with lights 贾平凹 10700Words 2018-03-19
I went to Mao Lin's house with a lamp, and I was worried whether there was any fertilizer applied to the corn in Mao Lin's house, and whether there was soil on the roots of the corn.Fortunately, Mao Lin's daughter-in-law and daughter are diligent, and they hired Yang Ermao to take care of the crops in the field.With a pale face, Mao Lin knelt down on the ground to pull weeds, and beckoned Ermao to bring the water jug ​​for Dai Lan to drink.Ermao was hoeing the ground on the ground, and there was an old radio on the edge of the ground, turned on a loud volume, and it was playing a Qin opera opera. Hearing the shouts, he came running, squinting his eyes and laughing with the lights on.Bring a lamp and say: I still listen to the show, I will enjoy it!The second cat said: Listen, aren't you tired from working?He is shirtless.Red marks were drawn on the arms by corn leaves, and they were sweating profusely.Bring a light and say: Does it hurt?The second cat said: "It's okay to hurt, it's burning hot."Bring a lamp and say: Why are you here again?The second cat said: I only have that little land in the mountains, and I finished it in two strokes. If I have nothing to do, I will walk around the town. Mao Lin asked him to help him, so I did.Added another sentence: The queen is also busy with his field work, nothing unusual.I don't expect him to monitor the queen with the lamp, because after the queen's incitement and plaster petition, the second cat didn't know anything about it, and even Mao Lin didn't know.Bring a lamp and say: How much does he give you a day?The second cat said: No money.Bring a lamp and say: Can you work without money?Ermao said: I have a big appetite, so I won’t lose money if I eat two more buns per meal.Whispered with a lamp: No way, are you fancying someone else's daughter?The second cat blushed and peeked at Mao Lin's daughter. Unexpectedly, Mao Lin's daughter raised her head and looked this way. The second cat immediately turned her face away and said, "It's so hot in the sky, you drink water!"

Bringing the lamp did not help Mao Lin with work. When I saw Ermao, I thought of the thirteen women in Dongchagou Village. I wonder if their illnesses improved after taking the medicine.Then I turned around and went to Guangrentang to see Dr. Chen, thinking about what Chinese medicine I would bring when I went to Dongchagou Village again. Walking westward for a mile from Mao Lin's field with a lamp, at the turn of the river bank, I saw Dr. Chen, who was helping Zhang Plaster's daughter-in-law to hoe the field.However, Dr. Chen obviously saw her, but he pulled down his straw hat and headed towards the bend with the hoe.Bring a lamp and ask Zhang Plaster's daughter-in-law: Have you asked Dr. Chen to hoe the ground?Zhang Plaster's daughter-in-law said: He is willing to help others.Bring the lamp and say: If he is really willing to help you, he should let you go to Guangrentang as his hand.Zhang Plaster's daughter-in-law said: "That's impossible. It's not easy for others to earn money. I'll share their money?"I gave Daideng a small handful of coriander, which she planted in the grain shop. If the coriander was not chopped, the smell was so strong that it choked the nose.Put away the coriander with a lamp, and shouted loudly: Doctor Chen!Dr. Chen was always deaf and didn't respond and didn't come over.He smiled with a lamp and returned to the town government.

Zhuzi saw that he brought back coriander with the lamp, and said happily: How do you know that I suddenly want to eat coriander today? !Bring a lamp and say: send it to the leader.Bamboo said: Have you learned to curry favor?Bring a lamp and say: Do you have to fawn or fawn?I took the coriander and went to the secretary's office, and the mayor was there. The secretary said: Oh, did you bring me coriander with a lamp? !The mayor said: You are stingy, bring a lamp, if you want to get a picture for the secretary, take~a handful of coriander!The secretary said: This is good, the courtesy is light and the person is important, not to mention that this is a gift with a lamp!He said with a lamp: I didn't give it to me, but the thirteen women in Dongchagou Village gave it to me, and asked me to give the secretary fried buns to eat.The secretary said: How good it is to have the masses care about it.Dai Deng said: They told me whether the diagnosis of pulmonary silicosis has been settled, and I said there is no rush, and it will be resolved.The secretary said: That matter has not been resolved yet?The mayor said: I greeted the relevant departments, and they all agreed verbally, but there was no result. Things have been hectic these days, so I didn't press for further inquiries.With a lamp, he said: No matter how long it takes to get results, Wang Housheng went to fan the flames again. I am worried that they will petition collectively.The secretary said: Collective petitions must be prevented, especially during inspections of party building work.He said to the mayor: The infrastructure of the big factory is finally in order, and you have to catch this matter when you come down. You draft a report to the county party committee in the name of Yingzhen's party and government, and I will also sign it. Then you go to the county to run around .

