Chapter 6 chapter Five

one When I play, except in the back garden, accompanied by my grandfather, the rest of the games are played by myself. I built a small cloth shed under the eaves myself, and slept in that cloth shed while playing. The windows of my house can be removed, but they cannot stand upright when they are removed, so they lean against the wall and stand obliquely, forming a small slope. I call this small slope a hut, and I often sleep in this hut I went inside. The yard of my house is full of wormwood, and many dragonflies are flying on the wormwood, and the dragonflies come for the Polygonum rhizoma.But I just like to catch it. When I got tired of catching it, I lay down in the wormwood and fell asleep.

There are clumps of celestial stars growing in the wormwood, like mountain grapes, which are very delicious. I searched and ate in the wormwood, and when I was sleepy, I slept next to the star seedlings. The wormwood is very thick, and it seems to be my mattress when I lie on it. The wormwood is very tall, and it shades me. One day, I was dreaming in the wormwood, it was before dinner in the afternoon, when the sun was westward.Probably I didn't sleep well, I seemed to hear a lot of people talking, talking and laughing somewhere, it seemed very lively.But what exactly happened, I couldn't hear clearly, I only felt it was on the southwest corner, or in the courtyard, or outside the courtyard.It is not clear whether it is inside or outside the courtyard.Anyway, there were a few people shouting together.

I fell asleep and listened for a while, and then I couldn't hear it again.I probably fell asleep. When I woke up and went back to the house, the old cook was the first to tell me: The reunion daughter-in-law of Lao Hu's family is here, you don't know it yet, go and watch it after dinner! The old cook was very busy today, and he walked into the house with a plate of cucumber dishes in his hand. Because he was gesticulating with me, he almost didn't drop the plate on the floor, but only overturned the shredded cucumbers. As soon as I walked into my grandfather's house, only my grandfather was sitting in front of the dining table. The food on the table was all set, but no one was eating. Neither my mother nor my father came to eat, nor did my second uncle.As soon as my grandfather saw me, my grandfather asked me:

How about the reunion daughter-in-law? Probably my grandfather thought I was coming back to see my daughter-in-law after a reunion.I said I didn't know, I ate the stars from the grass. grandfather said: Your mother and the others have all gone to see the reunion daughter-in-law, that is, the old Hu's house of the great dancing god. As the grandfather spoke, he called the old cook and asked him to bring the cucumber dish quickly. Cucumber shreds mixed with vinegar, topped with chili oil, red and green, must have been re-cut by the old cook, and that plate was scattered on the ground before my eyes.

When my grandfather saw that the cucumber dish was coming, he said: Let's eat quickly, let's go to see the reunion daughter-in-law after dinner. The old cook stood beside him, wiping the sweat off his face with his apron. Every time he spoke, he rolled his eyes and sprayed saliva from his mouth.He said: How many talents are there to see the reunion daughter-in-law!The second wife of the grain and rice shop also went with their children.Xiao Mazi from the backyard also went, and many people from Lao Yang's house in the west courtyard also came, all jumping over the wall. He said he saw it while drawing water from the edge of the well.

Puzzled by him, I said: Grandpa, I won't eat anymore, I want to see the reunion daughter-in-law. Grandpa must let me eat, he said he would take me there after dinner.I was so anxious that I didn't eat a good meal.I have never seen the reunion daughter-in-law, I thought the reunion daughter-in-law didn't know how beautiful it is!The more I think about it, the more I feel that it must be very good-looking, and the more I worry, the more I feel that it must be very good-looking.Otherwise, why would everyone watch it?Otherwise, why didn't mother come back for dinner? The more I think about it, the more anxious I become. I must have watched all the good shows.If you go now, you can still see a little bit, if you go later, it may be too late.I urged my grandfather.

Eat it, eat it, eat it, grandpa. The old cook was still talking nonsense, and the grandfather asked him a few words now and then. I saw that old cook interrupting my grandfather's meal, so I didn't let the old cook talk.The old cook didn't listen, but said with a smile.I went down to the ground and pushed the old cook out. Grandpa hadn't finished eating yet, and the old Zhou family's Wednesday milk came again. She said that her cock always ran towards me, and she came to catch the cock.The rooster has been caught, but she still hasn't left. She is still talking to her grandfather through the glass window. She said:

The little reunion daughter-in-law of Lao Hu's family is here, hasn't your old man gone to see it yet?There are so many people watching, I haven't gone yet, I will go after dinner. Grandpa also said that he would go after eating, but he couldn't finish his meal.I will order chili oil for a while, and salty noodles for a while.I think not only I am anxious, but also the old cook is extremely anxious.His head was sweating and his eyes were blinking. As soon as my grandfather put down his job, I didn't even let him light a bag of cigarettes, so I dragged him to the southwest corner.

While walking, regretting in my heart, seeing some people who watched the excitement come back.Why must I wait for my grandfather?Wouldn't he have come running alone?What's more, I feel that I have heard movement here since I was lying in the grass.The more I think about it, the more I regret it. This matter has been going on for a long time. It must be that the good things are over, and it must be too late.It's white, I can't see anything, Cao Kezi heard the jokes here, why didn't he just run to see it immediately?The more I think about it, the more I regret it.I was angry with myself, and when I got to the window of Lao Hu's house, I heard that there was no sound at all.I almost cried out of breath.

When I actually entered the house, it was not the same thing at all. My mother, grandma on Wednesday, and some people who didn’t recognize me were all there. It was completely different from what I imagined. There was nothing to see. Where is the reunion wife?I can't see it either, I only saw it after being pointed out by others.Not a daughter-in-law, but a little girl. When I saw it, I was not interested, so I took my grandfather and walked outside, saying: Grandpa go home. When she came out to pour the washing water the next morning, I saw her. Her hair is black and long, and she wears a big braid. The braids of ordinary girls are as long as the waist, but her braids are almost to the knees.Her face was dark and flickering, and she was smiling.

