Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

Zhang Guoyan came here a few days ago, had a drink and left without saying anything. Zhong Yiqiu felt that he seemed to have something in his heart but didn't say it, so he couldn't guess what it was.

Xiao Mingye stewed a pot of bone soup, then added various vegetables to the soup, put it in a large casserole and put it on the coal stove to cook while eating, it was warm and hot.Zhang Guoyan looked like he wanted to drink, so Xiao Mingye added fried fish, peanuts and orchid beans as appetizers.

Zhang Guoyan kept his head down, drank and didn't speak. Uncle Yi and Xiao Mingye accompanied him quietly. Zhong Yiqiu always felt that he was still a little awkward with him, and he didn't take the initiative to go up to him. He silently picked up the crispy meat from the pot and ate it.The three drank a bottle of baijiu after raising their glasses a few times. Uncle Yi stood up and said that there was still a barrel of sorghum wine in the room, and he had been reluctant to drink it, but now it was just right.

He got up and went to the back of the house to search, Zhong Yiqiu reminded him that the wine was stored in the utility room, Uncle Yi smiled as if he had drunk too much and said he forgot, and went out to the utility room again.Zhang Guoyan was a little dizzy from drinking, his face was dark red and dark purple, he had a standard Chinese character face, with big eyes and a wide mouth. When he didn't have a depressed expression on his face, he was exactly the same as the decent heroes on TV.Zhong Yiqiu thought, when he was young, he must have been very popular with elders and girls, but now he doesn't even have anyone who is willing to talk.

"Here comes the wine—" Uncle Yi entered the room and patted the snow on his body. He opened the wine and filled the glass. Zhang Guoyan picked it up and was about to drink it. Uncle Yi pressed his hand and said, "Don't drink yet."

After speaking, he took out 300 yuan from the pocket of the cotton coat and put it in Zhang Guoyan's hand, "It's Chinese New Year, let's add new clothes for the child."

Zhong Yiqiu didn't realize until now that Zhang Guoyan was hesitant to talk last time, but this time he was just drinking and not talking, so it was to borrow money...

"Brother..." Zhang Guoyan kept his head down, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't see his expression clearly, hearing his voice choked up, he wondered if he was crying?Then I saw the tabletop in front of him ticking...the wood was wet with tears.

"You don't need to say anything, just drink." Uncle Yi advised him.

Zhang Guoyan raised his face to look at him, Zhong Yiqiu's heart was shaken and uncomfortable, he had seen grown men cry before, Yu Boshan's cry was a roar of despair, a hysteria forced by powerlessness, Zhang Guoyan's cry was a relentless vent, being forced to the edge Crash.

"Brother, I have to say today..." He wiped his tears with the back of his hand, took a drink from his glass, and said in a nasal voice, "I wanted to borrow money from you last time I came here, but I couldn't open my mouth. I have spent a lot of money this year, and I don’t know when I will be able to pay it back after borrowing it in this situation... But brother, I promise you, I will definitely pay it back!”

"I know who you are, and I believe in you, so you don't have to talk about it, just celebrate the New Year first."

Zhang Guoyan cried again, beat his chest in pain and said vaguely: "You don't know! Brother, you don't know—I'm not human! The day before I came to see you last time, my little girl was taken away... "

Zhong Yiqiu was using his chopsticks to pick up vermicelli for Xiao Mingye to eat. The vermicelli was slippery and long. He lifted the chopsticks high and the bottom ones were still not out of the pot. He tremblingly filled them into the bowl. Slip - all fell into the pot, only two chopsticks were left in the air.

"Is it lost?" He opened his mouth and asked anxiously.

Xiao Mingye squeezed his thigh beside him, not letting him speak, and rubbed it lightly for fear of pain.

"Why are you..." Uncle Yi frowned anxiously, but after thinking about it, if there is a way, he would not give the child away, so he could only swallow the words back.

"I can't help it!" Zhang Guoyan thought of the little daughter he hadn't seen a few times, and burst into tears: "Following me, she will starve to death, it's better to go to a good family..."

