Chapter 10 chapter eight

More and more beggars appeared on the street.Once someone knocked on the door, every household dared not open it, for fear of beggars standing at the door.Sometimes beggars come and go for three generations. From then on, Duohe no longer went to the mining site to earn a wage of five cents an hour.The cafeteria was also closed, and Xiaohuan returned home with a "thank you, thank you, Chairman Mao", and began to live a lazy life without getting up in the morning and staying up at night. Now when Xiao Peng and Xiao Shi came to visit, she didn't tie her apron around her waist, and said boldly: "Whatever you want to eat, my sister-in-law will make it for you!" Now she can treat them with "gold and silver rolls", However, sweet potato noodles were used where cornmeal should be used, and cornmeal was used where white flour should be used.The eldest child and the second child are almost seven years old, and the girl has the appearance of a big girl. They all have big heads and big eyes, and their limbs are like hemp straw. They always wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

When Xiao Peng and Xiao Shi came to play chess and chat, they often put half a bag of mung beans or soybeans in their work clothes pockets, which they bought at a high price on the black market.Xiao Peng went back to the technical school for another year, and returned to the workshop as a Peng technician.He went to Zhang's house one day, playing with Xiaohuan and Xiaoshi, and Duohe went into the house to mix tea for them. After mixing the tea, Duohe led the way out of the house.Xiao Peng rolled up the sleeves of his white overalls and said loudly, "Thank you, auntie." All three of them were taken aback by his sudden increase in volume, and Dahe also smiled at him ignorantly.Xiao Shi suddenly burst into laughter, grabbed Xiao Peng's left wrist, and held it up high: "New watch! Shanghai brand! Why can't you see it?!"

Xiao Peng's face turned into a piece of pig's liver, but this time he didn't hit Xiao Shi, he just cursed: "What's wrong with the new watch? You're a bitch looking at it!" At the same time, he glanced at Dahe, who smiled again . Dahe never hides her smile, she just smiles like that to the extreme.She made men like Xiao Peng mistakenly think that he is the person who amuses her the most and pleases her the most today.Over the years, Xiao Peng has always wanted to understand how Duohe is different from ordinary women.He always felt that she had an invisible story, she was so different from other women, and the difference was so subtle, so slippery, once caught, it actually slipped away.

"Duohe, come and play for a while, and I'll go out and buy some food." Xiaohuan said, poking one foot down to look for shoes under the bed. Dahe smiled and shook his head.Xiao Peng found that Xiaohuan and Duohe were not so quick to speak, and bit each word carefully. "Sit down, sit down, we will teach you!" Xiaoshi said, "Anyone who has had meningitis can play this game!" Dahe watched him shuffle the cards.The kids were at school, the laundry was done and ironed, and there was still some time until dinner.She hesitated and sat down.When drawing cards, Xiao Peng's hand always brushes past hers.Xiao Peng would take a quick look at her.Xiao Shi was either talking or humming, or bragging about how good his cards were, so that Xiao Peng would lose his ass naked.

Dahe struggled to understand Xiaoshi's words, missing half a sentence, understanding half a sentence, and being late for half a sentence.Before Duohe could learn how to play cards, the children were out of school.The girl from the first year of junior high school ran in with the second child from the second grade.Dahe got up quickly, bowed goodbye to the two guests, asked them to continue playing, and at the same time said to the children: "Wash your hands!" The children reluctantly entered the kitchen.The girl immediately yelled: "Er Hai stole pan (Japanese: pan, steamed buns and bread)!"

The three children rushed out of the kitchen, and the second child was holding a four-fold noodle roll in his hand, but he didn't know whether it was the scallion roll noodles or the noodle roll scallions, and more onions than the noodles fell all the way. "Put the fan down!" the girl shouted while chasing after her. Sanhao student girl is the young parent of two boys.They have entered the big house. "I'll count one, two, three, stop!" the girl ordered, "One, two, three!" The second child stopped, and the elder child took the opportunity to snatch the flower roll from his hand.The noodles are not sticky at all, and too many onions are mixed in, so it will fall apart as soon as you handle it.The second boy jumped up, hugged the older boy's neck, and bit his shoulder.

