Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

After setting off a bunch of firecrackers, eating hot dumplings, and paying New Year's greetings to several elders in the family, Du's father and his second uncle took a few boys out to pay New Year's greetings. Here, Du's mother also packed up neatly and specially put on Ya'er's clothes.

The red woolen coat Grandma Wang made for her last time, she called her second aunt, and the Detachment of Women's Army New Year's greeting group set out to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village.

Grandpa Du, Grandpa Li and other elders were sitting at home like old ladies, waiting for others to come to pay New Year greetings. Of course, Grandma Du took out the candies, peanuts, pecans, etc. that she had prepared early.

, these are the ultimate goals of the children who come to pay New Year greetings. They all have big pockets, so it’s not enough to be less prepared.

This year is Ya'er's first time to go with Ma Du to pay New Year greetings. In the past two years, Ma Du thought she was too young and never let her go. Before Ya'er went out, she saw that she only had two small pockets, and they could only hold enough.

A few pieces of candy, and then thinking about the four or five coat pockets of my brothers, I deliberately emptied my embroidered little school bag and hung it around my neck. If the pockets are too small, I will suffer a loss, so I will use this little book to pack the village.

Grandpa and grandma gave me sweets, so I don’t have to carry them home again and again.

Ya'er secretly admired her own cleverness and set a goal for herself, which was to have at least half the contents of her school bag. When Du Ma saw Ya'er patting the small school bag on her chest, her round and big almond-shaped eyes were filled with joy.

She almost narrowed her eyes to a slit, and then she knew what the little devil's plan was, and she pointed her finger at Ya'er's little head with both hate and love, "You are such a devil, a little money addict."

Mother Du and the others first went to the home of the fifth grandfather, who was the senior and oldest in the village. When they arrived there, the people in the courtyard of the fifth grandfather’s house could almost be described as bustling, and they all came to pay their New Year greetings to the fifth grandfather. However,

These folks all know that Grandma Wu is not in good health recently, and most of her visits to Grandpa Fifth are in the yard and they leave.[

Grandpa Fifth saw little Ya'er who came to pay New Year's greetings. She was dressed beautifully, but there was a small schoolbag hanging unexpectedly around her neck. He was so old that he didn't know Ya'er's little plan. "Hey, this year little Ya'er will also follow

Come out to pay New Year's greetings. Come on, go inside and see your Fifth Grandma. You haven't been here these days, but she misses you, my little baby. Don't worry, Fifth Grandpa will definitely fill your little schoolbag for you in a while."

Ya'er quickly ran into the house, where Fifth Grandma was sitting on the kang leaning against the quilt. After Zhang Zeyuan's non-stop acupuncture for more than a month, Fifth Grandma's body has recovered very well recently, and she can be helped to walk a few steps.

Although the speech is still a bit unclear, it can be understood. At the beginning, he could only make a sound of "Ah". Ya'er followed Zhang Zeyuan a while ago, so the relationship between the old and the young was so loud.

Things progressed by leaps and bounds, and sometimes the intimacy between the two made Grandpa Wu a little jealous. No, after entering the house, Ya'er stuck her butt out and lay on the edge of the kang, letting Grandma Wu hold her little hand, and smiled with Grandma Wu.

say.

When the Fifth Grandpa also entered the house, Ya'er imitated the movements of children in New Year paintings, and greeted the two old people with New Year greetings. With a small mouth and a set of auspicious words, it was so smooth that several people in the room were moved.

Ya'er was amused by her tricks. Who did this little girl learn so many auspicious words from? She said them all without repeating them. Grandpa Five also kept his word and stuffed them into Ya'er's little schoolbag.

A lot of melon seeds, peanuts, candies and so on.

When she came out of Fifth Grandpa's house, Ya'er weighed the half-filled school bag. Hehe, he reached his goal ahead of schedule.

From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, there were old people and elders in the family, and several people paid their respects. By the time the New Year greetings were over, Ya'er's small schoolbag was already full. Ya'er was carrying a schoolbag.

When the things were walking home, they caught the attention of the other little kids in the village. They all made up their minds to follow Ya'er's example when celebrating the New Year next year. They carried schoolbags and there were no books in their pockets.

There is a lot of packaging.

When Ya'er returned home and was about to pour out her New Year's harvest, she found that the basket of snacks that grandma took out in the morning had also been divided completely. It seemed that the other children in the village were not weak in fighting ability.

This New Year greeting is the favorite thing for little kids and half-grown kids. No matter where they go, they can get a lot of melon seeds, candies and so on. No one will be stingy at this time. If you go around to pay New Year greetings, you can get

There are a lot of snacks that they can't usually eat, which are enough for them to eat for many days.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Wang have also really seen what it’s like to pay New Year’s greetings. There have been people coming and going at home all morning, all coming to pay New Year’s greetings. In the past few days, Grandpa Li often followed Grandpa Du out to visit.

