It's really far away, and I changed to an ox cart along the way, and I went down halfway, and I had already entered the mountain, and walked along the winding mountain road for half an hour before I saw Wan's maiden village.

It's really a family in a ravine.

I don't know how the Li family said about this family back then, and how much thought it took to get into it.

"Mother's mother, I gave birth to six children back then, but the family was poor, and only three of them lived in the end, so you only have the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and the mother is the third, and those children are not ranked."

"Your eldest uncle is ten years old, and the second uncle is five years old. Mother has to calculate..."Wan Shi pointed his fingers: "Da Lang is the blessing of the eldest brother's family, twenty years old, Erlang is also the eldest brother's family, called Fuquan, eighteen, San Lang is the Fushan of the second brother's family, seventeen." The cuckoo of the second brother's family is the eldest girl, nineteen, the jujube flower is the second girl, fifteen, and the camellia of the eldest brother's family is the third girl, fourteen. Alas, I don't know if there were any more imports later, and a few big ones should get married..."

The children followed and snapped their fingers, and Hua Lei had a good memory: "Three cousins, three cousins, it doesn't matter if you can't remember, just call your brother and sister when you see someone." ”

Hua Yuhua Bing nodded heavily and put down her messy fingers.

Wan Shi smiled: "When I see people, I have asked for good, and I will remember it." ”

Hua Yu looked at the mountain road behind her: "Mother, why don't you see anyone else going back to your mother's house?" ”

"This poor ravine, who is willing to marry if she is not the daughter of a poor family? If the girls in the village get married, it will be difficult for them to come back. How many people don't go back once a year, alas, in the mountains, there are not a few good lands, how can they live a good life. Those who go out to live a good life don't want to come back. ”

"Then, mother, how did you tell your father back then?"

Wan Shi lost his mind and smiled slowly: "It's a shame that the old lady bothered." ”

What the? That's right, it's so far away and so remote, it's really thanks to the Li family that the two of them can become husband and wife.

"We have to thank her."

"Yes, thanks to her, otherwise there would be no us."

"Yes, I will repay my kindness, and in the future, we will tell people how much she loves our father."

He must not vomit to death Lee.

"Hahaha..."

The village is not big, looking at the appearance of dozens of families. The houses built against the mountains are all made of large and small mountain stones, and even the roofs are paved with stone slabs, and the courtyard walls are also made of stone. From a distance, you can see that each yard is even divided into several layers, and the courtyard walls are also higher than one section, and you can also see the chili pepper strings and rice sticks hanging under the eaves.

Wan's footsteps became heavy and hesitant, and he stopped in front of a house. Hesitating and hesitating, he looked at the old jujube tree next to him, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed, the brown gate creaked open, and he didn't see anyone in the yard.

"How... What about nobody? Wan whispered to himself, and entered the courtyard a little dejected.

Hua Lei followed, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Is anyone at home?" ”

Wan Shi was startled, trembling all over, his eyes were staring at the door, and his legs and feet were spinning and trying to run out.

Hua Yun stretched out her arm, hugged her, and went to the door of the house, still thinking about going back?

Then the door of the house opened, and an old woman came out, looking at the group with a frown: "Who are you?" What are you doing at my house? ”

Hua Yu pulled Hua Changnian on his sleeves and asked, "Dad, this is my grandma?" My mother doesn't look like her. ”

Hua Changnian hurriedly whispered: "What nonsense? This is your aunt. ”

Yes?

This and this, this burnt yellow and emaciated face, a big pimple between the eyebrows, look at people still tilting their heads down, as if looking at something. It looks like it's over sixty. This is the eldest aunt?

So what does Grandma do?

The eldest aunt became impatient at this time, and asked again, "Who are you looking for?" Went to the wrong door. ”

Wan's face was not happy, and he shouted: "Sister-in-law." ”

"Huh? Ah, ah, yes... Young lady? ”

The eldest aunt's mouth was open, and he recognized it, and shouted in a thick voice: "Dad, come out quickly, the young lady is back." ”

Kick and tap, and another man with an old face came out, followed by a girl and a boy.

This time, Hua Yu didn't dare to guess that it was her grandfather, it should be her uncle.

Uncle Wan had an old jujube-like face, squinting between his eyes and looking at it carefully.

The courtyard is divided into three floors, the house is at the top, and the Wan family is at the bottom at this time. They all looked up at each other.

