Chapter 32 Although the noble and the lowly are arrogant, who says that the world is thin and cold

It's so hard to be alone,

The scolding was clumsy, and the husband ignored me.

Mistaken for the arable land in heaven,

Rush to the jade world to be a farmer.

This Fan Ermao came back from the door and went into the kitchen to help the widow cook. After the widow finished wrapping the dumplings, she asked Ermao to cook a few more dishes, cleaned them up, and asked Fan Ermao to bring the dishes to the table in the hall. This Fan Ermao put the dishes neatly one by one, came back and helped the aunt to burn the dumplings, and soon the dumplings came out of the pot, and the widow asked Ermao to take two bowls of dumplings to the square table in the hall first, and put two pairs of chopsticks on the bowl, and the widow put them in the kitchen and followed them into the hall.

The widow went into the hall to see that Ermao had been placed neatly, and she was satisfied. Go inside and change into clean clothes, then walk out and come to the bar. He took out three sticks of sandalwood, returned to the square table, lit candles, lit sandalwood, folded his hands and bowed to the main hall, and said silently: "Today, on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will come to worship the gods in the church, first to worship God, then to the Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, and then to the gods of the family." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed, burned paper money, turned around and said to Ermao: "Let go of the cannon." ”

Seeing this, Fan Ermao hurriedly ran out of the door and set off the cannon.

With the sound of a cannon, the widow here also burned the offering paper, stood up, picked up the dumpling bowl, ordered three points in front of the table, and recited in her mouth: "Respect the heavens, respect the earth, respect the Bodhisattva, respect the God of Wealth, and respect the God of the family." Then he walked to the door and recited the same words: "Respect the heavens, respect the earth, respect the Bodhisattva, respect the God of Wealth, and respect the God of the family." He ordered three more o'clock dumpling soup in the bowl, turned around and came to the square table again, picked up another bowl of dumplings as he had just done, put the dishes and chopsticks on the small square table, looked outside the door and shouted, "Ermao, it's time to eat." ”

This Fan Ermao listened, hurriedly entered the house, walked to the square table, moved out of the small square table, and moved the food to the small table. This godlines, and these sermons. Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, he only watched the widow and aunt sit down, he dared to sit down, and before he could sit down, he heard the widow say: "Ermao, go get a bottle of wine, for the New Year, let's have a drink."

"Yes, auntie." This Ermao hurriedly went to get the wine, and thought to himself: Auntie is happy today, I haven't seen my aunt so happy as today in the past few days, okay, I'll accompany my aunt to drink some tonight, thinking that Ermao went to the wine and brought the wine glass.

This Fan Ermao came back with the wine, opened the wine, filled the wine, looked at the widow and said, "Auntie, don't drink too much." ”

"Auntie knows. It's just that in the past two years, life has been better, your brother is angry and has gone to school, the family is getting better and better year by year, my aunt is happy today, let's drink some. ”

"Since my aunt is happy, I'll sing you a little tune."

"What tune can you sing?"

"Look at what my aunt said, although I said that learning to tell a book is half-hearted, but I want to rap a few short paragraphs, but I have the ability to beg for food."

"You sing those jokes, there are few good ones."

"Ah, auntie, there is no guy in this house, the guy is in the uncle's house. I'll just bang my chopsticks on the table and sing a cappella. ”

This Fan Ermao spoke, knocked on the table, and sang in a broken voice.

"Let's sing a rare thing this day,

You'll find it interesting.

If you want to ask me what I want to sing today,

Let me mention such a pretty woman first.

This beautiful woman is in her twenties,

If you want to say how good this beautiful woman looks like,

Speaking of which, you've never seen anyone so handsome.

One look makes you want to spend a lifetime,

Look at the second glance so that you can lose your soul,

If you can really see it three times,

It is not tasteful to ask you to eat and drink tea.

The listener is out of tune,

He who sleeps until midnight stares at his eyes,

The walking saw that the tendon of the neck was broken,

Under the soles of his feet are like riding on the clouds,

If you want to ask what disease this is,

You look at the beauty three times is the root of the disease.

This beauty,

Not only does it look good,

He is also a superior person in dealing with people,

There's just one thing that doesn't go as planned,

The newly deceased husband became a widow and a lonely man.

This day I will tell you about widows,

Sing a little widow who gets drunk late at night and meets the true God.

……”

This Fan Ermao knocked on the edge of the table and sang. The widow began to listen impatiently, and the more she listened, the more interested she became, and she became desolate without realizing that she had entered the play. This Fan Ermao was singing energetically, and when he saw that the widow's aunt's expression had changed, he quickly stopped the chopsticks in his hand and stopped singing. Asked, "Auntie, don't you like to hear it?" ”

"I like it, you keep singing, I just listened to the words and remembered your uncle at home." The widow said and rubbed her eyes.

