Chapter 296 Beheading (for Subscription)

When Yang Qing opened his eyes again, he found that everything had changed. He no longer lived in the apartment he rented in Beijing, but in a rather dilapidated bungalow, and the decoration inside the house was very familiar to him , because this is his childhood home!
He got out of bed in disbelief, touched the old Panda brand black and white TV, touched the cabinet under the TV, and touched the pillow stuffed with wolf grass (straw) at the head of the bed.

"This is real?"

"Son, are you awake? Mom was scared to death. The doctor said you had a high fever of 39 degrees 8, but it didn't scare me out of sickness! Next time, you must remember to wear more clothes!"

Looking at the young mother, tears welled up in Yang Qing's eyes. He wanted to hug his mother, but in the end he plunged into her arms, just like the saying: Only mothers are good in the world, and there are mothers. A child like a treasure, put into the arms of the mother, can not enjoy happiness.

"Mom, I miss you!" Yang Qing buried his head in her mother's arms and said with a sob.

"Son, it's okay, it's okay, you're ready, get ready, go to school tomorrow!"

"Okay, I get it now!"

"You, it's true this time, you just learned how to ride a bicycle (bicycle), and you rushed down from such a high bridge. If your second uncle didn't pass by, they said, you might be drowned!" Here, my mother's tears kept pouring out.

When she saw her son being carried back, she felt extremely flustered. When she knew what had happened, she was not only flustered, but also frightened. Luckily, her son was blessed and survived. .

Yang Qing suddenly remembered what happened. It was indeed as his mother said. When he just learned to ride a bicycle, he rode a big bike (Phoenix brand bicycle, adult version, with a yokozuna in front) in order to show his "capability". , people can sit) rushed down from the [-]-[-]m high bridge diagonally opposite the school, but did not have enough strength to control the dragon head, and rushed out of the brick road and into the river.

Note: Those are two intersecting rivers, one is north-south and the other is east-west, and the bridge he rushed down is a bridge on the north-south river, just on the side of the road is another east-west one Rivers, but neither the east-west nor the north-south rivers have names.

Not to mention children, adults have never seen such a scene. The students who were leaving school together at that time were all terrified. If his second uncle hadn't come back from the town government, Yang Qing might have drowned at that time.

"Mom, have you thanked the second uncle? How about we find a time to treat the second uncle to dinner?"

As soon as Yang Qing said this, his mother looked at him strangely. At this moment, Yang Qing wanted to give himself a slap in the face. You must know that he had never voluntarily offered some suggestions before. This made him forget, and he returned to his childhood. , but naturally thought that he was the one who had struggled in society.

"No, but your aunt said that in the future, you should live there. It's too far away from your school."

"Ah? How about we move to my aunt's house together, and you can go too."

"But……"

The second uncle who saved Yang Qing before was actually his cousin second uncle, the second son of his aunt.Yang Qing's father has been working outside the home. To be specific, he was taken away by a boss in the village and went to work on a boat with him. Yang Qing remembers that his father's salary is only about 400 yuan a month!Excluding living expenses, I can have a balance of about [-] yuan a month.

Note: Don't you think it's incredible?But that's what the wages were at the time.Unlike now, a bag of instant noodles is 2.5 yuan, and the most popular Fumanduo at that time was only 8 cents.

"Mom, there's nothing at home, and it's not a busy season, so it's okay to stay for a few days."

"Okay. We'll be there tomorrow."

Why did Yang Qing go to her aunt's house?In addition to wanting to thank my second uncle personally, I also want to see the great-uncle who has been taking care of their family.Because, if everything continues according to the original plot, my uncle will not have a few years to live. Now that Yang Qing is in the second grade, when he is in the sixth grade, my uncle will pass away due to cancer.

Note: Auntie is Yang Qing's father's aunt. When Yang Qing comes here, she will be called grandma. Grandma's husband will naturally be grandpa, which is not the same as the so-called "uncle".

"By the way, Mom, where is my schoolbag? Are the books in it not damp?"

"The books are all in good condition. It is indeed the schoolbag that your aunt sewed for you. There is a layer of plastic lining inside, and no water has entered. Your second uncle said it was lucky."

"I'm sorry Mom, I won't be brave next time."

"It's good if you know, I'll get you your schoolbag."

