Ma Hongxia's family's three bungalows have just been built for two or three years. Like the layout of most people's homes in Sarentai Gacha, the two rooms in the east and the west are small, with the kitchen in the middle, and the only difference is that the front and back spans of the house are larger, and the back of the east and west bedrooms is a warehouse separated out. Such a design is rare in old houses in rural and pastoral areas, but it is particularly practical.

The house has white walls and blue windows, dotted with auspicious cloud patterns. The auspicious cloud not only represents a kind of worship of the Mongolian people for immortality, but also the auspicious pattern of the Chinese nation, which often appears on clothes, porcelain and furniture, implying auspiciousness and good luck. The creative inspiration for the Olympic torch held in our country came from the auspicious cloud pattern of "symbiosis and harmony". Of course, the auspicious clouds on the torch are red, and the auspicious cloud pattern of the Hongxia family is blue.

Hongxia and Lotus's house are neighbors in the east and west courtyards, and Lotus is in the east, next to the street, and there are shops. Hongxia's kitchen also opened a back door. There is a small vegetable garden at the back, which is just a wall away from the lotus family's vegetable garden.

Since the new house was built, Hongxia has almost lived alone, and her husband is always in the pastoral point. Because he is reluctant to spend money to hire people, and second, he can't trust ordinary people. In this way, I can only suffer more by myself.

My sister's house is what Matoya usually goes to most often, but as for how many times a week or how many times a day, Toya herself can't tell. But she clearly remembers a day, so to speak, which has been deeply imprinted in her mind-

Shortly after the Olympics, Toya took her five-year-old son, Asgen, and her neighbors, six-year-old Xiaoshan and four-year-old Xiaoling of the Shen family, to her sister Hongxia's house that morning. Dong Jing and Shen Fu went to the pastoral point to come back in the afternoon, and when they left in the morning, they handed over the two children to Tuoya to take care of.

Asgen and Xiaoshan and Xiaoling are making trouble in the yard. Looking through the door, Toya and Hongxia were chatting, and from time to time they glanced at the children playing in the yard.

Asgen pulls out an egg from the hen's coop and shows off as he runs, attracting Xiaoshan, Xiaoling, and the big yellow dog "Xiri" to chase after him.

"Asgen, don't run!" After Toya shouted, she stood up to stop her, but was stopped by Hongxia, and she said, "Let them play."

Toya: These three kids, when they get together, they can't find any edges. Especially Asgen, when he saw Xiaoshan and Xiaoling, he was closer than anyone else, as if he had been doped.

Hongxia smiled and said: You are really good, you even know about doping.

Toya: Sister, you're still making fun of me? Watching the Olympics on TV, don't you always say that our country's athletes have achieved good results, and there are foreign helpers who spread rumors and say that they have taken doping. These foreigners are old and lacking in virtue.

Hongxia: I'm not making fun of you. I spend my days at the pasture and at home, and I'm too busy to watch TV.

…………

The three nay boys were messing around in the yard, and the sisters were chatting without a word.

Toya suddenly looked up and asked, "Sister, do you really want to move out?"

"To be honest, I really don't want to move. It's not your brother-in-law, who said that he would go directly to the pasture to live, and the money from the sale of the house here would be invested in buying some good basic ewes. Aren't we herders relying on that? It's better to hire someone to take care of it yourself. After saying that, Hongxia sighed.

Life is always so full of helplessness.

"That's right. It's the same in my family, and he just won't agree to ask Agina to hire someone. In fact, I know that we have few sheep, and if we hire people, we won't have anything left in a year. ”

"Yes, it's not like a big family, you can do anything."

"It's just bitter Agina. It's hard to be alone in a pastoral location. "Toya really feels sorry for her husband.

"yes. I'm also worried about your brother-in-law, so I reluctantly agreed. Otherwise, his stubborn temper would have come up, and he would have been living in the pastoral point all the time, and no one would have taken care of him for a long time, and his body would have collapsed. ”

"Ugh—" Toya sighed. The two sisters are in a similar situation, and they feel the same when it comes to the difficulties of life.

Hongxia changed the topic and wanted to talk about something happy, so she asked: Can Lotus stay for a few more days when she comes back this time?

Toya smiled bitterly and said, "Lotus, don't expect her to stay long, every time she comes back, she is in a hurry."

"People are busy with business in Haiyi City, and making money is a big deal."

"Sister, you said that this time flies really fast, the sisters who were together when they were children are now married, especially those who are married to other places, and it is rare to come back twice a year when Dao'er is far away. Sometimes when I think about my childhood, it feels like it was yesterday. The light-hearted topic that Hongxia led was led to a heavy weight by Toya.

Time flies by, and it's hard to turn back. This is the common and biggest regret in life. Fortunately, there are still memories to recall.

Hongxia pointed to Asgen who was running crazy outside and said, "Toya, look, you were the youngest of us girls at that time, and now the children are so old. With children chasing after us, we're getting old fast.

Toya nodded with emotion.

Hongxia: You say, how much is a lot of money to earn money? It's funny that we all want to make money when we don't have money, and we want to make more money when we have money.

Toya: Well, I want to run for the better. By the way, sister, I want to treat Lotus to a meal, what do you think I should do?

Hongxia thought for a while and said: Now people, the taste is high, and the delicious things that were eaten in the past have no taste now. Or – or make your best pie?

"But every time she comes back, she makes pies, and I want to change my ......"

The two chattered and looked outside.

Toya shouted: Asgen, don't throw water on the mountain, aren't your clothes dirty?

Asgen smiled, and promised happily, still going his own way, or chasing me with Xiaoshan and Xiaoling.

Toya: This kid is too naughty.

Hongxia: Little boy, it's good to be a little hot.

"His dad is a little wilting, he doesn't inherit it at all."

"You, you are not enough to swallow elephants. When Asgen really stops being naughty, like Aginay and doesn't talk every day, and doesn't mess with you, you shouldn't be able to stand it. ”

…………

Xiaoshan got the egg, ran into the house and handed it to Hongxia: Auntie, the egg is for you, or it should be broken.

Hongxia praised: It's still Xiaoshan sensible. You're going to have fun.

Xiaoshan promised to run out.

Hongxia: You still have to go to the pastoral point from time to time to see Agina, and your parents are also involved in you. If I move out again, you'll be even more tired.

Toya: Sister, it's okay. This time, Agina has a motorcycle, and the back and forth is fast.

"Alas, Su De and Su He's family are all busy enough, and they can't take care of their parents."

"I don't need them, I just got married and have a thin foundation, I can do it. Besides, every time they came, no matter who they were, they rushed to do the work outside the house. ”

"It's hard for them, life is tight. To support your family, you can't do it if you don't work hard. ”

Toya looked at her phone and said, "It's fast, it's noon again, I have to go back to cooking."
