all the way

Liu Ling:

I will not greet you, I know that after you read my letter, you must feel that your whole body is not good.

But for the sake of sending you the letter of eternal life, don’t be so disgusted when you reply to me. At least write two letters. A 79-character reply really hurts my fragile heart.

Liu Xia's eyes widened and he asked, "You wrote a few dozen words to Brother Zhenbei's letter?"

Liu Ling asked calmly: "Or else? On the day Xiaohai and I came back, we went to dig stone piles with my uncle and brother. I didn't even want to eat for a long time after I came back. It's good if I can insist on replying to him."

Liu Xia nodded: "That's right, he was idle to watch the ants move to scratch the dog's eggs, and we worked from morning to night to be exhausted, so he wrote six or seven sheets, and you wrote six or seventy characters." , there is nothing unfair about it.”

Liu Ling nodded: "That's right!"

The two continued to look down:

When I woke up this morning, I saw the face of my old man who hates iron and steel. Brother, I woke up at 05:30, and he is still not satisfied?

So after breakfast, I resolutely drove back to the army. First, my father and I would feel better when I was not at home. Second, and most importantly, I felt that I was the only one who got up early in the morning and was blacked out. Training is really unfair, so I decided to train a few people as well, in order to demonstrate the basic principle that everyone is equal in this world.

The old boy of Liulian Zhu Banpai was very honored to cooperate with me in completing this task. I gave him a bloody shower, and seeing him running around the training ground with his top-heavy footsteps to vomit blood, I felt much more comfortable.

Liu Xia said: "No way, Brother Zhenbei vented his bad emotions with your fighter training? He, he..."

Liu Ling said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he runs the train with his mouth full, and everything he says will change beyond recognition.

Zhu Banpai is the nickname of the sixth company commander Li. He is a slow-tempered person, and he does everything slower than others, so the company commander gave him such a nickname. In fact, it is not that serious. He is just a normal person. That's right, Company Commander Zhu's normal behavior has become a jerk in his eyes.

It must be that Company Commander Zhu felt that it was a holiday, and he let the soldiers go too loose, which exceeded the company commander's bottom line.

He definitely didn't go back out of anger, let alone go back to vent his depression, he just went back to investigate the post with his carbine.

Although this Erpilian looked a little unreliable behind his back, he was very serious about everything related to army discipline, training, and soldiers, and he was not at all a person like the ruffian he was in private. "

Liu Xia felt relieved: "Let me just say, brother Zhenbei can't be this kind of person."

I felt better, so I began to think, in such a cold winter, I stay alone in this bitter cold place outside the Great Wall, isn't this the best time to write poems and inscriptions?Aren't the famous sentences that have been handed down through the ages basically all written in such a pitiful situation as I am at this moment?

So I decided to also go to see Wusiren grieve in the cold wind, and then write a few masterpieces through the ages.

I decided to start thinking about my best comrades, brothers, and friends.

I came to the window where you lived, everything was there, except you were not there, obviously it was the same tofu block as so many people, I looked at it through the window, but I smelled your breath clearly;

The pen on the table in front of the window, I can see it flowing in your hand, and then I can see you sitting there writing.

The snow fell heavily a few days ago, and there is still snow everywhere. The poplar trees whistled sharply in the cold wind under the sun. On the battlefield, I think of the white land thousands of miles away, and the corpse shrouded in horse leather.

I know that this place used to be a real battlefield, but where are the soldiers who fought bloody battles here today?

Suddenly, I really hope that people really have souls, immortal souls. Then, those heroic spirits who used to defend their homes and country on this land, like us now, will watch us at this time and guide us. Us, protect us.

I suddenly thought, if I hadn’t followed Brother Jianguo to the Central Plains on a whim that day, and hadn’t hurriedly got up to Wangning because I couldn’t stand the faces of those people in the Armed Forces Department, where would you be now?What will it be like?

It should be in your warm and comfortable family, right?But at this moment, you should be sitting on a tree bump or a swing in front of the cave dwelling, watching your son touch the persimmon monkey with Xiaorui, Xiaoxin, and Maoer. Happiness and contentment.

Liu Xia raised his head and saw a few little guys jumping up and down the tree to touch the persimmon monkey.

