[guard]

At the end of the summer of 1992, I was sitting at Yan Jiasheng's house that day, and he came out of the room, "Miao, is Brother Sheng handsome enough?" dangling.

"Not handsome enough!" My 15-year-old voice was a little immature

"Then why do you think I'm handsome?" He was a little embarrassed when I said he wasn't handsome

"A man who wears glasses and has a big belly is handsome!" I said naively. At that time, I didn't know why I thought this way. Maybe it was because the man I saw in the film and television drama gave me a very friendly feeling. , Very kind.

"Okay! To make you think I'm handsome, I will become a man with a big belly and glasses in the future!" After he finished speaking, he smiled narcissistically, and I also smiled foolishly.

Yanjiaping is the place where we grew up. It is a small village in the south. It is called Yanjiaping because everyone in the village has the surname Yan. Our family is the only one with a foreign surname in this village. As for why our family lives here, I have never heard of it. to understand.

That year, Yan Jiasheng graduated from junior high school and wanted to go out to study in high school. For us mountain people, being able to go out to study in high school is a very proud thing. For this reason, I was happy for him for many days. I followed him all over the mountain throughout the summer vacation. Digging out bird nests, catching crickets, and fishing in the river, I don’t know when, my relationship with him changed from a playmate to a bondage.

Just the night before Yan Jiasheng was going to study abroad at the end of the summer vacation, the village head of Yanjia Village organized a dinner for Yan Jiasheng, who was going to study abroad. Our family was not invited because our surname was not Yan.

For dinner, my mother boiled some porridge, added sweet potatoes, fried a pot of vegetables, and boiled two eggs. It was also to celebrate that I was going to the third grade of junior high school!My family is poor, sweet potato porridge and green vegetables are normal, and eggs are relatively good food. Usually, the eggs laid by the few hens in the family will be well laid by the mother, and then they will be taken to the market on the day of the market. Sell, exchange some money to live, the word father is very strange to me, because I was brought up by my mother alone, I have never seen what my father looks like, when I was young, when I asked where my father went, My mother cried into tears, and when I grew up, I knew that when I mentioned my father, my mother would be very sad, so I didn't ask again.

"Mom... let's have one each!" I handed the eggs to my mother.

"Mom has eaten it! You can eat it!" The mother sipped the porridge and smiled, two long wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. In fact, the mother is not too old, she is only 34 years old. Half of this vicissitudes of appearance are due to Me, half I think it's for 'Father'!

According to my mother's temperament, she would not eat first by herself, so I didn't believe it, so I handed her a "Mom...you eat!" After I finished speaking, I swallowed two bowls of sweet potato porridge, picked up an egg and ran outside.

"Miao...where are you going so late?" Mother put down the bowl in her hand.

"I'm going to find brother Sheng, he's going to study in Guangzhou tomorrow!" I hurriedly closed the door and ran to the Yan family ancestral hall, because the Yan family had dinner there.

Holding the egg in my hand, I came outside the wall of the Yan Family Ancestral Hall. I was not tall and climbed up the wall by stepping on two big stones beside the wall. I poked my head out, and I could see all the corners of the yard. I quickly I found the person I was looking for. He sat at the main table in the middle, was congratulated and praised by everyone, and drank together from time to time. I have never seen him drink. He has such a demeanor at the age of 17. , I lay on the fence with my hands on my chin and looked at him stupidly, imagining that I could also pick up the wine and stand in front of him and clink glasses with him for a drink, but I am a foreigner, I don't have this opportunity, so I can only watch secretly like this with.

The head of the Yan family village pulled a girl who was about the same age as Yan Jiasheng, walked up to Yan Jiasheng, and shouted with a smile: "Everyone be quiet! This is my niece Lin Xiufeng. I have asked my sister's family, and they all like our family." Promote this kid, and when the family returns from high school, this couple will be the same, everyone agree?"

"Good! Good... good..." Everyone slapped their palms. Of course, I didn't know much about what marriage was all about at that time, but at least we had the same pot of food, sat at the same table, and shared the same marriage. Sleep in one room.

My heart was tightened on the spot, seeing Yan Jiasheng smiling at Lin Xiufeng made me angry, and Lin Xiufeng also seemed to be affectionate, so I was even more restless and grabbed a small stone that fell off the wall I was about to aim at the person surnamed Yan and throw it over. Unexpectedly, I was too excited. The stone under my feet was empty. I sat on it and fell down. Panicked, I got up and was about to run, but it was too late, everyone had already walked out and looked at me, the panic in my heart was indescribable.

"It turned out to be that wild child who was raised by his mother but not taught by his father." "It's really him! This uneducated thing, seeing us eat a big meal, isn't it? Why can't he be thrown to death"...

I was sprayed to the point of embarrassment by everyone. I never envied what other people eat. The purpose of my coming here is to give this food, which is better for me-eggs, to Yan Jiasheng, because I really couldn’t get it out at the time. What could be more precious than this egg.

Everyone returned to the yard after taunting and scolding. I stroked the place where I fell and was bruised. Yan Jiasheng walked towards me with his hands in his arms. I laughed when I saw him in front of me. Unexpectedly, he took it out from behind. A drumstick "Eat it!"

I didn't pick it up, took the egg out of my pocket, luckily it didn't break "Here you are!"

Yan Jiasheng was stunned and didn't pick it up. I took his hand and put the egg in his palm. Even though the egg is very common to him, I will give it to him.

He was holding the egg stupidly, I turned around and walked a few steps home, he suddenly stopped me and shouted "Miao! Chicken legs!" He shook the chicken legs in his hand.

I turned around and said, "I didn't come to you because I was greedy. My family is poor. I can only give you an egg when you leave Guangzhou to study!"

"Aren't you going to take me to the car tomorrow?" Yan Jiasheng's voice seemed a little lost, it was too dark and I couldn't see his expression clearly, maybe he understood what I meant.

"No, I have to help my mother go to the field tomorrow." I replied with a smile covering up the unhappiness in my heart.

"Oh! Miao, I will protect you when I become stronger. I will help you to bear all the wind and rain. I will not let others bully you." His tone is very sure, I know he will be sad when others are mocking me just now , but he doesn't have the ability to speak, that's why he said this.

"Hmm..." I responded emotionally and ran home, holding back my tears and not crying, because he doesn't like me crying, and he will be sad.When I got home, my mother took a shower and fell asleep. I tiptoed to find a change of clothes, fetched two buckets of water by the well, and took a shower. I went back to my room, turned off the lights, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and thought about Yan Jiasheng. to sleep.

The next day, I got up before my mother got up. It was slightly dawn, and I climbed up to the big rock on the left side of the village entrance and sat on it. I don't know how long it took before Yan Jiasheng appeared under the leadership of his parents and many clansmen. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and carrying a luggage bag. The moment I got in the car, I saw him keep looking back. I fantasized that he was looking to see if I had secretly sent him off. As for whether it was true, I never asked for confirmation, because I thought he was, hehe !

Looking back, none of us under the suits moved. We looked at each other. After 20 years, we have all changed. We are all middle-aged men with glasses and big bellies. Everyone smiled and said, "Let's go to the car to shelter from the rain first." !" Walking to his car, he raised his suit with one hand and opened the car door with the other, and we two fat guys squeezed into the back seat.
