Liu Xianzhi listened to her mother explain in detail the causes and consequences of the beating, and knew that if she continued to be entangled like this, she would never be able to cut off her head. She took some free time and made an appointment with Xing Er to sit down at his house for a conversation. In order to show his sincerity, he also specially bought two packs of good cigarettes for Xing Er as a gift.

Xing Er made a sincere review, as a junior, he should not be rude to his elders. also took out the peanut candy brought by Mrs. Xu Guangda and asked her to taste it. Two packs of cigarettes and one pack were not collected, and the remaining peanut candy was given as a thank you gift, so that the in-law fat could be brought home to honor her parents. It's also a confession of mistake. I can't apologize in person, Bi Jing is not a child, and he can't get over his face. Please explain more in front of your parents when you get home. and promised not to deliberately slander the two old people in the future. Back then, when the two were in love, the second elder of the Liu family didn't hurt himself less. It really shouldn't have come to this now. If you can't become a husband and wife, you can be a bosom friend. Moreover, the marriage fat does not forget the old love, and spends the night at Xing Er's house from time to time. The two talked in love, talked all night, and hugged each other until dawn.

Xu Guangda asked his wife to visit Xing Er in the cattle farm, and in addition to bringing peanut candy, he also brought two bottles of good wine given to him by a friend. He himself could not drink alcohol for physical reasons. In the future, Mrs. Xu wanted to go to the cattle farm to see Xing Er, so she asked Mrs. to give the wine to Xing Er, and sent a message to Xing Er, telling him to go to the school to find himself recently, claiming that he had discussed with Xing Er.

Xing Er went to the barber shop on the street to clean up his hair, and asked for a bath ticket from the fertilizer factory, and went to the bathhouse of the fertilizer factory to wash himself thoroughly. I bought toothpaste and a toothbrush, brushed my teeth clean, put on the new clothes that Duo'er bought for him from the Broad Goods Mall, and went to the city school to meet Principal Xu Guangda.

The doorkeeper did not let him in, no matter how Xing Er dressed up, people knew at a glance that he was a common man, and his temperament determined a qiē. He has no temperament at all, and he wants to see the principal, the common people and the school principal have one farming and the other managing the school, and the two have nothing to do with each other, and they are not relatives. said that the janitor of his friend didn't believe it at all, and he didn't have anything to do with it. How can a dignified principal make friends with the common people? No way.

Xing Er walked around outside the school gate, but he couldn't get in. He didn't dare to make a mistake, but waited patiently, hoping that Yu Guangda would see himself when he left the school to run errands. The emperor lived up to his wishes, Xu Guangda inadvertently glanced at the school gate because of the open window in the office building, and vaguely saw the figure of Xing Er outside the school gate, so he walked downstairs and walked towards the gate. Xing Er saw that it was really Xu Guangda, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Xu——。 ”

Xu Guangda didn't agree, just beckoned him in. When the janitor saw the principal waving, he knew that Xing Er was really a friend of the principal, so he hurriedly pressed the button of the telescopic electric door and let Xing Er and others bring bicycles into the school gate.

Xu Guangda invited Xing Er to his office to sit down, and served tea and cigarettes, and after the cold noise, Xu Guangda led Xing Er to a large warehouse, which was full of table oranges with missing arms and legs. These are the student desks smashed by the rebels during the special period, and they have saved so much over the years. It's a pity to throw it away, plus the school has just resumed classes, and the funds are insufficient. I really can't afford to buy a new desk. Xu Guangda knew that Xing Er would be a carpenter, and wanted him to repair these table oranges in the cattle farm, and the legs that could match the legs should be replaced by the tabletop. Several square planks were also approved above, and Xing Er pulled it back to use it as appropriate. Repaint it when it's done. The renovated desks are basically the same as new.

