Tian Manyin, who was cared for by her daughter, responded with a smile, Zhu Aiqing glared at her husband fiercely, and then glared at Tian Sisi, her eyes were full of "clean up at night", Tian Sisi was not afraid at all, maybe Zhu Aiqing's anger would disappear early at night, but it was really not good, she would grind late at Mr. Tian and then go to sleep.

Tian Manyin smoked a cigarette and then got up and went to his second uncle's house, and the daughter's affairs had to be done early, so as to save the daughter's displeasure. Mr. Tian doesn't like to smoke cigarettes, he smokes hookahs, and the tobacco is home-grown, and it takes a lot of effort to smoke it, and it makes a "gurgling" sound when he smokes.

The old man smoked a bag of cigarettes and sent Tian Sisi out to play, "Go, go, I get dizzy, go out to play." ”

Mrs. Zhao has already washed her hands and brought out a big basin, which is a large half pot of glutinous rice flour mixed with late rice noodles, pure glutinous rice noodles are too soft, and the soup balls rubbed out are not strong enough, and the soup balls mixed with late rice noodles are only strong to eat, and the Tian family loves to eat this kind of rice noodles with seventy percent glutinous rice and three percent late rice, whether it is rice cakes or gnocchi.

Mrs. Zhao poured hot water in the basin, and when she saw that the old man was obviously very useful, she pretended to be disgusted, and scolded with a smile: "People are always weird, Ah Nan, you go outside to play, don't care about your master, poor thing, I have been lying in bed for so long, go outside to breathe." ”

Tian Sisi originally wanted to help Mrs. Zhao rub the dumplings, but the old lady who loved her granddaughter was driven out of the house with her hands stained with rice noodles, and asked her to take her younger brother out to play, Zhu Aiqing chased after Tian Sisi and said, "Ah Nan, don't run to the river again." ”

"Oh, got it." Tian Sisi pulled her two younger brothers to change their rain boots and ran out in a puff of smoke, she had long wanted to go out to see what Yuequan Village was like in the seventies, whether it was really as the old lady said, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is pleasant.

The sun outside has hung high, the snow on the eaves, on the road, and on the trees has quietly melted, turning into water dripping, and the eaves are full of transparent and bright ice edges, of different lengths, the long ones are a foot long, reflecting the colorful light in the sun, Tian Sisi saw this long-lost ice edge, happily ran to the side of the firewood room, took off his gloves, broke a root from under the eaves, and sent it into his mouth, "clucking" to bite and eat, and kept hissing, so cold that his lips were wooden, but he just couldn't help but want to bite.

Donghua and Tsinghua have already taken two of them and bitten them non-stop, eating so much that their mouths are full of white gas, not afraid of cold at all, Tian Sisi only ate two bites and threw away the ice ridge, this body has just recovered from a serious illness, but don't eat it to bed again, she saw that Donghua and Tsinghua had to eat one again, and hurriedly stopped them, children have weak stomachs, and they can't eat more ice in summer, not to mention such a harsh winter.

Tian Sisi looked at his own house, a very ordinary farmhouse, five two-story wooden buildings, there are yards in the front and back, pigs, chickens and ducks and other livestock in the backyard, the front yard is larger than the backyard, there is a large sunning grain flat, and there are two small vegetable plots planted next to it, the ground is full of greens and red pole vegetables, so hairy look, my house is still good, at least it is still a building!

"Sister, are we going to play?" Qinghua saw that her sister was standing still, so she asked.

"Go, where do you want to go?" Tian Sisi asked for the advice of his two younger brothers.

"Go to Zhongjiawan under the old camphor tree to blow up the snow and play." Tsinghua excitedly suggested that today's sister is really good, and she is willing to take them to play.

The Tian family lives in the westernmost part of Yuequan Village, backed by Yuequan Mountain, with a single courtyard, and is not connected to other families in the village, Zhongjiawan is located in the east of the village, and the west of the village is just across a crying river, Tsinghua and Donghua happily lead the way in front, Tian Sisi trotted all the way to follow, splashing a mud spot, and a few points were splashed on the pants.

