Knock on the bowl
Grandpa is gone, and grandma lives at home to see the eldest child, who is one and a half years old.
This year, it rained heavily, and the eldest child's house was a depression, and the crops were flooded. There is no way, let's flee out, and go to the place where the harvest is good to eat. Father, mother, grandmother and eldest child fled to Zhanhua and found a car house to live in.
The car house is outside the landlord's yard, there is no door, and I usually put a car. After the autumn, you don't need a car, whoever wants to live can live, you don't need to ask who's house, you can live by setting up a pot outside the car house. The father and mother went out to ask for food, and the grandmother looked at the child.
After living in Zhanhua for less than a month, the Yellow River opened.
Hearing that the Yellow River had opened, the people of Zhanhua wanted to flee for their lives quickly. Those who could not escape climbed into tiled houses, and some climbed into trees.
The father and mother put the grandmother and the eldest child on the haystack of the landlord's house, and the two of them went to the roof.
The mother cried on the roof: "If the haystack is washed away, the mother and son will both be drowned." ”
Dad persuaded his mother: "His grandmother is in her fifties, which is enough." The child drowned, and we can still give birth. ”
The water came fast and fiercely, the roof of the house where my father and my mother were staying was an earthen house, the house was soaked down, my mother held a house and didn't let go, and my father didn't know where to go.
The mother hugged the house wood and let the waves rush to the water's edge. Walking up to the high post, looking back at the water, you can't see the edge at a glance.
At the water's edge, there were houses and rotten grass washed down from above, and there were also people who drowned, and the mother cried loudly: "Mother, where are the bodies of you and your child?" ”
She cried, shouted, and searched.
The haystack didn't let the water run away, and the mother and son sat on the haystack and washed to the water's edge. The grandmother was holding the eldest child, not drowning, and she was worried.
The mother found this mother and son, and she was overjoyed.
Grandma asked, "What about his father?" ”
The mother said, "I don't know where I rushed to." His father would pick up water and tread water, and he couldn't drown him. ”
There was nothing left, the mother held the eldest child, led the grandmother, and asked for food to go home.
When she got home, her mother asked her mother-in-law, "Has your son come back?" ”
The mother-in-law said, "I didn't come back." ”
The mother remembered that the Yellow River opened and the water was urgent, and she couldn't use the water, and she knew that her husband was drowning, so she cried first, and the family cried together.
The mother stayed in the Li family to be widowed, and watched over the eldest child to grow up. Other boys were seven or eight years old, and they went to the fields to help with the work. The eldest child was seven or eight years old, and his mother told him to go to school.
When I was twelve, my classmates climbed trees and jumped down from them. It's okay for people to jump down, but the eldest child broke his bones and looked for his husband to pick up the bones, but he didn't catch them well, and he was lame.
When I was in my twenties, I hadn't talked about my daughter-in-law.
In 1959, Li Dazi was 26 years old.
There is a big pot of rice in the tunzi, and the canteen lacks a secretary to keep accounts and settle accounts. The eldest child studied and became the secretary general.
The eldest child became the secretary general, and the matchmaker came.
The little girl he told him was fourteen years old, one meter three, and was about to starve to death.
The marriage was said to be done, and the marriage was made. When I got married that year, I didn't have anything to say, the cattle starved to death, no one had any money, and I didn't have to buy clothes.
The eldest child gets married late, and there are many people who call the new daughter-in-law sister-in-law, and whoever goes to see the new daughter-in-law is afraid of the new daughter-in-law. A neighbor's daughter-in-law was tall, 1.72 meters, more than 160 pounds, and shouted when she entered the door: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'll come and see you." ”
The new daughter-in-law looked up at her, said nothing, and twisted away in fright, putting her hands on her chest.
The eldest mother pulled the neighbor aside and whispered, "Don't call my daughter-in-law and sister-in-law in the future, she is afraid." Talk to her again, quietly. ”
In 1962, when I was no longer hungry, my eldest daughter-in-law grew taller and gained weight. As long as she can do the work, she doesn't ask a man to do it, saying that he has bad legs and feet. She also cooks every day, waits for the man to come back, and brings the bowl to the man one by one.
The neighbor's daughter-in-law came to borrow something, and when she saw the eldest child knocking on the bowl twice, the eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
The neighbor's daughter-in-law asked the eldest child, "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The eldest child said, "I knocked on the bowl to ask your sister-in-law to scoop the bowl; Knock on the bowl twice, that is, I am full, and tell her to take the bowl away. ”
The neighbor's daughter-in-law said, "Are you looking for Nier, the little finger, or your daughter-in-law?" Why are you so good? ”
The eldest child didn't answer, just laughing.
The eldest daughter-in-law is not tall, has good milk, and has a bunch of children for the eldest child.
This neighbor's daughter-in-law is my relative, and she and Li Dazi are both in the countryside of Juye.
