Seventy Little Heads

Oda Crab takes off its claws, leaving behind a round body.Rinse the shrimp and throw them directly into the fish basket. The head of the small fish will be removed and the intestines will be squeezed out. There will be no sand when cooking.These small things are cumbersome to deal with. Adults are impatient to do these things, and they don’t have anything to eat, but children like them. This is their achievement, but be patient.

Take care of the small fish and shrimps, and the rest are good things. The loach is dead. Turn its belly over, and you can’t raise it to spit sand. The dog egg will take off its head in two or three times, and use a sharp bamboo blade to break open the loach’s belly and wash off the soil. .

"Does this eel need to be skinned?"

Seeing his brother Goudan peeling the snake's skin neatly, Wang Xuan asked while holding the dead eel.

He is not afraid of snakes at all now, they are all meat in his eyes.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

"No need for that. Look at the snake. It's dark and ugly. Does the meat look like pork after the skin is peeled?"

Wang Xuan nodded, they were very similar, they were all pink and delicious.

After packing up and cleaning the tools, the two of them were ready to go back.Wang Xuan shook his wrinkled trousers and put them on quickly, but the trousers were dry anyway.

Goudan... Goudan doesn't need to wear anything. The only trousers on his body have been washed. He took them off from the bushes and put them on the top of the pants with elastic bands. Walk in front of you.

He is used to coming home naked after taking a shower, and Wang Xuan is also used to seeing Brother Goudan's naked ass coming home. They used to take a bath together before.

"Daddy, daddy, we're back."

Li Si was waiting, and when he heard his son came back, he came out to take the tools in their hands, and stretched his neck to see what the sons had harvested.

Li Si shook the bottom of the fish basket and saw that there were no big fish, which is not surprising. Now there are not as many small things as they did when they were young. Over the years, all big fish have been scooped out.

"eat first."

The two children each hold their own bowls and chopsticks. Wang Xuan's small bowl is the most beautiful in the family. This is Li Si and others who went to the county to help Tao Huan come back.

He and his son Goudan used black earthenware bowls, and Wang Xuan happened to be delicate white porcelain with flowers and birds on it, which was pretty.Li Si didn't understand why people in the city didn't want this, it was so pretty.Although he doesn't care about the appearance and material of the rice bowl, as long as there is food in it, it is fine, but the bowl and chopsticks also need to be taken care of.

After lunch, Goudan found a pair of shorts that her mother used to change from his father's worn-out overcoat, and put them on. The elastic band was stretched and loosened, and her belly was stretched out.Why can't he be exposed for a long time? The trousers are made too big, and now he doesn't look too small, just right.

Li Sitao pickled the booty Goudan and his wife brought back with a handful of coarse salt, stirred it evenly, and set it aside for dinner.

When he was doing this, Wang Xuan was watching behind him without asking, but he just remembered in his heart that as long as there were fish in the future, he would kill them, wash them, and then pickle them with salt.

"God, the village chief came to ask, do you want to go to the commune to study?"

Goudan is eight years old and can go to elementary school, but he has to pay for textbooks and so on.There are many children in the village who do not go to school. Most of the families really think they are bothered to send them to school to have their ears clean for two years.

Of course, there are also a lot of people who don’t study, and the family members don’t care, as long as they can farm the land, the village head is also the person in charge. He has to be notified in place.Then it doesn't matter, love goes or not.

What's so good about "not going" to study?

"Oh, if you don't go, then don't go." Li Si also felt that reading was of no use, and it would be more useful to go to the fields with him.

Wang Xuan lowered his head and said nothing, he looked carefully at Li Si and Goudan, he really wanted to study.

Mother is still constantly nagging, telling him to study in the future and become a cultural person, he still remembers it.But he has to work, how can he go to study.

As for Li Si, he didn't ignore Wang Xuan on purpose, but he felt that the child was not yet eight years old, so young.

If a child wants to go to school, he must be eight years old, or use his right hand to reach the top of his head and touch his left ear before he really grows up and can enter school.

"I, I want to study." Wang Xuan wiped his palms on the hem of his clothes, looked at Goudan and said.

"If you want to go, dad, why don't you tell the village chief that Wang Xuan and I will go too." Goudan thought for a while and said, "For the tuition and textbook fees, say borrow from the brigade." Goudan didn't bother him after finishing speaking. With his mouth wide open, he fell onto the kang and tossed his head vigorously on top of it—putting his forehead against the wall.

Goudan and Wang Xuan were very tired today, and fell asleep on the bamboo mat that Li Sigang had woven.

Li Si is still working on his hands, his fingers are rough, and his fingers can no longer be straightened due to overwork, but the finished bamboo weaving products in his hands are still very good, especially the thinly chopped bamboo strips The little baskets weaved are very beautiful, and they don't seem to be produced by these hands.

Goudan wakes up and sees his father still sitting where he is working, he greets Wang Xuan and wanders around the village. Many people are slowing down for a few days after harvesting grain, or like Li Si, cleaning the granary, mending sacks, weaving Bamboo basket.

"Jin Bao, Yin Bao, what are you holding?"

When the twin brothers saw Goudan, they ran away, Goudan called from behind without looking back.

Goudan turned his head and said to Wang Xuan, "What do you mean by them, why are they running, and there is no dog chasing them."

There is no dog chasing, but there is Goudan!

Wang Xuan looked up at the sky, "Why don't we go."

"Let's go, let's go to the grain drying field." There are quite a lot of people there, there are two big trees, and it is also a place where people who enjoy the shade and fart like to stay.

There are also old women drying the last batch of grain in the grain drying field. It rained two days ago, and they took it out to dry again today.

