all the way

The snow was too heavy on the eve of the stove sacrifice. Although it was sunny in the back and the snow on the shady road had almost melted, it was still very difficult to leave. Therefore, the second day of the junior high school should be the day when the daughter brought her family back to her mother's house. Liujialing The nearby villages didn't have lively and intimate scenes outside, they couldn't go out, and of course people from outside couldn't come in either.

Liu Xia and the others are happy that Liu Kui doesn't have to go out for a day, but they are very disappointed that Yunzhi and Yuzhi can't come back. Although Yunzhi's son-in-law makes them a little uncomfortable, Yunzhi is a sister who grew up together, and they still miss it very much.

From the [-]th to the fifth day of the new year, Liu Changqing gave the children a holiday. Homework and handwriting were all stopped, and he just had to concentrate on playing and having fun.

Just after lunch at noon on the second day of junior high school, the three Liu Miao brothers came.

Their grandma's house is in the brigade, and there is no delay in visiting. However, the three brothers don't like grandma's house very much. If they are useless, they will die. When a large group of relatives are together, they will only say that one is bald and the other is blind. So they ran back early by themselves and came to play at Liu Xia's house.

Liu Miao and Liu Sen are already considered adults, and they can think about some things openly. Everyone tacitly didn't mention Liu Xia's going to his house to make trouble.

Liu Yu asked Liu Miao: "Why didn't you go to the big autumn?"

Liu Miao said: "There are so many people, just that one autumn, there is no turn once a day, it's boring, it's not as beautiful as your house, Jianbin and the others also want to come to your house to play, and it's embarrassing, I just come .”

The nearby villages do not have any entertainment activities throughout the year. Only during the Chinese New Year, each village will set up a very large swing for the whole village to play. It will not be dismantled until the first lunar month. It can be regarded as an annual carnival for the whole village. Festival.

Daqiu of the Liujialing Brigade is right in front of the third grandpa’s house. The autumn stand is 15 meters high and can accommodate five or six adults to play at the same time. It feels like flying when swinging.

As long as Liu Xia can remember, he went to the big autumn with his family every year, until the cat was born, he never went there again, not only him, but Liu Changqing's family never went there again.

Liu Xia mentioned it to Liu Changqing two years ago, saying that he wanted cats to have a good time, and asked if he could have a big fall at the foot of his home.

Liu Changqing said: "That's not a child, that big autumn is not just for people to play with, it's because your sixth master deliberately let you stand at the door of his house for your grandfather. Your grandfather is old and in poor health. Your sixth master said too much." Gather some popularity, and when you have enough yang energy, the kid won't dare to go there."

Hearing Liu Miao's words today, Liu Xia thought again, Mao'er was six or seven years old, and he hadn't even played in the autumn, he felt uncomfortable, so he decided to talk to his brothers.

Liu Kui and Liu Chuan were sitting in the sun watching Liu Ling carve a seal with a small piece of radish. After hearing what Liu Xia said, the three of them looked at each other. Bo said."

Liu Xia and Mao'er watched Liu Miao and Liu Yu play badminton for a while, when Liu Changqing, Liu Changchun, Liu Kui, Liu Chuan, and Liu Ling all came over, watching under the big oak tree in the yard, Liu Xia hurried over.

Liu Changqing said to him: "If you want to let the child play in the autumn, let's put a small one in our yard. Let's just hang out with our own family. Are you going to win?"

Liu Xia laughed happily: "Hit, as long as the cat can sit on it."

Several adults set up a swing under the big oak tree at the speed of soldiers performing tasks. It is only three meters high, but the things made by Liu Changqing and Liu Kui are not only strong, but also very delicate.

The shelf is made of three elm trunks that have been peeled off, and the bottom is built with stones to fix the shelf very firmly. The thick hemp rope of the child's arm is divided into two strands at the bottom, which just firmly fixes a small bench on the ground. middle.

Liu Xia hugged the joyous cat up, and the cat couldn't keep its mouth shut when it smiled: "Hey, Kemei, I won't fall off when I sit on it and eat."

Before dinner, Liu Changchun wove the small bench out of corn hats. Not only did it look beautiful, but it didn't feel cold when sitting on it.

