Chapter 19 4. It's windy

After being defeated in the contest with the big mangniu, he was unwilling to be reconciled to a young man with a bare gourd head to take his place, so he showed his hand when building a new field before the harvest.His name is Liu Tietou, and he said that I don't believe that this lump of iron will touch the steel blade head-on.Holding a pipe in his hand, he hugged a big stone roller erected at the head of the village in his arms like a bundle of worthless wheat straw, and crossed the road ditch in one breath, still holding the stone roller, standing on the ground as if "nothing happened", I talked with the "Maike" who came to help with the weather and the issue of opening the sickle before dawn tomorrow or the next day, and then leisurely went to the newly built threshing field, gently put down the stone roller, and pointed to a tree in the middle of the new field. The elm tree with the thick mouth of the bowl shouted: "Who is responsible for this job? Didn't you see this elm tree getting in the way?" Then he waved his head to dig the roots of the tree, and said bluffingly: "Come here, some people, quickly remove this elm tree." An elm tree has sprung up!" The old man was walking the animals, quickly tied the animals to the stone rollers, bent over and hugged the elm tree, shook his arms, and shouted "Hi!" The elm tree was uprooted by him with a "crash".He threw the elm tree to the side of the court, and said to Da Da Shi, who had been demoted to the second rank: "This is the central mark left for the construction of a new court, and it is not needed now. You can fill in the tree pits, smash the porcelain, and make mistakes. No play."

From the small window in the back building, the grandmother Lianzi secretly looked at the field, bouncing and smiling with her mouth covered. Throughout the wheat harvest season, the old grandma's bright eyes twinkled in the small window in the back building every day.Behind the back building is the back yard, and the long-term house and the cattle house are facing the small window of the back building.If you can't find "Little Dabaoer" in the backyard, look over the roof of the Changgong House and land on the wheat threshing field at the head of the village.A tall paulownia tree covered the small windows of the back building with its dense branches and leaves.The old grandma pushed aside the branches and changed the angle from time to time, and she would find the "little big handle" under a certain green leaf that made her heart beat faster.She bit her lip and said, "I'll hold you with a leaf, I can't escape you!"

Liu Tietou and Xiao Dabaer continued to compete quietly in the threshing field. The shrewd owner said: "There can't be two donkeys tied to one trough." He asked them to each lead a team of "mackers" who were part-time workers, and competed in two closely adjacent wheat threshing fields.When building the wheat stacks, the old man was in charge of the new field alone, allowing three people to stack on the top of the stack; on the old field over there, Liu Tietou and a "Maike" were in charge, allowing two people to stack on the top of the stack. pile.Seeing that the wheat stacks on the new field were higher than here, Liu Tietou hurriedly asked a person from the top of the stack to hold the branches for him, and he climbed up to the top of the stack to stack.The old man exchanged positions with the three people on the stack, and the three "Mike" were in charge, allowing him to stack by himself.No matter whether he is on the top of the stack or at the bottom of the stack, he is always one of three.No matter how Liu Tietou replaced them, it was always two against two.The owner was dazzled from the sidelines and couldn't help but say hello to my grandfather.However, Liu Tietou's side was in disarray, and the uneven Maizi took Liu Tietou down from the top of the stack.Liu Tietou crawled out from under the Maizi, and said to Xinchang: "Hey baby, after the game, we will see who is crying and who is laughing!"

In the window of the back building, my grandmother jumped up and down for joy again. After the field was settled, Liu Tietou found that the big bull "hated work", and the puller never spared any effort, so he went to lead it to run the field first.As soon as the big bull saw him, his eyes turned red, his nostrils breathed heavily, and he put on a desperate posture again.The old man ran over quickly, and the big bull rang the bell and snuggled into his arms and rubbed against him.The old man took the big ox away and said, "Brother Liu, it's the ox who picks the man, not the man who picks the ox." Liu Tietou sneered and said, "Okay, I will pick it sometime!"