Afterwards, the mayor said to Dai Deng: You can do it, just take a handful of rotten coriander and get the job done!Bring the lamp and say: I didn't mean to take you down on purpose, the secretary will only pay attention to the seriousness of the matter.The mayor said: But are you sacrificing me?With a lamp said: This is not a sacrifice, but a use.Using others and allowing others to take advantage of them is the only way to get things done, and is there value for each of them?This time you have to work hard again and you ran to the county.The mayor said, "Anyway, I'm the one who wiped my ass."Bring the lamp and say: I will give you a painting, but I won't take any money. Can you still run about your personal affairs when you go to the county?

Bringing a lamp really gave the mayor a picture of a colorful peony. However, the mayor went to the county seat and brought back news that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention promised to conduct an appraisal, but due to the recent adjustment of middle-level cadres at the center, it was necessary to delay and asked Yingzhen to wait for the notification.Whispering with lights on what kind of unit is this? The adjustment of cadres can delay work. Can they eat one less meal for three meals a day?She was not in a good mood, so when the secretary informed her to attend the county's annual women's work conference, she said she would not go.The secretary said: You must go, and I have to give you a task to get me back the personal and town advanced!I had no choice but to go with the lamp. When I went, I followed the advice of Deputy Mayor Ma and took fifteen catties of top-quality sweet potato vermicelli.The sweet potato vermicelli in Laojunhe Village, Ying Town is famous throughout the county.

I had attended a women's work meeting before I took the lamp, and I knew the person in charge of the meeting, so I gave them 15 catties of sweet potato vermicelli.The meeting was held on June 18, and the meeting lasted for one day. In the morning, we listened to the leader's report, and in the afternoon, we presented awards. Sure enough, we got two certificates.After the meeting, she brought the lamp and did not intend to go back to Ying Town. She had just opened a room in the hotel and wanted to stay overnight to take a bath. Look for it, and once you find it, notify him immediately, and he will send someone to send a car back to pick it up.With the lamp suddenly angry, he turned off the phone with a click, and threw the phone on the bed.But after throwing it away, he picked it up and turned it on again, and the phone rang again. Bai Renbao said: The reason why the town government has provided everyone with a mobile phone is to ensure 24-hour communication. Why did you turn it off?Bring a lamp and say: I'm here for a meeting, can't I be at peace?Bai Renbao said: It was because you were in the county that you were asked to look for it.Bring a lamp and say: I'm not looking for it!Bai Renbao said: I can't command you, the secretary asked me to call you!Bring a lamp and say: Jia Youfu can't petition, even if he petitions, he can't go to the county. We are either tired like old cowhide, or the wind is raining. Don't scare yourself!Bai Renbao said: At noon, the secretary called an acquaintance in the county court because of other matters, and the acquaintance told Jia Youfu to go to the court.The court held that the township’s opinion was invalid if it was not stamped, and Jia Youfu stamped it when he went back; the court also believed that the stamp should not be stamped during the mediation period, so Jia Youfu cried and made noise in the court, and was dragged out by the court.After hearing this, the secretary felt that the matter was serious, and Jia Youfu might have to petition, so he asked you to look for it in the county.He said with a lamp: Jia Youfu went to the court and it was under the jurisdiction of the court. It had nothing to do with petitioning. There was no loss of control or not. Even if he lost control, did he have to petition?Bai Renbao said: What if I appeal?The secretary said that anyone can get out of control, and the petitioners in Zhendongjie Village cannot get out of control, because Zhendongjie Village is a poverty alleviation village targeted by the Municipal Organization Department.If Jia Youfu went to petition, how would the secretary explain to the county organization department, and how would the county organization department explain to the city organization department?Bring the lamp and say: Well, if you look for it, look for it.

Bringing the light on, she didn't look for Jia Youfu. She took a shower in the hotel and fell asleep on the bed. Jia Youfu is a resident of Zhendong Street Village. For many years, he had a dispute with his neighbors over a passage in front of the door. The village failed to mediate, so he brought a light to deal with it, and decided that the passage belonged to Jia Youfu, but the neighbors still piled wood and firewood on the passage. , Jia Youfu continued to make trouble, and dealt with it with a light, and ordered the neighbors to clear the passage.And last month, the neighbor wanted to build a house on the passage again. Jia Youfu couldn't stop him, and once again he wanted to severely punish the neighbor with a lamp, saying that you should go to the court to file a lawsuit.Jia Youfu also sued the neighbor to the court.

