In a certain family in a village, a couple is talking about something,

Xia Chuyang: "I need a small hoe to go to the field in the afternoon."

Qian Hailun: "I just broke up, and I haven't got a lot of things yet, so I'll pick it up later."

Xia Qianye, who was smart when he heard it on the side, went to the clansman's house to borrow it.

In their village, there are not many people with that surname, I heard the elders say that the grandmother moved from other places with her son, originally they lived a very good and beautiful life in the field, and they were a big family of officials, but later because of the accident after the death of their husbands, the people there did not take care of them, so they moved here to settle down, and they lived a more difficult time at that time.

The fact is always like this, people are helpless, when you are having a good time, the people next to you are close to you, please you, and try their best to climb all kinds of relationships with you, when you are shabby, they think you are a trouble, for fear of having something to do with you.

As soon as Chiba entered the door of a clan's house, he asked, "Is anyone home?" ”

Grandpa Xia Zixing heard his voice and got up from the stool next to the fire to greet him, "It's Chiba, come and play with Long Jin."

"No, my mother said that I might need a small hoe to go to the field today, let me borrow it, grandpa, do you want to use it today?" Grandpa went down from the closet and handed it to him, "Remember to come back then." ”

"yes, okay."

At that time, when the people in the village met him with his parents, they often praised him for being lively and cute, and he was quite active and talkative.

When he was five and a half years old, because his parents rarely went to his grandmother's house, and he felt that his grandmother was very good to him, he walked alone on a mountain road of more than 7 miles to be a guest. On the way, he passed through several woodlands and climbed several mountains, and when he passed by a certain village, a middle-aged woman standing at the edge of the field greeted him, "Child, where are you going?"

He replied, "I'm going to be a guest at a relative's house."

The middle-aged woman teased, "Then come to our house to sit and have a meal, we are also relatives." ”

The strange thing is that he thought about it for a little time and actually agreed. I really went to sit and eat,

She asked, "Which relative's house are you visiting?" ”

While eating, he pointed in the direction of his uncle's house, because he didn't know the names of his uncle and grandmother.

After eating, he went back on his way.

Children are very simple, what others say to him, he believes it, even if he receives a reminder from others not to believe it, and then explains a sentence or two, he believes it again, just like the One Piece 641 words of the Don Tata Lilliputian, it is very easy to deceive, sometimes deceive them out of good intentions, and he feels funny; What he said, what he did, he didn't think about so many interests, what he thought and said, and he didn't need to think about which mask to put on and who to face, maybe it was because of these two attributes that they lived so easily and happily. A person, no matter how prosperous he will be in the future, cannot replace the joy of childhood, which is the happiest stage of a person's life.

At the end of the age of five, he was in the first grade in the village, and after school and on weekends, he was in charge of herding cattle, from 6 to 9:30 in the morning, and then went to class after 9 o'clock, even after school. Once, when he drove the ox deep into the mountains, it was almost evening, and the ox could not find a way down the mountain, and on the mountain he wept a lot, and his father, who was working on another mountain, heard the crying and came to help him.

He often played with his friends in the village, and many small games were played when he was herding cattle, and also played at home or in the yard, such as climbing trees, catching birds' nests, raising birds, catching locusts, picking mushrooms, fighting spiders, fighting crickets, playing all kinds of stone chess (drawing a chessboard on the stone surface with stones and then playing chess with leaves, branches or stones), playing poker, playing cardboard, catching hares, hide and seek, burning honeycomb, burning charcoal, hitting sickles, folding airplanes, fighting plants (a plant that can pull each other, see whose severed head and who loses), picking wild fruits, digging loaches, Digging for yellow eels, picking up shells, fishing for frogs, roasting tomatoes, roasting corn, whipping and hitting wooden cones (like spinning tops, made of wood, driven by a whip made of tree bark), etc., are very fun, very happy, carefree, no worries, no worries.

There is no happiest time in a person's life than in childhood, and children who have been abandoned by their parents in childhood are quite unfortunate, although this seems to be necessary for modern rural life.

One of the most interesting things is climbing a tree to get the birds from the nest and raising them, and the fight with the crows in the trees is very exciting.
