Although it is the Chinese New Year, the mood of the adults is much worse than in previous years. No matter how www.biquge.info cover up, the gloom clouds and slight sighs on the face still appear from time to time, and anxiety and melancholy often hit the heart.

"Clean up the house, your second sister and her family won't be able to come in a while?" Grandma Xiao said to the third aunt.

"Okay. I even washed the clothes I took off a year ago, and put water on the third day of the new year today. The third aunt agreed and went out to get busy.

It was almost noon, and the second aunt and the second aunt came with the youngest child in their arms. The family welcomed them into the house, and while bringing food to the children, they shushed the cold and asked for warmth.

"Hungry, huh? Let's eat it all the time. My aunt said.

"Not hungry, eating late. It's two meals, and I'll do it later, and I'll eat it on the kang first. The second aunt stopped my aunt.

"Second sister, why didn't you bring the boss here? My mother misses him. The third aunt hugged the second sister's child, and at the same time pushed the second sister onto the kang and let her sit on the kang head to warm up.

"You damn girl, you won't give me a reply. That day, you walked on the front foot, and I sent your second brother-in-law on the back foot. You ran so fast, and your second brother-in-law didn't catch up with you. When we arrived at our door, I saw that the beards had surrounded our house, and many people were arrested. Your second brother-in-law, a coward, didn't dare to enter the courtyard, he hid outside and peeked secretly, and then the beards were gone, and he didn't dare to enter the house. You dead girl, you are so bold that you scared me to death, you can't provoke them anymore, and let the whole family worry. The second aunt took off her shoes and went to the kang, and the third aunt was counted at the same time.

"This beard really can't be messed with, it's too domineering. I heard that the Yun family compound offended them, and when the young lady of the Yun family compound got married, she let the beard be robbed halfway, and I heard that the girls were robbed to the mountain, these inhumane beards, do everything, and we can't afford to provoke others. The second uncle-in-law also added.

"Really, these beards are too evil to talk about heavenly principles! What kind of revenge do you have to go to Yun Er Ye to report, how can you rob other girls? Haizi was very worried about Monroe.

"I heard that it was released again, but I don't know if it's true or not." The second aunt said.

"The Yun family compound deserves this retribution. Why did you put it back? The third aunt was a little puzzled.

"There's everything, and no one can say what's going on, but it's been robbed anyway. With the strength of the Yun family's compound, people can always find a way to solve it, so we don't have to worry about it. The second aunt said.

Haizi really hoped that Monroe would be robbed up the mountain and protected by bandits. When he and his third aunt go up the mountain, they will be able to meet, and they will be a little happy in their hearts. He guessed that this matter might be related to the third aunt, and at this moment, Haizi not only admired the third aunt, but also relied on it psychologically.

The third aunt glanced back at Haizi. Haizi seemed to understand something, and stopped asking.

"Eighty percent of this child has urine, so I took him out. You don't have to move, eldest sister and second sister, I'll come back and cook for you in a while, you can nag well, the family is affectionate, and I'll be busy alone. The third aunt cut off the conversation and went out with the child in her arms.

"Don't freeze the child, come back quickly, you'll be stunned for anything." Grandma Xiao was disgusted.

The second aunt's family lived until the sixth day of junior high school. It was Grandpa Xiao who didn't let him go, saying that he couldn't come a few times throughout the year, and he would stay for a few more days during the New Year. Early in the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandpa Xiao set up the car and said that he was going to see off his second daughter's family in person. I also brought some forage with me in the car, and I was going to stay at my daughter's house for two nights and then come back. Grandma Xiao complained that Grandpa Xiao was an old, and it was not too late to send it back and stay for two nights. But it's just talking, and the family agrees that Grandpa Xiao shouldn't worry, go there to relax, and go to a few more relatives. Anyway, it's nothing at the moment, just come back in a few more days.

At the end of the first month, Grandpa Xiao came back, looking a little tired, but he was very happy when he entered the door, picked up the iron egg and kissed it, and said loudly: "Let's eat early, I'm hungry, I'm tired enough to choke." ”

"I can really live. The second girl didn't give you enough food, and shouted that she was hungry when she entered the door. Grandma Xiao went down to the ground to help her aunt cook, and at the same time counted her wife, but she was still very happy to see her wife come back.

After eating, Grandpa Xiao asked his uncle to go with him to play cards, and he was still very happy and happy. For three days in a row, it was like this, and Grandma Xiao said that this old man was crazy. Haizi also felt that something was wrong with Grandpa Xiao, why wasn't he so sad? Bacheng came up with some good idea, otherwise Grandpa Xiao wouldn't be like this.

