Chapter 7 Marble (excerpt)-4

Marble made no sound. Zhang Daer said again: "Old Ma, why have you been depressed recently? Don't you care about such a great era? For the Chinese people Don't you think it's the most glorious page in the history of the nation? Ma Bole still didn't make a sound, but smiled slightly and knocked the cigarette ash at the same time. Zhang Da Er is a relatively reckless person, he unceremoniously and irritably criticized Ma Bole . "I said, old horse, what's the matter with you? When I met you on the street a few days ago, you were not like this , At that time, you were angry, and you were walking on the street with national emotions and indignation.Because at that time others still

I can't see it, and I don't feel it much. It can be said that I don't feel that Shanghai has to become what it is today.really good , In less than a month, Shanghai has become what you predicted it is today. " Ma Bole made a painful smile with his sad eyes contemptuously. His big ears flicked his body on the ground with his toes, and he greeted Ma Bole miserably and sincerely: "Old Ma, have you suffered from lovesickness recently?" All of a sudden, Ma Bole was furious.He said: "What a fucking Chinese!" Marble thought: "This kid is such a bastard. When will the country come to this point?" But he didn't say it.

Open your ears and say: "I really can't understand, it would be bad if all the young people in China were like you. The first day was a pot of red charcoal fire , the second day is a gray-red charcoal fire, and the third day it turns into dead ashes.” Zhang Da Er is not a man of knowledge, nor is he a theoretician.at one point he was in the movie business After a period of time, he is not a director, nor an actor, and he does not get a monthly salary, but he is the same as the people there. People are friends.Smoke each other's cigarettes, hang out, play poker, study some actress' eyes

Look, what does a certain husband do, rich or not, a certain actress and a certain actor are talking about their relationship kind.At the same time, it cannot be said that Zhang Daer has not made any progress in the film industry. He has learned the indelible and eternal life. A kind of acting posture, that is, the "tremor" that he makes every step he takes to this day, that is that I learned it from time to time.At the same time, he also learned a lot of rare knowledge on the screen and on the stage; The name of the musical instrument, what is called "Kidar" and what is called "Balarak".But you can't say open your ears

At that time in the film circle, I didn’t read books. I also read books, but they were mostly about movies. " Movie Illustrated, or Hollywood.Actresses eagerly read those pictorials, look at Hollywood What kind of clothes are the female stars in Hollywood wearing? What is the latest style of female swimsuits in Hollywood? How much more modern than Shanghai.There is also the most important part about makeup, what color eye circles should be put on the eyes , which nails should be painted - which kind of varnish is good, dark pink or light pink?powder foundation for rubbing powder The most important thing is that the quality of the foundation is not good, which will affect the roughness of the skin. Once the skin is rough, people will look older.return

The voice and smile are also learned from the pictorial.Actors are also reading books similar to this. Therefore, a man with wide ears cannot be regarded as a learned person.But regarding the Anti-Japanese War, he is also the same as ordinary citizens The enthusiasm, because playing Japan in China is what everyone is asking for. Zhang Da’s ears yelled at Ma Bole angrily: "Old Ma, you are so depressed! Should Chinese youth be like this? You can't see your eyes. Is the light ahead?Did the Japanese cannon deafen you? " Ma Bole spoke this time, and he was very angry. "I'm fucking blind, can't I see? I'm fucking deaf, can't I hear? You think it's

You open your ears, your ears are bigger than other people's ears so you can hear!I heard it before you, you haven't I heard it, and I heard it.It can be said that I heard the Japanese cannon before it fired.You boy is so brave, run Here to bluff.If we don't see each other for three days, you'll be a hero!It looks like you are leading the fight against Japan . " While talking, Ma Bole laughed beside him with his ears wide open.Marble still said: "Do you know, The old horse is penniless now, and he is still watching the Huangpu River air battle!Big air battles cannot be eaten as food.Lao Ma is going to be a refugee

, the old horse is over! " Ma Bole sent Zhang Big Ears away, and it was getting dark.Marble thought: "Why are there so many people here today? Probably someone else will come!" He waited for some time, after all no one knocked on the door again.So he went to sleep. Two months after "August 13th", Ma Bole's wife went from Qingdao to Shanghai. Before the person arrived, it was Ma Bole who received the telegram in advance. During these two months, Ma Beile was so poor that his legs were as thin as crane legs!his neck Like a giraffe.Stretched out far away.

