Chapter 5 Chapter 2 Knocking Silver Dollars

The old man Li Shiwang was planing potatoes in the field, and he went down with his head, and there was a "click".Li Shiwang squatted down and planed it with his hands, and saw that it was a stone slab.Uncover the slate, it is a crock of light. "The sun is shining on the building of my old Li's house!" Li Shiwang said, clapping the soil on his hands. When Li Shiwang was young, he made a fortune telling that he would have neither son nor property in his life. Li Shiwang glanced at his son who was picking up yams next to him, and thought to himself, the divination is not working, and now my son also has property, and I, Li Shiwang, can be regarded as alive.

His son, Li Lisheng, was swinging the pickaxe feebly. It was irritating to see that he couldn't do any work with his hands, and he couldn't stand up to an old man like him.Li Shiwang looked at it and was a little angry. He whispered: "You see, he was sweating profusely on his head. He must have done nothing good last night. It really echoed the old saying: Animals know enough and don't feel ashamed, but humans know how to be ashamed and not ashamed." Enough! Alas, there are endless troubles in this life. When I was young, I hope that my son will not grow up. When he grows up, he will not be able to ask his mother-in-law. When the mother-in-law enters the door, the red trousers are tied. Became an outsider!"

You can't let Lisheng, a bastard, know about the matter of silver dollars!Li Shiwang thought. Li Shiwang took off his trousers, squatted on the stone slab, worked a few times, and pulled out a few pieces of shit.He said to his son who was working: "Lisheng, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach today. Let's not dig. In this life, can you still finish the work right now? Forget it, you go back and watch your wife. I'll finish it." This shit, go back too!" Li Shengjian said, stopped turning his head, and said seriously: "Daddy, do you want to see a doctor?"

"Don't look at it! We are not so expensive. We are short of money to buy hot peppers. How dare we go to the doctor?" "I'm leaving!" After Lisheng finished speaking, he picked up the shovel and went down the slope. Li Shiwang was a thief, fearing that his son would return to Chang'an again, so he continued to squat down and go out. When people swear at others, they say, "No matter how clean you are, you still have a bag of shit in your stomach", which is true.Li Shiwang was working hard, his stomach was rumbling, but it was dry and thin, and he pulled out a big lump.

This has something to do with Li Shiwang's state of mind today.When I poop on weekdays, I don’t dare to push myself hard. I just poop a little symbolically, so that my stomach doesn’t hold back.In the days when he was used to poverty, he knew that he was empty, so he had to quickly fill it from his mouth. If he didn't fill it, his stomach would be flat and his waist would be weak, so he couldn't move the hammer.However, this is different, there is a jar of silver dollars under the buttocks. Li Shiwang worked hard and had a good time.After pulling, I feel refreshed and energetic.He stood up and was about to pull up his trousers when he suddenly heard voices from under the ridge.The good Li Shiwang quickly took off his pants and kicked them down again.

On the mountain road, Zhang Jiashan and his two partners came. The incident with the widow of Tian Zhuang Tian, ​​thanks to the help of Zhang Jiashan, was considered to have an ending.As soon as the forensic police officer left, Zhang Jiashan said: "Being human to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, let's help Tian Benkuan, who has never experienced anything in the world, and let him be buried before leaving!" Li Wenhua and Guzi's godmother had no objections.Therefore, all the staff of the Zhangjiashan Civil Mediation Office, together with six relatives of Tian's family and neighbors, worked together to settle the widow Tian in the soil.

People in northern Shaanxi buried people in the morning.When the sun is red, people will go to the ground, this is the rule.After Fu Tian's widow went up the mountain, Zhang Jiashan and his party declined Tian Benkuan's persuasion, traveled through the mountains and returned to Liuliu Town, but they unexpectedly met Li Shiwang on the Licun Mountain. A woman is careful.While walking, Godmother Guzi suddenly smelled a smell of excrement. She stopped talking and laughing, raised her head, looked up, and saw Li Shiwang squatting in the potato field.Guzi's godmother hurriedly turned her face away and walked along the side of the road.

Seeing someone coming, Li Shiwang lowered his head, didn't look at the road, and braced himself.This is how the country people deal with these kinds of things.Therefore, Li Shiwang's behavior is not out of line. But Zhang Jiashan, who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, doesn't let Li Shiwang go. Zhangjiashan is on the mountain road, and walking is boring, seeing this old acquaintance Li Shiwang, how can he let it go?Zhangjiashan stood still, pointed at Li Shiwang, and said, "Li Shiwang, you old man, are you still alive?" Li Shiwang could only raise his head.He first glanced at Guzi's godmother, which was an apology, which meant that it was the old man Zhang Jiashan who provoked him, so he couldn't help him if he didn't look up.After looking at it, he yelled at Zhangjiashan: "I'm dead? Zhangjiashan, the two of us, it's not sure who will die first! Tell you Zhangjiashan, I, Li Shiwang, haven't lived enough, and I still have to live a good life. God!"

