"Okay, okay, Brother Jianguo, let's eat!" Xingxia stretched out his hand and asked the old horse to lift the chopsticks first.

"You came to my house and let you bring food! Hehe...... "The old horse was embarrassed, and honestly picked up the chopsticks and dumplings to eat first.

"This is the dumplings from a Weinan mom-and-pop shop - our taste over there!"

"Hmmm! Delicious, delicious! My son-in-law cooks...... Sometimes good and sometimes bad, generally southerner, rice, occasionally make a noodle, and not do well! ”

"Your son-in-law doesn't go to work?" Xingxia is curious.

"He doesn't go to work, no one used to serve their second child in confinement, he quit his job!"

"And then?"

"I'm busy at home right now."

"Busy with what?"

"What's busy...... Oops, I didn't ask – I never did! Seeing that he is very busy every day, I don't even know what he is busy with! I watched him type on the computer...... Let's do Taobao! The old horse scratched his head and speculated. It's been almost a month since I came home, and I don't know what my son-in-law is busy with in the house every day.

"Brother, you're almost in trouble, you can't tell what your son-in-law is doing!"

"I don't know what Yingying does, I just know that she is busy commuting to and from work every day!" The old horse shook his head, this is also a thing, and he has to ask carefully.

"How's it going in the village? I haven't been back in years! Xingxia asked as he ate.

"No! You haven't been in the village for ten years! Recently, there was a re-election, and a wave of people tossed around! ”

"You've finally retired, when you're in your seventies, it's time to retreat!"

"Retreat is retreat, now I still have more than a dozen acres of orchards at home, how can I sell it for 108,000 a year! It was sold for 140,000 the year before last! I'll go back to the orchard as soon as my feet are ready! "The old horse always thinks about his orchard.

"Don't! You're finally here, stay for a while, and I'll take you around when your leg is healed! Shenzhen is having fun! Brother Jianguo, you are old, give the orchard to the second child, you are in Shenzhen, and the south is good! ”

"I thought, people have to be happy! Yelled at me early in the morning, and lived here for three days in the future! I'm in my eighties, and I'm sick of this nest? I don't live here if I die, and I leave as soon as my feet are healed - it's not uncommon! The old horse munched on cold vegetables, and his disdain flooded the entire galaxy.

"What are you afraid of! Your father and daughter are not arguing with your son-in-law! It's normal for your family to quarrel, but it's sad to quarrel with outsiders! My daughter-in-law and my wife are about to overturn the house, and what I do with my son is pointed at and scolded! Knowing that you are here during this time, I am so happy that I can't wait to sneak out and mix with you every day, and I can't stay at home! Hey, is your son-in-law good? ”

"Oh, let me tell you, my son-in-law is amazing! People used to be teachers, and their temperament was completely different from our family and our village, polite, diligent, gentle, and easy to speak, and our family burned high incense! Yingying don't mention it, sloppy and vulgar, lazy and big-tempered, and violent, sometimes it's really like a splash, I don't know how this woman became like this outside! He has two temperaments, one in the sky and one on the ground, which is strange! The old horse was happy and worried, and turned his face into a complaint.

"Come, come, drink!" Xingxia raised his glass, and the two old men touched each other.

After eating the dumplings, cold skin, and braised pig's trotters, the two guys were also full, chatting and chatting and gradually putting down the chopsticks.

"How about two punches between us?" The old horse is in full swing.

"Okay, but I have to remember - I haven't punched in more than a decade!" Xingxia smiled and bowed his head in contemplation.

"You can't forget that! What a forgetful person! ”

"You don't understand, the taste of eating and drinking here is not used to the taste of the south, but then I got used to it!"

"Okay, no you?" The old horse asked.

"Let's go!"

"Good!"

"Three-star Gaozhao - Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!" The two blurted out at the same time, fingers stretched out in a mess on their hands.

"Four seasons of fortune - six six great shun!"

"The five leaders - the two brothers are good!"

"Hey, I've won!" The walker opened his mouth and smiled at the old horse.

The old horse didn't say a word, picked up the cup and raised his head to take a big sip, and Xingxia came to add wine.

"Come, come, come! Four seasons fortune - four seasons fortune! ”

"Six or six Shun - Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!"

"Hey...... It's me again! The old horse smiled and drank again.

"Let's go!"

"One hand—tangrams!"

"This time it's me!" Xingxia drank a small half cup heroically.

"Go on!"

"Three-star high-profile - six or six Shun!"

……

More than half an hour passed, a bottle of Xifeng wine bottomed out, and the two old men were full of red light, and they spoke loudly and slowly, as if they were shouting in the front and back alleys of Majiatun.

