Every morning, it is not the alarm clock that wakes up the "ghost brother", not the call of Liu Jianshe or Zheng Lijuan, but the vibrant, passionate birds and birds on the plane tree in the yard, cheerful calls, and tactful singing voices, wake up the people in their sleep and start the day's jubilation.

When the first birdsong sounded in his ears, "Brother Ghost" opened his eyes, got up, got dressed, and when he went out, he heard Liu Jianshe and Zheng Lijuan get up in a hurry. It was already dawn, the sun was still hidden behind the opposite mountain, and there were cathartic snoring, yawning and chirping in the windows of the alley. The sound of babies drinking milk on the ground, the rhythmic squeaks and clatters echoing in the open space on the streets, the shepherds on the embankment of the Qishui River have driven their flocks of sheep in the fresh wild grass in search of fresh juice, which makes people have the illusion that both people and sheep have not returned all night, and have been looking for and sucking food; the cool breeze for a long time slowly stirred up the lush corn forest, graceful willow trees and thick and straight poplar trees, and the sound of wind chimes opened this beautiful day.

When she came back from her morning run, Liu Jianshe was still busy working in the carpentry shed, and Zheng Lijuan was holding a broom and wrapping an apron to clean up in the yard. "Brother Ghost" quickly finished washing, ran to Zheng Lijuan, and said resignedly: "Aunt-what do you see me doing?" Zheng Lijuan looked at her with a smile, raised her eyes and thought about it, and said: I have cleaned up what should be wiped and swept in the house, and I will sweep it in the yard and put the sundries in the place - "Brother Ghost" shouted happily: Then I will come! As he spoke, he snatched the broom from Zheng Lijuan's hand, bent down, and waved it vigorously, and the dust flew all over the yard in an instant.

Zheng Lijuan stood at the door of the kitchen, patted the dust on her body with her apron, looked at the stunned "ghost brother" excitedly, and shouted loudly: Son-son-slow sweep, slow down, choke everyone to death! "Ghost brother" turned his head, looked at Zheng Lijuan stupidly, smiled from ear to ear, and slowed down.

Zheng Lijuan was overjoyed, looked at him with joy, pretended to be calm, and said half-jokingly: Brother Ghost, why are you so happy, do you want to be good with others, or come to our two families today to settle this matter! Liu Jianshe heard this, and also echoed: Yes, I can think it's okay!

"Brother Ghost" raised the corners of his mouth happily, looked at the two of them, and said half-jokingly: Okay - just continue to clean the yard and clean up everything. Zheng Lijuan threw the towel to the "ghost brother", handed him half a basin of water, and shouted at Liu Jianjian: Construction, I don't have any vegetables at home, do you want to buy some in the town?

Before Liu Jianshe could answer, the "ghost brother" raised his head buried in the basin, dripping water droplets, and shouted excitedly: I'll go-I'll go-I'll go-Liu Jianshe looked at Zheng Lijuan, shook his head and smiled. Zheng Lijuan went back to the bedroom to get the money.

"Brother Ghost" also went to push out the bicycle, wiped it with a rag, and took the money handed by Zheng Lijuan, and Zheng Lijuan said everything she wanted to buy. The "ghost brother" stepped into the car and ran out of the alley, the sun was hanging at the mouth of the alley, and he was still hiding among the poplars and willows on the river embankment, for fear that his blushing face would be blown away by the cool wind.

It just happened to be the fair, and the early stalls were already set up and ready to start welcoming buyers for the day. There are a lot of delicate and tender vegetables, green, yellow, red, white...... Picking the dew and smiling, waiting for the buyer. According to Zheng Lijuan's explanation, the "ghost brother" ran around for more than 40 minutes to buy all the ingredients, put them in a vegetable basket, put them on the front handlebar, and rode on the Fanqingjiang Bridge. On the embankment of the Qishui River, the people in a hurry began to set off, shoulder-picking, cart-pulling, and rushing to the market, and then they became lively, rubbing shoulders on the embankment, and walking with each other.

When I was about to arrive at the stone bridge, I saw two mother and daughter on the stone bridge who were brightly dressed and had obvious differences from the dress of rural people, walking hand in hand, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountain countryside while walking. Looking at it from afar, "Brother Ghost" feels that it is the magnolia, the magnolia that stands proudly on the branches, and the magnolia that can only be fragrant when it gets closer, but it still keeps trailing, watching from a distance and not playing with it. It wasn't until the two of them were inspected by many villagers at the bridge, and after looking at it, they turned into the alley, and he was completely sure that it was the magnolia that bloomed on the branches and had already been dazzling before the crowd of flowers, and in the alley covered with golden light, flowing with hair and fragrance, and walked leisurely to the end of the long one.

Teacher Zhang, "Ghost Brother", chased him to the alley and shouted at the backs of the two. When the two of them heard the shout, they turned around and saw the sweaty "ghost brother", and said in surprise: Have you been behind us all along?

"Brother Ghost" smiled and said, "No, I saw you two on the stone bridge, but I didn't dare to be sure, so I followed him all the way to the alley!" Zhang Xuemei looked at him with a smile and said, "Why are you going so early?" As she spoke, she handed "Brother Ghost" a piece of tissue.

