Old days (1)

Niu'er Niu'er got up!

Who is it?

Whose girl is called?

She opened her eyes and scared the woman sitting next to her: Damn girl, I scared your mother. You are so terrified that you are so terrified! You get up, who are you scared? Does your head hurt?

Lin Yutong subconsciously touched her head, and it hurt!

It hurts really!

Is it true that you are still a tiger? The woman's big hand patted her back, and Lin Yutong suddenly grinned, and it hurts!

It hurts, right? It hurts! It deserves it! The woman used a small broom to sweep the kang with a small broom, and moved under the kang. After getting off the kang, she said: Just lie down and don’t get up!

As he spoke, he opened the half-drawn door curtain and went out. Lin Yutong looked at the shaking door curtain, then pressed her forehead, looking up and down.

A house with adobe, you can see a slightly black roof that is lying on the kang. This house has no mud roof. It is not difficult to judge from the mud on it. This is a thatched house!

The beams in the house looked like they were not good wood. The colors turned black and brown. The key was the scars and bending on them. You can tell at a glance that the wood was either used for waste or used as material for firewood.

I touched my body and saw a mattress, which was made of cotton, but it should be old cotton, and it was not gentle when I touched. After I moved my hand, the touch changed. It was a mat made of reeds. Usually, the thing on the kang should be covered, and the bedding would only be unfolded when I was sleeping.

Opening my eyes, I saw that there were patches on the quilt, and black and gray fabrics were pieced together. Fortunately, it looked clean, and there was only the smell of sun on the quilt.

It can be tolerated for the time being.

Thinking of this, she remembered the woman she had just now. She was wearing a gray side-necked jacket, black big crotch pants, leggings, and patched old-fashioned cloth shoes.

This dress up?

Lin Yutong patted her forehead. When was this dress?

I was confused when I heard someone talking outside the window. It was the voice of a young man: Mom, no matter what, we can't accept the land deed. Qian Laojin was a person who wanted to get into the money. How could he take out so many land deeds for his son to be a betrothal gift? Besides, Qian Siyuan was studying in a university in Beijing and had never seen any world before? Why did he fall in love with our Hu Niu? Good guy, he gave our family a hundred acres of land as soon as he left. Where can I find this good thing? Besides, isn't Hu Niu unwilling to do it?

Land deed?

After liberation, this thing slowly withdrew from the stage of history. Moreover, after liberation, no one has a hundred acres of land that can be given to people at will, right?

Then can this time move forward before dividing, before liberation?

Probably!

There is also Qian Siyuan studying for a university in Beijing, and what about a university?

She listened to the outside talking with her ears, and then the woman who had just left the house said: You have to say this. You think your mother is stupid! No matter how urgent your brother's marriage is, I can't sell your sister. Just like you said, no advantage is taken for nothing, Qian Laojin's old thing will be calculating. Don't worry about this, your milk has already gone to Qian's house. This matter cannot be done!

The boy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and asked: Where is the tiger girl?

Is there lying in the room? The woman's voice was a bit sad. You said this dead girl is the same! You say it's a tiger or not! If others like to say it, just go, and they even have sex with others. This time I fell very hard.

Lin Yutong lay on the kang for three seconds and finally realized: After making trouble for a long time, this tiger girl is me.

Ouch! Oh my god!

I lay in a daze for a long time and finally something happened in my mind.

However, there are not many useful things. Because this girl, who is already sixteen years old, has never left the village since she grew up. She doesn’t know a single word, except for knowing people at home, they know people in the village. Then there is the little thing about feeding pigs and chickens to grow a few acres of land.

Nothing else!

I just thought about finding out which year it was from this memory. But how could such a girl know the year except for caring about how much she can eat for three meals a day?

It was getting dark and the room became lively. She couldn't lie down anymore and stood up and leaned against the kang.

A clean and tidy old lady burned a fire in front of the stove by the kang. When she saw Lin Yutong getting up, she smiled: Girl woke up? She had eaten, wake up. Do you still have a headache?

Lin Yutong shook her head, this should be the grandmother of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin.

As Mrs. Lin said, she stuffed the firewood under the stove.

