Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 2

In fact, Li Yan did see Lao Fat go shopping for snacks with his father and grandfather, but she was young at the time, so she didn't care about it at all.When I was alive again, I remembered this past event.It's also a good time to say it now.The previous doubts were also brought to a conclusion because of these words.The fact that Lao Fat wasn't Zhou Jun's seed was quickly spread in the bunker.Those bad things from the past were also tossed out, Zhou Jun's family was fighting like crazy, and it took a long time for it to stop.

Cui Yufeng gave birth, and she was tired after talking for such a long time. The women were all from the past, knowing that they need rest most at this moment, and told them to stay in confinement, and then they left. .

After listening to her mother's words, Li Yan came out to see off the guests. When she was about to reach the door, the closed kitchen door was pushed open, and her grandma Wu Zhilan came out from inside.

The memory still stays in Wu Zhilan's appearance when she was about to die, an old man in his 80s with gray hair and a stooped figure.Seeing her in her fifties with a straight back, Li Yan felt that it was unreal.After blinking several times in a daze, he called out with a sour nose: "Grandma."

This little rural old lady who has been strong all her life, was a famous beauty with hundreds of miles around when she was young.Her husband, Li Mingchang, had been engaged to her as a baby girl since she was a child, and they didn't meet for the first time until the day they got married.

The two had seven children together in their lifetime, except for a pair of twin girls who died halfway, there were three sons and two daughters.The eldest son Li Dacheng and the eldest daughter-in-law Dai Guizhen gave birth to a daughter and a son. The daughter Li Dan is 13 years old and the son Li Yanming is [-] years old.The second son, Li Dazhong, and his second daughter-in-law had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Li Yan, was eight years old, and the youngest daughter was just born.Both sons now live in Zhoujiabao in Hejian Village, Lingshui Town.The eldest has separated and went out to live alone, and the second is with his in-laws.

The third son, Li Dakuan, and the third daughter-in-law, Liu Mei'e, have only been married for five months and now live in the city.The eldest daughter Li Wenfang and her son-in-law Li Yunqing gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter Li Ying is 15 years old and the youngest daughter Li Xia is 13 years old. They live in Lingshui Town.The youngest daughter Li Wenxian and his son-in-law Zhao Zhicheng have a son named Zhao Lin, who is two years old and lives in nearby Chuanyang Town.

The older generation is more or less patriarchal, and the daughter-in-law gave birth to a second child. Although Wu Zhilan didn't show it on the face, she was still quite disappointed in her heart.He hid in the kitchen in the name of cooking and refused to come out until the neighbors who came to visit had to leave, so he had to come out to give them away and support the scene.Hearing Li Yan calling her, she just responded: "Well, what are you doing out here, go do your homework quickly."

Li Yan blinked her eyes, holding back her tears in a daze.How could she have forgotten that grandma at this time was not as kind as she was later, there was a lot of work outside the house, grandpa was lazy, and she had a sour temper. He was severely reprimanded, and would be slapped on the head every time he moved.The hands of the old lady who have been working for many years are thick and hard, and they are almost like a wooden stick when they are beaten.Until I grow up, I can clearly remember this kind of pain.

At that time, the teachers loved to keep homework, and they would assign homework every day before school was over.The students will use a pencil to outline and record in the textbook, which question, which word and sentence, and make detailed records, fearing that they will forget it later.

Nearly 30 years have passed, does Li Yan still remember what homework she left at that time?Fortunately, I remembered the habit at that time, took out the math and Chinese textbooks from my schoolbag, and turned to the page with the footer folded, and there were indeed pencil-drawn tick marks and wavy horizontal lines on it.The math homework is five addition and subtraction problems within ten, and the Chinese homework is to copy the text "Spring Breeze Blowing" learned that day twice, and write the new words five times.

For an ordinary eight-year-old child, it is not an easy task to complete all of them.But for a 35-year-old mature woman who once had a college diploma, it couldn't be easier, and it was done in the blink of an eye as if it was a game.

Li Yan packed the pencil case, put it into the schoolbag together with the books, jumped off the high-back wooden chair, and went directly to the Westinghouse to visit her mother and sister.

Cui Yufeng had just drank chicken soup and ate millet rice. She closed her eyes and rested her mind. When she heard Li Yan's small footsteps, she opened her eyes and asked her eldest daughter in a gentle voice, "Have you finished your homework? If you are hungry, eat a fire spoon." Mom bought you ten and put them in the cupboard this morning, and I’m going to go with your grandma.” The child is growing up and hungry the fastest, and the daughter-in-law will always ask her for food after school.

"Well, I got it, mom, I'll eat it later." Li Yan poked Li Jia's little face lightly with her finger, and couldn't help being silly.

"Yan'er, are you happy that Mom gave birth to a younger sister?"

"Happy, I'm so happy." Li Yan raised her head to look at Cui Yufeng with a smile on her face, and said, "Mom, this time you have two small padded jackets, are you happy?"

Cui Yufeng patted her little head: "I, Yaner, can talk, and say that girls are mother's close-fitting jackets. Now I have two that I can change." Very disappointed.

Li Yan is a person who has come back to life, how can she not know what her mother is thinking.Not wanting to make her unhappy, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, you should go to sleep, and when your sister wakes up, you will be able to breastfeed her."

"You little girl, you know quite a lot. All right, let's go out and play. Mom is going to sleep."

"En." Li Yan nodded, tucked the quilt for Cui Yufeng, and exited the Westinghouse.

Li Yan knew that the fire spoon her mother referred to was a round pancake the size of a plate. It tasted similar to the thick, fragrant and sweet Cantonese pancake, but it was much thinner and easier to bite.There were only a few kinds of pasta and snacks at that time, far less diverse than later ones.The slender and chewy mahua and this dime fire spoon deeply occupied her childhood memory, and she remembered the unique taste until many years later.

The cupboard with wooden sliding doors was newly made when the house was built, and there is still a smell of wood and paint that has not been dissipated. The three-story partition has clean dishes and plates on it, leftovers in the middle, and the most spacious pot on the bottom. pot.The ten fire spoons were stacked neatly together, packed in a white plastic bag and placed in an empty basin.

Li Yan unbuttoned her pocket, and the unique baking aroma came out. She felt even hungrier, swallowed her saliva, weighed her ability, took out two without any hesitation, and tied the rest. Close the cupboard door.

Just at this moment, Wu Zhilan came in from the outside after feeding the pigs, saw the things in her hand, and said with a long face, "What are you doing with two at once, can't you eat one?"

Li Yan rolled her small eyes and stretched her right hand forward: "Grandma, I didn't want to eat it myself, this is for you."

Wu Zhilan was stunned for a moment, her face softened a little: "Okay, I won't eat it, put it back."
