Shangqiaotou Village, Qiaotou Town

A week after the two were "newly married", they went to the town again and took out the photos from the photo studio. I bought a catty of pork, because Le Sheng likes to eat roasted pork strips. This roasted pork strips look fat, but when cooked, they taste fat but not greasy. They really melt in your mouth, soft and tender. The meat is delicious, the teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless; even rich people in Qiaotou Village will not easily eat such "luxury" dishes if they are not on the New Year's Day; Jin pork, cut into small slices, put more salt, fry in half a porcelain pot, wait for the meat to cool, put a thick layer of oil on it, cover it, press it with bricks, put it in your own cave, and cook at noon At that time, I gently dug up a small handful, which was enough to feed the whole family for a month; but Hong Sheng loved Le Sheng, and although he had to live on a budget, at least he had to "improve" his food for two months. A bowl of roasted pork strips can be eaten for three meals. The key is that Le Sheng is willing to eat if he is happy.

Back home, Ding Ding Dangdang knocked two nails on the wall, hung a "family portrait" on the bottom, and hung a 12-inch photo of the two of them on the top, just like getting married, looking at the photo with a red scarf around it , Le Sheng who smiled timidly, Hong Sheng was so satisfied, he couldn't help but pull the person next to him over, and kissed him again.

Hong Sheng is an "old bachelor", and few people in the old bachelor's family come to visit, so this "wedding photo" Hong Sheng hangs on the front wall blatantly; of course, even if someone comes to visit, Hong Sheng I am not afraid of gossip when I am born. When I was alone a few years ago, no one would gossip less. If you think gossip is a big deal, you will not be able to eat well, sleep well, live well, and it will really become a big deal. Oh, but if you ignore it, it is nothing more than "gossip".

This winter, it snowed several times. The older generation said, "auspicious snow heralds a good year". Drought, it will definitely be another bumper year.People in the village, all year round, for a few days of leisure, the men may gather together to play cards, play dice, and take a small gamble; men and women who do not like to gamble, just take a cotton pad and sit together in a pile , basking in the sun, gossiping: for example, so-and-so’s man gambled a lot, how much he lost, the couple fought; so-and-so’s daughter-in-law quarreled with her mother-in-law; The price of firewood, rice, oil and salt has risen, or someone from outside came back and said that some major event that Qiaotou Village has never heard of happened somewhere...

Hong Sheng didn’t gamble, so when he was free, he would sit on the stone pier and listen to people chatting. As long as he was around, Le Sheng would definitely be there. He was drowsy with one arm; the villagers had joked about Lesheng's red scarf for a long time, and now when they saw the two getting tired of it, the joking people would bring the topic to them again; Secondly, Le Sheng's childish temperament makes everyone feel that he is still a fool at heart, so he doesn't think too much about the relationship between the two, at most, he thinks that this is a child who is very clingy to adults;

"Le Sheng, Hong Sheng of your family is going to marry a wife. When the time comes, he will marry another one and give him a fat baby, but you will not be wanted!"

At this time, Le Sheng raised his head and looked at Hong Sheng with aggrieved and worried expression. Seeing Hong Sheng's gentle and doting eyes, he gave the good man a look and ignored him; people couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this , and can't help but continue to tease him,

"Le Sheng, why don't you turn into a doll and become Hong Sheng's wife? If you give him a fat boy, Hong Sheng won't want you!"

At this time, two red clouds would appear on Le Sheng's face again, and Hong Sheng would get closer to him, but he still ignored him anyway;

"Yeah, you know how shy you are when you see someone happy?"

When young wives are sitting idle, their mouths are not idle, their ears are not idle, and their hands are even less idle. Get a shoe sole, get an insole, and sew and mend for the children... all without delay.When I put insoles, I have to draw patterns, such as happy characters, plum blossoms, some stupid daughter-in-laws, let others draw them first; The second aunt's family painted the cabinet, and asked,

"Lesheng, will you describe your appearance?"

When Le Sheng didn’t understand, he would look to Hong Sheng, and Hong Sheng would explain to him, so occasionally he would help his daughters-in-law draw insole patterns. Anyway, if someone else gave him a pattern, he could follow it, so Sometimes Le Sheng would be surrounded by groups of daughters-in-law, watching him draw tricks.When Le Sheng was painting, he was very focused, and sometimes people would forget that he was still a "fool". You smile sweetly, if you praise him again, at any time, two touches of red will fly on his face in embarrassment; every time at this time, his eyes will start to search for Hong Sheng who is squeezed out by the young wives When he met Hong Sheng's gaze, he smiled sweetly again with peace of mind; looking at Le Sheng surrounded by women, Hong Sheng was proud, thinking that his wife was really capable, but sometimes I can't help being a little worried, a little jealous. After staying with this woman for a long time, will I suddenly feel that the woman is better?Hong Sheng didn't want to admit that he was narrow-minded, but sometimes he always had such impulsive thoughts to pull Le Sheng out of the crowd and hide him at home; I'm relieved; yes, this lovely person is my daughter-in-law, whether it's a man or a woman, she can't take it away!

