Chapter 1 The Bright Moon ---- the Old Garden 1

1、

"Hey...... Brother Red Army, you walk slowly, be careful that there are stones on the road......" The beautiful and continuous mobile phone alarm broke the silence of dawn, and Mrs. Qian got up in the alarm. The Lunar New Year has arrived, and it is the time for the children to return to their nests. Mrs. Qian was tidying up her clothes and urging her wife, who was still pretending to be asleep, to get up.

"Old man, get up, what day is it, don't pretend to be asleep."

The old man pretended not to hear it, and continued to stay still, Mrs. Qian was a little unhappy and nagged: "Don't pretend to be asleep, old thing, you can't wake up, isn't it!" The old man cried out, "Oops! …… It's still so early, don't sleep, what are you doing when you get up, and sleep for a while! ”

"Fart early, get up quickly, eighty people are in bed, lie in bed all their lives, is it so difficult to get out of bed? Get up and work, the children are almost home, the duck's feet have not been broiled, the pig's head has not been burned, and the yard dam has not been swept yet."

"What a word!"

"Long-winded, isn't it? I think I want to take a cool shower again! If you don't get up, I'll help you! ”

"Hey...... Yikes! I've fallen to the blood mold of eight lifetimes, and in this life I married such an unreasonable and domineering woman as you, and I didn't let people sleep a little longer for the New Year."

Mrs. Qian's name is Qian Lichun, when she graduated from junior high school at the age of seventeen, she met Li Renzhi, who was one year older than her who studied Chinese medicine with her father. After coming and going, it escalated to eyebrows, and Qian Lichun's mother saw this situation, so she simply fulfilled the two of them. The brothers and sisters of the year, for decades, jingling, noisy, civil and martial arts, the drama is like cabbage, the longer the time, the thicker and denser, although the outer layer is old, but the inner layer of cabbage is more tender and sweet and crispy. Qian Lichun's method of cleaning up her husband made Li Renzhi unforgettable, and soon after getting married, because she didn't get up, the woman directly poured a large basin of cold water on him, making him rebound like an electric shock. Now that he is old, he has long since done that, but the sequelae left by his early years are really unforgettable for him! In the middle of winter, the most uncomfortable thing to get up is to put on those cold clothes and be comfortable in the bed, if the old woman is not at home, he would rather be suffocated by urine! Now I have no choice but to get up quickly.

The old man got up, put on his newly bought down jacket, put on gloves and opened the door. The cold air rushed to his face, and the old man couldn't help but shiver, but he felt exceptionally refreshing, so he picked up the big broom by the door and cleaned it up in the yard. A tame big dog, following him closely before and after, chased the tip of the old man's broom, and happily ran and jumped left and right. He meticulously cleaned every corner of the yard. The yard covers an area of about half an acre, there are five main houses facing south and back, five small chambers in the east and west, there is a cement floor about 5 meters wide in front of the main house, a path more than one meter wide extends out from the middle of the main house, the two sides of the road are vegetable fields, the yard dam hits the floor with concrete, and some unknown grass grows coldly in the crack of the floor. The old man sometimes danced the broom, sometimes leaned down, and struggled to pull a handful of grass that grew out of the crack in the floor, and the old man put down a ball of grass, and the dog rushed up and picked it up and galloped out, put it down and galloped back. Continue its running and jumping from left to right.

While tidying up the courtyard, the old man looked into the distance from time to time, and Sun Li Village slept quietly. In the distance, the rolling mountains are still only slightly outlined, the mist rising like a ribbon of water moves slowly on the river, white cranes and wild ducks glide above the river in pairs from time to time, and the fields near the river are lush with green rape growing in the mist. The neighbor's old grandson and his lame wife strolled around the tall honey locust trees in the barnyard, perhaps waiting for his son who worked on Wall Street, waiting for the blue-eyed fat daughter-in-law who spoke a changed Chinese dialect, and the yellow-haired grandson who was curious about everything when he saw "daddy" and "mommy". Li Laohan thought: Lao Sun Tou is really, he finally got a son, and he fucking ran to the United States, Wall Street is rich, what if there is money, his wife is not fucking lame for a lifetime, this is also strange, a lame woman can also make a "Wall Street", a few days ago someone heard that Lao Sun Tou's house was going to be sold, and a bunch of fools raised the price to the sky. In the distance, the old grandson saw Li Laohan looking at the door, and shouted excitedly:

"you, Lee, Cam, Cam (Good morning come)"

The old man understood that Lao Sun was calling him over, and responded: "I'm busy, don't be Cam first, my baby wants Cam, I'm going to clean it up, and I'll be Cam another day, isn't your son Cam?" ”

"I don't know, we're waiting for him, Walcam, (welcome)".

Since his son went to the United States, Lao Sun Tou has been studying English hard every day with those college students and village officials, and he will use Chinese-style English to cool everyone else. Li Laohan scolded psychologically: "Dog, what can you do, there is an American devil who will ...... sooner or later." No matter how good your children are, they come back every year, no matter how good "Wall Street" is, you can't go back if you want to, no matter how good Wall Street is, you go to the United States, why don't you just live there. When people are old, what are they trying to do, isn't it just a picture full of children and grandchildren? All day long, you will brag and spise it, and see who will bury you when your old guy dies. He didn't think much about it, over the years, the relationship between the two families is still quite harmonious, although they are a little unconvinced in their hearts, but when there is anything going on in each family, they are all contributing money and efforts, and they are busy. When the son of the old grandson came home, the uncle complimented him with a long uncle, and sent a lot of gifts, and he visited and greeted him.