When she woke up, she called Bai Renbao with a lamp, said nothing but sent a car, and then she went to the restaurant to eat. After eating, the car came, and took the car directly to Jia Youfu's house in Zhendong Street Village. Sure enough, as expected with the lights on, Jia Youfu was at home. When did he come back?He said he just came back for dinner.Did you go to the county court today?Said yes.How did the county court that I went to in the morning come back?Said that he went to the house of his son's uncle, who was a teacher and could give him advice.After finishing speaking, he cried to Dai Deng to express his grievances.With the lights on, Jia Youfu was asked to get in the car, and then he knocked on the door of the neighbor Wang Chengzu's house. Wang Chengzu was already asleep, so he let him get in the car when he woke up, and they were taken to the town government, yelling at the secretary and the mayor to face each other with gongs and drums. solve the arguement.

Until dawn, an agreement was reached: 1. The channel belongs to Jia Youfu.Second, pay Wang Chengzu 300 yuan to demolish the newly built house foundation.In view of the small size of Wang Chengzu's house, it was approved to give a homestead and build a new house. All three parties signed the agreement. After Jia Youfu and Wang Chengzu left, the secretary wanted to see the certificate of award brought back with a lamp, and said while reading: June 18th, ah, today is a good day!Bring a lamp and say: the eighteenth has passed, and now it is the nineteenth. Niu Huahua from Liyuzhai is an acquaintance, and she only knew Daideng and Bamboo for three days, so Zhang Luo went to her house to eat pancakes.Niu Huahua's body is irregular, her hips are big, and her legs are somewhat bowed, but she moves stools, pours honey water, and picks photo frames from the wall to show that she was still a model pig raising when she was young, like a rabbit, she suddenly runs over and over .Zhuzi asked how many children you have. She said that she gave birth to six successively, becoming a daughter and a son.She pronounces her son as Ru.She smiled and said: I have to have a ru. When it comes to the sixth one, I still want to have a ru. It’s a girl. I dreamed that four girls bit my legs at night, so I didn’t dare to boil her to the urine bucket!Her house has five rooms, five purlins and four rafters, one bright and two dark, it is the best house in the whole village, Zhu Zi lamented that the walls are all stone walls, how smooth they are!She took the ladder to touch the walnuts in the small window of the gatehouse, but she found a snake. The bamboo with the lamp screamed in fright. She threw the snake out of the courtyard wall, and came down as if nothing had happened, saying: The stones were carried up by my father and I from the ditch!

She set up a stove in the yard. The stove was not a pot, but a large slab of varnish, and then she stirred the batter in the basin, stirring it ten times or eight times, adding the end of the pepper leaves, and stirring it ten times and eight times. Pour the batter on the slate and spread it evenly with a scraper.One side is browned, and the other side is fried. Turning pancakes is like throwing clothes.I have eaten pancakes with lights and bamboo, but I have never eaten such a big pancake, nor have I seen such a pancake method.She said, "Eat, eat. After the wheat harvest, we need to mend the earth. The most important thing is to eat this big round cake. You should have eaten it long ago, but you didn't know it back then!"

Originally, Ying Town had prepared a small car, which was used by the secretary. After the construction of the big factory, the big factory gave the secretary a car imported from Japan, and the old car was returned to the mayor.Since then, there have been two small cars in the town government compound, and they are often parked at the main entrance of the two-story office building, one on the left and the other on the right. One day, Zhuzhu quietly brought a lamp and said: Have you noticed?In the past, the secretary's car was parked on the left, and the mayor's car was parked on the right. Now many times, I found that the mayor's car stopped on the left early, and the secretary's car stopped at the front door, blocking the road.Bring the lamp and say: Why do you pay attention to this? Seeing that the leader has a car, are you petty and unconvinced?Bamboo said: I think it's complicated here.Lighted a cigarette with a lamp, but said: You bury this in your stomach! There are many people in the south of the construction team, and Yingzhen began to spread that those people can eat everything, and there is nothing they can’t eat, so Wang Housheng sold them snakes, and the sons of Ermao and Wang Caicai sold them golden pheasants, civet cats, and even bamboo. Mice and sparrows.The sand was scoured on the river beach, forming large puddles, and there were fish in the puddles. The Yuan family brothers caught carp, bearded fish, and red-spotted fish, and sold them to the construction team of the big factory.Zhuzi knew about it, so she went to the river beach to get the fish, but she didn't pay for the fish, and asked her to tie the fish with wicker so that she could carry it with her hands.Yuan Heiyan said: People from the town government, if you like to eat, you can come and get it. After eating fish, you look good, and we can live well after seeing it with our eyes! What Zhuzhu brought