Chapter Seventy-Six: School Begins
Guangwen's gift was never sent, and it caused a sour nose.
It was a beautiful bow flower, black and white woolen fabric, like butterflies dancing on a country rape flower. Guangwen had already taken care of this gadget, and he imagined countless times that a woman like Shufen was like a flower, with such a beautiful butterfly resting on her head, what a charming picture it was?
However, the owner of the headgear shop told him that this little thing was not cheap. Guangwen exchanged the meal tickets he had saved for a semester for money, and when he ran to the headwear store to buy them out of breath, there was only one left.
Shufen returned home, locked herself in the house like Brother Fushun, and cried a lot while covering the quilt.
When Shufei and her cousins returned to Yangjiawan, they saw that no one had moved the leftovers in the pot, and their parents didn't know where they went. Brother Fushun's door was closed, and the door of his bedroom was also closed. The inexplicable Shufei took a few mouthfuls of rice and went to the sixth uncle's house to play with Shuxiang's sister.
Shufen cried for about an hour, got up from the bed again, tore the two diaries with honeysuckle to pieces, and then squatted on the ground and continued to cry.
She never thought that Cousin Shuhua not only robbed her own job, but also snatched her own "little grandfather......
When she was on the street, because she was worried that Guangwen had some bad intentions, Shufen did not go to climb the mountain. Just as she was about to turn around and walk out into the street, two people came down the hill.
"Dr. He, why are you here?" Guangwen's voice made her turn again. However, the scene in front of her made tears of sadness, anger and disbelief slip over her hot face.
Dr. Ho was holding Shuhua's hand and walking down the mountain. Seeing Shufen turn around, she let go of her hand, Sister Shuhua blushed, lowered her head shyly, and a few fingers of her left hand were messing around in the palm of her right hand.
"Yang Shufen, Wang Guangwen? You ......" He Pan didn't finish speaking, Shufen had already run away crying.
Guangwen stood there dumbfounded, looking at Dr. He and Shufen's cousin, and then turned to look at Shufen's back, crumpling the bow in his right hand into a ball.
Shufen's cry attracted Fu Shun in the other room. The elder brother, who had just wiped away his tears and was writing a letter, heard the same heartbroken sobs. He got up and went to his sister's door and knocked lightly on the closed wooden door.
The cry inside paused, "Which one?" ”
"Shufen, what's wrong with you?" Fu Shun's feelings calmed down a little, and he pretended to greet calmly.
"It's okay, brother......"
Fu Shun returned to the house and continued to write to Xiang Yu. The paper ball has been kneaded to the ground, and each piece of paper has only a few simple words, written and painted, painted and written. Fushun really can't imitate those touching words, and he can't find the right words to express his heart. What's more, where should he send this letter? Can the things that my godfather brought back be transferred to Xiang Yu?
"'Ayuer'...... 'Fish-flavored shredded pork'...... Xiang Yu, "Fu Shun couldn't find a suitable title. But he knows that this girl who makes his heart twist is definitely no longer his best "buddy". He just wanted to see this equally heartbroken girl as soon as possible, and tell her that he would be willing to marry her if he still had a chance.
This time, reason finally triumphed over impulse. He didn't say goodbye, thinking of this broken home, thinking of Gui Ying's mother, and his adoptive parents who worked day and night.
He picked up the letterheads again, wiped them one by one, and found the lesson plan brought by Teacher Zheng from the book brought back by his godfather. He wanted to use knowledge to dilute the bitterness of life as usual, but it was all in vain, and those formulas and architectural drawings that were originally full of magic were all stick figures of Xiang Yu at the moment.
As night fell, the sound of Yang Zegui's crutches on the ground made the two children wipe away their tears and come to the hall.
For their family, New Year's Day is the only month of the year when they can eat dinner. There were many poor peasants in Shiqiao, and it was nine or ten o'clock in the morning when they came back from their work, and they went to the fields after making some breakfast, and came back at four o'clock in the afternoon to make a meal. Twice a day has become a habit. If the nights are long in winter, the children will always be awakened hungry in the middle of the night.
The dinner that should have been fragrant became tasteless, and Yang Zegui was alone with the pork liver left over from the Chinese New Year's Eve, drinking a small half glass of white wine alone, very satisfied.
Shu Fenniang found the red and swollen eyes of the two children, and kicked the hammer with her foot under the table.
Yang Zegui raised his head and saw the woman's eyes. He slowly put down the cup and sandwiched a piece of pork liver for Fushun. The head of the family hasn't figured out what's going on. "Fushun and Shufen, did your two sisters quarrel?"
The two children were silent with their heads bowed, and the rice in the bowl did not move at all. They couldn't say anything, and they didn't know where to start. Seeing that his father's face sank, they picked up the chopsticks together and shaved some food into their mouths.
"I don't know! I didn't go all the way with them! Shufei saw her father looking at her again and quickly clarified.
In the evening, Shufen continued to cry under the covers. Shufei didn't know how to comfort her sister, this was the second time she had been in such a situation. The little sister simply found two pieces of waste paper and slept with her ears plugged!
