Just after the summer vacation, our family of three traveled a long way back to our hometown, saying that we wanted to let me experience life in the countryside so that I could learn to remember the bitter and sweet things. This makes me so happy. My hometown is a fun place!
When I got out of the car, I still thought about the birds that had just been released from the cage, jumping around, smelling the fragrance of the trees, smelling the fragrance of the flowers, and the bursts of nature emanating from the fields, which was intoxicating! Ah, the air in my hometown is flowing life, a jumping staff!
"Ouch!" I yelled. Oh my gosh! I stepped in a puddle! Although the puddle was not deep, it stained my new shoes! My mood immediately took a turn, hey, what the hell is this place, I won a "jackpot" as soon as I arrived. What bad luck!
I lifted up my trousers and carefully avoided these terrible "landmines". Don't get my new trousers dirty this time! Although I feel extremely unhappy, I have just returned to my hometown, so I can’t be sulky! When I saw the old lady who had been waiting at the door for a long time, I had to force out a smile. I had no choice but to make her the elder.
After a long time, the old lady brought a pair of clean sneakers that were not new from somewhere and asked me to put them on. The gloom on my face immediately disappeared, and I put it on as if I had been reborn; although it ended in failure because the shoes were too big, I still felt grateful to the old lady in my heart, because she had more than just a pair of shoes...
Before dawn the next day, bursts of cooking sound hit my eardrums. Oops~~Why can’t I even get a good night’s sleep here? ! I put the pillow over my head, thinking I could catch up on another good night's sleep. Unexpectedly, a crisp rooster crow completely broke my dream of sleeping, followed by bursts of laughter and conversation.
Why are there so many people outside so early? I stretched, yawned and walked out of the room. Wow! Why did everyone wake up? And it’s ready for breakfast! I'm the only one... "Hey? Wake up. Did you sleep well last night?" "Sleep well, sleep well!" Even though mosquitoes stayed with me for most of the night last night, and even though there was not even a fan in the stuffy room, But facing the kind face of the old lady, I had no choice but to answer "Yes".
Looking at the hard rice in the bowl, I really don’t know where to start. Should I eat it or find an excuse to escape? Before I could finish thinking, there were already several large pieces of pork in the bowl. "Eat more, the pork today is particularly fresh! I went to the entrance of the village to buy this pork at around four o'clock today, and I picked the most beautiful piece. Yes, even though I walked several kilometers, I didn’t feel tired at all..." The old lady’s face, which was full of wrinkles carved by time, was filled with a beautiful smile, so natural and so kind!
My uncle secretly told me that the old lady had not been so happy for a long time. When she heard that our family was coming, she went to the mountain to pick a lot of wild vegetables without even thinking about eating. She knew this about us People in the city love to eat this... My eyes are blurry at this moment, don't cry, don't cry! Hold it! I was really afraid that tears would fall at this moment, and my right hand was pulled by a force at the same time. I grabbed the chopsticks tightly and sent the bowl full of love to my mouth one by one. The taste of happiness filled my lips. By the way...
After having breakfast, I thought I could sit down and watch TV, but I didn't expect that I was arrested to help feed the pigs!
I originally thought pigs were cute and honest, but once I walked into the pig shed, all my imagination was changed. When the four or five big fat pigs saw us coming in, they bumped against the wooden fence excitedly, as if they were about to rush out at any time. Not only does it look scary, but its screams are also terrifying, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The sound of the collision is mixed with the "heartbreaking" pig cry, and the scene is really spectacular!
"Come! Put this bucket of feed over there, and then I'll show you how to feed it." As soon as I heard that the old lady was about to start feeding the pigs, my interest increased greatly. After all, I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I have seen how pigs are fed. How ridiculous!
I saw the old lady tapping the wooden fence rhythmically with her left hand, holding the water spoon in her right hand, gently scooping it into the bucket, and then spreading it hard into the pig shed. The golden feed was drawn in mid-air. They made a perfect arc and landed successfully half a second later. A few of the bigger ones reacted quickly. As soon as they smelled the scent of feed approaching, they swarmed up, followed by another "ouch" cry. My hands itched from watching it, and I wanted to try it myself right away; hold on, hold on, you'll be satisfied later.
After a "long" wait, it was finally the time for me to "show off my skills."
I took the water spoon from the old lady's hand, scooped a large spoonful of feed from the bucket in a decent manner, and waved it as if it was serious - "Oh!" I didn't finish the wave! Do it again. One scoop, one lift, one wave! "Ouch -" A big fat pig slammed into the wooden fence. Maybe it was too greedy and wanted to rush out and plunder the big bucket of "delicious food"! I was so frightened that I threw away the spoon and ran out like a ghost.
I thought I would be scolded severely by the old lady, but she didn't. She just smiled at me and told me to go back to the house. I was full of doubts, why didn’t the old lady scold me when I just threw all the spoons into the pig pen? What’s going on?
At noon, the old lady and I walked to the vegetable garden while chatting. After the disastrous failure of feeding the pigs in the morning, I decided that I must do something big this time. Just as I bent down to pick up my trousers, the old lady came over and touched my head and said, "Go sit on that big rock over there!" "I promise I will do a good job this time!" "Silly boy! There are a lot of mosquitoes in the vegetable field, and the sun is so poisonous. Just go and sit there for a while! It'll be cooler there." "That's okay, I've been used to it for decades."
I couldn't persuade the old lady, so I had to sit on the big rock as she said. The sun was getting more and more poisonous, and looking at the old lady's bent back from working day and night, I felt like sitting on pins and needles. I felt so heartbroken...
I looked around boredly and suddenly saw the hill behind the old house. I stared at it, wondering if the flowers all over the mountains and fields, the colorful butterflies, and the sweet and sour hawthorns were still there; I wonder if the groups of kites and the reed pipes of the children herding the cows were still there...< /p>
A few days later, our family of three had to go back. The old lady didn’t say anything, she just held my hand tightly, and I clearly felt a slight tremor...
I can’t help but blush when I think back on the “country life experience” I’ve had these past few days. He said he was going to feed the pigs, but he was scared to death by the pigs; he said he was going to plant vegetables, but he sat on a stone and watched the old lady working alone...
The car stopped, and the old lady's figure was blurred. Is it touching? Why are the corners of my eyes wet? At this moment, I suddenly understood: Rather than experiencing rural life, it is better to experience the unique and pure love that the old lady has for me!
I held the big bunch of wild vegetables that the old lady handed me before leaving, with tears in my eyes...
