Chapter 62: Someone fires a cannon
I have a problem, although I don't want to go up the hill to work, but I am especially willing to clean up the house, clean up the house, clean up the yard, watch the house clean, look at the yard rules, I will be in a good mood. Looking at the neat resentment of me, I know that Wang Sicheng did all this, before Wang Sicheng didn't come to my house, I also came back to the yard to take a piece of skin, even the firewood for the fire is freshly burned and chopped, I have a good impression of Wang Sicheng, the last time I came back to see him, he just didn't say much, very diligent and capable.
I opened the door of the outhouse, Wang Sicheng was cooking, Wang Sicheng saw that I hurriedly came over to help me pick up things, and asked my eldest brother, why are you back? I took my luggage off my shoulder and handed it to him, telling him I was gone. I asked him what about my mother? Wang Sicheng said: My grandmother celebrated her birthday, and my father and my fourth aunt went to my grandmother's house together. When my mother and Uncle Wang were not together, Wang Sicheng called my mother the fourth aunt, and after they were together, Wang Sicheng never changed his words, and still called my mother the fourth aunt. It's so far from your grandma's house, how many days have they been gone? I asked again. Wang Sicheng said that he just left yesterday, and I asked him again what about Xiaowei? Wang Sicheng said: Xiaowei went to the front of the store to play with the tractor, these days from the Red Star Town came a few cattle collectors, a few of them brought a lot of money, usually they play with tractors in the store, who has cattle to sell to let them see, a few days ago these people played with tractors here and lost miserably, these days and fished back, and won a lot, Xiaowei followed the gap on the side, and won a lot of money, by the way, big brother, we have installed cable TV here, the 21-inch color TV in the house, Xiaowei won money to buy it, and the second-hand one cost more than 500 yuan.
I went into the house and saw a 21-inch large color TV, there was news for a long time that cable TV was going to be installed, and it has not been installed, this time I hope that the stars and the moon are finally installed. Big brother, you sit down and watch TV for a while, I'll finish cooking, Xiaowei is coming back soon, Wang Sicheng turned around and went to the outhouse after speaking.
The atmosphere around Hongxing Town is not good, and gambling is prevalent, especially when the land is about to be planted in the spring of the new year, the bank has given a lot of agricultural loans, and at this time, the loans have just come down, and every household has money. It's a good gamble, and almost both of them are playing. I have heard several times that some people have just lost all the agricultural loans they have just gotten, which is the money to buy seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, and after losing them all, they can't explain to their families, and finally they commit suicide by drinking pesticides. There are also those second-class dealers who come from other places to dump cattle, they are all carrying cash, and they usually play very big.
Wang Sicheng walked into the house after cooking, took a bench and sat down to watch TV with me, I sat on the edge of the kang, my back leaned directly against the wall, one leg on the edge of the kang, one foot on the ground, I felt that Wang Sicheng twisted for a long time, as if he had something to say to me, but he didn't seem to know how to speak, I had to say that Sicheng was a good boy, not very good at verbal expression.
I asked, "Sicheng, do you have anything to say to me?" Now that the two of us are at home, you can say whatever you want.
Sicheng said: Big brother, my father and my mother divorced when I was very young, I lived with my father, my father walked the rivers and lakes, I always live alone, since I came to your house, I am very happy, I like Xiaowei very much, from his mouth I also know that you are a very good and very responsible brother, just now I saw you come back with your luggage, you said that you don't go to school, I don't know what to say? I just want to ask, brother, are you not going to school because your family has no money? I want to tell you, can you last another year, next year my age will be enough, I can go out to work after I have an ID card, I have a very capable uncle outside I can go to him, when I make money, I will mail it to you directly, brother, think about our two families after the combination together, there are a lot of rumors outside, if you don't go to school at this time, what will those rumors outside say? Originally, there were many people outside who said that my father wanted to occupy this tiled house for my future marriage, big brother, I didn't think about getting married so far, and I didn't want to occupy your house.
I didn't expect this kid to say such a thing, and from my heart, I glanced at Wang Sicheng again. Since he came to our house, I have spent less time at home, and I have not fully accepted him from the heart, because the neighbors and relatives have told me to have a heart, don't let the dove occupy the magpie's nest, and occupy this house, although I don't see how valuable this brick house is from my heart, but all the people told me this, I also believed, at this moment, from Wang Sicheng's mouth can say these words, I feel that I am a villain's heart, a gentleman's belly, a little blushing.
He continued: Big brother, I can also understand your feelings, after all, my father soaked your mother. But I want to have a brother like you in my heart.
