Poor relatives and rich relatives
Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. They told the judge that they were relatives. The two families are separated by a mountain not far apart. Although there is a big gap between the rich and the poor, they are not isolated from each other, but often come and go.
Rich relatives have money, but they are not generous or stingy. Poor relatives are careless and don't care They haven't seen each other for several days, but they still miss their rich relatives as much as other places in Sanqiu. They go to their house from time to time, and their feet run very frequently. Rich people are superstitious about geomantic omen. They think that the tides in their homes are not as good as those in the crowd, and the days when many people rush to him will be prosperous. Therefore, I am not enthusiastic about people coming home to eat and drink for free. Although the meat hurts, I will not show disgust and turn away the guests.
Blx's poor relatives come and go, and their minds are still there. During the slack season, I don't think it's cost-effective to stay at home and eat rice. I'm going to visit rich families to eat and drink.
On this day, the sky is full of morning glow. As the saying goes, it is certain that the morning glow will not go out and it will rain tomorrow. However, he chose this auspicious day with good intentions, raised a half-fat cock at home to cover his hands, and leisurely went to the rich family in the village.
On the road, the chicken was deliberately squeezed tightly, making it half dead. The wishful thinking is very loud, thinking that chickens can't stay with relatives, and rich relatives want to kill chickens and treat them, and then take noodles and bring gifts to eat. Kill two birds with one stone, what a bargain.
I hurried to the door of the rich man's house, but I hid the chicken behind my back. The rich man asked, "Why are you here? The work in the field was finished so soon? "
The poor relative said, "The inventory of my place has already been counted. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time. Isn't this to see you? "
"Nonsense! What do I want to see? Crops are flowers, you might as well take a good look at your crops. " Rich relatives are straightforward and not euphemistic at all.
The poor relative said, "You haven't heard from me these days. I thought you were ill. See you soon, and I'll go back. " So I pretended to turn around and leave.
As soon as he turned around, the rich relatives saw the big cock on his back, so he acted according to circumstances and immediately grabbed the sleeve of the poor relatives enthusiastically and said, "I was going to ask you out later. Naturally, today you came. How can I eat before I leave?" Although there are no delicacies, there are still some simple meals. Sit in the house and drink water. "
Poor relatives thought: thin camels are fatter than horses, so it is better to sing if you pretend to be so modest. This time, I got my own chicken, not to mention delicious. It shouldn't be a problem to get some chicken oil and meat anyway. The baggage and take the journey: "Take this chicken to the kitchen quickly, it will burn out."
The host family quickly brought the chicken, but instead of killing it with a stove, they said, "My laying hens are short of a rooster." Go straight to the henhouse. He secretly prayed that the rooster would be loveless and bring about his own destruction. I didn't know that when he saw hens, the guy who cut off his skull and made a fool of himself was not familiar with them, so he naturally became familiar with them and soon recovered his vitality.
The poor relatives looked around the rich relatives' houses gloomily, knocked on their big grain cabinets, visited underground wine cellars, pig-humming pens and flocks of barns for chickens and ducks. My stomach growled, and before I knew it, it was time to eat, and the host didn't mean to eat.
My mind was wide open and I remembered that the rich family had come back after the autumn harvest. It took three poles to get the sun before dinner, and it was a big steamed bread full of glistening. Hungry poor relatives are preparing to reach out and eat. The rich relative of the miser was worried that the poor relative ate too much of his steamed bread, so he asked his wife to bring a bowl of soup to the poor relative and said unhurriedly, "It's cold today. Let's drink a bowl of soup to warm ourselves up first." The poor man had to mumble three times, five times and twice before he finished the soup and was about to grab the steamed bread. When the rich relatives saw it, they immediately took the opportunity to move a bowl of soup and said, "It's really cold today. Drink another bowl of soup to warm up. "
The poor man was embarrassed and had to continue to drink a bowl of soup. After drinking the soup, they think they can always eat steamed bread. The rich man just handed a bowl of soup at the right time and said, "It's really cold today. Have another bowl of soup to warm up. " The poor man grabbed a steamed bun at the right time and stuffed it into his mouth. He wolfed it down and sobbed bitterly and said, "It's freezing today. Let me have a steamed bread!"
I drew a lot of steamed buns to satisfy my hunger, and finally I let my host eat them. This time, the rich relatives put a gold ingot at the foot of each of the four tables to show off his wealth. The poor relative looked at the table and was disappointed to find that there was nothing on it. It's really just ordinary tea and rice, plus an ordinary home-cooked pickle and a plate of fried beans.
Rich relatives, while pushing kimchi and fried beans around in front of the guests like delicacies, also plausibly chanted: "The windows are bright and clean, everything is prosperous at home, and simple tea and plain rice are really delicious." People can't eat and wear for a lifetime, and it's not worth being poor for a lifetime, don't you think? " Poor relatives were speechless and nodded again and again.
