Friend
Have you ever wondered what your 15 years old self was like?
Ah…I think
It depends on the circumstances, living environment and time of birth of each person.
my age
My grandmother often said, “You are not full yet, you are not worried enough, sometimes you have unexpected thoughts and actions.”
It’s not like I’m sitting here now wishing I could guess what’s coming next.
Me then
Listen to Mrs. Binh say
Tu, please give me a ride home.
I want to drive home quickly
I just wanted to run away quickly to the garden behind Mr. Dam’s house to laugh out loud to satisfy my hidden mischievousness that my classmates often teased me about.
Tu is a naughty boy
I feel sorry for her when she has food in her mouth.
is running because he told her the tires are still inflated
but was ruined
But …
I have to save Mr. Dam because he is someone I really like.
If Ms. Nu knew that Ms. Binh was having an affair with him, then
Haha..
I told you yesterday
My sister and I cut off his thing, she was curious and asked me questions, what happened on the anniversary?
who the..
Mr. Dam’s life is really miserable.
I drove past Mr. Dam’s bird cage hanging on a grapefruit branch. I wonder if his turtledove must have known me every time I snapped my fingers and whistled to call the bird.
when it saw me passing by it kept stretching its neck and crowing
nodding neck
dick, dick..
I laughed..
think of
The big, long-winged bird from earlier was now reaching high, adjusting its range, about to shoot down Mrs. Binh ‘s plane.
sure sir
want to perform to show off the dish she has heard about and craved for so long
but just a minute
the minute sister bud brought potatoes
The hunter let the eagle slip away.
now two people are sitting close together
put him in checkmate
hee hee..
pretend to whistle to the bird..
then look back
Mr. Dam was grimacing at the unexpected situation.
suddenly his voice rose
hey
I stood near the bird cage about ten steps away from him.
now dare to look back
smile
what did he say
wait a moment
I step back
Mr. Dam’s table was placed close to the left of the house, protruding to the back. The wooden table was old and had a worn surface. Two long benches were placed on either side. Ms. Nu and Mrs. Binh sat on the same bench.
Mr. Dam stood behind the two people, he must have been in a bad mood because of this scene.
I looked at him and smiled.
he winked at me and said
wait for me a moment
then turned to look at Mrs. Binh
die
I was so engrossed in the story that I forgot to get medicine for her.
hee hee ..
he smiled conciliatoryly
I looked at the two bunches of sweet potatoes that sister bud left on the table.
look at sister bud
blink
then suddenly asked
Your potatoes are big, they must be delicious when grilled.
Yes
These are yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes. Boil them until they are cooked, drain the water, put them in a clay pot and stew them with rice husks for about half an hour before eating. They are absolutely delicious.
Mrs. Binh is a seasoned person, experienced in love, she has fought many seasons.
She is very sensitive and flirtatious.
Having lived in the village for a long time, she must have heard people gossiping about him and his wife’s nieces and nephews.
when I heard my sister praise the potato, it was like praising herself
she said
That said, eating potatoes also depends on the person.
hee hee
why do you say that
uh i mean
Sweet and soft potatoes have spicy burps,
I heard he has stomach disease. Eating too much is probably not good.
hee hee
ah ah
hen ruffled feathers..I think fast
I’m sure you understand my wink.
Mrs. Binh was upset because the delicious piece was lost.
so now…the two of them are in a kind of annoyed mood
Mr. Dam pretended to be friendly
Leave the bud there for me..
He hung it up to dry on the line for a few days and then steamed it with rice to eat gradually.
he turned to her
Now you come up here, I’ll wrap some packages for you, take them today and tomorrow the medicine will be back. Tomorrow afternoon, come up here, I’ll cut more to make it flavorful.
Yes..
Mrs. Binh replied, then followed him.
I looked at her bud
laugh
Mr and Mrs Binh left.. I looked at her face which was blushing.
Today she just dressed nicely, her eyebrows were really thick, her figure was plump.
yesterday he said
buffalo hoof
Just now she was looking back at the two figures walking up the house.
now she turned to look at me
then ask
Have you been sitting here with your grandparents?
ah ah..
I sleep in a hammock
So did you hear what they were talking about?
ah ..
