Chapter 1509 The Third Generation King Slap
Ma Yang and Li Ruhai are the same age, and they will both be fifteen when they grow one year older.
In Zhao Jun's family, when talking about age, they use the lunar age instead of the actual age.
Both children were born in 74, their zodiac sign is Tiger, and their five elements are Daxi Water.
The Li family doesn't believe this. Although Li Ruhai's name contains water, it has nothing to do with the five elements. The name Li Ruhai was derived from Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai, when Li Dayong translated his favorite "Dream of Red Mansions".
As for Ma Yang, it can be seen from the mysterious Ma Ling that his family used to believe in those rumors.
So the word "water" in Ma Yang's name corresponds to his fate of Daxi Water.
But Ma Yang had encountered danger several times in his life and almost died in the water.
When Zhao Jun was dating Ma Ling in his previous life, it was in 88, which was the second half of this year.
At that time, Ma Ling complained to Zhao Jun that in the early autumn of last year, Ma Yang went to play in Dongdagou with Dong San, a kid from the East Courtyard. Because the water was too cold, Ma Yang's legs cramped and he almost died in Dongdagou.
So, after Zhao Jun got engaged to Ma Ling last year, he complained to the Ma family, saying that Ma Yang had secretly gone to Dongdagou.
As the water level in Dongdagou rises during the rainy season every summer, all parents strictly forbid their children to go swimming in Dongdagou.
So because Zhao Jun complained, Ma Yang was also dealt with by Ma Dafu. But at that time, Ma Yang had not yet gone to Dongdagou, and the child thought that Zhao Jun was bad for him. But he didn't know that it was Zhao Jun who saved him from trouble.
In Zhao Jun's previous life, before he and Ma Ling divorced, Zhao Jun had a very good relationship with his elder brother-in-law Ma Sheng and younger brother-in-law Ma Yang.
Before Zhao Jun went out to do business, he did not work properly. He would go to the store to play cards when he had free time. In addition, he could earn some extra money from hunting from time to time, so Zhao Jun hid a lot of private money.
Zhao Jun hid these private money in the pile of bamboo shoots outside his house.
People who live in forest areas or rural areas all have the habit of saving firewood. They always have enough firewood to burn for two or three years at home, and some firewood piles are never moved.
Ma Ling didn't know about this private money, but Ma Yang did. Moreover, Zhao Jun let Ma Yang spend it as he pleased, which showed how good the relationship between this brother-in-law and his brother-in-law was.
Zhao Jun remembered that it was in 94. The Chinese New Year was also late that year, and the second day of February was already March.
Early that morning, Ma Yang went to Zhao Jun's house to deliver a message, saying that Wang Cuihua asked the three of them to come over in the evening to eat pork head.
There happened to be two bundles of firecrackers left over from the New Year, so Zhao Jun called Ma Yang and told him that the firecrackers had exploded.
The two of them went out happily, and after walking a few steps, they ran into the Li brothers who were carrying shovels and pickaxes.
When they heard Li Baoyu say that he was going to Dongdagou to catch fish, the four of them rushed to Dongdagou.
As a result, Ma Yang used Lao Li's water tip to perform this trick on the ice that day.
Dongdagou is not a long-flowing river. In winter, the surface of the water freezes over. The thickness of the frozen water is also a matter of fact. If there is a lot of snow this year, the frozen water is thin; if there is little snow, the frozen water is thick.
There was little snow that year, and the frozen ground was more than one and a half meters thick, but no one knew how the firecracker could be so powerful. Zhao Jun saw with his own eyes the cracks on the ice surface.
The snowfall this year is not bad. Two years ago, when Zhao Jun and his team set up nets to shave ice, the thickness of the ice was more than one meter but less than one and a half meters.
The ice this year is not as thick as that year, and Zhao Jun is afraid that his brother-in-law will fall into the ice hole.
Ma Yang is a tiger, not a fool. Seeing the ice crack under his feet, Ma Yang jumped up and ran.
Fortunately, the ice surface was not broken, but seeing Ma Yang running out, Dong San waved his arms and shouted at Ma Yang: "My basin! Why did you throw it away?"
“Fuck you!” Ma Yang started to curse, but Zhao Jun grabbed him by the back of his neck.
"You stinky boy!" Zhao Jun cursed, "You are so arrogant! Are you a bitch?"
"I didn't think it was that powerful." Ma Yang said. Li Ruhai said beside him, "You forgot that we were all overturned by that cart that day."
