Chapter 8 Fishing
The old man was busy waving his hand and said that matter, alas, let him go in the past, I was also angry at the time, and said something not very good, you and my egg (Ge Zhuang's nickname is Erdan) are brothers, don't mind the family, and then I also thought about it, it was someone who framed it back then, but I wronged you for squatting in prison for so many years.
Ge Zhuang shouted, old man, you now know that you are to blame me, you were the one who beat you back then! The old man glared at him and said "Deflated calf, I gave birth to your mother, what's wrong with beating you?" It's not time to get off work yet, and you're coming back pretty quickly today, aren't you going to work hard again?
The old man has outstanding military achievements, and the people who have been on the battlefield are iron-clad, and in his old age, he still has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and when he stared at his eyelids, Ge Zhuang was so frightened that he trembled, and said, you have to kill me before you are willing, and you can kill me, you and my mother can make another one when you have time.
"Bunny!"
This girl can't speak human words, so angry that the old man almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, and he wants to untie his belt and pump him, I hurriedly went up to persuade him, and said uncle, you can dissipate your anger, the fat man is not right, I will help you talk about him well.
"Okay, there are guests at home today, I won't worry about you first, Malegobi, vacate the house first, let the little pumpkin live!" Only then did the old man stop stupidly, glaring at him and yelling at him.
The old man also had a big temper, and we both ran into the house as if we were running away.
I followed Ge Zhuang into the back room, complaining that this kid has been in prison for two years, why is his mouth still so owed, is it appropriate to talk to your father like this? Ge Zhuang said that father and son in this life, enemies in previous lives, no grievances and no father and son, our father and son have always been like this, one nail and one eye, and they can't change it.
His house is still quite spacious, when I cleaned up the house, I saw Ge Zhuang's wife, the aunt was very energetic, seeing that I was going to sleep in a room with Ge Zhuang, I was busy saying that how could I let him clean up by himself, let me come.
I'm busy saying Auntie, no, no, I'll do it myself, you can rest. Ge Zhuang's mother is not too old, only in his fifties, a very diligent and virtuous person, where do you say? Auntie is in good health, you rest, I'll come!
Over the years, I have basically managed myself alone, and I have never experienced the warmth of my family, looking at my aunt who packed my luggage and laid the mattress for me, my heart was inexplicably sour, and I was even more envious of Ge Zhuang, this dead fat man, why is his life so good?
The iron frame bed was spread on the edge of Ge Zhuang's mattress, I drank a lot of wine during the day, in the afternoon I slept with him, nourished enough spirits, got up in the evening, saw the old man playing Tai Chi, so respectfully guarded the side, and waited for the old man to finish a set of Tai Chi, I took the book and went up to ask for advice.
He had been injured on the battlefield, his eyesight was not very good, and he was old and glaucoma, so he pushed his glasses, looked at those small words and said helplessly, "Why don't you give me the book, and when I study it thoroughly, I will translate it for you?" ”
I said uncle, thank you.
The old man put the book away, shook his head and didn't say anything, patted me on the shoulder, and said Little pumpkin, my son flies all day long (lawless), I'm old, and I can't control him, you have a good relationship with him, a good brother who wears the same pants, it's okay to talk more about him for me, let him be restrained and restrained, and he should return my personal favor.
I was busy saying yes. At night, the neon lights in the city were lit, and thousands of lights were lit, Ge Zhuang and I had dinner, and went out for a walk together.
Ge Zhuang was very impatient, and said Mom, no matter how strong the wind is, it can't penetrate your son's hob meat. The aunt laughed and said dead child, what is the talk of being poor with me, don't come back too late, tomorrow it is time to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors!
After my aunt left, I asked Ge Zhuang what ancestor he sacrificed? Ge Zhuang said that it is my grandfather, the old lady followed the Sichuan army to fight, and he was killed by the Japanese devil with a bayonet, and later he was posthumously recognized as a martyr, my father will take the family back to his hometown every year to worship his ancestors, and it is not far away, but the place is relatively remote, and you will go with me tomorrow.
I thought about it, nodded and said okay, anyway, I have nowhere else to go now, and I also went to Ge Zhuang's house, I and this dead fat man are brothers, broken bones and tendons, his grandfather is my grandfather, and it is good to pay tribute to the old ancestors.
The next morning, we returned to the pier to take a boat, and the boat traveled for about two hours to the upper reaches of the Gangneung River.
Ge Zhuang's hometown is here, it used to be a small market town, and then the Three Gorges impounded many villages, and the residents moved away one after another, and when we arrived, there was only an empty small village, and there was a blind old man sitting on the grass pile at the entrance of the village to smoke dry tobacco.
Ge Zhuang went up and handed over the cigarette, saying that the third princess, is his body and bones good? Let's go into the village to see you!
The old man is old and can't understand, what is he saying? The Japanese devils have entered the village again? Hurry up and carry the hoe!
Ge Zhuang's father went up and mixed the old man's hand, and said Third Uncle, I went home to worship my ancestors, is your old body okay?
"Oh, the Japanese devil came on a yacht, it's okay, I'm hiding in my house*!" The third prince said.
"Yes, let's go!" Ge Zhuang shook his head and entered the village with the guy. The location of his hometown is relatively remote, and he can only take a boat back and forth, and he can only catch one trip a day, and then he has to wait until the next day to return to the city.
Worship the ancestors in the early morning of the next day, the afternoon is fine, Ge Zhuang said that this poor ravine is desolate enough, and I can't find TV to watch, don't you bring a little pumpkin, let's go into the mountains to hunt, I haven't caught a turtledove for three years, I want to try whether the hand is still alive.
I said don't think about catching birds all day long, the mountain god has a grudge against you, where can I get marbles for you! You like to hunt birds so much, don't you have one under your pants and crotch?
Ge Zhuang said that the bird couldn't be beaten, I remember that the third princess's house seems to have a fishing rod, guarding such a big river, you have to have some fun, right? Unable to resist his persuasion, we went to the blind old man's house again, took the bamboo pole and found a water inlet, and squatted under the shade of the tree to dig earthworms.
Ge Zhuang skewered the earthworm on a fishing hook, broke the wheat stalks as floats, and said that it was a pity that he didn't bring a net, and the fish in this big river were not easy to catch, otherwise he would be able to drink fish soup tonight.
I said, don't you like to eat fish when you are in the backwaterport? Ge Zhuang hurriedly said Don't talk about it, Huishui Bay is the place where corpses accumulate, when you catch up, you can float seven or eight corpses a day, the fish grew up eating dead human flesh, and when you fished out the corpse, you didn't see the hole bitten out by the fish, who would dare to eat it?
I raised the bar with him and said, "Then how do you know that the Jiangling River has not drowned?" Ge Zhuang said Damn, little pumpkin, you deliberately disgusted me, didn't you? I don't have the heart to fish!
While the two of us were talking, the float on the water suddenly sank, and the fishing rod arched into a crescent shape, Ge Zhuang lifted the fishing rod, quickly jumped up and said, "Don't make trouble, the fish is hooked!" ”
