all the way

In the early autumn, Fengxi Mountain is full of verdant trees, and a gust of mountain wind blows through, and the refreshing coolness with fruit fragrance makes people feel refreshed physically and mentally.

In the courtyard of the Liu family, among the dense branches and leaves of the big persimmon tree, three little guys are one after another, carefully crawling forward with the branches like a swarm of big worms. With a small cloth bag hanging around his neck, Su Xiaohui followed closely behind him, sitting on the lowest branch of a tree, watching the two brats nervously.

The persimmons have already started to turn yellow. The two cats are very ambitious. They want to find the biggest persimmons by themselves and let their grandma and mother make the most delicious "lazy persimmons". However, their small arms and legs can't reach the high persimmons , I had to ask my younger brother Liu Xin to help pick the persimmons, and the two little guys were responsible for putting them in bags and transporting them down.

Liu Chuan has been working on cases day and night recently, and has not been back for two weeks. Su Xiaohui is still teaching the third year of high school this year, and takes a break once every two weeks. Concentrate on accompanying the two leather monkeys, cultivate a good relationship with them, and prepare for returning to Rongze to go to kindergarten next year.

Su Xiaohui had never climbed a tree before, and she was quite scared, but in order to get close to her son, she went all out.

The big persimmon tree grows crookedly, and with a ladder, it was actually quite easy to get up, but when she came up and looked at the slope of the nursing home below, she realized that she seemed to have a fear of heights, and her hands and feet trembled when she looked down.

Under the big oak tree, the cat was sitting leisurely on the swing, and from time to time glanced at Liu Rui who was lying on the stone table with Liu Wei and doing homework.

Last week, Liu Rui, Liu Wei, and Mao'er went home together. They were covered in sweat on the way. After the sweat fell off, Mao'er, Liu Kui, and Liu Wei took Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei to the Fengxi River. Take a bath, because Liu Rui has been weak since he was a child, and now the river water has started to be a little chilly in the evening, and his family members don't let him go, but Liu Rui refuses, insisting that his health has recovered a long time ago, and he is fine at all. Following them down the river, he developed a high fever in the middle of the night. Liu Kui and Liu Changqing carried him to Wangning Health Center overnight.

Wang Junyu let him live there for three days, without water, and just gave him injections and medicine for observation. After the fever subsided completely, Xiumei was reluctant to let him go to school, so she ate and drank at home for a week.

The first thing Maoer did when he got home yesterday was to make up lessons for Liu Rui. Liu Rui is already good at studying, and he has been studying by himself at home these days. It is actually very easy for Maoer to make up lessons for him. Liu Rui just needs advice on some difficult points Just one click.

However, Maoer finally had an opportunity to be a teacher, so he would let it go easily. He couldn't teach, so he just stared at Liu Rui's homework, hoping that Liu Rui could make mistakes and let him guide him, and show that he is a teacher authority.

Next to the swing frame, Sun Chang'e, Xiumei, and Yufang were making little jackets for Liu Yun and Liu Lei. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge. Now the two little guys only hang a jacket at noon, but they have to wear jackets in the morning and evening, and this Two are too much trouble, and two sets of jackets are not enough to change in a day.

The two little guys both had sweaters knit by Su Xiaohui, but the family members felt that the sweaters would not block the wind, so a small jacket made of cotton would be better worn.

Liu Xia sat next to the swing, tearing up the corn and talking with his father, elder brother and his family.

"...When you write to your fifth brother, try to persuade him more. Training is indeed important, but you can't work too hard. After all, it is not a real battlefield. In fact, even if it is a real battlefield, there are times when you can breathe. After all, both sides are human. , when you can’t bear it physically, tell him not to push himself so hard.”

Liu Xia nodded: "I know Uncle, I have been persuading my fifth brother, and he wrote back saying that he has a sense of propriety, and he would never make fun of his body."

"The same goes for you and your third brother, as the same sentence, we will do our best to do the work well, but we must not lose our health.

Last week, when Xiaowei came back from Maoer and the others, they said that they hadn’t seen your third brother for a week, and Maoer couldn’t see him, so what else could he say? He went out to run some errands in the middle of the afternoon, Xiaowei, Xiaorui I can't see him even if I live there, and I have been paying back for three or five days, day and night.

