The red envelope kept Kan Jun in a good mood for several days.The lanterns outside were thriving, and his mood was also thriving, so it was rare for him not to get up early.He was lying on the bed, flipping through the newspaper that had just been delivered this morning, and he could see the boy's profile when he turned his head.

When the boy grew up, the fine and small fluff on his face had completely disappeared, but his skin was still very white.When curled up under the quilt, the protruding wrist was also white, and the red marks of being sucked out could still be seen on it.

Kan Jun stretched out his hand and made a comparison.The boy's arms should be slender.

When he was pulling the quilt, there was another crackling outside.Whose family members woke up and busily prepared to go to the grave to burn some paper money for their ancestors.

Kou Qiu was also awakened by the sound, yawned, and got half of his body out of the bed, without leaning on the head of the bed, leaning directly on the man, his eyes half-closed, "Uncle Kan?"

Kan Jun hummed, and pulled the quilt for him, lest he be frozen.

"Sleep a little longer."

"Don't sleep anymore," Kou Qiu rubbed his eyes, sat on the bed and waited for the man to bring him woolen pants, "We have to go too."

He didn't believe it, and Kan Jun didn't believe it either.But helplessly, this is a custom, and also the habit of the original body, now I have to go back to the grave to have a look.Both parents passed away early, and the rest of Kan Jun's relatives are basically in the officialdom. Now is the time when human relations are extremely busy, and Kan Jun doesn't plan to bring the young man to join him there. , simply went back to the village with Kou Qiu.

The village is also lively, with children walking from house to house with empty pockets, knocking on doors to grab some sugar and melon seeds.People in the village will give some points, and those who are generous will give [-] cents red envelopes.

The child didn't dislike it, and squatted on the threshold with his pockets covered, already satisfied.

Fifty cents is enough to buy a bag of spicy strips.

Kou Qiu passed by the entrance of the village, and noticed that the commissary had been run by a new person, a middle-aged woman whom he had never seen before.He glanced a few times, and happened to have a villager come out with something on his feet, rubbing his shoes on the threshold, Kou Qiu called, "Auntie."

"Hey, Xiao Wu is back?" The villager finally wiped the soles of his shoes and walked over, "That's right, it's Chinese New Year, I think you have to come back and have a look. Did you go to your parents' grave?"

Kou Qiu said no, and was about to go.He said, "Auntie, this store..."

"That's it," said the villager. "At the beginning, it was the Cha family who did it. Didn't the man from the Cha family go in later? That kid Cha Gong couldn't go to college anymore, and his mother got sick too, so she was sick." never came back."

In the past two years, Kou Qiu occasionally went back to the village, but never saw Cha Gong.

"I came back a month ago," the villager pouted, "I didn't do anything else. I lost a lot of weight, just like digging coal... After I came back, I transferred his shop , and transferred it to someone outside."

She said angrily, a little bit aggrieved.

"Anyway, it's going to be transferred. Isn't it more cost-effective to transfer it to the villagers? It's not like anyone wants to rely on his money. He has to work hard to find someone to transfer from outside. It's a joke..."

Kou Qiu smiled, but said nothing.

He could hear that the woman had hidden selfishness in her words.Back then, in order to exchange points for the college entrance examination, they threw dung on people's doors. Apart from thinking that what this family did was unethical, they also somewhat hid the joy that this well-lived family finally died.This is human instinct, it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong.

Even with today's discussion about Cha's family transfer, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be biased.Senior officer Kou just listened and didn't take it to heart.

He walked around the village, and the children next door had grown up. They were still a small lump in the first place, and now they can walk on the ground.He teased the child, walked to the window, and could see Cha's house at a glance.

The once bright mahogany door has now been completely removed.The yard was empty, and it didn't look like anyone was going to live here again.

Kou Qiu and Kan Jun went to the grave in the afternoon.

The Fang family's graves are all on the mountain, and the graves are not far from each other.The man was carrying liquor and food, and did not buy any paper money. Kou Qiu filled the wine glass, poured a full glass in front of Fang's father's grave, and then sat down on the grass in front of him.

Regarding the memory of his parents, Fang Yang actually can't remember too much.But there is still a bright part in the memory. After Fang’s father came back from working outside, he would bring him some small toys—those old and tall bamboo dragonflies that can fly, and colorful ones. The rubber that will break still exists in Fang Yang's mind.

He poured the wine on the soil and talked to Fang's father very seriously.

"Grandpa is in good health. I will take good care of him. Don't worry."

He gathered the wet soil.

"As for me...you don't have to worry about it."

"You know."

"I already have someone who can be with me for the rest of my life."

Kan Jun was standing not far away, not smoking, just staring here.When Kou Qiu finished speaking and stood up, he came over and patted the dirt on his body, "You go first."

Kou Qiu followed his words and took two steps to the other side.

