Reflections on reading green branches and leaves

The original text of green branches and leaves

It was an afternoon in July, and it was as hot as fire in the sky. He Manzi was tied to the post of the grape trellis by grandpa and tied with a thief's buckle.

That was 1936. He Manzi is six years old, with a shaved head and a wooden comb on his head. As soon as Chang Xia handed it in, he was naked, with only a slight scar between his eyebrows and a cracked nose. His body seems to have just climbed out of the chimney, and even his eyes are darker than before the long summer.

Grandma asked Aunt Wang Rilian next door to make a red belly for He Manzi, and a lot of flowers and plants were embroidered with colorful threads. Men wear clothes and horses wear saddles. He Manzi is sure to get ahead among his friends with this bonus. However, He Manzi doesn't wear it for a day.

He Manzi ran wild on the beach all day, the sun shone on his head, and then wrapped his stomach. He was cold and sweaty, and he couldn't wear it for a day. He had a rash for most of his life. Moreover, there is not a little girl in the village as bright as flowers and plants. He wears it on his body, and no matter whether he is a man or a woman, the little girls have to scratch their faces with their fingers. He is embarrassed to find a vole's nest to get into; Little boys will also call him a little girl like beating gongs and drums, and call him a lifetime.

He Manzi didn't wear a bonus. Grandma swore at him, tried to knock him with a rolling pin, and threatened not to give him food for three days. It turns out that this tripe is very particular. He Manzi is a charming boy, and grandma is always afraid that the devil will send Bai impermanence to hook him away. It is said that the terrifying man is very patriarchal, and He Manzi wears a bonus and dresses up as a woman, so the terrifying man can't see clearly, so he can't get the evil thoughts of heady death.

He Manzi's grandmother, everyone calls her Aunt Zhang Qing; Tall, with big feet, bronze complexion and bright voice, he cursed people. Fiona Fang is twenty or thirty miles away, and he dares to say that he can't find an opponent who can handle several rounds. Aunt Zhang's scolding is like rain hitting a banana, long and short sentences, four or six bodies, playing drums all day, and not losing her voice at one go. She can also fight. Hands on, although she is fifty or sixty years old, three or five big boys are not enough for her to play with a pot.

Her home is located on the bank of the North Canal, and the river is outside the door. Once, a sailboat from Waijiang knocked at the door and passed by, just at noon. Aunt Zhang Qing stood in the shade outside the fence and put down the duck. When she saw several stalkers naked, wearing only one waist, and their trousers rolled up and put on their heads, she stopped drinking: "Stop!" " With a brazier on their heads, these trackers pulled for 180 miles, but the water was against the wind, and they didn't stop to stand on tiptoe, and they were all hungry. They turned a deaf ear to Aunt Zhang's exclamation. Aunt Zhang Qing was even more angry when she saw that they didn't look up and ignored them. She shouted again, "Put on pants for me!" " A young ungrateful tracker gave Aunt Zhang Qing a white look and said angrily, "I haven't seen anything for a long time; I don't like closing my eyes and turning my face away! Aunt Zhang was furious and pulled the cuff to reveal two copper bracelets. "。 A gust of wind rushed down the river slope, stopped them in front of the tracker, poked their noses and said, "We can't let you marinate our big girl's eyes! The ungrateful young tracker, a foolish child, pushed Aunt Zhang with his hand and said, "Good dog is in the way!" " "This can stir up a hornet's nest. Aunt Zhang Qing flew into a rage, and the boss grabbed the fan and slapped two face twice. The young tracker turned three times and twisted three times like the wind. His face was blooming, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he fell headlong on the hot beach, breathing slowly and moaning high and low. Several trackers saw their partners being beaten and whistled; Just listen to it. Aunt Zhang Qing folded a willow about the size of a tea bowl, and with a wave of her hand, she swept these trackers into the river, just like making Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, and fell into the water one by one. Aunt Zhang Qing stood by the river and cursed loudly, forbidding those trackers to climb ashore. The sailboat lost its fiber strength, and the helmsman at the helm cracked and couldn't control it. He turned the mill on the river. Finally, the boat owner invited out the willow bucket of the ferry boat, the old scale paved with nails, the old carpenter Zheng Duanwu, and Du Si, who opened a small shop. It was two or three hours before Aunt Zhang Qing was released.

Aunt Zhang Qing has a pair of big hands full of calluses. She is an expert in agriculture, boating and fishing. She can also prick needles, cupping and deliver babies. Set the bone. Look at the red wound. Adults and children in this small village have a headache and fever, and they all come to her to recover. Everyone under the age of 30 in the village was brought into this world by her thick hands.

