Chapter Twenty Nine

When Ban Lao first came to Guo Yu Village, there were two baskets carried on one pole. One end of the basket carried bedding, and the other end carried his son Ban Nao.

People in Guoyu Village have a habit that no matter who comes to beg for food, they must feed the beggar. Bancai carried a load into Guoyu Village, followed by several big dogs biting the brains in the basket.

She was so frightened that she cried. Dougua Niang saw her through the fence in her yard and let the father and son into her yard. The firewood gate of the fence was closed, so the dogs could not enter the yard and chewed through the fence. Dougua Niang took the board

He took the brain out of the basket and watched the child's nose flowing across the river. Bancai took off the broken straw hat on his head and fanned it while saying: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Douguaniang asked: "What is this child's name? Why can't he see you?

His mother"? Bancai lamented: "The child is called Ban Nao, his mother left halfway, but we, father and son, are left."

Dougua Niang said nothing more. People in Guoyu Village were used to calling death "go". Whoever died was the one who left. I thought to myself, this child is so pitiful because he died at such a young age.

Dougua's father came back, carrying Dougua on his back. Dougua saw his mother holding a child in her arms, and cried for her mother to hold him. She held a child in one arm, and the two children were the same size.

Dougua's father handed the dry tobacco pot to Bancai, who took it with both hands, lit the cigarette, and smoked silently. Dougua's mother began to cook, and the two children played in the yard. After a while, Dougua's father said: "Stay here

Well, these barren mountains are full of fat. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, no one will die of hunger."

Bancai said: "I don't have anything, what can I eat now?"

Dad Dougua said: "After dinner later, I will take you to find Guo Ziyi. He is the owner of our village. As long as you are willing to stay, he will give you seeds, farm tools, and the rations for cooking at that time. We will collect rent after autumn."

If the deduction is not completed this year, it will be deducted again next year.”

Bancai asked: "The mountains around here are all Naguo - what's the matter?"

Dougua's father said: "That's right, Guo Ziyi is a good person. Don't worry, he will never make things difficult for you." While talking, Dougua's mother cooked the rice. In the yard, a stone table was supported with stone slabs and several stone piers were placed around it.

Everyone gathered around the stone table to eat. The rice was pumpkin porridge. The two men picked up the old bowl and sucked it into their stomachs, sweating profusely.

After dinner, the two men went to see Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi was really generous and said: "Plant millet in the spring and harvest in autumn. In half a year, three bushels of millet per month will be enough for you and your son. I will lend you two stones of millet. This year

If it's not over yet, you'll have to pay it back next year. I won't collect your land rent this year. It depends on the situation next year. If the situation is good, you'll be charged more. If the situation is bad, you won't be charged."

The two men plated two stones of millet and carried it back in their pockets. Bancai said: "I will give you all these millets. Let's eat together. During the day, I will go up and down with you, and in the dark (at night), I will come back with you. Let's eat together."

Ban Nao calls you godfather and your wife godmother." Dougua dad thought for a long time and asked: "How do you divide the millet harvested in autumn? Ban Lao raised his voice a little: How do you divide it? Pour it all into your village, my father and son.

It’s okay as long as you don’t starve to death.”

At first, Bancai didn’t have much idea. He worked and ate every day, and worked while eating. It rained a few times during the dog days, and Migu grew wildly. It was another good year. In summer, two men stripped naked and asked Dougua Niang to bring a basin of cold water.

It's so cool and comfortable when you put it down on your pocket! Two children are chasing each other and playing in the yard. A melon tent is set up on the stone table, and the loofahs are hanging down, making people look at it with greed. Two men are setting up a melon tent next to the yard.

Ban Zai and his son lived in the shack. Dougua Niang ground the millet into rice, ground the millet into flour, and ate millet buns and millet porridge. That day, Ban Zai saw a rabbit crawling into a tree hole.

, waiting under the tree, and caught the rabbit when it came out, and the family had a delicious meal of rabbit meat.

