Chapter 123 Niu Tianci Biography (17) - Go to the Countryside

The funeral went out safely.Neither side stumbled.It turned out that the old man Niu would never add money, but the relatives were planning to block the fight and make a funeral, not allowing God to give the top spirit.Neither side will budge.After two days, both sides came to their senses, whoever's head hurts if it is broken, and whoever is not made of iron.So I thought about the face problem.Assuming that if the face is decent, enough is enough, and both sides withdraw their troops together.Until the day when the hanging was carried out, everyone's eyes were still red, as if anyone could eat people.It was not until the morning of the funeral that the price was negotiated, and everyone wept to bring out the coffin, crying freely.Grandma Lei Gong called her sister-in-law so much that even the onlookers were in tears. She cried while pressing the one hundred foreign currency notes in her pocket.Big White Nose and the others also wailed loudly, wetting the whole handkerchief wet.The funeral is very powerful: forty-eight people's bars, red and silver dragons.Two groups of drummers, one team of voiceless voices, thirteen monks, full deacons, gold and silver mountains, four couples of boys and girls, green sedan chairs on top of horses, snowy willow elegiac couplets, and a dozen or so plain carts.Paper money was scattered all over the street, and some flew into the air by the heat of burning paper.The most majestic is Godsend.He is a filial son, followed by four little Lei Gongs.The four tigers supported him, under all eyes, he forgot who died, and only remembered his own identity.He cried, he walked slowly, he bowed his head, he thanked the tea table, he was very solemn, because it was a joke.He heard it, and the people on the side of the road said: "Look at this dutiful son, he looks like a grown-up!" He tightened his face even more.He didn't wake up until his mother was buried in the ground and everyone dispersed, saying, "Mom has been buried in the ground!" He really cried, and he will never be able to see his mother again!He sat on the cemetery, looking at the field, deserted, he was at a loss - what's the matter?

When I came back from the cemetery, it was already dark.The gift of heaven is exhausted, but the silence of the house is like pouring some cold water on the head.His eyes, ears, and nose look for familiar faces, sounds, and smells.No more, the things in the house are still the same, but the atmosphere has changed.No one asked him to eat or drink anymore, and no one even threatened him anymore.He thought of his mother's good points, and even her bad points became good.He sat down with tears in his eyes, he must be a grown-up; there was no mother.He pitied his mother in that cold grave, just as he was in this empty room.He seemed to understand something.Dad was lying on the bed in the Westinghouse, with a lot of loess on his clothes, and fell asleep just like that.He seemed to understand his mother but not his father.Dad has changed his appearance these days.He looked at his father, his short yellow beard had many white strands, his face was wrinkled, and he sighed while sleeping.Is this the charitable father?He was a little scared.I found Si Huzi to go.

"What shall I do?" he asked. "Ask Mom Ji for something to eat first," Si Huzi suggested, "Sleep after eating." "Where to sleep?" Everything is out of place!When his mother was alive, he hated those rules; when his mother was dead, he could no longer find the rules, and felt helpless, like a dog that had lost its owner. "Go to sleep with Dad!" Si Huzi was obviously very wise after the death of Mrs. Niu.The aftermath of the funeral also gradually calmed down. The old man paid off all the bills that should be paid, and it seemed that there was nothing left to do.He is often with Godsend, and he talks about some things and others, which brings him some happiness.Tianci gained a lot of knowledge in this kind of chat, because what Dad said was the language of buying and selling.He also seemed to have an interest in money.Dad's whole life, as shown by his conversation, has been making money.Money can be made under any circumstances.I went to the shop with my dad to have a look. The guys respected him very much and called him young master.The people in the shop receive and pay money, settle accounts and press accounts, and they all stand on the money.The little seal his mother gave him, he fastened on the button of his close-fitting jacket, but this little seal no longer meant much: he couldn't think of any advantages of being an official, and money was the only thing he had.Money made Dad be kind to him, and he would buy whatever he wanted; money made Dad powerful, able to conquer Grandma Lei.The four tigers have no money, and Ji's mother has no money, so they both suffer.He grew up, he thought, and had to be a man of money.He bought a stuffed gourd jar, asked his father for more change, and threw a few into the jar.Shaking it from time to time, he felt that it was his own money.He asked Si Huzi the price of various things, and then calculated that he had reached a position where he could afford something.Ah, he can buy a big kite with a harp!Ordinary children can't afford one with a piano!He feels his own identity and power.He is very proud.He asked Dad: How much is our house worth?Dad said it was worth more than three thousand, and the wooden frame is good, although it is not big.More than three thousand!This set his imagination aflame.Seventy cents can buy a good kite; more than three thousand!Dad must be a capable person.Dad is by no means so-so, no!He must learn from his father. "Dad, when I grow up tomorrow, how much do you think I can earn? One thousand a month!" "What a boy!" Dad liked it very much, "What a boy!"