back was a foot-long bearded fish and a two-inch-wide small crucian carp, and he brought a lamp to the town street barbecue stand to pay for processing.Almost every day, one or two bamboos are obtained, and the scales are scraped and dismembered when the lights are on.And with lights, it is really annoying to tidy up and eat, but I can't say.Bamboo also started to stop eating, just trying to play. Zhuzi suddenly said to Dai Deng: I have five weaknesses to overcome.Bring a lamp and say: I got some fish and realized that I like to take advantage of it?Zhuzi said: Going to get other black-eyed fish is to overcome the weakness in a targeted manner.Asked what is the weakness with a light, Zhuzi said that one is narrow-minded and small-minded, the other is that he has a big temper and is nestled in his stomach, the third is poor self-control, the fourth is panic and can’t sit still, and the fifth is the most important one, which is soft and not stable. ruthless.She said: I should not lack humanity and kindness, but lack ruthlessness?Bring the lamp and say: Do you still hate that old man for spitting on your face?If you spit on him, his face won't be soft anymore? !How ruthless are you, wearing the skin of the Zhangzheng government, swearing as soon as you open your mouth, and beating people with your hands? Are you the feared Prince Ma, the ghost of impermanence, the ass of a tiger or the tail of a scorpion? !Zhuzi didn't expect to be scolded by the lantern club, and said: I said one sentence, and you said ten sentences, so I am not as cruel as you.Dai Deng himself laughed and said: Am I cruel in your eyes?Bamboo said: I won't talk anymore.Bring the lamp and say: Look, you still said that you want to overcome your softness, and you didn't even say a word? !Bamboo said: Am I also contradictory?Bring the lamp and say: I understand what you mean.But let me tell you something, this is what Yuan Tianliang said in the book, he said to change what he cannot adapt to, and to adapt to what he cannot change.We are in the town, and we are doing the work of the comprehensive management office. We can't avoid evil, but we still have to be kind, kind to those poor farmers, kind to those hateful petitioners, kindness may not be rewarded, but it can Find comfort.He also said: Why did you say this to me today, you got into a fight with Teacher Duan, and you are in a bad mood?Bamboo said: This is not true.I remember what you said, but I always feel that we are deceiving ourselves. Our work goals and ideals are to satisfy our self-esteem in the name of the overall situation, the party's interests, and the government's influence? As soon as Zhuzi finished speaking, he was taken aback with the lamp, and looked straight at Zhuzi with his eyes.Bamboo said: Do you see me?Bring a light and say: Really?Bamboo said: I think so.Bring the lamp and say: Oh, maybe it is. The old Kan’s family on the opposite side of the alley celebrated the full moon for their children, and invited many people in the compound to have a drink. I was alone in the room quietly, flipping through your book randomly, and eating a bag of hawthorn slices with my feet on the bed. I floated out of the window, and suddenly I saw a branch of poplar fluttering in the wind, and I was surprised that it was you.These days, my heart has been a little chaotic, like grass growing.I bought a magazine during the county meeting, and saw an article I got angry about cold and hot violence in the family, which made me think about my own sorrow.But I also remembered that farmers often put a bean on the good side or put it on the bad side when picking beans.It's like my marriage.Why do I still put myself on the good side?I'm not so angry when I think about it this way.It's not easy for everyone in this world, why don't you think about the hard work and brilliance of the other person, especially the man?It is often said that one slap cannot be slapped, so maybe two or three more slaps can be slapped, and it is unfair for one person to bear the fault and guilt.So live on.Am I capable of loving without the power and design of cleaning?Do save yourself from the garbage, just need the strength to stand up.I wanted to write to you in a few more days, like spring water gathered for a few days to become clear and deep, but my thoughts kept wandering.Occasionally, a thought flashes through me, thinking that death is a beautiful word, it is the two concepts of complete liberation and eternal attainment, of course I am the latter, and I thought of trees first when I was alive.The tree is silent and the most noisy. The tree can sprout green, bloom and bear fruit in spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunshine, rain, dew, cold, heat, and blossom. Its flowers, fruits, branches, branches and leaves of various colors, fragrances, flavors and shapes are the tree's response to the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. of appearance.Who is the good image of the tree waiting for? I know it in my heart, but my heart misses the person I like with a beautiful feeling facing the blue sky, beautiful sun, clear wind, bright moon, high mountains and flowing water, but I can't show it and I can only endure it silently.I learn from the tree, grow the beautiful feelings in my heart into leaves, bloom into flowers and bear fruit, and survive like a tree, year after year, season by season, day by day, to give birth to rings.Calm people with gorgeous