The next morning, it started pouring rain.
Shitou was sitting alone in the living room - flipping through the newspaper and saying: I haven't read a newspaper in a long time.
I don’t know! Is there anything on there that interests me.
"It's broken." He bent down to pick up the newspaper.
He patted a corner of the newspaper and muttered: It's a good thing it wasn't burned.
He reopened the newspaper and read carefully: The "Zunyi Conference" was held in Guizhou, the first meeting of the Communist Party of China...
"Why didn't Dad tell me about this?" He thought for a while and whispered: Come to think of it, my eldest brother is an officer of the Kuomintang, and I am also a member of the Kuomintang. How could he talk to me! What if I join the army...
"No matter, I'll take another look." Shitou took the newspaper and read it word for word.
"Dong dong dong"
He walked to the door and shouted: Who is it!
"Brother, it's me."
He opened the door and shouted: Brother Xu, you are back, come in quickly.
Xu Banxian got into the house and said: Brother, it's raining hard today.
"Brother Xu, put your umbrella on that bucket." Shitou warned:
Xu Banxian touched his arm and called out: My clothes are also wet.
"Brother Xu, go inside and use the fire to dry your clothes." Shitou said:
Xu Banxian walked forward and asked: Brother, hasn't Yuan'er gone home these days?
Shitou replied: It seems so! It's been raining these days.
Xu Banxian took off his coat and said: Brother, where is your bamboo cage?
"You are using the bamboo cage to dry your clothes! You can't use the bamboo cage to dry your clothes. We can just use it to dry our clothes." Shitou replied:
Xu Banxian argued: It’s tiring to pull clothes to dry.
"How tiring can it be to pull clothes off?" Shitou replied:
Shi Shi tore open his wet clothes and said: Brother Xu, come over a little bit.
Xu Banxian said: Brother, hold the clothes for me while I go over to have a cup of tea and then dry the clothes.
"Brother Xu, be careful. The tea is very hot. I just made the tea." Shitou warned:
Xu Banxian poured tea and called out: Brother, is Brother Fu back?
Shitou responded: "He won't come this year. I heard Fu Zi say that she will leave in two days."
"So! They are celebrating the New Year there." Xu Banxian continued:
"Brother Xu is right!" Shitou replied:
Xu Banxian shouted: Brother, turn the clothes over and dry them.
"Brother Xu, what have you gained in the past two days?" Shitou asked:
Xu Banxian replied: The harvest in these two days is quite good.
"Brother Xu, there is something I'd like to tell you. Officer Wang said that he wants to install a phone in my home..." Shitou said:
Xu Banxian smiled and said: This is a good thing! My eldest brother has a phone at home, which makes it more convenient...
"I don't think so! First, there is nothing important in my house! He installed a telephone in my house, which is a bit redundant. Second, if I install a telephone in my house, it will definitely trouble Officer Wang again. I don't want to owe him any more favors. ." Shitou interrupted:
Xu Banxian then said: Brother, what you said is wrong! If you refuse this, you can cut ties with Officer Wang! The relationship between you is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words or one or two things.
Of course, you have nothing shady to do!
"Brother Xu, what are you talking about? I can't explain my relationship with Officer Wang clearly. He always makes me feel guilty..." Shitou replied:
Xu Banxian said: Brother, you don’t need to feel guilty.
In my opinion, Officer Wang is willing to work for you...
"But I feel sorry for myself. He has helped me too much." Shitou replied:
Xu Banxian advised: Brother, think about it from another angle, why he did this!
I firmly believe that he will not be so kind to you for no reason...
"This!" Shitou said blankly:
Xu Banxian smiled and said: You must have guessed it!
Shitou replied: I troubled him again and again, and I felt unhappy.
Xu Banxian said: Brother, what he helps you are all financial things!
"Not entirely, there are some..." Shitou responded:
Xu Banxian argued: That's how people are. Those who can help you will naturally help. Those who can't help, it's useless no matter how much you ask!
Shitou said: "I agree with this sentence."
"Brother Xu, take off your pants." Shitou continued:
Xu Banxian then said: Brother, isn’t this bad?
"Take off your pants - that's it." Shitou responded:
Xu Banxian put the tea on the stool and slowly took off his pants.
"What are you doing!" Min'er stood in the corner, covering her eyes with her hands, and yelled:
Shitou said: Brother Xu's clothes are wet and we are drying them.
Min'er stepped forward and ran straight to the kitchen.
Xu Banxian called out: Brother, look!
"It's okay, just put your clothes on." Shitou responded:
Xu Banxian took on his clothes and said: Brother, you were reading the newspaper just now!
Shitou pulled open his pants and replied: Yes!
"What's new in it?" Xu Banxian asked:
Shitou said: There is an article on it that says: The Communist Party held a conference in Guizhou...
