Lin Zhengqing

1.

The first time Lin Zhengqing met Bai Haoyu was at night.

The only one who came back from the village was college student Lin Zhicheng who brought him to knock on the door.Bai Haoyu stood at the door smiling nicely, which made him feel that his rough clothes were a bit cold.

"Zhengqing, he's my college classmate, can he live in your house first? I can't live in my house." Lin Zhicheng poked his head over and said.

This clean and good-looking urbanite wants to live here?

"my home??"

Lin Zhengqing looked at him in surprise, they hadn't seen each other for several years, why did they say that they would bring someone to live in his house as soon as they came back?I was embarrassed to reject his enthusiasm, and added: "Can he get used to it?"

"Well, we may have to live for a long time, and we will pay you the rent he paid for renting your house, okay?" Lin Zhicheng said, "It seems that your house is the only one in our village that can live with my classmate, is that okay?"

Lin Zhengqing turned to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

As for whether he agreed because of Lin Zhicheng's face, or purely because of the feeling this person brought him, he couldn't find out.

"Excuse me, my name is Bai Haoyu." Bai Haoyu said with a smile

Unlike Lin Zhengqing, he didn't take this writing too seriously, that is, it was similar in nature to borrowing from a classmate's house.I don't know what this means to Lin Zhengqing.

"Come in." Lin Zhengqing opened the door and let him in.

The house is very simple, a small TV, a slightly worn-out table and chairs, it is still an old house, it looks very old, and there are no other superfluous things in the house.Not even a single photo.

Bai Haoyu looked at it for a while, and there was still firewood burning here.Modern appliances are not many.Fortunately, it is still expected.

Lin Zhicheng helped him carry his luggage in.

"Zhengqing, then I will go back first, and I will come to you tomorrow."

Then he handed him over to Lin Zhengqing with confidence, and patted him on the shoulder as he left, saying, "Zhengqing, if my classmate troubles you or you don't like him here, you can tell me directly, it's okay .”

"it is good."

After he left, there were only two people who were not familiar with each other.

Bai Haoyu took the initiative to talk and said, "Where do I live?"

The two stood stupidly for a while, Lin Zhengqing said: "You stay in a room with me first, and tomorrow I will clean up the room next door, and you can live in there again, okay?"

"Okay," Bai Haoyu looked around and said, "Do you live alone?"

Lin Zhengqing nodded and said, "En."

What about your parents?Bai Haoyu thought for a while, but swallowed the words back.Lin Zhicheng didn't tell him anything, so it's better not to talk casually.

After dragging the luggage in, Bai Haoyu started packing, and Lin Zhengqing went out.He was not very interested in this foreign guest.

He had never met such a silent person. When Bai Haoyu saw him for the first time, he felt that this boy seemed not interested in anything.

Lin Zhengqing's room was very clean, but his room was very empty, as if there was nothing there.There seemed to be some books under his desk, and Bai Haoyu didn't dare to mess with his things casually, as a newcomer, if he pissed off people, he would be kicked out.

Bai Haoyu sat here for a while, Lin Zhengqing entered again, and said, "Do you want to take a bath? Is the water boiled?"

"Aren't you going to wash first?"

"You wash first, and go to bed early after washing."

Bai Haoyu had no objection, he was also tired.

When he carried the bucket to the kitchen, Lin Zhengqing was sitting in front of the stove, his face was flushed red by the fire.

Seeing him coming in, Lin Zhengqing picked up the whole pot of water, poured it all into his bucket, and then filled a whole bucket of cold water and put it back.

Looking at his series of smooth movements, this is a completely different feeling from the water heater, and he can't tell what it is.

Seeing the person sitting back in front of the stove again, Bai Haoyu silently took the water away.Fortunately, I still have the strength to lift water, so I won't look so useless.

Even though he was covered with the quilt that Lin Zhengqing took out from the cabinet, Bai Haoyu still felt that it had a smell, maybe it was different from the previous one, or maybe it had the unique smell of this room.Good or bad, just can't tell.

The person sleeping next to him deliberately stayed away from him. If there was a hole next to him, Bai Haoyu estimated that the boy next to him would get in without hesitation.

He didn't like this kind of silence, and he didn't like that people living together had no communication, but this person was very silent and resisted him very much.

He only hoped that the two of them could change this situation if they stayed for a long time.

Lying in a daze until midnight, he finally fell asleep.It didn't take long before he heard the crowing of chickens, accompanied by a few bits and pieces of dog barking. Bai Haoyu opened his eyes with difficulty, and through the curtain, he saw that the sky outside had turned white, but the sky was not very bright yet. , It should not be dawn yet, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

When he finally woke up, Lin Zhengqing had already folded his quilt and placed it at the foot of the bed.People have gone out.