In this way, in addition to badminton, the children have a new toy at home, and the house is more lively all day long. The Liu Miao brothers can't wait to live in Liu Xia's house.

From the sixth day of the sixth day, the children resumed their calligraphy practice tasks every day, and Liu Ling and Liu Xia were no exception, but this did not burden them at all.

The happy days continued, but Liu Kui, Liu Chuan, Liu Ling, and Liu Yu had to go out for a while every day to find classmates and friends of the same age.

At noon on the eighth day of the lunar new year, the sun was very warm and there was no wind. The whole family sat in the yard after eating, knocking on rocks, knocking on rocks, preparing posts, and sewing. After two o’clock, Xiumei got up to give the cat While boiling the milk, I saw a green figure on the east mountain road.

The whole family was a little flustered by Chen Zhenbei's uninvited guest, not only because he took the initiative to provide Liu Ling with the opportunity to join the army, which made the whole family grateful, but also because of this young soldier who was only three years older than Liu Ling. His imposing manner is neither overpowering by wealth nor arrogance.

In fact, Chen Zhenbei looks like a big boy with his sweaty head but a happy smile, but even so, he still gives people the feeling of being overwhelmed.

The people in the Liu family mountain, the Pengmen Pihu household, inevitably felt a little bit at a loss for a while.

Chen Zhenbei can clearly point out everyone in Liu's family, and a mouthful of Beijing movies makes people feel smooth and affectionate.

When Liu Xia followed Liu Ling and took him to the cave where they lived, he was still worried that Chen Zhenbei would be intimidated by their crude furnishings and patched bedding, but who knew that Chen Zhenbei lay down on the kang Called: "Such a big kang? It's so comfortable, this cave dwelling is really warm."

Mao'er looked at Chen Zhenbei's muddy leather shoes, then at Liu Xia, and said to Chen Zhenbei, who was inhaling comfortably, "You have to take off your shoes, or the quilt will be soaked." , I haven’t wet the bed for a long time, my quilt is clean.”

With Liu Ling and Liu Chuan, two handsome uncles in military and police uniforms, Maoer, who has no distracting thoughts, is not afraid of someone like Chen Zhenbei at all.

No matter how busy or cold it is, Chang'e Sun and Xiumei will take out and wash all the quilts at home before the New Year every year. In addition, there are many sunny days this year, and the quilts are dried outside almost every day. Although they look dilapidated, they are clean and warm.

Chen Zhenbei sat on the train all night last night, and just walked for three or four hours on the mountain road. His feet in leather shoes hurt very much, so he was so relaxed and comfortable when he saw Kang at this moment.

He immediately sat up when he heard the cat's words, and stretched out his hand to lift the cat to the edge of the bed: "Mao'er, your family law is big enough, and uncle's feet are not placed on the kang, so it's okay?"

Mao'er left Liu Xia's side, actually feeling a little guilty, but he still puffed up his face and said to Chen Zhenbei: "If you don't win, you have to take off your shoes when you get on the kang. My uncle doesn't want to see scum on the kang."

Chen Zhenbei looked at Liu Ling and smiled: "Why is this little guy so interesting? Look at his seriousness, isn't he about to catch up with Ma Jiazheng when he is giving a report?"

Liu Ling said helplessly to Chen Zhenbei: "Company commander, even if you are not the political commissar of the regiment, no one would like others to wear shoes on the kang, right? Well, you take off your shoes and lie down, my mother and sister-in-law are making dumplings Well, I will bring you this house to eat in a while."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenbei hurriedly got off the kang: "I don't have any aunt to cook for me. My uncle seems to be lying down and waiting for someone to deliver it. My life will be shortened. I'll go and eat."

The local custom is "nineteen seals", that is, the dumpling stuffing on New Year's Eve can not be broken until the nineteenth day of the first month, and the stuffing is kept in the middle until the nineteenth day of the first month, and the dumplings are tightly squeezed on the nineteenth night of the first month. , which is equivalent to passing this year to its fullest.

There is a problem here, that is, if the winter is not cold enough, the dumpling stuffing is not easy to preserve and will turn sour.

