Chapter 14 Learning to Taste Tea I
After the final exams, a long vacation followed, but during this period, Ge Hailiu didn't know how to survive in a daze.
During this holiday, my father was still busy with his affairs at the construction site of Siyuan Middle School as he had done in the previous five or six months, and it was needless to say that he could take time to come back once in ten days and a half months.
Before the school holiday, Ge Hailiu begged Aunt Qiu Yun several times to accompany her in the old mansion in Shiting Village, but she didn't think "I want more when I get it, this is excessive greed, including getting along with people." "It is to use" what your heart desires, and what your aunt expects, however, you can't give up your adherence to tradition at will because of emotional needs. "to excuse it.
Ge Hailiu also knew clearly in his heart that what Aunt Qiu Yun said was right, at least in this era when tradition is still the mainstream, it should be like this. It's just that after a month or two of getting along, the relationship established between each other has become inseparable, so they ask the same question three and twice. In fact, what Aunt Qiu Yun thinks in her heart, why is it not like this? It's just that the restraint of adults can better suppress people's desires.
On the seventh day after the end of the final exams, Ge Hailiu didn't bother to inquire and care, and in what dimension did "God" create a world, so he hurried to the school, two hours earlier than the scheduled time to receive the score book. Of course, rushing to school so early is not in a hurry to see your grades, because this grade is the best in the class.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Aunt Qiu Yun seemed to know that Ge Hailiu was going to come in advance, and just scalded two bowls of premature rice noodles, and the people arrived. At the moment of meeting, Ge Hailiu greeted him in a sweet, weeping, and trembling voice, "Auntie, I miss you!" She only felt a sour heart, so she squatted down and hugged Ge Hailiu tightly, and couldn't help kissing Ge Hailiu who was at a loss.
This kiss first made Ge Hailiu feel a blank in consciousness, and then, there was a very tempting magnetic force that continued to attract him, as if to lead people into a wonderful and unknown realm, but the sense of self-blame for no reason became stronger and stronger, as if there were many voices in people's ears complaining vigorously "Ge Hailiu, how can you accept such 'love', she is your aunt and your teacher!" After Aunt Qiu Yun found that her emotions were out of control, she closed her eyes with a blush, and motioned to Ge Hailiu to learn to kiss her once, but Ge Hailiu said shyly: "Auntie, let's eat rice noodles, my stomach is hungry." ”
Even so, Aunt Qiu Yun did not promise in the end, and went to the old house in Shiting Village to accompany the lonely Song Hailiu. But fortunately, a holiday is only more than 40 days, and no matter how difficult it is, the infinite thoughts of each other have finally passed.
Siyuan Middle School, which my father has been tireless and selfless for more than half a year, was completed and cut the ribbon on August 31, and officially accepted the first batch of students on September 1, and my father was also appointed as the first principal of Siyuan Middle School by the county.
In my father's opinion, it didn't matter whether he was the principal or not, but he felt that he had fulfilled a task assigned by the party and the government with honor, and had made his studies useful. Aunt Qiu Yun believes that it should be a good thing to be the principal, at least the father will not move the place of work once a year and a half as in the past, although there is nothing bad about this, but it makes it difficult for people to settle down, and when the principal is the principal, he also has the glorious title of "people's teacher", which is a good start for the country to respect knowledge and reuse talents, or a good signal.
From the start of school on September 1 to the National Day on October 1, my father has been trying his best to persuade Aunt Qiu Yun, hoping that she will give up her decision, but she has consistently insisted: "In this world, Qiu Yun only has two relatives who are difficult to give up, and he can no longer fit anyone except relatives in his heart, if Brother Daren is unwilling to marry his little sister, then Qiu Yun will never marry!" ”
In fact, Aunt Qiu Yun is not persecuting her father, she has developed from the initial feelings of admiration, gratitude, and gratitude to the emotions of love step by step. Moreover, it took her two years to cultivate a mutually acceptable rapport with Ge Hailiu before she proposed to match each other. It's just that her father thinks from another point of view that she should choose a better home.
Although my father has been persuading, in mid-September, he still accompanied Aunt Qiu Yun to the provincial capital to take wedding photos, and ordered a set of the latest style of white wedding dresses according to Aunt Qiu Yun's wishes, and purchased many essential items for marriage. During this period, only black and white photographs could be taken, and because they were wedding photos, my father also asked the artist to color all the photos he took, although this was a considerable gap from the color photographs that appeared more than ten years later, but it was the most fashionable and avant-garde at the time.
On the day of the National Day, Aunt Qiu Yun wore the most beautiful wedding dress in her life, wore the most luxurious pointed red leather shoes at that time, and dressed up like a princess, and happily held a wedding with her Daren brother in Siyuan Middle School. The best men and bridesmaids were two of Qiu Yun's college classmates, and the boy and girl were two students from Qingshuihe Elementary School. Although there was no welcome motorcade and no military band playing the wedding march, firecrackers were set off for a quarter of an hour, making the wedding truly festive.
Of course, the marriage during this period was quite simple, and all the expenses were only about 300 yuan. The wedding banquet was booked in the school cafeteria for more than a dozen tables, and the banquet invited relatives and friends who came to congratulate, as for the gift money received, there was one yuan and two yuan, and the best relationship was five yuan, which was already a very heavy gift.
The wedding room is not pretty, but it is spacious, and the new three-bedroom home, although the furniture is not too much, has all the functions of a home. This new home is truly new, because the house has just been completed, and the beds and bedding and furniture and furnishings in the wedding room are all new. In addition, the furniture and items in the study, kitchen, and bedroom of the old house in Shiting Village have been moved into the corresponding houses of the new house, but after being sorted, organized, and cleaned, they feel completely new.
When Ge Hailiu heard Aunt Qiu Yun say that "what people are most attached to is home", he only felt that it was good to say that it was good to really understand the connotation of this sentence after this new home was established.
Every afternoon after school, Aunt Qiu Yun rode her bicycle and eagerly carried Ge Hailiu home, although there were talks and laughter along the way, but they were not as happy as returning home. Every day when Ge Hailiu and Aunt Qiu Yun return home, their father has already prepared the meal, and even the hot water for washing their hands and face is ready, and as soon as they enter the house, their father will kindly hug Aunt Qiu Yun first, and then Ge Hailiu, as a sign of welcome and greetings to the safe return of his family.
Every day after dinner, if the weather is good, my father and Aunt Qiu Yun always lead Ge Hailiu to walk around the campus with laughter and laughter, breathe in the fresh air to their heart's content, and appreciate the "masterpieces" built by him over and over again. If the weather is bad, the family will sit around in front of the coffee table in the living room, drink the cloud and mist hairtips that everyone likes, and chat for forty or fifty minutes before they go about their own business.
