(saliva is written)

After eating, it was dark, grandma boiled hot water, five people washed their feet and went to the kang to drill into the quilt, the heat passed from the kang along the mattress to the body, that called a comfortable, after a while Zhang Xingming fell asleep, dreaming that his company made a lot of money, and the business was very good.

When I woke up the next morning, my father was already gone, and the train was six o'clock in the morning, and my father had to leave at four o'clock, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up.

My brother turned over and lay on the pillow in the bed, looked around, and asked in a careful low voice, "Is my dad gone?"

Zhang Xingming shook his head, saying that he didn't know, his brother got up, ran to the kang, and looked out at the door frame, grandma was cooking on the fire, and my brother asked in a low voice: "Grandma, where is my dad?"

"Let's go, go back to the South Tomb. ”

"Oooo The elder brother was immediately elated, and suddenly he was in good spirits, and he jumped up and down on the kang and shouted.

"Don't jump, pop the kang again, go down to the ground if you don't sleep, and come out to wash your face." "Grandma scolded my brother in the outhouse. (The inside of the kang is a hollow fire channel, and a layer of rammed earth or bricks is placed on the surface, and it often happens that children collapse the kang)

"Second brother get up, let's catch fish in a while. The elder brother began to get dressed and said to Zhang Xingming.

"Catch fish," Zhang Xingming lay there looking at the fifty or sixty centimeter diameter beam on the ceiling, hesitating whether to get up, the small ditch at the door was less than half a meter deep, and the largest fish was as big as his finger now, and now the river was still cold, and he was forty years old, so he couldn't raise any interest.

"You're not going, it's fun, let's go burn stubble." "My brother got dressed and slid down the edge of the kang, stepped into his shoes and lay down to tie his shoes, he came to his grandmother's house every year, and he was more familiar with the fun he could find when working in the countryside.

Zhang Xingming turned over, lay on the pillow and looked at his brother and said, "If you burn your clothes, it is estimated that your butt is about to catch fire, and my dad will have to beat your butt into sixteen petals." The elder brother touched his buttocks and said, "You can't burn your clothes, can you?" ”

"Brother, do you know the children of the fourth family of Zhong Lao on the other side?" Zhang Xingming sat up and got dressed, although he was four years old, he was old inside, and there was no pressure to dress himself.

"There are only two of them, Changhong's fart girl snatched my things, yes, let's go find her for revenge." The elder brother shook his fist.

"Huh?" Zhang Xingming was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, it's not two, the little one will not be born until next year, fortunately, my brother is small, I didn't pay attention to this, it seems that I have to be more careful when I talk in the future, don't leak stuffing outside.

Washing his face, eating, bud rice and rice porridge, the leftover vegetables from last night, when he was full, his brother led him out of the courtyard gate and came to the river.

There is a wooden bridge on the river, and at the other end of the bridge is Zhong Laosi's house, and his brother stands at the head of the bridge and shouts: "Zhong Changhong, Zhong Changhong." ”

After shouting a few times, a girl with braided hair and a half-dressed red jacket came out of the fence gate and asked, "Who called me?" and "I," said the elder brother with a small wooden stick and knocked on the pillar at the head of the bridge, "Changhong, I am here again, hurry up and return my cunning to me, or I will whip you with a stick." (尜, pronounced ga, is a spinning top)

"When did I take you, if you dare to hit me, I'll tell my dad." Zhong Changhong got out of the fence gate, closed the fence again, and then walked along the bridge.

"Who is this?" Zhong Changhong looked at Zhang Xingming and asked his brother.

"My little brother, I am now two little brothers, if you dare to take my things again, our brothers will cut you together, do you believe that you will be popular?"

"I'm about to have a little brother, in my mother's belly, my mother said that it will be in another year, and when the time comes, I will lead my brother to kill you" Changhong is not afraid of fighting with his brother at all, rural children go to the ground early, and they have all their strength, plus she is two years older than her brother, and she is taller.

"What about me?" the elder brother stabbed Chang Hong's ass with a stick.

Changhong grabbed his brother's stick, then grabbed his brother's arm, pressed his brother to the ground at once, slapped him twice, his brother turned over on the ground and climbed up, rushed up with a bang, the two grabbed together and twisted for a long time, and finally his brother finally pressed Changhong underneath, shouting: "Stinky girl, do you want to accept it?" Zhang Xingming covered his face on the side, oh my God, it's too embarrassing.

After tearing for a long time, both of them were tired, sitting there panting, Zhang Xingming looked at this, looked at that, and asked, "Don't you two feel cold on the ground?" The two people got up and patted the soil on their bodies.

"Are you going to burn stubble in the field?" asked Changhong while patting.

"I'm not going to burn it, smoke my eyes. ”

"Then let's catch the fish," the elder brother picked up the little stick he was holding, and went to stab the red arm again.

"The water is too cold, let's go to the fort to play, call my little brother and they will go to fight the finches (birds, the northeast pronunciation)"

"Why don't you pick up spicy food?" (a kind of insect attached to a branch or grass stalk, the scientific name does not know what it is called, the larval stage has a peanut rice size like a bird's egg-like shell, after growing up, the shell breaks out, there are thorns on the body, the back of the hand will sting, and it is particularly fragrant to eat in the charcoal fire.) Spicy reading two tones)"

"Well, I know a lot, but I need to take you there. "Changhong's family is here, taking advantage of the familiar terrain and starting to bargain. Girls generally don't dare to get this thing, it hurts.

