Spring Festival crosses, Li He walks several relatives to leave a Xingxiang on the preparation. 春节一过,李和走完几个亲戚就准备动身去一趟新乡。 The fourth child said that „elder brother, you not with me together.” 老四道,“哥,你不跟我一起啦。” „You are treating at home, I turn head to meet you again.” “你在家待着,我回头再来接你。” His Shimoshingou Train station, has not eaten including lunch directly soars Mabel Cheung's native place, he must determine that Mabel Cheung goes home not to have. 他一下新乡火车站,连午饭都没吃就直奔张婉婷的老家,他还是要确定一下张婉婷回家没有。 Yubei Plain this has not snowed in the winter, is actually very dry, the cold wind has blown, his facial skin is hard, has inlaid one shameless. The financial circumstance in entire northern Henan and northern Anhui looks is similar, has gotten rich first except for a small number of few people, most people also just solved the warm and sufficient condition, the reform and opening merely were coastal opening, actually with the mid-west relations were not too big, absolutely did not have east the coast that type to dare to call the livelihood exchanging day boldness and vitality. 豫北平原这个冬季没有下雪,却是很干燥,冷风吹过,他的脸皮都是一阵的紧巴,死皮嵌了一层。整个豫北和皖北的经济状况看着都是差不多,除了少数一部分人是真的先富起来了,大部分人还只是刚刚解决温饱,改革开放仅仅是沿海的开放,其实跟中西部的关系都不是太大,完全没有沿海东部那种敢叫日月换新天的魄力和朝气。 Has been hanging agricultural big province, college entrance examination big province and reputation of output of labor big province. 一直都挂着农业大省、高考大省和劳动力输出大省的名头。 Only can say that little responsibility reveals the sharp sharp corner/horn. 只能说小荷才露尖尖角。 Caught up tightly rushed to the village of Zhang slowly, he took off to admit the woven bag the leather jacket, that matter old lined jacket that only the wear revealed. 紧赶慢赶到了张家的村口,他把皮夹克脱下来放进了编织袋,只穿着露出来的那层旧袄子。 The woven bag back after behind, seven turned entered the village that eight circled, started to shout to shout near the Mabel Cheung family/home, „received the eiderdown and goose down. May have the eiderdown and goose down to sell.” 编织袋背在身后,七拐八绕的进了村子,在张婉婷家附近开始扯着嗓子喊,“收鸭绒、鹅绒嘞。可有鸭绒、鹅绒卖。” He ten points that uses the Funan words to shout go all out. 他用阜南话喊的十分卖力。 „Yeah, old kua, you have a look at this value much money.” Old ladies wear old cotton-wadded jacket, takes little arrange/cloth to raise the pocket to call Li He to come. “哎,老侉,你看看这个值好些钱。”一个老娘们穿着旧棉袄,拿着一个小布提兜招呼李和过来。 Li He has grasped eiderdown toward the cloth pouch, has twisted twisting with the finger, then said, „gives you 50 cents.” 李和朝布兜里抓了一把鸭绒,用手指捻了捻,然后道,“给你五毛。” The say/way that the old ladies disdain, „the day before yesterday others gave me 70 cents not to sell. 50 cents definitely does not sell.” 老娘们不屑的道,“前天人家给我7毛都没卖咧。5毛肯定不卖。” „Too moist, add for tare etc very much, you ask others to sell 70 cents.” Li He gives back to the woman the cloth pouch, then turns around to walk. “太潮了,压称的很,你还是找人家卖7毛吧。”李和把布兜还给妇女,然后转身就要走。 „You old kua comes, you add the 10 cents money to take away.” “你嗷个老侉来,你加一毛钱就拿去。” „Oneself are remaining.” Li He goal to not receive eiderdown goose down. He along the eaves of Zhang around transferred, this is not the old room of Zhang, eight big tile-roofed houses are newly built, the red brick black tile in this is in the village of adobe house especially conspicuous. “自己留着吧。”