Zhang Guoyan gave birth to four daughters in a row. Although the life was difficult and the children were hard, he did not give away or discard any of them. Zhong Yiqiu admired him before, but he did not expect that he would not be able to carry on... But thinking about it again, there is another what way?It seems that he still plans to have another child. How can he support five children with only his salary of tens of dollars a month and the meager income from the field?

"Who...will take it away?" Uncle Yi couldn't bear it.

"A distant relative of my daughter-in-law's natal family, they already have two children, but the genetic child's mother is a bit disabled, and I dare not give birth to another healthy one." Zhang Guoyan stopped crying and stared blankly at the wine in the glass , paused and continued: "They gave 200 yuan as a thank you. My wife wanted it. I said that if you took this money, it would be like killing me... I, Zhang Guoyan, will be a child seller in my life!"

Zhong Yiqiu is a very empathetic person, his nose was sore and he felt that Zhang Guoyan would say that he was going to cry, but he was too embarrassed to show it, so he took a sip from Xiao Mingye's wine glass and suppressed his emotions.

"Guoyan..." Uncle Yi was already crying, and persuaded with tears in his eyes: "You can remember this! If you treat me as your brother, just listen to me and let it go... The four daughters have been raised. , and I will be able to give you old age in the future."

Zhang Guoyan smiled wryly and waved his hands, not knowing if he had listened to it, he didn't say anything, and drank one cup after another until he was completely drunk.

He wanted him to sleep here at night, but Uncle Yi said that he had two daughters at home and it was impossible to spend the night outside. Xiao Mingye took him back with his arms crossed.It was snowing heavily outside, Zhong Yiqiu was worried that it would be difficult for him to be alone, and insisted on staying with him, Xiao Mingye glared at him and locked him in the room and refused to let him go out.

When Xiao Mingye came back, he laid the groundwork for the whole journey. Just a few days after confirming the relationship, he actually glared at Zhong Yiqiu. The two idiots didn't know how to make a fuss... He took several deep breaths outside the door before pushing the door open...

I saw Zhong Yiqiu squatting on the ground, blushing, clenching his fists excitedly and waving his hands, shouting slogans—Come on!Blackie!come on!little flower! ——Raise your legs, how can you turn over without raising your legs!Stand up quickly and put Xiao Hei down!

The two puppies were biting together, whining and barking, which shows that the battle was very fierce. The little black dog lay on the little flower dog, biting its ears and shaking its head vigorously...

Xiao Mingye: "...what are you doing!"

"You're back—" Zhong Yiqiu stood up happily, pointed at the glued battlefield on the ground and shouted: "Look, look!"

Xiao Mingye took a deep breath, and asked with a black face, "Why are they here!"

Zhong Yiqiu rolled her eyes to look at him, and explained in a low voice: "Uncle Yi was drunk, and ran to the utility room to express his feelings with Wangwang in his arms, but he couldn't pull him away, and he still wouldn't let me be by his side... I had to put it in his arms. They brought them here."

Xiao Mingye: "..."

Uncle Yi drinks well and has strong self-control. He rarely gets drunk, and when drunk, he only sleeps quietly and doesn't go crazy. Today may be because of Zhang Guoyan's uncomfortable feelings, and he temporarily confiscated his emotional eruption!

Xiao Mingye went out carrying the necks of the two soldiers one by one. Uncle Yi was already tired from crying, lying on the hay next to the kennel, holding Wangwang's neck tightly with his hands, muttering for some reason. say what.

Zhong Yiqiu followed behind him and spread out her hands in a helpless gesture—you see, the situation is so severe!

Xiao Mingye put down the puppy, and lifted him up vigorously with Uncle Yi's arms, Zhong Yiqiu hurried over to help him hold the other side, and got the drunk man onto the bed in the room.

Jian Jian helped Uncle Yi wipe his face and hands, turned off the lights and closed the door, he wanted to boil water for a bath but Xiao Mingye stopped him, took him by the hand and took him back to the room.Zhong Yiqiu was extremely nervous, thinking why is there no one closing the door outside?Wouldn't it be kissing again? After that, would I have to kiss once a day...

Xiao Mingye lifted the quilt on the bed, and when he turned around, he saw him standing under the light with a shy expression on his face, wondering, "What's wrong with you? Come here."

