Back to the Northeast 1970

The atmosphere at home was undoubtedly heavy. When Yan Baoshu asked, Yan Baofu stood up from the wooden pier in front of the stove, looked down at his mother who was crying softly, and said: "It's nothing, go into the house with brother .”

Yan Baoshu reckoned that Yan Baofu had something to say and it was not easy to say it in front of the whole family, so he understood, and followed Yan Baofu into the big house with a limp.The room was warm, and after entering the room, Yan Baofu got on the kang and sat on the top of the kang, while Yan Baoshu stood with his hands behind his back against the fire wall, "Second brother, why did our father scold our mother?"

Yan Baofu sighed, lowered his head and glanced at Yan Baoshu's leg, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"Ah..." Yan Baoshu drew a long voice, and then explained: "On the way back, I was playful and fell down when I slipped."

Yan Baofu raised his head, and said with concern: "I don't grow snacks when I'm too old." Yan Baofu shook his head, then got off the kang, pulled his shoes to the desk, opened the cupboard door and took out a half bottle of loose liquor from inside, "Go to the kang and take off your pants."

Yan Baoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Second Brother, what do you want to do?"

Yan Baofu was pouring white wine into a small bowl, "What can I do, rub your legs, don't make your legs swollen and hurt even more." Yan Baofu poured a small bowl of white wine, and took a match from the desk, " Don’t smudge, get on the kang quickly and take off your pants.”

Yan Baoshu's leg does hurt a bit, if he let it go because of embarrassment, maybe even walking will become difficult tomorrow.Thinking of this, Yan Baoshu didn't refuse Yan Baofu's kindness any more. He sat on the edge of the kang and untied his shoelaces and took off his second cotton shoes.Yan Baoshu was really embarrassed to take off his underpants. Wearing line pants is already his bottom line. This is not a bathhouse, so there is no need to be honest with each other.

Yan Baofu can be regarded as a half-timer, with a smile on his face, he said: "I'm still embarrassed."

Yan Baoshu smiled and said, "Second brother, how old am I, how can I be embarrassed?"

"Okay, okay, then wear line pants." Yan Baofu sat on the edge of the kang, struck a match and threw it into a small bowl. Because the alcohol concentration of liquor is high, the match ignited as soon as it was thrown in. "Pull up the trouser legs .”

Yan Baoshu did as he did, and when he pulled up his trouser legs, he realized that his knees were already swollen. Looking at Yan Baofu again, he frowned, and said in a reprimanded tone: "I wasn't so picky when I was your age, look Look at how the corrugated cover has fallen, if you don't rub it, you won't even be able to walk tomorrow."

Yan Baoshu was very moved by Yan Baofu's concern, he bared his teeth and said with a grin: "Second brother, you are so kind."

Yan Baofu smiled, "Don't bullshit me, it's useless to fool me, if you are not careful in the future, I will ignore you, and then I will stinky you with stinky shit, hmph."

"Ah, I promise there will be no next time, so be careful."

Yan Baofu nodded, then grabbed Yan Baoshu's ankle, carefully lifted it up and placed it on his knee, quickly grabbed the small bowl with his right hand, and brought a small fire to Yan Baoshu's knee, back and forth Knead quickly.

"Brother, second brother..." Yan Baoshu is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid of fire. This kind of visual stimulation is too scary.

Yan Baofu held Yan Baoshu's ankle tightly to prevent him from moving, and said with a smile: "Don't move around, bear with it and pass."

"It's scalding to death." Yan Baoshu grinned and kicked his legs straight, trying to escape from Yan Baofu's bondage.

Yan Baofu laughed loudly, "I'll be seventeen soon, how can I be so timid."

Yan Baoshu didn't dare to read it anymore, closed his eyes and turned his head away. In order to distract his attention, he had no choice but to ask Yan Baofu: "Second brother, you haven't told me what happened to our parents and mother."

While rubbing Yan Baoshu's legs, Yan Baofu said, "Why, isn't our mother feeding that hen to death?"

Yan Baoshu opened his eyes in surprise, looked at Yan Baofu and said, "Ah? Our mother fed that hen to death?" You see, this is fate, this hen managed to escape from the weasel's mouth It was a catastrophe, but in the end, it was fed too much by Jin Guiqin and made it to death. This is also destined to become a family meal.

"It's not good, I'm dying." Yan Baofu wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he could only keep shaking his head.

"Just because of this, my father scolded our mother?" Yan Baoshu thought that Yan Yonggui wouldn't scold Jin Guiqin for a hen, right?Although the family is poor, it is not so poor that the sky will fall if one of them dies!

Yan Baofu said helplessly: "You can't just look at the surface when you look at the problem. Our father scolded our mother because he was angry in his heart. The younger ones are too young to be scolded. My sister and I are both working and our father is not good at talking. As for you, you used to have a lot of trouble with our father because of that matter, so looking at it this way, only our mother is left."

Yan Baoshu asked curiously, "Isn't our dad angry because of the hen?"

Yan Baofu nodded heavily, "It's nothing if a chicken dies, it's because my dad came back from outside today and ran into our third uncle and his wife, no matter how you say our dad is third uncle's brother, he has already bowed his head to say hello Yes, but as soon as our third uncle and third aunt saw our father, they ran away from the distance, as if they saw..." Yan Baofu paused, "Hey, I can't even tell."

