The scale of this county seat in Yunxian County in the north is very small, and at this time, there are only two main streets, crossed. But the victory is in the convenient transportation, the north-south artery of the national highway from the edge of the city crossing. Dense small alleys are interspersed in residential areas, but fortunately, these alleys are horizontal and vertical, and they can always lead to the main road, not like a maze.

The county is dominated by agriculture, but in that era of large and complete, small and many, there were still factories, such as machinery factories, textile factories, flour mills, and so on. It's basically self-sufficient, but with the changes of the times, it has gradually been eliminated and disappeared.

The main street where my grandmother's house is located is a north-south road, about 1,000 meters long, and the north end of the street is where the county government is located; At the south end of the street is the high school in the prefecture.

Grandma's house is in the middle of this street, and the old house originally belonged to the big landlord in the county, but later because his grandfather was literate and hyphenated, he worked in the county party committee and was assigned to his house.

Grandma's house, the neighbors to the north are the county's cultural and educational bureau, water conservancy bureau, agricultural bureau, commercial bureau and other yamen, although the sparrow is small, all kinds of organs, and the south is a residential area.

Diagonally across the street from Grandma's house, across the road is the primary school, and there are some small yamen in the county. If this street is dominated by politics, then walk a few minutes to the south, and when you reach the intersection, you will be led to a commercial district.

Because grandma's house used to be the landlord's house, it is very magnificent, a typical northern courtyard. On the stairs, the black heavy wood double doors. There are also round rusty iron rivets on it, and when you enter the aisle, you can see the tops of the walls on both sides, printed with ** heads.

In the inside, I saw the stone shadow wall, and the stone carved on the shadow wall was a blessing character. When I walked inside, I saw a pomegranate tree planted in front of the left side of the main house, and a jujube tree planted in front of the right front. Lush, sunny, and nutritious.

The main house is also the east house, the east side faces west, and the three main houses with blue bricks and tiles, as well as the hall house, the south house, and the west house are also blue bricks and tiles, but there are two rooms each.

Fang Monan looked at the two big trees in front of him, and thought that the two trees were full of fruits every autumn, and they were full of foodies.

This is the first time I have entered the yard in my memory, and there is a small garden in the back, and there is another yard in the back, but it has been assigned to someone else. Later, after the house was renovated, the two families negotiated to divide the garden equally and erect the courtyard wall, and it became a separate courtyard.

The main house has a high foundation, with six floors of bluestone slabs, and a black wood landing column on the left and right sides of the corridor. On the north side of the corridor, against the wall, a simple kitchenette was built out of wooden planks.

The door to the main house was a double-open black wooden door, and when it opened, it creaked and creaked deeply. Old-fashioned houses generally have thresholds, which are very high, a full 60 centimeters high. It is difficult for two or three-year-olds to step over it. In my memory, most of the times when Fang Monan was trapped by the threshold, he could only raise his hands for adults to hold.

Grandma opened the door, behind the door is a big water tank, grandma hugged Fang Monan over the threshold is a living room, in front of the hanging ** portrait, the painting is a portrait of the chairman standing in front of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. The bluestone long case table below the portrait, the ** bust of white porcelain is placed on it, the left side of the portrait is the black and white posthumous photo of the grandfather, and there are two red vases with the length of a small arm on both sides of the case, which means 'peace and security', and there is a table of eight immortals in front of the long case.

On the left wall is a photo wall, with some black and white photos hanging on the wall, some of them are family photos, and there is even Fang Mennan in it, as a baby.

Looking up, the house is really tall, with a distance of ten meters from the ridge to the ground. This is true of old houses, especially tiled houses. But grandma's house uses many little fingers~]

Regardless of the many years of the past life and this life, Fang Monan is still familiar with this place, looking at everything here with emotion, this life has to start here.

Grandma was busy cleaning up the slightly dusty house she had brought from the countryside, and it seemed that she was not at home, and the youngest daughter was only doing the work under her nose. Look, let Da Chengzi eat at home, you have to make lunch quickly.

Fang Monan, who was unattended, walked into the bedroom, just like in his memory, a writing desk with an alarm clock, a square mirror, and a wooden comb. Inside against the east wall is a large fire kang, which is very warm in winter, and it is no problem to sleep four adults. There was a large wooden box on the kang, a single bed against the south wall, and an old sewing machine under the large window on the west wall.

Fang Monan stroked the familiar and unfamiliar, and unconsciously it was almost noon.

"Mom, as soon as you smell the fragrance of vegetables, you are from the second aunt's house." Before anyone arrived, he heard the crisp and pleasant happy voice of the aunt outside the house.

Fang Monan came out of the house when he heard the voice, stood inside the threshold, and looked at the person who came was his aunt. The age of the flower, even if it is dusty, it can't hide the pearl-like face of the visitor, which is very similar to the big photo of grandpa, with big eyes, a slender figure, and black hair combed with two braids, coiled on the top of the head. He was dressed in old earth-colored clothes, stained with dust. With a smiling face, the other party Mo Nan Dao Xiao Nannan didn't tan, it seemed that he had turned white and beautiful. ”

"Xiaoyan, hurry up and wash, look at the ashes on your body" Grandma came out of the kitchen, holding the freshly fried vegetables. frowned, and went to the county to clean the room again. ”

"Yes, there's a new leader, so the room is repainted, and I'll clean it up today." Auntie pointed to the dirty passage of this body. I looked at my grandmother again, and said in surprise Oh, Mom, not only am my little Nannan's skin white and tender, but your face is about to catch up with her. Didn't they go to harvest wheat, but instead of tanning, they became a lot whiter. ”

"Well, I'm twenty years old and I haven't been serious yet, I'm going to be like that, and I'm not going to be an old monster." Grandma couldn't get used to her dusty body, which proved that even if her daughter worked in the county party committee compound, she didn't sit in the office, but did rough work in logistics, she frowned tightly, and hurriedly urged, "Go and wash, your brother Dacheng is estimated to be there in a while." ”

"Oh," the aunt walked towards the well in the courtyard with an enamel basin and a face towel in it.

