Fragrant spring

Fragrant Spring - 169 Folk Songs

Ah Jian and Hai Lun didn't drive today, they led a team to cut down trees. If they didn't lead the team on the first day, the people they invited would not know how to do it.The Haishan couple, the Chen Ming couple, Dongzi, Erpang, Shaowang, Haijiao, and Housan were all invited by Hailun.

Hailun and Ah Jian originally agreed to pay 15 yuan a day for the workers. When Hailun went to hire someone, he thought that they would definitely ask for a higher price, so when he was the first to find Shaowang, the price he offered was 13 yuan.Unexpectedly, Shaowang agreed immediately, and also brought Dongzi and Erpang.Both the Haishan couple and the Chen Ming couple are honest people, they only want to make money, and they don't negotiate prices with Hailun at all.

Monkey Three was not invited by Hailun. Monkey Three heard that Hailun wanted to hire someone to work, so he found Hailun himself and said he would come to work.Monkey Three has been changing recently. He not only dug a piece of land this year, but also asked Lin Hua's mother to save him a dozen eggs and help him hatch a brood of chickens to raise.Only started farming this year, so there won't be much work to do. Hailun wanted to hire someone to cut down trees, so she went to recommend herself.

When they came to the forest, Haishan and Chen Ming first chose a pine tree that was not too big or too small, and there were no other trees around.When Haishan and Chen Ming were pulling the saw in a "sloppy" manner, the others were resting beside them.This is the rule of the mountain people. Working on the mountain is dangerous, so the beginning must be smooth.Two more experienced people must cut (saw) the next tree smoothly before everyone can work.

People in the mountains still have some rules, which can be called rules, or taboos.That is, if you don’t cook well in the morning, or you mess up the dishes, your husband and wife quarrel, and you see snakes blocking the road, etc., then you will not go to work on the mountain today.These are seen as an ominous sign, and it is understandable not to work.There is another situation that makes people dumbfounded, that is, seeing women other than their own combing their hair early in the morning is also considered an ominous omen.

After Chen Ming and Haishan successfully brought down the first tree, everyone started to work.Chen Ming, Haishan, Hailun, and Erpang had two saws to help bring down the tree and saw the tree into two-meter-long pieces of wood.Ah Jian, Shaowang, and Dongzi, who are younger and stronger, wield a sharpened hatchet to cut off the branches and forks to make them smooth.Lin Fen and the other three women also had jobs. They used a shovel attached to a long handle to shovel off the bark.

Men and women match, work is not tired.The thin and short Shaowang was also very active in his work, and he even joked about Lin Fen, "Fen, it seems that Haishan doesn't care about you after marrying you. He will help you to do such a hard work after you pass the door."

In fact, in the mountains, men and women are seldom divided into men and women. Women do heavy work like carrying logs and firewood together with men.When Lin Fen was about to repay Shaowang, Qiao Fen said, "What's the trouble, he is my husband and I am his wife, the two husband and wife can be so clearly distinguished."

Several people laughed, it turned out that Qiaofen had misheard, she and Lin Fen were both called Fen, and if they didn't pay attention, they thought Shaowang was talking to her.

This was picked up by Shaowang and the others as a joke topic, "I'm asking about Lin Fen, why, you want to recruit Haishan to be your second husband?"

Only then did Qiaofen realize that she had misheard, and her face flushed slightly, "You asked your question, but I told you mine, but I didn't answer you."

Shaowang's mouth hurt, and he continued: "I thought you and Rooster would not be fun together, so I asked Haishan to help."

Everyone laughed again.

Qiaofen's face flushed instantly, like a shrimp thrown on a hot pan.The last time I did that thing with Chen Ming in the woods, after being discovered by Jiuzhi Xiulan, Chen Ming's nickname of "rooster" was completely called out. But thing.In addition, there will be some flamboyant incidents in the village from time to time, and people are used to it.So after being made a joke by people for a few days, Qiaofen gradually got used to it, besides, it was with her husband, not to steal someone, and there was nothing particularly embarrassing about it, but now being mentioned by such a young man , I will still be embarrassed.

