The surname culture that almost every Chinese child can blurt out is an obvious and profound symbol in the records of Chinese culture. The sages were always able to extract such essence of connotation from the original complicated things, and pass it on to future generations, so that our descendants after a thousand years are also fortunate to have a glimpse of the prosperous appearance of this cultural essence.
The surname of Qingxi Village is Li, and the last three generations in this village all have the surname Li. It was not until the fourth generation, when a son-in-law from a family without a son, married a son-in-law surnamed Wang, that Qingxi Village had such a sharp-edged son-in-law. last name. There is a large family with intricate kinship in Qingxi Village, because their ancestors all come from an old man. The old man gave birth to nine sons in total, and each son was named with a character for mountain, so there are nine mountains in total. The old man hopes that these nine mountains can guard this land from generation to generation, and they can live and prosper on this land forever and carry on the family line.
The nine mountains are:
Li Jinshan;
Li Yinshan;
Li Zhishan;
Li Zhenshan;
Li Jingshan;
Li Baoshan;
Lee Tim-shan;
Li Shangshan;
Li Wenshan.
Li Changqing's grandfather is the old eighth Li Shangshan, and his father is Li Yongsheng. Because his father Li Yongsheng is the grandfather's "old son", he is almost a whole generation behind his peers, so the seniority of Li Changqing's family is almost the same in the village. It is the lowest generation, and almost everyone who is slightly older than me is called uncle or grandpa, and even those younger than me are called uncle. There are other traditions of respect and inferiority, which have never been messed up here.
Li Yongsheng and his wife Xu Jinhua were baby relatives since they were young. In that special era, everyone followed the traditions of their ancestors. Promises are as good as gold, and things that are agreed will be kept. Therefore, even though Xu Jinhua moved to Liaoning, one of the three eastern provinces, with her family at the age of six to escape the turmoil of the Anti-Japanese War, she was recalled by Li Yongsheng's marriage contract at the age of twenty, and returned alone to Qingxi Village, thousands of miles away, to marry her. . At that time, she was already the local women's director, but in the years since then she has become a housewife with peace of mind, bearing children, running between the fields and the stove, which is the fate of almost all rural women.
Her children were born one after another, and she has six children in total: the eldest daughter Li Changshu, the eldest son Li Changming, the second son Li Changqing, the third son Li Changman, the fourth son Li Changnian, and the youngest daughter Li Changfeng. Although she used to be a women's director, her thinking seems to have not been enlightened, and her patriarchal thinking is deeply rooted, so she especially likes this eldest son, Li Changming. Bearing the joke of "cutting off children and grandchildren for the Li family", it was this son who brought her hope, allowing her to live here with hope and pride. Although this son has physical defects, this has never affected Xu Jinhua's preference for him. The favored are always happy, but the balance is only flat when it is fair. At the same time, the neglected one can only be stuck in the throat, such as Li Changqing.
People are always full of indescribable obsession with people or things that bring them hope at a certain moment, be it love or hate. Obsession is good for some people and bad for others. Just like Xu Jinhua's obsession, she gave more love as a mother to this elder son, so that the younger son who was born next to the elder son received completely opposite treatment.
"Mom, I'm going out to play." Fourteen-year-old Li Changming threw down his schoolbag after school and was about to run out to beat monkeys with the village children. He had already reached out and grabbed the whip that his father specially made for himself. It was the best selected mulberry sticks, hard and thick, and the rope in front was also the best one at home.
"Wait a minute, you eat this half of pancake first. Mom left it for you at noon." Xu Jinhua called his eldest son, Li Changming, and took out the precious half from the pan with great care. Pancakes, this is what she warmed up for her son after calculating the time after school. This time of ice and snow is really suitable for playing with whip monkeys. The little thing will turn on the ice for a long time because of the round bead below. Frolicking on the ice. That powerful child is like Li Changming who just finished replenishing his energy.
Li Changqing, who had just finished his duty at school, saw his elder brother happily playing with his friends on the ice, and couldn't help but feel envious.
"Brother, wait for me, I will come to you in a while." Li Changqing shouted happily to Li Changming, but was immersed in the crowd of friends.Li Changming, who was praising, did not give the slightest response. But Li Changqing ran home excitedly, took off his small schoolbag and was about to run outside. There was almost nothing in his schoolbag, except for the two old books left by Li Changming, a broken notebook, and a broken pencil. In Li Changming's schoolbag next to him, the textbooks are brand new, the notebooks are newly bought, and there is even a pencil case.
"Mom, I'm going to find my brother to play whip monkey."
"Stop." Xu Jinhua sternly stopped him when he heard that his son was going out to play. Li Changqing stopped instinctively, waiting for her mother's order.
"Let your elder brother play, you have to boil water for me to feed the pigs, I haven't finished peeling the peanuts here, you can help mom do it first, and play next time." Xu Jinhua didn't take his eyes off the peanuts, and his head He gave orders to Li Changqing without lifting it.
Li Changqing's excitement disappeared in an instant. It was like this every time. When he wanted to go out to play, there would always be housework waiting for him. Every time the next time became the next time. Can it become this time? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
