Chapter 3 Chapter two

One morning in April, the little Japanese woman ran away.Xiaohuan got up to go to the toilet and found that the latch of the door was open.It was just dawn at that time, Xiaohuan couldn't guess who would go out so early.The snow was very thin last night, and the ground was light gray. Xiaohuan saw the footprints on the snow starting from the east room, went into the kitchen, circled around, and then stretched out the door.The parents of the second child and the little Japanese woman live in the North House. Xiaohuan went back to the house, woke up the second child, and said to him: "This little Japanese she-wolf has grown fat, so she ran away."

The second child opened his eyes.The second child never asks "what did you say?" He opens those camel eyes to the limit, which means he thinks you are talking nonsense, but he wants you to repeat the nonsense. "It must have run away! Your parents fed a Japanese wolf with good tea and food, and it was so smooth that it went back to the mountain." The second child sat up with a "huh".He didn't care that Xiaohuan was full of sarcastic remarks, saying that he was really greedy for that little Japanese woman, it seemed that she was quite young, and she was quite good at regulating a man's appetite.

The second child hastily put on the cotton trousers and jacket, and asked, "Did you tell my dad?" She just talks about herself.She said seven oceans and slept dozens of times, it was a hunchback lying on the rails, straight (worth it).There are several hotels run by prostitutes in the town, and the prostitutes charge several dollars a night! The second child made a fierce face, and said to her, "Shut up. It's snowing, what if someone freezes to death?!" As he spoke, he walked out the door, Xiaohuan shouted behind him: "In a hurry? Don't fall and knock your teeth out, you'll lose your temper by kissing!"

The second child's mother checked her things and found that the little Japanese woman took nothing but a few corn cakes.The clothes she was wearing were still in her pockets.They all remember that she carefully scrubbed and washed the Japanese trousers and jacket, and carefully ironed and folded them with the bottom of an iron teapot. At that time, she was preparing her luggage for escape.Throughout the winter, under the overwhelming snow, she did not freeze to death at the thought of running away. Stationmaster Zhang said: "This little Japanese lady doesn't care to wear our Chinese clothes. I don't think she will freeze to death!"

The second child's mother was holding the padded jacket with red background and blue flowers in a daze.After getting along for half a year, she treated her like a half-daughter-in-law, why is she so unfamiliar?On top of the red and blue patterned padded jacket, there were two pairs of new cloth socks, which were given by Xiaohuan, who gave them no favors.Stationmaster Zhang put on his hat and was about to go out.The second child also hurriedly put on his hat and put on his shoes, completely ignoring Xiaohuan, who was leaning against the door frame with a cigarette in his mouth, with a smirk on his face.The second child hurried out from her side, and she deliberately staggered to the side, her movements and expressions were very big, as if avoiding a big animal that had been knocked out of the stall.

Zhang Zhang and Er Hai followed the footprints to the entrance of the town, and the footprints merged into the wheel tracks of the carriage and mule cart.The father and son put their hands in their sleeves, not knowing where to look next.Finally, the two decided to split up to find.The second child was so angry that he turned his head and resented his parents: How could they find a loss to eat when they were full? !How much effort did the family spend on a half-dead Japanese woman?How many times did their family quarrel because of her?Now the child is nowhere to be seen, his second child will have to listen to harsh words for the rest of his life, and Zhu Xiaohuan will take care of them for the rest of his life.

He and the little Japanese woman were strangers at all, and consummating the house did not remove the slightest strangeness.He heard the little Japanese woman cry during the first consummation.At first he thought it was done for his parents, but when she cried he became fierce.What is she crying for?It seemed like he was bullying her.Shameless to face, light hands and feet, she is so subdued, as if enduring his bestiality, then it is better to give her some bestiality.He finished it soon, she was crying, and he took a lot of effort to control his hand, not to pull her newly grown hair, and ask her why she was wronged.

The next few times he found her lying dead, fully dressed, with her chin up and her toes in the air, really dead.He had to undress her, and it occurred to him that undressing her was mean, cheap.She just wanted to mess him up like that.She packed herself tightly and lay down like a zombie, which made him feel like a beast and raped a corpse when he took off her clothes.He was so angry that he thought, well, I'm not as good as a beast.Her father and elder brother are so inferior to Chinese women. There is only one exception.That time he raped her exhausted his energy, originally wanted to move away from her and jumped off the kang immediately, but he suddenly wanted to rest, so he took a breath on her body.He felt her hand come up, put it on his back, and touched it gently.That hand was soft and timid.He remembered seeing her childish hands with short fingers the first time he saw her.He has no more strength.

At this time, the second boy walked to the gate of the primary school in Anping Town.It was still early and the school playground was empty.Without expecting anything, he asked the janitor if he saw a Japanese girl walking past. The janitor said he didn't know if it was a Japanese girl, but he saw a young man with a feather duster head walking out of town.Wearing monk collar clothes?Yes, the monk leads.Half trouser legs?Yes, half pants. The second child returned home in the evening and found no clues.Stationmaster Zhang went to the security team and found the whereabouts of about a dozen other Japanese women.Two of them were sold to a nearby village. Stationmaster Zhang visited the village and found that although the two Japanese wives were married to poor bachelors, they became a married couple after all, and their bellies grew bigger.It seems that they have no collusion with the little Japanese woman who escaped from the Zhang family.

