Chapter 5 Adjusting insomnia
After eating, Yan Zixiu helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked his mother: "Mother, how many carrots and sweet potatoes do we have at home?" ”
"The carrots are about five or six hundred catties, and the sweet potatoes are five or six thousand catties, all of which are in the West House."
"Do you think tonight's carrots and sweet potatoes are delicious?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious. What's going on? ”
Yan Zixiu smiled: "When washing carrots and sweet potatoes, I used a high-tech bioregulator developed by my teacher. ”
"You teachers who teach agriculture, and you still have this ability?"
When Yan Zixiu heard this, the master became a teacher of agriculture again. He mumbled and said, "Fruits and vegetables improved with bioregulators are not only delicious, but also have great benefits for the body. I'll adjust a batch of carrots and sweet potatoes tonight, and I'll go to the market early tomorrow morning, and I'm sure they'll sell well. ”
The mother said, "Don't you have to peel corn at night?" You're just fine, don't get tired. ”
Yan Zixiu: "You don't have to stay up late to peel corn. Won't you pull the thresher back tomorrow morning? As long as you are willing to lend the thresher to everyone, you don't have to worry about no one to help. It is estimated that all the corn will be taken off in one afternoon. ”
"Okay. You also go to bed early. Mother closed the door and the door of the hall and went to rest.
Yan Zixiu came to the Westinghouse with a kerosene lamp and uncovered the plastic sheeting covering carrots and sweet potatoes: "Don't worry, sprinkle the spiritual liquid." After the worry-free sprinkling, Yan Zixiu found a dozen sacks, half of which were half bags of carrots and sweet potatoes. The carrots were packed with about 100 catties, and the sweet potatoes were packed with 2 or 300 catties.
Worry-free asked: "Why do you pretend to be so little?" ”
Yan Zixiu complained bitterly: "Brother worry-free, I can't pull it if there are more." I was just in good health, and I was walking to pull a cart, four or five miles from the market. ”
"You're not used to using the Qiankun ring. However, there are many people in the bazaar, and you can't use the Qiankun ring all the time, it's not good to be too shocking. Then you can't pull it, you can use animals to pull it. ”
"Who's with it? I don't have it at home. My uncle's house has a donkey to the west. He is very stingy, how can he be willing to borrow? ”
"Why do you want to borrow, can't you just take the money and rent it?"
Yan Zixiu patted his head: "Oh, I'm used to being poor, and I want to do everything by myself." Yes, I have money, 10,000 yuan. If you don't use him in vain, my uncle will definitely be willing. ”
Carefree smiled: "You don't know how rich you are now, and you can't imagine how rich you will be in the future." ”
Yan Zixiu also smiled: "Haha, please allow me to slowly adapt to the life of a Monopoly man." ”
Uncle Ciming is next to the Yan family, with three main rooms, a kitchen to the east, and a livestock shed. Between the kitchen and the main house, there is a passageway, which is connected to the Yan family.
Yan Zixiu walked through the aisle: "Uncle, are you busy drinking tea?" (Country vernacular, no meaning for dinner)
"Drink it. Zixiu, are you back? "My uncle is 40 years old, very handsome, and is working in the barn. The eldest concubine also came out of the kitchen: "Zixiu is back?" "The eldest concubine is not tall, with a chubby figure and an ordinary appearance. At that time, because he was poor, his uncle couldn't afford to go to school and couldn't read, so it was not easy to talk about the media. So I had to marry a big concubine. It is said that after meeting for the first time on a blind date, the uncle hugged his head and cried, probably because he felt that his handsomeness had been lost. However, although the eldest concubine is poor, she is very kind, she doesn't care about things, and she is poor and generous. Sometimes the uncle scolded her in a bad mood, and even beat her, but she smiled and didn't care.
"I'm back. Uncle, I'll discuss something for you. Tomorrow morning, I would like to borrow your donkey, one to go to the market to sell something, and the other to bring back a few corn threshers. ”
"Borrow a donkey?" Uncle hesitated.
Yan Zixiu smiled in his heart and said, "It's not just borrowing, it's helping a friend, and the friend is willing to give money, twenty yuan a morning." "In fact, ten yuan is a lot, and Yan Zixiu only earns three or four yuan a day.
The uncle rubbed his hands: "There is nothing outside, what money do you give." ”
The eldest concubine also said: "That's it, what kind of money to give." Unexpectedly, the uncle glanced at her. The eldest concubine was silent. Yan Zixiu knew that the eldest concubine really didn't want money, but the uncle was fake and polite, and he was afraid that the fake would come true.
Yan Zixiu took out his wallet, took out two large solidarities, and handed them to his uncle: "People are real, uncle, you take it first." ”
The uncle quickly took the money: "Don't worry, I will feed the donkey early tomorrow morning without delay." ”
"Good. Uncle, concubine, rest up. I went back. ”
Yan Zixiu returned to the West House and loaded another hundred catties of carrots and two or three hundred catties of sweet potatoes, all of which were loaded onto the cart. Then he took the kerosene lamp to the east house of the east courtyard, which was where he lived.
There are four main houses in the east courtyard, two on the east side are for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and two on the west side are for the elder sister. My sister just got married, and the house is still for her. The two east houses on the east side, the one on the south side is the spare kitchen, and the one on the north side is where Yan Zixiu and his second brother live, anyway, they are all bachelors at the moment, so it doesn't matter. However, the eldest brother, sister-in-law and second brother are not at home, and each has its own job. Therefore, in the entire East Courtyard, Yan Zixiu is alone today.
