<p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 双水村的人谁也没有想到，孙少安这家伙出门一个月，竟然带着一个大眼睛的山西姑娘回来了！</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> No one in Shuangshui Village thought that Sun Shaoan would return with a big-eyed Shanxi girl after being away for a month!</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 全村人议论的话题自然从不久前去世的金俊斌转移到了这位新来的姑娘身上。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> The topic of discussion among the whole village naturally shifted from Jin Junbin, who passed away not long ago, to this new girl.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 太叫人惊讶了！起先谁知道少安出门是去找媳妇呢？他临走时不是说他到外面给一队去联系小麦良种吗？好，这现在倒给他自己联系回来这么个“良种”！</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> It was so surprising! Who knew at first that Shaoan was going out to find a wife? Didn’t he say before he left that he was going out to contact a team for good wheat varieties? Well, now he has contacted such a "good variety" for himself!</b></p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 还叫人奇怪的是，少安为什么不娶一个本地女子，而跑到远路上找了一个爱吃老陈醋的山西人呢？</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> What's also strange is why Shaoan didn't marry a local girl, but went to a distant place to find a Shanxi girl who loves to eat old vinegar?</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 人们后来才知道，这姑娘是贺凤英一个村的，而且还是妇女主任远房的本家人。噢，原来是这么一回事！</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> People later found out that the girl was from the same village as He Fengying, and was a distant relative of the director of the Women's Department. Oh, that's what happened! </b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 于是，大家立刻又为少安惋惜起来：这么好个后生，哪里找不下个媳妇，为什么娶贺凤英的本家人呢？如果这姑娘象贺凤英一样，那孙少安这辈子就别想过好日子了，他二爸孙玉亭就是他的“榜样”！</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> So everyone immediately felt sorry for Shaoan: Such a good young man, where can he find a wife, why did he marry a relative of He Fengying? If this girl is like He Fengying, then Sun Shaoan will never have a good life in this life, because his second father Sun Yuting is his "role model"!</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 但人们的惋惜马上又变成了一片赞叹之声。据找借口去过少安家的人说，这姑娘和贺凤英完全是两码事！脸虽然不太白，但人样子十分耐看。黑眉大眼，一口白牙，身体发育得丰丰满满，正是庄稼人所梦想的那种女人。更叫人赞叹的是，她到少安家的那个破墙烂院里，没有显出一丝的嫌弃，而且第二天就帮助孙玉厚的老婆做上家务活了；还满嘴奶奶、妈妈、爸爸叫个不停，把孙玉厚一家人都高兴乱了！除过这些以外，最主要的是，还听说她娘家连一个财礼钱都不要！啊呀，不要财礼钱？世界上还有这样的事？孙少安这小子狗尿到脑上了，交了好运气！</u></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> But people's regrets soon turned into praises. According to people who found excuses to go to Shaoan's house, this girl is completely different from He Fengying! Although her face is not very white, she is very attractive. She has black eyebrows, big eyes, white teeth, and a plump body. She is exactly the kind of woman that farmers dream of. What is even more admirable is that she did not show a trace of disgust when she came to Shaoan's broken-walled courtyard, and helped Sun Yuhou's wife with housework the next day; she kept calling grandma, mom, and dad, which made Sun Yuhou's family very happy! In addition to these, the most important thing is that it is said that her family does not even want a dowry! Oh, no dowry? Is there such a thing in the world? Sun Shaoan is a kid who has peed on his brain and has good luck!</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 当孙少安有点羞涩地出现在村子里的时候，庄稼人就纷纷围住他，和他开玩笑，向他查问他带回来的这位山西姑娘的长长短短。有些他的同龄人粗鲁地问他：“一搭里睡了没？”而开玩笑不论辈数的田万有还火上加油，咧开嘴在人群里酸溜溜地唱道——</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> When Sun Shaoan appeared in the village a little shyly, the farmers surrounded him, joked with him, and asked him about the Shanxi girl he brought back. Some of his peers asked him rudely: "Have you slept together?" Tian Wanyou, who joked regardless of the generation, added fuel to the fire, grinning and singing sourly in the crowd -</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 你要拉我的手，</u></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 我要亲你的口；</u></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 拉手手，亲口口，咱们到圪崂里走！