Chapter 1 Fruit Man
Xia Zhi wore a washed gray summer bamboo cloth trouser gown, put his hands in the fat big sleeves, looked up at the dense canopy of the big willow tree against his back, and let out a long sigh. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old-fashioned sigh of a child is always very funny in the eyes of those who enjoy the shade together, especially those who don't know the inside story.
"Summer solstice, what kind of sigh do children have?" spoke of a young daughter-in-law who had just married into the village and was the same generation as Xia Solstice. She obviously didn't take Xia Zhi's sigh seriously, and asked quickly, "Why didn't you go down with your brother today?"
Xia Zhi lowered his eyelids and lazily replied with one word: "No." ”
The tender voice actually sees through the red dust through the bones, and there is no strength to love.
"What's wrong with this child?" the little daughter-in-law also saw that something was wrong.
The old woman in the indigo summer cloth coat gave the little daughter-in-law a look, asked her not to ask again, and asked Xia Zhi with a smile: "Sixteen, is the headache better?"
"Much better, Auntie. "Summer solstice answers.
"That's good, that's good. Old Lady Wu looked at the summer solstice carefully, and stopped talking.
"Xia Zhi, isn't it time for your mother to come back?" asked another slightly older daughter-in-law with a smile.
When she went out to cool off for a while, someone reminded her of those bad things. Xia Solstice stood up expressionlessly and walked away from under the willow tree with a slow pace.
"Sixth daughter-in-law, why don't you open a pot and mention a pot! Mrs. Wu reprimanded in a low voice, and saw that Xia Zhi had gone away, and then sighed: "There is such a mother on the stall, this child is also miserable." ”
Summer Solstice walked to the back door of his house.
The wall of the courtyard was only one man high, and the door was empty, and there was no door.
Like most villages at this time, the people of Daxing Village were so simple that they could almost reach the point of not closing their doors at night. Despite this, the average family in the village will still have a courtyard gate, but because of the difference between the rich and the poor, there are various courtyard gates.
Xia Zhi's family is not the ordinary two-dimensional family.
The backyard of Xia Zhi's house is very small, and there is a low wall on the left hand of the door, surrounded by a small garden, and there is a cherry tree in the garden, with lush branches and leaves, and it is very beautiful when it blooms, and now the fruit is almost ripe.
The summer solstice is not in the mood to appreciate.
She was an orphan who was abandoned at birth and was picked up and sent to a welfare home. Because that day happened to be the summer solstice of the lunar calendar, the director of the welfare institute named her the summer solstice.
Although she grew up in a welfare home, she didn't feel unfortunate. Along the way, she was admitted to a national key university with intelligence and diligence, completed her university and graduate courses with scholarships and student loans, and joined the world's top 500 foreign companies after graduation.
Her company is well paid, and correspondingly, the competition is also very fierce.
She has no worries, others are unwilling to work overtime, she works overtime, she is going on a business trip, and she happily goes where others are not willing to go. The same people who entered the company, she quickly stood out.
After that, she arranged for others to work overtime, and everyone broke the head competition for business trips, and she could choose at will.
In a few years, she has reached the middle level of the company, not only bought a car, but also took out an early mortgage to buy an apartment that is not too big or small.
She has already repaid the loan, and the next plan is to mortgage a small villa by the mountains and rivers while the suburbs are still under development, which is usually used for vacation and retirement for retirement.
At the age of twenty-nine, she can be said to have a bright future.
Suddenly, someone found her through various relationships, saying that it was her biological parents.
She made an appointment with them to meet and soon unearthed the truth.
It turned out that it was a patriarchal couple who gave birth to her in order to have a son, and when they found out that it was a girl, they threw it away. The reason why they went to great lengths to find her was because their baby son, who was born later, had leukemia. They need her marrow, and they need her money.
Originally, she was still a little longing for her parents, and she was angry, and after slapping the table and leaving the hotel, it was dark in front of her. When she woke up again, she would be a twelve-year-old girl from the ancient countryside.
is also born on the summer solstice, surnamed Xia, and is simply called Xia Solstice. And because it was May 16, the nickname was Sixteen.
She wished it was a dream, but it wasn't.
can't go back, she is unwilling, but she doesn't have too much concern.
After working and buying her first property, she made a will. If something happens to her, all her property will be donated to the welfare home to help those children who have the same unfortunate start in life as her.
The couple who favored sons over daughters and did not fulfill the slightest parenting responsibility for her would never take advantage of her penny!
I'm afraid the dean will be sad for a while when he knows the news, but there are so many children to take care of in the welfare home, and the dean won't have much time to be sad.
She didn't have time to be sad either.
The home of the summer solstice is four adobe houses facing north and south, one bright and three dark, entering from the back door is the hall house, and through the hall house, it is the front yard.
The front yard is very large, there is an old well under the eaves, and against the courtyard wall on the west side is a chicken pen and a pigsty, and the rest is a large vegetable field. The vegetables in the vegetable field have grown green, and there are yellow, purple, purple flowers and fresh fruits, a thriving farmhouse scene.
The house is not good, but the people who live in it are not lazy.
Even so, the little girl on the summer solstice is still a bad luck baby, although she has a father and a mother.
Walking slowly along the path between the vegetable patch and the east courtyard wall, pushing open a fence door that was waist-high with her, Xia Solstice stood on the steps and looked down.
Xia Zhi's family lived at the south end of the village, and there was no one outside the front yard.
At the bottom of the steps is a gentle slope with sparse trees on both sides, and a dirt road at the end of which is a river.
In late spring and early summer, there have already been two rains, and the river is significantly wider. The river flowed from west to east, from behind a small hill, past the row of houses on the summer solstice, and then turned a corner and disappeared in the bushes.
The air is fresh and the eyes are green.
This is exactly the setting she wanted for the cottage, just a pity......
Xia Zhi once again assumed the classic peasant pose, drooping a pair of kitchen knife eyes. Sitting back and waiting was never her style. The Tian clan is coming back, and with her age, identity and situation, there is really too little she can do.
But even if there is no road ahead, she has to step on a road to get out.
Towards noon, the chimneys in the village were already smoking. The little babies wading in the river with their trouser legs rolled up in the river went ashore in twos and threes, and ran to the village in a hurry.
It was the shallowest section of the river, and it was getting deeper and deeper behind the hill upstream.
A naked, dark boy came around from behind the hillside, waded ashore on the water, and walked along the dirt road.
The little guy looked no more than six or seven years old, with a pigtail on his head, and his bare body shining in the sun, as if he was a slippery little black fish.
The little black fish also carried a grass carp with a willow strip pierced through the gills in his hand. The grass carp did not die, and from time to time it flicked its tail and struggled twice.
He walked with a swagger, and the little twitter staggered without shame.
Looking at the little black fish, it was the summer solstice full of sorrow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
The little black fish has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it looks very energetic.
Seeing the little boy's appearance clearly, Xia Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Uncle!" Xia Solstice Starry Eyes, pulling his hand out of his sleeve and waving desperately at the little boy.