In the next two days, the second child and his father ran to several distant towns, but still found nothing.On the evening of the sixth day, Xiaohuan went to visit a girlfriend's house in the town and came back, and saw a dark shadow standing at the door of the house.She went up and grabbed her and walked into the courtyard, shouting loudly: "I'm back! It's not easy to eat outside. If I lose weight from hunger, I'll come to feed you again!" The little Japanese lady couldn't understand Xiaohuan's words, but her voice sounded as lively as Chinese New Year, so she stopped being stubborn and let her keep dragging her into the main room.

The second child's mother was smoking cards alone on the kang table, when she heard Xiaohuan's cry, she jumped off the kang with only her socks on.Seeing the person coming in, he became thinner again, and when he walked up, the slaps that were originally raised could not fall down. "Xiaohuan, go to the station and tell your dad to come back quickly!" the second child's mother ordered her daughter-in-law. "Stay at the door, don't dare to come in, you know you have done something wrong, don't you?" Xiaohuan said to the little Japanese woman. The little Japanese lady looked at Xiaohuan, if she didn't understand Xiaohuan, she wouldn't be able to tell how powerful Xiaohuan is. The second child came from Westinghouse at this time, and the mother immediately said, "That's all right, all right, if you want to beat him, it's your father who decides." At dinner, the stationmaster Zhang came back, took out a piece of paper, and said to the second child, "Here, write: Why did you run away? Even Little Japan recognizes our characters." The second child complied, but changed "what" to "what".The little Japanese woman looked at the words on the paper, but did not move, her eyelids drooping. "I'm afraid I don't understand." The second child said. "I definitely understand..." Zhang Zhang said, his eyes fixed on the face under the pile of hair. "Don't ask. Still need to ask? People must miss their own parents." The second-child mother said.She took a big piece of fat and put it in the little Japanese woman's bowl, and without dropping her chopsticks, she took a bigger piece of fat and put it in the small ring bowl.She is playing with an invisible scale. The weight and the scale are the two women of the second child. Zhang Zhang said: "Second boy, write again: Then why did you come back?" The second child wrote down his father's interrogation stroke by stroke. The little Japanese lady finished reading, still not moving, with drooping eyelids. Xiaohuan said: "I can say this for her: I am so hungry, I finished eating the corn tortillas I stole, and I came back. Have you steamed corn tortillas again? Steam more, this time I hope to carry it to Harbin." ." As soon as Xiaohuan spoke, the little Japanese woman looked up at her.The two eyes are well-grown and very bright.She didn't look at Xiaohuan at all as if she didn't understand Xiaohuan's words, as if she not only understood, but also admired her.When Xiaohuan saw her for the first time, she never stopped talking. When she gave her a scarf, she would say, "It's not as good-looking as your Japanese devil's scarf, is it? Let's do it, huh? Can I give it to you if it looks good?" Give her a pair of cotton shoes, and she will also scold: "I picked up a pair of shoes for nothing, just make do with them, don't think they are old, if you want to wear new ones, make them yourself." Every time the little Japanese woman looked at her enthusiastically Grumble and complain, then bow to her and thank her for the gift. No one took out any truth from the little Japanese woman all night.On the dinner table the next day, the little Japanese woman respectfully spread out a piece of paper in front of everyone.The paper reads: "Takeuchi Tahe, sixteen, parents, older brother, younger brother, and younger sister died. Tahe is pregnant." Everyone was stunned.The illiterate mother of the second child beat Zhang Zhang with her arm, but Zhang remained silent.She became more and more anxious. Xiaohuan said: "Mom, she has it. That's when I came back to our house." "...Is it our second child's?" the second child's mother asked. "Why are you talking like that?!" The second boy said fiercely to his mother without moving his lips. "Second child, ask her, how many months has it been?" Second child's mother was very anxious. "It must have just been pregnant." Zhang Zhang said, "She ran out and found out that she was pregnant, so she ran back quickly." "I didn't see her getting nauseous, throwing up, etc..." the second child's mother said, still unable to believe it. "Hey, she knows it well." Zhang Zhang said. Xiaohuan glanced at Erhai.She knew that the second child was a good-for-nothing, and her heart was too soft, and she felt uncomfortable about the words "parents, elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister died".The little Japanese woman named Takeuchi Tahe was an orphan, only sixteen years old. "Child, eat quickly." The second child's mother spread some miso on a sorghum steamed bun, sandwiched a piece of white onion, and stuffed it in the hands of a little Japanese woman named Takeuchi Tahe, "I'm pregnant, I can't