Qiaofen glared at Shaowang, "You, quickly ask your sister-in-law to help you find a wife, and think about some dirty things in your mind."

Shaowang originally wanted to say that he wanted to find your Qiaoying or something, but he didn't dare to say it because Ah Jian was by his side.

Shaowang didn't speak, but Dongzi didn't want to let him go. Dongzi said based on Qiaofen's words: "Shaowang, Qiaofen is right, you should quickly find a wife, or I think you'll want to be crazy about women." Yes, yesterday I saw you looking at Meifang’s mother’s baby, your eyes were wide open, you kept looking at the white patch on her chest without blinking, I thought your eyeballs fell to the ground.”

Everyone started making jokes about Shaowang again, and talked about nasty things, one after another, it was very lively.

I don't know how long it took, maybe they were tired of talking, or maybe it was boring after talking, everyone became silent.The pine waves burst, the thrushes sang, and the sound of everyone's labor made a symphony of mountain labor.The sound of sawing a saw, and the sound of shoveling bark, are violins and cellos.The hatchet is chopping on the branches, and only the sound of the big drum can match it.The sound of the wind and the sound of the thrush solo, it is a kind of spring love in the mountains and wilds.

Hou San and the others who cut (sawed) trees were some distance away from Shaowang Qiaofen and the others.When they were talking just now, they had been listening and did not participate. Now everyone is silent.Monkey three sang a folk song:

Female: My sister is busy picking tea on the mountainside, her fingers are twirling the branches, her heart is floating. I don’t know when my mother will marry me. I don’t know who (that) is my husband.

Man: Ah, my brother is chopping firewood on the mountain, cutting trees with a hatchet like cutting my heart, I don’t know. Can you still remember, I don’t know who gave the handkerchief (that one) to?

Female: Brother, cut firewood, don't mess with your heart, cut off your heart, but wait for your heart

Man: My sister is determined to come and wait for my brother, how can my brother let my sister go home and prepare a pig's foot to open the door and hope that my sister (that one) will accept my sister

Hou San is the oldest in this group, and he did not miss his job before adding it, and learned a lot of folk songs from the older generation.

Monkey Sanyi stopped singing, and everyone started laughing at him again, Ah Jian shouted over there: "Third brother, why didn't you find a wife when you were young?"

"It's not too late to look for it now." Hou San replied, but Jiazhen came to mind.Jiazhen not only gave him a taste of women, but also changed his life, allowing him to understand the joy and value of life.

"Who are you looking for now? Could it be that you still want to snatch the girl from us?" Shaowang teased Hou San.

Monkey Three was not to be outdone, he said: "Shaowang, there is no need to fight with you, we are standing together, my sister might choose me instead of you." Then Monkey Three turned to everyone and said provocatively: " Don’t you think so?” Indeed, Hou San and Shaowang stood together, Shaowang was really inferior.Although both of them are so short and thin, Monkey Three's face is clean except for his smaller eyes and yellower teeth.Although Shaowang's eyes are not small, the eyeballs protrude a little. The important thing is the long-haired black mole on his chin, which shakes up and down with his chin when he speaks.It was both funny and disgusting to watch.

Shaowang is really thick-skinned. In his heart, he thinks that he is much more attractive than Hou San. At least because he is younger, Hou San can't compare with him. Compared with Hou San, he looked at the three present. Haijiao is the only woman who doesn't have a husband, so she asked Haijiao, "Huojiao, if you choose, will you choose me or Monkey Three."

Haijiao teased Shaowang and said, "You choose both, especially you, the handsome boy from Muwa Village."

Everyone laughed again, Dongzi usually plays better with Shaowang, and they often hurt each other, Dongzi is often the one who suffers, now that he has seized this good opportunity, he should take good care of Shaowang He said, "Wang, look, Huo Jiao even says you are a handsome man, do you know why?"

Shaowang understood that everyone was laughing at him, but he still asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because you have a mole on your chin, beautiful man's mole, beautiful man's mole, do you hear me clearly, I think you should just be called a beautiful man's mole."

Everyone laughed so hard that tears almost burst out.

Since then, Shaowang has also had a famous nickname-beautiful mole.
