Chapter 112 The Legend of Niu Tianci (6) - Bang Bang

The new peanuts are off the market again, and Tianci is already one year old. When he was about ten months old, Ji's mother had already opened a drum in her heart: she really wanted to go home to see her baby, but she was afraid of going back.The enjoyment of the city and the pain of homesickness are at best one-sided. Sometimes she would rather sacrifice rice, white flour and neat clothes to restore the joy of family reunion; personal material comforts have not completely overcome her heart. (Otherwise, old Liu Ma doesn't like her.) Here's the difficulty: put yourself aside; that little money!That little money! !That little money! ! !In her view, she has food and drink for herself, and she must give all the money she earns to her family, so that she can be worthy of everyone.At home, her leaving the family was a noble sacrifice, but they really needed the money.She was willing to go back, and they also wanted her to come back, but the feelings were no match for the old hot fact, that little money stood between them and her, like a sneering giant ghost, making their blood freeze.Her heart was tied to her own doll, and her sanity kissed those few dollars forever.go back, go back!Sometimes she stomped her feet and said to herself like this.But she was really afraid—one day she would have to go back!If Tianci is weaned!Weaning at around ten months is common.She often froze, with her long mouth closed in a straight line, unable to think of anything, only home, money, home, money, two black shadows bumped into her heart back and forth.

Fortunately, at about ten months old, Mrs. Niu didn't mention weaning, and neither did Mrs. Liu, the lackey—there were so many things to do, and if the wife couldn't remember them, neither could Mrs. Liu; There are so many things, things that don't need to be done, if the wife mentions them herself, old Liu Ma will add more leaves; are you a real lackey?They didn't mention it, and Mama Ji kept her mouth shut.But she remembered that her baby was two months older than Tianci, and it should be her first birthday.It's a birthday, my baby will go away, how many teeth have grown, what others pissed off, what to eat, what to wear... She looks at Tianci and weeps at night; during the day, she has to hide her tears .

For Tianci, she sometimes hates it because of her own doll; sometimes she loves it because of her own doll.When she thought of her doll, she saw that Tianci was just a pile of foreign money, foreign money that would suckle.But sometimes, she hugged him tightly and kissed him one after another, the long mouth sucked in Tianci's fat cheeks, like a toad swallowing a worm, which made Tianci baffled.In the horror of weaning and unemployment, she couldn't help but love this pile of foreign money more.The only hope in her heart is: if Tianci knows how to repay her kindness and doesn't allow her to leave, she can hang around for a few more months-long-term plans are unthinkable.She took good care of Tianci, and told him all her grievances in a low voice, he seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand and chatted with her.Sometimes she puts the doll down and threatens, "I'm leaving! I'm not coming back!" and then takes a few steps to see what the effect is.Most likely, Tianci rolled up, raised his head, supported it with both hands, and made a few ahhh sounds.Mama Ji felt better - this kid still has a heart.But there were times when he was on his hands and feet, singing short poems, and ignored her; it made her very sad, "Good thing; I'll just go!" But she knew the value of those few dollars couldn't be so casual Abandoned.She is slightly thinner.

As for whether Tianci loves Ji's mother?Hard to say.This kid can sometimes be very calm, with his cheeks drooping and the corners of his eyes twitching, he looks like a fairy who is not very successful, and he doesn't show affection to anyone, especially Mrs. Niu.Of these three women, naturally he and Mama Ji are the most familiar, but familiarity does not mean love.If he could love, he would undoubtedly love the four tigers the most, followed by the old man Niu, probably he would like to be a man.But he also likes things with flowers, and he will rush to anyone with flowers on their clothes; Mama Ji can see this, but she dare not wear flower clothes.In her simple and respectable heart, she planned that if she was dismissed, she would have to wear a floral dress when she left.If Tianci could hold her tightly, she would have more chances.She wanted to secretly entrust four tigers to sell a blue shirt in order to buy a few feet of floral foreign cloth; she would never use a penny of her wages.