He has never eaten fried rice with eggs.His house has long been retired.He moved to Xiao Chen's place and lived with Xiao Chen. rise.Xiao Chen is malnourished with a sallow face.On the other hand, Ma Bole's face was swarthy, probably due to a loss. due to sleep. The two of them lived together in a pavilion. There was no floor in the pavilion, but cement floor.the two of them Li Du was spread out on the cement floor. Ma Bole's luggage was so dirty that even the pillows and quilts were all dusty, almost like cement. too much.But Xiao Chen's is worse than his, Xiao Chen's sheets have turned black, and Xiao Chen's pillows are so dirty that they shine

oily. Ma Bole's luggage had only been unwashed for more than two months, not yet three months.But Xiao Chen's behavior Lee unwashed but in more than half a year. Xiao Chen's pillow looks like it's made of cowhide, it's bright and hard, and it's also very strong. Although Ma Bole's pillow was already dirty enough, it was better than Xiao Chen's, and he still hadn't lost The original shape of the pillow.But Xiao Chen's pillow has completely changed. I can't tell what it is. It is bright and hard. Like a little pigskin drum. It stands to reason that this small pavilion belongs to the two of them, and they should manage it together.but the fact

Otherwise, the two of them don't care about each other. During the day, both of them went out, the window was open, and it started to rain, which wet all their quilts .And after it got wet, it was soaked in water for the next half a day.At night, the two came back to have a look: "What shall we do? Where shall we sleep?" Their house is like a rectangular cardboard box, which can only accommodate two pieces of luggage, and a little more is useless. Can't let go of anything.It is a pair of leather shoes that the two of them wore on their feet, and they took them off at night. Sometimes, there is no proper place to put it.Put it on top of your head, and that leather shoe has a smell.put aside, turn over in sleep I'm afraid it will be crushed.It is placed under the feet and cannot be stretched out.Their house is so exquisite, and a delicate like a small paper box. It was raining that day, and the ground and luggage were wet.The two of them stood outside the door looking at each other. (solid The size of the room cannot hold two people standing up at the same time, only when they are sleeping It can only accommodate your own luggage. ) "What to do about this?" Both of them thought so, and neither of them started to move, or to pull the luggage, or to wipe the "floor dry. " The two of them didn't complain about each other, Ma Bole didn't say that Xiao Chen was wrong, and Xiao Chen didn't complain about Ma Bole either.as if this It's rain from God, who can be blamed?No one is to blame.When the two of them looked at each other, they were still smiling. of.It was as if the terrible thing before them belonged to a third party, not to the two of them.if according to the horse Bole's character, if everything is about him, it will be very serious; but no, now it's not about him , but the two of them. That night, the two of them curled up on the wet cement floor like two worms.push luggage on On one side, he slept on the cement floor all night. For one night, both of them were safe and sound, without any intention of blaming each other. Sometimes I sleep until it rains in the middle of the night.Raindrops poured in through the window and onto Ma Bole's feet. Feet slipped under the sheets.It splashed on Xiao Chen's feet, and Xiao Chen also got his feet under the quilt.Marble no Get up and close the window, but Xiao Chen doesn't get up and close the window.One term kept hitting the raindrops.It's very strange that someone is in the luggage When I went to sleep, the luggage was wet from the rain, as if the person sleeping on the luggage was not a human being. So neither of them manages the house of the two of them.Like closing the windows when it rains If Ma Bole gets up and closes it, he must be very wronged, because this window is not his window alone. "If Xiao Chen is closed, Xiao Chen will also be wronged, because this window is not Xiao Chen's window alone.if two people It is impossible to close a window together, like two people holding a teacup together.then Just let it go, let it go. As for the luggage being wet, it is not the luggage that gets wet alone, but two people who get wet together. wet.As long as two people are together, it is not wronged. Xiao Chen is too poor to save a penny.After two years of auditioning from college, he failed to find employment.looking for the first year Before he got a job, he still regretted that he didn't really go to college.Later, he saw a lot, and those who graduated from college did not There are also many occupations.So he stopped fantasizing and settled down in Shanghai casually.live sometimes Go to friends' places, and sometimes rent a house by myself.Although he has no income, he also sucks Cigarettes, tie and shoes, and eating every day, and going for a walk in the park when I was full. These behaviors are dangerous, and in Ma Bole's view, they are very terrible. How could a person pass today without What about tomorrow?If there is no food tomorrow, wouldn't it