Shangqiaotou Village, Qiaotou Town

When he was alone at home, Le Sheng went to Si Lao Nai's house to chat with him when he had time. The old lady was very happy to chat with him when she saw him coming. The old man in his life will often tell him some ways of "being a wife". Although the words are not so clear, but the old lady talks about it, and when she gets excited, she tends to regard Le Sheng as her daughter's education. for example:

"Le Sheng, this man is the god of our women. As the old saying goes, 'Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, marry a brick and carry you'. To be a mother-in-law, aunt and daughter-in-law, you must first respect God, My own man, my own mother-in-law and aunt don't respect him, how can I let outsiders respect him when I leave the house?"

"Le Sheng, the fourth grandma told you, sometimes this man is just like children, you have to coax him, good men are praised by your mother-in-law, when your fourth master was young, you were poor. I can’t afford to live for years, so I said at that time, he will definitely be a capable person in the future, you see, when he is alive, he will be one of the best in the village?” When the fourth grandmother said this, there was a look of disapproval in her eyes. The pride that his own man can't hide;

Le Sheng listened carefully to the words of the fourth grandmother, and took them all into his heart. In addition, the fourth grandmother often taught him how to cook and how to manage the house diligently, such as:

"Le Sheng, when you send something to others, if you can count them, it is best to count them. You have a spectrum in your heart. If someone sends you ten flat food (dialect, refers to dumplings), you know it in your heart, and you will send it back next time. When I was with others, I couldn’t send nine of them, so that’s what we call exchanges~”

"Le Sheng, how can I pour some oil into the stir-fry? Is it safe to eat? Haha..." Watching Le Sheng stir-fry a potato, he poured a large spoonful of oil, and the old lady was next to him to guide him. , the old man has a straight temper, and occasionally he likes to make a joke. Although it is a complaint, it is not uncomfortable. The hard-earned money of eight petals, we are even more blessed at home, we must let them eat well, but not waste... well, these are enough, more waste, less tasteless... ha ha ..."

The fourth grandmother is good at needlework. She is 60 years old. When she and Le Sheng are sitting on the kang and chatting, they are still sewing in their hands. Wash the old clothes that are rotten or torn and cannot be mended. Now, cut it into small pieces, put them together in various colors, and make a pair of curtains, curtains, pillowcases and pillowcases, which everyone says are beautiful; this old lady with rags will not be wasted. Cut the long ones and make short ropes. When planting melons and beans in the coming year, they can be used as kidnappers, and the remaining useless ones can also be used as fire starters.Le Sheng wants to do this needlework, but he is a novice in the field. With the small needle in his hand, he always feels that he can't hold it no matter how he pinches it. How can he fly the needle to lead the thread?The Fourth Grandma would sometimes throw him a small piece of rag and let him practice with it. At the beginning, if he didn’t pay attention, the needle from the other side of the cloth would pierce his hand. He often heard Lesheng, hissing, hissing Another sound... Hissing for a while, Le Sheng's job was done in style. Chu sewed a door curtain for his house, hung it up, and took it off again, thinking about hanging it up the day Hong Sheng came back.

It is true that Hong Sheng called back once a week. The two made an appointment. On this day, Le Sheng would sit in the courtyard of the brigade early. No matter when he answered the phone, he would sit there all day, looking forward to Will Hong Sheng call back again? Every time he speaks, it should not be too long, often less than 2 minutes, and it seems that someone on Hong Sheng's side is urging him to hang up the phone.

On the land at home, Le Sheng would go out early with his hoe based on the frequency of Hong Sheng’s hoeing in his memory, and go home before the sun was hot. Walking around, eating grass, letting the wind out; the chicks grew up very fast, and within two months, they ran all over the yard one by one.

In mid-August, a cloth seller came to the village. Le Sheng wanted to make cotton clothes for Hong Sheng. Now he only has two clothes, one for Chinese New Year and one for normal days; He took it off and folded it up and put it on the bottom of the cabinet. Lesheng had been in Qiaotou Village for three years, and his cotton clothes and trousers had also been three years old; The man brought two catties of cotton back from the town; the cutting and cutting were done by the hands of the fourth old lady, and Le Sheng learned from the side. Le Sheng just thought about Hong Sheng's happy look when he put it on, so the more he sewed, the happier he was, and the job at hand became smoother; when the work was finished, the fourth old lady praised him with a smile,

"We, Le Sheng, have a pair of dexterous hands, and we can even teach things. Look at the cotton clothes and trousers that they sewed for Hong Sheng. Who can tell that a boy sewed them!"

As soon as the cotton clothes and trousers were finished, Hong Sheng called back and said that there were ten days of autumn harvest on the seventh day of September, just in time for the "Frost's Descent"; counting the days, Hong Sheng will be back in eight days, Le Sheng It was a rare time when I came out of the brigade office without red eyes, trotted to the fourth grandmother's house, and shouted before entering the door,

"Fourth grandma, Hong Sheng will be back on the seventh day~"

Now the fourth grandma has already regarded Le Sheng as her own family. To put it more closely, it is similar to half a girl. When she heard this, the old lady also became happy.

