Chapter 54: College students are coming to the village

I remember that Saturday was the National Day of the 11th National Day, and thinking about the current situation of the small long holiday, this is not the same day.

I didn't come home from school on Friday, so I walked with Li Hongyan for a while and then took the bus back to the countryside. When I returned to my hometown in the countryside, I saw that my mother was busy with her work, so I reached out to help my mother take care of the food.

"The wound on your hand is not healed yet, don't touch the water." Mom said with concern.

"It's okay, don't delay your earnings." I replied haphazardly.

"Isn't it for you that I earn money! What will you take to marry a daughter-in-law after you have no money? "Mom is back with her theory.

"Mom, tomorrow my sister who goes to school with me is coming to the house to play. Do you have any work for tomorrow? I can finish it today. ”

"What else can you do but carry water, you just fill those two jars of water. What is she doing at home? She's just a little old, and the rest looks okay. "Mom started to talk about that habitual topic again.

"It's not as you think, she just said to come and play, it's not as complicated as you think." I'm kind of annoyed with her.

"In that case, what time is it missing? Will you go back with me today? "Mom was upset by what I said.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to find Uncle Quanbao and play with Uncle Quanbao."

"Your Uncle Quanbao doesn't have much time to spend with you. I heard that you Guo Xiao, that Guo Xiao, the younger brother of the carpenter you should call your uncle, is still a college student, and he is going to come over to play for two days. Your Uncle Quanbao still has to go to Guo Xiao's old house to burn the kang for others today. Don't make a mess of people. Hearing my mother say "college student", there was some complaining tone.

"What's so great about college students, I'll go to college tomorrow." I want to do what I like and follow my mother's words.

"You think it's so easy to go to college, if it's easy, I'll go to school, and I still need to marry your father!" Mom sighed infinitely.

"What's wrong with Dad, I don't like to hear you always talk about Dad. He's not doing anything to me, but I'm not doing anything to me. "When I heard my mother say Dad, I was a little unhappy.

"Oh, you little cub still has a little conscience, why don't you say this in front of your dad, tell me that there is a fart." Mom said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I am, I love you, what's the matter." I'm embarrassed to be told.

"Okay, I didn't feed you in vain, and I still have a little conscience." Mom was satisfied this time.

As we talked, there was a shouting outside.

"Boss Li, okay, no, my car is here."

"Okay, okay, Mu Dun'er, hurry up and help me load the car."

My mother's vegetable business is getting bigger and bigger, and this time she hired a tricycle, and after loading the car at my house, we took the tricycle to Uncle Quanbao's house.

Uncle Quan Bao was also very happy to see me, and he quickly loaded the prepared dishes into the car. He also asked me if I had eaten.

"Mu Dun'er, are you sure you won't go back with me today?" Mom's words seem to be for Uncle Quanbao.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to stay with Uncle Quan Bao for two days before leaving."

"Then you don't write your homework, I see what you should do when you go to school after the holiday." What my mother said was a little insincere, and she really didn't care much about my studies.

"Sister-in-law, just let Dun'er stay with me for two days, I miss him, doesn't he bring all his books, where is he not doing homework, and my education level is okay. I'll watch you do his homework. Uncle Quan Bao also heard the sound outside the strings.

"Okay, it's just that your Uncle Quanbao likes you, or you will be your Uncle Quanbao's son in the future." Mom is still a little reluctant.

"Okay, Mom, you go slowly! Dad, what are we going to eat today! "I deliberately called Uncle Quan Bao "Dad", which amused the tricycle driver.

"You little rabbit, you're mad at me!" My mother also pretended to be angry, got on a tricycle and walked away "suddenly".

"Uncle Quanbao, I'm really hungry. There is nothing to eat. ”

"Oh, why don't you call your father, your mother will turn her face and deny her father when she leaves!" Uncle Quan Bao said with a smile.

"My dad isn't dead yet, how can I recognize you as my father. Stop, I'm so hungry. ”

"There are buds in the pot, and they are tender. Let's go, let's have a drink first. Liu Quanbao couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't you still have to burn people's kang? Don't burn other people's houses if you drink too much. ”

"You say you're a little broken kid, what's the matter?" Uncle Quan Bao said with a smile.

"You say you city people, how good it is to stay at home! I finally rested and went to the countryside to run hard. Uncle Quan Bao said with some puzzlement.

"Don't be you, I'm a rural person, I'm a rural person living in the city."

We talked and laughed and went inside. I feel very comfortable on the kang. Uncle Quan Bao quickly brought the food. After drinking some wine, the conversation naturally increased.

"Will your dad be back this year? What's so good out there! Isn't it good to be comfortable at home and watch over your wife and children? "Uncle Quan Bao still seems to be envious of my dad.

"I don't know. Hey, Uncle Quanbao, what's wrong with your one, that one? "I've always been curious.

"Hey, don't mention it, his husband is back."

"Didn't you say that her husband died in an accident while working outside?"

"No, don't listen to people's nonsense. Her husband was injured while digging coal outside, had an accident, and now his leg is useless. "Uncle Quan Bao is still a kind person.

"So, then you're going to do it?" I asked curiously.

