Chapter 6 Transformation
After sending his brother to school and coming back, Lele was left with a child at home. As the elder of the family, my brothers and sisters are so happy when they are at home! Now my mother is either busy in the fields or going to see a doctor.
Since there was no electricity in their village, it was dark at night except for the light of kerosene lamps. At night when there are no adults at home, my mother wants to go to see a doctor in the village, so she will use a carrier to carry the three-year-old Lele on her back. If it was this village, she would walk with her mother, and at that time they didn't even have a flashlight!
With her current mental age, even if she has no electricity, she will not be afraid of being alone at home. She also promised her mother, but her mother was not at ease, saying that she would only feel more at ease when she saw Lele in front of her.
Go to the clinic at night, it's okay on a moonlit night, or you can only go in the dark!
According to her mother's old saying: she has been walking in this village for more than 30 years, and she will not step into a puddle even if she closes her eyes!
Lele used to be very strange, why did those people call their mothers to visit the clinic at night? One is that my mother is too busy to have time during the day. It turned out that my mother also had a colleague, who made a bet with my mother to let the third sister speak, and bet on the uncle of the two hens. The people in the village were very strange and didn't ask him to go to the doctor, even the people from their village came to ask his mother to see him! Later, when he saw that no one was looking for him, he simply went home to do farm work.
Second, the person who asked my mother to see a doctor said that I felt relieved and relieved when I saw my mother. Others, they just don't trust.
Maybe it's because she has walked too many nights with her mother, and her courage is as fat as in her previous life. Like in his previous life, he fell in love with listening to ghost stories, and when he met someone, he asked others to tell him a ghost story. The villagers who came to their house often asked their mother in wonder:
"Your little daughter Lele, why is she so bold?"
"Isn't it, I take her to the clinic at night to give me courage!" Mom said unexpectedly.
In other words, they not only have a lot of land in the countryside, but also a lot of mountains. There are a lot of stories about ghosts and ghosts!
A corner in the village, an old house, an old tree, a small bamboo forest, a fish pond, a small gap by the river, a grave in the middle of the village, a path...... There will be ghost stories handed down by the villagers.
In her previous life, she was very curious as soon as summer came! At night, when he heard that there was a ghost fire, he took his brother and ran to the middle of the village, where it was said to be a group of graves, to see the ghost fire that was flashing in the blue and faint. At that time, she and her brother wanted to put them in bottles like fireflies for lighting......
The land had been empty, and there were broken foundations, so someone should have wanted to build a house there. I heard from the old people in the village: It used to be the house of a wealthy family in the village, but later the family was killed by bandits and the house was burned down, and their relatives buried the family in the same place. It wasn't until more than 20 years ago that the relatives came back and removed their graves. Later, the relative invited Mr. Feng Shui to look at the land and wanted to build a house in the same place, but Mr. Feng Shui said that although this is a treasure land, it cannot build a house to live in. After the relative left, there were people in the village who did not believe in evil and wanted to start the house, and when the house was about to be put on the beam, the beam of the house collapsed by itself, and the owner also fell from it, but fortunately the person was fine. Soon after, the man said that it was because the foundation was not well raised, and the house was demolished and rebuilt, but it still collapsed when the beams were up, and the owner was broken by the presser. But he still didn't give up, and when he went up the beam for the third time, the master was crushed to death...... Since then, no one will ever spend the night from there if it is not necessary! There are so many, too many stories like that!
In addition to her busy farming, my mother often takes Lele to the nearby mountains to dig up some commonly used Chinese herbs. Because it is not far away, it is difficult to find valuable Chinese herbs in this area. My mother would always tell her about the pharmacology of some herbs, what they are used for, what diseases they are used for, and how to use them. Because of her young age, most of her mothers will take her with her when she goes to the clinic, and she was not sensible in her previous life, so she just wanted to stick to her mother and be with her mother! In this life, when she visits her mother, she will always follow her mother to carefully look at the patient's superficial symptoms, although she does not take the pulse, she knows a lot. When talking about pharmacology, my mother will tell Huang Lele together with the symptoms like telling a story, which is very easy to understand. Even if I don't have the heart of more than 30 years, I still like to listen to my mother as much as I like to listen to stories.
Usually, my mother is busy with geography, and my grandfather goes to herd cattle, so there are no adults at home! She had to be at home by herself, so her mother found her a little yellow dog to come back to accompany her.
This little yellow dog accompanied her for three years in her previous life and understands human nature very well. usually follows her, she goes wherever she goes, and it follows her; As soon as Lele called it, he quickly ran to Lele's side. I remember one time, the wild boar ran to the village, she was playing outside with her friends, and when the wild boar came, Rhubarb kept by her side, barking at the wild boar, trying to drive the wild boar away. The rhubarb's cry attracted the adults of the village, who rushed over with poles, hoes, and sticks, and trapped the wild boar and beat it to death. The adults who hunted wild boars also gave them a piece of wild boar! Rhubarb doesn't usually eat anything from strangers. The eldest brother who sells meat next door often comes to our house and is also familiar with rhubarb. So one day he gave Rhubarb a piece of poisonous pork, and Rhubarb ate it, and he was poisoned. At that time, I cried very sadly, buried the rhubarb in the back of the house, and planted sunflowers on it. After that, she never had a dog......
