163. Love and life are together

"Mom, what's the fun game you're talking about?" Xiaoyu's life in the countryside these days can be described as very happy, and the children have become more lively and active.

"It's just smashing the apricot pits. Mom will teach you to play with your cousin later, okay? ”

"Yes, yes, but I can't play, Mom." Xiaoyu is not confident.

"It's very simple, you can learn it as soon as you learn it, your smart head is not for nothing!" Shandan touched Xiaoyu's big head.

"Hehe, don't worry about the rain on the big head, you have an umbrella, I have a big head!" Xiaoyu remembered what her mother taught her when she was a child.

"Didn't we buy apricots in Beijing to eat, and my mother told you to collect the apricot kernels and play with them? Now it's going to come in handy. You go find the apricot kernel, find your cousin and cousin to play with, and your mother will prepare the venue for you first. Shandan instructed Xiaoyu.

"Okay!" Xiao Yu happily rummaged through the apricot kernels she had collected, and shouted loudly: "Brother, come out quickly!" My mom is going to teach us how to smash the apricot pit. ”

Shandan cleaned a flat and clean place at the root of the east wall, dug a round pit two inches square with a small shovel, and put about five or six apricot pits, and the three children were already waiting to see how to play.

"Gu Bo, let's teach the children how to smash the apricot pit." Shandan shouted into the room.

"Good! Here it comes. Gu Haiping agreed and walked out with great interest.

"Come, row up and stand, I'll tell you how to play." Gu Haiping began to talk about the rules seriously: "First of all, you divide all the apricot pits into three equal parts, one person takes one portion, and I will see how many apricot pits there are?" ”

Counting from Xiaoyu's hand, there were a total of 32 apricot kernels, Gu Haiping asked Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you say, how many of the 32 apricot kernels should you get?" ”

"It should be 10, no, 11." The little cousin replied.

"Dad, you can't get rid of it, 32 can't get rid of 3. 3 plus 2 gives 5, and 5 is not a multiple of 3, so it can't be separated. Xiao Yu said with big eyes flashing.

"Yes, 10 for one person, how many are left?" Gu Haiping looked at Xiao Yu.

"Two." Xiaoyu immediately replied.

"That's it, Xiaoyu will distribute: 10 for each of you, and put the remaining two at the bottom of the pot as a public one. And one of you will put one of you into the pit. Gu Haiping participated in it seriously.

Divide the apricot pits into equal parts and place them at the bottom of the pot. Gu Haiping taught the children: "Come, start the game, each of you take an apricot kernel out of your own hands, and smash the apricot kernel in the pit hard, as long as you can smash the pit out of the pit, whoever smashes it out will belong to whom, and when the bottom of the pot is empty, you will put it in one by one, and play like this over and over again." Do you understand? Gu Haiping explained meticulously, while smashing an apricot kernel into it, and "snapped" an apricot kernel in the pit was smashed out. Several children shouted excitedly: "Here we come, here we come!" ”

Shandan peeked at Gu Haiping's focused appearance, hehe, this childlike man.

The three children scrambled to play, and the sound of chirping quarrels came and went, and Shandan and Gu Haiping walked out of the gate holding hands, bathing in the dazzling and warm sunshine of the Mongolian plateau.

It's been a long time since the two of them have walked alone like this, and life is always busy and chaotic, almost drowning out the face of life itself. The last time the two walked hand in hand in a leisurely mood had faded out of their memories.

They slowly walked across the road in front of the door, walked all the way forward, walked to the primary school in front, and walked to the small stone field when Shandan first came to Gu Haiping's house.

I can still remember a National Day more than ten years ago, the first 7-day long holiday, when they were in their prime.

The two took the green box train to the county seat, and then walked two miles home. Walking in the slightly cool late autumn, the warm sunshine of the Mongolian Plateau is sprinkled on the body, with a heart of love, happiness and passion.

The young years when the ten fingers intersected, every day walked together, every subtle look in Shandan's memory, these warm, happy details have always accompanied Shandan's life, as long as she is still there, her life has not left, they have always been.

She remembered the time when they were quarrying with their family, and they didn't know they were tired.

The gravel in the riverbed is still shining, take off your shoes and socks, walk up slowly, feel the warm and jade texture coming from the soles of your feet, and then go up to the old site of the regiment headquarters, the pine trees inside seem to be more lush, and a few gray squirrels are bouncing on top of the pine cones. All of them are so harmonious and beautiful, and the passage of so many years has not changed the appearance of this place.

Time seems to have gone back to the past, she is still a naughty little girl, he is the ambitious young man, they are sweetly looking forward to the future under this hill, they want to go to the land of birds and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, the land of water and moon like spring all year round, they want to have the happiest home in the whole world.

