Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The cold wind howled, passing over the sticks and mud houses of every household, making bursts of sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The ground is covered with thick snow, reflecting white light.

Part of the snow was compacted and used by children for skating during the day. The surface became darker and seemed to have turned into a layer of ice.

Very slippery!

"Step forward, be careful not to fall."

Xu Dahai asked Wang Xiuxiu and his daughter to walk behind him. Winter is really unfriendly to the elderly.

Many elderly people have weak bones and may die if they fall on the snow.

Human beings are often very fragile.

……

"Second uncle! Second uncle!!"

When he came to the door of his second uncle's house, he pushed the fence door and found that it could not be pushed open. Xu Dahai shouted at the top of his lungs.

The wind distorted his voice.

The lights in the room were on, and there was a faint sound from the TV.

The dim light shines through the window, dyeing a small patch of snow in the yard orange.

After shouting several times, a response finally came from inside the house: "Who is it!? It's coming!"

After a rustling sound, the door creaked open, and the second uncle came out wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and holding a big pipe in his mouth.

"It's Xiaohai, come on, come in!"

"I have nothing to do after dinner, so I just wanted to come and sit in your courtyard, Uncle Er."

As the fence gate opened, Xu Dahai's family of three entered the yard one after another.

"Come! You can come anytime." The second uncle was very happy and quickly let them into the house:

"It's too cold outside. Come inside and warm yourself up."

After entering the house and closing the door, the cold wind was instantly blocked out.

Originally, the second aunt was sitting sideways on the kang, with a round basket in front of her, peeling corn kernels and watching TV.

Seeing Xu Dahai's family of three coming, they quickly got off the kang to get canned food, frozen pears, corn buckets and the like.

Wang Xiuxiu quickly stopped her and said that Xiao Tingzi didn't want to eat anything after just finishing her meal.

But in the end, the second aunt still brought a lot of things, not only for Xiao Tingzi, but also for Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu.

"Is this long fruit fried at home?"

Xu Dahai sat on the long bench next to the cement cabinet, holding peanuts and eating them.

pop~

With a gentle squeeze, the peanut shell will crack with a slight sound. Peel it open and eat the peanut kernels inside.

"Yeah, the frying is not very good. Some of them become mushy when the heat is too high, and some are not fried when the heat is too low."

The second aunt sat back on the kang, while rubbing the corn kernels, she glared at the second uncle, turned to Xu Dahai and said:

"I don't know what dirty thing your second uncle encountered that day. He was acting evil and angry early in the morning.

If I ask him to fry long fruits and he won't do it, then I will fry them myself!

Anyway, I eat it at home, whether it is good or bad, I can make do with it.

It's not like other people's frying of long fruits and selling them. If they are not fried well, they cannot be sold. "

"Ahem, yes."

Xu Dahai agreed. It was inevitable for a couple to have quarrels in their lives. It was difficult for an upright official to settle household matters, and it was not easy for him to get involved.

The second uncle smiled and said: "It's all in the past, and I still mention him... By the way, Xiaohai, the price Pu Xiucheng gave me this year is good. I plan to sell the pigs raised by Huzi to him."

"Well, what does Huzi think about this?"

Xu Dahai asked while peeling peanuts.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was - what did Xu Hu's daughter-in-law Liu Hong think?

Here in Xujiatun.

The son is married and lives in a separate house, which means that the family is actually separated.

But people are emotionally reserved and would not mention the word "family separation". Language is a knife. If some things are said openly, it will be too hurtful.

Then again.

Although the word "family separation" is not mentioned, people basically understand it, and money will not be mixed.

"Huzi? What can he think? It's too late for him to be happy after selling it at a high price." The second uncle smiled instantly and took two puffs of dry cigarettes in succession.

"The pig was raised by Huzi and his wife Liu Hong. They both have to agree to it no matter what."

Xu Dahai said again.

Many conflicts are like this - one party does something without careful consideration and does something without much thought; the other party feels offended, or even loses his own money, and is suffocating in his heart, which eventually turns into a fierce conflict.

Xu Dahai didn't want his second uncle's family to be in a state of chaos.

Yes, there are several families in Xujiatun who have serious conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They often quarrel, and half of the village can hear the noise clearly.

The second uncle heard the meaning of Xu Dahai's words and was instantly startled!

As a father-in-law, he had always wanted to avoid suspicion and would not talk to Liu Hong too much, so he really never asked Liu Hong about this matter.

He glanced at his second aunt, who frowned and said:

"Xiao Hai is right, this matter really cannot go beyond our daughter-in-law.

I'll go chat with her tomorrow. If she doesn't want to sell the pig to Park Xiucheng, then we won't sell it. "

The second aunt smiled and glanced at Xu Dahai, who smiled and said:

"There's nothing wrong with this. You can sell it to whoever you want."

After chatting about this matter, the topic soon changed to interesting stories about the family, who had shot a wild boar or a roe deer, etc.

Xu Dahai sat on the bench for a while.

So I sat down by the kang and helped to knead the corn.

First, use a screwdriver to pierce a piece of corn several times, and a lot of golden corn particles fell out.

Then use another corn husk to rub the corn that has been penetrated by the screwdriver. More corn particles fall down, and soon one corn is finished.

Xu Dahai rubbed it several times in succession.

The second aunt smiled and said: "You're here to play, what else are you doing? Xiaohai, you don't have to rub it, we can just chat."

"It's okay. I'm chatting and rubbing corn at the same time. I won't delay anything."

Xu Dahai said with a smile: "These corns are dry enough. Are they going to be ground into flour?"

"Well, it's winter. I need to drink porridge, and make some pancakes from time to time." The second aunt threw one of the corn kernels to the ground, picked up the other and continued to rub it.

There are more and more corn kernels on the ground, scattered everywhere, some are white, and some are purple-red.

time flies.

Around nine o'clock, the second uncle handed a soaked frozen pear to Xu Dahai and suddenly mentioned something.

Just this morning, I was chatting with other village gentlemen at the canteen.Some people say that an old hunter from Yanlizitun took his dog up the mountain to hunt, and met Mazixiong.

"Pony Bear!?? What happened next?"

Xu Dahai's attention instantly focused. The horse-sized bear was a brown bear, with a sturdy body and extremely strong fighting power.

Experienced hunters should be very careful when encountering a bear, because if a bear attacks before death, it is very likely to take the hunter away with him.

Eat directly!
