Chapter 4 Section 04

Lao Zha will send pancakes to Mr. Bao Wu.This stubborn old man is strange, he doesn't want anyone to give him food, it seems that once he eats other people's food, he will really become extinct.But when he scooped up the slag and sent it to him, he was embarrassed.Looking at that small face, I feel sorry if I don't accept it. The slag club is a croak, and seeing Bao Wuye panicking alone, he knows how to ask him some questions to relieve his boredom. "Have you eaten yet?" He asked Mr. Bao Wu. "Have eaten, where are you?" Fifth Master Bao answered him. "have eaten."

"What kind of food did you eat?" Fifth Master Bao asked him. "Noodles to eat." "Not bad." "What do you eat?" He asked Mr. Bao Wu. "Pancakes, porridge, stinky beans." Mr. Bao Wu replied word by word, without ambiguity. "Cricket." He showed it to Mr. Bao Wu. "It's a cricket." Fifth Master nodded. "It's a man, it's a woman." The fifth master smiled: "This ghost. Why do crickets talk about men and women, but say male and female." "Is it male or female?" Fifth Master was silent for a while, and then sighed: "If you want to talk about it, it's not wrong to say that men and women have different personalities."

"Put it away!" Lao Zha suddenly raised his head and said. "Just let it go." Fifth Master said. The old and the young watched the cricket jump up and down and disappeared. Laozha and the second son of Bao Renyuan's family said "the veteran".Bao Wuye helped to scrape out the slag and stroke the leaves of poplar trees, and stroked a large shoe shell and a small shoe shell.Bao Wuye covered one shoe, covered the other shoe with scum, and covered it for two days.The stalks of poplar leaves that have been covered are so shiny black that they are tougher than hemp.The stems of the poplar leaves of Bao Renyuan's second boy were so tender that they couldn't be pulled out to remove the scum.Fight one, break one, fight one, break one.Impatient, the more anxious the more broken.Lao Zha exchanged his own to the second boy.Then, the second boy turned the tables, fighting one, winning one, fighting one, winning one.It was a miserable loss for the slag, but he was not in a hurry, and he was still happy.Fifth Master Bao watched for a while, and when the second boy left, he asked Lao Zha:

"Scumbag, why did you replace all your veteran generals with the second boy?" "I think he's going to cry." Lao Zha said. "Isn't it hard for you to lose?" "Uncomfortable." "Then you give it back to him?" "I think he's going to cry." Lao Zha said again. Fifth Master Bao stopped asking, looked at Laozha, stroked his sparse yellow hair, and sighed.After a pause, he said to himself: "You should let him, too. You are his uncle." sixteen Auntie can hear a peddler's drum beating: Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.

seventeen Every day when Bao Renwen finished work, he would walk two steps to Zhuangdong Road to see if there was a messenger coming.The day before yesterday, there were two letters. One was from Bao Yanhai's family who sent up the Jinhua army; brought.Yesterday, I received a messenger again, but there was no letter. The messenger was just passing by here, going to Daliu Village. Today he was walking on the main road again, and heard something ringing in the distance: Ding dong, ding dong, like a peddler's drum, and gradually he saw a person walking, carrying a peddler's pick, slowly The ground is near.

Behind him is the sun, red and parked at the end of the road. As he walks on the road, the peddler's drum is ringing. "Brother, have you seen someone riding a bicycle coming this way?" Bao Renwen asked loudly. "No." The seller replied.He came closer, with a clean-shaven scalp, a swarthy face, broad shoulders and big shoulders, but the beard on his lips was not yet hardened, and he was lying softly on his stomach. "Brother, what's the name of Zhuangzi in front?" he asked. "Little Baozhuang." Bao Renwen answered him, turning around slowly and walking back.

"Oh, this is Little Baozhuang." The young man said, walking shoulder to shoulder with Bao Renwen, the shopkeeper's drums ding-dong ding-dong. "Why, do you know Little Baozhuang?" Bao Renwen looked at him. "Why don't you know? Xiaobao Village has a great reputation. We all know that the village is very popular and benevolent." The young man said. "Oh." Bao Renwen didn't ask any more. The young man looked around, and a few daughters-in-law had already heard the sound of the shopkeeper's drum and poked their heads out. "Big brother, stop for a while and let me pick a thimble." Someone shouted.

