Chapter 5

Beauty tears, shocking people's hearts; The man's tears moved the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's strange to say, the wedding night should have been affectionate and full of laughter, but Xiaoli and Lu Xinzhou's new house sounded crying again, but this time it came from the mouth of the groom's official Lu Xinzhou.

"Xiaoli, you are too bitter, you have been harmed like that, and you are still thinking about others." Lu Xinzhou lost his voice in pain, and squeezed out this sentence while crying.

"What should I do, they are my mother and brother, although they are half-brothers, I grew up watching him. There are also those two old people, I can't be without scruples, I can't just think about myself and not think about my relatives. Without them, I would have eaten that guy raw. Xiaoli said angrily.

Lu Xinzhou lifted the hair on Xiaoli's forehead, saw the obvious scar engraved on the top of his head, and the tears in his eyes fell again: "You are so kind, a kind person like you should have been rewarded a long time ago, but it's a pity that you didn't know me for a long time, if you knew me earlier, I would definitely give you a happy and comfortable life." ”

"It's not too late to know now, it's all up to you in the future."

"That's for sure, I don't dare to make a wish to make you rich, but I will definitely give you happiness, do everything I can to satisfy you, and let you have no worries about food and clothing. I will think about what you think, be anxious about what you are anxious about, and like what you like. I will try to make my two children respect you, be filial to you, and love you. Let you have the happy life that you didn't enjoy in the first half of your life from the moment we both became partners. ”

"Thank you, just by your words, I at least feel that it is right to choose you, I love you."

"I love you too."

"What's wrong with the two of us, the cave room Hua Candle said something unhappy before, which made you and me cry."

"It's okay, I can't help but cry when I know your misfortune."

"My misfortune is just beginning."

"Then you go on, I want to hear it, I want to understand."

"It's too late today, don't talk about it, I'm a little tired, and I will have time in the future."

"Okay, let's sleep."

Xiaoli pouted and made a gesture to accept the kiss, Lu Xinzhou took Xiaoli in his arms with understanding, and put his lips on Xiaoli's charming mouth, and the two fell ......in love like glue, and at this moment they did not envy the mandarin duck but the immortal.

Xiaoli and her veritable husband had a beautiful wedding night, which came too late for Xiaoli, and she happily fulfilled Lu Xinzhou's request as much as possible, giving everything a woman could give to her groom without reservation. Until the next morning, Lu Xinzhou asked his wife in high spirits and with undiminished interest: "Xiaoli, what is the story after that?" Do you go on to say yes? ”

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Xiaoli fell into contemplation again, and the memories began anew.

On July 1 of that year, Xiaoli, who had been hospitalized for a whole week, was basically cured in physical condition, and the gauze and needles and threads on her head had been removed. It is admirable that he is a young man, and he has recovered so quickly. Xiaoli repeatedly asked to be discharged from the hospital, but the doctor had to agree. Yu Xianglan helped Xiaoli go through the discharge procedures. The girl walked out of the city hospital in high spirits. Then the figures of these three people were left in the major parks and tourist scenic spots in the provincial capital. Everywhere she went, Xiaoli ran and jumped with her younger brother with great interest, and Xiaoli, who had not been seen for a long time, returned to her relatives. Although her inner world is still sour, she understands that it will be difficult for the three of them to swim happily together like this, and it will be difficult to have time and opportunities in the future. So she buried the pain in her heart, gave the laughter to her relatives, and released all the happy emotions that had been closed in her heart for a long time.

Three days later, the next night, the mother and the daughter returned to the hotel in a huff. When they entered the door, the three of them were like soft-skinned balloons, and they all collapsed on the bed without mustering their strength, but the smiles on their faces still refused to disperse.

"Xiaoli, I'm so happy, the tourist attractions in this provincial city are really beautiful, I really can't afford to go. But there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, tomorrow I Xiaoqiang and I will send you to the third uncle, and we should go back. Yu Xianglan said while lying on the bed.

"Yes, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, it is really beautiful. I'm so happy that I forget who I am. But things don't work out as we want, and we're going to be separated. Xiaoli also lay down and said.

"My sister seems to be composing poetry, it's so interesting, don't go, don't go, let's play for three more days? There are still a lot of attractions that I haven't seen. Xiaoqiang sat on the bed and said.

"You're the little guy who has the most fun, and you're crazy. No money to play again, no money to play again, your children don't know how to worry about it, it's interesting enough, I'm tired, let's wash and sleep, and we'll have to rush tomorrow morning. Yu Xianglan said again.

"Then I won't sleep with my mother tonight, I will sleep with my sister." Xiaoqiang said.

"Alright, alright, up to you, little ghost." Xiaoli smiled.

The rest was speechless.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Yu Xianglan woke up her daughter and son, and after washing up, the three of them left the room, took their things and walked out of the hotel together.