Xing Er looked around the warehouse and found that there were many table legs and orange legs scattered around the warehouse. He asked the school to tell the students to collect these things. Xu Guangda agreed, chose a physical education class, and asked the physical education teacher to lead the students to collect it. Usually I don't look at much, but when I collect it, I have a lot of competition. Xu Guangda and Xing Er returned to his office and agreed with Xing Er that the big car in the school would be responsible for pulling these table oranges to Niu Yang. Repaint after repair. The school will send a car back to the school. Xing was given 20 yuan for each table and chair to repair it.

After the matter was done, Xing Er wanted to leave, but Xu Guangda didn't want to live or die, so he had to stay with Xing Er to eat at school. It's not a big fish or a big meat, it's just an ordinary meal in the school cafeteria. Xu Guangda didn't serve liquor either, but just asked Xing Er to drink a can of beer. Beer was still a novelty at that time. Xing Er drank it in his mouth, and a catly smell rushed up from his stomach, he endured it, and barely drank the can, Xu Guangda took another can to open it. Xing Er hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Big brother, you and I are brothers, I'll tell you straight." Big brother, don't be surprised, this thing must be a good thing, but it's a pity that I can't enjoy it, little brother. Horse urine type, say salty or not, say light or not, call bar, it is not spicy, not called bar, but people clearly have the word wine written on this label. He looked around at no one and asked Xu Guangda: "Big brother, can I sneak a pour-in in my arms?" Go back and ask Doll to taste the beer too. ”

Xu Guangda nodded in agreement, and when he walked out of the school dining hall with Xing Er, he took the can of beer on the table in his hand, and when he sat down in his office, he put the can of beer for Xing Er in his pocket. He didn't keep him anymore, and made an appointment to start transporting those tables and chairs to the cattle farm tomorrow, and he instructed Xing Er to go back to the country carpenter as soon as possible, and start work as soon as possible, as for the repair fee, he could come and get it at any time. If he is busy, he can ask Duo'er to take the big car that transports table oranges at the school to get the money.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first three feet are not easy to kick. If you really do it, follow the steps. It's not very difficult. Xing Er found a few carpenters from the village, negotiated the wages, and the people came to work. Most of the craftsmen in the countryside help families at home, making furniture, repairing tables and chairs, which is commonplace. The desks and chairs at school are easier to repair because they are all made of one size, and the front legs of this table can be attached to another table. To be honest, those who can be carpenters must not be stupid, and fools can't be carpenters. As the saying goes, a long carpenter, a short blacksmith. Annoyed people who can't remember the size, sawed down, and cut a very good piece of wood by two centimeters, this is the end of the deal. Wood can't be lengthened, isn't truncated wood blind? There is a family building a new house in Nanguizi, and it is still a good friend of mine. His second uncle was a half-pull carpenter, and he took a long reed from the reed berth where the house was built as a ruler, and took it to the house to measure it, and it was very clever that the reed was as long as the diameter inside the house. The second uncle was laughing, and he was still muttering, "It's a seven." He gave the reed to the carpenter outside, and the carpenter, without a second check, cut up all the twenty-one timbers of the three rooms according to this size. When the purlin is on the second day, the two ends are tied with a rope, and the bricklayer above pulls it up, and the process of pulling it is quite smooth. Go up and try it, it's as long as the inside of the house. The two ends do not rest on the gable. The people above hurriedly put down this purlin and tried another one. It's still not long enough, I tried four or five in a row, and that's the case. All the people were stupid, including the second master and the bitter master, who sat on the ground in the courtyard and sighed. There was no way, so the construction project had to be suspended. After another three or two days, the bitter master had no choice but to use a small cart to push the twenty-one pieces of wood onto the crutch and sell them, and with a lot of money, he bought twenty-one trees again and brought them home. The three carpenters worked on it for two days, sweating profusely. Finally, the purlins are smoothed. This time, the bitter lord no longer dared to ask others to measure the size, he himself went to measure it.

That's when the house was built. The second uncle, after accepting this lesson, no longer dared not to pretend to understand, and went west in the first two years, and never measured any size for others.

