readx;
The six brothers of Lingyang were let into the house by the old man and sat around the kang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe hospitable old man instructed the two brothers to turn around, one was busy holding firewood and lighting the kang, and the other simply fried two vegetarian dishes, and some cooked foods such as peanuts, rice, ham and sausages were served on the kang table, and took out a ten-pound plastic wine barrel to fill the cup in front of everyone, and drank some wine to drive away the cold.
The weather in the north is cold, and since ancient times, there has been a habit of drinking spirits to ward off the cold, and drinking it is a high-grade liquor distilled from corn and sorghum many times. The Northeast region has a lot of grain, and the soil soju workshops are blooming everywhere, it is impossible to trap the wine in the cellar for several years like Moutai Wuliangye, and it is fully fermented by a variety of microorganisms to produce a thick sauce aroma, all of which are the head wine of the first pot and the second pot, with a spicy taste, and the entrance is like a knife, which has developed the rough and heroic character of the northern man.
Generally, boys in the Northeast have been held on the wine table by their parents since they were young, and they use chopsticks to dip wine into their mouths, so they are all happy without wine when they grow up. Old Cheng Tou has lived in the countryside of Northeast China all his life, and naturally has a little bit of alcohol, Cheng Da Viagra and his two brothers have been trained by their grandfather since they were young, and they are also veterans of the wine field.
Except for Xiao Wu Xiaobai and Ling Yang, who are not good at drinking liquor, and their teeth are grinning and it is difficult to swallow, the rest of the people can drink a few glasses more or less, Brother Hao has a shallow amount of wine, and he pours himself and eats a lot of vegetables, and the old brothers are very happy to see Brother Cheng Dawei, and in a blink of an eye, the two glasses of white wine are dry, and the color on their faces has not changed at all.
Cheng Erwei and Cheng Dawei are actually twin brothers, the two brothers have the same body and appearance, the same curly hair and thick lips, and a height of nearly two meters are very similar to the black stars in the American professional men's basketball team, which looks very rare. Cheng Erwei has the same temperament as his brother, straightforward and simple. I have long heard my brother say that he has made friends with two twin heroes on the rivers and lakes, and suddenly he saw that his heart was full of joy, and the four of them talked happily at the wine table, and suddenly felt a sense of pity for each other.
The nine old men sat around in front of the kang table, and the old man Cheng happily opened the chatterbox, talked about his own situation, and also told the life experience of Cheng Dawei's brothers, but he didn't say the word thanks. The old man spoke in a clear manner, his speech and demeanor looked quite knowledgeable, and his temperament was unique, but he did not look like a Jianghu atmosphere, not at all like an ordinary farmer who had been digging and eating in the land all his life, which surprised Ling Yang.
It turned out that the old man Cheng's name was Cheng Hongjun, and his parents were both tenant farmers, and they both starved to death in a famine, leaving Cheng Hongjun as an orphan. Before liberation, the landlords were not like the top ones in the movie, but they were rich peasants with relatively more land, and they got along well with their poor neighbors. After a famine, several members of the landlord's family were also hungry and yellow-skinned, relying on the moldy old grain in the warehouse to survive, distressed that Cheng Hongjun had no one to take care of him and was afraid that he would starve to death, so he took Cheng Hongjun to his home to feed, helped to do farm work when he was busy, and went to the field to graze cattle in his spare time, so he pulled Cheng Hongjun to the age of thirteen, and followed the passing Red Army team to enlist in the army and eat military rations.
Cheng Hongjun did not have a big name before enlisting in the army, and the rural children had a cheap life to feed, so they only took a nickname dog, and the name of the Red Army was still given by the political commissar of the regiment after enlistment, and it was called for a lifetime. Cheng Hongjun followed the team to travel through most of China, climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, and only participated in the battle of Liaoshen in the four major battles, when Cheng Hongjun was promoted to battalion commander because of his combat bravery, and was sent to the rear hospital due to injury and illness After the liberation, he was stationed in the Shenyang Military Region with the commander and served as the political commissar of a regiment.
During the Cultural Revolution, the culture of criticizing and fighting bad guys also affected the troops, and Cheng Hongjun was somehow dug up the adoption of the landlords, and was locked up as a "black cub" who turned his back on the poor middle peasants and defected to the landlord class, and was expelled from the army after half a year of fighting and marching. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the military region was still relatively positive, and the commander at that time, Han Baitao, used a lot of connections to save dozens of old comrades-in-arms who had been classified as rightists, but he could only save his life, and all of them were sent back to the local rural areas for re-education through labor.