李和的目的不是为了收鸭绒鹅绒。他沿着张家的屋檐前后转了一圈,这已经不是张家的老屋了,前后八间大瓦房都是新盖的,红砖黑瓦在这都是土房子的村子里格外的显眼。 Was Mabel Cheung comes back really? Cannot cover such big house with the skeletons in the closet of Zhang. Zhang has several jin (0.5 kg) clearly several two not compared with him. 难道真的是张婉婷回来了？凭着张家的老底子是根本盖不上这么大宅子的。张家有几斤几两没有比他更清楚的了。 He goes all out shouted several, receives the velvet, firmly his uncle elder brother incurring. 他又卖力的喊了好几遍,收绒子咧,确把他大舅哥给招了出来。 „Yeah, old kua you come. Has a look at flatter this.” “哎,老侉你来。看看阿家这个。” This is the Li He second time is shouted made old kua, dropped from house to house to receive probably the velvet, stopped braid mostly is this voice, knew is that side Funan, was used to shout that made old kua. 这是李和第二次被人喊做老侉了,大概走街串巷收绒子、收头发辫子的大多都是他这种口音,都知道是阜南那边的,习惯了喊做老侉。 Who is a barbarian, who is old kua is not really good to distinguish, generally shouted that the calling barbarian by south, shouted by north called old kua, but this north-south limits are inaccurate, but some people attempted convenient, ate the wheaten food all shouted old kua, calling barbarian who ate the rice. 谁是蛮子,谁是老侉真不好区别,一般喊靠南的叫蛮子,喊靠北边的叫老侉,可这南北界定并没有那么准确,不过有人图省事,吃面食的一律喊老侉,吃大米的叫蛮子。 The past that Li He smiles has met the woven bag in uncle elder brother hand, this is full bag goose down. 李和笑眯眯的过去接了大舅哥手里的编织袋,这是满满的一袋子鹅绒。 „You said want how much money, the good words, flatter was receiving.” “你讲要多少钱,行的话,阿就收着了。” His uncle elder brother puts on brand new lined jacket, tilts the head said, „your don't Douhou, you do this monkey you to ask my price.” 他大舅哥穿着簇新的袄子,歪头道,“你甭逗猴,你自己干这猴的你来问我价。” „Big brother, my initial price you do not only satisfy are useless, you definitely at heart have a price, you said a price, we in province waste the time.” Li He unknowingly looked at one toward the courtyard of Zhang, only then two child Dunmenkou play the paper scraps of firecrackers. “大哥,我光开价你不满意都是白搭,你肯定心里有个价,你自己说个价,省的咱浪费时间。”李和不经意间朝张家的院子里看了一眼,只有两个孩子蹲门口玩鞭炮的纸屑。 „Walks to seven money Lin.” The uncle elder brother said a base price finally. “给个七块钱拎走。”大舅哥终于说了个底价。 Li He shakes the head to say with a smile, „is unworthy this price, five I can take away.” 李和摇摇头笑着道,“不值这个价,五块我可以拿走。” „You have a look at you, you let the price that said that said that you have also played the mind.” The uncle elder brother to Li He is very unsatisfied. “你看看你这人,你自己让阿说的价,说完了你还玩心眼。”大舅哥对李和很是不满意。 Li He said, „that cannot, where your such rich people be able to have a liking for this two. You have a look at this to slide the eaves, which family/home has your house ostentations.” 李和道,“那不能,你们这样的大户人家哪里能看得上这一块两块了。你看看这一溜檐子,谁家有你们的房子排场。” The uncle elder brother said, „that is, you have also kept eyes open, we do not miss this two, cannot be the fool, you give a solid price to carry.” 大舅哥道,“那是,你也长眼了,咱不差这一块两块,可不能做冤大头,你给个实在价就拎走。” „Big brother, flatter closes right up against this getting by food to eat, heard that some of your family people get rich externally, you are the refreshing person, does not haggle over one two to do to me.” “大哥,阿就靠着这个糊口饭吃呢,听说你们家有人在国外发大财呢,你是爽气人,非给我计较个一块两块干嘛。” Does the uncle elder brother bright, self-satisfied asking, „this you also know at present?” 