I sleep dream
should listen
he took her pulse
what did grandparents say
Oh, I heard Mrs. Binh say… lately she often has trouble sleeping at night or something.
really
So did you two go into the house like…
what is it like
like the day i heard you with that guy
hee hee
I do not care
Oh… sis, the other day I heard Mr. Dam say your husband…
what did he say
Oh, the other day I heard you take the pulse and prescribe medicine for some guys coming back from working at the gold mine..
he said ..
what do you say
I heard those guys say that when they come back from the gold mine they often catch a cold and feel weak. When they go up there they give them some kind of drug to smoke…and there are a lot of girls up there.
There was a guy who told me he had some kind of inflammation of the comb or cockscomb.
He said it is difficult to cure genital warts with oriental medicine.
should go to western hospital
oh my gosh do you really hear that?
Yes, I come here often..there are many days when I hear you examine people so I hear you say that.
Sister Nu said… someone must be sick so they said that
I don’t know either..
I heard those guys tell you… there are only beautiful girls on the gold mine, so all the guys spent all their money. One guy came back with malaria and his skin was pale.
and what chemical is used to remove the gold…whoever drinks spring water will have dark skin
oh my god, you heard that?
yes, why would i lie to you
no wonder
Mrs. Binh and Mr. Dam went out.
looking at her cheerfully
talk and laugh with him
Sister Nu…slow face
he said
Tu, are you home now?
yes..i’ll go home and see if my grandmother says anything
Oh, if there’s nothing else, I’ll come back here later and ask you for a favor.
he looked at me and smiled
then wink
I turned to lead the car
Mrs. Binh followed…she brought two packs of Chinese medicine and a bottle of light yellow water.
I slowly led my bike out along the edge of the field, looking back Mr. Dam had disappeared.
I wonder what he and Ms. Nu are doing in there..
curious
Looking back, I saw Mrs. Binh also turning back to look towards Mr. Dam’s house.
I just smiled
think
I admit Mr. Dam is great..I wonder if he is currently relaxing with his niece.
or is suffering from a woman’s wrath
I feel sorry for him, he is a playboy and handsome, but that thing is long.
hee hee
I walked about 2 meters away from Mrs. Binh. When I reached the intersection, a road turned into the village. A road went through the middle of the field. I just kept walking my bike.
Mrs. Binh asked…what are you laughing at? why don’t you get in the car?
Well…I see that Mr. Dam is also having a hard time, no one cooks for him.
Mrs. Binh smiled.
My car has low tire pressure, grandma.
oh grandma
what
What medicine did you get for her? And a bottle of water.
I know exactly what kind of water Mr. Dam’s bottle is, but keep asking..
hee hee
Oh, he said he prepared the medicine for you to drink to balance yin and yang.
Yesterday I heard you take the pulse of a girl in the village. You said my tire is this tight.
Grandma, why is your wrist pulse tense or loose?
really?
That guy is dead today. Tomorrow afternoon I will go get the medicine and ask him for his crime.
everyone wears the same tires and tubes… what nonsense
My conversation with her continued along the road. She must have been thirsty from walking so she took a bottle of water and drank it all in one gulp. Her face still looked pretty and rosy.
The story follows the footsteps of the afternoon…it’s probably around 1pm, the fields are also deserted this season.
walking across the rice fields, the rice fields were full of sticky rice. Mrs. Binh suddenly quickened her steps and walked forward, a distance from me.
it felt like she was in a hurry
I saw her butt swinging..I thought it was probably because of Mr. Dam’s water bottle..
smile ask
grandma what are you doing
ah…hehe
do you need to pee
Yes, grandma is looking for bushes… hee hee
Okay, I’ll turn back so grandma can… hehe
Oh, we’re almost at your vegetable field. You can go in.
I followed her hand pointing…is her field in the rice planting area?
yeah..then she told
In the past, she grew vegetables in the rice field.. the poor people stole the vegetables.. so she cursed.
A few years ago, Tuan and Khai were grown up. They discussed about the bare field of rice seedlings of grandma’s house. It was also near the pond. The two of them went out to hoe, fenced it with bamboo, planted pineapples around it, and made a gate to lock it to prevent vegetable theft.
inside they cut bamboo to build a hut..with a sleeping platform..in the summer they even bring out blankets and mosquito nets to sleep all night..
to the ditch she said
you turn this way
I followed her on the bike
along the rice fields, passing the fallow fields where the soil is drying and waiting for water to be poured to plant the winter-spring crop.
Mrs. Binh’s vegetable garden is located next to the pond. Mrs. Binh hung the medicine package on my motorbike and opened the bamboo gate.
run quickly into the corner
feeling in a hurry..she pulled up her pants
Looking from the gate corner…her butt is white and round
