Chapter 47: The Eighth Story (2)

Pang Wen held his father with one hand and his mother with the other, and took the second elder home. Pang Wen's daughter-in-law wanted to help move things, but Pang Wen stopped her, "Mom and Dad are my own, don't care about anyone, I'll be alone if there is something." Pang Wen loaded his parents' things on a cart and pulled them home by himself. When the sister-in-law heard it, she ran out of the house, and she wanted to sprinkle it again, Pang Wen pulled it with her hand, and the sister-in-law fell on the cold ground, and sat on the ground and shouted, "There are people from the neighborhood!" Beat someone to death......" Before she finished shouting, Pang Wen pulled her aside with his foot, glaring at him with copper bell-like eyes, "Don't think that if my brother is gone, no one will care about you, and then I will beat you to death!" After saying that, I pulled the cart and left! My sister-in-law sat on the cold ground for a long time and didn't come back to her senses.

The neighbors and Secretary Sima Yi, who were hiding in the courtyard of Pang Wen's uncle's house and eavesdropping, all laughed secretly. "I'll just do it." Secretary Sima Yi looked at his uncle, and his uncle laughed out loud, "This kid, don't say it, it's really a loss to Pang Wenjin." ”

(3) Uncle

Originally, only the mother's brother could be called uncle. Uncle can't be called indiscriminately, but if someone in our village calls you uncle, or hears someone call you uncle, you have to be careful. "If you are full, you want to think" is not false at all, and after solving the problem of food and clothing, people began to think about amusement. Teasing each other and calling each other uncle is one of the most popular forms.

A neighboring village named the fourth, is a humorous person, farming to pass through our village, in our village and a group of classmates, became our village acquaintances, one day with our village a person to work in the field, while walking and talking, talking about the child, just the fourth has a daughter, the person in my village has a son, the fourth said, "when the child is older, we will be in-laws." When the man heard this, he then moved the ghost wit, "Okay! Then my family will be called your uncle."

When the fourth child heard it, "Hey, doesn't this scold me 'brother-in-law'!" He didn't show weakness at the moment, and said with a smile, "I'll call your uncle, uncle, help me work, and when I'm done, we'll go to your house and drink a pot." ”

Gradually, many people called the fourth child uncle when they saw him, and the fourth child also called many people uncle, and calling each other uncle became the most popular ridicule. At first, the women just watched and laughed, but I don't know when even the concubines were added. Even the uncle and the concubine called together, not to mention how happy it was. Later, the daughter of the fourth child fell in love with a young man in our village, and the fourth child became the quasi-father-in-law of the village. This prospective father-in-law has to pretend to be a dog in front of his future son-in-law, so that his Kanyou will have a great opportunity, and when they meet, they don't call their uncles anymore, and they change their words, "Hey, our fourth uncle has been promoted, and he has changed his father-in-law, this father-in-law is good, his father-in-law!" ”

"This thing is good, it really looks like a father-in-law, a good father-in-law, you can pretend to be a father-in-law!" came and went, and the fourth child suffered a big loss. At first, he just smiled and pretended not to hear, but after a long time, his stomach was bulging. It was another autumn harvest evening, and the sunset reflected half of the sky. After a long day's work, people began to pack their tools and prepare to go home. There was a cart full of corn cobs here, men drove ox carts, women sat on high cob piles, there shouted cows pulling plows and rakes, and the fourth man came over with shovels and his wife, "The father-in-law, the father-in-law and my concubine are not inferior!" The man who was driving the car turned around and shouted at the fourth child, and the road was full of people chirping and coaxing. The fourth child couldn't hold it back, "Uncle! What is calling, isn't it just that I dare not speak, who is afraid of whom! Be careful, uncle! Don't drive the car crookedly and throw the concubine off. ”

"I say, let's do it! I didn't hold it for a month! If you want the fourth child not to open the shabu, then the sun has to come out of the west! ”

"Count it for him, 18 days!" Someone accosted.

It's the New Year, I said it in advance, I don't joke about it on the first day of the New Year, I don't call my uncle, and I'm going through the New Year. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people get up early, eat dumplings, set off firecrackers, and go from house to house to pay New Year's greetings.

When I met on the street, I clasped my fists with both hands, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Meet and make a fortune!"

"Meet and make a fortune!"

