God said I would meet you

Zhang Xinli's forehead hair was wet with sweat, and when he wiped his sweat, he pushed his hair back, revealing deep eye sockets and heroic eyebrows: "I'm not refusing your help," he said, "It's too hot now , you are prone to heatstroke if you stay here, come and help me after three o'clock later, okay?"

"Oh." Lin Jinyu agreed.

He had to admit that this annoying guy was a bit handsome.When he was a child, his relatives and neighbors also said that he was handsome, with double eyelids, big eyes, high nose bridge and long eyelashes. He was a typical handsome guy, but Zhang Xinli's handsomeness was different from him.

He has a mature temperament and a different kind of demeanor that is different from others. He is beyond this age group, but he is a bit less old-fashioned and dull than a real adult.

At that time, Lin Jinyu did not understand what "responsibility" was, nor did he know the true meaning of self-reliance or independence, but that summer, when he sat back under the shade of a tree and stared at Zhang Xinli's tall and strong back from a distance, , he seemed to have vaguely, indistinctly, half-understood the meaning of the word "responsibility".

These are the last pieces of rice that have not yet been confiscated, and the season will be over when this is harvested.The next step is to thresh and dry the grain, waiting for the merchants who collect the grain to come to their door.

Lin Jinyu was sweating non-stop just sitting there, the sun was so hot that she couldn't keep her eyes open.He yawned a few times and felt a little sleepy.

Several acquaintances including La Long and Mu Se also saw Lin Jinyu, and came over to sit down with him one after another.

"Hey," Mu Se pushed him with his shoulder: "How are you? You didn't get hurt when you fell that day?"

Lin Jinyu looked at him: "How did you know? Zhang Wenbin told you?"

Mu Se said: "That day when we found out that you were missing, we ran back to call for someone, and many people went looking for you. Later, Zhang Xinli carried you back, and Zhang Wenbin told the opposite door about it, and the other door told the matter about it. My third uncle, my third uncle told my grandma, and my grandma told me."

Lin Jinyu was embarrassed: "You guys are well-informed."

"How on earth did you fall into that corner?" Mu Se asked curiously, "Zhang Xinli is very familiar with this area, how could it be..."

Lin Jinyu interrupted him: "Stop talking, count me as a drag on him."

Mu Se continued: "Hey, I didn't mean that, don't say anything that is not a drag, aren't you his brother, you should take care of you, take a step back, even if you are not his brother, or a neighbor or a stranger, he will Will pull."

Lin Jinyu lowered her head and pulled the grass roots on the ground. After a while, she let out a muffled "Oh".

Mu Se put his shoulders on his shoulders: "Actually, I know that you two have never been together," he said, "I've been arguing and bickering for three days, just when my brother went to play at your place, I bumped into each other several times. ... But people have a process of getting to know each other, don't they? To be honest, when I first saw you, I saw that you were dressed so well, and you weren't very talkative, so I thought you were a bit of that kind of person who wasn't easy to get along with. People, but now I don’t think so much,” Mu Se said, “Really, now I think you are actually quite a nice person, and you don’t look down on us people or anything.”

"How can I look down on you," Lin Jinyu said, "Everyone has a nose and a mouth, and whoever looks down on whomever has something."

Mu Se said: "It really is. In the past, we had a child here. His father died. Later, his mother went out to sit on the stage and married a small boss. She took her son and moved to the boss's big house...you I don’t know, that kid came back one year, dressed in clean clothes and energetic, but it was written in his eyes that he looked down on those of us who grew up naked together. He intentionally or unintentionally mentioned how good his performance in the city’s key points was. A small goal is to be admitted to a certain major university, and you still think we don’t pay attention to hygiene... Hey, it’s a bad thing, so I won’t mention it.”

Lin Jinyu secretly glanced at his black and yellow toes. It is true that the hygienic conditions here are poor. It is also true that most people have poor hygiene habits and do not pay attention to hygiene. He himself cannot accept a pair of feet like Mu Se, but he does not There is no reason to give birth to some kind of "superior" sense of superiority.

"But I can see that you are different from him," Mu Se continued, "You are a person who has really read the book, and your speech and behavior are different from the people I have met... I am not afraid of you laughing at my ignorance ..." He scratched his head with the other hand: "How should I put it, we may have misunderstood you at first, but after we get along, everyone likes you." Mu Se said, "The same goes for Zhang Xinli. .”

"Oh," Lin Jinyu ravaged the grass on the ground, tearing them off one by one and throwing them on the ground: "What do you want to say?"

"Just..." Mu Se said: "Well... I probably hope that you will ignore the past and like your brother. We have seen him in the past half a month. It is really not easy. He has to work, study, and take care of him. You, before you rest...he still has to take the college entrance examination. If you can treat him better, don't say what to do for him, just... treat him better, and you can make that guy relax more or less. "

"Oh." Lin Jinyu replied sullenly again, still not looking at him, just lowered her head and concentrated on picking grass.