Xiaorui was blindfolded, and was carefully climbing along a branch;

With Liu Yun on her back, Xiao Wei was lightly changing branches, and the branch that Xiao Rui was climbing was next to the branch they were staying on;

Xiao Xin hugged Liu Lei and sat on a tree branch, Xiao Xin covered Liu Lei's mouth to prevent him from making a sound;

The cat was slowly retreating from a thin branch, ready to attack Xiao Rui;

Liu Kui and Liu Yu stood under the tree talking, and at the same time paid attention to the children on the tree: Liu Yun and Liu Lei are too young to know how to defend themselves, they have to stand below to protect themselves, and are always ready to save those who may fall by mistake brat.

Liu Ling looked into the distance for a long time, then took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth: "Chen Zhenbei, you bastard, I knew you were secretly laughing at me all the time."

Liu Xia asked: "Brother Zhenbei made fun of you? No way, why did he make fun of you?"

Liu Ling said angrily: "Big crotch pants, I wore them the day he met me, the same ones I wore when breaking corn and chopping corn stalks."

Liu Xia thought for a while, but he didn't think of Liu Ling's big crotch pants, but he definitely didn't wear them too much, so he was deeply impressed: "What's wrong with the big crotch pants? The big crotch pants are comfortable, and the chicks don't nest. Don’t panic, ask our sister-in-law to make one for him, bring it back to him when you go back, tell him to try it on and he won’t laugh at you.”

Liu Ling snorted and said, "Make clothes for him? He's so beautiful, this narrow-minded bastard, he did it on purpose.

Hmph, my uncle also said that if he is still pitiful next time, he should come back with me, he can wait, he will never come to our house again in eight lifetimes, let him stay at his house and look at his father's door god face Bar!Suffocate him to death. "

Liu Xia looked at the big persimmon tree again: "But don't say it, brother Zhenbei is still very accurate in guessing, you should just sit here on Qiushang and watch the children touch the persimmon monkey, hehe, but it's just that you are not there, baby唦.

Hey fifth brother, tell me, if you really told Brother Zhenbei like this, he didn’t come to Wangning that day, and you didn’t meet him that day, do you think you would really tell him the same, and now children can touch persimmons Monkey? "

Liu Ling turned around and twisted Liu Xia's ears: "Don't let me talk about meeting that scoundrel in Wangning again, I get angry when I think about it, you don't even know what he looked like when he saw me wearing big crotch pants that day, It's like watching monkeys; we'll talk about it when we get back!"

Liu Xia's ears were saved, he touched his ears and asked: "Anyway, he has already seen it, what can you do with him when you go back?"

Liu Ling shook open the letter and continued to read: "Don't bother him, just kick him in the mouth."

Liu Xia grinned, leaned on Liu Ling's shoulder and continued to watch:

When I thought of this, suddenly a gust of wind blew over and almost blew me away. I was startled, Xiaoling, do you really think that those heroic spirits who guard us know that I actually want to blow you away like this? A good soldier was brought back to his hometown to marry a wife and have a son, so he got angry?

Liu Xia laughed loudly: "Brother Zhenbei is a real hit. He looks so fashionable, but I didn't expect him to be superstitious!"

Liu Ling was very relieved and said: "It deserves it, tell him to leave it there and pretend to be deep, why didn't he just blow him into the Sangbei River."

Liu Xia then looked down and was taken aback because it read:

I know, seeing this, you will definitely grit your teeth and say: "It's what you deserve, Chen Zhenbei, I asked you to pretend to be deep, why didn't I blow you into the Sangbei River to feed the fish!"

Liu Xia put his arms around Liu Ling's neck and shouted: "Oh, brother Zhenbei really understands you, he can even guess what you cursed him."

Liu Ling said: "Because he knows that he should be cursed, you bastard!"

Liu Hai leaned out half of his body at the door of the main room and called: "Fifth brother, come and help me, I can't always engrave the word '探', and it took me two radishes; Yaoer, hurry up and write the certificate of merit." Okay, how about I carve the chapter and where to put it on it?"

"Don't blah, Brother Six, go over immediately after reading it. Even if I write ten certificates, you may not be able to engrave them."

As Liu Xia spoke, he continued to look over Liu Ling's shoulder, because Chen Zhenbei really kept a running account of his actions from waking up in the morning to writing letters at night. The feeling of wanting to kick him in the face is really nothing serious, so Liu Ling and Liu Xia quickly finished reading ten lines at a glance.

Liu Xia looked at Chen Zhenbei's last sentence: I know you've been tortured by my account, so why don't you send me a account to torture me, if it was me, I would definitely retaliate like this.

Liu Xia said: "Fifth brother, I think Brother Zhenbei said that this method is also correct, you can write a journal account as he did for reply, otherwise, he always writes such a thick volume for you, you can send it over. It's always like an empty envelope, so how embarrassing it is for him to put it in front of his family!"

