It has been said that fondness for memories is a sign that a person is getting older. Maybe this is indeed the case, Liu Xiangqian was lying on the Teng chair, and the kung fu tea next to him was gone.

He was always a bit neurotic, especially for the ringing of the phone, which later expanded to the alarm clock and even the sound of the bell and bugle in the square outside the house.

As a former soldier, he is ashamed, is a soldier who can't listen to the military horn still a soldier? It's all that phone call.

At that time, he was demobilized and assigned to a chemical plant in the city. Just married, high-spirited, and single-mindedly thinking about doing a good job.

Although he has an iron rice bowl, Liu Xiangqian still met Huiqin through introduction. It seemed that no union was complete without a matchmaker, he thought.

Two twisted braids, black and thick, neatly placed on both sides of the neck. The skin is not very white, but it has a sense of health that is different from that of the countrymen.

Vitality, yes, is vitality, especially a pair of big eyes, it may be this pair of big eyes that are not born that conquer themselves.

It is really fate, just one meeting, and it is also Liu Xiangqian's only blind date, and the two are eye-to-eye. Liu Xiangqian naturally didn't say anything, not to mention the uprightness, just a green military uniform is enough to convince people.

In the words of the old man, this baby is righteous and kind, and can be trusted.

A smile crept up the corners of his mouth, and he still remembered that on the day of his wedding, he was stupidly wearing a military uniform, riding a gray donkey, and a big red flower on his neck, how he looked like red sorghum.

There are not many bride prices, and there are no gold and silver jewelry, the only thing that is more is people.

Because the old Liu family is very popular in the village, most of them have received the favor of the old Liu family, especially since Liu Xiangqian worked, after all, more than a dozen yuan per month was a large amount at that time.

So a group of people set off in a majestic manner, and picked up the people in a mighty way, and when everyone left, the old man found that the wooden fence had been squeezed to pieces, and his face was full of ravines and smiling folds.

The old Liu family's house is very old, Liu Xiangqian has two brothers and a sister, the eldest was passed on to a relative in the neighboring village, and the elder sister has long been married.

The second child is also married, and one of the three rooms is just left for Liu Xiangqian.

The old man likes boys, the second child gave birth to three girls in a row, and on the night of Liu Xiangqian's wedding, the old man patted him on the shoulder seriously, and said: There are three unfilial pieties.

On the second day of marriage, Liu Xiangqian went to work in the city, and the whole family still counted on his salary.

Huiqin has an errand in the town's health office, selling medicines, giving injections, and occasionally going to the county for a few days for training, and her life is dull and comfortable.

Every Saturday, Liu Xiangqian takes the car back to the village, and when he comes back, he first goes to fetch water, and fills the water of the three families.

Two months later, after the discussion of the whole family and the old man's decision, Liu Xiangqian decided to buy a 28 bicycle.

The city is more than 100 miles away from the village, and it is a relatively large expense to always take the car back.

So Liu Xiangqian rode off on Friday afternoon, walked halfway, drank a cup of crushed tea at the tea stall for a penny, was reluctant to get good tea, and then continued to hurry.

When I get home, it is usually more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Huiqin will prepare washing water, towels and dried chrysanthemum tea early, and most importantly, a bowl of hand-rolled noodles and a lump of garlic.

Every time Huiqin looked at Liu Xiangqian, snoring and plucking noodles into her mouth, always smiling and saying that he was like an animal, Liu Xiangqian would always say, is there such a straight animal?

In the second year, Liu Xiangqian approved a piece of land at the entrance of the village and decided to build a few houses by himself, because his son was about to be born.

Usually thrifty and frugal, Huiqin never bought new clothes during the New Year, saved some money, and borrowed some from the factory leaders to start work.

There is no renovation team, no architects, all on their own.

First lay the foundation, a stick and a big stone are enough, when sweating like rain, Huiqin always looks at him under the lamp on the side and laughs, his hands are not idle, one hand supports his stomach, and the other hand holds a water pipe to pour water on the bricks he pulls.

That should be the happiest moment in my life, the corners of Liu Xiangqian's mouth cracked wider, and his body swayed back and forth with the rocking chair.

After Liu Hai was born, it should be Liu Jianguo, this is still the old man who thought about it for several days, by the way, the son of the second family, who was also born this year, is called Liu Weiguo, anyway, he is in love with the country.

Huiqin has to go to work in the next village every day to see her children, and there are usually people from the village who come to the house, just to let them get injections or buy medicine to see a doctor.

No one drives the child, which is also the main reason why Huiqin is determined to build a house by herself, and there is no one to help her raise the whole family every month, which is cold, and Liu Xiangqian can't count on it.

When Liu Jianguo was two years old, a foreign daughter-in-law came to the village, named Wang Xiaoqing, who was very handsome, because she lived in the mountains, the village's bachelor Li spent 2,000 yuan to take her down the mountain.

How do you know if you are blessed to marry or not, the bachelor will never come back because of drinking on the night of the wedding, although her in-laws always say that she is a nemesis, she has to send her in-laws to the end smoothly.

Once I went to Huiqin's house to see a doctor, the two sisters hit it off at first sight, Huiqin was usually not at home, Wang Xiaoqing helped to see Liu Jianguo, Huiqin said many times that she would remarry, Wang Xiaoqing always joked that I am a nemesis, no one dares to marry me.

That week, Huiqin put on white clothes as usual, carried a medical kit, and went to find Wang Xiaoqing with Liu Jianguo, who was asleep.

"Xiaoqing, the founding of the country will be handed over to you, I may come back later today, and I will go to the county for training."

"Sister, don't worry, there is me."

"Well, don't worry, by the way, Jianguo's father is coming back, you let him eat some by himself, I have already rolled out the noodles."

"Brother-in-law is really happy to have you, if I marry my brother-in-law like this, I will be content for the rest of my life."

"There will be," Huiqin waved her hand, leaving a white back.

At noon, a jeep came to the village, and the children looked curiously around the stopped jeep, and a little soldier got down from it.

"Where is Liu Laosan's house?" He roared in a rough voice.

Wang Xiaoqing just put Liu Jianguo to sleep, picked up the child angrily, and saw the car and people when she went out.

"Yelling what? Who are you looking for? ”

"Where is Liu Laosan's house?" The little warrior had no intention of lowering the volume.

"That's it, but he's not at home."

"Go and find it, there's something going on in his house."

Wang Xiaoqing sat on the ground with the child in her arms, got up in the middle of the night, and asked weakly: "Is there still anyone saved?" ”

The warrior waved his hand, "Find someone quickly, it's too late." ”

Waiting for the car to come to the town, Wang Xiaoqing dialed the number that was inquired about, and after waiting for a while, Liu Xiangqian's familiar voice came.

Wang Xiaoqing only said a few words: "Come back soon, my sister has an accident." Then she couldn't stop crying.

Liu Xiangqian knew that he couldn't delay, so he hung up the phone without saying a word and rushed out of the factory gate, ignoring the stunned face of the doorman.
