Chapter 3 Visiting the Village
On the left side of Li Xi's house lives Li Xi's uncle, but he is not his uncle, Li Xi's uncle lives in the middle of the mountain, and he is not familiar with Li Xi's family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And this uncle may be closer because he lives closer.
The eldest lady of this family has tremor paralysis, which is the so-called Parkinson's, but at this time she still only has a slight tremor, such as hand tremors, and her head will shake from time to time, Li Xi was a little afraid of her when she was young, because she was like a bad person on TV.
But she always looked at Li Xi with hurt eyes every time.
Li Xi felt guilty for this for a long time when she grew up, but it wasn't until Li Xi got appendicitis that during the National Day, her parents went to the countryside to visit her grandmother, and Li Xi, who was independent in the town, had no choice but to go to her daughter-in-law, who lived in the same town, to lead her to the hospital for treatment.
Seeing that it was unbearable, the eldest lady made a big announcement in the village, saying that Li Xi was so ignorant that she went to see her daughter-in-law who had just finished the overnight shift to see a doctor and so on.
So Li Xi is not afraid of her, she doesn't even hate, and she has no love.
Mother hugged Li Xi and prepared to go around the village, wearing a cloth skirt made of a sewing machine on her feet, without a trace of thread, the fabric is also very comfortable, and now there are very few people who can make clothes, one is available everywhere, and the other is a waste of time and energy to do this.
And the things that are made are far from being as beautiful as those bought, so except for Li Xijia, basically no one does it.
Li Xi saw this skirt when she grew up, but she just thought that the fabric was too old and a little disgusted, but she didn't expect that it was her mother who stayed up for many nights to make this skirt, just to let Li Xi wear new clothes on the day of the long tail.
The corners of Li Xi's eyes were a little moist.
"Dabao's family finished eating?" The lady on the left was washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw her mother hugging Li Xi down, she greeted her with a smile!
Seeing that Li Xi was wearing a skirt that he had never seen before, he didn't forget to tease Li Xi, "Yo, let's wear a new skirt?" Come, smile, pity! ”
Li Xi had a chill, and Li Xi once felt that the biggest shadow in his childhood was that all kinds of people in the village liked to tease him.
Seeing that Li Xi was very 'faceless', my mother said with a smile: "I woke up crying this morning, I'm afraid I'm sleepy again!" ”
The eldest mother listened, nodded, rubbed her clothes vigorously with her hands, and did not forget to explain to her mother, "Then you have to pay attention, it's not right for the child to cry, see if she is hungry or urinated, or because she went to an unclean place!" ”
Mom was busy, and even said a few words, I know, I know!
Further down is the fine mother's house, Li Xi liked to go to the fine mother's house when she was a child, one is because the fine mother always gave Li Xi some clothes that her relatives in the city could not wear, each of them was very clean and beautiful, for Li Xi at that time, it was simply an angel.
There is also a fine mother and fine master are different from other elderly couples, they rarely quarrel, this is completely different from the aunt and uncle on the left, they are the kind that is uncomfortable if they don't quarrel for a day.
Compared with the complete machismo of the uncle on the left, all the housework is done by the eldest mother, and he usually wanders around, bragging to others, just waiting for the meal.
And the fine master is different, the fine master is very tall, but the fine lady is very short, in fact, it is very similar to the most cute height difference now.
However, Li Xi felt that height was nothing, the fine master always spoke gently, and from time to time he would help with housework, and he never rushed to face others, and he was completely different in that era.
The fine master would always frown lightly when he saw Li Xi, and gently told Li Xi that girls should not lift Erlang's legs!
Sometimes I will make a few jokes, and go to play with so-and-so?
Compared with Li Xi's father, Li Xi's father rarely taught Li Xi anything, and rarely talked to Li Xi, because Li Xi was very afraid of him, and his father was very fierce, in fact, he also had resentment in his heart that other adults irrigated his father was not good for his mother.
Therefore, Li Xi likes the fine lady and the fine master very much.
When Xi Niang saw Li Xi, she happily put down the clothes she was washing, and wiped her hand on the apron when she got up, "Regret the long tail today, right?" Come, I'll see if there is a long tail coming out, yo~ It's so stinky, it's a pity! ”
Li Xi's face was black, and he stretched out his short and fat little hand to express his protest.
"Ouch, it's a pity that this is going to grow taller, it's a pity to grow taller!" After speaking, he put Li Xi's foot on his knee, Li Xi was powerless to step on it at this time, slipping and slipping, but it made the fine lady laugh.
