But the flatter milk, you think that is the cadre in county, can be I says? Does not know the idle talk where the old paternal aunt listens, skill that I think”. “奶,你说的我都知道,儿孙自有儿孙福,你也别多操心了,如果我有能力办,我肯定帮着姑姑办。可阿奶,你想想,那是县里的干部,能是我说得上的吗？不知道老姑从哪里听来的闲言碎语,把我想的那么本事”。 The say/way that the old woman has doubts, „can't you add on really? That may you be a cousin, vast child that child is also the sincere, can add on, later the cousins were also intimate with, has a dependence mutually, that many good”. 老太太疑惑的道,“你真的帮不上？那可你是老表,浩子那孩子也是实诚的,能帮上一把,以后你们老表们也亲近了,互相有个依靠,那才多好”。 Makes on the thoughts of old person, naturally is hopes that kisses/intimate, the descendants are harmonious, being on intimate terms falls in love. 做老上人的心思,当然是希望一家亲,子孙和睦,相亲相爱。 „The flatter milk, I make contribution, is good?”, In the Li He surface must comfort the old woman like this, but his cousin Huang Hao truly long handsome delicate, he has to again sigh with emotion the gene of old Li Family man not to be really good, his paternal aunt long is not bad, result old Li Family several men are the askew clamor, his sincerity wants to spit his paternal grandmother, how to look for Li Fucheng such worthless people! “阿奶,我尽力,行不行？”,李和表面上还是要这样安抚老太太,不过他那老表黄浩确实长的俊朗清秀,他不得不再一次感慨老李家男人的基因果真不行,他姑姑长的就是不差,结果老李家几个男人都是歪歪咧咧的,他真心想吐槽他奶奶,怎么就找了李福成这么个歪瓜裂枣呢！ Was born to afterward his son unmarried girl, son long is also passer-by armor, but unmarried girl long is really attractive, therefore does not have the means that his eccentric unmarried girl many, is digging by the unmarried girl on strips off roof tiles, son that is the son comes under attack every other day! 到后来他的儿子闺女出生,儿子长的也是路人甲,可闺女长的甚是好看,所以没办法,他就偏心闺女多点,由着闺女上挖揭瓦,儿子那是三天两头儿挨打！ Is present Li Pei and Li Ke brother and sister, although is young, but the disparity came out, the Li Pei gruff gruff brain looked like Li Long, but Xiao Li powder toot toot the clever person, Li He liked her many. 就是现在李沛和李柯兄妹俩,虽然都年龄小,可差距出来了啊,李沛憨头憨脑像李隆,可小李柯粉嘟嘟的乖巧可人,李和就喜欢她多一点。 face/color price/value is very important! 颜值很重要啊！ „My clever grandson was sensible, your father with your uncle's these matters you leave alone, you are thinking your paternal aunt and your cousin”, although the old woman does not satisfy yellow Manzhu, but another is her biological unmarried girl and grandchild clamps in inside, how this must take into consideration. “俺乖孙懂事了,你爹跟你姑爷的那些事你别管,你就想着你老姑和你老表”,老太太虽然不满意黄满柱,可另一头是她亲闺女和外孙夹在里面,这怎么都要顾及着一点。 Li He entered room along with the old milk, Li Zhaoyun greeted to Li He, the food that cooks personally, in the maternal home, she does not take itself to work as the guest. 李和随着老奶进了屋,李兆云给李和打了声招呼,亲自烧的饭,在娘家,她也不拿自己当客人。 yellow Manzhu has drawn the strip long long and narrow bench to him, has dispersed a cigarette, says with a smile, „Er He, here sits, your paternal aunt one will burn”. 黄满柱给他拉了条长条凳,散了一根烟,笑着道,“二和,这里坐,你姑一会就烧好了”。 Li Zhaoming, Li Zhaohui whole family also, was short of Li Zhaokun one, Li He always thought strange, says with a smile, „did not use such politely”. 李兆明、李兆辉一家人也在,偏偏少了李兆坤一家,李和总觉得怪怪的,就笑着道,“不用这么客气”。 