Chapter 9 Chapter VII

Chapter VII one Feng Waizuizi lived in the mill. Feng Waizuizi beat his clapper in the middle of the night, night after night.It's a little better in winter, but even worse in summer. The window of the mill faced the back garden of my house.On the walls around the back garden of my house, there are plants that can climb vines, such as pumpkins, zucchini or cucumbers; pumpkins have climbed up the walls and bloomed on the walls, and some of them have climbed over the high walls. Go to the street and open a fiery yellow flower towards the street. Therefore, the kitchen window is covered with cucumbers that can climb vines.The small vines of cucumbers are as thin as silver threads. When the sun comes, the slender vines shine brightly, and the tips of the vines are as clean as silk made of yellow wax. Countless such silks come out.The spiers of the silk vines turned around and curled back and forth, as if to say that although they are brave, big trees, weeds, walls, window lattices, and crawling everywhere, they are also fearful in the end.

As soon as the sun came out, those silk tendrils that were deserted at night became warmer.So they moved forward at a faster rate, as if watching the silk tendrils grow, they ran forward.Because the cucumber seedlings planted under the windows of the mill climbed up the window sill in one day, climbed up the window lattice in two days, and bloomed on the window lattice on the third day. A few days later, without paying attention, the cucumber stalk passed the window of the mill and climbed up to the roof. Afterwards, as if they were greeting each other, the cucumber seedlings covered the window of the mill together in groups.

From then on, the miller in the mill could not see the light of day.There was a window in the mill, and now it was covered with cucumbers.From then on, the mill was dark, and the garden and the garden were divided into two worlds. Feng Waizuizi was assigned to go outside the garden. But from the outside, the window is really beautiful, blooming and blooming, bearing fruit.The window is full of cucumbers. Another pumpkin seedling also climbed to the roof along the window of the mill, and grew a big pumpkin on the eaves.The pumpkin didn't seem to grow from the seedlings, it seemed to be moved by someone and sat on the roof tiles to bask in the sun.It's really nice.

In summer, when I was playing in the back garden, Feng Waizuizi called me, asking me for cucumbers. I picked the cucumbers and passed them in through the window.The window was tightly closed by the cucumber seedlings, Feng Waizuizi pushed aside the leaves that were full of the window with his hands, and stretched out his hand from a small slit to take the cucumbers in. Sometimes, he stopped hitting his clapper, and he asked me, how old is the cucumber?Are the tomatoes red?There is only one window between him and the back garden, as if it is closed. He talked to his grandfather when he was in the garden.He said that the little donkey who was pulling the mill had a broken hoof and was limping.Grandpa said to have a veterinarian look at it.Feng Waizuizi said, "I've read it, but it's not good."The grandfather asked what kind of medicine the donkey was taking.Feng Waizuizi said that he ate cucumber seeds mixed with sorghum vinegar.

Feng Wizuizi was in the window, and grandfather was outside the window. Grandfather couldn't see Feng Wizuizi, and Feng Wizuizi couldn't see grandfather. Sometimes, my grandfather went away and went back to the house, and I was left alone sitting and playing under the wall of the mill, and I heard Feng Waizuizi say: "The old man didn't go to the countryside this year to see what! " Sometimes, after hearing this, I purposely keep quiet and listen to what he has to say next. Sometimes, I felt ridiculous in my heart, and I couldn't help it, so I jumped up and knocked on the window with my hands, laughing so hard that I knocked off the cucumbers hanging on the window.Then I ran into the house quickly and told my grandfather about the situation.Grandpa is also like me, he can't stop laughing, tears come out of his eyes.But he always said, don't laugh, don't laugh, let's see what he hears.Sometimes my grandfather even closed the back door before laughing.Grandfather was afraid that Feng Waizuizi would be embarrassed if he heard it.

But the old cook is different.Sometimes, when he chatted with Feng Waizuizi, he deliberately slipped away halfway through the conversation.Because Feng Waizuizi couldn't see him leaving through the window covered with cucumber seedlings, so he said a long speech by himself, and then let him deliberately not get any response. The old cook went to the backyard to pick eggplants with a basket, and while picking them, he talked to Feng Waizuizi. Halfway through the conversation, the old cook tiptoed away with the basket in hand, and went back to the house to cook. up. At this time, Feng Waizuizi was still in the mill and said loudly: "There is a circus in West Park. I haven't had time to watch it yet. Have you seen it? Old Wang."

In fact, there was no one in the back garden. The dragonflies and butterflies flew around carelessly, and the voice of Feng's wry mouth fell into the garden empty-handedly, and then disappeared empty-handedly. The smoke has subsided. When he found that Lao Wang was no longer in the garden, he started to play the clapper again and watched the little donkey pull the mill. There was a second uncle who talked with Feng Waizuizi, but he never sneaked away. He asked whether the roof of the mill was leaking badly on a rainy day?Are there many mice in the mill? Feng Waizuizi also asked the second uncle, is there a lot of rain in the back garden this year?Eggplants and Yundou are about to leave the garden, right?