The Liu family’s method is to put the large clay pots with dumpling fillings in the Fengxi River, and cover it with a stone slab;

But even so, the dumpling stuffing filled with two pieces of rabbit meat and Sophora japonica just the day before yesterday was still somewhat sour.

Xiumei asked Chen Zhenbei anxiously: "Why don't you wait for a while and I'll roll out noodles for you?"

Chen Zhenbei swallowed a dumpling: "Sister-in-law, I like to eat slightly sour dumplings, which are better than this one. What kind of meat is in this stuffing? It's very delicious, chewy and fragrant."

Liu Ling, who was sitting opposite him, said, "Dried and steamed rabbit meat."

Chen Zhenbei nodded: "When we get back to the army, let's catch rabbits and let the cooking team make this. It's delicious."

Chen Zhenbei's practical action of eating two large bowls completely relieved Sun Chang'e and Xiumei from feeling that they had neglected the guests.

Chen Zhenbei is much easier to feed than the Liu family imagined. He and Liu Chuan, Liu Ling, and Liu Xia made the same adjustment, especially emphasizing that he was tired of eating white steamed buns and rice, and cornmeal steamed buns, steamed sweet potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes were his favorites. Love, this made both Sun Chang'e and Xiumei breathe a sigh of relief.

When Chen Zhenbei was arranged to stay at night, Chang'e Sun felt that he and Liu Ling were the most familiar, and wanted Liu Ling to live in Liu Chuan's house with him, but Liu Xia refused. He had only seen Liu Ling for three years, and he firmly refused. Get Liu Ling out.

Of course Liu Ling was also reluctant to part with Liu Xia. Although he was only four years older than Liu Xia, Liu Ling loved Liu Xia very much, especially now that Liu Xia was usually farthest from him, and they would be separated again in a few days. I cherish the time spent alone with Liu Xia every night.

Moreover, he felt that the eldest brother and the third brother were both soldiers, and there was no obstacle in getting along with Chen Zhenbei. It would be best for Chen Zhenbei and Liu Chuan to live together. They must have a lot in common.

Chen Zhenbei also joined the army first and then went to the military academy, and Chen Zhenbei's original unit belonged to the same military region as Liu Chuan.

Facts have proved that Liu Ling's feeling is correct. Chen Zhenbei is not only very close to Liu Kui and Liu Chuan, but also very compatible when talking with Liu Changqing. He knows that Liu Changqing has been on the Korean battlefield, so when talking to Liu Changqing, their topics Basically, they are talking about that war.

Chen Zhenbei respected Liu Changqing very much, and Liu Changqing also admired Chen Zhenbei very much. In just half a day, Chen Zhenbei and the men of the Liu family established trust and friendship between men.

After several young people left the main room at night, they returned to the room where Liu Xia lived and continued to chat. The first question Chen Zhenbei asked Liu Chuan was: "Brother Liu Chuan, you are from the 12th Division of the XX Army?"

Liu Chuan nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhenbei said: "Liu Ling said that you were a soldier in 7* years and you were in the XX Army, but he said he never remembered that your family said you had been on the Vietnam battlefield. How could this be possible? At that time, the XX Army was the first batch of soldiers on the Eastern Front. The main force, all members go to battle!"

Liu Chuan looked at the window, no one was outside, then looked at Liu Kui, and smiled at Chen Zhenbei: "Hehe, you don't understand!"

Chen Zhenbei also looked out the window, and when he looked at Liu Kui, Liu Kui stretched out his arms and hugged Liu Chuan beside him.

Liu Xia and Liu Ling understood immediately. Liu Ling, who has been familiar with military history in recent years, also instantly understood what Liu Chuan might have experienced.

Chen Zhenbei also understood, he put his arm around Liu Ling who had red eyes: "It's okay, third brother is here well! It's okay! At that time, the 12th division suffered so much damage, how can third brother Coming back safely shows that he has great fortune and destiny, and he will definitely get better and better in the future."

Liu Chuan said with a smile: "I wrote a suicide note at the time, hehe, fortunately, it was useless." He also stretched out an arm and put his arms around the shoulder of his elder brother Liu Kui: "Only the elder brother knows about this, I gave it to the elder brother. The letter is marked separately in the same envelope, although it is not sealed, neither my parents nor my sister-in-law will read it, they are used to me sometimes having a few words with my elder brother alone."