be starving to death? So when Xiao Chen invited him to watch a movie, he was very worried about him. "You ran out of money today, what will you do when it's time for dinner tomorrow?" Xiao Chen didn't listen to this, but bought the ticket confidently.Although Ma Bole was afraid for Xiao Chen, he followed him Get into the theater seats. Originally, Ma Bole was richer than Xiao Chen.Xiao Chen went to a friend's place to dig up a piece or two, and it was always much higher than that. Xing, he greeted Ma Bole and went to eat steamed stuffed buns and mutton. He couldn't settle down until he had spent all his money. Not so with Marble.If he borrowed money from a friend's place, it would be as if he had not borrowed money, and others would not be able to see it. When he came out, he put the money in his pocket, he walked the same way, he ate and slept the same, nothing special Performance.Even Xiao Chen often couldn't see him. Since Ma Bole moved to live with Xiao Chen, he has never invited Xiao Chen to watch a movie.He put all the money When I got up, there were already more than ten yuan in total.Now that Marble has read his wife's telegram, from the pavilion When I came out, I ran downstairs and went to the barber shop. Sitting in front of the big mirror in the barbershop, Ma Bole sat majesticly, wearing a long skirt from the neck down. Big white apron.He thought, tomorrow will be different from today, everything will be no problem tomorrow, and today's work He had his hair cut, he took a shower, he hurried to buy a new shirt to put on, his socks needed to be changed, and his leather shoes needed to be polished. Ma Bole closed his eyes, his hair was finished. The man waiting for the haircut shaves him. His face was lathered all over, and after five minutes of silence, he was shaved off. He opened his eyes and saw that he was beautiful, but he didn't recognize himself. When he thought about it, he realized that he hadn't had a haircut for three months. During these three months, what a terrible life I lived, walking around the street by myself during the day, and coming back like a dog at night He curled up on the floor and fell asleep without a sound.Wind and rain, no one knows.Walking down the street today, Ming If the sky is dead, no one will know.Is this how people live in the world?Is it all the same, save It is the same whether it exists or not.If the news of the death reaches the family, the father and mother will just cry a lot, sad For a few months, after a year or two, forget it. It was only when someone mentioned it that he remembered that he had such a son before.They will eat and sleep as usual, Live a normal life, what kind of clothes to wear and what to eat throughout the year, everything is the same as usual.World Who remembers such a person? Ma Bole saw that the person in the big mirror was clean and beautiful. Ma Bole now is not the same as yesterday. personal.Because of the disgust in his heart, Ma Bole is very jealous of himself now.He said to himself: "Haven't you starved to death? You are a dead dog, you were... you died in the gutter, you died No one cares about you, do whatever you want. " The next day he picked up his wife in a tentatively reserved room in the hotel. His wife asked him: "Paul, why is your complexion so yellow!" Ma Bole immediately shed tears, he bit his lip, he wanted to restrain it so much but couldn't, he turned his face Turn around and look at the framed price list hanging on the wall in the hotel.He was not looking at the price list, but I wanted to use this to forget the sorrow, but it was of no use for a long time.The life in the dark house; the one who eats fried rice with eggs Life; the face of asking someone to borrow money, but they don't lend him; he wrote to his wife, but she ignored it Ma Bole remembered everything about those days. He didn't recover until his wife touched his shoulder and said many words of comfort. At night, he went back to Xiao Chen and moved his luggage to the hotel.At the hotel, the wife unpacks the luggage Take a look and say: "Oh, Paul, where did you live and how did you get into this?" Ma Bole felt sad for a while, but almost didn't shed tears. Ma Bole was depressed that night. Marble covered himself with the fluffy and soft quilt that his wife had brought from home.Although I lived in a third-class hotel, I don't know how many times better than Xiao Chen's place. It's an iron frame bed with curtains hanging on the bed. The bed board is brown and stretched. It is elastic, and it is many times softer than Xiao Chen's cement floor.The pillow is new from home brought by my wife Yes, white and clean. Ma Bole let out a long sigh as soon as he put his head on the pillow, as if the pillow had given him infinite sadness .He touched the edge of the quilt with his hand. The white quilt was very dry, and it seemed to have a fragrance. The wife told him a lot about the family.After hearing this, Ma Bole hummed and agreed.his eyes Eyes are full of tears at any time, as if in deep thought.Now his eyes looked at the bedstead, now he turned his eyes Look straight at the top of the tent.His hands also seemed to have nowhere to put them, either touching the side of the quilt or pulling the bed frame , or just knocking on