Luo Xiao pressed his head against his chest, and muttered with tears in his eyes, "Xiaojun, you don't have any feelings for me, just as a substitute for Yingzi, right?" ”

Wu Xiaojun grabbed her waist with one hand, gently patted her shoulder with the other, and said thoughtfully, "In my heart, I have always regarded Yingzi as your incarnation, and when I see her, it is like seeing you in front of me. I will cherish this very rare and slowly belated love, and I will never let this love slip away from me, let alone let you down. From now on, if I feel sorry for you at all, I will be thundered by the sky and go out ....... ”

Luo Xiao immediately let go of the hands holding him, covered his mouth and pinched it vigorously, and said delicately, "Fool, don't talk nonsense." As long as you think it's right, just let it go and do it boldly, and I won't tie your hands and feet and pull your hind legs. If you indulge in the love of children all day long, and you are destined to be unproductive, I will be disappointed, and I will not spare you. ”

"Sister Xiao, what I said is true, I have always loved you sincerely, and I have never wavered in the slightest."

"It's still a long time, listen to what you say, and more importantly, watch you do it. Alright, alright, let's not talk about this, it's already dawn, and we should say goodbye too. ”

The dawn gradually left, the red sun rose, and a new day began, and the streets began to be lively with people and cars. With sweet smiles on their faces, the two walked out of the guest house, ate breakfast, and waved goodbye reluctantly.

Three weeks have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wu Xiaojun has nothing else to do at home every morning and evening to help feed his mother and take care of the housework. This morning, he came to Yuanzhen Hospital to see Song Zhizhi. Song Zhizhi was just assigned to the pediatric department of the hospital after the Spring Festival, and Wu Xiaosen is in the same department. The two are more familiar with each other, so naturally they have nothing to talk about.

Wu Xiaojun asked Song Zhizhi, "Why do you go to work so late?" ”

Song Zhizhi didn't fight when he heard it, and scolded and said, "It's not that gang of bastards in the Personnel Bureau, they don't take our students seriously at all, today to push tomorrow, tomorrow to push the day after tomorrow, and push back and forth for more than half a year." Later, I still found a relationship and went through the back door to complete the formalities, thinking of those rabbit grandsons hating the roots of their teeth. ”

"Isn't the county always shouting for the importance of talents, how can it be so difficult to implement it?"

"Those people are full of official words, dare to believe it, you don't die, it's really a poor place The Emperor of Heaven is far from being cared for, those officials look at a person with five people and six dignified, in fact, the belly is full of bad water and black, they are all wild geese who pluck their feathers and don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Now that I think about it, I am still very simple in school, I think of a qiē is very beautiful, and I really come into contact with the society, only to find that it is not as simple as I imagined, and it is very complicated inside. I regret that I didn't stay outside and came back in a daze. Now all I want to do is jump out of here a day earlier and get free. ”

"Adversity produces talent, and this may become a powerful motivation for you to work hard. I heard that Sister Yuanyuan was admitted to graduate school, isn't it? ”

"Yes, I went to Wuhan Tongji Medical University for graduate school last autumn, and now the situation is very good. The students of their school are very sought-after, and there are many big hospitals vying for them before they graduate, and they have a lot of settling-in allowance and housing, as well as a lot of scientific research funds, which are not only very high-paying, but also very valued. We can't compare with this bad place, it's all fucking intrigue and seniority, no matter how high your knowledge and ability, you can't show your temper. Although I am in the same department as your brother, I don't avoid you, to put it bluntly, I have a feeling that I am being bullied by dogs. ”

"It's normal to have a certain gap between the ideal and the reality, and you don't have to be too pessimistic. In the future, if Sister Yuanyuan doesn't come back when she goes to other places, what are you going to do? It's not a matter of being on a different side of the world! ”

"It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, go with her, you can't delay people's future and a beautiful and happy life. Now I especially regret that I fell in love with her at the beginning, what a waste of time and youth, and I was full of sorrow. It's hard to have both! I don't know if you're talking about your girlfriend now, I want to advise you, it's best not to talk about it, even if you do, don't take it too seriously, the deeper the love is, the deeper the hate, so as not to regret it later. ”

