Chapter 008: The road is uneven

Although he couldn't hear clearly, he saw it carefully.

The sloppy boy's surname is Qiao, his name is Qiao Hu, his nickname is Er Laizi, and he is about the same age as Yakzi.

Erlaizi's father Qiao Wanfu is nicknamed Qiao Horn, his mother's surname is Yu, and his nickname is Yu Meiren.

Qiao Horn and Yu Meiren have been mixing in the drama troupe with their parents since they were children.

Joe's horn had a stuttering problem, so he changed to blowing the trumpet when he couldn't sing.

Yu Meiren not only grows longer and more charming, but also sings better and better.

It is said that Yu Meiren was reluctant to marry Qiao Horn, all because her parents' fate was difficult to disobey, and she married Qiao Horn at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to a second son in the next year.

Later, Yu Meiren and the two turned partners Bai Shusheng and hooked up with each other, so angry that Qiao Horn left the troupe and returned to his hometown in Wanbaotun with Erlaizi.

From then on, Joe's horn was discouraged and depressed.

Er Laizi lacked discipline since he was a child, and developed the bad habit of not learning and not knowing, relying on his face, being lazy to eat, and stealing chickens and dogs.

The villagers of Xingfutun have been pitiful since childhood, and no one has the same knowledge as him.

Unexpectedly, the eldest Laizi not only did not change his bad habits, but also often harassed the handsome big girls and little daughters-in-law in the tunzi.

Joe Horn has the heart to discipline his son, but he can't. You can't beat him, and scolding him doesn't work at all.

Er Laizi claims to be not afraid of the earth in Happiness Tun, the second and the third in the world, in fact, he also has two people who are afraid in his heart.

One is the old captain Wang Kui, who is afraid that the old captain will gather the militia to tie him up and criticize him; The second is the yak, he is afraid that the yak will be angry and beat him severely if he catches him.

Sure enough, he deserved to be unlucky today, and let the yak bump into him again.

Er Laizi is still blocking Xiaomei and the children's way to school.

Seeing this scene, he was angry, and he was just about to walk over to teach Er Laizi a lesson, when he suddenly had an idea and called over to the big yellow dog.

Yakzi pointed in the direction of Er Laizi and instructed Da Huang: "Big Rhubarb, go and get rid of that bastard of Er Laizi for me!" ”

Rhubarb looked in the direction of the finger of the yak, and immediately understood what the master meant, only to see Rhubarb screaming wildly, and rushed out with an arrow step.

Er Laizi saw the big yellow dog running from afar, and he knew that it was not good, so he ran away, but he was still caught by the big rhubarb.

Rhubarb went up and grabbed Erlaizi's big crotch pants.

Er Laizi struggled to break free, Rhubarb just bit and didn't let go, three times and two times Er Laizi was thrown down by Rhubarb, not to mention, and his pants were torn off mercilessly.

The shabby Er Laizi didn't wear a pair of pants, he bare his buttocks, he was dragged by Rhubarb, he couldn't run, how embarrassed he was.

Xiaomei's face was flushed with shame, and the children laughed loudly, and then happily followed Xiaomei to school.

The dog is very popular, and Teacher Xiaomei led the children away, and it also opened its mouth, but barked at the second Laizi who was rolling and crawling, and did not embarrass him anymore.

He watched from afar, and couldn't hold back a smile in his heart. When Rhubarb turned around, he waved his hand to Rhubarb, and Rhubarb quickly ran back and handed over to his master.

Yakzi was very satisfied with Rhubarb's performance, made intimacy with Rhubarb, and then, casually, took Rhubarb home with him.

The house of the yak leans on the east and west north side of the Xingfu Tun cross road, and the third household is counted from Tunxi.

The house of the Yakzi family is two thatched houses with low backdrops against the hillside.

The two thatched houses are old, with the back gable inward and the front gable sloping outward.

The thatched house's wooden doors were slitted, and the old-fashioned dilapidated wooden lattice window lattice, which opened up and down, was pasted with a thick layer of window paper, but fortunately it was the spring season, and all the upper windows were opened with sheep's hoof hooks.

This thatched house, from the outside, only the large white slogan on the wall buttress can make people feel refreshed.

The house was dark, and there were rat holes all around the corners, and rats were often infested both day and night.

The thatched outhouse has a large twelve-seal iron pot and a water tank, plus a two-tiered wooden shelf.

Pots and pots are placed on the shelves, and dishes and chopsticks are placed under the shelves, which are covered by a sack piece.

The walls of the inner room of the house are covered with brown paper, and the north and south sides are covered with earthen kang with wooden edges.

In addition to an old-fashioned antique kang cabinet with needles and threads, there are only a few dilapidated bedding on the earthen kang.

This house was left behind by Grandpa Yakzi.

It turned out that when Grandpa Yanzi was alive, there was a He family compound in Dongshan, and there was a large area of fertile land, as well as reservoirs and orchards.