, are familiar with many people in the village. Therefore, the old couple were not left behind by those who came to pay New Year greetings to Grandpa Du and Grandma Du. The old couple were just having fun all morning, and when Ya'er came home

, I have been so happy all morning that I haven’t closed my mouth yet.

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day when two aunts came to pay New Year's greetings, but after waiting and waiting, they didn't come. Grandma Du felt anxious. The two girls had babies in their bellies. What could happen?

When Grandma Du was about to send her uncle to pick up her aunt and the others, Xiaohai's loud voice came all the way from the street.

It turns out that because both aunts are carrying babies in their bellies, and this is the most dangerous time, and the mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk, the eldest uncle’s ox cart is slower than the one on foot, so

It was only then that we arrived home. Grandma Du was relieved after hearing the reason. She also repeatedly told her uncle and the others to go back slowly. Don't be afraid of being slow, just be afraid of being fast.

Regarding the sudden appearance of three more people in the family, aunt and uncle, they seemed to have heard the children at home talking about Zhang Zeyuan, Grandpa Li, and Grandma Wang, so they were not surprised. Although the aunts still murmured a little about Grandpa Du and Grandma Du in their hearts.

Dad and the others are too bold, they just pick people up from home and recognize relatives at will. But they trust Grandpa Du’s judgment. Since Grandpa Du dares to pick them up from home, it means nothing will happen. But they just

They were thinking about it in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces. They all greeted Grandpa Li and the others affectionately. However, it must be said that these thoughts had disappeared when they returned home. After a short period of time,

During the meal, the aunts and uncles recognized the three relatives who joined later.

Ya'er's cousins ​​had no idea. Last time they all ate the canned fruit given by Grandpa Li and the others, so they had a good impression of the old couple. Especially after hearing from Haoxuan and the others that Grandma Wang was still

After I wanted to give them new schoolbags, I ran to Grandpa Li and the others one by one. Grandpa Li and Grandma Wang were so affectionate that they wanted to get the new schoolbags into their hands as soon as possible.

When Grandpa Du saw his four happy grandsons carrying schoolbags, he mentioned their schooling to his two uncles and said that as long as it was not a busy time for farming, he would let his cousins ​​go to school here. Of course, the two uncles were happy to do so.

It’s not that there has been so much commotion outside in the past few years, they had already sent a few boys to study in the commune. When they were studying in the village, Grandpa Du and Grandma Du were watching, so they had nothing to worry about. The two uncles knew a few of the children in the family.

The boy's appetite was high, and he planned to send some rations over when he had time. The cousins ​​knew that their parents agreed that they would continue to go to school here, and they felt excited when they touched the new schoolbag given by Grandma Wang.

Since my aunt and the others came over late and didn't say much, Ma Du and Aunt Du brought lunch. The lunch was very sumptuous. The sons-in-law came to visit again today, but they have to be well prepared to save face. As the saying goes:

That is, "When the son-in-law comes to the door, the little chicken will die." Here, Ma Du and the other children are engrossed in eating delicious food. Over there, Grandpa Du and Grandpa Li are drinking wine leisurely.

The glasses were toasted and the cups were exchanged, and the lively conversation was lively.

After lunch, Grandma Du held the hands of the two girls and kept looking at their slightly bulging bellies. Although the two girls looked good, Grandma Du was not at ease as a mother. Grandma Du

While he was looking at the girls' bellies, he turned around and saw Zhang Zeyuan, who was raising a glass to Grandpa Du, Grandpa Li and the others. He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, how could I forget such a thing."

Grandma Du was worried about the health of her two daughters. Look at Zhang Zeyuan, isn't there a brilliant doctor in the family? The family never got sick at all, not even fever or bad stomach, so she didn't even think about Xiao Zhang for a while.

Still a doctor.

Before the banquet was over, Grandma Du, who couldn't let go of her worries, pulled Zhang Zeyuan over and asked him to examine his two aunts. Zhang Zeyuan, who was slightly drunk, was made to laugh and cry by the anxious Grandma Du, "

Auntie, I just drank some wine, and my pulse may be a little inaccurate now. Please ask me to sober up first, and I will check the two girls later."

Hearing what Zhang Zeyuan said, Grandma Du felt embarrassed. She didn't know if Xiao Zhang was full just now, so she pulled her over. "Xiao Zhang, my aunt didn't know if you were full, so she pulled you over."

Come here. You go over to have some food and sober up, but you must not drink anymore." Zhang Zeyuan was then passed by Grandma Du again.

Zhang Zeyuan, who was brought to the dinner table again, had not eaten much after all. Grandma Du's glances from time to time made his slight drunkenness disappear quickly.

According to the results of Zhang Zeyuan's examination, both aunts were in good health, and the fetus was also very healthy. After hearing Zhang Zeyuan's words, Grandma Du finally felt relieved, as long as she was healthy. It was only then that Ya'er realized that it was not popular at this time.

As for prenatal check-ups, many people did not even go to the hospital from pregnancy to the birth of their children, and delivered their babies directly on the kang at home. Now that there is an opportunity for Zhang Zeyuan to check the health of two aunts, Ya'er feels that the opportunity is rare.

