Chapter Ninety-Six: The Grass Hut
"Little brother, there are so many of us, let's build a bigger shack, or we won't be able to live in it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yang Hailong excitedly proposed on the side, there were not so many people who built a shack with the little brother before, and it was the first time that so many people played together, but he was very happy, plus Ma Xiaodong was the leader, he was the deputy leader, under one person, above more than a dozen people, and the absolute position was high.
Ma Xiaodong looked at the children around him, at least sixteen or seventeen, the oldest was himself, the youngest was only three or four years old, and he was still wearing open crotch pants, and little JJ was still fluttering in the wind. It's not easy to get a shack that can fit so many people, but it's interesting to have a challenge, and I haven't played the game of building a shack for many years, so this time it's just a good time to experience it again, besides, after the shack is built, I have a place to go for a date with the little girl in winter.
The shack where the straw is ridden is definitely not cold in winter, just suitable for the two to date secretly, the only drawback is that there is no fire here.
"Okay, you go and take a few of them to find a pole, preferably a longer wooden pole, if there are not enough wooden poles, use the pole (the stem of the sunflower). "The purpose of finding a long wooden pole is to make a beam on the roof. Then he instructed a few children to build a wall with straw, which was very strong and very easy to collapse. Therefore, it is better to nail a wooden stick into the ground to block the straw from collapsing on both sides.
After more than a dozen children finished their work, Ma Xiaodong began to lay grass on the ground, and there were many people who could do things, and after a while, the children who found wood returned one after another. The countryside is backering, there are not many other things, and there are definitely a lot of wooden sticks.
So Ma Xiaodong began to build a fence, because he was building a shack against a haystack, so he only needed to build a fence on both sides, leaving a door on one side. Since the wood is not high, the fence is not high, only less than two meters, but this is definitely enough, and it is not really a house.
Everyone giggled together to get the fence right, and began to lay the wool poles and straw found on the roof, a simple shack is finished, as long as the front door is cleaned up, it is OK, hold a few piles of straw, put the door in gear, and complete the completion. This shack sits north and faces south, with clear water flowing in front and back against the mountain, an absolute feng shui treasure and the best place for a date.
As soon as the shack was set up, a group of bear children rushed inside, Ma Xiaodong was afraid that they would collapse the shack he had designed with great difficulty, so he hurriedly stopped it and arranged for them to get into it one by one in an orderly manner.
Although this shack is not big, but the children do not take up space, after sixteen or seventeen children get in, Ma Xiaodong looks at the room where there is still room.
"Little brother, bring the soda, I was so thirsty from the work just now. As soon as he entered the shack, Yang Haidong, who was greedy, couldn't wait to ask Ma Xiaodong for soda, and Ma Xiaodong brought the two bottles of soda, but he had been thinking about it for a long time. Yang Haidong is from Ma Xiaodong's uncle's family, five years younger than Ma Xiaodong, just nine years old this year, and in the second grade.
Ma Xiaodong was also thirsty, took out the soda, bit it open with his teeth, drank two sips by himself, and handed it to his little cousin, Yang Haidong did not dislike it, he picked it up and poured it into his mouth. Seeing that the children next to him were all swallowing saliva expressions, Ma Xiaodong smiled and opened the remaining bottles of soda, a total of five bottles of soda, let them take turns to drink.
So these bear children began to quarrel over who drank more and who drank less, and occasionally Ma Xiaodong had to be the referee for them, which made Ma Xiaodong have a headache, and he was too lazy to break the lawsuit for them, and the freshness of playing with the shack had passed, so he got out of it.
As soon as he got out of the shack, he heard a "pop" inside, as if the bottle was broken, Ma Xiaodong was anxious, it would be bad if he hurt any child, he took it to play, and finally got hurt, so the old mother didn't clean herself up?
Hurriedly got into the shack, "What's the matter?" Seeing that no one seemed to be injured, Ma Xiaodong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Yang Hailong pointed at Yang Haidong and complained: "It's him, he has to rob me, but the two bottles collided together and broke one." ”
When Ma Xiaodong heard this, he didn't have the heart to deal with these two embarrassing cousins, so he said angrily: "Come out for me, be careful with the glass ballast." "When the glass shatters, it's invisible if it falls into the straw laid on the ground, but whoever sits on it will be sure to break his butt.
Seeing that the children were all out of it intact, and I was almost at dinner time, so I took them all back to the house, and watched the shack I had just built scrapped because of a broken glass, and my heart was suddenly angry.
Ma Xiaodong is also unproductive, so I haven't heard of anyone asking girls to go to the grass hut. Of course, it is not for nothing, some men and women in the countryside will choose this kind of place when they secretly do things, which saves money for opening a house and stimulates it.
Back at home, Ma Xiaodong found a pair of poker and threw it to these bear children and let them play by themselves, but they got rid of these oil bottles and found a corner to talk to the little girl.
Ma Xiaodong didn't know that as soon as he left the shack with those children, someone went in to take a look, and after coming out and rounding with another person, he walked to the side and began to mumble, not knowing what secrets were discussed.
