Seventy Little Heads

After Goudan put away the things again, he rested his chin on one hand and thought. Wang Xuan said that there were living herbs in his "baby", but he wanted to plant his own things in it but couldn't survive. What's going on?

It would be great if it could be planted!In the future, as long as the seeds are planted, you can take care of your mouth.

Goudan scratched his head, the things left by this strange man were also strange.

Don't think too much about Goudan, the time is still long, maybe there will be surprises in the future.

They turned over all the dry goods on the bamboo flat one by one carefully. The two of them really got a lot of these things back by relying on the "baby" as a means of transportation, but those who just eat these things are not very hungry.

Food is still a problem. Their family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and they don't even have to eat oil.Don't worry about washing the dishes.

Goudan scratched his head and thought, his strength and speed are quite fast now, other than that, he has no other skills for the time being.

Now his father is focused on earning work points, and the two children have the final say in the family. It seems that his father is about to lose his strength. If he can't make up for it after an autumn harvest, he might get sick.

Meaty, Goudan was drooling while thinking.He considered whether he should bring back chickens to raise at the beginning of spring.In my impression, the family had raised chickens before. He was only a little old, and his grandma said that he needed to make up his body when he was sick, and he would come and hug one every three days.

After a busy day, the father and son left nothing behind, and Li Si never raised chickens or ducks.

It was almost noon in a blink of an eye, and Wang Xuan came back with a pile of rags in his arms. When Goudan saw him, he was going to go into the house and start a fire.

"Brother Goudan, wait, help me."

Goudan turned and walked over, "What are you doing?"

"Come and have a look."

The pile of tattered clothes for studying moved a bit, Goudan looked at Wang Xuan, and silently asked him what it was, Wang Xuan smiled so much that his eyes curled up, making him look more delicate, with clear and small facial features.

"It's a puppy. The eldest daughter-in-law of the old aunt's family gave birth to a dog. No one wants it. His family can't bear to fall to his death. If anyone wants to take care of the house, they can take it back. It doesn't cost money." Wang Xuan There is a star called happiness shining in the eyes.

Looking at Goudan with burning eyes, Goudan scratched his head, "Father won't agree, since we have nothing to eat, where can we feed him?"

Wang Xuan gradually became depressed. He himself was raised by others, how could he be qualified to keep a dog?

Goudanpa tore his clothes, and saw two soft, fleshy little things, which might feel cold when they come into contact with the air, stretching their noses here and there, sniffing in a hooded manner, with a cute and naive look.

There is no child who doesn't like small animals, and Goudan immediately fell in love with it. He grabbed it by the back of the neck and picked it up.

"Okay, let's raise it at home."

Wang Xuan's face lit up, and he smiled with his mouth open. He knew that it was impossible for him to raise a dog, but if Brother Goudan said he wanted to, even if his uncle disagreed, he would not object too much, let alone treat the little dog as a dog. The dog threw it out.

"Be good, be good. Leave it like this for now. Let's cook first. Uncle is almost off work."

Goudan nodded, so the two little milk dogs who had just arrived at the new home were put in the rags and stayed there. The two little ones worked together, and when Li Si came back, they would serve the meals on the table.

Li Si's waist was tightened even more. He scooped water from the tank and washed his face and neck in the yard. His neck was black and red from the stimulation of wheatgrass and wheat ash. When the sun came out, it was unbearably itchy when he sweated.

After washing the person, he will be much more refreshed. Goudan puts the dishes and chopsticks and asks his father to eat.Li Si responded, untied the tight belt around his waist, and straightened his bent waist, as if he could hear the crackling sound of bones being straightened.

Taking the big bowl in Wang Xuan's hand, he drank it Xilihulu first, and praised Wang Xuan for a good job with a smile.In fact, these things, regardless of whether they are good or bad, are all cooked and eaten, and the taste is the same.

My throat hurts, the dumplings are bitter and astringent, the dishes are still those pickles, and the other dish is fresh bamboo shoots boiled in salt water.But the bamboo shoots had a bitter taste, but they were still fresh.

