"The third family is back!" someone greeted him, but it was Chen Sheng's aunt. Chen Sheng's father is the third oldest among his peers in the village.

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, I'll go home first." ”

"Good Lat, go ahead. ”

Chen Sheng then continued to walk home, his family is the deepest family in the village, his grandfather is a good hand at playing with guns, he is a famous hunter in ten miles and eight towns, and his grandmother has passed away. His father was also a good hunter in the village, and his mother was a famous beauty in the neighboring village.

Standing at the door of the house, Chen Sheng first looked at the front yard, there was corn and peppers drying in the yard, there seemed to be no one at home, and the door was hidden.

Chen Sheng pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, feeling his familiar taste, and his heart calmed down. This is where he has lived for 20 years.

When Chen Sheng pushed open the courtyard door, there was movement in the house, and a neutral voice came, "Who?"

When Chen Sheng heard this, he replied, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”

"Oh, my grandson is back!" Immediately, an old man came out of the house, smoking an old-fashioned pipe, his skin had shriveled, and his face was full of signs of time.

"Grandpa. When Chen Sheng saw the old man, he shouted again.

"Eh, come inside. The old man squinted and smiled.

"Yes. Chen Sheng walked into the house quickly, the house was an old-fashioned earthen house, divided into the main hall, that is, the living room, and three rooms in the east and west, a total of 7 rooms.

"Grandpa, where is my father?" Chen asked without seeing his parents.

"Little San, I'm in the mountains. Your mother, now go to the field to pick vegetables. The old man said happily, "Sheng'er, why did you come back today? ”

"I want to come back. I miss you and my mom and dad. Chen Sheng said with a smile, but his eyes were a little red.

"Good. In a moment today, grandpa will kill a chicken for you and make up for my good grandson. The old man smoked his pipe, squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Yes. Grandpa, sit down, I'll clean up my room. Chen Sheng said to the old man.

"Okay, go, my good grandson will grow up. The old man's eyes flashed, and he said. When Chen Sheng started walking just now, he was no longer as vain as before.

"Yes. Chen Sheng nodded in agreement, and then walked to his room. It is the innermost room on the east side. The furnishings in the room are a bit old, and there is a large bookshelf, and there are naturally many books on the shelves. Similar to "Spring and Autumn", "Analects" and other wire-bound books, even the font is still traditional.

Chen Sheng took a feather duster from the kitchen and began to clean his room. Nothing too dirty, just dusty. Gently sweep the dust off the desk and bookshelf, and then look at your bed. Clean up the dust and ask my mother where the mattress was.

Then he took the broom again and began to sweep the floor.

After sweeping the floor, Chen Sheng went to fetch well water again, sprinkled it on the ground, then took a mop and began to mop the floor.

After finishing his work, Chen Sheng exhaled.

Before his mother came back, Chen Sheng asked the old man where the mat was. After taking the mat, spread it on the bed.

Chen Sheng lay down. I thought about the past, I thought about what had happened recently, and the sense of unreality finally disappeared after I got home and got busy.

After lying down for a while, Chen Sheng heard his mother come back. It's still morning, and my mother is picking vegetables and preparing for lunch.

"The saint is back. The old man smoked a cigarette and said.

"Really, why did Sheng'er come back?"

"Now in the room. The old man continued.

At this time, Chen Sheng had already stood up and walked quickly to the front hall.

"Mother. Chen Sheng saw his mother and said.

"Son!" Chen Sheng's mother hugged Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng basically doesn't go home except for the Chinese New Year, and his family also knows that Chen Sheng is earning tuition for himself, so he feels even more sorry for Chen Sheng.

"Mother. Chen Sheng replied that this was his mother, and he still remembered that every time he was unwell, his mother fed him food, and she didn't know how many times she worked the night shift as a mother for him.

"Xiaoling, let's go cook first. Sheng'er must not have eaten yet. The old man spoke.

"Oh! "Chen Sheng's mother's name is Li Ling'er.

"Boil the hot water first, and I'll kill an old hen." The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said.

"Good. ”

Chen Sheng's eyes were a little red again, for the sake of his studies and ideals, he only went home once a year. The family is poor, and when he is not there, his parents and grandfather must not even touch the meat, and he thinks that the money his father obtained from selling blood is used for him to go to school.

This time, he obviously felt that his mother was older than before, with more wrinkles, and even a few strands of gray hair. Probably, after experiencing the incident in Heluo, Chen Sheng also knows how to cherish it more. In the past, he sometimes wondered why his body was so weak, why his family was so poor, and why he was ...... When he was a child, he always complained that when he wanted to play with his friends, his parents told him that he couldn't, and then he took so many bitter medicines, obviously he didn't like them, but he had to take them, and his father was even injured for these medicines.

"Grandpa, I'll help you. Chen Shengdao immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Good. The old man responded with a smile, and he found that Chen Sheng was different from the past. His blood was sufficient, his steps were steady, and his complexion was much better.

Mother Chen looked at Chen Sheng, also smiled, and then went to wash vegetables and boil water.

"Mother, when will my father come back?" Chen Sheng asked, not knowing if his father had just entered the mountain or had been in the mountain for several days.

"It should be today, he has been in the mountain for 3 days. Chen's mother replied.

"Oh. Chen Sheng responded, but saw that the old man had already brought an old hen over. The chickens and ducks at home are raised in the backyard, and they usually eat some grains and corn, and when they come to visit, or slaughter one during the New Year's holiday.

"Grandpa, how many chickens and ducks are there at home?" asked Chen Sheng.

"There was also 1 rooster and 9 hens. There are 3 male ducks and 13 female ducks. This year, there are 10 more geese in the family, and there are 6 female geese. In a while, let your mother make a goose egg to eat. The old man smiled and brought the hen over, "Sheng'er, grasp the two claws of the chicken first." ”

"Good Ratcha. Chen Sheng grabbed the hen's two claws with his right hand, and then grabbed the two wings with his left hand and pinched them tightly. If it was him before, he would definitely not be able to catch it. You know, in fact, when killing chickens, the power of chickens is very great.

Then the old man took a knife from the kitchen, cleaned the feathers under the chicken's neck, grabbed the chicken's head, and gave the hen a knife. At this time, Chen Sheng's mother had already taken a small bowl with salt in it to catch the chicken blood. Chen Sheng made the hen's body stand more upright to facilitate bloodletting.

After a while, the hen began to struggle with death.

Wings fluttering.

At this time, Chen Sheng's mother remembered that it was Chen Sheng who was holding the chicken today.

"Sheng'er, when did you have so much strength to be able to catch chickens?"

"Mother, I'm a man anyway, what's more, I'm 21 years old. It's not a child anymore, where can I not even catch a chicken. Chen Sheng said with a smile that he wanted to wait for his father to come back and then tell his family that he was in good health.

"Yes. Chen's mother laughed self-deprecatingly, Chen Sheng's body, didn't she know? Then find a girl and start a family. As for starting a business, children can do whatever they want.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and at the same time, a male voice sounded, "Son, I'm back." ”