You say Lesheng is smart, right?Most of the time he is stupid like a child, you want to say he is stupid?Some jobs, things, he can learn them in style after watching them a few times; I don’t know which daughter-in-law learned pancakes from that day, and when he comes back, he can make pancakes in style for Hong Sheng Rice; because my hands were careless, I baked a dozen or so sheets at once. Anyway, it is winter, and this thing is not afraid of being damaged, but after Hong Sheng ate one, he couldn't help but want to eat the second one. After eating the second one, the chopsticks Then I moved to the third one... It was really delicious, and the most important thing was that this was the first time his wife cooked for him, so happy, excited, excited; Le Sheng ate one and was full , just looked at his man with a smile, one after another, eating non-stop, but one forgot to control, and the other didn't know how to remind the other party to control; unexpectedly, Hong Sheng ate too much, and his stomach was so uncomfortable for two God, when I went to bed the next night, I still felt sour in my mouth; when I thought about it later, Hong Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh, and when I met Le Sheng, I was also stupid, a person in his 30s, Can eat more!

The relationship between the two was also very harmonious, but it was so harmonious that Hong Sheng almost forgot to be restrained. When he was not busy, the two of them could sleep until the sun basked in their buttocks; it wasn't until this time that Hong Sheng understood what "" Gentle country", I wish I could get up one day, hold Le Sheng and stop getting off the kang.

In a blink of an eye, Lesheng is about to pass his second year in Qiaotou Town. It seems that he has grown taller than the first year?Cleaner?Smarter?Or more "juicy"? The word "Shui Lingling" is not suitable for men, but people in Qiaotou Village found that Lesheng is very suitable for it; sometimes when you look at his shy and gentle smile, you feel that this word was born for him; remember Once, when Xizi had nothing to do, she sat down with everyone and was stunned by Le Sheng's smile for a long time before she said,

"Brother Hong Sheng, if Le Sheng is a girl, I will bring a gift and come to your house to propose marriage!"

People laughed and joked,

"If Le Sheng was a girl, it would be your turn? The baby would have been called Hong Sheng's father a long time ago!"

Xizi was still not convinced, and said,

"That's not necessarily true. Brother Hong Sheng is so much older than Le Sheng. How could Le Sheng marry him? If you want to marry, marry someone of the same age!"

People turned their attention to Le Sheng, teasing him and saying,

"Le Sheng, if you were a girl, would you marry Hong Sheng? Or Xi Zi?"

Although Le Sheng didn't speak, he tightly held Hong Sheng's hand, and the result was self-evident; Xi Zi still didn't give up, and seemed to think that Le Sheng might really become a girl.

"Le Sheng, brother Hong Sheng is ten years older than you, don't you think he is old?"

At this time, Le Sheng raised his head and looked at Hong Sheng with such tenderness and concentration, as if he had been watching and thinking for a long time, and said,

"Hong Sheng, you are not old, but you are young!"

The audience roared with laughter, and Xizi suddenly felt that she had taken a sip of old vinegar. Later, she also realized that she was too "real", and laughed with everyone. As the protagonist, Wang Hongsheng, besides sweetness, was still sweet at this time.

Hong Sheng remembered that on the wedding night, he and Le Sheng made an appointment in his heart to be with Le Sheng for two lifetimes. How long are the two lifetimes?Hong Sheng didn't know that this life was not over yet, and he was reluctant to finish every day, but every day was just like this, and it seemed that he hadn't had time to recollect it, and the next day began again sweetly; Hong Sheng was not in a hurry, these Hong survived the things that he had no time to recollect, and they were all kept in a certain hall in his heart. When he got old one day, he would put his arms around Lesheng and reminisce slowly, saying, "We were at that time..."

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month this year, I still gave away the gods as usual. After cleaning the house, I went to the town to buy Lesheng's outfit and couplet firecrackers; The gown was still new, but Le Sheng forced him to add a set of long johns; the two of them had their hair cut together before returning home with Hei Bei. 26 On this day, I went to the town again, this time to buy food for the New Year, such as vegetables and meat, you can’t buy it too early, but you can’t buy it too late. The words of the older generation are, “26, bring Basket to buy pork", this time is just right.On the night of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Hong Sheng, who was sleeping happily, was suddenly awakened by Hei Bei's cry. Bei screamed more and more fiercely, at this time Le Sheng also woke up, Hong Sheng comforted him, and was putting on his clothes when he suddenly heard an "ouch", followed by a muffled sound, as if a stick was being drawn on the flesh, black Bei screamed twice, Hong Sheng put on his trousers and ran into the yard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure turning over the wall, and Hei Bei roared and rushed towards the wall.When Hei Bei roared, all the dogs in the village seemed to start barking, one after another, and called Hei Bei back. When he touched his back, the young man groaned in pain twice, probably because he was hit by a stick; At this time, Le Sheng also got up, touching Hei Bei distressedly, not knowing what to do with tears in his eyes; Hei Bei licked Le Sheng's hand, then rushed to the courtyard and smelled it along the wall , called a few times, and then came back.
