Chapter 15 Zimener and Zibeier

That's just one word. Liu Hanxiang was fascinated by that word. The villagers said that it was a heart-wrenching word, and that word was covered with a "hijab".In the vernacular of the villagers, it is like "buying a cat with a cloth bag", also known as "short of stock".In the countryside, "buy a cat with a cloth bag" means to coax people, but "out of stock" is a bit of a joke. The only thing to rely on is reputation and spirit, and there is a "fool" buried here.If you are not "crazy", people will always think about it.Yes, for thousands of years, once "heart" is entered into that word, it must be out of reach... So, people say that she read "blind" in reading, and that word is very destructive .

Liu Hanxiang is decisive.Because of that word, Liu Hanxiang would not listen to anyone's advice. In this village, only Liu Hanxiang has never been wronged.When she was born, Guodou was already a branch secretary.The secretary's daughter grew up in a relatively superior environment, and she is very proud of her character. In addition, she has read books for ten years, and it is these books that make her a person who dares to take risks. Da Baitao felt sorry for her daughter, and Da Baitao cried for her for two days and three nights.Da Baitao said, girl, you are still young, you don't know this world.The days are the days, and the days are long, not according to what you think.Can't we wait another two years?Can't you just wait and see?How nice it would be for you to go there after he gets promoted in the army.Liu Hanxiang said, no.She has to go now.The person is his, and the heart is also his. Seeing what his family looks like, she has to go now.Da Baitao said, what kind of family is that? Can you bear the hardship?Liu Hanxiang said that suffering is something that people suffer, and people in his family can suffer, so why can't I suffer?Da Baitao said, girl, everything is up to you, just like this, think again.You have never been wronged since you were a child. His house has five sticks, and you are always there to wait on him as soon as he enters the door. What are you trying to do? !She said, I do.I am willing.At this time, Party Secretary Liu Guodou spoke.He said, have you thought about it?She said, think it over.He said, do you have to go there?She said, well.Guodou said, if you leave this door, you will not be my daughter.She was silent for a while, and said no, then no.Liu Guodou was taken aback for a moment, and said you should think again.There are three paths you can choose: One, as long as the cadres in the county and township are young, you can choose whatever you want, no matter who you choose, I agree.Ertiao, your uncle said, I will find you a job in the city, you have to work for a few years first, transfer your household registration, and then go down, you can do whatever you want.Santiao, if you look for that bastard, I will follow you. When he changes jobs and gets into the camp, you follow him with the army. I can't see or worry... Liu Hanxiang said, the road is walked by people .If it's a pit, I'll jump, if it's a river, I'll swim.For the rest of my life, I have recognized him!Liu Guodou gritted his teeth and said, I'll say it again, if you leave this door, you will no longer be my daughter, and we will break off the relationship!

Han Xiang said silently, just break it. The "National Bean" of Guodou's family, a flower on the beam, just stuck in the "cow dung" for nothing! In her husband's house, Liu Hanxiang's life began by squatting in the stove and making "pancakes".A high school student is an "intellectual" in the countryside. After ten years of reading, she can only read one word. This one word makes her a woman squatting in front of a griddle to beat pancakes. At that time, in the countryside of the plain, there was a food made of coarse grains called "black flour pancakes".This "black-faced pancake" is made from dried sweet potato noodles with a little cornmeal on a fire griddle.This kind of mixed noodle mixed with water is first mixed with water in a basin to form mixed noodles, and then small balls are held in the hands, patted into cakes, and turned over to stick on the red hot griddle. Go to the kang, and turn the kang for a while until it is cooked.It takes skill to make pancakes, the pan needs to be hot, and the hand needs to be fast, if you can't see it at a glance, the pancakes will smoke black!On the morning when Liu Hanxiang learned how to make pancakes, she got up early in the morning to light a fire, squatted there for a whole morning, and when she finished taking pictures of half a pot of noodles, she found that the pancakes she took were already "clean". up!The last piece of pancake has also been snatched by Kuaishou Laowu, biting into the small crescent-shaped mouth... The family has long since run out of fine grains to eat, old and young five sticks, a bunch of mouths!

