In May and June of the following year, the time is the wheat ripening season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Yuan and I asked for leave to go home, and the excuse was very simple - "celebrating the harvest"!

Both of our homeroom teachers approved, and although we were only given three days off, we were already very content with the two of us. It's not easy to take a leave of absence from high school, and it's a crucial time to study, and each slip has to have a special meaning.

After leaving the school gate, Gao Yuan and I first took a bus, drove all the way to the terminal, and then transferred to a bus near the outskirts of the city. Following the bus terminal, Gao Yuan and I got into a taxi again. Usually, Gao Yuan goes home to find a relatively cheap small three-wheeler, with the exception of this time, because there are important people by his side.

I didn't know at the time that the burden on Gao Yuan was very great, and it was the money he saved by frugality. All I remember is that it was a long road, which gradually changed from asphalt to concrete and finally on a bumpy dirt road.

Looking out through the window, just as Takato described. The vast fields are full of vastness. It was the joy of gold paving, and this year was a great harvest!

Gao Yuan saw me in a daze, and he called out to the driver in advance. We got off the bus on the land some distance from his home, and the meter showed the amount of 32 yuan.

Gao Yuan said with a smile, "My house is almost here, seeing that you were so interested in the field just now, I want you to experience it firsthand." ”

"It's awesome!" My excitement was unmistakable, "The feeling of boundlessness, no wonder Brother Gao Yuan's eyes are not short-sighted." ”

"It has nothing to do with whether the eyes are nearsighted, right?" Gao Yuan explained as he walked towards Tanabe, "Myopia, it can only mean that you study hard!" Hey hey ......"

In fact, Takato's words are exactly the opposite. My myopia was completely caused by playing computer games with Sky Bear in junior high school, and it really had nothing to do with studying.

Gao Yuan pinched a pinch of wheat, skillfully rubbed it back and forth in his palm a few times, and then blew off the surface of the wheat husk, and the plump and green wheat kernels were clearly visible.

"Open your mouth!"

I opened my mouth stupidly, and Gao Yuan took the wheat kernel in his hand into my mouth with bad intentions.

"Is it delicious?"

I chewed between my teeth, "It's delicious!" ”

"My family's field is here, and I often come to take you to play when I have time."

"Hmm!" I looked sideways into his field, "Huh? Is that your parents? ”

Takato followed my line of sight, a kind of ashamed smile on his cheeks.

He said to me, "You wait here for a moment. So he hurried towards them. It seems that it should be Gao Yuan's parents.

From a distance, Gao Yuan seemed to be talking to his parents, and his mother glanced at me again, and I smiled awkwardly at Gao Yuan's side.

As if all the preparations were done, I followed Gao Yuan to his house.

Gao Yuan's family belongs to the kind of traditional rural compound house, the house is simple, the yard is placed with miscellaneous things, and an old girder bicycle is particularly conspicuous next to the tree.

The neighbors are very simple in character, and there is less pretense in the big city; A warm greeting is a declaration of war against the indifference of the city; There is no hustle and bustle of the city, and it is surprisingly quiet.

However, all this did not make me feel uncomfortable, but rather made me feel more comfortable, which was completely different from Bai Yuzhe's trip to Shanghai. The daunting coat has been removed, and all that remains is intimacy and warmth.

There was no sofa in the room, so I sat on a stool, and Takato brought me a glass of water and turned on the TV, which was also very bulky in the old style.

"You sit here and watch TV, and I'll prepare lunch." He asked, "What's your favorite thing to eat?" I'll do it for you. ”

"You know how to cook?" I looked at Takato in amazement.

"It's been a long time coming! Isn't that unusual? He laughed.

"For me, it's because I can't cook." I thought for about two seconds, "No, I'll have to go to the kitchen with you so I don't watch TV here." ”

"What are you doing with me in the kitchen? The smoke is very heavy, and I don't have equipment like exhaust fans and range hoods in my house. ”

"Then I'm going too! Learn to cook with you! I said mischievously, "Actually, I can only watch from the sidelines, as long as it doesn't hinder Brother Gao Yuan." ”

"How so?"

