Crossing the green wheat ears

The days passed quickly, and the first light snow fell in a blink of an eye. However, the snow did not fall heavily, and it melted away in a few days, but the weather gradually became colder, the ground began to freeze, and winter was coming.

A few days after the first snowfall, my uncle came to the west house suddenly.He seldom came here before, knowing that his family was poor and his relatives tried not to move around, so that nothing would attract people's suspicion.

If I don’t come to my sister’s house, I don’t want to make trouble for my sister. Now it’s different. My sister helped build the house, and the family has enough food. The whole family doesn’t know how to express their gratitude. They always want to do something for my sister’s house in return. But his sister's house is not short of anything, all he can think of is that Xi Wei always tells him that he wants to catch a bird and raise it for fun.

So, my uncle had nothing else to do, and came to deliver birdcages and birds to Xi Wei and Wei Cheng.

When he saw the birdcage his uncle mentioned, Xi Wei jumped up and hurried over to carry it by himself.Wei Cheng didn't resist the temptation, and ran over to take another birdcage.

The uncle was standing in the courtyard of the West House, looking at the joy of the two nephews, grinning, showing his white teeth.Although they don't know how to live, the grandma's family, including Xiyuan's mother, have a good habit, that is, they love to be clean.Even when the uncle and uncle were in tatters, they were still dressed cleanly. What's more, he was wearing the new clothes Xiyuan Niang made for him in summer, and he was in good spirits, a handsome guy.

"Uncle, is this the birdcage that my uncle made for me and my second brother?" Xi Wei lifted up the cage with great effort, teasing the birds inside. He is taller than his legs.

"Well, your uncle made a rolling cage, a bird cage. You two can use the rolling cage to roll Su Que'er in the future." The uncle showed Xi Wei how to use the rolling cage.

There are two birds in the cage, both with red heads and melon covers, one with a red belly, and the other without. My uncle said that they are called Su Que'er, and the one with the red belly is a male.

"I caught several, and these two are the best. The hair on the head cover is red and fresh, the eyes are big and energetic, and they scream loudly." The uncle showed off to Xi Wei with a smile.

"Really!" Xi Wei and Wei Cheng took the corn ears to tease, and the two Su Que yelled "Dulu, Dulu".

Xiyuan has never seen this kind of bird. When he was a child in his previous life, there were fewer wild birds and beasts at home. The destruction of nature by humans made creatures far away.

"It is said that pheasants are stupider than domestic chickens, black-bone chickens are stupider than pheasants, and Su Que'er is stupider than black-bone chickens. This sparrow is a dumb sparrow. You hang the rolling cage on a tree, and the oil seeds inside (Su Que'er) ) as soon as they called out, other Suqueers would fly here, and they would want to eat when they saw the ears of grain inside, and then they would fall into the cage, sometimes there could be dozens of them." Grandpa looked at the uncle Zha Said by the birdcage.

"Really?" Xiyuan was also surprised, there is such a silly bird?He thought pheasants were stupid enough.

"If you don't believe it, wait for the snow to fall, and you can roll the cage just by hanging it in the yard." Grandpa asserted.

"Ah? So good!" Xi Wei and Wei Cheng were excited. They used to use slingshots before, and they couldn't shoot one for a long time.

"Your uncle has put in so much effort! The birdcage is more laborious than building a house." Grandma also stood in front of the birdcage to watch, but her focus was not on the bird, but on the bird. on the cage.

"That's right, my uncle made it. Doesn't it look good, brother?" Xi Wei still remembered his brother's "revenge" back then.

"Yes, yes, that's your uncle, not my uncle, okay?" Xi Yuan was helpless, if he asked Xi Wei, who is better than his uncle and uncle, Xiyuan seriously doubted that Xi Wei's answer would be wrong It's him.

However, my uncle's craftsmanship is really good. The rolling cage is made of the most common sorghum stalks and wormwood stalks. It is in the shape of "pin", with five small windows and a door.It's more complicated just by looking at it, and I don't know how to tie it together bit by bit.

"His uncle has spent a lot of work on these two sparrow cages?" Grandma asked.

"Well, I went to Xiaowei Xiaxia, and I started to get pierced as soon as I left. First I got a piercing, and I thought it was not good, so I did it again." The uncle rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Did you get rid of these two sparrows?" Grandpa asked, no need to guess.

