4. Holding hands that doesn't exist
Xiong Baizhou, who returned home, began to pack his luggage for tomorrow's trip south.
Since there isn't much to carry on its own, an old military bag is enough.
Li Juan walked in, stuffed Xinna's two pairs of shoes in her bag, and checked what was missing in the bag.
Xiong Baizhou looked at the busy Li Juan, and suddenly said, "Mom, you have to pay attention to your body at home and don't be too tired." ”
Li Juan turned her head, the long hours of work made this woman look older than her actual age, she squeezed out a kind smile from the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and continued to tidy up silently.
Xiong Baizhou thought to himself: This is his mother, and I don't know why he could work outside for so long in his previous life, and deliberately didn't go home during the New Year.
At that time, Xiong Baizhou's feelings for his parents still had a paranoid hatred.
So in the end, Xiong Baizhou, who had made money, wanted to take his mother from the countryside to the city, but his mother said that she was unwilling to leave anything, she said that she would stay with Xiong Zhengjun's grave, so that she could feel at ease.
After the death of his mother, Xiong Baizhou suddenly repented, this is because there is a gap between his mother and himself, and he is unwilling to disturb himself anymore.
Thinking of this, even Xiong Baizhou, who was reborn, was like angina.
But fortunately, God gave him another chance, a chance to atone for his sins, and Xiong Baizhou would not let this tragedy happen again in this life.
In the evening, Xiong Baizhou did another thing that surprised the family - he actually began to tutor his younger brother Xiong Baize and his sister Xiong Jiao's homework.
In the previous life, Xiong Baizhou, who knew that he was going to work, hid at home with low self-esteem, and his temper was still very bad, and his younger brothers and sisters were often scolded by him.
Under the kerosene lamp, Xiong Baizhou carefully guided his younger siblings in their homework.
At that time, although electric lights were popular, Li Juan was generally used to lighting kerosene lamps after meals in order to save electricity.
Xiong Jiao is the youngest, and her attention is the least difficult to concentrate, and she often raises her head to stare at Xiong Baizhou when she listens to her homework.
After Xiong Baizhou noticed it, she quickly lowered her head again.
The fate of these two younger siblings in the future is also quite tortuous.
Although Xiong Baize was admitted to high school, he was not admitted to university, and finally followed Xiong Baizhou's engineering team and wandered around to work.
Xiong Jiao was admitted to university and got married after graduation, but her husband had a car accident, and Xiong Jiao lived alone with her children.
Xiong Baizhou was immersed in thoughts.
Xiong Jiao suddenly spoke: "Brother, are you leaving home?"
Xiong Baizhou looked at this young girl, thin, with a little yellowed hair, and his own shadow reflected in his eyes.
Xiong Baizhou was a little distressed, but said calmly: "Brother go and make money, buy meat for you to eat, and buy new clothes to wear." ”
Outside the door was a bright moonlight, Xiong Baizhou finished instructing his younger siblings in their homework, breathed in the night air, pushed open the wooden door and walked in the countryside.
With the sound of dogs barking and frogs barking in his ears, Xiong Baizhou only felt that life was very good.
It was a walk, without any purpose, but the ghost sent the gods, Xiong Baizhou came to Zhou Shujun's door.
The village is small and everyone knows each other where they live.
But Xiong Baizhou was also slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Shujun's home in front of him, probably because he had been thinking about why Zhou Shujun was worried about himself just now.
In the previous life, Xiong Baizhou and Zhou Shujun had no communication at all, and in the end, there was no contact between the two sides of the world, but I didn't expect that when he went south to work, Zhou Shujun, who only focused on studying, would be distracted and concerned about his fate.
It's a pity that Xiong Baizhou didn't know about this before, and when he met his old classmates many years later, Zhang Zijian, who knew about it, may have forgotten about it······
Just as he was thinking, a figure appeared.
At that time, there were no computers or mobile phones, and the young people's eyesight was very good, and Xiong Baizhou could see that it was Zhou Shujun when he looked at it.
Xiong Baizhou, who was just walking, wanted to turn around and leave, but by mistake he froze.
Zhou Shujun also saw a figure in front of him, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Xiong Baizhou, and he breathed a sigh of "exhalation", and it seemed that he was also frightened.
Zhou Shujun was holding a big bag of millet, Xiong Baizhou knew that it was going to be dried tomorrow, and the children in the countryside were in charge early, and they had to help the family with farm work after reading.
Zhou Shujun was taken aback, blushing a little, and was about to ask.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Baizhou took the lead and asked in advance, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Shujun was choked, this was her door, but asked her what she was doing here.
This man really knows what to say.
Zhou Shujun didn't answer, and her mind was a little flustered.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Baizhou spoke again: "Give me the millet, and I'll help you get it." ”
Zhou Shujun said a little hurriedly: "It's okay, I can move it, I don't need to ······"
But she underestimated Xiong Baizhou's face, or rather, this is not a young man's face at all.
Xiong Baizhou actually grabbed the bag of millet from Zhou Shujun's hand and carried it on his shoulder.