After the two of them finished talking to each other, the second uncle asked Feng Waizuizi to walk around the back garden, and Feng Waizuizi asked the second uncle to sit in the mill. "Come and take a walk in the garden when you have time." "Come and sit in the mill when you have time." So the second uncle said goodbye and came out of the garden.Feng Waizuizi continued to hit him with his clapper. In autumn, the leaves of the big elm tree turned yellow, the foxtail on the wall dried up, and the garden became desolate day by day. At this time, Feng Waizuizi's window was also exposed.Because those entangled cucumber seedlings also withered and failed, abandoning the window lattice and falling off.

So standing in the back garden, you can see Feng Waizuizi, and you can see the little donkey pulling the mill through the window.The little donkey had its ears pricked up and was wearing a blindfold.After walking three or five steps, the donkey snorted once, and every time it lifted its hind leg, it limped a little. Every time it stopped, the little donkey stood on three legs. Feng Waizuizi said that the donkey's leg was broken. Once the cucumber seedlings on the window are gone, Feng Waizuizi in the mill can see it every day. Feng Wizuizi drank, Feng Wizuizi fell asleep, and Feng Wizuizi beat the clapper.Feng Wizuizi played the huqin, Feng Wizuizi sang the libretto, Feng Wizuizi turned the windmill.As long as you lean on the window sill, you can see everything.

In autumn, when the fresh sticky rice comes, Feng Waizuizi grinds it once every three days and sticky cake every two days.Yellow rice sticky cake, sprinkled with daikon beans.One layer of yellow, one layer of red, the yellow is golden, and the red is bright red. One piece of three copper plates, and one piece of two copper plates are sold by cutting with a knife.Those who are willing to add brown sugar have brown sugar, and those who are willing to add white sugar have white sugar.There is no extra charge for adding sugar. As soon as Feng Waizuizi pushed the unicycle on the street, a large group of children followed behind, some bought it with money, and some watched it.

My grandfather likes this sticky cake best, my mother likes it too, and I like it even more.Mother sometimes asked the old cook to buy, and sometimes asked me to buy. However, there are only a few of them when you buy them. One person can only eat one piece as big as the palm of your hand. While eating, my grandfather said that enough is enough, which means that I am afraid that I will eat too much.After my mother finished eating, she said it was enough, meaning that I was afraid that I would still buy it.In fact, I really don't think it's enough, and I think eating two more yuan is not too much! However, after others said this, I had no other choice, and I was embarrassed to yell to buy it again, but the truth was that I didn't have enough. When I was playing outside the gate, Feng Waizuizi, who was pushing a unicycle, always cut a piece of that big sticky cake for me to eat, so I accepted it. When I was playing in the yard, Feng Waizuizi yelled "sticky cake" and "sticky cake" and passed by the big wall, and I climbed up the top of the wall. Because of the section of earth wall on the southwest corner, there was a hole in it after a long time, so I looked out from the wall.Sure enough, Feng Waizuizi pushed the sticky unicycle from far to near.When he came to my side, he asked, "Do you want a piece?" And I don't say eat, and I don't say don't eat.But I didn't get off the wall either, and just stayed there as if nothing had happened. Feng Waizuizi stopped the car, cut a piece of sticky cake and brought it up. When winter comes, Feng Waizuizi goes out almost every day to sell a pot of sticky cakes. When making this sticky cake, you need a big pot with boiling water in it, and a bamboo curtain on the pot mouth.Sprinkle the crushed yellow rice flour on the bamboo curtain, sprinkle a layer of flour, sprinkle a layer of beans.Feng Waizui sprinkled it in the mill, making the room steamy.When I went in to buy sticky cakes, as soon as I opened the door, I heard the crackling of matches in the room, but I couldn't see anyone. When I go to buy sticky cakes, I always go earlier, and I wait there, waiting for the hot ones to come out of the pan. The steam in that room was so strong that no one could be seen.Every time I open the door.I said, "I'm coming." As soon as Feng Waizuizi heard my voice, he said, "Come this way, come this way." two Once my mother asked me to buy sticky cakes, and I was a little late.The sticky cake is out of the pan. I bought it in a hurry and came back.When I got home, I saw something was wrong.My mother asked me to buy the one with white sugar, but the one I bought back was with brown sugar.I didn't pay attention at the time, and when