Hu Tiancheng meant what he said. Hu Tiancheng said he would find a wife for Sun Budai, so he found a wife for him. That woman was picked up.On a snowy morning, Hu Tiancheng found a foreign woman in a thatched cottage by the cabbage field at the head of the village.The woman was lying in the nunnery, already unconscious. Hu Tiancheng has always had the habit of getting up early.From a young age, he got up on time every day when the rooster crowed.At that time, he was full of energy and always woke up before dawn. After waking up, he would think for a while in bed, roll a bag of cigarettes by the oil lamp, and think about the day's affairs.When it was dawn, he was already standing under the old locust tree at the head of the village.

Then, the bell rang.His time is his working time. That day, he could have afforded it so early, when the window paper was white, he knew it was snowing.There is not much work in winter, and it is not necessary to work in snowy weather.But he was used to getting up early, and he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't get up, so he got out of bed with his clothes on, and walked around the house, still a little uneasy, so he said, go and see the cabbage. "Cabbage" is like a prophecy. This may be God's arrangement. If he didn't come out that morning, the woman would freeze to death in the hermitage.

When he went out, the snow was still falling, the sky and the earth were barren, and the whole village was covered in dazzling white.In the early morning, the quiet white is very soothing.The snow presents different shapes on the ground, on the house, and on the trees, and it is so natural and primitive.People are walking in this silence, only the sound of "creak, creak", the sound is very crisp, and the footprints on the ground are one after another. When looking back, people can't help but have some lofty thoughts. .It's snowing! Hu Tiancheng first came to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. He stood under the tree for a while. For a moment, he even took the rope for ringing the bell from the tree, but when he was about to ring the bell, he hesitated again. He said to himself , the sky is still falling, forget it.Then he hung up the rope and walked towards the cabbage field at the head of the village.

When he came to the head of the village, he suddenly found scattered wheat straw scattered on the ground. Walking along the traces of wheat straw, he came to the thatched hut. He looked inside with a little doubt, and saw the woman... It was a very thick and thin woman with a sallow complexion, and she was covered with a half-worn jujube cloth blouse.She was lying curled up in the hut, rolling in a mess of wheat grass, huddled on the ground like a sheep, twitching from time to time in a coma.She looked so thin, so pitiful, like a little lamb waiting to die.At that time, the only impression she gave was a teardrop on her eyelashes.Her eyelashes are very long, and the teardrop is held on her eyelashes. There is a round tear between the thin eyelashes. It seems that it is about to fall, but it does not fall. It is so silent and distressing. with.

The woman was revived with a grass fire and six bowls of millet soup.Hu Tiancheng carried her back to the team, made her angry, and ordered someone to make soup for her.When the rice soup was ready, she was still in a coma. She was half-comatose, and someone fed her, and she actually drank six bowls one spoon at a time!Seventh Aunt said: "Tian Cheng, she is starving!" The first thing she said after waking up was: "Mother, uncle, can you find me a place to eat?" When she said this, Hu Tiancheng was squatting outside the door, smoking.After hearing this, Hu Tiancheng twisted his cigarette, stood up, and went to find Sun Budai.

He never thought that this incident would bring him lifelong regret. At that time, it was half an hour later, and Sun Budai had just gotten up. He was wearing an old coat, he didn't care about his shoes, and with his bare feet, he was laying a "grain pile" in front of the bed. the ground.What a lazy man!He actually dug a small fire kiln two bricks wide in front of the bed, and he was squatting next to the fire kiln, burning sweet potatoes for food.What he burned was tobacco stalks, and he saw wolf smoke billowing in the room, which made him cough loudly... Hu Tiancheng kicked the fire kiln when he entered the door, and said, "Damn it, look at your house, it's not as good as a kennel!"

Seeing that it was Hu Tiancheng who came in, Sun Budai said, "I don't have a wife, where can you find me a wife?" Hu Tiancheng smiled and said, "I found your daughter-in-law." Sun Budai said, "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?" Hu Tiancheng's face darkened, and he said, "I'll count on what I say." Sun Budai jumped up with a "bass" and said, "Found it?!" Hu Tiancheng said: "Go, get him back and treat him well." Sun Budai excitedly ran up and down the room, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Which village, where is it, where is the person?!"

