Chapter 115: Thunderstorm Night
Let's re-examine Guangwen's feelings for Shufen!
We know that Guangwen was originally a poetic peasant, and there are many words with a lot of comic colors in his pen. Although he is a small farmer who has returned to his hometown, there is still a poet living in his inner world. He thought that he could write great works in his own Baiyangdian Lake like the writer Sun Li.
But this farmer who "has his mouth facing the yellow mud and his back to the sky" every day, and his most proud work is a love poem written for the most beautiful girl in his heart. Of course, these lovesickness under the kerosene lamp has not yet been seen by the heroine, who fulfills their promises to each other, disguises himself as the best friend, and hides the most fiery impulses in his heart.
The capable woman director is like a tireless swallow every day, flying freely in the sky. Guangwen fantasizes about building a nest for the swallow, and as long as she wants, this nest is not impossible to build in Yangjiawan. Unexpectedly, a fire broke the swallow's wings, and she wrapped herself tightly with spit and mud, and her fragile heart was dripping blood every day, and the coagulated blood almost suffocated her.
At the moment when he saw his beloved girl disfigured, Guangwen's inner world fluctuated. He didn't want to believe that the beloved swallow would say goodbye to the sky, but ah, the majestic blue sky was ruthlessly dimmed, enveloping the inner world of the two people.
He firmly believes that the most holy magnolia flower will still shine in the sun in the summer of the next year. However, the medicine of time did not help in the face of the scars—she still hid in the darkest corners, hoping for a heavy rain to wash away the scars on her body and give birth to the black hair on the top of her head. But the amorous Guangwen turned himself into an umbrella, and silently sheltered her from the wind and rain.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Shufen stood in the rain and looked at Guangwen holding an umbrella.
The rain was dripping on the umbrella, and Guangwen said: "You are my best friend, you were in the past, you are now, and you will be in the future!" ”
"But I'm so ugly now, even a child will avoid me when he sees me!"
"So they are still children, and when they grow up, they will know how ignorant they are!"
"You are the one who is foolish! When you grow up, you'll regret it! ”
"So I wanted to try, I said it ten thousand times in my heart - I'll wait for you. When I'm grown up—when I'm twenty-two—I'll pick you up and marry you officially!" ”
The torrential rain was still pouring down, drowning Shufen's ankles. Guangwen suddenly threw away the umbrella in his hand. "You said you like to be drenched in the rain, I have been blocking you, today, I am with you, the rain is heavier, wash away those gossips, wash away the teardrops in the corners of your eyes - after the heavy rain, I will accompany you to see the most beautiful morning light......"
With a thunderclap, Guangwen woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and found the most beautiful eyes in the night. This kind of poetic confession, he has practiced countless times in his dreams, but in the real world, he has lost his courage.
Also not sleeping was the frightened swallow at the foot of the inkstone mountain. She curled up in a thin sheet, the terrifying thunder making her tremble. Because Shufei has to study at night, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to.
Shufen turned on the light. Despite the wind and rain outside the window, the sultry air still suffocated her. This year's summer was rainy, and she was glad that all the fruits in the pear orchard had been sold, but she was also worried about the rice flowers in the field.
The successive thunders made her sleepless, and the young man who came to the door twice in three days came to her heart again. She didn't know how to understand Brother Guangwen's courtesy, maybe it was just a friend-like pity, right? It's like a ligature in the village, who sympathizes with a weak person with a kind deed.
But that's obviously beyond sympathy. She is reluctant to associate Guangwen's behavior with love. Although the mirrors in the house had been put away, she could see her disfigured face in the reflection of the water tank. That's a face that she doesn't want to accept, what reason does she have to hope for a beautiful love?
Shufen's tears were as dripping as the rain outside. She struggled to find a letter from the box, the only one left of all the love poems that Brother Guangwen had ever had-
I stood by the crooked river
Find your most beautiful appearance from the reflection
The boat rows across your amorous face
Out of the corner of your eye
Cleanse the crystal clear waves
I stood by the crooked river
Find your best look in the sun
Little swallows fly over your thin shoulders
The corners of your mouth
The fragrance of the crescent moon rises
……
Shufen's heart was full of unexplained sourness. Since the burns, her dusty diary has been opened again, which not only writes her mental journey, but is also the best way for her to vent her boredom. Because of these words, her fragile heart began to become stronger, and she picked up those long-lost sentences like picking up ears of grain in a rice field.
If you're like them
Sing amorous mountain songs
so
I'll be here too
But I'm afraid
This hoarse throat
I can no longer sing the joy of the past
So
I'd rather just hide in a dark corner
I send you a blessed flower bone
……
The morning light finally showed its belly from the east, but it was not the girl in her dream who accompanied Guangwen.
Liulong Township is in the upper reaches of Chahe Township, and Sister Guangwen's in-law's house is on Liulong Street, and today she wants to introduce a daughter-in-law to her younger brother.
