There are 20 prefectures in Dajing, among which Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture are collectively referred to as the "Two Lakes", which are the famous land of fish and rice and the important land of sericulture. There are eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of Huzhou, and this story takes place in Xiazhao County, Jingtai Prefecture, at the junction of the two lakes, and the source originates from the Guo family in Luwan Village, Wuyou Town.

In mid-July, the rice in the fields has been harvested, the empty fields and cotton and other crops are yellow and green, and there are more waterways that extend in all directions, and several smoke villages and water towns are dotted in between, like a splendid and vivid brocade, and in the distance, the verdant mountains can be seen vividly.

Green Bay Village is surrounded by green water, and the villagers all live by the water.

It was breakfast time, and smoke was curling from the rooftops of every house.

Today, Green Bay Village does not seem to be very peaceful, whether it is the daughter-in-law who is doing housework at home, or the man who is cleaning up the crops in the field, they all gather together to discuss a major matter:

"Have you heard? The Li family's red dates are pregnant! ”

"I heard a shadow yesterday. It's true? ”

"How not really! It's all drums so high. I can't cover it in a coat. ”

As he spoke, the speaker gestured with his hand in front of his stomach for everyone to see.

"Ouch! Futian, this baby is really evil. Didn't he marry the Guo family's dumb people? ”

"Who's to say it isn't! It's okay now, old man Guo is so easy to provoke! ”

"Fukuda, that kid is dizzy! Don't put the good-looking and dull dumb, what are you going to do to provoke red dates? How thick the Guo family is! I feel sorry for this old girl the most, and she is raised like a young lady. On weekdays, except for doing some housework, I stay upstairs to weave brocade, never go out much, and raise white and tender. Not better than Li red jujube? ”

"Hey, you're young and ignorant!" The person who said it suddenly looked around, and then lowered his voice, "Don't look at the girl who is only a teenager, she speaks loudly, her eyes are hooked, and she twists her ass and plate when she walks, how can she stand it if she has nothing to do with the male doll." ”

"Look, the Guo family can't let go of the Zhang family."

"Needless to say! Who are Guo Shouye's two sons? That's a top shrewd! The sons of the Guo family are not fuel-efficient lamps, and this time it will be a big trouble. It's not necessarily a human life! You say, will the Guo family sink red dates and Futian into the pig cage? ”

"Maybe it will."

"It's terrible, it's really going to die!"

……

Although people sighed and regretted, they were irrepressibly excited, as if they were looking forward to what would happen next.

The shortcomings of parents are always the condiments that reconcile people's lives.

Entering from the west of Luwan Village, along the embankment of a Huailiu sandwich road into the village, turning to the southeast corner of the village, you can see a belt of earth walls, in a semi-circular arc to the south to enclose a dozen acres of land.

This is the Guo family in the mouths of the villagers.

From the outside, the trees in the courtyard of the Guo family are verdant, and the eaves are faintly exposed in the forest, not like a farmer's house, but like a garden built by a large family, but after entering, I found that there are no pavilions and mansions inside.

The fruit trees in the courtyard are luxuriant, and the jujube skin on the jujube trees is flushed, and it is about to ripen. Under the woods, hens and chicks were strolling or pecking insects in the grass, and a gravel passage snaked deep into the woods.

Walking along the road to the house, you can clearly see the pattern of the east and west wings sandwiched between the north and the upper houses.

The south side has no houses or walls, and is completely open. In front of the door, a stone-paved path leads to the south, surrounded by bamboo fences on both sides, and all kinds of seasonal vegetables are growing vigorously. At the end of the road is water, with a wooden springboard at the water's edge, a laundry stone resting on it, and a mallet beside it. Ahead, the lotus leaves cover the white water, and the eyes are all emerald green. The north and south banks are full of abundant bamboo forests.

A "quack" sound came from downstream, it turned out to be a bamboo fence enclosing a piece of water, a group of ducks frolicking under the lotus, and the lotus leaves were trampled and broken a lot by them, far less dense than elsewhere; In the distance, there are a few big white geese floating leisurely; Coupled with the big yellow dog lying on the steps in front of the door, a qiē indicates that this is an authentic farmhouse, but the family is more prosperous.

At this time, the atmosphere in the east room on the second floor of the Guo family's upper room was calm.

This is a boudoir, and although the tables and chairs in the room are not delicate and valuable, they are also very complete and tidy. There was a pink gauze tent hanging on the shelf bed, washed a little white, like the cheeks of a person lying on the bed, losing its original color.

In front of the bed, Guo Shouye and his wife Wu looked at the old girl Guo Qing dumb and uncomfortable.

With the sound of footsteps "kicking" upstairs, a daughter-in-law walked in with a coarse porcelain cup.

