Maqiao Dictionary 韩少功 2429Words 2018-03-19
Luo Bo was an immigrant from Maqiao. He had been a long-term worker before the land reform, and later served as the village chief for a few years. He was considered an old cadre in Maqiao.Someone proposed to him several times, but he rejected them all.He has been single all his life, eating enough for one person, and the whole family is not hungry.When one person does things, the whole family sweats.People sometimes call him "Daddy Honghua", and Honghua means virgin. People later discovered that he didn't accept marriages not because he didn't have money, but because he was naturally alienated from women, afraid of women, and tried to avoid wives as much as possible. Where there were many wives, it was impossible to find him.He has a sharp and weird nose, and he always smells a stench from women. He thinks that the only reason is that women use face powder to cover the stench.Especially in spring, especially for women in their thirties, the stench from their bodies is always surging, mixed with the smell of rotten loofah, floating a hundred paces away, and he will feel dizzy when his nose touches his head. Staying in this smell for an hour would kill him even more. He must have a yellow complexion, cold sweat on his forehead, and maybe he would vomit endlessly.

He also decided that it was this stench that spoiled his fruits.There are two peach trees behind the door of his house. Every year, the flowers bloom luxuriantly, but they don't bear much fruit, and even if they do, they will rot one by one.Some people say that the tree is sick.He shook his head and said that those thieves would go crazy several times a year, and I would be sick, but the tree could still hold on. He meant that the two peach trees were close to a tea plantation, where women and girls would go there every year to pick tea and laugh. It is strange that the peaches are not rotten.

Some people didn't quite believe his words, and wanted to test whether his nose was really different from the crowd or not, and once he stole his coir raincoat when he was out of work, dedicated it to the women to sit on, and then returned it to the original place. What will happen to him in the future. To the great surprise of the people, when he took out the coir raincoat, he twitched his nose twice, and immediately lowered his face; "Damn it, fucked it up, who moved my coir raincoat?" The men present pretended not to know and glanced at each other "Have I offended you? How can I be sorry to you? Do you want to hurt me like this?" He stomped his feet with a sad face, really angry.

The man who stole the coir raincoat was frightened and ran away. Rob dropped his coir raincoat and went home angrily.Fucha wanted to reconcile the matter, took the coir raincoat to the pond, washed it, and sent it to the old village chief.But in the days that followed, the old village head never showed this coir raincoat again, and it is said that he still set it on fire. People no longer dare to make such jokes with him.When you invite him to dinner, there must be absolutely no female guests on the table, and absolutely no women's underwear can be dried nearby.When arranging him to work, we must also be careful not to send women with him.Once Benyi asked him to follow the tractor in the commune to the county to buy cotton seeds. He went there for two days, and when he came back he said that his leg hurt suddenly when he was walking on the road. He missed the tractor and had to walk, which took time.People in the village later met the master tractor driver in the commune, and only then did they know that he had actually caught up with the tractor. It was only because there were some women hitchhiking on the car that he refused to go on it, preferring to walk by himself.This is no wonder others.

He walked very slowly. It took him a whole day to walk thirty miles from the county to Maqiao.Not only that, he is slow in everything he does, and he is not in a hurry. He seems to know that there will be days after the days, and days after the days, and there will be days after the days after the days.The younger generation likes to work with him, and they can live a more relaxed and leisurely life. The younger generation followed him to Tianziling to build the cross-mountain aqueduct.It was too cold, the ground was covered with ice shells, and everyone's feet were wrapped with straw ropes, and they slipped every step of the way, with the sound of oops and laughter one after another.Everyone shrank their heads and came to the construction site. Seeing that none of the cadres came, only Rob was the one who had the most to say, so they begged him to allow everyone to wait, at least until the sun came out and the ice melted before starting work.Rob sleepily picked out the shredded tobacco in the cloth bag: "Who says it's not? Such a cold day drags everyone out of bed, is it to bury the father or the mother?" Although he didn't make it very clear , the meaning is also understood.Everyone happily dispersed, each looking for a sheltered corner to warm up.Rob had found some dead branches and leaves from nowhere, and lit a pile of fireworks under his crotch, attracting many younger students to crowd there.