Yu Xianglan's three elder brothers were originally their duty, honest farmers, with long shoulders, big waist, rough hands and feet, because they worked in the farmland all year round, so their skin was black and translucent. The eldest brother, Yu Xiangping, suspended his studies before graduating from middle school and returned to his hometown to farm. He is an introvert and does not speak much, but he is loyal, kind, helpful, capable, diligent, and has a lot of strength. Over time, in the minds of cadres and villagers, they all regarded him as a good descendant. In this way, a farmer in a neighboring village who only had an only daughter fell in love with him, and told him that his daughter Xu Xiaoyan was his daughter-in-law, and four years before Yu Xianglan and Hong Fusheng got married and started a family, Yu Xiangping lived in Xu's house as a son-in-law instead of recruiting a son-in-law, and later he and Xu Xiaoyan gave birth to two sons. When it became a trend for migrant workers to go to the city to work, Yu Xiangping led his eldest son, Yu Xiaohai, who was in his early twenties, to work as a construction worker in a coastal economically developed city, leaving his daughter-in-law and his youngest son who was still in school at home.

The second brother Yu Xiangshun is simple-minded, speaks straightforwardly, and does not turn around, so he often offends people inadvertently. But he was very diligent, studious, young and strong, and learned a carpentry trade with an old carpenter in the village when he was in his spare time. He also got married two years before Yu Xianglan, and his daughter-in-law is a good daughter of another family surnamed Yu in this village, named Yu Xianghong, because they are all Xiangzi generation, so the difference in names is only one word. Eight years ago, Yu Xiangshun took his daughter-in-law to work in the Hainan Economic Development Zone, and it was naturally his old profession, Yu Xianghong and he did the work that a woman could do in a development zone. They left their only daughter in the village and left it in the care of their grandfather and grandmother.

Of the four brothers and sisters, only the third brother, Yu Xianglong, went to high school, so he is shrewd and capable, tactful, and will see the wind and rudder. His sister got married two years later, and his daughter-in-law is the second daughter of the only two or three families in the village, named Lin Hong. The two of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they have always been classmates from elementary school to high school. After getting married, she gave birth to two daughters, both of whom are still studying. Because Yu Xianglong is one of the few high school graduates in the village, and he can be careful in his calculations, he is a young talent with great appeal in the village. After the Spring Festival in 1989, Yu Xianglong, who was only 36 years old, called on and organized a construction team of more than 40 young men and women in his village and several neighboring villages, and drove to the high-tech development zone on the outskirts of the provincial capital to join the construction army that had already been there. Yu Xianglong naturally became the captain. Because her daughter-in-law Lin Hong is also a high school student, she is even more rare in the women's team, so she was promoted to canteen supervisor soon after she worked in the canteen.

On the morning of July 4, Yu Xianglan, Yu Xiaoli and Chen Xiaoqiang went to the high-tech development zone and found Yu Xianglong, the leader of the third team, who was directing the operation on the construction site.

"Third brother, we're here." Yu Xianglan said.

"Oh, here, didn't you say you'd come as soon as you had a holiday? Why is it a few days late? Yu Xianglong asked.

"There's something at home that has been delayed." Of course, Yu Xianglan will not say what it is.

"Third uncle, I'm here to report." Xiaoli said with a smile.

"You girl, you can't study, you have to come out to work, I really don't know what you're drawing. The student era is a golden age, is it worth it for you to give up gold to pick bricks? Hey, young people nowadays have nothing to say. ”

Xiaoli lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"This is Xiaoqiang, he's grown so big, I haven't seen him for a long time, like a big boy." Yu Xianglong said teasingly.

"Third uncle, hello, you are so handsome." The little emphasis was on Pi said.

"Haha, Xiaoqiang has also learned to praise people." Yu Xianglong said with a smile, after speaking, he said to the mother and daughter again: "Let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria, your third aunt is there, you will be under her control in the future, you have to listen to your aunt obediently, otherwise she will train people, now she is a leader, although she can't manage a few people, but she still has a good look." ”

"Is the third uncle afraid of her?" Xiaoli asked.

"Oh, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, but she can't control me during the day."

Laughing, the group of four arrived at a simple house made of metal and foam plywood built on the north side of the construction site. There are six rows of simple houses built here, each row of six rooms are connected, the first three rows are bungalows, the first and second rows are canteens, and the third row is a public toilet and bathhouse. The fourth row is a two-story building, which houses the offices of the relevant departments and the detachment leader. The fifth and sixth rows are three-story buildings, which are the collective dormitories of migrant workers.

Walking into the door on the left side of the second row, you can see the large but not messy, clean and uncluttered hall and the neatly arranged, scrubbed plastic rectangular dining table. "Lin Hong, Lin Hong, you come out, Xianglan and they are here." Yu Xianglong shouted in a rough, loud voice at the gate of the middle partition wall.

"It's coming, it's coming." Before you see him, you hear his voice first. With a soprano in response, a tall, thin woman in her early forties, with a smile, a tall body, and a thin build, stepped out of the door in the middle of the partition wall.

"Third sister-in-law."

"Third aunt". "Third aunt".

