In front of me were mountains and mountains, with no people around. The way Lao Yi was vomiting on the roadside seemed to be extremely disgusting, and the three middle-aged people in front of me were looking at each other with different expressions.
That woman must be Zhen Shu. Judging from their behavior just now, they must have known each other before, or they are old acquaintances. The three of them must have not seen each other for a long time. For a moment, they didn’t even know what to say. This
This feeling is probably incomprehensible to me at my current age. If Uncle Wen hadn't told me before that the purpose of this trip was to help others move their graves, this situation would really be like a gathering of old classmates.
Enemies who had been enemies for many years gathered together, speechless and choked.
Fortunately, it was Uncle Wen who broke the embarrassment. He said to Zhen Shu: "Time waits for no one. I'm a little afraid to recognize you."
Zhen Shu smiled, a little shy, and her expression suddenly changed to that of a young girl, but she still had that cheerful expression, and said to Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin: "Yes,
We are all old. Look at how many white hairs you both have, how come you are still the same as before? How many years have passed, do you two still..."
Uncle Lin suddenly interrupted her and said to her: "I'm happy today, so I won't mention it anymore."
Uncle Wen glanced at Uncle Lin sideways, but surprisingly did not try to challenge him, but said to Zhen Shu with the same smile: "By the way, I'll introduce you to two kids."
After saying that, he waved to me and told me to come over. I walked over and Uncle Wen patted me on the shoulder, just like a father patting a junior, and said to me: "Xiao Fei, this is your Aunt Zhen, scream quickly.
"
I bowed to Zhen Shu, smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Zhen, my name is Cui Zuofei."
Zhen Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you are such a polite child. Brother Wen, it seems that you have a successor."
When Uncle Wen heard what Zhen Shu said, he immediately felt that he had a special reputation. Then he turned to look at Uncle Lin, his eyes full of provocation and pride. Of course, Uncle Lin was not far behind. He looked at Lao Yi who was shouting at the roadside.
Said: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing? Come here quickly!"
Poor Lao Yi seems to be still suffering from motion sickness, and his face is extremely ugly, like a kohlrabi in the field in April or May. He heard the boss calling him, although he felt uncomfortable, he had to come over, so he wiped his mouth.
, walked over in three unsteady steps. Seeing Lao Yi's half-dead look, Uncle Lin suddenly became furious. He suppressed his anger and said to Lao Yi: "This is your Aunt Zhen, please bow and say hello."
Lao Yiqiang worked hard and smiled at Aunt Zhen, then bent down and bowed, and said: "Aunt Zhen, vomit~~~~~!!"
Lao Yi, a loser, bent over and vomited all sorts of things, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
Uncle Lin's old face twisted from four to eighty-thousand, while Uncle Wen was gloating about his misfortune and tried not to let himself laugh. Aunt Zhen looked at Lao Yi's painful look and quickly stepped forward to pat Lao Yi's cheek.
He shouldered his shoulder and said to him: "This kid must be motion sick. No wonder, this road is really difficult to walk on."
Uncle Lin sighed and cursed at Lao Yi: "This is a piece of shit."
Lao Yi smiled awkwardly, and at this time, Zhen Shu said to us: "Okay, stop training the children, let's go, we haven't eaten yet, wait until we get home."
We nodded, and Uncle Wen helped Aunt Zhen shake the four-wheeler. Then the four of us climbed into the big bucket at the back, and Zhen Shu drove us deeper into the mountain in the four-wheeler.
I have to say that when sitting on this four-wheeler, the two old guys returned to their original appearance, without even looking at each other. The road seemed to have become a little smoother, but it was even bumpier. The four of us sat on it and
Just like an earthquake, this is very painful for Lao Yi. He was already nauseous, but now it's like an electric shock, going up and down, up and down, up and down.
Seeing Lao Yi like this, I felt quite uncomfortable. I thought I should do something, so I took out a bottle of mineral water from my bag, unscrewed the cap, and secretly put my little finger in.
, while stirring things up, he said silently in his mind: Turn into motion sickness medicine, turn into motion sickness medicine.
Uncle Wen saw me getting water and knew that I was going to give it to Lao Yi. He originally stared at me, but when he saw me using the water to rinse my nails, he immediately smiled and looked at me with an expression that looked like he could pee on the mattress.
I smiled bitterly. The old toad at the bottom of the well really thought that I was hurting others and not benefiting myself, so I handed the bottle of water to Lao Yi. Speaking of which, Lao Yi had drank my nail polish remover many times, but he
He didn't know anything about it, but when he saw me giving him the water, he didn't think anything and took a sip.
Fortunately, Lao Yi got better after a while. The black nails produced by Huang Santai Nai Pharmaceutical Factory are really tried and true. Although I always try Lao Yi with the attitude of giving it a try, there really is no failure.
, I thought to myself, my black nails are really the nemesis of children with minor illnesses. Maybe the only things that cannot be cured are Lao Yi’s dementia and my athlete’s foot, which has been aged for more than 20 years.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lao Yi, I looked around again. The weather today was good, neither cold nor hot. I was in nature. The vegetation in the mountains sprouted much earlier than in the city. There were vegetation all around.
The breath makes people feel refreshed.
I just have a little doubt in my heart, that is, how did the Zhen family build their house into such a barren mountain? In fact, I heard Uncle Wen say yesterday that many villagers nearby have their homes on the mountain.
, when farming, we usually build shacks on the edge of the land, but according to Uncle Wen, since the Zhen family is very rich, naturally they cannot let us live in my shack.