"My rice! Pay me!" Second Boy shouted. Xiaopeng Xiaoshi saw that they were no longer just joking around, and they really showed hatred, so he hurried up to pull it.Then ask the girl what is a pan.The girl told them that it was Hanamaki.What dialect is it?have no idea.My aunt always said so.Xiao Peng and Xiao Shi looked at each other: Is this Chinese? After dinner, Zhang Jian and Xiao Peng played chess, and Xiao Shi watched the game, preparing to take over from the loser.Xiaoshi asked Zhang Jian where his aunt Duohe was from, and how he said Hanamaki in a foreign language.Zhang Jian frowned and stared at the chessboard, no one would be surprised if he didn't answer.

At this time, Xiaohuan, who was mending clothes on the sewing machine in the big house, called out: "You really don't understand what his aunt said?" Xiaoshi smiled and said, "Look how good Mrs. Xiaohuan's ears are! The sewing machine is so loud and she's eavesdropping on us." Xiao Peng said loudly: "Sister-in-law Xiaohuan, we really don't understand what his aunt said." Xiaohuan said: "I really don't understand? Then I can tell you -- the words of Java! My sister has been to Java!" Both Xiaoshi and Xiaopeng laughed and said that the language of Java is so difficult to understand, and it is almost catching up with the language of the Japanese devils.

They are often like this, no one cares about the truth and lies, just to relieve boredom.Dahe sat on the bed in the big house, darning the children's socks, refilling the three men with boiling water from time to time.The Zhang family had stopped drinking tea for a long time, and all the tea money was used to buy food.In autumn, Duohe often goes to the suburbs to pick a kind of grass seed, which is very fragrant after being fried slowly to make tea.But it was just summer. It's time for Xiaoshi and Xiaopeng to play chess, and Zhang Jian watched the game.He stood up and went into the hut to see some children doing their homework.From the corner of Dahe's eyes, he saw Xiao Shi kicking Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng didn't move, but Xiao Shi moved.He stood up, took a thumbtack from the portrait of Chairman Mao on the dining table, and put the thumbtack on the chair where Zhang Jian was sitting.Dahe didn't understand what he meant.Zhang Jian came out and was about to sit down on the chair when Dahe suddenly understood.She screamed, high-pitched and bright, Xiao Peng and Xiao Shi never knew that the gentle-voiced Dahe could have such a soprano.

She called: "Erhe!" Zhang Jian turned around.Dahe had already run over and picked up the thumbtack that should have been stuck into his butt, his face was blood red. "Go! You go!" Duohe said to Xiaoshi. Xiao Shi giggled awkwardly. "I'm playing with him..." He pointed at Zhang Jian. Dahe grabbed Xiaoshi's sleeve, pulled him up from the stool, and dragged him towards the door. "You go! You go!" Xiao Peng was stunned.He had never seen Duohe lose his temper before, and he didn't know that she was so powerful. When Zhang Jian and Xiaohuan pulled together, she didn't let go of Xiaoshi's sleeve.In fact, there are many people who like to play tricks on Zhang Jian in the workshop. Some people put sand in his shoes, and some people steal thread gloves from his toolbox.When studying politics, someone often used chalk to draw Zhu Bajie or orangutans on the back of his chair.Zhang Jian was caught backstage at the club, and the people who used to tease him became more active.Of all the people who knew Zhang Jian, perhaps only Xiao Peng understood that Zhang Jian was not as gentle as people imagined.His honesty and taciturnity make him disdain to be knowledgeable with others. He seems to have more important things in his heart that need him to deal with.