I got home, I realized I was wrong. Wrong, I ran back to change again.Feng Waizuizi cut a few more slices and sprinkled them with sugar. I took the sticky cake, and when I was about to take it away, I turned around and saw a cloth curtain hanging on Feng Waizuizi's small kang. I thought it was something, so I ran over to have a look. I stretched out my hand and lifted the curtain, and looked inside, ah!There is also a child inside! I turned around and ran home, and when I got home, I told my grandfather that a woman from someone’s family was sleeping there on Feng’s crooked kang, and there was a child under the woman’s quilt, and the child was still showing the top of his head. The child's head is still red! Grandpa felt puzzled after hearing this for a while, so he said let me eat the sticky cake, it will be cold after a while, and it won't taste good. But where can I eat it.I think this is really funny, there is not only a little donkey in the mill, but also a child. I didn't even eat the sticky cake that morning, so I put on my fur hat again and went to have a look. This time, Feng Waizuizi was not in the house, I don't know where he went, and the sticky cake probably didn't sell it, and the cart pushing the sticky cake was still thrown beside the millstone. As soon as I opened the door and went in, the wind blew away the white cloth curtains, the woman was still lying there, and the child didn't cry. I looked around the room, and there was no change in the sides of the room, just A brass basin was placed on the millstone, and a little rag was soaked in the copper basin. The water in the basin had frozen, and the rest remained unchanged. The little donkey lived in the mill room during the winter, and the little donkey was still standing there, with his eyes closed as usual.The windmills, cabinets, and millstones in the rest of the mill stayed there as usual, and even the mice under the wall came out and ran around as usual, and the mice chirped as they ran. . I watched it for a while, but I couldn't see why, and felt very boring.When I was about to turn around and come out, I found a clay pot, which was bulging like a small iceberg on the edge of the kang.Then I remembered how cold the room was, and immediately felt like shivering, too cold to stand on my feet.I took a closer look and saw that the window leading to the back garden also had a big hole, and the roof of the tile-roofed house also showed the blue sky. I opened the door and ran away. When I got home, the stove was burning red, and the heat was blowing into my face as soon as I entered the door. I was about to ask my grandfather whose child was in that mill.At this time Feng Waizuizi came from outside. Wearing his four-eared hat, he smiled before speaking, and it was Feng's crooked mouth. He came into the room, and sat on the grandmaster's chair next to his grandfather, which was covered with a thick red-haired serge cushion. Feng Waizuizi sat there, seemingly speechless.The right hand kept rubbing the chair cushion, and the left hand kept pulling his left ear.He looked like he laughed before speaking, and he laughed for a while without saying a word. The stove in our house was so hot that it burned his face red.He said, "Master, I have something to discuss..." Grandpa asked him what happened? Feng Waizuizi sat on the grand master's chair squirming, took off his dog fur hat, and played with it in his hand.Before he could speak, he laughed first, and after laughing for a long time, he finally said a word: "I have become a family." Tears welled up in Feng Waizuizi's eyes, and he said, "Please help the old man, they are in the mill right now! They have no place to live." When I heard this, I quickly grabbed it and said to my grandfather, "Grandpa, it's cold in that mill! The earthen pots on the edge of the kang are frozen and cracked." Grandpa pushed me aside, as if he was thinking.I said again: "Then there is a child sleeping on the kang!" Grandpa agreed to let him move to the house with grass at the south end of the mill to live temporarily. Feng Waizuizi immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, thank you." While talking, tears came to his eyes again, and then he put on the dog fur hat, and left with tears in his eyes. As soon as Feng Waizuizi walked out of the house, my grandfather turned around and said to me: "It's not easy for you to talk in front of a human being." I was only six or seven years old at the time, and I didn't understand what it meant, so I asked my grandfather, "Why aren't you allowed to say it, why aren't you allowed to say it?" Grandfather said: "Didn't you see that Feng Waizuizi's tears were about to fall? Feng Waizuizi was embarrassed." I thought there was something to be ashamed of, I don't understand. three At noon, there was a quarrel in Feng Waizuizi's mill. Feng