“You can just show off.” Zhao Jun said, and pushed Ma Yang again, saying, “Wait until I get back and tell my uncle, and I’ll skin you alive!”
"Go ahead and sue me." Ma Yang stiffened his neck and said, "You gave me those two gongs."
“I…” Zhao Jun was speechless. He reached out to grab Ma Yang again, but he dodged him.
"Brother." At this time, Li Ruhai came close to Zhao Jun and said without disguising: "I said your brother-in-law is not very good, right?"
"Get out of the way!" Ma Yang pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "You're everywhere!"
After arguing with Li Ruhai, the boy turned around and greeted Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu politely.
"Third kid, you'd better be careful!" Seeing the third kid Dong going over to pick up the basin, Zhao Jun shouted hurriedly. He didn't know what the cracked ice surface looked like, so he must be careful not to let the child fall into it.
"Brother Jun!" Dong San stopped and turned around to shout, "Water is seeping out."
"Huh?" Upon hearing that, Zhao Jun hurried over to check.
Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu also moved forward, but when they saw cracks under their feet, the Zhao army ordered Zhang Yuanmin to retreat.
At this time, there was a thin layer of water on the ice surface around the basin. Li Baoyu stretched out his arm and used the shovel to pull the basin over, and Dong San boy hurriedly picked it up.
"My basin is deflated!" Dong San boy shouted at Ma Yang, but Ma Yang ignored him.
"Baoyu!" At this time, Zhao Jun said to Li Baoyu, "Try to dig twice."
After saying this, Zhao Jun warned again: "Be careful!"
Li Baoyu swung the pickaxe, and ice cubes and ice chips flew everywhere. The ice surface under the iron basin, which was 70 centimeters in diameter, was severely cracked, and Li Baoyu easily dug a hole in it.
But if you don't dig, given the thickness of the ice, you won't fall through unless you stand there and jump hard.
The center of the firecracker explosion was fine, and there would be even less damage outside. Zhao Jun took a shovel and went forward to scoop up the crushed ice.
As broken ice and water were thrown onto the nearby ice surface, small white insects gradually floated on the water.
Now that these bugs are coming up, the fish must be coming soon.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuanmin used a large shovel to scrape snow from the surrounding area and throw it into the ice hole.
When the snow got into the holes and met water, it turned into ice chips. When the upper layer of snow did not melt, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin used shovels to dig out the snow, water and ice chips.
After three shovels, fish were seen sporadically.
The small loaches and wheat ears flapped their tails on the ice twice, and a layer of white frost appeared on their bodies.
When Li Ruhai came out of his house, he took two fish. Ma Yang said nothing, took one from Li Ruhai, and then bent down to help pick up the fish.
"Brother Jun!" Dong San was a smart kid. He shouted to Zhao Jun, "I'll help you pick it up too."
"Third kid, just pick it up from your basin." Zhao Jun shoveled the ice and fish onto the ice, then turned around and said, "It's yours after you pick it up. Go home and ask your mother to make some fish sauce for you."
Dong San was waiting for Zhao Jun to say this, and he happily joined the team that picked up the fish. He spread his legs, bent over, put the basin between his legs, and used both hands to pick up the fish, faster than Li Ruhai and Ma Yang.
When Ma Yang was about to pick up a small flower loach, a hand reached out from the side and the flower loach disappeared in an instant.
"What are you doing?" Ma Yang glared at Dong San and asked, "Why are you still trying to snatch it?"
Dong Sanzi raised his head and smiled at Ma Yang, then continued to pick up fish.
Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin did not say anything after noticing this. It was Chinese New Year, and everyone should just have fun. There was no need to argue with a child over a little fish.
Another thing is that these fish are not domesticated, so if you don’t have the capital, you can just use your hands. They are from the village, how many can that kid pick up?
In addition, the family of Dong Sanzi is in a very difficult situation. He is the third child, with an older sister, two older brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister. The whole family depends on his father's salary, and they can't even have anything to eat during the Chinese New Year.
After working for nearly twenty minutes and seeing that no more fish were coming out of the ice hole in large numbers, Zhao Jun asked everyone to move the battlefield.
"Brother!" Li Baoyu called Zhao Jun. He was leaning on the pickaxe with one hand and pointing at the ice hole with the other, saying, "I'll throw a firecracker in there!"
"Go ahead and throw it." Zhao Jun saw that Li Baoyu was in the mood to play, so he did not stop him. Instead, he called to the people around him, "Let's quickly take it back."
