When the Chinese New Year is approaching, the temperature in the Northeast has reached about minus 30 degrees. It's so cold to the bones. In the Northeast in the 70s, you could form ice skates as soon as you pee outside.

Even such harsh weather can't stop the younger brother Dongzi in the summer from going out to recruit cats and dogs to make people suspicious. Followed by a group of children of this size with runny noses, snow on their pants, and wet cotton shoes, running around the village.

In a short time, due to the cold air and exhaled ha, it can form frost and hang on the exposed eyebrows.

In the summer, on such a day, she wore her mother's big scarf around her head, showed her eyes, wore a red cotton jacket and dark red cotton shoes, and walked with difficulty in the snow.

Today, her father and mother went to the next village to eat and help Zhang Luo.

That's it in the countryside. Whenever there is a big or small affair in someone's family, they are all helping each other as if they were leaving each other's favors.

You triangle, he has five hairy land, catch up with the things that can help the handle do some hard work, and everyone goes in advance, not pretending to be lazy. But there is no shortage of bad people at any time, and there are also people who eat mats and take off their children with paws, and they can't wait for the whole family to go to have a meal. But after all, such people are still in the minority.

Living in the countryside, everyone also pays attention to face, and can't go out to make people pay attention to their backs, right? In the future, if the child says that he is kissing, how shameless will he be mentioned?

As mentioned earlier, it can be seen from Comrade Xia Aiguo's attitude towards finding a partner that he is a good-looking person, a little arrogant and has a good idea.

For example, even if one day the poor land reaches Cheng Dù, who is ding, he would rather work and exhaust him to death, and he will not take it to his relatives' door to beg for food. In modern parlance, it is a person who has a special sense of self-esteem.

Comrade Xia Aiguo doesn't look like a peasant, but that style definitely belongs to the tall and noble style in the village. So dragging his family to the next village to eat a banquet, Xia Aiguo couldn't do it. Of course, the brothers and sisters in the summer have also been educated since childhood, and they can be lazy and greedy at home, and they are especially good at hiding when they go out.

Two left-behind boys and girls plus a little kid with a runny nose and a dog, today is an old cat is not at home, and the mouse is in the house. Let's have fun today, and go out to find someone to chat. Xia Qiu, summer suspects that half of the young men in the village are going to smoke secretly.

I walked for about 30 minutes to arrive at my uncle's house. This distance is far away, the uncle's house is the old house of Old Man Xia, and later the uncle added a layer of red bricks to the roof, which is much more magnificent than other families in the village.

The small courtyard of the uncle's house looks quite neat. Pushing open the big iron door, a hunched little son and old lady came out of the warehouse next to it. The hair was neatly combed, and the clothes were shabby, but they looked clean.

"Grandma, Tian Tian came to see you."

"Yo, my little granddaughter is here, what's the matter? Is it good to have a cold? Come into the house, the grandmother in the house is warm. ”

In the summer, walk a few steps to help the old lady get firewood. As soon as he entered the house, before he could see it clearly, a crisp voice floated over: "Who should I be?" Isn't this the most accustomed little granddaughter in front of grandparents? Oops, this is really the sun coming out in the west, I don't study Lin sister at home on such a cold day, what are you doing when you come out? ”

Xia glanced at her second cousin Xia Ling, who was about the same height as herself, about 1.65 meters. Single eyelid but large eyes. The corner of the eye is a bit of the eye-catching burn that the old generation said. With a high nose bridge, a small thin mouth skin, and slightly dark skin, it looks like a powerful look. The overall appearance is still good in the village.

But it's not comparable to summer. No wonder the yin and yang are weird, often looking for summer stubble.

The second cousin is used to being top-notch, and she can't get used to seeing her grandparents' eccentric eyes, so she secretly sends food and drink to the summer with her own things.

In the heart of the second cousin, isn't it because the summer is good, and the grandparents have received the good benefits of marrying the sister-in-law, so they feel that they are better than themselves after the summer is designated, and they can also take care of their own mother's family. Coupled with the sweet mouth in summer, it is really not a waste of her nickname Tiantian, and the two elders who coaxed her family to dig out their hearts and lungs.

Every time my mother knew that the two old men were eccentric to the uncle's family, she was angry and couldn't sleep. I think I don't know how to serve my grandparents, and I can't cover it.

Xia Ling has an extroverted personality, unlike the boss Xia Feng, who doesn't like to squeak like a gourd, so Xia Ling listened to her mother muttering to her.

Because Xia Ling heard this, she was happy to see her grandparents when they mentioned sweetness, and she was even more disdainful. You said that they are all granddaughters of about the same age, why is there such a big difference? So after Xia Ling was ten years old, she was able to figure out some of the world's sophistication, and she began to intensify her efforts to see that Xia was either sour or trying to bully her.