At the market in Wagou Town, Dougua Dad went to the market to measure salt and buy oil. The people in the mountains basically lived a self-sufficient life. There were not many places to spend money. They had little to eat and their lives were not particular. At noon, Dougua Dad did not have anything to do. When she came back, Dougua Niang served Bancai rice. She saw a leech crawling on Bancai's naked body, and she slapped the leech to death with her hand. Bancai looked at Douguaniang gratefully, their eyes met, and she felt like Dougua was being hit. There was something strange in Mom's eyes. Ban Zi immediately grabbed Dou Gua Niang's hand, but Dou Gua Niang didn't pull her hand away. She even leaned towards Ban Zi, looked at the two children who were playing, and whispered: " Daddy Dougua said he won’t come back from the darkness, so I’ll leave the door open for you.”

After dinner, Bancai took the hoe to dig the ground, holding the hoe handle with both hands, but he had no intention of working anyway. There was a disaster in his hometown, and Bancai took his wife and son out to escape the famine. The man who was rushing along the way did not know that Bannao What's the benefit to my mother? My daughter-in-law actually ran away with that slut. Dad Dougua took Bancai in, and now Bancai was eating and drinking, but his heart became wild, and he actually plotted against Douguaniang... What the hell does this man have? Conscience?! If you eat five grains and think of six grains, and push yourself to the limit, what is the difference between a pig and a dog? Ban Lai slapped himself hard twice. He felt that he would never do such an immoral thing! If a person wants to repay his kindness, he must not burn bridges.

After thinking about it, he felt at peace in his heart. Ban Lai kept hoeing until dark. He deliberately went home late, hoping that his father Dou Gua would come back soon. Under the moonlight, Ban Lai walked in with the hoe and saw Dou Gua Niang naked. She stood under the loofah shed with a basin of bath water next to her. The water drops on her body shone in the moonlight. In summer, all the people in the mountains took a bath in the yard. When Dougua Niang saw the board coming in, she didn't hide away. Instead, she said: "His godfather" , come here and rub your back for me."

It was a windless summer night, and the cicadas' cries were disturbing. The moonlight shone through the loofah leaves on the slate table, and the table looked strange. The slab boy was leisurely giving a bath to Dougua Niang, and the fat girl was Jidanzi has already made people's hearts ablaze! Ban Lai leaned the hoe against the fence, like a hungry wolf, and hugged Dougua Niang tightly from behind. Dou Gua Niang turned around and smiled and said: Wash your body first, and you will be all over the body when you get up. Refreshing. But Ban Zhang didn't care much. He pressed Dougua Niang on the stone slab. He was so anxious that when he untied his trousers, he pulled the slip knot into a tight knot. The man's trousers looked too wide, and the bulging feeling made Ban Zhang stifle him. Feeling uncomfortable, the board ignored him and pushed it in with his pants. Dougua Niang screamed: "Oh, his godfather, you are much thicker than Dougua Daddy."

Hearing the creak of the firewood door, Ban Zai was startled and said, "Dad Dougua is back." Dou Gua Niang hugged Ban Zai tightly, preventing Ban Zai from getting up, and said, "It's your fault. Don't be afraid. That's a dog hitting the door." ". But Bancai heard the sound of people's footsteps gradually disappearing. He tore open Dougua Niang, stood up, walked to the firewood door, and when he reached out to open the door, he found that the firewood door was bolted from the outside. So someone must have been here just now, then People are really smart. Bolting the door from the outside is like reminding the people inside that someone already knows about the plank day bean melon... Such anecdotes are spread by the wind and will spread far.

The board was leaning against the firewood door softly, feeling a little scared. Dougua Niang hugged the board from behind, licked the back of the board with her tongue, crawled into the ear of the board and said: Let's continue, I know the things in this village. , the bottom of everyone’s pot is dark, even if the sky falls tomorrow morning, let’s suffer in the dark ground first.

