Men and women eating in the courtyard
Chapter 98 Hanging up (1st update)
After inquiring about the blind date, Shazhu put his hands in his sleeves and wanted to go home.
Hearing these women in the courtyard talking about the Li family, they knew that the news about the child had been leaked by someone.
"I say, gentlemen, hey, don't criticize others in small talk, please keep your mouth shut!"
This silly Zhu is an upright person and cannot bear to hear a few people talking about people behind their backs, especially Li Xuewu, who has a good friendship with him.
"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, Zhu Zhu, you have to think about it, don't you know who Li Xuewu was before?"
"That's right, if he comes back now with a child in his arms, 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” thing to pay attention to people behind the scenes, but reporting is beyond the capabilities of these ladies.
Silly Zhu didn't care about these ladies, and said with a bad smile: "If you are not afraid of death, you will just say, just gossiping about your wife here. Think about it, this Li Xuewu pulled off dozens of people in the steel rolling mill as soon as he got to work." Went to the western suburbs to shoot targets.”
This sentence frightened these women.
These days, target practice is usually driven out by big trucks without even wearing hoods. Going to the execution ground in the western suburbs is a disaster. These people have 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 talk about Li Xuewu's ruthlessness. It's more than enough to kill you men if he doesn't want to get your hands dirty. When the time comes, he can make you kneel down." Do you believe it when you beg him?”
Looking at the coquettish expressions of the ladies, Silly Zhu scolded again: "What? Do you think your family has had enough of a good life? Do you want to learn how to be a widow like Aunt Jia? I think that's fine~"
"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 dispersed 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 directly kill you if you fall into Li Xuewu's hands again?" Huo'er? Don't forget that you can prepare a record at the steel 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?" ".
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? Give up your ambition!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang took a sip, then trotted home after speaking.
Silly Zhu smiled evilly at Mrs. Jia Zhang before humming a little tune and went back to his room.
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 uralia.
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 different levels of sable, sable, etc., which I won’t mention here.
Ula grass is a herbaceous plant native to the Northeast. In the old days, Northeastern people used Ula grass sewn from leather and beaten with soft wadding 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: the windows are papered out, the eldest girl is holding a big pipe in her mouth, and the child is hanging up to feed herself.
The first strange thing is that the windows are papered on the outside. Because the Northeast is cold, so in the winter, paper strips are used to paper the gaps in the windows. This is not strange, but the strange thing is that it is papered on the outside.
That's because the winter in the Northeast lasts for 4 or 5 months, and it's easy to get wet from water vapor when stuck indoors, and it's also easy to be 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 blame was that the eldest girl was holding a big pipe in her mouth. Smoking was a custom among Northeastern people in the past. Everyone smoked. Mrs. Li smoked when she was young.
Young girls from the Northeast grew up living with the elderly at home. In the winter, there is nothing much to do except smoke 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 a rope, usually hanging from the beam. 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 on its own for a long time.
This custom comes 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 walked away from the water, they often put their children in cradle and hung them. Migration on horseback.
Now my grandma makes a bicycle for my child that hangs from the beams of the house.
Some bicycles are made of rattan, but rattan is not produced in the north, so my grandmother used wooden beams to fasten slots and thin wooden boards to make a bicycle with two ends turned up. The overall shape is oval, with two symmetrical small holes on both sides. The ears are used to tie 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, but will not cause the child to get angry.
Li Xuewu lowered the height of the rope and adjusted it to the appropriate position according to his grandma's instructions.
"I hit it, 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 it was quite 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 bicycle made by my great-grandpa, shall we?" The old lady put the child in the bicycle with both hands.
Li Xuewu pushed gently, and the car began to sway 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 pushing the car while teasing the children in the 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 if you tied 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 such thing as a big brick floor." It broke in two days, otherwise my eldest granddaughter would still be able to use it."
Li Xuewu defended with a playful smile: "If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in. Look, my daughter will have to use a new rickshaw. Look at how good the rickshaw is made by my great-grandpa."
