At noon of the next day, Lao Shun replaced the ladle to manage the watering. Shun threw two cages for the dog urine moss, and told him to go to the lotus pond to fetch duckweed grass for his pigs.Pigs love to eat duckweed grass, but the production team has long stipulated that it is not allowed to go to the lotus pond to fish for duckweed grass, because it is easy to step on and break the lotus stalks, and if you step on a lotus stalk, it will damage a nest of lotus roots .Dog urine moss is afraid to fish, Lao Shun said you dare not and I dare not? My pigs grew up eating duckweed grass.The dog peeed moss and went to pick it up. Fearing that people would find out, he even picked a lotus leaf and put it on his head. Only half of the cage was caught, but he was hit by a mill passing by the pool. The mill scolded him and declared that he would punish the dog for peeing moss for a day. work points.Goupitai came over to complain about Lao Shun, but Lao Shun scolded him for being stupid, why didn't he get into the middle of the lotus pond to fish, even if he heard someone coming, why didn't he hold his nose and didn't go into the water? , I went home at noon and saw his swallow, but he didn't say hello, and ran into Xing Kai again, Xing Kaiming saw him, but still ignored him, so he didn't even ask to fill the bowl with food No.Xing Kai had already run past, but he turned back and said, "Call your mother-in-law quickly, call your mother-in-law quickly!" Gou Niai said, "You all know that calling a mother-in-law won't call you an uncle?" Xing Kai started to cry, just happened to come over in the alley Tu Gen dragged Tu Gen to her house.

When Goupiati came home, the mother-in-law had cooked the meal, and she was sitting on the steps with paper-cut flowers. When she looked up, she saw Goupiati pouted and said, "There is food in the pot, eat it by yourself."Dog urine moss filled a bowl of batter, and potatoes were boiled in the batter. The potatoes were not cut, and the mouth was wide open when eating, and the eyes were like copper bells.The mother-in-law said: Lao Shun and you watered it? The dog piss moss choked the potato, and he couldn't breathe without talking.The mother-in-law said: Be honest and honest.The dog is still choking on urine moss.The mother-in-law didn't see the dog's urine answering, took another look, and hurried over to beat the dog's back. The blocked potatoes went down, and the mother-in-law said: Who is arguing with you? Don't steal dung! I eat potatoes again, and my face is still hanging.The mother-in-law continued to cut paper flowers, and said: "Your face is so long, you will be sick after eating."Goupitai said: Then I will tell you something, don't worry.The mother-in-law said, "Huh? Dog Pee Moss wanted to say that the mill fined him a day's work points, but he didn't say anything when he got to the point of his mouth."The mother-in-law said: What's the matter? The dog urine moss said: You have to promise not to worry.The mother-in-law said: No hurry.Gou Uitai said: Xing Kai asked you to go to her house, maybe he was arguing with her.The mother-in-law said: If you get angry, Xingkai can let people go, is it because she is seriously ill? The dog urine moss said: I don't know.The mother-in-law put down the scissors and was about to go out.Gou Uitao said: You said there was no rush, why did you go without eating? The mother-in-law said: Don’t rush when you are sick, you can’t even speak back and forth clearly!

Dog urine moss was talked about by the mother-in-law, and he was even more unhappy. He is not a strange woman now, but Xing Kai. Every time he meets Xing Kai, he will inevitably get angry.The lilac tree in the corner of the courtyard was shaking and shaking its leaves, but the leaves stopped shaking after the dog pee moss stared at it.Goupiatai was in a daze holding the bowl. There was a seller of Liguo sugar outside the door, his voice was very thin, and it came from the pan mill at the entrance of the village.As long as you enter Gulu Village, you will yell as soon as you pass the big mill.Now, his yelling didn't excite the dog pee moss, and he was still sitting there like a lump of mud.The mother-in-law went out, but said, "Here comes the voice."The dog urine moss did not move.The mother-in-law turned back to dig out the hair nest in the crack of the wall, took out a pile, and said: You don’t want to eat Liguo candy? The dog urine moss said: I don’t eat it! Dare to collapse! Go, go! Pushed by the mother-in-law, the dog urine moss took the hair nest and went out.

The sound came from the Nianpan along the inclined alley to the dirt yard in front of Changkuan's house. There were three straw collections on the dirt yard, one from Changkuan's family, one from Bacheng's family and one from Mingtang's family. Standing there, people are eating dry tobacco, but their eyes are fixed on the gate of Changkuan’s house, and they shout: rotten copper, rotten iron, hair nest, and pot of sugar——! The gate has been closed tightly, and there is a cat squatting at the door , the cat bared its teeth like a tiger. There was no one around, so the dog peeed and said: Did you bring pig eggs today?

