After Jing'er and Ye'er graduated from junior high school, they returned to the village with a bedroll.

Originally, they could have gone to high school and continued their studies in the county middle school. They have always done well in their studies and are always at the top of their class. Even in the whole grade, it is also ranked in the top half. However, due to the limitations of the size and teaching capacity of the school, the county middle school will issue a certain amount of enrollment quota to each commune every year. Each commune middle school is responsible for giving priority to those students who have excellent character and academic performance to the next higher school. Jing'er and Ye'er were insidiously classified as alternative by the school, missing out on the opportunity to continue their studies. This kind of ending is directly related to the sour apricot big middle school last year. It can be said that it was the old and serious sour apricot, in an extremely rare pleasure that could go crazy, and buried the good future of the two baby cubs.

It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Or find the school and ask, saying that my baby can't meet the standards of high school. There will definitely be a lot of reasons for the school to shut your mouth, so that you can only eat coptis and swallow it in your stomach.

At the beginning, Sour Xing had planned to stuff Ye'er into the village school as soon as she graduated. However, Mr. Hu unexpectedly returned to school, and his plan fell through. With Teacher Hu alone in the school, it is enough. He would never take the risk of being poked in the back of the back by the villagers, and squeeze Ye'er into it. I can only save it for the opportunity to implement my ideas later.

As soon as the two graduated, they were assigned to the production team and participated in the team's agricultural production. After more than a year of labor training, the two have changed a lot.

Ye Er became more and more beautiful, and there were a pair of big watery eyes embedded in her red face. Labor made her remove her delicateness, and she became more and more healthy and strong, and showed a steady, quiet and supple character everywhere. Although she has the shadow of the sour apricot spleen characteristics, she is more of a sour apricot woman's virtuous and generous character.

Everyone praised Ye'er, saying that she would definitely find a good family outside the mountain, and she would not succumb to this poor mountain village for a lifetime. The two of them also kept their eyes firmly on the people outside the mountain. I took the time to ask someone near the commune to see if there was a suitable person.

Jing'er has become a muscular young man. In addition to being taller than Maosheng and a strong body, he completely adheres to all Maosheng's temperament. Honest and kind-hearted, clumsy in words and diligent in his hands and feet, there is not even a shadow of xylophone.

Maosheng saw that Jing'er had grown up, and he couldn't stop talking when he saw Tian'er. He looked forward to Jing'er marrying a daughter-in-law as soon as possible so that he could hug his grandson early. Maosheng often blows the wind in the ear of the xylophone, and asks her to pay more attention to the girls in the village. If you see it, you will ask someone to say kiss. The xylophone replied, it's still early, what's the hurry. Actually, she also has this meaning in her heart. It's just that Jing'er is still young, and she is not even the legal age for marriage. Even if it is decided, it will not be recorded as unmarried.

However, xylophone made a mistake with self-righteousness.

The poverty of the mountain village makes every family with a girl focus on the people outside the mountain. No one would be so stupid as to leave their own flesh and blood in a hole of poverty and suffer from sin. The fertile land and wealthy families of the plains outside the mountains are full of temptations, and they torment their minds all day long. Marry a girl and go outside the mountain, this is the consensus of the villagers. Moreover, the girl in the village, who was just old enough to choose her age, also ran out of the mountain vigorously, lest the "poverty" in the mountain drag her to death in this sparsely populated ravine and ravine. Even the sixteen- and seventeen-year-old half-grown daughters have long been thinking in their hearts about where they should go to settle outside the mountain. And the girl outside the mountain didn't even have the courage to take a look at Xinghua Village. The so-called first strike is strong, if you don't occupy it first, you can only fight empty-handed in the end.

Xylophone's idea is extremely stupid and naïve, which makes Jing'er miss some great opportunities to choose a mate in vain.

Maosheng's carefully prepared Westinghouse for Jing'er has survived two years in silence, and the candidate for Jing'er's object is still unfounded.

This is not to blame for Jing'er herself. It should be said that Jing'er's appearance is outstanding among her peers. The point is that the poverty of Xinghua Village dragged him down. No one has ever come to the door to propose marriage, and no one has come to inquire about Jing'er's request plan. They threw all their energy out of the mountain. For the people in this village, they don't even have the idea of a joint family.

Although Jing'er is not very old, she can't get to the point where she can't marry a daughter-in-law and beat a bachelor. However, Maosheng's heart is narrow. Once I got my mind and had such an idea, all my thoughts were focused on it all day long. He saw that Tian'er was looking forward to someone coming to the door to propose, but it was difficult to fulfill his wishes, and there was no movement.

