Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:

The three brothers put the turtle in the bucket and returned home dejectedly. Mrs. Li was smoking a tobacco pouch in the kitchen. Seeing the appearance of her grandson slipping in, she couldn't help grinning, revealing a gaping tooth: " This means that I didn't catch any fish."

Li Mingnan and Li Mingbei nodded aggrievedly and put the bucket into the kitchen: "I only caught a turtle, I don't know if it's alive or dead." Mrs. Li stood up and glanced at the bucket. Immediately happy: "Okay, it's not bad if you catch it, I'll make dumplings for you tomorrow, let's have a good New Year."

Li Mingnan and Li Mingbei immediately swept away their depression, threw their big padded jackets on the cabinet at the door of the cabinet, and rushed to the east room to tell Wang Sufen the good news. How old is Li Mingxi? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. After returning to the house, he approached Li Mingdong, who was studying, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you talking so well today?"

Li Mingdong looked down from the book and glanced at Li Mingxi: "I haven't cut so much meat for more than three months, and tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, you will still be the same if you come back with a bucket of water today. Make dumplings."

Li Mingxi regretted listening to it: "I was fooled by milk again. You don't know that I am almost frozen on the ice in the afternoon."

Mr. Li came in with a cane and heard this, she couldn't help but beat Li Mingxi's **** with a cane: "Whoever fools you, arrange me if you can't see it."

Li Mingxi clutched his **** and jumped two meters away, then ran out with a smirk: "Well, let's see my sister."

When she saw this, Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing twice. When she saw Mingxi went out, she sat next to Li Mingdong: "Mingdong, last month, your fourth uncle wrote to say that you are coming home someday. Isn't it the day of the young age?"

Li Mingdong pulled open the drawer, took out a letter from the inside, opened it and glanced at it, and then said: "It's after the small year to go out, and it won't arrive until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"I didn't bring my daughter-in-law back when I got married, and I didn't bring it back to see if I had a child. After so many years, I had to come back so easily and it was so late." Mrs. Li was a little indignant: "I see, in his eyes Without my old lady."

Li Mingdong saw a sad look on Mrs. Li's face and quickly persuaded: "Isn't this far away? Besides, the fourth uncle is also busy over there, and it is not easy to buy train tickets."

"It's alright, alright..." Thinking of her youngest son whom she hadn't seen in nearly ten years, Mrs. Li softened her expression and waved her hand weakly: "It's good if you can come back, and you can go to the back room tomorrow. They have never experienced such coldness in the ice market.”

"Don't worry, I will burn it early in the morning." Li Mingdong agreed.

Knowing that her eldest grandson is reliable, Mrs. Li was relieved, leaning on crutches and exhorting two more words before going out.

On the morning of Xiaonian, Mrs. Li, who was the first to get up, hadn't gotten up yet. Li Mingbei, who was thinking about the dumplings that she didn't sleep well all night, jumped up from the kang first: "Mother, look at the morning. !”

The old lady was in a daze, and was so frightened by his voice that she almost had a heart attack. She covered her chest with one hand and touched the crutches from the ground with two sticks and beat Li Mingbei down: "What are you screaming about in the morning? Get out and start the fire!"

Li Mingbei took advantage of the light outside, put on a jacket and trousers, ran to the kitchen and came back with firewood. He first added enough firewood under each kang, and then went to the kitchen to make a fire.

This place in Beicha has five months of winter in a year, so when the weather is cold in Li's house, the firewood in the stove is continuous 24 hours a day. When cooking, the large pot is connected to the kang. Li Mingbei worked rough, and after a while, the whole family was in trouble.

Zhen Zhen was also woken up by the sound of Li Mingbei coming in, one of them urinated out of nowhere, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to slam the kang twice: Urinary incontinence is such a shame! She was crying pitifully, Zhen Zhen couldn't stand the dampness under her buttocks, so she hummed twice, when Wang Sufen heard her daughter woke up, she immediately got up and changed Zhen Zhen a clean diaper.

Zhen Zhen was very helpless about her current situation, Xiaozui couldn't help sighing, and muttered in her heart: Life is always so difficult.

Wang Sufen couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter's sigh, and poked Zhen Zhen's face with her hand: "Little confinement child knows how to sigh, the whole family is the happiest for you, eat with your eyes open and sleep with your eyes closed. ." Then he lifted up his clothes and fed Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen has become accustomed to breastfeeding so naturally, she gudonggudong ate until she was full, hiccupped and couldn't open her eyes, before falling asleep, Zhen Zhen still thought: Mom is right , the days when I want to eat and sleep and sleep are so happy, I think I can sleep for a while...

Almost a moment, Zhen Zhen fell asleep. Wang Sufen put her in the trolley with the beam hanging down from the roof. After getting dressed, she went out to help prepare things for the New Year.

Once Mrs. Li saw Wang Sufen came out and washed her hands, she was about to make a face. She slapped her outstretched hand back as soon as her eyes crossed: "If you leave home, you won't turn around, right? Xiulan will come after a while. With her and Osmanthus busy, you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Sufen hurriedly said: "I don't feel tired when I sit on the kang and help make dry food. Just lying on the kang makes me feel more tired than working."

"Blessed will not be enjoyed." Mrs. Li shook her head in disgust: "If you have a hard time, just walk around the house with Zhen Zhen in your arms, you can't be tired now, if you return to milk, my granddaughter will be tired. What can I do if I lose weight."

