Chapter 12: The Golden Child and the Silver Child (12) to be repaired

Previous Chapter

In the evening after the wheat harvest, the weather was still hot, the adults cleaned the front of the door, shook the pu fan to cool off, and the children ran around the street. Mei put on a broken square handkerchief, took a wicker, sang and danced in front of the door, Yiyiyaya, can't distinguish the words, can't distinguish the tune, the friends coaxed and applauded, and then another, Mei danced and danced for a while, sweating profusely. At first, my grandmother just sat on the side and watched with a smile, but when she saw that she was sweating and making trouble, she smiled and shouted, "Okay, okay, stop and sing again." Mei stopped, and her friends gathered around her and asked, "Go to Jinan, what did your father give you to eat?" Mei was still happy and said, "I ate the steamed buns with all the meat." I don't know how many times I have been asked the same thing, but every time my mother hears it, she always says, "Don't you kill (die)!" Just remember to eat, look at the gluttonous nest, so deep. "My father is proud of it, and my grandmother is always light.

Seeing Sister Jane playing with other children and clapping, Mei stepped forward and asked, "Sister Jane, where have you been these days, it's been a few days, and I haven't found you?" Jane happily said that she went to her grandmother's house, and in the past two days, her grandmother has rolled noodles for her to eat. Mei ran to her grandmother and asked, "Why did they all go to my grandmother's house, but I didn't?" Grandma said, "We'll go in a few days, we'll go in a few days, ah." "Since Ni said what should not be said, grandma has drawn a range of friends who are allowed to play, the most trusted by grandma is Jane, Jane is the granddaughter of Xu's grandmother, Xu's grandmother is needless to say, Jane's mother is often praised by grandma, saying that she is an honest, diligent, capable, not much talk, not much to say, not much to do. When encountering difficult things, grandma always consulted with the grandmother of the Xu family to get ideas, and Aunt Yu was a person who could never talk.

On this day, when I was having lunch, Sister Qin, the daughter of the third mother, suddenly came over, pulled Mei up and said, "Let's go, let's catch the birds!" "It's Mei's dream for a long time to catch the birds, I don't know how many times I heard adults and boys say who touched how many eggs of the birds, who wanted to scramble the eggs of the birds, there were some black spots on a few eggs, at first I didn't care, opened one, a small snake crawled out of it, scared to put the rest of the eggs back to the original nest, and the open eggs did not dare to eat and poured out. The old people said that if you eat a snake's egg, you will suffer retribution for harming the snake. As a result, almost all children know that although the snake egg is similar in appearance to the house finch egg, there are irregular black spots on it, and those black spots have become the symbol of the snake egg. The sensible children pretended not to see them when they encountered them, and the troublemakers were looking for such eggs, and they broke them on the ground, and the yolks scattered on the ground walked away, and if the little snake crawled out, they howled excitedly, and surrounded them with branches to drive them away, and they did not kill them at once, and saw that the little snake was injured and frightened and fled but could not escape, which made them excited and bloody, tired of playing, tired of playing, and a brick was shot to death. Fortunately, the old man saw it and shouted loudly, and the troublemakers scattered, and the little snake dragged the crippled body away.

