all the way

It's winter vacation, and the half-children are like monkeys in the sky. There is no quiet time at home all day long, and the wild jujubes on the nearby slopes are also touched by them.

Liu Xia finished all the homework for the winter vacation in three days. From then on, he only needs to write five newspaper-quality calligraphy brushes every day, and he can take the cat to play casually every day. He has a special feeling for writing recently, so he can write every time. He passed Liu Changqing's exam very smoothly, without any pressure at all. However, he was so obedient and took the initiative to finish his homework first. In addition to the fact that he was backward by a dozen in the final exam age, he wanted to make up for his mistakes. The most important thing was that Sun Chang'e would give him Set up a rule, do not write five pieces of homework a day, and are not allowed to play with cats.

Sun Chang'e has a particularly vicious eye, and can accurately and quickly catch every child's weakness. Liu Yu can't sit still, and is most afraid of reading, so she stipulates that she does not have enough homework every day. Three hundred Tang Poems are recited in this old and yellowed book. Chang'e Sun has the right to decide which three. Liu Hai dislikes housework the most. Cleaning the pot and washing the cat's diapers; Liu Ling is the most worry-free, the books at home are not enough for him to read, and the homework is written like a copybook. Sun Chang'e just wants him to eat half an extra bun for every meal Enough.

Liu Yu was very depressed. He copied "Ping An Tie" in the last month, but he couldn't pass the test. He had to write seven newspapers every day. Seeing him pitiful, Liu Ling secretly wrote it for him once. Together they were fined to write twenty "Thousand Character Essays".

The cat looks thin, but has never been ill. Chang'e Sun said that the more children are covered, the more likely they are to get sick. Liu Xia wrapped the cat in a padded jacket every day and went out to play wildly on the hillside, picking jujubes, touching persimmons, After smashing ice in the Fengxi River, the cat's nose would flow a little bit at most when he came back, and everything would be fine after warming up and sleeping all night.

Generally speaking, Liu Xia feels that life is very good, but besides this feeling of happiness, he always feels that there is something inexplicable that makes him uncomfortable, and he can't say what it is specifically.

It wasn't until the morning of the first day of the new year that he understood what that feeling was.

Although the valley is poor, there are a lot of etiquette and rules during the New Year. The younger generation should kowtow to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, and the elders should give the younger generation lucky money.

Liu Xia woke up early, the sky was still gray and not bright, he wanted to get up, but the cat under his armpit was still sleeping soundly, and the cat was very awake, if he was by his side, the cat could sleep well. Sleeping for several hours without moving the nest, if he gets up, the cat will wake up in a while, wet the bed when he wakes up, and start crying after peeing.

Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e got up early, and I'm afraid they made a lot of dumplings by now. Thinking of meat dumplings, Liu Xia really salivated, but he persisted for another hour before slowly sitting up and getting dressed. Before putting on the cotton trousers, Mao'er's dark eyes opened.

Liu Xia threw his cotton trousers aside, quickly pulled the cat out to pee, his whistle rang, and the cat's urine fell far away on Liu Changqing's pair of old shoes, Liu Xia stuck out his tongue, Mao'er's penis changed direction, Mao'er urinated a lot, stretched comfortably, and nestled in Liu Xia's arms, ready to continue sleeping.

Liu Xia pinched his little nose: "It's the end of the new year, and it's the holidays. We have to get up to earn lucky money. We can't sleep anymore. At noon, uncle will hold you in his arms and sleep for a long time." Liu Xia always thought that he should be Liu Xia. Wei, Liu Rui and their elder brothers, he thinks that uncle should be a proper name for a middle-aged wimpy man like Liu Fulai. He is only five years older than Liu Rui, and he has never been used to the title and identity of uncle, so the cat was just born. At that time, Liu Xia instinctively thought that he was his brother, but after being made fun of by Liu Hai a few times and hit on the back of the head by Sun Chang'e, he honestly became Mao'er's uncle.

Liu Xia carried the cat into the main room, the cave was still very dark at this time, his mother and sister-in-law were making dumplings by the light of the kerosene lamp, Liu Changchun was rolling the dough, Liu Changqing and Liu Ling were sitting on the kang with their own little dumplings. For the chess made of tree branches, Liu Xia handed the cat to Liu Ling, then knelt down, first kowtowed three times to Liu Changqing, Liu Changqing gave him a brand new [-] cents, and Liu Xia put it in his pocket with a smile, But the man didn't stand up, three more dong dong dong stretched out his hand: "This is for the cat."

Liu Changqing scolded "You son of a bitch", and took out another two cents, Liu Xia stood up happily, then walked in front of Liu Changchun again like this, and got another forty cents.