Over the years, Li Laohan clearly felt that he was a little powerless, in the past walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, to see a doctor for the livestock of the surrounding people, never felt tired, now take a car to a few miles to go to the doctor, I feel a little tired, the years are not forgiving, after all, it is seventy-eight years old, many old guys went to see Marx before the age of seventy, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the feng shui here is good, although seventy-eight years old, except for the occasional chest tightness cough, the body is quite tough.

"Old man! Phone! "My wife, Mrs. Qian, called at the door.

"What's the call?"

"It's not your son, you feel sorry for your son, do you think your son cares about you? Anxious monkey-like, Li Xiaohong's cow in Mengjiawan is about to give birth, tell you to deliver the baby"

"Don't go! Don't go! Damn, it's early, it's late, it's the twenty-third day of the lunar month, it's a fucking mess, Lao Tzu still has a big push today"!

"What's a lot of things, don't you just want to see your son and grandson as soon as possible, you give your own seeds, weird people, family planning is your master, if you don't go, you don't pay attention to it, and other people's cars will go to the barn immediately."

Li Laohan looked a little reluctant, as his wife said, he really missed his son and grandson. But Li Xiaohong's cattle are indeed his own breed, what can he do, it would be too unreasonable not to go, besides, there is money to be made for this Chinese New Year, how good, how auspicious, go, why not go. Although he complained a little and was more or less contradictory in his heart, he still had to do this craft, not only to do it, but also to get all the money back, it didn't matter if his son and grandson met two minutes later, even if he was in a hurry to see his children and grandchildren, it would not be bad for a while.

Li Renzhi originally studied Chinese medicine, and later taught himself veterinary medicine, because of the foundation of Chinese medicine, his veterinary level is quite exquisite, and then famous. Relying on this craft, he raised five children, and now the four children are married, and the eldest grandchildren have children, so that he has no confidence in meeting people is the marriage of the youngest daughter Li Yuedi, it is really a big problem, the dead man was in his teens and the son of the old grandson Sun Ce squeezed his eyebrows, and later, he went to college, went to the United States, and married an American woman, but this dead man is not dead, he is thirty-nine years old, and he is still flying solo, singing in the east and acting in the west all day and night, for a while Tiannan, for a while Haibei, Now that I have entered the finals of Rookie Avenue, after passing this hurdle, I can't fly solo anymore no matter what, and if I don't get married, this life will be over. When they thought of this, the old couple was upset, and when they saw her, they were angry.

"The old woman will prepare my medicine box." The old man put away his hygiene tools and yelled at his wife, who was still in the house.

"Do it yourself! I have a big push for it!"

Li Laohan knows that even if his wife doesn't do anything, the old woman will not help him pack up the medicine box, but if he doesn't give such an order, it seems that there is something shortcoming, the old couple is like this, often you are long and I have nothing to say, Mrs. Qian has long been accustomed to this kind of order from the old man, and has never taken this kind of order seriously. She knew that the old man told her to do this and that, which was equivalent to saying hello and indicating his whereabouts. The old couple has been like this for decades, and they seem to be a little disobedient, and they don't care about each other's disobedience. However, whenever the two need to cooperate, that kind of cooperation is quite tacit.

While speaking, the phone rang again, and Li Xiaohong's car had already driven to the grain drying field. In recent years, the rural traffic conditions have been greatly improved, and the rural asphalt road has connected the villages, although the road is relatively narrow, but on the small road for a few miles, you can get on the highway. A few years ago, when the road was being built, the peasants' land had to be expropriated, and some people were not happy, but now the things of each family are in and out, and they are all using cars to pull goods, which is very convenient. In those days, it was very difficult for farmers to raise funds to build roads. According to the original highway design, it cost 580,000 yuan to build the highway in Sunjiawan, three-quarters of the local government contributed, and the villagers needed to contribute 150,000 yuan. Therefore, the road design is relatively narrow, only 2.5 meters. The extra 350,000 yuan of "Wall Street" plus more than 80,000 yuan voluntarily raised by the villagers, the villagers used it to widen the road by two meters, the road width of Sun Li Village is 4.5 meters, plus the curbs on both sides of the road, almost 6 meters wide, there is no problem with the vehicle turning around, the neighboring villagers are very envious, and the old man of Sun Li Village proudly said to others, "There are many rich people in our village, are you angry?" Useless! ”

Sunli Village is located in the hilly area of eastern Sichuan, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the population is dense, and the per capita cultivated land is more than one acre. When a man reaches the age of marriage, he can't find a partner, and young men in places with slightly better conditions outside look down on the girls here, so the boys and girls in Sunli Village often produce and sell their own products. There were more than 2,000 people in Sunli Village when the population was large, and now all the families who study and work have gone to the city, and there are less than 500 people in the village at ordinary times, and most of the people left behind are the elderly and children. In recent years, the threshing field has become a parking lot for each family, and the villagers regard the village committee station on the threshing field as a natural club, and several college students and village officials have little to do. In addition, he led hundreds of ten elderly people here every day to read newspapers, play mahjong, teach the elderly to video chat with their children, watch online videos and so on, and live happily.

Li Laohan entered Li Xiaohong's cowshed at dawn and was busy at four o'clock in the afternoon. The old heifer has poor contractions. Li Laohan used oxytocin, punctured a drip of uterotonic from the veins of the tripe, the contractions were strengthened, after the water broke, the calf's hooves showed signs of exposure, he entered the birth canal with his hands, first grabbed the calf's hind hooves, and then slowly pulled the buttocks, body and head out, and the delivery went smoothly. Li Xiaohong was very excited when the calf was born, but the calf's afterbirth made them wait for three or four hours. So for a whole day, Li Laohan didn't leave the cowshed for half a step, he was so tired that he didn't want to say anything more, so he refused Li Xiaohong's wine and delicacies, and charged 200 yuan in wages. got into Li Xiaohong's car and hurried home.