"This message - I know! I heard it at the end of last year. It said what line the Communist Party has drawn up!" Xu Banxian interrupted:
Shitou called out: Brother Xu, what do you think of the Communist Party!
Xu Banxian glanced at the stone and said: Brother, please tell me your opinion first.
Shitou smiled and said: Brother Xu, don't take care of me.
I understand that the Kuomintang is in a mess.
In particular, when it comes to treating ordinary people, it is even worse than the Communist Party.
"Brother, since you have said so much, I have nothing to hide! I dare to conclude that the Kuomintang will be replaced by the Communist Party sooner or later." Xu Banxian continued:
Shitou stared at Xu Banxian and said: Are you sure?
"Brother, forgive me! Brother, forgive me! I'm talking nonsense, I..." Xu Banxian bowed:
Shitou shouted: Brother Xu, what are you guilty of!
"I shouldn't talk nonsense, I shouldn't make assumptions, long live the Kuomintang, long live the Kuomintang." Xu Banxian responded:
"I don't want what you said to come true! I know that you must have thought carefully before saying this, and it is not just a simple nonsense. However, I have already received the favor of the country, so how can I think about it again! Besides, I walk and sit upright, how can I do it just for two words?"
"Brother is right."
Shitou said: What I can do at this moment is to preserve a moment of peace in Fengxian Town.
"Brother, why did you say a moment! Why didn't you say forever!" Xu Banxian argued:
"Because no one can predict what will happen in the future, neither you nor me!" Shitou replied:
"Ms. sir, what are you talking about! You are talking so enthusiastically!" Yuan'er came over holding a stack of bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Banxian turned his head and said: Yuan'er, walk slower, you are pregnant!
Shitou put down his pants and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, brother Xu's pants are wet. Come over and help him dry them. I'll go inside to talk to Sister Erfeng about something."
"Brother." Xu Banxian called:
Shitou kept walking forward and said jokingly: Brother Xu, please don't burn your pants.
Yuan'er looked at Xu Banxian and called out: Big brother is so interesting!
"Yuan'er, don't you fall in love with him?"
"I want it too! Do they want me?"
Xu Banxian hugged Yuan'er and said, "I won't give it even if I want it."
Yuan'er patted Xu Banxian's back and said: Are you stupid? Sister-in-law Erfeng is as beautiful as a flower and jade, how can he have any leisure!
"Who said that! My Yuan'er is the most beautiful." Xu Banxian continued:
Yuan'er hugged Xu Banxian tightly and said with a smile: Look at how stupid you are!
"Shitou, take that bowl of egg soup out." Xu Hongping shouted:
Shitou replied: Mom, I will pick it up later.
"Brother-in-law, has that man named Xu put on his pants?" Min'er called:
Shitou responded: Min'er, don't always call me Xu. In terms of age, he is older than your father.
"He knows he is old, so he shouldn't be disrespectful. Most of our family are women, and he still takes off his pants in the living room." Min'er replied:
Shitou said: Min'er, you misunderstood me. His pants were wet. I asked him to take them off and dry them.
Besides, he only took off a pair of outer pants.
"Yes! Min'er, it's raining heavily outside and his clothes are wet!" Xu Hongping continued:
Min'er frowned and muttered: No matter what, he can't take off his pants in public places!
"Min'er, what happened? Why do you look so long!" Erfeng led Tailor Zhou and the others into the kitchen.
Shitou continued: Nothing happened!
"Auntie, you can pretend to be Bao Gong with your face." Xiao Feng'er grabbed a handful of firewood ash and wiped it on Min'er's face.
Min'er wiped her cheek and shouted: You little girl!
"Xiao Feng'er, you are so naughty, let's see how I beat you." Shitou slapped Xiao Feng'er.
Xiao Feng'er cried "Wow wow".
Min'er shouted: Brother-in-law, what are you doing!
Erfeng looked at Xiaofeng'er, tears falling down.
Shitou walked up to Erfeng, wiped Erfeng's tears, and said: Sister Erfeng, I'm sorry!
Erfeng pushed Shi Shi's hand away and replied: "Leave me alone!" There's just dust in my eyes!
"Xiao Feng'er, you have the nerve to cry, who told you to be so naughty! You've made my aunt's face red." Xu Hongping shouted:
Xiao Feng'er cried even harder, whimpering...
"Brother, what's going on!"
"Xiao Feng'er was naughty, so I slapped her." Shitou responded:
Xu Banxian faced Min'er and smiled: Haha...
"Am I so funny?" Min'er wiped her face and said:
"Hey! My aunt has turned into a pretty girl." Xiao Feng'er said excitedly:
Min'er wiped her cheeks with both hands and replied: No way!
Everyone laughed in unison, hahaha...