Liu Xia hugged the cat and pushed open the door: "Go, go and kowtow to uncle." Liu Rui also needs someone to sleep soundly by her side. Today, Xiumei has to get up to make dumplings before dawn, and she is always the first in the family. Liu Kui, who got up first, set off the firecrackers and then came back to lie down again.

Just as Liu Xia walked to the entrance of the cave dwelling where Liu Kui's family of four lived and was about to open the door, Xiumei ran over from behind and held him back, and said softly, "Yaoer, my room smells very bad, Xiaowei and Xiaorui are smelling it every day. Diapers and bedwetting, the room is full of choking, don’t spoil the cat, wait for your elder brother to come over later, and then kowtow for the cat.”

"It's okay, our room is even worse. The cat not only wets the bed and trousers, but also wets the bed." Liu Xia said and reached out to push the door.

Xiumei was still smiling, but she held Liu Xia's arm tightly: "No, Yao'er, I actually want Xiao Rui to sleep a little longer. They were overjoyed last night on New Year's Eve. I fell asleep in the middle of the night, oh look at me, I have money in my pocket, Yaoer, you and your elder brother are of the same generation, kowtowing is inappropriate, even for the cat, so sister-in-law just give the money to the cat Let's go!"

Liu Xia's mind instantly seemed to be opened by a spring, and a thought became clear: sister-in-law didn't want him and the cat to enter their house.

As soon as this idea came out, the things that had made him vaguely uncomfortable in the past two months were clearly revealed: the sister-in-law was very close to the cat, but almost never took the initiative to hug the cat; Curious, I always want to run to the cat to have a look and touch it. My sister-in-law always keeps them away from the cat for fear of being scratched or other reasons; Then he will soon find a reason to give the cat to someone else; the army green padded jacket of the eldest brother is one of his favorite things, Liu Xia wore it once and wrapped the cat in it, and Liu Xia's own padded jacket is dry. After I bought it, I went to return it to my elder brother. My sister-in-law said that since Liu Xia likes it, I can keep it for myself. Liu Xia repeatedly said no, so my sister-in-law gave Sun Chang'e the padded jacket...

Liu Xia took a deep breath, the stone-like thing in his heart made him uncomfortable, he lowered his eyes and looked at the cat wearing a tiger hat in his arms, the cat's black eyes were pure and clear, and he was also looking at the cat. He, Liu Xia sniffed, and said to Xiumei: "Sister-in-law, Liu Mao and elder brother are of the same generation. He never gave Xiaowei and Xiao Rui lucky money. That cat shouldn't want you either. You can't let Liu Mao Take advantage." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiumei to speak, he turned around and walked downhill in the courtyard with the cat in his arms.

Xiumei wiped her hands on the apron uncomfortably, looking at Liu Xia's back with complicated eyes.

Today is a sunny day, and the sun has not fully come out. Walking on the hillside, you can see the yellow-orange sun constantly appearing and disappearing among the mountains in the east. The illuminated top of the mountain is bright and dazzling. The place with the back of the sun is dark and unclear, the world is divided into countless small worlds with different colors, the same mountain and the same ridge, but they are in different positions, and in some places, the sun will never be seen.

Liu Xia felt panicked in his heart, he didn't want to go home, he didn't even realize that at the moment just passed, a piece of his carefree and always happy heart for ten years was forced to mature painfully At this time, Liu Xia was only afraid of seeing the dislike of cats in the eyes of others. He had always consciously believed that the whole family was like him except for the second brother, the bastard who didn't want children for his wife. I like cats, and I take my second brother's words that cats are mourners as crazy, and everyone will love cats even more because of this, but now, it doesn't seem to be the case. overwhelmed him.

He has no place to go other than his own home. He originally wanted to take the cat and a few older brothers to find Liu Sen and Liu Miao and the others after eating the dumplings, and then we all went to the third grandpa's house. Two huge logs were used to make a swing, and they were not removed until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. However, now he is not sure whether Liu Miao's family and other families in the village, like his sister-in-law, do not want cats to approach.

There was a mountain breeze at the slope, and the cat had a runny nose. Liu Xia wiped him clean with his jacket sleeve, carried him back, and found a place with thick fallen leaves to sit on the sunny slope under his yard. Next, he put the cat on his lap and hugged it, gently rubbing the cat's face with one hand: "Cat, you have to grow up quickly, when you grow up, remember things, you won't I have been searched out, and no one wants to take the child who remembers things, you know?"

Mao'er smacked his little mouth and blinked twice.

"You have to grow up to be a fat kid. Fat kids are in good health and don't get sick. If you get sick, they will all hate you."

"Oh—" the cat yawned.

