Chapter 17 is escorted to the ancestral hall
readx;? Qiaojia Village is a very backward small village in the northwest, the village is built on the mountain, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, there is not much intersection with the outside world, and the information is unusually closed. The www.biquge.info is sparsely populated, with about 30 households, of which more than 70% are surnamed Qiao, which may be why it is called Qiaojia Village.
The small mountain village is located in the low-lying area of the ravines and dusty beams, the melodious sound of chickens and dogs in the village, the faint cooking smoke and the quiet houses are located here, very similar to the landscape paintings written by the master Danqing.
All year round, a loess, a strong wind, a village, several households, cattle, sheep and livestock, wild crows and insects......
Qiao Xiaojing was born in this small mountain village, the living environment is limited, the only place she goes out to play is the mountain beam behind the village, she doesn't like to climb mountains, nor does she want to find out whether there are gods living behind the mountain, but a small mountain village, it looks narrow everywhere when she goes out, and it seems that only this high mountain beam is still brighter.
Since she was born, Qiao Xiaojing has been very loved by her father, often riding on her father's neck, accompanying her father to work in the field, or going home from work, which is originally the most normal thing, but because she is a daughter, she also causes a lot of trouble.
The villagers saw Qiao Liang a big man carrying a girl on his head all day long, although he didn't say anything on the surface, but he often pointed and talked behind his back, this Qiao Liang only did himself, and always had a gossip that had nothing to do with him.
Children don't think as complicated as adults, they don't think like adults, they think everything in complicated places, they think in dirty places, they think simply--- why did their father never treat them like this? And they never seem to think, to be exact, afraid to ride on their father's neck.
Whenever I saw Qiao Xiaojing riding on Qiao Liang's neck, there was no dissatisfaction and envy in the eyes of those children, but Qiao Xiaojing looked proud and full of spirit, and just smiled faintly at them.
After all, the traditional idea of patriarchy is deep-rooted, and the daughter's family has no social status in that era, which has continued for several years, how difficult it is to change overnight, but Qiao Xiaojing is different, she completely enjoys the happiness that she can't enjoy as a girl, and even some boys may not be able to live happily with her.
Later, Qiao Liang actually did a bolder and more "immoral" thing--- once, his father Qiao Liang took Qiao Xiaojing to work in the field, as usual, Qiao Xiaojing was left on the ground, playing with the flying butterflies, playing with the white floc of the dandelions, or playing with the soil, in short, you can play how you want, all by your own pleasure.
When Qiao Liang and they came home from work, Qiao Xiaojing was already tired, thirsty and hungry, like all children, she didn't want to walk home, this Qiao Liang originally planned to carry her, but happened to see a cow not far away, so he hugged his daughter on the back of the cow. At first, Qiao Xiaojing was so frightened that she cried, but Qiao Liang encouraged her again and again, and finally dispelled Qiao Xiaojing's worries and bravely rode on the back of the ox.
At that time, Qiao Xiaojing was only four years old, and she was not a big child in the village, but she set a precedent in Qiaojia Village at that age, that is, the only female baby who "dared" to walk on the back of a cow.
The "dare" here does not refer to courage, but courage, a kind of courage to challenge the ancestors' methods.
When Qiao Xiaojing rode the old ox back to the village, the faces of the people he saw changed greatly, his eyes were full of suspicion, and some even looked nervous, as if he had seen evil spirits--- each of them felt that Qiao Liang was too crazy, his move made the villagers afraid, and some even felt that Qiao Liang had been possessed by demons and was specially here to deal with Qiaojia Village.
Qiao Xiaojing naturally didn't understand why the villagers looked at her and her father with that kind of eyes, why they pointed fingers behind her, and she didn't understand what kind of thoughts were hidden behind this look, she only knew that she lived in an ordinary family with no troubles, her father gave him meticulous care and care, and she lived happily than any other child.
"Stop!" When Qiao Xiaojing and his father walked to the center of the village, someone suddenly stopped them behind them.
"Is there something wrong? It turned out to be Qiao Laosi, who was feeding the livestock by Qiao Baocai's family, and Qiao Liang looked at him.
"Where is this cow?" Qiao Si said, "Why did you let this little girl ride on the back of the cow?"
"Brother Baocai's cow, what's wrong?" Qiao Xiaojing was a little unhappy when she saw her father.
"How can you do such a thing?" Qiao Si said, "You don't know that women can't ride animals, this is a rule handed down by the elders, this woman riding animals is unlucky, and it will crush the animals out of illness." ”
"Nonsense," Qiao Liang reprimanded, "where do these things come from, women will crush animals out of disease, men are heavier than women, men don't see animals crush sick when they ride on animals, how can women crush animals out of disease?"
"That's what the elders said," Qiao Si was forced by Qiao Liang to ask like this, and he was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, he touched his head, blushed, and stammered, "If it can be passed down from the elders, there must be a reason for it, this is the rules, the rules are the rules, there is nothing that cannot be broken, don't you even want the rules left by the elders?"
