Chapter 7 Chapter Four: He Hongmei's Complaint

But at the entrance of the court in Liuliu Town, it was another bustling day.Early in the morning, a peasant girl came to the door of the court and sat cross-legged on the ground with a piece of paper spread out in front of her. It happened to be a fair day, and the people in the town and the satellite villages around Liuliu Town crowded the street around nine o'clock in the morning.The calls of people on the street and the calls of various animals were low and high.The gate of the court has become a scene at this time, and many people who come and go stop here to watch.The people watching naturally formed a circle, with the girl at the core.

Guzi's godmother made breakfast and asked Zhang Jiashan to go out and buy some tofu and vegetables for cooking.When Zhang Jiashan came out, he saw this group of people at the first sight.Zhangjiashan is very lively by nature, so she put aside the work that Guzi's godmother had arranged, and squeezed into the crowd to watch. The girls in the circle were short in stature, poorly dressed, with messy hair tied in two pigtails.But the girl's eyes are big and attractive, looking at everyone with watery eyes. When the country people saw this free show, they were very interested and talked a lot, asking questions.When the girl asked, she didn't say anything, she just pointed at the paper with her finger.

It turned out that there were words on the paper.The people behind could only see the girl, but they couldn't see the words on the paper, so they couldn't help making noise and wanting to squeeze forward.A person who looked like a female cadre saw her and said, "Don't squeeze, I'll read!" Our Zhangjiashan was also squeezed and stretched its neck to read the words on the paper. So he relaxed, stopped squeezing, let his eyes idle, and only listened with his ears. Women cadres read: Great godmother, big brother and sister-in-law, all revolutionary comrades: My name is He Hongmei, from Hejiagou in this town.I congratulate my fifth son on being a gambler.He is not human.I lost the gamble and lost me to Zhou Baoyuan of the Zhou family.Zhou Baoyuan is an old bachelor with a lot of brains.I don't want to be with him.Fellow countrymen, fellow revolutionary comrades, I beg you all to extend a helping hand, give me a little sponsorship, and collect enough 400 yuan to help me repay Zhou Baoyuan's 400 yuan gambling debt, so that I can jump out of the fire pit and find a new one. nice family.Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.The little girl He Hongmei kowtowed to everyone here.

199×year×month×day After the female cadre finished reading, she shook her head: "It's so pitiful, I'm afraid I'm not yet sixteen years old!" After finishing speaking, she dropped a few cents and left.She felt a little emotional and angry because of this matter of He Hongmei; she was also a little complacent, because she found a suitable opportunity to show off her eloquence.Therefore, on this day, her spirit will be very happy. A man who looked like a male cadre said: "This is an embarrassment to the court! This matter should be handled by the court. What do ordinary people do to support these bastards with taxes?" He also threw down a one-yuan bill and left.

He Hongmei picked up the money that fell on the paper. When He Hongmei picked up the money, she raised her head and looked at the crowd. Zhang Jiashan was tall, so He Hongmei's eyes stopped on him.This is asking for money, Zhang Jiashan understands. Zhang Jiashan blushed a little.He held a few ten-cent notes in his hand, which were used by Godmother Guzi to buy vegetables for him.He wanted to throw the money on the paper, but he was a bit reluctant on the one hand, and felt a little too little on the other.Zhang Jiashan is a person who cares about face. He often has some unrealistic ideas in his mind. He often wants to learn from those heroes in ancient times. Cook without rice!"

The phrase "cooking without rice" was learned from Chairman Mao.At that time, Zhang Jiashan was still a brigade cadre.A rural teacher wrote a letter to Chairman Mao crying for poverty. Chairman Mao swiped his pen and said: "Hui sent three hundred yuan to make up for the lack of rice!" With the guidance of the members, I have learned this quotation for a long time. Holding the ten-cent note, Zhang Jiashan was in a dilemma. At this moment, a short old man selling melon seeds helped him out. The short old man said: "Erg is open and invigorated, and has everything. This little girl, did she make up some nice stories to cheat people of money?"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiashan thought: "That's right, I can't let this little girl be caught as a fool!" Immediately put this matter behind her ears, left the crowd and went to the other side of the town to buy The dishes are gone. Zhangjiashan went to the west end to cut the tofu, stretched out five fingers, and walked back inside.The tofu was very watery, with gurgles of water dripping down his elbows. "This is also two catties, and I bought it with money!" Zhang Jiashan said, sticking out his tongue to lick it from time to time. While walking and licking, I arrived at the east end of the town, at the gate of the court.I saw the round circle of people at the entrance of the court, but now it became a swarm of bees, people were noisy, and He Hongmei's crying was mixed with it.

Seeing Zhang Jiashan, he shouted "No!", holding the tofu in his hand, and strode over. Where the piece of paper was spread out just now, there is now a half-grown old man in his forties.The man picked up the piece of paper, held it in his hand, and was tearing it up one by one. While tearing up, he scolded the onlookers and told everyone to go away. After tearing it up, the man stopped cursing.Then he bent down, grabbed He Hongmei's hair and dragged him away. He Hongmei cried and refused to leave.However, he was thin and weak, seeing that the man was holding his head and body, and he was lifted up all at once.

A donkey-drawn cart was parked next to it.I saw that the man threw a He Hongmei onto the donkey cart with all his strength. He Hongmei pulled the side of the car with both hands, turned around, and cried out: "People all over the street, your eyes are blind, and your heart is eaten by dogs! You see Zhou Baoyuan bullying a weak woman, just don't care!" He Hongmei's words made Zhang Jiashan's face burn with fever.Ordinarily, there was no such thing. With Zhang Jiashan's temperament, this matter should be taken care of. Erge was provoked by He Hongmei's words again. Zhang Jiashan blushed immediately, took two steps forward, and shouted: "Zhou Jiashan Zhou Baoyuan, stop me! You are so courageous, you ran to Liuliu Town to act wildly. If I don’t treat you today, you won’t know what your family name is!"