"No, no, no! Brother, I really can't do it! Xingxia pushed away his chair and waved his hand to refuse the wine poured by the old horse.

"You can't drink too much!" The old horse pointed to the marcher.

"Yes, yes, yes! I can't go back tonight! Xingxia's body swayed as he shook his head.

"If you can't go back, just sleep with me!"

"No, I have to buy groceries at night!"

"In the middle of the middle!"

"Then let's go to the sofa and lie down and sober up!" The old horse staggered to his feet, and the old horse helped the old horse, and the old horse also supported him, like two little brothers in childhood.

The old man pulled his own recliner and placed it parallel to the mat for Xingxia, and he lay directly on the mat, with the two old men facing east and looking out of the balcony.

"Oops, you haven't been back to our village for years!"

"Not really! Originally, it was said that the eldest child came back, but now there is a second child, and the second child is only eight months old, and it is very noisy! Running to the hospital twice in three days, tossing people! This year, my wife is obviously too tired to be in good health! The daughter-in-law's body is not good either! "The drunken walker is still worried about the affairs of the family.

"Is your second child in poor health? Why did you go to the hospital twice in three days? ”

"The second child was born two months prematurely, and he began to get sick as soon as he was born, whooping cough, cold, fever, and died of an adult as soon as he got sick! It cost more than 70,000 to be less than a year old! Hikari went to the hospital eight times in the middle of the night! My son is tired and my daughter-in-law is tired, and my old couple is too tired! Now there is a division of labor in the family, I am in charge of the eldest grandson, responsible for purchasing, washing dishes and so on; My wife and daughter-in-law take care of the second child, and the two of them take turns cooking. Hey, this dick is really grinding! "Xingxia poured bitter water after drinking.

"Why was it born prematurely?"

"Hey, my daughter-in-law is not in good health, and she is giving birth at an advanced age, so the root is in her! The two women quarrel every day for the second child...... No more talking, no more talking! I finally came out, quiet and quiet! Xingxia waved his hand, and when he mentioned family affairs, he felt powerless.

"Hey, aren't you hot? Why have I been so hot these days that my clothes are wet! I'm going to turn on the air conditioner! The old horse swayed uncontrollably to turn on the air conditioner.

"A typhoon is coming – Thursday! The forecast says more than a dozen typhoons! ”

"I haven't seen a typhoon yet!"

"A typhoon is the wind! In the south, there are several times a year, sometimes typhoons pass through Shenzhen, sometimes they make a special trip to Shenzhen - the windy and rainy buses and subways are suspended, students do not attend classes, and adults do not go to work! Good guys, think about how strong that wind is! ”

"Rare, rare! On Thursday, I'll take a look at it specifically! Hey, when you left, there weren't many people in our village who planted fruits! Now there are orchards everywhere, and it's beautiful! It's a pity you didn't catch up. ”

"Thanks to you, the old village chief! Got rich with our village! When I left, everyone planted beans and cotton, and wheat and rape were still the main force! Now I hear from my nephew that they don't grow wheat anymore – it's a nuisance! You say it's not much of a change! At that time, our dream was that our house was full of wheat - wheat that we couldn't eat for a few years, and we longed to grow wheat in the field with big teeth! Well, now people don't plant at all! ”

"When you left, there were still cattle in the village, but now they are basically cars, and there are several kinds of cars in every house!"

"When I was just celebrating the New Year, I heard from Tianmin that Xingqi in our village died? Isn't it? ”

"Hmmm! Walked at the end of last year - car accident! The man drove a motorcycle all the time! ”

"The people of heaven say I don't believe it yet! It had been years that the two of us had been very good - very good! He died, and I wanted to call his son, but my grandson was like that, and he couldn't go back, so it was no fun to call! Ay...... He used to be in very good health! ”

"I went when he passed away, and I knew that you were good two years ago, and I thought of you at that time!" The old horse tilted his head and spoke in a low voice.

He licked his lips and continued: "You have been away from the village for all these years, many people are gone!" Min Min's mother-in-law, who is diagonally across the door from your house, fell and lost her body, and she was paralyzed for five months and left! Uncle Jianjun - almost eighty people, when driving a tricycle, he overturned and was crushed to death, he didn't suffer or drag his children, and he walked happily! Hongying's grandmother had bad lungs, coughed and coughed for more than ten years, maintained by medicine, and finally had lung cancer! Yaohui in your alley, the cerebral hemorrhage attack is gone all of a sudden, and the old woman is about the same age as you! ”

"Hey, it's better not to be in the village, I can't hear these things!" Xingxia is infinitely sentimental and sighs incessantly.

