Years (1)

Oh oh oh oh …

This is the crowing of a chicken.

This sound should be very common, but for Lin Yutong, I haven't heard it for years. Living in Qingyan, Jiuzhou, the land is so down-to-earth that it is difficult to hear the rooster crowing.

I've been tired all these years! Whether it's the Fourth Master or herself, it's not just for the sake of the Fourth Master's regret. For Lin Yutong, I also want to do more and do more. In fact, if anyone who can go back to the past, I'm afraid that I want to do the same thing. I'm afraid that there is not enough time, I just regret that I don't have enough time. I want to do too much, but I can only say that I have tried my best for more than 30 years! As for what I can in the future, it's really not what she should think about.

When she was very tired, she told the Fourth Master that if she had a next life, she would have to take a good rest. The Fourth Master laughed and said yes!

Thinking of this, I habitually stretched out my hand and touched it to the side.

"Get up when you wake up!" A female voice with a bit of majestic sounded from the side, "What are you touching?"

Lin Yutong sat up after rubbing her arms, and the chicken cried for the first time. It was still dark. The room was dark and there was nothing. After blinking for a long time, he slowly adapted to the darkness. Then he saw that there was a person sitting on the other end of the kang. It was blurry, with only one outline, but looking at the outline, it looked very petite.

She came to a conclusion in her mind that this was a petite little old lady.

Then what?

Then the other scenes in the house were invisible, and she didn't know which old lady was on the opposite side. She didn't know what year and month it was, and she didn't know where it was.

what to do?

With a 'plop', he fell straight back and then 'slept'!

The old lady on the other end muttered something. Lin Yutong pretended not to hear it, and reached out and touched the pillow quietly - the scalp of the coarse cloth. She rubbed the corners of the pillow and found that it was wheat straw. This thing was chopped and placed in the pillow. If it was made, it would be a bit thorny. If the pillow lasted for a long time, it would feel shiny. She felt that the texture was under her hands. She pulled the quilt to her body and moved her feet. It seemed that it was right, it was all made of coarse cloth.

But based on this, we cannot judge the times.

It was gone, so I raised my hand and touched it. It was not a bellyband! It was a jacket. It felt like this, it was a bit like - Queliang!

Lin Yutong's eyebrows were knotted, and she always felt like she was living her days over and over again.

Just as he was stunned, the old lady's voice rang out, "When you wake up, get up! Whose big girl has slept until now."

When Lin Yutong poked her head out of the quilt, it was already dark. A little above her head was the window. The window was not big, and it was covered with paper. The word "Fu" posted on it was a bit old, but it was still sticking it on it in a regular manner.

Before sitting up, Lin Yutong turned her eyes and looked towards the old lady.

Why?

Because there was only one sentence in her heart at this moment - what a beautiful old lady.

That's right, it's Peugeot!

The old lady sat cross-legged on the kang, her feet pressed under her butt, which was the cross-legged method that she could never learn. The old lady sat cross-legged. The black pants, Lin Yutong thought it should be the big-sized pants that were to be gaited at the bottom, with a gray side-necked jacket on it. She was dressed neatly, giving people the feeling, even if the chest seemed to be still there and her waist was very slender. Looking up, her neck was long, her face was covered with egg hair, and her hair was combed smoothly. Besides, she had wrinkles, and she felt that she was sixty years old. She had a willow leaf brow and cherry mouth. Now the light was not good, and she couldn't tell whether it was white or black, but only this outline and the posture of sitting in such a holding position, she thought that she was a beauty. If she was young, she would definitely be a beauty among beauty.

It is different from the beauty of the young and young who is obviously in his sixties and seventies, and has plastic surgery. If you have to compare it, compare it with the people on TV. The same actor has played from young to old age. The old style is very stylish even when you are old. You can see the shadow of your youth, and think it is particularly suitable for the old lady.

Lin Yutong narrowed her eyes half-squinted and tried to avoid talking to the old lady. Looking around, there were neatly stacked clothes on the side of the pillow.

