Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

The old scalper pulled the cart slowly and mooed twice from time to time. Two and a half boys on the cart sandwiched Ya'er in the middle, and one of them held one of Ya'er's little hands and held it in his hand.

He kept squeezing and squeezing. He looked at his black and hard palms, and then squeezed Ya'er's white, tender and soft chubby hands. They looked so cute, "Grandma, Ya'er's little hands are so soft, and

It’s white and tender, just looking at it makes you want to take a bite.”

When Grandma Du heard what the two brothers said, she laughed and scolded, "You think Ya'er is like a brat like you two, but Ya'er is a little girl. However, even grandma wanted to take a bite of Ya'er's little hand when she saw it.

Is it delicious or not?”

Before Grandma Du finished speaking, the two brothers put Ya'er's little hand into her mouth and pretended to bite it, "Well, it's really delicious, fragrant and tender, better than the pig's trotters eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"It's delicious," he said while pretending to smack his lips.

My aunt's house is not very far from my sister-in-law's house. The 7 or 8 mile journey is on relatively flat roads. When we arrived at the village, there were only a few farmhouses in the village with smoke rising from their chimneys. There was a group of half-people on the field at the entrance of the village.

The eldest son is playing with marbles (that is, glass beads). At this time, it is a big deal for anyone to have glass beads, and they usually cherish them very much.

Dajiang was the most sharp-eyed. He shouted to one of the teenagers who was having the most exciting time, "Brother Dahai, let's come to see auntie. Grandma, uncle, and Ya'er are here too." The voice could tell

Two miles away.[

The half-grown boy took a quick look and saw that he was indeed the one calling him. He didn't care about his own beads anymore and said to one of the children, "Baby, you can play for me. When you're done playing, give me the beads back."

He shouted towards the bullock cart, "Grandma, I will go home and tell my mother before I come to pick you up." Without waiting for anyone to respond, he ran back to the village in a hurry.

When the bullock cart arrived at the door of my aunt's house, my aunt, uncle, Dahai, and Xiaohai were all waiting at the door. When my aunt saw that her mother was also on the bullock cart, she quickly stepped forward to help her, "Mom, why are you here?

, I don't want anyone to send you a message in advance, so I can let Dayou pick you up." Over here, Dajiang and Xiaojiang had already jumped off the oxcart, and Ya'er was also hugged by Brother Dahai.

My eldest uncle, Wang Dayou, rubbed his hands and said quickly, "Mom, brother, hurry up and have a rest in the house, you must be exhausted." He took the cow rope from Du's hand and drove the cow cart to the yard, and then got out of the cow cart.

Take out the fodder that Du Daddy prepared for the old scalper and feed it.

Ya'er was carried into the yard by Brother Dahai. The yard of my aunt's house was also very large. The main house consisted of three rooms with mud walls and thatched roofs, and next to it was a small kitchen. Although the main house looked a bit shabby from the outside,

But the house had been tidied up neatly and cleanly by my aunt, and it didn’t look cramped at all. Father Du and a few cousins ​​were busy moving everything from the oxcart into the main room.

Everyone has a bunch of them in their hands.

The aunt who was talking to Grandma Du in the main room saw so many things brought in and said with a smile, "Mom, what are you doing? You didn't move the whole family here, why did you bring so many things?"

”.

Before Grandma Du could answer, Dajiang put down her things and said, "Auntie, grandma brought these for you. Grandma also gave my mother a lot of things just now. Auntie, are you the same as my mother, who also has a child?

It’s a baby.”

"Yes, next year you two will be brothers and sisters again. Come to Ya'er, come to Auntie, tell Auntie if you miss Auntie," he said while tugging Ya'er's pigtails and saying

The ends of the braids scratched Ya'er's little face.

"I missed my aunt, so I followed my grandma and dad to visit my aunt. Like my sister-in-law, does she have a baby in her belly?" Ya'er looked curious. Looking at her actions, she looked so nimble.

