Xu Xuecheng sat on the bed, rubbed his dizzy head after a hangover, pinched his ridiculous wrist, and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, June 23, 1980.

What is the situation? On the original site of his two-and-a-half-story bungalow, how can it still be a vegetable field? Wasn't this old courtyard house burned down by a fire 20 years ago? It's just that he drank wine with a group of fox friends and dogs, and this is back to a few decades ago? This year, he was twelve?

Xu Xuecheng felt that he must have woken up yet, well, yes, lie down again.

In summer, the days are very long, the sun has not yet set, the uncles and aunts who work in the courtyard have returned, and the spatulas and iron pots have begun to fight, crackling, and the aroma of rice slowly wafts out from the rice retort (steamed rice, popular in all parts of the south, usually made of wooden sticks).

At the end of the day, there was no food in the stomach, and the hungry stomach was protesting, gurgling.

"After learning, your head is still burning, if you don't burn, get up and eat quickly. "The familiar voice, the face that is already a little blurred, is this face, like the other women in the country, with a yellow and thin face, with a gust of dust, how long has it been since I saw it? plus the previous life, maybe fifteen or sixteen years.

Xu Xuecheng thought that he had almost forgotten about this woman, he had graduated from high school in his previous life, and he was considered a high-talented student at that time, looking like the eldest of his own second, everyone in the village looked down on him, and everyone was illiterate, and he felt that he was a "highly educated" talent of course going out to break through, but when he arrived in the society, he knew that he was a fart, and he wasted half his life, or found an ordinary woman outside, lived an ordinary life, did not go home for more than ten years, and did not even leave a child to his parents, which can be said to be sorry for the ancestors.

"Mom~" When the words came to my mouth, I didn't know why I choked, as if I had a breath choked in my chest, I couldn't spit it out, and it was uncomfortable and tight.

"Alas, here, why are you still crying, are you still so burning, next time you go out with Dede to fool around, let your dad break your feet. "Mother Wang Meilan is very quick, and she can get the rice ready in a few minutes, sweet potato leaves, sweet potato fries, and sweet potato soup!

"Okay, I won't go out next time~" Somehow, hearing the voice that he hadn't heard for more than ten years, Xu Xuecheng choked up, and wanted to laugh again, crying and laughing, but when he didn't pay attention, the snot squirted out, put it on his mouth, and licked it "Well, it's salty!"

"How old are you, how old are you, and you still want me to wipe your snot? Hurry up and come over for dinner!" The mother pulled down her face, this child didn't fight for three days, went to the house to uncover the tiles, and lay down for a day in the middle of the heat, and was still here in a daze, it seems that the skin has been a little tight recently, and it needs to be loosened.

The meal is a solid wood table of eight immortals, thick enough, made of pure pine, but don't get me wrong, it is not a precious piece of furniture, the most important thing in the countryside in this era is all kinds of wood, the family is divided into a small hillside, there are a lot of pine wood, the furniture is built by the carpenter's father himself, this era, not valuable!

The rice is steamed out of sweet potato rice mixed with sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes are enough to eat in this era, and they are not difficult to eat.

The dish is also a sweet potato, but there is an egg, the shell is thin and white, and it is placed in Xu Xuecheng's large porcelain bowl.

Mom was furious, and knocked the bowl hard with chopsticks, "Still stunned, hurry up and eat, and after eating, I will send it to your father with Lao Mo (the youngest child is called Lao Mo in the south)." ”

Father Xu Shigui is a carpenter, when he was a child, he was sent to learn carpentry from the next village, and after doing the work in the club, he often went to the nearby villages and towns to do some carpentry to subsidize the family, people are honest, but they are lazy, but fortunately they married a wife who can manage the house, and the family is still passable.

Xu Xuecheng is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger sister named Xu Feiyan, who is only seven years old, and the name is said to have been given by his grandfather.

In this era, the two brothers and sisters in the family are very incredible, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, it is ugly to say, in this era, they can grow up smoothly without starving to death, and how many boys can support their parents for the elderly, and it is too unsafe to have one.