"I rolled under the old elm tree in the field, and I caught it for several days, hehe." The uncle smiled and showed his white teeth again.

"Quickly stop talking and ask his uncle to come and sit inside. Chengzi, Xiao Wei, you two can play with the cage in the room too, it's cold outside." Grandma let the uncle inside.

"It's okay, auntie, it's not cold." The uncle smiled foolishly.

"Come in even if it's not cold, hurry up." Grandma opened the door and let my uncle into the back room.Seeing her brother coming, Xiyuan's mother was very happy, thinking about what to cook for her.

"Sister, your house is really nice." This is the first time for my uncle to come to my sister's new home. Last year, when my sister's house was built, he and my eldest brother also came to help, but Xiyuan was not at home at that time and went to Yansui City , Later, when cleaning up the inside of the house, he didn't come. When we moved, the old man didn't let me come, saying that he didn't want to embarrass his daughter.

This is the first time he has seen his sister's new house, and the uncle feels that he is about to catch up with the landlord Lao Cai's house in Wande Town.Fuhezhuang is close to Wande Town, and my uncle goes for a walk whenever he has nothing to do, so he is familiar with Wande Town.

"Okay? Okay, you can stay for a few more days. Aren't our father and mother doing well?" The younger brother rarely came to the house, and Xiyuan's mother planned to keep him for two days.

"I can't live anymore. My father said that I won't be allowed to live here. I'm afraid I'll be annoying people here." When the old man and uncle were mentioned, he looked helpless.

"It's okay. Except for the old man and the old lady, the rest are your brother-in-law and nephew. Who can hate you."

"That's not going to stop, or you'll have to scold me if you don't go back."

The two sisters were discussing whether to stay or not, when Dayan walked in from the yard.

"Grandma, I heard from Xiaowei that his uncle is here?" Xi Wei couldn't stay at home at all, he had already carried the birdcage to show off to the children in the village, but Xiyuan stopped him for a long time, and told Wei Cheng to follow along, don't worry If the easy-to-make birdcage is broken, he will cry.

"Well, here you are, Yan'er, you are..." Grandma asked Dayan, Dayan would not inquire about my uncle for no reason.

"Grandma, let his brother-in-law stay here for one night. I didn't tell you last time. The girl in my natal village who is very close to me happened to be a shoe that I asked her for a few days ago. She will give it to me tomorrow." Here, see if you can let the two of them secretly see each other."

Grandma took a look at Dayan, just a shoe that looks like someone will come and bring it to you?This nonsense is made up.However, that daughter-in-law's grandma has actually seen it before, and she thinks it's good.

After the autumn harvest, people in the village were busy building walls. People from other villages heard about it, and some people came to watch the fun. Although they had done corvee work every year and knew how to do it, there were no walls in the villages of ten miles and eight villages. Only Lianhua Village was built. Everyone takes the fence as a novelty. Life in the countryside is too ordinary, and it is rare for people to be excited for a while.

During the slack season, people from other villages pass by Lianhua Village in groups of three or four, to have a look, to have a look, and to talk to each other if they are not familiar with each other.Some people think that the people in Lianhua Village are looking for trouble for themselves, but anyone who has a heart will know the importance of this matter.I envy someone in Lianhua Village who dares to take on the responsibility and can come forward to make things happen.

Before Dayan got married, when she was in her natal family, she had a pretty good sister, whose surname was Wang and whose name was Erya.After Dayan heard her grandma mentioned about Uncle Xi's marriage, she paid attention to it, and felt that the two of them were quite suitable.

When Erya came to Lianhua Village to see the excitement of the fellow villagers who were curious, she followed her for a while.She mainly wanted to come and see Dayan. Seeing that Dayan's family was doing better than expected, Er Ya was both comforted and envious.

Dayan understood what Erya was thinking, so she didn't talk nonsense, and led her to the village where she worked, and then went to Xi's house to drink water on the pretext of being thirsty, and led Erya to Xi's house.

At that time, the old lady and Mrs. Xiyuan were both there. Seeing that Dayan had brought a daughter, she was very enthusiastic about getting water and food for her. Dayan deliberately sat at the Xi's house for a while to let the Xi's family look at each other. He also took the opportunity to call Xiyuan out, and let Xiyuan take a look.

Dayan is familiar with the Xi family, and knows that most of their family's major affairs are decided by Xi Yuan, so she called everyone who can make the decisions.

