The leisurely life of Lin Yuxi

Yuxi followed her uncle to leave the dilapidated courtyard and took the Guqin Yuxi and grandma's Guqin books.Although my uncle didn't think he would make any progress, but he had some expectations, maybe one day he could play Yuxi as well.What's more, he is still young and can try a lot.

For the next month, Yuxi would follow his aunt to learn Guqin whenever he had the chance. In one month, he learned the most basic things of Guqin, and he was able to play a short section of it. It was a pity for Zhao Lihua to keep going. Learning art, maybe you can achieve something on the guqin.Yuxi just smiled at this.

Soon it will be the day to leave. The night before leaving, Yuxi lay on the bed and asked the second baby who was still asleep, "Do you want to stay here and live or go home?"

Erwa turned over, faced him and said seriously, "Where is brother, I am here."

Yuxi smiled, "We are naturally together."

"Then I still want to go home."

"why?"

"I just want to go back." Erwa couldn't say anything, and always felt more comfortable in her own home.Although this place is fun, it is not his home.

Yuxi didn't ask any more questions.Uncle and aunt are very kind to them and treat them as their own children, but he still feels that this is not his home.Life in the city is not easy. He knows that his uncle and aunt are very busy with work, and their arrival will break their peaceful life. The three of them come to live in the city, and the cost of living is a huge expense.

During this period of time, he had a little understanding of city life. His uncle and aunt still earned a lot of money, and they were considered high-income families in this city, and their family was considered an upper-middle-class family.It would be difficult to afford the living expenses and tuition fees of the three of them. Food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city cost money. They can’t spend 20 yuan a month in their hometown. In the city, 20 yuan is enough for a week’s food. This is still a case of saving a little.

The house left by my grandparents cannot be sold easily, and my uncle's family does not have much money, otherwise they would not leave the old house empty there.He knew that it would cost a lot of money to build a courtyard like that.

Yuxi also longs for a big city, but he hopes to live in a big city with his own ability. He hopes to create his own home, the home of him and his two younger brothers.After thinking about it for a long time, he wanted to wait a few years until he went to college and waited for him to become an adult.At that time, brother Mingzhi's stewed meat shop should have developed. Even if the stewed meat shop can't bring him much profit, he still has other ways. After playing in the capital these days, he has already seen it clearly. Many things can bring him wealth.

Life is not a problem.But you have to be an adult to grasp everything.

What happened to Liu Er made him understand that only when he is strong can he protect what he wants to protect.He is still weak.

The train rumbled away from the city, Yuxi looked at the people outside the window, watched the city go away, looked away without nostalgia, one day I will come back.

It also takes more than 30 hours to go back, but this trip, with my uncle's family, is much more convenient than when I came here.My uncle dragged someone to buy a soft sleeper ticket, a small box for four people.

Along the way, there were aunts and sisters who cared about her, so Yuxi finally didn't have to worry so much.Had a great trip.

Because she got off the bus directly from Qishi, Yuxi was unable to go to Harbin to thank Director Wang and the proprietress of the hotel.Yuxi thought that she would definitely come to thank the two if she had the opportunity in the future.He had already called Director Wang through Uncle Fan and told him that his brother's operation was a success.Director Wang was very happy for him.After talking a lot, he was given the opportunity to play in Harbin City.

Arriving at Qishi Railway Station, a few people got off the train and hadn't even left the platform. From afar, they heard the cries of Dawa and Dawa. Yuxi looked up and saw Dazhu and Erpang running over, "Why are you two here?" gone?"

"Didn't you call and say you'll be home today? We came to pick him up. From the capital to our place, this is the only bus. This is uncle." Da Zhu stretched out his hand to take the luggage from Zhang Zhihui's hand.

"Well, this is my uncle and aunt, cousin Yunduo. This is brother Da Zhu from my third uncle's family, and this is Er Fat Brother from my second uncle's family."

