Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

Ya'er's little life recently can be described in three words: simple, fulfilling, and happy. Every day, grandma helps them when cooking, learns medical knowledge from Uncle Zhang, and teases the brothers at home.

, those childhood days are called a beauty.

Time always passes by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, February is here. "On February 2, the dragon raises its head, and the emperor plows the land and ministers drive cattle." The arrival of February means that the spring plowing of the new year is about to begin. Cat

The folks who have been waiting for a whole winter are now gearing up and eager to give it a try. They can't wait to use all the energy they have held back all winter. These simple folks clearly understand the principle that only hard work in spring can be rewarded in autumn.

Only then can you feel the joy of harvest.

Early in the morning on February 2nd, Grandpa Du called all the boys at home and said that he would shave their heads one by one. Hao Xuan and Hao Yu, who knew their grandfather's skills well, covered their scalps tightly.

let go.

In the past, they were still young, and the friends in the village all had similar hair styles, so they didn't think much about it. But since they went to school, the two brothers have slowly come up with their own ideas. They don't want to spend the whole day talking.

They went out with that kind of hairstyle, and they were planning to wait until their hair grew longer so that Du Ma could give them the hairstyle of a revolutionary teenager.

"Grandpa, our hair is not very long, let's talk about it later," Haoxuan said and was about to leave. Originally, the four Jiang Hai brothers were so-called. Anyway, they would shave their heads at this time of year at home. But a few of them

Seeing Haoxuan's frightened expression, although I don't know the reason, it is definitely not a good thing. Thinking of this, the four brothers also want to run away.[

Grandpa Du grabbed Haoxuan who was taking the lead and said, "What do you know? As the old saying goes, on the second day of February, when the dragon raises its head, every child shaves his or her head. If you shave your head on this day, you will have a strong body throughout this year and no diseases."

.

Hao Xuan touched his brain-broken scalp and couldn't help but said, "Grandpa, you call this feudal superstition. Chairman Mao taught us to oppose feudal superstition. He also taught us that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance.

.If we say we won’t shave, we won’t shave.”

"There is no oppression, no resistance. You have started to rebel before your hair is fully grown, right? Please sit down for me." Grandpa Du pressed Haoxuan tightly on the stool with his big, plier-like hands.

Go up. To deal with these brats in the family, you have to suppress them with force. For them, hard fists are the truth, and force decides everything.

Seeing that Haoxuan, who was taking the lead, was suppressed by force by Grandpa Du, the four brothers Haoyu and Jiang Hai immediately stood by and waited for Grandpa Du to shave their heads. In more than half an hour, six identical pot heads were freshly baked.

Ya'er was so happy watching it, this Grandpa Du-style pot lid head was really, well, too local. When Haoxuan and the others saw their precious sister gloating about their misfortune, Xiao Hai, who reacted the fastest, shouted, "

"Grandpa, you are called patriarchal, why do you only shave our heads and not Ya'er?"

Hearing Xiaohai shout this, the remaining people must be very interesting when they think of their sister's pretty and cute little face with a pot head that is exactly like theirs. Thinking of this, they can't help but want to laugh, and they all nodded,

"That's it, grandpa, why don't you shave Ya'er's head? Uncle Zhang said, this is called patriarchal preference."

Zhang Zeyuan, who was standing next to him, saw several boys using the idioms he taught them in such a way. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should praise them for their ability to learn and apply the idioms, or criticize them for using the idioms indiscriminately.

When Grandpa Du saw how many brats dared to say that they favored sons over daughters, and even involved his precious granddaughter, he was furious and prepared to give them some shoe soles to let them know what favoring sons over daughters really meant.

However, before Grandpa Du started to use force to suppress it, Ya'er said lightly, "If you wear braids like me, Grandpa will definitely not shave your heads. Otherwise, from now on, you can also grow your hair."

.In this case, grandpa won’t shave your heads like this next year at this time.” He even glanced at their heads with a look of disgust on his face.

Ya'er's light words immediately killed the brothers who were about to see her joke. After hearing what Ya'er said, the brothers immediately imagined that they had two braids on their heads that were the same as Ya'er's. Thinking of this

, several people shuddered, it was so scary. Forget it, just a pot head, it’s better than a braid. However, what kind of pot head my sister was talking about, well, that’s a pretty good name.

The silly boy was having fun again.

Haoyu also had a lot of fun and came up with a jingle, put a pot lid on your head, don't worry about the rain. When he told his brothers about the jingle he came up with, they thought about it, hey, it's really smooth.

.Thinking about it this way, several people were not so disgusted with the pot head. At this moment, none of the boys expected that this jingle would soon be heard in the village, and the boy who had been hurt by the hair style would

People spread the word, and for a while the pothead became boys' favorite hairstyle.

