Grandma was busy laughing and admonishing in the back, but her voice couldn't catch up with them and couldn't pull back a response from the two children.

"Auntie!".

Before the people arrived, the sound came into the courtyard first, and after lingering in a circle, the brothers ran past the grapefruit tree, and rushed to the front of the house in a few arrows.

Just as they were about to continue running into the house, a woman slowly walked out and stopped them like ordered machines.

The woman was beautifully dressed, with long hair and a shawl, and a sunny smile on her face. Seeing the two brothers, she gently patted their heads and teased.

"Two slugs, why are you coming to my house again, go back to your house." "

"This is my house, why are you coming to my house, auntie, go back to your house." "

Not to be outdone, he replied stiffly.

"Yo, shameless, who told you this is your home?".

"Grandma said this is my home. "

"You believe what your grandmother says." "

While the two were arguing, my grandmother and brother-in-law also returned to the yard.

Seeing her grandmother, her aunt shouted softly and scolded, and her grandmother couldn't stop laughing, and then asked her to stop teasing them.

"Children, just tease." "

After the aunt finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the kitchen, and then showed a helpless face.

"Mom, I don't know how to make goose meat. "

Hearing this, my grandmother handed the basket to my brother-in-law, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen.

"I'll come, these two babies miss you, accompany them." "

"They're looking for a snack. "

After grandma finished speaking, she walked into the kitchen without looking back, and the aunt followed her and replied casually, and only when grandma's vision was covered by the house did she look back at the brothers.

"Auntie, when are you coming back?".

"Big slug, of course my aunt is back today." There is a lot of food in the hall, you go and eat it all, don't leave it to your uncle. "

"Okay. "

After the brothers answered, the joy just now turned to be attracted by the yearning for snacks, and rushed into the house, only to hear the packaging bag being torn open and the brothers were surprised, and then they couldn't hear a word of aunt shouting.

"It's better to be a child." "

The aunt couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at the "Wang Ba" on the opposite side stupidly, the huge mountain covered the sun, and the shadows that fell on the "Wang Ba" were all shadows, as if it sank into the deep sea, and the warm light could not reflect it.

After the brother-in-law finished putting things down, he came to the side of the aunt, and the sisters and brothers looked at each other together, and no one spoke.

After a long time, the brothers ran over with a few bags of snacks in their hands and handed them to them, and the uncle smiled and said that he would not eat them, and then the brothers quickly ran back to the house.

Looking at their backs, the aunt sighed secretly and said.

"The eldest sister and brother-in-law are really, they haven't come back for so many years, and this little slug doesn't know what his parents look like." "

"At least it's much better than we used to, isn't it?".

The uncle slowly squatted down, picked up a stone from the side and threw it towards the yard.

"We didn't have so many snacks back then. "

The aunt turned around and walked into the room, took out two chairs, handed one of them to the uncle, and then put the rest away by herself, and sat down naturally.

"If you're greedy, you're going to eat with those guys, and I'm not laughing at you." "

The uncle lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

"Second sister, next time you go out, will you take me with you?"

"What, want to hang out?".

The aunt patted her brother-in-law on the shoulder, as if the brother-in-law in front of her was about the same age as the two brothers inside, and she looked at her brother-in-law with a child-like look.

"People in the village who are about the same age as me have gone out, and I don't feel comfortable staying in the village. "

"Okay. "

The aunt withdrew her hand, and then looked at the mountain opposite, her eyes flowing with an incomprehensible light.

"I still remember that in the past, my parents went to work in the fields, and the eldest sister was responsible for herding cattle and cooking and taking the two of us alone. "

"How long has it been?" "

The uncle scratched his head embarrassedly, and the aunt laughed again when she saw this, and her smile was even brighter than before.

Just while laughing, the two brothers ran out with snacks again, and they quickly passed by their aunt and uncle, and ran towards the opposite mountain.

"It's almost time to eat, where are you two going!".

Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly shouted.

The two brothers coped and ran forward without looking back.