The people in the yard have nothing to dissatisfy after seeing the reunion daughter-in-law of Lao Hu's family.But it is said that it is too generous, not like a reunion daughter-in-law. Grandma on Wednesday said: I don't know how to be ashamed when I meet people. Mrs. Yang from the next courtyard said: Then don't be ashamed!The first day I came to my in-law's house, I ate three bowls for dinner. Grandma on Wednesday said again: yo yo!I've never seen it before, let alone a reunion daughter-in-law, just saying that she was surnamed by someone's surname as soon as she entered the door, and she had to see her face for the first two days.yo yo!Such a big girl.She is in her teens this year? I heard you are fourteen years old! To grow so tall at the age of fourteen must be hiding his age. Don't say it!There are also early ones. But how can they sleep at home? No, there are only three small kangs for three generations, old and young. This is what Mrs. Yang told Grandma Wednesday while standing on the wall. As for my family, my mother also said that the reunion daughter-in-law was not like a reunion daughter-in-law. The old cook said: I've never seen it before, she looks big and big, and her eyes are rolling around. A second uncle said: Jie (this) year is what year, the reunion daughter-in-law is not like a reunion daughter-in-law anymore. It's just that my grandfather didn't say anything, and I asked my grandfather: How about the reunion daughter-in-law? grandfather said: Weird. So I also feel weird. She led her horse to the well to drink water every day. I saw her several times, but no one introduced her. When she saw me, she laughed, and when I saw her, she laughed too.I asked her teens?she says: Twelve years old. I say no. You are fourteen years old, people say you are fourteen years old. she says: They saw that I was tall, and they said that I was twelve years old and they were afraid of being laughed at, so they asked me to say that I was fourteen years old. I don't know why people make jokes about being tall. I asked her: You go to play in our grass! she says: If I don't go, they won't let me. two After a few days, the family started a fight to reunite with the daughter-in-law. The fight was so fierce that the screams could be heard no matter how far away. The whole yard is full of families without children, and I have never heard anyone crying. As a result, the neighbors began to discuss again, saying that they should have called a long time ago, and there is such a reunion daughter-in-law who is not shy at all, sitting there sitting upright, and walking quickly. Her mother-in-law was drinking horses by the well, and said to Grandma Wednesday: Give her a slap in the face.Listen, I have to beat her when I go back, this little reunion daughter-in-law is amazing!I haven't seen it before, if you pinch her thigh, she will bite you; otherwise, she will say she is going home. From then on, in the yard of my house, there were crying sounds every day. The crying sound was very loud, crying and screaming. Grandpa went to Lao Hu's house to tell them a few times, telling them not to beat her; he said that children, if you know something, if you make a mistake, you can just teach it. Later, the beating became more and more severe, regardless of day or night. I slept until midnight and when I woke up to read poems with my grandfather, I heard crying in the southwest corner. I asked my grandfather: Is it the little reunion daughter-in-law crying? My grandfather was afraid that I would be afraid, so he said: No, it's someone outside the courtyard. I asked my grandfather: Why are you crying in the middle of the night? grandfather said: Never mind that, read poetry. I woke up early in the morning, and when I was thinking about Chunmian and didn't realize the dawn, the cry from the southwest corner came again. I have been crying for a long time, and in winter, the crying is considered to be gone. three Although I stopped crying, the big god danced from the southwest corner every night, beating the drums, and jingling; remember. What little spirit flower, why the Hu family asked her to go out on a horse. Almost every day the great god sings something about this. When I wake up in the morning, I will imitate and sing: Little Spirit Flower, the Hu family let her go out And jingling, jingling, using sound to simulate drumming. The little spirit flower is the little girl; the Hu family is the Hu Xian; the Hu Xian is the vixen; The great god has been dancing for almost a whole winter, and the little reunion daughter-in-law jumped out of the problem. That little reunion daughter-in-law is a little yellow, not as dark as when she first came in Xia Tian.But still laughing. My grandfather took me to that house to visit, and the little reunion daughter-in-law also came to fill a bag of cigarettes for my grandfather. When she saw me, she still smiled secretly, probably because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would see her, so she didn't talk to me. Her braids are still huge.Her mother-in-law said that she was sick, and Tiaoshen cast out ghosts for her. When her grandfather came out, her mother-in-law followed her and whispered to her grandfather: This reunion daughter-in-law, I'm afraid it will be bad, she is next to Hu Xian, and Hu Xian wants her to go out Grandpa wanted them to move.But there is a rule in the place of Hulan River, spring is to move in February, autumn is to move in August. Once February and August are over, it's not time to move. Whenever we wake up Tiaoshen in the middle of the night, my grandfather would say: Let them move next February. I have heard my