Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

After a few days of cold weather, the weather suddenly turned warm and the sun came out. It was a rare sunny day, and every household was busy washing and drying in the sun.

Ruan Xishi also took out the quilt they had covered to bask in the sun, so that it would be much warmer at night.

As the weather warmed up, the villagers also moved around again, chatting from house to house.

Uncle Niu also took advantage of the warm weather to go out for a walk to bask in the sun. He wore an old jacket and a thin sweater and went out to chat with the pork guy.

During this period of time, Mrs. Niu kept him from going out. The villagers hadn't seen him for a long time. The last time they heard about him was when he went to the hospital overnight. Everyone only knew that he was seriously ill. He hadn't gone out for so long, and some people even speculated whether he was going to die soon.

But when I saw him today, I just felt that he was no different than before, and even felt that he had gained a little weight, and his complexion was much better, not at all like he was just sick.

Everyone was amazed, and when he approached, they asked in a hurry: "Uncle Niu, I heard from Ye San that you were very ill a few days ago, and you were sent to the hospital overnight, and Ah Ze went to the hospital to see you." , we all thought you were seriously ill, but we didn't expect that when we saw you today, you gained a little weight than before, and you don't look sick at all."

Uncle Niu said cheerfully: "Hey, I'm actually suffering from minor illnesses. They don't trust me, insisting on going to the hospital and spending a lot of money. As a result, you see, I'm still alive and well now?"

Others ridiculed him and said, "You're just kidding. Isn't it because Ah Ze sent you to the hospital that you can come out to chat with us now? You don't even know that when the weather was very cold two days ago, the village next door fell ill. I killed a few old people, and it seems that they are dying, and they are still lingering on the bed. You can still chat here, isn’t it thanks to Ah Ze who sent you to the hospital? You have to be stubborn and deny it.”

Uncle Niu was afraid after listening to the words for a while, and after a long time he said, "I'm fine because Ah Ze is here."

Speaking of Lu Ze, the others said, "Ah Ze's character is really worth mentioning. If there were more enthusiastic young people like him in our village, we would probably be able to be rated as a civilized village."

When Uncle Niu heard others praise Lu Ze, he felt that his face was also smeared, and said excitedly: "Isn't it, A Ze is really a good young man. Don't you want to know why I recovered so quickly? It's because of A Ze He bought me a lot of food and used it, and taught me how to eat and use it to maintain a healthy body. I listened to his advice and did it for several days, and my health really improved."

Hearing what he said, the others asked curiously: "Oh, did Ah Ze buy you something? What did you buy? Let's hear it. If I have money, I will ask my son to buy some for me." Come back and try."

"That's right, Uncle Niu, tell me what A Ze bought for you, so that I can buy it for my parents-in-law."

Uncle Niu exaggerated: "You know the nutritious products in the pharmacy, just eggs and those American ginseng antlers, which cost hundreds of dollars, he bought them all for me at once, and asked me to eat a little a day. I Where did I have the opportunity to eat these expensive things before, I thought their effects were blown by the TV, but I didn’t expect that after eating for a while, my body was really much more comfortable. Look at me now, I can walk and move, if not Your aunt won't let me go to work in the field, so I can plow my big field in one go."

After hearing this, the others were all envious, and whispered among themselves, "Ah Ze is really generous. For a few hundred dollars, Uncle Niu and his relatives and friends are so caring. He must be a dutiful son."

"Uncle Niu is lucky. He got such a filial son for no reason, so he doesn't have to worry about it in the future."

Seeing that others were envious of him, Uncle Niu felt even more proud, as if his own son had made him proud, and said with a blushing smile, "Isn't that right, Ah Ze is more filial than my sons. He also bought me a foot bath that can be massaged. I soak it for 10 minutes every night before going to bed, massage the acupuncture points on the soles of my feet, and sleep very comfortably at night. I won’t be woken up by freezing. You see, I eat well and sleep well, so I can’t live like a tiger.”

