Gray tiles, black walls, green vines.
This is the appearance of grandma's house.
In her memory, when she was a child, she liked to come to her grandmother's house and play hide-and-seek with her friends. There seemed to be countless hiding places in this old house.
The old house is an old wooden house with two floors and a long row, with a large living room in the middle. Upstairs are storage rooms, a barn, and a balcony for drying rice. The barn can store rice, sweet potatoes, etc. harvested in autumn.
The entrance is a promenade where you can play.
The old house does not live in one family, but many families live in it. The grandmother's house is in the two columns on the far right.
There are two kitchens and two bedrooms, one of which originally belonged to the second uncle.
The second uncle is very profitable as a Fengshui master. He found another piece of land in the village and built a brick house with a single courtyard, so this row was left to grandparents.
When Xiaoqi went to grandma's house, she saw her little grandma standing in front of the stove, opening the lid of the big wooden bucket for steaming rice, stirring the glutinous rice in the wooden bucket with a half-meter-long stick.
Grandpa is lighting the fire.
Cooking this kind of glutinous rice should not be too hot, if it is too hot, it will be overcooked. The kueh that is pounded has no toughness and chewiness and is not delicious, but it should not be too low. If the fire is not cooked, it will be raw. .
A steaming fire was also burning in a kitchen next door, and the second aunt was watching. The stewed chicken was covered with plastic film. Thirty chickens were to be stewed at one go, because there are expected to be thirty tables today. Guest's.
The second uncle is a very smart person, he is said to be Mr. Feng Shui, a master fortune teller, everyone said he is accurate and good at reading, but Xiao Qi met him a few times, and felt that the second uncle was smart and easy to use, so he didn't. After school, usually when people come to ask about the second uncle, the second uncle will first chat with the person about the family, and then choose an auspicious day to do the work.
Xiaoqi felt that the second uncle could figure out what the visitor wanted when he was talking to him, he kept all the twists and turns in his head, and he could speak, so the guests who came were satisfied.
The second uncle did not go to school, but the refrigerator and washing machine at home broke down, and the second uncle knew how to fix it.
Compared with the sleek and smart second uncle, the second aunt is very honest, short, with a round face, and a sweet smile. Xiaoqi likes the second aunt very much. Among the several aunts, the second aunt is the most. When you see it, you feel close.
The second uncle's family also has two children, a cousin and a cousin. The cousin is two years older than her, and the cousin is actually three months older than her. They are the same age.
My second uncle¡¯s family is in good condition, my cousin and my sister are both in school, my cousin¡¯s grades are mediocre, and I took a college entrance examination in Fucheng, my cousin is still in high school in No. 8 Middle School, neither of them seems to have inherited my second uncle¡¯s smart brain, and my grades are very average .
Xiaoqi greeted her second aunt and went to grandma's kitchen.
Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua were also together.
Grandma Xiaoqi was very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law coming with a smile on her face.
"Thinking that you are coming, have you had breakfast? The glutinous rice will be ready soon, I will make some balls for you."
Grandpa Xiaoqi didn't speak much, stood up and poured water, with a smile on his face.
When Sheng Juanhua was in her natal family, although she was the middle child, she was good-looking and lively, and she was favored by her parents.
When Xiaoqi thinks of the newly cooked glutinous rice balls, he is very greedy. It has been a long time since I have eaten them. This kind of glutinous rice balls is not sold in the city. It must be steamed in a large wooden barrel with firewood and an earthen stove, and it must be stirred constantly. The heat must be suitable , the steamed glutinous rice aroma can be smelled across two rooms, it is chewy, and the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes.
Whether it is dipped in salt or mixed with sugar, it is delicious, and each has its own flavor.
However, it is very strong, and you will be full after eating two or three.
In the past, my mother would not let her eat more, because usually the glutinous rice balls are only available during banquets, but now that she is full, she will not be able to eat the dishes for the banquet after a while.
Sheng Juanhua took a sip of the boiling water her father poured, stood up and took out two new clothes.
"Mom and Dad, these are the clothes Xiao Qi bought for you."
Grandma Xiao Qi was a little startled, what happened to her daughter's house, she actually bought gifts for the old couple in such a grand manner, and it was not so formal to go back to her mother's house in the first year of marriage.
"Juanhua, what's the matter? What happened to Youfu's family?"
"Mom, it's okay. Xiaoqi bought it. She worked as a tutor outside during the holidays. She made a little money. She also participated in swimming competitions and won bonuses. She was also on TV. Your granddaughter bought it for you. I honor you."
"What TV are you on?" Xiaoqi's grandfather usually doesn't speak, but when he speaks, his voice is hoarse like a broken clock, rumbling loudly.
People who worked in the kitchen left and right came over to watch the excitement.
Lian?The second aunt who obediently lit the fire and watched the stewed chicken came over curiously.
Then Xiao Qi listened to her mother's nonsense well, it's not a nonsense, but these words came from her mother's mouth, and Xiao Qi was still very ashamed.