hearts. Yesterday afternoon, I leaned on the railing of the stone bridge in the west of the town to watch the bright sunset in the wind and struggled to not want to set. I was thinking of holding it in my arms to make eternity. I looked at the trembling green leaves on the tree that did not want to fall. Seeing the exquisite cloud book floating in the mirror-like sky, I should recognize the words.It was a warm night in my dream last night. I walked around with you in my dream. The town government was boiling a big pot of herbs and said that whoever wants to do what business depends on which herbs you choose. I asked you to choose for me, and you fished honeysuckle for me.I'll eat yellow rice buns for you, and you'll be happy after a night of drinking.I miss you very much, but I must keep myself safe.If I have to endure deep-seated lovesickness in this life, it must be owed to you in my previous life.Let my thoughts surge through the ditches and ditches of the mountains, and make up for our lack of true energy in the mountains. The old man in Tianjing Village called Zhao Xin called Daideng, saying that she borrowed the mobile phone of the man who came into the mountain to collect the bark to call Daideng, and the mobile phone only had a signal on the mountain ridge.She said that she happily saw a schisandra on the slope, and she was picking it now, so she asked to eat and get it with a light.I was very happy to bring the lights. I replied that I would go on the same day, and I also reminded: Do you have Xu melons? If you find Xu melons, pick some, and try to pick the ripe ones. Bamboo doesn't know what a melon is, so imagine it looks like a watermelon or a melon.Bring a lamp and say that you have not eaten Xu Gua in the years since you came to the mountains?Xugua is not big, like a child's fist, and often there are only three or four knots on a vine.Xu melons will split when they are ripe, like steamed buns, and Xu melons that are not cracked cannot be eaten.The flesh of the exploded melon is white, the seeds are black, less water but sweet and sour.Seeing that Dai Deng was in a good mood, Zhuzi deliberately wanted to bring her light to tell her about Zhao Xin, but Dai Deng talked about Zhao Xin's father, saying: That old man is interesting, I like interesting people! Zhao Xin's father opened a consignment store in the village, and the people in the village called him Zhao Consignment.Zhao Daipin loves to sing operas, sings by himself, walks with a lotus hoe and slaps his buttocks, and plays his tongue to children after he comes back from the field.He loves birds and plays tongues at them.When he was young, he once fell asleep and crushed a half-year-old boy to death with his feet. He said that he would be fine if he didn't have a boy in his life, and if he didn't want any more, no one would give him anything, and he would suffer retribution.He spoiled Zhao Xin since he was a child. When Zhao Xin wanted to eat the candies from the consignment store, he would make up some riddles for Zhao Xin to guess. If she guessed right, she would give one piece of candy. If she guessed half right, she would bite half of the candy.He always felt that Zhao Xin's mother spoke too aggressively, but Zhao Xin's mother went against him. He combed Zhao Xin's hair without spit on it, and oiled the teeth of the comb, saying: "Your mother will comb your head." Pressing prisoners.Zhao Xin thought her mother was snarky, so he beat her and said her mother was a monster. He said, "It's not a monster, it's a dryad. It was made from the saponin tree on the cliff. It's full of hard thorns, but it can bear saponin." .At that time, Zhao Xin's family made more money selling saponins than eggs. When Zhao Daipin passed away, Zhao Xin was still young. That night, Zhao Xin was still sleeping at Zhao Daipin's feet. While sleeping, he asked Zhao Xin to write, saying that if he finished writing well, he would come to Wafangzhai to be a teacher in the future.At that time, Zhao Xin didn't know that the village head would not let her family do consignment sales, but wanted to do it for the wife of a teacher in Wafangzhai in the village. Her father was so angry that his stomach was pounding like a drum.Of course Zhao Xin wanted candy too, so he gave one, then clapped his hands and said it was gone.That night, Zhao Xin woke up and told her dad to light the lamp, but she couldn't do it anymore after calling her dad, so she went to the next room to call her mother, and her mother came up and hurried to the village seven miles away to call a doctor. Say in one voice: Brother, eat whatever you want.The sales agent Zhao said to Zhao Xin: What shall I leave for my baby?In the afternoon, he leaned on a stick and sneaked onto the main road at the bottom of the mountain. He saw a bouncy car coming, and then he watched the bouncy car pass by; Passed by; and a car came, he walked from one side of the road to the other, and fell in the middle of the road, and the car hit him and killed him.Afterwards, Zhao Xinjia was compensated 30,000 yuan. Bringing the lamp on and telling the story of the old man's house, Zhuzi was very interested at first, but then her heart sank. She no longer forced her to ask, and did not talk about it with the lamp on. The two walked a section of the mountain road in silence.When they arrived at Tianjing Village, Zhao Xin had already picked up the Schisandra chinensis, and stood in front of the door to welcome them.The