"As soon as school starts, my uncle starts to pick up writing paper, pick up more, and buy more milk powder for you, and you will get fat."

The cat blinked twice, and its small mouth suddenly opened: "Yeah——"

Liu Xia was so excited: "Ah, cat, you can laugh, cat, hehe, cat will smile again, uncle will buy you a lot of milk powder, hehehe, cat can laugh..."

"It's so cold in the morning, you ran here with the cat in your arms, and you didn't go back to eat dumplings, what are you muttering by yourself?" Liu Kui's voice came from the nearby slope.

Liu Xia excitedly showed off to Liu Kui: "Brother, the cat can laugh, really, the cat can laugh, he just smiled for me several times in a row, it looks so good!"

Liu Mao came over, took the cat from Liu Xia's hand, and whistled: "Cat, give uncle a smile too."

The cat really opened its mouth and smiled again.

Liu Kui supported the cat's buttocks with one big hand and his feet with the other, lifting the cat high. "Oh, Mao'er, be tall, the uncle holds you up high, and the cat will give uncle a smile."

"Brother, don't scare the cat." Liu Xia worriedly stretched out his hand to take the cat.

Liu Kui held the cat in his arms and walked on the road: "Whenever, children like to be teased like this, Yao'er, you can go back and eat dumplings, I'll go down and call your second brother over."

The two had already reached the slope leading to the yard, and Liu Xia stretched out his hand: "He's back?" Ever since the incident where Liu Mao was about to throw the cat to death, Liu Xia refused to call his second brother, and usually even mentioned it. Not to mention Liu Mao.

Liu Kui smiled, and didn't give the cat to Liu Xia: "You don't even call a brother, you are so angry, Yaoer, your second brother is because your second sister-in-law is gone, and I feel very uncomfortable. Don't hold grudges against him, he came back yesterday, I'm sorry to come here, it's Chinese New Year today, it's so uncomfortable to let him be here alone, I'll call him over later, you don't like it Show him face."

Liu Xia felt unhappy when he mentioned Liu Mao, but he still nodded reluctantly: "Got it, you go call him, but don't carry the cat over there, I won't let him carry the cat unless he comes over later, I can only let him hug if I can treat the cat well and give the cat lucky money."

Liu Kui shook his head and smiled, and gave him the cat: "It's fine, you go back quickly, or my mother should come out to look for you, I couldn't find you just now, I thought my uncle who was celebrating the New Year fixed you again .”

Before Liu Xia reached the yard, he saw Liu Ling, Liu Hai, and Liu Yu holding a bowl, and they were about to come down. Seeing him, Liu Hai called out: "Hurry up, this year's dumplings are more meaty, I don't know." A few are looking for you, hurry up and eat."

Liu Xia happily showed the cat to a few of them: "The cat can laugh, and it kept laughing at me just now, uh...ha, ha, ha, brother (five), I'm so anxious..."

Liu Ling picked up another dumpling and blew it back and forth a few times. Liu Xia opened his mouth and ate it: "It's delicious, I'll go grab a big bowl and eat it."

The people in the room had already heard Liu Xia's voice, and as soon as he entered, He Xiumei brought over a large bowl full of steaming dumplings: "Go and sit on the kang, chop up about three catties of meat for today's stuffing, It's delicious." The meat is rabbit meat, and Liu Changqing caught three rabbits in the past few days, which were all luxury items for the two families during the Chinese New Year, one was chopped up for dumpling filling, and two were fried for the children at noon.

No matter how difficult life is at home, the children must be given something to look forward to during the Chinese New Year.

There was a stove burning all the time in the room, and there were so many people, it was very warm. Liu Xia sat on the kang, put the cat in the hollow of his leg, took the bowl, and impatiently picked up a dumpling and ate it: "Mom, pick some meat." Give it to the cat, dare you?"

"Don't dare!" Everyone in the room except Liu Wei and Liu Rui said in unison.

Liu Xia curled his lips, and blew one more for himself. Before he put it in his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. The crotch of his crotch was hot, and the area was getting bigger and bigger. Liu Xia put the bowl on the kang table with a mournful face: "Mom, cat He peed on my crotch again."

Sun Chang'e gritted her teeth and walked over, clapping her face on her hands: "You little grandson, didn't I tell you to urinate on him after a while, so you just remember to eat it, right? Your crotch will burn if you burn it again." , it’s hard to touch now, besides, it’s broad daylight, and it’s Chinese New Year, your cotton trousers are wet, you’ve been sitting under the quilt for a whole day?” As she spoke, she quickly carried the cat over, Reaching out to touch Mao'er's cotton trousers, they were also soaked, so she took them off. The cat's little butt was wet, and she directly wiped it dry with the wet part of the cotton trousers.

