Old student 贾平凹 3166Words 2018-03-18
There are more than one hundred mine owners in the Jiguanshan mining area. Some mine owners operate one mine, and some mine owners own three, four, or even ten mines.If you are lucky, you will see mines when you dig a hole, and you will get rich all at once. Some even dig a few holes, but they are just caves. Deliberately approaching obliquely, the two sides continued to fight with weapons, almost twelve people were killed, twenty people were disabled, and forty or fifty people were arrested and brought to justice.What Lao Yu told the opera student was that he took a stake in a mine owner surnamed Yan, and he wanted to introduce the opera student to him. Since he didn't want to show his face in Danggui Village, why not go to the mine to make a fortune.

The mine owner surnamed Yan is from Qingfengyi, Shanyin County. He opened six mines on the north slope of Jiguan Mountain. All the mines are rich in mineral resources and the production is very good.After Xisheng left, Yan mine owner frowned and said: Lao Yu said you are a capable person?The actor said: I have a good brain.Yan mine owner said: How about a good one?The actor said: What you are holding is a report, I can remember it after reading it.Mine owner Yan showed the report to the opera student, and really recited all the numbers.Mine owner Yan said: You have a good mind, but I don't want you to be a secretary!Lao Yu said that your grandfather participated in the Qinling guerrillas?The opera student said: He was the guard of Commander Kuang San back then!Of course Xisheng was lying, but mine owner Yan said: Since it was introduced by Lao Yu, and the Qinling guerrillas lived in my house back then, then you should stay at the easternmost ore pile to guard the ore.The play student was a little disappointed, and muttered something in his mouth, Yan mine owner said: "You don't want to?"The opera student said: Yes, yes.The owner of the mine, Yan, said: "As a guard, you must be there 24 hours a day. You are not allowed to run around!"The playboy said, "My legs are bad, where can I go?"Yan mine owner just laughed and said: You can't run away, but you can't catch up with those who steal mines!The opera student said: You give me a mobile phone, I will call if I need anything.Yan mine owner said: I will give you another wife? !Throw it to a gong, let the opera students hit the gong if there is anything, and someone will go when the gong rings.

Xisheng arrived at the ore pile point on the easternmost side of the north slope.After guarding for three days, I feel very good, there is such an easy job in the world.He can sit in the sun all morning, or cut his toenails, and make mochi seeds while cooking. Each mochi seed should be the same size, and rub out the same pattern on the straw hat.But after three days, there was nothing to do, no one talked, and felt uncomfortable, so they sang a folk song. They used a gong to beat the beat of the folk song. When the gong rang, three people ran up from the slope, thinking they were stealing mines. It was the opera student who sang and cursed.Afterwards, the Xisheng hung the gong in the shed, and squatted there himself, hoping that a car would come up to pull the mine.Those who pulled the mine took the company's note. He checked it repeatedly, and helped to pack the ore and weighed the tonnage. He asked the driver where he was from, how old he was, and how many years he had been driving. Now, let’s ask again: Is the old man still in good health?People say: Tough.Ask again: What about the children, are they all good?People say: good.Ask again: Didn't the daughter-in-law bring it out?People thought he was out of his mind, so they put a few more pieces of ore into the weighed cart.Xi Sheng immediately became fierce and asked to unload the excess ore.Sometimes the driver unloaded it, sometimes he didn't unload it. He couldn't beat him, so he lay down in front of the wheel and said, "You run over me!"The driver finally unloaded the excess ore and said: You are so good!He said: If I want to be strong, I will beat the gong!He laughed again, and even made out with the driver again. The driver gave him a cigarette, which he took and stuck it in his ear. The driver asked: How much can the boss give you every month?He said: How much money can you mine once?The driver said: You have a good job, just sit and make money.He said: What's the matter, I haven't seen my wife for two months.The driver said: Do you still have a wife?He said: What are you talking about? !He told people that the men in their Danggui village were not tall, but no one was single, and the wives were all over 1.6 meters tall.The driver said: Oh!He was proud and said: Women live by their faces, men live by their brains!The driver said: Without women, the more intelligent you are, the harder it will be.This time, Xi Sheng's heart ached, but he said: Winter never leaves, summer never sticks, February and August don't leave every other day, now it's summer.

However, when the car came to pull the mine again, there was a woman sitting in the car. The woman was very young, with a flat nose, but a plump mouth. She was wearing red lipstick, as if she had eaten raw meat.The driver said to the woman: Serve my brother well!The woman went into the firewood shed, mouthing one brother, and the playboy was so frightened that she said: What's going on, what's going on? !The driver said: I will go to the back slope for a walk, an hour will do.Actually left.The opera student has heard that there are many prostitutes in the mining area, and sometimes he thinks, let me see what kind of woman is a prostitute, and the prostitute is in the firewood shed. The eyes did not dare to look.The prostitute actually came over, put her hand into his pants, and said: Oh, isn't this out of proportion? !The actor was confused, he didn't know why he took off his pants afterwards, whether he took off his pants or the woman. When the woman gave him a butt, he asked the woman to turn over, but the woman wanted to take it off. The clothes covered his face, and he knew that if a woman didn't want to look at him, he couldn't do it, no matter what.When the driver came back, he asked: How are you doing?The opera student didn't say that he didn't accomplish anything, and he didn't look at the driver, saying: This guy wants money, right?The driver said: Can I do business without money?The actor said: How much is it?The driver said: Three hundred.The play student felt that he was at a disadvantage, and whispered to the driver: I didn't make it....The driver said: You can't?The opera student said: I can do very well at home!The driver said: That's too nervous. If it doesn't work out, I have to give it 300 yuan!Xi Sheng breathed out, and said: Then you go out to load the car, and I will try again.