Sure enough, after eating on the thirteenth night of the first lunar month, Grandpa Xiao said that he would no longer go out to play cards today, and beckoned the whole family to get together, saying that he was discussing something.

"I've been looking for Chen's shotgun. After sending the second girl home, I went overnight, more than 400 miles back and forth, and I was really tired enough. On this road, it was cold and snowy, and I still didn't know the way, but thanks to the brisk plough climbing, I came back so quickly. Chen Da Shotgun agreed to take in the three girls and Haizi, and let them move into the forest to live with his family. I think this is the only way to do this, and I can't let them be beards if I say anything, and I will hide for two years before talking. "It turned out that Grandpa Xiao had a plan, but he didn't tell his family, and he went into the mountain by himself under the pretext of sending the girl.

"Daddy told me about it, and I agreed with him. Chen Da shotgun is very famous in the mountains, the gun is accurate, the prey is caught, and it is popular. There are houses in and out of the mountains, and if you live in the mountains, ordinary people can't find them, and you will be fine for the rest of your life. Haizi is here for my sister to make the decision, Sanxue is also very suitable to go there, and Haizi and Haizi have a look after each other, let's hide for a while. Uncle expressed his attitude.

"We ran away, what's wrong with the beard? Dulong Mountain is not easy to mess with, promise people not to go, our family and our tunzi will suffer, I can't cause trouble to the family. The third aunt insisted on not agreeing to go into the mountains and hide.

"What are you afraid of. I've thought about it, what the beard is looking for is you, and it has nothing to do with the people of Quantunzi, they are just scaring and scaring and forcing our family to agree. I don't agree to see that we are dead, at most we will tie up our family, and it will not drag everyone down. Now they can't find you, at most they will tie me up and your mother. When the time comes, I'll let your eldest brother-in-law out and hide. Your mother and I are both so old, and sooner or later we will die, and we are not afraid of them. As long as we can keep our family and you safe, death is worth it. Besides, they really can't find you, what's the use of leaving us two old men and old ladies, sooner or later we have to release people, it's just a temporary offense, what are you afraid of. What's more, Wang Zhankui is not completely inhumane, our small family has no money and no things, so we can't do anything to us. At most, give him all the family property, the money is earned by people, as long as we save our lives, we are not afraid that we will not be able to live. It's really not good, our whole family has moved to live in the mountains, far away from here, we can't afford to hide if we can't afford to provoke us. Grandpa Xiao explained to the third aunt, hoping that the third aunt would change her mind.

"This won't work! What I caused can't affect my family. The third aunt still insisted.

"Just listen to your father. If everything is provoked, it can be reversed if you don't suffer a little crime. For this life, this sin should be suffered in this life. Otherwise, our family will move out together now, hide for a few years, and come back when it stops. Grandma Xiao said and shed tears.

Seeing that everyone was very sad, Grandpa Xiao felt very sad in his heart, and sighed and said: "Hey, people, it's all fate, when will you say something, just get through this hurdle." Since the whole family agreed, it was decided. After a few days of preparation, after the fifteenth day of the first month, the third girl and Haizi will be sent to her second sister's house, and from there, into the mountain! ”

The third aunt still wanted to argue, but she was really afraid that the whole family would take them into the mountain together, which would really drag the whole family down. Besides, the whole family didn't let her argue anymore, and unanimously agreed with Grandpa Xiao's decision, and the third aunt could only endure it, but she still had her little Jiujiu in her heart.

In the past two days, the Xiao family has spent the past two days in depression and apprehension. The family also talked less, and they didn't dare to touch the matter of the third aunt and Haizi entering the mountain. However, Grandpa Xiao also noticed that the third aunt seemed to be reluctant in her heart, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Grandpa Xiao called the third aunt out alone and found a quiet place to persuade and enlighten alone. After coming back, both of them seemed very happy, it seemed that the idea was agreed, and the whole family was happy. This day is another happy day for the farmer's New Year, and after this day, the year will pass. At dinner, the third aunt poured some wine for the adults and said respectfully, "Dad, Mom, sister, brother-in-law, you all drink more." I have thought about my affairs, I listened to my father, and hid in the mountains with Haizi. I think it's me who the beard is looking for, and it has nothing to do with anyone. As long as they have hope of finding me, they won't do anything to the family. Before I left, I asked Haizi to write a letter for me, and asked someone to bring it to him, saying that I had entered the mountains, and I would go to them when I had earned enough money in the autumn, and stabilize them first. When the time comes, if it doesn't work, it will be said that I will die in the mountains, and from then on I will interrupt their thoughts, and our family will be safe. ”

The family felt that what the third aunt said was very reasonable, although the matter was not as simple as she thought, and the beard was not so easy to fool, but after all, the third aunt agreed to Grandpa Xiao's arrangement, and came up with a way. The family was still very happy, the depression of the past few days was broken, and the joyful atmosphere of the festival returned to the Xiao family.