Hu Tiancheng said: "Outsider, I picked up a woman for you, go and carry her back." Sun Budai raised his legs and walked out the door. He walked a little too fast, and bumped into the door frame with a "boom", hitting his head with a big bump!He rubbed his forehead and swished out.Not long after, he folded back and said, "A paralyzed man after working for a long time? I don't want a paralyzed man." Hu Tiancheng tightened his face and said, "You really don't want it?" Sun Budai opened his mouth and said nothing more.He thought about his wife for so long that he was going crazy, even a paralyzed man wanted it... He muttered, "Let me see, I'll see first."

Hu Tiancheng went on to say: "Who said he was a paralyzed person? You don't want it, it's hard to say whether he wants to talk to you or not." Sun Budai said in a low voice, "I'm not a paralyzed man, why did you ask me to carry..." Hu Tiancheng said: "It's hungry. It will be fed after three days." Having said that, Sun Budai went there with suspicion. Unexpectedly, the next day, Sun Budai came looking for Hu Tiancheng again.He said: "I can't hit it. I'm too thin, only a handful of bones are left. I still have a fever. It's like burning coals. I'm afraid I won't be able to support him."

Hu Tiancheng looked at him without saying a word. Sun Budai murmured, "I only have that little ration... You see, I didn't touch her. I really didn't touch her. I lied to you as my grandson. Once you touch her...she looks like Liuli Gebaer. You can't even touch her." I don’t dare to touch it. It’s frightening to scream at night.” Hu Tiancheng said: "Do you want it? If you don't want to say a word." Sun Budai kept saying, "Yes, yes. I want it." Hu Tiancheng snorted, and said, "If you want, treat her well. She is cold, let her take care of her, and I will write you a letter when she is here, and I will take care of things right now."