Seeing that Li Shiwang's evil energy had been aroused, Zhang Jiashan couldn't help being happy for a while.He answered correctly: "Li Shiwang, whoever dies first between the two of us has his own arrangements in the book of life and death of Lord Yan. Let's leave it alone. But right now, you have one thing to do!" "What can I do?" Li Shiwang became nervous. Zhang Jiashan raised a finger, and said somewhat mysteriously: "What is sitting under your buttocks, you pretend I don't know?" "What are you sitting on?" Li Shiwang felt a little guilty.

"Hey, I said it, I'm afraid you will untie it. I still don't say it, let you be confused for the rest of your life!" Zhang Jiashan played tricks. "Tell me, don't you say you were raised by a woman!" "It's... a... spread of... shit!" Seeing that, Li Shiwang relaxed. Li Shiwang let out a long breath, and said: "Zhangjiashan, next to Zhangjiashan, go on your way, don't be so noisy here. I heard that you opened some kind of mediation office in the town, talking nonsense, The money used to deceive people is really getting old and restless. Let me tell you Zhangjiashan, the village is peaceful, I’m afraid it’s not easy for you lip-smacking people to earn money!”

Zhang Jiashan laughed: "Old man Shiwang, don't dare to say that. No one will put up an exemption card. It's good for everyone if things don't happen. If they do, no one can stop them. If they don't work out, I will still be at your house!" Hearing this, the old man in Shiwan was a little annoyed: "Zhangjiashan, you climb the ball far away for me. You are a lot of age, and you say such unlucky words. Run to my door, come and hate me!" At this time, Godmother Guzi made trouble, she slapped her nostrils with her hands, looked at the old man Shiwan and said, "It's hard to say who stinks!" "There's no need to spend all this spitting with you, we have to hurry!" Zhang Jiashan said. After finishing speaking, the group of people followed the white path, turned over the beam, and headed towards Liuliu Town. Seeing them walking away, the old man in Shiwan stood up and lifted his trousers. He looked around, looking for something to wipe his butt.As a result, the stone egg was not found, so I had to pick up a yam. After wiping his buttocks, the old man Shiwan held his trousers in one hand and waved his arms in the other, throwing the potato eggs in the direction of Zhangjiashan. "Zhang Jiashan, fuck your mother!" After scolding, Li Shiwang tied up his trousers, turned around and uncovered the stone slab.Facing the white jar of Guangyang, he admired it for a while, and then took out the earthen jar. Li Shiwang took off his coat, wrapped Can'er, hugged him in his arms, hummed a song, and walked towards the village. What he hummed was probably "The Bachelor Crying His Wife". When Li Shiwang returned to the village with the crock in his arms, a pair of eyes were peeping behind a south wall.This person is none other than Li Lisheng. Li Lisheng saw that his father's behavior was a little strange, so he was extra careful and peeked around the corner of the village.Seeing that his father's arms were covered with clothes, which looked like an earthen jar, he already had a feeling in his heart. Lisheng and his father Li Shiwang lived separately.Since the year when the daughter-in-law got married, they have separated into separate households.There are three holes in the cave, the old man from Shiwang occupies one hole, and the son and daughter-in-law occupy two holes.The land is also planted separately, and the meals on weekdays are naturally separated, and each has its own stove. Ordinarily, the old man in Shiwan has only one son, so it doesn't make sense to separate him from Dali.But, logically, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Liuliu Town.After all, most of the troubles are caused by the daughter-in-law. The erg society elevates women and turns them into female worms one by one.Generally speaking, the half-starved and half-fed conditions in rural areas are controlled by women.A woman is careful and knows how to save money. She sews and mends and makes ends meet. She holds the money in her hand and is willing to spend it. With economic power, this family is considered to be half.If you meet some women who know how to play tricks, they will talk sweetly for a while, and give you a poached egg for you to eat, and then they will be embarrassing, and you will not be allowed to take off your pants and go to the kang, telling you to work hard.So and so, toss twice, if you don't believe me, man doesn't ①. If the man is one, all the women in this family will be taken care of.The first step for a woman to be in charge of the house is to calculate carefully, to see if she can save more money in and out of the house, and after all the calculations, it will be the elderly.Therefore, if there is a crying, a storm, if the old man is not interested, he will force it;The son naturally cried a lot and stayed for a while. The old man said that I want to be at ease, so there is no need to keep him. If you are my good son, you can let me go.Generally speaking, the son's retention is half-truth and half-false, just to block