Lao Yu had a difficult situation at home, and he couldn't come forward to manage it himself. After thinking about it, I wanted to find someone to come forward and say yes. Isn't the village renovated in the village, the old village cadres are old, right? The specific work is done by the people below, and if it can't be done, it is handed over, and he himself goes out. This family moved to the south of his hometown, which was still very close to him, and was his godmother, or how to say it was his housework. The old lady's house is right in the middle of the four towers. There is also a main street involved. The people below went to work, the old lady was silent, and the mobilization was urgent, and the old lady said angrily: "Tell me to come, and I will agree to pick up the house." Lao Yu listened to the report of the people below, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart, although he grew up in his grandmother's house since he was a child. But it's not uncommon to go home. The two houses are separated by a low wall, and it is easy to climb over them.

After breakfast that day, he went to the rich goods mall for a turn, and when he came back, he didn't return to the village committee, and went directly to his godmother's house. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted: "Godmother, I'm here." ”

The old lady looked at her godson, patted Mazha beside her, and told him to sit down. Wait for the old to sit down. She unhurriedly proposed a house condition called Lao Yu who was simply unbelievable. You can't guess anywhere, not even the gods. This condition is to ask Lao Yu's father to go over to her garden!

Garden? Where is this, I am confused, and my parents have been married for so many years. Even his own son is about to find a daughter-in-law, what kind of house is with her?

The old lady saw that Lao Yu was not embarrassed, so she said, "Go home and ask your mother, she knows what is going on." ”

Lao Yu felt even more strange and went home and told his mother about it. His mother snorted and said, "Son, this family has taken care of the house." You don't care. Boss thief, see how I clean you up.

When I get old enough to do things, I go out to do other things. As soon as he left the house, her mother ran to the low wall of the two houses in three steps and two steps, and shouted at the other side, "Boss thief, come out, wow." This matter must be decided today! ”

Lao Yu's godmother did not show weakness, jumped out of the house, went straight to the bottom of the low wall, pointed here and scolded: "Little vixen, solve it!" The original agreement doesn't count, and the old lady will count it with your old account and new account today. Robbed my man for so many years. I'm fighting with you! ”

"Your man?" Lao Yu Niang sneered: "Is there a certificate?" Those who drive cars and motorcycles on the highway must have a small notebook. Issued by the family. You say the man is yours, do you have a registration certificate? ”

Lao Yu's godmother was also unambiguous: "Little fox spirit, do you want to prove it?" I'm in front, you're behind. Wouldn't it be uninteresting for me to get the certificate, if it wasn't for the war, we had a house, how could there be anything about you? The two were arguing, and his father entered the house on crutches. When he saw that the two women were arguing again, he stepped forward, separated them with a stick, and lay down on the wall, and said to the other side, "Son-in-law, what is the quarrel?" Every time you quarrel, you find fault. You're not going to let her do it? I've been arguing about this for decades, but I haven't been able to distinguish between the high and low eyebrows. I see, you two can't kill me, don't worry. ”

Lao Yu's godmother saw the old man entering the house from that side, and immediately became anxious: "No, you went to the wrong door, right?" Today is the fifteenth day of the day, but the sun has not yet set. Every time you speak, it's a sentence to the little fox, you come over to me! You don't want to listen. Hmph, you wait, I'll crawl over and pull you over. ”

Old Yu Niang stomped her feet: "Didn't you say that the agreement doesn't count?" What a groove again! ”

"Wow, you don't want to leave that little fox, do you? Watch me crawl over and pull you. Lao Yu's godmother scolded while climbing the low walls of the two houses that were less than one and a half meters high. But Bi Jing is in his seventies. It's okay to talk about it, but it's still a little difficult to really climb that wall. finally stepped on his own pestle and put one leg on the wall, but that leg didn't listen to him. I can't make it hard, and I can't move it to this wall. Seeing this, his father hurried over, grabbed her arm, and lifted her up with all his might, and then dragged her over. After landing, the old man said breathlessly: "Today, the little vixen made me angry. ”

Lao Yu Niang helped her to walk into the house, and was still scolding her: "Boss thief, you can't do it, look at me as light as a swallow." She stretched out her arms to make a swallow flying, but accidentally twisted her waist. Suddenly I couldn't straighten my waist.

