Hunger for a hundred years

Chapter 3 (3)
On the day of the wedding, after He Zhi and Xu Lian entered the house to have a wedding, more than a dozen young and strong men broke into the new house, clamoring for new wine.Where did he hold out a wine jar and invite them to drink freely.These men are drunkards who don't care about drinking.They are all married, and they already know about the relationship between men and women, but they never lose their freshness. One said: "He Zhi, you son of a bitch, don't want to rest tonight." Playing, playing all night is fine." After a burst of laughter, everyone said: "We don't want to play, we want to help you work!" He said: "What do you do at night, there is not even a moon outside. "There was another burst of laughter.Xu Lianfen's neck was drooping, her cheeks were already red past her ears.Seeing the bride like this, a group of prodigal sons became more interested, one said: "Where is it, you can't play tonight, you have to dig a well." The other said: "Don't look at it as a ready-made well. I have to yell and yell at your son of a bitch for being so tired." He Di still didn't understand, looking at them stupidly and smiling foolishly.An older man said: "Where, can you find where the well is?" Everyone agreed: "He must not be able to find it. We are all good brothers, so let's help him!" A guy with pimples all over his face touched Xu Lian's body.While hiding, Xu Lian glanced sideways at He Zhi. Seeing that He Di was still smiling silly, she raised her head and said seriously: "If you want to drink, drink, if you don't drink, go home and rest. He Fang, it's getting late , turn on the lamps, and send everyone back home, tomorrow morning, we will go to the sour pear tree slope to weed weeds."
Xu Lian has just arrived, and she actually knows where the Suanlishupo is, which proves that she already knows the family background of the place from her parents.

After all, these young people are farmers' children, and they have no bad intentions at all. After what Xu Lian said, they felt bored, so they went out one after another without taking lights to send them off.

They didn't go far, they gathered together again when they went out, and quietly went to the window of the bride and groom to hear what happened.

Under normal circumstances, the listeners have to be cold, standing, and tired until the middle of the night to gain anything, but as soon as this group of people turned under the window, they were so nervous that they dared not come out.

Xu Lian said to He: "You really don't know?" He Di didn't respond, Xu Lian said: "Here, you will know it by touching it." The next thing was Xu Lian's voice: "Fool, you Shaking? Oh. It hurts. It's okay." A few minutes later, there was a gasp from He Zhi.He said: "It's really interesting." Xu Lian hummed and chattered for a while, and then the room fell silent.

A dozen or so people crowded by the gutter outside the window were panting loudly, but fortunately no one could hear the panting. He thought it was the old cows chewing their cud in the cowshed in Pianxia, ​​or the pigsty. The pig is farting from overeating.Almost half an hour later, they were about to leave, but Xu Lian said again, "Are you coming?" He Di eagerly said, "Come again." There was a loud noise.Much more meng lang than the first time.Those young people couldn't bear it anymore, so they went home one by one.

That night, seven or eight people beat their wives and said they were useless.

Xu Lian is a piece of fertile land, which has nourished He Di like never before.Because she was born in a poor family, Xu Lian is good at all kinds of farm work, and she is also neat and tidy inside and out.Two years before He Xingneng and Mrs. Zhang passed away, the family hired part-time workers. Xu Lian dismissed the part-time workers when she married. She thought that the two of them were not qualified to hire people because they did dozens of field jobs.The strange thing is that no matter how tired she is, Xu Lian is still as tender as ever.It's just that He Di became thinner, and his peers, especially those who heard about the first night of He Di's first night with Xu Lian, made fun of him: "Don't believe your wife's words, it's better to hire a part-time worker to relax." He Di was honest. Tell the truth: "She does more work than I do." The peers said: "Fool! She only does it during the day, why do you do it at night!" The man repeated what he had heard under the window.How shameful and indignant.After returning home, he and Xu Lian got angry, and Xu Lian didn't know why, so she took down a foxtail hanging from the mouth of the flower basket, and went to tease her husband's nostrils.Unexpectedly, her husband, who usually speaks gentle and never gets angry, slapped her in the face and scolded her: "Shameless!" Xu Lian fell to the ground, with all kinds of grievances in her heart, but she did not shed tears, and climbed up hard. up.She didn't fall, but she had my father in her stomach.

For the next two days, the couple did not speak. Although there were people moving around in the house, it was like a haunted house.

Still unable to bear the embarrassment, he took the initiative to please his wife.Xu Lian ignored him.After another half day, he couldn't bear it anymore, and confessed his mistake to his wife in tears.At this time, Xu Lian seriously asked him why he got angry for no reason that day, and even slapped her.Where did he tell her the jokes of his peers.He thought his wife would be ashamed too, but Xu Lian laughed so hard after hearing this: "What's the matter, I knew they were listening to the room, and they were willing to starve and stand outside the window to listen, let them listen Go!" After saying that, Xu Lian was coming again, but he didn't show any emotion at all. He looked at his wife strangely, and felt that this woman was incredible.
My father was born in February of the Lunar Calendar, which is so blue and yellow.This seems to have already doomed his life of misery.When it comes to childbearing, Xu Lian has lofty ideals. He Di originally wanted to give the child a more elegant name, but Xu Lian insisted on her own opinion and named her first child He Da.She wanted to arrange it in this order, so big, so two, three, four, and so on to infinity.Sure enough, only one year and two months later, my second father was born.Of course my second father is called He Er.