大舅哥眼前一亮,得意的问道,“这个你也知道啊？” „Hi, who in this nearby areas do not know that your family that big girl fame eldest child.” “嗨,这十里八乡的谁不知道呢,你家那大姑娘名气老大呢。” „That is my younger sister, doesn't know? In Britain, makes is pound, yeah, does not talk clearly with you.” “那是俺妹子,晓得不？在英国,挣得是英镑,哎,跟你也说不清楚。” Li He compensates to say with a smile, „that is, eldest brother uneducated person, has not studied. Your family big girl came back, came back to be the high official, when the time comes your this brothers must profit at someone's expense.” 李和赔笑道,“那是,阿大老粗一个,也没读过书。那你家大姑娘回来了吧,回来了就能做大官,到时候你这兄弟就得沾了光。” „Has not returned, if came back to be good.” “没回呢,要是真回来就好了。” „, That quick.” “哦,那快了吧。” „Who knows.” The uncle elder brother feels right, then does not ask, „you asked these many to do, this eiderdown wanted.” “谁知道呢。”大舅哥感觉不对,转而问道,“你问这么多干嘛,这鸭绒到底要不要了。” „This price I receive not to be inappropriate, loses money ironclad. Big brother, you are remaining.” “这个价格我收上来不合适,铁定亏本。大哥,你自己留着吧。” Li He this time had to say the endless disappointment at heart. 李和此时的心里有说不尽的失望。 At this moment where he only wants to know his wife! 此时此刻他只想知道他老婆在哪里！ „Yeah, you, five five, five take away.” The uncle elder brother shouted to Li He behind. “哎,你这人,五块就五块,五块拿走。”大舅哥冲着李和后面喊。 Li He has not responded him, left the village directly. 李和没搭理他,径直出了村子。 In previous time found in Mabel Cheung's stream bank, he has smoked several cigarettes one after another. Helpless sighing, escaped old lined jacket, has worn the jacket. 在上次找到张婉婷的河堤上,他接连抽了好几根烟。无奈的叹口气,才把旧袄子脱了,重新穿上了夹克。 Returns to the county is around 10 : 00 pm, goes home is impossible, he transferred, biggest a boarding house in the county will open a room, the preparation will go back next morning again. 回到县里已经是晚上十点多钟,回家已经是不可能的了,他转了一圈,在县里最大的一家招待所开了一间房,准备第二天早上再回去。 The bathhouse in hotel has taken a bath first comfortably, has rubbed a back, went downstairs to eat a thing. 在宾馆的澡堂子先是舒舒服服的洗了一个澡,搓了一个背,就下楼吃了点东西。 Two bottles of beer drink up, the belly a little rose, looked that nearby has a public toilet to go. 两瓶啤酒喝完,肚子有点涨了,看旁边有个公厕就要进去。 „Yeah, buddy, unfamiliar.” The restroom entrance two children have one on the left and other on the right blocked him. “哎,哥们,眼生的很啊。”厕所门口两个毛孩子一左一右拦住了他。 „Gets the hell out.” A Li He hand has shoved open one. He is not having the place to calm down, but also some people come to dare to look for his stubble, he looks so is likely good to bully? Ate the green skin to eat the restroom to come, what this group of people mixed was really too disappointing. The common bludger wants to give change spends to pass in and out many places to block the entrance in the person, is catching several courage young students, this two hair, that rope five points. Is the comparison has the eyesight vigor, will not stop up old man old woman and adult, the essential target is a student. “滚蛋。”李和一只手推开了一个。他正没地方消气呢,还有人来敢找他的茬,他看着像那么好欺侮的吗？吃青皮都吃到厕所来了,这帮人混的真是太差劲了。