the bed frame with your fingernails. The wife asked him if he wanted tea? He just nodded slightly. The wife brought him the tea, which he took.He took it for a while and didn't put it in his mouth to eat.he's great Like thinking about something and trying to forget.The meeting between him and his wife was like reuniting after a broken mirror, he was happy, he was Sad, he is grateful, he is painful, he is lonely, he is full and empty.his There were tears in his eyes, and as long as he didn't stop him for a moment, the tears would flow down. The wife asked him: "How much money did you bring with you when you came to Shanghai?" Marble shook his head. The wife said again: "Father said you had more than two hundred yuan with you?" Ma Bole shook his head again and smiled slightly. The wife said again: "If you know that you really don't have much money, even if my father doesn't give it to me, I can always give it to you if I think of a way." You send some. " Ma Bole smiled again, his eyes were sparkling and filled with tears. The wife quickly asked him: "So how much do you have with you?" "I didn't bring much. When I arrived in Shanghai, I only had 30 yuan left." Upon hearing this, the wife hurriedly said: "No wonder, you kept urging me letter after letter. Three months later, it's hard for you to do anything for the thirty yuan." came here? " Ma Bole smiled slightly, and tears rolled down from those smiling eyes.He quickly grabbed too Tai's hand, and then gently pressed her face onto the pillow.There was a perfumed smell on the pillow that made him shudder. A strange feeling, as if he had been away from home for years.Infinite torture, infinite pain in the world, as if he I've tried it all. The next morning, the first place Ma Bole went to was Fanwang Ferry, which was the West Railway Station.The only one who goes to the Mainland One train station. (The trains connecting Shanghai to the mainland only had the West Railway Station two months after the Anti-Japanese War. Because the South Railway Station , North Railway Station have become enemies. ) Ma Bole asked about the ticket price at the ticket office, and asked whether the five-year-old child was half-ticket or not. He planned to go to Nanjing first, and then transfer from Nanjing to Hankou.Hankou had his father's friends there.but this I haven't talked to my wife about the matter, because my wife has just arrived, let her rest in the hotel for two days, rest well It's never too late to talk.So he hasn't talked to his wife yet.If we talk about it, my wife will not disagree. Ma Bole felt that his wife treated him much better than when he was at home this time, she was very gentle and considerate much.The wife has become younger, and the wife seems to have returned to the time when she was just married. She is very docile and very gentle. Be patient, if I mention going to Hankou to my wife, my wife will not disagree.So Marlborough arrives at the station first Go find out.Marble thought: "Everything must be prepared." He has made inquiries and is wandering around the station, intending to take a closer look. When he gets on the train in the future, Save temporary unfamiliarity.He had to see the direction clearly first, so as not to bump into things temporarily. At this moment, a Japanese plane came in the sky.Everyone clamored that the Japanese planes were here to bomb the station.At So people ran around. As soon as Ma Bole heard the sound of a real plane, he ran in the direction of the British Concession.he hasn't run away yet After a few steps, the plane came overhead, and people squatted down immediately.It was three reconnaissance planes that passed by together, and there was no There are bombs thrown. But looking at the platform from a distance, the station really looks like ants have overturned the pot, a group of noisy ants A pile of ground, where a sea of ​​people shouted. Marble kept seeing those people get on the train again and saw the car drive. He thinks he will be the same soon, and will also be carried by such a crowded train to a strange place he has never been to. to go.There will start a new life and adapt to the new environment.The new is the unknowable, the new It is difficult to grasp what is new. Ma Bole watched the train smoke away, walking very slowly and making no noise.It seems that the car is too full Yes, it seems to be unable to move.Maybe it will pull those fleeing people halfway to the wilderness and outskirts Just throw them there, and leave them there. Ma Bole sighed, turned around and walked back.He remembered that his wife might be waiting for him to eat!then He immediately called for a rickshaw, and after more than twenty minutes, he ran up the stairs of the hotel. The wife came out of the room with a washbasin, her hands covered in soap scum.She intends to go to the balcony to clear herself Wash the little clothes of the children who have been soaped.Seeing that her husband came back, she didn't go, and brought a bag full of The basin of soap scum returned to the room. The three children in the room rolled into a ball.The older David, with his anemic complexion, small eyes, and two Like a date stone, he was jumping on the bed with his shoes on.The second child, Joseph, had a round little