Chapter 26: The Father and the Son
Niu Run didn't go home to eat at noon, and the meat lumps made at home kept Niu Shao drooling, and his brother didn't go home, Niu Shao just dipped some soup in his mouth. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Niu Run's mother died early, Niu Run's father was busy with the sesame oil business outside, and he couldn't take care of the children's daily life, and the two children grew up relying on each other most of the time.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Niu Run didn't go home for dinner for the first time, which made Niu Shao very sad. Niu Run's father saw the child eating the white rice in the bowl, and exclaimed: "You are all white-eyed wolves, and you see me busy like a spinning top all day long, pointing to the babies coming out, I want to see you get a mother, but now, the college students I have worked so hard to cultivate want to pout their butts and plant sesame seeds!" Ay! Hell! It's killing me! As he spoke, he threw the bowl of the sea in his hand onto the stone pier at the door with the strength of the wine, and smashed it to pieces. Niu Shao helped the frame of his glasses, and he had never seen his father get angry, hiding under his mother's remains, like a piece of wood. The leftover half bowl of rice was already cold, and a layer of reddish chili oil was formed on it.
Niu Run's father burst into tears, and his heart was like a lake of bitter water, which poured unstoppably on his dry bronze face at this time. The face that had always been smiling in the past was completely soaked in grief, and the hope that he had always held in his heart had made him fluttering, and at this moment, grief pierced this fluttering happiness like a pinprick. He turned around and walked to the kitchen, picked up the flat pole that had been used for nearly twenty years, and sat down at the front door of the hall. Let him drag his legs to farm, plant crops that he can't lift his head in his life.
Time faded little by little, the light of the sun gradually faded, and the afterglow was rendering this relatively solid home. The smell of gunpowder in the home intensified in the fading light. The aroma of sesame seeds is disgusting in the stronger smell of gunpowder. The sesame cakes in the pantry smell of moisture due to the rain and snow make people feel cold.
It was dark, and Niu Run's father did not wait for his son's return. Exhausted by the long wait, he leaned on his arms, opened the cigarette pouch, rolled up a nest of dry tobacco, and tightly stuffed the dry tobacco in his hand into the tobacco socket. He rowed the firewood for a long time, but no spark was ignited, he did not get up, only put the cigarette holder to the corner of his mouth, took a few sips, and straightened the flat pole in his arms a little, and he put it at the door of his house like a door god.
Niu Shao saw that it was getting dark, and he knew that disaster would happen when his brother came back. He slipped out of the house by taking advantage of the gap in the hut, and he ran to the army's house in three steps and two steps.
The door of Dajun's house was locked, and then he remembered that when they were playing together a few days earlier, Dajun said that he would go to his grandmother's house on the boat for the New Year on the first day of the new year, and it would take a week to come back.
Niu Shao felt lonely, he stayed alone under the old ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, and his mother once told him that if he encountered difficulties, as long as he touched the bark of the old ginkgo tree, went home and sleeped, and luck would run into his arms. Niu Shao touched the old bark of the tree, leaned on the tree and gradually fell asleep.
。。。。。。
The light from the ginkgo tree is warm.
The ginkgo tree grew green leaves in the warm light and heat, and soon received the fruit under the sunshine, and the plump and gray fruit hung all over the branches, which also indicated that the father's sesame seeds would have a good harvest. Mother picked up a piece of gauze on Niu Shao's body and gently wiped the wound, just now in order to hit the ginkgo on the tree, accidentally cut his hand, it was not very painful, but the mother's love made Niu Shaoda cry。。。。。。 The cry woke him up from his dream, and in front of him was his father's big hand, which was as wide and rough as a fire tong, gently brushing Niu Shao's face. This extremely rare action made Niu Shao stunned. The tears he left in the dream seemed to be back in a dream under his father's gentle wiping. His father's face was full of smiles again, and Niu Shao lay on his father's arms tightly and refused to let go.
"Son! You are young and don't understand the mind of a father. You don't understand the taste of Jackie Chan until you're older, and your dad is scared of you today! Your unruly brother made Dad feel like the sky was falling. I don't have the face to see your mother!! Niu Run's father said a lot of words, he was more like talking to himself, he always thought that Xiao'er was still a hairy baby, and he couldn't understand the thoughts of adults. Therefore, as soon as the words fell, they often sighed.
Niu Shao lay in his father's ear and whispered, "Brother is good!" He's going to do big things. I've seen all his diaries! Said to engage in experimental fields. ”
The father's kind face suddenly cooled down again, and his face turned pale and said: "What a test field, what a dangerous thing to do in an experiment, what to do if someone is injured, the child I worked hard to bring up, and trained into a college student, unless I die, he can do experiments!" I can tell you, he is crazy, I don't recognize that bastard, you don't have to be obsessed with it anymore, otherwise, my father really doesn't have the face to see my mother! ”
The cow gicks with laughter! Niu Shao felt that his father was like an old antique, and he actually thought of the experiment as making gunpowder.
Xiuzhi and Wang Cripple happened to come back from the city, and when they entered the entrance of the village, they saw the two of them sitting on the pickled ground and talking, so they came forward strangely.
"What? There's nowhere to go for the New Year! Now that I am in charge, my eldest brother and two nephews will go to the house to make trouble for two days. Xiuzhi vomited first, Wang Cripple was originally a withdrawn person, but when he saw his wife say this, he couldn't be silent, so he smiled and said: "Then it's fun, brother, I want to drink higher with you and sing a tune on the ground!" "In the early years, when Wang Cripple didn't have an accident, he was a corner that could be eaten within a radius of 100 miles, and he was a famous umbrella. Now, he can only stand on crutches and sing a tune in the field, and Niu Run's father is a lantern riddle, he was young, he liked to make lamps and umbrellas, his hands were very skillful, and the nearby lamp nests would come to the door to find his craft. It's just that now I am forced to make a living, so I don't have time to do my hobbies. But the love for the hub light in my heart is not diminished.
"In two days, I will go to pay a New Year's greeting, today there is something at home, it is inconvenient to go. Brother, I want to roar too! I'll make a good wine tomorrow! Niu Run's father's straightforwardness did not embarrass the couple. Seeing that Niu Run's face was full of thoughts, he went home.
Niu Run's father dragged Niu Shao, and when he returned home, the couplet on the door panel was blown away by the wind, and Niu Run's father scolded him, he brewed some saliva in his mouth, and spit a few mouthfuls towards the pickle. Niu Shao looked left and right to find the couplet, but in the end he couldn't find it.