Murakami's tongue, and Erge stopped when he saw what he said. Everything in the world has its reason.Economic constraints, the environment dictates, so similar.Take the Li family we are talking about, the same is true.Once the gate is closed, it seems to be a complete family, but there are so many mysteries in it. No wonder the old man in Shiwan got money and wanted to avoid his son. This Lisheng's daughter-in-law is a little more difficult than other mothers-in-law and aunts in the village.This is the daughter of a landlord from a neighboring village.Class stigma, Chairman Mao said, we must talk about it.The daughter-in-law is well-proportioned, with a white face and two big nipples, which sway when she walks, no wonder it makes Lisheng so confused all day long.However, when it comes to doing things, it's terrible. The old man Shiwan has been in the same pot with her for a few days, and he doesn't have much affection for this daughter-in-law. At that moment, Lisheng stared at the window paper for a while.This old man in Shiwan is a burning bun. He got a jar of silver dollars.Li Lisheng looked through the window to make sure, then tiptoed, left the window, and went back to his own kiln. Lisheng's daughter-in-law was sitting on the edge of the kang, picking up the soles of her shoes, and when she saw Lisheng came back, she asked, "You planed potatoes for the elder today, why did you come back before noon?" If Lisheng had a lock on his mouth and didn't tell about the silver dollar in the crock pot, he wouldn't have caused so many troubles later, but this baby's mouth is broken, and he can't put things in his mind. I took it out and gave it to my daughter-in-law to please her. Lisheng leaned against the door, looked outside the door for a while, then closed the door, and moved closer to his wife, wanting to speak. "What else can you do?" The daughter-in-law looked down on him a little. Lisheng said, "if I tell you this, I'm afraid you'll salivate for as long as Zhang Erchang!" "What's the matter?" the daughter-in-law became serious. Lisheng said: "You don't know, big heart, full of blindness, when digging potatoes this morning, he took a big hoe and dug out a jar of silver dollars. He was afraid that I would divide it, so he insisted on sending me away. He alone People gobble it up!" "Is this the truth?" "Truth!" "Not making up a lie?" "no!" "Erg, what about silver dollars?" "Brought a lot of silver dollars back to my kiln. Erg, I'm counting!" The daughter-in-law saw and said that she knew it was true.She paused for a moment, and said angrily, "He's a naked old man. He doesn't know anything today. What do you want these silver dollars for?" "I said it too!" "Lisheng, don't worry, this matter can't be let go!" Not to mention that Lisheng and his wife hid in the kiln day and night to make plans for the silver dollar, but said that the old man in Shiwang, after getting the jar of silver dollars, felt restless and worried. The poverty of the older generations of the old Han people in Shiwan, where have they seen so much money.Ergo got such a large amount of foreign money in the air, it really made people dizzy.He held the earthen pot and looked at it for a few days, and got tired of looking at it. He felt that the money was not worth spending, and it was not appropriate. There is a widow in the village whose surname is Zhao, so people call her Widow Zhao.When the old man in Shiwan was young, this widow Zhao was also young, and the man was still alive.One day when they were working on the mountain and took shelter from the rain, the two took shelter in a small earthen kiln dug by a sheep guard.The old man in Shiwan had a new wife, and he was in high spirits. In the small earthen kiln, the two of them were next to each other.At first, he was afraid that the woman would turn his back on him, but seeing his anxious look, the woman not only didn't get annoyed, but instead smiled and said: "Erge is in fashion to eat relief food, I'm here, I'll give you a relief This refugee!" In a word, the thing around the waist of the old man in Teswan became harder and harder.There was no one in the mountains, and there was a thunderstorm and lightning outside the kiln, so the two of them did a wonderful thing in this earthen kiln. Once you have it, you want to think twice.Unexpectedly, the second time, it was so easy to meet her. Not only was this woman unhappy, she even turned her back and gave him a bad face.The third time, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he came to the backyard of Chen's house, picked up a cockroach and put it in, and put it down, but instead of attracting Widow Chen, a dog came out.If the old man Shiwan hadn't run so fast, the dog would have bitten his leg. This happened twenty or thirty years ago.Erge, when the old man in Shiwan was bored, he suddenly remembered this matter.When he thought of this in front of the silver dollar jar, he understood, women who "do not want money but want to be prosperous" are rare in the world. Li Shiwang, his dry bones can't squeeze out four taels of oil, so what is he looking for when he is acquainted? The Taoist ideal understood, and the old