There are some things that husband and wife can't say, and your third sister-in-law is like holding him back if she talks too much.

Go talk to him, just tell him, if you don’t want to do anything like that again, just say what I said, let him come back to plant the land, and there is still a time when he is holding a hoe to catch his breath.

Besides, doing their kind of work is not a single-minded effort to succeed. You have to use your brain. He hasn't even slept much for so many days. How can his brain be clear?If you don't have a clear mind, can you solve the case? "

"Well, I see. When I go back, I will talk to third brother about him."

"It's the same with you. You don't dare to rely on your youth and good health so you don't know how to adjust it. No matter how good your body is, it won't last years of ruining it. After working hard during the day, you must sleep well at dusk to make up for it. Do you hear me?"

"I heard."

……

Liu Xia was very honest after returning home this time. From the few times when Liu Kui picked them up on the northern slope of Shangyao and handed melons on his head, to when Sun Chang'e pointed his forehead and scolded him after returning home, he responded with a smile. , Not a word of stubbornness.

As for Liu Yu who has been annoyed and refused to talk to him since following him, he even courted him with a smiling face until he coaxed Liu Yu into laughing.

He has also thought about it these days. If it were someone else in the family who hid the big thing about buying a house from him and borrowed money from others, he would probably be angry too. The fourth brother even complained after he left for college. He couldn't bear to say a word, this time he would only get angry with himself when he was really in a hurry.

But the cat quit, he was upset for Liu Xia, he endured his uncle beating my uncle on the head, the uncle is the boss, not to mention he was not willing to use force when he saw it, but the fourth uncle actually showed the face of the uncle, this cat No matter what, I can't bear it. My uncle worked so hard at work, and finally came home. I just want to be happy. No one can make my uncle unhappy.

On the top of Shangyao Slope, Mao'er stood in front of Liu Yu majestically with his hips crossed and stared at him: "Fourth Uncle, my little uncle is talking to you, if he tells you three more words, you won't say anything, hehe , I won’t say a word to you until I leave.”

Liu Yu blinked and looked at the cat for a while, then turned her head and asked Liu Xia with a smile: "Baby, do you know why Yongfang is so attracted to that bastard Liu Miao? Let me tell you, that bastard Liu Miao is actually... "

Cat's little neck twitched: "Hmph, it's not too bad!"

Every time Liu Xia goes home now, he feels as if he has just come back, and he is about to leave again before he has even begun to enjoy the comfort and comfort of home.

He still felt this way this time, which made him a little discouraged for a while, why does it seem that even Niu Sannier is more comfortable than himself?How happy it is to see her sitting on the riverside and eating lazy persimmons heartlessly.

Liu Yun and Liu Lei each came over with a small Ou and sat in front of him. The two little guys looked at the buns in the little Ou, and suddenly stood up and tiptoed to look at the road leading to the mountain in the distance. Yun asked him: "Uncle, why isn't Dad coming back? Meat buns are delicious, how can Dad eat if he doesn't come back?"

Liu Xia hugged him on his lap: "Do you miss Dad?"

The little guy nodded a little listlessly, he saw Su Xiaohui and Liu Xia packing up their things and preparing to leave: "Are you looking for my father?"

Liu Xia nodded: "Yeah."

"Then, tell Dad to come back, otherwise, the meat buns will be gone."

"Come on, then you have to miss him, or he won't want to come back."

"I miss him, grandma said, dad let Rongze... earn money for a good boy, buy meat to eat, I am a good boy."

"Well, you and Xiaolei are good boys, stay home and wait for daddy, he will be back next week."

"In the middle, tell Dad to come back quickly and play with the good boy."

The cat happened to come over with a plate of big steamed stuffed buns and a bowl of fungus egg soup: "Third Uncle is now playing with you two on his back, and you two grow up to be filial to Third Uncle."

Liu Lei came over and squeezed into Liu Xia's arms and said, "Grandma said, we are very filial... Good boy, meat buns, give it to mom and dad."

