9. Respect the culture, listen to the Qin dialect, and make efforts to play paper money
At nine o'clock in the morning on weekends, the family gathers in the restaurant for breakfast. Zhiyuan saw that the father and daughter still had some overnight feuds, so he opened his mouth to reconcile: "One of us here has a final exam next Friday!" β
"Huh! It's her! Tsai Tsai pointed at Yangyang, Yangyang's face was confused, he didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and his mind was still in a dream.
"Can she write?" The old horse asked.
"Yes, I can write three words!"
"Hahaha, what are those three words? Right? Tsai pointed at Yang Yang and laughed.
"I can also write rabbits!" Yang Yang gently interjected a sentence.
"Will write a fart! You're drawing rabbits, not writing! "Talking while eating!
"Speak well! My sister is a little stupid, how can you be smart - kindergarten memorized the entire Xinhua dictionary and cooked it well! Gui Ying choked hard.
"You...... Why do you keep targeting me! Tsai pouted at Gui Ying.
"I am justice! What does it mean to target you! Sister is like this, you don't protect her, seeing that she can't read and can't argue, you laugh at her! β
"Can't write...... So what does the exam take? The old horse was puzzled.
"Huh...... Test the alphabet, draw, tick, connect and so on! Zhiyuan replied with a smile.
"Will she?" The old horse asked as he ate, pointing at Yangyang.
"She? Huh...... What will it be! Kindergarten classes can't learn anything! From tomorrow - Monday, I will give her tutoring every night and sharpen her knives! Just don't be at the bottom! β
"Yangyang, Dad is going to make up for you! Unhappy? Gui Ying asked Yangyang lovingly.
"Happy!" Yangyang only followed the words of the adults, and as for what she said, she didn't know at all.
"Isn't it stupid? It's fun to make up the lessons! Tsai muttered.
"Thank you, dear, children at this age are the most abrasive! When I met a stupid one, I studied one plus one, two plus two for more than half a year! I was almost insane! Gui Ying sarcastically boy.
"Dad! You see my mom always scolding me! Grandpa, you don't care about your daughterβthe son is more than the father is lazy! β
"Oops! Your mother is a lioness who yells at me every day, how dare I care! The old horse made a frightened expression with that black face, which made the family laugh.
"This afternoon, your mom and I went to buy a deck chair, and you took care of my sister and grandpa at home!"
"Can I take care of both of them? Which of them listens to me? A fierce one is stunned! β
"Let you take care of them, not let you command and lead them! He Yiming, are you thinking too much? Gui Ying gave him a blank look.
"I don't care, I have to do my homework, and I haven't finished my homework yesterday!"
"As soon as you are asked to do something, you use your homework as a shield, the last time your uncle came, you clamored that you wanted to eat hot pot, why didn't you remember that you still had homework?"
"All of you against me? Interesting? β
"I didn't target you! You've got a lot of fun! After the old horse finished speaking, everyone laughed again.
"When are you going to buy me my radio?" I'm as idle as the owner of the salt shop! The old horse turned his head and asked Zhiyuan.
"Do you have something to do?" Tsai Tsai is holding back.
"What's the matter?" The old horse asked.
"Quarrel with my mother! How exciting it is for the two of you to fight, the old lion to the lioness - playing lion alive! It's crackling, it's so lively! The three of us can still watch the show for free! Tsai Tsai happily stood up and performed a few times, and then went back to the house with a smile.
"He Yiming, you owe it to clean up!" Gui Ying shouted at Tsai Tsai's back.
"Dad, I'll help you check out the radio today! Did you buy a radio to collect the station in your hometown? β
"yes!"
"Are you going to listen to a play or what?"
"It's just to listen to dramas!"
"What kind of drama do you usually listen to?" Zhiyuan said and turned on his mobile phone.
"Excerpts! I don't pick, I listen to everything! β
"You name one, I'll see if I have it on my phone!"
""Red Lantern", "Wudian Slope", "Spring and Autumn Pen"! You look for these three first. β
"Dad, how about you listen to this?" Zhiyuan opened a piece of "Red Lantern" for Lao Ma to listen to. Gui Ying went back to the house to clean up, and Yang Yang stayed on the table while eating steamed buns while listening to the play.
"Who sang this?"
"This is sung by Wang Erni, who do you want to listen to? I searched on my phone! β
"You Sou Ma Youxian!"
"Yes! She sang "Wudian Slope", "Broken Bridge", "Honghu Red Guards", "Dou E's Injustice" and so on! Zhiyuan clicked on the "Honghu Red Guards" sung by Ma Youxian to the old horse.