The big stone rollers are alive, and the big stone rollers on the new field can only be moved by big oxen.Grandpa took the lead again when he was running the field.Liu Tietou threw a whip at Niu Kong across the field, gritted his teeth and said to Niu: "Wait, I don't believe I can't cure you!" In the field, a thin old man under the old man could not use a shovel, and there was one less worker than Liu Tietou's men, and he had one less fight on the first day.The old man was so anxious that his head was full of anger, and he said to the thin old man: "You get paid and leave, I have to change someone. It's not that I don't need you, it's that Liu Tietou is too crazy!" The thin old man cried and said: "I know I am not a material for being a 'Mike', but there is a famine in my hometown, and I went out to fight Hulong with my fellow villagers, and I want to have enough food for two days with the stone roller for grinding wheat." The old man's heart softened, and he asked him: "You said you can What do you do?" The thin old man said, "I'm a carpenter." The old man's eyes flashed, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" He asked him to make a "big head shovel" overnight, and there are two heads of a wooden shovel. When there is no wind, the other wooden shovels will not be able to exert force, and the straw will not be able to fly, but will fall with the grains.However, his shovel was whistling by the wind, blowing the straw flying all over the sky, and shaking the wheat grains like flowers falling from the sky.The "old crop muscle" who has been working in crops all his life is also dumbfounded.The grandfather rushed forward three times a day, and at noon on the last day, he finally caught up with Liu Tietou.When work was over at noon, both sides had only one mic left.

Jiaomai fried beans are the time when the hired workers are working hard. Grandma Lianzi followed her aunt and sister-in-law to help the cook in the backyard with three rolling pins as usual in previous years, and rolled out 30 catties of thin and long noodles with new wheat noodles.My aunt was cutting cucumber shreds, and my grandmother was pounding garlic with lotus seeds in the big stone mortar usually used to pound rice.The two groups of "Mai Ke" led by the grandfather and Liu Tietou want to have a full meal of garlic noodles rolled out of the new wheat noodles, and then play the last round of wheat.This is a shrewd boss coaxing employees to work hard at the critical moment.

Grandma Lianzi only thinks about the little ones.But she saw that the little man's eyes were swollen like two red lanterns, and the thin old man was holding him like a blind man.Last night, Xiao Daduer took advantage of the moonlight to grind the field, leaning on the whip, and fell asleep standing upright on the field, holding the rope in his hand.The big mangniu knew that he loved him, so he automatically pulled the stone roller in circles without him raising his whip to lead the way.Liu Tietou was waiting to see his joke, but Big Mang Niu pulled the end of the rope to wake him up.The old man used too much energy and was in a hurry. When he played during the day, his voice became hoarse.Liu Tietou deliberately plotted against him again, deliberately standing in his upper hand and flaunting the field, the raised broken wheat straw flew over the sidelines, and got into the old man's eyes, and when he rubbed them, his eyes became swollen.

Grandma Lianzi saw that he was blind, and almost smashed her finger with the stone pestle she was pounding garlic.Seeing that his eye was swollen to the point where only a thin line remained, the boss also said: "Oops, I lost one of my generals!" Then he said to my grandfather: "Don't worry, treat your eye first. Anyway, there is only one game left." Mai, even without you, we can fight until dark. No matter which side clears the field first, it will be considered a tie." As soon as the owner left, Liu Tietou knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "This is a partiality! Whoever has bad eyes is to blame who has bad eyes. I can't stand it, so I have to admit defeat!" The old grandmother said: "You have to admit defeat , you should admit defeat, he uses one less person than you!" Liu Tietou said: "Miss Lian, there are four people on both sides, and he has one person who can't be used. You can't blame the soldiers for being bad, you can only blame the general! The old lady wanted to rob him, but the aunt interrupted and said, "Let them fight on their own. We can't control the affairs of the venue. Just tell them to eat well, and it's nothing to do with us."