Shufen's dream was completely shattered. She saw with her own eyes that He Pan's big hands held Sister Shuhua's small hands, and Sister Shuhua's smile was so bright, so satisfied, and so intoxicated. Those who thought that their happiness was just a dream, that handsome "little grandfather", who could ignore the patients in the hospital and go climbing with his cousin, it can be seen that his cousin is already very important to him.
Moreover, the power station is just below He Pan's house, and my cousin has been there for more than a year, so maybe they have been getting along for a long time. Also, the ribbon cutting at the power station that day, this doctor who didn't like to be lively actually went, he must have gone to see his cousin in a red jacket.
Only themselves, only themselves are stupidly kept in the dark. I thought that if I was a little older, I could muster up the courage to break through the shackles, that charming smile would only be reserved for myself, that I could wipe the sweat drops for him when he put on the white coat......
In contrast, Fushun is much happier. At least the people he likes also like him, and even if he did, it was much more real than his sister's fantasy diary. But he didn't know this, and he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds when he tossed and turned in bed......
--------
Shufen continued like this for half a month, until the pear tree behind the house bloomed, until Nie Renhao arrived with hundreds of pear seedlings.
Fushun also absentmindedly led the little ox to cultivate the dry land. He also began to learn to draw stick figures with a ballpoint pen, and he always wanted to paint his work in Yangjiawan into such an atlas, telling Sù "Ayuer" about his own bits and pieces. He was also looking forward to Xiang Yu's reply, because he had already taken the initiative to invite Xiang Yu to come here during the summer vacation.
Xiang Yu soon returned to Jiangyun from Sanya. Before receiving Fushun's letter in response to his love, he first received the "list" that Uncle Liu brought back, and compared the "list", Xiang Yu took the half-basket of souvenirs and invited Uncle Liu into the house.
Xiang Yu's heart was overjoyed, and at noon he shouted for his mother to make a meal of bacon. She didn't know what kind of waves her brilliant "comic book" had caused in Fushun's heart. Dropping the dishes and chopsticks, she went back to the study and drew on the half-painted homework book. She has become accustomed to healing herself in this way, and believes that one day, "Silly Boy" will return to "Tomboy" - not to mention that he has not gone far at all.
School will start soon, and Xiangyu is looking forward to Guangwen bringing back another letter from Shiqiao. Unexpectedly, Wang Guangwen arrived at school empty-handed, and he didn't bother to say a word to Xiangyu.
"Wang Guangwen, have you seen the 'genius'?"
"See!" Guangwen said lightly. He saw it once on the third day of junior high school, and when he brought him the books later, he didn't see Fushun and Shufen until it was almost dark, and the books were all placed at the township government.
"Did you give him the letter?"
"Given!"
"What's his reaction?"
"No reaction!"
"What?"
"No reaction!!" Guangwen thought of Shufen he saw standing on the stone bridge again, and his heart ached faintly, he already clearly felt that Shufen liked that Doctor He. But he didn't plan to give up, didn't that Dr. He already have a relationship?
"You're a liar too!" Xiang Yu angrily smashed his fist on Guangwen's shoulder, causing him to frown in pain.
"Li Xiangyu, do you like Liu Fushun?"
Xiang Yu was about to walk away, when he heard this question and turned back. "Did you peek at the letter?"
"What's the letter? Oh, I'm not so mean! ”
"If you like it, it's none of your business. By the way, you're in the student council, so you don't care about it, right? ”
"I'll only care if I eat too much! I want to sue you, don't let him run away if you like it, in our countryside, there is no "Marriage Law", and there are many people who get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen! ”
"'Genius' wants to get married?"
"Forget it, the female doll in the countryside doesn't look down on him, a stuffy gourd, in our words there, it's 'hapoke poke', only fools can look at it!"
"You say the old lady is a fool?!" The heavy fist landed in the same place again, and Hirobun almost screamed.
"I'm not saying that you, in our rural area, if you want to play friends, you have to sing mountain songs, you have to be able to play tricks, you look at him, he can't do anything. It's delicious in the city! ”
"That's why you rural people are dirty! Hey, by the way, didn't you say that Yang Guiying in their village liked her very much? This is a rumor that Xiang Yu heard on the dock, and sometimes he will be jealous of this rural girl who has never seen her at all.
"Yang Guiying? We've never seen each other. I'm serious, in fact, the 'genius' is really good, filial and capable, and I think he likes you too! ”
"Really?" Xiang Yu finally smiled when he heard this conclusion, "Tell me, where did you see that he likes me?" ”
"After I gave him your letter that day, I saw that he was about to cry, and he didn't go shopping, and I ...... with his sister"
"Didn't you say he didn't react?" As soon as Xiang Yu raised his fist this time, Guangwen dodged it.
"Didn't I reminisce again?"
"Well, let him cry, cry enough, cry enough and come back to me when he has cried enough!" Xiang Yu's tears were about to fall out, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and said loudly: "You and his sister? Haha, I'll just say you're wrong, I saw you send a letter to what Zi Shufen, haha......"
