Chapter 8 Chapter VII

one Feng Waizuizi lived in the mill. Feng Waizuizi beat his clapper in the middle of the night, night after night.It's a little better in winter, but even worse in summer. The window of the mill faced the back garden of my house.On the walls around the back garden of my house, there are plants that can climb vines, such as dwarf melons, zucchini or cucumbers; The wall climbed to the street, and opened a fiery yellow flower towards the street. Therefore, the windows of the mill were covered with cucumbers that could climb vines.The small vines of cucumbers are as thin as silver threads. When the sun comes, the slender vines shine brightly, and the tips of the vines are as clean as silk made of yellow wax. Countless such silks come out.The spiers of the silk vines turned around and curled back and forth, as if to say that although they are brave, big trees, weeds, walls, window lattices, and crawling everywhere, they are also fearful in the end.

As soon as the sun came out, those silk tendrils that were deserted at night became warmer.So they moved forward at a faster rate, as if watching the silk tendrils grow, they ran forward.Because the cucumber seedlings planted under the windows of the mill climbed up the window sill in one day, climbed up the window lattice in two days, and bloomed on the window lattice on the third day. A few days later, without paying attention, the cucumber stalk passed the window of the mill and climbed up to the roof. Later, as if they were greeting each other, the cucumber seedlings covered the window of the mill together in groups.

From then on, the miller in the mill could not see the light of day.There was a window in the mill, and now it was covered with cucumbers.From then on, the mill was dark, and the garden and the garden were divided into two worlds.Feng Waizuizi was assigned to go outside the garden. But from the outside, the window is really beautiful, blooming and blooming, bearing fruit.The window is full of cucumbers. There was also a dwarf melon seedling, which also climbed to the roof along the window of the mill, and grew a big dwarf melon on the eaves.The dwarf melon didn't seem to grow from the seedlings, it seemed to be moved by someone and sat on the roof tiles to bask in the sun.It's really nice.

In summer, when I was playing in the back garden, Feng Waizuizi called me, asking me for cucumbers. I picked the cucumbers and passed them in through the window.The window was tightly closed by the cucumber seedlings, Feng Waizuizi pushed aside the leaves that were full of the window with his hands, and stretched out his hand from a small slit to take the cucumbers in. Sometimes, he stopped hitting his clapper, and he asked me, how old is the cucumber?Are the tomatoes red?There is only one window between him and the back garden, as if it is closed. He talked to his grandfather when he was in the garden.He said that the little donkey who was pulling the mill had a broken hoof and was limping.Grandpa said to have a veterinarian look at it.Feng Waizuizi said, "I've read it, but it's not good."The grandfather asked what kind of medicine the donkey was taking.Feng Waizuizi said that he ate cucumber seeds mixed with sorghum vinegar.

Feng Wizuizi was in the window, and grandfather was outside the window. Grandfather couldn't see Feng Wizuizi, and Feng Wizuizi couldn't see grandfather. Sometimes, my grandfather went away and went back to the house, and I was left alone to sit and play under the wall of the mill. I heard Feng Waizuizi say: The old man didn't go to the countryside this year to see where! Sometimes, after hearing this, I purposely keep quiet and listen to what he has to say next. Sometimes, I felt ridiculous in my heart, and I couldn't help it, so I jumped up and knocked on the window with my hands, laughing so hard that I knocked off the cucumbers hanging on the window.Then I ran into the house in a hurry and told my grandfather about the situation.Grandpa is also like me, he can't stop laughing, tears come out of his eyes.But he always said, don't laugh, don't laugh, let's see what he hears.Sometimes my grandfather even closed the back door before laughing.Grandfather was afraid that Feng Waizuizi would be embarrassed if he heard it.

But the old cook is different.Sometimes, when he chatted with Feng Waizuizi, he deliberately slipped away halfway through the conversation.Because Feng Waizuizi couldn't see him leaving through the window covered with cucumber seedlings, so he said a long speech by himself, and then let him deliberately not get any response. The old cook went to the backyard to pick eggplants with a basket, and while picking them, he talked to Feng Waizuizi. Halfway through the conversation, the old cook tiptoed away with the basket in hand, and went back to the house to cook. up. At this time, Feng Waizuizi was still in the mill and said loudly:

There's a circus in West Park. I haven't had time to watch it yet. Have you been to it?Pharaoh. In fact, there was no one in the back garden. Dragonflies and butterflies flew around randomly, and Feng's crooked voice fell into the garden empty-handedly, and then disappeared empty-handedly. The smoke is gone. When he found out that Lao Wang was no longer in the garden.Then he started playing the clapper again and watched the little donkey pull the mill. There was a second uncle who talked with Feng Waizuizi, but he never sneaked away. He asked whether the roof of the mill was leaking badly on a rainy day?Are there many mice in the mill?

