crazy girl

On the day of Sui Ping's burial, it snowed all day, and the construction site was unable to work. Many people followed the funeral procession to watch the fun.There are no recreational activities in the village. Usually, the biggest hobby of the villagers is weddings and funerals. Red events depend on marrying a daughter-in-law, and white events depend on burial. Howling, anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance, pointing at his back and covering his mouth and whispering.

Sui Ping is a young daughter-in-law and has no children. The villagers burnt paper money for this young man because of Yang Demin's face. The Yang family has many relatives, but Sui Ping's seniority is low. According to custom, only Yang Jinsheng's peer Only brothers and sisters can go to the funeral. Sui Ping's natal family only had one of her brothers, so the funeral procession seemed deserted. Ding Yinfeng took Cui Xiaofeng's arm and followed the crowd for half a mile until they reached the Yang family's ancestral grave.

Ding Yinfeng said indignantly: "Jin Xiu is really inhumane. She used to always say how good her sister-in-law was to her. Her sister-in-law died, but I never saw her shed a single tear."

"Jin Xiu's heart is hard." Cui Xiaofeng casually perfunctory Ding Yinfeng. She used to love to watch this kind of excitement, but these two days she has been secretly worried about Su Mingge. willing to go out.

"I see, her heart is not only hard, but her heart is like a rock, even if it's not warm."

Listening to Yinfeng's words, Cui Xiaofeng thought of Su Mingge, her heart was like a stone, after warming herself these days, this stone still scratched her.

The encoffining ceremony was over, and the funeral procession went home one after another. Cui Xiaofeng and Yinfeng walked side by side. She kicked a stone while walking, but unfortunately, the stone fell on Yang Jinsheng's lap.

"Xiaofeng!" On Yang Jinsheng's face, the pain of losing his wife could not be seen at all. His face was ruddy, and he even looked better than when he was in the hospital a few days ago. "You and Yinfeng haven't eaten yet, go to my house to eat together." Bar."

"No, no, Brother Jin Sheng, your family is doing business today, and it's not easy for Yinfeng and I to make trouble."

"What's the matter, big pot of rice, multiple people and multiple chopsticks, it doesn't make any trouble at all."

Yinfeng tugged at Xiaofeng's sleeves, "Let's go, Xiaofeng, I won't be working today anyway, so I'll save myself a meal by eating."

Cui Xiaofeng was powerless to argue, and let Yinfeng drag her to Yang Jinsheng's house. Jinxiu had already taken off the filial cloth on her body, washed her face, and wiped cream in front of the mirror. I went to school in the city for a few years, and learned how to make up and dress up with the girls in the city. She didn't have to work in the fields, her skin was a few shades paler than that of the villagers, and the clothes she wore were fashionable. Those who didn't know who she was thought she was The jewel in the palm of the cadre family.

No wonder Yinfeng wants to come to Yang Jinsheng's house for dinner. The village head's family is very grand, and the funeral is more decent than other houses. When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they will serve steamed buns with boiled cabbage. The village head's big pot dishes are cabbage stewed vermicelli. If you're lucky, you can scoop up slices of meat, and the steamed buns are corn flour steamed buns, not hard-to-eat sorghum steamed buns.

Everyone took a bowl to the stove and lined up to get the meal. In these days, food is in short supply after all. According to the usual practice, each person has a bowl of food and two buns.Yinfeng's brother was helping on the stove. Seeing his sister, he scooped up a bowl of stewed vegetables for her, and he scooped up the pork slices from the bottom of the pot and put them in the sister's bowl.

Xiaofeng and Yinfeng sat down in the corner, and Yinfeng exchanged her own bowl with Xiaofeng's.

Xiaofeng was puzzled: "What are you doing? Aren't they all the same?"

"What does it matter if they are all the same?"

Yinfeng took a sip of soup from Xiaofeng's bowl, "I've already drank it, and I can't change it back."