"Oops! You can still listen to this on your phone! Strange! The seventy-year-old man smiled.
"Dad, why don't I buy you a mobile phone, what do you want to hear! There really is no one to sell radios now! This thing is an old antique - extinct! β
"It's done!" The old horse nodded.
Zhiyuan taught him how to search and how to order the next song, and after the old horse practiced a few times, he waved his hand and walked away Zhiyuan, and he chose Ma Youxian's "Wudian Slope" on the sofa and listened to it, and listened to it for three hours. Hearing the joy and excitement, his smile was like the Guanyin in the temple; When he heard the fascination, he followed others to beat the beat, swing his head and hum; Hearing the tangled and tense passage, he sat upright, brought the phone to his ear, held his breath and listened word by word...... It wasn't until the whole play was over that he calmly traveled back from the story of Bao Chuan and Pinggui. After lunch, he listened to Ma Youxian's "Broken Bridge" again, and the old horse when listening to the play was like a fairy who had shed his shell and traveled, and he was elegant.
At half past two in the afternoon, Yang Yang had not woken up, the boy had just gotten up to do his homework, the old horse was lying on the sofa listening to the play, and the husband and wife went out and went to the nearest furniture city at the door of their homes.
"Honey, have you noticed that Dad is like a child!" Zhiyuan said to Gui Ying while driving.
"What do you mean?"
"I gave him a folding fan that day, and he spent most of the day playing with it! A person poking and chattering on the fan - very fascinated! Find him a good show today, he heard it from after breakfast and now - still listening! At lunchtime, I saw that he ate quickly and didn't talk much, and after eating, I went to the theater again! It's exactly the same as when a child has a new toy! Zhiyuan smiled.
"Hey! Sort of! Blame my grandparents for not being educated well, socialization was not completed, and in the end we left a half-old child for our three brothers and sisters - difficult to serve! β
"Buy a mobile phone for my dad today, he can't always use my mobile phone to listen to dramas!"
"Huh? You're still at home! β
"Isn't it? He listened very carefully, put his phone next to his ear, and sometimes held his phone to listen, why am I embarrassed to ask for it? β
"Okay, buy an elderly machine - loud and loud! He really likes to listen to operas, and he sings well! To be honest, as soon as he let go of Qin's tone, I instantly felt like I was back when I was a child! β
"I'll go to Uniqlo and pick out a few shorts for him today, he's always wearing my shorts these days! I never say it's hot, and I don't take off my pants after wearing them for days...... Hahaha! Zhiyuan couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha...... He's got a hard mouth! Gui Ying couldn't help but be happy when she heard about the pants.
At half past three, Yang Yang woke up, sat on the floor of the living room, and learned to knead plasticine there with the video in the iPad. The grandparents and grandchildren play their own games without interfering with each other, which is very harmonious. Suddenly, "Broken Bridge" finished listening - the phone was silent! Lao Ma sat up suddenly, turned on his mobile phone and wanted to listen to the play, after he took a few steps back, there were no three words in the search box, Ma Youxian was missing, he couldn't type in pinyin, and it got worse and worse for a while, and he had no choice but to call Zaizai.
After Tsai helped him get it, he just went back to the house to sit down and pick up the pen, when Lao Ma shouted again: "Zai'er, bring the hookah to grandpa!" β
"Can't you finish it all at once? I also called people back to the ground in chapters! Tsai muttered to find him a hookah, and when he was done, he went back to the house to do his homework.
The old horse filled the cigarette and found that there was no lighter, so he was very embarrassed: "Boy, you didn't take the lighter!" β
"You didn't say let me get a lighter!" Tsai Tsai smiled wryly in the house.
"I'll let you get a lighter now!"
Tsai reluctantly goes for a lighter.
"You give me cigarettes, not lighters! What is the difference between this and going to the toilet without paper and rallying without money? The old horse spread his hand and said.
"I don't smoke again, how do I know!"
"Without this common sense, how did you grow so big?"
"I've got you a lighter, and you're still training me for not having common sense!" Tsai Zai put on an enemy face, and the lighter in his hand was about to be handed to Lao Ma, but he quickly took it back.
"No training, no training, this is not reasonable!" When the old horse saw that he didn't give the lighter, he showed weakness first. After he got the lighter, he changed his tone: "I'm not training you, I'm educating you!" The old horse naughtily stretched out his index finger and pointed at the boy.
"Cunning! It turns out that my mother's bad disease is inherited from you! β
"What about your laziness?"