She doesn't look like a pregnant person at all. Pregnant women in the 21st century are all giant pandas, a key protected target. Anyone who is not careful all day long is afraid of bumping into them.

"You too, it took a lot of effort to get pregnant with this baby. You should be more careful when doing anything." Apparently Grandma Du was also frightened by her daughter's quick movements and couldn't help but criticize her.

"Don't worry, Mom. Your daughter and I are as strong as an ox, so don't worry." The aunt smiled heartily and didn't take it to heart, and then said, "Mom, you haven't eaten yet, right?

I haven't made lunch yet. You guys wait a minute and I'll go cook it. Ya, please be patient for now. Auntie will prepare something delicious for you."

Grandma Du stood up quickly, thinking about helping her. This girl was living alone, but there was no one to help her cook.

When the aunt saw her, she quickly pushed Grandma Du down on the chair and said, "Mom, I don't need your help. I just asked Dayou to help me light the fire. You have been running all morning, so sit down and have a rest. Dahai, don't forget to give it to you.

"Grandma and uncle bring some water." After saying that, he quickly walked to the kitchen and started busy with the tinkling sound.

Auntie is really very efficient at work. In less than half an hour, the meal was ready. Three dishes and one soup, stewed dried beans with pork belly, fried small fish, fried peanuts, a pot of dumpling soup and a small plate.

Auntie’s pickled chili sauce.

"Mom, brother, you came at the right time today. I bought this pork two days ago when I went to town to check up on my health, and I haven't been willing to eat it. If you come back a few days later, I don't know what to get.

We're here to entertain you," the aunt said, not forgetting to pick up vegetables for Ya'er. As for the other two nephews, she didn't need to greet them, and the two of them ate happily.

"Auntie, the food you cook is more delicious than my grandma's. It's very fragrant," Xiao Jiang said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"It goes without saying that your grandma is so stingy that she would be reluctant to add oil when cooking." Before the aunt could finish her words, Grandma Du glared back. How could she speak ill of her grandma in front of her children?

They are all family members, so there is no need to be polite to each other. In addition, the meal time was a bit late and everyone was hungry. In less than half an hour, three plates of dishes, a basin of soup, and a basket of mixed flour pancakes were all eaten.

The aunt was not busy cleaning up, she just stacked the plates and other things together, put them in the basin and soaked them, and then sat down to talk to my mother, which was the main business.

"Mom, how did you know that both my sisters are pregnant? I originally thought I would tell you during the New Year greetings." Only then did the aunt suddenly think of this question.

"Yesterday when Xiaosong went to town to buy brown sugar, he happened to meet Mr. Guo from our village and asked him to bring a message to us. Anyway, there is nothing going on at home recently, so I asked your elder brother to send me here.

Look at you. By the way, take a look at what’s written on these papers first. You should always follow what’s written on them. This is something I asked someone specifically to ask.” Grandma Du handed over the remaining pregnancy notes.

Give it to aunt.[

The aunt took it and looked at it for a few times, "Mom, where did you get this from? It's really troublesome. I can't eat this or do that. Is it really effective? I didn't follow the above before, isn't it?

They both gave birth to the big sea and the small sea. Look, they are both as strong as calves now." The aunt looked at the densely packed notes written on the paper and couldn't help but have a headache.

"No, you must follow what is written above. This is what I asked an expert to write. You were still young when you gave birth to Dahai and Xiaohai. Now you are in your thirties. Can you compare with before?" Grandma Du's

The attitude is very tough.

"Okay, okay, mother, I will definitely do it," the aunt said with a perfunctory look.

Grandma Du still didn't understand her daughter, so she directly told her eldest uncle, "Big friend, you can take a look at it later. From now on, keep an eye on some peach blossoms. If she doesn't pay attention to anything, also remind her." Although eldest aunt,

She has a lively and energetic personality, but she really listens to her loyal and honest uncle, so grandma gave this task to her uncle.

