Jiang Ming's grandfather, as a proletariat with strong roots, divided three rooms in the most prosperous East Street in Liao County after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and planned to live in one room for himself, one for the two sons, but the two sons relied on their father's composition to be too good, one entered the railway and became the iron boss, and the public gave him a house, and the other entered the military factory, and lived in an air-raid shelter for the first three years, and no one used this house at home, but Jiang Ming looked at the house in front of him, and doubted very much that the uncle and his father had no money to repair the house before they ran away.

When I was a child, I didn't know anything, and when I came back to play, I still like to play with a pot full of water, no wonder the eldest brother looked like a stupid young master at that time, and then came back to live in junior high school to live in my grandfather's house, and my grandfather was finally willing to push the main house to rebuild, but the quality of the tile is really bad, and the upper house for the tile has not stepped on the bad, especially the two outside are well houses, and the yard is lower than the outside, and the family has been preparing sacks of sand for many years, and the junior high school has not been less at home for three years to fight the flood.

As long as it rains, you can see the eldest brother and his hard-working figure, and in the hall with a relieved face to watch the two grandsons being photographed by the rain into soup chickens, a grandfather who has grandchildren growing up in my family, Jiang Ming also figured out the bad taste of the grandfather Later, Jiang Ming also figured it out, the old man had two dollars in his hand and was reluctant to build a house, afraid that which child would not be able to take out the money himself, so he would last until the demolition for a year, and after the demolition, he would keep a set for his own residence, and the rest was distributed to the two grandchildren, Jiang Ming was the old and the young and had an extra set, as for the aunt and eldest sister who had difficulties, they could find their grandfather, and if they wanted to divide the house and money, even if the grandfather agreed, no one could get through the grandmother's pass, and the grandmother was such a naked patriarch, the most accustomed of all the children is Jiang Ming.

After a while, the eldest brother waited outside the courtyard gate, and the eldest brother asked: I didn't climb the wall today, so honest. Neither of the two brothers took the key and complained to each other at the door.

Jiang Ming never takes the key, no one at home jumps over the wall, no one is not afraid of losing things, the old neighbors around you help you watch, see the two brothers come back and shout to enter the house to sit, hurry up and greet one by one, the elders do not know how to be polite will be beaten a small report, who chops firewood and dry coal has to take a hand, from the grandfather's generation of nearly a hundred years of neighborhood relations, there are a few brothers who are still grandfathers, even the fathers come back are also grandchildren.

Busy with work to help finish the work, Jiang Ming brother and the two went back to their yard to drink some well water to rest, and was called up by the eldest brother to go to the old Zhao's house next door to get the key, by the way borrowed some firewood to start the fire, the stove has long been extinguished, the big kang in the house is cold without thinking, directly on the coal In this era, who is willing to use alcohol blocks to start the fire, it is better to drink it with water if there is alcohol. Jiang Ming took a shortcut directly, stepped on the coal pile and went directly to the low wall between the two families, the old Zhao's yard was good, there were flowers and plants everywhere, Grandma Zhao and Grandma knew each other before they came out of the pavilion, the two old ladies were the gossip duo of the elderly women in this area, but unfortunately the aunts all married out of this alley, leaving only Grandma Zhao and the old girl to stay as a lone seedling knot.

Grandma Zhao is an old clam and a pearl, Zhao Qing, who is called aunt by generation, is three years older than herself, her nephew is older than her aunt in this era, and it is very common for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to do confinement together, Grandpa Zhao is old and has a daughter, how is Grandma Jiang Ming used to Jiang Ming, how is Grandpa Zhao used to being an old girl, playing junior is high in martial arts, to put it bluntly, it is to go home without being beaten and bullied, and she is a female streamer, this is the eldest brother gritted his teeth and said, he is the king and hegemon in the alley, and he responds to countless subordinates.

I remember that summer vacation Jiang Ming returned to his grandfather's house to escape the summer, mainly in the factory too much nursery school does not accept, saw Zhao Qing whistle and gathered more than a dozen younger brothers, after watching the Condor Hero Jiang Ming, regard Zhao Qing as a hero in the alley, and look at the Condor Shooting Aunt Zhao Qing asked Jiang Ming who he is like, when he was a child, the sulcus was flat Jiang Ming, thinking that Zhao Qing is like a hero, Hong Qigong, the leader of the beggar gang of Yi Bo Yuntian, then got the enthusiasm of the disciples of eight bags, seven bags and six bags, and after learning the dog stick method, he understood that Aunt Zhao Qing turned out to be another beggar gang leader Huang Rong, and Jiang Ming, who had greatly increased his understanding and actively became a dog, was appreciated by Zhao Qing and joined the beggar gang.