Uncle Wan was surprised: "Young lady? ”

Wan Shi choked faintly: "Big brother, I... It's back. ”

Uncle Wan was obviously a little incredulous, and he didn't say anything, so he hurriedly greeted him, and repeatedly said that he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it.

The family was welcomed into the house, Wan Shi was stunned when he entered the house, and he didn't see his father and mother, and looked into the left and right rooms, all of them were hung with curtains, and he couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Big brother, where is my father?" ”

"Daddy, Daddy..."

Uncle Wan couldn't say clearly.

Wan's heart sank, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Daddy... What's wrong? ”

"Daddy... Not there..."

Wan was about to faint, Hua Yun hurriedly supported her, she could hear clearly, Uncle Wan said "not there" behind the word "no more".

"Not here? Where's that? ”

Uncle Wan heard a cold voice, and when he looked at it, he saw a bleak and cold face, and he looked away uncomfortably.

"Daddy and Mom have moved to the old house."

"Old mansion? Where? "Wan Shi is not faint, he is confused again, old house? Where? How did she not know that there was an old mansion?

Uncle Wan opened his eyes: "It's the two stone houses at the back of the village..."

Wan's eyes darkened: "Isn't that a broken house that no one wants?" How did it become our old house? ”

The eldest aunt said busily: "We have repaired it, and it cost money." Of course it's ours. ”

Wan's face darkened: "What about the second brother?" Why don't you see the people from the second brother's family? ”

snorted, it was the kid behind Uncle Wan, who wrinkled his nose and shrugged, obviously disdainful.

Wan had a guess in his heart: "You broke up?" The second brother and his father and mother have moved out? ”

Uncle Wan was silent.

Wan Shi stopped, was silent for a moment, and resolutely said, "Let's go to Daddy's place." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.

"Ouch, ouch, young lady, why do you just leave? Isn't this your home? ”

The eldest aunt pressed the basket in Hua Changnian's hand, and smiled to keep it.

It's said that it's that smiling face, but it's really not good-looking.

Uncle Wan also said: "That's it, I called my father and mother, and your nephews and nieces haven't seen it yet." ”

The eldest aunt pushed the two children forward with the other hand.

It's just that the two of them don't seem to know what to shout, the girl peeks at the flowers and rains, but the boy has an impatient and rebellious look.

Wan snorted coldly in his heart, and said to Hua Chang: "We're here to see my father's mother, don't delay the eldest brother's family, I know the place, I don't need to send it." ”

Hua Changnian saw that Wan Shi was angry, turned his big hand, avoided his aunt, and hurriedly carried his things out, and the four children also hugged Wan Shi towards the gate.

"Hey, hey, what's going on, let the village see it, how unsightly."

The persistent aunt chased all the way, shouting all the way, and did not think that she was not unsightly, and kept following the ascending mountain road, until the back of the village, two small shabby little stone houses were shaking in the wasteland.

There was not even a yard outside the house, and Wan saw two old figures lying on their backs outside, and they didn't know what to do, and tears fell down their eyes.

Wiping his face clean, Wan ran up and shouted, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”

The person is old, and the reaction is also sluggish, the two people who can't stand straight at the waist turn around and look at it blankly, the cloudy old eyes blinked several times, and the old woman with crooked hair said in a hoarse voice: "Young lady? You're back? ”

Wan's tears were surging, and he stepped forward to hug the old woman and cry.

A few children swallowed silently, my God, these two people look much older than Old Man Hua and Old Li, and they look like they can be seventy years old. This, this, the days in this mountain are so hard.

Wan Shi cried so much, I don't know what happened, there are people standing in the courtyard looking this way.

Several children were a little confused, and Hua Changnian was at a loss to comfort him, but he was extremely short of breath at his mother-in-law and did not dare to step forward.

The eldest aunt stood aside and wiped her tears, looking deeply sad, and comforted: "Mother, young lady, don't cry, isn't this a sight." Hey, my god, our mother **** misses you every night, her eyes are crying so hard that you can't see clearly, why did you come back today... Your brother talks about you every day, I miss that when you are at home, your sister-in-law is so close to you, how good your brother is to you, and you don't come back to see... Your eldest nephew and second nephew miss you in their dreams, and they are as close to your mother as you are, and your niece has not forgotten you, why are you reluctant to come back..."

Is this persuasion to cry? She said a word, Wan's cried more fiercely, Grandma Wan also cried silently, and the old arm smashed Wan's shoulder, but she didn't have the strength, and Wan's cried even more fiercely. (To be continued.) )
