—— "村.” "Series 20

□ Li Donghong

It was late at night to return to the village last night. The peppers, tomatoes and melon in the yard are vibrant, and the vegetable fields are wet, as if just a rain. "Half a catty" saw me, and was so happy that I jumped into my arms, like a child who hadn't seen adults for a long time.

This morning, a few brothers in the county came to see me. As soon as I entered the yard, they shouted vaguely: "Going to relatives, have anyone at home?" After that, they laughed.

For thousands of years, we Chinese have attached great importance to affection and friendship. The poet of the Song Dynasty poet Mao Yan said: "One year dripped the lotus leaks, and the Bijing Tu Su was frozen. Xiaoshan was still bullying. The beautiful woman persuaded Qian Changshou, cypress pepper flowers and cooked sleeves. The deep part of the drunk hometown knows each other, and only the old is old. "

In the profound Chinese culture, walking relatives has also stretched for thousands of years. On the New Year's Eve, relatives stringed the door, eating, chatting, chatting, and constantly superimposed with their original affection.

I have also walked through relatives.

For the first time, when I was a child, I followed my mother.

That year, on the fourth day of the year, my mother took me to Caogang Village 5 kilometers away from relatives. The relatives of Cao Gang Village are my cousin's family, mainly to see the mother of my cousin, my name is me. That morning, I just snowed, the cold wind was piercing, my mother was carrying the basket in one hand, holding my hand in one hand, and carefully walking on the small road covered with white snow. It was all white around, like Su Shi "Su Shi" Su Shi " "Putting He Ting Ji" described as "autumn and winter snow moon, a thousand miles of color".

More than two hours later, I finally arrived at the cousin's house. Seeing that my mother and my mother's face flushed red, her cousin hurriedly gave birth to firewood in the house. I walked out of the back house and said in distress: "See the child frozen, bake the fire quickly."

At noon, the cousin made a few dishes, and while eating, I said, while talking, I kept giving me vegetables, "good, eat more", and said from her. Two dollars in the pocket of the gray top, "Come, this is to give Qi Donghong's good money."

After lunch, it was time to go. The mother took out a few boxes of fruits from the basket, more than 10 cooked eggs, and her own white noodle steamed buns and buns. At that time, I took relatives and brought about these things. After receiving it, I put a few sugar buns in my mother and put it into the basket of my mother. Later, I learned that this was a gift.

Later, I went to junior high school and high school. Whenever the New Year, my mother asked me to walk away from relatives and represent her.

There are three relatives in the town, the uncle's home of the Cross Street, the aunt's house on the east of the town, and the other aunt's house in the west of the town, all of which are my elders. When I took my relatives, I was riding a bicycle. There were three baskets behind the bicycle, one on each side, and one on the back seat. One morning, I walked three relatives in the morning, went to the uncle's house first, after seeing the uncle and the aunt, then went to see the aunt who Dongtou, and then went to see the aunt of the west head. Make a meal.

The farthest relative at that time was the aunt and uncle in the county. At that time, my aunt worked in the county supply and marketing cooperatives and her uncle was in the County Public Security Bureau. The village is 25 kilometers away from the county seat. Every time she goes, the mother is relieved, and I have a lot of cars on the road over and over again. I must pay attention to safety.

It was the evening when I walked back from the county seat. In the faint night, I saw my mother standing at the village entrance, pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting for me. Seeing that I came back safely, Niang was relieved and said, "Child, you can come back, you are almost in a hurry, just come back, just come back."

For so many years, most of the elders are gone. In addition to working abroad, there are fewer opportunities for relatives. The descendants of their descendants are cousins, cousins, and sisters. Continue.

However, I still want to walk more relatives and do not use my mobile phone instead.

Because, I like the strong taste of affection!