Waizuizi stood beside the millstone without saying a word, and his shopkeeper held a cigarette bag and cursed in front of his eyes. Is this mill room the place where your dirty wild wife lives!" "Are green dragons and white tigers also women can charge!" "Feng Waizuizi, since I don't get rich, I will settle accounts with you; what are you, are you still a human being? You have no face. If you have face, you can still get a wild wife into the big face. Come under people's eyelids...you get out of here..." Feng Waizuizi said: "I'm going to ask them to move, so I will move..." The shopkeeper's wife said: "Tell them to move, I don't know what they are. I told you to get out, you have ruined people... As she said that, she looked at the kang: "Oh! The noodle pocket is also covered by your wild wife! Take it off for me quickly. I said Feng's crooked mouth, you have spoiled me so much. You have ruined me Bitter." The newborn child was sleeping covered with a noodle sack, four or five sheets of which were thickly pressed against his little face. The shopkeeper's wife shouted nearby: "Take it down for me, take it down for me quickly!" Feng Waizuizi went over to take off the noodle bag, and immediately revealed the child's little red hand, which was still stretching and shrinking, and after shaking it a few times, he began to cry. When the child cried, snow-white gas came out of the child's mouth. The shopkeeper's wife took the dough bag into her hand and said, "I'm freezing to death, you move it quickly, I don't have time to quarrel with you..." After speaking, he opened the door and shrank his shoulders and ran back to the upper room. The owner of Wang Si's shopkeeper is Feng Wizuizi's owner. He invited his grandfather to the upper room for tea. We sat on the kang in the upper room, and while we were cooking a charcoal brazier, we heard the cry of the child in the mill. Grandpa asked me if my hands were warmed?I said it wasn't warmed yet, but my grandfather said, "It's warmed up, let's go home." When I came out of Shopkeeper Wang Si's house, I also said that I would go to the mill to have a look.Grandpa said, there's nothing to worry about, just watch it when you get home and warm up. There is no heat and cold meter in the mill, but I have it in my house.I asked my grandfather: "Grandpa, what temperature do you think the mill is?" Grandfather said below zero. I asked, "How much below zero?" Grandfather said: "If there is no cold and heat watch, how would you know!" I said, "How much below zero?" Grandfather looked at the sky and said, "It's seven or eight degrees below zero." I became happy, and I said: "Oh, it's so cold! Isn't that the same as the outside temperature?" I lifted my feet and ran home, the well platform, the water trough next to the well platform, the big stone roller next to the well platform, the big glass windows of Lao Zhou’s house, the big tall chimney in my house, when I ran quickly, I saw They are all moving, and they all seem to be moving backwards.I ran faster and faster, as if it was not I who was running, but the house and the chimney were running. I am so mysterious that I run as fast as the wind. I think the temperature in the mill is below zero, isn't it equal to the open air?What a joke, the house is the same as the open field.The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous I became, and the happier I became. So he ran home even yelling. Four In the second half of the day, Feng Wizuizi moved the child to the thatched shed at the south end of the mill. The child was crying loudly, as if he was not just born, as if he had grown up. There was so much noise in that thatched cottage, I wanted to go and see it again. This time the woman sat up, with a quilt on her body, her long braid hanging down her back, facing inward, sitting on a pile of grass, she didn't know what she was doing, when she heard the door knock, she turned her head.I can see that she is the eldest girl of the old Wang family who lives in the same courtyard as us. We all call her Sister Wang. This is strange, why is it her?She almost startled me when she turned around. I turned around and wanted to run home.Run home so I can tell my grandfather quickly, what the hell is going on? When she saw it was me, she smiled at me first. She has a big face and a very pointed nose. Every time she smiles, there are a bunch of wrinkles on the bridge of her nose.Today her smile is still the same as before, and the bridge of her nose is full of wrinkles. Usually, when the vegetables in our backyard were too much to eat, she would carry a basket to our backyard to pick some eggplants, cucumbers, etc., and go home.She is a person who can talk and laugh very well, and she is a very loud person. When she meets others, she asks others: "Have you eaten yet?" That sound was loud, as if a