The nostalgia in the "cuckoo"

Drizzling in the distant mountains

"cuckoo, coo..." At this time, you actually heard the turtledove (commonly known as "Auntie, etc."). This call brought my thoughts back to my childhood a long time ago, reminding me of my uncle who had left me.

At that time, when I was about to harvest wheat every year, I could always hear the "cuckoo waiting" sound, and the one who made me notice this sound was my uncle who was still in school at that time. In my impression, my uncle has a bad temper and doesn’t have many times when he is happy. Grandma is sick. When she is sick, my aunt always stays with him at home, and my grandfather will come home from work from time to time to time to check. My mother was my uncle's second sister and married far away. At that time, the only means of transportation was bicycle. My father was always very busy and rarely went home, so my mother didn't have time to go back to her parents' home often. I only remember that my aunt and uncle were young at that time, and there was another grandmother who could not take care of herself because she was sick. My aunt and uncle had a hard time, but I still liked to go to my grandmother's house: because my aunt always made a lot of delicious food in different ways and took me to do a lot of fun things; my uncle always told a lot of interesting things and could also use a few punches and kicks.

Once, when the sound of "gugu wait" sounded, my uncle naturally told me the story of "aunt wait": In ancient times, there were two aunts and nephews who practiced Taoism in the same mountain, and agreed to ascend to heaven when the rooster cried. The strange aunt said to her niece when she was sleeping that night: "Sleep at ease, and we ascend to heaven together when the rooster cried." In the middle of the night, the aunt ascended to heaven alone without telling her niece. When she was about to ascend to , Nantianmen , she learned to scream three times. The niece woke up and found that her aunt had ascended to heaven. She tucked her legs and slapped her while shouting: "Aunt, wait! Auntie, wait!..." The niece never caught up with her aunt and turned into a bird.

would rather be a fish in the pond than envy the immortals in the sky. Maybe my aunt has a hard-to-speaking desire to escape quietly, but she can't bear to let her young niece leave the prosperity of the world and go to the lonely and bitter cold state. And my niece was reluctant to part with her aunt, and she kept thinking about it and followed her to death. This deep mark of her family affection was in my heart. It tastes better than pork, and it is better than my aunt and uncle. The most reasonable! My uncle said over and over again, and I listened over and over again, and it was very interesting.

my uncle finally started working after graduating from junior high school. Later, he started a family and started selling vegetables. My aunt's character is gentle and well-managed, and my uncle's family built a beautiful small building within a few years. My cousin and my cousin were born one after another, becoming a happy family of four. The smile on my uncle's face became more and more brighter.

However, there are unexpected situations in the sky, and people will have good fortune and good fortune at any time. Just as my uncle's family was getting more and more prosperous, my uncle had a physical problem. One year when he came to visit my relatives during the Spring Festival, he accidentally mentioned that he was always dizzy and asked him to go to the hospital. He said he was spending money randomly and there were too many places at home to spend money, so he would be fine if he had a good rest for a while. Who would have known that that time was the last time I met my uncle. That year, my uncle had an emergency on a very ordinary night and immediately sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment without having time... At that time, my cousin was in his third year of high school and my cousin was just in kindergarten. My uncle was working hard to save the cost of college for my cousin, and planned to buy a storefront to make the vegetable sales business bigger. However, everything happened so unexpectedly, and the uncle, who once brought so much warmth and happiness to his relatives, left quietly.

I learned the bad news of my uncle's death on the phone. I burst into tears, but because I was too far away from home, I was unable to send my uncle for the last journey. This became a regret that I could not make up for for a long time: I had not brought my uncle to workplace, had not taken my uncle to a big meal, and had not yet thanked me for my care for me since I was a child, so he left quietly.Who would have thought that he could leave at such an age? Later, when I went home on vacation, I didn’t dare to go to my uncle’s house. It was just a escape, but I couldn’t bear it. I couldn’t imagine seeing a photo of him before his death turned into a portrait and placed on the altar!

In my opinion, my uncle suffered a lot in his short life: when he was young, his grandmother was sick and failed to take good care of him; when he was young, his grandmother passed away and failed to accompany him; when he became an adult, he relied on selling vegetables to make a living in the family, and he had to rest all year round, and he couldn't take good care of himself... Maybe, when my cousin graduated from college, my uncle would have a breath. However, time froze on the night he left, and he rested in peace forever.

"Auntie, wait" the slightly desolate voice came to your ears again. I looked up at the sky, uncle, if there is another world, I hope you can live a comfortable and comfortable life.