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Dong San shouted as he continued to pick up fish. There were still a few small fish scattered on the ice, and Li Ruhai and Ma Yang had stopped picking them up, but the boy was still picking them up.
“Throw it, Brother Li!” Ma Yang called out to Li Baoyu and jokingly said, “Blast him!”
Li Baoyu chuckled and waited until Dong San finished picking up the fish and ran away with the basin. Then Li Baoyu took the firecracker in one hand and the cigarette in his mouth with the other hand and lit the fuse.
Normally in the 1980s and 1990s, whether it was firecrackers or double-kick firecrackers, people did not put them on the ground and then ignite them. They were set off by hand.
Because people believe that setting off firecrackers without holding them with your hands is disrespectful to them.
There is no such custom in Yong'an. It was because in 84, a man in Yonglitun got drunk during the Chinese New Year and when he went out to set off firecrackers, he held the firecracker tightly and refused to let go.
Normally, you hold the firecracker lightly with your thumb and index finger. When the firecracker goes off for the first time, the flash of fire will shoot up into the sky without hurting your hands.
And that day, half of his palm was broken.
From then on, whenever any man or child in the Yong'an Forest District set off firecrackers like that, the old ladies in his family would chase after him and scold him.
Just in just two years, I managed to change that bad habit.
At this time, Li Baoyu was not holding the firecracker, but lighting it. The fuse of the double-kick firecracker was not short, and sparks flew when it was lit.
When the fuse was just one centimeter away from the end, Li Baoyu threw it into the ice hole, then turned and ran.
"Bang!" The firecrackers exploded as soon as they touched water, splashing icy water everywhere. Then the firecrackers soared into the sky and exploded in mid-air.
It's really strange, these people think this is fun. Zhao Jun said that the firecrackers were jumping upwards just now, and they wanted to see what it would look like if the firecrackers drilled into the water.
Then, Zhang Yuanmin stood in front of the ice hole, holding the firecracker upside down. When the fuse was lit, he let go of the firecracker and it exploded when it touched the water.
With the first sound, icy water flew everywhere; with the second sound, the icy water rushed up more than one meter high, splashing ice chips everywhere.
An ear of wheat fell in front of Zhao Jun's feet. When it fell on the ice, the ear of wheat didn't even move. It was unknown whether it was knocked unconscious or killed.
The group of people moved to another place. Li Baoyu swung his pickaxe to dig a hole in the ice. Then he stuffed a double-fired firecracker into it, pressed snow and ice on top, and lit the firecracker. Then he saw snowflakes flying everywhere, which was a very beautiful sight.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Jun couldn't help but sigh. If there were no mobile phones now, he would have to record a video.
The three adults took the three children to play for the whole morning, and they went home at around 1:00 p.m.
The four hours were not spent just playing. Although the two feeding baskets were not full, they still contained most of the fish. The basin in Dong San's arms was even fuller.
As they walked home, Dong Sanzi said goodbye to Zhao Jun and others. Ma Yang and his family lived in the east and west courtyards, so it was time for Ma Yang to part ways with Zhao Jun.
"Xiaoyang." Zhao Jun handed a feeding Luo to Ma Yang. Ma Yang dodged and before he could say anything, Zhao Jun said, "Take it home. We only need that one shot."
Ma Yang refused until Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin told him to take it. Only then did Ma Yang take it and feed De Luo away.
Just after separating from the two children, Zhao Jun and his friends turned a corner and saw Wang Fu's grocery store in front of them.
They didn't need to buy anything, they were just passing by. But at this time, Zhao Jun and his four companions saw an acquaintance.
The whole village is full of acquaintances, or to be more precise, family members.
But if it were adults like Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, and Jin Xiaomei, it would be fine. Zhao Jun and the others were looking at Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, Li Xiaoqiao, Wang Tian, Wang Xue, Xiao Lingdang, and Lin Xiaobao.
This is something new!
Nowadays, it is normal for children to go crazy and run around outside. Not only boys, but also girls.
But the children in these families are different. These seven children have good food and drink at home, TV to watch, stuffed toys to play with, crayons to draw with, and small pets to pet.
Compared to these, those games of running around and making noise outside really have no appeal to them.
However, if these children want to go out and play, there is no need to worry at home.
But seeing these kids trying to get into the store, something was wrong. Not to mention that the store had everything, they also had everything at home. The key point was, how could these kids have the money?
"Ring!" Zhang Yuanmin called out, and Zhang Lingling, who was about to open the door for her three aunts, was startled.
