Shangqiaotou Village, Qiaotou Town

Hong Sheng remembered very clearly that this day happened to be the first day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the day Le Sheng came back. During these fifty days, he did not know anyone. On the kang, he stared blankly out of the window, but he never "escaped" again.That night, he was woken up by Le Sheng's overly strong hug, and before the man had time to wear his clothes, he turned down the kang and found the things they used on the day of their "marriage" from the cabinet, touched them, After touching it, he rushed out of the yard again; Hong Sheng thought that Le Sheng was "ill" at the time, so he chased after him to cover his clothes. The first snow of this winter fell outside, and snowflakes fell in large groups, filling the sky. Fei Wu, in such a weather, Le Sheng "woke up" without any warning, Le Sheng who "woke up", hugged him and talked all night, about a long "nightmare", and about a long "nightmare" He is full of thoughts.

Le Sheng "woke up", and Hong Sheng also came to "live". As long as he is still there, as long as the two of them are together, this day can go on. He also has Lesheng, Heibei, and Dali, and their family also has a "Phoenix" brand chain box.

During the days when Le Sheng came back, Hong Sheng spent most of his time taking care of him. In the rest of the time, he tied up more than 30 brooms and made a dozen or so baskets. He thought that if he went to the town to sell these Now, the two of them can have a good year.After Le Sheng "woke up", he became more attached to him than before. Even when he was working, Hong Sheng often turned around and could touch Le Sheng's shoulder and meet his smiling eyes. There was no one around, so Hong Sheng secretly kissed his little mouth, and kissed him again!

People who go to the market in the town recently can always see a tall young man pushing a large chain box with six or seven large brooms and two or three baskets on the back of the car. The beams of the car are wrapped in cotton cloth. There is always a young man wearing rabbit fur earmuffs and a big red scarf next to him, and there is always a big black dog next to the young man; judging from the young man's clothes, he looks like a young master of a landlord's family , and this guy has a silly smile on his face. This kind of combination doesn't look like a businessman, but they are indeed doing business; it may be because such a strange combination is more attractive, so their business is not bad. After a day, come on Often many people will ask them the price of the broom basket.Hong Sheng felt that Le Sheng was really his "lucky star". The brooms and baskets that were originally planned to be sold out in one winter were all sold out in less than ten days; What else can I do before the Spring Festival.So two days later, the two of them and a dog went to the town again with straws full of red candied haws. Their candied haws seemed to be a little different from others. Secondly, there are more sunflower kernels stuck to each bunch of candied haws than others; I didn't expect that by noon, more than ten bunches had been sold.Before noon, Hong Sheng took Le Sheng home by bike. If he was alone, cold water would be fine, but Le Sheng’s body hadn’t fully recovered, so no matter what he sold, he would bring it with him. Le Sheng, go home at noon and make him a hot noodle soup or pimple soup; although he has to run back and forth twice a day, Hong Sheng runs happily and steadily.

On the way back, Le Sheng sat on the girder, as if nestled in Hong Sheng's arms. When Hong Sheng was riding the bicycle, he was panting heavily, and the scorching air was blowing against his ears, which made people feel so uncomfortable. peace of mind.After lunch, the two of them set off again with a dog. When they left the village, the little children in the same village saw their bright red candied haws and yelled that their mother must buy a bunch. But everyone knew that in order to find a happy life, the land was barren for a year. After pushing and pushing, he finally took the money.Le Sheng seemed to be very happy about the successful "business". He followed Hong Sheng's example on the way and shouted,

"Selling candied haws~"

He yelled, and Hong Sheng yelled in unison,

"Sweet and sour candied haws~"

Le Sheng laughed, the more he shouted, the happier he was,

"It's delicious~"

"Delicious candied haws~"

As a result, when passing by a village, someone asked,

"Hey, how much is a bunch of candied haws?"

This afternoon, the two of them did not go to the town, but tried to sell candied haws through the villages and alleys. When I got home, I spread out the corners and corners I earned on the kang, counted them, and the exhaustion of the day seemed to be dissipated in the two of them playing.

This year, Hong Sheng borrowed ten catties of buckwheat noodles from his second aunt and ten catties of cornmeal from his fourth master. With the little money he earned a year ago, he went to the town to buy some candies and cut a catty of pork; After washing and dressing up, I am still very happy. Sometimes Lesheng would ask,

"Hong Sheng, didn't we go hunting Shan Xing'er this year?"

"Hmm~"

"Is it because I can't fight Shan Xing'er when I'm asleep? Hong Sheng, next time I fall asleep, you'll wake me up as soon as possible. When we wake up, we can go to fight Shan Xing'er!" "

"Good~"

"Hong Sheng, did we eat mooncakes on August [-]th?"

