February 1986.

In Shiquan Village in early spring, the fields are covered with a thin layer of frost, and even the haystacks are covered with frost. The bleak and weak midday sun shone on the golden bull not far from the haystack, the river was shining with a sparkling white light, the thin ice that had not melted floated over the water, and a few ducks quacked and floated on the water, drawing long water lines.

In the middle of the river after the duck swam, a large string of blisters suddenly appeared, a small head came out, and a young, thoughtful face appeared in the sun with bruises. The river water dripped from between the thick eyebrows on Wang Peng's face, and just fell on the two handfuls of beard on his lips that did not match his youth, and the green stubble was like a big comma. Behold, the great flesh is crooked! ”

Wang Shuai, who was lying on the haystack basking in the white-haired sun, heard the shouting, and ran to the shore with his broken liberation shoes to look, Wang Peng had already thrown the river mussel that was still held high just now into the wooden bathtub floating on the water, and another fierce man plunged into the water, leaving only a circle of halos on the water surface.

Wang Shuai saw that Wang Peng had entered the water again, and lifted his trouser waist and shouted to the river: "Ermao, come up, it's such a cold day, beware that you won't be able to lay eggs in the future!" ”

Only the sound of ducks on the quiet stream responded to Wang Shuai, he picked up the net on the shore a little stupidly, and put it into the river, ready to push the net to catch some snails, clams, small fish and shrimp or something, although he was unwilling to go into the water in such weather, but he couldn't let Wang Peng go alone.

Seeing that he had pushed the net a few times, Wang Peng in the river had not yet leaned out, and Wang Shuai on the shore was a little anxious. From time to time, he looked at the movement in the water, and from time to time leaned over to probe the temperature of the water, considering whether to go down to see, the village people have always been taboo to go into the water in winter, I heard that people who used to go into the water every winter have no return.

Just as he was hesitating, Wang Peng burst out of the water again, "Hahaha...... Sanmao, old turtle! Ahh......h

"Oh, you put it in the water!" Wang Shuai jumped up in a hurry, "If you enter the water, this animal will loosen its mouth!" ”

Wang Peng didn't seem to hear Wang Shuai's shouting, and while his feet were desperately stepping on the water, his mouth was a muddy curse. Wang Shuai saw him from a distance with one hand desperately dragging the thick shell of the old turtle, and forcibly pulled it away from his palm, Wang Shuai still clearly saw that the blood flowed down Wang Peng's arm at the moment when the old turtle let go, but he threw the old turtle into the wooden basin disapprovingly, pushed the wooden basin and swam back, and shouted to himself: "This turtle is worth a lot, let it get out of the water, isn't it bitten in vain?" ”。

As soon as he came ashore, he grabbed his two arms and jumped all the way to the haystack, and there was a white gas on his back, and the calf-length blue cloth trousers flowed out of the water like a hose with an open mouth. Wang Peng shouted tremblingly as he ran: "You clean up...... Pack up, I'll hide first...... It's warm and warm in the haystack. ”

Wang Shuai was half-clear when he heard it, Wang Peng had already gotten into the haystack, only one head came out of it, and looked at Wang Shuai who was walking towards him with a smile.

"Wang Ermao, I warn you, don't ask me to do it in the future when you tie a fierce son to fish for crooked meat and touch snails in this winter, and I will be scolded by my mother when I turn around!" Wang Shuai's childish face was full of seriousness, but he didn't hold back for two seconds before he smiled and said, "However, today's harvest is good, it should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" ”

"How many times have I said it, you are not allowed to call Wang Ermao, you are not allowed to call Wang Peng!" Wang Peng sniffed, saw Wang Shuai rummaging through the glorious booty in the wooden bathtub, and raised his head smugly, "You don't look at who went into the water to touch it!" ”

"Less smug! As for the hole in your hand that was bitten by the old turtle, see how you go back and explain it to the old lady! Wang Shuai poured the snail fish and shrimp in his net into the wooden basin together, urging Wang Peng to get dressed quickly, "Look at your hard work, the life of a girl and a baby!" ”

"Look at your little bit of goodness! The hair on his mouth is not out of order, so he thinks about this shadowless thing all day long! Wang Peng came out of the haystack, there were still scattered straws hanging on his body, and the color of his skin had basically eased, but the skin of his hands and feet had been soaked in water for a long time, and it was wrinkled like an animal specimen soaked in potion. He quickly put on a sweater that was too old to see the color clearly, leaned over and lifted the wooden basin with Wang Shuai, and dragged the net with his other hand, humming and walking towards home.

"When I go back, I will let my sister-in-law bring the market to sell, and it is estimated that after a winter vacation, I can still help my little sister earn out the tuition fees." When he said this, Wang Peng's face had long since lost his previous jump, and with those two beards, he gave people a feeling of youth and old age. These days, his heart is heavy, the family has less money and more mouths, seeing that his little sister Wang Hui is going to drop out of school, he always hides and cries alone, he and Wang Peng thought of coming to Taurusun to touch some aquatic products to sell in this winter, hoping to make money to dispel the old lady Qin Ahua to let the little sister drop out of school.

