Chapter 19: The Mother of Love
The reunion of mother and son after parting is naturally a thousand words that cannot describe the pain in their hearts.
Da Kui said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, let's go home." Come, I'll carry you. Da Kui said, turning and crouching down. The mother did not shirk, and gently lay on Da Kui's back, and Da Kui carried his mother and walked slowly home. While walking Dakui, he asked, "How has my mother been doing in the past few years?"
The mother said, "No matter how hard it is, it's okay for my son to come back." After saying that, he laughed.
Da Kui carried his mother and said, "My mother also said that it's okay, you have lost weight." ”
Mother smiled: "What's the matter, they all say that it's hard to buy old and thin with money, hehe." "The son returned, and Da Kui's mother was full of joy.
The mother and son chatted while walking, and arrived home in a blink of an eye. Entering his yard, Da Kui gently placed his mother on the ground.
Da Kui's mother smiled: "You wait, my mother will give you pancakes to eat at night!" After speaking, he happily went to the East House kitchen.
Da Kui followed behind him and said, "Mother, you rest, or I'll come." ”
The mother smiled and said, "Where can you cook, a young man, go to the back room to rest." As he spoke, he took off a cloth bag from the wall and said, "You wait at home, and my mother will go and borrow some white noodles from the owner." ”
Da Kui's family is a tenant in the village, and the land planted by the landlord Wang Laocai's family is 50% rent.
Da Kui looked around the room and said, "Mother doesn't need pancakes, I can eat anything." As soon as she turned around, her mother had already hurried out of the door.
Da Kui smiled and said to himself: "It's better to be my mother!" said that he walked to the grain tank in the corner and opened the lid to see that there was only half a pot of sweet potatoes in the grain tank, and there was a basket of wild vegetables on the ground next to the grain tank. Looking around again, he couldn't find a single grain, Da Kui went to the back room to take a look, but the house had not changed, it was still the same old furniture.
Da Kui searched the other two houses, but he couldn't find a single grain.
Da Kui couldn't help but mutter: 'What has my mother eaten at home for the past five years?' Da Kui rummaged through his mother's house, and finally found a small bag wrapped in cloth on the side of the pillow, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a corn tortilla that had been gnawed a few bites.
Seeing this tortilla, Da Kui couldn't help but be shocked, and held back his tears to wrap the tortilla in his arms, thinking to himself: 'How can this be, I left thirty taels of silver for my mother before leaving'.
Half an hour later, my mother returned. I carried a small half-bag of noodles in my hand, and it seemed that it was up to three catties. Da Kui endured the pain in his heart and did not say a word, just stood in the courtyard, and did not enter the back room until his mother called him to eat. A familiar small table was placed on the kang, and in the dustpan on the table were six sheets of flour, and next to it was a large bowl of noodle soup.
The mother wiped her hand on her body and said, "Son, eat while it's hot." ”
Da Kui lowered his head and asked, "Mother, yours?"
The mother smiled and said, "Silly child, my mother had already eaten when you didn't come home." ”
Da Kui took out a tortilla and put it on the table and asked, "Mother, you eat this at home?" Didn't you leave forty taels of silver when I left home? ”
The mother laughed and scolded: "What a stupid child, those silver mothers are thinking about telling you about their daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Da Kui couldn't hold back any longer, knelt on the ground with a 'poof', hugged his mother's legs and cried loudly: "Mother, why are you so stupid." ”
The mother also cried and said: "The money was exchanged for my son's life, how can my mother be willing to spend it." At this time, Da Kui was crying and couldn't speak, so his mother had to wipe away her tears and couldn't stop persuading: "Okay, okay, son, get up quickly." Let's eat. ”
It took a long time for Da Kui to hold back his crying, and he stood up and helped his mother to sit down on the edge of the kang. Da Kui picked up a piece of bread and handed it to his mother's mouth,
The mother smiled: "This child, my mother doesn't eat it." ”
Da Kui held the bread in both hands, knelt on the ground again and raised the bread above his head and said, "If the mother does not eat it, the child will not get up." ”
The mother scolded with a smile: "Why can't you grow up this child, I said that my mother is not hungry, get up quickly." "Speaking of pulling Da Kui, Da Kui is now a strong man with five big and three thick, and he deliberately knelt on the ground, where can his mother pull it?
