The 367th chapter four rivers (2)
When I walked to the valley, there were already many people watching the fun.
The rural slack time in the northeast is particularly long. From the end of October to the beginning of May of the following year, I am basically idle and have nothing to do.
At this time, mahjong had not been passed, and no one had much money to play poker, so they couldn't gamble. Usually, they just gathered together to chat, boil some boiling water, and everyone sat and talked, occasionally went up the mountain to hunt something, and no one went out to make money, and there was no place to earn.
Three drivers stood by the car, and a group of people gathered around from afar.
When Zhang Xingming's family came over, the crowd became boiling, and someone shouted from afar: "San, are you back?"
"Oh, my third uncle's family is so spacious now."
Most of the people with the surname Zhang in the fort have relatives, and most of them have relatives. The father has a relatively high age. Zhang Xingming's generation is in his sixties or seventies. His grandsons are all married, so he has to be careful of his father calling him the grandfather, but he has been scattered for too long and has not been too close.
Amid the noise of everyone, Zhang Xingming and the second uncle and his family walked to the front of the car. The driver opened the car door and helped the second aunt get on the car first. Then everyone got in and sat down. My dad opened the window and said to the second uncle and brother Xinghong Xiaowei, who were standing next to him, "Then we'll leave. You don't have to worry about it here. Xiaohong hurried back to the army. Xiaowei got the house at home. If you want to come, take the car over. Be careful. Doesn't it sound?"
Brother Xinghong and Xiao Weigra agreed, and the father said to the second uncle: "I have arranged a letter to you, so I don't have to think about anything."
The second uncle nodded, and the father said, "Then let's go, second brother, Xiaohong, come back to the house."
The three cars started, slowly drove away from the valley and drove along the ice.
As soon as the car left here, the person there surrounded the second uncle and asked in a verbal manner.
The second uncle said: "My third brother is now rich. I came here to pick me up and take me to the city for treatment, and left a lot of money. Now the city is really better than our countryside."
The second uncle also worked in the city at the beginning, but at that time the city was in trouble and couldn't have enough food. Grandpa felt sorry for his second uncle, so he tried every means to bring the second uncle back to the countryside and divide the land. Only the old man whom grandpa didn't like and his father stayed in the city.
The car left the fort and started to accelerate, following the national highway to Uncle Wu's house.
Sidaohezi is a small village under the jurisdiction of Ximahu.
After his fifth uncle was discharged from the army, he settled his home here, which was actually considered a marriage alliance.
The scenery here is much more beautiful than that in Zhangjiabao. There are few pine forests on the mountain, and the mountains are full of maple and oak trees. In autumn, red and purple blue cover the mountains, reflecting on the river surface at the foot of the mountain. The scene is extremely beautiful, especially in the morning, the morning mist like gauze rises in the mountains, decorating the entire village like an oil painting.
When we were almost at Sidaohe, a long and narrow plain appeared between the mountains. The highway passed through the plain and also forked here, leading to the Wu Uncle's house and the uncle's house respectively.
When they arrived at Sidaohezi, the soldier followed his memory to command the car to get off the highway, turned into a small road, and walked up a wide river. Fortunately, he was in the car, otherwise Zhang Xingming would have been unable to explain how he knew Uncle Wu's house.
Crossing the ice surface, a row of cattle sheds were built by the river with tree trunks as thick as a forearm. Corn poles were scattered outside. The soldiers called for a stop. Three cars were next to the cattle shed. The old cows inside turned their heads and looked at them slowly, mooed, and then lowered their heads to eat hay.
Everyone got out of the car, but the second aunt was inconvenient to move, so she didn't move in the car, so Sister Xiaoying stayed in the car to accompany her.
The soldier led everyone to turn over the cowshed, walked forward for more than ten meters, and came to the front of a large yard, and said, "This is my fifth uncle's house. Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, are you at home? Uncle Wu."
The door was pushed open and Uncle Wu walked out. Uncle Wu was still very young at this time, but he had been working in the field for a long time, so naturally he had a sense of turmoil on his face.
Xiaobing said, "Uncle Fifth, my third uncle is here, open the door quickly."
Uncle Fifth was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Third? My Third Brother?" He jumped off the steps, ran to the door quickly and pulled the bolt off, opened the door, looked around the crowd, and said, "Brother Third, why are you here?"
Before my father could speak, the fifth uncle saw my mother again, was stunned for a moment, and said, "San Sister-in-law, you are here too."
My mother looked at him without saying a word.
In fact, in my mother's heart, she had much more resentment towards her fifth uncle than that of her second aunt, one was her younger brother and the other was her sister-in-law, which was a lot different.
Uncle Wu looked at his mother and moved his mouth. After a long time, he said, "San Sister-in-law, I am happier if you can come than to see my third brother. I used to be young and ignorant, so don't take it to my heart."
My mother still didn't say anything, and her eyes lowered. My father said, "Okay, let's not talk about those, how are you doing now?"
Uncle Wu ignored my father, walked a few steps towards my mother, knelt in the snow and said to her mother, "San Sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong, why don't you just chop me up like that? At that time, I was fucked and did a mess."
As soon as Uncle Wu knelt, Li Chun turned around and blocked his mother. Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand and pulled him, pulled him behind, and whispered: "It's okay, don't worry."
My father looked at Uncle Wu who was kneeling on the ground, looked at his mother, sighed, and turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance.
My mother didn't say anything, no one dared to speak, the air was like still, only the north wind blew, raising the snow chips on the wall.
As soon as the door of the yard moved, a little girl walked out wearing a pink dress, looked outside the door and shouted, "Dad, where are you?"
My mother turned her head and looked at the child of Uncle Wu's family, glanced at Uncle Wu who was kneeling in front of her, and said, "Get up, go into the house and say, what's going on?"
Uncle Wu agreed and got up. He didn't even take a photo of the snow on his knees. He said, "Go into the house, come on, third sister-in-law, third brother, hurry up into the house."
Everyone followed the yard. The little girl suddenly saw so many people coming in half, turned around and ran back.
Everyone walked to the steps in front of the room. As soon as the door opened, a woman with short hair with her ears pulled the little girl out.
Uncle Wu said to his father: "Third brother, this is my wife. Wife, this is my third brother, this is my third sister-in-law. The whole family comes to see us."
Aunt Wu stood on the steps, covered the sunlight in front of her eyes with her hands, and smiled and said, "Come in the house, it's so cold outside, the soldier is here, are your mother okay?"
Xiaobing said: "My third aunt took my mother to the city for hospitalization. She was in the car outside and she couldn't get out of the car. My sister was in the car too."
Aunt Wu walked down the steps and said to her parents: "Third brother and third sister-in-law, you go into the house first, I'll go and say something to her second sister-in-law."
My mother nodded and said, "Okay, just the three cars at the door, just go over and shout."
Aunt Wu pulled the little girl out of the hospital in a hurry. She was very impatient and always did something like someone was holding a knife behind her.
