Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

Last night, the old man said that when his brother Du Jicheng was four years old, he would still draw a map on the kang. As long as he drew the map that morning, he would have an expression that made him want to cry. Of course, Grandpa Du also mentioned that Du Jicheng was still half a child.

When I was a child, two little birds hatched one morning.

When Grandpa Du talked about that section vividly, both the grandfather and grandson were so happy that they almost died.

In those days, the common people lived in poverty, without seeing a drop of oil star all year round. Therefore, the bird eggs on the trees, the loaches in the puddles, the frogs in the fields, and the grasshoppers in the grass were all eaten by the young people in the mountains.

Good meaty stuff.

Du Jicheng was the eldest son of the family. He was the cleverest and naughtiest. He was also the best at climbing trees, digging out bird eggs and touching loaches in the water. One afternoon, Du Jicheng dug out another nest of bird eggs. At that time, he was reluctant to eat them, so he kept eating them.

Put it in your arms and carry it carefully.

When I went to bed at night, I was afraid that my two brothers would steal my eggs, so I covered myself under the quilt. People who usually sleep with their arms and legs spread out, slept so soundly that night. The next morning, I was half asleep and half awake.

Du Jicheng suddenly felt that the quilt was wet. Suddenly he thought of his bird's eggs. Du Jicheng jerked hard. When the thin quilt was lifted, it was broken and the eggs could not be eaten.[

At that time, the two elder brothers were well aware of Du Jicheng's sneaky little tricks. However, the two elder brothers were also good enough and deliberately did not point it out. They even made fun of the third child who was about to get a wife.

” is still “wetting” the bed. The most important thing is that she can still give birth to babies, even though they are two little ones.

At that time, Du Jicheng pouted for three days and ignored his two brothers. Last night, the equally good grandfather and grandson laughed so much that they stopped laughing. After sending grandpa back to his room to rest, Ya'er seemed to be asleep and awake, still thinking about it.

If I saw my little grandpa tomorrow, would I think of this and not laugh again then?

Ya'er had a good dream last night, and of course she dreamed of her little grandpa hatching eggs that she had not yet met. However, Ya'er slept soundly, but she was not as energetic as her old man.

People are in high spirits during happy events, and I am talking about Grandpa Du in the past two days. Grandpa Du is still looking forward to it. He provides cover for his precious granddaughter, so that he can eat more rare food that only people in the mountains can eat. Early that morning,

As soon as the genius was revealed, Grandpa Du ran to the door again and called for someone.

The sleepy Ya'er was dragged by her old man for a walk towards the morning market.

"Your little grandpa loves sweets the most!" Grandpa Du just finished speaking, with a pack of candy ears in his left hand and a pack of pea yellow in his right hand. The spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown across the land of the motherland, and small stalls and shops have seen the light of day again.

"Your little grandpa loves to eat delicious big fat meat!" He also didn't know much about it. He was holding a three-inch fat piece of high-quality pork belly in his left hand, and four pig's trotters and a clean shaved pig's head in his right hand.

Fortunately, Grandpa Du has a good physique, and Ya'er also has a treasure that can be used as a cheating device. Otherwise, if she wanted to buy this from Grandpa Du, she would have the energy to buy it, and the young and old would definitely not be able to do it.

Ya'er couldn't laugh or cry when she saw that her old man was once again standing in front of a straw stake full of candied haws on a stick, "Grandpa, the candied haws on a stick will melt tomorrow. Besides, little grandpa may not like to eat it now!"

"

"It's okay! Let's take a few bunches back later for your Grandpa Libai and the others to try! Let Da Zhuang and the others come over early tomorrow to buy them!" Grandpa Du said, having already pulled eight bunches of candied haws from the wooden stake.

Look at the frightened expression on the old man selling candied haws, Ya'ernai, hurry up and pay.

When the grandfather and grandson came out of the morning market packed with bags, they happened to meet Du Haoyu and Guo Xiaohai who were coming to pick them up.

When my family got up just now, they found that there was an old and a young child missing from the house. If Ya'er hadn't carefully left a note, we might have gone to find someone at this moment.

"Brother, Mike, come here and try the candied haws of apples that I bought specially for you!" When Grandpa Du returned home, the first thing he did was to hand the candied haws of apples to Du Libai and his grandson, which made old Mr. Du Libai blush. But Mike, on the other hand,

, I was very interested in this bunch of red and long food. However, after eating it in one bite, the young man immediately grinned. It’s no exaggeration!

"These little miscellaneous fish, Ya'er and I specially bought them from someone! My wife, you can sort out half of them later, and make the braised miscellaneous fish pancakes for your elder brother to try at noon. Keep the other half in a pot until tomorrow.