grandfather say this several times. When I imitated the Great God and sang the Little Spirit Flower, my grandfather also said the same thing, let them move in February next year. Four But during this period, the southwestern corner of the yard became more and more noisy.Invite a big god, invite several two gods, and the drums are ringing. Said that if the little Tuanyuan daughter-in-law went to let her go out again, her life would be in danger.So a lot of two gods were invited to try to get her back from the great god. So many people gave advice to his family, how can people refuse to save him?So all kind-hearted people help out.He said he had a folk prescription, and she said she had an evil order. Some suggested that she should be tied with a straw man and burned in Nandakeng. Some people advocate going to the color-making shop to make a paper doll, called a substitute, and burn it or replace her. Some advocated painting her face, inviting the great god to his home, and letting the great god see her. If he thinks she is too ugly, maybe he will not arrest her as a disciple, so that he doesn't have to go out. On Wednesday, grandma advocated giving her a whole-feather chicken, including the feathers and legs, and choosing a night when the stars were full, and covering the person with a quilt after eating, making her sweat profusely.Until the next morning the rooster crowed, and then let her out of the quilt.She ate the chicken, and she sweated again, so there was always a chicken in her soul, and gods, ghosts, and ghosts and immortals would not dare to touch her body.Legend has it that ghosts are afraid of chickens. According to Grandma on Wednesday, her great-grandmother was caught by Hu Xian. After three years of trouble, she almost survived, and finally she was cured with this method.Therefore, I will no longer suffer from other diseases in my life.She was having a nightmare in the middle of the night, and she was frightened to death. The chicken in her soul helped her, and woke up from the nightmare with only one crow.She has never been sick in her life.Strange to say, even when she died, she died extraordinary. She was already eighty-two years old when she died.At the age of eighty-two, she can still embroider with flower thread, and she is embroidering the mouth of her little grandson.While embroidering, she became a little sleepy. She sat on the wooden bench and took a nap with her back against the door.This nap is dead. Others asked grandma on Wednesday: Did you see that? she says: It's not that you listen to me, you can't press the button after three days and three nights of death.Later, there was nothing I could do, and I made a coffin for her and sat down. When I put her in the coffin, her face was flushed, and she was still alive. Someone asked her: Did you see that? she says: yo yo!It's strange that you're asking, if you pass on the word, how much can anyone see in a lifetime, don't they all pass on the word! She was a little unhappy. Besides, Mrs. Yang in the west courtyard also has a folk prescription. She said two liang of coptis and half a catty of pork. She chopped the coptis and pork, baked them with tiles, pressed them into noodles, wrapped them in red paper and divided them into five Pack it up.Eat one pack at a time to treat convulsions and lose your soul. This method is actually simple.Although the illness suffered by the reunion daughter-in-law is not convulsions and loss of soul, it seems that there is something wrong with the medicine.But you might as well give it a try, fortunately, it's just two liang of coptis and half a catty of pork.What's more, in the place of Hulan River, there are often cheap pork.Although the pork is afraid that it is a plague pig, it is a bit unreliable.But it's healing, not eating, so what does it matter. Go, buy half a catty, and give her a cure. There is an approving one next to it saying: Anyway, it can't be cured and it can't be cured. Her mother-in-law also said: Anyway, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse! So the reunion daughter-in-law first ate half a catty of pork and two taels of coptis. This medicine was baked for her by her mother-in-law.But the pork was cut by his grandson and daughter-in-law.Although the pork was purple and green, there was a piece in the middle that was very red, so the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law secretly kept this piece, because she thought, grandma and mother-in-law didn’t buy a little meat in four or five months Yet?So she secretly ordered a bowl of noodle soup for grandma and mother-in-law. Grandma asked: But where is the meat from? The grandson's daughter-in-law said: You old man can eat it, anyway, it is made by grandson and daughter-in-law for you. The mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law built tiles in the stove pit to bake her medicine.While baking, he said: This is half a catty of pork, not one piece is missing The more it is roasted, the more fragrant the pork will be. A kitten smelled the scent and came over, wanting to grab a paw on the roasted meat. As soon as it stretched out its paw, the mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law hit it with her hand. The cat, while saying: Is this what you can move your claws too!You are a glutton, he is treating a disease, it is half a catty of pork, do you want to take a bite too?If you take this mouthful, the other person's illness can't be cured.A person is going to die on your body, you don't know what to do.This is a whole half a catty of meat, no more, no less. After the medicine was baked, it was crushed and given to the reunion daughter-in-law