When Liu Xia grew up later, he remembered that Liu Chuan appeared in front of himself and his family in such a calm and peaceful manner after changing jobs, and that no matter how difficult life and work might be in the future, Liu Chuan could face it calmly. Did he have sex with Liu Chuan? About the battlefield?

When Liu Xia encountered the greatest difficulty later, when facing the most difficult choice and felt that life would be better than death, he remembered what Liu Chuan said today: "As long as you live, there will be hope. Just think about those comrades who sacrificed. Things will become normal."

Liu Chuan asked Chen Zhenbei back: "Why are you so familiar with the XX Army?"

Chen Zhenbei looked at Liu Chuan, smiled but did not answer.

Liu Chuan was excited: "So you are from the XX Army? You also participated in the self-defense counterattack?"

Chen Zhenbei smiled helplessly: "I was just 16 years old when I was thrown into the XX army by my father, because I almost killed a group of friends in a fight at home, and the brothers who fought with me were also thrown into the army by their father. In order to prevent us from getting together and causing trouble again, we were thrown into different troops.

Less than half a year after I joined the army, we launched a self-defense counterattack. At that time, the veterans around me despised me as a young soldier. I took a gamble and wrote a blood letter like other comrades-in-arms to ask to go to the battlefield. My father and elder brother wanted to transfer me away. I threatened them with a gun at myself while I was there, and I got hurt a little later, "

He pointed to the location of his heart: "A piece of shrapnel here is too close to the heart, and it has not been removed. After returning home, I frantically made up my homework for a year, and my dad helped me again, and I entered XX College.

Three years ago, my family contacted a British doctor for me and asked me to go back to Kyoto to prepare for surgery. I almost forgot that I still had a piece of shrapnel in my body, but my dad and the others did not forget it. I was suddenly dead.

After I returned to Kyoto, the doctor had something to postpone the trip and asked me to adjust my body and mood in the hospital to prepare for the operation. Brother Jianguo, that is, Lu Jianguo, is coming down to recruit soldiers, so he came to the hospital to see me. I just don’t want to stay idle in the hospital , I left a note and came out with him, just playing along, I didn’t expect to meet Liu Ling, not a while after meeting Liu Ling that day, my dad’s phone was transferred to Wangning, the British doctor had already arrived in Kyoto, Let me go back quickly..."

Liu Xia really didn't expect that the third brother and Chen Zhenbei had actually been on the battlefield.

But the topic later made him feel very heavy. Although Liu Chuan, Chen Zhenbei, and Liu Ling expressed some things in a more cryptic manner, Liu Xia could still hear that the result of that war was not a war like what he knew. Great victories, how many disasters caused by purely human factors or technological factors that people cannot directly see, only those who have experienced it know.

Both Liu Chuan and Chen Zhenbei had lost their closest comrades-in-arms.

Less than half of the reconnaissance company Liu Chuan was in survived. He saw his company commander, platoon leader, and a dozen comrades collapsed tens of meters away from him.

Chen Zhenbei saw with his own eyes that his squad leader and best friend were blown to pieces by landmines.

An army that has not experienced a war for 30 years and is in its comfort zone relying on false maneuvers to exaggerate itself to a high place is a personal disaster, and it is a country's tragedy.

Both Liu Chuan and Chen Zhenbei went to the military academy, and they hoped that the bloody history would change from themselves.

After only two days, the Liu family no longer felt any sense of distance when facing Chen Zhenbei.

On the open ground in front of the cave dwelling, the Liu family sat close together, high and low. Except for Liu Hai and Liu Mao, the whole family was considered complete.

Chen Zhenbei brought a camera with him, and he suggested that Liu's family take a family portrait, because Liu Hai and Liu Mao were not at home, and everyone felt that it was impossible to take a picture.

But Chen Zhenbei insisted, saying that this year's photo is not considered a family portrait, but just for fun. He will come again next year, and then he will take a real family portrait.

