This year, a miracle was discovered in the cemetery. Ever since I can clearly remember that year, whenever I came to the cemetery with my father, mother, eldest sister, and second sister, an old couple who lived in the nearby yard always greeted us at the door.It seems that the two of them are older than grandpa and grandma, but they are very kind, always smiling and not annoying at all, and they are not dirty like other country people.The old man loves to hug me to watch cattle and sheep, and teases me all the way, teaching me to recognize the names of trees and wild flowers. I think there is nothing unclean about him except for the stench of leaf smoke.The old woman is also clean and tidy, and the elder sister has never disliked anything she brought, and she is willing to sit and talk in her yard, which is better than treating the eldest aunt.

This year is weird!When our sedan chair arrived at the gate, it was not the old couple from previous years that greeted us at the gate, but a wild doll—at that time, any child who did not often play with us was given a special name as usual: wild doll. —with a tall, thin, well-groomed young woman.That woman, with thick powder on her cheeks, smiled and narrowed her eyes, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth, and said with a high smile, "Madam and Master are here first! I saw clearly that it was you from a long distance. Mom still said no." Mile." Mother didn't seem to recognize her well when she first came here, so she said loudly: "Ah, it's you, Sister Deng Xuan, I try not to recognize you."

When the mother gets off the sedan chair, it's the same as returning to her grandmother's house. She doesn't care about dismissing the bearer or the things in the sedan chair, she turns around and walks towards the woman.She originally followed the sedan chair into the courtyard dam, but with small feet, she couldn't win over the bearer. Mom pulled her sleeves and patted her chest back, saying: "I heard that you are all right, Sister Quxuan!... You really have changed, better than before!..." "Madam, don't make fun of me. It's good, but the food is still enough. The wife is even more blessed. The young master has grown taller. Do you still recognize me?"

I seem to have seen her before, but I can't remember it, and I don't need to reminisce; it is the wild doll that interests me most at the moment. It was a boy who seemed a little older than me.The eye sockets are very small, and the upper and lower eyelids seem to be swollen or fat.The eyeballs are only a little bit visible, and they don't look like other children's eyeballs.Others are very active, do not speak, and often turn around.People often say that cousin Qian's family is born with a pair of dumb eyes, but in fact, this wild baby's eyes are really dumb!Every time he looked at something, he was always in a daze. For a long time, he didn't see his eyes rolling.He also has thick eyebrows.His face was yellow and scorched, and at first glance it seemed that he hadn't washed it off.A big mouth, with two corners hanging upside down, seems to be crying at any time.
