Chapter 1: Introduction

Next Chapter

There were two house sparrows in the tree, and one said to the other, "Go down that way, and see that your sweater is crowded." The other said, "Look at that squeaky one, it's not going to be done!"

It may seem like a joke about sparrows like this, but it's funny to tell it in dialect, and those who understand it will laugh at it. !

Such an opening is meaningless for the content of this novel, but I just want to express the unique charm of the following dialect, dialect is a kind of inheritance, but also a kind of culture, but also a kind of memory, other soil, there is the kind of hardness of other soil, but also contains the meaning that Mandarin cannot interpret.

In the dialects of various places, there are many kinds of names for sparrows, such as "house finch", "house qiaoer", "hemp kidnapper", "old family egg", "old family thief", etc., in the Datong area of North China, we are used to calling "house baba bird"

The largest number of birds in the world should be the "Jiaba Finch", in the land of China, "Jiaba Finch" was once known as one of the four evils, although it was later rehabilitated, but also went through tribulations! Slingshots, muskets, stones, broken basket traps and natural enemies in the face of nature, but our "Jiaba Finch" still survived tenaciously and freely!

In a fable of a bird learning to nest, the "house finch child" has a natural inertia, parasitic on the cracks of the wall and under the eaves. In another story of Turgenev's "Sparrow", the "house farrow" is transformed into courage and maternal love, and confronts the hunter's vicious dog in order to protect the young bird that falls out of the nest.

Just like the Chinese living in the land of China, we have also paid a heavy price for our isolation and isolation, inertia, complacency, and even bullying by others. But we are also striving for the rise of China, and we are constantly striving for self-improvement!

The life of the little people of the common people is like this, as described in Li Bai's poem:

"How, empty city sparrows, what a hurry. Ben and the wrens, not with the phoenix clan. ”

Our "Jiaba Bird" has a natural inertia and cowardice in his bones, but he has a craft that everyone "respects", wandering between the neighbors and the big city!

The autumn of Yanbei is particularly cool, close to the Mid-Autumn Festival without the night of insects, it is also extraordinarily quiet, Jiang Er's nightlife on weekdays in addition to two taels of wine, a bag of peanuts, there is no other fun, for a thirty-year-old person, obviously the life of the elderly came too early!

Today is an exception, although Guo Yufen'er's embrace is not a good thing, but it makes Jiang Er, who is boring and a little bachelor in the eyes of others, inexplicably impulsive!

Jiang Er, who had been tossing for half an hour, finally became honest and panted and lay on Yu Fen'er's belly! A widow a few years older than Jiang Er made Jiang Er completely understand that she had lived in vain for more than 30 years, and it turned out that women were like this.

Jiang Er, the little gentleman who is famous for ten miles away from the countryside, was a little panicked again, although he was still reminiscing about the clouds and rain with Yufen just now, but he was afraid that this woman would leak his little privacy, so he said to the little widow: "Yufen'er, listen to Ne, you can't talk nonsense everywhere, or you will really finish begging!"

This little widow named Guo Yufen glanced at Jiang Er: "What's the matter? Just you and your mother? Who doesn't know that you are a dog licking oil?"

"What?!" Jiang Er panicked, stood up rubbly, and pushed down Yu Fen'er's little belly with his knees, Fen'er grinned in pain and snorted. In the past, he was a single, and he was afraid of people's jokes, and he talked about which little daughter-in-law and which widow he slept with every day with other descendants in Shili Eight Villages. In fact, that's all nonsense, Guo Yufen'er is her first time.

Guo Yufen'er's stomach hurt because she was pushed down by Jiang Er's knee. jumped and kicked Jiang Er's egg root all of a sudden, shouting: "It hurts the old lady to death!"

Jiang Er was still regretting his braggart skills, and suddenly felt a heart-scratching pain from the egg root, and the heart-scratching pain instantly spread to his brain, and in the quiet night, Jiang Er's wolf-like roar came out, and the widow's big black haired son heard the movement, and kept screaming, and then the black tiger of Jin Leizi's house next door to the widow also kept screaming, and after a while, the whole village of beasts screamed! The dark village lit up three or five lights, and after a while, seven or eight lights were also turned on, and Jin Leizi's roar came out: "What's wrong! Mother, what's the matter! I'm still in the bandits, so I can't sleep!"

Jiang Er roared in pain, and felt that her brain was buzzing, her eyes rolled, and she fell straight back on the kang, trembling, Yu Fen'er panicked, she knew how hard she had used this foot, and she didn't have to worry about it, seeing Jiang Er's eyes roll, foaming at the mouth, and falling on the kang like an electric shock.