The tongues of people like them feel this kind of taste all year round, and they are much more insensitive to bitterness and astringency, so they don't find it unbearable to eat.As long as there are so many requirements in the mouth, like him, he has lived like this almost since he was born, and he grew up eating this kind of food.

It is a very happy thing to have oil residue to eat during the Chinese New Year. When there were only his father and son in the family, the dog eggs were still smaller, and he still ate half-cooked ones. When he was too busy to take care of anything, there was a God has pity on a sensible son for cooking.

Now Wang Xuan's cooking is much more reliable than Goudan and himself, and the wild vegetables are soaked in hot water, instead of being thrown into the pot and cooked, which is no different from pig food.

Li Si thought so in his heart, and felt that it was not too bad to raise Wang Xuan, at least he was a helper in cooking, and the two children at home did a good job of housework.He only goes out to work, and has much less to worry about.

Li Si ate lunch quickly, and then seized the time to lie down for a while, his back stretched out, and he let out a long and painful sigh.

"Father, how about I step on it for you?"

"Good son, step on it."

Li Si struggled to turn over, lying on the top of the kang, and the dog climbed up. Others have small hands. If you beat it with your hands, the effect will not be great, but it is still strong enough to step on it with your feet.

After stepping on it, he took the bowl from Wang Xuan, took out the sticky stuff, and wiped it directly on Li Si's entire back.Li Si's eyelids twitched, and he became sober after being refreshed, and then the medicine on his back started to heat up.

Li Si was snoring loudly, Goudan didn't take a nap, and he and Wang Xuan fed the two little milk dogs with the leftover side of the rice cooker.

"The old aunt said that if you can eat, you can live."

"What shall we name them?"

"Should I be called Xiao Hei? No, there are people with this name in the village."

There is a boy in the village named Heizi, if they call the dog that name, the mother must scold them to death?People can compete with animals for names, but animals cannot compete for names with humans!

"Just call one good and two good, and see how good they are."

Goudan saw how cute the puppy was, and he liked it more and more, but he didn't know that dogs were all good, and he knew it at night.

Not long after, the village chief knocked on the iron block and made a "squeaky" sound, which was urging him to go to work.There was only one hour between coming back to eat and going to work. As soon as Li Si came back, he had food to eat, nothing to worry about, and almost half an hour to rest, which was not necessarily the case for others.After eating and putting down the bowls and chopsticks, I have to go to work immediately, and the time is tight.

Who knows when it will rain in autumn. It is not uncommon for the food to dry when it needs rain, and to rain when it needs sunlight to dry.It means that farmers watch the sky and eat.There is a race against time.

Li Si got up and found something on his back, "What is this?"

"It's okay, is your waist better?"

Li Si didn't have time to think deeply, so he nodded indiscriminately, then put on his clothes, and hurried to gather.

After ten days of busy work, all the food was finally taken back, many people fell down again, and the rest finished the last work.Li Si thought that he would fall too. The autumn harvest was heavier than the summer harvest, and there were more types of crops, which were harvested in different stages one after another.

God is really dry, and during this period, there were only two drizzling rains, and the sun came out again before we got wet.

Everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief when the food was taken back to the granary without any danger.Li Si felt different. In the past, his waist would definitely not be able to straighten up. Now, apart from being tired, he slept soundly at night, and the next day his back regained its toughness, and it was no longer stiff and painful.

He suspected that it was the effect of the things the children pasted on him, but where did the two children come from, and how did they know such a thing?At first, he thought that his naughty son was just playing with mud.

He has had this experience before. No one knows how disgusting Goudan was when he was younger. No one knows better than him as a father. It is really possible to smear mud on him.Playing with mud on it, it still made a snap|snap sound.

But it's normal for him to love his son, he doesn't care what his son does, as long as he doesn't offend others, he is a good son.Even if his son played with mud on his back while he was sleeping!

What Baiyi Baishun is talking about is Li Si's doting on Goudan like this. Goudan is just naughty and loves people, and he is not particularly bad to the end. Li Si is lucky.

