Chapter 267: The Woman in White
The two ladies stroked their chests with their hands, and the cart entered the house. Dad is building a pot on the other side of the wall, this is the big pot used by relatives and friends to eat on the day of marriage, no matter how difficult the conditions are, marriage is a lifelong event, and the pot dishes must be boiled for relatives and friends to eat. When he saw him coming back, he said, "It's so grinding to catch a set, and it's so late to come back, isn't it just for you to buy some vermicelli seasoning? It's really better for me to go by myself, and you can wait at home to be a young master in the future. It's not a rich man, wandering around the street or something. ”
"That is a mess? The little train in Tangshan, unlucky [coal] miles, lost two cents, and almost beat them up. The two girls pretended to be pitiful, and at the same time peeked at their father's reaction.
As soon as my father heard that something was wrong, he immediately put down the brick knife and came over and asked eagerly, "What's the matter? Why did you lose your money? and you almost got beaten?"
"I met my past classmates at the market today, and you also know the second monk Zhang Er in Zhangzhuang on the edge of the city, and his second uncle is now the director of the Revolutionary Committee. He had to ask me for two cents to buy a pig's trotter to eat. Five cents a pound of meat can buy almost half a pound. I was reluctant to give it to him, and he said he would beat me if he didn't give it. The two girls began to backslit the words they had made.
"Silly boy, we can't afford to provoke the second monk, as long as you don't beat him, give it to him. If he doesn't get into the bandits, he beats you and has to rob you of your money, then it will be even more dung in the green onion field, not counting [garlic]. He didn't beat you up later, did he?" asked Dad with concern.
"I didn't hit it, I just kicked the car several times, and I felt distressed for a long time. You said that the car was really kicked and broken, and the county didn't sell it for another part, and it cost more money, so it was really better to kick me a few miles. ”
"Fart! Things are dead things for people to use, what is the use of people lying down and there are no things to ask for? everything will be fine if you have a life, you will have it. As long as you're okay, nothing else matters. Dad came over and looked the two girls up and down.
The two girls were snickering for a while, and finally Dad didn't delve into the matter of these two cents, and the two of them unloaded things from the car, and Dad was still nagging: "Go back to the market and avoid them, we can't afford to hide." As the saying goes, 'the poor don't fight the rich, the rich don't fight the officials' arms can't twist the thighs, and the gang will have to be retributed sooner or later, and being arrogant is not a matter of not retribution......
The second lady knew that her father was also distressed about the two cents, so she had no choice but to babble and curse to find a balance in her heart. Spiritually victorious, spiritually comforted. When I was a child, I read Mr. Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" to criticize the numbness of the Chinese people and the spiritual victory method. But if you let this lowest-level disadvantaged group go to the director of the Revolutionary Committee, who is in great power, to seek justice? That is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg and making him depressed?
A few words of chatter, a spiritual victory is also a comfort. Sometimes spiritual victory is also a good thing, at least less depressing.
The two girls hurriedly went back to the house to wash their faces, and finally put the hanging back in their stomachs, but they didn't expect to deceive their father so easily. In the past, because I spent an extra five cents to buy sour jujube noodles, I almost didn't let my father beat me half to death. But this time, my father not only didn't blame but also persuaded him for a long time, which was really strange, and he couldn't get ten or eight yuan a year.
Could it be that he lied perfectly, or did Dad really care too much about himself? Maybe there's a reason for that. The two girls thought.
"Dad, I'll go to Nanwa, you can cook and eat by yourself. "The two ladies went to see Xiao'e so anxiously that they didn't care about having lunch.
Dad looked up at the sky and said, "Forget it, let's go another day, you see that the sky is coming up, and if it rains, it will be troublesome." ”
"It's okay, I'll ride fast, and you'll be there in a while. He insisted on going, and he couldn't wait to see Xiao'e immediately.
Dad couldn't stop him and said, "Then you bring a raincoat, two days ago, I picked a few big pumpkins behind the house, you put them in your pocket, and bring them to Xiao'e's family." Our family can't eat either, so let his family eat less food. ”
"Okay, I'll put it on. The two girls quickly packed the pumpkins, took the raincoats and rode out of the village.
The sky was gloomy and the wind was not small, and the two girls happened to be in the top wind, and it was a little laborious to ride the bike. In order to see Xiao'e as soon as possible, and to save some energy, he was afraid of rain, so he still took the shortcut with a small bridge.
The rain still rumbled down, and the two girls were drenched by the rain, and the raincoats on their bodies were blown up, and the rain was all poured on their bodies. The soil here is a clayey soil, and if it rains a little, the shoes are covered with mud. I can't pull out my feet, let alone ride a bike. The wheels of his bike were all covered in mud. The mud rings are tightly stuffed, and they can only be pushed by playing with a wooden stick.
