The evening wind carried a hint of coldness, and Qianqian rushed to the door of the house as fast as possible after school, at this time Ke Zhen's mother walked by Qianqian with a handful of greens in her hand, she turned her head and saw Qianqian's caring and said, "Qianqian, school?" ”

"Hmm!" Leaning on the wooden door and turning her head to look at Ke Zhen's mother, Ke Zhen's mother is a very beautiful woman, she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, although she is already a mother of two children, her appearance is still endlessly beautiful and gentle.

"Do you want to eat greens, take this handful of greens home." Ke Zhen's mother casually stretched out the green vegetables in her hand to the shallow.

"Don't!" Shallow shook his head.

"Take it!" Ke Zhen's mother was very earnest.

"I really don't!" Shallow was embarrassed to blush.

"Take it!" Ke Zhen's mother still wants to stuff the greens in her hand into the shallow.

"I really don't!" Shallow stretched out his hand and slapped the door.

Ke Zhen's mother saw it, so she had no choice but to take the vegetables home and cook.

It didn't take long for the wooden door of Qianqian's house to open, and it was Ke Zhen who opened the door. She was small, with yellow skin, holding a yellow pencil with only one section left in her hand, standing in place with a smile and looking at the shallow standing at the door and saying, "Coming back?" ”

"Hmm!" Qianqian responded and walked into the courtyard of his house, after Ke Zhen closed the door, followed Qianqian, she said to Youlin lying on the stone slab as she walked: "Where did you write, Youlin?" I'm only left with 3 pages. ”

"I have more than ten pages left?" Youlin casually flipped through the math textbook and said.

Qianqian didn't like Ke Zhen very much, she ran into the dim inner room, piled all the books in her arms on the sewing machine, and hurriedly found the homework assigned by the teacher, took them out, and walked out of the hall to the courtyard.

There is a tall and skinny sycamore tree in the yard that grows in front of an abandoned chicken coop. The sycamore tree will be full of purple trumpet-shaped flowers every autumn, and the light likes its color very much, so it is called the coconut purple tree, the coconut purple tree does not bloom in the spring, and all its branches are covered with large purple tree leaves.

I remember when I lived in the mountains when I was a child, the towering plane trees of the medicinal herb factory would be full of purple flowers every autumn, and those purple flowers would fall all over the place under the stroke of the autumn wind. Standing under the tree and listening to the wind, watching the flowers fall, everything is so beautiful. Shallow grandma often found a big broom and then scalded these flowers with hot water and then stir-fried to eat, grandma said that these sycamore flowers are particularly delicious for stir-frying, shallow also likes to eat sycamore cauliflower. At this time, Qianqian sat in the yard and quietly looked at the plane tree, remembering the time when he lived in the mountains.

Qianqian stood in the courtyard and quietly looked at the plane tree for a while, and then huddled together with Ke Zhen to do his homework. The three of them were lying on the stone slabs, talking and laughing.

In the evening, the gray-white stone slabs were littered with books and homework books that they had ravaged hundreds of times, and several of them were immersed in books, hoping to finish their homework early and make some time to play before going to bed.

The shallow mother kept walking around the yard and the house, and she was busy cooking for her children.

The shallow younger brother Kenji has been staying in the hall of the house quietly writing his homework, he is already a student in the kindergarten class, Kenji's academic performance has always been at the top of fame and fortune, and he is also good at singing and dancing. Every night after they finished their homework, Kenji would stand under the plane tree in the yard at the request of his sisters and perform the song and dance he had learned from kindergarten during the day.

"Kenji, what song did you learn today?" Shallow stood in front of his younger brother and asked his younger brother.

"Little frog!" Kenji replied.

"Sing it to all of us!"

"Hmm!" Kenji obediently stood in the circle around his sister and turned his body to sing and dance: "In the flowers by the lake, there is a cute little frog, it is scared when it comes to us, little frog, little frog, it is softly barking, cooing, cooing, cooing! ……”

"What a cute little frog!"

"Kenji sings so nicely......"

"Kenji sings it again and teaches us all!"

"Hmm!"