一般的小混混想找零花钱都会在人进出多的地方堵着门口,逮着几个胆子小的学生,这个勒个两毛,那个索个五分。都是比较有眼力劲的,不会去堵老头老太和成人,主要目标就是学生。 Best place is playroom front door, school front door and public toilet front door. 最佳的场所是游戏室大门、学校大门和公厕大门。 Two children see Li He to be so rampant must begin together, Li He has not given them the opportunity, a foot trampled one, „blind, Mahler desert.” 两个毛孩子见李和这么嚣张要一起上手,李和没给他们机会,一脚踹了一个,“瞎眼了啊,马勒戈壁。” Solves the problem in the restrooms, has lit a cigarette conveniently, has not dispelled anger after two hairy children side, has given a palm of the hand to two child. Violates in his hand to calculate that they have bad luck. 在厕所间解决完问题,随手点了根烟,经过两个毛孩身边还不解恨,冲俩毛孩子一人又给了一巴掌。犯他手里算他们倒霉。 Has rested an evening in the hotel, time of going home rested one after another for several days, the working whole body could not mention the strength. 在宾馆睡了一晚,回到家的时候接连睡了好几天,做什么事浑身都提不起力气。 Wang Yulan feels his forehead, „can't fall ill?” 王玉兰手摸着他额头,“不能生病了吧？” „All right.” “没事。” „Your how this. You want to eat any me to do to you, you have not eaten the thing at noon.” “那你怎么这样啊。你想吃啥俺给你做点,你中午都没怎么吃东西。” „Is all right.” Li He was tired of by the old lady, kicked out of the way the quilt on directly the stream bank. “真没事。”李和被老娘烦着了,踢开被子直接上了河堤。 Sun has not fallen, he sits on the sandbank, that wipes according to the afterglow on him, making him feel warmly. He is holding the leg, closes one's eyes, at this moment anything is not willing to think. 太阳还没有落下,他坐在河滩上,那一抹照在余辉他身上,让他感觉暖洋洋的。他抱着腿,闭着眼睛,此刻什么都不愿意想。 „Do you do in this” “你在这干嘛呢” „, All right, under comes out to saunter.” Li He raised the head, is welcoming the dazzling light, saw clearly the person's shadow. “哦,没事,出来转悠下。”李和抬起头,迎着刺眼的光,算是看清了人影。 „You come up, that shallow seas and tidelands is wet, you sit above did not fear that rode the surf the pants.” “你上来吧,那滩涂都是湿的,你坐在上面不怕把裤子弄潮了。” „I can come up.” The hand that refused to extend, Li He stood, made an effort to haunch the body just about to make contact with the soil bank a leg, the plump, the soil bank is dug up to collapse by his hand, his whole person fell on the shallow seas and tidelands. “我自己能上去。”拒绝了伸过来的手,李和站起来,用力撑起身子刚要把一只腿搭上土坡,扑通一声,土坡被他的手扒塌了,他整个人又掉到了滩涂上。 „Haha” what Zhaodi covers the belly to laugh, „this flaunts the fate of hero. You have a look on you.” “哈哈”何招娣捂着肚子大笑,“这就是逞英雄的下场。你看看你身上。” „Yeah.” Li He just threw down in thin mud nest, except for the face, the body did not have a clean place. “哎。”李和刚好摔倒在了稀泥窝子里面,除了脸面,身上没一块干净的地方了。 „Hand extends, I draw you.” “手伸过来吧,我拉你。” „Under.” Bushes of Li He in thin mud that with the scratching hand make an effort, „, will otherwise smear to you.” “等下。”李和用茅草使劲的擦手上的稀泥,“不然等会给你弄脏了。” „All right, hurries, below is cool.” what Zhaodi put out a hand toward Li He. “没事,赶紧的,下面凉。”何招娣朝李和伸出了手。 „Em, the limelight, I am very heavy.” Li He touched a pair of rough hand, was rougher than his hand, this is not a hand of small girl. “恩,注意点,我挺重的。”李和摸到了一双粗糙的手,比他的手还要粗糙,这已经不是一个小姑娘的手了。 Saying with a smile that what Zhaodi cannot stop, „hurries to go home to change the clothes.” 何招娣还是止不住的笑着道,“赶紧回家换衣服吧。” „Had bad luck.” He stroked all of a sudden up the clothes of upper body, revealed the capable body. “倒霉死了。”