But what is it?Xiao Peng wanted to see through it too much. Xiaohuan and Zhang Jian finally relieved Xiaoshi.With a playful smile, Xiaoshi bowed to Duohe on the left and struck a thousand on the right.Xiao Peng thought, Zhang Jian's indifferent silence might explode one day, and he didn't know which unlucky person would be the victim of this explosion. Xiao Peng also understands that Xiao Shi wants to attract Dahe's attention with his cleverness and playfulness.Neither of them knew what caught the Zhang family's sister-in-law's attention, but they were always secretly competing for Dahe's silent smile.Do they want to have sex with her?Xiao Peng was taken aback by this thought: How could he marry a woman who was several years older than himself?Besides, there is a baby mother ordered by his parents in his hometown, so he can't just wait forever and not go back to get married.How long can a twenty-six-year-old survive? Xiao Peng didn't even know if he liked Duohe, but it was Duohe's charm that was different from ordinary female colleagues that made his heart itch.He watched Xiao Shi still glibly confessing his brotherly feelings for Zhang Jian to Duohe, and suddenly understood - Zhang Jian and Duohe were lovers.No wonder a thumbtack turned her into a female leopard, who would pounce on the male leopard who hurt her.Everything was clear: Zhu Xiaohuan had covered the two of them in the club incident.Now Xiao Peng understands who gave birth to the child. Xiao Peng felt that he had spent so many years with a shameless and messy family, and it was too embarrassing for him.When he and Xiao Shi walked out of Zhang's house, he made up his mind never to come again.But the next day he came again.Then day after day, he came more frequently than usual.He didn't know what he was, and he didn't even tell Xiaoshi his speculation.He looked down on Xiaoshi's wife's tongue, and Xiaoshi's heart that was not two inches deep. On August this day, after he got off work, he took a shower and washed his hair, changed into a short-sleeved sea soul shirt, and glued the hole under his armpit with adhesive plaster.When he arrived downstairs at Zhang Jian's house, he met Duohe coming downstairs with a wooden bucket on his back.He asked her where she was going, and she pointed to the grain store.He said I'll help you carry the food, right?She smiled and said thank you.He immediately turned the bike around. When she reached the entrance of the grain store, she pointed to the front again: "There." Xiao Peng followed her.She had a funny way of walking, small, dragging steps, but very fast.Being close to her, he felt that she was different from ordinary women. "Is it still far? Come sit in my car." Dahe pointed to the rather large wooden barrel on her back: "Barrel." She smiled. Xiao Peng thought for a while and told her to untie the barrel.He watched her untie it, and felt that this bucket was also weird, not like what ordinary people use.Holding the bucket belt in his left hand and the handlebar in his right, he rode crookedly on the road.After a while, he entered the territory of vegetable farmers. There was a group of people rummaging through the ground by the side of the road.It's a bunch of new peanuts, and there's more mud than fruit.A neighbor spread the news of selling peanuts upstairs, and Xiaohuan borrowed five yuan from the neighbor for Duohe to buy.The children were all deficient in nutrition, and the older child's liver had been enlarged for nearly half a year. Xiao Peng and Duohe scraped the mud with both hands, and they got out seven or eight catties of peanuts. Duohe was about to pour them into the basket on the scale, but Xiao Peng stopped her, dumped the peanuts in the bucket on the ground, and rolled the peanut shells on the ground. Pick out the mud layer that is too thick, and then rub the mud away.He smiled at Dahe.Dahe understood, and knelt down to pick with him.Xiao Peng thought, this woman has lived so long that she still doesn't understand how much deceit there is in the world; if he hadn't come, wouldn't she have spent the peanut money to buy mud and go home? The peanut farmer pointed his long scale beam over, almost poking Dahe in the face.He yelled not to sell it, not to sell it!Whoever wants to pick and choose will not sell it! Xiao Peng grabbed his scale beam and said that his scale beam had poked someone.The farmer said that he had his words first, and the peanuts were not picked!Xiao Peng and the farmer used the steelyard to tug of war.Did he say that if you pick something, you should poke your face in the face?Or the face of a lesbian, can it be poked casually?Who is to blame if you poke your eyes? !Didn't poke blind!Oh, this bastard is really at ease poking her eyes out? After all, farmers are simpler than Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng's first accusation shut down the dispute, but he followed Xiao Peng to the logical tributary in a daze. "She's not blind, isn't she keeping her eyes open?" the farmer also said to the rush-buying people. "That's because you have a bad heart and no ability! Do you hear that? Our country is in a difficult time, and these treacherous peasants took the opportunity to suck the blood of our big brother workers!" Xiao Peng snatched the scale beam into his hand, and the peasants jumped and stamped beside him, begging him not to use the scale beam to dance with the golden cudgel, and break it. "The farmers in the suburbs are the worst! We are desperately raising the market price while we are short of food and oil!" "That's not it!" Someone among the snap-up buyers responded. A Northeast family member with mud on his mouth said loudly: "These peasant brothers are too mean. They sold us some peanuts and put sauce in the mud first!" Thick peanuts, quickly stuffed into the mouth.She wanted to fill it half full, to save a meal for the children.Now her face looks like it's been muddy too. Years of pent-up anger among workers' families against suburban farmers erupted.Farmers know that workers in Shanghai cannot do without fish and shrimp, so they raise the price of fish and shrimp as high as in Shanghai.The vegetables sold were soaked in enough water, and he even quibbled when he exposed him: Where is the water soaked?It's for urinating (su)!Pink! Xiao Peng waved the scale beam, and said to his family members: "Our working class is the proletariat, and we can only bear the famine. They still have their own land! They are the propertied class!" Xiao Peng didn't care whether the truth he said was reasonable or not, Whether he is convincing or not, his style is very good, and even the speculative peanut farmer doubts his background. While playing with the scales, Xiao Peng used the stage voice of an amateur drama actor to educate the peasants of the propertied class.He kept looking at Dahe.Dahe wears a blue checkered shirt with a white background. The white is very white, and the blue is almost white. The original long sleeves were too damaged to be repaired, so they were cut into short sleeves. It is very dazzling among the workers' families.Dahe's eyes were wide open, looking at him, she seemed surprised by his sudden talent, it didn't matter whether he was a mass leader or an amateur drama actor, her gaze was always shining on him. Duohe giggled, and Xiao Peng felt like he had been drunk with two liang of wine.He must not immediately give up the stage he had just built for himself. He only heard a click, and the scale beam as thick as a sapling was folded in his hand, and his knee was hurt by the old scale beam.Regardless of the pain, he led the working class to turn around, divided the farmers' peanuts into equal parts according to the number of people, and each person gave three yuan. there is none left. The peasants yelled at them as bandits. Xiao Peng was not angry at all, he laughed, and the people surrounded Xiao Peng with joy, as if he really led a big uprising.Xiao Peng nodded and waved to the family members, but his feelings were all on Dahe.He wants to see more, what is Zhang Jian, and does he have such a wonderful eloquence?Does he have such a convincing charm? Xiao Peng had read several novels when he was in technical school, and he was not like Shao Jianbo was to Little White Pigeon to Duohe, nor like Jiang Hua was to Lin Daojing. To him, Duohe was a monster with a huge mysterious attraction.Her lisp, odd footsteps, and startling innocence are all part of her enigmatic appeal.Sometimes Xiao Shi and he suspected that she was mentally retarded, but when they saw her eyes, the suspicion was dispelled immediately: she was not only mentally sound, but also quite sensitive and understanding. He tied a half-barrel of peanuts to the frame of the car and walked with Duohe.In summer, the sun sets late, and the blast furnace that is tapping steel adds another sun to the city.He was sweating profusely from leading the uprising just now, and the sea soul shirt stuck to his chest and back, and the adhesive plaster used as a patch under his armpit was soaked with sweat, rolled up, and fell off again during his dancing speech.Every impassioned movement of his made those holes bigger, revealing wild armpit hair. Dahe looks at him from time to time and smiles. Her taciturnity is also cute. Why do ordinary women talk so much when they are in their thirties?Finally, Dahe spoke. "The clothes are torn," she said.Her eyes are so serious, although she is still smiling. He told her novels, songs, and poems all the way, and her answer was "the clothes are torn." "Here." She pointed to her armpit. She also had a small patch under her armpit, now soaked