"Eat, you, me, and Hei Bei have all eaten~"

"Oh, then why can't I remember, Hong Sheng, people can eat mooncakes when they are asleep?"

"Can eat~"

"Hehe... that black shell is asleep, can I eat it?"

"Hei Bei can eat even if he is asleep!"

Le Sheng's bad memories seem to be as he said, like a dream, and he has forgotten them. Of course, now Hong Sheng also believes that for them, it is just a dream. That's it, it's all over.Hong Sheng didn't ask the fourth master what he thought of Le Sheng's life experience, and he didn't want to guess why Le Sheng was imprisoned in a nursing home. He remembered that the nurse in the nursing home said that Le Sheng's real name was "Gao Xu", and everything about Gao Xu Hong Sheng doesn't want to know, even he often thinks selfishly that the "Gao Xu" in this world is dead, and now there is only Wang Lesheng, Wang Hongsheng alone.

This year, Hong Sheng didn't have the money to change Le Sheng into new clothes, so he couldn't prepare four small bowls for him, but Le Sheng was still happy like a flying bird, chirping around him and never leaving him. He said,

"Le Sheng, when we earn money next year, I'll buy you a better new dress."

Le Sheng held his arm and said,

"Hong Sheng, these are new clothes~"

"Le Sheng, I don't even have four small bowls this year~"

"Hong Sheng, I will eat whatever you cook. Is everything you cook delicious?"

"Le Sheng, let you suffer with me~"

"Hong Sheng, I haven't endured hardships, it's sweet to eat with you!"

This year, the children who came to Hong Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings learned to say "Brother Le Sheng, Happy New Year!" There is a candied haws; Le Sheng will still say "Happy Chinese New Year!" to them, he will still wear his red scarf, people will still make fun of him like a little daughter-in-law, and he will still feed Hong Sheng whatever is given to him by others. mouth...

After the Chinese New Year, Hong Sheng started to keep busy, following his master to work as a carpenter, and made a few small stools and two small tables for Le Sheng to draw flowers, varnish and prepare for smoking. Go to the town to sell and sell it; as soon as the carpenter's work is over, he will start spring plowing. This year he rented an extra five acres of land. Yes, seeing such a daughter-in-law of his own, Hong Sheng was gratified, but even more distressed.In the yard, the vegetables that should be planted are still planted, and the money obtained from selling small stools and small tables is used to catch two pullets and a small rooster with the old grandmother's house; Quite a lot. We hoeed twice in previous years, but this year we had to hoe four times. Hong Sheng often went out quietly carrying his hoe before dawn; Le Sheng learned how to cook. Like other young daughters-in-law in the village, millet rice was sent to Hong Sheng's field; I remember the first time I saw such Le Sheng appearing in the field, Hong Sheng who had breakfast that day almost cried out.

Because of the experience of selling candied haws in villages and alleys in winter, Hong Sheng decided not to rest this summer. He took out his little savings and started a small business selling popsicles. A wooden box was placed in the back seat of the car. Once put, put a small cotton quilt inside to keep warm, and the popsicles that come back will not melt in a day; this summer, the children in more than 30 villages in Qiaotou Town seem to have heard Hong Sheng's cry: "Sorbet ice cream Hey~" Le Sheng would follow at first, but later he found that Hong Sheng was always sweating when he was riding a bicycle, and he had to carry him, so he didn't go; every day he took Hei Bei to go for a mule walk in the morning, and he made a meal at noon , sat on the mound at the entrance of the village and began to wait; seeing Hong Sheng riding a bicycle from a distance, he galloped to meet him one by one.

This year, Hong Sheng always felt that life passed quickly, and he was often busy. This month was over without knowing it. The money he earned was used to live, and he kept a portion for capital, and another portion was left. He paid off the debt, but when he took 20 yuan to the fourth master’s house to pay back bit by bit, the old lady pushed him out, saying that they were not short of money for the time being, and asked him to use it first and buy some for Lesheng. It was delicious, and when he left, he asked him to take a white flour bun for Le Sheng.

When the fourth grandmother chats with people, she will say,

"Our family, Hong Sheng, is a good boy. When something happens, we can only help in this way. These years, none of my children are around, sweeping the snow every year, and Hong Sheng doesn't need to be called every time. Came here, finished sweeping, and left without even drinking his saliva; his fourth master is now too old to do work, and came as soon as Hong Sheng was called, without any complaints; Pay it back, even if you don't pay it back, it's not enough to pay him!"

Maybe it was God's favor. This autumn, Hong Sheng's family had a good harvest again. They sold the grain and paid the agricultural tax. The remaining money was sent to the fourth old master as soon as possible. pork.
