Chapter 40: Ji Kang and Wu Ke

Hedong, Jiangyi.

That year, the first snow fell in Hedong, thousands of miles of ice, snow-capped, the country man had a jar of alcohol wine in his left hand for 505 baht and 10 catties of beef in his right hand and 25 baht for him.

A thatched hut, a dilapidated fence, and a big jujube tree, pushing open the fence gate, Wu Ke, who is tall and tall, shouted: "Jikang, quickly take the fucking meat and stew!" ”

Hearing the sound, Ji Kang was stunned, how long has it been since his old friend Wu Ke came to the door? He greeted him with a smile: "Oh, my old brother, where have you been in the past few years?" Not even a single message! ”

"Let's stop with the meat first, and talk while drinking!"

Soon the beef was stewed, the wine was also hot, the two sat opposite each other, drank wine, ate meat, Ji Kang smashed his mouth, the aftertaste was endless, and said: "This beef is still chewy, I haven't eaten it for many years, and now the government is strict, don't say that the cattle will be fined for old age, even if you want to slaughter and eat meat, you have to be approved by the government!" By the way, Brother Wu, what about my sister-in-law? Why didn't you come together, leaving your sister-in-law and my niece at home, and you ran away to eat beef here, it's a bit unauthentic!

Wu Ke took a sip of wine, his face was as calm as water, and said, "Let's go, it's been a year!" ”

The work in Ji Kang's hand fell on the small case with a bang, and then laughed: "The common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, second brother Wu, you want to open it!" As he spoke, he sighed again: "My sister-in-law has a good life, she married Brother Wu, but unfortunately she is not blessed, I wonder, why don't good people live long in this world now!" ”

"In those years, I was okay and thought that I was a loser and sold all the land, and then I felt very sorry for her, and I knew that she was sick, so I sold the house and sent Nan Nizi and her to my brother and sister-in-law, and then I went to Xianbei to sell some salt, and when I came back, there were no people. People are like this, at that time, I nagged in my ears every day, saying that your brother and I felt annoyed when I didn't have a chance, thinking about why don't stinky girls die quickly, but now my ears are clean, but I feel that something is missing, and I look back, only to find that there is a missing person who asks for warmth, and now I think about it, I feel sorry for her. ”

Wu Ke looked at the wine in the cup, shook it, his eyes were full of guilt, and muttered: "I'm really sorry for her!" ”

"Brother Wu, it's not that my brother said you, it's better to have less money to buy and sell private salt, if you are caught, you will be in the army, and if you are heavy, you will be killed, what can my eldest niece do!"

"I also know, so I can't die if I say anything, don't you know, that little Nizi is very handsome now, your brother couldn't stand her when her mother was alive, why do you have to dress that Nizi beautifully, I'll touch it (think?) Intend? Wait for the spring of next year to go again, the last trip, and when I come back, I will buy her a golden hairpin to wear, and then put a few acres of land, live a down-to-earth life, and then pull Nizi up, and go to her in the future, and I can say that I am good when I see her! ”

"Come brother, go one?"

"Let's go!"

"By the way, brother, there is only one person in the house, and the girls who warm the quilt haven't touched it yet?"

Ji Kang danced and said, "I met, I'm preparing for the dowry!" ”

"That's good, it's not a small boss, and it's time to ask a mother-in-law to live!"

Ji Kang smiled and poured wine for Brother Wu, and then filled himself with it: "It's the little daughter of the old Liu family, she is handsome and good-hearted, but it's a pity that this marriage can't be concluded for the time being, and she will go to Youzhou to serve in a few days!" ”

"What kind of service are you still serving at this time, spend three hundred dollars to buy a service, let's become a family first, if you don't have money, my brother will give you a cushion first!"

"I still have this money, but I discussed it with my father, it is more cost-effective to serve, it is better to save the three hundred money, although it is less, but it can accumulate a lot, and if you save more in the future, you can buy some land, and life can be better!"

"You kid has been picking since he was a child, and he is reluctant to spend the three hundred service money, this brother Qian paid for you, and it is only serious to do the family affairs first!"

"Brother Wu, I know that you are not as bold as me, and besides, don't you still have to go through the salt road with your money? Do you want to buy a golden hairpin for my niece? So I understand your kind brother! ”

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything, anyway, it's only been three days, and I may not be able to encounter any war, it's just a waste of time on the way back and forth, and prepare more dry food when the time comes!"

