vol.128 Love at that Time Was Nothing Like This

It is a bit of an exaggeration for Qin Guan to say that it is a phoenix in the Qin family village, but the villagers think that the baby of the old Qin family is beautiful, like a golden pheasant that occasionally runs out of the forest, and the hunters stare at it intently. The beautiful feathers are as dazzling as Qin Guan's body.

Qin Guan didn't know the evaluation of him in the village, he was just dragged by his younger siblings to play and show off with his friends.

In winter, the rural branches are bare and rustling. Most of the young people's games are playing cards at home, but Qin Guan likes to hang out with these little brothers and sisters.

There are so many programs, riding a donkey and riding a horse is nothing. Have you ever ridden a goat? Is it nothing to play with cats and dogs? Have you ever dug out a hibernating snake hole?

When it was dark, Qin Guan led a group of mud monkeys back to the compound of his grandfather's house. Grandma felt sorry for Qin Guan and used a bald broom to shoot dirt for Qin Guan's cubs, while exhorting: "At night, the monkeys will come back to you." Don't go out to play, there are no street lights here, it's easy to sprain your feet."

This kind of deep pampering reached its climax during dinner. Qin Guan proudly handed the two magazines he had photographed to the grandparents sitting there. It's been photographed in a magazine, and it's promising!

The Spring Festival in the countryside is always full of New Year's flavor. On the 23rd, Tanggua is sticky. Grandma boils sweet potato sugar into sweet Tanggua and puts it in the noodle pocket, so that adults and children at home can grab a handful in their spare time (I When I was in elementary school, there was a shop selling sugar melons at the gate of the school. It cost five cents apiece. I really wanted to eat them, but I can’t buy them now.)

On the twenty-eighth day of the new year, grandma, with the help of a group of female relatives at home, steamed a huge jujube cake, which means that this year has quietly come.

On the evening of the 30th, there are roaring firecrackers everywhere, a new New Year's Eve has passed, and everyone ushered in the new year of 2000.

It's a pity that the happy atmosphere didn't reach the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the family jumped up and down, and the little uncle was forced by the village administrator to go to Lasa...

Grandpa Qin looked at the group of brothers who didn't understand the situation very calmly. He sat on the eight fairy chair in the lobby, knocked the soot in the cigarette bag and pot with the sole of his shoe, twisted a pinch of old shredded tobacco for himself, and started smoking like this.

The uncle at the bottom, Dad Qin, and the third aunt didn't dare to make a sound, they just waited for the old man above to speak.

Grandpa Qin cleared his throat, and greeted a group of juniors hiding behind the door curtain: "You also come into the hall and listen to your uncle's affairs."

A group of radishheads headed by Qin Guan lined up obediently, entered the lobby and walked behind the lord.

Grandpa Qin took up the posture of worshiping his ancestors, cleared his throat and said, "Your fourth brother, a few months ago, was tricked by a group of dancing gods into some kind of god meeting."

"If you are sick, don't look at it, just say it is the blessing of the leader, and don't do the work in the field, saying that you are waiting for the meal from the leader. The children of the fourth family almost didn't go to school, so I took them home to let the old lady Take it to school."

The brothers and sisters at the bottom heard a black line. I dare say that my younger brother has joined a cult. Is it appropriate for your old man to say so lightly? What a big deal.

They thought solemnly, and the words below shocked the three brothers and sisters.

"I saw that this was not good. The fourth daughter-in-law was also brought into a god religion! This family is about to break up. I went to the police station in the village and filed a lawsuit against him..."

Reported to the police station, reported to the police station... The three brothers and sisters were sweating coldly in the hall, old man, is it appropriate for you to be so stern and selfless?

"Ah, I wasn't convicted of any major crimes, but the detention for disturbing the public order. If I didn't go to the sand digging site at the east end of the village to do coolies for the first half of the year, I would be released without a sentence."

…It’s better to be sentenced. Generally, those who are detained for minor crimes will be released within a few days. Is it suitable for you to throw your son directly at the sand digging site for half a year?

Father Qin was about to say something nice to his younger brother, but he became serious when he heard what Grandpa Qin said next.

"I don't know where the evil people come from. They believe in wheels and don't teach people good things." When this sentence fell, the brothers in the whole family fell silent.

Belief in God's Wheel religion is a serious crime if the circumstances are serious. Fortunately, the head of the family is shrewd. Grandma Qin is a bit regretful, alas, the fourth family always brings back the pamphlets of the sect.

In the future, there will be no more paper to burn the big stove, and there will be no free straw paper next to the toilet in the pigsty. The fourth uncle of the Qin family really didn't study well, so he showed the church program to the illiterate Grandma Qin. Wouldn't that be a waste of a blind man lighting a lamp?

The brothers of the old Qin's family saw that there was no room for discussion, so they stopped pleading, and the younger generation even laughed and forgot.

Qin Guan secretly took a few breaths. Fortunately, Fourth Uncle Qin left early, and he was still suppressed by his grandfather in this life. If this becomes a big problem, and the fourth uncle who has no brains is tricked to the capital again, then no one will be able to save him.

At this time, the fourth uncle was sifting sand by the fence with a broken shovel in the sand factory. The director of labor reform, that is, the village head, brought everyone a bucket of standard sand, and came all at once. So much labor is still free.

This year, the performance of the battlefield in the village can make another qualitative leap, and the distance between him and the mayor is only one step away.

……………

After the years passed, Qin's father and Qin's mother returned to Y city, uncle and third aunt also went home to take care of the fields in Kaichun, and Qin Guan, the eldest grandson, was left in the courtyard of his grandparents' house.

In the eyes of Qin Guan, who was reborn once more, he had more time to spend with the two old people who loved him so much, which made him feel extremely warm.

On the warm kang at nightfall, under the yellow light bulb, I watched my grandma doing her work stitch by stitch, and told her past with grandpa.

Qin Guan of the two generations never tire of hearing those plots. They don't have the heart-piercing heart-piercing dramas of modern dog-blood dramas, but they have the restraint and warmth of that era.

Although the distance between the two is not as big as that of a landlord's daughter and a long-term worker, there was also a gap between a little-known boy and a lady from a squire's family when his grandparents were young.

The love at that glance is nothing more than this.

The little-footed grandma has always adhered to the family motto of staying at home, and the grandpa who came to collect food only gave a startled glance in the courtyard, and has never forgotten it ever since.

He was 15 then, she was 14.

He tried every means to shorten the distance between the two people, and begged the old shopkeeper to be able to read, keep accounts, and count. In troubled times, he dared to ship grain for the cabinet by carrying a sack with silver dollars on his back.

Through his own efforts, grandpa finally had his own grain store. When he married grandma, the time was just right. He was 19 and she was 18.

It's nothing more than this to live together and grow old together. We have gone through many years of ups and downs hand in hand, living the same life in the turbulent times, and still living the same life after the peaceful and prosperous times.

No complaints, no regrets, never leave.
