Chapter 21 Country Girl

August has entered autumn. The weather is still so hot. Several children gathered around Uncle Ninth and listened to him tell the story of the Anti-Japanese War. Uncle Ninth was shirtless, smoking a long cigarette while telling the story vividly.

The children squatted or sat, holding their chins with their hands, listening attentively, for fear of missing a wonderful story. Uncle Jiu was a highly respected old man in the village, over eighty years old. He had never married, and had fought against the Japanese.

Chiang Kai-shek also went to Korea. He had no less than ten bullet wounds and knife wounds, which can be said to be a great military exploit. He was already over fifty when he returned from the army and served as deputy minister of the county armed forces. During the Cultural Revolution, he was labeled as a rightist.

He was a counter-revolutionary and closed the cowshed. After the Cultural Revolution, he no longer wanted to be an official and resolutely returned to Muwa Village to be a farmer. Uncle Jiu had been bald for a long time, but he had a small patch on his chin.

He has a beard and looks a bit funny. Uncle Jiu is very kind to people and things. Everyone in the village, young and old, calls him Uncle Jiu.

Jiang Feng had long been tired of hearing these stories. He stretched out a hand behind Uncle Jiu and slowly dragged Uncle Jiu's tobacco bag away. It was said that the tobacco bag was actually just an empty salt bag, and the tobacco bag was filled with half of the salt.

Pack of finely cut tobacco. Jiang Feng poured out the tobacco, grabbed a handful of "cut tobacco" from his trouser pocket and stuffed it into the pipe. He secretly put the pipe back to its original place, then walked to the side and sat waiting for Uncle Jiu to smoke. Jiang Feng

The "cut tobacco" that Feng put in was not good cut tobacco, it was the taro leaves that he picked a few days ago. Jiang Feng was a very naughty boy. He dried the taro leaves and cut them into shreds to prepare Uncle Jiu. This taro

The leaves turn yellow when dried and look no different from tobacco at first glance.

Uncle Jiu was a big smoker and would take a puff in more than ten minutes. No, he picked up the cigarette bag while telling the story. He took out some "cut tobacco" from the cigarette bag and gently rolled the "cut tobacco" into a ball with his two fingers.

Stuffed into the long pipe.

Jiang Feng stretched his neck and waited for Uncle Jiu to light his cigarette. Uncle Jiu slowly took out a match. He had a special skill for lighting cigarettes, striking a match with one hand. Uncle Jiu skillfully took out a match and held the matchbox tightly with his thumb.

Pressing the middle part of the match tightly and pushing it forward, the match head just slipped halfway out of the matchbox, and a faint flame burst out. He held the cigarette rod in one hand and held the flame close to it, and started to smoke it with a "cheep".

.Suddenly he coughed violently, feeling something was wrong, and his throat was itchy. After coughing for a while, he took another puff, but the taste was still wrong. He knocked the tobacco stem twice on the stone to knock out the unburned "tobacco".

He used a cigarette rod to push aside the "cut tobacco" and carefully identified it, and then took out the "cut tobacco" from the cigarette bag. Finally, he realized that these troublemakers were trying to mess with him.

Jiang Feng laughed loudly and asked naughtily: "Uncle Ninth, what does it taste like?"

Uncle Jiu was not angry either. He pointed his cigarette pole at Jiang Feng and said haha, "You naughty boy, you are taking advantage of Uncle Jiu again." Uncle Jiu was always amiable, so the children all loved to joke with him, as long as it wasn't too much.

He won't scold the children if they go too far.

Qiaoying, who was not far away, came over and pulled up her nephew Zhengguo who was sitting on the ground, patted the dirt on his butt and asked, "Are you doing anything to harm Uncle Ninth?"

Zheng Guo looked up at his sister-in-law and said childishly: "No, if you don't believe me, just ask Uncle Jiu."

"It's okay if you don't have it. Don't be naughty. My aunt is going to work today. You should keep an eye on your brother at home and pack some food for grandpa to eat at noon." Qiaoying said, stroking his head.

