Ah Shui (3)
Ah Shui’s wedding caused ripples in the peaceful village.
The villagers, with great enthusiasm and curiosity, watched a group of people coming from the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, playing the suona, beating the waist drum, and carrying the eye-catching dowry. It was very lively.
Feng shui is very important when getting married in the countryside. You cannot go straight into the house from the main road. You must go around a bay, the so-called "Shangshui", traveling from west to east.
This group of people circumvented half of the production team, causing every household to go out to watch the fun and chase the team. When they arrived at Ah Shui's house, the long line of people and horses was sparsely several hundred meters long. When the bride arrived at the door of her house, the row of firecrackers had already been hung on the treetops. As soon as the old captain shouted, the firecrackers exploded with "crackling"!
The bride was being held by someone and her head was covered. As soon as Ah Shui got anxious, he picked up the bride and strode into the wedding room.
Fearing that the people behind the wedding would crowd in, several aunts and sisters-in-law each carried a plate of candies, peanuts, red dates, lotus seeds, jelly beans, and twists to block the bride's back, and tried their best to pour a lot of them into the crowd. Toss the snacks on the plate.
Children swarmed in, along with the elderly and villagers. Everyone was busy picking up the wedding candies and snacks that had fallen on the ground, and they did not care about making a new house.
Ah Shui took the opportunity to lock the door.
This Qiaoer was covered with a headscarf, his vision was not clear, and he was surrounded by others. Finally, Ah Shui carried him into the wedding room, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sixteen-year-old Qiaoer was already several months pregnant. Ah Shui was so happy that she didn’t know what to do. She asked Qiaoer if she was hungry? Are you thirsty?
Ah Shui is particularly handsome today. His newly cut hair is sprayed with hairspray, and he is wearing a crisp suit. There is a bright red flower pinned above the left breast pocket, and two words are floating below it: "Groom" .
Qiaoer was shy and blushing.
Looking at Ah Shui, he smiled so hard that Ah Shui felt as drunk as if he had drank wine!
Ah Shui just wanted to make love for a while...
The banquet was held in the village branch yard, and people from every household in the production team came. , attended Ah Shui’s banquet and congratulated Ah Shui on their happy marriage!
It can be said that Ah Shui is marrying a wife and having a baby. It’s a double happiness!
Damn Ah Shui! He walked with a windy voice, spoke in a long drawl, and made several twists in the rhythm of a sentence. All the accents of Huangmei Opera came out!
"Aunt Zhang family, where are you going? These are my Shui's wedding candies. Get some for your grandson!"
Aunt Zhang took the wedding candy and said: "Oh, Li's mother, the En family's Ah Shui is really promising. Will my wife be in confinement soon?"
"Haha, It’s still early!”
“Ten grandson invites us to drink the full moon wine!”
“That’s right!”< /p>
Every family has contributed a share, and those in the countryside have to ask for gifts in return. Ah Shui’s mother was so happy, this is:
Going from house to house to give wedding candies! The road to field work is water!
Everyone praised Ah Shui and said that Ah Shui was really capable, so why did he marry such a fairy-like beauty?
At the end of the spring of the next year, Ah Shui gave birth to a fat son weighing nearly eight pounds, who was named Ba Jin.
Rural people choose names such as black eagle, rabbit, lamb, bayangzi, laigou, old chicken, naughty boy, dasha, etc. The names contain animals and are silly, such as cats and dogs. Only cowards and idiots can make a living.
There are also boys who are specially named "Ya~Tou" and "Niu~er", and little girls are named "Little Grandma", "Dibao" and "God of Wealth". In short, the opposite is true. shouted.
First, because most rural areas favor boys over girls, they feel that boys are extraordinarily valuable and must be "hidden", so they call them "girls". Some give boys a rat tail and a thin comb. If you have long braids, treat them like a girl.
Girls are born shy, so they have to "age". This way to seek peace of mind, the purpose is: the leprous baby is easy to raise and will live a long life!
With such simple thoughts, the name of Eight Golds can be said to be simple, auspicious and elegant!
Eight Jin is born with eight pounds, and eight is a homophone for "fa". Eight Jin means "golden growth", which means a prosperous family, a prosperous wealth, and a prosperous child!
Speaking of Qiaoer, she is actually still a child, but she just became a mother in a daze.
Playing is still the same fun!
She hasn’t had enough fun yet!
After leaving the acrobatic gang, she also left that group of happy partners and the master who had high expectations for her.
All this is because of Ah Shui!
Where is Ah Shui~
When I was newly married, I stayed with Qiaoer all day long. After a few months of carefree life, until Qiaoer gave birth to a baby, I suddenly felt... "Alexander"!
Then, alas, then wow, it’s a little stretched!
Ah Shui didn't like farm work. Although his mother nagged him to go to the fields several times, he still felt that relying on just a few acres of land was not a way out after all.
Just sit back and eat the natural mountains!
Apart from the crop fields at the door, there is nothing to make a living.
Ah Shui thought about it with the villagers, and went to work in Fujian together, leaving Qiaoer and a few months of eight gold behind.