"Hello, these two young men. They are really strong." Zhang Zhihui heard from Yuxi that some relatives were very kind to the Yuxi brothers, and he also heard many things about the two children.I had a good impression at first, but now I like it even more. The two children are both big, thick-backed, and they stretched out their hands to pat them twice, sincerely.

"Here, let's call you uncle like the big baby." Da Zhu said with a simple and honest smile.

"You call like the big baby. It's good to call him uncle." Zhang Zhihui was very happy.

"Okay, let's go out quickly and talk about it when we get home." Zhao Lihua reminded.

After leaving the train station, the group got into the car.Once here, the weather will be different. It won’t be particularly hot in late July. The sun in the sky is very sunny and the air is cloudless, but as long as you are in a cool place, you will feel very cool. sweating.It is also because of this that the skin of the people here is quite dark.

"Can you still grow rice here?" Zhang Zhihui was a little surprised to see the rice beside the road.He hadn't seen rice since he entered Qi City, and he didn't expect there to be one here.

"It can't be grown in other places. If there is a shortage of water, we can grow wheat or corn. There is a Yingshan Lake in this mountain. The lake is in the mountain. Every year, the snow-melted lake water flows out of the mountain in several streams. The water is enough to grow some rice. The land where rice is grown is our village and nearby Sunjiatun. The taste of the rice is particularly good. I don’t know if it’s because of the water in the lake. The rice matures [-] days earlier than other places, just to avoid the first snow. Even if there are other places The water can’t grow because of the cold weather. When we get home, uncle can eat the rice we planted ourselves. Look, that’s our village. This is Sunjiatun.” Er Fatty explained to them and pointed them out .

"This place is so beautiful." They got off the car from the backing, and Dazhu hired a carriage again. It was the first time to ride a carriage. Aunt and Sister Yunduo were very novel. They didn't forget to bring an umbrella when they went out. Covering my head and looking around, the fatigue of driving for several hours seems to have disappeared, and there is greenery everywhere, with a hint of warm wind blowing, very comfortable.

"That's right, our place is remote, and we didn't choose our forest farm. Now we go to the south and it's bare. Our mountain forest is not damaged at all. I heard that some places over there have become deserts, and there is no place for grazing. Go." Dazhu said proudly.He has been trained as a forest ranger for more than two months, but he knows a lot of things.I also know how well protected the forests on their side are.Compared to other places, it's almost authentic here.

After speaking, the carriage entered the village, Dazhu let the carriage pass through the outside road, and did not leave the village.

"Uncle, that's our home." Erwa became excited when she saw her home, and stood on the carriage and pointed it out to them.

Zhang Zhihui's family listened and looked over. It was a yard almost surrounded by mountains.There are mountains on the west side of the yard and the back of the yard. Many trees are planted around the yard. Now in summer, the trees are shaded and shadowy.A stream flows out of the mountain, separating the yard from other houses in the village, and a small bridge flows over the houses.

Before the carriage crossed the stone bridge, several people greeted them from the gate.

"Third uncle and third aunt. Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, sixth aunt."

"But I'm back. Come to me to see Sanwa. She's lost weight." The third aunt took Sanwa from Yuxi's hands without caring about anything else.The circles under her eyes turned red when she saw it. Before Yuxi called and said that Sanwa had undergone an operation, her heart was hanging, and now she finally saw it.

"You are a brother of the Zhang family, right?" The third uncle went up to meet Zhang Zhihui.

"I am, brother?"

"Farewell bro, how old are you when I'm 38 this year?"

Zhang Zhihui smiled, "Then I'm older than you, I'm forty this year."

"Hehe, we rural people look old. Unlike you city people, we look young."

"This is the fourth child in our family, and this is the sixth child. Yuxi's father is one year older than me." In fact, Lin Tai's age is not allowed. According to the time when he was picked up, he is the third child, but he is the same as Lin Tai. The second is about the same. He got married late at the beginning, like the third uncle who married his wife at the age of 19. Yuxi is much fatter than Dazhu Er, and his mother is four years younger than his father.