"Auntie, don't sing, let's drink, and you'll be willing to listen to me sing later." Ermao said, and raised the wine glass to toast the widow.

"Auntie, you see that I really can't choose a tune, I haven't finished singing a minor tune, and I see that my aunt's good mood has run away. Give me a drink. This Fan Ermao said that he punished himself with one cup, and then toasted the widow and aunt with two cups. The widow took it and drank it politely, and said, "Ermao, look at what you kid says." In the past, when you didn't come, every New Year, your brother and I celebrated the New Year, my mother and I were staring at each other, sitting in this room to eat, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to sleep, and they felt that there was no New Year's flavor. Since you came, it's been so long, we haven't sat down to have a stable meal together, tonight we sit here to eat and drink, the child is good, let's let go of the drink. You'll sing it later, I'll listen to it weirdly. Why does it sound like singing aunt me? ”

"Auntie, I'll punish myself with another drink. You see, I'm really out of the woods, so why did I sing this song. As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it. After drinking, he gave it to the widow and the aunt. He said, "Auntie, I'll sing you another tune later." The two of them drank three rounds, and they couldn't help but talk more, so they heard the widow say: "Ermao, don't change it, I listen to it weirdly and well, just like singing me." ”

"Yes, I'll sing later, auntie."

"Ermao, if you want to say that this is the New Year, that is, our people will find a day to be poor and happy for a long year. In the winter, the heavy snow closes the door, buy some delicious food and sit at home to enjoy the harvest of the year. Now that this man is free, his life is much better. It is also common for people to have a reunion dinner at home on Chinese New Year's Eve, and after tonight and tomorrow, they will start visiting relatives and contacting feelings. This tradition is the experience accumulated by ordinary people in life, and it is great wisdom. Let's just say that when you sing this little song, it is the parents of people in life, and it is easy to listen to. Didn't we all listen to books for cultural entertainment in the past? Tonight, I will listen to you sing and drink, and I will rest when I get drunk. ”

"Yes, auntie, I'll sing it to you again."

Just listen to Ermao sing next:

"To say that this widow is good-looking,

It's just that the heart is as high as the straw rope.

Tighten a tight three-foot straw as a rope,

Loose a handful of straw fluttering.

The widow is new, and her husband is troubled.

Speaking of which, the husband came to scold a few times.

Thinking about the words of the matchmaker,

When I arrived at your house, I didn't have a trace of you every three winters, well.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, the parents decided,

When I come to your house, I will do filial piety there.

You shouldn't have left me in the ground,

Leave my orphans and widows alone to earn a living on my own.

Speaking of which,

You have made a vow,

I wish to go west with me for the rest of my life.

Within a few years,

Thou hast left me alone to go west to enjoy,

Leave me to suffer in the world.

Scold and complain about your good go,

Leave my mother and son to suffer, hmm.

scolded and complained that you left early,

You shouldn't have left your son, you went to the west to find Leheng by yourself.

Over the years, my mother and son have endured a lot of hardships, well,

You close your eyes and ignore the vastness and ruthlessness of the world.

I made up my mind to find you a few times,

I still think that my son has no career.

……”

This Fan Ermao sang desolately, and saw that the widow also had tears rippling when she heard the emotion, and she couldn't stop nodding. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the two women sang and drank, drank and sang, chatted, and drank until midnight.

Precisely:

Sing a little song on Chinese New Year's Eve,

Sing all the desolation and loneliness.

Tears down the glass of wine,

Sympathy for the same disease.

This widow does not drink alcohol on weekdays, and this indulgent drinking, how can it be good, and she will inevitably be drunk. This Fan Ermao saw that the widow's aunt drank too much wine, and he didn't dare to let the widow drink anymore, how could the widow follow, but mortals drank to eighty percent, and they didn't think the wine was spicy. This Ermao saw that it was not early, so he said: "Auntie, it's late, go to bed." ”

"Ermao, it's rare for the two of us to sit down and drink together, drink, and have another drink." The widow took it and drank it.

