Chapter 187: Ramming is stone
Yoyo counted it, and it was really seven. Each snowman is stacked with two snowballs stacked on top of each other, some of which are larger than the bottom ones.
Dad was stunned when he heard this, and Yoyo hurriedly praised him: "It's good-looking, this dwarf is really like." Didi was even more energetic, and picked up a handful of sheep eggs, pressing two on the top and one on the bottom, and the eyes and mouth were gone.
Mom's cry came: "It's time to eat." ”
Dee Dee said to the snowman, "I'm going to dinner, and you guys listen to Snow White's story." ”
After eating, Dad told Didi about building a snowman. Then ask Yoyo, "Yoyo, where did you listen to the story of Snow White?" Yoyo still says: "I read it in a book I found in the waste paper." ”
As he spoke, he also found an old Grimm fairy tale from a pile of drawing books, and his mother took it and flipped through it.
The more she looked at it, the more ugly she became, and she said to her grandmother worriedly: "Mom, you can't get used to it anymore, if you go on like this, something will happen sooner or later, and she is not too young, so you can't rely on her for everything." ”
Yoyo reflected that now Andersen and Grimm's fairy tales are banned books, and what he did was really wrong. I heard my grandmother say: "I don't quite understand, I just want to see if she likes it, and the comrades at the scrap collection station didn't say anything." ”
In the end, it was Dad who came forward, "Yoyo, you are still young, you don't know right or wrong, and some books can't be read now." You've seen a batch of bullfighting ghosts and snake gods, and ghosts and gods can't be touched, this book is about mythological stories, not only you can't read it, but you can't tell Didi in the future.
Let outsiders know, our family has to be criticized. Now, there are county workers living in our village. You follow your grandmother out, and you have to pay attention to what you say. ”
Yoyo quickly admitted his mistake: "I know."
Mom took out the boxes of their picture books, and the more she looked at them, the more surprised she became. "Look at the picture literacy, this card is really good; 100,000 why, it's still a complete set, but it's a pity that there is no cover, but the content is not lacking.
This also has a fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, which must also be put away. This book of 300 Tang poems is really good, there is pinyin and annotations, I have never seen this version, when was this published, and the child reads it well. It's a pity that I won't let me see it now. Yoyo, did you read the poems you memorized in this book?"
Youyou listen to the black lines on your head, what is this, what is this, I am a high-achieving student of Beijing University, there are many things that will be there, and I can find a reason for everything. Helplessly replied: "yes, I forgot about it too." ”
Mom and Dad flipped through the books and picked out a lot of forbidden books. Grandma said: "Give it all to me, it will be burned tomorrow, and it will be a disaster to keep it." ”
Mom looked distressed, "What kind of year is this?"
Grandpa sighed: "Don't feel bad, our family has destroyed more good things, and a stable life is more important than anything else." ”
Grandpa hugged Didi: "Didi, listen to Grandpa, let's not talk about Snow White in the future, where is she sleeping in the crystal coffin, someone mentions that she can't sleep well, she will have nightmares, let her sleep quietly and wait for the prince." ”
Didi was still young, and hurriedly assured his grandfather: "I won't say it again, I can't make the dwarf sad." ”
Grandpa touched his head: "What a good boy." ”
The north wind blew in the night, and the wind blew "whining" all night. Before dawn, someone came to call my father, and the old man in the family was sick.
I slept until eight o'clock, and when I went out, the sun was shining, the blue sky and white clouds, but it was cold. The breath that came out of his mouth turned into mist. Dad went out to fetch water and came back with a layer of frost on his eyebrows.
As soon as you leave the house, you feel a pain in your cheeks. Quickly retracted back into the house, "Grandma, it's really cold outside." ”
Grandma replied casually: "It's an old saying that snow doesn't turn cold when it snows." ”
Dad heard it and told everyone, "I just looked at the thermometer, it's -11 degrees, and I'm going out to wear thicker today." ”
Youyou looked at herself, the thick cotton clothes that her grandmother had just worn were almost balls. Look at Didi again, just like himself, walking with his arms crossed, similar to a penguin.
The family was eating breakfast when the sound of "crackling" firecrackers came from outside. Grandma said, "This is the beginning of slaughtering sheep, and I will buy some mutton later." ”
Yoyo asked curiously: "Grandma, who is ramming?" ”
Mom laughed first, "Sanjing's father is called tamper, you children can't shout, you have to call uncle." ”
Next, grandma and they talked about the origin of the name ram: it turned out that there were two brothers and fathers. His father was the eldest, but he gave birth to four boys in a row and died.
His second brother also gave birth to two boys in succession, the eldest was called a stone, and the second was called a door anvil (zhen, a rectangular stone that was placed under the door frame), both of which were strong and solid.
A face-to-face came to the village, looked at the boss and said. said that his life was weak, he was overcome by hard things, and it was difficult to set up a son.
He spent a lot of money and gave a crack to each other, and the reborn boy was named Rammer, specializing in smashing hard things. Not to mention, he has been strong since he was a child, and he has never even had a headache and fever.
However, his nickname has also become a joke, because his cousin is called Stone, and everyone often jokes with them: "Rammer is stone." ”
The common saying here is that "the son is Lao Tzu", and the other meaning of "ramming is a stone" is that ramming is the son of a stone. It's just that they are uncles and brothers of the same generation, this is a curse.
Tam has been fighting with people since he was sensible, but his father and mother listened to each other's words, and it was not until he was seven years old that he was given a big name (the name on the household register). The people in the village are used to shouting and shouting, and until now adults and children are still shouting "tamping, ramming".
After getting married, he gave birth to two sons, and his father gave him a name enough. The eldest son is called Steel Ball, and the second son is called Iron Egg, both of which are strong enough.
Tam strongly opposed, was jointly suppressed by his father and mother, and did not become a family. And, like him, no name is given before the age of seven.
finally gave birth to a girl, and her mother named her: "You two are looking forward to your daughter all day long, so let's call it Sanjing." ”
Tam slaughters sheep every winter, and also makes roast mutton. After slaughtering the sheep, the first market to sell raw mutton, and those who can't sell it go home to make roast mutton, which can be put for three or four days in cold weather.
Four episodes in ten days, two sets of Zhang, and two puddles. Relying on this craft, although his father and mother are old and their three children are young, his family's life is okay.
Today is the 11th, Zhang Ji Daji, and the weather is very cold. Grandma said: "Today the mutton should be easy to sell, the weather is cold, and the unit has more mutton." ”
Grandma went out after eating and brought back a large piece of mutton. "Tam slaughtered two sheep today, and sold one before leaving the village, we asked for half a big one, more than five catties of meat. ”
At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, his uncle came to the village, and he went down to the village to check the snow situation, and turned to visit the old man at home.
