tall and rhubarb

When he was a teenager, Gao Chang climbed up an uphill, put the rhubarb on the ground, then patted its head and said, "I'm going home, you can't follow me this time, do you hear me?"

"Woo..." Rhubarb lay listlessly on the ground, sobbing softly as a response.

"Do you agree? Then I'm leaving." Gao Chang stood up and walked down the mountain for about a dozen steps. Seeing that Da Huang hadn't followed, he hesitated for a while, and then turned back.

"It's getting dark, you have to find a place to stay, the dew is heavy at night, you already have a fever."

"Woooo..." Da Huang looked up at Gao Chang, then continued to lie on his stomach.

"I almost forgot, there is still a piece of candy in my pocket, peel it off for you, it will be gone after you finish eating."

"Woo..." Rhubarb stuck out his tongue and licked the candy, then picked it up and chewed it twice before swallowing it.

"Dahuang, you are really obedient, if you don't get sick..."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Gao Chang patted the puppy's head and stood up, walked forward slowly, and after a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, and Rhubarb was squatting on a little soil behind him. On the bag, his eyes were wet, as pitiful as he could be.

Because he was too busy looking back, Gao Chang didn't look carefully at his feet, he was knocked by a protruding stone, his forehead hit the dirt road, there was a loud "bang", he stood up again after a long time, he looked at the surrounding people in a daze environment, and then looked at the puppy behind him, and finally understood a little bit.

Gao Chang walked back to the front of the soil bag in three or two steps, and the little black dog squatting in front of him was only the size of an adult's palm. It was called Rhubarb, which made him feel ashamed of his creditors for more than ten years in his previous life.At the moment it is sick, has a high fever, and sneezes crisply when the breeze blows, its nose is wet, its eye sockets are also moist, its eyes are red, and the hair on its body is sticking to the skin. It looked sickly and kind of scary.

Gao Chang was in a pretty good mood at the moment, bent over and hugged the puppy in his arms: "Let's go, Rhubarb, let's go home."

I really didn't expect that such a good thing as rebirth would happen to him. It seems that God's conscience found out that he felt that he was treated too badly these years, and finally decided to make some compensation.Gao Chang was in a good mood, humming a little song and walking home, but before entering the village, he still covered the rhubarb in his arms with his clothes, so as not to let those people know that the rhubarb had not been sent away, otherwise he would have to babble for a long time .

As for why Dahuang is called Dahuang instead of Dahei, it is entirely because Gao Chang listened to his grandma. When he came home with him, he originally named the puppy Xiaohei, but Grandma Gao said they The local native dogs all have black fur when they are young, but when they grow up, they all have yellow fur.It was really awkward to call a yellow-haired dog Xiao Hei, so Gao Chang changed the name to Da Huang.

After returning home, Gao Chang put the rhubarb in his room. Their house is at the corner of the courtyard in the village. Two walls are outside the courtyard, and the other two walls are next to the walls of other people’s houses, only one of which is one meter away. How wide the small door is facing the courtyard.

The house is quite wide, but there is only one floor, and the hall outside has a dirt floor, which is not separated from the kitchen.The inside of the room is paved with wooden boards, but these wooden boards are not known in which year they were laid, and they are very rotten. There are holes in the floor. At night, those mice scurry around their house freely. It was so loud that it was almost impossible to sleep.

When eating that night, Gao Chang brought some rice in for Rhubarb, but he refused to eat it without licking a few mouthfuls of rice with his tongue, so Gao Chang had to take the leftovers to the backyard to feed the chickens.

Outside their courtyard is a large bamboo forest, and there are some collapsed stone houses in the bamboo forest, which seem to be very old.Grandma Gao planted some pumpkin seedlings beside the stone wall. She would eat the seedlings in spring, eat flowers in summer, and eat pumpkins in autumn.In addition to pumpkin seedlings, there are also some vegetables that are often eaten by rural people. They are easy to grow and easy to grow. If you grow them casually, they will be enough for their grandparents and grandchildren to eat for a year.

I also raised a group of chickens and ducks. The chickens and ducks do not sleep at home at night. Just build a shed with bamboo sticks and straw beside the stone wall. There is a canal behind the house, and the water flows from the pool directly behind the courtyard. , passed the outer wall of the courtyard and left into a large ditch at the entrance of the village. There were screws and loaches in the ditch, and ducks liked to flop in it.

For the first meal after rebirth, Gao Chang ate a lot. The scrambled eggs with leeks made by grandma were really delicious. Leeks were grown in the backyard of his house, and the eggs laid by his own old hens were really healthy and pollution-free.

"Long, why did you bring rhubarb back?" Grandma's teeth were almost falling out, and her words leaked out.

"Grandma, it's okay. I'll let Rhubarb stay in the room and don't go out. Just don't let them see it." I have been guilty of this for many years in my previous life, and I have to keep Rhubarb no matter what in this life. Anyway, he is now a 28 He's a [-]-year-old man, and he can't even keep a dog, so if he speaks out, it's a joke.

