Tolerate

In the early morning, on the dusty rural concrete road, a dilapidated bus crawled forward panting like an old cow.Suddenly, the driver, Master Liu, scolded his mother and slammed on the brakes, and Lao Niu suddenly lay on the side of the road.

The drowsy Chi Muyun woke up with a jolt.

She took out the Nokia in her pocket and looked at it. It was only 7 o'clock, and it turned out that it hadn't been 15 minutes since she got on the bus.

Sitting next to him were two little boys who looked like students, stretching their necks to look at the phone in Mu Yun's hand.Nokia color screen machine Alas, the two of them stared at Chi Muyun enviously.

In 2004, Nokia color-screen phones were just in fashion.

Chi Muyun was expressionless, but he was extremely embarrassed in his heart. He felt that he was a bit like a big brother in a Hong Kong movie with a brick mobile phone. In the eyes of others, every pore probably exuded a pretentious atmosphere.So he quickly put the phone back in his pocket.

But on her slender wrist, there is a small platinum watch, which is very eye-catching.The two boys still glanced over from time to time.

The child doesn't understand how expensive this watch is, but simply thinks the style is so flashy. I guess you can't buy such a good-looking watch in the county.

The conductor, Zuo Xinmiao, was a young girl, also pretty, with a curvy, protruding, upturned figure. She leaned most of her body out of the car door and shouted, "Hey! Little girl! Hurry up, get on the bus!" Wait to open!"

Then she retracted her body, turned around and complained to the aunts and aunts in the front row: "It's that silly girl from Lao Lu's family who didn't keep the sheep well, so she had to go to the side of the road to do so several times!"

Lu family?

Chi Muyun opened the window of the car he was leaning on just now, and looked out, and saw not far from the side of the road, a girl wearing an old straw hat was waving a whip, driving a group of sheep across the road.

The girl lowered her head, and Chi Muyun couldn't tell if she was Cousin Lu's stupid daughter.

However, there are not many people with the surname Lu in Shangliwanzi, and there are even fewer silly girls with the surname Lu. It should be because she didn't run away.

Chi Muyun remembered that a few years ago, his grandfather held a school entrance banquet for him, and Biao Lu's sister-in-law brought the child. That silly girl had big dazed eyes.

At that time, Chi Muyun couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

To be honest, except for the silly look between her brows, this girl is very pretty.Especially those eyes, wet with long eyelashes.

The silly girl didn't seem to hear the conductor's reminder and the driver's scolding, her movements were slow, and the flock of sheep ran in a mess. It's been 3 minutes, and a large flock hasn't passed yet.

Chi Muyun stared at the big sheep that were as white as clouds outside for a long time, and felt that it was boring, so he retracted his head.After a while, the sheep completely crossed the road.Master Liu finally activated Lao Niu and continued to climb the slope slowly.

Because of motion sickness, Chi Muyun was dizzy, and the strong smell of sweat in the car made her feel nauseous.

This is the worst part of spending summer vacation at grandparents' house, the traffic is inconvenient.There are a few crooked concrete roads, and there are only a few buses a day.

She propped her head on her hands and closed her eyes.The scorching sun shone through the car window, causing her delicate brows to frown slightly.

Chi Muyun finally regretted not driving back.Grandpa's headache medicine is almost gone, and she went to the county to buy medicine today.

Parents are very filial to their grandparents and want the old couple to move to a big city, but the old couple insists on guarding the old house.

Chi Muyun knew that grandparents were reluctant to part with aunt and uncle.So during the winter and summer vacations, she occasionally comes back to accompany her grandparents.

Two hours later, the Laoniu bus finally arrived at Hongshan County.After Chi Muyun bought the medicine, he planned to stroll around casually.

As soon as I arrived in the city, the mobile phone signal got better, and the unread text messages popped up one after another.

"Muyun, what are you busy with?"----Chen Siming.

Chi Muyun pursed her lips, and replied: "I'm not busy, it's quite boring at grandparents' house."

"Really? Haha, probably not. There are many interesting things in the countryside, and I have never been there."----Chen Siming.

Chi Muyun knew that Chen Siming might have some thoughts about him.She doesn't think she hates him, but she doesn't like him either.

Chi Muyun looked down at his phone, frowning slightly.Just got out of the car, the nausea of ​​motion sickness has not passed, she is not very eager to chat.

The wind on the street blows sand and soil, carrying the dryness characteristic of a continental climate.Chi Muyun narrowed his eyes, bowed his head and replied, "Sorry, I'm a little motion sick, I'll go find you." Then he put the phone back in his pocket.