schisandra in other places has long since disappeared. The schisandra in the high mountains of Tianjingzhai will not be harvested until after autumn. When Zhao Xin picks it, he breaks off the branches one by one.I like to eat with lights, but bamboo is too sour. Zhao Xin said: If you eat it again, it will taste sweet afterward.After eating another handful of bamboo, it was still sour, so he ate two of the three Xu melons. Bring a light and say: Is it delicious?Bamboo said: delicious.Bring a lamp and say: Is it worth a trip?Bamboo said: I ran for a long time to eat a few berries.Bring a lamp and say: This nobleman!Bamboo said: Are you still an aristocrat? !Bring the lamp and say: Who can run so far for a fresh bite, who can run so far, who can have this leisure time, and who can have this interest if he has leisure time?Zhuzi laughed so hard that he said: "It's a nobleman, the biggest nobleman in Ying Town."Dai Deng also smiled and said: Do you think I owe that bite? That's how the old man handed in slowly.He said to Zhao Xin: After eating your wild fruit, I must do some work for you.Zhao Xin said: I think so, then follow me to pick peppercorns! There are pepper trees on the yellow sand beam behind the house.As soon as the three of them went to the back of the house, they yelled out with the lamp on. !The bark is exploited because people from other places often come to buy bark, and the purchased bark is processed into car tires, and the leftovers can be reprocessed into wooden floors, which cost eighty cents a catty.Every year, the township government publicizes the prohibition of bark exploitation, but they always talk about it, or post a notice on the wall of each village, and no one pursues it.Zhao Xin said: I was worried that you would talk about me when you came, but you really did, your eyes are like awls!Bring the lamp and say: The bark has been peeled like this, and I am not blind.Why don't you just peel off the skin? !Zhao Xin said: After the rain, it will grow well again.Bring a light and say: Is it raining?When will it rain?Zhao Xin said: The village head is also exploited. On the yellow sand beam, the pepper tree looks like a shriveled little old man, full of peppercorns but no leaves, with lamps and bamboos carefully picked to avoid thorns, squinting to see sparrows pecking peppercorns and then opening their mouths to spit them out.The smell of prickly ash made them snort, their lips were numb, and tears flowed when they accidentally touched their eyes with their fingers.Zhao Xin said, "Let's go to the spring over there to wash our hands."Turn over the yellow sand beam, there is a ridge on the other side of the beam, and there are two tile-roofed houses under the ridge, and not far from the tile-roofed houses, there is a puddle of water in front of a clump of bamboo.Zhao Xin said that when the weather is not dry, the spring water is as thick as an arm, and it has to flow down the ditch.After washing my hands, I looked at the scattered houses going down the ditch. Just as I said how beautiful the place is, there was a quarrel in a family, and there was a well-dressed person in the yard.Zhuzi said: Hey, is that someone from the town government? I took a look with the lights on, and it turned out to be those long-toothed ghosts from the town government, including Director Hou, so he said let's get out of here and don't let them see it.The three of them got into the tile-roofed house by the bamboo forest. Zhao Xin knew this family.There were two couples in this family, and six children. The six children leaned on the ladder built by the earth building in the west room, and stood up from the bottom to the top of the ladder, staring at the stove in the east room.Under the stove sat a man lighting a fire, and under the stove a woman was boiling eggs in a pan.Bring a lamp and say: so many children?Zhao Xin said: There were only two of them, and the four belonged to his elder brother and sister. Both elder brothers and sisters had gone to work, so let them take them with them.Seeing the sudden arrival, the couple were a little flustered, but immediately greeted them enthusiastically. The children quickly gathered around and looked at the faces with lights and bamboos, saying this and that, like a magpie's nest poking a pole.The man said: Get out, all out!Take a baked potato from the stove and throw it to a child, and then take a baked potato from the stove and throw it to a child, throw six, and the children rush out.The daughter-in-law scooped up four eggs from the pot and into the bowl.The woman said: I didn't know you were coming.It means sorry for not cooking eggs for the guests when they come, but it also implies that the bowl of eggs will not be eaten by the guests.Bring a lamp and say: Let's come and walk around casually, and you eat.The woman gave the egg bowl to her husband, and the husband took another steamed bun from the stove and said, "Then I will eat it!"A little embarrassed, I took it to the bedroom to eat.Bamboo said: Ah, children eat potatoes, adults eat baked buns with eggs?The woman said: His birthday is today. In fact, Director Hou had already seen the houses with lamps and bamboos entering the bamboo grove, and shouted hard to tell them to go down.He refused to go down with the lamp, and the various departments of the town government have always done their own things. In addition to unified deployment, this department is not happy that another