man Shiwan laughed. The old man in Shiwan still has some daily living money on hand, which is saved on weekdays for emergencies.Erg, dare to spend it.There was a fair in Liuliu Town, so the old man in Shiwan went to the town, bought the cheapest jacket, and put it on.The cadres who came from Ergo to the countryside all wore this attire.I bought another pair of plastic-soled cloth shoes to wear on my feet.A bald head, had been shaved not too long ago, and the hair was not considered long. In the old days, he had to wait another half a month to shave. . That night, the old man in Shiwan set off with a silver dollar in his pocket.On the way, I thought again, it is best to be in a pair, one is auspicious, and the other is also for this contemptuous Widow Zhao, who can do one thing.After thinking about it, he turned around and took another piece.After doing this matter, the old man Shiwang walked quickly. After a while, he arrived at the back door of Widow Zhao. Then he stopped and looked through the crack of the door. He took out two silver dollars from his waist and started knocking. "Dangdangdangdang"! "Dangdangdangdang"!The sound of silver dollars was very crisp, just like the sound of the small river beside the village. The widow heard a noise in the kiln. She didn't know what it was, but she knew someone was coming.The widow asked for a long time, and found out that it was Li Shiwang.It doesn't matter if you don't listen to this name, but when you hear this name, the widow is annoyed and tells Shiwang to leave quickly. The widow said: "Do you want to drink milk, fool? My own milk has already been sucked dry by my son!" Seeing Widow Zhao swearing, Li Shiwang didn't get angry. He just advised Widow Zhao to listen to the sound of "clanging, clanging". If she knows, she will definitely open the door. The widow never dreamed that this old man in Swan, with Ergo's waist so thick, Guangyang, whom he hadn't seen for decades, had Guangyang, and he got two yuan apiece. The widow didn't wait for the silver dollar to continue knocking. She was afraid that if she knocked for a long time, others would overhear her and spoil her good deed. She put on her clothes and slipped down to the kang with her shoes on. She opened the door and stretched out her hand again. Embrace, and embrace the old man of Shiwang in his arms. In this way, the old man Shiwan had a romantic time on the widow's kang. I don't know if the widow is wrong or he is wrong. This time, compared to the time twenty years ago, it feels far worse.The widow said that it was his fault, that the shovel was not used for a long time, and the nature would fade away, and it would break down as soon as it was used. However, those household items that are often used have become stronger and stronger the more they are used for ten or eight years.This seems to be the same reason. After all, the old man in Shiwan has spent half his life in matters concerning men and women, so he knows as much as widows, but he does understand the principle of shoveling. The widow said she wanted him to come back in two days.The old man in Shiwan asked if he wanted to bring silver dollars.The widow said, of course you have to bring it, knock on the silver dollar once, and open the door once.The old man Shiwan had already begun to lose his mind at this time, so he agreed immediately. Good things don't go out, bad things come in a gust of wind.This old Shiwan man was holding silver dollars, and like a male dog in heat, he knocked on Widow Zhao's door every night.You think, who can hide Li Village, a village as big as a slap in the face? This matter reached the ears of Lisheng's daughter-in-law. This morning, Lisheng's daughter-in-law went to the spring to fetch water, went down the slope, and at the turn, she saw Widow Zhao carrying a load of water, flashing over.Widow Zhao's face is usually gray, and when she sees someone, she looks like she's a different person, her face is full of brilliance, and her eyes are full of amorous feelings.He walked up to him and took a closer look, only to see that some cream and sea clam oil had been smeared on his face, and then he looked at his feet, the trousers were rolled up high, revealing the pink socks on his feet. "Oh, auntie, your socks are so bright, did you buy them from a peddler?" asked the daughter-in-law. "En!" Widow Zhao clapped her feet triumphantly, and the burden passed by in a flash. The daughter-in-law felt that Widow Zhao was a little strange today.After a while, by the spring, she found the reason. When the daughter-in-law fetched water and walked to the spring, she heard two gossiping women in the village waiting for water and whispering.While talking about the past, a widow Zhao was mentioned, and her husband, old man Wang, was mentioned.After hearing this, the daughter-in-law became more attentive, stood there, and finished listening to the words. An aunt said: "You know Widow Zhao, how can you do it? If you meet someone, you won't go on the road?" "Why?" asked another. "She's got a rich date!" "From our village, or from another village?" "From our village! Old Shiwan!" "Old man Swan? You're joking! Old man Swan