………………………………… I don't know why, the tree value of Pingzhai is better than other places, especially bamboo, mainly bamboo, therefore, the sale of bamboo and some bamboo products has become an important economic source for Pingzhai people. I don't know why, the tree value of Pingzhai is better than other places, especially bamboo, mainly bamboo, therefore, the sale of bamboo and some bamboo products has become an important economic source for Pingzhai people.

As soon as my mother and I arrived at the intersection of the village, we saw the riverside of the village, in front of the roadside house, clumps of green bamboos growing beautifully and upright.

My mother took me along the main road, and after walking for about five or six minutes, I saw a piece of bamboo, which was about to grow to the side of the road.

This bamboo forest grows crazy, like a lawless posture, and it looks dense. The sunlight outside passed through the slender bamboo body, dripping green bamboo leaves, and only a few bits of fire-like light fell to the ground.

In the middle of this bamboo forest, there is a small road, the road is paved with yellow leaves, only the intersection can see the sun falling on the withered yellow bamboo leaves, shining like broken silver, but further inside, you can only see the gradually deeper black hole.

"When I arrived, my aunt's house went in here." Mom said to me suddenly, and put all the fruits in her hand, high-calcium walnuts, into one hand, and freed one hand to reach over and take my hand.

Is this it? I'm not impressed.

I don't know why, but when I stepped into this bamboo forest for the first time, looking at this bamboo forest, I suddenly felt as if we were in the wrong place.

In my memory, it doesn't seem to resemble the bamboo forest I used to play with my cousin in my childhood.

The bamboo forest was not small, and the bamboo was also tall and straight, but I clearly remember that the sunlight could easily pass through the bamboo leaves and fall on my cousin and me, who were walking among the bamboo trees.

I remember that at that time, even in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, people seemed to be standing in the sunshine without fear.

But now this bamboo forest, it seems to be bigger, deeper, more lonely, here, the sunlight can't enter, the people outside can't get in, and the world in the bamboo forest seems to be isolated from the outside.

If the original bamboo forest has a sense of otherworldliness, then the current bamboo forest has a sense of horror that is deep and dangerous.

After walking for a short distance, there was a piece of black pressure inside, and you had to be careful and careful when walking, and my mother suddenly sighed and said: "This bamboo grows just fast, I haven't been here for a year, how do I feel that your uncle's bamboo forest has grown a lot denser, I almost couldn't recognize it just now." ”

It turned out that my mother also felt this way. I thought I hadn't been here for years, and it was normal to have differences.

Although it was already autumn at this time, the temperature outside still carried the heat of midsummer. In the bamboo forest, because of the thick bamboo leaves on the path, the feet are loose and soft on it, and the sense of stability of the ground has been lost.

I remember that on the ground of the bamboo forest, my aunt would clean up every once in a while, and there would be no leaves in the bamboo forest at all.

Probably the old people are also old, and they can't clean it up, so they don't care, but it's better not to clean it up, so that they can wait until they rot and then become fertilizer for the bamboo forest, which is a good destination.

In addition to the thick fallen leaves on the ground, there are also insects and birds singing one after another in the bamboo forest. But as my mother and I walked, I stepped on the thick bamboo leaves that had been piled up, and suddenly I thought of a possibility......

"Mom, the leaves here are so thick, will there be snakes in them? I've heard that there are often poisonous snakes like bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest. ”

It was also this time that I remembered that my aunt had said that it was because she was worried that she would attract snakes after the accumulation of fallen leaves in the bamboo forest, so no matter how hard she worked, she still insisted on cleaning up the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest.

"Where are there so many venomous old snakes, I have lived for decades, and I have not seen a few times, I have heard the elders talk about our place, although there are many old snakes, but most of them are not poisonous." Mom replied to me.

At this moment, the end of the path in the bamboo forest could be vaguely seen.

A large tiled house stands upright on the outside, this tiled house is completely symmetrical, with houses on both sides and a hall in the middle, which is used to worship the statue of the Bodhisattva. The smallest room at the back of the hall is generally used to store grain and make a granary, but if there is a large family, the room behind the hall will become the home of the old family.

At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a low wall half a person high, which seems to be made of broken stones, which is the fence used by the villagers to enclose the yard.

Speaking of this, I really have to sigh, the countryside is really lacking in nothing and not lack of land, take Pingzhai as an example, here is almost every household, can circle a big yard, there are all kinds of poultry nests next to the yard, and in addition to these, people can also get a vegetable garden next to the yard, and on the other side of the yard, there can also be a small bamboo forest, or a small orchard or something.

Although my mother and I had not yet approached the courtyard, we had already heard the sound of someone talking in front of us, and then we could vaguely see two voices in the courtyard, one sitting on a high bench with his back bent, and the other not knowing what he was busy doing, standing in front of the sitting person dancing and dancing at all.

I can't help but guess curiously about the identities of the two people in this courtyard, I remember, my aunt is smaller than my uncle, but her back is straight, and the whole person is like those bamboos in the bamboo forest. So the person sitting on the bench is definitely not an uncle.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

And my uncle, he doesn't seem to be tall, and he can't stand up straight in the early years, so it can be inferred that the ** out of ten people who are doing it are my uncle, but who is the person standing?