Now, it seems that everything has been achieved, and there are only two people left to enjoy their lives together. Sitting at the foot of the hill she sat on many years ago, Shandan rested her head on Gu Haiping's broad chest, she was so content and grateful! In this life, she should be grateful for God's mercy for such a possession, she is an ordinary woman, she can get the wholehearted love of such an excellent man, and her life is complete and even perfect.

Gu Haiping stroked Shandan's long hair, he fell in love with this somewhat simple and willful woman in his arms, he watched her grow up from a girl who did not know the world, and now she grew up in the kitchen with the hall, he was growing up with her, he slowly got her meticulous care and deep love in the process of her growing up, he slowly changed from the pampered at the beginning to no longer can do without this woman full of motherhood, his heart was full of her love, He no longer has the slightest space to squint at the other people of the opposite sex in his life. In his eyes, they are all the same characters as Chinese cabbage, and they can't move a little ripple in his heart.

She is a woman worthy of his wholehearted love and care, her efforts, her growth, her kindness, her understanding, her reasonableness, her more and more charming temperament, her wholehearted love for him all intoxicated him, and every time he thought of her, he would indulge in sweetness. So when Mr. Dai talked about his style, he felt that he had insulted him and their pure feelings, and he also felt very funny. With him and her, they can't deviate in the slightest on the track of their lives.

After being married for so many years, they feel that the time together is so precious and insufficient, and the time together must be cherished every second.

Shandan has invested in raising children and Gu Haiping's hard work in his career, they have been using their limited time to increase their horsepower and run forward all these years, like two clocks full of clockwork, walking tirelessly. Finally, they have laid a solid foundation for life and the future, and they can finally stop and rest and start living leisurely.

"When we are all in our seventies and eighties, it would be wonderful for us to come back here and sit in the autumn sun and bask in the sun!" Shandan squinted his eyes and imagined what it would be like for them to be old.

"Hehe, we won't be basking in the sun here at that time, I'm going to go to Europe with you to bask in the sun, we're going to live in a castle by the sea, play with crabs on the beach every day, dig and dig seashells, and then snuggle up together like this to bask in the sun." Gu Haiping also squinted and looked forward to a comfortable life in old age.

"Hey, do you think the moon abroad is rounder than China? Or is the sun in Europe warmer than in China? Still going to Europe? Shandan teased.

"Hehe, no, when the time comes, I will go to Europe, the social welfare is good, we have no worries, and we will not increase the burden on the children, with my ability, I will live a good life, a little old man with a little old lady, travel around the world, beautiful." Gu Haiping buried his face in Shandan's hair and sniffed her hair greedily.

Shandan is also intoxicated, she closes her eyes and enjoys this rare leisure, from marriage to Xiaoyu, they rarely have the opportunity and mood to feel each other, and now back to his hometown with the protection of home, Shandan's heart can more or less rest for a while. She no longer has to worry about the safety and life of her children every day, and she no longer tightens the strings in her head, and finally she can take a break.

Some time ago, there were vicious injuries in kindergartens and primary schools across the country, which made Shandan even more nervous, she didn't even worry about Eminem picking up Xiaoyu, she personally picked up Xiaoyu for a stage, which made her exhausted, Gu Haiping was also very nervous, and when she was not by her side, she was always worried.

One Saturday, Shandan's mobile phone was automatically turned off when there was no power, the fixed phone at home was shut down in arrears, Shandan didn't notice that the mobile phone was turned off while cleaning, Gu Haiping, who was far away in Chongqing, called home, one couldn't get through in the morning, one turned off, and he was so anxious that his heart jumped out of his chest, he even almost bought a ticket to fly home, and then had to find someone from the department to come to the house to inquire about the news, and he was relieved to learn that the mother and mother were safe.

That was the first time Gu Haiping was very angry, angry, and yelled at the phone for more than ten minutes, and Shandan also listened honestly, she understood his worries and worries.

After staying at my grandmother's house for a few days, the family rushed to the riverside grassland before Shandan's aunt visited. It will take a day to return to the riverside grassland.

The road from Hohhot to Jiang'an grassland has been built into an asphalt road, and taxis can also return to the grassland directly from the county seat, so it is much easier to walk than the original dirt road. It is said that a particularly large reserve of oil and gas deposits in Asia has been detected near the riverbank grassland, so governments at all levels have invested heavily in laying a road network before preparing for exploitation.

As an ethnic autonomous region, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region not only has its own characteristics, but also has the inclination and care of various policies, and it also has its own unique resources. These include coal, rare metals, steel, animal husbandry, and the various industries and economic entities derived from them.