So Kenji sang it over and over again under everyone's expectations, and the children in the yard followed suit over and over again. They studied until late at night before they reluctantly went home.

Usually I don't know who my younger siblings go to school with, and it seems that they each have their own world.

Kenji is a smart kid who takes back 100-point papers and gives them to Junko no matter what the exam is in their class, Junko is happy to read it, and her sisters are also happy. This younger brother will memorize several Tang poems and Song lyrics when he is two years old, and he will learn what to do when he grows up. Kenji has an army-green canvas schoolbag, which is still the schoolbag that my aunt used when she was a child, with two big characters written on it: Liberation. Qianqian is very envious of his younger brother's schoolbag, but in their era, students prefer to carry books home or put them in their bicycles, which is a habit formation.

Kenji quietly stays in front of Junko every day after school to do his homework, and after finishing his homework, he follows Junko to watch his mother cook.

One afternoon, after school, I stood alone in front of the small wooden door and quietly looked at the towering poplar trees in the yard of the neighbor's house opposite, the branches and leaves of the poplar trees rattled in this silent courtyard, and few people came out of this huge house. This is Meizi's home, but it's just a back door. Occasionally, she would see Meizi's father open this back door and walk in, his father was an ordinary-looking farmer, and her mother Asa had never seen before.

Shallow likes to lean against the wooden door alone when a person is fine, and occasionally a few puppies will run in the alley chasing each other and running around, such a quiet and beautiful time. At this moment, Ke Zhen's aunt came over with red and swollen crying, Ke Zhen's aunt was also a beautiful girl, she asked Qianqian: "Qianqian, have you seen Ke Zhen and Ke Ke?" ”

"Nope!" Shallow shook his head. "What's wrong, Auntie?" I don't understand why Ke Zhen's aunt is crying like this.

"Ke Zhen's mother passed away last night!"

"Huh?" She was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't believe what had happened.

Ke Zhen's aunt continued: "I can't let the two of them know for the time being, I'm going to take them to live with me. She said and continued to walk forward, she was going to Ke Zhen's house to have a look, and then she was going to Ke Zhen's uncle's house to look for it. Ke Zhen's uncle's family lives in Xiaoshiqiao, and Ke Zhen's grandmother usually stays at his youngest son's house to take care of her grandson, who has just reached the end of the moon. If Ke Zhen and Ke Ke are not at home, they may go to Uncle's house.

Looking at Aunt Ke Zhen's back and suddenly her eyes were wet, she was very sad, she couldn't accept the news of Ke Zhen's mother's sudden death, although this aunt was often not at home, but she liked Ke Zhen's mother very much, how could she say that she passed away when she died?

Shallow turned around and went back to her home, she was sad, this was the first time she had experienced a person so familiar suddenly leaving this world quietly on such a day. One morning, about two or three days later, Qianqian was standing in the yard to wash, and heard the crying outside, she opened the door and walked outside the door to see, it was several uncles and aunts of Ke Zhen's family, they were carrying a simple coffin made of wooden boards, this coffin was twenty centimeters wide and more than one meter long, this should be Ke Zhen's mother's coffin, Qianqian thought about closing his own family. Among these funeral crowds, there were no Ke Zhen and Ke Ke, they were all from Ke Zhen's mother's family, probably because they didn't want the two children to be stimulated.

In the next half month, Qianqian never saw Ke Zhen and Ke Ke again. Later, Qianqian occasionally met Ke Zhen's aunt at the door, and her aunt asked as soon as she saw Qianqian: "Have you seen Ke Zhen and Ke Ke?" ”

"I haven't seen it, I don't know where they went."

"Auntie, didn't you go to Ke Zhen's grandmother's house to have a look?" Ask.

"I went, they didn't let me see me, and they tore up and quarreled with me!" Ke Zhen's aunt said: "I want to take them away and take care of them personally, I don't worry about the two of them." ”

It seems that the two of them have begun to fight for the custody of Ke Zhen and Ke Ke, shallow thought to himself.

One day later, she got up very early to go to school, and she accidentally found a little girl in front of a farmer's house at the bridge head of the stone bridge was fetching water for cooking.

