Local Lacey

The sun has set in the west, and the shadow of the old stage is coming little by little. I want to lean down happily and slide down from the millstone. He patted his ass and said to Qilu, "The world is really chaotic!" This loose frame wheel has not moved for decades, and the texture eroded by wind and rain is somewhat similar to the wrinkles on Laixi's face. It can understand the old man, but it won't open its mouth.

Lacey couldn't figure out why her father adopted him at first.

Lai Xi was not originally called Xi. His father named him Chen Jixian, and he also had a brother named Chen Xixian. The old man is very knowledgeable. He is the headmaster of a rural school. His brother is ten years older than him and also teaches at school. It was not easy to run a school in the village at that time. There are either no teachers or no school buildings, and children from seven or eight villages around have to come to Chenjiazhuang if they want to study. People in Shiliba Village call their father and son old gentlemen and young gentlemen.

Old Mr. Chen is very strict with his children. He must study hard to read and write, and even behave himself in peacetime. For example, when eating, you must hold the bowl with your hands, sit up straight, don't bend over and climb on the table, take the right amount of food, move steadily, don't pinch the bowl and chopsticks with your mouth, don't "smack your mouth" and so on.

The three children in Xiao Jixian's second aunt's house are very unruly. If they are happy, they are old and know something. If they are happy, they will be naughty. They'll be embarrassed all day, with snot sticking to their cuffs. On holidays, there is a walk between relatives, and the three babies walk on their forefeet. Teacher Chen will use them as negative materials to teach Xiao Jixian a lesson. But Xiao Jixian never imagined that one day, instead, he would learn from these three guys without a tutor.

It is said that Mr. Chen listened to the fortune teller when he decided to give his youngest son to his second aunt's house. The fortune teller said that the characters below are not good, and the biological parents can only be safe if they are adopted to other people's homes. At that time, Xiao Jixian was in high school, and ten thousand people did not give up. They took a ruler and were dragged away by the second uncle with tears. Xiao Jixian hated his father from then on.

Xiao Jixian looks like his father, tall and thin. My second uncle joked that you have too little meat, so I'm embarrassed to call you "Sixi". Let's just call it "Lacey".

Since "Jixian" has become "Lacey", he has to live the life of "Lacey". He had to work in the fields with his second uncle and brothers. As for books, I'm afraid there are not many books in this small village. Sanxi is only one year older than him, but people can do some small farm work and earn some points to support their families. Lacey can only do odd jobs in the fields, breaking corn and holding straws. Don't tell me, Lacey is even a joke to eat.

When I came home from work, my second aunt knocked on the wok, and four men went to fill a big bowl of rice, but I couldn't react for a long time. This is to invite him to dinner. When the food was served, the four of them squatted on the ground and panted. Lai Xi also squatted on the ground, with his heels feebly touching the ground. He staggered and dropped all the bowls. Hill and Sanxi smiled innocently.

Lacey used to like studying, but life suddenly became like this. He really can't figure it out and hates his father even more.

You have to rely on others to come to Xi, and you should be extra careful in everything you do. After he broke three bowls, he could squat down to eat like his brothers, and he gradually got used to farm work, and technical work such as thinning seedlings and pinching tops was not a problem. The work can't even be done well.

For four or five years, Laixi never went back to visit her biological parents. There are seven or eight miles of land in the neighboring village, and he sometimes goes to pay a New Year call to his uncle Mr. Chen. He refused to go either, but occasionally he met Xixian to visit his second aunt and uncle. Hee-hyun is cold to him and will ignore him. It seems that the second uncle's family never mentions his biological parents. Until one day, the second aunt said to him, I'm afraid I can't go back to see your father. Lai Xi can't refuse any more.

Mr. Chen is dying, and he can't even say a complete sentence. Everything in the house was smashed to pieces, and the originally full bookshelf became empty. The couplet written by Mr. Chen himself, "Everything is inferior, only reading is high", is painted with red paint.

Xixian said to Laixi, it's been four or five years, and dad just sent you away from home. It's a mess. If you continue to criticize, I'm afraid I won't hold on.

Laixi finally understood his father's painstaking efforts and burst into tears with a "wow". Mr. Chen finally showed a smile on his face and left.

I didn't adopt my own son. You don't have to wear linen and filial piety to see Mr. Chen off, and you don't have to mourn for three years.

The year after Mr. Chen left, he was married by his second uncle. The scholar didn't come to a good end, and Laixi gave up completely, so he no longer regretted dropping out of school. Farmers still have to cultivate the land well. A few years later, the land was contracted to households, and Lacey felt that life had a head start.

In a blink of an eye, Laixi's son grew up and went to junior high school in the new school in the village.

Lacey's son is Huwa, the son of Teacher Chen, and a study material. Some knowledgeable people in the village said that this boy will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University in the future. Lai doesn't think so. He said that if you know a word, you can add, subtract, multiply and divide. It's no use reading too much The idea of coming to Xi is not special. Most people in the village think so, not to mention that there is a lesson from Teacher Chen.

