A good wife should raise her from an early age

Lin Haoxi first met Song Yuhui in the summer of 2006.

The summer sun was very strong. He was carrying a black backpack, standing under the shade of a tree in front of the door of a farmhouse, slightly looking up at the leaves above his head, with a dark brown suitcase beside him, and occasionally Two chicks flapped their wings and ran past him.

There was a sound of beeping at his feet, and when he looked down, a chick with fluff on his body was pecking vigorously at the suitcase next to him.The corners of Lin Haoxi's lips curled up slightly, as if he didn't regret his suitcase at all.

A young man carrying a bamboo basket came from behind, and the little yellow chicken pecking at the suitcase immediately kicked its paws and chirped, and flapped its small wings to meet the young man.

Lin Haoxi turned around and looked at the person who was walking from behind. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a yellowed shirt with a pair of washed white trousers underneath, and a pair of pull-back shoes on his feet. The shoes were very old, but But it was washed very clean.

"Are you the brother that grandma said to come?" The young man looked at Lin Haoxi and asked, with a slight smile on his face, such a pure smile looked like a child who had never experienced anything in the world.The bright eyes are like glass beads, and the sun-tanned face gives people an indescribable feeling, as if they are a little shy, probably because they don't often meet strangers.

Lin Haoxi said, "It should be."

At this time, the person in charge of the activity who was chatting with the owner of the farmer came out, stood on the threshold and said, "Haoxi, come in."

Lin Haoxi lifted the suitcase on the ground, and the boy said, "Do you want me to carry it for you?"

"Need not."

Lin Haoxi carried the suitcase and entered the farmer's house. The person in charge had already discussed with the farmer.In the next month, Lin Haoxi will live in this farmhouse.

With the rapid urbanization, children who have lived in cities for a long time are undoubtedly unfamiliar with life in the countryside.An urban child who has no worries about food and clothing since childhood, he has not experienced the hardships of life.The society pays more and more attention to the growth of the only child in the city. Many parents have a headache for their children, but because of the heavy work, there is no way to give them more company and education.

A local education and training institution seized this business opportunity and planned the "Rural Life Experience" activity this time.This event is mainly aimed at school students in first- and second-tier cities, ranging from junior high school to university.The purpose is to let urban children experience the hardships of rural life, so as to establish a positive outlook on life, values ​​and world outlook.

Most of the students in this event were junior high school and high school students, and Lin Haoxi was one of the few college students who signed up.He paid the registration fee of 8000 yuan out of his own pocket, packed his things and followed the activity group to this village in the mountains.

The event lasted for one month, and there were more than 50 stations, each station had five students, and each station was in charge of two persons in charge sent by the organizer.This month they will act as nannies and take care of the five students in case of emergencies.

Lin Haoxi came to this village with four other students, two boys and two girls, aged between 17 and [-].The person in charge settled their residence, and finally came to arrange for the older Lin Haoxi.

The person in charge introduced Lin Haoxi's situation to the farmer, and then introduced the situation of the farmer's family to Lin Haoxi.The head of the farmer's family is named Song. There are only two elderly people and one grandson in the family. The grandson is the boy Lin Haoxi met just now, named Song Yuhui.

The Song family's house is an old house with a history of several decades. The white walls are mottled and mottled. Unknown plants grow on the black tiles of the roof. When it rains heavily, the house will leak some water.

The room was tidy, but the wooden windows with large barrel mouths were a bit worn out, and the light that came in fell on the uneven ground.Looking from the window, there is an earthen wall behind the house, with green vines growing on the wall, and unknown small flowers blooming among the green leaves.

Lin Haoxi put down the backpack on his shoulders, and put it on the neatly folded bed.

There are not many things in the room, the bed on which he sits, and two stacked wooden boxes in the corner are several times the size of his suitcase.There was also a desk by the window, with tiled legs, and a bench in front of it.

"Hello, do you want me to help?"

A gentle voice came, and Lin Haoxi looked up at the young man at the door. He could tell that he didn't speak Mandarin very often, so his speech was not fluent, but his enunciation was very clear, and there was still a bit of shyness in his voice.

"Come here." Lin Haoxi made a 'come here' gesture to him.

Song Yuhui entered the door, looking a little reserved, and it could be seen that he was very shy.

"Where is the toilet?" Lin Haoxi asked.

Song Yuhui seemed to be a little surprised, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then a smile appeared on his face, "I'll take you there."

Lin Haoxi followed Song Yuhui out the door, turned right and walked a dozen steps to the place where pigs and cattle were raised.

Song Yuhui pointed to a small wooden house not far from the pigsty, "The toilet is here."

