all the way

When Liu Xia returned home, after eating a large bowl of pure white noodles, he fell on the kang and slept for a day and a night. Sun Chang'e was so distressed that she burst into tears.

Mao'er stayed by Liu Xia's side all the time, refusing to leave even a single step.

Liu Changqing told him that Liu Xia was just too tired, not sick, and told him not to be afraid, but he still insisted: "I'll just sit here and watch my uncle sleep, and when he wakes up, I'll call grandma to cook."

Liu Xia, who had had enough sleep, woke up and began his happiest, but also tormenting, summer vacation.

He seems to have returned to his childhood, picking wild fruits from trees, sticking wheat and accumulating birds, stripping off with cats, Liuwei, and Liurui, jumping into the Fengxi River to make a fuss.

Until one day the cat pinched a hair on his dick with his little finger and asked, "Uncle, why does your hair grow on your dick?"

He just put on his trousers in resentment, and very unwillingly led the cat to play the dog in a puddle formed at the bend of the river, laughing at Liu Hai who was hugging Liu Xin and teasing him.

In fact, not only Liu Xia was about to take off his clothes and go into the river, but all the boys and girls in the village were like this. Many of them didn't have trousers at all, so they couldn't wear their only trousers to bathe in the river;

And those with trousers are also made of coarse cotton cloth, which is inelastic, wide and loose, and will automatically fade down in the water, and it will not be worthwhile if it is washed away by the river.

Liu Kui set up two large stone tables for them by the Fengxi River. Liu Hai, Liu Xia, Liu Wei, and Liu Rui usually do their homework, practice calligraphy, and read on the stone tables by the river, and go down to the river when they are hot. bath.

Mao'er and Liu Xia are very similar. When they play, they go to heaven and earth, but when they write, they can quickly take their hearts back, and they have a good appearance.

Sun Chang'e and Xiumei often took Liu Xin down to cool off.

Liu Xin is already half a year old, and Xiumei has good milk, which makes him fat and fat. The little guy laughs whenever he is teased, and he is the joy of the whole family.

Mao'er is very fond of Liu Xin and always wants to hug him.

Liu Xia knew the pain in sister-in-law's heart, but it was impossible to tell Mao'er, so he just went to hug Liu Xin to tease him.

The cat immediately quit, jumped into Liu Xia's arms, jumped and screamed to let Liu Xia return Liu Xin to Xiumei, and then dragged Liu Xia to run as far away from Liu Xin as he could.

The cat likes it the most when Liu Xia takes his little hand three times a day to go to Niujiazhai to milk the cows. The two of them walk on the mountain road, surrounded by birdsong, flowers and cicadas.

The cat will count to Liu Xia, and he can already count to a thousand.

The cat will also recite "Thousand Characters" to Liu Xia, and the clear child's voice shouts loudly: "The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full and flat, the days and nights are listed, the cold comes and the summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides..."

Liu Xia picked up the cat and turned it around to show encouragement: "A smart child is a little cat, and a cat is my uncle's good baby; a smart child is Liu An, and Liu An is my uncle's precious egg..."

The cat yelled happily: "I will do it, I will do it, I will do it again" The orchid leaves are verdant in spring, the osmanthus and flowers are bright and clean in autumn, I am happy with this business, and it is a festival for myself. Yue, the grass and trees have their own heart, why would you ask a beauty to break it, 'you still have to turn around, uncle, you still have to turn...'"

When Liu Changqing was an apprentice, he didn't read books systematically. Except for the articles he learned by copying the inscriptions, what he knew was the enlightenment knowledge of that era such as the "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names" and Three Hundred Tang Poems.

No one has dared to mention the 'Three Character Classic' these years. In his spare time, he taught the children to recite [-] Tang poems like a jingle, from Liu Kui to Mao Er.

Liu Kui has been in the army for five years and can speak Mandarin, but it is definitely impossible to speak it in his own home, but when he teaches children to read poems and texts, he can use Mandarin.

In fact, not only Liu Kui, but also Liu Xia, they all use Mandarin in their texts at school, but apart from the texts, no one speaks a word.

Mao'er's immature childlike voice recited those beautiful poems that have been handed down through the ages, echoing in the mountains, and Liu Xia was delighted to hear them.

He led the cat on the mountain road, looked at the distant mountains and near waters under the setting sun, and truly felt that the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is wild... This vast and lonely world sometimes makes him open-minded and dispels the fear in his heart , Sometimes this fear will expand infinitely.

He often thinks of Shao Yan, and now that he calms down and thinks about it, he always feels that it is illogical for Shao Yan to leave in such a hurry. Shao Yan can go to him to say goodbye when he has time to write a letter. What happened to Shao Yan? Rock chose to leave in that way?