"Then you have to be careful."

"Understood." As Gao Chang said, he took another big mouthful of rice. He hadn't eaten rice for a long time. It was so delicious and sweet. After eating bowl after bowl, he just didn't want to stop. Chopsticks.

At night, grandma lights dim yellow light bulbs to make lanterns. Lanterns are no longer used in ordinary people these days, and these are only used when funerals are held.Gao Chang has no relatives in the city these years. After being reborn, he looked at his grandmother and felt very dear. He didn't want to go back to the house, so he moved a stool and sat beside him to help with work.

"Don't do this job, you still have class tomorrow, go read quickly."

"Tomorrow is Sunday." Rhubarb was released by him on Saturday evening, and this senior still remembers it all the time, but it has been more than ten years, who knows what class is in school now.

"Then don't do this job, grandma can do it alone."

"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for myself." Gao Chang said with a smile.

"Bah bah, kids, don't talk nonsense." Grandma Gao's face suddenly changed.

"I said that I spend the money I earn anyway, and earn money for myself." Gao Chang is not stupid, and naturally knows what Grandma Gao is avoiding. They are all very taboo. If it weren't for the lack of financial resources, Grandma Gao probably wouldn't be willing to do this.

"You can't earn much money by doing this job. Be obedient and go back to your own room." Grandma Gao made up her mind not to let Gao Chang do this, and he couldn't help it. Stay in your own room.

In the room, there are only Gao Chang and Da Huang, one person and one dog. Da Huang is not in good spirits and is sleeping on his stomach.First of all, I definitely can't go to the city like I did in my previous life. No matter how bad the village is, the fields always grow crops. Unlike in the city, when the shops are closed, everyone can only eat the roots and bark of the trees.

Tsk, when it comes to food, Gao Chang is a little bit unsatisfied. He is only 17 years old at the moment, and when he is growing up, the dinner he just ate rolled in his stomach and was quickly consumed Most of it.Finally reborn, Gao Chang will not treat himself badly no matter what, let alone other things in this life, he must eat and drink well, and live a long life.

But eating and drinking cost money. Gao Chang glanced at the sickly little black dog under the corner. That guy also needs to make up for it. He can’t eat. If he can boil a few ribs into soup, he can probably drink it go down a little.Thinking of pork ribs, Gao Chang couldn't help but began to salivate. He hadn't eaten meat for a long, long time. Of course earthworm meat is not considered meat, and those things are not even considered as insects.

In order to earn some food for himself and Rhubarb, Gao Chang walked around the streets of their town the next day. There were a lot of ribs in the vegetable market, but unfortunately he just didn't have the money to buy them.

It's not true that they don't have any money at all. Although their family is very poor, Grandma Gao still puts some pocket money in Gao Chang's pocket.But the money can’t just be spent like this, what Gao Chang meant, he still wants to keep the money to make money, but how can he make money?In their small, mountainous town, Gao Chang couldn't think of any other way to make money other than playing slot machines.

During this walk, I walked from 10:30 am to [-]:[-] am. If you want to ask where is the best place for rebirth, Gao Chang must tell you that the best thing is that the sun is still orange, and it has been exposed for a long time. The most peeling.

Turning and turning, wandering from the center of the town to the surrounding communities, and then Gao Chang transferred to the largest activity center for the elderly in their town.It is said that it is for the elderly, but it is actually a place where people gather to play mahjong. If you look around, every table is full of mahjong.Gao Chang heard the crackling sound of mahjong outside, and went in without thinking. He was invincible in all dormitory buildings back then.

I looked around and found that the playing methods are similar. Most of the people who come to play mahjong here in their town are old men and women, and there are also some housewives. One hundred coins, one or two cents per coin, no more wins or losses, just a pastime.There are also big ones if you want to play, but it's not in this place. After all, this activity center for the elderly is open in the open, and comrades from the police station have to come by from time to time.

Seeing someone standing up, Gao Chang went over to sit down. Aunts and aunts were sitting at the table. Seeing a little boy playing mahjong in the activity center for the elderly, he thought it was very strange. He asked him if he was studying, and then asked Where does he live and what are his parents' names?Gao Chang groaned and groaned, but didn't answer directly. He just played mahjong and won two or three ribs to go home. His task for today would be considered complete.

There are quite a lot of idlers in the town, some people play at the mahjong table and some watch it. Today, there are quite a lot of people gathered around Gao Chang to watch the excitement. "Yeah, you can row a boat, kid."

"Young boy played well, you guys take it easy, this has been done several times."

These people said while watching, sometimes revealing all the cards of Gao Chang, I don't know if it is a bit deceiving.Gao Chang secretly remembered these guys who spoke the loudest, damn it, it will be my turn to watch you play cards next time.
