Zheng Lijuan glanced around the river embankment with great interest, but she didn't see the figure of the "ghost brother", and was wondering: Where can this child run? When she was pondering the ground, a burly young man with a big waist and a round waist, dark skin, pedaled in front of her, and said in a rough voice: It's Teacher Zheng, right?

Zheng Lijuan was a little stunned, and the guy smiled innocently and said: Oh - I am the brother of "Ghost Brother", my name is Zhang Guoqiang! Listen to "Ghost Brother" always talk about you - hehehe - Zheng Lijuan relaxed and said: That- why haven't I seen you at school?

Zhang Guoqiang was a little shy, and said embarrassedly: I am older than "Ghost Brother", I can't study, and I graduated early!

Oh-then you're now,——? Zheng Lijuan asked again and again. Zhang Guoqiang smiled and said: I am now following my father to kill pigs and sell meat!

Zheng Lijuan approached Zhang Guoqiang, patted him on the solid shoulder, and said: Okay! Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion! Zhang Guoqiang asked again: Teacher, what are you doing here?

Zheng Lijuan remembered to find the "ghost brother", and hurriedly said: Oh - looking for your brother, I'm in a bad mood, I ran out alone, I'll take a look! Zhang Guoqiang frowned, thought for a while and said: I didn't see it on the embankment, I didn't see it all the way?

Zheng Lijuan was a little puzzled, and even a little anxious, Zhang Guoqiang looked at Zheng Lijuan who was hesitating, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: Teacher, don't worry, I know he went there, teacher, you wait for me at the bridge, I'll put the car down, I'll take you there! Zhang Guoqiang stepped into the car, and rushed across the stone bridge and entered the village. Zheng Lijuan stood at the head of the bridge, a little worried, and a little expectant looking at the direction where Zhang Guoqiang was going.

After a while, Zhang Guoqiang was out of breath and ran over, wiping his sweat while saying, "Teacher—let's go, I'll take you there!" When the two of them walked to the foot of the back mountain, Zhang Guoqiang turned his head and asked: "Teacher, can you crawl?" Why don't you wait for me here?

Zheng Lijuan took a breath and said: The teacher is not so delicate, I am also from the mountains, let's go, brother, lead the way! Zhang Guoqiang laughed happily after hearing this, and said: "Brother Ghost" When he has something in his heart, he will go to these three places - Fenqing River swimming, Qishui River embankment wandering, and Houshan Cemetery in a daze! Zheng Lijuan suddenly realized "oh-" and the two of them gasped and climbed to the Houshan cemetery.

When I was about to arrive, I already saw the "ghost brother" sitting on the side of the hill. Zheng Lijuan stopped Zhang Guoqiang and said: Brother, you have to keep your brother's matter secret for him today, you can't let your other brothers know about it and laugh at him! Zhang Guoqiang nodded, and then said with a little disdain: I know - secret - but, what is my brother, he himself said that he is a well-known copper pea that cannot be steamed, boiled thoroughly, smashed or chewed, don't worry, teacher!

Zheng Lijuan suppressed her voice and laughed "hehehe", and said: "What about copper peas, at most they are peas! As soon as they are fried, they will fly! Quietly walked behind the "ghost brother", Zhang Guoqiang went up and hugged him, startled the "ghost brother", and was eager to break free, so he caught a glimpse of Zheng Lijuan. The "ghost brother" who was caught by Zhang Guoqiang said to Zheng Lijuan: Teacher Zheng, how can you find here, this is my secret base!

Zheng Lijuan looked at his funny appearance, couldn't help laughing, Zhang Guoqiang let go of his hand, "ghost brother" looked back, and said: I guess it's you, Brother Qiang! Zhang Guoqiang stood beside him aggrievedly, lowered his head and said: I see that the teacher is looking for you very quickly, so I brought her here. Zheng Lijuan walked up to the "ghost brother", touched his head, and asked: Where is my mother, take me to see? "Ghost brother" reluctantly took them to Yang Caixia's grave, after years of rain erosion, the handwriting on the tombstone has been blurred, the grave is very small, the small ones are almost level with the ground, a few bushes of vines are crazy entwined around the grave, Zheng Lijuan respectfully bowed three times, wanted to remove the grass on the grave, but did not pull it, so the branches were skimmed off, leaving only a small part of the rhizome. "Brother Ghost" saw Zheng Lijuan who was struggling and said, "Teacher Zheng, don't bother, I'll clean it up another day!" Let's go down the mountain!