At the same time, Feng Waizuizi also asked the second uncle, is there a lot of rain in the back garden this year?Eggplants and Yundou are about to leave the garden, right? After the two of them finished talking to each other, the second uncle asked Feng Waizuizi to walk around the back garden, and Feng Waizuizi asked the second uncle to sit in the mill. Come and walk in the garden when you have time. Come and sit in the mill when you have time. So the second uncle said goodbye and came out of the garden.Feng Waizuizi continued to hit him with his clapper. In autumn, the leaves of the big elm tree turned yellow, the foxtail on the wall dried up, and the garden became desolate day by day.

At this time, Feng Waizuizi's window was also exposed.Because those entangled cucumber seedlings also withered and failed, abandoning the window lattice and falling off. So standing in the back garden, you can see Feng Waizuizi, and you can see the little donkey pulling the mill through the window.The little donkey had its ears pricked up and was wearing a blindfold.After walking three or five steps, the donkey snorted once, and every time it lifted its hind leg, it limped a little. Every time it stopped, the little donkey stood on three legs. Feng Waizuizi said that the donkey's leg was broken.

Once the cucumber seedlings on the window are gone, Feng Waizuizi in the mill can see it every day. Feng Wizuizi drank, Feng Wizuizi fell asleep, Feng Wizuizi played the clapper, Feng Wizuizi played the huqin, Feng Wizuizi sang the libretto, Feng Wizuizi shook the windmill.As long as you lean on the window sill, you can see everything. In autumn, when fresh sticky rice comes, Feng Waizuizi grinds it once every three days and sticky cake every two days.Yellow rice sticky cake, sprinkled with soybeans.One layer of yellow, one layer of red, the yellow is golden, and the red is bright red.One piece of three copper plates, and one piece of two copper plates are sold by cutting with a knife.Those who are willing to add brown sugar have brown sugar, and those who are willing to add white sugar have white sugar.There is no extra charge for adding sugar.

As soon as Feng Waizuizi pushed the unicycle on the street, a large group of children followed behind, some bought it with money, and some watched it. My grandfather liked this sticky cake best, my mother liked it too, and I liked it even more.Mother sometimes asked the old cook to buy, and sometimes asked me to buy. However, there are only a few of them when you buy them. One person can only eat one piece as big as the palm of your hand. While eating, my grandfather said that enough is enough, which means that I am afraid that I will eat too much.After my mother finished eating, she said it was enough, meaning that I was afraid that I would still buy it.In fact, I really don't think it's enough, and I think eating two more yuan is not too much!However, after others said this, I had no other choice, and I was embarrassed to yell to buy it again, but the truth was that I didn't have enough. When I was playing outside the gate, Feng Waizuizi, who was pushing a unicycle, always cut a piece of that big sticky cake for me to eat, so I accepted it. When I was playing in the yard, as soon as Feng Waizuizi yelled Sticky sticky cake and passed by the big wall, I climbed up the top of the wall. Because of the section of earth wall on the southwest corner, there was a hole in it after a long time, so I looked out from the wall.Sure enough, Feng Waizuizi pushed the sticky unicycle from far to near.came to my side and asked: Want a slice? And I don't say eat, and I don't say don't eat.But I didn't get down from the wall either, and stayed there as if nothing had happened. Feng Waizuizi stopped the car, cut a piece of sticky cake and brought it up. When winter comes, Feng Waizuizi goes out almost every day to sell a pot of sticky cakes. When making this sticky cake, you need a big pot with boiling water in it, and a bamboo curtain on the pot mouth.Sprinkle the crushed yellow rice flour on the bamboo curtain, sprinkle a layer of flour, sprinkle a layer of beans.Feng Waizui sprinkled it in the mill, making the room steamy.When I went in to buy sticky cakes, as soon as I opened the door, I heard the crackling of matches in the room, but I couldn't see anyone. When I go to buy sticky cakes, I always go early, and I wait there, waiting for the hot ones to come out of the pan. The steam in that room was so strong that no one could be seen.Every time I open the door, I say: I am coming. As soon as Feng Waizuizi heard my voice, he said: Come this way, come this way. two Once my mother asked me to buy sticky cakes. I went there a little late, and the sticky cakes were already out of the pan.I bought it in a hurry and came back.When I got home, I saw something was wrong.My mother asked me to buy the one with white sugar, but the one I bought back was with brown sugar.I didn't pay attention at the time, and when I got home, I