When Er Ya left, Grandma looked at Xi Yuan and smiled.Xiyuan didn't understand yet, he simply thought that he was thirsty, so he took the sisters from the same village to visit and sit down.

But grandma has gone through a lot of things, so she almost guessed what Dayan meant.

Afterwards, the old lady asked Dayan carefully again, but Dayan didn't hide it, and said nothing, "Grandma, Erya is just as upset as I am. I'm a real parent. It's nothing serious about her parents. It's pretty good, but it's gone two years ago. Now Erya lives with her elder brother and sister-in-law. Her brother is an honest man, and her sister-in-law is a bit of a mess. Seeing that our family traded me for ten taels of silver, her sister-in-law seems to have started to use Erya too. I made up my mind, Erya cried to me several times because of this matter." Dayan learned everything about Erya's family from her grandma, and these things had to be put in the open, so as not to find out later, she would be blamed.

"How is this girl?" Grandma is most concerned about Er Ya herself, if she is also like Dayan, she doesn't mind spending more money to marry Xi's uncle.It is better to spend more now and marry a good one than to marry a bad one and have to worry about everything in the future.It can be regarded as spending money to buy peace of mind.

"Grandma, I think Erya is pretty good, anyway, she's better than me." Dayan laughed and laughed, feeling that she was selling melons to Mrs. Wang, "The work is similar to mine. What did we do when we were at my mother's house?" They are always together, and Erya works hand in hand and foot in hand, so there is no choice. Parents are living their lives, and when they are alive, they teach their daughters. If there is anything I don’t understand about life, I have to ask Erya."

"If you want to say it's great, it's not as good as me. She's not like me. She grew up in that kind of parents, and she can get ahead in everything. But she's not cowardly, she can make up her mind about things. What happened to me at that time was very troublesome at first. You can’t talk to others, you can complain to Erya if you have nothing to do, there are quite a few ideas that Erya gave me.” Dayan explained Erya’s temperament to grandma in detail.

"It's okay for me to see, but I have to look at the meaning of the Zhang family. We can still trust you as a girl." Grandma said kindly. After all, this is not the Xi family's own business. In the end, Xi Grandma's family is in charge.

"Okay, grandma, you can discuss it with my aunt and the others. If it's okay, I'll run around in the middle." Dayan is straightforward, and he speaks and does things with a cheerful spirit.

The mothers of the Xi family were trying to figure out whether the two of them would be suitable, but it happened that my uncle came here.

My uncle used to delay the marriage because of the poor conditions at home.Now that the family has built a tile-roofed house, they still have land, and the most important thing is that they have a good relative like the Xi family, and the young man himself is also capable.

When Dayan entered the yard just now, he sneaked a few glances. The young man is quite good-looking, with big eyes, a high nose, and angular, but his complexion is a bit dark. However, the villagers are exposed to the wind and sun all day long. There are a few white ones.

It seems that now it's not someone else who picks the uncle from the Xi family, but the uncle who wants to pick a daughter. I don't know if I can fall in love with Erya!Dayan herself is living a comfortable life now, and she also wants her good sisters to live a good life. She thinks that uncle Xi is good, he is good-looking, and he has a good temper. Those who honor the elderly on New Year's Day are enough for the elderly to eat and drink.

Although she doesn't know how to live, but look at Aunt Xi's family, there are people who can live in management, and they still live better than other families.Such a good family should be occupied by Erya, so as not to be snatched away.

Last time she secretly asked Erya, although Erya was shy and didn't say it clearly, she agreed in her heart, otherwise she would bring his brother and sister-in-law here, so it's impossible to find someone else!

No, I have to go back quickly, go back to my mother's house and tell Er Ya to come over tomorrow, a good marriage must not be missed.Man's fate is predestined, but luck is in his own hands, don't miss it when you can catch it.

Dayan and grandma calculated the total, then turned around and left the courtyard of the west house.

The uncle in the room didn't know it yet, and Xiyuan described vividly the process of catching the bird at that time.Xiyuan looked at his uncle like a playful child, matching Xi Wei, and wondered how strange his uncle was.

My uncle is 21 this year, and will be 22 next year. People of his age have already married, have several children, and their faces are covered with the vicissitudes of time. However, Uncle Xijia can still look carefree like children.Well, that's fine too, with a good mentality and a simple and happy life.