Now that Liu Chuan is back home, Sun Chang'e and Xiumei also ask him to accompany the children as much as possible. Every time Liu Chuan comes back, he tries his best to get along with the two little guys. Every time he goes home, he feels more tired than training in the army. Fortunately, Now I have finally achieved success. If there is any special food at home, the two little guys will think of their parents.

Liu Kui came over and hugged Liu Lei on his lap: "Come on, uncle hugs my good boy and tells my uncle to eat quickly."

Mao'er handed a steamed bun to Liu Xia, and sat down beside him to eat a steamed stuffed bun: "Uncle, don't you want to go?"

Liu Xia looked at the cave dwelling they lived in: "Yes, but if we don't leave, the baby and grandparents won't have meat buns to eat."

Liu Kui sighed secretly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Liu Xia's head, Liu Xia gave his eldest brother a bright smile: "Our house is so beautiful, every time I come back, I don't want to leave, hehe, am I worthless, brother?" ?”

Liu Kui said, "Why is this worthless kid? If you don't want to go home once you go out, then brother and uncle and mother will die of grief?"

Liu Xia said: "That's not it. Didn't you read it, Sixth Brother? He went to a prosperous and corrupt place in France. Many people wanted to immigrate as soon as he went. He still missed our family and cried."

Not to mention Fifth Brother, he said that he felt that nowhere was as good as ours, and he was worried that if he came back one time, he would never want to go out again.

Brother, I want to go out and see the world, but no matter where I go, I still miss our home, and I still think our home is the most beautiful, hehe, except that our land does not grow crops well, and the harvest is old. "

This year, the harvest of autumn crops in several villages in the south of Wangning is only one-tenth of that of other places. The continuous heavy rain in July destroyed all the corn and millet.

After the rain stopped, the farmers took the time to replant corn. However, such a delicate species of crops is very particular about the season. It was planted more than a month late, and the weather was very dry afterwards. Most of the corn ears in Liujialing were only small. Babies' fists are as big as their fists, and many of them have only half-drawn corn kernels.

The day Liu Xia came back, he saw the ears of corn that had been uncoated, and began to plan in his mind who to buy grain from.

However, when they were chatting in their cave at night, Liu Yu asked him to go back and send a message to his third brother Liu Chuan, telling Liu Chuan not to take care of the food this year. Once the seeds are planted, he, Liu Miao, and Jianbin will send the food back.

Liu Kui looked at his big courtyard: "Even if we are poor and the land is thin, I can't bear to part with our family."

Liu Xia said, "That's right, all of us are!"

On the day Liu Xia and the others came back, they saw an announcement at the bus station that, starting from the National Day on October 09 this year, Rongze’s buses to each township had been increased by two, at 30:04 am and 30:[-] pm at the same time. So Liu Xia and the others can leave after lunch, and they can stay at home for three or four hours longer than before.

After lunch, it's almost time.

Sun Chang'e and Sun Yufang separated sugar cakes, vegetable corners, and steamed buns and bagged them in the same way;

Xiumei hugged Liu Rui and felt uncomfortable over there. She wanted Liu Rui to stay at home for another week, but Liu Rui was in a hurry to leave. He would have a monthly exam when he returned to school. He didn't want to delay it. How to convince the public with test scores?

Liu Kui was trying to persuade Xiumei that the child just caught a cold and had a fever, and it was not a serious illness. He couldn't miss school, and he shouldn't be too delicate.

Liu Xin has been holding Liu Wei's hand, not wanting to let him go, but wanting to send him to Wangning.

Liu Xin has already gone to school in the village this year, and he knows that school cannot be delayed casually, but he still doesn't want to let his brothers go.

Su Xiaohui hugged the two little ones and told them over and over again that she had to listen to her grandmother and mother, and that she couldn't let her uncle run many laps on her back every day before going to bed. The uncle was very tired from working during the day.

Liu Yun said: "Then, Mom, why don't you ask Dad to come back and carry me?"

Liu Xia was sitting on a tree bump, his chin knocking on the stone table. He heard Liu Yun's words just now, and he figured it out immediately. He felt that working outside was really meaningful, but, but, he still didn't go!

