Seventy Little Heads

No matter how Goudan explained the source of the meat, Li Si didn't have time to worry about it anyway.Because in addition to going to the field, he also has to attend the funeral in the village. As a fellow villager, he should do his best.There is no woman in the family, so a handful of rice and Li Si had to be delivered there in person.Everyone who comes here brings a handful of food and gathers it together. People who are doing funerals can also enjoy it, and busy people can also eat hot food. This is a more humane place in the countryside.

Although the streamlining of weddings and funerals has been advocated in recent years, those are urban people, and the procedures that should be followed in the village have also been followed. We can't let the rules disappear for the sake of so-called convenience, right?

The funeral is a joyful one. I have been paralyzed in bed for several years, and my children and grandchildren have not abandoned them, and they have been taken care of fairly well.But when I get older, I have been lying down for a long time, and I am exhausted, no matter how good the care is, it will not be human.

"Da Zhuang doesn't go to school these days. Do you think he won't go to school after this time?"

"No, on the contrary, his sister can also go to school, and she doesn't have to watch him at home all day, too grandma dare not leave for too long."

The elders in the village did not deliberately avoid their children when they were dying. Apart from not being close to the place where the coffin was parked, it is okay to watch from a distance.Of course Goudan is also curious, my child, when I hear the mourning, I want to see it, and those with shallow tears will cry when they hear others cry.If the tears are hidden deep, you can laugh and laugh while watching and playing.If they get too close, the old man will wave them away, and then a group of children will watch curiously from a distance.

As far as fear is concerned, it’s just that the more afraid you are, the more you want to see it. During the day, it’s okay, you can play when you want, but at night, you are so scared that you have to be accompanied by an adult before you dare to go out to pee.

Wang Xuan has experienced more than Goudan. He experienced the death of his grandmother. Of course, he was young at that time and didn't feel much, but when his mother left, he was several years old and remembered everything.I couldn't understand it at first, but after a few days of not seeing my mother, I understood.In addition, Wang Heimei had no good words to say, so he knew the meaning of death early on.

Don't look at the naughty dog, in fact, these life and death partings have experienced the mother running away. This is just not seeing people, and it has nothing to do with death.Although many people in the Li family thought she was dead.

Goudan is a little scared at night, their house is on the side, and the nearest old aunt's house is about a hundred meters away.Coupled with the shadows of the trees and the overgrown weeds, it seems that the distance has been increased, which makes people feel even more creepy.When going in and out, Li Si is required to accompany him, and when Li Si is not around, Wang Xuan is required to accompany him. It is hard to imagine that such a child is afraid of ghosts?

The adults laughed when they knew it. After all, no matter how popular science is, everyone still thinks there are ghosts in the world.What lives is an individual, and when it dies, it is no longer a ghost of a species.No one is guilty, even if they don't do anything wrong, they are always afraid of ghosts and gods.

"Don't be afraid, Goudan, I'll accompany you. Besides, shouldn't Da Zhuang be more afraid? Our house is so far away, even ghosts can't come to our house."

"Really, really? Well, actually, I'm not very scared." As he spoke, he retracted into the quilt first, covered his head, and then insisted that Wang Xuan must hold his hand and could not let go.When someone stopped holding his hand, he was still shrinking, and fell asleep not long after.

He fell asleep, but little Wang Xuan didn't.He suddenly thought of his own mother. In his impression, she was very kind to him. When no one took him to the field, he would take him with him, and put him on the edge of the field, where there were trees in the field.When she finishes her work, she will come back together with herself.

I kept telling myself, don't make trouble with your father, your father is the one who wants to read.Wang Xuan never moved closer to his father.Thinking about what his father looked like now, he actually doesn't remember it anymore, he only remembers his tall and thin back, always dressed cleanly.

As for his mother, in fact, he almost forgot, Wang Xuan was very sad.

When Wang Xuan went to school the next day, he was listless and listless. Goudan said with an understanding look, "I know you're scared too. You go to bed first tonight, and I'll watch you sleep."

"Okay. Yawn." Wang Xuan didn't explain, and he didn't know why, this time it was Goudan who walked ahead holding Wang Xuan's hand.In the past, he was greedy for the fun of "learning", which caused his brain to be excited and went to bed late. This is how Wang Xuan led him away when he went to school in the morning and didn't wake up.I was worried that he would fall down while walking or accidentally got into the woods.

Wang Xuan also asked him to hold hands. The friends were used to it, and they didn't think it was strange. They always liked to play, and sometimes they walked behind each other for a while, and then changed back. It was a very normal game.So there is no objection between Goudan and Wang Xuan holding hands like this.

But if the two are boys and girls, they will definitely be laughed at as "little daughter-in-law" or "young couple", and there will be no such jokes for two boys.