Hearing the shout, Zhou Baoyuan stopped. Seeing that it was Zhang Jiashan, he smiled and said, "Who's crotch is torn, which exposed you, and ran here to pretend to be a hero! Tell you, Zhang Ganda, this is our housework." matter. Wife and old man, it’s inevitable that there will be some right and wrong, so don’t worry about it!" Zhang Jiashan said: "I'm not in charge, it's Zhangjiashan Civil Mediation Office. The mediation office assists the court in handling cases. Tell you, Zhou Baoyuan, you broke the law in this matter!" Zhou Baoyuan is an old oily man, who doesn't care about Zhang Jiashan, he took the bait and said: "Don't bring it out of the court to scare people, Zhang Ganda. You can ask your nephew about this matter, he can't help me !"

After Zhou Baoyuan finished speaking, he jumped up and put his buttocks on the shaft of the chariot. Then, he patted the donkey's buttocks, and the donkey cart carried He Hongmei and started running. "Stop for me!" Zhang Jiashan shouted. Seeing that the donkey cart was not standing, Zhang Jiashan took two steps forward, raised his hand, and threw the piece of tofu in his hand forward. Zhou Baoyuan's donkey cart ran away early.The tofu didn't hit him, but landed on the street, scattered into white pieces. Looking at the back of the donkey cart, Zhang Jiashan cursed. For the people of Liuliu Town, every fair is considered a festival.On this day, everyone will be very happy. The government agencies only work for half a day, and then they have a holiday. The Zhangjiashan Civil Mediation Office follows the example of public officials, and this day is also a half-day holiday, so that everyone can relax and move around freely.During today's meeting, Zhang Jiashan was in a good mood, but after this incident, the good mood suddenly disappeared. Zhang Jiashan wiped his wet hands on the front of his shirt, walked into the office with a gloomy face, took two steps, changed his mind again, turned around, and walked towards the Liuliu Town court.He wanted to talk to the court about this matter, and the president of the court, Zhang Jiannan, was his nephew.It was his nephew who gave him the idea to set up this civil mediation office. The president of the court, Zhang Jiannan, was sitting on his desk, resting his chin on both hands in a daze.When I met Zhang Jiashan, I gave up my seat. Zhang Jiashan didn't sit down.Zhang Jiashan pointed at Zhang Jiannan and cursed: "Outside the gate, donkeys are killing people. As the judge of the court, you are sitting there like a normal person, not even farting!" Relying on being Zhang Jiannan's uncle, Lao Tzu, this is a rough statement. Zhang Jiannan heard this, but he was not annoyed.There are too many and complicated matters in the court, all kinds of things are taken care of, and all kinds of grievances are accepted. If things go on like this, Zhang Jiannan's temper has long been curbed.When encountering unpleasant words, just speak them to the wall. "Uncle, don't be annoyed. If you were to sit in my seat and encounter a case like this one day, you would have been so angry. The court didn't care about He Hongmei's matter, it just couldn't handle it. !" "So what He Hongmei said is the truth?" "Every sentence is true!" "Then it's over. Take He Hongmei back from Zhou Baoyuan, hand it over to He Laowu, let He Hongmei fall in love freely, and find another husband's house, isn't that the end of the matter?" "Then Zhou Baoyuan, is he willing to let go?" "What does he have to say? If he refuses to accept it, he will be tied with a fire rope, and he will be surrounded by four walls, and he will squat for a while to see if he is a **** and dares to be arrogant." "My dear uncle, these tricks have been used by the courts, and it doesn't help! The public is the troublemaker of the public, and the common people who don't accept them these days and don't care about the land have their own troubles. The law does not rule the people, this kind of There are too many things!" It turned out that He Hongmei escaped from Zhou's house last year and came to sue, and the lawsuit was approved.Zhang Jiannan went to the "police station" and brought He Hongmei to He's house. Zhang Jiannan scolded He Lao Wu terribly. It can no longer be handed over to Zhou Baoyuan. That's all, I came to Zhou's house again.Zhou Baoyuan of Zhou's family disappeared without He Hongmei, and was in a state of dismay, thinking about things on the bank.He raised his head sharply and saw two people wearing big caps. Knowing that something was wrong, he yelled "Singles don't suffer from immediate losses", let go of their feet and ran away. "Zhou Baoyuan, stop me, you bastard! If you dare to run away, I don't recognize people with this gun!" Seeing Zhou Baoyuan running away, the "police station" took out a gun and threatened him. This move is very effective.Zhou Baoyuan was stunned and stood there without moving. Zhou Baoyuan said: "I didn't do anything illegal, why should I be arrested! He Hongmei and I are married by Ming Media and have received a marriage certificate!" "Look at your pig-mouthed dragon king face, what a good girl she is, let you ruin her!" "He Laowu owes me money!" The "police station" stopped talking, took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Baoyuan's arm, twisted it, and then elbowed him, knocking Zhou