all the way

Because I only know that the county high school starts earlier than ordinary schools, but I don’t know the exact date. In the early morning of the second day of August, Liu Hai and Liu Yu accompanied Liu Ling to Wangning High School to ask about the situation. A little contact, know more clearly.

Liu Changqing beat stones, Liu Changchun weaved mats, Sun Chang'e used shoe soles to cook, Liu Kui and Xiumei went to hoe, and Liu Xia took three nephews to play coolly by the Fengxi River.

The cat's milk has been finished, and it's time for Liu Xia to milk the milk this evening. He has to wait for Liu Ling and the others to come back and help him look after the cat. It would take about twenty minutes for Xia to run by himself, and at least half an hour if he carried the cat.

But as soon as the sun was setting, the shadow of the three people was still there. The cat had to eat the evening meal at seven o'clock, and it was time to go to bed after eating again at almost nine o'clock. The time between the two meals should not be too short.

Liu Xia hugged the cat, led Liu Wei and Liu Rui to the yard, and showed the cat to Sun Chang'e.

Mao'er looked at Liu Xia eagerly, not wanting to be hugged by grandma, but he didn't cry.

Liu Xia squeezed his cheeks: "Wait for my uncle, my uncle is a scud of the Divine Walking Taibao, and it will be a round trip from Shuibo Liangshan to Yan'an Mansion in a while."

When Liu Changqing has nothing to do, he will tell the children some allusions and legends. The stories of Journey to the West and Liangshan heroes are the children's favorite.

Besides Sun Houzi and Wu Song, Liu Xia's favorite character is Dai Zong, the Supreme Protector of Shenxing. Instead, he practiced the "spiritual movement" of traveling [-] miles a day, and once reached the level of obsession, but he really couldn't get Dai Zong's armored horse.

There are no horses in Liujialing, only two mules, so Liu Xia has to succumb to the reality, but he has not given up his dream of becoming a scud, but the way he realizes his dream can only be to enjoy his mouth.

Liu Wei and Liu Xia went to milk a few days ago, and when they went, Liu's fourth grandson happened to be there, the two had a great time playing, and today they want to go with Liu Xia, shaking Liu Xia's arm.

Sun Chang'e thinks it's too hot, there are no trees on both sides of several slopes, and it's terrible to be in the sun, and Liu Wei may have been bathing in the Fengxi River too much in the past few days. He took the medicine prescribed by the brigade's health office for three days, and drank persimmon cream every day, but he didn't feel relieved, so he didn't want him to go.

Liu Wei pouted and looked at Liu Xia.

Liu Xia looked at Liu Wei's pitiful appearance, and said in a big way: "My child can go if he wants to. If it's an old and hot place, I will carry him on my back."

Sun Chang'e said: "Then you can watch the baby on the road, don't run crazy, don't jump into the ditch when you see a tree, if you dare to bump and drop the baby, just wait for the soles of your shoes when you come back!"

Liu Xia picked up the bottle and pulled Xiao Wei's hand, and left: "The road is so hot, I'm afraid that the milk will spoil due to the heat, besides, the cat is waiting for me to come back and hug him quickly, so he won't play on the road. "

Arriving at the breeding room, Liu Xia had just squeezed a few times when he heard the sound of "cracking" outside. Liu Fulai and Liu Laosi brought two cows in: "It's hail, it's hail, why is this hail so big?" , almost catching up with Mai Huangxing."

Ten minutes after the hailstorm fell, it turned into a torrential rain. Liu Xia was afraid that the milk would go bad if it rained for a long time, so he drank the milk he had just squeezed out, and then sat and waited.

Liu Wei is not in a hurry either, Liu Lao Si's grandson is one year older than him, and he is here today, and the two of them happened to be playing together.

The heavy rain didn't last long, and the rain subsided in about half an hour, and it seemed to get dark all of a sudden. Liu Xia was worried that the cat would not let others hold her when it was dark, and she would start milking as soon as it rained.

The two bottles of milk were quickly filled up. Liu Xia wrapped his cloth shirt on Liu Wei's head, fearing that he would cough worse when he got wet in the rain. Liu Fulai found him a fertilizer bag as a raincoat for him. Liu Xia Holding two bottles of milk, she dragged Liu Wei home.

From the breeding room in Xitou to his house, you have to cross five small hills and go uphill and downhill several times. Liu Xia is very careful. Although the slope in the village is not as steep as the slope of the kiln, the ditch next to it is not as steep. It's not that deep, but it's enough to drop it.

