Chapter 3 Domestic Pigs Dogs and Wild Boars

If you can stand up and leave, this hut can't hold Zhang Xingming, everything is an extremely familiar object in my memory, the red kang qin, two orange boxes, a large grandfather clock, and the radio that I have never seen anywhere else since I was a child. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhang Xingming was a child, the radio at home was the size of a fourteen-inch black-and-white TV, with a red and black wooden shell, the front was divided into two halves from the middle, and the upper half was a golden cloth, and it was impossible to see what material it was, and inside was the radio speaker. The lower part is glass, and in the middle, like a general radio, is the frequency modulation pointer, frequency scale, and two large knobs at both ends for frequency modulation. The special place is that under the front of the radio, there is also a row of buttons, 1.5 cm square, white, six, which are also used to change channels. This radio is the deepest memory of Zhang Xingming's life in the bungalow in his previous life, when it was the only channel for obtaining outside information and the only entertainment.

Writing here and thinking of the great deeds of this era, in this era, the radio is omnipotent, everything can be broadcast, storytelling, cross talk and singing, volleyball, football, table tennis, dance, movies, and even acrobatics can be broadcast. People gathered around the radio to listen to the gods or their blood boiling. When the women's volleyball team won five consecutive championships, at least half of the people in China listened and watched it like this. China's sports, especially ball commentary, are different from the world, now some people don't understand, just spray these commentators every day, in fact, you are really wrong, you haven't caught up with this era, don't know the fun of watching football and volleyball with sound, then again, people in this era, imagination is endless and extremely rich, in the next 30 years, created countless miracles, why?

Who is the most well-known among the common people in this era?

Not a national leader, not a big-name movie actor, not a host.

Li Guyi, Jiang Dawei, Guo Song, Jiang Kun, Li Wenhua, Ma Ji, Zhao Yan, Yang Zhenhua, Jin Bingchang, the people of the whole country listen to their (her) voices every day next to the radio or under the loudspeaker, in that era, anywhere in China, just find someone, can casually sing a few words of Li Guyi, Jiang Dawei's songs, can say a few words of Jiang Kun's cross talk, this is what the so-called stars of later generations desire, but can never surpass. These names are the spiritual pillars and sources of happiness for two entire generations in this period, and their fans are the people of the whole country, without exception, and they are extremely loyal, and they have been sought after for decades.

At that time, loudspeakers were installed everywhere in China, and they were usually radios and fixed-point broadcasts when there was nothing to do, and they were a tool for giving instructions to leaders to speak. It was the only tool for the people to obtain information and get entertainment, and it was an extremely important thing in the lives of the people at that time, and then slowly these loudspeakers disappeared from the city, but the countryside remained until the mid-90s, at the beginning it was a small team as a unit, standing in the center of the village or team, and in the 80s, every house was equipped with one

Either he will go to Sun Niang's house to listen to the record, if you want to say the most popular and awesome thing in that era, Zhang Xingming thinks that it must be this record player, a small square box, open the top cover, put the plastic record in, put the guide pin on the record, and start singing dumbly, the sound quality is not very good, a little trembling. Zhang Xingming's first song "The Snail and the Oriole" he learned in his last life was learned from this record player. The records are red, green, yellow, black, blue, thick and heavy, translucent, and by 1995, Zhang Xingming had already entered the factory to work, and he had heard this record at the home of a colleague of his own, and he had not seen it since.

Listening to the radio every day, reliving the memories of the previous life, listening to the record player, and enjoying those forgotten old songs and singers, this is all Zhang Xingming's life before he was three years old, because at this time he can only go back and forth in his own house and his grandmother's house every day, and is not allowed to go outside, he can only listen to the radio and look out at the window.

My brother should be going to work with my father, or going to work with my mother, anyway, I go with my father and mother, and then come back together. After Zhang Xingming was able to walk, his brother was at home for a long time, and the two little beans were churning all over the yard, picking a small flower, digging a small grass, chasing chickens and geese and lying on the dog kennel, and there was no stop.

Zhang Xingming's house is in the first row of this film, there is a big yard in front of the house, all the way to the river, the middle of the yard is the aisle, the two families account for half, raising pigs and chickens, and a big vegetable garden, the yard of the back five rows is only more than 30 square meters, and the two houses can only build a warehouse to put some sundries and pile up some coal, loess or something. In Zhang Xingming's memory, next year or the year after next, the factory built a staff dormitory here, and then its own yard was only about 50 square meters.

