Chapter Twenty-Five: Roundabout Firmness

The days at home always pass quickly, there are unsatisfactory things, such as aunt and dad as always show affection, sister as always pleasing in front of my dad as always, younger brother as always not close to me, but fortunately there is also a comfortable time, nothing to listen to the play, eat snacks and fruits, no matter which village invites the opera troupe to sing on stage, they are the most particular about gathering popularity, so after two days of warm-up, from the third day, the village every day at three o'clock in the evening and nine o'clock in the evening, these two time periods to the audience, each person provides a bowl of noodles for free。 Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm not a fan of Yue Opera, I only know a few classics such as: "Peacock Flying Southeast", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Legend of the White Snake", "He Wenxiu", "Five Women's Birthday", when I was a child, every summer, we enjoyed the shade in the yard, and these five listened to my mother the most, and listened to it over and over again, and I could sing a few paragraphs.

When I encountered a repertoire that I was not interested in, I would go up to the mountain with Hong Xia to pick bayberry and make wine, or go to the paddy fields of Chi Qing's family to catch loaches, snails, and fish. Now, with a group of industrious companions, in my own tea garden on Mount Kongo, I tied a wide blue cloth apron around my waist, tied both ends and hung it tightly around my neck, made a cloth bag and hung it on my chest, climbed the trunk of the tree, and used homemade simple tools, which were nothing more than a cloth bag under a long-handled sickle.

"Wow!haha.. I can't help you anymore, and now I'm not obediently thrown into a cloth bag by my sister. Hong Xia's smug laughter on the opposite hillside spread throughout the hillside.

Chi Qing, who is next to my tea garden, is more energetic than the tea seeds hanging on the branches, and is indignantly reaching it, "Wait for me, I don't believe that Lao Tzu can't reach you today," rustling ~ The leaves and thin branches were hit by the knife and fell to the grass one after another.

"What are you kid doing, just forget if you can't reach it, just let your dad take the time to come over and prune the branches, and pick what you can. The fat aunt couldn't see it, and persuaded her children not to harm the innocent tea tree.

I got off a tea tree, clapped my hands and tied a plastic rope to the main trunk, walked to the basket and poured all the tea seeds in the apron into it, looked at the results of the half basket, and said deflated: Auntie, in previous years, a tree was at least half a basket, but now it is a shallow half basket of two trees, according to this calculation, it is good to be able to fry thirty catties of oil. β€œ

The aunt was rarely sad, and said: "This year's harvest is generally not good, my aunt asked me for five catties of tea oil for her daughter's confinement last year." After speaking, he groaned for a while, and said to me: "Yaya, look at your uncle's house this year, don't give it, and don't move around anyway." β€œ

My eyes flashed, it turned out to be prepared, I said, since that night and my father mentioned my mother, my sister always talked to me in a weird way, it turned out that I was waiting for me here, with my father's support or what. Turning his head to look at Grandma Hong and Fat Aunt nearby, I raised my tone without looking for a trace: "I usually give it, I can't break it suddenly, there has to be an explanation." β€œ

"Thisβ€”" Auntie looked at me in embarrassment.

"Mom, what else is there to say. My sister's tone was full of blame for my aunt, and she turned to me and said angrily: "Sister, your mother and your father have been divorced for so many years, and the two families have long been broken, so why are you still doing one-sided favors." β€œ

"That's my parents' own business, as long as he is my maternal uncle and recognizes me as his niece, this favor can't be broken. Besides, when I was admitted to university, they also gave me a lot of things, and I was still walking around. It was the first time for me to have such a firm attitude in front of my aunt, and my cheeks were slightly hot in the sunlight with excitement, thinking about it, I was afraid that what I said would be too blunt, so I eased up again: "Auntie, you love me the most at home, so you can promise me." β€œ

My sister looked at my eyes with a smile and said slowly, "Mom, why don't you change the vegetable oil, give five catties more." β€œ

Even if I was annoyed in my heart, I still walked over with a smile on the surface and shook her shoulder: "Auntie, my sister's advice is also very good, but every household has vegetable oil, and people don't think it's rare to take it." β€œ

Grandma Hong from the nearby tea garden said: "Qiu Ling, what Yaya said is right, anyway, it's not much, just five catties, Chi Qingniang, do you say that my old woman is right?"

"Haha... It's such a reason, Qiu Ling, your mother's family gave it, just pulled Uncle Yaya's house, and the province dropped the handle to people to discuss. β€œ

Auntie opened her voice and explained to Grandma Hong and Fat Aunt with a smile, "Don't listen to Xiaomin, what do the children's families know, I am also hesitating, thinking that Uncle Yaya's family will not give it, and my mother's family will say no, but it is just a matter of eating less at home." β€œ

Grandma Hong had a suddenly realized expression, "Oh~ So that's the case, misunderstanding, Qiu Ling, your son's round-toed cloth shoes are good-looking, I'll go to your place at night to see the shoe samples?"

"Okay, come over after dinner, I'm at home. The aunt smiled, obviously praised by the elders who were the best at making shoes in the village, and she was in a good mood at the moment.

"Alas, Yaya, you have a few days off, when will you go back to school?" the fat aunt changed the subject.

