Chapter 6 Section 6

Cowbell rides on the roof of his house and claps his hands. As soon as he clapped his hands, the poplar trees by the gable shook, and the leaves bumped against the leaves, and they all clapped their hands. There are taboos in Gulu Village, that is, not planting mulberry in front of the door, which is regarded as mourning, not planting willows behind the house, for fear of thieves, and not planting poplars outside the gable, the leaves of poplar trees clap like ghosts .The poplar outside the gable of Niu Lingxing's house is not actually Niu Ling's. Tianbu planted the poplar next to his pigpen, which happened to be next to the gable of Niu Ling's house.Yang Shuye clapped his hands, but the cowbell heard it and pretended not to hear it. He changed his legs and was still on the ridge of the roof, but he spat at Tianbu's house.

Niuling's house is behind Tianbu's house. Niuling's house is tall. Tianbu is renovating the old house and raising the foundation by one foot. This year, Niuling's mother died of illness. The size of the bell also raised the ridge of the roof by one foot and five inches, and a mirror was embedded in the middle of the ridge.It was this mirror, Tianbu said that it was a demon mirror, specially designed to illuminate his family, and the two families have been angry since then.Of course the branch secretary had to make adjustments and made a decision: 1. Niu Ling's family must remove the mirror.2. The Tianbu family can no longer look at it and increase the roof ridge, and pour a pot of wine, fry three dishes, and the two families drink and reconcile.He drank a big cup of this pot of wine, Tianbu, and cow bell, and let the party secretary drink the rest.The branch secretary was top-heavy from drinking and stumbled when he went out, but he said: This is fine, as long as I am still the branch secretary, I will not allow Gulu Village to have no order!

This mediation was praised by Secretary Zhang of the Luo Town Commune. Secretary Zhang also led village cadres from other places to Gulu Village to learn from the experience.Before Secretary Zhang and the others came, the branch secretary asked a mason to chisel a stone lion at the south entrance of the village. The stone lion was very majestic and had a ball in its mouth.There are two pairs of old stone lions at the entrance of Yaoshen Temple. The stone lions are all stepping on hydrangea balls under their feet, but this stone lion has a ball in its mouth. The young people in the village don't know what it means.Mian Yuer said that Gulu Village seemed to have such a saying in his previous life, that after the ancestors lived here, there was a monster in Nanshan who always came to attack, and a fairy gave the patriarch a pill, saying that he took the pill in his mouth It turns into a lion. A lion can resist monsters, but the pill cannot be swallowed. If swallowed, it will never restore a person. If you want to restore a person, you just need to spit out the pill.The patriarch took the pills and turned into a lion. The monsters dared not enter the village again, but they never left Nanshan. The patriarch did not spit out the pills. Over time, he became a stone lion squatting at the south entrance of the village.Mian Yu'er said that he heard his grandfather say that when he was a child, but he had never seen the stone lion at the south entrance of the village. Whether there was no stone lion at all, or there was a stone lion that was broken or moved away later, he have no idea.After the new stone lion was chiseled, it was placed on the road to the south of the village. The villagers all said that the stone lion was the branch secretary, or that the branch secretary guarded Gulu Village like a stone lion.At that time, Shui Pi wrote a slogan on the wall at the south entrance of the village. The party secretary asked him to write it.Bacao was also on the scene, and he said: Whoever messes up will clean up! Zaohuo said: Ah Bacao, you mean that the difficulties are all caused by party members, and the problems are all caused by the branch? Everyone was dumbfounded, and Bacao said: When did I say this? When did I say this? Dog urine moss, did you hear me say this?! Dog urine moss didn’t know what to say, but my mother-in-law said: Look at your snot, it’s disgusting, Blow your nose! The dog peeed and blew his nose, blowing endlessly, wiped his nose on the nearby tree, and never dared to come again.

However, Shishizi Town was at the intersection, and only half a year later, Tianbu died when he was young.Ten days later, Niu Ling and he died.The cemetery of their two families is not far away. On the cypress trees in the cemetery, a group of white-billed birds and a group of red-billed birds often live. They choke and quarrel at dusk, and the graves are always covered with guano feathers.The villagers said that it was two people who met again in the underworld, but unfortunately no one went to mediate. What Gou Niati didn't expect was that after the two adults died, Niu Ling and Tian Bu got back together, of course Niu Ling flattered Tian Bu.The sky cloth was on fire, the corners of the mouth were rotten, and the eye sockets were covered with gum, and said: Niu Ling, go to Ma Shao's house to scoop up a bowl of syrup! Ma Shao's mother is the best in making syrup in the village, and everyone wants to nest sauerkraut They all went there to beg for oar water introductions, and Niu Ling went to scoop out oar water.Tianbu said: Who has cigarettes? Niu Ling asked the person with the cigarette bag pinned to his waist for smoke, and found a piece of paper, and rolled a trumpet-shaped cigarette for Tianbu.Tianbu often praised the cowbell for being able to climb trees, saying: Are there any eggs in the bird's nest on this tree? The cowbell climbed up the tree with both hands and feet.The man under the tree shouted: Be careful, be careful! The cowbell climbed to the highest branch, held the bird's eggs in its beak, and even grabbed the branch with both hands to swing.Gou Niaomo persuaded Niu Ling not to do this, Niu Ling said: Tian Bu is the commander of the militia company, he has a gun.Dog urine moss said: He can shoot you with a gun? Niu Ling said: I also want to be a militiaman in the future!