Bai Haoyu sat on the bed for a while, and then he got out of bed when his head cleared up a little. He turned around and saw the neatly folded quilt, and went back to fold the quilt neatly.

A lot of things were cleared out of the room next door. Lin Zhengqing specially moved a table and chairs for him to enter. Bai Haoyu stood curiously at the door and looked inside.

Lin Zhengqing concentrated on cleaning up.

The room used to be his parents', and nothing had been touched since they left.At that time, I was too young to understand.By the time he understood, it was already too late.

For those that needed to be preserved, Lin Zhengqing carefully sealed them up, and for those that were already scrapped, he treated them as garbage and threw them away.

When he turned his head, Bai Haoyu hurriedly retracted his head, always feeling that he was sad at this time.I also felt that this action of mine was quite stupid, like a bad student who was caught by the head teacher as a deserter, flustered.It's not in line with his usual style.

Looking back, I saw Lin Zhicheng pushing the door and coming in, and looked at him funny.

Bai Haoyu made a quiet gesture to him, looked back to the other side of the room, and pulled him out to talk.

"What's the matter with you, you are weird, Zhengqing people are very nice, and they won't make things difficult for you." Lin Zhicheng said as he went out with him.

"Where are his parents?"

"gone."

What Lin Zhicheng said was very simple, just like that boy, with a calm surface and no emotion at all.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's been a long time, and there's nothing to say."

It's also two people who are strangers to each other, so there's no need to reveal everything about others to you.

The sun slowly came out in the morning, and the temperature began to rise slowly.Lin Zhengqing took a bucket of clothes and came out to dry the clothes.

Lin Zhicheng said, "Zhengqing, it's so early."

"You're here,"

"Um"

"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Zhicheng asked Huitao.

Bai Haoyu shook his head, he hasn't brushed his teeth yet.

Lin Zhengqing said: "There is porridge and noodles in the kitchen, you go in and eat."

"it is good."

Lin Zhicheng followed Bai Haoyu in.

"What did your parents say?"

Lin Zhicheng smiled: "My parents think I'm crazy, that's why I ran back from the city to do these unrealistic things."

"Just as you expected."

"That's right, they said that there is something good to start a business in this poor mountainous area, and they don't believe that I can make something famous."

Bai Haoyu was holding a bowl of noodles and sitting on a small bench at the gate, eating while saying: "I also lied to my parents that I want to come here to be a village official, so they reluctantly agreed to let me come here. If they know that I do these things, Definitely bring me back in the middle of the night."

Lin Zhicheng looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance and said: "I came back this time and saw that many places here are deserted. I don't know if my children and grandchildren can come back here to see the mountains and rivers here. My parents said , When people get old, they want to go home, and sometimes I am afraid that when I get old, I will not be able to return to the place where I grew up.”

"I remember when you first came to me, you said that you didn't want this place to become more empty, so you decided to come back."

"The other thing is that I don't want people from my hometown to leave their hometowns and go out to work, earning less money and not being able to take care of their children."

Bai Haoyu looked at Lin Zhengqing not far away, perhaps he was a victim of such an economy.

"Come on, I'll take you to have a look, and then we'll talk to the village chief about renting the land."

"What about him?"

"Probably not going." Lin Zhicheng ran over and talked to Lin Zhengqing.

Bai Haoyu clearly saw that he shook his head, probably because he refused.

Sure enough, Lin Zhicheng came back and said, "He said he has something to do, let's go."

Bai Haoyu nodded.

Many young people in the village have gone out to work, and most of them are older people staying behind. Many lands are barren, and the vegetable land is mixed with wasteland.The weeds grow taller than anyone else.

Lin Zhicheng and he stood on the high ground in the village, looking at the village below.

"When I was young, there were quite a lot of people here, but when I was in high school, after I left, it seemed that the memory of this place gradually faded."

Bai Haoyu sat on the ground and looked down. The vision here is wider than the high-rise buildings in the city. You can see far away. This place seems to be surrounded by mountains, and the road to come in has seven bends Eight circles.What you see is the green earth, which will not make you feel restless.

"I always feel that if I don't do something, this place will decline even more."

"You went out to study in college, then Lin Zhengqing, did he not study since elementary school? Or did he not have the opportunity to go out to study?"

Lin Zhicheng glanced at him, sat next to him and said, "I don't know very well, he and I were in the same year, and we had a good time when we were young, but one year there was news that his parents passed away, leaving him behind. I gave him a sum of money, and then he finished junior high school here and never studied again. I went out to study in high school, and I never contacted him again. According to my parents, he has changed since then. Very silent."