When she came to the bedside, she reminded Wu softly: "Mother! ”

Wu Shi turned his head to look at her, hurriedly leaned over to the pillow, and called softly: "Dumb, dumb?" Your second sister-in-law stewed red dates and lotus seed soup, get up and eat it. ”

After a few calls, the person on the bed opened his eyes and looked at her quietly.

Wu Shiqiang laughed and coaxed: "Girl, let's not be sad!" Zhang Futian's beast thing, it's good if he can't marry him. If such a thing happens when you become a parent, it will be really bitter. Now it's okay, retire this parent, and your mother and your father will help you find a good family again. ”

Guo Shouye also looked at the little girl with an eager heart, and his eyes expressed the same meaning.

But they didn't know that their old girl was already in a lost soul and didn't know where she was.

The modern mute girl Guo Qingya crossed over and replaced Guo Qingdu.

Guo Qingya was born into a family of scholars, and her parents both taught at a university in Beijing.

Unable to speak by nature, she went to kindergarten on and off for two years before refusing to go to any school, and doctors diagnosed her with autism. So, her parents taught her at home. In addition to cultural classes, her father also taught her calligraphy and painting, and her mother taught her to play the guqin.

In the ever-changing modern age of information, she is more like a classical girl.

When she was eight years old, her mother said she had good grades and asked her if she wanted to go to school.

Qingya hurriedly shook her head, looking timid and very shrunken.

When she was 10 years old, her mother said that she was very talented at playing the piano and dancing, and asked her if she wanted to go to art school.

Qingya still shook her head, her expression was very firm.

When she was fifteen, her mother asked her if she wanted to go to high school and college.

Qingya still shook her head, this time her expression was very quiet.

When she was eighteen years old, her father said that she played the guqin very well and asked her if she wanted to be famous.

Qingya shook her head nonchalantly, with a quiet smile on her face.

Mom and Dad looked at each other and smiled.

Mom hugged her and said softly, "You can see through it, your father and I are really relieved." Although the vigorous life is moving, the ordinary is true! ”

Qingya was born with a disability, had low self-esteem in her childhood, and was reluctant to come into contact with people, so she was able to calm down and learn a qiē, and was able to freely use her talents. She has always been like a bystander, quietly paying attention to Hongchen's life. When you see through the hardship, emptiness and deceit behind the flowers and applause, you will no longer be obsessed with fame and fortune and the eyes of others.

She has a quiet and tranquil nature that her peers do not have.

This is "the lost east, the harvest of mulberry".

Later, she generously went out into society and opened a book room at the entrance of the attached middle school.

During the day, she sells books, reads, writes, and sometimes knits sweaters.

In the morning and evening, she would play the guqin in the room.

The neighbors were so used to hearing the piano that they couldn't tell whether she was playing or playing the record.

Sometimes, she dances in a soft tights to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, quietly raising her legs, stretching her arms, and spinning like a flower blooming quietly. It's her way of exercising, because she doesn't exercise so much.

The mute beauty is like a dark orchid, quietly walking through the campus.

At the age of twenty-two, Qingya had a boyfriend named Liu Zhen.

He was a student of his father and took good care of her.

Dad said: "In today's society, it is not easy to find a reliable boy. Liu Zhen was admitted from the countryside, simple and loyal, and can be entrusted for life. Dad can't be mistaken. ”

Qingya in love is looking forward to the future life. She is good at weaving clothes. helped me knit, also helped my parents knit, and later helped my boyfriend knit; Later, he knitted for children who didn't know where they were, from a few months old to seven or eight years old. Different seasons and different styles, save a few cabinets.

A qiē is so beautiful.

It ended on a summer night when she was twenty-four years old.

On this day, after getting off work from the bookstore, Qingya quietly strolled on the secluded path of the campus.

Suddenly, she heard the voices of a man and a woman talking under the tree in front of her, and the male voice was very familiar, it was her boyfriend Liu Zhen:

"This can't be rushed."

"Not in a hurry? Are you reluctant to give up that beautiful mute? ”

"How so!"

"Then why haven't you had a showdown with her until now?"

"I'm afraid of hurting her. Fei'er, Qingya is really kind and simple, and she can't speak, so I can't put my mind to it. If I were such a ruthless person, would you still like me? ”

"But sooner or later, it will have to be said. Better a finger off than always aching. Unless you lie to me! ”

"Fei'er, why should I lie to you! Qingya is very beautiful, very elegant, can play the piano......"

"She's so good, you're chasing me blindly?"