Zheng Lijuan looked at the calm "ghost brother", smiled, and the three of them followed each other down the mountain. When she was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Zheng Lijuan, who was not holding back, still opened her mouth and asked: Guixian, do you remember what your mother looks like? Tell me? "Brother Ghost" stopped and said as he walked: The appearance is very blurry now, and I can still remember the voice, which is very similar to your voice, and the eyes or the nose are also quite similar to you, and I can't remember it anymore!

Zheng Lijuan was behind the "ghost brother", stretched out her hand and rubbed his head, her eyes couldn't help but be a little wet, and she said with a little crying: "What, you are still angry with your aunt today, Zhang Xuemei's matter?" "Ghost brother" stopped, looked back at Zheng Lijuan with tears in her eyes, and said: No, I'm not angry with you! It's just that I feel a little sudden, and it is too sudden! Zheng Lijuan smiled softly and said: "I left gently, just as I came gently; I gently beckoned to be the clouds of the western sky." "Brother Ghost" turned his head and asked, "Teacher Zheng, what are you talking about?" Zheng Lijuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Nothing, nothing!"

Zhang Guoqiang suddenly interjected and said: "Brother Ghost," what's the matter, which girl are you targeting? "Brother Ghost" pretended to be angry and said: What is your business? Zhang Guoqiang also replied: Of course it's my business, you are a role model for the "brothers," and you are still pointing to you! "Brother Ghost" said angrily: Let go of your heart, I won't let you down! Zheng Lijuan listened to the conversation between the "brothers" and also felt the cuteness of the "ghost brother," and interjected: Okay, you two! Zhang Guoqiang, are you still going to your "brother's" house?

As he spoke, he had already walked to the bridgehead, the moon was already hanging on the poplar treetops of the river embankment, and the people in Xia Liang had already sat at the bridgehead in the dark. Zhang Guoqiang snorted and said: Teacher, don't go, I don't want to play with this unproductive person, I'm going to Xia Liang!

When he was about to reach the mouth of the alley, he shouted to Zhang Guoqiang: "Brother Qiang, will you go to the town tomorrow?" Zhang Guoqiang replied from afar: Go, what's wrong? Bring this tutorial book to you tomorrow! "Brother Ghost" turned his head and shouted as he walked, Zhang Guoqiang's answer was basically inaudible, Zheng Lijuan asked after listening to it: What kind of book are you carrying? "Ghost brother" smiled evilly and said: Lie to him! He didn't hear it at all! After speaking, he laughed "hahaha."

Liu Chunyan took the time to come back and get a few changes of clothes, and Liu Jianshe had already made dinner and were waiting for them. Zheng Lijuan saw Liu Chunyan, and said excitedly, for such a long time, it was the first time they met, it was conceivable that after more than ten years, the two hugged each other and cried with joy. Zheng Lijuan looked at Liu Chunyan and said to Liu Jianjian: "The change is really great, you are like this, we meet on the road, I almost can't recognize it! After speaking, Liu Chunyan wiped her tears and asked everyone to sit down and say. The four of them sat around the table, all of which were Liu Chunyan and Zheng Lijuan talking excitedly, and smacking with Liu Jianshe and "Brother Ghost" at the place of eating.

After eating, Liu Chunyan was very sorry, saying that she still had to be on duty tonight, so she could only go to the hospital first, and she would go to the school another day to find Zheng Lijuan. Zheng Lijuan also felt deeply sorry, but there was no way. After the two cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Jianshe rode a motorcycle to see Liu Chunyan off. Zheng Lijuan walked over, sat next to him, and said earnestly: Guixian, what do you think of Zhang Xuemei? "Brother Ghost" lowered his head and said embarrassedly: I don't think much of it, I just want to study and chat with her! Zheng Lijuan patted him on the shoulder, and then said: Actually, it's nothing, but as long as two people put their minds to studying, motivate each other, help each other, learn from each other, and the two of them twist into a rope and move forward bravely towards the goal you have set, wouldn't that be better! Zheng Lijuan gave a thumbs up to the "ghost brother" and said: Mom is not here, you can tell your aunt if you have anything on your mind in the future, is it okay? Dad can't solve it, I'll solve it for you, is it okay?

"Brother Ghost" had tears in his eyes and nodded frequently. Liu Jianshe came back, and the "ghost brother" gave Zheng Lijuan a look, and quietly went back to his bedroom. He was still thinking about the small box that Zhang Xuemei gave her, turned on the light, and carefully opened it: it was the book - "The Ordinary World", and the title page was sandwiched with a paper folded paper crane. The "ghost brother" with moist eyes put the book next to his pillow and fell asleep quietly.