The old grandma picked up a big bowl of noodles, poured garlic juice, grabbed an extra handful of Nepeta, poured a spoonful of sesame sauce, and was about to take it to Xiao Daer, when Liu Tietou said: "Miss Lian and her Just like my father, he is also a eccentric!" The grandmother said, "I want to give him some eye drops, do you want some?" She handed the bowl to my grandfather and asked, "Do you know that I am Who?" The old man said, "Just by the sound of walking, 'chachacha', and the wind of 'swish', I know you are Miss Lian." The "Maike" laughed.Lianzi said: "What's so funny? Whoever laughs again will not eat the noodles I rolled!"

The old man had a big appetite, and he was still not full after eating three bowls of garlic noodles, but he couldn't see them. The "Maikes" snatched up the noodles as soon as they passed the cold water in the well, so he had to close his eyes and wait in a daze.Seeing this, Lianzi swiftly set up a griddle in the yard, and asked her sister-in-law to be her helper, and baked scallion pancakes with the new wheat noodles left over from rolling the noodles.As soon as one sheet was baked, Liu Tietou came over while eating garlic noodles, stretching out his hands to take the pancakes, Lianzi picked up the pancakes with a bamboo stick, and when he threw them into the sky, the pancakes swirled, from Liu Tietou The top of Tie Tou's head flew over, neither crooked nor slanted, and just landed in the small bamboo basket in front of Xiao Daba'er's face. "How can you be so greedy?" Lianzi scolded Liu Tietou, "Eating what's in the bowl, and grabbing what others haven't eaten!" Not long after, the pancakes swirled again and flew from Liu Tietou's head. past.Everyone is dazzled.Liu Tietou also felt bored, stepped aside and said, "Blessed be you!"

