The home is a big courtyard and two rows of houses. The family lives in the inner row and makes it a small hotel for some tourists to live in. However, the price of each three or four wooden beds is not very decent. Of course, it is also very cheap. Ten dollars a night is calculated according to the head count. In summer, business can be slightly better. In winter, business is not bad. Two people left early. At noon, another person came again. At this time, the old man sat in the yard and played with his mobile phone. It should be that the signal was not very good. The old man smiled at him and entered the back room. His daughter
As soon as the old man smiled, he felt hungry as hell. He was ready to eat his daughter-in-law, but he was told to wash his hands and face first. His daughter-in-law was still very filial, and his chubby cheeks were always smiling. Recently, many young women got a perm in Xinfa Store, and his daughter-in-law also rushed to work outside this year. Otherwise, he would not fish alone, saying that he earned more money outside and wanted to take a look outside. Everyone wanted to take a look outside. He was too old to walk and too lazy to move.
His wife came back from the outside with his grandson on her back. The child was carrying some food in his hand. Sun was six years old this year and should have entered the school as soon as autumn came. The child is in good health, but he doesn’t like eating, and he doesn’t like eating fish. This makes the old man angry. For generations, he used to fish and didn’t like eating fish. How can those war-torn years live on this river fish?
My wife put the children away and went to the yard to play. She was the same age and went fishing a few years ago. Later, her legs were affected by rheumatism and she limped. When she grew up, she never went to the river again. She started painting small jewelry at home and sold it to tourists as a souvenir. She often got stitches in the middle of the night, and she didn’t earn much money. After Sun Sheng, she didn’t do much. It was occasional leisure to get some for Sun to play with, but it was better to dislike the fishy smell than to put a toy gun in the pool. Play, but many people in the village are still making fish skins, but they have learned a lot. They no longer sew stitch by stitch. Most of them are all-purpose glue, which is convenient and fast. Too much price, but when they go, a painting dares to cost thousands of dollars.
My wife was arranged by her parents in those days, but although it was arranged, after all, the village had met before and got married. It was winter, and she wore a red cotton-padded jacket and trousers and combed them into double braids, and came in a sleigh. After the visit, the old man wanted to eat pig’s tail, which should be terrible. When she ate it, she was careful as if she were afraid of vomiting, which meant that she would follow him in the next generation. Now it seems that her generation is doing well and everything is angry with him without quarreling with him. He is very grateful to her, but
When my son got married, it was different. I didn’t follow the old customs, and my daughter-in-law refused to come in a sleigh. Although it’s not a few steps away, my daughter-in-law insisted on getting a car, but she couldn’t do it according to others. Of course, her daughter-in-law didn’t eat pig’s head and pig’s tail, but she always quarreled. This doesn’t mean that her daughter-in-law is not good, but she always feels something is wrong, just like this paddle fishing boat is burning diesel now. Although she saves energy, she can’t be quiet
The old man took a sip of wine, and his rough cheeks came to life. His wife sat opposite him and ate with a rice bowl. His daughter-in-law said that she had eaten and went to the courtyard to enjoy the cool.
Why don’t you hire a helper to see if you are tired and can’t stand it? His wife hesitated and said
Now those young people can’t afford to fish for 100 yuan a day, and the old man grinned bitterly after eating a dumpling stuffed with wild vegetables.
Today, digging wild vegetables in the back hill is just a bitter experience. My wife said that she had eaten one hundred yuan, or you would collapse. I don’t know you yet.
I said no, but the old man’s tone was heavier and he took a sip of wine, so his wife stopped talking. But there was movement in the courtyard, and women from two families came in with their minors, carrying two bottles of wine in their hands, which was a celebration of packaging.
Honor your old lady, put the wine on the table and squeeze a bunch of smiles.
My wife got up in a hurry. What is this?
Let’s just say it. The old man doesn’t look up.
