Salad Days - Chapter 4

After the cold spring and May, a few rains fell and the temperature rose faster than the joints. There was a main road of asphalt road in the town, and there were lush leaves on both sides. The dog hair was given to him just after the winter vacation. He bought a new battery car. He would drive back more than 20 kilometers every weekend. When he passed Tiange, he stopped and shouted to Jiang Shen, who was planting seedlings: “Shen Zi! Brother drive you back!”

Jiang Shen raised his head. He wore an oversized lady’s sun hat, his calf was buried in the mud, and he waved towards the dog hair.

There was no way for the dog hair to go to the ground, Jiang Shen had to slowly flow over: “I have to work, my feet are dirty, is your car new?”

Gou Mao said, “Hi,” he said, “You can ask our family to borrow a rice transplanter. I will go back and tell my dad!”

Jiang Shen pouted: “What if your mother doesn’t agree?”

The dog hair choked, thinking for a long time, simply parked the battery car on the side of the road, took off his shoes and trouser legs: “Come on, brother help you insert.”

Jiang Shen hurriedly stopped him: “Farewell, let my dad see that I will be scolded.”

The dog hair shoes were all taken off, and I was not happy to put it on, so I just sat down on the field and talked to Jiang Shen: “Will you go to the Cultural Palace later?”

Jiang Shen nodded: “I can go after finishing work.”

Dog fur frowned: “Why did you learn something messy…what did you learn?”

Jiang Shenzhi’s reluctance to say that the dog’s hair did not go deeper, he seemed to be blown cold by the wind with his bare legs, and a layer of fine goose bumps came up, and suddenly said, “Why don’t you go to Shubao’s? Borrow rice transplanter?”

Speaking of borrowing a rice transplanter, although Jiang Luoshan is a tough guy, he also borrowed one or two other times when he was unable to do so in the first two years.

Miao Hua’er, the dog’s mother, is a well-known wicked woman in Shili Ba Village. She married Chen Lao and the brazier was almost kicked by her. In addition to farming, the women in the village usually have no other entertainment activities. When they are empty, they love to see the truth at the card table. Miao Hua’er has a bad smell, and she is used to being with her for a long time.

Tan Lingling only went to play cards occasionally. Miao Huaer played with her several times, and the relationship was not bad. The rice transplanter was asked by the Chen family for the first two years.

The matter of suspicion is also complicated, and is related to Shu Bao’s mother Li Zhuo.

Unlike the locals, Li Zhuo is a complete wife in the city. Although she is married to the country, she is a financial supervisor in a large company in the city. I heard that she still owns the shares. Even a year of Shu Baod’s harvest will not work. Li Zhuo made enough money to feed the family.

Li Zhuo is not close to anyone in the town, and even the feelings of contact between women in card games are never involved. Miao Hua’er always sees her as unpleasant, and feels that the people in the city are scrupulous and look down on people.

Tan Lingling played cards with her afterwards, and heard her say Li Zhuo, but she couldn’t hold back for a while, and she replied: “Mother Shubao is not that kind of person, don’t say anything to Sister Hua’er.”

Miao Hua’er was overbearing, but for the first time she said that she was not. Someone dared to refute, and immediately turned her face. Tan Lingling was naturally not a soft persimmon. After that, the card game would not go anymore, and the rice transplanter also gave back to the Chen family. .

In fact, Miao Huaer regretted her temper. Although she had a bad temper, she still understood the truth. Especially after seeing the returned rice transplanter, her heart was even more uncomfortable, but she couldn’t pull it down. Tangled with the New Year. Seeing that it was April or May again, thinking of the situation of Tan Lingling’s family and Jiang Luoshan’s waist, Miao Huaer couldn’t sit still.

She picked it up and went to the Jiang’s house after eating at noon. When she passed the yard, she yelled, “Ling girl!”

Tony chicken responded to her twice, and was arrogantly shushed by Miaohua.

She shouted “Lingmei” again, and entered the living room generously. As a result, Tan Lingling did not see it, but instead saw Li Zhuo sitting calmly, drinking tea and smiling at her politely.

Miao Hua’er’s temperament is uncommon how to say, they are all here, and they have to sit down with their teeth clenched.

Tan Lingling happened to collect her clothes from the back room and was surprised when she saw Miao Huaer: “Why is Sister Huaer coming?”

Tan Lingling didn’t even remember it before, but she was afraid that Miao Huaer would mind before returning to the rice transplanter. Besides, borrowing things was originally a troublesome thing, and the Jiang family originally planned to buy a machine.

“Sit down, I will make tea for you.” Tan Lingling said enthusiastically, she added water to Li Zhuo and explained, “Sister Zhuo has just arrived and wants to borrow a rice transplanter for us. We are talking.”

Miao Huaer glanced at Li Zhuo with a little taste, accusing him: “Mother Shu Bao has agreed to borrow…”

Li Zhuo took a sip of tea. Unlike the woman who often goes to the ground, her delicate skin and tender meat are very gentle and temperamental: “My family is only a small one.” Her voice was soft, and her breath seemed to be broken. Yes, “If Sister Hua’er is willing to borrow a big one, it won’t be embarrassing to take out that one in my house.”