On the rear rack of the bicycle that came from the sound, there are two large bamboo baskets, inside are black thread and white thread, hair clip thimble, mirror comb, bamboo filial piety for tickling, shoe straps, red hair rope, razor knife, and trousers. belts, aprons, soap for washing, and cream for wiping.A cloth bag was hung in front of the car, containing Liguo sugar.A wire was inserted into the handlebar, bent several times, and a strip of red cloth was wrapped around the top, which marked that he could still be castrated. Goupimo asked if he had brought a pig's egg, that was on purpose, because he was going to wear a pig's egg the last time he came.When Goupitai was asking questions, he looked at the rose on the wall of Changkuan's courtyard, and a red flower bloomed alive.

Immediately the courtyard door of Chang Kuan's house was opened, and Dai Hua came out, wearing a Gebu Papa on Dai Hua's head, she looked up and saw the sound of coming and the dog peeing moss, she stopped looking at the sound when she walked over, and neither Looking at Goupitai again, he went straight to the wheatgrass market, and said: Yo, Goupitai, did you steal something from your mother-in-law to exchange for sugar? Goupitai said: It wasn't stolen, it was my mother-in-law's hair.The wheatgrass gathered three chickens to eat. They raised their heads and pawed at the wheatgrass with their feet, and then lowered their heads to peck in the wheatgrass.Dai Hua said: "The vacated field has not been cleared? I drove away the chickens. I knelt there and shook the wheat straw again, and then shook the half-length but not short wheat straw again. I picked it up and sprinkled it down. There was no wind in the sky. Blow, and some grains of wheat fall to the ground.She said: "Come on, do you bring cyanine?" The voice said: "Yes, yes."Lai Sheng didn't give Yang Jian to Dai Hua, but took Gou Uitai's hair nest. He didn't even weigh it, so he grabbed a handful of Liguo Tang from his cloth pocket and gave it to Gou Uitai.Gou Uitao said: That's it? Come and say: How much do you want?! Gou Uitai muttered and said "stingy skin", took the candy and sat on the root of the wheat grass to eat.Liguo sugar sticks to the teeth, but once it sticks to the teeth, it will not be eaten all at once. I just use my tongue to stir the teeth, and slowly enjoy the choking sweetness.The voice came from the side of the wheat straw collection and said: Is it fragrant? The dog urine moss said: Fragrant.The voice said: Close your eyes and lick it slowly to make it fragrant.The dog urine moss said: Yes.Knowing that they were going to talk, they did.First, I heard a voice saying: How can I pick a few grains of wheat? There was a sound of wheat grass, and Dai Hua said: You... dog urine moss.She was calling Goupiati, and Goupiati could ignore everything after eating Liguo Tang, but he ignored Daihua.Later, Laisheng turned to look at the dog's urine moss, and the dog's urine moss really closed his eyes, and said softly, "Are you asleep?" He came to the back of the straw collection, and there was another sound of straw brushing.Dai Hua said: You are so bold, the dog pee moss... A voice came and said: Broken (Bone Spring) fell asleep.Dai Hua said: He is a big kid, how could he fall asleep so quickly.The sound came again lightly, Gou Niati pretended to be really asleep, his head was tilted to one side, and his hands were loosely placed there.Lai Sheng put a piece of candy in Gou Niati's hand, trying to see if Gou Niati was really asleep, but Gou Niati immediately grabbed the candy, opened his eyes and said: "What a big deal you are going to do, Just a piece of candy sent me away?! Laisheng was stunned for a while, and Dai Hua said: "Goupimo, what is he doing? Come and help me pick up wheat! Goupimo didn't help her pick up wheat, never did Sheng's cloth He took another piece of candy from his pocket and said, "I won't pick up wheat for you. I want to pick up my mother-in-law!" Then he left.Gou Niati didn't run away, guessing that Lai Sheng would not run over to snatch the piece of candy from him, as expected, Lai Sheng did not chase him away.