The others nodded in agreement: "Uncle Niu, you said Ah Ze was so kind to you, why don't you think about recognizing him as your godson, so you can take care of him in the future."

Uncle Niu said with a smile: "I want to recognize him as a godson, but I am afraid that he will dislike me as a bad old man and can't give him anything, but I will definitely keep his kindness in my heart. If I have a chance in the future, I will I will take my sons and daughters to repay him well."

After talking about Uncle Niu, everyone talked about the birth of a daughter in the Zhao family. Uncle Niu was also listening, and when he heard that the Zhao family had a baby, he was also very happy to join the topic.

"That kid Zhao Si gave birth to a baby girl?"

"Yeah, it was born a few days ago, and it's still in the hospital and hasn't come back yet."

"It's a pity that it's not a son. Amei probably has to give birth."

"Birth is life. Anyway, Zhao Si is capable, and he can certainly afford to raise a few children."

"If the second child is also a daughter, it will be a bit difficult to say."

"Then give birth until a son is born. What can I do? I can't cut off the incense, right?"

"You said it would be great if the first child was a boy."

"I don't necessarily think that boys are better than girls. I heard that Zhao Si's family and Amei's natal family are very happy. These days, they take turns taking care of Amei in the hospital, and they keep sending them to the hospital."

"It's the first child. After all, it's the first time that grandparents and grandparents are parents. I guess they might be happier if it's a son."

"It's just a novelty for a while. After a while, you can wait to see that Uncle and Aunt Zhao despise the birth of a daughter everywhere."

Listening to their conversation, Uncle Niu found it boring, so he said, "Girls are no worse than boys. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Girls are well-behaved and sensible."

"That's what I said, but when my daughter grows up, she will always become someone else's family, and the filial piety is also someone else's parents. We have worked hard to raise her, but in the end we can only get a gift of tens of thousands of dollars. .”

Uncle Niu quickly said: "Hey, that's not what it said. Although my daughter is married, she is still her own child, and she can also be filial to her parents. Look at the little flower from the next village who married into the county seat, and she is still her own child on New Year's Day. Bringing a bunch of gifts home to honor parents, her husband doesn't know how much he has helped their family, isn't this honoring parents?"

Others were dumbfounded by his example, so they could only whisper: "That's because she will marry, and marry a good husband. If she marries a bad one, let alone helping her mother's family, she might have to pay for it." Empty mother's house."

Seeing that it didn't make sense to them, Uncle Niu simply stopped talking. After sitting for a while, he left with the excuse of going to the field to see the vegetables.

He went for a walk around his own vegetable field, pulled weeds, caught insects, and basked in the sun and felt that his body was more agile. He had to be thankful that Lu Ze was there. If Lu Ze insisted on sending him to the hospital, he would I don't know if I will come out to visit the vegetable garden at this time.

Uncle Niu also clearly realized that it wasn't that Lu Ze and the others made a big fuss, but that he had a stubborn mouth. On the night of his illness, he thought that he would not be able to survive, so he was ready to see Teacher Ruan. It was supported.Not only survived, but my body is much healthier than before, and I feel that my life span has continued for a long time.

This was something he hadn't thought of at all, and it could be regarded as a miracle. Although he said that he was fine and didn't care, who wouldn't be happy if he could live a few more years in good health?

Thinking of Uncle Niu in this way, he felt a lot more relaxed. He cut two lettuces in the field and prepared to send them to Lu Ze and the others for cooking.

He dared not repay Lu Ze's great kindness, but right now he can only repay some small favors, and he has to wait for his sons to repay the big ones. After all, what Lu Ze did for him should have been his sons they do.

On the way back, I passed the village head’s house, and the village head’s wife happened to be putting away the quilt in the yard. When she saw him passing by, she quickly stopped him and said, “Uncle Niu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you.”

After hearing the words, Uncle Niu walked outside the gate and asked, "What's the matter?"

