Wang Dahu opened the door curtain and saw a few aunts and aunts, sitting on the kang chatting with the old lady.
After greeting each other politely, he raised his sleeve and complained to his grandma, "The clothes are cut!"
"It's okay, I'll just mend it for you!" The old lady took out the needle and thread from the kang head cabinet, and started to sew thinly on the spot without him taking it off.
"The longer the tiger is, the more handsome it is!" an aunt put down her work and praised with a smile.
"Don't tell me it is! Among the children in our village, except for the one from the Li family, there is no one as energetic as him!" another aunt praised with a smile. The old lady likes someone to praise her eldest grandson the most. Hearing this, she was not humble enough to talk about what Wang Dahu had done before, especially about how he cleverly escaped from the kidnapper. The key point was repeated many times.
Such an undisguised "show off" is a bit unbearable even with Wang Dahu's thick skin. But the women beside him took it seriously one by one, and they looked at Wang Dahu with more joy, especially one of the women who was a bit dark and thin looked at him with a very "hot" look in his eyes.
"Da Zhuang, his mother, those two children of your family are also in the same class as Da Hu?"
"Yes!" The woman who looked a bit dark and thin replied with a smile, "However, those two in our family are not as big as others. Let's not say that the eldest girl is a girl, but the big and strong one is really skinny. Like hob meat, only the shopkeeper in our family can deal with him... "
The woman's surname is Wan, and her name is Wan Shumei.
It was Sun Lan and Sun Dazhuang's mother.
"Haha..." The other two aunts laughed at the same time: "It doesn't matter if the children are naughty, rural children, that one didn't come here so wild..."
As the saying goes, three women play a show, not to mention that there are four females in this room.
In just a few minutes, Wang Dahu learned a lot of gossip.
Why did the Zhang family and the Li family quarrel over the land relocation! The daughter of the Liu family is getting married, and so-and-so's family has lost several chickens, who may have touched them, and so on.
Hearing that, Wang Dahu was so interested that he didn't even leave after his sleeves were sewed.
"It's over?" He asked with a pair of big eyes shining with golden light: "The girl from Liu Baolai's house is really dating Qin Jieba?"
Is that ten thousand year old bachelor really going to marry a wife?
"Can Uncle Liu's family be willing?"
"Don't we pay attention to free love now! As long as the girl is willing, the old man will ignore it!"
Several women chatted, laughed and muttered about some new and strange things, and they didn't go home until noon.
"Huzi, what's the matter?" the old lady asked while putting away the wire basket in her hand.
"Reading upstairs!"
"Tell him to take a break and watch his eyes carefully. I will cook now and call you all to come down and eat!"
"Okay!"
A few days later, Wang Dahu's body has completely recovered, and he is no different from usual except that he cannot exercise vigorously.
Because it was approaching the "special recruitment" exam for the key middle schools in the county, Wang Dahu also put away his playfulness and spent every day seriously reviewing his homework with Li Qingran.
On this day, in the evening, the family finished their meal.
Wang Dahu saw that Wang Shoumin seemed to have a sad look on his brow, and he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, sir? What happened?"
"It's nothing." Wang Shoumin took a sip of the dry tobacco in his hand and muttered, "It's a matter of the village!"
"What's the matter?"
"In the past few days, there have been reports from the villagers that animals have been lost at home. They are all chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. I don't know which wicked person did this stealthy business. If I find out, I have to arrest him and parade him through the streets. Do not show it to the public!"
"Still parading in the streets? Do you think this was more than 30 years ago?" The old lady sneered when she heard this.
"What do you know!" The old man glared at her: "That wicked person not only stole other people's chickens and ducks, what's more, he stole things not for food, but for harm. You didn't see it, he put That chicken was cut into pieces, with blood everywhere, and put it at the door of someone's house, isn't that just looking for a beating!"
"That's really hurtful!" Wang Dahu imagined that when he opened the door early in the morning and saw a "corpse" with a bloody prickly hula at the door, he would be furious. So, because of this matter, Wang Shoumin investigated for several days in a row. Unfortunately, the old man was not a "criminal investigation" professional, and he checked thirteen tricks but found nothing.
The harmed person did not come out to cause harm again, so the matter was over.
In the summer of July, the sun is like fire.
Early in the morning, Wang Dahu and Li Qingran got up just after dawn. Today is their "exam" day, so they have to get up early to prepare. The old lady specially cooked a bowl of noodles for the two children, and put a piece of ham sausage and two poached eggs on top, which meant that they got 100 points in the test.