The two girls hunched on a half-pocket of big pumpkins, and all of them were as big as small pots. There are seven or eight who are also heavy, and they can't take care of the cart after taking care of the pumpkin, and the rain is embarrassing for the sophomores. Just when he was anxious and at a loss, the car behind him suddenly lightened a lot, and he couldn't help but turn his head to see that there was a woman in white behind him. The hair was unkempt and rained, and the locks were all attached to the face, and I couldn't see the face clearly.
The woman bent down to push the car for him, he was also rained and couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't see who the person behind was clearly, he knew or didn't know and could only say thank you, the woman said that they all ran into a village, can you take a hand, you're welcome. He bent over and pushed the cart forward with both hands, and as long as he walked through this mud pond, there was no clear way to cross the bridge in front of him. There is no obvious road, it is all grass, as long as the car walks on the grass, there will not be so much mud on it, and the wheels of the car will not be stuck in the mud.
As he walked through the dirt road in the wind and rain, he let out a sigh of relief, and finally came. Without the help of others, it would be impossible for me to walk through such a difficult place. Anyway, he had to thank the people, but when he turned around, there was still a figure there? What kind of woman in white was there in the wilderness and rainstorm?
The two girls couldn't help but shudder, my God? Could it be a ghost in the middle of the day? He still had to look for something else, turned around and rode on the car and ran, not even daring to turn around. As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he went to Nanwa Village.
When I arrived at Xiao'e's house, the rain was still falling, so I threw the car into the yard and plunged into the house. Xiao'e and her mother had just served the meal and were ready to eat, and when they saw the two girls coming in such a heavy rain, they were shocked and their faces were pale. Hurriedly settled the two girls and sat down, and asked why it was raining so hard. The two girls were even scared and rained at this time, and their faces were pale and scary, and they were shaking. I can't say a complete sentence.
Xiao Eniang was also panicked when she saw it, so she said you go and lead him to your house, wipe his body and change into dry clothes. There is still a little red tree at home, and then cut a little ginger shreds, make a bowl of water to warm up the body, and eat for a while. Seeing this, Xiao'e was nervous and hurried, and found her clothes and pants and asked him to put them on before him.
Although the clothes don't fit well, they don't care so much. Xiao'e saw the two girls like that and said distressedly: "Look at you, what's the matter." If it rains so hard, can't you do it another day? What are you getting drenched in? It's no wonder if you don't catch a cold. As he spoke, he hugged the two girls in his arms and whispered, "Come here, warm up here for a while." ”
He was stuck in Xiao'e's arms, his head was in the middle of the two "peaks", he heard Xiao'e's heartbeat and felt the infinite warmth of her body, in his memory he was so attached to a woman is rare, he couldn't help but shed tears. Xiao'e looked down and saw him crying, and lovingly wiped away his tears and said, "As for the big man, it should be in my arms, I am your daughter-in-law, don't be so useless." I saw the pumpkins in the yard, and I still have two at home, so don't take it because of this runway in the future. Okay, no?"
The two girls steadied themselves, struggled up from Xiao'e's arms and said: "I'm not just sending you pumpkins, that's a piggyback, and now I happened to meet a woman selling plums in the market." I bought two for two cents for you to try them, and I think you must like them, so I can't wait for you to see them right away. I can't care about this wind and rain. ”
Saying that, he took out two egg-sized plums from his wet clothes, and Xiao'e's face sank when she saw it, and she turned her face to look unhappy. The two girls are a little confused, don't Xiao'e like this plum? Have you eaten this plum? Hurriedly said: "I sent it to you all the way, why don't you like it?"
"It's just because you worked so hard for me, and you were drenched like this in the wind and rain, that I was not happy. Do you say that you are stupid or not? You dare to sell such expensive things for me? As for ah, what should I do if I fall and get injured? What should I do if I get gonorrhea? Will I be happy if you are like this? There is to please me, and it is clearly to make me worry!" Xiao'e couldn't help but turn around after speaking, crawled on the kang and cried.
Seeing that Xiao'e was sad, the second lady hurriedly said, "Isn't this good, I'm okay, my body is strong, I'll just pay attention to it in the future." He persuaded Xiao'e for a long time before she stopped crying. Then he said, "I don't want these two broken plums to make you like this! No matter how good you hurt for me, I don't want them, give me the plums." ”
The two girls didn't know how to come back and hurriedly handed the plums to Xiao'e, Xiao'e took it and then opened the window and threw the two plums out. It was too late for the two girls to stop them, so they could only look out the window and sigh, Xiao'e dragged the two girls over and pressed them to the kang and said, "I don't want anything, it's enough to have you all." ”
The two of them were talking to me and me, and it happened that Xiao'e Niang walked in with a bowl of ginger shredded brown sugar water, and when she saw this scene, she didn't retreat or advance, so she had to say: "Drink the brown sugar water, let's eat! After saying that, he put down the bowl and turned around and went out.
The two of them panicked, and the two girls blushed like pig's liver, and hurriedly pushed Xiao'e away and sat up.
Xiao'e didn't think so, and couldn't help laughing when she saw his embarrassed look.