Liu Ling put the letter in the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket at any time: "It's right, I didn't let him write it. Let's go, engrave a chapter, and I will engrave you a beautiful one, with flowers, and stamp it on your beautiful award certificate, my child will definitely Pleased."

The chapter requested by Liu Xia did have a lot of words, and he didn’t want the engraving to be too large, saying that it would look incongruous if it was covered, so Liu Ling had a bit of trouble engraving it, especially the word “探” which had been engraved several times. For the second time, it is not very clear when it is covered with inkpad and covered on paper.

In the end, Liu Ling and Liu Hai had no choice but to ask Liu Changqing to go out in person.

Liu Changqing's eyes were a little dazzled, and the room was a little dark, so everyone moved outside to the cave to watch Liu Changqing's carvings.

Liu Fulai quarreled with Niu Sanni, didn't want to stay at home, but had no other place to go, so he came to Liu Changqing's house, and he helped Liu Changchun smash walnuts while talking.

Liu Miao originally came to call Liu Fulai home, but seeing that Liu Kui happened to be free today, she discussed with him about expanding her cave dwelling after the Chinese New Year.

Liu Miao wants to dig soil a little farther away from the cave they live in now, and then dig two spacious new caves. After digging, a wall will be used to separate the cave from the cave they live in, forming a separate yard for the Liu Sen and Liu Yao live together after they get married.

Liu Miao doesn't plan to get married anymore, he thinks that he will live with his parents in the future, and let his two brothers live in another yard, otherwise, with Niu Sannier around, even if Liu Sen and Liu Yao get married, they might not even think about it for a day Ann birthday.

Liu Miao grew up watching Liu Changqing's family live, but looking at it today, she is still envious. Although his family is not short of money to spend now, it still can't compare with other families. He knows that even though their family earns more money than Liu Changqing's family , they can't live such a life.

He and Liu Yu also came to see Liu Changqing's carved seal, but every time he raised his head and saw anything in Liu Changqing's big courtyard, he felt envious, which made him, like Liu Fulai, unwilling to go back to his home.

The three daughters-in-law in the family are all in the kitchen, and Liu Chuan is helping. Sun Chang'e is very leisurely today. She is sitting next to Liu Xia and the others with a reading glasses, and sews the eyes on a tiger-toed shoe.

Liu Xia had already written the certificate of merit, and sat next to Liu Changqing to watch him engrave the seal. When he saw Sun Chang'e, he remembered Wen Yongfang's matter. The cat happened to be away, so he started talking to Sun Chang'e.

Sun Chang'e sighed after hearing this: "Your fifth elder brother said that he can return to Yongsheng to help him, and that family is good people.

We are really old and poor here, and the roads are not easy to walk. If we live here, it will be better, not to mention Rongze, it will be the same as that in Fujiazhuang. Let that girl come to live with us, and find her a husband's family here. Even if she is a little poor, it is better to let her husband's family suffer for her life and be judged for the rest of her life. "

Liu Ling looked at Liu Changqing's engraving, and said without looking back: "I'm not in the middle of the road, they are on flat land, Yongfang and our youngest have the same zodiac sign, and they are just [-], and she can't walk on our dozens of miles."

Liu Miao and the others also heard what Liu Xia said to Sun Chang'e, because Liu Miao was very sensitive when he mentioned words such as "fate is hard" and "death". When he heard such words at Liu Changqing's house, he felt like slapping himself Same.

But he knew that Liu Xia and Sun Chang'e were just lamenting the fate of a man who was somewhat similar to Mao'er, and absolutely did not mean to accuse Sang Huai of beating him and Liu Fulai.

Liu Miao thought for a while and said, "Liu Yu, didn't Director Ma say that our business is good, and he plans to add two more lathes recently, do you want to find some more people?"

Liu Yu nodded in confusion: "Well, what's the matter?"

Liu Miao said: "Will Xiao Ling and his friend's girl be successful? Except for the processing of large-scale work, women can't handle it. We have to rely on men. Usually women can do most of the work. "

Liu Yu looked at Liu Ling: "I don't know either, we are in a poor valley, and there is no other way to make money, so I think it's not bad to do this.

But if you think about those people who went to the horse village, and the relatives of the director of the horse factory, they all left after not working for a long time. They were panicked. Brother Wen’s house is on flat land, and the conditions are better than ours. Okay, would his sister be willing to do this? "

There was cheers from the big persimmon tree, everyone looked over together, Liu Rui finally caught Liu Xin who was sitting there like a tree nail holding Liu Lei immobile.

