Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 1
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are icicles hanging from the branches under the eaves, and the wind is very harsh.

This rare snowy day is really disturbing to the people of Taozhuang. They all nestle at home with their sleeves wrapped up and cook with charcoal and firewood, talking about the weather and the harvest related to the weather, and sometimes sighing about the rare snow and The icicles hung on the thatched roof, looking like snot from a hut that was not frozen.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, Li He who lived at the head of the village was feeding the pigs. Taking advantage of the time when the pigs were eating, he looked at his half-built tile-roofed house very proudly. He took a long breath and said to the old man who was painting the walls: " Old man, look at the icicles, which are really happy and shiny."

Old man Li, who was painting the wall, continued his work without saying a word, smearing mud on the wall.The eldest son, Li Dehai, who was painting the walls together, muttered, "What's so joyous about this? It's a cold day. Mother is happy to see that the front half is covered with tiles, but the thatched roof on the back half is still leaking."

Li He didn't hear his son's muttering, and gave the pig more food, feeling very happy in his heart.In this Taozhuang, there are a few families who can live in tile-roofed houses. Although they are half of the tile-roofed houses and the second half is thatched, they are also tile-roofed houses!The third child is in Yunzhou City, married a wife and has a baby, so he is a city resident. Sooner or later, the thatch on the back half will be covered with tiles, and then they will look at them.

After thinking about the good things, I thought about the bad ones. The second daughter-in-law has been unable to give birth to a child for so many years. Working in the village next door, the third child is coming back soon, but he just doesn't know how to open his mouth...I couldn't help but get angry, just at this moment I forgot to add pig food, and the pig was screaming loudly, she took a scoop He slammed it over, "Crow and scream, you know how to scream! You know that you can't even lay a piglet when you eat!" This is still not relieved, looking at the chicken on the ground, there is another bang: "What are you running, it has been two days. No more eggs!"

Old man Li, who was painting the wall, was covered in mud spots, and persuaded: "His mother, it's almost the Chinese New Year, so why don't you say anything."

Li He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard a woman with a vegetable basket walking by in front of the yard and said, "Ma'am, look how many people are there on the road, I'm afraid Brother Dequan's family has come back?"

Immediately, Li He's complexion cleared up immediately, and he patted his thigh, "No, I sent a message a few days ago, and I calculated that the day is almost up, but I'm dizzy from being busy, and it's not like the people in the house can't use it." No one!"

The woman who was making noodles in the kitchen flew out immediately, and started to shout in a rough voice: "Lichun, Lixia! Come back quickly, your third uncle is back—"

It was the first time Gu Yu went back to his hometown with his parents, and this was what he saw.

She is nine years old this year, and it has been half a year since she came to this time and space. She has been ill before, and she finally recovered. She has not had time to go out to get familiar with the familiar environment, but she heard from her parents that she is going back to her hometown to settle down.

She was looking at the house just now. The tile-roofed house seemed to be better than other houses in the village. There were strings of chili, corn and garlic hanging under the tile-roofed house. The red ones were red and the white ones were white, which looked very pleasing.

Before she had a good look at the farmyard, she was startled by a person jumping out. A woman in her 30s walked straight towards their family. At this time, Gu Yu's small head quickly came up with four words: Hei is short and stout. If you look closer, your eyebrows are sparse, your nostrils are upturned, your lips are as thick as swollen, one eye is big and the other is small, your face is not only black, but also shiny with oil. The skin was even more like the peel of an orange, and the cuffs of a blue coarse cotton padded jacket were already shiny, as if a layer of black paint had formed.Even though he was smiling at this time, Xiao Gu Yu couldn't help but gasped.

"His third uncle, you're back. My mother is looking forward to it. This is Gu Yu, I haven't seen much, and I'm looking at Junsheng." After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Gu Yu hurriedly hid behind her sister Li Xiaoman, looked at the sleeves and felt disgusted, thinking that if those thick arms grabbed her little neck, she might die half of her life.

Xiao Man embraced Gu Yu with a smile, "Auntie, Gu Yu has admitted her life."

The two men who were painting the wall also came over. Xiaoman took Gu Yu and called each other grandpa and uncle, and won another round of compliments.

Gu Yu took the opportunity to look around, her grandfather's hair was starting to turn gray, he was just a dry little old man, her eldest uncle's slender face looked a bit downcast, thinking of her eldest aunt's face, she expressed her understanding.

"Is this Jingzhe? It's so big!" Old man Li sighed suddenly.

Gu Yu's father, Li Dequan, hurriedly said: "This is Jing Zhe, and it was the name my father chose back then. He didn't come home very much in the early years, and this child grows up faster."

Finally finished seeing people, and sat down in the main room, the darkness became lively, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li He sat on the chairs with a smile on their faces, here was Li Dequan leading his daughter-in-law and Jingzhe Xiaoman Guyu, over there Gu Yu's big Uncle Li Dehai and that fierce aunt.

I am talking to you sentence by sentence.

It was also the first time for Gu Yu's mother, Wang, to see the two elders, she stood up and saluted, "Father, mother, it's a long journey, and I haven't seen the two elders, please don't blame me, this is the daughter-in-law's filial piety to parents."

Gu Yu saw her mother wearing a lotus-colored jacket and a lake-green cotton skirt, a purple jacket over her head, and silk flowers on her hair, speaking gracefully and gracefully, and she felt very happy.

Li He was wearing the jade bracelet given by his wife, and looked at the old man's pipe, thinking that if he was free tomorrow, he would go shopping in the street to show off. yellow teeth.Looking at his daughter-in-law's belly again, he guessed that it was time to hug his grandson again, so he opened his mouth a little more.

"Third Uncle drinking tea!" A little girl came out suddenly, looked seven or eight years old, with two pigtails, and her words were crisp.

Li Dequan smiled, "Li Qiu, you are really sensible."

Gu Yu was taken aback again, just remembered those people, and there was another young lady, who sounded like the uncle's daughter, but she looked like a father, if she looked like a mother, how could she get married? Thinking about laughing again, it's none of my business.

Li Dequan didn't pick up the tea, but was a little embarrassed, "Liqiu, third uncle left in a hurry this time, and didn't bring you anything."

It turned out to be like this, I thought this young lady was sensible and polite, but she was asking for something in disguise, even if Dad said so, she couldn't throw it away, and looked up at the silk flower on Gu Yu's head.

How old is Xiaoman? At this time, he pulled Liqiu, "Liqiu, I like this silk flower..."

Gu Yu was very upset, it was okay to give her silk flowers by herself, but it was really uncomfortable to do so, she thought about it, reached out to take the tea tray, and said with a smile: "Daddy always taught us to drink tea. Elderly, grandpa and grandma are here, how can my dad drink this tea first, grandpa, please drink first."

Li He's mouth that had been closed just now opened again, "Gu Yu is really sensible, she deserves to be a girl in the city, unlike Li Qiu, a dead girl who doesn't understand the rules."

Gu Yu served tea to her grandparents, and turned her head to see Li Qiu's white eyes cast towards her one after another, she just pretended not to see them.

I have read a new book and ask for all kinds of support!