The country has a policy, and I dare not stop Tiger Baby from going to school when I come to Xi, so I can only insinuate. He said that taking the college entrance examination is a job. An empty rice bowl is a beggar, and there must be food in the bowl. What is planted in our field! "Man's hard work turns stone into gold", cultivate the land well, and you can have whatever you want! Tigress doesn't like to hear it, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

Children in rural areas have to work in the fields in their spare time. Lai is already an expert in farm work, and his farm work is as meticulous as embroidery. He hoped that his son would help him earlier, so he took Tiger Baby to the field to teach him hand in hand whenever he had the chance.

Hill's son Niu Niu is about the same age as Tiger Wa. He also helps families, such as mowing grass and herding cattle. Lacey often teaches Tiger Baby, saying, Look at Niu Niu, the bundles of barnyard grass cut back are all empty, and his cows are getting thinner and thinner, and they work hard, so they can't be like him. Whether she likes it or not, Tigress works hard.

Learning is a chore. If a father doesn't urge him, he just urges him to work. Whether he likes it or not, it is natural for Huwa to drop out of school. On the contrary, they were happy, an illiterate bumpkin, but their son Niu Niu was admitted to a technical secondary school and went to the provincial capital to study. Lai scoffed, but Tigress cried alone for a long time after hearing the news.

It's Huwa's turn to hate his father this time. Tigress refused to go to the fields again and tried to go out to work. She would rather sleep in a cement pipe in the city than go back to the countryside. Jumping and cursing for joy, but it's even harder in the dark. Lacey always has the best harvest in the village. The old couple scrimped and saved, so they built a big tile house. Lai Xi told his wife that when you can't get along in the city, you must come back and live a quiet life.

Niu Niu went to work after graduating from technical secondary school and earned more than a few wages. He had to get married and buy a house, which made Hill scratch his head. Lai Xixiang said, what did you say? Learning doesn't help. But during the Chinese New Year, Tigress stuck with Niuniu as soon as she came back, and the other brothers in the family didn't stay in North Korea at all. Lai said a few words to him, and Tigress retorted, How do you know that the city is good? Lacey doesn't know how to live in the city, so she has to stop talking.

Two years later, Lacey asked Huwa for a daughter-in-law. I thought I could tie my son up, but Hu Wa and his wife can't live in a spacious house. Both of them went to the city to drift and work for others. I have a granddaughter all my life, and my grandmother has gone to town. Four people rent a pigeon nest.

I visited my wife occasionally, but I couldn't stay at my son's house for a day. I scolded my son before I went back to my hometown. If you don't work or farm, the village loafers are more comfortable than you.

Back to the topic, scold, brought a lot of things to town. Home-grown millet, beans, chickens and fried fish should also bring 50 Jin of white flour, or he will move the whole kitchen into the city if he can't get it.

Daughter-in-law always says that what Dad brings is better than that in the city. If you come to Xi, you will scold and you will say. This is not planted in the field! I don't know you yet, so I want Lao Tzu to send you more. After scolding, bring more next time you go to town.

I can't tell you clearly when I come to Xi, so what's good about crowded people in the city!

My wife became the mother of my granddaughter, and suddenly she felt lonely and old. He learned to smoke dry. He coughed violently every morning when he got up, and then he smoked twice before he stopped coughing.

Sometimes I go to town to see my wife, who nags about Lai Xi's housework.

When the granddaughter is old enough to go to school, Huwatuo is looking for a relationship in the city. The boss had a hard time getting into a school in the city, private, and the tuition was too high for people to ask.

Granddaughter went to junior high school and had a relationship with someone. The teacher called her parents, and the couple didn't have time to go, so she went, and was scolded by the teacher again, saying what kind of parents you are.

Granddaughter went to high school and couldn't keep up with her homework. She went to the teacher to make up lessons, but she spent a lot of money and was afraid that no one would invite her. The couple are very worried.

Because Huwa was not allowed to study, Lacey felt indefensible and dared not stop her granddaughter again. She had to tighten her belt to collect some money for her son.

Finally, my granddaughter was admitted to the university, which took four years. After graduation, she can't do anything, and she still does odd jobs everywhere, only playing mobile phones one day.

Laixi can't help it, just say, don't play with your mobile phone all day, what's good in it! Granddaughter curled her lips and wriggled away. His wife complains about him, and his parents don't care. You've been here for a day and a half and you still say these useless things! This is the fire of happiness, growled. Then why do you wait on them every day and come home with me? After yelling, I still went back to my hometown in a huff.

Lai Xi is really puzzling. When he wants to study, he can't. Later, he thought he should be a good farmer, but his children and grandchildren refused to farm. Now it is not appropriate to even persuade my granddaughter to work hard and find someone seriously.

Day after day, I can't move on. Looking at the increasingly barren fields, I can't help but feel sad. Occasionally, I will think that if the world is not chaotic and Mr. Chen lives well, will he become a literate person and ask for nothing else? An educated person may know what the younger generation is thinking.

When winter comes, Lao Laixi and a group of old men sit in the sun and chat every day. He said: "The world is chaotic!" The old people have run away, and their ears are covered with cocoons. This is the only one who can't run away and is willing to listen to Lao Laixi talk about these things, but he can't open his mouth and can't comfort this dead old man who can't keep up with his trip all his life.