Grandpa Du stood by and watched his little granddaughter talking about those silly boys with a small mouth, and he felt very happy in his heart. These brats in the family together are not as smart as his little granddaughter. Every time

The little granddaughter makes her grandsons so funny that they can't help but think about it. Having such a little granddaughter in the family brings so much fun to him, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

After her brothers went to school, Ya'er looked at Grandpa Du who was busy tinkering with farm tools and asked, "Grandpa, when will dad and uncle come back? It's been almost a month since they left. Ya'er misses them."

.

"It's coming soon, it will only take these two days. When they come back, spring plowing will start in the village soon," Grandpa Du said while polishing all the farm tools around him to a shiny finish. These are all his old friends.

, it’s easy to use.

Grandpa Du guessed it accurately. That afternoon, Father Du and his uncle came back with their beddings covered with dust. Although they looked tired, they were not thin. Later, Ya'er heard her uncle say,

Although digging rivers and building embankments is very hard, one advantage is that you can eat as much as you want. As long as your stomach can hold it, you can eat as much as you want. When she heard this statement, Ya'er looked at her brother-in-law who had become much stronger.

Suddenly I thought, my uncle and father are not willing to eat enough. Otherwise, how could they have gained a lot of weight after working hard work outside for a month.

"The light rain in the sky is as moist as crisp, and the color of grass looks far away but is close." The spring rain fell like silk all day long. The weather cleared up the next day, and I looked into the mountains from a distance, and the grass secretly emerged from the ground.

, spread a layer of tender green carpet on the moist land, and the dry branches also sprouted buds, covering the vast mountains with a tender green coat.

After the spring rain, spring plowing began, and the village became busy again. Old and young went to work together, leaving early and returning late every day. Brothers Lian Haoxuan and Haoyu also go to class in the morning and follow the adults to work in the fields in the afternoon. Brothers.

One is fourteen years old, the other is twelve years old, and they can work as well as half the adults.

As for the four Jianghai brothers, because Grandpa Du was afraid that his grandchildren would not be able to continue going to school after returning home, which would delay their studies. In addition, it was not the busiest time yet, so the four Jianghai brothers still lived in Qinghe Bay and continued to go to school.

.However, since they are not villagers in Qinghewan, they do not have to work in the fields to earn work points. But for the four brothers Jiang Hai, they would rather work in the fields than stay at home. No, Ya'er

Started calling them again.

"Brother Dahai, there is no water in the water tank. Hurry up and bring two buckets of water. Grandma will use it when cooking at night."[

"Brother Xiao Jiang, please stop sweeping the yard now. You haven't fed the pigs yet. Hurry up and get some pig grass and come back."

"Brother Xiao Hai, let's eat shepherd's purse with it tonight. You can go dig some from the back mountain and bring it back. Remember to dig some tender ones. Humph, the wild vegetables that Brother Xiao Hai dug last time were too old to bite."

"Brother Dajiang, come here and wash your clothes. I can't wash so many clothes. From now on, you have to wash the clothes yourself."

Several cousins ​​are bossed around by Xiao Yaer every day. They are not afraid of putting in the effort, and they have done a lot of work at home, but they are really unwilling to do things like cleaning clothes, feeding pigs, and other tasks that are only done by girls. However,

Whenever the brothers wanted to resist, Grandpa Du and Dad Du jointly suppressed them before they could say anything. Their resistance and appeals were directly rejected.

Now that Ya'er has a helper, she takes the initiative to take over half of the housework at home, which makes Grandma Du a lot easier. Although there are more than a dozen people in the family now, the housework is not easy at all, but it is heavy and dirty work.

They were all done by the cousins ​​who were already used to it. For a while, the family became very orderly due to the efforts of the brothers and sisters. Grandma Du saw that most of the housework was done by her grandchildren and granddaughters, so she

There is no need to interfere, just stir-fry, cook and so on every day, that is called leisure. Looking at the clean home taken care of by several children, Grandma Du is so happy every day that she opens her mouth from ear to ear, oh,

The children in the family are all good and filial children.

Ya'er, who was in charge of overall arrangements every day, would sometimes follow her friends to dig some wild vegetables. However, one day, Ya'er suddenly heard the greedy fat girl mutter, "This year, all the wild ducks in the reed marsh have run away.

Where are they? Why aren't they laying eggs yet? I've been looking for them every day for the past two days and only found one in total. I also want to pick up a few more for my mother to pickle salted duck eggs for me to eat."

After hearing what Fat Ya said, Ya'er remembered why she always felt like something was missing recently. But at this time last year, she would run to the reed swamp every now and then and pick up duck eggs with her friends. Of course, she also

I have to put duck eggs in. If Fat Ya hadn't said this today, I would have really forgotten about it.

That night, after Ya'er waited for Du's father and Du's mother to fall asleep, she controlled the space by herself and released a lot of wild duck eggs into the reed swamp. Now her ability to control this space has been inexplicably enhanced a lot.

Ya'er was very happy that she could lay duck eggs without anyone noticing, without having to run to the reed swamps all the time.