Looking at the grave, Kan Jun suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of the grave.

Kou Qiu was startled.

"Uncle Kan!"

He has never thought about who Kan Jun would kneel down to - after all, Kan Jun himself, everything is going well now, and his integrity and strength are like those brought from a mother's womb. How could he make such a move?

But the man not only knelt down, but even kowtowed a few times.

Kou Qiu muttered: "Uncle Kan..."

"You leave Yangyang to me," the man raised his eyes and looked at the tombstone. There seemed to be dark flames burning in his eyes, "Yangyang is here with me, and I will definitely protect him well. I know he is young , I also know that you may think that he was deceived by me, but—"

He paused.

"I will hurt him."

"I promise you, forever."

After finishing speaking, Kan Jun seriously kowtowed three more times. There was no mat on the ground, his forehead was red, and there was some dirt on it, which was a bit funny.Kou Qiu wanted to laugh, but couldn't, his eyes were so hot and humid, so he had to stand on tiptoe and pat him, "Why did you kneel down all of a sudden?"

Kan Jun said: "Remember, I haven't greeted your parents yet."

Kou Qiu said, "Yes."

He and the man walked back along the original road, and then placed things in front of Fang's mother's grave, said a few words, and then went back, "My parents love me very much."

Kan Jun glanced at the young man walking beside him with tenderness in his eyes.

He knew that Fang Yang's parents had been involved in car accidents on their way home during the Chinese New Year.

Both passed away early.Fang Yang is the only one left who is not sensible. While taking care of his grandfather, he also has to take care of his studies. Even so, his grades are still very good, and he is undoubtedly an excellent child.

But it was such an excellent child who almost couldn't go to college because of some tricks at that time.

Kan Jun was grateful, and even a little bit afraid.

If he hadn't asked at the beginning, there would be no Fang Yang now.

The boy didn't notice his emotions, and while walking, he still curiously reached out to pull the leaves on the side of the road.He held a thin blade of grass in his hand, peeled off the soil-stained skin, sucked it on the root, and handed it to Kan Jun, his eyes sparkling: "Uncle Kan, sweet!"

Kan Jun also put the blade of grass into his mouth.

Very sweet...very sweet.

Full of fragrance of grass leaves.

"Let's come back when the Chinese toon grows tender leaves," Kou Qiu put his hands behind his back and smiled, "At that time, you can use that kind of big ladder and tree sticks to hook the Chinese toon leaves. The scrambled eggs are delicious—Uncle Kan, you Have you eaten yet?"

The man shook his head, just turned his face sideways, listening to him.

"There are also autumn sweet-scented osmanthus. Pick them off when they are in full bloom, wash them, add some sugar and flour, and steam them in a pot. They are also delicious!"

"And summer cicadas..."

Kan Jun's expression finally changed.

"cicada?"

"I know," Kou veteran cadre said, "the protein content is high, deep-fried in a pan, sprinkled with salt and pepper, or baked directly—"

Kan Jun's pace suddenly quickened, "Yangyang, let's go down."

Kou Qiu followed behind him and laughed.

"Uncle Kan, don't go away. If you don't eat it, what about the grasshopper? Where's the silkworm chrysalis?"

Kan Jun took even bigger steps, almost flying.

In fact, they didn't eat them.There are only glutinous rice balls and dumplings boiled in the pot at home, and they are white and plump, floating on the water one by one, and they are picked up accurately by the big spoon held by Kou Qiu.

Putting two full bowls and a small saucer with dipping sauce on the table, Kou Qiu said, "Uncle, today is also the first day of this year, why don't you say a few words?"

Kan Jun's hands were already on the chopsticks, and he frowned upon hearing this, ready to speak.

Kou Qiu, the real boss of the family, listened attentively.

Kan Jun said: "This year, more red envelopes will be distributed."

Kou Qiu: "?"

"Just try harder to quit smoking."

"??"

A smile finally appeared on the corner of Kan Jun's lips, "I want to have the sun every day."

Kou Qiu: "..."

Kou Qiusheng has nothing to love.

"Uncle, can't you have some other pursuits in your life?"

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"No."

Kou Qiu sighed.

"There is only one pursuit in my life," Kan Jun said lightly, holding his chopsticks, "It's you."

The system boy let out an instant cry.

It's online, it's online, Dad's local love story is finally online!

Kou Qiu couldn't help but tremble.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Kan Jun wanted to give him another red envelope, but Kou Qiu twisted his head like a rattle, "I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then!"

Uncle Kan felt that he could do it very well, and he couldn't wait to do it.

He pressed the person firmly, and took off his outer trousers in twos and threes, revealing a pair of dark blue woolen trousers inside.Turning inside, there is also a pair of long johns, bright red, very dazzling.

Kan Jun: "..."

Kou Qiu sat up again and dressed himself, "Uncle, what did I just say?"

