Summer was the most beautiful and comfortable time. It was when they went to the green, yellow, and orange rape fields to catch insects and grasshoppers. They were in groups of two and came to the end of the field. They crouched down and entered. The rape flowers were as tall as a person. To Jia Kun and the others, it was really a big deal. When they saw these little creatures, they would crawl forward. When the time was right, they would swoop down. Sometimes, they would be lucky enough to catch them, and when they were unlucky, they would do a backflip. The grasshoppers did not catch anything, and they even made themselves look very embarrassed. Once he didn't feel ashamed and found it funny, he went to look for his target until he caught it. If they caught a grasshopper, they would carefully bring it home and put it in the cage under the eaves. If they caught a worm or grasshopper, they would play with it for a while, then pick up some dry firewood from the side and light it up to roast it.
Then there was the digging of wild vegetables, because every household raised chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. Therefore, in the summer, they began to dig wild vegetables for them to eat. At that time, they were all in groups. They rarely played solo because they didn't know what would happen in the wild. There were also some wolves going in and out. Therefore, she couldn't go out to dig wild vegetables alone. Especially when the crops were dense, one did not dare to walk in alone, afraid of losing their way and getting lost, so they went together. After a day or afternoon, there would definitely be a lot of harvest. A full basket or bag would be returned home happily.
Actually, digging wild vegetables was not an easy task. If they encountered thick ones, it would be especially interesting to dig them up. However, if they encountered few, they would not even have the energy to dig. Sometimes, they would have to walk very far before they could dig them up. But sometimes, they could really encounter danger. Jia Kun's mother said,"
" One year, when she went to dig for wild vegetables, she encountered the most dangerous thing. When she lowered her head to dig for wild vegetables, she didn't expect to dig into a circle of graves. There were many wild vegetables there. Just as she was digging with all her might, a wolf was sleeping in a grave pit. She was digging in front of its pit. It was sleeping soundly and didn't see Jia Kun's mother. When Jia Kun's mother saw it, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She slowly retreated and hurriedly ran away. When she got home and told her father about this, her father brought a group of people with scythes and scythes to the wolf and beat it to death.”So, no matter what he did outside? They had to be careful. There would be danger at all times.
During the hottest summer, the temperature reached 30 degrees Celsius, which was unbearable for people. At this time, every household had their windows up and the bottom was taken off. This was cool and refreshing. Jia Kun's mother was already used to sitting on the windowsill and doing needlework. Especially the way she did it, Jia Kun could not forget it even now. His mother was putting the soles of the shoes in her shoes. Sometimes, she would habitually pull the needle on her hair, and then use the awl to pierce the soles of the shoes. Then, she would thread the needle and thread through them. That action was really beautiful. It was as if his mother was still sitting in front of him, putting the soles of the shoes in the window. As his mother worked, she looked at the children. They surrounded his mother, reading while doing their homework on the brick bed. Sometimes, when they were thirsty and couldn't stand the heat, they would run to the garden and pick a few cucumbers under the cucumber rack. They would eat them with crunching sounds. Sometimes, when they were hungry, they would go to the outer room and pick up a rice dumpling. They would eat it with onions. At that time, they ate very happily. Their mother watched them eat while she worked. Sometimes, she would call out with concern,
"Eat slowly. Don't choke."
What he couldn't forget the most was lying in his mother's arms and his mother picking lice for them. At that time, it was rare for the villagers to take a bath like now. Jia Kun remembered that he rarely took a bath, or it could be said that he had never taken a bath before, so his whole body was covered with lice and fleas. Sometimes, when she took off her clothes and pants to sleep, her mother would grab and squeeze them one by one. However, the lice on her head had to be caught by her mother, sister, and brother. He felt especially warm and comfortable when his mother helped him catch lice. The sound of his mother squeezing the lice was so clear and happy, as sweet as pouring honey into his brain. Now that she thought about it, she was quite happy and intoxicated.
Perhaps all of this was just a fragment. The most beautiful part was still her mother's loving heart.
It was a long story. If it wasn't for his mother's care and love for him, if it wasn't for his mother's persistence and encouragement, Jia Kun would have collapsed long ago, let alone have a future.
He still remembered that it was a rainy day. His father had asked him to go to the corn seed field to pull out the corn. Because the seed corn needed to be pollinated, he had to pull it out. He was still short. Sometimes, when he could not reach the corn, he had to raise his feet or jump up to pluck it. At that time, he cried as he plucked the corn. In addition, the rain continued to fall, patting his bitter face. He could not refuse, could not refuse, nor could he say the reason. He could only do as he was told and work hard. At that time, there were fifteen acres of corn that he plucked alone in the heavy rain. He hated his own fate and hated the injustice of the heavens. But what could he do? Being young was not a reason. As long as he could work, that was his father's philosophy at the moment.
Now that she thought about those unhappy things, she felt really sad. Compared to his mother and father, his love for him was like heaven and earth.
It wasn't that Jia Kun's father didn't love him, it was that era that made his father like that. In the past, his father was strict, but he wasn't like this. Things would change, and what his father would be like in the future was still a question mark.
Summer was the happiest time, especially for children like Jia Kun. In front of his house, there was a big river. The river was surrounded by green grass and fields. Especially in this season, the grass on the riverbank was lush. It looked beautiful from afar. Especially the water there, clear and clear, like a jade green mirror, like the water grass roaming under the water, so beautiful, so dynamic. At this time, those who released geese, ducks, and children all gathered here. After releasing the geese and ducks into the grass, they ran here happily. They took off their clothes and jumped into the river like a lively carp. They swam in the river to their heart's content. At this time, the water was really lively. There were dog paddles, backstrokes, and even flopping around. It was really the same and very lively. Some of them were tired from swimming in the river and sprawled on the grass by the river bank, bathing in the baptism of the sun. It was so warm and comfortable. That kind of beauty was really indescribable. After showering, she put on her clothes and went to see if the geese and ducks had eaten their fill. Then, she rushed back happily, feeling so relaxed and comfortable.
