Chapter 13: Touched
Da Zhuang and Grandpa Qiao'er came back from the field, they put the carriage in the production team, and hurried home.
When the two of them washed their faces, Qiao'er Niang scalded the wine.
"At noon, Lao Yao's family brought a few sparrows, and we were not willing to eat them, so we kept them for you to eat," Qiao'er Niang said happily in front of the men.
The man who is sent in the morning goes, and the man who waits for the night returns; The life of the old and young mother and child of the family, looking forward to returning at night. This is a true portrayal of the life of every family at that time, and as a housewife, the burden in her heart is greater than that of men!
"The dog has the rest of the work, no one else but this kid." Grandpa Qiao'er glanced at the sparrow and said.
"Later, I figured out that it must be this kid, such a lot of pigweed, Jianye and Jianhong can't get it back! His aunt brought the sparrows, and I haven't tasted it yet. I had been thinking about this when I went to work in the fields in the afternoon, and suddenly this guy appeared in my head, grandma's, this guy must have skipped school again, and led them out to run wild! It was almost noon before I panicked to mow the grass, and the grass I put on the edge of the field must have been discovered by them, and when I came back, the grass was gone! Qiao'er Niang's eyes were chirping, and her eyebrows were dancing to tell the story that happened during the day!
"Are you training your children again? Children, it's just when you're playful, just talk about it, don't be stupid all day long, it's not good for the child's growth! Da Zhuang said: "What's wrong with the dogs?" I saw a big pile of grass, if it weren't for the dogs, would they be able to carry it back? Everything has to be divided into two, it's your own reason, are others still alive? ”
"How do you know I'm reprimanding them?" Qiao Erniang said unhappily.
"Just you? Everything is written on your face, and you are still talking to your father! Da Zhuang glanced at his wife and said.
"I'm going to prepare dry food for you tomorrow." It was originally the child's fault, but the two big men counted down and fell on themselves, Qiao'er Niang said with a face full of unhappiness.
"No need, I won't go tomorrow, take a day off." Grandpa Qiao'er said.
"Give, pay." Da Zhuang took out a wad of money from his cloth pocket and said.
Qiao'er Niang counted, a total of one piece, a lot, this is their extra money when they go out to earn extra money! Qiao'er Niang neatly stacked the money, opened the drawer, carefully put it in the innermost, then closed the drawer, hung the lock, and locked it again with a "click", with a brilliant face, and instantly lost the grievance and dissatisfaction just now!
"Is Da Zhuang back?" As soon as the two men picked up their wine glasses, before they touched their lips, they heard a question from the courtyard.
"Captain! It's the captain's voice! Qiao Er Niang said.
"Hurry up, hurry up and welcome the house!" Grandpa Qiao'er said.
"Yo, isn't this Captain? What's going on today! Qiao'er Niang picked up the curtain with her hand and greeted her with a smile on her face.
"What? Can't I come? Not welcome? Captain Ma said. Da Zhuang and his father go out early and return late every day, and they don't have a chance to meet the captain, if the captain has something, they can only come to the house at night to find them.
"Look at what the captain said, please don't come there! Come on, they've just arrived home, and the stool hasn't been on yet! Qiao Er Niang said.
"Captain, come, come, sit down, you're still here, sit down and drink a few cups!" Grandpa Qiao'er said.
"No, no, I've eaten." Captain Ma waved his hand and said.
"Come on, I can't catch up once in eight lifetimes, there are meat dishes!" Da Zhuang pulled Captain Ma down in front of the dining table.
"Then it's hard to resist!" Captain Ma had no choice but to sit down.
After a glass of wine, Captain Ma opened the conversation box and said, "It's really hard for you to let you run away all these years!" There is no handlebar on the team, and my brother is also old, so you have to work hard for this big car! ”
"Hey, don't you see the outside world if you say that, isn't it right to contribute to the team and build socialism! Besides, I'm going to call a car, and I can't do anything else! Da Zhuang said.
"Don't hold up, just say a word if you can't do it, Da Zhuang has been with you for so many years, it's time to take the lead!" Captain Ma glanced at Da Zhuang and said.
