Chapter 17 Nestling in the countryside
Hu Kehao sorted out the bookcase and was still caught up in the memories of elementary school. Suddenly, the goose crowed at the door, and there was a guest at home, a man, about forty years old, with a beard, a chicken in his hand, and a basket of eggs. Hu Kehao was studying abroad, and some people in the village had not met for a long time and did not know each other. This person introduced himself: "I am Tang Ao, and I live in Group 2 of Huaishu Village, not far from your Group 4. This is my son Tang Meng. Tang Meng was admitted to the U City Polytechnic University this year, and I heard that you are a teacher there, so please take more care of him then. ”
"Please sit down, they are all from the villagers, and they must be taken care of." Hu Kehao invited Tang Ao into the house, poured him tea, and asked Tang Meng about some of the situation. This Tang Meng's academic performance is very good, but he is very honest and shy, and when he goes to study so far away alone, far away from his hometown, Tang Ao is worried that he will not be able to take good care of himself.
"The process of a child's growth is a process of gradual independence, and you have to let him fly outside." Hu Kehao said.
"Our family Tang Meng, this kid is very obedient, serious in his studies, and not naughty. But Tang Meng's younger brother Tang Ning didn't like to study, hated school, and skipped school. I work outside all the year round, Tang Ning has been led by his grandparents since he was a child, and his grandparents doted on Tang Ning and didn't take care of him well, and now I don't know how to educate him. I was going to bring him here today, please educate him, he won't come alive or dead. I have always regarded you as a positive example and idol to educate him, and you have the opportunity to come to our house as a guest, reason with him, and let him learn well from your example. In Tang Ao's eyes, it is a very remarkable thing that rural children can be admitted to university. He used Hu Kehao as a positive example and role model to educate children. It is said that after a few years, some rural college students had difficulty finding jobs, and as a result, they became impoverished, which became a negative teaching material in the village.
Tang Ning has finished the second year of junior high school and is about to enter the third year of junior high school. When he was in the first year of junior high school, he learned badly with some people in his class. Influenced by some martial arts TV series, Tang Ning actually went out to explore the rivers and lakes. The biggest world in Tangning's eyes is the township, and he doesn't know that there are county seats, provincial towns, and international metropolises in the world. In the process of wandering the rivers and lakes, Tang Ning wandered everywhere and came to Calamus Township. He picked up some torn cotton wool and lived in a broken cave. For Downing, this is his paradise. Because he decided to realize his highest ideal in the broken cave - to cultivate the world's divine skills. We know that martial arts masters generally live in seclusion in broken caves. For example, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the black wind twin evils Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng hid in a dark corner to cultivate the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, and in "Dragon Babu", Wu Yazi also lived in seclusion in a cave. Therefore, the broken cave is an excellent place for Tang Ning to practice martial arts, and he wants to practice all the high-level martial arts that have appeared on TV. Tang Ning bought a lot of food and stored it in the cave, cultivating peerless magic skills day and night. But the reality is often contrary to the ideal, Tang Ning quickly ran out of money, and in order to practice martial arts, he had to go out to find food.
Calamus Township is a poor and remote country, and it is true to say that the poor countryside is out of the people. An underworld gang in Calamus Township has set its sights on Tang Ning, and they want to pull him into the gang. "You are all villains, I want to cultivate peerless divine skills, and when I am done, I can do chivalrous righteousness, eliminate harm for the people, and kill you robbers." Downing said.
"That's amazing! I studied under the Shaolin Temple monks, and I will descend the dragon eighteen palms, such as the god palm, the great shift of the universe, follow me is right! I'm going to teach you these martial arts. Said the underworld leader.
"Yes! Our eldest brother is so good at martial arts that he is invulnerable, and ten bullets can't help him. A dogleg said.
"Follow us, there's meat to eat." Another dogleg said.
Tang Ning admired the leader's martial arts, and he was hungry and wanted to eat meat, so he followed the leader to do some bad things like stealing chickens and dogs. The boss is ready to focus on cultivating Downing, first of all, to train him in guts and cruelty. Under the arrangement of the leader, Tang Ning's first vote was to go to the street to grab the garlic seedlings sold by an old lady. At that time, the old lady was shouting on the street, and there were many people buying garlic seedlings. When there were only a few handfuls of garlic sprouts left, Tang Ning pretended to buy them, took the garlic sprouts and looked left and right, and finally ran away with the garlic sprouts. The old lady couldn't catch up, so she had to give up. Downing threw the garlic sprouts he had snatched everywhere to show his achievements.
Fortunately, Tang Ning was not deeply poisoned, and finally realized the evil of the underworld leader and resolutely broke with it. This triad gang is only engaged in some activities of stealing chickens and dogs and bullying the market, and this does not mean that its members are only allowed to enter but not leave. Tang Ning's withdrawal from this gang naturally will not be hunted down by the legend. Tang Ning was finally found home by his family and beaten severely, but now he still doesn't like to study, Tang Ao is so anxious that he can't do it, he doesn't want Tang Ning to follow his old path of working in the future, and hopes that he will get ahead in his studies. Hu Kehao knew that there were some problem children in the countryside, and he promised to visit his house when he had the opportunity.