face, matching his The same as my mother, but my nose is full of snot all day long.The third child is Jager, and Jager is very good.mother too Love her, and my father loves her too.She doesn't cry all day long, she's only three years old, she's very fat, she looks like Joseph's age , although Joseph was two years older than her.Joseph is five years old. David is nine years old. David, a child, was studying in school and was punished to stand.Once home, put As soon as the schoolbag was put away, I ran into the kitchen. When I ran into the kitchen, I said to my mother first: "Mom, I didn't make a stand today." Mom hurriedly had to say: "What a good boy... what do you want to eat?" "I want fried rice with eggs!" Like his father, David also likes to eat fried rice with eggs. Mom asked him: "Would you like to add a little green onion to the egg fried rice, or would you like to add a little dried shrimp?" David says: "Mom, which one do you think is better? I also want chopped green onion and dried shrimp, okay?" "You can't add chopped green onion if you add dried shrimp." Mom said, "Dried shrimp is from the sea, it is seafood. Eggs are from chicken." On the body, it is another kind of smell.Eggs and dried shrimps are two flavors.If chopped green onion is added, it will have three flavors up.If there is too much flavor, it should be meaty.That's not tasty.I think it's just scrambled shrimp with eggs. " David hugged his mother's lap and made a fuss, like a three-year-old child, muttering in his mouth So, he must eat all three together, He said he didn't mind being nasty. Mother pushed him away a little and said: "Good boy, don't make trouble. Mom will cut you a little ham and put it on. Doesn't David just like ham?" Mother took out a pinch of shredded ham that had been cut by the cook and was ready to go on the stove, and cut it on the vegetable pier with a knife. top cut.David stood next to his mother, and directed his mother to chop up a little bit, and asked her to cut more. Even when they were frying, David was watching from the side, and he said: "Mom, add more lard, lard is delicious!" Mom took an iron spoon and mixed a half iron spoon in the lard jar.Because too much lard was put in, the rice was bright Like pearls, one by one. If his mother is not at home, David will not eat fried rice with eggs.The rice cooked by the cook is not delicious, the cook is not like Ma So obedient, he can add as much lard as he is asked.The cook doesn't listen to David's words, the cook scrambles eggs and fried rice , How much oil, he has his own rules.David didn't dare to go around and mess around.The cook stared at the iron spoon A scrape, David is very scared.So he only likes the rice fried by his mother. David hardly even eats any vegetables, just fried rice with eggs is enough. Fried rice with eggs is difficult to digest, and people with stomach problems must not eat it.People with bad teeth absolutely cannot eat have to.Rice is hard to digest, and with so much lard added, oil is the most disturbing stomach. When David was six years old, it was time for him to lose his teeth.His teeth can't chew anything though , but he still eats fried rice with eggs every meal.The rice grains were swallowed into the mouth, and it was impossible to swallow without chewing. His mother looked at him very pitifully, I just made some soup for him, and then took a spoon, one spoon at a time, and the mother helped the child put the whole rice grains Swallowed it whole into David's stomach.His mother couldn't stop saying: "I'm sorry for my David. Make a little more soup, will you?" David's stomach problem is serious.Mom often secretly gave him Epsom salts. Why did she want to give it happily?Just because my grandfather didn’t believe in medicine, my grandfather believed in the Lord Jesus, no matter who When you are sick, you are not allowed to take medicine, and you are specially asked to pray before God.Also because David's father also did not believe For medicine, when the children get sick, they buy biscuits for them to eat. So whenever David took the medicine, he was like a thief. Every time I finished eating the Epsom salts, David kept the box of Epsom salts by himself, that is, my mother used some Epsom salts occasionally. When it came time to ask for salt, he had to ask David.David loves medicine, which is why he doesn't only believe in God like his grandfather , nor like my father who bought biscuits as soon as he got sick. David is about the same height as his younger brother even though he is nine years old this year because of stomach problems.so about Joseph looked down on his brother. When his relatives and friends saw him, they all praised Joseph, saying that Joseph had caught up with his brother.joseph's legs thicker than my brother's legs.Because Joseph did not recognize his brother conceptually, he often fought against David, and he Wei fell to the ground, and then rode on him, asking David to beg for mercy, and then he let him go, asking David to call him a general, He was willing to let him go. That is, the two of them eat the same meal at the same time. As soon as the rice is put into the rice bowl from the cauldron, Joseph will first He chose one bowl first, and the remaining bowl belonged to his