Liu Xiulan heard this as soon as she entered the door and couldn't help laughing: "It can be seen that my mother likes girls, you were not so nervous when we gave birth to these boys, that is, I have a good temper. ."

Mr. Li laughed when she heard it, took a puff of her cigarette and said, "I can't do anything if I don't like it. I just like my granddaughter. Who will keep you from giving birth to a girl."

Osmanthus heard the movement outside, stood up and wiped her hands from her apron, and came out of the kitchen to say hello: "Aunt San is here, have you eaten yet? I'll give you a pillow to cushion your stomach?"

"Don't be busy, I've eaten here." Liu Xiulan handed Osmanthus a basket on her arm, which contained ten eggs and a piece of meat: "The eggs are for the second sister-in-law, and the meat is for the mother. Yes." Osmanthus took it over, gave Mrs. Li a look, and put the things away.

Liu Xiulan looked at Osmanthus' quick hands and feet, and couldn't help but said enviously, "Our family Osmanthus is really diligent, and her work is agile. Mother, you have such a good eye, look at finding such a good daughter-in-law for Dongzi. "

Mr. Li squinted her eyes when she heard the words: "I'm thinking that when Ming Dong is admitted to university, I will organize the wedding for the two of them."

"That's a good relationship." Liu Xiulan glanced at Osmanthus, who was blushing, and couldn't help laughing and teasing her: "Osmanthus will give birth to a fat girl for Mingdong after we get married, and I will keep your milk and treat you like a Buddha. Give it the same."

Osmanthus bit her lip and showed a shy smile, she threw her long braids around her neck, turned around and went back to the kitchen. While adding firewood to the stove, she pricked up her ears and listened to the voices of the two people outside.

Liu Xiulan glanced at the kitchen, lowered her voice and asked, "Mother, did you and Dongzi talk about getting married?"

"Not yet." Mrs. Li smoked her cigarette bag: "I'm thinking of doing it when I'm free next winter."

Liu Xiulan's voice became even lower: "Mother, it's better to tell Dongzi in advance. He is happy that we are in Zhangluo. Dongzi has read so many books, so don't have any other thoughts."

"I know, don't worry about it. Next year, you can help me find a good carpenter to build a large wardrobe and two wooden boxes for Dongzi." Mrs. Li frowned slightly, and ruthlessly He took two puffs of cigarettes: "I hope next year will be better. Dongzi is the eldest grandson of our family, so getting married can't be too shabby."

"Mother said yes." Liu Xiulan nodded in agreement: "Fortunately, with the red pine trees in the mountains and plains, it is not troublesome to make furniture. I heard from my family Mingrong that if you want to make these furniture in Beijing, you have to have them. What kind of big wardrobe tickets and big wooden box tickets can only be bought, they are very tight."

"Perhaps it's a rare style. Actually, there's nothing good about this thing. It's enough to put things in it." Mrs. Li snorted a few words, and habitually raised the sole of her shoe and slapped it on it. Knock the smoking bag pot.

Osmanthus spent a long time in the kitchen and couldn't quite understand what the third aunt said, but she heard all the furniture that grandma said to get her married. The thought of marrying Brother Dongzi in another year made her joy and sweetness unstoppable.

Liu Xiulan accompanied Mrs. Li to talk, and then went to the kitchen to wash hands and make noodles. With Liu Xiulan to help, the work at home would be done much faster, and soon the two curtains were full of sticky bean bags. Go outside to freeze, and put a pot of sweet potato noodles after steaming and put it outside to cool.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the day when Li Mulin returned home. Li Muwu and Li Musen went to the train station early in the morning and waited until after noon, when they arrived from Bingcheng. the train.

Brothers have been apart for ten years. Li Mulin wore a washed-white tunic suit with a large padded jacket over it, oilcloth spiked shoes on his feet, and two large burdens on his shoulders. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the two older brothers in home-clothed clothes. Say hello from a distance.

Li Muwu then reacted, and hurriedly took things with Mu Sen, laughing he didn't know what to say. Li Mulin knew that the two older brothers had neither studied nor cultured, so he called his daughter-in-law and children first: "This is my lover Zhang Chunhua, these are my two sons, the older one is Mingshu and the younger one is called Mingshu. Post letter."

"I know, I know, the letter you sent before, Dongzi and Mingxi, have been read to us, and my mother is talking about two children. I can stay at home for a while before going back."

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tugged at the back of Li Mulin's clothes. Li Mulin smiled and stretched out Zhang Chunhua's hand and let the two children shout, "This is your second and third masters, Call someone right away."

Although Ming Shu and Ming Xin wore patches on their clothes, their faces were very fair when they looked at them, and their people were so delicate and tight, they all hid behind Zhang Chunhua and didn't dare to come out when they heard that they wanted to call someone.

Looking at Li Mulin's uncomfortable appearance, Mu Wu and Mu Sen hurriedly settled the situation: "My child is afraid of life, it's alright, let's go home quickly, and we'll know when we get familiar with it."

Li Mulin reluctantly looked back at his silent wife and son. He was afraid that the two older brothers would have an idea, so he hurriedly asked about the mother's body and the current situation at home.

The family left the train station while talking. Zhang Chunhua used to look up for the trolleybus stop sign, but looking left and right didn't look like there was a tram. When he turned around and wanted to ask a question, he saw that Li Muwu had already The two large burdens I brought with me were placed on a tattered ox cart.

Suddenly Zhang Chunhua's face turned green.
