Part 2 The Old Eagle's Nest Chapter 11 Pounding the Cow
After the three-nerve woman gave birth, the whole village could not find the three-nerve anymore. People feel puzzled, but don't think it's strange, the three nerves are like this, the gods and gods are mysterious and mysterious, and it is because of this that people call him three nerves, and if the three nerves don't make some things about the divine nerve scriptures, the old and young masters will feel strange.
"These three nerves, I can't tell where the nerves went. The production team should hold a meeting to criticize him fiercely, so that there is no collective concept at all, and if the old and young masters in the whole village compare with him, the entire production team will not want to do anything. The old accountant smiled contemptuously and snorted.
"I haven't been out of work for two days. Ma Lao Er shook his head, "It's not that he hasn't criticized the fight, it seems that when the old captain is still doing it, he got his three nerves to the brigade meeting to criticize and fight, and the people in dozens of villages in the entire brigade are present.
"He doesn't work or not, and he still expects him to work hard? When he encounters such a master, no one can do anything. As the old saying goes, if a person wants to be shameless, the gods are difficult to manage, and he is so faceless and skinless, even if the big cadres of the central government are transferred, he will not be punished, and he will not commit any capital crimes, so he can't be dragged out and killed. Zhao Chang looked at Ma Lao Er and said with a smile, "He is famous when he works, sometimes it is better for him not to work, so that someone can compare with him." ”
"This valley rain season has arrived, and there must be arrangements in the ground. Today, a few of us are figuring out together, what should be done in the field this year. This year, the tasks of the commune have also been arranged, and we have to think about arranging the crops in the fields according to the tasks above. Ma Lao Er doesn't care where the three nerves will go at this time, the harvest of the old and young masters of the whole village will be thoroughly pondered at this time, and the above public grain task, to go to the above public grain, how much each person's annual ration needs, how much grain these roughly need, how much grain can be produced from an acre of land, and how many acres of land need to be arranged to cope with these. However, since he took over as the captain of the production team, he will sum up with the village leadership team every spring, but the total amount of each year feels that there is not enough land.
"This year's cotton tasks are more than in previous years, and I wonder if we can free up more land to grow cotton, why do we have to complete the above tasks. The old accountant frowned, as if he was recalling the numbers given above for the cotton task.
"It's a pity to plant cotton in the spring, and it will be delayed for a year. Only this season of cotton can be planted this year. Ma Lao Er pondered the words of the old accountant and said, "In my opinion, let's plant more wheat stubble cotton, and plant some peanuts and cowpeas in the cotton field, although the yield of cotton is lower, and the peanuts and cowpeas are still harvested, after all, they have been harvested for two seasons." ”
Captain Ma said that there was such a thin land in the village, and it was like this every year, and the grain that was beaten out was handed over to the public grain, and there was not much ration in everyone's mouth, and they had to live with their belts tight all year round. Zhao Chang blinked his face, sighed and said, "The old and young masters are busy all year round, a year has passed, another year has passed, this year is like this, next year will be like this, when will the old and young masters have a good life?"
"Captain Zhao's words can only be said to a few of us, and we must not arrest anyone to complain about this, it is a mistake to say this. Ma Lao Er immediately stopped Zhao Chang's words, in fact, he has always been so confused in his heart, he is busy all year round, no one in the village can be spacious, and the people who are frugal can barely maintain a year's situation. said that he would not be able to live, but in fact, he would not be able to eat less food. The girls who can live will get some wild vegetables or something at the end of the day, and make up for the food to eat.
Zhao Chang looked at Ma Lao Er with a face and said, "I'll talk to a few of us, and I won't be able to reach other people's ears." ”
"If Captain Zhao didn't say this, we didn't listen to it, and no one can talk around with this in the future. Ma Lao Er looked at Zhao Chang's face, then looked at the old accountant, and said, "Let's follow the above tasks and the rations of the old and young masters in the village today, and calculate the arrangements in the field this year." ”
Several village cadres gathered around to figure out the fat and thin of the plot and the arrangement of crops, and suddenly, someone shouted anxiously that Zhao Daya had beaten the cow. When several village cadres heard such a shout, they immediately rushed over and asked Zhao Daya about beating the cow.
