Pig official joke

In the sixth chapter of Hulan River Biography, the author focuses on the character You. In addition, the author also has an essay "People Outside the Home", which is also about two uncles.

Xiaohong's family has a second uncle, a long-term worker.

This character who lives like a joke makes people want to cry.

one

"There are two childhood ... but speaking of it, he seems to have no childhood.

A three-month-old baby can already recognize the mother's smell. Two uncles lost their mothers when they were three months old.

A six-month-old baby can make a babble sound. Two uncles lost their father when they were six months old.

He lived in his uncle's house until he was seven years old. At the age of seven, Xiaohong had a grandfather, a back garden and friends. She is still a carefree child.

Two uncles are seven years old, but they have started to support themselves. He went up the mountain to feed the pigs. Go at dawn and come back at sunset. Only bring two rice balls for lunch a day.

There were wolves on the mountain at that time. He was bitten by a wolf and was too scared to put the pig away. But after some beating, I dare not go. Two "said:

"Be a child in your own home ... be an adult in others ..."

Since then, he has come of age. I don't tell anyone about my pain and tears, and no one can say it.

Later, he fed horses to others.

In a flash, he was thirty years old.

two

When Bo Er was thirty, Xiaohong's grandfather took him home.

He worked for a long time.

Every morning, he ties up his luggage, as if he were ready to travel at any time.

But he won't travel. He just doesn't have a permanent residence.

"Today, I live in the powder room where Kaka is ringing, and tomorrow, I will live on the kang of the little swineherd who raises pigs. The day after tomorrow, I may sleep with Feng in the back mill with a crooked mouth. Anyway, he sleeps wherever he is free. "

Powder house owners, pig farmers and Feng Waizui are all tenants, renting Xiao Hong's house. They're all rough people. They can't afford to rent a good house, but at least they have a shelter from the wind and rain. However, the houses that open the powder room are about to collapse, and they can't cover the wind and rain. However, at least it is also a nest of its own.

East or west, home is the best.

But two uncles don't even have their own nests.

I don't know how many years later, maybe after my second uncle got old, Xiaohong's family built three rooms next to the main house for him to live in.

He finally has his own home.

But this is not his real home. Because of home, people can go back if they want.

The gate of the yard is often locked. A second uncle wanted to go home and saw the door locked, so he asked the cook at home to open it for him. But the cook didn't listen to him, because he was a long-term worker, not a master.

Xiao Hong sometimes wants to open it when she hears it. Her stepmother grabbed her and said:

"You don't have to be diligent! Let him stand for a while, don't eat his rice ... "

Even later, Xiaohong's mother locked all three doors.

So, the two uncles had to climb over the wall to go home. But he is over sixty years old and his bones are hard. So every time he climbed over the wall, he would fall heavily on the ground, covered in blood. The cook looked at it and said,

"Your blood is so fresh ... I think it doesn't matter if you lose two more ..."

Whose home is it? It hurts when you fall, and you can only go back if you bleed.

Therefore, this is not Bo Er's home after all.

He also knows that he is not "family". Although the chef sometimes makes fun of him, they are actually the same, not "family".

There are two uncles, who are less and less liked as they get older. So one day, he packed his things and seemed to be leaving.

Xiaohong asked him, and he said, "This is not your second uncle's house." .

But he didn't leave either. He said, "Your uncle has no home elsewhere."

three

Two uncles are very poor.

His quilt is very worn, and cotton will fall off when he moves. The buckwheat husk in his pillow will flow out when it moves.

His straw hat has only a crown, but no brim. So his head is black and white: his hair is gray, but his face is tanned.

His clothes are second-hand goods from the Qing Dynasty. It turns out that this dress is in Grandpa Xiaohong's box. Later, Xiaohong's grandmother died, and these old clothes were put on you Bo Er.

"There is a second uncle walking in the street, I don't know which dynasty it is."

His trousers are always rolled up, like a cultivator who has just returned from transplanting rice. I think these pants may belong to someone else, too.

The shoes of the two uncles either fell off the bottom or lacked heels. He can't repair it himself, so his shoes always rattle when he walks, and his feet always seem to be on the ground.

Once, Xiaohong went to the wing and saw two uncles take off their broken shoes and sit in front of the fire to keep warm. Xiaohong also took off her little shoes and prepared to sit like him. He saw, love dearly of say:

"You kid ... new shoes and new seats ..."

Xiaohong asked him how his shoes fit. He said:

"Sit or not, all the same, it doesn't matter! Wear for two years ... "

As he spoke, he suddenly became angry. He remembers that he had no shoes when he was so old. ...

Everyone should dress and eat. "There are two worn-out clothes and hats, but they can barely cover the body. However, rice is sometimes not available. Xiaohong's family is very rich. Uncle can sweep away the discarded steamed bread every time he sweeps the floor. But when he was a child, he couldn't even touch the edge of a steamed bun.

Once at dinner, a little dog sat in Bo Er's seat, and Xiaohong's mother also fed him meat.