The third child comes over and prepares this dish for him too."

While dividing his candied haws and peas, Grandpa Du directed, "Da Zhuang, cut the pork belly into half and help chop it into minced meat. Cut the other side into pieces for me!"

"Brother Li, after breakfast you talk to the elder brother. I'll go over there to get some coarse sand and let Ya'er "milk" for the elder brother and the others to fry some chestnuts and peanuts."

This early in the morning, the whole family was being driven around by Grandpa Du. Only Mike and Edward, who came to report on time, one old and one young, ate a candied haws in one bite, a piece of pea yellow in each bite, and a spoonful of bean juice in each bite.

.

Ya'er always thought that her old man was only good at solving problems with force, but now, Ya'er finally realized that her old man was definitely capable of martial arts and literary skills, and his talking skills were absolutely unfathomable.[

"Grandpa, I have classes in the morning, so I'm going to school first! I'll definitely be back in the evening!" After breakfast, Ya'er went back to the room, picked up her bag, and ran out.

"Grandpa, I've chopped the minced meat! I'm going to work too!" Du Haoyu grabbed two big meat buns and slipped out.

The remaining brothers also followed the same example, one was holding fried dough sticks, the other was eating sesame seed cakes, and they did not dare to stop at home for a while. They were lucky to see what Mrs. Xianglin was like. But, Grandpa Xianglin

They can imagine what it's like.

Ya'er didn't know whether her brothers had managed to hide themselves from the Qingjing. However, looking at Miss Zhao who was looking at her eagerly and wanting to speak, Ya'er knew that no matter where she hid, she would never be able to become Qingjing.

.I didn’t expect that Miss Zhao, who is more masculine than her male classmates, has such a shy side. After just one encounter, this girl was stunned by the handsome mixed-race boy at home.

Ya'er was tormented by Zhao Weihong in school, and Grandpa Du was tormented at home. On the other side of the train, Du Jianmin, the second uncle of the Du family, also felt a lot of pressure. Although the third uncle who suddenly appeared, he was no match for his old man.

There's nothing the same, and I don't like to keep a straight face, but I'm really not very good at talking, right?

"Third uncle, why don't you lie down on the bunk and rest for a while! We still have a long way to go to the capital!" Du Jianmin looked at the twilight man in front of him, who looked much older than his old man.

He suggested cautiously.

"No! I'm in good spirits! Go on and tell me about our family's affairs over the years!" Du Jicheng held his breath and didn't even feel a trace of fatigue.

"Qinghe, do you see?" Du Jianmin could see that the old man's health was indeed not good, and he looked at the young man next to him with a little embarrassment.

"Second brother, if father asks you to talk, just tell him! I want to hear it too!" Du Qinghe knew that his father looked easy-going, but deep down he was a stubborn old man, and he was in a dilemma.

"Hey! Let me tell you more about it! My grandpa was born when my mother-in-law was working on the construction project! Before I left, the two old people didn't suffer much!" Du Jianmin said this, and he looked and listened with rapt attention.

, the old man with a nostalgic look on his face scratched his scalp in distress.

"In those years, although the life of the villagers was not easy, fortunately we, Qinghewan, were in Shanwowo, so we didn't suffer much! In addition, our family has a lot of labor, and we can also find some food in the mountains.

Yes, at least no one is starving to death."

The more Du Jianmin talked, the more envious he became of his little niece who spoke with a mouth full of words without even breathing.

"Boys are not valuable in our family. Counting Taohua, Xinghua and the others, our family has ten boys in total. Jianshe just got married at the end of the year. We have five brothers and sisters. Now we only have one girl, Ya'er. That little girl is my father.

The apple of my eye

, Dad obeys Ya'er's words. In fact, it's all thanks to Ya'er that those boys can go to college and eat national food!..." Speaking of his precious niece, Du Jianmin, who was clumsy and tongue-tied just now, suddenly became eloquent.

Like a hanging river.

"Third uncle, when the time comes, let Ya'er take a look at your legs and take care of your health! How can that little girl be patient? Many high officials in the capital are looking for her to take care of themselves!"

Du Jicheng and Du Qinghe, father and son, both had smiles on their faces. They had read the little girl's report.

This day, whether it was for Grandpa Du or the three people on the train, it was like a year.

Due to the old man’s fuss this morning, Ya’er thought that the next morning, the old man would be extremely excited and wanted to go to the station to pick someone up with him. After all, elderly people, no matter how healthy they are, are not easy to lose their mood.

Too many ups and downs.

However, the next morning, Ya'er finally got out of bed and found that the old man was unusually calm.

Of course Grandpa Du is happy to see his brother whose blood is thicker than water. However, the old man's joy was exhausted yesterday. Now, Grandpa Du wants to slap his third brother even more when he sees him.