"These two slugs. "

Running and running, running and running, the wind also ran with it, and its body swept the surrounding flowers and trees, causing the cooking smoke to run with them, and then the birds rushing out of the mountains, and then the butterflies and dragonflies, and everything ran forward until they reached the edge of the field, and the stream cut off the way, and they slowly stopped and sat on the ridge. The sun turned red, and the mountains were red, and the faces of the two children were red from the violent running, and they gasped for breath, and the snacks in their hands did not move for a long time.

"Brother, do you remember, you and your grandfather were here when you first came, and you told me a lot of things at home. "

"I don't think that's it?".

He scratched his head in confusion.

"Isn't it?".

"It's not. "

My brother replied firmly.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it was evening anyway, just like now. "

Then, the two brothers didn't argue anymore, just sat quietly on the ridge, eating snacks and looking at the hill in front of them.

Gradually, time seemed to freeze, the birds stopped flying, the trees stopped shaking, and the wind stopped in mid-air like a thin smoke. It was as if everything was back to the beginning of the story, and he had a long, long dream. He dreamed that he had returned home, where he had met many people, had gone through many things, and when he finally opened his eyes, they were all gone, leaving only an empty room.

"Two little slugs, you still want me to wait and yell at you to go back to dinner, right?" "

The aunt also came to their side, and counted them one by one.

As if he hadn't heard those words, he looked at his aunt with watery eyes.

"Auntie, I'm homesick. "

The aunt crossed her waist, panting and fanning the wind with her hands, with a very angry but not frightened expression.

"If you're homesick, go back, I don't want you to stay here, I'm annoyed when I see it every day, just go out for a picnic in a few days, and I won't take you." "

After hearing this, he stood up violently and replied like his aunt.

"If I don't go back, you should go back." "

The two of them quarreled loudly on the ridge, and the elder brother only laughed from the sidelines.

"And you, big slug, what are you laughing at, send you both back tomorrow." "

"What's the matter with me?".

Looking at her brother's aggrieved appearance, the aunt did not have the slightest hint of weakness.

"Who made you laugh, I was upset to see it. "

After a while, the quarrel between the two turned into three people, and the aunt and them said one after another, and no one refused to give in.

Just when the quarrel between several people intensified, the brother-in-law also came to them.

"Okay, sister, don't tease the two of them, go back to dinner." "

"Don't come with you, you two are not allowed to eat, and I will send you back tomorrow." "

After speaking, the aunt turned around and walked home, but the brothers still did not admit defeat and followed with bulging faces.

"I'm going to eat." "

The sound of a few people chatting gradually drifted away, the sun also quietly set behind the mountain, and the quiet and peaceful village was lit up, and before I knew it, it became a small galaxy in the dark night.

The river flowed silently, skirting the mountains to places that people did not know, and he crouched on the bed covered with stones, divided into two piles with dozens of stones of similar size, and transformed them into living beings, projecting a fierce war in his mind. Countless crowds of people rushed to the opposite side with their spears raised with their spears in their hands roaring, and where they passed, people kept falling and standing up again until there were scars on their bodies, and finally they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Are you going to die here?

He muttered to himself.

No, my life shouldn't end here.

The badly wounded white-robed young man struggled to his feet, looked at the enemies around him, closed his eyes slightly, and opened them violently. Then, with a roar of rage, he rushed towards the crowd with his sword in hand.

"Little slug, don't play with rocks there, go pick up some firewood with your brother." "

He came back to his senses and saw his aunt holding a firewood knife and shouting at him while digging a pit in the land not far away.

In the middle of the river, the brother-in-law was holding a hammer and hammering the big stone lying inside, while the elder brother followed behind, holding a plastic bucket in his hand and the fish that were knocked out day by day by the uncle.

Hearing the voice of the aunt, the elder brother answered, and after lifting a large stone and pressing the bucket in the water, he hurried to the forest not far away. Seeing this, he didn't care about the stones in formation, and hurriedly followed.