When passing by the pedestrian street, Chi Muyun went in to have a casual look.

The small pedestrian street in the urban-rural fringe is a small alley a few meters wide, with densely packed small shops on both sides of the street, selling clothes, shoes, books, food and so on.

She walked around and saw a store selling straw hats, so she opened the rattling curtain of plastic beads, stepped in, and looked at the shelves.

The proprietress who was sitting in the corner eating melon seeds glanced at her.The young woman who came in was tall and tall, with long straight black hair parted in the middle, and delicate eyebrows.The clothes on her body looked simple and elegant, but they were full of texture, and they were very expensive at first glance.

Although the proprietress only sells cheap clothes, she can still tell which clothes are expensive.She quickly put down the melon seeds, walked over and asked, "Girl, do you want to buy hats? Just look around, there are both for adults and children, the styles are so pretty..."

Chi Muyun nodded, picked one for grandma, and went to the counter to pay for it. For some reason, a small figure of Lu Qingming flashed in her mind.The girl was thin, with a worn straw hat on her head.

She turned and picked up another small straw hat tied with a bright ribbon.

The proprietress smiled and said, "It's 12 yuan in total." Chi Muyun nodded and gave her 20 yuan.

The proprietress chatted up while looking for money: "Is the girl going to college? How old is she?"

Chi Muyun raised his eyelids and replied, "Well, it's a senior year."

Walking out of the shop, she walked quickly to the station.I bought a ticket to go back, came out of the station again, bought some boiled corn and a few dishes my grandfather asked for, and entered the station slowly, just in time to check the ticket and get on the train.

Shangliwanzi Village is not a remote and backward village. It has cement roads and running water. The fly in the ointment is that it has not yet connected to the Internet.There are grasslands in this area, and the unowned grasslands on the mountain are also spacious, which is suitable for the development of animal husbandry, so almost every household has cattle and sheep.

After getting out of the car, the night in the sky has slowly pulled up, and the sound of sheep returning home can be heard one after another in the wilderness.

Chi Muyun walked unhurriedly along the road between the fields.Looking at the bright straw hat in the bag, she became troubled.What did you think before you bought it?When did she become so nosy?

Chi Muyun has always been stuck in his grandparents' yard and could not come out.But everyone in the village knows that the Chi family has a daughter who is not only handsome, but also well-behaved and worry-free. She was admitted to the top ten universities in China, a typical child from "other people's family".

Even if it was the aunt's house, Chi Muyun couldn't go there twice a year.

Cousin is not at home all year round, only cousin Guiqin and aunt are at home to take care of the children.Every time Chi Muyun goes, he just sits and chats for a while.The sister-in-law seemed to hug her son forever, and the aunt was also getting old, so she had nothing to say to Chi Muyun.

As for that silly girl from the Lu family, it seems that Chi Muyun rarely sees her in the back room.If you think about it carefully, you should know that it's probably the cousin who didn't let that silly girl out.

Chi Muyun sighed softly, took out the bright straw hat, and put it on his head casually.

As soon as we got to the door of the house, we saw a group of sheep pouring into the gate of grandpa's house from a distance.

It turned out to be just in time for Yanggui circle.Chi Muyun was afraid of startling the sheep, so he stood aside and watched.There was a small figure in the flock, and the sheep huffed past the small figure, and were naturally divided into two groups, the big sheep entered the big pen, and the young sheep entered the small pen.

The little figure ran into the yard again "dumping" and put the little lamb into the big circle to suckle.

Not only in Shangliwanzi Village, but also in Xialiwanzi Village and other villages with pastures, two or more cooperatives are used to herd sheep in shifts, saving time and effort.

Lu Qingming kept her own sheep and her great-grandfather's sheep, but she didn't work in shifts. She had to herd sheep every day after the holiday, and her great-grandfather would give money to her stepmother.

She wiped off her sweat, fastened the iron bolt on the door of the sheepfold effortlessly, and ran to her own sheep outside the yard, only to find someone standing there at the door.

It was a young woman with a straw hat pulled low over her eyebrows, seeming to be looking at her, but also not seeming to be looking at her.

Lu Qingming lowered his head, slowly feeling that the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar.

Probably years ago?That day, grandma asked her to change into new clothes, wash her hair, face and feet, and went to a very lively place with more than a dozen tables full of delicious food and many people.

