Through 1979

Li Ran got up and rinsed his mouth with toothpaste, then wiped his face with a half-worn white towel, and went to the lobby to have breakfast.

Li Ma made the breakfast, and the staple food was porridge. Li Ran lost his appetite after eating it.

If it is like this every day for three meals a day, it doesn’t matter if you can’t keep your belly, people will subconsciously sloppy with the matter of eating, and quickly swallow their stomachs after a few casual strokes, just hoping to end it sooner.If this is the case for a long time, it is definitely not good for the stomach.

Turning to look at everyone, they all swallowed a bowl of porridge in a few gulps.

If you were hungry, Li Ran looked at the sky, it was only after five o'clock, although it was bright, but his stomach was not hungry at this time, so there was no need to gobble it up like this.

Seeing Li Ran stop, Mama Li asked with concern, "Why don't you eat, why is it uncomfortable?"

Li Ran shook his head, picked up the porridge and drank it. The current situation can't make him pick and choose, it's good to have something to eat.

Picked up the spicy radish and mixed it into the porridge, the porridge became a little salty. After tasting it, his mouth tasted a little better, and his appetite improved a little. Li Ran picked up the bowl and drank all the porridge in one gulp, showing that he was quite good, with a good appetite Also great.

After eating, Li's parents took up hoes, dustpans and other tools and went out to work.It is now July, the busiest time for farm work, harvesting rice, sweet potatoes, and corn are all gathered together.

Li Ran saw that elder brother Li picked up the tiger and put it into the bamboo basket on the fourth brother's back, and realized that he was also taking the tiger there.

Li Ran scolded himself inwardly. When he stayed with his grandfather before, the old man also talked about it. When the farmers were busy with farm work, almost all the families were mobilized. No one took care of the children, so they had to take them to the fields and put them in the fields. Watching on the slope.

As long as the children don't run around and have accidents, they can just play around.

Although Mrs. Li was dressed as a peasant woman, Li Ran always felt that she was different from most of the women here. She smiled gracefully, and I didn't see her speak loudly. The children were taught well, and the tiger was quite smart.

Huzi came back last night with such a dirty body, I think Mrs. Li wanted to take care of it, she was really powerless.

After thinking about this, how could Li Ran let the sisters-in-law of Li bring Hu Zi over there? If he left Hu Zi here, Father Li and the others would be more relaxed in their work, at least they don't have to keep things in their hearts all the time.

"Brother, let me take care of Huzi. I'm bored at home by myself, and Huzi can accompany me. Just don't take him there." Then he extended his hand to Brother Li.

Father Li thought about today's work, and nodded in agreement.

Today they were going to help with Uncle Yao's work, so it was good for Li Ran to bring Hu Zi by his side so as not to distract them.

After Li's parents left, Li Ran put Hu Zi in the courtyard, coaxing: "Hu Zi is playing here, my uncle will clean up the house, and I will take you out to play later, okay?"

Huzi thought he was used to adults doing things, so he stayed aside.

When Li Ran put him down, he didn't have any dissatisfaction. He took out the candy from his pocket and was flipping the candy wrapper. When he heard that he would go out to play later, he nodded happily: "Okay, I will go to Ergou to play later."

"Er Gou, who is Er Gou?" Li Ran asked suspiciously after hearing the name.

Children in rural areas often give their children some cheap names, thinking that such a child is easy to raise, and it is not uncommon to be called Ergou. The main reason is that Li Ran doesn't know where these Ergou are.

After the child explained, Li Ran realized that Ergou was a child from the family on the left, and was about the same age as Huzi.

The farm work has been busy recently, and the two children were brought by their respective parents, and they haven't played together for a while.

At this time, everyone had already gone out to work, and Ergou must have been taken out by his family. Li Ran had to make an appointment with Huzi to find Ergou together at night, and they went to the mountain together first.

Hu Zi frowned when he heard that he couldn't play with Ergou, but when he heard that he was going to the mountain, he relaxed: "Then uncle, go and help me dig out the bird eggs, and roast them to eat."

Li Ran was silent. He had never done such a thing as digging out bird eggs, but Li Ran would definitely do it before. Thinking of this, Li Ran nodded. Fortunately, he could climb railings, and climbing trees should be similar to this.

After cleaning the house, Li Ran picked up Huzi and went out with a basket on his shoulder.

After walking for a while, Li Ran put the tiger down without hesitation. He thought too well. Although the mountain is not too far away from Li's house, even a healthy boy in the mountain would want to be in the mountain when he was ten years old. It is also very difficult to carry a child up the mountain. He is not a 31-year-old adult man now.

After Huzi came down, seeing that his uncle couldn't move anymore, he stood there panting, and took Li Ran's hand by himself: "Uncle, I'll go by myself, let's go to the mountain quickly."

Along the way, Huzi basically led Li Ran, and Huzi knew exactly which way to go to the mountain.Li Ran originally planned to choose randomly when he didn't know the way, as long as he was facing the mountain and could walk to the periphery of the mountain.Who knows, bringing Huzi here is a counter-attack.

Hu Ziren was still too young, and he lost his strength after walking for a while, so Li Ran picked him up and continued walking.With Huzi leading the way, the two finally reached the foot of the mountain.

