The two thanked Aunt Zou for the sweet potatoes, and Huang Youwei naturally didn't take Aunt Zou's muddy sweet potatoes, not because she was afraid of getting dirty, but because she felt ashamed.

However, her eloquence naturally couldn't resist the skillful peasant woman, and she asked Zhong Yue for help.

Zhong Yue happily accepted, and said that he would go to Aunt Zou's field another day to dig a few by himself to taste the taste.

Huang Youwei frowned.

"In our place, although some people don't have much knowledge, they are probably good-hearted, so it's normal for this one to send some food and that one to send more sweet potatoes, so don't feel embarrassed. ”

Huang Youwei pursed her lips lightly and said, "I still don't think it's good." She frowned a little awkwardly, her little hands twisting the corners of the white velvet coat. In Zhong Yue's impression, Huang Youwei is very good at protecting herself, and the way she protects herself is to keep herself cold, the kind of coldness that although she is communicating with you, you can't feel the fireworks at all, but seeing her like this makes Zhong Yue stunned.

"Oh? Why?"

"You don't have to worry, you received other people's sweet potatoes, and she turned back to ask you to do things, so what should I do? I look at that Aunt Zou, I really want you to ......"

"People want to save face. They are all villagers in the township, and my first year's tuition was still put together in the township, and I will naturally help if it is not too much, so you don't have to worry about this. "Zhong Yue is not a white-eyed wolf, the grace of dripping water can't be reciprocated, and it is still feasible to return the favor with kindness.

Although the stele at home was brought back after a series of turmoil, Zhong Yue still did not regret his original decision.

At night, there were only two left, Zhong Yue and Huang Youwei. Zhang Laifu went to the township to eat the banquet for the elderly, Zhong Yue is no longer a four or five-year-old child, naturally it is impossible for Zhang Laifu to take him to eat, originally the leader of the township said to let him go over to accompany the banquet, and by the way, he will talk about the primary school library, since Zhong Yue pushed the dinner, he naturally did not go.

It doesn't cost a lot of money to donate a library. Tens of thousands of yuan must be enough, and it can't be a library, and it is enough for children to read some literature and art books.

There was firewood outside the yard, the weather was not very cold, but after all, it was winter, and at night, Huang Youwei, who was on a wooden chair on the seventh side, held her chin, looked at the burning fire, and said, "Won't the sweet potatoes burn to ashes?"

"No, and the sweet potatoes baked like this are delicious. ”

Huang Youwei looked very expectant, and rubbed her two little hands.

Zhong Yue sat by the fire and wrote in a text message: I am baking sweet potatoes with her, and we may ...... at night He called here, deleted the message again, and put the phone in his pocket.

"By the way, why don't you show me the painting you drew in the afternoon?"

Zhong Yue said: "I haven't painted it yet, I have to dye it three alum and nine dye, and it will take at least a week." ”

"It's been so long. Huang Youwei's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

"That's right, it's very troublesome to dye three alum and nine dyeing, and you have to put on thin glue alum water. "Although the ancient method is troublesome, on the other hand, those thousand-year-old paintings handed down from the Sui and Tang dynasties, the color is still the same, that is, it is repeatedly soaked in alum water and rendered with paint.

"Hmm. Huang Youwei nodded.

She looked up, and the crescent moon was almost nowhere to be seen, giving the stars a world to show. The starry sky is dotted in the sky, and the starry sky, which is difficult to see in big cities, is on the side of Xiaohe Mountain, revealing its vast and brilliant appearance.

Huang Youwei, who has fireworks, makes people feel that she is extraordinary.

Zhong Yue tried not to mention her physical affairs, "When I was a child, it was also here, during the Chinese New Year, the family celebrated the New Year happily. I started to try to bake sweet potatoes by the campfire, but I was so crazy that I forgot that there were sweet potatoes in the fire, and I didn't think that there were still sweet potatoes roasted when I got up the next day. Peel off the extinguished charcoal fire, like a treasure hunt, and use small bamboo branches to find the sweet potatoes that were randomly thrown last night.

You can understand the feeling of being full of anticipation in the midst of worry, right? And then sent down the sweet potato that was burned black on the outside, but there was a faint residual temperature, and at that moment, it was simply full of happiness. ”

Huang Youwei listened, her eyes were full of firelight, full of anticipation.

Naturally, dinner can't be all sweet potatoes, Zhong Yue didn't want to cook, so he ordered a table of dishes and sent it here. If you don't know the owner of the hotel, so far away, or in the countryside, no one else wants to make this business.

"Let's go in and eat first, the sweet potatoes will be better in a while. ”

Huang Youwei shook her head, "I don't want to eat, I just want to eat sweet potatoes." As he spoke, he sighed and blew his little hands that were frozen cold.

Zhong Yue squinted, entered the house, took a coat and a bottle of canned hot milk, and handed it to her, "It's cold outside, it's hot." ”

"Brother Yue, can you sit here and talk to me?"

"Haven't I been talking to you?"

Huang Youwei glanced at one side of the bench.

"This ......"

Huang Youwei said with a smile: "Sister Gu rented you to me, before eight o'clock tomorrow, Brother Yue will be mine." ”

Zhong Yue sat on the bench and said with a wry smile: "She is generous. ”

Huang Youwei held milk in her hand and looked up at the starry sky, "When I was a child, my brother also loved to write calligraphy, I was sick and didn't like to take medicine, so he accompanied me to take medicine, and then my stomach was bad."

