Be gentle

Compared with the time when Huaran left, Huajia Village has changed a lot. It is basically difficult to see low and simple old wooden houses and brick bungalows.

Bai Shu parked his car at the entrance of the village, and went to the village office with Hua Ran.After Hua Jianguo resigned as the village head, he seldom took care of the village affairs, especially after the birth of his great-grandson, he devoted all his attention to the children.

Now it is his son who is the village head. Because of the immigration from the high mountains, the county sent a young secretary here to guide the affairs of the village and do ideological work for the villagers.

When Huaran and Baishu arrived, the office was surrounded by many villagers, and many young people who were working outside came back to learn about the situation.There are pros and cons to immigration. Some people are happy, some understand it, and some are dissatisfied.

The work in the village is difficult, and some disputes occur from time to time, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Bai Shuyi and Huaran saw that the staff had no time to take care of him, so they decided to pay homage to Huaran's grandfather and father first.

The mountain road was rugged, but fortunately it was not far away. The two walked for about half an hour to reach their destination.I haven't been here for two years, but the grave is not desolate, and it can be seen that someone comes to clean and weed from time to time.As soon as Bai Shu took out food, drinks and paper money from the basket, he offered incense to the two elders.

The temperature in the mountains and forests in winter is very low, Bai Shu hugged Hua Ran, and stood silently with her for a while.

Huaran looked a little sentimental, "Thinking of it, I can be regarded as unfilial, I haven't been back to see them in the past two years."

"Where do you have time to come back when you are abroad? Grandpa and Dad will definitely understand you. We don't pay attention to form, but to our heart."

Huaran shook her head, "I can't come back by myself, so I can ask someone to take care of it. It's just that I don't want to have anything to do with the village chief's family because of that gap..."

As soon as Bai Shu heard that her attitude softened besides self-blame, he understood what she had seen.

"I don't think the area around the grave is desolate, is it..."

Huaran leaned her head on her shoulder, "It must be the village chief."

Bai Shuyi sighed.

The entanglement between Huaran's mother and daughter and this Huajia Village is almost written in blood and tears. After Hua Guyi and Hua Xunshuang passed away, Xiao Zhen has no relationship with this Huajia Village except her daughter.But Huaran is different, she was born and grew up here, and has an indelible mark on her body.

And Hua Jianguo is the most concrete manifestation of Huaran's contradictory feelings for Huajia Village.Bai Shuyi could neither encourage her to let go, nor let her continue to be bound by it.

"Don't think about it, Ranran. After the Huajia Village is relocated, we can come back to see them every year, and we don't have to worry about meeting anyone."

"Um……"

When Bai Shu saw that she was still not in high spirits, he rolled his eyes, thinking about it.

"Speaking of which, the names of grandfather and father are very nice. I thought it was either the founding of the country or the founding of the army in those days."

Huaran's grandfather was called Hua Guyi, and his father was called Hua Xunshuang. They were indeed quite different from the more common names of their time.

Huaran was really distracted, and explained: "Grandpa likes ancient poetry, so he is very particular about naming, and my name is also chosen by grandpa."

Bai Shu smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, I thought your name was nice when I first heard it, and it immediately reminded me of a poem."

Huaran became a little interested, "Which sentence did you think of?"

There are many poems with flowers and dyes, she is very curious if Bai Shuyi can think of the source of his name.

Bai Shu looked into her eyes, and slowly said: "I think of 'pomegranate flowers are all over the stream, and the stream women wash the flowers and dye the white clouds'."

This sentence comes from Li He's "Green Chapter Seals". The theme of the poem is not charming, but Bai Shuyi immediately thought of it.

Huaran smiled and said: "Does my grandfather still use my name to mock current affairs? Actually, my name has something to do with my father. It is taken from Lu You's "Butterfly Love Flower" "The frost cleared overnight, and the trees by the lake were dyed." "

Bai Shuyi didn't care, "But no matter how I think about it, my sentence is more suitable, 'the girl of the stream washes flowers and dyes white clouds', there are fairies, and there are also white clouds."

"Where is it?"

Hua Ran listened to what she said, knowing that it was a trap, she couldn't help jumping down.

"The fairy is you, the white cloud is me, and the flowers dye the white cloud. Doesn't that mean we are destined? Grandpa is so prescient."

Huaran found it interesting and sweet, "You have a lot of reason..."

"Then don't you think so? A coincidence is more a reflection of fate."

"Yes, yes, yes." Huaran couldn't talk to her, and didn't feel the need to talk to her, and even thought it would be good to be persuaded by her.

After this, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.The two stood for a while, waited for the incense to burn out before extinguishing the sparks, packed up their things and returned the same way.

It took more than an hour to go back and forth, but Huaran and Bai Shuyi didn't feel bored and tired.The two are connected with each other, there is endless joy when they talk, and they are extremely peaceful when they are not talking.