eat it." If you can eat it, you have to eat it, huh?" The whole family picked up chopsticks one after another.Nobody wants to talk.Although everyone wants to say: I don't know how her whole family died. From that night, both Xiaohuan and Erhai breathed a sigh of relief.The child is pregnant, and the second child does not have to go to the little Japanese woman.At night, the second child hugged Xiaohuan into his arms, Xiaohuan rebelled against him insincerely, and said while making a fuss, he was only taking Zhu Xiaohuan to satisfy his appetite from his little Japanese mother-in-law.The second child still did not make excuses as always, silent and enthusiastic, letting Xiaohuan understand that he was just taking her to satisfy his hunger, and he was very "hungry" for her. Xiaohuan fell asleep, but Erhai stayed awake.He thought the name "Duohe" was weird, but it was beautifully written.He thought he would call the name Shunzui in the future.He turned over, and there was moonlight in the window, a piece of bluish white.He thought that after giving birth to his child, Dahe, a strange little girl from the East, would not be so difficult to get acquainted with anymore. The child was born in the middle of the night in January, a girl.The delivery went smoothly. The midwife was invited from the prefecture and knew some Japanese.Stationmaster Zhang went to the county hospital to spend a lot of money to hire a half-Japanese midwife. He had his own plan.He didn't want the locals to know whose belly the child came from.As soon as Dahe's belly swelled, she hid in the yard and did not go out.Xiaohuan returned to her mother's house for four or five months, and did not return home until the child was full moon.When people saw Xiaohuan again, they saw her holding a baby in a peach red cloak and walking through the city.Ask her where the child came from, and she will say: Still need to ask?Of course it was picked up in the morning!Or she would say: It was made by digging out ginseng!If the child was said to be handsome, she would reply: That's right, the ugly mother raises a cross-embroiderer!Someone said meanly: Xiaohuan, why is my daughter not like you?Can you be like me?Why don't I let the matchmaker worry about me?How many fools like Zhang Erhai are there in the world! It was night when Xiaohuan returned to Zhang's house from her mother's house, so she went directly to her own room.The second child's mother ran over with joyful little steps, and asked Xiaohuan to go and see the fat girl who had just turned one month old. "Is the second child with her?" Xiaohuan asked. Of course the second child's mother understood what her daughter-in-law meant, and hurriedly withdrew with her little feet, and the second child was called after a while. "You've put so much effort in vain, and you've come up with something that loses money." Xiaohuan said. The second child was full of joy and came to take her to see the child, but she blocked him at the door when she said a word.He turned to leave, Xiaohuan called out: "Where are you going?" Without looking back, he said, "Go ahead!" Xiaohuan dragged him back and stared viciously at his half-closed camel eyes.He just let her stare at her for a while, then Xiaohuan slapped him.Not a real fight, a little bit of flirting and questioning, and a little bit of accusation and resentment.The second child didn't say anything, and slapped him back.Xiaohuan knew that her husband did not fall in love with Duohe, so he was confident and confident, and would never accept her slap in the face of injustice. For the next three or four days, Xiaohuan didn't visit the child.From her window, she could see Duohe passing by in the yard, walking hurriedly, with her head buried low, either carrying a bucket of dirty water out, or bringing in a basin of hot water.Dahe's breasts are heavy, and his face is as white and tender as cream.Her demeanor and posture are the same as before giving birth, and she always bows to others, but Xiaohuan feels that her demeanor and posture are completely different from the past.This is a little Japanese woman who thinks she has someone to back her up. She walks back and forth in clogs in a hurry. One morning, the kind of big sun unique to after the rain came out.Xiaohuan got up at ten o'clock as usual, sat on the kang and smoked the first bag of cigarettes.The clogs in the yard sounded from the north house to the boiler room, and then there was no movement for a long time.There are only Duohe and Xiaohuan in the family, and counting the daughter who has just been full moon, it is two and a half women.Xiaohuan put on her clothes, put on a shawl, and combed her hair carefully.Then she went out into the yard, pulled off her shawl, and shook out the broken hair and dandruff.Then she heard someone humming a ditty in the boiler room.Japanese ditty.She leaned over to the window of the boiler room, and saw the snow-white heat steaming inside, one large and one small two balls of pink flesh.What was used to make the bathtub was actually the Japanese marching aluminum pot, which was thrown at the train station after Japan surrendered.The aluminum pot is deep enough, but not wide. Duohe set up a stool on top of the pot, and let the long bench straddle