After inquiring about the blind date, Shazhu put his hands in his sleeves and wanted to go home. When he heard the women in the courtyard talking about the Li family, he knew that the information about the child had been leaked by someone.
"I said, you guys, hey, don't criticize others in small talk, just keep your mouth shut."
This silly Zhu is an upright person, and he won't tolerate a few people talking behind people's backs here, especially Li Xuewu, who he has a good friendship with.
"Mind your own business."
Jia Zhang, who was angry that Sha Zhu didn't come back for the blind date, immediately responded to Sha Zhu's words.
"That's right, Silly Zhu, you don't want to curry favor with Li Xuewu, do you?"
"It's true, Zhuzi, but you have to think about it, don't you know who Li Xuewu was before?"
"That's right, if he comes back with a child now, his job will be over sooner or later, and he is still a cadre."
"You damn cadres can't even control their belts. If anyone reports him, Li Xuewu will be finished."
As soon as these words were said, the ladies were stunned for a moment and looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang strangely.
It's a "jianghu" to pay attention to people behind the scenes, but reporting is beyond the capabilities of these ladies.
Silly Zhu didn't care about these girls, and said with a smirk, "If you're not afraid of death, just say it, just gossiping about your wife here. Think about it, Li Xuewu pulled down more than a dozen people in the steel rolling mill as soon as he got to work and sent them to the west."
The suburbs hit a target”
This sentence really frightened these girls. These days, target shooting was done by big trucks without even wearing hoods. It was a disaster when they went to the execution ground in the western suburbs. These people had all gone to see the excitement on the street.
Seeing that everyone had listened, Shazhu put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile, "Report, report, do you know which way the door for reporting opens? If Li Xuewu is not prepared, can he take the child back?"
Silly Zhu said with a serious face, "Not to mention the punishment for your false accusation, just talking about Li Xuewu's ruthlessness, it is more than enough to kill you men for fear of dirtying your hands. When the time comes, he will make you kneel down and beg."
Do you believe him?"
Looking at the coquettish expressions of the ladies, Silly Zhu scolded again, "What? You don't like the family's good life? You want to learn how to be a widow like Aunt Jia? I think it will work~"
"Hey, there's still water boiling in my pot. I have to go back."
"Me too, my clothes are still soaking in the basin."
Thinking of what their men had said about Li Xuewu's ruthlessness, the ladies all went away with pale faces.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Silly Zhu said to Jia Zhang who wanted to scold him, "Aunt Jia, think about that thing on your forehead last time. Do you think he will hug you directly if you fall into Li Xuewu's hands again?"
Huo'er? Don't forget that you have eucalyptus at the rolling mill."
"How dare he! He has done something dirty and is he afraid of others telling him? Just wait, I will sue him for violating the moral code sooner or later."
Faced with Si Zhu's sarcasm, Mrs. Jia Zhang sternly spoke with anger.
Silly Zhu was not used to him either. He grinned and said fiercely, "Go, go, go now. If you don't want to go far, I will borrow a car to take you there. Do you need me to show you the way and tell you where to go to complain?"
.
Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at Silly Zhu who was speaking rudely.
"Bah! You are not a good person either. Do you think that I will die early so that you can live in my house? Just give up on your ambition!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang took a sip, then trotted home after speaking.
Silly Zhu smiled evilly at Mrs. Jia Zhang and went back to his room humming a little tune.
In the front yard, Li Xuewu was helping his grandma assemble the bicycle. Grandma had already made the bicycle hanging from the beam.
As the old saying goes, there are three treasures in the Northeast: ginseng, mink, and urala grass.
Everyone knows that ginseng is a valuable Chinese medicinal material.
We are all familiar with mink fur. The coats worn by nobles are all made of mink fur. Of course, there are also sable, sable and other high and low grades. There is no such thing here.
explain.
Wula grass is a kind of herbaceous plant native to the Northeast. In the old days, Northeastern people used leather to sew and beat the soft wadding inside to make cold-proof shoes. It was a favorite "straw shoe" for the poor people in the north.
"Ula" means leather boots in Manchu. They are a kind of "local leather shoes" worn by Northeastern people in winter.
There are three treasures and three monsters in the Northeast. Outside the window paper lake, the eldest girl is holding a big pipe in her mouth, feeding the children and hanging them up.
The first strange thing is that the paper lake is outside the window. Because the Northeast is cold, so in winter, paper strips are used to seal the gaps in the windows. This is not strange, but the strange thing is that the lake is outside.
That's because the winter in the Northeast lasts for 4 or 5 months, and the lake in the house is easily wetted by water vapor, and is easily damaged by the wind through the cracks in the windows.
So in the early years, every home in the Northeast that used wooden window frames was like this.
The second strange thing is that the eldest girl has a big pipe in her mouth. In the past, it was a custom for Northeastern people to smoke. Everyone smoked. Mrs. Li smoked when she was young. .??.
Young girls from the Northeast grew up living with the elderly in their families. In the winter, there is nothing much to do except play around with cats in the house. Smoking second-hand smoke is worse than smoking first-hand smoke, so the girls all hold a big pipe in their mouths.
pot.
The third weirdo said that the cradle that the Northeastern people put their children to sleep in is different from other places. The cradle is hung with ropes, usually hanging from the beams. In this way, when the mother is doing work in the house,
As long as you take the time to push it occasionally, the cradle can rock by itself for a long time.
This custom stems from the fact that the earliest residents of the Northeast were Manchus and Mongols. These two ethnic groups were nomadic peoples on horseback. Therefore, when people were running away from the water, they often put their children in cradle and hung them in the cradle.
Migration on horseback.
Now the rickshaw that my grandma made for my child is hung from the rafters.
Some bicycles are made of rattan, but rattan is not produced in the north, so my grandmother used wooden beams to buckle slots and thin wooden boards to make a bicycle with two ends turned up.
Oval shape, with two symmetrical small ears on each side for tying ropes.
Li Xuewu took off his cotton shoes and got on the kang. He threaded two ropes on the beam and tied them to the four ears of the carriage.
"Come down a little further"
The eldest grandma stood on the ground and gave instructions, while the old lady held the child and sat on the edge for reference.
The height of the cart should be at the chest level of an adult sitting on the kang, so that the temperature of the kang can warm the child in the cart, and the temperature of the kang will not cause the child to get angry.
Li Xuewu followed his grandma's instructions and lowered the height of the rope and adjusted it to the appropriate position.
"I hit, come down"
Seeing that his grandma said it was suitable, Li Xuewu tied the rope tightly, squatted down and tried the strength of the rope, and found that it was suitable.
There was a thick layer of hay at the bottom of the carriage. Liu Yin spread the newly made quilt on the hay and placed a small pillow.
"Come, let's try the rickshaw made by my great-grandpa, shall we?" The old lady put the child in the rickshaw with both hands.
Li Xuewu pushed gently, and the car began to swing from side to side. Seeing such a fun thing for the first time, the child grabbed his little hand and kept looking at the people surrounding him.
"Oh, it's so beautiful. It's so beautiful to ride in a leisurely car."
The old lady was teasing the children in the car while pushing her car.
"I blame you for being naughty when you were a child. The one we used to have was made of rattan. Your grandfather bought it from the market. It became strong after use."
As Liu Yin spoke, she slapped Li Xuewu and said, "It would be better for you to tie the rope to You's car in the yard and let your brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng drag you to play. There is no room for two on that big brick floor."
It's so bad, otherwise my eldest granddaughter would still be able to use it."
Li Xuewu argued with a playful smile, "If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. Look, my daughter will have to use a new ute. Look at how good the ute is made by my great-grandpa."