The two returned to the village office holding hands, talking and laughing. Seeing that the crowd was no longer as crowded as before, they were about to line up for work when suddenly someone rushed out of the crowd while cursing.

"...What's so great about a college student? What's so great about a village branch secretary? He's just a small village official who really treats himself like a dish? Why does our family get the least money? Why—"

Who is this cursing person but Hua Teng?

Almost the moment he appeared, Bai Shuyi and Huaran were on guard at the same time.

Hua Teng didn't see them at the beginning, and didn't see the two of them until he took three or four steps back. Halfway through his shout, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

"It's you! It's you!" Hua Teng's eyes were red, and he suddenly rushed towards Bai Shuyi and Huaran, "How dare you appear in front of me!"

Hua Teng was detained and had a criminal record, but his job search has not been smooth since then.In addition, his ex-girlfriend tortured him, so he could only farm in his hometown in the end.He held a grudge against this, and tried to find trouble with Huaran and Bai Shuyi several times, but finally gave up because he couldn't find anyone.

But now that the two of them appeared in front of him, and they looked proud, the flames of hatred in his heart instantly ignited.

"Hua Teng, are you sick?"

Bai Shu subconsciously wanted to protect Hua Ran, but someone stopped Hua Teng before that.The man has a strong figure, and he can hold Hua Teng with one hand.

"Brother Shuanzi..."

Bai Shu also recognized this person when he heard Huaran's cry, he was Hua Jianguo's eldest grandson.

"Shuanzi, what are you doing? Huaran didn't fall in love with me, did she just fall in love with you? She doesn't regard herself as a member of Huajia Village anymore, why do you still help her? If it wasn't for her, if it wasn't for her, I would Will it become like this?"

Shuanzi looked at Hua Teng and sneered, "Tengzi, all the people in the village have eyes and can see what shameful appearance you are. As for who it is because of, don't you know it yourself?"

Hua Teng has excellent grades and good looks since he was a child. As the first college student in the village, who didn't praise him when he was mentioned?Boys of similar age to them are all compared by him, but I don't know how many of them are jealous of him in their hearts.

Shuanzi also had low self-esteem and jealousy.

But since she brought Hua Teng back to the village with her father last time, and saw him hysterical, unreasonable, and self-degenerate, he never had such thoughts.

Reading can indeed change one's destiny. Hua Teng spent more than 20 years of hard work, but when he got the opportunity to compete fairly with others, he spent his mind on heresy.He resented his poor birth, complained about the injustice in the workplace, and was jealous of his well-off colleagues, but he never found the reason from himself.

He obviously had a brighter future than them, but was wasted by himself.

After returning to Huajia Village, he was unwilling to work on cultivating traditional Chinese medicine. Relying on his status as a college student, he ate his laziness every day, often had disputes with others, and turned his dissatisfaction into anger to vent to others.

In the past two years, he has changed from the pride of Huajia Village, which is praised by everyone, to the village hooligan that everyone hides from.And to this day, he still believes that all this was caused by others.

Hua Tengmang returned to Mang, but he was lazy, lazy and powerless, so he was Shuanzi's opponent, when his wrist was twisted by the opponent, he immediately cried out in pain.

"He's beating someone. The village chief's son, Hua Shuanzi, is beating someone. All the villagers should take a look. The village chief's family is bullying..."

The others didn't take his words seriously at all, and watched the excitement with a smile.

When people fall, they really don't need etiquette and shame. The shame of a dignified college student is not even as shameful as these peasants.

"That's enough," Shuan Zi pushed him away, "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your parents, how can they hold their heads up in the village if this goes on like this!"

Hua Teng was staggered by the push, folded his arms and scolded: "What village is not a village? Huajia Village is about to disappear, and your father's village head will be the end. Giving you a hat really makes me an official." , can you control me?"

The people around shook their heads repeatedly, Shuan Zi was helpless against him, he couldn't beat him, couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, and he still had the energy to fight him.

After watching the play for a while, Bai Shu found it inconceivable that Hua Teng, who hadn't seen him for two years, had turned into such a virtue.Although Hua Teng was hypocritical at the beginning, he cared about face, and his hypocrisy was almost equal to that of her pious father.

"Ranran, don't say I forgot about him, I didn't expect it to become like this."

After all, Huaran grew up with Hua Teng, seeing him as a completely changed person, besides sighing, she was even more puzzled.

"I didn't expect..."

The encounters in this life are really amazing. Huaran never expected to become what she is today, but she has come to where she is today step by step without knowing it.The former Hua Teng probably never thought that he would become what he is now, but what is he thinking at the moment?

Huaran doesn't know.

She only knew that no matter what the reason for the difference was, she was the lucky one.

The author has something to say: I said it quickly, but not as fast as the three or four chapters.With the extra words, it should last for half a month, or even a month.
