Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

When Ya'er got up in the morning, she saw her grandma neatly packed up, wearing clothes she usually couldn't bear to wear, with a look of excitement on her face. Dad Du also went to the village to borrow the bullock cart and was now preparing fodder for the old scalper.

Well, this old scalper is the collective property of the village, so we must take good care of it. We have to prepare lunch for it after a day out. Ya'er's two brothers saw this posture and knew that grandma was going to visit their aunt and the others.

They both wanted to go, but they didn't dare to speak. They also knew that if they spoke, they would be rejected. Who told them to go to school now? It's better for Ya'er, she doesn't have to go to school, and her father will take her wherever he goes.

My uncle gave grandma the pregnancy notes he copied last night. Grandma carefully folded them and put them in her pocket. This is very important, as experts say.

Today, Ya'er is wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket that her grandma made for her in the spring, black cotton trousers made of coarse cloth, and a pair of blue cotton shoes embroidered with two butterflies on her feet. It is definitely a country girl's dress with the characteristics of the times, but in

In the eyes of her family, Ya'er is definitely the most beautiful girl from the village. However, Ya'er feels that this outfit is earthy. This outfit is absolutely warm and well-fitting. It is much warmer than a woolen coat that costs thousands of dollars in the 21st century. Du

Mom also helped her braid two small braids, the ends of which were tied with red ribbons.

Ya'er's hair now hangs down to her shoulders. It is dark and thick. Du Ma likes to tinker with Ya'er's hair when she has free time. Today she will tie a bun, tomorrow she will make a braid, and the day after tomorrow she will make a small braid.

.In Ma Du’s opinion, her little baby is beautiful, no matter how she does her hair.

After breakfast, everyone should be busy with whatever they were doing. Mother Du can't go with her today. If she goes, the men in the family will probably be hungry. There is no one in the Du family, old or young.

She knows how to cook. Ya'er is still thinking about learning to cook from her grandma in the spring next year. It is usually very hard for grandma to cook for so many people by herself, especially since the men in the family eat more. In the past, it was hard for grandma to cook for so many people.

Du Xuanjin can also cook, and the food she makes is delicious, but at that time, she used modern kitchen utensils, and her cooking was exquisite. Now she has to use earthen stoves to make authentic farm food, so some people are learning.[

Du's father took out an old quilt from the house and laid it on the oxcart. Although it was not yet December, the people on the car today were old and young, so be careful. Grandma also packed them in cloth bags.

20 kilograms of rice and 20 kilograms of white flour, half of which will be given to the family by then. Although we will need to get a lot of things from Ya'er later, we can't just leave without taking any at all.

After everything was packed up, it was already getting late, "Grandpa, mom, Uncle Zhang, Ya'er wants to see aunt and the others. Don't think about Ya'er at home. I will be back in the afternoon." Ya'er looked towards Grandpa Du and Ma

They waved their chubby arms and blew a kiss to them in a funny way, which made Du Ma laugh and scold this ghost girl.

Auntie, my sister-in-law's house is not on the same road. The two families form a right-angled triangle with Qinghe Bay. However, my sister-in-law's house is closer to the right-angled side, and my aunt-in-law's house is farther away, which is the hypotenuse. Dad Du and grandma discussed going to my sister-in-law first.

Home, I visited her house, sat down for a while, then went to my aunt’s house, and had lunch at my aunt’s house by the way. Although Grandma Du felt that the time she spent at her little girl’s house was a bit short, she thought about her little girl’s super stingy mother-in-law.

, I think it’s better to eat at the eldest daughter’s house for peace of mind. If I eat at the younger daughter’s house, I don’t know how much trouble I will get.

After Du's father and grandma discussed the itinerary, Ya'er also began to ask grandma for advice on how many things to send, "Grandma, Ya'er, here are raisins, dried apples, red dates, fresh apples, walnuts, honey, and eggs that the aunts can eat.

"What's the right amount?" He blinked his big eyes and looked at grandma.

"Oh, grandma's little baby turns out to have so many delicious foods. Let grandma think about it." Grandma Du answered, stroking Ya'er's pigtails. She really hadn't considered this issue.