Now, Goupimos came from the alleyway after being ridiculed, saw the cowbell clapping on the roof, and knew that the cowbell was laughing at him, so he got a little angry and said: "Cowbell cowbell, you want to install a mirror on the roof again?" Niu Ling said: You x mouth, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted! Gou Uitao said: Then why did you slap your hand, it itches? Niu Ling giggled, seeing that the dog pee moss was about to leave, but said: No, the persimmons are wet and frosty. The dog urine moss stopped again.In winter, almost every household puts a bag of corn stalks on the roof, and there are persimmons in the corn stalks. After the winter solstice, the persimmons become soft and sweet after frost.Gou Niati doesn't have a persimmon tree in his house, and Niu Ling wants him to eat persimmons, so Gou Niati doesn't hold grudges against Niu Ling.But he couldn't get into the house. The cowbell only built a rafter on the eaves, and he couldn't climb it.Dog urine moss said: You give me one!

Niu Ling said: "Smile for me!" The dog pee moss smiled, and Niu Ling dropped a persimmon.The persimmon didn't catch it, and it fell to the ground and became a pool of red sauce.Another one was thrown down, but when it was caught, it was red sauce with two hands.He licked all ten fingers. The cowbell came down from the eaves, kicked his lower body to let the dog pee moss step on his shoulders, and then stood up, the dog pee moss climbed up the gable wall, climbed up the wall wall, but still couldn't reach the eaves.After Niu Ling went to the room, he stretched out his hand to pull the dog's urine moss up. When Niu Ling pulled the dog's urine moss, he squatted down and rubbed his crotch, revealing his black buttocks.Cowbell said, "It's so stupid! Goupimos didn't want to admit that he was stupid, so he said: Put on your hat!" Cowbell was still a baby when a mouse bit his ear, and his left ear was missing a piece, which was cut off in winter. If you can't stand the cold, the persimmon hat has one ear protector up on the top of the hat, and the other ear protector is pulled down to cover the left ear.As soon as he said he had put on the hat, Niu Ling felt ashamed of his appearance. He straightened the hat, covered his left ear with the earguard, and stopped talking.

The tile edges on the house are full of pine trees, and some pine trees are still blooming with white flowers.Niu Ling said: Do you really eat persimmons? The dog urine moss said: You must keep your word.Cowbell said: You eat five.Dog urine moss said: eight.Niu Ling said: There can only be six! Niu Ling eats persimmons by holding the handle of the persimmon, gently biting the tip of the persimmon with his teeth, sucking everything away, and then blowing on the persimmon skin again. Return it to its original shape, put it on the tile edge, and say that you can eat persimmon skin again after ten and a half months.The dog pee moss didn't want to leave the shell, he just wiped the dust on the persimmon, and took a bite, the persimmon juice flowed down the corner of his mouth, stuck out his tongue to lick it, and then swallowed one more.Niu Ling said: Spit nuclear, spit nuclear.Dog urine moss does not spit out cores, and stuffs persimmon handles into shoe shells while not paying attention.The cow bell went to pull the vase on the edge of the tile, and the dog peeed and said, "It shouldn't be blooming in this cold weather."Niu Ling said: Why don't you eat my persimmons? Goupimos said: There is no wind today, and the flowers are asleep.Cowbell said: Are the flowers still sleeping? Pull out a tree, and the flowers as big as millet will scatter like sand. At the same time, all the flowers on the pine trees will shrink, and the flowers will shrink into small balls. It was like a layer of salt was sprinkled in vain.Cowbell said: How many have you eaten? Goupimos said: Four, look, four persimmon handles.He ate two more. In fact, there were four persimmon handles stuffed in the shoe shell.

In the alleyway, Mian Yu'er's wife carried a lifter and walked. This woman had very big hips, her upper body and lower body seemed to be wrongly joined together, and she seemed to be falling apart when she walked. Goupiamos said: Kaishi's mother's ass is so big, it can cover a tank tightly! Niu Ling said: Big ass can give birth to babies, so Kaishi, Shuozi, and Lanfang and Meifang were born.Dog urine moss said: After giving birth to so many babies, did she lie two on one side and two on the other? Cowbell said: She is a sow? up.Mian Yuer's wife went to knock on the courtyard door of the third aunt's house in the back alley.

