Chapter 29: The Liu Family's Recent Situation
Winter vacation is here, I bought a train ticket to take the train home, you say the spring is approaching, how come there are so many people on the train. It's no exaggeration to say that if you don't have some martial arts skills, you won't be able to get on the train even if you have an empty ticket.
It's not easy to get a ticket, so I was lucky to get a standing ticket without a seat. I have one experience on the train, that is, if you can't get a ticket, go to the dining car when you get on the train, spend fifteen dollars and you can get a seat, and also get a dinner on the side. At least we are young and strong, squeeze up, but when I got on the bus, I realized that it was disgusting. The people are so crowded that they can't even move. Even in the toilet there are three people standing, let alone trying to move to the dining car. No way. I can't help it, I'll put up with it. Anyway, I'm only five or six hours from Harbin back to Longjiang.
The train started, bam bam bam, I stood in the smoking area is not afraid of falling, because it is simply crowded. At this time, the train is like a tin can, we small people have become the can left three layers right three layers tightly packed together sardines.
However, I seem to have summarized two advantages of this state of affairs.
A: It's easier to get out of the ticket. And the chances are very great, I remember once on the train was also so many people, I did not get a ticket. But also anxious to go home, so the evil is born, so I bought a platform ticket and then follow the crowd on the train, due to the relationship between too many people, resulting in the car checking the staff are unable to move. As a result, I spent a dollar on a platform ticket to return to Longjiang.
B: It is easier to meet a beautiful woman, think, crowded car can not move, really with the penalty can not move, if you happen to stand next to a beautiful woman then you can be blessed. If you happen to be standing next to a beautiful woman, then you are in luck. To put it in a more obscene way, whenever the train turns a corner, the body of the beautiful woman will be leaning closely to you. On a more innocent note, if you're standing next to a beautiful woman and you want to talk to her, you can say something like this: "What a coincidence, you're squeezing in here too?
But I got on the train that day was a group of home for the New Year's brother workers surrounded, and even the edge of the beauty did not touch, which makes me very helpless. Luckily, this group of migrant workers was very generous, as the saying goes, "crowded people do not crowd their mouths". Not a moment's effort, I began to chat with them on. To kill this boring time.
It turns out that this gang of adults is the next stop on the Longjiang River Mill Hill out to work, things are so coincidental, but also saved my grandparents Mr. Liu's village people.
So I asked them what happened to the old Liu family in the village now. How are they doing?
One of the workers saw that I had also been to Mill Hill, so he told me, "Old Liu's family? Is that the old Liu family that runs the health center at the west end of the village? His family is fine, quite good, but at the beginning of this year, when I was preparing to work, it seems that his family's Boss Liu was lost."
Boss Liu got lost? What happened? I asked him. After thinking for a while, this migrant worker brother told me that there are two brothers in this generation of the old Liu family, but of the two brothers, the oldest one's brain is a little bit bad, to put it bluntly, it is similar to a mental illness. He is always talking to himself on the big rock at the entrance of the village, as if he is talking to someone. It's as if he's chatting with someone. As a result, he is over forty years old and still does not have a daughter-in-law.
Luckily, the oldest member of his family is relatively normal, he opened a health center in the village, and also sells birthday clothes and wreaths. So he raised his stupid brother and a family, a family money is not lacking.
Only at the beginning of this year, it seems that his family's second and oldest had a fight, and then Liu Boss disappeared, we came out to work has not been found, fortunately his old lady does not know, if the old lady knows, it will not be anxious all day long crying tears ah?
After experiencing so much, I heard the Liu family's recent situation can not help but heart is not a taste. You know, that is the descendants of Mr. Liu who saved three generations of our Cui family.
As far as I can remember, the last time I went to Mill Hill to visit relatives was the first year after my grandfather's death, that is, when I was in my fourth year. At that time, when I saw his family my Mr. Liu was really like seeing a madman, he seemed to be talking to himself forever. But now I think about it and realized that I'm afraid that things are not so simple, because after all, the former Liu family generations are dry Yin-Yang Mr... And the family handed down the "Three Qing Divination" art, I'm afraid that some of the delirious wake up Liu is now the world's few can pass the yin and yang of the person.
As for Uncle Liu, in my sound is a gentlemanly farmer. The four sides of the big face, always smiling, give a person a very friendly feeling, he learned medicine, but seems to be not proficient in those outside the way, it is he alone to support the family. He has a daughter, two years younger than me, called Liu Tingting, when I was a child to grind the mountain is that she always took me to the mountains to play. But after growing up we rarely contact. Now counting she will soon go to college.