Oh - went to the fair!" "Brother Ghost" said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and followed behind the two. Teacher Zhang asked: Liu Guixian, you got up very early this morning, and you have already rushed to the market! "Brother Ghost" smiled "hahaha" and said: Not only this, but also running, and tidying up the yard-

Zhang Xuemei turned her head and glared at him, and said: "On purpose, your teacher Zhang just complained that I couldn't get up in the morning all the way, and you deliberately showed it off!" "Ghost Brother" smiled happily after hearing this, with a hint of pride and teasing. Teacher Zhang said in a slightly angry tone: Isn't what I said wrong?

Liu Jianshe heard the movement at the door in the carpentry shed, raised his eyes, quickly put down the things in his hand, took off his glasses, and hurriedly walked out, patting the sawdust on his hand while catching up. "Brother Ghost" stopped the bicycle, lifted the vegetable basket to the kitchen, and Zheng Lijuan, who was sitting in front of the stove and pulling the bellows, said to her: Auntie-Teacher Zhang, they have arrived!

After Zheng Lijuan listened, she stood up, patted the cigarette ash on her body, walked out of the door, and saw that the three people were already greeting in the yard. The "ghost brother" ran home, and the table, stools, chairs, kettle, and freshly bought fruit should be placed in place under the shade of the trees in the yard. Zhang Xuemei also came over quietly, intending to help, but when she saw that the "ghost brother" had been arranged, she stopped the "ghost brother" and asked suspiciously: Brother ghost, why did Mr. Zheng speak like this-

"Brother Ghost" smiled and said: It's good to get used to it, I've been taking medicine! After hearing this, tears welled up in Zhang Xuemei's eyes, and a few drops of dew slid down the pink and white magnolia petals. When the "ghost brother" finished his work and looked up again, a line of tears had disappeared in the lines of the petals. "Brother Ghost" wanted to raise his hand to wipe it off for him, but the outstretched hand retracted.

Liu Jianshe saw "Ghost Brother" and Zhang Xuemei packing up, so he asked Teacher Zhang to sit down, and Zheng Lijuan pulled Teacher Zhang to sit down. Liu Jianshe took the initiative to go to the kitchen, looked at the breakfast, and heard Zheng Lijuan shouting: Construction, the meal is ready, you don't have to worry about it, wash your hands, let Teacher Zhang rest, let's get ready to eat!

Zheng Lijuan looked at Zhang Xuemei, took Xuemei's hand, and said to Teacher Zhang: I haven't seen Xuemei for several years, but she has become a big girl, and she is getting more and more beautiful!

Zheng Lijuan looked at Zhang Xuemei and said with a smile: Xuemei, what do you think now? Zhang Xuemei looked at Teacher Zhang, smiled at Zheng Lijuan and said: I want to find a job in the provincial capital, after all, there are more opportunities in big cities! Zheng Lijuan smiled happily, looked at Teacher Zhang and said: That's just right, when the ghost brother starts school, you just happen to be a companion, and you will take care of each other!

Teacher Zhang glanced at Zhang Xuemei, held Zheng Lijuan's hand and said: Besides, it is difficult for secondary school students to find jobs now, now they are all choosing their own jobs, her grandfather is also looking for a job for the trust relationship, it is best to come back, a girl is often wild outside, who will marry in the future, who else will she want! Zheng Lijuan nodded and said half-jokingly: Other people's families can't look down on it, but our ghost brother can!

Teacher Zhang patted the back of Zheng Lijuan's hand, laughed hahaha, and deliberately jokingly said: Brother Ghost - a college student, it is estimated that he will not be able to look at it in the future! Zhang Xuemei blushed and shouted at the two of them in a coquettish voice: Mom-aunt-you have come to the marriage family today!

"Brother Ghost" blushed on the side, watching the shy magnolia bathing in the spring breeze on the branches - Liu Jianjian, who was holding the rice bowl, almost threw the bowl away happily, and said with a smile: Okay - okay - then climb a high branch today and settle this matter!

The pink magnolia was even more shy, shook her waist, and said with a little anger: "Uncle—what's wrong with you today, did you mean it?" Teacher Zhang looked at Liu Jianjian's stupid appearance, and said with a half-joking smile: "My son is not in a hurry, my son is in a hurry!" "Brother Ghost" stood up, lowered his head and said: "Yes—I agree!"

After speaking, she walked towards the kitchen, and the shy Yulan began to bloom, and said angrily: What is it, what do you agree to! As she spoke, she was about to lift her delicate branches to beat the "ghost brother", "ghost brother" quickly dodged and approached the kitchen, and the three adults laughed when they saw it, Zheng Lijuan smiled and said: "I haven't grown up yet, I'm still a child!"

"Brother Ghost" helped put the food on the table, and Zheng Lijuan said to Teacher Zhang embarrassedly: It's all peasant food, and I don't know if you are used to eating it, so you sit down on your own! Teacher Zhang said a little angrily: Sister, don't say that, I am also a rural person, I haven't eaten these things for many years, and my mouth has long been greedy!

Liu Jianshe picked up a piece of green onion cake, handed it to Teacher Zhang, picked up another piece and handed it to Zhang Xuemei, and said half-jokingly: Come - daughter-in-law, try it! Zhang Xuemei was like a gorgeous magnolia that was about to fade, crooked on the branch, and looked at Liu Jianshe helplessly. Zheng Lijuan looked at Liu Jianshe and said stupidly: Don't joke with Xuemei, let the child eat well!

Liu Jianshe nodded busily, looked at Teacher Zhang and said: Eat, eat quickly!
