Chapter 110 Southwest Mandarin
"Those who travel from village to town to sing social operas are the 'troupe'. If one member of the troupe is not in good shape and leads the whole troupe to fail, then it is called a 'dirty troupe'" , it originally means to be embarrassed!”
“I’ll write it down carefully, and here’s another missing word, “to carry,” which means to be involved…”
< br>Father Mu watched for a while: "Elbow, what are you doing?"
Mother Mu couldn't help laughing, she held the spatula in her hand and rubbed it with her arm. Tears of laughter burst into tears: "This kid came in and asked all those old sayings. I almost couldn't remember a lot of them. I only remembered them after he mentioned them. He even remembered them seriously. It was so funny... ”
"Hey! You're serious about stock trading!" Zhou Zhi lowered his head: "Here comes another one. I've gained a lot today! Thank you, aunt!"
"Hahahaha..." Mu's mother couldn't even order any more bean curds, so she added He handed the spatula to Mu's father, holding the cupboard with one hand and covering his stomach with the other: "I can't do it anymore...I'm going to laugh out loud..."
"You should pour the blame into the pot!" Mu's father was also brought into the context, and his own dialect also came out: "The widow is haha Laugh, I can’t kill him!”
Zhou Zhi already felt like he was about to die! He was so crazy that he kept recording frantically while muttering to himself: "Chutuo, the meaning of death, should be 'poke off'. Poke chise is in the ancient Yin Tongjie. Su Dongpo called himself a 'jie monk' and was demoted to Huangzhou and wrote a letter to the Buddha's seal. "Monk Jie is chiseling off again now", this is why Jiachuan originated from the southwest of the Song Dynasty Proof of Mandarin..."
"Jinge, the original word should be alert, the 'ge' here is the entry sound, and the pronunciation of the Cantonese word 'jue' is almost the same, and the same as 'Xiheng', this It is also clear evidence that ancient sayings have been spread and preserved in the two places..."
"Sha cut, it should come from the Jiachuan long pai term. The second long pai is called 'sha beard', and the end of a game is called 'cut'..."
Mu's father saw Zhou Zhi recording very seriously, I knew that maybe this kid was really doing something serious, and that he might have really misunderstood him just now.
However, this cannot be blamed on Father Mu, because my mother-in-law is often laughed at by outsiders for her dialect.
But he still couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his misunderstanding just now: "Elbow?"
Zhou Zhi turned to the first page of his notebook and showed it to Mu's father: "Uncle Mu, Auntie, I am doing an investigation. , Jiachuan dialect field investigation. Jiachuan County is now seriously polluted by Mandarin and foreign languages. Auntie’s pure Jiachuan dialect is a treasure trove for me. ”
"Is this... serious knowledge?"
"Of course it is, the serious kind of stock trading!" Seeing Mu's mother about to laugh again, Zhou Zhi said: "Auntie, don't laugh, anyway, where have I been these two days? If you don’t even want to go, I’ll knock you over and ask you to come to the hall. Don’t blame me for being the pick of the bunch. There are so many lights!”
"Hahahaha..." Mother Mu's smile seemed to be low, but now she couldn't help it anymore, she pointed at him and said: "I don't care about elbow's dialect, as long as you don't mind my cuddling, my dear I'll show you enough! Hahahaha..."
...
...
When Mu Ruyun came back from taking her classmates for a tour, she saw her mother and Zhou Zhi sitting on a bench outside the main room. They were talking and taking notes, and bursts of happy laughter came from time to time during the conversation.
Now my mother is simply radiant, she seems to be several years younger, and she looks just as good as Zhou Zhi when she was smiling and talking to Yan Yan, just like a mother and son who have a good relationship.
Mu Ruyun was completely stunned - this turtle... I have only been gone for a while... and someone... wants to usurp the throne?
Mu Ruyun knew my mother's character. Because she had a strong accent and was afraid of other people's jokes, it was difficult for her to speak out in front of outsiders.
Look at that posture now, it’s my mother who is giving the lecture!
Mu Ruyun looked up at the sky in confusion. Did the sun come out from the west today?
"I'm back! Let's have some lunch then!" Mother Mu smiled and stood up, and pulled Zhou Zhi up by the way: "You made me so happy today, elbow. Let's take over after dinner. !”
“Mom! What did he do?” Mu Ruyun was very angry, your son is here!
“Didn’t you say that I speak uncouth?” Mother Mu was very proud now: “I’m so smart, but I still picked up a book to make a profit! Humph!”
After saying that, he went to prepare the meal, leaving Mu Ruyun there as if he was struck by lightning.
Mom, that last snort... was... was it... coquettish?
When Father Mu brought out a wine jar, Zhou Zhi knew that none of the men here would be able to escape today.
Plum wine, when poured out, has a color similar to wine. Adding rock sugar is sour and sweet, and it tastes extremely delicious.
So when I drink it, I just feel it tastes good, and I can’t feel the alcohol content. When I start to feel a little drunk, hahaha... By then it’s already too late.
It has great stamina, and few people who drink it for the first time can avoid getting drunk.
"Girls can do as they please, boys as they please!" Mu's father said decisively, and then began to pour tons of wine into a soup basin: "We won't drink much at noon today, just this basin."
The boys looked at each other in confusion. Is this the unit of measurement for drinking in the forest farm?
The food is pretty good, with old cured pork with bean curd serving as the main dish, as well as scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, fried mushrooms with dry peppers and dried cowpeas, chicken with pickled peppers, and fried chicken with green peppers and fungus.
Fried chicken is a dish that is very rare to eat nowadays. Generally, chicken is a main dish in every family. If it is served as a stir-fry dish like this in the Mu family, it is usually only Two possibilities.
