Chapter 8: The Little Monkey Dedicates Himself
Chapter 8 After the little monkey dedicates himself to Zhang's father and leaves, the grandfather and grandson continue to play chess. In the final end, Zhang Xianjin lost to his second grandfather.
Zhang Xianjin invited the second grandfather to his home for dinner. The second grandfather was not humble either, and went home for dinner with Zhang Xianjian.
Father Zhang saw that his second uncle was really coming to start school, so he quickly took out a cup and filled it, and said, "Second uncle, sit down quickly, we haven't drunk together for a long time." ”
After Zhang's mother waited for the second uncle to sit down, she kept bringing the dishes to the table, and the second uncle said, "Today, the old man is here to eat a meal at your house." ”
Zhang Mu smiled: "Second uncle, what are you polite to me?" In the future, you have to come often, and we will honor your old man. ”
Father Zhang first toasted the second uncle and said, "Second uncle, I am very happy that you can come today, and I didn't toast your old man again." After Father Zhang finished speaking, he picked up the wine jug and poured another glass for the second uncle.
Zhang Xianjin said to his father: "Dad, the second grandfather is old, let the old man drink less." ”
Now the old man was reluctant, and said to Zhang Xianjian: "Cash, I don't like to hear what you say." Your second grandfather was notoriously powerful in the village. In the early days, when I was working in the fields, I wouldn't go out without alcohol. ”
Father Zhang said: "Your second grandfather is right, at that time, your second grandfather's kettle was filled with wine. Your second grandmother said at that time, isn't it just a pound of wine? Our family is better than a donkey. The first time I got drunk in my life was when I stole the wine from your second grandfather's kettle and slept on the ground for a day. ”
The second uncle stretched out his finger and tapped twice on the door of Zhang's father's head, sighed and said to the advanced: "Advanced, although you are a cultural person, you can never forget the matter of planting crops." Although they are all mechanized now, it was only with the hands of our farmers that we were able to feed our 40,000,000 people at that time. ”
Zhang Xianjin immediately nodded.
Zhang's mother sighed and said, "Second uncle, after our family graduates first, we plan to go home to farm." His father and I were worried. What kind of future do you think you can have in the end? Aren't you nesting in this ravine like us all your life? ”
The second grandfather picked up the wine glass and actually toasted Zhang Xianjin with a glass of wine, and said: "Child, if you make your own decision, you must stick to it, I believe that you can grow a piece of the world and lead everyone to make a fortune." ”
Speaking of this, the second uncle took a bite of food and said to Zhang's father and mother: "You two can't interfere too much with the child." Advanced, this is not forgetting the roots. He has not forgotten the land on which we lived. As long as the child does not commit adultery, the department does the same. ”
Father Zhang said anxiously: "Second uncle, there is no future in farming, how can you sit comfortably in the office?" ”
The second uncle was also anxious, and shouted: "Second dog, you are a fart." There is a saying about sitting in the office, and there is also a saying about farming when you go home. Sitting in the office is comfortable, but it is not necessarily more comfortable than farming at home. I don't understand this truth, you really lived in vain, and you don't even understand me as a bad old man. ”
Father Zhang wanted to say something more, but Mother Zhang stopped Father Zhang in time with a look in her eyes. Zhang's father was still aggrieved in his heart, but finally endured it.
Zhang Xianjin felt that what the second grandfather said was very reasonable, and took the initiative to raise the wine glass and give the second grandfather a glass.
The second uncle put down the wine glass and said to Zhang's mother: "Go first, you don't have to look at it." When you're full, what to do. ”
Zhang's mother knew that this meal was when the old men were drinking, and after she was full, she went to the crossing to weave cloth. The three grandparents and grandchildren continued to drink.
Zhang's father was already pregnant with a stomach, so he borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and lay on the bed after half a catty of wine, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.
Zhang's father's second uncle only said that Zhang's father was a waste, and he was drunk into a puddle of mud after half a catty of wine. grabbed Zhang Xianjian's arm and chattered for a while, and finally was helped to the bed by Zhang Xianjin and fell into a sweet sleep with Zhang's father.
Zhang Xianjin burped a drink, looked at his father and second grandfather with a smile, and muttered: "Dad, the reason why I went home to farm is why." Since God has given me this opportunity, I will definitely take advantage of it. You can rest assured. After saying that, he slowly walked into his room and went to sleep.
Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Zhang's mother stopped what she was doing and went into the house to see what was going on. After entering the house, Zhang's mother was surprised by a monkey standing on the table, eating and drinking. Under the table squatted a little greyhound, looking anxiously at the monkey.
Zhang's mother's eyes widened to make sure she wasn't mistaken. Then watch the monkey eat a mouthful of lettuce and drink a sip of wine, and then grab a handful and throw it to the little greyhound under the table to eat. A monkey and a dog feasted.
Mother Zhang looked at her snoring husband and second uncle again, and said to the little monkey, "Where are you from the little monkey?" ”
The little monkey bared his teeth and looked at Zhang's mother, as if he was laughing. The little greyhound glanced back, licked his lips and barked twice, as if urging the monkey to hurry up.
It was the first time for Zhang's mother to see a real monkey, and she thought it was fun and curious. Slowly walked to the little monkey's side and did it. Pick up an uneaten tomato and hand it to the little monkey.
The little monkey grinned and the tomato took a big bite, probably because the tomato was too sour, and the little monkey's face became distorted. When I swallow it, I smack my lips as if I like it very much. Then he ate again.
The little greyhound saw that he had nothing to eat, and barked anxiously again.
Zhang's mother was impartial and gave all the uneaten meat on the plate to the little greyhound.
After eating the tomatoes, the little monkey threw down the wine jug and went straight to Zhang Jinjian's room.
Mother Zhang saw it in her eyes and smiled in her heart, cleaned up the table neatly, and continued to weave.
After a while, the little monkey appeared in front of Zhang's mother again, and held two fruits in his little paw in front of Zhang's mother. It must have been for the tomatoes just now that I specially picked the fruit to thank Mother Zhang.
Mother Zhang happily picked up a fruit and ate it like a little monkey, and took a bite of it, the thick juice of the fruit overflowed the corners of her mouth, and the flesh felt unchewed when she ate it, and it was swallowed into her stomach as if it had melted. Mother Zhang felt as if she was intoxicated by the fruity fragrance, and couldn't help but eat it.
The little monkey watched Zhang's mother eat happily and was happy herself. He sat down on the wood of the loom, and raised his legs in the same way as a human being.
Mother Zhang had never produced such a delicious fruit, and after eating, she looked at the little monkey and said thank you.
The little monkey seemed a little shy and smiled. He handed the fruit in the paw to Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother knew that this monkey must have something to do with her son, so she took the fruit and ate it again.
In the blink of an eye, Mother Zhang first heard a pop, and followed the sound, Mother Zhang found that the little monkey had fallen from the loom to the ground, and had fallen asleep in the shape of a zigzag on the ground.
This is exactly what the grandfather said with good words, and the monkey repaid the favor with fruits.