"Oh, is it coming soon, today is twenty-nine..."

"Fourth grandma, there are still eight days, and Hong Sheng will be back in eight days!"

"Yeah, eight days is fast, are you happy?"

Le Sheng had a smile on his face, his heart was beating non-stop, he was happy, how could he be unhappy!I hope that the person in my heart will come back, but why is this day getting longer and longer? I used to chat with the fourth grandmother and do some work. The days are not so long. Why is it just eight days? It's getting more and more difficult; every day after lunch, I look forward to the dark, do the work at hand for a while, and then look out the window, why is it still not dark?I always have to watch it dozens of times a day before I can see it black...

On the seventh day of the seventh day, Le Sheng couldn’t fall asleep before five o’clock. He got up and hung up a new curtain, cooked half a pot of millet rice, fried a bowl of shredded potatoes and a plate of shredded pumpkin, and put them on the stove. I picked the biggest and juiciest tomato, cut it into pieces and sprinkled it with white sugar to marinate; everything was ready, and it was only 05:30, and the sky was still dark at the moment, and I finally endured it for a few more minutes, Le Sheng I couldn't sit still anymore, so I called Hei Bei, and in the dim light before dawn, I ran to the entrance of the village and sat on the mound to wait. After a while, I saw two big lights on the road coming from a distance, Le Sheng Suddenly he stood up, at this time Hei Bei was also standing, with his ears up; the headlights did not reach the entrance of the village, but stopped at the side of the road, only listening to the noisy voices, Hei Bei Bei yelled twice, then rushed forward, Le Sheng saw it, a smile appeared on his face instantly, and ran over; before Le Sheng reached, Hei Bei jumped and jumped on a person, happily Yes, the man saw him and was about to call someone, Le Sheng suddenly rushed over, hanging on him tightly like a koala, buried his face in his neck, and I don't want to move anymore.It took only two or three minutes for the headlights to stop. As soon as the people from Qiaotou Village arrived, they immediately drove away with the rest of the people; as soon as the other people responded and moved everyone's salute to the side, they turned around and saw Hong Sheng. A man was hung up, and a big black dog next to him was also groaning and licking at him, so he laughed and joked while carrying his own things,

"Have you seen who this is? Le Sheng?"

"Le Sheng, do you think Hong Sheng came back so early? Hehe..."

"Le Sheng, did you come here and wait in the middle of the night, or did you not sleep all night? Hehe..."

"Oh, Le Sheng, let go quickly, Hong Sheng made you roll your eyes..."

Le Sheng looked up and saw that Hong Sheng was looking at him with a smile, showing his big white teeth, so he murmured and buried his face back again. At this time, Hong Sheng patted him on the back and said,

"Le Sheng, let's go home first..."

Le Sheng ignored people, hummed and chirped twice like a puppy, and continued to hang on tightly; the people next to him were chatting and laughing and went to the village, Hong Sheng held Le Sheng's face in his hands, He kissed the small mouth fiercely, and was afraid that the people in front would turn around and see him, so he patted the koala on his body again and said,

"Le Sheng, miss me?"

"Hmm~" came a muffled sound from the neck,

"I miss you too, let's go, let's go home first, ah~"

Only then did Le Sheng raise his head, his eyes were red, and he got off Hong Sheng's body. The two of them got tired of crooked for a while, and then walked home with salutes; as soon as they entered the gate, Hong Sheng locked the door, turned around and hugged his wife He stopped talking after kissing him, hugged him all the way back to the house, threw the salute on the ground, and threw himself under him... At this moment, Le Sheng heard two "grunts" and heard it clearly. He pushed the person on him, blushed and said,

"Hong Sheng, are you hungry?"

Hong Sheng is busy "paining" his wife now, and said,

"Leave it alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he yelled "Gululu, Gululu" a few more times. At this moment, Hong Sheng raised his body embarrassingly, touched his stomach and said,

"Oh, it seems that I have to take care of it first~"

Le Sheng looked at the man in front of him with a smile, couldn't help but kissed again, and then got off the kang, and poured washing water for his man. Just after washing here, the food was already served on the small dining table, which moved Hong Sheng Yes, I couldn't help holding my daughter-in-law to eat again; this first meal was delicious, I ate two big bowls of rice, and there was not even vegetable soup left. After eating, Hong Sheng burped and said,

"My daughter-in-law is really capable. The food is so delicious that I almost ate the plate and the bowl!"

From the beginning to the end, Le Sheng's eyes were always glued to Hong Sheng's body, and his smiling and happy appearance caused Hong Sheng to hug the kang again without waiting for anyone to wash the dishes...