I didn't expect to stare at myself often, to pull my ears, and to slap my mother's mouth with a bamboo branch. The girl is so excellent and perfect Xiaoqi's face turned red when she heard it.
The key is that Dad is still nodding in agreement.
Xiaoqi sits on the chicken cupboard of her grandmother's house as a background board.
When she heard the exclamation, she smiled appropriately
A little embarrassing.
However, she was really happy to see her parents, grandparents, and she didn't say anything.
Grandma is a beautiful person, everyone chatted, she went into the house and changed into new clothes.
Xiaoqi bought the clothes worn by the old man with little broken flowers, and the little old lady wore them. They fit very well, and with the smile on her face, she looked festive.
The little old lady even dragged my grandfather to change it too.
Grandpa still had a serious face after changing his clothes. He sat in front of the stove and watched the fire, tugging at the hem of his clothes from time to time.
The conditions of the uncles are good, so there will be no shortage of food and clothing for the elderly, but men can¡¯t remember uncles buying clothes for the elderly, and aunts are separated by another floor, usually done by daughters.
It's just that the eldest daughter, Sheng Juan, has been suffering for so many years and has no money at all.
As for the little girl Sheng Meihua, although she married into the city, she said she was a clothes seller, but she actually set up a mobile stall selling clothes for little girls.
On the contrary, Xiaoqi's grandma and grandpa all prefer the eldest daughter, of course, because the eldest daughter's family conditions are not good, and the elderly feel distressed.
Xiaoqi saw grandpa and grandma standing together in new clothes, and unexpectedly thought of the cutest height difference, one tall and one short, very intimate and warm.
There are many people in a room.
Xiaoqi finally got his wish and ate the glutinous rice balls made by his grandmother.
She took the glutinous rice balls to the door to eat.
Grandma stuffed her two glutinous rice balls the size of a fist in one breath, squeezed firmly, and rubbed some salt on her hands. They were fragrant and slightly salty, very delicious.
Today's weather is exceptionally good. It was a sunny day. When I walked to the door, the sun shone obliquely from the eaves, but I saw a few small whirlpool holes in the hard old mud next to the big pillar at the door.
Arranged unevenly.
Xiaoqi remembers that she liked to dig out this small hole when she was a child.
There will be a small bug at the bottom of each small hole, called a gold pendant, which looks a bit like a small earring, and when the sun shines on the shell of the bug, there is a golden reflection.
Maybe it's because the grown-ups can't see their children digging the ground all the time, and they always threaten that if they dig this gold pendant, hard bumps will grow on their hands.
When Xiaoqi was a child, he was conflicted between the possibility of growing hard bumps and interesting play, which added to the thrill of digging this small hole every time.
In retrospect, it turned out that I was very rebellious when I was a child, because I heard that digging gold pendants would cause pimples, so I used small wooden sticks to dig them out.
It seems to be a little clever.
Now I look at the small hole in the ground where the sun shines, it is very beautiful, funnel-shaped, and it feels like the hard old mud has been drilled out of the fine sand by the sea.
Xiaoqi looked at the small hole in the gold pendant, and ate two big glutinous rice balls, just a little full. From his home to his grandmother's house, he walked more than 20,000 steps. Although the actual distance is five kilometers, the mountain road Detours, in fact, go much farther.
At this time, the doorway also became lively.
The stone mortar was washed early, and my uncle also came over at this moment, carrying the wooden hammer of Chung Kueh, which is in the shape of a T. The vertical pole is thinner than the arm, so it is easy to hold, and the horizontal pole is a thick wooden stake.
Chung Kueh in the countryside is all done by manpower, and it takes three or four strong men to complete it.
Two strong men lifted out the big wooden bucket containing the glutinous rice and poured the glutinous rice into the washed stone mortar.
Then my uncle took the wooden hammer and started pounding. When the uncle pounded it, someone reached out to soak it in cold water, quickly held the bottom of the wooden hammer, and rolled off the hot glutinous rice on it. Repeatedly, the glutinous rice with visible particles became a continuous one piece.
Chung Kueh is really heavy physical work, the wooden hammer is very heavy, and the rhythm must be mastered. If the rhythm is not well grasped, it will be hammered into human hands.
Looking at Chung Kueh, there are many people around, and there is also the sound of shouting rhythm.
Xiaoqi found that my uncle was still very handsome even after he got married. He was tall and waved a wooden hammer very rhythmically. He had a smile on his face, neat teeth, and was cheerful from the heart, which was very seductive.
? For some reason, I thought of the handsome guy who played clarinet solo in Germany.
That handsome guy is very graceful, holding a clarinet as if dancing, blond hair, long legs, and a Venus-like face.
The handsome one is far away.
But in front of him, there was a completely different scene, waving a wooden hammer, with black hair, long legs, and a sunny face.
The handsome one is right in front of you.
Xiaoqi suddenly felt that the pursuit of elegant beauty is a kind of pursuit, and appreciating the beauty in front of him is also a kind of pursuit.
That gorgeous concert shocked the soul, and at this time, there was a feeling of a perfect ending.
Taught Xiaoqi to appreciate beauty.