The truth of the matter came to light, it was Yan Yonggui who got angry outside and came home to vent his anger on Jin Guiqin for the sake of a dead chicken.When it comes to two people getting married and having children, how can there be no stumbling, mutual understanding and mutual support is what should be done, but Yan Yonggui is a bit out of trouble today, his brothers don’t treat you as a human being, you just want to go up Come on, isn't it fun to find eggplants without a basket and find nothing for yourself?

Yan Baoshu’s first impression was that Yan Yonggui was looking for trouble, but after thinking about it, he realized that he didn’t feel pain in his back when he was standing and talking. What age was Yan Yonggui, and he had a very strong sense of family and brotherhood. It's all important, because he made mistakes in the past, so he is willing to lower his profile and say hello to his brothers, isn't it for the sake of being able to come and go frequently with his family like before? I believe this is the one from Pianxiazi The result of precept and example.

People do not distinguish between high and low, but they are divided into three or six grades. It is precisely because everyone has the ability to think, so they cannot be generalized. If a person is kind, he thinks that everyone is kind. Yan Yonggui takes "home" as his goal and wants to He asked for a big reunion, but in the eyes of the other brothers, he was a god of plague and broom star. Once he was involved, if the movement came again, wouldn’t it be a matter of minutes to eat melons? If you can get away, dodge as far away as you can.

It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework. Yan Baoshu didn't know who was right and who was wrong in this matter for a while, but in terms of this matter, Jin Guiqin was the most unlucky. He must be wronged in his heart, but as children, he and Yan Baofu and others None of them have the right to open their mouths to complain. To put it bluntly, it is a matter between the two of them. After all, apart from Jin Guiqin, Yan Yonggui can't find another person in this family who can say a thoughtful word.

Thinking of this, Yan Baoshu felt relieved, "Second brother, you didn't participate in this matter, did you?"

"I'm ashamed to join the team." Yan Baofu smiled helplessly: "Our father has our mother in his heart, and he verbally scolds because he feels uncomfortable. I believe our mother will understand."

"Well, that's good, let them solve it by themselves."

During the time when Yan Baofu was rubbing Yan Baoshu's legs, the outside room became extremely quiet, and finally even Yan Yufen and a few children entered the big house from the outside room.

"What's wrong with Baoshu's leg?" Yan Yufen entered the door and saw Yan Baoshu's swollen knee.

Yan Baofu said with a smile: "It's not because of Tao, Heideng ran to play slippery, and if he didn't fall, he would fall."

Yan Yufen breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Yan Baoshu was beaten up by those children from Tiedaodong again.Yan Yufen stepped forward and observed Yan Baoshu's legs, "It's good to let your second brother rub your legs, don't be unable to walk tomorrow." Yan Yufen sighed, "You have been sick and suffering a lot this year. , My heart is...stuck up." Yan Yufen felt sorry for her younger brother, and after a moment of silence, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't sister Minger get you a red pocket to wear, so as to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters."

Yan Baoshu was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, "Sister, the red pockets on Yufang Yuxiang's body are clothes, but on me, they are the Four Olds, feudal superstitions, what to do if someone finds out .”

Yan Baofu also thought of this level, "Don't talk about that, what do half of the boys wear?"

How can Yan Yufen not know that this is the "four olds", why would she want to engage in those feudal superstitious tricks, but the problem is right in front of her eyes, this year Yan Baoshu was either injured or beaten. You can't just watch your younger brother suffer. "It doesn't matter if it's useful or not. If someone finds out, sister will carry it, and you will be criticized at worst. Anyway, sister can't bear to see you get hurt again."

Yan Baofu's mentality was slightly shaken, and he nodded after thinking for a moment, "Why don't we try?"

"No...try..." Yan Baoshu couldn't make a coherent sentence. All he could see from Yan Yufen's expression was worry and concern. If he declined Yan Yufen's kindness, it would be the same as abandoning her. this care.

Seeing that Yan Baoshu was struggling, Yan Yufen added another dose of medicine, "Baoshu, you don't know, your second brother also wore red pockets when he was your age, and then my sister will wash and clean your second brother's pockets. I'll wear it for you."

"Sister." Yan Baofu blushed slightly, "Why do you tell Baoshu everything?"

Yan Baoshu said with a smile: "Second Brother, did you really wear it?"

Yan Baofu glared at him, turned around and sat down beside the desk with a small bowl in his hand, "Go through it, if you don't like it, don't wear it."

"How can I dislike it?" Yan Baoshu looked at Yan Yufen with a smile, "Sister, will you and the second brother always treat me well? Even if I make mistakes in the future, you will not ignore me, right?"

Yan Yufen and Yan Baofu glanced at each other and both smiled.

The author has something to say:

Last night I raised a question about the Northeast dialect of "no offal water". I asked a few more questions yesterday, and we chatted for a while. In fact, this offal refers to pig offal or something, right?But many people around me don’t understand that way. For example, when we go out to eat, I sit at the table and eat without raising my eyes. It’s like I haven’t eaten in 100 years. Yes, at this time, someone will say, “You Why haven't you been in the water, why haven't you eaten?" That's probably what it meant.

In today’s chapter, there’s another esoteric dialect—a hand looking for an eggplant without a basket. Some people say it’s nitpicking, but what my friends and I have researched is that it means more to find trouble when there’s nothing to do.

The last thing I want to say is that the red pocket is gone.This thing is actually a bit of a side ball. It can be said to be clothes, but if you want to talk about the inside, it is true. I remember that there used to be a little boy who would always leave a small braid on the back of his head, and he could not cut it off until he was a teenager.As for the red pocket, it also has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and avoiding disasters, it depends on how you think about it.
