The Tao River, which converges from the North Ridge, divides Taocheng into two from west to east, and divides it into two districts: Taonan and Taobei. Cui Mingguo lives in Taobei District, while Daqiao lives in Taonan District.

Cui Mingguo carried a pair of shoes around his neck and a schoolbag on his back to the river, which was already three feet frozen. The thick ice is not only for pedestrians, but also for cars. Cui Mingguo slipped out of the ice a few times, went ashore, and came to Daqiao's house.

Daqiao is cooking. Cui Mingguo put down his shoes and squatted in front of the stove to help Daqiao fill the stove with firewood and barbecue potatoes. At this time, two of his nephews ran out, clamoring for baked potatoes. Cui Mingguo used a stove hook to hook a charred potato out of the stove. Hot, Cui Mingguo was blowing while pouring the potatoes between his hands, and when they were not so hot, he began to peel the skin while continuing to blow, peel the skin, break the two halves, and let the two nephews go into the house to eat.

At this time, Daqiao glanced at Cui Mingguo, thought about it, and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" How do I think something is wrong with you? ”

"What's wrong?" Cui Mingguo had a casual expression.

"I don't know, I think your spirit is wrong."

To be honest, Cui Mingguo really hasn't lied in front of his eldest sister since he was a child, and he doesn't want to lie at this moment, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and made it clear about him and Teacher Jiang from beginning to end.

He originally thought that after hearing this, Da Qiao would not be half angry like Si Qiao, and he would definitely be shocked and scolded him in a fuss. But until he finished speaking, Daqiao didn't react, what should he do, as if he was listening to Cui Mingguo talking about other people's affairs.

At this time, Cui Mingguo couldn't hold his breath, looked at Daqiao uneasily and asked, "You say, what should I do about this?" ”

Daqiao leaned down and picked the nest from the pot to the basin, and asked knowingly, "What should I do?" ”

Cui Mingguo muttered, "I'm worried that if Hou Dadao knows about this, it will be troublesome." ”

"What's the trouble with that?" Daqiao straightened his waist, stared at Cui Mingguo with his eyes and asked, "Are you still afraid that he will cut you off?" ”

"How dare he?" Cui Mingguo's neck stiffened, and he said angrily: "I'll kick him into a eunuch!" ”

"Then you want to go to prison for two years?" Da Qiao's eyes were still staring at Cui Mingguo, and those eyes seemed to be about to dig a piece of meat from Cui Mingguo's face.

"I don't want to!" Cui Mingguo lowered his head and said in a snort: "That's why I asked you what to do." ”

Daqiao didn't say anything right away, and began to get busy again, and after a while, he said to Cui Mingguo: "Hou Dadao and your eldest brother-in-law have always wanted to play the big kang game, and Teacher Jiang is also happy, but I am not happy." It seems that I have no choice but to fulfill them now. ”

When Cui Mingguo heard this, he was overjoyed. He knows that the so-called big kang game is that two couples sleep on a big kang.

The eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and Hou Dadao all work in the auditorium of the regional guest house, the eldest brother-in-law and Hou Dadao are projectionists, and the eldest sister is a cleaner. Because the eldest brother-in-law is a basic militia, he is now camping in North Ridge, and he can't come back for ten and a half days. Therefore, if they want to play the big kang game, then he Cui Mingguo can justifiably play in place of the eldest brother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Cui Mingguo couldn't help but get excited again.

Daqiao said: "Hou Dadao is still showing movies in the auditorium of the guest house, and it will be finished in another hour." When he comes home after the release, if he finds out about you and Teacher Jiang first, and when he takes a machete to settle accounts with you, we will play the big kang game with him, it will be too passive. Therefore, we have to hurry up and eat, and after eating, I will go to the auditorium of the guest house to block Hou Dadao in the auditorium and play a game of Dakang with him. Only by playing a big kang game with him first, the matter between you and Teacher Jiang will be over. ”

When Cui Mingguo heard this, he hurriedly helped the eldest sister get dinner.

