The photo, which has been standing in the weakest corner of the bookcase, is rarely looked at by "Brother Xian", for fear that it will sting the weakest part of his heart and soften his ambition. The background in the photo is "Sweet Honey Barber Shop", Yang Caixia is wearing a white dress, curly hair, and her face is full of sweet smiles, a little shy or twisted - this photo is actually "Brother Xian" turned out of a pile of debris, covered with stains that can no longer be distinguished, and later asked the photographer to retake it, and with the only memory he has left, Wang Yongchao photoshopped it, in fact, now it seems that he can't remember his mother's true face.

"Sweet Honey Barber Shop" is Yang Caixia's patchwork together, the east borrowed the west family, and made up enough rent and the cost of purchasing hair tools, and opened it in the middle of the row of façade houses between the supply and marketing cooperatives and the township. The store is 3.5 meters open, about 9 meters deep, separated from 2/3 of the depth, the front is used for business, and the back is the place of accommodation and accommodation. On the two walls of the sales department, there are all color photos of Teresa Teng and others found from the "Film Pictorial", and the red cigarette case is cut into lace with scissors and surrounded around the photo, which can be regarded as a decorative picture frame. The most extravagant is the cassette recorder, but the radio part is basically used every day, there is no tape, but it is good, it makes a little monotonous and a little fashionable, in line with the temperament of a barbershop.

This barber shop, coupled with Yang Caixia's reborn delicate appearance, soon became a gathering place for young and strong men in the neighborhood, scratching their heads at the door, either fiddling with their 28-weight bicycles or humming loudly along with the occasional song on the radio, in order to attract Yang Caixia's attention. Some even came to Yang Caixia, cut off their long hair today, shave their hair into a bald head tomorrow, and then find an opportunity to shave their beards when they were finished. I can't help but think of Zhao Zhongxiang's narration: "Spring is blooming, everything is recovering, and it's mating season again! The male turtle lies on the body of the female turtle and makes a hearty sound."

But outside this group of people, there was always a person wearing a white shirt, blue pants, two knees and buttocks, with three black patches sewn together, sitting far away on the pier of the stone bridge, quietly looking at Yang Caixia in the "Sweet Honey Barber Shop", his eyes followed the busy figure, like a kite, Yang Caixia pulled the thread, and he flew with it.

He is Cao Xilin, who used to be Yang Caixia's junior high school temporary teacher, 3-5 years older than her, the last educated youth, after resuming the college entrance examination, he applied twice to return to the city, but he was unsuccessful, and he was also the person who recognized her at first sight after Yang Caixia came back from studying art and got off the bus, and he was also the most admired and envious teacher in Yang Caixia's junior high school stage. Since that inadvertently met Yang Caixia's new makeup, it has aroused layers of ripples in his heart, and he dreams night and night, and his graceful dreams are full of the urge to hold hands, a gentle smile, and a spring realm. But he didn't dare to approach, he didn't want to be frivolous like them, he just watched from afar.

The heavy door panel is the pain in Yang Caixia's palms every night, and it can also make Cao Xilin's heart tremble. Every night, I watched Yang Caixia use her tired body and white hands to move the heavy door panel, and when she put it on, his hands tightly grasped the railing of the stone bridge, but every time he was struggling to wear out the impulse. A few times he deliberately took advantage of the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, trying to find an opportunity to help Yang Caixia, but when she came to her, Yang Caixia would stop what she was doing, look at her quietly, and force herself away with that kind of respectful and adoring eyes.

That morning, he was in a hurry to go to the township ** to submit the application materials, just walked to the door of the township**, Yang Caixia was dismantling the heavy door panel and leaning against the corner, when he turned around and was about to disassemble the other one, the door panel leaning on the corner of the wall suddenly began to tilt slowly, at that moment, Cao Xilin hurriedly rushed up, and the two door panels smashed heavily on his right arm, taking advantage of the situation to come and hold it with the other hand, so as to be stable. The door panel was already next to Yang Caixia's hair, and it did not sink again. Yang Caixia was really startled, and when she came back to her senses and saw Cao Xilin's face in pain, she hurriedly reached out to help take over the door panel, and the two of them put it on the ground together.

Yang Caixia saw that Cao Xilin's right arm was rubbed and broken, and the blood was seeping out, and her tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. Cao Xilin endured the pain and hurriedly said: It's okay - it's okay - it's okay - I'll go to the health center to wipe some iodine wine! Yang Caixia wiped away her tears and helped Cao Xilin to walk towards the health center, although the distance was very short, but Cao Xilin hoped to walk slower, and then slowly, the warm temperature on her hand was like an electric current injected into her body, slightly hot ironing, and her whole body was transparent. When he came back from the health center, Cao Xilin helped straighten the door panel on the ground according to the corner of the wall, and put the undismantled door panel in place, and hurried to the township**, but pulled the iodine wine given by the health center in the barber shop.

That night, Cao Xilin found that he hadn't brought the iodine wine home, so he hurried to the barber shop to get it, and Yang Caixia just packed the remaining piece of the door panel. He walked to the door and told him a little shyly that Yang Caixia took him into the house, and through the light, he found that a large bruise had begun to appear around the wound on his right arm. The two lines of tears were like a trickling stream, once again dripping down his face, dripping on the ground, and even dripping into Cao Xilin's heart, playing with suppressed emotions. He couldn't help but take her into his arms, comforting her while hugging her tightly. Yang Caixia crawled in Cao Xilin's arms, crying louder, tears in her eyes, like a flood that opened the floodgates, unable to stop. In this way, the two hugged tightly, and no one separated. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building, and the night wind seems to overturn the world, like a roaring lion about to swallow the world, the branches of the trees beat violently, as if they want to play the song of the night solo, without mixing other instruments and sounds, and the downpour rain is menacing after a fierce wind, smashing on the roof, and the rapid drumbeat makes the night boil completely.

The water of the Qishui River rose, and the flood of the river rumbled towards the Fanqing River, like a cheerful child rushing into the happy arms of his mother, and more like a woman who has been reunited for a long time running to a man who has missed her for a long time. But there will be days when the flood will slow down, just like the happy days of Cao Xilin and Yang Caixia, there will eventually be results that can be met but cannot be sought.

That day, Cao Xilin helped unload the door panel, leaned neatly against the corner of the wall, and recorded the size of the door on the cigarette case. Quietly went out, went to the north of the township ** to find Liu Jianjian, and told him that he wanted to make a door and a large window for the barber shop, hoping to use the door panel as his working hour. Liu Jianshe looked at the size, calculated for a few minutes, and agreed with a smile. Cao Xilin, who was excited, wanted to give this to Yang Caixia quietly as a gift, and everything was negotiated, including the installation later, and hurried back to school.

The flood of the Qishui River is smaller, and it has returned to the previous gurgling water, Cao Xilin received a notice to return to the city before the gift was given to Yang Caixia, and he couldn't give Yang Caixia any promises.
