's so ugly, I don't want to tie that hair." ”

The dragon couldn't overpower the snake, and when the uncle recoiled his hair, the stream was fired like a bullet. Finally, on the way to school, Xiaoxi angrily removed her hair.

After the exam, they played at home for a few days, went to school to get the papers and summer homework, and Xiaoxi said goodbye to their grandparents and followed their uncle.

Xiaoxi was wearing a sleeveless dress with green florals, and was carrying a palm-sized white bag, which was a match for a skirt bought at a school dance.

Chen Yubin was wearing the plaid shirt and gray shorts, and the two of them brought two sets of changes of clothes in their school bags.

Before leaving, Granny Chen was still holding Chen Yubin and crying, saying that she would come back early, and that she would listen to her uncle on the way, and that she would like to miss her, Xiaoxi saw her grandfather standing aside, although she didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of reluctance. Seeing that they were leaving, he took out the banknotes in his pockets, and each of them gave them ten yuan to buy water to drink on the way.

Uncle Luo took them back to Luojiawan's grandmother's house to say goodbye, grandma knew that they were leaving, and she was also crying and wiping her tears, and she wanted to give Qian Xiaoxi and they didn't want anything, and the uncle hurriedly stopped and said: "Mom, you quickly pretend to be up, I have money on me, what they want to eat, they will tell me, I'll buy it for them, your eyes are not good, you have to pay attention, take care of yourself......"

While my uncle was talking to my grandmother, Xiaoxi went into my grandmother's stove and put spiritual spring water into the water tank. Xiaoxi is the same in the last life as now, almost every other month, I will come to my grandmother's house, the last life is for money, every time I come to my grandmother's house, I will give pocket money when I leave the next day, this life is to take the opportunity to put spiritual spring water in the water tank, spiritual spring water has the effect of repairing damage. After two or three years of hard work, my grandmother's eyes can already see something vaguely.

Seeing that they were almost done, Xiaoxi pretended to take out a large drink bottle from her schoolbag, approached her grandmother, took her hand and put it on the bottle, and said, "Grandma, this is the wild honey that grandpa made in the mountains, let me bring it to you, and we still have it at home, saying that you want to drink it and think it's good, and I'll give you some more." You make a bowl of warm boiled water every day and drink it, it's sweet. He got up and put the bottle on the big table next to the bed, and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I put it here for you, you must remember to drink it every day." ”

The honey was actually produced in the creek space, a bee from my grandmother's house. The creek had been trying to get some beehives, but no one had been found to do this, and the first few bees in the space were now huge, although the creek didn't have beehives, they had hives hanging from the branches of the big tree behind the hut. I don't know if they know that Xiaoxi is the owner of this space, they are very close to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi goes to fetch the honey from the nest, and they also let Xiaoxi take it.

Before leaving, Xiaoxi also left two large plastic bottles of honey at home for Grandpa and them to drink. Grandpa Chen's appetite has been spoiled a lot by the things produced in the space in recent years, and he knows that the things in the space are good, so how can he not eat them. And there must be more than this in the creek, so in the next month or so, Grandpa Chen will have to soak a large cup of honey water every day. After drinking for two days, Granny Chen saw it and tried to drink it once, and her mouth was sweet and sweet, quenching her thirst, which had the first time and the second time, and Granny Chen also developed the habit of soaking a cup of honey water every day.

So in those days of more than a month, I often saw two old people arguing over a spoonful of honey. Finally waiting for Xiaoxi and them to come back, Grandpa Chen hurriedly asked Xiaoxi to give him a cup of honey water first. Of course, that's for later, and I'll talk about it later.

Grandma's eyes could see a vague shadow, and she saw a white shadow standing next to the big table, and she had been blind for so many years, and every corner of the room was deeply rooted in her mind, so she nodded to indicate that she knew.

Xiaoxi returned to the bedside with a smile, held her grandmother's hand, and said playfully: "You must remember to drink it every day, I will check it when I come back, you can't be lazy." ”

Grandma couldn't help but be amused and patted the back of her hand, "You are a ghost, I know, I will drink it all tomorrow." After a pause, he took Chen Yubin's hand and told them, "Be sure to follow your uncle on the road, be careful not to lose it, and don't talk to strangers......

