The Rebirth of the Portable Space The Red Age

The old scalper pulled the cart unhurriedly, mooing twice from time to time.Two and a half boys on the bullock cart sandwiched Ya'er in the middle, and each of them took Ya'er's small hand, holding it in his hand and pinching it non-stop.Look at my black and hard palm, and then pinch Ya'er's white, tender and soft chubby hand, how cute it looks, "Grandma, Ya'er's little hand is so soft, white and tender, look at it I just want to take a bite."

Upon hearing what the two brothers said, Grandma Du laughed and scolded, "You think Ya'er is like you two brats, but Ya'er is a little girl. However, even grandma wants to take a bite of Ya'er's little hand when she sees it. Is it delicious or not."

Before Grandma Du finished speaking, the brothers over there put Ya'er's little hand into their mouths and pretended to bite, "Well, it's really delicious, fragrant and tender, even better than the pig's trotters eaten during the Chinese New Year." Delicious", said while smacking his lips.

My aunt's house is not very far from my sister's house, and the distance of 7,8 or [-] miles is relatively flat road. When I arrived at the village, there were only a few farmhouses in the village with smoke from the chimneys. The big and the small are playing with bead (that is, glass beads). At this time, anyone who has a glass bead is a big deal, and they usually cherish it very much.

Dajiang had the sharpest eyes, and shouted at one of the most excited half-children, "Brother Dahai, let's see that my aunt is here, grandma, uncle, and Ya'er are also here." Two miles. [

The middle-aged boy took a look, and it was really him who called him, and he didn't care about his own beads, so he said to one of the kids, "You kid, play for me, and send the beads back to me when you're done playing", and then He yelled at the bullock cart, "Grandma, I'll go home and tell my mother that I'll pick you up again." Before everyone could respond, he ran back to the village in a hurry.

When the ox cart arrived at the door of the aunt's house, the aunt, uncle, Dahai, and Xiaohai were all waiting at the door.The eldest aunt saw that her old mother was also on the bullock cart, so she hurried forward to help her, "Mother, why are you here, and you didn't send a message in advance, so I can ask Dayou to pick you up." He jumped off the bullock cart by himself, and Ya'er was also carried down by Brother Da Da.

The eldest uncle Wang Dayou rubbed his hands and said quickly, "Mother, brother, hurry up and rest in the house, you're exhausted." He took the rope from Father Du's hand and drove the ox cart to the yard, and then got out of the ox cart. Feed the old scalper with the forage that Dad prepared for it.

Ya'er was carried into the yard by Brother Dahai. The yard of the aunt's house is also very large. The main house is three mud-walled thatched-roof houses, and a small kitchen is next to it.Although the main house looked a bit dilapidated from the outside, the inside of the house was tidy and clean by the aunt, and it didn't look cramped at all.Father Du and a few cousins ​​were busy moving all the things on the bullock cart into the main room, scattered, and everyone carried a pile in their hands.

The eldest aunt, who was talking to Grandma Du in the main room, saw so many things brought in, and said with a smile, "Mother, what are you doing? You just moved the whole family here, why did you bring so many things?" ".

Before Grandma Du could answer, Da Jiang, who put down his things, said, "Auntie, these are all brought to you by grandma. Just now, grandma also sent a lot of things to my mother. Auntie, are you like my mother, you also have children? It's baby."

"Yeah, next year you guys will be brothers and sisters again. Come to Ya'er, come to Auntie's place, and tell Auntie if she misses Auntie." The tail of the braid scratches Ya'er's little face.

"I miss my aunt, so I followed my grandma and dad to see my aunt. Does my aunt have a baby in her stomach like my sister's?" Ya'er looked curious.Judging by the actions and demeanor of the aunt, she is so agile, she doesn't look like a pregnant person at all. Pregnant women in the 21st century are all giant pandas, and they are the key protection objects. Those who are not careful all day long are afraid of bumping into them.

"You too, it's hard to get pregnant with this child, so you should be more careful when you do anything." Apparently, Grandma Du was also frightened by her daughter's quick movements, and couldn't help but criticize.

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter and I are as strong as a cow, so don't worry." The eldest aunt smiled heartily, not caring, and then said, "Mother, you haven't eaten yet, just right. I haven't made lunch yet, you wait for a while, and I'll cook right away. Bear with me, Auntie, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Grandma Du got up quickly, thinking of helping her. This girl lived in a separate family, but no one helped her cook.

When the aunt saw it, she quickly pushed Grandma Du down on the chair, "Mother, I don't need your help. I can just ask Dayou to help me light the fire. You have been running all morning, so sit down and rest quickly. Dahai, don't forget to give you Grandma and Uncle pour water to drink," and walked swiftly to the kitchen to get busy.

Auntie is really quick to do things, and the meal is ready in less than half an hour. Three dishes and one soup, pork belly stewed with dried beans, fried small fish, fried peanuts, and a pot of sleeve soup and a small dish Auntie's pickled chili sauce.

"Mother, brother, you are here at the right time today. I bought this pork when I went to the town for a physical examination two days ago, and I have never been willing to eat it. If you come back a few days later, I don't know what to take." I'm entertaining you," the aunt said, and she didn't forget to pick up vegetables for Ya'er.As for the other two nephews, she didn't need to greet them, the two had a great time eating.

"Auntie, the food you cook is better than my grandma's. It's very fragrant," said Xiao Jiang, swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Needless to say, with your stingy grandma, she must be reluctant to use oil in cooking." Before the aunt could finish her sentence, she was stared back by Grandma Du. How could she speak ill of her grandma in front of her children.