The mother couldn't help it, so she had to take the cake and take a small bite, and Da Kui said, "Finish eating." His mother glared at him and smiled and continued to eat.
Da Kui said again: "Drink soup." "My mother was forced by Da Kui to finish two cakes and drink a few mouthfuls of noodle soup.
Da Kui got up and said, "Mother, the child won't leave when he comes back this time." I still have a few taels of silver on my body, you can use it first, and tomorrow when I go into the mountains to chop wood, I will give you some wild things and come back. ”
Mother smiled, "It's not so easy to hunt, look at what you said." ”
Da Kui said triumphantly: "You don't care about this, the child has his own way." As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the kang and began to eat and drink.
The mother watched her son laugh all the time, and Da Kui asked puzzledly, "Mother, what are you laughing at?"
The mother smiled: "My son has not changed at all, he is still the same as the eater." "That night, my mother asked long and short questions. Da Kui was afraid that his mother would be sad, so he only said that the journey was smooth. How the master and the brothers take care of themselves on the mountain, everything else is mentioned in one sentence, and this is the first time Da Kui has lied. After chatting until midnight, Da Kui persuaded his mother to go to bed and return to his room.
At dawn on the second day, as soon as Da Kui left the door, he saw sparrows chirping in the trees outside the door. Without saying a word, he picked up the stones on the ground and flew out with shaking hands. Every shot must be hit, and it will be hit more than 20 times before stopping. I went out with a rope and picked up the sparrows on the ground. Tie it into a string and put it in front of my mother's window, and said through the window: "Mother, I beat a few house thieves." You bake and eat first, and I will go into the city to buy grain, rice, oil, and salt, and then I will go back. As he spoke, he picked up the side of the door, took off the rope on the courtyard wall, and went out.
Da Kui walked out of the village and saw that there was no one in the morning. Dae-kyu rushed in the direction of Jeju City, and the five-mile road was reached in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the city gate was opened, Da Kui entered the city to find a grain and rice shop to open the door, and the man muttered sleepily: "I am in a hurry to be reincarnated so early." ”
Da Kui laughed with him: "I'm really sorry, I disturbed your good dreams." I'm here to buy rice and noodles. ”
The guy asked slowly, "How many pounds do you want?"
Da Kui said: "Let's come with 200 catties each." ”
The man almost fell to the ground, who bought so much rice and grain at once in these chaotic years? The man looked out the door again, and there were no pedestrians and no cars and horses on the street. I couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "How do you want so much rice?"
Da Kui smiled: "I have my own way to do this." ”
The guy pointed to the bag of marijuana on the wall on the right and said, "Where is the rice, just a hundred catties of a bag." He pointed to the big bag of cloth on the left wall and said, "Where is the noodles, it is also a bag of 100 catties." Take it yourself. He yawned.
Da Kui asked, "How much is it?"
The guy walked into the counter and took out the abacus and fiddled with it a few times and said, "A total of three strings and twenty wen." Da Kui took out a tael of silver and paid the bill.
When the guy was looking for money, Da Kui shook off the rope in his hand and put it on the ground. Walk over, a bag of rice in one hand, turn around, put a bag on the left and a bag on the right. When I went to the bread pile, I also brought a bag of noodles in one hand, and put a bag of noodles on each of the two bags of rice. He tied it with a rope and stood up with a flat pole.
Dude is stupid, these rice grains are a total of 400 catties, and this man in front of him is so strong.
It must be known that Da Kui is on Tiantai Mountain, carrying 300 catties of iron sand every day, and each hand carrying 100 catties of stone locks can still walk like flying in the mountains, and this mere 400 catties of rice grain is not a problem.