Liu Xia stood up and quickly stripped off his bottom, while Liu Wei ate dumplings beside him and said, "Shame."

Liu Xia also wiped his lower body dry, and said indifferently: "What a shame, you still look at it, are you from Xiao Nier's family?"

Xiumei happened to come over to dry Liu Rui's dumpling soup, and she stretched out her hand to slap Liu Xia's ass: "Quickly put on the quilt, to show that you have grown a chick?"

Liu Kui and Liu Mao just entered the door, and Liu Xia yelled at Liu Kui: "Brother, my sister-in-law is playing hooligans."

Xiumei smiled and came back to the original place: "I haven't washed you a hundred times when I was a child, but I have tricked you hundreds of times and you are a rogue. You just talk about it today." Xiumei went to Liujialing. At that time, Liu Xia was under three years old, and there was only one bare-bottomed child. Except for Xia Tian, ​​she would bathe Liu Xia at other times.

Liu Changqing threw the quilt over, and Liu Xia opened the quilt and sat in: "Brother, you married a female hooligan."

Liu Kui laughed, pushed Liu Mao to sit on a stool next to the kang, saw that the pot of dumplings was not yet cooked, and handed Liu Mao a well-ground stone: "Here, didn't I give it to them beforehand?" Smash a few walnuts to eat, and the dumplings will be ready in no time."

Liu Mao took the stone without saying a word, took out a few walnuts from a large sack nearby, and slowly smashed them on the stone pier beside him. He was originally the same as the other brothers of the Liu family, with a handsome face and a tall and straight figure. But now, his face is gloomy and haggard, his thin coal mine overalls are dangling around him, and he sits in the shadow by the wall, like dead wood, the noise of the big family around him doesn't affect him in the slightest.

Liu Kui saw Liu Xia clearly ignoring Liu Mao just now, and was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, so he purposely kept the two of them apart, but seeing Liu Mao's expression now, he might just let him and Liu Xia sit under the quilt He will not have any reaction.

Liu Kui sighed secretly, and walked over to get the dumplings.

Sun Chang'e was afraid that the cat hadn't finished urinating, so she squatted on the ashes in front of the stove for a while, and the cat struggled to refuse to urinate after a few more drops. She handed the cat to Liu Xia: "Use It's clean, I'll go to that room to get him diapers and cotton pants later, you can celebrate the New Year with your butt naked today."

Liu Xia smiled shamelessly: "If you're naked, you'll be naked. It's smooth to poop, pee, and fart." He took the cat and stuffed it into the bed, still crossing his legs and wanted the cat to sit in the lap hole. With his cotton trousers off, his son is very small and soft, and he can't sit still on his stomach, so Liu Xiazhi put him sideways.

He Xiumei made dumplings and teased him: "You're naked, but hold the cat well, don't let him kick your dick off."

Liu Xia suddenly thought of something, put the cat upright, put his arms around him, and turned his face to Liu Changqing on the opposite side of the kang table: "Uncle, the cat can laugh, just laughed for me for a long time, and also laughed for the elder brother several times, look, He tilted his head to coax the cat: "Cat, give Grandpa a smile."

Mao'er looked at the dumpling bowl on the Kang table expressionlessly.

Liu Xia is not reconciled, he wants to show the cat's cuteness to everyone, so that everyone may like the cat more: "Cat, be good, for grandpa, here, there is grandpa, smile, my cat Be good, just smile!"

Everyone in the room looked at the cat, and Liu Rui even came over and lay down on the edge of the Kang to stare at the cat's face: "Smile, the cat smiles."

The cat suddenly raised its head, and smiled very cutely at Liu Changqing.

Everyone in the room became excited: "I laughed, oh, my saliva is flowing out"

Liu Xia was so beautiful in his heart that he was even more proud of being No. 1 in the exam. He held Mao'er's small face and cheered: "Mao'er, smile again, smile again."

Mao'er laughed again, and his face turned red when he finished laughing. Liu Xia only had time to say "What are you doing, Mao'er", but before the word "la" came out, everyone in the room heard a familiar "stab la la... ...Porf...", and Liu Xia only felt a burst of heat in his stomach, followed by the heat below.

Suddenly there was no sound in the room.

Liu Xia froze for at least five seconds before gritting his teeth and howling: "Mao'er, what do you want to do today?"

The laughter brought back Liu Ling and the others who were eating in the yard, and asked curiously as soon as they came in: "What's the matter, what are you talking about, so interesting?"

When Sun Chang'e came over and lifted the quilt to lift the cat up, everyone in the room almost collapsed from laughter: the cat had diarrhea, and the yellow poop went down from under Liu Xia's belly button, and Liu Xia's penis It's all muddled.