He thinks Zhang Xinli is really annoying, self-disciplined and responsible, he meddles in everything, why is he so responsible? It is said that people are the best at seeking out advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so why doesn't he learn to be lazy and open his eyes Just close your eyes and forget it, how stupid.

... But I'm useless, I can't help by cutting a piece of rice, so I can only go to the side to rest.

Over there, Zhang Xinli finished tying several large bundles of rice, went to the field, and started to do the work that Lin Jinyu had not finished.

It's so annoying, Lin Jinyu thought: I'm really useless.

Chen Hui finished her homework, saw them getting together, and brought her younger brother over, saying, "Jinyu, are you okay?"

Lin Jinyu said: "Okay, that's great."

Chen Hui said: "I heard from my uncle's aunt's cousin's granddaughter that you fell into a wild boar pit, you..."

"Hush!" Lin Jinyu forcibly covered her mouth with the hands that had just pulled the grass and picked up the soil: "Can you stop mentioning this?"

In fact, he didn't really touch Chen Hui. Chen Hui was covered by his hand, calmed down, blinked at him, and nodded.

Lin Jinyu withdrew his hand: "It's alright, alright, I know, he has treated me so much, and I can hardly repay him in this life, only..." He originally wanted to make a joke about the promise of body, boys often It's perfectly normal to make such wild jokes.

But for some reason, he paused and said nothing, and changed the subject: "... Only by giving him a whole box of Dove chocolates can I repay his great kindness."

Mu Se hugged his shoulders with a hippie smile and asked him for chocolates. Chen Hui hugged his younger brother, looked at them, and smiled silently.

It was almost 02:30, the highest temperature of the day, and the risk of heat stroke was several times higher than when they first came here.There was no longer a single figure in the field, and everyone hid in a cool place, and no one wanted to fight the vicious sun again.

Zhang Xinli put away the things in his hands, and walked towards them.

Mu Se gave him a seat, let him sit on Lin Jinyu's right, and jumped up to go crazy with his brother.Chen Hui's little brother also clamored for water, so Chen Hui carried him back to her home.

Zhang Xinli took a sip from the water bottle next to him, poured some more into his palm, and patted his sweaty forehead and the back of his neck to cool down.

Lin Jinyu also felt thirsty. The profuse sweating caused him to lose water constantly. Now he felt that he was so thirsty that he could drink up the entire Pacific Ocean.

But because he has been drinking water non-stop since he came out, he drank it when he was a little thirsty, so now Lin Jinyu's water bottle has only half a sip of boiled water left.

Lin Jinyu raised her head and drank the remaining half of the water in one gulp. She turned the water bottle upside down and licked away the last drop of water and the slightest trace of water vapor. Instead, she felt even thirstier.

The sound of Zhang Xinli drinking water freely also made his throat feel drier.Lin Jinyu involuntarily stared at Zhang Xinli's Adam's apple which moved when he raised his head to drink water, and licked his dry lips.

Zhang Xinli finished drinking the water, but did not cover it. He stretched out his hand in front of Lin Jinyu and said, "Here."

"What?"

"If you stare again, you will find a hole," Zhang Xinli said, "I'll share it with you."

Lin Jinyu blurted out: "I don't like sharing a water bottle with others..."

It’s true, he never drank water from the same container with others, and only used his own cup to drink water to make milk at home. He didn’t drink the water from his parents. up.

"Oh," Zhang Xinli made a gesture to take it back: "So you don't drink."

"No... wait, wait!" Seeing that the saliva was about to disappear from his face, Lin Jinyu urgently stopped: "I'll think about it."

Zhang Xinli pursed his lips, waiting for him to think.

Lin Jinyu was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it anymore. Refusing to drink water was as cruel as letting a desert traveler see a mirage but never letting him go to an oasis.

He looked at the slightly darker-skinned hand stretched out in front of him, hesitated for a second, took the water, and took a few big gulps from the mouth of the bottle.

He had never felt that boiled water was so sweet and delicious. After taking a few sips of water into his stomach, every cell in Lin Jinyu's body seemed to be filled with water, and even the feeling of dryness and heat went down a lot, and his whole body was full of energy. A shake.

"Are you tired?" Zhang Xinli asked him, "If you want to go back, go back."

Obviously you have done a lot more than me, and you still asked me if I was tired.Lin Jinyu said, "I won't go back."

"why?"

"The harvest is over, don't you still have to thresh the millet?"

"Didn't you want to come at first?" Zhang Xinli said, "I thought you would clamor to go back."

"You think too much." Lin Jinyu said.

Zhang Xinli then stopped talking.After Lin Jinyu finished drinking the water, he handed the water bottle back to him. He took it, capped the bottle and put it aside.

Facing the vast green and yellow mottled fields, the two sat side by side, silently watching the youngest Lalong dragging a branch as a weapon, fighting with his brother like two psychopaths among the rice paddies half a person's height. Back and forth, they brought up gusts of scorching wind as they ran, blowing Lin Jinyu's ginger-colored clothes and Zhang Xinli's jet-black hair.