Having said that, Li Si felt strange, but thought about going back and asking his son.

The puppy raised by the Goudan brothers can already waddle and crawl behind him. Although it can't run fast, it survived.The night when I first got it back was really tormenting. Who knew that a puppy who was fine during the day would cry so much at night.

All night long, he barked non-stop, and finally Li Si, who was so tired, stopped snoring and got up and threw them out of the door.

There was also constant barking outside the door, which is what a dog will experience after leaving a familiar home for the first time and leaving a bitch.Even the dog eggs didn't sleep well, and finally Wang Xuan secretly took the two dogs back and put them on the kang to sleep together. Maybe they felt the temperature or something, anyway, they stopped barking.

Li Si was very angry. He was woken up only to find out that his son had picked up a puppy to raise again. Why did he love to pick up things so much?Isn't this a waste of food?

Goudan said that he could raise a dog to watch the house, but Li Si said, now everyone’s house is barren, so why raise a dog to watch the house?Nothing to worry about.

The father couldn't screw his son, anyway, the puppy stayed, barking for two nights, and the puppy gradually became familiar with the new home and new environment.

But the two puppies seem to fall in love with sleeping on the kang. Every night they don’t hug the kang, they just cry around the kang "Wang Wang". Wang Xuan couldn't bear it, and when Li Si fell asleep, he secretly let them go. Nest by yourself.

Li Si snores when he sleeps, so Ye San and his two dogs sleep soundly on the kang.Li Si didn't know that he would sleep with the dog on the kang every night, otherwise he would have to secretly throw him on the mountain.

For half a month, the two puppies could twist their bodies and run after Goudan and Wang Xuan according to the smell. Because of their short legs, they would go back every time before they could catch Goudan. If the foot is kicked or the tail is stepped on, the puppy will bark miserably.Very pitiful.

But it forgot when it was done, and continued to look for the smell, turning around non-stop, and the family saw two children busy, followed by two puppies who occasionally tripped and barked.

"Goudan, Goudan, are you here?"

Goudan stretched out his neck and responded, "Why?"

"Do you want to pick up sweet potatoes?" The sweet potatoes in the field are harvested and divided first. There may be missing ones in the field. After dividing the area to find them, the rest is the opportunity for the children to pick up the missing ones.As much as I picked up, I baked and ate it outside, and then played for a day without going home.Adults will not be nervous to look for it, anyway, it is so long, as long as you know how to return to the nest at night.

Boys don’t need to do housework like girls do. Except for helping the family with the farm work occasionally, they are still free until they grow up enough to be married.

"Wait a moment."

This bastard likes to do things, play, there is nothing he doesn't like.He and Wang Xuan put away the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, shut the two puppies at home, picked up the slingshot and ran out.

"Let's go, where to go today."

"In the mountainous area to the west, there are many rocks, and many of them were not dug carefully. Two big sweet potatoes were dug out in February yesterday."

"That's fine." Wang Xuan put the basket on his shoulders and followed Goudan and the others roaring away.

Children are carefree, but adults have to worry about their stomachs all the time. Although they are also governors, once they have fun, their worries are gone.

Smoke rose from the overturned fields, and even the grass withered here.Because the sweet potato fields have been turned over again, there is no need to worry about causing a fire.

The children picked up dry firewood and set it up, and the matchsticks secretly distributed from various homes could be used together.

As long as one fire is successfully ignited, countless fires will be born.

It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, everything they eat at this age is sweet and fragrant.

"God, why are you running so fast?" The little friend was surprised, "How come Wang Xuan is almost like me."

"Hmph, I was running faster than you."

"You look like a rabbit."

"Now we can run as fast as a dog's egg here."

The little friend said in a hurry, and then he didn't know where he was, and no one remembered how he started the conversation, and no one cared about it anyway.They just talked about where they thought.

"I heard that Teacher Chunfang and Teacher Chen are getting married, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, my grandma is a matchmaker." This is what the friend who my grandma was borrowed to deliver the message said.