Xiaofeng ate a few mouthfuls, and he understood why Yinfeng switched with her. Yinfeng loved her since she was a child. When she was young, her family was poor, and she couldn’t eat enough for a few days. Yinfeng’s family is better than her, but the family has a large population She didn't have enough food, so she often saved her share of rations for Xiaofeng to eat. At that time, Xiaofeng liked to see Yinfeng very much, because whenever he saw Yinfeng, he would have something to eat.

"Yinfeng, you should treat me better."

"There are so many words, eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

Xiaofeng's mood improved under the double care of Yinfeng and the food. She and Yinfeng looked at each other and smiled, grabbed the steamed bun and took a hard bite.Xiaofeng has a big appetite, and Yinfeng shared one of Yinfeng's steamed buns with her. The two girls had a great time eating, and didn't care about the surprised eyes of others. Other girls might feel embarrassed in this situation, so they are embarrassed to let go Cui Xiaofeng doesn't have such scruples about eating, as long as she has enough to eat, she can eat it no matter how many people stare at her.

Cui Xiaofeng ate three corn buns and a bowl of stewed cabbage vermicelli in one go, and belched contentedly, this was the first time she had eaten this month, she rubbed her stomach, and Yinfeng and Yinfeng were about to leave.

Passing by the kitchen, Yinfeng's brother winked at her. Yinfeng noticed that there were four big snow-white steamed buns on the altar table. At this moment, the guests were eating in the main room, and there was no one else in the yard. Yinfeng slipped to the altar table, With quick eyes and hands, he put the steamed buns into his arms, and ran away pulling Xiaofeng.

Just after being discharged from the hospital, she bumped into Yang Jinxiu who was coming back. Seeing the two people in a panic, she joked in a long voice: "Hey, where is this distinguished guest from? Our Yang family is doing business, and one of you named Ding Why is the surname Cui joining in the fun?"

"Who cares to come to your house to have fun? Your brother invited us here. Get out of the way. Good dogs don't get in the way." Yinfeng is notoriously sharp-mouthed and likes to bicker with Jinxiu the most.

When Jinxiu saw the steamed buns in Yinfeng's hands, she understood, "I see, you are here to steal, Mom, someone stole our steamed buns..." Yang Jinxiu shouted at the top of her voice, and Yinfeng jumped up to cover her in fright. "What are you shouting for? Call me again and tear your mouth apart!"

When Jinxiu was a child, she was unruly and self-willed, and often fought with Xiaofeng. Aunt Cui did not dare to offend the village chief, and always let Xiaofeng give way to Jinxiu.Yinfeng was not afraid of her. Once after school, she blocked Jinxiu on the road, dragged her into the sorghum field and beat her up hard. Since then, Jinxiu has never been beaten again.

"Xiu'er, what are you yelling outside the door?" Jin Xiuniang's voice was getting closer, and Yinfeng signaled her with her eyes, "Mother, it's nothing, I'm yelling and playing, you go back and entertain the guests!"

"You child, there is something going on at home today, and you are making trouble for me." Jin Xiuniang turned and went back to the main room, Yinfeng was relieved, she still kept covering Jinxiu's mouth, as if she was holding Jinxiu in her arms , "Yang Jinxiu, I warn you, if you messed with your mother just now, do you remember the sorghum field in front of the elementary school, believe it or not, I will beat you up again?"

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

"That's about the same!" Yinfeng let go of her with satisfaction, "Let's go, Xiaofeng, let's go home."

Yinfeng wanted to give all four steamed buns to Xiaofeng, but Xiaofeng refused to ask for anything. The two argued for a while, and Yinfeng finally agreed to accept one. Xiaofeng hugged the three big steamed buns and went home happily. Walk.I met Sun Xinfang at the entrance of the alley, and seemed to be waiting for her specially.

"Xiaofeng, you're back, I'm almost freezing to death."

"Sister Xinfang, what do you want from me?"