Yu Xianglan's mother and the three women praised at the same time.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're finally here, and if you don't come to that job, you'll let someone else take it." Lin Hong said enthusiastically.

After a period of greetings, several people sat down, and Yu Xianglong said first: "Xiaoli, you are working here, your third aunt and aunt have arranged the dormitory for you, from now on your third aunt is your leader, and you must absolutely obey her." If you have any questions and difficulties, tell her directly, your father and mother are not around, we are your elders, don't see outside, work and do things quickly, after all, this is a unit, not like you can be coquettish and lazy at home. ”

"I haven't learned to be lazy yet, I will definitely do a good job, you just put your heart in your stomach, I won't embarrass you, besides, you are my elders, I must obey the leader and listen to the third uncle and third aunt." Xiaoli said.

"That's good, that's good, I was still worried, I was afraid that you would be pampered for a long time and wouldn't be able to endure hardship, it seems that your little girl is quite sensible." Lin Hongdao.

"Yes, Xiaoli, the road is your own choice, you can't complain about anyone in the future, your mother is not by your side, your uncle and aunt are your elders, your leader, you have to listen to him (her) obediently, don't be willful, coquettish, do things seriously, and win glory and anger for your uncle and aunt." Yu Xianglan said.

"It's nothing, Xianglan, I'll take her slowly, the work in the canteen is not heavy or tiring, even if there is, she doesn't need to do it, those strong men raise meat to eat, you can rest assured." You eat here at noon, you take Xiaoqiang back after the meal, I'm still busy inside, I won't say more to you, Xiaoli will give me no less meat. Lin Hong said again.

"Yes, Xianglan, you just put a hundred hearts, Xiaoli will not suffer under the protection of her aunt, and when you see her again, if you lose a pound of meat, you will only ask. Okay, I can't spend more time with you, there's a lot going on on the construction site, I have to watch, and we'll have dinner together in a while. Yu Xianglong said.

"Okay, you guys go get busy first, and I'll see you at lunch." Mother and daughter said in unison.

At lunchtime, five people from two generations ate a hearty meal in that cafeteria. After dinner, Yu Xianglan left the high-tech development zone with Xiaoqiang. It is difficult to say goodbye when they meet, and the scene when the mother and daughter are separated is omitted here.

All the people in the cafeteria left, and after the people who worked here cleaned up the inside and out, Lin Hong summoned the big guys to hold a welcome party for Xiaoli. She said: "I will introduce to the big guy, this is Yu Xiaoli, is the niece of my family, from today she will come to work in our canteen, I hope everyone treats her sincerely, what does not understand and will not teach her, what should be said, the criticism of the criticism, don't hide it because of the relationship between her and the two of us, after all, this is the work unit, she is also working, not a guest, but also getting paid, so in the future, when the big guy should be polite at work, he still has to say her politely." After Lin Hong finished introducing her, Xiaoli stood up and bowed respectfully to the big guy. Then Lin Hong introduced the staff who were originally here to Xiaoli one by one: "This is Master Yuan, the chef of our canteen, and the oldest among us, you should call Uncle Uncle." ”

"Uncle." Xiaoli exclaimed with a grin.

"These three are also the chefs of the cafeteria, and they are about the same age as your third uncle, so you should call them uncle."

"Uncle, uncle, uncle."

"These three of you are called Auntie,"

"Auntie, auntie, auntie."

"These three are the living treasures of our canteen, they are all in their early thirties, this is Sister Zhao, this is Sister Qian, and this is Sister Sun. The surnames of the three of them happen to be the first three surnames of the hundred families. ”

"Sister Zhao, Sister Qian, Sister Sun."

"At night, you live in a dormitory with these three sisters, I will arrange the beds for you, and you will sleep on the top bunk of Sister Qian, you are young, and you should bear the burden of climbing high and low."

"Okay, I know, I'm new here, I can't touch the stove, and I hope that all uncles, uncles, Ah and sisters will care and advise a lot, I am here to thank you." Xiaoli clenched her hands into fists as she spoke, and then bowed deeply again.

The whole staff responded with enthusiastic applause.

Because it is the height of summer, Xiaoli is the provincial capital that came to it in an emergency. So she was dressed in a thin shirt and had very little luggage with her, only carrying a satchel. When Lin Hong found out, she asked suspiciously: "Why didn't you bring your luggage, and didn't you bring a change of clothes?" Didn't I tell you about your work a long time ago? ”

"This ......, we are here to play in the provincial capital." Xiaoli struggled to deal with the third aunt.

Lin Hong saw that Xiaoli seemed to have something unspeakable, and there were other people present, so it was inconvenient to ask more. So she said, "Then call your mother to send it, but you have to stay here for a long time, how can you do it without luggage." ”

"Okay, I'll call at night, I'm afraid they haven't arrived home yet."

"Okay, it's going to be done today, and your sister will take you to the dormitory to get familiar with the environment in a while." Lin Hong made a gesture of thanks to the three sisters.