At that time, I secretly thought, the end of this year, when my father and they go to the mill mountain relatives, then, I must also follow. In how to say that I am now also grown up to understand a lot, Liu family has changed. Old Mr. Liu has saved my life, without that talisman, I'm afraid I would have hung up, so anyhow I have to go and see.
The train was half an hour late, finally arrived in Longjiang, I walked off the bus when it was already almost twelve o'clock at night, I breathed in the long-lost hometown atmosphere, the heart of mixed feelings, this one semester. I have experienced too many things. Whether it is emotionally or physically. I can feel it myself, I have matured a lot.
Walking out of the ticket gate, I saw my father waiting for me from afar. I quickly went forward and hugged him, my old dad was still the same, and was overjoyed to see me. He asked me how I was doing in the past six months. I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and he said playfully: make do, just like that.
Back home, already twelve o'clock, found that the grandmother has not slept, is waiting for me. I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart. Grandma looked at me and said with tears in her eyes, "Little Fei has lost weight."
I really don't feel good in my heart. The old lady was still worrying about me at her age.
After chatting with grandma for a while, I let the old lady go to sleep first, and then came to my father's room, he had already set up a small table with two plates on it, one with chicken wings and the other with pork claws. Still my old dad knows me, so late in the evening to get some cooked food. Then he took out four bottles of beer from the refrigerator.
We ate and drank. Pops is still so straightforward, his first sentence is: "Look at what you made, tomorrow hurry to dye your hair back to go."
I hemmed and hawed, then dealt with him a sentence, then we continued to chat, he asked me about school, I answered one by one.
Suddenly I remembered what I had heard from those folk brothers in the car about the Liu family, so I told my father about these things in their original form.
After hearing this, my father sighed and said to me: "To say that the old Liu family is really a great favor to our family, but we really haven't heard about the matter of Liu's lost brother, okay. Tomorrow I'll talk to your grandpa, anyway, it's New Year's Eve, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we'll go to see. In the meantime, I'll sweep your great-grandfather's grave."
The night was silent, and on the third day my oldest grandpa, my second oldest grandpa, my oldest aunt, my father, and I headed to Mills Mountain with New Year's goods and such.
After a two to three hour drive, we arrived at the small village. Because I had called the Liu family beforehand, I knew we were coming, and Liu's second uncle and his daughter-in-law were standing at the entrance of the village to receive us.
Compared to the big city, I still relatively like the countryside, because the rural people are very simple, unlike the people in this big city, like I cheat.
Because Lao Liu's family has ancestral property, the family still has four big tiled houses, and the yard is even bigger than that. It's like a small playground. The chickens, ducks and geese in the yard are leisurely skating after eating their fill, and the two big cows are leisurely basking in the sun.
Into the house, we first went to see the old Mrs. Liu, that is, Mr. Liu Shuqing Liu's daughter-in-law, the old lady's health is not bad, just a little back of the ear. When she saw us, she greeted us warmly and asked us to sit on the bed, and then asked Uncle Liu to take cigarettes and make tea. The old lady asked my grandfather what happened to my grandmother and how she was doing. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on this," he said.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Liu's daughter-in-law was able to cook and greeted us for dinner. At this time, Liu Tingting was also released from school, I saw her, hey, this to girl a few years do not see the size of the really see long. It must be half a head taller than me. The little girl is long and sturdy. A head of crisp short hair shows very spiritual.
I greeted her, she recognized me and smiled at me. Did not talk much, sat down around the dinner table, today is considered to taste the authentic northeastern rural food, really fragrant. Hot braised blood sausage with sauerkraut, the oily pork has already been placed next to a dish of prepared garlic. The chicken was stewed with dried wild mushrooms. It had a unique flavor. Those of us who always eat chemical fertilizers and artificially raised ingredients naturally ate it with gusto. Of course, I don't eat chicken.
Drinking wine to half of the time, the old Mrs. Liu first ate enough, after all, the old man on the age. Body bones can not, and first returned to the bedroom to lie down.
At this time, my father also opened his mouth to ask Uncle Liu about the matter of Uncle Liu.
(PS: brother is a newcomer, need everyone's encouragement, if you look at brother writing is still quite live, then give brother point of encouragement to vote for brother, thank you.)
