Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

Zhong Yiqiu thought that what he said about meeting the parents was really "meeting the parents", wondering who else was there in his hometown, could it be that he was going to his uncle's house?Then it's too inappropriate for me to go empty-handed the first time I come to the door?

It turned out that he was overthinking again. When he arrived at Xiaojiazhai, he didn't even enter the village. Xiao Mingye took him directly up a low slope. The heavy snow covered everything between the sky and the earth. It was only after Zhong Yiqiu made a decision that this was a cemetery.

There were traces of newly burnt paper money on the ground, someone had already come to pay respects, Xiao Mingye swept the snow off the tombstone with his hands, Zhong Yiqiu saw that the name on it was Xiao Dechuan, and the stele erector next to him wrote a long list, it should be It's his grandfather's tomb.

Xiao Mingye squatted down and lit the paper money, Zhong Yiqiu was at a loss, and didn't know whether to burn it with him.

"Come here." Xiao Mingye called him.

Zhong Yiqiu squatted down next to him, Xiao Mingye distributed the paper money to him, and the two of them watched silently as the pile of paper was completely burnt, Xiao Mingye took his hand to wipe off the ash on it, and said seriously to the tombstone : "This is my grandfather, call someone."

"Grandpa, hello, my name is Zhong Yiqiu, Xiao Mingye's...boyfriend."

Xiao Mingye looked at him in surprise, and asked him to call someone, just wanting him to call him grandpa, but he never expected Zhong Yiqiu to be so bold and solemn.But in my heart, I was moved by his seriousness and frankness. In this world, only Zhong Yiqiu dared to say that. After all, if they let outsiders know about their relationship, they would be arrested and imprisoned.

Although it is to the deceased relatives, Zhong Yiqiu's candor is still very valuable.

"It's a pity that grandpa can't give you lucky money." Xiao Mingye teased him.

Zhong Yiqiu pursed her lips and smiled, and bowed deeply to the tombstone, thinking that luckily she couldn't give the New Year's money, if she really met her parents, their family members would probably be so angry that they would turn the sky upside down.

Behind the grandfather is his father's grave. There is no monument and under the cover of heavy snow, it looks like a small mound.Xiao Mingye smiled and stretched out his hand, meaning to call someone. Zhong Yiqiu could easily call him Grandpa, but he couldn’t call him Dad. After hesitating for a few minutes, he could only bow and repeat, “Hi Uncle, my name is Zhong Yiqiu is Xiao Mingye's boyfriend."

After burning the paper money, Xiao Mingye set off two firecrackers. Even after the worship, the two had to walk for more than two hours to go home.

"Why didn't you see your grandma's grave?" Zhong Yiqiu asked suspiciously.

"I share the grave with my grandfather. In rural areas, husband and wife must be buried in the same grave after death."

Zhong Yiqiu didn't understand, "If one of them dies first, why don't they bury it all the time and wait for the other to come together?"

Xiao Mingye said: "No, my grandma died seven or eight years before my grandpa. After my grandpa died, he dug up her grave and put the coffin together."

Zhong Yiqiu: "...Dig...open it?"

Xiao Mingye wanted to hold his hand, but now it was time for the villagers to go to the grave, so he was afraid of being seen, so he put his arms around his shoulder like a good buddy, and said with a smile, "Are you scared?"

"No, it just sounds incredible."

When the two of them went down the hillside, if they didn't pass through the village, they had to turn from the nearby field path to the main road.When he was about to turn a corner, a young man came to meet him, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding a sacrificial object, he shrank his neck and walked up the slope. A few steps away, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and someone shouted in disbelief, "Is it Xiao Ye? Xiao Mingye?"

Zhong Yiqiu was more sensitive to Xiao Mingye's name than her own, so she immediately turned her head to see that the man was chasing after him just now, standing at a distance of five or six meters, hesitating and not daring to go forward.

Xiao Mingye turned his face and looked at him coldly, as if he didn't know him at all and couldn't remember who it was.

"I'm Er Leizi—Xiao Minglei, do you remember? My father is your uncle." The man took a step forward as he spoke.

Xiao Mingye nodded and said, "I remember."

"Why don't you go home when you come back?" Xiao Minglei took another step closer, with an embarrassment on his face that he was unfamiliar with but wanted to be intimate. I didn't even recognize it, how did I grow so tall!"

Xiao Mingye remained calm, "I didn't go there in a short time."

"You and your father really resemble each other. There is only an old photo of him at home. I felt familiar when I saw you just now!"

...

Zhong Yiqiu was about to be driven crazy by this awkward atmosphere, Xiao Mingye's expressionless face blocked all the enthusiasm the other party tried to show, like a ball of fire falling into a glacier, and immediately extinguished.He guessed that Xiao Mingye didn't want to get involved with people from his hometown. After all, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Apart from the blood relationship in his body, he didn't actually have any feelings.

"Let's go first." Xiao Mingye finally spoke, and left as soon as he said.

Xiao Minglei became nervous, and boldly pulled him, "You finally came back, go to our house at noon, at least have a reunion dinner."

Xiao Mingye backed away half a step, pulled Zhong Yiqiu forward, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "No need."

"What's wrong, are you unhappy?" Xiao Mingye asked, Zhong Yiqiu quietly strode forward, with a puffy face and didn't speak.

"A bit."

"Why?" Xiao Mingye didn't know what was going on, and after thinking about it, he didn't mess with him.