At this time, there is no need to guide the way, because this mountain road should be often taken by the villagers.The long grass around the road had already been chopped off by a machete, leaving only a few short broken branches sticking to the ground. If there were any long worms in it, it could be seen.

Li Ran stood here looking at the mountain, and asked Hu Zi if he knew where there was water.Huzi shook his head, Shanlu knew it was because he and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li came too often. As for the waterside, he was afraid that the children would run away and fall into the water. Brothers rarely took him there, so he naturally couldn't remember.

The screws had to be picked up by the water, and they had already reached the side of the mountain. If they just went back like this, Li Ran would not be reconciled.

Before Li Ran could think of a way, a voice came from behind him: "Eh, why are you here?"

Li Ran turned around and saw a boy in gray clothes standing behind him: "Shouldn't you be helping your family? Why are you here?"

Li Ran looked at the boy in silence, probably because he was familiar with Yuan Shen.Li Ran sighed in his heart, he really wanted to live with this identity, but he didn't even have the memory of his original body, what would happen in the future.

Seeing that Li Ran ignored him, the boy said, "What's the matter, you're dumb." Then he took out a straw and teased Huzi's chin, "Come and call uncle."

Perhaps Huzi felt itchy, so he stretched out his hand to open the grass: "Bad guy." After he finished speaking, he ignored him, and buried his face in Li Ran's arms, Li Ran patted his back lightly with his hands.

The boy was annoyed by these words, turned his head and said to Li Ran angrily: "Is this necessary? Why don't you just take off your pants once, hold grudges for so long, and teach children to talk nonsense."

Huzi heard this, and retorted in a muffled voice: "That's not true, the uncle came back crying that day, you are a bad person."

The boy was angry: "I am your uncle too."

Li Ran was speechless. He just came here and discovered some things he couldn't accept before. They happened to his predecessor one after another, so he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Li Ran talking to him, the boy smiled and said, "Don't be angry anymore, really, you cried back the other day, which made me afraid to see my aunt these days. I'll get some pigweed." He shrugged Empty backpack: "It was over there, but I came here just because you were here."

Li Ran looked in the direction of his finger, and he could only see a large green field and scattered houses. He really didn't know where he was pointing.

"I came up to pick up some screws and wanted to take some back."

The boy shook his head in disapproval when he heard this: "That food is delicious, but it's troublesome and time-consuming. If you have that time, it's better to go pick some wild vegetables, which is more cost-effective."

That's what he said, but he took the tiger from Li Ran's hand: "I can help you, how can you take care of it by yourself." After he carried the child over, Li Ran sent a letter that he was half taller than himself head.

They really needed help, and Li Ran did not refuse to follow.

The two hugged each other alternately and reached the mountain.On the way, Li Ran talked with the boy for a while, and then he knew that the boy was Hu Jianjun, a very vulgar name, he was his classmate and friend, and also the child of Li's mother and sister. Li Ran's pants.

In rural areas, this is a common means of bullying or "playing".

In the past, Li Ran also worked with him, pulling off other people's pants, but he couldn't stand it when it happened to him, and cried back.

Li's mother is a spoiled child, although she didn't have the nerve to go and beat up Hu Jianjun, but at that time she kept a straight face all day long.After Hu Jianjun saw it outside, he didn't dare to approach Li's house within three feet.

This time I was cutting pigweed outside, and when I saw Li Ran, I quickly followed him.

With the help of Hu Jianjun, Li Ran and Hu Zi walked to the water's edge, and picked up a small basket of screws after a while.There is only one pig in the house, so many are enough, so Li Ran stopped Hu Jianjun and asked him to accompany him to dig out the eggs.

The bird egg was naturally taken out by Hu Jianjun, and Li Ran stood below to watch.

Hu Jianjun is also a good hand at digging out bird eggs. He didn't miss this job when he saw it, and he took two bird nests down in a while.

Li Ran put the tiger aside early, cleared an open space under the tree, and lit a fire.

Huzi knew that there would be bird eggs to eat, so he sat there obediently and did not run around.

After the three of them finished consuming the eggs together, Li Ran helped Hu Jianjun cut some hogweed, and then the two of them picked some wild vegetables and planned to go home.Before going home, Li Ran repeatedly declared that he was really not angry, and Hu Jianjun showed a relieved expression.

It is July now, and the common wild vegetables are purslane and golden cauliflower.

These two are good dishes whether they are cold or porridge.

Li Ran carried the basket on his back and led the tiger. Although he felt a little pain from the pressure on his shoulders, he was still full of joy.

When the pigs are fattened and sold, the family will have more income.

Thinking of the other four precious chickens at home, Li Ran decided to dig some earthworms for them tomorrow. He only hoped that after eating them, they would really grow fast and lay more eggs.

Back home, Li Ran tentatively threw some into the pig trough.The pig grunted and chirped a few times beside the pig trough, but finally kept silent.

Li Ran looked at the screws in the back basket and frowned, then took a stone hammer and smashed the screws, stirred some bran and pigweed in the bucket, threw them into the pot and boiled them for 10 minutes, and then poured them to the pigs.

This time the pig lowered its head and arched its nose. After a while of testing, it finally opened its mouth and ate it. Then it got out of hand and started eating happily.

Looking at this, Li Ran couldn't help feeling proud while letting go of his heart.

After all, it's not free food.