"Shallow!" The little girl stood up and stopped herself. Shallow turned around and found that it was Ke Zhen who called him, and said in surprise: "Ke Zhen, why are you here." ”

"My mother died, and my uncle took the two of us over." Ke Zhen replied with a smile, she didn't look sad at all, maybe she was too young, she thought shallowly.

"Why don't you go to your grandmother's house?" Ask.

"This is my grandmother's house, and my grandmother is here to take care of my uncle's children." Ke Zhen still had a smile on his face.

"What about your brother?"

"He's in the yard!"

"Why do they tell you to cook? Are you still so young? What about your grandmother? Looking at Ke Zhen, who had just lost his mother, he was really angry, when Ke Zhen's mother was alive, the two little guys came to stretch out their hands to eat all day long, but they had become a call girl for a long time.

"My aunt asked me to do it." Ke Zhen disagreed.

"Oh!" After hearing goodbye, Ke Zhen walked silently towards the school. She couldn't figure out why Ke Zhen's mother died suddenly, she looked back at Ke Zhen's uncle's house, this farmer family had to pass by several times every day, but she didn't expect this to be Ke Zhen's uncle's house. Shallow knew that the male owner of this peasant family was a well-known ruffian, and it was surprising that this ruffian was actually a person who supported the elderly and was in charge.

She stumbled upon a tall stack of wheat straw near the river in their house, and wondered how they had crossed the riverbank and piled it up.

On a Sunday morning, while sitting at home with her sister doing her homework, she overheard an adult talking outside, and a woman said, "Do you know how Ke Zhen's mother died?" ”

"Yes, yes." Another woman replied, "This matter has spread, his mother was fooling around on the second floor of a hotel in Huaze County at night, and was blocked by the anti-pornography brigade, and then her mother jumped from the second floor and fell to her death when she had nowhere to escape." ”

"Why did you fall to your death? Don't you feel weird? ”

"I think so too!"

"Anyway, that's the official answer!"

It turned out that Ke Zhen's mother fell to her death, and she felt sad for a while when she thought about it.

About a month later, on a sunny morning, while Qianqian was standing outside the door eating breakfast, a tractor rumbled and whistled past him, after which the two cars stopped at the door of Ke Zhen's house. Immediately after that, an honest middle-aged man and a silly peasant woman came down from the tractor, and a handsome boy and a beautiful girl. Has Ke Zhen's house been rented out, shallow thought to himself.

After the family got out of the car, they moved their belongings in a hurry. The peasant woman of this family looked stupid, and when she saw Qianqian, she turned her head to look at her and smirked, but her appearance was extremely upright and beautiful, and her complexion was quite fair, and she knew at a glance that they should have come from the mountains.

A few days after they moved in, Ke Zhen and Ke Ke also came back to live. As soon as Ke Zhen came back, he knocked on the door of Qianqian's house with Ke Ke, and Qianqian was very surprised and asked the two of them: "Didn't you live at your uncle's house, why, did you miss us and came back so far?" ”

"No, we'll come back." Ke Zhen said excitedly: "My mother is not dead, and there is no one at home to take care of us, so the adults discussed letting my uncle's family move into my house to take care of the two of us." ”

"Oh!" Everything is understood.

"Is your aunt sick?" Qianqian couldn't understand why the peasant woman always grinned at herself every time she passed by Ke Zhen's door.

"She's a fool!" Ke Zhen was blunt.

"My cousin and cousin are here, and they're very nice to me and Koko!"

"Well, I can see that they are very sincere." She was also very happy to hear it, she thought that she should be relieved to have such a family to take care of Ke Zhen and Ke Ke herself. It's just that she was a little worried about how the mentally handicapped peasant woman would cook for the two of them. Whatever, these are other people's affairs after all, as long as Ke Zhen and Ke Ke don't stay in their shrewd aunt's house, they won't be prematurely reduced to servants. Thinking about looking at the Ke Ke who was as big as her brother, her heart was full of sympathy, although she used to dislike this naughty little boy very much, but from now on she would take care of them both like an older sister. At this time, Ke Ke was standing on the stone slab with a smile on his face, and there was no sadness on the little guy's face for the death of his mother.
