Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The heat is getting stronger.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, we rode all the way, and finally Xu Dahai and Xu Hu returned to the cemetery last night with their four dogs.

Many weeds are as tall as an adult's thigh, and they are constantly swaying and rustling in the wind.

"Which grave was it visited yesterday?"

"The one on the right."

"Yeah, the weeds here are a little shorter."

The two of them got off the 28th pole. Xu Dahai led Xu Hu inside and said casually:

"You are just scaring yourself. Isn't this just an ordinary cemetery? As for rabbits, they will run to this place.

That's because Fengbaozi is a natural cave. You see, these holes are all made by rabbits.

It doesn't know anything about gods or ghosts, it just knows how to hide inside, out of the wind and out of the rain. "

"OK."

The fear in Xu Hu's heart dissipated a little.

There are many rabbit holes on the ground, some of which have partially collapsed. They may be abandoned holes left in previous years.

Sudden.

Several dogs were walking around in the cemetery. They didn't know what they smelled, but Qingbei, the first dog, suddenly yelled.

"Woof woof woof~"

"What's wrong? Go over and take a look."

"It's not like we found a snake, right? The grass is so deep and dark. Snakes like to burrow in places like this."

The two of them walked around behind a tomb bun and found Qingbei yelling into a cave.

"Rabbit hole!? Qingbei must have smelled it. There must be a rabbit in it!"

Xu Dahai became happy. He lay on the ground and looked inside. It was dark and he couldn't see anything.

"Huzi, have you brought any matches? Light some hay to smoke it."

"Ah!? Fourth brother, forget it! Let's leave quickly."

Xu Hu's face was full of resistance, his calves were trembling, and he quickly pulled Xu Dahai's sleeves hard.

"Okay, okay, let's go back."

Xu Dahai whistled, and the dogs followed them out:

"If you are still afraid, go to my grandfather's yard, borrow the bayonet that my grandfather used to kill the Japanese, and keep it under your pillow at night.

With that bayonet around, no one dared to get close. "

"Yeah, this is a good idea!" Xu Hu's eyes lit up and he bared his teeth in joy.

Xu Dahai laughed.

He suddenly understood that it was better to block things than to open them up. With a thought, he continued:

"Would you like to take you to the Martyrs' Mausoleum on Fortress Mountain? Our land of China is guarded by countless heroic spirits. Go there and feel the righteousness of the world!

Besides, as the descendants of revolutionary soldiers, we are different in our hearts. When we see the mess, it’s too late for us to hide! "

Xu Hu became confident after being told that, and he held his head up excitedly, and the last bit of haze in his heart dissipated.

Xu Dahai laughed again.

On the way back, I encountered a small river ditch, took a few sips of water, and finally washed my face, neck, and arms.

When the breeze blows, the water vapor evaporates. It's so cool!

The river water is very clear, and there are some small willow fish swimming around in it.

Due to excessive movements when washing the face, the sediment at the bottom surged up, but it didn't take long for the sediment to sink to the bottom and the river water would be clear again.

"Keep on going!"

"Yeah, it's so hot. The wheat is almost ripe."

Looking at the wheat field not far away, Xu Dahai felt a sense of heat in his heart almost as a conditioned reflex - when the wheat matures, the weather will be very hot, and the wheat must be cut, pressed, and raised...

Joy is mixed with painful memories.

Riding on the 28 big pole and looking at the wheat fields, he couldn't help but think of the song "Wind Blowing Wheat Waves" written by Li Jian in later generations.

"Under the blue sky in the distance ~ there are golden waves of wheat ~"

.

When the two of them entered Xujiatun'er with their dog, they passed by the entrance of the canteen.

Xu Dahai saw Uncle Yang parking his car in the shade of a willow tree and sitting on the grass next to him to rest.

"Uncle Yang, do you have any ice cream?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there are more, how many do you want!?"

Uncle Yang was just about to light up the dry cigarette, but he stopped smoking now. With a smile on his face, he quickly stood up and stepped forward.

There is no school today this weekend.

A group of children didn't mind the heat either. They were on the dirt platform in the northwest - jumping rubber bands, playing sandbags, kicking shuttlecocks, playing hopscotch, playing snaps, bouncing glass balls, bumping canes, etc.

It’s quite fun to play.

The scene was quite lively.

Xu Dahai shouted with a smile: "Come on, come on, everyone! There is ice cream to eat!"

hula~

Xiao Shitou ran the fastest, like rabbits, and others also ran over one after another, including Xiao Tingzi, Xiao Hua, Xiao Xiang and others.

"dad!"

"Yeah, I heard you." Xu Dahai brought ice cream to the children and said to Xiao Tingzi:

"Why don't you play at the chicken farm?"

"It's all chicken manure! It stinks over there!"

The other children all had one ice cream stick each, but Xiao Tingzi took two ice cream sticks, raised her chin, and looked arrogant, as if to say - my dad paid for it! I want to eat more!

but.

Xu Dahai directly took the ice cream in her right hand back:

"Just eat one. You are quite greedy, little girl. Give this to your mother."

There are six sorbets left in total.

After Xu Dahai paid the money, he gave two coins to Xu Hu and returned to his courtyard with the remaining four coins.

There were washed clothes hanging on the clothesline, and the clothes were fluttering in the breeze.

There was a squeaking sound in the house, and Wang Xiuxiu was cooking.

In the yard, Kunkun and his younger brothers and sisters were gathering grass - they had already covered half of the yard, and they were quite fast.

There are some fallen weeds piled around the yard, which have become wilted in the sun, and there are butterflies flying around.

"Let's pick up the grass later, come and eat the sorbet!!"

"Finish this."

"You kid, be obedient and finish your sorbet first, otherwise the sorbet will melt."

Xu Dahai gave one to each of the three children, and he only had the last one left in his hand.

It's the one that Xiao Tingzi took from before.

After entering the house, Xu Dahai tore off the wrapping paper and took a big bite of the ice cream, then handed most of the remaining ice cream to Wang Xiuxiu:

"Xiuxiu, eat ice cream to relieve the fever."

"Why don't you buy more?"

Wang Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled. After wiping the sweat on her forehead with a towel, she took the ice cream and ate it.

Bing Bing cool.

It really relieves the heat.

"It's all settled, but Xiao Tingzi and the others were playing there. I asked them to take one each, and gave Hu Zi two more..."

"Well, is Huzi okay now?"

"It's okay. There are many rabbit holes over there. It's normal for rabbits to run there."

Xu Dahai was talking to Wang Xiuxiu.

Sudden.

Mom walked over in a hurry and said that her brother-in-law Jiang Ning had arrived.

"Yeah, I'll be there right away."

Xu Dahai first packed the money in a leather bag, all of which were hundred-yuan bills, one pile worth 10,000 yuan, five piles in total. Then he took the leather bag and went to his mother's yard.

Jiang Ning was sitting on a chair, chatting with her father Xu Houtian in the room. When she saw Xu Dahai entering the room, she quickly stood up.

"Sit down, sit down, stand up, haha?"

In addition to Dad and Jiang Ning, there was a dark-faced man in the room - about thirty years old, wearing a gray vest and a big face, as if someone owed him money.

"Who is this……?"

"Oh, this is my cousin Jiang Ziyang." Brother-in-law Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed and explained:

"He...he said he heard someone mention you and wanted to come and meet you."