The loess road became muddy after being soaked in rain. Liu Wei slipped and fell shortly after walking out of the breeding room. Liu Xia pulled him, but the fall didn't hurt too much, but his buttocks and legs were turned into mud.

Liu Wei hadn't worn shoes since summer, and walking on dirt roads with bare feet was particularly slippery. He was too scared to walk, so Liu Xia simply carried him on his back.

Liu Xia is only less than six years older than Liu Wei, and it's okay to carry Liu Wei for a short time, but after a long time, he holds two bottles of milk in his left arm, so he can only use his right arm, which is a bit difficult. Arms strangled his neck, and it was difficult for him to breathe.

The uncle and nephew walked in the dark on the slippery mountain road, and when they reached the big slope of the crooked old pear tree, they faintly heard someone shouting 'Yaoer, Liu Wei', it was Liu Kui's voice.

Liu Wei became excited all of a sudden, and grabbed Liu Xia's back: "Uncle, let's put... ah... ah..."

Liu Xia felt Liu Wei flipped out of his body, stretched out his already very sore right hand and desperately pulled Liu Wei's arm, and the two slid down together.

A tangled tree caught Liu Wei, but Liu Xia was still sliding down. He let go of his hand and shouted to Liu Wei: "Hold tight, don't let go."

There was a heartache in his stomach, and Liu Xia finally stopped. His stomach hit a rock, and his feet were caught by a pile of thorns. Liu Xia, who was still in shock, rushed to the top and shouted: "Xiaowei, are you holding tight? ?”

Liu Wei cried out, "Hurry up, uncle, are you?"

Liu Xia shouted: "I'm fine, your uncle will be here soon, don't cry, baby, it's fine."

His voice faded, and Liu Kui's shout came again: "Yao'er, Xiaowei, did you hear me?"

Liu Wei cried, "Uncle, I put it here, and we slipped down."

The sound of Liu Kui's pattering footsteps came quickly. He threw away the fertilizer bag he was wearing and dragged the trees and shrubs on the slope to move down.

Liu Wei slid down seven or eight meters and was tripped, Liu Kui soon came to him, grabbed a tree with one hand, held his son in his arms with the other, and shouted down: "Yaoer, how are you doing? "

Liu Xia yelled: "I'm fine, I asked the tree to keep it, brother, you can get the baby up first, I can go up by myself by grabbing something."

Liu Kui climbed up with Liu Wei in his arms and shouted, "Don't move, wait for me to go down."

In the end, it was Liu Kui who dragged Liu Xia up. Liu Xia was still holding a bottle of milk, and the other bottle hit a rock and broke.

Liu Kui carried his son on his back and helped his younger brother walk home slowly

When they got home, the rain had completely stopped, and all three of them were covered in mud.

Looking under the kerosene lamp, Xiaowei has a big blood spot on her right arm, and there are many scratches elsewhere. There is a thin and long gash on the left cheek, and the seeping blood and mud are mixed together. looking scary.

But what made Liu Wei cry in pain was the few acupuncture needles on his right hand.

What blocked Liu Wei from sliding down was a wild sour jujube tree. The needles of the sour jujube tree were the most powerful, long and hard, and it was excruciatingly painful to pierce. Liu Wei was only six years old, and four of his palms were pierced, one almost piercing through his. With such a small palm, he was able to endure crying until he got home, which made Liu Xia very distressed.

Xiumei shed tears while picking on Liu Wei with the oil lamp.

With red eyes, Sun Chang'e picked up the small broom for sweeping the kang and slammed it on Liu Xia's back: "Why are you looking at the boy? Ah, why did I tell you when I went out? You told the boy to fall like this!"

Liu Xia didn't dare to be stubborn or speak, and lay down on the edge of the kang to be beaten obediently, with one hand covering his stomach, and the other around Mao'er who was sitting on the kang crying with snot and tears all over his face.

Liu Xia knew that if something happened to Liu Wei today, the family would be in trouble.

However, besides Liu Wei, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Liu Xia felt the most guilty, and Mao Er, he did not take Liu Wei well, causing Liu Wei to fall downhill and get injured, and others would think that this was a catastrophe caused by Mao Er It's because the cat's life is too hard to hinder the family.