When the sun was shining red, Dougua's father came back. He used a broom to clean the inside and outside of the courtyard. Dougua Niang cooked a pot of gruel as usual. The two men drank the gruel with shredded radish and were about to go to the ground.

Dad Dougua said: "Bancai, don't leave yet, I have two things to say."

Bancai sat down, with something in his mind and a look of discomfort on his face. He struck up a conversation and asked, "His godfather, what do you want to say?"

Dad Dougua put a pot of cigarettes, lit it, finished smoking, lit another pot, and then said: "I bolted the door in the dark night (last night) from the outside. I was worried that the villagers would see it and look down on it."

Dougua.”

Bancai's face turned red and pale, and beads of sweat broke out on his head. Dougua's father still said it calmly and matter-of-factly: "Actually, it's not all your fault. Female dogs are not coquettish, and male dogs are hard to get on top of. I know Dougua, Mother."

, Love the day, I am addicted. But you can’t live in this yard anymore. You will move immediately today. I have already checked out the place for you. It is in the rotten kiln on the other side of the mountain. Dougua Niang and I lived there when we first came here.

There, you can cook and eat by yourself, and the food harvested after autumn will be half of the family. From now on, we will each build our own stoves and each forge our own iron."

Guo Ziyi and her grandson Guo Quanfa rode on mules to Wagou Town to purchase medicinal materials. Although the drug store was sold out, the business of purchasing medicinal materials did not stop. After Guo Ziyi collected the medicinal materials, he used mules to carry them to the mule and horse shop outside the east gate of Fengqi.

A passenger on his way to Chang'an hired a mule to take him with him. Although he didn't earn as much as before, he could still make do. Seeing his grandson growing up day by day, Guo Ziyi placed his hopes on his grandson again. He had encountered so many things in his life, and his heart had become dull.

The more I think about it, the more I think about it. If the pot is broken and the family is broken up, as long as there are people, Guo Quanfa will be able to take on the responsibility in three to five years, and the Guo family will be as prosperous as before.

After collecting the medicinal materials, the grandfather and grandson each ate a bowl of mutton soaked and rode their mules back to Guoyu Village. On the way, they saw a man lying in the middle of the road. The man who opened the medicine shop was kind-hearted. Guo Ziyi got off the mule and saw that it was a man.

The woman still had breath when she touched her nostrils, and she looked young, so she pinched the center of the woman's nose with her fingers. After a while, the woman recovered her breath, opened her eyes and saw an old man and a young man, with tears streaming down her face.

: "Uncle, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry that I can't even breathe."

Guo Quanfa took out two meat buns from his mule bag. He bought them for his wife Nian Cuiying. Every time he went out on the street, Guo Quanfa would buy some food for his daughter-in-law. The woman stretched out her hand to take the meat buns and wolfed them down.

After that, he kowtowed to Guo Ziyi and his grandson: "Uncle, I want to ask you about this person. Have you ever seen a man named Bancai?" Guo Ziyi patted his head and thought about it. Not long ago, Dougua's father attracted a fugitive. That man seemed to be called Bancai.

What "board"? So he asked the woman: "Does that man also have a boy?" The woman suddenly became energetic: "That boy is my son Ban Nao"!

That night, the family of three was finally reunited. The woman told her man that the rusher was a liar who deceived her and then abandoned her.

Bancai listened coldly and thought further.

The next morning, Ban Lai went to the fields to hoe as usual, and Dougua's father also came. The fields had not yet been separated, and the two men's hoes touched each other. They stopped at each other, and the cigarette pot heads were knocked against the cigarette pot heads.

Dad Dougua asked: "I heard that your wife is not dead. She came back in the dark night (last night)"? Bancai replied coldly: "That's right, she ran away with someone and was dumped by someone again. Women are more competitive than others."

If a man is cruel, he will kiss whoever he wants." The two men stopped talking and smoked silently. After pausing for a while, Banzi suddenly asked Dougua's father: "Do you want to have sex? I will leave in the dark today and leave that woman to you.

If I beat your wife, if you beat my wife, we will be even."