magpie had landed on the roof. Her father drove the cart, and she led the horse to the well to drink water. She fetched water faster than her father, and three rounds and two rounds made a bucket.When other people saw it, they said, "This girl will be a good hand in starting a family and starting a business in the future!" She picks vegetables in the back garden of my house, and when she leaves, she often folds a horse snake cauliflower and puts it on her head.The grass covered the meadow and fell asleep. The more I looked at it, the more amusing it became, as if a child was sleeping in a magpie's nest. In the evening I told my grandfather all about what I had seen. Grandfather said nothing.But I could see that my grandfather knew more than I did.I said, "That child is still covered with grass!" Grandpa said: "Yeah!" I said, "Isn't that Miss Wang?" Grandpa said, "Yeah." Grandpa didn't ask anything, and he didn't seem to listen to anything. At night, under the kerosene lamp, when all the people in my family gather, it will be lively!Talk and talk.That said, Miss Wang is like that.That's what Miss Wang said... After all, it's out of shape. It is not a good thing to say that Miss Wang is so bad, so bad. It must not be a good thing to say that she speaks so loudly.There are girls in every family, who talk a lot. A second uncle said: "It's a good girl who fell in love with a miller in a mill. What year is it?" The old cook said: "Men should be thick and strong, and women should be delicate. I have never seen a girl who looks like a big man (anti-worker)." The second uncle went on to say, "That's right! The master is like the master, and the concubine is like the concubine. Haven't you visited the temple on April 18th? The master in the temple of the master is majestic, and the concubine in the temple of the concubine is gentle." Elegant." The old cook said again: "How can there be such a thing, the girl is so strong, she can fetch water, and she has more strength than a man. I have never seen it, the girl is so strong." A second uncle said: "After the calculation, he is poor in bones and flesh. She doesn't look at the one in silk and satin. She falls in love with a gray and bald miller. Wu Dalang is really playing with ducks, who is playing?" What a bird." The next day, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Miss Wang had given birth to a child. On Wednesday, my grandma came to my house to inquire about it, and my mother said that it was in the thatched shed and asked her to see it. she says: "Yo yo! I don't have that much time to see it, what a good deal." Mrs. Yang from the west courtyard also came after hearing the wind.He wore a large blue cloth shirt that was starched and shone brightly, with a silver square button on his head, and a cupronickel ring on his hand. As soon as she entered the room, her mother told her that Feng Waizuizi had a son.Mrs. Yang quickly said: "I'm not here to find out about their cats and dogs. I'm here to ask whether the interest of Guanghe Bank is increased by 10% or 80%? The boy sent a letter saying that his father-in-law wanted to give a relative tens of thousands of coins." After speaking, she sat there solemnly. My house was too hot, and Mrs. Yang's face turned red when she entered the room.Mother hastily opened the ventilation window to the north. As soon as the ventilation window was opened, the crying of the child in the thatched shed was heard, and the crying was very loud. "Listen," said the mother, "this is Feng Waizuizi's son." "What's the matter? I don't think Miss Wang is a good person, so I said, that girl will not get better in the future." Mrs. Yang said, "The girl suddenly disappeared a few days ago, so I asked her mother,' Where have you girls gone?' Her mother said, 'Go to her grandma's house.' After going away for so long and not coming back, I feel a little strange." The mother said: "Miss Wang often cried in summer, and her eyes were red from crying. Her mother said that she had a bad temper and was angry with her mother when she quarreled." Mrs. Yang hugged her shoulders and said: "Angry, so angry, I have lost my face today, why didn't I die of anger. That girl is not a good thing, look at her eyes, how big! I I told you a long time ago that this girl is not going to get better." Then he whispered in his mother's ear for a while, and walked away talking and laughing.I probably forgot her original intention of coming to my house.She came here to ask about the interest of the Guanghe Bank, but she never mentioned the Guanghe Bank until she left. Mrs. Yang, Grandma on Wednesday, and the people in the powder room who lived in the same courtyard, none of them did not say that Miss Wang was bad. It is said that Miss Wang's eyes are not good, that Miss Wang's strength is too great, and that Miss Wang's braids are