Sun Budai said in a low voice, "Only my ration... what if she dies? If she dies, it can't be counted, right?" Hu Tiancheng said: "Get out! Get out." Sun Budai "slipped out" and ran into the courtyard, saying: "Look, I sold my face, I sold my face..." Next, he looked at Hu Tiancheng's face, not daring to continued. Later, in the middle of the day, Hu Tiancheng suddenly went to Sun Budai's house. When he went, he was followed by the old custodian Yukun and the village's barefoot doctor Fenggu.The old custodian was pulling a shelf cart, which contained half a cart of sweet potatoes, which had just come out of the cellar, and half a cloth bag of millet was placed on the sweet potatoes.Hu Tiancheng didn't enter the house. He stood in the yard and said to Sun Budai, "Listen, these are three hundred catties of sweet potatoes and fifty catties of millet. They were borrowed from you. Give them to her. What's wrong with her?" , ask Feng Gu to show her and get an injection... By the way, the team will buy another quilt for you, so you can live a good life." Sun Budai blinked, then fell to his knees with a "plop".He turned around and bowed in all directions and said, "Wow, Tian Cheng, I'm convinced. I'm really convinced!" A few days later, when Sun Budai came out, someone asked him, "Budai, how is your wife?" Sun Budai said with a smile: "I can't say it, I can't say it. It used to be yellow and waxy, and it's not a good look. Who knows that once the food is fed, it will make a picture!" The villagers said: "You look beautiful? Why can't you say it?" Sun Budai clicked his tongue and said, "Zap, Bai, Lao Bai!" Someone asked curiously, "Why?" Sun Budai said: "You don't know how white it is, it's like fine powder!" Someone teased him and said, "What fine powder, sweet potato flour?" Sun Budai gestured and said, "Really. Really! You are a grandson, whiter than fine powder." Someone said: "White than fine powder? What is that?" Sun Budai said triumphantly, "What?—Much more!" People laughed coquettishly.Sun Budai said with a blushing face, "Don't you believe it? It's unbelievable..." He laughed and walked away. A few days later, when Sun Budai went out again, he saw that the clothes he was wearing were more regular, and those rotten places should be repaired and sewn; the face had obviously been washed with water, as if it had been replaced. Personally, he looks more energetic.A person who hasn't washed his face for many years, actually washes his face? !The villagers looked at him in amazement, and said in amazement, "Budai, did you wash your face too?!" Sun Budai boasted cheerfully, "Yes, yes. It's nothing to wash your face. Not only wash your face, but also wash your butt every day!" Someone said: "Blow it. You will kill all the cows in Dongguai." He said: "Really. Really. People in the south are very particular. They wash their buttocks every day. If they don't wash, they won't let them go to bed." Someone said, "Are you washing her, or is she washing you?" People laughed again. Sun Budai blushed and said, "I can't say it. Really, I can't say it..." After that, for a period of time, everyone in the village wanted to see what the "Duobanmian" looked like.As a result, the villagers began to look for various excuses, such as borrowing a dustpan, or looking for a rope... They all ran to Sun Budai's house to see the woman.Anyone who has seen the "Xinyang woman" (at this time, the villagers already knew that there was a famine in Xinyang in the south, and many people died of starvation! She ran from the south, so they all called her "Xinyang woman"). It's a pity, what a pity, it's like a flower stuck in cow dung! Especially those men, they didn't believe it at first.Let alone good looking.To put it bluntly, they are all individuals, how white can it be? !Isn't fat girl white?Isn't Feng Gu white?How can I be so white?However, after they saw it, they were all overwhelmed by the brilliance!What kind of whiteness is that, that whiteness is produced by water grinding, it is fine hair white, tender and tender white, that whiteness can give birth to the light of porcelain flowers!On the plains, people have never seen a woman with such thin hair, it is the strength of the soil and water!This whiteness comes from the moist water in the south, and I am afraid that only in the south can such whiteness come out.This is really called Bailitohong!The red is the color of blood that bleeds out traces, and the blood color naturally bleeds on the tender white, stretching out veins of freshness, just like a blooming flower!Not to mention the eyebrows and eyes, they are all nourished by good water, so moist!Ouch, I dare not look at it, it makes me want to go crazy! What a "multiple faces"! Afterwards, people said: What is Sun Budai?There is such a beautiful blessing? ! As a result, the villagers were all indignant again, saying that it was Tian Cheng who saved the person, and Tian Cheng was a great benefactor!Let Sun Budai take advantage of this Lai Sun? ! This word was passed on and passed on, and it reached the ears of the "Xinyang woman"... However, Hu Tiancheng was the only one who didn't go to see the woman.He just smiled when rumors swirled. On Chunshang, when the woman walked out of the house, she caught the attention of the entire village.Men especially love to hear her speak. Her southern accent is like cotton candy, soaked in glutinous rice noodles, sweet, soft, and woolen.When working in the fields with the women in the village, some men often thought of ideas to go to the women's group to borrow something, just to see her.But Hu Tiancheng had never seen her face to face.For some reason, the more people talk about her, the less Hu Tiancheng sees her.He is the party secretary, and he has many opportunities to see her, but he just doesn't see her. Once, when there was a meeting in the village, the woman also went.I saw a person standing high on the stone roller under the big locust tree.The man is not tall, but he has a heroic spirit.She asked curiously: "Who is this?" A woman chirped and said, "Oh, you