Chapter 34: The Redemption of the Old Hen

Think of Zhao Loach's honest smile and grateful appearance. Thinking about it again, Mengyao has been three times in a row in the past few years, and he has not given birth to a male fetus, which is really a chaotic life. Not only is all her thief's intentions unguardable, but she may also be caught by this broom star one day, and it is inevitable that she will be haunted by bad luck. He had a general fate, but now he was also pulled into the water by her.

gave birth to a girl, which is simply a deliberate insult and trampling.

At this moment, Erxi shed tears of grievance for so many years of guarding himself like jade, and finally did not get good retribution and good results. If I found a local girl and lived a good life, why would I be so poor now? Besides, which local daughter-in-law does not have her mother's support and support?

Even if the days are not prosperous quickly, it will not be a bottomless pit for the mother's family, always be vigilant and guard against thieves? Unconsciously, he was aggrieved and helpless and remorseful, and his nose was already flowing out, and he rubbed it with his hand, wiped it on the soles and uppers of his shoes, and after a few twitches on his shoulders, he slowly got up like a ghost.

Because he found that the dead girl had ridden a big iron donkey with an empty iron cage and disappeared.

When Erxi was angry, he quickly pulled out the dilapidated bicycle from the rubble, sat on his legs and sat firmly in the saddle, with his legs exerting force, lifting his body to help Hanqing, and quickly chased away.

Mengyao was covered in sweat, got off the big iron donkey at the door of the house, and stood there, not in a hurry to move around, but to think about whether he had taken the right step.

"Well, it's the left foot, it's the left foot."

She silently took stock and put down the car in the courtyard. But a chicken in the courtyard was lying in front of her, and before she could understand what was going on, the chicken "clucked, clucked".

Meng Yao didn't understand it even more, other chickens were still scattered in the way on the side, and they were lined up.

"Why don't you let you in? I'm hungry and tired. ”

Meng Yao wiped the sweat from his head, and the mud ditch on his cheeks suddenly changed direction. Some sweat got into her eyes again, and she quickly wiped it with the back of her hand that she thought was clean.

"Cluck, cluck,"

The chicken crouching in front of her finally moved away, leaving a hot egg beneath her, stained with blood. "Huh?" Mengyao was pleasantly surprised, but when he saw the bloodstains, he could also see how difficult it was to give birth to this egg. Pick up the egg, it's so warm.

"Thank you, you're so cute." In gratitude, he smiled and waved his hand to the chickens, and bowed deeply to the old hen who gave the eggs.

The hens quickly dispersed and ran to the shade in the corner to bathe.

"Giggles, we rescued her this time, and I hope we can have good luck!"

"Giggles, there must be a turnaround."

The old woman was putting incense on her head behind the door, praying and cursing. Hearing the sound of the wind door in the outhouse, he slowly opened a pair of shining little eyes. The pair of eyes were in the skin of Song Lao, like two kerosene lamps lit in a dark room, and only when they saw these two kerosene lamps turn on can they know that she is a living creature.

I heard the sound of the pit girls entering the Westinghouse again, didn't they come back from selling rags? It's certainly not a second happiness. If so, he will definitely come to my house first to see my mother and say hello. Hum. When it comes to her son's upbringing culture and etiquette, the old woman has a sense of pride in winning the favor, and she curls her thin lips, complacent. In less than ten minutes, I heard the sound of the wind gate again.

Could it be that this is a second happiness?

But what if you didn't come to the East House after listening to the voice? Could it be that there is a harvest for stalking today? The old woman got up, picked up a broom and pretended to sweep the floor in the outhouse, but in fact she was watching the movement.

"Why is it only 2 pieces? What about money? "I only heard two joys and a roar!

This time, the old woman finally understood that there was really a situation. She still stood at the water tank in the outhouse, holding a broom and continuing to pretend to sweep the floor and listen carefully.

There was no sound for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a "thump" sound in the Westroom, and then it was like a body rolling on the floor and a head hitting the cabinet.

"The 10 yuan is the money for the goods, and I have already given you 2 yuan, which is the food, drink, and bed board fees you said." I just heard the out-of-town girls shouting shamelessly.

"I don't care if you can get the goods or not, Lao Tzu only needs money, who knows if you are hiding a lot of money and want to steal it to the poor mother's family. Don't think, hum! ”

Suddenly the room stopped ringing.

