Seventy Little Heads

Goudan took Wang Xuan's hand and ran out to watch the excitement.Zhiqing's family beat their wives again, and the cold weather didn't know where the anger came from, but his family beat their wives most frequently.Of the six brothers, the four took turns beating each other, either the elder brother or the younger brother.There are two women in the back who don't have wives, probably because they were frightened. Their daughters are not cheap, and no one is willing to push their daughters into the fire pit if they have a choice.

Brother Zhiqing's old lady ignored the cold, sat on the threshold and patted her thighs and howled. Listening carefully, she was scolding her daughter-in-law.Everyone curled their lips, this old woman, most of the sons beat their wives because of her.This will still cry, people who understand the situation will not sympathize with it at all, and look down on it very much.

Goudan doesn't like to watch people beat their wives, he likes to watch Zhiqing's old lady sing in that tune, it doesn't tie up at all, it's like listening to an opera.Zhiqing's generation is not young, but they are actually of the same generation as Goudan.Goudan usually barks with other people.

But when the dog's egg arrived, the beater was pulled away, and his mother-in-law curled up in the dirty snow.Seems to have passed out, and the children around me are crying and crying with their mouths open, singing like a chorus with their grandma's voice.Everyone in the village is used to it, the good will get used to the bad and the bad will get used to it.

Goudan pouted, he didn't like Zhiqing who beat his wife, and he didn't like those so-called nephews either.How about several boys, if they go up and bite their fathers, their mothers won't be beaten like that. The eldest son is two years older than him.What's the use of crying?

He thought so and murmured to Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan said that they are also quite pitiful, not everyone is like him who is not afraid of adults who are taller than him.Wang Xuan himself was afraid before, when his uncle was often beaten, scolded and bullied, he could bear it as much as he could.He will fight after living with Goudan.

When Zhiqing's eldest son was carrying his mother into the house, he saw the two dogs embedded in the adults, and he probably felt ashamed or something, so he gave them a hard look.Goudan let out a hey, what are you staring at? If you have the ability to hit your father with a hammer while he is sleeping, it's not that he hit his own mother.

Nothing to grow.

"That family really doesn't treat the mother-in-law as a human being."

"Look at how it was beaten, I don't know when it will be beaten to death."

No matter how much you say it, it is sympathy. After all, it is someone else's business.The mother-in-law of that family is also powerful, and no one would dip into this muddy water for anyone.

"Daniu's mother is also suffering. She had no mother since she was a child. She was sold to Zhiqing by her stepmother as a daughter-in-law. Now that she has been beaten by her stepmother, who has so many younger brothers and sisters who will come out ahead? How hard-hearted."

"That's right, the most disgusting thing is Zhiqing's mother. Her son has a bad temper. How can a mother interfere with the young couple and make trouble? It's outrageous."

"It's their youngest son's fault that he can't marry a wife." One said one or two and said the son had a bad temper, and the four brothers who married wives beat them hard. If you said that there is no mother-in-law involved in the guidance, who would believe it.Who doesn't know why?

----

"Daniu is so pitiful." Wang Xuan felt a little sympathetic, although his father ran away, and his mother hung up on himself, but he never beat his mother in his impression.Even his own uncle, his aunt would be fine if he didn't beat him.

"Have you forgotten the thing about him glaring at us just now? Besides, if I wait for his father to fall asleep and break his legs, I'll see if he's still majestic."

"Nonsense, who will work to support them after his father has a broken leg? His younger siblings are still young."

For the outside world, the village is very small, but there is no shortage of joys and sorrows.Family harmony comes from harmony, and tragedy also comes from tragedy.Sometimes in a really small place, unity is also unity when something happens, but usually the evil spirit is not small at all.It seems that this is a small microcosm of the big world, and there are many ways to do it.

Organize a literacy class every three days, watching everyone beating their children when they are idle, or looking for a daughter-in-law and son-in-law while gathering, if the two parties have the intention to make an appointment in the spring.If you don't like it, keep going.During this period, a lot of nonsense happened, so don't look at it, it's not deserted at all in winter.

Li Si has been busy for a week and it will be over. At least he will not be able to repair water conservancy again until next year.With Li Si at home, the two children dare not take out the things in the treasure unscrupulously.Even Wang Xuan didn't dare to mix medicine with his legs crossed on the kang.

Li Si didn't treat him harshly, and he didn't even say a bad word about him after picking him up.It's just that in the end, I realized in my heart that I was depending on others, and I was careful in everything because I was afraid of offending others.With his status and the environment he lived in since he was a child, there is no way for him to make troubles in life like a dog.

Goudan really likes to take him with him, and the two of them can hardly leave Meng, and Meng does not leave focus throughout the winter.

Spring always comes quietly while waiting, and it always comes suddenly when you don't pay attention, such as fresh branches and leaves suddenly appearing behind someone's yard.Children are not afraid of the cold on the muddy road that has become muddy overnight. The old shoes are dirty and wet, and they step on it with bare feet. They are shivering from the cold, and their hands and feet are purple. Look at the happy smile on the face.Of course, if you meet a parent with a bad temper, you will be reluctant to be fried with bamboo shoots at home.

Once spring comes, the feeling of a new year will be obvious. From the beginning of winter to the most important festival of the year - the Spring Festival, in fact, there is nothing but a little bit of meat.It's not much different from ordinary days, so what's the difference in the festivals of the poor?

Only spring is different, because it means that everything is revived and food is full.There were too few harvests last autumn, so many people were worried. Looking at the rows of babies waiting to be fed, the adults were so worried that they couldn't sleep.