"I've run you three times - and say I'm lazy!"
"Tsk, these three trips are one trip! It's you're so stupid that you split it into three runs, what can I do with you! β
"Humph! That's how you call my dad at home, right? My mother said that my two uncles and my father are cowards in front of you, and I tell you: I am not a coward! Tsai Tsai stood in the middle of the living room and pointed his finger at himself and shouted solemnly.
"Hahahaha......" Lao Ma was so shocked when he heard it, he couldn't lie down with laughter, and turned over: "Yes, yes, you are right!" You're not a coward! You're not a coward! Don't worry, I know, you're not a coward......" The old horse laughed and coughed repeatedly.
"You're not a coward! You're not a coward...... "Yangyang also pointed at the boy and teased him.
"Humph! You two! Seeing that he was being teased, Tsai was so angry that he turned around and went back to the house, and slammed the door shut.
Dozens of minutes later, the old horse smoked two pots of cigarettes, sobered up a little, suddenly felt thirsty, and shouted again.
"Boy! Boy! Zai'er......" the old horse shouted in the living room.
"What's the matter? Annoying! Tsai shouted in the house.
"Pour a glass of water for Grandpa!"
"Why didn't you just say that?"
"I wasn't thirsty just now!"
"You can go yourself!"
"My feet hurt!"
"You can run to the table to eat, why can't you pour water? I'm doing the math! Please don't bother me anymore! After Tsai finished speaking, he first plugged in soundproof earplugs, and then put on headphones to let go of the music, even if there was a thunder and earthquake outside, he couldn't hear it.
"Boy, boy...... Hurry up, hurry up, pour a glass of water for grandpa! The old horse shouted for a long time, but when he saw that there was no response, he said to the little girl who was playing with mud on the ground: "Yangyang, you pour a glass of water for grandpa!" β
"What?" Yang Yang's face was a question mark.
"Pour a glass of water!" The old horse pours water in the air with both hands.
"Grandpa, do you want water?"
"Oops, yes, yes, yes!"
Yangyang got up and went to the living room to find a cup.
"Grandpa, is this it?" She pointed to an empty mug and shouted.
"That's right! Look for the kettle again! β
"Is that it?" Yangyang asked, pointing to the kettle.
"That's right! Pour the water from the kettle into the cup! β
The table was too high, and Yang Yang climbed into a chair and stood on the chair to pour water. There was a lot of water in the kettle, and she tried her best to pick up the kettle and pour water into the cup, because she had no experience and poured too much, and the table and floor were all wet!
"Oops!" Yang Yang saw the water all over the ground and shouted quietly.
When the water was poured, she slipped out of her chair, grabbed a columnar transparent glass full of water from the table higher than herself, and began to carry it in small steps in the direction of the old horse. The road staggered like wading across a bridge, and before she reached the couch, half a glass of water was turned upside downβthe ground behind her showed a winding waterway as if it were raining. The old horse turned his head to look anxious, and said, "Bao, take your time!" β
"Huh?" When Yang Yang heard the word "Bao", he didn't know who he was calling, so he stopped in shock, and the water in the cup suddenly flew out and landed on Yang Yang's crimson bloomers and sandals.
"Ahh......h There was a thud - the glass shattered on the floor.
"Tsk, it's not hot water, why did you throw away the cup?" The old horse was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.
"I ...... My pants are wet...... "Yang Yang tied, shaking her bloomers to show the old horse.
The old horse came over with a cane, kicked the glass slag into a pile, anxious, angry and pity, and muttered: "The melons are very good every day!" How can the two of them teach, teach such a baby - Leng Leng cowardly......" After complaining, he stretched out his left index finger and pretended to criticize Yang Yang seriously: "It's so big that you can't hold water, you're confused - what a fool!" β
Seeing that her grandfather was criticizing her, Yangyang pouted aggrievedly and her little mouth flashed with tears. Lao Ma stopped talking when he saw that she was wronged, who thought that he just stopped talking, the little girl cried out, sat on the ground and spread her hands and cried to her heart's content, and from time to time stretched out her hand and called her father and mother. is a good confused fairy, and he was trained to become a thunder princess and rain girl. The old horse stood there very helplessly, he would not say soft and loving words, and those rare words of comfort and criticism were in the same tone, and the more the child cried, the more he cried.
"Come on, come on, grandpa will give you a toy!" The old horse coaxed and dragged the crying Yangyang into his house.
