Riding a donkey back to 60s

The weather in June is getting hotter day by day. Mother Xia is staying at home these days, feeling a little bored, so she entrusts someone to catch some chickens and ducks to raise them, because the commune has issued a document that every family now raises poultry There is a fixed number, Xiaoguohua Xiaoguoxiu will dig some earthworms to feed the chickens and ducks every day after school, but it makes the few in the family grow very fat and not too tired.This afternoon when Xia Ye brought Li Liqiu into the door, he heard the creaking and screaming in the yard, which made the usually quiet courtyard a lot more lively. Looking at the chicken coop and duck shed next to the east wing, Xia Ye I was happy, and I said in my heart that the craftsmanship of building a nest is really good.

Xia Ye shouted: "Mom, who built this chicken coop, it's really good! I just watched these little chicks grow fast! Are they ready to lay eggs?"

Xia's mother was picking beans in the yard, and said with a smile: "The chicken coop was built by Xiao Shishi and Xiao Erhei. Those two children are quite tight in their work, and they will be built in a while! This little chicken, The two children of Xiao Guohua are very careful. I said that when the chicken lays eggs, steam egg cakes for them, and the two little ones will find worms for the chicken. Look at the three chicks that they let them feed I'm almost overwhelmed!" Xia Ye tied up the car, took off the meat and pastries hanging from the handlebars, and walked to the kitchen!

Li Liqiu also took off the pannier she was carrying, and happily ran to Mother Xia: "Mother, look, there are cans of milk powder and beef! There are several cans!"

Xia's mother looked at it, she was very curious, put down the beans in her hand, took a can of canned beef and looked at it carefully: "Oh! Where did this thing come from? This is a precious thing! There is no such thing in our supply and marketing cooperative. This guy!"

Li Liqiu proudly said to Xia's mother: "Our Yewa took it home! I brought it back today to make up for my mother! It seems that it was mailed by a friend she met when she was on a business trip!"

Mother Xia is not as simple as Li Liqiu. The label at the bottom of this thing represents something. It is obviously not so easy to get. What kind of friend can mail such a thing?

Xia's mother continued to pick beans: "Qiu, get some for your mother later, her skinny body! Let her mend it, my body is strong, so I don't need mending! You also persuade her, don't give it to Shuqin. After eating, she herself lost weight, and if Shuqin ate too much, it may not be a good thing! I ate too much, and the belly is big, and I panicked when I looked at it!"

At this time, Xia Ye put away her things, rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and began to wash her face. Listening to Xia Mu's words, she wiped her face with a towel and said, "The stomach is too big? Is your sister-in-law about to give birth?"

Xia's mother thought about it: "It's not even a month yet! At least there is still more than a month! But your mother-in-law fed that stomach too much! I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth then!"

Xia Ye was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Uh, the mother over there should know what's going on, right? If it doesn't work, hurry up and persuade her to go to the county hospital to give birth! It's safer to have a doctor!"

Li Liqiu was also worried, and continued to say: "My mother doesn't worry about others, she is too careful! You forgot last time, I want to help take care of you, but she hates me for being in the way. I feel that she is a little nervous Too much!"

Xia Ye shook her head: "Let's not mention this, mother, I'm hungry, what are you doing tonight? Let me do it!"

Xia's mother listened and smiled: "You two are riding a bicycle for more than two hours without getting tired? Forget it! You both go back to the house and rest! I will exercise my hands and feet, stew some beans and mix it with cold dishes. Let's serve dinner! The national flowers and the others will all be back, just in time!" Xia Ye and Li Liqiu had no choice but to go back to the house to rest.

After the family had dinner, Xia Ye sat in his room with Xia Mu, Xiao Guohua and the others were doing their homework in Xia Mu's room, and Li Liqiu took the things she brought back from the county to watch while it was still bright. Li Qiuniang.

Xia's mother caught Xia Ye and asked: "Yewa, tell mother what happened to the canned beef?"

Xia Ye frowned: "What's going on? Mom, I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Xia's mother held the hand of the shoe upper and said, "You came out of my stomach. I don't know you yet. It's not that mother is illiterate. The word "military confession" is clear and clear. You still have to talk to mother. play dumb?"

Xia Ye's hand holding the bowl and drinking water stopped, Xia Mu looked at it, and smiled: "Do you think that mother sometimes doesn't care about everything and is just a fool? But mother's eyes are not blind, and her heart is even more so." Bright! Tell me! Last time I came back from the capital, I thought you had something on your mind!"

Xia Ye looked up at Mother Xia, thinking about the well-preserved Wang Family Letter, she felt that she had overlooked something!So she said to Xia's mother: "No! Mother, I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't know how to tell you, I'm afraid you will be sad again!"

Mother Xia put down the uppers of her shoes, looked Xia Ye up and down, and smiled with satisfaction: "You are more and more like your father! You don't like to talk about things at home! Tell me! Is there anything mother can't bear What about it? As long as you're doing well, Mom won't be afraid of anything!"

Xia Ye looked at Mother Xia who was looking at her lovingly, coughed, and organized her words in her mind: "Mother, do you still remember what Grandpa Third said? Dad wasn't born to grandma, right?"

Mother Xia nodded suspiciously: "Well, I remember that!"

Xia Ye looked at Xia's mother quietly: "I was found by my grandparents in the capital!"