</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> You want to hold my hand,</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> I want to kiss you;</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Hold hands, kiss, let's go to Gelaoli!</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 众人乐得哄堂大笑，孙少安只好摆脱村民们这些出于好意的恶作剧，红着脸就走。是的，他现在还顾不上热闹，而许许多多随之而来的难肠事正困扰着他，需要他在很短的时间内马上解决；快乐和苦恼在他心中象两条纠缠在一起的绳索，乱翻翻地找不见各自的头绪。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Everyone laughed so hard that Sun Shaoan had to get rid of the villagers' well-intentioned pranks and left with a red face. Yes, he couldn't care about the fun now, and many troubles that followed were bothering him, and he needed to solve them immediately in a very short time; happiness and distress were like two tangled ropes in his heart, and he couldn't find the clues to each other no matter how he turned around.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 孙少安这次外出，本来不抱什么希望。只是在各种原因促使之下，他才不得不出这次远门。他当时心里也有些烦闷，想借此出去散一散心。他本来也没准备耽搁这么长时间，心想行不行三锤两棒就完了，他转几天就回来了，没想到他一下子就在贺秀莲家住了近一个月。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Sun Shaoan had no hope for this trip. It was only due to various reasons that he had to go on this long trip. He was a little depressed at the time and wanted to go out to relax. He didn't plan to stay for so long, thinking that it would be over in a few days, and he would be back in a few days. Unexpectedly, he stayed at He Xiulian's house for nearly a month.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 他到柳林后，先找了他父亲早年间的拜识陶窑主。但不巧的是，“干大”在半年前刚刚离开了人世。干大的几个后人，知道他们的父亲在远路上有个老朋友，现在见干兄弟上了门，也就很热情地接待了他。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> After he arrived in Liulin, he first looked for the pottery kiln owner that his father had known in his early years. Unfortunately, "Gan Da" had just passed away half a year ago. Several descendants of Gan Da knew that their father had an old friend on a distant road, and now that they saw Gan brothers coming to their house, they also warmly received him.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 他在干大的后人家里住了两天，就到离柳林不远的贺家湾去了。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> He stayed at the home of Gan Da's descendants for two days, and then went to Hejiawan, not far from Liulin.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><u style="font-size:20px;"> 他先到他二妈的娘家门上。他二妈的父母亲已经接到了女婿和女儿的信，说他们有个侄子要来看本村贺耀宗的女儿秀莲。他们接待下少安，就立即给贺家通了话。第二天吃过早饭，他二爸的老丈人就引着他上了秀莲家的门。贺耀宗有两个女儿。大女儿秀英招了本村的一个男人，就住在娘家门上，既是女婿，又算儿子。小女儿秀莲今年二十二岁，在村里上过几年学后，就一直在家劳动。</u></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> He first went to his second mother's family's door. His second mother's parents had received a letter from their son-in-law and daughter, saying that they had a nephew who was going to visit Xiulian, the daughter of He Yaozong from the same village. After they received Shaoan, they immediately called the He family. After breakfast the next day, his second father's father-in-law led him to Xiulian's door. He Yaozong had two daughters. The eldest daughter Xiuying married a man from the same village and lived at her mother's door. She was both a son-in-law and a son. The youngest daughter Xiulian was 22 years old this year. After attending school in the village for a few years, she had been working at home.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> 路遥（1949年12月3日—1992年11月17日），原名王卫国，陕西清涧人。中华人民共和国作家。曾任中国作家协会陕西分会党组成员、副主席。</b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Lu Yao (December 3, 1949 - November 17, 1992), formerly known as Wang Weiguo, was born in Qingjian, Shaanxi.