with water. I took two sachets a day, and I only took it for one day. The next morning, before I took any more medicine, there were still three sachets on the Stove Lord's board, and those who passed on the folk prescription came again. Some said, how can Coptis chinensis be eaten?Coptis chinensis is a great herbal medicine. For a person like her who suffers from sweating, eating Coptis chinensis will drain her vitality. If a person loses her vitality, is it okay? Yet another said: That can't be eaten!If you eat it for two days, you will die. The mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law said: So what to do? The man hurriedly asked: Have you eaten yet? As soon as the mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law spoke, she was covered by his family's smart grandson and daughter-in-law, saying: Didn't eat, didn't eat, didn't eat. The man said: Since you didn't eat, it doesn't matter. It's true that your old Hu's family is blessed with auspicious stars, and your family almost lost their lives. So he gave another recipe. According to him, this recipe is no longer a recipe. Even Mr. Li Yongchun Medicine Shop on Dongerdao Street often uses this recipe. .No matter male, female, old or young, one eats one.No matter what kind of disease, headache, foot pain, stomach pain, internal organs pain, falls, blows, knife wounds, sores, boils, boils No matter what the disease is, the medicine will cure the disease. What kind of medicine is this?The more people heard about the efficacy of this medicine, the more they wanted to know what kind of medicine it was. He said: The old people ate it, dazzled, and returned to their youth. Young people eat it, and their strength is so great that they can move Mount Tai. When women eat it, they can look like peach blossoms without using rouge powder. Children who eat it can draw a bow at the age of eight, shoot arrows at the age of nine, and become champions at the age of twelve. At first, the whole family of Lao Hu's family was alarmed by it, but later they heard it farther and farther away.It turns out that Lao Hu's family has always been a family that drives carts and hitches horses, and has never been the champion. The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law let some onlookers get out of the way, and she went to the comb box and took out a thrush wicker charcoal. she says: Please give us the prescription quickly, so that we can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine early. The person who dispensed the prescription was originally the cook of Li Yongchun's pharmacy.I left Li Yongchun's place three years ago.Three years ago, he was hanging out with a woman, and the woman abandoned him and took away the little money he had accumulated in half his life, so he became half crazy in a fit of anger.Although he is a half-lunatic, he has not completely forgotten the name of the medicine he remembered from Li Yongchun. He couldn't write, so he said with his mouth: Two qian of plantain seed, two qian of angelica, two qian of raw land, and two qian of saffron.Chuan Fritillaria two coins, Atractylodes macrocephala two coins, Polygala two coins, Zihe Che two coins As he talked, he seemed to be unable to remember. He was so anxious that the top of his head sweated, and he opened his mouth to say two catties of brown sugar, and it was over. After finishing speaking, he begged for a drink with others. If you have wine, give me two cups to drink. Everyone in Hulanhe knew about this half-madness, only Lao Hu's family didn't.Because Lao Hu's family is an outsider, they were deceived by him.There was no wine at home, so I gave him two dongs for wine.That prescription was totally useless, it was the result of his random nonsense for a while. The illness of Tuanyuan's daughter-in-law is getting worse day by day. According to his family members, when she sleeps at night, she will suddenly sit up.She will be scared when she sees people.Her eyes were always full of tears.This reunion daughter-in-law probably has to go out.If she is not allowed to go out, probably people will not get better. As soon as this kind of legend was spread, neighbors to the east and west all went to suggest it, and they all said that it would be possible to see death without saving it? Some said, just let her go out.Some said that it is better not to start.If you go out at a young age, you will be able to reach the end of what you can get in this life. Her mother-in-law absolutely disapproved of going out, she said: Everyone, don't make a mistake, thinking that I spent some money when I ordered this daughter-in-law, and I won't let her go, as if I don't want to part with the money.I also thought the same way, when a small person has gone out of his way, when will this life come to an end. So everyone advocated that it is better not to go out of the way, and those who think of folk remedies, please ask the great gods, and all kinds of talents gather together, saying that the east is good, and the west is good.So came a draw. He said that he came from a long distance, and he came from the countryside.He heard that a reunion daughter-in-law from the old Hu family in the city fell ill shortly after her arrival.No matter how many famous doctors and immortals he passed, he couldn't cure him, so he came here to take a look, in case it was needed, it would be good to save a life. That being said, I am very grateful.So let him go into the house and sit on the edge of the kang of grandma and mother-in-law.Pour him a glass of water and fill him with a bag of cigarettes. The eldest grandson and daughter-in-law came first and said: My