In others' eyes, there are two uncles who eat their food. Xiao Hong's mother once scolded him:

"Who did you eat for the rest of your life? ... have you thought about it? You can't sleep and think about it ... you have bones. Don't eat other people's food? Begging is too sour ... "

Xiaohong doesn't believe that her second uncle is so poor. On returning to the park, Xiaohong wanted to see the elephants.

It costs tens of dollars to buy tickets for two people to see elephants. Uncle said he couldn't stand it without money. Xiaohong opened her pocket and found only five or six coppers. It turns out that there are two uncles who can't make money except occasionally playing a small card to win a few money.

And the only way to make money-playing cards, mostly lose money.

Two uncles sometimes steal from the main house. I think it may be because I lost money.

He stole a copper hip flask, a tin hot pot, big copper coins, a pipe mouth ... once, he stole a big bathtub. This bathtub is big and deep. Two people put it upside down on their heads, and only the part below the waist was exposed. He can't see the road ahead and walks askew.

This kind of stealing technique is so bad that people often find it. The old cook always makes fun of him for stealing. Later, whenever something was lost at home, everyone said that it was stolen by two uncles.

As a result, when it comes to money, the two uncles fall into an infinite loop: playing cards when they are poor, stealing when they lose money, being caught stealing, and finally becoming poor.

Having two uncles is really poor.

But as the saying goes, people are not poor. Although there are two uncles who steal things, at other times, they are very dignified people.

Xiao Hong was originally named Zhang Naiying. Some people say that Sir Zhong belongs to the Zhang family, but their family was lost early. Anyway, with Sir Zhong, it is different from other servants and outsiders. He thinks he should be between master and servant.

"As soon as he was called' Two Shopkeepers', he was all smiles. Call him' Master You',' Master You' and' Uncle You' all the same. "

However, the children in the street made up some words to laugh at him:

"Yes, Sir Zhong, a prostitute." "There are two uncles, Paddle." "There are two masters who catch chinemys reevesii."

It seems that his status is not very noble.

"Wanderer" is his real name.

Generally speaking, when people grow up, this nickname can be called out by their parents at most.

There is naturally a distinction between masters. Tenants also have their own businesses. Only this is the second uncle, which seems to be the lowest.

So although he is over 60 years old, some people still call him by his real name.

Xiaohong's grandfather called him by his real name, but he was used to it. He didn't mean to belittle him. Two uncles are not angry with grandpa.

When Xiaohong's father scolded him, he called him "You Er". He doesn't seem angry either, because he doesn't dare.

But others call them by their real names, and having two uncles is the most taboo.

When the old chef quarreled with him, he said:

"I think once I lose my master, there is only one word left."

The pronunciation of the word "You" is the same as that of "Youzi", and the second uncle got into a fight with the cook as soon as he heard it.

When the old chef is happy, he will say:

"Sir Zhong, I see you have a word" yes "on your head. It's not just" Sir Zhong ",is it?"

Hearing this, the second uncle was happy again.

He seems really worthy of respect. During the Russo-Japanese War, everyone in the city fled except him. At that time, people called Russians "Russians". This Russian is riding a horse and holding a big knife, killing people without blinking an eye. A second uncle said that he stayed at home and was not afraid. When the Russian knocked on the door and shouted to ask if there was anyone in the house, two uncles were eating at home.

In fact, he was "shaking and shaking" with fear.

As for why you say you are not afraid, it may be a good face.

But such a person who wants dignity and face saving is often beaten by Xiaohong's father. Sometimes, I play in the yard.

He was knocked to the ground, and everyone he knew and didn't know came to watch the fun.

He was killed. The duck came running and pecked his blood.

Maybe a person's life is so cheap that even animals can bully him.

Even wild animals will bully him. I think two uncles have no dignity.

During the Russo-Japanese War, it was true that he was not afraid of falsehood and risked his life to protect his family business.

When he was beaten and wronged, he cried alone in the wing. He said to himself:

"Those who are bold and not afraid of death, when they hear that Russia, Russia and Russia are coming, just want to run for their lives, even their possessions are gone. If it hadn't been for this timid guard, I would have no pants to wear back. Now, I am full and warm, and I don't even think about cause and effect. I have long forgotten. "

He said sadly:

"Conscience grows on the ribs, and" dirty "dysentery, the man in the iron mask ..."

There are two uncles who value "conscience" very much.

He lost his mother for three months, and the sheep fed him, so he regarded the sheep as a benefactor. To put it mildly, he even respects the sheep as his mother.

He hates being called a "wanderer", but it's nothing compared with eating mutton.

"I didn't know I had it once the year before last ... but then I knew I was ill for more than half a month ... and then my neck hurt ..."

The sore may be irritated because I feel sorry for my conscience.

"It's nothing to eat mutton once ... I just can't let it go. It seems that I have my conscience ... I don't do anything against my conscience ... I can't bear to regret it. I don't eat mutton for two reasons ... "

The second uncle is really a man with a conscience.

He always said that "one should know one's origin" and "one should appreciate one's kindness", so he was grateful to every sheep.

But the people around him are different from him.

The old chef made him mutton soup and lied to him that it was another kind of soup. The two uncles drank several bowls. The old cook ran outside and told people that he was hypocritical and drank so much mutton soup that he didn't eat sheep.

