Chapter 7: Get Married!

There is no way. In front of these elders, his younger generation has no human rights. In the end, I had no choice. When I went down to the kang and put on my shoes, I had to hold a shovel. Now I'm going to dig the spring hole.

In the end, the eighth master slapped the table and set the tone with his mouth that there was only one tooth left to stick to his post: "Yang Xu is the biggest cultural person in our village, and we watched him grow up." No one can pit our own family! ”

This moved Lao Wang very much, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed to the eighth master three times. He secretly swore: Eighth Master, when we make money, I will give you full teeth and big gold teeth.

When the eighth master said this, the others only nodded. On the north side of the river, the old man's words were better than the manager's.

Just when the food and wine were ready, everyone began to drink lively. Lao Wang also put forward his plan for three watches in the middle of the night last night: to set up an agricultural supermarket in Grizzly Bear Village, and everyone will go to a well-off life together.

"Supermarkets have been wiped out for decades, how can they come back alive? You can't eat side dishes. "Now even the eighth master doesn't support it. He was afraid to eat side dishes.

After all, the manager uncle kept up with the times, explained to everyone, and his superiors also strongly appealed to him. However, for such a large-scale event, it is better to hold a meeting of the villagers. After all, it concerns every family.

Grizzly Village is a small village, and now there are fewer than 50 people left due to the impact of working in the city. It is also simple to hold a village meeting. The manager stood in front of the village chief and shouted to finish the job.

The meeting will be held at 9 a.m. the following day. The place is a clearing in the village. When the autumn harvest comes, it will be used on site. It's flat and neat. Thousands of people can sit down, not to mention more than 300 villagers.

Early in the morning, Lao Wang came to the scene early. Today, he is the leading actor. However, there are people who predate him. A circle of people gathered under the village chief's big elm tree, and shouts of "jumping horses" and "firing guns" were heard in the distance. When I walked to the front, I saw that it was Li Da who understood that he was playing chess with someone else.

This month is the farming season, and the old elm tree at the entrance of the village is also a favorite gathering place for the villagers after lunch. This old elm tree is said to be hundreds of years old. Anyway, it's been growing here since the grizzly swallow. It is lush and sheltered from generation to generation, and its symbolism is extraordinary.

Lao Wang squeezed up and took a look, it was basically two rotten chess baskets, so he lacked interest. The same performance is Xiaobai. After squeezing through the crack, he reached out his little paw to touch the piece. Li Daming smashed his paw with a cigarette pouch can. Xiaobai screamed and protested twice. Seeing that no one was paying attention, the restless fellow climbed the old elm tree and swinged again.

With a creak, a dead branch landed on the board. Li Daming raised his head and shouted, "Oh, you monkey, are you trying to make trouble in heaven and then slide down." If you damage that old elm tree, believe it or not, peel off your skin. ”

Because this old elm tree was in a privileged position in the eyes of the villagers, everyone shouted at each other. Xiaobai had no choice but to get down from the tree angrily and stick out his tongue at Li Daming.

Li Da understood that he turned his attention to the chessboard, and victory was in sight. He happily took out his own small cigarette pouch and cigarette pouch and asked someone to help him pack the cigarettes. The so-called tobacco pouch is a small cloth bag containing tobacco leaves, which is easy to use.

Xiaobai reacted quickly. He picked up his cigarette pouch and got to work. Then he flattered Lee and handed it to him,

He also struck a match and helped light it. Da Ming touched its monkey head with satisfaction and praised: "The Tibetan mastiff is very popular. It's really insightful. It's better than my grandson - general, look where your old general is going! ”

After that, he took a few puffs of his cigarette and smiled as he waited for his opponent to throw in the towel. But the more you slap your mouth, the more unpleasant it becomes. Even the people around you who are watching the excitement are fanning their noses: "I see, is your tobacco damp?" ”

"My tobacco is the best in the village. When I grow tobacco, I ferment the bean cake to make a base fertilizer, which smells very sweet. Li Daming was still blowing, but the smoke was so bad that everyone frowned.

