The New Year has finally passed, and Zou Shun doesn't know why he uses the word "finally", is it because he doesn't want to stay with his parents? Is it because my brother didn't come home for the New Year? Or is it because you miss that group of people? Maybe there is a little bit, since my brother went out to work, the family has been a lot more deserted, my brother used to be at home, like a child king, and the friends around him like to gather around Zou Shun's house.

My brother loves to play and can play, and often invents a lot of novel and fun games, find a pocket to put on the bud valley, and hang it from the upper floor to become a simple sandbag; Or put a rope down from the upper floor, tie a knot, put a coat on the rope, a simple swing was made, and once he also invented a kind of chess, named flip chess, but unfortunately the inventor often lost to Zou Shun this follower in the end. At that time, my brother had too many ideas, and Zou Shun and his gang of partners only needed to follow him, but now, he went out, and Zou Shun didn't have so many novel ideas, so the family was naturally much more deserted.

Having said that, Zou Shun has been relatively quiet since he was a child, and he really doesn't care about playing, maybe because he has been a good child in the eyes of his parents since he was a child, and a lot of fun is not allowed in the eyes of his parents, so he doesn't dare to do it, for fear of ruining the image in his parents' hearts, many people say that he is quiet like a girl, but Zou Shun knows that this is just his side, and his other side is much more resolute.

Maybe it's because he's been depressed at home for too long, but when he arrives at school, he seems to be a different person, changing his quiet side, becoming very cheerful and outgoing, talking a lot, and not forgetting to tease the teacher even in class.

Thinking of being able to see that group of people again at the beginning of school, Zou Shun's heart is not to mention how happy he is, he and his parents have looked at each other for so many years, I don't know if they have aesthetic fatigue about their faces, anyway, Zou Shun is more willing to see some fresh faces. Having said that, when Zou Shun heard that his father was going to take his mother out to work and to throw himself to his grandfather like a burden, his mind was still like a spring day suddenly sounded a thunderclap, which shook his soul and his body.

How should two people who are separated by a round of age get along? This is Zou Shun's first question. Although my grandfather is very good to him, the difference in the living habits of the two cannot be ignored, and more importantly, the situation of my grandfather's family is very complicated, although it is not as complicated as Alyosha's grandfather's house, but Zou Shun always feels that there are some similar people, similar things, and similar environments in Grandpa Alyosha's family.

Grandpa is a son-in-law, grandma's family background was quite thick, grandma's father, Zou Shun's grandfather, wanted to give birth to a son to inherit the family business, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, the ancestor gave birth to four daughters in a row, of course, there is no way to give birth, as for whether the ancestor was blinded by the grandfather because of this, there is no way to verify. I only know that not long after the fourth daughter was born, my grandfather drove to the west.

It is said that these four daughters were born with good faces, and as rural women, they can pick up customers in the hall, cook in the kitchen, cultivate in the mountains, and plant rice in the fields. It is said that they also went to school and knew a few words, which was still rare at the time. Because they are both talented and good-looking, they can take care of people and things, and when they reach the age of marriage, the person who proposes marriage almost didn't break the threshold of the ancestral family.

The first person to get married was naturally the eldest aunt, she is also the most legendary of the four sisters, it is said that one summer, one day the eldest aunt was working in the field, for some reason her stomach suddenly hurt, at first she didn't care, because it was really not obvious, continue to work, and then she suddenly felt that the intestines in her stomach were like knots. She immediately stopped what she was doing, and wanted to find a shady place to rest for a while, but she felt cold sweat breaking out from every pore of her body, and she was sure that it was cold sweat, not sweat from hard work.

Immediately she understood what the situation was, rural people have a characteristic - basically do not see a doctor, no matter what symptoms they have, they can detect and find out the corresponding treatment at the first time. She knew that it must be because of the cold food she ate at noon, which caused her stomach cramps now, as long as she could find a place to make it convenient, the matter would be solved satisfactorily. As soon as she thought of this, she ran to a place with her stomach hunched over, and because her stomach was in pain, and there was no one nearby when she had been working, she found a small forest in a panic.