Tian Sisi frowned, grabbed Donghua and Qinghua, these two guys splashed more on their pants, the two refused to go slowly, if they went late, the good territory would be occupied by others, Tian Sisi threatened them, "The pants are dirty, go home and see how Daddy beats you!" ”

Tian Manyin is just kind to his daughter, and he has always been straightforward about his two sons, so in the eyes of the two Donghua brothers, his father is much more terrifying than his mother, and he immediately slowed down and carefully avoided the muddy places.

After walking for a short distance, there is the grange, door to door, high and low, layered, basically bungalows, rarely two-story buildings, and many of them are thatched roofs, compared with their own houses are really the difference between European-style villas and country cottages.

Tian Sisi's second uncle also lives here, the second uncle's house is on the side of the road, although it is a bungalow, but the courtyard looks obviously more outstanding, the Grange lives in basically the Tian family, except for a few miscellaneous surnames, most of the people surnamed Tian are poor in the old society, and they are long-term workers for the Zhong family on the other side of the river, so the Grange is basically a few collapsed walls and rotten courtyards, although the new society has been more than 20 years, but the general villagers want to build a new house, they can't even think about it.

From the moon spring of Yuequan Mountain, a small stream as thin as a hemp rope flows, and converges into a small river five or six meters wide in the grange, which is the waiing river, the wailing river was originally called the Yuequan River, but I don't know which dynasty it is, there are more than ten children in Yuequan Village who have an accident in the river one after another, and the parents of those children cry and wipe their tears by the river whenever the children's sacrifice day, and the people who hear it are sad, and the name of the crying river also comes from this.

There is a stone bridge on the Wainan River, this stone bridge has been built for many years, it is said that it was built by several landlords in Zhongjiawan in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and it is still strong, but Tian Sisi knows that this bridge will be crossed when the flood occurs in 1998, and her wife was a pity for a while.

After the stone bridge is a large piece of Zhongjiawan, Zhongjiawan is not like the grange of uneven terrain, Zhongjiawan is flat, connected into a piece, like the northern plain in general, most of the people here live with the surname Zhong, of course, there are some miscellaneous surnames, every household in the bay lives densely, most of them are two-story buildings, more than a dozen families are connected together, enclose a big circle, a big yard in the middle of the air.

One of the largest courtyards is Zhong Yubai's family, Zhong Yubai, the largest landlord in Yuequan Village, is also famous in Suicheng, it stands to reason that a big landlord like him has long been dead, but because Zhong Yubai is a good person, he used to be very kind to the long-term workers in the family, not as evil as the landlord next to him, in addition, he also knows how to treat medicine, and saved the lives of many people in the village, so although he was classified as a landlord, but only the land and property of the family were confiscated, and the rebels came down, The village only symbolically criticized Zhong Yubai, and the others did not suffer much.

Before liberation, the Zhong family has always been the master of Yuequan Village, and most of the land in the village and everything on the land belonged to the Zhong family, so during the land reform, Zhongjiawan had two landlords alone, three rich peasants, five or six middle peasants, and most of the others were still poor middle peasants.

At this time, a girl wearing an old cotton jacket came over from the opposite side, with two twisted braids, and two red-headed flowers on the braids, exactly the same as Tian Sisi's head, although the girl was so cold that her face was flushed, and there were many places that were cracked, but it still did not damage her beauty, she and Tian Sisi are two different beauties, Tian Sisi looks very bright, belongs to the mainstream beauty of the moment, and this girl is a very popular "awl face" in later generations, but now it is called "mean face", which is a very unpopular appearance, especially the elderly.

The girl seemed to be going to the river to wash clothes, the hand holding the bucket was swollen like bread, and the red flesh could be seen in the cracked opening, which was miserable, the girl saw Tian Sisi's new ski shirt and beautiful red rain boots on her feet, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, although she concealed it well, but she couldn't hide Tian Sisi, who had the soul of an adult.

The girl greeted Tian Sisi with an amiable smile, "Zhaodi, are you well?" Why don't you come to play with me? ”
