hunting in 1986

Chapter 20 20 TV, Uncle Man

The light of the setting sun shines on the small mountain village, dyeing the thatched houses, fence walls and firewood stacks into a light red.

There are roosters and dogs barking in the village, and the rural atmosphere is pervasive.

Father Wang took Wang Yuan to Uncle Man's house in the west of the village, chatting while walking.

"When I arrive at Uncle Man's house later, remember to call someone, don't be sluggish and don't talk, there is no harm in speaking diligently."

"Ok, I know."

Soon the two came to the gate of Uncle Man's house. To the west was the house of Uncle Man's son "Liu Dazhu". His house was the first one in the village to have a TV. people's enthusiasm.

at this time.

There is a table in the yard of Liu Dazhu’s house, and the TV is on the table and a TV series is playing, wow wow ~ the sound is turned up to the maximum.

The yard is full of villagers, both men, women and children, with noisy sounds and the sound of many children running and frolicking.

"Little Si, don't run away, let's watch a TV show." An old lady shouted.

"Meng Zhu's hairstyle is so pretty, I'll get the same haircut some other day."

"Yeah, what's the name of this TV show? It's really good."

"Several times the sunset is red."

Everyone watching the TV series was not quiet at all, they were noisy, which annoyed Zhuzi's daughter-in-law very much, pa~ deliberately threw things to quarrel with Zhuzi, Zhuzi shoved her into the room with embarrassment on his face.

"Which family can bear it every day, and the garbage left over from eating is thrown all over the floor... Isn't electricity bills money? It's the same as how rich our family is... Children have to pay tuition fees when school starts..."

"Oh, keep your voice down, keep your voice down..."

Liu Dazhu and his wife were arguing in the house, but the courtyard was still lively and almost unaffected.

"How often is the sunset red?"

Wang Yuan was slightly taken aback. He had watched this TV series in his previous life. It was adapted from Qiong Yao's novel. The male protagonist was Qin Han, and the female protagonist was Liu Xuehua, both of whom were bosses.

Liu Xuehua also played the queen mother in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

At this time.

Uncle Man came out of the house with a big cigarette bag in his hand: "It's Xiao Lin, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Father Wang smiled and said, "It's okay to be free after eating. Xiao Yuan said to go to Uncle Man's house to play for a while, and I said let's go."

"Haha, you can come whenever you want, let's go, let's go into the room and talk."

Uncle Man laughed with wrinkled face, took a puff of dry cigarette, and opened the gate to let Wang Yuan and his son in.

"Cuckoo~"

A fat old hen wanted to run out while looking at the gap, but was kicked by the man.

After several people entered the house, they sat on the kang and chatted. Grandma Man brought over the poluo, which contained some yellow-brown top-quality tobacco leaves.

Even if the guest does not smoke, the host will hand over the cigarette basket, which is a matter of etiquette.

Father Wang gave the bear meat and meat buns to Grandma Man, and Uncle Man immediately knew what it meant, and Wang Yuan was not the only one who wanted to go into the mountain with him.

Grandma Man was very happy. Both bear meat and meat buns are the best food. She immediately broke a meat bun to share with Uncle Man. When she saw her little granddaughter running in, she broke another meat bun and gave it to the little granddaughter. granddaughter.

The little guy was sallow and emaciated, staring at Wang Yuan and his son with big beautiful eyes while eating meat buns, and didn't speak.

Grandma Man said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan's mother can make steamed stuffed buns. These steamed stuffed buns are really delicious."

Father Wang smiled and said, "Hey, just do nonsense, and I don't think it's all my own."

"No, it's really delicious."

The house of Uncle Man’s house is similar to that of Grandpa Wang Yuan’s, with a dirt floor, newspapers pasted on the walls, and pieces of glass on the windows that are very small and look gray.

His family's big raccoon cat is really nice, plump, lying on the edge of the bed with its little paws, snoring stuffy and not afraid of people.

Wang Yuan stroked her lightly, and her purring became louder. In an instant, Wang Yuan knew that the living environment of this fat cat must be very good.Only in a very safe environment where no one chases and scolds cats can develop this kind of character.

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Kang Qin.

Kang Qin is not a piano.

It's a small cabinet placed on the top of the kang.

The small cabinet is less than one meter high. At the bottom is a row of small doors that are more than half a meter high. Things can be placed inside the small doors. The upper row is a row of drawers that can hold small things such as needles, threads, brains, etc.

Put quilts, pillows, etc. on the counter.

There are very exquisite patterns on the cabinet doors and drawer doors, flowers, birds, fish and insects in bright colors, which seem to be out of place with the dilapidated earthen houses. Even the small handle of the kangqin is in the shape of a fish, which is very beautiful.

"Uncle Man, your kangqin is really beautiful." Wang Yuan laughed.

"what?"

Uncle Man didn't hear clearly what Wang Yuan said at first. In his eyes, Wang Yuan was still a child, and he didn't pay attention to him all the time. After knowing what he said, he laughed instantly.

"Haha, I made this when your grandma Man and I got married. It's been decades."

The Kangqin was brought by Grandma Man from her natal home. Looking at that Kangqin, her eyes were full of nostalgia: "No, it's been more than 40 years. My father asked someone to make it."

Kangqin is still there, but her father has long since passed away.When she first brought Kangqin to Wangjiatun, she was less than 20 years old, and now she is over 60 years old. A small Kangqin has been with her almost all her life.

Grandma Man was a little sad, so she found her big pipe, pressed the tobacco leaves on it, lit it, and smoked it up.

Yes, Grandma Man smokes too.

After chatting for a while, Father Wang explained the purpose of coming - he wanted Wang Yuan to follow Uncle Man into the mountains to find ginseng, and hoped that Uncle Man could take care of Wang Yuan.

"No problem, let's go into the mountain together, but you must listen to me when you go into the mountain." Uncle Man's eyes wandered between Wang Yuan and his son.

"Of course, I will do whatever Grandpa Man asks me to do." Wang Yuan promised quickly.

Uncle Man smiled and said: "When you go to the mountains to collect ginseng, you pay attention to one-way and two-way trips. Just now Wang Shuai and his son came, and Wang Shuai also wanted to go into the mountains with me.

But adding him was an even number before, so I didn't promise him, now it happens that adding you two is an odd number, so let's take him along too. "

After hearing the name "Shuai Wang", Wang Yuan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything.

Grandma Man curled her lips: "Wang Shuai and his son brought some blueberries that were about to rot, and the wild fruits that don't cost money are all wilting, really~"

Grandma Man is blaming Wang Shuai and his son.

In later generations, some wild blueberries can be sold for dozens of yuan a catty, but now - wild blueberries are wild fruits, no one buys them, and they are worthless, just like wild vegetables such as prickly sprouts. s things.

"What are you making a fuss about?"

Uncle Man was a little embarrassed, he glanced at Wang Yuan and his son, and then said to Grandma Man: "Do you still have sticky bean buns? Bring some for Xiao Yuan to taste."

……

After agreeing to find an auspicious day to enter the mountain, Wang Yuan and his son left. Grandma Man insisted that they take some sticky bean buns away, but she refused, so she took a few back.

In the end, all the sticky bean buns went into the little girl's stomach.