"How much money do you earn, Dad?" "Me? How can you be sure? There are losses and gains in business!" "Don't lose money, just make money, isn't it good?" "Yes!" Dad nodded, admiring his son's wisdom very much. But "how did you make money?" "You have to have eyes." Dad's eyes are not very good, but he said very interestingly: "If the goods are out of stock, you have to restrain them, and if you have too many goods, you have to let go quickly. The business is quick and ruthless, relying on mobilization; You don’t need to plan to make money by selling high-end goods in the market!” “Ouch!” Tianci didn’t understand everything, but pretended to understand.

I ran to the backyard to find Mama Ji, "Mama Ji! Is our Mido or Noodle?" "So what?" "If there is less, you have to restrain it, and if it is too much, let it go!" Not only is he proud of being able to use these two words, but he also feels that he can already control Ji's mother. "Fuck you!" After her mother died, Mama Ji lost her rules. "Tell you to go!" "Go! Leave early!" She knew that Tianci would not leave.Since her mother died, she has always cared about the food, drink and warmth given by God. "Hey, let me say, can you go to the countryside with me?" Mama Ji went home three or four days a year since she changed from nurse to maid.Now that she is resting again, she is afraid that no one will take care of Tianci, so she wants to take him with her.

Tianci is willing to go, he has never seen the countryside. "When I tell Dad to go, ask for more money and buy them some snacks!" He unconsciously imitated his mother's pomp. Dad agreed, and gave Ji some of his wife's old clothes.Grandma Lei and others stole a lot of the wife's things. Dad doesn't care about these things, but he shouldn't steal them, so he gave these things to Ji's mother in a fit of anger. "I can give it to whomever I like; stealing from me is not a joke!" When Mom died, Dad immediately became angry. It was just when the winter moon was about to fade and the twelfth lunar month was coming, Tianci wore an unknown number of clothes, wrapped a scarf around his neck, put on gloves, and thick cotton trousers squeezed his legs straight out.When the sun was about to rise, he and Ji Ma went out of the city gate.The weather was fine, the sun was not too hot, but fortunately there was no wind.Ji's mother's eyes were very bright, holding a bag of odd clothes, full of hope.Tianci was carrying a bag of snacks - Dad bought it for the old man Ji.After leaving the city gate, Mama Ji hired two donkeys.Tianci's heart skipped a beat. He had never ridden a donkey.Ji's mother is very good at turning her feet over without stepping on the stirrups, and her body is leaning forward and backward in a very stable manner.Tianci was helped up by the driver, and when the donkey moved, he got down on the ground and groped for the donkey's neck.Grabbing his legs hurriedly, and riding again, Ji's mother yelled to support him!The donkey walked away slowly, and the thick cotton trousers sent by God could only spin his legs, but they couldn't hold the donkey.His face was burning hot, he grabbed the soft saddle hard, and fixed his eyes on the donkey's ears.The donkey knew he was a layman, so he raised his head to smell the air, lowered his neck to sniff the piss, shook his body, spread his legs, and jerked up and down.Tianci didn't mess with it, feeling that his feet were high off the ground and his head was in the air.Not far away, his ass shoveled.Ji's mother said: Follow the strength of the donkey!He found the strength of the donkey, the donkey was lower and the donkey was higher, the donkey was forward and the other was backward, he left the saddle for a while, suddenly fell on the saddle and couldn't find the strength of the donkey, so he bumped himself into a panic.He had no choice, and the driver had no choice, but the donkey was happy.Tianci was disappointed, and usually boasted to Ji's mother that he knew this and that, so it turned out that he couldn't control a donkey!Besides, I'm still hungry, I've never been so hungry!The cold air, the smell of donkey urine, and the jolting up and down seemed to make my stomach bottomless.Although he had already eaten two chickens at home, his belly seemed to have touched his back, and he seemed to be able to see that his body was completely transparent.

