Chen's mother took Xiaoxi to help her mother-in-law pack up the table of good food. Xiaoxi went back and called her father and brother, and then the meal started.

Grandpa Chen hasn't seen his son for about a year, and now he is right in front of him. He is very happy and said to his wife: "Old woman, go and bring the white wine. I'll have two drinks of Wen Zhang."

Because of the family reunion, I was very happy that Dad Chen and Grandpa Chen both drank a few more drinks.

My mother-in-law burned hot water, and my mother called me, washed my father's face and feet, and helped him back to the bedroom, and then came back to help my mother-in-law clean up the kitchen.

"I have been out for more than a year. Although my alcohol tolerance has increased, it still cannot. I can't drink it. I just knocked him down after two glasses..." Grandpa Chen also drank a lot. His face turned red at this moment, and his feet were soaked and his mouth was muttering.

Seeing his wife like that, the mother-in-law showed her power and said, "Oh, you're OK, you're OK, you're going to have a few sips of cat pee, and then muttered endlessly. She also said that she wasn't drunk, so she quickly washed her feet and went back to bed to sleep."

In front of his wife, when his wife said this, Grandpa Chen's ears turned red. Looking at the two little boys who were covering their mouths and laughing, he couldn't help but glaring at them, and didn't say much. He quickly took his feet out of the basin, wiped them clean, splashed water, and then returned to the room with his shoes.

When the streams returned to the bedroom, Chen's father was already asleep and snored, loudly roaring.

Lying on the bed, Xiaoxi thought that he would definitely not be able to sleep amid the deafening snoring, but he didn't expect that with the familiar snoring, he fell asleep in a short while.

In the middle of the night, Xiaoxi was awakened by noise. The whole bed was moving, accompanied by a suppressed panting. Xiaoxi understood immediately and didn't dare to move. He quickly closed his eyes. Ah, I didn't hear anything, so I went to bed quickly.

A month is very long and actually very short. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Every day, Xiaoxi was sent to school by his parents in the morning and picked up by his parents at night. He was so happy that he was very happy.

It was clear that the sky was clear and it was almost over. But it was suddenly covered with dark clouds and the sky was dark and so suffocating. Sure enough, before the school bell was finished, heavy rain started to fall.

After packing my schoolbag and leaving the classroom, my mother hadn't come yet, so I was a little bored to wait. The school's teaching building is a brick house with a sink on the roof. A drainage pipe was installed at a distance to clear the rain. At this moment, the stream pulled Chen Yubin's collar with one hand, and then the three of them continued to play with the rain. Because the rain was heavy, the sink was filled with rain in a short while. In addition, it fell from six or seven meters high, and the rain was relatively strong. The hand was shaking left and right, which was a little numb. The small stones in the small puddle formed on the ground were also hit and fell. After a while, waves also rose in the small puddle.

"Xiaoxi, Binbin, Xiaojuan." Chen's mother walked from the school gate with a big black umbrella and water shoes.

Seeing that my mother was finally here, Xiaoxi happily called out: "Mom."

Half of the aisles were wet with rain, but the three of them stood in the aisles to play with rain. Chen's mother said with a hunched face: "Why are you playing with rain? Why don't you stand back and get wet your clothes. See how you do it, and Xiaojuan is the same, so you are not allowed to play." After that, she went up the steps.

"Xiaojuan, your grandpas are busy at the house, so they asked me to bring you an umbrella, and they won't come to pick you up." After that, he put the umbrella, leaned against the wall, took out the water shoes from the plastic bag, changed it to Xiaoxi, Binbin and Zhao Juan, and then put the changed shoes back into the bag and put them in the schoolbag.

Mother Chen took out a red and blue lattice umbrella from her hand and opened it, and handed it to Zhao Juan to hold it. Another blue and white lattice was used for Xiaoxi. She pulled Binbin to hold an umbrella together, and the four of them walked out of the school.

The rain was very heavy, and soon water gathered on the road, and washed out small canals along the slopes (because of the streams, the roads were basically not flat due to the mountains), which was very beautiful.

Because of this piece of soil, both sides are homes, and they are always stepped on and exposed to the sun every day, and they are compacted. There is no big problem with the three children walking. But when they get to the bottom, the place covered by trees is covered with mud, and the three children can't get out after stepping in and can't get out at all.

There was no way, they couldn't leave, so Chen's mother had to carry them back.

"Xiaoxi Xiaojuan, you are waiting for me here. I will carry Binbin to the front first, and then carry you." After they agreed, Chen's mother handed the big black umbrella in her hand to Binbin and then carried Binbin.

After walking two steps, Chen's mother looked back at them and said with great relief: "So good, you two are obedient, stay here and wait for me, put the umbrella in place, don't get wet in the rain."

Zhao Juan nodded and said obediently: "I understand, cousin, I'm waiting for you here."

Seven or eight minutes later, Chen's mother appeared again.

Xiaoxi held an umbrella with one hand and wrapped her arm around Chen's mother's neck. Her whole body was leaning against her mother's back. As she walked, her legs, which were held by Chen's knees, were also shaking.

Although Chen's mother is an adult and walks steadily, the muddy dirt road also makes her walk slipperyly.