Several children in front of the convenience store looked at Zhao Jun and his four companions. Among them, Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao had strange expressions.
"What are you going to do?" Li Baoyu asked the children, "What do you want to buy?"
When he asked this, Li Xiaoqiao came back to his senses and ran to Li Baoyu and said, "Brother, we want to buy a piece of (pià) skill."
"Movie skills?" The four Zhao Juns were stunned. Zhang Yuanmin was even more surprised and asked, "Is there anyone selling that thing?"
Film art is a kind of children's entertainment in Northeast China, to put it bluntly, it is a toy.
At first, this thing was made by children themselves, and the method was simple. Just take two rectangular pieces of paper, fold their long sides in half and cross them together. Then fold the four sides of the paper inward and interweave them to form a square thick paper.
When playing, the winner is decided by rock-paper-scissors. The loser throws a piece of paper on the ground and the winner hits it first.
The so-called fan is to throw the sword to the ground with the sword in hand. The sword throws down a gust of wind, and if it can flip the opponent's sword over, the opponent's sword will change hands.
If you fail to hit him, the opponent will hit him again until the game is won.
Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and others all played with this thing when they were young.
In order to prepare for filming, Zhao Jun tore up his textbooks and was beaten up by Zhao Youcai.
The reason why Zhao Youcai beat Zhao Jun was not because he did not take good care of the textbooks, but because Zhao Jun had used up the textbooks and Li Baoyu would need them after the New Year.
Later, Zhao Jun didn't dare to tear the book at random. He only tore a page every ten pages or so.
This resulted in Li Baoyu sometimes not having the next page when he was in class. Therefore, Li Baoyu once joked that he was not good at studying because his brother tore up his books, making it impossible for him to study well.
When Zhao Jun heard Li Xiaoqiao say that she wanted to buy some film, he knew that it must be pictures from the south.
A group of people rushed into the store, and the room was filled with smoke and shouting.
It’s boring to stay at home during the New Year, so many men come out to play cards and chess.
When they saw some people, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin would go over and say hello.
At this time, Li Ruhai brought seven children to the counter.
Seven children stood in a row. Wang Xue and Lin Xiaobao were not even as tall as the counter, so they raised their arms and held the edge of the counter with their hands.
"What do you want to buy?" The proprietress looked at the children and her face was full of wrinkles.
Although the Zhao family bought many things from the city, it was Zhao Jun's family that spent the most in this store this year.
"Aunt Wang!" Zhao Hong raised her hand, pointed at the two stacks of pictures hung up with big clips, and said, "I want to buy some!"
"Ah." Yang Xue turned her head and took a quick look, then turned back to Zhao Hong and said, "Hong, do you want a square one or a round one? Auntie will get it for you."
There are two kinds of picture cards in the store, both made of thin paper. The large square one can be divided into 83 small ones, and the characters on them are printed based on the edition of "Heroes of the Storm".
The round ones can be divided into 25 small sheets. The characters on them are printed based on the cartoon "Black Cat Sheriff".
If it was a child of Li Ruhai's age, he would definitely buy Huo Yuanjia's. But Zhao Hong's age group basically bought Black Cat Sheriff's.
But facing Yang Xue's question, Zhao Hong raised her left hand that was resting on the counter and said, "I want them all!"
"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Jun and the other two were still chatting with others, while Li Ruhai was sitting at the counter with a few children.
He was standing behind Zhao Hong, so he didn't see the expression on Zhao Hong's face when she spoke. But when he heard what Zhao Hong said and her actions, Li Ruhai was stunned, and felt that they were familiar.
"Ah?" Yang Xue was also startled, but then she realized that her daughter wanted it to be both round and square.
Yang Xue turned around and took off the clip. The big clip was made of iron and had holes on the pinch point so it could be hung on the hook.
Yang Xue took down the stack of square pictures, turned around and asked Zhao Hong, "How many do you want?"
Without waiting for the other children to speak, Zhao Hong raised her left hand that was resting on the counter again and said, "Give me all of them."
"This..." Yang Xue was stunned again. She blinked and felt that the gestures and tone of voice were familiar.
Zhao Hong held the counter with both hands. When she put her left hand down, she raised her right hand and pointed at the round picture hanging on the shelf behind her, saying, "Give me those too!"
Li Ruhai, Yang Xue: "..."
I saw the ice collapse with my own eyes. The ice, which was more than one meter thick, really collapsed and cracked.