"Ah, yes, don't drink, auntie, don't drink." The two mao stepped forward and snatched the wine glass from the widow's hand, and drank it himself. Then he went up and helped the widow back to the house to sleep, and the widow was glaring, blushing, stiffening her neck, and reaching out for the wine. This Ermao hurried to stop it, and the widow slapped Ermao on the back of his hand, and drank the wine when he grabbed it. This Ermao thought: It seems that my aunt is really drunk and can't drink anymore. Thinking about it, I went to support my aunt to get up. The widow did not comply, scolded Ermao in her mouth, and went to get the wine in her hand. Ermao saw that it was not a solution, so he pulled his aunt up, and then grabbed the widow's waist from behind and dragged her into the inner room. Now that I have a comfortable life, I don't depend on my mother, you don't let me drink, you bastard heart let the dog eat. ”

This Ermao let her scold, picked up the widow and went to the back room, how could the widow twist this young and strong man, she had to let Ermao, her mouth was not idle, and she scolded fiercely.

When he arrived at the bed, Ermao put the widow on the bed, the widow did not follow, struggling to get up, this Ermao had to take off the widow's shoes, so that the widow could lie on the bed, just attached to the body, who knew that the widow tossed the wine up, "wow" spit out, just from the front of the Ermao head vomited, splashed Ermao head and body, this Ermao also couldn't take care of it, let the widow and aunt vomit, quickly took off the widow's shoes and put the aunt on the bed. He turned around and went to find a basin and brought cold water, brought a towel, and saw that the widow was almost vomiting, and attached herself to the widow's back and pounded it for a while. The widow was drunk, and after this toss, she could not help but feel pain in her belly, and sorrow began in her heart, so that tears fell down her eyes, and she began to weep aloud, as if the desolation of a lifetime was now released.

This cry scared Ermao, I don't know what to do, where I stood and thought: My aunt is also strong on the outside and weak on the inside, just as pitiful as me. Thinking about it, I was also sad, so I scrubbed my aunt with a wet towel with water, and let my aunt cry bitterly, and the widow cried with snot and tears, and scolded Ermao in her mouth.

This Ermao's heart is also sour, really:

The cold wind blows through the front window,

The sorrowful singing spread far away.

Although the noble and the lowly are arrogant,

Who says that the world is thin and there is no warmth.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, the two of them cried after laughter, where to stir up dust. Seeing that in the second half of the night, the two mao took care of the widow and aunt, saw that the crying was subdued, and waited to take off his coat and pull the quilt to cover the aunt. Then he cleaned up his head, took off his stained coat, and sat on the edge of the bed to reflect on the experience of coming to his aunt's house. After a while, he turned his face to see that his aunt's voice was getting up, and he wanted to get up and go back to the house to rest.

As soon as Ermao stood up, he saw the widow suddenly sit up, hugged Ermao by her waist, and cried again. This Fan Ermao was unable to hold this sudden package and fell to the bed, and saw the widow holding Ermao and holding it in her arms, this Ermao could only lie down beside the widow, the widow was still crying, Ermao had no idea, only was hugged by the widow and lay beside the widow.

This Fan Ermao was hugged by the widow and aunt, and he didn't dare to come out, listening to the widow and aunt scolding Ermao, and scolding the dead man, scolding and crying, crying and scolding, tears rippling, so not sad.

This Fan Ermao has long lost his mother, and he has long lost the warmth of maternal love, and now he is embraced by a widow and aunt, and he seems to have found a mother-like love, a warm current wells up in his heart, and he doesn't realize that two lines of tears flowed out.

The widow tossed for half the night, released the pent-up depression in her heart, and gradually fell asleep with the strength of the wine.

This Fan Ermao saw that the widow and aunt were asleep, and did not dare to move, for fear of waking up the widow and aunt, thinking about the gentle mother and the sweet milk of the mother, and unconsciously fell asleep in the warm embrace of the widow and aunt, with a smile on her face, tears flowing down her cheeks.

There was nothing to say this night, and on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, this Fan Ermao woke up, rubbed his eyes, and saw that he was lying on his aunt's bed, covered with a quilt, and saw that there was no aunt on the bed, and remembered what happened last night, so he quickly got up and went to the hall to find the widow's aunt, and when he saw that there was no one in the hall, he turned around and went to the kitchen, where the widow was making breakfast. Ermao stepped forward and said, "Auntie, why are you up so early, how are you?" ”

Seeing that the widow was as usual, she saw Ermao coming over and said, "Don't put on the new clothes I bought for you, and go to the neighbor's house to visit the New Year after breakfast, I've been here for so long, I don't usually move around, and you don't walk around during the New Year?" ”

"Yes, auntie, I'll help you make the pot, and I'll go change your clothes later."

"I don't need your help, you go wash your face and change your clothes."

Seeing that her aunt was fine, Ermao went to wash her face and put on new clothes.

Is:

Lonely weeds grow on the roadside,

Grow proudly and welcome the spring breeze.

Stormy horseshoe trompe,

After the storm, I am arrogant.
