Li Feng had no choice but to drive behind the bullock cart. Fortunately, the village was not too far away. The second master drank some wine and felt much warmer. The bullock cart drove more smoothly. He handed the wine bottle to the three little guys and said:
He said to drink some wine to warm up. "Grandpa, is it true?" The baby was a little cold. Although the oxcart was not running fast, the dry and cold air in winter brought a bit of wind and a bit of chill.
"Of course, drinking wine will make you feel warm and comfortable." The old man said casually, and the three little guys' eyes lit up. When the second master didn't pay attention, they opened the lid of the wine bottle and each of them took a small sip and carefully tightened the lid. It tasted bitter and spicy.
, the three little guys kept fanning with sad faces. They didn't dare to make a sound for fear that the old lady would notice. The three little guys didn't drink much, but the second grandfather didn't pay attention. He touched the bottle and took a big sip.
“Good wine, comfortable.”.
"Old man, grandpa, you're lying." The baby pouted, making the second master laugh. However, the second master thought the baby had tasted wine, but he didn't know that the three little guys had secretly drank. Don't look at one of them just drinking.
After taking a sip, this is a liquor with a strength of more than 60 degrees. The three little radishes, Bao Bao, Ling Ding, and Qi Qi, soon turned red and warm. The bitter taste in the mouths of the children was gone. This time it was better.
Feeling comfortable, my little head was dizzy little by little, and my hot red little face was so cute. But my eyes were a little blurry. The second master drove the bullock cart directly to Taolin Courtyard. It would be early
Lin Ying, Liu Lan and Li Xin, who were waiting to return from buying a cow, did not expect to drive the bullock cart back directly. They originally thought they were just buying a cow, and the bullock cart would be available in a few days. I didn't expect it to be so fast. Several
The girl's eyes lit up and she ran up to meet her. Li Xiaoman and Manying hurried up. Why did the three children come back in a bullock cart? They were not afraid of freezing. Manying and Li Xiaoman also complained about Li Feng. I really don't know.
Take care of it.
"Mom, there are so many mothers." The baby stretched out his chubby hands in confusion. Li Xiaoman took a look and saw that the baby's face was red. He thought something had happened. He was freezing or had a cold. Li Xiaoman hurried to the car.
The baby touched his head and found that it was very hot. Could it be that he really had a cold. "Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Man Ying saw Qi Qi and Ling Dang, and the two children were as flushed as the baby.
"What's wrong?" The second master was stunned. What happened to the three little ones? They were fine just now. Li Feng parked the car and came over carrying large and small bags.
"What's wrong with the baby?" Li Feng looked at the three children, who were as red as cooked crabs. His eyes fell on the wine bottle almost at the same time as the second master. These children wouldn't drink secretly. "Ling Dang, have you drank?" Li Feng
Some of them couldn't believe it. These kids actually drank. They were really brave.
"Drinking? How is it possible? How can a baby drink at such a young age?" Li Xiaoman looked in disbelief. Man Ying, Lin Ying, Liu Lan, and Li Xin opened their mouths and looked at the children blankly. This can't be true.
You must have been drinking.
"Well, the old lady said that drinking is good when it's cold and it's warm. The baby took a small sip and it didn't taste good at all. The old lady was lying." The baby's big blurry eyes were shining with a hint of water. His little face was so red and so cute.
, but at this moment, a group of people were dumbfounded listening to this girl talking.
Especially the second master, who drove the car by himself and didn't pay much attention to what he said. Who knew that his children would take it seriously? He drank the wine and felt comfortable, but it was different for the children who had never drank before. "The old man didn't lie, Qi
Qi Qi is very warm and comfortable now." Qi Qi shook his head, and Ling Dang nodded. "Well, Ling Dang is also warm, and my head is a little dizzy. There are many brothers and sisters. Niu Niu is much better."
"Well, Daniu Niu has become so much that the baby can't see clearly." The baby touched the edge of the car and wanted to jump off. Li Xiaoman was startled and quickly hugged the baby. Li Feng and Manying quickly held Qi Qi and Ling Dang.
Hold them down. "These children are so naughty. They really should be educated and educated." Li Xiaoman said, but did not slap the baby's butt. The three children were dizzy. Li Feng was a little bit dumbfounded. "Three.
Little drunkard."
"Send the children to sleep for a while first. These little guys have nothing to do. Let's drink some wine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis." The second master shook his head and didn't pay much attention to these children. He was driving the car and didn't pay attention.
After drinking, you should be careful next time. "By the way, the baby is sleepy, go to sleep." Li Feng winked at Li Xiaoman and Man Ying, and waited until the children woke up and understood the drink before talking about it.
.
"Second Master, come in and sit." The oxcart was tied to the roadside. Anyway, I don't have to worry about the space at home. Second Master is so busy today, so he can't neglect it. Li Feng poured tea and greeted Lin Ying, Liu Lan and Li Xinbi.
He was still attentive. "Second Master, will you drive the bullock cart later?"
"What are you doing?" Li Feng was speechless. He didn't know what was going on in these girls' minds. "The second master drove all the way and was very tired." Li Feng didn't wait for the second master to speak and stopped Lin Ying and others from thinking.
I think, really, in the afternoon, Li Feng wanted to learn how to drive the ox cart from the second master, so he had no time.
