Chapter 118: Hometown and Big Cow
The bus stopped, and then went away. Yang Guo and Kiki were left behind, as well as a bunch of luggage.
Yang Guo stood at the entrance of the village, rubbed the little head of Qiqi, who had woken up, and said with a smile: "Qiqi, this is our hometown!" You'll be able to see your grandparents later! โ
The concrete road in the village was built only a few years ago, but the red dust was billowing and the road was full of fine weeds and a mixture of red soil and cow dung. In fact, this is also a kind of simplicity, accustomed to seeing the hard asphalt roads and high-rise buildings in the city, and when you return to your hometown, you will have a feeling of returning to nature.
It's harvest season in the south, and the air is filled with the smell of autumn โ flowers, rice, melons and fruits, and the scent of green grass evaporated by the earth under the scorching sun.
Behind the entrance of the village, the country road is hidden in the dense green shade of the trees, on such a path, Yang Guo does not have to worry about Qiqi being exposed to the sun if he does not play an umbrella, which is very good, because Yang Guo can't spare his hands to play an umbrella at all!
Twisting his body and loosening his shoulders, Yang Guo was ready to drag two large suitcases of luggage home. He didn't tell anyone when he came back this time, he was just going to surprise his parents! But the helplessness of this is that no one will come to pick him up, Yang Guo has to drag his luggage home, and it will be a kilometer or two away from the entrance of the village!
"Ago?" There was a hearty shout from behind, followed by the characteristic clatter of ox carts.
Looking back, it was the seventh uncle who had just come back with an ox cart!
"Hey, Seventh Uncle!" Yang Guo greeted him happily.
"Is it really you?" Uncle Seven said with a smile, "I'm still worried that my old eyes are looking at the wrong person!" "The seventh uncle is in his sixties and almost seventy years old this year, and he can still work in the fields at a great age, and his body is as strong as a young man, but after all, the years are not forgiving, the body is not old, and the eyes are a little flowery, if it is evening, without reading glasses, he can't see things at all.
"Where? Seventh uncle, you are in good health! Yang Guo said with a smile, "But I think you really should be idle and enjoy your happiness, aren't your children already working well?" โ
"You kid persuaded me again, let me tell you, it's not that the seventh uncle doesn't have children and grandchildren to take care of, but the seventh uncle really can't be idle, if you don't do something every day, people will rust if they are lazy!" The seventh uncle sat on the ox cart and said with a smile.
When he got closer, the seventh uncle saw Qiqi on Yang Guo's chest clearly.
"Ah Guo, what is this? Yours? The seventh uncle asked in disbelief.
"You guessed correctly, it's my daughter, Yang Luoqi. Kiki, say hello to Uncle Seven! Yang Guo put down the suitcase in his hand and held Qiqi a little higher for the seventh uncle to take a closer look.
Kiki was not afraid, she looked at the seventh uncle, and then looked straight at the big cow of the trailer. The big cow is the treasure of the seventh uncle, he has been raising it for three years, and he takes it out to eat grass every day, and it grows shiny, tendons, and is very strong, especially the two long horns, which look like the fighter in the cattle!
Ordinary children will feel numb in their hearts when they see the big cow, and they dare not step forward, but Qiqi is not an ordinary child, she is very happy when she sees the big cow, writhing and wanting to touch the big cow, and from time to time she turns her head to greet her father, and points to the big cow to let Yang Guo get closer.
Yang Guo saw her tossing and said with a smile: "Qiqi, don't make trouble, that's a big cow!" Watch out for its tantrums! โ
The seventh uncle laughed and said: "Ah Guo, you kid is not even as good as a doll, let her come over and get close to Da Niu, what are you afraid of?" It's not me who blows, my big bull temper is the best in the village! It's okay, I'm watching! โ
Since the seventh uncle said so, Yang Guo hugged Qiqi and came over. He was still hanging in his heart, and he kept his right hand in his strength, so he was worried that Da Niu would suddenly not cooperate, and he could still block it.
However, Yang Guo is still too worried, and the big cow is very docile! It looked at Kiki with the same gentle eyes as if it were his own child, and in order to get there, the bull lowered his head and tilted his horns to the ground.
Kiki's small hand slid lightly over the cow's forehead, where the hair was compact, but also clean. Qiqi was not satisfied, she also grabbed the horns of the big cow with her two hands, Yang Guo was taken aback, worried that the big cow would burst out, he quickly pressed one hand on the horns of the big cow, but he didn't feel any force.
Kiki, who was satisfied, giggled, and the big bull slowly raised his head, looking at Kiki with his huge eyes, his tongue curled, and his nose purred happily.
"You're interesting." The seventh uncle squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Ah Guo, you didn't come home this time?" The seventh uncle said in a crepe manner, Yang Guo remembered that the seventh uncle had never read, and I don't know if it was because his sons had installed a TV for him at home in the past few years, probably because he learned some fresh words from watching TV!
"Haha, yes, I want to surprise my parents!" Yang Guo said with a smile.