Firstly, this family is rich, and secondly, this family raises chickens.
Of course, the Mu family has a third possibility - they are rich and they also raise a lot of chickens.
Because they were all classmates and juniors, the old rule of the hostess not coming to the table was no longer necessary. Mu’s mother also sat next to Mu’s father, and even took the initiative to pull Zhou Zhi to sit next to her.
Indeed, we can’t blame Mu’s mother for being partial. Mu Ruyun wanted to sit next to his father and take care of the wine table. The main reason why he invited Zhou Zhi here was because it was easy for this kid to chat and he could talk freely.
A simple bowl of wine can turn a table full of men into dead dogs.
Except for Mu Dad’s style, he is indeed a veteran.
Zhou Zhi is still sober in the world because of his great assistance. Mu Ma's drinking capacity may be even more arrogant than Mu Dad's, and she did not refuse Zhou Zhi to ask her for help after receiving the wine. Zhou Zhi secretly poured it into her wine bowl and she pretended not to notice, which is quite a bit like "A scholar will die for his confidant, and a woman will die for her." The mentality of "the one who pleases himself will look good" is in it.
I’m afraid this metaphor is not very appropriate, but that’s what it means.
But the rest are not good, the worst ones are Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao was taught how to be a good person in minutes because she was too dancing.
Fang Wenyu was the son of an old friend, and Mu's father believed that not keeping Fang Wenyu well would be a disservice to his old comrade.
The girls are actually pretty much the same, mainly because Ye Xin was a bad leader, making them think that plum wine might be like wine.
Fortunately, Ye Xin kept controlling their dosage, and in the end, Ye Xin, Mu Ruyun and Zhou Zhi carried them one by one to the room upstairs.
When he put He Yongmei on the bed, He Yongmei still held Zhou Zhi's hand and smiled stupidly: "Elbow, Yan Xiao and I have to hide in a hole to play hide and seek. I'm really happy..."
< br>"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Zhi said perfunctorily: "Even after drinking like this, you still don't forget to sprinkle dog food... Be good, sleep well..."
"Elbow!" Feng Xueshan on the opposite side was not happy: "Come here to coax me!"
"Coax you to coax you..." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to push down Feng Xueshan who was trying to push herself up: "Sleep well , This kind of sleep is the most comfortable."
"Well, Ralph is not good, you can't be Ralph..." Feng Xueshan closed her eyes, but started to mumble again: "...Teach me again. He is a good...monk! You are still honest..."
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry. Ralph is the most contradictory character in "The Thorn Birds" and is also the love of the female father-in-law Meggie: "It's still like this. I want to be the eldest sister, so you should have a good sleep..."
After settling the two of them, Zhou Zhi went downstairs again, and together with Ye Xin sent Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi upstairs to rest.
Jiang Shuyi's body was limp and her face was red, but the girl was too thin. Although she was much taller than He Yongmei, when Zhou Zhi was carrying her, she felt that they were about the same weight.
When he saw Jiang Shuyi in his previous life, Zhou Zhi always felt that she was nervous.
But where does this tension come from? Zhou Zhi never asked about this even after confirming the relationship with her.
Then if you miss it, you miss it.
In this life, because my mentality has changed and I have observed more carefully, this feeling has become more obvious.
This time everyone went on a trip together, which made Zhou Zhi even more certain that this girl had something serious on her mind.
And now, he is far from reaching the stage where he can let her reveal his feelings.
Looking at the sleeping Jiang Shuyi, Zhou Zhi felt that this girl might only forget about her worries and truly relax when she concentrates on studying, or at times like this.
This is also the time when this girl is most beautiful.
Sighing slightly, Zhou Zhi covered her with a thin quilt.
"Zhou Zhi, let's go." Ye Xin said. At this moment, she seemed to be much more mature than usual.
Zhou Zhi nodded, then looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was also sleeping across from him, and retreated from the room with Ye Xin, walking downstairs.
"Zhou Zhi can drink well." Mu's father smiled when he saw the two of them.
"If it weren't for aunt's help, I would definitely be the first to fall." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle has seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't expose it."
"Da Man, he Mom is smiling like this today, I don’t even remember what year it was.”
Something flashed in Mu's father's eyes as he looked at Zhou Zhi: "Our whole family is really happy for you to come this time."
"It's our turn to thank our uncle and aunt for their kindness and don't mind us being noisy. Auntie also made such a sumptuous table for us. The fried chicken is something that is not commonly available in the city now."
"That's because your auntie wants to show off her skills!" Father Mu also seems to have it. A little drunk, he smiled and said: "Your aunt used to like to laugh. You don’t know, elbow, that when I went to Lijiazhai for a blind date, I didn’t even see your aunt at first, but then I heard the laughter in the room, which immediately touched my heart.”
"As soon as I see someone, I'll follow you Tell me, I will know right away that I will never take it off again in this life!"
"Don't you dare tell me this in front of me!" Mother Mu came over with a rag and happened to hear what Father Mu said. Even the old couple, who has been married for many years, does not feel embarrassed.
"There is a saying in the forest farm at the back, saying that Daman 'doesn't talk like a lady, but when he does, everyone will suffer'. Even Daman was made fun of by his classmates when he was a child."
Mu's father laughed and said: "I didn't expect it. That dialect is a treasure today.”
“Auntie’s dialect is really a treasure.” Zhou Zhi took out his notebook and said, “It’s just that. Not many people in Jiachuan know its value. "
"Uncle, what my aunt said is called Southwest Mandarin. It has been spread to our area since before the Song Dynasty, and it has been spoken by our ancestors. "
"Uncle, think about it, this was something from more than a thousand years ago. Is it difficult to keep it until now?"
