Chapter 2: First Acquaintance.

The days of kindergarten always fly by.

It was another afternoon after school, and I was walking alone on the street to and from my home with a small umbrella.

Maybe it's because school ends too early on Friday. The streets are still very lively today, and it seems that the hustle and bustle of the morning market is still there.

I indifferently looked at the people walking in the streets, and the occasional adults and children passing by me became the objects of my visit.

I'll admit that I'm a little bit of a taste, and I'm envious of those little kids. Because they have family pick-up! What about my family? I think they forgot I got out of school early today!

Thinking of this, I was a little excited and tightened the handle of the umbrella in my hand, wanting to get home faster. Thinking that they must have been surprised to see me come home so early, I wanted to snicker.

But the weather was not beautiful, and just now it was a sickly drizzle, but in an instant it turned into a pouring rain, which forced my pace to become slower, and of course, not in a good mood.

The sound of rain dripping in my ears made my mood even more irritable, and even my steps were a little impatient and messy.

Suddenly, I stopped, and three meters away, a gray figure came into my eyes. He is an old man who is nearly half a hundred years old, but he can see that his body is very strong and his spirit is strong.

He felt unfamiliar to me, but as if something was involved, I looked at him and had the illusion that I couldn't take my eyes off it! He saw me, too, and likewise, he didn't look away anytime soon! But compared to my bewilderment, it was clear that his eyes were clearer.

I didn't move, but he paced in my direction! I just watched him get closer and closer to me, and suddenly, he said to me: "You are the second Yanwa!" The tone is affirmative, no doubts! I have a single name and a face, and I am the second child in the family! That's right! But I don't have much of an impression of this person in front of me, apparently it's the first time I've seen him. I replied with some confusion: "Yes so what!" Who are you? How will you know me? ”

As soon as he heard my reply, he laughed, and laughed so much... Kind? I'm more and more curious about his identity, and I always feel very... Would love to get close to him! My simple head, the idea that popped up out of nowhere, can't be contained! What happened next seemed to happen naturally......

I followed him to a small noodle shop, the location of which I was very familiar with, and I passed by it almost every day. Because that's the way I go to school! But to my surprise, I never found a noodle shop here! And it looks like it's still a time-honored brand!

There, all my doubts were alleviated! It turned out that he was my grandfather, my grandfather! My Mom's Daddy!

Later, I learned that our meeting this time was not accidental! It is an arrangement, a deliberate arrangement!

When I got home, I never told anyone that I had met my grandfather. It was like the first little secret in my life. And I didn't see my family, because I looked surprised when I came home early.

In fact, they weren't at home at all! To make matters worse, on my way home, I was covered in rain because of the strong wind! I was wet all over, and I waited under the eaves for a long time, but unexpectedly, I had a high fever the next day.

The expected care came as promised, but I lost the mood of enjoyment because of the sudden high fever!

Fortunately, the high fever came and went quickly. After a day of recuperation at home, I was alive and well.

Today is Sunday. The original two-day vacation was also half worn out because of my physical discomfort, but I was unwilling to let the vacation be wasted by me.

So as soon as I woke up in the morning, I planned to go out and play! First, I obediently finished breakfast, and then took out the homework assigned by the teacher and wrote it! Finally, under the leadership of my sister, I went out.

My sister is an elementary school student who has just started the first grade of elementary school. She's smart! It's beautiful too! People who have seen her praise her so much! Everybody loves her! I also like her because she is very nice to me! Although she is only two years older than me, she seems to be much smarter and more sensible than me!

I said I was going out to play, but in fact, it wasn't true, because my role was just a follower! I just want to hang out with my sister. I rely on her a lot!

The weather has been bad for the past two days, and it has been raining for a period of time almost every day, and today is no exception! Fortunately, it was a drizzle in the morning, and it was already clear. But the cement roads in the countryside are still difficult to walk!

My house is located in a ravine, perhaps because of the basin, the location is not remote. Even because of the relationship between the adjacent towns and villages, the location of my home is exceptionally good.

But no matter how good the location is, it can't escape the disadvantages of poor rural infrastructure. The road that is not easy to walk will still not become easy to walk!

At that time, the roads around our homes were not as common as they are now, with concrete roads or asphalt roads paved with water, cobblestones and sand. Most of them are dirt and concrete roads piled out of stones.

But maybe people who are used to walking a good road will not be able to stand this cement road, but for us who were born in this place and this environment, it is a commonplace that we are accustomed to! We didn't care whether this road was easy to walk or not, so we resolutely embarked on the journey!

As usual, we first went to the homes of February and Shuanglan. Oh, I forgot to tell you, February and Shuanglan are a pair of siblings. February is the same age as my sister, and Shuanglan is the same age as me. What's even more coincidental is that Shuanglan is also a fart like me! The difference is that Shuanglan is a brother control, and I am a sister control!

However, I can tell that my sister likes to play with them.

After we met at the house in February, we went to call Big Lily and Little Lily again, and Fang Fang and Mei Mei played together. In fact, Big Lily and Little Lily have nothing to do with each other, but they are both single names with the word "Li", in order to distinguish them, we invariably shouted.

We are people who belong to a big yard. The distribution of several of our homes is very interesting, like a "pyramid". Da Lili's family lives at the top of the tower, and gradually descends to Fangfang's family, my family, Meimei's family, February, Shuanglan's family, and Xiao Lili's family. Maybe it's because of the proximity to home, or maybe it's the nature of children, and because they love to play, we play together as a matter of course.

We're like a team, we're always playing together, but we have a lot of players in the team, most of them have something to do, and they didn't play today. Let's not mention this for now!

