Crossing the green wheat ears

The next day, Xiyuan and his grandfather started to pack their things before dawn. The two of them left the inn as soon as the sky became pale. They came to the intersection with the car handle and waited.

Xiyuan finally realized what it means to return home like an arrow. Last night, he thought over and over again, thinking about grandma, thinking about parents, thinking about what they are doing at home right now; what he misses most is the two little guys at home, right? He refused to enter the house, stood at the courtyard gate and looked west, looking forward to the return of his brother and grandfather; he was not at home these days, and no one gave them snacks, would they all lose weight; did any children bully Wei Cheng... ...Xiyuan felt that the more he thought about it, the more outrageous he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he missed him.At this time, the grandfather patted Xiyuan on the back with his big hand, and the grandfather did not fall asleep. He was also thinking about the people and things at home, watching the eldest grandson toss and turn, so he comforted Xiyuan, and Xiyuan was honest. , let myself count sheep, and slowly fell asleep.

Thinking about it carefully, I have been here for a year. From being at a loss at the beginning, to being relieved later, to slowly liking here, and now to worrying about my family, it only took a year .A year is enough to change a lot of things, and Xiyuan doesn't know how he gradually integrated into the family. In short, he no longer regards himself as a spectator, but truly regards himself as a member of the family .The carriage was heading east, the sky was very high and blue in early autumn, and the rising sun was just rising from the treetops in the distance. Facing the cool autumn wind, Xiyuan looked at the scenery around the road, and felt in his heart. thinking about...

Sitting in a carriage was very fast, and the three of them arrived in Yansui County in only two and a half days.Along the way, grandpa and the driver, Lao Zhao, chatted away when they had nothing to do. The two had already chatted very well, so when they arrived in Yansui on the third morning, grandpa discussed with the driver, hoping to send them to Lianhua At home in the village, my father and I really couldn't take so many things.This was also discussed by Grandpa and Master Xiyuan the night before.Originally, they were somewhat wary of the driver, but now that they arrived in Yansui, the two of them became more courageous and dared to hand over their family details.After all, there are still 35 miles to go, and I can't ask someone to give it away for free, so grandpa decides to give the car handle an extra [-] cents. Of course, Xiyuan will not object, and Lao Zhao agrees without hesitation.It was still early days, and he also wanted to make some money.

35 miles away, the carriage arrived in more than an hour. Just after turning the corner, we arrived at the pond where geese and ducks were often released four miles west of the village. Far away, Xiyuan saw an adult leading two The little one was looking over here, "Cheng Zi, Xiao Wei," Xi Yuan shouted loudly.

"Wow, woof..." Mao Doujiao, who was standing by the pond, froze his ears and ran towards the car. The tiger behind was stunned for a while, and saw that it was Xiyuan and Grandpa, and followed behind Mao Doujiao while yelling.Mao Doujiao and Huzi are now half-grown dogs, Mao Doujiao is more like a wolf dog now, and it is easy to keep silent, but there must be something wrong; to answer.

At this time, the two small figures under the willow tree also rushed towards the carriage like arrows, and Xi Mingwen also strode this way from behind.

"Brother, brother,"

"elder brother,"

The two little guys ran and yelled loudly.

"Slow down, don't fall." Xi Yuan also jumped out of the car anxiously.The handlebar hurriedly stopped the carriage, and grandpa couldn't bear to get out of the carriage, looking at the two little guys cheerfully.

"Grandpa, brother!"

"Grandpa, brother!"

Running to the front, the two children hit Xiyuan's arms like small cannonballs, knocking Xiyuan back, and his grandfather hurriedly supported him from behind.The two children hugged their elder brother and did not let go, laughing foolishly.

"Xiaoyuan didn't say that he would be back in more than ten days. The two of them have been standing here since the tenth day and looking at the road for a whole day. Why don't they go home." Xi Mingwen also rushed over, and said to Xi Far and grandpa said.

"These two little fools." Xiyuan smiled and tugged the ears of the little guys twice, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng were not annoyed, and looked at their brother with flushed faces.

"Is the journey going well?" Xi Mingwen asked. Although he was not good at words, he had been thinking about his father and eldest son who were away from home these days.