realized I was wrong. Wrong, I ran back to change again.Feng Waizuizi cut a few more slices and sprinkled them with sugar. I took the sticky cake, and when I was about to take it away, I turned around and saw a cloth curtain hanging on Feng Waizuizi's kang. I thought it was something, so I ran over to have a look. I stretched out my hand and lifted the curtain, and looked inside, ah!There is also a child inside! I turned around and ran home, and when I got home, I told my grandfather that a woman from someone else’s family was sleeping on Feng’s crooked kang, and there was a child under the woman’s quilt, and the child was still showing the top of his head. , The child's head is still red! Grandpa felt puzzled after hearing this for a while, so he said let me eat the sticky cake, it will get cold and it won't taste good. But I can eat there.I think this is really funny, there is not only a little donkey in the mill, but also a child. I didn't even eat the sticky cake that morning, so I put on my fur hat again and went to have a look. This time, Feng Waizuizi was not in the house, I don't know where he went, and the sticky cake probably didn't go to sell, and the cart pushing the sticky cake was still thrown beside the millstone. As soon as I opened the door and went in, the wind blew away the white cloth curtains that were covered, the woman was still lying still, and the child did not cry. I looked around the room, and there was no change in the sides of the room, just A brass basin was placed on the millstone, and a little rag was soaked in the copper basin. The water in the basin had frozen, and the rest remained unchanged. The little donkey lived in the mill room in winter, and the little donkey was still standing there, wiping his eyes as usual.The windmills, cabinets, and millstones in the rest of the mill stayed there as usual, and even the mice under the wall came out and ran around as usual, and the mice chirped while running. . I watched it for a while, but I couldn't see why, and felt very boring.When I was about to turn around and come out, I found a clay pot, which was bulging like a small iceberg on the edge of the kang.Then I remembered how cold the room was, and immediately felt like shivering, too cold to stand on my feet.I took a closer look and saw that the window leading to the back garden also had a big hole, and the roof of the tile-roofed house also showed the blue sky. I opened the door and ran away. When I got home, the stove was burning red, and the heat was blowing into my face as soon as I entered the door. I was about to ask my grandfather whose child was in that mill.At this time Feng Waizuizi came from outside. Wearing his four-eared hat, he smiled before speaking, and it was Feng's crooked mouth. He came into the room, and sat on the grandmaster's chair next to his grandfather, which was covered with a thick red-haired serge cushion. Feng Waizuizi sat there, seemingly speechless.He kept rubbing the chair cushion with his right hand, and pulled his left ear with his left hand.He looked like he laughed before speaking, and he laughed for a while without saying a word. The stove in our house was so hot that it burned his face red.He said: Grandpa, I have something to do. Grandpa asked him what happened? Feng Waizuizi sat twisted on the grand master's chair, took off his dog fur hat, and played with it in his hand.He laughed before speaking, and after laughing for a while, he finally said a word: I am home. Tears flowed from Feng Waizuizi's eyes as he said this, and he said: Please help the old lady, they are in the mill now!They have no place to live. When I heard this, I quickly grabbed it and said to my grandfather: Grandpa, it's cold in that mill!The pots on the edge of the Kang were frozen and cracked. Grandpa pushed me aside, as if he was thinking.I said again: There was a child sleeping on the kang! Grandpa agreed to let him move to the house with grass at the south end of the mill to live temporarily. When Feng Waizuizi heard this, he stood up quickly and said: Thank you, thank you. While talking, tears came to his eyes again, and then he put on the dog fur hat, and left with tears in his eyes. As soon as Feng Waizuizi walked out of the house, my grandfather turned around and said to me: You kid can't talk much in front of a human being. I was only six or seven years old at the time, and I didn't understand what it meant, so I asked my grandfather: Why don't you say it, why don't you say it? grandfather said: Didn't you see that Feng Waizui's tears were about to fall?Feng Waizui was embarrassed. I thought there was something to be ashamed of, I don't understand. three At noon, there was a quarrel in Feng Waizuizi's mill. Feng Waizuizi stood beside the millstone in silence, his shopkeeper was holding a cigarette pouch and cursing in front of his eyes, while the shopkeeper's wife was cursing while patting the windmill, she said: Feng Shui is broken, my mill is the place where your dirty wild wife