"Yes, yes." The welcome ended briefly with a burst of laughter. Xiaoli went to the dormitory with the three sisters of Zhao, Qian, and Sun (just one Li).

The next morning, Chen Agen took his son Chen Xiaoqiang to the construction site canteen. Xiaoli was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here, Mom?" ”

"Received your call and your mom helped you pack your luggage, it's not two suitcases, but two travel bags. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold it, and besides, the shop is open again, and your mother and I must leave someone at home to watch the store, and I don't know here, so I brought Xiaoqiang with me. ”

"Oh, thank you, thank you, so much stuff."

"I'll help you get to the dorm."

"Okay, come with me."

Xiaoli led Chen Agen and Xiaoqiang to Room 204 on the second floor of the last three floors. The dormitory has about 12 square meters, there are two high and low beds on both sides of the window, Xiaoli sleeps on the upper bunk on the left, there is an old desk at the door, close to the desk and placed side by side with four single cabinets connected together, and three wooden chairs, the room is clean and refreshing, and there are not many things, as long as you stand at the door and scan at a glance, you can see all the things in the whole room clearly. Because it was summer, the room was relatively hot, there was no air conditioning, only a 16-inch electric fan on the desk.

Chen Agen clumsily placed the luggage he brought under Xiaoli's command, and climbed up and down to make the bed for Xiaoli. After finishing the work, Xiaoli said to him, "Dad, go back." ”

"Xiaoli, I'm sorry, if you want something, call home, I'll send it to you in time."

"Don't say sorry anymore, it's over, take care of yourself, mom will count on you to take care of it."

"Sister, can I come to see you as soon as I have a holiday?" Xiaoqiang interrupted.

"Okay, my sister welcomes you at any time, you have to be obedient, study hard, don't give up halfway, whether our family can produce a college student or not is all counting on you."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll work hard." Xiaoqiang said again.

"Then let's go, you pay attention to your body." After Chen Agen finished speaking, he pulled Xiaoqiang away. Xiaoqiang turned around and left under his father's tug, and his unbearable face Xiaoli was unforgettable for a long time.

Suddenly, such a young woman with a beautiful appearance, a charming image, and a good figure suddenly came to the canteen of the construction site. For a time, there was a lot of commotion among the migrant workers who lived away from home all the year round and were covered in mud and sweat. Especially in the hearts of the bachelors who have died of their wives and the young people who have not yet married their wives, it is even more waves. There are speculations about who this woman is, why did she leave her hometown to work at such a young age, and some people even ran the canteen several times a day with nothing to do. Later, after learning that it was Captain Yu's niece, the three-zhang high tide naturally decreased a lot. Because Yu Xianglong is the captain of the detachment and Lin Hong is the leader of the canteen, the power of the two of them scares those who try to get close, and even want to mess with flowers, have to be discouraged. Speaking of the canteen itself, except for Lin Hong, the four men and six women are already people with wives or husbands, so the four male chefs will not think about Xiaoli, but treat them like daughters. Of the six women, three were over forty, and three were in their thirties, and their husbands were basically leaders of different sizes at various outlets, because the female dependents who could be arranged to work in the cafeteria had a certain background. They also regard Xiaoli as a daughter and little sister, warm and friendly; Kind and caring, plus Xiaoli's hands are diligent, her mouth is sweet, and her uncles, aunts, and sisters don't leave her mouth, so she mingled with the big guy soon after she arrived. When working, everyone rushed to do the slightly more focused work, and Xiaoli only did some light work. In their spare time, everyone sat around and talked about some interesting things, and no one cared about the children of the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Wang family. And then there's the messy private affairs between women. Xiaoli is a little girl and has no family experience, so she basically has no qualifications to interject, only the fun of listening and laughing, smelling and pleased. In this way, Xiaoli's frozen heart melted away little by little, and the taciturn she slowly returned to her lively and cheerful past. In the evening, after taking a bath, Xiaoli basically didn't go there, just sat at the head of the bed, and looked at some novels and reading books that Chen Agen brought to her with the clipable table lamp on the bed rail. Although there are four people living in the dormitory, the three sisters are all married and have husbands, so every once in a while, Sister Qian is missing, or there is a lack of Sister Sun, as for where they went, it is not something that Xiaoli should care about and inquire. As time goes by, the big guy is already very familiar with and understands Xiaoli, so the conversation and chat basically do not avoid her, the only unmarried girl, and what swear words and foul words come out from time to time without care, Xiaoli is resigned to it, and sometimes she laughs with everyone casually. As the saying goes, "Three women in one play." "Every night in the dormitory, as long as the three sisters are all there, there will be a lot of drama in that room, and Xiaoli will naturally become the only audience. The topics they chat about are always in the order of children, mother-in-law, and husband. How smart, capable, and well-behaved children are; How fierce and difficult the mother-in-law is, it is unreasonable; When it comes to her husband, she often praises how tough she is, and the number of requests every night is never less. When they finished talking about their own topics, they shifted their interest to Xiaoli's personal problems. Sister Zhao said how good a handsome man is, and asked Xiaoli if she was willing to date, she could help matchmaking; Sister Qian bragged about how a good man in a certain township and a village was good looking, and if Xiaoli was interested, she could be a matchmaker. Xiaoli always refused them on the pretext that I was too young to think about it for the time being. In the prevarication that I was still young and didn't want to think about it, three years passed unnoticed.