"Yeah." Zheng Guo replied sensibly. He often has to do these things. Maybe the children of poor people become sensible early.

Qiaoying, Ah Xiang, and Hailun's wife Xuemei, the three of them went up the mountain together to look for Litsea cubeba. (Litsea cubeba is a kind of wild tree fruit, the size of a mung bean, used to make oil and is used in some industries.

.) Youcai bought it for 50 cents a pound. Last night when I was playing with Ah Xiang, Xuemei came to make an appointment and said she knew where Litsea Litsea was found and invited them to pick it together. Qiaoying has been since she saw Liping wearing a bra a few days ago.

After that, she was very envious, but she didn't have any extra change and didn't dare to think about it. Now Xuemei came to pick fruit, and she thought to herself that when the fruit was sold, she would go to the city and buy two sets. So today the three of them were going to go up the mountain.

Looking for fruit.

Qiaoying felt very happy, and her steps became much lighter when she walked. She hummed a little tune unconsciously.

Ah Xiang asked from behind: "What are you enjoying? Did you find money?"

Qiaoying turned around and smiled, ignored him and continued humming.

Xuemei smiled and said, "It's great to be young and have no worries. It's great that you are young."

Ah Xiang said: "Sister Mei, you are not old either."

Xuemei said leisurely: "I'm going to be thirty, I'm old."

"No, I'm not old at all." Ah Xiang said.

In fact, Xuemei is really not old, she is only twenty-nine years old. In addition, she has not given birth to children, her figure is not out of shape, and she looks like a grown-up girl.

Soon they found a few Litsea cubeba trees that were full of fruits. The snow plums got through the messy Miscanthus grass. They cut down the trees and asked Qiaoying and Ah Xiang to move the branches to a flatter place. A few people started to pick fruits, Litsea cubeba fruits.

It stung my nose and made me sneeze several times.

Qiaoying smiled and said: "Ouch! If you sneeze so hard, that man must be missing you."

Ah Xiang wrinkled her nose, "How can a man think about that? What a man wants is a slender fairy like you."

"Who said it? Men like plump ones." Qiaoying answered quickly.

Ah Xiang grabbed a piece of hay and put it under her butt, "You're not a man, how do you know what they like."

Qiaoying said: "Plump and big breasts, it would be strange if you don't like them."

Xuemei spoke: "You two little sluts are not shy about saying this in broad daylight."

Qiaoying said: "What are you afraid of? No one will hear you." After saying this, she laughed.

Ah Xiang asked Xuemei: "What did you and Brother Lun say at night?"

Xuemei immersed herself in picking fruits for a long time before saying: "We are an old married couple, what else can we say?"

"Why not? Why would you marry a wife if you have nothing to say?" Ah Xiang argued.

Xuemei fell into deep thought for a while. She and Hailun seemed very happy to outsiders. In fact, there was no child in the family. From morning to night, they were just two familiar to slightly unfamiliar faces. Over time, they had no language. This kind of life made her very happy.

Depressed.

After a long time, the picking was almost finished. Ah Xiang picked up the knife and went to chop down another tree. "Wow!" The tree full of fruits fell down. Suddenly Ah Xiang screamed. Qiaoying looked over and saw Ah Xiang holding his head with both hands.

She ran out. Dozens of little wasps buzzed behind her and chased her. Before Qiaoying could hide, she was stung at the corner of her eye. She quickly ran away. Xuemei and Qiaoying felt strong and ran away to hide.

After a long while, I saw Xuemei emerging from the roots of a tree.

Xuemei looked at it and said, "Come out, the wasps have dispersed."

Qiaoying and Ah Xiang walked out separately. It turned out that when Ah Xiang chopped down the tree just now, he had hit the nest of the wild wasps. Qiaoying covered the burning corners of her eyes and squinted her eyes because of the sting. She only relied on her other hand to see people.