But she forgot that she was working on the side of the road, and although there were not many people coming and going, she was not sure when she would appear. Just as she was hunched over and jumping off a hurdle, a wandering barefoot doctor noticed her, seeing that she was so sneaky, the barefoot doctor suddenly became suspicious, and followed her into the woods, according to his later recollection, he had not yet entered the woods, he smelled the smell of nature, but at that time he was already on the edge of the woods, the inertia of his body, the inertia of his mind, and the inertia of his subconscious, all prompted him to continue walking, and at the same time his hand helped to pick up the leaves in front of him.

Maybe the eldest aunt was too involved, or maybe the barefoot doctor was too gentle, in short, the eldest aunt did not notice him in the first place. According to the barefoot doctor, he was visibly stunned when he opened the leaves and saw the scene in front of him, and although he had already guessed a second ago, he was still shocked when he actually put the picture in front of his eyes. Although I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, I have seen many women, and occasionally joke with some women, but it is the first time I have seen a woman convenient in front of my eyes.

For a moment he looked a little stupid, until the eldest aunt noticed his shadow, looked up, looked at each other, and she shouted, he realized where he was. When his consciousness came back, he immediately realized what he had done, suddenly jumped two steps back, turned around, put his hand on his forehead, and hurriedly apologized.

The eldest aunt is annoyed and angry, angry and hateful, she has grown so big, except for her parents and relatives, who has seen herself like this? No, even if you are a relative, you may not have seen your own convenience. She really wanted to go up and slap him like the women who were peeking in the play, but on the one hand, she saw him jumping up and down and begging for prayers and apologies, and on the other hand, she felt that her stomach was not empty, so she left him and walked away in the other direction.

Later, according to the eldest aunt, when she first saw him, she only thought that he was quite handsome, and the barefoot doctor recalled that when they first saw him, she only felt that something had appeared in their eyes at that moment.

Later, the barefoot doctor found a job in the village, which was not difficult to find a job at that time, because it was a coal mining village, and he put down his medicine box, but he did not give up his medicine box. Later, he always casually appeared in all the places where the eldest aunt appeared (except the toilet), and half a year later, he took her hand, and a year later, they set up a wedding feast. After getting married, his aunt followed him to his hometown of Guizhou, and since then he has less contact with his family.

Zou Shun's grandmother and the other two aunts don't have so many legendary stories, but they have a characteristic that has been rumored to be a good story, that is, they are both married to men surnamed Wang, and every Chinese New Year, there are always several circles of people in the house, and most of them are surnamed Wang.

Zou Shun's grandmother is the second in line, because the eldest sister is married in Guizhou, and according to the grandfather's wishes, she wants to recruit a son-in-law, and this task naturally falls on the shoulders of the grandmother. Judging from the family background of the grandmother's family at that time, it was not difficult to recruit a son-in-law, a year after the eldest aunt got married, Zou Shun's grandmother also got married, and the life after marriage was good, but the good times did not last long, the man died not long after, and the two did not leave a son and a half daughter. At this time, although the grandmother was still very young, in the countryside, it was much more difficult for a married woman to marry again than to resell second-hand goods, and people with considerable family backgrounds were unwilling to marry this woman who had a dead husband, let alone plug in the door.

Just when my grandmother was worried, another man intervened in her life, he, a carpenter, of course, is also a farmer, usually grows some crops, when he is free, he makes a few sieves and dustpans, and sells them in the town, the family background is much worse, but he can also shave food with his own labor, and he is honest, the key is that he is willing to insert the door upside down, this condition is the most tempting, the only deficiency is that he is too old, full of twelve years older than his grandmother, a whole round of zodiac, grandma at that time could not agree, and could not say disagree, It became a pro again in such a daze.

My grandfather likes to drink, and once when he was drunk, someone jokingly asked him why he wanted to be his son-in-law, he said: "When I used to work in the fields, she used to shake her two braids in front of me when she went to school, like two little pendulums, and I sometimes couldn't sleep, thinking about those two little pendulums and falling asleep......"