brother.If my brother does not listen to him, If he went up and grabbed a bowl first, he would immediately go over and grab the rice bowl and throw it on the ground, smashing the rice bowl to pieces. So my brother always let him. Mother looked at it and greeted David: "David's coming to Mom..." Then whispered into David's ear: "After a while, Mom will make fried rice with eggs for you, not for Joseph." So David is the best with mom. David is in school, and the math problems sent by the teacher are all given by the mother at home.mom always Poor David.David is getting thinner every day.Mom is afraid that he will be tired, so she often helps him a little, even every In the handicraft class at one o'clock on Saturday, David also asked his mother to use colored paper for him in the air to decide on his teacher. The pagodas, carts, and lotus flowers are all pre-folded and put in the schoolbag.wait until in class, really When Mr. Zheng was in front of him, David had no choice but to hold a piece of paper and pretend to fold it back and forth.Mr. go away far, he stopped.As soon as Mr. walked to the side, he was very busy gesticulating.I stayed like this until the end of get out of class end.As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, David jumped up from his chair and hurriedly sent the tower or car that his mother had made up to the to the side of Mr. This one-hour handicraft class, which was longer than a day, was very unbearable for David.Often after a manual class After that, David was so sleepy that he yawned and shed tears. The teacher stood on the podium and roughly read the grades handed in by the students. David was very frightened at this time, because he was afraid that his husband would find out that his handicrafts were not made by himself. So David developed a very timid habit in school.Mr. was speaking on the podium when suddenly the voice rang At one o'clock, David turned pale with fright, thinking that the teacher was greeting him and punishing him to stand.just in the yard Walking in the park, a classmate came from behind and patted him on the shoulder. David also trembled in fright, thinking it was a classmate hitting him again. David is very neurotic, smart and alert.In this regard, he is the same as his father Ma Bole. David likes to commit crimes very much. He waits in the kitchen and watches his mother cook rice for him.As soon as the old cook got out of the kitchen In the room, David immediately stretched out his hand and touched the clean cucumber for a while.The old cook turned around and came back Yes, David turned pale with fright.When the old cook was away, David reached out and grabbed a handful of shredded cabbage and chewed it in his mouth. Others may think that David likes to eat cabbage the most.In fact, it is not the case. When it is time to eat, put it on the table. The cabbage is ignored.As I said before, David only eats fried rice with eggs, and he doesn't like vegetables at all. When David is alone, he always looks through other people's things.In school, if he comes the most Early in the morning, he always secretly opened other people's desks to see shredded paper, peanut skins, and he knew that there was nothing there. It’s so beautiful, but it’s impossible not to look at it. He’s the only one left, how can he not look at it! At home, when his mother and father were not at home, and Joseph was not there, he would open the drawers and hang the clothes The box, met with knives, scissors, etc., held in his hand, and went to the edge of the table or sharpened the leg of the chair.hit the filigree Take the thread or something, just hold it in your hand and knead it into a ball.He also knows that there is nothing in the suitcase that he can take out to play. things, but he had to rummage for a while, because he was the only one, so what would he do without rummaging?wait a minute mom , Dad comes back, can't you turn it over?Isn't it just not allowed to turn over? If he came across Joseph's schoolbag, if Joseph was not by his side, he would have to open it for him.he wants to see him when What you cannot see with Joseph's face.In fact, every time he opened it, there was nothing surprising.but don't let Can he open it? Isn't Joseph not around?What's the point of not sneaking around to see? Only when dealing with little Jager, David didn't have to bother too much, he never had to look at her things with pleasure, because Because Jager is too small, it is easy to be fooled.When David finished his own portion of peanuts, he asked for Jacques's, He just said: "Jage, Jager, look at a butterfly flying on the roof." While Jacob was looking at the roof of the shed, he grabbed more than half of her peanuts. Originally, there were no butterflies on the roof, but Jage was fooled. Later, when Jacob was a little older, she discovered how her brother bullied her, so whenever she ate something When she was in the west, as soon as David passed by her, she quickly held the thing down and cried: "Mom, here comes David!" As if David were a cat, the sister was terrified of him. David's position in the family was that the cook hated him, his mother pitied him, Joseph beat him, and his sister was afraid of him. In the school, he was punished to stand every day. Ma