Xing Er took the can of beer back to the factory, and took advantage of the fact that no one handed it over to Duo'er, Duo'er had never seen wine in an iron can when she was so old, and the baby was generally carried in her arms, entered her dormitory, hid in a small wooden box at the head of her bed, and never dared to show it again.

Daddy Niu since the last time he went back to the farm, because of the rain, left Aunt Seven in his cottage for a night, tasted the sweetness, in the afternoon of the second day, it was still very early, the two took advantage of the rain to plant the crops, in the hut after washing the face of the Aunt Seven to leave, Daddy Niu did not speak, just grabbed the corner of the Seventh Aunt's clothes with his hands, and the Seventh Aunt asked him: "What do you mean?" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, if you don't squeak, I'll go. ”

Daddy Niu's face was flushed, his mouth opened several times, and he didn't know how to express his thoughts, but he stopped talking. But his hand always grabbed Aunt Qi's clothes and didn't let go. The two are at a stalemate. Xing Eryi walked into the house and startled the two of them, Daddy Niu hurriedly let go of his hand, and Aunt Seven also turned around pretending to pick up her hair.

Seeing this scene, Xing Er tilted his head and stared at Daddy Niu for a moment, and then looked at Aunt Qi's expression, knowing that the two old guys were ashamed to speak, and no one in the middle could not do it, so he pulled Aunt Qi to sit down and asked her: "Aunt Qi, your old man is a person who understands, and you also know the environment outside in front of you. When the grain is harvested, it is pounded from the ground to the house, and a woman can't get it. I listen to you, can you agree to farm in partnership with Daddy Niu? ”

Aunt Qi was also refreshed, she said: "Farming together and living together again, I am willing." But there is one case, what does the old cow think? ”

Daddy Niu was relieved and immediately said, "I will." ”

"If you can't do it, you have to make three chapters of the law."

"As long as you loosen your mouth and marry me, you will say that the three chapters of the covenant will be in the three hundred chapters of the covenant."

"The three hundred chapters are blind and showy, and they are fooling us women for not understanding human feelings. My conditions are just three chapters, okay, let's just two families in one family, don't break up as soon as possible, don't be girls, drag thorns and run away, nothing to do, delay me to go home and feed the chickens. Aunt Qi got up to leave, but Daddy Niu panicked, and didn't dare to pull her in person, but begged Xing Er: "Leader Xing, hurry up, as soon as she leaves, after this village, there will be no more shops." He knew in his heart that today's old ladies were in high demand.

Xing Er stretched out his hand to stop Aunt Qi, asked her to sit on the edge of the kang, and said solemnly: "Aunt Qi, don't be hairy first, calm down, and sit down." Tell me the three chapters of your covenant, and we will listen to it, but if you don't say it, how will we know? ”

Daddy Niu echoed and said, "Yes, yes." If the leaders don't give instructions, how can we, the masses, do it? ”

The seventh aunt glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't play poor, if there are really two families and one family in the future, you have to take care of your cow tongue, work more, and talk less." You can't make me angry, if you get angry with my mother's body, you can't afford to pay for it. ”

Xing Er complimented: "That's, that's." Aunt Seven, your old man's body is expensive, how can he be like me, a cow daddy, with rough skin and thick meat, and he can't try to hurt even if he hits three or two soles. All right. Let's open the conditions. ”

