Autumn and winter? Scattered in the cold winter

This paper participates in the joint essay activity "Song of Winter" of "Memories of Autumn and Winter"

Finally, I couldn't resist Erdan and Dalin's persuasion, lit a cigarette, sat on the kang in the cellar, and casually vomited a smoke ring.

In this cramped, moldy little space, I didn't pay attention to their gossip at all, and my eyes were fixed on the stove cover on the ground.

The chopping wood in the stove burned "Gabe, Gabe" straight, and the lid of the stove was licked red by the flame, emitting red light in circles.

I haven't seen the earth before, but I know a thing or two from my parents' words. In the early 1950s, when these "errand boys" first came to the forest area, they didn't have a house at all, and they all lived in the cellar. Until now, they are still so reluctant to go back.

"It's good to have a cellar. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. Very comfortable. " Liu Sanbo said with relish.

Erdan's father interjected, "It's not shameful. I really miss our life in a small place. A dozen people sleep in a big shop. It's fucking hilarious. It seems that I can't live in this life. "

"Yes, why not?" Liu Sanbo smirked: "When you get depressed in the future, we will dig a deep pit on the hillside of Dongshan, where you can sleep for 10 thousand years."

"To you, you are so sad. You can't sing folk songs all your life. " Said the second egg dad raised his thin fist and pretended to hit Liu Sanbo. The old people present almost lost their breath.

The cellar where we live now is really small, much smaller than that where our parents lived. It's just a long, small road, a bit like a coffin, embedded in a steep river bed, covered with thick warm soil, forming a sharp, lonely grave bag.

Before winter, Erdan and Dalin dug ditches more than ten miles away from the forest farm with shovels. The mountains here are high and deep, which is an excellent nest for fishing.

Erdan and Dalin were my childhood playmates. When it comes to going to school, their heads get bigger. After graduating from junior high school, they went to work in the forest farm. They are good at everything else, but they are very good at fishing. No one in the forest farm can match them.

The director simply asked them to go fishing in Hetao in winter, and handed over five pounds of fish to the forest farm every day, and the rest was at their own disposal, with their mouths as big as broken shoes.

After failing the college entrance examination, I have no intention of fighting again. Staying at home all day is like losing your soul. At that time, I became a heart disease for my parents.

"Jun, you also work at home, hard for my uncles and aunts. Let's go fishing together, and we won't delay studying there, and the money we earn will be divided equally. " Two eggs and Dalin came to my house to persuade.

I nodded gratefully.

Although the cellar is not big, it is more spacious than a coffin. At least it can straighten inside. The innermost part is a long kang, more than two meters wide. There are two old fiberboards that can't be seen. This kang has become a place where we eat, sleep, chat and play poker.

In front of the kang is a heating fire cabinet. The fire cabinet is not high, but it is very hot. That's where I read and write in my spare time. There is no extra space in the house except a cooking stove and a water tank, and the whole area is only seven or eight square meters.

Fortunately, the old calendars of actors such as Chen Chong, Liu Xiaoqing and Gaowa Siqin were pasted on the earthen walls on both sides, which added a lot of bright colors and popularity to this "house".

Every night before the lights are blown, we three bachelors will play "rock, paper, scissors" for a while, winning two games and losing one game, so as to share the beautiful scenery on the wall.

Dalin thief is shameless. Whenever he wins a beautiful woman, he will chew Liu Xiaoqing's old calendar for a while. After a long time, Liu Xiaoqing's sexy lips were covered with Dalin's saliva, which was dark.

At night, there is a raging smoke gun blowing on the ice outside the Hetao; In the room, the three of us stared at the beautiful woman on the wall by the fire, and it was difficult to sleep. I really hope they can jump off the wall and get into our bed at once.

In the morning, Erdan and Dalin packed up Bashi, dressed up and went for a walk (fishing net) in Hetao. It took a whole morning, walked four or five miles, and walked more than 20 hangzi on the river.

Cutting wood, burning the stove and cooking naturally became my job. With a little time, I went to the river and shaved some ice cubes. When I came back, I put a basin on the stove, melted it and poured it into the jar to wash vegetables and cook.

At noon, two people came into the room with cold noses, took off their cotton shoes, jumped on the kang and put their feet into the quilt.

After a burst of warmth, Dalin said, "Jun, open the bag and see how big the fish we came back today."

I curled my lips and casually went to carry my bag without saying a word: "Mom, it's so heavy. You two must have brought all the ice back. Great, I don't have to go out and scrape ice. "

Two people sitting on the kang laughed.

I was shocked when I opened the bag. There are two big catfish weighing seven or eight pounds in the bag. I immediately sat down on the ground and said, "You two put the fish ancestors back today. This is not a dream. "

I put a frozen catfish on it, and the height has exceeded my crotch.

In the afternoon, Dalin pulled the sledge back to the forest farm, gave the small fish to the forest farm, and took the shuttle bus to the town below to sell the two big catfish. It was not until the sun stuck in the mountains that Dalin came back with a sledge in three steps, and his words changed: "How much do you think those two catfish are worth?"

"Hard riveting costs fifty dollars." Two eggs guessed.

"Quick put your fifty, ha ha, a * * * sold three hundred dollars. The owner of that restaurant said that he had never seen such a big catfish, so he gave me 300 yuan without weighing it. He was afraid that I would go shopping and gave me five pounds for nothing when I left. "

Then Dalin put the wine on the fire cupboard: "Xiaojun, go and cook some meat, and the three of us will have a good drink tonight."

I opened the bag, which contained a piece of meat and some frozen tofu.