Looking back, I saw a woman in her forties walking down from the stage.She has yellow and white skin, her hair is casually nestled behind her head, and a few strands of hair are scattered around her ears.The gown he was wearing was torn to pieces, as if a piece of cloth had been draped front and back, flickering and fluttering, his sturdy body appearing and disappearing from time to time.She walked up to the shopkeeper Tiaozi, lowered her head, and picked out thimbles in the box, with round wrists.The drooping eyelids are covered with thick and long eye hair, which is a hairy eye. "It's time for work? Da Wenzi." She greeted Bao Renwen.

"Buying needles? Second Aunt." He greeted Bao Yanchuan's family. A few more daughters-in-law came to buy needles and thread.For Bao Yanchuan's family, there is no end to picking a thimble. "His second aunt, no matter how hard you pick, you can't pick out gold and silver." Bao Yanshan's family said her. "Even if I want to buy a needle, I want to choose a satisfactory one." She replied, picking patiently. "Big brother, where did you come from?" Bao Yanshan's family asked him. "From the other side of the mountain." "Are there any parents at home?"

"It's gone." The young man said angrily. "Have any siblings?" "No." "Ah, he is a poor child." Bao Yanshan's family raised their heads to look at him, saw that he had a wide nose and big eyes, he was kind-hearted, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him. Bao Yanchuan's family is trying on a thimble, like trying on a ring.Now turn around and ask: "What's your name?" "Pick it up," he said.He found that the woman's voice was pleasant, low and thick, and it sounded like a lukewarm river flowing through his heart.

