I am at odds with the school grass

After dinner, the girls go to take a shower first, and the boys are behind.

Wen Chenyang buried today's sweet potatoes in the pile of plant ash and simmered, planning to have them as a supper later.

Su Yike moved his sleeping bag and luggage out of the tent, and said to Wang Mingran, "Mingran, I will share a tent with you today."

Wang Mingran, who was washing the dishes, turned around and replied, "Okay."

Of course Wen Chenyang knew what Su Yike's intentions were, and deliberately asked, "President, do you think I'm too noisy?"

Su Yike glanced at Gu Xizhe and smiled, "No, this is not a new member. As the team leader, I have to arrange his accommodation."

Wen Chenyang and Gu Xizhe looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and then they looked away.

He still doesn't know what kind of mood and attitude he should have to face Gu Xizhe now, they finally separated, and finally everything went on the right track, he was afraid of returning to his original shape again.

Gu Xizhe knew that Wen Chenyang didn't want to live in a tent with him, so he didn't force it, "Senior Brother Su, you don't need to move, I brought my own tent and sleeping bag."

"That's fine, you arrange it yourself, but for me, I'll stay with Mingran." What Su Yike thought was that even if the two of them separated, he wouldn't sleep in the same tent with Wen Chenyang in front of Gu Xizhe.

Gu Xizhe started to make tents for himself. This piece of land was not too big, half of it was for them to camp, and the other half for daily activities.

Gu Xizhe pitched his tent next to Wen Chenyang, and the two tents happened to be next to each other.

The weather was cold, and after a whole day of physical work, the others got into the tent to rest after nine o'clock. Wen Chenyang sat by the fire and took out a cigarette to smoke.

He still feels that Gu Xizhe's sudden appearance here is a bit unreal, as if it was a scene he saw in a dream.During the half month that he was separated from him, Wen Chenyang often dreamed about him, dreamed that he was married to a former heroine, lived a happy life, and dreamed that they got back together, Gu Xizhe quarreled with his parents because of him, Ye Zhiying knelt down and begged him to leave.

A cigarette quickly came to an end, and he extinguished the cigarette butt, and the fire next to him was almost burnt out, leaving a little flame, which illuminated the surroundings flickeringly.

Gu Xizhe came out of the simple shower room, his hair was still wet, and saw Wen Chenyang sitting by the fire alone, he walked over and sat down beside him, "Where do you want to wash your clothes?"

Wen Chenyang didn't completely ignore him. After all, the two of them broke up peacefully without any quarrel. He replied: "There is a stream at the foot of the mountain, you can go there to wash, everyone will pass by, you just follow it when the time comes. "

"Well, let me wash your clothes by the way."

"No need, I can wash it myself."

Gu Xizhe didn't force it anymore.

Both of them were silent for a moment, Wen Chenyang said: "Gu Xizhe, you should go back tomorrow."

"why?"

"Tomorrow is the 28th Chinese New Year, and the Chinese New Year will be in two days. You go back to spend the New Year with your parents."

Gu Xizhe said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible this year."

Wen Chenyang was curious, "How to say?"

"Last night, I had a showdown with them, telling them about my sexuality, and I think they need time to reacquaint themselves with me and accept that I'm not who they thought I was."

He obviously had a falling out with his parents in the cold war, yet he spoke in a calm manner.

For some reason, Wen Chenyang's anger suddenly came up, "Why are you crazy! There is nothing wrong with your sexual orientation! What are you going to show off with them!"

Gu Xizhe said: "You are right, my sexual orientation is not a problem, I readily accept and admit that I fell in love with someone of the same sex, this is not a mental illness, nor is it a whim."

Wen Chenyang felt that he was going to be pissed off by him, "Gu Xizhe, I really can't do anything with you."

Gu Xizhe thought that he would say such things, so he didn't feel disappointed, "I didn't come here this time to save you."

Wen Chenyang cooperated with his lie and said: "I know, you want to camp in this barren mountain."

Gu Xizhe corrected, "I just want to see you."

Wen Chenyang was stunned for a while.

Gu Xizhe said: "I don't force you to be with me, and I don't prevent you from finding the most suitable way of life for you. I just want to see you when I miss you."

As if something fell into his eyes, the eye sockets were a little sour, Wen Chenyang's lips moved, and after all he didn't know what to say, "Idiot!" blurted out, then he pursed his lips and stood up, "I'm going to sleep .”

He got up and went into the tent and zipped it up.