"Come on, of course, eat more!" Wang Dahu looked at Li Qingran, who looked a bit unhappy, and said jokingly: "I said that your heart can't bear it! It's just an exam. As for making you so nervous ?"
Li Qingran glanced at him, lowered his head to eat the noodles, and did not speak.
Wang Dahu frowned. For some reason, he always felt that he seemed to have something on his mind these days, always frowning, but he didn't say anything when asked. But if you want to come, it's just because you are nervous before the exam!
The test center was at an elementary school in the county. Wang Guangzong had come over the night before, and he happened to drive them there this morning.
They arrived on time at 8:40, and many parents and children had already surrounded the door. After a hasty calculation, there must be more than 200 people. Zhang Fang had been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw them coming, she greeted them and went under the tree.
"Did you bring all the admit cards?"
"Don't worry!" Wang Dahu said with a smile, "Nothing will go wrong."
"Don't be nervous during the exam! Just do your best and don't be burdened."
"Cut! Mom, you underestimate us too!" Wang Dahu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Your son must give you a champion!"
Zhang Fang looked at her son's "full self-confidence", her face turned into a flower, she nodded his head and said, "Someone is still there, and it's your turn to be the champion?"
"Hee hee... Aren't we all your sons? The exams are the same for everyone!"
There was no need to say anything between the two, they gave each other a cheering look, and entered the examination room with the flow of people, ready to usher in the "first battle" of life.
Two in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The exam didn't end until after four o'clock.
Wang Dahu felt that he did well in the exam. Of course, no matter how good he was in his previous life, he was also a college student. The junior high school exam is naturally easy to grasp. They stayed in the county for one night, and they returned to the village the next day.
After more than a week, the results came out.
Wang Dahu's total score was 298, Li Qingran's total score was 300, and both were admitted to that key middle school in two days. As soon as the news came, the old Wang's family was full of joy. The old lady specially cooked a whole table of dishes and meals to celebrate. That night, Wang Dahu was lured by his grandfather to drink a glass of white wine. Jen thumped.
"Dahu, did you see where our little black went?" the old lady asked with some doubts while holding the dog food bowl.
"Not in the yard?"
"No, I was thinking about feeding him something to eat! This bastard has gone crazy again!"
"Maybe I went out to look for food by myself, it's okay! Xiao Hei is alive, and he will be back in a while!"
However, what Wang Dahu didn't expect was that he didn't see it come back until it was completely dark. Naturally, Wang Dahu couldn't do without looking for it all over the village, but after asking all over, no one saw where it went. Xiao Hei was raised by Li Qingran since he was a child. After his mother Hei Bei passed away a few years ago, he took on the responsibility of looking after the Wang family's house. Although he occasionally ran out like this, he never came back after dark, so Wang Dahu was really worried.
Hearing that the dog was gone, Li Qingran was also very anxious.
It was Wang Dahu who comforted him, and agreed that the two of them would continue to look for it at dawn tomorrow.
However, three days have passed, and Xiao Hei still hasn't been found. For some reason, Wang Dahu remembered the "harmful" that his grandfather said, and he had some bad premonitions, let alone his Xiaohei who also suffered from someone's black hand!
Sure enough, good spirits do not have bad spirits.
Two days later, Xiao Hei was found lying in the grass beside the small river at the west end of the village.
A sack was wrapped around his head, his body was stabbed like a sieve, and blood was everywhere.
"Don't look!" Wang Dahu took a deep breath, and tightly covered Li Qingran's eyes.
The scene was too bloody, and he was afraid of scaring him.
Li Qingran's face was extremely pale, and his body suddenly swayed twice.
The surrounding area was full of villagers, all pointing and discussing. Xingye Village has always been a very "peaceful" small village. Although every family kills pigs and sheep during the New Year, it has never been like today's scene. Although the dead is only a dog, it is obviously a killing of hatred. Fa, it is too cruel.
Xiao Hei was finally buried by the local people, and Wang Dahu dug the soil himself.
His eyes were red, but his heart was full of anger.
He swore that he must find that damned bastard who was beaten by thousands of knives.
In the evening, Wang Dahu came out of the bathroom and saw Li Qingran sitting on the bed in a daze, so he hurriedly walked to his side, touched his head, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Li Qingran's complexion was very bad, as if he was afraid of something.
He opened his mouth as if to say something...
"Huh? What did you say?"
"No!" Li Qingran shifted his gaze, and said in a daze: "It's nothing, I'm probably overthinking!"
