Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The night was long, and occasionally villagers passed by on the dirt road outside the courtyard, and bursts of footsteps and voices could be heard.

Inside Xu Yeliang's house.

Xu Hu took a big bite of rabbit meat and asked:

"Where is Grenada? I've heard several people talk about this place. Why does the United States want to hit it?"

"Why else? Just to be domineering!" Rong Chenglin curled his lips.

Xu Yeliang spat out a piece of rabbit bone, clattered it on the table, and answered:

"You don't watch the news? There's a coup in Grenada, and the new group of people who came to power want to mess with Old Su.

That country is very close to the United States, how can this be done? The old Americans were anxious at that time, and the army drove over directly. "

after eating.

Xu Dahai remembered that the watermelons in his back garden were almost ripe, so he got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said with a smile:

"You two keep chatting while I go back and pick two watermelons to taste whether the watermelons grown this year are sweet or not."

Saw him going out.

Rong Chenglin said, "Xiao Hai and I will go pick it together." He quickly put on his shoes and ran out of the door.

……

The moonlight was like water, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost. The ditch not far away was like a mirror, reflecting little bits of moonlight.

Groups of toads kept shouting "Go, croak, go croak, croak, croak, croak, croak."

The breeze brought the fragrance of rice flowers in the fields, which made Xu Dahai couldn't help but think of "the fragrance of rice flowers means good harvest, and listen to the sound of frogs".

"Xiaohai, you go pick watermelons first. I'm worried, so I'll go to the thatched house first."

After Rong Chenglin caught up with Xu Dahai, he had just said a few words when he suddenly felt a strange feeling coming over him and his face changed.

"Okay, be careful and don't fall."

Xu Dahai returned home humming a little tune, but he just entered the yard.

swoosh~

A dark mass, something unknown suddenly jumped out from the door of the house, very fast, startling Xu Dahai.

"What the hell? Oh, it's a lazy cat, it scared me."

"Meow~meow~"

The big fat cat raised his head and kept yelling, blocking him in front and not letting him go.

"I haven't fed you yet. I'll bring you some rabbit bones to eat later."

He picked up the cat and put it on the windowsill, and walked quickly along the east path to the back garden.

swoosh~

The lazy cat jumped off the window sill and chased him again.

Under the moonlight, large and small watermelons lie in the watermelon field. The night wind blows and the watermelon leaves sway gently. It is really a wonderful scene.

"Dong dong~"

"This doesn't work, it's not cooked yet."

"This doesn't work too well. It sounds like it's raw."

Xu Dahai walked carefully in the watermelon field, bending down to pick watermelons.

After a while, I picked out a large watermelon with flower skin, which weighed almost seven or eight kilograms.

After picking it, he put it on the ground and then went into the melon field to look for the second one.

The big orange cat thought that after Xu Dahai picked the watermelon, he would bring her something to eat. He lay on the watermelon with his little paws, swung the tip of his tail gently twice, and stopped barking.

"Xiao Hai, have you finished picking the watermelons?"

Accompanied by a burst of footsteps, Rong Chenglin walked quickly from the southeast side path, and the light of the metal flashlight illuminated a large vegetable patch.

"I picked one, just pick another one."

Xu Dahai continues to look for watermelons.

When Rong Chenglin came over and saw the big fat cat lying on the watermelon, his hands felt itchy and he reached out to touch it.

But whining, the big orange cat flashed its paws directly at him.

"If you don't let me touch you, I won't touch you."

Rong Chenglin's smile froze and he quickly took back his outstretched hand.

I was a little depressed, but when I flashed the flashlight beam and saw the mushroom field not far away, I became happy again:

"I'll pick some mushrooms and birds."

"Let's pick it...this watermelon is pretty good, it's just him."

When Xu Dahai picked off the second watermelon and carried it to the ground, he turned around and saw that Rong Chenglin kept raising his arms to the height of his mouth after picking the mushrooms.

There was also a slight chirping sound.

"Eat?"

"Ah? I'm just trying to see if it's sweet. Don't tell me, it's really sweet."

Rong Chenglin's voice was vague when he spoke.

"I'm going to get a basket from the front yard. I might as well pick more. Brother Ye Liang has some kids at home, let them have a taste too."

When Xu Dahai brought the basket, the two of them picked it together. There was a sound of crickets, and the mushroom seedlings, which were more than half a meter high, kept shaking under the two people's pulling.

After picking about four or five kilograms of mushrooms, Rong Chenglin was holding a basket and working with an electric drill in front, while Xu Dahai was following behind, holding two large watermelons in his hands.

Soon he returned to Xu Yeliang's house.

Kacha Kacha~

Wash the skins of two large watermelons.

First, cut a piece on the kang table. The flesh of the melon is as red as a gem and the seeds are as black as a cuttlefish. It is sandy and makes people swallow their saliva just by looking at it.

"Eat, eat them all. Take whichever piece you want. After finishing this, there will be another one."

"Ah, so sweet!"

"Yeah, it's so cooked, it's even sandy."

"Look at how lazy you are, are you talking too much?" Xu Yeliang's wife quickly brought a towel and wiped the child's cheeks.

Sudden.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near in the yard, and there were voices: "Look, have your dad and the others finished eating? I guess they have."

"Who is it?"

Rong Chenglin was standing at the door of the back room, holding a piece of watermelon in his right hand and chewing on it. He took three steps and two steps at a time, and opened the door directly with his left hand.

Instantly stunned.

The person who came was his wife, followed by his son and girl.

"Why are you here? Let's play for a while and then I'll go back." Rong Chenglin whispered.

"It's not that I wanted to come. It's just that I had nothing to do after dinner, and the kids wanted to come over and play for a while."

Rong Chenglin's wife glared at him and took the children around him to go into the house. Xu Yeliang and his wife welcomed her arrival.

Xu Yeliang's wife pulled her and chatted.

Xu Yeliang picked up the watermelon and handed it to the child.

Everyone chatted while eating watermelon, and the atmosphere was harmonious, comfortable, and enjoyable. One big watermelon was not enough to eat, so they cut another one.

Xu Dahai ate four or five pieces in a row, and when he burped, it tasted like watermelon, so he stopped eating and suddenly said:

"By the way, sister-in-law, where are the bones left after eating the rabbit? I will take some back to feed the cat later, but the cat hasn't been fed yet."

"There's more, I'll get it for you."

Xu Yeliang's wife hurriedly took out a large handful of rabbit bones.

There was nothing to hold it, so I put a piece of straw paper on it and put it in the basket containing mushrooms and birds.

"Should I say it or not, that cat of yours is really well-raised, really fat, and smooth."

"That silly cat is so greedy that he falls asleep after eating. It's hard not to gain weight."

Time passed, and when it was approaching nine o'clock at night, the moon outside the window was covered by a thin cloud.

After a topic ended, Xu Yeliang suddenly asked while eating mushrooms and birds:

"Xiaohai, is your sister going to be a senior in high school?"

The room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone is still very concerned about studying. There is no way. For most rural children in this era, studying is the only way to get out of the countryside.

After all, no one has any idea of ​​doing business.

I have no idea of ​​going to the city to work.