Ji Kang laughed and teased: "When did Brother Wu become a girl, grinding and chattering, come and come, drink!" ”

Wu Ke was slightly stunned, and scolded: "Don't listen to people's persuasion, your brother realized earlier, can your sister-in-law have no money to invite Langzhong?" ”

"I know, Brother Wu, can you understand your brother's good brother? You won't be treated badly on the road! ”

Wu Ke didn't say anything, he thought of Xiao Nizi again, and stood up suddenly: "I have to go!" ”

Jikang looked at him confusedly: "Why don't you say let's go, the wine hasn't been drunk yet!" ”

Wu Ke shook his head and said: "I have to go back to the city to buy a wooden hairpin for Nizi first, as for drinking with you, I guess when you come back from Youzhou, I will also come back from Xianbei, and then I will have a good time!" ”

"Yes, you want to coax the girl to be happy first, then let's go, I didn't expect my second brother Wu, now the girl is more important than the brother! Good thing, good thing, when I come back from Youzhou, if I am lucky enough to save some military merits, I will buy my eldest niece a satin to wear! ”

"Haha!" Wu Ke, who turned around and was about to leave, turned around sharply and sneered: "Just your kid, can you save up military merits?" When the time comes, just don't be a deserter! ”

Ji Kang clenched his fists and said with a serious face: "Brother Wu, you don't know, in fact, if you don't buy military service this time, you will go with the idea of accumulating military merits at the border. ”

"Then you have to bless yourself with a big life, it's best not to die in Youzhou, if there really is that day, don't forget to give my brother a dream, and my brother will go and collect your body!"

"Haha, don't worry, I still have to buy satin for my eldest niece, besides, the Li family girl hasn't passed the door yet, can she be willing to die like this?"

"Then you have as many fucking eyes, Lao Tzu is still waiting for you to come back and drink your favorite wine! Let's go! ”

The fence yard, the fence gate, the two hugged each other and parted.

~~~~~~

"Brother, why are you still drinking?"

"For you to practice, it's not okay to have a drink with my brother!"

"Okay, can you not do it!"

"Come, sister-in-law will you too!"

"Yo, is this still my sister-in-law?"

"What, your sister-in-law is really the tigress!"

"Brother, you must be careful on the road!" Brother Wu Ke glanced at his daughter-in-law, and tears flowed down his eyes when he looked at his brother.

Wu Ke's heart was sour, but he still endured his feelings and said, "Brother, what are you doing, don't worry, the first few trips were fine, can you still have something to do this time?" ”

"Boss, you really can't leave a brother like you!"

"Go, go, what do women know!"

Brother Wu Ke took his brother's arm to the side and whispered: "Brother, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, look at the young lady's girl, you have to leave and don't know how to send it, what can you do when you are old in the future, I see, this time I will come back and tell you about the marriage!" ”

"Brother, don't mention the marriage or anything, wait for the young lady to be older!" After speaking, Wu Ke was still a little uneasy, and advised: "Brother, you have to be kind to the young lady, otherwise I will take him away when I come back!" ”

"I know, I don't know what you're for, if my brother and sister knew that you became like this now, they would be able to look at it, but it's a pity, you kid didn't open his mind until this time!"

Wu Ke's expression became gloomy: "Brother, I'm leaving!" ”

"Brother, it's okay, brother shouldn't have ...... in front of her in front of you"

"Brother, what are you talking about, how old am I!" The corners of Wu Ke's mouth curled up a little, and he was about to leave, but he found that Nizi was peeking at the corner with her little head exposed, he knew that the young lady hated him because of her mother's death, and now that she was dead, the most guilty in her heart was the young lady, after she found herself retracting her little head, she walked over, stood in front of her, took out a wooden hairpin, and said: "Girl, wear this first, wait for your father to come back, and buy you a golden hairpin to wear!" ”

The little girl's eyes were complicated, she didn't stretch out her hand, and her eyes kept lowering.

Wu Ke put the wooden hairpin on her with his own hands, then squatted down and stroked her little face affectionately: "Dad is leaving, don't talk to dad yet, it seems that the little young lady still doesn't forgive her father!" ”

The little young lady's big eyes became scattered, a little hazy, a little misty.

"So let's do it, daddy?" Seeing that the little young lady turned into a fierce look again, although Wu Ke smiled on his face, his heart really hurt, it hurt so much: "It seems that I still can't forgive my father!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked away, and walked slowly three steps, when suddenly the young lady's voice sounded in his ears: "You, you want to come back alive!" ”

Wu Ke's body was stunned, his shoulders kept trembling, and he choked and said: "Girl, don't worry, my father will not die if he says anything before he puts a golden hairpin on you with his own hands!" After saying that, he left without looking back, not because he didn't want to look at his daughter more, but because he didn't want the young lady to see his tears!

The young lady took off the wooden hairpin and held it in her heart with the pair of flower cloth shoes left by her mother, but the flower cloth shoes were too small and too small......

Ji Kang saw his old brother Wu Ke again, but it was already half a year later in Lulongzhai......
