Chapter 69 Bittersweet Remembrance
Huang Xiaoyuan and Liang Liang saw that Lele was just sending a letter, although the letter was also sent, but now they got a bunch of stamps and went home, so they all felt very strange. And what made them even more strange was that Lele even bought their share, isn't it a waste of money, just buy it, she even said:
"You keep this stamp for me, I will check it at any time, if I find it missing, then you will know that the typo is to practice writing"
Let the two of them look at each other when they hear it, and they don't know what Lele is famous for, but as long as it is something that Lele gave to the two of them, how can they lose it? Even if Lele doesn't say it, they will collect it well
When they sent a letter, bought stamps, and then returned home slowly, they found that there were guests at home, Lele took a serious look, it turned out to be the third uncle in the clan, and Lele felt very kind when he saw the third uncle
"Third uncle, Lele hasn't seen you for a long time."
"Yo, it's Lele girl, the third uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, the little girl has grown again," the third uncle said honestly.
After Lele greeted the third uncle, he asked the third uncle about the current affairs in the village.
The third uncle is an honest farmer, and he even speaks half a beat slower than others. Due to the perennial food and drink in the field, the skin is tanned, and the face has wrinkles from wind and frost fatigue.
The third uncle's family is now well fed, and the family is rarely willing to eat meat. However, during the festival, whether it is in the past life or in this life, when they kill chickens in their family, they will send chicken butts, chicken livers, and chicken legs to Lele's house every time, because in the clan, the grandfather has the highest seniority, and the third uncle would rather eat less for his own family, but also honor the elders. Even if the Lele family is now, in fact, it is not uncommon for their family to send this thing over. But every time the brother of the third uncle's family sent them a piece of their heart, Lan Ying always accepted it happily.
Lele once saw that the elder brother of the third uncle's family was watching the chicken leg swallow saliva and sending it over, but he would definitely be able to hold back and control his hands and feet, and he would still send a lot of tempting food to Lele's house. Although after that, Lan Ying will ask Lele to send a big bowl of meat from her family to the third uncle's family, you can't let the third uncle's family not eat enough for the holidays, right?
Because when Lele went to deliver meat, he was seen by the uncle and knew that Lele was sending meat to the third uncle's family. The uncle's family came to Lele's house, brazenly pointed at Lele's mother and said that she was biased, and said that the third uncle's family had sent a big bowl of meat, at least a bigger bowl should be sent to their family, not to mention that he was considered an elder, but Lele's mother did not send things to their family, but sent them to the third uncle's family, which was really undeserved...... The uncle's heart is extremely unbalanced, accusing Lele's mother.
At that time, the grandfather listened to the uncle's words and said directly:
"Just you? What kind of elder do you call in front of me? You are still uncomfortable when the child gives food to the third child's family, and you think it's unfair? Do you know why they gave it to the third family and not to you? Because the third child has always been the elder of their family, and you? But he thinks he is the elder of our family. How dare you come to our house and accuse us of not bringing you food? You've got a long face......"
Grandpa's words made the uncle's family leave Lele's house with their tails between their legs.
And Lele's family can help the third uncle and their family, and they will not let go. The third uncle and his family, as long as they see that Lele and their family need help, they always come to help without saying a word. So Lele and his children have a good impression of the third uncle's family.
Seeing the third uncle, Lele remembered that his family was very difficult during the period, and the third uncle's family was also in the same difficulty. However, when Lele and his children didn't even come to drink porridge, when their mother was not at home, the third uncle asked their sisters to come to their house to drink porridge. When my mother found out and went to their house to thank him, the third uncle said guiltily:
"It's all a family, thank you for what? I just added an extra scoop of water and boiled the porridge a little bit, and the children didn't get enough to eat."
Lele still remembers that her mother burst into tears when she heard the words of the third uncle. At that time, he made up his mind and said:
"I don't believe that we have always been so poor, even if I am the only laborer in our family, I will not let our children continue to starve."
Since then, my mother has worked harder and more seriously.
At that time, the little uncle laughed at his mother's stupid dream, and his mother said something that Lele remembered for the rest of his life:
"I swear in front of everyone: If my Lan Ying family is poorer than your family in the future, I will walk around the village with my hands upside down, and if I can't walk, I will ask my son and daughter to help me lift my feet, and I will also walk around the village for a while, and all the villagers present here can testify to me. I, Lan Ying, said to do it."
Mother's firm oath reminded Lele of a song that he particularly liked in his previous life, the song title: "The Sea and the Sky", the lyrics are very appropriate for the current mother
I had suspected that I was walking in the desert
Never bear fruit, no matter what kind of dream
Only then did he spread his wings, but the wind fell silent
Can the pain of habit be considered a gain?
