Chapter 226: A Smile Blossoms
His face suddenly turned pale, and even An Ruo's eyes on the side were a little colder, and he was indignant about this matter.
The proprietress didn't realize it, turned around and took a box of round colorful bubble gum, and said with a smile to herself: "This girl has grown up since I was a child, and I was greedy for this when I was a child, and I wanted to buy it but had no money, so when I didn't go to school and had a holiday, she would pick some useful Chinese medicinal materials and come to me to exchange sugar for food." ”
"I remember that at that time she was only a head taller than this table," she compared the table and looked at the weather outside, "It was probably such a hot day, in the afternoon, in order to change the candy to eat, I ran all over the mountains, and the result was like carbon." ”
"Hah...... Fortunately, this girl turned white later, and she looked good, if she was still like when she was a child, this girl would probably resent me to death. ”
"No, she's a very good person, how can she resent you, think about that time before, she would laugh out loud!"
Hearing this, the proprietress showed a knowing smile, "Yes, there were dozens of children in this village at that time, and my favorite is Li Yatou, not to mention cute, with a good personality, sensible and filial." ”
"It's just...... Alas......" The proprietress let out a long sigh, as if she was sorry.
After hesitating for a while, she continued: "That year, it must have been three or four years ago, she has never come back since she was asked by her family to follow those wild girls in the village to the big city.
Although the people in the village don't say it on the surface, in fact, everyone knows what those wild girls are doing outside, and they can guess to some extent, Li Yatou followed them, and probably didn't take the right path. ”
"In the past few years, especially in the past one or two years, as Li Yatou went out to the big city, the old Li family has obviously improved. Not to mention the big house that built two or three floors, the two sons below also had gift money, and they both married daughters-in-law, everyone is not stupid, they all know what is going on, it is all because of Li Yatou.
Although the money in the big city is easier to earn than at home, it also costs more, and if you can earn so much in just a few years, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. It's just a pity that Li Yatou, who was born good-looking, could have chosen a good family, and even said that she could marry in the city, but she took the wrong path and practiced herself, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to marry in the future.
I haven't been able to go back home all these years, and most of it is because of this, I am afraid that I will be gossiped or asked, and I really don't know how to answer. ”
It can be seen that the proprietress of the commissary still likes roses, and there are appreciation and regrets for it between the lines, otherwise if you were someone else, the gossip is estimated to be nothing.
After that, on the rose, the shopkeeper talked a lot to Qu Jinyan and An Ruo, and most of them were listening, listening quietly and attentively, without the sense of urgency that they couldn't find a place before.
It was still relatively early to eat in the countryside, and at five o'clock, with the first burst of firecrackers in the village, everyone suddenly knew what was going on, stopped what they were doing, and went to the sound of firecrackers in twos and threes.
As soon as the people playing cards left, the proprietress also closed the commissary, and according to what she said before, she walked towards the village with Qu Jinyan and An Ruo.
The sunset is slanting, the quiet mountain village is covered with a piece of gold, and the occasional chirping of three or two cicadas breaks the silence somewhere, but it is not irritable, but it is still a little warm.
Along the way, most of the houses are located on the side of the road, most of them are bungalows, and there are a few two-story buildings with tiles on the face, which are much better at first glance, and there are not many such houses, only a few families.
Among them, the Li family, which has been completed and moved in, is also one of them. I saw that the three-story house with the same villa is compared with other people's houses, how magnificent it is, and it is no wonder that the two brothers of the Li family have recently gotten married.
From a distance, Qu Jinyan saw that in front of the house, a greenhouse had been set up, and a group of villagers had gathered, and many tables had been placed under the greenhouse, and the villagers had already sat down. Among the crowd, the Li brothers and Li's father greeted each other with smiling faces, and at the same time, it was obvious that they were a little complacent.
Seeing this, Qu Jinyan, who was originally following the proprietress of the commissary, suddenly stopped his pace somehow, and his face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Especially the urn in his hand, which is extremely heavy at the moment.
"Forget it, I'm still not going. He said this.
The shopkeeper turned around, "Don't you have a gift for the Li family?"
"There's a letter to be forwarded, and it looks like I'm going to trouble you. He looked down at the strange box in his hand, "As for the gifts, I didn't say it, because they don't deserve it!"