The shirt, floral, yeliang. When he put it on his body, he felt that he had to have no waist, chest, chest, straight and straight lines were very invisible. He touched it down and picked up the pants and labor cloth? It seemed to be! Indigo blue. The legs of the trousers were very wide, and there was no zipper on the waist, but buttons. But I couldn't find the belt on the buttons. I touched the belt, okay! Just the belt on the waist.

Lying there, he put on his pants straight.

I got off the kang, put my shoes under the kang, touched them, stuffed socks, nylon socks, and patches on the soles of my feet, but they were clean. Put them on and stuffed their feet into the shoes.

The shoes are cloth shoes and are tied, and they should be old shoes. If you wear them loosely, you can take them off without having to untie them.

This outfit is quite decent in the rural areas of the 1970s and 1980s.

After dressing, I stomped my feet, as if I could make my clothes go smoothly. Then I could look at the room with my eyes left and right. In addition to a large kang that could sleep three or four people, there was also a large square table facing the door of the room. On both sides of the square table, there were two old-fashioned and particularly old-fashioned backrest chairs. They should be black paint, but now they are mottled, and they are no longer the original appearance. They are a little shiny.

There was a thermos bottle on the table, and the bamboo-woven outer cover was the type of small thermos bottle that was not found in the supermarket later. There was a large enamel plate in the middle, and a white porcelain teapot was placed on the plate, with two tea cups pressed upside down on the edge of the teapot.

Judging from this object, the population of this family is very simple.

Two people.

Apart from myself, there is probably only the old lady left.

There is no wardrobe in the house, only two door boxes. Lin Yutong is very familiar with this thing and once used this thing to press the head of the bed. Now there is no bed press, and this thing is placed on the kang, just behind the old lady. There are already folded bedding on it.

Maybe it was because he looked left and right and seemed to be looking for something, but the old lady said, "What are you looking for? The washbasin is outside..."

"Oh!" Lin Yutong responded, and when she saw the old lady reaching out to fold the quilt for her, she stepped out.

The door of the room was not the same as the one that was common later, but two, with a bolt in the middle. Lin Yutong opened the door, and the cold air outside the room came. She shivered all over and her mind became clear.

It should be early summer now. The air has a faint fragrance of jujube flowers. I feel cold, so I should have gotten up early. It was so dawn that it was almost five o'clock, and it was still a bit cold when I was wearing a shirt alone.

Under the window outside the door, there is a washbasin rack. I took the basin and went to the water jar in the yard to scoop water to wash my face.

I couldn't find the mirror, and I touched the two braids on my head, which was not messy, and I just took the comb on the windowsill and pursed my hair. I remembered the old lady's meticulous hair, and I guess she was embarrassed and I deliberately used a comb to dip it in water to comb it.

As for brushing teeth... others don't want to use it for the time being. Just rub it with salt in the kitchen after touching it.

I felt that it was neatly organized, but after I went in, I could clearly feel the old lady's brows frowning.

The two of them stared at each other with four eyes, and the old lady's brows became even tighter. Lin Yutong was thinking about how to talk, but the voices were heard outside the gate.

"Aunt Xiuya, have you got up? Use your bucket..."

Lin Yutong thought to herself, who was talking outside? His voice was loud, and half of the alley would be alarmed.

She glanced at the direction of the door, and just turned her head and saw that the old lady's brow was so frowning that she could kill the mosquitoes. "Why are you standing there if you don't open?"

"Huh?" Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and understood that the "Aunt Xiuya" in love is an old lady.

She went out quickly, pulled the door latch open, and there was a 40-year-old standing at the door...Auntie.

It should be called Auntie.

Lin Yutong smiled and moved the door open.

"Has the tung rise?" The aunt said as she turned into the inside, passing through the hall, which was the yard. There were two buckets of water beside the wall of the yard, and a shoulder pole was placed on the bucket. The bucket was made of foreign iron sheet, and the word "Qi" was written in red paint on the side.

This is a sign, and even if the things you lend out are not used, there will be no need to explain them clearly at that time, and if you lose them, there will be no place to discuss them.

With the word "Qi", is this family's surname Qi or the old lady's surname Qi?