"I just went to your house to look for you. Your mother said that you were not at home. This is the handkerchief money you gave Mingge that day. No matter how expensive the handkerchief is, it doesn't cost a dollar. Mingge said that there is no need to pay for the handkerchief. Let me take it Return the money to you."

"Oh." Cui Xiaofeng took the money. Could it be that Sister Mingge didn't want to talk to her, and wanted someone else to pass on the message.

"Xiaofeng, where have you been? This steamed bun is so white." Sun Xinfang stared at the steamed bun with longing in his eyes.

"I almost forgot, since Sister Mingge won't let me pay for the handkerchief, I'll pay her for the steamed buns. It's also my kindness."

"That's so embarrassing!" Sun Xinfang took the steamed buns, "I want one... two are fine... no, no, I can't have three... well, then I won't be polite."

The snow didn't stop until midnight that day, the whole world was white, but Cui Xiaofeng's heart was dark.

The dead in rural areas have to go through the first seven, two sevens, three sevens until July seven, and a hundred days, one year, three years and other big days. The eighth day after Sui Ping's death, which is the second day of the first seven, Yang Jinsheng was dressed in crisp new clothes, and walked up to Cui Xiaofeng's house with a happy face. Behind him was Wang Dalaba. Ding Dalaba's original name was Wang Ermei, and she was a well-known matchmaker in the village. Yes, the purpose of Yang Jinsheng's trip is to propose marriage to Xiaofeng.

When Aunt Cui saw Wang Dalou, she already understood it, so Yang Jinsheng handed over ten catties of white flour and two catties of pork to Aunt Cui, "Ma'am, there is nothing good in this supply and marketing cooperative, so don't dislike this gift. "

Wang Dalou also interjected, "Xiao Fengniang, this is the child's wish, please accept it!"

The aroma of pork and white noodles made Aunt Cui dizzy. She took the gift in a daze and asked the two guests to sit down.

"Xiao Fengniang, the folks in our village know everything, and I won't go around in circles today. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Jin Sheng's child has fallen in love with your family Xiao Feng. You also know that Jin Sheng's wife was buried a few days ago. The baby was unlucky, she fell down from the roof and died. Ordinarily, Jin Sheng shouldn't come to your house so soon. Xiaofeng is getting old, so it's time to find her husband's house. Jin Sheng is afraid of being snatched by others. Urging me to settle this matter quickly, don't be offended if I lose my manners.

Besides, they young people don't have to guard them like we do. They have to remarry.Niang Xiaofeng, I don't need to say what the conditions of Jinsheng's family are. How many girls' parents asked me to match them up, but Jinsheng really likes Xiaofeng, and Xiaofeng will never suffer if he follows him. Hundred hearts.Aunt Cui, I still have something that doesn’t please you, don’t take it to heart, Xiaofeng has no brother or brother, and later married Jinsheng, no one in the village will dare to bully your mother and daughter, do you think this is the reason? Son? "

As expected, Wang Dalaba has been a matchmaker for half his life, and he can't leak his words. Aunt Cui is also a shrewd person. In front of her, she didn't know how to answer for a while.Wang Dalaba's words make sense. Yang Jinsheng is the son of the village and a high school graduate. The only flaw is that he is missing one eye. The village chief and his wife are young and strong, and their family is well-off. Xiaofeng followed him Naturally, she couldn't suffer much, and Aunt Cui always wanted Xiaofeng to find a son-in-law. This Yang Jinsheng was from the same village, and even if he didn't come to visit, the distance between the two families was only a few steps away, which was similar to that of the son-in-law.

Aunt Cui nodded, "Sister Ermei, this is not a trivial matter, and I can't make decisions on my own. How about this, I will discuss it with Xiaofeng when she comes back, and I will call you back in two days."

"Okay, Xiaofeng is a smart girl, she can figure it out, she will definitely not refuse such a good marriage."

Yang Jinsheng also got up to say goodbye, "Mother, then we will wait for your good news."