The village head's wife came over and said, "Last night your son called to ask how you were doing. I told him that you had been to the hospital and told him not to worry too much outside. He didn't seem very relieved, insisted on It’s only when you talk to him that you feel at ease. However, it was too late when he called last night, so we didn’t ask you to come over. We asked him to have dinner tonight and call again around seven o’clock Once, you came over to wait after dinner tonight, your son didn't know about your illness outside, and he was flustered when he heard it from others."

Uncle Niu just wanted to mention some of his unfilial sons to repay Lu Ze's kindness, but when he heard that his son called back, he finally felt a little relieved, and replied repeatedly: "Okay, I'll have dinner tonight." Come over after dinner."

Uncle Niu was more and more happy, he walked like flying, and soon went to Ruan Xishi's house, when Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze were drying peppers in the corridor, he was going to sell them to him when the boss who bought the peppers came to the village tomorrow.Seeing that the door was closed, Uncle Niu yelled twice and when he heard a response, he pushed the door open and went in.

Ruan Xishi turned her head and saw that it was Uncle Niu, and asked in surprise, "Uncle Niu, why are you so energetic to come out to play today?"

Uncle Niu proudly said: "I'm so energetic every day, it's just that your aunt Niu didn't let me out. Today she saw the sun is good, so she let me out for a walk."

Ruan Xishi put down the chili pepper in his hand, walked up to Uncle Niu to have a look, and seeing that Uncle Niu was indeed much better than before, he said happily: "You seem to have gained a little weight, that's great, as long as you recover from illness , is to come out to bask in the sun more.”

Uncle Niu raised the two lettuces in his hand and said, "Isn't that right? I went to the vegetable garden today and pulled out two lettuces for you. You are in good health."

Lu Ze also smiled and said, "Then you must have taken the medicine and soaked your feet according to my method."

Uncle Niu puffed up his chest and said, "That's right, I definitely want to listen to Ah Ze's words."

Ruan Xishi couldn't help but said: "Not only should you listen to brother Lu Ze, but also Aunt Niu. Everyone is treating you well."

Uncle Niu looked at them gratefully, and sighed for a long time: "It's thanks to you being here, otherwise my old life would have been lost. Really, I don't even know how to thank you."

When Ruan Xishi saw that Uncle Niu was about to cry, she was so sad that she hurriedly supported him, patted him on the back and coaxed him, "It's okay, we are very pleased that you can live well, we don't need you to worry about it." Take it to heart. Brother Lu Ze and I didn't treat you just to covet your reward, don't you believe us two? "

Uncle Niu held his hand and said, "It's because I know that I don't know how to repay you."

Ruan Xishi smiled and said: "Then you should take good care of your body, it's not in vain that Brother Lu Ze and I treat you so well."

After dinner in the evening, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu went to the village chief’s house and waited for his son to talk on the phone. Uncle Niu wanted to go by himself, but Aunt Niu was worried that he would go out alone as a recovering illness. Going together, Uncle Niu had no choice but to let her follow.

Telephones in the village have not been popularized yet. As long as some people feel sorry for the fixed-line fee, they don’t install it. The same is true for Uncle Niu’s house. Calling is also taking time to go to other people's homes. Although this is not timely, it is better than not being able to contact at all.

It’s not to say that it’s just taking advantage of other people’s family. If you call for a long time, you’ll pay the host one or two yuan for the phone call. Be diligent and send some food as a favor.

When I went to the village head's house, it was still early, and the village head was having dinner with his family. When he saw Mr. Niu and the others coming, the village head's daughter hurriedly moved two stools for them to sit on. Mr. Niu smiled and praised her for being sensible. Give her a piece of candy.

Children love candy most, but their family would not buy it for them. The village head’s youngest daughter took the candy, thanked Mr. Niu crisply, put it in her pocket, and ate it after dinner.

The village chief's wife said, "Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, you have come here so early. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have another meal?"

Uncle Niu quickly waved his hand and said: "If you have eaten, you can eat it. You don't need to call us, we will come over and wait for a call."

Even so, the village head's wife got up and poured them two cups of hot water for them to drink.

