The little old man's actions and words seemed to be an understatement, but in Zhou Qingli's eyes, his extremely contemptuous actions and words really made Zhou Qingli angry, he took two deep breaths before calming down a little, and then said seriously, "Don't sell it, say it quickly!"

The little old man looked at Zhou Qingbari's angry appearance, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, extremely proud, and waited for Zhou Qingli to roll his eyes before slowly speaking: "Speaking of this village, it has a long history, there is no one for 1,800 years, that is not down, I don't know which dynasty it is! Anyway, I came forty years ago, when I was less than twenty years old, New China has just been founded, everyone is working hard to be able to eat a full meal......" The little old man did not beat around the bush, and directly began to tell his story. 【，

The old man's name is Shen Lianming, his ancestral home is Shandong, he left his hometown all the way south during the Anti-Japanese War, and traveled all over the country, after the war, he chose this small village called Kujing Village on the outskirts of Nanjing, the main reason is that no one knows him here. The collective of the village accepted him, and he, together with the rest of the village's laborers, took up a hoe and supported himself with his labor.

Dry well village, as the name suggests, is that there is a well in the village, that is, the well behind the village, but although it is called the dry well, but it is not a real dry well, when Shen Lianming came to the dry well village, the dry well is full of well water every day, the well water is clear and sweet, supplying the water of the whole village, and even from time to time people from neighboring villages come to borrow water, saying that this water drinks people are very energetic, and can cure diseases and save people. The people of Kujing Village are also willing to share it with others, saying that they have borrowed it, of course, they have never asked the family to pay it back, and they have not paid it back. At that time, there happened to be an ownerless empty house near the dry well, although it had been abandoned for many years and was slightly dilapidated, but it was a good place to live for a helpless stranger like Shen Lianming.

Because of the reason that he lives near the dry well, whenever a villager or a foreigner comes to fetch water, Shen Lianming will always enthusiastically go up to help, especially when he meets a woman or an old man, he will often help carry the water home directly. Over time, he established a good image in this vicinity, and thus met a person in the village called Rijiu Shengqing, which was fulfilled in Shen Lianming and Xiaofang, but it was destined to be a relationship that was not blessed.

At that time, the entire Kujing Village and the people of Shili and Eight Townships had a good image of this young foreigner surnamed Shen, but you can't make everyone like you, so there is always a group of people who don't look at you right. God is fair in this regard, but Xiaofang's father is one of these people, and he is the one with the toughest attitude, he naturally will not agree to the girl in the village marrying this lander who has nothing, let alone his own daughter.

"At that time, I was going to reason with her father, anyway, the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and I couldn't tolerate her not agreeing!" the old man lowered his head and said with great sadness, "At that time, I couldn't hold her, so I left her, who knows, this is goodbye!" The old man sighed and continued to tell his story.

Unable to persuade Xiaofang, Shen Lianming had no choice but to follow her home, he brought some of the money he had saved through all these years of hard work, and he was extremely nervous along the way, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Xiaofang's family lives at the entrance of the village, not far away, but Shen Lianming is as difficult as if he has walked for a century. When they finally arrived at the door of Xiaofang's house, Xiaofang's father had just brought back a hoe full of dirt from the farmland. Xiao Fang was pulled home, and Shen Lianming was blocked out of the door, of course, this was also what he expected.

He sat cross-legged outside Xiaofang's house, looking at the portrait of the door god with angry eyebrows on the door, he was extremely anxious, he hoped that Xiaofang's family would agree to his marriage with her for the sake of the child in her womb, and at the same time, he was afraid that she would be embarrassed by her father, and he was even more worried that if he really married Xiaofang, what would he use to support her and give her a good life? Shen Lianming was conflicted in his heart, and at the same time he was distracted, he sat like this, regardless of the various eyes and remarks of passers-by, and sat from morning to dusk. But the door remained closed, and there was not even any movement. He couldn't sit still, he got up and paced back and forth, trying to rush into the room to take a look, but he couldn't muster up the courage.

The door creaked open, and Fang's grandmother walked out of the house. This old man is very familiar with Shen Lianming, putting aside the relationship between her and Xiaofang for the time being, as far as she is concerned, she is extremely optimistic about this young man who often helps her dive and is polite, so she always has a warm smile on her face every time she meets, even if it is in the field today.

After seeing Xiaofang's grandmother, Shen Lianming forced out a smile, because he had something in his heart, so he smiled ugly. He anxiously asked his grandmother about Xiaofang's situation. Grandma told him with a smile that Xiao Fang's father already knew that Xiao Fang was pregnant, and although he was very angry, he would definitely reconsider the matter between Xiao Fang and Shen Lianming. She told Shen Lianming not to worry too much, saying that tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention people, her old man will also try her best to help Shen Lianming say good things, and she will definitely promote his marriage with Xiaofang. And let Shen Lianming go home first to have a good rest, and then wait for the good news.

Hearing what his grandmother said, Shen Lianming was overjoyed, and he forgot to say thank you and ran home. After casually settling dinner, he lay down on the bed, planning to rest early and go to Xiaofang's house early tomorrow morning, but when he lay down, he thought about it again, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he even had a premonition that he didn't want to think about it in the end. This made him feel uneasy, tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night, and stayed up like this until the early hours of the morning, when he closed his eyes with a deep sense of sleepiness.

"Well, I shouldn't have slept that night, I should have stayed by the dry well all night!" said the little old man, who stopped suddenly, sighed and sighed.

"I said old man, I'll let you tell me about this village or this well, why are you still writing your memoirs here? Hurry up and get down to business! Don't waste time!" Zhou Qingli was a little impatient when he heard this, and opened his mouth to let Old Man Gao cut to the chase.

The little old man, that is, Shen Lianming, the protagonist of the story, just glanced at Zhou Qingli lightly and did not make any response, and then turned his head to look at Soul Haoxuan, who was listening patiently on the side, his eyes were full of deep meaning.