They're all from our own family, so you don't have to be polite to each other. In addition, it's a bit late for dinner, and everyone is hungry. In less than half an hour, three dishes, a pot of soup, and a basket of Zamian pancakes were eaten up. .The eldest aunt was not in a hurry to clean up, so she stacked the dishes together, casually put them in the basin to soak, and sat down to talk to the old lady.

"Mom, how do you know that both my sister and I are pregnant? I thought I'd tell you during the New Year's greetings." At this moment, the eldest aunt thought of this question belatedly.

"Didn't it happen that when Xiaosong went to the town to buy brown sugar yesterday, he happened to run into Boss Guo in our village, and asked him to bring us a message. Anyway, there is nothing at home recently, so I asked your elder brother to send me over Look at you. By the way, you should read what is written on these papers first. You should do what is written on them. I asked someone to ask you this.” Grandma Du wrote the rest of the pregnant women’s notes Take it to Auntie. [

The aunt took it over and took a look, "Mother, where did you get it? It's really troublesome. You can't eat this or make that. Does it really work? I didn't follow the above before, didn't I The same gave birth to the sea, Xiao Hai. You see, they are both as strong as calves now."The aunt looked at the densely packed notes written on the paper, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

"No, you have to do as written above. I asked an expert to write this. You were young when you were born in Dahai and Xiaohai. Now you are in your 30s. Can you compare with before?" Grandma Du said. Very tough.

"Okay, okay, mother, I will definitely do it," the aunt said perfunctorily.

Grandma Du still didn't understand her own daughter, so she told her eldest uncle directly, "Dayou, you can take a look at it later. Keep an eye on the peach blossoms in the future. If there is anything she doesn't pay attention to, please remind her."Although the eldest aunt has a straightforward personality, she listens to the honest and honest uncle very much, so the grandmother entrusts this task to the eldest uncle.

"Hey, I got it, mother. I will take good care of her." The eldest uncle made a serious promise. In fact, he himself felt that his daughter-in-law seemed to be a little careless and didn't pay attention to her body at all.

The eldest aunt was so stared at by Grandma Du that she dared not speak any more, so she could only look at the things brought by her old mother. After seeing it, it was incredible, "Mother, where did you get so many good things. You should take them back later." Well, you and Dad keep it for yourself, I am young and strong, so I don’t need to eat these good things, just leave the white flour and rice for me, and I usually cook porridge to drink.”

"Experts have said that these things are good for pregnant women. I brought them specially. Those dried fruits and apples seem to be able to supplement some nutrients. Eat more walnuts to give birth to smart children." Grandma Du told Zhang Zeyuan The set of parenting scriptures I mentioned was repeated again, "The harvest at home has been good in the past two years, and these are bought for my little grandson. The pheasants and rabbits are all harvested from the mountains, so you can eat with confidence."

Seeing what Grandma Du said, the aunt stopped quitting, "Hey, that is, God has given me a lot of face in the past two years, and the weather has been good. This year's harvest in our village is also good, and life is much better than in previous years. ", the aunt said with a smile on her face, very satisfied with the current life.

The four adults here are chatting about the harvest at home, while the five children over there are also chirping.Dahai, Xiaohai heard that Dajiang and Xiaojiang went back with grandma this time, the two exchanged glances, and without telling Auntie, they took Ya'er's little hand and took Dajiang and Dajiang to their house.

After entering their own territory, the two of them didn't care about talking, climbed onto the kang, opened the cabinet on the top of the kang, took out two clothes from the cabinet, and wrapped them in a bundle.Seeing Xiaohai's actions like this, several people looked at each other and smiled, knowing what they were going to do.The two cousins, Ya'er and Xiaojiang, covered them and asked them to put their burdens on the ox cart quickly.The little calculation of the two brothers is to make a clap, prepare their clothes, and even if their mother won't let them go to grandma's house, they can just jump on the bullock cart and leave.

Here, Grandma Du told Auntie a few more words, seeing that the sun was getting late, she said she wanted to go home.The aunt knew that the road was far away, so she didn't stay, so she quickly took out a small jar from the kitchen, which contained her pickled chili sauce.At noon, when I saw that Ya'er was not afraid of spicy food, she liked it very much, so I asked Grandma Du to take it home.

"Mom, why don't you let Ya'er stay at my house, and you can talk to me. The two boys at home are away all day, and it's strange for me to talk when I'm alone at home." Aunt Jian came out of the next room Ya'er's small appearance couldn't help asking.

"No, mother, we're going to her house with Ya'er today, and Dajiang and Xiaojiang are going too. We're going to play with Ya'er too." Before Grandma Du could speak, Brother Dahai spoke first.

"You two brats, go wherever you like, just leave Ya'er to me," the aunt scolded with a smile.

Four brothers, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly Dahai picked up Ya'er and rushed out of the yard, shouting as he ran, "Mother, we packed up the changed clothes and put them on the cattle cart. Ya'er is waiting for uncle at the entrance of the village, please take your time." The remaining three brothers followed suit and slipped out.

"You bastards, let's go, I can be clean for a few days too," the aunt couldn't laugh or cry.

"Just let Dahai and Xiaohai go back with me to live for a few days, just as Dajiang and Xiaojiang are going too. Let your elder brother send them back a few years ago. You don't have to miss them and take care of your body." Grandma Du couldn't bear it. After living and exhorting the carefree daughter, she got on the ox cart.

When the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village, the five children were waiting eagerly.The two younger cousins, like monkeys, climbed up before the ox cart stopped, and Ya'er was also carried onto the ox cart.There are two big and five small, and the bullock carts are full.Cheerful talking and laughing, accompanied by the afterglow that is gradually setting in the west, forms the most beautiful scenery on the country road in late autumn.