hits his hips hard, how can he be rich? If he wants to be rich, everyone in this world will be rich!" "Old Ergo Shiwang, it's not the same as before. Let me tell you, I heard that he took out potatoes and took out a jar of ingots. Someone saw it and said it well!" "Seeing Yuan Bao, slow talk about Widow Zhao, who won't be tempted!" "Yes, these years, the old man Shiwang has been flirting in front of others. Widow Zhao thought he was poor and skinny, so she refused to let him touch her body. This time, Li Shiwang took two silver dollars at night and knocked on the widow's door. The widow There was no trip, and the door opened with a squeak!" "If you want to envy that ingot, you also go to seduce that old man. Let's bet that you will succeed. Your face is much smoother than Widow Zhao's!" "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" The two women, giggling, huddled together. Lisheng's daughter-in-law changed her mind, and she returned with a load of empty buckets. "Lisheng, go out and get a job! Come back in a year or so, and this ingot will be ours!" The daughter-in-law said to the man in the kiln. Lisheng patted his head in confusion: "This ingot doesn't have long legs, so how can it be ours when I'm not at home?" "Yuanbao doesn't have legs, but people have legs. He's got tricks, but I have a wall-jumping method. You don't have to ask about the channels here!" "I listen to you!" Lisheng said. "Before you go, fill up the water tank." "That's natural!" Lisheng fetched water for the water jar, and Lisheng's daughter-in-law started cooking.When the water urn is full, the meal will be ready. This is a good meal specially prepared by the daughter-in-law for Lisheng.After eating, Li gave birth to a bag, carried the mason furniture on his back and set out on the road.Before going on the road, looking at the watery aunt, I felt a little bit reluctant.When the daughter-in-law saw her, she talked sweetly and said a few more words, coaxing Li Lisheng to go on the road. As soon as Lisheng left, Lisheng's daughter-in-law first boiled a pot of boiling water, washed her hair, and wiped her body again. After washing her body refreshed, she began to rummage through the box again.She wanted to find some more colorful clothes and dress up.Although the situation of the rural people is poorer, Lisheng's daughter-in-law does have the clothes. After all, she has just married, and there are a few red and green clothes under the box.There is a woolen blue top, which is the most lovely. Lisheng's daughter-in-law remembers that when she was wearing it, the eyes of the old man Shiwan slipped on her several times.A woman's scheming can be known from this detail alone.Lisheng's daughter-in-law remembered it, so she didn't hesitate anymore and chose this one to wear. On the lower body, he wore a pair of red trousers.The color is a bit sour, even Lisheng's daughter-in-law felt it, but because of its sourness, Lisheng's wife thought of it.Under the feet are a pair of plastic-soled shoes with straps.Although the shoes were handmade by myself, Lisheng bought the white plastic sole from Liuliu Town for 80 cents.Therefore, there is a bit of foreign style on these shoes. After tidying up from head to toe, I took out a mirror and looked at it once more, and then came to the old man Shiwan to talk. Lisheng's daughter-in-law said: "Lisheng went out to find a job, and he won't come back for ten and a half months. You don't have to start a new stove. Let's eat together!" If it is a daughter-in-law, it is not too much.It is common for such families in rural areas to separate and reunite.When Lisheng is at home on weekdays, he often brings over a bowl of delicious food.Take farming as an example. Although they are grown separately, Lisheng still comes to help when encountering more urgent tasks. For example, Lisheng came to help his father take the initiative to plan potatoes that day.After all, it's still a family. When the old man in Shiwan saw what his wife said, he agreed. After agreeing, when he took a closer look at his daughter-in-law, she put one hand on the door frame, gave him a smile, then turned around and left quickly. A smell of foreign pancreas rippling in the kiln.The old man in Shiwan raised his nose and took two breaths, knowing that it was true.It is always a pleasure to have a courteous daughter-in-law.Until now, the old man Shiwan still dare not think about it.He didn't know that the world had completely changed because of that jar of silver dollars. It is also not true to say that the old man in Shiwan hadn't thought of that matter at all.The appearance of the daughter-in-law, in the northern Shaanxi dialect, is called "Saoqingqier". I don't know who it is for, but this delicate-skinned and tender-skinned daughter-in-law is simply not comparable to that of Widow Zhao. Yes, therefore, some time before the meal, the old man Shiwan felt that he didn't think so much about that widow Zhao. As soon as his thoughts on Widow Zhao faded, the old man Shiwang began to feel sorry for those silver dollars again.He took down the earthen pot from the kiln on the wall and began to count the silver dollars. In the