the edge of the pot on both sides.She sat on the stool with the baby in her arms and scooped water from the pot to bathe the baby and herself.She holds a gourd ladle and pours water on her left or right shoulder.The water was probably a little hot, and every time a ladle of water poured down, she gave a small, happy jerk, and the little tune also made a high-pitched sound, like a little girl being tickled and laughing out of tune.The hot water passed through her body, adjusted her body temperature, and then fell on the child, so the water did not scare the child at all.Of course the child will not be afraid. The child has been soaked in a bag of hot water in her mother's stomach for ten months.The sun was still in the east after ten o'clock, and the chimney wall was removed to leave a round hole. The sun coming in from there fell on the ground, shining brightly, and became a moon on the ground.The child was pressed against the mother's chest, extremely peaceful.Dahe's body was bulging, not only the two tits were bursting with milk, but her whole body was round and full, full of milk, as if it would flow out when touched.How many generations are there such mother-child pictures?Made of clay, made of dough, made of porcelain... She saw Dahe bent down to take a towel and wrapped the child in it.She hurried to the side, she didn't want Duohe to find her looking at them so eagerly.Dahe didn't see her - the little tune she was humming was smooth and coherent, proving that she couldn't care less about looking at anything.She got up dripping wet and walked into the pillar shaped by the May sun.A wet little mother, the size of her belly is not much different from before giving birth, a marsh-colored thread under the navel is inserted straight into the big black fluff between the two thighs.The hair of a small half of the head grew there, and the hair of two heads grew on Dahe's head.Her race is a barbarian hairy race, so it is even more shocking in front of Xiaohuan.There was a strange twist in the depths of Xiaohuan's body, she didn't know if she was disgusted by what she saw.No, it's clearly not disgusting.The shameless body of this little mother of a strange race made Xiaohuan see what a woman is.She had never looked hard enough, thought hard about what a woman was.As a woman, she herself is the authority and the authority's fan.Now it's like standing outside the bureau, looking at a little she-like woman in the window.Xiaohuan was in so much pain, there was no word in her mind that could put what she saw and thought into order, and arrange it into a meaning.If someone who can read and write can lay out the meaning she can't grasp, she will probably come up with the following meanings in order: What she is looking at is a woman who is absolutely feminine--the flesh full of juice and the bumps are shameless It shyly went out, and then converged unpredictably at the cross of the thighs, and the darkness went down.It was a trap of black velvet, black as deep as a mystery, since the beginning of heaven and earth, how many hunters has it trapped?It's not just trapping for no reason, it's all trapping to finally give birth to such a pink ball of flesh. Xiaohuan thought of the second child.He too was lured into it.Part of the second child melted into this little lump of meat.Xiaohuan didn't know whether it was jealousy or emotion, and her heart and body felt weak for a while.You can no longer give birth to bloody fruits, so what do you need this trap for?Just like Xiaohuan herself, there is a black wasteland between her legs. It was not until the Dragon Boat Festival that Xiaohuan officially saw the child for the first time. She had just woken up that day when the second boy came in with the baby in his arms and said that Duohe wanted to make Japanese red bean dumplings for everyone and was busy in the kitchen, so he had to hold the baby for her for a while. Seeing his appearance, Xiaohuan said, "Are you hugging a winter melon? Is there anyone who hugs a child like this?" The second boy changed his posture, and couldn't exert any more strength.Xiaohuan snatched the swaddle, and put the baby in the cradle formed by her two arms.She looked at the white and fat baby girl with double chin and double eyelids. She was only two months old and already tired from life, so she didn't bother to open her eyes fully.It's strange how the second child's eyes were moved to the baby girl's face, as well as the nose and those eyebrows.Xiaohuan gently pulled out a little hand from the swaddle, her heart trembled: the fingers and nails belonged to the second child.The little Japanese woman does not have such long fingers, such strong, square nails.She didn't know that she had been staring at the child for half an hour, Xiaohuan seldom stayed focused for half an hour without smoking.Her fingertips traced the child's forehead and eyebrows.She loves the second child's eyebrows the most, neither thick nor light, and all expressions are on the eyebrows.The child fell asleep again.What a carefree kid.Those eyes are really like a camel.Compared with Erhai's eyebrows, Erhai's eyes hurt Xiaohuan even more.Which part of the second child will not hurt Xiaohuan?It's just that she doesn't know it.Even knowing