"Xiaoli, why are you crying, who bullied you? Grandpa coaxed Hongyun softly, that kind of strong love came to his face, this is a feeling that Hongyun has never felt in later generations, just a simple sentence, can make people feel such a strong feeling.

"Grandpa, my mother has gone to work in the fields, and I will help you call her. Hongyun said in a thick nasal voice.

"Xiaoli, grandpa is at home with you, waiting for your mother to come back. Grandpa patted Hongyun on the back and let her slowly calm down her excitement.

Alas! When I am old, I can't stand the sensationalism! In later generations, I rarely cried, but when I was almost forty years old, I was prone to sadness.

"Xiaoli, where are your brothers and sisters?" asked my grandfather.

"My sister went to cut the pigweed, and my brother went to play. Fortune replied.

Grandpa looked at the mess in the courtyard, "Xiaoli go play next to it, and grandpa will clean up the yard." ”

"Grandpa, I'll help you. "Hongyun went and brought a broom. Then the old and the young happily cleaned the yard and the house, and then cooked.

When the family returned, they saw that the yard was neat and tidy, and the smell of rice was fragrant.

"It's me who is here!"

"Grandpa is here!"

were all pleasantly surprised, Hongfang and Hongzongchao rushed into their grandfather's arms. It seems that my grandfather is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"When did you come? Li Xiulan complained, this is also the person she cares about the most besides herself.

"I'm fine, I feel bad when I don't move. Grandpa said, "I'm ready to cook, you and cotton hair stir-fry some food." I'm going to cook some pig food to feed the pigs. After speaking, I went to get bean cakes and sweet potatoes, and in this morning's work, my grandfather already knew more about the placement of things at home than Hongyun.

At this time, pigs are more expensive than people, and they eat better than people, and the family's annual income and the growth of fertilizing crops in the field are all counting on pigs.

"Xiaofang, you go to your third grandmother's house in front to cut a dollar of pork, and get more fat. Li Xiulan gave Hongfang a dollar and told her to hurry up. Hongfang died of happiness when she heard it, and she couldn't eat meat a few times a year, and every time her grandfather came, she brought delicious food, and the meat at home could be eaten several times.

Hongfang ran away in the blink of an eye, and Li Xiulan went to the field to pick vegetables, and her grandfather had already put the bean cake and sweet potatoes in the pot and boiled them. Hong Zongchao was looking through the things his grandfather brought.

"Xiaochao, put it down, it's not allowed to rummage through grandpa's things, it's rude. Hong Mianfa came out of the kitchen and happened to see this scene, and immediately stopped drinking. When he went up, he twisted his ears and dragged him to the wall, "Stand here, and don't move until you eat." ”

Grandpa heard the movement and also came out of the kitchen, "It's okay, the thing is just to buy for Xiao Xiaochao and a few of them to eat, and I don't want to beat the child." ”

"I'm big, I'm going to spoil him. "Hong Mianfa respects his grandfather very much, and his grandfather helped their family a lot, that is, these three earthen houses were built with the support of his grandfather.

"Children's families are to be pampered. "Grandpa is very good to children, and he will not be patriarchal," you go into the house to see if the pig is eating. "Hong Mianfa has no choice but to compromise.

Grandpa walked to the side of the bed, opened the package, and took out the small snacks he bought, at this time the snacks were rare and expensive, and beckoned Hong Zongchao, "Xiaochao, come, eat." After speaking, he also called Hongyun, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, "Xiaoli, come and eat again." ”

Hong Zongchao smiled and ran to his grandfather's side, "It's better to be grandpa." After speaking, he picked up the snack and couldn't wait to eat it, but he choked on it when he ate too quickly.

"Slow down," Grandpa quickly poured him some water and gave him a smooth breath, "Don't worry, there's a lot." ”

At this time, Hongfang came back from buying meat, saw the dim sum, gave the meat to his father, and hurriedly came out to eat the dim sum, "Grandpa, it's so delicious, you're so good." "It's still a sweet mouth.

The dim sum is too sweet and greasy, but most people like this taste at this time, so Hongyun ate a few bites and stopped eating, and then watched his grandfather serve the second snack dim sum. In the age of poverty, the eyes of adults lit up when they saw food, let alone children.

Not long after, Li Xiulan came back, and when she saw this scene, her face was not good-looking, "Eat immediately, don't eat, I won't have the stomach to eat later." After speaking, he put away the snacks, leaving the three little ones and one old man staring.

"Grandpa, my mother will be eaten by rats when she puts it away. Hongzong said in a super whisper in his grandfather's ear. Grandpa smiled helplessly, this daughter has given birth to several children, and she still likes to eat alone.

Hongyun remembers that when he was a child, he could often find moldy snacks in his mother's cabinet, and every time he asked her, he was embarrassed to deny it, and he would beat the child and say that he was rummaging things. I remember that once a neighbor said that he saw Li Xiulan buy beef and asked Hongyun to go home to eat it, but he saw his mother Li Xiulan wiping her mouth on the road and asked her what the meat she bought, and Li Xiulan said she didn't buy it.

It's all hard times, and I must earn money as soon as possible, so that the whole family will no longer eat rarely, and eat as much as they want.

The episode passed quickly, the meal was ready, the family ate around the table, with the small snack just now to cushion the stomach, a few children were not so hungry for meat, such a large piece of fatty meat, bigger than a lean slic, Hongyun looked disgusting, and simply stared at the green vegetables to eat.

"How many days do you have to harvest the wheat?" asked my grandfather.

"It's only been two or three days, and I've already asked for leave, and I can cut the yard after pressing it. Hong Mianfa replied.

At this time, teachers and children have microphone leave, and government cadres also have microphone leave. At the beginning of the eighties, productivity was still very low, and wheat was still threshed by human and animal power. At that time, the cost of cement was very high, and there were basically no in the countryside, so it was all mud houses. There is no ready-made wheat field, and when wheat is harvested, it is necessary to temporarily lay a solid foundation to make a wheat field. There is a common wheat field, but the wheat harvest season is not enough, a village should use a stone roll over and over again to compact several temporary wheat fields, the rolling ground is not allowed to run around and play, the commonly used wheat field also needs to be reprocessed, it is the mud soil that is trampled on by rain and becomes loose and uneven, the wheat field should be rolled by stones, the wheat grains fall off, but the wheat grains do not fall into the mud. At that time, it was really every grain of food that was so precious, and only those who came from the poor era had such a profound understanding.

After eating, I rested for a while, leaving my grandfather to watch the good luck, the other two children went out for a wild run, and the two adults went out to press the wheat field.

"Grandpa, let's go cut mint, mint can be sold for money, and buy delicious food and clothes for grandpa. "Fortune coaxed my grandfather.

Grandpa listened to Zhile and promised good luck. Grandpa took the small horse and sickle, Hongyun took the pot of hot water (the military kettle when Hongmian was a soldier) and the pocket and went straight to the river, which was won by Hongyun, and his grandfather wanted to take it all. On the way, I also met Aunt Osmanthus, who was also cutting mint, said hello, put down the little horse, and let my grandfather sit. I started cutting it myself.

"Xiaoli, don't cut yourself, grandpa will cut it. "My grandfather started to think that he had cut it himself.

"Grandpa, sit down and watch me put on a show for you. "How can Hongyun let the old man in his eighties work and watch it himself. I don't know that in front of outsiders, she is a little doll of three or four years old, although at this time the rural children have started working at a very young age, and it is not so young.
