He's already a big guy. — but nostalgia prompted him to walk slowly around a low, three-room dilapidated house. Lo and behold—his shapely slender torso and broad shoulders showed that he was physically strong and could withstand hard beatings. The face is purple sauce-colored, square-shaped, thick eyebrows, jet-black, the outer end is upturned, the eyes are round, and under the plump eyelashes flash a flash similar to pure steel: dazzling, but cold, there are many small bags on the face, the pimples are not round, and the square is a small convex ridge. When he touched the door frame with his hand and smiled triumphantly, his face was still bright, and he could show his confidence and intelligence. He is the famous Chen Dafa in the suburbs, because he is proficient in bricklayer work, he can build three or four thousand bricks a day, and people call him "Chen Dasho".

Chen Dachan has moved into a new home, but he still cherishes the old house – even though it is owned by his ex-wife. The house is indeed very dilapidated: it is narrow, and the distance between the front and rear doors is not enough for a nimble young man to leap; Let's say it's short, you can touch the roof with your hand - this is touching on the ground, if you have to bend your waist on the kang, you won't touch your head; It is said that the simplicity is none other than those small windows, which were pasted with paper before, and then changed slightly, pressing a few small pieces of glass, which is not fashionable or foreign, and the more chilling roof is pressed with alkali mud, and it always leaks in the rainy season - the outside is big, the house is small, the outside is not down, and the house is still ticking; The walls around it are made of pebbles and yellow mud, and they have cracked over time, like a child's mouth. The house was stuffy like a steamer in the summer, and the cool breeze was always swishing in the winter, and it was like an ice storehouse—this was the only inheritance that his grandfather left to his father, and his father left him, and it was also a testimony to his poverty.

Things are always contradictory, whenever Chen Dasho sees this house or thinks of it...... I got goosebumps on my body, but I still loved it - I left countless fond memories and reveries from my childhood...... Chen Dasho's memory is very good, and he still clearly remembers the scene of his mother's return here five years ago......

She had tuberculosis, and she was lying on her back on the kang with a large stack of pillows behind her back, and her hands were as thin as wood, gray and shaking. Suddenly, she was conscious, her hands were no longer shaking, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be purified, becoming delicate and radiant. She pulled him with one hand and the woman with the other, not loud but clear, anxiously instructed: "Son, your daughter-in-law is at ease, and you are smart and excessive, and you are obedient...... I just saw the judge in front of Lord Yama, and he said that people can't do things that lack virtue...... We can't be poor! She pleaded with her son again, "Do you swear?" Mother's ......"

He knelt in front of his mother, thinking of his mother's, urinating and pulling his hard work, and thinking of the love she gave...... Tears blurred his eyes: "I swear, mother!" ”

She nodded. Turned his head and looked at his daughter-in-law again, and then touched the heads of the two grandchildren beside him, closed his eyes, and with a relieved look, his head drooped, and he left.

At that time, the house was so quiet, no one thought of crying, but the youngest son saw that his parents were stupid, felt scared, and cried "wow", which aroused everyone's sad and painful thoughts......

Chen Dasho's feelings for his mother are sincere, but he doesn't believe his mother's frightening words - he didn't believe it then, and he doesn't believe it now, he thinks that it is just the patient's irrationality and nonsense. Since the death of the old lady, he began to take care of the farmland, and when he was idle, he went out with a big shovel to earn a few pocket money; Later, the policy came alive, and he simply threw his home to a woman and went out with a shovel to fight the world.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, at first, Chen Dasho had to tie up with the "contractor" of the infrastructure construction team...... But relying on his intelligence and studiousness, his willingness to endure hardships, and the good work he gradually practiced, he gradually liked the "contractor", and later became the right-hand man of the contractor. After a long time, he listened a lot, saw a lot, and handled a lot of things, and entered the door for social affairs. All have great benefits...... At the same time, it was also found that the position of this "contract foreman" was a fat shortage......

After that, Chen Dasho did a few things that only he knew, and he rose to the top, and now he is the shopkeeper and has started "remote control". Money? In addition to the expenses inside and outside the home, there is a fraction of the net 90,000 left.

