simple life

The next morning at around eight o'clock, while Tang Guo and the others were still sleeping, they heard intermittent voices outside.

After listening carefully, it turned out that the third grandma next door had come to the house.

In fact, other places in the countryside are okay, but there is one annoying thing, that is, door-to-door.In the city, no one knows anyone. Maybe you have lived in the same building for half your life, and you don’t necessarily know the people across the door.It can't be said that they don't know each other, but it's limited to knowing that this person lives in the opposite door.There isn't even an intersection if there's nothing common happening.

But the countryside is different. Parents and elders have taught children since childhood that everyone belongs to the same village and must have collective consciousness.In rural areas, it is quite normal to rush through the door, even early in the morning.

Of course, if you have nothing to do but just chat, it is rare for others to come over early in the morning.But in the countryside, it means a lot of things.

It is possible that a certain family needs to wash clothes and suddenly finds that there is no washing powder. At this time, they will go to the neighbor's house to ask for it.It is also possible that something happened suddenly, so they came over.

In rural areas, I don't particularly like using mobile phones to communicate like I do in cities.Even if it takes two or three minutes to walk to a certain house, they still like to talk face to face.

Therefore, in rural areas, there is a tacit habit that everyone has to get up early.Get up early even if you have nothing to do.

In fact, besides being convenient for others, getting up early has another advantage, that is, avoiding embarrassment.If the whole family can't fall asleep, and someone suddenly comes and finds that the whole family is sleeping, then others will definitely say behind their backs that the family is lazy or something.So even if the whole family really wants to sleep in, they have to make a number, and arrange someone who gets up early to be the representative of the whole family just like on duty.

Whoops, far away.

Tang's mother was chatting with the third grandma outside.Although the journey was exhausting, but after a night's rest, the spirit returned.She got up at seven o'clock to clean and light the fire, and when Tang Guo and the others got up, there would be a warm place to sit.

In fact, the third grandma is fine.It's just that when they came back last night, although there was no fanfare, they were next door after all, and they could know what was going on here.Tang's father and Tang's mother went to other provinces for several months. Now that they are back, why don't they come over and take care of them?

Here, Tang Guo and the others couldn't sleep until 08:30.The two of them went to bed quite early last night, and they no longer feel sleepy.Coupled with this kind of door-to-door in the countryside, it is better to think about it.The third grandma was the first, but certainly not the last.When others came over, Tang's mother said that they also came back, and when others asked them where they were, Tang's mother replied that they were still sleeping, which would be ugly.

The sun was out today, and it was quite bright, but not very warm.

Tang Guo walked to the living room and found that the whole room was warm. "mom."

The two who were playing in the living room saw Tang Guo approaching, so they immediately stopped and ran to him to pet them.Tang Guo rubbed them according to their wishes.

Tang Ma: "Little Treasure is awake?! Take the pot of water on the stove to wash your face, it's already boiled." She said to Tang Guo while wiping the TV cabinet.

Tang Guo said lazily: "Oh." Then he went out with the water bottle.The two followed behind and went out, and when Tang Guo came to the pool, they separated to get acquainted with the new home.

"Hey, bring some up later and burn them up for them to use." Mother Tang shouted from the room.

Tang Guo responded, "Okay, Mom."

After Tang Guo finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yan Ting came over to squeeze the toothpaste.Tang Guo asked, "Why are you so slow? When I came out, weren't you already tying your shoes?"

Yan Ting said with a smile: "I packed up the luggage I brought and put the things in the cabinet." After coming back yesterday and busying around, it was getting late.I only put on the four-piece suit I brought, and put the two suitcases aside.Just now he took out all the things inside and put them away in different categories.

Tang Guo: "Oh. Then you should wash up quickly." Pour the hot water in the pot into the basin and wait for Yan Ting to use it, then take another pot and go back to the living room.

When the water is almost boiling, the remaining ones are up.

Tang Feng also complained: "This is the only bad thing at home. If you want to sleep until twelve o'clock, you can't do it." Regarding the education of getting up early, it can only be said that Tang's mother and Tang's father's education and the influence of the whole village are too successful. Tang Feng thinks I feel stressed when I sleep until it is dark.

Tang Guo: "You have slept for at least nine hours so far, so just be content. No one cares how long you sleep after you go back."

Tang Ma: "How did Xiaoqi and Ali sleep last night? Are you used to it?"

Jiang Qi responded with a smile: "I slept very well. And I slept on the quilt I always used, even if I slept on the bed, it was cured."

