"The old tree in front of the door grows new shoots

The dead trees in the courtyard bloomed again

Half survived a lot of words

Hidden in a head full of gray hair! ”

In the early morning, the morning sun on the horizon had just been revealed, and before everything woke up, the girl with a strange tune in her mouth got up.

First, I washed my face by the well, took out a toothbrush that looked very delicate, sprinkled some fine salt on it, rinsed my mouth, and began to brush my teeth.

The girl's teeth are very white, and her delicate little face has not been stained with wind and frost, and she looks like a little girl who has not experienced any wind and waves.

After washing, I took the vegetables I picked from the field yesterday to the well and cleaned them, and then went to the kitchen with the vegetables.

"Where has the time gone?

I get old before I feel young

Giving birth to children and raising daughters for a lifetime

My mind was full of children crying and laughing

Where has the time gone

……”

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, when their voices are crisp and tactful, a song that should be full of vicissitudes of life and melancholy, sings a little youthful taste in the girl's mouth.

The crisp singing voice floated in the small kitchen, and the diligent girls were making noodles in their hands, and the techniques were very skillful, so the girls and noodles seemed very strong.

Even early in the morning, the weather at the end of June was a little hot, and after a while, a layer of fine sweat was left on the girl's forehead, and the sweat beads fell down her cheeks, and after wiping her cheeks with the towel around her neck, the girl with quick hands and feet quickly reconciled.

Next, it can be handed over to the three sisters-in-law, these jobs were originally for the old lady, and in the past two years, as the old lady gets older and older, the housework that the old lady needs to do in the family has been replaced by girls.

After going out of the kitchen, washing her face with cold well water, and wiping the water off her hands, the girl went back to the house and got a box with wooden sticks made in advance, thin ropes, and neatly tied pig's hair.

Making a toothbrush is a delicate job, in the face of a pig hair, first of all, the heart can not be frizzy, to calm down, the length of each pig hair must be the same, to cut too long short, the shorter one can not be used, the pig hair on the toothbrush is cut into a wavy shape is the most difficult thing, just for this, the girl does not know how many toothbrushes have been cut.

But now, the hands and feet are already familiar with every process, and the girls are not as laborious as before to make it.

In his words, this is a delicate job, and there is no hurry, so girls always maintain this unhurried mentality.

A string of copper coins, such a valuable thing, if it is made up, the girl herself feels sorry for the guest who bought it home.

The old man was the second to get up, and when he moved his body in the yard, although the old man behaved very normally, the girl could still see a little suppressed excitement in the old man's eyes.

I've been out for a few months, and in terms of time, these days are the days to return home.

"Daddy! The doctor said that you had better rest and recuperate, you have a thorn on your waist, it's better not to move if you are fine, you can't sleep at night, you don't know! ”

Seeing that the old man began to stretch his arms and kick his legs in the yard again, the girl couldn't help but comfort.

"What did the doctor say? What my grandson said, moving your legs and feet in the morning, can you live a long life, if you don't listen to my grandson, can you still listen to the doctor's nonsense? ”

Continuing to move there, the old man who kicked his feet ignored it, and then, as if remembering something, the old man pointed to the girl and said:

"Your toothbrush, but you have to do it well, Xiaojie collects a string of money from you, and you take it out to buy it for others, if the quality is not up to par, people won't say anything about you, but Xiaojie's reputation will be ruined, don't dare to let Xiaojie's reputation be stained in the slightest, in the future, Xiaojie will enter the temple, if you let a small toothbrush ruin your future, see if I don't break your legs."

This can't be reasonable, looking at the old man's serious look, you can know that the old man is definitely not so simple as saying these words, he is definitely serious.

"There is no edge to the eccentricity!" muttered a sentence in his mouth, at this time, even Zhang Xia didn't dare to touch the old man's brows, in the eyes of the old man, making toothbrushes to make money or not is secondary, the most important thing is the reputation of his precious grandson, if anyone dares to say in front of the old man that his grandson is not good, the old man can definitely turn his face with you.

"Eleven or twelve-year-old children, what do you want to have a bad reputation!"

Of course, Zhang Xia only dared to say this in her heart, and she definitely didn't dare to say it in front of the old man, otherwise there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

When the sun was rising a little overhead, several of the women's houses also rose.

The little sister-in-law led Zhang Tie, who is two and a half years old this year, to get up and dry the quilt, this child is always dishonest when he sleeps, and if he doesn't wet the bed one day, he won't be able to live a day.

Zhang Tie is the fifth child of the little sister-in-law's family, originally the family thought it was a boy, the old lady asked Aunt Hua to tell fortunes and said that it was a boy, but it was born a girl, and a girl was a girl, anyway, the uncle's family already had three boys, golden eggs, silver eggs, and iron eggs, and he didn't care about one more girl.

As for the name Zhang Tie, this was set by the old man before he was born, and he couldn't change it.

Wang's spiritual head seems to be very good, but he has to look in the direction of the county from time to time, obviously pretending to have something in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it, it's hard for others to say, just with Xiaojie, isn't a little show still caught?"

It was the little aunt who spoke, but as soon as the words fell, I saw the third aunt on the side with a lower face, a little showman? You must know that the third uncle has been taking the exam for decades, and now he is still just a showman, the little aunt said this, it is to offend the third aunt, obviously the little aunt who reacted immediately added: "The third sister-in-law should not be anxious, the third brother will definitely be able to lift people in high school next time, I also saw the magpie come to our yard early last morning to report the good news here, our family will definitely be double happy!" ”

The third aunt, whose face was a little better, went to the kitchen.

When the uncle and uncle with the hoe went to the ground, the butt was followed by the golden egg and the silver egg, Zhang Yan has been an apprentice in the county town for three or four years, I heard that during this time, his master has intentionally or unintentionally begun to train Zhang Yan to be in charge, the old lady in the family has put Zhang Yan's marriage on the agenda, saying that the object of the kiss is the daughter of the Ma family next door, and in March this year, he has already come to the door to propose marriage, and Zhang Yan should be married at the end of the year at the latest.

The family already has two cows, Zhang Hao's task is to raise the family's two cows and a few sheep, the lamb is the year before the big addition, after two years of feeding, the original one ewe has now become four, Zhang Hao fiddling with these livestock is also considered to have some experience.

"It's time for the time, according to the time, it's time to come back!"

Looking at the direction of the county seat, the old man who had quit his old cigarette pouch muttered.