Baoyuan to the ground and handcuffing him. After the narration, Zhang Jiannan spread his hands and said, "We released Zhou Baoyuan from administrative detention for 15 days. At the same time as the release, the marriage was declared invalid. Unexpectedly, after a few days, this He Hongmei came to sue again, saying that Zhou Baoyuan came out Later, she came to Hejiagou again to ask for money, but He Lao Wu couldn't get the money, so he led her with a rope and sent her to Zhou Baoyuan's house." Zhang Jiashan listened with a gloomy face and remained silent. Zhang Jiannan said again: "My dear uncle, there are many things like this in the countryside! This is all because of the underdeveloped economy, people are not treated as human beings! Ask around, don't just talk about six or six towns, where are the towns around here? At the gate of a court, there are not so many professional households who sue! I am not a high-level person, and I have no good law." At this time, someone came to the court to complain.Seeing Zhang Jiannan, he expressed his intention to ask Zhang Jiashan to leave.Zhang Jiashan understood that it would be useless for him to spit any more, so he stood up and walked away disgruntled. He Hongmei couldn't let go of this matter!The next day, Zhangjiashan was eating an old bowl when he suddenly heard voices outside the door.Zhang Jiashan opened the door and saw that He Hongmei came again. This He Hongmei was different from the situation that day.On that day, a piece of paper was laid in front of the eyes and nothing was said.Today, with disheveled hair, she resorted to her daughter's method, like a shrew, pounding on the door of the court.Occasionally, snot and tears wiped her arms and trouser legs, letting people see the bruises and redness on her body. Seeing him, Zhang Jiashan handed the old bowl to Guzi's godmother, and then, with a few strides, stepped out the door. The doors of the courtroom were firmly shut. He Hongmei knocked on the door and shouted, "If the court doesn't decide for me today, I, He Hongmei, hanged here with a hemp rope. Don't say I'm bluffing, I'll do what I say! Die once." Let me show you, take a look at my business, is there anyone else in charge?" As He Hongmei said, she really took off her red belt and put it on the railing of the iron gate. Seeing this He Hongmei, Zhang Jiashan was really moved, stepped forward, and tried to persuade him: "He Hongmei, there are things going on, you can't do this! Good baby, you are not alive yet!" "Zhang Ganda, you don't know, how can Zhou Baoyuan abuse me!" Seeing someone arguing, He Hongmei softened her heart and said tearfully. Zhang Jiashan pushed He Hongmei away and let her stand beside him, then he came forward to knock on the door. "Zhang Jiannan, open the door. You hide when you see something, how can this work!" Zhang Jiashan shouted. After knocking for a while, Zhang Jiannan came out of the room slowly and opened the door. Avoiding Zhang Jiashan's gaze, the chief judge pointed to He Hongmei and said, "He Hongmei, your matter has already been dealt with. After the case is closed, you are bothering me again! Everyone is like you. My court just needs to add ten staff members. I can't be too busy!" He Hongmei filed the complaint for a long time, and she was a little oily. She said: "President, I won't waste time with you anymore. I want to hang myself, but Zhang Gan refuses to allow it. Then I will take off my pants and sleep on your bed. See You don't care! Anyway, I'm not a woman anymore, I'm afraid of balls!" After He Hongmei finished speaking, she really slipped under the chief judge's armpit, entered the yard, and rushed to the chief judge's "residence and office integration" office, pulled off the quilt, and fell asleep with her head covered. "It's all because of you. If I don't open the door, nothing will happen!" Zhang Jiannan complained to Zhang Jiashan. "No more?" Zhang Jiashan said disapprovingly, "Things have to be settled, and drowsiness has to be passed through! You can't push this matter away just by looking at it!" "Erge, He Hongmei, fell asleep on my bed, what should I do? I dare not go into the house. If I want to go in, I can't explain this matter!" Zhang Jiannan scratched his head and said. Zhang Jiashan thought for a while and said, "Follow me!" After Zhang Jiashan finished speaking, he walked into the room. Zhang Jiannan lifted his foot and took two steps, seeing the people watching the bustle, they even crossed the big iron gate and followed him to the room.He turned back to block the crowd, closed the iron gate again, and cursed: "This is not singing, what's so interesting about it!" After speaking, he closed the gate with a "snap". Zhang Jiashan stood by the bed and scolded: "He Hongmei, get up for me! A girl's family, with no nose and no face, who doesn't learn well, learn this leprosy, play dead dogs, pretend to be garlic!" The voice in the quilt was a little buzzing: "Zhang Ganda, who doesn't have a face, I'm being forced. Today, I'm going all out. It's not my embarrassment, but the court's embarrassment. The court won't let me decide , I’m really stuck here! The wooden bed of the government’s family is much more comfortable to sleep on than my stone kang!” "You have grievances, I know that! But, look at you, what did you do!" Zhang Jiashan