Six months after He Er was born, Xu Lian did not get pregnant in time as expected.According to some old women, it was due to overwork.Before Xu Lian had confinement, she went to the field to gather seedlings.People who have just given birth have blood loss, and they can't even blow the cold wind, let alone go down to the paddy fields.She originally said that she would rest for a few days after picking up the seedlings of several acres of fields, but once she went to the field, she couldn't get out of the complicated farm work, weeding, picking mung beans, clearing the edge of the field, pulling corn, harvesting rice, Digging yams, running winter paddy fields. Not to mention serving pigs and cows every day!
But Xu Lian didn't believe what the old women said. She thought that the reason why she didn't get pregnant in time was just like farming. After planting corn for two seasons, she had to rest for a year, or plant something else.

She smiled and said to others that her next child must be a girl.

In spring, golden rape blossoms bloom all over the mountains and plains, and the whole Hejiapo is filled with a drowsy medicinal fragrance.At noon, Xu Lian brought back a large basket of cow grass from the slope, and sat on the threshold to nurse He Er.Her hair was already wet with sweat, and strands of it stuck to her neck as white as a lotus root; when she opened the front of her clothes, a puff of hot air burst out from her chest.Her firm and snow-white breasts were also densely covered with beads of fish-like sweat.He Er didn't care about these things, he licked his sweaty nipples, and held his mother's two milks with both hands, as if afraid of being snatched away by others.At this time, when He Zhi came back, he also planted half a back of cow grass, and He Da with a pointed chin sat on the cow grass.My father said that in those years, adults went uphill to work, and even children aged six or seven were tied to the bed with small clothes (pants), but Xu Lian did not tie the children, and Xu Lian insisted Stopped: "Let's throw it at home all day, the sun can't shine, how does the baby grow? The hands and feet are tied up, and I can't even scratch an itchy spot. Is it comfortable? No matter how small the baby is, it is human!" Once working uphill, He Di brought one, and Xu Lian brought one. Even if she carried eighty catties of dung up the mountain, she would tie the child on her back with cloth strips.

After He Di came back, he sat on the bluestone ridge under the eaves of the street and smoked a bag of leaf cigarettes, and his nerves became a little irresponsible, as if he had forgotten something, and he couldn't remember it for a while, and his heart was itchy.At this time, He Da was digging out worms in the crevice of the stone ridge, and when he saw his younger brother was feeding, he suddenly cried out and cried out that he was hungry.He Di slapped him angrily, and went to the cupboard to look for cold rice. Unexpectedly, Xu Lian had poured the half bowl of cold rice to the chicken and ate it, so He Shi cried even louder.He Di roared angrily: "Cry again, I will throw you to Zhu's board!" There are many fire boxes in the rock cutting of Zhu's board, and there are dead children in the boxes; on the branch.He Da was not intimidated, he was only afraid of his mother, just like the people in Hejiapo only recognized Xu Lian as the head of the household.He Di was so angry that he went to hold firewood to cook.

Xu Lian didn't understand why her husband was suddenly in a bad mood. Looking at his thin back and sweaty clothes, she thought he must be too tired.She stopped He Da from crying, and said to her husband with heartache: "I'll cook, you take Erwazi to the other side of the ditch to find Shuzier."
Xu Lian's gentle words made He Di's anger disappear completely, and he felt unreasonable about his sudden anger.Obediently, he pulled out a thatch that stuck into his clothes and made him itchy unbearably, and came to hug He Er.He Er has fallen asleep in his mother's arms.Xu Lian rolled her big, black and white eyeballs, and said coquettishly: "It's your life to play, even the second child hurts you." After finishing speaking, she took the nipple out of the child's mouth, stood up and took He Two hugged him to the bed in the back room.He Di stood there, dazed in a daze.The inconceivable beauty of his wife, Xu Lian, did not break into his heart until this moment.He looked at Xu Lian's tender neck, swaying waist and petal-like buttocks, and a warm current of happiness ran from his forehead to the soles of his feet.He rushed into the back room.Xu Lian was tucking the quilt for He Er when He Di hugged her from behind and pushed the hard thing over her.My grandma Xu Lian was born a stunner, how could she stand such love?She twisted her neck and sucked her mouth.He Di let go of his hand, and Xu Lian was face to face with him.He Ji kissed her lips, and ate the tit that his son He Er had just eaten.When he went to untie Xu Lian's belt, He Da suddenly shouted in the kitchen: "Mom, I'm hungry." He Zhi stopped, Xu Lian also opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled. "Evening," Xu Lian said, "evening!"
When the two went out, He Di kissed He Da's dirty face, then went down to the red sweet potato pit to find a white sweet potato weighing half a catty, peeled off the skin and the rotten part, and let He Da chew on it. .He Da was full of joy, while chewing on it, he went out to find the children.