"That's not good, we still have two people, at most half of the family. ”

Changhong thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there, you pick, and you're done with half of the family." ”

The elder brother looked at Zhang Xingming, and then at Changhong, Zhang Xingming watched him swallow his saliva. After thinking about it again and again, my brother nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go, half is half." Zhang Xingming smiled bitterly in his heart, the elder brother sold himself in order to order something delicious, it is estimated that it is not enough for him to eat alone, this kind of thing has happened since the last life, two people catch knife mantis (praying mantis) grasshoppers or something, almost all of them are eaten by my brother alone.

The three of them left the river, and Changhong led the two brothers through the vegetable field and towards the west mountain.

After passing through a pine forest and passing a bend in the mountain, the slopes in front of me were full of shrubs more than one person high, and the shrubs had just returned to green and budding in this season, and had not yet produced large leaves.

Then the brothers stepped on the thick dead grass and fallen leaves and the new tender grass under their feet, and began to search for it in the bushes. The white and gray patterns on the shell of the little thing were attached to the branches that were still yellow, and it was not difficult to find them if you looked closely.

Changhong was looking for it on the edge of the bushes, afraid of scratching his clothes by drilling in the forest, so the brothers looked for it in the forest. Concentrate on doing things The time passed the fastest, and after a while, the sun was overhead, my brother looked at the sky, and wanted to continue looking, but he wanted to go back to eat, frowned and thought about it, and said to Changhong: "Go home and eat, come back in the afternoon, and divide it in the evening." ”

"No, divide it first, and then divide it after looking for it in the afternoon. Zhong Changhong immediately objected.

My brother thought about it and asked Zhang Xingming, "Erming, how many have you found?"

Zhang Xingming looked at it: "Seven." ”

The elder brother took it out of his pocket with his hand and took it out to show Changhong: "I'll give you these six, Erming's seven, I'm hungry, I'll go back to eat, and I'll come back in the afternoon." Then he said to Zhang Xingming: "Erming, you give her your seven." After speaking, he drilled into the outside of the forest, walked home, and shouted: "Hurry up, my grandma shouted that it is time to eat, and my grandma will beat you with a broom." ”

Zhang Xingming didn't have to think about it to know that he must have more than seven in his pocket, handed the seven in his hand to Changhong, got out of the forest and followed his brother home.

Changhong chased behind: "Dajunzi, you are cheating, I want to see you in your pocket." ”

When he ran to the door of his grandmother's house, his brother stopped, put his hand on the railing, and said, "What have I done? ”

Changhong ran over and went to his brother's pocket to dig out, four pockets were all over, only six, he looked at his brother a little suspiciously, turned his head and went home.

Zhang Xingming asked, "How much did you get?" The elder brother gave him a blank look: "Six." He turned around and went into the courtyard.

The meal has been placed on the kang table, grandma is taking boiling water and warm wine, Zhang Xingming took off his shoes and climbed into the kang to sit down, look at the table, meat stewed eggplant, this is left over from last night, newly stewed potatoes and sauerkraut, a bowl of chili sauce, corn tortillas, two rice dry rice. (Rice cooked with rice and corn ballast)

After eating two bites, my brother hadn't come in yet, and my grandmother shouted, "Army, come in and eat." ”

The elder brother replied outside, Zhang Xingming climbed to the window and looked out, the elder brother was squatting at the railing door to pick up something from the ground, it seems that in order to cope with Changhong's inspection just now, he threw all the extra foreign spice to the railing door. When my brother came in and climbed onto the kang, it was estimated that there were twenty or thirty of them.

After eating, my brother ran to the north kang to carry the brazier, and my grandfather hurriedly reached out to take it: "Can you move it? Don't break it, you are playing this game?" The brazier is an open jar-like thing with yellow mud burning, and there are a few wires on the outside, which are available in every household in the rural areas of Northeast China. In winter, the red charcoal fire burned in the stove pit is put into the brazier with a shovel and placed on the kang for heating, and children like to burn things in it, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, grasshoppers, and everything.

"Brother wants to cook spicy. Zhang Xingming leaned on the kang qin and said.

"that trick, okay, grandpa will make fire for you. Grandpa went to the outhouse as he spoke, and after a while he filled a red charcoal fire from the bottom of the stove with a spade and poured it into the brazier, and suddenly there was a surge of heat in the house.

The elder brother climbed on the kang, climbed to the edge of the brazier, looked at Zhang Xingming and blinked, and said, "You are too young to make it, I will burn it for you, you just look at it." Zhang Xingming smiled, brother's greed and taking advantage of small advantages came, and nodded.

So my brother was happy, and took out the spicy stuff from his pocket and put it on the kang, and Zhang Xingming saw that there were thirty or forty of them, quite a big one. Then one by one, they broke the shells and carefully placed them on the charcoal fire, and immediately a special fragrance wafted through the whole room.
