Chapter 2 Family members)(1/2)
Sitting on the bridge pier, Gao Wenxue took out a small cloth pocket from his pocket, took out the cut straw paper from it, grabbed some cigarette leaves, and started rolling the cigarette.
He originally smoked cigarettes, but that one was too expensive, so he followed the local customs and changed the cigarette leaves.
Maybe it was because I was still excited, my fingers were out of control and the cigarette paper was twisted.
After scratching a match, Gao Wenxue lit the cannon that had finally been rolled out.
Squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Qingshan, I will go to your mother to propose marriage later. I want to marry your eldest sister, so I must marry you!"
After saying that, he took out a wrinkled remittance slip and shook it: "Look, this is the royalty I received, it's twelve yuan, enough to buy four boxes of gifts to come to propose marriage!"
Huh—Liu Qingshan let out a long sigh and completely blew out the last trace of anger in his heart.
"Brother Wenxue, are you stupid? How can you go about proposing a marriage by yourself? Go back and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the gifts, and then ask the captain uncle and aunt to be matchmakers for you."
"Also, I'm going to my grandfather's house to recommend the marriage. Do you know?"
Gao Wenxue kept nodding: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go to Qingshan now, when I come back, I'll buy you candy!"
"Be careful on the way!"
Seeing Gao Wenxue riding his bicycle and staggeringly, Liu Qingshan shouted behind him.
This is my future brother-in-law. My dear, don’t go into the river.
Finally, I will no longer watch my elder sister alone for the rest of my life! Liu Qingshan couldn't help but wipe his wet eyes.
What else could make him more happy than this?
It was not until this time that the two and half-aged men came up, and Datou muttered: "Hey, did you pee in glasses today?"
According to the locals, anyone who drinks piss will keep giggling.
Datou is a bit concise, so Liu Qingshan ignored him and the three of them entered the village together.
A middle-aged man walked towards him, with a straw hat on his head and the circle of the brim of the hat was wrapped in cloth to avoid being in a circle.
He wore an old white vest on his upper body, but on his chest, there was a line of words distributed in a semicircular shape: The outstanding party members of Qingshan Commune were memorialized, and there were also small characters printed in the middle with year - 1973.
"Uncle Captain." Liu Qingshan greeted.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Big Head shouted silly.
As for Erbiaozi, he blinked his eyes twice and then quietly began to slip away.
This is Zhang Guofu, the captain of Pimpougou, and he is also his father.
He strode over, grabbed Big Head's neck with his other hand and scratched his son's arm with his other hand.
After a sting, several white Taoists appeared.
Liu Qingshan remembered it a little: it seems that the adults in the village used this trick to verify whether the children at home were sneaking into the river to swim.
"It's going down the river again, you little bastard, I'll kick you to death today!" Zhang Guofu was furious, grabbed Big Head's arm, stretched out his feet and kicked his son's butt.
I don’t know how many times this situation will take place every summer, so although Datou is a little stupid, he also knows how to deal with it.
While screaming, he circled around his father. After his feet were touched to his butt, his strength was basically removed.
In fact, Zhang Guofu yelled fiercely, and only one precious son in his family was so reluctant to kick him hard.
The two of them were walking around together, one kicked and the other hurried, and the thunder was loud and the raindrops were small.
Words like little bastards, little turtle lambs all emerged from Zhang Guofu's mouth. Tell me, who are you scolding?
As for Liu Qingshan and Er Biaozi, they had already run away. Could it be that the captain wouldn't kick other people's children?
From the east end of the village, I entered the village. There was a dirt road in the middle, and there were two houses in front and behind, and there were more than twenty families in sparsely.
It is a large courtyard surrounded by willow branches. Every family in the village is filled with mud and thatched houses, mud walls and grass roofs, and is short. The back slope of the roof is full of thick moss and weeds more than a foot tall.
Poor, thieves will be poor.
However, all of this appeared in Liu Qingshan's dreams countless times, making him unforgettable for his life.
Liu Qingshan's house is in the west of the village, and the house is also the most dilapidated in the village.
Because his father was beaten and didn't survive, his mother, Linzhi, was the adult, who led a nest of children. If it weren't for the care of the villagers in the village and the care of grandparents, he might have starved to death.
Standing in front of the door made of twisted willow branches, Liu Qingshan looked at the two strange and familiar small thatched houses, with a little hot eyes.
The yellow mud walls, the broken windows with grinning teeth, the paint on the window frames was almost gone, and it was still the same kind of windows with two upper and lower ones.
