Chapter 63: Gluttony does not bloom
Mei Renhou's eyes are smiling, and his smile often smiles like a child.
Mei Renhou has become what people call Mei Dashan. Since the bloody massacre and suppression of that year, there have been no bandits in the Qinglong Mountain area.
He has become the most beloved grandfather and uncle of the children in this area.
Mei Renhou is very healthy and likes to hold a hand-to-hand fight in his hands. He kept smoking a dry tobacco pipe, and when he met a child, he liked to make a joke and say, "Look at a sparrow flying in the sky." ”
When the boy looked up to the sky, he reached out and took off the boy's hat, sometimes under his robe, sometimes in the cuffs. He said, "The sparrow has taken your hat away." ”
The children were not surprised when they knew of his hand, so they took him by the thigh, asked him for a hat, touched his sleeve, and tore at the placket of his shirt until they found it.
Mei Renhou often did this, and always put the hat in the same place, always under the cuffs and placket.
Not once did the children who searched for him not take their hats out from under his shirt, as if he had made an agreement with them: "I'll put it here, you can find it!" ”
I don't know how many times I've done this, just like the old lady who always told the story of "Fighting Tigers on the Mountain" to the children, even if they have heard it 500 times, they still clap their hands and applaud back there.
Every time Mei Renhou did this, he and the children laughed together. It's as if this play is still being performed for the first time.
When others saw Mei Renhou do this, some laughed, not because of his good technique, but because he used a method to grab the child's hat every day, which is ridiculous.
Mei Renhou is not in charge of things much, and all housework is managed by Mrs. Mei. He was just free to spend the day idle; Fortunately, Mei Yuzhang has grown up, otherwise he would have been lonely.
He'll go, he'll run. When he couldn't walk, Mei Renhou hugged him; When he moved, he pulled him. All day long, inside and outside the door, not leaving an inch, and Mei Renhou is mostly in the garden, so the children are also in the back garden.
Man and heaven and earth are together, how big and far the heaven and earth are, they can't touch the sky with their hands. And what grows on the land is so prosperous, at a glance, it is impossible to see, only feel that there is a piece of bright green in front of you.
As soon as Mei Yuzhang and Wu Yongchang arrived in the garden, they ran out without a target, as if they had seen something and ran away, as if there was something waiting there.
In fact, they have no purpose, they just feel that everything in this garden is alive, as if their legs have to jump.
If it weren't for the strength of the whole body, Mei Renhou was afraid that they would be tired and wanted to greet them, which would be impossible, but the more they greeted, the more they didn't listen.
When they couldn't run anymore, they sat down to rest, and the rest was very fast, and they just picked a cucumber on the seedlings and ate it.
After resting, it is running again.
The cherry tree, knowing that it had not produced cherries, ran to the tree to find cherries. The plum tree is half-dead, and if it doesn't bear plums, it goes to find plums. While looking for it, he shouted loudly and asked, "Why doesn't the cherry tree bear cherries?" ”
Mei Renhou replied from afar: "Because there is no flowering, it will not bear cherries." ”
Again: "Why don't cherry trees bloom?" ”
Mei Renhou said: "Because you are greedy, it will not bloom." ”
Everyone immediately laughed. And it took a long day of laughter to stop, and I don't know where so much joy came. The garden was disturbed for a while, and they laughed loudly, and they felt deafened.
There is a rose in the back garden. It blooms in May. It was open until June. Flowers are the size of a soy sauce dish. It bloomed luxuriantly, and the trees were full of flowers, and because of the fragrance of flowers, many bees were buzzing around the rose trees.
When he was tired of everything else, Wu Yongchang remembered to pick roses, picked a lot of straw hats, and put them in the hood. When picking the flower, there are two kinds of fear, one is the stinger who is afraid of the bees, and the other is the stinger who is afraid of the rose. I finally picked a lot of them, but I didn't know what to do when I finished picking them.
Mei Renhou squatted on the ground and pulled weeds, and the children put flowers on him. Mei Renhou only knew that he was playing tricks on his hat, but he didn't know what he was doing.
Wu Yongchang gave him a circle of flowers in his straw hat, twenty or thirty red flowers. Laughing while interjecting, when he heard Mei Renhou say: "It rained a lot this spring, and our rose bloomed so fragrantly." Erli Road is also afraid of smelling. ”
Everyone shuddered, barely able to support it and plug it in again.
After inserting, Mei Renhou still didn't know. In the same way, he plucked the grass from the wall. The children ran far away and stood, not daring to look that way, and wanted to laugh when they saw it. So I took the opportunity to go into the house to find something to eat, and before everyone returned to the garden, Mei Renhou also came into the house.
The red flowers were seen by Mrs. May as soon as she entered. When she saw that she didn't say anything, she burst out laughing. The children laughed the hardest, rolling on the ground and laughing.
Mei Renhou took off his hat and saw that the fragrance of the rose was not because of the heavy rain this spring, but because the flower was on his head.
He put down his hat and couldn't stop laughing for more than ten minutes, and after a while, when he thought about it, he laughed again.
Mei Renhou just forgot a little, and Mei Yuzhang was next to him and said, "Dad...... It rained a lot this spring......"
As soon as he mentioned it, Mei Renhou's smile came. So the children rolled on the ground again.
In this way, day by day, Mei Renhou, Mei Yuzhang, and Wu Yongchang are mixed in the garden, which is also indispensable.
Unless it was windy and rainy, Mei Renhou would write in the study. He didn't write much, but he enjoyed it.
It's very lonely in the kids. There is nowhere to go, there is no place to play, and I feel that this day is so long.