Before the tree leaves have grown three or four pieces, the forest is already bustling with chatter and chatter.Goudanmao stooped silently, and the big slingshot in his hand was stretched tightly. These birds, whether they wake up from winter or return from the south, patronize happiness.Goudan had three little birds of unknown species hanging from his waist, hanging upside down, with either their stomachs or their heads rotten.This was killed by Goudan's self-made slingshot.

One winter, he continued to study and was able to catch up with the rabbit. He grew a little longer than last year, with long and thin legs, straight and vigorous, swishing when running backwards, and made little movement in the forest. Just like small animals.

The light in the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and it is noon.The sun was still struggling in the thick clouds, but the strong light still struggled out a few strands, piercing through the thick clouds, showing some gestures.Relying on this little light, trees and flowers can sprout, and small animals can also come out of their holes.

Wang Xuan’s two baskets were already full of young wild vegetables, because there are dog eggs, who are like monkeys, and are very familiar with this mountain forest, so there are few places where children who dig wild vegetables go, and wild vegetables grow densely and densely. stout.

If he accidentally fell into the abandoned well of the Taoist temple now, he would not be as helpless as before, and he was confident that he could climb up easily.It's just that the weather is still chilly, Goudan wandered around in the mountains and forests for a long time, and he inevitably received the cold air, but his body is fine, with two clear snot coming out from under his nose.He reached out and didn't care at all.

"Wang Xuan, look at this."

Wang Xuan raised his head, "Mouse, no...".Goudan followed his words and said: "This is a squirrel, you see it is bigger than a wild mouse, with a long body, especially the tail."

"It's still alive. I knocked it out on purpose so it didn't die. When I come back, let Dad make a cage for us to raise."

"...Then what do you give him to eat?"

"Anything is fine, grass roots, wild fruits and food."

Wang Xuan stopped talking, the family didn't have much food, why dig wild vegetables?It's not like everyone knows that the food at home can't get through.There are three people in the family, only Uncle Li earns work points and has two dogs.Uncle Li doesn't know how disgusted this dog is, it's useless at all, it's a waste of food.Even if you only feed some leftovers every time, where is the leftovers at this time?Every time he sneaks some grain to feed him, he is terrified.

Uncle Li must be uncomfortable seeing him. People have nothing to eat, and it is ignorant to keep a dog!

"Farewell, we can't afford it. Go home and kill it, remove the hair and guts, at least it's a piece of meat."

"That's fine, squirrel meat is delicious."

Goudan untied the large and small bird carcasses hanging from his waist and threw them on the ground. Wang Xuan freed up some of the baskets full of wild vegetables.Put the harvest of dog eggs in it, and cover it with a layer of wild vegetables, so that no one can see it.

"Brother Goudan, you can catch up with rabbits and squirrels now, will we have a lot of meat to eat from now on?"

"It's hard to say, there is no prey here, and we dare not go to the deep mountains."

Wang Xuan thinks about it too, it's not bad now, but at that time they couldn't do anything except dig out the bird's nest and spoon water to touch the loach.Now Goudan can shoot rabbits, pheasants, squirrels and birds, of course, if he can meet these little things.And the medicine he dispensed was a little bit better than before.

Looking back, the friends of the same age in the village are still the same, but they seem to be different from them.He is not a freelancer, and he can get more and more food. When they grow up, maybe they don't have to worry about raising a dog.

------

Generally, when doing business in the village, if you are not in a hurry, you will choose winter or just the beginning of spring. Winter is free, and you can marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the new year.In the beginning of spring, people may need companionship just like animals.

There are several families in the village who hold wedding events, and there are many children in the family, so there is no shortage of people to hold wedding events every year.There are marriages and marriages, no matter how difficult it is, there are always two tables.If you don’t have food, you can borrow a little from here and there, and relatives and friends must bring some food when they come to eat wine, right?That's enough. When the wedding is started, those who are close to each other will come to help, borrow tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks, which is much more lively and atmospheric than those revolutionary weddings in the city.

Today, Goudan mixed Wang Xuan with two slices of meat, as well as wild vegetables and tofu. Goudan was a kid since he was a kid, and he often didn't know how he got it.There is always something in your mouth.

But today the family didn't seem so happy, Goudan pulled Wang Xuan and quickly disappeared, he should not give others a chance to scold him when he is in a bad mood.

The combination of educated youth and local people is nothing new, and some people are even quite willing to marry daughters-in-law and son-in-law in the city.But after the incident with Wang Xuan's mother, many people choose a spouse more rationally, and they don't just like Bai Jing anymore.After all, someone died, which made the relationship between the locals and the educated youth very delicate, and they guarded against each other and blamed each other.

This family is married, but married to a female educated youth, a young woman who works very hard in the fields, often does not have enough food, and has no hope in sight.If you can't hold on anymore, finding someone to marry is also a way out.The old man in the family is unwilling to marry, who will let the son in the family die, and he will fall in love with the girl from the city.He also said that he is a man, and it will not be his fault that his wife will run away in the future.

The family couldn't persuade him to let him go, and everyone was thinking, anyway, after getting married and having a child in the future, can the woman still run away?That's no longer a girl with yellow flowers. In the future, if the woman regrets it, she can only accept her fate and stay with him in the countryside.Isn't that the case with women?So if you are not satisfied, you are not satisfied, and finally agreed, but if you marry an educated youth, the family can break your leg.

From the point of view of the past, if you marry, the man will not suffer. There is nothing wrong with thinking this way, but everything cannot be generalized.