"The newly bought yak top man. It was Zhu Sanjiao who shouted, he ran over to the village cadres, and while running, he panted and said to Ma Lao Er and a few of them, "Zhao Daya put it on the braces to plow the ground, at first it was obedient, and when it came to the plow in the field, Zhao Daya whipped it in the back, and it turned around and rushed at Zhao Daya, and the plow in Zhao Daya's hand had not been released, so it flew out." If anyone goes over to help Zhao Daya, the yak will go to help him, and no one dares to go over to help Zhao Daya. The yak was standing next to Zhao Daya, as long as Zhao Daya moved, it would slam against Zhao Daya. Let's go over and take a look, and soon Zhao Daya will break it. ”
Ma Lao Er heard that the newly bought yak was so powerful, so he hurriedly found a stick from the side of the road and ran in the direction of Zhao Daya's plow. Zhao Chang's face followed closely behind Ma Lao Er. The old accountant ran like a woman with small feet, he was panting with his mouth open, and his legs were upside down to follow Ma Er.
When Ma Lao Er came to the place where Zhao Daya plowed, the yak was still staring back and forth around Zhao Daya, and his nose was snorting with anger. Ma Lao Er couldn't help but say, and picked up the stick in his hand and beat it down according to the yak.
The yak cow was just staring at Zhao Daya who had fallen to the ground for it, where would he have thought that the stick suddenly fell in mid-air, and after hitting the stick, it instinctively turned around and rushed towards Ma Lao Er.
Ma Lao Er flashed to the side, and the yak was in the air. But it was such an empty space, which made it even more hot, and turned its head and slammed into Ma Lao Er again. Ma Lao Er dodged again, and the yak pounced back and forth.
People took advantage of this time to pick Zhao Daya up and take him away. The yak suddenly found that people had taken Zhao Daya away, so he left Ma Er like crazy and rushed towards Zhao Daya.
Ma Lao Er immediately rushed over and stopped in front of the yak, and hit the yak with the stick in his hand according to the two front legs of the yak.
The yak only had Zhao Daya in front of it in its eyes, and it didn't notice that Ma Lao Er would slam its front legs with a stick, and in the blink of an eye when it hit Ma Lao Er's stick, it fell down on its heels.
When Ma Lao Er saw the yak fall down, he threw off the stick in his hand and rushed up and grabbed the bull's nose circle, and then quickly wrapped the rope on the cow's nose circle around the cow's neck and wrapped it around a tree on the side of the road.
Zhao Changmian, who was following Ma Laoer, immediately took the rope that Ma Lao Er wrapped around the tree, and tied it firmly in three times and two times.
Ma Lao Er saw that Zhao Chang's face was firmly tied to the rope, let go of the bull's nose circle in his hand, jumped to the side, jumped to the place where the cow's head could no longer reach it, patted the cow hair on his hands, and looked at the yak cow with his nose puffed out and stared at him and became angry.
The yak saw that Ma Lao Er let go of the iron ring on his nose, and his two front legs jumped up again, and it rushed towards Ma Lao Er, but this time it was not involved like just now, and the rope tied to the tree tightly pulled the iron ring on its nose, and pulled its nose to tear the same pain. Its anger seemed to make it ignore the pain in its nose, and it rushed back and forth several times, but each time it attracted the same pain as its nose was torn, and it gave up the collision with Ma Er, but its anger did not diminish because it gave up the collision. Still unconvinced, he was pulled by the rope and his nose around the tree, snorting and panting with anger.
"What happened to Zhao Daya?" Ma Lao Er saw that the yak was tied to a strong knot, and turned his head to ask the person next to him.
"Looks so heavy, I can't speak!" replied the man next to him.
"Captain Zhao, you quickly take two people to take Zhao Daya to the commune hospital. Ma Lao Er immediately instructed Zhao Chang and said, "The person is pulling too slowly, let's pull the donkey, today I will take two people to take care of this cow, otherwise, no one will dare to work on it in the future." ”
Zhao Chang shouted to the two of them and went.
After Zhao Chang's face left, Ma Lao Er looked at the crowd for a while, and called out the second stunned and his third brother. These two are still unmarried guys, and some of them have a fierce force, so that the two of them can train this yak, and they will definitely be able to train honestly.
