Anecdote of the Northeast

After my parents got married, they moved to live in the county. My mother works in the county primary school, so it is inconvenient to go back and forth.My dad is a craftsman, so it doesn't matter where he works, not to mention that the transportation in the county is convenient, so it's convenient to collect medicines.

My childhood was quite colorful. Although there was a mother who insisted on studying you every day, and a father who was very tired at work and wanted to see you study, but this did not stop me from having a longing Free unruly mind.

Every summer vacation, our family will go back to the village to live. My uncle and my grandmother live in the old house.Although it is divided among four people, each person's house is still not small, and it is not a problem to accommodate seven or eight people. In 1990, my uncle planted fruit trees to earn some money, and then renovated the house.

Now this old house, even if all four of my father and brother come back with their children during the Chinese New Year, they can live in it.

I went to elementary school when I was six years old. At that time, I went to school very early. However, because my birthday is quite special, when I was introduced to the outside world, I was said to be eight years old. In this way, I will not be conspicuous in our class. up.

But our homeroom teacher is my mother's colleague, so naturally he knows that I am actually younger than the classmates in the class, so he takes care of me more. When we are on duty in groups, he always assigns me to my cousin's group, so as not to be bullied.My cousin is the son of one of my cousins. He is one year older than me and looks a bit older than me.

I have been a small person since I was a child. Until I entered high school, except for a few exceptions, I was always the shortest in the whole grade. relatively short.

There is no way, men in the Northeast are generally tall, especially where we are backed by mountains, every household can get some game, nutrition can keep up, and there are not many short ones.

Pulling away, let’s talk about my childhood.

When I was in my hometown, I was the youngest in the family, and even the two children of my uncle’s family were older than me, so every time I went back to my hometown, I would become a little follower, following behind the big brothers, going up the mountain to catch rabbits, and down the river Touching loach, it feels like falling into a mud pond every day when you go home.

Although my mother often pokes me on the head angrily, my grandma never talks about us. In her opinion, it is better to find some boys, but I am not allowed to catch animals that dig holes in the mountains.

The so-called animals that burrow in the mountains are mainly five kinds of foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and mice.

In many places in Northeast China, especially in my hometown, these five animals cannot be killed if you see them.These five animals, known as the Northeast Wujiaxian, have spirituality and intelligence, and can be cultivated into earth immortals.

Fox Fairy (fox), Yellow Fairy (weasel), White Fairy (hedgehog), Willow Fairy (snake), Gray Fairy (mouse), commonly known as "Fox Yellow White Willow Gray" are the five immortals in Northeast China. Enshrining them can protect the safety of the family .

Of course, there are also some people who lead the five immortals to solve various troubles that cannot be solved by the secular world. They are called disciples of the horse.

I was young at the time, and I didn’t understand why my grandma wouldn’t let me kill these five animals, but I didn’t think too much about it, because in my opinion at the time, none of these animals could be eaten, and since they couldn’t be eaten, there was no need to catch them .

Later, when I was in the third grade, during the summer vacation, the school organized a "elimination of the four pests" activity. At the beginning, it was asked to hand in the dead flies, [-] per person.

There are several of these things at a garbage station. If a few friends gather together, hundreds of them can be swept out in two days, and there are [-] leftovers for each person. No one keeps these things, and they are all handed over. head teacher.

Our homeroom teacher is Xu Simiao, a young man who was young. He was very enthusiastic when assigning tasks and encouraged us to eliminate harm. When we handed in the results of our labor, we were all frozen.

Every time I reach out to pick it up, I seem to muster up a lot of courage. It is said that after returning home, the whole person lay on the bed, crying all night, staring at the two red rabbit eyes to go to school the next day .

Fifty flies a week, we little friends had a great time, but I suffered from my delicate head teacher.But our homeroom teacher was able to practice it later. By the last day when we handed in the flies, she no longer appeared with the rabbit's eyes on her face.

Originally, we thought that after handing in the flies, we would not be able to go out to play again. Unexpectedly, the school assigned another task of "removing the four pests", killing rats, and each person handed in ten rat tails every week.

At the beginning, we all caught mice in the corridors of our house. In those days, it was not new to have mice in the corridors.But I never got started with this job directly, it was all done by my dad.

Catching flies only requires swinging the racket, but catching mice requires hands-on work.My mother, probably because she has been living in the city, is more serious about this aspect, and she will not let me touch dead mice. Even my father, during the few days of catching mice, was not allowed to enter the house unless he took a shower.

Pay attention, it's a bath.There was no way to take a bath at home in those days, and it cost two yuan to go to the bathhouse to wash.For this matter, my dad scolded our school leader at home every day, and he had to hide my mother's back, because that was also her leader.

Later, the mice in the corridor were taken to their old nests, and the friends had no place to catch them. Finally, they came up with a way to go to the mountains to carry the mouse nests on weekends.

Originally, I didn't want to go. Because of my mother's strong interference, I have never caught a mouse with my own hands, so I am a little timid.But I was excited by my friends, and I agreed with excitement.

