Chapter 1 The Lunar Month in Winter
Severe winter. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the earth is frozen tightly, and wherever you hit it with a wooden mallet, it is all ringing.
When the sky was bright, a child ran to the East River, and saw that the ice on the river was frozen tightly, and the child who first learned that it was frozen was like a soldier with good news, and when he entered the village, he shouted in a leisurely voice: "Freeze! It's freezing! Ice boating! β
The lazy child lying in the quilt suddenly jumped out of the warm quilt, naked, did not care about wearing a shirt, put on heavy cotton pants, put on a cotton jacket, did not have time to put on socks, pulled cotton shoes, did not buckle the shoes, and ran towards the Dongda River. The child who was eating had a stomachache and put the remaining half bowl of porridge on the table, and when the mother was hesitating, the child was long gone. When the girl who was feeding the chickens and ducks heard this, she scattered the corn particles in the dustpan on the ground, hurriedly threw down the dustpan in her hand, and ran towards the East Riverγγγγγγ Some children were about to rush to the East River, and when they heard such shouts, they were extremely disappointed, because he would not be the first hero to discover the freezing of the East River.
The East River is three or four miles away from the village, and these children run together at the head of the village, and if they want to be good, they will hold hands; Boys who often compete in 'martial arts' will take advantage of such opportunities to test their light.
Their enthusiasm is much stronger than the adults beating drums and announcing them to the village stage to watch the play, because for children, this is the most exciting time of winter.
The ice did not become thick in a day, and the children who reached the shore carefully picked up the stones and threw them into the middle of the river, which was with the strength of milk.
As a result, the smaller stones slipped into the middle of the river and finally did not move, like a frozen toad. Little by little, the big rocks poked a big hole in the surface of the river.
Children are not discouraged by not being able to skate on the big ice boat. They would beat some large ice cubes in Repulse Bay, make swords, axes, and pistols in their hands, and fight each other in factions, which is a boys' game. When the girl saw that she couldn't skate on an ice boat, she turned around and went home.
Swords, axes, and pistols will slowly melt in the hand, like salt and sugar popsicles that are reluctant to swallow in summer, melted water, dripping on clothes and shoes, popsicles that melt in summer can cool the little belly, and ice on cotton clothes in winter, will gradually soak through the cotton, freezing the already sweaty body. It was a strange feeling, innocuous and insignificant, but in the end, it was my mother's abuse that awaited me.
The sun seemed to be on an ice boat, and had already climbed to the top of the hillside, lazily shining on the East River, and the sun was scarce for their play, so they did not want to shine on the East River, and the river ice did not melt, but it did not continue to thicken. Waiting for the cold wind in the night to blow the ice surface and smell the child's dream. As soon as the morning dawns, the old man of the sun climbs the hill again to watch the children play and pass the lonely winter.
As far as the eye can see, the East River looks like a white thousand-year-old worm, because it stole the peach bitten by the Monkey King, it was punished by the Queen Mother to the lower realm, starved and frozen. It's like the white satin scarf that Sister Plum Blossom in the village is drying outside, frozen overnight, forgetting to collect it, frozen in the air, and occasionally swaying in the wind.
The river is overgrown with weeds, and the dead grass on the ridges is tall but sparse, like the beard of an old man in the village. There are black cabbage and Chinese cabbage in the fields. In the winter of Donghe, there are only these vegetables in the field, and the children eat pork stewed Chinese cabbage, dried tofu stir-fried cabbage, cabbage tofu soup, fried Chinese cabbage with Zhenzi, fried black cabbage with Chinese cabbage, cabbage egg soup, vinegared Chinese cabbage gang, and pickled hot and sour cabbage in the morning and evening. Winter is the world of cabbage. Winter is a world of ice.
Because the weapons in their hands are getting smaller and smaller, the children are almost working hard close to their bodies, and they lack the taste of heroes in the end, so they run on the ridges! Their fur hats had already been wiped on their hands, and their hair was steaming hot, like white steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, and their palms were red and sweaty. Their bodies were full of fire, their clothes were already soaked, the children without underwear buttoned their clothes to death, and the cold wind ran from his waist to his neck, and it was cold for a while. Some children have already unbuttoned their cotton clothes and let the wind blow, and their mothers are not there, and they play freely.
"Hey! Bunny, bunny! "I don't know who found the rabbit hiding in the dead grass. He didn't want to prove the hero's sharpness, so he tiptoed over.
In the direction, they saw a rabbit, a gray rabbit, fat, with a thief's eyes that looked at people, its mouth kept moving, and its ears were erect and twisted.
They parted three ways, and they didn't have time to copy the guy in their hands, but they tacitly approached the grass, and as they got closer and closer, the fat rabbit was in front of them, and just as they could reach out and touch the rabbit's fur, the rabbit's hind legs bounced violently, and with a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees, it disappeared wonderfully.
"Brother Dajun, we met the rabbit fairy! In the blink of an eye, the rabbit is gone! Erlong was very entangled and asked towards the army.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, do you know the three holes of the cunning rabbit? Rabbits burrow more in order to escape in times of danger. The army picked up a stick from the ground and stroked the thick grass. But he didn't see any holes, and he began to wonder in his heart. Finally think about it and say, "Rabbits are all magicians, they become dazzling, and they make holes." After saying that, he turned around and left, and the children behind him also followed to find the hole, but they didn't see it, and followed behind the army with their heads drooping, and the previous excitement fell to a low point at this moment.
"Look! The chickens are on the kang! Where did this damn girl go! "Oh, this bottle doesn't clean up! It's a big deal! Hua Ni's stepmother shouted with all her strength, afraid that Hua Ni's father would not hear. Today she has a reason not to let Hua Ni eat at the table as a punishment.