Er stunned and Ma Laosan took a whip in their hands, they first drove the yak around the tree, and when the yak's nose was tightly pulled by the rope, they used a rope to tie the cow's neck to the tree, and the two people began to grit their teeth and whip the yak one by one.
At first, the yak tried to break free from the rope tied to the tree on its hind legs, but when it was tired of tossing, the rope tied to the tree still firmly pulled its nose and tied its neck, and the whip on its body continued to be beaten one after another.
"Beat it, or it will still have sex in the future, and it won't be honest, the yak is like this, and it can't jump up today, and it will have the strength to jump again tomorrow." The old accountant looked at the yak that had no strength to fight, and then looked back at Ma Lao Er and said, "Let's spend more than 300 yuan to buy it for it to work and plow the land, not to use it as a breeding cow." Hammer it, and it will not only become honest, but also more powerful. I took advantage of this time to beat it up a little scared, and beat it up. ”
Ma Lao Er scratched his head and pondered, the old accountant's words were very eloquent, so he beat it!
Seeing that Ma Lao Er agreed with his meaning, the old accountant shouted to the person next to him to find a rolling pin and mallet, and told him not to forget to bring half a bowl of sesame oil together.
Someone followed the old accountant's instructions, walked a few steps, and then turned back and asked the old accountant if he needed a small rope.
The old accountant scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I forgot about this, I can't beat it without a small rope." ”
Ma Lao Er instructed Er Xuan and his third brother to stop, and asked the two of them to take advantage of this moment to find a few trees next to the yak and tie them up. The head of the ox shall be hung up, and all four legs shall be tied to a tree, and one leg shall be tied to a tree, and it shall be tied strongly.
When the two of them untied the rope on the tree and led it forward, it sat back on four legs, and no longer had the momentum of the top man just now.
Seeing that it refused to go forward, the second stunned and the third horse saw that it would not go forward, so one led it in front of it, and the other went around to the back of its buttocks.
As soon as the yak saw that there was another person behind it, he turned his head to look behind him, and this glance frightened it to tremble again, and the second person who went around the back of its ass raised the whip and wanted to smoke it again, so that it immediately had the intention of hiding. It stopped sitting backwards, and its four legs immediately stepped forward.
Ma Laosan found a few trees and stopped very close. He first tied the rope from the circle of the ox's nose high to a thicker tree, and then tied the neck of the ox firmly to the tree. These were securely tied, and he and Erfu began to tie the four legs of the ox to the four trees.
"The two hind legs should be separated and tied, so that they can be beaten. Ma Laosan was stunned when he saw that the two hind legs of the cow were going to be tied to two trees that were very close to him, and reminded the second stunned.
I was stunned where I had ever seen the work of beating the cow, and I didn't know how the cow would beat it, anyway, I knew that beating the cow was to turn the bullwhip of the yak into an ornament, and there was no longer the ability of a bull. He followed Ma Laosan's words and tied the two hind legs of the yak to two trees a little farther away, and then began to tie the two front legs of the ox to the trees. He wrapped the rope back and forth a few times, fearing that it would not be very secure, so he tried to pull it with his hand a few times, and felt that it was safe, before he stood up and patted the dust on his hands.
The second stunned and the third horse had just tied the cow, and the rolling pin, small rope and mallet had already been delivered.
When the old accountant saw that everything had stopped, he ordered Er Du to take out the cow from behind the butt and tie the cow egg boy with a small rope from the root, and the rope should be buckled live.
The second stunned didn't go through this matter, and after a long time of messing around behind the cow's ass, he still didn't understand what the old accountant said.
The old accountant was a little impatient and pulled the second stunned to the side, took the small rope from the second stunned hand, twisted a live button in his hand, stretched his hand under the cow's belly, and the live button was firmly tied to the root of the cow eggboy. He shouted "rolling pin", and the person next to him handed the rolling pin to him. The old accountant pulled the cowboy back, and the little rope carried the cowboy from underneath. The man who saw the ox thrashing immediately shouted that he wanted to put the rolling pin under the cow's buttocks, and the rolling pin went under the cow's buttocks. The old accountant asked the two men to turn the rolling pin from both ends of the rolling pin to his strength, and then used the little rope to roll the cowboy onto the rolling pin. The old accountant saw that the cowboy was rolled up firmly, and warned the guys with rolling pins on both sides not to let go. The two guys with rolling pins nodded, gritted their teeth and tightened their rolling pins, and the green tendons on the back of their hands also rose.