他把上身的衣服一下子捋光了,露出来了精壮的身子。 „Yeah, you do.” “哎,你作死啊。” „First took a bath says again.” Li He cast off the shoes, took off the pants, only left behind underpants, gripped in the river speedily. In the winter launches unable to have the hesitation, is hesitant is cold, must have the unprecedented courage and boldness. “先洗个澡再说吧。”李和把鞋子甩开,脱了裤子,只留下一条内裤,一猛子扎进了河里。冬季下水不能有犹豫,越是犹豫越是冷,必须有一往无前的勇气和魄力。 „You not awfully.” what Zhaodi simply has not responded, saw Li He to go toward the river center, her flustered looked for own ship. “你不要命了啊。”何招娣根本没有反应过来,见李和往河中央去了,她慌里慌张的去找自己的船了。 „Really is carefree, what Mahler desert is really carefree.” Li He face up is nipping jaw loud shouting in the river center, except for the heel a little temperature, the whole body is shivering that cannot bear, although today not temperature below zero, but the cold wind blows cold. He has as if remembered at age 16, he in big winter carries the wicker basket roaming to arrive at the river opposite mill along with Li Fucheng, at that time was really the temperature below zero. “真是畅快,马勒戈壁的真是畅快。”李和在河中央仰面咬着牙关大声的喊,除了脚跟有点温度,浑身都是忍不住的打冷颤,虽然今天没有零下的温度,可冷风吹的寒啊。他仿佛又想起了16岁那年,他在大冬季的随着李福成扛着箩筐游到河对面的磨坊,那时真的是零下的温度了。 Does not go not to have the means that the man of which family/home such does not come. 不去没办法啊,谁家的男人不是这么过来的。 „Li Laoer, you are really a rash fellow!” what Zhaodi does not know air/Qi anxious, has cried. The diesel engine on ship has made rumble the sound, fled all of a sudden Li He, „hurried, roasted a fire.” “李老二,你真是个二愣子啊！”何招娣不知道气的还是急的,都已经哭了。船上的柴油机发出了轰隆隆的声音,一下子就窜到了李和的跟前,“赶紧上来,烤个火。” Li He is digging up on gunwale with a smile, „worries anything, I wash a meeting again.” 李和笑着扒着船帮子上,“着急个啥,我再洗一会。” A dive gripped far away. 一个猛子又扎出了老远。 „I thought how you wash!” what Zhaodi made a determined effort to arrive in a big way the sand pump on ship, the ship gathered round Li He to turn circle, the winter river surface was quite shallow, the water pollution, where the Li He roaming arrived at all of a sudden, where the ship followed to arrive , the key he did not have the ship to be quick, several times almost hit on the ship. “我看你怎么洗！”何招娣一发狠把船上的抽沙泵开到了最大,船围着李和转圈,冬季的河面比较浅,水一下子浑浊起来,李和游到哪里,船就跟到哪里,关键他没船快,好几次差点撞到船上。 „Your pure heart disturbs.” Attracts sand Beng the suction to be too big, he a little could not come to a stop in the water, but also has drunk several mud. “你纯心捣乱啊。”吸沙泵的吸力太大,他在水里有点站不稳了,还喝了好几口的泥浆。 „You hurry!” “你赶紧上来！” „You closed/pass me to come up! A moment ago white Xi!” Li He traded the tone to scratch under on the face with the hand the muddy mud. Usually what Zhaodi of timid young girl or child who inspires tenderness makes a determined effort so to be fearful! “你关了我就上去！刚才白洗了！”李和换口气用手擦了下脸上浑浊的泥浆。平时小鸟依人的何招娣发起狠来怎么也这么可怕！ When what Zhaodi the diesel oil mechanism/organization, his dive gripped the upper water clear place, washed the body cleanly. 待何招娣把柴油机关了,他一个猛子又扎到了上游水清的地方,才把身子洗干净了。 what Zhaodi paddles the ship, „then can come up.” 何招娣把船划过去,“这下可以上来吧。” Helpless Li He shrinks the upper arm to embark. 李和无奈缩着膀子上了船。