Fortunately, there is a wild teahouse by the road, with sesame seed cakes and twisted twists.Get off the donkey, he ate the biscuits.Chewing sesame seed cakes, he realized that he had already arrived in the countryside; he saw nothing along the way, only donkey ears.Ah, this is the country!He doesn't like the way the countryside looks like: there are no shops, no carriages and horses, and there are yellow and gray fields all around, with some dead trees in the distance.It's the same everywhere: the ground, the trees, the little sunlight.Occasionally there is a pedestrian, either carrying something or carrying a dung basket. It seems that there are no decent people in the countryside, and there are no people who wander around.He wanted to be in the city.How crispy are the biscuits in the city!He was no longer hungry, so he gave the unfinished biscuits to the rusher.

Hurry up and walk slowly, and we don't arrive at Shiliupu until noon.Shiliupu is just a small village, set up in the fields, lonely, and there is a road outside the village, leading to Huangjia Town.There is a small shop next to the entrance of the village. On the broken stone wall, there is a sign "What are you smoking? Hardmen!" There are many stones, and there are some broken horse dung in the cracks between the stones on the road.On the side of the road, there is a river embankment that seems to be piled up with stones, and there are piles of chaff and millstones on the embankment.Some dogs crawled outside the door, while others stood with one or two children, all staring at them with their fingers in their mouths.There is little paint on the doors, the roofs of the houses are all flat, and the walls are mostly piled up of stones.There are no eye-catching colors, except that there are four red happy characters pasted on the door stack of a family.There was no sound, Tianci only heard a rooster crow or two; outside the door there was an old man basking in the sun, holding a long pipe in his mouth and making no sound.Everywhere is so dilapidated, poor, and silent, as if waiting for some wind to blow the whole village away.Even the trees are obviously very poor. The bark on the trunks is often eaten by donkeys, making them look like bald spots.There was a shallow pit beside the road. There was not much water in the pit, and it was frozen into a layer of black ice. There were many small broken bricks on the ice.Ji's house is on the right side of the pit, and several huts are hidden beside an old locust tree, and there are some chickens and a duck under the tree.The donkey ran to the pit, and the children began to follow. The adults also recognized Mama Ji. Everyone greeted her affectionately, but they all looked at Tianci.He got off the donkey, and the driver handed him the bag of snacks.He stood on the edge of the pit and looked at everyone, and everyone looked at him, all obviously stupid, like dogs from neighboring villages meeting each other and staring at each other.

The old man came out.He is over seventy years old, and his teeth are still very straight; his ears are a little heavy, and his eyes are so energetic. If he looks around, he is afraid that someone will speak to him.A short blue cotton-padded jacket with no knots, tied up with a belt, with dry, copper-purple wrinkles on the upper part of the bare chest.The back is slightly bent. "Father!" Mother Ji shouted loudly. "Hey! Hey!" The old man laughed stunnedly, and there were tears in his eyes that were not for crying. "Hey! I'm back! Good!" "This is Fuguan," Ji Ma shouted.