As for Zou Shun's third and fourth aunts, their marriages are relatively peaceful and successful. Because the three families are in the same village, and they are all surnamed Wang, they are particularly close, after all, the three sisters are married to people with the same surname, and there is always a feeling of being close to each other.

Zou Shun's grandmother has three children, Zou Shun's mother is the eldest, and there are two uncles, in this family, the age span between the two generations is very small, sometimes only a few years between the two generations. The fourth aunt is only six years older than Zou Shun's mother, and Zou Shun's second uncle is only seven years older than Zou Shun's brother.

Since we talked about Zou Shun's two uncles, we have to talk about their families. Uncle Wang Wu got married relatively early and had two children under his knees, one was older than Zou Shun and named Wang An, and the other was younger than Zou Shun and named Wang Jing. If you want to say that the family will affect the children, then Zou Shun agrees with one hundred people. Wang Wu was an alcoholic, often drunk in the dark, unconscious. It is said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, and the eldest aunt is not a vegetarian, wars often break out between the two, and in the end it is of course the two children who suffer, and the eldest aunt finally can't bear it, so she goes out to work, but she is not divorced.

Frustrated Wang Wu naturally sent all the fire to the two children, a few years ago on a certain day in a month, he asked his cousin Wang An to help him drink, cousin somehow, did not obey, Wang Wu punched and kicked him, but lifted him, head down and feet up, just wanted to smash into the coal pit like this, if it wasn't for his grandmother hugging his cousin in time, now whether he is alive or not is still a question.

Zou Shun lived in his grandfather's house during the summer vacation, when his cousin was already working outside, and rural students usually went out to work after dropping out of school. His father Wang Wu also happened to be at home at that time, and he wanted to take him to work on the construction site, and his cousin knew Wang Wu's temperament, of course, he refused to compromise, so a war broke out between the fifteen-year-old Wang An and the thirty-four-five-year-old Wang Wu.

At that time, Zou Shun was there all the time, that scene was still vivid even if he recalled it many years later, the cousin at the beginning still had a slight upper hand, the young man was just impulsive, Zou Shun saw several times that he almost knocked Wang Wu down, but he shook it, shook it, just didn't fall, Zou Shun was also very anxious next to him at that time, of course, it was not in a hurry how to make them stop, but in a hurry why Wang Wu didn't fall. According to his heart, he wanted to go up and help push it, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be very anxious, and he had to pretend to persuade him, which felt like eating, and he had to say: Well, this is delicious.

But Jiang is still old and spicy, as time goes by, cousin Wang An gradually loses his physical strength, Wang Wu has the advantage, easily put him down, the victory has been divided, if no one goes up to stop it, I don't know how to find the steps down, so the idler Zou Shun and the grandmother who was really anxious on the side hurriedly pulled Wang Wu in anger and stopped him from unilaterally committing violence.

As for his cousin Wang Jing, this name sounds very much like a girl, and he himself looks a little like a girl, his face is very white, unusually white, but he is a very boy, even several times crazier than a boy. Wang An's life was not good since he was a child, and a warlock who traveled all over the world said that he was afraid of his parents, and Wang Wudu was ready to burn him to death according to the warlock's request, but at that time, Zou's father couldn't bear it, and after some persuasion, he was saved from the fire. Ironically, a decade or two later, Wang An and his parents are fine.

Everyone is the same, come to this world for a walk, you are not good at learning, in order to fill the empty stomach, you say two nonsense, take some money from other people's pockets, this is understandable, but it is a young and fresh life! I haven't come to this world to appreciate the excitement of the world, but I have already had the risk of my life, and the cause of all this is your nonsense, therefore, I just want to say one word to you: I fuck your mother!