"Very good, everything that needs to be done is done." Grandpa didn't elaborate, "I'll talk when I get home." He helped Xiyuan carry the two little guys into the carriage. Strangely, he fumbled around on the carriage, but it was actually a flatbed cart, and there was nothing on it except the things Xiyuan bought.

"Well, okay, Dad, you and Xiaoyuan go back first, and I will catch up with the geese and ducks, and I will go back immediately." Xi Mingwen was also anxious. Now that he is back, he doesn't have to worry about safety, but on the one hand he misses his father and son, on the other hand I wondered what happened to what Xiaoyuan said.

Grandpa and Xiyuan got into the carriage again, and the carriage "got to get" to the village.In the carriage, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng obediently sat beside their elder brother, bouncing along with the carriage, their faces full of surprise.

"Are you back?" When I met villagers on the road, someone greeted them warmly. They lived in the same village and knew each other. Moreover, after leaving home for so many days, it was impossible to hide it from everyone.However, the grandma and the others did not tell the truth to all the villagers, they just said that they were visiting relatives and going to buy something in Yansui County by the way.Some people in the village have never been to Yansui City in their entire lives, let alone Fucheng. Xiyuan didn't want to cause unnecessary discussions.

"I'm back, I have time to sit at home." Grandpa replied with a smile.

"Hey, good." Because the carriage was running fast, it pulled down the walking villagers in a while.Fortunately, Xiyuan's house is at the top of the village, and it is noon now, the autumn harvest has not yet started, and there are not many people on the road.

In front of the courtyard, grandma, mother, second uncle, and two little guys from the second uncle's family were waiting there. "I count the days and it's almost the end." Grandma began to wipe the corners of her eyes with her cuff again.

"Grandma, I'm back." Xiyuan jumped off the carriage and hugged grandma.

"Hey, hey! My eldest grandson is back, he's been thinking about grandma for the past few days!" Grandma hugged Xiyuan and didn't let go.

"Your grandma can't sleep at night because of thinking about it. She always makes mistakes during the day. She only fed the chicken that day and forgot to drink water for the chicken. I wonder why the chicken is not hungry. Why is it barking in the fence? !” Xi Mingwu added with a smile beside him.

"Well, it's the one I remembered!" Xi Mingwu's eldest son Xiyang confirmed loudly.Xi Mingwu has two sons, the elder is Xiyang and the younger is Xiyong.The two children are aggressive, and they are also close to Xiyuan. Xiyuan likes them very much.While Xiyang was talking, he looked at the carriage, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng with envious expressions, and the same for the little Xiyong.

"Then, my grandma, it is necessary." Xiyuan said with a grin.While carrying Xiyang and Xiyong into the carriage.The family moved things down while talking, the four little guys were so rare that the carriage was too rare, Xiyuan didn't ask them to come down, until the things on the carriage were moved, he took the reluctant little ones out of the carriage .

"Zhao, why don't you go in and have a bite?" Grandpa said to the handlebar.The driver's surname was Zhao, and he told Xiyuan and his father that he was waiting for work every day at the chariot and horse dealership in the west of Yansui City, and that he would just use the car to find him there in the future.We walked together for two or three days, and there were some feelings. The people in the village are simple and not so fancy, as long as they look at each other pleasingly, they will warm up.

"No, I have to hurry home now, and I've been out for a few days, and I'm thinking about it at home." Lao Zhao replied to his grandfather while drinking the water his grandmother brought from a bowl.

"Then don't keep Xiao Zhao, and don't let the family worry about it." Grandma said as she entered the house, took two vegetable dumplings made of cornmeal, and stuffed them into Lao Zhao's hands, "Here, the pad for the noon, I just made it stuffed cabbage."

"Hey, good." Seeing the sincerity of this family, Old Zhao didn't refuse.

After paying the car money, Lao Zhao drove the carriage and left Xiyuan's house.Xiyuan's family returned to the house, and Ximingwu also came back with geese and ducks.The chickens, ducks and geese are screaming in the yard, the soybeans and tigers are running around wagging their tails, the grandma has already put the food on the kang table in the house, and Xiyuan and grandpa are talking about the experience of going to Fucheng to the family while eating , the four little guys were also crowded beside the kang table, eating the delicious food that my brother brought back from Fucheng.Dried fish in the left hand and snacks in the right hand, they can eat two things that don't match with relish.