lives! Is the green dragon and white tiger also women can rush! Feng Waizuizi, if I don't get rich from now on, I will settle accounts with you; what are you, are you still a person?You have no face, if you have face, you can still get a wild wife on the big face, get it under people's eyelids, get out of here Feng Waizuizi said: I'm going to ask them to move, just move The shopkeeper's wife said: Tell them to move, what they are, I don't know.I'm telling you to fuck off, you're ruining people As she spoke, she looked at the kang: Oops!The noodle pocket is also covered by your wild wife!Get it for me quickly.I said Feng Waizuizi, you spoiled me so much.You have spoiled me so much. The newborn child was sleeping covered with a noodle sack, four or five sheets of which were thickly pressed against his little face. The shopkeeper's wife shouted from the side: Take it down for me, take it down for me! Feng Waizuizi went over and took off the noodle bag, immediately revealing the child's red little hand, and the little hand was still stretching and shrinking, shaking it a few times and then crying. When the child cried, snow-white gas came out of the child's mouth. The shopkeeper's wife took the dough bag into her hand and said: But I'm freezing to death, you move quickly, I don't have time to argue with you After speaking, he opened the door and shrank his shoulders and ran back to the upper room. The owner of Wang Si's shopkeeper is Feng Wizuizi's owner. He invited his grandfather to the upper room for tea. We sat on the kang in the upper room, and while we were cooking a charcoal brazier, we heard the cry of the child in the mill. Grandpa asked me if my hands were warmed?I said it was not warmed yet, and my grandfather said: It's warmed up, let's go home. When I came out of Shopkeeper Wang Si's house, I also said that I would go to the mill to have a look.Grandpa said, there's nothing to worry about, just watch it when you get home and warm up. There is no heat and cold meter in the mill, but I have it in my house.I asked my grandfather: Grandpa, what degree do you say the temperature of the mill is? Grandfather said below zero. I asked: How much below zero? grandfather said: There is no cold and heat table, where do you know! I said: How much below zero? Grandfather looked at the sky and said: Seven or eight degrees below zero. I cheered up and said: Oh, it's so cold!Isn't that the same as the outside temperature? I lifted my feet and ran home, the well platform, the water trough next to the well platform, the big stone roller next to the well platform, the big glass windows of Lao Zhou’s house, and the big tall chimney in my house. Seeing that they are all moving, they all seem to be moving backwards.I ran faster and faster, as if it was not I who was running, but the house and the chimney were running. I was so confused that I ran as fast as the wind. I think the temperature in the mill is below zero, isn't it equal to the open air?What a joke, the house is the same as the open field.The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous I became, and the happier I became. So even those who yelled and yelled ran home. Four In the second half of the day, Feng Wizuizi moved the child to the thatched shed at the south end of the mill. The child was crying loudly, as if he was not just born, as if he had grown up. There was so much noise in that thatched cottage, I wanted to go and see it again. This time the woman sat up, with a quilt on her body, her long braid hanging down her back, facing inward, sitting on a pile of grass, she didn't know what she was doing, when she heard the door knock, she turned her head.I can see that she is the eldest girl of the old Wang family who lives in the same courtyard as us. We all call her Sister Wang. This is strange, why is it her?She almost startled me when she turned around. I turned around and wanted to run home.I ran home to tell my grandfather quickly, what is going on? When she saw it was me, she smiled at me first. She has a big face and a very pointed nose. Every time she smiles, there are a bunch of wrinkles on the bridge of her nose.Today her smile is still the same as before, and the bridge of her nose is full of wrinkles. Usually, when the vegetables in our backyard were too much to eat, she would carry a basket to our backyard to pick some eggplants, cucumbers, etc., and go home.She is a person who can talk and laugh, and she is a very loud person. When she meets others, she asks others: Did you have meal? That sound was loud, as if a magpie had fallen on the roof. Her father drove the cart, and she led the horse to the well to drink water. She fetched water faster than her father, and three rounds and two rounds made a bucket.Others saw it and said: This girl will be a good fortune-maker in the future! She picks vegetables in the back garden of my house, and when she leaves, she often folds a horse snake cauliflower and puts it on her head. Her braids are neatly combed, the