"What's the matter, I'm not afraid if her husband is a healthy person, but now that he is disabled, if I rob someone's daughter-in-law, I'm still not human." Uncle Quan Bao was a little sad.

"Who's coming tomorrow, I have to burn the kang from your old man." I saw that the situation was not good, so I changed the subject.

"It's Guo Deguang's younger brother, it's Guo Xiao from our village, and now he's the big boss, he didn't rush back when his father was gone, or I told him."

"What's going on, tell me about it." I see that Uncle Quan Bao is interested.

"Okay, I'm fine anyway. But you'll have to come with me and help me burn the kang. ”

"Okay! I don't want to be here alone. ”

"Guo Xiao, I used to play with us with bare butts from childhood to adulthood. He was the youngest of our group of children at the time, and now he is the most promising. Uncle Quan Bao took a sip of wine and continued.

"His father, it's my Uncle Guo, you should call him grandpa, he is a craftsman. When I was a child, I watched him carry a carpenter's bag all day long. Guo Xiao was smart when he was a child, and he read until high school, but his family didn't have much money at that time, it seems that he was a sophomore in high school, my Aunt Guo, even Guo Xiao's mother got sick. In the past, his family's land was planted by Aunt Guo, but now that Guo went to school, Uncle Guo went home to farm.

As for Uncle Guo, he doesn't go out to work much. Uncle Guo's craftsmanship is okay, but farming is no longer good, just like I am used to herding sheep, so I am not very willing to farm.

Later, Guo Xiao graduated from high school, and he could have gone to college, but seeing the situation at home, he didn't go to college and went out to work.

Don't say it, Guo Xiao made some money in those years, but he didn't come back a few times. I got married and gave me a thousand dollars.

His father is Uncle Guo, and it's the New Year this year. No one can say exactly when he left, that is, before he left, he told others that his son would come home this year, and that his son had a girlfriend in the city. ”

"Didn't you say he died eating sticky bean buns?" I said it very inauthenticly.

"Who can say this clearly, don't talk nonsense about things without shadows.

When his father died, Guo Xiao didn't stay at home for a few days, and asked me to plant his family's land. I still have to go to his old house every once in a while to make a fire or something. ”

"Uncle Quanbao, then you can't be busy. My land, your land, and Uncle Guo's land all have to be planted by you! ”

"It's not much, we don't have enough land here to plant."

"When I grow up, if I have money, I will buy you a flock of sheep, and I still want to herd sheep with you, how nice!"

"Well, I'm not very willing to farm anymore, I think I'll be able to buy sheep without you growing up, and I'll be able to save some money this year, and we'll be able to drink goat's milk again when you come back next year."

"Don't tell me, I'm a little greedy. By the way, Uncle Quanbao, I asked my classmates to come to my house tomorrow to play. ”

"Oh, girlfriend, you're in a bit of a hurry."

"No, it's an older sister who went to school with me. She's in her third year of junior high school, don't think about it. ”

"Oh, I said you people in the city are just idle. It's so far away, what is there to play with? Uncle Quan Bao began his whining again.

"Okay, you can come to my house for dinner tomorrow, one sheep is also raised, and two sheep are also herded." Uncle Quan Bao continued.

"I didn't mean that, I can cook for her myself, didn't I cook my own before." I didn't want to trouble Uncle Quanbao.

"Pull it down, it's all guests, what's so embarrassing, you kid is still so outside. You eat less of me, not less than one mouth jacket. "Uncle Quan Bao is still very hospitable.

"Okay, I'll bring it to her. When are we going to Uncle Guo to burn the kang! ”

"Don't you say I really forgot, we'll go over now."

With that, Uncle Quan Bao and I cleaned up and went out.

In rural areas, people generally live at home and will not lock the door, but Uncle Guo's house is locked. Uncle Quan Bao took out the key and came to the lock, and walked into the yard. When I entered the courtyard, there was a lock in the house. When Uncle Quan Bao unlocked the house and entered the house, I picked up some dry wood and dead grass in the yard.

When I entered the house, I felt that the house that no one had lived in was still a little damp.

I lit a fire with dry grass, and Uncle Quan Bao threw some chopping wood into the stove, and the fire ignited in a flash.

We opened the windows and tried to get the cigarettes out as much as we could. As the wood burned, the house couldn't stay for a while.

"This house is a bit smoky, the kang hole and the chimney have to be opened, and it will be dealt with this year, but it will be difficult to say next year." Uncle Quan Bao himself muttered there.

"It's not your own house, what are you worried about!" I said it casually.

"You can't say that, you have to do it if you promise people to look at the house, but you can't deal with it." Uncle Quan Bao said very seriously.

"He can't live in this house for a few days a year, and he has to give him a chimney." I'm a little unconvinced.

"Isn't there someone who lives here, who is entrusted by others to be loyal to people! Don't you say that in the book reviews! Uncle Quan Bao explained.

"I'm convinced, you're such a good person. By the way, how many of them are there? ”

"Let's say it's two people, Brother Guo, and his brother's girlfriend, it is said that they are both college students." Uncle Quan Bao said that the college students had a look of adoration on their faces, and this scene reminded me of my mother.