Zhong Yiqiu's heart was pounding but she couldn't control her footsteps, she obediently walked over, "...Why are you here?"

Xiao Mingye lifted the quilt, then the mattress, and finally pulled up the bottom straw mat, exposing the bed board.He knelt on the bed with one leg, leaned forward and took out a cowhide envelope from the inside.

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Xiao Mingye sat on the bed, trying to pull him to sit down too, but he saw him staring at him depressedly.

——Could it be because you remembered what happened when you glared at him just now?Do I need an apology?

"That..." Xiao Mingye started awkwardly.

"What is this?" Zhong Yiqiu asked angrily.

Xiao Mingye hurriedly opened the envelope, took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to him, "Here are three passbooks, a total of [-], two of which are [-] for the death date, and [-] for the current date."

Zhong Yiqiu took it in surprise, opened it and took a closer look, it was the first time he saw so much money.Xiao Mingye got up again and took out a wad of money from the hanging clothes, and put a piece of money neatly in Zhong Yiqiu's hand, "The salary for this trip is 1000 yuan, plus the additional [-] yuan given yesterday, a total of [-] yuan." five."

Zhong Yiqiu looked at him suspiciously, wanting to ask what is this for?Xiao Mingye raised his hand to touch his face and twisted it slightly, smiled and said: "Fourteen thousand and five, all my net worth, I leave it to you."

"No—no!" Zhong Yiqiu instantly felt that the thing in his hand had turned into charcoal, so hot that he couldn't hold it, "This is your hard-earned money, I can't take it."

Xiao Mingye approached him, held his shoulders and pressed him against his body, and whispered in his ear, "I have given myself to you, not to mention these external things."

Because of what happened to Yu Boshan, Zhong Yiqiu has always thought that love has two flavors, sweet and bitter, but after falling in love with Xiao Mingye, he tasted thousands of flavors.From ancient times to the present, when people describe love, they would say "children love each other" which implies little love and little love. But for the first time, Zhong Yiqiu felt that love is so heroic, what kind of courage is it for a person to fully deliver and love.

He hugged Xiao Mingye tightly, rubbed his head on his shoulder a few times, and calmed down his agitated mood before saying, "But I don't care about money."

"That's up to me." Xiao Mingye let go of him, only to find the passbook and money in his hand.

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

"I'll help you manage it," Xiao Mingye hurriedly added, "I will use money to apply to you in the future."

"Then what if you take money secretly? I don't know?"

Xiao Mingye: "...Then what do you say?"

"Be more conscious."

On the morning of the New Year's Eve, the snow stopped, and the thin sunlight shone on the white world, warm and peaceful.Uncle Yi has to go back to his elder brother's house for dinner every New Year's Eve, but he still gets busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.In the past, Xiao Mingye was called over by Wang Guizhi, and he would come back to watch the New Year alone after eating a few bites, but this year is different, with Zhong Yiqiu by his side, he will definitely not go back.Some things are miraculous. No matter how well a person lives, it doesn’t seem like home. One more person becomes a family. We can have a solemn and lively reunion dinner, and we can accompany each other until dawn.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, he will go to the grave to worship his ancestors, and Xiao Mingye will also go back to worship his grandfather, grandmother and father.After Uncle Yi finished preparing the meat and vegetables, he put it down first and went back to the village to worship his ancestors. Xiao Mingye’s hometown is called Xiaojiazhai, which is quite far away. If the weather is good, you can get there by motorcycle in 20 minutes, but now the snow is knee-deep. No means of transportation are available, only walking.It took about two or three hours to go quickly. He packed the paper money and firecrackers early in the morning, and wanted to go early and return early.

Zhong Yiqiu thought that she was the only one left at home, and planned what to do.He put on warm boots and went to the yard, thinking to build a big snowman, otherwise such a thick snow would be too wasteful.

"Change, let's go." Xiao Mingye put on a new jacket and called him at the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhong Yiqiu was puzzled.

"Come with me." Xiao Mingye said calmly.

Zhong Yiqiu was shocked, "What am I going to do? I cook at home."

"Shouldn't you be meeting your parents?"