The time has just passed 12 noon, Ma Xiaodong's grain has been collected into the warehouse, the year's harvest is considered to be back at home, and there is no need to worry about a little radish and cabbage, and you can harvest it when the frost falls.
After the work is done, the big meal that has been prepared for the morning can also be served on the table, and everyone was surprised to see the plates of chicken, duck and fish meat served on the table.
"Hey, Lao Ma, you really have invested in it, this banquet, it's about to catch up with someone else's marriage, right?" A table of eight people and 16 dishes, both meat and vegetarian, hot and cold, is indeed about to catch up with the ordinary family's wedding banquet.
"Just this dish, it is definitely the first one in ten miles and eight villages, it seems that Lao Ma, you are really rich, and you are really bright. ”
The big guy squirts out like he doesn't want money. Ma Xiaodong obviously found that his father's mouth couldn't be closed, looking at the red face, it was obvious that his vanity was greatly satisfied. seems to have forgotten how he was cleaned up by his daughter-in-law last night, and he didn't dare to say a word.
However, Ma Xiaodong fully understands his father, Northeast people have a good face, especially in the rural areas of Northeast China, sometimes it is inevitable to slap a swollen face and become fat. But fortunately, my family is fat, so I don't have to swell my face.
The big guys ate and drank, and the wine and food were sufficient, and they drank until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, so they went home one by one, and it was estimated that they would not be able to do any work in the afternoon. Ma Xiaodong's father also drank too much, lying on the kang and falling asleep, leaving Ma Xiaodong and his mother and eldest sister to clean up the messy home. What Ma Xiaodong needed to do was to return all the tables, chairs and benches that he had borrowed, but fortunately he had a group of boy scouts, and with a wave of his hand, the army of food and drink set off to help him work, while he lay down and looked lazy.
How do you know that as soon as you lie down, there will be guests at home, and you have no choice but to get up again, the person who came is the 'big buried' mother Su Hongying, she is Su Yubao's aunt, stingy and improper, the so-called impropriety, is often with other men to drill haystacks, but she is Liu Jiang's mother, Ma Xiaodong can't help but say hello.
As soon as Su Hongying entered the door, Ma Xiaodong's mother saw it and asked suspiciously, "Hongying, why are you here?
Su Hongying, frowned, sighed and said: "I was injected in the hospital, the doctor didn't let me come back, he said that he would come back after a week, and it cost more than three thousand yuan on this day, and the doctor said that he would get seven or eight thousand a week, and my family's money was not enough, so I would like to come to your house to borrow some." ”
Yang Guizhi frowned when he heard that he was borrowing money, to be honest, the relationship between the two families is average, but no matter how he says it, they live in the same village, and Liu Zhibin is honest, he is a good person, and he doesn't have to worry about not paying back the money he borrowed. "Actually, Ma Xiaodong's money is all at home, but you can't say that.
When Su Hongying heard this, she said with a grateful face: "Five thousand is enough, there is still a little at home, Honglin can give me that little, how can 10,000 yuan be enough." "If I want to say anything about the place in my Great Heavenly Empire, then I will tell you solemnly, it is the hospital.
There is an ironic joke: saying that a local tyrant came to another city, took a taxi, and in the car, belittled the city, and said that it was useless, and the brother was very angry when he heard it, and interrupted him, "Sir, you just say where you went, don't say anything else." ”
The local tyrant waved his hand arrogantly, "Just go to your place with the highest consumption" The brother driver sent him to the door of the hospital.
In fact, this time is not the most outrageous time for medical charges, the more outrageous it becomes, I remember that Ma Xiaodong's daughter-in-law had a cold in her previous life, and it was not good to take medicine at home, and finally went to the hospital, but she didn't get a shot, didn't take a piece of medicine, and the examination fee was spent more than 1,000 first, and Ma Xiaodong was so angry that she wanted to demolish the broken hospital.
Hearing that he only borrowed 5,000 yuan, Yang Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wait, it seems that the family can make up enough 5,000, I'll get it for you." Saying that, he walked into the house, Ma Xiaodong saw his mother count five thousand from a pile of money, and finally thought about it and threw back a few hundred, and then took the money to the outhouse.
Ma Xiaodong, who watched his mother's careful thinking, couldn't cry or laugh, but he could also understand that the so-called Shengmi En Dou Mi hatred, it was always right that his wealth was not exposed. Yang Guizhi took the money and looked at Su Hongying and said, "That's really embarrassing, there are only 4,500 yuan left at home, why don't I go to the bank and get you another 500?"
Su Hongying hurriedly said: "No, no, this is enough, I'll find a way to miss the few hundred yuan, and I'll write you an IOU." ”
"Well, good. Yang Guizhi didn't refuse, it was natural to borrow money to write an IOU, the two wrote the IOU, and Su Hongying left with a thousand thanks. Sending Su Hongying away, Yang Guizhi was triumphant for her own cleverness.
This matter has to make Ma Xiaodong sigh, the wisdom of our farmers is really great!
