Ji's father looked at the familiar small yard of his hometown. In addition to recalling various events from the past, the most important memories were of Ji Ran's childhood.

At that time, she was still very young, a very well-behaved and cute child.

She has been very sensible since she was a child. She never cries or makes trouble. She listens to what adults say.

When she was young, her family was poor and in poor conditions. They couldn't afford any toys or give her any delicious snacks. The only things they could give her were roasted ears of wheat or fish caught from the river and cooked. Give her a bowl of boiled fish to drink.

At that time, Father Ji and Mother Ji were very busy. Mother Ji had to go to work in the fields, and Father Ji also had to go to work in a factory more than ten kilometers away from the village. They often left very early in the morning and arrived late at night. Come back, and because Ji’s mother doesn’t have a very harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law, after going out to work in the morning, sometimes she goes directly back to her parents’ house at noon, and then comes back with Ji’s father in the evening.

For a whole day, Ji Ran was left in the care of her grandma. Ji Ran's grandma was a patriarchal person and was also very indifferent to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran has been afraid of her grandma since she can remember. Other children like to look for adults, but Ji Ran avoids adults when she was a child. Sometimes, she would sit alone at the door for a whole day.

There was nothing to play and nothing to eat, so she sat alone on the stone platform at the door, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at the sky and the birds in the sky. Sometimes there was nothing in the sky, so she would just look at the clouds and fantasize alone. Wait, will there be gods in the sky?

Will I become a little fairy in the future?

At that time, what Ji Ran was most afraid of was dawn, because her parents had to go out, and they would go out all day long. What she liked most was evening, because her parents could come back.

Every evening at dusk, Ji Ran would go to the entrance of the village to wait for her parents to come back. As soon as she saw their parents' shadows, she would run towards them with joy.

Ji's father clearly remembers the feeling when Ji Ran called him dad for the first time. It was a happiness that was sweet to the bones. However, in this familiar courtyard, he failed to give her enough fatherly love, so that After Ji Ran grew up, she had no feelings for her hometown, which she had been most attached to. She was unwilling to go back to her hometown because there were no good memories of her here.

Father Ji stood in the small courtyard, thinking a lot, but finally returned to the cold reality.

This place is no longer the beautiful courtyard in my memory. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the villagers here have all moved away, some hiding in the mountains, and some hiding in other places.

The whole village was deserted.

The small courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the vines had collapsed. Several houses in the north had been unoccupied for a long time, and the walls had collapsed and the roofs were leaking due to the wind and rain.

It's like an old and dying person, his breath is dying everywhere.

Father Ji stood in the small courtyard and couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, stop looking. This shabby yard has nothing to do with you a long time ago." Mother Ji felt a little happy when she saw the dilapidated scene in the small yard. This small yard also didn't give her any good memories. Ever since she married After the Ji family, in addition to being squeezed by her mother-in-law, they were also bullied by their elder brothers. Even a house that belonged to them in their hometown was eventually snatched away by several of Ji Ran's uncles.

She had no feelings towards the family. Seeing the dilapidation of the small courtyard, she felt that the sky had a vision and let those individuals get their retribution.

 

She didn't want to stay here for one more second, it didn't belong to her, and she didn't have to stay here.

"Are you going or not? I'm leaving." Ji's mother frowned and said. Seeing that Ji's father still didn't respond, she picked up Susu and walked out.

Ji's father did not stop him. He knew that he was ashamed of his wife, and his wife's complaints about the family were reasonable.

However, this place held too many memories for him, and it made him somewhat sad to see his former ancestral home transformed into what it is now.

He pushed open the door and entered his ancestral house alone. His grandfather's memorial tablet was still enshrined in the mourning hall of his ancestral house. He remembered that when he was very young, his family was prosperous at that time, with hundreds of people living in a big house. In the courtyard, at that time, every festival, adults would come to the ancestral house to worship their ancestors. I remember that at that time, there were many memorial tablets in the mourning hall, which were the ancestors of the Ji family. The elders of the family brought the younger ones. Worshiping is full of family affection.

Later, when the local tyrants were being attacked, the elders in the family were afraid of getting into trouble, so they divided their homes. Hundreds of people no longer lived together. The big house was also demolished and divided into scattered courtyards. As expected, Later, Master Wang regained Shayu Village. When the land was divided among local tyrants, the Ji family had already completed the distribution in advance. They had carried out self-revolution on behalf of Master Wang and became honest and honest revolutionary comrades.

However, even so, one of Ji Ran's third grandfathers was still regarded as an evil landlord. He was branded, criticized, and almost died.

Later, his children could not study or take the college entrance examination.

When Ji Ran was young, she was often told by her father not to play with the children of the Third Grandpa's family. She should hide far away when he saw them, and he could not ask for candy even if they were given him.

Ji Ran was very good as a child, so she agreed.

The daughter-in-law of the third grandfather's family, Ji Ran calls her grandma. She is a very good old man. She is happy every time she sees Ji Ran. She also said that Ji Ran will be a beautiful girl when she grows up. At that time , she really wanted to go to Ji Ran's house, but she was kicked out by Ji Ran's grandma in a very rude way, which made her very embarrassed.

Later, the grandma actually gave Ji Ran candy, but Ji Ran remembered her father's instructions and never asked for it.

Although the eldest grandma didn't say anything, Ji Ran saw deep disappointment and sadness in her eyes. Ji Ran was still very young at that time, but she could understand the eldest grandma's mood at that time. She must be very sad.

Later, when I grew up and recalled what happened at that time, I realized that the eldest grandma actually didn’t want others to look at them in a negative light. Ever since the third grandfather was criticized, their family had been isolated for a long time. The eldest grandma was actually born I came from a very good scholarly family. Later, when Brother Wen was in charge, my parents were sent down to the countryside, so I had to follow my parents to the countryside.

When the eldest grandma was young, she was actually a very beautiful woman. However, due to her parents, no one dared to marry her. In the end, she had no choice but to marry the eldest son of the third grandfather.

The eldest son of the third grandfather is an out-and-out rural man who is lazy in eating and has a bad temper. The eldest grandmother is a well-educated, gentle and virtuous woman. After living with the uncle, she never had a good day, and she couldn't eat enough. After a little hardship and a lot of fatigue, the grandmother was full of grievances. She wanted to find someone to talk to, but she couldn't find one. She raised several children by herself through hard work. Later, the conditions became better and she wanted to talk to her. Maintain good relations with relatives, but cannot be recognized by relatives.

Later, the eldest grandma died of illness before she was 60 years old. On the day of her funeral, not many people came to the village. I heard that she rolled up a bed and buried her hastily.
