Chapter 281: Two Chickens
A few of us threw away the stones and dirt in our hands, and we were about to go into the hall to catch the stupid rabbit, but before we could enter the house, the figure in the house flickered, and someone bent down and grabbed the big rabbit by two ears, and lifted the big rabbit from the ground.
I fixed my eyes and saw that it was none other than Qiang Shun's father Wang Sihe, Wang Sihe picked up the rabbit and glanced at a few of us, probably seeing us sweating profusely, so he asked me: "Yellow River, this rabbit was brought in by you?" ”
I nodded, Wang Sihe smiled, his eyes lit up, and said to me, "Go and call your dad to drink and eat rabbit meat tonight." ”
I was disappointed when I heard it, we took a long time, and then I asked you adults to pick up a ready-made one, and I was unreasonable with you. I looked at the rabbit with my eyes, my body didn't move, Wang Sihe was not happy, and urged: "Go quickly, if you don't go, I'll ask your mother to throw you into the well." ”
As soon as I heard it, I learned it all. Turning around, I grabbed my brother and went home to find my dad, and after walking a few steps, my brother whispered to me, "Brother, I also want to eat rabbit meat." I turned my head to look at him and said, "You can come with our dad in a moment and eat more." ”
My younger brother swallowed his saliva and nodded, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Wang Sihe say to Ming Jun again: "Ming Jun, go and call your father too." Ming Jun happily responded, ran past us like a big rabbit, and went home to call his father. I looked at his carefree back and sighed old-fashionedly, alas, what a blessing to be a silly child......
When I brought my brother back home, my dad had already come back from the welding shop, my mom was cooking dinner, and my grandma was feeding the chickens in the yard.
I said to my dad, "Dad, my uncle told you to go to his house to eat rabbit meat and drink wine." ”
My dad asked me, "Where did your uncle get the rabbit meat?" ”
I told my dad about the stupid rabbit hitting the table leg just now, and my dad laughed and said to my mom, "Don't cook for me." ”
My mom was upset when she heard this, and my mom was most annoyed that my dad drank too much, but my mom didn't say anything this time.
At this time, my grandmother came in from outside after feeding the chickens, held a small dustpan of corn in her hand, put the dustpan at the door, and asked me: "Huang He, what did you just tell your father?" What rabbits? ”
Although my grandmother said that she was old, she had good ears and eyes, and she must have heard what I told my dad in the yard, so I told me again about the stupid rabbit hitting the table leg.
Grandma listened and pondered for a while, at this time, my dad was just about to go out to Wang Sihe's house, my grandma hurriedly stopped him, solemnly explained to my dad, rabbits can be killed, meat can also be eaten, however, after the meat is cooked, people can not eat first, write "the position of the five ghosts" on a piece of yellow paper, and then set a small table in the northwest corner of the courtyard, "the position of the five ghosts" on the table, offer rabbit meat, and then burn a bundle of whole incense, and wait for the incense to burn half, the rabbit meat is taken off the table and eaten casually.
When my dad heard this, he looked at my grandmother with a puzzled face and said, "Why is it so troublesome to eat rabbit meat?" ”
My grandmother said, "This rabbit was sent by the wild ghosts two days ago, let them eat it first." ”
My dad smashed his mouth and said, "This rabbit was brought into Sihe's house by a few of their children in the Yellow River, and it has nothing to do with those wild ghosts." With that, he pushed the door and was about to leave.
Seeing this, grandma said helplessly: "It's better for me to go with you, you young people now, don't respect ghosts and gods, and if something happens, you will know to make trouble for me." ”
As soon as my brother heard that grandma was also going, he hurriedly ran over and grabbed the corner of grandma's clothes, my brother tilted his head, put the index finger of his right hand in his mouth and bit it, a pair of big eyes watery and showed longing, pitifully looked at grandma, and begged: "Grandma, grandma, I want to eat rabbit meat...... "There is a way that crying children have milk to eat, although my brother has never cried since he was born, but his ability to pretend to be pitiful is the peak, it is estimated that he was brought over by the womb, as long as others see his big eyes watery, puffing with a dirty finger, No one can help but give him a little bit of the food in their hands, and my poor brother has killed many innocent and kind neighbors in seconds.
Grandma is known as "Bai Dashanren", and she has no immunity to my brother's trick at all, so Grandma immediately bent down, "Oh, my good grandson, come on, grandma hug ......"
My mom heard her busy saying, "Mom, how old are you, and you're still carrying him, he's in the first grade." ”
Grandma probably thought my mom was right, and smiled at my mom: "Then I'll take him with me." ”
"Grandma...... I want to go too. Seeing this, I whispered a word next to me.
Grandma looked at me, turned her face straight and said, "You are not allowed to go, stay at home!" ”
I lowered my head when I heard this, my lower lip wrapped my upper lip, and I was about to cry aggrieved.
God, why are you so unkind to people? is also a grandson, why is the gap so big? Doesn't it mean that crying children have milk? I cry every day, why am I beaten every day? My brother doesn't cry, why does he have meat to eat?