Sister Qin Lamei ran to her family's broken grass house, hugged her tightly behind the door, Mei asked strangely, "Sister, isn't it a finch catcher?" Why don't we catch it? The sister whispered, "Don't speak, you won't be able to catch the house finch if you are scared away!" "There were weeds and worn-out wood and tools piled up in the broken house, as well as a large hoard of grain and a few bundles of worn-out grass in the early years, and there were knots of cobwebs everywhere, but there was no trace of the house finch. There was a lot of noise outside. "What's going on out there?" Mei was curious and wanted to stand up and look out through the crack in the door, but her sister dragged her and covered her mouth with her hand, "Don't make a sound, catch the child!" As soon as she heard that the child was arrested, Mei didn't dare to come out, so she let her sister stick to the door with her arms around her. The sound of the noise was getting closer and closer, and when he entered the third mother's house, one of them shouted loudly, "Find!" It's obviously there, but I can't find it! "The sound of the restaurant and the hall opening and closing the door constantly. Suddenly, someone said, "I haven't found it yet!" Pointing directly to the dilapidated grass hut where the sisters were hiding, someone looked through the dilapidated broken window, "If you don't cover the bar, you won't be here." Someone pushed the door with his hand, I don't know if the dilapidated wooden door was too heavy, or the sisters were too tight, the door didn't move, and the sister's heart beat extremely tightly. The people outside the door left disappointed. Everything returned to calm, and only the pounding heartbeat of my sister could be heard. After a while, I don't know if my sister forgot to let go, or if I was sure that there was no one outside. The ghostly passage of time. The elder sister finally let go, gently opened the door, poked her head out, looked around, and was sure that there was no one, so she left Mei and went into the hall. The third mother and the third master are back, seeing that my sister arched the dust, the third mother took her hand to wipe her, the sister threw her hands and stomped her feet and lost her temper, and the third mother coaxed and persuaded gently, as soon as she entered the hall, her sister cried loudly, "Don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future!" Don't look for me! The third master took Mei's hand and sent her home, Mei asked strangely, "Uncle, my sister hasn't caught me yet!" The uncle wiped the dust on her forehead, and her tone was rare and gentle, and her voice was rarely so small, "Let's arrest it later, and arrest it later." ”

Early the next morning, her grandmother put on a beautiful skirt for her, and her mother made small flower cloth shoes, and told her, "Go to my grandmother's house today, at my grandmother's house, be well-behaved, you can call whatever you want, and if you don't know what to call, just ask, don't pout and not squeak." Mother hastened to take two pieces of silk cloth from the drawer, and tied them into two beautiful large bows on her two thin braids. Mei happily got on her father's car to pull goods in the county seat. The father rushed the car to the designated place, told the people to load the goods, found a bicycle himself, and took Mei to the street. Stopped in front of the breakfast stall on the street, asked for two bowls of bean juice and a few fritters, sat at the small table next to him and ate it, Mei followed the example of her father, took two bites of fritters, and drank the yellow bean juice in the bowl, just drank it in her mouth and felt that the taste was wrong, a little sour, a little weird, Mei grinned and swallowed it forcibly, while sticking out her tongue and asking, "Dad, what is this, it tastes so strange?" My father said as he ate, "Bean juice is nutritious!" It's much better than your mother's stick sticking (i.e., boiling polenta)! The woman who sold breakfast smiled, "Most children can't drink it!" Seeing her smiling, Mei looked at her and her stall, the middle-aged woman was chubby, with a large oil-stained apron hanging from her chest, a pot for frying fritters, a bucket for bean juice, and even a layer of black oil stains hanging on the board and table. At the father's forced request, he drank half a bowl of bean juice, and then said that he would not drink it anymore, and his father took a bowl and drank the remaining bean juice in two sips, gave the woman money, and carried Mei into the car. Still so dirty? I couldn't help but ask, "Dad, this person is so dirty, why do you still eat her things?" It's dirtier than the old horse's house in our village! "Don't talk nonsense! Let the family hear and leave you, and let you follow her to drink bean juice every day! Her father laughed and scolded her.

Because it's not the first time to come, Mei is still more familiar with her grandmother's house, the people in her grandmother's village, she knows some, knows who to call her uncle, who to call her grandmother and grandfather, half of the village seems to know her, some because every time she comes to grandma's mother, she calls her "flower moth (i.e., flower butterfly)" or "flower girl", and some because she sees people, she sweetly calls this and that, and calls her "sweet girl". Every time I came before, my grandmother would meet me in front of the door, but this time, the door was open, but no one got out of the car in front of the door, ran into the house and shouted twice, and when I saw that there was no response, I ran straight to the pigsty, and there were some tender wild vegetables on the side of the pigsty. The pigs ate happily.