Mao'er fought for a lot of rights and interests for my uncle in front of the Bodhisattva, and ran out happily, but saw my uncle knocking his chin in a daze, and felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, so he hurried to Liu Xia to comfort him: " Uncle, don't worry, when I grow up, I can earn a lot of money, so you don't have to go to work to earn money, and you can play as many days as you want with our family."

Liu Xia turned his head, Mao'er took the opportunity to put a hand under the side of his face, Liu Xia said: "This is what you said, words don't count as spankings."

"Well, talking doesn't count. I took off my pants and told you to spank."

"Middle, five years after you graduate from college, I'll put aside all my belongings, eat my fill, and do nothing but play."

"Well, you don't have to wait for a long time. As soon as I go to college, you just play around and don't do anything. I will follow your example and earn money in college. What a wonderful thing to buy for you."

Liu Xia stood up with a "huh", picked up the cat and turned it around in a big circle: "Oh, you are so filial, good boy, let's go, open the way, it will take several years for you to grow up, now my uncle has to Let me earn money to buy good things for you first."

The cat laughed out loud.

Liu Wei said to Sun Chang'e and Sun Yufang: "Look at my uncle, he is sad and laughs at other times, just like a child."

Sun Yufang said: "I think Mao'er is Yao'er's pistachio. As soon as Mao'er passes by, Yao'er will have nothing to worry about."

Sun Chang'e tied up the cloth pocket containing the "lazy persimmon" and put it together with several other cloth pockets: "Isn't it? It's been like this since I was a child. Don't care about the collapse of the world. Whenever you see a cat, you will be afraid of everything." alright.

The same is true for Maoer, a little turtle. Usually Taolili scares people to death, but when he sees his uncle, he is no longer so obedient and sensible. "

Liu Changqing was going to set up a shelf car, and Liu Xia and Mao'er were about to help, when Liu Changchun came over and said to Mao'er, "Boy, come with Grandpa."

Mao'er followed him suspiciously, wondering why grandpa couldn't say something in front of his uncle.

When he came under the big oak tree, Liu Changchun took out a stack of relatively new money: "This is 200 yuan. Your uncle will buy a house, and his hands are tight. You use this money to supplement him..."

Mao'er pushed the money back: "Grandpa, my uncle is rich, and I have more than 1000 left after paying the rent. My uncle also said that he hasn't bought anything for you for a long time."

Liu Changchun forcefully stuffed the money into the cat's hand: "I know, it was borrowed by your uncle, so can it be your own money? Be good, or grandpa will get angry. You two usually buy more meat to eat with this money. In the middle, you are both old and thin, you need to make up for it."

Liu Xia knew what was going to happen when he saw Liu Changchun calling the cat alone, and ran over after he got the car.

But before he could open his mouth, Liu Changchun pushed him and said, "Don't mess with me, baby, you should go, and come back when you have time. If you are always nervous at work and our house is far away, don't run back and forth. It’s rare to rest for a day, and you have to run dozens of miles, your uncle, your elder brother, and I feel sorry for you.”

He pushed Liu Xia and Mao'er all the way to Liu Yu who was pulling a shelf cart at Pokou. Liu Rui, Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei were all sitting in the cart, each wearing a wicker hat , Seeing the two of them coming, Liu Yun and Liu Lei yelled for them to get in the car.

Liu Changqing put a straw hat on Liu Xia: "Let's go, baby, come back twice more when you have free time, don't run back and forth if you are always nervous, your mother and I will not be careless."

Sun Chang'e rubbed the cat's face: "Be good, wait for your big brother and uncle to make your big bed, grandma will go to see your new house."

The cat said: "You promised this yourself, grandma, if you don't go then, I will

My uncle and I will come back and carry you back. "

Maoer didn't expect it, because he asked He Jialiang to make the European-style bed with a parabolic radian and a pillar like a pile of dung, only with a picture in a magazine. It was too difficult to get up, so Chang'e Sun fulfilled her promise in advance and held a moving ceremony for him and Liu Xia together with the whole family when only one bed board was made out of the bed.
