Chapter 111: White Lotus
In the rural areas of Jiacang, as long as the parents are still alive, they are not qualified to do longevity (birthdays), so the annual birth anniversary is just a sign of being one year older for most rural people.
Although Fushun's father and mother died early, the word "birthday" has no special meaning to a doll from a poor family. According to the calculation of his hometown, from tomorrow, he will already be considered to be twenty years old at the age of nineteen. If he was in Shiqiao, he should ask the matchmaker to look for the girl everywhere, and after a series of procedures, he would take the mother-in-law home.
Fu Shun had forgotten how long it had been since he had gone to the beach to throw the drifting bottle, and Xiang Yu's appearance was becoming more and more blurry in his mind, as well as those interesting comic strips, which had long been thrown into the middle of nowhere by the hateful thieves. That once beautiful "love" may have become a sacrifice of youth.
Time is like a river that flows quietly, and the torrent of youth eventually tends to calm down, or settles at the bottom of the water, or flows to the sea with the years. The boiling youth makes people brave, and we begin to learn to challenge ourselves; The precipitation of youth makes people mature, and we begin to learn to know ourselves.
"Youth" is too strange to Fushun. Although he has "rebellious" blood in his bones, no one wants to label him as a true rebel. No matter how far he went, he left the corner of his heart with his hometown; No matter how much he went through, he left the most ambitious ambition in his heart to his dreams.
And the cleanest place in his heart, he still leaves love. The imprint of youth has left him with too much pain, and the footsteps he has chased day and night have not yet found his direction, maybe she is just a hurried passerby, and this morning another sweetheart has forgotten all about this poor boy from the countryside. Although he believed that she would eventually return to Hercyni, who would take her by the hand and stroll along the sandy beaches and count the beautiful seagulls? Who would let her lean on her shoulder? Who will stare into her eyes?
Thinking of his eyes, what flashed in Fushun's mind was Ma Yunmei's big eyes that could speak. It was two crystal clear springs, and like the stars shining in the night skyโthe girl like the sea, as clean as the blue sky; That god-like woman is as pure as the legendary reed fairy on Yangming Island......
Fushun's heartbeat accelerated again, just like sitting on the back seat of Yunmei's bicycle that day.
Ms. Ma wore a crisp white skirt and pedaled a permanent bicycle that contrasted with her petite stature. When the bicycle stopped in front of Fushun, the lotus-like skirt swayed with the sea breeze, and the over-the-shoulder hair poured in the sun, that kind of faint elegance, that kind of dignified beauty, made this black and dirty poor boy speechless for a while.
"Do you know how to ride a bike?" The lips of the "White Lotus" moved slightly, and the refreshing fragrance came to the face.
"I won't...... What about Jun Yong? "The fragrance didn't drown out the mania of summer, but made him even hotter.
"He's gone to buy some snacks, let me pick you up......"
"Then you put your bike on the construction site and we'll walk over there, shall we?"
"It's okay, come up, I'll take you!"
"Forget it......" Fu Shun patted the dirt on his body - in fact, he had already changed into very clean clothes.
Yunmei suddenly laughed, like a hibiscus in full bloom, and the delicate stamens fluttered in the wind. "Come on, what's embarrassing? Hurry up, Junyong is still waiting for us! โ
Fushun sat down in the back seat nervously, his trembling hands not knowing where to put it, for fear that his yellowed fingers and dusty shirt would stain the girl's white dress. Unexpectedly, the small and delicate Yunmei, carrying a man of more than 100 pounds, drove a bicycle in a light car and quickly arrived at the destination.
The little hand that was as tender as snow finally reached Junyong's side. The close lovers already regarded Fushun as their best friend - in front of their friends, they naturally held hands.
That night, Yunmei and her vocal ensemble performed in the school's auditorium. Junyong and Fushun became the audience in the front row, and every scene that appeared and every song ended attracted bursts of applause. Participating in such a concert is the first time in Fushun's life, this young man who can't even understand mountain songs in Yangjiawan is so attentive to the sounds of this auditorium, staring at Yunmei, whose costumes are ever-changing and her voice is changing back and forth. As the music goes up and down, his heart also fluctuates, as if he is in a gorgeous fairy tale world.
Junyong often invites Fushun to his dormitory. Fushun also knew that a good girl like Yunmei did not live with Junyong or live in school, but lived in the Huajian cadre dormitory on Xuantong North Street, which was more than ten stops away from here. Yunmei and Junyong don't have much time to meet, and only on weekends will the two of them walk and chat together......
Yunmei hopes that Junyong will study and go to university on his own, but Junyong may be a little disgusted by this request, and he really doesn't want to go to school. For this reason, Jun Yong took Fu Shun to drink a meal, muttering that Ma Yunmei might look down on him as a secondary school student, and the undercooked duck would have to fly sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Fushun felt very uncomfortable......