On the food and wine the table, Li Fucheng opened two bottles of liquor, these are the nice wines that Li He delivers, an ordinary old man person does not hate to drink, is disperses the liquor to cope. 酒菜上桌,李福成开了两瓶酒,这些都是李和送过来的好酒,平常老头子一个人也根本舍不得喝,都是散酒对付着。 Li He said that was also disinclined saying that can he not have two words with the intention of cash expression certainly, may deliver multi- young master Burma to be useless, the good thing to remain, the country dweller lives is this stance, is not one day two days of coming of changing. 李和说多了也懒得说了,能用现金表达的心意他绝无二话,可送多少东西都没用,好东西总要留着的,农村人过日子就是这架势,不是一天两天改的过来的。 Which the good apple and do the rotten apple eat first? 好苹果和烂苹果先吃哪一个？ Living will eat first rottenly. 过日子的都会先吃烂的。 Possibly is the life condition of older generation is this, favors after first painstakingly sweet, sweetly will have been insipid, will have despaired painstakingly, first after being sweet, even if the bitter life is sweet time is at heart undependable. 可能是老一辈的生活态就是这样吧,倾向于先苦后甜,一直甜会很没劲,一直苦会很绝望,先甜后苦的生活即使甜着的时候心里也不塌实。 Qian Zhongshu said in «Besieged city»: The world only has two people. For example one grapes succeed in obtaining, a person selects well first eats, another person best keeps final eating. The first person should be optimistic as usual, because he eats one every time is in the grape of leftovers is best \; The second type should be pessimistic, because he eats one every time is in the grape of leftovers is worst. However in fact works just the opposite, the reason is the second person is hopeful, the first person only then recalls. 钱钟书在《围城》里说:天下只有两种人。譬如一串葡萄到手,一种人挑最好的先吃,另一种人把最好的留在最后吃。照例第一种人应该乐观,因为他每吃一颗都是吃剩的葡萄里最好的\;第二种应该悲观,因为他每吃一颗都是吃剩的葡萄里最坏的。不过事实上适得其反,缘故是第二种人还有希望,第一种人只有回忆。 Li He starts from Li Fucheng first, then two uncles, have bumped one cup in turn, is one's turn yellow Manzhu time, he still in hesitant must present respectfully one cup, has not thought that yellow Manzhu has lifted getting up cup actually first, says with a smile, „Er He, our grandfather and grandchild that is the first time is drinking together, we do one cup”. 李和先从李福成开始,然后两个叔叔,依次碰了一杯,轮到黄满柱的时候,他还在犹豫要不要敬上一杯,没想黄满柱倒是先举了起来杯子,笑着道,“二和,咱爷俩那是第一次在一起喝酒,咱干一杯”。 Li He also takes advantage of opportunity to lift cup, „that I drink up”. 李和也就顺势举起来杯子,“那我喝完”。 He tosses down, this calculated to fully the face. 他一饮而尽,这算给足了面子。 „Eats the vegetable/dish, eats vegetable/dish”, yellow Manzhu not happy has not displayed, according to the custom, his elder lifts the cup, the younger generation at least wants the standing up purpose in coming to think of the meaning, Li He such negligent sitting, rim old tall, making him very uncomfortable. “吃菜,吃菜”,黄满柱的不高兴没有表现出来,按规矩来说,他长辈举杯子,晚辈至少要站起来意思意思的,李和那样大咧咧的坐着,杯口老高,让他很不舒服。 Li He had just clamped a chicken leg, his cousin Huang Hao must clink glasses with him, he should not, but says with a smile, „ makes me stop to rest, I have hit the entry, you hit to go through customs we to drink first again, you cannot profit „. 李和刚夹了一块鸡腿,他老表黄浩要跟他碰杯,他没应,只是笑着道,“让我歇口气吧,我可是打了通关的,你先打个通关走一圈咱俩再喝,你不能占便宜了“。 