Cross the river and go up the slope.

When it rains heavily in summer, the water on the mountain will flow down the lane, so the road surface is very bad. The pits are covered with stones of all sizes. Although it is covered with snow, it is still not easy to walk.

Li Chun helped his father, brother helped his mother, and Zhang Xingming led his younger brother, and the family climbed half of the slope and arrived at the gate of the nursing home.

My dad stood there and looked around. On the left was the old house, the master's family lived in it, and on the right was the second uncle's house.

Dad looked back at his mother and said, "Come and see if I'm uncle?"

My mother said, "Go and have a look. That's not your uncle. I've been back all the time. What's going on if I don't take a look."

The father nodded and said, "Okay, go and wish my uncle a new year. The old man is in his sixties and is old."

Turn right and walk flat for more than ten meters, the gate of the nursing home was opened. Although the gatehouse was pushed down, the courtyard wall was still there. The gate was made of thick wood nails, so it was not guarded against people, but the animals were guarded against.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the yard, two dogs in the yard rushed out of the nest and stood in the gate and shouted at the family.

The dog barked a few times, and as soon as the door opened, a young man wiped his head and looked, took a look, frowned and walked over, asking, "Who are you looking for?"

The father squinted his eyes and looked at the young man for a while and said, "Are you Komatsuko?"

The young man walked and said, "Yes, who are you?" He walked to the gate of the yard, looked at his father carefully, opened his eyes, and said, "Third brother? Is it the third brother?" He reached out and raised the yard door, opened the door, kicked the dog at his feet and said, "Come in, come in, come in, come in, what did you come back before? Third brother? Third sister-in-law is back, come in, come in too, come in."

The father reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just arrived, come back and see. This guy has grown up and become a big guy. Have you gotten married?"

The master is younger than Zhang Xingming's biological uncle. He is the fifth son of the great master. He is twenty-three years younger than Zhang Xingming's grandfather, his biological elder brother. His son, Komatsu, is just in his early twenties this year.

After entering the yard, my father said to Zhang Xingming's three brothers: "Call uncle." He is the youngest among his father's cousins, one year younger than his sixth uncle.

The three brothers greeted the old uncle's New Year's greetings. The old uncle's name was Zhang Qingsong, and his nickname was Qingsong. Everyone in the fort called him relaxed.

After walking through the yard to the front of the house, the old uncle rushed forward and opened the door and let everyone enter the house, shouting: "Dad, dad, see who is coming."

"Who?" The master's voice sounded from the main room. As the voice sounded, the master poked his head out to see it. The room was a little dark. He probably didn't see clearly, and was still asking, "Who is it?"

My dad said, "Good New Year, uncle, I'm here to see you."

The master was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the house, looked closer and carefully, reached out and grabbed the father's hand and said, "Lao San, is it the third brother? It's the third brother. Why are you back? What did you arrive before?"

My father said, "It's only the New Year, come back and have a look. Are you in good health?"

The master said, "Okay, you can eat and sleep. Now your life is better and you are fine. Come, come and sit in the house. This guy, have you not come back for many years? Have you gone to that yard?"

Dad said, "No, let's see you first. You are an elder, and you are the only one left in our older generation. You have to take good care of your health, live a few more years, and live a good life in the future."

The master said: "Yes, live a good life. Now it's OK. It's good. You can eat and sleep well. You don't lack anything. How are you doing there? The factory is okay? The city has been better than the countryside in the past two years, and you have lived a better life."

After entering the house, my mother greeted the master and bowed seriously.

My father called Zhang Xingming to greet the master again. The serious ones were about to kowtow. The three of them kowtowed and kowtowed three times to greet him. He would not be loud to kowtow to the living people, but they would not really touch the ground. The old man recognized this principle. Until now, these statements have long been gone, and they can't even tell the difference between holding their fists and bowing.

After talking to the master for a while, my dad left five hundred yuan for the master. The family left the nursing home and walked to the yard directly opposite the second uncle's house.

The second uncle's courtyard gate is relatively high, unlike ordinary rural families who just block it for more than one meter. His house is like a real door, two meters high, and it is tightly weaved with branches.

There is a bell hanging on the door. The yard gate is a little far from the house. Sometimes I can't hear it. There is a grape trellis in the door, a pigpen and toilet on the left, and a vegetable field on the right.

My father reached out and shook the wooden door. The bell jingled a few times, and then he heard the door inside. He walked out alone and asked, "Who?"

My father looked at my mother and said, "Second brother, it's me, the third brother." My mother turned her head and looked around, and she could tell that she was still feeling uncomfortable.

"Lao San?" The second uncle opened the wood door from inside, looked at his father, then glared at him and said, "Oh, it's really the third brother, is this Gaha? What did you come back before? Come in, Gui Xin, come into the yard, and talk in the room."

My mother forced a smile and agreed.

Everyone entered the yard. The second uncle closed the wooden door and whispered to his mother: "Gui Xin, I know you are angry with your second sister-in-law. She is so kind. She will offend people in this life, and I can't control it. This will not work. Like my mother, I guess it will be almost the same this year. If you die, the light will go out. Don't take the past to your heart. Is it okay? In fact, she has regretted it in recent years. It's been done, and my dear buddies have not visited my house. Alas."

The second uncle is actually a very rare bronchitis in rural Northeast China. What he is afraid of is not ordinary.

My mother sighed and said, "Don't mention it in the past. If I were still angry, I would come to Gaha for the New Year? Have you been sick before? Have you gone to the hospital?"

The second uncle was happy, nodded happily, and said, "Get into the house, warm, eat here today."

Walking in for five or six meters, the yard is just out of the grape trellis, and the original old house is on the left, which is already empty there. The second uncle's house is about ten meters inside the old house, and five newly built brick and tile houses.

When I turned around the old house, my eyes lit up, and a flat large courtyard appeared in front of me.

When my grandfather was a family member, he had returned the entire land in the driveway to my grandfather. Now the second uncle inherited it, and the yard and house occupied his own land.

The house has a foundation wall and is about to go up to four steps. The second aunt is standing on the steps and looking here. From a distance, her belly is bloated and tall, as if she is about to give birth to a pregnancy.

The second uncle has four children, the eldest brother Xinghong, and he has joined the army now. The second brother Xingwei is now working at home. The third brother is named Xiaoying, and he is a girl. He is in junior high school. The fourth brother Xingjian is the same as Zhang Xingming's brother, but he is one year older than Zhang Xingming, and he is also a junior high school now.

In those days, those words were preferred to use when naming children, so there were many renames, which was normal. Zhang Xingming used military and militia at home, and the second uncle used the Red Guards at home. After the Great Revolution was criticized, it was changed to the Magnificent Soldier.

Speaking of which, after the end of the Great Revolution, countless people changed their names across the country.
