Chapter 5: General Jianwei (1)
The 16th day of the first month of 1924 is the 590th anniversary of the birth of General Jianwei Chen Yan, although this General Jianwei was an official of the former dynasty who was canonized by Emperor Xianfeng of the former Qing Dynasty, and although this General Jianwei has been dead for more than 20 years, the nostalgia of Chen Jiafang people for him has not weakened at all. At noon on this day, in the ancestral hall of the Chen family, drums and firecrackers shook the sky. More than 50 descendants, relatives and friends, and neighbors of Chen Yanwu stood under the ancestral tablet of the ancestral ancestral hall to commemorate the legendary achievements of General Jianwei during his lifetime and express their sorrow for the general. It's just that compared with the commemoration of the 70th and 80th anniversaries of the general's birth, there are fewer local officials such as the county government's yamen and Baojia.
Where is Chen Yanwu? How many official residences? Why was he canonized by the emperor? Why is it so loved by the people of Chenjiafang? This gentleman is a long story.
On the morning of the 16th day of the first month of 1834, Chen Yang, the wife of Chen Beiba in the upper back room of Chenjiafang Village, gave birth to an eight-pound baby. It is said that this baby was pregnant for ten months and ten days in Chen Yang's womb, and when it landed, its whole body was wrapped in a layer of flesh with bright red blood, and in the blink of an eye, it looked like the red sun that had just risen from behind the silver-shaped mountain.
Chen Cupba originally had four sons, and the new son ranked fifth, and Chen Cupba named him Chen Yanwu.
Chen Yanwu is the youngest son in the family, and he has been particularly doted on by his parents since he was a child. When he was seven or eight years old, he was sent to study in a private school, and within three days of study, he was kicked out of the private school by his husband; When he was fourteen years old, his brother taught him to plow and harrow, but he either broke the plough disc or damaged the teeth of the rake, so angry that his brothers simply refused to let him do such farm work. Now that he is eighteen years old, he still keeps the majestic buffalo at home, and does nothing else. Therefore, in the minds of the people of Chenjiafang, Chen Yanwu naturally became a lazy offspring who was idle and did not do his job.
Chen Yanwu likes to herd cattle, especially cattle. At the age of six, he began herding a calf. Despite the fact that he is only six years old, he has his own unique way of herding cattle, and even the older children are far inferior to him. An ordinary little calf was raised by him to be fat and strong, mighty and strong. He often sharpened the two horns of the ox to sharpen, and from time to time led the ox to fight with other bulls, and won nine out of ten, and gradually this ox became the king of the ox in Chenjiafang. The mother is more expensive than the son, the baby is proud of the cow, and Chen Yanwu has also become the king of the cow herding baby in Chenjiafang. Bad things spread thousands of miles, and good things also go out. Soon, the ox raised by Chen Yanwu became the prince charming who bred cows in Chenjiafang and surrounding villages, and from time to time someone led the cow to breed. According to the market price, the scalper will be charged 500 wen for each breeding. At first, most of the money for breeding cattle was collected by his parents. Later, when he grew up and became sensible, he thought of a way to keep the money for the breeding of cattle for himself. For those cattle owners who gave the breeding money to his parents, he tried his best to prevent the cattle from breeding, and for the cattle owners who gave him the breeding money, he took the initiative to lead the cattle to breed. Over time, those who asked to breed the cow no longer had anyone to give money to his parents. A few small money, the quantity is limited, the son will accept it as soon as he receives it, Chen Beiba and his wife open their eyes and close their eyes, and they didn't say anything about him as if they were fine.
When Chen Yan was fifty-five years old, Chen Beiba sold the cow and bought a new buffalo. Selling his beloved scalper, Chen Yanwu was sad for a while. It was more than three months before he fell in love with the buffalo he bought. Compared with the buffalo, the buffalo is taller, the horns are more curved, and there is always a majestic appearance when it walks to the side of people, which makes people frightened. Especially when it comes to fighting, it is even more tense and exciting, and it can even be described as miserable and terrifying. Therefore, Chen Yanwu has never dared to lead it to fight with other buffaloes, he is afraid that he will fight other people's cattle and make a lot of trouble. In this way, he is much more relaxed than when he was herding cattle in the past. Soon, this buffalo also became the main choice of many cattle owners on the farm to breed their cows. With the gradual increase in the number of cattle owners who asked to breed their cows, and the multiplication of breeding fees, Chen Yanwu gradually eliminated the unhappiness of selling the cattle in his heart.
After the age of eighteen, Chen Yanwu's interest in cattle breeding was not only limited to collecting a few breeding money, but also cared more about the indescribable and unclear feeling that cattle breeding had caused him, which made people excited, exciting and yearning. He wished that someone would bring a cow to breed every day, and that he could have this feeling of excitement and excitement every day.
On the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Jisi of Chenjiashan suddenly brought a cow half a body taller than the bull he raised and asked for breeding. Faced with a cow taller than himself, his free-range bull failed to match it after two attempts, and he roared angrily until the third attempt. It took nearly half an hour before and after this breeding, and Chen Yanwu touched the scene, and he was also excited and stimulated for half an hour.
After experiencing a long period of excitement and excitement during the day, at night, Chen Yanwu had an inexplicable dream, dreaming that his bed was missing and there was no place to sleep, so he shouted: "Who demolished my bed?" ”
Suddenly, his sister-in-law came over with a smile and said, "Brother, I made you dismantle your bed." ”
"Sister-in-law, why are you tearing down my bed? So where do I sleep? ”
"Brother, you can sleep with me!"