Kan Jun: "..."

"Don't look like that," Kou Qiu said, "You brought me the woolen pants."

He felt happy that the man couldn't do anything, so he was about to get out of bed humming a song.But Uncle Kan seemed to have come to his senses, he pushed him back with his big hand, and then pushed him back again.

Senior officer Kou was a little confused.

It's red and blue, the soil is like this, can it be chewed?

Kan Jun proved with practical actions that it can.

As long as the inside is this tender and healthy cabbage, let alone red and blue outside, even if the outside is flashing neon lights and the hair grows into colorful, that's fine.

On the first day of the new year, the cabbage in the field was watered for the first time.The waterer had hoeed the ground before this, and the hoe was very hard, and he punched holes in the wet soil one by one.Only when the hole couldn't close completely could the first wave of fresh water be poured in continuously.

Kan Jun squatted on the edge of the ground, stroking the tender and green leaves of the cabbage with his hands, "Drink more."

If you drink too much, you can grow taller, and then you can welcome more sunshine and rain.

Xiaobaicai trembled, completely limp and turned into a puddle of mud.

Kou Qiu fell asleep until the next afternoon.

When he got up, the food was already set on the table, and the soup was all packed in a large thermos pot, fearing it would be cold.The air conditioner has been installed in the room, even in this weather, it is still warm inside, Kou Qiu only went down wearing a sweater, and heated up the meal first.

The man had to go back to the city beforehand.Kou Qiu ate some food by himself, put on his down jacket, and strolled out.

Yesterday was the time for New Year greetings in the village, but today the village is obviously much quieter.Most of the young people went to visit with their relatives in other villages, and the children running around disappeared. Kou Qiu walked quietly for a while, and suddenly felt a chill on his eyelashes.

Snowing.

This is a heavy snow.He stood for a while holding an umbrella, the ground under his feet was completely stained white, a figure came from a distance, staggered as he walked, and fell into the snow.

Kou Qiu hurried to help.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay," the man said repeatedly, before spitting on the snow, "What the hell, it's so slippery!"

That is the place where ordinary people like to dump the leftover water, and the freezing speed is faster than other places.Kou Qiu looked at the middle-aged man, and noticed that the clothes on him were very old, and even the shoes were old, so he couldn't help but feel snow.He wanted to bring people to his home for a cup of hot water, "You..."

He raised his head, but was stunned.

The middle-aged man was also stunned.

The tip of his eyebrows has suffered a lot of wind and frost over the past few years, and his temples have also become dotted with white.Now he was wearing a big gray cotton-padded jacket, which looked more and more vicissitudes. His lips trembled for a long time before he said, "It's Fang Yang?"

Kou Qiu was stunned for a while, then took back the umbrella covering the opponent's head.

"Ah."

He said, "Teacher Liu."

He and this high school class teacher have not seen each other for several years.The last time they met, there was not a happy relationship between the two.

Teacher Liu obviously remembered it too, moved the corners of his mouth, and looked a little embarrassed, "Fang Yang has grown up so much now."

Kou Qiu said, "Yes."

The middle-aged man moved his feet in the snow a few times and asked, "Where have you been now? The teacher hasn't seen you for a long time."

Kou Qiu said calmly, "I go to university in the provincial capital."

"Oh," Teacher Liu said, "the provincial capital..."

He lowered his eyes again, as if deliberately avoiding the word university.

Kou Qiu didn't let him avoid it.

"Teacher, do you still remember?" He said, "It was the university that Cha Gong almost replaced me and went to."

The middle-aged man's eyes dodged more obviously, "No, I don't remember. It was all a long time ago."

"Really?" Kou Qiu smiled, "Yes, for the teacher, it might just be a trivial matter."

— But for Fang Yang, this is a big deal.

It is tantamount to a major event of heaven and earth shattering.

Fang Yang worked very hard.Knowing that the conditions at home were difficult, it was impossible for him to repeat his studies, so he redoubled his efforts.He barely slept all night long. In the middle of the night, he helped old man Fang turn over and let the old man go back to the toilet. Occasionally, he had to take the syringe by himself and give the old man an injection just like the staff at the clinic taught him.After taking care of grandpa, he couldn't sleep either, staring desperately with his eyes and feet soaking in the ice basin while doing problems.

During the winter, his feet were also soaked in it, and the long chilblains still left traces.

How many days and nights?

Fang Yang couldn't count, and didn't want to.He closed his eyes and rushed forward with suffocation, forcefully getting through these difficult days.He raises pigs, feeds chickens, farms, takes care of the elderly, studies, and doesn't even have any extra time for himself.

That's how you get the results.

"You also know," Kou Qiu said, "the school once asked you to visit your home, and you saw it with your own eyes."

The middle-aged man did not speak.

