The happiness of rebirth is knocking on the door

Chapter 19

The next morning Li Xiaohong heard movement in her parents' room, and looked at her watch, it was only ten past five in the morning.

Hesitantly asked, "Mom?"

"Why did you wake up?" Zhang Meiying said, "I'm getting up to cook, it's still early, so go back to sleep." As he spoke, he unlatched the door and went out.

Mom has been working hard for decades, and she thought that when Dad came back, she would get up later and rest for a while, but she didn't expect to get up so early.

Li Xiaohong wanted to get up, but the child's body made her eyes glued together, and she couldn't open them. She raised her head tentatively, but she still felt sleepy, and naturally returned to the pillow, and fell asleep again in a daze. caught.

At six o'clock, the biological clock made Li Xiaohong wake up naturally.Get up and wash up and do exercises in the yard.

The air is cool and fresh, with the unique fragrance of plants. Taking a breath, it seems that the whole viscera feels comfortable, and Li Xiaohong is completely awake.

Look around, the sky is getting brighter.It can be seen that the sky is high and clear, and there is a thin layer of white mist covering the surroundings, which brings a bit of vagueness to the village.The cry of cuckoos came from a distance, bringing more vitality to this quiet village.

Mom has already made breakfast, and Dad is up too.

"My daughter is so diligent, she got up so early."

"Isn't that right? This paragraph says that I want to exercise. I get up early to do exercises and go for a run. I don't need to call her." Zhang Meiying stuck her head out from the kitchen and said.

"Our mother is the most diligent, and we only get up after cooking every day."

Li Zhijun patted his daughter on the head and said with a smile: "Girl, this is to avenge your mother's injustice. You are right. Dad is not as diligent as your mother. When you grow up, you all have to be filial to your mother."

"What's the matter, how many women in the village don't cook? Besides, you are tired enough to go to work, so why don't you take a good rest when you come back." Zhang Meiying was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said in a low voice with a little red face.

Li Zhijun looked at her with a smile, and Li Xiaohong felt an indescribable air moving between the two of them.

Li Xiaohong thought, she should stop being a big light bulb between the two of them, so she opened the courtyard door, ready to take a walk outside before coming back.

Hearing the sound, the two recovered from their staring eyes.Zhang Meiying hurriedly asked: "Where are you going? Don't run far, it's time to eat. After dinner, your father and I will go to work in the field."

"No problem." Li Xiaohong ran out after saying that, walked around the vegetable field outside the yard, pulled out a few shallots, picked a few coriander, and then turned back.Go to the gate of the yard, so as not to see something you shouldn't see, you yell loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"Okay, let's get ready to eat." Zhang Meiying's face has returned to calm, only her father is smiling happily.

Dad is in his prime. Although he is not too tall, he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall and straight figure. His experience as a soldier has given him a special heroic spirit. Because he works in the grain depot, he rarely exposes himself to the sun, and his skin is fairer than the people around him. Much stronger.No wonder that Li Li is always looking for her mother, she is a typical sour grapes mentality.

After eating, the two of them went to the field to pull out the tobacco leaves, and when the field was empty, they prepared to plow the field, fertilize and plant wheat.After a season of growth, each tobacco leaf stem looks like a small tree. Li Xiaohong can't do this job, so she studies at home and watches over her sister.

At seven o'clock Li Xiaohong wakes up her sister, dresses her and eats.By the way, put some sweet potato leaves in the shabu-shabu water, boiled sweet potato dregs, and mixed them with bran to feed the pigs.

At this time, Wei Lijun also came to her home to ask her to go to school.

Li Xiaohong handed her a few candies, "My dad brought them back, I reserved them for you, eat them."

Wei Lijun said enviously: "Hey, your dad is back, if only my dad is so close, I can see him often."

After finishing speaking, he sighed lightly.Li Xiaohong couldn't help laughing seeing her look like a little grown-up with slight worry.But this is a good idea. It would be great if Dad was transferred to his own town. It would be more convenient for him to be close to home, and it would be more convenient for him to encourage his mother to go to town.

Because my father said that he was at home today, Li Xiaolu would no longer be sent to her grandmother's house, so Li Xiaohong sent her to the field by the way, handed it over to her parents, and went to school by herself.

Unexpectedly, when I came home at noon, I saw Zhang Meiying yelling at Li Xiaolu with a big broom, "Do you know that this thing can't be moved around! Give it to mom!" Li Xiaolu
Then she was crying pitifully, holding something tightly in her hand.

Taking a closer look, Li Xiaolu is holding a balloon in his hand.Where did Li Xiaohong first think of the balloon?Alas?This is not a balloon, it is clearly an old-fashioned white
Color condom, I have seen this thing once in my previous life, it looks like a balloon when I blow it.Fortunately, Li Xiaohong's later generations have seen this a lot, so he walked over without incident.

"Hey, it's going to explode in this hot weather, let's stop playing, give it to mom, sister will take you flying!"

Seeing that the condom that was blown into a spherical shape was not so tight, Zhang Meiying grabbed it, her whole face flushed, feeling that she had lost all face in her life.I hid all this stuff myself, how did my daughter find it?It seems that next time I have to hide it in another place.Moreover, she always felt that the eldest daughter seemed to know what it was, but her daughter was still so young, so it was impossible, this must be an illusion, it must be an illusion.