The rich have a strong waist, and the rich envy them. It didn't take long for Chen Dasho to enjoy himself: first, he wanted to change houses...... Secondly, I want to change my daughter-in-law. Of course, at the beginning, his feelings for his daughter-in-law were still deep, and he was a poor couple. His woman already has a two-point appearance, plus the sets of wool he bought, those ones, as soon as he dresses up, he likes it and is satisfied. But I can't help the love of the "yellow flower girl" in the suburbs, such as Jiao Lina, who is going to marry him in three days - she is ten years younger than him, and she is twenty-three years old. What fascinated him even more was that her "Sachiko head" had short black hair, a thin willow-like waist, small teeth as white as jade, her bulging breasts moving like a rabbit, her little cheeks twisted and twisted, and the two corners of her gorgeous little lips always had that charming smile floating on her face, which was really fascinating! After passing the eyes, he still pestered him vigorously. He couldn't eat anymore, and then he found out that his wife had shortcomings: big belly and thick waist...... There is also a lack of soul-destroying tenderness in the earth. So, he directly proposed to his woman: divorce - the child is raised at the age of eighteen, and you reach sixty, the three old houses belong to you, and the money is paid off. His woman didn't agree at first, tried her best to influence him, and even coaxed him by the things in the nest, but he didn't even touch it, he didn't even touch it - his hard work was in vain! He thought about it for a while: As the saying goes, if you can't tie up a husband and wife, you can continue to break the strings, and it is the most difficult to stay in your heart. Strike, strike, strike! He agreed to divorce on the grounds of "emotional incompatibility" - picked up his things, locked the old house, and took the two children back to his parents' house. Two months ago, some people said that she was married to an honest offspring near her mother's house, and her life was not bad.

He-Chen Dasho walked around the old house for a while, and also tugged on the lock on the door, feeling strong, he reluctantly said goodbye to it, turned around and walked towards the new house. On the way, he met Xiao Li of the infrastructure construction team, and he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Thanks to your old Hongfu, the infrastructure team is still thriving." Xiao Li replied respectfully.

"Oh, oh, good! Will you go back tomorrow? ”

"Go back, you're always in trouble?"

"The day after tomorrow, I got married. You put Lao Zhang, the king...... Called! It's okay for other people to come, but forget about the work. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Li hunched his waist and agreed with a smile.

Chen Dasho said goodbye to Xiao Li, and thought of the charming Jiao Lina in his heart, if it wasn't for the wide house, or if it wasn't for the high-end wedding supplies...... She had already thrown herself into her arms. It doesn't matter, are you afraid of being late for a good meal? People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and he just feels that the time is not long, so he came to the new house......

The new house is not far from the road, not a building - Chen Dasho doesn't like that, but the foundation is almost as high as a two-story building, and it is a cement guide bungalow. Although it is a bungalow, it looks unique from a distance, the decoration is magnificent, and it is not conventional, so it shows a unique style and shows a quiet and elegant state. Up close, the bungalows are towering, with large doors, large windows, and large glass; Spacious, comfortable and well-lit; The front face of the bungalow is made of terrazzo, five-color tiles, and marble, which is gorgeous! Five steps away from the windowsill there are two iron railings on the left and right - color, sky blue, and bright. Leaning on the pole, looking down at the neighbors, looking up can see the urban buildings - really open! The courtyard is also large, surrounded by a flower wall built with red bricks more than one person high, and the silver-white iron gate of the gatehouse is very wide, wide enough for the "duck bus" car he just bought to enter and exit. There are living room, lounge, bedroom, kitchen...... Home furnishings: combination cabinets, sofas...... Household appliances include: color TV with remote control, washing machine with double cylinder drying, refrigerator with double door is five flowers, chandelier is eight claws...... In short, everything is "modern". The villagers call this bungalow a "high-level", like a villa in the West! Yes, Chen Dasho knows this in his heart: maybe the mayor has no more senior than himself except for the car. Chen Dachan also understood in his heart that this bungalow and its items did not have 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, but he only spent less than 30,000 yuan, why? This is "chicks don't pee, there is always a way"! Like what kind of steel, cement, wood, labor still cost money? If the flower is also symbolic, the curved fingers can be counted, and it hides people's ears. Just based on this Chen Dasho, I feel that I have made the right catch, and it is beautiful enough for a lifetime.

Chen Dasho arrived at home, looked at this, touched that, and rejoiced; Thinking about it three days later, I will be able to spend the candles in the cave with Jiao Lina, and my heart will be even sweeter - it is like getting into the beehive and drinking half of the honey.