After Erxi succeeded, he slowly got up from her body, pulled out his legs and walked out, just wanted to walk and turned his head, and saw an egg on the tea tray in the wallcupboard.

"Yo he, you still learned to steal your mouth, and you even steal eggs?"

Twisting around and picking up the broom, the broom was beaten for a while, but fortunately it was not strong, and the broom fell apart when it was picked up for the 50th or so strokes. The wire loop on it fell off, and the twisted wire flower also cut through Mengyao's hand before it was broken.

Erxi takes the egg and wants to leave.

"It's still hot, and I even beat the idea of a chicken ass, shameless slut! It stinks, I bah! ”

A mouthful of phlegm happened to cover the peach blossoms on her sideburns, and it was hot and smelled stinky. Meng Yao raised his hand and swept away the harsh and fishy. But then, Erxi took off a stinky shoe again, picked it up and slapped her cheek.

"I'll dislike you, I'll dislike you."

After a few dozen strokes, he stopped his hand, grabbed his hair and fixed it, and then viciously smacked dozens of mouthfuls, until his mouth was dry, he couldn't click anything, the tip of his tongue and the root of his tongue were different, and he kept spitting until Meng Yao honestly accepted the humiliation of his face full of evil phlegm, closed his eyes and remained motionless. Seeing that the pit goods were completely convinced, he put on his shoes and turned away.

The hens in the yard stopped bathing when they heard the sound of Westinghouse smashing, and they also listened attentively.

"Why were you beaten again? Giggles. ”

"She already has eggs, why is she still being beaten?"

"She's so tall, don't you dislike our balls for being too small? Isn't it a big human egg? ”

As soon as he said this, several chickens were silent. Because they are so big since they laid their eggs, they are even smaller in the first year.

"Hey, bitter woman, why is she so miserable? We can't really help it. The lead hen was helpless.

The old woman was extremely distressed when she saw her son's angry and hard work.

"Let's eat."

"Well," Erxi spread his palms, "She really stole money Hmph, don't think I don't know, she and the old man Li who collected the tatters eyebrows." Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise I was sent away by her 2 small dollars, and I have been drinking tatters for so long, I don't know how much money I stole behind our backs. ”

The old woman's eyes lit up again when she heard this, "Hmph, living at home, I am afraid that people will not be in harmony with each other, and I will not think in one place, and I will harm others and myself!" ”

The old woman took 12 yuan, proudly moved half her big foot to the east house, and put the money in the wall cabinet.

"Look, even stealing eggs, I didn't want to eat the one who was supposed to make up for you, and it was my turn to steal it. Knowing that eating meat can't give birth to a male baby, he still deliberately eats it, and he can't wait to give birth to a female baby, so that we will be embarrassed and laughed at together. ”

"Huh? This misbehaving. After scolding, the old woman secretly made up her mind that she would patrol every day in the future, keep an eye on picking up eggs, and never let the stinky thief succeed.

"And the fellow villagers who saw the pit goods that day, those stinky girls are also sneaky, you have to be strict to watch out if she has the idea of sneaking away. After all, for several days in a row, as soon as I went out, I ran into the goods of Lao Miao's family, how could it be so coincidental? And several times?

Once, I also saw the old Miao family trying to pick up the wall, 2 hands on the wall, and 2 bricks were piled up under the feet. But with such an obvious pretending feint, who knows if she wants to unite inside and out, make this pit back to her hometown, and play missing? ”

The second was happy to hear it and hurriedly analyzed.

But no matter how hurriedly analyzed, after the two of them ate the cake porridge and pickles, Erxi did not forget to bring a bowl of porridge to the foreign girl, she wanted to eat a bite, and tomorrow she would continue to drink rags to generate income for herself.

Mengyao's hard-won harvest today was so exploited, she was depressed, lying on the kang with her eyes blank, not knowing what to think.

Dreams are in vain.

The accumulated 23 yuan can only be taken out tomorrow to drink the 10 yuan that was beaten and bleeding and stained with blood, and the principal was snatched away, and the hidden pocket that was easy to sew was torn fiercely. It turned out that the habitual collection of 2 yuan could not satisfy their greedy ambitions.

Mengyao had no choice but to have a toothache, and he hadn't eaten a bite of food from morning to night, and tears flowed from his sadness. Finally, she came up with a way - take out all the money in the red high heels and torn socks, and then roll them into a stiff tube, and put them between the socks and the soles of her feet like cigarettes.

