There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

There were still a lot of people in the hall, and the uncle and uncle of the Zhang family and a few cousins ​​were all present.The men all chatted happily.The three brothers Zhang Dad and Zhou Xiaozheng recalled their youth and frivolousness, and they joked about each other from time to time.Provoked a few little ones to cheat aside.There was a large table full of meat and vegetables, and they did not move much, so they drank and chatted.

Seeing Lin Lishan and Zhang Mu come in, everyone invited to take their seats. After repeated delays, Lin Lishan and Zhang returned to the house.

Uncle Zhang just finished talking about the hunting events in the village in the past years. He was talking about drinking Feilong Soup and roasting venison in the winter, and everyone here was timid.

Zhang Qingshan, the eldest son of Uncle Zhang's family, shouted, "Father, you still don't want to patronize. Eat some food first, the second aunt's food is more fragrant than yours roasted in the wild."

Uncle Zhang glanced at him contemptuously, "You didn't surround the barbecue on a snowy day, while drinking wine, that is fun, okay? People with culture are happy to watch plum blossoms in the wild in the winter and drink the snow. Boiling water. People have fun."

Everyone laughed.Are those ancient scholars walking in the snow to search for poems, making tea to watch the snow, and chanting poems for fun. Isn't it a mood and fun?But now in the big winter, every family is gathering around the stove and cooking pots.

Father Zhang looked at everyone happily and said to Zhou Xiaozheng: "The day after tomorrow is about to enter the mountains, do you want to go? You won't forget the hunting skills, right?"

Zhou Xiaozheng drank the wine, squinted at him, and said trivially: "You weren't as good as you at the beginning, but now you are inferior to me. The day after tomorrow, I will be the head hunter for my daughter, and I will get tiger skins for her to play with."

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang laughed, and they both held up their wines and toasted him, "Regardless of whether we hit the tiger or not, we have to do this bowl of wine first. This year the four of us will see if the tiger will come out. Hit the tiger skin and play with your daughter."

Zhang's second brother, Zhang Qingfeng, is the eldest son of Uncle Zhang’s family in the three-bedroom family. He loves to play, so he joked about Zhang Guoqing, "Xiao Wu, your old man will play tiger skins for your little daughter-in-law. What are you going to do for your little daughter-in-law?"

Several cousins ​​looked at Qinghe and teased Xiao Wu, and they watched happily without interrupting.

Zhang Guoqing looked at these people and said with a smile, "I won't rob my old husband. I plan to shoot a beautiful bird for my son."

Everyone burst into laughter. Zhang Daddy and the others didn't notice a few juniors. They would hear laughter and curiously asked what was going on. Zhang Guofu explained with a smile next to him.

Father Zhang laughed and cursed: "Smelly boy, you're the only one. I thought you would beat a leopard. Your wife must like that leopard fur."

"Yes, just hit a leopard. The fur can be compared to a tiger. You hit a bird and go up the mountain. Be careful that your old man is angry and drags your little daughter-in-law back to her family."

Everyone next to him joked: "Xiao Wu, you give your son a sable. It is better to make a diaper with that fur than your white diaper. It is warm and beautiful."

"Oh, Xiaowu, I heard your sister-in-law Chunlan said that your son's diaper is whiter than a towel, and it's so rare to be hung in the yard. You can tell me if it's really not a red fart. "

"You don't need to ask Xiaowu, I know. It doesn't really have a red rash. You see, the doctors in the city use that white gauze to cover their wounds. I saw that the diaper is thicker than white gauze, and it is densely woven."

Zhang Qingfeng winked his eyebrows and said to him: "Brother San, you can do it, and I've studied it, then tell me if the homespun cloth made by San Sister-in-law is thick or not?" After speaking, the voice just fell.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, and they all gathered around to beat Zhang Qingfeng vigorously, especially Zhang Sange, who even poured wine into his mouth.

Uncle Zhang looked at Zhou Xiaozheng in a daze, and explained to him with a smile: "My third daughter-in-law knows everything, so she doesn’t know how to weave. Before, I tried to weave a piece of homespun cloth. He made a pair of trousers in a hurry. It just happened that day when he put on new trousers and didn’t go down to the ground, he went to pay public rations with them. Before he got to the village, the cart got stuck in the pit halfway, so he squatted down, moved forward hard, accidentally , The pants exploded at the time. Do you remember these bad boys."

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed loudly after listening.

"Brothers, you are taking revenge. Why am I telling the truth?"