The wedding took place as scheduled. There were not many people who came, there were 60 or 70 people, most of them were fox friends and "related households", and there were very few people in the village. However, the children didn't care about those things, they came in groups to join in the fun, and he-Chen Dasho asked a young man to give them candy in the courtyard, one pack per person. The bride - Jiao Lina is in the limelight today, since she entered the door at ten o'clock, she went against the old customs, left aside the "incense" guests who sent off her relatives, did not sit on the "kang head", and went to the various rooms with a smile on her face - to pay tribute to the guests who attended their weddings. The VIPs did not show weakness, brides, brides...... Calling a dear, the greedy gaze is like a sharp blade, as if it wants to devour her alive. This can't be too complaining about the "VIPs" not being gentle, but can only complain that Lina is too delicately dressed. And voila – the newly permed big wavy curls are shiny! also inserted a red flower and a golden hairpin, wandering one by one, with a unique charm; The duck egg round face is embellished with red, the eyebrows above the danfeng eyes are black and bright, and the cherry mouth is red and gorgeous...... One laugh without talking, two laughs and two dimples. The upper body is wearing a small red jacket with purple saffron, and the lower body is wearing coffee-colored woolen pants, the trouser line is straight, fast as a knife, and the foot is an arrow-type brown leather shoe, bright as a mirror and as bright as jade, with gold on the head and silver on the wrist...... Walking and shaking, the smell of perfume splashes!

If she is dressed like this, is it not just "wearing a number of township taxes"? In terms of beauty, she is just like a "fox fairy" who came down to earth.

Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk. Chen Dasho watched Jiao Lina be graceful, smiling smartly, and her round eyes were so drunk that there was only one slit left...... Bird's nest, fish bones, sea cucumbers, abalone, big wine, and big meat were served, and "Hello brothers, two horses...... "Drink five or six for a day." Chen Da Shovel - but there is no ambiguity at all, the wine is at most three taels, and the rest is all in the handkerchief, why? Keep your energy in the evening...... And those VIPs were almost drunk by Chen Dasho, and were helped away in the evening. After everyone left, the door of the two little two was sold, and the door was closed, and they both entered the bedroom, where the gorgeous eight-clawed chandelier was lit, red like the red wine on the feast just now, no, like blood!

The bride, Jiao Lina, is really capable: Simmons' bed has been laid early, and the electric mattress in the quilt has long been connected. Everything is in place, only the east wind is owed. The two looked at each other knowingly, grinned lewdly, and quickly took off their stripes and swished into the hot bed. This was followed by crazy kisses, crazy touches...... They felt so happy, and they were not at all as scared and thief-like trysts as they had been the first time. After the clouds and rain, you look at me, I look at you, and they smile lewdly, and they are satisfied. One is beautiful and the other is rich, so can you not be satisfied? Tossed for a day, just ...... They were indeed tired, so they took the plan they had already planned - three days later, they went to Jiao Lina's house to dip in wine, and traveled around Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou...... The beautiful travel plan, embraced and went to sleep.

Suddenly, around dawn, Jiao Lina felt something on her neck in her sleep: cool, still squirming. She instinctively thought of what it was, and her frightened hairs stood on end—shouting, snake, hand dragging snake, and quickly sat up in fear. She shouted, and he—Chen Dasho also screamed, not frightened, but screaming in pain. The two of them woke up, and when they looked at the light, they were horrified to find that he—Chen Dasho had a round tumor under his neck during the night—was not an exaggeration at all, it was two feet long, and the color was red, like the red tie he wore at his wedding yesterday. Jiao Lina hurriedly crawled to the corner of the bed, shrunk into a small ball, shivering all over, not crying, and looking straight at the "snake" with her eyes. Chen Dasho was also afraid, he was worthy of being a man, put on a dress, hurriedly walked to the dressing mirror and took a photo, not a snake, not a tie - although it can be used as a tie, it can almost be fake, but sick! He was also overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of this inexplicable illness.

It's a disease, and it can be cured eventually. The two of them finally got rid of their fears, came to their senses, and discussed the secrecy of the matter for now. After dipping in alcohol, it will be treated, anyway, it doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt or itch now. Sleep? Sleep separately, the house has it anyway. He wanted to sleep with her, but she didn't, she was afraid of the scary snake, and as for going back to her mother's house to dip in wine, don't really tie that thing as a tie, and when it was cold, put a big hair scarf around her neck to cover people's eyes and ears - and so they spent three days on their honeymoon.