said, stretching out his hand, wanting to uncover the quilt, and then thinking, it's not right to do so, so he stretched out his hand , stopped halfway. Under the quilt, He Hongmei remained silent. Zhang Jiannan came in at this time.He threatened from the side: "I'll call the police station, handcuff her, and obstruct her official business!" Still silent under the quilt. "Hongmei, let me pick up your matter! Ganda has set up a Zhangjiashan Civil Mediation Office to help the public solve such disputes. The road is not fair and everyone will shovel it. I, a big man, will take care of this matter." , I wouldn't blame Zhou Baoyuan if I didn't kill him!" "Really?" He Hongmei threw off the quilt and sat up. "I don't tell lies!" Zhang Jiashan said solemnly. "Someone is in charge of my business!" A smile appeared on He Hongmei's face, she threw off the quilt and slipped out of bed. "Zhang Ganda, I'll kowtow to you!" He Hongmei pounced, wanting to kowtow. Zhang Jiashan said sternly, "Put on your trousers first, and then talk to me!" At the gate of the court, Zhang Jiashan said to his nephew, "Just leave this matter behind and leave it to me!" Zhang Jiashan and He Hongmei walked out of the courtroom and walked towards the mediation office: "You stay in the office first, and follow up with your godmother Guzi. After a few days, Li Wenhua and I will go to Hejiagou, how about it?" He Hongmei nodded. Among the satellite villages around Liuliu Town, Hejiagou is probably the smallest and poorest.On the crowded and rolling loess Geliang, the rain washed a shallow ditch.In the ditch, there lived several families named He, which was called Hejiagou.It's not that the He family has no name or surname on the ground of Liuliu Town. In the war closest to us, the He family once produced a general who became the commander of the armored forces.But these are old words.A hero doesn't mention his bravery. If you promised He Hongmei, you have to do it.One day, while walking in front of Zhangjiashan, Li Wenhua carried a poor-quality wallet, stopped and went, and went straight to Hejiagou.Hejiagou was not far away, and within a short while, the two of them walked up to the bank of Hejiagou. When they looked up, they saw a pile of children lying next to the body of He Hongmei's father, He Laowu, in the courtyard of He's family. Vitex and Caragana, that He Laowu was weaving a bag of dung with his head bowed. He Laowu heard a noise on the bank, stopped his work, and looked up.If you don't see who it is, make a smile first. Why do you have to apologize?This is just like the saying in Northern Shaanxi: If people live at a low level, they should live at a low level!The situation of the He family is not as good as others, and it is inevitable that they will be three points short when they see people. It is appropriate for those who come to the door, whether they come to ask for debts or to give blessings, without saying a word, first to give a smile. Just laughed, recognized Zhang Jiashan from the Zhang family, He Laowu greeted: "No wonder the flower magpies were chirping at the door this morning, it turns out that Zhang Ganda is coming today!" In the countryside, this is the most pleasant concierge word.After He Laowu finished speaking, he peeked at Zhang Jiashan's face, saw Zhang Jiashan's face was serious, and didn't react at all after hearing this. Zhang Jiashan squatted down and took out his cigarette pouch. He Lao Wu hurriedly took out a match and wanted to light a cigarette.However, Li Wenhua was faster than his hands.Li Wenhua took out a disposable lighter and ignited it with a "snap". Zhang Jiashan leaned forward and lit the cigarette. He Lao Wu was a little embarrassed.He reloaded the match and looked up at Zhangjiashan again. Zhang Jiashan slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, still did not speak, just stared at He Laowu with two eyes. The distance between the two of them was too close, Zhang Jiashan's white eyes made He Lao Wu's heart shudder, and he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.He had no choice but to smile and say hello again. "If you have anything to say, you can just say it. It makes me feel weird! Zhang Ganda, I ate your food or drank yours. Why do you look at me like this!" He Lao Wu was a little timid say. "Are you He Lao Wu?" Zhang Jiashan asked with a hoarse voice. "I am! Zhang Gan is making a big joke, you recognize me!" He Laowu said. "That's good! He Lao Wu, I came to you thirty miles early in the morning. Of course I have something to do. It's not a big deal. I'm here to ask you for advice!" "What are you talking about?" "I want to ask you, what is shameless!" He Laowu blushed and said: "Shameless is shameless, it's a curse word from our village!" "No, there is a lot to say in this." Zhang Jiashan said, "My old man has spent most of his life pondering over this matter, so I came here to tell you today. What do you say, people do things like that , it’s face to face, so it’s called face-to-face; the thing that animals do with animals is face-to-face, so it’s called shameless. When people call you shameless, it means that you are not human. You are cattle!" He Laowu stood up: "Zhang Jiashan, you scolded well! Am I a human being? I am an animal. I gambled and put my daughter in!" "It was you who said you were an animal, not