dance like a butterfly

Looking back carefully, I also realized that although I have encountered so many things and suffered so much in these years, I am still the happiest person in the world.

Many times, I am as soft as a snow-white awn flower, unable to withstand the blowing of the autumn wind. Lao Zuo is the generous land under my feet, and Lao Han is the hillside warmly illuminated by the sun. It is they who let me stand up at will. The ups and downs also allow me to flutter and fall. Because of them, I can ignore many things, just like ignoring the lengthy reincarnation of summer year after year, and ignoring the harsh and disorderly mottledness of winter.I also suddenly realized that maybe it is because our special love is so gorgeous that even the heavens would be jealous, so they deliberately set up many natural moats and many swift rivers to make us retreat in spite of difficulties.And I have nothing to repay, I can only accept the gifts from Lao Han and Lao Zuo with a grateful heart.

But tonight, in Tianshui, when I was tossing and turning, I thought of the entire persimmon grove in my hometown in Hua County, and my old Han. Who can feel the dark tide in my heart?

the softest part of your emotions

Wisps of scents blow over

with my fast breathing

Overwhelm all the sweetness in the Guanzhong Plain

One by one blazingly piled up on the persimmon tree

sunset madly jealous

paint your world red

just for

is it alone that hides it

I don't have to smell greengage

you don't have to ride a bamboo horse

Even if that turbulent hand changes the face of you and me after time

Following the breath in the crowd, we can still hold each other's warm hands

In the semi-cold and semi-warm season

Whose eyes are still as clear as a stream

Who else but you can let the years be in the story outside the barren grass

Who else but you let the world turn into dust, barren and mottled behind the legend

After staying in Tianshui for a few days, I asked Lao Zuo if he had been to Xihuang Temple and Maiji Mountain, and if he wanted to go shopping.Lao Zuo laughed and said, "I haven't been there before, you are busy, so I don't have the heart to go around. When Lao Han comes later, when you finish the house, are you afraid that there will be no chance?"Besides, now is the prime time for travel, there are too many people, what can you say?

In addition to accompanying me to the Qiaonan building materials market and the new house in Tianfu Huating, and accompanying me to buy vegetables and let me cook for me, Lao Zuo just pulled a small stool and sat silently watching the old horse and the elder brother play chess.

The elder brother played chess with the old horse, it was really a case of a thief-a net loss but no win.The eldest brother is indecisive about his moves, and often regrets his moves. The old horse is often very helpless, and can only mutter how can he do this, how can he do this, and then laugh foolishly.Seeing Lao Zuo watching seriously, he finally pulled Lao Zuo to sit opposite him after a game of chess.

That night, they fought fiercely from after dinner until nearly 10:30. When the yard outside became cold, they moved to Lao Ma's bedroom.

When Lao Zuo came back, I was leaning on the bed and reading the novel "Swordsman".

"How is it? Did you avenge your elder brother today?" I asked with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it. This old horse, it's really hard to beat him. We drew both sets."

Lao Zuo smiled and touched his head.

I jumped out of bed and filled the washbasin with hot water, thinking that they had left early, and the water for washing Lao Zuo's feet was already cold.

I said, "I've never seen you play chess before."

Lao Zuo hurriedly stopped me and said, "I'll come, I'll come. That's because you didn't pay attention. When I went to Hua County, I often played chess with my elder brother."

The elder brother opened the door and came in, suddenly shouted, "Did you two find out? There is actually a picture of Lao Han in the picture frame on the wall of Lao Ma's house!"

Lao Zuo and I looked at each other, and said in unison: "How is it possible?"

"Alas, I knew you two didn't believe it, so you should go and see for yourself." The elder brother pointed to the room next door, talking and gesticulating.

"Xiaojun, have you heard Lao Han say this before?"

Lao Zuo's complexion was very bad, just as he sat down, he stood up again.

"No ah."

When I think about it carefully, Lao Han did not say such a thing.

I took a breath, suddenly remembered, and said, "However, a few days ago, Lao Ma mentioned that his family has a relative in Xianyang, who is in Sanyuan County. I never asked who the relative is!"

Lao Zuo put on his shoes and walked out, "Well, the old horse may not be asleep yet, so don't go, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he went out like the wind.

Suddenly, my left eyelid jumped up quickly, which was a very bad sign.

Thinking back and forth, a person jumped into my mind.I remember that time I learned how to drive with Zhang Wenqing. In Sanyuan County, I met a man who was very close to Zhang Wenqing. Is it him?

Suddenly he comforted himself, impossible, impossible, the world is getting bigger, so there is such a coincidence?