"Hey, you stingy man, if you take the afternoon train, your cow will not lose a piece of meat." Liu Lan curled her lips and looked at Li Feng with contempt.
"Yes, it will be quite a while before dinner. It's not good for Daniel to get familiar with the environment." Lin Ying was looking forward to it. She didn't enjoy riding in the bullock cart last time. Li Feng was a little confused about how to ride on the bullock cart.
There is such a big addiction. Not only the three children, but the eyes of these three eldest girls are like babies, full of longing.
"Okay, I'll drive the cart in a while. You guys should sit tight. Second Master, you can teach me how to drive this cart smoothly." Li Feng will definitely learn to drive the cart in the future. It just so happens that Second Master is such a good person.
Master and Second Master drank a cup of hot tea and watched with a smile as Li Feng and Lin Ying quarreled with the girls.
"The bullock cart cannot catch up with a few points. Once you master it, you will slowly develop a tacit understanding with the cows. This cow is not bad. It is the best cow I have ever seen. It is smart and much better than the ones from your fourth uncle and fifth uncle's family."
After a while, I will tell you a few points. You need to get some feed and feed it to the cows." The second master talked about some precautions for feeding cows. Some of them were known to Li Feng, and some of them were unclear to Li Feng. Li Feng carefully wrote them down. Cattle feed is the most important.
It was easy, the corn stalks he piled up were quite juicy and sweet. Li Feng used a guillotine to cut a large bamboo basket and carried it on his back. The second master clapped his hands, and Lin Ying, Liu Lan and Li Xin followed closely behind. The old scalper was quite docile.
, usually other people’s cows will kick when strangers come near.
"This cow is so nice. The scalpers didn't let us get close last time. They had such a bad temper." The girls who delivered the corn stalks fell in love with this docile scalper after a while, especially Lin Ying and Liu Lan's first time.
He was so happy as he touched the cow's head. He kept stuffing fresh sticks into the cow's mouth, and Li Feng showed his kindness from time to time.
"Haha, Xiaolan, do you remember the book called "The Man Who Drives the Ox Cart?" Lin Ying scratched the bull's head, and the bull leaned comfortably against Lin Ying's arm.
"Of course, I just liked the morning train after reading that book." Lin Ying and Liu Lan were talking about a book, and Li Feng had some impressions. It was in October, and the man loaded the harvest of the year into the morning train and walked for ten minutes.
This is the story of a man who drives an oxcart to go to the market every day to sell and then buy back the things his family needs for production and living in the coming year. A short period of twenty days condenses a year, and a person's life is condensed into just one year.
It’s like this year. The text in the book is a short poem, which describes the simple, mutual-help, and hard-working lifestyle of the farming society in a calm and relaxed way. The text is simple but moving. The harvest of the whole family’s hard work for a year also brings with them
With a warm body temperature: a basket full of apples and potatoes, gloves knitted by my daughter, shawls knitted by my wife, brooms made of birch strips whittled by my son, tiles split by my father... all presented one by one in a wonderful chain style. It makes people laugh while
While thinking about it, he pictured in his heart a scene of a family that loved each other and was self-sufficient. The man who drove the cattle cart sold everything he brought. Finally, he said goodbye to his beloved cow. He started from scratch and returned to something.
Yu Wu puts regret and nostalgia behind him and moves forward peacefully with time.
He bought an iron kettle, an embroidery needle for his daughter, a pocket knife for his son, and two pounds of holly mints. The former was a necessity for life and production, and the last was a sweetness that was enough to comfort the soul. He only bought two pounds of holly mints a year.
After catching a market, the family starts from scratch and makes various things bit by bit, sawing boards to build new cars... The four seasons cycle, the cycle of life, just like the last sentence of the book: "The geese are quacking beside the barn.
It screamed, and the goose feathers fell to the ground as soft as white clouds." The rhythm is light, the imagery is far-reaching, and the whole story comes to an abrupt end here.
Such a beautiful and simple story, although it is not set in his own country, is equally touching. Li Feng also likes this touching story that is not too long. Those that are repeated day after day, those daily trivialities, those that are almost lost to time
What we forget may contain our truly happy times.
"Yeah, but our place is not any worse than in the story, it's just that some people are a little worse." Li Xin said and glanced at Li Feng, which made Li Feng have a black line. How can Li Can educate this girl? Next time
Look, I'll cover you two.
"That's right, that's right, there's someone who's a lot worse." Liu Lan said and looked at Li Feng deliberately. This girl spoke more directly. Li Feng shook his head, too lazy to argue with the two yellow-haired little girls.
"Second Master, please ignore them, let's get started." Li Feng and Second Master were sitting on one side. Li Feng was close to watch how Second Master drove the car. As for the three little girls, forget it, sit down, sit down and you won't be afraid of the cold.
He sat there for as long as he was willing to. Li Feng drank a few sips of liquor, and the ox cart slowly walked out of the village with the sound of a whip. The road here was still too narrow. It was not suitable for a first-time driver like Li Feng.
I am not familiar with the car, so I don’t want to take risks. Although the scalper is quite docile, who knows if this guy will lose his temper. Before I get familiar with it, I don’t dare to take the risk. In Dalu Mountain, the ox cart is a bit faster and a bit cold.
Yes, the girls had already prepared their down jackets and tightened their hats. They were not afraid as soon as they put on their hats. They talked, laughed, and pointed.