He also felt that something was wrong. He tapped the cigarette pouch pot on the sole of his shoe twice, and the smoke fell to the ground. The lower half is still burning before it burns. It's broken and rough and doesn't look like tobacco.

"Tibetan mastiff, what did you wear for me?" Li Da had a bad feeling in his heart.

Bai bared his teeth at him, and then pulled an oval object from the dead branch with his claws. The surface is smooth and is a horse manure egg. Then look at what comes out of the snuffer. This is not horse manure.

"I'm going to kill you, monkey!" I know it's urgent. I picked up my cigarette bottle and ran to Xiaobai. Everyone else laughed and said, "This Tibetan mastiff is so bad!"

How smart Xiaobai is. He jumped into a tree two or three times. Li Da was very angry, he knew that he had jumped under the tree and had to keep dodging the dead branches that fell from the tree. Everyone around him laughed, pointed and poked at the excitement: this is not a monkey trick, this is a monkey trick.

Something seemed wrong - the old king came under the old elm tree, patted the trunk, and made a loud noise in the air. Everyone can see that the heart of the tree is empty. No wonder the dead branches fell just now.

If you take a closer look, the problem is even more serious. During the month, the grass and trees have sprouted, and the trees in the distance are a little green, but the old elm trees have not sprouted at all.

"The tree is dead!" A little baby shouted. It's impossible. Babies love to tell the truth. As a result, his grandmother slapped him hard in the ass and made him cry. I usually can't bear to fight with this little ancestor, but the old elm tree is the ancestor in the hearts of the whole village!

In some villages in the countryside, we pay special attention to this, especially some old trees, which have spirituality in the eyes of the people. So when many children in the family are always sick, they usually recognize the big tree as their godmother. The red cloth tied to the old elm tree has an old nose.

Just now, it was a joyous scene, but now it has become a lifeless scene. Even those little dolls who play with cats and tigers all day long are not afraid to breathe. They also seem to be aware that something is going on.

"It's over, it's over, old man. You will never bless us north of the Yangtze River again. The eighth master stumbled under the tree, patted the trunk with his hand, and tears came out of his eyes. The whole person seems to be ten years old all of a sudden.

There was a sobbing sound around, and everyone's heart was empty, just as it felt when someone closest to them left them.

Yang Xu's heart was also full of sadness. The old elm tree left him with too many childhood memories: the elm money produced by the old elm tree is the largest and sweetest, and it is sweet when rolled up and stuffed into the mouth; Childhood friends play hide-and-seek around the big elm tree, reconcile. Put. The army catches the prisoners together

More and more people are gathering. At the end of the day, almost everyone in Jiangbei, young and old, was present, sad and depressed.

"Huh-hu-lu-" A deep voice suddenly sounded, as if it was coming from the ground, low, long, continuous.

Looking around, it was Yang Rui from the north of the Yangtze River. His face was red and his neck was thick. He was snoring. I don't know who he learned it from. It sounds a bit like the Mongolian language of Khoomai.

Speaking of this Yang Rui, he is really pitiful. He's in his forties now. It wasn't originally north of the Yangtze River, and I don't know who I called, but it is said that when I was young, I was in motion. In the midst of chaos. I was stimulated to watch the game, I wasn't that crazy and running around. After wandering to the north of the Yangtze River, the people in the village were very kind. The host gave a bowl of corn stubble, while the west gave a piece of sticky cake. Yang Rui also knew what was good and what was bad, so he stayed in the village.

Later, after the reform and opening up, he also allocated a lot of land, and everyone helped with breeding. For so many years, Yang Rui and Yang Rui have been calling him that, and because most people in Jiangbei have the surname Yang Rui.

"Yang Rui, don't make strange noises!" Yang Xu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. At this juncture when everyone is not in a good mood, if Yang Rui continues to make trouble, he may have to be kicked.

"Who the fuck wants to sing? Who the fuck is crying? "The manager scolded several times.

