The hands and face are dirty and disgusting, and there is snot hanging from each nose, and when he sees someone coming, he wipes it with his black hand, grinning stupidly.

"Sun Ergou! Is Sun Ergou here?"

Old Man Shi knocked on the knocker on the wooden door, and shouted inside, Sun Ergou's house is the most common kind in the northern countryside.

On the inside of the door is the doorway (aisle), which is full of messy debris, and there is only a half-meter-long place in the middle that allows people to enter and exit, and the whole doorway exudes a pungent smell, and I don't know what exactly is coming from.

On each side of the doorway is a brick and stone house, and in the middle is a courtyard, the courtyard and the courtyard wall are rammed earth structure, and at the foot of the wall are planted leeks, garlic seedlings and ...... Weed......

It's hard to tell who's who......

On the right side of the yard is a simple kitchen, covered with asbestos tiles, I don't know how many years, the asbestos tiles that should have been gray-white have turned gray-black.

When the group walked out of the doorway to the courtyard, a young woman came out of the kitchen, unkempt with an apron, and the apron was stained with oil, and she still had a lot of flour on her hands.

first smiled at the three of them, and then asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, who are you looking for?"

She spoke in the local dialect, and it was also the local dialect in the mountains, even Ma Tianyao had a hard time listening to it, but because the old man Shi often walked the streets and alleys when he was young, he understood these complex local dialects, and he immediately smiled and replied in the local dialect.

"Looking for Sun Ergou, have you arrived?"

After listening to the reply, the woman did not speak, but returned to the kitchen, and after a while, a young man came out of the kitchen, dressed in tattered clothes, followed by two boys, about seven or eight years old, still wearing open trousers, bubbling with snot.

"Who are you?

"It's your father's friend (friend), there is something to find him, what about your father?"

"Daddy, Daddy has long been dead. What's the matter with you?"

After hearing this, Old Man Shi shrugged at Ma Tianyao and Wang Chen and whispered.

"Sun Ergou is dead. ”

After finishing speaking, he gestured to Ma Tianyao, meaning that she should communicate with the other party.

Ma Tianyao can understand the local dialect, but he can't speak, so he can only imitate a rough mouth.

"That's it...... I want to live in your village for a while, not in vain, and give money. The accommodation fee is 50 yuan a day, and the meal is calculated separately, do you think you can do us a favor?"

After Ma Tianyao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chen, meaning that he was the one who wanted to live.

Sun Ergou's son looked at the three of them, scratched the hair on his head that was as lush as grass, and seemed to be unable to make up his mind, so he turned his head and grunted at his wife, and then poked his head out again.

"Then why can't it be done, why don't you eat? Hurry in, this house just makes dumplings!"

Saying that, he waved his hand at everyone, and Ma Tianyao nodded at Wang Chen and muttered quietly.

"They agreed, you will live in their house in the future, fifty yuan a day, our bet is about three months, and I will pick you up after three months, but you can't contact the outside world during this period, hurry up and call your friends and family to say, don't let people think that you are missing." ”

"Don't worry, it won't take three months, and you'll be ready to close down at that time. ”

Wang Chen pouted proudly, then took out his mobile phone and called some of his friends and family, in which he only said that he was going to travel abroad for three months, and let him talk about it in three months.

Then he turned off the phone, and handed over the mobile phone, bag and car keys to Ma Tianyao.

The three of them went into the kitchen, which was still in the style of the fifties and sixties, with earthen stoves, bellows, and a man-high pile of fuel next to the stove.

Fuel may seem like a bit advanced, but it's just some dead twigs and corn cobs and corn stalks.

Opposite the stove, against the window, was a wooden shelf made of iron, in front of which the woman was standing and wrapping dumplings.

Seeing the filling of the woman's dumplings, Ma Tianyao didn't know it, she also went over to take a look, and used the 2B system to check it, but even the 2B system was confused.

At this time, Old Man Shi whispered in her ear.

"Don't eat it if you stay, this dumpling filling is a sour soup grass, although it can also be eaten, but people who eat too much are prone to diarrhea. When we were young, we fled the famine and had nothing to eat, so we would look for these things in the mountains to satisfy our hunger. Now it seems that this Sun Jiagou is poorer than I thought. ”

Ma Tianyao sighed, looked up at the top of his head, and smiled bitterly at Old Man Shi.

Old Man Shi also looked up, and suddenly showed a wry smile.

Overhead, only a wire crept up the wall, but there was no light bulb at the end of the wire, which meant that there was no light in the kitchen.

However, Wang Chen didn't know the inside story, looked at the dumplings, and rubbed his hands excitedly with drooling and smiled at Ma Tianyao.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Boss Ma to miscalculate, this is a pure rural flavor, I heard that the cooking made by firewood is very fragrant, by the way, this water is also mountain spring water, right?"

Ma Tianyao nodded with a stiff face, and said in her heart that when the time comes, you have to know what kind of water this is, it will definitely be more exciting.

"Sit, sit, sit, sit. Dumplings can be dished in a long time, by the way, who are you going to live in my house?"

"That's it. ”

Old Man Shi pointed at Wang Chen, Sun Ergou's son looked at him, oh, and then he was about to take out a cigarette, Wang Chen hurriedly took out a pack of soft China from his pocket and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

"Smoke me, hehe, I will live in your house in the future, you can take care of it more. By the way, my surname is Wang, Zhao Qiansun Li Yin Ziyanhong Wang, a single name is a morning character, depending on your age, you are a little younger than me, you will call me Lao Wang in the future!"

"Old Wang Ba, this name is not good, I still call you Mr. Wang, you must be a big boss, and it is absolutely not wrong to call Mr. Wang. That's right, my name is Sun Dafu, huh...... Sun is ...... Oh...... Sun is the grandson of the Monkey King Bi Ma Wen, you call me Dafu Xingxing, my daughter-in-law is called Qin Huixia, and you are called Xiaxia. These are my two babies, the big one is called a dog egg, and the small one is called a cat egg, and the scientific name is Mo'an (take)......"

Hearing this, Ma Tianyao complained again, she already seriously felt that Sun Jiagou was out of touch with this society, and at least for twenty or thirty years.

Only the people of her parents' generation have official names and nicknames.

At that time, in the northern countryside, most people paid attention to their names and made a living, so they would give their children a nickname, most of which were called cat eggs, dog eggs, pig babies, dog babies and the like.

At that time, because of family planning and the uselessness of hukou, many people had several children at home, but most of them did not have hukou.

Only when the children are adults, and some even have to get married and need a hukou, will they give the children a hukou, at that time, the children are also literate and hyphenated, and most of them will follow the trend and give themselves an official name, which is also called a scientific name in the local dialect, or a big name, which is the name officially used in the future life.