However, when his mother gave birth to him, he suffered a great disaster, dystocia, uterine bleeding, fortunately he had a friend of his grandfather, otherwise this family would really be scattered, that's it, Wang Meilan also lay on the bed for three months and couldn't get off the ground, and there was no danger when she gave birth to a daughter later, and then there was no rebirth.

Lao Mo squatted at the door to pick sweet potato leaves, and by the way, he made the sweet potato porridge to be eaten tomorrow morning, a bowl of rice, two catties of sweet potatoes, and a large pot of water, this is the sweet potato porridge that accompanied him throughout his childhood.

"Brother, brother~ Mom asked me to go with you to send miles, wait for me. Xu Feiyan saw that Xu Xuecheng was going out, and she didn't seem to have any intention of calling her, so she quickly dropped the sweet potato vine in her hand, and rushed up like a windmill with two bamboo pole legs and pounced on him.

It's getting dark, and Xu Xuewei didn't want to bring this oil bottle, but he came with him, so let's bring it together

When the rice was delivered to Zengjia Village next door, it was almost cold, but this summer was not so particular, and the "Sulu" was eaten in a few bites.

Xu Xuecheng looked at the man with a head full of sawdust, and his thoughts flew back for a while, it was the last day before he went out in his previous life

"I don't care, I'll go out tomorrow, don't stop me, I won't listen to you!" At that time, he was determined to go out, feeling that it was really boring to stay in this rural area, and felt that a big city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou was the place where he could display his ambitions, and no matter how bad it was, he had to go to the nearest Shangrao.

"You dare, walk out of this door, and you will die outside for me!" Xu Shigui usually rarely moved, but that night, Xu Xuecheng clearly remembered that the anger on his face was so distorted that his facial features were distorted.

"Even if you die outside, it's better than staying in this broken village!" He was also strong at that time, some people would say that he was young and frivolous, but looking at Xu Shigui, who would cook in the dust, Xu Xuecheng knew that he had no conscience, and his parents raised a child in vain in their last life.

"Dad~"

"What's wrong?" Xu Shigui finished picking up the sweet potato rice in the bowl a few times, drank the sweet potato soup, took out the dry tobacco bag, shook it, took out a handful of tobacco and poured it, and prepared to take advantage of the meal to have two shots.

He also made the pole of dry tobacco himself, and took the bamboo root near the bamboo whip, where the bamboo was tough and burned. Then open all the holes, dig a hole in the root, stuff the tobacco into the hole when you smoke, light the fire, suck it, swallow the clouds and spit out the fog!

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the clouds, Xu Xuecheng choked up again, he felt that he was too hypocritical, a big man, oh, now it's a boy, there is that time to be sentimental, it is better to live a good life now, no matter how bad it is, I have to let my parents live a rich life, I don't have to eat sweet potato rice with sweet potato soup three times a day, and I don't have to whisper for my nine yuan and five cents tuition.

"It's okay, I'll take Lao Mo back, the final exam will be the day after tomorrow, Mom asked me to go back early!"

"Well, let's go, look at the road on the road, take a good look at your sister, take the test!" Xu Shigui shook the cigarette stick, shook off the cigarette ash, refilled it, and then continued to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

"Yes, let's go!"

When I walked back, it was already dark, and there were frogs chirping all around, and in the darkness I could only see candles flickering and fireflies flickering.

"Brother, I'm afraid~" Xu Feiyan will lie on his back, thin and pitiful, she doesn't even have a few taels of meat on her buttocks, she is the most afraid of the dark, there is an insect and bird by the window, she doesn't dare to sleep, and she will go to her mother's bed at night, if the adults are not there, she will stay in Xu Xuecheng's house and not leave.

"Don't be afraid, my brother is carrying you~ Lao Mo is the most well-behaved, tomorrow my brother will catch fireflies for you!"

"Hmm~!"

Xu Xuecheng remembered a poem: "The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming." In my last life, I looked at the cement building for decades, but I didn't find that looking back, this bright moon in my hometown is so bright and fascinating.

He secretly clenched his fists, "In this life, I must live like a person!"