However, the grandfather raised a loser son, who was the eldest uncle of the yak, who was pampered since he was a child, grew up eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and was also addicted to drugs and smoked big cigarettes.

Within a few years, the family property made the eldest uncle ruined, the land, reservoirs and orchards were sold, and the He family's compound was pawned to the Jin family's big landlord, and it was never redeemed.

In desperation, Yakzi's grandfather relied on the little remaining family resources to build these two thatched houses.

Later, the eldest uncle disappeared, saying that he was dead, two aunts got married, and grandparents also died a few years ago, and this thatched house was left to his parents and siblings.

The world is unpredictable, and the so-called Saion loses his horse and knows whether it is a blessing.

After the liberation of Northeast China, in 1948, there was a land reform here, because the family was already as poor as ordinary farmers, so they were fortunate to be classified as poor peasants.

His father, He Yaozu, and his mother, Li Guixiang, have two sons and two daughters.

Brother He Baizhan is introverted, honest and honest, and everyone in Tunli calls him Da Han; sister He Baichun, married to a farmer in a foreign country; My sister He Baiqiu, who has been insane since she was eighteen years old, suffered from mental illness, and had a seizure, three or two people can't take care of it.

He Baiqiu's younger sister has been sick and bad, and she is a big girl in her early twenties, and no one dares to marry. She is the eldest in the family, and every day, her mother often barely cares over her face with tears.

That's it, the family is crammed into these two grass houses, Nankang is the parents, and the night is separated by a curtain.

When the four Beikang brothers and sisters were young, they were also men and women huddled together.

Later, when the elder sister of the yakzi got married and the younger sister grew up, a partition wall was built in the middle of the north kang to separate the brother and sister.

The thatched houses are particularly cold in winter, and the walls are covered with thick frost; Summer is so hot that people can't breathe when they sleep at night.

After all, it is very inconvenient for his parents, brother and sister to live in the same house, so he has already moved out of this house, ran to the production team club, and lived on the big kang of the production team club with the old urchin Zhou Yunfa.

After all, the production team is not my home, but I can't live in such a house.

He dreamed of living in a new house, but it was not easy to build a new house, or it was simply impossible.

First of all, there is no money, and every family relies on the labor of the production team to earn work points, and the income is calculated according to the work points at the end of the year.

Most families have many children, and after deducting the rations, not only do they not see a penny all year round, but they even owe dozens of yuan to the production team.

The pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese laid by the members of the society who have worked hard to raise them must also be handed over to the state, and in exchange for a little money, it is only enough to buy lamp oil and matches.

It is already a luxury for children to be able to buy a few red head ropes, pink silk and a pair of woolen socks for the Chinese New Year.

Besides, the matter of building a house is what the people's commune says, and if the production brigade does not declare and the people's commune does not approve it, the members and ordinary people will have no choice.

The soil, sand and gravel are all collective, and the wood used to build the house is managed by the forestry station.

Not only that, the time of the members is uniformly controlled by the production team, and no one can engage in specialization no matter which household it is.

All the members can do is not let the house fall down.

Every summer, when the hoes are hanging and the farmers are slack, each household begins to smear the grass and mud the walls.

A thatched house like the Yakzi house with a collapsed foundation and sloping front and back walls must be supported in spring, otherwise, a gust of wind and a heavy rain may destroy the house.

Getting back to the point, let's say that Rhubarb led the way in front, and the yak walked into his yard.

At this time, in the courtyard, the father and brother of the yak were wearing patched and shabby clothes and trousers, rummaging through broken wood and old planks, preparing to support the walls of the house.

He Yaozu, the father of the yak, is nicknamed Da Stubborn, fifty-six or seventeen years old, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, with a shaved head, a beard, and a small cigarette pouch, looking old-fashioned and old-fashioned, with the style of being a father.

When the big stubborn man saw that he had come back, he didn't have a good face, so he said without blame: "How high has the sun climbed?" You just got back, you can't get up a little early, don't you know what work is at home? Hurry up and support the house with your eldest brother, if it is not supported, it will fall, and it will sleep in the open air. ”

He glanced at his majestic father and said, "It's time to go to work, and I'll pay it when I come back from work." ”

He knew that his house had gone through a cold winter, and the thick frost inside the house had melted, and the outer walls had gone through several spring rains, and not only the walls inside and outside the house had fallen off seriously, but also the front buttresses on both sides of the doors and windows showed signs of collapse.

The big stubborn man glared at the yak, and went to work first with a pipe in his mouth.

He turned out two shovels, one for his brother Dahan, and the other carried himself out of the door.

Da Han walked into the house to wash his hands, and his mother Li Huifang came out of the back room, took out a nest head of cornmeal mixed with acorn flour from the cauldron and handed it to Da Han.

"He hasn't eaten breakfast yet, you can bring it to him."

"Hmm."

Dahan agreed, took the head of the nest, put it in his pocket, and hurriedly walked out.