Liu Hanxiang was squatting in front of the smoky grill, her hands were wet, and her fingertips were scalded with blisters!There were streaks of black ashes on her face, and she looked at these "mouths" with a little surprise... At this moment, Lao Wu took the pancake that had been bitten into a crescent moon from his mouth, and said awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, you eat?" Liu Hanxiang smiled silently and said, "You eat. You eat." Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a fight in the yard with a rumble. In the yard, Goudan first gouged out Nao Dan, who said, "What are you looking at? I didn't ask my sister-in-law for candy." Why don't you be so hungry?!" As he said that, he went up and stomped the idiot's foot!The coward rolled around a few times, and a dog ate shit and lay on the ground... Who knows, this iron man was also annoyed, he slapped the dog with his hands!He said bitterly: "Aren't you greedy?! The mouth is so small that you eat one..." Tie Dan slapped the face, and immediately, Goudan's nose bleeds, and he stretched out his hand to wipe his face, Seeing the bloody mess, he turned around and hugged Tie Dan into a ball!At this time, Naodan got up from the ground, stomped his feet, and cried out: "I only ate eight, dog, dog ate twelve? The turtle grandson ate twelve?!..." Shouting like this, he rushed over and put his head on Goudan's back!Here, Goudan was fighting head-to-head with Tie Dantou, and was hit hard by Nao Dan behind him. He became angry for a while and shouted: "Knife, get me a knife! Guadan, knife, I will fight with him!" Fight!" Guadan was timid, first shrank aside, and when he heard Goudan calling him (on weekdays, Goudan was closer to him), he rushed forward, pulling this one, pulling that one, in a hurry I don't know who kicked him... So, the whole family rolled around in the yard, making a pot of rice in an instant!

Listen to the chaos and noise in the courtyard!As soon as Liu Hanxiang took off her apron, she hurried out of the stove.She was stunned for a moment, her face full of surprise!In the yard, the washbasin was kicked over; the chickens flew to the tree; a shoe fell on the wall of the pigsty; the eggs were crying, shouting, cursing, rolling around on the ground , you dragged me, I grabbed you, like mud sows, twisted into a ball of twists! ...Liu Hanxiang stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.For a moment, she said softly, sighing, as if talking to herself: "...Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Just one sentence, just one sentence, all the eggs stopped.They lay down, sat up, crookedly crooked... all of them looked like big toads, and they were still angry, panting heavily. Liu Hanxiang stood in the yard, angry and pitied them.Looking at the tattered eggs, she sighed and said silently: "...it's my fault, it's all my fault. I didn't cook the food well. It's time for you to grow up. It's your fault. If If you're still angry, hit me." The eggs wilted all of a sudden.Knowing that it was wrong, each of them was like barley, and no one said a word.Tie Dan shyly got up from the ground, hooked his head and wanted to slip out... Suddenly, the old uncle jumped out from under the eaves!When the eggs were fighting, he squatted there blindfolded and said nothing.At this moment, I somehow gained strength, holding a rusty old scythe in my hand, suddenly blocked the gate of the courtyard, and shouted: "Damn it, can it be reversed? Whoever dares to move, I will cut him off!" Gou Ri's legs! Let your sister-in-law admit her mistake!"

For a while, the eggs were all dumb, and for a long time, no one said anything.It's still the fifth child, he's the youngest and thicker-skinned.He opened his mouth first, and the fifth child said in a crying voice, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I, I... I won't eat so much again." The fourth child licked his lips and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet." Seeing what the fourth child said, Goudan also said: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was wrong." Tie Dan didn't say a word, Tie Dan hooked his head, just stood at the gate of the courtyard in such a sullen manner...

Liu Hanxiang felt sour after hearing this, and said, "I was wrong. When you are growing up, you still have to eat enough. Don't worry about it, I will find a way. Forget it, let's go to school." Liu Hanxiang's words were like an amnesty. The eggs got up from the ground and fled out one by one in despair. Liu Hanxiang was still standing there, but her heart was in a mess.Ordinarily, she was mentally prepared to come to her husband's house.She felt that as long as there was that word at the bottom, she would not be afraid of suffering.But what she didn't expect was that suddenly, in a daze, she became the "head" of the family!This family's daily necessities, food, clothing and flowers are all for her to consider.Suddenly, it seemed as if the whole sky was on her head, it was very heavy!

The old uncle held the old scythe in his arms, stood there with his arms folded, sighed a long time, and murmured: "His sister-in-law, you have been wronged." Liu Hanxiang said, "Father, I'm fine, go ahead." So, Liu Hanxiang went back to the stove, quietly made a large pot of dried sweet potato noodles, and continued making pancakes alone.The frying pan got cold for a while, and then overheated for a while. I added more firewood, but forgot to put the pancakes, put the pancakes, and forgot to add fire. It always made her flustered, and often black smoke came out when she couldn't see it at a glance!Just patting and patting like this, she couldn't help crying, and the tears all over her face fell on the griddle.She just cried, patted, patted, and cried... While feeling wronged in her heart, she kept scolding herself, saying that you are so stupid, can't you even cook a meal?