But this doesn't matter, anyway, it's okay if the elders are at home, and everything else has nothing to do with us.

After seeing the figure, my mother pulled me and I unconsciously quickened my steps and walked over.

When we were about to walk to the courtyard, the two people in the courtyard seemed to notice something, stopped their previous movements, and suddenly looked at each other.

In the courtyard, it was really my uncle who was sitting on the high bench, and the person standing opposite him, I seemed to have some impressions, as if I had seen it a few times before, and I really didn't remember it very much.

While I was still wondering, my uncle stood up and shouted as he walked towards us, "O third daughter-in-law! Why did you bring a little girl? ”

Mom hurriedly replied with a smile: "Little girl, this is Ning Qiao, our little Niannian." In the past few years, I went out to study, but I didn't come back, and many people didn't recognize her when she came back, so they said that I wanted her to take her to my uncle's house to see you. ”

"Oh, Xiao Niannian, it's still so beautiful, my uncle hasn't seen you for a few years." After that, the uncle turned around and shouted into the courtyard and said, "Dabao, help me go in and tell your aunt that the third family has seen us two and tell her to come out to meet people." ”

"Dabao?" I muttered in confusion......

"Mom! You sit down and rest, and I'll wash the dishes. ”

I had expected that when I was talking to my mother like this, she didn't want to pay attention to me at all, and even looked a little angry with me, but just as she was about to ask me to transfer the war against Ning Yu to me, I didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued:

"Because of the previous recuperation, I haven't been home for a few years, and I was not very old when I left home, which caused a lot of things and people to forget, I didn't understand what you said just now, so who is Fu Dabao? Why do you disgrace him when you talk about it? ”

Sure enough, as soon as my mother heard me mention that I had been away from home for more than four years and that my life and death were uncertain outside, there was immediately a trace of distress and guilt on my face, and all the anger just now was extinguished.

Although most of the time, most of the people who pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic seem to be, but if it is for the benefit of usage, if it is not for any benefit, why can't it be used?

At least the current situation is much better than the tense situation just now, not to mention, distress is not as hurtful as anger.

I just heard my mother say: "You can take leave tomorrow, you haven't been at home for several years, come back to see and walk, nothing is better than you coming back and being happy." You don't care about the dishes, it's not a big deal, I'm washing all the time, so you don't have to get these things, so as not to get your clothes dirty...... This dress was prepared for you by the one on the mountain! ”

As my mother spoke, her mood suddenly became a little low.

yes, how can you not be depressed? Although I have not yet become a mother, but I can also understand her loss, I was pregnant in October, I finally gave birth, and raised a girl for 11 years, I had to give it to others, I should have been the closest mother and daughter, but this difference is more than four years, it seems that now, even her food, clothing, housing and transportation, it seems that it is difficult for me to participate.

Why does a piece of meat that fell from his body now have the feeling of a guest, the child was dead at the beginning, and now it has become a grave, after that while. I'm afraid she won't be so sad in her heart.

But think about it, as long as she lives well, what does it matter if she is a guest or not, anyway, the child will have to leave home sooner or later and live his own life, this child is just earlier, she doesn't disown her parents, Cheng Shu comforted herself like this in her heart.

Knowing that my mother had a knot, I only nodded slightly, and then shifted the topic to He Dabao just now and continued to ask: "Mom, you haven't told me who He Dabao is." ”

Mom listened to me ask He Dabao confidently, snorted softly, smiled and said, "Hehe! You said you forgot a lot of things, but this stubborn temper hasn't changed at all, and it's still the same as before. ”

I smiled and narrowed, didn't speak, still looking at my mother.

Only then did my mother say, "What a treasure you asked! It's a Pingzhai person, do you remember your Pingzhai aunt? He lives next to your aunt's house, and the two yards are next to each other......"

When my mother asked about my aunt, I nodded vigorously, because the aunt my mother said happened to be what I remembered.

The aunt is not young, there are no relatives in the family, the only son died of illness in the early years, and then the daughter-in-law remarried, leaving only a little grandson and the uncle and uncle to live together, the two old in order to take good care of the little grandson, but more hard than most young people, planting a lot of land, raising a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and other poultry, all year round, the family's income is all pointed to these livestock.

But what I remember most about this aunt is not these things, but the gentleness and kindness of the old man who is always smiling, as if no matter how much suffering and pressure, pain, anxiety, and sadness outside...... None of these emotions can enter the small courtyard of my aunt's and uncle's house.

In my memory, in front of my uncle's big yard, there was a large bamboo forest, and there was a path in the middle of the bamboo forest.

Here recalls the past about my uncle and uncle, and my mother over there is still continuing to preach: "This He Dabao, he is older than me, listen to your father, he heard about it when he was young, but there are many people who spoil boys, but it is rare to spoil He Dabao's family."

At that time, the He family will have one son, He Dabao, and the other two are girls, which are different from the five or six brothers in your father's family.

said that He Dabao's parents educated the two little girls in the family at that time, and you have to let your brother go.

Most of the names given by adults in our years were not cultured, and names like He Dabao could be seen at a glance,"
