When the stipulation was first posted on the door, Sanwang was uncomfortable, always felt that something was wrong, and he had to check it out from time to time.
But he didn't dare to tear it off.
Mai Sui even deliberately put his test papers and homework on their kang, depending on whether he dared to doodle.
Sanwang couldn't help it. Anyway, the test paper was in front of him before the whip was drawn. It was as if he was provoking him: You dare not draw.
He took the pen and wanted to draw a big zero, but was pulled by Xiao Wang, "Little third brother, no way."
Sanwang took a breath and couldn't help it.
Xiaowang: "Dad fight!"
Sanwang: "… "It hurts.
never mind! I'll let you go!
He glanced hard at the bright red one hundred and put away his pencil.
Xiaowang immediately put away Mai Sui's test paper and put it on the Beikang, "Little third brother is really good."
Sanwang: "..." Do you think I'm a duck duck dog
In school, there is Dawang staring at him, but he can't do anything out of the ordinary. Sanwang couldn't sit still in class, but Han Qingping was considerate to him. He asked him to go out to help with some activities and activities for half a class, so it was not a big problem.
After school, go home, do homework, eat, sleep. How could such a bland, boring and rigid life be Brother Sanwang!
If the whip is not on your body, it is not yours! He couldn't help it.
"Mother, I'm optimistic about a lot of wild vegetables. I'll dig wild vegetables to feed the ducks." San Wang thought of a way to get rid of boredom. Anyway, as long as he didn't stay at home, he felt as if he had put a bridle on himself.
Lin Lan had to tell him, "Don't do anything dangerous."
There is a problem with this kid. The items listed by his father may not be done, but the items not listed may be tried one by one.
Xiaowang carried his harmonica on his back and also took a small shovel, "Mother, my third brother and I are digging vegetables."
As soon as Lin Lan saw her younger son, she softened her heart and kissed him, "Little Wang, don't let him make mistakes when you watch the younger brother, or you will be whipped like the older brother."
Xiaowang's face froze, and he nodded solemnly, "Mother, I remember it!"
With Xiaowang staring at him, Sanwang has never made any mistakes.
Lin Lan was overjoyed, not bad, it seemed like she was going to relax.
A few days later, tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. Although the farming is busy, the festival still has to be celebrated. Cold food eat cold food, the local custom is to make cakes.
After returning from work in the evening, Lin Lan made the dough. She used the tender mugwort cut by Dawang to smash and extract the juice. She added it to the flour to make some green dough, and made green cakes specially to coax the children.
The noodles are soft and soft, grab a dough and roll it into a thin round cake, which can be baked on the scorpion or steamed in a large pot.
The pancakes are full of toughness, and the burritos are soft and elastic. Whether it is cabbage or rolled eggs, it is very good. It has a special satisfaction in eating, and adults and children like it.
Rolling pancakes and burning scallops are all technical tasks. For those who can roll, a rolling pin can roll a ball of dough thinly and evenly. If you don't know how to roll it, it's sticky, torn, uneven thickness, and people will laugh at it.
The same is true for the roasted scallops, the cake that can't be burned will not look good.
Lin Lan rolled the cake very neatly. Erwang also learned to burn scallops very quickly, and he basically mastered the essentials after listening to his mother's demonstration a few times.
It is the best if the pancakes have small burn marks without being mushy, and are cooked evenly.
Lin Lan kept praising him. To this handsome and polite second son, she has never been stingy with compliments, and she can always change the way. Make Erwang happy every day, never feel that the mother loves the younger brother and ignores him.
She also rolled out a pot of steamed pancakes, and asked Maisui to help set the fire. A dozen eggs were boiled in the pan, and the pancakes could be eaten at that time.
Sanwang and Xiaowang stood by the pot holding hands and drooling. Lin Lan pulled them aside with a rolling pin, "You two have dirt on your body, so don't drop your teeth on your face."
These two brothers can be regarded as golden partners now. Xiaowang stares at Sanwang, don't be so naughty, Sanwang has brought Xiaowang to the point of autism. It's just that the two of them play in the dirt every day, their clothes can't be washed, and the soap is expensive.
Seeing his mother dislike it, Sanwang sighed and dragged Xiaowang to the duck circle in the patio to sit on a tree stump and watch the sunset.