A few years ago, it was okay, but when she snatched the dead girl's things or secretly beat her, she would cry and not sue. In the last two years, this dead girl has learned to talk back and sue. As soon as she walked on the front foot, the grandfather on the back foot told her father. Xia Ling has not made a good profit after bullying Xia Xia in the past two years. But it is also habitual to say a few sour words in his mouth.

"Reiko, your sister has been walking with the snow for a long time, and you don't pour hot water to drink, and you say it's useless. Besides, who is Sister Nalin? Don't be uneducated and don't know. What kind of life is that, put it on your sister. Go back to your house quickly, we don't listen to you. ”

The summer is happy, the old lady is quite able to crook the building, and even Sister Lin's life has been rectified.

Xia Ling glared at Xia, probably disgusted that she was tired of her as soon as she came, and said, turned around and twisted her waist and went back to the house, don't you say it, the height and the small waist, the twisting and twisting walks of a few steps are quite attractive to the eyes of Summer. It's a pity that the summer is a female drop.

The old lady dragged Summer back to her own house, closed the door tightly with her hands, and looked mysteriously before entering the house and sitting cross-legged on the kang.

In the summer, this is a situation.

It turns out that the old lady loves to follow the eight hexagrams in the summer. The old lady is also strange, she doesn't like to talk about these things with her little daughter-in-law Su Meimei, she loves to talk about summer, and she doesn't care if she can understand it in summer.

You all say that the old man and the old lady are eccentric, and they do a good job in the summer. Since I was a child, I have listened to the nagging of old ladies and have never been impatient. With a little white face on her back, she stares at you with big eyes, and the message revealed by that little expression is understood by the old lady, and Summer longs for her to tell interesting things and to tell them thoroughly.

Although the old lady is uneducated, she is really full of stories. She also needs an audience, and she needs to be dissatisfied with the panic of not talking to her.

The eldest daughter-in-law was too strict, and she couldn't go with her. The younger daughter-in-law was okay when she first got married, but later the younger son took care of her and stopped chatting with her. Her youngest son Xia Aiguo said that spreading gossip is called spreading his wife's tongue, and his daughter-in-law is not paying much attention to these. Let the old lady have less fun gossiping.

The old lady is principled and thinks she has an identity. When Old Man Xia was the village head, in order to appear fair and less troublesome, he strictly asked the old lady not to talk about the long and short chatter of the West family with those village women, for fear that it would be rumored that this was the meaning of the village chief Old Man Xia.

Later, the old man came down, helped his eldest son and went up again to be the first leader in the village. The old lady was finally able to get together with the old sisters to pick up this and that. It's a pity that she has developed the habit of not speaking in public for so many years, and she has become an image of an old sister who doesn't listen to it.

It is conceivable that she is really lonely, and there are so many good stories of whom's family and whose family are full of belly, and there is nowhere to say. At this time, the little granddaughter was born, and from being able to respond to uh-huh-ahhh

Maybe it's because of the long time for the summer, and listening to my grandmother talk about the past since I was a child is like a commonplace, and she doesn't bother at all.

At the beginning, when I went home, I learned from Su Meimei, and after Xia Aiguo heard it a few times, he hugged Xia to educate: Girl, remember it in the future, no matter what we hear others say to you, you have to keep it a secret.

Well, after that, the old lady had to notify her in advance and let her tell her parents, Xia said. I didn't say if I could go home and spread the word, but the summer was like a recycling bin, sometimes I forgot it, and sometimes I absorbed it.

The old lady climbed onto the kang first, and then went to the kang cabinet to dig out and take out a sewing box. When I opened it, there were hazelnuts and pine nuts inside, as well as a large pair of tongs.

"Here, the milk is for you. This thing has a lot of oil, you make up for it. ”

In the summer, I also put my slippers on the kang, stuffed my little cold feet under the kang quilt, and began to clamp loose nuts with pliers while holding the box. He also asked: "What about my uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law?" ”

"Didn't your father and mother go to the next village for dinner?"

Summer nodded.

"Well, then your uncle went like your father. That family has played with your father and your uncle until they are big. It is estimated that he took advantage of the lack of work in the winter to hold a banquet for the wedding of the children in the family. Both of his brothers have to be courteous, if you want to say that your eldest brother {the eldest brother here refers to Xia Wen, the only son of Uncle Xia's family}, has children, and your brother should also find someone to settle down, does your mother have a charter? ”

In the countryside, their old Xia family belongs to the type of late marriage and late childbearing. And in the village, it is still a little difficult to have children. In fact, it is all love to have children a few years later. I also often love my children when I am old.

Aunt Xia only had grandparents when they were quite old. At that time, the eldest aunt served the sister-in-law to take care of her son. The eldest aunt is indeed a thumbs up in terms of filial piety to the elderly. It can also be said that the sister-in-law was brought up by the eldest aunt, and the two sisters-in-law have a deep relationship.

