The neighbor is my little daughter-in-law

The Chinese New Year in that era was not like the Chinese New Year now. The doors of every house were closed, and the excitement belonged only to their own homes. At that time, especially in the countryside, every household opened their doors to welcome the God of Wealth. The children in the village carried orange peels to make The little lanterns run wildly in groups, and when they are hungry, they can run into anyone's house and come out with a round stomach.

Xu Zhen and Lu Yan’s lanterns were made by Grandpa Xu. They used round pumpkins to remove the top, hollowed out the inside, and cut out two eyes and a row of fangs on the outside to make them look like witches. A candle was lit inside. Fix it with a rope and a bamboo stick, and the faint yellow light shines through the hole, illuminating two smiling and festive faces.

Grandma Xu used the small stove in the house to fry meatballs, and fed them to each of the two brothers. She smiled and said to Mother Xu, "Your father will make trouble for things. If you don't eat good pumpkins, make lanterns, and spoil your children so much." ground.

Grandpa Xu said with a good temper that it is rare for the children to be happy during the Chinese New Year, and it is not a waste of things, the pumpkin meat dug out can still be eaten.

After a while, the two children had already run away hand in hand. Xiao Lu Yan wore a lot of clothes, and Xu's mother forced her to wear Lu Yan's white down jacket outside the leather jacket.

Because Xu Zhen doesn't have the same down jacket, the child is still reluctant to wear it, and he is unhappy with his mouth.

Xu's mother pinched his mouth: "You are not very old, you can still lose your temper, and your small mouth can hang on the oil bottle."

Xu Zhen pulled down the zipper of the child's down jacket a little, revealing the exact same leather jacket collar as his, and the child was barely satisfied.

Running behind Xu Zhen staggeringly, like a little penguin just out of its eggshell.

Lu Yan led by Xu Zhen didn't play with the children, but went door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings. After the greetings, Xiao Lu Yan pulled behind him and introduced with a serious face: "Master Zhang, this is our family's Yanyan, my younger brother. If he gets lost, if you see him, bring it back to me."

"Uncle Chen, this is my younger brother Lu Yan. If there is anything he needs in the future, just ask me."

"Third aunt, this is my younger brother, dear!"

"Uncle Erga, just look at it, don't touch it."

Xu Zhen introduced the little guy and his cooperating brother at the front, and he raised his face in the back for people to see. If someone said: "Hey, look, the noses of these two guys really look alike." He would Just be happy.Ask Xu Zhen to help him take off the down jacket, and pull people to see his leather jacket that is exactly the same as Xu Zhen.

Said in a childish voice, "Same as my brother."

Xu Zhen spent one night telling the villagers about the new members of their family, Xiao Luyan spent one night letting everyone know that he had a leather jacket exactly like Xu Zhen's.

It seems that this can show that the two are brothers.

In the middle of the night, Xu Zhen and Lu Yan were brought back by Xu's father. Xu Zhen was a bit pity that the second great-grandfather's house in the east of the village hadn't been there yet. Don't go out often.

The next day someone came to pay grandma Xu a new year's greeting, and when they talked about the good deeds these two brothers had done, they couldn't help laughing.

At twelve o'clock, Grandpa Xu took his family to offer incense to the ancestors, and then sat down on the chair next to him. Xu Zhen knelt down straight behind Father Xu and kowtowed to grandpa: "Grandpa, grandma, your grandson Xu Zhen wishes the two elders good health, a long life, and happiness every day."

Grandpa Xu smiled from ear to ear, and handed Xu Zhen a thick red envelope: "Well, well, well, we will all live to be a hundred years old in good health and happily."

Xiao Luyan didn't need anyone to teach him, he knelt down beside him, kowtowed like Xu Zhen, and talked like Xu Zhen: "Grandpa, grandma, our grandson Yanyan wishes the two elders good health... .um...um..." The little guy couldn't remember so many words at once.I had to tilt my head to look at my brother.

Xu Zhen acted as a teleprompter: "Live a long life and be happy every day."

The elder brother taught a sentence, and the child learned it. After finishing speaking, the child looked at the big red envelope in Xu Zhen's hand with bright eyes.

He doesn't really understand the value of money, but he wants exactly the same thing as his brother.