Under the sunset, the proprietress stood there in a daze, holding the letter handed to her by Qu Jinyan, until the somewhat strange man and woman disappeared from sight, she shook her head: "Li girl, when will you be willing to come back? Don't worry, aunt I won't talk much...... No matter what, you're your aunt's Li girl......"
At the back of the village, there is a natural lake, which is very large, the water surface is crystal clear, it is extremely deep, it is said that people drowned in the early years, this place is rarely visited, it is very quiet.
Approaching September, the maple leaves by the lake have been red for most of the time, I don't know who sets off whom, this beautiful scene is reflected in the water, it seems to be the same color of heaven and earth, there are maple leaves in the water, there are maple leaves on the water, such as a beautiful flower roll, beautiful.
When the wind blows, the red maple leaves ripple on the surface of the lake, like a flat boat, slowly floating. In the distance, in the mountains and forests, there were a few yellow oriole sounds, which were crisp and pleasant, adding a bit of ethereal, making people immersed in this dreamlike situation.
In the heights, a man and a woman are quietly watching all this, which is only pleasing to the eye.
"Won't you send her home?"
"Does she still have a home?"
A rhetorical question, An Ruo was speechless.
In fact, Qu Jinyan's original idea was to send her home as An Ruo said. Even in the midst of impulsiveness, I thought about severely condemning the family in front of Rose, so that they realized their mistakes and felt ashamed of their actions.
However, when he actually walked to the door with the roses, he retreated and changed his mind. If he did, what could he do? What could he change? It would only make things worse and more embarrassing! If it were Rose, she wouldn't agree with him, after all...... She's such a kind girl.
Not long after, on the high ground of the lake, there is a fresh earthen monument. Nearby, facing the maple lake, beautiful, and far away, you can see the village where you were born and raised, and your soul has a place to be!
At this moment, when the setting sun returned to the horizon, he erected the freshly cut wooden tablet in front of the earthen tablet, and the sharp knife was in front of the tablet, and he refused to fall for a long time, and he couldn't help but think of the envelope that Rose left for him.
Dear Mr. Qu Jinyan, Hello!
I am very grateful to have met you before the end of this life, and I am very honored to do so.
You are very good, and at the same time you are a very good person, and the biggest feeling for me is that you are like the warm sun in winter, which will always make people can't help but approach you, which is a good feeling, and it is also where your personality charms.
Even when I was writing this letter, every time I thought of you, it warmed my heart, which is amazing.
Here, I apologize to you for the concealment and deception, and I also know that it was me who was wrong, especially the words you said to me in the police station, in fact, I know that what you said is correct, but I am still obsessed, and I disobey you, quarrel with you, and I am really sorry for the unpleasantness.
I know that if I did something wrong, it would be very capricious to say sorry afterwards, but I can only do that, because when you read this letter, I should have been gone!
My life is probably short in the eyes of others! Although there are regrets, more than that, I am satisfied. Because of me, it should be worth it to let the family live a good life, even if my parents like my brothers more since they were young, but as long as they are happy, it is good.
Speaking of regrets, I have to mention the night I met Sister Ru Zhu. I remember very clearly, the dance she danced was very beautiful and moving, I still remember it vividly, I like it very much, and I am very, very eager to be like Sister Ru Zhu, who can dance so elegantly.
Of course, this life is destined to be unsuccessful, and if there is an afterlife, I want to be able to go to school well, to be able to dance the dance I want to dance, and to live the life I want to live. As you said, look up, be confident, and don't feel so inferior.
At this point, I remembered a very important thing that I haven't told you all about, and you probably don't know my name!
In the future, will you remember that in the long river of years, there has been such a person as me?
If you remember, her name is Li Shenghua!
"Li Shenghua......" he lowered his head and muttered silently, her smiling face came to mind.
"I will remember your ......" After saying that, the sharp knife in his hand no longer hesitated, and engraved the three big characters of Li Shenghua.
At this point, in front of this quiet and unattended lake, there is a lonely tomb, facing the lake and looking at the village where he was born and raised. Just like a beautiful woman, standing in front of the lake, quietly looking at this dreamlike picture.
I stumbled in this life, walked out of this village, and now I can return to this original sky, probably beautiful!
The wind and rain are bitter, the eyes are uncertain, and the smile is full of flowers!
