Although they fell into the water and caught a cold and were frightened, fortunately neither Xi Zhikong nor Jiang Yan got sick, they were just listless all night and alive and kicking again the next day.

Seeing Xi Zhikong's energy, Gu Yishu's temper that he didn't lose last night moved to today, and punished him to stand in the yard for an hour, but after the hour was over, he still didn't intend to ask him to rest.

Jiang Wen felt sorry for Xi Zhikong but couldn't persuade Gu Yishu, so she pushed Jiang Yan into the yard to stand there, shouting deliberately: "Say! Why did you take my brother to play in such a dangerous place! Mom and I How many times have you said that!"

Jiang Yan immediately understood what she meant, and lowered her head very cooperatively and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I was wrong. I will not take my brother to play in dangerous places in the future."

"Wrong? I don't think you know what's wrong at all! Look how scared Xiaokong is?!"

Jiang Wen winked at him, and he began to cry again: "Xiao Kong, I'm sorry, it's all my brother's fault..."

The mother and son sang together in the yard for a few minutes. Gu Yishu came out with two baked sweet potatoes in his hand and stood on the steps looking at the three people in the yard. He frowned and said, "Just let me get used to the empty seats!"

She walked down and stuffed a sweet potato into Xi Zhikong's arms: "Run away to dangerous places for me in the future, be careful that I don't break your legs!"

Standing hungry, Xi Zhikong lowered his head and repeatedly admitted his mistakes, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Yishu squatting beside Jiang Yan peeling sweet potatoes for him, and he almost cried in grievance.

"Good boy Yanyan, did mom make you stand here on purpose to make auntie feel bad? Go home with auntie!" Gu Yishu joked, and fed the peeled sweet potato to Jiang Yan's mouth, and Jiang Wen said with a blank look : "Look how you got used to that kid."

Jiang Wen shrugged, walked to Xi Zhikong and picked him up, "Let's go, Yanyan will be with your mother, Xiaokong can only be a family with Aunt Wen, go, Auntie will peel sweet potatoes for you."

……

Jiang Yan stood by the edge of the small pond, a gust of cool wind blew in, causing ripples on the water surface.He squatted down and picked up a stone and threw it in, a little water splashed on Xi Zhikong's trouser legs.

Xi Zhikong turned to look at him, raised his voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You said that if Uncle Gu hadn't come over when we were young, would we have died in the water?" He walked a few steps towards the bank, stretched his waist, and squinted his eyes at the sun in the sky, "Our Is it also counted as-"Life and death together"?"

"Speaking of this, you seem to have saved my life." Xi Zhikong looked at the opposite dam, and said, "Tell me, this pond is not very wide, and it doesn't look high over there. , why did we want to go back then?"

Jiang Yan patted him on the back of the neck, and said with a smile: "Are you stupid? You were so young at that time, so you don't feel tall or far away?"

Xi Zhikong lowered his head and remained silent for a while before saying: "Jiang Yan, you said that the sky is big and the earth is big, and the future is still so long. If we break up in the future, and look back at these things now, will we feel that we are very sad?" Stupid?"

"...the seat is empty."

Hearing Jiang Yan call his full name, Xi Zhikong knew that he had said something wrong, he didn't even dare to look back at Jiang Yan, he hesitated and said: "What, what are you doing..."

Jiang Yan walked under a towering tree below the road, stood on the exposed root and called him again: "Come here."

Xi Zhikong sighed softly, looked back, and took a few steps forward slowly.

"What's the matter... so fierce..."

He pouted, threw the branch in his hand and walked over, looked up at him, "What are you doing!"

Jiang Yan looked around, there was no one on the shore, even if someone passed by on the road behind, they would not see them, he raised his hand and hooked Xi Zhikong's neck and asked him: "What did you just say?"

"I said why are you so fierce!" Xi Zhikong knew that this person must have settled with him because of the word "breakup" just now, cleared his throat and corrected without a trace: "I can't say you are fierce, now I will So, what will you do when you get old?"