Liu Changqing and his wife sat in the middle, Liu Changchun sat next to Liu Changqing, Xiumei sat next to Sun Chang'e, beside them were four young children, and behind them were the five brothers Liu Kui.

After the whole family took photos, they began to freely assemble.

Liu Changqing and his wife; Liu Kui and his wife; Liu Kui and his wife and three sons; five brothers of the Liu family; four little guys; Liu Changqing and his wife and four little guys; all male members of the Liu family; Sun Chang'e and Xiumei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...

Liu Ling took several photos of Liu Xia and Mao'er, the two standing in front of the cave; Liu Xia sitting on the swing, Mao'er sitting in his arms; the two sitting on the branch of a tree...

Chen Zhenbei later took a few snapshots of everyone in the family.

He taught Liu Chuan how to use a camera and asked him to take pictures of himself and Liu Ling.

Then let Liu Xia learn to take a group photo of Liu Changqing, Liu Kui, Liu Chuan, Liu Ling, and Chen Zhenbei, five former and current soldiers.

Chen Zhenbei's grandfather, father, and elder brother are also soldiers. He has full respect for soldiers like Liu Changqing who have actually been on the battlefield. He feels that the war he has experienced is just a relatively large-scale war in a sense It's just a battle, and it's still a battle of obvious winners and secret losers.

Then he taught Xiumei to take pictures of Chen Zhenbei and all the male members of the Liu family.

Most of the time, Chen Zhenbei was mature and stable, but sometimes he was completely a child. Because he heard Liu Ling talk about the game of 'touching the persimmon monkey', he was eager to try it when he saw the big persimmon trees around the Liu family's yard.

Liu Kui and Liu Chuan haven't played this game for a long time, and Liu Ling refused to accompany him crazy, so he called Liu Yu and Liu Xia to play together.

In the end, the people who participated in the game were: Chen Zhenbei, Liu Yu, Liu Xia, Liu Wei, Liu Rui, and Maoer.

In the first game, Liu Wei lost in palm guessing and became a 'blind man'. After 10 minutes, Liu Rui was arrested. Liu Rui refused to be blind and asked to quit the game.

Chen Zhenbei volunteered to be blind for Liu Rui, and was blindfolded.

Ten minutes passed, and Chen Zhenbei was sweating anxiously. He felt that Liu Wei's movement of climbing along the branches was very easy, but it was completely different after he blindfolded, and lost the help of his eyes. , He couldn't even keep his balance, he groped and climbed the tree trunk cautiously, and almost fell down several times.

Liu Xia learned from the ongoing game that the little Maoer is more courageous than him now, not only dared to jump between two persimmon trees as if walking on the ground, but also dared to play tricks by hanging a golden rooster upside down from the upper branch. blind'.

Once Liu Xia was on the branch below him, and Chen Zhenbei was separated from them by a larger branch. He hung himself upside down, pointed to his little face and asked Liu Xia to kiss him.

Liu Xia pretended to be angry and glared at him, but still kissed him and made a noise on purpose. By the time Chen Zhenbei rushed over regardless, both Mao'er and Liu Xia had already jumped to a branch farther away, but Chen Zhenbei almost A little fell to the bottom of the tree.

This time the game was played for almost an hour, and finally ended with Chen Zhenbei voluntarily admitting defeat.

The children are very familiar with every branch of these two trees, Chen Zhenbei who is blindfolded really has no advantage.

After coming down, Chen Zhenbei wiped his sweat and said to Liu Ling: "I'm so nervous, but it's really fun... Sigh, if our family is one-tenth as interesting as yours, I won't bother you during the Chinese New Year. "

Liu Ling said: "It's nothing to disturb. We are very happy to have people from outside come in. We always want our children to see more people and the world outside. Company Commander, if you like it, as long as you have time, our family Welcome anytime!"

Chen Zhenbei said: "Liu Ling, that's what you said. I didn't insist on coming. I will come back with you during your family visits from now on."

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Wei started school, and two days later, Liu Rui and Mao'er would also start school, and Liu Xia began to feel uncomfortable.

In the past few days, besides playing with Maoer every day, he is teaching him to write posts, recognize characters and count. He finds words suitable for Maoer to practice from Thousand Characters or other posts, and teaches him to read first, and then explain the words and definitions. Finally, he was taught to copy.

