Rebirth's Private Kitchen

In April, Town No. [-] Middle School and senior three ushered in two mock exams, which were the second mock exam in the country and the third mock exam in the whole district.The two exams came in a row, and the students were miserable.The school was sympathetic, and the make-up class on Saturday was directly waived, and a day off was given.

Because of the exam, Tang Lin didn't go back to Tangjia Village for the past three weeks. He wanted to have a holiday, so he packed two clothes and got on the bus back to Tangjia Village after class on Friday.

On the hillside, only Mr. Kang's "daughter" Ah Huang, the old scalper, was grazing.Tang Lin felt a little strange, according to how Master Kang treated Ah Huang, he would not tie him here alone.

Tang Lin returned to the small villa and asked Mr. Tang directly.Mr. Tang smoked his pipe and said with a smile: "Master Kang's son and daughter-in-law came two days ago and advised him to sell Ah Huang and live with them in the urban area, but Mr. Kang didn't want to. The people on both sides are like this. froze."

Kang Ye's son is about 50 years old this year, and his grandson seems to be studying in college. Tang Lin met their family during the Spring Festival.The life of the older generation used to be very hard, people were very poor, and it was a problem to have enough to eat. Many people couldn't bear it and they collapsed and passed away.Kang Ye lost his wife very early, and never remarried later, just an old man raised his only son with a lot of shit.

I heard Kang Ye said that his son was very naughty when he was young, and was often ridiculed as a "child without a mother".Kang Ye insisted on the principle of filial piety under the stick. If the child is not sensible, he will be beaten.Mr. Tang often said that Mr. Kang was a very ruthless person when he was young. When the child made troubles, he boiled hot water and poured it directly on his hands. The pain made the child scream and his hands were full of blisters.After teaching his son, Kang Ye would take out medicinal wine and rub the child's wound.At night, the child was so painful that he would moan in his sleep, and Master Kang took care of him all night, and the elders couldn't help but shed tears.

Kang Ye's son began to be afraid of him, and even hated him.But he didn't dare to do anything out of line, the hand that was reddened by the hot water and covered with blisters was the shadow.Later, a classmate of Mr. Kang’s son in the neighboring village, a boy who used to be mischievous like him and didn’t like to listen to adults, invited a group of people to ride motorcycles on the road outside the village at night.At that time, the roads were very narrow, with field ridges or ponds on both sides, and they were all gravel roads, which were not smooth.

The group of them were very happy and drank. The car driven by the boy was at the end. If one didn't pay attention, the motorcycle was tripped by a big rock, and the car led people directly down the pond on the side of the road.His companion traveled a long way, only to belatedly realize that there were three people missing from the team, and only then did everyone start to get scared.When they turned back to look for someone, they found the three missing people near a pond.

The other two were lucky enough to fall on the edge of the pool, only to break their legs and bleed a little.But that boy was not so lucky, half of his body fell into the pond, and he was out of breath when he found out.

Others said that the boy probably had a bad life, and the pond was actually not deep, only reaching the young man's knees.But the boy was injured when he fell, drank alcohol, and fell into the pond. He didn't have the strength to support himself and was drowned alive.

Kang Ye's son Nahui secretly went to see the boy's funeral, and the boy's parents cried very emotionally.When the lifted coffin passed by Mr. Kang's son, he felt cold all over his body.

After this incident, Kang Ye's son became completely obedient, and Kang Ye's temper improved a lot, and the relationship between the two was greatly eased.

Kang Ye's son married a daughter-in-law in his 20s, and he took her to the city to start a business. After having children, the couple settled down.They wanted to bring Kang Ye to live together in the city many times, but Kang Ye just didn't want to. He felt that there was an exclusive single family in the city, and there was no one to chat with once the gate was closed. It was not as interesting as Tangjia Village.

On the night of Tang Lin's return, Mr. Kang's son went back to the city for business matters.Kang Ye couldn't stand his daughter-in-law's nagging, so he ran to Tang Lin's house.

Granny is not here today, she probably went to a neighboring village to find her little sister.When Lord Kang came, Mr. Tang poured him two glasses of snake wine.

Master Kang sighed, and said helplessly: "My wife is good at everything, but she is so good at talking, she can even make my ears callous."

Mr. Tang snorted: "You say that all the time, I don't know how happy you are in your heart. Which village around doesn't say that your daughter-in-law is good, she has a good personality, she is also hardworking, and the housework is neat."

Kang Ye chuckled, touched his bald head, and drank a cup: "That's right, I have cleaned up the house these two days, I don't know where my feet are."

"Your son is capable, and your daughter-in-law is filial. They want to take you to the market, so why don't you like it? In our village, whoever is the same age as you, who doesn't want to live with his son or daughter, you are the only one who doesn't." Tang The old man shook his head and said.