"Father, it's better with our family. I sat in the big brother's house and listened to you chatting and the chickens, ducks and geese in the courtyard. I feel that life is very promising." The old man and Xi Mingwu sat chatting at the door of the main room, Xi Yuan I didn't sleep well yesterday and now I'm making up for it in the east room. The old man didn't want to sleep after noon. If he slept too much during the day, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"It's not Xiaoyuan's fault. It's not like you didn't know what your elder brother's house was like before."

"You are making tofu with your uncle first, and I heard from Xiaoyuan that if the family makes money this year, it seems that I can help you, and you will move back when the time comes." The old man still doesn't understand the second He didn't say what his son was thinking, and he didn't want his son to be in front of others in his heart.

"Father, really? What did Xiaoyuan say?" Xi Mingwu was very excited.

"Xiaoyuan didn't go into details, but I was thinking for you, so I specifically mentioned it to Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan means that this year he can only take care of his family, and he can't take care of you. When next year is about the same, you will Wait another year, dad is telling you something, don't tell anyone, not even your daughter-in-law, don't add trouble to Xiaoyuan." The old man instructed.

"I know, so I feel at ease. Dad, you think Xiaoyuan can really do it with Qian Daoer?" Xi Mingwu still had some doubts in his heart.

"Why not, what Xiaoyuan wants to do is thought out in advance, and it's not done on a whim." The old man took a sip of water, it's really hard work outside these days.

"You don't know our Xiaoyuan, such a small child, he will not be afraid when he arrives in Fucheng, he dares to talk to anyone, even dare to bargain with others, he will not suffer at all, in the future, he can't correct his mistakes." Grandpa thought about it Xiyuan praised his performance in Fucheng.

"This child, it's true, you say that neither the elder brother nor the elder sister-in-law are like this, how can Xiao Yuan be so capable!" After listening to the old man's detailed description of Xi Yuan's words and deeds in Fucheng, Xi Mingwu was also full of surprises.

"Let's not talk about your elder brother, even the three of you together may not be able to catch up with Xiao Yuan." The old man, like the old lady, began to praise the eldest grandson again.

"Yes, yes, your eldest grandson is a phoenix egg, there is nothing wrong with it." Xi Mingwu said with a smile.

"Don't believe me, just watch." The old man knocked on the threshold of the cigarette pot.

In the yard, grandma and Xiyuan's parents are feeding the chickens, ducks and geese. Originally, the ducks and geese should come back in the evening, so they don't need to be fed anymore, but Xi Mingwen came back early before that time, so he had to cut Some vegetables mixed with some bran to feed.The four little guys were rolling yellow mud balls head to head under the window sill. Now that Xiyuan was back, they didn't want to leave their brother, but he was sleeping, so they had to play in the yard until he woke up.

This waited until the sunset on the west mountain, and grandma had finished the meal before Xiyuan woke up.The four little guys in the middle went into the room to see if their brother was awake, but Xi Yuan was in a deep sleep and didn't notice it at all.When he woke up and opened his eyes, four little heads were lying on the edge of the kang looking at him, but the children were very sensible, knowing that his brother was exhausted and needed to rest, so they didn't make a sound.

When Xiyuan saw the appearance of the little guys, his heart softened.I'm not lazy anymore, I got up and showed my skills, and made four dishes: kelp shreds in soy sauce, dried shrimp and scallop vermicelli stew, steamed dried fish, and fried a cumin mushroom with the mushrooms picked by Ximing Wu yesterday. The fennel bought from Fucheng with great effort.Needless to say, the adults, the four little ones ate without raising their heads. It was great that my brother came back. These days, they could only eat some potatoes and corn baked by Xi Mingwen, which was incomparable to what my brother made.

Therefore, when Xi Mingwu wanted to leave the next day, the two little radish heads of his family hugged the courtyard gate and did not let go.It's so good at grandma's house, they don't want to go back to grandma's house.In the end, it was Xiyuan who spoke and asked the two little guys to stay, but it was explained in advance that they had to live in the Westinghouse with their uncle and aunt at night. As long as the two little guys could stay, there was no one who would not agree, and they jumped up happily.Xi Mingwu shook his head helplessly, he went home alone, he had been out for too long, he had to go back, if he could, he didn't want to go!