that she doesn't admit it, and she doesn't admit it to herself.Xiaohuan is too good and strong. Afterwards, Xiaohuan always asks the second child to bring the child over.The thing that impresses her the most about children is their good behavior.She had never seen such an easy-to-coax child, who would be happy after singing two nursery rhymes, and fall asleep after five nursery rhymes.She wondered why she was so worthless, and when she hugged other people's children, she became her heart and soul. On this day, the whole family names their children, and they can't always call them "girls and girls".When a name is taken out, Er Hai writes it down with a brush.It is always impossible to choose a name that convinces everyone, and a piece of paper is filled with calligraphy. "It's called Zhang Shujian." Zhang Zhang said. Everyone understands his intentions.The scientific name of the second child is Zhang Liangjian. "It doesn't sound good." The second child said. "It sounds good! Why doesn't it sound good?" Zhang Zhang said, "It's only one word away from Zhang Liangjian." The second child's mother laughed and said, "Zhang Liangjian doesn't sound good either. Why don't everyone call the second child the second child from elementary school to middle school?" "Then you come!" Zhang Zhang said. The second child looked at the names on the paper from the beginning to the end, either they were literal or rustic.Dahe walked in.She was breastfeeding the baby next door just now.Dahe never opened his arms in front of people.She looks at everyone's face. Xiaohuan smoked a cigarette and said, "What are you looking at, I'm talking bad about you!" She giggled happily, and Duohe looked closely at each face.She took the cigarette stick out of her mouth, tapped the ash, and said to Dahe with a smile: "As long as you turn your face away, we will punish the crimes of the Japanese devils!" The second child told Xiaohuan not to be crazy, Duohe looked at everyone like that, because he wanted to know what the child's name was. Stationmaster Zhang went to the dictionary again.It was only when he was a translator that he dug out the word Liangjian for the second child.At this moment, Dahe spit out a few words, and everyone looked at her.Dahe and this family never get along with each other, but she often hears her singing to the children in Japanese.Dahe said those Japanese characters again, and then looked at this and then that with bright eyes.Erhai handed her the brush and a piece of paper.She tilted her head, pursed her lips, and wrote "Chunmei" on the paper. "This is a small Japanese name, isn't it?" Zhang Zhang asked the second child. "Then you can't call our Zhang family's child a Japanese name." The second child said. "I only want a little Japanese called Chunmei?" The stationmaster Zhang yelled at his wife, "Can they still occupy our two Chinese characters?" Dahe looked at the old couple with a look of fear in his eyes.She seldom saw stationmaster Zhang being so vicious. "The Japanese characters were taken from us!" Zhang Zhang pointed to the words on the paper and said, "My name is Chunmei! They took it, and I will bring it back! Don't argue, it's settled like that .” He shook his hand and went out to pick up the train. From then on, Xiaohuan went out with the baby in her arms when she had nothing to do.When it was time to breastfeed, she carried her home, fed her and carried her out again.The child's thin-skinned, white-fleshed face was tanned, and the wind blew two patches of red on the two cheeks, gradually becoming less quiet, and the mouth that had just erupted teeth was full of saliva and murmured indistinctly.People in the town could see the pink cloak fluttering in Xiaohuan's arms from afar. One day Erhai's mother went to the town to run some errands, and saw an adult sitting on the top of the steps at the entrance of the small theater, and a child lying down.When he got closer, he saw Xiaohuan and the child taking a nap. The mother of the second child always gave her daughter-in-law three points, and at this moment she stomped her little feet and screamed.She said, did Xiaohuan want the child to roll down the steps and bleed from the orifice?Xiaohuan woke up, picked up the child, and patted the dust, melon seed shells, and paper cigarette butts on the pink cloak.Xiaohuan, who always had the upper hand on her mother-in-law, couldn't speak a word at this moment.The second child's mother snatched the child back and did not do anything else. She beat the snare drum with her little feet and went home all the way. Ten minutes later, Xiaohuan came back, she didn't look like she was tongue-tied in the town at all, and the scolding to her mother-in-law came back.Are you accusing her of being a stepmother?Does it mean that she carried the child out every day in order to throw her to the point of bleeding?Even if Xiaohuan is really crooked, she can't let anyone point to her head and scold her, besides, she doesn't have the slightest crooked heart for this child. "You made it clear: who wants to bleed this girl?!" Xiaohuan said. Xiaohuan married into the Zhang family and never had a big fight with her mother-in-law.No one can stop her this time.Erhai went to weed in the field, Zhang Zhang went