Maybe it's because of Wang An's so-called fate, so Wang Jing has been doted on since he was a child, and his behavior is inevitably high-flying, if his grandmother doesn't follow his heart, he dares to greet his grandmother with his fist, if the dish is not appetizing, he will either be angry and not eat, which is good, and even more so he will jump up and down in the house, shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground, and knocking the bowl with chopsticks. Many times Zou Shun really can't understand why such a disrespectful person can grow so big?

As for the situation of the second uncle's family, it is completely different, the second uncle Wang Ming is less talkative, sincere, he has only been married for two or three years, the second uncle is also a good daughter-in-law praised by everyone, she upholds the belief that "friends make friends with heart, parents use their lives to filial piety", although now the family is surrounded by walls, but the whole family is supporting them, their days are difficult and happy.

This is the environment in which Zou Shun will live for a year, before he leaves home, the only thing he can do is to kowtow a few more times in front of his ancestors, and bless himself not to suffer too much, of course, whether the ancestors are not is an unclear question, but it is much better to have a little psychological comfort.

On the day of registration, Zou Shun got up early, packed his bags and walked to his grandfather's house, because he needed to transport his belongings first. Although I have to go through school, but because I have a lot of trivial things, it is really unsightly to carry a backpack, which is especially true for Zou Shun, who is in adolescence, this backpack is like a bomb, which may explode at any time, so I should go to my grandfather's house to put down this bag first.

When Zou Shun came to his grandfather's house, there was no one at home, that day was the day of registration, grandma had taken Wang Jing to sign up, although his grandfather had no children to bring, but there was still a lot of work on the mountain, so when Zou Shun arrived, there was no imaginary welcome, of course, this is blameless at all, but for Zou Shun, who left home for the first time, he only felt empty in his heart, helpless, empty and uncomfortable. But he knew that he had no choice, and since he had come here, he had to let go of his weakness and put on his strong shield.

He put down his bags, grabbed the items he needed to sign up, and set out on the journey again. His grandfather's house was relatively close to the school, only forty minutes away, and when he returned to school, it was not too late, it was only eleven o'clock. There is nothing important on the day of registration, as soon as the money is handed over and the homework is thrown, it is over.

After registering, the day's tasks are almost complete, and all that remains is to meet friends and wander around. The girls in the class will naturally not let go of such a day suitable for shopping, walking together in twos and threes, students with a little money will go to the store to buy, and if the money in the bag is a little less, they will go to the stall to buy, of course, Zou Shun is difficult to see the difference between the clothes they buy.

Zou Shun met Feng Zongwei when he signed up, he was with his friend Li Guang at this time, most of them signed up to pay money and throw homework, just the two of them lurking outside the office to investigate, Zou Shun was hit by their barrage as soon as he got out of the office, nothing more than asking the head teacher if he checked his homework or something, Zou Shun was naturally not stupid, and instantly reacted that their homework was not done, and told them truthfully, and when they trembled and handed in their homework, after breathing a sigh of relief, the three of them walked towards the street.

If you want to ask all the shops, what kind of shop does the students spend the most time in, it must be a fried potato shop, Sichuan people love to eat potatoes, and they have made tricks for making potatoes, wolf tooth potatoes, potato cakes, sour and hot shredded potatoes, mashed potatoes、...... There are countless more, but, in Guanlian Town, the most popular is fried potatoes, heat up a small half pot of vegetable oil, put in potato pieces, fry until golden brown, scoop up and drain for eating, plus the adjusted chili noodles, sweet and delicious, crispy and delicious.

As soon as Zou Shun and the others got out of school, they settled their butts in a potato shop, where they could chat in addition to enjoying the delicious fried potatoes. Generally speaking, if you can sit together and eat potatoes and put up a dragon gate array, the relationship is good.

Another advantage of eating potatoes at the school gate is that you can see the students coming and going, and after a New Year, everyone has some changes, which can be seen from the way they dress.

Later, Zou Shun and Feng Zongwei went together to solve their accommodation problem, and this semester they still live in the basement of the second sister, the rent is still the original rent, and the person is still the same person.

By the time Zou Shun finished what they had to do, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Zou Shun still needed to go back to his grandfather's house tonight to explain the situation to them.

