Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Dad stood there and looked around. On the left was the old courtyard, where the old man's family lived, and on the right was the second uncle's house.

Dad looked back at his mother and said, "Go and see my uncle?"

Mom said: "Go and have a look, it's not your uncle, he's already back, so it's nothing if you don't take a look."

Dad nodded and said, "Okay, go and pay New Year's greetings to my old uncle. The old man is over 60 and old."

Turn right and walk more than ten meters on a flat road, and you will find the gate of the old courtyard. Although the gatehouse has been knocked down, the courtyard wall is still there. The gate is nailed with thick wood.

As soon as they reached the courtyard gate, two dogs in the courtyard rushed out of their dens, stood in the courtyard gate and barked wildly at the family.

The dog barked a few times, and as soon as the door opened, a young man rubbed his head and came out to look. After taking a look, he walked over frowning and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Dad squinted his eyes at the young man for a while, and said, "You, are you a little pine nut?"

The young man said as he walked, "Yes, who are you?" When he walked to the edge of the courtyard gate, he took a closer look at his father, opened his eyes, and said, "Third brother? Is it the third brother?" He stretched out his hand and lifted the courtyard door , opened the courtyard door, kicked the dog at his feet and said, "Come in, come in, come in quickly, why did you come back, third brother? Third sister-in-law is also back, come in quickly."

Dad stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I just arrived, come back and have a look. This guy has grown up and become a young man, is he married yet?"

The master is younger than Zhang Xingming's uncle, he is the grandfather's fifth son, and he is 23 years younger than Zhang Xingming's grandfather, his eldest brother. His son, Xiaosong, is just in his early twenties this year.

After entering the hospital, my father said to Zhang Xingming and his three brothers, "My uncle." He is the youngest of my father's cousins, one year younger than the sixth uncle.

The three elder brothers would say hello to the old uncle. The old uncle's name is Zhang Qingsong, and his nickname is Qingsong. Everyone in the castle calls him easy.

Walking through the yard to the front of the house, the old uncle opened the door one step forward to let everyone in, and shouted: "Dad, Dad, look who's coming."

"Who is it?" The old man's voice sounded from the main room. Following the sound, the old man poked his head out to look. The room was a bit dark, so he probably didn't see clearly, and he was still asking, "Who is it?"

Dad said: "Happy Chinese New Year, uncle, I came to see you."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the room, took a closer look, reached out and grabbed Dad's hand and said, "Third brother, is it the third child? It is the third child, why are you back? What happened before?" of?"

Dad said: "It's just a new year, come back and have a look. Is your health okay?"

The master said: "Okay, you can eat and sleep, life is better now, people are fine. Come, sit in the house, this guy, you haven't been back for a long time, did you go to that courtyard?"

Dad said: "No, why don't you come over to see you first, you are an elder, and you are the only one left in our family's older generation. You must take good care of your body, live a few more years, and live a better life in the future."

The master said: "Yes, live a good life. It's good now. I can eat and sleep well. I don't lack anything. How are you? The factory is okay? The city is better than the countryside in the past two years. , your days are better."

After entering the house, my mother gave the master a New Year greeting and bowed solemnly.

Dad called Zhang Xingming's three brothers to pay New Year's greetings to the master. This was about to kowtow, so the three brothers knelt down and kowtowed three times to say hello.Kowtowing to a living person to say hello is not a good way to kowtow loudly, that is, the head should not really touch the ground. Old people tend to accept this principle.Up to now, these sayings have long since disappeared, and there is no distinction between left and right.

After talking with the old man for a while, my father left 500 yuan for the old man, and the family left the old house and walked to the yard directly opposite, the house of the second uncle.

The courtyard door of the second uncle’s house is relatively high, unlike ordinary rural people who block it by more than one meter. His house is like a real door, two meters high, and it is tightly woven with branches.

There is a bell hanging on the door, and the courtyard gate is a little far away from the house, and sometimes the shouts cannot be heard.Inside the door is the grape trellis, on the left is the pigsty and the toilet, and on the right is the vegetable field.

Dad stretched out his hand and shook the chaimen, the bell jingled a few times, and then he heard the door from inside. A man came out and asked, "Who?"

Dad looked at mom and said, "Second brother, it's me, third child." Mom turned her head and looked around, and she could see that she was still not feeling well.

"Third?" The second uncle opened the chaimen from the inside, looked at Dad, and then glared and said, "Oh, it's really the third, this is Gaha? Why did you come back? Come in, Guixin, come in Come to the courtyard and talk in the house."

Mom forced a smile and agreed.

