Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

It is now late July 1988.

The sun is hot, the cicadas are chirping, and the rice in the rice fields is growing beautifully. Occasionally, trucks from the forest farm drive by at extremely fast speeds.

Boom boom boom~ boom boom boom~ It was like thunder, and a lot of dust flew up like a puff of smoke.

An old man in a straw hat drove a mule cart past, his face covered in dust.

"Bah, bah, bah, Zhenya, you are such a fool, driving so fast and rushing to reincarnate."

Wiping the dirt on his face with the torn towel on his shoulder, he whipped his whip, crack, a whip was shot in mid-air, and the mule continued to move forward.

Xu Dahai is more astute.

Seeing the flying dust, he parked his motorcycle early in the shade of a willow tree on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.

"Don't be anxious. Once the wind blows away the dust, it won't be too late to leave."

He looked away from the mule car in the distance and turned to look northeast. He saw a group of children swimming happily in the river.

"Thump thump~"

Some little boys climbed up the willow trees by the river with their buttocks naked.

The trunks of the willow trees extend towards the river, and their leaves are thick and rustling in the wind, forming large shadows on the river.

The little boy stepped on the tree trunk and jumped directly towards the river.

"Wow~"

Like a human-shaped cannonball, huge splashes of water suddenly appeared on the river. For a while, other children cheered, and then they came ashore one after another, competing to imitate!

Xu Dahai was also entertained.

"What a carefree childhood~"

After finishing his cigarette, most of the dust not far away was blown away by the wind, and he left in a hurry on his motorcycle.

……

Longxing Township.

My father-in-law’s family.

The little girl has been tired of staying here since yesterday. She kept begging her mother to go home quickly. If she didn't obey her, she didn't find a corner to stand and stamp her feet. She just sat on the small bench, holding her chin in her hands and sulking.

Wang Xiuxiu thought she missed the big orange cat at home, so she asked her father-in-law to find a cat.

She also specifically confessed in advance: "It needs to be fatter, and it is best to be an orange cat, a big fat orange cat."

As a result, when the father-in-law finally caught an orange cat after asking three or four neighbors, Xiao Tingzi only glanced at it and turned away again.

"This cat is so ugly, I don't want it."

"Pfft~ Why is it so ugly? It's pretty good-looking... It does seem a bit ugly."

Wang Xiuxiu also smiled when she realized that the orange cat looked like a little old lady with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

"There are no other orange cats nearby, just this one." My father-in-law was also a little helpless: "How about I go to the east side of the street and ask?"

"Go quickly!"

The mother-in-law kept urging him. She regarded the little girl as a treasure and wanted her to stay for a few more days. Naturally, she would do her best to meet her request:

"I remember that her eldest son's house in Guangfen seemed to have an orange cat. Let's go to his house and have a look."

"I... Guangfen's eldest son has gone to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, right? Maybe her daughter-in-law is home alone, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go." The father-in-law looked embarrassed.

"What's inappropriate about this? Okay, okay, I'll go with you. We'll go to Guangfen first and tell him that there are mice chewing the grain bags in our house. Let's borrow the cat to catch the mice..."

The mother-in-law was just about to take the father-in-law away.

Sudden.

The sound of a motorcycle came from far away, then came closer, and finally stopped at the door.

Xiao Tingzi was stunned, and when she saw it was Xu Dahai, she immediately ran over with her short legs:

"dad!"

There was excitement in her crisp voice. When Xu Dahai got off the motorcycle, she threw herself into his arms.

"Dad, are you here to take me and my mother home?" the little girl asked, raising her little face, full of innocence and expectation.

"Well, did you do any naughty things while you were at grandma's house?"

"No, I'm good."

After carrying the little girl into the yard, Xu Dahai also saw the orange cat, which was only two meters away. He was suddenly startled:

"This cat looks... really unique."

In an instant, the father-in-law, mother-in-law and Wang Xiuxiu all laughed.

Went into the house and sat down, chatting and talking about home affairs.

After a while, the father-in-law went to return the cat - the big ugly cat was borrowed, and Xiao Tingzi didn't like it and would be leaving soon, so naturally he wanted to return the cat.

If it is lost at home, it will be difficult to deal with the cat owner.

The mother-in-law started to collect firewood to cook.

Chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and a few more vegetarian dishes were added, and finally a large table was filled with a fragrant aroma that would seduce the gluttons in people's stomachs.

Xu Dahai finally finished eating, burping and praising his mother-in-law for the delicious food.

The mother-in-law was very happy and said while clearing the table:

"Since you like to eat, then stay for two more days. There is a room here, and you have nothing to do when you go back anyway, so just stay for a few more days."

噌～

Xiao Tingzi quickly looked up at Xu Dahai, as if she was very worried that her father had really agreed.

She was really tired of staying there. There were no familiar friends here to play rubber bands, play sandbags, or play karaha; there were no cats, fish, and dogs; and there was no back garden full of various fruits and vegetables.

The original freshness has long since disappeared.

She felt like a bird trapped in a cage and just wanted to escape.

"There are still not many people to live in. Our township has said that it is going to renovate the cooperatives. The results may be announced in the next few days."

"cooperative?"

"Yeah, Huang Lei told me personally, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Xu Dahai himself has not been home for a while, and he also wants to go back to Xujiatun, where he can play with dogs, pet cats, and go fishing... Wow, it feels so comfortable and refreshing.

Chatting and having fun.

The time soon came to 2:30 in the afternoon, and the family of three was about to leave, but the mother-in-law tried her best to persuade them to stay and let them have dinner before leaving.

"It will be dark after dinner. I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk on the road."

"It's okay. Let's cook early. We'll do it right away."

Seeing the white-haired mother-in-law, who was sincere and pleading, she almost cried, and she held on to Wang Xiuxiu's hand and refused to let go.

Forget it, let's have dinner before leaving.

The sun outside the window was setting slightly to the west, and smoke slowly floated out of the chimney. Children were running past on the street not far away, and their laughter floated.

I didn't make a big dinner. I just heated up the leftovers that I didn't finish at noon and made some millet porridge.

There was no drinking anymore. Everyone ate hot meals and chatted while eating, which was quite relaxing.

The reason why the mother-in-law insisted on keeping them for dinner was because she wanted them to stay here for a little longer. Even if it was just for more than an hour, she would be very happy.

Half past four in the afternoon.

Xu Dahai drove his wife and daughter back home on a motorcycle. After leaving Longxing Township, there were acres of rice fields, soybeans, corn, and sorghum fields on both sides of the dirt road.

Chuchuchu~chuchuchu~

The bumpy dirt road was very bumpy, so Xu Dahai rode slowly.

Xiao Tingzi was sandwiched between her parents. She turned to look to the west. The rice fields under the sunset were so beautiful! A little bit of light, a subtle fragrance floating around!

In addition, the sun shone warmly on her face, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes, feeling infinite joy about going home.

"I'm going to see fat cats, silly dogs, and big fat fish soon. I'm happy, so happy~"

Thoughts flashed in the little girl's mind, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you giggling? Are you cold?"

Wang Xiuxiu reached out and covered the little girl's ears, making her blush in the wind.
