"What do plum blossoms look like?" Halfway through the song, Hu Huihui asked with a cold and reverie face.

    I hurriedly said, "There used to be a plum tree in our house, and my grandmother said that it bloomed on the day I was born. ”

    "Really? When Hu Huihui heard this, she was extremely excited and said, "Will I go to your house to see the plum blossoms in winter?" ”

    " is not good. I shook my head in frustration.

    "Why? Hu Huihui asked.

    " because...... Because two years ago, my father cut down the tree. ”

    Hu Huihui suddenly looked disappointed and asked, "Why did your father cut down the tree?" ”

    " because...... Because my father said that the tree is useless and does not bear fruit, and if I don't get it, I will have to overturn the courtyard wall of my house. ”

    Hu Huihui snorted coldly when she heard this, and said, "Your father is really a loser. ”

    I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your dad is a loser." ”

     And then no one paid attention to anyone.

    Autumn is gone, winter is coming again, in a blink of an eye, the winter vacation is coming, and it is almost the New Year.

    At that time, we were popular here to send New Year's cards, which were the kind of cardboard cards, slightly smaller than textbooks, friends after 70 and 85 years ago may have the impression, not only New Year's cards, but also birthday cards, the front is generally a pair of beautiful pictures, it seems that there are also star photos, at that time, the "Four Heavenly Kings" and "Little Tigers" seem to be very popular, especially what song to "put your heart, my heart, string a string" that, particularly hot.

    The reverse side of the card is in envelope format, there are six small boxes in the upper left corner and the lower right corner, you can write the zip code, in the middle, you can also write the address, blessings, names or something, by the way, there is a place to paste stamps in the upper right corner, and you can mail it directly with stamps. Now this kind of card seems to have disappeared for many years, anyway, I haven't seen it in years, time passes, years change, and that thing is just a memory now.

    At that time, this was very popular among female classmates, sending New Year's cards to each other, however, I found that several male classmates also secretly sent Hu Huihui New Year's cards, and I felt sour when I saw it.

    So, I also bought a New Year's card and secretly sandwiched it in her textbook during recess......

     Think about that time, it's really beautiful, but now, I can't remember how much the New Year's card is, it shouldn't be worth anything, I remember that my dad smoked cigarettes at that time was only two or three cents a box, a New Year's card must not be as expensive as a box of cigarettes, otherwise I can't afford it. Until now, I feel a little remorseful when I think about it, I was too shy at that time, and only the blessing was written on the New Year's card, without a signature, that is, I didn't dare to write my name on it.

    I remember that it was a very beautiful landscape painting, with distant mountains and near water, green grass and blue sky, and the whole thing was like a paradise, which made people feel refreshed and happy. On the back, I wrote the blessing words "big and ugly" with a blue water pen, maybe I didn't dare to sign it, and it had a lot to do with the ugly words I wrote.

     Another blink of an eye, it's really winter vacation, but I am very conflicted at this time, I hope to have a holiday, and I don't want to have a holiday, as soon as I have a holiday, I can play at home every day, but as soon as the holiday is over, I can't see Hu Huihui, and after the school starts, the teacher will rearrange our seats, and we may not be able to share a table with her.

    After the holiday, my brother went to Chen's blind man's house again, and I couldn't see the girl I liked, and I couldn't see my brother, and I became more and more depressed.

    I heard my mother say that a few days after my brother came back from Chen's house last time, Chen Blind was sick and couldn't get up from bed. The doctor said that the blind man was too old and all the organs in his body were failing, so he asked the blind son to prepare for the funeral for the blind man, and the blind son later prepared the coffin, but the blind man got out of bed alive. The doctor said that this was a miracle, but Chen Blind said that it was not a miracle, but someone "borrowed life" from him.

    On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the weather was unusually cold, I remember that every year was very cold when I was a child, and it would rain one or two goose feather heavy snow every year.

    I remember that at that time, it seemed that it had just snowed heavily, and the whole land was covered in snow and white.