While eating, the village chief asked Uncle Niu with concern: "Uncle Niu, I heard that you were seriously ill a while ago, is it more important now?"

Uncle Niu warmed his hands with a cup of hot water, and replied with a smile, "I'm fine now, I'm in good health."

The village chief smiled and said, "Ah Ze took you to see a doctor, and bought you a lot of supplements."

Uncle Niu sighed again: "That's right, that kid, Ah Ze, is really warm-hearted. He gave me a lot of things and didn't ask for anything in return. If he wasn't there, I probably would have gone to the ghost gate to report."

The village head's wife heard about it, and she said in two peeps: "Uncle Niu, don't say such bad things, be careful that the 'people' below hear you, and trouble you. You should say that you will be healthy and healthy." Kang, live a long life."

The people in the village are simple, and they especially believe in these ghosts and gods. If they accidentally drop a chopstick or a bowl on weekdays, they have to say "happy and happy" and "safety every year" several times, fearing that bad luck will come to them.

Uncle Niu said cheerfully: "That's right, that's right, a long life, everyone wants to be healthy and healthy."

The village chief also sighed: "Ah Ze is indeed a rare and good young man, but his origin is unknown and he has not recovered his memory until now, so this matter is a bit difficult. If he voluntarily stays in the village like Teacher Ruan did at the beginning, he will give him If you register a piece of land for him, he will be a member of our village. It’s a pity that A Ze doesn’t know where he is from, and it’s a bit deceitful to let him live here with us when he has lost his memory.”

Uncle Niu said: "Yeah, that's the difficulty. He actually cares about our village's affairs."

The village said with a smile: "Now it seems that we can only help Ah Ze as much as we can."

Aunt Niu said: "Isn't that right? I just want to wait for the tomatoes grown in my field to be ripe and send them to him every day."

They chatted for a while, and the phone on the table finally rang. The village chief asked Uncle Niu to pick it up. Uncle Niu picked up the receiver carefully, for fear of breaking the village chief's phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, he heard his son's rough voice on the other end.

"Hello, Uncle Gao, is my dad here?"

Uncle Niu responded, "It's me."

"Abba, it's you. You came here so early? Have you eaten yet? I heard from Ye Da from the same village that you were sick a few days ago and looked very serious. How are you doing now?"

Uncle Niu raised his voice and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, Dad is fine now. Dad is in good health, and there are people at home to take care of him. Work hard and get a bonus at the end of the year to return to the New Year."

"Is it really all right? I heard from Ye Da that many old people are sick, and some of them go away after they can't get over it. Don't fool me, otherwise I won't be able to work with peace of mind."

Uncle Niu said: "Oh, don't worry, I'm in good health. If you don't believe me, let your mother and your uncle Gao tell you to see if I have fooled you?"

Aunt Niu was also worried that her son would be worried about his father all day long when he was away, so she chimed in on the phone: "My son, your father is really fine, don't worry, I will take good care of him at home."

The other end muttered in a low voice: "It's weird, Ye Da told me that day that you were going to be bad, which made me worry for a few days, why did you suddenly get better? Could it be that Ye Da was scaring me? "

Uncle Niu heard this, and said to him, "It's all thanks to A Ze from Shizai's family. He took me to the hospital in time and bought me some eggs. American ginseng and deer antler massage footbath. There are a lot of electric heating treasures that are suitable. The things I use. I listened to his words and raised them at home for a period of time, and my body gradually improved, even better than before. My waist no longer hurts, my legs are no longer sore, and my whole body is full of strength. If it weren’t for your mother If you don't let me go to the field, I can cultivate one-third of an acre of our family's land!"

The opposite side asked doubtfully: "Ah Ze from Shizai's family? Are you talking about the man Shizai picked up at the beginning of the year? He has such a great ability? And he treats you so well?"

