The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, about the same height as her sisters, and was fuller. Except for the two eyes that are a little small and a single eyelid, he is also a beautiful person.

The two of us just cooperated with each other to deliver melon seedlings and chatted at the same time. She also went to junior high school, and we talked very speculatively together. Of course, we talked about nothing more than some local customs and other irrelevant topics. However, I had a plan in my mind at that time, and I wanted to be friends with her.

But we were working at the time, and all I could do was hand her the seedlings or deliberately touch her hand when she handed them to me. She knew I meant it, but she didn't show any irritation.

This made me determined to chase her. I wrote him a letter when I got home that day. After the letter was written, I asked Yang Xinguo to help me send it to her.

The sister-in-law knew that I had written a letter to her sister and was very kind to me the next day. I used to work in her wasteland until 11 o'clock before she called me to dinner, but after I had only been working for half an hour that day, she told me to go back, saying that I was afraid that I would be tired.

After planting watermelon seedlings for other relatives or friends, Yang Xinguo finally planned to transplant them. However, the first thing we need to do is to buy fertilizer.

They usually use three types of fertilizers for farming: ammonium bicarbonate, superphosphate and potassium chloride. That day, I sat on Yang Xinguo's walk-behind tractor and went to the market to buy fertilizer. After buying fertilizer, he drove the tractor to the door of a store and stopped.

At the entrance of the shop sat an old man of about seventy years old, with gray hair and looking very energetic. Yang Xinguo got out of the cart and greeted him. Before I could get out of the car, my sister-in-law's little sister walked out of the store.

It turned out that Yang Xinguo wanted to buy her family's instant noodles to take home. I got down and put the instant noodles in the car and hugged the girl. After we hugged a few boxes of instant noodles, the little sister also got in the car. Yang Xinguo got into the car and walked away.

The girl deliberately approached me, put her hand on my knee, and looked at me with those little eyes with affection. After doing this for a while, she didn't jump out of the car until Yang Xinguo stopped the car in one place again.

She probably went somewhere else to do something. Yang Xinguo drove the handcart and walked not far away, and the girl looked at me affectionately several times, and then disappeared.

After coming back, Yang Xinguo and I mixed the three kinds of chemical fertilizers together and prepared to apply them to the ground the next day.

However, Yang Xinguo made a fatal mistake. He shouldn't have just put the fertilizer into the ground and asked someone to transplant the watermelon into the ground the next day.

As a result, within a few days, more than half of the watermelon seedlings died. As the saying goes, if you have money to buy seeds, you don't have money to buy seedlings. The watermelon seedlings are dead, and if they are regrown, they can't catch up. The only way is not to grow watermelons. What to plant? Grow corn.

However, I am a person who is easily annoyed, I originally came to Zhongxiang to be a master of watermelon planting, but I didn't expect the master to be a master, and I talked about a few girlfriends but didn't make it. And although Yang Xinguo's sister-in-law is sometimes good to me, I haven't seen her come to me again.

Moreover, her second sister was not as good to me as before. The situation in Yang Xinguo's family is a mess again. If he doesn't make money in the future, I won't be able to get my salary. Thinking of this, I told Yang Xinguo one day that I wanted to go home.

When Yang Xinguo saw that I insisted on leaving, he said to me: "Since you want to leave, I won't keep you, I'll spare a day to take you to Guanzhuang to visit the temple fair." "Okay. I say. ”

Then Yang Xinguo didn't let me work that day, and went back to find my wife to discuss with her, wanting to spare a day to accompany me. The sister-in-law did not object.

The next day, we went to a place called xx in Guanzhuang Town to catch a temple fair. On the way, Yang Xinguo and I talked about his sister-in-law. He said that his sister-in-law told him that she had a good impression of me, but that we were too far away. If she marries us in Henan, she wants to see how difficult it will be for her parents and sisters to meet.

If I were to go to her house upside down, she would already have an eldest sister and a son-in-law at home. Besides, we have a habit of eating noodles there, and they have a habit of eating rice here. The customs of life are very different. This multifaceted discomfort can cause inconvenience in later life.

Then Yang Xinguo said this to me seriously. I think that's what he said, and besides, he was about to leave at the time, so he didn't talk about it anymore. However, there is one thing I have never understood, why should my little sister be so nice to me if she doesn't like me?

Why do you put your hand on my lap? Why do you have to make eye contact with me? I really couldn't figure out these questions at the time. But now, a few years later, after going through the vicissitudes of the world, I figured it out.

That girl was afraid that I would hate her if she rejected me. That's why it's so good to me. However, she didn't expect that the more this happened, the more irritating it would be to me.

I had failed to fall in love several times, and I was twenty-four years old at the time, and I was worried about my future. There is no way out of literature, and I have no skills, so what should I do in the future? I feel at a loss.

Yang Xinguo obviously saw my troubles, so he persuaded me on the side: "Xiao Zhang, you are so handsome, you are not afraid of not finding a girlfriend." "However, our family is poor. "I told Yang Xinguo.

"It's okay, take your time. Your sister-in-law and I were also very poor when we first separated, but with our hard-working hands, life slowly got better and better. With that, he patted me on the shoulder.

Hearing him say this, I pretended to be relaxed and walked with him to the crowded place. The temple fair was crowded with people, some played acrobatics, some played monkeys, some told fortunes, some sold daily necessities, etc., which can be described as very lively.

However, I had no interest in any of this.

After we finished visiting the temple fair, Yang Xinguo and I took a photo as a souvenir. Then, we went back. In the evening, Yang Xinguo took me some money (because I left halfway, so I didn't settle on a daily basis, he only gave me a few dozen yuan. ）。 The next day, I boarded a bus from Gaotai Village to Zhongshan.

The car was driving on a blind date, and Gaotai Village gradually wanted to walk behind me. yes, I've been living there for two or three months in the blink of an eye. In the past few months, there have been laughter and sadness, happiness and hesitation, helplessness and confusion, and I want to write an article to express my inner feelings at that time!

Goodbye, Gaotai Village, goodbye, Rong Wazi, goodbye, Yang Xinguo, sister-in-law, second uncle, aunt, third sister, little sister, you will always remain in my mind, deep in my memory!

I really want to see you one day and see how you're doing!

On the way to Zhongshan Town on the high platform, I began to think nonsense again: Zhongxiang is a place rich in products, if you can sell the local specialties here to us, and then sell our local specialties here, it is estimated that it will be a good business!

I thought about it and started to pay attention.

When I got off the bus in Zhongshan Town, I saw an advertisement for rice noodles posted on a telephone pole, so I tore it off and looked at it carefully. The advertisement turned out to be a recruiting agent for the production of rice noodles.

"Rice noodles may be a new thing for us, I'll go home and see if I can be an agent. "Thinking of this, I put that advertising paper on my body.

I took a bus from Zhongshan Town to Zhongxiang City, and when I arrived at Zhongxiang Station, I just got on the bus to Xiangfan and didn't go far, and I saw a person being knocked down at an intersection through the window. I wanted to go down and see, but I was afraid that the car would leave, so I could only open the window and take a look.

As the car slowly passed through that place, I occasionally heard from onlookers that it was the police who bullied and knocked people down. The exact details are unknown.

I took the bus to Xiangfan Station again. As soon as I got out of the car, four men dressed as peasants came up to me and asked me where I was going. "Go to Zaoyang. I said (I want to go to my aunt's house first, so I have to take a car to Zaoyang).

When those people saw me talking to them, they snatched my luggage from me very affectionately and said that they would take me to the car.