He did not have good impression to Huang Hao, with what liquor that he bumped, only respected a grandfather, two uncles both have not proposed a toast, he did not believe this cousin not to understand this inside custom, didn't understand the custom possibly to plan to be promoted? 他对黄浩更没好印象了,跟他碰的哪门子酒,只敬了一个姥爷,两个舅舅都没敬酒呢,他可不信这老表不懂这里面的规矩,不懂规矩怎么可能谋划去升职？ Only possibly cannot take a liking to two uncles, had not looked that Li Zhaoming two brothers face was black. 唯一的可能是瞧不上两个舅舅罢了,没看李兆明兄弟俩脸都黑了。 On the liquor table drinks, either goes through customs, according to primary and secondary proposes a toast in turn, either disrespects. Selects the person to propose a toast, shows partiality, queers! 酒桌上喝酒,要么通关走一圈,按顺序主次敬酒,要么一个不敬。挑人敬酒,看人下菜,得罪人啊！ Huang Hao complexion a little non- nature, but stands, was saying to Li Zhaoming two brothers, „uncle uncle, I respects you”. 黄浩脸色有点不自然,不过还是站起来,对着李兆明兄弟俩道,“二舅三舅,我敬你俩”。 Li Zhaoming beckons with the hand saying that „you eat to order food first, slowly drinks, does not worry, your mother vegetable/dish did not have on simultaneous/uniform”. 李兆明摆摆手道,“你先吃点菜,慢慢喝,不着急,你娘菜还没上齐呢”。 He was not very happy, this nephew one cup respects two people, the face may be really big. 他很不高兴,这侄子一杯敬两人,脸可真大。 Huang Hao a little cannot get out, is only sitting down embarrasedly, oneself toss down. 黄浩有点下不来台,只是讪讪的坐下,自己一饮而尽。 „Drinks slowly, anxious anything”, yellow Manzhu understands the son, after all the young arrogance, every year Spring Festival is not willing to return to the countryside, by him, but this time, since requests to consider the person, must come back. “慢慢喝,急啥子”,还是黄满柱了解儿子,毕竟年轻傲气了点,每年的春节都不愿意回乡下,也就由着他了,可这次既然要求告人,是必须回来的。 This food one table of people eat very does not have the taste. 这顿饭一桌人吃的挺没滋味。 Li Zhaoming two brothers had the dinner to go home. 李兆明兄弟俩吃晚饭就回家了。 The weather early, around 5 : 00, Li Fucheng did not look for the draft animal to go, the old woman tidied up the kitchen. 天色不早了,已经五点多了,李福成去找牲口去了,老太太去收拾厨房了。 The remaining Li Zhaoyun whole families, Li Zhaoyun has only made. the tea to Li He, says with a smile, „Er He do not sit the entrance, the entrance has wind” cup 只剩下李兆云一家子了,李兆云给李和泡了杯茶,笑着道,“二和别坐门口,门口有风”。 „Aunt thanked”, Li He stood to meet the cup, Li Zhaoyun they have not cut into the subject, his also really difficult to walk person. “谢老姑”,李和站起来接了杯子,李兆云她们不切入正题,他还还真不好走人。 „Er He, is the old paternal aunt what kind to you?”, Li Zhaoyun opened the mouth first. “二和,老姑对你怎么样？”,李兆云先是开了口。 Li He has gawked actually, old paternal aunt, you have not taken the wrong medicine! 李和倒是愣了,老姑啊,你没吃错药吧！ From infancy to maturity has not had your food, has drunk your water, you said that you are what kind to me! 从小到大没吃过你一口饭,喝过你一口水,你说你对我怎么样！ This is not to make sense completely! 这个完全是无厘头啊！ „Good”. “挺好的”。 He must be able to reach an agreement! 他不能说不好啊！ „That old paternal aunt asked you to help, should you?”. “那老姑求你帮个忙,你应不应？”。 „Old paternal aunt, I listened to the flatter milk saying that she said that in what county can look for the leader?