The inside of the tent was pitch black, Wen Chenyang sat on the mat with his calves hugged, his forehead pointing to his knees, he thought, he was going to suffer from insomnia again today.

There was also movement in the nearby tent, Gu Xizhe was the last to sleep, and he put out the fire before entering the tent.

The two tents of the two of them happened to be next to each other, and each other turned over at night, so maybe they could hear each other.

Wen Chenyang's heart was in a mess, Gu Xizhe's sudden appearance, and his words just now made everything out of his control, and now he is neither advancing nor retreating.

Gu Xizhe had no idea what kind of lifestyle he could have that suited him?All he did was to hope that he could walk the path of a normal person, be kind to his parents, and not turn against each other.

But he just doesn't.

At this point, what should he do?

-

On the 28th of the New Year, people in the village also began to prepare ingredients for the New Year. Some killed pigs, some made glutinous rice cakes, and some fried peanuts and melon seeds to make deep-fried fruits.

Volunteers’ tasks today are not centralized. Six people will be divided into three groups. Two people will help a family make wine, two people will help a family grind rice noodles, and two will help collect cabbage and radishes.

The tasks are not heavy, if they can finish in the morning, they can rest in the afternoon.

Su Yike said: "The easier thing here is to collect vegetables, Sufen, Xu Ting, you two girls, go."

Wang Mingran suggested: "Team leader, it's not tiring to work with men and women."

Su Yike laughed and said, "Then who do you want to be with?"

Wang Mingran glanced at Zhang Sufen, blushing, "It's all fine."

Xu Ting saw Wang Mingran's thoughts, and she took the initiative to stand beside Gu Xizhe, "Mingran, then you and Su Fen will be in a group, and I will be in a group with Senior Brother Gu."

From the corner of the eye, Xu Ting was standing next to Gu Xizhe, very close to each other, Wen Chenyang subconsciously looked away, feeling sour in his heart.

Gu Xizhe's eyes fell on Wen Chenyang, and he subconsciously moved to the side, keeping a little distance from Xu Ting.

As a sensible person, Su Yike sensed that the atmosphere was not right. He coughed dryly, "Actually, making wine here is the hardest part. You have to chop firewood and carry water. Both Xi Zhe and Chen Yang are tall and big. You two go, tomorrow." Ran and Su Fen went to collect vegetables, and then Xu Ting and I went to grind rice noodles. Do you have any comments?"

Wang Mingran said: "No objection."

Xu Ting said, "Me neither."

Su Yike looked at Wen Chenyang, "Where is Chenyang?"

Wen Chenyang whispered: "No."

Su Yike didn't ask Gu Xizhe, after all, he is absolutely impossible to have an opinion, he said: "Alright, let's arrange it like this, if we can get things done in advance, we will go to the rapeseed field when we have time in the afternoon Take pictures and have a picnic.”

The six people were divided into three groups and went to different places to perform tasks. The family Wen Chenyang and the others were going to was the old man who gave them sweet potatoes yesterday. There were two old people in the family, over 70 years old. Although the two old people can take care of themselves, they are just poor households. , Brewing some wine throughout the year can sell some money.

Their method of brewing wine is still very traditional, using the principle of distillation. The lower pot is mashed sweet potato fermented for several days, and the upper pot is filled with water. During the wine making process, a fire must be kept under the stove to let the wine in the sweet potato mash evaporate. When it comes out, it will form water droplets when it meets the cold water pot above, and flow out along a pipe, that is wine.

Wen Chenyang did not show any unwillingness to be in the same group as Gu Xizhe, the two assigned work, Gu Xizhe went to fetch water from a spring five to six hundred meters away, and Wen Chenyang was responsible for chopping firewood and lighting the fire.

Wen Chenyang sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. From a distance, he saw Gu Xizhe carrying two buckets of water back. This guy had obviously never picked anything before. The two buckets of water wobbled on the pole, spilling a lot, and he wrinkled He frowned, seemingly helpless.

Wen Chenyang didn't know how to pick things before, but it was only after being taught by the villagers that he understood. Unexpectedly, the genius Gu Xizhe also knew something he didn't know.

He got up to meet him, "Gu Xizhe, can you carry water?"

Gu Xizhe looked at his slightly wet trouser legs, and said helplessly, "It seems that the method is wrong."

"Put it down, I'll teach you."

Gu Xizhe put the burden off his shoulders, Wen Chenyang showed him a demonstration, and explained while demonstrating, "It's actually very simple. When you pick it up, you must hold two buckets firmly, and hold one with your hands in front of the other. In this way, it will not wobble and save a lot of energy.”

