After leaving his hometown for decades, the scenery in front of him, when he first left home, he vaguely saw it in his dreams, and gradually stopped dreaming about it, after his father passed away, this place became a sad place, except for coming back to his father's grave, Li Manman didn't want to think about it.

Hui Province is an economically backward province, even decades later, it is still a well-known poor province in China, and several national policies have cleverly avoided the central province of Hui, and of course, there is also the province of Yu Province, one of which is famous for its abundance of small nannies, and the other is famous for selling blood and AIDS en masse. Zhu Daxu Brigade is a production brigade in Taihuang County, a poor county under Huaidong City, Hui Province, far away from the county seat, in the flood area of the Xiqi River, a tributary of the Huai River.

The village where Li Manman's house is located is called the East Xiaoli Production Group, there are several production teams under a production team, and the team is divided into several groups, basically named after the most surnames in their respective villages, for example, the team next door is called the West Li family production team, of course, the east is called the East Li family, and then the east is surnamed Hou, Li Manman's school is called Hou Miao Primary School, but this production team is mostly surnamed Zhu, just look at the name of the team.

There are not many households in the production group of Dong Xiaoli, basically they are all members of a family, Li Manman's family is a second room, with high seniority and young age. Grandma is the highest generation person in the village, she only has two sons, her father and uncle, and the rest are in the big house, the highest generation is the fourth master, why is there no big uncle, two uncle, three uncle, Li Manman said she didn't know, he has four sons, the eldest son is almost sixty years old, the youngest is as old as Uncle Li Manman, usually live their own days, if something happens, basically to discuss with Li Manman's father, one is where the generation is, the other is that Li's father graduated from high school and has the highest education, The third is that Dad Li is now the secretary of the brigade and has authority.

Li Manman's house is the lobby brother's house in the east, diagonally opposite is the second cousin's house, and there is an alley in the west, which is the third cousin's house, and the fourth cousin's house in front of the third cousin's house, and then a little to the south, under the platform is the uncle's house, next to the uncle's house is another family, also surnamed Li, and Li Manman's family relationship is better, so they moved over to live together, their three brothers, but the eldest and the second are all on the coal mine in Huaidong City, only the third is at home, or an enthusiastic young man, just married.

Xi Xiaoli's production group is also surnamed Li, but it has always been at odds with Li Manman's group, listening to the old man say that there seems to be an enmity or something, Li Manman still said that he didn't know, adults wouldn't tell children about these things, and when they grew up, they went to school in the county and didn't care too much.

"Da Hong, is breakfast ready?" Grandma carried her two-year-old cousin on her back and asked Li Manman, who was stunned. Yes, Li Manman's milk name is Dahong, and the village basically calls her that, and the word of her generation is Yuanzi, so several cousins are called Li Yuanren, Li Yuansheng, Li Yuanjun, Li Yuanwen, according to the order, Li Manman should be called Li Yuanhong, but as the third Li's father, how could Li Tianxue let his daughter call a name similar to the big man with a bad reputation in history, so he took two words from his favorite Qu Yuan's poem "The road is long, I will go up and down and seek" to make his daughter's name, The son's name is also by the way - Li Xiuyuan.

"It's burned. Grandma, have you eaten? Li Manman stood up, took his cousin off his grandmother's back, and said to the smiling little ball of meat with his fingers in his mouth, "Xiao Yong, I have to walk by myself in the future, and grandma can't carry it anymore!" ”

"Sister, eat balls! A bowl! The cousin drooled and gestured to Li Manman, saying that he had eaten a bowl of rice.

The old lady thumped her waist and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have eaten, I ate at your uncle's house," walked to his brother's small table and looked at his brother's rice, "Is Taotao ready?" ”

"Probably about the same! An egg cake, a bowl of porridge, almost, if it's not enough, wait for your parents to come back and eat some! Li Manman looked at Taotao's rice and replied.

"I've eaten well, and my sister said I can't have leftovers!" Taotao swallowed the egg cake in two bites, drank porridge with a small wooden bowl, and said to grandma with a smile.

"Good boy! This is grandma's good grandson! The old lady was happy to see her teeth and eyes, Li Manman rolled her eyes, patriarchal old lady.

