Travel through ancient times to discuss life

This is a typical northern rural house. There are four houses connected together in a row. The front and back of the house are surrounded by a large area. The front yard is divided into two parts, and one side is their own vegetable field. The other side was empty, and there was a path paved with stones in the middle. Xia Tian carefully helped the old man walk along the path through the big yard, and took the opportunity to test him with his abilities.Well, the body is good, very tough.

The old man walked slowly, and the tiger was bouncing around. After a while, he pulled down the two of them. He stopped in front of the middle room and shouted to them: "Grandpa, uncle, you are walking too slowly!" It's not as fast as me, my father is faster than me." With a smile, now he doesn't remember the grudge that Xia Tian ignored him before.After shouting, he jumped around outside the door and waited for them without going in.

Huzi was jumping there happily, the door was opened suddenly, only heard "ah", Huzi bumped into the basket next to him and knocked over the basket, but that sound was not from Huzi , but a woman coming out of the house.She quickly helped Huzi up, looked up and down and patted him a few times, and said loudly: "Huzi, what are you wandering around the door? Let's see if you improve your memory next time!"

The old man was quite calm, and he walked there slowly, just as the woman finished speaking, they also came to the front, and the woman ignored him when she saw that the tiger didn't fall, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, hurry up!" Come in, grandma is waiting." The words were addressed to the old man, but his eyes always turned to Xia Tian, ​​and Xia Tian also took the opportunity to look at her a few times. Although she is a girl from a farmer's family, her skin is not dark on the contrary. She is white, wearing pink clothes, her hair is combed up high, and there is a flower on each side. In addition, she is also young, she looks about fourteen or five years old, which is very eye-catching.Seeing her looking at him, Xia Tian thought she was going to greet him, so he smiled at her, but she suddenly blushed, and turned her head to the other side in disgust.Here, Xia Tian felt baffled, and didn't know why he suddenly turned his face. Over there, Han Ling cursed in her heart: looking at a gentle person, looking directly at a big girl, and even flirting, how shameless.

Pressing what the two of them thought, the three of them entered the house, and Hu Zi followed behind like a tail.As soon as you enter the house, you will find an earthen kang on the opposite side, covered with mats and thick quilts. An elderly lady is leaning inside surrounded by quilts, and a woman in her 40s sits next to her. There were two younger women standing, and Huzi acted like a baby to one of the young women in blue clothes, "Mom, when are we going to eat, I'm hungry", he said while hugging the woman's legs and spinning around.Hu Ziniang softly comforted him, saying that dinner will be served in a while, and the young woman in flowered clothes on the other side moved a stool for Xia Tian to let him sit.The old man who brought Xia Tian in had already got on the kang, sitting cross-legged on the other side, while the girl who disliked Xia Tian just now was whispering to another young woman in calico.As soon as Xia Tian took a rough look at these people, he heard the old lady say to him excitedly: "Your father's name is Han Youtian, right? He's from our Hanjiatun?"

The matter has come to this point, Xia Tian can't deny it anymore and can only answer yes, the old lady asked him excitedly when he said yes, "Then what about your father, why didn't Arita come back?" As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the door knock, and when he looked back, it turned out that Han Ping had entered the room.Han Ping didn't talk much to his family, so he called his mother, grandpa and grandma, and sat next to Hu Zi in silence.The old man responded, but the old lady didn't bother to reply, she kept looking at Xia Tian eagerly, Xia Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Originally, father and mother came back with us, but we encountered a plague on the way. , I didn’t make it through..." Before I finished speaking, I heard the woman sitting next to the old lady shout: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you!" When the anger was gone, all the people in the room crowded towards the old lady, Xia Tian's ears were filled with the cries of several women crying, and the sound of the tiger crying out of fright.

Just as he was about to go up to have a look, he heard the old man sternly scold: "What are you shouting for! Go to the back!" As he said that, he saw his red eyes, pinching the old lady hard, and after a while, the old lady leisurely He woke up and turned around, his eye circles were also red, and he couldn't stop crying when he woke up, and complained while crying: "Don't let him go out, don't let him go out, you have to be disobedient, and run out by yourself, in the end He didn't come back to look at us, my son, my son..." The old man supported her trembling shoulders, also from sadness, with tears in his eyes.Seeing them like this, several women went up to comfort them one after another, and Han Ping also dryly said a few words of comfort, but Xia Tian and Hu Zi were a little at a loss, so they didn't go forward.

