20 TV, full of uncles
The rays of the setting sun shine over the small mountain villages, staining the thatched houses, fence walls and firewood stacks a faint shade of red.
There are roosters and dogs crowing in the village, and the local atmosphere is permeated.
Father Wang took Wang Yuan to Uncle Man's house in the west of the village, chatting while walking.
"Later, when I get to Uncle Man's house, I will call people who remember, don't wilt, don't speak, there is no harm in being diligent and fast."
"Uh-huh, I know."
Soon the two came to the courtyard gate of Uncle Man's house, and to the west was the house of Uncle Man's son "Liu Dazhu", whose house was the first to have a TV in Tunzi, although it was a black and white TV, but it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm.
At this time.
There is a table in the courtyard of Liu Dazhu's house, and the TV is playing a TV series on the table, wah, wow, wow~ The sound is turned on to the maximum.
The courtyard was full of villagers, men, women and children, and there were many children's running and frolicking sounds.
"Little Four, don't run away, come and watch the TV series." An old lady shouted.
"Mengzhu's hairstyle is really good-looking, I'll cut the same one another day."
"yes, what's the name of this TV series? It's so beautiful. ”
"A few degrees of sunset red."
Everyone watching the TV series is not quiet at all, noisy and shouting, which annoys the daughter-in-law of the pillar, snap~ deliberately threw things and quarreled with the pillar, and the pillar pushed her into the house with an embarrassed face.
"Who can stand it day by day, and the garbage left over from eating is also thrown all over the ground...... Isn't electricity money? It's the same as how rich our family is...... Children still have to pay tuition fees when school starts......"
"Oops, little bit, little ......"
Liu Dazhu and his family were noisy in the house, and the courtyard was still lively, almost unaffected.
"How many degrees of sunset red?"
Wang Yuan was slightly stunned, he had watched this TV series in his previous life, adapted from Qiong Yao's novel, the male protagonist is Qin Han, and the female protagonist is Liu Xuehua, both of whom are big guys.
Liu Xuehua also played the queen mother in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Then.
Uncle Man walked out of the house with a big cigarette pouch in his hand: "It's Xiaolin, have you eaten?"
"Eat." Father Wang said with a smile: "It's okay to be idle after eating, Xiaoyuan said to go to Uncle Man's house to play for a while, and I said let's go."
"Haha, you can come whenever you want, let's go, let's go into the house and talk."
Uncle Man laughed with a wrinkled face, took a puff of dry tobacco, and opened the fence gate to let Wang Yuan and his son in.
"Goo~"
A fat old hen wanted to run out when she saw the gap, but was kicked by Uncle Man.
After a few people entered the house, they sat on the kang and chatted, and Grandma Man brought over a poluo (tobacco basket), which contained some yellow-brown fine tobacco leaves.
Even if the guests don't smoke, the host will pass the basket over, which is a matter of etiquette.
Father Wang gave the bear meat and meat buns he brought to Grandma Man, and Uncle Man instantly knew what it meant, and Wang Yuan was not the only one who wanted to go into the mountain with him.
Grandma Man was very happy, bear meat and meat buns are good things, she immediately broke a meat bun and shared it with Uncle Man, and when she saw her little granddaughter running in, she broke a piece of meat bun and gave it to her little granddaughter.
The little guy had a yellow face and thin muscles, and while eating meat buns, he stared at Wang Yuan's father and son with beautiful big eyes, and did not speak.
Grandma Man smiled: "Xiaoyuan is good at making steamed buns, this steamed bun is so delicious."
Dad Wang smiled: "Hey, just do nonsense, I don't dislike it if it's my own people."
"No, it's really delicious."
Uncle Man's house is similar to Wang Yuan's grandfather's house, with dirt floors, newspaper walls, and very small pieces of glass on the windows, which look gray.
His big raccoon cat is really good, fat, lying on the edge of the kang with small paws, snoring and snoring, and not afraid of people.
Wang Yuan gently stroked her, her snoring became louder, and in an instant Wang Yuan knew that the living environment of this fat cat must be very good. Only in an environment where it is safe and no one drives away and scolds cats will develop this character.
He looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the kangqin.
Kangqin is not a qin.
Instead, it is placed in a small cabinet on the kang head.
The small cabinet is less than one meter high, and at the bottom is a row of small doors more than half a meter high, in which things can be placed, and the upper row is a drawer, where small bits and pieces such as needles and threads can be placed.
Put quilts, pillows, and so on on the countertop.
There are very exquisite patterns on the cabinet doors and drawer doors, flowers, birds, fish and insects, bright colors, which seem to be a little out of place with the dilapidated earthen houses, and even the small handle of the kang qin is fish-shaped, which is very beautiful.
"Uncle Man, your kang qin is so beautiful." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Uncle Man didn't hear what Wang Yuan said at first, in his eyes Wang Yuan was still a child, his attention was not on him, and he laughed instantly after knowing what he said.
"Haha, this is what I did when I got married to your grandmother, it's been decades."
The kang qin was brought by Grandma Man from her mother's house, looking at the kang qin, her eyes were full of reminiscence: "No, it's been more than 40 years, and my father found someone to make it."
Kangqin is still there, but her father has long since died. When she first came to Wangjiatun with a kang qin, she was not yet 20 years old, and now she is in her 60s, and a small kang qin has accompanied her almost all her life.
Grandma Man was a little sad, so she found her big cigarette pouch, pressed the tobacco leaves and lit it, and smoked it with a snap.
Yes, Grandma Man also smokes.
After chatting for a while, Wang's father explained his intention - he wanted Wang Yuan to follow Uncle Man into the mountains to look for ginseng, hoping that Uncle Man could take care of Wang Yuan.
"No problem, let's go into the mountain together, but you must listen to me when you enter the mountain." Uncle Man's gaze swam between Wang Yuan's father and son.
"Of course, I'll do whatever Uncle Man asks me to do." Wang Yuan hurriedly assured.
Uncle Man said with a smile: "Go into the mountains to pick ginseng, pay attention to going to single and double, just now Wang Shuai and his son came, Wang Shuai also wants to go into the mountain with me."
But I added him as an even number before, so I didn't promise him, and now I just add you two to be a singular number, so take him with you. ”
After hearing the name of "Wang Shuai", Wang Yuan was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything.
Grandma Man pouted: "Wang Shuai and his son brought some blueberries that were about to rot, and the wild fruits that didn't need money were all wilted, it's really yo~"
Grandma Man blames Wang Shuai and his son.
In later generations, some wild blueberries could be sold for dozens of dollars a catty, but now wild blueberries are wild fruits, no one buys them, and they are worthless, and they are the same thing as wild vegetables such as thorn shoots.
"What's the noise?"
Uncle Man was a little embarrassed, glanced at Wang Yuan's father and son, and then said to Grandma Man: "Is there still a sticky bean bag?" Take a few and give them to Xiaoyuan to taste. ”
……
After agreeing to find an auspicious day to enter the mountain, Wang Yuan and his son left, and Grandma Man asked them to bring some sticky bean buns away, but they couldn't refuse, so they took a few back.
In the end, the sticky bean buns all went into the little girl's stomach.