However, Dai Hua said: Where has your mother-in-law gone? Goupitai said: I went to Xingkai's house.Dai Hua said: Did you take out the meat from the throat of the full basin? Dai Hua said: "No, they all share the meat. Almost everyone ate the meat the night before, but Xing Kai just gave her fried meat this morning. She cut the meat into lumps." Big, thinking that the pimples are big and chewy, she is reluctant to eat them. When she eats too much, she goes to the spring to fetch water. The basin is full and sits on the kang to eat. The meat is not rotten, and the cut pimples are tender Big, chewed and chewed, didn't chew it, it was a pity to spit it out, so I swallowed it, and it got stuck in my throat.When Xing came back with a load of water, the meat was still stuck, and his face was full of red.Xing Kai couldn't get it out with his hands, so he asked Chang Kuan to help him out.He laughed when he heard the sound, and said: Can you still let the meat trap people? Patted on the back, choked on an iron bump and went down.Dai Hua said: "Goupimoss, did you choke on eating meat?" Goupeiati said: No.Dai Hua said: "When a person is sick, he goes blind. This person is full of dozens of years old, and he has been a captain. Is he more greedy than dog pee moss when he sees meat?" Gulu Village! Eating meat can still get stuck in the throat and people will pick it out. If it is taken out, it should be cut up and eaten again.But Goupiati panicked for a while, his right eyelid twitched, he rubbed it with his hand, it still twitched, and said: Is the twitching of the right eye a sign of disaster? A voice said: Did you see something you shouldn’t have seen with this eye? Condyle, people are deaf and dumb, you can’t see what you shouldn’t see, and you can’t say what you shouldn’t say! Goupimo gave a stare, thinking that if the length and width are all helping to dig out the meat, why does Xing Kai still have that look? Tell him to ask his mother to go, is it possible that the meat has not been taken out yet? The dog urine moss said: What should I do if I can’t take it out? It was eaten to death.Let me eat meat and die anytime!

However, the pot was full, but the lumpy meat could not be taken out, and the person was suffocated to death. When the news spread in the village, no one believed it at first. They thought it was a joke, and they even said that after getting sick, they wanted to die. , In the end, he didn't die, so he had to eat meat again to die.And it was confirmed that Manpen was indeed suffocated to death with meat stuck in his throat, so they all ran to Manpen's house, saying while running: God, why did this happen, why did this happen?! Goupiati rushed away, and almost all the villagers were standing in Xingkai's house and yard. The branch secretary and Mozi were already discussing arrangements for the funeral.According to the custom, a person has to be buried on the third day after his death, but he was as strong as a cow before he got sick, and he was not very old, so he didn't think about death at all, so he didn't make a coffin and a tomb in advance. There are too many people, and Xing Kai never thought that she would die soon when she was young. The father and daughter are still angry with you, and I am angry with you, just live like this.The third aunt came over to talk to Manpen when she was fine, and she also reminded Xingkai that there was a tung tree in the backyard of Bacheng's house, and it was too thick, and she once said that she would sell it.Xing Kai said: It doesn't matter if he sells it or not.Seems unmoved.The third aunt said: If the price is right, you should buy it for you, you have a big body...  Xing Kai was still a little unhappy, and said: How old am I, I am still a baby in front of you, besides, he has not completed his mission.The third aunt said: What tasks does he have? All the kilns will be built on Zhongshan? Xingkai said: If he is not the captain, what kind of kiln will he build? Baby! Xing said with a smile: I am very dizzy, I can't walk, but I am not sick, I can eat and drink.But the full basin just died in eating and drinking, and was caught off guard all of a sudden.Mozi became the master and bought a tung tree from Bacheng's family, and asked Bacheng to cut it down and make a coffin while it was wet.Ask someone to take someone to the Houpo arch tomb, which is in the old cemetery of the Manpen family, so there is no need to look at Feng Shui.Later, I said that the tomb needs bricks, and I have to go to Xiahewan Village to buy the bricks. Even if I buy the bricks, I have to pull the bricks for two days.Mozi asked Bald Jin to drive the walking tractor, and two trips would be enough. How could it take two days? Therefore, it cannot be buried on the third day. If it is left for a few more days, the helper will have three meals a day, and Xingkai’s food will be more heavy. Moreover, it is hot and the body cannot be left for that long.It is still the party secretary who makes the final decision, and the tung trees of most of the families will not be cut down, and the coffins he made himself will be filled up first, and the tomb will not be pulled bricks. Bowls are used as tomb walls. People in Gulu Village can use waste saggers, rotten bowls and broken pots for the walls of the courtyard. Why can’t the tomb walls be used, not to mention that Manpen was most concerned about the kiln when he was alive. He died and lived in those sagger bowls. In the yin house of the pot, the soul is also safe.At that moment, Mozi had someone call Baizi from the kiln and asked if there were any waste saggers in the kiln. Baizi said yes but not many. The courtyard walls are all built from waste saggers.The matter was arranged in this way, and the branch secretary said to Mo Zi: You have been managing here for the past few days. .Besides, the situation in Gulu Village is not good right now, and people's hearts are in turmoil, so I took advantage of this to bring everyone's hearts together.Mo Zi said: You gave up your coffin, this matter must be done anyway, the old captain offended some people during his lifetime, I went door to door and asked everyone to come to burn paper, and anyone who can help to help .The branch secretary said: That's good.My stomach is burning, go back and rest first, and tell me if you need anything.But before leaving, the branch secretary went to the house to look at the full basin.The full basin was still on the kang, the third aunt asked Tian Ya to wash the full basin with water, and Xing Kai was still throwing himself on his big body, shouting that I am not dead, big, big, she yelled no, she stretched out her hand Touching her big hand under the quilt, she said that her hand was still hot, and touched her feet, saying that her feet were still hot, and cried again, saying, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" The third aunt also touched it with her hand, saying: It's too cold for everyone's hands, and the apricots are blooming.Xingkai burst into tears.The third aunt said: Don't dare to cry, Xing Kai, don't dare to cry this time, burn the paper and cry again.Why don't you burn the paper? Someone bought the paper from Kaihe's consignment store, and Goupimos snatched it from the paper buyer at the gate of the courtyard and ran to Xingkai.Xing Kai knelt in front of the kang to burn paper, and the third aunt said: "Dog pee moss, did you use money to beat the paper?" Gou pee moss said: "I didn't do it."The third aunt said: You are in a panic, how can you get money if you don’t play it?! But the dog urine moss has no RMB on him, so he took the paper and asked who had money in the yard, but the people in the yard either had no money or only five cents. One corner, at most, is two yuan in length and width, and the gourd said: The branch secretary has five yuan notes, use five yuan to type paper, and send more money to the full basin.Ma Shao said: You are still so serious about coaxing ghosts. If burning paper is really worth the money, you will become a county magistrate if you die?! Dog urine moss does not listen to Ma Shao. Go out of the room and go to the upper room, Gou Niati asked for the five-yuan note from the branch secretary, spread the paper on the floor, slapped the five-yuan note on the paper, and said: one five, Ten, fifteen, twenty... Count to eighty-five, if you get confused, stop talking.