Xu heard Xi Niang's laughter, and Xi Ye poked his head out of the kitchen, "It's a pity?" You go to the room and get some candy that Yuanyuan bought on the street yesterday and give her something to eat! ”
The mother waved her hand busily on the side, "No, no, this child has just drunk milk, he is full, and he has just grown teeth and can't eat anything, so you don't need to take it, you can keep it for yourself." ”
Mother once told Li Xi that people are poor and ambitious, and the poor do not eat the food that comes to them, and her mother's voice is always thin, with the unique softness and gentleness of southern women.
But at that time, people didn't buy this, and the villagers preferred women who could shout from the head of the village to the end of the village with a loud voice.
As the saying goes, people are good at being bullied, although they will not be bullied, but people always don't value you so much, and they will not let you do anything.
Regarding her mother's refusal, the fine master and the fine mother only regarded her as polite, took out a large handful of paper candy and stuffed it into Li Xi's skirt pocket, and saw that she couldn't fit it, so she put the skirt in the reverse pocket.
Xi Niang laughed again when she saw it, "Shame, shame......" While talking, she slapped Li Xiyu's immature ass several times......
Li Xi thought to herself, why did the rebirth start in 1994?
And not 2008?
Because of Li Xi, what he wants to go back to most is to stand next to the two forks in the road after graduating from junior high school in 2008 and choose again......
However, there is no yet, and there is no why.
Mom and Xi Niang asked a few more words of parenting before leaving with Li Xi in their arms.
Go further to the right, that is, below Li Xi's house, live as the landlord of Long Village, grandma said that when the last family divided the goods during the special period, it was held in his house, and his family took the most.
This is only one of the factors, and the other is that his eldest daughter married into the city, and the eldest son-in-law opened a big hotel in the city, in short, he was very rich, and every time his eldest daughter came back, he would bring all kinds of delicious things.
Then his granddaughter would run to Li Xi's house in a hurry, all kinds of dazzling food, and was beaten by Li Xi so that she couldn't find the north......
In fact, Li Xi has rarely gone back since he started going to school in the city, one is because his parents are in the city, and the other is that Li Xi feels that the city is much more fun than the countryside and does not want to go back.
When he grew up, he didn't have the opportunity to go back because of work, which was an unforgettable regret for Li until he died.
The faces of those people in his memory had begun to blur, but Li Xi had not forgotten their laughter, the movement of walking, and the tone of their voices.
For this landlord's family, Li Xi is most impressed not by their wealth, but by the fact that this landlord will try his best to spit out the phlegm stuck in his throat every morning when he brushes his teeth.
For Shi Qingqing, who slept soundly, it was deafening.
When my mother took Li Xi to go, they were cooking, and the smell of meat was overflowing, for that time, having meat in every family was definitely a sign of wealth, and Li Xi, who was lying in her mother's arms, couldn't help but suck her mouth.
When they cook, it is always very fragrant, and Li Xi was always very envious when he was a child, envious that others had a grandmother and mother who could cook.
But when she grew up, Li Xi realized that her grandmother and mother didn't want to make the rice fragrant, but they didn't have the conditions.
Because people are eating, my mother is not easy to disturb, it will bring inconvenience to people and give people a feeling of going to eat, so my mother hugged Li Xi and walked directly through this house.
Next to the landlord's house is the secretary's house, and the middle door is open, and you can see the small statue of the Bodhisattva in the middle hall and the copper furnace full of incense.
Li Xi always behaved very well when he passed by here when he was a child, because the people in this family felt very indifferent, and there was also a feeling of a scholarly family in the faint sense.
However, Li Xi didn't think so when he was a child, few people finished reading at that time, but the head of the family not only finished reading, but also became a secretary.
Li Xi just every time he sees them, he feels a little like seeing a teacher, Li Xi has a sense of awe for the teacher when he was a child, and he is more afraid than respectful.
I don't know if it's because the smell of incense is too strong or because the body is too small to bear it for a long time, Li Xi is a little drowsy.
The mother who was holding Li Xi naturally noticed it, so she changed Li Xi to a horizontal hug, and gently patted Li Xi's back with one hand, very gently, singing her mother's unique lullaby, "Oh" word song, in short, it is a lullaby that sings the whole song with the word "oh".
The sun is thick on the top, the tip of the nose has the warm breath of the mother, and occasionally the spring breeze brings the fragrance of thousands of flowers in full bloom, insects and birds chirping, Li Xi gently closed his eyes and covered his reddened eyes.
It's good to be alive, and the good thing is that you're all here!