younger brother and sister are twelve years old. Because she is too tall, she is said to be fourteen years old.Talking and laughing, all diseases are free.Since it was brought to our home, it has become yellow and thin day by day.Recently, I don't want to drink water, don't want to eat food, and open my eyes when I sleep, startled.I have eaten all kinds of folk remedies and burned all kinds of incense.It's all bad Before the grandson and daughter-in-law finished speaking, the mother-in-law went on to say: When she came to my house, I didn't give her any anger. The reunion daughter-in-law of that family was not angry. She was beaten eight times a day and scolded three times.But I also hit her, that is I want to give her a blow.I only beat her for more than a month. Although I said that I beat her a little bit hard, if I don't beat her hard, I can make a good person.I also didn't want to beat her hard. I beat her until she screamed. I was thinking of her. If I didn't beat her hard, she wouldn't be useful.A few times, I hung her on the girder, and let her uncle beat her several times with a leather whip. The beating was so severe that she passed out.But after only passing out a bag of cigarettes, cold water was poured over her.It was a bit hard, and the whole body was blacked out, and there was also some blood.But immediately beat the egg and rubbed it on her.It didn't swell too much, that's about ten days and a half months.This child also has a very hard mouth. As soon as I hit her, she said she wanted to go home.I asked her: Where is your home?Isn't this your home?She just doesn't say that.She said go back to her home.I was even angrier when I heard it.People can still control this and that when they are angry, so I also branded the soles of her feet with a red-hot soldering iron.Who knows, maybe I knocked her out of her mind, maybe I scared her out of her mind, once she said she was going home, I didn't have to beat her, I just said to see you go home, I used a rope Chains lock you up.She screamed in fright.Daxian's family also looked at it and said they wanted her to help.A reunion daughter-in-law also costs a lot. You see, when I ordered her when she was eight years old, it cost 8 taels of silver. Every year, she was paid for the hair rope and shoe uppers, and now she is picked up from Liaoyang by train. Come, the fare for this journey.When you come here, you will pray to God today, watch incense tomorrow, and eat folk remedies for a few days.If the more you eat, the better, then that's fine.But everything is not going well, who knows what will happen in the future The post-drawer who came from thousands of miles away was dignified and serious, and he was dressed in a blue robe and a cotton-padded jacket.On the head is a four-happiness hat with long ears.Make people respect him as a teacher when they see him. So grandma and mother-in-law also said: Quickly draw a post for my second grandson and daughter-in-law to see how her numerology is. Looking at the posts, he found that the family was sincere, so he took off the leather ear hat from his head. Once the hat was taken off, everyone could see that the man had curly hair on his head and was wearing a Daoist hat.One can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person in the market.Someone was about to ask, but before he could open his mouth, he said that he was a Taoist on a certain mountain, and that he came down to Mount Tai in Shandong. Who knew that the road was full of twists and turns, and there was no way to go, so he ended up living here in Hulan Around the river, it has been less than half a year. People asked him, since he was a Taoist, why he didn't wear Taoist clothes.He replied: How do you know that there are three hundred and sixty deeds in the world, each with its own suffering.The police in this place are very powerful. As soon as he saw through the Taoist's clothes, he would ask questions.Those apostates have nothing to say, they arrest them whenever they say they want, and they take them when they say they want. He also has an alias, called Yunyou Daoist, he said that when it comes to Yunyou Daoist, everyone knows it.No matter what kind of illness or good or bad, if you twitch his post, life and death will be decided.He said that his method of posting was passed down by Zhang Tianshi. He didn't have many posts, only four. He fumbled out one by one from the pocket of his clothes, and found that one post was wrapped in red paper, another post was still wrapped in red paper, and the fourth post was also wrapped in red paper. It is wrapped in red paper. He said that there were no words or pictures under the post.There is only one packet of medicinal noodles inside, one packet of red, one packet of green, one packet of blue, and one packet of yellow.The yellow one means gold and wealth, and the red one means youthful beauty.It's not so good to get the green one, the green one is the will-o'-the-wisp.It's not very good to get the blue one, the blue one is the iron face Lanqing, Zhang Tianshi said, iron face Lanqing, if you don't die, you will see the king of Hades. After the person who draws the stickers reads a set, he asks the relatives of the patients to stretch out their hands to draw. The mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law thought that this was simple and easy, and she wanted to quickly pull out a post to see if it was destined to be dead or alive, she could probably figure it out.