Lin Haoxi's complexion changed, and he looked into the so-called toilet.

There is a little gap between the wooden planks surrounding the hut, people outside can vaguely see the inside, and people inside can clearly see the outside.The bottom of the hut is hollowed out, and seven or eight planks are placed on top of it, and two holes are dug on the plank, which is the toilet.

This was the first time Lin Haoxi saw a real hut, and he felt a bit of struggle in his heart, and said to Song Yuhui beside him, "You go back first, I will go back by myself later."

"Ah."

After Song Yuhui left, Lin Haoxi looked at the pair of white flat shoes on his feet, and bravely took the first step towards the hut. There was a stench inside, and several flies crawled up and down through the gaps in the wooden boards.Lin Haoxi closed the door, held his breath and quickly resolved to leave immediately.

A few trees were planted in front of the Song family's house, and a few small wooden benches were placed under the trees to enjoy the shade.

The kitchen is adjacent to the main room, and there is a door in the middle.A simple small shed was built with bark outside the kitchen. Farm tools were placed in the shed, and a large wooden barrel was placed against the earth wall.The water in the wooden barrel overflowed to the edge of the barrel, flowed into the small ditch next to it, and flowed down the mountain along the small ditch.

Song Yuhui said that the water was brought down from the mountain, and it was only used for washing things, and the water for cooking and drinking had to be picked from other places.In this big mountain, it is difficult to bring in tap water, and all the water from mountain springs is used.Some farmers also dig a well in front of their house for the convenience of water.

In the kitchen, Grandma Song was cooking, and the firewood was burning on the stove, making crackling noises.Vegetables were being fried in the pot, and the aroma mixed with the smell of firewood wafted out.

Song Yuhui scooped the water in the big wooden bucket with a ladle made of gourd and melon, and put it into the wooden basin to wash the vegetables. This vegetable was picked from the field by him today, and it was very fresh.

Lin Haoxi put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood beside him boredly and watched him wash the vegetables, and talked to him casually, "What's your name?"

Song Yuhui, who was squatting on the ground washing vegetables, raised his head and looked at him, with that smile still on his face, "My name is Song Yuhui."

"How big?"

"15 is old."

"Are you in junior high school?"

"I just graduated from junior high school this year."

"That's pretty fast."

"I didn't go to preschool, I went directly to first grade." After washing the dishes and putting them in the basket, Song Yuhui looked up and asked, "How old is brother Haoxi?"

"20."

"Are you in college?"

"Well, freshman."

"That's great." He still had a slight smile on his face and a hint of envy in his tone, lowering his head and continuing to wash the dishes.

Lin Haoxi was a little moved. He wanted to say that you could go to college in another three years, but he never said so.

The TV placed in the main room was turned on. The TV was an old antique with a bulky box behind the screen.Song Yuhui handed the TV remote control to Lin Haoxi, "Here."

Lin Haoxi looked at the remote control handed over, and understood what he meant, "I don't have anything to watch on TV, just adjust it."

Grandma Song finished the meal and set it on the Eight Immortals table. While setting the bowl, she said to Lin Haoxi who was watching TV, "Haoxi, come and eat."

Lin Haoxi responded, walked over and sat down.Grandma Song filled a bowl of steaming rice and placed it in front of him.He glanced at the dishes on the table, and the plate of chicken with fungus and garlic bacon was placed in front of him, while the pile of fried vegetables and a plate of pickled vegetables were placed far away from him.

The two elderly people like to drink some homemade wine before meals.Grandma Song kept picking chicken for Lin Haoxi, "Haoxi, come on, eat more, treat this place as your own home, don't be polite."

"will not."

Then he put another piece of chicken wing into his bowl, "This chicken wing is good."

Lin Haoxi is really not used to picking up food, "Grandma, you eat, I will pick up whatever I want to eat."

Grandpa Song took a sip of his wine and said, "If you want to go out to play, let Xiao Hui go with you."

"En." Lin Haoxi responded.Although he knew that he was able to live here because the organizer gave 2000 yuan to the Song family, but the Song family was very enthusiastic, which he personally felt.

The chicken on the table Song's family didn't go to the chopsticks much at all, and when they went to the chopsticks, they picked up a piece or two of fungus. Song Yuhui was even more in love with the fried vegetables and pickled vegetables, and Lin Haoxi probably understood that this dish was specially for him.

In this rural area, there is not even a place to buy vegetables. Most of the food at home is self-sufficient, and meat is not available every day.Some families kill pigs, and the neighbors will share some of them, or some people will pick up pork to sell every now and then.As for vegetables, they can only be self-sufficient, and eat what they grow.