The branch secretary went to the kang in the upper room, looked at Manpan, and said, "Why isn't the mouth closed? I pressed my hands to make it close, but Manpan's mouth just couldn't close."The third aunt said that she had been picking out the meat all the time, but she didn't close her mouth, and she couldn't close her mouth when she froze.When it stops on the bier, the pillows are raised higher, and the face is nestled down, it will not be obvious.The branch secretary said: When do you wear old clothes? The third aunt said: I don’t have old clothes.The branch secretary said: Oh, what about Changkuan, let Changkuan arrange the mourning hall quickly.Gou Uitai brought in the money-filled paper, and Xing Kai lit it on fire in front of the kang. After burning a few sheets, Xing Kai let go and cried, and Gou Uitai cried too.The branch secretary said to Gou Diamo: "Don't cry, go call Shuipi, ask him to take some white paper to write elegiac couplets on the mourning hall and the gate, and then ask someone to carry the table at my house. I have a long desk in my house."

The dog urine moss came out, and someone in the yard was building a stove, building it into a seven-star stove. With the help of the cowbell, there was grain and mud, and some wheat straw should be added to the mud. Shao said: Don't dare to scold Niu Ling, or you won't be around in the future and no one will build a stove for you.Youliang said: I count on him, look at him like that, I don’t count on him even if I feed the dog when I die! The dog urine moss came to pull the cowbell, saying that the branch secretary asked you to call Shui Pili, and the branch opened the cowbell, and he and Suozi went to the secretary's house to carry the long desk.