"Oh, yes, there's another thing." Dalin said as he pulled out a brand-new small semiconductor from his pocket. He turned on the switch, and the cellar was filled with the campus song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" sung by Wang Jieshi and Sherris.

When eating, Er Dan and Da Lin didn't drink less. Although I never drink, I still drank half a bowl under their push and stared at the beautiful women on the wall, which turned into double shadows.

Two eggs have the cheek to smile and hug me: "Sir, I don't want to read that stupid calendar, and it's useless to read it." If there are too many fish hanging, marry them back. "

Dalin just drank the water in his mouth and sprayed it all over the floor: "Bah, with your mountain cannon, people won't watch a train of catfish."

The next morning, Dalin put the money on the kang, and each of us got 70 yuan.

When I put money in my underwear pocket, I suddenly felt warm all over. At that time, my father only opened 100 yuan a month. To me, 70 yuan is a huge sum of money.

After breakfast, they got into the cold wind again and went to Hetao to walk the big catfish.

Within a few days, Hetao lost its former tranquility. The news that we caught a big catfish spread to the forest farm and the town below the mountain. People have come to Hetao to try their luck. The river is full of people who have broken ice holes and fishing nets.

Er Dan and Da Lin are busier. They go out early and come back late. Sometimes the wind is so strong at night that the trees on the river bank rustle. Two eggs and Dalin took out gunpowder from under their pillows and went out to patrol for fear that others would steal our fishing nets.

I was a little embarrassed lying under the quilt, so I quickly sat up and got dressed. At this time, I was held down by Dalin: "Look at you, you can't stand one, you don't need it, go to sleep quickly."

After the inspection, Er Dan stood at the door of the cellar, put his gun on it and shouted, What are you looking for? Don't you know there are guards here?

Lying on the kang, the three of us were sleepy. Dalin said, "Did you hear?"

Er Dan turned his head and asked Dalin, "What did you hear?"

"I heard that in summer, the dog left and Xiao Fang whispered in the river on the west side of the forest farm. The dog left took the opportunity to kiss Xiao Fang and scared Xiao Fang? After running and hiding for several days, she said that she could be pregnant with a child with a kiss. "

Two eggs raised his voice: "Fuck, who are you listening to fart? Isn't this a kowtow? "

Dalin said slowly, "I heard Dazhu say that he took an oath. He said that he is not a person if he wants to lie. "

Two eggs snorted: "Fuck it, that calf was never human, and it was skinned. Because he pursued Xiao Fang a few years ago, and Xiao Fang didn't agree, he made up lies everywhere to bury Xiao Fang.

Dalin sat up: "I'm still thinking. How can two people get pregnant without going to bed? "

I burst out laughing: "Dalin, if only I could give birth to a baby with my mouth." You kiss Liu Xiaoqing every day, and it won't be long before she can have a healthy child. "

"I didn't kiss a real person. I kissed a calendar. " Dalin kicked me shyly.

Two eggs looked sideways at the old calendar on the wall: "I'd better tear it up tomorrow, if I have a healthy child." There is no place to live. "

Say that finish, two eggs on the pillow quietly happy.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Erdan and Dalin not only go for a walk in the morning, but also go to the mountains in the south to set condoms after noon. They want to set up some roe deer and mountain rabbits as a thank you, and we can share the rest together and eat more game during the Chinese New Year.

Never sell it privately. At that time, hunting was banned on a large scale in the forest area, but it was not strictly guarded, but people who were caught would be punished.

For more than ten days in a row, they only trapped a few mountain rabbits and came back with drooping heads. I advised them: "What happened to the mountain rabbit? There is a lot of fat, add some potatoes to stew, and the soybean oil is also saved. "

The second egg is a pity: "that's true, but you can't give it to the field director."

I remembered a line from the movie Shepherd: "Don't worry, don't worry, there will be bread and everything."

Then I put a small pot of rabbit stewed potatoes on the kang: "Pour the wine quickly, or the food will get cold."

One morning, flocks of crows kept circling over Nanshan. Two eggs quickly called Dalin to get the powder gun and rope: "Hurry, hurry up the mountain, our condom has been caught."

"Do pull came, are you possessed? You've been talking nonsense since early in the morning. Can you see the cover on the hill in the cellar? " Dalin wandered on the ground.

"Let's go, don't dawdle." Say that finish, two eggs dragged Dalin up Nanshan.

Towards noon, each of them pulled back a roe deer with a rope, and Dalinla's roe deer was still bloody. I also understood at that time.

Er Dan is really experienced. He knew that when a crow found a trapped roe deer, he would let his companions eat it, so there were crowds of crows hovering in the sky. If the hunters come late, the whole roe deer will be wrapped up by them.

After February 2, the weather began to get warmer, and the ice in the river turned into stubble and crunched on it. We know that it is time to break the deadlock and hang up the fish.

One sunny noon, we had enough to eat and drink, loaded all the household sledges with sledges, and then went home. Before leaving, Er Dan made three bows to the river with his hands folded: "Thanks to the river god, we spent the whole winter safely, and we will come back next year."

Back to the forest farm, under my father's persuasion, I went to Yamashita School to review for the exam. Before leaving, my father took back 200 yuan from the forest farm, saying that it was given by the director and my salary for fishing in winter. Father patted me on the shoulder: "The director said you should review well and don't have a burden." If you are not admitted to the university, you can go fishing in Hetao next year. "

The following winter, I didn't go fishing in Hetao area. Although I was once again disgraced, hungry and blind, a few months later, I became a fish that escaped from the university and mingled with the tax bureau at the foot of the mountain.

Can't sleep at night. I can still think of the warm floor from time to time, the old calendars that once made the three of us uneasy.