"One or two kilograms of raisins and dried apples are enough. Your aunt has jujube trees at home for big red dates, so you don't need to bring them. For fresh apples, four or five kilograms will be fine. For walnuts, two or three kilograms are enough. As for honey, just one family can do it.

A small jar. Yesterday your Uncle Zhang said these are good things and very useful for pregnant people. Boss, what do you think?" Grandma Du felt that it was a bit too much for a while, a bit too little for a while, and

Can't make up my mind.

"I think it's okay. If we add four to five kilograms of eggs and two kilograms of brown sugar to the family, don't we also have ten kilograms of white flour and ten kilograms of rice, as well as a pheasant and a wild rabbit. I think these are a lot." Du Dad

I'm also a little unsure.

"Then that's it. These things are great things for ordinary people. If it weren't for that baby with Ya'er, we wouldn't be able to come up with so many things. It would be nice if we could come up with one or two things. Besides, we wouldn't be able to come up with so many things.

If there are more, her sisters will definitely become suspicious. By the time the Chinese New Year is over, these things will be almost eaten, so let them take some more back then." Grandma Du made the decision.

When Ya'er saw that everything was settled, she packed them all in the small cloth bags prepared last night. She took out the portions for the two aunts. If she left them all for her for a while, she would be suspicious.

Put the dried fruits and walnuts together, otherwise there are not so many bags, put the wrapped brown sugar together, and take out the eggs and honey when they are about to arrive, both of which are fragile items that are not easy to knock. Also

There were two wild rabbits and two pheasants. Their legs were tied with ropes and they were put on the oxcart. Fresh big red apples were also taken out, and they were handed to Grandma and Daddy Du, who was driving the oxcart.

one.

The two of them took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste went straight to their taste buds. It was really more delicious than the wild fruits on the mountain. After a while, an apple the size of Du's fist entered their stomachs. "I haven't had this for many years."

I have never eaten such delicious apples," Grandma Du exclaimed. These days, her stomach is full. Very few people tend to the fruit trees. Generally, fruit trees grow on their own, with average taste and average size.

Very small.

"Ya'er has a lot of apples, peaches and so on, but I don't dare to take them out to the grandparents to eat." Ya'er was happy to see them eating, but it was a pity that in this era, they only had empty treasures and dared not use them.

"With Ya'er's baby, our life is much better than before. Aren't all the things in this car brought out by Ya'er? As for these fresh fruits, didn't Ya'er make a lot of dried fruits? Those fruits

It's dry and very sweet. You can't just take these fresh fruits out casually. It would be a bad thing if someone found out. Not even your two brothers and uncle can tell you, you know, Ya'er." Grandma Du saw Ya.

With a look of regret on his face, Ya'er couldn't help but tell Ya'er again.

"Yes, Ya'er knows. Don't tell anyone, and don't let anyone find out." Ya'er answered with a nod of her head, her two braids swaying along with it.

There are almost no pedestrians on the road in late autumn. The scenery in late autumn is not very attractive to Ya'er. It has been seen frequently in the past two years, and of course it is even more common for Du Daddy and the others. Seeing that there is nothing to do, Ya'er will take it from time to time.

Feed strawberries, cherries and other small fruits that are not very common in this era to Grandma and Daddy Du. "Grandma, try these quickly. These are more delicious than apples and are softer. Daddy, try this too." Wait a minute.

Ya'er stopped feeding when she arrived at my sister-in-law's village.

"These fruits are really delicious, but they make grandma exhausted. There is no need to go to your aunt's house for lunch at noon." Grandma Du ate fresh strawberries and cherries for the first time, and she was very satisfied with these sour and sweet fruits.

I like the fruit very much and eat a little too much.

"Well, I'll give it to grandma when I have the chance, but it's a pity that I can't give it to other people." Ya'er felt like she was eating alone.

"Grandma, just give it a try, but you have to be careful in the future." Grandma Du didn't take it to heart. When Ya'er heard that Du's father said that they were coming to my sister-in-law's village, she quickly took out the eggs and honey.