The wick of the kerosene lamp shines a yellowish-white light through the glass cover. Yan Zixiu sat at the desk in the east room, full of thoughts. What happened today, it's incredible. Is it true? Is it magical? If it's true, how is that possible? Let's call it an illusion, there are so many real changes. Do you want to verify it in the Immortal Mansion again? He thought about it for a while, and thought that it was better to sleep, and he had to get up early tomorrow.
He doesn't want to stay up late now, because he has Xianfu and confidence. In addition to the unavoidable work and study need to stay up late, other meaningless stay up late is a manifestation of lack of confidence in tomorrow.
Blowing out the kerosene lamp, Yan Zixiu took off his clothes and lay on the bed, feeling his heart fluctuating and not sleepy. You won't have insomnia again, will you? Over the years, he has experienced insomnia. At this time, Wu Wu said: "You are now overexcited by the nervous system, and Chinese medicine says that qi and blood float up, and yang does not enter yin." ”
"What then?"
"That's it. You start by gently focusing on the soles of your feet. I'll tell you what's next in a moment. ”
"Okay." Yan Zixiu gently focused on the center of his feet, and when his thoughts ran, he pulled it back again, and then ran and pulled it back. …… After a while, a carefree voice came: "Now focus on the abdomen, as you breathe, the abdomen will naturally rise and fall, gently follow this undulation." Yan Zixiu did as he was told, feeling that there were fewer and fewer distractions, his body and mind were becoming more and more relaxed, and he was becoming more and more empty......
"Ge Zhigen......" A rooster crowing sounded, and Yan Zixiu opened his eyes: "Ah, it's dawn." As soon as you close your eyes and open your eyes, the night will pass? It was a very comfortable night's sleep. He looked at his watch, and at half past six, he quickly got up, got dressed, picked up the toiletries and went to the pressurized water well, put down the utensils, and went to the kitchen to get a spoonful of water, poured it into the pressurized water well and began to press the water with a snort. This spoonful of water is called diversion water. Without water diversion, groundwater is not easily pressed up.
Mother had already gotten up and was sweeping the yard. Yan Zixiu washed his face and asked, "Mother, how was your rest last night?" ”
"It's very good. It's been a long time since I've slept like this. ”
"Me too, it's been a long time since I've had a good night's sleep like this."
As he was talking, the uncle led the donkey from the aisle: "Zixiu, get up?" ”
"Uncle, morning."
"You wash your face first, I'll put the car on it."
"I'm done." Yan Zixiu went over to flatten the cart, so that the donkey was easy to trap.
The mother asked, "Would you like to eat something first?" "In rural areas, it is common to work for a while before having breakfast, and in rural primary schools, we go to school in the early morning and then come back for breakfast. Yan Zixiu's home is four miles away from the primary school, and he thinks that he traveled six times a day in the morning, noon and afternoon, and he didn't see the sun at both ends, and he walked tens of thousands of miles just to go to the elementary school.
"No, I'll just go to the market and buy two baked cakes." Yan Zixiu found another fruit knife, took an enamel plate used to hold vegetables, filled a thermos of cold water, and put it in the car. He said to his uncle, "Uncle, you also borrow my scales." ”
"Okay." After a while, the uncle brought the scales and led the donkey to pull the cart to the road outside the yard, "You have to take care of the donkey." ”
"Don't worry. Uncle, how do you sell carrots and sweet potatoes now? ”
"Carrots are five cents, sweet potatoes are three cents."
"Okay, got it, I'm leaving."
Lao Wanji is in the west of Xinliang Village, and there are four and a half miles of land. There is a set on a single day in the lunar calendar, and the ninth, nineteenth, and twenty-ninth of the lunar calendar meet. Set is from morning to after breakfast. Yes, from morning to after lunch.
Yan Zixiu was afraid that there would be no good place to come late, so he didn't chat with Wuwu all the way, and hurried away. When I arrived at the east end of Lao Wanji, I saw that it was still too late. Good guys, people everywhere. Looking at this situation, I can't get in. There was no way, so I found a vacant place at the east end of Jidong, found a dozen bricks to pad the front and back of the frame car, and untied the donkey to the tree next to it. Then open the mouth of the sack and expose the carrots and sweet potatoes. The thing moistened by the spiritual fluid has a complete and smooth skin, which is quite good-looking. He washed the enamel plate and the fruit knife with water again, washed a carrot and a sweet potato, cut it into small pieces, and laid them on the plate, red and white, and the water was bright. When everything was ready, he began to shout: "Delicious carrots, delicious sweet potatoes, fresh and sweet, taste first and then buy, the opportunity is rare." ”
shouted a few times, and most of the passers-by looked at it, but they didn't stop. Yan Zixiu wondered in his heart, every word of mine is the truth, why didn't anyone come. I shouted a few more times, but still no one came. He understood a little in his heart, no wonder everyone set up stalls in the market. At the entrance of the village, those who didn't buy things were in a hurry to enter, and those who bought good things were in a hurry to leave, and the inertia of the action was too great to stop.
Carefree appeared and said, "I'll help you shout." Hey, delicious carrots, delicious sweet potatoes, fresh and sweet, taste first and then buy, it's a rare opportunity. ”
It didn't matter if it was a shout, almost everyone looked at it, and there was a bird shouting, which was really rare. People who have never seen a parrot ask each other, what kind of bird is this, it is so beautiful. Hula, a large crowd gathered around. Yan Zixiu was startled, and asked in his heart: "How can everyone see you and hear you?" ”
"I want people to see and hear, and I can see and hear."
Yan Zixiu gave Wuwu a thumbs up: "Please continue to perform." ”
