Riding a donkey back to 60s

The autumn rain unexpectedly fell on this village in the mountains.It was still foggy outside at five o'clock in the morning, and the autumn rain was drifting down.In the summer night when I got up early in the morning, I put on my rain boots and a poncho, and then I picked up a bucket and pole to fetch water from the well outside the village.Because it was still early, and the weather was bad and cold, and the roads were muddy, there were hardly a few people in the summer night, and only a few people were in their own plots, probably picking vegetables!It's strange that Xia Ye didn't meet a single person when he arrived at the well!

Xia Ye went back and forth a few times, and it didn't take much effort to fill up the water tank at home, carefully press the baffle, and then go to the kitchen to light the fire in the stove, fill the pot with water, and Xia Ye took the water ladle Soaked some cornmeal noodles, then took out five eggs from the jar, washed the surface with water and put them into the pot. Just after covering the pot, Mother Xia appeared at the door of the kitchen.

"Yeba, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early! It's hard to go home from vacation, and you should rest more. Look at how thin you have been in the past ten days or so!" Mother Xia touched Xia Ye's face distressedly. cheek.

Xia Ye looked at Xia's mother helplessly: "Mother, it's not bitter at all, I'm getting better! The travel expenses in the factory will be reimbursed, don't worry! I won't lose myself!"

Mother Xia nodded, took out the pickles, soaked them in clear water from a basin, looked at the basin and said softly to Xia Ye: "Are you and Li Qiu okay yesterday? Did you quarrel?"

Xia Ye was a little shy when he heard this, and didn't know how to tell his mother about this matter, so he had to add fire to the stove to avoid embarrassment, and then said: "It was fine yesterday! We didn't quarrel!"

Xia's mother glanced at Xia Ye in disbelief, knowing her son is like her mother, if there is nothing wrong, how could she add firewood without measure!

"Don't fill it in any more, it will be blocked, and the fire will have to be extinguished!" Mother Xia reminded solemnly.

Xia Ye hurriedly took out the newly filled firewood, and was choked by the smoke without checking for a while, coughing and coughing twice.

I heard Xia's mother continue to say: "Yesterday your aunt mentioned to me about getting married again. It seems that she is determined to do it sooner, but I avoided it. This matter can't be delayed any longer. What are you doing?" What do you think, tell your mother!"

Xia Ye looked at Mother Xia in surprise, lowered her head, thought for a while, then raised her head again: "Mother, Li Qiu found out!"

Mother Xia's hands stopped, and she quickly turned her body to look at Xia Ye: "Is that okay? How can that child bear it? You are a dead child, you can't, you can't..." As for what not to do, Mother Xia thought He couldn't say it for a long time, but at this moment, his heart and eyes were full of distress for Li Liqiu.

Xia Ye hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, listen to me, I was taking a shower yesterday, and Li Qiu accidentally saw her, she, she said that she is still following me!" up.

After hearing this, Xia's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my God! I'm afraid that kid won't be able to bear it!"

Xia Ye rolled her eyes and thought, "Why don't you think about whether I can bear it!"

Xia's mother happily walked around in the kitchen: "Then girl Li Qiu, can you be a daughter-in-law? Are you really my daughter?"

Xia Ye said weakly: "Yes, that's right!" In the future she could foresee, she would step aside on Mother's side.

Xia's mother wiped her hands with the bib, stretched out her hand and untied the bib, and walked outside when she saw people.

Xia Ye quickly grabbed Xia's mother: "Mother, what are you doing?"

Mother Xia hurriedly nodded Xia Ye's head with her hands: "What are you doing? What can I do? I'm afraid you will be single! I'll go and fix a date for your aunt!"

Xia Ye said with a dark face: "Mom, you don't even look at what time it is, it's not suitable to go at this time! Let's cook first! I'm hungry!"

Mother Xia nodded Xia Ye's forehead as she listened: "Food bucket! You're hungry the moment you open your eyes! Why can't you be considerate of my mother's heart! It's just not as caring as Liqiu Nawa!"

Xia Ye felt that an unknown knife was piercing her heart, and she couldn't pull it out, maybe there would be more in the future. Are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were agreed to be enemies?

Amid Xia's mother's excitement and Xia Ye's resentment, breakfast was finally ready, with corn flour pancakes on top. Xia's mother added two drops of sesame oil to the pickles because she was happy.

While eating, Xia Ye kept looking at Xia's mother. Usually, Xia's mother is extremely frugal. When you order this sesame oil, you can smell the aroma of sesame seeds from afar.

"Mom, do we still have some sesame oil?" Xia Ye asked.

Mother Xia asked suspiciously, "Yes? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I was wondering if my mother poured out all the sesame oil bottles, because you want to collect the bottom, you poured it all into the pickles! If there are any, then I don't need to beat it!" Xia Ye said with a serious face.

"Oh! Look at someone who makes sesame oil all the time. You are the one who has been richer in the past two years. If you call me back, I won't be willing to let you go!" Mother Xia said.

It took a long time to realize: "Okay! Damn child, you are shaking your mother!" Xia Mu patted Xia Ye while talking.

Xia Ye had a laugh, "Who made your pickles so delicious today!"

"Why is it so fragrant!" Han Ying's voice came.None of the three of them went back to the educated youth spot last night, and they are all up now.

"The pickles my mother made for us today! She was willing to put oil in it! That's why it's delicious!" Xia Ye replied.