At this time, everyone was poor, and some places wanted to plant some food, so that they could save money for some food, and at this time, the city was supplied by ticket, and everything was lacking, so it was a dish, which was not easy to store.

At the head of the yard is a pigsty, raising two pigs, one black and one flower, at this time the pigs are not for meat, but for reasonable and legal money or exchange for some bills. You must know that in this era, earning money other than wages is a sentence, and speculation is a crime.

The pig is raised out of the circle called "on the task", that is, it is handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives to complete the task of the country. Later, after 79 years, people like the Zhang family who raised two pigs could hand over one bite and keep one mouthful, which was also reluctant to eat, and basically sold them all to get more money.

Zhang Xingming's two pigs have been raised half of the age, the hair on the whole body is shining in the sun, I heard someone walk to the edge of the circle, a bone from the grass mat turned up, humming all the way to the circle side of the trough, the big black eyes looked out of the circle, the flower put the two front paws on the fence, stretched his head to look out.

Zhang Xingming's height was not yet as high as the fence, he stepped on the stone in front of the fence and climbed to the fence to look inside, the little flower pig immediately became excited, shook his head and writhed his tail, and made a rapid hissing sound in his mouth, looking like he was about to jump out. Zhang Xingming climbed the fence with one hand, and reached in with one hand to touch the mouth of the flower pig, and the flower pig arched around on Zhang Xingming's little hand with his mouth, and also stretched out his tongue and licked it a few times, like a puppy. This guy has a hobby, he especially likes to eat toads, and Zhang Xingming caught toads for him in the previous life.

The black pig was very steady, standing deeply by the trough and watching Zhang Xingming interact with the flower pig, and then waited for a while, seeing that there was no feeding, he hummed a few times, shook his fat body, and went back to the grass mat to lie on his stomach. Unless the mother comes over or enters the circle, it will seem a little happy, will hum non-stop, will rub on the mother's trouser leg, and everything else is basically ignored. The flower pig is even more exaggerated, and when the mother comes, it will scream excitedly, jumping around the circle, and all kinds of flattery. And if Dad comes to the pigsty, the black pig lies there and doesn't move, and the flower pig will find an opportunity to go up and bite Daddy, and Dad has been bitten by it several times.

Zhang Xingming kicked his little buttocks, grabbed the fence, and teased the pig on the half-suspended hanging fence.

The big black dog "Black Tiger" at this time crawled out of the kennel, stretched his waist, walked over slowly, walked behind Zhang Xingming, arched Zhang Xingming's ass with his nose, turned half a body, put his back under Zhang Xingming's hanging buttocks, prevented him from falling down, and looked sideways at the flower pig in the circle quietly.

Zhang Xingming touched the flower pig a few more times, turned around and let go of the hand holding the fence, and fell directly on the black tiger, the black tiger shook for a while and stopped, and turned around unsatisfied, and whimpered against Zhang Xingming, who was lying on his back, and took Zhang Xingming to the vegetable field for a few steps, found a place to lie on the ground, and let Zhang Xingming lazy on its back.

The black tiger is actually a very strong earth dog, but it is very spiritual, very sensible, and can understand simple human words.

It is said that in this era, the most painful thing here in the Northeast is to go to the toilet.

Zhang Xingming's house has to walk almost 300 meters to the public toilet, and it is a little better in summer, but it is only a trot to find that it is full, and the internal injuries of the disadvantages have to wait. Wait until winter, especially at night in winter, that is called a comfortable ah, crawl out of the warm quilt, put on thick cotton clothes layer by layer, and then put on thick gloves, holding the standard electrical flashlight at home in this era, plunged into the biting cold wind, stepped on the ice and snow, walked to the toilet with a stuffy head, and then exposed the glorious arms in the cold wind of minus thirty or forty degrees, and when I got up, my buttocks were frozen and unconscious. Then when you get home, and then you go back to the warm kang, you will find that you can't sleep at all.

Every time Zhang Xingming's mother goes to the toilet, the black tiger will follow silently, and after following all the way to the toilet, it will take the mother one step into the toilet and turn around, and then come out and lie at the door and wait for the mother to come out. If there are people inside, it will go up and smell them one by one, and let out a "woo" roar from its mouth, and if there is a timid one, it will cry out in fright, and the mother will cry out for the black tiger, and it will stop roaring and turn around. Before the mother came out of the toilet, no one could go in again, and the people in this area were also very familiar, and came from afar, and saw the black tiger lying on his stomach at the door of the toilet, so he was not in a hurry to come, so he stood and waited far away, or went back first, and came back after a while, no one was angry, and everyone liked good dogs.

