Shannanshuibei 韩少功 1812Words 2018-03-19
Gu Dae is very thin, and when his head is tilted, it rests horizontally on his shoulders; when his legs are entwined, they become unbelievably twisted; when he thrusts his hands behind him, they actually stick out from the other side of his waist.The joints of his whole body seem to be able to fall off and fold at will.If he wanted to scare me, it seemed that he could just go ahead and twist himself into a Rubik's cube so that I couldn't find his head in a pile of body parts. This suspected Rubik's Cube couldn't help but come to announce the good news: the daughter who worked in the city came back, and bought a pair of leather shoes for her mother, one hundred and three; bought a sweater for his father, one hundred and three; I bought a very fashionable dress, it was gaudy and frivolous, it had been patched a lot, it looked ugly, it was still one hundred and thirty.I also brought a box of high-grade candy, each piece was wrapped with three or four layers of paper, and it was only one hundred and three to eat with tongs...

I don't know why he always quotes the price, and always quotes "one hundred and thirty". He may have misremembered. It stands to reason that Father Gu has two working daughters, both of whom are sensible and take care of the family.Therefore, his family situation will not be too bad.But he still asked me to borrow money, saying that he wanted to buy a cow and his money was a little tight, so he begged me to lend him a hundred.He returned it not long after, but came to borrow it again after a while, saying that the shop needed to buy some goods, and it was really hard to turn around, so he begged me to lend him another three hundred.He returned it shortly after.Since then, he has a good credit history of borrowing, borrowing not much each time, and repaying the money basically on time.

In fact, I suspect that he borrowed money for other purposes, such as publicizing the reputation of borrowing money (pretending to be poor can save a lot of trouble); It's never a bad thing to have in your hands).But he didn't borrow in vain. Although he didn't pay back the interest, there is a bridge and a way for favors.Two pears were brought once, small sour pears with a bitter taste—I didn't want to eat them, but I took them.Another time he sent two thick tubes of mosquito smoke, which were two tubes of sawdust wrapped by himself with waste newspapers, and asked me to smoke the mosquitoes-I said it was unnecessary, but I couldn't refuse.He probably wanted to say thank you.

He seemed to be troubled by his creditworthy loan history. When he saw me on the road once, he sighed heavily: "You live closest to my house, but I insisted on not borrowing from you, and I suffered a lot. Oh, I suffered a loss!" What does this mean?Is it because he can't bear to cheat me?Not reconciled to this intolerance? I have been to his house, visited all kinds of flowers in front of his house, and visited the upstairs and downstairs of his new house. I can't drink enough, but I drank half a bowl of grain wine from him, and I choked my forehead to sweat. according to.It was cold autumn, and I stretched my hands under the cotton mattress of the drying hood, and soon felt that my hands and chest were warm.Under my instigation, Father Gu sang some songs through the wine, nothing more than "It's hard to make tea when the tea pot is small, and it's hard to manage the house when the husband is young", or "Lang is in Gaoshan and sister is rushing, the two love each other No way" category.After he finished singing, he jumped ahead of me and commented on himself: "It's so deep! It's so deep!"—this refers to a song about orphans.

He then talked about his ox, which he bought with borrowed money not long ago: So what is a ox?More sensible than people!He is more knowledgeable about books and etiquette than people! Every morning, he doesn't have to herd the cows at all, he just needs to open the gate of the cowshed.That rhubarb not only knows the way by itself, but also does not eat the neighbor's grass or vegetables, turns left and right by itself, and goes straight to the grassy slope by the lake to look for food.In the evening, you look into the cowshed, hey, it is back in the cowpen again, and it will never get lost outside. "It must have been a person in its previous life, otherwise it would not be so spiritual. Do you believe it?"

He said so. Gu's father's two daughters have both gone out, and only "Aunt Man" is left at home - this is what the locals call the youngest daughter.Poor Aunt Man lost her eyes due to a serious illness a few years ago, leaving two empty eye sockets, and she is still unable to go to school.But she lives near the school, so she often goes to the school and listens to the teachers through the window.Now she can actually recite the ninety-nine table and the two-digit square table verbatim. She can also sing songs such as "Katyusha", "Arirang", and "Grandma's Penghu Bay".When guests go to her house to sit around, the most common program is to ask her to recite a section, from ninety-nine tables to square tables, which amazes the guests.

I only went to her house once, but one day when I passed by there, I found her standing at the door, looking at me from a distance, and muttering: "Han Shaogong!" It sounds weird for a child to call me by my first name. An old man next to him who was breaking bamboo teased her: "Isn't it wrong? Where is Han Shaogong?" "It's Han Shaogong!" She was still looking at me. I also wanted to tease her, so I deliberately kept my voice down, "I'm Teacher Long!" She shook her head. "How do you know it's not?" "I remember the sound of your walking."

Father Gu walked out of the gate and yelled loudly: "It's not big or small, do you want to be beaten? You called the name of the lord? You called 'Han Dae', did you hear that?" Then he smiled at me, "She, she has a pair of Dog ears. You only got to the school gate before she heard it." The old man who broke the bamboo next to him also said: "She can even tell which cow is passing by." This of course surprised me.Since she could tell which cow was passing by, she must also be able to hear which dog was passing by?Which chicken is passing by?Maybe also hear which bird and which bee flew by?Could she hear the secrets of various people, animals, plants, soil and flowing water in this cave in the middle of the night...even my sigh in the middle of the night?

I played her one of five fingers to guess the middle finger once, and that one time, I had long since forgotten.I was astonished to learn that, since then, my ray of footsteps has remained there forever, as a part of my being, forever collected in the darkness of a little blind girl.
