(fifty-two) father and son choke

After spring this year, the weather will be good, and the wheat harvest season will shine brightly again. For five or six days, our family of four got up early and went to bed late, day and night, cutting wheat, pulling wheat, fighting, threshing, drying, and completing it in one go. The person has a layer of skin and his waist is almost broken. However, looking at the two big pleated new wheat in the west room, thinking that there will be no shortage of food again next spring, the peace and comfort in his heart are indescribable, and happiness is overflowing on everyone's face.

It was gone in seven days, and I should go back to the factory to work tomorrow. My mother prepared dinner early. In order to reward everyone, she not only mixed cucumbers and tomatoes, cut two salted duck eggs from her own pickled house, but also specially fried a plate of dried green peppers and grilled fish. Finally, my mother asked her sister to open a convenience store at the entrance of the village accountant "Siyan" and bought half a pound of bulk "Laobaigan" (a bitter and strong soy wine brewed by sweet potato). Since the production team was no longer able to do so, "Siyan" opened this small shop at the entrance of the village. His mind was more flexible than others. He used to snatch collective money in the team, but now he has started to snatch money from his neighbors.

"It's time to eat." My mother happily greeted everyone to serve the table quickly with joy on her tired face.

"Here you." Dad put the tobacco pipe on his belt and rubbed his hands and walked over. He was now undoubtedly with an old man from the countryside.

"What's good to eat?" The little sister rushed over, rushed to the table, picked up the chopsticks and poked it into the plate.

"Wash your hands, it's a big girl's house, pay attention to hygiene." I yelled at the little sister. She glanced at me with her eyes and rubbed her hands on her pants like her father.

"Wash your hands and develop a good habit of hygiene." I refused to give in and continued to say to my sister.

Under my strict gaze, my sister stood up angrily, walked to the edge of the well platform, pressed her hands a few times to press the well, and when the water flowed out, she quickly reached out to her hand.

"You have entered the city and learned foreign problems." My mother complained to me when she saw her sister pouting.

"Daping is right. This is not a foreign problem. Paying attention to hygiene can prevent diseases. In the future, Sanping will develop the habit of hygiene." Dad glanced at his mother and affirmed my point of view for the first time.

"We haven't paid attention to it for so many years, and have we not seen any illness?" My mother swept away her might in front of me and muttered in a low voice.

"I didn't know that I was sick, that was a minor illness. When I got a serious illness, which one had you ever seen cured it? I really had long hair and short knowledge. When your father asked you to go to school, you couldn't go to school and didn't know anything. Fortunately, I just thought it was a bit unreasonable." Dad was a little angry and said with his neck straightened to teach a lesson.

"Okay, okay, I have long hair and short knowledge, and I can't compare to the people of you two in the city. I'm uncivilized and unhygienic. Nothing happened to you when you eat the food I cooked." My mother was so unhappy when she saw her father, so she quickly calmed down and pissed off.

The whole family sat around the yard, gnawing on the pancakes of new wheat and drinking mung bean porridge, quickly forgetting the unhappiness of the dispute. They all ate with each other, and their teeth were fragrant. My father even drank half a kilogram of "Lao Baigan" wine upwards.

While eating, I thought that the little sister would develop good hygiene habits, not only to wash her hands before meals, wash her face and feet before going to bed, but also to do a good job of personal hygiene and clean her lower body. This is what I occasionally heard a few little girls mutter privately when I was working in the factory. Of course, the most important thing is to hope that she can study hard. In the future, not to mention getting into college, she can become a civilized city person even if she was admitted to a technical secondary school.

Because I was thinking about things, everyone would have finished eating. The little sister was clamoring to go out to play. My mother agreed and tidyed up the dishes. After finishing all this, she led her sister out to visit her. My mother was lively, very lively, and loved to show off. In the more than a week of harvesting, she was probably a little frustrated and had long wanted to find someone to chat.

At noon, I put two buckets of well water in the yard. One afternoon the sun was exposed, and there was a warm sunshine. I tied the yard gate, took off all the shiny clothes, scooped up a large scoop of warm water, and poured myself thoroughly from head to toe. After erasing the fatigue of a few days, I changed into clean clothes, and I lay on the citron bed in the yard, looking up at the fire-like clouds in the west, and began to think about going back tomorrow.

Because my father had drunk wine, his cheeks were red on the stone mill opposite me. He whispered tobacco in his hand and chatted with me without saying a word. Since when, he no longer smoked cigarettes and started to pick up his long pipes like an old man in the countryside. My mother joked to me privately, "Your father is trying to save money and build a house for you to marry a wife." I felt that this was too ridiculous and disagreed with my mother.