The seventh aunt coughed lightly, and solemnly announced the third chapter of her covenant: "Meng Yiyi, you can't mix blindly with the Niu family in front of you." Especially the wife of your brothers in front of her, she resolutely broke the roots, and she wanted to couple the silk connection again, and she was sticky and didn't let go. Then go to the kang with her and do that ugly thing. The two are unclear. Once let me find out. At that time, just give me the ball and fuck off. I am not uncommon with unfaithful and unrighteous men. She paused, and then said the second one: "This time I am sitting on the mountain looking for a husband, and your ox is big without a piece of tile to cover your body, and there is no place to stand on the bottom." The family property and the house are all zero. If it weren't for Xing Erxian's nephew's kindness and taking you in here, wouldn't you be a homeless begging on the street now? Be aware of who you are. three of a kind; Even if I am sitting on the mountain looking for a husband, the popular term is now to marry a son-in-law, then this family needs me to be the only one, earn money and food, and hand it over to me, I have to spend money to ask me, and I can't save private money. Can you agree to these three? ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was hopeful, Daddy Niu's face flushed with excitement at the moment, and he nodded again and again: "Aren't you okay?" I just work and eat, and I don't care about anything else. As for the thief's slut, I broke off my relationship with her a long time ago. Leaving me and driving me out of the house, I can't forget it until I die. ”

Aunt Qi said: "To add, I can't stand the cow's temper. I heard that he also smashed the pot with garlic mortar. If I were to do this, I would have to castrate you with scissors. Just your nodding and agreeing doesn't count, this is not Xing Leader here, please ask him to be a middleman, and he has the right to be a witness to the marriage between the two of us. ”

Daddy Niu looked at Xing Er pitifully, hoping that he would come forward and say two good words for himself and fulfill his good deed.

Xing Er said: "Even if Aunt Seven trusts me, I am also the leader of Daddy Niu, so let's do it, you two old comrades live a good life, I can't ignore the difficulties in life, don't worry about planting and harvesting crops, our cattle farm has a tractor to plough the land, don't worry about hauling." After that, I tried to find a job for Daddy Niu to earn some wages to support my family's expenses. I just hope you two are doing well. Don't let me down. ”

Xing Er is really a gentleman, he started to repair tables and chairs a few days ago, and with a little income, he did not break his word, and really arranged for Daddy Niu to go to the cattle farm to watch the door, help load the cart, and guard the carpentry tools in the yard. Two dollars a day is paid. It's not light to make a seven aunt happy. In addition to telling Niu Da to work hard, she also took the time to help out a little, boiled some boiling water or something, and also took the time to clean up the yard, but she was really a warm-hearted and good person.

The seventh aunt's maiden name is Tian, and her niece's name is Tian Baobao, the one she introduced to Xing Er last time is still a high school student. On this day, I came to my aunt's house, stood in front of the house for a long time and saw no one, and when the county magistrate Hong passed by, she inquired about her aunt's whereabouts. The county magistrate Hong did not hide it, so he recounted the incident of the seventh aunt recruiting the cow to come to the door, and at the same time he told the baby that her aunt now lives in the cattle farm. showed Xing Er the door, and said that the salary was not low, 60 yuan a month. These words were heard by Xing Da who was passing by. He stopped, and made it clear what Niu Da had asked his brother to look at. Tian Baobao wanted to go to the cattle farm to find her aunt, and after the county magistrate Hong showed her the path, she also went home to work in her own wheat field with a hoe.

Tian Baobao came to the gate of the cattle farm, looked inside, and saw a big car parked in the middle of the yard. Many people were pulling the tables and chairs from the car that were missing legs and arms. Among them are also her aunts and aunts. I saw that she was moving a tabletop down, because of her old age, she was a little struggling, Tian Baobao immediately ran over to give her aunt a hand, and the two of them worked together to lift the tabletop to the ground near and put it down. Aunt Qi asked Tian Baobao: "Bao, why are you looking here?" ”

Tian Baobao pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, my mother asked you to help me go on a blind date tomorrow." ”

"What kind of blind date? Hurry up! I'm still waiting to put on the table and take it back. Xing Er suddenly interjected behind the mother's back, startling the mother.

Tian Baobao asked: "Who are you, dare to support me to work?" ”

"I'm sick with the baby stall." Xing Er said while deliberately learning from the baby stall on the spot and walked a few steps, leading the people present, regardless of gender, old and young, to laugh. Everyone laughed, making Tian Baobao blush, not leaving, not doing, Leng is there. I just put the argument around my fingers.