"Xiao Wang, I have a secret that I haven't told you."
Xiao Wang stared at his big black and white eyes, and looked attentive.
Sanwang: "Actually, you were exchanged by our mother for two cakes, not her own."
Xiaowang's face suddenly changed, and he was about to cry when his mouth was shriveled.
At this time, there is no popular science about the origin of babies, and children are curious about how they came from, and always like to ask. When the adults are annoying and hard to say, they will perfunctory them with words such as "you picked it up", "you got it in exchange for the big cake", and "caught it from the river".
My own children fool around like this and joke about other people's children, which makes the seven or eight-year-old children in the village feel that they were picked up or exchanged.
Generally, younger children don't pay attention, and older children don't believe it. When they are only seven or eight years old, they are stubborn and convinced about this issue.
Many people joked about Sanwang, saying that Maisui Erwang studied well, but he did not study well, so he must have picked it up.
After saying this several times, he also felt that he picked it up. Now that Xiaowang is disliked, it is estimated that he also picked it up.
Anyway, in his opinion, only the elder sister and the second elder brother are biological, and they are never scolded or beaten. The elder elder brother may have been born or picked up.
Other children find it fun and are happy to say it. They think it's so fun that they picked it up, and of course I have to pick it up too. When encountering sensitive and delicate children, you may have to pack up your small burdens to find your own parents, most of them are happy.
But Xiaowang is a child who is not very funny, especially when he believes in Sanwang, he takes it seriously as soon as he hears it.
Seeing that he was about to cry, Sanwang hurriedly hugged him and touched his head to comfort him, "Don't cry, there is a little third brother, I will treat you as my own love."
He listened to other adults coaxing children like this, and in terms of learning, Xiao Wang was comforted by leaning on his arms.
"Little third brother, will that mother not love me anymore?"
Sanwang: "Of course mother loves you, and she doesn't scold you or beat you, she loves you the most."
Xiaowang thought about it, although it is not his own, but his mother loves it.
Sanwang continued to fool him: "Don't ask your mother, adults don't like children to know. If a child knows that he picked it up, the adults will ask the child to go back when he gets angry. Do you want to be taken away? "
Xiaowang shook his head vigorously, indicating that he would never be carried back without saying that he knew it.
Sanwang patted the puppy's head with satisfaction and smiled smugly.
When Han Qingsong came back from work, he saw Sanwang hugging Xiaowang, looking like a brotherly love. He also felt that although this kid was naughty, he was still kind to his younger brother.
It seems that the intensive training this time has been fruitful.
When Han Qingsong entered the house, Lin Lan asked him to cut some leeks, knock a few eggs, and bake some ha-cakes to treat the children.
Sanwang likes to eat leeks and eggs. He has endured hard these days and should be rewarded.
For a flat cake, spread the leek and eggs, and then fold the cake in half. Take another bowl and roll the sides around, and tear off the irregular sides, which is a very regular semi-circle, which is fragrant and fresh.
As a result, the children ate their stomachs one by one, especially Sanwang's stomach was full and his mouth was not full. In the end, he could only watch his father and brothers eat their own eyes.
Lin Lan is funny when he sees him like that. If it were in modern times, he would definitely be a loyal fan of Dawei Internet Red.
After dinner, the team leader shouted on the street with a loudspeaker, "Tomorrow's Tomb-sweeping Day, men will worship their ancestors and sweep the tombs early in the morning, and then go to work. Women and children can go to the front and rear to play swings when they have a day off. Women who do not have a holiday will double their work points. !"
This is the benefit of the brigade to women and children.
It is said that New Year's Eve is a men's festival, and Qingming Festival is a women's festival, playing swings, outings, and playing in groups.
Han Yongfang doesn't support swings or anything, not to mention the danger, and delaying work. But the captain persuaded him to still give the women a holiday, let them play, work if they want to work, play if they want to play, and it's fine.
When Han Yongfang heard it, she wasn't happy about the holiday and let them play. Isn't that delaying work? He said to the captain, "then go to work with double work points", so that most of the women would not rest.
Captain: You are cunning!
Being disturbed by Han Yongfang, most women choose to go to work, and some choose to work for half a day. The favored girl or the newly married young daughter-in-law can rest for the whole day and go to other villages to play the swing together.
