Chapter 4: The Man (2)

"It's okay if you don't leave, stand here and don't move!" Liu Zhigao left his flat shoulder and trotted over to Zhao Chenghai.

"Zhao Zhenhua, you little brute, if I don't kill you today, I won't be your father! If you don't have the pot grass, I'll see if you will eat raw rice and raw rice in the future!" Zhao Chenghai's flat pole waved and shouted at the oncoming Liu Zhigao: "You go away, don't worry about my family!"

Liu Zhigao stretched out his hands and stopped in front of Zhao Chenghai, and persuaded: "Big cousin, extinguish the fire, Huazi is young and ignorant, I already said him just now." The child is not bad, you realize the mistake, don't be impulsive......"

"Get out of the way, I have to kill this loser today!" Zhao Chenghai was like a mad tiger, jumping into the peanut field on the side, preparing to bypass Liu Zhigao's interception.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Zhigao jumped up from the head of the high ridge, condescendingly, threw Zhao Chenghai into the peanut field, rolled over, and clasped his waist with both hands.

Zhao Chenghai was hugged tightly, he couldn't struggle, and yelled with blood-red eyes: "Let go of me, Zhigao, let go of me, if you don't let go, I'll turn my face!"

Liu Zhigao is recognized as a strong man in the village, although he is not too tall, but he has a strong body and sharp hands and feet. Zhao Chenghai was hugged by his waist and it was difficult to break free.

"I can't let go of your fart!" Liu Zhigao strengthened his arms, clamped Zhao Chenghai and shouted at Zhao Zhenhua: "Huazi, you don't run yet, wait for your father to break your legs!"

Zhao Zhenhua saw his father's fierce appearance of eating people, but he was still scared after all, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and ran!

Zhao Chenghai saw his son run away with a smoke, and seemed to have face and dignity, and pretended to struggle a few times, and finally stopped yelling and writhing.

Liu Zhigao let go of his hand, wiped the sweat on his head, pulled Zhao Chenghai to sit down on the ridge, and comforted: "Big cousin, Huazi has just come down from school, just like a calf, you have to take it easy, brush his hair, and train slowly." If you want to beat and kill at every turn, don't push the child to rush and make an accident. ”

Zhao Chenghai was panting, his chest was heaving, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Liu Zhigao took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to Zhao Chenghai.

Zhao Chenghai took the cigarette and took several puffs, the ups and downs of his chest gradually calmed down, shook his head, and sighed: "Brother, I also didn't cultivate in my previous life, and I raised this strong seed, which is embarrassing!"

Liu Zhigao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he is a handsome seed or a handsome seed, it's my eldest cousin's seed! Besides, when he was young, he didn't have a temper at all, isn't that a bad seed, and he can still be a man in the future? You rest, I'll talk to Huazi again!"

Zhao Chenghai, who was sulking, couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Thank you, brother!"

Relieved, Zhao Chenghai can naturally understand. Fortunately, Liu Zhigao is here, otherwise, he will definitely have to fight with his son, maybe a mistake will really hurt his son. Or maybe the son can't think about it for a while, looking for death and life, and causing some tragedy.

……

Zhao Zhenhua ran two ridges and stopped running. He felt that the world was so big that he had nowhere to go.

What if you run away now and come home at night? Aren't you going to face Daddy's bull's eyes?

If you run away today, what will you do tomorrow? What will you do the day after tomorrow?

If you don't get admitted to college, you will live to the end of your life, and you don't even want to run out of this poor mountain village!

In this life, I can only be like my father, guarding a few acres of my own land, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and digging in the soil.

Alas, I knew that I couldn't run out, so why bother with the ten-year cold window at the beginning?

Standing on the field, Zhao Zhenhua raised his eyes and looked around, quite a little bit of a daze when he drew his sword and looked around, and for a while, he didn't know where to go.

Liu Zhigao walked from behind, patted Zhenhua on the shoulder, and said, "Come with me, Huazi." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Zhao Zhenhua.

"Hehe, the six grains in your house are burned, and the ones in my field are still there. Your third aunt also brought a pair of flat ropes in the field, let's go, go and help me pick the straw, I heard that it will rain the day after tomorrow, and I can't let the straw rot in the ground. Liu Zhigao said.

"Okay, let's go. Zhao Zhenhua nodded. Anyway, there's nowhere to go now, so let's mix up the time.

Liu Zhigao also has more than one acre of corn land, all of which are early corn planted in spring, and the corn cobs have already been picked and the straw is spread on the ground to dry.

Zhigao's wife, Xia Lianfeng, was holding a straw fork, gathering the corn stalks into small bundles and bundling them, and then tying them up with "grass wrappers".

Seeing Zhao Zhenhua coming over, Lian Feng stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Huazi, your father has a bad temper, scold you a few words, don't talk back." As the saying goes, if it doesn't rain, it's a blue sky, and if it's unreasonable, it's a parent. He is your father, and you are not ashamed to be slapped twice. ”

The scene where Zhao Chenghai went crazy just now, even Feng saw it from afar, so he persuaded Zhao Zhenhua.