She finally picked it out, and handed a two-cent coin to the salesman, which was warm and a little damp. A group of daughters-in-law and sisters surrounded him, and they all looked up at him, making him sweat on his back and feeling very uncomfortable. "Hey!" The girls sighed sympathetically. Picking up the forehead began to sweat, although it is awkward, but the heart is warm.Since he walked out of Fengjing, he smiled for the first time. The hands of those daughters-in-law and sisters were tossing in his box, he was not angry at all, he squatted down, and pulled out the cigarette pouch.There was no cigarette in the cigarette purse.Suddenly, with a "pop", something soft fell into his hand, a cigarette pouch.Looking up, the second aunt who bought a thimble was looking at him, said, "Suck it!", turned and left.A tattered gown was hanging on his body, he fluttered up the stage, and flashed through a door. That night, Shilai stayed in the cowshed and shared the bed with Bao Bingyi, who was singing ancient songs.In the evening, as usual, the cowshed was crowded with people to listen to him sing: "Write a seven-character and turn your legs up, Master Guan almost lifts the Yanyue knife. I asked the master where to go, and arrested Cao Cao on the Bawang Bridge. Write a horoscope on both sides, and the Eight Immortals will come across the sea. Lan Caihe tore off the yin array, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas was in trouble again. ..." eighteen Bao Yanshan's family was very puzzled: Xiao Cui didn't keep watching her every day, why did she suddenly grow taller.That body no longer slid straight to the bottom like a bamboo pole, but at some point became round and firm, with a full chest, bulging calves, and a rounded chin.The eighteenth female college student has changed, becoming handsome and graceful. How many people said to her: "It's time to consummate the child's house." She discussed with the man: "It's time to consummate the house for the child." Jianshezi is already twenty-four, and it's time to consummate the house. Xiao Cuizi felt something was wrong.Her mother treated her much more kindly. She missed a bowl that day and didn't say anything to her. She just told her to clean up the scum in the bowl, so that the slag wouldn't hurt her feet, and it was over.Wenhuazi stayed away from him again, and stopped gossiping with her.Jianshezi cleaned up the back room day and night, putting soil on the floor and plastering the walls.And those sisters-in-law and aunts in the village were all winking at her, very scheming. Xiao Cuizi dragged the dregs out of the house, took him to the edge of the well, and asked him: "Scrap, how will Sister Cui treat you well?" "Better than my own sister." Lao Zha said. "Then why did you lie to Sister Cui?" "I didn't lie." "You lied." Xiao Cui provoked him. "I didn't lie, I really didn't lie!" I was in a hurry. "Okay, don't lie to me, then tell me, what have my mother and I discussed these past few days? Is there anything going on at home?" "My elder brother is going to marry a wife." Lao Zha said. Xiao Cuizi only felt his head "boom", as if it exploded.She collected herself and praised Lao Zha: "You are a good boy if you tell the truth, you go home." "Where are you going? Sister Cui." Lao Zha asked. "I'll stand for a while." She said, and changed her words again, "I'll go to my second aunt's house to borrow some shoes." He scooped up the dregs and left, not far away, standing in the shadow of a tree and looking at Xiaocui, he is a caring child. After a while, Xiaocui turned around and walked towards the east slowly, getting faster and faster, and she couldn't catch up with the scum. She ran to the big willow tree at Zhuangdong's head, and fell down under the tree, hugging the tree and crying loudly, shouting while crying: "I'm only sixteen, I'm only sixteen!" The cries almost attracted everyone in the village, Lao Zha had already run to report the letter, Bao Yanshan came with his family, and wanted to drag Xiaocui home.Xiaocui hugged the willow trunk tightly and did not let go, howling: "I'm only sixteen, I'm only sixteen!" The people around couldn't help but shed tears, especially the young daughters-in-law who had just passed the door, they were so touched by the scene that they burst into tears. Bao Yanshan's family persuaded Xiaocui with tears in their eyes: "My mother and I have lived together for so many years, what is there to say that makes you so sad?" Xiaocui bumped her head against the tree, crying, "I'm only sixteen years old, I'm only sixteen years old!" "Mum, I won't hide it from you. Mother is thinking of consummating the house for you. Jianshezi will be twenty-five for Chinese New Year..." Bao Yanshan's family cried harder than Xiaocui, sad and could not help but feel aggrieved. Tears flowed all over his face like a stream. "I'm only sixteen, I'm only sixteen!" Xiao Cui howled tiredly, sobbing. "Although Jianjianzi was born stupid, he has good intentions, girl. If you live with him, you won't lose." "I'm only sixteen..." "You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you are the one to take over the family. Girl, don't you think about your mother's heart?" Xiaocui just shook her head, unable to utter a word, but her hands were tightly hugging the tree trunk, and she couldn't pull it away.It was not until Bao Yanshan announced in front of everyone that the consummation of the house would be postponed for another two years that she let go of the willow trunk. Things are over.Xiao Cuizi's chin shaves off again, but the rounded part of her body doesn't calm down anymore.The expression in her eyes became more and more serious, and even the smile disappeared.Her mother picked her up again, but Wenhuazi flattered her a little, and came to snatch her broom when she saw her sweeping the floor.As for her, she had a grudge against Wenhuazi, threw the broom on the ground with a "slap", turned around and left. Finally one day, Wenkaku stopped her on the edge of the well: "Xiao Cui, what's wrong with you, what happened to me?" "You didn't do anything to me?" "Then what are you vomiting?" "Ugh, you don't care about me." Xiao Cui smiled mischievously, and picked up the pole to leave. Wenhuazi held the pole to prevent her from getting up: "Speak clearly." "My words could not be more clear." "Why can't I understand?" "You don't have ears, you don't have hearts." "Why are you swearing at people!" "I'll just scold you, you have no heart, no liver, no lungs, no guts!" She vigorously picked up the bucket. Wenhuazi was caught off guard and fell on all fours, annoyed. But Xiao Cuizi laughed, "giggle giggling", the crisp laughter startled the birds on the tree.For the first time since then, she laughed. It's not easy for Wenhuazi to be annoyed anymore. nineteen Waking up early, Bao Bingde's family suddenly said coldly: "It's hard for you too." Bao Bingde's heart felt hot, his nose felt sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears. His family members were also in tears: "I've dragged you for half my life, and it's time to end." When Bao Bingde heard that the words were unlucky, he quickly stopped her: "It's not the end of the day, a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of kindness, we have stayed together for the rest of our lives." Without saying a word, she wiped away her tears and got up to feed the pigs.The pig food was burnt thick and stirred evenly.Bao Bingde hadn't seen her so agile for a long time.Her hair was combed flat, and her hair was tucked into the back of her head. Haichanglan's gown was very nice.Bao Bingde couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.He remembered when she was a girl: he went on a blind date with two packages of fruit, and as soon as he got on the stage, he saw a little sister sitting at the door nadi.She looked at him, and he looked at her.Her face is like a full moon, with a row of teeth on her forehead covering her eyebrows. She has thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, and her eyes are slightly raised.He stared blankly, she suddenly blushed, stood up and went into the side room, only to see a big thick braid sweeping past his face.He remembered the day when she became a bride: her big braids were nestled into a huge braid, her head was thrown back like a hill, a section of red-headed rope was buried in her jet-black hair, she had a big red coat, and her face was like a peach blossom.She sat there upright, no matter how anyone made trouble, she just didn't say a word, didn't laugh, and didn't get annoyed.Bao Bingde only hoped that the roommate would leave quickly, leave quickly... He thought about the time when she just had a relationship: she wanted to eat sour, and he ran to the other side of the mountain to find Xingzi.Every night, he would lie on her stomach to listen to the movement, he could hear it clearly, and there was a heartbeat, thumping.He remembered that he had a dream: she gave birth, and laid a big egg, and looked carefully, it was not an egg, but a big sweet potato.Later, a dead child was born.He beat her, beat her behind closed doors.She didn't groan, and let him punch and kick her, and she didn't cry or scream.Even after being beaten up, she didn't get angry with him, as usual, she would do whatever he wanted.He beat him up, felt distressed and regretted it, but when he was in a hurry, he forgot everything, and outsiders couldn't see it at all.Gradually, her round face became longer and the redness faded.Then one day, when Bao Bingde came home from work, he saw that the ground had not been swept, the pot had not been burned, and there were broken bowls and scum all over the place.Just about to get angry, he saw his family sitting on a small stool and playing with his own hair. While pulling out, he was laughing at him... "Go to work!" She woke him up.Only then did he hear the gong beating: Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, he wiped his eyes, stood up and left. On the flat ground in the lake, Second Master Bao walked next to him.He told Bao Erye: "Her illness is cured! Woke up this morning and talked in a clear and calm manner!" "What did she say?" Second Master Bao asked. Bao Bingde said all those words exactly.Unexpectedly, Second Master Bao changed his face and slapped the ground with the shovel: "No! Bingde." "What's wrong?" Bao Bingde's scalp went numb, and his heart skipped a beat.Waking up early this morning, he had a faint feeling in his heart that something was wrong.Just can't tell. "I said Lao Qi, you'd better go back and guard her." Second Master Bao said. "She's very cool this morning, even cooler than usual." He said, his heart beating wildly "thumping". "It's just that Qingling is wrong, she is not afraid if she is confused." Second Master Bao stomped his feet. Everyone gathered around, urging Bao Bingde to go home and guard her.Cold sweat broke out on Bao Bingde's forehead, he picked up the shovel and left. He quickly ran towards the village with big strides.The flattened land is a large area, a large area, with no edge in sight.There is a clump of green trees far away, which is Xiaobaozhuang.He ran so fast that he couldn't get close even after running for a long time.There was silence all around, and there was faint laughter.The sun was high, and it burned my back.It seems that there are birds chirping.The wind came close to the ground and filled the trouser legs. He ran into Zhuangzi, where it was quiet and no one could be seen.It seemed that a child was walking through the poplar grove carrying water, and after a closer look, it was gone again.He was out of breath from running, and slowed down a little, thinking: nothing will happen.This Zhuangzi seemed to be asleep, so what could happen?A dog ran over with a growl in its throat, and a few chickens walked leisurely, pecking at the soil.The sun shines brightly. He let out a breath, a little bit of a joke at himself for being suspicious.It wasn't worth running back to the lake now.He picked up the shovel and slowly stepped onto the stage. There was smoke coming out of a chimney, not his. The door of his house was bolted.He pushed, but couldn't move.It was carried inside.He knocked on the door and said "Hey—" He called her "hey" and she called him "hey".You can't call him "his father" or "his mother" like others do.No children, not even a shout. She said nothing. He called again: "Hey——" Still no response. In a hurry, he slammed on the door, kicked it up and down a few times, and knocked off the shovel head.A group of children and old women were recruited to knock on the door and call together.The door was forced open.After entering the door, Bao Bingde sat down on the ground with a plop, only seeing a Haichang blue gown dangling in front of his eyes, and a kicked bench on the ground.His family, hanging on the beam. Everyone rushed to put her down and put her flat on the ground.She was still angry, and she didn't strangle in the right place.Bao Bingde stepped forward and hugged her and burst into tears, the room was filled with sighs. The slag has already gone to the lake to call for help.After a while, a lot of people hula la came.Bao Renwen dragged Bao Bingde away and performed artificial respiration as soon as he came up, which he had learned in middle school physiology and hygiene class that year.The captain greeted people, fixed the cot, lifted people up and left. "Money!" Bao Bingde cried out in despair, "I don't have half a coin in my pocket!" "I'll give you everything in the team." The captain yelled back at him. "Everyone is here for you." Everyone shouted at him.Then he staggered and ran away. Two days later, Bao Bingde used a flatbed truck to push his family back.His family sits on a flat car, eating a green peach, like a three-year-old baby.It's like I don't remember anything, as if nothing ever happened.
