Chapter 12 12, Little Shuang

"?"

"!?"

Lin Xiaojian was walking towards his fourth uncle. Hearing his nonsensical words, he was stunned. He instinctively looked at the two people behind him. They seemed to be a mother and daughter. The mother was almost 40 years old. His body looks a little fatter, and his face is bronzed, which is obviously the complexion of often working in the fields.

Standing behind her is a quiet girl with a slightly fat face and a height of just over 1 meters. She looks very weak and has not fully grown. She is carrying a large quilt bag in both hands and wearing a floral coat.Seeing Lin Xiaojian looking at herself, she exchanged a glance with him, then lowered her head shyly, her eyes were very bright.

"Hey, fourth uncle, what are you talking about!"

Lin Xiaojian hurriedly shouted at the fourth uncle, unable to react for a while.

"Pfft!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ye Chao was drinking water, almost spit it out, and quickly swallowed it, because he was too hasty and almost swallowed into the trachea, choking him violently coughing several times.

"This is your fourth aunt's niece, Xiao Shuang, who is a high school student just like you. She didn't get into college and came here to work."

"You are the only ones in our village who are educated. If you don't look for you, who can you look for? Can you still make money for outsiders? I heard from your father that you are now a mechanic in the factory, earning seven to eighty to ninety thousand a year. The little girl followed you You won't be wronged either."

The fourth uncle said carelessly, talking about the lifelong affairs of the young man and woman in the passageway of the train exit without any scruples, and his tone was so relaxed that he seemed to be discussing the sale of eggs just laid by his own hen.

Some passers-by who heard a few words cast their curious eyes on this team and saw that they were migrant workers who had just come out of the ravine. Feeling their eyes, Lin Xiaojian wished there was a crack in the ground for him to drill into, and rushed up to grab fourth uncle's hand. The cuffs went out, and said anxiously:

"Fourth Uncle, what are you doing, what kind of wife is not a wife, I am only 19 years old!"

"What's wrong with 19! When your father was your age, your sister was already in your mother's stomach."

"I think you are stupid in reading, you don't even want such a good wife!"

The fourth uncle thought that Lin Xiaojian would be very surprised, but he didn't expect that his tone was a little harsh, as if he was blaming himself for his inability to do things well.

"I didn't say no!"

"No, I mean, I'm not ready to get married yet!"

Lin Xiaojian said hastily that in the past half a year since he came out to work, his ideas have undergone the baptism of modern society, and they are completely different from the customs handed down from generation to generation in the valley of his hometown.

He occasionally fantasizes about what kind of woman he will spend the rest of his life with in the future when he is insomnia at midnight, but it is definitely not like today, where he meets in a crowded street and decides in less than a second.Lin Xiaojian heard that young people in the city are pursuing free love, and he is very resistant to blind dates.But for mountain people like them, blind date is already a very fashionable and free thing. Most of them just meet their parents for the first time on their wedding day after they ask someone to find a partner, hire them, hold a drink, and get married.

In his mind, at least he has to wait until he has made some career and has a stable income before he is eligible to consider marriage, right?But he didn't know that the matchmaking has always been talking nonsense. His parents said that Brother Chao's expected salary for his future was his current salary, and then doubled it on his own initiative, saying that it would be after he became a regular next year. salary.

Xiaoshuang's parents were overjoyed when they heard this figure, which was equivalent to 10 times the village's per capita annual income, and even the nephew of the village head next door rejected the matchmaker.They had seen Lin Xiaojian when he was a child, he was very clever, with a cleverness rarely seen in the mountains, and it is not surprising that he can make so much money.

"It's okay, I know you young people are talking about new trends and you want to fall in love freely, right? So you should deal with it first, don't rush to do it, if there is no problem, come back this Spring Festival and make the wine."

The fourth uncle said in a big way that he had already arranged all the follow-up plans, and Lin Xiaojian even suspected that he had already figured out what his child's name should be.

In the customs of their village, matchmakers are just like family members. They have to bow down when they get married, and they also have the right to suggest names for the new couple's children.

"Hey, let's go back and talk about it first!"

Hearing that the fourth uncle's thoughts were so thoughtful, Lin Xiaojian felt his head was as big as a numb, and hurriedly dragged everyone away.

This little pair is very pleasing to him, quiet and quiet, and she looks like a cultured girl, not like those girls in the village who dropped out of school to work in agriculture just after entering junior high school, all of them are tall and thick, and their arms are as thick as his calves.

It's just that I'm not ready to find someone at all!He does as the Romans do, and thinks it is normal to get married in his 20s, but in his hometown, it is common to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.In the view of the people in the mountains, if you have held a banquet, you are considered married, and you will not get a marriage certificate until you reach the legal age.