Knowing that her grandmother was not at ease, she said a few words over and over again, Xiaoxi was not impatient, and listened to her very carefully.

After a while, the uncle and other people came, it was a pair of mothers-in-law and grandsons near their house, who also went to Beijing, knowing that Uncle Luo came back to take the Xiaoxi sisters and brothers to Beijing, so he let him take the mother-in-law and grandson, after all, the two were also the first time to go out and take the train for the first time.

The little boy was a year younger than Chen Yubin.

In the reluctance of my grandmother, several people set off with bags on their backs.

When I arrived in the county seat, my uncle bought several bags of soybean flour, as well as pepper powder and chili noodles, which were brought to Chen's mother, and also bought a box of sandwich biscuits. Several people took a bus to the city, and the train was to get on from the city.

Seeing that it was still early, several people sat on the lawn in the square outside the train station. Seeing that the sun was slowly going down, Xiaoxi wondered why they hadn't gotten into the car yet.

Pushed the uncle who was sleeping soundly next to him, "Uncle, what time is the car?

Uncle Luo opened his eyes in a daze, yawned and said, "It's still early, it's the night car." As he spoke, he pulled out the train ticket in his trouser pocket and showed it to Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi took the ticket, looked at it and saw that it was clearly written at seventeen:forty-five, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what time is it?"

Uncle Luo raised his wrist and said nonchalantly: "It's still early, it's only ten past six, and there are still more than an hour." ”

Speechless, Xiaoxi handed the ticket in his hand forward, "It's still early, what time is the car?"

"Isn't it past seven o'clock?" I remember......" Uncle Luo glanced at him absentmindedly, and suddenly couldn't speak, and got up and froze in place.

The pair of mothers-in-law and grandsons next to them came over, and the mother-in-law asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Luo cried with a sad face, "Auntie, I missed the time, our car has already left." ”

"What? Oh, you see I'm illiterate, I don't know the time, what can I do?" patted his thigh anxiously, the first time he went out, after all, he was a little flustered.

Xiaoxi hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, don't worry, uncle, go and see when the next train is?"

"Well, I'll take a look. Uncle Luo got up and carried his bag to the lawn.

He didn't go to the ticket booth, but to the phone booth and called his sister, Chen's mother. told Chen's mother what happened, and Chen's mother scolded him and said, "Okay, I'll give you another sum of money, you go and buy a ticket for the next trip, it's not that I said you, you are so old, you have to be serious......"

After returning to the lawn, Uncle Luo said, "There are still tickets, it is more than one o'clock in the morning, but there are only standing tickets." ”

The mother-in-law said, "Okay, as long as you can get a ticket to Beijing." Then you go buy a ticket, buy it for me, I won't ......"

"Wait a while, my sister will send me money, I'll have to wait a while. ”

After a few more hours, Uncle Luo got up and went to buy a ticket, and when he came back, he brought back two small horses, because it was a standing ticket.

In order to save money, and it would be a few hours before they got on the bus, a few people made do with sleep on the lawn.

Xiaoxi asked Chen Yubin to sleep on his lap, then took out a few clothes in his schoolbag and covered him, and asked his uncle for a watch, she didn't dare to sleep now, for fear of missing the car again.

I'm afraid that I'll fall asleep, so Xiaoxi keeps eating, and sometimes I'm really sleepy, so I eat lemons, which is sour. Fortunately, there are shrubs here on the lawn, and it is not as brightly lit as it was later, so the place where they rest in the creek is a little dark, and it is not easy for people to see the movements, otherwise she will be seen taking things out of thin air, and she will not be scared to death!

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiaoxi woke everyone up, and then packed up their things, and several people entered the hall at the security check, lined up to check in and get on the bus.

After entering the carriage, Uncle Luo saw that the two opposite seats by the window were empty, so he hurriedly let the pair of mothers-in-law and grandson sit in one position, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin squeezed one seat, and Uncle Luo stuffed the bag on his body under the seat and sat aside with a small horse.
