early morning.

Dangdangdangdang-

A low snoring sounded in my ears.

When Lu Ye opened his eyes, he realized that he had fallen asleep on his parents' bed last night because he was thinking about things.

Sitting up from the bed, Lu Ye found that his mother had already gotten up, only his father was snoring lightly, and he slept sweetly.

After getting out of bed, he found his clothes and put them on a few strokes. He walked to the TV cabinet and looked at the pendulum clock. The light was a little dim, but when the distance was close, he could still see that the hour and minute hands on the mirror of the pendulum clock were in a vertical shape.

Just six o'clock, the "clang" sound he heard in a daze should be the time sound of the pendulum clock on time.

After leaving the room, Lu Ye came outside the gate and immediately felt the cold air on the shop.

It’s just bright outside on a winter morning.

There was a faint layer of white frost on the dense poles of the rice sky in the distance, and the heat quickly formed in the air, like smoke and clouds.

"Why are you kid getting up so early? Are you not afraid of the cold?" A voice came from not far away.

Lu Ye looked over the sound and saw an old man standing next to the well in front of the door. He was wearing a patched blue Zhongshan suit, two old sweaters inside, and a pair of wide military green coarse cloth pants on the lower body, and was greeting him with an empty bucket.

"Brother-in-law Winter Dog!" Lu Ye saw the old man clearly and greeted with a smile, "I haven't seen you and my mother-in-law these days!"

Donggou is named Xu, and is the neighbor next door to Lu Ye. He has been very nice to him since he was a child. Sometimes his parents are not at home, so they basically go to Xu Donggou's house for dinner.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, many families named their children this way. One is that their education is limited, and the other is that they are cheap and easy to raise. In Peng Yan, there are many names with the word "dog" added in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Xu Donggou has two sons who have separated and three daughters have gotten married, and the younger generation is not in front of him.

When he was a child, Lu Ye was sweet and diligent, so he was quite favored in front of his neighbors. Occasionally, the elderly from the two families would bring them back to him if they had a banquet.

Of course, after being a teenager, Lu Ye gradually realized the gap between people in life. He was introverted and sensitive during his teenage years, which is another story.

As for the name of the father-in-law, it has nothing to do with the eunuchs and eunuchs. It is in the local dialect, which is the name of men of the grandfather's generation. The original meaning is actually the name of the elderly. The corresponding woman is called the mother-in-law.

In the past few days after Lu Ye was reborn, he saw these old people who had passed away in his memory appearing in front of him again. In fact, he felt quite emotional.

Standing by the well, he was hooking a bamboo pole with a hook on the handle of the bucket. He nimbled a bucket of water with one arm, and replied with a smile: "I went to my aunt's house a few days ago, and I just came back last night." As he said that, Xu Donggou paused and said, "Xiaohe will come up in a few days."

"Yeah?"

Lu Ye was slightly surprised when he heard the name Xiaohe.

Yang Xiaohe is Xu Donggou's nephew, the same age as Lu Ye, and also Lu Ye's childhood friend.

However, compared to Peng Lingyun who gradually became distant later, Yang Xiaohe and Lu Ye's relationship has always been well maintained. Even though they were not together in high school and college later, everyone would meet during festivals. Until Lu Ye's rebirth, both of them were hardcore.

"What delicious food is your mother making for you again. Why don't you go and have a look? The fragrance has spread to the road."

Xu Donggou joked at Lu Ye, then picked up the bucket with his left arm and walked home.

Lu Ye followed a few steps to the small path in front of the door. He did not continue to ask about Yang Xiaohe. Instead, he remembered another person because he saw Xu Donggou appear.

Standing on the side of the road, Lu Ye looked at the left rear of his house.

There is an old house with dirt walls on both sides and wooden in the middle. The layout is similar to that of Lu Ye’s family, but it looks much dilapidated.

This is his other neighbor, Huang Qiugu's family.

Huang Qiugu is about the same age as Xu Donggou. He has one son and two daughters. He has married and his son works in the forestry station in the town and usually lives with two elderly people.

The reason why Lu Ye suddenly remembered Huang Qiugu was mainly because of his identity.

Huang Qiugu is the village party secretary of Shangyun Village.

It is said that the original name is the same as Xu Donggou, and it was named Huang Qiugou. After liberation, he adopted literacy and read the words, actively moved closer to the organization, and changed the original name. Even the name is almost the same in the local dialect.

In the past few days, Lu Ye was planning how to change the family's economic situation as much as possible, and once focused on Huang Qiugu.

But Lu Ye gave up after thinking about it. He is now a real "small person's words are light". Unless he immediately sets himself up with a setting such as "magic powers" and "monsters", what he can do is really limited.

Moreover, in Lu Ye's memory, Huang Qiugu almost never entered his house. He was good at him and his mother Ye Yuanqiu, but he looked down on Lu Huoxing. He even had a few scoldings from Huang Qiugu.

Lu Huoxing would secretly curse Huang Qiugu in private, but when Huang Qiugu passed away and many of the mountains and forests in the village were contracted and embezzled, he once again said that there was no village cadres like Huang Qiugu that protects the interests of the village.

...

Lu Ye returned to the kitchen from the small path in front of the door. The air was still filled with the smell of fried rice. However, as soon as he entered the door, Lu Ye did not see Ye Yuanqiu frying lantern cakes in front of the stove, but instead sat on the dining table to eat.

"Mom, have you finished fried lantern cake?"

Lu Ye walked to the dining table and asked curiously.

I took a casual look at the morning food. Two dishes, one pot of stewed first slices and one stir-fried sauerkraut, and the staple food was rice.

"Fried over." Ye Yuanqiu picked up a chopstick dish, raised his hand and pointed to an old cotton jacket next to the dining table.

"Um?"

Lu Ye reached out and lifted the old cotton jacket, and saw that it was wrapped in a bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket was covered and padded with clean steamed rice white cotton cloth, and there was still a vague heat. When I lifted the covered steamed rice cotton cloth, I immediately saw one golden fried lamp cake.

Lu Ye simply estimated that there should be about thirty people. He immediately turned his head in surprise and looked at Ye Yuanqiu, "Mom, when did you get up?"

The work of the lamp cake is not troublesome when the ingredients are ready, but each fried time is not short. Moreover, there is only one iron spoon at home, and there is no rotation, so it takes more time. In addition, his mother also made breakfast for the family, but... but it was just six o'clock at dawn.

"About four o'clock."

Ye Yuanqiu finished picking up the rice in the bowl, put it down and walked quickly and reached out to rub Lu Ye's head, "Why are you getting up so early? It's too cold? Is your dad waking you up by watching TV early in the morning?"

"No." Lu Ye shook his head, "He hasn't woken up yet."

"Well, then you wash your face first, there is hot water in the pot."

Ye Yuanqiu got up and packed up the dishes she had just eaten, then walked to the stove and picked up three thermoses in one hand, and carried the bamboo basket wrapped in an old cotton jacket on the dining table in the other hand, and said to Lu Ye, "Eat quickly after washing, so you can't go to the national highway so early."

As he said that, he murmured again, "Oh, I don't know if it's sold out."

Lu Ye stood in front of the kitchen door, watching his mother leaving Fengfenghuohuo, and was a little lost for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

My income yesterday morning was good, and I spent about ten yuan a morning. Apart from the blowout, I was basically not tired.

He expected his mother to be more motivated today, but he didn't expect that this motivation was much stronger than he thought.

"It's good." Lu Ye murmured in a low voice.