Da Zhuang is in the second grade. He didn't come to school for three days. His homeroom teacher came to help Goudan and the others get homework when they were out of school. "I saw that you often played with Da Zhuang for a while, and you took it back. There was a piece of paper inside that marked which pages of the exercises in the textbook were homework for the past few days."

"Oh, okay." Goudan reluctantly caught it.

"Can't it work? You child, aren't you playmates together? Please help me."

The teacher touched the back of Goudan's head, it was round and convex, which was quite comfortable.

Goudan tilted his head, "Then let's go." He said and left directly. Wang Xuan said goodbye to the teacher behind him, and chased him away.

"Da Zhuang's teacher is so kind and gentle, why doesn't such a good teacher teach us? I heard that the older children in their class often made me cry a few times, and it would be better if he came over to scare them later. "

"No, we will be students in her class soon, and next time we will be promoted to the second grade." Thinking of this, Wang Xuan looked forward to it.

"Don't be beautiful. I heard that he is dating a postman at the post office. He will get married soon. How can he be your head teacher when he gets married?"

"Didn't you find out that the educated youth teacher stopped coming soon after getting married?" Goudan thought that female teachers were gentler than male teachers, and left after getting married.It's so irritating.

"I didn't say that I can't be a teacher anymore, it's just that I have a child and I have to rest for a while, and come back to class when her son is older."

"Really? Hmph, if he hadn't married an ugly monster, that old Chen wouldn't have been our homeroom teacher. Look, just this semester, how many people in our class would have punished him and kicked him?" He was punished. How many times have you stood up?Annoyed just thinking about it.

Others also agree with Goudan's words, they really hate the current homeroom teacher, the boys always have a special topic about the common enemy, and they all enthusiastically attack this annoying and fierce teacher.

When he returned to the village, Goudan took out Da Zhuang's homework, "Da Fu, isn't your house close to Da Zhuang's? Send it over by the way."

Dafu paused for a moment, and then said, "Okay, okay." Who made the two of them really neighbors, and Goudan asked him to help for this reason. "I'll go back and ask my grandma to deliver it."

"Then please, come and ask us to go to school together in the afternoon."

Goudan and Wang Xuan turned around and walked home. Wang Xuan saw that there was no one behind and said, "Brother Goudan, you just dare not go to Da Zhuang's house, right?"

"..."

Time flies in the summer, and autumn is coming to an end in a blink of an eye. The crops in this autumn are not bad or bad. In short, people in the village are struggling all year round. There is famine before the summer harvest, and before the autumn harvest. There is a famine, even before spring, and there is no time when you are not hungry.

Goudan and Wang Xuan have cooperated very tacitly. Goudan is in the second grade. Goudan is a little taller when he is eleven or twelve years old. The most important thing is that his skills have undergone another transformation. He is chasing after him in the forest It is rare to miss when it is a prey, of course it refers to small wild animals.They really dare not go to the deep mountains to deal with wild animals like boars.

This autumn, Goudan has brought home wild animals several times. With Wang Xuan's concocted drug and the help of the big boys and girls, the family's dried mouse meat is hung on the beams of the granary in strings.The food bags are almost empty, only the dried vegetables, radishes, and bamboo shoots that Wang Xuan has put in, and now there are still dried rat meat, a chicken and two dried rabbits hanging on the beams.If you don't look at anything else, just look at the jerky. Goudan's family is already very "rich" in the village.

Goudan means, eat meat as soon as you have it, and Li Si rarely expresses opinions on housework and is very persistent-then keep it for now.He gave an example, which family do you see eat meat every month?What a waste, it has to be dried and stored, and eaten slowly later.

He now also understands that his son is very talented in this area. He said, "there used to be an old hunter in the village. Every time he went into the mountain, he would never go empty-handed. We were young at that time and thought he was very good. If you have someone in the future I won't worry about it for a lifetime."

Goudan loves to eat meat the most. Every day when he sees those rats hanging on the beams of the house, he feels uncomfortable. He is not the type who loves to store up.

From then on, the two of them secretly roasted and ate what they had harvested outside, and put the excess in their treasures for storage. It was not easy to spoil anyway. Occasionally, they would bring home two or three small wild animals such as mice and squirrels.The rich nutrients and protein of the wild fruits and grass seeds that ripen in autumn nourish these prey.

As soon as Li Si saw that the things on the beams were not missing, and sometimes a little more, he was very satisfied, and his son still listened to him.Only when you know how to save, your home will gradually get better.Isn’t it the same for the landlord’s family in the past? Didn’t the descendants become rich through saving and accumulating from generation to generation?

The empty grain bags at home made him worry, but seeing the dried meat hanging up gave him some comfort.