After dinner, Grandpa Xiao and his uncle prepared a few small oil lamps, saying that they were going to the ancestral cemetery to deliver lamps, which is also a necessary etiquette for the New Year in the farmer's family, and every family is like this. Fortunately, the cemetery of each family is not far from Tunzi, and it is still very convenient to send lights. Grandma Xiao carefully filled each small oil lamp with oil, carefully adjusted the wick and placed it. Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao went before dark, and it is estimated that it will not take long to return.

The third aunt led the children to pick up a pot of stove ashes, sprinkle oil, and prepare to sprinkle the lamp. The large pillar also held a few sticks, also dipped in oil, and prepared to hold the lamp in his hand.

As soon as it got dark, the third aunt lit the lanterns in the yard and on the gate, and found three small papier-mâché lanterns, lit them, and distributed them to the three children. Then I found firecrackers and fireworks left over from the Chinese New Year and set them off in the yard. At this time, all households also began to set off firecrackers, fireworks, and sprinkle lamps, once again pushing the New Year's flavor of the farmers to a climax.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky, clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month. The third aunt led the children to sprinkle the oiled stove ashes from the front of the house to a long distance outside the gate, and then lit them one by one, and the children followed behind and stirred the fire with small sticks to make it burn longer. Families also spread such small fires from their yards into the streets, and children ran, frolicking, and shouting loudly, and a joyful and peaceful atmosphere hung over the village.

Da Zhuzi, his sister and brother ran out into the street with lanterns and lit sticks to play, and the adults all returned to the house one after another.

After Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao came back after sending the lamp, they prepared food and use for the third aunt and Haizi to leave tomorrow with Grandma Xiao and Uncle Xiao, wrapped them in a bag, and put them together. Grandpa Xiao saw that the time was not early, so he asked the third aunt to call the children back and go to bed early.

After the big pillar who had not yet finished his fun led his younger brother and sister back, his face was blackened by the lamp. While wiping his face, Tie Dan said ostentatiously: "I also made a face at them, and all the lamps and smoke I took were wiped out." ”

"Don't wipe it, the more you smear, the darker it gets. Let's all wash and wash, wash and sleep. After the third aunt washed the children's faces, the family fell asleep. There is no lantern blowing overnight, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, every family has to light the lights overnight, and the whole village is in the hope of brightening the hall, blessing this year's days are more bright.

Early the next morning, the Xiao family gave thousands of instructions and said goodbye to the third aunt and Haizi together with tears.

"Be obedient when you get there, something will happen, don't let your temperament come. You have to change your temperament, it's good for your Uncle Chen, ask him for help, and find a mother-in-law if you see a suitable one. Grandma Xiao fumbled with the third girl's clothes and said in a trembling voice.

"Sanxue, and Haizi, if there is nothing to do in winter, you can come back, it is too cold in the mountains in winter, and when we come back, we will reunite with our family for the New Year." My aunt put the baggage in the car.

Da Zhuzi, Yingzi, and Tie Dan all ran forward: "Third aunt, when will you be able to come back?" We miss you, we miss Brother Haizi, and we want to hear him tell us. Tie Dan had to let the third aunt hold it, sobbing and helping the third aunt wipe her tears.

The third aunt's tears couldn't stop flowing, she told everyone one by one to say something, and after instructing the adults and children, she said everything she could think of.

Grandpa Xiao didn't speak, but tears had already flowed down, and everyone who watched that scene was worried. Haizi sat in the carriage driven by his uncle, staring blankly at Grandpa Xiao's house, where he had lived for two and a half months, thinking about how good Grandpa Xiao's family had been to him, thinking about what had happened in the past few months, he couldn't even reunite with his family during the New Year, and now he didn't know where he was, his mood was very sour, and his eyes couldn't help but blur with tears.

The carriage left slowly, with the concern of the family and the hazy wish to pray for peace, the third aunt and Haizi left the family together.
