Bai Chun and Bai Lan's father, named Bai Hongchun, was thirty or eight years old at the time of Chinese New Year's Eve; Their mother, named Ma Qinlan, was Chinese New Year's Eve at the age of thirty or nine.

On this day on the second day of the first lunar month.

The hall on the second floor.

Bai Hongchun asked Bai Chun: "Xiaochun, the day after tomorrow, your mother and I are going to your grandmother's house, do you want to go together?" ”

Bai Chun, who was sitting on the chair, replied: "No, I don't want to go this year." ”

Bai Hongchun: "Didn't you go last year?" ”

Bai Chun replied: "In short, if you don't want to go, you just don't want to go, there is no other reason." ”

Bai Hongchun sighed helplessly and said, "Okay." Then he turned and went to Bai Lan's room.

He opened the door.

After entering Bai Lan's room, Bai Hongchun asked Bai Lan, who was sitting next to the desk: "Xiaolan, the day after tomorrow, your mother and I are going to your grandmother's house, do you want to go together?" ”

Bai Lan is working very hard, pretending to be very serious about her homework. After hearing the news, she turned her head to look at Bai Hongchun excitedly, showed a happy smile, and said, "Okay! I'll go. ”

Bai Hongchun said: "You have to wear more clothes then." I'll take you and your mom on a motorcycle. ”

Bai Lan: "Got it. ”

So, the matter was settled.

Bai Hongchun left the second floor.

Bai Chun, who was sitting in the hall on the second floor, saw that his father Bai Hongchun had already gone out. Quickly stood up, walked over, and closed the door.

Bai Chun seems to have forgotten that not long ago, he promised Bai Hongchun, saying that "he will keep the hall ventilated and will not close the door again." However, judging by the current results, he has broken his promise.

However, none of this matters, and Mom and Dad don't go up to the second floor very often anyway. Bai Chun thought to himself.

Indeed, during the day, Bai Hongchun and Ma Qinlan were basically active on the first floor, and even their bedrooms were on the first floor.

However, there are a few exceptions: when he or she has something to look for Bai Lan or Bai Chun; When they're looking for items on the second floor, or when they're drying clothes in the hallway on the second floor. In these cases, Bai Hongchun and Ma Qinlan will go up to the second floor.

With complicated thoughts, Bai Chun returned to his room on the second floor. He closed the door casually.

Then he sat down on the edge of his bed, quietly reminiscing about the past, especially when he was a child.

The past is unbearable. Now that he thinks about it, he actually has a feeling of wanting to smile. However, Bai Chun didn't laugh, and he couldn't laugh now. Because, the past is not always ridiculous, and there are many bad things that make people sad.

There are some things that may have felt like nothing as a child. But in retrospect, looking at it with the mind of a teenager, I will find it particularly interesting, and even faint...... Shame?

Thinking of his childhood, Bai Chun seems to have returned to the period at his grandmother's house.

Bai Chun recalled. When I was very young, before I started elementary school, I seemed to have been fostered at my grandmother's house. Later, when he was about the age of elementary school, about six years old, he was sent back to his home. Since then, he has been raised by his grandmother.

Bai Chun's parents have been working in other places for a long time. Bai Chun thought: When they were very young, they probably worked at their grandmother's house, where they worked in the sand and gravel factory and coal factory. Later, when they were a little older, they went to work in coastal Guangdong, probably in the late nineties of the last century.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure seemed to appear in front of Bai Chun's eyes. He thought of the girl from his grandmother's house, his cousin. In fact, his cousin is only one year older than him, and there is not much difference in age between them.

Ma Chenji, Bai Chun's cousin. One summer vacation, when Bai Chun was seven or eight years old, he did something that was not stupid. Inadvertently, he saw Ma Chenjiao taking a bath. Bai Chun was stopped by his grandmother's timely shouting, and soon he was pulled back to the room by his grandmother.

Actually, this is not a peek, Bai Chun didn't mean it. At that time, the living conditions of rural families were generally relatively poor, and there was a lack of formal bathing places in every household, and Bai Chun's grandmother's house was no exception.

In the summer, when it is particularly hot, the bathing time for adults and children is generally concentrated near the night, when the sun has set and the ambient temperature is starting to really cool. At this time, there are very few bathing rooms, and the use is relatively tight.

When it's time to take a bath, adults generally take a bath for younger children by letting them go to a remote place near the yard with a relatively small flow of people. In the hot summer months, it is generally a cold shower.

Sometimes adults even let an older child lead all the children in the family to find a more remote place outdoors and solve the problem of bathing together. And this place is generally a corner of the yard of the house, which can be the backyard, the front yard, or even near a ditch at the foot of the courtyard wall.

In short, Bai Chun accidentally peeped at a very young age...... No, it should have been accidentally aimed at it openly, and the basic situation of cousin Ma Chenjiao taking a bath is like this.

Every time he thought of this, Bai Chun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Ma yes, why do you have to think of this every time...... Inconspicuous little things?

Bai Chun, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, thought that human life is actually very short, and the past was like smoke and dust, which quickly dissipated in the sky of history. He couldn't help sighing: "There is always a last resort, some scum things always appear repeatedly in my mind, messing with my pure heart...... If only there was a designated amnestic. ”

After sighing, Bai Chun opened his hands and fell on the bed. Lying on his back on the bed, he said comfortably and complacently: "No matter, let's sleep first." There is no worry that cannot be solved by a night's sleep, and if there is, then sleep twice or sleep until death......"

The winter break really flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February in the Gregorian calendar. The date for the start of spring school is just around the corner.

At this time, Bai Chun's parents had already returned to a certain place in Nanyue to work in a factory a week ago. Moreover, Bai Chun's uncle Bai Hongxing had also returned to the county seat early and started working.

On the evening of the day before the Spring Festival, Bai Hongyun, who had just hurried home, had already returned to a certain place and continued to work as an apprentice. According to the content of the quarrel at his uncle's house that Bai Chun heard by chance, Bai Hongyun was not going to go home during the Chinese New Year, but later he was forced to come back reluctantly due to the pressure of his parents.

Right now. The adults in Bai Chun's family are currently only Bai Chun's aunt Xin Yunxi, and grandmother Huang Heqing, who has been staying at home to take care of the children.

It's already this time, why does Xin Yunxi choose to stay at home?