His feet rubbed restlessly on the snow, and the original white snow was soon left with mud marks one after another.The man's face was as white as snow, and he didn't look up at the former student, but said in a rough voice: "The teacher didn't know at that time."

"Why don't you know?" Kou Qiu laughed, "Do you really believe that Cha Gong can get such a result, but I can only get that?"

Of course men don't believe it.

How could the students he brought out know what kind of grades they could get? What's more, he himself had been in the training class in the provincial capital, let alone two weeks, even two years. It is impossible for Gong's grades to be raised to that level.

You know, it doesn't mean you have the courage to resist and change.

Not to mention, there is money mixed in here.

"It's not easy to be a teacher," Teacher Liu said after a long while, "I have worked so hard to teach for so many years, and the salary I can get every month is just that little..."

He didn't go any further.

Life is actually quite difficult, there are many choices, and each option may lead to a point of no return.Back then, someone gave him such a choice, and he walked towards the wrong answer and chose the one that violated his conscience.

He clearly knew that he was a student who should go to university, but he said to him, "It's not surprising that you didn't pass the exam", and helped those people, covering his student's mouth, eyes and ears with his own hands.

Let him not hear, let him not see, let him not speak.

Let him suffer this loss in a muffled voice, and let someone who should have gone on another path take his place.

How can a man not know?In fact, they are all working together to bully a child who has no background or even relatives, and the journey has not been easy.

He just didn't want to face it.

In such a cold day, Mr. Liu's forehead was sweating.He wiped it with his hand, and wiped more and more. Finally, the middle-aged man could only put his hand down again, and put it stiffly beside him.

"How...how are you doing now?"

Kou Qiu said, "Very good."

The snow was falling heavily, and a thick layer had already accumulated on his umbrella by now.There was a rustling sound behind him, Kou Qiu turned his head and looked, and saw a familiar coat from a distance.

It was the man who went out to pick him up after he came back.

The corner of his lips smiled deeply, and repeated again, "Very good."

People's eyes can't lie, the middle-aged man believed it.Snow fell all over his head, and he said in a low voice, "That's good."

"I entered the student union," Kou Qiu said calmly, "I won awards for three papers, and I also received a national scholarship for three years. After that, I will be admitted to the civil service, so I can contribute my own strength to the country."

His future plan was very clear. Teacher Liu raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but he lifted it halfway and put it back again.

"It's good for you to think like this," said the middle-aged man, unable to tell what it was like. "That's how you should be..."

He was suddenly speechless.

This pearl that was supposed to be shining was almost covered by him and them.

So he didn't say anything, just re-clamped the big bag and raised his leg.He walked two steps in the snow with difficulty, his lips moved, and he said something, and then a sentence came to Kou Qiu's ears lightly.

"—I am no longer a teacher."

He can no longer delay the second time of the student's life.

Kou Qiu stood in the snow without moving for a long time.He exhaled softly, the man had already stepped on the snow and came to him, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked back at Teacher Liu who had gone a little further, "Who is that?"

Kou Qiu said: "The teacher in charge of the high school class."

Kan Jun immediately identified this person in his mind, and his eyebrows joined together.He put away his umbrella, took the big black umbrella from the boy's hand and covered them both, and said, "Why is he looking for you?"

He knew that the boy's high school class teacher at that time was contributing to this incident, so he naturally didn't have a good impression.His voice turned cold, "Did he talk to you?"

Kou Qiu hooked his palm, signaling him not to be nervous.

"It's all right," Kou veteran cadre said, "just talking."

Kan Jun held his hand, but didn't let go.

"Are your shoes wet?"

Kou Qiu is wearing snow boots, which are quite thick and not wet yet.The man looked down, but showed his generous back without saying a word, "Come up."

Kou Qiu didn't move, "Uncle, the floor is slippery."

"Come up," the man said a second time without doubt, "be careful you fall again."

"...Really going to go?"

"Ah."

So the boy lightly jumped up and jumped up.One of his hands hugged the man's neck, dangling his legs, and he held an umbrella with the other.

Kan Jun pushed him up, breathing steadily, "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking," Kou Qiu said, "if the grades were changed to success, would everything be different?"

Uncle Kan carefully didn't want to hear about that person, so he snorted coldly.

Kou Qiu just laughed, and lowered his head to kiss the snowflakes that were accidentally stained in the other party's hair.The snowflakes melted on his lips, it was cold.

The man pretended not to care and walked away for a long time, but couldn't help asking: "He contacted you again?"

Kou Qiu pretended to be stupid, "Who?"

Kan Jun's voice was slightly cold, "Yang Yang."

Senior officer Kou smiled even deeper.

"No," he said, hugging the man tightly, "I'm just thinking about it."

Our lives should have been misplaced.You occupy my orbit, and I can only lead to another ending that is not mine.

But now, after all, it has been reversed.
