Chapter 2 Back to Hometown
It's not far from the street to home.
But in this dark night, walking in this alley is still quite scary. The road is dirt and bumpy, and it is impossible to drag the suitcase. I had to put down the bag on my right hand and the bag on my back.
Put it down, take out the rope from the bag, tie the bag to the bag with the rope, and squat down to carry it.
I couldn't carry it on my back. I really had no choice. I vaguely saw a low wall in front of me.
So I dragged the big thing to the wall and planned to carry it on the wall. After mustering up all my strength, I actually carried it up.
After carrying it, I turned around and picked up the suitcase. It was so heavy! Fortunately, I had some strength. I mustered up my strength and picked it up. It was just that it was very difficult to walk.
Walk and rest, rest and walk, and finally arrive at the door of your house.
Looking towards the house from the crack of the courtyard door, it was pitch black. My brothers must have fallen asleep after waiting for sleep. Only the black tiger swayed his head and tail cleverly to welcome me. When I reached through the crack of the door, I opened the iron door buckle and went in.
, it pounced on my feet excitedly. It was very excited and didn’t bark. It just pounced, shook and licked.
I haven’t seen it for more than half a year. I don’t know if it remembers me, recognizes me, or smells that I am a family member. Anyway, seeing it like this makes my heart feel warm. I put down the box and backpack and squatted down to hold it.
I touched my head and stroked it. It licked my hand and my face with its tongue. At that moment, my eyes felt a little hot...
Let go of Heihu. I quickly walked across the courtyard. I pushed the door of the main room slightly, and it opened slightly. I pushed the long bench against the door halfway with my hand, and the door opened. I fumbled and pulled it open.
The electric light was turned on, and the bright light was a bit dazzling.
He turned around and took the bag into the main room and put it down. Then he went back and locked the courtyard door, took the box back and put it down, and locked the main room door. Suddenly, like a deflated ball, he collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep...
I turned over at night and fell off the sofa without any suspense. I woke up. Since I was awake, I was naturally hungry. I opened the kitchen cabinet door and saw that my brothers had left food for me. I turned around and took it out to hang on the wall.
Put the iron-eared pot on the stove, climb down and remove the wooden cover, reach down and open the stove door lid, and a burst of coal dust suddenly floated up. The fire soon started to burn. Once the food was hot, ladle it in
Eaten in a bowl.
Only then did I take a closer look at "home".
Alas! It’s still the same.
In the main room of more than ten square meters, there are four wooden doors at the four corners of the east, west, north and south.
The door on the east side near the south corner is connected to the east room, the door on the north side near the east corner is the adult's bedroom, the door on the west side near the north corner is connected to the kitchen, toilet and pigsty, and the door on the south side near the west corner is the main room door.
It leads to Yuanba.
The sofa is still the same set I bought for 300 yuan during the Spring Festival last year. It is a "four-in-one" fabric sofa placed next to the south wall. It's just that it's seriously sunk and looks old and worn.
Next to the north wall are the kitchen cabinet, TV cabinet and table. Above the TV cabinet is the "shrine". The so-called "shrine" is just two nails used for building houses in rural areas, and the nails on one side are hammered flat.
Nail it straight into the wall, and the other nail's foot points upward. In this way, a wooden board with a long bench placed between the two nails is the "shrine". On the shrine are placed the same old three, incense, wax, money and paper (burned to
A kind of paper from our ancestors that is similar to the "underworld coins", available in white and yellow colors). On the wall above the shrine is a seven-inch portrait of Sakyamuni Buddha. This is the "Pure" offered by the adults.
"Buddha".
Beside the east wall are a big bench, a floor stove and three long benches in three directions surrounding the floor stove. There is also a long bench beside the west wall, which is the long bench used to reach the door of the hall. On the right side of the wall is a hanging bench.
The place where the iron pot was placed. When I looked up, I saw that the fluorescent lamp above the stove was gone. It was probably broken and could no longer be used. Hanging there was a 45-watt light bulb with a tungsten wire hanging inside the pear-like glass.
The light bulb hangs down from the third strip (purlin) for about a foot or so. There is a nail nailed to the strip, and the wire connecting the light bulb is tied with a knot and hung on the nail.
Sitting on the big bench and looking towards the floor above the west wall, I saw that the hole in the floor between the second strip and the third strip, the size of a peach stone, was still growing quietly. That hole turned out to be
No, it was a scar from a tree branch on the wooden board. It may have been caused by moisture and uneven thermal expansion and contraction, and it fell off later. For us, this hole has some joy. Next to the hole
There is a barn above the floor. The brothers sleep in the barn. When you lower your heads, you can see that the ground is still compacted earth. There is no cement to lay the floor, and there are no fashionable floor tiles.
