Chapter 25: Returning Home 3
"Don't, third uncle, let grandpa sleep!" Yang Ling hurriedly took the third uncle's hand, then opened the plastic bag, took out some snacks, cigarettes and wine and handed them to the third aunt next to him, and took out a few bags of milk powder and some soft and glutinous snacks and handed them to grandma.
"Look at you baby, it's not easy to come back, what else do you bring? Besides, the consumption in the city is high, everything has to be spent, you have to keep it for your own use, what do we have to spend on a bunch of old things!" The third aunt chattered, but the grandmother smiled, as if the wrinkles on her face were stretched.
Yang Ling took out a cigarette and handed it to the third uncle, "Third uncle, I heard that you broke your leg last month, and I don't have time to come back, how about it?
"Okay, almost, but you still can't use force, if you want to restore at least after the Spring Festival, alas, these days are transplanting rapeseed and sowing wheat, it's just," the third uncle said distressedly, smoking a cigarette.
"It's your fault! Such a big person, he can break his leg when he chops firewood, and he doesn't know where his heart and eyes are?" said the third aunt angrily, while bringing the brewed tea to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling took out two bottles of mineral water from under the plastic bag and handed them to the third uncle, and said in the inexplicable and wonderful eyes of several people, "Third uncle, this is the two bottles of potion that I found an old Chinese medicine practitioner, it is said that it is soaked in Tai Sui, which is very good for the recovery of the body, you drink a sip every day, and you can walk and work in a few days!"
"Really~?" The third uncle took the crystal clear and transparent mineral water bottle with some surprise, very puzzled, this thing looks like a bottle of authentic mineral water, Yang Ling didn't explain, just said to take a sip and take a look.
Of course, the third uncle did not refuse, how to say that Yang Ling was also kind, so he opened the bottle cap and brought it to his mouth and took a small sip, at the moment of the entrance of the water, he saw that the third uncle was shocked, and his expression became very weird, and then he took another sip without hesitation, and then closed his eyes and kept smacking his lips.
"You dead thing, didn't the second baby let you only take one sip?" the third aunt said angrily when she looked at the third uncle's intoxicated face.
"It's okay!" Yang Ling waved his hand, "This potion is more troublesome to configure, so the amount is not very large, and it is not easy to get, I mean it may be better to drink it slowly, and it is nothing to drink more at a time!"
"Erwazi, I feel warm in my body, and my legs are also hot, which seems to be really effective. The second uncle was surprised by the two bottles of water, and he was extremely happy.
"I don't get much of this water, there are two bottles here, grandparents also drink a little bit every day, it is very good for the body, and the third aunt can also drink some with it. I'll give you a few more bottles next time I get a chance. Yang Ling said and took the cup, poured a small half cup for his grandmother and the third aunt, and let them drink it.
After drinking it, grandma's face bloomed with a smile, and she kept praising Yang Ling, saying that this water was like fairy water, and the whole person was heating up after drinking it, much stronger than roasting fire, and the third aunt was full of excitement, as if she was suddenly a few years younger. At this time, the grandfather was also woken up by a few people, Yang Ling also poured a small cup for him to drink, the old man was not in good spirits, and after drinking, his cloudy eyes turned out to be much clearer, shouting to drink another glass, and the grandmother of the cup was sullen after scolding a few words, and turned her head to chat with Yang Ling, and no one paid attention.
When I got home, it was already completely dark, and the uncles and uncles who had gathered around the fire had already gone home for dinner, and only my father and mother were sitting by the fire, and the meal had already been set, and the firewood of the stove was shining red, quiet and warm.
"Why did you go for so long?" Yang Benshun frowned, opened the wine bottle in his hand, and poured a glass for Yang Ling and himself, "It's cold, drink a glass of wine to warm up!"
Yang Ling is also not polite, it is rare to communicate with his parents for a year, especially when he grows up, he is not at home all the year round, and he feels more and more estranged from his parents, and now he suddenly thinks about it, he feels guilty, after sitting down, Yang Ling poured half a cup for his mother, "Mom, you also drink some, and it is warm to sleep at night!"
"You baby!" the mother wiped her hands nervously, "You father and son drink, I'll eat, otherwise I'll get drunk and go crazy for a while, and your father won't throw me out of the door." ”
"Dad, you won't, the old husband and wife are still so ungentle after so many years!" Yang Ling couldn't help but quip, "Besides, at night, I'll wash the dishes in a while." That's right" Yang Ling suddenly patted his head and stood up, walked to the square table and opened a few pockets he had brought back, and then took out a bottle of mineral water.
"Come on, Mom and Dad, you drink this today!" Yang Ling opened the bottle, found two cups and poured a glass for each of his father and mother.
"You kid, you haven't seen the world before, right, what's so good about mineral water?" Yang Benshun was suddenly smoked by Yang Ling's forehead, if it wasn't for almost a year since they met, he couldn't wait to slap him against the wall, and he hadn't done this kind of thing when he was a child.
