Chapter Eighty-Five: Homecoming

Seeing off the reluctant cheap sister, Su You and Su Shi inspected the Land Temple again.

Su Shi wiped the pine cabinet: "Yes, this is already stronger than the state school." ”

Su You said: "I am not here during this time, so I will ask you and Ziyou here." ”

Su Xiaomei asked, "Brother, are you going to leave us?" ”

Su You rode on Su Shi's little donkey: "How could my brother leave you?" My brother has to go back and prepare food, and everyone will take turns to play in the future. This year's festival, everyone comes to Kelongli, and we celebrate the New Year together! ”

……

The little donkey ticked and its hooves made a crisp sound on the stone pavement.

Two wicker bookcases hung behind the donkey's buttocks, and on the saddle in front sat a child, and in front of the child hung a blanket.

In the slack season, only rice stakes are left in the paddy fields by the roadside, and a few geese and ducks are quacking by the water.

Although it is idle farming, but where can the countryside really be idle, farmers are weaving bamboo fences, bamboo; repair of grass roofs; Maintenance of farm implements......

The women went in groups of three or five, looking for a sister house with an open dam outside the house, fighting needles and cleverness, and gossiping about homely things.

The grapefruit on the treetops, the heavy bent branches, are ripe for seeing.

Su You passed by, and he provoked the aunts who had already given birth to babies to laugh.

"Ouch, which little Langjun is this, he is really handsome!"

"Xiao Langjun, do you remember the milky taste? Why don't you take a break, the slave family has plenty of milk, and you can choose between the left and the right? ”

Then there was a burst of laughter, and Su You pinched the leg and made the little donkey speed up.

The little donkey snorted in protest and continued to walk slowly.

Su You had no choice but to smile and arch his hand at these women, begging to be spared.

The women burst into laughter, and one of them even threw out a colored thread female red: "Xiao Langjun is so interesting, this is for you to play." ”

Su You took it in the air, but it was a cloth bat sachet, and the craftsmanship was not bad, so he accepted it without pretension and thanked him.

In this way, I went all the way west along the small river, and soon entered Anzhen Township.

Soon a child saw him: "Little oil! You're back? ”

Then a child also ran on the field: "Xiaoyou is really you!" ”

Su You smiled: "Ha! Skinny baby, mouse! I miss it. ”

The baby in front of him is a mouse: "Xiaoyou heard that you went to the city, I want to come to see you, my mother won't let me, saying that there are kidnappers in the city, is it true?" Isn't it fun in town? ”

Su You got off the donkey, opened the saddle coat, and took out a handful of dried fruits: "For you to eat, the city is like that." ”

Soon, before he reached the old house in Kelongli, a large group of children followed around the little donkey.

Su You was secretly proud, the tiger power of the child king was still there.

At the foot of the hill the river suddenly became wider, forming a large bay, where the children of Kolongli were a paradise.

In the past, this river bay was covered with green aquatic plants, and in the summer, it was so thick that even children could step on it.

Since last year, when the children were told that this grass can also be fed to pigs and chickens, the aquatic weeds have been cleaned and harvested three times a year, and now winter is the season when the aquatic plants grow slowly, and they only swagger softly underwater.

A clear mountain stream flows into the river from the center of the bay, and the banks are densely covered with bamboo forests.

The bluestone pavement turned into steps, passing through the bamboo forest, and when the view was reopened, it became a Zhuangzi.

In front of Zhuangzi is a large pond made of square stones, there are carved low railings on the side of the pond, and there are stone platforms that go to the water, which are set up close to the water, which is convenient for washing and washing vegetables.

To the left, right and rear, are the building complexes.

The more you go to the center, the bigger the building, the more exquisite the materials and labor, although Su Wei was demoted, but once served as the prime minister, in the words of the uncle, the rotten ship also has 3,000 nails.

Therefore, the old mansion and ancestral hall of the Su family in the center are still relatively grandiose and magnificent, but they are full of vicissitudes of life.

The surrounding area is a building with blue tiles and white walls, and then outside, there are mud walls and tile roofs, and then it becomes scattered, distributed among the fields, forests, bamboo hills and mountains, and there are mostly mud walls, bamboo walls and thatched roofs.

In front of the ancestral hall, surrounded by a large pond, there are several large trees, several of which have smooth and tall bark, which are yellow oranges.

There are still some fruits with dry skins hanging on the tree, which the uncle specially kept for Su You.