After returning from visiting his mother-in-law, Chen Dachan came to the city hospital alone, spent three yuan, and hung a professor-level prestigious number, looked at the symptoms, asked about the onset of the disease, and even these professors and celebrities were dumbfounded. Rare medical records, one professor said, "unique in the world." "The professors paid great attention to it, took a film, tested the blood, and because he was not in pain, they now told him to go home, wait for the treatment plan to be developed, and immediately notify him to be hospitalized.

Who knows, as soon as Chen Dasho arrived home, his condition deteriorated: the color changed from red to purple, like pig liver, and it hurt - a pain that didn't hurt for a while, no pain like a good person, a pain was urgent, and he was sweating. Or Jiao Lina has great powers, and she heard that there are "Li Dashen" and "He Xiangu" in the neighboring mountains...... Specializes in the treatment of intractable diseases. If you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, the little couple will toss it - it is purely a blind toss, the money is spent, but the illness has not been alleviated at all. The work efficiency of the city hospital is also quite high, and the professors sent a letter and opened it to read: "The illness is special...... Please also be smart. As soon as the medical road was broken, his pain worsened, and after a few days of work, Chen Dasho was already sick and haggard, and he was judged to be two people. In the midst of pain, Chen Dasho suddenly remembered his mother's dying entrustment of "doing immoral things, and a tumor will grow on his neck". Remorseful to the extreme, he ran alone to the grave of his mother in the back mountain, "Mom, Mom" howled loudly, tears flowed like rain, sad as if his mother had just entered the ground, crying and crying, and I don't know when I fell asleep......

After a gust of wind, Chen Dasho felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw that it was his mother standing there, so he hurriedly got up, crying and begging: "Mom, have mercy on me...... Save your child's life! His mother wiped a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes, sighed, and said, "Who told you to be disobedient!" Chen Dasho burst into tears, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged bitterly, so she pointed out the maze: "You bring more money to see the crippled Zhang Bao foreman and the nest of orphans and widows left by Li Erzhu...... Then you go back to Shanghai Union Medical College Hospital and find Professor Zhang, who is Hua Tuo Regeneration...... Remember, it's important to keep to yourself, and people are not exhausted! With that, the wind rose again, and the old lady was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Dasho woke up in surprise, it turned out to be Nan Ke's dream, but his mother's words were clearly remembered, and this time, he believed it all.

The next day, Chen Dasho put a woolen scarf around his neck, followed his mother's instructions, and went to the house of the foreman Zhang Bao with money. Just in time for their lunch, there were corn tortillas, cabbage soup, and a plate of pickled radish strips on the table—a meal that didn't match the more spacious bakery of the foreman. Chen Dasho knew in his heart that the source of money was cut off, so how could he do it if he didn't eat it. Old friends probe each other, although the foreman Zhang Bao can't get off the ground, he is nervous and quite enthusiastic. Chen Dasho talked with him for a while, the time was not long, and he refused to eat, threw down two thousand yuan and left, and the foreman Zhang Bao bowed gratefully on the kang: "Thank you, thank you...... Old friends are so friendly! He felt very uncomfortable, and a scene from three years ago came to his mind.

At that time, the foreman Zhang Bao was physically strong, his top boss, and he was his right-hand man and confidant. One day, it is to build the three-story building for Eryun, and it is time to have lunch, and the foreman Zhang Bao said that he would go up to check the quality of the plaster, and Party A would come to check it in the afternoon, so as not to find any fault. When he accompanied him from the building to a unit on the third floor, he came from the interior to the balcony, and wanted to step on the tripod made of pine poles - one end had been dismantled, the other end had not been dismantled, and he had just led someone to do it, how could he not know. At this critical moment, his anxious words swirled in his throat: "That danger, will step on the air!" But at this moment, a sinful thought flashed into his mind: "He fell to his death, won't this contractor team belong to ......me" For a moment, before he shouted, Zhang Baogong's head and feet were empty, and he didn't grasp a pole in his hand, and fell straight down - he broke his leg and broke his comminuted fracture, as well as five ribs, and is still crippled at home.