root of the red braid and the tip of the green braid are clean, and a horse snake cauliflower is added on the temple, which is very beautiful.She carried the basket and walked forward, and the people behind all pointed and talked about her benefits. The old cook said that her big head and big eyes look strange. A second uncle said that she has a big shoulder and a round waist, and she has a little blessing. Mother said she: I don't have such a big son. If I have a son, I will marry her. This girl is really loud. The third grandmother of the old Zhou family who lived in the same hospital said: Yoyo, this girl is really a big sunflower, tall and big, are you in your teens this year? As soon as Grandma saw Sister Wang on Wednesday, she asked her how old she was?I've asked it countless times, as if I had to ask it when I saw it, and if I didn't ask it, it seemed like I had nothing to say. Every time I ask, Miss Wang always says: twenty. I'm twenty, so I have to talk to a matchmaker.Or else, let's see who has such a great blessing, let's see, let's see in the future. The old lady of the Yang family in the next courtyard, leaning against the wall, saw Sister Wang and said: The girl's face was as red as a pot of fire. Now Sister Wang still wrinkles her nose when she smiles, but her face is a little thinner, and her color is much paler. She holds the baby in her arms.I took a look at her, and she was embarrassed, and I was also embarrassed.My embarrassment is because I haven't seen her for a long time. I think she may be the same as me.I wanted to leave, but I was too embarrassed to leave immediately.Want to stay longer but have nothing to say. I just stood there quietly for a while, and I watched her cover the child with grass and put the child on the kang.In fact, I can't see what is a kang, the mess is grass, the ground is grass, the kang is also grass, and the straw bales are piled up to the beams of the house.The small kang was not big at first, but it was full of straw bales.The child snuggled into a grass nest in the grass, and fell asleep on the grass covering the grass. The more I looked at it, the more amusing it became, as if a child was sleeping in a magpie's nest. In the evening I told my grandfather all about what I had seen. Grandfather said nothing.But I could see that my grandfather knew more than I did.I said: The child is still covered with grass! grandfather said: Um! I said: Isn't that Miss Wang? grandfather said: Um. Grandpa didn't ask anything, and he didn't seem to listen to anything. At night, under the kerosene lamp, when all the people in my family gather, it will be lively!Talk and talk.That said, Miss Wang is like that.The one who said Mrs. Wang talked about it like that, and her words were out of shape. It is not a good thing to say that Miss Wang is so bad, so bad. It must not be a good thing to say that she speaks so loudly.There are girls in every family, who talk a lot. A second uncle said: What a good girl, she fell in love with a miller in a mill, what year is it! The old cook said: Men should be thick and strong, and women should be delicate.I have never seen a girl who looks like a big man (carrying a worker). The second uncle went on to say: Yes!The master is like the master, and the lady is like the lady. Haven't you visited a temple on April 18th?The master in the Laoye Temple is majestic, and the empress in the Niangniang Temple is gentle and elegant. The old cook said again: For some activities, the girl's family is more powerful than a man when she fetches water.I've never seen a girl with such great strength. A second uncle said: After all the calculations, she was poor in bones and flesh, she didn't look at the one in silk and satin, she fell in love with a gray and bald miller.It's really Wu Dalang who plays with ducks, whoever plays with what kind of bird. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Miss Wang had given birth to a child. On Wednesday, my grandma came to my house to inquire about it, and my mother said that it was in the thatched shed and asked her to see it.she says: yo yo!I don't have that much time to look at it, what a good deal. Mrs. Yang from the west courtyard also came after hearing the wind.He wore a large blue cloth shirt that was starched and shone brightly, with a silver square button on his head, and a cupronickel ring on his hand. As soon as she entered the room, her mother told her that Feng Waizuizi had a son.Mrs. Yang quickly said: I'm not here to inquire about their cats and dogs, I'm here to ask if the interest of Guanghe Bank is increased by one, or 80%?Because yesterday the second kid on Xihuang sent a letter saying that his father-in-law wanted to give a relative hundreds of thousands of money. After finishing speaking, she sat there solemnly. My house was too hot, and Mrs. Yang's face turned red when she entered the room.Mother hastily opened the ventilation window to the north. As soon as the ventilation window was opened, the crying