"I know the third aunt. Zhao Zhenhua nodded.

Liu Zhigao straightened the rope on the ground, put bundles of corn stalks on it, tied a load, and waited for Zhao Zhenhua.

Zhao Zhenhua also packed up a load of straw, got up at the same time as Liu Zhigao, and walked towards the village.

The corn stalks that have dried up are not very heavy, but the pile is large.

Zhao Zhenhua moved forward against the wind, being blown staggered, his feet floating, and his waist was twisted like a twist.

Liu Zhi is taller and taller, walking in front of Zhao Zhenhua, step by step, landing with a bang, like a Shaolin monk squatting on TV, as steady as Mount Tai.

It seemed that there were eyes on the back of the buttocks, and Liu Zhigao said as he walked: "Huazi, the burden is picked out, hold it steady, keep up!"

"Senior Master, I haven't fallen behind!" Zhao Zhenhua said with a pout.

"Okay, farmer, you have to have this breath!" Liu Zhigao smiled, threw off his arms, and quickened his pace.

Zhao Zhenhua gritted his teeth and stumbled to follow, not falling a step.

A load of straw was carried back to the door, and the two drew ropes, carried the flat burden, and walked side by side to the field, starting another cycle.

……

At half past four in the afternoon, all the corn stalks in Liu Zhigao's field were finally picked home.

Although Zhao Zhenhua carried less each burden, he kept up with it one trip at a time, and he didn't fall behind in the whole process. It's just that he, who has fine skin and tender meat, is doing such heavy work for the first time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little unbearable, his legs are sore, and his shoulders are scorching.

Liu Zhigao took a sip of cold boiled water, and together with Lian Feng, he put the straw under his threshing floor and covered his head with straw, which was done.

Zhao Zhenhua had nothing to do, so he helped on the side. When it was finished, it was only half past five, and it was still early before dark.

Zhao Zhenhua hesitated for a moment and said to Liu Zhigao: "Senior Master, I'm ...... Went back. ”

"What are you going to do when you go back?" Liu Zhigao smiled, pulled Zhao Zhenhua to sit down on the stone pier in front of the door, and said, "Don't go, let's have a drink in the evening." ”

Lian Feng also packed up the farm tools and walked back to the house, and said with a smile: "I'll cook the vegetables, Huazi will help us work today, we should take care of the food." ”

Zhao Zhenhua simply sat down cheekily and was not polite.

Liu Zhigao took out another cigarette and threw one to Zhao Zhenhua.

Zhao Zhenhua took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. The third master of Gao is right, the man who farms faces the loess with his back to the sky all his life, and he doesn't even smoke, what fun is there?

Halfway through a cigarette, a slow guy walked in front of the door, it was Lan Yushu from Qiancun. Although it is not in a natural village, Lan Yushu also belongs to the Dongwan Brigade.

In the Dongwan Brigade at that time, Lan Yushu was also an intellectual, and like Liu Zhigao, he was a junior high school graduate. Lan Yushu is a white-faced man, he doesn't have Liu Zhigao's good figure, he is not very diligent, he does things slowly, but he can speak well and has a strong mouth.

Rural people like to give others nicknames, combined with Lan Yushu's water snake waist and the characteristics of moving his mouth but not his hands, he was given a nickname: Tugong Snake. The Tugong snake is extremely venomous, common in the countryside, but it is not aggressive, and its characteristic is that it is "diligent in mouth and lazy in body", if you don't provoke it, it is too lazy to bite you.

The people in the countryside are all relatives, and according to their generation, Zhao Zhenhua also has to call Lan Yushu his cousin.

Seeing Lan Yushu coming over, Zhao Zhenhua nodded and greeted, "Where did Uncle Lan come from?"

"Oh, I'm just going to go around. Lan Yushu said with a smile.

Liu Zhigao glanced at Lan Yushu and said to Zhao Zhenhua: "This coward, what are you doing with him?"

Zhao Zhenhua sneered, unable to pick up the stubble.

Lan Yushu also squinted at Liu Zhigao and said, "I said how did you talk in the third year of high school? Who is a coward?"

Liu Zhigao sneered: "I'll just say that you are a coward, what's the matter?"

Lan Yushu raised his hand and pointed at Liu Zhigao, glared and said, "I just don't accept it today, senior high, do you have the ability to ask me to take one?"

"Okay, I'll pack you up today. Don't go, I'll go back to the house and get the guy!" Liu Zhigao stood up, glared at Lan Yushu, and turned around to go back to the house.

"Senior high, you really think I'm afraid of you, just bring the guy!" Lan Yushu rolled up his sleeves.

Zhao Zhenhua stood aside and watched, a little unable to turn around. What kind of hatred do these two people have, they will fight if they don't agree, and they will move guys?