"Ms. Chunfang is so good, and Mrs. Chen is also good, but..."

I can't tell what's inappropriate, maybe because Teacher Chunfang is young, beautiful and gentle, and these country boys like this teacher very much.When people get married, they can also become gossip.

The elementary school teachers in these communes are either relatives of the leaders of the communes, or educated youths who have been sent to the countryside, and most of them are young people.

Goudan is not interested in this, he doesn't like these teachers, because he is too different, he likes to hate teachers, and people don't like him.

Regardless of the small school, it is also complicated inside, and not everyone can get in and be a teacher alone.Goudan's family is poor, and there are no adults who can talk to him at home, and he himself doesn't like to be obedient, and some snobbish teachers don't like him.

Who made him do it the other way around every time, and didn't like to participate in collective labor.Every time he has something to say, it makes people choke and panic, who likes such a student?

He won't participate in the topic, anyway, he knows what's going on, isn't it that the beautiful teacher Chunfang fell in love with Mr. Chen, who is a relative of the leader of the commune, and Mrs. Chen fell in love with Chunfang's beauty?

Goudan thought proudly, these people don't know the inside story, he knows.He saw it in the woods when he skipped class and came out to take a shit. At that time, he could hear their conversation when he was squatting there. Otherwise, how could Teacher Chunfang be a teacher?

And Teacher Chen is ugly and old, how could Chunfang care about him?Goudan is a precocious boy, he doesn't understand many things about men and women, but he instinctively knows the principle of these exchange of interests.

He carefully dug out the sweet potatoes buried under the fire. The skin of the sweet potatoes was roasted and blackened. He tapped them with a stick and turned them upside down in his hands.

Half of the petals were handed to Wang Xuan, "Dad either saved the sweet potatoes at home or sliced ​​them and dried them in the sun."

"I have to eat this from now on, and I have to fart every day."

"It's okay. I'll adjust the medicine then, so I won't fart."

"Don't." Wang Xuan is currently in the learning stage, and he is very unreliable. Maybe he won't fart, and he will be hiccupped or constipated. He doesn't want to squat in the grass for a long time to feed mosquitoes.

"No, I'm sure this time."

Goudan shook his head, he would rather fart after eating sweet potatoes than eat his pills.

The sun was in the west, and these children, holding the earth, buried the fire, and wandered home after the fire was extinguished.

"Stop playing tomorrow, and go collect our family's sweet potatoes with dad."

"Father, let's go to school tomorrow."

"Oh, yes, Dad forgot." Li Si likes going to school, but he doesn't necessarily pay much attention to it. He just thinks that everyone goes to his son, but he knows that his son will dig in the soil like him in the future. food.

It is not easy for farmers to get rid of the land. The son goes to school just to find a place to wait for him to grow up.

He doesn't have any ideas about what he can learn, and he doesn't force it if he doesn't get good grades.No matter how much he loved his son Goudan, he knew in his heart that his father who was a farmer could have a son who was not a farmer?

But my son goes to school if he wants to, "Listen to the teacher carefully." That's all at most.

Another week later, Goudan and Wang Xuan were going to take the final exam. The exam papers were issued by the school teacher, and the school would discuss and arrange the exam itself.The Ministry of Education has been messed up for a long time, and the junior and senior high schools in the county have not had much class for a long time.Students are just dawdling, and there is not much time for real class study.

And the primary schools in the rural communes don't care much, as long as the school makes a decision, it's fine to report it.Relatively speaking, elementary school students are free from worry, and they really have lessons.

So the school decided to have a final exam, and that was the exam.

There are one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon, and you can pass it easily in one day.The teacher in charge of the class, Mr. Chen, told me to take the test papers in two days, and the winter vacation for the elementary school students will arrive.

It's a good thing that you don't have to go to school before it snows, otherwise the children will be cold. Anyway, elementary school students are like that, and there are not many people who can teach them.The level of teachers is uneven, and some people can become teachers after graduating from elementary school.

It was a mess.
