Although my dad's friend had a bad reputation, he lent his house to our family and lived in it without collecting rent. Even if I had collected rent, it didn't affect the happy days I had when I lived in his house as a child.

At that time, I had a sheep at home, and my mother always let our two older sisters who went to school take turns herding the sheep, and my brother and I were not in school yet, like two farts worms, following my sisters, sometimes they would get bored, I would ask questions, but not when the sheep were herding.

My brother and I accompanied them to herd sheep and had a lot of fun like explorers. At that time, the adults had not yet discovered the tourist value of Qinglongling, and we discovered it. It is abundant, free, equal, open and inclusive.

Anyone can take a walk under the two rows of dense soap clip trees, pick up soap clips, pick up wood fire, cut grass to feed pigs and sheep, fold wild dates and dig sheep naphthalene ...... Qinglongling is the heavenly appearance in my childhood memories.

At that time, there were countless question marks in my mind every day that I needed to explore, and Qinglongling was the most beautiful place I went to explore. There are many interesting stories that I discovered when I was playing in Qinglongling.

For example, why is Qinglongling called Qinglongling? Why are there so many holes? Why are there so many rocks behind the house? Why are there so many soap sander trees? Why is there a peculiar empty house? Why is there a square pit in the middle? Why is there a river flowing on both sides? Why do you grow so many strange things......

If my dad was at home, he would answer the question marks that popped up in my head seriously and patiently. And my mother would never, she was always impatient, anxious to cook, anxious to feed the pigs, anxious to do laundry...... It seems that he is always chasing the time, as if he is afraid of delaying the next trip.

Before I could ask her a question, she would ask me, did you finish cutting the grass for the sheep today? How much wood did you pick up? Are the sheep full? Why did you get your clothes dirty again? Why did you get your clothes torn again...... Hurry up and drink the goat's milk.

When I began to understand adults, I began to dislike goat's milk. They will say that the goat's milk smells spicy, and the lamb will kneel to feed...... And my two sisters and my brother don't like to drink, so they can drink less or refuse not to drink, and I can't bear my mother to praise me, "Maomao is the most well-behaved!" ", "Maomao grew up drinking goat's milk", "Maomao is a sheep baby"...... He grunted and drank the rest. Actually, after I understood my mother's words, I started to dislike goat's milk.

I prefer spring on the Qinglong Ridge, folding the green thorns of the soap sandwich tree, peeling the skin and eating. In summer, there are more things to eat in autumn, and my favorite is the sweet and sour wild dates, which are delicious.

Once, my second sister and I went to herd sheep, patronizing the wild dates, the old ewe with the little lamb did not know where to go, looking around and couldn't find anything, so anxious that my second sister cried, did not dare to go home, has been looking in the ravine next to Qinglongling. I hurriedly ran home and told my mother, "Mom, my second sister lost the sheep", and my mother picked up the broom and pulled me up.

"Let the two of you herd the sheep, what are you two going to eat!"

……

I cried bitterly.

Then, my mother asked me to call my second sister back, and she went to look for the sheep.

Ha ha...... My mother, I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why I told my mother that my second sister had lost the sheep, and my mother was going to beat me up. And the second sister was not beaten by my mother, why did she cry.

After the old ewe and the little lamb were lost, my second sister cried urgently, but I didn't cry, and then my mother beat me to cry. For several days, I couldn't find the sheep, I couldn't let the sheep go, I had nothing to do, and I couldn't go to Qinglongling.

But the sweet and sour wild dates are still waiting for me, I can't bear it for a few days, and while my mother is not at home, I went to Qinglongling to fold wild dates to eat. Later, all I remember is that my mother beat me up because I said, "My second sister lost the sheep." ”

After that, I listened to my mother. My second sister and I lost the old ewe and the little lamb because of our playfulness, and she went out to look for it, and heard from the people of the village that she saw a fool from the neighboring village who had taken my sheep away.

My mother went to the fool's house in the neighboring village to ask for sheep, but she didn't even let the door in. I called my father, who was working in the county seat, back and went to the neighboring village to ask for sheep together.

The fool's family is also very poor, there is a blind mother, a father who is paralyzed in bed, the poor don't even have a chair to sit on, they all sit on the kang, I don't know whether they are dirty or black, and the whole sleeve placket is shiny and shiny.

The fool has a big brother who is also a fool, two people are seven or eight meters tall, they can't speak, babbling and babbling, and they spit on the stars when they say something, but they don't return the sheep.

A family of four said in unison, "The sheep is Aiwudi", "It is Aiwu's drop", "It is Aiwu's drop", "What is picked up is Aiwudi...... These few words were said over and over again.

In my mother's eyes, my dad was a two-pole when he was young, and he didn't know the severity, so angry that his fiery temper beat up the two brothers, and the big fool didn't know whether he was beaten or frightened, he sat down on the ground and urinated on the spot.

