Zaozhi put down the jujube tip scissors in his hand, wiped a handful of fine sweat particles oozing from his face, and shouted Shaliang who was hoeing grass in the peanut field not far away.
"Liangzi, come here."
Sha Liang stopped the hoe in his hand, straightened his waist and turned around to look at this side suspiciously, and asked, "Sister Zhizi, you call me?" ”
"Well, here you go."
Sunny. The bright sunshine kisses the reckless and canopy jujube forest, and the early summer breeze passes over the jujube forest, and the jujube leaves rustle. Sha Liang hesitantly came to her, raised his face and collided with the gaze of the branch, his face was red to the root of his ears, and the tip of his forehead and nose inexplicably trickled out some beads of sweat. Under her gaze, the young man became more and more cowardly, but lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Zhizi, what's the matter?" ”
The branch sighed softly.
She lightly pointed in front of her with her hand and said softly, "Liangzi, sit down, I have something important to tell you." ”
Sha Liang raised his head vigorously and looked at the branch in the red shirt with a surprised expression. He didn't dare to squeak, and subconsciously squatted down against the bent old jujube tree beside him. Then he lowered his head, plucked a few peanut leaves from his feet, and fiddled with them in his hands without purpose.
"Liangzi, have you met with Houwo? How's it going? ”
"Well, I saw you later in the night, but it didn't work out, and people didn't want to."
"Why?"
"I think I'm poor, I have a bad reputation......"
Zhizi's heart was shocked: "Fame? What's the reputation? What's wrong with your reputation? ”
"Sister Zhizi, you don't know? It's not the nickname of the old book, it's called me ......"
Zhizi smiled and said, "What did I think, this is it!" What's this? ”
The old one is Sha Liang's nickname. When he was in elementary school, because he was stupid, he went to three first grades in a row. The little friend who went to school with him was in the third grade, and he was still in the first grade, and everyone in the village laughed and called him the old one.
"Liang Zi, can my sister tell you a partner? How? ”
"Which village?" Sha Liang was in good spirits when he heard it. His mother died the year before last, and his father was sick and couldn't work all year round. In the past two years, he has been in the field with a handful of his family, and he has been anxious. When I came home from working in the fields, no matter how tired and hot I was, I had to sit in the stove and smoke and make two bowls of rice. Sometimes I don't want to do it, but I still have a daddy. He wants his daughter-in-law, even if she is a lame pockmark, no matter how ugly she is. In the past two years, someone has introduced a few to him intermittently, and as soon as they inquired about the poverty, there was a lying father, who was still an old book, and he blew it.
Zhizi said: "The girl in our village is a big girl who has never looked for her mother-in-law. ”
"Alas! - "Sha Liang was deflated when he heard this, "Sister Zhizi, don't make fun of me." Don't talk about the girls in our village, even the widows in other villages don't want to, I ......"
"Really, Liangzi, sister doesn't lie to you."
"So, who are you talking about?"
"Liangzi ......" Zhizi felt that her face was feverish, she glanced at Sha Liang, and muttered: "Liangzi, I will marry you, are you willing?" ”
"What? You? ”
Sha Liang stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand to break a jujube branch in front of him, took it in his mouth and bit it hard, and a stream of absinthe quickly spread in his mouth. ”
"Liangzi, if you are willing, let the uncle ask the matchmaker to come to my house to propose!"
A gust of wind blew, and there was a cry of knowing.
When I got home the next morning, my mother had already put the meal on the table. Zaozhi washed his face, took a wet towel and came to his father's bed.
Dad was so thin that only a handful of old bones remained. Two years ago, my father had hemiplegia and has been bedridden ever since, and it was only thanks to the good care of the mother and son that he survived.
The branch gently wiped his father's head and face with a wet towel.
Dad smiled.
The branch returned to the dining table, picked up the bowl and just pulled two mouthfuls, and the mother nagged along.
Mother: "Zhizi, your second aunt came to the front yard again this morning, and told you someone who works in the township, one year younger than you." Said that this child is very good-headed and fine. Like you, you can read books and write well, and you can write in the township, and in the township you write speeches for the township chief. I said Zhizi, you are not small, look at our poor family, your father is like that, if we don't see each other, let the neighbors and neighbors look at us? Don't dig our backbone? People say that there are 100 women in a family, and you can block anyone's mouth and don't say it. Branch, don't fight goodbye this time, meet at home, it's done, ah! ”
Zhizi swallowed a mouthful of rice and said to his mother: "Mother, the second aunt will come again, you can tell her, I have it." ”
"Who?" The mother happily picked up the rice bowl and leaned forward.
"Liangzi in our backyard."
"What? The old one? You ......"
The rice bowl in my mother's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
The chickens in the yard scramble to eat the noodles that have fallen on the ground.
Sha Liang, who used to snort as soon as he hit the pillow, can't sleep tonight.
What's going on? Why did the branch say marry me?
When he was a child, Sha Liang was definitely a good person in Shawo Village. When he had nothing to do, he led a class of half-year-old children to catch chickens and dogs, went to the field to steal melons and pick dates, and practiced aiming at the glass window of the school classroom with a slingshot. The neighbors were annoyed with him, and the school teachers were helpless against him. In fact, the teacher is not helpless, the reason for being helpless is because he has a powerful father.
