Chapter 10528
"Qing'er, why do you have time to hang out here? The smell here is not good..." Mrs. Sun tapped the Peppa Pig at her feet and turned to ask Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Auntie, I had a dream last night. It was a bit strange. I want to tell you about it."
"Ah?" Mrs. Sun turned around and looked at Yang Ruoqing from head to toe again.
"What a bizarre method? Tell me about it!"
Mrs. Sun walked closer to the fence of the pig pen, bringing several Peppa Pigs behind her with her.
"Go, go, go, do you understand?"
Mrs. Sun waved the long-handled iron ladle in her hand and beat it again, driving away the big-eared Peppa Pigs.
Xiaojie's father, who was not far away, saw this, stood up and said, "It's noisy here, you might as well go over there with Qing'er to talk."
Mrs. Sun thought so, so she opened the fence door and came to Yang Ruoqing, "Let's go to the well to talk, and I'll wash my hands by the way!"
"OK."
The two came to the well. Yang Ruoqing took the initiative to lift the stone cover at the well's mouth and moved it aside.
There was a thick hemp rope held down by a stone cover. One end was tied to a wooden stake on the edge of the well. The other end climbed over the well mouth and extended into the inner wall of the well. A wooden barrel was tied to the end.
At this time, the wooden barrel was floating on the surface of the well water, swaying.
Yang Ruoqing bent down, and the clear well water surface was like a mirror, reflecting her blurry figure.
And after swinging the hemp rope in her hand a few times, the wooden barrels swayed and collided on the water surface. The mirror image on the water surface was suddenly shaken away, and her reflection could no longer be found.
The wooden bucket filled the well with water. Yang Ruoqing took a step with her feet, stabilized her lower body, and then used her arms to pull the wooden bucket full of well water up from the well several meters deep.
When you reach the wellhead, use your other hand to grab the handle of the barrel, lift the bucket to the wellhead, and place it firmly.
At this time, Mrs. Sun had already taken a gourd and ladle and was waiting nearby. When she saw this, she hurriedly scooped up a ladle of water.
She first raised her head and took two sips and said, "Oh, it quenches my thirst so much, it feels so good!"
Yang Ruoqing wanted to remind her not to drink cold water, but it was too late.
Then Mrs. Sun washed her hands with the remaining water in the gourd and ladle.
The water in the bucket was poured into another large basin a few steps away. Then Yang Ruoqing put the empty bucket back into the well and replaced the stone manhole cover to prevent dirt from falling into the well and contaminating it. Water sources and contaminated buckets.
After all this was done, Mrs. Sun smiled at Yang Ruoqing very satisfied, with a motherly warmth in her tone and eyes, and said, "Okay, tell me, what's going on?"
The child's biological mother has gone to the capital. If anything happens, she should come and discuss it with her biological mother's biological sister... The eldest Sun really likes this feeling of being relied on and needed.
Yang Ruoqing was not stupid, and she could see the overwhelming motherly love of the eldest Sun at a glance.
She smiled helplessly, thinking that she was already the mother of several children, and she was also a mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, my aunt regarded me as a child seeking maternal love and care?
"Auntie, when was the last time you went back to burn incense for my grandma? Was it Qingming Festival?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Da Sun was slightly startled, "It's Qingming Festival, what's wrong, Qing'er? Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Did you go back to the old house in Sunjiagou to check it out last time? Is there anything damaged in the house that needs to be repaired?"
Da Sun: "Of course I have. In the past two years, your uncle and your father renovated the old house so that we could have a place to stay when we go back to burn incense and worship our ancestors."
"After all, your Grand Duke is no longer alive. When we return to Sunjiagou, we will no longer have any real relatives to entertain us..."
Speaking of this, even the Great Sun looked a little lonely.
That place is where she was born and raised.
When I lived there, what I longed for most was to get out of the mountains. I didn’t dare to expect that I could go back and forth to the tile market in Qingshui Town on the same day every quarter. At least during the New Year, I could go to the town to do some shopping. Then take the mountain food out and replace it with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea.
But when I actually moved out and the novelty of the previous few years wore off, and I went to the market several times in Wa Shi, I suddenly realized that life was the same no matter outside the mountains or in the mountains.
If I have to talk about a change, it is that the food and clothing are indeed much more generous, and it can also support Dajie to study, pass the exam, and become the first scholar in Sunjiagou!
But as time goes by, especially those acquaintances in Sunjiagou grow old or die one by one, a batch of strange faces emerge in the village.
Some are new wives from other villages, and some are new boys and girls, and these children look the same every year.
Therefore, for the Da Sun family, every year they go back, they will find that there are no obvious changes in the village.
The houses are still the same dozens of short adobe houses, and the villagers are still digging in the soil to eat.
However, there have been many changes in the village.
Mrs. Sun has never been to school, so she can't express her inner feelings. Anyway, she feels that as time goes by, Sunjia Village becomes more and more unfamiliar. It is obvious that people have gone back to burn incense and worship their ancestors, and they are in the same village as Sunjia Village. Li Zheng is also a relative who has never been out of Wufu.
However, I feel that when I go back, my heart can never go back.
Their generation can still go back a few times a year. When their generation is gone and Dajie, Shunzi and the others take over, there will probably be even fewer people going back.
Dajie has only been back to Changping Village a handful of times, and he has not much memory of his childhood in Sunjiagou. By the time I get to Shunzi, I probably only remember Changping Village, hey!
"Last time during the Qingming Festival, we went back to burn incense and worship our ancestors, lived and cooked in the old house, and even stayed overnight!"
"Your father-in-law and your uncle have tidied up the front and back of the house. They also brought toolboxes and reinforced the doors and windows. It's very good. What's wrong, Qing'er? Why do you suddenly ask this?" Mrs. Sun put away those sad thoughts and then asked Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing thought about the dream last night and continued: "That's a bit strange. I had a dream. I dreamed that someone who claimed to be a neighbor of my grandmother's family came to my house to ask for tea. He told me about my grandmother's house. It’s leaking and needs to be repaired!”
"Huh?" When the eldest Sun heard Yang Ruoqing's dream, she felt it was strange and became interested.
"What kind of woman is she? Qing'er, do you remember her? Tell me about it and let me see if I recognize her!"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head. She still remembered the woman's face when she first woke up, but now it was all blurry.