Han Qingsong asked Lin Lan to lead his daughter and kid to play, and he took Dawang Erwang to earn work points.
"Once a year," he said.
Lin Lan can think about it, and it's a daughter's day with her daughter to play.
Mai Sui was so happy when she heard this, she wrapped her arms around Lin Lan's neck and circled, "Mother, you are so kind."
She turned her head to see Sanwang and Xiaowang standing side by side, looking up at her together, her eyes were extremely envious.
Mai Sui was surprised: "Ah yo, what kind of eyes do you two look like?"
Sanwang sighed, patted Xiaowang's head, and sighed in a tone that only Xiaowang understood.
Xiaowang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and took Sanwang's hand out.
Lin Lan: "..." What's going on here
When washing her face and feet in the evening, she would wash Xiaowang as usual.
Xiaowang: "Mother, I'll wash it myself." I wash my feet and feet, try my best to make my mother like it, and I won't be sent away.
Lin Lan said in surprise, "Xiaowang has grown up, and he can wash his feet by himself."
Sanwang immediately ran over, "Xiaowang, I'll wash it for you."
Seeing him so sensible, Lin Lan was even happier, and patted the heads of the two children, "The little third brother is awesome, he will take care of his younger brother."
Sanwang laughed, washed Xiaowang's feet, wiped it with a cloth, and carried Xiaowang onto the kang.
Xiaowang took off his clothes obediently, and looked at Lin Lan from time to time. If Lin Lan didn't look at him, he would be very disappointed. If Lin Lan looked at him, his eyes would light up, and then he tried to show himself taking off his clothes.
Lin Lan saw that Xiao Wang had taken off his clothes and slipped into the bed naked. He went over and kissed him, "The child is awesome, he can sleep by himself."
Xiao Wang hesitated and did not put his arms around Lin Lan's neck. Instead, he held her face with his small hands and pressed his own face to rub against it.
The third brother said that putting his arms around his neck would strangle people.
Seeing him like this, Lin Lan's heart was about to melt, and she rubbed back, "Mother likes Xiaowang. Go to sleep."
Xiaowang smiled sweetly because of this sentence, and obediently lay in the bed and waited for his second brother.
After kissing Xiaowang, Lin Lan patted Sanwang's head again, praising him for being sensible. However, he has always been a preserved egg. Lin Lan has never kissed him like Xiaowang. After all, he is an older child, and she feels too nauseous.
Lin Lan urged Dawang and the others to go to bed quickly.
Dawang is either going to school or work these days. He spends some time thinking about practicing his slingshot, and he talks less. Erwang and Mai Sui read books when they are free and talk about things that other children are not interested in.
After the children were all on the kang, Lin Lan went to wash by herself, and then went to the kang after cleaning up.
Han Qingsong came in from the main room, wiping his hair, and wrapped around a white soil-clothed bath towel, which Lin Lan stepped on with a sewing machine.
Lin Lan looked at him quietly while pretending to read a book. His neat short hair, slender neck, and handsome collarbone extended to his powerful shoulders. Following his movements, the graceful muscular lines of his arms were pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at them. of.
The most eye-catching thing is that he has perfect abdominal muscles and mermaid lines.
She giggled to herself.
Han Qingsong saw that she was holding a book of military songs in her hand, and her cheeks were blushing for not knowing what to read, and she smiled sullenly.
He closed the door, stepped onto the kang with his long legs, and moved closer to her, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Lan: ...Look at you!
Such slender and straight legs, how long are they
She leaned her legs over for comparison.
In his eyes, her legs are long and fair, and the visual effect is very attractive, especially when it comes to the feel...
His throat felt a little dry.
Lin Lan exclaimed, "Do you think I'm fat?"
She ate well and didn't work much during the New Year, she seemed to be really fat.
Han Qingsong put his big hand on it and felt it for a while. It felt excellent. "It feels just right."
Lin Lan: "You can't do it when you're older. You see, there's a lot of muscle on your waist, so you need to exercise. How about I follow you to exercise in the morning?"
As soon as the voice fell, she was pressed on the quilt.
"Start exercising now." His voice was hoarse and his black eyes were burning.
Lin Lan: "..." I think I'm pretty skinny!