My mother saw that this situation was wrong, and if she continued to fight, she would die. Quickly stopped my father, and in the end, the two of them gave the fool's family a hundred yuan, brought the old ewe back, and the little lamb paid to the others.

Another time, I was also beaten by my mother because of the sheep incident. It was me and my eldest sister herding sheep, I was in the garbage heap next to Qinglongling, I picked up an unopened package of expired medical injection, I saw my mother using a needle to inject my sick pigs, all I suddenly had the idea of becoming a doctor, and then I said to my eldest sister, "Let's inject this injection into the sheep and see how the sheep react." ”

My eldest sister said, "There are no syringes." ”

I said, "I have it at home, I'll get it." ”

Without waiting for my eldest sister to say anything, I was elated and ran home as if I had discovered a new world, because I had a dream in my heart that I would become a doctor.

When I got home, my mom sat on a stone bench in the yard and did the laundry. I put the syringe my mom used to inject the pig into my pocket and tiptoed to get around under my mom's nose and run out. My mom stopped me and said, "What's in your pocket?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! ", I said.

"Take it out and take a look!" My mom commanded.

At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.

I didn't dig it. My mom came over and pulled the syringe out of my pocket. Frightened, he asked me, "What are you doing with this?" ”

"My eldest sister told me to go home and get it!" I explained.

"What did your eldest sister tell you to do with the syringe!" My mom yelled.

I was startled and whispered, "Inject the liquid into the sheep."

"Papa......" I only listened to my mother pick up the clothes that had not had time to wash, "papapapa......" dozens of times, the sound of all the clothes falling on me, the clothes hurt without a broom, but it really hurt that the buttons of the clothes fell on the skin without clothes.

muttered in his mouth, "Your eldest sister let you take it, your sister let you take it, your eldest sister let you eat, will you go?" ”

I didn't cry, I just cried.

At that time, I really didn't understand why my eldest sister asked me to take it, and my mother beat me again.

I didn't dare to ask my eldest sister again, I think she would definitely say, "You are stupid, you won't secretly drip and won't be discovered......".

Besides, my mother said such ugly words, I just heard it, so I didn't tell my eldest sister.

My eldest sister came back and asked me, "Why didn't you take the syringe?" ”

I said, "Mom won't let me take it." ”

"Mom, it's weird to let you take it." My eldest sister laughed, and I had a feeling of being grogged at by my eldest sister. But no one told me why I couldn't inject unopened expired injections into sheep.

In my childhood, I wanted to be a doctor, and I had a dream of being a doctor, and after being beaten by my mother, I never thought about being a doctor again, and I didn't even do a doctor's game.

There was another incident in my childhood, my mom beat me up, and it still remembers it vividly. When I was young, there was a time when my four sisters and brothers were very good at eating, and we all wanted to eat anything, but my mother wouldn't let us eat, so we started to eat secretly, and for this I didn't get beaten by my mother.

Once, my mom locked the oily pepper in her room and wouldn't let us eat it. My eldest sister wanted to eat it, and then urged me to get through the window frame on the door and open it, and I said, "I don't dare, my mother will find out." ”

Then, my eldest sister despised me, "Coward." ”

She encouraged my second sister to get in through the window frame on the door and open it. The two of them wrapped a little bit of oil and spicy pepper in paper and ate it with a pot helmet.

I really didn't eat that time.

As a result, I didn't know how to throw the paper with oil and spicy seeds, and my mother came back and found out, and my mother insisted that I had stolen the oil and spicy seeds, and beat me hard, saying: "You are a terrible baby, you will go through the door and eat it secretly, and you still want to go to heaven when you grow up." ”

I cried and said, "It's not me, it's the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

"You are still quibbling, who else but you have turned over our door." The more I explained, the harder my mom played.

I remembered that not long ago, she had locked the key to her house, and I had volunteered to climb the window to get it out for her.

Later, my mother beat my eldest sister and second sister again, and I just cried and didn't explain anymore.

Then, my mother wrapped some of the spicy seeds in the bowl in paper, gave them to me, and laughed and said, "You love to eat so much, give it to you." Eat it all! ”

I didn't explain any more, and ate it with tears in my eyes.

That time, I understood a truth, and it was useless to explain, but only to let my sisters follow me and be punished, so that I was even more unlikable.

I won't explain it after that.

One thing I never figured out in my childhood was that when my dad was at home, he always praised me for being the smartest. But why did my mother praise me for being smart and beat me all the time. The eldest sister and the second sister always heard my questions and would say, "You are stupid." ”

Later, after I watched Ah Lai's "The Dust Settled", I realized that I was indeed a fool. My mother said that I was smart, and she always beat me because she hated iron and steel, and my father praised me for being smart, but he just encouraged me. The eldest sister and the second sister said that I was stupid, but it turned out to be true.