The cat was sitting on a tall branch, sucking his mouth and whistling. The branch was constantly swaying in the wind, but he acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't know any fear at all.

Liu Kui went over and stretched out his hand: "Xiao Xin, come here slowly, and pass Xiao Lei to me."

Liu Yun and Liu Lei panicked when they saw other people playing on the tree, but they really went up. They were too young to climb around and found it boring after a while, so they were very happy when they heard that they could come down. Liu Kui took them over and put them on the ground, and the two little guys ran over to find Sun Chang'e yelling "Grandma".

For Liu Changqing, engraving on radishes is not as difficult as writing on paper. Of course, the speed will definitely be slower, and today he has to teach a few children, so he deliberately slowed down.

Even so, it only took him more than half an hour to carve the radish seal, and at Liu Ling's request, he also carved a lotus flower in the middle.

The cat spread the award on the stone table happily, and Liu Rui stretched it out for him, and read out loud the content on it:

"There is my baby boy, Liu An, who has done well in studies, sports, morality, labor, and growth this year. He was awarded the title of Five Good Little Handsome Boys. I hereby send this letter to encourage him.

All members of Liu Changqing's family in Liujialing brigade. "

Liu Ling scratched her head, and said to Liu Xia: "Boy, that's what we mean when you write about the five good things, and you can't write it so straightforwardly, right? Should you write about studying hard, uniting with classmates, respecting teachers, loving labor, and the last one? It doesn't seem right to write... in good health, so... what should I write?"

Liu Hai said: "Song Yu's writing ability is better than Pan An's, and it is connected to the front, so smooth."

Liu Rui said, "Shun Liu didn't win either. The cat scored 85 points for the composition, and the Chinese language has not passed [-] miles. How can it be said that it is better than Song Yu?"

Liu Hai waved his hand: "Then don't compare yourself to Song Yu, just write that you are better than Pan An in appearance, or just write about sinking fish and wild geese, closed moon and shameful flowers, anyway, it is more educated than writing 'good-looking'."

Liu Changqing was laughed at by the children. He originally planned to write the content of the certificate himself. Most of Maoer's certificates over the years were written by him, but he didn't say anything when he saw Liu Xia's high spirits just now. , I didn't expect Liu Xia to really write such a big vernacular.

The cat stared at Liu Hai for a few seconds before jumping up unwillingly: "You are the one who sinks the fish and the wild goose, and you are the one who closes the moon and shames the flower. I, I, I am a tiger with a big waist and a jade tree facing the wind."

This time, everyone in the courtyard laughed.

Liu Hai laughed so hard that he almost gasped: "Ouch, you are not as big as a cat, look at how thick you are, look at how graceful you are..., Ouch, I am dying of laughter."

Liu Ling smiled enough before saying, "Boy, it's no wonder you can't get to 85 in Chinese. You are an adjective, and you are really on par with your uncle back then!"

In the end, "Liu Changqing's family of Liujialing Brigade of Wangning Commune" and "Liu Xia of the Third Hydrological Exploration Brigade of Central Plains Geological Exploration Bureau" were stamped on the certificate written by Liu Xia.

Because cats like it.

Mao'er didn't feel that the "five good" written by Liu Xia were too vain and unprofessional, he just felt a little embarrassed to be praised so well.

But what my uncle wrote, no one is allowed to change it.

Maoer also likes the chapter engraved by Liu Changqing very much. words.

During lunch, Maoer still held the stamp and looked at it for a long time, and then said to Liu Changqing: "Grandpa, you can use other things to engrave a stamp like this for my uncle, I will see you."

Liu Changqing thought for a while: "Then, I'll use the piece of jade that your great-grandfather gave you to engrave it for your uncle, but boy, the private seal is not that big. You really want to see this lotus, right?"

The cat nodded again and again: "Yeah."

Liu Changqing said: "Then I will engrave a small chapter for your uncle, and also engrave a lotus flower on it, will it hit you or not?"

The cat said, "Middle, make it more beautiful."

After lunch, when Liu Ling and Liu Chuan were preparing eight-treasure rice together, Liu Ling suddenly said: "I think the method Liu Miao said today is similar. My squad leader and his family are all real people, and Yong Fang will definitely not be lazy. Li Nier, third brother, how about I write a letter to my squad leader to see if they are willing."

