Volume 1 Chapter 4 Before the Flower and Under the Moon
"What's the solution? That's all I have?"
This sentence hit Liu Nanxu's head like a slap on the head. Yes, how can I have that ability? I have no power, no money! Some people are just brute force, but he is still unwilling, so why can't I do what others can do?
Why? Liu Nanxu squatted down heavily with his head in his hands!
"Dangdang, the East China Art Troupe will hold a charity performance in the village tomorrow night, and all villagers are welcome to come and watch. ”
At this time, shouts of welcome to the charity performance were heard on the main road.
"Dad, I'm going to see a benefit performance tomorrow. Xu Qingcheng, who was lying on the sofa, shouted to his father.
"If you want to go, why do you want to inform me? I won't look. Xu Luoding looked at the book in his hand and said without raising it.
"I mean, I might be coming back late, don't call people back before it gets dark like every day!" Xu Qingcheng pouted.
"That's not about you, and it's not about you!" Long Yanzhi said with a plate of melon seeds on the coffee table.
Xu Qingcheng grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said angrily: "You haven't taken care of me yet? Don't let you play with this, don't let you play with that?"
Xu Luoding raised his head and looked at his daughter: "As long as you go home at the specified time, we don't restrict you?"
"Really, then I'll go find Sister Yiyi Qingfeng and invite them to watch the charity performance together!" Xu Qingcheng jumped up and went out with a lunge as if he was afraid that his parents would regret it.
Long Yanzhi shook his head and knocked a melon seed: "This kid!"
Liu Yiyi helped her father sit on the stool and said, "Dad, I have decided, I want to go to work!"
Liu Nanxu looked at her daughter, her lips moved but she didn't speak. He knows his daughter's temper too well, and he generally doesn't say the word "decide", and if he says it, it will be difficult to change!
Xu Luolin said anxiously: "Yiyi, how can you say that? You should focus on your studies now, you know?"
"Mom, I know that I should focus on my studies now. However, that is also subject to conditions. The problem is that the current conditions of our family are not yet met. You have suffered so much for me, I don't want you to suffer so much for me anymore, and now that I have grown up, it should be time for me to repay you. But don't worry, can't I still learn on my own?" Liu Yiyi said tightly, hugging her mother's arm.
Hearing her daughter say this, the two of them were silent, and suddenly they felt so powerless, too pale and powerless!
"Alas, I'm a little tired today, Luo Dong, you talk to your sister for a while, I'll go to bed first. Liu Nanxu felt that the world suddenly became groggy, and he felt that he was suddenly emptied.
Xu Luodong hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, sister, then I will go back first." The child's mother and the child are afraid to wait. ”
"Sister Yiyi, Sister Yiyi, there is a show in the village tomorrow night, let's go watch it together?" Xu Qingcheng said breathlessly, as if he had run a long way.
Liu Yiyi went up and took her hand and asked, "What are you doing, making it like this?"
Xu Qingcheng said: "My dad said let me come out to play, and I came running." Are you going or not? I'm going to inform Qingfeng and the others. ”
Liu Yiyi smiled and said: "Look at you running! Go, why don't you go, you still have to call Qingfeng and the two of them? They should be able to hear the gong propaganda, right?"
Xu Qingcheng pouted and said, "I mean let's watch it together!"
Liu Yiyi said: "Then I'll accompany you, right?"
Seeing the two of them walking out, Xu Luodong stopped the two and said, "Yiyi, you're tired from a day's work, just wash up and rest early, I'm going back anyway, just let Qingcheng go with me, right?"
"Sister Yiyi, go back and rest. I'll just go with my second uncle. Xu Qingcheng followed behind Xu Luodong and waved goodbye to Liu Yiyi, and then added, "I'll come to play with you tomorrow." ”
When the lights were in hand, the village was already overcrowded, and the people from Xujia Village basically came, and even the Liujia Village of Ruowei Village next to it had many people. Before the show officially began, they chatted in groups, talking about this life and how the farm work was.
In summer, lilies, morning glories, and orchids bloom all over the mountain, and some unknown flowers quietly exude a refreshing fragrance in the meadows. Today is the night of the full moon of the fifteenth month, and the round moon has long been hanging on the branches, and when the night is getting deeper and deeper, the earth is white.
Only a gong was heard, and the lights on the small stage in the village suddenly lit up, illuminating the villagers. The host walked on the stage and announced loudly: "The East China Art Troupe's Xujiacun charity performance has officially begun, and now I invite Meng Jie, a singer of the Art Troupe, to bring you a song "Hometown", applause welcome. ”
Listening to the melodious music, the villagers applauded vigorously.