of the child in the thatched shed was heard, and the crying was very loud. Listen, my mother said, this is Feng Wizuizi's son. What's the matter?I don't think Miss Wang is a good person, so I said, that girl will not get better in the future.Mrs. Yang said, the girl suddenly disappeared a few days ago, so I asked her mother, where is your eldest girl?Her mother said she went to her grandma's house.After going there for so long and not coming back, I feel a little alarmed. mother said: Ms. Wang often cried in summer, her eyes were red from crying. Her mother said she had a bad temper and was angry with her mother. Mrs. Yang hugged her shoulders and said: Angry, so angry, I've been ashamed until today, why didn't I die of anger.That girl is not a good person, look at her eyes, how big they are!As I said earlier, this girl is not going to get better. Then he whispered in his mother's ear for a while, then walked away talking and laughing. I probably forgot her original intention of coming to my house.She came here to ask about the interest of the Guanghe Bank, but she never mentioned the Guanghe Bank until she left. Mrs. Yang, Grandma on Wednesday, and the people in the powder room who lived in the same courtyard, none of them did not say that Miss Wang was bad. It is said that Miss Wang's eyes are not good, that Miss Wang's strength is too great, and that Miss Wang's braids are too long. five As soon as this incident happened, people in the whole courtyard gave Ms. Wang a commentary, a biography, and a diary for her. According to the biography, she was raised in her grandmother's house since she was a child, and she was with boys all day long, neither male nor female.One day she took a burning fork and wounded her cousin.It was another day of strong winds, and she secretly ate up more than 20 duck eggs of her grandmother at one time.Another day she was picking water chestnuts in the river ditch, and she picked few water chestnuts herself, so she poured other people's water chestnuts into her basket, saying that she picked them.It is said that she is extremely tyrannical, and no one dares to argue with her. Once she argues, she will scold and beat her with a raised hand. The person who wrote her biography said it as if she had seen it before, saying that on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, on the day of the new year, Miss Wang had a fight with her grandmother because her grandmother gave her less meat. I ran back home. Just look at how greedy her mouth must be. So all the people listening around laughed. The person who wrote the biography of Miss Wang did collect a lot of materials. Since the death of the reunion daughter-in-law, the yard seemed lonely for a long time. Although it can't be said to be very lively now, everyone must try their best to promote it.Although it doesn't dance to the gods and drums, it should always give everyone a little bit of fun. So the wind blowers, the watchers, the line runners, absolutely worked tirelessly, and in the snowy night, they just wore leather hats and big felt boots, and stood outside Feng Waizuizi's window, waiting there. To listen, to eavesdrop on some news.If you can hear a little bit, even if it's as big as a pinhole, it's not in vain to be frozen, which can be used as propaganda material for the next day. So in the first few days under Feng Waizuizi's sect, there were actually quite a few visitors standing around. These visitors are often uneducated, and they are most fond of spreading rumors. For example, the old cook in my family went out to visit for a while, and came home and reported: That thatched shed is cold!Like Wufenglou, the child is silent, probably frozen to death, go and watch the fun! The old cook was waving his hands and feet, he was very happy. After a while he put on the dog fur hat again, and he visited again, and this time he reported: Damn, it's not dead, the kid hasn't frozen to death yet!She is still breastfeeding in her mother's arms. Where the news happened.It was only fifty steps away from my home, but once the visitors visited, the original appearance of the matter changed greatly. Some saw a piece of rope on Feng Wizuizi's kang, so they said that Feng Wizuizi was going to hang himself. The stimulation of hanging himself really gave people a lot of power.Women put on hoods and men put on felt boots. I don't know how many people are going to visit here, or are planning to visit. There are more than 30 people in Lao Yang's family in the west courtyard, not counting the children, if counted, there are also 40 people.Just to say that if these thirty people all came to see Feng Waizuizi who hanged himself, wouldn't it overwhelm my little thatched hut!Let’s just say that some of the old and sick people in his family cannot come, let’s say that at least ten people can come.Then there are ten from the old Yang’s family in the west courtyard, and three from the old Zhou’s family in the same courtyard. Grandma on Wednesday, Aunt on Thursday, Aunt