When he arrived at his grandfather's house, his grandfather had already returned from the field and was about to cook, when Zou Shun saw his back and called out to his grandfather.

Grandpa turned around slowly, saw Zou Shun, his face was happy, and said, "Brother Shun, are you back?" I saw the back basket, and I said whose it was! ”

That night, Zou Shun and his grandfather had the first meal together, because the eldest uncle and the second uncle had separated, and the grandfather did not live at the uncle's house, so the two old people lived in one family, the grandfather lived in the second uncle's house, the grandmother lived in the uncle's house, and as for the ancestor, the family lived for half a year.

My grandfather's house is relatively peaceful, except for Zou Shun, there are no children, and my grandmother's side is much more noisy, because Wang Jing has playmates, and she often makes a lot of noise at home.

Zou Shun and his grandfather's life is very peaceful, Zou Shun is usually at school, and he goes home for two days on weekends, and his grandfather is also very good to him, and usually does not let him go to the mountains to work - although his grandfather does not grow many crops, Zou Shun of course likes this decision, so he usually has two tasks at home, one is to write homework, and the other is to cook.

But there will also be some small ravines in life, such as Zou Shun in his grandfather's house has not seen MSG for two or three months, fortunately Zou Shun's tongue is not so picky, and he can always make what he can eat, but also gradually grasp his grandfather's preferences, he likes to drink a little wine, cold salad is one of his great favorites, pig's head meat is naturally the best choice for making cold salad, after the pig's head meat is eaten, grandpa taught Zou Shun to get some bacon, wash and cook well, slice, put the seasoning, and it is a cold salad. Grandpa lived a simple life, generally drank a small half bowl of wine, ate a bowl of rice, almost never changed, sometimes some fried beans, sometimes some cold cucumbers, can also cope, he doesn't like chicken, duck and fish, sauerkraut is one of his favorites.

Another trouble for Zou Shun is that there is no shampoo at home, that summer, he did not go to the street for more than a month, and there is no shampoo at home, so every time he washes his hair, it is washed with water, and it is cold water, more than a month later, he went to the street to cut his hair, before he went carefully to wash his hair with hot water, when cutting his hair, the young and beautiful barber girl who often caused Zou Shun and their group of children to reverie still couldn't help but ask him: "Has your hair been permed before?" So hard. ”

At that time, the girl's tone was very kind, and it seemed that there was a sense of praise. Zou Shun had to say in a daze: "Hmm...... Before, it was scalded once. But he cursed in his heart: "Hot ghost!" ”

Another problem is that there is no toilet paper at my grandfather's house, and every time Zou Shun goes to the toilet, he tears a page from his homework book, rubs it back and forth, rubs it back and forth, and after rubbing it softly, it will be okay. Once a few people came to the house, one of them wanted to go to the toilet, but found that there was no paper, asked his grandfather, grandfather said no, asked Zou Shun, Zou Shun also said no, God knows how he solved it later.

Although life is a little difficult, but it is passable, because grandparents and grandmothers, as well as the two aunts on the other side of the river are the best people, although the ancestor is half cut into the ground, but she is also very good to Zou Shun, Zou Shun did not have pocket money before, every time he goes to his grandparents' house, grandma will give him money, and the ancestor will also give.

It is said that when Zou Shun's parents wanted to get married in the past, his grandfather did not agree, because Zou Shun's father's life was much more difficult at home, and the family situation was not optimistic, but his mother insisted on marrying, and at the same time, there was pressure from his ancestors, so his grandfather agreed.

Although Zou Shun's parents got married, his grandfather was not very happy, and rarely came to Zou Shun's house, and the last time he arrived was more than ten years ago when Zou Shun's father moved. But Lao Zu, on the contrary, she approved of the marriage of Zou's father and Zou's mother, not only that, but she also came to help cook and take care of the children when Zou Shun's parents built a house.

In short, the stories of the older generation are interesting and valuable, and they often attract Zou Shun to linger.