Zhang Xingming's family has six houses this time, which is the black tiger's own land, except for a few neighbors before and after, no other dogs dare to come to this area. And this row of six families usually doesn't even need to lock the door when they go out, except for the people of these six families, no one can enter the yard. In other words, no living creature can enter the courtyard. The black tiger stands upright and is one meter seven high, and can easily knock an adult man to the ground, this piece of half-sized children will often be pounced by the black tiger because of the big brother and the second brother in the yard, but at this time it will not bite, just let go of the person when it knocks it down, a clear warning.

Someone once entered the old Guo's house next door from the back window, came out of the front door after stealing something, and was almost torn by the black tiger's legs, and he lay in the courtyard of the old Guo's house for several hours and didn't dare to move, the black tiger sat beside him, until the old Guo family came back, the black tiger touched the legs of the old Guo family's aunt with his nose, and turned around to go home. As a result, the thief was so miserable, the old Aunt Guo gave him five yuan, and the thief was also a blessing in disguise, you must know that at that time, a pound of meat was only three cents and five cents, and five yuan was really a lot.

Lying on the black tiger and fiddling with its ears, the dog's ears are lying on his stomach, soft, looking up at his brother sweating and squatting in the vegetable field, I don't know what he is doing, my brother has liked this since he was a child, a person goes up the mountain and down the river to tinker, fishing and catching birds, raising flowers and raising fish and birds, until he is almost fifty years old, he is still like this, he is facing the sun in summer, facing the ice and snow in winter, often climbing mountains and wading and walking more than ten or twenty kilometers to catch a fish, sleeping in the tent at night, eating a bread, and he himself enjoys it, whether it is river fishing, lake fishing or sea fishing, he is the creator of several fishing records in Liaodong Province, and he also made his hobby a careerFrom squatting on the side of the road to sell a few fish hooks for more than eight years, by 2013, he already owned six fishing tackle stores, and was the largest fishing tackle dealer in Cup Creek and even the surrounding cities.

The vegetables in the field have grown as high as the knees of adults, Zhang Xingming walked over, and his brother was digging insects in the vegetable field.

There is no fence in the yard, Zhang Xingming followed his brother for a while and was not interested, he must be in his forties, how can he really look like a child. He pulled a few sticks of grass in his hand, leaned on the black tiger and thought nonsense. The elder brother was digging in the ground with a canning and bottle, and gradually walked into the distance.

The sun was shining head-on, the breeze was blowing, the sound of the river in the distance was faintly heard, the sun shone down and the ground was full of verdant streamers, the white, yellow and purple wildflowers on the ridges swayed in the breeze, and a few fluttershys fluttered on the flowers, one moment up, the other down.

In a drowsy state, the black tiger suddenly stood up, didn't make a sound, and ran in the direction of his brother with his body down, Zhang Xingming was thrown to the ground, and he was in a daze and didn't know what was going on, when he heard a shout in the distance that deliberately suppressed his voice: "Xiaojun, stand still, don't move, don't look back." ”

Zhang Xingming stood up straight, tried to raise his heels and looked over there, but he didn't see anything, and saw his neighbor Uncle Yang running around in a big circle, tiptoeing towards his brother, who was standing there in a daze, and the black tiger was already crouching and running to his brother's side.

Suddenly, there was a shaking in the vegetable field not far from my brother, and the black tiger had already crossed my brother, blocked my brother behind him with his body, and roared there. Then the shaking of the piece stopped.

Uncle Yang finally ran to his brother's side and picked him up, and the brother struggled to reach down and said, "Bottle, bottle is poured." ”

Zhang Xingming immediately remembered one thing, remembering that his mother said that when his brother was a child, he was playing alone in the vegetable field, and a half-big wild boar ran into the vegetable garden, and he was a few steps away from his brother to gnaw vegetables.

Uncle Yang picked up his brother, ignoring his brother's struggles, his right hand reached out to his mouth and whistled vigorously, waving into the distance, and then several neighbors came over here, and Uncle Yang shouted, "Take the guy, wild boar cub." Hurry up. ”

The men went separately to copy the guys, stones, sticks, and shovels, anyway, they just copied them according to which yard there was on the side.

