[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

Along the familiar bluestone road with different heights, I walked for a while and rested for a while, and finally saw the uncle’s house. Before I reached the gate of the courtyard, a big yellow dog ran over barking and demonstrated from a distance. Reluctantly, he stopped, put the heavy things on the ground, and took the opportunity to catch his breath.

The uncle called: "Rhubarb!"

Da Huang wagged his tail and went over to rub his trousers, Eleven called "Uncle", the uncle nodded, seeing his sweaty face, came over to help him carry things and walked into the yard first.

Grandpa is chopping pigweed, his back is slightly hunched, his freshly shaved head is very familiar, Eleven's eye sockets are slightly hot, he hurriedly walked over and squatted next to grandpa, grandpa's ears have been deaf for a long time, unless loud Shout, or he cannot hear you.

Grandpa laughed when he saw Eleven.

General Eleven opened the candy bag and peeled a piece of candy for Grandpa. Grandpa’s teeth had long since fallen out, and with candy in his shriveled mouth, he touched Eleven’s head with a smile and said vaguely, “Is your throat okay?” Fearing that Eleven would not understand, he pointed to his own throat.

"It's cured!" Eleven said loudly in his ear: "Grandpa, my mother and my younger brother are back, at the second uncle's place, you and uncle went to drink!"

Grandpa nodded, put down his work, went into the house and put on his clothes, the weather was a little hot, he was shirtless, only wearing a pair of big pants, followed him on eleventh, took out the money in his pocket and put it in his hand Here, a stack of 2000 yuan.Other juniors will also give money and gifts to grandpa on their birthdays and New Years. Before Eleventh, it was only handed over by Toding Aili. Grandpa knew how to read. He took out a piece of paper and showed it to grandpa. It said: "You take it, don't let People know."

Grandpa puts on his clothes and goes out with a cattail leaf fan. My aunt is not at home now. My uncle said that I have gone up the mountain. In the village, the head of the family is usually invited to drink. Others will not go. Uncle's house.

Ding Aili made some food for grandma by herself, and served it after feeding her. Tao Yuanhang took out the white wine and beer he had brought back, and drank a few glasses with his uncles.

When my uncle heard that they were going to rebuild the house, he kept saying yes. As for how he was envious, that was another matter. At the dinner table, he gave Ding Aili advice on how to demolish the old house, how much brick and cement to buy, and how much to hire. people……

Although every family uses a cauldron to receive TV signals, and the night life is also richer, but most rural people have work during the day, so they don’t go to bed too late. Things about the children, things about the weather, go to their own homes.

Eleven and Tao Yuanhang were huddled together on the same bed. Tao Yuanhang saved a lot of novels in his mobile phone, and he would hold his mobile phone wherever he went. Let me tell you, it's just that this person has already reached home in cultivation, and if you let the wind blow from east to west, I will stand still.

Eleven sat on the head of the bed, with a thick book on his lap, and wrote letters to Yan Changnian under the dim light. It is inconvenient to go in and out of the space now, but after the letter is written, you can send it directly into the space with your spiritual thoughts. Compared with sending text messages on your mobile phone, it not only saves money, but also makes Shi Shi feel like writing a love letter. He never did this kind of thing before, but now he is getting irritated in his old age. He wrote today's events on the letter paper like writing a composition, and at the end he carefully filled in: Tao Shishishu.

Put the book and letter paper and pen into the backpack, and the letter was also sent into Dongli's space at the same time.

The temperature in the mountains is several degrees lower than that in the city, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. Finally, I was able to sleep well on the [-]th day. The tiny misty cyclone is like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished with a slight blow.

He said he wanted to rebuild the house, but he didn't just do it. On November [-], he went to the elder sister's house in the next county as planned, and his nephew celebrated his birthday. As an uncle, he has never seen his nephew yet.The eldest sister is doing well. She has a son and runs a small shop at home. Her husband drives a taxi in that county, and her monthly income is good. The parents-in-law treat the eldest sister well. It is enviable to marry well.

