vines and melons

Chapter 40

Fang Jie often regretted that she could not support her mother and sister. That night, the two sisters got into bed and whispered, Fang Jie asked her sister: "Do you feel that sister is cowardly?"

Fang Qiong shook her head and said, "No, I think you are brave!"

Fang Jie thought her sister was trying to laugh at her, so she scratched her elbow and said, "Really? To be honest?"

"Really! Really!" Fang Qiong smiled happily, "You dare to touch the hen's asshole, but I dare not!"

It started a month ago,
The hen of Aifen's family ran back to the kiln to eat with bumps. She thought the chicken had laid eggs, so she went to the chicken coop to check, but found no eggs, and muttered, "Dead chickens, they won't lay eggs, they are screaming!"

At this time, Fang Jie just came back from the outside and saw eggs in her chicken coop, so she took them away.

Aifen saw this scene, she came over to take the eggs in Fang Jie's hand, feeling warm, thinking that her chickens must have gone to the wrong nest.She asked, "Did you hear your goosebumps? Did you see your chickens come back to eat?"

Fang Jie shook her head with a confused look on her face.Her face was confused, her heart was not confused, and she knew what her aunt meant, but she just didn't want to return the eggs to her aunt, thinking: Why!Just based on your doubts? !Besides, the eggs I took from my chicken coop are wrong, and it is also your chicken's fault.At that time, she did not give the eggs to the aunt.

So far, as long as Aifen feeds the chicken, it will be knocked (a way of scolding): eat dead things that are grilled inside and out!ungrateful! ..."

Fang Jie felt uncomfortable, and was afraid that her mother would be angry. Later, she sent an egg to her aunt's house, which stopped her from scolding her every day.

In order to avoid similar situations, Fang Jie catches the hens and touches the buttholes one by one when she puts the chickens out every morning. If she touches the hard ones with her fingers, she knows that the chicken will lay eggs today, so she directly circles them.That way nothing goes wrong.

Touching the asshole of the chicken every day is Fang Jie's business, but Fang Qiong dare not, she said, because she is afraid of the asshole biting her finger.

The sisters giggled again as they spoke.

One day at the end of August 1977, a young man who looked like Fang Qing asked Fang Wannian at the entrance of the village.Some people marveled that it was Fang Qing's reappearance.

Fang Qun came back.

This year he was admitted to Henan University. Before going to the university to register, he went to his hometown to visit, hoping to meet his grandfather.

The name of Qunyi was given by Fang Wannian. It was auspicious, and he hoped that the eldest grandson would bring a group of grandchildren. It was Fang Wannian's wish to have a full house of children and grandchildren.In the end, Fang Wannian's hopes came to naught, Fang Yuan had no children, and Qun Yi became the only one.

When Qunyi was young, Fang Qing brought him back once a year to let him remember the way back home.Fang Qing often said: "My hometown is your root, and you can't forget your roots even if the tree is thousands of feet tall." He understands this, and people should never forget their hometown.

Qu Zhi calculated that he hadn't come back for thirteen or four years, so he felt ashamed and sorry for his father.

Now, he is standing at the entrance of the village, feeling the scene, his grandfather taught him to write and read, and his words and deeds with love and sternness are vivid in his memory.I thought: I don’t know if grandpa is still alive, how old is grandpa, he is vague in his mind, he thinks he must be over 80...
Looking around, the hometown in front of him is no longer what he was when he was a child. He is confused and can no longer distinguish things.

Guizhi heard that a young man with a clear appearance was asking about Fang Wannian at the entrance of the village, so he must be one of the group.She had never met Qun Yi before, but had only seen photos, and her deep eyes resembled Fang Qing very much.When they first got married, Gui Zhi said to Fang Qing: "You can bring Qun Yi home for dinner, I don't dislike the child." Yun Duo thought, causing a misunderstanding.When Fang Qing passed away, one of Fang's strong conditions was: wait for Fang Jie to take over Fang Qing's class when he was 18 years old.At that time, this condition was indeed difficult for others, and the government reluctantly agreed to it in order to settle the matter.Knowing that the world is unpredictable, Gui Zhi regretted for a while that she did not say that Qun Yi would take over. At that time, Qun Yi was 17 years old, but where would she find Qun Yi? Yes, she regretted that she didn't try to find Qunyi at that time, but this was also Guizhi's imagination.Thinking about it, at that time, she was angry like a fool, and the mud bodhisattva could not protect herself when crossing the river, so how could she care about this.