The black tiger roared a few times, then stopped, just bent down, made a low "whirring" sound, and slowly walked towards the vegetable patch. The vegetable field shook violently, Zhang Xingming could vaguely see a thin black back flashing in the vegetable seedlings, and the wild boar found that there were many dogs and chose to retreat.

The black tiger didn't chase wildly, just stood between the wild boar and his brother, slowly moved his body, and leaned towards the wild boar.

The wild boar was obviously a little flustered, and saw the vegetable seedlings shaking here, and then there for a while, and was slowly forced by the black tiger to the direction of the river, because it was short, it could not see the east and west, north and south in the vegetable field, that is, it was avoiding the black tiger in the retreat, and finally out of the vegetable field all of a sudden, the wild boar suddenly came to strength, turned around and ran, just ran two steps, and faced a shovel on the pig's face, slapped it on the ground and rolled a few times, screamed and got up and ran.

Zhang Xingming saw it clearly now, it was black, his mouth and nose were thin and pointed, and his small ears were also pointed back, his streamlined body was obviously a few ranks higher than that of the domestic pig, and his teeth were also sharp and exposed outside the mouth.

The black tiger rushed over, and crossed in front of the wild boar, the wild boar jumped and turned in a different direction, and then a wooden stick hit it directly on its skull, bang, Zhang Xingming couldn't help but grit his teeth, and it hurt to listen.

The wild boar was knocked down at once, and struggled a few times before standing up, and this time it was so heavy that it almost fell when it stood up. Then there was another spade board sideways, the boar's head was biased, and the spade handle was bitten in the mouth, the spade head cut the corner of its mouth, and the blood flowed out, the wild boar hissed, bit the shovel and twisted its head, click, the shovel was bitten and cracked, and the person who took the shovel was also shaken by it and loosened the spade, and a fart fell to the ground, and even rolled backwards, which shows the great power of the wild boar. The wild boar snatched the shovel and turned around, and the shovel suddenly turned half a circle, so frightened that everyone jumped backwards. A fist-sized stone flew over and struck it in the face, knocking it over again, and the shovel fell to the ground, cracking and bending the part that was connected from the spade.

After all, it was a half-big pig, the stone smashed on the side of the face, plus the stick just now, the wild boar crawled for a long time and did not stand up, screaming desperately, the voice was sharp and piercing, causing the flower pigs in the back circle to also scream.

Several people gathered around, crackling with a spade stick, the wild boar was bleeding from its mouth, lying on the ground trembling, no longer screaming, Uncle Yang, who was holding his brother, shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, let's bleed while you have air." Then the wild boar was grabbed by the neck and picked up, and hung upside down on the wall of Lao Sun's yard with a rope, and someone had already run into the house to get a kitchen knife and a basin out, Uncle Yang put his brother on the ground, and took the kitchen knife in the past, and cut all the four hooves and neck of the wild boar, and put the basin under the pig's body, and a fishy smell came out, and the blood flowed into the basin. The elder brother squatted on the edge of the basin and looked at it, looking at the meaning of the frame to reach out and touch it.

Zhang Xingming also walked over at this time, glanced at the wild boar, it was already dead, the fierceness in his eyes had not faded, and the black and red blood flowed down its face and mouth, adding a touch of coldness.

Seeing his brother squatting there and looking at it with taste, Zhang Xingming turned his mouth, glanced back at the vegetable field, and said, "Brother, where is your bottle? Then the elder brother jumped up at once and ran into the vegetable patch, looking for his treasure, and even poured out the worms and counted them. "Didn't run. The elder brother said to Zhang Xingming with satisfaction. Zhang Xingming was dumbfounded, digging a bug and bringing a count, and took it.

Then the elder brother held his insect jar, looked at the vegetable field, looked at the wild boar, a little hesitant, Zhang Xingming wanted to laugh a little, and asked, "You don't feed the chickens?" The elder brother looked down at the insects in the bottle, and turned his head to look at the chickens that had just been frightened and were running around, and they were leisurely swimming, holding the bottles and walking towards the chickens.

When a few old chickens saw their brother coming, they tilted their heads and looked at it, and they also walked over to their brother, and the chickens also recognized people, and knew their owners and people who had fed them. A few chicks instinctively dodged for a while, and then when they saw the old chicken walking over, they stood there and observed.