Unexpectedly, when it was almost time for dinner, Lao Wu came back sweating profusely.This child, with snot running down his mouth, and his face full of joy, even said in an expressive tone: "Sister-in-law, there is something delicious!" Liu Hanxiang didn't understand at first, so he smiled and said, "This child, your nose is really good." Sharp!" At this moment, Lao Wu stretched out the cloth shirt in his arms, and said with a smile, "Look!" ——I saw six pieces of hot roasted sweet potatoes bulging in my arms! Liu Hanxiang looked at it, and his complexion gradually sank, and he still asked softly: "Little brother, where did you come from?" The other boys also turned their eyes up: "Steal from others?!" The fifth child hurriedly said: "No. ——Put the pot row on the head of the little finger!" This is a rural mantra, and it is also an oath.But the eggs still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Tell me, where did you get it?!" The fifth child said: "I changed it, I changed it with 'Shanghai'." Tiedan shouted: "Hu Ribai, where do you get it?!" 'Shanghai'?! See if I don't hit you!" The fifth child said: "Really, really. I want to slander you—the pot row on the head of the little finger!" Liu Hanxiang patted his head and said: "Little brother, you Tell me the truth, where did you get the baked sweet potatoes?" The fifth child blinked, counted his fingers and said, "Look, I first used five pieces of sugar paper, glass sugar paper, from 'Shanghai', and exchanged ten pieces with Xiao Fuzi. Two bullet eggs. Let’s exchange twelve bullet eggs and Er Hammer for a box of ‘Hadmen’. Er Hammer’s father is a butcher, and his house has plenty of cigarettes. I gave this pack of cigarettes to the kiln. Old Xu, who is addicted to cigarettes, is addicted to cigarettes. He has a pile of sweet potatoes at his place, so he replaced them with roasted sweet potatoes like Lao Xu who was in the kiln..." After finishing speaking, everyone looked at him blankly.No one would have imagined that a small person would toss and turn like this, turning the hot roasted sweet potatoes back.Liu Hanxiang sighed and said: "Little brother, don't do this in the future, go to school." The fifth child said: "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you."