The cat has learned dozens of more characters, and has already mastered simple division.

Maoer was very excited about this, and asked Liu Xia to come up with a problem to compete with Liu Wei. He was defeated every time, but his morale was high: "Uncle, I will surpass you after teaching for two more days. smart."

When Mao'er was fast asleep, Liu Xia looked at him distressed and worried. He still had three and a half years to graduate. In these three and a half years, how much grievance will Mao'er suffer in school?

Liu Xia kept telling himself: I have already gone to university, and after graduation, I will have a job and a salary, and the cat will soon live a good life. From now on, I can support the cat for the rest of its life, and make the child happy all the time Xing, don't be afraid of not studying well.

However, no matter how beautiful he imagined his future life would be, it is a reality that Mao'er is isolated and disliked at school now, no amount of self-consolation can make Liu Xia feel less distressed.

The more well-behaved and sensible the cat is now, the more Liu Xia loves him, the more carefree and happy he is in front of him, the more Liu Xia can't bear the upcoming separation.

When Liu Wei returned home on the first day of school, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.

Chen Zhenbei was shocked from the bottom of his heart when Liu Ling said lightly that he ran to Wangning to go to school every day, and he began to worry about the children under Liu's family.

Liu Xin usually likes Liu Wei very much, but today she hasn't seen her for a day, she is very excited to see Liu Wei coming back, she always reaches out to hug Liu Wei.

Liu Wei must be tired and hungry. Everyone wanted him to eat first. He hugged Liu Xin for a few minutes and Sun Chang'e took Liu Xin over. Ask Liu Rui and Mao'er to sing him a song to divert his attention.

Liu Rui and Mao'er can't sing a few songs, and Liujialing Primary School doesn't have music classes.

The two discussed it and sang to Liu Xin together: "I found a penny on the side of the road and handed it to the police uncle..."

This is what the two of them learned from the radio in the past few days. Some words were not quite right, but Liu Xin immediately became happy.

Sun Chang'e patted Liu Xin and said casually, "Xiao Xin, you have to be a good boy when you grow up. Did you hear that, if you find any money, you have to hand it over to the police, it's not that we can't take anything."

Xiumei said: "If my son picks up the money, give it to Chuan'er and he will win. Our Chuan'er is the police!"

The cat said regretfully: "No one lost any money! Many people in my class don't have lucky money, not even a penny. How can I pick up the money and give it to my third uncle?"

Liu Chuan teased the cat: "You give your new year's money to the third uncle, and the third uncle will give it to you, Teacher Guan, and I will ask her to praise you in class."

The cat immediately covered his little pocket: "No, I don't want to pick up the money. I also want to buy stewed noodles for my uncle, but I won't give it to you."

Liu Wei suddenly asked, "Third Uncle, your Public Security Bureau not only catches villains and spies, but also catches hooligans and women's broken shoes?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at Liu Wei, not knowing where he came from.

Liu Wei ate the steamed bun and said: "Today, my teacher said that there was a girl in the third grade of junior high school who was pregnant, and she went to the hospital secretly to do something during the winter vacation... She had a miscarriage, and the people in the hospital called her out, as soon as school starts today , the school expelled her.

My teacher said she was a bad shoe, and said that if someone in my school dares to be a hooligan and fall in love with a bad girl, he will not only be expelled, but also asked the public security bureau to arrest him and parade him in prison. "

The people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was a little unacceptable for them to say this from Liu Wei, an 11-year-old child.

Sun Chang'e said: "What's the matter with the children these days? They're not married yet... Oh, how can I find my in-law's family after this!"

Liu Xia thought of Wu Hongjuan when he was in Rongze High School, and felt very strange, but he felt that he shouldn't ask at this time, so he didn't say anything.

The cat asked him: "What is a hooligan? What is a woman's broken shoe?"

Liu Xia frowned, thinking about how to explain these two very derogatory terms to Mao'er: "That is, boys don't study well, they don't study well in school, they whistle at other little girls; Work hard and idle, that is a hooligan;

If the girl doesn't go to school well, she follows the boys over the wall to play in the middle of the night, ironing woolen hair, and she is called a girl's broken shoe. "

After listening to Liu Xia's explanation, Liu Chuan and Liu Ling exchanged a helpless and funny look.