He had only one eye, like a one-eyed dragon. Ah Xiang was stung six times, his face was swollen like a pig's head, there was only a slit for his eye, and his lips were as thick as sausages. He looked extremely embarrassed. Qiaoying and Xuemei couldn't bear to see it.

She squatted on the ground and laughed loudly. Xuemei was lucky not to be stung.

Two days later, Hailun cranked up the tractor and drove to the county town to help Ah Feng purchase goods. Ah Xiang and Qiaoying sat precariously on the truck. They had been picking mountains for several days.

Litsea cubeba, each sold for more than 40 yuan.

Last night Qiaoying mysteriously said to Ah Xiang: "Do you want to wear a bra?"

Ah Xiang blushed and said, "I don't want to." In fact, she really wanted to. In the past few days, she had seen the outline of Liping's bra under her clothes and thought it was amazing. It would also look good if she wore it herself.

Qiaoying saw her thoughts and deliberately teased her: "Your breasts are so big. If you don't wear them for a few years, they will hang down to your belly button. You will be very ugly."

"It's ugly as long as it's ugly, what's the big deal." Ah Xiang said with a smile.

"I really don't want to, then I will have to invite Lin Fen to go tomorrow." Qiaoying pretended to sigh.

"Where to go?" Ah Xiang asked.

"I'm going to the street to buy bras, but you're not going." Qiaoying laughed secretly in her heart.

"You dare to wear it? If you dare to wear it, I can accompany you to buy it." Ah Xiang almost decided that if you buy it, I will buy it too.

Qiaoying poked her armpits and tickled her, "Seeing as you are still pretending, I have already wanted to buy it, right?"

Ah Xiang twisted her body, smiled brightly, and begged for mercy: "Don't poke me, don't poke me, can't I buy it?"

At almost noon, the tractor finally arrived at the county town, spitting out black smoke. They walked hand in hand into the bustling polder market. The market stalls were filled with various items, which dazzled them. They turned around a few times and found a stall in a stall.

I stopped in front of a stall filled with colorful bras and panties.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman. When she saw someone coming, she quickly asked: "You two girls, what style do you like?"

Qiaoying and Ah Xiang had never seen much of the world, so how could they dare to talk in front of so many people? Their cheeks were slightly red and they lowered their heads in silence.

The middle-aged woman noticed that they were country girls and said, "You make your own choice and take your time."

Qiaoying and Ahxiang nodded and started to choose. Qiaoying chose two white bras and two red briefs. Seeing that Ahxiang was still comparing various styles, it took a long time to choose a white one and a pink one.

Colorful. There were also two pairs of underwear with bows. Qiaoying whispered in her ear: "Your a** is so big, didn't you choose a smaller one?"

Ah Xiang blushed and noticed that the sizes were divided into large, medium and small. She and Qiaoying chose the medium size. She quickly changed to the large size. Qiaoying asked how much it would cost? The middle-aged woman wanted to kill the country people, so she spoke

Qiaoying's two sets cost thirty yuan, and the fragrant one cost thirty-five yuan. Qiaoying knew that the prices offered by the sellers were all from Hunan. Fortunately, Liping told her the price that night, and she already felt low. They and Zhong

The young woman haggled and haggled, and finally agreed on Qiaoying's price of fifteen yuan. Ah Xiang's pink one was a relatively new model, and it cost seventeen yuan. Ah Xiang didn't care, if it weren't for the fear that Qiaoying would laugh at her, she would still

I want both of them to be colorful. Qiaoying also bought a few kilograms of fruit. She has two little nephews at home. She loves these two little guys very much. Every time she comes to the county town, she will buy some fruits and share them with them. Ah Xiangze

I bought two copies of "Story Club" and one copy of "Friends".

The two of them walked around for a while, and when they were tired, they went to the intersection to wait for Hailun. Qiaoying teased Ah Xiang: "You little bitch, you said you didn't want it last night, but today you bought colored ones." (Dear friends, if you