department interferes, and the other department does not want this department to eat locusts.But Director Hou ran up and said: You are so arrogant, I can't tell you, and now Deputy Mayor Ma asked me to tell you to go down!Bamboo said: Who are you scaring?A fox pretends to be a tiger!Director Hou said: "It's okay if you don't go down. I'll tell Deputy Mayor Ma, who is the deputy mayor of you?" !Bring the lamp and bamboo and let Zhao Xin go home and walk down the slope. Sure enough, Deputy Mayor Ma was at this family's house.This family has three upper rooms and one kitchen. Deputy Mayor Ma sat on the kang in the upper room. When he saw the bamboo with the lamp, he asked why you also went to the mountain. Someone from Tianjing village in Shaliang went to petition, reporting that the village chief took the lead in exploiting bark and selling it for money, and they came to deal with it.Deputy Mayor Ma said: The bark exploitation is also serious in the village here. Our town has been talking about this matter for many years and not doing anything.Bring a lamp and say: You are the leader.Deputy Mayor Ma said: Whoever regards me as a leader can't do it after calling you for a long time.Bring the lamp and say: Where is it? As soon as we said you were here, we came rolling and crawling!What's the matter, you went into the mountain because of your poor health?Deputy Mayor Ma said: It’s very nice to meet you. You have done family planning work and you can get along with the masses. lead!Deputy mayor Ma said: Does the family planning office also take care of the stability of the village?You come to sit on the kang and let them tell you about the situation. Leaning against the edge of the Kang with a lamp, he sat cross-legged without taking off his shoes.The kang was very big, and there was a rotten quilt nestled in the corner of the kang. She lifted the quilt, but inside was a clay pot, in which the flour was fermenting, and covered it again, allowing the bamboo to sit on it.Bamboo was still standing at the door, she was afraid that there would be lice on the kang. Director Hou said that a woman in Wanpu Village in the east of the town had an unplanned childbirth and had been hiding in Tibet since she became pregnant. She could not be taken to the town health center for abortion. But last night, after receiving news, the woman ran back to Miaozigou They drove the mayor's small car to arrest her. The small car stopped at the mouth of the ditch and walked to this ditch. The woman was not at her natal home, and she might have hid somewhere on the mountain before they arrived.If no pregnant woman can be found, the natal family must be fined, and the natal family only has an old couple, and they just refuse to give up. Bring the lamp and say: No one was caught, maybe the woman didn't come back to her mother's house, even if she came back, how much money would the family of her mother's mother be fined?Deputy Mayor Ma said: The person who reported to me said that it was true that he saw the woman in Miaozigou. Why didn't her family fine her for hiding her?Bring a lamp and say: Tianjingzhai and Miaozigou Village are both poor places. Look at the empty house. I'm afraid even the mice don't come. What kind of fine can I pay?Deputy Mayor Ma said: Can't we make a trip in vain?It's just a fine of 200 yuan, gas for the car when going down the mountain, and let everyone eat a bowl of noodles.Bring the lamp and say: Do we owe that bowl of noodles? !Deputy mayor Ma said: I have an adverb, don't I?Seeing that deputy mayor Ma got angry with the lamp, he laughed and said, "Yeah, use this method to force me!"Then I'll go see the old couple, where are they?Deputy Mayor Ma said: In the kitchen.I took the light out of the upper door and went to the kitchen. The officers said: Well, we can still improve!Bamboo, bamboo, come and sit on the kang! Bamboo went to the kitchen with the lamp. An old man was sitting on the wooden pier at the mouth of the stove, and the old woman wiped the stove with a rag, muttering as she wiped it. She seemed to have wiped it countless times, and the stove was shining brightly.The old man said harshly: Are you mumbling to death? !The old woman threw the rag on the old man's head and said: I am dead!It's easy for me to kick my legs when I'm dead!As soon as he entered with the light on, the noise stopped, and the old man sat on the wooden pier again with his head in his arms.The old woman said: Give me the rag, give me!The old man threw the rag under his feet again, and the old woman wiped the stove again.Bring the lamp and say: Seeing me, I also pouted and hung up? Dai Deng remembered that she had met this old couple. In the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, she came here once because someone reported that the village cadres kept money privately when purchasing tobacco leaves.Passing by the door of this house, the old woman asked if she had eaten, and she said she hadn't, so the old woman took a carrot.She said that she didn't eat radishes and wanted to eat scrambled eggs. The old woman said that the chickens had covered their nests for a few days, so they should kill the chickens.She said kill it, kill it, the old woman giggled, saying that you, a member of the town government, can joke.She said that I don't eat anything, don't worry, as long as you see me and greet me with a smile, I will be very happy!Now, the old woman didn't smile, and said: Are you coming too?Bring