    In the afternoon, a person came from the hinterland of the mountains in the north.

    I at this time, I was covering sparrows in our yard with Qiang Shun Ming Army, the snow in the yard was cleaned up in the morning, we sprinkled some steamed bread dregs on a vacant lot, used a large sieve made of bamboo strips, half buckled on the steamed bread slag, and then used a small stick tied to a thin rope to support the edge of the sieve, after doing this, we took the other end of the rope and hid in the house, resting on the window to look out.

     Wait for a while, a sparrow jumped into the sieve and ate the steamed bun dregs, just when we were about to pull the rope to buckle the sparrow, the man appeared at the door, the sparrow flew away with a "flutter", the three of us immediately beat our chests, and complained that the person at the door appeared at the wrong time.

    I leaned the window and looked at the man at the door, he looked like he was in his early forties, the same age as my father, dressed in patches and patches, Qiang Shun and I had enough patches on our bodies, and he had more on him than we all combined, a face was dark and thin, with a scruffy beard, and he looked very raw, not like our local.

    The man didn't know that he had scared away our sparrows, and shouted at the door, "Is there anyone at home?" ”

    I pulled the rope in my hand, and the big sieve "plopped" to the ground, startling the man. Then, I pushed open the door and walked out, and asked, "Our adults are not at home, who are you looking for?" ”

    The man looked at me and said, "I'm looking for ...... I'm looking for the White Fairy Gu. ”

    I tilted my head and said, "You're looking for my grandma, my grandma has gone out to hang out." ”

    The man hurriedly said, "Then can you call her back?" I'm in a hurry with her. ”

    "What is the urgency of looking for my grandma?" I asked.

    The man lowered his head, as if he didn't want to say anything more to my little hairy boy, and after a while, he said, "Go and call your grandma back, I have to tell her face to face." ”

    Qiang Shun and Ming Jun also came out of the house at this time, I turned my head and said to them: "You wait for me for a while, I'll go and call my grandmother back." ”

    After speaking, I walked out of the house, and the person actually stood at the door honestly and didn't go into the house.

    After a while, I called my grandmother back, and I knew where my grandmother often visited the house, and it was not difficult to find her.

    At this time, the man was still standing at the door, maybe the patched clothes on his body did not cover the cold very much, and the whole person was trembling.

    Grandma walked to him with me, he looked my grandma up and down, and asked, "Auntie, you are Bai Xiangu, right?" ”

    Grandma smiled and said, "That's me, don't stand outside, go and sit inside." ”

    The man followed my grandmother into the hall, I didn't follow in, and Qiang Shun Mingjun played in the yard again, still covered with sparrows, this time we all hid in the east house.

    About half an hour later, the sparrow didn't cover it, but grandma and the man came out of the hall one after another, and grandma stood in the yard with my name.

    I hurriedly came out of the East House, and my grandmother said, "Yellow River, stop playing, go to the mountains with my grandmother." ”

    Hearing what my grandmother said, I knew what my grandmother wanted me to do in the mountains with her.

    Speaking of which, by the way, don't think that I always come to my holiday, it's not like that, in fact, someone comes to my grandmother every once in a while, but because I was in school at the time, my grandmother didn't ask me to follow her, and when I was on vacation, as long as there was something, I was indispensable every time.

    At this time, Qiang Shun heard that he was going to follow him alive and dead, I looked, how could this bear child have a virtue with his great-grandfather Wang Grass Carp, I want my grandfather to enter the mountain, Wang Grass Carp is also dead and alive to follow.