When I went there, I took my things with me as usual, except for the one I brought back from S city, I also bought a Transformers toy in the county seat. I hadn’t played with this thing when I was eleven. I guess boys like it. My nephew looks like a tiger. I am more sensible, and I will automatically take stools and pour water for them when I enter the door, and say thank you when I receive the gift.

Ding Aili also liked this grandson very much, and asked a lot of questions, and the child answered obediently, but didn't take the money when she gave him. Looking at his parents, she didn't take it until the eleventh sister nodded, and said thank you again .

On the eleventh, I went to a nearby cake shop and ordered an 18-inch cake. The eldest sister was uneasy, saying that there is no precedent for buying a cake for a child who is so old for his birthday. Don't spoil the child.

Eleven said: "Junhui is cute and sensible, I really like him."

The brother-in-law smiled and said, "Since I like children so much, I want one myself when I get married earlier." The conditions were not good on the eleventh day before, but this time it seems that I have made money when I come back, so I don't have to be afraid of embarrassment when I say this.

Ding Aili has been worrying about her sons' marriage, and she couldn't reach her when Eleven came back. Now that she is by her side, she also has the same thoughts. However, there are a lot of things about rebuilding the house, and Eleven's body has not healed, and she is not in a hurry. A few prevarications.

After leaving the eldest sister’s house, I went directly to my grandma’s house. The traffic is much better now than before. There are cars in the town that go directly to my grandma’s village. Except for eleven people, all of them have big bags and small bags. Someone in the same car asked with a smile: “Is it better to visit relatives or not?” go home?"

Ding Aili chatted with him.On Eleventh, I heard a lot of information about my hometown. Dams were built on the upper and lower reaches of the river that destroys crops and houses every year. What kind of mine, the owner rents land to develop, how much money is paid per mu of land, many families have become rich; in some village, the owner opened a factory, and the big chimney discharges thick smoke into the sky every day, and the sky turns dark...

My grandma's house is at the foot of the mountain in the innermost part of their village. My grandpa passed away a few years ago, and there are only three people living in the house.

My grandma suffered from cataracts. She was dazzled when she was still in high school on Shishi. She always thought that she was old and had presbyopia. The rural people were poor. She never thought about going to the hospital. She dragged on and eventually lost her sight.

My uncle also got married very late, and he still lives with his grandparents after marriage. He has a son who is only 18 years old. He is studying in a technical secondary school and will be graduating next year.Because I have to take care of my grandma, my uncle can’t go out to work like other people. He farms and farms every year. There is not much money, and the house built when grandma and grandpa got married is already old, and they have to wait two years to rebuild the house.

Grandma was very happy with their arrival. Even though she couldn’t see her, she wanted to grope into the kitchen and bring them freshly cooked sweet potatoes. Ding Aili held her arm and made her sit down. The sweet potatoes came out, the sweet potatoes were stuffy in the pot, still hot, soft and sweet, I ate two in a row.

Grandma's ears are not very good, and she can't see well. She can't even guess what everyone says. She frequently mentions that when they were young, they would go all the way to grandma's house for the weekend when they were young. Many things have been forgotten by Eleven. , but she still remembered it clearly. After sitting for a while, Eleven proposed to go to the vegetable garden to look at the carambola trees.

When they were young, they loved to come to grandma’s house. There were many fruit trees in grandma’s house, especially the carambola trees, which were so tall that they covered most of the sunlight in the yard. When the carambola was ripe, they used bamboo poles to poke the carambola down, or put the small carambola trees on the ground to catch fish. The handle of the net bag is connected to the bamboo pole, covering the yellow and ripe star fruit, and when you pull it skillfully in the right direction, the star fruit will fall into the net bag, pick it up and wash it with water, it is best to quench your thirst.