Seeing this, Duo'er hurriedly came over and took her hand, and said to her, "Go to my place and play back, these people are like this, and they want to make fun of Miss Jun when they see her." In fact, they don't have a bad heart, they just like to make jokes. ”

Aunt Qi also said: "Let's go with Duo'er, she is painting the paint room over there, and you two have also met." "Tian Baobao is a dignified high school student, and he is also very open, not an ordinary stupid girl in the countryside. She looked at Xing Er, and she was not afraid, and followed Duo'er to the paint room. There are many painted tables and chairs, neatly stacked against the wall. There were also several repaired tables in the center of the floor, one of which was half-painted.

Duo'er said, "You sit there for a while, and I'll finish the table quickly." Later, I will load the car, pull back the tables and chairs that have been made against the wall, and I will follow to unload the truck and make the receipt. Up to one's neck in something. I have to paint again, I have to keep accounts back and forth, and I have to record the work of the masters. It's so tiring to be alone. ”

Tian Baobao said: "Tired, won't you find someone to help?" Why torture yourself? ”

"Alas, it's hard. Like a bookkeeper receiving a note about these things, I don't feel at ease for outsiders to do it. In case you miss a cart of desks and chairs, not to mention the loss of wages, the school is not happy. Although the principal is my brother's brother-in-law, he has a business trip, and people are embarrassed, right? Duo'er said this, and her hands did not dare to stop working. Tian Baobao simply rolled up his sleeves to help her. Since I had never dried the paint, I accidentally dripped the paint on my shoes, and the corners of my pants were stained on them. Duo'er wanted to get her work clothes, but Tian Baobao didn't follow it, for fear of delaying time. Duo'er asked, "What's your name, I can call you if you understand." ”

"My name is Tian Baobao, what about you? I heard my aunt say that your name is Duo'er, right? ”

"Yes, my name is Duo'er, I'll call you Sister Baby after I stay, will you go to the car with me later, okay? The big car can seat two people, and I will give you the benefit when I come back. Doll said.

Tian Baobao chuckled: "I know your benefits, you must have persuaded me to be your sister-in-law, right?" ”

Duo'er shook her head, and then said mysteriously: "Principal Xu gave my brother a precious tin can, saying that it was filled with wine, and it was locked in my small box. Have you ever drunk wine in a tin can? ”

Tian Baobao shook his head, indicating that he had never drunk it. She quickly glanced out at Xing Er, who was sweating all over his head, and saw that he was in normal health. Climbing the car box or jumping to the ground, and walking is nothing abnormal, especially the hearty laughter of the cool man, which makes Tian Baobao's heart tremble. At this time, she felt that the blind date was a little abrupt, and it was not too late for Xing Er to explain clearly. She agreed to Duo'er's request, and after loading the car, regardless of Xing Er's objections, she climbed into the car and went to unload the car with Duo'er, and Xing Er instructed Duo'er next to her; "Come back with some meat and vegetables, I'm going to have a treat in the evening."

In the car, Tian Baobao asked Duo'er: "Whose guest is he going to invite at night?" ”

Duo'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Anyway, it's not to invite me, whoever is handsome will invite whom." ”

