shame

The next day, there was no scorching bright sunlight outside the window, only a cloudy blue sky.The dark clouds all over last night were indeed an omen, and it started to rain the next day.

Rain is also good, dispelling the noisy cicadas and endless heat in summer, not to mention that rainy days in the countryside are more comfortable and comfortable, and the scenery is very different from sunny days, like two very different pictures.However, if the rain does not stop for a whole day, besides staying in the house and feeling bored, you have to get used to the inexplicable damp smell.

Xia He spent the whole morning reading and listening to music in his room, which is considered leisurely and elegant.He enjoyed this kind of tranquility very much. It was different from when he was in the city. Although he often completed these things alone, there was always a trace of irritability in his heart.For example, when encountering problems that can't be solved by thinking hard, sentences that are extremely boring but have to be memorized repeatedly, the crying sound of the children next door, the sound of cars, and calling, these endless trivial things always make him impetuous for no reason.

But in such a place, such a rainy day, the same thing, the nature has changed.

In the afternoon, he stood under the eaves and looked at the misty hills in the distance, with the sound of pattering rain in his ears.As the heavy rain turned to light rain, the small stream in front of the door was filled with water, and the sound of flowing began to rattle.

Uncle was teaching Chen Chen to do homework in the living room. Seeing that Xia He was bored, he said, "They are playing cards behind the house, do you want to go and see?"

Xia He recovered and responded, and his uncle added: "There is a young man who is about your age and grew up in the city. He just came back two days ago. Maybe you can meet him."

Xia He naturally knew who he was talking about, thinking about the night tour last night, now Gu Sheng's blurred face in the darkness was still dangling in front of his eyes.He replied: "You mean Gu Sheng, I go to the same school as him."

The uncle didn't seem to expect it, and there was a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth: "That's just right, I was afraid that you would be bored if you stayed here for two days. Since you have classmates, it will be much more fun."

Xia He smiled and said nothing.

"I'm going with you?"

He raised his eyes and saw his uncle looking at him with a friendly look. He wanted to say no, but blurted out, "Okay." '

So, my uncle explained a few words to Chenchen, and then called him to go through the back door together.The distance between the two houses is very close. Walking through the stone steps of the back door, you will arrive at the front door of the house.

The two of them braved the rain, and as soon as they reached the steps in front of the door, they heard the sound of calling cards from inside the house.

"Three kings with a pair."

"I'll blow it up, hey, sorry about that."

"Wang Bang!"

This sentence was said by Gu Sheng.

Xia He followed his uncle into the door and touched the raindrops on his cheek.

The few locals at the card table saw them coming in and called out 'Old Xia'.This sentence is called uncle.

"You want two too?"

Uncle smiled and waved his hands: "No, I'll come over and take a look." He took a closer look: "Looking at you like this, you must have made money, right?"

"What are you earning? Let this young man earn it all." The man said and pointed at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was triumphant, shuffling the cards and saying, "It can't be my fault, I'm lucky, there's nothing I can do about it."

With his familiar tone, it seems that he can easily get along with everyone, no matter how much generation gap there is.After shuffling the cards, he winked at an uncle next to him, signaling him to deal the cards.Then he picked up the cigarette case from the table, took one in his mouth, and then handed the case to everyone, not knowing whether it was a gesture of goodwill, or just being good at the price.

He said, "Let's smoke this, Zhonghua."

Those middle-aged men who were usually reluctant to spend money on cigarettes showed delighted eyes, yo, this is a good cigarette.

Gu Sheng seemed to be affirmed by others in a certain aspect, the involuntary raised corner of his mouth, and his eyes full of wisdom all the time made Xia He feel that he was not the boy who fought with him, but an adult who knew the world. .

"You want one too?"

Gu Sheng looked at Xia Zhenhua and asked.

"I don't need it anymore, I quit early."

Gu Sheng nodded, turned his gaze to meet Xia He's, then moved away with a smile.

"Who is this guy? I haven't seen him before."

The uncle glanced at Xia He, then turned to ask Xia Zhenhua.

Zhenhua replied: "My nephew, come here to play."

Xia He smiled at the man, hiding his sudden embarrassment.

"Oh, he looks very energetic." The uncle's eyes swept back and forth on him, and his tone sounded like a compliment, but also like an opinion on an item.No matter what it is, Xia He doesn't like others to look at him or judge him, but out of politeness, he always wears a cold smile on his face.

"Sit here."

Someone dragged the chair away to call him over, and his uncle asked him what he would like to drink. This place is the only canteen in the village, and he can drink a lot.He perfunctorily said "anything is fine", then walked to the chair and sat down, just next to Gu Sheng.

Several people at the poker table had already started another round of poker, and Gu Sheng won again in a row, causing everyone to boo and shake their heads.

Xia He looked at the cards falling on the table one after another, Gu Sheng stood up and stretched out of his corner of the eye.He was wearing a pair of light blue summer shorts and an unbuttoned gray short-sleeved shirt on his upper body. His chest and waist were exposed to everyone's eyes, with a youthful and healthy air.

As a result, Xia He's gaze was attracted to him unconsciously, but he only pretended to glance subconsciously, and didn't look any further.

A silver chain was hung around his neck. His skin was a light wheat color, but it was more fair. His body was firm and fleshy. In comparison, Xia He was a little thinner.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, can you play a round for me?"

Gu Sheng suddenly said to Xia He that his tone was not only questioning but also commanding.It feels very similar to the phrase 'Don't let me see you again'.

Xia He happily agreed, then got up and sat in his seat, the seat was still warm.

During the several cloudy days that continued to rain, everyone had nothing to do, and almost all of them were spent at the poker table.Occasionally look at the sky outside the window, and complain a few words: "When will this rain last, it's okay if it doesn't end."

I don't know if this is a false impetuousness or real ease.

After the sky cleared, the earth seemed to be revived again, and it became more moist.

Gu Sheng was very playful, and he didn't go out for two or three days, feeling like he was bored.In his words, the buttocks and the chair grow together, so uncomfortable.In the past, he liked to run, running at night because he couldn't get up in the morning.But Xiahe has never known him before. The most subjective understanding of him is that he is a gangster in school with average grades.But getting to know him in the past few days, I feel that he is more like a big boy next door, very sunny, good at chatting, and has an irresistible and dangerous atmosphere faintly.

He smoked, drank, and took occasional small bets with friends for pleasure.

"He may also have many good sides, but he doesn't know it."

Before going to sleep, Xia He closed his eyes and said in his heart.

In the first few days when he came here, Gu Sheng almost got together with Dajiang. Later, Dajiang's grandma fell ill and was hospitalized, so he needed to follow him to the hospital to take care of him.So after Gu Sheng lost his partner, he felt bored, so he helped his relatives to work in the fields.He was wearing a straw hat and standing on the ridge with a hoe. Occasionally he saw Xia He passing by, and he would say hello, but Xia He just glanced at him and left.

One afternoon, Xia He was helping his grandma fold vegetable leaves in front of the hall when he heard footsteps outside the door.He looked up and saw Gu Sheng standing at the threshold, holding two poles in his hand."Going fishing?" he asked.

Xia He knew that if Da Jiang was there, he would not think of himself, nor would he stand at the backlit door and ask himself in a pleading tone, "Go fishing?" '

But he put down what he was doing and said 'yes'.In the final analysis, I also panicked when I was idle.