I clamored to go to school, but my grandfather didn't let me, he took me to the school secretly, and later, because I was useless when I climbed through the window, I fell and broke my head, and my grandfather almost beat him to death, but he didn't cry, and I never went to school again, because I was afraid that my grandfather would beat him again. ”

Zhong Yue quietly acted as a listener.

In this world, there are people whose circle is small, so small that it can only accommodate one person, and once you enter his circle, you are all he has.

"Once, when he died, he bought two buckets for the whole family. I wanted to eat it, but my father said that greasy things were not good for my health, and he was stunned to accompany me to drink white porridge, that time, just like the sweet potatoes you ate when you were a child, I felt that this was the best white porridge in the world. ”

"His calligraphy was taught by my grandfather's old friend, when I was a child, I was bored at home, so I learned the piano, he came back from school every day, and practiced calligraphy with me on the side, and later I learned that when I fell asleep, he wrote his homework until he graduated from junior high school. ”

Huang Youwei's eyes were like two falling meteors, very clean and pure.

This was the most Zhong Yue had ever heard her say, and he didn't want to interrupt her. It's not that I don't want to, it's unbearable.

Later, my brother died. The funny thing is that I didn't know until two years later, and I don't even know where he died. My parents were also sent abroad by my grandfather. At that time, I thought that if they didn't want me anymore, I would be stronger, so I never needed help. ”

"Maybe Brother Yue, you are too similar to him, so I just talked to you in the Youth Palace. ”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Your brother called you or something?"

Huang Youwei's face was a little shy, "Xiaowei." But many times he called me a little lazy pig, because I was afraid of the cold at that time, so even when I woke up, I liked to hide under the covers. He was always shouting outside the window, the little lazy pig got up. ”

"He really hurts you. ”

Huang Youwei didn't seem to want to take Zhong Yue's words, looked at the sparks, and asked, "Isn't it okay?"

"No, don't look at the fire is out, the temperature inside is still very high. Now that the sweet potatoes are taken out, the innermost and sweetest part is still raw. ”

"That's ......"

"Why don't you go in and get something to eat when you're hungry?"

Huang Youwei shook her head, "Sister Qingyu doesn't look like a big star, in fact, she works harder." Brother Yue, if only you could help her. ”

"Help her? what? There is a director who wants to uncover her?"

Huang Youwei shook her head and said: "Cao's has been signing her, although the contract has expired, it stands to reason that if it is not renewed, Sister Qingyu would have been able to build her own studio a long time ago, a big star like her, her own studio is more free and convenient, but Cao's is a giant in the film industry, and Sister Qingyu is very popular now, so she naturally doesn't want to let go." ”

"I'll take a look when I get a chance. Zhong Yue didn't dare to boast about Haikou. After all, he is not a savior, and it is impossible for everyone to reach out and pull a handful, but he can't pull it.

Huang Youwei closed her eyes and inhaled, "I haven't felt the smell of the New Year for a long time." The group of naughty people in Heshan Primary School, Brother Yue, you don't know, they are really naughty. ”

"And how did you submit them?"

Huang Youwei's eyes showed a sly gaze, "I used to be unbehaved, but my brother gave me candy, and I was obedient." They didn't eat my sugar. ”

"Haha, you're a bribe. ”

Huang Youwei said, "They really work hard, and they are much smarter than me." It's just that there are too few teachers in the school, one teacher is in charge of four or five subjects, and now it is much better, and there are several more teachers. ”

"You, rural primary school, where did you get so many teaching resources?"

"That must not be done to them. ”

Zhong Yue leaned back in his chair, the cold wind blew gently, and after the bonfire went out automatically, it became a little deserted.

Huang Youwei stared at the big peach tree behind the wooden chair.

"Why is this peach tree bigger than the others?"

Zhong Yue said: "This is a wild peach that my father found from the mountain. In this peach forest, it is the oldest. In the spring of March, the peach blossoms on the tree were like a cotton cloud, and this wooden chair was still made by my father. Sitting here, if it is the twilight of spring, the wind blows, just like the peach blossom rain, full of good spring. ”

"That could be really beautiful. Huang Youwei looked up.

A headlight suddenly drove from the end of the gravel road.

The driver of the drive was inhumane with his high beams on, and both of them covered their eyes with their hands.

Huang Youwei said: "Brother Yue, I have to go." ”

"Sweet Potato ......"

Huang Youwei smiled: "I'll dig up the treasure tomorrow morning." ”

"Well, good. Zhong Yue smiled and accompanied Huang Youwei to the car.

Huang Sanli got out of the car, walked to the side with Zhong Yue, and said, "Zhong Yue, thank you for giving Youwei a happy Spring Festival." After so many years, since her brother's death, Youwei has never celebrated holidays, and finally ...... It got its wish. ”

Zhong Yue saw the tears flashing in Huang Sanli's cloudy eyes, the head snake sitting with a golden knife in front of the Guandi Temple back then, he didn't expect that he also had an iron-clad and tender side, "The third master is polite." ”

"Youwei and I went back first, and we'll visit another day. ”

"Hmm. ”

Huang Sanli patted Zhong Yue on the shoulder, turned around and got into the car.

The car drove away.

Zhong Yue sat on the bench and looked at the spark alone for a long time.