It can be considered a prenatal check-up.[

After checking the body of the two aunts, Zhang Zeyuan, who was a good teacher, was not willing to miss this opportunity, so he asked Ya'er to check the pulse of the two aunts, and explained to her in detail what the slippery pulse was, how to judge the condition of the fetus, and how to

Determine the month. It was supposed to be a very simple examination, but it turned into clinical teaching. At first it was talking and listening, and later it was answering and asking questions. The discussion between one large and one small was very lively. Of course, the other

Although people don’t understand much when they listen, they watch it with gusto.

After the clinical teaching of the two of them was over, it was time for the aunts to go home. However, a few cousins ​​had trouble again. They didn't want to go home, so they had to stay directly today to save money.

They still need someone to send them to school. Auntie and the others couldn't agree to let them live here during the Chinese New Year. They coaxed them to go home and then send them here when school starts.

After coaxing and coaxing the children, they still refused to go home, so the aunt said that she didn’t bring them any changes of clothes. Upon hearing the aunt’s excuse, the four brothers actually laughed proudly. It looked like this

The four boys unexpectedly made a plan in advance. Here, Xiaohai climbed under the oxcart, took out a small baggage from the bottom of the cart, opened it, and found a change of clothes for the two brothers. Over there, Dajiang also brought a change of clothes from his aunt and the others.

A small baggage was also pulled out from the pile of things that came. The younger ones took the small baggage wrapped with clothes and signaled to the aunt, "Look, we have already prepared a change of clothes." The four brothers looked very proud.

, obviously very proud of their move, and actually started a guerrilla war with their own parents.

After all this fuss, Grandpa Li became more and more fond of the cleverness of the boys and spoke up for them. There was no need to go into details. You can tell the answer just by looking at their smug and proud expressions.

The third day of the junior high school was the day when Du Ma returned to her parents' home. Grandpa and grandma were both in good health, so Du Ma was relieved. They had a lively reunion dinner, except for the second aunt who was very jealous of Ya'er's clothes and said a few words.

Apart from the sarcastic words, the atmosphere was quite lively.

The leisurely days after the New Year passed very quickly, and it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye. The purchasing department would be open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and Grandpa Li and Grandma Wang had to go back today. The ten days in Qinghe Bay were a lifetime experience for the old couple.

In the most lively days of the year, both of them now have the idea of ​​​​living here for a long time. This idea becomes more and more intense as they occasionally come to Qinghe Bay to stay for a few days. Of course, this is a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.

The children were very reluctant to let the old couple go back. Grandpa Li always helped them out when grandpa beat them. Grandma Wang would also tell them stories. When they heard that the old couple was leaving, they burst into tears.

The old couple looked at each other and then at the little Ya'er who also had reddish eyes. Their years of tacit understanding made them understand each other's thoughts. Although they also wanted to take the other children to stay at home for a few days, the place at home was really too small.

It was too small and could not accommodate so many people at once. It was hard for the couple to decide who to live in, so they had to make the decision on Xiao Ya'er.

"Old brother, how about letting our precious granddaughter stay with us for a few days? The school in the village won't start until the 16th, and I promise to send Ya'er back then." Grandpa Li looked at Grandpa Du nervously,

I'm afraid Grandpa Du won't agree.

Seeing Li Qingyuan's expectant expression, Grandpa Du couldn't bear to refuse, although he was a little reluctant to let his granddaughter leave home for so long.

"I said no, are you willing? Okay, let Ya'er stay there for a few days. You don't need to send her away then. They only went out to build the river on the 16th day of the first lunar month after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Just let him pick up Ya'er on the 14th day of the first lunar month.

With your old arms and legs, I can’t trust you to give Ya’er away.” I agreed, but Grandpa Du still couldn’t help but quarrel with Grandpa Li.

Hearing Grandpa Du agree, Grandpa Li didn't care what Grandpa Du said about his old arms and legs. He could just take his precious granddaughter home for a few days.

Grandma Du caught an old hen from the chicken coop, took two dried fish, put some rice noodles on it, and added a small jar of pickles. Ling Ling prepared a lot of things for Grandma Wang.

It is something that is used daily and cannot be bought even if you have money. Grandma Wang does not hesitate. After living here for such a long time, she has long regarded this family as her own relatives and regards this place as her second home.

When the sun gradually rose, Ya'er held the old hen in her arms, followed Grandpa Li and others on the ox cart, and prepared to go to the county town to stay for a few days. At this time, Ya'er never expected that her short stay in the county town would be

It will be like a spy movie for a few days, but what is exciting is that she herself actually made a cameo appearance in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".

The author has something to say: There have been a lot of things lately, so I had to write until midnight.

Seeing how hard the author has worked, dear friends, I am asking for flowers.

In the next chapter, more important characters will appear, and Nanzhu is about to bubble up.

The procrastinating author couldn't help it anymore.
