Chapter 4: The New Year

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family fires artillery battles, pasting couplets and New Year's paintings, unless the family is old within three years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as the noon meal was over, the women began to work on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The most important thing in the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is fried large carp, and there are two of them, indicating that there is more than one year after another. Marinated meat, fish, poultry, and dried vegetables always make a good dish.

Dajunniang was busy with her desktop, so she went to the house of the little great-granddaughter-in-law, the man of the little great-granddaughter-in-law is a construction mobile unit, and now the person is already in Thailand, and sent a telegram saying that he could not return for the Chinese New Year this year. The army mother brought some sesame peanut candy and fried peanuts to the little great-granddaughter-in-law, and the little woman was very moved. The army mother smiled: "What's the matter, I made my little daughter-in-law shed tears when I came!" Who would dare to come to Ming'er. Don't you give your child any toffee on weekdays? After a while, the little great-granddaughter-in-law lowered her head and smiled, and the tears fell in her dimples, crystal clear and shining.

"Dajun Niang, go and take a look! Eight dogs are about to kill his wife, and now he is still howling! I don't know who shouted twice at the door of the army's house, and as soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared. Eight dogs are the only son born to his mother, and there are seven female babies on it. A bunch of women coaxed him to grow up, full of vices. When the children saw him, they didn't have time to break up, so they drooped their heads, walked up to the front, and said, "Eighth Uncle is rich!" After the child finished speaking, he cried and ran away. Eight dogs are notoriously bastard, his hands are always faster than the child, no need to pant heavily, he gently lifted the villain in front of him, after blowing his beard and glaring for a while, he poked the hard, greasy stubble on the child's face for a while, and the child was so frightened that he even cried and shouted.

Under the New Year, the lights of the eight dogs' house are not lit, it is dark, I saw the eight dogs' daughter-in-law sleeping on the ground, crying and sobbing, the baby in her belly has been five months, presumably after a beating by her father, she is also crying bitterly! The eight dogs have long disappeared, and at this time, I am afraid that they will gather in the village to gamble again! It's a sure thing!

"Oops! Knock on your body, how can you lie on the ground! "The army mother can't see such a sad thing, and the tears are even happier than the eight dogs' daughter-in-law.

"His nephew and daughter-in-law, get up quickly, it's going to hurt your waist on this ice floor!" The army lady crossed the threshold, trotted two steps and leaned over to the poor pregnant woman.

"Auntie, I'm dead! The forty yuan of New Year's money sent by the eldest sister just now was taken away by this thief with a thousand knives! This is New Year's money! So saying, he wept and sang again, and his face was purple like a ghost. After several persuasions, it was to no avail. The army lady was trapped in this gloomy and damp room, unable to breathe.

The daughter-in-law of the eight dogs was carried to the bed after more girls came, and the army lady was really startled when she was lifted, only to see a blood stain on the ground.

"Look, this blood is not a good sign! Do you want to ask the gods to jump! Chunlan Niang also panicked when she saw this blood stain.

"This is human life, and the great god will jump out of two human lives!" The army lady was furious.

"How do you do that, how do you do that!" Everyone shook their heads, and for a moment, all eyes focused on the face of the army lady.

"Find a car, find a car!" The army lady said as she paced back and forth.

"This is the New Year, and there is no car!" The young daughter-in-law spoke the harsh truth.

"Hey! Looking for Niu Run's oil truck, I'm afraid that the bicycle can't sit, so I'm looking for an oil car! Quick, go! It's stupid! "The army lady is like a general, commanding a sudden battle." You, you, and you go find clothes and quilts, and by the way, some newspapers to spread on the cart boards. She turned her head to Chunlan Niang and said, "You go to the eldest sister of the eight dogs and ask her to call the sisters over, there is no family of their own, if there is really a three long and two short, we will not be the master." Chunlan Niang, who was stunned on the side, listened to the order, brushed her loose sleeves, stepped out of the threshold, and disappeared into the alley.

Niu Run's oil truck was borrowed, Niu Run personally pulled it, and a layer of broken felt was laid on the board. The eight dogs' daughter-in-law's stomach hurt, and she was sweating profusely, but she just didn't shout. Maybe it's because I'm used to being beaten by the eight dogs all day.,Fight to the end.,Count the tricks in your heart until the eight dogs are tired.。

There were more than a dozen people who went before and after, except for Niu Run, the rest were all women, all daughters-in-law.

It took an hour to run to the county, and there were more than a dozen of them, and it took an hour.

The daughter-in-law of the eight dogs picked up a life, and a shaped baby boy was led into a large plastic basin, and the eldest sister of the eight dogs cried and scolded the eight dogs, and cried and repented of her mother's last wish when she was dying.

The daughter-in-law of the eight dogs carried her out of the operating room, as if she was dead, her face was pale, without any expression or tears.

The people in Tujiao Village, Donghe, all know that something big happened to the Eight Dogs' family, except for the Eight Dogs who gambled money in the lower village.

When the whole village knew that the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs had no children, they secretly ran home, bowed down in front of the Bodhisattva, recited the great compassion mantra several times, and waited until the incense burned half a pillar and saw the bad luck, so that they could get rid of the filth and filth in their hearts. Get up again and pat the dust on your body, serve tea and bowls and set up meals, and keep the New Year!

When Niu Run returned home, the people in the village praised Niu Run's child as a steamed steamed bun, and he would have a lot of success in the future. Under the New Year, Niu Run's father felt that it was taboo to use his own car! But seeing that everyone envied him for having such a good son, he hid his unhappiness in his heart and stopped picking it up. In front of his son, he didn't put on a face. This made the son look at his father who had always been stingy.