Everyone entered the courtyard, the second uncle closed the firewood gate, and said to his mother in a low voice: "Gui Xin, I know you are angry with the second sister-in-law. She has that kind of temper. She has offended others all her life, and I can't control it. This will not work." Well, just like my mother, this year is almost the end of the year. When people die, don’t take things to heart, okay? In fact, she regretted it in the past few years. What a mess, her brothers didn’t come A visit from home, alas."

The second uncle is actually suffering from tracheitis, which is very rare in the rural areas of Northeast China. I am afraid that my daughter-in-law is not usually afraid of it.

My mother sighed and said, "Don't mention the past. If you are still angry, I will come to Gaha during the Chinese New Year? Have you been sick for a long time? Have you gone to the hospital?"

The second uncle was very happy, nodded happily, and said: "Come in, come in, it's warm and warm, let's eat here today."

Walk five or six meters inside, the courtyard is just outside the grape arbor, and the old house is on the left, which is already empty. Five brick houses.

Turning around the old house, a bright and flat yard appeared in front of my eyes.

Back then, when my grandfather separated the family, the entire land beside the driveway belonged to my grandfather. Now it is the second uncle's inheritance, and the yard and house occupy my own land.

The house has a foundation wall, and there are four steps to go up. The second aunt is standing on the steps holding the door and looking this way. From a distance, her stomach is swollen and high, as if she is about to give birth.

The second uncle has four children, the eldest is Xinghong, who has already joined the army, the second is Xingwei, who is working as a farmer at home, the third is Xiaoying, a girl who is in junior high school, the fourth is Xingbing, and reunited with Zhang Xingming’s younger brother name, but he is one year older than Zhang Xingming, and he is still in junior high school at the moment.

In those days, I liked to use those words when naming children, so there were many duplicate names, which was normal.Zhang Xingming's family used military and militia soldiers, and the second uncle's family used Red Guards. After the Great Revolution was criticized, they were changed to Hongwei soldiers.

It is said that after the end of the Great Revolution, countless people across the country changed their names.

Chapter 455 Second Aunt (5)

The second uncle led everyone in. Xingwei and Xingbing were doing something in the vegetable field at the front of the house. Smoke was coming from the chimney on the house. I guess Miss Xiaoying was cooking. The children in the countryside are adults in junior high school. .

The second uncle said to the second aunt: "Old man, look who is back? The third couple came back to see you."

The second aunt forced a smile and waved her hand to this side.

The second uncle said: "Xiaowei, Xiaobing, come here to pay New Year's greetings to your third uncle, what are you doing there?"

Xingwei and Xingbing glanced here, clapped their hands, stood up and walked over, bowing to their parents: "Happy New Year, Third Uncle, and Happy New Year, Third Aunt."

The second brother Xingwei looked over here and said, "Er Ming and Da Jun are back too, Er Ming, do you still know me?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Second brother, Happy New Year, and Xiaobing."

Xing Bing looked at Zhang Xingming, and said slowly, "Why don't you call me brother? I'm older than you." In fact, he was only half a month older than Zhang Xingming.

Looking at this familiar face, Zhang Xingming wanted to go over and beat him up. In the last life, the two walked the closest, and they often talked on the phone and walked around.

The second uncle said: "Okay, you guys go play, go to the third child, and enter the house. Xiaohong is also back, and Xiaoying is cooking in the house."

Dad said: "Are you on vacation? It would be nice to be back for Chinese New Year."

The second uncle said: "Xiaohong has done well in the army, and has a good relationship with the leaders. If he can take care of him, he can come back for a few days every year."

Zhang Xingming's cousin is actually quite powerful. In his previous life, he was the best among the brothers of this generation. He has been in the army until his old age. When Zhang Xingming came back, he was still in the army.

Moreover, his interpersonal relationship is handled very well. After the second aunt passed away, the second uncle has not been at home for many years, and has been floating outside. Like a father, he took care of his three younger brothers and sisters properly, and settled down by himself. In the city where the army is located, he is almost single-handedly responsible for owning cars, houses, and assets, the lives of his younger siblings, and their children. He is a great brother.

After entering the house, Brother Xinghong, who was busy in front of the stove, turned his head and glanced, and said with a smile, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Happy Chinese New Year, why are you here? Come in and sit down and drink some hot water , I’ll be fine soon, Xiaoying will go pour water for third uncle and third aunt.”

Sister Xiaoying agreed, and went into the room to get a cup to pour water. Everyone went into the room, took off their coats and hats, and sat down on the edge of the kang.

The room is very tidy, with white walls, cabinets and tables are all newly made. Although the second aunt has problems with her personality, she is indeed a good housekeeper.

The second aunt also walked into the room slowly, leaning on the wall, and sat down on the top of the kang. She didn't see it until she got close, her whole face was swollen.