On the night of the half moon, it was slightly bright, and the slightly noisy night came Fen'er's panicked voice: "Dead!" This sound, overshadowed the barking of dogs in the whole village, and then a dozen, forty or fifty lights turned on, and then the small village boiled, it seems that the village of Waea, which has been peaceful, will be prosperous for a while in the future!

Although the village is small, it may have existed for a long, long time! Open the general history of China, in the historical chapter of the Liaojin period, you can find so few interpretations in a certain corner! Although I don't know if the eaves are this eaves, the people in charge of the village have always believed that it is the history of the real Eaves Village!

The ancestors of Waguan Village have been burning kilns, tile pots, jars, and water tanks for generations. Until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed into a building materials factory for firing refractory building materials. Although the whole Yanzhou coal is a leading enterprise, the local people still rely on the craftsmanship left by their ancestors to eat!

There are always some people who live differently from others, and our Jiang Er cannot represent all the masses, and there are very few people who are "in the same stream" as Jiang Er! Although many people despise Jiang Er's sloppy and sloppy life, there are always a few people who are willing to mix with Jiang Er's half-grown descendants in the eyes of Jiang Er. is to buy a pound of bags of wine with the few cents he has on his body and share them with these half-grown offspring, and the "benevolence" in the eyes of the old man is to take in those who are more pitiful than him.

The sea came to see Jiang Er early in the morning with the sheep eggs from Li Qi'er's house, pushed open the door of Jiang Er's house, which is rare in the village, and shouted, "Ergang, Ergang, I have come to see you!" The tone was an octave higher, for fear that the whole village would not hear it! Before the person entered the inner room, a broom pimple flew out of the inner room!

"Give me less wow, what about me, don't you see why you're wrinkled" Jiang Er's shout was slightly angry!

The sea dodged the broom, and when he heard it, Jiang Er was not joking this time, he hurriedly lowered his voice a lot, and walked to the back room with a smile: "Ergang, don't don't, didn't you come here to target you?"

The sea entered the back room, although Jiang Er was paralyzed against the edge of the bed on the kang, but his complexion was not bad, not like the people in the village talked about, becoming a eunuch or something! "Ergang has a good complexion!

Jiang Er looked at a large lump of white sheep eggs and asked the sea: "Li Qi'er is a sheep?"

"Didn't Li Qi'er hear about you? It just so happens that there are still a few gongs at home to deal with, let me give this to you and let you make up for it." ”

"What are you making up, and you don't ask for anything, so you just worry about it!" Jiang Er patted the edge of the kang and motioned for the sea to sit!

The sea put the sheep eggs on the stove and sat down next to the edge of the kang: "Ergang, tell you righteous words, Li Fu wants to trouble you, said that he wants to call the police, accuse you of harming her sister-in-law, and the old people in the village stopped him!

Jiang Shuang shuddered slightly, but quickly covered up the past, and pretended to be calm and said: "Sue wow, Gang is afraid to beg him, what does my relationship with Yufen'er have to do with him!

"But Guo Yufen'er's gray monkey said that you were a scourge to her, and he didn't agree, so he kicked your egg!"

Jiang Er was actually in Guo Yufen'er's house, and he vaguely heard Yufen'er's words in a daze, and now he confirmed it from the mouth of the sea, and he was angry in his heart.

"This, I'm afraid to beg him, what's the matter, report it, Wow, Gang also has a mouth!" Then this one took out a dozen yuan from his pocket, put it on the edge of the kang and said to the sea, "Go buy some wine, call Jiang Ping, and bake the sheep eggs in a while, and then drink!"

The sea didn't have any money, so he answered, "Hey, okay, the second post will slow down first, and Ne will call them to come over at noon, wow, no one in the shop will take care of it, Ne will go over first, come over at noon!" The sea got up and walked out of the house. Although Jiang Er's father is a capable second house, but he left early, only leaving Jiang Er with a poor family business, Jiang Er is a big descendant, and he will not take care of the house, and now he doesn't even have a decent courtyard wall, and he looked at a bunch of second bosses at the door of Haiying's shop, pointing at Jiang Er.

When the second boss saw the sea coming out, they waved at the sea from afar and motioned for the sea to come over! The sea knew what they wanted to inquire, so they ignored the group of second bosses, and turned around and went to their own repair shop with their hands behind their backs!