Yang Rui was very obedient, he stopped shouting, stretched out his shiny sleeves, rubbed hard twice under his nose, and then howled: "Madam, you go to the southwest, follow my flat shoulder to the southwest." The southwest road was wide and wide, and it was loaded with money as soon as it went—"

It can make people angry. Uncle Manager rushed at him like a black devil, took off the soles of his shoes, and whipped him without face or ass, which made Yang Rui hurry.

But who made him read the funeral? These words were all used by the filial son to show the way to the deceased when the old lady died. Yang Rui didn't know when to learn. On today's occasion, it is not to send the big elm tree to the end. If he hadn't cut him, it would have been fine.

Although the withering, senescence, disease and death of vegetation are natural and inevitable, the results are naturally different due to the peculiarities of this great elm tree.

"Don't fight, Yang Rui doesn't understand what's going on." Lao Wang grabbed the manager and asked him again: "Uncle manager, do you think this person is coming soon?" Do you still have meetings? ”

"Fart!" The manager shouted: "If the old elm tree dies, Jiangbei will also be destroyed." ”

Yes, most of the people present thought so. They were panicked and in no mood.

This is a big deal - Lao Wang Kaba looked at his little eyes and suddenly said, "Uncle Manager, I have learned a lot of skills outside. I could see the big trees. I could almost save the old elm. ”

When the people around heard it, their eyes lit up, which made Lao Wang feel as if he was being stared at by a group of hungry wolves.

"Yang Xu, if I can save that old elm tree, let alone open a supermarket, I will give you the position of manager immediately!" The manager was like grasping the last straw and holding Lao Wang's shoulder.

"I'll try, but I'm not sure if I can do it." Lao Wang also felt that Alexander, if we did not solve the problem of the old elm, the supermarket seemed hopeless.

His greatest hope is Xiaobai, and he hopes that his monkey urine can work miracles. But if you don't do anything, I'm afraid it's easy to arouse suspicion, so I walked around the old elm tree a few times and told everyone to go to work. According to him, the old elm tree was short of water. If you pour 180 buckets of well water, tomorrow it may sprout.

Everyone thought about it: last winter, there was a lot of snowfall, and a lot of snow melted. It has rained again in the last two days. It should not be dry. However, since there is hope, there is power. As a result, each household sends a labor force to carry water along the well. Due to the abundant reserves of well water in the northern part of the Yangtze River, otherwise it would have been washed away.

See if there's anything wrong with him. Lao Wang also walked around the house. Many people have mixed eyes during the day, so he definitely won't let Xiaobai pee. He can only do this on his back when it is dark.

The family of three walked back and heard someone humming behind them. Looking back, Yang Rui followed behind with a smile. Lao Wang retorted a few words, but he was not angry. Then, Lan Lan tugged on Lao Wang's lapel and looked at the little guy with a pair of foggy eyes. It was clear that she sympathized with him. She took pity on Yang Rui, so she sighed and asked Yang Rui to follow them home.

At the door of the house, the old man moaned to Yang Rui, but he probably didn't like him. Lan Lan hugged Xiao Hei's big furry neck for a while, and then Xiao Hei returned to the tiger's den angrily.

"Yang Rui, change your clothes and take a shower." Yang Xu boiled a large pot of water and rubbed Yang Rui like a pig. Lan Lan and Xiaobai are also helping. However, Yang Rui didn't know how many years he hadn't taken a bath, and the old mud on his body was expected to catch up with the armor. He doesn't bleed with a knife.

In the end, Xiaobai is very smart. He picked up half a brick from the yard, dipped it in water, and rubbed it on Yang Rui's body, splashing black mud soup.

After changing the water three times, Yang Rui was finally clean, not to mention that when his red skin recovered, he was whiter than Lao Wang.

Lao Wang found him a clean dress to put on, Lan Lan helped Yang Ruichi comb his long hair, tie a ponytail at the back, and look up and down. It's like changing a person. It makes the woman laugh, sweeter than eating honey.

Even Lao Wang said: "Yang Rui, you are very artistic in doing this." If you wear big sunglasses, you will be trusted by a big singer. ”

Not to mention, Yang Rui sang in the highest note: "Xi-Xi-" This guy likes to sing all day long.