"I'm afraid I need to move two baskets of charcoal? I'm afraid I need to set up several stoves?" Benyi coughed and dropped two yin and yang opening sentences, which made people jump up. I don't know that he was holding a bamboo pole for measuring earthwork. Where did it come from. Rob's eyelids were still smeared with gum, and he said slowly, "The road is not stable, why should we bear the burden? Didn't you see? This dog is not on the road." Yes, yes, people followed suit. "Yes!" Benyi sneered again, "I'm here to get you to sleep. Party members take the lead in sleeping, militiamen take the lead in sleeping, and poor and lower-middle peasants overcome difficulties to sleep. You need to sleep to reveal both the appearance and the essence. You know what to sleep. Bar?"

He also used the philosophy of the essence of phenomena that he had just learned.After speaking, he took off his hat and tied up his cuffs.Spit into the palm of his hand, he picked up a rock brick and walked to the other side of the aqueduct.He was also powerful in this hand, and the people present were embarrassed to watch dryly, seeing that the others had also moved, reluctantly walked out of the gentle corner, and in twos and threes bit their bullets and slammed into the cold wind. Rob held his breath, took his last puff of cigarette, and grunted, took a mouthful of rock bricks and followed Benyi.Unexpected things happened at this time.He had just stepped onto the aqueduct when Benyi screamed in front of him and swayed, his two feet could not be stabilized at all. He was moving on the slippery surface of the aqueduct, and he was about to give up the edge, and he was about to slip into the water. A cold valley.People's hearts were suddenly exposed.Before he could clearly see the danger of the situation, Rob had sharp eyesight and quick hands. He threw off the rock bricks on his shoulders with a whimper, and then rushed forward. He didn't catch the figure in front of him, but only grabbed one foot.

Fortunately, Rob's own foot hooked a steel head on the aqueduct, and his body pressed on the ice was dragged to the edge of the aqueduct by the heavy force, and stopped. I couldn't hear the sound of the original meaning at all-it was disturbed by the airflow of the valley, as if a few mosquitoes were coming from the bottom of the valley far, far away. "You, say, what?" Rob saw only another kicking foot. "Pull me up quickly, quickly..." "Don't worry," Rob was also out of breath, "You have learned philosophy well. Do you think this weather is a phenomenon? Or is it the essence?"

"Hurry up……" "It's not too fast, it's cool here, so it's easy to talk." "Mother..." Several young men had already moved closer, pulled the rope, stretched out their hands, and finally carefully rescued the secretary who was hanging under the aqueduct. After Benyi came up, his face was blushing, he was no longer arrogant, he was no longer philosophical, and he had to be supported when he walked down the aqueduct, and he walked in small steps.He returned to the village and chopped a catty of meat, invited Rob to drink, and thanked him for saving his life.

From this time on, Benyi could scold anyone in Maqiao, except for Rob.When Benyi has some good wine, he also wants to bring Rob to his thatched hut and invite Rob to have a sip.Some people said that Tiexiang quarreled with Benyi twice in the next three days, and Benyi always spent time with Rob, which was also one of the reasons.They not only drink, not only speak the vernacular, but also do some inexplicable things, such as bathing together, hiding under the mosquito net together, making the bed board creak, I don't know what the hell they are doing.Even brothers in the same pot can't sleep in the same bed, can they?Someone once went to the garden behind Rob's house to steal bamboo shoots, and by the way, he took a look inside through the paper hole in the window, and was very surprised: Didn't they suck their ass?

This refers to things that are not serious between men. People in Maqiao don't care much about this kind of thing, there are people in Zhangjiafang who do this kind of thing, and there are some Daddy Honghua and Uncle Honghua doing it in the neighboring villages, so it's nothing unusual.Besides, seeing the anger on Benyi's busy face during the day.No one dares to ask in depth, so there is no way to prove it.