"I'm getting old—" Jiang Yan was ready to kiss this unrestrained person first and then teach him a lesson. He didn't expect this little clever ghost to be so good at "coaxing", so he opened his head loudly. taste his words

Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't that right? It's fine if you've been interested in me lately, and you always call me by my full name to scare me..." Xi Zhikong was actually very guilty. Of course he knew that Jiang Yan was not so easy to fool, but It was just procrastinating for time to let those two words slowly disappear from his mind.

Jiang Yan didn't tell the truth, and followed his words: "Calling you by your full name is just to scare you? Then don't you always call me by my full name?"

"I didn't mean it when I called you by your full name!" Xi Zhikong blinked his big eyes, making Jiang Yan lose all anger in his heart.

He stared straight at Xi Zhikong for a while, and then said: "You just angered Brother Yan, don't try to fool me, think about how to coax me, hurry up."

Xi Zhikong couldn't play this childish game anymore, he raised his arms around Jiang Yan's neck, tiptoed over to touch Jiang Yan's thin lips, quickly pecked a few times, and said softly: Said it was not for sex, but always tricked me into kissing you."

"Aren't you kissing me? Why do you still have time to talk?" Jiang Yan pulled the bangs on his forehead, took him into his arms and kissed him.

I heard that the small pond will be preserved during the demolition. The developer decided to expand it into a lotus pond. The big tree where the two embraced each other will be well protected, and then a lake pavilion will be built at the original dam.

The cool wind kept blowing up the branches that fell from the tree and fell around the two of them, gently sweeping over Xi Zhikong's trouser legs.

Jiang Yan hugged Xi Zhikong, and whispered in his ear: "I'm not afraid of Kongkong saying those two words, the sky is big, the sky is long, and the future is so long, but I have long been used to being around Kongkong, and it won't work for someone else." , you have to get used to it."

"Why are you talking so much?"

Xi Zhikong held his face, blinked his eyes and kissed him again.

Later, the lunch at Uncle Gu's house was about to be ready, and the two walked into the room one after the other and just sat down when Uncle Gu's cousin Gu Puppy came back.

Xi Zhikong was a little embarrassed looking at the people who came in. He didn't know what this cousin's scientific name was. He had been called Gu Puppy since he was a child, so he couldn't be called - Uncle Puppy?

This cousin Gu Xiaogou was holding a plucked and scalded chicken in his hand, and greeted Jiang Wen and Lian Guangji warmly.

"Xiaokong, this is your doggy cousin, don't you recognize him? Call your cousin!"

Xi Zhikong quickly called his uncle, and Jiang Yan followed Xi Zhikong to call his uncle, and then the two sat on a bench obediently.

Lian Guangji handed the dog cousin a business card and introduced himself: "Lian Guangji, Jiang Yan's father, thank Uncle Gu for saving Yan Yan's life."

Uncle Gu waved his hand and said boldly: "Hey, what a big deal. I am very happy to see the two babies grow up so big! My Miner left early, so I trouble you to take care of this baby. I want to thank you." !"

Min'er is Gu Yishu's nickname, which is what the elders in the village call her.Everyone knows that Min'er can study, and when she came back from high school, she would send her children to the elders. She gave birth to such a well-behaved and smart daughter.

"It's nothing, it's not troublesome at all, Xiaokong is good, I feel like I'm taking care of my own son." Jiang Wen said, stretching out her hand and pinching Xi Zhikong's cheek, "It's good to have a banquet with my family. "

Uncle Gu wiped away his tears: "It's fine, it's fine, Min'er really has a short life, Lord Yan is so cruel, the children are still so young..."

Gu Xiaogou slaughtered a chicken and came out of the kitchen. When he passed the living room, he persuaded him a few words, "Dad, Xiaokong is being taken care of by Sister Jiang now. Don't worry. Look at you. He's coming to play." , be happy."

"Puppy! Puppy, come here quickly! Come here!" Uncle Gu called Gu Puppy over. Gu Puppy still had blood in his hands. Uncle Gu scolded: "I told you to come here quickly! What's the use of guarding those chickens every day!"

Gu Xiaogou has set up a breeding farm. The chickens have been a little "moody" in the past two days, and the egg production rate has dropped. He is very busy.Today, his father called him back and said that he had a distinguished guest, so he brought a chicken and came back to entertain the guest.