But before she could implement this stratagem, she felt that the ground beneath her feet was firmer.One day old Mama Liu was sick, so Mama Ji had to cook in the kitchen.Old Mama Liu hates other people touching her pots, knives and spoons.She would never leave the kitchen as long as she could bear it.Eight out of ten times, she was ill and did not tell others, for fear that others would take over her position.Envy out of loyalty is the greatness of a lackey, but the fault of a saint.This time, she had to leave the kitchen, because Si Huzi found her holding a frying spoon in her hand, lying in front of the water tank, with a mouthful of phlegm in her throat, a mouthful of phlegm that was sure to suffocate her to death.The four tigers panicked, like a frightened chicken, the more he panicked, the more he lost his mind.It wasn't until Mrs. Niu came that he carried old Mama Liu into her room.The old lady Niu opened her own medicine storehouse, did some careful calculation, and found a package of meatballs with the sign "↓" on the paper.The old lady Niu is elegant and official, that is, the method of memorizing the medicine package is learned from the water delivery and charcoal sellers, and different chicken feet are drawn on the paper to represent the difference and function of the medicine: the one with the claw facing up is the gynecological medicine, and the five claws It is for serious illnesses.After the Wuzhuo Pills were poured down, old Liu Ma took a breath, but she was still unable to move; the wife also understood that the order was to be handed over: she was not allowed to go to the ground unless she took the Sizhuo Pills.

In this way, Mama Ji has to go to the kitchen.In the past, every time she offered to help Lao Ma, she was rejected; Lao Ma's sphere of influence was not allowed to be invaded by others.The four tigers can help, such as peeling onions, washing rice and other unsurprising tasks.But Si Huzi is a "boy"; the inconvenience of cooperation of the same sex gives opportunities for the opposite sex to join hands.In addition to looking after the children, Ji's mother usually does some needlework.Old Mama Liu is helpless about this, her eyes are already pale.But she was angry: it wasn't that she really wanted to do everything and exhaust herself to death, but that she wanted everything to be supervised by her, and she had to take the first part in fact.See how embarrassing it is for my wife and Mama Ji to discuss how to cut and how to do it, which is completely out of her business!Therefore, she had to close the kitchen door tightly.Now, after taking the five-claw pills and letting Mama Ji invade the kitchen, she feels the emptiness of her life, lying down like an old dog that coughs when it barks.

Mama Ji herself knew that she couldn't compete with Mama Liu, so she took the shredded green onion as an example.But she felt a little better in her heart, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she thought that she would have the hope of being able to stand up to Old Liu Ma.She had no intention of praying for Mama Liu to die soon, but the facts often hardened her heart: Mama Liu took the Wuzhao Pill, maybe... ah!One's death gives some hope to others. What made her even more happy was that Tianci showed her attitude.She was cooking, and Si Huzi followed his wife's order and sent her back to the camp quickly, because Tianci and his wife had a falling out.The four tigers looked at the rice, Ji's toes were stretched high, her heels were swaying sharply, the hair on her head fell down and down, and she came running in a hurry.Tianci lay on his back on the bed, kicking his hands and feet, crying very sadly, but there were not enough tears.

"Look at this child, look at this child!" Mrs. Niu babbled: "Don't follow me, roll around! Okay, the bigger the better, the better!" Tianci didn't take her mother seriously at all, rushed over to Ji's mother, stuck her head in her arms, and stopped crying immediately.After hiding for a minute, I turned around and smiled, with two teardrops still hanging on my eyelids. "Don't follow me from now on, you little bastard!" Mrs. Niu said, pointing at the tip of his nose. "Ah, Bu!" Tianci resisted unceremoniously. Mama Ji didn't dare to make any gestures, she remained calm and neutral; between the two, this is the most reliable way.But she felt much more at ease - if Tianci could come so many times, her position would be much more stable.

On the day of Tianci's birthday, old Liu's mother went back to work as usual, and had taken all the pills such as five claws, four claws, and three claws in turn; his wife's medical skills were even better than that of Zhang Sangu, who was watching the incense—this was the highest in old Liu's mother's heart. Praise, because Zhang Sangu can cure any disease with incense ash. There are two major ceremonies on Tianci's birthday, one is to eat braised noodles, and the other is to catch the week.The first item seems to have nothing to do with Tianci, but seems to be held exclusively for the four tigers.Si Huzi has a special liking for the braised noodles, and he doesn't want to put down the bowl once he picks it up.According to him, five big bowls are enough to fill his stomach, but he had to add two or three bowls because he couldn't bear to stop the sound of sucking noodles; Coherent.

