Volume 1 Mountain Town Chapter 1 Brother and Sister-in-law and Third Brother

Zhang Yingquan is five feet tall and eight, equivalent to one meter seventy-five in later generations, which is already a 'look up' figure in the mountains, the only fly in the ointment is the hair, the old people can't stand it, what is this, there are more short hairs than monks, this is probably in the capital has died a few times, young people don't care about hair and skin! If you tie a braid, you will die? This is good, but if you go out, you have to wear a wig and hat, and you are not afraid of covering the heat in the hot weather?

Speaking of this, the two elder brothers don't know if it's okay, they don't care, the eldest brother Zhang Yingde has been working in front of the high-temperature furnace for many years, his hair has already been burned to a sparse place, so he simply goes bald and saves trouble, and works with a towel all day long, even if he walks around the town, he doesn't care, and no one cares, what you eat is this bowl of rice, which will be called a professional image in later generations.

The second brother Zhang Yingye is no better there, he himself thinks that the blacksmith should not have long hair, let alone tie that damn braid, as for the third brother, although he also works in front of the furnace, but he is literate and hyphenation, and he is smart. However, it is not a matter of a day to keep his hair, and when he is in charge of things independently, he will be naturally straight, let him go!

People say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, this is not! The two sisters-in-law can't hold their breath, this little uncle is handsome, strong, well-educated, and our family is well-off, so let's talk about the last family first, don't let people see jokes.

Zhang Yingquan's eyelids are high, the girls in the mountains are not worthy, and they can do it outside the mountains! Although the relatives are enthusiastic, but also poor and exquisite, even if you are a little shopkeeper, it is useless, the good lady saw the true face, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving a sentence: wait for the hair to grow and then say!

I'm dying. This little uncle is really, he just cut his short hair in Nanyang, and it's been a few months since he came back, but he doesn't have long hair.

Although Zhang Yingquan has obtained a thinking system that has traveled through and has also integrated the values of later generations, the current situation of life has not changed, and the main body of memory has not changed.

Zhang Yingquan's braid was cut off on the ship that went to Nanyang with his master, because he had prickly heat on his head at that time, and the old boatman grabbed the scissors without his consent, cut the braid of more than ten years in three or two clicks, and handed the long hair back to you, and said in a muffled voice: "Go back and make a wig hat!" ”。

The old boatmen who ran through the South Seas basically cut their braided hair, the lack of fresh water on the ship, the waves, the wind, the hot weather, the dirty braid is really in the way, plus the Nanyang popular Western style, the pig's tail is not less funny, and it is simply cut, but it is reluctant to cut, and the feeling after cutting is wide and the sky is wide, if he is allowed to keep his hair braided, it will be difficult!

Zhang Yingquan inherited the short hair, and of course he was happy with it. This is still considered long hair according to the standards of later generations, the kind of hairstyle that can just float up when the wind blows, anyway, you wear a wig and hat when you go to the county seat or Hangzhou Mansion.

This braided hair has become a prop of etiquette, and the value choice of "keeping your hair without keeping your head" has become child's play, as if Westerners wear top hats when they go out, it has become a regular etiquette, but this is also the place where the port is opened in the south, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, if it is in the imperial court, no one dares to make a mistake.

The eldest brother Zhang Yingde has a stable temperament, follows the crowd in everything, follows fate, and belongs to a kind person.

Sister-in-law Huang Yuelan, who married into the Zhang family two years ago, is fifteen years younger than the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's ex-wife is Huang Yuelan's eldest sister.

The eldest sister contracted tuberculosis before getting married, and the witch doctor in the mountains said that the girl's family was happy when she passed the door, and she would change her life and transfer.

It backfired, the eldest sister still didn't get well after marrying into the Zhang family, and then it dragged on for five years, and the condition became more and more serious.

The famous doctor invited from the city said that tuberculosis is an incurable disease, and the rich and noble families will raise it for three or five years, or drag it out for seven or eight years, and it would be good for the poor to be able to drag it out for two winters. Non-medicinal stones can reverse it.

After the death of the eldest sister, the second sister-in-law Tan Guizhi was pregnant and could not take care of housework, the old shopkeeper went back and forth to ask for medical treatment and medicine, and there was a problem with her body.

Huang Yuelan was originally a fixed relative, is the village west of the fifty miles of the slope of the martial arts, called Wu Nengjing, once served as a messenger in the yamen, a little means, was conscripted into the green camp army before, it is said to make up a general from the nine products of the foreign commission, his subordinates ordered the hundred and ten people, go to the south to suppress bandits, before leaving to put forward a marriage request with Yuelan, hoping to leave an heir, even if he went to the land of the South Barbarians to hang up without regrets. But the eldest sister was critically ill and couldn't leave, which made the boss of the in-laws unhappy, and Yuelan stayed at Zhang's house after the funeral and did not return, which attracted gossip, quit the marriage! Huang Laohan didn't make a move, so he could only allow it.

The second daughter has reached the marriageable age, and the daughter who has been divorced can be regarded as the price of old rice has fallen, but what can I do?