Bole's eldest son is such a child. Mabel's second son, Joseph, has no similarity to Mabel's in character.he is brave , like a valiant warrior, walking, patting his chest; talking, stretching his thumbs; looking straight ahead, like the eyes of a calf.He has burnt yellow hair.Grandpa likes him the most, says his hair is foreign The hair of Chinese children is golden hair. The golden hair described in the Bible is so beautiful. What kind of wife should Joseph marry when he grows up? Woolen cloth?Grandpa used to say: "We Joseph will have to marry a foreign wife." Joseph was only five years old, and he didn't understand what the words meant. He could only see that his grandfather's eyes and voice were very strange. love him.So he nodded.Seeing Joseph doing this, the whole family laughed. Joseph is a kindergarten student, and is accompanied by his mother every day, and accompanied him back. Even when playing on the grass, Mother Terrier dared not leave him for a minute, as soon as she left him, he would beat her Other children, like beating David at home.Sometimes he pushes other children down and sits beside them On the contrary, he is not afraid even if he is older than him.In short, no matter who he is, if he is upset, he will hit him. One day He broke the nose of a little girl, and she bled a lot. Back home, Mommy told Grandma that Joseph broke someone's nose in school. Grandfather heard it, and was glad he said: "Boys must be able to fight! Joseph will definitely be an official in the future." In the evening, the mother of the child whose nose was broken came and said that her child's nose was inflamed and swollen Get up, come to discuss with them, whether to go to the hospital. When Joseph's grandfather heard this, he said quickly: "No, no, no, no. God is the one who heals all evil." So the grandfather knelt down to God, and he prayed devoutly for a while for the child with the broken nose. Then he stood up and asked the mother: "Are you a man of God too?" She replied, "No." "No wonder your child's nose bleeds easily, and that's because you don't believe in God. No Misfortunes are especially plentiful for those who believe in God. " The grandfather taught the mother for a long time, and then the mother withdrew. The grandmother saw that the woman was very poor, and wanted to give her something, besides, Joseph beat her again, and the grandfather did not Xu, just let her go downstairs. At this time Joseph came from his mother's room. When his grandfather saw Joseph, he didn't ask him why he was in school. What breaks people?just say: "Joseph, little hero, what will you do when you grow up?" Joseph pulled his grandfather's beard and said: "Grow up and become an official." As soon as he said it, he tore off several of his grandfather's beards. Grandfather smiled and sighed: "This kid is really terrible. Before he became an official, he pulled out his grandfather's beard; if he really became an official,... return him Oh shit……" Joseph had climbed onto his grandfather's lap and was sitting there, clapping his hands triumphantly. When guests came, the grandfather called Joseph first.Ask him the first sentence: "What did Joseph grow up to do?" Joseph said: "Grow up and become an official." The guests who came all praised Joseph.It is said that Joseph has a thick head and a thick head, with big ears and straight eyebrows. A son is a sign of wealth and honor, and he must be a general.For sure, this kid has been extraordinary since he was a child. Seeing that he has a whole body Jin, what a lively child.See how wide his forehead is, how puffy his skull is, how bright his eyes are.Will It's either Guan Gong or Yue Fei. Now that the five-year-old said that he would grow up to be an official, everyone laughed.especially grandpa who laughs the best It seemed that he was very confident as he shaved his beard with his hands, and felt that others’ compliments on Joseph were not too much. In fact, if Joseph walked on the road alone, others would never recognize this child named Joseph. He must be an official in the future.Not only on the road, no one came to praise him, even in the kindergarten, no one came to praise him. He has received special praise, not only has no one specially praised him, but sometimes he has been specially judged.Said Mayose This child is savage, it is said that this child is violent, that he is difficult to educate, that he is spoiled by nature, and that he will be very dangerous in the future. Now compare the good and bad comments about Joseph, and there is a huge difference, neither fish nor fowl. Joseph was a high-ranking official in front of his grandfather; when he separated from his grandfather, he would be said to be a rascal. Lay off. 约瑟之所以了不起，现在来证明，完全是祖父的关系。 祖父并没有逼着那些所来的客人，必得人人赞美他的孙儿，祖父并没有这么做 ，而是那些人们自己甘心愿意这么做。好像那些来的客人都是相面专家，一看就看 出来马老先生的孙儿是与众不同的。好像来到马家的客人，都在某一个时期在街上 摆过相面的摊子的，似乎他们做过那种生意。不但相法高明，口头上也非常熟练， 使马老先生听了非常之舒服。 但其中也有相术不佳的。大卫在中国人普遍的眼光里，长得并不算是福相。Can 是也有一位朋友，他早年在德国留过学，现在是教友会的董事。他是依据着科学的 方法来推算的，他推算将来大卫也是一个官。 这个多少使马老先生有些不高兴，并不是自己的孙儿都当了官马伯乐的父亲就 不高兴的，而是那个教友会的董事说的不对。 大卫长的本来是枣核眼睛，那人硬说枣核眼睛是富贵之相。这显然不对，若枣 核眼睛也是富贵之相，那么龙眼、虎眼，像约瑟的大眼睛该是什么之相了呢？这显 然不对。 总之马老先生不大喜欢他这科学的推算方法。 所以那个人白费了一片苦心，上了一个当，本来他是打算讨马老先生的欢心的 ，设一个科学推算法，说他的孙儿个个都当官。没想到，马老先生并不怎样起劲。 于是他也随着大流，和别人一样回过头来说约瑟是真正出人头地的面相。