The child didn't think much of it, but it stunned the adults in the room.Grandma Xu was the first to react, and quickly opened another red envelope and stuffed a thick wad of money into it, giving it to Xiao Luyan.

Grandpa Xu picked up the child: "Oh, baby, you don't need to kowtow to Grandpa."

No matter what happens in the future, and no matter whether he is from the Xu family or not, at least at this moment Lu Yan really regards himself as a descendant of the Xu family.Then the grandparents of the Xu family can't be treated differently.

Xiao Luyan was holding the same big red envelope as her elder brother, and she couldn't see her teeth smiling.

Grandpa Xu pinched the child's face: "This is also a little ghost."

After all, the child is small, and not long after twelve o'clock, he was sleepy in Xu Zhen's arms and yawned one after another, with Xu's father and Xu mother accompanying Grandma Xu

After speaking, Grandma Xu glanced at the two brothers: "Children can't stay up late, frame frame, you take your brother to bed first."

"Grandma put new clothes on the radiator for you, remember to put them on tomorrow morning." Grandma Xu reminded.

After taking off his clothes, Xu Zhen saw that Xiao Luyan's chest was bruised, and there were marks of being beaten on his thigh.

Xu Zhen became angry all of a sudden, what's going on?Who did it?How dare he bully his brother.

Xiao Luyan touched his chest and asked his brother to brag about it. Xu Zhen didn't ask, he had already forgotten about it. When his brother asked, the child suddenly remembered, and complained with a pouted mouth: "Damn Yanyan, several people Beat Yanyan, they don't like Yanyan, Yanyan doesn't like them, Yanyan likes her brother the most." The child sued in confusion.Sternly pointing fingers at the bully, this was taught by Xu Zhen, don't beat him if he can't beat him, remember who beat him and come back and tell his brother.

After complaining, the child threw himself into Xu Zhen's arms.

Xu Zhen lay in bed with the naked child in his arms, kissed the bruised place on his chest distressedly, and secretly wrote down the feud.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!You wait.

Mr. Lu arrived in Jialing Town in the afternoon of the third day of junior high school. He was thinking about his little grandson, so he pushed for a not-so-important dinner party and brought the driver to come in person.As soon as I entered the village, I saw the little grandson next to the big tree and a bigger little boy. It snowed heavily in Jialing Town on the first night of the new year. The snow covered the village in white. How is the road condition, dare not enter easily.

The old man asked the driver to stop the car at the entrance of the village, and walked in by himself. As soon as he got closer, he heard the little grandson being scolded: "It's not that you are not allowed to go, why are you disobedient?"

At that time, sparrows were not a protected bird. Some adults would use sticky nets to stick these little birds back to fry or burn them for children to eat when they were free in winter. Older children would also go to the field when they were free. Look for stuck birds, and find an open space to grill them over a fire.Although even the hair is not clean with blood, it may not be too familiar or too familiar, but this is the fun of childhood, and the children do not eat it for this bite. More than a dozen children gathered together, a small The sparrow is only enough for a small bite per person, and when the children have more, they may only be able to suck the taste.But no one thinks it is too little. After a bird is eaten, a group of children flock to look for it again, never tired of it.

Yesterday Xu Zhen's aunt came to Xu's house as a guest, holding Xu Zhen's hand and not allowing him to ask questions, Xu Zhen patiently answered the aunt's questions, and when he turned around, Xiao Luyan was gone, Xu Zhen was so frightened that his soul flew away up.

Father Xu has been standing at the door looking at little Lu Yan, pointing to the middle of the empty field, Xu Zhen saw the child squatting on the small black mouth with bright eyes, the child is holding a fingernail-sized piece of black Seeing his brother coming, the lacquered thing threw himself into his arms, and stuffed the dark thing in his heart into Xu Zhen's mouth: "Brother, it's delicious!"

The bird feathers in his mouth were mixed with the smell of scorched meat, Xu Zhen wanted to vomit, seeing the child gulping down his saliva and reluctant to eat the sample for him, Xu Zhen stretched his neck and swallowed forcefully, boasting against his will : "It's delicious, thank you Yanyan!"

Ever since he was praised by Xu Zhen, Xiao Luyan seemed to be addicted to it. Every day, he followed this group of older children in the snow and field, and even if he got a little bit of bird meat, he would gallop over on his short legs: "Brother, eat!"