It's inconvenient to get it.

The village where my sister-in-law's family is located is called Guojiazhuang. The village is larger than Qinghewan, with more land than Qinghewan. It is also close to the town. The village looks neater than Qinghewan. This is Ya'er's first time to visit her aunt's house, but Daddy Du is not.

Being familiar with the road, I drove the ox cart and continued walking into the village. I got off the ox cart when I reached the center of the village. I took the ox rope and walked to the door of a yard, stopped, and shouted, "Xinghua is not at home, my mother and I are here."

I count on you".

As soon as Father Du finished speaking, two and a half young men rushed out of the house, "Uncle, grandma, you are here to see my mother. You all know if my mother has a baby now, and next year we will be pregnant again."

"Brother", it turned out to be two cousins ​​from my sister-in-law's family, Brother Da Jiang and Brother Xiao Jiang.[

My sister-in-law and uncle also came out of the house, "Mom, eldest brother, Ya'er, why are you here? I'm fine. I just have a baby in my arms. I haven't done so before." When the sister-in-law saw her family, she said angrily.

.

My uncle quickly stepped forward to help Grandma Du get out of the oxcart, and Ya'er was also carried off by her elder cousin. When they all got off the oxcart, my uncle took the cow rope and drove the oxcart into the yard. Ya'er

I followed my cousins ​​into the yard, only to find that there was an old man and an old lady standing in the yard, both about 60 years old. The old lady said to Grandma Du in a nonchalant manner, "Hey, it turns out the in-laws are here.

The old man was very enthusiastic and said, "My eldest nephew is here. Come and sit in the room quickly. This is your little girl, she looks so handsome."

Ya'er also quickly stepped forward to say hello. Ya'er knew that these two were her sister-in-law's father-in-law and her mother-in-law. From their tone of voice, she could also tell their general personalities. I guess the old lady was really as stingy as her grandma said.

Madam, when my uncle helped Du to take down all the things from the oxcart, and looked at the piles of good things they were carrying, the old lady's tone immediately became enthusiastic,

"Hey, in-laws, hurry up and have a rest in the house. I'll get you a bowl of sugar water to drink." As he said this, he took Grandma Du's hand and walked into the house with a tone that sounded affectionate.

Uncle Du smiled sheepishly at Father Du. He said that his mother was like this. She liked petty gains and was very talkative. Father Du's expression did not change much. He had not dealt with this old lady once or twice, but

I have never had a meal here. But fortunately, the old lady is stingy with outsiders. She has nothing to say to her younger brother-in-law and loves him the most. This does not leave the brothers-in-law's brothers alone. They

Are the old couple living with the younger sister and her brother-in-law?

The old lady's change of face made Ya'er want to laugh, but she felt it was too rude and had to endure it. The two cousins ​​were a little eager to eat after seeing so many delicious foods, but they also knew that most of these things were for their mother.

Mom still has a little sister in her belly now, and they also want a sister as beautiful and cute as Ya'er.

Ya'er saw her two cousins' greedy but repressed expressions, and took out a handful of toffee from her pocket. She grabbed this specially when she was leaving, "Brother Da Jiang, brother Xiao Jiang, eat toffee,

I brought this specially for you."

"Ya'er, this is toffee, it's fragrant and sweet, so delicious." Brother Xiao Jiang quickly stuffed it into his mouth in twos and twos. Brother Da Jiang also sucked the toffee in his mouth and nodded in agreement.

The names of the cousins ​​are also funny. The two cousins ​​from my aunt’s family are called Dahai and Xiaohai, and the two cousins ​​from my sister-in-law’s family are called Dajiang and Xiaojiang. The reason is that the eldest cousin from my aunt’s family was born first, so they were named

Named Dahai, my sister-in-law thought that the eldest sister’s family was called Dahai. Her children were smaller than those in her eldest sister’s family, and she and her eldest sister were twins, so she decided to give her a similar name, Dajiang. It just so happened that Jiang was smaller than Hai. The last few

My cousin’s name became Big Sea and Big River.