Putting his chin on his mother's shoulder, Xiaoxi asked slowly, "Mom, why didn't Dad come?"

Because she was carrying her back, Xiaoxi couldn't see Chen's mother's expression, and she only heard a slight panting and replied: "When I first left the house today, the sky was gloomy, and the quilt and food were still drying at home, so I'll leave your dad at home to clean up with your grandpa and the others."

"Oh." The head resting on Chen's mother's shoulder pointed.

"Xiaoxi, what did you learn in school today?" Chen's mother asked as usual.

Listening to my mother asking about this, Xiaoxi was energetic, tightened her arm that was holding Mom Chen's neck, raised her butt, and said excitedly: "Mom, my painting today was praised by Teacher Jiang, and I gave me a hundred points. I will go back to show you."

Hearing his daughter's joy, Chen's mother was also infected and said with a smile: "Okay, our stream is great."

Mother Chen put the stream on a stone and stayed with Chen Yubin, panting and instructed: "You are waiting for your mother here." After that, he turned around and walked back.

Xiaoxi shouted anxiously: "Mom, umbrella." He raised the big black umbrella in his hand.

Mother Chen didn't even twist her head and didn't stop. The sound came from afar through the rain, "It's okay, the rain is not heavy, mom doesn't need it, you can use it." Then the figure disappeared.

Looking at the deep and shallow footprints on the road, Xiaoxi remembered that Zhao Bo asked for leave and didn't come to class today because of a fever. He couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If Zhao Bo was here too today, his mother would have to carry four people back and forth.

After a while, Chen's mother carried Zhao Juan over, changed to Binbin to carry it, put down the stream on a stone by the river, and went back to carry Zhao Juan without stopping.

The rain has stopped now, and the stream has collected umbrellas. There is a rice field by the river. At this time, the rice leaves are slightly yellow and the grout is over. The ears of the grain bent heavily on the branches. The washed rice is golden and full of grains, with water droplets hanging on it, which makes the color more and more gratifying. In two days, you can harvest the rice.

Chen's mother carried Zhao Juan over and put it down and then Chen Yubin carried it up. After two or three times, she got home.

When she got home and put down her three children, Chen's mother was already tired and sweating profusely. She sat on the chair and gasped. Xiaoxi quickly poured a glass of boiling water and let it go, pulled her brother back to the room to change her shoes, and then took the shoes she wanted to change for her mother.

On this day, it was Xiaoxi's turn to thresh the millet on the weekend. Because Dad Chen, a young laborer, came back, grandpa gave him the work of carrying the mixing bucket and carrying the millet.

This year, I stayed Xiaoxi at home to watch the millet, and left Chen Yubin. Due to the large number of people, Chen’s mother and mother-in-law didn’t go out in the morning. After breakfast, they packed up their homes and started preparing lunch.

After having lunch in a lively manner, after half an hour of rest, everyone went to work again. My mother-in-law left the work at home and followed them to work.

After they left, Chen's mother washed the dishes quickly, then cooked the pot, planned to boil the pot and heat the water, and then went to feed the pig. When she came back from feeding the pig, the water in the pot was also boiled.

"Xixi, bring a bench." Chen's mother filled a basin of water, put a towel on her shoulder, picked up the shampoo and took the basin and walked towards the edge of the yard. She put the basin down and greeted the stream.

When Xiaoxi came over, she sat on a small bench, untied Xiaoxi's hair rope, pressed her down on her knees, "Come on, close your eyes." Then she started washing.

Xiaoxi didn't like washing his hair, whether in his previous life or in his childhood, because he hung his head like this, blood flowed back, and it made his nose feel uncomfortable. In addition, water can easily remain in his nostrils, which makes him feel uncomfortable. But you can't help but wash your hair, it's greasy.

Finally liberated, Chen's mother helped Xiaoxi up and asked her to wipe her hair by herself. She splashed dirty water at will, changed the basin of water, and caught Chen Yubin to wash it.

Looking at my brother's uncomfortable look, I wiped my hair by the stream and smiled unkindly. Humph, I enjoy my own blessings and have difficulties together. Who told you to laugh at me just now? Ha.

After washing the two children, Chen's mother also scooped a basin of water to wash. After washing her hair, she burned a fire, made a bowl of paste, dried her hair in the yard, and pasted the soles of her shoes, which were used to make cloth shoes.

After the soles of the shoe were pasted, there was still some paste left in the bowl. My mother Chen thought that she could not waste it, so she found a piece of fabric for the upper and cut it into two round shapes with scissors. This fabric was a bit hard and easy to form. My mother Chen folded it into a fold one centimeter wide and pressed it with clean stones. She also found a bamboo board, made it into bamboo slices slightly wider than the fold, cut it into four pieces of handle longer than the radius of the round sheet, and then cut it into the center of the circle, and used the paste to paste the cut of the cloth on the bamboo slice, compact it and put it in the sun for a while. After finishing, she opened the fan and closed the two bamboo slices and became a round fan-shaped fan-shaped, which was a bit like a folding fan. It was very convenient to carry. One for Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin.

After finishing it, the soles of the soles were almost dry, so Chen's mother took out the needle and thread and started to pick up the shoes.
Chapter completed!