Two years later, Huang Laohan still feels that there is a hurdle in his heart, and he feels more and more sorry for the two people, one is of course the second daughter Huang Yuelan, and the other is Zhang Yingde, the rich bride price when marrying can not be counted, just say that the Zhang family married a sick daughter, the same love, no half of the complaint, so far, every New Year's holiday as usual for several weeks, is still the father-in-law Taishan like respect, good people!

It's only because the eldest daughter is blessed and shallow.

The second daughter Huang Yuelan, of course, is a beautiful embryo, and in the past two years, people have been proposing, but she just can't look down on it, she can't drag it out, after twenty years is an old girl, the second daughter is not in a hurry, Huang Laohan is really a little broken, and he can't miss the second daughter's lifelong event!

Aunt Zhou, a neighbor, often comes to visit the door, and she says what the girl thinks: "She has a crush on the Zhang family!" ”

Huang Laohan suddenly became enlightened, isn't this the best of both worlds? So I asked someone to say that I was close, and I hit it off, although I was older, but after all, I was filling my sister's room, and I said that I was a family, and the difference of more than ten years was nothing, and the whole family was good to Yuelan! This is more important than anything else.

But the fly in the ointment is that Yuelan has been through the door for two years, and her stomach has never moved, which is regrettable.

The second brother Zhang Yingye has an easy-going temperament, is talkative, likes to do things, and belongs to a bad and good person.

The second sister-in-law Tan Guizhi and the second brother had a daughter after marriage, and she is now two years old.

After Zhang Yingquan came back, the courtyard of the Zhang family was more lively, the people in the mountains were originally rude, and there was no secret to hide between the brother and sister-in-law and the little brother-in-law, the compound was not big, they were together all day long, and they said a joke, the little brother-in-law had a spring dream and nagged the sister-in-law in his mouth, and the second sister-in-law hummed to the third watch, complaining that "the work is not contrived", everyone can know that it is not dawn, and no one cares.

The people in the mountains say: The brother-in-law plays with the sister-in-law, just like playing the bitch. The "bitch" that the mountain people understand does not mean to be cheap, but to take it for granted. Besides, bitches were a ninth-rate profession in those days, and being a bitch was also a way to live. It is natural for men to play bitch, and this is the case in a patriarchal society, sleeping with a wife is sleeping, and sleeping with a bitch is also sleeping, and it is not illegal to do so.

In fact, the age of the two sisters-in-law is close to Zhang Yingquan, the sister-in-law is only two months older, and the second sister-in-law is older, but she is less than two years old. If nothing happens, no one really has a letter, and all such families in the mountains are the same!

The people in the mountains are poor, they can't afford their mother-in-law, they often collect all their family wealth, just for the eldest to get a daughter-in-law, the second child has no hope, so he is addicted, and sometimes he steals something new, and the boss doesn't say anything, anyway, the blood is connected, it is not against humanity, and even who is the child's blood relative? The meat is rotten in the pot, and it is not an outsider who steals it. This is the case if you hear that a child is "two children in one house." Not surprising! Traditional Chinese culture is very secular: laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitute.

Zhang Yingquan left home when he was young, although he has only been back for more than three months, but the family is a family, and soon there will be no distinction between you and me, the second sister-in-law likes to play around, and often makes the third brother happy.

"Oops!" The second sister-in-law stepped in from outside the door: "Third brother! What were you doing in Yuelan's room just now? Why did you stop when you saw me? ”

"Didn't do anything, helped."

"Eat human tofu, right? The hand is not honest! ”

"Not really! Just give it a hand. Second sister-in-law, you think too much. ”

"Hurry up and talk about a daughter-in-law, otherwise...... Hee-hee! ”

"If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, you will live with your two sisters-in-law for the rest of your life." Zhang Yingquan's ability to chat with girls online in later generations is average, but it is a killer level at the moment.

"What a sweet mouth! It's comfortable to listen to. ”

The second sister-in-law went out and came back before she was still satisfied, and the god chattered: "You are good with Yuelan, why didn't you leave a seed, and your stomach has not moved?" ”

“……”

"It's not like you, like your eldest brother, who was roasted by the blast furnace or something, right?"

"What? Talk nonsense, and your sister-in-law will turn her face with you. ”

"Don't make a fuss, let's tell you! Your big brother may have really roasted that or something. The second sister-in-law blinked, and she didn't know how to describe it, "Yuelan is hello, throw a seed to her, anyway, brother, ask for that...... Ha! You don't want to find out what you're going to do, are you? How boring, you love me, no one objects, really! People say that 'a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing', really! ”

Zhang Yingquan finally collapsed and rushed out of the door, just as his sister-in-law wanted to step into the door and almost bumped into it.

"What are you two talking about? So lively? ”

It's really exciting to be teased by my sister-in-law, a simple feeling, between men and women, and between family affection? That itch in my heart!

Zhang Yingquan stood quietly in the courtyard, and the two young sisters-in-law whispered in their rooms, and suddenly let out an uncontrollable laugh of "eat and eat".

I hope this simple way of life can be sustained.

Another voice lingered in my mind: Wear clear and don't rebel, chrysanthemum set electric drill!