On the east wall of the courtyard, Lao Shun and Zaohuo began to dismantle the waste saggers. Just outside the courtyard wall, there were five dogs standing. The strange thing was that the dogs didn't bite them, and they sat there watching. Dog urine moss and locks carried a long desk, small in size, and his legs kept touching the legs of the desk, and turned the desk over to lift the table. There was a gentle slope in the alley, and he was holding the edge of the desk with his hands facing back , and couldn’t grasp it tightly, and shouted: “Stop, stop, your hand is about to come off! The lock was swarming forward from behind, and the dog pee moss did not take off the hand, but the person fell to the ground, and a front tooth was knocked out.The dog pee moss picked up his teeth on the ground, and the lock scolded: You are so tall, can you lift it?! The dog pee moss stopped picking up his teeth, and said: Who is taller? The lock said: You are tall! The dog pee moss jumped up and went to the lock Shuo Zi spit on his face, and before he jumped up, Shuo Zi spat on the dog's pee mossed face.Just happened to pass by, and hurriedly said: "Suozi, Suozi!" Seeing that it was his in-laws, the dog pee moss felt that he had lost his dignity, so he jumped up and spit on the lock.Then he said: "Let's lift the lock."The two carried it away, but the dog didn't spit on the pee moss, so he immediately took off his shoes and slapped the lock on the buttocks. Goupiati thought, Mazihei used to love to bully him, and Mazihei would bully anyone, that's all, but Suozi is nothing in the village, and even bullied him, so he became angry.The sun was shining on his head, and his shadow was so small. He moved his body, but the shadow was still so small, and cursed the sun.Dog urine moss does not believe that he will not grow. The sky cloth on the plane tree by the roadside once engraved his height line in spring, so he walked over to measure it, touched the top of his head and carved it on the tree, and looked back. He heard the sycamore tree say: It still hasn't grown! The dog pee moss was frustrated, and when he left, he said to the tree: Have you grown? You haven't grown either! When Mianyuer's wife and Kaishi's daughter-in-law came back from the lotus pond, they each carried a cage.Mian Yuer's wife's cage is filled with duckweed grass, and she said: "Who are you talking to, dog pee moss?" The dog pee moss saw that it was Suo Zi's mother, and said: "I hate you!" Mian Yuer's wife said: "Who do you hate? Gou pee Moss said: I hate you! Mian Yuer's wife said: I didn't mess with you, you hate me? Goupiamos said: I hate you for giving birth to pig and dog son! Kaishi's daughter-in-law said: Who are you scolding?! Goupiamosai Said: I didn't scold Kaishi, I scolded Suozi.Kaishi's daughter-in-law said: "Who are you scolding?! Dog pee moss stopped scolding, and said: Ah, you went to the lotus pond to catch weeds. The production team stipulates that you are not allowed to go to the pond. You have caught duckweed grass?"! Noodle fish The son's wife said: I fished while standing by the pool and didn't go into the pool.Kaishi's daughter-in-law said: What are you shouting about? I went to dig some water onions.In the cage of Kaishi's daughter-in-law, there are a bunch of water onions with roots and mud.The dog pee moss said: Can you dig water and green onions have not yet entered the pond? Kaishi’s daughter-in-law got bored and said: What are you doing? You just went to the pond and trampled the lotus vegetable. Tell the captain! Mian Yuer’s wife Stopped the daughter-in-law, came over and said: Dog pee moss does not have such a long mouth, your sister-in-law is sick, it is the folk remedy your mother-in-law said, let dig some watery onions to make soup, how can you step on the lotus vegetable?! Goupiamos heard that Kaishi’s daughter-in-law fell ill after giving birth. He didn’t know what the illness was, but she was so thin that her eye sockets sunken and her cheekbones protruded. When talking to him, she always sat on the roadside stone. Rest, let's not talk about dog urine moss. Mian Yu'er's wife and daughter-in-law walked to the side of the threshing field, and Liu Sheng's daughter-in-law stood there, listening to them.Liu Sheng's daughter-in-law said, "Where are the villagers? I can't wait for anyone."Mian Yuer's wife said: Have you all gone to Manpen's house? Didn't you go? Liusheng's wife said: I can't get away.Mian Yuer's wife said: Liusheng's disease has not turned back yet? Liusheng's daughter-in-law said: People say it is kidney disease, and they need to drink the blood of weasels. They asked Nanshan people to catch weasels, and one weasel was exchanged for two catties and a half rice. I drank three of them.Another one was sent this morning. I was so worried that no one was there. Your mother and I came to help me kill it.Mian Yu'er's wife said: How dare you kill him? It's called a dog pee moss, that broken condyle is so bold! Liu Sheng's daughter-in-law said: Look at his face so hanging that he can hang a gourd, I'm afraid he won't come.Mian Yu'er's wife said: Hey, as long as he calls the secretary, he will be happy! Gou Uitao thought: She knows me? Liu Sheng's wife shouted: Gou Uitao, Gou Uitao! Gou Uitai pretended that what he just said was not I heard it, turned around and said: Hey.Liu Sheng's daughter-in-law said: Can you kill a weasel? A dog peeing moss walked over and said: You can kill wolves, but you can't kill a weasel?! When she looked up, the fish wife laughed.Mian Yu'er's wife said: Look, look, I'm not wrong, so be happy! Goupitai said: It's your lock who bullied me! Kaishi's daughter-in-law said: So that's the case, no wonder you are so angry at us Why is the lock bullying you? Goupiamos said: He insulted me for being small...Kaishi’s daughter-in-law said: Then he is wrong! Goupiamos is so tall, you should keep your head down when you pass the door, don’t touch it Door frame! Mian Yuer's wife said: You mouth! You dragged your daughter-in-law away.