Not long after, Lao Zuo came back, looked at me, and sat down on the sofa without saying a word.

My heart skipped a beat, "The surname is Luo, isn't it?"

Old Zuo raised his face, very surprised, "How do you know?"

"The old Han asked me to learn how to drive with Zhang Wenqing, but Zhang Wenqing drove the car to Sanyuan and met this man."

I will tell you everything.

The eldest brother laughed, "What's the matter, it's a good thing to look like Lao Han. I wish someone could look like me, Lao Zuo, look at our third son, although we were born by the same mother, we Nothing like it."

Lao Zuo didn't pick up on his elder brother's words, and asked softly, "Then, who do you think this Lao Luo is?"

"This person should be the leader of an enterprise in Sanyuan. Judging from the enthusiasm between Zhang Wenqing and him at that time, they should be the same person." I was sad.

The eldest brother interjected, "Look at our youngest, we all know some respectable people, tsk tsk!"

Lao Zuo patted his leg and said, "Brother, don't say such things at this time. When you came to Tianshui, Lao Han must have explained to you that he didn't want more people to know that Xiaojun was in Tianshui. Things, if we can’t get it right, what’s the benefit if we spread it to Xi’an again?”

After hearing this, the eldest brother said nothing more, lifted the quilt and lay down, and gave us a big back.

Lao Zuo said, "Just now I saw the photo in the wooden frame on Lao Ma's wall. When I glanced at it, I also thought that person was Lao Han. Lao Ma took out another photo album, and I saw Zhang Wenqing and this man in Maiji. A group photo of Shan Shan. Lao Ma said that his father came to Tianshui because of his family’s poverty when he was a child, and later became a door-to-door son-in-law. And this Lao Luo is his uncle and cousin, and he doesn’t come here often. Xiaohui, you don’t know about this. Don't worry too much, there is only one thing, that is, try not to let Lao Ma and Lao Han face each other right now. I understand that Lao Ma won't think too much about it."

"However, Lao Ma's house is so close to Tianfu Huating, it will be difficult not to meet each other in the future."

I am worried.

Lao Zuo smiled, "Not necessarily. Look at the location of Lao Ma's house. I believe it will be demolished in a short time. How about this, so as not to attract attention, I will return to Xi'an tomorrow."

"Are you coming back tomorrow?" I repeated, feeling a little bit reluctant.

Lao Zuo smiled, "In the future, if Lao Han invites me, I will come again."

I bowed my head and stopped talking.I feel that Lao Zuo's words are far away. If Lao Han and I live in Tianshui, it is determined that we don't want to meet all the old acquaintances again.

At noon the next day, Lao Zuo stopped me from cooking. He said that before he left, he would invite everyone to eat in the restaurant. Lao Ma and several other workers were also invited.

During the meal, Lao Zuo seldom ate much by himself. He tried to persuade the old man to drink, and he gave the old horse some food for the elder brother and me. Brother, you need to take care of me."

A big table of food, because Lao Zuo is about to leave, I have no appetite at all.

The old horse stood up holding the wine glass, "In just a few days of getting along, I can see that you are a man who values ​​love and righteousness. My old horse has admired people like you all my life. I am a rough person and don't understand the truth , in one sentence, the iron hammer beats the pan—it is the truth, and you will only treat people with the truth. When you come to Tianshui in the future, you are welcome, just treat me as your own brother. I think your younger brother is also a cultural person, and nonsense from time to time Lord, you just need to rest assured, my old horse will never lose him."

After finishing speaking, he tilted his neck and saw the bottom of the glass of wine, turned the glass upside down and looked at the bottom of the glass to Lao Zuo.

Seeing Lao Zuo Duan's wine glass, I hurriedly blocked it, "You still have to drive, brother, let me drink for you."

Lao Zuo waved his hand to me, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I have a lot of alcohol. Brother Ma, I'll just say this to you. If you have any problems in the future, when you arrive in Xi'an, come to me. I will do my best."

The old horse raised his glass again, "I thank you for your words, I will accompany you for another glass of wine, you just need to express your opinion."

After dinner, I'll see Lao Zuo off, "If you can't drive, take a rest and leave in the evening."

Old Zuo smiled, "You think I'm a piece of paper? It's okay. It's just that I'm gone, and I don't know when we'll see each other again."

"What's so difficult about this? When I return to Xi'an, I can see you again naturally. You are like my own brother. See what you said."

I put on a smile.

"hope so."

He let out a long sigh, started the car, didn't even look at me, just waved his hand to me.

Standing on the side of the road, I only saw his blushing face, his round head, and the slowly closing glass covering his broad shoulders.

The silver-gray Buick drifted away like a big bird.
