The Big Landlord

At noon, I ate old pumpkin stewed dry rice. It is said that if you eat old pumpkin on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you will not be bitten by mad dogs when the rapeseed flowers bloom. Therefore, every household will save a few pumpkins for this day. I know that Wang Ben’s family has none. Fei Cui brought one piece when she came to tutor Linglong in the morning, and Tuesday Niang and the other two villagers also brought one piece, but they couldn't finish it.

Zijian and Zhanwu came one after another, and Qikou suggested to steal young people at night. Wang Ben readily agreed without thinking about it. He hadn't participated in this kind of lively nighttime activity exclusive to teenagers for many years, so he had to think about it.

Get on the motorcycle, go to Xiaoxing Town, and prepare all the things needed for stealing youths. Zijian and Zhan Wu then go to inform the teenagers in the village to gather at Wang Ben's house at night. The more the more the more noisy.

After dinner, the vast majority of young people in the village gathered in the courtyard of Wang Ben’s family. There were more than 30 people in total. The younger ones were seven or eight years old, and the older ones were less than twenty. The age gap was too big to play together. They discussed for a while. Afterwards, the people were divided into two teams, one team over the age of 14, went to the team on the left of Xiushui Bay to steal, and a team of children, went to the right along Xiushui Bay to steal, the two teams played separately, and the things they needed were provided by others. Provided by Ben Wang.

Taking advantage of the bright moon, the team set off in a mighty way. The boys were in charge of stealing young girls, and the girls watched TV at home first, waiting for the winning team to return victorious.

Grab two handfuls of straw and hold it in your hand, and walk in the fields of Xiushuiwan. Whenever you come to a vegetable field, no matter whose family it is, light a handful of straw and throw it in, which means that the pests in the field will be burned to death. Get a good harvest.

Laughing and laughing all the way to the neighboring team, I began to search for vegetable fields everywhere, stealing greens, as the name suggests, is stealing greens, in fact, the team can also steal, but people are too familiar to steal.

"Hey, the cauliflower here is so big and blossoming!" Zijian was the first to spot the target, shouted joyfully, and jumped into the vegetable field, and three or four other boys jumped in together, touching, Take a look at that, pick the big ones, and uproot the flowers and leaves directly.

"Don't finish picking it for me," an old lady hurried over when she heard the sound, and said softly with a smile on her face. She is the owner of this vegetable field.

"No, I will definitely leave you two to watch," Wang Ben waved his hand and said, causing the people in the company to laugh. Stealing is so blatant, and only tonight.

"..." The aunt's face was so bad that she got home, but she dared not speak out, she was so regretful, she knew that she should have taken them all back home during the day, but on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, someone came to steal the greens from the vegetable field, Even if you find it, you can't scold it, otherwise you will scold your bad luck.

"Ma'am, I'm just kidding you," Wang Ben said with a smile. In the end, it was just that Zijian and the others picked four or five flowers and settled down, and no one went to the field anymore.

Continue to walk around the mountains and plains, pick a few vegetables once you fancy a certain vegetable, and you won’t steal too much from each field, so that the host can accept it. Not good, besides, stealing too much of the same kind of dish, you can’t finish it at all.

Tender and oily pea tips should be served in large quantities, this dish has always been the most popular; green spinach and crunchy lettuce must be served; The tips of the vegetables have to be broken off; lettuce only needs leaves, and the stems are too troublesome to mash, so they simply leave it in the field for others; two Chinese cabbage and two small cabbages are heavy to hold in the arms; seasoned shallots, Garlic seedlings are also indispensable. As the saying goes, if you steal vegetables, you can get rich; if you steal green onions, you will become smart; if you steal garlic, you will be good at counting.

wandering around for half an hour,

Everyone's hands were full, and they stole more than a dozen kinds of vegetables in total, and the harvest was very rich.

Satisfied, they returned to Xiushui Village and prepared to have a sumptuous bonfire party. The stolen vegetables could not be brought in or stored overnight. They had to be destroyed in the wild that night. This was also the main reason for choosing to gather at Wang Ben’s house The reason is that only all the things in his family can be taken out at will.

Greeting outside the door, the girls happily followed out with the pots, pans, seasonings, iron buckets, twigs and firewood that they had prepared earlier, and went to the gathering place by the Mengxi River together. The girls started After washing the vegetables, the boys started to set up the stove, making arrangements in an orderly manner.

The strong flames are ignited, and the fragrant hot pot base is put into the pot, and the fragrance is blown in the wild with the wind, which can be smelled from far away.

More than a dozen men and women sat down around the pot, scalded two vegetables in the tumbling pot, carefully put them in their mouths, and tasted them carefully. In addition to the stolen vegetables, Wang Ben also specially prepared ham, Sausage and bacon, as well as potatoes and lotus roots that girls love.

There is no food without wine. I bought two bottles of Wenjun in the small shop of the little widow Wu Yulan. The boys took turns blowing on the bottles, took a small sip, and then passed it to another person. Wu Yulan yelled while buying wine. He wanted to join in the fun, but was directly rejected by Wang Ben. This is a festival for teenagers, and married people should stay aside.

While slowly eating the dishes, they take turns performing the show, one tells a joke, the other sings a song, soaked in the warm breeze of early spring, and laughs and laughs from time to time, if you like someone in your heart, you can chat and strike up a conversation , This is the ultimate meaning of stealing youth.

Zi Jian sang Jacky Cheung's goodbye kiss, and cast his affectionate eyes on Fei Cui, seeing Fei Cui blushing and leaning towards Wang Ben; Zhan Wu sang Hacken Lee's Red Sun, and his Cantonese was quite substandard. The voice was like an old scalper; the young and lovely Fei Cui danced a dance, which caused the crowd to applaud and cheer, Zijian raised his eyes to look straight, and Wang Benchun's heart fluttered and his head worked harder.

"Book, it's your turn."

It was Wang Ben's turn to perform, and everyone's eyes fell on him, and they all began to urge him.

What would be a good performance? I raised my head and thought about it, and sang a high-pitched song called "I Want to Love You If You Die." After singing it so soul-stirringly, her voice became hoarse, and everyone shook their heads and tails in a daze.

"Brother Benzi, what song is this, why haven't I heard it before?" Fei Cui, who was beside her, frowned and frowned curiously.

"Which singer sang it?" Zijian, who thought he was living in the city and knew the current pop songs like the back of his hand, looked at a loss.

This is a song more than ten years later. Of course, everyone has never heard it. Wang Ben smiled secretly in his heart.

The youth stealing party lasted until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and everyone went home unsatisfied. The Spring Festival ended, and most people would leave in the next few days. Only in the village can I make such a fuss at will. I don't know if I will be at home when I steal the youth next year.