Over the past few years, the joy and anticipation that Maosheng had accumulated began to erode in the flowing days and the thickening and darkening beard on Jing'er's lips. His temper grew agitated. There seemed to be a nameless fire in his chest, always tearing his heart and lungs. He changed his habit of caring for calves in the past, and often found fault with Zhong'er and Xingzi to vent his anger. It's either that Zhong'er is lazy and doesn't know how to find a job to do, or that he scolds Xingzi for hanging a wooden face all day long, and he doesn't look happy.

Apricot is a clever cub. Although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, his eyes turn faster than anyone else. Since the death of his grandmother, he has lived with Maosheng and others, and he has become well-behaved. Seeing that Tian'er revolves around Maosheng, the title is also different from others. According to the seniority, he wants to call Maosheng the uncle and the xylophone the eldest mother. He didn't call it that, but omitted the word "big" in front, and simply called Maosheng as his lord and xylophone as his mother. Such a title is invisibly close and warm. Xylophone likes him and often praises him. Maosheng, who is making trouble, is not. Unconsciously, he always separated him from his own cubs a little bit of kinship and estrangement. Therefore, seeing Maosheng, who is worried about everything, is an eyesore when he glimpses Xingzi and Zhong'er. made the two of them hide from the plague all day long, and they didn't dare to get too close to him. Even, as soon as they saw him, the two of them hid as much as they could, escaping from his sight. Let him be out of sight and out of mind.

Mao Sheng, who was so dizzy that he was in trouble, even seemed to not let go of domestic animals such as chickens, dogs, geese, ducks, etc. He either thought the brutes were chattering endlessly, or they were pulling and peeing everywhere at any time and place. As a result, the sound of beating chickens and scolding dogs was often heard in the courtyard. Only for Jing'er, his face was full of shame and love. He always peeks at Jing'er's face. Hush the cold and ask for warmth, comfort the lack of thanks, and look flattering.

Unconsciously, he gradually contracted the problem of sighing. The sigh is from light to heavy, stretching out from the mouth and nasal cavity, long, light, and resonant with a great sense of music. Once this sigh is heard, some people will suspect that Mao Sheng must have a good voice that can sing beautiful tunes, but he is unwilling to show his talents. Because no one had ever heard him sing any tunes, including xylophones.

Zhong'er and Xingzi think so.

They were both willing to listen to Maosheng's sighs. Whether they were eating or working, whenever they heard Shigeru's sigh, they would stop their chopsticks or work and carefully observe his mouth, wondering how he could make this sigh so pleasant. The two of them also secretly practiced countless times in secret. But compared with Maosheng's, the difference in voice and color is more than 108,000 miles.

So much so that one day, the two of them waited for most of the day after lunch, and it was easy to hear Maosheng's long voice, so they ran to the school with unfinished thinking.

On the way, Xingzi also said that it would be nice if the master sighed endlessly, it was really good.

Zhong Er felt the same way, so he nodded vigorously.

Who knows, in order to wait for that sigh, the two of them actually missed the time to go to school. When the two of them ran to the school in a panic, the class bell had just struck. The two wanted to sneak into their seats while Teacher Hu was not paying attention. was caught by Mr. Hu quickly, and was ordered to stand in front of the blackboard to explain the reason for being late.

At first, the two didn't say anything. Later, I was forced by Mr. Hu to confess this matter, but it was not convincing.

Teacher Hu said, you two don't pretend to fool the teacher anymore. Just to hear a sigh, I delayed going to school, who would believe such nonsense. Let's confess it, what kind of trouble have you done?

Zhong'er and Xingzi were so anxious that they were sweating profusely and swore that it was all the truth. Otherwise, the teacher will go to my house to check on my father to see if my father sighs a lot, and whether the sigh is good or not. caused the students in the classroom to burst into laughter, and they all said, you two learn it, ask the teacher and classmates to listen to it, and verify whether it is worth listening. The two of them immediately lowered their heads in shame, and said repeatedly, we can't learn anything, it's too difficult.

Later, when Mr. Hu saw the xylophone, he told them about their late arrival by the way. Teacher Hu also said with a smile, is Brother Maosheng's sigh really so good, he must have a good voice. When you wait, ask him to sing a song, and I will accompany him with an accordion, and the effect must be good. made the xylophone cry and laugh, and said that you also learned to joke when you did, and you also made honest jokes.

When she returned home, she told what Teacher Hu said as a joke and teased his careful eyes. provoked Mao Sheng to settle accounts with the two cubs immediately, and scolded that as the saying goes, family affairs should not be publicized. These two bastards are all peddlers. If you don't teach a lesson, you will dare to shake off all the at home on the street another day, and make the villagers laugh.

Xylophone quickly suppressed his laughter, not daring to add fuel to the fire and make him angry.