Early the next morning, Fushun went to the supervisor and asked for leave. Then with Junyong and a few friends of Yunmei, they took a ferry to Yangming Island. The white ferry is speeding on the sea, and in less than half an hour, the west pier of Yangming Island is presented in front of you.
The paradise in the dream, the vegetable farmland, the tranquil Jiangnan manor, the green reeds around the island, the undulating golden wheat fields - what a beautiful dream of Jiangnan! Dotted with cement roads connect dense villages, and countless ditches irrigate thousands of acres of fertile land!
Today's Yunmei suddenly changed her style in dressing, her draped hair was tied up, and her favorite white color was replaced by a floral plaid shirt and jeans. Along the way, she and her classmates were singing loudly, from "The Sea, My Hometown" to "Young Friends Come to Meet", from "Fifteenth Moon" to "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom", the students of the music department are always at the forefront of pop music, and the crisp singing and the waves play the most beautiful music in the world.
Fu Shun doesn't sing, and sometimes he's embarrassed by couples, but he doesn't get tired of such outings. He envies these peers who can lead and sing in the years of flowers; He was proud to be with these highly educated students, which made him forget for a while that he was a temporary brick mover. The students would make fun of him, and Junyong would proudly introduce his "genius" classmate.
But college students in the city still look down on these two secondary school students from the countryside. These "singers" of the music department all come from privileged families. In addition to Yunmei, the other five girls also found college students, and Junyong couldn't help but feel a little inferior - this is probably one of the reasons why Junyong wanted to call Fushun!
Ma Yunmei does not feel ashamed of finding a country boyfriend, but feels that her choice is more rational and realistic. In terms of economic conditions, Junyong is definitely not as good as these "sons" who consume more than his monthly salary, but every penny Junyong spends is earned by his hard-working hands; At the same time, he will also plan for the future, save most of his income, and slowly build a world that belongs to the two of them with more practical actions.
After a bus ride, they came to the east shore of the island. The morning glow casts a thin veil, and a wonderful sandy beach is presented in front of everyone's eyes. The long-term waves wash the yellow sand into smooth and delicate skin, and after thousands of years of screening, the beach is exceptionally soft and moist, and the waves quietly come and retreat. Such a quiet sun and beach, such a warm wave and coast, can never be seen in Haixi City.
No, the university students changed into swimsuits and threw themselves into the arms of the sea together. The stunned Fushun stood on the shore, watching these open female students, just wearing "underwear and underwear" in front of men, laughing and singing an incomprehensible English song, swimming in the blue water.
Yunmei's is also the same as other girls, her smooth skin is exposed in front of everyone, and she can't see a single flaw on her body, and the bulging hill on her chest fluctuates with the sea, forming a perfect "S curve" with her slender waist and plump buttocks.
Junyong, like the other boys in the city, stripped down to only a pair of shorts. If it is on the stone bridge, it is not surprising that a male doll under the age of ten will strip naked and jump into the river. But after all, everyone is an adult, so it is too "shameless" to "be honest with each other".
The red-faced Fushun didn't join them, and he couldn't get used to the birthday party of this beach.
"Fushun, come over and change into swimming trunks and go ......swimming in the sea," Junyong beckoned in front of a curtain that the college students had just set up.
"I'm not coming, I'm going around, you guys are ......"
Jun Yong didn't leave this friend behind, he came and pulled Fu Shun and walked behind the curtain - he had prepared a pair of swimming trunks for Fu Shun before he came. "Maybe you're still shy, aren't you? What are you afraid of if you are on the construction site, bare-chested? โ
"There are no women on the construction site......"
Junyong ignored it and reached out to help Fu Shun unbutton his shirt. Fu Shun changed into swimming trunks, was pulled to the beach by Jun Yong, and threw himself into the sea with a fierce kick.
The "plop" surprised his friends, and then laughed - Fu Shun used the standard country "dog planer" to flutter in the sea, and the bitter sea water choked him before he could catch his breath.
"You're crazy, what if people can't swim?" The icy and jade Yunmei swam to Fu Shun and saw him fluttering in the sea, and after making sure that Fu Shun could swim, she turned around and blamed Jun Yong who was smiling on the shore.
Jun Yong also jumped into the water with a pounce, because the sea water had just lost his waist, and he coldly picked up his dear Mei Mei and enjoyed the gift of love in the sea water......
The sun has become scorching. **Individuals poured into the reeds, and everyone carefully prepared birthday gifts for Yunmei, including cute hugging bears, exquisite trinkets, and greeting cards to sing about......
Jun Yong's gift is extraordinarily special. It was a heart-shaped stone necklace, and on the small stone was his carefully carved text, the text was the name of the lovers, and a delicate red rope passed through the small hole, and was hung by Jun Yong on the lover's Ruyu's neck with affection.
Junyong said: "My surname is Shi, this little stone is me, from today onwards, I will accompany you wholeheartedly through every day in the future......"