Almost every day, he would lead the cat to the direction of Guanjiayao, hoping that when he looked up, he would suddenly see Shao Yan appearing on the mountain road with his schoolbag on his back.

But a month passed, and Shao Yan didn't come.

It was already the time for colleges and universities to issue notices in previous years. When Liu Xia looked in the direction of Guan Jiayao, he was both afraid and looking forward to Liu Chuan's figure.

August No. 13, Liu Xia didn't see Shao Yan and Liu Chuan, but saw Liu Yu who hadn't been home for a month because of rushing a batch of work.

Liu Yu didn't see Chang'e Sun and Xiumei winking at him non-stop. After anxiously asking about Liu Xia's exam situation, she began to angrily complain that the woman named Liu Dongju was insatiable: three turns and one beep to buy it. Now he actually said that the money that was turned over on the day of the wedding had to be paid at least five times to her.

"Everyone doubles the amount. She thinks she is a golden branch and jade leaf, isn't she just a private teacher? She has spent all the money sent back by Xiao Ling and the third brother in the past two years, and she is still not satisfied. If her family gives her 60 The yuan money is at the bottom of the box, so we have to give her three hundred, and then our family has to go out and borrow the debt?" Liu Yu was so angry that she slammed the branch in her hand.

Only then did Liu Xia know that Liu Mao was getting married on National Day, and it seemed that he was the only one who didn't know about it.

Liu Xia's mood was extremely bad.

After dinner in the evening, Liu Xia took the cat back to his cave early.

Liu Yu knew that she had said something wrong, so she quietly followed Liu Xia along with Liu Hai.

Mao'er was next to him, Liu Hai didn't dare to comfort Liu Xia about Liu Mao's marriage, Liu Xia would immediately explode when he heard about the topic of his stepmother.

Liu Yu murmured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Yao'er, that, don't be angry, I have agreed with my third brother and my family, if you go to repeat your studies or go to college, I will treat cats at home, but we won’t ask cats to go to his second elder brother’s house when he gets married, and I don’t want cats to stay with my stepmother just like you.”

Before Liu Xia had an attack, the cat spoke first, and he asked Liu Xia in a little confusion: "Uncle, I don't know, what is restraining? Who am I conquering? Liu Mudan said that if I beat our family again, Grandpa would send me to the stepmother's house, and let the stepmother beat me and screw me every day.

Uncle, I don’t want to go to my stepmother’s house, I’m obedient, I can’t handle anyone, don’t ask grandpa to send me to my stepmother’s house, I want to follow you..."

Liu Xia's expression became ferocious in an instant, he turned over and jumped off the kang, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Niu Sannier, that stinky bitch is looking for death, Brother Six, help me take care of the cat, or I will treat Niu San Ni'er was crying for her father and mother, and I'm not a human anymore."

Liu Hai jumped off the kang and grabbed Liu Xia: "We all know what Niu Sannier's stinky mouth looks like, Yao'er, look at how frightened the cat is, you can coax her first."

Liu Xia turned his head and saw Mao'er looking at him in fear, wanting to cry, but dared not cry out.

He regained consciousness immediately, sat back on the kang, hugged Mao'er and patted gently: "Mao'er, Liu Mudan and her mother are shrews, talking is worse than farting, don't listen to her nonsense, grandpa already I told my uncle that I will never ask you to follow my stepmother, you are my uncle's precious cat, as long as my uncle stays at our house for a day, no one will let you go!"

The cat sobbed and cried: "I went to the breeding room with my grandma to milk, but they didn't play with me... Woooo... Liu Mudan said I was a mourner..."

Liu Xia wiped his tears for him: "You are my uncle, baby, that ugly monster Liu Mudan is the star of the funeral, don't cry baby, uncle will go to find Liu Mudan and her mother tomorrow, what do you think of my uncle?" Get them both."

Liu Hai and Liu Yu were also very angry, they swallowed back the words they wanted to persuade Liu Xia, and thought in their minds that if Liu Xia went to Niu Sannier to settle accounts tomorrow, how would they be sidelined.

The next morning everything was as usual. After breakfast, Liu Xia stood on the west edge of the courtyard and stared at the slope in front of Liu Fulai's house.

Liu Fulai is a good person, especially in the past few years, he has helped the cat's milk a lot, but this can't offset the vicious rumors spread by his wife Niu Sannier against the cat. Niu Sannier must learn a lesson. Otherwise, she might make up more vicious rumors in the future.

The cat has no playmates now, and it can no longer be scared so that it doesn't even feel safe.

They talk nonsense behind their backs, as long as the cat doesn't know, Liu Xia doesn't have to worry about it;

But now that Liu Mudan dared to say those words in front of Mao'er, Liu Xia wanted to kill her.