Gao Yuan's family usually cooks with a fire, and it is a big pot of rice. When you are tired of eating gutter oil from city stalls and restaurants, you might as well try this big pot rice full of local flavor.

It is understood that the vast majority of people in this place cook on fires, and only a few who are wealthy may use induction cookers. As for natural gas, for some unknown reason, it is actually extinct in this place.

Gao Yuan's best dish is "scrambled eggs with tomatoes", which is a simple but brilliant dish that is also my favorite dish.

Then there is the legendary "Golden Fried Rice", which normally steam a large pot of rice is enough. But today seems to be a very special day, the rice is not only steamed, but also fried, for Gao Yuan, one more procedure is more in it.

I said, "I'm going to eat 'hot and sour shredded potatoes.'" ”

He said, "Okay, no problem! What else do you want to eat, just say. ”

"Is there a 'bean sprout'? Mung bean sprouts, not soybean sprouts. ”

"This, I'm afraid I have to go to the county to buy it, and I don't have it at home. If you want to eat it, I'll buy it in the afternoon, and we'll make it in the evening. ”

"Oh, good."

Gao Yuan's so-called county is actually the terminal of the bus, which is very far away from his home. They rarely go out to buy vegetables, and for rural families, they almost always eat whatever they grow, and most of the dishes are for takeout, and unless there are guests, they will deliberately go out to buy vegetables that are not in the house.

Gao Yuan regarded me as a guest, so in the afternoon he really went to buy mung bean sprouts, and also bought a few bags of cold dishes, a few bottles of beer, a roast chicken and a few catties of beef.

He knew that I liked to eat wheat, and he made a pot of porridge with his own wheat kernels.

From the beginning to the end, I would only fill the fire and burn the pot, and I would watch it from the sidelines, unable to help anything, and I would not cook a single dish after watching it for a day.

Gao Yuan has long formed a habit of cooking at home, and his parents will not praise him for this. If it were me at home, my parents would say, "The sun is coming out of the west today." "No, you can't.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "children of poor families are in charge of the family early." ". They behave precociously and speak sincerely, but without losing their innocent faces.

They are still just children, but sometimes they have to disguise themselves as adults and do things that only adults do.

Sometimes, they are willful, stubborn, naughty, serious, and show their true feelings. Of course, these are only revealed in front of their peers.

The character of Gao Yuan's parents also belongs to the extremely honest type, and they don't say those exaggerated words, they are enthusiastic, happy, and very sincere. It makes people feel like they are going home, and in this era of indifference, they have picked up a spark of love.

Takato asked unabashedly, "How do you feel?" I'm okay cooking, right? ”

"Hmmm! Great! "I was so happy that I almost squirted wheat kernels out of my nostrils.

"Make the beds for the two of you, don't make it too late." This is Gao Yuan's mother's advice before going to bed.

"You two, you have to work hard and strive to get into an ideal university, you know? The hopes of our generation are pinned on you. This is Gao Yuan's father's advice before going to bed.

"Got it!" Gao Yuan and I spoke in unison.

Due to the hot summer weather, Gao Yuan and I were naked in the evening, and we only put a thin towel on each other's stomachs to sleep.

The night in the countryside is not as hazy as the night in the city, and the night in the countryside is pitch black, and you can't see it even if you put your palm in front of your eyes.

I'm afraid of the dark, but I know that Takato sleeps next to me.

He suddenly turned sideways, as if flipping over to my side. My nostrils were like wind tunnels, agitating a strong hurricane, and I just felt my bangs swaying in the wind.

In the dead silence, he said something amazing, I don't know if he was talking in a dream, or he said seriously, "Xiaohu, do you like men?" ”
