Back to the Northeast 1970

Yan Baoshu didn't expect Jing'er to talk to him so quickly, he stood up from the wooden pier with a smile on his face, and walked towards the door of the hut, "I know you, what's the matter?"

Jing'er was kneeling on the kang of the hut with her head sticking out, so her posture looked very weird. She didn't show an overly happy expression, but retracted her head and took out a book, "Can you understand the words written on it?" What is it?"

Such things as comic books are completely extinct in the market in modern society, and those who can own comic books are those who have a special affection for old objects.Yan Baoshu took a look at the cover of the comic book from Jing'er, and was surprised that he read it wrongly. This is not a comic book, but a comic book.

"Are you sure there are words on it?" Yan Baoshu turned to the first page of the comic book, and the story on it was "Mulan Joining the Army" which was familiar to everyone later.

Jing'er raised her hand and threw her braids behind her back, and said with a straight face: "I took the wrong one." After speaking, Jing'er retreated into the room again, and when she poked her head out again, she said, "This is the book."

Yan Baoshu took a look at the comic book, it was called "Chaoyanggou", Yan Baoshu had almost never heard of the story told in this comic book, he looked up at Jing'er, "You want me to help you understand What story?"

"Ah."

Yan Baoshu smiled, "I thought you would be more willing to listen to the stories in this comic book." Yan Baoshu shook the comic book "Mulan Joining the Army".

Jing'er said, "I can understand all the paintings on this."

Yan Baoshu asked with a smile: "Then do you know what the name of this book is? Also, since you understand it, can you tell me what's in it?"

This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, so Jing'er got off the kang, put on her shoes and sat on the edge of the kang in the hut, "I don't know what the name is, and I don't know how to read, but I I understand the story inside, it tells the story of a girl who went to the army to fight against the enemy to defend her home and country.”

Yan Baoshu nodded old-fashionedly, "Almost." Yan Baoshu opened the last page of the comic book while talking. Although the story is a perfect ending, it is a comic book after all, and it is very difficult to explain the details clearly. It is difficult, not to mention that resources are scarce now, and it is impossible to use too much paper, so Yan Baoshu decided, "Jinger, the name of this comic book is "Mulan Joining the Army". As the name suggests, the heroine in the painting is named Hua Mulan. It tells the story of her disguised as a man to join the army instead of her father and fight on the battlefield."

After listening to Yan Baoshu's explanation, Jing'er's eyes widened, which was obviously too excited, "You know this story?"

Yan Baoshu nodded, "Well, I still know."

Jing'er clapped her hands excitedly, "Then when will you have time to tell me?"

"You can do it now." Yan Baoshu turned around and was about to move over the wooden pier and sit at the door of the hut to tell Jinger the story, but before he could do so, Lu Xiangbei and others had already opened the door from the yard and brought them in by the way. There was a cold wind.Lu Xiangbei went straight to the stove, and paused when he saw Yan Baoshu, "Baoshu, what are you talking to Jing'er about?"

Yan Baoshu shook his head, "It's nothing, I apologize to Jing'er."

The story could not be told for the time being, because when it was time for dinner, everyone entered the big room under Feng Chunhong's arrangement. It was still the same, men and women had separate tables, the men sat on the kang, and the women sat around the floor table.Life in the countryside is hard, so Lu Jianhai's family is naturally not as good as Lu Jianjun's family living in the city, but because it is close to the mountains, it is still possible to get some wild animals to serve on the table.

Yan Baoshu sat down next to Lu Xiangbei, looked down at the food on the table and then at the table on the ground. It was obvious that there was a huge difference in the food at the two tables, that is, the staple food was different, although there were not many white flour steamed buns. , but they are all placed on the table of the men's table, while the women's table is all filled with buns.

As an outsider, Yan Baoshu had no right to speak. As for Lu Xiangbei, he couldn't open his mouth in front of the old man. After all, he had always lived like this.Lu Xiangbei saw through Yan Baoshu's mind, secretly squeezed Yan Baoshu's leg under the table, and whispered while no one was paying attention: "It's clear what you can't see."

Indeed, some things must now be out of sight.So, the meal time officially started, and there was wine and meat on the man's table. Because of the good spirits of the Chinese New Year, the wine glasses naturally turned into rice bowls, one bowl after another, and the scene was so lively.Being in such an environment, Yan Baoshu also became unscrupulous. When Shuanzi, Zhuzi and others came to clink bowls with him, Yan Baoshu drank it all in one go, leaving nothing behind.

For nearly two hours, the men were almost drunk. With Lu Jianhai's support, Lu Jianjun went to the West Room. Gu Jun staggered back home because he was in the village and didn't let anyone see him off.Lu Xiangbei and Yan Baoshu were arranged by Feng Chunhong in the back room, which was the partial mansion of the old man's house.

