Green Apricot

After I got home, my mother asked me about my uncle, and said that there were only so many uncles, and after 40 years old, even people who walked on their stomachs would not come here.

And said some things that were frustrating to my uncle, and after she finished nagging, I asked, "Mom, do you know Pu Tianming?"

When my mother heard the name, she looked at me with wide eyes and said, "How do you know him?".

"Didn't he come to our house?" At this time, the second sister came over and said loudly to my mother.

"Qing Xing and that person had a special conversation."

The mother didn't understand what the second sister meant, and said, "He is the son of a cousin of your grandmother's family."

"That person came that day, and I didn't see what you called him."

"Well, this Qingxing has been around for dozens of generations, so what is it called?"

"I saw him at my grandmother's house today, look, these are the books he gave me"

The second sister said, "Oh, Qing Xing, I think he treats you well, and he is rich, otherwise, you can recognize him as a godfather."

"Godfather, a stupid person like Qing Xing still recognizes him as a godfather?"

The second sister said, "I said, what's the matter with you? In the past, when people came to the house, they would hide away. What's the matter today? I just came here once and talked to them, and now I'm still inquiring about their affairs?"

"It's not that I'm inquiring about people, it's not that I want to talk to them, it's that they insist on talking to me, and I became acquainted when we met again today, isn't it strange?"

As soon as I said this, the second sister, my mother, and I covered our stomachs with laughter, and said, "Hey, Master Qingxing, you have such a big face, people insist on talking to you? After all, I am not afraid of dogs climbing trees." !”.

Fortunately, they didn't think about that.I went back to the house and sorted out all the books I got from Uncle Tianming.Some are very old and very old books, such as "Sunny Sky", "Wanshan Red", "Sparkling Red Star".

I put all those books aside, and two brand new notebooks.One is only half written, full of numbers and symbols I don't understand, probably notes from some strange class.

And the other only wrote four or five articles, full of words.

I probably looked at some deeds about his friends and children.A bit like prose, and a bit like a novel.

I don't know where it was copied from, or he wrote it himself.Anyway, take it as a gift from him.I wrapped it in a plastic bag.Then wrap it with transparent glue and put it under the pillow.

The rest are messy newspapers and scribbled scraps of paper for my mother.

At this time, my eldest mother (dialect: uncle's daughter-in-law) knocked on the door of my house.The kitchen said to my mother and second sister: "It's done, it's done."

Mother said: "Is it agreed?"

"Promise, the log will be at the end of this year."

"That's just right, those who went out to work have returned, there are also people who pick up the relatives, and there are also people who accompany the man."

"That's right, when will Qingfeng (second sister's name) leave?"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, at least we have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over before leaving."

As soon as I heard this, I probably knew that the eldest son of my aunt's family was going to take a wife.I heard that several of them were introduced before, so I talked about it.

It was less than a month this time, and he only visited the woman's house once before he settled the matter.Really fast.Although my cousin is sick, my uncle and aunt both eat public meals in Anshun.Finding a daughter-in-law is not difficult.

It's not like the few of us who are burdened by this credit union. The usury has rolled from two to three hundred principal and interest to seven to eight thousand.

The eldest son of my second uncle’s family has difficulty finding a wife because of this. He is old, has foreign debts at home, and he himself is uneducated. He is only in the fourth grade of elementary school, and he is always looked down upon when he goes out to do things.So it has been dragging on until the age of marriage.