"The day after tomorrow, tomorrow I will finish listening to "Five Women's Birthday", and I made an appointment with my roommate to go to the mountain near the school. "I told a little lie, I want to ask my dad to get money to buy a computer has been negotiated, my dad is a little worse than me, but you are trustworthy, and you will not go back on your aunt's words, which still holds me.

"Tomorrow afternoon, my fried rice cakes at home, you can take some back to school to eat. "Fat aunt skips aunt and says to me.

I sucked loudly: "Thank you, fat aunt, I can take more, my sister loves to eat too." β€œ

Chi Qing reminded in a low voice: "Mom, then you fry something that is not spicy." β€œ

"Okay, come on, Xiao Min doesn't like spicy food, I'll fry something that isn't spicy. The fat aunt said happily.

My sister tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Fat Aunt, I'll go with my sister tomorrow." β€œ

With the help of Grandma Hong and Fat Aunt, there was no reluctance to give in as expected, and the aunt and sister also came up and down, and they were all happy.

I looked around and found someone who was relatively low and easy to climb, took a stool and put it under the tree, rolled up my sleeves and prepared to go up the tree. It's not that I'm too weak, I'm really not good at climbing trees, but fortunately, tea trees are not as difficult to climb as pine trees.

On the tree can reach their own hands to pick, out of reach with tools enough, but unfortunately the tool is really lame, I always use the unfavorable rope, either to catch the tea seeds fell to the ground, or to encounter a dead end, it took a lot of effort to hang on the branch of it has no way.

Deep in a dark woods, the looming moonlight, lined with sparse branches and leaves, suddenly a gust of wind blew from my ears, I brushed the alarm bell in my heart, originally standing strangely around the trees, the branches and leaves became a ghost hand with teeth and claws, stretched out to me, I was so frightened that I spread my wings, hanging in the air, just so that they could not reach, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the still trees suddenly became ghosts, what is even more terrifying is that they also have wings, the speed of flight is not slower than me, I tried my best to fly forward, I was about to catch up, I sat up from the bed with a shock, the sensor light glued to the wall suddenly turned on, I saw the scene in the house, I breathed a long sigh of relief, which turned out to be a nightmare.

When I came back to my senses, I felt a sharp pain in my feet, so I quickly turned over and got out of bed, stood still on the ground, and then climbed back to the bed with my waist when the pain was relieved, which should be because I was too tired during the day, which caused my calf to cramp, and when I got up the next day, my body told me that I wanted to rest, but I still gritted my teeth and went up the tree again!

I can't help myself now, yesterday my aunt looked fine, but with my understanding of their mother and daughter, today's initiative is inevitable, it turns out that my judgment is right, after a day of hard work, finally appeased her unhappy, and came back at night and I laughed and talked.

The fat aunt saw that my sister and I didn't have time to get snacks in the afternoon, so she asked her son Chi Qing to send them to our house in the evening, "Chi Qing, thank you mom for helping your aunt." As she spoke, the aunt put the family's freshly made frozen rice candy into the two small snack baskets. β€œ

"Aunt Li is too polite, then I'll go!" Chi Qing took the basket of snacks and went home by moonlight.

After dinner in the evening, I dragged my tired body back to the room, and lay on the bed after taking a shower, I had back pain and leg cramps, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and opened the curtains, sat on the bed and took out a Chinese to look at.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just paying attention to the notes and points added with a red pen on each page, not the meaning of the text combination, only the font, it's really like the word, how to look at it and how to make people like it. Fingertips slowly rubbed the familiar font, and the warmth of the veins emerged from my eyes, this is the only book I have always cherished The reading notes of the male god, thinking about the twists and turns of borrowing books at that time, his words seem to be still clear in my ears.

"Mom, who's coming?" a cold middle voice came, leaving me at a loss as I stood in the doorway.

"Oh, Min Suyi from my class, she came to borrow your books from last semester. Teacher Li walked out with a smile.

I hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, I..."

Teacher Li smiled and let me into the room, I sat down on the sofa with my head down, and took the book she brought, "This is my son's book, don't break it when you read it, and I can borrow it from others to read next summer." ”

"Well, that, Mr. Li, I'll go first, thank you. "I got up and went out.

As soon as I got down a few steps, a voice behind me stopped me, "You study so badly, my mother specially kept it for you and didn't borrow it from others..."

"Li Yi!" Teacher Li interrupted his son's words solemnly.

He endured it and said, "If you preview the textbook in advance, you won't become an excellent student." ”

Listening to his magnetic alto, as if a burst of fairy music floated in, it was really as beautiful as a spring breeze, obviously I didn't pay attention to the meaning of his words, but simply had a good impression of him, and simply felt that with such a good voice, the character would not be bad.

I just remember burying my head in embarrassment and rushing downstairs with joy in my heart. But I couldn't remember what Mr. Li scolded him, so that he would see me from now on, without saying a word, just turn around and leave.

Turning the pages of the book, not only the voice is sexy, even the words are written so beautifully, although it is written with a red pen, but the key is that there is no trace of alteration, the organization is clear, and even the typography is very beautiful, it is simply that the more I look at it, the more I like his font, and the more I look at it, the more I have a good impression of him.

The male god deserves to be a male god, and even the radical generals at that time were so charming, so memorable, fortunately, I didn't waste your good intentions in vain.