Hearing his son's questioning voice, Uncle Niu said in a serious voice: "I'm telling you, bastard, Ah Ze is our family's great benefactor. He is the one who helps me when you're not around, and helps me move the grain during the harvest. , I took me to see a doctor when I was sick, and paid for it myself. Our family still owes him a lot of favors and money. These should have been done by your own son. When you were away, he did it all for you. Wait You come back, you must come to my door to thank me, I won't allow you to say no, you know?"

"I get it, Dad. I'm not an ungrateful person. Since he has done us a favor, let's repay him. When my factory is on holiday, I'll buy gifts and go back to thank him personally."

Uncle Niu was relieved: "That's right, Ah Ze is a good man, a little younger than you, although he looks tall, he is actually a very easy-going person, you can also make friends with him, there is no harm in having too many friends .”

"Got it, got it. Since you're fine, I'm relieved. I'll have to work the night shift later, so I'll hang up first."

Uncle Niu said: "All right, go to work, and you should pay more attention to your health, don't get tired, it's really not easy to get sick."

After the phone call, it was already dark outside, and it was time for Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu to go home. They wanted to give the village chief some money for the phone call, but the village chief repeatedly refused: "No need to pay, Uncle Niu, why are you still seeing me like this?" , not to mention that you don’t need money to answer the phone, you can take it back and buy some food for yourself, don’t save yourself and make yourself sick.”

Uncle Niu was holding two crumpled one-dollar bills in his hand, but the village chief insisted on not wanting them, and he didn't know where to put them.

Finally, the village head's wife took it, stuffed it back into his pocket, and said with the undeniable air of a village mother-in-law: "If you say you don't need it, you don't need it, take it back quickly."

Uncle Niu laughed twice: "Then thank you, I have occupied your phone for so long."

The village chief sent them to the door and said, "It's all right, can you see the way clearly after dark? Do you want me to go back and get a flashlight?"

Aunt Niu said: "No need, I'll take it with you, you can go back."

The village head said: "Then you should pay attention to safety on the way back."

There are no street lights in the village yet, and the path is pitch-black. Fortunately, there is a flashlight, and it’s okay to walk with two people supporting each other. But halfway through, a cold wind suddenly blows, and there is a faint sound of suona, gongs and drums in the distance.

This sound is very familiar to the people in the village. It is a song played at a funeral in the village. Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are getting old and have just had a serious illness. .

Ruan Xishi also heard it, intermittently, from across a mountain, it sounded strange in the middle of the night, he was a little scared, and shrank involuntarily into Lu Ze's arms.

Lu Ze thought he was cold, so he hugged him tightly, and asked him if he wanted to lie down on the bed.

Ruan Xishi didn't tell Lu Ze what sound he heard, because he was afraid that Lu Ze would feel unlucky. He thought that he would not hear it if he fell asleep, so he nodded and said, "Let's go to sleep."

Lu Ze took him to the bathroom to relieve his hand, and he seemed to hear some strange sounds while walking in the corridor, so he asked, "Honey, why is there someone playing an instrument at night?"

Ruan Xishi relieved her hand restlessly, and when she heard Lu Ze's question, she trembled in fright. Lu Ze thought it was too cold outside, so he directly hugged him back into the house.

Lying on the bed with the lights off, the surroundings were quiet, and the funeral music could be heard more clearly. Ruan Xishi remembered that a year ago, at about this time, their family also invited a musician to play the funeral music for his grandfather.

He listened to the intermittent voice, closed his eyes and saw the scene of that day. As the only relative of his grandfather, he held his grandfather's tablet and listened to the musicians playing the funeral chanting sutras. No other relatives were there, only himself.

As long as he thinks about that day, he feels that he is going to suffocate in despair, and his body can't help but tremble.

Feeling his reaction, Lu Ze thought he was simply afraid, so he patted his back comfortingly and coaxed, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ruan Xishi tightly grasped Lu Ze's clothes, buried her head in his arms, calmed down after a long time, nodded and said, "Well, I'm not afraid anymore."

Then he silently added in his heart: Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I don't know how to get through it.

Under Lu Ze's reassurance, Ruan Xishi slept until dawn and didn't even have a nightmare.