"Mommy is back!" Taotao cheered, put the dishes and ran to the door, Lin Xiujuan put down the sickle, picked up her son, and kissed a few bites: "Xiaotao, have you had breakfast?" Didn't make trouble with my sister! ”

"No, no," Taotao shook her head, "Taotao is good, eat by yourself, the omelet, porridge are all eaten, you see, my stomach is ---" said and lifted the gown to show her mother's belly.

"Well, it's really bulging, the big watermelon should be ripe! Bring a knife and cut it open! Lin Xiujuan touched her son's little belly and teased her son. It's the stomach, not the watermelon, you can't eat it! Taotao was so frightened that she quickly hid her stomach.

Lin Xiujuan was amused by her son and laughed, took the basin brought by her daughter, hugged her daughter and kissed her, Li Manman was startled by her mother, she didn't expect her mother to be so cheerful when she was young, and when she saw her daughter's face red, Lin Xiujuan was in a better mood.

"Xiujuan, what about Tianxue?" The grandmother saw that the daughter-in-law had returned, but the son had not seen it, so she asked.

"His dad will be back in a while, someone was looking for him just now, and it seems that he is going to the township for a meeting today." Lin Xiujuan replied, and asked again, "Mom, have you eaten?" Eat together later? ”

"I've eaten it!" Grandma hugged her cousin, "I'll take Xiaoyong out to play, you guys have a good meal!" How much land remains uncut? It's about to be a holiday! ”

"There is still more than an acre, it's almost there, but the tractors haven't lined up yet!" Lin Xiujuan quickly cleaned herself up and prepared to go into the kitchen to help her daughter serve food.

"Row to the tractor, by the way, the second family's land is also plowed, the second child works in the pot and bowl factory, it is not good to ask for leave, the second family is young!" Grandma instructed.

"Got it, isn't it like this every year, can his dad forget?" Lin Xiujuan was depressed, but she still agreed, what if she didn't agree, she had to help the second family plow the land in the end.

"That's what I said, how could Tianxue forget!" The grandmother happily walked away with her little grandson in her arms.

"Mom, have you eaten?" Li Tianxue happened to meet his mother at the door, and looked at his thin mother holding a fat boy, and was very worried, "Can't you take Xiaoyong away?" You're so old, don't you get tired of carrying it on your back every day? ”

"Don't be tired, how much a child can weigh! You go to dinner, Da Hong can do a lot now. The work at home is decent. Grandma sent Xiao Yong up and said to her eldest son.

Li Tianxue is almost thirty years old before he has a child, and he hurts his daughter in the top of his heart, although he later has a son, but he still prefers his daughter, and when he heard his mother praise his daughter, he smiled happily: "I went to school this year, and Dahong became sensible all of a sudden!" But I can work, and the rice is not bad! ”

"Dad, are you hungry? Wash your hands! I scrambled your favorite scrambled eggs with chili. Li Manman said to his tall father. Every time he sees such a healthy and living father, Li Manman's heart is full of gratitude, grateful to God for sending him to his father when he is still healthy and high-spirited, and his ambition has not been consumed by reality.

"Hey, got it, bring the water to Dad!" Li Tianxue smiled and instructed his daughter, "Put Dad's porridge well, take the chopsticks, wash your hands and eat it!" ”

"You know that picking up your daughter, Da Hong has worked all morning and hasn't eaten!" Lin Xiujuan hated her husband.

"My daughter got it, I ate it deliciously!" Li Tianxue said with a smile, put the towel on the washstand, and walked over, "Dahong, come and eat!" ”

Li Manman took the poop, smeared the sauce beans on it, took a bite, the crispy sauce was fragrant, and squinted his eyes pleasantly. I haven't tasted this kind of taste for many years, and the sauce made by my mother is a famous delicacy in Shili Eight Villages, but after my father passed away, my mother stopped making sauce.

"Big red, big red, have you eaten well?" The army took his younger brother and the second army to shout at the door, the countryside is basically closed, so they can see Li Manman eating, but they are afraid of the big daddy and dare not come in.