He said: “约瑟好比希特拉手下的戈林，而大卫则是戈倍尔，一文一武，将来都是了不 起的，不过，文官总不如武官。大卫长得细小，将来定是个文官。而约瑟将来不是 希特拉就是莫索里尼。 " 说着顺手在约瑟的头上抚摸了一下。约瑟是不喜欢别人捉弄他的，他向那人踢 了一脚。The man said again: “看约瑟这英雄气概，真是不可一世，还是约瑟顶了不起，约瑟真是比大卫有 气派。约瑟将来是最大的大官，可惜现在没有了皇帝，不然，约瑟非做皇帝不可。 看约瑟这眼睛就是龙眼，长的是真龙天子的相貌。 " 约瑟的祖父听了这一番话，脸上露出来了喜色。那个人一看，这话是说对了， 于是才放下心来，端起茶杯来吃了一口茶。 他说话说的太多了，觉得喉咙干得很，这一口茶吃下去，才觉得舒服一些。close 于约瑟，也就这样简单的介绍了一番。 雅格不打算在这里介绍了。因为她一生下来就是很好的孩子，没有什么特性， 不像她的二位哥哥那样，一个是胆小的，一个是凶横的；一个强的，一个弱的。and 雅格则不然，她既不像大卫那样胆小，又不像约瑟那样无法无天。她的性格是站在 她的二位哥哥的中间。她不十分像她的母亲，因为母亲的性格和约瑟是属于一个系 统的。她也不十分像她的父亲，因为父亲的脾气是和大卫最相像的。 以上所写的关于约瑟、大卫的生活，那都是在青岛家里边的情形。现在约瑟、 大卫和雅格都随着妈妈来到上海了。 马伯乐只有三个孩子，这三个孩子现在都聚在这旅馆的房间里。 前边说过，马伯乐是从西车站回来。他一上楼第一个看见的就是他的太太。too 太弄得满手肥皂沫，同时她手里端着的那个脸盆，也满盆都是漂漂涨涨的肥皂沫。 等他一进了旅馆的房间，他第一眼就看见他的三个孩子滚在一起。是在床上翻 着，好像要把床闹翻了的样子，铁床吱吱地响，床帐哆哆嗦嗦地在发抖。枕头、被 子都撕满了一床，三个孩子正在吱吱咯咯地连嚷带叫地笑着，你把我打倒了，我又 把你压过去，真是好像发疯的一样。马伯乐大声地招呼了一下： “你们是在干什么？” 大卫第一个从床上跑下来，畏畏缩缩地跑到椅子上坐下来了。而雅格虽然仍是 坐在床上，也已经停止了呼叫和翻滚。 惟有约瑟，他是一点也没有理会爸爸的号令，他仍是举起枕头来，用枕头打着 雅格的头。 雅格逃下床去了，没有被打着。 于是约瑟又拿了另外的一只枕头向坐在椅子上的大卫打去。约瑟这孩子也太不 成样子了。马伯乐于是用了更大的声音招呼了他一声： “约瑟，你这东西，你是干什么！” 马伯乐的声音非常之高大，把坐在椅子上的大卫吓得一哆嗦。 可是约瑟这孩子真是顽皮到顶了，他不但对于父亲没恐惧，反而耍闹起来。he 从床上跑下来，抱住了父亲的大腿不放。马伯乐从腿上往下推他，可是推不下去。 约瑟和猴子似的挂住了马伯乐的腿不放。约瑟仿佛喝醉了似的，和小酒疯子似 的，他把背脊反躬着，同时哈哈地笑着。 马伯乐讨厌极了，从腿上推又推不掉他，又不敢真的打他，因为约瑟的母亲是 站在旁边的，马伯乐多少有一点怕他的太太。马伯乐没有办法，想抬起腿来就走， 而约瑟正抱着他的腿，使他迈不开步。 太太看了他觉得非常可笑，就在一边格格地笑。 约瑟看见妈妈也在旁边笑，就更得意起来了，用鞋底登着马伯乐的裤子。 这使马怕乐更不能忍耐了，他大声地说： “真他妈的……” 他差一点没有说出来“真他妈的中国人”。他说了半句，他勉强地收住了。 这使太太更加大笑起来。这若是在平常，马伯乐因此又要和太太吵起来的。and 现在没有，现在是在难中。在难中大家彼此就要原谅的，于是马伯乐自己也笑了起 来，就像他也在笑着别人似的，笑得非常开心。 到了晚上，马伯乐才和太太细细地谈起来。今后将走哪条路呢？据马伯乐想， 在上海蹲着是不可以的，将来早晚外国是要把租界交给日本人的，到那时候可怎么 办呢？到那时候再逃怕要来不及了。是先到南京再转汉口呢？还是一下子就到西安 go?西安有朋友，是做中学校长的，到了他那里，可以找到一个教员的职位。otherwise 就到汉口去，汉口有父亲的朋友在，他不能不帮忙的。 其实也用不着帮什么忙，现在太太已经带来了钱，有了钱朋友也不会看不起的 .事情也就都好办，不成问题。 不过太太主张去西安，主张能够找到一位教员来做最好，一个月能有百八十块 钱的进款最好。而马伯乐则主张去汉口，因为他想，汉口将来必有很多熟人，大家 一起多热闹，现在已经有许多人到汉口去了，还有不少的正在打算去。而去西安的 ，则没有听说过，所以马伯乐是不愿意去西安的。 因为这一点，他跟大太微微有一点争吵。也算不了什么争吵，不过两人辩论了 几句。 没有什么结果，把这问题也就放下了。马伯乐想，不要十分地和太太认真，固 为大太究竟带来了多少钱，还没有拿出来。钱没拿出来之前，先不要和大大的意见 太相差。若那么一来，怕是她的钱就不拿出来了。所以马伯乐说： “去西安也好的，好好地划算一下，不要忙，做事要沉着，沉着才不能够出乱 son.今天晚上好好地睡觉吧！明天再谈。 " 马伯乐说完了，又问了太太在青岛的时候看电影没有。 上海的影戏院以大光明为最好，在离开上海以前，要带太太去看一看的。又问 太太今天累着没有，并且用手拉着被边给太太盖了一盖。 这一天晚上，马伯乐和太太没有再说什么就都睡去了。 第二天，一早起，这问题又继续着开始谈论。因为不能不紧接着谈论，眼看着 上海有许多人走的，而且一天一天地走的人越来越多。马伯乐本想使太太安静几天 ，怕太太在路上的劳苦一直没有休息过来，若再接着用一些问题烦乱她，或是接着 就让她再坐火车，怕是她脾气发躁，而要把事情弄坏了。但事实上不快及早决定是 不行的了，慢慢地怕是火车要断了。等小日本切断了火车线，到那时候可怎么办哪 !于是早晨一起来就和太太开始谈起来。 太太仍是坚持着昨天的意见，主张到西安去。太太并且有一大套理论，到西安 去，这样好，那样好的，好像只有西安是可以去的，别的地方用不着考虑，简直是 去不得的样子。 马伯乐一提去汉口，太太连言也不搭，像是没有听见的样子，她的嘴里还是说 : “去西安，西安。” 马伯乐心里十分后悔，为什么当初自己偏说出西安能够找到教员做呢？太太本 来是最喜欢钱的，一看到了钱就非伸手去拿不可，一拿到手的钱就不用想从她的手 里痛痛快快地拿出来。当初若不提“西安”这两字有多么好，这不是自己给自己上 的当嘛！what is this? 马伯乐气着向自己的内心说： “简直发昏了，简直发昏了。真他妈的！” 马伯乐在旅馆的房间里走了三圈。他越想越倒霉，若不提“西安”这两个字该 How nice!收拾东西，买了车票直到南京，从南京坐船就到汉口了。现在这不是无事找 something?He said: “看吧，到那时候可怎么办？” 现在，他之所谓“到那时候”是指的到太太和他打吵起来的时候，或者太太和 他吵翻了的时候，也或者太太因为不同意他，而要带着孩子再回青岛去也说不定的 时候。 太太不把钱交出来始终是靠不住的。 马伯乐在房间里又走了三圈，急得眼睛都快发了火的，他不知道要用什么方法 来对付太太。并且要走也就该走了，再这么拖下去，有什么意思呢？早走一天，早 利索一天。迟早不是也得走吗？早走早完事。 可是怎样对太太谈起呢？太太不是已经生气了吗？不是已经在那儿不出声了吗 ? 马伯乐用眼梢偷偷地看了一下，她果然生了气的，她的小嘴好像个樱桃似的， 她的两腮鼓得好像个小馒头似的。她一声不出的，手里折着孩子们的衣裳。马怕乐 一看不好了，太太果然生了气了。马伯乐下楼就跑了。 跑出旅馆来，在大街上站着。 满街都是人，电车，汽车，黄包车。因为他们住的这旅馆差不多和住在四马路 上的旅馆一样，这条街吵闹得不得了。还有些搬家的，从战争一起，差不多两个月 了，还没有搬完的，现在还在搬来搬去。箱笼包裹，孩子女人，有的从英租界搬到 法租界，有的从法租界搬到英租界。还有的从亲戚的地方搬到朋友的地方，再从朋 友的地方搬回亲戚的地方。还有的从这条街上搬到另一条街上，过了没有多久再从 另一条街上搬回来。好像他们搬来搬去也总搬不到一个适当的地方。 马伯乐站在街上一看，他说： “你们搬来搬去地乱搬一阵，你们总舍不得离开这上海。看着吧，有一天日本 人打到租界上来，我看到那时候你们可怎么办！到那时候，你们又要手足无措你们 又要号陶大叫，你们又要发疯地乱跑。可是跑了半天，你们是万万跑不出去的，你 们将要妻离子散地死在日本人的刀枪下边。你们这些愚人，你们万事没有个准备， 我看到那时候你们可怎么办？ " 马伯乐不但看见别人到那时候可怎么办，就连他自己现在也是正没有办法的时 候。 Marble thought: “太太说是去西安，说不定这也是假话，怕是她哪里也不去，而仍是要回青岛 的吧！不然她带来的钱怎么不拿出来？就是不拿出来，怎么连个数目也不说！she arrives 底是带来钱没有呢？难道说她并没有带钱吗？ " 马伯乐越想越有点危险： “难道一个太太和三个孩子，今后都让我养活着她们吗? 马伯乐一想到这里觉得很恐怖： “这可办不到，这可办不到。” 若打算让他养活她们，那是绝对办不到的事情。世界上不会有的事情，万万不 可能的事情，一点可能性也没有的事情，马伯乐自己是绝对做不到的。 马伯乐在街上徘徊着，越徘徊越觉得不好。让事情这样拖延下去是不好的，是 不能再拖的了。他走回旅馆里，他想一上楼，直接了当地就和太太说： “你到底是带来了多少钱，把钱拿出来，我们立刻规划一下，该走就走吧，上 海是不好多住的。 " 可是当他一走进房间去，太太那冷森森的脸色，使他一看了就觉得不大好。he 想要说的话，几次来到嘴边上都没敢说。马伯乐在地板上绕着圈，绕了三四个圈， 到底也没敢说。 他看样子说了是不大好的，一说太太一定要发脾气。因为太太是爱钱如命的， 如果一问她究竟带来了多少钱，似乎他要把钱拿过来的样子。太太一听就非发脾气 不可的。 太太就有一个脾气，这个脾气最不好，就是无论她跟谁怎样好，若一动钱，那 就没事。马泊乐深深理解太太这一点。所以他千思百虑，不敢开口就问。虽然他恨 不能立刻离开上海，好像有洪水猛兽在后边追着似的，好像有火烧着他似的。 但到底他不敢说，他想还是再等一两天吧。马伯乐把他满心事情就这样压着。 夜里睡觉的时候，马伯乐打着咳声，长出着气，表现得非常感伤。 他的太太是见惯了他这个样子的，以为也没有什么大不了的。马伯乐的善于悲 哀，太太是全然晓得的。太太和他共同生活了十年。马伯乐的一举一动太太都明白 他这举动是为的什么。甚至于他的一句话还没有说出来，只在那里刚一张嘴，她就 晓得他将要说什么，或是向她要钱，或是做什么。是凡马伯乐的一举一动，太太都 完全吃透了。比方他要出去看朋友，要换一套新衣裳，新衣裳是折在箱子里，压出 了褶子来，要熨一熨。可是他不说让太太熨衣裳，他先说： “穿西装就是麻烦，没有穿中国衣裳好，中国衣裳出了点褶子不要紧，可是西 装就不行了。 " 他这话若不是让他太太听了，若让别人听了，别人定要以为马伯乐是要穿中国 衣裳而不穿西装了。其实这样以为是不对的。 他的太太一听他的话就明白了，是要她去给他熨西装。 他的太太赶快取出电熨斗来，给他把西装熨好了。 还有马伯乐要穿皮鞋的时候，一看皮鞋好久没有擦鞋油了。就说： “黄皮鞋，没有黑皮鞋好，黄皮鞋太久不擦油就会变色的。而黑皮鞋则不然 ，黑皮鞋永久是黑的。 " 他这话，使人听来以为马伯乐从此不再买黄皮鞋，而专门买黑皮鞋来穿似的。 其实不然，他是让他太太来擦皮鞋。 还有马伯乐夏天里从街上回来，一进屋总是大喊着： “这天真热，热的人上喘，热的人口干舌燥。” 接着说话的一般规律，就该说，口干舌燥，往下再说，就该说要喝点水了。and 马伯乐不然，他的说话法，与众不同。He said: “热的口干舌燥，真他妈的夏天真热。 太太一听他这话就得赶快给他一杯水，不然他就要大大地把夏天大骂一顿。 ( 并不是太太对马伯乐很殷勤，而是听起他那一套罗里罗唆的话很讨厌。）太太若再 不给他倒水，他就要骂起来没有完。这几天的夜里，马伯乐和太太睡在旅馆的房间 里，马伯乐一翻身就从鼻子哼着长气。马伯乐是很擅长悲哀的，太太是很晓得的， 太太也就不足为奇，以为又是他在外边看见了什么风景，或是看见了什么可怜的使 他悲哀的事情。 比方马伯乐在街上看见了妈妈抱着自己的儿子在卖，他对于那穷妇人就是非常 怜借的，他回到家里和太太说：“人怎么会弄到这个样子！穷得卖起孩子来了，就 像卖小羊、小猪、小狗一个样。真是……人穷了，没有办法了。 " 还有马伯乐在秋天里边，一看到树叶落，他就反复地说： “树叶落了，来到秋天了。秋天了，树叶是要落的……”马伯乐一生下来就是 悲哀的。他满面愁容，他的笑也不是愉快的，是悲哀的笑是无可奈何的笑。他的笑 让人家看了，又感到痛苦，又感到酸楚，好像他整个的生活，都在逆来顺受之中过 went. 太
