“…… We sat by the high heaps of grain and listened to my mother talk about the past......"
"Brother, this song is so good~"
In his field, Yang An sat on the straw pile with Yang Le in his arms, looking at the golden rice that was being dried, while singing this childhood ballad. Why sing this song, of course, is the right time. Yang Le looked at Yang An with a look of adoration as always, but this time, she admired Yang An's song, just a song.
"Eh, isn't my brother singing good?" Of course, Yang An's singing is not good, and it can even be said that the five tones are incomplete, but the voice is good, colleagues in the previous life said that Yang An's voice can be the host, but unfortunately he can't sing, and he has a good voice.
"Brother, you said you couldn't lie to you. Yang Le whispered, she was ignorant, and felt as if her brother seemed to be a little unhappy.
"Hahaha," Yang An pretended to smile generously and gently scratched Yang Le's nose, "Brother knows, my brother's singing is really not good, so Lele must learn to sing hard and sing it to my brother in the future." ”
"Well, Lele must study hard and sing it to his brother in the future. Yang Le took Yang An's words as a holy decree, his face was serious, his eyelashes were fluttering, and a pair of bright eyes seemed to be able to print Yang An's shadow.
Speaking of which, Yang An also felt that he should add some entertainment supplies, toys, musical instruments, children's books and so on to his home. Yang An in his previous life had no childhood, and he didn't want his younger brothers and sisters to be the same in this life, since he had the ability, it was time to enrich his spiritual life.
"Okay, my brother will come back for the New Year to buy you a good thing!"
"Really, what is it?" Yang Le stood up, looking expectant.
"You'll know when the time comes. Yang An also sold Guanzi, but in fact, Yang An himself hadn't thought about it yet.
The weather in summer is really changing, just now the sun is shining, seeing that the sun is about to set, a gust of wind blows, dark clouds are full of sky, and the originally quiet mountain village immediately boils - every family is busy harvesting grain.
"Lele, quick, go home and call someone!"
His own land is not too far from home, looking at the full field of grain, Yang An will definitely not be able to handle it alone, mainly because the rain is coming too fast, Yang An watched the dark clouds gradually coming from a distance, and it is estimated that he will return in five or six minutes.
The small mountain village was boiling, and there was a rush of chickens and dogs, and now it was the time for the peasant women to cook, and the men had not yet finished work, and everyone was running and flying, and their mouths were shouting like machine guns.
Yang An asked Yang Le to move the rescuers, and he was busy by himself. The rice was dried on a large blanket sewn from snakeskin bags, and it seemed that it was too late to pack the bag, so the rice could only be piled in the middle and covered with a blanket.
Yang An used a special rake to push the rice on the edge to the middle, and then shook the blanket on the side, which was very fast. However, the more rice accumulates inside, Yang An's speed slows down. Looking up, the dark clouds were coming soon, and the family had not yet arrived, and there were more rice in the house.
Just when Yang An was sweating in a hurry, a figure rushed over, Yang An didn't have time to see who the person was, lowered his head and pushed the rice with a rake, and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, shake the rice next to you in!" With someone to help, the progress is obviously much faster, and no one will have time to greet each other, so they can only bury their heads in things, it's really a race against time!
It wasn't until Yang An covered the four corners of the blanket on top of the grain pile and pressed it with a big stone that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, eh, Uncle Chunhe, why are you?" Yang An was paralyzed on the grain pile and wanted to talk to that person, but he didn't expect that this person was not Yang An's brother or family, but a cousin who had not yet come out of five suits.
Yang Chunhe smiled faintly and said, "I was rushing home just now, and I saw you harvesting rice alone, so I would definitely come over to help you first." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Chunhe, what about your family, let's go quickly. Although Yang An was very tired, he still stood up and prepared to go to Yang Chunhe's house to help.
"No, it's probably too late to rush back now. Yang Chunhe said lightly.
As he spoke, the rain crackled. The two of them found a place to hide from the rain, and at this time Yang An carefully observed Yang Chunhe. Yang Chunhe was originally the most promising candidate in the village to be admitted to university, but he had a serious illness three days before the exam, and finally went to the examination room with illness, which was naturally not ideal. Yang Chunhe's family conditions are not good, it is rare to be able to finish high school, and there is no extra money to repeat for another year, not to mention that in the countryside, a prime-age labor force is a very important productive force, and the family wants Yang Chunhe to stay and help the family do things. So the first college student in the village just went away.
Six or seven years have passed, Yang Chunhe is already 23 years old, I don't know what is going on in his family, and I don't know if he is married. In his previous life, Yang An went to study in other places, and he came back once or twice a year, and as soon as he graduated from college, he also went to work on Ludao, and he went home even less, so he was not familiar with many situations in his hometown.
Yang Chunhe always gave people a breezy look, just like now, he looked up slightly at the rain in the sky, and there was an inexplicable melancholy. It's not Guo Xiaosi's bright sadness of looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, it's more like Tony Leung's affectionate and melancholy eyes, as if they are all stories, making people fall into his emotions.
Afraid of the sudden silence in the air, Yang An decided to break the silence.
"Uncle, what have you been at home all these years?" Yang An asked cautiously.
Yang An turned his head slightly, but he didn't look at Yang An, paused for a while, and said slowly: "What can I do in this hometown is nothing more than working part-time work, and I will never die of hunger, and that's it." ”
Although Yang Chunhe hid his suppressed emotions, Yang An still heard a trace of unwillingness and anger, was it because of his unwillingness not to go to college or his helplessness about his current life?
"Then, have you ever thought about going outside, after all, you went to high school, I think you can still find a lot of jobs, besides, you are so smart......" Yang An became more and more careful, Yang Chunhe looked calm, who knows if Yang Chunhe's inner emotions are like a volcano that is suppressed and may erupt at any time.
"Where can I go out? What can I do when I go out? High school? High school education has been eliminated, forget it, it's all fate. After a series of rhetorical questions, Yang An couldn't go back, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Yang An has always been relatively old since his rebirth, but compared with Yang Chunhe today, Yang Chunhe is more like an old man who has seen through the vicissitudes of the world, without a little youthful vitality, no wonder he has always been indifferent.
Yang An thought about it, and felt that he should still persuade him, 23 years old, it was a pity to stay in a small mountain village, so he said: "Uncle Chunhe, I don't understand the big truth, but I think you are still young, no matter what fate arranges, go out and break through, even if you still have nothing to do after your head is broken and bleeding, you will not live in vain." When the time comes, it's okay to go home and live your life in peace, but if you don't go out and give up on yourself, I think no matter how good your fate is, you will be trapped in this small mountain village. There is a way out, and there is a way to go. ”
Yang Chunhe glanced at Yang An with some surprise: "Hey, you have also grown up, and you actually know how to say such things." Actually, I understand the truth, and I've heard a lot of these words, but, alas, let's talk about it again. ”
Yang An opened his mouth a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything. Indeed, listening to others to reason is not a good life, and many things must be thought through by yourself. Although Yang An didn't know what Yang Chunhe had experienced, it was inconvenient to say anything more.
Maybe Yang Chunhe felt that the atmosphere had changed a little strangely, and when he looked up, he felt that the rain seemed to be lighter, so he turned his head and said to Yang An: "The rain is light, I should go home, you can play with me when you have time during the summer vacation." As soon as the words fell, Yang Chunhe didn't know how to run into the heavy rain, the heavy rain was obliquely and densely intertwined, and Yang Chunhe's figure gradually disappeared, like a small boat, blown away by the rain and wind.
Yang An raised his arm, he didn't have time to react, looking at the figure that was already invisible, Yang An withdrew his arm and touched it, thinking about something.