"Then come up! Uncle Seventh will take you back to see what you have with your big bag and small bag. The seventh uncle patted the ox cart and said, "No, I went to the big city, and when I came back, I didn't even dare to sit in the seventh uncle's ox cart, right?" โ
"How come, then thank you Uncle Seven!" Yang Guo was not polite, and stuffed two suitcases into the ox cart, and then he boarded up as soon as he lifted his legs.
"Let's go!" The seventh uncle patted the big cow's buttocks, and the big cow took a step with a comprehension and walked forward, although it was slow, it was better to be leisurely, and that kind of fun was not comparable to modern means of transportation.
Sitting in the front, holding the useless ox rope, the seventh uncle began to hum a little tune.
The little song hummed by the seventh uncle is a dialect drama in Yang Guo's hometown, and the general content is nothing to praise, it is nothing more than the plot of the county magistrate's difficulty in judging the neighborhood dispute, but when the local dialect is sung, the rough lines have another charm in the tactful minor key.
It can indeed be said that it is long behind the times, but it must be said that it still sounds very interesting occasionally.
Kiki liked it very much, she listened very carefully, and shook her head, like the opera fans who listened to the opera in the Beijing teahouse in the old days.
Yang Guo touched her little head funny, I don't know if Qiqi understands, but she is indeed very talented in music, and she can distinguish those rhythms and rhymes. Unlike her father Yang Guo, she was born with a can't tell the tune in the song, maybe she inherited it from her mother!
Two kilometers is not close, but it is not far away, Yang Guo can already see his courtyard gate from afar!
Because the seventh uncle's house was still going down, Yang Guo thanked the seventh uncle for his kindness to send him to the door, and walked off the ox cart at the intersection.
"Okay, you'll just walk back by yourself!" Uncle Seven said.
"It's okay, Uncle Seven, don't worry." Yang Guo smiled, "Thank you for being old today, I just came back tonight, I didn't have any preparations, but tomorrow you don't have a fire at home, come to my house for dinner, right?" At that time, the two of us chattered again. โ
"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow and look at your doll, I think I have a relationship with this doll, haha!" The seventh uncle smiled and drove the ox cart home.
Yang Guo's family, Ah Fu, the Chinese pastoral dog raised at home, that is, the ordinary big yellow dog, began to go back and forth at the gate of the courtyard, with his tail flicking wildly and barking non-stop.
Yang Guo's mother, Xu Jinfeng, was feeding her grandson Yang Linjie for lunch in the lobby (saying it was lunch, but in fact, it was already past lunch), when she heard the voice, she touched Yang Guo and his father Yang Tie with her foot, and said, "Old man, go and see, Ah Fu is so screaming, see what's going on?" โ
"What could it be?" Yang Tie sat on the bamboo chair in the lobby, fanned the fan leisurely, and said lazily, "It doesn't make two throats uncomfortable every day." โ
"How can it be the same?" Xu Jinfeng kicked him again, "Usually someone walks by, Ah Fu will make a commotion, and he won't scream, this time he has been calling abnormally for so long, it shouldn't be who is coming, right?" โ
"Who will come on a hot day?" Yang Tie's buttocks didn't bother to move, squinted his eyes, and said in a casual voice, and there were a few snoring sounds from his nose.
"Are you going?" Xu Jinfeng couldn't see Yang Tie's lazy appearance the most, so he stuffed this foot directly under his buttocks, gathering strength, preparing to kick him down if he didn't get up again.
His wife was furious, and Yang Tie didn't dare to continue to enjoy his nap, he struggled to sit up, and said dissatisfiedly: "At this time, the people in the village either go to work in the field, or hide at home to enjoy the coolness, who will come over against the afternoon sun?" โ
However, Ah Fu's screams continued, and Yang Tie also stood up, ready to go out to see what was going on.
Xu Jinfeng frowned in the back and said, "It can't be that the fruit is back, right?" โ
"You think your son wants to go crazy, right?" Yang Tiezhuan pulled his slippers, turned around and sneered, "Didn't Guozi say it when he called a few days ago?" He was on a business trip in the capital, how could he run back? โ
"You men know all day long that you go on business trips and don't care about your home at all! The fruit is exactly right, how old is little Kiki? Before he was a year old, he ran around with him, the capital was so chaotic, what if Kiki took it away? Xu Jinfeng said with a sad face.
"Women's Taoist people always think of useless things!" Yang Tie said, "I know what kind of person the fruit is, even if I go outside, my granddaughter has him to take care of, and there is nothing to do!" โ
"Besides, Guozi went to the capital this time, what kind of meeting is he going to, he is going to do big things, someone in our old Yang family can finally get ahead, are you still not happy?" Yang Tie added.
"That's not what I meant." Xu Jinfeng stood at the door of the lobby with a frown and said unconvinced.
At this point of noisy effort, Yang Tie had already walked to the door, and drove Ah Fu, who was wagging his tail non-stop, away with his feet, and opened the door.
The big iron door creaked open, and their son Yang Guo, who was still discussing just now, stood at the door with a box, and Yang Guo and Qiqi, who was sitting on his chest, were looking at them with a smile.
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, let's take a ticket and smash the cold door!) โงโฝโฆ๏ผ