Lao Yu's father scolded her: "Oh, you have to sè again, isn't it when your waist is stretched." It's not okay to be old, what's the use of people getting old. ”

He sighed and walked into the house with one in his hand.

It's strange to say, these two old ladies, although they gritted their teeth noisily, they really touched a piece, and it was you who supported me, and I pulled you. Especially older than his father, for fear that this one will fall and that one. Why did he care so much about these two women? You may not believe it, but they are both his wives. It's all the original. God makes people, and it is the unforgettable history that has caused today's complicated situation by mistake.

The old Yu's hometown, in the southernmost part of the village, is close to the earthen fence of the village. The elder Yu and the thief boss are engaged to a doll, the thief boss's maiden family is richer, the marriage is real, and there are matchmakers and witnesses. There was also a marriage certificate back then. The old society did not want to go to the government to register. The eldest thief was fifteen years old, and the elder was fourteen. It's time for the end of the garden. Lights up at home. At that time, the father and brother of the thief boss were still very powerful, and they were doing some errands for the national army. On the day of the wedding, there were a lot of relatives and friends who came to congratulate him. packed the courtyard of the Yu family at that time. Red happy characters, red lanterns, pasting couplets, riding horses and saluting for three days. The whole wedding was very smooth, heaven and earth worshipped, the high hall also worshipped, and the husband and wife worshiped each other until the second ceremony, and a gunshot made the wedding a mess. At that time, the district squadron fought with the returning regiment that went to the countryside to sweep and loot grain. The battlefield lies outside the fence of the house. The roar of grenades was mixed with the sound of machine guns. This is good, the father and brother of the thief boss are villains, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they slipped out of the kidnapping village with the thief boss. Flee back to Zhangdiancheng along Weizigou. Within a few days, the People's Liberation Army attacked the stronghold of Zhangdian City, and the brother of the thief boss was shot and killed indiscriminately. She and her father fled to Jinan, hiding in their aunt's house and not daring to come back. That's it for more than a year.

I didn't see my daughter-in-law come back here, and I didn't see my daughter-in-law come back. No one is alive, no corpse is dead. After a few more days, the Yu family simply didn't wait. I found my mother, who was older than now, as my daughter-in-law. The two also went to the newly established township government to take notes. On the day of the wedding, before entering the cave, the thief boss entered the door under the leadership of her aunt. At first glance, the Yu family held another wedding, and made a big fuss on the spot, flipped the table and smashed the oranges, making the Yu family upside down. At that time, the old society had just been replaced by a new society. In the past, the Ming media was marrying for thousands of years. It has long been firmly rooted in people's hearts. Young people have progressive brains, and the elderly on the side who support obtaining the certificate are influenced by feudal society and focus on the side where the Ming media is marrying. The old man said, "They are baby relatives, and they have been in contact with their families for a few years, and they are villagers in the village, who doesn't know?" Who doesn't know? What's more, at the time of the wedding, heaven and earth had already worshipped, and the high hall had also worshipped, and the husband and wife had almost worshipped each other, and they were almost the last step of entering the cave room, and it stands to reason that more than 80% of the entire procedure had been held. It should be judged as a rite of worship. They are legally husband and wife. Young people don't admit this account, what is Licheng? What does it mean that Ming Media is marrying? It doesn't count, only the certificate of the people's government counts, as long as you get the certificate, you are also a husband and wife if you don't hold a wedding.

The Yu family was originally small, just a few families. A few elders discussed and discussed, but they couldn't be the masters. Especially the thief old aunt, who was born in business. Speaking is the way, and the head is the way. also found out several old people who gave the Yu family a marriage to testify to prove that this marriage did exist. He also invited the gentleman who presided over the wedding that year, and he explained the wedding scene in detail, in a word, it was nothing more than to prove that the marriage in front was valid and the marriage in the back was invalid. Civil mediation can't be done, and the parents of the two women won't let anyone. The housekeeper of the Yu family had no choice, so he reported the matter to the then chief. The chief of the village is Wang Hongxing, that is, Wang Shengli's father. At that time, the country had just been founded, and the shape was still unstable. The remnants of the Kuomintang and the local reactionary forces are still rampant. Kidnappings and assassinations of party members and cadres have occurred from time to time.