me!" Zhang Jiashan said solemnly. Li Wenhua turned his face away, pursing his lips and smiling. He Laowu let out a long sigh: "Hey! Zhangjiashan, as soon as you came up, I knew what you were doing. A tiger doesn't eat its offspring. Who doesn't love my daughter? I don't feel bad when I see my daughter jumping into the fire pit? It’s so strange, no one blames it, just blame me for having two cheap hands and love to gamble! Sometimes when I think about it, I really wish I could take an axe and chop these two dogs’ paws!” As He Laowu was talking, he saw the scythe used for cutting sliver on the ground, picked it up with a lower body, and cut it on the back of his hand. Zhang Jiashan took a step forward, stopped him, and grabbed the sickle. A cut was made on the back of He Laowu's hand, and blood flowed out from between the fingers he was covering. Li Wenhua took out a new handkerchief that he had folded squarely, and wanted to injure He Laowu. He Laowu waved his hand no.He Lao Wu himself has a lot of local methods.He turned around, untied his trouser belt, and first poured hot urine on the wound, which was regarded as washing and disinfecting the wound. After flushing, he took out a match, peeled off the phosphorus sheet of the matchbox, and stuck it on the wound. , and then squeeze it with your fingers, this is to stop the bleeding. He Laowu shook the back of his hand and said, "Don't worry about me! I've humiliated myself like this, and I feel better!" "Why are you doing this, He Lao Wu." Zhang Jiashan said, "Who are you doing this show for? This time I am here, I will not hit you, and I will not scold you. I just tell you, Hong Mei escaped from Zhou's house, Erg, and hid with me. I'll give you Dington, so that the baby can come back." He Laowu first heard that He Hongmei had escaped from Zhou's house, and was happy, but then he heard that Zhang Jiashan was going to send He Hongmei back, and was sad.He hurriedly said: "Hongmei dare not come back! Hongmei dare not come back! You have to understand that the root of the problem is not with me, it is Zhou Baoyuan who refused to let it go, and came here every day to ask for someone!" "Are you so afraid of Zhou Baoyuan?" Zhang Jiashan frowned and asked. At this moment, there was a burst of shouting and cursing on the road.When everyone looked up, they saw Zhou Baoyuan under the slope. Zhou Baoyuan stood on the road, pointing at the sky and talking about the earth, cursing for a while. Generally speaking, when people from northern Shaanxi do things, as long as there is room for maneuver, they will not make things public and let the whole world know.If you want to tear your face openly and call him into battle, it means that he has put all his energy into playing tricks on you.This is the reason why a good man is afraid of a leprous man, and a leprous man is afraid of a dead man. Zhou Baoyuan scolded: "Killing to pay for life and debt to pay back money are ancient teachings passed down from generation to generation. Good old He Lao Wu, you owe me money, if you don't pay me back, take your daughter as the top. Your daughter, hungry face If you are widowed and thin, you can sell a mule for a horse's price, and use it to make up the money. It's the top, I, Mr. Zhou Baoyuan, have a lot of people, so I admit it. I don't think so, you're instigating your daughter twice in three days, and the old sow runs away Like a circle, if people don't follow her, they will run away. As a result, I, Zhou Baoyuan, are now empty of people and money!" Zhou Baoyuan's words were harsh.Even Li Wenhua couldn't see it when he heard it, so he stood up and wanted to answer it correctly.At this time, Zhang Jiashan stopped him with a wink. Zhang Jiashan wanted to see how He Lao Wu would speak. When He Lao Wu saw Zhou Baoyuan, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He wanted to retreat, but he didn't dare, so he had the courage to take a few steps up the bank to do what he wanted. He Laowu said: "Zhou Baoyuan, didn't you take Hongmei away from here that day? I didn't ask you for someone, so why did you come back to me for someone?" Zhou Baoyuan said: "I got it, and I won't say that I didn't get it. But if I didn't pay attention, she would expose the tiles. The last time I ran to the town, I was caught. This time, who knew she would Where did you go? If you run away, the Dragon King can't run away from the temple, He Laowu, where can you go if you don't go back to Hejiagou? You say I won't find you, He Laowu's important person, who will I go to? " "I want it!" Zhang Jiashan responded. After finishing speaking, he stood up, put his hands on his waist, and walked towards the bank. Seeing Zhangjiashan, which looked like a half black tower, Zhou Baoyuan's arrogance was cut in half. "Come here, a big man, to find out the depth of the river!" Zhou Baoyuan murmured. Zhou Baoyuan's eyes were bright, he took two steps forward, and said: "Zhang Ganda by the Zhang family, what wind has brought you here? You are not at home, drinking a teapot, enjoying your leisure, and running to this barren ditch Come from the wild mountains, what are you doing with the tongues of these people!" "Hmph, what kind of wind! The old yellow wind that blows twice a year." Zhang Jiashan replied, "Hey, Zhou Baoyuan, are you still a man? Aren't you afraid of losing