Chen Zhenbei burst out laughing: "Yaoer, you said that women's broken shoes are all over the streets in Kyoto, whoops...the ones who iron wool heads are women's broken shoes... Yaoer, you are making me laugh."

Liu Xia thought about the female teachers at Jiangcheng University, and felt that his definition was a bit inaccurate.

But before he could figure out how to correct it, Mao'er said to him very seriously: "Uncle, I study hard, don't whistle to little girls, and work hard like my uncle when I grow up, I don't want to be a hooligan .”

Liu Xia said: "My cat is so good, I have to go to the best university in Kyoto when I grow up, how can I become a hooligan!"

The cat nodded proudly: "Well, when I grow up, I will be a good boy and be filial to you. When you are old, I will feed you and bring you a urinal."

It is the most representative and specific description or requirement of people in this area to take care of their old age. It is the most anticipated and most gratifying for everyone with children. and something to be proud of.

Everyone in the room was amused by Mao'er's words. Liu Xia's vanity was satisfied to the maximum, and he kissed Mao'er's small face and forehead several times to encourage him.

Xiumei said about Liu Wei and Liu Rui: "Did you hear that, if you don't study hard, you will become a gangster if you don't whistle at her little girl, and she will be expelled from the school. Our little girl can't be that kind of person."

Liu Changqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly coughed, and the room fell silent.

Liu Xia and the others immediately sat up straight, and even Chen Zhenbei straightened his body again.

Liu Changqing looked around and said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, all of you. Although I don't go out often now, I know that the world is a bit different now. Those kids outside don't know where to learn it. What a bad thing, what an openness to say.

I don’t care what kind of family is like, I don’t know if it’s open or not, but I know it’s not good, no matter what time it is, no matter what nice name you give him, the core inside is still Same, he can't become anything good.

When a man can bear hardships and take responsibility, and when a woman knows how to keep her duty, this is a good virtue at any time, and it will not change.

What is a man?That is: it’s your own business, no matter how hard or tired or difficult it is, you have to carry it on your shoulders, you can’t hide behind, if you have a breath, you have to support your own home and take care of your wife, children and family;

What is a woman's duty?

It's not a big problem to be unruly and self-willed when you are a girl, and it's not a sin to disobey your parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

To get married is to live with one person for the rest of your life. If you want to be the master and find a satisfactory person, you are responsible for yourself, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Your mother and I have never felt that disobedience to our parents' orders in marriage is something immoral, disobedient and unfilial."

Liu Changqing raised his tone: "However, you don't have to ignore the gossip of outsiders, and you don't have to follow the orders of your parents, but you must guard your innocence.

Married, you must take care of your husband, teach your children, manage the housework, and be content with women's ways;

Now there are some people outside who use free love as an excuse to do some shady things, and you are not allowed to follow suit.

A person must have integrity, and chastity is not only about women, men also have to regard their bodies as precious, and cannot treat themselves as animals that can't even control their own flesh.

Your mother and I will worry about your marriage for a few years, but we will not force you. In matters of marriage, we will never drink water and force our heads. This situation will never happen in our family.

But you also remember to me: you can fall in love freely, but you have to behave in love.

Why do you say it's about love?It is to let two people talk a lot together, what is on the mind of the person, and if they talk too much, it will naturally be revealed slowly. At this time, whether a person is good or bad, whether it is suitable for you, you will decide We all know.

Other things can only be done after marriage.

You just think that you will hit it off with someone else's daughter again, and if you wait to see her again, you are not allowed to touch someone else's daughter without a marriage certificate and marriage to the bridal chamber.

No matter how long you talk about it, at which point you feel inappropriate and want to quit, as long as you have never met someone else's daughter, your mother and I will support you, we will not say anything about the money spent in the past, and neither will we. I blame you.

We will earn more money in the future, if you marry an unvirtuous woman, the disaster will not only affect you for the rest of your life, but also affect the children of the next generation.