Liu Fulai came out, wearing a pair of ragged trousers, with a bare back, and walked westward down the slope, probably to the breeding room.

Liu Xia said to Mao'er: "Uncle has something to do with Liu Sen, you stay at home and wait for Uncle obediently, as soon as I come back we will go to stick wheat chicken."

Everyone in the family told Mao'er not to let him go to Liu Mudan's house. Although he wanted to follow Liu Xia, he still nodded obediently: "I'll wait for you in the shade of a tree in our courtyard, come back quickly."

Liu Xia went straight to Liu Fulai's house.

The flat distance between Liu Fulai’s house and Liu Xia’s house is about 60 meters. One family yelled loudly, but the other family could hear them clearly, but they couldn’t see each other.

When Liu Xia went up the slope, Liu Miao and Liu Sen were sitting in the shade of a tree talking in the courtyard, with two large empty bowls placed on the ground in front of their faces.

Liu Sen saw Liu Xia first, and as soon as he stood up to say hello, Liu Miao, whose back was turned to Liu Xia, also stood up: "Liu Xia, why did you come to my house?"

Liu Xia gritted his teeth and said, "Come to find your mother and Liu Mudan."

Both Liu Miao and Liu Sen were taken aback for a moment, they could already see that Liu Xia's complexion was unkind, and his voice was full of provocation.

Liu Miao was the boss, and he asked, "What are you doing with them?"

Liu Xia said: "Come and ask your mother if her stinky shit mouth is itchy and not twitching, and then ask her if she plans to make Liu Mudan's mouth into a shitty place as well."

Halfway through Liu Xia's words, Liu Miao and Liu Sen's expressions changed.

The three brothers in his family feel ashamed when they mention his mother, but they don't want to see Niu Sannier, who is also their own mother, and the three of them will never tolerate someone coming to the door and scolding his mother and sister like this.

Liu Miao was a bit older than Liu Yu, in her early twenties, although not as tall as Liu Kui and Liu Chuan, but still a lot taller than Liu Xia.

He kicked the bowl in front of him away, and asked harshly, "Liu Xia, are you being too bully? What's wrong with my mother and Mudan, you came to my house early in the morning to yell and curse, you should My brothers are so useless, just stand like this and let people bully you casually?"

Liu Sen used to be the best with Liu Hai, and this time Liu Hai came back to play tricks on him, and directly cursed at Liu Xia, but he didn't react at first.

He knew Liu Xia was struggling a long time ago, but the children of Liu Changqing's family are disciplined strictly, unlike the children of other families in the village who drink swearing words as cold water, if they are not anxious, Liu Hai and Liu Xia rarely curse.

So Liu Sen was a little stunned at first, but when he heard his brother's words, he immediately became angry, that's right, his family is not as good as Liu Xia's family, and no matter how useless his brothers are, he can't let a child like Liu Xia come to bully him.

The yard of Liu Fulai's house was a mess, shovels, hoes, and firewood were all thrown away casually. Liu Sen bent down and picked up a thick stick: "Liu Xia, try to scold my mother and my sister again!"

Liu Xia walked a few steps, bent down, picked up a hoe, and yelled at his cave: "Niu Sannier, big shrew, crotch mouth, I'm your mother."

Liu Sen couldn't believe that Liu Xia was actually scolding, he was stunned for three seconds, then he swung his stick and threw it at Liu Xia: "Spicy, Liu Xia, you are too bullying."

Liu Xia picked up his hoe and walked over to meet the stick.

The stick was picked up as firewood, it was not strong, and it broke in two at once, Liu Sen froze for a moment, and hit Liu Xia again with the remaining half in his hand.

Liu Miao was getting old, and she managed to maintain her rationality despite the extreme anger. They beat Liu Xia, but he didn't dare to pick up a shovel, so he grabbed a broken shovel handle next to him to hit Liu Xia.

The hoe in Liu Xia's hand was relatively long. He stepped back a few steps and waved the hoe, and Liu Miao hurried to hide aside.

Niu Sannier in the cave had already limped out when she heard the sound. Seeing the situation in the yard, she opened her mouth wide, and then burst into tears:

"Ah, let's all come and see, bullying, the brigade secretary's boy is bullying, beat my boy with a hoe... Liu Zhaoyao, Liu Zhaoyao, where did you die, go call your uncle, and say Your brother was beaten to death by someone from Liu Changqing's family... oh, I can't live anymore, you bullied me to death..."

When Liu Xia saw Niu Sannier coming out, he wished he could beat her to death with a hoe.

He waved the hoe a few more times to keep Liu Miao and Liu Sen from approaching, then ran up to Niu Sannier, and hit a basin half full of muddy wash water in front of her in front of Niu Sannier's face .