Grandma pulled my brother away, I turned around, found a corner to wipe my tears, I should be unlucky, this nest of bags back to my mother to see, and to my mother to count down, God, the house leak also happened to rain for days, people and ghosts are not waiting to see......
At nine o'clock in the evening, I was already asleep, and I felt that someone was shaking me vigorously in my sleep, I opened my eyes and saw that the light in the house was on, and my brother was standing next to my bed, and my brother smiled and stuffed an oily thing into my hand, "Brother, I stole a rabbit leg for you." ”
I put what my brother had stuffed into my eyes and ate it with a whimper......
Many years later, I realized why my grandmother didn't ask me to go to Qiangshun's house to eat rabbit meat, because I had a lot of yang energy, if I went, those wild ghosts would not be too late to see me hiding, who would dare to sit down and eat rabbit meat? Born not to laugh, people and ghosts are not welcome......
On the fourth day, there was nothing to do, and on the fifth day, it was still dark, and a few of us were playing happily at the door of Qiangshun's house, and Qiangshun's mother called Qiangshun and asked Qiangshun to drive the chickens into the chicken coop.
The chickens we have here, let them out every morning, put them for a day, and then they carry a bamboo pole and stick or something into the chicken coop in the evening, and they used to raise that kind of small grass chicken, and the hen feathers are generally gray and yellow, and there are also black, and the rooster feathers are flowers, and the rooster is very beautiful, and it will crow.
This kind of little grass chicken is smart and clever, and also recognizes home and people, runs around for a day during the day, and does not run far, and comes back by himself in the evening, as long as it is not touched by others, it will not be lost.
We children still like to do the work of driving chickens into the chicken coop, each carrying a long stick, chasing and intercepting them.
Hearing Qiangshun's mother's instructions, we found sticks, which picked up chickens for Qiangshun's family. We also have a habit here, every day when we put the chickens into the chicken coop, we have to count them again to see if they are lost.
There are still four of us, three of us are in charge of the fight, and one is in charge of the number.
I'm a little older than Qiangshun and them, I'm responsible for counting next to the chicken coop, the three of them are responsible for carrying sticks, and there are not a few of them, Qiangshun is not happy, let me exchange with the Ming army, let the Ming army be responsible for counting, I'll pick it up. Why? As I said earlier, the Ming army was very excited about playing everything, let him carry a stick to catch the chicken, it was okay at first, but after a while, he knocked it open with a stick, and those little hens knocked it for him, one stick at a time, if he was knocked to death, the aunt had to beat him with a fat meal.
I exchanged with Ming Jun, I took a stick and Qiang Shun and my brother, and the three of them got together, and Ming Jun stood next to the chicken coop and stared at his slanted eyes.
Qiangshun chickens, a total of sixteen, a big rooster, fifteen little hens, and so we put all of them into the chicken coop, when asked how many Ming Jun few, Ming Jun replied, eighteen.
We suddenly stared at each other with big eyes, why are there two more? We don't suspect that there is a problem with Ming Jun's mathematics, because everyone is in the first grade, and it should be no problem to count a few chickens at this level, but if there is a problem, it may be in his squint eye, which I heard can sometimes see one thing as two.
I told Qiang Shun to count again, but after Qiang Shun finished counting, he still stared at him with big eyes, and he counted eighteen.
Are there really two more? I really didn't believe in this evil, so I put the stick in my hand into the chicken coop, and stabbed and counted the chickens one by one, and at last after stabbing them, there were indeed eighteen.
Qiang Shun ran into the house and said to his mother, and the aunt came out of the house with a broken mouth, "You children, especially Qiang Shun and Huang He, are in the fourth grade, and you can't even count chickens." ”
My aunt told us a stick, and she pushed the chickens in the coop one by one, counted them one by one, and after counting, she said to herself, "There are really two more." ”
My aunt threw down her stick and went out into the street, asking from house to house if there were any chickens in your house, and she also came to our house to ask, and the result was that there was no less.
In the end, my aunt asked us to get all the chickens out of the chicken coop, and our own chickens were known to our families, and the extra two chickens could be recognized at a glance as long as they were pulled out of the chicken coop.
After a while, we drove the chickens from the coop into the yard, and when my aunt saw it, she told us that there were two more little hens, which were a little bigger, and that she told us to drive them away. Sometimes other people's chickens come running over, just drive them away, and when they come out into the street, they will go back to their own house.
Before we could get the two chickens out, my grandmother walked in at the courtyard gate and hurriedly stopped us, "Don't get rid of it, don't get rid of it, this is sent by someone, it's not good to take them away." ”
When the aunt heard this, she asked, "Who sent it?" ”
My grandmother said, "Who else, the ones who gave the rabbits last time?" ”
When my aunt heard this, she hurriedly told us to drive all the chickens in the yard into the chicken coop.
As for these two chickens, they laid two eggs that night, and then one every day in the evening, especially on time.
There are two more hens that can lay eggs for no reason, and the Qiangshun family is very happy, not only are they happy, but I also find that their big rooster is also very happy......