Seeing the four wheels driving deeper and deeper into the mountain, my doubts became more and more serious. Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin occasionally said a few words to Aunt Zhen along the way, but they were all insignificant things that made me confused.
clue.
About an hour later, the car drove into a forest. The forest looked old and tall. There was a rutted road in the forest, which the four-wheel vehicle could just drive through.
After passing through the woods, I was surprised to see a spacious open space in front of me. There was a two-story building on the open space. I never expected that there was such a building in this barren mountain. The house looked similar to this one.
The trees on the mountain are all old. I have seen similar buildings before. Some of them are similar to the half-step buildings I saw in Yin City when I was young. They are all in the red brick style. The walls are
The house is covered with ivy and morning glory, and there is a small vegetable garden in front of the house, where seasonal vegetables are grown.
Lao Yi and I were both surprised. Although we knew in our hearts that the Zhen family couldn't let us live in a shack, the fact that they suddenly built a small foreign-style house was beyond our imagination.
Aunt Zhen parked the four-wheeler in an open space, and we jumped out of the car. These two old guys had obviously been here before. Uncle Wen flexed his muscles and then said to Aunt Zhen: "So many years have passed in a flash."
I really didn’t expect to be able to come to your ancestral home again, nothing has changed.”
Aunt Zhen smiled and said to Uncle Wen: "Yes, if we want to talk about changes, we are all getting older."
After saying this, the three people actually smiled bitterly, as if they had their own concerns. Uncle Lin asked Aunt Zhen: "Zhen Shu, are all your family members here now?"
Aunt Zhen nodded and said to us: "Well, we're all here. I'm just waiting for you two to set a date."
Uncle Wen snorted coldly and said to Aunt Zhen: "What about your third child? Is he here?"
I don’t know why, but after hearing Uncle Wen’s words, Aunt Zhen’s expression became very complicated. She sighed and said, “Go inside first, my dad and the others are waiting for you.
Let’s talk some more. The children are probably hungry too, so let’s go inside and eat first.”
I have to say, this Aunt Zhen is really nice, at least what she says is pleasant to listen to. Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin nodded, then looked at each other with contempt, and we followed Aunt Zhen into the house.
The room is quite spacious, it's true. After entering the room, I observed it first, but the furniture seemed to be from before liberation. There was even a portrait of Mao Zedong on the wall. With the changes of the times,
It has faded, and there is a line of calligraphy underneath the portrait that reads, "The east wind prevails over the west wind."
There is a big table in the middle of the room. There are several people sitting around the table. They are no longer young. Sitting on both sides of the table, there is an old man sitting in the front seat. He looks really old. He has a gray beard and all his hair is falling out.
When the light was gone, he looked at us coming in and nodded to Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin.
The middle-aged men stood up quickly and said to Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin: "Brother Wen, Brother Lin, long time no see. How are you two?"
Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin snorted in unison, as if they were very disdainful of these people, and just asked me and Lao Yi to sit next to them, and then these two old guys sat next to the old man.
The old man's eyes seemed a little troubled. He looked at Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin and said excitedly: "Xiao Wen and Xiao Shengzi are here?"
The two magic sticks are not young anymore, but when they looked at the old man and heard him calling them "Xiao Wen" and "Xiao Shengzi", their expressions still looked emotional. Uncle Wen nodded and said to that
The old man said: "Well, Uncle Zhen, I'm here. I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you doing?"
The old man sighed and said to Uncle Wen: "Let's work together. Anyway, I only have a few years to live. This time my children accompanied me to this old house, and I don't want to leave. My children are filial, but it's just a hardship for the big girl."
Already."
After hearing the old man's words, the expressions of the two magicians suddenly changed again, as if they remembered something they didn't want to think of.
Lao Yi and I were basically confused and couldn't understand what they were talking about. At this time, several middle-aged women walked out of the back room, dressed similarly to the middle-aged men around us.
, they are all very decent and noble, they must be their wives.
The middle-aged women put the dishes on the table and greeted Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin. The two magicians didn't know why and ignored them.
The old man went on to say: "The dishes are all served, please sit down. Xiaowen and Xiaoshengzi came to see me today. I am very happy. By the way, where is the third child? Why didn't you see him? Where are the others?"
An uncle on my right said to the old man: "Dad, the third brother has something to do and can't come. Let's eat together. It's not easy for Brother Wen and Brother Lin to come, but they have to stay for two more days."
.”
Uncle Wen didn't seem to be interested in these middle-aged people. I saw his eyes full of contempt, and he said to the old man: "Uncle Zhen, I can't stay here for long. I'll leave after I finish my business."
Going back."
The old man obviously didn't understand what Uncle Wen said. He asked Uncle Wen: "What are you talking about and what are you doing?"
Hearing what the old man said, the two magicians felt that something was wrong. Didn't you ask us to help your family move the grave? Could it be that the old man was confused? No, both of them were here.
People who have been in society for a long time knew that there was something wrong, but they did not speak. Instead, they looked at the middle-aged man next to me who just spoke.
I saw the middle-aged man approaching Uncle Wen and whispering: "The old man doesn't know, Brother Wen, let's talk about it after dinner."
Since I was right next to Uncle Wen, I also heard this sentence. Uncle Wen snorted, glanced at the man, and then at Aunt Zhen who was sitting next to him. He didn't say anything. When the dishes were ready, we started
Start eating and drinking.
Lao Yi was so sick that he almost vomited out his bile just now. Now that he is better, his appetite has come along with it. He ate greedily, while I looked at the people here and thought to myself, this time the so-called