The singing was very beautiful, but Liu Yiyi didn't have the heart to listen to it, she took Xu Qingcheng's hand and stood up and said, "Qingfeng, Qinghe, let's go over there to play, and by the way, we can also enjoy the moon." ”
"Yes, it's the fifteenth moon, it's beautiful. Looking at the big moon in the sky, Xu Qingcheng said praisefully.
The three of them followed Liu Yiyi to a row of guardrails on the edge of the stream, and Xu Qingcheng said again: "Look, there are a lot of beautiful flowers on the mountain? And this side. It's in front of the house and behind the house!"
"Sister Yiyi, when are you going out?" Xu Qingfeng followed Xu Qingcheng's hand and looked at it for a while, and asked sullenly.
Before Liu Yiyi could answer, Xu Qingcheng hurriedly said, "Sister Yiyi, where are you going?"
Looking at Xu Qingcheng, who was talking like a machine gun, Liu Yiyi smiled, "Go to work, don't go to school." ”
After a pause, he said, "Maybe it's just a few days." I had already contacted the third uncle before going to bed last night, and he told me to go early if I wanted to go, because there are a lot of people being recruited now, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a job if I go late. ”
"Then I'll tell us when the day comes, and we'll see you off. Xu Qinghe leaned over the guardrail and looked at the quietly flowing water in the stream.
"Part-time job?Is there no tuition?Sister Yiyi, didn't my uncle borrow money and run so many families to make up enough?" Xu Qingcheng thought for a while and continued: "Why didn't you go to my ......house?
"Qingcheng, my uncle naturally has his reason for not going to your house," Xu Qingfeng interrupted her and said, then glanced at Liu Yiyi and then said: "We still don't have to take care of the affairs of adults, we can't even manage ourselves well now!"
"Let's listen to the play. Liu Yiyi waved her hand and pointed to the Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" that was being staged on the stage not far away.
In the quiet of the night, the moonlight shone down like mercury. The breeze just squeezed out the scorching heat of the day, and it felt very cool. The sound of singing in the distance and the occasional burst of fierce applause are all in harmony. It depicts the endless beauty of the countryside.
The four children, who were on the guardrail by the stream, felt a little dull, and fell into a brief silence as they pondered their own questions.
Liu Yiyi didn't tie her hair today, her silky long hair casually spilled down from her shoulders, her beautiful face looked even more beautiful in the night, her slender and white arms were exposed to the air, a white low-necked short sleeve on her upper body tightly wrapped her chest, and a cream-like ravine loomed, and a pair of sky-blue trousers on her lower body covered with a pair of pink sandals.
The breeze blew, and her long hair flew up gently with the wind, hanging on her pink and seductive lips from time to time, Xu Qingfeng was stupid!
"If only we were all rich. Breaking the heavy silence, Xu Qinghe spoke first.
Liu Yiyi said lightly: "Maybe, money can indeed accomplish a lot of things." But the rich have the life of the rich, and the poor have the happiness of the poor. Maybe our life is still the envy of those rich people!"
He exhaled softly, and then said: "Happiness actually varies from person to person, and some people want to have a lot of money to be happy. And some people just want an ordinary life, that is great happiness! Maybe happiness is not in our imagination, but my happiness is to marry someone I like, do something I like, and have nothing to do with outsiders. ”
It is true that happiness is one's own, and others have no right to interfere and cannot interfere. It just depends on how the individual defines happiness. Most people think that they can do anything when they have money, as the saying goes, "money can make ghosts grind", they can suffer for money, or they can be trapped for money, when they have a lot of money, they feel that they are bitter, they can do what they want to do, do not care about other people's lives or deaths or joys and sorrows, that is their happiness. There are also some people who like ordinary life very much, just want to live an ordinary life, they don't need to have ups and downs, they don't need to toss more, and they never go against the grain, they never tend to be inflammatory, they just want to love what I love, take care of the people around them, I just wish them good health and good life, that is the greatest happiness. Obviously, Liu Yiyi belongs to the latter!
Xu Qingfeng said: "Sister, what you said is very reasonable. Although we don't have money now, we have industrious hands that can create wealth. At least I'm happy now. ”
Liu Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, let's just do our own work." ”
"You have added a new year, and you have to change your mind like time is hard to turn back. I only snuggle up in my dreams, time has passed and never returns,
The past can only be recalled. Recalling the childhood bamboo horse and green plum, the two little guesses followed each other day and night," ......
The sweet singing voice came from the stage, and it was the singer who was covering Teresa Teng's classic song "The Past Can Only Be Recalled".
Xu Qingcheng said: "Let's go listen to the songs, these singers sing quite well today." ”
"Well, good. Let's go. Liu Yiyi also wanted to break this oppressive atmosphere and took the lead to walk to the stage.
Xu Qingfeng pulled Xu Qinghe, who was still leaning on the guardrail: "Let's go." ”
Xu Qinghe turned his head and saw that they were all gone, and hurriedly shouted: "Alas, wait for me!