"Dad, I'm raising chickens scientifically, I'm not doing research—"

"Don't talk about it! Haosheng is doing business with your eldest brother Lian. He stays in the country every day, and his daughter-in-law has nothing to say!" Uncle Gu rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to fry chicken in person, asking Gu Xiaogou to learn from Lian Guangji. .

Lian Guangji likes young people with ideas very much, and chatted with Gu Xiaogou about "scientific chicken raising" for a long time.After the two chatted, everyone realized that the reason why Gu Xiaogou was called Gu Xiaogou was because he was in poor health when he was a child, and he had an older sister who died of illness when he was a child. A cheap name is easy to support, and it yells and yells. This Gu puppy has been yelling for almost 30 years.

Gu's second child got married earlier than Gu's eldest, and the eldest girl was born with poor background, and died when she was eight years old. In the same year, Gu's eldest daughter was born and named Gu Yishu.

No one in the Gu family's ancestors was good at studying for three generations, so I hope this girl will be able to study hard and call her a smart nickname.

Gu Puppy was born when Gu Yishu was 17 years old. Gu Yishu gave him the name Gu Yimo according to his family.Seeing that his niece Min'er's niece is good at reading, Gu Er Er felt that the word "book" in the name played a big role, and he wholeheartedly hoped that when Gu Yimo grew up, he would be able to hold two more bottles of ink in his stomach than others.

Gu Yimo's reading is quite good, but when he chose a major in college, he chose a major related to farming, saying that he wanted to return to his hometown and lead the village to the road to prosperity.The ideal is not bad. Uncle Gu beat him up when he got home and asked him to change his major when he was a sophomore. He promised well, but after graduating from university, he borrowed money to open a farm at home, and engaged in so-called scientific chicken farming.

Uncle Gu stood at the gate of the chicken farm and listened to the roosters crowing one after another, completely giving up.

Lian Guangji heard Gu Yimo's way of raising chickens, and felt that this young man's idea was very good, but he lacked a little marketing mind, so he gave him a few pointers. Gu Yimo is a smart person, and soon understood that Lian Guangji Guangji's meaning was recorded in the notebook that he carried with him.

During the meal, Uncle Gu kept adding food to Xi Zhikong Jiangyan, probably because the old man hadn't embraced his grandson yet, the more he watched the two, the happier he was, and suddenly he remembered the two people who Gu Yishu was fostered in his house before. years.

When Gu Yishu was young, Gu’s elder brother was in poor health. Xi Zhikong’s grandmother went out with him to treat his illness for two years. Gu’s second child had no children at home, so he loved Gu Yishu as if he were his own daughter. This friendship later made Gu Yishu a family. I still remember when I have a child.

"Xiaokong, when you come to auntie's house, you have to listen to other people's words. Your uncle is really outrageous! We have all heard about that. Although Yingying and Ajie are sick, how can you do such a thing!"

As soon as Gu Yijian's family was mentioned, Xi Zhikong paused. His first reaction was to look at Jiang Wen's expression. Fortunately, Jiang Wen was in a good mood today. She brought food to Uncle Gu with a smile on her face and said, " Uncle, don't worry, we will take care of Xiaokong."

After the meal, Lian Guangji introduced Gu Yimo to a friend who was doing business with him. That friend was in the catering industry. When Gu Yimo got the call, Uncle Gu was about to cry and thanked him repeatedly.

After walking around the village again, at [-]:[-] p.m., the group of four decided to live in the [-]-acre flower sea more than [-] kilometers away in advance, so they rejected Uncle Gu's repeated good intentions to keep them here, and drove away .

Xi Zhikong in the car couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep. He leaned on Jiang Yan's shoulder and shared a pair of earphones with Jiang Yan. He vaguely heard Jiang Wen call him twice, but he didn't know whether he agreed or not. fell asleep.

The expressway has not yet been opened. Lian Guangji drove on the winding mountain road, and it took ten to twenty minutes to drive 10 kilometers on the expressway. It took [-] minutes to drive on the winding winding mountain road.Several people were a little tired, and after dinner later, they checked into a star hotel that had been booked in advance.

At this moment, the sky has not yet completely darkened, Xi Zhikong stood on the balcony and looked out, and saw the German irises outside, the blue end is connected with the warm evening, swaying with the evening wind, It looks mysterious and gentle.

