After the county magistrate listened to my words, his face was like the weather, changing and changing, and I was similar to him, and I was very shocked, how could such a strange thing happen? The dreams of the two of us turned out to be the same, but the characters were reversed.

The prefectural magistrate asked, "How can this be?" ”

"I know a yarn, don't worry about it for now, there must be a problem anyway." I paused, and continued, "Let's go with me to someone else's house and wash up first." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." The county magistrate picked up his schoolbag, packed it and walked out the door with me.

As soon as I went out of the county order, I stretched my waist and said that the air quality was really high, and I laughed and said, "That's a must, and I don't look at whose hometown it is." ”

We walked out of the door, and walked next door, the whole village of my hometown is next to each other, and the people in the whole village are said to be an old ancestor, except for the men who came from the outside, the men and children here are all surnamed Huang, without exception.

There are more than 30 houses in the village, and now there may be more than 20 families left at home, and most of the people who stay at home are some old people, young people and children have gone out to work or study.

I heard my mother say that my father just wanted to improve the current situation in his hometown one day, so he went to join the army, hoping that one day he could use the power of the state to help here, after all, this place is really similar to what my mother said, poor mountains and bad waters, the village is better, the outside of the village is surrounded by mountains, if you are not careful, you will sprain, or fall.

My dad told me that my mom and he are well known here, and many people take them as their goal of study, so even if I haven't been back to my hometown for nearly ten years, I don't worry that others don't know me.

Next door to our house is a courtyard situation to build a brick house, the door is two wooden doors, the door is pasted with couplets, the door is pasted with the door god, this is Huang Ergong's home, remember when I was a child, he was very good to me, I and the county order came to the door and began to knock gently.

"Who?" A man's voice came from inside. After a while, he came to the door, but instead of opening the door, he continued to ask, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

I think it's a little strange, my mother often says that although my hometown is a little poor, but the people are simple and very hospitable, but this is obviously a little different from what my mother said, my mother will not lie to me, maybe after so many years. The folk customs have changed.

"Second Gong, I'm Xiaolong, don't you remember?" I'm still a little worried that he hasn't come back for the past ten years, and his memory has deteriorated, so I quickly added a sentence and said, "Huang Jianming's son, do you remember?" This is my classmate, named Chen Xianling, let's come back to have fun this time. ”

After hearing this, my second duke suddenly realized, patted his knee heavily, and hurriedly opened the door from the inside, and said while opening the door: "It turned out to be Xiaolong, why don't you call in advance if you want to come back, the second duke hasn't seen you for so many years, but I miss you." ”

said that the door had been opened, and when he saw me, he sighed: "You have grown so tall, it seems that you were still that six or seven year old baby yesterday, it's been almost ten years, come in quickly, don't stand at the door." ”

"Thank you, Ergong." The county order is very good at etiquette, so he doesn't need me to teach him at all, and when he walks in the door, he smiles and follows me to call the second duke.

I scratched my head and said, "Thank you, second father-in-law, hey, what about the second mother-in-law?" , not at home? ”

The second father-in-law said kindly: "Good boy, the second mother-in-law is cooking in it, and it just so happens that you haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and go in and eat together." Did you come back this morning? So early, did you get hurt walking on the mountain road? "The second prince took us all the way inside, all the way to the cold and asked for warmth, to say that the old man is like this, once he asks a question, he can't stop.

There are still a few black and thin pheasants in the yard at the door that keep pecking rice, and I vaguely hear a pig crying, it seems that the second father's family has a lot of domestic animals and game.

I took out a piece of milk from my school bag, handed it to my second father, and said, "My classmate and I arrived last night, but because it was dark, I was afraid of disturbing you and my second wife, so I didn't come, and set up a tent in our old house and went to sleep." ”

The second prince took my milk and didn't refuse, he knew that I bought it for him, and it was useless to refuse, his face was kind, but his tone was a little angry and said: "You are still afraid of disturbing the second father, you forgot to pee on the second father's head when you were a child?" You little, I'm going to be angry next time I do this. Since I came back to play, I lived in the second father's house, and the second father's food and accommodation were all inclusive. ”

"Then thank you Ergong, my classmates and I are worried about having no place to live." I scratched my head and said, "By the way, Ergong, you see that my classmate and I slept all night, and we haven't washed up yet, where do you have water, let's go wash first." ”

As we talked, we had arrived at the hall in the middle of the courtyard, which was simply furnished, just an old-fashioned color TV, a table of eight immortals, four high benches, and a few low benches, and nothing else.

The second prince said, "You sit down and wait, and I'll go get you some water right away." ”

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Thank you, Ergong." "It's not like the usual lewd him at all.

After speaking, the second prince went out of the hall, and soon brought out a basin of water, under the eaves at the door of the hall, let us hurry over and wash first, and asked us if we had towels, and I told the county order that there were.

In our bathroom, the second wife also brought the food to the table in the hall and said, "Xiaolong, next time you come back, say hello in advance, you see that we are not prepared, we will eat porridge and vegetables this morning, and I will kill a chicken in a while." ”

"No need for the second wife." I brushed my teeth and couldn't speak clearly, my second mother-in-law didn't hear clearly, so she asked me what I said, I spit out the bubble in my mouth and said again: "No need, you can eat whatever you want, I will be embarrassed to come in the future if you do this." ”

"Nope." The second woman said sternly, "You and your classmates are rare to come once, so it's decided." ”

The second prince smiled next to him and said, "Xiaolong, don't you remember your second mother-in-law's temperament?" Don't argue, what she said won't change. ”

"Okay, then it's going to trouble the second father-in-law and the second mother-in-law." I'm a little embarrassed to say.

After finishing speaking, I continued to wash my face, and after washing, I felt that my whole face was relaxed and cool, and my eyes were bright, so I looked at my second husband and two mothers-in-law carefully.

The air in the mountains is cool, not as hot as in the city, the second prince is wearing a Mao suit, his hair and beard are already white, and his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are still very energetic, his movements are sharp, and his body seems to be good.

The second woman was dressed in a coarse linen dress, but she was not dressed as I remembered. It's a good dress, her hair is whiter, just a little better than the second gong, but the movements don't look as neat as the second gong, relatively speaking, both of them are already over the age of six, and they will be seventy years old in two years.

At the dinner table, I asked the second father and two mothers-in-law, and asked them why they didn't go to Guizhou with the second master (the son of the second father) and the second mother (the wife of the second master), they said that they had been there once, and the air in the city was too bad, and they were reluctant to go home, so they came back, and the second master and second mother would send them money back every month.

The old people are very nostalgic, I understand this very well, I heard my mother say that if my grandmother didn't want to come to Chengdu with them, she wouldn't have died so early, because the village was not open to traffic, and the disease turned over at that time, and there was no urgent treatment, resulting in death. At the beginning, my grandmother was also like the current second father-in-law and second mother-in-law, who were very nostalgic, and they didn't listen to any persuasion.

I just wanted to enlighten the second elder, but the second duke said that I and the county order should not persuade them.

I didn't have anything to say anything to the county magistrate, I ate and ate, and brought the topic to that strange dream, wanting to see if the second father-in-law and the second mother-in-law knew anything, after all, the old man generally believes in these things.

I said, "Second father-in-law, have you had any strange dreams recently, I had the same dream as the county magistrate last night, it's so strange." ”

After the second father-in-law and the second mother-in-law heard me, their hands that were shaving rice paused, and their wrinkled faces immediately became solemn.
