Chapter 42: The Old Man's Association
After eating, Lao Dao patted his ass and went to study his bunch of classics. Saburo took a small copper cymbal (sound bo) out of nowhere, knocked it there, and made a fuss at him at three o'clock. Then he ran to the backyard and struck the cymbals so hard that the chickens and ducks ran away, and there was a mess, but he stood aside and laughed.
Then he ran to the house to change the small drum and beat it there, Le Lang looked at it and smiled bitterly, this thing must have been given to him by Lao Dao, this Lao Dao, typical of eating and having nothing to do. Le Lang packed up his things before calling San Lang to sleep, he usually has the habit of taking a nap at noon.
After waking up, Le Lang went to mow the grass, after the winter, the grass became less and less, so Le Lang asked Lao Qi to help him go to the town to carry a few bags of soybean meal and wheat bran to feed the sheep, sometimes mixed with grass, although it is winter now, but there is still some grass in some more sheltered valleys.
The two lambs are getting bigger and bigger, it is estimated that they are the size of adult sheep after the Chinese New Year, and they are particularly docile, once the naughty San Lang sat on the back of the sheep, the sheep did not run or jump, just "bleating" barking.
After coming back from mowing the grass, it was already more than four o'clock, and Lelang walked to the backyard. Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been dry, and there has not been half a drop of rain, but fortunately, Lelang has brought the spring water down, otherwise he will suffer from just picking water to water the vegetables. Seeing Le Lang come in, those chickens and ducks thought it was dinner time and suddenly surrounded them, and went straight to Le Lang's side, making him cry and laugh.
I finally drove these things away, and then I came to the vegetable patch with the watering things, only to see that the vegetable patch was dry and there was no water at all. Generally he watered at night, once a day, why? Because I am not free in the morning, I have to sleep in the morning, how can I be free! It is not suitable for watering at noon, but it is also strange that he grows vegetables in such a mess, these vegetables are still growing well, especially the sunflower vegetables he bought from the market, which are even more green and green, stubble by stubble, and watery.
It's not a good thing for Le Lang to grow too well, because he can't eat it all, and he will get old if he stays in the ground, which is a pity, and Le Lang thinks about whether to get some to sell in the market. In order to facilitate everyone to buy things, the village specially opened up a piece of land between Xiaoxi Village and Linjia Village to make a market, and the people in the village can sell it there as long as they pay a little land apportionment, and the land apportionment fee is terrible, as long as five cents, one piece, and the meat seller is a little more expensive, I heard that it seems to be two or three yuan, and it used to be cheaper, as long as one or two cents.
The money is not collected by the village, but by the elders of the two villages taking turns to collect it, and they not only collect the money but also manage the market and do hygiene, otherwise they will not agree to take the money and do not do anything. After watering, Le Lang looked back and saw San Lang and Lao Dao sitting on the threshold with a big pear and eating.
Lao Dao's disciples and grandchildren are also filial, and they send some fruits and vegetables every once in a while, and sometimes they buy some meat and bags of rice, and let Le Lang help take good care of him. made Le Lang so angry that he wanted to kick them away, and it was reasonable to buy fruit and come over, and even sent vegetables, meat and rice, isn't this a slap in the face? This old man, some of them eat well, and they take care of it, and he took care of my little hen when he first came.
In the past few days, San Lang has been familiar with him under the double temptation of eating and playing things, and he can't be more familiar with him, and when he meets, he will call Lao Dao Grandpa and Lao Dao Grandpa sweetly, Le Lang sees this, and is very disdainful of Lao Dao.
Walking next to the two of them, the two of them sat on the threshold and just blocked the door to enter the house, Le Lang was about to step over, but saw San Lang didn't know that there was a big pear there: "Uncle Ah Lang, Uncle Ah Lang, eat pears, this pear is sweet." ”
Le Lang touched San Lang's head with relief, took a bite of the pear, and said, "It's still good to San Lang, unlike some people." Then Shi Shiran walked over, and some of the people who said it were self-evident, and Huang Laodao listened to it and directly filtered it, and continued to destroy the big pear over there.
Back in the house, Le Lang sat on the chair and made tea, before his buttocks were hot, Lao Qi came to the door, still holding the big flag in the village, followed by several old men in the village, and the old man and the old taro in the village were listed among them.
Seeing this situation, Le Lang hurriedly stood up, quietly walked in front of Lao Qi, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Lao Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I went to the temple to get the big flag and came to train, these old men had to come over to have a look, I think I was afraid that I would abduct the flag." ”
"Say what?" Before Lao Qi finished speaking, his head was hit hard, and Le Lang turned his head to see that it was Lao Qi's grandfather.
The old man who watched the temple in the village heard that Lao Qi was going to practice with a big flag, so he gave it to him without saying a word, but he still cautiously told him to be careful, his grandfather happened to see it in the temple, so he wanted to come and have a look, and he brought a few others with him.
"Grandpa, Gongzu, old taro, come inside to do it," he said, and enthusiastically invited a few old people to the chairs to sit down.
"Ah Lang, I heard that you are going to dance the flag this year, right?" Gongzu on the side asked Le Lang on crutches.
"Yes, everyone said, since you're back, let's get together and have a good time."
"Then you have to dance well, now those juniors are becoming more and more disagreeable, what are they dancing like, so this year the village and our old people's association plan to take a little money out as a reward, as long as you can take the big flag dance, and it will be like this every year in the future." Although my husband's ancestors are old, they are physically strong and speak loudly.
If you want to talk about these old people in the village, there is a way to make money, such as the old taro, when there is nothing to do, he catches some fish and shrimp and sells them in the market, and now this market is not only bought and sold by the two villages, but even some towns and counties will come to buy. In the words of the old people in the village, there is a lot of food to do these years.
Xiaoxi Village is located under Dayu Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, the folk customs are simple, like a paradise in general, so some people like to go to this kind of countryside to breathe fresh air during the holiday period, if you are lucky, you can also hear the old people organize a troupe to practice music at the temple entrance, and then take some rural farmhouse dishes back by the way after shopping.
In addition to planting vegetables and fishing, the old people in the village also go up the mountain to pick mountain goods when the season comes, such as pine nuts and cone chestnuts, fungus, and mushrooms planted by Lelang, and these things can be brought down the mountain to get a lot of money. When these old people were fine, they also organized a Nanyin troupe by themselves, hanging in the name of the village, several old people beat gongs and drums, played the flute and played the strings, the level was good, and people were often invited to perform, I heard that some people invited them to Taiwan to perform, and I don't know if these old men played it.