Li Xiaolu sobbed and was hugged by her sister, feeling that she had been hurt a lot.I don't like my mother anymore, she is so fierce to me, and even spanks my little butt, this is the first time I have been spanked, just because of that broken balloon.

Mom is too stingy, anyway, I have seen where my mother hid things, next time I will steal all the balloons, and I will not leave any to my mother, so that my mother can't play.

Holding Li Xiaohong's neck here, "Sister is good, mother is bad." He said, frowning, and snorted at mother, "Ignore mother."

Zhang Meiying yelled at her angrily, "Okay! Okay! Ignore Mom, you little white-eyed wolf, Mom loves you for nothing every day."

Afraid of her mother's embarrassment, Li Xiaohong hugged her younger sister out of the yard, and after flying over a few times, Li Xiaolu forgot what she was crying just now, and went to play again with a smile.

While playing with her sister, Li Xiaohong thought, it seems that her mother's things are not hidden, and she should change the place. In her previous life, she dug them out to play, but she was hit by a broom by her mother. That was the only time she Beaten, it's my sister's turn in this life.

After Dad finished talking with the people outside, the whole family began to eat lunch.Mom fried a big pot of wax gourd balls.According to Li Xiaohong's instructions, two eggs and some steamed bun crumbs were added when mixing the batter. The meatballs were golden in color, crispy and tender, and the whole family had a round belly after eating them.The little white-eyed wolf, Li Xiaolu, forgot to ignore his mother's words, and kept praising the meatballs, asking his mother to make them for her in the future.

Seeing that the two daughters were as if nothing had happened, Zhang Meiying also felt that she was making a fuss. The daughter didn't know what it was. She wasn't nervous, and the daughter thought it was a normal thing, so she said: "Lulu, then you are ignoring your mother." ?"

"Mom cooks delicious food, dear Mom."

Li Zhijun also came to tease his little daughter, "Mom only kisses when she cooks delicious food. Is that a mother's or a father's kiss?"

"Both mom and dad kiss." She glanced at her sister again, "Kiss my sister too."

The whole family was amused by her unreasonable kiss.

While eating croquettes, Li Xiaohong thought, fried food is delicious, but it is not suitable to eat more.Maybe it's because my mother was hungry and scared when she was a child. When she had the conditions, she liked to make fried things, and when she bought meat, she always bought fatty ones, and used the lard to refine and eat.When there was no meat, I went to buy fatty meat to refine oil with the people in the village, thinking it was cheap and delicious.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, there is a lot of meat bought, and the refined lard can be eaten for a long time.Dad's food store had been disbanded at that time, and he often ate like this at home, which was also the reason why Dad got sick.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaohong said directly: "Oh, this meatball is so delicious, it's a pity I dare not eat more."

"Your child's family is growing up. Eating more is a blessing. Why don't you dare to eat more?" Zhang Meiying said strangely.

"I read it in the newspaper, but I think it makes sense."

"What did the newspaper say?" Zhang Meiying asked. She was used to listening to her eldest daughter say something in the newspaper. According to her daughter, people should keep pace with the times.She doesn't know what keeping pace with the times is, but listening to many things her daughter said has brought good changes to the family.

Starting from placing thermometers in the smoke kang house, and buying some goods at home to sell, these extra income are almost enough for my original income for a year.

She thinks it's great that her daughter likes to read newspapers, and the wormwood tree in the old Zhang's ancestor's grave has really grown.Now my daughter is getting smarter and smarter, so I should burn some paper money to my ancestors during the holidays, so that they can take good care of their children.Therefore, she never ignored children like other mothers did, but slowly discussed things with her daughter.

"Don't talk about what was said in the newspaper, Dad, Mom, look at the bottom of our kettle." After speaking, Li Xiaohong went to the kitchen and brought a large iron kettle, and took off the lid to show her parents.

The two looked down, and there was a thick layer of dirt on the bottom of the pot, even some places on the body of the pot.There is still some water at the bottom of the water, but fine scale can be clearly seen in the water, so the family does not drink the water at the bottom of the pot.

"Because the scale in our home pot is relatively thick, and it is mixed with scale residue, and the boiled water is often undrinkable when the water at the bottom is left."

At this point, Li Xiaohong stopped, seeing that her parents were listening carefully, and then said: "The blood vessels in our body are also like this. If we eat too much oil, it will condense on the wall of the blood vessels. After a long time, it will accumulate more and more." If there is too much, people's blood vessels will be blocked. Once a person's blood vessels are blocked, the body will be sick, ranging from paralysis to death. Especially lard, which contains a lot of something, eating too much, more Easy to have a stroke."

"Is it so serious? Our family doesn't eat much." Zhang Meiying asked.

"Mom, don't believe me, this is what the experts in the newspaper said. Like a kettle, you can't see that there will be something stuck on the bottom of the kettle once or twice, but after a long time, the scale will not The more it accumulates, the thicker it gets. And our blood vessels are so thin and inside the body, we can't see what's going on inside the blood vessels. We often don't know we're sick until we're sick, but then it's too late. "