However, there are two uncles who don't like the cook after all, and there is nothing wrong with bullying him.

What saddens Bo Er most is that his master bullied him. He is timid, but he tries his best to save the family business. Xiaohong's parents are not only ungrateful, but also bully him and treat him like a human being.

Xiaohong's mother called him a "bitch".

But there are only a handful of people left in old bones, but they know how to grieve.

He is sad and has nothing to say, said Xiaohong, the child. He lifted the mat and there was more than an inch of millet under it. One inch is more than three centimeters. This kind of thick and damp millet is spread under the mat, not to mention an old man in his sixties, even a strong young man, who is afraid that he can't stand this cold and wet.

"Isn't it obvious to kick me out ... low back pain ... no one saw it ... remember this warm kang ..."

Xiaohong's family said that Xiaomi was wet and there was no millet to eat, so he should be baked on the kang.

His clothes are thin and torn, and now this kang can't keep warm. The winter in the northeast is so cold, but his family only has frost and snow on the window lattice and a cold heart.

"This year ... nowhere to say ... nowhere to say ... others can't see ..."

There are two conscientious uncles, but he seems to be disappointed in people's hearts.

six

I don't know why, he became a very strange person.

He doesn't like talking to people.

He likes chatting with birds in the sky and rhubarb dog. Even if he stumbles over a stone on the road, he will lower his head and talk to it for a while.

"You this boy, I don't think you have eyes, also like me, is blind ..."

Finally say goodbye to the stone, don't forget to charge him:

"Next time, you should touch the feet of the boat socks with your shoes."

There are two uncles who like to scold.

When no one answered the door, he blamed the old cook:

"Dead as a doornail? Are everyone dead? "

The family beat him and bullied him, and he scolded:

"brutal and cold blooded, brutal and cold blooded, popular drink spicy. Good people these days, are all bastards, rabbit high posture ... "

Even Xiao Hong scolded when she was angry:

"Roll ... furtive ... what? Your house is full of rats. "

Sometimes, he even scolds himself:

"Son of a bitch ... rabbit ... poor life ... dog life ... is not a person ... what are the shortcomings of people ..."

He even called himself a straw hat without a brim:

"... bastard ... what is this ... for you ... nobody! Summer is not cold, winter is not cold ... "

Xiaohong's parents can't stand a servant swearing all day. Her father scold a way:

"There are two ... you bastard ... all day, what are you scolding ... eating and drinking, and fighting for life ... you are an ancestor!"

Xiaohong's father scolded his uncle's ancestors, indicating that there are still uncles and ancestors.

However, he may be ashamed to meet his ancestors. Because he doesn't even have a home, he is doomed to die.

He actually likes children very much. Once, Xiaohong was chased and beaten by her stepmother. She ran to the tree to hide. Yes, my second uncle said he would take her to the park and pulled her down from the tree.

But he's dying!

As soon as the old cook called him "old man", his second uncle burst into tears. He said:

"Are you? Dead, not even a man who added soil to the grave. A person's life is a waste of time, but it will eventually be empty ... homeless, unemployed, and there is not even a mourner when he dies. "

Maybe there are too many sad things. At night, there is always crying in Bo Er's wing.

He will cry. Once he took Xiao Hong to play and saw the singer sing "Guan Yu beheaded Cai Yang", and he shed a few tears. Maybe it's for Cai Yang.

But no one cares what he cries when he is alone.

However, when he hanged himself and jumped into the well, people came running.

The night Xiaohong's father beat Bo Er, the cook said that Bo Er hanged himself.

He tied the rope to the beam. When people found him, they found him sitting under the wall, not crying or cursing.

Xiao Hong saw his eyes were red. Probably crying red.

Soon, two uncles jumped into the well again. However, there is still no success. People went to look for him and found him sitting on a woodpile far away from the wellhead, smoking a cigarette with a tobacco pouch and a small tobacco pouch. I wonder if he was afraid of not seeing the wellhead and even brought a candle.

You have to live if you don't die.

When Xiaohong goes to school,

"There were two uncles who later disappeared."

seven

There are two uncles who are one person. He has a conscience and dignity, and sometimes he talks about equality with his master, because he thinks that everyone is raised by his parents and is the same.

But two uncles don't live like one person. It doesn't matter that he has no parents, no home and no money. But he can't get his dignity, but he is always bullied by his conscience. He likes children, but he won't die.

So, he became a very strange person. He is always cursing, always crying and arguing to death.

But he's not dead.

As a person, the instinct of life tells him to live. He lost his mother for three months and drank goat's milk until he was sixty. He didn't do anything wrong. He is a man with a conscience.

He must live.

But how can he live? Who can tell him how to live?

Will you lose your conscience?

Or lose your dignity?

He walked alone in this world this time, as if to find this answer.

But no one knows the answer.

Even if an extremely clever man knew, he wouldn't tell him.

A "inhuman" person like him doesn't seem to need to know how to live.

The cause of death is clear, because he is ill and he is old.

So he finally died.

I don't know if my analysis is correct. If you have other ideas, please share them in the comments section.
