Chapter 2: All Evils and Sentient Beings

【1】

Zhang Guangming saw a short boy of fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him, combing his traitor hair with a slit in the middle.

In his left hand he held a hen, which kicked and kicked desperately on both legs, and her pointed mouth kept "cooing", and as she barked, her head quickly swung up and down, left and right, as if she was frightened.

The boy's right hand held a bulging sack with dirt in it and ran desperately into an alley.

Zhang Guangda, the director and accountant of the county No. 1 middle school, and his wife ran out of the house in a panic to look around.

Zhang Guangda's mother, Zhang Wang, scolded Zhang Guangqian's neighbor at the door of the door of the wall: "Which three hands stole the old hen that was hatching eggs in my house just now?" Every time Zhang Wang's family lost something, she suspected that the neighbor on the wall had stolen it, and the two families quarreled constantly.

Zhang Guangming really saw Zhang Guangqian's mother and son blushing angrily, and Qiang Qiang came out and quarreled with Zhang Wang's family. At this time, the neighbors came out of their homes to see the excitement.

Zhang Guangming understood what was going on at a glance. He immediately went to chase the real three hands, and he wanted to return the innocence of Zhang Guangqian's family. He heard a quarrel behind him: "A thief has come to my house every now and then to steal something! Today, not only my hen has been stolen by my turtle grandson, but even the sweet potato seedlings and rape seedlings I planted have been uprooted and stolen!"

Zhang Guangqian's father died early, and his mother Song Qiuju worked hard to bring up her son. Song Qiuju asked loudly: "What do you mean by scolding at the gate of my house twice in three days? Do you see how good the bullying of my orphans and widows is......?"

The thief was very cunning, and one moment he turned into that alley, and the next he turned into another. Zhang Guangming followed the thief and turned left and right, and kept running.

Zhang Guangming shouted while chasing: "You stop! Stop!" The more he shouted, the faster the thief ran. Where can the thief outrun Zhang Guangming? "I think you stole something from Grandma Zhang's house, right? Where do you think you're still running?" The thief turned around and didn't dare to look up, Zhang Guangming raised his head up to see that it was Yin Jixiang.

"Oh, it's you kid! I heard your grandmother Zhang say that just now, her things have been lost many times, and you kid did it, right?"

"I didn't steal it alone, and ...... And ......" Yin Jixiang is a stammering mouth.

"Oh, so you still have accomplices? Let's go and talk to your Uncle Zhang Guangda to make it clear. ”

Yin Jixiang lowered his head and remained motionless, and Zhang Guangming dragged him back.

He cried as he walked and cried, crying so much that his eyes were watering, and he looked pitiful. He had a stutter, and stammered with Zhang Guangming: "My mother...... Eat at home...... Stuff...... Eat it all for her children, and she ...... herself House...... I was reluctant to take a bite, my mother was so hungry that she didn't ...... I've got the strength!"

Zhang Guangming knew that once the thief was caught, he would make up all kinds of reasons, but seeing him crying was not like pretending. Zhang Guangming thought about it, if he spared him this time, he couldn't tell if there would be a next time, so he must let him realize his mistakes in order to change his ways. Thinking of this, he dragged him back with a hard heart.

Before he reached the mouth of the alley, he heard Zhang Guangda and Zhang Guangqian's two families making a loud noise. As soon as the two of them came out of the alley, they saw that both families were red-eyed, and Zhang Wangshi had already raised his slap to slap Zhang Guangqian at this time.

"Auntie, you have wronged him!" Zhang Guangming immediately shouted. Everyone turned their heads and looked stunned.

I saw Zhang Guangming dragging Yin Jixiang's clothes over, Yin Jixiang was holding a chicken in one hand and a bulging sack in the other. Zhang Wangshi was extremely embarrassed when she saw it, she immediately put down the raised slap, and her face was red to the root of her ears.

"I said I didn't steal it, but I just didn't believe it. Zhang Guangqian looked aggrieved, tears rolled in his eyes, and he immediately said.

Zhang Wang's chest was so angry that he slumped together, "Oh, it turned out that you were a turtle grandson who stole my family's things, see if I don't kill you!"