After Liu Tietou finished eating the garlic noodles, he took his subordinate "Maike" to rest under the shade of a tree.But the old man said: "The guys in the new field don't leave." Everyone said, what's wrong?The old man said: "There will be rain in the latter half of the day, so we can't rest for a while, we have to rush to grab the field." Everyone said, the sun is like a brazier on the head, where is the rain coming from?The grandmother Lianzi also said: "You can't see with your eyes, but you can still see the rain in the sky? You have a good rest!" The grandfather touched the shovel handle and said, "Touch it, the shovel handle is sweating." The shoulder pole ring was ringing, and he said, "Are you sweating when you touch the pole?" The thin old man touched the pole and said, "No, the pole is also sweating and damp!" Ant hole, see if the ants are moving?" The old lady ran to the paulownia tree, looked at the ant hole and shouted: "Oh, the ants are moving in a brigade!" The old man said: "The ants are moving, and it is raining heavily. Really I can't rest for a while, hurry up and play, I will share my wages today with everyone." Everyone said, why do you have the heart to ask for your wages?After eating the garlic noodles from the owner, you can't ask Mai to soak in the field!They all went to the field quickly.The thin old man said: "These days, I have learned some tricks from you, and I am half a person." The old man said to the thin old man: "You tell Liu Tietou that it is raining. he." Liu Tietou was lying under a tree and snoring, when someone woke him up, he was upset, he looked at the sky and said: "The sun is like a fire umbrella, that child is lying in the cool shade to rest his mind, ask others to carry the fire umbrella for him He can do it! Anyway, the boss has spoken, and it will be a tie!" He fell back to sleep again. But the old lady Lianzi is too busy here.The aunt said that Xiao Da'er's eye disease can only be cured by soaking willow leaves in water.The old grandma said: "I need to go up the tree, I need my big feet, don't call me crazy!" She went up the tree to pick willow leaves, soaked willow leaf water, and pretended to say to her aunt "Auntie, go wash your eyes." The aunt said, "You didn't see that I was making noodles, and I have to steam twenty catties of noodles at night." The old grandmother said to her sister-in-law again: "Sister-in-law, Go and wash that baby's eyes." The sister-in-law said, "Didn't you see that I was feeding your little nephew? You go, we can't make our father lose this general." The old grandma thought to herself, I can't wait! The old lady Lianzi was holding a pot of willow leaf water, and found the little one in the thatched shed after turning around.Xiao Da became dizzy with a fever, and was lying on the mat with his mouth open and gasping for breath.The old lady mustered up her courage, and as soon as she touched his forehead, which was like a pancake-like pancake, she hurriedly brought a basin of cold well water, rinsed a towel in the water, and put it on his forehead; He poured Liu Ye'er water on his eyes.Little Dabao was lying flat on the ground, she was having trouble standing or squatting, and seeing no one was around, she just knelt on the mat, bent down, blew into his eyes, and said, "Little Dabao My son, is it okay for me to cure your eye disease?" The little one was snoring, drowsy and motionless.She bit off a section of wheat stalks, propped up his swollen eyelids, pinched the willow leaves to flush water into his eyes, and pouted her lips to blow into his eyes.Wisps of warm, bewitching and enchanting breeze passed over the bloodshot pupils, the breeze shook its tail, the willow leaf water surged, and a piece of wheatgrass with hidden murderous intent slipped from under the eyelids. rushed out; and dislodged a grass seed in the other eye.Lianzi held the wheat awns and grass seeds, spat at them, and flicked them far away with her fingertips, saying, "Why don't you hurt that person!" Then she took a towel and soaked the willow leaves in water, and soaked them in the small area. On a lot of eyelids.The little dad let out a long moan, and pulled his hand, touching the "small hill" on Lianzi's chest, a strange shudder suddenly occurred in her body, and blood rushed to her face. The wind picked up, and the northwest wind with the smell of rain shook the green leaves of the trees, and the big poplar trees moved forward and backward, making a sixteen-year-old girl's heart flutter.She wanted to do something for this big guy who was overwhelmed by fatigue and illness, but she didn't know what to do.Dark clouds and wind rushed in, and a snake-shaped lightning flickered in the sky, like a whip whipped on the head, and then a thunderbolt exploded rumblingly, she screamed in surprise, fell down, Clings to a broad, strong chest.Two purlin-like arms wrapped tightly around her waist.They seemed to be stunned by themselves, embracing each other motionless, waiting for the punishment from the sky.The raindrops as big as copper coins emitted white smoke "Puff", hitting the two hot and entangled human bodies. The person who called me my cousin said that my old grandmother is like a pink and tender dough, and it was just at such a sudden moment that the little big one kneaded it a few times before it fell apart; The raw melon balls immediately turned into juicy peaches, which were picked by our clinking poor old Zhang's family. The battle at the threshing floor ended with two victories for my old grandfather. Unwilling to admit defeat, Liu Tietou left without saying goodbye. At night, a figure slipped into the cattle house without making a sound, slipped in front of the cow trough, slipped out of the cattle house, and disappeared into the rainy fields.In the middle of the night, the Baihe River flooded.At dawn, the body of a big-headed man was fished up from the lower reaches of the Baihe River. People who knew him said, "If a piece of iron falls into the water, how can it not sink to the bottom!" At dawn, the big bull fell into the cow pen and poured foam, pouring out a puddle of blood.The old man's eyes had just subsided, and he hurried to the cattle pen.The cow leaned its head into his arms, spat out another mouthful of blood, and died with its eyes wide open.The bull's eyes are fixed on my grandfather.The old man cried while hugging the bull's head, and said, "It's still young, it has a grievance, and it hasn't bothered to leave a message for me!" When the cow was peeling the hide, the old man couldn't bear to watch, and hurriedly turned his back away, crying Said: "The problem lies in the stomach." A handful of steel needles were taken out of the cow's stomach, and a handful of steel needles were also found in the cow trough, mixed in the broken grass that the big cows could not finish eating.The old man said: "I won't say who this person is, anyway, he asked for water to eat." Since then, the grandfather has become a big way to get two wages.