The children still wander along the long dam, doing nothing. They beat the dead grass around them with sticks, and gray smoke enveloped them like mist.
In the distance, the sound of a train chirping was heard, and it was the sound that drove them crazy. A few children jumped towards the train tracks with all their mightγγγγγγ The rabbit's disappearance faded into their minds for the time being.
"Look, Brother Dajun, there's a fence, and there's a big carbon!" The little one who found the rabbit was excited to see the cargo on the train.
"Dog, as far as you are concerned, I will temporarily seal you as an internal general." The army patted the dog on the shoulder and said generously. Dajun was about ten years old, in the second grade, and last year, the teacher went to Dajun's house and dragged the shoulder-length grandmother to cut it and reported to the first grade. Grandma cried and sang: "I just have this steamed bun, if it is not steamed, my old life will hit the school gate!" The foot-bound grandmother didn't have a chance to see if the steamed buns were steamed, and she fell down in the wheat field last year and didn't get up again.
"Dog, let's see again, is it more fence or more carbon?" Dogan was born with good eyes, and when he got the order, he stretched out his head, stepped forward and looked, "Half of each!" The black pressed carbon, the fence is piled high! β
"Brothers, rush! Take down the fence and make a fence for the second master of Hua. Under the order of the army, all the staff responded, and the shouts shook the sky, and even Donghe seemed to tremble.
Everyone doesn't like to see the blood-red wheel of the steam train, it is the wheel that broke Hua Ni's father's leg. The army was the largest, and when he came to the middle of the train, he was overjoyed to see the lumber piled up on it, and was about to climb into the train, when the train moved slowly.
"Niu Shao, come up with some ideas!" The army looked at Niu Shao, Niu Shao pushed his glasses, turned his black beanie's eyes, and shouted loudly: "The train and the train will drop a bomb and get 10 million to the United States; The train bombed the train, and it reached Japan 10 million. β
Hearing Niu Shao's shout, the army picked up a stick, made a speeding and handsome gesture, and shouted: "The train and the train will drop a bomb and throw 10 million to the United States; The train bombed the train, and it reached Japan 10 million. Immediately afterwards, everyone shouted in unison: "The train and the train will drop a bomb and throw 10 million to the United States; The train bombed the train, and it reached Japan 10 million. β
A miracle appeared in their hysterical screams! Bundles of fences were brushed down from the carriage, and there were three bundles of fences, which were pies falling from the sky. They cheered, and they dragged the loot towards Fanny's house.
"Second master, second master! The fence is coming, the fence is coming! The army shouted through the double wooden gates. Erdan was so tired that he sat down on a little lion in front of the door.
They all looked like mud monkeys, covered in charcoal ash.
Hua Ni opened the door, she had just finished kneeling, she was hiding behind the door and secretly wiping her tears, seeing that their nose was sore, she shook off the hemp flower braid on her chest and ran away! Since her father had a car accident, her mother quietly left home, and the second master spent double the dowry from Shimomura to marry such a forty-year-old girl. The old girl can work, and the family lives by collecting wine bottles, and she is bored and nagging the child all day long. Hua Da had no choice, and sometimes the second master hummed a few words, and the old girl would lower her head and stop talking. Grandpa became the umbrella of Hua Ni and her younger brother. Everyone was sad for a while when they saw Hua Ni in tears, but when they thought that Hua Niang sometimes made fresh rice soup for them, they would not hold a grudge. Only the army was so angry that its nose was snarling, like a calf about to flick its hooves.
At this time, Second Master Hua also walked out, and he saw that the child had picked up so many good things, and his heart was happy. He took out four cents of the ticket and handed it neatly to the hands of the army.
Everyone looked at the tickets and began to recall the two kiosks next to the elementary school. The first one is that you can't go, the old woman speaks viciously, this can be tolerated, anyway, just take something and leave, and it won't spoil their sense of taste because they don't listen to it. The important thing is that the old woman has pus on her face, which makes them afraid. Abscesses seem to be contagious, and when you go in and buy something, you feel uncomfortable until the abscess is blurred in your mind. The second one is also a commissary opened by an old woman, but the things are not as complete as the first one, and some of them are moldy. They thought about it and prepared to go to the lower village to spend some money.
Because Shimomura often rushes to the temple fair, there are a lot of strange things here, for the four dimes, you can only buy some food that can be divided equally, and you can only look at the yo-yo pump, tumbler, and toy gun with gunpowder, and fill your eyes.
"Brother Dajun, do you see that sour plum powder has a new variety? When I went to the city last year, the second uncle in the city bought me a pack, and it tasted good! I just haven't tasted this white taste! Niu Shao's eyes looked straight at the army, waiting for his choice.
"But these four dimes can only buy five packs, which is not enough for everyone!" The army was also drooling at what he said, but swallowed it secretly.
"You can drink it with water, and drink sour plum soup!" This idea shocked the four, and Erlong's stunned appearance was met with a grenade by the army, and the army said: "Hey! I didn't think you were stunned when you were fine! β
After buying five packets of sour plum flour, Erlong went to his own field, took a large porcelain jar hidden under the cellar, and washed four packs with well water. The army left a bag for Hua Ni.
They snuggled under a dead tree, sat on the soft dead grass, and after a while, they lined up, picked up the porcelain jar and drank it one by one. The delicious taste makes the next one drool, and the last one who drank it drools. passed a few turns, and the most unbearable thing was that the child who looked at the porcelain jar took an empty jar, and not a drop was empty.