After a long time, the two old people calmed down. The old lady said to Xia Tian: "Come on, child, sit in front of me. What's your name?" The woman next to her quickly stepped aside and pulled Xia Tian into the Beside the old lady.Xia Tian lowered his head and replied, "My name is Han Xia."

"Oh, it's Han Xia." The old lady took Xia Tian's hand and asked again: "Then your father, did you leave anything?" Said in a low voice: "My father knew that he was going to die soon, so he wrote a letter to the family, which contained the reason why he couldn't go home, and also gave me the longevity lock he had always carried with him, and asked me to come and find the man here. loved ones."

As he spoke, he pretended to pull out his sleeves, and took out the letter from the space, "This is the one."

The old lady quickly took the letter and gave it to the old man. The old man seemed to be able to read. He opened the envelope and looked at it for a while, then said: "This is indeed a letter written by Arita." Then he asked Xia Tian: "What about the longevity lock?" Well, take it out and let me have a look, so it can fulfill the thoughts of our old couple in recent years."

Xia Tian secretly pinched himself, forced a few tears to come out, choked up and said: "Originally I had an older brother named Han Li, and the Longevity Lock was with him. We were not allowed to leave, so we had to wait. Unexpectedly, my elder brother Jing also contracted a disease, and he couldn’t make it through in the end, so I set up a tomb for my elder brother and buried the longevity lock with him. However, I’m afraid that when the time comes It’s hard to recognize people, so I described them according to their appearance.”

As he said that, he took out another piece of paper, on which was drawn the same longevity lock that Han Li had at that time.In fact, it was thanks to Xia Tian who was cautious. When Han Li mentioned the Longevity Lock, he instinctively thought it was something very important, but Han Li specified what he wanted, and Xia Tian couldn't keep silent, so he copied a painting , although it is not detailed, at least all the features are drawn, and it took him a lot of effort. There are several sheets of paper from other people's inns. Hearing what he said, the faces of the old man and the old lady added a little more sadness, The old man took the paper and looked at it again, and said: "That's right, I wrote a letter to your father when your brother was about to be born, and gave the name to him, and the boy was called Han Li. This lock is also right. Ah, it was made by the silversmith Tetel we found, and it is different from others." Then, the eyes of the old man began to turn red again, and he held Xia Tian's other hand and said: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you, the family I will keep you alone, don't worry, since we are all back home, we will definitely not ignore you, even if your uncle, elder brother and sister-in-law ignore you, as well as me and your grandma, we will definitely not let you be wronged." Listen When the old man said that, the young woman in flowered clothes hurriedly said: "How can we help? We will help if we can. We are all a family, so we have to help each other, right, Tweety." Niang also said: "That's right, it's not easy to come here alone, how can we let go of it."

"That's good, the whole family needs you to help me, I'll help you." Hearing what they said, the old man nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Pingzi, go back and see if your father and Anzi are back? They will come to my place for dinner tonight, so that Han Xia can recognize them." Han Ping responded, and after a few more instructions with Hu Ziniang, he went out.

At this time, the old lady was much better, so she arranged for the juniors to cook, "Han Ping's family, you go and cook dinner with me. Lingzi, go and pick some vegetables." Several people responded one after another. , got up and was about to leave the house, the [-]-year-old girl said: "Grandma, I went to dig a lot of shepherd's purse yesterday, and it was very tender. I washed it together and made dumplings with the piece of meat at home." Xia Tian Only then did I know that this fierce little girl was called Reiko.The old lady seemed very satisfied with her, and said with a smile: "It's Lingzi's plan, let's go wash it, let's have dumplings tonight." Seeing them go out, Xia Tian quickly stood up, and the mother of the tiger threw him again. Press it down, and said: "Xiao Xia, sit down, chat with grandpa, let's cook, and chat with you later when we eat." Xia Tian had no choice but to say: "Then I will trouble you." "What's the trouble, We are all family, why are you being polite. Don’t follow your mother, Huzi, and stay with your great-grandpa and uncle,” Huayi said with a smile, and they left the room after talking.

So, there were only Xia Tian, ​​the old man and Hu Zi left in the house, the three of them, Xia Tian still couldn't get used to it, and felt a little awkward.