"Really? Then I have to eat more!" Han Ying said.

"Hehehe, you are not afraid of being caught!" Zhao Rui nodded to Han Ying with a smile.

Han Ying was already biting into pancakes and pickles. With food in her mouth, it was inconvenient to talk, so she just rolled her eyes at Zhao Rui.

Mother Xia looked at it and thought that Han Ying was choking, so she blew cold porridge and passed it over: "Yingzi, take a sip quickly and swallow it, don't choke! Eat slowly!"

Han Ying looked at Xia's mother blushing, took a sip from the bowl, chewed and swallowed the food slowly, and then said to Xia's mother: "Aunt Xia, your pickled vegetables are delicious!" Then she smiled .

Xia's mother nodded her forehead angrily: "It's delicious, but you can't eat too much, I'm tired, but don't care about you, what will you do if you don't have water to drink when you go to work!"

Liu Juan laughed: "Then let her be thirsty! If she drank too much water, she would search for toilets all over the mountains and plains!"

Xia's mother laughed when she thought about that scene.Han Ying looked at them in disbelief.

A few people were eating, and Zhao Rui asked suddenly: "However, Aunt Xia, is this a happy event? It looks like you are very happy today."

Mother Xia nodded: "Madam Zhao still understands me, I've been holding back all morning, thinking about talking about Xia Ye and Li Qiu with your Aunt Li!"

Liu Juan was surprised when she heard this: "But it seems that you are not old enough? You can't get a marriage certificate!"

Xia's mother shook her head and said: "Our country people are so particular about those things. How many people in the village have the marriage certificate you mentioned? Don't they all have several children dragging along, and they only apply when they need a certificate? In short, first Let’s talk when it’s over, hehe!”

After hearing this, Zhao Rui quickly raised the porridge: "That's a happy event, let's congratulate Aunt Xia and Xiao Ye with porridge!"

Mother Xia took a sip with a smile, thinking of having a good chat with Li Qiuniang before going to work.People are happier too.

Li Qiuniang over there was not happy, so she pulled the eldest daughter up early in the morning, and cooked with herself: "What time did you come back last night?"

Li Lichun looked at his mother, scooped a ladle of water into the pot, saw that the amount of water was almost there, put down the lid of the pot, lowered himself down and sat on the bench to add firewood to the firepit.

Li Qiuniang glanced at her stubborn daughter, beat her chest hard, and said, "Are you looking for that Li Liquan again? Talk to me!"

Li Lichun was silent without saying a word, Li Qiuniang's voice disturbed the neighbors again, and said softly: "How did I tell you that if you really want to be together, you must come to propose marriage, or else don't contact each other! "

Li Lichun put the firewood in his hand on the ground, and said: "I mentioned it, he said he would write a letter to ask his parents to come over, only a formal mention will be sincere!"

Li Qiuniang calmed down and asked in doubt: "Is that what you said? Didn't lie to you?"

Li Lichun shook his head and said: "It's impossible to lie to me, you wrote it in front of me! How can you lie? Mother, don't worry! I wanted to wait until his parents have confirmed it, and then I will tell you, but you are too anxious! "

"Am I in a hurry? I'm afraid that you will be cheated for nothing! As long as you live a stable life, it's too late for mother to be happy!" Li Qiuniang said happily.I thought in my heart that if I could marry a daughter-in-law, I would be consummated!

Li Qiuniang would never have imagined that her eldest daughter did not explain to her that the letter was about whether she could return to the city to get married and settle down!Instead of settling in Changshantun!

Seeing her mother's happy face, Li Lichun breathed a sigh of relief. She only hoped that Li Liquan had good news!With her current grades, her chances of being admitted to university are really slim!

When Li Qiu and the others were about to eat, the door was knocked, Xiao Shitou ran to open the door, and in the main room, he heard a voice from the yard: "Auntie, why are you here so early in the morning? Have you eaten yet?"

Then I heard Xia's mother's voice: "Eat, you are eating, go and eat! I want to talk to your mother!" Said and walked into the main room.

Li Qiuniang quickly stood up: "Sister, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong?"

Mother Xia looked at Li Liqiu with a smile on her face, and then she said to Li Qiuniang: "It's a little bit, but it's a good thing! You eat first, and after we're done, let's make up your mind!"

Li Qiuniang came to her senses as soon as she heard it, and quickly drank the porridge: "Sister, I'm fine, let's talk in the back room!"

Xia's mother saw that there was still half of the cornbread left, so she nodded with a smile: "Then let's talk, I can't wait for you to eat again!"

Li Qiuniang sat restlessly on the kang, and said to Xia's mother: "Sister, tell me what to do!"

Xia's mother glanced at Li Qiuniang and said: "You seem to have turned 18 this year, so I think I'll take care of things for them next year, right?"

When Li Qiuniang heard this, she naturally agreed: "Then what day? Sister!"

Mother Xia looked at Li Qiuniang and said, "Of course the sooner the better! But it depends on you."

Li Qiuniang thought about it: "Why don't you catch the spring break! But can Yewa make it there? Is there a holiday?"

Mother Xia slapped her thigh and said, "It doesn't matter if she is fake or not, she is not active in marrying a daughter-in-law? If she is fake, let her go!"

After talking, Mother Xia and Li Qiuniang looked at each other and laughed, very happy, both of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