As soon as Liu Xia came back, he ran back to the cave where he lived to change into his black cloth shirt with the most patches, and then came to the main room. His head and legs were still covered with mud, and his face was also covered with bushes and grass. Barley's injuries are not serious, and he looks much better than Liu Wei.

The cat stopped crying when Liu Xia came in and stood on the edge of the kang and hugged him. Now, sobbing, he poked the mud on Liu Xia's head with his little finger, and looked at Liu Xia Yiyi curiously, as if he was Ask my uncle what is that on his head.

Xiumei hugged Liu Wei and called to Sun Chang'e: "Mom, it's not Yao'er's intention to be slippery on the slope, so stop beating him."

Sun Chang'e felt even more distressed and angrier when she heard Liu Wei's forced cry when she was picking on the thorn. She threw Liu Xia's butt a few more times.

Liu Kui just changed out of his mud clothes and came in with a wooden basin, and hugged Sun Chang'e: "Mom, you can't beat Yao'er, don't blame him, didn't we adults slip down the slope last time?" It's dark and the road is slippery, and Yao'er is skinny and has to carry Xiaowei on his back, he must be unable to walk steadily, if you want to hit me, hit me, if I go to pick up Yao'er and the others earlier, it will be fine." He took the broom in Sun Chang'e's hand and helped Liu Xia to sit on the edge of the kang.

Mao'er saw Liu Xia sitting on the kang, and immediately crawled into Liu Xia's arms, but Liu Xia didn't let him sit in his arms this time, and let him lie on his side and hug him.

Liu Changqing sat on the kang with a sullen face.

Liu Ling, Liu Yu, and Liu Hai came back not long after Liu Xia went out, and now they huddled together in the corner without uttering a word: This is always the case at home, the older one takes the younger ones, and the younger ones leave. The big thing is that if you don't worry about it, you have to be beaten.

Liu Kui went to see Liu Wei's injury, and Sun Chang'e went to boil milk for the cat.

Liu Changqing sat on the edge of the kang without saying a word, he knew that he could not blame his youngest son for this incident, but his grandson slipped downhill, with so many bloody wounds on his body, can his daughter-in-law not feel bad?Mao'er has been criticized by everyone he knows since he was born. Although his daughter-in-law feels uncomfortable, she still treats Mao'er very well. He can see all this.

Ever since his sister-in-law disappeared, Changchun's whole body has collapsed. Liu Mao believed that it was Maoerke who killed his wife and mother. With such a big pimple, it is impossible to treat the cat well, and the cat cannot be handed over to him.

But the cat is still too young to be raised by an old man in Changchun. If it is raised here, it will be fine when the family is safe and sound, but if something happens, especially when it happens to Liu Wei and Liu Rui , the daughter-in-law must have a pimple in her heart. To reassure the daughter-in-law and make her feel that the family is not partial to the cat and does not cherish Xiaowei and Xiaorui, someone must come out to take the punishment for the injured Xiaowei. This person can only It was Liu Xia who was involved.

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Changqing relies most on his eldest son, Liu Kui, who is stable, kind, tolerant, benevolent and filial, and the youngest Liu Xia. He can see that although the younger son has a wild temper and can be tossed about, this child has a sense of responsibility at a young age. , like Liu Kui, is very reliable when something happens, but now...

It's past the time for the cat to drink milk, the cat is a little hungry, and Liu Xia didn't hold him to play with him as usual, he looked up at Liu Xia's face with aggrieved lips, and said "ah "Ah", I wanted Liu Xia to hug me.

Liu Ling went over to get a face towel and wanted to pass it to Liu Xia to wipe his face. Seeing that he was covering his stomach with his left hand, it probably hurt from knocking when he slipped down, so he wiped the pimple on his face with his own hands. Ni: "My generals also want to pick you up and Xiaowei. The eldest brother said that adults dare not leave the old crooked pear tree when it rains. If you don't tell me to go, the cat will cry hard. Just leave the house to coax him, hurry up and hug the baby, and see how wronged he is."

As long as the cat doesn't come out of Liu Xia's arms, and Xiaowei cries in pain again, his mother won't come and beat Yao'er again, and the matter is over.

However, Liu Ling and the others are not very at ease. According to past experience, the injuries Liu Xia suffered last night are obviously too light compared to the injuries caused by Xiaowei's fall. They are afraid of Sun Chang'e He and Liu Changqing saw Xiaowei panicked in distress, and made up for the part that Liu Xia had spared.