Wu Xiaojun came out of the hospital, found a public phone booth and talked to Luo Xiao on the phone, and returned home after thinking about Song Zhizhi's words repeatedly along the way, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. Not long after I got home, I heard a shout from the villagers, "Go over and take a look, Crazy Chunni climbed to the top of the big elm tree, it's very dangerous, and if you fall to the ground, you will die." ”

The elm stands in the middle of the village, with a trunk more than two meters thick, and although it is more than 80 years old, it still grows luxuriantly. The elders often say that in the past, there was a big bell hanging on the tree, and as soon as the Japanese devils entered the village, the bell would ring automatically, and the sound was very loud. As soon as the people in the village heard the bell, they immediately put down their work and fled into the distance with their families. Strangely, most of the trees in the village were burned to the ground, but this elm tree was intact. Later, the people in the village worshiped it as a sacred tree, and some good men and women lit a few incense sticks under the tree to pray for the safety of the whole family during the New Year's festival. Everyone was afraid that if they provoked the tree god, they would provoke natural disasters, and no one dared to break a branch of it, and no one had ever climbed it.

Wu Xiaojun didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly walked out of the house and came to the big elm tree, where there were already a lot of people watching the excitement, and there were many gossiping discussions. Five or six aunts and aunts looked nervous, and rushed here from home with quilts in a panic, and four or five men and women were sweating profusely and raced against time to spread the quilts under the trees.

In the middle of a thin bend six or seven meters above the ground on the tree, there was a young girl with unkempt hair, gray marks on her face, and a sluggish expression, who was about twenty years old, was Wu Chunni, the second daughter of Wu Jinxiang's grandfather's family. She was wearing a shabby shirt with a thin silk plaid lining and clay-colored shorts, and a five-inch-long tear hung from a tree branch, and her pink panties were clearly visible in the breeze. She clasped her feet together and rode on a thin branch more than two meters long from the second trunk, grabbed the branch beside her with one hand, and danced in the air with the other hand, chanting words in her mouth, "Guanyin Bodhisattva manifested his spirit and killed the fox spirit of Xinqiao." The vixen is really bad, forcibly taking away my love......" and sometimes singing with a smile, "There is me Du Shi Niang in heaven, Shi Niang, I will make you clothes, pick up the whip and beat you to death...... Hahaha, Wan Qiang, wait for me, I'll go with you in beautiful clothes, hehe......hehe

Grandma Jin Xiang's face was full of horror, crying like a tearful person, and she kept shouting, "Chunni, don't think about it, don't jump down, mother, please." Hurry down! Hurry down! ”

Several women watched her keep persuading, "Girl, come down quickly, everyone is worried about you, seeing that your mother's voice is about to cry and be hoarse, you can pity her!" ”

At this time, seven or eight quilts had been laid on the ground, and six young and middle-aged laborers had propped up another thick quilt to prepare for receiving people. Chunni's eldest brother Wu Yongcheng called over the stick boy Wu Baogang to explain in a whisper, asked him to quietly climb to the tree, and said to her near Chunni, "Chunni, come down slowly, it's very dangerous here, if you fall down, you will die, and no one will see it." ”

No matter what Bao Gang and the people under the tree say, Chunni always ignores it and still sings the words. Wu Yongcheng saw that the tree was ready, handed Bao Gang a long bamboo pole, Bao Gang received it, stretched out to Chunni's side, while she was unprepared, Chunni's body fell crookedly, fell on the thick quilt, because the momentum was too great, several people failed to lift, she fell on the quilt on the ground. The gravity was significantly less cushioned, and she lay flat on the quilt unscathed, her hands fluttering in the air, laughing out loud. A few ladies came over and dragged it home.

Wu Xiaojun listened to Chunni's chaotic recitation, and looked at her crazy appearance, wondering in his heart, how could a girl who is usually quiet and virtuous suddenly become in this state, what happened to make her mentally stimulated so much and become crazy and demented? He whispered to Aunt Zhao beside him, "Auntie, what's going on?" ”