Zhou and Aunt on Thursday are holding a child in their arms, and Aunt Zhou is holding a child in their hands. They have such a habit. There are a total of five generations in the Zhou family, old and young. There were also powder makers in the mill, those who lit the fire, and those who ran the streets to deliver goods, etc. I couldn't count the number of people at the moment.There are also those on the front and back streets, and a lot of them inevitably came as soon as they heard the news. Hang yourself.Why is a good person willing to hang himself instead of living?Go and have a look, everyone, it must be interesting, so go and have a look, everyone. Besides, it's good to keep your eyes open, anyway, you don't go to the circus, and you have to spend money and buy tickets. So in the city of Hulan River, whenever someone jumps into a well or hangs himself, there will be a lot of people watching the excitement. I don't know if this is the case in other parts of China, but it is the case in my hometown. The woman who threw herself into the river was salvaged, but she was not buried in a hurry, and she was placed there for a day or two for everyone to watch. The woman who jumped into the well was fished out of the well, and she was not buried in a hurry, and she was not buried in a hurry. It was like an exhibition of domestic products, full of bustle and bustle. In fact, there is nothing interesting about it. If Feng Waizui hanged himself, wouldn't it be scary to see it! Some timid women could not sleep for three days and five nights after seeing those who threw themselves into rivers and wells.But the next time, when there is such a wronged soul, she will still go to see it, and when she comes back, she will feel that the bad impression is in front of her eyes, so she can't sleep well and eat badly.But it’s impossible not to look at it. I still want to look at it for the third time, even if I feel terrible in my heart after I look at it, I will buy another yellow money paper and a bundle of incense sticks and burn it at the crossroads. Da Dao kowtowed three heads and said at the same time: Evil spirits and wild ghosts don't want to get on my body, I have already sent you all the incense sticks here. Some girls from other families were scared to death when they came back to see the hanged man.It is said that not only those who hanged themselves, but also those who jumped into wells, were also frightened to death.Frightened by a sickness, thousands of doctors couldn't cure it, and then died. But people are still willing to see that men may be particularly courageous and not afraid.Women are much more timid, and they all look at it with courage at first glance. There are also children, women bring them to see, they have not grown into a person, the mother has brought them long ago, maybe in this busy world, it is better to practice a little earlier, so as not to be afraid of jumping into the well in the future Hanging is too amateurish. Some interviewers learned that Feng Wizuizi had bought a household vegetable cutting knife from the street, so they let it go that Feng Wizuizi wanted to kill himself. six Feng Waizuizi, did not hang himself, did not kill himself, and is still alive and well.After a year, his child grew up. When my family slaughtered pigs during the Chinese New Year, Feng Waizuizi came to my house to help, helping to shave the pigs.In the evening, after he ate and drank, when he was about to go back, his grandfather told him to take some big steamed buns with him, and he carried the steamed buns in his waist and left. People laughed at Feng's crooked mouth and said: Feng Waizuizi has a young master. Feng Waizuizi usually does small things for my family, such as grinding half a bucket of beans to make small tofu, or pushing two buckets of high-quality red sticky rice to make sticky cakes. My grandfather always invites him to come to my house for dinner.At the dinner table, in front of everyone, the old cook said: Feng Waizuizi eat two steamed buns less, save the steamed buns and take them to the young master Feng Waizuizi was not embarrassed when he heard it, and he didn't think it was a mockery of him. He said solemnly: He has food at home, he has food at home. After eating, the grandfather said: Or bring a few! Feng Waizuizi picked up some steamed buns, where should they put them?Put it in the waist, the steamed bun is too hot.Put it in the sleeve for fear of falling. Then the old cook said: You put it in the hood! So Feng Waizuizi went home with a steamed bun in his hood. If someone in the east or west has a wedding or a wedding, if Feng Waizuizi is also at the banquet, as soon as the meatballs are served, others will say: Feng Waizuizi, you can't eat these meatballs, do you have a young master in your family? So the people said, and took out the two meatballs that Feng Waizuizi deserved with chopsticks, and put them in a small dish next to Feng Wizuizi.When the braised pork came, the same was done, and when