Liu Chuan said: "Your squad leader's home is more than 1000 miles away from us. You have to think about it. It's not talking to leave your hometown alone. We don't have any girls in our family. If you are not used to it, she will tell you There are no people there, if people feel bad after coming for three days, don’t want to do it anymore, and go back, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Liu Ling nodded: "Then I will discuss it with my uncle, my mother, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law. They are more considerate than me."

Liu Xia has been struggling since lunch, Liu Yu is married, Liu Changchun and the others will definitely worship their ancestors alone this afternoon, and this year is the tenth anniversary of the death of Di Yulan and Xu Xiaohong, which is a big event in the countryside. If my son goes down to worship the ancestors, do you want the cat to go to the grave with him?

If you go, Liu Mao is at home this year, he is the eldest son, he must be leading the ancestors to the grave, and let the cat follow Liu Mao?

Liu Xia rolled on the kang: "No, that kid is so wronged, he was so happy at the age of thirty, following him, he didn't even dare to say a word."

"Who doesn't dare to talk, uncle?"

Mao'er ran in holding two pieces of fried octopus, jumped onto the kang and knelt beside Liu Xia, and put a piece of octopus to his mouth.

Liu Xia reached out to grab it.

The cat said: "There is oil, don't take it, I will feed you, who dares to speak if you tell me?"

Liu Xia bit out the thorns on the side, and Mao'er took a piece of paper and put it on the kang: "Spit it here, don't bite, I'll get all the thorns out and you can eat it."

Liu Xia said: "I'm talking about Xiao Yun and Xiao Lei. Those two bastards are really good at making trouble now. When they want to sleep, they not only have to scratch their itch all the time, but they also don't allow others to talk."

The cat bit out all the fishbone on both sides with its small teeth, leaving only the fishbone in the middle of the spine. He put the fish piece near Liu Xia's mouth, and Liu Xia turned over and ate there.

The cat bit the other piece and said: "Actually, they are very good sometimes. It turned out that when my mother and uncle went to work in the field, my grandma led them to cook, and they followed grandma all the time, each eating a piece of bun." You can play for a long time without disturbing people at all."

Liu Xia pretended to be very casual and said: "Boy, you are your grandpa's eldest son, if grandpa wants you to go home to worship your ancestors, or ask you to visit your grandma's grave, do you want to go?"

"Huh?" Mao'er was stunned: "Me? I... I don't know, uncle, do you think I will go? I, I have never seen... that grandma."

Just as Liu Xia was about to talk, Liu Wei came in with a plate: "Uncle, cat, are you done yet? Here, my mother asked me to bring you some more. Third uncle said that this tastes best when it's freshly fried. My mother told my grandma, let’s just eat it now, anyway, sooner or later it will go into our stomach.”

As Liu Wei was talking, she suddenly noticed something wrong with Mao'er's expression, so she reached out and stroked his head: "What's wrong with you, baby? Are you feeling down?"

Mao'er puffed up and shook his head: "Uncle asked me if my grandfather told me to go back to worship the ancestors, would I go back or not?"

Liu Wei fell silent for a while, and said after a while: "If you don't want to go back, you won't come back. If you go back, you won't be happy, and uncle will be even more upset, won't you be uncle?"

Liu Xia turned over and lay flat: "Xiaowei, if you say that I am going to fail for the baby, you just kowtow..."

Liu Wei almost wanted to roll her eyes, he had already realized that a smart person like my uncle is very confused when it comes to cats, can the ancestor worship be replaced?Especially when the person involved is still at home, the cat is the grandson of the second master's family, who is the uncle?

But Liu Wei didn't show it at all. He picked the biggest hairtail and handed it to the cat: "Give it to the baby, eat slowly, and then peel the thorns for the uncle, don't prick him, the elder brother has to feed the little one." Ray, our grandma can't feed them both."

Liu Wei went out, Liu Xia turned over again, and said very firmly to Mao'er: "No, we'll just leave this house and pretend we don't know, anyway, you haven't been back before, they must have kept you away." You are already ten years old this year, forget about it."

Liu Xia has always been a little free at home. In addition, the whole family knows that his work is very hard. After lunch, he can't get up on the kang. The whole family has no other thoughts except distressed.

So for most of the afternoon, he was lying on the kang with the cat, Liu Wei, Liu Rui, and even Liu Xin kept bringing all kinds of delicious food to their room.

Liu Ling and Liu Hai also came over once, and Liu Hai fed Liu Xia croquettes while making him look like an old man with kidney deficiency.

Liu Ling fed Liu Xia a few spiced almonds, and patted his head: "Lie down and play, it's okay, the baby is still young, my uncle is not a nasty person."