Egg? What eggs should I eat? My mother Chang Qiuyun lifted the curtain and came in. She was wearing a handful of dried vegetables in her apron on her waist, and she kept it tightly with one hand. The bowl was not big, and it was half a bowl of corn noodles. Lin Yutong said at a glance: What kind of hard work has been made, but when she put the apron in her hand on the chopping board on the side, she took out an egg from her pocket, lifted the lid of the pot, saw that the water was boiling, and then knocked the egg and put it in the big bowl, scooped a scoop of water into the bowl. In an instant, the egg became floc. The woman squatted under the chopping board and turned out a jar, scooped out half a spoonful of black stuff and put it in the egg water.

Lin Yutong sniffed: it should be brown sugar.

After carefully putting the candy jar, Chang Qiuyun took another bowl and divided the egg sugar water into two bowls, one bowl on the kang beside Lin Yutong, and the other bowl on the stove to burn the fire for the old lady Lin: Mom, hurry up, drink it.

Why should I drink it? It hurts toothache! Old Mrs. Lin doesn’t drink it.

Chang Qiuyun put the big rice spoon heavily on the edge of the pot with a "clang" and said: Just drink it! When you are really sick, you have to rely on me to serve you to eat, drink, defecate and urinate? You have to drink it!

Old Mrs. Lin didn't dare to say a word, and she picked it up and poured it on while it was getting hot.

Chang Qiuyun looked at Lin Yutong with his eyes "swoosh": What's wrong? He asked me to feed you!

Lin Yutong silently looked at the rice spoon she raised and her wide eyes, then took a sip. The eggs were good eggs, which should be the eggs that were taken from under the chicken's butt, fresh. But this good egg water was not very delicious after putting a spoonful of brown sugar. The brown sugar was a bit sour.

The fishy smell of eggs and the sweet and sour taste of expired brown sugar are really unsatisfactory.

She was like taking medicine, and was washing dried vegetables. She put them into the pot and looked here. She said to the old lady Lin in front of the stove: Mom, look at this tiger girl, she looks like the young lady in the city brought back by the son of the Qian family's college student.

Old Lady Lin turned her face and looked at it. Lin Yutong was holding a bowl and didn't know whether to drink it or not. Then the old lady said: It's much more handsome than that girl. That girl just relied on her good clothes and dressed up fashionablely. My Niu Niu is pitiful. If his father was at home, our Niu Niu could raise her like a young lady, and she would go to school.

It’s good! Chang Qiuyun curled his lips, can we not mention him? A cruel and unconscientious short-lived ghost.

He cursed people, but his hands were skillfully moving, stirring the dried vegetables in the pot, then pouring water into the corn flour, stirring it into a paste and pouring it into the pot, and stirring it constantly.

Here was shouting and having a meal, and the curtain was lifted up, and two young men of similar age walked in.

A smiling face and a voice Lin Yutong was very familiar with. It was the boy talking outside the window in the afternoon. He smiled and came over. Niu Niu, are you awake?

Seeing that he was smiling pleasantly, Lin Yutong handed over the sugar water from the bowl and looked at him with a smile.

This is the second brother Lin Dayao, who is only one year older than Hu Niu, and is now seventeen. Another tall and strong young man, who is eighteen. He is the eldest brother of the family, named Lin Dayuan.

Lin Dayao was stunned for a moment, turned his back and saw that I was cutting pickles. He took it and took a few sips. Before he could swallow it clean, Lin Dayuan slapped him on the head, choking him and coughing.

Brother, what are you doing? Lin Dayao raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and then looked at Chang Qiuyun, Mom, look at my brother, always bullying me.

Lin Dayuan glared: You are coaxing Hu Niu to eat again? Is it true that you dare to kill you next time?

I don’t! Lin Dayao screamed and said, it was Niu Niu who gave it to me!

OK! Chang Qiuyun put the pickled vegetables heavily on the kang table, washed his hands and ate! Each one was a debt collector.

The vegetables are dried and paste for one person and a bowl of vegetables, and there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Just a plate of cut pickles on the table can add flavor.

It's not ordinary hard to swallow!