Later, Jiang Ming found the "Wu Mu Testament" treasured by his eldest brother in the treasure hunt at his uncle's house After a summer of hard work, he evolved into a nine-bag begging beast and learned the art of war, and bribed boys with bullet shells to set up a dirty clothes gang to fight against Zhao Qing's clean clothes gang, in the battle between the two sides for the public toilet in the alley, Jiang Ming was defeated by Zhao Qing's aunt's nine yin white bone claws, and after asking for help from the reclusive master was rejected by the eldest brother for unpredictable reasons, he decided not to fight martial arts and technology, and used the splash damage of the red-clothed cannon battle to kill Zhao Qing who was inspecting the public toilet in the new territory, Zhao Qing used the peerless magic lion roar at Jiang Ming's grandfather's house, Jiang Ming also understood that day that people's hearts were sinister and the situation was cold, After comprehending the grandfather's authentic dragon descending eighteen palms, he washed his hands in a golden basin and retired to the rivers and lakes.

Jumped over the courtyard wall and shouted a few times: No one, I saw Zhao Qing coming out of the back room, Zhao Qing took Zhao's grandfather's class as a statistician in the county grain depot, with short hair and a goose egg face that completely conforms to the current aesthetics, the two have not yet spoken, just see Grandma Zhao also come out, and also hold the key to Jiang Ming's house and babble: I am impatient to say a few words to you, and the introduction object is not careful.

said to Jiang Ming again: The third child is back, give you the key, lock it when you leave, and send it back to me. Jiang Ming's family is the eldest sister, and she is the third in line like the dormitory, so she hurriedly bowed down to say hello.

Zhao Qing saw that the old lady was about to start nagging again, so he took the key and pulled Jiang Ming and said: I'll go next door to see the eldest and the third. After saying that, he jumped off the wall and went to Jiang's yard, Jiang Ming saw that Grandma Zhao was going to change the direction of attack and rush to him, and hurriedly jumped over with a bundle of bud rice poles. I took the key and opened the door and entered the main room.

The eldest brother burned the hot kang, Zhao Qing took a broom to clean the house and the house, Jiang Ming had nothing to do, so he took out the sweet potatoes hanging in the basket on the beam of the house and threw them into the stove, and was trained by the eldest brother again, now they are all burning coal and no firewood, you can eat it if you are not afraid of poisoning, Jiang Ming, who knows that the eldest brother has used the topic to play a mouthful of addiction, can only admit it, who let himself think about it, Zhao Qing, who watched the two brothers fighting and making trouble, pursed his lips and smiled, this is much more interesting than being nagged by the old lady at home, brush the cauldron and add water to the cage drawer, wash a few sweet potatoes and steam them later.

After a while, the kang was hot, and the three of them took off their shoes and went to the kang, and the northerners don't look at the tall and big people, but they are all very soft, and the calves begin to burn their buttocks, and individual strongmen can also put a five-hearted cultivation immortal.

Put on the kang table with raw melon seeds and cooked sweet potatoes, make some tea and start talking nonsense, as for rummaging through the warehouse to find things tomorrow, what is the urgency of two days off. Jiang Ming picked up the sweet potato skin, it was too hot, and he didn't want to cut it with a knife, it was soulless to eat like that. Zhao Qing looked at it and took it in a hurry, tore it open and handed it back in three or two clicks, Jiang Ming always felt that the woman's hands were so magical, and his mother didn't seem to be afraid of being hot, the steamed buns that had just come out of the steamer couldn't be bubbled with his hands, Jiang Ming couldn't love to eat that hot energy, and his mouth couldn't resist it.

Eating sweet potatoes, I heard Zhao Qing and the eldest brother in the mountain, Zhao Qing said that the unit is not big and there are many leaders, and they all take themselves seriously, they are the youngest and have a low status, and the regiment that was instructed is also all kinds of dissatisfaction, and the beautiful name is to exercise you for your good, the eldest brother said that you don't complain, like me, you have eye problems and want to take over the class, relying on the young and beautiful person to be the object of no bride price, and the family is angry all day long, Zhao Qing heard this and didn't do it, don't prick my heart, I just came to your house because of my mother's nagging object, a few days ago Aunt Wang in the front yard introduced a person, my mother had to let me see how old I was after reading the photo, and I had to go on a blind date。 Jiang Ming listened to the side and nodded, and now he is going to get married at the age of twenty, and in the future, you will see that those in their thirties are still shouting long live being single.