to patrol the road, and took Duohe to help pick up the rubbish on the railway. The second child's mother pointed at her: "Is that step a place for the child to sleep?" Xiaohuan pushed Erhaima's finger aside, and said, "I'll just let her sleep there, what's the matter?" "Then you're going to let the kid roll and break!" "Why do you think so well of me? I want her to fall to her death and it's a waste of time? Since I hit her for two months, I hugged her every day, lifted her bastard by both legs, and let go with her head on the ground. What are you waiting for now?!" "Ask you! What do you want to do?!" Tears welled up in Xiaohuan's eyes, and she grinned grinningly: "I... don't you know why I want to? I want to take a knife and kill that little Japanese woman! I haven't paid for the little life that fell out of my stomach I don't care how many sins Little Japan has committed, I just want to kill my children who have never seen the light of day!" Er Hai's mother knew that Xiao Huan was violent, but she had never experienced her viciousness.She originally blamed her carelessness for putting the child on the high and narrow steps, but now that her eyes are completely wild behind the thick swollen eyeballs, maybe she can do something messy with a single thought. At this time the second child came back, panting. "What are you doing?!" he said loudly, "I heard a child crying a mile away!" "Banla'er, a little Japanese girl, I want you to pass it on! Pass it on to the next generation! Let the Japanese bastards who kill and set fire pass it on..." Xiaohuan yelled happily. Er Hai stepped up to her in a few steps and dragged her away.Her lower body had already entered their own room, her upper body was still screwed out of the door, and her face was still full of ecstasy. "Little Japan hasn't harmed you enough? Now please come into the house to kill wolf cubs..." Er Hai finally dragged Xiaohuan into the door and closed it firmly.He wondered how his mother would forget, could Xiaohuan care about it at this time?He himself half closed his eyes to the crying Xiaohuan lying on the ground, walked to the kang, took off his shoes and sat on it.He didn't listen to Xiaohuan's scolding and making troubles, completely ignoring them.After he finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, Xiaohuan really only had the sound of sniffling.He still doesn't look at her. "I can't pass it. I can't pass it." Xiaohuan murmured, obviously the seizure was almost over. Er Hai filled another pot of cigarettes and rubbed a match firmly on the sole of his shoe. "Now if I run out and jump into the well, your grandma will definitely not even catch me, and she will definitely not even take the rope. Isn't it, Zhang Liangjian?" The second child looked at her.She had already got up and was covered in dust. "Am I right? You don't want to fish me with a rope!" Xiaohuan said. The second child frowned. "Do you know why I always take the baby out?" The second child took a puff of the cigarette, exhaled it, and raised his eyebrows, expressing his expectation for her next words. "For that day, when you put the little Japanese woman back in your pocket and threw it out. The child didn't realize that her mother was gone. She kissed me early and regarded me as her mother. Do you understand?" Second child's half-closed eyes widened, and after searching Xiaohuan's face for a while, his eyes were still half-closed, but the eyeballs moved straight under the eyelids.Xiaohuan could see that he was disturbed by her words.Xiaohuan, do you really mean that?The second child asked and answered in his heart, maybe you just talked about it to make your mouth feel comfortable. Xiaohuan looked at the second child's appearance, worn out by her, stretched out a hand, and touched his cheek.The second child escaped.The hiding of the second child made Xiaohuan scared and sad. "You said that after the baby was born, you would put her in a pocket and put her on the mountain, and let her go. Did you say so?" Xiaohuan said. The second child still does as she pleases, whatever she likes to say. "When she bears you a son, throw her out." The second boy's eyeballs are busy under his half-closed eyelids, and his brain is busy behind those eyeballs.Xiaohuan can see it all.If she said at this time, look at your pain!I am kidding you!He will be more at ease.But she didn't say anything.She herself was also confused, whether she was speaking out of fighting spirit or telling the truth through fighting spirit. When Xiaohuan went to the town again, people saw that she put a little straw hat on her big fat girl, which was made of new straw.Xiaohuan is dexterous, but she is a bit lazy, as long as she doesn't bother her, she will laugh and swear whatever is offered to her.But when she has the energy, she can help the small restaurant in the town make more than ten kinds of buns when she has the energy.Stationmaster Zhang's family works, there is no master or wife, they just take care of a young mistress like Xiaohuan, and they just want her to go wherever she can happily go, like a pot of fire.When people saw the big fat girl wearing a straw hat to amuse people, they all said: "The longer the girl, the more she looks like Xiaohuan!" "Are you