If this fan is a man, especially when he was young, he would be afraid of being called timid, not to mention that I was somewhat rebellious at the time.

At the beginning, they were all in the fields or at the foot of the mountains. In the countryside, rats are also very courageous, and they are everywhere.Dogs are popular here, but cats are not. Dogs catching mice are not professional at all.

Although I really joined the ranks of killing rats and eradicating the "four pests", I don't know why, but I feel more and more uncomfortable.

I always feel that the mice on the mountain side are not all as hateful as those in the county town.At that time, I thought I was wondering why they were all mice. I thought the ones in the mountains looked better than the ones in the city.

Later, the mice in the fields and at the foot of the mountain were almost caught by us. If we want to catch them again, we have to go up the mountain.

I don't want to go up the mountain, because my grandma often told me that the mice in the mountains are very powerful, have wisdom roots, and can cultivate.At that time, "Legend of the New White Snake" was playing on TV, and I didn't feel that my grandma was lying to me.

Catching mice at the bottom of the mountain is okay, but I won't go up the mountain. Anyway, the mouse tails have already had enough tasks for this week, so I don't plan to play with them anymore.

So I bid farewell to a few friends who had been catching mice, and planned to enter the village. In this village, there is my grandma’s sister, that is, my aunt who lives here. She has always liked me very much. I thought, go there for a while dinner, and then wait for them to go down the mountain and then take the bus home together.

Although the little friends expressed contempt for my behavior of running away, they didn't say anything about taking me with them. They probably thought that my combat effectiveness was too low and I was a little squeamish.

Conscience of heaven and earth, I just wore a plastic glove when catching mice, which was clearly required by the school teacher.

My aunt's house has always been very lively, with people coming and going every day, which probably has something to do with her occupation.I was still young at the time, and I didn't know why my aunt's house was always so lively. Later, I heard adults say that she was a great god, and she was a doctor and a doctor.

I don't understand what it means to see things, but I understand seeing a doctor, so I have always thought that my aunt and grandma are a barefoot doctor, the kind who practice medicine without a license.

After eating, I played at my aunt's house for a while, and then I fell asleep in a daze. Between half asleep and half awake, I kept hearing someone talking in the next room, which is where my aunt and grandma see patients. I haven't been there, I think some patients came.

However, the sound seemed to be that several groups of people were arguing, and it was very lively. I have a bad temper when I sleep, so I naturally didn't have good words for these people who made me unable to sleep, so I yelled, "Stop arguing, I want to sleep."

Then, the room was quiet all of a sudden, and after a while, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, my aunt was beside me, looking at me with a smile, "Bao Er, you have slept well, get up quickly, the bus is coming soon."

I sat up after dazed for a while, put on my shoes, got off the ground, drank a glass of water, said goodbye to my aunt and grandma, ran to the entrance of the village to wait for my little friend, and went home by car together.

My little friends have gained a lot from going up the mountain this time, and everyone is carrying a small backpack full of them.Another person was carrying a small bag, and the contents of the bag were still moving.

"Zhou Dachuan, this is for you. Isn't your mother from the south? I heard that the people over there are very good. They like to eat this kind of newborn mice. There are several of them, and they are still alive. I will eat them all for you." Bar."

When I first received it, I thought he was trying to shave some of my mouse tails, but when I heard that it was a newborn mouse and it was still alive, I froze there.

In my heart, I scolded this person even more, your family only eats rats, and your whole family eats rats poorly.

After a while, I couldn't help my curiosity. I had never seen this newborn mouse.I opened the bag and looked inside.

I've been looking at it for a long time, but I can't see where the things in it look like mice, maybe the head is more like it?

When the little mouse was born, it was hairless, bald, and very pink.It's just that I should hate mice very much, but when I saw these bare and squeaky little things, I really couldn't associate them with the heinous "grain thief".

Besides, this thing doesn't have a tail yet, it's just such a small strip, it can't be removed at all, take it back alive, my mother may not say anything, but my father can definitely beat me, after all, I scared my mother.

Then the car came, and I dawdled until I was the last one to get on the car. Before getting on the car, I threw the bag into the grass on the side of the road. Later, I also threw the two pieces of hard candy I had left over into the bag.

I just thought, the parents of these unlucky ones have probably been murdered, and I don't like sweets, so I just made it.

Isn't it all written in this novel, the reclusive masters in the martial arts, occasionally see poor unlucky children with broken families and busy lives, they will rescue them.

Although I'm not a hermit expert, but this does not prevent me from having a heart to roam the rivers and lakes, it is better to have a master's addiction in advance than nothing.

When we got in the car, everyone saw that I was not carrying the bag, Qi Qi despised me for a while, and said that he would not play with me in the future.

Anyway, I don't want to play with these people anymore. I didn't feel much about it before. Anyway, now I feel that the faces of these people have become a little annoying. I don't like playing with them anymore.