However, don't look at a post. Aunt Green can travel in all directions, but she can't control He Manzi. What family is passed down from generation to generation? Every generation is a seedling. He Manzi's grandfather is an old man, and his father was born when Aunt Zhang was nearly forty years old. It's that He Manzi is different, which is the birth of his mother's first child. On hearing the crying of her grandson falling to the ground, Aunt Zhang burst into tears, burning incense and making a wish to worship Buddha. On the day of washing three, I personally killed a sheep and three chickens and put on a small banquet; On the full moon, he even killed a pig and six ducks and held a feast for the villagers. She traveled all over several villages along the river, begging from house to house for bits and pieces of cloth, why did Manzi sew colorful clothes? One hundred days later, I dressed He Manzi and carried him out to meet the guests, which won a lot of applause. On his first birthday, he also built a heavy bronze gold-plated longevity lock, which was glittering and almost choked He Manzi.

He Manzi is the apex of Aunt Zhang's heart, with lungs, eyeballs and lifeblood. Gal, aunt Zhang Qing and her daughter-in-law will have a sharp contradiction.

He Manzi's father went to a bookstore in Tongzhou as an apprentice at the age of thirteen and studied lithography. He learned a good hand and a good painting. He was handsome and gentle, and the shopkeeper liked him so much that he betrothed his daughter to him. He Manzi's grandfather, vain and ambitious, smiled and agreed to this marriage. Aunt Zhang Qing is unhappy; She doesn't like city people, and wants to find a farmer or a boatman girl as a wife for her son to help her work and support her family. But she couldn't beat the old man and was afraid of hurting her son's heart. She didn't want to, so she agreed. He Manzi's mother is not a young lady, and her small bookstore can only earn enough food and clothing for one year; However, she was born in a well-off family with literature and ink. Although she didn't go to school, she was also influenced by a book and became literate. She is good-looking, thin and polite. In the eyes of Aunt Zhang Qing, she is just a beautiful and useless paper flower, and she doesn't like it in her heart. He Manzi's mother despises her mother-in-law's rudeness and is not used to living in the country, so she doesn't want to come back as soon as she lives in her mother's house. When He Manzi was born, He Manzi's father wanted to build another home in the city. Aunt Zhang Qing is a face-saving person. It's a shame to break up, but the whole family is noisy and makes people laugh. The old man was in a dilemma and secretly shed tears several times. But after thinking about it, a long shed was built thousands of miles away, and there was no banquet that did not come to an end. Here we are. I nodded. However, there is one condition, that is, the daughter-in-law can't take He Manzi away. Children are the meat that fell from their mothers, and He Manzi's mother cried her eyes out. Finally, please ferry the willow bucket, nail the old scale, the old carpenter Zheng Duanwu, and open the flower shoe Dusty in the small shop. It is said that after three days and nights, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will decide that He Manzi will be with her grandmother before going to school; It's time for school, and then I'll be reunited with my parents in the city.

He Manzi grew up beside grandma, asking for the stars in the sky, and grandma quickly moved the ladder to pick them. When I was four or five years old, I was like a wild bird that didn't go into a cage. I was not at home all day and ran wildly on the beach all day. Grandma is not at ease, afraid of being bitten by a dog, being caught by an eagle, falling into a dirt well and being abducted by a fly swatter. The old man was on tenterhooks, like a lost soul, and came out around, tearing his throat and shouting at the top of his lungs in front of and behind the village. He Manzi, on the other hand, hid in Liu Kezi's field, in the depths of reeds, under the bean tree in the green tent, playing hide-and-seek with grandma and laughing secretly. When she got home after dark, grandma grabbed the top bar and broke He Manzi's gourd head. He Manzi didn't move, didn't blink. Grandma had to throw the top bar and shouted, "little ancestor!" " I went back to the house and cooked for my grandson. Either boil eggs or bake white cakes.

On this day, He Manzi's grandfather came back. A young woman was talking to the old man, and the old man was unhappy, sighing and complaining, and went to court; Aunt Zhang got angry and scolded the old man for suffering, so she told He Manzi. Grandpa is a hothead. In a rage, he tied He Manzi to the post of the grape trellis and tied him to the thief's buckle, so he couldn't run or fly. Moreover, he threw a paper box in front of him, which contained the words 100 square, a slate and a pencil, and ordered him to write down the words 100 during his lunch break.

It's hard to beat He Manzi. However, for the first time in his life, he lost his freedom, felt wronged and oppressed, his eyes were glassy, his hands were lazy, and he had no interest in writing at all.