That night, Liu Hanxiang brought out a large stack of sweet potato noodle pancakes she had taken, put them on the pan, and said to the eggs: "Eat, eat with an open stomach, don't be hungry." This dinner, the eggs are eating well, everyone is polite, I will take it after you have taken it, and there will be no more snatching.After eating, they slipped out again quietly one by one.The fourth son was more careful, seeing that Liu Hanxiang hadn't eaten, he quietly walked into the kitchen and said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet." Liu Hanxiang glanced at him, felt sour in his heart, and said gratefully: "My dear brother, I've eaten." Just such a "good" made the fourth child's face turn red all of a sudden.This kid, he turned his head and ran away. However, the days are long, and the days will always be passed day by day.Liu Hanxiang was really worried.She thought, if it goes on like this, is there no way out?Just like that, she didn't have many days in the door, and she quickly lost weight.The thinness is visible, the blush on the face before was originally bright as porcelain; now, it has faded a lot, the white is still white, even if it is a little pale, it only makes the eyes bigger.There are very few days without oil and water, so just eat sweet potato steamed buns and sweet potato soup, rinse and rinse, and the intestines will be thinned.Liu Hanxiang still brought some "self-money" when he entered the door, but he couldn't help posting it in every day, and it didn't take long for him to post it.Every time she went out, someone would say, "Han Xiang, you've lost weight." She smiled and said, "Are you thin? Not thin." But she thought to herself, if this continues, there is no way out.She has to hold up a family.In any case, she had to support the family.Now that she's here, there's no reason to go back.She wants people to see that she, Liu Hanxiang, can support a family! When the wheat was planted, one day, Liu Hanxiang went to the primary school in the village.She found the principal, whose surname was Ma, who was originally from the city, had been a rightist, and was also her teacher. Because of myopia, he was called "Horse Spectacles".She said: "Ms. Ma, can I come to the school to substitute?" Principal Ma looked closely through the glasses that bound his legs, and said, "Hanxiang? It's Hanxiang. Do you want to be a private teacher?" Liu Hanxiang said: "Isn't there twelve yuan a month?" Principal Ma said: "That's right, that's true." Liu Hanxiang said: "Can I come?" Principal Ma hesitated for a moment, then said: "I can come, seniors There is a shortage of people. But I have to ask your father to speak." Liu Hanxiang asked: "Is it okay if I don't?" Principal Ma was stunned for a while, then said: "I'm old and thin-skinned. Let the party secretary speak." Liu Hanxiang didn't say anything, she stood up and walked out silently.Principal Ma chased him out of the house and shouted, "Han Xiang, don't be too stubborn. Let your father say something, he will always be your father." Walking out of the school gate, Liu Hanxiang felt depressed.She thought, I can't beg him, I can't come to the door to beg him!He no longer recognizes me as a girl, why should I ask him? !But as she walked, her mind changed again.She felt that she could no longer be so self-willed, she was no longer alone, she had to support a family.Besides, there are not many high school students in the village, why can't she be a private teacher?This is a legitimate request.So, after thinking about it, she couldn't help but swallowed a laugh.Just like that, she went back to her husband's house, wrapped three eggs (they were new chickens) in a blue sweater, and went to the brigade headquartered in high spirits. After entering the brigade headquarters, Liu Hanxiang put the eggs he had brought on the table, and said deliberately: "Secretary, I brought you a present." Liu Guodou was stunned by the "secretary", and he raised his head, raving in a daze Looking at her intently, that's his own daughter!After a while, he suddenly turned his head away, smoking one mouthful after another without saying a word.Liu Hanxiang said: "What, you think you are being rude?" Liu Guodou hummed heavily, but still didn't say anything.Liu Hanxiang said: "Principal Ma said that according to the conditions, I can be a private teacher. I just wait for your words." Liu Guodou suddenly said: "I knew you would come to me. Don't look for me, you are not my daughter! "Liu Hanxiang said: "I am not here to be your daughter, I am here to be a private teacher." Liu Guodou said angrily: "You, who should you go to?" At this moment, the room suddenly fell silent.After a while, Liu Hanxiang said softly and silently: "You are the branch secretary, it's fine if you don't want to." She turned around and walked out.Liu Guodou raised his head, looked at his daughter with resentment, bit his teeth again and again, and said, "You, you!...Take your eggs away!" Liu Hanxiang loosened his pace, but did not stop, and continued to walk outside.At this moment, Liu Guodou's heart felt wet, his daughter lost weight, much thinner!After all, it is his own daughter... Thinking of this, he hurriedly stretched out his feet to look for the shoes. He was impatient and couldn't find them, so he lay down on the table and yelled, "You, you, you... take the eggs away, You are not my daughter!" In the middle of the night, Liu Hanxiang came to the grove of locust trees.That was the place where she and he co-cast that word.The characters were cast. For a long time, she only saw the front of the characters. Now, she finally saw the back of the characters... The night was quiet, and the wind was like a knife, cutting people sternly. s face.On the ground, the yellow leaves were scorched and fried, every step was scary!In the sky, stars twinkle.In the distance, and only in the distance, the sky is bright.Is the place where the light shines that day, that is where he is?What is he doing now?Miss you... She said in her heart, you cry.There's no one here, so it's better for you to cry.She stood there, shedding tears silently for a while, and then said to herself, you have nothing now, you only have that word, and you have read the back of the word... Are you afraid?For a moment, she shook her head in her heart, and still said to herself, that word is enough.What more do you want? Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the woods.The sound startled her!She turned around and asked in a voice, "Who?!" Slowly, as soon as it got dark in the woods, a figure appeared.It's four eggs.The four eggs, each holding a stick in his hand, stood there like a wall.Liu Hanxiang's heart felt hot, and she walked forward quickly, touched the fifth child's head, and said, "Come back, let's go back." When I got home, I saw the old uncle was circling around a man in the yard like a donkey.With his face half upturned, he walked around the man and said, "Good man. Glasses Ma, you are a good man!" Principal Ma said, "Where is Han Xiang? Why hasn't Han Xiang come back yet?" said the old uncle : "Soon, I'll be back soon. What a good man! Old horse. The children are all at your mercy. They can recognize those characters, and when they are stacked, they are thicker than steamed bun papers..." While speaking, he glanced Turning around, he patted his legs and said, "I'm back, I'm back, look, I'm not coming back." At this time, Principal Ma adjusted his glasses, straightened his waist, and said, "Hanxiang, I've been waiting for you It’s been a long time.” Liu Hanxiang said, “Mr. Ma, why are you here?” Principal Ma said, “I’m here to inform you.” Liu Hanxiang was overjoyed, and said, “What’s the letter? Do you have a letter?” Principal Ma He said: "I have a lot of good things to say! The village has finally spit it out. No, the branch secretary has spoken. You can go to class tomorrow." At this time, Liu Hanxiang was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I won't go." Principal Ma was stunned and said: "Hanxiang, it costs twelve yuan a month. After three years of work, once you become a regular, it will be thirty-eight!" Liu Hanxiang said: "I know. But I won't go. At this time, the old rightist principal Ma said: "Han Xiang, listen to me, and you should bow your head. That's your father!" However, Liu Hanxiang said resolutely, "I won't go."
