Cold Winter (XI) (1)
Full Moon's home was rarely lively, and several young figures were in and out of her courtyard.
For more than a decade since Xigui's death, this courtyard has been silently squatting on the northeast corner of the village. After a long time of wind and rain, cold and summer, he squatted silently in a corner, so silent that people seemed to forget the existence of the owner of the courtyard. Only when I encounter a full moon or a bouncing pillar at the intersection of streets and alleys, I suddenly think of Xigui and the courtyard that Xigui has painstakingly run. Now, this courtyard, which has been silent for many years, once again comes with the sound of laughter and noise, which is extremely eye-catching and dazzling on the cold winter evening in the mountain village.
Technician Qin is about to leave Xinghua Village and go home for the New Year. Moreover, this time I left, I may not come back for a long time. The winter management and production of the apricot forest has ended, although it cannot be said that it has been successfully completed, but the large apricot forest belonging to the centralized management can be said to have been completed very smoothly. How effective the management is, and whether it can be as expected and encouraged by the xylophone, can only be verified in May or June of this year. All those who believe in xylophones, all those who are willing to risk not even being able to survive the tree to participate in centralized management, are polishing their eyes and waiting to see. Technician Qin completed his task in Xinghua Village and hurried back to the city to reunite with his family. He decided to leave Xinghua Village in the past two days.
This news was provided by Zhu'er to the full moon. The full moon had already predicted that Technician Qin would be returning to the city in the next few days. After all, at the end of the year, who doesn't want to rush back to reunite with their families. She asked Zhu'er to pay attention to the movements of Technician Qin. As soon as you have the intention of leaving, you will come back immediately to inform her. She wanted to give Technician Qin a grand reception to repay him for his help to her family, especially Zhu'er. This morning, Zhu'er ran back and said that Technician Qin was leaving, just in the past two days. Full Moon immediately called Zhu'er to spread the word and invited Technician Qin to have a meal at home tonight. She herself was busy killing chickens, mixing noodles, and picking vegetables.
At noon, Zhu'er came back and said that Technician Qin didn't ask her to be busy, and he only ate at Xylophone's house.
Full Moon was anxious, saying that the baby cub had no hair on her mouth and couldn't handle things firmly, so I'd better invite it. After that, he went to the west courtyard of the xylophone house alone.
Afterwards, Full Moon explained many times that she had nothing to do with Technician Qin, and just went to invite him to her home for dinner. Besides, even if she and Technician Qin had something inexplicable that day, they wouldn't be in broad daylight. Because of the lack of on-site witnesses, such a defense pales in comparison. The villagers would rather raise their interest and listen to the chiseled words of the sour jujube woman. Coupled with the accurate time she mastered, as well as the special identities of the two, it can't help but arouse the speculation and imagination of others. The full moon's justification was marked with a series of eye-catching question marks.
According to Full Moon, when she arrived in the west courtyard where the piano technician lived, he happened to be alone in the house, and he was packing up his things unhurriedly. Full Moon told him about his plans and asked him to go to her house for a meal tonight. Technician Qin shirked and said, don't be busy, I'll eat here, the public has a food subsidy, so you don't have to break the bank. The tone is firm, the attitude is resolute, and there seems to be no room for negotiation. Full Moon felt a wave of grievance, and tears covered her eyes. She begged, I don't have anything to eat at home, it's just coarse tea and light rice, as long as you go and sit, even if you just take a bite, forget my mind. Technician Qin still refused to agree. He also comforted her softly, saying that it was not because you had anything good to eat at home, but that your life at home was not easy, and you could have a good year if you kept some things. I have received my heart, and when the days are free, you will not ask me to go, and I will have to rely on it to eat. This sentence hit the sad place of the full moon, and the tears finally couldn't help but flow out of the eye sockets. She choked up and said, because life is not good, the people in the village never take my family seriously, there are bullies, and there are jokes. Only you treat my mother and wife as human beings, you are a good benefactor of my family. Why, have you always disliked it in your heart, why can't you give me a chance to repay it. So saying, she whimpered and cried. Technician Qin immediately panicked and said don't cry, don't cry, that's not what I meant. As he spoke, he took a towel and handed it over. The full moon grabbed the towel and said, in the past few days that you have come, how many grievances have you suffered and how much thought you have spent to help my family, I am like a mirror in my heart. I am a widow's family, who wants to take care of it? Only you are kind and kind, and you don't say anything after helping Zhu'er, but you are still willing to listen to my heart and relieve my boring thoughts. My full moon remembers you in my heart. How can I repay such a great kindness. Technician Qin was in a hurry by the full moon, and his face was red. He hurriedly broke free of Full Moon's hand, and said repeatedly, Don't be like this, don't do this, I'll go, I'll go with the babies in the technical team, and I want to drink. As soon as Full Moon heard that he agreed, she was relieved. She smiled embarrassedly, wiped away her tears, and said You must go, and left the west courtyard easily. From admission to discharge, that is, in a moment's time, what other unsightly things can happen. Full Moon also said that when she left the West Courtyard and passed by the sour jujube house, the sour jujube lady was indeed standing in front of her house, and the two black thief eyes poked at her, and a heavy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Such hurtful rumors are probably done by this mother-in-law, and there will be no second person.
