Chapter 12: Big and Small Wife

Didi played behind the eldest child, and there were many children in his uncle's family, and they were all big people, so he protected him everywhere, saving him a lot of trouble. Sister Huihui hugged her sister Zhiru and led Yoyo to play with the girls.

Youyou also got acquainted with several friends, including Zhao Baoshan's sister Sizhuo 11 years old and Wuduan 7 years old, Sanni Jinglan of the "Big One" family is 10 years old, Sini Jingmei is 8 years old, Wuni Jingyu is 6 years old, and Sanjing, Haiying and Xianglian, who are the same age as Youyou.

The boys gathered together to play in full swing, the one who pushed the hoop was faster than whomever ran the hoop, and the one who played the bull to see who spun for a long time. Dou crutches with one leg in his hand, jumping on one foot, you touch me, I touch him, whoever lands on the ground first loses.

The four corners are even more funny, in order to fan the wind with their clothes, help overturn the four corners of others, and open their arms in winter, but it may be that they have used enough strength, and their heads are still sweating, and it looks really not cold.

The four corners are made of two long pieces of paper crossed and folded into a square piece of paper, which is very simple and easy to obtain, but it makes children play with great interest, and whoever holds a thick pile of four corners in their hands will be particularly proud.

The slingshot shooter draws several circles on the wall, like circles on a target for shooting. Then draw a horizontal line on the ground at a certain distance from the wall, the children of the competition stand outside the line, use the slingshot to hit the circle, whoever hits the innermost wins, according to the distance near the center, can also be divided into a one, two, three and four ranking.

Haohao's favorite thing to play is to play with a slingshot, and when he comes back from herding sheep, he runs with a slingshot to find someone to compete. His slingshot is made of thick iron wire by his uncle's patriot, the rubber band is made of a double-strand bicycle valve core, and the back bread marble is a piece of soft cowhide.

The eldest uncle made several, and the older boys were one for each. Every time I take it out, it can attract the envy of other boys. Hao Hao also made a basket of dry mud balls out of clay, and the pockets of his clothes were always filled with clay eggs.

The most attractive game for children is "killing the lamb", a teenager is an old sheep, followed by a team of children, one by one pulling the clothes of the people in front, the older ones in the front, the younger ones in the back, both male and female children, a long team.

Another child, who was about the same age as the old sheep, squatted in front of the old sheep and pretended to dig the ground, and said as he went, "Dig, dig the stones." ”

The old sheep asked, "What are you doing digging stones?"

"Sharpen the knife. ”

"What do you do with sharpening knives?"

"Kill your lamb. ”

"Why are you pulling my lamb?"

"Eat me one bucket of millet and two buckets of rice. ”

"Big bucket eats, small bucket returns, quickly go down to the south to cut the willow rafters (chuan). ”

And he that slayeth the lamb turned and went out. The old sheep took the opportunity to take the lamb around in a circle and shouted, "Come and eat rice." ”

When the lamb was killed, he came back, and he pounced to kill the lamb, and the old sheep was guarding the east and west, and the one behind could not keep up and fell behind, and the killer of the lamb grabbed and wiped his neck with his hand, even if he was killed, he stood aside and watched.

Repeatedly, until the lamb was killed. Running in the winter makes the children sweat on the top of their heads, which is also a way to keep warm.

The eldest boy of thirteen or fourteen was much more stable, squatting on the ground and playing four chess. Draw four lines of the same length on the ground horizontally and vertically, dividing the large square into nine small squares. One person on one side, four pieces per person. The chess pieces are taken from the material, and the clods of soil and the sticks of firewood only need to be different.

The chess pieces are progressed step by step along the intersection of the lines, and two pieces connected on the same line capture the opponent's next piece, and the opponent's chess piece is eaten until only one is left.

This game is not only about intelligence, but also about endurance, and it is about playing steadily and winning by surprise.

The girls' games are much quieter, kicking shuttlecock, skipping rope, jumping squares, and simple games are played by a group of girls with a variety of tricks. The energetic competition, the excitement of the winner, the unwillingness of the loser, and then the new game began.

Yoyo may have been disabled in her previous life, and she subconsciously resisted the activities of running and jumping. I like to follow my friends to learn to turn the rope, a simple rope is set on the fingers of both hands, and with the flexible twisting of the fingers, one by one the patterns are presented. Noodles (parallel lines), bucket flags (diamond-shaped), and cow troughs are vivid and vivid. The four bolts are the best to play, and the most tricks are turned out.

When it was almost noon, the children were hungry, and some adults came to call them home to cook the pot, so everyone dispersed and went home. Didi followed her uncle's brother home every time, and Yoyo couldn't pull it, and Sister Huihui also dragged Yoyo to her house.

My uncle's house is also facing the street, and to the west of my uncle's house, there is a large open space between the two houses. This clearing is the center of the village, where all the village gatherings are held, and where the children play.

I heard from the people in the village that this vacant land and the nearby homestead belonged to the rich peasant Han Daorong in the village. In fact, his family was classified as a rich peasant element is really a bit wronged, his grandfather's generation only had more than 40 acres of land, and his father married the daughter of a large family, bringing a 100 acres of land to dowry.

has been married for 20 years, and has given birth to nine children in a row, none of whom have lived for more than 100 days, and they are almost forty.

In the old days of Shanxi, a group of people fled from the village. Seeing that the life in Hantun Village was better, he had the heart to sell his daughter and exchanged his daughter for food to return to his hometown. The two girls who were sold, the good ones cost 200 catties of grain, and the bad ones cost 100 catties.

Han Defu's second uncle is still working as a bachelor in his thirties, but he can't afford it. The people in the village discussed buying him a daughter-in-law for grain, after all, he was an elder in a village. Han Daorong's father has a lot of land at home, so he exchanged 100 catties and bought a handsome daughter-in-law for the second master.

Han Daorong's aunt saw that the remaining girl was honest and honest, and she was also big, but she was a little ugly, and she had the heart to marry her husband, mainly to give birth to a junior. Be honest and obey the command, and the ugliness does not fight the hearts of men. One hundred catties of grain left Han Daorong's mother-in-law.

Everyone in the village laughed, Han Daorong's father gave a total of 200 catties of grain and changed it to an ugly daughter-in-law, and the second master didn't produce a catty of grain, so he lost a handsome daughter-in-law.

The child was born, and he was still a son, but he followed his mother, honest and ugly. made his father so angry that every time he met the daughter-in-law of the second master, he would beat his wife when he came home.

Liberated, it should have been a rich middle peasant component, because he married two daughters-in-law, big and small, and was classified as a rich peasant component. The two of them were angry and anxious, and returned to the west in a fit of rage.

Han Daorong and his wife were left, and no one in the village bullied them. But the ingredients are ugly and ugly, I haven't talked about my daughter-in-law, I'm still single in my forties, and the two of them depend on each other, and they can get by in life.

The mother and mother don't have to worry about it, they live in a big yard of more than one acre, and the house collapses to the sky. Uncle and grandfather greeted the people in the village and rebuilt a house for his family. The courtyard of the two entrances was picked, and one was built at the back, and the three main houses and three supporting rooms were all brick houses, which were strong and durable, and at least allowed Han Daorong to live for a lifetime.

The courtyard at the back is fenced off by a courtyard wall, and a small vegetable garden is opened next to the house for the two to grow vegetables to eat. The seven or eight points of open space left in front of it became a public place in the village.
