Hello, 1983

Sitting on the pier, Gao Wenxue took out a small cloth pocket from his pocket, took out the cut grass paper from it, grabbed the cigarette leaves, and started rolling cigarettes.

He originally smoked cigarettes, but that was too expensive, so he followed the local customs and changed to cigarettes.

Maybe it was because he was still excited, his fingers didn't obey, and the cigarette paper was twisted.

After striking a match, Gao Wenxue ignited the barrel of the cannon that was finally rolled out.

Squinting his eyes and taking a deep breath, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly, Qingshan, I will go to your mother to propose marriage in a while. If I want to marry your eldest sister, I must marry!

After he finished speaking, he also took out a crumpled money order and shook it: Look, this is the manuscript fee I received. It's twelve yuan, enough to buy four boxes of gifts to come and propose marriage!

Phew—Liu Qingshan let out a long breath, completely blowing out the last trace of anger in his heart.

Brother Wen, aren't you stupid? How can you do this on your own? Go back to the supply and marketing agency to buy a gift, and then ask your uncle and aunt to be your matchmaker.

Also, to propose a marriage, go to my grandfather's house, do you know?

Gao Wenxue nodded vigorously: Yes, yes, I'll go right now. Qingshan, when I come back, I'll buy you candy!

Be careful on the road!

Seeing Gao Wenxue riding a bicycle and swaying, Liu Qingshan shouted from behind.

This is his future eldest brother-in-law, dear, don't fall into the river.

Finally, I will no longer watch the elder sister live a lonely life! Liu Qingshan couldn't help wiping his wet eyes.

What could make him happier than this?

It was only at this time that the two and a half young men in the back came together, and the big head muttered: Hey, did the glasses drink the old man's urine today?

According to the local people, whoever drinks the piss of the old man will smirk all the time.

The big head is a bit serious, so Liu Qingshan ignored him, and the three brothers went into the village together.

A middle-aged man approached, with a straw hat on his head, and the brim of the hat was wrapped in cloth, so as not to play around.

He was wearing an old white vest on his upper body, but on the front of his chest, there was a line of characters printed in a semi-circle: Outstanding Party Member of Qingshan Commune as a souvenir, with the year 1973 printed in small characters in the middle.

Uncle Captain. Liu Qingshan greeted him.

Dad, what are you doing?

The big head shouted innocently.

As for Er Biaozi, he blinked twice, and then quietly began to slip away.

This is Zhang Guofu, the captain of Jiapigou, and he is also the big man's father.

I saw him striding over, strangling Big Head's neck, and scratching his son's arm with the other hand.

With a stab at it, several white Daozi appeared.

Liu Qingshan remembered a little: it seems that the adults in the village use this trick to verify whether the baby at home is sneaking into the river to swim.

Going into the river again, you little deflated calf, today I will kick you to death! Zhang Guofu was furious, grabbed the big head's arm, stretched out his feet and kicked his son's ass.

In this situation, I don't know how many times it will be staged every summer, so although Datou is a bit silly, he knows how to deal with it.

While he was yelling, he circled around Dad. After the foot touched his ass, the strength was basically relieved.

In fact, Zhang Guofu also shouted fiercely. There was only such a precious son in the family, so he was reluctant to kick hard.

The two of them spun around together, kicking and dodging one by one, and it was all thunder and rain.

Words like little bastard and little bastard came out of Zhang Guofu's mouth kindly. Tell me, who are you scolding?

As for Liu Qingshan and Er Biaozi, they have long since fled, so why shouldn't the captain kick other people's children?

Entering the village from the east end of the village,

There is a dirt road in the middle, and there are two houses in the front and back, and there are more than 20 families.

They are all large courtyards surrounded by wicker. In the whole village, every family is a mud-thatched house with mud walls and grass roofs, low and squat, and the back slope of the roof is full of thick moss and weeds more than a foot high.

Poor, thieves pull the poor.

However, all of this has appeared in Liu Qingshan's dreams countless times, making him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

Liu Qingshan's house is the westernmost house at the back of the village, and the house is also the most dilapidated in the village.

Because his father was seriously ill and did not survive, his mother, Lin Zhi, was an adult and led a litter of children. If it wasn't for the care of the villagers and grandparents, some of them would starve to death.

Standing in front of the twisted wicker gate, Liu Qingshan looked at the two unfamiliar but familiar small thatched cottages, his eyes a little hot again.

The khaki mud walls, the broken windows with grinning teeth, the paint on the window frames are almost peeling off, it is still the kind of window with two upper and lower.

Since it was summer, the upper fan was pushed outwards and supported by a wicker stick.

Under the eaves of the house, there is a nest of swallows, two big swallows, busy with small flying insects, stuffed into the four big yellow mouths in the nest.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart: his mother worked so hard to pull the four children, how similar is this scene?

Trying to calm down the turbulent mood, with a creak, Liu Qingshan pushed open the firewood door and entered the courtyard.

Woohoo-accompanied by the intimate bark, a big yellow dog ran towards Liu Qingshan, shaking his head, two big paws on his shoulders, and his big tongue greeted his face.

rhubarb!

Liu Qingshan hugged the dog's head and rubbed it hard.

This is the big yellow dog he raised since he was a child, and it has no name. Because it is a yellow-haired dog, it is called Da Huang.

Don't talk about dogs, in those days, even the baby in the family didn't have a serious name.

This big yellow dog has been with him throughout his entire reading career. It was not until he returned home from vacation when he was a sophomore in sophomore year that he heard that the big yellow was gone.

It is said that some people saw Da Huang running into the mountains and never came back.

The old dog doesn't die at home, this dog is benevolent and righteous.