In fact, it’s nothing. The woman still hesitated-she just wanted the child to let you fish.
Well, the old man looked up unexpectedly at the woman and turned his eyes to the teenager. The teenager’s body was dry and his hair was quite long. He looked at the teenager and looked at him straight.
Do you want to fish? asked the old man
I don’t want to, but my mother insisted that my mother beat me in the back of my head before I finished my teenage talk. What do you think? The woman said grumpily, and then she changed her mother’s face and told the old man that the child was not good and just didn’t go to class. It was just fooling around in the bar and it would be over.
The old man knew what she said, didn’t he? It wasn’t long before there were more than a dozen computers in it, but it was enough, and there weren’t many young people in this small fishing village.
I see, but you still have to look at the boy’s willingness to do it. He can’t do it. The old man bowed his head and took a sip of wine, and his face turned red. His wife coughed intentionally. It should be a sign that he kept the teenager so that he could be a helper.
Would you like the old man to ask the teenager again?
Who doesn’t want to fish? The boy answered simply, and his mother wanted to hit him again.
Look at the child. He doesn’t want the old man to laugh. He laughs heartily.
No, my mother was anxious, but the teenager turned around and ran away from the house while her mother was not paying attention. My mother was anxious to catch up with this bastard.
The old man smiled back and knocked on the two bottles of wine and said to his wife, "You sent them back early." My wife sighed and picked up the wine. I’ll go now and drag my legs.
The old man drank the last sip of wine and moved his body to the courtyard. When his daughter-in-law saw that the old man had come, she went back to the house to pick up the table. I don’t know where Xiao Sun went to play. The stars were all his playmates. The old man sat in a birch root and pulled out a cigarette bag to live in the front room, but the tourists came over and handed him a cigarette to taste the lighter. Then the flame lit up. The old man smiled and waved his hand, but he couldn’t get used to coughing. The tourists put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, then sat next to the old man.
Why is the cell phone signal so bad? The tourist seems to want to chat, and this night is too much for him to chat.
These three sides are mountains, just across the gap, or the old man from another country said this is an answer, and then he pointed to the mobile phone in the hands of tourists. I don’t think my son bought one a few years ago, and I didn’t want my family to be together, so there were so many urgent things to be connected. Besides, didn’t the old man come safely that day without this thing? Now my son has gone to work, and I still haven’t bought a mobile phone at home.
What tourists can’t guess?
Think about it. He thinks that when we want to know about our family, we won’t make a phone call, so that he can remember to come back. The old man laughed and was very proud. That kind of person will easily forget that I have never been there in a generation, but I still understand this.
Do you mean that people can learn deciduous roots? The tourist took a deep breath of his cigarette and he lit it, so that the old man talked about it as if he had fallen into a long time.
The old man didn’t answer him, but told another story. We came back here two days ago. A couple was in their forties. They left the fishing boat at home for almost ten years and repaired it. Today, they went fishing in the river again. After so many years, the fishing boat has rusted, but the craft has not been lost. The old man remembered that his cigarette bag had not been lit yet, and he touched a match in his pocket. The smell of sulfur filled the night. It was very cool and there were no mosquitoes.
The couple went to the young people early. At that time, there weren’t so many tourists in the village, and the bus didn’t have to walk more than ten miles to get there. At that time, they both left with their bags on their backs, saying that they were going outside to make a lot of money. It was ten years since they left. The house was covered with moss, and the old man squinted at the unknown place. Perhaps he was afraid of being choked by smoke. This has long been his habit when he smoked.
So did they make money? Why did they come back? The tourist wanted to know the ending. He thought every story should have an ending.
Hehe, the old man smiled twice. Who knows?
Who knows, in these changing years, every grass, tree, flower and stone is constantly changing its posture after the flood. What’s worse, after many storms, people from generation to generation have long forgotten the original appearance, and even the curved river has become more and more turbid, and it is as old as a bowl of thick soup when the moon rises.