Zhang Qingshan looked at him amused, and saw that he was going to tease his third child, but don’t worry about the third child, and he just changed the subject, “Dad, will you join a few villages this year or just go up the mountain from our village? This time, if it’s our village alone. , You can’t go in the deep mountains. In autumn, those people in Laohugou were injured when they went hunting up the mountain and encountered wolves."

Uncle Zhang also had a meal when he heard that, "This time the three surrounding villages went up the mountain together, and how many hits belonged to their respective villages. As for how many shots we hit, it depends on the arrangement in the village. If we don't go deep into the mountain, we will go up close to the mountainside. Then go in. But they are all working hard, and now it’s not a few years ago that you didn’t have enough food and clothes, and there is no need to die.”

Father Zhang nodded straight, but he didn't want to be surprised, and his family was not short of money.The son is promising, and his family is going to go, if he encounters wolves, he and Xiaowu and his son will not be able to take care of them.

"In the past two years, wolves often howled during the winter. There are fewer hunters and a lot of big beasts, so be careful. There are wild boar and deer halfway up the mountain, and there are a lot of wild animals there. Hundreds of veterans can only bring Mucang."

Zhang Guoqing was anxious after hearing this.He saw a lot of wild deer in the creek.The men from the three villages headed into the woods at the end of the day before they were all scared away.He had observed the terrain, and it was very safe. He had only been going up the mountain in the past few days, but now he is busy and negligent.

"Father, do you remember the half-mountain creek I talked about last time? It's a good place. Let's go there in advance. Otherwise, everyone rushes to it, and don't scare away the wild animals."

Uncle Zhang asked with interest: "Xiao Wu, is it the creek next to the black forest? It's close to Linxiang over there, and no one goes there. Do you see any footprints?"

Zhang Guoqing said triumphantly: "It's the black forest. That place is near the village. I think about that place near the village. I don’t want to go the long way. We are used to going west. It’s been a long time. There are many wild animals, and the mountains are far away. I went to explore the way several times, and the place was safe. There were many footprints of wild deer, roe deer, and wild boar on the side of the stream. There are also mushrooms in the black forest in winter, and there are many wild fruits inside."

Uncle Zhang sighed very much: "You have learned ten percent of your grandfather's craftsmanship. You know where to find. Good boy, there is probably no place in the mountains that you are unfamiliar with. Tell me about it. Running up the mountain, is there any place I haven't been to now."

Zhang Guoqing spared his head, "Following my grandfather to the west to the tiger ditch, I went to the deep mountains with my grandfather Wang and the others. I am now looking for the north side, and I have basically visited this mountain range."

Everyone took a breath, and even Zhang Dad didn't know that his son was really far away.No wonder he sells wild animals from time to time, and the house is often dried by pheasants and hares.

Uncle Zhang knows in his heart that the old man often goes to the mountains to hunt in the world. He has followed him 90% of the time when he is five and ten years old. How can the old man take him into the mountains to practice courage.

"Have you encountered a pack of wolves? The old man said while alive, the wolf king in the mountains can't fight."

"The wolf king that grandpa said was beaten to death by grandpa Wang. The old man kept a low profile, had kung fu in his hands, and an ancestral gossip. Once he was drunk and secretly told his grandpa that the Siberian tiger who had beaten his head had beautiful fur It’s very necessary to be a family heirloom. The wolf king’s skin went back to me and gave Xunmo to Grandpa Lin. Hey, why didn’t his tiger skins be sold. The grandfather from all over the world said that his family is the best Thick, the most private possession."

Uncle Zhang nodded in excitement, "Yes, there is a rare fur hidden in his family. Not only is the old man powerful, his eldest son has the true biography. I heard that the gossip palm is not spread. When he was young, the old man could punch with a punch. Dead tiger, even the county king, Baiwan, personally invited him to be his guard, but he delayed him. Xiaowu, your grandfather often takes you to his house. Have you learned two tricks?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and nodded again, "I didn't learn the gossip palm handed down by others. At the age of 8, he taught me how to improve his grandfather's tricks. I don't think it's useful. The key is that I am strong, his eldest son Some powder fell when I punched the stone, and I smashed the stone with one punch. The old man was angry and said to his grandpa that if I drop ten times, I can carry a thousand pounds with my hand. As long as I don't want to kill anyone, there is no need to learn martial arts. ."

Everyone laughed, it was really supernatural, slapped over, and those who have martial arts must be careful.It is estimated that the old man Wang is angry with his son for years of hard training, and he is not as good as the Mao Tou child.

Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhang Guoqing's arms and palms curiously, "How much weight can you move now? Ten strong laborers fight against you, have you ever been able to fight?"

Zhang Qingfeng slapped his legs and jumped to the ground again, hehe happily, "Brother, he was fighting with six second-rate men, and he was knocked on the back of his head. Did you forget? He was just stupid."

Seeing everyone laughed, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows helplessly, "This is a failure in my life, can you mention it? Who knows that those scumbags engage in sneak attacks. I haven't met anyone who dared to attack me yet. Be careful."

Zhang Qingfeng squinted contemptuously, "Before everyone was young and asked you to be the king of kids. Now how many people are waiting to sack you and sap you. They all hate you for stealing the golden doll. Your kid is not kind. , How many people are waiting for Jin Wah to grow up. But okay, when Jin Wah just grows up, your kid hurriedly hugged it home. If you don't attack, who do you beat?"

Zhang Guoqiang clapped his hands and said in agreement: "Brother Qinghe, don't you know that this kid was strange at the time, how could anyone dare to sap him. I said he was afraid that someone would sap him with a sack, and he reacted. He was embarrassed." Said Jiaojiao was originally his little daughter-in-law. This thick-skinned man just happened to be there, and he tore his skin, so she was worried about her daughter-in-law."

Zhang Guofu retorted: "Don't say this, Xiao Wu Da Xiao and Jiao Jiao are holding hands. When you meet some people, it’s not that they are both little parents and little daughters-in-law. Wu Nahui wiped the clothes and stuffed Jiaojiao into Jiaojiao's mouth. If there was a kid next to him, he would be beaten by him, and Jiaojiao would be the bride for all players.

Do you guys remember?Every time I ran out, I would either go up the mountain to catch pheasants and hares, or look for Jiaojiao and pull petite hands.The two of them often murmured at the bridge head of the village, hand in hand. Xiao Wu ran out to find Jiaojiao when he had something delicious, but it was not because his wife was in pain."

Zhang Qingshan smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, "I still remember that every time another child wanted Jiaojiao to be a bride, he would go forward and beat him up. Domineering, at that time grandpa said that Xiaowu was good-looking. Xiao I don’t wear open pants at the age of five or three. At the age of 4 or 5, I begged my second aunt at the entrance of the village to help Jiaojiao sew the trousers to death. Those old ladies laughed. Jiaojiao would still hold Aunt Zhou in her arms. On the hand, I just know how to walk."

Zhang Qingyan also immediately said, "This is not rare, I still remember that meeting, when I was five and 5 years old, he caught a pheasant. Grandpa helped him kill him. He took the chicken legs and set them on fire. The roast was black and covered with leaves. Secretly ran towards Qiaotou and ran to Jiaojiao. Now it’s fun to think about it. You know to give something to a 4-year-old girl when you are 5 years old., Xiaowu, did you know this was your wife at that time? what?"

Zhang Guoqing was helpless to face everyone's jokes.The topic deviated too far, and the four old men above looked on with a smile, unable to close their mouths.

He changed the subject abruptly, "Brothers, how about we go to the creek in advance the day after tomorrow? There are wild deer and goats there. If you are lucky, you can buy a few more to sell or keep the pot for the New Year."

Zhang Qingfeng nodded excitedly after hearing this, "It is true that we have to go there first. There are many people in these three villages. They are all scattered. It is estimated that the wild animals have scared the mountains. We have nothing to do these days. Xiao Wu Count me in."

"I'll go too, go early the day after tomorrow, come back early."

"I'm going with you, I'm short of meat, and I will bring the guy the day after tomorrow."

"Needless to say, you have all gone, I must keep up. By the way, see if there are any good medicinal materials."

As the boss, Zhang Qingshan saw that everyone wanted to go. After they finished speaking, he said, "We will gather at your second uncle at 6 the day after tomorrow, and come back close to dark to avoid being conspicuous. Don't tell the outside world. Prepare more dry food. Bring a small pot over, Xiao Wu, you prepare the small pot. We have seven brothers here, and the remaining brothers in the family will wait until the day after tomorrow. Too many people ask for leave from the three of us. It will not affect it. You can also tell me by the way. If you go too much, it’s not good. This matter is settled. Are there anything to add?"

Zhang Guofu thought for a while, and shook his head, "I think the eldest brother has arranged everything, there is nothing to add, let my mother prepare more dry food."

Both Zhang Qingfeng and Zhang Qingyan shook their heads and said that there was nothing to add.
