Ergouzi's name is Sun Ergou. This Ergou is also a nickname. When we were naming him, the old people said that a nickname would make a living.
No one in the Sun family is educated, so when Ergouzi reaches school age, the family simply adds a surname in front of their nickname.
Ergouzi has been hunting for birds since he was a child, and he is so excited about all the bird's nests within a hundred miles.
This is considered safe. Those who climb walls and houses can go to the mountains to catch rabbits by themselves.
Because of these things, Ergou was frequently beaten. When he was a child, Ergou's parents' fists had some silent properties. When he reached junior high school, he would not go home at all when he made a mistake. Even if he was found, he would not be able to catch him. Of course, these are all the things I did when I was naughty. I can only say that I have nothing to do.
"Yuzi, screw you, uncle, can you have a nice chat and blow up some cow dung?"
"As an uncle, can you make some good friends?"
Take a look, I’m in a hurry.
I didn’t expect Ergouzi to be shy. It’s the first time I’ve seen him.
"Oh, I was just joking, do you really want to take them there? Hahahahaha."
"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore, why are you the only one bringing the child here, where is my sister-in-law?"
Ergouzi was not angry either. He knew that Zhang Yu was making fun of him. Who allowed him to have so much dark history?
"Your sister-in-law is cleaning at home. These two children have to follow me to buy things."
"You said you came to help me carry something, haha."
A man who has a child can see happiness from his appearance.
Everything you say is doting on your children.
"Brother Dog, let's call the three boys tonight and let's get together?"
Zhang Yu has been thinking about this matter for several days. Since coming back, he has been busy with this and that.
I have always put aside the matter of drinking. Now that the New Year is over and there is nothing to clean up at home, I just want to take this opportunity to get together.
Ergouzi has no reason to refuse this proposal. The buddies in the village were still talking about it the day before yesterday.
He said that Zhang Yu was busy day after day. He had been back for several days and had not found any of his brothers to play with.
Even though he said so, he couldn't bear to disturb Zhang Yu. After all, Zhang Yu hadn't returned to the village for the New Year in several years. He must be homesick and everyone can understand.
"Okay, since you came back, Sanzi has been talking about you. Seeing that you are very busy every day, he didn't look for you."
"It would be great if you could get together when you have time."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he knew that everyone missed him.
"Okay, it's settled then. Let's see if you can come to my house to eat tonight."
Zhang Yu thought so. He proposed this matter by himself. By the way, he showed off his craftsmanship and cooked some good dishes for his brothers to try.
Ergouzi disagrees with this idea. It’s really embarrassing to go to Zhang Yu’s house. Uncle Zhang and the eldest brother of the Zhang family are both there. It would be quite restrictive to call them together, but it would be impolite not to call them together.
The most important thing is that there is a female devil in Zhang Yu's family. All the brothers are afraid of her, and they have all been dealt with by her.
I originally thought that I wouldn't be afraid as I got older, but this matter has a shadow. The word "fear" has penetrated deeply into the soul. Looking at the third sister, I feel instinctively afraid.
"Yuzi, I won't go to your house. We can get together at Sanzi's house."
"It just so happens that this year's third son has just been divided into two houses. Now he lives in a courtyard of his own. It's spacious when we go to his place to eat."
"Ah? The third son is married?"
Zhang Yu asked with a surprised look on his face.
In the village, dividing a family means getting married and living alone with the elderly.
"It's settled, it was tied in August this year."
"His wife is still a classmate of you and Sanzi, your junior high school classmate."
"Who is it? What's your name?"
Zhang Yu asked curiously.
This is a subconscious inquiry. After all, it has been several years since graduation, and there are many classmates who are not doing well. Even when they meet, they can't name them, let alone guess them by their names.
"Who is it? You already know it when we meet you tonight. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Are Ergouzi talking? Looking at Zhang Ma, she is moving things out from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"You go and help Aunt Zhang move the New Year's goods first. I'll go to your house to find you in the afternoon, and we'll go together."
"Brother Dog, you tell the brothers that those who are going to eat will be served one dish per family, and I will take care of the rest. Leave the wine to me as well."
It's not easy for everyone these days. It's not ridiculous for everyone to go to Sanzi's house and eat from Sanzi.
After all, the third son has just gotten married and the family has just separated, so his life is probably not very comfortable.
That’s why we came up with this idea, one dish for each family, which would neither trouble the three sons too much nor make everyone worry too much.
……
At noon, after eating, Zhang Yu went back to the room and slept for more than half an hour.
I got up, picked up my backpack, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought three bottles of Daqu.
When he got home, Zhang Yu picked a few more pork ribs, soaked them in water, took a cabbage from the cellar, cut another pound of meat, and then potatoes, radishes, onions, ginger, and garlic.
"Brother, what are you doing with these things?"
The tinkling sound made the third sister quarrel.
"I made an agreement with Gouzi and the others today that we will gather at Sanzi's house tonight. I will cook a few dishes and bring them over to eat."
Zhang Yu was busy with his work while replying to the third sister.
"Who is going there tonight?"
"Whoever goes, let's go if we have a good time, who else can go."
"I, Gouzi, the third son, the third son's wife, I guess the second brother Li will also go, as well as Qiangzi, and the little one."
These were the best things to play when I was a child. At that time, the second brother Li was the boss, and all kinds of group activities were organized by the second brother.
The second brother Li is actually the same age as the third sister, but he is tall and has a flexible mind. He can think of all kinds of ways to play, and everyone admires him.
When the third sister heard that there were quite a few people there and they were all acquaintances, she got some ideas.
"Can I go?"
"Sister, you'd better not go. Once you go, my brothers will be frightened."
If the third sister had gone there, there would probably be very few people at the table who would dare to use chopsticks, and the atmosphere would be very depressing.
"Am I that terrible? As for treating me like this, I have no choice but to do it."
Okay, just go ahead. Zhang Yu didn’t even listen to this. Did you have to do it out of necessity? Did you act wantonly?
There are several women who can stand on the table and fight with men. If Zhang Yu hadn't been protected by his second sister, he would have been beaten every day.
Looking at Zhang Yu's eyes, the third sister was speechless for a moment. The things she did were indeed a bit excessive.
"Okay, third sister, don't you just want to eat the vegetables I cooked? I'll cook more in a while and keep what you eat at home, okay?"
"Hehehe, this is my good brother. You deserve to be loved by your sister so much."
Then he kissed Zhang Yu on the face.
Zhang Yu was disgusted and wiped his face with his sleeve, not wanting to wipe it with his hands because he was afraid of getting his hands dirty.
The third sister didn't care about Zhang Yu's dislike. Zhang Yu had disliked her for kissing him since she was a child, so she was used to this scene.
"Third sister, go ahead and help me light the fire and boil two ladles of water."
Since Zhang Yu came back, these two sisters have done nothing but make Zhang Yu angry.
After the fire was lit, Zhang Yu quickly cut the pork ribs, put them in the pot under cold water, added a few auxiliary ingredients, covered the pot, and continued working on other side dishes.
With the help of the third sister, the progress has been much faster. Zhang Yu only needs to cut it and leave the washing to the third sister.