"Having said that, there is nothing to be afraid of dying in the countryside, dozens of generations of ancestors and grandchildren are buried there - steadfast! Besides, people are not allowed to hold funerals when they die, invite relatives, burn paper for the first seven days, and commemorate the anniversary - this is also a commemoration and ceremony! People in our village died in the city, and I have never heard of anyone who held a funeral in the city! It's also not interesting, don't you say? The old horse's index finger shook in the air.

"Hmmm! In the past few years, I have been revolving around my children, leaving the village, and there are very few friends of my age around the city, to be honest, I haven't thought about these things! ”

"I don't want to think about it, I can't help but don't want to! I used to be a small member of a big family when I was a child, and then I slowly got married, middle-aged, fifty-year-old, and became a grandfather. I'm almost the oldest generation in my village! Not many older than me now! Junjun is more than ninety, that's my cousin-in-law; Buddha Buddha and his father are almost ninety; Nantou Jinshan eighty-six...... These are eighty upwards. Twenty of us up to seventy! Ay...... Our village is also small! The old horse's face flowed with sorrow.

"I've been in a lot of health for the past few years! You're older than me, and I think you're tough! It's too tiring to take care of a child, and it's hard to worry about labor! The year before last, my son did a big physical examination for our old couple, and they were all sick! "The chivalrous years are sad and mourn themselves.

"What a physical examination! If you don't check that you are alive and well, you will be scared half to death when you check it! People who are 60 years old don't have a few serious diseases! "The old horse is as stubborn and confident as ever.

"My wife has a bad stomach and doesn't dare to eat anything, and she has been admitted to a big hospital several times this year, which is quite serious! I sometimes dream that she's gone...... Tut! Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Be relieved! Yingying's mother didn't leave early? Individuals have their own lives. Do you remember when we used to catch sparrows? The old horse changed the subject, and Zhixingxia was sad and anxious.

"Hehehe...... Remember, the two of us are the most caught in the village! I've always wondered if you got married so early, aren't you? Xingxia asked.

"Hey, that's a long story! Yingying's grandmother used to have a good family, but later she fell into decline to be a child daughter-in-law for my father. My father left early, the family has no money, Yingying's mother's family is also poor, she is two years older than me, my mother is traditional, and she also wants to get me a daughter-in-law according to her set, so I got married at the age of seventeen! ”

"Yingying, his grandfather left early!"

"Yes! The family is poor, my father is also old, my mother takes a few children alone, and it is that era, there is no man to support the scene, think about that day! Not to mention that I have younger brothers and sisters behind me! Then I can only hurry up and get married. Hey, the marriage is also shabby, I made two lime cabinets, two wooden boxes, three tables and four dishes - just like that, I brought Yingying's mother! Luckily, her mom didn't dislike me. ”

"You can do it, my sister-in-law is also happy!"

"Hey, what's the blessing? Young-young still holds a grudge against me for treating his mother badly! The corners of the old horse's eyes drooped.

"At that time, the status of women was generally low, and every family in the village was like this! Time is new. Middle. country, but our customs there are still ancient, didn't my uncle marry two women, and those two women were not buried together in the end? We and our previous two generations are the transition zone between the new and the old - that's what my son said. ”

"Makes sense! Our generation has a bad life, war, production, what era has caught up with ......"

"Yes, it used to be bitter!"

……

Two old peasants were lying in a large house of 81,000 square meters in Shenzhen, chatting about the hardships of the past. As they chatted about the twists and turns of the times and the same past, the day seemed to become longer.

At five o'clock, Xingxia's wife called him and urged him to buy groceries. Luckily, Xingxia drank much less than the old horse, so he called a taxi and rushed back. The old horse was lying on the cool ground alone, and his body seemed to travel to fifty years ago, and he soon couldn't help himself.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhiyuan opened the door with the box, only to smell a strong smell of wine! He waved his hand and walked into the house in surprise, only to see the old horse holding his stomach with his hands and purring like a trumpet. Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, quietly cleaned up the scraps on the table, and then prepared dinner for Weng and his son-in-law in the kitchen.

At seven o'clock, Hyosung drove to pick up Xiaotang and Xuemei, and the three of them arrived at the fox bar early. Hyosung ordered a glass of juice for his sister and a low-alcohol sweet wine for Xuemei, and the three of them chatted softly about Xuemei's future. As if on a late train, Hyosung happily dreamed of things he had never dared to hope for in the first half of his life.

At half past eight, Gui Ying came to the appointment, and when she came to order, she directly ordered a glass of high-level spirits, and opened her mouth to get up five eggs in the morning.