Liu Ling's words made Liu Xia feel very comforted. He was actually afraid that Liu Changchun would feel bad. If Liu Changchun didn't care, he wouldn't care.

Mao'er was a little uneasy, he was not only smart, but also sensitive, he felt that my uncle knew he didn't like to go down, and asked him specifically, there must be a reason, should he or must go down this year?

However, Brother Xiaowei said that if he was unhappy, Uncle would definitely be even more unhappy. He decided not to go on, no matter what the reason was, anyway, he just didn't want Uncle to be unhappy.

Liu Xia was in a mess after eating, so he jumped off the kang and ran to the toilet while the cat was bringing him water. As soon as he got out of the house, he saw Liu Mao standing alone under the big persimmon tree, and just happened to look over here .

Liu Xia didn't think too much, turned around and walked to the toilet, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Liu Mao was also walking there quickly.

Liu Mao caught up with Liu Xia under the oak tree in front of the toilet, and Liu Xia stood there watching him without speaking.

Liu Mao glanced at Liu Xia, then turned his eyes away, and said with difficulty: "I, I just heard... I heard Xiaowei tell our eldest brother... He, he is still small..., call him... Let's play with you at home."

After Liu Mao finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Xia again.

Liu Xiatan took a while before he said firmly: "I heard from my third brother that my uncle asked Uncle Changxing to give you a message. If it's too late, he won't interfere with your divorce. It's been so long. Why don't you leave?"

Liu Mao lowered his eyes.

Liu Xia felt "suddenly" uncomfortable, because Liu Mao's appearance was exactly the same as when Mao'er lowered his eyes, although Mao'er had never been so decadent.

Liu Mao said, "You don't understand."

Liu Xia blurted out and asked: "Is there anything else I need to understand? Isn't it natural for such a woman to divorce her?"

Liu Mao looked at him and shook his head slightly: "You don't understand."

Looking at Liu Mao's back, Liu Xia felt relaxed and frustrated.

He found that because of Liu Mao's promise, his heart that had been struggling all afternoon was suddenly relieved, so he was depressed: the cat is still his child, I think so myself, he said that the cat doesn't need to go, I felt that everything was in order.

But when Liu Xia stood in front of the door and saw Cat, who was walking towards him carefully along the gravel road, holding a bowl of water, he was instantly relieved: so what if he is the second brother's child, he is now With me, healthy and happy, isn't that all right?

Liu Xia took the bowl, poured the water down in one go, and took the cat's hand: "Let's go, baby, let's go to the main room and wait. As soon as the things are ready, your grandpa and the others should go down to worship the ancestors. Uncle will take you Send it down, you put it down to worship the ancestors, and the younger uncle put it up to worship, is it right?"

The cat looked at him in surprise: "Do I have to go down? If I go down, you won't be unhappy, uncle?"

Liu Xia smiled and said: "It's not necessary to go down, but Grandpa will be happy if you go down.

As for the uncle, he should be the happiest one, because my child has grown up when he starts to worship the ancestors! "

The cat jumped up happily grabbing his hand, and asked with bright eyes: "To be able to worship ancestors is to grow up? Uncle, I will grow up to be as big as you soon, right?"

Liu Xia laughed and ran with him: "Yes, he will be taller and bigger than my uncle in no time!"

Tablets for the ancestors of the Liu family and the gods of heaven and earth have been placed, and Sun Chang'e, Xiumei, and Su Xiaohui are placing sacrifices.

Liu Xia ran to the east side of the courtyard again and looked there. The cat was standing there holding Liu Changchun's hand, watching Sun Yufang place the sacrifices. The little guy also saw him and showed him a big smile.

Liu Xia raised his eyebrows, parted his mouth and almost laughed out loud. He pointed behind him, and mouthed to the little guy, "I'm over, I should start here too."

The little guy nodded, made a happy grimace at him, then followed Liu Changchun and knelt on the cattail mat, and on the other side of him was the dignified Liu Mao.

The winter sunset exudes the last soft light, and the sound of ancestor worship firecrackers echoes in the mountains.

Liu Xia rushed downhill, opened his arms, and let the little baby who ran back with a cheerful smile jump up and hang on his neck.

Twilight has risen, and warm lights are shining in the windows of the main room, and the smell of dumplings seeps through the doors and windows, wafting into the light night.

Liu Xia laughed and ran into the main room with the cat in his arms. They wanted to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new spring in the warm cave dwelling and delicious dumplings.