afternoon, Lisheng's daughter-in-law came over and invited the old man Shiwang to dinner. "This meal is delicious and hard to digest." The old man Shiwan said in his heart.Even though he said so, he still couldn't help himself and followed the smell of foreign soap into the kitchen. Lisheng's daughter-in-law cooked some appetizers and brought a pot of wine to take away.These are all fresh in the countryside.The old man in Shiwan refused to move his chopsticks at first, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of Lisheng's wife.After three glasses of wine, Lisheng's daughter-in-law picks him up with words, not afraid that a prosperous old man won't take the bait. Lisheng's daughter-in-law picked up a small plate, put some chopped shallots in the plate into the bowl of the old man Shiwan, watched him eat, and then said: "Brother, these days, you have been dark in the middle of the night, What are you running out for?" This is an embarrassing question.If this old man in Shiwan can hold his own, he should get up and leave after hearing this.But, as I said before, there should be something to do, this old man in Shiwan, drinking and drinking at the moment, his face is red, his eyes are bright, he keeps looking at his wife, unwilling to move. The old man in Shiwan said: "You said something embarrassing in front of your juniors. I have suffered for most of my life, and I have been a father and a mother. I brought up Lisheng, and I saw that I married a woman and became a family. Erg At night, the older one was flustered in the kiln, and he went out to skewer. Don't make a big joke, this old bone can still live for a few years!" "Calling in?" Lisheng's daughter-in-law asked. "Well, drop by!" The old man Shiwan blushed a little. Lisheng's daughter-in-law said, "Daddy, this is your fault." "What's the matter, what's bothering you?" the old man in Shiwan said, feeling emboldened by the wine, and became annoyed. "Boss, I don't think you're cheating. I mean, there are women out there, and there are women in our house too. Why bother to run out blindly. You have old arms and legs, and you can't run if someone chases you over!" The old man in Shiwan held a mouthful of corn kernels in his mouth and forgot to chew. He glanced at his wife and said, "With your words, I won't go out tonight!" "Just wait for your words, big!" The daughter-in-law stuck out her tongue and smiled. That night, the old man in Shiwan plucked up his courage and went to knock on the door.Just after three or two beeps, someone in the kiln answered. "Who is it?" asked the kiln. The old man in Shiwan replied, "It's me! Didn't you ask me to come over for dinner today?" "Who called who? You speak clearly!" The old man in Shiwan was in a hurry: "That's because I hooked up with you, this should work!" "That's about the same!" In the kiln, Lisheng's daughter-in-law laughed, but she said again, "Daddy, do you knock on other people's doors in the same way?" "Then how do you knock?" "You have to get water, big! How can you dip a dry finger like yours in salt!" The old man in Shiwan had no choice but to go back to the kiln, take out a silver dollar, and knock on the door. "The sound is wrong, it's loud! You haven't heard anyone say that you can't make a good slap!" The old man in Shiwan had to take out two yuan. "Dangdangdang"! "Dangdangdang"!The sound of silver dollars rang out crisply. The door opened.Lisheng's daughter-in-law pulled herself together, opened the door, then turned around, and got back into bed again. After the old man in Shiwang entered, Lisheng's daughter-in-law said: "Close the door, sir! In the folk songs of northern Shaanxi, there is a discount for the father-in-law to burn his daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, in our house, this incident will be performed again." The old man Wang didn't care about being ashamed, and as soon as he took off the corners of the quilt, he got into the bed of Lisheng's daughter-in-law. Talking time has come to the early winter season.No one in the village knew about the filth in the Li family's yard.Every three to five days, the old Shiwang man would take silver dollars and knock on Lisheng's wife's door, and this has become a habit.As for Lisheng, after Qiuli left, he never came back. A few days ago, he asked his fellow villagers to bring some money back, and he also sent a message that he was outside a kiln for others, and he took care of food and drink, and he could earn a few wages.Right now he is busy, and he will be back when the kiln is closed. Lisheng's daughter-in-law counted, and when Lisheng came back, the silver dollars in the old man's earthen pot in Shiwang would be almost full, but time must be seized.After calculating it, I will be more considerate to this old man.As for the old man in Shiwan, he was obsessed with others, and as usual, what he was thinking about all day long was his wife's hot bed. On this day, Zhangjiashan in Liuliu Town took Guzi's godmother and Li Wenhua to a place called Laomiaogou via Li Village to deal with a lawsuit between Ma Chengming and his wife Xiaocui. , Met the old man Shiwan. The old man in Shiwan wore a newly bought cheap down