That night, Wang Shengli and her father came to Yu's house with two militiamen to deal with the matter. He was illiterate, he was a coarse. As soon as he entered the door, he instructed the militia: "Tie them all up." ”

The two militiamen didn't say a word, one for each person, and tied the two new daughters-in-law strongly. Escorted to Wang Shengli and knelt down in front of his father. When the two old men saw this frame, they stammered in fright. Especially the thief boss from Jinan, her aunt, whose husband had just been shot for less than a year, was scared and asked what was going on.

Wang Shengli and her father were very simply: "You two are fighting so urgently, pull out one person and one gun, and ask the Yu family to find another girl, don't you have it." Save the hassle.

The two old men were really scared, knelt on the ground and begged, and let the government judge. Wang Shengli and his father saw that they had suppressed the two families, so they came up with a bad idea, and the two daughters served the same husband. This was normal in the old society, but not in the new society. But as soon as he was liberated, Wang Shengli and her father were at this level, and no one in the two families would withdraw from their relatives, so what should he do?

The two old people felt that this method was okay. But the two families quarreled again over who was bigger and who was small. Who is willing to be the little mother-in-law, the little mother-in-law is a concubine, and she is angry. The two families quarreled for a while, and the angry Wang Shengli and her father pulled out the box gun, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and said loudly: "Whoever quarrels again, Lao Tzu will kill him." The two militiamen who came with him also took the big guns off their backs and put them in their hands as a precaution. For those who have just come from the war, the strings of armed struggle are still very tight. Always ready to fight, the reality of the brutal struggle against the enemy has created their habit of firing guns. At that time, the barrel of the gun spoke.

Wang Shengli and his father asked, "Who is the oldest of you?" ”

The eldest thief was sixteen years old at the time, and the younger one was one year old, ten years younger. Wang Shengli's father announced on the spot: "The big year is big, and the small year is small." You two rounds of waiters, one in the first half of the month, and the other in the second half of the month. The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is limited to darkness, if anyone does not listen. If you look for trouble again, you will be punished as a collaborator and shot! Did you two hear that?" He shook the box gun in front of the faces of the two women: "This agreement is valid for a lifetime. Remember, on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the sun sets as the boundary. Whoever dares to disobey? The government of the border region will never spare her. The rest of the things are discussed by the three of you. After saying that, Wang Shengli and her father left with two militiamen.

Since then, this matter has gone through in such a mess. The people do not sue, and the officials do not hold them accountable. The two women quarreled and worked for a long time. It became a habit. The Yu family separated six east houses into two courtyards. Two daughters-in-law, one in the south and one in the north. The middle wall is very low, which is convenient for the old man to climb his father. The eldest mother-in-law has never been happy in her life, only the second mother-in-law laid an egg and gave birth to Lao Yu. The little mother-in-law is afraid that the eldest mother-in-law will make a bad move, so she doesn't dare to keep the child at home, which is the real reason why Lao Yu has lived in her grandmother's house since she was a child. In fact, the eldest mother-in-law is well-read, she is literate, and she is the daughter of a large family. The way of Confucius and Mencius, three from four virtues. Ingrained in her mind. Otherwise, she would have run away a long time ago, and she would have been able to stay here for fifty or sixty years? Older than his father, he was a carpenter. Walk the streets and alleys to do carpenter's work. He will have more money on hand, and he earns four or six dollars for both sides of the expenses, forty percent in the south courtyard and sixty percent in the north courtyard. The cost of one more child in the North Courtyard is numb. At that meeting, the production team will have their own share of the grain. The land reserved by the two families is planted by two women. In the fight for men, they are jealous and-for-tat, and no one will let anyone. Can work two people with tacit understanding. Life is even more leaky, two women together hurt a man, that is the blessing of the carpenter. Can fight for the wind. That's enough for him. For example, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is handed over, and I want him to stay longer, and then go over after dinner, but over there, don't do it. Waiting for dinner to come over. There is a sun to say, the sun goes down and leaves. If it rains on a cloudy day, and then catches up with two women to make an awkward scene, it will be bitter for the carpenter.

The two women each laid an iron anchor on each side of the wall, which was a long fire basket and smashed into the ground. Lao Yu climbed up the wall and was just about to pass, when someone over there followed. I feel awkward here, and I don't want to call him over or find fault with him. I quickly grabbed the foot that hadn't even stepped over. Take a rope and tie it to the ground anchor. Look over there, okay, you tie one foot and don't let you come. I also tied this foot to the one that came over and wouldn't let me go back. Yu Carpenter rode on the wall and listened to the two women start scolding each other. He muttered vigorously, "Help, help," and neither of the two women listened to his words.

