Pink Memories (short story) 2018.7.26

The feeling of sleeping at the house of the sunny girl is very wonderful, as if you are sleeping in a dream. So, I slept until 8 o'clock and didn't get up. At this time, I saw that Liangbao had already arrived at the door of Sister Qing's house with my travel bag and schoolbag, and shouted to me, "Lin Yanzi, let's go, let's catch the car, otherwise, it will be too late." ”

I know that the bus to the county seat departs at 9 o'clock at the entrance of the township street, and if I rush to it now, it will still be too late. However, I rubbed my eyes and said to him unhurriedly, "It's too late today, I want to come back tomorrow." "It was a decision I made when I went to bed last night. Liangbao said unhappily, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, so I didn't sleep well all night." I said apologetically, "I made this decision late in the night, so I can't tell you." When Sister Qing heard what I said, it was like a big stone in her heart falling to the ground, and she immediately said, "It doesn't matter if you go back one day earlier or one day later." Liangbao said, "He didn't come back yesterday, which made me very worried." I came to look for him again when it was dark in the evening, and my sister-in-law said that he went to Peach Blossom Village to find Sister Qing. I'm afraid I won't come back until eleven or twelve o'clock at night. So, I got his stuff ready. I said to Liangbao, "You bring the things back, and I will return to Xiuling in the afternoon." Liangbao said in an admonishing tone, "Call your parents and say that you will go back tomorrow." I said, "I see." ”

After calling my mother, I was able to spend the whole day with my sister-in-law. After breakfast, I went into Miss Haru's house. Her room was very clean and tidy, the walls, the sheets and bedding were all pink, giving people a very warm feeling, and there was a light smell of perfume. When Sister Qing saw me coming, she turned on the electric heater and asked me to sit next to the electric heater to keep warm. I saw a songbook next to her bed, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was "Pink Memories", which was the song that Miss Qing sang to me the day before yesterday. This songbook is named after the first song in it. I learned to sing according to the song, thinking that when I learned it, I could sing it to the sunny girl.

Summer passes quietly and leaves little secrets

Pressing the bottom of the heart, pressing the bottom of the heart can't tell you

The evening breeze warms my heart, and I think of you again

How sweet and so sweet, how can you forget

Can't forget that you wrote you in a diary

Can't forget that it's still you who are in your heart

Romantic summer, there is also a romantic you

Give me a pink memory

Oh summer, summer passed quietly and still miss you

Listening to me sing, Miss Qing also sang along. We all sang very affectionately and meaningfully, and our eyes were looking at each other, as if this song best expressed our emotions and affection for each other.

At this moment, Xu's father came into the house and asked me, "Lin Yanzi, do you know how to ride a bicycle?" I said, "Yes, I ride a bicycle every day to school." "Father Xu asked me to come to the living room. So, I followed him into the living room. He said to me, "Now I'm going to trouble you." I said, "It's okay, Daddy Xu, you say." Xu's father took out a dozen thick hundred-yuan bills and said, "This is 3,000 yuan, I want you to send it to Li Sanbao's house in Lijiaping, Huanghua Township, where Qingmeizi's uncle and aunt are there, you give them the money, have lunch at their house, and then come back." I said, "It's okay." Xu's father explained, "Originally, I was going to go, but a relative got married, and we had to go to the wedding, and Sister Qing couldn't ride a bicycle." I said, "No problem, you seal the money." Father Xu said, "No need." Then, he handed me the money in a pack of newspapers. I stuffed the money in my trouser pocket and went out the door. The bikes are ready and parked right in front of the door.

I was pushing the cart and leaving, but the eye-eyed girl grabbed me and said, "You can be careful, this mountain is not as big as Xi'an, and it is full of winding paths." You're going to have to ride slower. I said, "I know." So he got on the car and drove towards Huanghua Township. Huanghua Township is in the southwest of Zhushan Chong, passing through a war-ready highway in Honghua Township, and then going straight along a mountain road to Lijiaping. I walked this road, and there used to be a classmate who was there.

I rode my bicycle from the mountain path to the edge of the tea field and up to the war-ready road. Although two trucks can pass side by side on the war-ready road, there are very few cars on this road, so the road is full of potholes and rocks, and it is very laborious to ride a car, and there will be a big uphill and a big downhill on the road. When going up a big hill, you have to push the car up, and when you go down a big slope, you have to hold on to the car tightly. I finally left the war-ready road, but the path was very narrow, only two feet wide, and there were either ditches or paddy fields on both sides. I rode slowly on the trail. There were a few times when I didn't get it right, and the car was planted in the paddy field, but luckily it was winter and there was no water in the paddy field. So, I pushed the bike out of the field onto the road and continued riding.

It was already past 10 o'clock when I came out of Qingmeizi's house, so it was 12 o'clock when I rode to Lijiaping. Lijiaping is also a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is on the slope, and the path is the only way to enter and exit the mountain. I entered the village, which was still the same as I had seen before, and nothing had changed. I asked an old man who was herding ducks on the side of the road where Li Sanbao's house was. The old man pointed to a three-room house on the side of the mountain. The old man asked me what I had to do with Li Sanbao, and I thought it was a good thing for the old man, so I didn't answer him.