Liang Zi's father is a character who broke through from the enemy's bullets. The scars on his body show off his former glory. Liang Zi's father is straight and short-tempered. During the Cultural Revolution, he tore the flag and rebelled under the snort of a few stunned young people in the village, ousted the old branch secretary from power, and replaced it with a few rebels in power, and after seizing power, he became the director of public security.
The sheriff is a sinner. At that time, the people in the village were generally poor, and the food distributed by the production team was not enough to eat, and some families could not get by and stole it. Often, before the ears of corn have grown, some people will secretly break them down and take them home for their children to cook and eat, which is called "gnawing green". In order to prevent these petty thefts of people, the village organized a group of people to put the intersection at the head of the village, called "the green watcher". Liang Zi's father is the head of this green look.
One evening in early autumn, Daddy Zhizi broke off a few small branches from the old locust tree in the field at the end of the day, and prepared to go home to feed the sheep. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I happened to meet the security officers at the head of the village. Zhizi's father is also stubborn, and the two of them quarrel and scold without speculation. Father Zhizi put down the basket on his shoulder and smashed his fist into Liang Zipa's face. This caused a catastrophe, and Zhizi's father was not only punished for parading the streets, but also sentenced to half a month in prison by the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune for "beating up the disabled revolutionary soldiers".
Because of the role of the director of peace, Liang Zi's father offended many people.
People hated him to the core.
At the end of the Cultural Revolution, it was just in time for Liangzi to graduate from junior high school and enter high school. It turns out that there is no need for exams to go to high school, and they are all recommended by the brigade to go directly to high school. It was ironclad for the brigade to recommend Liang Zi to go to high school, but the college entrance examination was resumed that year, and exams were also required for junior high school and high school.
Zhizi, who graduated from junior high school two years ago, was not recommended to go to high school, and several other classmates in the village who had no way to do so, all reviewed and participated in the high school entrance examination that year with Liangzi, but as a result, only Liangzi himself was not admitted, so angry that the director of security went home and beat his son.
People are unlucky, drink cold water, and stuff their teeth.
Immediately afterwards, the old cadres who had been ousted from power in the village returned to power, and the smash hit public security director in the village has become a glorious history. At that time, the director of peace was far from thinking about the serious consequences for his family and son during his time in power. By the time he became acutely aware of the consequences, the consequences were already quite severe.
Liang Zi reached the age of engagement, and half of the jars who were about the same age as him could not speak and "passed the post" one by one, but none of the old Liang family came to the door to propose marriage.
Liang Zi's father didn't care at first, he always thought that he was an old revolutionary, and with the well-known brand of his revolutionary disabled soldiers, his son was still worried about being a daughter-in-law? It wasn't until a year later that even the children of the "land, rich, anti, bad, and right" who had been criticized and disciplined by himself in the past, and bowed their heads when they met, were engaged one after another, and the matchmaker still did not come to the door, that he deeply realized that something was wrong.
First, Liang Ziniang panicked. successively asked her relatives to mention the media, but as soon as the woman inquired about the people in Shawo Village, the villagers not only did not help with good words, but also worked hard. Some people say that this product is an old book, and the stupid man is not good at what he does, and his father is a "second pole"; Some people also said that his father was not a person, and when he was young, he thought about the good things of his own sister. After three questions and two inquiries, Liang Zi's marriage was yellow.
Liang Zi's father wants to get angry, but he doesn't know who to send it to, can you stop the mouths of the whole village?!
Liang Ziniang complained about her husband. said that he was too horizontal in the past, and in the end he didn't leave a way back for the child...... The husband who said that he was temporary, grabbed his wife's hair and beat it, and beat his wife so old that she lived in her mother's house for half a month.
A new story has been added to the village. Someone proposed to Liang Zi again, and people said that the old couple was not successful, they were half cut into the ground, and they were still fighting all day long, living in their mother's house, and still making divorce, this person, hey!
After such a toss, Liang Zi's marriage was delayed.
The marriage dealt a heavy blow to Liang Zi.
His personality slowly changed. He became depressed and sad all day long. When he was working, everyone talked and laughed together, but he stayed away from the crowd and stared at the sky with his face up. The naughty child king in his childhood disappeared in people's hearts and in Shawo Village.
More and more, he felt that he was missing something from others.
He felt more and more like an idiot.
He felt more and more that he was inferior to anyone else.
A few years later, the village implemented a responsibility system, and he often lay alone in his own jujube forest, lying on the soft sand, lying for most of the day. I can't tell what I thought, what I didn't think, or what I didn't think at all.
He became even more lonely.
His heart is dead
There is no greater mourning than death.
However, this morning in the jujube garden, the words of the branches disturbed him and kept him awake. She said she was going to marry him, and the look on her face when she spoke didn't look like she was lying to her. He couldn't figure out why she wanted to marry him. In terms of appearance, Zhizi is the top of the people in Sanli and Five Villages; On culture, a person graduated from high school; Discuss...... Besides, the two families still have festivals......
What the hell is going on?