Thankfully, I haven't looked back
Finally found out that there really is an oasis
Every sweat has become heavy and life-heavy
Only when you get out of your frustration do you see a new universe
The sea and the sky are after the bravery
Break the lock of fate with attachment
Indifferent people
Thank you for looking down on me for once
Let me not bow my head and live more brilliantly
The wee hours of the morning window are insomnia after the whole night
Watching Dawn raise his head from the clouds
Sunset is submersible, sunrise is ripe
As long as it is light, it will be brilliant
The sea and the sky are after the bravery
Break the lock of fate with attachment
Indifferent people
Thank you for looking down on me for once
Let me not bow my head and live more brilliantly
After the storm and storm
Turning his head and smiling sadly at his old heart
The one who knows me best
Thank you for being with me silently all the way
Let me have a good story to tell
Look at the future step by step
In her previous life, Lele was very depressed for a period of time, and she was criticized by the leader in the unit, and when she came back, her family kept forcing her to go on a blind date. So, when I heard this song by chance, I put the song on my mobile phone and listened to it repeatedly whenever I had time. One day, she resolutely quit her job, left her hometown to work in other places, and then met the only man she had loved in her previous life......
Lele remembers: From the day my mother swore it, I went to borrow money to buy poultry and came back to raise it, and everything I raised grew faster than other people's families.
Although grandpa's eyes are not good, he also picks up farm manure in the village whenever he has time, and then takes it to the field to put it. The sisters take good care of the vegetable garden and go to the field to weed when they have time. Slowly, their family's rice grew better than others'.
That year's harvest, their rice was the best harvest, and the poultry of the family had grown up, and the hens had already laid eggs several times, and each time the mother let the hens hatch the eggs. Every time the hen hatched a bad egg, the grandfather would always fry it for them. Although the taste of the eggs is very strong, but there have always been sour and fried vegetables to eat them, the fried eggs are already a very delicious food, and later, the mother felt that the hen hatched chicks already had several litters, so she asked the grandfather to bring those eggs to cook for everyone to eat, because the number is not much, so the eggs can be eaten by the brother Huang Xiaoyuan and her
The housework at home is done by the sisters, and the mother is relieved to do her things.
Later, their family was able to eat rice instead of porridge that was too thin to pick up rice grains......
The third uncle probably came to see his daughter today, and when my mother went back to the village to recruit people, she recruited the eldest daughter and second daughter of the third uncle to help make rice noodles.
Because the third uncle and his family do not have much land, they also have five children in the family: three girls and two boys. Because the rural people have a more serious patriarchal mentality, only two sons in their family can go to school. It's just that because my family was poor before, I didn't have the money to continue my education after graduating from primary school. His eldest daughter is the fourth in the family, and everyone in the clan is used to calling her the fourth sister, and the second daughter is the fifth, so everyone calls her the fifth sister.
Because of the arrival of the third uncle, the dinner in the evening was very rich, and when I usually eat, although I also eat with a table of people, today I am also the same with a large table of people, and it is very lively when I eat.
Everyone chatted and ate, and Lele, who was sitting opposite the third uncle, suddenly saw that the third uncle seemed to be very uncomfortable, so he asked with concern:
"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?"
The third uncle really wanted to tell Lele something, maybe he was too uncomfortable to say. So it took a while for him to come to his senses, and said:
"Why, is this tofu still so hot? When I ate it in my mouth, I felt a little hot, I thought it wouldn't be hot if I swallowed it, but who knew that when I got to my stomach, it seemed to be still rolling."
"Third child, spit it out next time it's hot, don't hurt yourself," Lan Ying said.
"What a pity to spit it out? In the past, when we were the poorest, we drank white porridge every day to send acid, how could we have thought that we could eat such delicious meals today? Now I can live a good life, and thanks to the help of your second sister-in-law, let our fourth and fifth sisters come out to work, and the life of the family is gradually getting better. The two sons are also familiar with farm work......"
Originally, the brothers of the Liang family felt a little funny when they heard the words of the third uncle before, and they thought in their hearts: This rural person is really thrifty. Isn't it just a piece of tofu? Spit it out, so why let yourself suffer that sin? After that, the third uncle's words made them feel ashamed, although they had never experienced the feeling of not having enough to eat, and they had heard Lele mention it many times. Even so, they all know that when they are hungry, they are really very uncomfortable, if they are allowed to eat only the same sour porridge for a long time, and drink porridge that is so thin that there are no rice grains, it is estimated that they will drink it all day long, and they will not feel full, and they will never waste food in the future