Xu Zhen refused to let him go, the child promised well, and when he turned around, he was gone.He trotted slowly, fell into the snow nest several times, was dug out, his little hands and feet were freezing cold.

Father Xu felt distressed seeing the child swallowing his saliva incessantly, but he dared not give the child such unfamiliar food.Xu's father finally let go when the two children were about to leave. After lunch, he went to dig ice for winter fishing.

Xu Zhen prepared his and Lu Yan's things, but when he turned around, the little thing disappeared again.

Xu Zhen's teeth itched with hatred, and the sky was turned upside down. This little thing won't have a long memory if he doesn't beat him up.I have learned both obedience and transgression.

This time Xu Zhen dug people out of the snow nest again, this time it was even more excessive, he lost one of his shoes, touched his little hands and feet, and it was like popsicles again, Xu Zhen took the child's soaked socks with a sullen face He took it off, unbuttoned the cotton-padded jacket, and put the pair of human popsicles on his chest to keep warm.Xu Zhen, whose cold feet were frozen, shivered uncontrollably.

The child also knew that he had made a mistake, so he pouted and leaned over to kiss Xu Zhen's face, kissing Xu Zhen softly and apologizing: "Wrong-provoke!"

After a few strokes, Xu Zhen's stern face was softened, he wrapped the child in a cotton coat, hugged him and bumped his forehead: "If you make a mistake, you will pretend to be pitiful, and you will not be able to kiss again You will be stripped and spanked, remember?"

The children belonged to the group who admitted their mistakes quickly, but refused to change after repeated admonitions. They hugged their elder brother's neck and shouted affectionately: "Remember to provoke!"

Xu's mother took little Lu Yan out of her son's arms with a big padded jacket, patted his ass lightly, and scolded: "You've caused trouble again, haven't you?"

Xiao Luyan slammed into Xu's mother's arms and laughed.

Xu's mother threatened: "If you are disobedient in the future, we will not take you anywhere, and leave you alone at home to play with Dahuang."

Xiao Luyan put her arms around Xu's mother's neck and acted like a baby: "Yanyan is obedient, take Yanyan with you."

Grandma Xu came out with a pair of newly made tiger-toe shoes, and said with a smile: "If you don't take us Yanyan, why don't Yanyan stay at home and play with grandma?"

Xiao Luyan shook his head and said loudly: "No, play with mom!"

After thinking about it, I probably felt that it was not good to say this, so I leaned over and kissed Grandma Xu on the face, and added: "Yanyan will play with grandma again when you come back!"

Grandma Xu changed the hot little tiger-toed shoes for the child, changed into a clean down jacket, and picked up the dirty clothes and shoes: "You little ghost, grandma will make red bean pancakes for our little one tonight." .”

Mother Xu took two steps, then turned around and shouted, "Mom, don't move those things, I'll wash them when I come back."

Xiao Luyan then shouted: "Grandma, Yanyan's red bean pancakes!"

Xu Zhen took the child's earbags and cotton gloves and chased after Xu's mother, shouting: "If you don't listen to brother, you have nothing."

Father Xu came out with the fishing rod on his shoulders, picked up little Lu Yan with one hand, let him sit on his shoulder, and beckoned for the troops to follow: "Let's go, go fishing!"

Xiao Luyan smiled "haha" and grabbed Papa Xu's shoulder.

Mr. Lu didn't come forward to say hello, but stood quietly not far away and watched the family interact with each other. His eyes were complicated. This is his own grandson. In the Lu family, he was excluded by children and disgusted by adults, but here he is regarded as a The little baby is in pain, and three generations of grandparents have spoiled such a child.

Little Lu Yan, who was missing in the Lu family, got it in this bloodless family. No wonder the child didn’t speak in the Lu family. No wonder the child blurted out the name of Xu’s parents when the police asked what your parents’ names were. Name, because in the hearts of children, this is home, they are a family...

It's the place where he wanted to come back even if he was greedy for the dark...

Grandpa Xu watched their family of four walk away, and then helped Grandma Xu turn around and walk back: "Let's go, go make red bean cakes for the children..."

Mr. Lu stepped forward with a smile: "Brother..."