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the real Yunyou said: Ten hanging coins per post, if you smoke blue ones, if you don't like it, you can draw again, ten hanging coins per post When the mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law heard this, she suddenly realized that it was not a free draw. Ten slings of money a piece is not for fun. One sling of money to pick up tofu can pick up 20 yuan.Pick up a piece of tofu in three days, twenty yuan, two three makes six, and there will be tofu for sixty days.If you pick up one piece every ten days and three pieces a month, you will have no shortage of tofu for half a year.She thought again, one piece of tofu every three days, there are such wasteful people.According to her, just pick up a piece of tofu a month and let everyone taste it. In that case, 20 pieces of tofu, one piece a month, can be eaten for 20 months. These 20 months are one and a half years plus two months. If you don't buy tofu, if you raise a small fat pig, feed it carefully, feed it fat, and feed it for five or six months, how much is it?Hey, one year, that's 1,800 hangs Besides, if you don’t buy pigs, you can buy chickens. The chickens worth ten shillings are about ten. One year’s chickens can lay eggs in the second year. How much is an egg!Let’s just say we don’t sell eggs, let’s just exchange eggs for vegetables. The vegetables bought by an egg are enough to feed three generations of old and young for a day. Besides, chickens can lay eggs, and eggs can also produce chickens. If the cycle continues like this forever, isn’t it? Are there countless chickens and countless eggs?Have you not made a fortune? But she didn't think so. She didn't care if she had enough to eat, or enough to wear.To be frugal and simple for a lifetime, it is enough to save more or less.Although she loves money, she would never dare to make her rich. That's a lot!There are too many to count.I can't even remember.If the chicken gave birth to the egg, and the egg gave birth to the chicken, what would happen? Wouldn’t there be as many chickens as ants?If you look at it, you will be dazzled, and if you are dazzled, you will have a headache. The mother-in-law of this reunion daughter-in-law also raised chickens before, but she raised ten dongs of money.She doesn't raise too much, and she doesn't raise too little.Ten hanging money is her ideal.She bought twelve small chickens for ten tangs, and she thought: This is just right, no matter how much it is, I am afraid of losing it, and no matter how little it is, it is not enough for ten tangs. As soon as she bought the little chickens that had just hatched from the eggshell, she looked at them one by one, not wanting this one, not that one.I don't want the ones with black claws, I don't want the ones with flower arms, and I don't want the ones with dots on the forehead.She said that her mother just knew how to watch chickens, so she really raised chickens all her life!Raise every year, but not too much.But I have never missed a needle or a thread all my life, and I have spent money throughout the year, all in exchange for eggs.Those eyes of hers are really discerning. What kind of chickens live a short life and what kind of chickens live a long life, you can't escape her old man's eyes just by looking at them.It is said that this kind of chicken lays big eggs, and that kind of chicken lays small eggs, she knew it in her heart when she saw it. While she was buying chickens, she resented that she was useless, thinking why she didn't learn from her mother back then!well!Young people will worry about future affairs.As she bought it, she sighed.Although she has put a lot of thought into the choice of this little chicken, it can be said that she has no choice.The chicken seller had more than two hundred chickens in total, and she had selected them all, but whether the ones she selected were all the best ones, she was still not sure about this point. She raises chickens very carefully. She is afraid that cats will eat them and mice will bite them.When she saw the chick, when she took a nap during the day, she drove the flies away. She was afraid that the flies would wake the chick up, so she let it sleep for a while. She was afraid that the chick would not get enough sleep. A mosquito had bitten a scar, and as soon as she found it, she soaked mugwort water and rubbed it on the chicken.She said that if you don't rub it in time, it will be a rooster in the future and it will not grow up, and it will be a hen and will lay small eggs.A small egg is exchanged for two pieces of tofu, and a large egg is exchanged for three pieces of tofu. This is the hen.Besides the rooster, the rooster is a one-size-fits-all dish, whoever kills the chicken does not want to kill the fat one.Cockerels are not easy to sell. When her chickens were a little older and able to go out of the house and find food by themselves in the yard, she dyed them six red and six green.It's all on the forehead. As for where to dye the color, you have to see where the neighbors are dyed first, and then you can decide.The neighbor's chicken dyed the color on the tip of the bladder, so she dyed it on the forehead.If the neighbor's stain is on the forehead, then she will be stained on the stomach.Everyone should not be dyed in one place, how can we recognize the dyed in one place?Your family ran to my house, and my family ran to your house, so wouldn't there be chaos again? The chickens are very beautiful when they are dyed with red foreheads and green foreheads, as if they are all wearing flowered hats.It seems that instead of raising chickens, it seems that they are raising children. The mother-in-law of this reunion daughter-in-law once said when she was raising chickens: Raising chickens is more delicate than raising children. Whose family’s