Cheng Hongjun returned to his hometown in the provincial capital during that period, and worked in the suburban labor reform farm for several years, fortunately, this farm was also the scale of the wasteland developed by the construction corps that year, and the field director was also Cheng Hongjun's old comrade-in-arms, and arranged a relatively easy job for Cheng Hongjun, so he was not tired to death, and settled down on the outskirts of the city after rehabilitation, and has been relying on planting greenhouse vegetables for a living.
In the early winter of 1983, Cheng Hongjun went to the vegetable greenhouse in the backyard as usual to light a stove to adjust the temperature of the greenhouse, and patrolled around the greenhouse as usual to see if there were idle little thieves who destroyed the greenhouse and stole vegetables.
Cheng Hongjun took a closer look, but surprisingly heard a weak baby cry from the greenhouse, opened the plastic sheet and looked, I don't know who put the two newborn babies into the greenhouse, wrapped them in a thin blanket, and threw them in the ditch under the cucumber rack. Thanks to the person who threw the child, he did not lose his conscience and stuffed the child into a greenhouse with a higher temperature, otherwise it would be freezing outside, and the two little ones would have to freeze into popsicles in less than ten minutes.
Cheng Hongjun's surprise was not trivial, he didn't care about walking around the door in a circle, he directly tore open the greenhouse and got in, and when he opened the blanket to see, Cheng Hongjun was completely stunned, only to see that the blanket was wrapped in two black babies, howling happily with their small mouths open, maybe hungry. Cheng Hongjun, who has been an old bachelor all his life, looked at the two black boys in his arms for a long time, and then burst into ecstasy, and quickly carried the two little guys into the house, begging Aunt Zhang next door to see if they could support them.
Aunt Zhang is a warm-hearted person, knowing that Lao Cheng Tou has no children and no daughters in his life, and there is not even a person to cry for the grave after his death, and she is also happy for Cheng Hongjun, although the two little guys don't look like people from the Northeast, but after all, it is better than nothing. So after being busy, Zhang Luo was busy looking for a little daughter-in-law who had just given birth to a child in the village to feed the two children, and when he was older, he let the old Cheng Touer feed him with boiled rice porridge mixed with the juice pressed out of the cabbage, and the two life-old babies survived, which is now Cheng Dawei and Cheng Erwei.
At that time, there were no sound laws and regulations on adoption, and household registration was relatively lax. It didn't take much effort for Mr. Cheng to put Dawei Erwei in his household registration book and became his grandson.
Ling Yang suddenly realized that the inexplicable temperament of Cheng Hongjun was cultivated in the army, no wonder the old man made people feel his hairs stand on end when he stared at him, and it was no wonder that the old guy actually hid two genuine old-fashioned Wang Ba boxes, and he really dared to shoot at a critical moment, it turned out to be the spiritual courage tempered in the melting pot of the army.
Several people chatted while drinking, until the snow stopped at dawn, and a trace of fish belly white was revealed in the east, Ling Yang also listened to Cheng Hongjun tell the story of the war years, and listened to it with relish, so Brother Hao suggested that everyone make a toast for the old man's horse career. When the wine was dry, Brother Hao wiped the wine stains on his lips and said with a disgruntled face: "Old man Cheng, our buddies are really convinced of you, the rivers and mountains are all fought down by your generation, but I didn't expect to be bullied by a bunch of bastard Wang Bacubs when I got old!" ”
Ling Yang heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and immediately took over Brother Hao's words: "Yes, yes, old man, you have a lot of adults, and you can't be as knowledgeable as those three indiscriminate, I think you might as well go to Jingyang with a few of us for a few days first, and I will help you find someone to solve the small things here, and ensure that the house is intact when you come back." It's not that I'm blowing it to you, we are not much inferior to the provincial capital, beautiful old ladies are all over the street, all of them are good with thighs and long waists, I guarantee that you will not be happy, and glow the second spring of your life......"
Cheng Hongjun knew that Ling Yang was thinking about himself, but he was still made to laugh and cry by Ling Yang's remarks. Cheng Hongjun took a big sip of the wine glass on the kang table, and raised his eyebrows: "It's okay to let Dawei Erwei go out with you to see the world, I won't leave, the old man will stay here without going anywhere." I'd like to see if these little bastards who have forgotten their ancestors can move me! ”