Chapter VI

Autumn is crisp and sunny. In the autumn of 1998, the tiger was like a sick cat that had not eaten enough, and it was not very ferocious, and it was relatively hot at noon, but at night the air felt much cooler. The provincial high-tech development zone is a busy scene, with high-tech research buildings and new product research and development trial production factories rising from the ground. The number of migrant workers in construction and installation is increasing one after another, so that more and more people come to eat in the public canteen, and Yu Xiaoli, who has worked here for more than three years, is self-evidently busy.

Xiaoli, who has passed the age of twenty, is more dazzling, extremely beautiful, and has matured a lot, plus she is doing some hands-on work in the canteen, the wind does not blow, the sun does not shine, so the skin is more white. The bright smile and charming figure provoked the men who came to dine to look at her for a long time, and as she walked around, there were even a few people with chopsticks in their hands and their mouths open, but they forgot to put food in their mouths, which caused laughter. There are also one or two daring and reckless womanizers who will pretend to touch her arm unintentionally, or touch her hand, Xiaoli of course tries to avoid it as much as possible, and disdains it. But these phenomena made the third aunt Lin Hong see it in her eyes and remember it in her heart, and she felt that she should find an object for Xiaoli. As a result, after lunch was busy and all the things that should be done were done, Lin Hong pulled Xiaoli aside and asked Xiaoli cautiously: "Xiaoli, you have been here for a short time, you are over twenty years old, should you consider finding a partner?" ”

"Third aunt, why did you remember to tell me about this? I'm still young, and I don't want to think about personal issues too soon. ”

"It's not small, the man should get married, the woman should get married, and you don't plan to be an old girl for a lifetime, so it's time to think about it."

Xiaoli didn't react, so Lin Hong asked again: "Are there any young people you know that you like?" If there is a third aunt to help you match, and your parents are not around, the third aunt will help you check the gates. ”

"No, they're all flamboyant guys, I don't like it."

"Don't you have a favorite one? If we don't have your fancy in our team, don't we have any other teams? ”

"But there is a young man I feel good, I have never seen him and those little oils laughing, every day when he comes to eat alone in the corner, sometimes while eating and reading some books."

"Which lad are you talking about, is it on our team?"

"It doesn't seem to be from the third uncle's detachment, I heard that it's an electrician."

"Oh, you're talking about that electrician Xiao Wang, he is from the fifth team, but he is average-looking, not tall, but he is very honest, he doesn't like to talk, like a gourd, and he can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks."

"If you can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, then try to beat him with four sticks."

"If you hit four sticks, you're going to fart, but that's a dumb fart that doesn't make a sound."

"Then beat him with five sticks, or six sticks."

"Hitting five sticks or six sticks is definitely a fart, but one shot is definitely a dead fart."

"Hahaha." The two women laughed together.

Laugh and laugh. However, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Lin Hong found that Xiaoli had a heart, so he secretly inquired about Xiao Wang's situation. Three days later, Lin Hong told Xiaoli that the electrician Xiao Wang's name was Wang Weibing, twenty-four years old, no object yet, his hometown was a farmer in a remote mountainous area, and the captain of the fifth detachment, Wang Changyi, was his uncle. He has parents and two sisters at home, and he has a son, so the two sisters took a break from school early in the morning, let him go to high school, and went to a technical school for two years, learned an electrician's trade, and went to the provincial capital with the relationship of this uncle, and entered the construction team, and has been here for five years, the young man works seriously and responsibly, and has never made a mistake in five years, and the leaders appreciate him very much, and it is said that he intends to promote him. On weekdays, I don't like to talk, and I don't mess around with other young people, I just like to read books alone, and I fiddle with the harmonica, and I play it pretty well. After an introduction, Lin Hong said to Xiaoli: "Xiaoli, your vision is very thief, although this young man is not very good-looking, but his character is good, I think the two of you are a good match, do you want the third aunt to match you and protect the media?" ”

"Don't worry, third aunt, let me observe again, good things don't get up in the busy, if I feel that I can, I will take the initiative to attack." I'll report back to you then. ”

"You are a girl's family, take the initiative to open your mouth to the man, wouldn't you be ashamed to death, in case people don't want to, then your face won't be lost."

"What age is it now, it's normal for men to chase women, and it's understandable for women to chase men, even if I don't want to be amorous, what's not to be ashamed of?"

"There is truth to this, but you still have to take advantage of it and don't let people take advantage."

"No, don't worry, I know what to do."

This topic has been put on hold for the time being.

