C68 (2/2)

Er Nengdan took out a few red, green and yellow bandages from a bag, and said: ”I bought these for you. It was as beautiful as a colorful flag fluttering in the wind. All the people in the city are doing this! ”

San Geda put the handkerchief away, but he was not satisfied. He said, ”I have seen bandages before. Is there anything else? ”

Er Nengdan took out another bra and shook it, asking: ”Third Uncle, do you know what this is?”

San Geda snatched it, looked left and right, covering his face, and said: ”The eyepatch is too big, what the hell is this?”

”Breast.” ”Yo!”

”Ah, whose milk do you want to use? ”Son?”

Er Nengdan said: ”This is for Da Laozhu's wife! Didn't Da Laozhu just get married! I've never seen my sister-in-law before, so I'll just treat this as a greeting gift for her! All the people in the city wear this! ”

”Aiya! Er Xiao, you are only older than Da Laozhu by three months, your abilities are much greater than him! This was such a rare thing! What else is missing? ” San Geda was still not satisfied after putting away his bra.

Er Nengdan took out a box of things from his bag. He opened it and took out a plastic paper bag, tore apart the paper bag, then pulled out a condom. Always blowing as big as a watermelon. He twisted his mouth shut and flung a large balloon, asking, ”Third Uncle, have you seen this before?”

”Isn't this a balloon!?”

”Vulgar!” This is not a balloon! ”It's a condom!”

”What …” What kind of trap was this? What is it for? ”

”Dai grasshopper (dialect) up!” He wouldn't let a woman get pregnant! This is also my greeting gift to my sister-in-law! ” Er Nengdan said.

”Aiyah, Er Xiao! This was worn on a grasshopper! How do you want me to give Da Laozhu his wife! As a father-in-law! What are you doing with this thing! Our family is not childless! ” San Geda said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

People in cities wear this!” Look at us country people, giving birth to a child like a lamb to a pig, (it will be dialect, the meaning of life) a whole nest, a family of ten or eight have it! If you wear a condom, you won't have children!

”The countryside is the countryside, the city is the city, that can't compare! I don't want this! Da Laozhu and his wife would not take it either. ”Give me something useful to use!” The San Geda was getting anxious.

Er Nengdan gave her another roast chicken and a bottle of wine. A big piece of pork. Two boxes of cigarettes and a big bag of sweets. Only then did San Geda take his things and left in satisfaction.

I said, ”Get some rat medicine! At home, there are many rats! ”

Er Nengdan took out a stack of money and gave me four pieces of yellow and five yuan, and said: ”Brother, I'll give this money to you, whatever you want to buy, I'll give it to you!”

I said, ”It's only twenty yuan, what can I buy!”

”Twenty dollars? What can I buy? ” Er Nengdan's eyes widened, he was obviously surprised, and then he became extremely angry: It's already twenty pieces, and you think it's not enough! Take this twenty dollars to the village canteen and see if you can buy everything for him! ”

It turned out that in the countryside in 1984, ten dollars was enough for five families to spend for half a year. If it was a very frugal family, ten dollars a year was not enough.

If the San Geda were to see these twenty dollars, he would definitely be envious to death.

So I took the money. Go out and find a place to buy rat poison. I had already decided to put some rat poison in the egg roll and poison the county governor's child.

I asked around the village for the location of the snack bar. He asked about the place. There was no rat poison on sale in the canteen. Then I went to San Geda's house. He saw that everyone in his house had tied their heads with red, green and yellow bandages. From the looks of it, each and every one of them seemed to be wearing a comb. Only the San Geda still wore a sheepskin hat.

I said, ”Third Uncle, where can we find someone who can sell rat medicine?”

”We still have some!” You can use it! ”

San Geda found a brown paper packet for me. Opening it, I saw a red powder inside. He said to me, ”You have to be careful not to get this stuff on top of the food. It's very poisonous. Don't just look at this, three to five oxen also died from the poison! ”

”Good!” Third Uncle, take it! ” I was so happy that I took out five yuan and gave it to San Geda to thank him.

”This... This... It's too much! ” San Geda's eyes widened as if he was frightened. He stuttered and his hands that were connected to the money were trembling.

When I was preparing to leave his house, I coincidentally saw Blind Old Lady, whose face had two burn marks that looked like huge copper coins, walk to the main entrance. She stopped, turned her wrinkled face towards me as if she could see me, and snapped, ”Who the hell are you? Do you want to stir up trouble!? ”

I was startled and my scalp went numb. I felt that this blind old lady was not an ordinary person.

”Granny Nine! What are you doing! A lot of old people, scaring children with such a loud voice! ” San Geda yelled as he walked over to support the blind old lady.

I didn't dare to linger any longer. I suppressed the fear in my heart and quickly walked around her.

Hurrying down the alley, I clenched my teeth and clenched my fists. A bold thought popped into my mind: I have to find a way to kill this blind old woman!