"Stop standing there, let brother Zhang and sister-in-law come in to wash your face and eat. This is my niece, she looks really handsome." The third aunt greeted people to enter the house with the third baby in her arms, and grabbed Yun Duo's hand, boasting, In her heart, someone like Yunduo is the most beautiful. "How old are you, do you have a date?" Yunduo blushed as soon as she said this.

"I'm sixteen, and I'm still in school." Zhao Lihua said with a smile.

"You see, I still think you are the same as us, ha ha." The third aunt smiled heartily. Now she is thinking about her son's partner, and when she sees such an old girl, she wants to ask.I forgot that so many girls in the city go to school.

Zhang Zhihui entered the courtyard, looked at the four large tile-roofed houses facing south, and the neat and tidy courtyard, thinking that if his sister and brother-in-law were alive and had three children, they would be very happy this day.

"Your uncle and I heard that you would not be able to come back for a while, so we planted corn and soybeans in the west yard, and green radishes in the back garden. We didn't grow any other vegetables. Anyway, we planted a lot in our yard. It’s fine to pick it from my place. The miso is in the vat, and it’s good this year. You’ll know when you eat it later, and you haven’t returned milk from the sheep at home. gave birth."

Zhao Lihua was a little dumbfounded watching the third aunt talking about these messy things at home to Yuxi, and Yuxi was still nodding and listening seriously.She even said that the sheep should give birth to lambs, but she couldn't accept it.Even though she thinks that Yuxi is a sensible child who can take care of others, she still treats Yuxi as a child, but now she feels that is not the case.It is obvious that his aunt treats him as an adult.

"It's really troublesome for you and third uncle. There is already a lot of work in the field, and I'm still busy with me."

"What are you busy with? Most of them are made by Er Fatty and our Dazhu."

A group of people entered the house.The doors and windows of the house are all open. Once you enter the east house, there is a large mirror hanging on the top of the box cover opposite the door. On both sides of the big mirror are hanging slightly smaller photo frames. Inside are the photos of Yuxi’s family. They all go to the photo studio to take pictures. , most are formal.

Zhang Zhihui saw this big photo frame at a glance. On the side next to the kang, there was a four-inch family portrait in the middle.A family of five sat on a sofa, the parents sat in the middle, Yuxi sat on the mother's side, Erwa sat on the armrest on the father's side, and the mother held a baby in her arms.Looking at the familiar face in the photo, Zhang Zhihui couldn't control his emotions.

Everyone in the room was a little silent.

Zhao Lihua walked over, supported his arm, and looked at the smiling face of her sister-in-law in the photo, "My sister is living a very happy life."

Zhang Zhihui sniffed to suppress the sourness.Looking at his sister's smiling face in the photo, he had to admit that her smile was very happy.This big photo frame is almost full of group photos of family portraits.From the top black and white wedding photo of two people, to the photo of three people hugging Yuxi, and the photo of four people, the sister in every photo is very beautiful.There are also many group photos of sister and brother-in-law.In rural areas like theirs, there are not many photos taken a year, and couples rarely take photos, but there are many in their family.There are even a few photos of the two of them in the mountains and forests, which were taken by Lin Tai himself with the camera he rented.

The other photo frame is almost the growth photos of several children, almost every child has different periods.

"Every year my dad would take us to Jishang photo studio to take pictures. Because he didn't have that condition when he married my mother, he only took such a wedding photo, which was a bit regrettable, so the whole family went to Jishang to take one. "

"Their family has the most photos." Uncle San said.Everyone in the village knows that Lin Tai takes his wife and children to Jishang and often goes to the photo studio.Most willing to spend money.

"Show me the album later." Zhang Zhihui said.

Yuxi nodded, and glanced at the family photo, but unfortunately they only took this photo once.