Jiang Yan came out of the shower and put on his pajamas and hugged Xi Zhikong's waist from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder. Following his gaze, he also saw the blue irises moving with the wind in the evening.

"I read on the Internet that people who fell in love at the age of fifteen or sixteen will never be forgotten in this life." Xi Zhikong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, leaned against Jiang Yan, and said slowly: "Jiang Yan, I think We met too early, and we will only be 24 years old in the next seven-year itch."

He turned around and leaned against the railing, Jiang Yan put his hands on his sides and nodded.

"You're only 24 years old, maybe you will meet another kid who is seventeen or eighteen years old."

"What are you thinking, then we can get married when we are 24 years old." Jiang Yan put his hands on his shoulders, leaned over and rubbed against the tip of his nose, "You say this now, it makes me feel like we are all old Same."

Xi Zhikong seemed to have imagined Jiang Yan holding someone else to sleep with someone else, and threw himself into his arms with fear, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, I must go to a university with you, even if I can't pass the exam in a year , I will also pass the exam in another year."

"With brother here, are you afraid you won't pass the exam?" Jiang Yan turned Xi Zhikong over, pointed to the line connecting the sky and the earth in the distance, and said to him, "Did you see those irises in the farthest place?"

Xi Zhikong nodded.

"My dad said that the area of ​​irises covers more than 600 mu. Because the hotel we stayed in is located in a relatively low place, the flowers seem to bloom there at a glance.

"But in fact, beyond that line, there are two hundred acres of irises stretching out between the two mountains. You can see them tomorrow when you go to a higher viewing platform."

Xi Zhikong listened silently to Jiang Yan's words, but he actually understood what he meant, subconsciously took his hand and leaned into his arms.

"Standing here, the only line you can see is your current self. I just went to the viewing platform to see it. It seems that I will be even better after seeing it. My seat is empty.

"The world is vast, and we have a wonderful future for Kong Kong. Although I hope you will always be by my side, I want to see Kong Kong doing what I like."

Don't give up your own future just for me alone.Jiang Yan thought to himself.

However, Xi Zhikong nodded and thought for a moment, then said softly and slowly: "But the person I like is Jiang Yan, and the thing I like is staying by Jiang Yan's side, isn't that okay?"

He raised his head and turned around, his eyes reflected a few soft lights on the balcony, looking aggrieved and affectionate.

"Isn't that right?"

Jiang Yan lost outright this time, his feet are light and light at this time, as if he would rather unload his burden and have nothing in the long journey of life, but also jump into the gentle ocean under Xi Zhikong's eyes.

When he stepped down, there were waves, and then the sea breeze knocked on his face, and there was a crisp sound of ding dong ding dong in his ears.

Xi Zhikong asked again: "Is it going to work?"

"If it doesn't work, let's sign an agreement, see if this works."

"If you don't say anything, if you don't agree to me, I can find a way out for myself as soon as possible."

The wind in the ears carried the temperature of the afterglow of the setting sun. Jiang Yan held the mat and looked at a piece of blue. His soul and consciousness seemed to have drifted away, and he and the man in his arms walked forward lightly on the petals of the iris until they walked far away. the future to go.

The topic of the future seems to be more serious the closer we get, and the less we dare to make any promises lightly.

In the past, he hoped that Xi Zhikong would always be Xi Zhikong. "Jiang Yan" was only an important part of his life, not his entire life.But now he doesn't want to let go.

The huge attraction of Xi Zhikong makes people not want to let go once they have him.Jiang Yan is like this now.

He never knew that his love for Xi Zhikong would turn into a slow and domineering encroachment. Even if he tried his best to restrain himself from controlling his life, he should always remind him not to give everything to himself easily.

Everything seems to be too late.

The love of youth is like flowers blooming overnight, and like a dam bursting once, they are gorgeous and vibrant, they are sudden and long-lasting existence.Jiang Yan was already mired in the mud, those deep loves were like a vortex, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

At this moment, he even hoped to live as one person with Xi Zhikong.

So he tenderly told Xi Zhikong all the sharp thoughts in his heart: "What way to find a way out, the end of each of your roads, from this moment on, is destined to be me."