I scratched my ears and poked at his feet. Because I haven’t heard from him for decades, and because of him, I didn’t return to my hometown until now.

In the early morning of early autumn, there was already a chill in the autumn wind, and Grandpa Du's mood was strangely calm. His precious granddaughter was also going, and of course Grandpa Du was reluctant to go. However, Grandpa Du himself had to go, just to be able to

The first time he hit me hard was with both feet.

Guo Xiaohai drove the hotel's delivery truck and took the old man and Mr. Du to the station.

Arriving at the station, I glanced at the bustling crowd and saw that the scene Grandpa Du had envisioned on the way here did not come true at all.[

With just one glance, Grandpa Du saw an old man with chicken skin and white hair who refused to let his children support him. Of course, there was also the crutch in his hand. The crutch in the hand of Brother Li Bai was more of a decorative crutch.

The difference is that the crutch in the old man's hand is a genuine one used to support his inflexible left leg.

Grandpa Du, who had already run over at full speed, was reluctant to reveal his kick. He stepped forward and hugged this brother who was already his eldest brother, and hugged him tightly. The brother he hadn’t seen for decades,

Dragging a dilapidated body, he was already so old. At that moment, Grandpa Du's eyes filled with tears, and he shed tears before he could say a word.

"Third brother, go home with me!" This was the first thing Grandpa Du said to his brother whom he hadn't seen for decades!

"Hey! Go home!" A place with elder brothers, relatives, and dark eyes and yellow skin is truly Du Jicheng's home.

Next to him, Father Du scratched his scalp and looked at the young man who was barely two years older than his son. He didn't know what to call him? Brother, nephew?

"Brother, I am Du Qinghe!" Du Qinghe listened to the Du family genealogy and could guess who this middle-aged man was at a glance.

"Hey, brother! Come on, let's go home! The hot dishes at home have been prepared!" Father Du was much livelier than the second uncle of the Du family. He took the luggage from Du Qinghe and threw it to Guo Xiaohai, "

By the way, this is the second son of your sister Xinghua’s family, Guo Xiaohai!”

Guo Xiaohai, who was named, was quick to talk and yelled happily, "Uncle, you can just call me Xiaohai!" Guo Xiaohai felt no pressure to call this man who was only a few years older than him uncle.

Du Qinghe, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed when Guo Xiaohai called him that, and almost wanted to take the red envelope from the small box he carried with him.

Outside the station, people were coming and going. After all, it was not a place to reminisce about old times, so the group quickly moved their positions.

Du and his three brothers were driven into the back compartment of the pickup truck. In the cab, Guo Xiaohai acted as the driver. As for the two brothers, they held their brothers' hands tightly and tried to calm down their excited emotions.

"That bastard Du Jianmin, he's not fast when he should be fast, and he's not slow when he should be slow! The day before yesterday, my heart was like a roller coaster, going up and down. If Du Jianmin had called earlier, I wouldn't have been frightened in vain.

It's time." Seeing his brother's face full of exhaustion, Grandpa Du couldn't bear to ask him how he had spent these years, so he could only find a random topic.

"Don't blame him! I'm just too impatient!" Du Jicheng has not recovered from the excitement of actually seeing his family and his eldest brother.

"If you don't talk well, you can't do things well. You don't have to speak for him! By the way, I have a surprise for you!" Grandpa Du thought of the grandfather and grandson living at home and couldn't help but tell the story.

When Du Jicheng saw that his eldest brother was still as impatient as he was a few decades ago, he could only use one word to describe his mood, and that was cordiality.

"Brother, if you don't surprise me, is it not a surprise?" Du Jicheng's mood relaxed completely, and his tone became more cunning than when he was arguing with his elder brother.

"Don't worry! I will definitely surprise you! I can give you a little hint, it has something to do with your legs!" Grandpa Du has learned a lot of tricks from his precious granddaughter.

Unfortunately, when Du Jicheng heard his elder brother talking about his legs, his face turned pale, the hand holding the crutches trembled slightly, and the veins were exposed, almost crushing the crutches. What this leg brought to him was not his body.

The pain in his body was more of guilt and self-blame, a hidden pain that would linger throughout his life.

The men of the Du family cannot evade their responsibilities at any time. This is what Grandpa Du's father often said to their three brothers. Du Jicheng's expression showed the determination to burn the boat, let go of the crutch in his hand, took Grandpa Du's hand,

He took the big hand and slapped his face hard.

The snap was very loud and sudden, frightening Guo Xiaohai who was staring straight ahead, and also startled Grandpa Du who was thinking about how to give his brother another hint.

The author has something to say: Rest day, rest day! Feel guilty and run away.