a lamp and say: I am not with them, what's the matter, they are sitting on the kang and won't leave?The old woman said: They said they would not leave unless they were fined, let them sit down, let the stove sit down!Bring a light and say: How much is the fine?The old woman said: They said at least two hundred.Bring a lamp and say: How much money do you have?The old woman said: "It's only one hundred, which is still the money from selling the bark the day before yesterday."Then he said to the old man: You give the money to this comrade. This comrade has a kind face and a pleasant speech.The old man stood up, turned his back on his back, and began to untie his trouser belt, taking out somewhere in his trousers.Bring a light and say: Don't dig it out.If you go out with me, you will go to the village to borrow money, and you will not come back after you go out.The old woman said: Lord, why can't I think of this, so people are stuck in the house! The four of them went out of the kitchen, and the old woman told Deputy Mayor Ma that her family really had no money, so they went to the village to borrow it.Deputy Mayor Ma said: If you want to borrow a person, you can't come back after leaving. Should we guard the door? !The old woman looked at the lamp, and said with the lamp: The leader is right, let you old man go, will you also boil a bowl of boiling water for us? The old woman was holding firewood in the yard, a bundle of bean stalks, and a bundle of wheat straw, and then she took the bucket to scoop water from the spring.Deputy Mayor Ma let Zhuzi follow her.In the spring, the bamboo said: "Why do you drink boiling water? You have to drink it in the spring!"The old woman said: Who are you, and you belong to the town government?Bamboo said: It belongs to the town government.The old woman said: Why does such a nice girl belong to the town government?Bamboo said: This is wrong, there are good people and bad people everywhere.Helped to bring back the water, the old woman yelled that there was no fire, and asked who brought the fire. Zhuzi knew that the old woman was deliberately dawdling, so she went to the upper room to ask for a lighter from Director Hou, went to the stove to light the fire, and stopped talking to the old woman, and returned Sitting at the door of the upper room and looking at the cherry tree in front of the door.The cherry tree may have picked twigs and leaves together when picking cherries, but now only the hard branches are bare, and a bird is pecking its wings and falling off three feathers. Deputy Mayor Ma and the three officers seemed to ignore the sound of the bellows from the kitchen. They were keen to talk about the recent new situation and changes within the town government. The CPPCC is the vice chairman.Immediately someone said that the vice chairman might not be able to do it, and he might go to the county transportation bureau. If he really went to the transportation bureau to become the director, it would be a place where meat can be eaten, and it would be issued within a few years.Deputy mayor Ma said that once the secretary leaves, the mayor of the town will be the secretary now. The mayor is lucky, and he will be the secretary when he is young.One said that it would be good for everyone to leave the other. If the mayor becomes the secretary, you will be the mayor.Deputy Mayor Ma said: Maybe, there is no one above me, and I don't have the money to send native eggs.After hearing this, Zhuzi turned to look at the lamp, but the lamp pretended not to hear anything.She rummaged through the cage hanging from the wooden beams in the upper room, suddenly giggled, and said: This old woman, hide the buns here so that everyone will not eat them.The three long-toothed ghosts on the kang suddenly rushed down to grab the bun, but there was only one bun, and they brought it to Deputy Mayor Ma with a lamp.Said: You keep saying that you support Deputy Mayor Ma as the mayor, but you forget the leader when you have food?Deputy Mayor Ma smiled and was not polite, so he broke the bun in half and gave the other half to the lamp.However, Deputy Mayor Ma found a black spot in his steamed bun and asked, "Is this a lice?"Director Hou took the steamed bun to look at the bright place at the door, then dug out the black spot and put it on the palm of his hand to look at it, saying: It's a lice.With lights and bamboo, my whole body itch. Deputy Mayor Ma called the old woman over, and the old woman said, "Oh, can you find this steamed bun even if I put it in a hanging cage?"Director Hou said: Why are there lice in the bun? !The old woman said: Lice?Officer Hou said, "It's lice!"The old woman said: Yeasted noodles are covered with a quilt on the kang, and the lice in the quilt may have run into it.Director Hou said, "You really can't speak. If you say it's ashes or sesame seeds, you're fine, but it's the lice that got into the yeast dough?" !Deputy Mayor Ma scolded Director Hou: You can talk?You said it was a lice first, you can talk? !竹子哇地捂了嘴,恶心地到院子里吐。 这时候老头子从房侧的猪圈那儿过来,转身又去了厨房,马副镇长催带灯去问钱借到没有。带灯二返身进了厨房,小声说:让你出去不要回来,咋又回来了?老头子说:我出去没地方呆么,再说我不回来,他们也不会走的。带灯说:那你借到了?老头说:到哪儿借,借谁去?带灯说:看来不罚是不行了。老婆子说:你给说说,就罚一百吧。老头又解裤带,从裤裆里掏出一百元给带灯。带灯把一百元收了,从自己口袋掏出两个五十元,一张给了老婆子,说:罚五十。就拿了另一个五十走了出来。 马副镇长说:钱借到了?带灯说:借了五十元。马副镇长说:打发要饭的呀?带灯说:也只有这五十元,不要就没了。侯干事说:再多十元也行呀,给车不加油了,咱可以每人在山下寻个饭馆吃碗面么。带灯说:我和竹子不吃,剩十元钱你还能喝几瓶啤酒。 马副镇长他们离开了苗子沟,带灯和竹子又翻过黄沙梁去了赵心家,直到傍晚才往回走。 从甜井寨到镇街是十二里路,一路的知了都在叫。知了应该是自呼其名的,但知了一多,叫声繁复,就成了嗡嘤嗡嘤嗡嘤,像纺棉花。