In fact, Mian Yuer is not an old householder in Gulu Village. He migrated from the East Ditch of Yijialing. People migrated here. There is still his land in the East Ditch. The villagers go to plant and harvest soybeans twice a year.The reason why Gulu Village eats watery tofu and is famous is because of the noodle fish.But Mian Yuer was already in his thirties when he migrated here, and he was still a bachelor in his forties.This year, Kaishi died, leaving behind a wife and four children. Life was difficult, but the third aunt helped them make arrangements, and the two families became one.Another ten years later, Kaishi's brother and sister had grown up, but Mian Yu'er's hair was all gray and her waist was bent.Ma Zihei is like a fish in the face, you can't afford it, but it's a big burden to live for a x.Mian Yuer said: What are you talking about, I just draw these dolls.Mazihei said: Is that your baby? They called you big? The noodle fish said: What, why not?

But Niu Ling knew it, and so did Gou Uitai, and Kai Shi never said that the noodle fish was big.Niu Ling and Kai Shi had a fight, Kai Shi was bigger than Niu Ling, and Niu Ling couldn't beat him at all, so he scolded: fish, fish, noodles made of fish! Kai Shi was not angry, and said: If you scold the fish, scold the fish! Kaishi is not very tall, but he has a big head and a thick waist. He eats three meals in the house during the day and does not sleep at home at night. say.I have taught Kai Shi a lot of lessons: You are so stupid that you don’t dare to be heartless, it’s not because you are making trouble, two of you four brothers and sisters have died long ago! Kai Shi turned his head aside when he heard this.

