18 The dogs lay eggs
Although the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are becoming more and more onerous now, fortunately, Shangguan is still sympathetic to the people's feelings, and the past few years have been full of good years, and each family has some surplus food, and it is not a problem to feed a few mouths waiting to be fed.
The cool pond is full of water, and after the rain, it looks like a delicate beauty. A few half-sized children plunged into the water, splashing, and the eyes of the five or six-year-old children on the side lit up.
Qin Chuan is only twelve now, but he has become the head of the child in this crooked jujube village, who calls him the most noisy, and he has the most ghost ideas, and every time he causes trouble, he can always settle it with a clever mouth.
Xu was tired of jubilation, several people went ashore, shook off the water stains on their ears and heads, and the naked upper body taught the squint-eyed girl on the side to exclaim. Everyone laughed a few times and didn't care.
"Hey, look at the tail in my hand, there are two catties to say the least. Now, the old man in the family can't say that he has been idle all day, hehe. The black strong man of the same age as Qin Chuan wiped his nose, laughed twice, and looked at the grass carp in his hand, his eyes lit up.
Several people stood up straight, each with a harvest, took a palm-sized bluestone to stun the fish, carried it in his arms, threw his clothes on his shoulders, saw that it was not early, and sang a song that made people blush, swaggering home.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Qin Chuan deliberately slowed down, elbowed, and poked Da Zhuang who fell at the end of the team with a bitter face.
Why is everyone happy, but the only family is worried?
At a glance, everyone was fully loaded, and only Da Zhuang returned empty-handed, so he naturally couldn't be happy.
"Catch it! Our old Qin family has a small amount of food, and these two fish can't be eaten, so I'll give you this tail!"
Xu is crawling and rolling for a long time, and his skills are much more flexible than usual, and it is not surprising to touch the two tails, and he gave the slightly smaller carp crutch to Da Zhuang, and walked two steps quickly, wanting to keep up with the big army.
"I forgot to say, this fish is not given for nothing, my grandfather has long wanted to taste the old wine locked in the cellar of your house, Ming'er, remember to hit two taels!"
Qin Chuan was about to leave, but when he thought about it, it didn't taste right, so he temporarily got up, turned his head and glanced at Da Zhuang, who didn't know what color it was, and secretly said that it was really the case, so he had this proposal.
"Brother Chuan, don't worry, you don't have to do it tomorrow, today's account will be settled today. ”
A teenager of this age is the most sensitive, even if the villagers in this crooked jujube village are the most sincere, they have no heart, and they still can't tolerate others giving alms for no reason.
"There are fish!haha!" Da Zhuang howled twice, like a victorious general on the battlefield, dragging Qin Chuan into the village with a smoke.
By the time the two of them stood still, they were already panting.
"You... Why are you running in such a hurry?" Qin Chuan put the fish aside lightly and sat down, his hair that had been combed and was messy with sweat stains.
Da Zhuang was already weak, solemnly put the fish in a palm-sized puddle beside him, and lay on the ground with a pale face, no longer moving, not speaking, just panting vigorously.
Take two puffs of cool air and exhale a breath of hot air. It's unbearable to describe, but it seems that there is starlight hidden in the sky, and I don't know if it's for the fish or what.
Da Zhuang's surname is Xu, and he is not from this crooked jujube village.
It is said that he was born prematurely, and his mother returned to heaven due to difficult childbirth, and he was born a weak person.
The Xu family was originally a wealthy family in Ruyang County, but in order to renew Da Zhuang's life, they sold the restaurant, ancestral property, and ancestral house, and finally settled down in Crooked Zao Village.
His ancestors once got the fairy fate of Qingshan Immortal Sect, Xu is God's mercy, it happened that an immortal passed by, remembering the past kindness, and pointed out a clear path for the father and son, which is this crooked jujube village.
This small village is really the land of Zhong Ling. A few common medicinal herbs in Na Lang cured the old mange.
Even so, the two did not dare to leave this crooked jujube village, and relied on some old books to buy three acres of land, and lived a peaceful and stable life.
Maybe Xu's father is also an infatuated lover, but he hasn't seen a wife for more than ten years.
In the end, he is a person who has seen the world, Xu's father has been admitted to Xiucai since he was a child, and he is known as a good name in the crooked jujube village in his belly. I don't know how many girls secretly threw silk handkerchiefs, and they were all hung on the dead bamboo branches of the bamboo forest next to the village.
After so many years, no one has retrieved it, and it is not less than half a hundred, and it looks like a mottled butterfly shadow from a distance.
Women are all harmed, even men, every year, there is a faint fragrance wandering in the alleys of the village, even overshadowing the colorful colors of fireworks in the sky.
In other words, there is an endless stream of people asking for wine, and I don't know how many thresholds to change in a day.
However, Xu's father was reluctant to give Huo Huo the thin wine left by his ancestors, Xu was to see things and think about people, or to have another dream of wealth and wealth, who knows?
One day when Xu knew that there would be thieves stealing wine, a half-zhang high earthen wall was built around the Xu family.
But no, there are still fat birds standing on the wall staring, looking at the two people scratching their ears and cheeks under the wall.
Da Zhuang is sincere, but he is not stupid, if he enters through the main gate of the courtyard with such a swagger, he will definitely be discovered, but if he goes in over the wall, according to the situation of the two, I don't know how loud it will be.