The elder brother walked up to the chicken, squatted down, took the worm from the bottle and pinched it in his hand and handed it over. The old chicken looked left and right, stretched out his mouth to catch one end of the insect, and the elder brother did not let go, the insect was stretched out for a long time, trembling, and the elder brother laughed, stretched enough and let go, the old chicken swallowed and at the same time took out a worm and handed it to the other, and was happy for a long time. The chicks also rushed over at this time, chirping for bugs. The chick eats differently from the old chicken, grabs more urgently, swallows quickly, the brother feeds two and feels boring, so he avoids the chick and feeds the old chicken, the chick goes to the mouth of the old chicken to grab, a group of chickens are cooing and making trouble, this brother is happy, no one will lift up with the worm, watching them scramble in a hurry.

The insects have not been fed yet, my parents got off work, and when I saw a circle of people at the door, a smell of blood wafted out of the distance, and my father panicked from afar, and trotted all the way to the gate of the yard, and asked, "What's wrong?" Uncle Yang looked back at his father and said, "I got a wild boar cub, this is not bloodletting, it's almost, just when you come back, pack up and drink." ”

Dad looked at it and said, "This pig has been hungry for several days, and there is no meat, who caught it? Where did you catch it? We still have this play, and we have entered the mountains?"

Lao Yang pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Whoever has the kung fu to go up the mountain, you can't find it if you go up the mountain." I fought right here, and I ran here. "On the other side of the river is the mountain, and the mountain is still an old forest, and you can see rabbits and badgers running down a few times, but this is the first time that the wild boar has been so exaggerated.

Dad looked down, and saw that the wild boar ran out of his vegetable patch, and hurriedly walked to the edge of the ground to look around, and the vegetables poured some, and then Dad's eyes began to look for the child, first saw Zhang Xingming, looked up and down, and then went to see the brother who fed the chicken, and confirmed that the two children were fine, only to breathe a sigh of relief, and his face was also good-looking, and he turned around and said: "Then you can be okay, I do this thing that is quite authentic, and the piece of my hometown turns out to be a lot of this thing, and it depends on it to eat meat." In the past few years, the forest has been gone, and the fight has been ruthless, so I can't see it. ”

My mother also came over, looked at it and said, "Oh mom, I haven't seen this game for a long time, who beat it? This game is not easy to fight? I didn't let the big pig watch it, right? This game holds a grudge, can I come with it." ”

Zhang Xingming walked over and took his mother's hand and said, "Brother is digging insects in the field, and the wild boar runs to the side of my brother, and Uncle Yang runs a big circle to pick up my brother." When it was over, Uncle Ding, Uncle Song, Uncle Yu, and Uncle Wang came, and killed the wild boar, just itself, there was no big pig. ”

Mom and dad were startled, Mom went over to pick up the eldest brother and looked back and forth, trying to find out if it was hurt, Dad took Uncle Yang's hand and said, "Oh Mom, that's really thank you Lao Yang, thank you, thank you, this guy, it's too scary." ”

Uncle Yang pointed to the black tiger who was coming over to greet his mother, and said: "If you want to say it, it's still your black tiger, I saw that the pigs in front of me had entered the vegetable field, and they were three or four meters away from the boss, and I didn't dare to shout, so I went around from that end, and I didn't dare to run fast, for fear of startling the pigs." Your black tiger looked at it before me, and he didn't roar, he pressed his body and drilled directly to the side of the boss from there, and he started to bark in front of the boss, and little by little the pig went up, and I dared to run a few steps to pick up the boss, to be honest, I would be scared enough. This dog can do it. ”

Mom put down her brother and hugged the black tiger, touched and kissed it for a long time, and said to my father: "Then the pork has to be given to the black tiger, this is a meritorious service, it's too good, isn't it a tiger? The black tiger rubbed the dog's face on his mother's face and stuck out his tongue happily.

In the evening, my father was in charge, Uncle Yang and the five of them plus Zhang Xingming's family, ate a meal of wild boar, and the black tiger also enjoyed a small pot of meat and bones.

After eating, Dad divided the remaining wild boar, and the big guy took a piece back, and Dad sent another piece to the old Sun family opposite, because today Uncle Yang They couldn't call Sun Dad and Sun Niang to come over for dinner, so they left them a piece of meat, and they made it themselves tomorrow.

After eating, the family returned to the house, and naturally they were afraid again, and praised the black tiger again.