However, the eldest brother and Jiang Ming also care about Zhao Qing, men are actually more gossipy, and the reason why they don't talk to you is just because they are not familiar enough, but the three people on the table have played from childhood to adulthood, Zhao Qing is also ruthless, and he has no scruples about what he wants to say, since graduating from the grain college, he has been on a blind date nearly 100 times, and he has seen more people than the dogs he beat when he was a child, and there is basically no match, the eldest brother also asked Zhao Qing what he liked, Zhao Qing couldn't say that he had no eyes, the two young people said that it was lively, like a decent sad spring and sad autumn, Jiang Ming actually understood.

Zhao Qing's personality is a tomboy, he didn't have enough fun and didn't want to find it, but in the current social environment, girls are all married after graduation, and it is the norm to get married after graduating from junior high school in rural areas.

The city can be better and not better, if you don't get married and don't go to school after 20, you are a social bastard in the eyes of everyone, even the atmosphere of the small city is not much better after 20 years, the older leftover girls are short in the parents, and they are basically described as Rong Mama, this society has never been tolerant of women, but Liao County is a little good, and the bride price is good, unlike some places where marriage is the same as bankruptcy.

As the firepower came up, this kang was a little hot, Jiang Ming saw that the eldest brother and Zhao Qing were going to pull again, and went down to the ground to put on their shoes and say hello to buy some wine and food, Zhao Qing knew that the two brothers were poor ghosts and wanted to pay for it, and the eldest brother stopped and said that Jiang Ming didn't need to make a small fortune, it was too ripe, there was no lie, Zhao Qing believed it, and he didn't give in, but he wanted to eat the pig's head meat and meat pieces of garlic sausage from Lao Yun's family, Jiang Ming went out to buy vegetables in response.

Walking in the alley, Jiang Ming nodded and bowed all the way, there is no way that the age is too young, and when you meet Fa Xiao, you have to make trouble for a while, which is like the future generations have nothing to do with the phone to shake people, now as long as you shout a voice, you can squat in the corner of the wall with you until midnight, and the road of not two hundred meters is half a point.

Lao Yun's cooked food truck is placed at the mouth of the alley, and there is a surname Zhang who sells tofu next to it, the cooked food of the old Yun family is said to be delicious, everyone likes to eat pig's head meat for twenty yuan, and the old Yun's meat sausage is also a must, and then the little Yun boy began to do vacuum packaging, and it is not enough to sell all day long, that is, Jiang Ming went to where to see relatives and friends, and the local products he carried were all five catties of sausages, and he didn't say anything bad about eating, and the old Yun family didn't want to be big, and the secret recipe had been in his hands to pass on the male but not the female, and the whole family was also eating and drinking by pure hand。

Carrying cooked food, carrying sausages, and weighing half a catty of salt peanuts, after thinking about it, he bought three grids of tofu, and wrapped it in oil paper with Lao Yun's family without a plate, Jiang Ming walked back.

When he got home, Zhao Qing took the things and clicked and cut them, the eldest brother had to drink some, the two brothers went into the left wing room and turned the sorghum small sorghum that the grandfather hid and turned it out to make a pot, and the eldest brother asked Jiang Ming to mix some wine before the grandfather came back, Jiang Ming of course agreed, anyway, in the eyes of the grandparents, the eldest brother is a habitual offender, and the little grandson is a person who can't drink.

The kang was too hot to take three benches and sit and drink, pour three glasses of liquor, northerners and men and women can drink some, eat pig's head meat and chew peanuts, eat salty and then dig a piece of tofu and send it to the mouth, the three people in the house began to talk nonsense, the eldest brother said the bitterness in his heart with wine, if his eyes are good, he wants to be a soldier not a successor, or he can also fight the flood and be a hero.

Zhao Qing said that he wanted to stay in school and become a teacher in a big city, but his parents were scared of the three-year famine, and felt that working in the grain depot at least he would not have to worry about eating and drinking in his life. He told his eldest brother that you will drive a BMW and take a Mercedes-Benz in the future, and told Zhao Qing to be careful of the little white face in the future, the man is good-looking and useless, he will only eat soft rice, no one knows the truth about what he said, and the person who said it said was covered with clouds and mountains, and people were also drunk and hazy.

As he spoke, Jiang Ming was poured half a glass of liquor into him by the unscrupulous eldest brother, and fell asleep on the kang, and heard the eldest brother say in a daze: I have long wanted to find a chance to clean him up, and I have been less and less like a younger brother recently.

I heard Zhao Qing's heroic laughter again, and thought to myself, big brother, I remember you, but the wine is hot and warm, and it is too comfortable to wait for me to get up and worry about you.