with sweat.For some reason, Xiao Peng was disturbed by her sweat-soaked armpits with small patches. He stands still.She stopped for no reason. "You make it up for me." She fixed her eyes on him, a layer of sweat like beads on the tip of her nose, and her thick bangs were also wet with sweat.She understood that what he said didn't matter, let it be blown away by a breeze.He doesn't have to say the crucial things, because a female understands a male who doesn't say anything. Tears welled up in her eyes suddenly. He was afraid. If she took it too seriously, it might be difficult to end. When they got home, Xiao Peng generously told Xiaohuan that he helped Duohe carry things, and Duohe agreed to help him mend his clothes.He was upset by Dahe's tears all night, and she would be in trouble if he was to be her savior, and she would rush forward with all her heart and start a family with him.He picked up the things that Zhang Jian used, and he was so cheap!Dahe was washing his sea soul shirt, ironing it with a flat iron, and then taking it to the sewing machine for him to mend.Hearing the rattling sound of the sewing machine, he thought: Look, she has already pounced on her and is going to drag you through life! That night Zhang Jian was on the small night shift, Xiao Shi was on the big night shift, and Xiao Peng was the only one. Xiaohuan was no match for bickering and joking, so he had to listen to the girl read her composition.The girl has a big notebook, which contains beautiful and passionate sentences that Xiao Peng Xiaoshi copied for her from newspapers, magazines, and books.Every time a girl writes a composition, she looks for it from inside.When it comes to a good harvest, it is "full of golden sand", "suspected to be white clouds falling into cotton fields", "jujube trees falling with sticks and agates"... Everyone thinks these sentences are high-level, only Xiaohuan listened and said: "What? Are you still so hungry? Why does our older child have an enlarged liver? Why does his father become a big knife man?" Or she giggled and said, "It's no wonder—it's full of golden sand. Golden sand can't cook rice! Jujube Can agate fall from a tree, can it be eaten? So, there are beggars starving to death every day in front of department stores." Sometimes Xiaohuan made the girl unable to write any more, so she would say that she was backward and leaning to the right. Xiaohuan said, "What's wrong with leaning to the right?" "Every rightist has to clean the toilet, and if he doesn't want to clean, he climbs up the blast furnace and jumps off!" Two engineers in the factory were labeled as rightists, cleaned the toilet for a while, and jumped off the 50-meter blast furnace.Generally speaking, no one will say a word when the confrontation is here. After all, things like right deviation and blast furnace jumping are far from the Zhang family. After the girl's composition was finished, Duohe also patched up the sea soul shirt for Xiaopeng.When she handed it to him, he gave her a small slip of paper.He wrote it in a hurry while the girl was reading the composition.The note is an invitation letter from him to Duohe to watch a movie. The movie is in the afternoon at 4:30.However, Duohe didn't come after the movie.Originally, he was just looking for a secret extra tenderness without much trouble, but Dahe's missed appointment made him suddenly feel heavy.She actually neglected him, she was not the kind of frivolous girl who would get sticky at the slightest touch.She dared to let him waste two movie tickets: one ticket bought an empty seat, and the other bought him a soulless shell. For a movie, his soul is all in Dahe. what is it.Is she courting death?Dare to provoke him?He is an insider, and he can disclose the dog-male relationship of the three members of the Zhang family to the security department!Is she guarding herself like a jade for Zhang Jian?This woman is full of love for Su San, so Zhang Jian is worthy of him? ! When Xiao Peng came to Zhang's house again, he didn't go upstairs and waited for the opportunity for Duohe to go downstairs alone.He knew that Duohe often went to the vegetable market that was about to close to collect yellow vegetable leaves from the old vegetable gang.Sometimes when I go to the butcher shop, after the day's meat is cut, the skin will be sold at a low price before closing, and Dahe will stand in a large group of family members to try his luck. He saw her hurrying out of the butcher's shop with a rind that had hung all day, been bitten by flies, and had curls at the edges.He went up to meet. Dahe retreated, but immediately gave him a big smile. "Why didn't you go to the movies that day?" he asked. She smiled again and shook her head.What's the matter with her childishness, all the food of more than 30 years has been for nothing?