While scolding, she pounced on Yin Jixiang like crazy, raised her slap and slapped her head and face, and hit the ground with a beating. Zhang Guangming and Zhang Guangda immediately dissuaded.

Zhang Guangda and his wife immediately said to Zhang Guangqian, who was wiping tears and full of grievances, with guilt on their faces:

"I'm sorry Brother Guangqian! It's Grandma Hua'er who wronged you, brother. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother-in-law!" Zhang Guangda's wife, Li Xiaoxiao, a waiter at the supply and marketing cooperative, hurriedly apologized.

"Yes, it's true that my mother wronged Brother Guangqian!" Zhang Guangda also quickly apologized.

"Brother, sister-in-law, everything is clear, there is no need to apologize. Zhang Guangqian said with tears in his eyes.

Yin Jixiang immediately walked up to Zhang Wang with a look of shame and embarrassment, and handed the hen and the sack back to her.

He cried and admitted his mistake: "Grandma Zhang is sorry...... I shouldn't ...... Don't steal your hens, and don't ...... Put the sweet potato seedlings ...... Rapeseed seedlings uprooted...... Steal it. Yin Jixiang involuntarily repeats when he speaks, which is really difficult.

Zhang Wang changed hands and handed it over to his son. Zhang Guangda glared at Yin Jixiang with an atmospheric expression and said, "It turned out that your kid stole it?" He turned around and handed it to his wife and said, "Hua'er, mother, you go home quickly, put the hen back on the eggs, and then replant the sweet potato seedlings and rape seedlings." ”

Li Xiaoxiao said "um" and took the cooing hen and seedlings from her husband and took them home.

Yin Jixiang squatted on the ground and sobbed at this time.

The people said hatefully:

"It turns out that the thief is Xiao Jixiang, what are you crying about?"

"When children start to learn badly, they can't go to prison when they grow up?"

"Auntie asked him to tell you who else came to your house to steal things in three days. Zhang Guangming pulled his words to the point.

The crowd began to talk:

"Guangda's mother scolded Guangqian for being a three-handed person for three days, so she really wronged Guangqian. ”

"It's hurt that the eldest son of the family is not small, and he can't find a partner. ”

When Zhang Guangqian's wife heard this, she suddenly felt a stomach full of grievances, and she couldn't help crying loudly: "Woo, I said sister-in-law, you wronged me Guangqian'er, you still don't believe it, you scolded me for being three-handed and three-handed, so that my son Guangqian is twenty-four years old, and I don't even have a matchmaker!"

Zhang Guangda kept apologizing: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's true that my mother wronged Brother Guangqian, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Wang sprinkled all the anger on Yin Jixiang's body, "It's all your turtle grandson who is to blame!" she turned her face to look at Zhang Guangqian, took Zhang Guangqian's hand embarrassedly and said, "Guangqian's nephew, I'm sorry, it's all the eldest lady who blames you." Don't hold a grudge against your aunt. She patted her chest again and said, "I've covered your object! Auntie, I'm sure I've introduced you to a capable and good daughter-in-law!" Zhang Guangqian lowered his head and nodded while wiping his tears.

Yin Jixiang not only did not answer, but said with a bitter face: "Look at the wild ...... outside our village. Cuisine...... Tree...... I'm not looking for something for my mother to eat, so my mother and her ...... She...... Woohoo......"

At this time, everyone didn't seem to hate Yin Jixiang at all, but instead leaked sympathetic eyes, and said that they would go home and find food to send to Jixiang's mother.

Zhang Guangda turned around and went home and grabbed the hen again, and said generously to Yin Jixiang: "Take this hen home quickly, stew it for your mother, let her make up for it!"

Zhang Guangming looked at the thin back of the eldest lady and couldn't help but feel worried about the lives of the people in his hometown. He turned his face and without hesitation, took out the ten catties of food stamps from the pocket of his jacket and stuffed them into Yin Jixiang's hand. Yin Jixiang's eyes widened and he looked at the ten catties of food stamps in his hand with joy, and tears of gratitude burst out of his eyes.