Lin Yutong ate slowly, listening to Lin Dayao's speech in his ears. His voice was low, and I just said, why did the Qian Laojin family use so many places to say something as a betrothal gift? It's just that they are not at ease! Haven't you heard of it? Yixian said that it was a resignation, and the landlord was the one who fought against it.

How to fight? Chang Qiuyun asked: How can I really divide the fields?

Not that good? Lin Dayuan took half a bowl of water in a few bites. I also heard that our county is probably going to be soon. Qian Laojin is very informed, and his son who has seen the world

Then isn’t this sincerely cheating our family? Chang Qiuyun said angrily that Mrs. Lin, mom, what are you talking about? It’s hard to tear your face. Such bad seeds should be fought!

Why are you arguing? Old Mrs. Lin sighed. It was because Dayuan was not good. If he fell in love with someone's daughter, he would fall in love with the old Cheng family. Who is the old Cheng family? Look, whoever married Minnie would have to be a cow for the family named Cheng. If the Cheng family hadn't asked for a betrothal gift, then the Qian family knew that we were in a hurry to use the money, so they would be moved to touch Hu Niu?

This is also true!

The whole family sees Lin Dayuan.

Lin Dayuan buried his head in the bowl and said nothing.

Chang Qiuyun was angry: I'll leave my words here, no girl from any family can do it. That's not the case. The Cheng family is only one girl, and they are planning to take care of their parents. I have two sons, but none of them is unnecessary. I don't have money to marry a wife, even if I ask my son to be a bachelor, I just don't take care of you. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of your father?

Mom! Lin Dayuan put the bowl on the bowl, got up and got off the kang, and said, "What are you doing?" Don't mention it in the future. Why don't you take out the betrothal gift?

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Walking through the main hall, it was the room where two boys slept.

Chang Qiuyun's face was gloomy. When he turned his face and saw his daughter eating and taking poison, he scolded: If you want to eat, eat it, and if you don't eat it, put it down. Those who don't know would think I have put rat medicine in your bowl!

OK! This is not going well.

Lin Yutong pushed the bowl and stopped eating it. She was not too hungry. The main reason was that she really couldn't eat it. She had to adapt.

Chang Qiuyun didn't know what he muttered and got up and washed the dishes. The old lady opened the box, whispered for a long time, took out a piece of snack to give it to Lin Yutong: Eat quickly. Don't let your mother see it, it's going to be quarrel again.

Dim sum is an ordinary dim sum, a bit hard, with green and red shredded shreds and peanut seeds inside, which should have white sugar. Of course, it is better to eat than the dried and paste vegetable.

After stuffing it in a few bites, the old lady touched Lin Yutong's face: Poor Niu Niu, I have never seen your father's face since I was born.

As soon as Chang Qiuyun looked up, the old lady stopped talking, but only helped her granddaughter wipe off the desserts from the corner of her mouth.

The person who ate this thing was a little choked. Chang Qiuyun coughed lightly and placed a bowl of boiling water on the kang.

Lin Yutong knew that it was stealing and catching a bag. She reached out and picked up the bowl and drank the water. Chang Qiuyun collected the bowl. She said, "Old Mrs. Lin, don't always spoil her." In her own home, can we spoil her. Who spoil her when we go out?

Even if you are not used to being at home, and no one will get used to being away from home. Old Mrs. Lin said: It’s not even more pitiful.

I didn't waste the lamp oil after talking a few words, and I blew the lamp to sleep.

Three women have a room and a kang. Lin Yutong slept on the warmest kang. The old lady was sleeping in the middle, and Chang Qiuyun slept on the tip of the kang.

No one spoke, Lin Yutong also slowed down her breathing and tried her best to digest the news she got today. Just as she was about to be in a daze, she heard the voice of Mrs. Lin: Are you talking about Baichuan still alive?

Chang Qiuyun turned over and stared at the other side, but made a half-sleeping and half-awake speech. Who knows? If you don’t have a definite letter, don’t show your mouth. Just say that you have been beaten to death by the Japanese, don’t say you’re missing!

Isn’t this the Communist Party going to fight back? Old Mrs. Lin choked up and said, “Baichuan has been gone for seventeen years. If I don’t come back, I’m afraid I will never see you in this life.
