Chapter 3 What Crime Justifies Dogs were slaughtered instead

The winter and summer of Xiaoyizhuang are particularly long, but the spring and autumn are brushed aside. Therefore, most of Wen Jing's memories of Xiaoyizhuang are branded with winter and summer.

In winter, Xiaoyizhuang is boring, but it is also warm and lively.

Because there is an early bus at the bus station every day, Zhu Xinghua has to get up and wash before dawn. After eating the poached eggs and scallion oil noodles that Xu Guiying made for him alone, he went to work with a boiling water bottle and stepped on the ice slag against the cold north wind.

Early one morning, Zhu Xinghua went out as usual, and Baal watched him go downhill as usual until no one was seen. As he passed by his vegetable patch, he noticed a large group of dogs lingering in the field. He wondered: Where did these dozen or so dogs come from? Why do you gather here early in the morning?

Zhu Xinghua was about to step forward and shout to drive away, when he suddenly found that this group of dogs looked more pointed in jaws, thicker tails, and fiercer eyes than the home-bred Baals, and they were uniformly wolf yellow.

"Not good! It's the wolf coming. Zhu Xinghua was shocked; At this time, the wolves also spotted him and watched his every move. The two sides faced each other silently at a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

There are few pedestrians on the village road on a winter morning. First, because of the slack season and the ice and snow, the villagers are happy to stay in the warm quilt for a while, anyway, they are basking in the sun and chatting; The second is because getting up late can also save the ration for one breakfast, and two meals can be made together.

When the wise man wins on a narrow road, Zhu Xinghua knows that the opportunity to test his courage has come. He slammed the boiling water bottle into the wolves, then turned and ran in his own direction. He ran and shouted, "The wolf is coming!" The wolf has entered the village! ”

At that time, except for the eldest daughter Zhu Yuliang in Zhuji and the eldest son Zhu Zhili in Jurong, Zhu Yushan, Zhu Yuzhen, Zhu Zhihui, and Zhu Zhicheng were all at home, because the school had just had a winter vacation. Xu Guiying, who was cooking sweet potatoes on the fire, heard her husband's shouts and immediately told her children to get up to meet the enemy. Zhu Zhihui and Zhu Zhicheng didn't have time to put on their padded jackets and picked up the guys and ran out, Xu Guiying led Zhu Yushan and Zhu Yuzhen to arrive with a basin and a kettle; Then, the people from the neighborhoods also came with hoes and shovels......

It is said that this group of hungry wolves took great risks to go down the mountain to forage for food, but they did not find food early in the morning, but they were coldly attacked by a boiling water bottle bomb. Before they could understand what was going on, a large crowd had already arrived. The shouts of the demonstrations and the tapping of ping-pong pong frightened them. Seeing that the situation was not good, the first wolf fled and fled, and the wolves followed closely and fled back to their lair in the mountains.

When Zhu Zhicheng told Wen Jing about this wolf exorcism operation, her little face looked excited and frightened. She was excited that she seemed to be involved in this battle, and her fear came from Zhu Zhicheng's intimidation: "Do you dare to go outside alone in the future?" Beware of being taken away by wolves! ”

Wen Jing likes to listen to Zhu Zhicheng, a high-nosed, big-eyed, and vibrant little uncle, tell many beautiful stories. It's just that this little uncle, who is not a few years older than his niece, loves to play tricks on Wen Jing, sometimes rolling his eyes at her, and even lifting her high and then slamming her on the quilt. Therefore, Wen Jing usually tries to avoid him when she can, unless he is in a story meeting.

Compared with her uncle Zhu Zhicheng, Wen Jing admires her second uncle Zhu Zhihui more. Zhu Zhihui is gentle and silent, and there is always a touch of shame on her red face, and she is more shy and afraid of life than a girl. Zhu Zhihui not only did not bully Wen Jing, but also took good care of her, like an uncle. Once, Zhu Zhihui went to Xiaoyizhuang Bus Station to pick up Wen Jing and go home, and there was goose feather snow outside. The young man with a delicate heart carried Wen Jing on his back but was afraid that her calves would be frozen, so he bent her legs and clamped them under his squeaky socket, and then said, "You have to hold my neck tightly!" When everything was ready, he shouted "rush", and rushed into the snow world with Wen Jing on his back. At that time, this backing made Wen Jing feel very uncomfortable, and Zhu Zhihui's running made her internal organs misplaced; But she understood the kindness of her second uncle, so she endured the discomfort and let him carry home.