"Why don't I want the rules of the old generation," Qiao Liang said angrily, "I'm just talking about things, telling the truth, what are you doing so far? Big deal, the child doesn't want to ride, why do you need to buckle such a big hat?"
"Let's take a look," Qiao Si saw that the villagers were gathered around, and suddenly had momentum, and yelled, "Why is this person like this, we are all from the same village, I just kindly reminded him a few words, this is not good, he is in a hurry." ”
"The fourth child is right," one of the villagers began to help, "the woman is heavy, it is better not to let her ride livestock." ”
"Yes," said another villager, "when I was a child, I remember a widow who rode a pig, and then the pig died. ”
"Oh," a few of the villagers agreed, "is that really the case?"
"That's not it!" Qiao Si finally caught the strong evidence, his face became extremely serious, and he nodded frequently, giving people the impression that everyone would look at how clever my decision was and how timely my stop was......
"Okay, okay!" Qiao Liang controlled his emotions, hugged Qiao Xiaojing from the cow, and said calmly to the villagers, "What everyone said is very reasonable, but I didn't think it through, so let everyone worry about me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Liang carried Qiao Xiaojing on his back and pulled the cow forward.
"This person is really tough," Qiao Liang could hear Qiao Si's voice at that time, he was saying in front of the villagers that he was not falling, and he said, "The predecessors said that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, and if the old people don't let you do it, there must be a reason why you don't let you do it, he just doesn't care, he does what he should do, and he doesn't take anyone in his eyes, as if no one can control him." ”
"The patriarch can clean him up," one villager said, "this kind of thing must be known to the patriarch." ”
"The patriarch doesn't care," the other villager sighed, "I think something big has to happen, and if it goes on like this, it's terrible!"
"yes......"
The villagers' chatters gradually disappeared behind Qiao Liang and Qiao Xiaojing, Qiao Liang knew that these people were just seeing that he was not standing with them, not thinking and doing the same things as them, taking the opportunity to chew the root of his tongue and vent the sullenness in his heart, so he ignored it, patted Qiao Xiaojing's back gently, and came towards Qiao Baocai's house.
Qiao Baocai was sitting at his vermilion gate, and when he saw Qiao Liang coming with a cow, he smiled and said: "This cow has eaten a lot today, and it looks like this belly is round and round, like two cauldrons locked together." ”
"Yes," Qiao Liang said according to Qiao Baocai's words, "I am fat and strong, and I am happy to look at." ”
Qiao Baocai took the reins of the cow, touched the smooth back of the cow, chatted with Qiao Liang for a few words, and teased Qiao Xiaojing to be happy, and then led the cow home, Qiao Liang returned home with a tired body, carrying Qiao Xiaojing on his back, unhurriedly.
Three days later, Qiao Baocai, accompanied by Qiao Si, came to Qiao Xiaojing's house angrily, stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Liangzi, you come out for me, you return my cow ......"
"Didn't I hand over the cow to you three days ago, why did you come to me and ask for the cow?" Qiao Liang put down the work in his hand, ran out of the house, and looked at Qiao Baocai puzzled.
"The cow was handed over to me," said Qiao Baocai, "but what you handed over to me was a dead cow, but when others saw you holding the cow, it was alive and kicking up and down, and there was nothing wrong with it." ”
"When I gave you the cow, wasn't it also alive and kicking, and there was nothing wrong with it at all, how could it be a dead cow?"
"You tell him," Qiao Baocai glanced at Qiao Si beside him and ordered, "You tell him everything you know, I don't bother to tell him so much!"
"Liangzi, I said it a long time ago," Qiao Si took a step forward, with a villain's face, and said loudly, "It's not good for women to ride livestock, you didn't think so at the time, but now? The cow really couldn't see anything wrong at that time, mainly because it was fed well before, but it didn't work in the past two days, the forage was not good, it was like not waking up all day, there was no energy at all, it died last night, what a good cow, alas, it was a pity to say that it was dead!"
"Dead?" Qiao Liang was taken aback.
"You heard it right," Qiao Baocai glared at Qiao Liang and said, "It's because you let Xiaojing of your family, a girl ride my cow, and a fat and strong cow died like this." ”
"How can this be?" Qiao Liang really couldn't figure it out.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Qiao Baocai scolded, "Say, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, let him pay!" Qiao Si pointed at Qiao Liang fiercely.
"Is it really dead?" Qiao Liang still couldn't believe it was true, thinking it was too incredible.
"Do you think I'm slandering you?" Qiao Baocai walked up to Qiao Liang, slapped him violently, and scolded, "Will I slander you for no reason?"
"This kid usually has a pretentious look," Qiao Si wasted no time in giving Qiao Baocai some eye medicine, "No one pays attention to it, not even the patriarch." ”
Qiao Liang was angry and anxious, gritted his teeth and gurgled as he glared at Qiao Baocai and Qiao Si.
"Call two people," Qiao Baocai said, "tie up this kid and take him to the ancestral hall!"