too long. Fives (As soon as this incident happened, people in the whole courtyard gave Ms. Wang a commentary, a biography, and a diary for her. (The biographer said that she was raised at her grandmother's house since she was a child, and she was with boys all day long, neither male nor female. One day she actually injured her cousin with a burning fork. Another day scratched Dafeng, she secretly ate up more than twenty duck eggs of her grandmother at one time. Another day she was picking water chestnuts in the ditch, and she picked few water chestnuts herself, so she poured other people's water chestnuts into her basket. Just say she picked it. It is said that she is extremely tyrannical, and no one dares to argue with her. Once she argues, she will scold and beat her with a raised hand. (The person who wrote her bio said it as if she had seen it before, saying that on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, on the day of the new year, Miss Wang beat her grandmother because her grandmother gave her less meat. Fight, and ran home. "Look, how greedy her mouth must be." (Thus, all the people listening around laughed. (The person who wrote the biography of Miss Wang did indeed collect a lot of materials. Since the death of the reunion daughter-in-law, the courtyard seemed to be lonely for a long time. Although it can't be said to be very lively now, everyone always tries their best to promote it.Although it doesn't dance to the gods and drums, it should always give everyone a little bit of fun. (So ​​those who blow the wind, keep an eye on the line, and run the line, absolutely worked tirelessly. In the night when there was heavy white snow, they just wore leather hats and big felt boots, and stood outside Feng Waizuizi's window. The purpose of waiting is to eavesdrop on some news. If I can hear a little bit, even a little bit as big as a pinhole, it will not be in vain to freeze, so that it can be used as propaganda material for the next day. (So ​​in the first few days under Feng Waizuizi's sect, there were actually quite a few visitors standing around. (These visitors are often uneducated, and they are most fond of spreading rumors. (For example, the old cook in my family went out to visit for a while, and when he came home, he reported: "It's cold in that thatched shed! It's like Wufenglou, the child is silent, probably frozen to death, go and watch the fun!" (The old cook is waving his hands and feet, he is very happy. (After a while he put on the dog fur hat again, and he went to visit again, this time he reported: "Damn it, it's not dead, the child hasn't frozen to death yet! It's still suckling in mother's arms .” (The place where this news happened was only fifty steps away from my home, but after the visits by the interviewers, the original appearance of the matter changed greatly. (Some saw a piece of rope on Feng Wizuizi's kang, so they rumored that Feng Wizuizi was going to hang himself. (The stimulation of "hanging himself" really gave people a lot of power. Women put on hoods and men put on felt boots. I don't know how many people are going to visit here, or are planning to visit. (Old Yang’s family in the west courtyard has more than 30 members, not counting children, if counted, there are 40 members. Just to say that if these thirty people all came to see Feng Waizuizi who hanged himself, wouldn't it overwhelm my little thatched hut!Let’s just say that some of the old and sick people in his family cannot come, let’s say that at least ten people can come.Then there are ten from the old Yang’s family from the west courtyard, and three from the old Zhou’s family from the same courtyard—Grandma on Wednesday, Aunt on Thursday, and Aunt Zhou—plus, Aunt on Thursday is holding a child in her arms, and Aunt Zhou is holding a child in her hand—are they there? This kind of habit - then there are three generations of the Zhou family, old and young, and finally there are five members. (There are also powder makers in the mill, those who burn fire, those who run the streets to deliver goods, etc., I can’t count how many people there are at the moment, in short, there are no less than twenty or thirty people in the whole courtyard. On the street, as soon as they heard the news, a lot of them inevitably came. ("Hanging yourself," why is a good person willing to "hang himself" instead of living? Go and see it, it must be interesting, so go and see it. (Besides, it’s good to keep your eyes open, anyway, you don’t go to the circus, and you have to spend money and buy tickets. (So ​​whenever someone jumps into a well or hangs himself in the city of Hulan River, there will be a lot of people watching the excitement. I don’t know if this is the case in other parts of China, but it is the case in my hometown. (The woman who threw herself into the river was