"Why do I keep getting interrupted when I'm doing my homework!" Tsai Tsai was furious when he saw the door open, and when he heard Yangyang crying, he hurriedly asked Lao Ma: "Why is she crying?" β
"The cup has been criticized! Come on, come on, open this box for me, and I'll get her a toy! β
Tsai pushed the box angrily, opened it and took out a compass according to the old horse's instructions.
"She doesn't like that."
"Not necessarily."
Yang Yang got the compass, the rain was still falling, and the thunder stopped. The old horse took her out to play, and Yang Yang walked around the living room, constantly looking at the direction indicated by the compass, and had a lot of fun alone. Lao Ma laughed when he saw her, and his heart was relieved, and he only secretly wondered how this child was so easy to deal with!
After being quiet for half an hour, suddenly the old horse remembered something, and hurriedly stood up and limped in the direction of the balcony wall calendar - sure enough! It turns out that today is Gui Ying's mother's sacrifice day! His heart sank, he had a vague premonition two days ago, but he forgot about it! This is a big deal, he went into the house and asked, "Do you know where you sell yellow paper?" Yellow paper and paper money for people to burn? β
"I don't know!" Tsai took off his headphones and pretended to say calmly, and he was so annoyed that he was like a group of demons dancing.
"Today is your grandmother's festival day, why don't you go find out if there is any yellow paper sold here?"
"What kind of yellow paperβno! Which of the shops within a three-kilometer radius has I never visited? I said no, that's no! β
"Okay, okay, are there any coins?"
"Yes! Piggy bank! β
"Where's the piggy bank?"
"On the shelf outside - a Porco Rosso!"
"If there is no blank paper at home, straw paper will do!"
"How much do you want?"
"Dozens of them!"
"Give!" Tsai Tsai took a wad of A4 scratch paper under his hand and handed it to Lao Ma, and then said word by word: "Don't call me again!" I'm going crazy! β
"Cheng, you write your homework!" The old horse turned around and closed the door and left. After finding the coin, he limped to the kitchen with the paper. The old horse put the cane, spread the pile of paper on the porcelain piece in the kitchen, put the coin in the upper right corner of the white paper, the index finger and thumb of the left hand fixed the coin, the right hand smashed the coin with the handle of the knife, smashed it ten times, saw that the last piece of the paper was not marked with the coin print, knocked ten times, saw that there were all marks on the paper, then moved the coin down a square, and continued to play!
Yang Yang was curious and ran to the kitchen to watch the movement. When the boy heard the sound, he thought and made a strange move, and ran in three steps and two steps to ask angrily.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Shall I send money to your grandmother?" The old horse wiped his sweat and continued to fight.
"It's Grandma, right?"
"Yes, it's your grandmother!"
"What's the use of fighting this?"
"Today is her memorial day, and she is going to burn paper in her hometown! There's no yellow paper or paper money here, so I'll have to give her coins! This piece of paper can be ...... More than a hundred coins for it! That piece of paper is a hundred dollars, and this pile of paper is ...... Thousands of dollars! Oh, your grandmother is going to make a fortune over there! The old horse suddenly smiled sweetly.
"How long are you going to fight?" Tsai Tsai only felt that what was happening in front of him was incredible.
"Fifteen hits one, and you count a hundred...... Aren't you doing the math? β
"I want to do my homework, how can I write if you're so noisy?" Tsai Tsai looked bitter.
"Then don't write it yet, rest the meeting, or will you help grandpa fight?" The old horse leaned sideways and handed the kitchen knife to the boy.
"I don't!" Tsai Tsai was furious.
"Hmph, this is what your mother should do, now I'll do it, I won't complain about what you're complaining about?"
"Oh my God, how could there be such a thing! I'm writing an assignment like learning from experience! This...... This is outrageous, isn't it? Tsai Tsai went back to the house with a sad face, and then took his homework to the table in Zhiyuan in Gui Ying's house, which was the farthest desk in the house from the kitchen. He did all the soundproofing work, but there was still a rabid dog in his heart.
Lao Ma was sweating and banging alone in the unventilated kitchen, and only after a dozen marks was made, the whole shirt was wet! There's no way, he's been burning paper for Gui Ying's mother for many years, how can he fall this year? He wiped the beads of sweat from his face and forehead with the towel on his back and continued to beat. Yang Yang was noisy, went back to the living room to play with the compass, the living room was empty, she was bored alone, went to find her brother and brother did not open the door, but she slipped into the old horse's house, played with all kinds of gadgets on the table in front of the old horse's bed, and quietly played a good indulgence alone.
