From Moscow, over Tsmakut, they reach Yerevan in 100 minutes, and to get from Tsmakut to Yerevan, you have to go for a day and a night.
- Our village, dear brother-in-law, is far, far away...
- That's how you say it is far away, as if it is outside of Armenia.
- It is outside of Armenia, outside of the world.
There, for days and years, the hawk makes the same circle over the heads of the village and the chickens, the hail escapes from between the hills to break the fields and quails, the wind blows the roofs of the beehives and rain pours into the beehives, the child who went to fetch the horse gets lost on this side of the valley, the wet horse stands on the other side, and the valley is filled with the horror of a black flood, it has cracked for a hundred years. the rock does not crumble and does not crumble, and one does not know whether to build the house on the bed of the rock or on the edge of the clearing above Simon's house. And if neither there, nor there, but there is hardly an occasion to tie up the baggage and move to Yerevan? Simon's affairs were arranged well, Yerevan has a boy, and the matter of escaping from the heat, Tsmakut will prepare a summer house for you. Aghun reached the goal. from the day he got married, city, city, city, all he wanted was something like Manatsi, but here a twenty-five-year-old boy has a place like Yerevan.
- Sero!
Parandzem owed thirty eggs. That time the son said: "An egg is ten kopecks, the market is under my nose." He doesn't understand, he was dragged by his uncle, he will never live well, he doesn't know how to count money, he gets handfuls and spends handfuls. His wife will be a housekeeper.
- Sero, how much money does five hundred eggs make for ten kopecks?
- I won't say that you don't take me with you.
- Did you learn your arithmetic? What are you reading?
- That you don't take me with you is none of your business.
- Write thirty eggs on a piece of paper to Parandzem.
- If you don't take me with you, I won't write either.
- Jump up from your seat - Go see if that horse is grazing or is it tangled?
The son was also weak in arithmetic. He was going to the exam, he was chopping wood, he cut his leg. He didn't cut deep, but when he was about to go to the exam, he cried. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Siranuysh said: "Dove, you are an injured woman, I mean, but without numerology your child will not have a future." He himself said: "If he is drawn to the side of Vankers, he will not be lost, but if, dear Siranuysh, I will be crushed, even if he is stronger than algebra." Did Siranuysh read his articles? Vazgen reads it and does not like it. "If I write, I will write better than him." Pspsan, we have ink, pen, pen
- Sero.
- What is it?
- Dear Professor Sero, did you write thirty eggs to Parandzem?
- That you don't take me with you, I'm not a professor.
- I say it too. A hundred eggs, fifty, one hundred and fifty eggs?
- What are you saying?
- I say, you are a sheep Sero. - When he failed algebra in the eighth grade, Simon said: "Good morning and money is coming, bring it, O woman, let it go in the spring." Let him go as a lamb - There is no fight, there is no will, there is no desire to live well, it's a potato, eat a potato. - Get up - I made Armenak go - Find an old book, the paper slipped away.
The child went to stand against the cupboard, looked, then went to get a chair.
- There is no useless book there, go upstairs.
- If you don't take me, I will break the eggs too.
- No! No!
- I will break it.
- Can you do something else good?
- That you won't take me!
Artash robbed the kolkhoz, robbed it, and the boy's share was a carpet and a bed. You touched the pillow, it was stuffed into the lining as well as feathers.
- Well, I took Sero with me, then? the cow came, but the calf did not. the herd came from the herd - there is no fire in the house, there is no water - the herd is also hungry! hungry, thirsty! thirsty - the pig did not come from the herd, he took the chickens, Muradents Rkhabats pulled the feather of the pear while going to the herd. the chickens laid eggs, there was no one to take the eggs, the cat ate them - we came from Yerevan and saw that there is no house, it's a barn - is it okay?
- What is my business?
- Everything in this house is yours, the house and the back, me and your father are your servants, that is, your servants.
- You don't have to.
- Your brother said it too. And now behold, his Sero sends for him a winter's food. Do you know why he is sending it? Wrap it up, I say. He is sending it so that the time for the university will come or else he will enroll his Sero in the university. There is a type of hissing snake that looks at a person: "This person is mine." that man was not born by a mother, he was prepared just like that. There is a type of complaints - you bring, you bring, you bring - your house is empty. If she were blonde, tall, had long heavy hair, gave birth to healthy children - because you will bequeath her lunch, because of her, Nasik will come and cook the next day's meal, don't let her spill too much oil. Why don't you come home from work the next day and you'll say, "Hey, it's the state, every day! Others brought their hay, our hay was left on the mountain, because it snowed, it's going to be difficult, isn't it, hey?" Go turn up the volume on that radio, he's singing a good song. All my life I wanted a singing boy, you were born deaf.
- Doesn't Akhper sing well?
- I will bear the pain of my brother. He sings, he writes, he laughs, he has good friends - Ugh, my back - You will grow up, you will go to a veterinary university, you will become a veterinarian, is it true, Sero dear, you will become a veterinarian, and hug and listen, you will come to the village. You will have a house in the city, your brothers in the village. I will also be your mother, I will sit down and have a good rest - your father will also keep bees for you. And if your mother is not here, don't forget, you will come and say to my grave. Oh my, we are what you wanted. I will listen! Did you write Parandzem thirty eggs? Your grandfather Ishkhan should not rest under the ground. the world is full of boys: go, Aghunik, make a man out of Simon, make a house out of a barn, make Armenak out of Armenak - Build, build, and then there is no health and no heart to bother. Others should go from palace to palace, god Tsmakut for me and Tsmakut for Simon. You are a flower, you will bloom every spring. You will come, dear Sero, you will stand at the head of my grave. "Hey, Armenak is fine, I'm fine, we went along the path you drew."
- Did you start again? Now I'll break the egg, huh?
- Don't cry, you won't be from their soft tribe.
- Why are you crying?
- I have the right. Your good uncle Adam grabbed me by the arm and threw me out in January: "Go, you are not for this house." Your grandmother Arus shed blood and tears every day, your grandfather Abel, go deep! you have the face of a dog, dog." and that good husband of yours was standing nearby with his mouth agape. My name wasn't Aghun, I was Kurdish, I ate a lot of their non-existent bread. Your uncle's son Hrachik was a child, he was taught, he called me a rat and hit me with a stone. Hey, Sero! And my aunt Manishak - my aunt Manishak - Jump up, jump up from your seat - You sit down like your grandfather Abel, you brought the world to harvest. That horse is tangled now, jump. Quick, go deep, your grandfather Abel, quick!
- They were doing well, they said.
- What did they do well?
- That they called ratout.
- You will live.
- Why did you hit?
- Jump to look at that horse, or else I will get up.
"Bitter!"
- Look, I'm not a rat, I have a name, my name is Aghun. It's a pigeon, "Unique!"
"Bitter!"
"A unique!" Say what is it?
- I don't say.
- It's your nan, let her scream so much!
- He screams.
"Aghunik, Aghunik!"
- Tell me, what is it?
"Sero, Sero!"
- What is it!
"Sero!"
- Ayta, what is it?
"What's wrong with us?"
- Say he's going to Yerevan, say he's getting ready, he doesn't have time.
- He is going to Yerevan, he is getting ready!
- Say, he doesn't have time.
"Is he going to Yerevan?"
- Yes!
"Let one eye come out."
- Say he doesn't have time, he's busy. Now I need it, now I have a name, now my name is Aghun, and I'm not a rat. Jump the horse. Leave this radio on.
In the city, they do one thing: the radio sings and talks, the iron heats up, the lights in all the rooms turn on, the stove heats up, but the meter does not count, they do one thing: all this happens without money...