But the feelings are deep, but there is no common topic. The eldest aunt is too strict, too rigid, and never likes to communicate feelings when she works alone, so the sister-in-law generally looks for Su Meili in a homely manner. Discuss big and small things with Su Meimei.

It stands to reason that Su Meili communicates more with her sister-in-law, so her sister-in-law should be more biased, right? But every time the sister-in-law goes back to her parents' house and is not empty-handed, she still brings the most things to the eldest aunt. It is conceivable that the eldest uncle's dedication to the Lao Xia family is indeed worthy of recognition.

Not to mention the late birth, my father and mother are also old, and it took many years to have the now seven-year-old Xia Dong. So the old lady is not worried about this.

"Well, I didn't hear my father and mother mention this, and I don't know what my brother likes. My brother recently learned the carpenter's trade with my father, and I don't think he has that mind. ”

"Then we have to hurry. How old are they? There is the one who got married early, and the children are all embraced. It's just me and Reiko in this house right now. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have returned to their parents' house, and your eldest aunt has gone to your eldest sister's. I can't guess what is going on with Xia Feng's girl. I saw that your eldest aunt took a few catties of white noodles from home when she left.

At the beginning, I didn't agree with Xia Feng marrying such a poor family, and your eldest aunt said that your brother-in-law was really good at work. She valued these and agreed to such a family.

Or don't say that you are young and careless! Your eldest sister and wife are good, but the family is not good, the widowed mother has taken her son for decades, can she have a good personality?

Your eldest sister is still honest, and she can't be bullied to death. You talk about your eldest sister working in the field, her mother-in-law will bring two nests, not even saliva, twenty years old girl's family, tired older than your mother, full of vegetables, what is this?

Ay! People like ours are married to their family, I don't know how to be grateful and bully the daughter of the old Xia family, I think it's because your aunt is too soft and was bullied like this.

Your uncle and your aunt both said that they couldn't come to the door, for fear that people would say that our family was bullied by village cadres. It would be nice to say that it would be nice to pay more subsidies to make up for the day. I see, it was the widow Li who took this point, and after sprinkling it, she found that our family did not go to her to settle accounts, and she was even more capable of being a demon. That Li Qunfa is also a wreck, he is a father, and he listens to Widow Li. ”

At this time in the summer, listening to my grandmother talk about the affairs of my sister's house in the lobby is much more detailed than I remember.

The eldest sisters in my memory are all hard-working and hard-working. The eldest aunt doesn't like to laugh or talk to her daughter, and the eldest sister's character is to follow the eldest aunt.

It's also so dull, but you have to say that her eldest sister is really capable, unlike the second sister Xia Ling, who has a mouth that can hurt people and hurt people. If the second sister marries into this kind of family, it is estimated that she will be able to lift the roof of the house, and then she will return to her parents' house.

However, the second sister has a high vision, and she doesn't agree with the kind of poor family that the eldest aunt is looking for.

"Grandma, where's my grandfather?"

"He's not ready to go out and find someone to play chess. It's just a stinky chess basket, and he still loves it, regardless of him. ”

In the summer, she put a few pine nuts that she had saved in half a day in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady put them back in the hands of the summer.

"Grandma doesn't like to eat this thing, you eat it when it's hot, obedient."

"Grandma, you just closed the door and peeked out, are you going to tell me something?"

"Yo, look at Grandma's memory." The old lady went to the kang cabinet again, took out a small handkerchief, and opened it to see that there was a cloth ticket inside.

In the summer, this is the first time I've seen this thing up close. In this era, you need to have a ticket to buy anything, and most people save it and don't dare to spend it. Only when there is a shortage of food and clothing during the New Year's holiday, it will be taken out. These days, you can't buy anything if you have money or a ticket. So this ticket is important.

"Take it for you, go back and give it to your mother, let her go to the county to buy you a piece of flower cloth a year ago, make a cotton jacket, and wear new clothes for the New Year."

The old lady was reluctant to use these things by the two old men, so they might save them. There is also a possibility that it is secretly given by the sister-in-law every time she comes back, the old lady makes new clothes for her, and she and the old man Xia are not a new one! The last time she saw her grandfather wearing the broken cotton jacket that she picked up her brother-in-law, there were so many patches that didn't have any new ones.

The more I think about summer, the less it tastes. This thing is hot, I really can't ask for it, she is not so ignorant as the original summer, and she thinks that her grandparents should be the best for her.

Summer's heart was hot, and her eyes were a little hot, she sniffed, and just about to stuff it back for the old lady, she heard the sound of the outhouse door "clanging", and Summer was startled, and her tears were scared back, and she shivered.

The old lady's face did not change, she reacted very quickly, and took the handkerchief bag and stuffed it into the waistband of her summer pants. Then he didn't care if the handkerchief bag could fall down his trouser leg, so he opened the door and went out......
