The third uncle said: "I won't get drunk, I won't get drunk, anyway, I will be vacated today, I will accompany the uncle and aunt for a day, and if there is nothing to do, I will tease my thrush." ”

Uncle Zhu said: "Spring ploughing is busy, after eating, let's go back, you can do things." ”

The third uncle listened to Uncle Zhu's words, no longer persuaded to drink, and shouted: "Jin Chun, add rice." ”

Jin Chun and Jin Hui answered in the kitchen: "Just come." ”

Uncle handed the bowl to Jin Hui Jinchun walked over, faced Uncle Zhu, stretched out his hands and said, "Uncle, I'll add food to you." ”

The eldest aunt handed the bowl to Jin Chun.

After Jin Huitian ate, he handed it to the uncle with both hands, and added food to the third uncle.

After Jin Chuntian ate, he went to the kitchen and brought a big bowl of boiled tofu with cabbage and a bowl of spicy water.

Jin Hui walked into the room and asked, "Mom, do you want to add food?" ”

Mom said, "When you're full, take the dishes and chopsticks back, and you're ready to eat breakfast!" ”

Jin Hui said: "We are still waiting for my sister-in-law to come back from hunting pigweed, and Jin Guo and Jin Han will come back from herding cattle, and everyone will eat together." ”

Kim Hye took the bowl back into the kitchen.

Jin Chun stood beside the third uncle, waiting for Uncle Zhu and Uncle Zhu to eat for them.

Uncle Zhu said: "Don't stand here, I only eat this bowl of rice after drinking." ”

Aunt Zhu said: "Girl, I have a lot of rice in this bowl, go to eat, don't stand here!" ”

Jin Chun said, "I'll go over when you finish eating." ”

Uncle Zhu said: "No, no, don't be so polite." ”

At this time, Jin Chun looked at his father, and his father said, "Uncle and aunt have called you over, you can go over, we will finish eating, and then call you to put away the bowl." ”

Jin Chun left, went back to the kitchen and waited with Jin Hui for his sister-in-law, fourth brother, and fifth brother to come back and have breakfast together.

After breakfast, Uncle Zhu and Uncle Zhu said that they were busy at home and must go back.

Zhou Qixue couldn't persuade him no matter how he tried to persuade him, and his mother picked up Xiao Guizhou and stood by the door of the room to keep it, but he still couldn't keep it.

The third uncle climbed upstairs and took more than ten peels of leaf cigarettes to the uncle, Uncle Zhu accepted it, and Uncle Zhu opened the piece covering Xiao Guizhou and said, "Good baby, take it well." ”

Saying that, Uncle Zhu and Uncle Zhu both walked out of the court, the third uncle sent the two old out of the court, the big black dog shook his tail, licked his tongue and stood on the side of the door, so that the uncle and uncle went forward, and followed the two of them out of the village.

On the tenth day of the third lunar month in 1945, the moon was full in Guizhou.

As soon as the day dawned, several roosters in the chicken pen crowed one and that one.

The third uncle got up, filled a large handful of eggshells left over from eating eggs for a month, carried them to the three-way intersection by the bamboo forest at the gate of the village, fell in the middle of the road, and trampled on them with passers-by.

The third uncle came back, picked up Xiao Guizhou and said, "Doll, I'm so happy to hug you, I poured the eggshell, and passers-by will step on it." ”

The mother said, "It's not dawn yet, put the baby down quickly, it's not good to catch a cold." ”

The third uncle put down the baby and didn't say anything, watched Wang, walked out of the door of the room, picked up the cigarette stick, wrapped a leaf cigarette in the pipe, took out the fire sickle, put the fire grass on the fire sickle, and used another fire sickle to "bang bang" three times, the fire grass caught fire, and he put the fire grass on the tobacco leaf with his left hand.

"Climb, climb" smoked a leaf cigarette.

