Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 110 Southwestern Mandarin
"Those who go from village to town to sing social operas are called 'teams'. If anyone in the troupe is not well-organized and leads to the whole troupe, it is called a 'dirty troupe', which means shame!"

"Well, I'll make a note of it, and there's another missing word here, carrying, which means to be burdened..."

Father Mu watched for a while: "Elbow, what are you doing?"

Mother Mu couldn't stop laughing, she held the spatula in her hand, and wiped her tears with her arm: "When this baby comes in, I will reverse those old sayings and ask, I can't remember many things. Just remembering it, my baby still remembers it seriously, it's so fun..."

"Hey! Be serious!" Zhou Zhi lowered his head: "Here's another one, today's harvest is too big! Thank you, auntie!"

"Hahahaha..." Mother Mu couldn't even light the tofu curd anymore, so she handed the spatula to Father Mu, holding the cupboard with one hand and covering her belly with the other: "I can't do it... I'm going to laugh out loud..."

"You're all in the pot!" Father Mu was also brought into the context, and his own vernacular also came out: "The widow is just laughing, I just can't kill him!"

Zhou Zhi already felt that he was about to go crazy, and while recording frantically, he said to himself: "Chutuo, the meaning of finished, should be 'poked off', poked chiu in the ancient pronunciation Tongjia, Su Dongpo called himself 'Jie monk', demoted to Huangzhou I wrote a letter to Foyin saying "Jie Monk is now chiseling off again", this is a clear proof that Jiachuan originated from Southwest Mandarin in the Song Dynasty..."

"Jingge, the original character should be vigilance, and the 'ge' here is the entering tone, which is almost the same pronunciation as the Cantonese word 'jue', and is the same as 'xiheng'. "

"Sha cut, when it comes from Jiachuan's long card term, the sophomore long card is called 'Sha Huzi', and the end of a game is called 'cut'..."

Seeing that Zhou Zhi recorded very carefully, Father Mu knew that maybe this kid was really doing something serious, and maybe he really misunderstood him just now.

However, Father Mu cannot be blamed for this, because his mother-in-law's vernacular is often ridiculed by outsiders on weekdays.

But I still can't help being ashamed of my misunderstanding just now: "Elbow?"

Zhou Zhi turned the first page of the notebook to Father Mu: "Uncle Mu, Auntie, I am doing a survey, a field survey of Jiachuan dialect. Jiachuan County is now heavily polluted by Mandarin and loanwords. Auntie speaks pure Jiachuan dialect. , to me, it is simply a treasure trove!"

"Is this... serious knowledge?"

"Of course it is, the serious one!" Seeing Mother Mu laughing again, Zhou Zhi said, "Auntie, don't laugh, anyway, I won't go anywhere for the past two days, so I'll turn you around and ask 'to the hall', you Don't think I'm a 'tick', 'there are too many lights'!"

"Hahahaha..." Mother Mu's smile seemed to be very low, but now she couldn't do it anymore, she pointed at him and said, "I don't care about the local dialect of the elbow. !Ha ha ha ha……"

……

……

When Mu Ruyun took his classmates out for a while and came back, he saw his mother and Zhou Zhi sitting on a bench outside the main room, talking and memorizing, and laughing happily from time to time.

The current mother is really radiant, and she seems to be several years younger. She looks like Zhou Zhi when she was laughing and talking about Yan Yan, and she is almost as good as a mother and child who have a good relationship.

Mu Ruyun was so stupid there - this tortoise... I've only been away for a while... someone... wants to usurp the throne?
Mu Ruyun knew her mother's character, because of her strong accent, she was afraid of being laughed at, so it was rare for her to open her mouth in front of outsiders.

Looking at that posture now, my mother is still giving the lecture!
Mu Ruyun looked up at the sky in confusion, did the sun come out from the west today?
"I'm back! Let's have lunch!" Mother Mu stood up with a smile, and pulled Zhou Zhi up by the way: "You elbow, you made me so happy today. We'll catch up after dinner!"

"Mom! What did he do with the elbow?!" Mu Ruyun was very sad and indignant, your own son is here!

"Didn't you say that I'm rude?" Mother Mu is very proud now: "I can't do anything with my elbows, and I even picked up a book to make a record of making money in stocks! Humph!"

After finishing talking, he went to prepare meals, leaving Mu Ruyun there as if struck by lightning.

Mom, that last snort of yours...was...was it...acting like a baby?

When Mu's father brought out a wine jar, Zhou Zhi knew that none of the men present would be able to escape today.

Plum wine, when poured out, has a wine-like color, sweet and sour with rock sugar added, it tastes unusually delicious.

So when I drink it, I just feel good, and people can't feel the degree of alcohol. When I start to feel a little drunk, ha ha ha... by then it is already too late.

The stamina is great, and few people who drink it for the first time can not get drunk.

"Girls can do whatever they want, boys can go as much as they like!" Father Mu said qualitatively, and then began to pour tons of wine into a soup basin: "We won't drink too much at noon today, just this bowl."

The boys looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this the unit of measurement for drinking at the forest farm?

The food is quite good, the main dish is old bacon with tofu curd, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, fried mushrooms with dried chili and dried cowpea, chicken offal with pickled peppers, fried chicken with green peppers and fungus.

Small fried chicken is a dish that is very, very difficult to eat nowadays. Generally, chicken is a main dish in every family. If it is served as a small stir-fry like Mu's, there are generally only two possibilities.

One is that this family is rich, and the other is that this family raises chickens.

Of course, there is a third possibility for the Mu family—they have money and raise a lot of chickens at the same time.