Mian Yuer's wife took the shengzi to the third aunt's yard, where the cat lay on its back and howled. A chicken with a cockroach tiptoed over to see it, but the cat ignored it and howled like a cat. cry.The wife of the noodle fish said: Third Aunt, Third Aunt, you have to lend me some noodles! The Third Aunt was spinning on the steps of the upper room, and her legs and neck were itchy while she was spinning, so she stopped spinning and untied the belt on the trousers. , opened the socks to catch lice, just caught one, heard the cry, shook the hand, the lice fell down, the lice and soil were the same color, and said: "This ghost, don't knock on the door, come in, come in!" She got up from the futon, took the hand of Mrs. Nianyuer, and said, "Look at your hand, it's full of blood, and you don't even wear a glove! What's the use of noodles when it's not a holiday, because the noodle fish is rolling in the wind." Ginger soup? Mian Yuer's wife said: Kaishi's mother-in-law is here.The third aunt said: Oh, when is it? Mian Yuer's wife said: I am afraid it will be the eleventh or twelfth day of the new year.The third aunt said: The fetus is all right? The wife of Mian Yuer said: Something is wrong, her mother just came to see it.The third aunt said: "It's really weird. The babies in Gulu Village were all born in the same way. Why are they born sideways in the past five or six years?"Mian Yu'er's wife said: Turn it over.It's just that the reaction is big, and I vomit as soon as I eat, and the bile comes out.The third aunt said: It's fine to pull it, if the reaction is big, it's okay.Is the wine ready? Nian Yuer's wife said: It's ready, you must come over to drink when the time comes.The third aunt said: How can I be missing? What’s wrong with the branch secretary this time, and he is willing to make wine for Bao Gurang? My grandson came out the year before last. He was born on August 16th, so he couldn’t eat the whole year’s rations, just one extra day.My daughter-in-law will not give birth, but your daughter-in-law will give birth, and there are dozens of catties of corn more! I heard that the relief food has come down again, so I don’t know how to judge it, but your family must be indispensable.Mian Yu'er's wife said: "Of course it's good to be rated, but it's enough for me not to be rated."The third aunt brought a basket from the upper room, which was full of flour, and said, "The courtyard is bright, and you can see the pink air clearly, and there is no white corn mixed in when grinding the wheat."Put the flour into the riser, put it flat, and then hold the flour with your hands and sprinkle it on the riser little by little until a spire appears on the riser, saying: "Okay! Miuer wife Said: I will return the wheat to you after I grind the wheat.Holding the son in both hands, he walked out.The third aunt went back into the house and ran out again. She grabbed a handful of castor beans, stuffed them in the pocket of Shi Yuer's wife, and said, "Your house must be out of oil. Peel a few castor beans, don't eat them." Let the in-laws laugh at our lack of oil in the meal.Mian Yu'er's wife's eyes turned red suddenly, and she said: Third aunt...you always take care of me.The third aunt said: "Why are you crying? Why are you crying? Pay attention to your feet!" Dai Hua carried a basket of pepper leaves and scattered them from house to house. In the yard of her house, various fruits, trees, flowers and plants were planted. There was a row of pepper trees at the root of the courtyard wall. When winter came, all the pepper leaves were picked and stored in the sweet potato cellar. Take it out and let everyone cook it in a rice soup pot and eat it in a corn-bread bun filled with corn noodles.As soon as he arrived at the door of the third aunt, Mian Yu'er's wife brought out the shengzi, and gave it to the third aunt, and stuffed a handful into the arms of Mian Yu'er's wife.The third aunt likes to say: Chang Kuan did some blessings in his previous life, and Dai Hua is so kind-hearted! Mian Yuer's wife said: There are so many people in our Zhu family, it's not as good as someone with a foreign surname.Dai Hua said: What's the matter, I can't even give birth to a baby! The third aunt was speechless right away.Mian Yu'er's wife said: Women can still have babies, you are too late to get pregnant.The third aunt said: That's right, that's right.The old people in Luo Town joked that Gulu Village has beautiful mountains and green waters, but the persimmons are astringent, the walnuts are rootless, the women are black, and the mother-in-law is thick. How could they know that there are still rare people! The skirt reveals a section of white belly.As soon as he looked up, he saw the cowbell and the dog's pee moss, hurriedly put down the jacket, and cursed: "What are you looking at with broken condyles? This is what you are looking at?!" Niu Ling hurriedly said: We didn't watch it, we ate persimmons! The third aunt said: Eat? Eat again?! After eating the persimmons, what should I use to mix the rice husks with? Niu Ling said: Don't mix it! The third aunt said: Fart! Do you have fried noodles without rice husks? If you don’t have fried noodles in February and March, you eat tiles and bricks? The cowbell and dog pee were no longer eaten, and the cowbell slid down from the rafters in front of the eaves, and fell on its back in a hurry, screaming.The dog urine moss did not dare to slip, and lay down in the tile trough.The third aunt shouted from the back of the house: Are you okay? The cow bell answered in the front yard: No...it’s okay! The third aunt said: Without the adults, the baby’s life will be ruined! But I saw Yu’er passing by the alley with a load of dirt, He said: "There are visitors at home, do you still carry the soil?" The noodle fish said: "I am filling up sweet potato nests in the field. When I heard that there are visitors at home, I will go back and take a load of soil by the way. The pigsty has become a muddy pit." .The third aunt said: What about the stone and the lock, they can't carry the earth washer? The fish said: Do they have anything to do with them?The third aunt said: "Oh, what are you going to do? Are you dry?" The noodle fish said: "Eat a lot, even if you are thin, you can't get fat if you put a pig in your stomach."The footsteps did not stop, and went back first with the burden. The third aunt said to Yu'er's wife: You have to take care of him more.Mian Yu'er's wife said: "Why do you manage it? He just can't stay idle."Dai Hua said: Can't you be idle at night? He is getting old, so don't act like a wolf.Mian Yuer's wife said: If he doesn't want that, I will never think about it for the rest of my life.Dai Hua said: Who are you fooling! After working all day, the night is long and I am hungry, so I can only sleep if I work hard.Mian Yu'er's wife said: Kaishi loved to play when he was growing up, teasing you tentatively, Mian Yu'er was a starving ghost, and wanted to be endless, but it was over as soon as he came up, I just Do your part as a woman.The third aunt said: He has never touched fish in half his life, but you dare not follow his wishes.Mian Yuer's wife said: I can control him? Dai Hua said: If I can't control it, then you have to make up for him. Burn an onion for him every night, and an onion will be hard all winter! The third aunt said: You are hurting him more and more! The three talked for a while, the third aunt bowed her head, and the cat was standing at the gate of the courtyard, smiling and wiping her face, the third aunt stopped talking and hurriedly called the cow bell. Cowbell ran out of the front yard, and his forehead was blue, oozing blood, and covered with chicken feathers.Niu Ling said: What are you talking about, it’s so lively! The third aunt said: What are you talking about, you don’t know how to live! Don’t mess with the persimmons on the room. If the weather is fine tomorrow, the third aunt will help you mix rice husks.Niu Ling said: That's it? The third aunt asked Mian Yuer's wife and Dai Hua to leave, and said: "Your legs are weak, you go to the third alley and ask Ma Shao's mother, she asked me to dye the cloth for her, why not?" No one came? Niu Ling said: What did I think it was? He shouted like a gun?! He tilted his head and went back to the front yard, and took the dog pee moss from the house. When the dog pee moss slipped from the corner of the eaves to the top of the gable, he smelled the smell again, so he lowered his head and looked into the yard. He saw a snake crawling out of the crack in the stone at the root of the gable, and then crawled into it again. Another stone crevice.It is strange that this snake can still be seen when the snakes are asleep in winter.The dog pee moss didn't see the head and the tail of the snake. The body of the snake in the middle of the gap between the two stones was that kind of flower red color, so he didn't tell him that he smelled that smell again.