scolding me or scolding her?" Xiaohuan asked. "Girl eats so much that her eyes are blind!" "What girl, girl, we also have a scientific name, Chunmei." Behind the scenes, people's mouths are not so honest. "Is Chunmei our Chinese name?" "Why does it sound a bit oriental? I used to know a Japanese female teacher named Jimmy." "Where did the little Japanese woman Zhang bought back go? Why don't you see her go out?" "Don't you just buy one that is tied to the house to give birth?" That night, Xiaohuan saw that the second child took a big bucket of water to scrub in the house, and his skin turned red from rubbing.Every time he scrubbed desperately like this, Xiaohuan knew exactly what he was going to do.The second child didn't want to get dirty on the Japanese woman's kang.Chunmei turned one year old, and she was already fed millet porridge cooked with goat's milk.It's time for Dahe to conceive her second child.Xiaohuan was smoking a cigarette, looking at him happily. The second child glanced at her.She pretended to open her mouth, unable to open it, and then chuckled at him again. "Big brother, it's just so humane, I even washed it." Xiaohuan said, "She asked you to wash it well? You should tell her that the little Japanese has a lot of hair, and we Chinese are naked. You don't need to rub it so hard!" The second child is deaf as usual. "Is your mother urging you again? Your father can't wait anymore? Seven oceans. Or maybe you can't hold it anymore? She must have shown you the coat behind my back, isn't she?" The second child threw a handkerchief into the bucket, "You feed the girl's medicine, don't just be silly." He dismissed her jokes as usual, "The cough is not getting worse." Every time Erhai went to spend the night at Duohe's place, Xiaohuan would take the girl to sleep with her.The girl coughed all night, and Xiaohuan woke up all night.She was awake but did not dare to smoke, and the night became very bitter and long.Xiaohuan is actually not young anymore, at twenty-seven years old, she is no longer the age where she can just "just marry another man".She sometimes combs her hair and looks at herself in the small mirror of the dressing box, thinking that the round-faced woman there is still attractive.Sometimes when people praise "Xiaohuan looks good in any clothes", or "Why does Xiaohuan always have a small waist of 17 or 18", she feels a little bit weak, and feels that the Zhang family really annoys her, so she really dares to grit her teeth." But that's all."Xiaohuan has a beautiful neck, flowing shoulders, fingers as pale as light green, and a long weasel waist, which is the envy of the people in this area.Xiaohuan's face is not a top-notch beauty face, but it is also romantic when it looks right.Whenever she got hotheaded, she would overestimate her own appearance. She really thought she could shuffle the game between her and Zhang Erhai, and start a new game with another man.Since Duohe was bought, she often thought so. But in the middle of the night, like this moment, she would think, it would be great if she didn't marry Zhang Erhai.Zhang Erhai is a person she can't live without.Besides, Zhang Erhai is the only one who can deal with her. With a person like her, who will suffer?She and Zhang Erhai are a perfect match.She left, leaving Zhang Erhai behind, it was much cheaper than that little Japanese girl, how could a Japanese girl treat Erhai as a treasure like her Xiaohuan.He yawns, raises his eyebrows, pretends to be a pot of cigarettes and chopsticks, and he looks so good. Can Duohe see those good looks?She couldn't see that the benefits of the second child were all in vain to her.In the dead of night, Zhu Xiaohuan's heart was about to break when she thought of those thoughts of "getting over" with her second child. Even if she was willing to have a second child, she also couldn't bear to have a girl.Girl, no matter how many enemies your family consists of, she just giggles and cries to connect people together in a daze.It is inconvenient for people in this family to be intimate with each other, so they pass on their feelings through the girl.Xiaohuan never expected that she would love a child so much, and she couldn't be sure if she loved her like a second child.Seeing Er Hai's shadow on her lips and eyes, she felt hot in her heart. She hugged the girl tightly, as if she wanted to rub the girl into her own flesh, so tight that the girl would suddenly fear "wow". Let out a howl.Just like at this moment, the girl was crying in her arms, dying. Xiaohuan was startled, and quickly patted the child to coax the child, full of doubts: Why can't I love someone so much that I can't help myself?Want to make her (him) hurt?Can't wait to abuse her (him) and let her (him) know that this pain is love?Or does this love have to hurt?She gently put the girl who fell asleep again on the kang.Xiaohuan didn't think about what Erhai and Duohe were doing at this time, whether it was a good thing or not, and fell asleep sweetly with each other's arms on their pillows.She never knew--if she knew, she would not believe Er Hai's true attitude towards Dahe. This attitude has changed a little after the second child knew about Duohe's helpless background, but not fundamentally.Every