"How did you do in the factory during this period?" Dad spitted the smoke in his mouth into a big smoke ring.

"It's pretty good." I said casually.

"Now, I'm relieved. Although Old Liu is a Southern barbarian, he is kind and has good skills. He is so strong that he is not as good as the arrogant Lu Yu." I felt that my father was probably drunk a little, and began to speak drunk unconsciously.

"Master Liu is pretty good, but Lu Yu is not bad either. He treats me well. He teaches me skills, protects me, and lends books to me." I don't know why, but I can't hear my father say that the master is bad.

"What do you know? Lu Yu is a young master. He has been pampered since he was a child. He went to the yarn mill after being in trouble. Sooner or later he will leave. He is not with us in his bones." His father was probably excited and choked by cigarettes, and he couldn't stop coughing.

"What does it have to do with me whether he leaves or not? I have learned a lot from him anyway." I thought of Yin Hong's words that she wanted to be transferred back to the area, and I choked with my father in annoyance.

"What did you learn? Just read some useless idle books?" Dad was very unhappy when he heard my words, but he did not scold me like before. After all, in his eyes, I really grew up.

"What's wrong with studying? Reading can change your destiny, and labor can create the future. This is what the book says. Just provide Sanping's study at home. In the future, you can get into a school and work in the city. You only have a successor indicator, and now I have taken over it. This is unfair to her." I said all the things I have been thinking about recently.

"I didn't expect that? You kid has become more vigorous these days in the city. Not only can you tell the big truth, but you are just a bunch of tricks. Your Uncle Cui is a person who is very smart and can speak. In the future, it's better if you can be half of him." Dad was inexplicably excited and raised the topics he said countless times, "To be honest, if you can become an electrician in the security class, we really need to thank you Uncle Cui."

I was very good at speaking, but when I heard my father mention Cui Laoba, I felt disgusted, especially when he whispered "Uncle Cui", which made me even more angry. I was so angry that I closed my mouth, looked at the sunset that faded to the west, and ignored my father.

"You Uncle Cui is really a person who is very particular and has great kindness to us." My father didn't notice the changes in my emotions, and continued to follow his own ideas, "Oh, by the way, Yin Hong is still living in a guesthouse, right?"

These days, I have been so tired that I have forgotten everything. At this moment, I calmed down and was mentioned by my father, and the resentment swelled up again. I closed my lips tightly and said nothing.

Dad knocked out the cigarette puddle in his hand, turned his face to look at me, and sighed helplessly: "You kid is really hard-working, and you can't even listen to your parents' words. We're all for your own good? Usually, you kid is so stupid, but you're actually a 'silly voice'. I don't know you yet..."

"What's wrong with me? I can't live there, what does it have to do with me? That was arranged by the factory office and Cui..., can I not let someone live there?"

I was originally unwilling to speak, but when my father was agitated, I almost told me "Old Cui". My father looked at me in surprise and suffocated for a long time before he said worriedly: "You kid, don't be stubborn, don't let anything go. Don't worry about it if it's not your own business. Listen to your Uncle Cui's fault more when it happens, so that you don't suffer any losses."

My mood was completely disturbed, and I couldn't help but sit up, and rolled over and got out of bed impatiently: "You Uncle Cui, your Uncle Cui, whose Uncle Cui is he? There are thousands of people in the factory, I am a primary school apprentice, where can I go to listen to him every day. Isn't this nonsense?"

"You..." My father couldn't find the words for a while because of my blow. Seeing me pulling my shoes towards the door, he was so angry that he was so angry that he came, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the thatched cottage." In the twilight, I replied resentfully.

"You kid doesn't like to listen, I have to tell you, don't be fooled by a woman, did you hear that?" Dad raised his voice and yelled behind me.

The crescent moon was still light and dull. I pulled up to the courtyard gate with a bang, completely isolated my father's nagging from the high courtyard wall. The threshing field at the entrance of the village was still brightly lit and the sound of machines was rumbling. Those were the last families who were catching lots, and they were still fighting at night.

I originally wanted to go to Ergoudan's house, but after a second thought, I stopped. After the boy had finished harvesting, he must have gone to Shandong, the mountain behind and went to sleep with his wife who had not passed the door. A fire of indescribable jealousy suddenly burst out from my heart. I couldn't help but think of Yin Hong again.