In the process of robbing, Xiong Baizhou accidentally touched Zhou Shujun's hand and neck.
Well, it's soft.
Xiong Baizhou thought in his heart.
The two walked a few steps like this, Zhou Shujun is a very smart girl, she was robbed of the initiative twice, and this time she had to hold it firmly.
She asked, "What are you doing at my door?"
Under the moonlight, Zhou Shujun's clear and beautiful face suddenly became amorous.
Xiong Baizhou originally wanted to say: "I want to ask you why you are asking about my situation." “
As a result, as soon as the words came out, it became
"I want to see your ······"
Suddenly, there was no sound between the two, only the moonlight sprinkled on the potholed road, and it seemed that Xia Cicada was quietly hiding.
A little smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Shujun's mouth, but he still didn't speak, and the two of them seemed to be enjoying the current atmosphere.
Not far from the site where the millet is dried, there are many villagers talking and a little light.
This graceful atmosphere was broken.
Zhou Shujun combed her hair, exhaled softly, and then asked, "Are you going out to work?"
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow. “
"Oh. “
The girl's face did not change, but her eyes were not so vivid.
When he arrived at the valley, Xiong Baizhou poured out the millet and accompanied Zhou Shujun back.
On the way, Zhou Shujun asked softly, "Where are you going to work?" ”
Xiong Baizhou did not answer this question, but said, "I will come back." ”
Zhou Shujun thought she had heard it wrong, and turned her face to look at Xiong Baizhou.
Xiong Baizhou's voice was not loud, but it was very firm: "I will come back to study." ”
Like a promise, like a vow.
The atmosphere gradually rose again, and this time even the moon was quietly hidden in the clouds.
The corners of Zhou Shujun's mouth became vivid again, and she said: "Do you remember, you helped me fight when I was in elementary school." ”
Xiong Baizhou thought about it carefully, but still didn't think about it.
"Where do I remember the events of decades ago. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a crack of laughter rang out.
"How old are you, it's still decades ago, how did I not know you were so flamboyant. “
After Zhou Shujun finished speaking, she was also a little embarrassed, it was like a quarrel between lovers.
Rural people get married very early, Zhou Shujun and Xiong Baizhou are the same age, they are both 16 this year, and girls in rural areas are much more precocious, and some of them are already married at this age.
The ambiguity of the fog is not that I don't understand.
Zhou Shujun's face was a little red, and said: "It was still elementary school, I was pushed and fell to the ground, you went up to help them all run away, this was a very small thing, but I remember it very clearly." “
Xiong Baizhou thought to himself, it turns out that there is this scene where the hero saves the beauty.
However, with Xiong Baizhou's emotional intelligence at that time, it is likely that it was not just to save the United States, but to fight with his rival.
But the reason for this kind of spoiling scenery will naturally not be explained by Xiong Baizhou.
"Whoever dares to bully you, I will not allow it. “
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So have you been protecting me until now?"
Xiong Baizhou listened to it and knew the possible twist of this sentence - then why did you still leave.
In order not to let this sentence appear, Xiong Baizhou said directly: "I will come back to high school in three years and take the university entrance examination with you." ”
Zhou Shujun lowered her head embarrassedly.
Suddenly she asked, "What impressed me the most with you?"
Xiong Baizhou listened, and Zhou Shujun not only had good grades, but also was a girl with romantic feelings in her bones.
This question was thrown at any boy at that time, and no one could answer satisfactorily.
Even, some people can't answer.
But, this is Xiong Baizhou.
Xiong Baizhou's face was serious, and he replied: "Once I saw that you were wearing a red dress, which was more beautiful than the bride's marriage, and I remembered it at that time. ”
In fact, Xiong Baizhou didn't even know if Zhou Shujun had a red skirt, but many of the colorful clothes of rural people at that time were red, bright and festive.
Sure enough, Xiong Baizhou guessed correctly.
Zhou Shujun is really shy, that hint of the bride.
She didn't expect this person to be so cheeky and so funny.
She wanted to snatch the bag and go home, but the bag containing the grain was still in Xiong Baizhou's hand.
But I don't know if it was because of panic or shyness, Zhou Shujun caught the wrong one, and grabbed Xiong Baizhou's hand.
But if he wanted to let go, it was too late, because Xiong Baizhou had already held it with his backhand.
Zhou Shujun twitched a few times, but found that he didn't twitch, and looked at Xiong Baizhou shyly and angrily.
Xiong Baizhou smiled and groaned, and didn't explain much, so he sent Zhou Shujun all the way to her door.
Zhou Shujun lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at Xiong Baizhou at all, and stumbled and ran home.
When he was about to enter the door, Xiong Baizhou's voice came from behind him again
"I'll be back in three years. ”
Zhou Shujun whispered "um".
She didn't stop until she ran home, her heart was still pounding, and her hands were shaking.
Xiong Baizhou was outside the door, just smiling.
Holding hands does not exist in the first place, and history is quietly changing.