The space in Pianxiazi is very small, there is not even an aisle after entering the house, you have to take off your shoes and go to the kang.Although Yan Baoshu drank a few bowls of wine at night, he was not drunk and remained sober.After getting on the kang, Yan Baoshu took off his cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and sat leaning against the fire wall with his coat on, his legs covered with a thick quilt, "Xiangbei, help me bring my satchel here."

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiangbei asked and handed the satchel to Yan Baoshu, then took off his cotton jacket and trousers and threw them aside, lifted the quilt and got into the bed and lay down, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Yan Baoshu took out a ball of wool and a crochet needle from his satchel, crocheted a little before coming here, and now he can continue, "I'm not sleepy." Saying that, Yan Baoshu picked up the wool and began to walk around with needles and needles, "Xiangbei, do you feel How about this girl, Jinger?"

Lu Xiangbei glanced at Yan Baoshu, "Why, do you really like my girl?"

Yan Baoshu smiled, "I see her as my younger sister."

"Hmph." Lu Xiangbei put his hands behind his head, looked at the soot-blackened ceiling with a blushing face, and said, "Jing'er has been different from other girls since she was a child. She seems to like to compete with us."

Yan Baoshu thought to himself, it would be strange if he didn't compete.

Lu Xiangbei slammed his mouth, "Hey, you don't need to hook your mouth, why don't you tell me a paragraph and listen to it?"

Yan Baoshu was taken aback, "Why, are you panicking? I don't want to talk about it, so as not to mess with my back again."

"That's not possible," Lu Xiangbei got up from the bed, and said to Yan Baoshu with a smile, "You don't know what Shuanzi said to me after you entered the house today."

Yan Baoshu stopped what he was doing, "What did you say?"

Lu Xiangbei sat down beside Yan Baoshu, and the two covered a quilt together. Under the quilt, Lu Xiangbei's feet were cold. In order to keep warm, he put his feet on Yan Baoshu's instep, "Is it cold?"

Yan Baoshu shook his head, "Not cool, go on, what did Shuanzi tell you?"

Lu Xiangbei flexed his toes on Yan Baoshu's instep, and then said, "Shuanzi secretly told me that he watched my daughter-in-law take a bath."

"What?" Yan Baoshu asked in surprise, "You said Shuanzi peeped at the little daughter-in-law taking a bath?"

Lu Xiangbei nodded madly, "Shuanzi told me that there is a new young daughter-in-law in the village. One day Shuanzi went to help the family collect corn, and accidentally saw it."

Yan Baoshu grinned, "Why Lu Xiangbei, Shuanzi saw it, and you want to follow him?" Yan Baoshu straightened his sitting posture and said with a serious face: "Do you know what Shuanzi's behavior is? ? Nasty, shameless."

Lu Xiangbei was taken aback by Yan Baoshu's eloquent expression, and after reacting for a long time, he said, "Hey, I didn't peek at it, why are you so angry at me?"

Yan Baoshu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm warning you, if you dare to peek at the woman's bath like a scorpion, you see, I still recognize you as a friend." After finishing speaking, Yan Baoshu sat back against the wall, holding the Crochet began to work, "Lu Xiangbei, do you want to know why I am angry?"

Lu Xiangbei hummed, sounding a little aggrieved.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman does something and doesn't do something. You can't just because Shuanzi described to you how beautiful the spring is, so you have to yearn for it and go peeping like him. Shuanzi didn't go to school, and It's almost the age to talk about marriage, so it's understandable to be curious, but I definitely won't approve of this kind of behavior." In fact, Yan Baoshu has no right to say such a thing, because he will peek at Lu Xiang at some point Bei has two eyes, but the problem is that both he and Lu Xiangbei are men, while Shuan Zi is peeking at a woman.If this behavior is discovered, Shuanzi will be arrested, and that woman... the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, Yan Baoshu did not choose to remain silent.

Lu Xiangbei was taught humbly, "That's right, a gentleman does something and doesn't. I'll find time tomorrow to have a talk with Shuanzi, so that he can completely change this bad habit."

Yan Baoshu smiled knowingly, "It's good that you understand, for the sake of you being able to discover the root of the error in time, I will tell you a paragraph and let you imagine it."

"Come on, then I have to listen carefully." Lu Xiangbei sat down next to Yan Baoshu, pulled the quilt over the two of them tightly, "Let's talk."

Yan Baoshu was hooking the cabinet curtain while telling the story. The name of the story was still made up by him, but the content of the story was very exciting, and every detail was told just right. Because of this, Lu Xiangbei who had been drinking seemed to be The prairie is lit, and the raging fire cannot be extinguished.

Yan Baoshu lowered his head and pretended to be working seriously, and secretly glanced in Lu Xiangbei's direction, and found that the quilt was shaking slightly, "Xiangbei."

Lu Xiangbei was taken aback, and quickly pretended to be okay, "What's wrong?"

Yan Baoshu raised the corner of his mouth, "If you let it go, you can... I don't mind."
