Chapter 6 Mountain Life
After the old man's birthday banquet, Jianming did not return to Lin Village, because the autumn harvest was approaching, and the Jianshan couple had no time to take care of him, so they could only leave him on the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In Zhaolin Village, Beishan, the Lin family is really prosperous, in addition to Jianming's uncle Lin Xiu'an, who was demobilized and was assigned to other coal mines, the second uncle Lin Xiuxiong was demobilized and went home to have three girls, the third uncle Lin Xiuhao had a girl and two boys, and the fourth uncle Lin Xiujie also returned home after demobilization and had a girl and a child. However, at this time, the only one who can be a playmate with Jianming is Lin Cheng, this is the child of the fourth uncle's family, just 6 years old this year, white and fat, several times stronger than Jianming.
Maybe it's because of the eldest child, although Lin Cheng is six years old, he can't play independently, so the task of taking care of Jianming was handed over to Lin Guixiang, the third eldest of the second uncle's family.
Lin Guixiang is just twelve years old, and she has already become a big beauty, with a pair of smart eyes, always pregnant with the light of wisdom, and cunning is always hidden in the depths of her clear eyes. She has a lively and cheerful personality, loves to laugh very much, and has two small dimples when she laughs, she is an authentic mountain girl, and almost dominates all the aura of the mountains.
Although Jianming is not very old, because of his self-awareness, he has the ability to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, and his young mind has become extremely impure. After he got acquainted with Lin Guixiang, he always liked to stick to this beautiful cousin, and from time to time he sighed like this-
"Sister Guixiang, when I grow up, I will definitely marry a daughter-in-law who is as good-looking as you."
"Hehe, little brat, you want to marry a daughter-in-law when you're only three years old?"
"Well, it would be nice if it weren't for my cousin, and I don't know if there's anyone as good-looking as you."
"Hehe, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and eat, I'll take you and Xiaocheng to the mountains to play in a while."
Children in the past were very different from today, in the past, girls took on the responsibility of household chores early and took care of younger siblings. This is also because in the past, productivity was extremely low, there were no herbicides and other pesticides, and there was more land per capita, so adults needed to spend almost every day in the field, and the housework of cooking, washing pots, washing dishes, and even feeding the animals needed to be undertaken by the little girls.
If you don't have younger siblings, you can still go to school, if you have younger siblings, you can only become victims, and some have no chance to study in this life, which is a custom and the charm of traditional women in our country.
Therefore, although Lin Guixiang is only a fifth-grade elementary school student, she has become a little adult, in addition to temporarily taking care of Jianming and Lin Cheng, she also needs to do housework, and she also needs to go up the mountain to collect medicine, which is also a characteristic of children in the mountainous areas, and they earn tuition fees by themselves.
At around 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Guixiang carried Lanzi, took Jianming and Lin Cheng to the mountains, and when they reached a pool of mountain pools, they could hear the noise of children playing.
This is a unique landscape in the mountains, and in the summer, this hot spring-like pool becomes a gathering place for little children. The little girls who take care of their younger siblings will leave the little children here to bathe and play freely in the mountain pool, while they go in groups to dig for medicinal herbs and wild vegetables.
At that time, the mountainous area was quite ecological, there was not too much pesticide poisoning, all kinds of wild herbs and wild vegetables were all over the mountains, and the little girls could earn enough tuition fees in a summer vacation. And the children are not short of snacks, and the hard-working young ladies will always bring them countless wild fruits, such as small mountain dates, mountain grapes, wild raspberries, plum and sweet roots, so that the little children will eat with juice in their mouths.
Of course, there are wild fruits and wild insects, such as scorpions, snakes, and oily snakes, etc., but at that time, the little children were cruel by nature, and when they saw these things, they were stones, and no matter how powerful the poisonous insects were, they could only turn into meat puree. In particular, the little medicine hoe of the young ladies, which specializes in dealing with flat-headed snakes, can break the poisonous snake into thousands of pieces in the blink of an eye, which is extremely powerful.
Lin Guixiang led Jianming and Lin Cheng to the edge of the mountain pool, saw a few little girls who were already waiting, and hurriedly ordered Lin Cheng: "Xiaocheng, you take Xiaoming to play, I have to dig up medicinal herbs, come back and bring you something delicious." ”
"Oh, I see."
6-year-old Lin Cheng is naturally shy, he doesn't like to talk since he was a child, and he rarely has his own opinions, and he is a good baby in the eyes of adults.
"Ah, Sister Guixiang, they don't have any clothes on."
Looking at the little boys and girls with bare buttocks in the pool, Jian Ming was very surprised, these little children are too shameless, they don't even wear clothes.
"Hehe, if you go into the water to take a shower, you have to take off your clothes, don't get wet, otherwise, let you go back bare-bottomed. Alright, you two play with them, I've got to go. ”
"Uh......"
Lin Guixiang's departure made Jian Ming have a lot of questions in his heart, and he reluctantly came to the pool with Lin Cheng, ready to turn into a bare-bottomed little child. In fact, this is just the reason why he came for the first time, and he doesn't know the rules of the mountains, and at this time, most of the children in the pond are three or four years old, and the oldest is only six or seven years old, so there is no need to divide genders at all.
Just as Jianming and Lin Cheng were about to enter the pool, Zhao Hu squeezed through the crowd and walked over, this guy was only six years old, he was tiger-headed, his dark skin was full of wild brutality, he was the child king of Zhao Lin Village, and he was extremely unfriendly to Jianming, an outsider.
"Child, don't come down, this is the pool in my village, and outsiders are not welcome."
Zhao Hu was very arrogant, almost pointing at Jian Ming's nose and shouting, which was really a bit of a little boss. This is also the reason why he is favored at home, originally the old Zhao family was also a prosperous family with a big surname, but due to an accident, it has now become a small surname.
If you want to talk about this matter, you must start with Zhao Hu's grandparents, at that time the Zhao family had three brothers, the eldest participated in the Eighth Route Army, but the second participated in the country and the army, and until the outbreak of the Liberation War, the eldest and the second met at home and persuaded each other, but their respective beliefs were already deep-rooted, and the two brothers could not convince each other, so they could only turn against each other.
The eldest was finally soft-hearted and couldn't bear to hurt his younger brother, but the second child was a ruthless man, and when the boss went to the toilet, he directly picked the boss with a bayonet, and then dragged the gun and fled, and no one knows what happened later.
After the death of the eldest child, the third child, who was Zhao Hu's grandfather, abandoned his wife and children and resolutely joined the army, and later resisted US aggression and aided Korea and died in North Korea. As the only male member of the Zhao family at this time, Zhao Hu was extremely favored in the family, and almost all of his grandfather's pensions were spent on him, so it was reasonable to become the king of children.
In the face of Zhao Hu's clamour, Jian Ming couldn't help but be furious, he had lived in the praise of his parents, elders, and neighbors since he was a child, and he was the child king of Lin Village, his heart was not ordinarily high, how could he stand this kind of anger? Therefore -