Miao Hua’er heard Li Zhuo’s speech for the first time. He was held so warmly by the other party. His face turned red when he was hot. He did not know whether he was ashamed or ashamed. He hurriedly said: “I borrowed it from me. My sister is really, why didn’t you tell me early.”

Tan Lingling’s eyes turned a few times between her two, and “poo” laughed out loud: “You are all Bodhisattvas, are you polite to each other?”

Miao Hua’er didn’t blush anymore, she was straightforward, pretending to smoke a few mouths of herself, and said to Li Zhuo: “I, usually have a broken mouth, don’t you mind Zhuo sister.”

Li Zhuo also laughed, still soft and weak, and blinked and said, “I don’t know anything.”

As soon as her voice fell, she laughed. When she saw her, Tan Lingling also laughed, teasing Miao Hua’er: “Sister Zhuo is playing well. Next time, I will take her to your table to sit and take more. Order some money.”

“Ouch, I must lose like that.” When it comes to playing cards, Miao Huaer’s temper is hardened, and his mouth is even more polite. “Be careful, old lady let you take off your pants!”

When Jiang Shen came in from the outside, he heard the laughter of the full house. It was still a little unclear. So, in the afternoon dance class, he waited for his father to deliver meals at noon, and he just finished eating. In order to save time, he used a hose at Tiantou to save time. At the bottom of the foot, the battery car with dog hair hurried back.

Tan Lingling saw her son sharply: “Call me…the shoes are in the house!”

Jiang Shen shouted her aunt aloud twice, and didn’t have time to think about why they came to her house. She went back to the room and took her dancing shoes. She simply hung it on her neck and hurried out of the house.

Tan Lingling chased behind her and shouted, “Bring some money!”

Jiang Shen had to fold it back and grab a handful of bits and pieces.

Miao Hua’er wondered: “What are you doing here?”

Tan Lingling walked back and said, “Before the Palace of Culture reported a dance class, why don’t you go to class?”

Even Li Zhuo was a little surprised: “Shen Zi can dance?”

Tan Lingling waved carelessly: “Learning!”

The dancing shoes tied around Jiang Shen’s neck brought back sway. He ran hard in the countryside and ran all the way through the canals of Tiantou and Qinglingling. The old man who rented a bookstore was pressed by the wind with a cigarette rod The raised newspaper saw Jiang Shen, who had run away, raised his head and said with a voice: “Slow down!”

Jiang Shen turned around and waved at him. The wind blew the sun and spilled on his bangs.

The bus that went to the city before was preparing to drive away. Jiang Shen chased and shouted, “Wait! Wait!”

The driver stopped and Jiang Shen jumped up in one arrow.

“Be careful not to fall!” The driver master scolded.

Jiang Shen gasped and thanked him. He collected the shoes hanging around his neck and sat down till the last row.

As a result, it was still a little late at the Cultural Palace, and Teacher Lin said nothing, so Jiang Shen went to change clothes first.

A class of ten girls, only Jiang Shen is a boy. He was wearing a tank and shorts changed by Tan Lingling. The corridor from the dressing room to the dance room was unheated. Jiang Shen trot all the way with his arms shaking. When Teacher Lin introduced him, the other girls all gathered together and stared at him curiously.

Jiang Shen grew so big that he had never been seen by so many girls, and his face turned red unconsciously.

“He’s so dark.” There were girls in the front row whispering.

Another girl said, “Because he is a boy.”

Jiang Shen’s hands and feet don’t know where to put it.

Teacher Lin said kindly: “You stand first.” She clapped her hands. “We’re warming up.”

The girls were all huddled up and down, with two or three buckling backs and backs, Jiang Shenmu stood by the side, only to remember the lower back splits he had practiced before, and he did it one by one in that order. Another girl looked at him.

“Will you split?” a girl asked.

Jiang Shen nodded: “Yes.” He finished, as if he was afraid of unbelief on the opposite side, he quickly made a vertical split.

The girl made a cross: “That’s it.”

Jiang Shen did it again, and the girl stood up and walked around behind him: “I help you back.”

Jiang Shen only felt a sink in the back, and in an instant, his entire upper body clung to the floor.

“Yeah.” The girl was surprised. “You are so soft.”

As soon as her voice fell, all the girls came around, and some even knelt beside him, leaning over to see if he was really all on the floor.

“For the first time, boys are so soft,” a big girl said.

Jiang Shen was confused: “Are there any other boys?”

The girl said: “We are the only one here, but there is a boxing gym next door, all boys.”

Like a bird, they pulled Jiang Shen up and ran to the next door, and there was also a class there. Ten boys stood in two rows, all in a slight position, with their hands behind their backs.

“They can’t even split.” The girls proudly said, “Seeing that boy is gone, he looks almost as big as you.”

Jiang Shen looked in the direction she pointed, and the last boy standing in the first row suddenly turned back.

Before Jiang Shen could see it clearly, the girls pressed their heads: “He looked over!”

“It’s so fierce! He glared at me…”

Jiang Shen struggled for a long time before being freed from the girls.

“You can’t learn from them.” The girls were serious and righteous about him. “They are dirty and smelly all day, but they hate it.”