The second item is a gift from God alone.Everyone was sweating for him.Ji's mother was afraid that he would catch something his wife didn't want him to catch, because he grew up on her milk, and if he didn't improve, it was obviously her milk that was worthless.What if a woman's milk is useless? !Sihuzi has another wish. He earnestly hopes that his wife will be fair and include the pair of clattering sticks. He thinks that a child who doesn't grab toys is not really a child, but a fairy.But Mrs. Niu couldn't be fair, she had already discussed with Liu Ma which things to use to try Tianci.The wife has a small copper seal, which is a relic of her father. Although it is only a personal seal, it looks quite similar to the seal of the yamen.The wife pays the most attention to this symbol of being a high-ranking official and riding a fine horse.Old Liu's mother suggested that this seal should be placed where it is easiest to grasp, and a bunch of flower threads should be tied on the seal button—a little lion—to attract attention.The second is a pen and a small book; although the two are not as promising as those who reach out and grab the seal immediately, they are all inferior, and only reading is high. The pen and book are also symbols of being an official, but they are a little twisted.The second is a big copper coin, which has never been used since it was minted in the Xianfeng period, and it is very bright.This is to perfuse the old man, he is a person who puts money above the official; since the gift of heaven is the joint property of the master and his wife, it must be perfunctory for the old man.

As for the old man Niu, at the moment he thinks that the stewed noodles are above everything else, so he deliberately added a spoon to indicate that there is a stewed noodle to eat - a person who has noodles to eat, and can add stewed noodles at will, will survive.But he didn't suggest to his wife that negotiating less with his wife is the way to make the noodles more digestible. This person will sacrifice his ideals for his stomach. Of course Mama Ji had no right to speak.Si Huzi asked Lao Mama about it, and felt aggrieved in his heart.This is so unfair.Besides, how can it be said that a clattering stick is cheaper than a copper coin?However, he has his own way. On a very beautiful autumn day, there were some nostalgic swallows flying in the shallow blue sky.The Tianci Catch Zhou Ceremony was held at noon, and there was a cockcrow or two in the cinnamon.Old Liu Ma put all the items ordered by Yuding on the copper plate, and asked his wife to have a look.Then Mama Ji brought Tianci in her arms, his face was still swollen, as if he didn't see any joy in the first anniversary.Although the eyebrows have made considerable progress, a few sparse ones have grown.But the nose is rolled up a little more, full of "disdain". In order to take care of his stomach, the master took three bowls of braised noodles inside and shouted loudly on the bed, which is not suitable for autumn.Si Huzi invited him once, and he muttered a few times, not knowing whether he wanted to add some spice or just for the sake of muttering.Anyway, he still fell asleep. The four tigers came back to report: "Master is asleep; shall I take his place?" "What are you?" said Mrs. Si Huzi was also stunned, he didn't know what he was - this was the most difficult question in the world to answer.But he accosted him and stood in the room with his hand on the pocket of his coat, and his wife didn't chase him away. Old Mama Liu was more enthusiastic than Mrs. Niu, and she kept telling Tianci, "Catch that little seal with the flower rope button, old boy!" Tianci looked at the copper plate with his small eyes, then retracted his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, and put his thumb in his mouth, as if he wanted to take a look.The air in the room was very tense.I took out my fingers, put them on the tip of my nose, and felt that my right thumb was not good enough, so I replaced it with my left hand and smacked it.Smacking doesn't seem to be very satisfying, so I put my index finger behind the little white teeth to pick them out, as if I just ate something that stuck my teeth. Ji's mother supported him and sent him to the copper plate. The big mouth made a very slight sound, just like the paper opening on the window. Although it cracked loudly, the sound was very thin. When the wind blew over: "Catch it!" !Catch it! Tianci leaned forward, looking at the small gallbladder bottle on the table for fun, fixed his eyes, pointed with his finger: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhDoesn't look like a brass plate at all. Old Liu's mother was in a hurry and wanted to grab the baby's hand.The wife stopped her very calmly: "Wait, let's see what he catches himself!" Si Huzi didn't intend to make a sound at first, but for some reason there was something awkward in his throat, so he coughed.Tianci turned his head back, and flung his teeth and claws towards this side.At this time, Si Huzi couldn't bear it anymore, took out the clattering stick that had been hidden for a long time from his pocket, and clattered a few times.Tianci smiled, his eyes were shining, and there were several small holes beside his nose, all smiling, leaning forward and stretching out his hands.He's going to bang! The wife wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Soon, the flower stick had changed hands, and Tianci kicked and shook it, making a loud noise. The wife's pair of deep eyes, nailed four tigers, asked: "Flower stick, catch the flower stick, what's the point?" The wife's face was about to drip. "Speaking chapters?" Si Huzi thought for a while: "Love to play!"