The woman was still staring at her.In fact, Lu Qingming doesn't like being stared at.Many adults and children in the village would stare at her and tease her.

But when this woman looked at her, she didn't find it annoying.

There were also several times when she secretly peeked into the inner room from the outer room of the house, and she was also sitting on Kang Yan'er, with her long legs on the brick floor, talking to grandma and stepmother every now and then.

But the stepmother said that when people came to the house, she would hide in the west room and was not allowed to wander in the east room.She was behind the door curtain, secretly watching the woman tease the younger brother in the stepmother's arms with a light smile.

Turning her head again, the woman had already taken off her hat and was talking to her great-grandfather.Grandpa waved to this side, and the woman also raised her face and looked over.

Lu Qingming's eyes lit up, and he ran over.

The dirty little girl rushed over like the wind, and didn't stop in front of Chi Muyun, put her hands on her abdomen, and threw herself forward...

Fortunately, there is a wall one step behind Chi Muyun, otherwise she would definitely be thrown down.She leaned her arms back and leaned her back against the wall. The tip of Lu Qingming's nose barely stopped in front of her lower abdomen, sniffing, and was stunned.

She seemed to have jumped into the most comfortable place, and the pleasant smell enveloped her, but her vocabulary was too limited, and she couldn't think of a specific thought to describe how attractive the smell was to her.

After being dazed for half a second, Chi Muyun's expression was very ugly.

She has refused physical touch from others since she was a child. Only her mother can touch her hair, and she will feel very uncomfortable if someone touches her.

Grandpa originally beckoned Lu Qingming to come in for dinner.Today is the second day that Lu Qingming helps herd the sheep. The previous day, the family didn't have any special dishes. Today Chi Muyun came back from shopping. He wanted to keep this great-granddaughter for a delicious meal.

Grandpa turned his head to look at Mu Yun's face, knocked his walking stick on the ground, and roared with a voice like a gong: "You bastard! Why are you so stupid! Almost knocked your sister down!"

Chi Muyun suffered from pneumonia when he was very young, and suffered from tuberculosis in high school. This pair of sister Lin's lungs naturally also received the care of sister Lin.When Lu Qingming bumped into Chi Muyun, he provoked Grandpa.

Lu Qingming was a little frightened, and the willow stick in his hand shook.

Grandpa's first sentence, Lu Qingming, is so familiar that the stepmother has to read it every day.

Chi Muyun patted the wool and dust that had been rubbed on his clothes, feeling lingering fear: I'm afraid this kid can do light work, right?

Her face softened a little, and she saw Lu Qingming staring blankly at grandpa with wide open eyes.

Lu Qingming is not like other 10-year-old girls with pigtails and red, green and green hairstyles. Instead, she has a short and messy boy's hair. The clumsy scissors marks that were obviously not made by the barber are still left. on top.She was obviously taller than her peers, and her wheat-colored skin, combined with baggy and ill-fitting clothes, made her look more like a boy.

It could be seen that this beautiful woman was angry, and Lu Qingming couldn't help feeling annoyed at her behavior, even though she didn't know where she was wrong.She glanced at the woman secretly, and when she saw that she seemed to have found her gaze, she quickly turned her head.

It turns out that among the sheep put out by the silly girl this morning are grandpa's.Chi Muyun bent down, and put the straw hat in his hand on Lu Qingming's head.

While grazing sheep today, Lu Qingming's old straw hat was blown away by the wind and floated into a ditch several feet deep.

She lay on the edge of the ditch and watched for a long time, but it was gloomy and dark inside, so she turned her head and left.

This kind of big ditch fool only climbs down to get it.

Just go back and be scolded by the stepmother.Anyway, she pretended she couldn't hear it, and it was a lot of meat to be scolded.Anyway, as long as she can remember, she has been using silent tactics to drag down her stepmother.

Chi Muyun bent over, Lu Qingming had to look at her.

She looked even better when she smiled, her cold eyes were slightly curved, and her bright red lips set off her white teeth.

Lu Qingming stared blankly into her eyes, swallowed, and said nothing.

Chi Muyun said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, it's okay, you go back and take your medicine, I'll cook right away."

Grandpa responded and walked into the house on crutches.

As soon as grandpa left, Chi Muyun found that Lu Qingming began to stare at him unabashedly, and as soon as he met his gaze, she would shrink back.When Chi Muyun stopped looking at her, she stared straight at her again.

The eyes are a little direct, with a primitive wild taste, like a wild cat that has not been domesticated, which makes Chi Muyun a little uncomfortable.