Grandpa, who was completely blind at the time, banged on the stick in his hand and said these words.

Rhubarb, I'm back! Liu Qingshan couldn't bear it any longer, and tears fell on Rhubarb's head.

The big yellow dog obviously couldn't understand the little master's mood at the moment, just licked it hard and washed Liu Qingshan's face again.

Sanfeng'er is back.

As soon as the door slammed, a middle-aged woman with short hair came out of the house with a pig food bucket.

mother!

Liu Qingshan's tears just wiped away, and suddenly it was like opening the gate to release water.

Lin Zhi quickly put down the pig food bucket in his hand and let his son threw himself into his arms.

She gently touched the back of Liu Qingshan's head with her hand, and said softly, Sanfeng'er, what's wrong, are you wronged outside?

Liu Qingshan raised his face and looked at his mother: in his early forties, his temples are already gray, and crow's feet appear at the corners of his eyes.

For this family and these children, the mother worked so hard!

Mother, I will never be wronged again, and our family will never be wronged in the future! Liu Qingshan raised his head and said loudly.

Hey, why does my son seem to be a little different today, as if he is no longer that ignorant leather monkey, but has the appearance of a little man?

Lin Zhi lightly hooked her hair with her tail finger, tidied them behind her ears, and said, San Feng'er, go into the house to wash your hands and put the table on the table to eat. Mother will feed the pigs first.

Mother, let me come!

Liu Qingshan wiped his eyes, then picked up the pig food bucket, and strode toward the pigsty in the southwest corner of the yard.

Slow down, you kid...

Lin Zhi said in her mouth, and the smile on her face became even stronger.

It seems that the son has really grown up. This is the most gratifying thing to be a mother. No matter how hard or tired it is, it is worth it.

There were two half-old pigs in the pen, and when they heard the movement, they got up screechingly, and then circled around the pig trough, screaming so hard that Liu Qingshan had no chance to pour the pig food into the trough.

It was Lin Zhi who came over and let out a roar in his mouth, attracting the two pigs to him. Only then did Liu Qingshan pour the diluted pig food into it, and splashed a lot of water, and got him all over.

I haven't fed pigs for a long time, and the technology is a bit rough.

The main reason is that the pig food at this time is made of thin ingredients, the soup is watery, and all kinds of cooked pig food are floating on it, and there is only a small amount of rice noodles.

Hahahaha, this pair of pig brothers is quite delicious.

However, after scooping up all the dried ones, he didn't work so hard, his long mouth swam back and forth in the soup, and finally he threw it twice in dissatisfaction, splashing Liu Qingshan all over again.

It’s good if you can get enough water, these days, people can’t get enough to eat! Liu Qingshan muttered secretly.

Still Linzhi had experience, took a gourd scoop, scooped up a little wheat bran, and sprinkled it in the pig trough. The two brothers ate all at once again.

After sprinkling wheat bran a few times, it was considered that the pig food was fooled into the stomach. Liu Qingshan carried the empty bucket and followed his mother back.

I saw Da Huang running towards the door again, and Liu Qingshan followed closely.

Oncoming was a tall and slender young woman, a ruffled blouse that had been washed white, a pair of fat blue trousers, a large black and shiny braid hanging around her waist, and a large bundle on her shoulders. forage.

A fresh and refreshing face, absolutely without makeup, but very beautiful, especially a pair of big black eyes, very smart.

To say that these two sisters of Liu Qingshan have inherited good genes from their parents, one is handsome and the other is handsome.

Of course, Liu Qingshan's appearance is not bad, with edges and corners.

Miss!

As if from a lifetime ago, Liu Qingshan rushed forward.

Seeing his younger brother who was tearing down, Liu Jinfeng dropped the fodder, and Danfeng's eyes almost stood up: Qingshan, who is bullying you, tell my sister, she will clean him up!

As she spoke, she lifted the placket and wiped the tears from Liu Qingshan's face, as well as the muddy ideas that got on her face while feeding the pigs.

Sister, no one bullies me!

Liu Qingshan shook his head embarrassedly.

He's quite a big man, and he's still crying all the time.

Sister, I just met Brother Wenxue. He said that he will propose a marriage tomorrow.

Liu Qingshan followed in a low voice.

Two red glows suddenly appeared on Liu Jinfeng's pretty face, making Liu Qingshan snicker secretly.

It is estimated that he was a little annoyed by his brother's laugh, Liu Jinfeng pinched Liu Qingshan's ear and twisted it, and then dragged him into the room to wash his face.

My ears hurt a bit, but my heart felt warm.

This half of the room is the kitchen, the earth stove, a simple wooden shelf is built on it, and the pots and pans are placed.

The second sister, Liu Yinfeng, was sitting on a small bench in front of the stove making a fire.

While absently filling the stove with firewood, she looked at the English book in her hand.

This year's college entrance examination, English was officially included in the college entrance examination subject, she failed the college entrance examination because of her poor English.

Second sister!

Liu Qingshan called out.

Eighteen-year-old Liu Yinfeng raised her head, then lowered her eyes to read again.

She has two braids hanging down on her chest, her eyebrows are very delicate, but she looks too thin.

There's no way to do this. It's really hard to find a fat man right now.

Brother, I'm hungry, when will dinner be served?

Feeling that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, Liu Qingshan looked down at a little guy, looking up at him with a round face.

This is his little sister and an old pimple in the family, Liu Caifeng, who is only 6 years old this year.

In my memory, apart from crying, it was her little belly that seemed to never be full.

Touching the little girl's head, Liu Qingshan looked around the small kitchen: the family lived together neatly, no matter how hard the life was, it was still a kind of happiness.