I don't know who asked, "Uncle, is the concubine at home?" I haven't paid a New Year's greeting to my concubine yet! When everyone heard, "Hey, who's that!" This is, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be opened!" Let's open it! Uncle! Let's go to your house to play poker, let the concubine make a pot of good tea, and contribute your good tea leaves, so as not to grow hair." A group of men and a group of women over there met, and a man suddenly said to a woman in a serious manner: "Your things are not right?" The woman looked nervous, "It's impossible, I've put everything that should be placed, isn't it right there?" "You forgot to hang a teapot on your door." The man laughed as he said and ran away. "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you are looking for a beating!" The woman raised her fist and ran to chase with a smile, the old people couldn't close their mouths with a smile, the old chrysanthemums on their faces were particularly gorgeous, and the toothless mouth couldn't stop the happy wind from pouring into the stomach one by one, laughing and saying, "No big or small, there are more than 50 people, and they are still so noisy, and their grandchildren should go to school."

A person from another village came to our village to sell apples, and he was very emotional, "Look at how close this relative is gone." Then he wondered, "Why are there so many concubines and uncles in one village?" Everyone laughed and hurriedly explained, "What are we playing?" This concubine and uncle are also screaming? But he screamed randomly, and he screamed very open!

(4) Half of the dictionary

It's the New Year, and my relatives who came to visit my hometown told me that half of the dictionary is dead, and there will be a funeral on the sixth day of the first lunar month tomorrow. Although I haven't seen her for several years, my heart is still heavy and I can't say anything. If it weren't for hearing about her death, I would have almost forgotten about her.

Half of the dictionary is her nickname, in the village in terms of seniority is my old sister-in-law, is an old high school student of that era, in the countryside can also be regarded as a cultural person, it is precisely this belly of knowledge, so that she got a nickname "half of the dictionary". It was none other than her husband, the father of her children, and a worker of the county electricity bureau who ate national food with a huge halo on his head. I heard that when she was young, her husband thought she was ugly, and she could not come back for a whole month, she raised four children by herself, and the salary she earned did not go through her hands, and when she was short of money, she ran dozens of miles to ask her husband for it. Later, when I got old, when my husband came home, there were often people who went to their house to chat, nonsense, she listened on the sidelines, and often said something that others couldn't say, couldn't say completely, and said the wrong things, and the people who listened nodded frequently, and then remembered that she was an old high school student in that era, and her husband pouted, "You are indispensable there, half of the dictionary." In front of everyone, her husband said too much about half of the dictionary and half of the dictionary, and "half of the dictionary" became her nickname.

When the package was delivered to the household, the village accountant could not calculate the number of acres according to the triangular land, and the people of the village waited for the distribution, but he did not come up with a positive number. The old sister-in-law walked over and made a gesture on the ground, and the accountant smiled and narrowed. The person who wanted to take the opportunity to persuade her husband told her husband about it, and her husband pouted, "She can do it, and she is half the sky!" So, she had another nickname, "Half the Sky".

In this way, half the dictionary and half the sky have been called for many years.

The husband retired, the son took over, and married a daughter-in-law who was known as a capable woman. Not only did her husband not give her the honor of being a mother-in-law, but he teased her in front of her new daughter-in-law, and she didn't fall into the eyes of her daughter-in-law at all. At that time, she seemed to be stimulated, singing loudly on the street. At that time, I was already in junior high school, and I could hear that she was reciting famous passages in Tang and Song poems, and they all said that she was crazy. Her husband disliked her even more, and often teased her in front of everyone, and some people with ulterior motives who catered to her husband also followed suit. From their eyes, I clearly saw the thrill of playing monkey.

She began not to speak, did not speak to anyone, and sat in the groves and ditches in the south of the village for half a day.

The birth of her grandson rekindled hope, and she held her grandson on her back, sang, and rowed on the ground every day. When her grandson was in the third grade, she reaped the most glorious results of her life. The grandson asked the self-righteous grandfather a question, and the grandfather did it for a long time, but he didn't get it out. The grandson followed his grandfather's example, and pouted: "Stupid, don't you die!" It's not so simple, and I look down on my grandma all day long, and my grandma who can't be a teacher can! "After retiring, my husband, who has experienced many failures, looked at half of his dictionary and half of the sky for the first time.

As I grew older, I gradually regained the arrogance of that youth, became more and more obsessed with our culture, and admired our ancestors more and more. Take a woman as an example, call a woman a jade and a flower, and only those who really understand her and love her know what a priceless treasure and a rare treasure is. The value of the same piece of jade and the same flower is very different in the eyes of different people. This reminds me of Cai Wenji, if Cao Cao hadn't found her and brought her back to Xudu, she would have been humiliated and beaten at the hands of that layman for the rest of her life, who of us would know about her?

Finally, I wish all female friends to find someone who understands themselves and loves themselves, and a lifetime of companionship with someone who understands jade and loves flowers.