When Ah Shui made money, he asked someone who came back from Fujian to give it to Qiaoer.
Ah Shui himself missed Qiao'er and felt anxious, but he didn't have time to come back until he settled the bill during the New Year.
When Qiaoer saw Ah Shui, she burst into tears:
She took care of the baby by herself, and her mother-in-law was always working in the fields, so she couldn’t help her. The key point is that her mother-in-law is still outside saying that she is too lazy to eat and she is pregnant with a baby. She only wants to cry when she is carrying a baby, so how can she have free hands to do other things.
Ah Shui thought about discussing with his mother to start a separate family, and after the new year, the family would be divided.
In a row of houses, the eldest brother is on the left and Ah Shui is on the right. In the middle, Ah Shui's mother lives with her younger brother.
After the family separation, Ah Shui had to go out to work again on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Qiaoer called her own grandma.
The old man is only over 60 years old, and he has a great-grandson in his arms. He is a lucky man!
It is said that this grandma watched Qiaoer grow up. After she came here, she saw the life that Qiaoer lived, and she felt heart-wrenching pain!
This time grandma came over. Firstly, she was ready to protect Qiaoer and help with some work. Secondly, she must not let Qiaoer, the mother-in-law, bully her granddaughter again. She came here to support her. So majestic!
Since grandma arrived, Qiaoer has been helped by grandma in cooking, laundry and gardening. Qiaoer’s main task is to bring eight gold.
Qiaoer has regained the mentality of a little girl. From time to time, she can act coquettishly with her grandma, talk, laugh, and play. The days go by very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is here, and eight gold medals are already there. Almost eight months old.
One day, Qiaoer was sitting in front of a low table, nursing the baby in her arms, holding chopsticks in her right hand to pick up the rice on the table, and lying in the crook of her left hand, Xiao Bajin was listening to the feeding, holding a Playing cards, and competing for the upper hand with her neighbor who is more than a year younger than her.
I saw Qiaoer holding a mouthful of rice in his mouth and muttering at the same time: "Come on, Gouzi, wait a minute, I want this card."
As he said that, he took out a card Zhang 2, took care of Lai Gouzi's old King, and then excitedly played 34567 small straight, with a bomb at the end, which beat Lai Gouzi to pieces. On the bottom of five cents, the bomb was doubled, and Lai Gouzi was defeated. Lost a dime.
This Qiaoer smiled happily, "Giggle...", regardless of whether Ba Jin was eating milk or not, he just pushed the dishes aside and urged the dog to shuffle the dishes.
Ba Jin just grabbed the plump nipples, ate and played with them for a while. When the milk hit her eyes, she rubbed Rourou with her little hand, and the milky fragrance filled her face.
This scene happened to be seen by my mother-in-law who came back from working in the fields. Her words were not pleasant:
"You little brat, why are you so idle?" What? Your mother is working so hard in the field! Why are you so shameless here? I won’t be surprised if your mother doesn’t beat you to death when she comes back soon!”
When Lai Gouzi saw Ah Shui's mother's situation, he was so frightened that he dropped his playing cards, grabbed the remaining change and ran away.
As soon as Grandma Qiaoer heard her mother-in-law scolding her, she walked out of the house and said to her unhappily:
"My mother-in-law, how is my granddaughter?" It’s easy to have a playmate, but you’re better off scolding me! You’re just scolding Qiao’er!”
“What’s the matter? I’m just saying my Ah Shui is lazy.” What's the use of marrying a vixen? Can you be used as food? Or can you be used as a drink? You can't do anything, just play..."
What's going on? What's going on? My granddaughter is at my house, and we haven't let her do any work. Huh! What's it like here? The house leaks even when it rains. It's so hard to eat meat once every half a month. She has endured it, how come you don’t feel any pain at all? How old is she?”
“Ouch, ouch! She’s already a mother-in-law, why are you waiting to be pampered?” What? Haha, then you have gone to the wrong door! If you are so lazy and lazy, I will starve to death one day and I don’t know how!”
“Okay, You, a witch, are cursing my granddaughter to death. I think you, an old witch, must die!"
"Oh, you old man, why are you calling me a witch?"
"It's you I'm scolding today! Witch! Witch! Black-hearted old witch! As long as I'm here, you can't sit on my granddaughter's head and shit!"
"You old bastard..."
As they were talking, the old lady and Ah Shui’s mother pointed their hands to each other’s noses, and then they didn’t know who was first, but they actually started to move their hands, pulling each other’s hair and clothes, and shouting repeatedly. Shouting, crying and shouting, and calling each other ugly words.
Qiaoer anxiously ran to the next door with Bajin in his arms and called the neighbor's uncle and aunt.
The shelves were opened, and Grandma Qiaoer’s face was scratched, with some blood oozing out, and a lot of Ah Shui’s mother’s hair was lost.
The two old women sat down on the ground, holding boards in their hands, slapping the ground with a bang, pointing at each other, and bursting with snot and tears. The mother-in-law is accusing, and the grandmother is protecting others, but their level is not the same.
Qiaoer hugged Ba Jin and hid in the room, crying sadly...