Nanyuan said: "Little vixen, can't you wait? Hey, the sun hasn't come out yet. Wait, when there is sun, we will release people. ”

Beiyuan said even more beautifully: "Wow, the man is not my alone, let him lie on the wall." Bing's stomach hurts, or Bing's illness is something, and we both suffer. I'm a year younger than you anyway, and I can't toss and can't collapse. ”

Nanyuan said: "Anyway, I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed in the first half of the month, and I have been sleeping in my arms for fifteen days, and I am tired." Just resting on the bones, this night three or four times, it's really tiring and desolate. Besides, Bing came to live in your house when he was sick, and you happened to be serving him. ”

Nanyuan was angry when he heard it: "Okay, the days are over, aren't they?" I'm going to go to Wang Hongxing and ask him to come and see who broke the armistice agreement. He had to eat a gun. ”

The south courtyard saw that the north courtyard really went to find the cadres of Zhuangshang. Hurriedly looked at the footline. Help the carpenter to climb over, and after landing on the ground, the carpenter squatted down and opened the foot rope on the north side. Then he hurried out. Catch up with the woman who went to complain and pull her back. The two of them went into the house to eat and sleep, and tonight's business was over.

Now we have to pick up the house and renovate the old village. This southern courtyard is in the name of the eldest mother-in-law, and if she doesn't nod her head, no one can be the master. Lao Yu went to work and figured out that his father went to the garden. It makes it very difficult for the old man. Si Lai wanted to go, but he still wanted to invite Li Er to sit at the Kidnapper Hotel, have a light meal, and drink some wine at the dinner table. Say it, please. If you don't drink some wine, this matter of mobilizing his own father to go to the garden with other women, he is really unspeakable as a son. I thought it would have been done two days before, but that day I was making a big difference. offended Li Er, Li Er did not go to the Kidnapper Hotel for a banquet. The old man was not light, and immediately called an electrician to cut off the power to the kidnapping clinic. Although he was later allowed to temporarily use electricity from the Abduction Hotel, the matter was not over. Lao Yu also wanted to find an opportunity to ask the huge couple to raise their ideological consciousness to a higher level.

Li Er listened to Lao Yu's difficulties. If you don't want to help, Lao Yu is a village leader, and the second is a very close relative. Li Er really couldn't say anything about saving face. If you don't save face, you have to be a lobbyist. Other things may be easy to say, this is the matter of the carpenter Yu going to the south courtyard and the eldest mother-in-law's garden, this old Yu and his mother will definitely not do it. Li Er thought, this matter is done late, if Wang Shengli and her father are still alive, just go for a trip. The two old ladies were afraid of him, as long as he glared at him and touched his waist with his hand. They can be stopped without guns. It's a pity, it's a pity, the old guy left last year.

Li Er couldn't sleep at night because of this, and Zhang Fengxian thought he was sick. I wanted to call Xiao Taohong to come over, and the two took him to the hospital. Li Er sighed: "Hey, it's difficult, it's not sick, it's a pimple that can't be opened." ”

Zhang Fengxian heard that she was not sick, but she couldn't do something. He put away the phone and asked tentatively what was the matter. There aren't many things that can stump our Li Er. When she listened to Li Er's narration, there was nothing she could do. However, she built yì Li Er, or go to try...... Ponies cross the river. That is, it is not as shallow as the old buffalo said, nor as deep as the little squirrel said.

Li Eryi thought about it, and he was right. I'll try it tomorrow, how can I know if I don't try? If it's a good time, you might be able to do it. Li Er went to find Lao Yu's mother to do work, but at first, the old lady refused to agree. Yu gestured and said: "Asking them to have a house in the garden, isn't it equivalent to officially recognizing this marriage?" That's fine, his father is old anyway. The tuberculosis seedlings are not good-looking, so she got them directly. I quit. divorced, told her to get a bargain. Let's go over it. But there's one thing we have to talk about first. If he divorced, his father had to leave home. I've had enough of these days. Now that Wang Hongxing is dead, what am I afraid of? ”

Li Er said: "Grandma, you are angry. My grandfather is not in good health, so he can't live without you. Or is it appropriate for you to serve him. Everyone in the village knows that you are the real hero of the Yu family. ”

Old Yu his mother listened to Li Er's words, and insisted for a while. The matter of the garden house did not let go, and Li Er worked hard for half a day. In the end, the old woman who finally said it was moved. She promised to talk to the one in the South Courtyard.