He fell to his knees with a sincere plop, and then kowtowed his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Zhang Guangming hurriedly helped Yin Jixiang up. Ji Xiang looked at the ten catties of food stamps as if he saw a life-saving straw and said with a smile, "I'll buy rice and noodles for my mother." ”。 Then he kissed the food stamps, waved to Zhang Guangming with tears of gratitude, and then ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village to buy rice and noodles.

Zhang Guangming looked at his back, but his mood was indescribably heavy.

Zhang Guangming strode and continued to walk towards the village, and when he saw the weeds on the dilapidated tiled houses, the living beings sighed secretly in their hearts.

When he walked to Professor Guo Aimin's dilapidated house, he heard an anxious voice shouting, "Catch the robbers!" Zhang Guangming ran over quickly, and he saw a beekeeper with a horsewhip in his hand, and a carriage full of beehives standing next to him. He followed the beekeeper's gaze and saw several young people who were half the size of their age, panicking into the hole door of Professor Guo Aimin's house.

When Zhang Guangming heard him nagging here, he interrupted him and said, "This big brother, then you wait here, I'll go and ask you to come back." ”

"You little tricksters meet me today, you don't want to escape! You mischievous bring the honey bucket!" he snatched the honey pot bucket and kicked down the young man who had forcibly taken the honey. When they saw Zhang Guangming trembling, they had to apologize to the beekeeper and run away. Zhang Guangming handed over a bucket of honey to the honey keeper, and the beekeeper quickly bowed to Zhang Guangming to express his gratitude.

When Zhang Guangming walked to the door of the medical room, he met Wang Daya, the wife of the old branch secretary, who had a sad face, and walked out of the medical room with Chinese medicine in her hand.

He looked at the Chinese medicine in Wang Daya's hand, but hurriedly asked, "Auntie, are you sick?"

"It's not that I'm sick, it's your Uncle Song who is sick. Wang Daya frowned and said.

Zhang Guangming thought: If people lack cereals, who will be in good health? He took something out of his satchel and said, "I brought a bottle of royal jelly to Uncle Song, which nourishes the liver and lungs and strengthens the spleen." ”

Wang Daya sighed and lowered her voice and said, "Hey, Guangming, you just came back, you don't know that your old Uncle Song has liver cancer, which is already in an advanced stage." Zhang Guangming's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. Wang Daya said dejectedly, "He has no effect on drinking this thing." ”

"What? advanced liver cancer? How long does the doctor say Uncle Song can live?" Zhang Guangming asked anxiously in a whisper.

"It's not more than six months at most. Oh, we have been hiding this matter from the villagers, I will only tell you that one person knows, you must not make a noise, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the village!"

Zhang Guangming looked at Wang Daya's back and thought: The old branch secretary has had a dream of getting rid of poverty all his life, but he has not been able to realize it. He felt very sorry for the old branch secretary who was about to die with the will of attempt!

Suddenly, two women's loud and noisy voices came from the medical room: "Zhou Feng, tell me quickly, why is the medicine you gave my son bitter?"

When Wang Daya heard this, she turned back and whispered to Zhang Guangming: "Guangming, listen, Zhou Feng and Li Baomei are quarreling again." If they get into a fight, we have to hurry up and stop it. Zhang Guangming nodded. The two of them listened to the quarrel in the medical room.

"Because your youngest son's mumps caused complications, it is difficult to control his condition without adding those bitter herbs, and if I don't give him those bitter medicines, maybe it will cause meningitis." ”

"Don't be alarmist, what complications are you talking about, meningitis, stop quibbling! You must have heard what I said to Zhao Heiniu that day, so you gave my youngest son bitter medicine, right?"

"Don't take the heart of a villain to the belly of a gentleman. Since you are involved in this matter, I want to say that you two are so despicable! You actually said such unbearable words to Zhao Heiniu to frame me? You are really a scheming and vicious femme fatale! You said such unbearable words and maliciously attacked me. What good friends we used to be, and now you're disgusting me with foul language......

Zhang Guangming and Wang Daya persuaded for a while, and they went home with sad faces.

As he walked, he sighed and sighed in his heart: "The village is really full of evil beings!" Could it be that the village is so chaotic that the village cadres don't care?