After Yang Qing's mother walked out of the room, she couldn't control her tears anymore, so she squatted at the door, covered her mouth, and started crying. Seeing her crying, Yang Qing rushed out and hugged her She kept comforting her head, "Mom, it's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

The mother and son hugged each other like this, crying non-stop. At this time, Yang Qing understood her mother very well.Father is not at home, if something happens to him, how will mother live, how will she live!Back then he didn't see his mother crying, but now he can't wait to slap himself twice.

If something really happened to him and he died, the family would be completely gone. Yang Qing had seen so many tragedies, he didn't want such a tragedy to happen to him, he never wanted to.

After half an hour, the mother and son finally settled down, and Yang Qing finally had the opportunity to take a look at the place where he lived when he was a child!
His house is actually pretty big.The small bungalow where he is now actually has only two rooms, the inner room and the outer room, also called the inner room and the outer room. There is only an antique-style pedal bed in the inner room, with a pedal as long as the bed, and a mosquito net on the bed , This mosquito net is covered on the bed all year round. In addition to mosquitoes, it also prevents other insects. After all, there are not many insects in rural areas.There is a layer of plastic liner on the floor opposite the head of the bed, and then there is an old wooden box, which is mainly used to put some clothes and other daily necessities.There was also some messy toilet paper on the wooden box.There is a spittoon under the bed belly.

There is no ceiling in the room, but there are a few flat beams covered with a thick layer of matting. This is considered a ceiling. A fancy wire is connected to it, and a light bulb hangs from it. Yang Qing doesn’t even need to look at it. Remember, that bulb was only 20 watts!
Opposite the bed is a window with iron bars. On the left side of the window is a door without a door, but a curtain is hung down. On the right side of the window is an old wooden cabinet. The wooden cabinet is an anti-"old" The small cabinet with a wooden door below and the tall cabinet with a door on the right are filled with the clothes of the two women.The place on the upper left of the cabinet has no door, and there are Yang Qing's books inside, mainly blank exercise books given to him by his aunt (the second daughter of his aunt).

The cabinet was only 1 meters high, and a Panda brand black and white TV with an antenna was placed on it. On the TV was a plastic flower pot with a bouquet of fake flowers inside.

Although this home is small, Yang Qing feels very warm.

Outhouses are simple.On the north wall, there is a long and tall platform (also called Tiaoji), two meters long and 1 meter high, on which there is an old-fashioned clockwork clock (the clock was still there before Yang Qing passed away) , an incense burner, and there is no Bodhisattva, but incense is burning on it, and Yang Qing knows without thinking that this is his mother praying to the Bodhisattva to bless him through this catastrophe.Below the table, there are two red tea bottles and a coal stove.

Near the door of the back room, there is a square table, one meter high and one meter long and wide.Four square stools are placed neatly under the square table.In addition, there is a small rectangular wooden table between the strip table and the square table, which can accommodate six people to eat together, with two people on each side and one person on each end.It's only half a meter high, and Yang Qing's schoolbag is on this small table, which is also Yang Qing's desk.

Hanging directly above this small table is an incandescent light bulb, 40 watts, which he uses for his homework at night.I usually don't turn on this light at night because it consumes a lot of power.Although the electricity bill at this time is only [-] cents a kilowatt-hour, but what can be saved is still to be saved.What my great-uncle dislikes the most is extravagance and waste.Right in front of the small table is the main entrance of this room. You may not believe it, but the main entrance of Yang Qing's house faces east, but it is north.Because of this, the mother and child in the back room are safer.

Yang Qing pushed open the door, it was already the evening of the second day after the incident happened, which is why his mother felt tired, it was all because of worry and fear!After all, Yang Qing was to blame.This made him feel even more guilty.

At the main entrance, there is an open space about 18 meters long from north to south, and 12 meters long from east to west. There is a narrow path leading to the embankment in front of the main entrance. The other places are lit with soybeans. At this time, the busy autumn has just ended and Yang Qing is just in the second grade.I have to say that the countryside is huge, and every household has such a big land!In later generations, this is not a small place.

There is a two-meter-wide area behind Yang Qing's house, and then to the west is a three-meter-wide river, which is also a small river without a name.On the right side of the main entrance of Yang Qing’s house, about 10 meters away, there is a pit, which was dug out by the way when picking the river embankment when building the house.

As soon as Yang Qing walked out of the house and took a breath of fresh air, he saw his second uncle coming by on a bicycle.

"Qing'er, are you awake? Let's go, call your mother, I just went to my second uncle's (uncle's) house for dinner!"