time he came back to Duohe's room, it was like a sacrifice, both for Duohe and himself.Just for that damn big thing about passing on the family line.The first thing he does every time he comes is to turn off the lights.The faces of the two of them are not easy to arrange without turning off the lights.Dahe is better now, and no longer wears the same clothes as when he was buried.She would undress without a sound in the dark, and pull out the barrettes in her hair—her hair fell down enough to cover most of her spine. After the second child came in that night, I heard her groping and walking up.The second child's muscles tensed up: what is she going to do?She crouched down.No, I knelt down.Since she came to Zhang's courtyard, the brick floor in the house has been wiped down like a kang, and she can kneel anywhere.Her hand touched the second child's trouser leg, then touched down and touched the shoe.The second child's shoes are very simple, so she doesn't need to take them off.But the second child didn't move, and let her make arrangements.She took off his shoes and socks and put them on the edge of the Kang.The second child heard the sound of cotton cloth and cotton clothes rubbing against each other.She unbuttoned her coat and underwear.In fact, it's redundant, the second child doesn't touch the rest of her body, it's just business, but the second child comes to do business. Duohe gave birth to a child and gained weight. She no longer has the body of a little girl, her belly is chubby, and her hips are much bigger.The second child heard her cry softly.He takes it easy.His change was that he no longer wanted to make this lonely little girl trapped in a foreign country suffer.The second child never dared to think about the future.Once a son is born, will they continue to take in this unaccompanied Japanese orphan? Dahe's hands were very timid, and he put them on both sides of his waist, touching the layer of hot sweat on his flesh.This was what he couldn't stand, her two childish hands, sometimes seeing them on the dinner table, he would suddenly think of this moment in the night.They would always timidly and tentatively touch his shoulders, back, waist, and once touched his forehead.How wretchedly she wanted to know him.多鹤只和张站长、二孩妈、丫头大笑。她笑起来甚至比小环还要开怀，她可以坐在地上，笑得拳打脚踢、披头散发。其实二孩妈和张站长是被她的笑给逗笑的。他们也搞不清她是被什么逗笑的。她没办法讲出她大笑的由头。看见她笑，二孩会想，这样一个全家都走了把她留在世上的女孩子也能笑得这么好？她的全家是怎么没的？二孩又会暗暗叹息，恐怕他永远不会知道了。 多鹤的手柔软地拍拍他的腰，就像她拍女儿睡觉。他突然听她说："二孩。" 音调不对，但基本上能听懂。 他不由自主地"嗯"了一声。 "二孩。"她又说，声音大了点，受了他刚才那声"嗯"的鼓舞。 他又说："嗯？"他已经发现她毛病在哪儿了：她卷舌卷不好，又想学大家的口齿"二孩儿"，两个卷舌音放在一块，就被她说成了"饿核"。还错了音调，听上去像"饿鹤"。最后让她自己满意的是"二河"。 她却没有下文。二孩等得快要睡着了，她下文来了，说："丫头。"很古怪，听着像是"压豆"。 二孩明白了，她是在向他显摆她的中国话。她比她的岁数更年幼。丫头。丫秃？丫头。压豆……二孩翻了个身，把后脑瓜朝她，意思很明白，他就教到这里。多鹤的手又上来了，这回没那么胆小，在他肩膀上抓了抓。 "天不错。"她说。 二孩吓一跳。这句话她是学他父亲的。张站长每天接清早第一班车，回到家正是大家起床的时间，他跟大家打招呼的话就是"天不错"！对他一个铁道线上的员工，"天不错"是个重要的事，天不错车就能准点从车站上过去，他不用在车站上守候。他也不用仔细巡道，巡道在他的年纪越来越惹他牢骚满腹。 "天不错？"她希望二孩给他点表扬或者纠正。 "Ok." "吃了没？"她说。 这回二孩动容了。He almost laughed.托二孩父母办事的拎着礼物进来，二孩妈一手接过礼物嘴里就是一句："吃了没？"只是多鹤不会说"吃"，她说"嘁"，连起来是"嘁了咪"，乍一听还是日本话。 "凑合吧。" 想都不用想，二孩马上听出这是小环的词儿。小环事情做得再地道，别人怎么夸她，她都会说："咳，凑合吧。"如意不如意，乐呵不乐呵，饭好不好吃，她都是满口"凑合"。有时候她情绪高，眨眼就能用笤帚把院子、屋里都划拉一遍，也是口口声声地说"凑合吧"。 二孩想，他可不能理她，一理她她更没完，那就都别睡了。第二天还得干活。 她的脸朝着天花板，一遍又一遍地说："俄亥，饿孩，二河……" 他紧紧搂着自己，给她一个后脑勺。第二天他跟父亲母亲说起这事。 父亲抽完一袋闷烟说："不能让她学会中国话。" "为啥？"二孩妈问。 "咋能让她学会中国话呢？！"张站长瞪着老伴。这么明白的事她脑子都绕不过来？ 二孩心里清楚父亲的意思。多鹤是靠不住的，指不定哪天又跑了。会了中国话她跑起来多方便。 "你能挡住她学话？狗和猫一块儿住长了都得喵呜！"二孩妈笑眯眯地说。 "跑也得先给咱把儿子生下来。"张站长说。 "生啥能由你呀？"二孩妈还笑眯眯的。 三个人都闷声不响地各自抽烟。 从此二孩再去多鹤屋里，她总是跟他不着边际地蹦出几个中国字。"不得劲"、"一边去"是跟小环学的，还有"美死了"、"哎呀妈呀"都是小环嘻哈嗔怒的字眼，多鹤都搬进自己嘴里。不过得用力听，才能发现那都是中国话。二孩连"嗯"也不"嗯"了，一任她自己试探，自己回答。二孩只是加紧了办事效率，一夜好几次。他心里恼恨自己父母，一声不吭也知道他们在催促他。 多鹤却把事情看错了。她以为二孩对她热起来了，有时白天偶尔碰见他，她会红着一张脸偷偷朝他一笑。她一笑他才发现她竟那么陌生，她在这种时候表达这层意思的笑和中国姑娘那么不一样。而怎么不一样，他又说不出。他只觉得她一笑，笑得整个事情越发混乱。 这种混乱在夜里变成她越来越大胆的手。竟然发展到他忍无可忍的程度。一夜，她的手抓住他的手，搁在她细嫩得有点湿涩的肚皮上。他的手还在犹豫要不要摆脱开，她的手已经把他的手按在她圆乎乎的胸上。他动也不敢动。假如他抽手，等于骂她下贱不要脸，不抽手她会以为他喜欢上她了。小环搁在那儿，他怎么能喜欢上她？ 没有小环，他也不能喜欢上她。 那时父亲还在虎头站上当巡道工，哥哥大孩认识了一帮山林里的共产党抗日游击队。十五岁的大孩带着弟弟去领游击队的传单，再给他们往火车上散发。刚到虎头镇，就看见日本兵绑了两个游击队员，衣服裤子都被扒了，露出缠在腰上腿上的传单。鬼子把他们晾在镇子邮局门口，杀也不好好杀，用滚开的水从头往下浇。几桶开水泼出去，把人的皮肉和传单都泡糟了。那以后没多久，大孩就不见了。 父母白白养活了大孩一场。为父母在大孩身上操的心，流的泪，他也不准自己喜欢上这小日本婆儿。 日本兵在周围几个村子都杀过人放过火，在铜矿上为了杀抗日分子把几十个矿工都封在矿道里炸死了。镇上住过的日本女人多人五人六，连日本狗都明白中国人不叫人叫亡国奴。安平镇小火车站上有一次来了一群花枝招展的日本婊子，等的那趟火车误点，她们居然不用站上的茅房，把站上唯一的脸盆拿来尿尿，几个人用伞遮住中间一个蹲下的，一边尿一边笑，等火车的中国汉子她们是不必避讳的，因为人不必避着骡子、马方便。 二孩咬咬牙，可别让他想到最要他命的那一幕。 ……几个日本兵哇哇叫，唱着醉不成调的歌，他们前头，那个骑牛的中国女子从牛背上摔下来了。等他们赶到跟前，她厚厚的绿色棉裤裆间一摊紫黑。紫黑湿了一大片土，土成了紫红。女子的头发耷拉下来，头发下有张白纸似的脸。女子不顾日本兵围上来，两只手塞在两腿中间，要堵住那血似的。日本兵把女子衣衫下鼓起的肚子看明白了。那血他们也看明白了。她可不好玩，他们晃晃悠悠，接着唱醉得不成调的歌，走开去。看见这一幕的人不认识小环，就这样把这一幕一遍遍讲给后来围上来的人。二孩是抱着小环飞跑的时候，那人飞跑着跟在后面，上气不接下气地把事情告诉他的。 二孩怎么能准许自己喜欢上日本小娘们儿多鹤呢？ 她是可怜，无依无靠，无家可归，不过……该！ 想到这个"该"字，二孩心里疼了一下，不知为谁疼。为多鹤疼，还是为他能对多鹤这么个可怜女子发这样的狠而疼，还是为他自己和小环疼。没有日本兵追赶，小环不会跳到牛背上，让牛摔下来，把他们的儿子摔死。小环说得对，多鹤欠她一条小命。至少是多鹤那些杀人不眨眼的同胞欠小环一条小命。 二孩怎么能喜欢上这个日本小娘们儿？ ! 二孩一使劲，狠狠地抽回自己的手。还没开始的事，已经没劲去办了。他跳下炕，摸起衣服、裤子，又踢又打地穿上。多鹤跪在炕上，黑黝黝一个影子都充满失望。 "二河？" 他感到刚才握过她一团乳房的手心像趴过一只蛤蟆。 "二孩……"她倒是字正腔圆了。 "一边儿去！" 她愣了愣，咯咯地笑起来。小环说这话的时候是快活无比的，求张站长捎东西的人跟小环逗乐，小环就是一句含笑带嗔的"一边儿去"！二孩有时跟小环小声说句什么，她做个踢他的样子，也是一句"一边儿去"。 二孩又坐回炕上。多鹤人长到了十八岁，脑子却没长到。他刚刚点燃一锅烟，多鹤从背后扑上来，下巴颏抵在他的脑瓜顶上，两腿盘住他的后腰，脚丫子伸到他前腰。"一边儿去！"她说着乐着，今晚要把二孩变成她的玩伴。 二孩从来没有这样无奈过。和多鹤，事情总是这样莫名其妙就变了，真是很窝囊很诡异。他不可能把趴在他背上嬉闹的赤身女子扔下去，又不能按他原本的来意对她该干吗干吗。他等她疯够，在地上磕磕烟灰，爬回炕上，只觉得脸上身上到处是多鹤飘来荡去的一头长发和她软乎乎的一双手。 他很快睡着了。