Stop, I hurriedly washed the pot and cooked, washed, washed - Lao Wang was also infected, and moaned while wiping the pot in the kitchen while twisting his ass --

When it was time to eat, Yang Rui ate three bowls of rice alone. In the end, he pulled the empty bowl in front of Yang Xu and asked Lao Wang to confiscate it: "I'm poor enough now, can you still endure eating big families."

As for Yang Rui, he still can't go. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he directly lay on the kang and began to snore. In rural areas, people who sleep when they are full are called "pigs' heads". Never mind. Increasing the number of family members is also a sign of population prosperity. Lao Wang comforted himself a few words in his heart, and then let him stay alone. Seeing Lan Lan's posture, it was obvious that he was very sorry for Yang Rui and didn't want the little fat uncle to push him out of the door.

After going to bed in the middle of the night, the fat man shook Xiaobai and said, "Get up and work, hurry up, don't be confused-"

Xiaobai stood up in a daze, hugged Xiao Ding Ding to urinate in the urinal, but was carried back by the fat man: It all depends on the baby, bear with it first.

After the noise, Yang Rui woke up, happily put on his shoes, and went down to the ground. It's hard for Chubby to kick him out.

"Isn't that a burden? Yang Rui, you have to stop. Don't make a sound. The fat man said to him for a long time. But as soon as he left the house, he saw the moon hanging high outside, and Yang Rui hummed: "Take a step inside, the crescent moon is in the east." ”

Tell me the whole story of the night of the new moon, right? The fat man quickly covered his mouth. In this way, Xiao Hei opened the road in front of the village. A large family went in and out and made a beeline for the village. The big family is really harmonious and fights together for everything.

From a distance, I could see the big white and bright elm tree. Oh my God, it's surrounded by dirt for tens of meters. The water inside has not yet penetrated. It is estimated that the villagers have been working all day.

The old man and the young man tried hard enough - the fat man said "hey" in his heart, and then he felt the shadow flicker in front of him, and then the low growl of the little black rang out.

Who Lao Wang carried a flashlight with him, flashed along the black shadow, and only saw a shining red figure disappearing behind the tree, just like the red leopard. How did he always meet this person?

Hear about the big families in the village. Old. The tiger also began to cry, and Lao Wang hurriedly drank Xiao Hei: "It's very important to do business, not to mention the fire leopard."

Nearby, there was a chest on the ground with a series of offerings, including a chicken, a bowl of wine, and even a large pig's head. The villagers seem to be praying for the resurrection of the Great Elm Tree.

No wonder that leopard is here. I dare to hear that after Lao Wang understood, he took Xiaobai to collect on the big elm tree - except for mud and water, he didn't want the Tibetan mastiff to become a mud monkey.

Go to the tree and hug Xiaobai. As soon as he hissed twice, he heard a loud bang. Xiaobai couldn't help it. Urination is also pleasant. If it can't bring the old elm back to life, the old king will have no choice.

Nonsense - after completing the task, Lao Wang quickly withdrew. It's a good thing, but it's like a thief.

When the group came home, Lan Lan walked into the room and turned on the light. Lao Wang found a washbasin to wash his feet. As soon as he turned around, he was so frightened to see a pigman standing behind him, and his mouth was still making a loud noise.

Looking up again, the clothes looked a little familiar. Lao Wang stretched out his hands to grab the pig's head, and Yang Rui's smiling white face appeared behind him. He still hummed: "There is a pig's head in the human body, and Zhu Bajie had a big fight in Gao Laozhuang." There is a pig's head in the human body, which is the son of Zhu Bajie, Xiao Krona. ”

"Yang Rui, you almost scared me to death. Come on, take it back now and enjoy it. Lao Wang saw that the pig's head was clean and said, so he washed it twice with water, then split it in two and threw it into the pot.

After boiling, he filled the stove with two pieces of wood. The small fire slowly gurgled and gurgled slowly, and Lao Wang plunged into the kang. If he stays overnight, it will be delicious tomorrow morning.

He slept soundly here, but Yang Rui and Xiaobai were lured by the smell to fall asleep and stayed by the pot for half a night.