"Just him? After all these years with me, I haven't seen him grow! Da Zhuang's father said with a blank look.
"But good days are coming! The brigade department is studying equipping each of our production teams with a tractor, and then your brother will be completely liberated! The big man is strong and has a flexible mind, let him go out for training for a few days, and he will soon master the technique, so that he will be the first tractor driver on our team! Captain Ma said happily!
"Really, Captain? That's great, that guy doesn't change ten horses! Here, Captain, let's have a toast! "This can make Da Zhuang happy, he has been looking forward to this day for a long time! He's been running out all day, he's seen that thing, it's "sudden", it's strong, it's much faster than a horse!
"It's useless!" Da Zhuang Dad muttered coldly. He has driven a cart all his life, he knows the temperament of cattle best, no matter how fierce the horse is in his hands, he has to be docile like a sheep, let it run, it dare not stand, let it stand, he will not dare to go! Tractors, shit! There is black smoke coming from behind the buttocks, and I don't know when it catches fire, and then it depends on where you run, how can it compare to my horse!
Da Zhuang Dad said so, but his heart was still lost! He had also seen that thing, it was indeed better than a carriage, but he was not convinced, it was a mule or a horse that had the ability to pull it out for a walk! Hum!
The more Da Zhuang Dad thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels, he is getting older, he can't fiddle with those foreign things, and when the time comes, he will be outdated, and no one will take him as a trick! He picked up his wine glass, raised his neck vigorously, and drank one!
"Haha, big brother, are you unhappy? Don't be like this, I know you're an idle person, don't worry, when the time comes, the carriage will still be yours, you can call it however you want, isn't it okay? Captain Ma was relieved.
"Dad, you're all this age, don't do it when the time comes, it's time to rest, what are you doing with them to treat that anger, people can't accept old age!" Qiao'er Niang was relieved when she saw that the old man was unhappy.
"Yes, yes, you have been strong all your life, everyone thinks of your goodness, how good it is to take care of your life!" After Captain Ma finished speaking, he looked at the alarm clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late, I should go back." Also, I'm here to tell you a little bit today, this, this ......."
"If you have something, just say it! It's all their own family, what do they have to say. Da Zhuang said.
Captain Ma glanced at Qiao'er's mother and said, "Okay, then I'll say it." Some people have reported this, saying that you are doing private work outside and making private money......"
"Fuck the stinking fart! Who is so lacking in virtue to sue us for being black! The old man of our family has driven a car all his life, contributed to the country for a lifetime, and in the end he ended up with a black hat, he is not a person, he lacks eight generations of virtue, and he can't grow eyes when he gives birth to your mother and child! "Once Qiao Erniang's big voice is opened, it is like a second kick that is lit, and it can be heard all over the street!
"Look at your quick temper, big sister, do you know why I came to your house? I just thought, what did you say, just pay attention in the future, you have a lot of children, even if you make some extra money, I will turn a blind eye and pass, I just remind you, you see you light the cannon and go off, how do you let me open my mouth?! Captain Ma shook his head and said helplessly.
"No! Whoever said let me swallow it back from my belly......"
"Roar, roar, you know roar! I'm afraid that others won't hear it, what's wrong? The captain is well-intentioned, and if you have nothing to do, you can do something about it! Get out, go to Lao Yao and sit back, there is no heart and no lungs! Da Zhuang reprimanded his wife!
"You know that you can take me out of anger, and you have the ability to rush outside!" Qiao'er's mother lifted the curtain and wiped her tears and went out!
"Look at you, I'm afraid she's screaming, isn't it okay to find trouble?" Captain Ma said helplessly.
"Captain, who doesn't know her bullshit, don't be like her, tell us something." Da Zhuang said.
"That's what I mean when I come to the house, it's a big thing to a small thing, if you put it aside a few years ago, you won't cut your tail? Now it's loose, turn a blind eye, everyone can get by, you see this is a mess! Captain Ma sighed and said, "Pay attention in the future, so as not to gossip about others, I'm leaving!" ”