Aunt Zhao is a well-known fast-mouthed woman with a long tongue in the village, and she is also a small speaker to pass the microphone, seeing Wu Xiaojun asking her, she was very happy, and hurriedly pulled him aside, lowered her voice and said simply, "Xiaojun, you have been away from home for a long time, I don't know the situation, Wan Qiang, Chunni and Xinqiao are all getting better, and Xinqiao's belly is big for fear of being found out by others, and the two eloped." Chunni also slept with him many times, and then saw that the two of them ran away with no hope, and her brain was strongly stimulated, and she couldn't turn it around for a while and went crazy. I don't know what ugly or ashamed, sometimes I run around the village naked in broad daylight. Grandpa Jin Xiang's family has done a lot of difficulties, the hospital has been to the hospital many times to no avail, and it is useless to burn incense and worship Buddha everywhere. Iniquity, iniquity. ”

Wu Xiaojun listened to her mysteriously explain what happened, and couldn't help but feel for a while, could it be that the way young men and women here choose mates has also changed, and free love has also challenged this place where feudal ideas still occupy the main position. It's a pity that Chunni, a beautiful yellow flower girl, became a victim of free love in vain. When I returned home and told my mother about it, my mother sighed and told the story of the incident.

The village of Wujia Village is not large, there are more than 400 people, most of them are surnamed Wu, counting five generations, 80% of them are a family. Due to the remoteness and relative backwardness, and the lack of open-mindedness, young men and women have rarely found a partner to fall in love with themselves for many years, and basically rely on relatives and friends to match each other for marriage. If you hear that a girl has not been introduced by a matchmaker, it will soon become an explosive news and become an after-dinner conversation.

Wu Yongkui is a small household compared to the big family, with four brothers, one is silly and one is stupid, and the other is a worker in other places. Although he used to be the village chief, he always had no weight in his words because of his small family, and Wu Jinlin, a big family in the village, brought a group of children and grandchildren to the house every once in a while to find trouble for him. He has three sons and two girls, except for the youngest son Wu Wanqiang, who is just in his early twenties and has not yet married and started a family, the other four have all started a family. Wu Wanqiang is a particularly handsome young man, although he did not graduate from elementary school, he can speak well, his head is particularly flexible, some young girls have a good impression of him, but few people dare to approach due to secular pressure. Wu Wanqiang is very picky about the choice of objects, and has seen more than a dozen girls, either because they are low or not beautiful, or because they have a bad family, and they have never decided. However, every time he went on a blind date, he was quietly watched by Grandpa Jin Lin's second daughter Xinqiao and Grandpa Jin Xiang's second daughter Chunni and remembered in his heart.

Wu Jinlin and Wu Jinxiang are uncles and brothers, and Wu Yongkui's grandfather is called the third uncle. They have four brothers from their fathers and eleven brothers from their juniors, making them the most numerous and powerful group in the village. Wu Jinlin ranks fifth among the junior brothers, is the most active, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, depending on who in the village is not pleasing to the eye, at least he will be scolded with his head and face, and he will be beaten violently, and generally no one dares to provoke him. He has two girls and a young son, the younger son died of a sudden illness at the age of less than ten three years ago, the eldest girl Xinhua has been married, and the second girl Xinqiao is nineteen years old this year. Wu Jinxiang has two sons and two girls, the eldest son Wu Yongcheng and the second son Wu Yonghe, the eldest daughter Chunju has already married and had children, only the youngest daughter Chunni is nineteen years old this year, although she is not as beautiful as Xin Qiao, she is quiet and virtuous, beautiful and dignified, high and low, and she has not been engaged yet.

Because of their inner admiration, Wu Xinqiao and Wu Chunni were secretive at first, and the two of them made excuses to talk to Wu Wanqiang and say some happy witticisms. Because they are all in the same village and are big families, everyone is usually more familiar with them, and there are naturally fewer taboos. The three of them often get together to play poker, and sometimes Wu Wanqiang says some outspoken words, but the two of them are not disgusted, but feel very happy and fun, and the laughter is not stopped, so they play very hotly. At first, Wu Wanqiang still had some scruples about the two, but he couldn't extricate himself from the love for a long time, so he mixed with the two, and gradually developed into a solitary tryst with the two of them in the fields, beside the haystacks, and in places with few people.

In order to take care of his uncle and grandfather, who had no children and were sick alone, Wu Wanqiang lived in his grandfather's house every day. Last winter, after his grandfather died, he lived in his house and did not move out, and he was the only one at night, which provided a good opportunity for Xinqiao and Chunni.
