Chapter 36: Three Glasses of Wine

Tujiao Village was soaked in the cold, and Xiuzhi squinted her eyes under the old ginkgo tree, her hands crossed into the cuffs of her cotton coat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There are also a lot of gray hairs in her hair, thinking back to the care that Er Mazi has taken care of her over the years, and thinking that Er Mazi has fallen to this point, she feels unspeakably uncomfortable, she yawns, gets up, and walks towards the village committee.

Supper had passed, and it was now eight o'clock, for Xiuzhi heard the sound of the fool in the east beating the gong by the east river. Fool Dan Dan is a child adopted by the old villager Zhou Gang and his wife, Fool Dan Dan is not a child, he is already in his thirties, and he didn't know that the baby was a fool when he was raised before, the couple couldn't have children, and they didn't call their parents until they were five years old, and they couldn't stretch out three fingers. The villagers persuaded them to send away this stupid child and save some money for their old age. But Aunt Zhou still brought him back from the station, and from then on, Zhou Outline broke off this idea. Fool doesn't sleep lazy, he doesn't take a nap, he always strikes the gong on time at six in the morning, five in the evening, and eight in the evening, even if he is sick. Now that this stupid son is approaching his prime, in addition to beating the gong every day, this stupid egg helps his parents clean the courtyard and carry water and farm, except for the slower brain, which is not annoying. What is annoying is that her biological mother, with a black mole on the sole of her son's foot, is looking for a needle in a haystack to find it from the sea of people. Since the death of this equally stupid mother-in-law, once the food is out of food, she will go to the stupid adoptive father's house, eat and drink, and don't care about face.

Zhou Outline regretted it, but Aunt Zhou began to pity this woman who had no support, but this pity made this family who was not rich in the first place a burden and there was no end.

When Xiuzhi heard the sound of the gong, she saw that the lights of the village committee were still on, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Village Chief, why are you still here? People always have to fill their stomachs, and if there is no food mixed in their stomachs, people will wilt, right? Xiuzhi looked at the emaciated man, and didn't say a word, and had no idea in his heart.

"O village chief! My cripple wants to have two drinks with you! Xiuzhi saw him raise his head and said with a smile on his face.

Wang Mazi sneered: "Big sister! I know you want to make me feel more comfortable, but I'm really not in the mood, so you better go back! This lonely man and widow talk together, don't hurt you again! Someone in this Tujiao Village wants my life! ”

"Don't guess, I just want to drink too, I've been in town to choose seeds these days, I'm tired, you know, you're not here, my machismo won't let me get drunk!" Xiuzhi said with an aggrieved face. From time to time, his eyes stole away from Ermazi.

Er Mazi slowly stood up, smashed his waist with both fists and said, "Okay! I'm also a little hungry, and I don't have enough to fill, what should I do! He sighed helplessly, his eyes cloudy, afraid that he would spend another night in a nightmare.

Outside, the barking of dogs came and went, as if a large group of men and horses had marched into Tujiao Village, but as the moon hung up on the treetops, the barking of dogs slowly passed away.

Wang Cripple had set up a table of dishes early at home, and the trademark of the bottled wine taken out of the cellar was already moldy, which was brought by Wang Shungeng, the nephew of Wang Cripple, from the city. Because my father committed an accident, he walked out of Tujiao Village in the early days of liberation, and he didn't want to mix some appearance in the city, and he didn't forget his second uncle who stayed in Tujiao Village during the New Year's holidays, and often brought him some fresh things.

Hearing the knock on the door, the lame man jumped to the gate of the courtyard, knowing that it was the knock of the mother-in-law, he quickly pulled the bolt off the door and opened the door. Er Mazi followed behind Xiuzhi, and Xiuzhi dragged him to the front and said, "This is my own family, when did I get into trouble?" ”

A table of dishes jumped in front of Er Mazi's eyes, although there was no one in his heart, full of shadows, but when he saw this good dish, his mouth suddenly gave birth to some liquid, and his heart was also moved, he forced a smile: "It's really embarrassing for you, the family is not rich, and you toss for me like this, to be honest, in this family, I am also comfortable in my heart, and the love between us is not on our lips." ”

"Brother Wang! You've been the village chief for so many years, why haven't you learned to defend against people! It's no wonder that you are sad in people, how can you still have the heart to think about this! However, I want you to eat three glasses of wine, and then eat the cake baked by your mother-in-law, and I will talk to you again! This is a big deal, brother, I have been carrying it, no one knows! Wang Lame's call made Er Mazi's heart chuckle, he was like a bicycle that couldn't get on the chain, sliding on the downhill road, the feeling of waiting for the uphill road was self-evident, but he had a hunch that he needed Wang Cripple to push it uphill. After three cups of hard work, he swallowed two flatbread into his stomach, and then took another sip of hot tea, and kept beating his diaphragm.

Wang lame saw Er Mazi sitting on the chair, and without saying a word, he put the shoes in Er Mazi's hand, and told Er Mazi what happened in detail. Er Mazi's body was trembling constantly, but what he had a hunch was that he could close the beat.

Wang lame said: "This is just physical evidence, the best way now is to go to the county seat, go to the government, and see what people say!" I think there is something strange about this, now Liu Liu and the iron fan are gone, if they don't take it back to check and ask, I'm afraid that they will bury the mystery in the soil in the future, and there will be nowhere to find it. The government that Wang lame said was naturally public security, and Er Mazi didn't say a word, so he knelt down on his knees and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Wang! You're my benefactor! ”

The lame man hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "The wall has ears, the elder brother still has more eyes, this village can be Liu Liu's eyeliner, isn't all his stinky money thrown on these gamblers who eat and drink?" ”

Er Mazi suddenly restrained his crying, he wrapped his shoes and stuffed them into his arms, because his pale face turned maroon before drinking.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Wang lame did not send Er Mazi to the door, Er Mazi went out, and gently closed the door, Er Mazi carried this expensive shoe, he felt that this shoe would be given to his mother-in-law Zhaoxue, he knew that no matter what mistakes he made, this mother-in-law who had relied on him for most of his life would not be willing to leave his man.

He looked up at the sky, and at some point the moon faded and the sky was filled with snowflakes. The snowflake fell on Er Mazi's face, and instantly melted on his hot face, there was an indescribable pleasure, he wanted to scream, but the voice reached his throat and swallowed again. He swore that he would put the wicked in prison, and then go to his mother-in-law's grave and shout twice and sing her the songs he loved. (To be continued.) )