The next day, Qingming, Han Qingsong got up early, took the children to train first, then Erwang wheat ears cooked, and Dawang took the two younger ones out to break willow branches, pine cypresses, and peach branches.
They beat each house to one side first, calling it beat geckos and poisonous insects to exorcise evil spirits, then cut pine and cypress and put it on their hair, saying that they could prevent centipedes and other insects from piercing their ears, and they would be safe all year round. After cleaning up, put the willow branches and peach branches on the door, and make a circle to bring them to Wangwang.
Sanwang has a serious face and a tone like an old man, "Hmph, if you don't stick a willow in Qingming, you will turn into a yellow dog when you die."
Lin Lan: "..." She also doesn't understand idealism, so she can't teach it.
Xiaowang immediately shouted, "I don't want to die and become a yellow dog."
Mai Sui hurriedly coaxed him, "You're so little, you still have a hundred years to live."
Children don't understand the meaning of a hundred years. They only think that people will die. There is no difference between decades and hundreds of years and a few days. It's very scary.
He hugged Lin Lan's leg, "Mother, I don't want you to die."
Lin Lan knelt down and pinched his chubby cheeks, "Mother won't die, you have to wait until you grow up to be as tall as your father..."
"Then don't want my mother to die." Xiao Wang frowned.
"That's not going to happen. Mother, like the pomegranate tree, will never die." Lin Lan coaxed him.
Xiaowang looked at the vigorously growing pomegranate tree at home. Although it didn't have a pomegranate yet, it was growing quite well. He was relieved.
Lin Lan made a few single-cake egg rolls, tied them with a white thread, then wrapped them in a clean bag and put them in a schoolbag, and took them to eat when they went to play on the swing at noon.
Outside, Sanwang led Xiaowang to the bottom of the gate, hiding from the adults and wanting to whisper to him about the impermanence of life and death.
Sanwang is lively, travels from east to west, knows a lot of things, and there is nothing in the village that he does not know. Whose child has been born, whose child is gone after a few days, whose child is three or four years old and then died, who...
He pulled Xiao Wang aside, and he was about to speak, but Da Wang, who was following him, grabbed his ears.
Sanwang: "Big brother, don't pull your ears, you are still my big brother."
Dawang snorted: "What are you muttering about?"
Xiaowang smiled, "Brother, don't pull your ears, you'll turn into donkey ears."
Sanwang's skin tends to be black after raising it for a winter. If the ears are longer, it will be like a black donkey.
Dawang let go of his hand, but pinched Sanwang's shoulder, "Tell Xiaowang nonsense, I'll slap you."
If he was asked to tell Xiaowang the words he had died in this way or that, the child might not be able to get in and out.
Xiao Wang was still curious, "What are you going to say, little third brother? I'm listening."
Seeing how well-behaved he is, Sanwang feels that he is so easy to cheat, how uncomfortable it is not to cheat, he can't help it!
But under the obscenity of his eldest brother, he had to change his words, "I said let's play the swing, it's not fun, let's dig wild vegetables, pick flowers, and find bugs to feed the chickens to lay eggs."
It's so frustrating to be stared at by my mother and sister while playing on the swing.
Xiaowang wanted to follow his mother.
Sanwang: "Let's tie a rope to the tree over there, and we can also play a swing."
He found a rope and tied it to the poplar tree outside the door.
Dawang went over to help when he saw that he was blind, and after tying it up, it turned out to be a swing.
Xiaowang was very happy, "Play on the swing."
Sanwang: "Don't go to the outer village. Hundreds of people grab such a swing, and they won't be able to get their turn until midnight. Stupid or not. Besides, they are all women. Let's go and play with them, rotten feet."
Xiaowang has no concept of hundreds of people queuing up, but his feet can't rot! So a little hesitant.
Sanwang made persistent efforts, "mother and daughter, how can I take care of us? Let them have fun, so as not to be distracted to take care of us."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang nodded: "Don't hold back your mother."
Sanwang touched his head, "Good boy, third brother will take you to fly."
After dinner, the men went to worship their ancestors and went to work. Lin Lan was going to take Mai Sui and the two little ones to play the swing. Who knew that Sanwang said that he would take his younger brother to dig wild vegetables instead of playing the swing.
