Home of Rebirth

Xia Yue has an aunt who lives in the countryside. A few years ago, Mother Xia’s mother passed away early. This old aunt took good care of her, so Mother Xia has no contact with other elders, except for this old aunt. emotion.

So this time, I wanted to take Xia Yue to live with my aunt in the countryside for a while, and visit my aunt by the way.

It's just that the way to go is not smooth.

There are two buses going from their cities to the countryside every day, but the buses are often overloaded, and they may have to stand for two hours.

It was really a pain, so Mama Xia asked someone to drive them there.

However, when the car drove halfway, it had to pass a large section of yellow dirt road.

And just after it rained, the wheel of the car sank directly and couldn't move.

The driver is a young man. He has not been working for the bus company for a long time. Now he is driving for the boss and even drove into the mud. He has been very nervous all the time.

Xia Yue also went down to help, and the last two of them got all dirty, with big mud on their shoes.

I set off in the morning, and I didn't get to the place until the afternoon after stumbling like this.

My aunt is a very ordinary old lady in the countryside. Her back is a bit hunched, but she is very energetic. She wears a blue calico shirt. She has been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. When she saw Xia Yue's car, she immediately smiled.

Joyfully ran up: "Why did we get here, a bus has already passed by."

"The road is too difficult to walk, it's full of mud." Xia's mother hurriedly got out of the car, took the old lady's hand affectionately, and then pushed Xia Yue forward: "Old aunt, look who this is?"

The old lady raised her eyes to look at Xia Yue carefully, and then said suspiciously: "Oh, I'm getting old, and my memory is not working. How can I remember that your son is a son?"

"..." Xia's mother was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this my son, my Xia Yue!!! You don't remember, the year I gave birth to him, you also came!"

"Ah..." The old lady raised her face, looking at Xia Yue's fair and clean face, she was more energetic than the most handsome girl in the village, and it took her a long time to laugh: "Oh my god, I'm really useless Ah, my memory is bad, and my eyesight is bad, I suddenly thought it was someone's girl, but the young man is so handsome, he is blessed at first glance."

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Mother Xia sighed in her heart, helped her aunt to walk back and said: "Where is the blessing, I can't worry about it for a day, I would rather he was a girl."

"Why are you not blessed? Blessed is the eldest son who is all in peace."

The old lady patted Mama Xia's arm.

I remember that when Xia's mother was pregnant with Xia Yue, she wondered whether it was a boy or a girl.

At that time, that's what the old lady told her: It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are healthy and healthy, everything is fine.

Xia Yue followed Mother Xia, pretending to be cute.

Meeting many people from the village along the way, my aunt took him by the hand and introduced him everywhere.

He also yelled at people generously. Everyone he met, regardless of whether they were men or women, stared at him curiously. It looks like it's pinched."

Mother Xia also brought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, and distributed them to the people in these villages.

However, my aunt was careful and was reluctant to let Xia's mother spend too much, so the cigarettes were counted one by one, and the rest were stuffed into Xia Yue's pocket for him to take back.

After walking more than half a circle in the village, I arrived at my aunt's house.

It is a grand four-and-a-half-room tile-roofed house with a large yard, high walls with barbed wire on it, and the gate of the courtyard is also a very tall iron gate.

Compared with the low bungalows beside the road, it is a world of difference.

The original house of my aunt's house was also an upper house, and it had to be repaired every year, otherwise it would be easy to collapse when the wind was strong.

Later, when Xia Yue's family got rich, Xia's mother used the money to rebuild the house.

Tens of thousands of dollars are nothing in Xia's mother's eyes now, but in this relatively backward small village, they have to save money for a lifetime.

Because they don't know yet that the countryside will become rich in the future, and at least tens of thousands of yuan will be spent on farming just for a year.

As soon as my aunt led them into the courtyard, she saw a middle-aged woman with short hair coming out of the house. She was a little fat and came forward to greet them with a smile.

"This is my eldest daughter-in-law." The aunt turned her head and introduced to Xia's mother: "Your elder brother has gone to the land and won't be back for a while, your sister-in-law knows you are coming, so I left it for you to cook for you. "

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xia Yue and said to him, "My child, you have to call me big aunt."

"Auntie..."