Tang's mother: "That's good."

Jiang Qi: "Where's Dad? Why haven't I seen him?"

Tang's mother: "Hey, how can your father be free? I haven't been home for a long time, and I'm thinking too hard. No, we went out for a walk when we came together."

Jiang Qi: "That's good too, more exercise is good for your health."

Tang Guo: "Okay, you guys wash up first. After lunch, I'll take you out for a walk."

Jiang Qi: "Okay. Let's go, Ah Li, let's wash our face!" He directly carried the water, led Bai Li and went out.

Sure enough, after a while, someone came, it was the aunt.

As soon as the aunt opened the door, she saw six neat young men sitting inside, only two of whom she knew, she was stunned for a moment: "This is..."

Tang Feng got up quickly: "Uncle, come and sit down." He came up together, and the others followed suit.Several people are tall, and the uncle who is less than 1.6 meters feels the pressure instantly.

Tang Guo gave up the seat of the sofa: "Auntie, come and sit here."

The uncle waved her hand: "No, I'll just sit on the chair outside." Then she pulled a chair over and sat down.

The aunt said: "Just now when I went to pick vegetables, I saw the third grandma and said that you came back with me, so I came to have a look. Who are these?"

Tang Guo: "They are friends of me and my elder brother, and they are also godsons recognized by my parents."

Several people shouted instantly: "Hello, uncle."

The auntie was shocked when she heard that Father Tang and the others had many sons, there were so many.But he didn't say anything, after all, it's also popular among them to recognize godfathers and godmothers, and some people even recognize five or six.It's just not as casual as Tang's father and the others.

On their side, godfather and godmother are often called baby daddy and baby mother.From the word "bao", we can see the deep meaning inside.

Here, if the child keeps getting sick repeatedly and cannot be cured, or keeps crying and eating badly, he must recognize the rhythm of being a godfather and godmother.

This recognition of relatives is very particular. It is necessary to ask those gentlemen who understand that knowledge to read the child's birth date, and then determine which couple the child needs to worship as godfather and godmother.If the husband says that the child needs a couple whose male sign is a monkey and whose female sign is an ox as godfather and mother, then their parents have to ask their relatives and friends until they find out the couple of the Chinese zodiac.

After getting the consent of the other couple, choose a good day and auspicious day, bring various incense candle gifts, and let the children come to pay homage to the ancestors of the godfather and godmother's family, and they will be real relatives in the future.Then the godfather will give him a surname and a name.This name will not be used in daily life, and it will not have any impact on the child's future social activities, but it is necessary.

Because of various restrictions, many times, many children are looking for the same couple.Therefore, the auntie wasn't too surprised that Father Tang and the others recognized their four godsons, but she was a little surprised that these four children were all so old and they didn't go through the proper procedure of recognizing relatives.

But this matter can't bother me, so I don't care.The aunt said: "I didn't expect you to come back together this time."

Tang Feng: "Isn't this because I was very busy at work before? Now it's winter, and I can't go to work many times. The work is squeezed together. When I can go to work, I am busy with all kinds of things. I don't even have time to go home for the New Year. Even my father Mom just followed the New Year to accommodate us. We thought that we hadn’t come back to offer incense to our ancestors for several years, so we asked the company for leave this time, so we have to come back to pay our respects.”

Uncle: "That's right. Well, when it comes to winter, last year's winter was really hard. I couldn't go anywhere, and it was very cold. Some chickens and ducks froze to death. By the way, the fifth grandpa of Xingcheng's family Do you know when you're gone?"

Tang Guo: "I know, my mother said it before."

Auntie: "He is already old, and when it gets cold... not only our village, but also some old people in other villages have not survived the winter. Now the winter is cold and inconvenient. The people who helped in the past can't do anything they want It was just buried hastily..."

You can also imagine that scene.Usually, those who have Baixi at home will invite the master to beat and beat the mourning music, and then buy various things and serve wine.And everyone knows what happened last winter. If you want water, you have to pick buckets. Everything is cold, and people can't do things they want to do.Even if it is done, I believe that the guests who came to express condolences from all walks of life did not have the time to eat in the open air there.Putting down the gift money, it means that I will go home after sitting for a while...

In the future, everyone has another helpless hope, just like many people now plan contraception and hope that their children will not be born in winter, and hope that the elderly at home will not have accidents in winter. Doing business in winter is also good for the old man, allowing him to walk with dignity.
