Lu Xiuzhi put the family's important documents, such as household registration books, grain books, passbooks, etc., into a leather bag and handed them to his younger brother.

Lu Xiufeng frowned, "Second sister, you and Baoping will go together!" ”

"I'll wait for your brother-in-law! Baoping is also a bit of a backbone at home! Lu Xiuzhi patted his third son on the shoulder, Qi Baoping looked at his mother with a complicated expression, smiled, and said to Lu Xiufeng: "I can protect my mother." ”

"Okay! The lad has grown up! Responsible! It's like the old Qi family! When he said this, he also looked at Qi Youde, Qi Youde was very useful when he heard it, but he nodded reservedly.

In Qi Bao's schoolbag, Lu Xiuzhi also put a small paper bag, which was Analgin to prevent her daughter from getting sick. also gave Qi security guard twenty yuan and told him not to spend it indiscriminately. brought two beds of luggage and a bag of change of clothes, and asked Zhang Luo to bring some flour and rice, but was stopped by Lu Xiufeng, "Okay, second sister, my family has more food than yours!" ”

Lu Xiuzhi sneered, since the year before last, the eldest brother and younger brother have each contracted dozens of acres of land in the Corps, and also bought tractors and Combein.

But she still let the child bring dried salted fish, salted eggs, canned fruit and two bags of milk powder.

- The younger brother is definitely not picky, but the younger brother and sister are not necessarily.

Shen Mengxi and Qi security guards sat in the tractor bucket, Lu Xiuzhi tied a red scarf around her daughter's neck, put a rag doll that could blink into her daughter's arms, and said repeatedly uneasily: "Take it at night, don't let the mosquitoes bite, follow your fourth brother, don't run around anywhere, as soon as the water recedes in a few days, Mom will pick you up, listen?" Don't cry when you go to your second uncle's house, sleep honestly at night, and remember to pee before going to bed, remember? ”

Shen Mengxi nodded awkwardly, it was Qi Baozhu who wetted the bed, but it wasn't her.

Qi Youde looked around the tractor enviously, praised a few words from the bottom of his heart, and politely said to Lu Xiufeng that his nephew and niece had caused him trouble, and finally said that when the water receded, he would go to Taiping Village to drink, and Lu Xiufeng smiled heartily. In terms of age, my brother-in-law's eldest brother is not a few years younger than his father, but in the past two years, his pockets have swelled up, and his confidence is enough.

The tractor abruptly headed west, and Lu Xiuzhi stood at the door of the house until she couldn't see the car and returned home.

Qi Baoping put the military kettle on his back and brought labor protection gloves, "Mom, I'll go for my dad." ”

After finishing speaking, he went out, Lu Xiuzhi opened his mouth to call him, but he didn't make any sound, and saw his son's tall and thin figure heading towards the dam.

"Be careful! Third! When Qi Baoping was about to turn a corner, he heard his mother shouting hoarsely, he didn't look back, just nodded lightly, and turned to the intersection leading to the dam.

******

Out of the county seat, the further west you go, the more familiar the scenery becomes.

How could Shen Mengxi forget that on this road, she once carried a medical kit on her back and galloped on horseback.

Looking at the large black fields and green soybeans, my heart beat faster, and I felt an inexplicable feeling of homesickness. The familiar stone monument on the side of the road that recorded kilometers, and even a certain tree, put a smile on her face.

There are low-lying fields that glow white, which is the reflection of water, and whether the dam is held or not, this year's harvest will inevitably be affected.

The tractor was bumpy and the dirt road was the same as it was back then, so if two cars met, one needed to stop and pull over. Even if there is a road class maintenance, the road surface is still potholes, and when the car passes, it is a piece of dust raised, Shen Mengxi's face is covered with a red scarf, and he still can't avoid being disgraced, and Qi Security is even more discouraged.

Fortunately, it took less than an hour to reach the Corps. The Corps has not changed much from when she lived, it is still two main streets, with the regimental headquarters and various units on both sides of the streets, and she even saw that the Red Cross on the roof of the clinic was still the same.

The uncle's family lived in some remote areas, on the side of the road to the south to Qingfeng Forest Farm, while the uncle's house was on the side of the road to the west to Xiangyang Township. Lu Xiufeng took them to see their grandfather first, and when they arrived at their uncle's house, as soon as they got out of the car, their grandfather greeted them, and grandma hugged them for a kiss, and heard that Lu Xiuzhi and Qi Baoping refused to come back, so they scolded for ten minutes before stopping.

The third aunt and her four children have been back for three days, and the third aunt is still staying in the county to fight the flood.

The third aunt is six years younger than Lu Xiuzhi, and the four children are thirteen, eleven, nine and seven years old, the eldest and the youngest are boys, and the middle two are girls.

The youngest boy's name is Zhao Haitao, wearing a hurdle vest and small pants, and he climbed onto the tractor in twos and threes, "I'm going to my uncle's house too!" ”

"You come down for me! Your uncle's house is not enough for you to live in? Do you have to go to my uncle's house? The third aunt, Lu Xiuping, pulled Zhao Haitao off the drag, "It's time to eat!" Wash your hands and go! I was noisy and hungry just now, but now that the master is here, I can eat, and I don't have a lot of money! ”

Grandma has already brought out the meal, "Security Zhuzhu, the stewed oil beans that my grandmother gave you, put the meat skin on the shelf, taste the jewels, do you like to eat them?" I don't like to eat it, and there are eggs in this stall, shoot cucumbers. ”

Lu Xiufeng turned off the car, put his luggage in the car and didn't move, and said: "Eat, eat, I'm hungry too!" ”

Qi Bao's side had already unceremoniously opened the stance, and Shen Mengxi had no choice but to wash his face and sit down to eat.

My uncle is forty-nine years old and has four children, and my eldest cousin and eldest cousin are married.

The eldest cousin Lu Wei is twenty-nine years old, works as a driver in the Corps, and has a three-year-old son who has not separated after marriage.

A large family was full, several small members of the third aunt's family stood on the ground and ate with rice bowls, Shen Mengxi was special, sitting on his grandfather's lap, there was no need to pick up vegetables at all, and the old man gave her a bowl of vegetables from the tip of the gang.

In the end, I ate a small bowl of rice, two pieces of meat skin, a few beans, and a large piece of eggs, and then let go of the table.

"Your brother-in-law's house is not far away, only three or four miles away, and the security guard will take your sister to your grandmother's house during the day, and go back to sleep next night! Listen to it! Grandma watched her two grandsons get on the tractor and instructed again.

Grandpa also echoed behind him.

"Mom! Can I still give my nephew food? Lu Xiufeng said angrily.

"Humph! Then who knows, your food may have the smell of pancreas, and I can't spit bubbles after eating my treasure beads! ”

Qi Baoan laughed when he heard this, and his grandmother seemed to have pulled into an alliance, pulling her grandson, "Come early in the morning, grandma will cook you a big porridge with salted goose eggs!" ”

"Okay!" Qi security guard agreed.

Lu Xiuping muttered, "Alas, it's far fragrant and smelly, it's really incomparable!" ”