"Ermao, you say...... Our family ......," Wang Shuai gasped and said, "I've been poor for a few lifetimes, can I really rely on reading to turn over?" ”

There were so many things that they were so tired that they didn't take a few steps, so they rested under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village, and Wang Peng took two breaths before he took Wang Shuai's words and said: "Nonsense! What else could we do? What do you say about what the village chief often says? "Everything is inferior, only reading is high," Wang Peng suddenly laughed when he said this, "Don't look at the village chief, don't look like us when you say this." ”

"That was whether it was good or not before, and the feudal society had only one way to study and become an official, but now it's different." Wang Shuai said childishly.

Wang Peng glared at him and said, "Wang Sanmao, do you still want to be a policeman with this idea?" The police are not officials, right? Let me tell you, just look at our branch secretary and village head, which one is not obedient? We are poor, when have we ever seen them poor? Last time the eldest brother came back, he talked about the leaders in their factory, which one was not presentable? So," he looked old-fashioned, patted Wang Shuai on the shoulder, "Studying and being an official are us mud legs, hehe, the most direct way to get rich." ”

The two of them were talking energetically, but they saw the Chinese leper in the village coming over from the west of the village. Hua Lezi is usually an idle master, in the village to eat the east and drink the west family just don't like to work, this time I saw the Wang brothers' full bath of aquatic products, especially the old turtle, let his saliva in the throat a few back and forth can not suppress the stomach from time to time arched upwards.

As soon as Wang Peng and Wang Shuai saw Hua Lezi, the alarm sounded at the same time, but with this bunch of guys, no matter how good their foot strength was, they thought that they couldn't outrun Hua Lezi. Wang Peng's biggest fear on weekdays is climbing high and fighting, and although Hua Lezi is a scoundrel, he is not brave and ruthless, so when Hua Lezi greeted the two brothers, Wang Peng's self-proclaimed invincible brain had already made up his mind.

"Ermao, Sanmao, are you going down to the river today?" Hua Lezi put his hands in the cuffs of his padded jacket, leaned over and stretched out his head to look at the mighty big guy in the bathtub, "Uncle Hua, I, I have often been weak recently, and my liver tremors from time to time, and I have always wanted to make a turtle to make up for it." I see, ......"

Without waiting for Hua Lezi to continue, Wang Peng continued: "Oh, Uncle Hua, you are wrong!" ”

Hua Lezi was stunned for a moment, stretched out a hand from his sleeve, pinched his slightly itchy nose and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I often hear my grandma say that turtles are the most suitable for women to replenish yin, especially those who give birth to cubs." Wang Peng approached Hua Lezi, blinking his eyes and continuing mysteriously, "My aunt also said that men have to eat the yellow eel, the kind with blue and white patterns." Hey, hey, big supplement, you know, Uncle Hua! ”

Hua Lezi narrowed a pair of small eyes and looked at Wang Peng carefully for a while, and hummed two white gases from his nostrils, "Little rabbit cub, let you Uncle Hua!" Where did the blue and white big back yellow come from this season? As he spoke, he bent down and reached out to grab the old turtle, "Although this turtle is the most useful for women, it doesn't say that men can't eat it." ”

"Who said there is no blue and white big back yellow now?" Wang Peng grabbed Hua Lezi's hand, "This season I went down to the bang to touch it, and some of them were big back yellow in winter!" It's just that no one dares to go into the water except me. ”

Hua Lezi's eyes straightened when he heard this. He recently made friends with Widow Liu in the west of the village, and he was happy every night, and Widow Liu was particularly able to toss after a long drought and Ganlin, but he slowly showed some fatigue. If you can catch this big back yellow and eat it, won't you completely plow a widow Liu? Hua Lezi thought of this, and the person also came to the spirit, and the body didn't feel cold anymore, and the two hands that had been in the sleeve tube were involuntarily taken out, overlapping and rubbing back and forth.

"Brother Ermao, you have good water quality, you can catch such a big old turtle, why don't you trouble your brother to go down to the water today and get a big back yellow?"

Wang Shuai couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Hua Lezi calling himself a brother to Wang Peng, but he didn't want to show it on his face, making Hua Lezi suspect that they were playing him.

The two "commas" on Wang Peng's lips trembled, but his face was significantly embarrassed, "Uncle Hua, I have been in the water a few times today, and if I go down again, I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it." ”

"Ouch, good brother, you can help my brother this time!" Hua Lezi seemed to suddenly think of something, touched his whole body up and down, and finally took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes from his arms and handed it to Wang Peng, "Come, come, brother, please eat dried sweet potatoes!" ”

Wang Peng desperately held back a smile and took some dried sweet potatoes and gave them to Wang Shuai, and stuffed the rest into his mouth, so as not to ask himself to go back when Hua Leper found out that he was fooled.

After chewing all the dried sweet potatoes into his stomach, Wang Peng patted his stomach and said, "For the sake of the dried sweet potatoes, I will help you with the next water today!" After speaking, he secretly glanced at Wang Shuai, and then took Hua Lezi's hand and went to Jinniubang.

Looking at the distant backs of the two, the corners of Wang Shuai's mouth flashed with a wicked smile. 2k reading web