The earthen basin was broken into several pieces, and Niu Sannier was splashed wet, she was stunned, then sat down on the ground and cried louder.

Liu Miao couldn't care less, picked up the shovel and wanted to fight Liu Xia desperately, but just two steps away, he was grabbed from behind: "Liu Miao, Liu Sen, I'll go and pull Yao'er back, he dares to come out and cause trouble, See if my uncle doesn't kill him."

As Liu Hai said, he went to snatch the shovel from Liu Miao's hand, and pushed Liu Miao back along the way.

He is about the same height as Liu Chuan and taller than Liu Miao. Liu Miao struggled but was pushed back a few steps by him.

Although Liu Xia was young, fighting Liu Sen alone would definitely not hurt him.

The time Liu Hai pulled Liu Miao, Liu Xia had already overturned a stone table in the yard, and the tree bumps and stone stools next to him were thrown into a mess by Liu Xia.

Liu Xia slammed and scolded: "Niu Sannier, your mother is a bitch, you stinky bitch with a rotten crotch mouth, if you dare to go out and make rumors about my cat, try again, and tell your Nier to go out again!" Say I am a cat, try it, and see if I don't cover your mouths with shit..."

Niu Sannier was frightened for a while by the stone stool and tree bumps rolling towards her, but when he saw that Liu Xia didn't dare to throw those things directly at her, he immediately beat his hands on the ground and cried: " Let's all come and see...you beat someone to death...mother, I can't live anymore, I'm bullied to death..."

Liu Mudan wore a patched cloth shirt with nothing underneath, and stood at the entrance of the cave like a chicken coop with disheveled hair, so scared that she grabbed the edge of the door and dared not move.

Liu Xia pointed at her with a hoe: "Liu Mudan, you belong to Xiaonier's family. I won't beat you today, but let me tell you, if you dare to bully my cat again, you will learn from your mother's crotch mouth." Nonsense, I don't care who you are, you've got your mouth sucked, um... your mother Liu Sen..." Liu Xia suddenly turned around, and he was hit by Liu Sen on the back.

Liu Xia picked up his hoe and pointed at Liu Sen and came over. Liu Sen hugged his head, and his left shoulder was hit hard by Liu Xia's hoe. .

Liu Xia greeted him with a hoe.

"Yaoer, stop it!"

Liu Kui shouted loudly, Liu Xia, Liu Sen, and Liu Miao who was about to be pushed to the edge of the slope by Liu Hai all stood in place.

Liu Yu ran over to block between Liu Xia and Liu Sen.

Liu Hai threw the shovel in his hand far away, ran over and pulled Liu Kui to complain:

"Brother, Mrs. Fu Lai talked about our cat everywhere, and taught Peony that the cat is a dead star, and people are not allowed to play with the cat. She also told the cat that his life is not good, that the light can kill people, and our uncle will kill him." Give it to the stepmother, let the stepmother beat him and pinch him, the cat is so frightened that he dare not sleep, he is always afraid that if he falls asleep, he will ask Xun to go out and miss Yaoer..."

Liu Xia's anger that had just been yelled down by Liu Kui rose again after hearing Liu Hai's words, and picked up a broom on the millstone beside him and threw it on Niu Sannier.

Liu Kui walked over in two steps, grabbed the hoe in Liu Xia's hand and threw it away, raised his foot and stomped on Liu Xia's ass: "You bastard, hit me again."

Liu Xia was not afraid of Liu Kui, but he never dared to argue with his elder brother. He hardly remembered that Liu Kui lost his temper with him, but his elder brother's majesty was always in his heart.

Liu Xia stood still and let Liu Kui kick him, but he still glared at Niu Sannier angrily: "Smelly shrew, rotten crotch mouth, Niu Laomo's stinky crotch is not as pickled as your mouth..."

Niu Laomo is an old bachelor in Niujialing. He went up the mountain in his forties and broke his waist. Since then, he can't control his urine. A pair of patched trousers has been soaked in feces and urine for more than ten years, all year round. Sitting on two futons made of corncloth and moving them on the ground with both hands, the stinky wind fainted the cow. Whoever is good at gossiping, making rumors, and sowing discord in this area is said to be the old man of the cow. crotch.

"You are still stubborn with me, you still dare to scold sister-in-law..." Liu Kui clamped Liu Xia under his armpit with one arm, and slapped him on the buttocks, reprimanded him and carried him outside.

Liu Xia kicked desperately and wanted to go down to beat him, and his mouth was not idle: "Liu Mudan, just follow your mother's crotch mouth, and you won't be able to marry when you grow up..."

Liu Hai and Liu Yu tugged at Liu Kui's side: "Brother, don't dare to hit me anymore, Yao'er is thin and has no meat on his butt, it hurts to hit your hand!"