The children knew that something big was going on in the village, and they didn't dare to play crazy.

They were curious about why the belly of the eight dogs' daughter-in-law was deflated all of a sudden? They are saddened that they can no longer see the bulging "big balls". They wondered if the "big egg" was covering the bed of the eight dogs' daughter-in-law! After twenty-one days, it will be like a chicken, and the child will bite through the eggshell and come out to play?

This curiosity was injected into the children's hearts, and they ran to the house of the eight dogs in a daze.

The door of the Eight Dogs' house was locked, and nothing could be seen in the cracks in the door, and they all ran to the back of the alley, pulling the window to see, the curtains seemed to be torn on purpose, and their eyes were right on the bed of the Eight Dogs' house. There was a daughter-in-law of eight dogs lying on the bed. The eyes of the eight dogs' daughter-in-law were swollen, lying on the bed without moving, looking around, there were no balls they were looking for, they fantasized about whether the color of the balls was different because of the different genders, but after all, there was no trace of the balls, and they scattered when they were bored!

The daughter-in-law of the eight dogs is dead!

The eldest sister brought food over, but she couldn't knock on the door, and when she pried the door, she saw the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs lying on the bed, her eyes were swollen, and her eyes were full of bloodshots. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, she wanted to laugh at the last moment before she died, but that strength was used in her hands, and she was holding the wedding photo with Bagouzi in her palm, and she couldn't break it.

No one came to mourn, because she was an orphan, and the daughter-in-law of the Eight Dogs had a happy name called Le Qiao. Two years ago, she fell into the water while catching fish, was rescued by Eight Dogs, and married him alive or dead. Now this life owed to people has been returned to the original place. Such a return was exchanged for the madness of the eight dogs. He almost became a flower child, and sometimes, he didn't come back for half a year, and no one dared to go to the dusty hut that was not locked, and when he lost his popularity, he had a ghostly spirit.

The funeral was handled by the sisters of the eight dogs, and it couldn't be simpler! The only thing that caught the eye was the elm coffin, and everyone felt that this was worthy of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs, because she didn't bring the same marriage when she came.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Eight Dogs sent Eight Dogs' daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, the desolate cemetery. After being buried, who will come forward to burn a knife of paper! Someone will come in the first year, and it may be the sister of Hachigoko and the sister who works together in the township. In the second year, no one will come, and if a familiar person passes by this desolate grave, he will stop and exude some inner sorrow, which may be his own or to the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs. Instead, Yaoyao reluctantly turned her head and left! Gradually, the cemetery became deserted. Gradually, this barren land will be covered with wild fruits and flowers. This lush flower and fruit orchard is a place for kids to love.

This New Year, everyone has never slept well, and the cat raised by the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs does not come out during the day, and calls spring on the roof at night. The tearing sound of the spring whimpered in the cold wind, the eerie ghost! After giving birth, he died, the big temple did not accept it, and the small temple did not stay, so he could only be a lonely ghost. Everyone in the village knows that this cat calls spring on the tiled house all day long is attached to the soul of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs.

This New Year, there are two colors: white and red. The artillery battles set off by every household in the village, the window grilles pasted all over the windows, and the couplets pasted on the doors, these are all red, and when they look so red, they become a pool of blood, just like the blood flowing from the daughter-in-law of a white dog. White is the color of the white work arranged in the room after the death of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs, the white latte art pulled up in the hall, the white mourning hall, and the pale white of the portrait of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs. These imprints are always strange in a child's mind and will remain there for a long time. Unlike the sadness of adults, it was buried with the burial of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs.

The daughter-in-law of the eight dogs is gone, quietly silent, like this silent East River.

Unconsciously ushered in the fifth day of the new year, everyone visited relatives and friends, and it was still lively. It's just that there's sadness in the bottom of the bustle. Eight dogs' daughter-in-law will adjust the dumpling filling, she likes to boil the soup and stir it into the filling, and the first bite of the dumplings is the delicious juice to lubricate the entrance. Now no one is going to make this soup. Thinking of this, they thought of the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs, and they whimpered in their hearts, and a few tears were wiped from the corners of their eyes, more than the tears they cried on the grave.

Spring has hit in the middle of the year, and spring has come, but there is no vitality. Occasionally, the sun will feel warmer and less miserable. In the child's view, it is because the sun has become bigger and warmer that the earth has changed.

The water of the East River began to thaw, and the decomposed ice rushed down with the turbulence.

Wheat sprouts are the only green in the earth. Attentive people will find that the shepherd's cabbage has grown fat, and after lunch, the mothers carry bamboo baskets and dig the shepherd's cabbage on the ridges and in the wheat fields. Whoever has good eyesight and fast movements will dig more. They took a group of children and searched for long-lost wild vegetables in the warm and cold spring sun. Children like to run to the grave to dig the shepherd's cabbage, where the shepherd's cabbage is fat and large, and it is easy to dig, as long as the fingers pinch the roots, they can pull out the whole thin root at once. The leaves are watery, put on the tip of the nose and sniff, there is a clear fragrance. It is difficult to dig out the roots of the shepherd's cabbage on the ridges, and the leaves grow dry, and the shepherd's cabbage loses seven points of flavor without roots. Last year, the daughter-in-law of the eight dogs also dug the shepherd's cabbage with them, counting her digging the most and the largest. Now, the shepherd's cabbage on her grave has also grown, but it is a small seedling. The children ignored the uneatable and went to the old grave to look for it.

Hua Ni also came to dig the shepherd's cabbage, but her stepmother didn't come, she had to dig until she felt enough before she dared to go home. Her companions liked to throw water chestnuts into her basket, especially the boys who had worshipped him.