Still as usual, we played "playing house". This is a little game of ours.

The rule is for two people to form a family. There were 8 of us, and we were divided into 4 groups. Of course, the more people get the difference. Then learn like adults, cook rice and stir-fry!

Of course, this is not really cooking, stir-frying. We will use dry and scattered fine soil and sand to make rice and spices, and we will knead the thin soil into various shapes of snacks, and we will also pull all kinds of grass to cook! In the end, the one with the best shape and the best performance will be judged as the winner!

That's why we often enjoy it. And the result of this is a late return! Adults often express their displeasure with us!

"Fang Fang'er, go home, eat!!" No, it was the adults of Fangfang's family who were the first to waft in the big courtyard with a voice of dissatisfaction!

Whenever this word comes out, Fang Fang must be the fastest to slip away! And we all scattered!

Because everybody knows it. Next, it's time for each of us to express our dissatisfaction. So before the sound came out, we had to hurry back. Otherwise, if you are an adult, you will be in a bad mood and even beaten up, it is inevitable!

Actually, compared to some people, my sister and I want to be freer! It all stems from the fact that we are left-behind children! The so-called left-behind children are not at home, and the children at home are brought up and raised by grandparents, grandparents and other elderly people.

Don't they all say that one generation apart, two generations of relatives? It means that our mother's generation was strictly disciplined, and our generation was spoiled by the older generation. The so-called can't be scolded and beaten, aren't they all crooked reasoning from grandparents and grandparents?

Even such a morning quickly ran out.

When my sister and I returned home, my mother-in-law was in front of the stove, busy cooking, and when she saw us coming back, she beckoned us to play with us for a while, saying that the meal would be ready soon.

I was happy and went into the back room. My sister ran to the stove and took over the work of adding firewood.

At home, there are usually three people at home: my mother-in-law, my sister and I. Occasionally, my cousin Yuanyuan and cousin Huihui will be active. However, they were brought by their grandparents and would only come over to play when they were on holiday.

As for my grandfather, sadly, he died early! I didn't have the opportunity to know much. But there are vague memories. I have the impression that he is terminally ill.

So I always lie on a bed more than half a meter high, and let my mother-in-law and mother take care of me. At that time, he was no longer able to hold me, so in my impression, he did not hold me. Perhaps, but because I'm too young to remember, I don't know.

In my vague memory, he was very tall, much taller than ordinary people, and later learned from my parents that he was 1.9 meters! You must know that my dad is only 1.65 meters! I'm not surprised, though. Because my eldest duke (my grandfather's own brother) is also more than 1.9 meters!

Dad once said that grandpa was a capable man! He is a well-known stonemason in our village.

In that era when there was not enough food and no warm clothing, my grandfather not only fed and raised his three sons, but also built three houses himself!

Dad said that when he was in school, food stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps, and oil stamps were still popular...... Most families in rural areas don't eat meat more than a few times a month, or even a year. And in his memory, there are times when he eats meat twice a week at home!

It is said that my grandfather's favorite grandchild was my sister.

When my sister was my age, he used to carry her on the street and down the street, and he would buy her a lot of snacks and toys. Although, at that time, grandpa already had more than one granddaughter under his knees!

Before my sister was born, my grandfather already had two grandchildren and a granddaughter. They are my lobby brother Liang, my second cousin Brother Tiger (I like to call him second brother) and lobby sister Yuanyuan.

My mother-in-law (also known as grandma) has five children. Among them, there are four boys and one girl.

It's a pity that two died young! They were my second uncle and third aunt, whom even my father didn't have the chance to meet. There are only my eldest Uncle Yan Baishan and Fourth Uncle Yan Baisi (my name is Fourth Dad), and my father is the youngest, so many people call him "Old Five".

Among them, my two cousins are from my eldest aunt, and my eldest sister and the younger cousin behind me are from my fourth aunt.

Now we don't live in our own home, but in my fourth father's house. Because there were many children in the family and they got married, the grandfather helped the sons divide the family early.

I heard that on the day my grandfather broke up, the family was very lively. From the house, money and food, to the kitchen utensils, all of them were divided one by one.

My family was assigned a house next to my grandparents. In front of my house is the eldest uncle's house, and next to it is the fourth father's house.

Grandpa was very fair, as if he had expected this day for a long time, so he was very well prepared. The house is one for each person, the space is not small, and the orientation and perspective of each house are carefully selected. It can be said that it is unanimously good!

For example, my house, although it is directly behind the two uncles, it does not feel obscured at all, and from my house, you can not only see the only big road leading to the town on the opposite side, but also the surrounding Tiankan paths are also clear at a glance!

It seems to be at the top of Mount Tai, and there is a feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance!

Since my grandfather left, it didn't take long for my mother-in-law to move to my fourth father's house, I think half of them are helping the fourth father who is about to go out to work with his cousin and cousin, and half of them don't want to stay in this sad place all day.

After all, the grandparents and mothers-in-law who grow old together are very affectionate.

Later, my parents were also forced to go out to work under the pressure of life. So the burden of taking care of my sister and me naturally fell on my mother-in-law.

I don't know why, but later my cousin and her grandmother took them away, leaving my sister and I to be taken by my mother-in-law.

Xu is mother-in-law felt that she was used to staying in one place and didn't want to move. So my sister and I also lived in my fourth father's house.

That's right, in the beginning, we were brought by our mother. It was an hour full of my sister's black history! There are also a bunch of things that make people laugh and cry!

Among them, there was an incident that made my young sister and I almost die because we couldn't think about it!
