Chapter 405: The Sound of Cicadas, the Singing of Frogs, and the Verdant Trees (1)
War epidemic demons, poverty demons, anti-piracy, support genuine reading.
This is the first cold war between Miao Miao and Lulu after marriage, and the two young people who love each other have finally crossed this hurdle and resumed their former intimacy.
The two wore masks and went to the largest supermarket in Ningxi City to purchase a lot of hot pot bases, condiments, as well as natural fungus, rice flour, lobster, etc., which are all ingredients that Lulu likes to eat.
"Husband, isn't this the little car that my mother used to drive?" Lulu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the interior inside, when she was in junior high school, Lulu had seen her mother-in-law drive this car to a parent-teacher conference, and remembered that the car was bright and new at that time, not as mottled and old as it is now.
Among the classmates in the class, there were only two mothers who could drive, one was Miao Miao's mother, and the other was Tang Yao's mother, who drove a white Audi.
Driving this dilapidated little white car with little space, Miao Miao looked sideways at his wife, who was dancing happily, and recounted the private comments of female classmates on several mothers in junior high school, and his hanging heart finally returned to his chest.
The vicissitudes of this period of time are like a roll of black and white film, recording the bits and pieces of Miao Miao's walk, chic, desperate, poignant, sighing, helpless or gloomy......
But the memories of this period have been unforgettable and rewarding for the rest of his life, and the twists and turns of the experience have propelled him to take another step towards a mature, cautious and sophisticated character.
In 2020, Ningxi City encountered a long dry and rainless summer, the hot sun baked the asphalt road soft, the car ran over and made a grinding sound, the landscape trees on both sides of the road did not have a little spirit, the leaves were curled and depressed, and there was no fresh breath of life.
Only the clear river at the edge of the village has become a good place for children to escape the heat, and from the car window, they are carefree and frolicking in the water, sometimes having water fights, and sometimes stabbing and fishing, and have a lot of fun.
The car got off the asphalt road and drove along the rugged hillside on a loess road, and a white dust was raised behind the car, and on both sides of the loess road were crops full of corn, sugar beets and melons, and the crops were green everywhere.
Looking at the hot scene outside the car, Lulu smiled and said, "Oh, husband, the book is right, it's really green in summer!"
The car passed through a dense green world, and stopped in the small courtyard of the farmhouse surrounded by greenery, only to see a big black dog running towards the car excitedly.
Looking at the big black dog as strong as a calf standing by the car door and looking at Lulu curiously, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to get out of the car, Miao Miao explained with a smile: "Wife, don't look at the black panther looks scary, fierce and vicious, in fact, he is a warm man." ”
The first time I heard someone evaluate a vicious-looking big black dog as a warm man, Lulu was amused and giggled.
Miao Miao got out of the car and yelled at the big black dog who was about to pounce on him: "Black panther, go and lie under the sand date tree, don't frighten my wife, frighten my wife, look at how my mother cleans you up, you have to be hungry for a day." ”
This Kasro dog named Black Panther was really able to understand human speech, and shook its short and invisible tail vigorously, and reluctantly walked under the sand date tree on the east side of the courtyard, while looking back at the little master Miao Miao from time to time.
Lulu, who had never raised a small animal since she was a child, looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, sitting in the car, covering her mouth wide open with her right hand, and looking at Miao Miao in dismay, "Husband, it can really understand people." ”
Miao Miao opened the car door for her from the outside, and said angrily: "Our family also raised a lot of dogs last year, and on January 10th, I don't know which guy who lacked virtue came to the orchard to catch pheasants, and poisoned our 3 good dogs at once, and the neighbors' dogs were all poisoned." ”
Looking at the pun on Miao Miao's face, Lulu also felt sad and asked, "How do you remember it so clearly?" ”
Miao Miao took her hand and walked to the door of a brick house on the east side, and said with a gloomy expression: "After Curly and Ah Jin, the most obedient people in our family, were poisoned that day, my mother fell ill again. Fortunately, Mom finally survived. ”
When I opened the door of my room, I saw that the hut I lived in had been cleaned by my mother and was spotless.
Even the sheets, pillows and summer quilts on the big bed have been replaced by my mother with a brand new set, a pale pink five-piece suit, Miao Miao knows that this is a prize for her mother to be rated as an outstanding worker in the county's poverty alleviation work by the county party committee when she went to work, and she has never used it.
Mother didn't know that Lulu came to the door today, but she had already made all the preparations, and arranged her humble cottage like a wedding room, and it was full of joy, it seemed that her parents were ready to welcome their excellent daughter-in-law to live in the house.
Lulu looked curiously at the cottage where Miao Miao lived, there were two suites inside and outside, the furnishings in the house were very simple, there were several sets of leather sofas in the outhouse, although they were old, they looked quite good in quality, they were leather sofas, and there was a book of "Shen Lun" and several sets of practice questions on a pure white coffee table.
On the wall of the doorway there was a simple steel tube shoe cabinet and a basin stand, and Lulu stood in front of the wall facing the door and looked at a framed calligraphy banner, on which were four vigorous and powerful characters written in Li, "Shangshan is like water", probably written for too long, and the rice paper was a little yellow.
Lulu saw a series of small characters written in a series of books at the bottom of the banner, and she knelt on the soft leather sofa with her legs on it, and looked at the small words on it, "Xiansun Miao Miao 100 Days Commemoration, Xianda, August 20, 1997"
Miao Miao, who came out of the back room, saw that Lulu was very interested in the calligraphy on the wall, and said with a smile: "This is the ink treasure that my grandfather gave me when I was a hundred days, and he hopes that I can understand the meaning of goodness like water, and the name Miao Miao was given to me by my grandfather." ”
"Hey, husband, I didn't expect grandpa's calligraphy to be so cool, why didn't you learn the essence of his old man?" Lulu grabbed Miao Miao's hand with both hands, slapped his palm lightly, and taught him a lesson, "You should be naughty and lazy when you were a child." ”
Miao Miao pecked his wife's cheek with pity, and said with shame: "In order to let me practice calligraphy, my grandfather and mother took a lot of thought and effort. Hey, grandpa's calligraphy is also the essence of our mother's calligraphy, and uncle, aunt, and aunt are all the fur of grandpa's calligraphy. ”
"Wife, you haven't seen my mother write a flyy little letter, that's really wonderful." Miao Miao was proud to show off.
Looking at the vigorous and flowing calligraphy, Lulu asked curiously, "Grandpa's name is Xianda, and this name is quite knowledgeable." ”
Miao Miao smiled and looked at her grandfather's payment on the banner, "Grandpa's name is Yi Lixian, polite and virtuous." Grandpa's character is virtuous. ”
Looking at Miao Miao, who was shaking her head and shaking her head with an old pedantic look, she held her chin with her right hand, "Grandpa's name is Yi Lixian, and his name is virtuous." Lulu laughed.