This time, Xisheng didn't care whether the driver loaded more ore. Since then, the driver brought prostitutes twice in a row, but the driver still paid for it, Xisheng felt a little embarrassed.The driver said: There is nothing to be ashamed of. From now on, I will bring you one person each time. If you collect three tons of mine notes, just give me three and a half tons.The opera student said: I knew it would be like this, we are not good.The driver said: The ore is not yours, you are stinging him, and he will give you a penny of the tens of millions of miles earned?The opera student also felt at ease, so he reached a tacit agreement with the driver. First, each time he loaded half a ton more, the driver would bring a woman. Later, he felt that he was at a disadvantage, and asked the driver to give him more money. The extra half a ton of ore was sold. Although the money is not divided into five, give him one-third.

After two months like this, every time the prostitute was sent away, Xisheng felt sorry for Qiaoqiao, and his heart became more and more guilty, so he asked Yan mine owner for leave and went back to Danggui village once. On the evening when Xisheng returned to the village, the lights on other people’s houses were turned on, but the electric light at the gate of his courtyard was turned off. When he asked Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao said that the light bulb was broken and hadn’t been replaced yet. Go to the commissary and buy light bulbs.As soon as Qiaoqiao left, he was still looking at the sign of the revolutionary martyrs on the door frame. Several people in the village went to the new village head's house to drink, and they were unhappy for a while, so they stopped standing at the door and sat in the courtyard. On the cloth stone, he also said: Why didn't you replace it in time if it was broken? You made me lose my light? !After a while, it was Qiaoqiao who came back. Qiaoqiao hurriedly walked at the gate of the courtyard, chasing someone's dog while walking, and then heard Lao Yu saying: "Dress beautifully, go drink!"Qiaoqiao said: The opera student is back.Lao Yu said: Why did he come back?Qiaoqiao said: Come back and get some clothes for a change.Lao Yu said: Oh, let him drink it too.Qiaoqiao said: He, let’s not go.Lao Yu said: He will not go either.How about this, you don't go either, I'll come and see him tomorrow.Xisheng didn't go out, but was still sitting on the Chubu stone. When Qiaoqiao came into the yard, he said, "Can you drink now?"Qiaoqiao said: Everyone is going, it’s not good if I don’t go.Xi Sheng didn't say anything, just reinstalled the light bulb, closed the door and went to sleep.She had already got on the kang first, but Qiaoqiao asked Xisheng to take off her clothes, throw them all on the ground, and said that she would wash them in boiling water tomorrow so as not to bring the lice back.Xisheng took off his clothes, Qiaoqiao scalded it with boiling water in a basin, and asked Xisheng to wash his feet. How could he go into bed when his feet were so dirty?Xisheng washed his feet and the things, but Qiaoqiao soaked the bran for the pigs to eat the next day, and then went to close the door of the chicken coop, and went to see if the rice noodle pot was covered.The opera student said: You can really delay time!Qiaoqiao said: I am so anxious to death!After staying for a few days, Xisheng went to water the field once, went to fertilize for a while, repaired the collapsed pigsty, then helped Qiaoqiao cook at home, washed the sheets, dried the sheets and pulled them by himself. One end is dragged in the yard towards the exhibition.Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "Why are you laughing? I'm not as strong as you?"Qiaoqiao said: I ran into Aunt Lan just now, and she said that you are a different person when you come back.The playboy said: Did she say I have become bad or better?Qiaoqiao said: I can love my wife!The playboy said: You didn't tell her that I earn 300 yuan a day outside!Qiaoqiao said: Where is the money?I can't brag!The opera student asked Qiaoqiao to speak more quietly, and asked Qiaoqiao to set up a wine place in the evening, inviting the villagers to come and have fun, calling everyone who could come.

Xisheng's family had been setting up wine venues for three nights in a row. On the day they were about to go to the mining area, they heard that Lao Yu's father was coming, so Xisheng didn't leave. Come and take him directly to his house.The new village chief originally wanted old Yu's father to come to his house for dinner, but he came a step late, and the playboy didn't call him.During that meal, Xi Sheng was drunk again, talking too much for others to get in, Qiaoqiao said: You drink too much, talk less.The actor said: Am I drunk? Did I say something wrong when I was drunk?Uncle Director, others call you Director, I call you Uncle, you used to say that Danggui Village has good mountains, good water, good air, and lived here after retirement. Welcome to Angelica Village!You live here, we serve you, you guide us, Danggui Village depends on you to take off again, Uncle!Qiaoqiao, did I say something wrong?I'm drunk?Why don't you get wine? I won't get drunk after another bottle.I'll toast my uncle again!This meal lasted until midnight, Xisheng was really drunk, and so was Lao Yu's father, Lao Yu held Xisheng's hand, shook it vigorously, and said: "Xisheng is good, Xisheng is good, I Just love this guy!Shaking and shaking, both of them vomited.