Before the meal was finished, it began to rain, and the poor relatives conveniently stayed in the rich family. The rain kept ticking down until the next evening, and the poor relatives naturally did not leave. Naturally, the rich man can't be straightforward and bored, so he takes out paper to show off his elegance in front of poor relatives and writes poems and practices calligraphy himself. I wrote a pair of couplets. The first part is "A good wine-making jar is sour with vinegar", and the second part is "A pig is as big as a mountain, but only a mouse dies". The poor relatives said to themselves, "The wine-making jar is good with vinegar, but the jar is sour. Raising pigs is as big as a mountain mouse, only death. " Rich relatives were so angry that they cursed the crow's mouth and hoodwinked, so they frowned and took it to heart. The rich man wrote another meaningful order to drive away the guests: stay in rainy days and I will stay during the day. I didn't expect the poor to be so brazen to read: will you stay with me every day if it rains? Stay.
The rich have no choice but to think that poor relatives are thick-skinned, so they should not be ungrateful. He continued to entertain the poor guests with bright and simple meals, sitting at the table, still talking to himself about his platitudes: "We people don't pay attention to food, so we can't talk casually like beggars marry women." The poor people think that "these rich people just wipe their faces, play the prodigal son outside and drink pulp in the house" (which means pretending in dialect)
It rained for two whole days. On the third afternoon, it finally cleared up. Relatives of the rich and the poor have their own ideas. The poor think that this relative is a miser, and he is too stingy. He can't even see the chicken oil and water. The rich relative thought: This poor relative is really thick-skinned, which is thicker than the Great Wall of Wan Li and 24 fortresses. It's sunny, why don't you mention going home?
In any case, I can't lose my manners. Rich relatives invited poor relatives to stroll around the house. It was getting dark, and I saw a shadow not far away. The two began to talk one after another: "Look, is that a person or a ghost?"
There is some innuendo in the words of rich relatives: "It should not be a man. If it was a man, it would have left long ago. "
The poor relative immediately used his quick wits to retort, "I don't think he is human." If he is a man, why can't he see the meat? "
The poor relatives went home the next day, while the rich relatives pretended to stay. Poor relatives are really anxious to drag them back and invite rich relatives to his house. Say that you can't lose this face under any circumstances and owe him a favor.
The rich man who was entangled in the soft grinding thought, "That's right. The poor guy has been eating and drinking for free in his house for several days. Is he still afraid to go to his house? He didn't go for nothing, even if it was even. "
Just dressed up and went to his home in the village next door with poor relatives. Sitting in the main hall of the poor family, the poor often order their daughters to make tea and pour water, and at the same time send women to work in the kitchen to chat with their rich relatives about their parents' stories.
When it was time to eat, the poor relative told the rich man that his wife was busy in the kitchen and was going to eat soon. He also called four little boys from home and carried the table on four legs. The rich are confused. "My family invites you to dinner. Why use four children to lift the table? "
The poor man boasted, "Your four ingots can't move, they are dead treasures, and my smelly boy can move, and he is a clown."
The poor man's wife swished cooking in the kitchen next door, like the sound of meat in a pot. There is a fragrance floating over, and the rich relatives are born three feet. The poor man repeatedly said, "Don't worry, it's almost there." Food was delayed.
Hungry relatives stick to their chests and backs. It turned out that poor relatives had nothing to eat at home, only a plate of bacon was cooked in the kitchen, so my wife burned an empty pot next door and poured some water on the empty hot pot, making the food sound like a feast.
"Just handle it well, don't make it too complicated." The rich man is embarrassed again and again
"That how line, my brothers to wow. Although I am poor and have backbone, I will treat you to good wine and meat even if I die poor. What does this have to do with us? You are a distinguished guest. When you come to my house, there is light on your face, so it is brilliant. " Poor relatives called each other brothers with heroic faces at the dinner table.
Seeing rich relatives swallow saliva, they are all hungry. The poor relative pretended to yell at his wife in the kitchen: "You stupid bitch who ate the pig's tail, are you slow to cook?" Are you making ten bowls? Or a Manchu-Chinese banquet? "It was a rich relative who comforted him:" Don't worry. " While stroking his forehead.
He missed the opportunity from time to time and said, "Look at you sweating from the heat and your clothes are thick. Look at your clothes. Take it off and let my maid wash it for you. You can stay with me for a few more days. " Rich relatives were embarrassed to see him so warm and kind, so they took off their clothes and let them wash them.
But I'm too hungry to see the meal served. At this time, the poor girl came in in a panic and cried, "The clothes hung on the mulberry tree outside and disappeared after a while."
Rich relatives were hungry and angry when they heard this. They watched the whole family cry and scold the thief who stole clothes, and were stupid enough to eat Huang Lian-I can't tell you how bitter it was. I was in no mood to eat, saying that something suddenly occurred to me at home, so I turned around and left in three steps.
The poor relatives sent the boy to the village entrance to secretly see the rich relatives. The family sat down and fondled the guest's clothes, sighing repeatedly: "Good material, good material, or brand new. The new three years, the old three years, and the three years made up, which is enough for us to wear for many years. Adults wear it for the first time, then the second time, the third time! "
"Let's have dinner together! The bacon is served. " Treat your poor old man the way you treat him. He is satisfied with a room full of girls and boys.