your children and grandchildren? You take a pee and take a look at yourself, see how dirty you are, are you a good match or not?" "Hey, Zhang Ganda, you have to keep your mouth clean. Who cut off children and grandchildren? I, Zhou Baoyuan, was looking for He Hongmei because I was afraid of cutting off the seed. Otherwise, I don't want her. How easy it is to live alone !" Zhou Baoyuan said again: "The Hejiagou case, when it comes to the Jinluan Temple, I, Zhou Baoyuan, don't believe it! He owes me money, and the person I married him, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, the family is willing to fight, and the family is willing to fight." Take it, it's none of your Zhangjiashan bird business!" "The road is not fair, everyone will shovel it! He Hongmei has sued me in the mediation office. Tell you Zhou Baoyuan, I have taken care of this idle porcelain ①!" "This matter is actually easy to handle, Zhang Ganda, you have it in your pocket, and if you take out four hundred yuan, this matter will be blown away! At that time, I swore that I would never step into this Hejiagou again in my life. Which Step in, which one of my feet do you chop off!" When it comes to money, Zhang Jiashan's words are a bit dull.Fortunately, Li Wenhua took over at this time and said, "There is money, and when the machine is turned on, it comes out with a splash. But, the money is given to a person like you, so it's better to spend it for nothing!" "Look, it's me talking nonsense or you talking nonsense, red lips and white teeth, it's obvious that you are talking nonsense here!" "If you gather a crowd to gamble, if you are not convicted, it will be considered cheap. How dare you ask for money?" Li Wenhua said again. "The money won from gambling is not money anymore?" Zhou Baoyuan plausibly said, "It's labor income! If you have the ability, you can win it for me too!" Zhou Baoyuan said, swaying step by step, went up to the bank, and came to the Hejia kiln yard.He Laowu swallowed his anger and moved a small stool for Zhou Baoyuan to sit on.Zhou Baoyuan snorted and didn't sit down.The so-called "it's hard to get rid of customers", it seems that Zhou Baoyuan is not willing to let it go this week if he doesn't make a statement today. "Don't be so loud!" Seeing Zhou Baoyuan approaching, Zhang Jiashan stepped forward to meet him, and asked unhurriedly, "Zhou Baoyuan, what kind of bet do you play with He Laowu?" "Bet Ming Bao!" "Okay, that's the end of the story. Zhou Baoyuan, I'll bet with you today!" Seeing this, Zhou Baoyuan happily took out a treasure box from his bosom, and asked flatteringly, "Zhang Ganda, do you know how to make a living?" Zhang Jiashan laughed: "I have been selling steamed buns since I was a child, so nothing happened!" Seeing Zhou Baoyuan, He Laowu, including Li Wenhua, were a little surprised, Zhang Jiashan couldn't help but feel proud.He went on to chatter again: "To tell you the truth, there are all kinds of gambling in northern Shaanxi, such as Menghe, top stick, Mingbao, playing cards, playing chess, throwing dice, all kinds of games, none of which can beat me in Zhangjiashan." Yes. It’s just that, when I became a village cadre later, I left all these livelihoods behind. Tell you Zhou family boy, when I bet on Mingbao, you were not born yet!” While talking, a group of people came to the kiln. "This is really a hero interviewing a hero. I, Zhou Baoyuan, have met my opponent today. Zhang Ganda, bright!" After Zhou Baoyuan finished speaking, he took out a wad of money from his pocket. "Brighter, brighter!" Zhang Jiashan also took out a stack from his waist. "It's a little thin!" Zhou Baoyuan looked down upon seeing that Zhangjiashan had little money. "Don't be afraid, I have a secretary with me! The secretary's outer black wallet is just a decoration! It's full of money." Two people took off their shoes, got on the kang, dragged a small felt over and put it in the kang.The two squatted down on both sides of Xiaofelt. He Lao Wu had no money, so he watched with red eyes. Li Wenhua didn't go to the kang, he sat on the edge of the kang with a clip under his arm. Zhang Jiashan took out a ten-yuan bill, pulled it open, and spit dryly on the bill: "Bah, money is the biggest pest in the world!" Zhou Baoyuan took out two ten-yuan bills: "I don't think so, money is a good thing!" After speaking, he flicked it twice. The two put the money on the side of the kang. "Mine is a bit bigger, I hold the treasure box!" Zhou Baoyuan said. Zhou Baoyuan picked up the treasure box, held it to his chest, and flicked it with his little finger. At the moment when Baoxin turned, he covered the treasure box, covered it in his hand, and put it on the felt on the kang. After touching the treasure box without turning it, Zhou Baoyuan's hand gently left. Zhou Baoyuan wore a ring on his little finger.Li Wenhua took a serious look at the ring. Zhou Baoyuan said: "I bet on the red buckle!" "Then, I'll bet on the black stick!" Zhang Jiashan said. The treasure box was opened and Zhang Jiashan won. Zhou Baoyuan said: "Come again!" Over and over again, although the two sides won and lost each other, it was obvious that Zhang Jiashan lost more. After losing all the money in the mountainside of the Zhang family, I borrowed a few more from Li Wenhua. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiashan lost again. Zhang Jiashan didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand to the edge of the kang. He didn't receive any money for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Li Wenhua patting his pocket with his wallet. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Zhang Jiashan blurted out. "Zhang Ganda, didn't you say that your purse is full of bills?" Zhou Baoyuan asked. Zhang Jiashan argued: "It's public money, if you use it, you will break the law!" Seeing that, Zhou Baoyuan put away the treasure box, staggered, and got off the kang.Zhou Baoyuan looked for shoes with his feet, and said: "Zhang Ganda, it seems that you haven't played for a long time, and your business is unfamiliar. Let's stop here today, and you can get it some other day!" Zhang Jiashan was still squatting there, not wanting to leave. He glanced at Zhou Baoyuan's pocket disconsolately. It was his own money just now, and now it belongs to Zhou Baoyuan like magic. He Lao Wu has a good heart, and he feels a little bit distressed about Zhang Jiashan: "The richer you are, the more you can win! That god of wealth, the god of hell, also has a eccentric eye, which promotes red and black!" He Laowu was talking, when he saw Zhou Baoyuan glaring at him, he quickly sealed his mouth. Zhangjiashan swallowed his saliva, got off the kang, and when he parted from Zhou Baoyuan, he said, "It's my bad luck that I capsized in your small ditch today. Well, after three days, you come to Liuliu Town, and we Knife against gun, gun against gun, fight for the last time!" "It can be done!" Zhou Baoyuan said. Zhou Baoyuan said to He Laowu again: "Cucumber vegetables won't be kept cold. Let's put our business aside for a while. After the incident in Liuliu Town is over, I will come to Hejiagou to find you again!" On the way, Li Wenhua said, "Zhang Ganda, don't gamble! If you gamble again, you will still lose!" "Even you, kid, underestimate me!" Zhang Jiashan was a little annoyed. "It's not that you're not good at gambling, it's that kid Zhou Baoyuan who's cheating!" "How does he do it?" "The ring he was wearing was made of a magnet. I played a movie for the cultural station and took off the magnet. There is an iron piece in the core, which is sucked by the magnet. He wants to tell Baoxin to stop, and Baoxin will do so. stop!" "You bastard, rub the sand in my eyes. No wonder He Laowu lost so badly. Hey, I said you are half-brained, why don't you say it on the occasion?" "I'm embarrassed to say it. I'm afraid that Zhou Baoyuan will be embarrassed!" "I put a knife on our necks, and you are still so soft-hearted. Alas, when will you grow up!" Zhang Jiashan and Li Wenhua, with gloomy faces, walked back in disgrace, without the joyous energy they had when they went there in the morning.Zhou Baoyuan, a bastard, made such a poisonous move, but Zhang Jiashan did not expect it.The most hated person in the gambling field is this kind of people who play tricks without conscience.Erg, Zhang Jiashan's hatred for Zhou Baoyuan is deeper.After hating Zhou Baoyuan, he also hated his own Li Wenhua. He couldn't figure out what was wrong, and he didn't expose it when it was time to expose it.Such a unit is supported by Zhang Jiashan, a big man. Zhang Jiashan now feels that he is a little weak. In the distance, in the Chuan Dao at the foot of the mountain, there is a small street with two rows of buildings on the left and right sides of the street, and Liuliu Town is here.He Hongmei stood at the door of the office, looking around the door frame. "What's the matter, Zhang Ganda? Is everything settled?" Seeing Zhangjiashan coming down the mountain road, He Hongmei asked anxiously. Zhangjiashan, Li Wenhua, an old man and a young man, this gray couple, went down the mountain and walked into the house. Zhang Jiashan pretended to be happy, and said to Hongmei: "Son, don't worry, the matter will be resolved sooner or later! It's a coincidence that I didn't meet you when I went this time!" He Hongmei believed it, and she said, "Where did this Stove Ghost go?" "Guzi, I want to discuss something with you!" Zhang Jiashan pulled Guzi's godmother aside and whispered. "What's the matter?" "In our office, can we spare some money?" "I understand what you mean, you want to fill that black hole, yes?" Guzi's godmother said, looking at He Hongmei. "That's right, and it's not. Anyway, don't ask, just make room for me, help me, I will pay you back in a few days!" "You are the leader, and I obey! However, I can't think through spending money on this!" Guzi's godmother said, and took out a wad of money from her clothes pocket: "This is our income for a while!" Then she took out a handkerchief from under the felt, opened the handkerchief, and there was a wad of money in the handkerchief: "This is our income!" The money from selling cats that year!" At the end, after thinking about it, he took out a wad of money from under the box: "This is a little bit of my private money!" "The sum of these moneys is less than two hundred!" Guzi's godmother piled up three wads of money and handed them to Zhang Jiashan. Zhang Jiashan went to pick up the money like a fire. With the money in his hand, he thought for a while, then took out the money from Gu Zigan's private house and returned it to her. "I can't take this, you take it back!" Zhang Jiashan said. Guzi's godmother took back the money without expression. Zhang Jiashan counted the remaining money and put it in his waist. Outside the door, on the earthen platform where Zhangjiashan reads newspapers every day, Li Wenhua and a young man drew some squares on the ground, and used some stones to play the game of "wife mends crotch" or "wolf eats baby". "This baby, don't worry about anything!" Zhang Jiashan said something when he saw him, then walked out of the house and came to the earthen platform. "Let me do it!" he said. 