Hearing that his sister-in-law said that he wanted him to sleep with her, Chen Yanwu felt happy in his heart. But he still said, "You are my sister-in-law, how can I sleep with my sister-in-law!" No way! No way! My eldest brother knows that it's strange if he doesn't kill me! ”
"Brother, what two people do, you don't say, I don't wow, except God knows, you know and I know, who else knows?"
Chen Yanwu hesitated. Go, the little brother-in-law sleeps with the eldest sister-in-law, what if it reaches the ears of the eldest brother? Don't go, my sister-in-law took the initiative to signal, it's really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I'm very eager for it! Wouldn't it be a pity that the fat that was delivered to her mouth was let slip away in vain?
The sister-in-law saw Chen Yanwu hesitating, and said again: "Brother, don't you think the sister-in-law is not good-looking?" ”
"No, no, my sister-in-law is very good-looking."
"Where is it pretty?"
"His hair is black, his skin is delicate, his eyes are watery, and his body is well......-proportioned," Chen Yanwu said.
"Since your sister-in-law is so good-looking, don't you want to sleep with your sister-in-law?"
"I want to think about it! I'm just afraid of ......."
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth! Your eldest brother was digging coal in the Yuan'an Coal Mine, 60 miles away, and he would have come back three or four times a year. Besides, since he was injured in the mine the year before last, he came back for nothing, and he couldn't do that at all. ”
"Ahh What? You say the eldest brother is crippled in this regard? Useless? ”
"Could it be that my sister-in-law will still tell lies? Brother, you are also eighteen years old, not young! People are tall and big, and they have already done a lot of things! Sister-in-law begs you, okay? After speaking, the sister-in-law suddenly withdrew from the thin clothes. Suddenly, the pair of plump and elastic jade rabbits jumped out. Chen Yanwu saw something he had never seen before, and his heart was "dingdong...... Ding Dong" was stunned. Yes! It turns out that the sister-in-law's pair of jade rabbits are so big and so white!
Looking at the tall and undulating jade rabbit of the sister-in-law, Chen Yanwu was like a bull in estrus, rushed up and hugged the sister-in-law into his arms, hugged and kissed him tightly.
"Brother, don't stand, tired. Let's go to bed! ”
The oil lamp flickered and flickered, the light was faint, Chen Yanwu gasped and stared straight at the plump jade body of the sister-in-law, only to see the pair of jade rabbits of the sister-in-law like two buns that had just come out of the cage, standing tall on the white chest. He stretched out his right hand and carefully kneaded it, which felt as soft as a ball of freshly fermented dough; The uneven triangle, a pile of fluff, black and thick, he probed with his fingers, wet......
Suddenly, there was a swelling pain in his lower abdomen, and the little brother twitched involuntarily. Immediately, a huge torrent rushed open the floodgates that had been closed for eighteen years. He woke up suddenly.
Yes! It turned out to be a spring dream. He reached out and touched his thigh, which was sticky and wet. Yes! "Running a horse", the cropper called this phenomenon walking, this is the first time in his life.
Since this spring dream, Chen Yanwuyi met his sister-in-law, as if he had changed a person, first with a red face and incoherent speech, and then stared intently at the pair of tits on his sister-in-law's chest. The sister-in-law didn't pay much attention to it at first, but over time, she found out what this little brother-in-law did to her. When the sister-in-law found out, not only did she not blame him, but she smiled in return, and sometimes even provoked him with affectionate eyes. Chen Yanwu saw her sister-in-law looking back at her eyes like this, and felt that she had a "play" to sing.
With a woman's intuition, the sister-in-law naturally understands that this eighteen-year-old brother-in-law, who is burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide head and a wide face, likes herself, and is very happy. In later days, she gave more care to Chen Yanwu. Sometimes he even hinted at Chen Yanwu with body language: Brother, what to see, take out the guts to "go up"! Sister-in-law, I'm waiting for you to come!
It's not that Chen Yanwu doesn't want to "go up", but he has never found the opportunity to "go up". During the day, the family comes and goes, not a place to "go up", and at night, the sister-in-law sleeps with her son, which is also inconvenient to "go up". It seems that there is only a chance to go out into the wild to find a chance to "get on".
An autumn rain flooded the earth, and the weather suddenly became cooler. Those sweet potato seedlings that had been moistened by the autumn rain suddenly grew wildly. In order to curb the wild growth of potato seedlings and ensure the yield of sweet potatoes in the current year, croppers generally carry out a second doubling of potato seedlings in early autumn.
One day at breakfast, his father Chen Cupba was eating breakfast and instructed Chen Yanwu to go to Daoshitang Chongli to double the potato seedlings with his sister-in-law after breakfast. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. The sister-in-law and Chen Yanwu were overjoyed and excited after hearing this.
Daoshi Tangchong is located in the south of Chenjiafang Village, three miles away from the village. On both sides of the chong are all camellia mountains, and the middle is soil. The whole Chong is more than a mile away. The soil of Chen Yanwu's family is located at the very top of Tuchong. On the road, Chen Yanwu walked in front, and sister-in-law walked behind, talking and laughing like a loving couple.
"Sister-in-law, have you ever dreamed?" Chen Yanwu asked.
"I've done it, I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night. Everyone has dreams. The sister-in-law replied sincerely.
"Have you ever dreamed of me?"