"Dad, this is not ordinary mineral water, come, take a sip and try it, it's definitely better than liquor~!" Yang Ling knew his father's temper, and quickly explained, Yang Benshun looked at Yang Ling very suspiciously, but he still took a small sip like drinking, his body was slightly stunned, and he poured a glass of water into his mouth as soon as he tilted his neck, and then closed his eyes and tasted it, stopped for a long time and suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the water in front of Yang Ling's mother and stared at his eyes and said, "Hurry up and drink it, it's a good thing!"
Yang Ling's mother carefully picked it up.
Seeing that his mother and father had finished drinking, Yang Ling said proudly: "How about it, Mom and Dad, I didn't lie to you, this is something I got from an old Chinese medicine doctor, it is said that it is soaked in Tai Sui, which can not only enhance physical fitness, nourish yin and replenish qi, I heard that it can also cure diseases, just now I just sent two bottles to my grandparents and third uncle, it is estimated that in a few days, the third uncle will be able to work!"
"Well, it's a good job, it's a good thing, but it's just not sweet enough, let your mom drink more, come, let's continue drinking!" Daddy was still smacking his lips and picking up his glass.
The atmosphere of the family is harmonious, eating and chatting, mainly Yang Ling said some things about himself, of course, he didn't say anything about resignation, look at it and find a chance after a while, otherwise he is afraid of provoking his father and mother to be unhappy, a meal was eaten for almost an hour, the mother cleaned up the table, and the father and son made a pot of tea and sat by the fire to continue chatting.
"You baby is really, such a good thing was put in a plastic bag like this, and I almost gave it to a few little snot babies to drink just now. The old mother glanced at Yang Ling, and carefully put away a few bottles of mineral water.
"Well, this medicine is really good, my original sprained waist pole is uncomfortable when it is cold, and now it is warm!" Dad was also very surprised.
"There aren't many of these things, I still have some in the car, and I'll bring them in later, Mom and Dad, you two drink a small cup every day, and the effect will be very good." "I don't care about my parents, I want as much as I want in the future, it's no problem to open up and drink water every day, but I can't let others know too much, otherwise I can't live my life.
In the room where I slept when I was a child, I slept until dawn all night, and when I got up in the morning and stretched out, the rooster crowed outside the window, and a few cowbells came leisurely, and when I walked outside the house, the mist was thick, the distant mountains and trees were bathed in peace and tranquility, and the faint cooking smoke rose from the roofs of every house, rendering the small mountain village smart and lively.
On a persimmon tree behind the house, the leaves have fallen out, leaving only a few red persimmons hanging high on the branches like small red lanterns, two small birds chirping on it, from time to time to a persimmon pecked a few bites, looking at Yang Ling's eyes twitched.
It's too wasteful, Yang Ling found a plastic bag and put it on a bamboo pole, held it high on the tree, and slammed it against a persimmon, only to hear a "poof", the persimmon fell into the bag.
Haha~!Yang Ling couldn't help but smile, took out the persimmon and tore the thin skin, took a sip, the sweet and soft flesh was sucked into his mouth, and he was eating happily, and the old mother who came out of the house suddenly complained when she saw it, "You dead baby, what persimmons do you eat on an empty stomach." Go call your dad for breakfast. ”
At this time, the father also came from the direction of the firewood shed with an axe, his forehead was covered with sweat, he looked very good, and he walked vigorously.
As the family finished breakfast, the mist gradually lifted, a red sun rose from the top of the mountain, and a flock of sparrows swept over the forest and scattered into the fields.
Looking at the qiē in front of him, Yang Ling suddenly felt a kind of ** who didn't want to live from now on, the big city, just four years have made him tired of it. But life has to go on, there are some things that you don't need to do if you don't want to do them, and Yang Ling doesn't want to bring his parents to the city, when they get there, they will be unaccustomed to it, that kind of strangeness and loneliness, not a person who is familiar with the neighbors, the parents are short, and the freedom of the mountains, forests and fields can endure, even Yang Ling himself still feels the yearning for this kind of free and unrestrained pastoral life in his soul, which is the cry of the deep-seated blood genes flowing in the body。
Driving on the road to the provincial capital, the car was full of things stuffed in by my mother, a few bags of rice, bacon and vegetables, as well as two dried wild rabbits sent by the third uncle, bean cakes sent by Zhang Wubo's family, and the native products of the mountains and fields sent by the next few families, Yang Ling's thoughts flew farther and farther on the wheels, turned on the stereo, and the earth was leisurely, agitated and desolate.
On those verdant roads,
How many traumas have I experienced,
On that old face,
It also records the wind and frost,
The days of autumn wind and autumn rain,
When I was a teenager,
Don't say goodbye if you have to
Looking back at the door of yesterday's foreign land
The feeling of sighing year after year,
But the sunset and sunrise never change.
At this moment, when looking at his father's smile,
I don't know if I don't feel speechless,
Let the sunset twilight seep with tears