The next day, he continued to walk the streets and alleys with a large iron cage.

Meng Yao continued to shout, "There are tattered ones for sale, and tattered ones for sale." ”

A few hours later, as usual, a large bag full of bags floated on top of it, still not over the top of my head. Squeaky and swaying, only two feet can be seen in the back. In this way, I drank tatters every day, and I was stripped of a part of Erxi every day. The money is hidden in the stinky socks on the soles of the shoes, which has escaped countless disasters, think of the father who has been sick for a long time. Finally, I sent it to my mother in my hometown and secretly mailed it 4 times, 50 yuan at a time.

Nowadays, she will drink rags to earn money by herself, and she doesn't need to eat at all, so she is full of confidence in her heart, and no matter where she goes, she will have wind under her feet. Although she mailed it to her mother, she couldn't squeeze out the extra money to buy new clothes, and she was numb as she looked at the calluses on her increasingly rough hands.

Nowadays, she doesn't want to wear a decent and dazzling look at all, so as not to affect the lifting and pushing, not to mention that she doesn't, so the two clothes in the past stick to her body like a plaster.

Time flies, and a few flowers and swallows dance, and when the peach is full of trees, it will be the next year in a blink of an eye.

Spring 1990.

The peach branches at home stretched, bursting out a lot of peach branches, and there was shade that stretched out a few meters away. Every time she drinks tatters, she likes to stand under the peach tree, touch the purple trunk, and smell the flowers. How old is Peachtree, she hasn't been back to her hometown for many years, and she hasn't seen her mother.

The peach tree that witnessed her and Erxi's acquaintance is now reduced to just a simple peach tree. Nothing can be helped, nothing can be relied upon to witness anything, nothing can be remedied, no good luck is given, it is not a monument at all, nor is it a protective star. It was elevated in the courtyard, and all that remained was ordinary and mediocre.

I happened to see my daughter who was already in school, and folded a few peach blossoms in the low place to my classmates. In the summer, the child picks the biggest and reddest peaches and gives them to the best tablemates, who voted for her in the class selection committee.

Mengyao is glad that this peach tree finally has more value.

Today, it is rainy, smell the fragrance of flowers and go out, and pray in my heart that the flowers will bring you good luck. Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, a group of chatting women who knocked melon seeds, they saw Mengyao riding a broken car, and they were very embarrassed.

"You see, you see, how angry, pitiful, and tired people who marry from other places. As soon as I saw that my mother's family was poor, otherwise I would be so willing to let my daughter suffer so much in other places? ”

"Yes, the village gave her a nickname, called Rag Shih Tzu."

"Ah, she used to sell popsicles. Then it's called popsicle Shih Tzu, no, it should also be called tofu Shih Tzu. ”

"Hey, don't say it, I don't know if this nickname is good or bad, in short, it's a tattered Shih Tzu at the moment."

In a hurry, Mengyao rode a big broken car, only nodding and smiling at the group of chatting women. But the group of women didn't care about her greetings at all, and continued to gossip.

"You know what? I heard that the girl she gave birth to was given away. There is one in that Liu Pizhuang, which is 8 miles away from us. Oh, I'm really willing, and I heard that I gave money, saying that it was money to make up for the body, but it was actually ......"

Meng Yao listened to it all over his ears, but he was silent and didn't look back, letting the tears pour out and scatter with the wind...... Dodge and pass by, and all that remained in the rapper's ears was the jingle of the big iron cage touching......

Whose tears are flying?

Tears of sadness are meteors, and tears of happiness are stars, but Mengyao will never believe that meteors will bring good luck, after all, for so many years, all the tears of meteors, no matter which one of them, has become the most unhappy heart in the world.

Whose tears are flying?

It seems that all of this is no longer important to Mengyao.

The woman who chatted in the end finally didn't know what to call and shut her mouth, silently watching her silent and rickety back, far away, far away.

Although she has a long tattered life, her luck today does not seem to be good, and she has been wandering around several villages in succession, and she has not received too much tatters, so she called it a day early and went to the Shuangshu Village scrap factory. This time, the big bag of chicken skin bags is not so high, and the top of the head and feet are exposed, and the handlebar does not have to deliberately try to lean over and hold it, and the front of the car cannot be lifted steadily.

Easy anomaly to the place.

The uncle coughed and came out of the tin room and beckoned her. One by one, in the end, no more, no less, a total of 16 yuan.