He Zhi also went out, but he didn't go to the ditch to find Shuzier, but went to the slope empty-handed.

He is going to see his own rapeseed.Turning around from the back of the house, I went up to a sloping stone ridge, and saw the gorgeous spring scenery lying on the hillside.Looking west, there is a golden sea.In fact, the west side is not smooth, but the tall rapeseed stalks flooded the field paths and those fat and thin soil slopes.Where to walk slowly.This is someone else's rapeseed field, with thin stalks, small leaves, and few flowers. It looks like a woman who will never grow fully. Compared with my own, it is far worse.He Di feels the sweetness in this comparison and looks forward to the future.When you arrive at Suanlishupo, you will enter his territory.The rapeseed field of Yang Guangda, who has no children nowadays, is adjacent to it. Although it is only separated by a hurdle, it is a double world. , the stalks are fat and strong, and the flowers are fresh and alive.Where did he think, these rapes are just like Xu Lian.From this, he thought of the good things of the evening, and became even more excited.He walked along the side of the ditch to the depths.The ditch was cleaned out neatly by Xu Lian, and it actually resembled her body.He Di couldn't help twitching between his legs. He thought it was funny, so he slapped the thing with his palm. The thing was wronged and hung its head full of resentment.After walking a few more steps, I saw many flower-picking bees buzzing and circling in the flower stamens. He Zhi felt that these bees were molesting his wife, so he fanned them away with his hand.

After rushing away the bees, He Di was obsessed with thinking about Xu Lian wholeheartedly.His feelings for love are far less brilliant than his feelings for knowledge. Since his marriage, his love has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and he has outlined his future life in this halo.Only at this moment did he feel the heat generated by the halo.The heat of love.His wife's muscles, facial expressions, frowns and smiles are more physical than ever.He imagined Xu Lian working in the field.As soon as Xu Lian arrived in the field, she immediately absorbed the essence of the world and merged with the mountains and rivers.She has no cultural education, but her natural elegance makes her inner world infinitely broad and clear. Once she is melted by the surrounding scenery, she will immediately acquire a charming charm.The mole at the corner of her mouth, on her flawless and flawless face, just rightly exudes the charm of the world of mortals, and the pure nectar of life flows happily in her carcass; the love in her heart has no distracting thoughts. The external burning is as important and the same as the inner sincerity.

There are not many such women.

He Zhi was intoxicated for a long time, when the pollen blown by the wind hit his eyelashes and floated into his unconsciously parted lips, he was freed from the torrent of happiness, with a feeling of tranquility almost With the mentality of a wise man, look at the field again.

The warm singing of grain resounded from the field.

After walking through his own rapeseed field, He Di could have gone back, but he still wanted to go around a bend and go up to the beam of the ancient village to have a look at the fields beyond the Anzi Temple.In less than ten years, the road from Hejiapo to Anzi Temple is no longer an old forest in Wanshan. Most of the old trees have been cut down, or built houses, or sold to Dongbachang at the foot of the mountain for people to make birthday trees. The forests have also been turned into fields.The fields around Anzi Temple originally belonged to a rich man nicknamed "Light Meat" in Zhouzisitai (he is used to eating alone, and he often sits around a table by himself. He is fat and big, and there is no trace of bones in any part of his body). , "Light Meat" married three wives and had fourteen children. The whole family, both men and women, smoked opium. After a few years of hard work, the family property was wiped out. It was sold to two wealthy families in Hejiapo, of which He Heng 150 picks and He Huaqiang 250 picks.He Huaqiang has three sons, He Zhongcai, He Zhongbao, and He Mangzi, who are three years old, two years old, and one year old. The 40 pick fields on the side are prepared for the son.

At that time, when "Light Meat" announced the sale of land, Xu Lian had the intention to buy ten or so picks. He Huaqiang didn't plan to buy that many at first. Hearing that Xu Lian wanted to buy it, she teamed up with He Heng and bought it all at once. .In the entire Hejiapo, only He Huaqiang was unwilling to say a word to Xu Lian, not only because he had a feud with He Xingneng's family, but also because he seemed to look down on Xu Lian, a woman who was too beautiful
He Di walked to Zhailiang, stood on a stone and looked towards Anzi Temple.Dozens of acres of fields rushed into his eyes.It was all a piece of flat land, with dozens of mu gathered together to form a lake of flowers, and the school was located in it, like a chair.What a place.But this good place has been taken by others.He Di's heart was stabbed, and the initial good mood completely dissipated.He originally wanted to sit in the school, although the old scholar has passed away long ago, and the current husband is his son, but after all, He Di was once the pride of the old scholar, and also the pride of this school, so the son of the old scholar was very enthusiastic about him, --However, those tens of acres of rapeseed, which grew much better than Suanlishupo, spoiled He Di's mood.