children just throw them aside and grow up by themselves, bitten by mosquitoes, bedbugs, whatever, the children of that family don’t have any scars or boils on their bodies.Children without scars and boils are not easy to feed, and they all have a short life. According to her, she didn't have many children in her life, and even though this son was rare, he had never been pampered.Up to now, there are more than 20 scars on his body. she says: If you don't believe me, I took off my clothes and showed the big guys the scars on the child's body. There are scars of all sizes, and there is also a scar that is as big as the mouth of a bowl.It's not that I have never pampered my children.Apart from the fact that he himself fell down, I also got several scars from beating him with a stick.Feeding children is not feeding chickens and ducks!To feed a chick, if you don’t raise it well, it won’t lay eggs.For one egg, three pieces of tofu are exchanged for the big one, and two pieces of tofu are exchanged for the small one. Is it a joke?This is no joke. Once, her son trampled a chick to death, and she beat her son for three days and three nights. She said: Why don't I hit him?One egg is three pieces of tofu, and chickens are made from eggs!If you want to turn into a chicken, you have to have an egg. Can half an egg do it?Not only half an egg is not acceptable, but even half eggs are not acceptable, bad eggs are not acceptable, and stale eggs are not acceptable.One chicken needs one egg, so what is one chicken but three pieces of tofu?He stepped on three pieces of tofu on the bottom of his feet, what a crime, if he is not beaten, how can he not be beaten?The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and when I thought about it, I hit him, no matter whether it was day or night, I beat him for three days.Later, I got sick. In the middle of the night, I cried when I was sleeping soundly.But I didn't take him seriously, so I knocked on the door frame with a rice spoon and called him a ghost.Just ignore him. She hasn't raised chickens for many years. Since ordering this reunion daughter-in-law, she has spent all the needlework money she saved.Not to mention, you still have to pay for the headband every year, and the person who carries the money for the legs will take it to someone. One time a year, it has been extremely tight in the past few years.I wanted to raise a few chickens, but I didn't do so. Now the real Yunyou who draws posts is sitting in front of her eyes, and each post is worth ten hanging coins.If you don't mention the money first, let her draw the posts first, and then ask for money after the draw is over, then it is finally a draw without spending money.But why not first, the person who drew the post mentioned ten hanging coins before the post was allowed to be drawn. So the mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law felt that if she stretched out her hand, she would get ten ounces of money, and if she opened her mouth, she would get ten ounces of money.Isn't this seeing money flying out? This is not flying, what is this doing, there is no sound at all, and there is no shadow at all.It's not as good as crossing a river, throwing money into the river, throwing money into the river, and hearing a sound and making a bubble.There is no price for this, it is like losing the money in a faint, or meeting a robber and robbing the money alive. The mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law almost shed tears because of the anger in her heart.She thought about ten hanging money for one post, and this and that are drawing posts, this is money. So she withdrew her outstretched hand.She hurried to the washbasin and washed her hands. This is no joke, it's ten tangs!After washing her hands, she knelt down to Lord Stove and prayed again.Only after the prayers are over can the posts be drawn. She smoked a green one in the first post, the green one is not very good, the green one is the will-o'-the-wisp.She smoked it again, and this post was even worse. It turned out to be the worst post, the one with the blue powder wrapped in it. The mother-in-law of the reunion daughter-in-law saw that both posts were broken, and she should have cried with her head in her arms, but she didn't.Ever since the reunion daughter-in-law became seriously ill, there were long stories, short stories, dead stories, and live stories.In addition, she has already seen a lot of things in the world by inviting Hu Xian, dancing to the gods, and haunting ghosts.Although I am happy to say yes, I am not so sad when I say that I will see the King of Hades. It seems that I will never see him for a while. So she asked that real Yunyou, the two draws were not good.Can you think of a way to break it?Yunyou Daoist said: Bring pen and ink. Her family didn't even have a pen, so the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law went to the grain and rice shop next to the gate hole to borrow it. The Shandong female owner of the grain and rice shop asked her in Shandong dialect: What do you do at home? The grandson's daughter-in-law said: Draw illnesses for younger siblings. The lady boss said: Your brothers and sisters, this disease is quite serious, is it better now? 大孫子媳婦本想端著硯台，拿著筆就跑，可是人家關心，怎好不答，於是去了好幾袋煙的工夫，還不見回來。 等她抱了硯台回來的時候，那雲遊真人，已經把紅紙都撕好了。於是拿起筆來，在他撕好的四塊紅紙上，一塊上邊寫了一個大字，那紅紙條也不過半寸寬，一寸長。他寫的那字大得都要從紅紙的四邊飛出來了。 這四個字，他家本沒有識字的人，灶王爺上的對聯還是求人寫的。一模一樣，好像一母所生，也許寫的就是一個字。大孫子媳婦看看不認識，奶奶婆婆看看也不認識。雖然不認識，大概這個字一定也壞不了，不然，就用這個字怎麼能破開一個人不見閻王呢？於是都一齊點頭稱好。 那雲遊真人又命拿漿糊來。她們家終年不用漿糊，漿糊多麼貴，白麵十多吊錢一斤。都是用黃米飯粒來黏鞋面的。 大孫子媳婦到鍋裏去鏟了一塊黃黏米飯來。雲遊真人，就用飯粒貼在紅紙上了。於是掀開團圓媳婦蒙在頭上的破棉襖，讓她拿出手來，一個手心上給她貼一張。又讓她脫了襪子，一隻腳心上給她貼上一張。 