When lunch time came, Tang Ao wanted to take the child home. It happened that Hu's father and Hu's mother came back from Baishi Township, cut two catties of meat, and bought some fresh fruits. Hu's father said: "It's a hot day, the temperature is above 38 degrees every day, God doesn't rain, and the residents on the street have no water to eat." Today, a waterwheel came to the city to deliver water from house to house. ”
"Hu Kehao has finally read it now, and he will be the one who eats the emperor's food in the future. You don't have to face the loess with your back to the sky and dig in the land to eat. Tang Ao said, "Tang Meng, you have to learn from this big brother!" ”
"You're putting a high hat on him again. He is just a small college counselor, and he will need a lot of money to buy a house and get married in the future. Father Hu said.
Tang Ao has never liked to eat at other people's homes, and he was about to leave after a few polite words with Hu's father. Hu's father and Hu's mother tried their best to keep it, but he was disrespectful. Hu Kehao helped to make the vegetables and light the fire. He Xin saw the bellows in the kitchen very strangely. This bellows is a wooden box in the shape of a cuboid body, which has a square wooden piston with chicken feathers inlaid at the contact between the piston and the box. We all know that gas Qiang or high-pressure container, there is a piston inside, there is a sealing ring between the piston and the container, the piston moves up and down, and the sealing ring ensures that the piston does not leak. This bellows is the same principle, except that the seals have been replaced with chicken feathers. Of course, the sealing is not too good, but the bellows lever moves back and forth, and the piston can blow air into the stove. Based on this, the ancients coined a postscript: the mouse in the bellows - the two ends are angry. It is said that some departments of some companies are intrigued, and the leaders are suspicious of each other and tear each other down, and some of the employees below are: rats in the bellows - angry at both ends.
At night, Hu's mother specially vacated a room for He Xin to live in. What He Xin is most afraid of is the rats and cockroaches in the countryside, which she encountered. In the middle of the night, He Xin heard a rustling sound coming from the house. She knew that it wasn't some monster messing around, but that the rats in the house were starting to move. Ladies and gentlemen, why is the rat the first place in the zodiac? Why does the first hour represent a mouse? It turns out that rats love to move in the middle of the night. Especially in winter, the rats of the peasant family live extremely happily, half of the bacon of every household is bitten off, there is not much sausage left, and even the tweed coat that the family treasures is reluctant to wear is not spared, and it is gnawed to a thousand holes. In the past, Hu Kehao's family also had a cat, but this cat did not work at all, as if it was still afraid of mice. In fact, this is not surprising, think about it, some security guards can't keep safe, accountants can't make real accounts, and they can't blame cats for not catching mice. So later, Hu's father stopped raising cats in anger. It is said that rats are actually very afraid of people, the most afraid of women screaming, foreigners have also done experiments, in the screams of frightened women, rats are scared to death, some are scared, some are scared to urine. So in He Xin's exclamation, the mouse gradually hid.
The rat infestation was solved, and the oil thief came out to mistreat again. The scientific name of the oil thief is cockroach. The Japanese said: "If there is a nuclear war in the world, only the Chinese and cockroaches will survive." "Because we have been tested by poisonous food for a long time, we are no longer poisonous, so the Japanese use cockroaches to flatter us. These hateful oil thieves, countless people are the nests of oil thieves. They like to hide in the cracks of the bricks, and at night they crawl out to wreak havoc as soon as the lights are turned off, and if you turn on the lights, they are already gone. For many years, Hu Kehao's mother began a war with the oil thief. The oil thief who stole food scraps added a lot of sugar and vitamins, and she was shiny and could fly and bite. It is said that it is afraid of boiling water, Hu Mu once boiled several large pots of boiling water, poured it when she saw a hole, scalded a few small ones, the old thief oil women have experience, crouched in the dark to laugh at people's powerlessness, and stretched out tentacles to demonstrate. Hu's mother bought another insecticide and sprayed it in the place where the oil thief might appear. After sprinkling it, I was overjoyed, thinking that the end of the oil thief had come, but I was almost poisoned, and rushed to the yard to breathe fresh air, thinking that even people were almost suffocated to death, and this time the oil thief would definitely become a rare animal in the family. Things in the world are often contradictory. The oil thieves have long been resistant to pesticides (which is why the Japanese say that cockroaches are not afraid of nuclear war), where are they afraid of pesticides? The active ingredients in the medicine may be exactly absorbed by them.
Hu Mu didn't believe that a few oil thieves couldn't clean it up. This night, Hu's mother was afraid that the oil thief would disturb He Xin, so she smeared lard on the cutting board and put it on the way of the oil thief, turned off the lights, waited, and secretly imagined the scene of the oil thief sharing the lard. It's the last supper of the oil thieves! At the critical moment, Hu Mu turned on the light and rushed in, poured a bottle of boiling water on the cutting board, and scalded to death more than 20 oil thieves. After such trial and error, it was tried again and again, and the corpses of the oil women were all over the place, and it didn't work to eat anything this time, unless it was scald cream. Think about how many brain flowers can be contained in a brain case the size of an oil thief, it is impossible to have human wisdom. Hu Mu felt that she was a general who killed millions of enemies on the battlefield, and this victory over the oil thief felt very comfortable. She couldn't help but smirk. The cause of death of this oil thief happened to be the "oil stealing" in her own name, which is really a pity!
