Chapter 3 On the Edge of the Pond
Happiness blossoms, warm and lonely, Mao Yalei and I lie in the cool poplar forest gently brushed off by the poplars, which was the coffin book of Mao Mai, a good man with a little lame and half-limp feet in the village. The flowers are falling, the water of the pond is clear and rippling, and the green and ripe crimson strawberries in the middle of the flower bed are dotted in the green grass, and the wind blows, but there is a fishy smell, which is because the wind mixes the smell of grass in the pond. Mao Yalei and I lay on the gentle grass like a sofa sponge on the bank of this pond, looking at the green and canvas-like leaves on the tall and lush poplar forest, through the leaves of the woods gently stirred by the wind, we can see the blue sky, and we can see the white transparent and brilliant sunlight shining happily and charmingly among the leaves of the trees.
Mao Yalei's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at me seriously and unequivocally. "I'll give you a matchmaker, will?" The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile that puzzled me, and this smile of his, in my opinion, seemed to me to have a plan and a purpose. I'm silent, I'm speechless, I'm thinking, now, I haven't found the right girl in my life that I really like, the vast sea of people, I'm still waiting, I'm still walking alone in a long life. "In the past, I didn't want anyone, I just wanted myself, don't you understand? I've always been a single boy, and I've always had a single-minded tendency. No one is worthy of me, and I don't want anybody. I said angrily. At this moment, a cool breeze blew in the sky, and the poplar forest felt it, and in an instant, the leaves flew down, and some leaves, oval, like a woman's light kiss, fell on my lonely and damp man's chest.
"I'll give you a matchmaker, you're absolutely willing." Mao Yalei seemed to be teasing me, and he said with a bright smile. "Tell me a matchmaker, I absolutely don't want to." I said in the same affirmative tone. Mao Yalei stared at my eyes, he was probing my bottom, he teased: "What is the eldest daughter of the Zeng national family? "At this moment, I smiled so calmly, smiled so gently, smiled so movingly, I couldn't help but feel excited, what I didn't expect was that the matchmaker Mao Yalei told me turned out to be this matchmaker, I like Zeng Guomin, and naturally I like his daughter." Is all this really true? I can't believe that the most beautiful thing in the world can happen to me? I asked Mao Yalei sweetly.
"If you don't believe that this thing is really white, then you bite yourself and see if you are dreaming?" Mao Yalei smiled crimson. "Okay, let me try." So, I bit my arm. "Ah, it hurts." I said in pain. "It seems to be true, I believe it." I said, looking at the bitten red arm. Mao Yalei seemed to be doing a very cost-effective business, he stopped laughing, and then said seriously: "You study hard yourself, ensure that you look like this, and I will help you run this business." Within a week, you can see results. "Let's go, let's go to Zeng Lou now, and I have to let you know what your father-in-law's home looks like." Mao Yalei took my hand and said.
Arrived at the village of Zenglou, under the tall and vigorous poplar and swaying willow forests, the village looked dark and damp under the lush foliage, even in the summer dusk. On the long natural road of yellow and white, my good friend Mao Yalei and I walked and chatted. In the middle of the village, in the south of the huge pond with green grass, there is a temple-like blue brick and Han tile very delicate tiled house, which is not high or large. Mao Yalei pointed to the temple-like house and said to me emotionally: "That is the family of Lishui County Ling Zeng Guomin, their family of four, you will slowly get to know their family in the future, can you take a fancy to it?" Mao Yalei asked rhetorically. I paused, thoughtful, but I couldn't help but give Mao Yalei face, so I lowered my head and said, "I can like it, I can like it, why can't I like it?" ”
Mao Yalei can be called the old man of the month, such a distant relationship, such a distant marriage, such a long distance, he can pull the red line, I can't help but admire Mao Yalei's intelligence, like Mao Yalei's ability, he doesn't open a restaurant when he grows up, and he is too much of a loss when he grows up. Standing by the edge of this pond, I love the falling pear blossoms and the dancing of the fish in the water, and they seem to know that me, the sad future owner, is coming. At this moment, another gust of wind blew the leaves and the fragrant flowers of the trees, and fell down, as if a bride in the wedding march was about to marry into this solemn but joyful family. I like this ancient building of blue bricks and tiles, isn't this kind of building exactly the right house that I plan to live in in my dreams?
The geese and swans of the Yanggang River took off from the Yanggang River and flew to the gentle and warm water country of the southern country, and they flew over me at this moment. The children in the village happily pointed to the high clear sky with their immature hands, and shouted with a smile: "Hey, hey, swans, look, and geese, so beautiful, so beautiful." "Following the sky that their hands pointed, I saw swans and geese flying under the blue sky, and I was happy, I smiled, and I was tempted......