It's hard to say.

Anyway, when the family looked at me, the old lady and I don’t know what it was. It’s okay to say it’s grandparents and grandchildren, but I can’t say whether it’s an old lady’s old lady’s old lady’s old lady’s.

I was still thinking about it here. The aunt had already come out with a bucket with a shoulder pole. She walked out and said, "Tong, the door is open. I'll call the fourth brother over here. It'll take two loads of water to take two days..." As she said that, she left the gate, and when she got into the alley, she turned around and shouted, "Auntie, you're leaving..."

The old lady responded loudly while using a small broom to sweep the kang.

Lin Yutong looked at the old lady's movements and listened to the rustling sound of a big broom sweeping across the ground at the door. She quickly looked for a sweeping broom from behind the door, and finally she didn't have to stand there as if she was a second pole.

The layout of this house is a bit like a rural area in the northwest. As soon as you enter the main entrance, you can see the hall. There are two rooms on both sides of the hall. The upper room is the upper room on the east side, and the elders in the family live in the west. The lower room is the younger master. After passing the hall, you can have the yard. Everything in the yard can be built to hold the Xiamen. The kitchen is usually in the Xiamen.

While Lin Yutong swept the dust from the hall out to the front door, she looked at the opposite door of an alley four or five meters wide. The house was like this. The house was a thatched house with a mud wall, but it looked very generous.

I live here at home, but it seems to be a little small. To be precise, it is half smaller, like a half-tied yard.

There is only half of the hall, and the house is one house with the old lady. The hall is very narrow, and it is a narrow yard when you enter. There is a jujube tree in the yard, both sides reaching into the next yard. The kitchen I went to just now should have been built later, close to the living room, only half the size of a room.

After scanning the door, most of the people's doors were cleaned. The adults shouted, the children cried, and the chickens ran around in the alley.

They even greet each other after passing by.

This one said, "Tong, don't you go to the ground today?" The one said, "Tong, why are you getting up late?"

Lin Yutong responded vaguely, and the only thing she thought was to find time and find a space to see her past memories, otherwise she would be silly and she would feel that her reaction was slow.

When I turned around and wanted to sweep the yard, I heard someone shouting, "Tong, hurry up and catch it, I didn't see someone bringing you water..."

Following this was the laughter of several women.

Lin Yutong was a little confused. She just gave water, so why did she laugh at her?

When he turned his face, he saw a tall, flat-headed man with half-down head, carrying water. The half-old white shirt was open, revealing the yellowed vest washed inside. The military pants were a little yellow, rolled up to his calves, and a pair of rubber shoes on his feet, barefoot.

As soon as the young man looked up, Lin Yutong met a pair of dark eyes.

Come on!

Fourth Master, you have made a fortune for another lifetime.

This is definitely the most handsome one.

The fourth master raised his lips and walked in with a load on his back. Lin Yutong took the person into the yard. When he looked up, he saw the old lady looking here through the window.

This is quite tight.

The big girl and the young man are not too close. Lin Yutong gave the Fourth Master a look.

The Fourth Master moved slightly while leaning on the shoulder pole, blocking Lin Yutong's sharp eyes, "All right?"

Lin Yutong looked up and down at the Fourth Master, "It's OK. What's going on with you?"

Before the Fourth Master could speak, he heard the old lady's voice coming, "Tong, where did you put the needle and thread?"

Where did Lin Yutong know?

The Fourth Master chuckled, "Okay. Just know where you are. Wait for me to find an opportunity to find you." As he said that, he poured the water into the jar, placed the bucket and the shoulder pole against the wall, turned around and left again, and greeted it when he arrived at the door, "Grandma Qi family, say a word after using up the water..."

The old lady was speechless inside. Lin Yutong gave the Fourth Master a wink and told him to leave first.

Lin Yutong's heart was relieved. Just as she was thinking about whether she had to go to the kitchen to cook, the old lady called inside. She went in and sat on the edge of the kang. Before she could sit down, she heard the old lady say, "Don't die that heart, the old Jin family can't do it."