But if someone's daughter says that you touched someone's little finger, you listen to me, then the other party is a fool, a blind man and a lame man, and you have to marry him back.

After you get married, the two of you will get the hell out of here and go there by yourself. I can't see the two of you ignorant of shame and morality. Things are dangling in front of my eyes.

And as long as I live, you don't even think about getting a divorce. Our family can't tolerate such messy things, do you hear me? "

Liu Chuan, Liu Ling, and Liu Yu quickly stood up: "I heard that."

Liu Changqing looked at Liu Xia majestically: "Are you? Why don't you speak?"

Liu Xia was hugging the cat, unable to stand up in a hurry, and he also felt that he was wronged: "Uncle, I am only sixteen, besides, there are only two girls in my class, both of whom are several years older than me. I never thought about falling in love!"

Liu Changqing said: "You are still young now, and when you grow up, this is the same rule, do you hear me?"

Liu Xia quickly replied: "I heard it."

Liu Changqing looked at a group of children and said to Chen Zhenbei: "I'm afraid they are young and don't know how to be good and bad, and they can learn everything. I said a few more words to them. My country people don't understand some basic principles. They speak rudely and make you laugh." gone."

Chen Zhenbei said: "How could it be? Uncle, I think what you said is very reasonable. I was taught by you. I have to thank Uncle for his teaching!"

After returning to the cave dwelling where Liu Xia and the others lived, several people continued the original topic.

Liu Xia said to Liu Ling: "Fifth Brother, you can find a daughter-in-law in Kyoto. Then I will take the cat to see you and Fifth Sister-in-law. Sixth Brother's letters keep saying how beautiful Kyoto is. The cat wants to play in Kyoto. If I Taking the cat to Kyoto to stay at Uncle Zeng's house, our uncle must feel that we are causing Uncle Zeng trouble."

Liu Ling pinched the cat's little cheek and said, "Look at how eccentric your uncle is. In order to let you go to Beijing to play, he asked Uncle Wu to find a girl from Kyoto with a lofty heart to be his wife. Uncle Wu will be pitiful for the rest of his life." die."

The cat said: "My uncle is not partial, my uncle is the best."

Chen Zhenbei laughed: "I figured it out, Liu Xia is not bad in Mao'er's eyes. Yao'er, when do you want to take Mao'er to the capital, write to your fifth brother, I will I'll pick you up, I'll take care of everything you have in the capital, and let your fifth brother find his wife freely!"

Liu Ling said: "I didn't have a relationship plan before I graduated. There are at least two girls in Yao'er's class. There are two monks in our team. Who should I talk to?"

Liu Chuan said: "It's hard to say, maybe one day you go to the street to buy a pack of instant noodles, and you happen to walk across a girl, and you will fall in love at first sight!"

Liu Ling said: "Impossible, one, I never buy instant noodles, two, the attractiveness of my appearance lasts too short, my heart has not had time to react, my brain has forgotten the visual excitement brought by my eyes, so, The third brother's inference is not valid."

Liu Yu said: "Xiao Ling, don't look for Li Nier in Jingdu. If people look down on you after marriage, you will not be able to live in that day. You might as well find Li Nier from our hometown. As long as you are good to you, you will be hit."

So several young people discussed the importance of appearance and connotation to love for most of the night.

Mao'er and Liu Rui reported on the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, and went to class directly on the same day.

Liu Xia picked up Mao'er and Liu Rui for two days. During these two days, Mao'er followed Liu Xia every step of the way as soon as school was over.

On the night of the thirteenth, Liu Ling and Liu Xia started to pack their things, and the cat silently helped Liu Xia to carry and hand them over to him. When Liu Xia tried to talk to him, the cat just nodded or said "huh" Said to know.

The cat didn't dare to speak, he would cry when he opened his mouth, he knew that my uncle had to go to school, he couldn't just let him go, that would make my uncle feel more uncomfortable, the cat didn't want my uncle to feel bad, so he don't cry.

That night, the family sat in the main room talking until midnight, when Liu Xia and the others returned to the cave where they lived, the cat hugged Liu Xia's neck and remained motionless.

The cat didn't sleep well all night, he didn't want to fall asleep, he wanted to see his uncle for a while.