Because they are all classmates and juniors, there is no need to abide by the old rules if the hostess does not sit at the table. Mu's mother also sat next to Mu's father, and even took the initiative to ask Zhou Zhi to sit beside her.

Indeed, I can't blame Mu's mother for being biased. Mu Ruyun wants to sit next to his father to take care of the wine table. The main reason for pulling Zhou Zhi here is that this baby is easy to chat and can talk freely.

A simple bowl of wine can turn a table full of men into dead dogs.

Except that Mu's father is still handsome, and he is really a veteran.

Zhou Zhi is still sober in the world, because the support is so good.

Mu's mother may drink more arrogantly than Mu's father, and she doesn't refuse Zhou Zhi to ask her for help after receiving the drink. Zhou Zhi secretly pours it into her wine bowl and she pretends not to see it. The mentality of pleasing oneself is contained in it.

I'm afraid this metaphor is not quite appropriate, but that's what it means.

But the rest are going to fail, Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao are the worst.

Because Yan Xiao jumped too much, he was taught to be a man in minutes.

Fang Wenyu is the son of an old friend, and Mu's father thinks that if he doesn't accompany Fang Wenyu well, he will be sorry for his old comrades-in-arms.

The girls are almost the same, the main reason is that Ye Xin played a trick, making them think that plum wine might be the way of wine.

Fortunately, Ye Xin kept controlling their amount, and it turned out that Ye Xin, Mu Ruyun and Zhou Zhi carried them to the upstairs room one by one.

When putting He Yongmei on the bed, He Yongmei still held Zhou Zhi's hand and smiled silly: "Elbow, Yan Xiao and I have to hide in a hole for hide-and-seek, I'm really happy..."

"Yes yes yes..." Zhou Zhi perfunctory: "After drinking like this, I still don't forget to sprinkle dog food... Be good, sleep well..."

"Elbow!" Feng Xueshan on the opposite side was unhappy: "Come and coax me!"

"Coax you, coax you..." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to press down on Feng Xueshan who was about to push herself up: "Sleep well, this kind of sleep is the most comfortable."

"Well, Ralph is not good, you can't be Ralph..." Feng Xueshan closed her eyes, but she began to mutter again: "...teach him a good...monk again! You should be honest..."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help crying and laughing. Ralph is the most contradictory character in "The Thorn Bird", and he is also the heroine Meggie's love: "You still want to be a big sister after all this, you should sleep well..."

After the two of them settled down, Zhou Zhi went downstairs again and sent Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi upstairs to rest with Ye Xin.

Jiang Shuyi's body was limp and her face was flushed, but the girl was too thin. Although she was much taller than He Yongmei, when Zhou Zhi carried her on her back, she felt that they weighed about the same.

Zhou Zhi always felt that Jiang Shuyi was nervous when he saw Jiang Shuyi in the previous life.

But where did this tension come from? Even after establishing a relationship with her, Zhou Zhi never asked about it.

Then miss it and miss it.

In this life, because my mentality has changed and I observe more carefully, this feeling is more obvious.

This time everyone went on a trip together, which made Zhou Zhi even more certain that this girl had a lot on her mind.

And now, he is still far from reaching the stage where he can let her confide in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Shuyi who was sleeping soundly, Zhou Zhi felt that the girl might only be concentrating on her studies, or when she was like this, was the time to forget her worries and truly relax.

It is also the most beautiful time of this girl.

Sighing softly, Zhou Zhi covered her with a thin quilt.

"Zhou Zhi, let's go." Ye Xin said, at this moment, she seemed to be much more mature than usual.

Zhou Zhi nodded, looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was also sleeping soundly across the way, and retreated out of the room with Ye Xin, and walked downstairs.

"Zhou Zhi can drink a lot." Father Mu laughed when he saw the two of them.

"If it wasn't for Auntie's help, I would definitely be the first to fall." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Uncle has already seen it, but he didn't expose it."

"Da Man laughed like this today, I don't even remember what year it was."

There was something flickering in Father Mu's eyes when he looked at Zhou Zhi: "Our whole family is really happy that you are here this time."

"We should thank uncle and aunt for their kindness. We don't think we are too noisy. Auntie also cooked such a sumptuous table for us. That little fried chicken is hardly available in the city now."

"That's your aunt wanting to show off her skills!" Father Mu also seemed to be a little drunk, and said with a smile: "Your aunt used to like to laugh. You don't know about elbows. When I went to the Lijiazhai for a blind date, at the beginning I didn't even see your aunt, but I heard the laughter in that room, and my heart was hooked at once."

"As soon as I see someone, I'll tell you, I'll know right away, and I'll never get rid of it for the rest of my life!"

"Don't you want to be ashamed! Say this in front of the younger generation!" Mu's mother came over with a rag, just in time to hear Mu's father's words, and the old couple who have been married for many years did not feel blush.

"There was a rumor in the forestry farm later, saying that Daman's mother said, 'If you don't speak up, everyone is a lady, but if you speak up, everyone will suffer'. Even Daman was teased by his classmates when he was young."

Father Mu laughed and said, "I didn't expect that dialect, but today you still say it's a treasure."

"Auntie's dialect is really a treasure." Zhou Zhi took out his notebook, "It's just that there are not many people in Jiachuan who know its value."

"Uncle, Auntie speaks Southwest Mandarin, which has been spread to our area since before the Song Dynasty, and our ancestors have been speaking it."

"Uncle, you think, this is something from more than 1000 years ago, so it's not easy to keep it until now?"
