Chapter Ninety-Nine: Childhood Memories
Li Ziyu took Xiaoshan out of He Shigui's house, and the sister and brother walked forward silently.
After walking for a while, Li Ziyu stopped in front of the old village chief Zhao Qing's house. She turned to Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, what do you think about logging?" ”
Xiaoshan thought for a while and said, "I think Uncle Gui is very reasonable, although we have a few dollars in our hands, it is better to save a little." I agreed to go up the hill and cut wood. ”
Li Ziyu nodded: "Well, I think so too." Let's go to Grandpa Zhao now, going up the mountain to cut wood is a big deal, we should inform him. Besides, who should we look for, although we have a little bit of a spectrum in our hearts, if Grandpa Zhao comes out, things will be much easier. ”
"Well, sister, I listen to you."
The two sisters and brothers turned around and entered Zhao Qing's house.
Zhao Qing's house is in Daobei, and as soon as Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan entered the courtyard, they saw that there were still many people in the courtyard.
It turned out that when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Zhao Qing's second son, Zhao Zhenmin, opened a grocery store in Shiyan Town, and came back with his daughter-in-law and two sons.
Zhao Zhenyou's son, who studied in a private school in the town, also came back, so there was a rare liveliness in the yard.
Li Ziyu is still the Zhao Zhenmin she saw last time she repaired the house, and Zhao Zhenmin didn't ask for her salary last time, which made her very embarrassed.
This time, in addition to Zhao Zhenyou's daughter-in-law Aunt Zhao and Xiaohua, there were three and a half sons in the courtyard, who looked a few years older than Xiaoshan, and knew that these were Zhao Qing's three grandsons.
Seeing that their heads were together and they didn't know what to discuss, Li Ziyu paused in his steps. Still walked in.
"Auntie!" Li Ziyu greeted Aunt Zhao loudly.
"Auntie!" The hill did the same.
At this time, everyone in the courtyard found them, and Xiaohua ran over as soon as possible, and shouted happily, "Oops." How are you? I'll look at the wind blowing today? Ah, the northwest wind is blowing you? Haha"
Xiaohuaniang came over and said with a smile: "This girl, she is really crazy." Xiaoyu, Xiaoshan, come on in. Come on, these three stinky boys are not at home, do you still recognize them? ”
Seeing this, the three and a half sons walked over. A handsome, slender and tall young man who was about fourteen or fifteen years old looked at Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoyu! Hill! I'm Zhongrui, don't you remember? When I was a child, I took you to the river to touch fish and shrimp, and Xiaoyu also made leeches cry in fright. Forgot all? ”
Xiaoshan said happily: "Brother Zhongrui, I remember. You took us up to the trees to dig up birds' eggs, to catch grasshoppers and snakes in the woods."
Li Ziyu thought carefully about the memory of the original owner, and really had something that made the leech cry.
She was probably five or six years old. A group of children led by Zhao Zhongrui. Hula ran to the river. The hill also followed in a bumpy way.
Li Ziyu was worried about her younger brother, so she followed. She watched the children playing happily by the river, and when she saw that the river was not deep, she tentatively went down to the river.
The children in the countryside are not particular about the generosity of men and women, and Li Ziyu also joined in the ranks of playing, forgetting the time. When he came up from the river, Li Ziyu was horrified to find that he had two or three black leeches nailed to his legs. She burst into tears. And he cried hoarsely.
In the end, Zhao Zhongrui ran over and dragged the leeches on her legs one by one for her. She just finished crying. Since then, she has never dared to cross the river again.
Li Ziyu was really impressed by this embarrassing scene, which made her a little embarrassed. She nodded at Zhao Zhongrui: "Brother Zhongrui!" Of course I remember such a humiliating thing. ”
In fact, Li Ziyu misses this childhood memory in her heart. Because in the future memory, there is no longer a happy childhood, there is only heart-rending pain.
A young man who is slightly smaller than Zhao Zhongrui, slightly shorter, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, introduced himself: "I'm Zhongkai, maybe I don't see each other much in the town all year round, and I often come to play when we meet each other in the future." ”
Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan naturally agreed, and obediently called "Brother Zhong Kai".
The last chubby boy who was about the same age as Li Ziyu came over: "My name is Zhong Wei, you must take me with you next time you remember to play in the river." Also, I'm not afraid of leeches. What's that, Xiaoyu, you just follow me, and I'll protect you. ”
After speaking, he patted his chest with a proud face, and he was as responsible as he wanted.
Li Ziyu heard the black line on her face, and quickly changed the topic: "Auntie, is grandpa at home?" ”
"At home, at home, you guys go in quickly."
"Hey! You haven't called me yet. Zhong Wei was anxious. Is it easy for him? In the town, he calls other people's brothers, and it's easy for someone to call him brother, but he wants to leave if he doesn't call. So what's the point?
Li Ziyu held back a laugh, and Xiaoshan also called "Zhong Viagra" seriously.
"Hey! Wow, that's good! One more shout."
"Alright, stinky boy. Xiaoyu, they still have business. ”
Xiaohuaniang slapped Zhong Wei on the head, and a group of people couldn't help laughing.
In the laughter, Li Ziyu said to Xiaohua Niang: "Auntie, I'm going to find grandpa." Then he said to the three teenagers, "Three elder brothers, go to my house to play another day, and next year my two younger brothers are going to go to a private school in the town, and I want you to take care of them." ”
"It's easy to say, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiaoshan as my brother!"
Without waiting for Zhong Rui and Zhong Kai to speak, Zhong Wei took the words and protected them one after another.
Zhong Rui said simply: "Don't worry! ”
Zhong Kai also nodded: "Don't worry!" ”
Li Ziyu took Xiaoshan into the house at this time.
In the room, Zhao Qing and his wife were sitting on the kang, and Zhao Qing was still holding the cigarette pouch and pot that he never left his hand, smoking dry cigarettes. Grandma Zhao was on the kang, and a woman in her thirties was making a thread ball, saying something with joy on her face.
Zhao Zhenyou and Zhao Zhenmin were both sitting on chairs in the room, both of them looking at their parents on the kang with heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Zhao Zhenyou and Zhao Zhenmin look very similar, and they both follow the old man Zhao Qing. The bodies are very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and a very elegant temperament.
The woman sitting on the edge of the kang had long thin skin and tender flesh, which was very delicate and eye-catching. Wen Wen is quiet, not at all like a woman in the village.
Li Ziyu knew that this must be Zhao Qing's second daughter-in-law, Zhao Zhenmin's daughter-in-law, and Zhong Kai and Zhong Wei's mother. It seems like I've seen it before, and that's been a long time. Zhao Zhenmin's daughter-in-law rarely comes home, and her maiden home is in the town, so she has been in the town for a longer time. In terms of words and deeds, she does not look like a village woman, but like a well-educated official wife.
Li Ziyu greeted the elders in the house one by one, and finally said to the woman, "This is the second aunt, right?" I'm Xiaoyu, this is my younger brother Xiaoshan, and I've seen my second aunt. ”
Zhong Kainiang straightened her body, looked at Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan and said lightly: "You're welcome, you have something to do with your father, then you can talk." Mother, I'm over. ”