Because it is summer now, the fan above is pushed outward and supported by a willow stick.
Under the eaves, there was a nest of birds and two big birds, busy holding small flying insects in their mouths, stuffing them into the nest with four yellow mouths.
Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel aroused: His mother worked hard to pull four children, how similar is it to the scene in front of her?
After trying hard to calm down the agitation, Liu Qingshan pushed open the wood door and entered the yard with a creak.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
"rhubarb!"
Liu Qingshan hugged the dog's head and rubbed it hard.
This is a big yellow dog he raised since he was a child. It has no name. Because it is a yellow-haired dog, it is called Dahuang.
Let alone dogs, back then, even the kids at home didn’t have a serious name.
This big yellow dog has been with him throughout his entire study career. It was not until he went home during his sophomore year and went home during the holidays. He heard that the big yellow is gone.
It is said that some people saw Dahuang running to the mountains and never came back.
"The old dog doesn't die at home, this dog is kind and righteous."
Grandpa, who was completely blind at that time, knocked on the stick in his hand and said this.
"Dahuang, I'm back!" Liu Qingshan could no longer hold it back, and tears fell on the head of the big yellow dog.
The big yellow dog obviously couldn't understand the little master's mood at this moment, so he just licked it hard and washed Liu Qingshan's face again.
"Sanfeng'er is back."
As soon as the door of the house rang, a middle-aged woman with short hair came out of the house with a pig food bucket.
"mother!"
Liu Qingshan's tears that had just been wiped clean were immediately like opening the gate and releasing water.
Linzhi quickly put down the pig food bucket in her hand and let her son throw himself into his arms.
She gently touched the back of Liu Qingshan's head with her hand and said softly: "Sanfeng'er, what's wrong? Are you wronged outside?"
Liu Qingshan looked up at his mother: He was just in his forties, his temples were gray and crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.
It’s so hard for the mother to work for this family and these children!
"Mom, I will never be wronged again, and our family will never be wronged in the future!" Liu Qingshan raised his head and said loudly.
Hey, why does my son seem a little different today? He no longer seems to be the ignorant monkey, but he looks like a little manly?
Linzhi gently hooked her hair with her tail finger, sorted them behind her ears, and then said, "Sanfeng'er, go into the house to wash your hands and put them on the table to eat. My mother feeds the pigs first."
"Mom, let me come!"
Liu Qingshan wiped his eyes, then picked up the pig food bucket, and strode towards the pigpen in the southwest corner of the yard.
"Slow down, your kid..."
Lin Zhi reminded her, and the smile on her face became stronger.
It seems that my son has really grown up, and this is the most gratifying thing to be a mother. No matter how hard or tired he is, it is worth it.
There were two half-large pigs in the pen. When they heard the movement, they got up and then circled around the pig trough, and shouted hard, which made Liu Qingshan no longer have the chance to pour the pig food into the trough.
Lin Zhi came over and screamed a few times, attracting the two pigs. Only then did Liu Qingshan pour the pig food that had been splashed in, and a lot of water splashed out, making him all over.
I haven't fed pigs for a long time, and my skills are a bit rough.
The main reason is that the pig food at this time is thin and the soup is watery. The various cooked pig foods floated on it, with only a small amount of corn to save face.
Hugh, this pair of pig brothers eats quite deliciously.
However, after scavenging all the dry things, I didn't work so hard. My long mouth swam back and forth in the soup. Finally, I threw it twice with dissatisfaction, splashing Liu Qingshan's whole body again.
It would be great if you could get enough water. Nowadays, no one can get enough! Liu Qingshan muttered secretly.
Linzhi had experience, so she took a gourd ladle, scooped a little wheat bran, and sprinkled it in the pig trough. The two brothers ate it hard again.
After sprinkling wheat bran several times, he was so scattering pig food that he could get into his stomach. Then Liu Qingshan carried the empty bucket and followed his mother back.
Dahuang ran to the door again, and Liu Qingshan also ran up.
Coming toward him was a tall young woman with a floral shirt that was washed white, with a pair of fat blue pants, a big black and shiny braid hanging around her waist, and a large bales of hay were carrying on her shoulders.
A refreshing face, absolutely bare face, but she is very beautiful, especially her big black eyes, which are very lively.
If you want to say that these two sisters of Liu Qingshan have inherited the good genes of their parents, one is as handsome as the other.
Of course, Liu Qingshan's appearance is not bad either, with edges and angles.