On the edge of the pond, a few trees with a crown cover are old purple pears that have been hundreds of years old, and Su You's favorite is the scenery of pear blossoms and snow in the spring outside the ancestral hall.

On the left side of the pond, there is a newly repaired courtyard that is particularly eye-catching, with plain wood beam rafters, gates, and regular stone pillars and brick walls, although it is smaller, but in terms of the fineness and beauty of the design, it is not worse than the ancestral hall.

Thinking of the old uncle, Su You couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran towards the ancestral hall.

The old man was sitting on a low chair, closing the dustpan with bamboo silk, and saw Su You, who was wearing a white cloth placket, a blue persimmon silk straight jacket, and white socks and silk boots under his feet, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo, which rich young master is here?" ”

Su You stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Old uncle, don't make trouble, Su You is back." ”

The old uncle smiled: "I went to the city once, I know more etiquette, so it's good, I have to write?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Come on, my sister-in-law proposed a Mingrun, and cousin Mingyun said it was good, so I used it." ”

The old uncle nodded: "Well, this word is good, when the lamp is lit, it is bright, and when it is cooked, it is moist." ”

Su You hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle, don't explain it to the village!" This word comes from Liu Xian's "Wenxin Carving Dragon Essays" in the Southern Dynasty. ”

"I am Shu Han Fu Wenzong Yangxiong, Liu Xian's evaluation of him 'Qin Si Wenge, Ye Shen Summary, Broken Wen Xuan, Zhao for "Lianzhu", although his words are small, but bright and run." This is the real origin of this word, not what you say! ”

The old uncle touched Su You's shoulder and laughed: "Not bad, not bad!" I also learned to drop my book bag, and I have made great progress! Well, but I think it's better to light the lamp and cook the food! ”

Su You: "......"

At this time, the mouse led the donkey in: "Little Brother You, where is this donkey?" ”

The old uncle got up and said: "This is the ancestral hall, don't let it in, the ancestors are to blame, you go to the orange tree at the door, and then come to take care of it when I clean it up." ”

Turned around and brought out a dustpan from the side room of the ancestral hall, with some dried fruits such as melon seeds and walnuts in it: "In the past, when Xiaoyou was there, when didn't a few babies come?" As soon as this little oil leaves, you won't come to the door! It's cold all day long, and I don't have a place to distribute melon seeds. ”

The babies came around to grab the food, and shouted nonsense: "Thank you, Hachiko." ”

Followed by the villagers, it was another lively scene.

"Little oil is back? Ouch, really! This outfit is so beautiful! Sister-in-law bought it? ”

"It seems to be a little fatter, why is it still so dark after staying in the city for so long?"

"It's good to be back, by the way, so some sake lees are brought back, it's good! Chickens and ducks, as well as piglets, eat that and it's called a crazy growth! This is thanks to Xiaoyou, so small, I didn't forget the folks when I went to the city. ”

"Xiaoyou, your third brother is very anxious, how are you doing in the city? If you want me to say that I'm not used to it, I'll come back, Keshao Jiqiu, that's also half of Kei! ”

"I said that you still don't care about your man? Dare to scold in front of the ancestors of the ancestral hall! ”

"Am I scolding? That's what I heard from the city show! Definitely good words! ”

"I believe you don't have Mimi in the pumpkin!"

"If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Xiaoxiao......"

Su You hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Well, this is what Confucius said, it means that to be a bow family, the baby will bend the bamboo first, and the baby will be able to mend the skin first, which means that he can inherit the family business." So Sixi's statement is not wrong, farming is also something I underestimated......"

"How's that? It's still a young uncle who is knowledgeable! The orange trees and tea leaves really look alive! ”

"Cut! You didn't say that before, you also said that if the yellow wattle stick is thin, you have to smoke it together, and the meat will hurt even more......"

"You're a dog...... day"

Although the noise made Su You one and two big, but this nostalgia made him enjoy it very much.

The families came to see the strangeness, and finally gradually dispersed, leaving only a few old ones in the ancestral hall, drinking water and chatting.

The old uncle greeted Su You: "There are a lot of things added to the kitchen, and there are a lot of tools, and what...... The experimental equipment is all sent from the city by you and I won't use those guys, you go and get a table by yourself and greet your old brothers. ”

Su You said with a smile: "That's okay, those brothers sit down for a while, and they will get it soon." ”

said that it was an elder brother, and they were all people who ran up in their fifties, and on weekdays, when the old uncle wanted to clean up Su You, he didn't stop him, and now he should be filial piety.