Gu Xizhe looked at him, with a faint smile on his face, Wen Chenyang met the man's smile, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at, do you understand?"

"Understood, thank you, Master Wen, for your explanation."

Wen Chenyang put down the burden, "Okay, you can pick it up yourself."

According to the method Wen Chenyang said, Gu Xizhe stabilized the front and rear buckets with both hands. Sure enough, the water in the bucket did not shake so violently.

After Gu Xizhe came back from fetching water, he scooped out the already hot water from the pot, and then poured in new cold water.

The hot water scooped out can be used. The sun is good today. Taking advantage of the hot water, the two elderly people can just wash all the things in the house and prepare for the new year.

Gu Xizhe carried water back and forth three times, and when he came back for the third time, he saw Wen Chenyang holding a firewood taller than him in one hand and a sickle in the other, trying to cut it off in the middle.

The moment Wen Chenyang lowered the knife, Wen Chenyang's hand was poked by a branch, and the sickle in his hand fell to the ground.

Gu Xizhe put down the burden on his shoulders, and ran over, "Where did you get it?"

Wen Chenyang shook his head, "It's okay, I accidentally poked it."

Gu Xizhe held up his hand and looked, his index finger was poked by a sharp branch above the firewood, a piece of skin was poked, and a lot of blood flowed, "It needs to be dealt with."

"It's not that hypocritical, it will scar later."

Wen Chenyang wanted to pull his hand back, but Gu Xizhe held on to his wrist tightly, "Don't move." He took out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket, pulled one out, and wiped his blood , and then take another sheet soaked in water, and wipe the area around the wound clean to avoid bacterial infection.

In addition, disinfection is needed. Gu Xizhe checked the things to bring for camping in advance, and he also brought some items for emergency wound treatment, but put them in his backpack. He said: "You wait for me here, I will go back and get it something."

Before Wen Chenyang could speak, Gu Xizhe ran out like a wind. He ran towards the camping place, running very fast.

Wen Chenyang wrapped his fingers in a paper towel and continued to squat next to the stove to stuff firewood into it.

Gu Xizhe ran back in less than 5 minutes, holding a simple medical kit in his hand, which contained disinfectant, painkillers, and stomach medicine.

Wen Chenyang sat on a low stool, Gu Xizhe squatted in front of him with one knee, patiently helped him disinfect the wound, and then bandaged it with gauze.

Wen Chenyang looked at Gu Xizhe quietly from a distance, the tip of his nose was the faint scent of laundry detergent on his body, this feeling was very familiar and warm.

During the time we broke up with him, he felt like a dandelion floating in the air, floating without any purpose or expectation, but once Gu Xizhe appeared, he became his landing destination.

"Gu Xizhe." He spoke in a very soft voice.

Gu Xizhe looked up at him, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Wen Chenyang shook his head, and swallowed back what he wanted to say, "It doesn't hurt."

Gu Xizhe wrapped his fingers for him, "For the time being, you can't touch the water. When you need to touch the water, call me and I'll help you. Also, don't chop this firewood, just sit by the side and rest. I'll do it."

Wen Chenyang said: "It's a small injury, it won't happen."

"Then be careful."

"Understood." Wen Chenyang picked up the long piece of firewood that hurt him just now from the side, and didn't bother to cut it off, and directly stuffed it into the stove.

Suddenly thought of something, he said: "Oops, my taro!"

Gu Xizhe couldn't understand, "What taro?"

Wen Chenyang picked up the iron shelf and bent over to rummage in the stove, "Grandma brought it over just now, and I buried it inside, I don't know if it was burnt."

Wen Chenyang's index finger was wrapped in gauze, and it was very awkward to hold the iron clip. Gu Xizhe took the iron clip from his hand and helped him turn out the taro inside.

The taro was buried in the ashes, and it was not burnt. Gu Xizhe picked up one casually, blew on the ashes, peeled off the skin, and handed it to Wen Chenyang. Wen Chenyang looked at the taro that had been peeled until only the tail and a little skin remained It was still steaming, he took it with his left hand, took a bite, it was very powdery, and the smell of taro was very strong, he said, "It's delicious, would you like to have one?"

"Yeah." Gu Xizhe picked up a taro from the ground, didn't dislike being dirty, peeled the skin and tasted it, it was indeed delicious, after eating one, he peeled another taro for Wen Chenyang, and then went to fetch water.