    You see that Wang Grass Carp is Wang Qiangshun's great-grandfather, maybe very surprised, don't be surprised, Wang Grass Carp is indeed Wang Qiangshun's great-grandfather, our family to me, a total of five generations, Qiangshun family has gone through a total of seven generations, my great-grandfather and Wang Grass Carp's grandfather Wang Boss is a generation, my grandfather and Wang Boss's son Wang Dahe is a generation, but my grandfather's age is similar to Wang Dahe's son Wang Grass Carp, it stands to reason that my grandfather and Wang Grass Carp are a generation, Counting down, Wang Caoyu's son Wang Shicheng, is the same generation as my father, Wang Shicheng's son is Wang Xiaoshun, Wang Xiaoshun is Wang Sihe below, Wang Sihe is below, Wang Qiangshun is Wang Qiangshun, I am the same generation as Wang Xiaoshun, if it is according to generation, Qiangshun should call me grandpa.

    My grandmother, the degree of pain Qiangshun is not inferior to that of me and my brother, seeing that Qiangshun is alive and dead, my grandmother said: "It's okay, you can be a companion with the Yellow River, we may have to spend the night in the mountains today." ”

    Ming Jun saw that he was going to go, I told him: "There are wolves in the mountains, specializing in eating squatting students, and when Ming Jun heard this, he turned around and ran away." ”

    The person who came to my grandmother was still in a hurry, urging my grandmother to go into the mountain with him, and my grandmother smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you have to pack some things before leaving." ”

    Grandma went back to the house to pack up some things, and then went to Qiangshun's house to talk to her aunt, saying that she was taking Qiangshun into the mountains to play, and said that when my parents came back, I would tell my parents, and my aunt nodded and agreed. Then we followed the man out of the house and headed north into the mountains.

    On the road, I jumped with Qiang Shun, very happy, this is the first time we went to the mountains, we are very excited, I like the mystery in the mountains, yearning to explore and hunt inside.

    The book is short, and soon, we entered the mountain, at this time the mountain is covered with snow, perhaps it is a psychological effect, I feel that the snow on the mountain is thicker and whiter than the snow under our mountain, and it is creaking to step on it, which is particularly enjoyable.

    After walking for a long time, a building appeared in a col in front of me, and when I saw it, it was a very dilapidated house, one in the east and one in the west, so I asked my grandmother: "Grandma, are we here?" ”

    Grandma said, "It's still far away, that's where your dad worked when he was young." ”

    "Rose Spring? "I looked at the building, but I couldn't find the spring that my dad had dug in the past.

    Grandma said, "This is not the Rose Spring, this is where your father used to live, and the Rose Spring is still in front of it." ”

    I looked at those buildings, there are two houses, and there is a deep ditch between them, these two houses should be the houses where my father and Ru Zhenzhen lived, right? The two of them were facing each other across a deep ditch in front of these two houses, right? Who would have thought that a few decades later, this place would be deserted and dilapidated, and it would have long since passed in time, and things were different from people.

    We walked forward along the mountain road for about a mile, and there was a big deep pit next to the mountain road. Grandma said this is the Rose Spring.

    I take a look, it is a circular deep pit, the diameter can be about ten meters, look down, at least five or six floors as high, there is a circle of downward spiral steps attached to the pit wall, it is a stone step excavated with the help of the stone wall, look at this scale, the amount of work is extremely huge. However, by this time, the inside had long since dried up and was desolate.

    I looked at it and said, "This is where my dad killed the dragon." ”

    Grandma nodded, at this time, the person and Qiang Shun looked at my grandma at the same time, especially the person, and immediately showed an indescribable surprise on his face, and asked, "Bai Xiangu, has your son killed the dragon?" ”

    Grandma smiled, nodded again, and said, "They all say that a dragon, in my opinion, is a water snake that has not become a climate." ”

    "Then how did my dad beat the dead dragon?" I asked again, and the man and Qiang Shun were also curious.

    Grandma looked at me and said, "Didn't I tell you about it in the past?" ”

    I said, "Qiang Shun and this big haven't heard of it, you tell them to listen to it again." ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Bai Xiangu, I heard that the people in your family are all amazing, so you can tell us about it." ”

    Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, it's still a long way to go anyway, and it's boring, so I'll tell you about it......"