There are many children who have the same idea as Fat Ya. Last year, all of them were addicted to picking up duck eggs. It was like pie falling from the sky. So when the children wandered around the reed swamp again the next day, they found that the wild ducks had finally

Eggs have begun to be laid, and a new round of duck egg collecting craze has begun. However, due to being frightened by Director Wu of the commune last year, not many villagers are ready to sell the collected wild duck eggs this year, and most of them are prepared to keep them.

Eat it at home. Anyway, the money you sold is to buy some delicious food for the adults and children. It's better to just eat it. It's better than selling duck eggs, which is more scary.

The four Jianghai brothers heard Haoxuan and others talk about this matter last year and were very curious. Unfortunately, they didn't see it last year. So when they heard that the wild ducks in the reeds had begun to lay eggs, they wanted to run there every day.

So to the children who are five, six, six or seven years old, the four Jianghai brothers can be considered adults. If they pick up with all their strength, those little children will not be able to pick up anything.

Therefore, Grandpa Du often restrains them and asks them to stop for a few days to pick up four or five duck eggs. Otherwise, the duck eggs will be picked up by his own grandson, and the villagers will gossip. Moreover, although Grandpa Du does not know that his little granddaughter is

How did he do it? But he can also guess that Ya'er should have put those duck eggs. Otherwise, when life was so hard a few years ago, no one noticed it. But fortunately, the villagers can now occupy such a big part.

It's cheap, but no one wants to delve into it.

The busy days are simple and fulfilling, and the summer harvest is about to begin in a blink of an eye. The primary school in the village is also on holiday. The annual summer harvest and autumn harvest days are also days when the villagers race against time. Every second counts, otherwise it will rain.

, the crops have been destroyed in the fields, and the only thing left to drink next year is the northwest wind.

That night, after dinner, Grandpa Du said to Father Du, "Before harvesting the crops has started, ask for leave from the village tomorrow, send some of their brothers back, and take a look at your two sisters.

They are all pregnant, so let the children go home and help the family with some work."

"Hey, then I'll go and tell the village chief early tomorrow morning." Father Du agreed simply. He was also worried about the two girls.

"When you guys get home, help your parents with more work and don't make them angry." Grandpa Du saw his grandsons looking excited and knew that they were all homesick, but he still warned them.

A few words from them.

The four Jiang Hai brothers nodded quickly when they heard what Grandpa Du said. They were also afraid of grandpa before, but after living in Qinghe Bay for half a year, they realized that grandpa was kind to them before. Now they are beaten every now and then.

, Grandpa Du’s words are an imperial edict to them. If they don’t listen, fine, just wait and get beaten.

When Grandma Du heard that Father Du was going to visit her two daughters tomorrow, she started to talk about it. The two daughters were both married far away from each other, which was rarely seen. In addition, the two daughters were now pregnant and were about to give birth.

Now, it's busy farming time again, so the old lady is worried.

"Tomorrow you bring some duck eggs for them, and then bring the two old hens at home. When the baby is born, let them make chicken soup to drink. Also, tomorrow you can weigh them from the commune's supply and marketing cooperative.

Brown sugar, and "", the more Grandma Du talked, the more she became more and more uneasy.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was so worried about the two sisters-in-law, Ma Du felt a little sour. However, there is no mother who doesn’t love her daughter. Besides, both her mother-in-law and the two sisters-in-law were very good to her. Thinking of this, Ma Du

I couldn't help but said, "Mom, Ya'er's father is going to send some nephews home tomorrow anyway, why don't you go and see the two sisters too, so that you can feel at ease."

When Grandma Du said this, Grandma Du's eyes lit up, but then she thought again and began to hesitate again, "Then how will you people eat at noon tomorrow?"

"Mom, there's nothing to worry about. At worst, I'll just come back early at noon tomorrow. Anyway, I can't remember a few centimeters. Those families in the village who don't have elders, who's family didn't come here like this?" [

Ya'er, who was listening to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking next to her, also nodded her head, "That's right, that's right, grandma, don't worry. I'm still at home, and I can do anything now." She puffed out her little chest and said,

Just leave everything to me, don't worry.

Seeing that her daughter was so sensible and obedient, Mother Du was very happy, and she simply gave her mother-in-law a good deal, "Mom, why don't you just stay at my eldest sister's house for a while, and then come back after she gives birth to you. My eldest sister followed

The younger sister is different. Her mother-in-law does not live with them, and there is no one to take care of her during the confinement period. Besides, even if you don't watch, you will still have to worry about her at home all day long."

Grandma Du was very happy when she heard what her daughter-in-law and granddaughter said. The daughter-in-law here is virtuous and filial, and the granddaughter is considerate and sensible. She is indeed a blessed old lady as the old sisters said. Thinking of this, Grandma Du was smitten.

Thigh, yes, it’s settled, I will go live with my daughter’s house tomorrow and take care of her during her confinement period.

Grandpa Du has the final say on major matters in the Du family, and Grandma Du has the final say on minor matters. Going to stay at my daughter's house for a few days is a trivial matter. Grandma Du has made the decision, and Grandpa Du has no objection. He is also worried about his daughter.

So, the matter was settled with everyone's support.
