The most profound thing Liu Lang remembered from his previous life when he was a child was going to his grandma's house to play. The feeling of letting himself go was definitely the best memory of his childhood. Even in his nearly forty years of life, that kind of joyful
Nothing can replace memories.
Liu Lang's grandma's home is in a rural area. It is said to be a rural area, but in fact it can only be regarded as a suburb. It is only about six or seven kilometers away from Liu Lang's home. However, in this era, there has not been a lot of urban construction, and even the widest road is only a dozen meters wide.
, and they are all dirt roads. You can stand on the side of the road for a long time without seeing a car passing by. Riding a bicycle on such a road is better when the weather is good, but it will be miserable when the weather is bad.
It just snowed in Fucheng a few days ago. After a few days, there is still thick snow on the road. After all, there is no obligation to clear snow in this era.
Liu Lang's father was riding the Forever 28 bicycle, and his mother was holding Liu Lang in the back seat. The journey first passed through a snow-covered road, and then the road became narrower and narrower after leaving the city.
, it is only three or four meters wide in the end, but this road passes through a muddy swamp. If it is summer, there will be grass more than half a meter high on both sides. You can still see many graves in the depths of the muddy swamp. If no one dares to walk at night
this road.
After crossing this muddy swamp, you have to cross an iron bridge that is more than ten meters long. Below is a frozen stream with many people playing on the ice. After crossing this bridge, walk another kilometer.
Only then can we see a series of low houses, and Liu Lang's grandma's family lived here.
From Liu Lang's home to his grandma's home, the short distance of six or seven kilometers took an hour. Sometimes Liu Lang's father couldn't ride uphill and had to ask his mother to come down to help. The journey could hardly be described as a trek through mountains and rivers.
However, when they entered the courtyard of grandma's house, Liu Lang's parents were sweating profusely, and the sweat on their foreheads evaporated into mist in the cold air.
"My grandson is here!"
Grandma and grandpa came out of the house to welcome Liu Lang, followed by Liu Lang's uncle, aunt, second uncle, third uncle, old uncle, second aunt and old aunt. By the way, there were also the uncle's son and daughter.
The native dog also followed.
Grandma and grandpa also have many children and grandchildren, a total of four sons and three daughters. Liu Lang's mother is the second eldest child in the family and is currently the only urban employee with a city registered permanent residence.
"Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, you are here, hurry up, come in and warm yourself up!"
The thirteen-year-old aunt was the first to rush over and took the New Year's goods from the eldest sister's hand.
"Let me see this genius nephew!"
The second uncle took Liu Lang from the eldest sister's arms.
"Hello, second uncle!"
These uncles and aunts had all gone to the city to visit Liu Lang before, so it was not too abrupt for Liu Lang to say hello.
"Oh! You can call me uncle when you are less than one year old. Little guy, do you know me?"
Several others immediately came over.
"Hello, uncle, third uncle, old uncle, second aunt, and old aunt!"
Liu Lang immediately came to greet everyone.
"Haha, what a genius, what a genius!"
Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this.
After entering the house, the heat hit our faces immediately. The family gathered around Liu Lang and his family to chat for a while and then started their "work".
The eldest uncle and the second uncle took Liu Lang's father to sit on the kang, set up a kang table and started playing poker. The third uncle and the old uncle were eyeing each other behind, and Liu Lang's grandfather put on spectacles and started playing poker with him.
The fortunes for the coming year were being "foretold", and the women began to prepare for lunch.
Liu Lang was sitting on the earthen bed. He had not experienced this feeling for nearly twenty years.
The earthen kang in my grandma's house is too big. It can accommodate seven or eight people. If it is more crowded, even ten people can lie down. Children like Liu Lang can run on the kang. In the previous life, until
When Liu Lang was in college, his grandmother's family lived in this mud house. Although it was low and simple, you could see a large garden outside through the window.