Xu Guangda saw that Duo'er led a beautiful girl into the finance department, so he came over and told Sù Duo'er that it was his brother-in-law who was in charge of logistics in the county government, and he was called brother-in-law in the countryside. said that the county government conference room should make some tables and chairs, luxurious. In addition, the auditorium should be made of rows of wooden chairs, which were all handed over to the county wood factory in the past, that is, Wang Youhua's factory. It hasn't been handed over there yet, if Xing Er can make a joint chair, it would be better. Because the chair is simpler. But the drawings are in the carpentry factory. Xing Er has to try to get his hands on it. Do it or not, please Xing Er decide. With the good news, Duo'er was very excited. Tian Baobao was also happy. The repair of the tables and chairs for the school at the cattle farm is almost complete. She is worried that she can't catch up with the stubble, but this is good, the county government is a large unit, and the auditorium for the meeting must be very large, and it is guaranteed to do a lot of joint chairs. Tian Baobao thought in his heart that he would also do farm work when he went home. It's better to stay in the cattle farm and help Duo'er paint, first, to relieve Duo'er's siege, and secondly, to earn some wages, her brother-in-law Niu Daddy still has 60 yuan a month, and he can earn the same as him. Besides, taking this opportunity to investigate Xing Er's words, deeds, and moral sentiments is also a big deal. Finding a good man is more important than farming to earn money.

In the evening, Xing Er asked Duo'er to fry a few dishes with Aunt Qi. He also asked Daddy Niu to go to the small pond below and catch two fish and stew them. He set up a wooden table in the courtyard to eat. The people outside have gone home. There are two old cow fathers and seven aunts left in the cattle farm, plus Tian Baobao. Here are the two brothers and sisters. The five people sat down according to their value and status. Duo'er even brought out the porridge pot, ready to scoop it into a bowl, and distributed a bowl to each person.

Xing Er said: "Don't be busy eating, take out the iron can wine and taste the freshness." Duo'er Huan stepped into the room and opened the small wooden box at the head of the bed, took out the beer and handed it to Xing Shuang. Xing Er admired the treasure like a baby, took the beer in front of his eyes to watch and play, and deliberately brought it to his ear, shaking it vigorously to listen to the sound of water swaying there. After a while, the other four people present all played with their hands. They all followed Xing Er's example, shaking the iron can vigorously, and then put their ears next to listen to the sound of water in the can.

Xing Er took back the jar from Duo'er's hand, followed Xu Guangda's example, pulled the top buckle with his fingers, and pulled it hard, but the beer inside shot out, like a water gun, Tian Baobao sat opposite Xing Er, and the wine went straight to her. "Wow" burst out of her face, defenseless, such a guy, anxious she shouted: "Where to go, wow, make people's faces full of water!" ”

Xing Er didn't expect this to happen, seeing Tian Baobao shouting, his hand subconsciously tilted to the side, but unexpectedly aimed at Aunt Qi again, giving her a chest.

Duo'er was in a hurry and shouted, "Brother, come to the pot." When she said this, she reminded Xing Er, he pointed the jar at the porridge pot, who would think, just a little bit of it will not take off. It's just some foam. Xing Er wanted to try how much wine was still in the can, but after checking it, it was estimated that there was less than half a can left. I put it in my ear and shook it, I wanted to hear how much wine there was and how little wine there was, but it didn't matter if I shook it, and the wine squirted out from the top sip. Xing Er had experience this time, so he hurriedly let it bubble into the pot, but after a run or two, it stopped again.

Tian Baobao concluded: "Don't shake it, it seems that this thing is afraid of shaking." ”

Xing Er nodded "yes". He motioned to Duo'er to bring a small wine cup for drinking liquor, and each person poured a cup to taste, and the eldest father drank it first, wiped his mouth with his hand, stroked his beard and said, "There is no smell of alcohol at all, not spicy." There are some cats who rush out of their stomachs. ”

Duo'er, Tian Baobao, and Aunt Qi are all women, they have good morals, although they also have some horse urine feelings, but they are all Zou frowned, and the dirty words did not come out of their mouths.

Aunt Qi said: "Duo'er, go to my house to get the wine jar, or our local Baijiuchun is the right goods." Xing Er went out to see that it was his brother Xing Da, who took a stick and chased his sister-in-law Liu Cuihua. The two of them are the wife in front, with a cloak and a disheveled hair, and the man in the back is full of wine, waving a wooden stick and chasing after him. When Liu Cuihua saw Xing Er, she stepped forward to hug him and cried, "Brother, help、、、、、、。 ”
