Chapter Forty-Three: News
At the dinner table, after Li Yanhong sat on the kang, he first admitted his mistake to Old Man Zhang, and told him about the afternoon, Old Man Zhang was not angry with Li Yanhong, he only said that he didn't blame him, Erchun watched from the side, and he didn't understand why Li Yanhong fell into his grandfather's eyes.
"Brother, the second girl's craftsmanship is really not to say, simple things are made, but they are fragrant when eaten." Li Yanhong pulled the paste of the budding rice noodles into his mouth, and threw another piece of pickles.
"No, drink some more wine, what a beautiful day." Old man Zhang took a sip of wine.
He eats so little that he probably drinks alcohol.
The pickles creaked in Li Yanhong's mouth, Erchun buried her head in eating, and didn't make a sound, in fact, she didn't like rude people before, otherwise where would she look at the educated youth from the village, the things of the previous life were in front of him, Li Yanhong was a person with style problems and was sent to the village, and people were also rude, let alone Erchun's eyes.
It's just that after coming to the city later, slowly all changed, and after so much suffering and suffering, Erchun had already lost all the likes in his heart, and he also understood that what was gorgeous on the surface was not necessarily good, and he opened a noodle restaurant and rolled noodles, and he had already become a rough woman, and naturally he would no longer look down on those rude people.
After Li Yanhong overturned things last time, Erchun didn't like Li Yanhong when he saw him, and he didn't pay attention to him, especially if this incident happened today, Erchun really annoyed Li Yanhong, no matter whether he was the chief in the future or not, he didn't plan to associate with him.
But at this moment, hearing the movement of him biting something and creaking, the anger in his heart was lightened, although Li Yanhong was rude, but he was straightforward, and he would not play any tricks behind his back, compared with those in the village who were kind on the face and secretly didn't know what to say, it was good.
After thinking about this, the complexion on Er Chun's face also eased, but he also remembered that even if he lived under one roof, he would be far away from Li Yanhong.
A large pot of bud rice paste, plus the potatoes and gourds in it, Erchun only ate two bowls and put the chopsticks, Old Man Zhang only ate two bowls of wine, and the rest went into Li Yanhong's stomach, put down the chopsticks, Li Yanhong also looked at Erchun with some embarrassment, so he was afraid that Erchun would say that he could eat the same.
Erchun glanced at him and got up to clean up the table, Li Yanhong also thought that she was too stingy, since she agreed to partner at home, where would she care about how much she ate.
After the meal, Old Man Zhang and Li Yanhong had to chat on the kang again, the words of the two were all about the original war, Erchun cleaned up in the outhouse, and when he heard his grandfather's laughter from time to time, Erchun also hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, the two lives together, grandpa laughed like this.
After washing his hands and boiling hot water, Erchun took the basin and put down the wooden pier and sat in the outhouse to wash his feet, his feet were put in warm water, and his whole body was comfortable as if the pores were opened, Erchun closed his eyes and squinted until he heard footsteps in his ears, and then he opened his eyes.
Raising his eyes to look over, he looked at Li Yanhong with a pair of bright eyes, those long and dark eyes were like a calm lake, without saying anything and not fluctuating at all, looking at you like this, he could suck you in, and with the dim light, Li Yanhong's upright facial features appeared clearer and clearer, his thin lips were pursed, and he stood there without speaking, revealing a touch of elegance and majesty.
Erchun only glanced at him lightly, and then withdrew his gaze, he looked good, but unfortunately his good appearance and good temperament were bad on that mouth, as soon as he opened his mouth, everything was broken.
Li Yanhong didn't say much, when he walked through the outhouse to the West House, his eyes did not move, he strode away, but the corner of his eyes was uncontrollably swept into the basin, and he could see a pair of white feet in the basin through the water, Li Yanhong couldn't help but think when he entered the West House and brought the door, seeing that girl is usually powerful, her feet are not big, and she is afraid that she is not as big as her own hands.
Thinking of this, Li Yanhong lowered his head and looked at his hands, there were calluses on the palms, and his hands were rough and tight, which was comparable to the feet in the basin.
Li Yanhong didn't know how long he had been staring at his hand, until he heard the movement in the outhouse, and knew that Erchun had finished washing, so he came back to his senses, spread the quilt and turned off the light and lay down, staring at the roof of the shed for a long time, and his ears were also listening to the movement outside.
I don't know when I fell asleep this night, the next day Li Yanhong opened his eyes and found that the sky was bright, and the village was full of chickens and dogs barking, Li Yanhong sat up, raised his hand and patted his head, he was late for the first time in so many years.
In the east room, Erchun had already eaten and sat on the kang to make shoes, and the shoes were almost half finished, Erchun calculated that he could finish it today, and when he heard the movement in the West House, Erchun shouted, "The food is in the pot, make it yourself." ”
"Yes." Li Yanhong responded.
Erchun didn't say more, heard the sound of laughter in the courtyard, Erchun looked up and saw Tian Xiaohui and Li Tiezhu coming together, Tian Xiaohui went into the house first, Li Tiezhu stood in the courtyard and talked to Old Man Zhang, said a few words to help cut the hay, Erchun heard that the door was opened, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Tian Xiaohui entered the house with a smile, "I walked to you in the morning, I happened to meet Li Tiezhu, I asked him where he was going early in the morning, he blushed first without saying anything, and he knew that he would come to your house at a glance." ”
Erchun didn't blush at her joke, and said with a smile, "The rations on the team are finished, and it looks like it's going to be winter, and your family is about to kill pigs, right?" ”
"Have you heard?" Tian Xiaohui moved his body to the kang and lowered his voice, "I heard that there are educated youths in the countryside in the commune, and there are other communes, so the next batch will be assigned to our commune." ”
Erchun was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face faded significantly, and his body was a little stiff, "Really?" ”
It is not this time for the educated youth to go to the countryside in the previous life, it is the coldest time in winter, Erchun remembers that there were a lot of things at that time, but he didn't expect that this life was earlier than the time in the previous life.
Tian Xiaohui was not careful, he didn't notice Erchun's mistake, and said excitedly, "Yes, I listened to what my dad said, isn't there no teacher in our village elementary school?" Bring a few to our village, and arrange for them to live in the captain's house, and the meal is every day. I heard that the educated youth are all college students in the city, I don't know what they look like? I don't know if it's a male or a female intellectual. ”
Tian Xiaohui looked excited.
Erchun's heart has calmed down, "But it's the same as us, what's so strange, the people in the city eat not the grain we grow." ”
Thinking of the ending of Tian Xiaohui in the previous life, the two of them touched each other for a while, and Erchun himself did not take the back road, nor did he want Tian Xiaohui to take the road of his previous life.
