Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Laosongtun.

The cold wind whimpered and noises came from the dirt road outside the courtyard.

Ma Liang and Xu Dahai also came out of the house and quickly figured out that some villagers had shot the deer in the mountains.

"About 30 pounds, not too big."

"Indeed, by the way, I also brought two bottles of wine."

"Look at you, you brought wine with you when you came to my place. You're out of town, aren't you?"

Ma Liang followed Xu Dahai to get the wine. When he saw two bottles of Maotai, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly said with a playful smile:

"You have a conscience and know how to honor me with good wine."

"Filial piety? I'll beat you up! Hahaha~"

Xu Dahai tried to kick him, but Ma Liang quickly ducked out of the way.

"Tsk tsk~ What a wealthy landowner. Two bottles of wine like this are worth hundreds of catties of eggs, right? Come into the house! I'll also take advantage of you and have a taste of the good wine."

Except dumplings for lunch.

We also stewed a big goose, which was fragrant and spicy.

While eating the fragrant goose meat, drinking some wine and chatting, it’s a pleasure~

Ma Liang went to see him a few days ago, but he had nothing to do. He just wanted to have a meal and chat with him.

"Eggs are expensive this year. Are you making less money?"

"Ha, how much money do you make? In autumn, several yellow-skinned chickens come to steal the chickens and kill many of them."

"Ah? Have you caught them?"

Xu Dahai threw the goose bones on the table, a little surprised.

Back then, Ma Er was a master at catching Huangpizi, and he didn't know how many Huangpizi fell into his hands.

Huang Pizi dared to provoke him, he was really eating arsenic.

"You can catch them, but the clamp is very powerful and can kill them in one go."

Ma Liang took a sip of wine and ate a piece of goose meat: "Xiaoyun won't let me kill Huang Pizi again, so I can't use the clamp.

Finally, I set up traps and finally caught them with a net bag.

I rode my bike, and after passing Lianggou Village, I arrived at the border of Daxi Township, which was probably twenty or thirty miles away, before I left them behind, thinking that they would never come back. "

After eating.

Someone in Laosongtun organized a yangko dance, and there were bursts of firecrackers. It was full of joy and very lively.

Xu Dahai, Ma Liang and Ma Liang's sister went to see it for a while. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon before they said goodbye and left.

……

After entering the twelfth lunar month.

The flavor of the New Year is getting better day by day, and the villagers are killing New Year pigs one after another. Almost every day, the big stupid pig can be heard shouting "Weier~Weier~".

Xu Dahai doesn't raise pigs in this courtyard.

There are some in Mom's courtyard, but I plan to wait until the eldest brother, second sister, third brother, fifth sister, sixth sister and others all come back before killing them.

The fifth sister, Xu Fang, was the first to come. She took her child with her and planned to stay at her parents' house for a few days.

The next day, the sixth sister Xu Juan was on winter vacation, and Xu Dahai drove her tractor to pick her back up.

As several people came back one after another, the house became more and more lively.

Finally, on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Dahai drove his tractor and picked up his third brother, Xu Dashu, from the Longxing Township Railway Station.

The wheels turned, rolled over the snow, and finally stopped in front of the house.

"Hi~ It's too cold, mother! I'm back!"

The third brother, Xu Dashu, was wearing a military green coat and a dog-skin hat. After getting off the tractor with a large sack on his shoulders, he hurriedly ran into the house.

"You're back!"

"Get on the kang quickly, it's warm in the kang."

"Third brother has lost weight...hurry up and call third uncle, shout."

In the small house, grandparents, second uncle, mother, second sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister, Xiaoxiang and Xiaotingzi were talking, and the concern of the family was revealed in the noise.

Xu Dashu responded to everyone's words, got on the kang, and rubbed his face twice, feeling like he was almost frozen into a popsicle.

Returning to his home that he had been away from for a long time suddenly felt strange and difficult to adapt to.

But after relaxing for a while, I felt comfortable and started to enjoy it.

Xu Dahai also squeezed into the room, and his mother took the quilt wrapped around him from his hand, folded it, and leaned forward to place it on the kangqin.

"Where's my dad? Why didn't I see him?"

"Go call your big brother. You should be back soon." The smile on my mother's face never disappeared, and she turned back to Xu Dahai and said:

"Call Xiuxiu over and let's eat here together at noon."

"Yeah, I'll go right away. I'll bring some of the beef meatballs that were just fried the day before yesterday."

At this time, the third brother Xu Dashu was opening the large sack he had brought back. Several children were surrounding him, looking expectantly, waiting to share snacks.

In addition to snacks, there are scarves, gloves, hats and more.

When Xu Dahai returned with some meatballs and Wang Xiuxiu, his father Xu Houtian was already in the house with his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Now it's all together.

……

After lunch, we chatted for a while and then started setting off firecrackers and killing the New Year pig.

"Weier~Weier~"

The big stupid pig was very energetic, ran quite fast, and ran rampant, but in the end it was defeated, snorting and breathing, and mist-like white air drifting.

"Okay, go ahead and have fun. As long as you can hold down the pig, you won't be needed to kill the pig."

Father Xu Houtian was holding a cigarette and waving his hands with a smile on his face.

Grandpa, second uncle, and third uncle also responded.

The eldest brother Xu Dashan entered the house, washed his hands, and raised his chin slightly towards Xu Dashan and Xu Dahai when he came out.

"Let's go, let's go for a walk in the village. I haven't been back to the village for a while."

"Okay."

The three brothers left the yard and walked east along the road, planning to make a long circle and come back.

The four dogs raised by Xu Dahai were running ahead, leaving dog paw prints on the snow on the roadside.

He sniffs here and there, and occasionally chases other people’s dogs.

"There are so many new houses in our village. This used to be a vegetable garden." Third brother Xu Dashu looked around as he walked and found that the village had changed a lot.

A group of children with faces turned red from the cold, runny noses and shiny sleeves ran towards Xu Dahai, calling Xu Dahai "Uncle Hai" one after another.

At the same time, he looked at Xu Dashan and Xu Dashu curiously.

Like a group of fat sparrows, they quickly ran away laughing and joking, holding ice caps and whips.

"Whose children are these? I don't even know them."

"Which one?"

"The one on the far right."

"Victory is his eldest grandson."

"Is Shengli's grandson already this old?"

Not only was the third brother surprised, the eldest brother Xu Dashan couldn't help but stare when he saw the child running away.

He came back more often than his third brother, but most of the time he didn't stay overnight and left again after staying for a long time. He knew less and less about many people and things in the village.

"He's six years old, huh. He's a kid. He's growing up fast."

Xu Dahai, his eldest brother, and his third brother turned at the intersection and started walking south.

Passing behind the house of No. 2 Master Junhao, one can see the white snow, withered grass, and corn stalks in the fields.

The mist was drifting and the air was cold, making it difficult to see the scene further away.

"Third brother, where do you live in Yanjing? I still have an empty courtyard in Yanjing, why don't you go and live there?"

Xu Dahai suddenly said.