The yak was tossed so painfully that it moved its whole body back and forth, but its four legs were firmly tied to the tree, and it couldn't get out.
The old accountant saw that the rolling pin was firmly in hand, rolled up his sleeves, and took the mallet from the side. He first dipped his hand in sesame oil and rubbed a lot back and forth on the rolled cow eggs. I smeared sesame oil on the mallet, and gently knocked it back and forth on the rolled up cowboy a few times, and then raised my arm, and the mallet smashed on the cowboy very hard, and then smashed it a few times, and then gently smashed it again.
The yak can't afford to move its hooves, so it can only open its mouth and moo.
"Beat it like this, tightly and lightly. The old accountant danced with a mallet while explaining the method of beating the cow to the people next to him, "This is so tight and light for a while, you can beat it clean at one time, or the egg boy will not be broken, and after a while, there is still a temperament." ”
The two guys with rolling pins next to him listened carefully to the old accountant's words, and the strength of his hands was always tense without the slightest slackness.
The old accountant was so tight that he danced and tossed half a bag of cigarettes with a mallet, and gradually he became a little tired, and his mouth began to pant with half open.
"Old accountant, I'll beat it for a while, you can rest next to you first, can you watch me beat it?"
The old accountant handed over the mallet in his hand to Er Stunned and said, "People are old and don't need to be tossed." ”
The second stunned took the mallet, followed the old accountant's example, and smeared some sesame oil on the mallet, and raised the mallet and hammered it hard.
"This can't be done, you have to work harder slowly, your strength is much stronger than what I used just now, and the cow can't stand it. The old accountant was stunned and gritted his teeth and danced the mallet, and hurriedly reminded, "Your energy has to increase slowly, don't use so much strength all at once." ”
The yak didn't know what was going on, but this tossing made it quiet, no longer moving to want to kick, no longer mooing in his throat, but the whole body was shivering, and the hair on the whole body became sweaty.
"Almost. The two stunned according to the old accountant's words for a while, and estimated that the two eggs of the cow had to be crushed, so he turned his head to look at the old accountant and asked, "The beating time is not short." ”
The old accountant stopped the mallet, reached out and carefully touched the cow egg boy rolled up to the rolling pin for a while, shook his head as if he was wondering what to do, and said, "It's not enough, the tendons inside haven't broken yet, and they have to be hammered for a while." ”
The second was stunned to hear the old accountant say that he had not yet beaten it clean, so he spit on the palms of his hands alternately, pulled up his sleeves a few more times, and said, "Beat it for another hour!" and then picked up the mallet and hammered it.
The old accountant looked at the two stunned beside him, lest this kid do something to the side.
The second stunned thought that this thing was quite unusual, and the more he picked up the mallet, the more he felt the strength in his hand.
"Old accountant, looking at this look, Zhao Daya beat this cow very lightly, and it is estimated that he will not be able to work for a period of time. He ploughed the ground for the production team and roof the oxen, and no matter how long he had to lie down, he had to record his daily tenths of work. Ma Lao Er saw that the yak was almost beaten, looked at the old accountant and said, "I will go to the commune hospital to see Zhao Daya after I finish work later, and I need to bring something to Zhao Daya, you should think about it in your heart." ”
"What can we think about, besides, what can we bring him something? What can we give him?" The old accountant scratched his scalp and was worried, the production team was so poor that he was hanging eggs, except for some seeds in the warehouse, a few catties of sesame oil left over from last autumn, and there was nothing to take out.
"Well, let's see who has eggs, let's make a note of them, and then use them to make up for them when the wheat is divided in the summer. Ma Lao Er couldn't think of any good way to come, so he asked the old accountant to say.
"It's the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the old hens are resting at this time, and whose old hens are laying eggs at this time. The old accountant looked at Ma Lao Er very embarrassed, "It's just that whoever has a few eggs, and that's also the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home." ”
Ma Lao Er was also worried all of a sudden, the old accountant was telling the truth, the village is like this, no one has it all year round, no one has it better than others, the work is about the same, the grain is also about the same, the production team's warehouse is larger than the member's family's hoarding, but the public grain handed over and the seed grain for the next season, the production team's warehouse is also empty.
