Chapter 3 Adaptation

Rural people go to bed early and wake up early, and most of them get up at dawn. Except, of course, children, young people, lazy people, and lazy women.

The countryside is full of work, sweeping the yard, feeding the pigs and chickens, tending to the vegetable garden, cooking, and the day is bright as soon as it is busy.

Han's mother got up early, and the first thing she did after she got up was to go to the Westinghouse to see her son. But when I got out of the east room, I entered the hall and saw that the door was wide open.

After walking two steps quickly, I reached the Westinghouse door and stretched out my head to see that my son was not there. Han's mother turned around, walked out of the house quickly, and went to the yard.

The son is sweeping the floor.

snatched the broom, Han's mother complained, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”

Han Lihong smiled: "Mother, I can't sleep." ”

Suddenly, Han's mother was stunned, she found that her son had changed, it was different from before, but she couldn't think of what had changed.

Knowing why his mother was stunned, Han Lihong smiled and said, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Suddenly, Han's mother knew that something was wrong, and her son became calm.

After this incident, her son grew up, and Han's mother stretched out her hand and stroked her son's cheek, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Han Lihong was silent, looking at his mother's face, his heart was very sour. In the world, how many such mothers have worked silently all their lives and endured everything silently.

Grabbing his mother's hand touching his cheek, Han Lihong said apologetically, "Mother, it's a shame for you." ”

Han's mother smiled: "Silly child, if my mother doesn't worry about you, who else can she worry about?" ”

Han Lihong said: "Mother, I can't do other work, but I can sweep the yard." ”

Han's mother smiled and handed the broom to her son again.

Taking the broom, Han Lihong continued to sweep the yard.

With one stroke, the broom is steady and light every time it falls, and will not let the dust splash.

On the left side of the yard is a wing chicken coop and pigsty, and on the right is a small vegetable patch. It's autumn, and there are only some old cucumbers, old beans and old eggplants in the vegetable field.

As the morning dawned, the smoke wafted and filled the village.

These scenes are familiar and indifferent in the eyes of the villagers; In the eyes of the people in the city, it is poverty and ruin; But in Han Lihong's eyes, this is the most beautiful idyll.

Looking at her son, Han's mother showed a comfortable smile on her face.

After standing quietly for a while, Han's mother turned around and entered the hall, lit a fire, and began to boil pig food.

It's dawn.

Han Lihong stood in the courtyard, looking out to the north.

To the northeast, sixty miles, is Baoding, his hometown in his last life.

"Second brother, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind him.

Han Lihong turned around and took his younger sister into his arms.

Although the relationship between brother and sister has always been very good, there are very few such intimacy. The younger sister blushed and leaned obediently on her brother's arms.

Gently stroking his sister's head, Han Lihong asked, "Sister, are you afraid?" ”

My sister shuddered for a moment and said softly, "I'm afraid." ”

Han Lihong said: "There is a second brother, no one should be afraid in the future." ”

There seemed to be an indescribable magic in Han Lihong's voice, and the younger sister really felt that she was not afraid.

The brother and sister stood quietly, quietly watching the rising sun.

During breakfast, Han Lihong encountered the first thing he was not comfortable with after being reborn, that is, the meal, but this was specially prepared by Han's mother for her son.

Han Lihong didn't show the slightest hint of it, he ate with relish. After eating, putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Han Lihong said to his mother, "Mother, I want to go out for a walk." ”

Han's mother was taken aback and said, "You have injuries on your body, don't go out." ”

"Mother, it's okay, look!" As he spoke, Han Lihong stretched out his arms and lifted his legs, very neatly, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, there are still some places on his body that still hurt a lot, but this pain is nothing to Han Lihong at all, and he can completely ignore it.

Han's mother was still a little hesitant, and at this time, the younger sister jumped off the kang and said, "Mother, I'll accompany the second brother." ”

Han's mother advised: "Don't make trouble when you go out." ”

In his eyes, the cold light flashed away, and Han Lihong said, "Mother, don't worry, it's okay." ”

The brother and sister got out of the house, and as soon as they walked into the yard, they saw Li Qingjiang walking into the yard with a large strip of meat in his hand.

Li Qingjiang was very shy, just nodded at Han Lihong, and said to Han's mother: "Auntie, my father asked me to send a piece of meat." ”

This meat is more than five catties, but it takes a big silver to buy it, how can this be collected? Mother Han waved her hand tightly and said, "Qingjiang, this aunt can't accept it." Go back and tell your father, and say that your aunt thanked him. ”

"Auntie, my father said, you have to take it."

"No, my aunt can't accept it, and your family is not rich."

"Auntie, our brothers met yesterday, but they hid, we can't stop you!" As he spoke, Li Qingjiang bowed to Han's mother, then put the meat on the clothesline, turned around and ran away.

Han's mother was anxious to chase her out, but Han Lihong stopped her mother and said, "Mother, take it." ”

Han Mu said: "How can this be? ”

Han Lihong said: "Mother, this is a favor, not money, we must accept it." ”

Han Mu said: "It's ......"

Han Lihong said: "Mother, don't worry, we can pay it back." ”

Her son's speech and behavior have changed too much, and Han's mother looked at her son in surprise.

This kind of thing is good to get used to, Han Lihong didn't explain much, and said, "Mother, my sister and I will go out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Looking at her son's back like a mountain, Han's mother had tears in her eyes, and her heart was very steady, and her youngest son could set up a household.

Coming out of the house, Han Lihong walked slowly.

He has been to Ranzhuang, when he was in middle school, the school carried out patriotic education, and he and his classmates came to Ranzhuang to visit the tunnel war site.

When he grew up, he came twice more himself.

The change between Ranzhuang at that time and Ranzhuang in front of him is that the world has changed.

The younger sister was beside her brother, and from time to time she opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at her brother curiously, and she also noticed the changes in her second brother.

The second brother is gentle, very sensible, and a good brother, but now, the second brother is an adult, even more like an adult than his mother.

My sister felt very stable, and her heart was full of pride.

Han Lihong went to the village office, went to the Guandi Temple, and finally arrived at the head of the village and stood under the ancient locust tree.

Now, the big bell hanging on the ancient locust tree in the movie "Tunnel War" is still hanging quietly in the temple in the north of the village, and it has not yet been hung up.

In the future, the bell will not be hung up. Because of him, history will change somewhat.
