Chapter 10 Candy in Paper
"Does the dog of the old seven family give birth from time to time?" Zhang Bo said suddenly.
Well! There wasn't a single one in this group of little kids who didn't have their eyes rolling.
Zhang Shanhai's heart is also very lively, when he passed by Lao Qi's house a few days ago, their's belly was a lot bigger. That day, I also asked Lao Qi why their had such a fat belly. They couldn't stop laughing, it turned out that they were pregnant with a puppy.
Lao Qi's family already has two dogs, and now if they give birth to cubs, it is impossible to raise them all, and they will definitely be sent out. However, this old seven has a deep relationship with this dog, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to get his dogs.
The seven or eight little kids here all want it, and I'm afraid there are not many who can really get the pups. Of course, the female dog gave birth to three or four puppies at most.
In fact, it is not easy to raise a dog at home, there is not enough food for people, where is the money to raise so many livestock? Raising pigs at home is a regular savings in rural areas, and raising chickens is a current savings. Save things up all year round, where to keep them, hens lay eggs, and sell them to cover the usual expenses. Raising a pig is one way to provide meat for the New Year, and on the other hand, to sell most of it, which can be used for major expenses such as children's schooling and house repair.
Having a dog is different. If you don't plan to hunt and have a dog at home, it's a complete waste of food. This mountain dog is not so easy to raise. If you have to eat enough every day, you have to eat meat. Of course, under normal circumstances, this meat, it can solve it by itself, so close to the mountain, it is not difficult to go in and come back with a rabbit.
On the way home, Zhang Shanhai thought all the way to what kind of way to get a mountain dog from Lao Qi's house back.
When I returned home, I ate hastily, Zhang Shanhai's father and mother went to work, went to school, and left a meal for Zhang Shanhai, which was warmed on the stove. Although Zhang Shanhai was not very hungry, he ate another bowl, and sure enough, he found a poached egg under the rice bowl.
After eating, Zhang Shanhai rushed to Zhang Jingxian's house, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jingxian's family was not at home. The door was directly shut, and the lock was not even locked. Zhang Shanhai then thought that although Zhang Jingxian was a feng shui man, he still had to work as a worker in the production team. Otherwise, where will the food come from to feed the family? Zhang Jingxian has a beautiful mother-in-law, but has no children. People in the village say that Mr. Feng Shui often deals with ghosts and spirits, which is not good for future generations.
Although Zhang Jingxian's door was unlocked, Zhang Shanhai only glanced at it, hesitated there for a while and then turned to leave. casually enter someone else's house, if something is missing from someone else's house, any child's family, going back and being beaten by Lao Tzu must be indispensable.
Zhang Shanhai Lao Tzu usually hurts him badly, and he fights fiercely. Every time Zhang Shanhai questioned his father's real surname.
Zhang Shanhai looked forward to this day until the evening came, and then found Zhang Jingxian at Zhang Jingxian's house.
Seeing Zhang Shanhai's arrival, Zhang Jing immediately laughed and said, "Hey, Zhang Yunyang's Zai Zhen is a blood surname, and it is Zhang Yunyang's species." Zhang Yunyang's stubble in the village, Zhang Yunyang dared to scold my mother. Everything else is soft. I didn't expect Zhang Yunyang's cub to be so bloody, and he dared to ask me for debts. ”
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law has never given birth to children, and she is very friendly to the children in the village, and she smacked Zhang Jingxian, "Don't scare other people's children." It's not that you don't know that the children in the village see you as if they have seen a ghost. No kids ever come to my house to play. ”
Zhang Jingxian smiled, he felt a little guilty about his mother-in-law, so he had to let go of everything, and his voice was much softer, "Shanhai, are you here to ask me for a red envelope?" ”
Zhang Shanhai was up and down in his heart, saying that he was not nervous, it was impossible, "And the old man, that, did they seal a red envelope for me that day?" Zhang Shanhai casually prepared to call Zhang Jingxian's nickname "monk", reacted and quickly changed his words.
Zhang Jingxian's age is not too old, a little more than fifty years old, but his seniority is surprisingly high. Everyone in the village called him "Old Gentleman".
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law is in her forties, she is usually not very hard-working, and she has never given birth to children, and she is still the image of a beautiful woman. Seeing Zhang Shanhai so funny, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Jingxian was originally a little angry, but when he saw his mother-in-law smiling, this anger disappeared without a trace, Zhang Jingxian was more than ten years older than his mother-in-law, and he was not an old husband and a young wife in Zhangjiashan. But Zhang Jingxian loves this mother-in-law who is more than ten years younger than him.
"The red envelope is sealed, but it is sealed with mine, and I don't know how much they are going to seal for you. Why don't I give you two dimes? Zhang Jing was ready to tease Zhang Shanhai first.
Zhang Daneng's family didn't really give Zhang Shanhai a red envelope! Where can adults take what they say to children seriously? However, Zhang Jingxian said this, but he was also ready to take a few cents out by himself. Zhang Jingxian's family can get centimeters, there is no drag of the elderly and children at home, and they usually do a ritual for other people's families, and they can also earn some living money, and their hands are very loose.
Zhang Shanhai shook his head, "I don't want money." I'd like to borrow something from you. ”
Hey! Zhang Jingxian didn't expect Zhang Shanhai to have this trick, which is a little different from other children. Other children can be happy even if they pay a penny or two. This kid was indifferent to the two dimes, which couldn't help but surprise Zhang Jingxian. You must know that you can buy two pieces of candy for every penny.
Zhang Jingxian laughed, "Tell me what you want to borrow from me." But I'll tell you, if you borrow something from me, I won't share it with you. ”
"I'm going to borrow something. Do you have yellow paper and cinnabar at home? Zhang Shanhai asked.
"Well, what do you want this thing for? Do you want to learn to draw talismans? That's not good, if you know, you'll have to kill us. I'll split the money with you. Zhang Jingxian said.
"That's what I wanted. It's used to draw and play! Zhang Shanhai's face was firm.
Zhang Jingxian didn't want to agree, but after thinking about it, these two things are not a big deal, and he can't make any mess as a little kid. Isn't it fooling people to draw your own talismans? What tricks can he play with a hairless kid?
"Okay! You're a kid. I've got both, so I'll get you some. But with these two things, do you need anything else to draw a talisman? Zhang Jingxian asked.
"Of course I do. Isn't it necessary to use animal blood as a guide to mix cinnabar before you can draw symbols? Zhang Shanhai said.
Zhang Jingxian was taken aback, "Who told you about this little kid?" ”
"Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?" Zhang Shanhai asked rhetorically.
Zhang Jingxian was choked by Zhang Shanhai and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law laughed like a bell.
"Shanhai, you come into the house and sit for a while, and let your old master go and find something. The old lady will find you something to eat. Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law beckoned Zhang Shanhai to sit down, then returned to the room and pulled out a yellow brown paper bag from a tile jar.
Zhang Shanhai and his Lao Tzu went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to wrap sugar, and the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives put the candy in the center of a square piece of kraft paper, and then wrapped it into a very delicate bag, and then tied it up with a rope. Although the kraft paper is very ugly and rough, the packaged sugar bun is like a work of art in Zhang Shanhai's eyes.
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law opened the paper bag, and sure enough, there were some paper wrapped sugar and some biscuits inside. Because quicklime was placed in the tile jar, the paper-wrapped sugar still dissolved a little. Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law grabbed a handful, and then wrapped the sugar and put it in the tile jar.