It is winter now, and there is nothing in the garden. But if spring comes, grandma and grandpa will plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits in this garden, such as onions, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, pears, hawthorns, jujubes, etc. In autumn,
Every garden is full of harvest scenes, and it becomes Liu Lang's paradise. Every time he comes, he picks a lot of fruits.
However, Liu Lang's favorite thing is summer. During the summer vacation when he was a child, Liu Lang lived at his grandma's house and played wildly with a group of children of similar age around him every day, fishing in the river, picking mushrooms in the woods, and sometimes playing in the mountains.
If you see a wild rabbit, a group of half-grown children will chase it. At the end of the day, all the children will turn into donkeys and be as tired as dead dogs. After sleeping, they will be full of energy the next day.
The reason why Liu Lang likes to stay at his grandma's house is, firstly, because there are mountains and rivers here, which are not comparable to those in the city. Secondly, as an only child, he has had an inexplicable feeling of loneliness since he was a child, living in the city.
There was no brother or sister around him who was as old as him, and at his grandma's house, Liu Lang finally found a child about the same age as himself.
The eldest brother and eldest sister of my uncle's family are only four or five years older than me, so they can barely be considered the same age. These two guys are still stupid and don't say anything when they look at Liu Lang, their cousin. They are children. This is the first time.
I'm still a little nervous when meeting strangers.
"Brother and sister, come and sit!"
Liu Lang greeted them while sitting on the earthen kang, which was a little hot on his buttocks. He looked like a little adult.
"Your name is Liu Lang?"
The eldest sister said hello to her. During the National Day, Liu Lang had already been to his grandma's house and met his brother and sister. However, the child's memory is very poor, so he had forgotten about meeting each other again.
"Well, yes, I am your cousin."
The eldest brother and eldest sister were a little cautious at first, but soon they started playing together and the eldest brother took out his own toys.
"Look, this is my gun, this is my knife."
Liu Lang's eldest brother took out wood and made a sword and gun. Although it was made of wood, its appearance was very similar to a real sword and gun.
"You did this?"
Liu Lang asked.
"I can't do it now. My father made it for me. I can only do this!"
Liu Lang's eldest brother took out another "grenade" made of wood.
"boom!"
The opponent threw the grenade on the kang and made an explosion sound in his mouth.
"I am Li Xiangyang, the guerrilla leader. I will not kill you until you surrender your gun!"
Liu Lang's eldest brother learned the lines from the movie and said loudly while holding a wooden gun.
Liu Lang's eldest brother has been ingenious since he was a child. He can use axes, saws and other tools to make various wooden toys when he was a teenager. Liu Lang often asked for toys such as swords, guns and swords from him. When he brought them home, he would immediately attract people around him to play with them.
Attention friends,
It made him a lot of limelight, but this eldest brother stopped going to school when he reached high school. When he grew up, he learned some electric welding work from Liu Lang's uncle, and he set up a small factory to find some small jobs.
His talent for ingenuity was in vain.
"I have toys too!"
Liu Lang took out the jigsaw puzzle and handed it to the other party.
"What is this?"
"This is a jigsaw puzzle. It can be arranged into various shapes. Look at it!"
Liu Lang made a few random moves, and soon a small fish shape was displayed.
"It can also turn into a tree!"
"There's a bridge and a house!"
The seven irregular shapes quickly transformed into various things in Liu Lang's hands.
"This is fun!"
The eldest brother and eldest sister became interested, threw aside the "knives and guns" in their hands, picked up the jigsaw puzzle and started playing.
After dinner, Liu Lang's father and uncle continued to play poker. The second uncle was very lucky and had won more than one yuan. Liu Lang's aunt and second aunt were sitting on the kang and playing with sheep bones.
Commonly known as "Galaha", the old uncle and the third uncle played chess and fought together, while Liu Lang's mother chatted about home affairs with her grandma and grandpa.
Adults also have adult games, and children also have children's games. Even in this era of lack of entertainment, everyone is having fun, and there is no dullness.
Liu Lang's family stayed at his grandma's house and left after lunch the next day. This was how they spent the short three-day Spring Festival holiday.