Ahem, I coughed twice, my dad soaked your mother, how can you talk like this, this kid shouldn't be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
I chatted with Wang Sicheng for a while, my brother came back after playing cards, and when he saw me, he asked you for another holiday, brother? I told him that I was not going to school, and that I had already agreed with the school that I would be given a high school diploma when the time came, and my brother was a little excited when he found out that I was not going to school, and yelled at me to go back to school as soon as possible, and he earned money for me to study. My brother said a lot of things, and all the fortune tellers said that I would have a great future when I grew up, and I must study to the end.
I hurriedly stopped my younger brother from talking any further, telling him that whether he has a good life or not has little to do with how much he goes to school. Let's eat.
Wang Sicheng, this kid is really amazing, he can even steam steamed buns. The food he cooks tastes better than his mother's cooking, it is estimated that when he lived alone with Uncle Wang in the past, Uncle Wang ran around to tell fortunes for others, and wherever he went, he left the child at home alone, always taking care of himself, and it was quite pitiful to think about. During the meal, my brother talked about them playing with tractors in the store, he said that those few cattle harvesting during this period of time did not win less, I don't know why, hearing this, I immediately thought, that time in Guangyi Coal Mine to play 21 o'clock experience, I thought to myself that those people should not be under the guise of collecting cattle, come here to cheat money, right? But after thinking about it, I don't play anyway, it's none of my business, I just reminded my brother by the way, telling him to gamble as little as possible, you can play smaller, don't play too big, I didn't say the doubts in my heart, after all, I don't understand, and there is no conclusive evidence, just speculation.
Now it takes a while to farm, there is not much work to do, almost all of them are covered by Wang Sicheng alone, I get up before dawn every day, and keep running along the avenue to the back. I ran all the way to the mountains and breathed in the abundant oxygen in the mountains. I was in an open field, doing squats, Buddha push-ups. I was wearing a vest, and I struggled to do this at first. After doing all this I set for myself the training intensity, I started to take out that black notebook and study the sign language until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, when I went for a run home. Every night before going to bed, I do three sets of pull-ups on the door frame of 50 each, I am tired to collapse every day, see me sweating profusely, others say I have masochistic tendencies, I know what I am doing, and I have a clear goal.
Two weeks later, my mother and Uncle Wang came back, and my cousin scraped together 10,000 yuan and started to resell clothes, go to the provincial capital to buy them, and sell them when they were in the market in Hongxing Town. I'm still like that, wearing a weight vest every day, and I'm half tired every day. The news that I don't go to school has spread, and there are people who say that I don't go to school because my parents divorced, and that I am a blind college seedling, and there are also people who talk cool things in the back. My mother saw me like this every day, and she shed tears in front of me several times, and she thought that I was doing this to torture her, and I didn't bother to explain. Once when I was alone with my mother, I saw that there was no one around and asked my mother in a low voice: Mom, you tell me the truth, I don't blame you, am I born to you and my father? turned out to be good, and made my mother cry for a long time, and scolded me for being a white-eyed wolf and scolding me for having no conscience.
Some crops have been sown early and have already begun to be planted in the ground, like wheat. One afternoon I was still as usual, on the mountain, I gave myself the homework I assigned, today the weather is good, I tied to the big tree on the homemade sandbag, practice a while of free fighting, I packed up my things and started to go home, I ran home, my fingers moved around, practicing the techniques I learned today, the first fatigue period has passed, I can clearly feel my speed is improving, when I run home, it is downhill, so just come down from the mountain, turn the corner and see home. I still habitually glanced at my house, and then I noticed that as soon as the white smoke rose from the stone stone next to my house, the whole stone stone stone was shaking. Then there was a loud bang that came to my ears. My first thought was that someone was firing another cannon. My house was bought by my uncle, I really don't understand, when my uncle built the house, why did he build it under the stone stone? Rural houses and walls need stones, this stone stone is definitely the best quarry, if it is manually with a crowbar to pry the stone little by little, then no one can care, but there are always some people in order to save effort, on the stone stone stone to shoot eyes and fire, my house is under the stone stone, next to each other. The ground will shake when the cannon is fired, and the foundation of the house will be affected over time. So my family has always prevented others from firing guns, and for this matter, I have made a lot of trouble with others. Most of the people in Bentunzi know about this, and they all bow their heads and don't look up, and they generally don't fire cannons, who is this today? In the past, when someone wanted to set off a cannon and put all the explosives in it, my mother sat in front of the cannon hole and just wouldn't go away, but the gang didn't dare to light the fire. Four figures walked out of my yard. It was too far away for me to see who it was, but I guessed it should be my mother, Uncle Wang, my younger brother and Wang Sicheng, and I sped up under my feet and ran home.