Mother Xia narrowed her eyes, and then nodded with a smile after a while: "That's the end of the story! It's right to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, so don't think about it! After all, we should pay back the affection from the old Xia's family." I paid it back too! Your father helped them a lot during his lifetime, so your father should have died in peace under the spring. Now that we have found your grandparents, let's go to your father's grave tomorrow and tell him about the happy event! "

Xia Ye didn't expect her to feel that it was a big deal, and Xia's mother could be so calm when she heard it: "Mother, don't you ask what your grandparents do? Don't you ask anything else?"

Xia's mother smiled: "What are you asking? Whether your grandparents are poor or rich has nothing to do with us, just be normal. Let's not worry about them when they are well, and don't alienate them when they are bad! You! Work hard! Don't worry about it. What nonsense are you thinking about!"

Xia Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, I was raised by you, how can I be the kind of person who misses other people's things?" Suddenly Xia Ye realized that Xia's mother has always handled things in her own way. His attitude was just ignored by Xia Ye!Xia Ye thought that maybe she didn't fully understand the past.But thinking of another matter, Xia Ye's heart was blocked again. After thinking about it, he mustered up the courage to say it: "Mother, I actually have something else here, and I want to explain it to you!"

Xia's mother was startled suddenly, feeling that this matter might break her heart, she paused: "Say it! Listen, mother!"

Xia Ye turned around and went back to her own room, pretending to take out something from the room, and handed it to Xia Mu, Xia Mu opened it, her eyes narrowed, her hands were shaking wildly: "Ye Wa, you, where did you come from? "One hand was clenched tightly, and the other hand was firmly grasping Xia Ye's arm.

"It was found on a skeleton in a cave. Didn't I always go hunting in the mountains! One day I accidentally found it!" Xia Ye lied.

"The bones in the cave? Do you remember where?" Mother Xia looked at Xia Ye with tears in her eyes!

Xia Ye stared at Xia's mother: "I've collected it, thinking that this thing is similar to what my mother gave to Li Qiu! I took it down! Mother..."

Mother Xia picked up the bracelet and said to Xia Ye: "Yes, you are right! That skeleton belongs to your father! I think you will have doubts when you take it off!"

Seeing Xia Ye nodding, Xia's mother clenched the bracelet and retracted it to her chest sadly, muttering to herself.

After a while, Mother Xia looked at the chain carefully, then gently took Xia Ye's hand and put it in Xia Ye's hand: "Yeba, put it away carefully, you must put it away carefully. This is the best gift your father can give you! How much he wants to see you grow up! I think the days when your father was there are so beautiful! When I was pregnant with you, I always liked to eat sour, Every night, if I vomit, I want to eat sour food, and I always beg your father to find me something to suppress this gluttony. How can there be anything to eat at that time? Your father doesn’t go to the mountains during the day for that sour food. Looking for sour dates is to sneak into the jar of sauerkraut pickled by your grandma in the middle of the night, steal a whole sauerkraut for me, wash it secretly, and satisfy my mother's gluttony! Once, your grandma caught me and gave me a good meal!" While talking about Xia's mother's face shining brightly, she smiled with tears in her eyes.

Xia's mother paused for a moment and continued: "Later! I think it's too much for me to toss your father so much? Just tell your father to forget it, don't look for it, I won't be sour! Then your father is still not happy, You have to tell me, sour and hot girl, I like sour food so much, you must be a stinky boy in the stomach, you can make troubles like this, if you come out, I will give you a good slap! How hard it is to toss around day and night! He said that since his son likes to make trouble at night so much, he should call him Ye'er! That day he brought back a piece of red silk, divided it into two halves, and weaved two bracelets. With one, he repeatedly told me that one day he would pass the bracelet on to you and your future daughter-in-law! It’s best to pass it on forever!” Mother Xia’s tears rolled down her face as she spoke, but the smile on her face was even stronger. is bright.

Xia Ye was silent, gently picked up the handkerchief, and wiped it for Xia Mu, who held Xia Ye's hand: "Yewa, don't blame mother! Mother is selfish, when your father left, I died I have my heart! But I thought I couldn’t die! I wanted to leave him a queen, so I hid it from everyone and let you be a boy! Although there is a reason for your milk, but now I am facing this bracelet , I can't lie to you, let alone your father, Ye'er is my and your father's hope!"

Xia Ye heard the dull pain in her heart, and felt a little sad for Xiao Xia Ye, but what Xia's mother did made her survive, Xia Ye tremblingly said: "But, if you don't like it..."

Xia's mother rubbed Xia Ye's face: "My Ye baby has been tempered so much, how could he not be strong? You are just like your father, I have always believed in it! I believe in the book in the clan even more. There is a person who inherits the legend of that book, and since it is in my hands, it will definitely continue..."

Xia Ye looked at the frenzy in Xia's mother's eyes, and thought inwardly, thinking that it's a good thing he came!Fortunately, I know ancient Chinese and can understand that book!If he didn't come, it would be really hard to tell if it was Xiao Xiaye instead.

"Mother, don't be sad..." Xia Ye was about to say something, but stopped again.

Mother Xia got down from the kang and said to Xia Ye: "Yeba! Don't say anything! If you have time, go get your father's bones back and bury him properly! It will not be in vain for you father and daughter." !" Xia Ye nodded after listening.

Mother Xia wiped her eyes: "Yeba, rest! I'm going back to the house! I'll tell you something later! Mother is a little tired now!" Said and staggered towards the door, Xia Ye hurriedly followed a few steps, helped Xia's mother, and when Xia's mother walked out of the house, she didn't have to see her off. Xia Ye watched Xia's mother enter her room before returning to sit on the kang, recalling Looking at the conversation just now, he quietly thought about his own affairs.