One night more than ten days later, Xiaoli had nothing to do, and she didn't have the heart to read, and the women in the dormitory chattered about some boring things, Xiaoli was bored, so she walked out of the dormitory and walked along a path to the south towards the river. It is a field path with endless crops on both sides, and a few houses can be seen in the distance. Because there was no destination, she stopped and stopped, stopped and looked, the moonlight was very bright that night, and the natural scenes on both sides of the trail were so eye-catching, Xiaoli looked at the east and west with great interest. At this time, she was far away from the dormitory, and Xiaoli suddenly felt a chill, thinking that if one or two gangsters came out of the field, wouldn't I suffer again? So she turned around and prepared to walk where she had come. A beautiful music flew into Xiaoli's ears, she immediately thought of what the third aunt said, Xiaoli looked at the sound again, and faintly found that there was a person sitting on the embankment ten meters away from her, with his back to Xiaoli, facing the river, and the movement seemed to be playing the harmonica, Xiaoli was very curious, so she was bold again, approaching the figure, when she walked to the corner of the embankment, Xiaoli saw that the person was Wang Weibing. I saw him sitting on the yellow earth, facing the surging river, blowing the toys in his hands. This situation and scene are like the Yellow River chorus, and Xiao Wang seems to be one of the accompaniments. Xiaoli's interest quickly increased, forgetting the reserved nature that a girl should have, she involuntarily moved to Xiao Wang's side, silently listening to the beautiful music. After Wang Weibing finished playing a song, he found a girl sitting next to him, he turned his head in surprise and recognized that it was Yu Xiaoli, and his favorite expression immediately covered his face: "Why are you here?" ”

"Why, doesn't great music need an audience? Besides, this is not your house, so if you are allowed to come, I will not be allowed to come? ”

"No, no, no, you are such a beautiful girl, I can't invite you if I want to, but I'm just surprised, so I take the liberty to ask."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, you are so beautiful, you are simply Chang'e in the Moon Palace, it is difficult to meet such a beautiful person as you in the mortal world."

"You are really good at complimenting people, you are silent on weekdays, like a stuffy jar, it turns out that it is all pretended."

"Where, where, there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation, I am too lazy to pay attention to those swingers who don't learn and don't know how to drink, play cards, and tease little girls all day long, so I try to talk as little as possible."

"Do you have something to say to me?"

"You're different."

"How could I be different?"

"You are beautiful, cultured, temperamental, and cultured. Out of the sludge without staining, with the flow without pollution. ”

"What do you say?"

"You see, every day you have to face the gossip words of those young people who are not careful, and the few low-level women around you, flirting all day and night, you are in the middle of it, you can listen but not speak, hear but not speak, and avoid it with disdain."

"Why, you're paying attention to me?"

"It can also be said that your name is Yu Xiaoli, you are the niece of Captain Yu, she is twenty years old this year, and she has been in the canteen of the construction site for more than three years."

"Ah, you know all of that, no wonder you stare at me every time you eat. But when my eyes meet you, you are too busy to look at me, what is the reason? ”

"You are so beautiful and noble, out of reach. I am mediocre in appearance, humble in birth, have no power or power, it is impossible for me to enter your eyes, only appreciation. ”

"If you are like those idle and wandering young people, no matter how good you look, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to enter my eyes."

"Anyway, I ......" Wang Weibing was a little excited.

"Hey, you don't know me yet, okay if you don't talk about this today? Do you often come up to this embankment? ”

"Yes, when I was tired of the young men making a fuss, I came here to enjoy myself and be self-absorbed. Do you know? This is a canal, an artificially developed river, and you should not underestimate this canal, it is probably the largest man-made river in China or the world. ”

"Ah, this river is so magical, I have been to this river a few times, but I have never heard of this river so famous. Can you tell me about it? ”

"There are many, many stories about this river, and I'll tell you more slowly when I have time, okay?"

The two of them chatted on the embankment for nearly two hours, and Xiaoli found that Wang Weibing had a wide range of knowledge, understood a lot, and talked well, and the love in her heart arose. At this time, it was very late and the temperature had dropped, Xiaoli suddenly felt a little cold, and shivered involuntarily, so she said to Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang, let's go back, we have to go to work tomorrow." ”

"Okay, will you come back tomorrow night?"

"Do you want me to come?"

"Hope, hope, I can't ask for it."

At the same time the next day, the young couple came to the edge of the canal as promised, and Xiaoli said first with joy: "Aren't you going to tell the story of this river?" Let's hear it. ”

This river is called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, from Beijing to Hangzhou, is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in our country at the end of the Sui Dynasty with Emperor Yang in order to go from Beijing to Hangzhou to see the annual Qionghua bloom and ordered to be excavated manually, the cost is huge, the manpower used is rare in history, and countless people have died. Emperor Sui Yang is a famous tyrant and faint monarch, he killed his brother and sister-in-law, and molested his own sister in the back garden. It is said that after the river was dug up, Emperor Sui Yang did not let the water be released, but spread the soybeans on the riverbed, and then put the boat on the soybeans, and then used a hundred boys and girls each, all of whom were only sixteen years old, and were not allowed to wear clothes, and each person was only given an apron, which was tied to the bow of the boat with a rope, and the other end was carried forward by the boys and girls on their backs, which was called the landing boat. When those children were struggling on their backs, Emperor Sui Yang ordered someone to break the rope axe, and the boys and girls fell on the soybeans in parts, and the scene was unbearable, and Emperor Yang laughed happily. ”

"Is all this true?"