salvaged, but she was not buried in a hurry, and she was placed there for a day or two for everyone to watch. (The woman who jumped into the well was fished out of the well, and she was not buried in a hurry, nor was she buried in a hurry, like a national product exhibition, full of bustle and bustle. (Actually, there's nothing interesting about that, if Feng Waizui hanged himself, wouldn't it be scary to see it! (There are some timid women who cannot sleep for three days and five nights after seeing those who threw themselves into rivers and wells. But But the next time, when there is such a wronged soul, she will still go to see it, and when she comes back, she will feel that bad impression is in front of her eyes, so she can't sleep well and eat badly.But if you don’t read it, you can’t do it. You still have to read it for the third time. Even after you read it, you feel horrible in your heart. Then you buy another piece of yellow money paper and a bundle of incense sticks and burn it at the crossroads. He kowtowed three heads to Da Dao, and said at the same time: "Don't go to me, evil spirits and wild ghosts. I have sent you all the incense sticks here." (Some girls from other families were frightened to death when they came back to see the hanged man. It is said that not only the hanged man, but also the man who jumped into the well were scared to death. A sickness caused by fright can be cured by thousands of doctors. He couldn't be cured, and later died. (But people are still willing to look at it. Men may be particularly courageous and not afraid. Women are much more timid, and they all look at it at first glance. (There are also children, women also bring them to see, they have not grown into a person, the mother has brought them long ago, maybe in this busy world, it is better to practice a little earlier, so as not to be confused with them in the future Jumping into a well and hanging yourself is too unprofessional. (Some interviewers learned that Feng Waizuizi bought a household vegetable cutting knife from the street, so they let it go that Feng Waizuizi wanted to kill himself.) six Feng Waizuizi didn't hang himself, didn't commit suicide, he was still alive and well.After a year, his child grew up. When my family slaughtered pigs during the Chinese New Year, Feng Wizuizi even came to my house to help, helping to shave the pig hair. In the evening, after he ate and drank, when he was about to go back, his grandfather told him to take some big steamed buns with him, and he carried the steamed buns in his waist and left. People laughed at Feng Waizuizi, saying: "Feng Wizuizi has a young master." Feng Waizuizi usually does small things for my family, such as grinding half a bucket of beans to make small tofu, or pushing two buckets of high-quality red sticky rice to make sticky cakes. My grandfather always invites him to come to my house for dinner.At the dinner table, in front of everyone, the old cook said, "Feng Waizuizi, please eat two steamed buns less, and save the steamed buns to take to the young master..." Feng Waizuizi was not embarrassed when he heard it, and he didn't think it was a mockery of him. He said solemnly: "He has food at home, and he has food at home." After eating, the grandfather said: "Let's take a few!" Feng Waizuizi picked up some steamed buns, where should they put them?Put it in the waist, the steamed bun is too hot.Put it in the sleeve for fear of falling. So the old cook said, "You put it in the hood!" So Feng Waizuizi went home with a steamed bun in his hood. If someone in the east or west has a wedding or wedding, and Feng Wizuizi is also at the banquet, as soon as the meatballs are served, others will say: "Feng Wizuizi, you can't eat these meatballs, do you have a young master in your family?" ?” So the people said, and took out Feng Wizuizi's share of the two meatballs with chopsticks, and put them in a small plate next to Feng Wizuizi.When the braised pork came, the same was done, and when the dried fruit plate came, the same was done. Feng Waizuizi didn't feel ashamed at all. After the banquet was over, he wrapped it in a towel, brought it home, and gave it to his son to eat. seven (His son is also like an ordinary child, teething at seven months, crawling at eight months, walking at one year, and running at two years.) In summer, the child didn't wear any clothes, only wearing a flower pocket, catching toads in the puddle in front of the door.His mother sat in front of the door and embroidered a flower pocket for his stomach.His father played the clapper in the mill and watched over the donkey pulling the mill. Eight Two or three years later, Feng Waizuizi's second child was about to be born.Feng Waizuizi was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Outside, someone asked him: "Feng Waizuizi is going to have a