Zhong Yiqiu was embarrassed to say it, because he also felt a little naive.He has always liked Xiao Mingye's name, and he was attracted to him at first, firstly because of his height and appearance, it was too eye-catching in the crowd, it was hard not to be noticed, and secondly because of his name.

Although Xiao Mingye explained to him later, Ming is because all brothers of the same generation in a family have this word, and Ye is because he was born in the night.Ordinary and vulgar, completely inconsistent with the artistic conception of these two characters, but Zhong Yiqiu is still immersed in her imagination and loves this name.

Arriving at Xiaojiazhai today completely shattered his imagination, there was actually Xiao Minglei!Does that mean there are Xiao Mingfeng, Xiao Mingyu, and Xiao Mingdian?

It was almost noon when they got home, and the two of them worked together to paste the couplets, and finally there was an extra piece of blessing, which Zhong Yiqiu secretly pasted on their bedside.

After lunch, Uncle Yi sent out the noodles and wanted to steam the tribute. On New Year’s Eve, ten big steamed buns will be steamed here as a tribute, and they will be placed in the front of the main room. They usually use Uncle Yi’s room as a living room, so they put it in his room on the upright position.

After thinking about it, Zhong Yiqiu went to call home before the supply and marketing cooperative closed. He didn't have a phone at home, so he called the store in front of the courtyard first, and asked his mother to come over, and he would wait 5 minutes before calling. .

"Qiu'er." When his mother heard the voice, she seemed to be about to cry.Zhong Yiqiu has been in poor health since she was a child, and she held it in her hands like a baby. She never let him do any work. She has never spent New Year outside when she grows up. When other families are reunited, her son can't go home. I feel sad and weep when I think of it.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine here, we're preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner!" Zhong Yiqiu tried his best to keep his tone light and happy.

"What can you do? You can't even cook the noodles!" His mother scolded.

Zhong Yiqiu laughed, and this time she was genuinely dissatisfied, "Mom, you look down on me too much, I'm already good at cooking noodles, and I can also cook!"

"What will you do? What will you do?"

"I don't know, but Xiao Ming's cooking is delicious."

His mother asked: "Who is Xiao Mingye? That friend of yours?"

Zhong Yiqiu blamed herself for being too smug, but she couldn't control the desire to show off, "He is my friend, he is very good, he cooks delicious food, and he was a soldier!"

"That's right! That's great!"

Zhong Yiqiu heard his mother tell her love story more than once when she was a child. When she was young, she went on a blind date. She met a soldier who was handsome and gentle. Both of them fell in love with each other immediately. Contacted, and caught up with his dad's crazy pursuit, but in the end, he could only regret to miss it.

Although it was a joke to tell the child, but his mother really liked the soldier from then on. When she heard that her son's good friend had been a soldier before, she immediately felt relieved and felt that it was very reliable.

"Then you have to get along well with them and build a good relationship." His mother seriously instructed.

"Okay..." Zhong Yiqiu happily and guiltyally agreed.

"Okay, hang up, the phone bill is so expensive, I'm at ease knowing you're good."

"I wish you and Dad a happy new year, good health and safety." Zhong Yiqiu was a little bit reluctant, and hung up the phone after speaking quickly.

Uncle Yi went back to the village for dinner, and they were the only ones left in the yard at night.Zhong Yiqiu was full of excitement but didn't know how to vent it, so she ran to the kitchen and hugged Xiao Mingye and kissed her, eagerly saying, "What should I do? I'll cook a dish too, you teach me."

Xiao Mingye was busy chopping vegetables with both hands, he stretched his legs between his legs and tripped him lightly to bring him to his side, bully stepped forward to hold his lips and kissed back a deeper kiss fiercely.

"What do you want to learn?" Xiao Mingye asked nonchalantly.

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

"What kind of food do you want to learn?" Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Mingye asked again.

"Let's learn a big dish," Zhong Yiqiu thought about it, "It's the kind that can shock others once you make it, and it will become my specialty in the future!"

"Then you go cook the noodles."

Zhong Yiqiu: "I'm serious! Why don't you make fish, I think fish is quite simple."

"Okay, you go and kill the fish first." Xiao Mingye pointed to the bucket by the wall.

Zhong Yiqiu: "...how about I scramble an egg?"

Xiao Mingye started preparations after three o'clock, and didn't finish everything until it was almost dark at five o'clock. Zhong Yiqiu was still urging him, afraid that he would miss the Spring Festival Gala later.Although there were only two people, they cooked eight dishes. There was also a lot of chicken, duck, fish, beef, and mutton.Zhong Yiqiu took out a bottle of rum bought the day before yesterday to drink, but Xiao Mingye didn't want to, because he thought the wine girl was chirping, so he insisted on drinking baijiu, Zhong Yiqiu was angry that he was alluding to himself, opened the rum and drank half of the bottle in one go.

Xiao Mingye poured a full glass of white wine and brought it up, and said seriously, "Then I'll accompany you too, thank you for the first year Teacher Xiao Zhong came to me."

Zhong Yiqiu said, "Why do you want to thank me?"

"Thank you for making me feel good to be alive!"

Zhong Yiqiu suddenly remembered, "Last time I asked you if you were happy, you said you didn't feel that way, tell me when you come back, you haven't said anything yet!"

"It's happiness." Xiao Mingye seemed shy, turned his head and didn't dare to look at Zhong Yiqiu, sat down and began to eat.

His concealed expression and movements were too obvious, Zhong Yiqiu burst out laughing.