"By the way, I'm not here these days, your eldest brother and they're okay," Grandma asked, bringing the food into the house, standing in the hallway. Although it was not done right, the mothers thought it was bad.

As soon as the aunt heard her grandmother, she was so angry that she didn't even call her eldest brother. "He's been kicked out of the house, and he's still talking about what he's doing. I thought that when I got married, I spent all the family's savings, and after I moved out, I never took a penny from the family in a small life, and I mentioned that he thought about it if it wasn't for him...... I won't be so ......" mentioned the past, and she was still indignant.

When my grandfather died, because of the succession, my aunt and my eldest brother had a very unpleasant quarrel with each other, because of the family's financial constraints, they didn't go to high school in order to replace my aunt. Later, the uncle and they went around saying bad things about the aunt, and everyone knew about it, until now she is still doing the work of a temporary worker, hard and tired, and the salary is not high.

"Aren't you about to turn positive now, what do you want it to do" Grandma closed her eyes in pain and said helplessly, the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands were full of meat, who did she say her suffering.

"yes, if only I could turn positive." The aunt pursed her lips and pointed to the dust on her body, "You don't have to do this all day." "It's not that easy to turn positive."

"Who made you not have a high education, only graduated from junior high school, and let you go to school or die. There is a degree that has not been turned positive early, who can I rely on" Grandma was also distressed, and the real reason why she didn't go to school back then was because her family was poor, in order to reduce the burden.

"Hmph, I want to get on, but I can afford it. Okay, don't mention these old sesame seeds and rotten grains, what's the point, it's already over. "My aunt doesn't want to quarrel with my grandmother because of these things, I can't tell it for three days and three nights, and it is difficult for the Qing official to cut off the housework, so why bother because of this idle life, how bad it is to be angry. Changed the topic and said that Brother Dacheng is also here. ”

"Uncle Dachengzi came to see us off, and my grandmother and I brought a lot of them, including white flour, cornmeal, mixed noodles, shoes, and coarse cloth." Fang Menan hurriedly interjected, counting the same words.

The past has passed, Fang Monan must make his family live better in this life, no longer want to be mediocre like in his previous life, he doesn't earn much money, and he doesn't do much work.

My mother, aunt, and their generation, when Fang Monan and their juniors grow up, they have to worry about them again, and the down payment on a house has spent all the savings of their mother's family and in-law's family. This is finally over, and you can rest assured

But when Fang Monan's generation grew up, they had a hard and simple life with a mortgage, and they finally paid it off. The building is brittle, the building is crooked, the building is thin, the house has finally collapsed, it is old, it is old, it is gone, and there is nowhere to say that it is really justified and miserable. It's terrifying to think about, and I don't think about my past life, but the most important thing in front of me is the most.

"Mom, Xiao Nannan, I went back to the countryside, so neat and organized." After the aunt finished washing, she looked at her with wide eyes.

"Hehe....... don't you still have a lot of it, our little Nannan has grown up, he can dress, eat, go to the toilet, and don't wear open crotch pants anymore. Haha...... "Thinking of this, grandma is still smiling so hard that she can't close her mouth."

At that time, the children were all free-range, and the adults in the family either worked or worked in the fields, did not take care of the children, and even ran naked all over the streets in the summer.

"Wow, when you go back to the countryside, you become better than in the city, your life is better, I'm sad, Mom, you see I've lost weight." The aunt rubbed her grandmother's shoulder.

"Auntie, I'm gone." Daseiko stood in the courtyard with a loud voice and shouted.

"It's just right, wash your hands and start eating," Grandma shouted happily when she saw him outside, and turned back to the house to set up the dishes and chopsticks.

Lunch is set on a small square table in the living room that can be moved at any time, and it is very hearty, with four dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried beans with tomatoes, eggplant with garlic, cold cucumber, and rice as the staple food.

Fang Monan stayed in the countryside for nearly a month, eating only noodles or soup noodles at noon. This is the first time I have eaten rice. Noodles are the main dishes, and rice is also eaten but not much.

"Hehe....... it's better for my mother to be here, so I'll improve the food." The aunt sat on the small bench and swallowed her saliva.

"Come, Da Chengzi, sit down and eat." Grandma greeted.

The weather was very hot, but fortunately there were two big trees to shade the sun, but they also ate with relish. They chatted while eating, and grandma asked Da Chengzi if the affairs in the county were done, and he said that he would leave after eating.

After eating, his grandmother didn't leave him behind, and watched him disappear into the street in a mule cart. At this time, Fang Monan was also tired, so he climbed on the kang and went to take a lunch break. After the aunt cleaned up the table and stools, washed the dishes and chopsticks, said hello to her grandmother, and went to sleep, she was almost tired to death.

Grandma looked at my aunt's back and said I went to the Cultural and Educational Bureau next door to wash clothes, it is tap water over there, wash quickly, after you wake up, call Nannan up, don't forget to lock the door. She told her aunt like a child.

Auntie waved her hand and said.
