Chapter 15: Heading South< a>
The anxious shouts of "Big Bull, Big Bull" came from far and near. A figure ran down the dirt road from the head of the village. Stop outside the fence of a house in the middle of the village. The main house of this family was made of bricks made of mud. There are also a few earthen rooms on the left-hand side. From the house, a voice sounded like an urn, "Dog, what's the matter?" As he spoke, a young man in his twenties came out. A simple and honest face, the figure is not particularly tall, but it looks particularly burly, and the skeleton has a tendency to develop in all directions. It's not fat, on the contrary, it should be thin and thin. It's just that because he is wearing wide clothes on his body, people look like a big man with a tiger's back at first glance. If you look closely, you can see that something is wrong, with an honest face revealing green and yellow dishes, and walking is a little drifting.
"Dog, let me tell you, didn't you tell me to fight again? I'm not going. The bull looked at the dog outside the fence.
The man outside the fence was also a young man in his twenties, with slender cheeks and a thin figure, but a pair of small eyes that turned quite energetically. "How can it? Come out, I have something to say to you. At this moment, an old woman in her fifties came out of the house, with a thin face and gray hair, "Little dog, what do you want to do with my big cow?" The big cow will have to carry water later! ”
The dog laughed with him, "Auntie, I really have something to say to Da Niu" These two people, the strong young man is called Wu Da Niu, and the thin young man is called Li Ergou, and people call him 'Gouzi'. The two are from the same village, and Li Ergou is a month older than Wu Daniu. Grew up together. Li Ergou has been clever since he was a child, and Wu Da Niu is honest and has no heart. Follow Li Ergou in everything.
Wu Daniu practiced with the old style in the village for several years when he was a child, and he knew a few rough punches and feet, but he knew how to use three moves and two styles. However, there is a proverb in martial arts, 'one force will drop ten times'. Wu Daniu gave full play to this sentence. His innate divine power was used to the end. The left and right are just fighting with people, and his body strength is not lost, and he has not encountered a real technical master, but he has made a little famous. Where do you know that if you beat someone, they will really sue you, and the family will have to apologize, and you have to send a few old hens that lay eggs at home. The already poor home is getting bleaker and bleaker. The eldest sister and the second sister who married out of Lu sometimes secretly sent some rice noodles to their parents' family. The hoe raised by the old father didn't dare to hit the kneeling son for a long time, and he was reluctant, there was only one son among the five children. The old tears begged Wu Daniu not to go out and get into trouble. What if someone is killed one day? Wu Daniu lowered his head and did not speak.
Actually, Wu Daniu really doesn't like to cause trouble, and Li Ergou takes it with him every time. Li Ergou didn't make trouble in the village, he ran to the streets of the town and the streets of the county seat. Wu Da Niu was pulled in order to have a military backing. So what is Li Ergou running out for?
Because poor! He wants to make some money, he wants to have enough to eat, it's as simple as that. And there is food and drink, and he also remembers his brother Wu Daniu. If he really fights, he won't run, he will take a wooden stick and a brick to look at the hole for others. "Da Niu, I heard a message outside." Li Ergou pulled Wu Daniu and stood at the corner of the house.
Wu Daniu didn't speak, looking at Li Ergou. Li Ergou was a little excited, "Da Niu, I heard that there are many people working there in the south, and if you don't get it, you can enter the factory!" "Li Ergou's family is even worse than Wu Daniu's family.
"Really?" Wu Daniu's eyes widened, and then slowly dimmed, "Can Daddy let me go so far?" Li Ergou said in detail what he heard outside, and of course there were some things he automatically made up in his brain. But Wu Daniu's mind was moved, but he didn't speak. Without Wu Daniu's peers, you let Li Ergou go out alone to face the Huahua World outside, Li Ergou didn't dare.
Li Ergou was a little anxious, "Big Niu, when will we get the money to ask for a daughter-in-law?" , the horse in Pingkou Village left yesterday, ah! We've got the money, so you'll be able to eat your fill! ”
A thousand words are better than to get to the point. Li Ergou said this because this is Wu Daniu's sore spot. Since Wu Daniu can remember, Wu Daniu has never really eaten enough. Don't mention it at home, let him let go of the amount to eat, will the family still be alive? Li Ergou once took Wu Daniu to a friend's house in the town. The Chinese people are hospitable, and that friend met Wu Daniu for the first time. When eating, I was afraid that he would see life, so I beckoned him to eat. Wu Daniu was not polite, after this meal, the friend's face was like earth. In the end, Wu Daniu was not full, and he was so frightened that the friend sat on the stool and overturned.
Wu Daniu nodded, turned around and walked home. This time, no matter what, I have to go out, and I can save some food for my family, but my family is really miserable. As for how to convince his parents, he has already made up his mind. Do the family members still have to chain themselves?
Xu Xin closed the door and sat on a small square stool at home, smoking a pack of eight-cent 'production' brand cigarettes. This is an ordinary settlement in a small town. Xu Xin's home is in the innermost room on the second floor of a certain building. This house is not small, if it is only for one person. However, there are five people living here. Separated from the house, gray cloth was hung with iron wire, and the inside part was the bedroom of his wife and the outside part was a bed for the old father and mother. This outside part is also used as a place for the family to eat. The four-year-old son is accompanied by his parents when he sleeps at night.
Now that no one in the family is there, Xu Xin sits quietly. Cigarette after cigarette snorted in his mouth. The room had reached the point where it was hard to breathe and it was hard to open my eyes. The red-eyed Xu Xin didn't notice it.
There was a sound of the door opening. Liu Hong pushed open the door, and a puff of smoke billowed out. Liu Hong, who was unprepared, was caught off guard and was choked with a dry cough. Waving his little hands and slapping the pungent smell of smoke. A fire in your home? Liu Hong's first thought rose up. looked at it in a panic, but happened to see Xu Xin sitting quietly in the room, "Xu Xin, what's wrong?" ”。 Xu Xin saw his wife walk in and showed a reluctant smile. Liu Hong opened all the doors and windows of the house and came to sit down beside her husband.
Xu Xin dropped the cigarette butt and looked at his wife with red eyes, "I have decided, resign and go to the south." Liu Hong opened her mouth. She looked at her husband in astonishment. Xu Xin sneered, "I had another quarrel with the top today, and the head of the factory said that he would change my job." "Liu Hongzhi said that her husband is a middle-level cadre in the factory, but it has always been very difficult to offend the relationship above within the scope of his jurisdiction." I can see it through, I don't care if I don't offend people, I don't care if I offend a large number of people. This factory won't last a few years! Xu Xin looked at the house, "Look, we are still living in such a house now, and the child will grow up soon, what will we do then?" It's better to go to the south while you're still young."
Liu Hong gently put her hand in her husband's wide palm, "If you have made up your mind, then you can go, there is me at home, you don't have to worry." Mom and Dad, I'll serve well."
Xu Xin held his wife's rough little hand and rubbed it gently, "When I'm not here, you don't have to hold on, if there's something wrong, I'll go to the eldest brother and second brother to help" Xu Xin's eldest brother and second brother have already married a family, and they left their parents and moved to a small house divided by the unit, and their family background is not stronger than Xu Xin. Xu Xin had only one thought in his heart: If I can't mix with people, I will never come back.