"That's it, if you go to see Zhao Daya after finishing work, go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to get some brown sugar and white sugar on credit. The old accountant really couldn't think of any way, so he tried to see if Ma Lao Er could think of something else.
Ma Lao Er heard the old accountant say this, and smiled bitterly: "The supply and marketing cooperatives don't pay on credit!"
"My old hen is so old that it doesn't lay eggs, a few days ago I let my mouth catch and kill and send Chen's second sister-in-law to milk, there is no longer a living creature to kill at home, but there is a dog, that I am reluctant to kill, and I have been feeding it in my house for more than ten years. The old accountant pondered for a while, looked at Ma Lao Er and said.
"My family too, there are two old hens, and in the past two days, Ma Huaniang has been killed to make up for the three-nerve woman. Ma Lao Er smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "Later, take a few people to summon a few dogs to the field to pick up the rabbits, and bring the two rabbits over." ”
The old accountant smiled, there was really nothing else, there were more hares in the field, there were more dogs in the village, and it was not difficult to get a few rabbits.
The second stunned puff for a long time, felt a little tired, and shouted to the old accountant to let the old accountant feel if he had beaten it clean.
When the old accountant heard Er's greeting, he turned around and asked Erji to stop the mallet, and reached out to touch and touch carefully back and forth on the cow egg boy, frowning as if he was still thinking about something.
"It's clean!" asked Ertun with confidence.
"It's clean!" the old accountant frowned and pondered for a long time before nodding his head to Er.
The two guys holding the rolling pin were already sweating profusely, and when they heard the old accountant say that they should let go of the rolling pin in their hands when they were beaten clean, the old accountant hurriedly stopped them and said, "Untie the small rope first, and then release it slowly." ”
The people untied the little rope and let go of the rolling pin, as the old accountant had said.
It doesn't take long to beat the cow egg boy is not what it used to be, and it is bulging like a full pig blister.
The second stunned and Ma Laosan untied the rope that tied the cow's legs, and the four legs of the cow were unwilling to move as if they were nailed.
Ma Laosan untied the rope around the cow's neck again, and put down the rope hanging from the cow's nose.
This yak no longer had the majesty of Zhao Daya, its four legs trembled, especially the two hind legs, trembling like a sieve when sifting chaff.
Ma Laosan dragged the ox by the nose to lead it back to the livestock shed, but it sat back and did not move, although the second stunned and whipped it with a whip behind it, it still did not mean to move its hind hooves.
"Let's hold it later, take care of the pain. The old accountant saw that Ma Laosan couldn't take the cow, so he said a word to Ma Laosan.
It's not a problem, there were originally only two fist-sized cow egg boys swollen as big as half a basket at this time, rubbing the crotch of the two hind legs, as long as its hind legs moved slightly, it would naturally hurt.
"Zhao Daya injured the cow, and I have to find a ploughing style, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to miss the farming time. Ma Lao Er looked at the cow and said, "When I bought this cow, I only saw that it was strong, but I didn't expect him to be a person, and I can't count on it for spring sowing this year." ”
"Captain Ma, I'm going home to call the dog to pick up the rabbit? Our dog has short front legs and long back legs, and he can run much faster than a rabbit. The second person next to him was stunned and saw that there was nothing wrong with standing here, and immediately thought of what Ma Lao Er said just now. He looked at Ma Lao Er and asked.
"Whose dog doesn't have short front legs and long hind legs!" Ma Laosan, who was standing there holding the cow rope and did not move, couldn't help but pouted and smiled when he heard the words, and said, "The front legs are shorter than the hind legs, and there is also a bench for Chen Guozhong to push the planer." ”
"you, that's better. The second stunned saw Ma Laosan laughing at him, rolled his eyes at Ma Laosan and said, "Haven't you seen that dog in my house? ”
Ma Lao Er smiled and looked at the second stunned, the second stunned did not contribute to the production team today, at this time, let him be stunned and go home to call the dog and the rabbit. He was stunned and said, "Call a few more dogs, you can hand over two rabbits today, and you can go home and keep it for your family." ”
The second was stunned and got Ma Laoer's promise, slapped his ass with both hands, and jumped up and went home to call the dog and the rabbit.