Li Er said: "Your family's affairs are still up to you. The elder of the Southern Courtyard. I used to be unsuitable, too small, and soft-spoken. You can discuss it with her. It's nothing more than going through the motions. When people are old, they act like children, and they can't be taken seriously, and they should be a game of playing house. Isn't Shori waiting to be developed? It is mainly the renovation of old villages. They all have to go and cuddle. It's a heavy task and a tight schedule. If the task is not completed, the responsibility must be investigated. You don't expect me to be punished by my cousin, do you? ”

At the mention of her son, the old lady's heart softened. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. She discussed with Li Er: "This matter has to be done on an auspicious day." August 15 is quite suitable, and the moon of 16 is the most garden. These two days are at the mercy of the thief boss, and when the time comes, you will come to cheer her up and give her a face, and I will buy some wine and food to entertain the helpers. Spending money, I'm out. What's this, what's the matter? When my own man went to the garden room with the woman next to me, I had to pay for a treat, and I had to ask someone to help them! You say, how can there be a wronged leader like me in the world? ”

The old lady said that she wanted to be obscure. Li Er hurriedly said, "Grandma, the matter is settled." Whatever you arrange, do as you say. I'm still waiting to hear the report from the house. "It doesn't matter if the old man is happy or not, he escaped from the family compound. Before the person got home, he told his wife to make a pot of tea, and go home to rest, worrying and trembling.

The garden house was very smooth that day. There was no cloud in the sky, and the moon hung high in the sky like a silver platter. In the moonlight, [the old lady takes out the flower clothes from under the box and puts them on her body.] And he put a red veil on his head. A square table was placed in the middle of the south courtyard of Yujia, and four small plates were placed on the table, on which were placed red paper, and small items such as candy and chewing were placed on it.

Li Er announced loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the wedding continues, and the husband and wife worship each other for the third time......"

The two old men faced each other and bowed to each other.

Li Er shouted: "Licheng, send it to the cave room." With Li Er's shout, Xiao Taohong supported the old lady, Huang Dakuo and Wang Youxin carried the old man, and carefully sent them into the room. Lao Yu's mother handed over two bowls of shou noodles over the wall, and Xiao Taohong took them and sent them to the house. After watching the two old men finish eating, they took the dishes and chopsticks and went out gently. He turned around and covered the door, and said softly outside the door: "Let's rest early, let's go over the north courtyard for dinner." ”

Lao Yu arranged two large tables of wine and food in the north courtyard. He raised his glass and said to everyone, "Friends, neighbors. Thank you very much. For the renovation of the old village in the village, and for everyone to live in the building as soon as possible, cheers! ”

The north courtyard is very lively with food and drink. The South Courtyard is very calm.

The old lady sat on a bed covered with brocade quilts, and leaned her upper body against the carpenter. She muttered: "Xianggong, from today onwards, I will be the real daughter-in-law of the Yu family." I've been waiting for this day for 60 years! Xianggong, I am big, and the north courtyard is small. Xianggong, you hugged me tightly, I couldn't breathe in my heart. I, I can't do it anymore, Xianggong ,,,,,"

Carpenter Yu saw that the situation was not right, and knew that she had seen so many years in one breath, and today, when this breath was released, her whole body had no power. I can't support it. He struck the north gable behind him with his cane. The percussion is both rhythmic and rapid. This is the highest level in the code set by the three in decades.

As soon as her mother heard the signal to knock on the gable, she knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly told her son to jump over the low wall. She came in with a large crowd of people down the street. By the time she rushed into the room, the old lady was already dying. She leaned into the carpenter's arms, touched his face with a trembling hand, and said intermittently: "Xianggong,,,,, you are in charge,,, passbook for you." ,,You say about the house,,It's over. I ,,, really give up,,I can't bear your ,,, and that,,Little fox,,, raccoon,,,,,。 After saying this last sentence, the old lady let go of her hand and slowly closed her eyes. On her face, two faint old teardrops hung from it. The old man who has had a rough life is gone like this. Life is short, life is short. ，