When Jiang Ming woke up, it was almost night, looked around and cleaned up the house, it could only be done by Zhao Qing, the two brothers had to be humble to wash the dishes several times, put on shoes and entered the yard, the eldest brother rummaged in the side rooms on both sides, saw Jiang Ming get up and made fun of a few words, Jiang Ming was unconvinced and said that whoever has the kung fu to come to the toilet first will lose, and the eldest brother who has opened the light knows that he is not the opponent who diverts his words, so he asked Jiang Ming to take off his clothes and work quickly.

Turned over the two wings, mainly the wood that could be used, the pine recipe picked a dozen pieces, and a few bundles of barbed wire, Jiang Ming is a master who can talk and do nothing, the eldest brother is the opposite, the brain is not enough but the hands are skillful, the two brothers are also complementary, and find out the handsaw chisel carpentry tools, Jiang Ming commanded the eldest brother to make the dining car, in fact, it is clear that the eldest brother can do it himself, but Jiang Ming, who has a lot of, took out the face of the contractor to find fault and play. The main reason is that the money in the pocket has to do the right thing and can't be spent, and the two days off are too short and there is no place to play.

Two days of vacation, good food and drink for the eldest brother, the small courtyard can see the eldest brother sweating after being busy, next to a few unpainted cart shelves, Jiang Ming found a chair to sit on the back of the chair, with a cigarette in his mouth and a big teapot in his hand to point, if he wants to help, he can't help it, since he sawed a short square, he was driven away by the eldest brother as a disability, in fact, it was really not intentional, the hand is obedient but the saw is disobedient, Jiang Ming, who has a crippled hand, has become a mouth cannon party in the eyes of the eldest brother.

Jiang Ming is not idle, the phone directs relatives and friends to prepare for business and trade, it is impossible to spend money to buy, they are all borrowed in their respective factories, borrowed and not repaid, relying on the factory to eat the factory is normal, the leaders resell and resell equipment for money to spend, the workers take some raw materials to make something for themselves, everyone is safe, there is nothing wrong with taking the factory as their home, and they are all laid off after a few years, and they can't take advantage of it, they can't all be cheap corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Jiang Ming is at ease.

Two days is not long, not short, the eldest brother has not finished it, Jiang Ming has to go back to class, if it weren't for the eldest brother's continuous coughing, Jiang Ming, who used the eldest brother as a donkey, almost forgot that the eldest brother would eat, and reluctantly said goodbye to the ten old man's tickets he left, mainly to buy some materials and meal money for the eldest brother.

The extravagant ride a donkey upside down, that is, a tricycle that people ride behind, individual cattle people also add an engine, no need to kick twice to automatically ignite the uphill special, downhill to extinguish or do not cost fuel, Jiang Ming let the eldest brother do this, generally do small business to pull goods, there are also people sitting but few, the small county town is so big, every family has a car, of course, a bicycle, or rely on the eleventh road, where to go is not far.

Jiang Ming, who didn't get up in the morning and couldn't catch up with the first class anyway, told the master to ride slowly and not in a hurry, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar city, the highest in the city is the county government building just passed by, a total of only seven floors and no elevator, two or three floors on the street abound, behind are large bungalows, every family has a chimney facing the sky, and the smoke emitted by the cooking point can fill the whole city.

Out of the East Street Benxi Street Ancient Building, said what was the former dynasty to build the Shuangwang Mansion left a gatehouse, the others were broken four old stripped away, grandfather's anti-door shaft of the big bluestone is also demolished here, later generations also built a museum said that the local has a long cultural heritage, the locals know that it is fooling people, back then this is not to escape the famine is to be distributed, the folk customs are a mess, ten years ago caught a thief or something without trial, a pickaxe to the shovel rake down, which barren meadow does not bury people, the surrounding roadblocks and robberies a Liao County accent directly released, all know that this ghost place has no king law, every family has long and short guns, extreme and cannons。

Since the country has completely banned guns, the younger generations have handed it over, and the air guns in their hands are all bird-fighting, in order to leave them for children to play. Grandpa's generation hasn't hidden much, and there is no way for the police to catch it, anyway, a group of old men, in the end, they have to send An An'an back, Jiang Ming remembered that when Fa Xiao his grandfather died, he got out of the waste kang hole and covered three bullets in a box, and he didn't dare to leave it for 10 years, but when he was secretly buried, his father magically took out a mirror box as a burial.

Jiang Ming, who went home after helping, asked his father if his grandfather had hidden a gun, and Jiang Ming still remembers his father's weird smile and words: Guess what.