son again?" He hehehe.He deliberately calmed himself down. When he was at home, as soon as he saw his woman carrying a big basin, he said, "What are you doing, why don't you ask me to carry it!" He saw his woman holding a bundle of firewood, and he stopped her in the same way: "Can't you let me get it!" But Miss Wang is getting thinner and paler every day, her eyes are bigger and her nose is more pointed.Feng Waizuizi said that after eating a few more eggs and nourishing them well, the body will get better. His house is happy, Feng Waizuizi hung a curtain on the window.This white cloth is newly bought from a shop.Feng Waizuizi's window had not been hung with curtains in three to five years, and this was the first time. Feng Waizuizi bought two catties of new cotton, several feet of flowery foreign cloth, and twenty or thirty high-quality eggs. Feng Waizuizi was still grinding as usual, and Sister Wang cut out flowery foreign cloth to make small clothes. Twenty or thirty eggs are placed in small baskets and hung on the second beam.Every time a door or window is opened, the little basket is wandering high above. A load of eggs came to the door, Feng Waizuizi said: "You are not in good health, I think you should eat more eggs." Feng Waizuizi wanted to buy some more every time, but was stopped by the child's mother.Feng Waizuizi said: "You haven't raised your body since you gave birth to this child. What's the point of eating a few more eggs! I can sell a few more catties of sticky cakes. " As soon as his grandfather visited his house, Feng Waizuizi told his grandfather this set of words.He said: "That person is frugal. He doesn't even want to burn a single piece of firewood to live. If he wants to have a child, he won't eat an extra egg. Just watch, he will make a fortune in the future..." Feng Waizuizi was very proud when he finished speaking. Nine As soon as July is over, the August crows come. In fact, the crows have already come in July, but not as many as in August. The evening glow in July is as red as fire, and there are strange things, such as tigers, big lions, horse heads, and groups of dogs. These clouds are gone in August.The sky full of red holes, the sky full of golden yellow, the sky full of crimson, and the sky full of cinnabar-colored clouds are all gone. No matter morning or evening, the sky will no longer have them, and you will never see them again. up. The sky in August is quiet and naked.The black clouds of June and the red clouds of July are gone.Once in August, there is no rain, and neither is the wind.The day is the golden sun, and the night is the snow-white moon. The weather is a little cold, and people are wearing jackets. After dinner, there were no more people enjoying the shade.院子里显得冷清寂寞了许多。 鸡鸭都上架去了，猪也进了猪栏，狗也进了狗窝。院子里的蒿草，因为没有风，就都一动不动地站着，因为没有云，大昂星一出来就亮得和一盏小灯似的了。 在这样的一个夜里，冯歪嘴子的女人死了。第二天早晨，正遇着乌鸦的时候，就给冯歪嘴子的女人送殡了。 乌鸦是黄昏的时候，或黎明的时候才飞过。不知道这乌鸦从什么地方来，飞到什么地方去，但这一大群遮天蔽瓦的，吵着叫着，好像一大片黑云似的从远处来了，来到头上，不一会又过去了。终究过到什么地方去，也许大人知道，孩子们是不知道的，我也不知道。 听说那些乌鸦就过到呼兰河南岸那柳条林里去的，过到那柳条林里去做什么，所以我不大相信。不过那柳条林，乌烟瘴气的，不知那里有些什么，或者是过了那柳条林，柳条林的那边更是些个什么。站在呼兰河的这边，只见那乌烟瘴气的，有好几里路远的柳条林上，飞着白白的大鸟，除了那白白的大鸟之外，究竟还有什么，那就不得而知了。 据说乌鸦就往那边过，乌鸦过到那边又怎样，又从那边究竟飞到什么地方去，这个人们不大知道了。 冯歪嘴子的女人是产后死的，传说上这样的女人死了，大庙不收，小庙不留，是将要成为游魂的。 我要到草棚子去看，祖父不让我去看。 我在大门口等着。 我看见了冯歪嘴子的儿子，打着灵头幡送他的母亲。 灵头幡在前，棺材在后，冯歪嘴子在最前边，他在最前边领着路向东大桥那边走去了。 那灵头幡是用白纸剪的，剪成络络网，剪成葫椒眼，剪成不少的轻飘飘的穗子，用一根杆子挑着，抗在那孩子的肩上。那孩子也不哭，也不表示什么，只好像他抗不动那灵头幡，使他抗得非常吃力似的。 他往东边越走越远了。我在大门外看着，一直看着他走过了东大桥，几乎是看不见了，我还在那里看着。 乌鸦在头上呱呱地叫着。 过了一群，又一群，等我们回到了家里，那乌鸦还在天空里叫着。 ten （冯歪嘴子的女人一死，大家觉得这回冯歪嘴子算完了。扔下了两个孩子，一个四五岁，一个刚生下来。） 看吧，看他可怎样办！ 老厨子说：“看热闹吧，冯歪嘴子又该喝酒了，又该坐在磨盘上哭了。” 东家西舍的也都说冯歪嘴子这回可非完不可了。那些好看热闹的人，都在准备着看冯歪嘴子的热闹。 可是冯歪嘴子自己，并不像旁观者眼中的那样地绝望，好像他活着还很有把握的样子似的，他不但没有感到绝望已经洞穿了他。因为他看见了他的两个孩子，他反而镇定下来。他觉得在这世界上，他一定要生根的。要长得牢牢的。他不管他自己有这份能力没有，他看看别人也都是这样做的，他觉得他也应该这样做。 于是他照常地活在世界上，他照常地负着他那份责任。 于是他自己动手喂他那刚出生的孩子，他用筷子喂他，他不吃，他用调匙喂他。 喂着小的，带着大的，他该担水，担水，该拉磨，拉磨。 早晨一起来，一开门，看见邻人到井口去打水的时候，他总说“去挑水吗！” 若遇见了卖豆腐的，他也说一声：“豆腐这么早出锅啦！” 他在这世界上他不知道人们都用绝望的眼光来看他，他不知道他已经处在了怎样的一种艰难的境地。他不知道他自己已经完了。他没有想过。 他虽然也有悲哀，他虽然也常常满满含着眼泪，但是他一看见他的大儿子会拉着小驴饮水了，他就立刻把那含着眼泪的眼睛笑了起来。 他说：“慢慢地就中用了。” 他的小儿子，一天天的喂着，越喂眼睛越大，胳臂，腿，越来越瘦。 在别人的眼里，这孩子非死不可。这孩子一直不死，大家都觉得惊奇。 （到后来大家简直都莫名其妙了，对于冯歪嘴子的这孩子的不死，别人都起了恐惧的心理，觉得，这是可能的吗？这是世界上应该有的吗？） 但是冯歪嘴子，一休息下来就抱着他的孩子。天太冷了，他就烘了一堆火给他烤着。那孩子刚一咧嘴笑，那笑得才难看呢，因为又像笑，又像哭。 其实又不像笑，又不像哭，而是介乎两者之间的那么一咧嘴。 但是冯歪嘴子却欢得不得了了。 他说：“这小东西会哄人了。” 或是：“这小东西懂人事了。” （那孩子到了七八个月才会拍一拍掌，其实别人家的孩子到了七八个月，都会爬了，会坐着了，要学着说话了。冯歪嘴子的孩子都不会，只会拍一拍掌，别的都不会。） 冯歪嘴子一看见他的孩子拍掌，他就眉开眼笑的。 他说：“这孩子眼看着就大了。” 那孩子在别人的眼睛里看来，并没有大，似乎一天更比一天小似的。因为越瘦那孩子的眼睛就越大，只见眼睛大，不见身子大，看起来好像那孩子始终也没有长似的。那孩子好像是泥做的，而不是孩子了，两个月之后，和两个月之前，完全一样。两个月之前看见过那孩子，两个月之后再看见，也绝不会使人惊讶，时间是快的，大人虽不见老，孩子却一天一天地不同。 看了冯歪嘴子的儿子，绝不会给人以时间上的观感。大人总喜欢在孩子的身上去触到时间。但是冯歪嘴子的儿子是不能给人这个满足的。因为两个月前看见过他那么大，两个月后看见他还是那么大，还不如去看后花园里的黄瓜，那黄瓜三月里下种，四月里爬蔓，五月里开花，五月末就吃大黄瓜。 但是冯歪嘴子却不这样的看法，他看他的孩子是一天比一天大。 大的孩子会拉着小驴到井边上去饮水了。小的会笑了，会拍手了，会摇头了。给他东西吃，他会伸手来拿。而且小牙也长出来了。 微微地一咧嘴笑，那小白牙就露出来了。