There are also bananas, pink bananas, lychees, longan, loquat, mango, pomelo, yellow skin, etc. Yellow skin is a finger-sized fruit that is green when immature and turns yellow when ripe, sweet and sour. , Eating too much is easy to sour teeth.

There are also tall star anise trees. Once the star anise matures, the air is filled with the unique fragrance of star anise.The sweet bamboo shoots with a diameter of [-] to [-] centimeters, sliced, blanched, or freshly fried with meat or pickled into sour bamboo shoots are all very delicious.

Eleven told my grandma that they wanted to dig some fruit seedlings and plant them at home. After they built the house, they also planted some banana trees and loquat trees in front of and behind the house. There will be food in a few years.This is not the best season for planting trees. Besides, it has been raining a lot these days. Eleven insisted on digging, and everyone did not stop him. There is nothing interesting in the countryside, so it is time to kill time.

Eleven carried a hoe and a shovel to drill into the fruit forest, and took a broken plastic bucket to store the dug fruit trees. When he was going out, his grandma specially said that it is best to have some soil on the roots when digging , a good job.

In fact, Eleven had the idea of ​​keeping the old warehouse in the dark, digging three trees and putting two in the Dongli space. Every year, most of the fruits that fall on the ground from the fruit trees will take root and germinate on their own, and many of them are pulled out, but there are always a few that are missed. Once the orchard was dug, there was a hole in the east and a hole in the west. Some holes were dug out and the holes were filled.

The trees on the mountain are verdant, and there are no people in sight. Occasionally, squirrels can be seen jumping around on the trees. They are not very afraid of people. They will stand on the trees and look at people with their small heads, and then slip away immediately if there is any trouble.

Or a big bird flutters out of the grass, spreads its wings and flies around the valley twice, before throwing itself back into the grass.Sometimes there is a bird's nest where they fly, but obviously Eleven's luck is not very good, it's just a wild bird looking for food.

It took him an hour to dig out a sweet bamboo root, and the soil and bamboo roots weighed more than a hundred catties. Fortunately, he didn't have to carry it. After cutting off the excess roots with a hoe, he teleported directly to the Dongli space, and put them on the ground again. The soil dug up next to it was filled back, and I was already sweating profusely after work, so I found a dense grass nearby to sit on and breathe.

Looking from where I was, I could see someone in the valley pouring water into the paddy fields. There was a lot of rain, and the water in the paddy fields was about to overflow. The seedlings planted one after another only showed a section of leaves that were as long as a finger. I am afraid that most of the chemical fertilizers will be taken away by the water.

He put the letter paper under the message board last night, and Yan Changnian took it away, and replaced it with the letter paper that Yan Changnian usually used. Compared with the cheap letter paper bought on November, the paper is much thicker and smoother. Busy, there are only two paragraphs above, saying that the company has a small situation recently and will be a little busy, so let him take care of himself and call directly if he has something to do.

Eleven pinched the piece of paper and read it several times, lying on his back on the grass, the sun was glaring, he covered his face with the paper to shield him from the sun, the smell of the paper penetrated into his nostrils, the fragrance of the paper itself , and the smell of Yan Changnian, he breathed cautiously like a demon, as if he wanted to remember that smell deeply.

There are few people on the mountain, so Eleven found a relatively hidden place, where all kinds of shrubs and weeds grow densely, people hide in it, even if they take a step away and don’t look carefully, they can’t find it, so they can safely enter Dongli space.

Plant those fruit trees on the hillside not far from the prefabricated house. There are also a few scattered trees there. Eleven doesn’t recognize the species, but there is a small spring there, which is convenient for watering the fruit trees in the future. The soil is very fertile, the black kind, the soil is moist, and the water is relatively high. Planting fruit trees should be easy to survive. Besides, it seems that there are no four seasons in the Dongli space, and the temperature is neither high nor low, which is very suitable for plant growth.

Fearing that the family members would be anxious, Eleven randomly planted fruit trees and went back.