In terms of emotional intimacy, Wen Jing and her aunt Zhu Yuzhen are naturally the deepest. Because Zhu Yuzhen stayed at home the longest, she spent the most time with Wen Jing. As long as Zhu Yuzhen is at home, she will take Wen Jing with her, whether it is to take a bath in the army bathhouse or go to the army auditorium to watch a movie, or go to her classmate Guo Qianqian's house to play, she will not leave Wen Jing alone once. Once, Zhu Yuzhen took Wen Jing to the army to watch the feature film "The White-Haired Girl". When Wen Jing saw Huang Shiren hugging Xi'er and Xi'er struggling to escape, she asked Zhu Yuzhen: "Auntie, what are they doing?" Zhu Yuzhen "shh But Wen Jing still doesn't understand, why Huang Shiren is bullying Xi'er by hugging Xi'er?

In addition to having a close relationship with her aunt, Wen Jing is also very clingy to her second aunt Zhu Yushan. Among the six brothers and sisters of the family, Shu Zhu Yushan and Zhu Zhihui are the most gentle and supple, and they can be called a pair of well-behaved girls who are the most worry-free for their parents. Similarly, the person who makes Wen Jing's favorite and most daring to be presumptuous is also Zhu Yushan. After graduating from high school, Zhu Yushan was hired as a substitute teacher at Xiaoyizhuang Primary School. That year, Zhu Yushan saw that four or five-year-old Wen Jing was bored at home, so he took her to the primary school class, trying to make her read and write as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Wen Jing saw that the students were reading the text in the morning, and they also made strange noises along with the noise; Zhu Yushan was lecturing on the stage, and Wen Jing made small movements and grimaces below, so that Zhu Yushan couldn't help but laugh when he spoke; In addition, Wen Jing either broke someone's eraser or tore someone's book...... There was no way, Zhu Yushan had no choice but to bring this unenlightened demon king back home.

Wen Jing is not only afraid of her grandmother, but also afraid of her uncle Zhu Zhili. As the eldest son of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhili is only four or five years younger than his sister Zhu Yuliang, and he is the only one who has the same childhood memories with Zhu Yuliang. After Zhu Yuliang got married, Zhu Zhili naturally took on the responsibility of sharing the worries of his parents and disciplining his younger siblings on behalf of his parents. Therefore, he is like a deputy parent, don't say that Wen Jing is afraid of him, all his younger siblings are afraid of him.

Once, probably Zhu Zhicheng, the child king, beat another little friend, and the parents complained to Xu Guiying, so angry that Xu Guiying picked up the broom and chased after his son, but Zhu Zhicheng ran faster than a rabbit. Xu Guiying scolded viciously: "Grandma, look at how your eldest brother cleans you up when he comes back!" Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Zhili came home on Sunday, Zhu Zhicheng was firmly tied to the pillar and gave the eldest brother a strong beating until his two front teeth were knocked out alive...... Fortunately, Zhu Zhicheng still has a chance to change his teeth. When Wen Jing saw this scene, she was naturally frightened, and she was so frightened that she was silent, and even had nightmares.

Because of this incident, Wen Yuanfang specially wrote to persuade his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Yuliang and I both think that it is very inappropriate to let Zhili discipline your younger brothers and sisters on your behalf, because after all, they are siblings and equals. Moreover, it is a new society, and the patriarchal system of the elder brother like a father in the past and the education method of filial piety under the stick are obviously outdated. Children should be educated when they make mistakes, but it is not advisable to beat and scold them at every turn, because this will not only not play an educational role, but will cause children to rebel against ......"

Maybe Wen Yuanfang's words have a bit of weight in the family, and such domestic violence incidents have never happened again.

Although Wen Jing was afraid of Zhu Zhili, Zhu Zhili still loved this niece very much before she had her own small family. Once, Zhu Zhili took Wen Jing to play in his own factory in Jurong County, bought her new clothes and shoes, and asked the barber to cut her doll head. After cutting his head, Zhu Zhili found that Wen Jing's little ear was a little bloodshot, so he quarreled with the barber and almost beat someone.

A person's childhood is only ten years. And this decade of seemingly graffiti on the blank title page of life has precisely set the tone of a person's life's destiny. Whether Wen Jing realizes it or not, the bits and pieces of her experience in Xiaoyizhuang have already penetrated into her blood, emotions and future.