Guangwen was a hundred reluctant in his heart, but he was still "escorted" by his mother into Liulong's small restaurant. The elder sister was with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl early and sat there waiting for him.
"Brother, this is Ding Ping. I've told you about it before, sit down! "Guangwen's sister is also a beauty, and the little girl named Ding Ping is a lot inferior in front of her sister. But it's also everyone's best girl, and she has been playing with her pigtails with her head down. "This is my brother Wang Guangwen, who got his secondary school graduation certificate and hasn't gone to work yet!"
After my sister finished speaking, she pulled up the mother who was about to sit down, made a look and walked out.
Guangwen sat down, deliberately crossed Erlang's legs, did not talk to the girl, and did not ask the boss to order. Ding Ping, who had a ruddy face, raised her head and looked at this tall and strong young man, with a satisfied look on her face.
"What are you eating?" The girl finally spoke first—after all, it was her own territory.
"I'm not hungry, look at you!" Guangwen replied, the attitude was not cold, nor was it enthusiastic. After all, in front of the little girl, you can't just get up and leave, right? Guangwen glanced at the girl opposite, and the long braids were on his shoulders, which reminded him of Shufen a few years ago.
The girl got up and added some tea, "I heard Sister Guangxiu say, have you studied in Jiangyun?" ”
"Oh, I've been reading for a few years, I've read it in vain, and I'm back to engage in agriculture."
"It's amazing to be able to go to a big city to study! Like me, I can't even get into high school! Why don't you go to work in the public after you finish your secondary school? ”
"Hazi's mother-in-law's family, I now belong to my own family, how free! What about you, what are you doing? ”
"Got a haircut on the street and opened a barber shop of your own!"
"Individuals?"
"Hmm!"
"Then you don't look down on me, a local farmer, and I don't have any skills! I have something to do to go first, and today on the spot, you are also busy in the barber room, so I won't delay your time! Guangwen patted his ass and left. Ding Ping, this girl, may have never been so atmospheric, sitting alone in the hall and crying.
Guangwen didn't go to his sister and mother, he went to the agricultural technology station to buy fertilizer, and prepared to take the boat home.
As soon as he arrived at the dock, he ran into Shufen's brother-in-law Xie Guoqiang. "Brother Guoqiang, why are you here to catch up with the Six Dragons, so far?"
"Guangwen? I'll meet personally. Are you leaving? ”
"Ready to go, you won't leave if you come, let's find a place to drink!" Guangwen was happy all of a sudden, sent a hundred catties of fertilizer to the dock, pulled up Guoqiang and walked to the restaurant that he had just come out. Before he entered the door, he opened his voice: "Boss, half a catty of pork brainshell meat, a plate of boiled beans, and two bowls of cold noodles...... Hey, why are you still here? Guangwen saw Ding Ping, who was still wiping tears, and suddenly became embarrassed.
"Acquaintances?" Guoqiang smiled hesitantly.
"Hey, hey!" Guangwen also laughed, "This is Brother Guoqiang, that ...... Let's eat together, just now I went to pick up my brother......"
"I'm going back to getting a haircut!" The girl walked out angrily, deliberately provoking him with these words!
"No matter her, hehe, sit up, Brother Guoqiang, who will you be?"
"I'm sorry to talk about it, a brother I know in there. Fish farming in Liulong, I'm going to try my luck today, see if he sells fish on the street? ”
"You've traveled all this way to buy fish? I knew I would catch a few for you! ”
"No, I'm going to build a fish pond and learn from Ha'er!"
"Okay! Brother Guoqiang, it seems that you are going to do a big business! Why don't you go over there first to see if the fish seller has any of you know, order two more dishes at once, sit up and swing slowly. ”
"Gotta get it!" Guoqiang got up and left, and after a while, he really brought a man from the bustling crowd. However, the man was followed by the poor Ding Ping.
Ding Ping was wronged and ran to her brother to cry her nose. It's such a coincidence, Ding Ping's brother is Ding Sheng, a fishmonger that Guoqiang met in prison......
"Brother, it's him, bullying people......" Ding Ping was still crying, Guoqiang and Ding Sheng looked at each other, and then laughed.
"Your kid is Wang Guangwen, right? You're still amazing, my sister is not worthy of you......" Ding Sheng was full of fishy smell, and opened his voice at Guangwen.
"Okay, let's meet brothers, don't go that far! Guangwen is also my good brother...... Brother Sheng, sit up, sister, you also sit, Guangwen wants two more dishes, and a pound of liquor to ......"
"Today I look at the faces of my country's strong brothers! Sister, sit down, I see that he is still bullying you! He sat down and drank half a bowl of tea.
Guangwen sweat beads fell to the ground. It's really evil today, why can't you still be separated from this Ding Ping......