Although Daqiao's father-in-law called him an old deaf head, he was not deaf, but only behind his ear, and he had to shout loudly in his ear. After eating, Daqiao lay in the ear of the old deaf head and explained a few words loudly, put on a coat, tied a headscarf, put on gloves, and led Cui Mingguo out of the door.

The two sisters and brothers crossed the river, and Daqiao asked Cui Mingguo to go home first, and she went to the auditorium alone to find Hou Dadao. Cui Mingguo asked with some concern, "Can he agree to play the big kang game?" He's not going to do anything, is he? ”

"No, it won't." Daqiao put his hands on his chest and said confidently: "I know his virtues very well, and he has always coveted me. If he touches me, he will play with his own mother. ”

Cui Mingguo didn't say anything anymore, looking at Daqiao walking away to the west, he threw off his stride and ran north.

The wind rose, the northwest wind, "whirring", rolling up the snowflakes on the trees on the ground and the house, like countless fluffy elves, pushing and shoving in the wind, spinning and whistling unscrupulously, pulling the entire broken sky, and falling down very gloomily.

Cui Mingguo ran to the door of the house, hesitated, did not go in, but turned around and ran towards the auditorium of the regional guest house, he really didn't worry about the eldest sister, what if Hou Dadao had something to do? He'd have to see for himself.

He ran to the auditorium of the district guest house, came to the side of the auditorium under a telephone pole, pedaled with both feet, picked up with both hands, climbed up in three times and two times, and then a green dragon came out of the water and leaped up to the ventilation window above the auditorium; There was a small iron rod on the windowsill, and he picked it up and pried it open with a slight prie; He got inside, stood on the beam, and saw that the movie "Comrades-in-Arms" was being shown in the auditorium, which depicted the story of the fighting friendship between the Chinese and North Korean armies during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

He, Qin Caihou, and Ma Fei often steal tickets to watch movies like this.

At this moment, he was like a monkey, jumping three times and two times to the top of the projection room. It just so happened that Daqiao had just pushed the door and walked into the screening room.

Hou Dadao was taken aback when he saw Daqiao push the door and walk in. Because Hou Dadao knew that the last movie of the day, their cleaners would not come to clean it, and would clean it before the first movie was shown the next day. But why did Daqiao suddenly come today? So, Hou Dadao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I come?" As he spoke, Daqiao sat down on the chair, "I'm here to see if you've done anything bad." ”

Hou Dadao grinned and said, "I'm honest, what bad things can I do?" ”

"Are you honest?" Daqiao put his hands on his chest and said, "Why are you honest, why do you always play big kang games with Li Dongsheng?" ”

Li Dongsheng is Daqiao's husband, and Hou Dadao is a partner, and he is also a projectionist in the auditorium of the regional guest house. Li Dongsheng is still the backbone militia in the area, and he is now camping in Beiling. Originally, Hou Dadao was also from the militia, but three years ago, he cut people and spent two years in prison, so he was expelled from the militia team.

Seeing Daqiao's arrogant look, Hou Dadao hesitated and said, "I'm not ...... I was when we two were drinking together...... Isn't it nonsense......"

"Since it's nonsense, forget it." As he spoke, he got up and was about to leave.

Hou Dadao hurriedly stopped him and asked, "No...... What do you mean? Do you ...... You're here today to play the big kang game? ”

Daqiao smiled and said, "So what?" Isn't it? Don't you want to play? ”

"It's not...... Think...... I think...... However, Li Dongsheng went camping in Beiling to practice, he is not at home, how can he play? ”

"You can find someone to replace him."

"Who's going to replace you?"

"Of course, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. Find someone from our family. ”

"Old deaf?" Hou Dadao's head rattle shook straight, clenched his fist, stretched out his index finger and said, "Can he still do that thing?" Even if he can play, Mr. Jiang won't let a bad old man play. ”

"It's not okay for the bad old man, can't it be for Ming Guo?" Daqiao sat back in his chair.

"Mingguo?" Hou Dadao smiled bitterly and said, "A little kid, is Teacher Jiang doing?" ”

"Don't always be Teacher Jiang, Teacher Jiang, the key is whether you do it or not?" Daqiao was a little impatient.