"Hey, I got it, mother. I will definitely take good care of her," the eldest uncle promised seriously. In fact, he himself felt that his wife was really careless and didn't pay attention to her health at all.

The eldest aunt was so stared at by Grandma Du that she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she had to look at the things that her mother had brought. At this sight, she was shocked, "Mom, where did you get so many good things? You'd better take them back later."

"Okay, you and dad can keep it for yourself. I'm young and strong. I don't need to eat these good things. Just leave the white flour and rice for me. I usually make some porridge."

"Experts have said that these things are good for pregnant women. I brought them here specially. Those dried fruits and apples seem to be able to supplement some nutrients. Eat more walnuts and the children born in the future will be smart." Grandma Du told Zhang Zeyuan

The same set of parenting scriptures was repeated again, "The harvest at home has been good in the past two years. These are all bought for my grandson. The pheasants, rabbits and other things are all caught from the mountains, so you can eat them without worry."

Seeing what Grandma Du said, the aunt stopped saying no, "Hey, God has been very kind to me in the past two years, and the weather has been good. The harvest in our village this year is also good, and life has been much better than in previous years.

", the aunt said with a smile on her face, very satisfied with her current life.

The four adults here were chatting about the harvest at home, and the five little ones over there were also chirping. Dahai and Xiaohai heard that Dajiang and Xiaojiang went back with their grandma this time. The two exchanged glances without telling their aunt,

He took Ya'er's little hand and led Xiao Jiang to their house.

After entering their own territory, the two of them didn't care to talk. They climbed onto the kang, opened the cabinet on the top of the kang, took out two clothes from the cabinet, and wrapped them in a bag. Seeing Xiaohai's actions, they looked at each other and smiled.

, everyone knew what they were going to do. Two cousins, Ya'er and Xiaojiang, provided cover for them and asked them to quickly put their luggage on the oxcart. The two brothers made a small calculation and prepared their clothes.

, even if mother doesn’t let them go to grandma’s house, they can just jump on the bullock cart and leave.

Here, Grandma Du told her aunt a few more words, and after seeing that the sun was getting late, she said she wanted to go home. Knowing that it was a long way, the aunt didn’t stay, so she quickly took out a small jar from the kitchen, which contained her

Pickled chili sauce. During lunch, I saw that Ya'er was not afraid of spicy food and liked it very much, so I asked Grandma Du to take it home.

"Mom, why don't you let Ya'er stay at my house and talk to me? The two boys at home are away from home all day long, and it's weird for me to talk at home alone." The aunt came out of the room next to her.

Looking at Ya'er's little appearance, I couldn't help but ask.

"No, mother, we are going to her house with Ya'er today. Dajiang and Xiaojiang are also going. We also want to take Ya'er to play." Before Grandma Du could speak, Brother Dahai spoke first.

"You two brats, go wherever you like, just leave Ya'er to me," the aunt scolded her with a smile.

Brothers, you look at me and I look at you. Suddenly Dahai picked up Ya'er and rushed out of the yard, shouting as he ran, "Mom, we have packed the change of clothes ourselves and put them on the cattle car. I took them with me."

Ya'er is waiting for uncle at the entrance of the village, please take your time." The remaining three brothers followed and slipped out quickly.

"You guys, go ahead, I can be clean for a few days," the aunt said, a bit dumbfounded.

"Just ask Dahai and Xiaohai to follow me back and stay for a few days. It just so happens that Dajiang and Xiaojiang are also going. I will ask your elder brother to send them back before the end of the year. You don't have to worry about them. Take care of your health." Grandma Du couldn't bear it.

After giving some instructions to the carefree girl, she got on the bullock cart.

When the oxcart arrived at the entrance of the village, the five children were waiting eagerly. The two younger cousins, like monkeys, climbed on the oxcart before it stopped. Ya'er was also carried into the oxcart.

The oxcarts, big and small, were packed full of people. The cheerful chatter and laughter, accompanied by the afterglow gradually setting in the west, formed the most beautiful scenery on the country road in late autumn.