The grandmother walked in with two buckets of water trembling slowly, and saw her feeding the pigs next to the pigsty, she was stunned at first, and then put down the bucket and didn't have time to pour the water into the tank, so she only put the flat shoulder on the bucket, "Oh, my child, why are you here!" When I saw the car shadow (i.e., the car print), I thought it was your uncle who came back! As she spoke, she greeted with her arms open, and Mei heard her grandmother come back, and screamed for her grandmother to throw herself into her arms. Grandma hugged her and held her hand, "Let's go, go to the house, let's cook!" When my father heard that my grandmother was coming back, he just stood at the door, "Let's go see the little pig!" Broke her away, went to the house with her grandmother, and said a few words in a low voice, and her grandmother looked serious. My father left without lunch, and before leaving, he just told her: listen to her grandmother obediently, and come to pick her up in a few days.

Uncle went to the township agricultural machinery station to learn the tractor, became a tractor driver in the team to drive a tractor can be less coolie and earn more work, more importantly, everyone is busy in the field, he sits on the high tractor, roaring all over the ground, favored by beautiful girls and young daughters-in-law, maybe that day this tractor will hang himself an enviable good daughter-in-law! This is a good errand that young men dream of. Originally, several people were vying to go, but in the end, because my uncle was smart, studious and honest, my grandmother was a good person, and the orphans and widows were taken care of by the villagers, so my uncle went with a young man of the same generation in the village, and my grandmother was very grateful to the villagers.

As soon as it got dark, Mei regretted it, she began to think about her grandmother, her eyes were red, with tears in her eyes, sitting on the small bench and watching the color of the sunset change from light to thick, from thick to dark and slowly fade away, what did she want her grandmother to do at home? If you are at home, you must kneel on the chair and lie on the edge of the table to eat next to grandma, grandma will put what she likes to eat in her bowl one by one, even if there is nothing, grandma will put pickles or soybeans in boiled bean paste evenly on the porridge noodles, coax her to drink in large gulps, until her little belly is bulging.

Grandma's cob porridge is light and thin, the cornmeal cake is burnt and brown and looks very attractive, Mei grabbed a piece and took a bite, only to know that the good-looking one may not be delicious, the cake is hard and astringent, there is no soybean fragrance at all, when she was at home, grandma also tried to let her eat this corn tortilla, although the thick and some throat, but there is a soybean fragrance. The first time I ate a small piece of cake, my grandmother was so happy that she said to several people, "My child can eat whole grains, and I have eaten such a piece of cake!" Some of the people who listened were happy, "Yes! I've really grown up! "Some don't think so, just lightly. Although her mother didn't think so, she didn't advocate letting Mei eat cakes in the future, because she knew that as long as Mei ate cakes, her sister would naturally have to eat cakes together, and she didn't want her children to eat cakes, and besides, where to get fine grains was grandma's business, and she didn't have to worry about it at all. Mei's first reaction was to spit out the cake that she had eaten in her mouth, and suddenly remembered her grandmother's words when she came, and her grandmother said that her grandmother's family had a tight life, so she should not be picky when she went, and she would eat whatever her grandmother gave. Mei took a shredded pickle and swallowed the cake, only to know that it was wrong again when she ate it in her mouth, the pickle only had a thick salty taste, she swallowed the cake hard, and felt that her throat and eyes were hot as if they had been broken. Sitting there and no longer eating, seeing that the grandmother was gulping down the porridge and eating the cake was very fragrant, Mei couldn't help but take a small bite of the cake again, and sandwiched a small piece of shredded pickles, which was still the taste just now, so she simply put down the cake and chopsticks and sat silently. When my cousin heard that she was coming, he brought a few friends to play with her, and when he saw that she was not eating, he asked her, "Why don't you eat?" She replied, "I'm not hungry!" "It's a nice sound!" Mei smiled happily when she saw her friends praising her. I couldn't help but ask my grandmother, "Grandma, why isn't there sesame oil in the pickles?" Grandma was stunned for a moment, "I'll buy it for you tomorrow!" The friends praised her dress for her beauty, and coaxed her to turn in circles, and she spun around, and ushered in the first night at her grandmother's house in the swirling melody.