After smoking a cigarette, the sky was already bright, he walked into the room without waiting for his mother's consent, picked up Xiao Guizhou, put the cigarette stick against the door, took a large piece from the bench and wrapped it in his arms, opened the back door, walked to the backyard dam, looked at the baby while walking, and teased the thrush in his mouth: "Tools, dogs are expensive, dogs are expensive." ”

After he teased, the two thrushes who were feeding also cried.

At one moment, the thrush crowed, the in the mountains behind the stockade, the sparrows in front of and behind the house, the magpies in the catalpa trees, and the roosters in the chicken pen.

Mom got up, washed her face, and combed her hair.

I climbed the stairs and picked five buns of grain and put them in the shengzi, walked to the chicken pen, opened the door of the circle, and released the chickens.

Four roosters and eight hens scrambled to squeeze out of the hen pen, there were two roosters, and three hens looked up at their mothers.

While scattering the sacks on the ground, my mother said, "I haven't sprinkled the buns for you for more than a month, and you don't recognize me!" Eat, eat the grain hen to lay eggs, the rooster is good to keep the ring. ”

A rooster ate the bun and stood on the stone in front of the circle and "clucked" a few times.

My mother fed the chickens, carried a hoe, and said to Jin Hui: "I will go to the garden to have a look, and in less than a month, the garden is afraid that all the grass will grow." ”

Jin Hui said: "Mom, you are only full moon, you will go after a few days, there is no grass in the garden." ”

Mom said, "There's no grass in the garden?" I don't believe it. ”

As he spoke, he walked into the garden with his hoe on his shoulder.

Mother walked to the edge of the garden, opened the thorn at the garden gate, stood at the gate of the garden and put down the hoe to see, the beans were blooming, the beans were budding, the green vegetables of the six ditches and the garlic of the four ditches were growing green and oily, and the middle of the row was clean, and there was not a single weed.

One person said to himself: "The eldest daughter-in-law and the two girls are obedient and obedient, and they clean up the garden, and they have to entertain three relatives and six relatives for a month." ”

She walked to the edge of the garden hemp field again to see that the garden hemp had sprouted, and some were half a foot high, she said to the garden hemp: "This year, I must weave a pair of foot wraps for her third uncle." ”

Mother carried her head, walked back to the edge of the garden, walked out of the garden gate, put down the hoe, put down the garden gate thorn and turned home, and saw Aunt Mi carrying a flower basket on her back, holding a sickle from the opposite side, before my mother could speak, Aunt Mi said: "Second sister, you are only full moon today, what are you doing in the garden?" Can't you take a baby for two more days? ”

My mother said, "I don't have to worry about the crops in the garden, I'm afraid of grass, but I know that my daughter-in-law and the two girls are still diligent and keep the garden clean." ”

My aunt said: "They not only cut the garden, but also half of the vegetables in the field by the door, the girl is diligent, and the daughter-in-law is also well-behaved." ”

Mom said, "How many pigs are you feeding this year, and then you go out to hunt pigweed?" ”

My aunt said: "Only feed two, both pigs can eat, I will cut cabbage, by the way to beat some pigweed and feed, both are willing to grow." ”

Mother said: "Feed well, sell one at the end of the year and kill one for the New Year, the rich study, the poor feed the pigs, and feed the pigs and raise the baby to study." ”

He also said: "It's okay later, come to my house to sit, teach Jin Hui Jin Chun to sing some songs, Jin Hui will be a guest in October, she doesn't sing many songs, and the Gelao girls won't drink songs to make people laugh." ”

My aunt said, "If you teach them, you have to get them, and you want me to teach them?" ”

Mother said, "I don't have as many songs as yours, but your songs have three thousand eight hundred and nine baskets." ”

My aunt walked through the paths, over the bamboo forest, and went to her home to cut cabbage and hunt pigweed.

When the mother returned to the door, she put the hoe back at the foot of the bird's nest, walked into the hall, and saw the daughter-in-law in Tianbaogu and the two girls grinding.