After picking it up for a while, looking at the two small bundles of firewood on the ground, the brothers were satisfied with their backs and walked towards the riverbank. When they returned to the shore, the aunt had already dug a simple stove and was clearing the kitchen utensils at the moment, while the uncle was still smashing the stones.

"Auntie, the firewood has been picked up." "

The aunt looked up at the two of them, and then went on to clean the kitchen utensils.

"Okay, now it's nothing to do with the two of you, continue to play with your stones." "

Watching his uncle take out the white fish from the cracks in the stones, he no longer had the desire to continue playing with the stones, but followed his brother into the lake and walked towards the bucket.

"Two slugs, don't go to a deep place, just get it at the bucket." "

"Got it. "

After responding to his aunt's advice, he walked to the barrel and looked inside, and when he saw countless fish lying inside, he couldn't help but admire his uncle.

"Don't get too close to me, be careful of hammering you." "

"Hmm. "

He didn't understand why he used a hammer to hammer stones, and after hammering one or two pieces, he always found fish, as if his uncle knew where they were hiding. Watching the fish being thrown into the bucket one by one made him feel amazing.

After some time, the aunt cleaned the kitchen utensils, turned to them, first looked into the bucket twice, and then said to the uncle.

"It's okay, Zihong, you take these two slugs to live and cook, and I'll peel these fish clean." "

Hearing the sound, the uncle stopped waving and led the brothers to the dug earthen stove. When he came to the earthen stove, he threw his brother a lighter and asked them to make a fire, then poured the rice into the pot and turned and walked to the river.

said that he asked the two of them to make a fire, but in fact, his brother was busy working alone, and he watched from the side, until the fire was lit, and his brother asked him to add firewood to it.

The

fire gradually got up, and when he came back after washing the rice, the uncle put the pot on the stove and turned his head to help the aunt clean up the fish. The two brothers had been sitting in front of the stove, adding wood to it from time to time, and the fire had been burning late, and the warm flames, as if summer had come early, burned them sweating profusely.

When the sun came to the sky, the rice was cooked, the uncle removed the pot where the rice was cooking, and the aunt put another pot on the rack, then poured oil into it, added green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fried until fragrant, and poured the washed fish into it, and kept stir-frying. As soon as the fragrance of fish gushed out, the uncle went to the river to fetch some water and poured it into the pot, the aunt covered the pot, and the four of them sat around the stove and waited.

"Two slugs, wait quietly. "

At the moment, he only had the pot of fish in front of him, and he couldn't listen to his aunt's words at all, so he sat dry like a log.

"Little slug, your eyeballs are about to fall into the pot." "

"Sister, it's not that you don't know, his family is the most greedy. "

"That's it. "

My brother also chimed in.

The three of them teased at first, and then moved on to other topics, from the place of home to the town, and then to the distant seaside, until the water in the pot began to boil. The aunt removed the lid of the pot and flipped it over with a shovel. Seeing this, he hurriedly said yes, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, and it caused his aunt to be disappointed for a while.

"It's slow!".

It's so slow, the river flows so slowly, the wind blows so slowly, and time passes so slowly. It seems that after many years, he finally looked forward to the pot of fish cooked, anxiously waiting for his aunt to hand over the dishes and chopsticks, and then picked up a piece of fish meat and sent it to his mouth, and hurriedly spit it out because it was too hot, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Little slug, no one is robbing you, eat slowly." "

He nodded, and picked up the fish again, this time he learned wisely, he blew a few breaths before slowly sending it into his mouth. The river water mixes with the scent of autumn, and this breath is integrated into the fish, plus the aroma of the fish itself, several flavors converge, and the taste is not suddenly stimulating the taste buds, but slowly conveyed, little by little intoxicating.

"Delicious, isn't it? "

"Hmm. "

After replying, he picked up another piece, blew a few breaths and put it into his mouth to chew slowly. The tenderness of the fish quietly poured into his brain, as if he had become a fish in the river, swimming freely in the cool water, without restraint.

When the aunt and uncle saw that he was eating so deliciously, they also took advantage of the situation to serve a good meal, accompanied by the river and green mountains, and tasted spring.