Hou Dadao immediately said with a smile on his face: "Do it, do it!" Of course I did it all. As long as I can play with you, I'll do anything. ”

Hearing this, Cui Mingguo's heart, which was sitting on the beam of the house and eavesdropping, was completely relieved. So he followed the way he came, slipped out quietly, and ran home.

Cui Mingguo and Mr. Jiang's family live in the same room in Haiming Hutong, and Mr. Jiang's house is in the innermost room east of his house.

Cui Mingguo stood at the door of his house and hesitated, did not go in, but went straight to Teacher Jiang's house and knocked on the door.

When Mr. Jiang opened the door and saw that it was Cui Mingguo, he was surprised and delighted, and asked in fear, "Why are you here?" Hou Dadao will be back in a while, how dare you come here? ”

"Don't be afraid! He won't be back tonight and all night. Cui Mingguo squeezed into the room and described to Mr. Jiang that Daqiao and Hou Dadao were going to play a big kang game.

Teacher Jiang listened, and a hanging heart finally let go, and she said as she inserted the door: "I have long known that Hou Dadao and Li Dongsheng have been playing the big kang game, but your eldest sister has always disagreed!" Now it's okay, for you, she made a 180-degree turn and took the initiative to play the big kang game. She and you are really a sister and brother! ”

Cui Mingguo said with a smile: "Then you are not emotional?" ”

Teacher Jiang also asked with a smile on his face, "What do you say?" ”

"I must be in love!" Cui Mingguo saw that Teacher Jiang was more beautiful than during the day, and he was impatient to lift her clothes.

Teacher Jiang stopped: "The children haven't slept yet, what are you anxious about?" ”

Cui Mingguo looked at Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiong, who were playing on the kang, and said unbearably hungry: "It's okay, the two of them are so small, they don't know what to do when they see it." ”

Teacher Jiang still refused: "Xiaoyu is learning to speak now, what if she learns to listen to Hou Dadao?" ”

"This is even more fearless, the big kang game is his Zhang Luo, we don't follow his wishes." Cui Mingguo said, and forcibly pulled Teacher Jiang on the kang.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Speaking of Hou Dadao in the auditorium, as soon as the movie was over, he came to the lounge next to the screening room in a hurry. Daqiao has already poked the hearth and is sitting there waiting for him.

There was a lunch box on the stove, which Hou Dadao had brought from home. He grabbed two mouthfuls of food and couldn't wait to get to bed. He didn't toss a few times, he couldn't hold himself and finished eating.

Da Qiao saw that Hou Dadao was finished, so he was so anxious that he grabbed him and shouted, "Oh, why did you stop?" Move again! ”

But Hou Dadao was already more than capable but not strong, and he was already like a worm and retreated.

At this time, Daqiao was in a commotion to the extreme, and when he saw Hou Dadao like a bean sprout pulling there, he was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and there was smoke in the seven orifices. She pushed Hou Dadao, twisted it on him a few times, and scolded: "Snort, you still want to play the big kang game with bean sprouts?" It's enough to keep Mr. Jiang from eating wild food......"

Hou Dadao's face was full of shame, and he didn't say anything, and hurriedly got into the quilt to massage Daqiao.

Da Qiao, who lived for more than 30 years, really hadn't gone through this incident, and felt a little interesting, so he stopped scolding him, loosened his legs a little, and held him with his little belly down.

Hou Dadao saw that Daqiao calmed his anger, and he was secretly lucky in his heart, worked harder, and finally sent her to the wonderful land and let her sleep peacefully.

Hou Dadao was also so tired that he fell asleep with Daqiao in his arms.

In the middle of the night, the two were awakened by the noise outside, the sound of fire trucks, and the sound of shouting. The two of them got up and pushed open the window to see that it was on fire! Hou Dadao exclaimed: "Not good! It was my house that caught fire. ”

Hou Dadao hurriedly put on his clothes, pulled his legs and ran home.

Daqiao also put on his clothes and ran out with him. ran to Haiming Hutong, the fire had been extinguished, but Hou Dadao's house had been burned to the ground. People pulled out four corpses from the ashes, three of which were Mr. Jiang's wife, and one was charred, but Daqiao still recognized him as Cui Mingguo at once.