Yang Qing's second uncle is a soldier who has not been retired for a long time, and he is also an intellectual and a party member. After returning from the army, he was assigned to work in the county hospital. As for what he did, Yang Qing never knew when he was a child.But Yang Qing knew that the second uncle had a great skill, he could tell the time accurately anytime and anywhere!It can even tell how long has passed since the incident just now, and it can be accurate to the minute.

In Yang Qing's memory, his great-uncle was a majestic and kind old man.My great-uncle used to be a veteran cadre, so he naturally carried such a majestic aura.However, my great-uncle likes children very much and treats them very well.He often keeps some hard candies (fruit candies) in his pocket and gives some to the children when he sees them.

Even if it was "I haven't seen him for many years", Yang Qing still remembers his great-aunt's hobbies. His favorite food is the braised pork made by his great-aunt, and the kind that is fat and thin. His biggest hobby is playing mahjong, and he can often eat Just sitting for an afternoon... Moreover, Yang Qing still remembers the words that his uncle said when he met him for the first time: "You don't have grandparents, if you don't mind, just call me grandpa!"

It is precisely because of this sentence that in Yang Qing's heart, the great-uncles and great-aunts are just grandparents.

"Dad, we're back." The second uncle shouted directly outside the yard before he walked in the door.

"Grandpa, here I come."

"Okay, okay, are you feeling better?"

"Well, well, it's all right." After finishing speaking, Yang Qing jumped on the spot twice.

"It's fine if it's okay, don't be brave next time."

"Yes!"

"Wash your hands and eat. Your grandma cooked you your favorite braised fish (crucian carp), by the way, where is your mother?"

"I came here by my second uncle's (bike) car, and my mother will be there in a while."

"Well! That's good. You haven't attended class for a day, so don't miss your homework. If you don't understand anything, just ask, you know?"

"I see."

Grandpa's house has two rooms, one is the main room facing south, and the other is the kitchen facing east.There are three main rooms, the middle one is also the largest living room, and the east and west rooms are on the left and right sides, also known as the east room and the west room.The kitchen is the same size as Yang Qing's house, and even the structure is the same. The only difference is that Yang Qing's house is painted with cement on the outside walls, while neither the kitchen nor the main room of Grandpa's house is painted.

There is a walkway between the kitchen and the west room of the main house, which can accommodate a car. A shed is built on it, and the shed is covered with grape trellises. Every summer, this is a good place to enjoy the shade.

The main entrance of the main house and the main entrance of the kitchen is a cement field, which is covered with bean sprouts. Although the second uncle has a job in the county, the three brothers look after each other on the land of the house.They will take turns to come back to do some farm work, and the beans that are drying on the concrete floor are made by the second uncle.

At this time, grandma came over from the kitchen with two large plates. Yang Qing saw it and immediately ran over to take the bowls, "Grandma!"

"Qingzi, are you feeling better?"

"Well, better!"

Yang Qing put the plate full of braised fish on the square table in the living room.In rural areas, every household has such a square table.Then, Yang Qing trotted all the way to the kitchen, washed his hands, lifted the wooden pot lid, and started serving rice with a shovel.

"Ah, is Qingzi able to hold a meal?" Grandma walked in.

"Well, grandma, can you keep the crispy rice? Then fry it in oil?"

In the countryside, rice is cooked in earthen stoves, and then cooked in iron pots.Grandma's stove is relatively large, with three pots on it, one big and one small, and a medium pot.The rice is cooked in the inner pot, which is also a big pot, so this is also a kind of big pot rice.

"Okay, I'll add two fires later."

Because this stove is an earthen stove, it is necessary to add straw, wheat straw and other materials to the stove when cooking, so it is very important to control the heat, otherwise the fire will be too big, and the food will be messed up. Well, if the fire is low, the fire inside will be easily extinguished, and a dish cannot be cooked for a long time.Experts who can skillfully control the heat will not be able to cook rice when cooking. Of course, wanting rice is just another matter for them.

While eating, grandpa suddenly asked: "You were sick for a day and didn't go to class. You need to find a chance to make up your homework, you know?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, these homework will be fine. I can catch up with the progress."

"Well, that's good, that's good."

The old man didn't say much, but from his words and his eyes, it could be discerned that he really cared about Yang Qing very much.Yang Qing naturally understood this, so he didn't want to disappoint the old man's kindness.