don't know? You don't know?! She is our branch secretary, he is the one who saved you. He But your benefactor!" She murmured, "He...is so young?" The women said, "Don't look at him as young, he is so capable, everyone in the village admires him." After hearing this, she stole her eyes again I looked up and said nothing. That night, the woman went to him. At that time, he often did not go home, and lived alone in the brigade headquarters.At that time, the headquarters of the brigade was located in the courtyard outside the village, just three or two dilapidated thatched houses, with a forest behind.When she went, he was lying down and writing something under the lamp. In front of him was a mud table built of earth. On the table was a piece of newspaper, and on the paper was a horse lantern with a glass cover... She stood at the door, looked at him silently for a while, and said, "Are you the branch secretary?" He knew that someone was coming, but he didn't look back, he just said, "Yes." She said, "You saved me?" He said, "Forget it." She said, "Is that the account you registered for me?" He said nothing. She said, "Is that the in-law's family you found for me?" Suddenly, she said with a bit of resentment: "Why did you find such a master for me?" He still didn't say anything. She added: "Everyone in the village has visited me, why don't you go?" He remained silent. She said: "Benefactor, you are my benefactor." Then she bent her knees and knelt behind him. At that time, after all, he was young and energetic, and he couldn't stand people kneeling down.So, he hurriedly turned around, stood up to help her, and said, "What are you doing? Get up..." But when he saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but "" Hiccup" for a moment, and was stunned.He said in his heart, it seems that people are fed with food!As long as he had a few full meals... After a while, he thought of stretching out his hands to help her, but when he helped her up, it felt like he was burned by a branding iron!Through the clothes, he clearly felt the soft trembling... He even said a little flusteredly: "You sit and you sit." Then, he turned around, and in order to hide his inner unrest, he deliberately smiled and said: "Everyone says you are white, you are really a white girl!" She said, "My name is Xiuya." He couldn't help but shouted, "Xiu... oh." She said, "Xiuya." He said, "Show." She said, "It's Xiuya." He stood there in a daze, panting heavily... Then, he turned around abruptly and said, "I'm going to look at the cabbage in the field." She said, "Cabbage?" He said, "Cabbage." She said, "How can I thank you?" He turned around, and immediately a huge black shadow appeared on the wall.Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me see the cabbage!" She glanced at him silently, then sat obediently on the rope bed, and took off the clothes she was wearing one by one... Suddenly, the white body appeared completely.The white glowed brightly in the shadows, just like the water under the moonlight, it was a pool of bouncing white water! Hu Tiancheng's breathing became heavier. He stepped forward quickly, and suddenly, he stopped, turned around hastily, and held the lantern with a glass cover in his hand, and when he walked to the bed, he turned the lantern brighter some. In an instant, the carcass turned into a powdery white flame! He just held the lamp in one hand, and reached down with the other... When his hand was about to touch the carcass, he suddenly felt an electric shock, and the numbness went to his arm all at once!Is that cool, is that slippery, is that hot, is that soft, is that... ah!When the finger touched the flesh, the trembling sensation went numb to the heart.Wow, the pink and white meat is not trembling in one place, it is simply "called meat"!Wherever you move, it trembles; wherever you touch, there will be a tingle of fright.That numbness, that coldness, that trembling, that cold twitch, that lightning-like convulsion, it was like climbing a mountain of swords into a sea of ​​fire!You feel it is cold, but it is hot; you feel it is soft, but it has the beating of steel; you feel it is wet, but it is burning like a soldering iron; you feel it is hot, but it is as cold as a snake.What a sea of ​​waves!It can say, bark, jump, and bite; it will "hiss" for a while, "rustle" for a while, "yah" for a while, and "what about" for a while... Finally, when he grasped those two towering snow peaks, all his trembling turned into one sentence: "O benefactor, take me!" Hu Tiancheng exploded, he exploded into a crazy sea of ​​flames! The lantern shattered to the ground with a "clang", and when the lamp went out, he threw himself on the "Jiaorou"... At this moment, the dogs in the village suddenly started biting, and the barking of the group of dogs was particularly piercing in the quiet night, and suddenly they rang to the entrance of the village, as if they were facing the courtyard!Immediately afterwards, groups of dogs rushed into the field, and the yard was full of screams of "Wow, woof, woof!"... After a while, footsteps came again.The footsteps of "Sala, Shala" sounded in the yard, and the footsteps clearly came towards the team headquarters! Xiuya was trembling all over, and said tremblingly, "Someone is here..." Hu Tiancheng straightened up, before he had time to take off his clothes, he just stood there in the dark, without saying a word for a long time.After a while, he said, "You go." What a night it was! After Xiu Ya left, Hu Tian walked around the room like crazy, he had never seen such a woman in his whole life!Although he said he had a wife, but his daughter-in-law was a child bride who had been in the house since she was six years old. She was dry, and he never treated her as a wife.Especially after giving birth, it becomes a basket hanging on the wall, making you almost forget the days of sifting noodles.He didn't know what a woman was until tonight.She is not only white, she is simply a crazy "cabbage"! ... Unexpectedly, the next night, the dog bit again.