"I can't verify whether it's true or not, but it's true that Emperor Sui Yang is a faint monarch."

"What's more, you talk about it again, it's so interesting."

"Because Emperor Sui Yang was mediocre and loyal, it caused rebellions all over the country, and for a time there were eighteen anti-kings, and sixty-four roads smoked, and finally Emperor Sui Yang had to commit suicide. The book and the TV series The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are the history that is told. ”

"This is called evil retribution."

"yes." Wang Weibing talked eloquently, up to all things in heaven and earth, down to thousands of years before and after, talking about the sky.

Yu Xiaoli listened to the mystery with relish.

For more than ten days, these two men would go to the embankment every night to talk about the world. The more you talk, the more affectionate you become; The more you talk, the closer the two hearts are. Finally one night, Xiao Wang couldn't help but hold Xiaoli's hand and said: "Xiaoli, I like you, I seem to have endless words with you, let us never be separated, be my girlfriend." ”

"I like you too, and I'm so excited to be with you, but you don't fully understand my situation, and I'm afraid you'll regret falling in love with me in the future."

"No, no, God is the master, the earth is the matchmaker, and the canal is the witness, my Wang Wei will never regret being with you, the mountains and the earth are cracked, the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and I will never change my heart." As he spoke, he hugged Xiaoli in his arms, leaned down, and pressed his lips to Xiaoli's mouth, wanting to kiss her.

Xiao Li stopped Xiao Wang's mouth with her hand, and said in an almost choked voice: "I may not be as perfect as you think, so white and flawless, I have a past that I can't talk about." ”

"Everyone has a past, I don't want to know, I don't know you before, I just know that you are the most perfect goddess in the world at this moment, I want to kiss you." Xiao Li couldn't help but say more, Xiao Wang had already pushed Xiao Li's hand away and pressed his lips tightly on Xiao Li's red, wet cherry mouth.

Xiaoli lost the courage to refuse, to be precise, she didn't want to refuse at all, she opened her mouth wide and bit tightly with him.

The evening breeze swished, as if playing a song of love for them.

The river is roaring, like a warm current that brings them meaning.

At this moment, the staves converged into one key.

All the notes point to the word love.

Wang Weibing and Yu Xiaoli fell in love, Xiaoli's third uncle and third aunt, who were the first to get the information, couldn't close their mouths happily, and Wang Weibing's uncle and aunt also praised this pair for being talented and beautiful. The news spread, and soon the company of talented men and famous flowers spread in the construction site and canteen, and the tone of praise and jealousy and complaint could be heard everywhere, and people regarded their relationship as the main topic of conversation after dinner.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August arrived, and Wang Changyi, the captain of the fifth detachment, and his wife Tian Ping, as the man's elders and family members, invited Yu Xianglong, Lin Hong and Yu Xiaoli to their rented house for dinner and conversation.

Wang Changyi, forty hanging zero, northerner, national face, small eyes, if you don't smile, you can't find it with two eyes when you smile. Although his appearance is average, his figure is tall and mighty, it may be that he has been in the south for a long time, and his original accent is almost gone, and some of them are in a southern and northern tone. His wife, Tian Ping, is a person from the suburbs of the provincial capital, she and her husband met and fell in love with each other at work, as for who chased whom at the beginning, there is no need to delve into it. Her youngest husband is one year old, and his appearance is average, about 1.60 meters, but his skin is white and pure, and he speaks softly. They had a son, who stayed with his parents in Tianping, southwest of the provincial capital. In order to facilitate their work, they rented two rooms upstairs in a two-story farmhouse yard not far from the construction site, one for bedrooms and the other for kitchens and reception. Yu Xianglong and Lin Hong also live in rented houses, but they are renting two bungalows, which are only ten minutes' walk from Wang Changyi's residence.

At six o'clock in the evening, after the Wang couple arranged a table of delicious dishes on the table, Wang Changyi first said in the name of the host: "Please sit, please sit, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the traditional reunion festival of the Chinese, but we are all away from home and cannot reunite with our parents and relatives, so let our two families share this beautiful night happily together." After the two generations of six people all sat down, Wang Changyi said: "I propose that everyone cheer for reunion and happiness." Everyone raised their glasses, stood with a smile on their faces, and sat down again after taking a drink together. Tian Ping said with a smile: "Everyone eats vegetables, I don't know how to cook, I messed a few dishes randomly, and I don't know if it suits your appetite, please forgive me, don't be restrained, just eat casually." ”

"You're so polite, you're polite." Yu Xianglong and his wife said in unison.