"I've thought of a way, Brother Chuan, come with me!" Da Zhuang slapped his head, and a spirit, picked up the half-dead fish and ran to the other side of the courtyard.
Qin Chuan was also puzzled, he was strong and weak, he had always walked slowly, except for some dull and wooden, there was nothing unusual, why did he talk about it today, it wouldn't be a demon who was happy with a fish.
"Look! Brother Chuan!"
Seeing that excitement, Qin Chuan couldn't bear to strike, and his eyes lit up following the place where he was pointing.
"At the beginning of this year, in the spring of this year, the old cow of Zhang Huai's family Xu was in estrus, and a corner was stuck on the wall of our house, and a small piece collapsed!"
At that time, Zhang Huai was frightened, and he thought that the cow had mad cow disease, and he was crying, hiding in the tree hole for fear that he would be injured by the cow if he showed his head. ”
"Haha!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Huai was bold and small, Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing twice, as if he was standing in front of him and watching people shiver and hide.
After the two gags, their faces were straight.
"Don't worry, Brother Chuan! Big and strong with little meat, you can go in with a belt of your pants!"
Da Zhuang is not really tall and strong, but Father Xu always chatters like this, and finally simply gives up his real name, just like Qin Chuan's unborn dog.
Take off your white clothes, take off your carp crutches, and carefully dip into the hole, so that when you dig into the hole, you won't be crushed.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that there was no meat on his body. Da Zhuang is usually the most realistic, although he is silent, but there is always a smile on his black and thin face, which really makes people feel bad.
"Forget it. ”
I can't bear it, this hole in the top of the horn can be leveled, and the yellow mud, water, stones, and straw paste of the earthen wall, the light ones leave mud marks on their bodies, and the heavy ones leave blood marks.
Da Zhuang faced the door to the sky, his upper body slowly poked into the narrow hole, and when he heard the advice, Xu was afraid that he would be worried, so he straightened his breath a little, and said casually: "Don't worry about it! Brother Chuan, I have drilled this hole several times, and I am very familiar with it." ”
The entrance to the cave was completely blocked by him, and the voice on the other end was already buzzing, but Qin Chuan probably knew what he said, so he had to sigh, his eyes soft.
After half a cup of tea, Da Zhuang finally drilled through the hole. poked his head out, disgraced. "The old man of my family shouldn't have noticed it, so I'll go get a pot of wine and wait for a while. ”
"Yes, I know, I'm waiting here. "In the end, it is the child's heart, and if I do a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, I don't have any guilt in my heart.
But it's not a shameful thing, being caught by the neighbors is just a scolding with his ears.
Is there anything in this village that can't be touched? Qin Chuan naturally knows in his heart, and it is naturally okay to make a small fight, so it will not hurt like this.
Saying that the big one is like gold and silver judgment, and the small one is like chickens, ducks, poultry, melons and fruits in the field, Qin Chuan does not dare to touch it at all. Even if you touch the eggs of two widows, you will catch two fat worms the next day and let the chickens have a meal.
Between thoughts, Da Zhuang had already succeeded, and called 'Brother Chuan'er' lightly, and stretched out his hand from the entrance of the cave, carrying half a pot of wine in his hand. The spout of the pot was stained with half a drop of wine, and it was drunk to the hearts of people.
"Hehe, my grandfather will have a good mouth today! See you another day!" thanked him, put the wine in his arms, pondered the name of the wine he had just learned, and his heart was very good.
It turns out that this wine is called Blue Bridge Fengyue, and I will definitely try it for the two old men in the family later!
Full of ambition, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked leisurely on the country dirt road to his home, happened to pass by the widow Tian's house, and saw the old yellow dog with yellow hair and white eyebrows, and the widow Tian leaning on the edge of the door with a cloudy look.
At first glance, I thought that I had changed to a fierce and ugly door god, but it was too late for Qin Chuan to react.
The widow pounced on her and grabbed it, as if she was going to eat herself.
If it were to be left in normal times, Qin Chuan would definitely run, but he was carrying half a pot of wine in his arms, although he closed the mouth of the pot, it would not be beautiful if the wine was spilled.
Who called himself unlucky, he happened to run into the widow of Shangtian, and he happened to be distracted, and he happened to have a treasure in his arms and couldn't run.
Grit your teeth and don't run away!
Although Widow Tian was surprised that Qin Chuan didn't run away today, she couldn't please her hands, and her left ear was red, the pain was unbearable, and her eyes and nose were rubbed together, so it didn't hurt.
"Why didn't you run away today?" the little cub sneaked up on the eggs again. Is it really Tian Lao Niang, am I pinched by soft persimmons?"
In broad daylight, a man and a woman did such an immoral thing, and the villagers on the side, regardless of the big or small, hurriedly found a bench and picked Erlang's legs to eat melon seeds, and entered the play.
The little man is so funny. "Brother Chuan, don't lose your momentum!"
The big man teased like that. "Widow Tian, I'm afraid that Xiao Chuanzi won't be able to eat and walk around today, thirty like a wolf and forty like a tiger, terrifying!"
Ignoring the eyes of the people around her, Widow Tian wanted to take Qin Chuan and rush to Lao Qin's house. "It's hard to catch you today, a monkey, and see if I don't clean you up!"
"Actually, I'm not touching eggs. Aunt Tian, listen to me, I thought the egg was laid by a dog!"
The old yellow dog next to him barked shortly, as if he was dissatisfied, kicked his legs, and ran away.