This is an open space that adults and children alike love to come to.

"Goudan, you are here." Some children greeted him quickly when they saw him coming. They all knew that Goudan was very good at playing games. Egg fought many times.But if you are looking for a team, Goudan is still very popular.

"What are you playing?" Goudan raised his chin and asked.

"We are playing a war between the two armies, will you come?"

"Okay, add the two of us."

"You can, but he can't, and he won't." If he had children, he said he did not agree to Wang Xuan's participation.

"Either we play together, or I quit. Also, you have to listen to me."

"Why?"

"That's right."

The monkeys protested eagerly, and Goudan said disdainfully, "Without me, you can beat Erhuzi and them?"

Er Huzi was older than them, and he was also tall. He was the leader of their children.

Children's diplomacy is actually very amazing. You can never guess how they will change in the future. Maybe they will fight after playing, or they may become good buddies after fighting.They are fickle.

No, Goudan and Goudan do not talk to each other on weekdays, because when they were in the team, there were obviously not enough people and their strengths were not equal, so they forgot that they were once hostile, and they were willing to invite Goudan to play together.

The main reason is that many of them admire Goudan very much. The most important point is that Goudan is not afraid of adults. He even dares to hate adults. Just like that, the children are also convinced.

This is someone who repells him and admires him at the same time, and sometimes even envies him. The dog doesn't have to be beaten by his father often!

Goudan happily led his team to abuse each other over and over again, and there was no clean place on each child's body.It's all dirt and sweat.

In fact, there are no clear rules in the children's so-called war games. It's just a piece of wood or an adult dubbing "Doo Duo" in the mouth, and you can play in it all day.As for why, after being "killed", they can continue to run and "shoot|shoot", it depends on what they say in the end.

In the end, Goudan went to take a bath together in the small river ditch in front of the village. By the way, he also had a fight with other children. The little friendship established in the past half a day was broken again. Splash water for fun.

Goudan finished beating people, saw the two children crying and went home to complain to their parents, washed up quickly and ran home with Wang Xuan.

"Brother Goudan, what should their parents do if they come here to make trouble?" Wang Xuan was a little apprehensive. There is no child who is not afraid of adults.

"They dare!" Goudan was a little guilty after all. Don't look at him being very aggressive with others. It's because they don't want to be serious with him as a child, but if they meet particularly unreasonable and protective parents, they will still suffer.

Don't count on his father, he can't talk to others, he still has to rely on himself.

Goudan was also a little afraid that his parents would call at his door, so he waited and waited. He didn't see the parents of the two children coming to the door, so he waited for Li Si to make dinner with peace of mind.

Li Si doesn't have any cooking skills at all. He adds water to the pot, picks and picks, throws small fish and shrimps into it, waits for the water to boil, guesses that the food is cooked, and puts salt in it. That's it.

He also kept the snake and two or three of the bigger loach, and kept marinating them until they would be cooked and eaten tomorrow morning.

Grandpa third, it tastes delicious with the rare meat, even if the fishy smell is strong, it is still meat, even the soup is clean.

"Brother Goudan, the fish soup is delicious." Wang Xuan wiped his mouth, feeling satisfied. He would not eat fish soup at his uncle's house. It would be nice to have a hot meal. The meat that was distributed during the Chinese New Year is not his share. of.

After his mother left, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.But when he came to Goudan's house, he drank egg water twice and fish soup. When the meat is divided in the future, he might be able to eat a piece of oil residue.

"Let's go fishing tomorrow."

"Not going tomorrow, I will take you to a good place tomorrow."

It's not completely dark yet, and the sky is full of red clouds in the west, which is extremely magnificent.Mothers shouted loudly for their children to go home for dinner, and some people drove chickens and ducks into cages.The birds in the woods have also returned to their nests, only the bats are still wandering outside.

Most people have already eaten or are eating dinner, just like Goudan's house, taking advantage of the afterglow.There was no kerosene in Goudan's oil lamps, so if they had dinner late, they could only eat squatting around the burning stove.

Now Goudan and Wang Xuan are sitting on the big rock in front of the door, dangling their feet, watching the afterglow of the setting sun, listening to the liveliness of the village before night, very comfortable.

It wasn't until Li Si came back from taking a bath in the ditch that he took them into the house to sleep.

With the chirping noise of magpies, the village wakes up from the morning fog.It was as if it became lively all at once, from silence to excitement without any excess.

The sound of someone coughing and spitting, the sound of metal clashing when someone washes a pot, the sound of chopping firewood, the cry of a child...etc.

But the sky was not yet bright, but the fire in the stove at home was already blazing, and it was time to cook breakfast for the family.

Li Si dug out a bowl of coarse grains from the rice jar, which was carried by the village chief the other day, and he will try to add as much water as possible to cook for a longer time.

Turning around, he saw his son sleeping on all fours, with the penis under his stomach raised high, Li Si hurriedly called his son to pee.

Ever since I had my son, I don't know how many times my son wets the bed. Although it has decreased in the past two years, he still comes once or twice occasionally.If you drink a lot of water and sleep soundly.

Li Si saw that his son was in a daze, so he simply woke up Wang Xuan. The two sleeping soundly children were woken up by Li Si, and they were led outside the house to pee without opening their eyes.

Wang Xuan woke up, only a dog, drowsily finished urinating, put on his pants and stood in a daze.

Back on the kang, I was able to sleep again immediately.

"Xiao Xuan, you should go to bed too, the meal is ready, uncle will wake you up."

"Uncle, I can't sleep, let me cook for you."

"No need, you're still young."

"Uncle, I can cook."

Seeing that he didn't want to go back to bed, Li Si gave him a broom and asked him to clean the yard.