雲遊真人一見，腳心上有一大片白色的疤痕，他一想就是方才她婆婆所說的用烙鐵給她烙的。可是他假裝不知，問說： 這腳心可是生過什麼病症嗎？ 團圓媳婦的婆婆連忙就接過來說： 我方才不是說過嗎，是我用烙鐵給她烙的。那裏會見過的呢？走道像飛似的，打她，她記不住，我就給她烙一烙。好在也沒什麼，小孩子肉皮活，也就是十天半月的下不來地，過後也就好了。 那雲遊真人想了一想，好像要嚇唬她一下，就說這腳心的疤，雖然是貼了紅帖，也怕貼不住，閻王爺是什麼都看得見的，這疤怕是就給了閻王爺以特殊的記號，有點不大好辦。 雲遊真人說完了，看一看她們怕不怕，好像是不怎樣怕。於是他就說得嚴重一些： 這疤不掉，閻王爺在三天之內就能夠找到她，一找到她，就要把她活捉了去的。剛才的那帖是再準也沒有的了，這紅帖也絕沒有用處。 他如此的嚇唬著她們，似乎她們從奶奶婆婆到孫子媳婦都不大怕。那雲遊真人，連想也沒有想，於是開口就說： 閻王爺不但要捉團圓媳婦去，還要捉了團圓媳婦的婆婆去，現世現報，拿烙鐵烙腳心，這不是虐待，這是什麼，婆婆虐待媳婦，做婆婆的死了下油鍋，老胡家的婆婆虐待媳婦 他就越說越聲大，似乎要喊了起來，好像他是專打抱不平的好漢，而變了他原來的態度了。 一說到這裏，老胡家的老少三輩都害怕了，毛骨悚然，以為她家裏又是撞進來了什麼惡魔。而最害怕的是團圓媳婦的婆婆，嚇得亂哆嗦，這是多麼駭人聽聞的事情，虐待媳婦世界上能有這樣的事情嗎？ 於是團圓媳婦的婆婆趕快跪下了，面向著那雲遊真人，眼淚一對一雙的往下落： 這都是我一輩子沒有積德，有孽遭到兒女的身上，我哀告真人，請真人誠心的給我化散化散，借了真人的靈法，讓我的媳婦死裏逃生吧。 那雲遊真人立刻就不說見閻王了，說她的媳婦一定見不了閻王，因為他還有一個辦法一辦就好的；說來這法子也簡單得很，就是讓團圓媳婦把襪子再脫下來，用筆在那疤痕上一畫，閻王爺就看不見了。當場就脫下襪子來在腳心上畫了。一邊畫著還嘴裏嘟嘟的念著咒語。這一畫不知費了多大力氣，旁邊看著的人倒覺十分的容易，可是那雲遊真人卻冒了滿頭的汗，他故意的咬牙切齒，皺面瞪眼。這一畫也並不是容易的事情，好像他在上刀山似的。 畫完了，把錢一算，抽了兩帖二十吊。寫了四個紅紙貼在腳心手心上，每帖五吊是半價出售的，一共是四五等於二十吊。外加這一畫，這一畫本來是十吊錢，現在就給打個對折吧，就算五吊錢一隻腳心，一共畫了兩隻腳心，又是十吊。 二十吊加二十吊，再加十吊。一共是五十吊。 雲遊真人拿了這五十吊錢樂樂呵呵的走了。 團圓媳婦的婆婆，在她剛要抽帖的時候，一聽每帖十吊錢，她就心痛得了不得，又要想用這錢養雞，又要想用這錢養豬。等到現在五十吊錢拿出去了，她反而也不想雞了，也不想養豬了。因為她想，來到臨頭，不給也是不行了。帖也抽了，字也寫了，要想不給人家錢也是不可能的了。事到臨頭，還有什麼辦法呢？別說五十吊，就是一百吊錢也得算著嗎？不給還行嗎？ 於是她心安理得的把五十吊錢給了人家了。這五十吊錢，是她秋天出城去在豆田裏拾黃豆粒，一共拾了二升豆子賣了幾十吊錢。在田上拾黃豆粒也不容易，一片大田，經過主人家的收割，還能夠剩下多少豆粒呢？而況窮人聚了那麼大的一群，孩子、女人、老太太你搶我奪的，你爭我打的。為了二升豆子就得在田上爬了半月二十天的，爬得腰酸腿疼。唉，為著這點豆子，那團圓媳婦的婆婆還到李永春藥鋪，去買過二兩紅花的。那就是因為在土上爬豆子的時候，有一棵豆秧刺了她的手指甲一下。她也沒有在乎，把刺拔出來也就去他的了。該拾豆子還是拾豆子。就因此那指甲可就不知怎麼樣，睡了一夜那指甲就腫起來了，腫得和茄子似的。 這腫一腫又算什麼呢？又不是皇上娘娘，說起來可真嬌慣了，那有一個人吃天靠天，而不生點天災的？ 鬧了好幾天，夜裏痛得火喇喇的不能睡覺了。這才去買了二兩紅花來。 說起買紅花來，是早就該買的，奶奶婆婆勸她買，她不買。大孫子媳婦勸她買，她也不買。她的兒子想用孝順來爭服他的母親，他強硬的要去給她買，因此還挨了他媽的一煙袋鍋子，這一煙袋鍋子就把兒子的腦袋給打了雞蛋大的一個包。 你這小子，你不是敗家嗎？你媽還沒死，你就作了主了。小兔仔子，我看著你再說買紅花的！大兔仔子我看著你的。 就這一邊罵著，一邊煙袋鍋子就打下來了。 後來也到底還是買了，大概是驚動了東鄰西舍，這家說說，那家講講的，若再不買點紅花來，也太不好看了，讓人家說老胡家的大兒媳婦，一年到頭，就能夠尋尋覓覓的積錢，錢一到她的手裏，就好像掉了地縫了，一個錢也再不用想從她的手裏拿出來。假若這樣的說開去，也是不太好聽，何況這揀來的豆子能賣好幾十吊呢，花個三吊兩吊的就花了吧。一咬牙，去買上二兩紅花來擦擦。 想雖然是這樣想過了，但到底還沒有決定，延持了好幾天還沒有一咬牙。 最後也畢竟是買了，她選擇了一個頂嚴重的日子，就是她的手，不但一個指頭，而是整個的手都腫起來了。那原來腫得像茄子的指頭，現在更大了，已經和一個小東瓜似的了。而且連手掌也無限度的胖了起來，胖得和張大簸箕似的。她多少年來，就嫌自己太瘦，她總說，太瘦的人沒有福分。尤其是瘦手瘦腳的，一看就不帶福相。尤其是精瘦的兩隻手，一伸出來和雞爪似的，真是輕薄的樣子。 現在她的手是胖了，但這樣胖法，是不大舒服的。同時她也發了點熱，她覺得眼睛和嘴都乾，臉也發燒，身上也時冷時熱，她就說： 這手是要鬧點事嗎？這手 一清早起，她就這樣的念了好幾遍。那胖得和小簸箕似的手，是一動也不能動了，好像一匹大貓或者一個小孩的頭似的，她把它放在枕頭上和她一齊的躺著。 這手是要鬧點事的吧！ 當她的兒子來到她旁邊的時候，她就這樣說。 她的兒子一聽她母親的口氣，就有些了解了。大概這回她是要買紅花的了。 於是她的兒子跑到奶奶的面前，去商量著要給她母親去買紅花，她們家住的是南北對面的炕，那商量的話聲，雖然不甚大，但是他的母親是聽到的了。聽到了，也假裝沒有聽到，好表示這買紅花可到底不是她的意思，可並不是她的主使，她可沒有讓他們去買紅花。 在北炕上，祖孫二人商量了一會，孫子說向她媽去要錢去。grandmother said: 拿你奶奶的錢先去買吧，你媽好了再還我。 祖母故意把這句說得聲音大一點，似乎故意讓她的大兒媳婦聽見。 大兒媳婦是不但這句話，就是全部的話也都了然在心了，不過裝著不動就是了。 紅花買回來了，兒子坐到母親的旁邊，兒子說： 媽，你把紅花酒擦上吧。 母親從枕頭上轉過臉兒來，似乎買紅花這件事情，事先一點也不曉得，說： Yo!這小鬼羔子，到底買了紅花來 這回可並沒有用煙袋鍋子打，倒是安安靜靜的把手伸出來，讓那浸了紅花的酒，把一隻胖手完全染上了。 這紅花到底是二吊錢的，還是三吊錢的，若是二吊錢的倒給的不算少，若是三吊錢的，那可貴了一點。若是讓她自己去買，她可絕對的不能買這麼多，也不就是紅花嗎！紅花就是紅的就是了，治病不治病，誰曉得？也不過就是解解心疑就是了。 她想著想著，因為手上塗了酒覺得涼爽，就要睡一覺，又加上燒酒的氣味香撲撲的，紅花的氣味藥忽忽的。她覺得實在是舒服了不少。於是她一閉眼睛就做了一個夢。 這夢做的是她買了兩塊豆腐，這豆腐又白又大。是用什麼錢買的呢？就是用買紅花剩來的錢買的。因為在夢裏邊她夢見是她自己去買的紅花。她自己也不買三吊錢的，也不買兩吊錢的，是買了一吊錢的。在夢裏邊她還算著，不但今天有兩塊豆腐吃，那天一高興還有兩塊吃的！三吊錢才買了一吊錢的紅花呀！ 現在她一遭就拿了五十吊錢給了雲遊真人。若照她的想法來說，這五十吊錢可該買多少豆腐了呢？ 但是她沒有想，一方面因為團圓媳婦的病也實在病得纏綿，在她身上花錢也花得大手大腳的了。另一方面就是那雲遊真人的來勢也過於猛了點，竟打起抱不平來，說她虐待團圓媳婦。還是趕快的給了他錢，讓他滾蛋吧。 真是家裏有病人是什麼氣都受得呵。團圓媳婦的婆婆左思右想，越想越是自己遭了無妄之災，滿心的冤曲，想罵又沒有對象，想哭又哭不出來，想打也無處下手了。 那小團圓媳婦再打也就受不住了。 若是那小團圓媳婦剛來的時候，那就非先抓過她來打一頓再說。做婆婆的打了一隻飯碗，也抓過來把小團圓媳婦打一頓。她丟了一根針也抓過來把小團圓媳婦打一頓。她跌了一個觔斗，把單褲膝蓋的地方跌了一個洞，她也抓過來把小團圓媳婦打一頓。總之，她一不順心，她就覺得她的手就想要打人。她打誰呢！誰能夠讓她打呢？於是就輪到小團圓媳婦了。 有娘的，她不能夠打。她自己的兒子也捨不得打。打貓，她怕把貓打丟了。打狗，她怕把狗打跑了。打豬，怕豬掉了斤兩。打雞，怕雞不下蛋。 惟獨打這小團圓媳婦是一點毛病沒有，她又不能跑掉，她又不能丟了。她又不會下蛋，反正也不是豬，打掉了一些斤兩也不要緊，反正也不過秤。 可是這小團圓媳婦，一打也就吃不下飯去。吃不下飯去不要緊，多喝一點飯米湯好啦，反正飯米湯剩下也是要餵豬的。 可是這都成了已往的她的光榮的日子了，那種自由的日子恐怕一時不會再來了。現在她不用說打，就連罵也不大罵她了。 現在她別的都不怕，她就怕她死，她心裏總有一個陰影，她的小團圓媳婦可不要死了呵。 於是她碰到了多少的困難，她都克服了下去，她咬著牙根，她忍住眼淚，她要罵不能罵，她要打不能打。她要哭，她又止住了。無限的傷心，無限的悲哀，常常一齊會來到她的心中的。她想，也許是前生沒有做了好事，此生找到她了。不然為什麼連一個團圓媳婦的命都沒有。她想一想，她一生沒有做過惡事，面軟、心慈，凡事都是自己吃虧，讓著別人。雖然沒有吃齋念佛，但是初一十五的素口也自幼就吃著。雖然不怎樣拜廟燒香，但四月十八的廟會，也沒有拉下過。娘娘廟前一把香，老爺廟前三個頭。那一年也都是燒香磕頭的沒有拉過過場。雖然是自小沒有讀過詩文，不認識字，但是《金剛經》《灶王經》也會念上兩套。雖然說不曾做過捨善的事情，沒有補過路，沒有修過橋，但是逢年過節，對那些討飯的人，也常常給過他們剩湯剩飯的。雖然過日子不怎樣儉省，但也沒有多吃過一塊豆腐。拍拍良心，對天對得起，對地也對得住。那為什麼老天爺明明白白的卻把禍根種在她身上？ 她越想，她越心煩意亂。 都是前生沒有做了好事，今生才找到了。 她一想到這裏，她也就不再想了，反正事到臨頭，瞎想一陣又能怎樣呢？於是她自己勸著自己就又忍著眼淚，咬著牙根，把她那兢兢業業的，養豬餵狗所積下來的那點錢，又一吊一吊的，一五一十的，往外拿著。 東家說看個香火，西家說吃個偏方。偏方、野藥、大神、趕鬼、看香、扶乩，樣樣都已經試過。錢也不知花了多少，但是都不怎樣見效。 那小團圓媳婦夜裏說夢話，白天發燒。一說起夢話來，總是說她要回家。 回家這兩個字，她的婆婆覺得最不祥，就怕她是陰間的花姐，閻王奶奶要把她叫了回去。於是就請了一個圓夢的。那圓夢的一圓，果然不錯，回家就是回陰間地獄的意思。 所以那小團圓媳婦，做夢的時候，一夢到她的婆婆打她，或者是用梢子繩把她吊在房樑上了，或是夢見婆婆用烙鐵烙她的腳心，或是夢見婆婆用針刺她的手指尖。一夢到這些，她就大哭大叫，而且嚷她要回家。 婆婆一聽她嚷回家，就伸出手去在大腿上擰著她。日子久了，擰來，擰去，那小團圓媳婦的大腿被擰得像一個梅花鹿似的青一塊、紫一塊的了。 她是一份善心，怕是真的她回了陰間地獄，趕快的把她叫醒來。 可是小團圓媳婦睡得朦裏朦朧的，她以為她的婆婆可又真的在打她了，於是她大叫著，從炕上翻身起來，就跳下地去，拉也拉不住她，按也按不住她。 她的力氣大得驚人，她的聲音喊得怕人。她的婆婆於是覺得更是見鬼了、著魔了。 不但她的婆婆，全家的人也都相信這孩子的身上一定有鬼。 誰聽了能夠不相信呢？半夜三更的喊著回家，一招呼醒了，她就跳下地去，瞪著眼睛，張著嘴，連哭帶叫的，那力氣比牛還大，那聲音好像殺豬似的。 誰能夠不相信呢？又加上她婆婆的渲染，說她眼珠子是綠的，好像兩點鬼火似的，說她的喊聲，是直聲拉氣的，不是人聲。 所以一傳出去，東鄰西舍的，沒有不相信的。 於是一些善人們，就覺得這小女孩子也實在讓鬼給捉弄得可憐了。那個孩兒是沒有娘的，那個人不是肉生肉長的。誰家不都是養老育小，於是大動惻隱之心。東家二姨，西家三姑，她說她有奇方，她說她有妙法。 於是就又跳神趕鬼、看香、扶乩，老胡家鬧得非常熱鬧。傳為一時之盛。若有不去看跳神趕鬼的，竟被指為落伍。 因為老胡家跳神跳得花樣翻新，是自古也沒有這樣跳的，打破了跳神的紀錄了，給跳神開了一個新紀元。若不去看看，耳目因此是會閉塞了的。 當地沒有報紙，不能記錄這樁盛事。若是患了半身不遂的人，患了癱病的人，或是大病臥床不起的人，那真是一生的不幸，大家也都為他惋惜，怕是他此生也要孤陋寡聞，因為這樣的隆重的盛舉，他究竟不能夠參加。 呼蘭河這地方，到底是太閉塞，文化是不大有的。雖然當地的官、紳，認為已經滿意了，而且請了一位滿清的翰林，作了一首歌，歌曰： 溯呼蘭天然森林，自古多奇材。 這首歌還配上了從東洋流來的樂譜，使當地的小學都唱著。這歌不止這兩句這麼短，不過只唱這兩句就已經夠好的了。所好的是使人聽了能夠引起一種自負的感情來，尤其當清明植樹節的時候，幾個小學堂的學生都排起隊來在大街上遊行，並唱著這首歌。使老百姓聽了，也覺得呼蘭河是個了不起的地方，一開口說話就：我們呼蘭河；那在街道上撿糞蛋的孩子，手裏提著糞耙子，他還說：我們呼蘭河！可不知道呼蘭河給了他什麼好處。也許那糞耙子就是呼蘭河給了他的。 呼蘭河這地方，儘管奇才很多，但到底太閉塞，竟不會辦一張報紙。以至於把當地的奇聞妙事都沒有記載，任它風散了。 老胡家跳大神，就實在跳得奇。用大缸給團圓媳婦洗澡，而且是當眾就洗的。 這種奇聞盛舉一經傳了出來，大家都想去開開眼界，就是那些患了半身不遂的，患了癱病的人，人們覺得他們癱了倒沒有什麼，只是不能夠前來看老胡家團圓媳婦大規模的洗澡，真是一生的不幸。 five 天一黃昏，老胡家就打起鼓來了。大缸、開水、公雞，都預備好了。 公雞抓來了，開水燒滾了，大缸擺好了。 看熱鬧的人，絡繹不絕的來看。我和祖
