Xia Shao was reborn this winter, but after adapting to the rebirth, he had to carry a small bench, sit at the door of the old house, look at the snow outside, look at the snow and sigh.
The new year is approaching. After the new year, it will be 1992. This year was a turning point for the national economy. The state leaders made an important speech advocating that reform and opening up should deepen economic development. It was also from this year that more and more talents gave up the so-called iron rice bowl, and bold people began to go into business, thus creating a part of rich businessmen!
"Alas!" I don't know how many sighs this is today.
This year is an opportunity for many people, but for Xia Shao, this small body and short hands and feet are only ten years old after the year. What can she do?
"Xiaoshaozi, you child! What are you doing at the door in such a cold day? Come here and try the chicken soup just stewed by grandma."
Behind him came grandma's voice. Xia Shao turned his head and saw grandma's kind face. At this time, grandma's white hair was not too much, and the wrinkles on her face were not too deep, but the kindness and love in the bottom of her eyes were the same as before.
Since Xia Shao fell into the ice water, grandma has broken her to the baby these days. She killed the little hen raised in the yard and stewed Soup for her every day for fear that she would fall into the root of cold and be afraid of cold in winter.
These days are not like ten years later, whether you want chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables, you can buy them in the supermarket. At this time in the north, the dishes eaten in winter are not so rich. Cabbages and radishes have to be dug in the cellar for storage. For ordinary families, chickens and ducks are rich dishes, which can only be served on the table during the Spring Festival.
Before the Chinese new year, the little hen killed three in these two days. Xia Shao knew how difficult it was, so every time she picked up the bowl and drank the familiar taste these days, a mist always covered her eyes.
Perhaps, rebirth back to childhood is God's care for her. After all, not everyone's childhood can be experienced again. Returning to childhood means that life is still at the starting line and everything has not started yet.
If she wants to change her fate, she can always find a chance!
Thinking of this, Xia Shao smiled. Anyway, she must have a good time in the new year, the first family reunion after rebirth!
On the 29th day of the year, Xia Shao's parents came back from the city on holiday and went into the house with a lot of things. Among them, there are chicken, duck, fish and more than a dozen kinds of vegetables, all of which are to be eaten during the new year. Xia Shao jumped over happily and began to help carry things. Her short body looked clumsy and lovely with a big bag. She made her parents laugh and boast that she was sensible.
Grandpa was listening to the radio in the house. His parents came in and said hello to Grandpa. His mother began to wash her hands and help grandma cook chickens and ducks for the new year tomorrow.
The village of my hometown is called Shili village. As the name suggests, it is only ten miles away from the city. It won't take much time to come back from the city. But in Xia Shao's memory, when he was a child, every time he celebrated the new year, his uncle and aunt always came late until it was dark. At that time, grandma and mother had been walking around the pot all day, so tired that they couldn't stand straight.
Grandpa Xia Guoxi has five children. Among the five children, the eldest Xia Zhiwei was born to Xia Guoxi and his ex-wife. His ex-wife died of illness during the war. Xia Zhiwei, the eldest son, got married early and went to work in Qingshi, the provincial capital. Later, his work was not smooth. Somehow, he got mixed up with some people in the society. He was arrogant and domineering, which made him very popular. Both father and son are gunpowder kegs, and they don't meet each other. Later, Xia Zhiwei seldom goes home, and Xia Guoxi just doesn't have such a son.
Later, Xia Guoxi married again and had four children, two children and two daughters. The eldest is father Xia Zhiyuan, the second is aunt Xia Zhimei, the third is aunt Xia Zhilan, and the fourth is uncle Xia Zhitao.
Xia Zhiyuan, Xia Shao's father, is honest and honest, and my uncle is the youngest in the family. He has been favored since childhood and has a big temper. He was idle when he was young.
In Xia Shao's memory, uncle Xia Zhitao basically didn't work in the two years after he got married. When he had no money, he went home to ask the old man for help. My aunt Jiang Qiulin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is common to complain about poverty. Every time I go back to my hometown to complain about marrying a useless man, and then take the old man's money to my home. The couple's feelings are not very good. Quarrels are common.
Later, Xia Zhitao and others partnered in the building materials business and made some money. But then there was a woman outside until the woman came to the door when she was pregnant. The husband and wife had a big quarrel and divorced. My cousin lived with her father, stepmother and later sister, and was wronged.
Of course, these are the memories of the last life.
Now, according to Xia Shao's memory, the situation seems not so serious. Calculate the time. My uncle and aunt got married not long ago. It seems that my aunt was pregnant in this year?
Sure enough, towards evening, Jiang Qiulin came back with a big stomach and Xia Zhitao. They didn't take much. When they came in, Xia Zhitao said, "Dad, mom, Linlin is a little uncomfortable. We're late."
"What? I'm not feeling well?" a loud voice came from the inner room. Xia Guoxi was listening to the radio in the room and didn't even come out to see Xia Shao's parents when they came back. At this moment, he hurried out of the room and asked, "You're in the city, close to the hospital. Didn't you take Linlin to have a look? Don't be afraid to spend money. If you don't have money to give at home, you can't delay my grandson!"
As soon as she said this, my aunt smiled and secretly turned my elbow. My uncle rubbed his hands and smiled, "Look what Dad said. For the sake of your eldest grandson, my son doesn't dare to neglect it? But I really let you say that it's the 29th of the new year. It's the new year tomorrow. When I meet the doctor on duty in the hospital, I have to say no. otherwise, people are anxious to go home for the new year. How can they have the heart to give you a good look at your illness."
As soon as Grandpa heard this, he went into the house without saying a word. After a while, he turned out of the house and stuffed the little son with a thousand yuan in his hand. He said, "take the flowers first, and ask for them at home if they are not enough."
My uncle and aunt smiled at Qian and said "thank you, Dad". At this time, the monthly salary of ordinary employees in the third tier towns was only more than 200 yuan, and the price was very low. 1000 yuan now looked very little. At that time, a person didn't eat or drink for almost four or five months! The husband and wife were naturally happy to see the money.
Xia Shao's mother's face changed a little when she looked at the money. She was kind-hearted and was a rare filial daughter-in-law. Her father-in-law obviously looked at the child's daughter-in-law in front of her big daughter-in-law. No matter how kind she was, she also had some bad feelings. What's more, the money was the money that the couple came back to honor the old man today and gave it to their uncle and sister-in-law.
The mother looked back at her father, and the father smiled and patted her hand to comfort her. In his opinion, the money was originally filial to their parents. Since it has been given to their parents, let them do what they want.
The mother sighed and looked at her daughter with a sad look in her eyes.
These things are like a repetition, which really happened in Xia Shao's memory. But Xia Shao at that time didn't quite understand the undercurrent between adults, and she didn't understand why her mother looked at her with a sad look.
But now, she has the soul of a nearly 30-year-old adult. Looking at the events of that year, she couldn't help but breathe.