Sanwang: "The swing is too big. Xiaowang and I are afraid and dare not fight."
Lin Lan: "Mother is holding it, don't be afraid."
Xiaowang: "I'm afraid."
Lin Lan: "That mother isn't going either. Let your sister and other sister-in-law go with you."
At this time, Cauliflower, Yanyan, and another girl ran over. Seeing Lin Lan and Mai Sui, they happily said, "Mr. Lin, Mai Sui, let's go, let's play the swing together."
Qiantun is not far from them, more than two miles away, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive.
Seeing them, Lin Lan felt a little uneasy again. She subconsciously wanted to keep Mai Sui away from Yanyan. After all, the original heroine is Maisui's nemesis. What if the plot becomes irreversible
Sanwang said: "Mother, you and your sister go to play the swing. We will play the swing at home and not run around."
In the past, Xiaowang used to play on the street by himself. Recently, Sanwang took him out to dig wild vegetables and play. There was nothing to worry about, so Lin Lan was not worried.
"Okay then, let's go play the swing." Lin Lan put down some food for the two children and let them solve their hunger and thirst by themselves.
Sanwang: "Mother, I'm not a child, I will take care of my brother." This is my own!
Lin Lan smiled, patted his head, and kissed Xiaowang, "Have fun at home."
She led a few girls away.
As soon as they left, Sanwang was like Jiefang. There was always a feeling that my parents were not at home, and I was the master of the house.
Xiaowang watched him happily running in the yard, wondering why he was so crazy.
After running for a few laps, Sanwang finally vented his excitement, and didn't toss around the house.
The two of them played on the swings, frogs-the car was broken for an hour, and finally got tired of it.
Sanwang led him to eat a piece of cake and rolled eggs, wiped his face intimately, then carried a basket and a shovel, "Come on, let's go dig the vegetables. I tell you, this family has to be supported by men like us. Come on, it's good for women to eat, drink, play and be smug."
…
They plucked out a basket of wild vegetables and saw that the sun was still high. Sanwang said that they would take them to the river to wash them. If they were taken home to dry, they could be chopped up for the ducks to eat.
In the first ten days of March, although the ice in the river had melted, the water in the river was still bone-chilling.
Xiaowang: "Little third brother, mother won't let you play in the water, it's cold and cramps."
Sanwang: "You wait there, I'll wash the wild vegetables."
Xiaowang still shook his head, not letting him go.
Sanwang: "I just take off my shoes to wash the wild vegetables, but don't go into the water. My father dares to swim in winter. I'm his son, so I don't dare to wash the vegetables?"
Xiaowang thought about it, it seems that too? Nodding again, "Just wash the dishes."
Sanwang washed the wild vegetables and stared at the water surface. The spring water looked extraordinarily soft and clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. There were also flocks of white geese and ducks swimming in the water. Everything looked so beautiful.
He wondered what it would feel like to go swimming. After holding back for more than half a year, he felt itchy all over, as if something in the water was hooking him.
He heard someone talking about winter swimming on the radio, and Dad also said that they organize a winter swimming competition for warriors in winter.
Aren't they cold
Dad said that the water is actually hot in winter, is it true
He couldn't help taking off his socks and soaking his feet in the water, "Ah! It's so cool, so cool, let's have three more tanks!"
Really fucking frozen feet.
Xiaowang giggled happily when he saw his grin, "Aren't you cold?"
San Wang patted his chest and imitated Yang Zirong's posture, "Your little third brother is a man from Lin Haixueyuan, how can you be cold!"
At this time, a few boys also came over to cut out vegetables. Seeing that Sanwang dared to put his feet in the river, one of the boys laughed and said, "You are really not afraid of the cold."
Although Sanwang's teeth were shaking from the cold, his mouth was hard: "The water is hot, but not cold at all."
He deliberately kicked the water with his feet.
Hammer dragged a big snot and took a breath, "I dare."
He also took off his shoes and ran down, putting his feet in the water, "Ow—it's hot!"
In addition, the boy dared or dared not. Even if the person who reached in was freezing to death, he still insisted that he was not cold, and had to shout that it was so hot.
At this time, the second boy from Zhao Guilian's family ran over happily and sneered: "What a powerful foot, I bet none of you dare to go swimming!"