the dried fruit plate came, the same was done. Feng Waizuizi didn't feel ashamed at all. After the banquet was over, he wrapped it in a towel, brought it home, and gave it to his son to eat. seven His son is also like an ordinary child, teething at seven months, crawling at eight months, walking at one year, and running at two years. In summer, the child didn't wear any clothes, only wearing a flower pocket, catching toads in the puddle in front of the door.His mother sat in front of the door and embroidered a flower pocket for his belly. His father played the clapper in the mill and watched over the donkey pulling the mill. eight Two or three years later, Feng Waizuizi's second child was about to be born.Feng Waizuizi was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Outside, someone asked him: Feng Waizuizi is going to have a son again? He hehehe.He deliberately calmed himself down. When he was at home, as soon as he saw his woman carrying a big basin, he said: What are you doing, can't you let me take it! He saw his woman holding a bundle of firewood, and he stopped her like this: Why don't you let me take it! But Miss Wang is getting thinner and paler every day, her eyes are bigger and her nose is more pointed.Feng Waizuizi said that after eating a few more eggs and nourishing them well, the body will get better. His house is happy, Feng Waizuizi hung a curtain on the window.This white cloth is newly bought from a shop.Feng Waizuizi's window had not been hung with curtains in three to five years, and this was the first time. Feng Waizuizi bought two catties of new cotton, several feet of flowery foreign cloth, and twenty or thirty high-quality eggs. Feng Waizuizi was still grinding as usual, and Sister Wang cut out flowery foreign cloth to make small clothes. Twenty or thirty eggs are placed in small baskets and hung on the second beam.Every time a door or window is opened, the little basket is wandering high above. A load of eggs came to the door, Feng Waizuizi said, you are not in good health, I think you should eat more eggs. Feng Waizuizi wanted to buy some more every time, but was stopped by the child's mother. Feng Waizuizi said: Since you gave birth to this child, your body has not been raised.What's the point of eating more eggs!I can sell a few more catties of sticky cakes. As soon as the grandfather came to his house, he went to visit him.Feng Waizuizi told his grandfather this set of words.He said: That person is frugal, and he doesn't even burn a single piece of firewood in his life.If you want to have a baby, you won't eat an extra egg.看著吧，將來會發家的 馮歪嘴子說完了，是很得意的。 Nine 七月一過去，八月烏鴉就來了。 其實烏鴉七月裏已經來了，不過沒有八月那樣多就是了。 七月的晚霞，紅得像火似的，奇奇怪怪的，老虎、大獅子、馬頭、狗群。這一些雲彩，一到了八月，就都沒有。那滿天紅洞洞的，那滿天金黃的，滿天絳紫的，滿天朱砂色的雲彩，一齊都沒有了，無論早晨或黃昏，天空就再也沒有它們了，就再也看不見它們了。 八月的天空是靜悄悄的，一絲不掛。六月的黑雲，七月的紅雲，都沒有了。一進了八月雨也沒有了，風也沒有了。白天就是黃金的太陽，夜裏就是雪白的月亮。 天氣有些寒了，人們都穿起夾衣來。 晚飯之後，乘涼的人沒有了。院子裏顯得冷清寂寞了許多。 雞鴨都上架去了，豬也進了豬欄，狗也進了狗窩。院子裏的蒿草，因為沒有風，就都一動不動的站著，因為沒有雲，大昴星一出來就亮得和一盞小燈似的了。 在這樣的一個夜裏，馮歪嘴子的女人死了。第二天早晨，正遇著烏鴉的時候，就給馮歪嘴子的女人送殯了。 烏鴉是黃昏的時候，或黎明的時候才飛過。不知道這烏鴉從什麼地方來，飛到什麼地方去，但這一大群遮天蔽瓦的，吵著叫著，好像一大片黑雲似的從遠處來了，來到頭上，不一會又過去了。終究過到什麼地方去，也許大人知道，孩子們是不知道的，我也不知道。 聽說那些烏鴉就過到呼蘭河南岸那柳條林裏去的，過到那柳條林裏去做什麼，所以我不大相信。不過那柳條林，烏煙瘴氣的，不知那裏有些什麼，或者是過了那柳條林，柳條林的那邊更是些個什麼。站在呼蘭河的這邊，只見那烏煙瘴氣的，有好幾里路遠的柳條林上，飛著白白的大鳥，除了那白白的大鳥之外，究竟還有什麼，那就不得而知了。 據說烏鴉就往那邊過，烏鴉過到那邊又怎樣，又從那邊究竟飛到什麼地方去，這個人們不大知道了。 馮歪嘴子的女人是產後死的，傳說上這樣的女人死了，大廟不收，小廟不留，是將要成為遊魂的。 我要到草棚子去看，祖父不讓我去看。 我在大門口等著。 我看見了馮歪嘴子的兒子，打著靈頭幡送他的母親。 靈頭幡在前，棺材在後，馮歪嘴子在最前邊，他在最前邊領著路向東大橋那邊走去了。 那靈頭幡是用白紙剪的，剪成絡絡網，剪成葫椒眼，剪成不少的輕飄飄的繐子，用一根杆子挑著，扛在那孩子的肩上。 那孩子也不哭，也不表示什麼，只好像他扛不動那靈頭幡，使他扛得非常吃力似的。 他往東邊越走越遠了。我在大門外看著，一直看著他走過了東大橋，幾乎是看不見了，我還在那裏看著。 烏鴉在頭上呱呱的叫著。 過了一群，又一群，等我們回到了家裏，那烏鴉還在天空裏叫著。 ten 馮歪嘴子的女人一死，大家覺得這回馮歪嘴子算完了。扔下了兩個孩子，一個四五歲，一個剛生下來。 看吧，看他可怎樣辦！ The old cook said: 看熱鬧吧，馮歪嘴子又該喝酒了，又該坐在磨盤上哭了。 東家西舍的也都說馮歪嘴子這回可非完不可了。那些好看熱鬧的人，都在準備著看馮歪嘴子的熱鬧。 可是馮歪嘴子自己，並不像旁觀者眼中的那樣的絕望，好像他活著還很有把握的樣子似的，他不但沒有感到絕望已經洞穿了他。因為他看見了他的兩個孩子，他反而鎮定下來。他覺得在這世界上，他一定要生根的。要長得牢牢的。他不管他自己有這分能力沒有，他看看別人也都是這樣做的，他覺得他也應該這樣做。 於是他照常的活在世界上，他照常的負著他那分責任。 於是他自己動手餵他那剛出生的孩子，他用筷子餵他，他不吃，他用調匙餵他。 餵著小的，帶著大的，他該擔水，擔水，該拉磨，拉磨。 早晨一起來，一開門，看見鄰人到井口去打水的時候，他總說一聲： 去挑水嗎！ 若遇見了賣豆腐的，他也說一聲： 豆腐這麼早出鍋啦！ 他在這世界上他不知道人們都用絕望的眼光來看他，他不知道他已經處在了怎樣的一種艱難的境地。他不知道他自己已經完了。他沒有想過。 他雖然也有悲哀，他雖然也常常滿滿含著眼淚，但是他一看見他的大兒子會拉著小驢飲水了，他就立刻把那含著眼淚的眼睛笑了起來。 He said: 慢慢的就中用了。 他的小兒子，一天一天的餵著，越餵眼睛越大，胳臂，腿，越來越瘦。 在別人的眼裏，這孩子非死不可。這孩子一直不死，大家都覺得驚奇。 到後來大家簡直都莫名其妙了，對於馮歪嘴子的這孩子的不死，別人都起了恐懼的心理，覺得，這是可能的嗎？這是世界上應該有的嗎？ 但是馮歪嘴子，一休息下來就抱著他的孩子。天太冷了，他就烘了一堆火給他烤著。那孩子剛一咧嘴笑，那笑得才難看呢，因為又像笑，又像哭。其實又不像笑，又不像哭，而是介乎兩者之間的那麼一咧嘴。 但是馮歪嘴子卻歡得不得了了。 He said: 這小東西會哄人了。 or: 這小東西懂人事了。 那孩子到了七八個月才會拍一拍掌，其實別人家的孩子到七八個月，都會爬了，會坐著了，要學著說話了。馮歪嘴子的孩子都不會，只會拍一拍掌，別的都不會。 馮歪嘴子一看見他的孩子拍掌，他就眉開眼笑的。 He said: 這孩子眼看著就大了。 那孩子在別人的眼睛裏看來，並沒有大，似乎一天更比一天小似的。因為越瘦那孩子的眼睛就越大；只見眼睛大，不見身子大，看起來好像那孩子始終也沒有長一般地。那孩子好像是泥做的，而不是孩子了，兩個月之後，和兩個月之前，完全一樣。兩個月之前看見過那孩子，兩個月之後再看見，也絕不會使人驚訝，時間是快的，大人雖不見老，孩子卻一天一天的不同。 看了馮歪嘴子的兒子，絕不會給人以時間上的觀感。大人總喜歡在孩子的身上去觸到時間。但是馮歪嘴子的兒子是不能給人這個滿足的。因為兩個月前看見過他那麼大，兩個月後看見他還是那麼大，還不如去看後花園裏的黃瓜，那黃瓜三月裏下種，四月裏爬蔓，五月裏開花，五月末就吃大黃瓜。 但是馮歪嘴子卻不這樣的看法，他看他的孩子是一天比一天大。 大的孩子會拉著小驢到井邊上去飲水了。小的會笑了，會拍手了，會搖頭了。給他東西吃，他會伸手來拿。而且小牙也長出來了。 微微的一咧嘴笑，那小白牙就露出來了。