Xia Yue shouted obediently.

In fact, this person has met in his previous life.

In the previous life, when Mama Xia was still alive, due to family conditions, there were few people walking around. Later, Mama Xia passed away. At the funeral, my aunt was too old to come, so I asked my children to come and see.

So, in his previous life, Xia Yue had never met this aunt, but he had met several of her children.

My aunt's wife left early, and she raised three children by herself.

The eldest and the second are sons, and the youngest is a daughter. Now she is married to the next village, and she can often come back to visit. The eldest son has been working in the village, and the second son’s family has gone out to work. A teenage son is left to his aunt. take care of.

Because Xia Yue's family used to live in a bungalow, so there is nothing unaccustomed to it in the countryside now, but I feel nostalgic.

At night, the lights were turned off early in the countryside, Xia's mother slept in her aunt's room, the mother and daughter chatted by the way, Xia Yue was arranged in the second uncle's room, and the driver Xiao Li slept next door.

"This is your second uncle's house. Didn't he go to work in the city, and he only comes back to live in occasionally on holidays. Although it is empty, it is not deserted, and it can be used for people." The aunt put the mosquito net on him, and gave him some light. He lit the mosquito coils, and then instructed: "When you are going to sleep, close the windows and turn off the fan, otherwise you will catch a cold if you are greedy for cold in the middle of the night. I heard from your mother that you are not in good health, so you have to be more careful."

Xia Yue nodded quickly: "Understood, don't be too busy, auntie, go to bed quickly."

"Well, okay, you can rest too, if you shout something, your uncle and I can hear it."

After seeing off his aunt, Xia Yue lay on the mattress alone, staring blankly at the beam.

It's been a long time since I slept on the kang, and I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I was at Meng Huaiyuan's house. At that time, every household turned off the lights early, but Xia Yue and Meng Huaiyuan were never sleepy, and they had to fight on the kang every day in the middle of the night. Only then was he willing to sleep.

Just when Xia Yue was lamenting that those bright and innocent days were gone forever, someone suddenly tapped on the glass of his room.

He was startled, and looked up, and there was a dark figure standing in the yard.

Blinking his eyes, he suddenly trembled all over.

Quickly reached out and pushed the window open: "Meng Huaiyuan... why are you here?????"

Standing outside the window, Meng Huaiyuan gestured to him to shut up, and then said in a low voice, "Open the door first and let me in."

Xia Yue nodded, turned around and jumped off the kang, and opened the door for him without any shoes on.

As soon as the door opened, Meng Huaiyuan came in, stretched out his arms and hugged him up, first kissed him on the cheek, and then said: "I don't even wear shoes when I go to the ground."

There was no light in the room, only the faint moonlight from outside came in.

Xia Yue was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but just stared straight at Meng Huaiyuan.

"Don't know?"

Meng Huaiyuan frowned, couldn't help but kissed again, and then put him on the kang.

Xia Yue managed to calm down his excitement, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I knew about it when you went out with your aunt, but I didn't dare to follow. I was afraid that my aunt would know, so I asked someone to go to Uncle Xia's place to inquire. Only then did I know that you came here and drove all the way here."

"Then...then how did you find my aunt's house?"

"You can tell which one it is by looking at the house. Besides, your car is still parked at the door."

In summer, Meng Huaiyuan was covered in sweat. He drove here by himself. The first half of the road was smooth, but he got lost in the second half. After finally finding out the way, he got stuck in the mud like Xia Yue and the others. In the middle of the night, he tossed and tossed alone until it was dark before arriving at the place, and finally found Xia Yue's aunt's house in the dark all the way.

He secretly listened outside the door again, until he heard his aunt coming out of Xia Yue's room before he dared to climb over the wall and come in.

"Fortunately, I don't have a dog, otherwise it would not be so easy to come in."

Meng Huaiyuan wiped the sweat off his face, looked at Xia Yue's silhouette in the darkness, and felt sore in his heart: "I'm getting thinner and thinner."

"I've always been like this, it's easy to suffer in summer." Xia Yue got up from the kang, then closed the window, drew the curtains, and locked the door, so as not to open the door and window, whoever comes in again will see how many people in the room A big living person.

It's just like this, the room gets hotter, only the fan is whining, it can be better.