"Okay, hurry up and bring the food out." Xu Hongping shouted:
Shitou shouted: Brother Xu, let me serve that bowl of soup.
Xu Banxian called out: Brother, that bowl of soup is so full, take a bowl and fill it up!
"This is quite full!" Shitou picked up the soup and walked slowly.
Erfeng and others followed closely.
Yuan'er saw Shi Shi coming out with soup dishes.
She quickly backed away.
Erfeng put the dishes on the table and ran straight to the room.
Shi Shi put the soup and vegetables and ran with Er Feng.
Yuan'er asked: Wangcai, what's going on with them?
Xu Banxian leaned towards Yuan'er and said secretly: They were flirting.
Xiao Feng'er said: Dad just hit me.
"Xiao Feng'er, are you obedient?" Yuan'er called:
Xiao Feng'er buried her head and made no reply.
Yuan'er said: Xiao Feng'er, if you listen to your parents, your parents will love you.
Otherwise, Xiao Feng'er will be hated by her parents!
Xiao Feng'er hugged Min'er's legs and muttered: Auntie, I want my parents.
Min'er hugged Xiao Feng'er and said: "Xiao Feng'er is good, mom and dad are inside, they will come out soon."
"Sister Erfeng, hit me! Please calm down. It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have hit Xiaofeng'er." Shitou grabbed Erfeng's hand and hit him in the face.
Erfeng clenched his hands and called out: I won't hit you, let alone hit you...
"Sister Erfeng, if you hit me, I'm not a human, I'm an animal. I've hit people many times..." Shitou interrupted:
Erfeng shouted: "You are absolutely right about this. It's just Xiaofeng'er's fault for being naughty, but there is no need for you to hit her with such force!" Every time you hit her, she will leave a few fingerprints. As the saying goes: If you hit her, it will hurt your mother's heart. Why are you so cruel!
Shitou hugged Erfeng and said: Sister Erfeng, forgive me! I am a martial arts practitioner. Every move I make is carried with strength. It is difficult for me to control my strength.
Erfeng patted Shitou's shoulder and choked with sobs: You are my enemy, you are really my enemy.
"Where did Shitou and the others go?" Xu Hongping shouted:
Miner responded: Mom, they went to the room.
Xu Hongping muttered: What did they do! It’s time to eat, why are you going to the room?
"You don't have to wait for us! You can eat first." Erfeng walked into the living room and shouted:
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, Shitou, hurry up and come around to eat.
Shitou moved the stool and called: "Xiao Feng'er, come here, I'll feed you."
Xu Hongping replied: Xiao Feng'er asked me to feed him.
"Mom, let me feed you!" Shitou replied:
Xu Hongping responded: You are a big man...
"Mom, let him try it!" Erfeng shouted:
Xu Hongping didn't say much and directly handed Xiao Feng'er into Shitou's hands.
Xiao Feng'er murmured: I don't want dad, dad will beat me.
Shitou said: Xiao Feng'er is the best! Dad won't hit you.
Xiao Feng'er plunged her head into Shitou's chest.
Shitou picked up the rice and fed Xiao Feng'er spoon after spoon.
Xiao Feng'er opened her mouth - to receive the meal.
"Ahem!" Xiao Feng'er vomited the rice all over the floor.
Erfeng smiled and said: Shitou, please give Xiaofeng'er to mom!
Shitou shouted: Xiao Feng'er, Xiao Feng'er...
"Shitou, if you feed her such a large spoonful of rice, it would be strange if she doesn't choke!" Xu Hongping called:
Everyone pursed their lips and smiled silly.
Shitou said: My father is too incompetent.
"Brother-in-law, you can't say that!" Min'er responded:
Xu Banxian took a piece of meat and called out: Grandma, Yuan'er and I often eat at your house. After careful consideration, we decided to give you some living expenses every month...
"Brother Xu, we are brothers. If you come to my house to have a bowl of rice, you have to pay for it. If this word spreads..." Shitou shouted:
Xu Banxian interrupted: Brother, don’t say any more! For monthly living expenses, we must come to the conclusion that when we come to your house, we are not just eating one or two meals, nor are we staying for ten or eight days. Over time, this is a big expense...
"Brother Xu, if Yuan'er works in my house, I won't pay her at most, but you won't!" Xu Hongping continued:
Shitou praised: This method is good.
Xu Banxian argued: Yuan'er's living expenses don't have to be paid, but mine is!
Xu Hongping responded: How much can you eat!
"Brother Xu, why are you so stubborn!" Shitou shouted:
Xu Banxian looked at Xu Hongping, looked at the stone, and thanked: Thank you, grandma! Thank you, brother!
Xu Hongping shouted: What are you thanking! Eat quickly! Have a meal!
Xu Banxian took a mouthful of rice and continued: Eat, eat...