When I came to Li Sanbao's house, Sister Qing's uncle and aunt were sitting in the house waiting for me. When he saw me coming, he hurriedly got up and said, "Son, you are here." I handed the money to Sister Qing's uncle and said, "This is three thousand yuan, you can count the money." The old man took the money, opened the paper bag, counted the money, gave it to a fifty-year-old man sitting next to him, and said, "This is three thousand dollars, you can count it." The man took the money, and without counting it, he cried out, "Come here, cousin." A woman came from the kitchen and asked, "What's the matter?" The man handed the woman the money and said, "It's three thousand dollars, you put it away." The woman took the money and went into the next room.

At this time, I asked the old man, "I have a classmate from junior high school who lives here, named Li Mingquan, what is he doing now?" The old man poured me tea and said, "He didn't graduate from junior high school, so he went to Guangzhou, and I heard that he could earn more than 3,000 yuan a month as a chef there." "Three thousand dollars is a very big number. I said with great admiration, "He is a good mixer!" said the old man, "and he is the most promising of the young people in our village." Look at the new house at the entrance of the village, it was built in his house. "I looked towards the entrance of the village, and there was a new house that had just been built from one brick to the top.

After noon, the sky was a little overcast, and the uncle of the sunny girl stood in front of the door, looked at the sky for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it will rain in the afternoon." Hearing this, Li Sanbao asked the guests to hurry up and serve the food. The dishes were immediately placed on the table, a total of four dishes of two dizziness, two vegetarian dishes, and an egg soup. Li Sanbao's cousin said apologetically, "Originally, I had to cook a few more dishes, but you were in a hurry to leave, so you had to cook these dishes." ”

Because everyone was in a hurry, they couldn't care so much, so they picked up chopsticks and devoured them. As soon as the meal was finished, and the tea was not drunk, he said goodbye to the master. I went out with my uncle and aunt, and when I walked through the entrance of the village, I asked her uncle, "Why do you want to give this money to the Li family?" I asked, "How much is the bride price?" and her uncle gestured to me and said, "16,000 yuan." I was taken aback and asked, "Why do you want so much?" "Because I heard Liangbao say that the average person only needs 8,000 yuan. Her uncle sighed and said, "If the girl is beautiful, the price will be more." I said, "How come I haven't seen it?" said her uncle, "that girl is pretty and now working as a cashier in a supermarket in Changsha." As he spoke, he took out a color photo for me to see. When I looked at it, I thought that this girl was indeed beautiful and fashionably dressed. But it's still a bit rustic at first glance. It's not like a sunny girl, although it's also a country girl, but it's beautiful at a glance.

At this time, the sky was getting a little darker, and the wind began to blow, and it was about to rain. I parted ways with her uncle and aunt and rode along the trail at a speeding pace towards the mountain. As soon as I came out of the mountains and went down the slope, the rain began to fall. It didn't start out too big, but it slowly got bigger and bigger. Because it's winter, the wind makes people feel cold.

By the time I got up to the war road, the rain was already heavy, and it was like countless copper coins falling to the ground. I hurriedly hid under a big tree to take shelter from the rain. However, the tree was not a shelter from the rain in the first place, and soon my clothes were soaked. My clothes were already soaked, so there was no need to shelter from the rain, so I rode into the rain. However, after crossing the strategic highway, the mountain path is already soaked, and the car will get a lot of mud when you walk on it. I had no choice but to push the cart and walk on the grass on the side of the road.

When I pushed the cart back to the door of Miss Qing's house, I found that the door was locked. The rain was still falling, the cold wind was blowing, and I was shivering from the cold. I had no choice but to push the car to my sister-in-law's house. When she saw that I looked like a chicken in soup, she took out a set of her husband's clothes and asked me to change them. Then, he wrapped my clothes in a plastic bag and handed me an umbrella and told me to go back quickly. I left my bike at her house, and then I went back to Xiuling with an umbrella.

When Liangbao saw me like this, he asked me what was wrong? As soon as I told me about the situation, Liangbao said to me, "The old man in Houpo Village is dead, and I'm afraid they will have to sing." I said, "Isn't it necessary to sing at night?" Liangbao said, "I usually sing at night, but the son of Shui Laoqi runs a restaurant in the county town and has money, so he wants to make the scene bigger." ”

I changed the wide and big clothes that my sister-in-law had changed for me and wrapped them in a plastic bag so that Liangbao could spare time to return them to others. Then, I washed my soaked clothes and roasted them by the fire. Because I thought that I was leaving early tomorrow morning, and I should go to say hello to Sister Qing, I said to Liangbao, "Shall we go to the back slope to watch a play at night?" Liangbao looked outside the house for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that if this rain keeps falling, I won't be able to go, because the mountain road will be very muddy and slippery when it rains." But I wanted to go, so I said, "It's okay, we're wearing umbrellas and rain boots." Liangbao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