Kang Ye put down his wine glass and sighed again: "Hey, they are all old and immortal. In the past, they had to be taken care of by the young couple. My grandson is also grown up. Don't people say that young people need private space now? I'm a bad old man How rough the living habits were in the past, isn't that making it difficult for them to do?"

When Tang Lin heard this, he couldn't help thinking of the many farces about husbands and wives, in-laws, and the elderly that he had seen on the Internet.It is not uncommon for some old people to be handicapped, with an old look on their body, whose taste cannot keep up with that of young people, and it is not uncommon for them to be rejected by their sons and grandchildren.

Kang Ye has lived such a long time, and the real things he has seen and heard can be written into a book.In the past two years, an old woman from a neighboring village told everyone that her son was promising, and that her son and daughter-in-law wanted to take her to live in the city.Later, he really went to the city, but he was sent back after living for less than half a year. His face was no longer as happy as it was before. When others asked him, he just kept silent and didn't say anything.

When everyone saw her like this, they guessed it, and felt very sad. Thinking of their sons and daughters, every family has hard-to-recite scriptures, so they can't say anything more.

"When you were young, I couldn't see that you were so cautious. In my opinion, your son and daughter-in-law are good. Your grandson even came to pay New Year's greetings to me during the Chinese New Year. He is also a sensible person. Don't worry." Mr. Tang told Kang Ye Another glass of wine was poured.

Kang Ye sipped his wine and said nothing.

"By the way, what did the village party secretary say about the land reclamation?" Mr. Tang asked.

Landfill?When Tang Lin heard these two words, he immediately thought of some things in later generations.

Lord Kang put down his wine glass and said: "How can I say, how many young people are left in the village? Most of them have gone out to develop, and they stay here waiting to starve to death. The fields are barren, and the old ones can't be planted anymore. For those who do it, they think it’s okay to fill in the land and build a house for everyone.”

There are really self-built houses on landfill.Tang Lin finally remembered this.A lot of the vast land outside the small villa is not taken care of, and only a circle of others around it is planted to order food for self-sufficiency.When Tang Lin was a child, in their house, Mr. Tang not only built a pig farm and raised three or four pigs, but also raised a yellow cow.That would not only be the case with Mr. Tang, many people in the village either raised chickens and ducks or raised pigs and cattle, and there were often scenes of cattle being used for farming in the fields.

I remember that there used to be a big pond in the woods in the opposite direction on the other side of the hillside, near where Kang Ye tied Ah Huang.There are also many fish in the big pond. At that time, many young people and children would go fishing there.Later, when Tang Lin grew up, the big pond was filled in. First, it was filled in for farming, but now the place has been abandoned, and even the small forest has been bulldozed to build houses.

"I heard that the government seems to have issued an order that all the cemeteries in the village have to be moved. I heard that the burial of ashes is now advocated, and coffins cannot be carried into the ground." Kang Ye continued.

"This is not kind." Mr. Tang said silently.In the minds of the older generation, it is safe to leave the body after death and bury it in the soil with the coffin. Now that the ashes are buried or something, people can only be transported to the crematorium to be burned to ashes after death. These old people find it hard to accept of.

Tang Lin was also silent when he heard this. The burial of ashes is not recommended by two places in one place, but burial is banned by the country.It's okay in the city, everyone is used to burial of ashes, but for some rural or remote places, it is very incomprehensible.But they can’t fight against the country. People in the countryside can only think of their own ideas. After someone in their family dies, they will still make a coffin, and then put the person in the coffin and secretly bury it on the ground at night. The coffin will be raised the next day. After performing deeds, they were finally transported to the crematorium in the city.

Tang Lin can't say anything about this matter. At the beginning, there were people who were buried secretly, but they will be caught up later. You have to be very careful when you sneak up at night. The general trend, Tang Lin, who is reborn in this world, can only watch with his eyes open.

"As for the land reclamation, we should be called to a meeting in the next two days." The burial is a matter of national conditions, and they can only complain.Kang Ye turned the topic back to the matter of land reclamation.

"It doesn't matter if you build a house, the village will eventually develop." Mr. Tang shook his head.

Master Kang chatted with Mr. Tang for a while, and when his daughter-in-law came to arrest him, Master Kang reluctantly followed him home.

After watching Master Kang and his wife leave, Tang Lin turned around and asked Mr. Tang, "Grandpa, are you willing to fill up our land just like that?"

Before the rebirth, Mr. Tang passed away, and Mrs. Tang listened to Tang Lin. At that time, the village meeting unanimously agreed to fill the land, and Tang Lin agreed.Now that Mr. Tang is still there, although Tang Lin feels that one or two of them may not be able to stop the trend of land reclamation, he still wants to know what his grandfather thinks.

Mr. Tang raised his hand and patted Tang Lin on the back of the head: "This is a good thing, that land is just for you to build a house and marry a wife. Land, if you really want to plant it, we can go to the open space in the backyard of the mother-in-law's house and open a small piece of land to plant it. .”

Tang Lin laughed when he heard this.