张家山将李文化拨拉到一边，蹲下来，三棰两梆子，把那小青年赢了。那小青年挠着头走了。 张家山一边在手里拨拉着石子，一边和李文化拉话。 "一想到三天以后的那一场赌博，我就心慌得一满盛不定。这次，咱是赢起输不起了！" "干脆，给周家回个话，咱们不赌了！" "不，要赌，不出这口恶气，我张家山，还叫什么张家山？事情逼到这个份上了。那贺红梅，还在窑里盛着哩！这次，咱要把贺家沟咱们输的钱捞回来，还要把贺老五输的钱也捞回来，治一治这周宝元！" "既然是赌博，那么谁输谁赢，就很难确定！" "不，我这一次，一定要赢！" "要赢，只有一个办法，万无一失。你给派出所打一声招呼，正赌着，让派出所来抓赌，这样，周宝元腰里的钱，就都拿出来。罢了，再用这钱，交给贺红梅赎身！" "我是要赢，但不能这样。赌博场上栽了，还得赌博场上往回捞，这才过瘾。你刚才说的，也算一种弄法，不过不合我张家山的脾气。倘若叫社会上知道了，会笑话我的！" "既然你一定要赌，叫我说，这明宝咱是不能押了，再押还是输。咱要另想一些门道！" "哎呀，咱们想到一块去了。李文化，我是人在事中，一满有些迷糊，你也动动脑筋，想一想，看怎样赌，哪种赌法，咱们把握大些！" 李文化闷着头，想了想说："镇上有个两兄弟联手，打麻将一年盖起了两层小楼。大家都说，他俩一定在麻将场上，做了什么手脚！" "好，你收拾一下，提上二斤点心，咱们去请教！" 张家山将石子扔了，站起，拍拍身上的土。 "点心你买，我腰里没钱了！"李文化说。 这天夜里，六六镇星斗满天，张家山、李文化提了二斤点心，来到一幢二层简易小楼门前，敲门。两兄弟见是张家山，分外热情。楼上落座以后，张家山曲曲弯弯，说明来意，只见兄弟两个面面相觑，吭哧了半天，那老大说道： "我俩已金盆洗手，不干这事了。张干大，你这是难为我们！" 张家山说："贺红梅的事情，二位该听说了吧！我走这一着险棋，正是为了救贺红梅。况且，那对方是周宝元，他耍世人，咱们耍耍他，也不为过！你俩说是耶不是？" 兄弟两个凑到一起，又嘀嘀咕咕了一阵，看来是商量通了。 老大走到一个架板前，拿出一副麻将，"哗"地倒在桌上。 老大一边用手指抹牌，一边讲解道："怎么偷牌？两个指头，夹着一张牌，打出去以后，手心上的肌肉一夹，就把牌桌上的牌，夹回来了。这是小技巧，有些南方的大耍家，身上原先就揣着几张要紧的牌，紧火了，将这几张牌插上，就和了。不过不能叫人抓住。那一次，在县城里，一个南方耍家，就这么弄法，叫抓住了，众人一声喊，将他打了个半死！" 老二见老大逞能，也不甘寂寞，说道："一个人势单力孤，最好的办法是二人联手。这叫溜通和。咋样溜法，这里高深莫测、玄机四伏，一个眼色，一个手势，一句八竿子打不着的题外话，对方就解开了，拆副子放牌。" 张家山对这"溜通和"的事情，蛮有兴趣，正想细问，不料那老大又把话岔开了。老大说了另一招。老大说： "当然，最简单的办法，是摞牌上做手脚。摞牌时，你将好牌摞到一层，牌底子摞到另一层。这样，你们两个，老揭好牌，别人老揭烂牌，遇到错开了，你吃一张牌，就倒转了！" 张家山听了，拍手道："这真是行行出状元，不经一事，不长一智。麻将牌上，这么多般数。不过我和李文化业务生疏，真要弄成这事，最好还是定些口诀，溜通和，顺当！" 听张家山这样说，老二于是亮开家底，将他们当年麻将场上定下些的口诀，一一传授。 罢了，老大说："张干大，我们这是没有拿你当外人，才核桃、枣儿一齐往出腾，你可不能到处瞎说，卖我们！" 老二也说："自从挣下这座小楼以后，我们真的是金盆洗手了！" 张家山说："我一向口紧的，二位放心！" 起身时，张家山又说："帮人帮到底，这麻将牌，也借我们一用！" 老二将麻将整起，交给李文化。 一夜无话，第二日一早，放下饭碗，张家山对谷子干妈说： "谷子，我听说李家村的李士旺老汉，这两天走了。可怜兮兮的，身后连个烧纸的人都没有。你去买个花圈，代表咱们事务所给送去，顺路，你再回家看看，看你那几个宝贝儿子，把地种了没有。" "我这几天，正想回家去看看的！"谷子干妈说。 张家山又说："你把红梅也带上，有个伴儿，反正她在这里也没事！" "it is good!" 支走了她俩，张家山神色严肃地将门关上，然后支起桌子，放上毡片，将牌三三两两地取出。 "来，咱们商议一下，定出些口诀！"张家山叫李文化。 两人关起门来，圈到家里，像做贼一样，从早上一直干到下午红日西斜。参考那二兄弟提供的口诀，再加上他们自己的思考，凑成九字真言。这九个字是：松、顶、打、成、和、吃、乱、摸、风。 九字口诀既已定出，张家山说："写上两张，咱一人一张，从今个儿起，咱就是不吃不喝，也要把这口诀背会。李文化，你说咋样？" 李文化说："论起背功来，我比你强。说不定，我有个时对时①，就背会了！" "光背会不行，还要现场发挥，灵活运用！" 李文化已经不再听张家山的聒噪，扯开嗓子，背起来。 "松--我这一次满是松了！" "顶--把庄家顶紧！" "打--打牌打牌！" "成--这次看来只有我成了！" "和--没和没和！有和有和！" "吃--不吃牌了，吃牌露张！" "乱--我这牌还乱着哩！" "摸--自摸自摸！" "风--出风报停！" 张家山说："这九个只是顶九个数目字用，牌有条、饼、万，如何要条，如何要饼，如何要万，咱们还得规划一番。我思谋着：要条时牌顺着出，要万时牌斜着出，要饼时牌横着出，如何？" "好！"李文化表示赞同，接着他又说，"咦，张干大，我这里还有个问题，明明是一抹牌，你拆了一张放和，还不合常规。牌推倒，明眼人一眼就会看穿的！" 张家山说："这还不好办！比如我手里的牌顺着出来，诈唬一声下家吃牌，这是要六条了。你手里有个五条，有个六条，你先打出五条，转过一圈后，揭起牌来，倒两倒，将六条在手里攥攥，问问大伙：牌回头了，留不留？算了不留了。说话间，六条顺手打出，我不就和了？我若还想再骚情上两句，不妨说：幸亏我没碰牌，要么，对面就自摸了！" 李文化鼓掌说："张干大，你真是聪明过人！" 张家山说："聪明人干啥事都聪明！" 两个男人都不再说话，每人拿着纸，踱着方步，念念有词，像小学生背书一般。纸背在后边，故意不去看，哪个字记不住了，拿着眼前看一下，又赶快把那纸背着屁股后边去了。 正背着，有人敲门，听声音是谷子干妈。 "大天白日的，把门关起来干什么？"谷子干妈在门外大声地问。 李文化念叨着，毫无表情地将门关子拉开。 谷子干妈看了念念有词的李文化，又看了看念念有词的张家山，一边用笤帚扫鞋上的土，一边说："一天没见，你们两个大男人，咋就像叫狐狸精给缠住了，成了瓷人！" 两人都正在情绪中，没答理她，继续念念有词地背。 谷子干妈抡起笤帚，朝张家山的屁股上给了一下。 张家山好容易有了一点儿感觉。 他瓷着眼睛，看了一眼谷子干妈，说道："谷子，后格①，你跟红梅出去躲上一天，我要和周宝元在这屋里来一场大赌。" 谷子干妈想说点什么，看了看张家山严肃得怕人的脸色，她没有说。 贺红梅在屋外悄声说："谷子干妈，张干大要赌博，你不劝劝他！" "你张干大不是那号糊涂人。他要做这事，自有他这样做的道理。唉，男人们！" 谷子干妈说完，开始挽起袖子做饭。贺红梅忙抱来柴禾，拢火。 三天时间，说话间就到了。这天一早，公鸡喔喔地啼着。贪睡的张家山，这天破例起了个大早，将两扇房门开圆，然后抱了把扫帚，在大门口慢吞吞地扫着。 这不叫扫地，这叫拿了把扫帚在做运动。地上横一道、竖一道的，用老百姓的话说，这叫"给关老爷画胡子"。 "让我扫吧，张干大！"贺红梅过来抢扫帚。 张家山头也不回地摆摆手，继续扫着。 谷子干妈使了个眼色，叫红梅不要去惊扰张家山。 太阳初升的时候，早饭已经吃过。地很干净，上面洒了些水。麻将桌子端端正正地摆在屋子中间。桌上的麻将，四堵墙一样，也端端正正地摆好。 谷子干妈背个小包袱，和贺红梅要躲出去。 the door. 谷子干妈充满爱意的目光，在张家山脸上停下来。 "他张干大，你不是那二年了。凡事不可逞强！能撑过去，就撑，撑不过，就松下来，毕竟是有搭几岁的人了！"谷子干妈说。 "我知道！" 张家山的眼神中，突然出现一种温柔的东西。他抬起头来望着谷子干妈。突然，越过谷子干**头顶，他看见远远的山路上，一颠一颠地，过来了周宝元，于是，混浊的眼神，突然像豹子一样锐利和明亮起来。 谷子干妈从张家山的眼神发现了什么，扭头一看，也看见了周宝元。 "红梅，咱们走！" 谷子干妈手牵着贺红梅，匆匆而去。 周宝元下了山路，拐过墙角。在拐过墙角的时候，顺便撒了一泡尿。撒罢尿，一边拴裤带，一边来到门口。 "哈哈哈哈！哈哈哈哈！你这癞人手，果然说到做到！我在这里，迎候你多时了！"张家山手扶门框，一面大笑，跟刚才好像换了个人似的。 "男人家说话，一口唾沫一个坑，况且这次，遇的是你张干大！"周宝元已经把裤带拴好，他拽拽衣襟，拍拍小肚子，回答说。 "闲话少说，咱们进屋吧！" "张干大，我刚才在山梁上，瞅见你家门口有个人影，瞧那走势，好像是贺红梅！" "周宝元，你这是瞅花眼了，那是你谷子干妈！" "我想也是！" 闲拉着，进了屋子，周宝元见屋子中间，端端正正地支了个桌子，放着麻将，他有些意外。 "张干大，你看，我把明宝盒子都带来了！" 张家山接过明宝盒子，一把扔到炕上："尔格社会，讲究潮流。十亿人民九亿赌，剩下一亿作候补。这赌的，就是麻将！咱们撵撵潮流，最好！" 周宝元哼唧了两声，只好坐在桌前。 "三缺一！"他说。 "李文化，你到门口瞅瞅，看见个过路的，拉过来，支个桌子腿儿！" 李文化往门口一站，恰好遇见田庄的田本宽，于是不容分说，拉了进来。 麻将场上，一场昏天黑地的大赌，张家山、李文化有备而来，依计而行，直赢得周宝元场光地净，叫苦连天。 暮色四合。 周宝元栽得不明不白的，哭丧着脸，走了。 "张干大，这事没完！"周宝元说。 谷子干妈、贺红梅见周宝元走了，急急地回到所里。谷子干妈进门第一眼，先看张家山的脸色。张家山面色沉重，耷拉着眼皮，脸上根本看不出个输赢。 有一串鼻涕，从张家山的鼻子上掉下来，挂在腔子上。 谷子干妈掏出手绢，将这鼻涕擦掉。 "赢了！踢死了周宝元！"李文化觉得屋里的气氛有些压抑，他瞅了谷子干妈一眼，将结果说出。 说完，李文化将赢下的钱，一张不剩地掏出来，交给张家山。 张家山将自己身上的钱，也掏出来，两沓钱合在一起，全部交给了谷子干妈。 "你数一数，谷子！" 说完，张家山挪动身子，走过来，心不在焉地摞麻将，往盒里送。 李文化眼瞅着谷子干妈数钱，他想知道究竟赢了多少。 "一共是七百一十三块钱！"谷子干妈说。 "将那钱，取出二百，你拿着，是你交给我的本钱。取出四百，交给贺红梅，让她拿给她大，去还周宝元的赌债。剩下的，给我吧，这是那天在贺家沟，我输的！" 谷子干妈应了一声，然后给指头蘸了些唾沫，又一五一十，按张家山吩咐的，将这些钱分开。 接过谷子干妈递过来的钱，张家山数出三张，给李文化："这是那天贺家沟，我借你的！" 张家山扶着桌子站起，挪到炕上，身子一横，上了炕。上炕以后，他指着还没有摞完的麻将，对李文化说： "李文化，你将麻将拾掇了，送给西头那两兄弟去吧！我有些累了，让我躺一躺！" 张家山感到全身筋骨疼痛，他呻吟起来。 谷子干妈拿起一只枕头，塞到他头底下。 叮叮咚咚，李文化在装麻将。谷子干妈和贺红梅在扫地、拾掇房子，乍舞①着做饭。 李文化说："张干大，我看这麻将桌子，就支着吧！牌也放在咱这儿！这营生能干，空里叨着吃，又省心，又不要摊本，比咱办这个民事调解所，来钱快多了！" 张家山见说，一扑拾起来，骂道："屁话，你经过多少事情！小子，见好就收吧！这种营生，干多了，要折阳寿哩！"