jacket and padded jacket, and leaned against a wall at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun.The padded coat is filled with chicken feathers, and from time to time thick and thin hairs are exposed from the surface of the clothes.The other old men in the village who were basking in the sun stayed away from him because they thought his hair was sticking to others. Zhang Jiashan saw Li Shiwang from a distance, and teased him: "Li Shiwang, you look so unlucky, you are about to cause trouble!" The old man Shiwang was flustered at leisure, and he was happy to see someone answering him, so he replied, "I'm calling for trouble? Zhangjiashan, who are you blackmailing? Tell you, Zhangjiashan, I, Li Shiwang, have hot peppers on my hat and braids, and I live a decent life." It's red!" Zhang Jiashan said: "If you don't listen to me, I won't say it. If you keep it in your stomach, it won't be bad. Why do I say it? I will walk on my Yangguan Road, and you will walk on your single-plank bridge. People with two surnames , why bother to provoke this rascal!" "Say, Zhang Jiashan, why am I getting into trouble soon?" The old man in Shiwang felt a little guilty when he said this, "You old man, have you heard something?" "Of course I heard it! I traveled from village to household and heard a lot about the old man here!" "What's the matter? Tell me!" "If you really want me to say it, I'll say it. It's just that my mouth in Zhangjiashan is difficult to open. If you want me to speak up, I will break the maze. Old man Shiwan, you have to pay for it." "Erge is really blind in this world. You have to pay for everything, and you have no affection. Zhangjiashan, tell me, how much do you want?" "I heard that you old man has got foreign money. I don't want more or less, just two oceans!" "I have a thick waist, two oceans is nothing. It's just that there is a reason for the money!" "There is a reason, it's called consultation fee. Consultation fee, do you understand? You have to pay the registration fee first, like a hospital. This is a new term, and it is a provision of the regulations stipulated by Zhangjiashan Civil Mediation." "Magnetic loose fee! Magnetic loose fee!" The old man in Shiwang pondered for a moment and said angrily, "Zhangjiashan, after a long time of trouble, you stole my money and treated me as a magnetic loose ①. Let me tell you, I have no money in my pocket. You have money, and you have a use for it. Go on your way, I won't listen to your nonsense here!" "You don't regret it!" Zhang Jiashan threatened again, and waited for a long time, but there was no response. When he looked up, he saw that the old man Shiwang had closed his eyes, and ignored him. After leaving Li Village, Zhangjiashan and his party continued to walk and arrived at Laomiaogou.The case of Laomiaogou is not called "heart blossoming" or "knocking silver dollars", but "boys and girls depend on men", which is even more strange than the previous two cases.Food should be eaten bite by bite, and words should be spoken sentence by sentence. Let us finish the description of "knocking silver dollars" and then talk about "boys and girls depend on men". Leaving Laomiaogou, Zhangjiashan and his party walked around the village again, and saw a thin stonemason in one place, chiseling stones, and three new kilns beside him were waiting to be enclosed.The stonemason didn't recognize Zhang Jiashan, but Zhang Jiashan recognized the stonemason. "Young student, are you Li Lisheng?" "How do you know my name is Lisheng?" the mason asked after stopping his work. "You are the son of Li Shiwang in Li Village. You were born standing upright, so you are called Lisheng. You forgot that your mother died of dystocia to give birth to you!" "Your words are true. So, who are you?" "My name is Zhang Jiashan!" "Oh, it's Zhang Ganda. Look at my poor eyesight. When I'm at home, I often hear my dad talking about you!" "The two of us worked together as long-term labor for the landlord when we were young! He guards the sheep, and I herd the cattle!" "Zhang Ganda, you came from Li Village, right? When I passed by Li Village, my family was fine!" "Oops, baby, something's not right!" "What's wrong?" "Your daughter-in-law will be caught by wolves!" "Zhang Gan is making a big joke, there are no wolves in Erg society!" "Why are there no wolves? Look at the "Fushi Daily", which says with certainty that returning farmland to forests, ecological balance, and wolves have returned to the Xingzi River Basin!" When Lisheng heard this, his face turned pale and he lost his mind: "Then what should I do? I have to go back!" Zhang Jiashan saw that Lisheng had admitted the truth, and quickly said: "My nephew, I am joking, I have nothing to say, you must not take it seriously. How can you let a wolf take a big living person! When passing Li Village , I didn’t see your daughter-in-law, but when you are older, he is a very nice old man, so he can bask in the sun on the sunny slope.” "The mouth is so hairy, and the words are so indifferent, which makes the baby anxious." Guzi's godmother complained to Zhang Jiashan. Seeing this opportunity, Li Wenhua added two more sentences: "Zhang Qianda is lighting fires everywhere, because he thinks the world is too peaceful, so?" In any case, Zhang Jiashan's words still made Li Lisheng feel very tired. "It's fine!" Lisheng said with a dazed expression, "It's just that I've been out looking for work for a few days, so I have to go home for a while. I'm so flustered these days, I'm always thinking about home!" "It's good to go home and have a look!" Zhang Jiashan said. What Zhang Jiashan said made Li Lisheng flustered and confused.Immediately quit the job at hand, picked up the furniture, and returned to Li Village. After a three-day journey, I arrived in two days. When I arrived home, it was midnight. Lisheng pushed the door and it was closed.Fortunately, the courtyard wall is not high, so I jumped over from the courtyard wall.In the past, when Lisheng went out to work and came back late, he also jumped over the wall in the same way. Therefore, it is not because of any other intentions to do this this time, but purely out of good intentions, not wanting to disturb his family. When I came to my kiln, I pushed the door, but it was still closed.This time, it is impossible to jump into the wall.Although Lisheng felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and didn't want to disturb her drowsiness, it was impossible not to disturb her this time, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door. The old man in Shiwan was so fateful that he happened to be lazy that night and didn't knock on his wife's door.Therefore, only the daughter-in-law is serving in this kiln.Originally, nothing would happen this way, but this daughter-in-law was not cautious enough in her words, and Lisheng finally noticed it, and a mess broke out. The daughter-in-law was dazed and woke up by the knock on the door, thinking it was the old man there who came to harass her again.Drowsiness was interrupted, and he was a little unhappy at first, but he heard that the sound of knocking on the door was wrong, so he turned over, still fell asleep, and cursed: "You are such a dog who doesn't remember to eat, we made an appointment Password, you forgot again!" "What code?" Outside the kiln, Lisheng asked in confusion. "Knock the silver dollar!" "What's the matter with knocking silver dollars, I don't understand!" The daughter-in-law heard that the words were not right, and understood that Lisheng had returned, and her words suddenly became a little messy: "Who am I? came back?" "I'm going back to my home, what do I need to say hello to! Weird thing!" Standing at the door, Lisheng said in a low voice. The daughter-in-law realized that she had said the wrong thing again, so she hurriedly got off the kang and opened the door. "Look at you, you're covered in stones, come on, I'll sweep it for you before you get on the kang!" said the daughter-in-law. Lisheng stepped back and entered the kiln. He ignored his daughter-in-law's attention and asked loudly, "Don't interrupt, you bastard, who were you waiting for just now?" "I'm not waiting for anyone!" "You can't hide it from me!" "实话实说吧，李立生，我是在等银元！" 媳妇从柜子上，拿起个瓦罐来，摇了摇，瓦罐"呛啷呛啷"地响。媳妇说："立生，你再迟回来几天，这罐子就满了。谁叫你这么早回来的！" 立生一下子明白了。 "败坏门风的东西，我是缺你吃来，还是缺你穿来？你干下这号叫人指脊梁骨的事，你叫我这脸以后咋见人哩！" 立生说完，扬手给了媳妇一巴掌。 媳妇手一松，银元罐子掉在地上，撒了一地。 媳妇大哭起来。她也不是个省油的灯，哭着哭着，觉得委屈，就和立生扭打起来。 这边窑里，士旺老汉其实早早就醒了。这会儿，听到这边窑里厮打，穿了衣服，过来拉架。 推开门来，见满地都是银元，士旺老汉俯身去捡。 媳妇在扭打中，瞅空喊李士旺："大，事情还不是因你而起，你光顾得捡银元，不顾得我了。赶快来帮一手！" 士旺老汉见说，运足力气，一个箭步冲过去，用光头撞在李立生的胸膛上。 可怜立生，走了几天的山路，又饥又累，加上身子单薄，哪经得起这一撞，眼见得仰面朝天，向后倒去。 立生倒下后，后脑勺子恰好碰到了锅沿上，登时脑浆迸出，死了。 士旺老汉见了这阵势，吓坏了，弯腰去扶。扶是扶起来了，可是手一松开，立生的尸首，又软绵绵地倒下了。 "立生呀立生，你死得好可怜呀！你跟你大你妈，莫非是前世的冤家？你生下时，是立着生的，害了你娘一条命，今个儿，大又亲手把你送上了黄泉路。大这是怎么了？" 立生媳妇却还镇静，她冷眼看着，说："大，这是立生的福分浅，他的阳寿到了，怨不得谁！事已至此，也就不说这些淡球话了。你说这摊场，咋办？" "我也没经过这事，哪有个主意！我看，立生这样死了，恐怕得去报官！" "是要报官，蝼蚁虽小，也是一条命哩！夫妻斗殴，误伤致死，前庄有的是例子，不会把我怎么样的。你是无事人，你把银元拾了，回窑里睡觉去吧，就当不知道这回事！我收拾收拾，前去报官！" 法医验过尸以后，断定是夫妻斗殴，误伤致死。将媳妇拘留了半个月，放了。 媳妇回来后，说："这下，用不着偷偷摸摸了，晚上大门一关，你过来盛就是了。" "那用不着敲银元了？"士旺老汉还记着敲银元的事。 "用不着了。你把银元，连罐子抱过来就是了！" 瓦罐拿过来后，瞅了空儿，趁士旺老汉不注意，媳妇将满满的一罐子银元，抱回了娘家。 娘家人拿起瓦罐一看，吃了一惊。原来这银元就是她家祖上的。瓦罐上刻的有字，字原来叫土遮着，看不清，稍一擦拭，字便清清楚楚地显露出来了。 媳妇让娘家人将瓦罐藏好了，然后折过身，回到李村。进了门，见到士旺老汉，媳妇说："大，有个事情，我得告知你一声！" "啥事？" "我要回娘家。我已经给娘家说好了，暂且搬回娘家去住。有了合适的主儿，就改嫁！" "pardon!" "我要改嫁走了！" "你不能走！" "大，你管不了这些事情了。《婚姻法》上有规定，寡妇改嫁，理所应当。立生一死，我就成了自由的身子了。" "你敢走！你活着是我李家的人，死了是我李家的鬼。你敢迈出楼门半步，看我不打断你的腿！" "尔格是新社会了，没人吃你这一套。我是好心，给你打一声招呼，搁给别人，招呼都不打一声，就抬脚走人了。" 话说到这里，士旺老汉算是没诀了，他软了下来。他央告媳妇，看媳妇能不能再留些日子，不要回娘家了，就在这李家盛着，慢慢物色了人再走。 "我不留了，大！你做过的事你知道。叫人抓住，坏了名声，到时候谁再要我？" "你是在讹诈我？" "就算是吧！" 至此，士旺老汉明白了，这出戏该收场了，这场梦该醒了。他颓然地圪蹴下来，两手抱住头，恨恨地说："自从得了那一罐子银元以后，我好像做梦一般，尔格，一场大梦算是醒了。歹毒不过妇人心，原来你成了这么多的精，都是为了那银元！" 媳妇接住话头说："大，你说对了！不过你也没有吃亏，你好风光了些日子哩！" 媳妇腋下夹着个包袱，离去了。 院子里现在空荡荡的，好像一座坟墓一般。李士旺站在大门口，目送着媳妇的背影，消失在一道山梁后边了。 他折回眼光，望了望这个家，自言自语地说："尔格我儿子也没有了，媳妇也没有了，财宝也没有了，落得了个场光地净。唉，洪福太浅，浮不起财，反而惹了一身的臊气。" 春天，夏天，秋天，冬天。一年有四季，四季有二十四节气。永远有的。生活踏着它的节拍，缓慢地走着。你欢乐，它是这样，你痛苦，它也是这样。它走着自己的行程，呆板，固定，冷酷。 又过了些日子，张家山一行经过李村的时候，看见士旺老汉正圪蹴在那里晒太阳。腔子①前挂一个手帕，他正用手帕擦鼻涕。张家山看见，士旺老汉明显地苍老了。 张家山说："李大哥，你的事情我都听说了。我真后悔。我这舌头根子上有毒，你看，几句玩笑话，说得你家破人亡。老伙计，你骂我一顿吧！" 李士旺睁开半闭的眼睛，说："不怨你，张老弟！命里该吃球，走到天尽头！你忘了，年轻时咱们一块儿上南路，路上，算命先生给我算过一卦，说我无儿无女，老景凄凉。尔格，这一卦应了！" 张家山没话找话："事情就这么认了么？我是说那一坛子元宝。李大哥，你要是想折腾这事，我给你出头。这次纯粹是情义，不要什么咨询费了！" 李士旺的眼睛里，亮了一下火花，接着又熄灭了："算了吧，张老弟！我也不怕你笑话，我有短头在那婆姨手里攥着哩！" "这么说……认了？" "认咧！"