Now, Rhubarb came to her again, and she decided to keep him away from the big brother who sold meat next door, and when she saw him, she told him that he was a bad person, and she wouldn't let Rhubarb get acquainted with him again!
She is not like in her previous life, she takes rhubarb everywhere to play every day, so she turns out her sisters' primary school textbooks at home and reads them slowly. As for whether they can all score 100 points, it is not necessarily. I originally wanted to use the little pencil left by my brother and sister to write some words and write down some important events in my past life that I still remember, but this pencil is too difficult to write! Thinking about it, it's much better to write with grandpa's brush than this.
When my grandfather was a child, his family was still a small landowner, and he went to a private school. His handwriting is still good. The brush characters written by Dad are cursive, official script, and regular script, and in the previous life, when Dad retired and had nothing to do, he wrote big characters every day.
That night, when our family of three was sitting outside the house after dinner, I quickly sat down next to my grandfather and said to him:
"Grandpa, Lele wants to learn to write with you, is it okay?"
"Lele is so small, wouldn't it be good to write pencil words? Why do you suddenly want to learn calligraphy? Grandpa gently touched Lele's head and asked.
"Because, Lele thinks that people who write calligraphy are smarter than those who write pencil words?"
"Huh...... We want to make ourselves smarter? β
"Of course!"
"Good! Good! Good! Grandpa will teach Lele to become smarter from now on......" Grandpa happily went back to the house and took out his pen and ink, put it on the table, and then found old paper to spread out, and showed her how to write strokes while talking, and she also learned from grandpa seriously......
Later, I felt that with our family's economic situation, this was a waste of pen and ink! In my previous life, didn't I often see some old people writing on the ground with big brushes dipped in water in the square? How nice it would be for them to do the same, practicing calligraphy on a big smooth stone outside the kitchen! The next day, I asked my grandfather to take a brush dipped in water and teach her to practice calligraphy on a stone, saving ink and paper, and practicing calligraphy well......
And since my brother watched "Journey to the West", he has also liked to read, and he no longer likes to go to class like he did in his previous life, so he skips class and wanders around. He read "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Dream of Red Mansions" He resolutely did not read it, he said that it was read by girls, and the people in it were sick and crooked. He read "Sou Shen Ji", "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Chuan", "Confucianism and Foreign History" and so on.
The speed at which he reads books is getting faster and faster, and after chatting with him for a long time, he can pop up a lot of idioms, and it's really not good if you don't admire him! It's no wonder that he hit her head badly in his previous life.
In 80, I was five years old and my brother was eight years old.
Our village is connected to electricity, and the village has also installed radio broadcasts for all the families that have been electrified, and there is a time when you can listen to the news of the central radio station, and in some cases, if the village cadres in the brigade are there, you can also listen to other radio contents.
He remembers that half a year later, his mother was going to buy a flour machine to come back. In the past two years, their family has also made some money raising livestock. Originally, in her previous life, my mother demolished the family's low mud house this year and rebuilt the tall tiled house, but now my brother and they all use money to study, and my mother has not mentioned the matter of building a new house. In this way, the money in the mother's hand and the sale of the two fat pigs in the family should be enough to buy a machine, and there is no need to cooperate with the eldest aunt. In this case, it is better to ask your mother to buy the machine back in advance. Anyway, my mother learns things very quickly, as long as she learns for three or two days, she will be able to understand the principles and uses!
One night, I was lying in bed with my mother, and I couldn't sleep for a while because I was thinking about it, so I turned over, hugged my mother's arm and said:
"Mom, I heard on the radio a few days ago that there is a flour-making machine that is easy to use, convenient and profitable. Why don't we buy it back and sell it as powder, and when we make a lot of money, we will build a house that is bigger and wider than my uncle's house! Otherwise, when we build a building, we will follow the kind of building we see in the town, and they will die with envy! β
"You little brat, what do you know? That machine mother has also heard of it, and she has thought about buying it, but it is too expensive, and if you want to buy such a big machine back, we will live a poor life again. Besides, we don't have a place at home! β
Mom said that there was no space, and she remembered that in her previous life, her mother did not do it at home, but rented the team's zero-hour warehouse, which was on the edge of the barn-drying field, so that when the rice was usually harvested and dried in the rain, everyone could stack the rice at zero hour.
"Mom, if you buy a machine and come back, we won't live a poor life for long! Besides, isn't it possible to rent the zero-hour granary in our team, now that the autumn harvest is over, everyone has moved the grain home, isn't the warehouse empty? β
"That's okay, or let's go to the countryside tomorrow to discuss with your father, and by the way, see your brother and sister. Now, you quickly close your eyes and sleep. β
Huang Lele thought to himself: Mom said that she had discussed it with Dad, that is, she just asked her father's opinion. The affairs of the family are basically decided by the mother. Dad just paid a salary of dozens of yuan, and he burned cigarettes, which was not enough for him to spend himself. My brother and sister pay for their studies, and my mother bears it alone.
In her previous life, she admired her mother very much, dared to speak and do, was very courageous, and always did her best. Compared to Dad's cautious ink personality, I don't know how many times it is crisp and neat.