"I invite you to come today, firstly, in the name of the festival, we will gather and talk together; The second is that the two children of Wei Bing and Xiaoli are in love, and we four adults talk about our opinions, their parents are not around, and we, as their elders, should communicate and communicate. Xiao Wang is my nephew, this child was very bitter when he was a child, his hometown is in the mountains, the economy is very difficult, it is not easy for him to grow up, his parents and two sisters in order to let him study more, have a good life, I don't know how much hardship to pay, this child is quite competitive, work steadfast, meticulous, and now and Xiaoli is free to love, we are happy in our hearts, you two are older than us, I will call your brother and sister-in-law here, if there is anything wrong with the guards in the future, or it is not good for Xiaoli, But if it is not convenient for you to say him, tell me or his aunt, and we will discipline him. ”

"What you said is serious, the guard is very good in all aspects, I also like him very much, Xiaoli can fall in love with him and she has a vision, the guard can have Xiaoli is his blessing, we bless them"

"Yes, I have observed this kid for a long time, and there are many advantages, and it is still very good for Xiaoli to be with him. Xiaoli is not easy, her biological parents divorced when she was more than five years old, and her mother later married Chen Agen in Yinlong Town to settle down. Chen Agen is very conscientious, and he can treat Xiaoli and her son, so their life is quite happy. But Chen Agen is not Xiaoli's father after all, otherwise Xiaoli would not have given up school at the age of seventeen to work. Therefore, the two of them can be regarded as having the same fate, so they must care for each other and love each other, so that the two hearts that have been hurt more or less can make up for each other, be considerate, and enjoy life together. Lin Hong said earnestly.

"Who is Xiaoli's biological father?" Tian Ping suddenly asked.

"It is Hong Fusheng, the son of the former secretary of the Party Committee of Yinlong Commune."

"Ah, it's that person, that guy sent it, and now he's in the provincial capital." Tian Ping said in surprise.

"What's going on, you can be clear." Yu Xianglong and Lin Hong asked at the same time. Xiaoli also stared at him with wide eyes.

"That guy was originally a well-known demon king of the world, drinking, gambling, and prostituting women. Later, I don't know what the reason is, he suddenly learned well, and a few young people from the same village went to the provincial capital to work, it is said that what hard work, tired work to do, and I don't know what good luck he bumped into, he contracted a snack department, and then it got bigger and bigger, and now he opened a big hotel in Hexi, every day the door is like a city, the business is very good, he also bought a house in the provincial capital, and found a woman who is more than ten years younger than him to live the life of a rich businessman, and the woman gave birth to a son for him, as if he had gone to school. Tian Ping said.

"How do you know this?" Lin Hong asked.

"A distant cousin of mine and he belong to the same village, the last time I went to the countryside to visit relatives and met that cousin, we were eating at the same table, and we talked about this person by accident, but I didn't know that he was Xiaoli's real father." Tian Ping replied.

"Go to him? That's your own father. Lin Hong turned her head and asked Xiaoli.

"I'm not going, why are you looking for him, he hasn't even asked me where I am for more than ten years, I'll go to him to calculate that one now, and besides, he has his life now, how will I get along if I go, he makes his fortune, I don't have eyes to see." Xiaoli said firmly.

"Yes, yes, this kind of ruthless and unrighteous person is not worthy of recognition, Xiaoli has ambition and does the right thing." Yu Xianglong praised.

"That's ......." What else did Lin Hong want to say.

"Third aunt, let's not mention him, okay?" Xiaoli obviously didn't want to mention the person, so she interrupted.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, come on, come on, everyone eats the vegetables, they talk as much as they can, the dishes are cold, the big guys eat more, eat more, and wipe them all out." Wang Changyi said conversionally.

After the conversation came to an end for the time being, everyone began to drink and eat with great interest, and there were words of persuasion to drink and eat food in the banquet. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Weibing stood up and said with a wine glass: "Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, I am a junior, and I am not very good at talking, but I understand, you are all good for me and Xiaoli, please rest assured, from now on I will love Xiaoli as much as I love life, care about her, take care of her, and don't let her be hurt, although I am just a worker now, I don't have much money, but I will work hard, work hard, strive to make more money, for Xiaoli, but also for myself to create a better future, I try to settle down in the provincial capital as soon as possible, I can't afford to buy a house, we can rent a house first, give Xiaoli a warm and happy home, I hope you will support me and watch my actions. ”

"Good, good, the afterlife is terrible, that's what I said. Don't worry about us, we are your backer, as long as the two of you are loving and happy, we will fully support you. Yu Xianglong said.

"Yes, yes, we have the strength to contribute, and when the conditions are ripe, we will work together to help you start a family." Wang Changyi followed and cheered.

Lin Hong and Tian Ping also said some exciting words, but Xiaoli didn't make any statement, but she kept a smile on her face, and the words of several of them made her heart feel sweet, but there was still a slight hint of bitterness in the sweetness, where did her sourness come from? What is the cause of suffering? Only she knows, of course, those people are unreasonable at this time.