Five people came to the taxi pick-up place at the exit of the train station. The driver refused everyone's request to sit in one car, bluntly saying that there is surveillance here, and the transport management stipulates that a car can accommodate up to four people.Ye Chao and Fourth Uncle looked at each other, smiled, and took Xiaoshuang's mother into the front taxi, and let Lin Xiaojian and Xiaoshuang sit in the back one.

"..."

A man and a woman were forced into the back of the taxi by Ye Chao and his fourth uncle. How did they not know that this was a strong couple?The two teenagers were shy by nature, so they had the nerve to cling to each other. They leaned against the car door tightly, leaving a large space in the middle, as if they would get an electric shock if they got too close.

The driver guessed the relationship between Lin Xiaojian and Xiaoshuang from the narrow conversations and behaviors of relatives and friends. He observed the young couple through the rearview mirror, and saw that they were sitting upright, looking flustered and at a loss. Looking down at the hem of his coat, he remembered the love affair he had missed because he was too young, so he decided to send an assist from someone who had experienced it.

There is a nearly 90-degree turn on the way from the exit of the train station to the avenue in front of the station, and the speed limit is 40. However, because there is no speed measuring instrument, this is often a good place for drivers who want to feel the centrifugal force of the vehicle.

Before entering the curve, the driver slightly stepped on the accelerator, raised the speed to 60 yards, and then turned the reverse wheel violently without stepping on the brakes. The green Santana showed good cornering performance, and the seat belt buckled him firmly on the seat , passed the corner with ease.When the vehicle stabilized and saw the two teenagers huddling tightly in the rearview mirror, the driver pressed the peaked cap on his head, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

"Ouch!"

Lin Xiaojian seldom takes a taxi, and has never driven a car, so he has no idea about this bend on the Avenue in front of the station.Unexpectedly, the taxi suddenly became unrestrained, and his whole body was firmly attached to the door due to centrifugal force.Just as he was about to ask the driver what was going on, Xiao Shuang on the other side lost his balance and slid over, hitting him softly.

It was the first time Lin Xiaojian had such close contact with a girl. When he was in the factory, the distance between him and the female workers in the workshop was never less than one meter. The 18-year-old girl's body was very soft, and hitting her body didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all, it was so comfortable that she seemed to be stuck in a pile of cotton.

Xiao Shuang's hair brushed against the tip of his nose, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, making him tickle, and his heart beat violently involuntarily.

"oops!"

Xiao Shuang was also taken aback by the sudden operation of the taxi driver. After losing her balance, her hands instinctively scratched, trying to grab something that could stabilize her body, and accidentally grabbed Lin Xiaojian's wrist. superior.

The curve was only a few meters long, and the taxi returned to its steady state after a second or two. But for Lin Xiaojian, this experience in just a few seconds left an indelible impression in his life.A few seconds ago, he had kept Xiao Shuang at arm's length, but after having physical contact, he felt closer for no reason.

"Are you OK?"

After the vehicle stabilized, Xiaoshuang quickly regained his balance, sat down again, and quickly withdrew his hand holding Lin Xiaojian. Out of a gentleman's demeanor, Lin Xiaojian asked a question with concern.

"No, it's alright..."

Xiao Shuang's voice was as thin as a mosquito's. If you turned on the lights in the back row, you could see a faint blush appearing on her face.When she was in school, she didn't say a few words to her male classmates, and she had never had such close contact.

In big cities, there are more interactions between boys and girls, and early love is a common thing, but in the key high schools in remote counties, the defense of boys and girls is the top priority of the school's daily management, even more important than the decline in academic performance. It won't work any closer.

"Master, please drive slowly."

Lin Xiaojian gasped and said, his heartbeat still couldn't slow down.

Xiao Shuang silently moved back to the farthest back seat, looked down at the toes of her canvas shoes, her mind was in a mess.

The girl who just came out of the mountains has never even played with a mobile phone, and her ideas are still very conservative, especially the boy next to her is very likely to be her future husband. The sudden intimate contact made her very upset.If you had lived in a big city for a few months and crowded around with men, women and children on canned buses every day, this contact would have long since become numb.

"Hehe, the turn just now was relatively steep, and it won't happen later. I'm an old driver, so don't worry."

The taxi driver said with a smile, he understood the truth that too much is too late, whether it can be done or not depends on the good luck of this little man and woman in the future.

The taxi drove on the spacious elevated carriageway for a few minutes, and the spring breeze poured in violently from outside the window, blowing the little pair of hair fluttering freely.She was attracted by the scenery outside. There is no elevated road in my hometown. The road is endless and unobstructed. There are no battery cars and pedestrians competing with taxis, and there are no peels and confetti. It looks clean, tidy and standardized.

I heard that Fengzhou City is only a third-tier city, and they are all so beautiful. I don’t know what kind of scenery it is like in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.She was a little fascinated, and the uneasiness of leaving home was also weakened in her yearning for a new life.