Chen Dasho looked at Li Erzhu's family again. Li Erzhu was killed by a falling brick during the construction of a building, and he, Chen Dasho, was only hastily buried and gave less than 1,000 yuan for the funeral expenses, and he alone swallowed 20,000 yuan in that construction. Li Erzhu's house is very dilapidated, as cool as Chen Dasho's old house, the two children are wearing broken shoes, their toes can't cover it, it's so cold, the little feet are black and red, the woman's face is haggard, her hair is scattered and covers half of her face, and her clothes are mended in several places...... Chen Dasho looked at it, his heart was sour, he took out 1,500 yuan, put it on the kang, and said to the woman: "This money is borrowed from Li Erzhu...... Of course, the woman was in the dark, but she was grateful, and gave him a ride after a ride, saying: "When a person dies, he still comes to repay his debts, and it is a good thing for you to make ...... Good retribution! Chen Dasho couldn't laugh or cry when she said it. The face was red, purple, and white...... Like a lamp that changes color. Look at Zhao Hongwei - Chen Dasho's peer. Two years ago, he negotiated a construction project and purchased a mixer and an earth crane...... Ready to get on the horse, but he ...... Chen Dasho inserted a foot in it - on the oil and water, overnight, Party A nitpickled changed the hexagram, and asked Chen Dasho - he is a clever master, this time it can be bitter Zhao Hongwei, small business, thin foundation, and do not understand the true scriptures of work, how to get up "accompanied by the wife, and the soldiers", since then it has been sluggish, and has to plug the "hole"...... Chen Dasho threw another thousand yuan.

Chen Dasho ran non-stop for four or five days, and finally finished visiting, he didn't feel tired, but felt that the pain of the tumor in his neck was reduced.

After a day of rest, he took money and took Jiaolina to Shanghai Union Medical College Hospital by steamer. "Admitted to the hospital one by one. After injections, medicine, anti-inflammatory, and pain relief, Chen Dasho was pushed into the operating room by the nurse seven days later. Jiao Lina was in a hurry outside the operating room, and in less than twenty minutes, Chen Dasho was pushed out by the nurse. He was conscious, and shouted happily at Jiao Lina: "Professor Zhang is really Hua Tuo's rebirth!" Three times five divided by two, my tumor was cut off, and I didn't feel any pain. Chen Dachan stayed in the hospital for another 10 days, and the wound healed, but it formed a scar the size of an egg.

Chen Dasho and Jiao Lina were very happy, and after two days of playing in Shanghai, they rushed home in a hurry, and only slept for one night, and the next morning, the Public Security Bureau came to interrogate Chen Dasho...... Three days later, the procuratorate made a decision to exempt from prosecution, but all property was confiscated and returned to the public on the grounds of tax evasion and cutting corners...... Enforceable by the judiciary.

Jiao Lina, who is a water-based poplar, saw the glory and wealth at first sight, but now she has become a passing cloud, and she doesn't care about her reluctance with Chen Dasho, she stomped her feet and divorced.

Chen Dasho knew in his heart that the public security organs had not found out about the bribery, and if he found out, he would have to squat on the fence. Jiao Lina left, and the high-level house could not be lived, so Chen Dasho asked someone to discuss with his ex-wife and temporarily borrowed the old house to live. According to the person who worked for Chen Dachan, it took him a lot of words before Chen Dachan's ex-wife agreed, but there were conditions: the residence period was one year, and the rent was 20 yuan per month. Chen Dasho, who had no way out, could not agree, nor did he choose a day, carrying the big shovel that beat the world, and moved back to the three broken houses - not to mention the broken house, the kang has not lived for a long time, and the dust is lined. He looked at the sour in his heart, he thought of his wife, children, Jiaolina, and the house...... Empty, empty, empty! He thought of his mother again, and regretted that he shouldn't have ...... So, he threw himself on the kang, howling in pain, a handful of snot, a handful of tears, and a sad look, like his tumor, I am afraid that there is no second copy in the world.

At first, the children came to see the excitement, but then Chen Dasho kept crying, and there was nothing new, and the strange and boring ones dispersed - but he was still crying there.

No one sympathizes with Chen Dasho. The villagers all said: The bubbles on his feet were crushed by himself, unlucky, and deserved!

Who can blame?