"Hey! The young master is here, good! Hey, come in! You are so tall!" Tianci thought the old man was cute, so he passed the snack bag over, but couldn't think of anything to say. "The snacks I bought for you, Dad!" Mama Ji teased Dad. "Hey, good! Good! Ah!" Father had nothing to say, half of his tears fell down. "Hey, young master, you still miss me, hey, good! Come in!" Ji's mother's man also came out, followed by three children.He is about forty years old, tall, pockmarked, and silent.The three children were all with disheveled hair and wearing short jackets, and two of them had their dicks exposed through the seams of their trousers.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a large pile of dung; beside the dung pile stood a woman who was older than Ji's mother, but she was a little aunt. "Sister-in-law is back? Hurry up and go inside!" She hurried to lift the thick straw curtain of the north room.The neighbors also came into the yard and stood in front of the dung pile to watch.Dad laughed and shouted: "Come in and sit down! Come in!" No one moved.Dad said again: "If you don't come in, go!" Everyone still didn't move. The room is one light and two dark, very low and very dark, on the ground, there is a paper niche for the God of Wealth in the middle.Mama Ji asked Tianci to go to the east room. There was a big kang with eaves and a long board on the gable wall. On the board was a pot of stick noodles, like some thick shoe soles.Tianci couldn't find a chair, so he had to sit on the edge of the Kang.There was a lot of bedbug blood on the wall, and Zhang Xunhei's New Year painting - "Evil Tiger Village", where he met Huang Tianba again.Looking at the old painting—a bug smeared on Tianba's knife—he was at a loss again.Unexpectedly, there are such people in the world. The old man turned around between the kang and the board table: "What do you give the young master, hey? Boss, cook some chickens first!" The boss went out to look for chickens before saying anything.The three children thought that grandpa was crazy, and asked their mother in a low voice: "Mom! Mom! Why does grandpa want to cook chicken? Aren't the chickens reserved for sale?" Mom shook them with her sleeve.Grandpa didn't hear it but saw it, thinking that the children wanted to eat: "Hey, eat pancakes! Take them and eat them! If you are poor, eat pancakes if you have them. Grandpa can't starve the children! Eat them!" One of them took A piece of pancake, still looking at Godsend.Ji's mother was already on the kang: "Father, you can eat some snacks, the young master bought you a snack!" Dad smiled again: "Hey, I will eat! I will eat! The young master still misses me! Ever since your mother died In 2010, I have never eaten a big piece of pastry! What year and month! Hey, good!" He didn't do anything, but looked for Erniang Ji: "Damn, go boil the water." Aunt Ji saw that her sister-in-law was wearing The blue cloth jacket on the head is still running along the edge of the green fake satin, which makes you look dumbfounded.Hearing her father shouting, she thought of entertaining guests. "Niuzi!" Dad took out five coppers from under the kang mat: "Run, go to a small shop and buy two packs of Gaomoer, Gao! Hey, in the early years, there was no time when there was no tea at home!" He sat on the kang Along the way, froze up. "Father, the second brother still doesn't believe me?" Mama Ji asked. Dad shook his head.Mama Ji's uncle is a carpenter, since he was taken away by the soldier Raff, there has been no news.My aunt is very good, but she is prone to goat horns and cannot go out to work. "What about this year's place?" "What?" Dad didn't understand.Mama Ji repeated. "Hey, land? Our a few acres of unlawful property are ruined again, and there is not even a single firewood left. The rent is well received, 80%; but once the rent is paid... hey, don't mention it! Your few dollars Ziqian, like gold, gold! But this doesn’t sound like a sentence, what’s the matter with being outside all the time? Oh, I’m so confused, I can’t think of a way!” Mama Ji didn't speak anymore. The old man wiped his beard: "Drink some water first when you come back, and eat two chickens, young master! The countryside, the bitter countryside, there is nothing to eat!" He greeted Tianci. Of the Ji family's twenty or thirty acres of land, only a few acres of low-lying land are left, and no one wants it.They rent some land to plant, but the grain is worthless! Tianci listened and watched, but he didn't understand.At home, Dad always talked about money, hundreds and thousands; here, there are five copper coins under the mat!There is nothing here, chickens are for sale!He felt in his pocket, and there was more than one dollar.He fumbled with the piece of cash for a long time; took it out, and slid along the bright edge of the kang, looking at Mama Ji, "Give it to the old man?" The old man's eyes became brighter, and his voice became even louder: "Hey, take it, young master! You've already bought me some snacks! I can't take this money! A man surnamed Ji has been arrogant all his life, who is called—hey, Who knows what's going on? If you keep it, I will pick you up, I'm a puppy!" Dad shouted outside: "I haven't got the tea yet, what's the matter?" Tianci was even more inexplicable.These people are poor, cute, and arrogant; they are not like people in the city who are open to money.But they are poor, why?Who knows what's going on here?He looked at Huang Tianba on the wall again, and wiped a line of bug blood on the knife.