"Hey, why don't you listen to me? It's good to be elegant, but it's a pity that I'm just a vulgar person, and I can't afford her! When I first talked about it, I was quite tempting, but after a long time, my enthusiasm was gone. If you think about it, two people face each other all day, and no matter how much you say, no one responds - no, there is also an echo, she plays the piano. Listening to "Mountains and Flowing Water" and looking at the high-rise buildings outside the window, how do you think I feel? No matter how good it sounds, I'm tired of hearing it! I might as well listen to rock and roll. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't even kissed her! - I didn't dare to kiss her, and I didn't have that passion. She was like that, and she said that it was elegant to hear, but it was like a living dead when it was ugly, unreal, cold and not a little hot—" The man whispered as he stroked the plump breasts of the woman in his arms with his hand, and his breath became heavy—"I still like you like this, it feels comfortable to the touch, and it feels solid." ”

With his touch, the bewitching woman ** got up.

Qingya trembled, and big tears rolled down her eyes.

She stared blankly at the men and women snuggled in the twilight, her mouth open but unable to make a sound.

Xu couldn't stand it, she suddenly turned around and walked away.

As the twilight grew darker, the street lights were on.

I don't know how long it took, Qingya came to a lotus pond, the lotus leaves in the pond are densely layered, and there are lotus pavilions between them. Under the dim light of the street lamp, she felt that there was a bright and bright place in front of her, and a hazy figure stood in the flowers and beckoned to her, so she wanted to go over and take a look.

Slowly, she walked into the water.

She can swim and doesn't panic when she gets wet.

When the cold water wrapped her, the sadness that pervaded her heart faded, as if it had been washed away by water.

She felt relieved, so she continued to walk deeper into the lotus leaves.

It wasn't until the feeling of suffocation came that she realized her situation.

However, she suddenly felt very tired and did not want to move anymore.

In this way, her consciousness gradually blurred.

Finally, she remembered her parents, so she hurried home, but she couldn't move anymore.

……

When I woke up again, it was Guo Qingdu's residence.

She didn't scream—she wasn't born with the habit of screaming; She didn't panic either—she was used to being quiet, and rarely panicked; She received all of Guo Qingdu's memories, so she learned that she was wearing a peasant girl in a water town in the Dajing Dynasty. The girl was only fourteen years old, and she couldn't speak when she was a child, but fortunately she was cured later, but she didn't say much because of it.

This is a solid and "tough" farmhouse:

A powerful father, a shrewd mother, in charge of the Guo family's portal;

The eldest brother Guo Daquan is known as "Guo Xiaomian", and he is the best at comprehensive personnel;

Sister-in-law Cai's is spicy and fierce, famous far and wide;

The second brother Guo Dayou is a carpenter, with an introverted personality, implicit but not revealing;

The second sister-in-law, Ruan, is virtuous and gentle, and her neighbors often praise her;

The third brother Guo Dagui is only fifteen years old, enthusiastic and impulsive, and has not yet married a wife;

And then there are a few naughty and cute little nieces and nephews......

Guo Shouye went out to do business with his father when he was young, and after earning money and returning to his hometown, he bought a hundred acres of land and built the Guo family compound, which is a solid family in Luwan Village.

Every family is a difficult scripture to read, and the Guo family is naturally no exception, quarrels and bumps are inevitable, but the whole family has never wavered in two aspects:

Externally, fathers, sons, mothers-in-law, brothers, and concubines are united in their hearts and minds;

Internally, the old couple loves the little girl, and the brother and sister-in-law love the little sister.

When Guo Qingmu was twelve years old, the Zhang family in the same village came to the door to ask for his second son Zhang Futian.

Guo Shouye saw that the foundation of the Zhang family was not bad - there were dozens of acres of land - Zhang Futian was honest and diligent, and he was reluctant to marry his daughter far away, so he agreed to this family.

After the marriage, Guo Qingmu replied shyly when he saw Zhang Futian again, and he felt a little hazy heartbeat and joy; Zhang Futian was also flustered in the face of dumbness, his face was red and his words were dull, but he took great care of her in action, and he obviously fell in love with this little fiancée.

In short, although this family is the order of their parents, they are in love and satisfied.

Who knew that a thunderbolt came down from the clear sky, causing the soul to be stunned.

After Guo Qingya filtered these, she realized that she would never see her parents again!

A wave of sorrow welled up in her heart, so intense that she couldn't tell whether it was the remnants of the original owner's consciousness or her own personal feelings; is it sad because of the loss of love in the previous life, or because the loss of love in this life is unbearable and sad; Or both.

She was wrapped and eroded by a thick sadness, and she didn't know what to do.

Not knowing how to face her father and mother in front of her, she closed her eyes tiredly.

Wu was carefully looking at his daughter, and suddenly saw a trace of pain flashing under his calm eyes, and slowly closed his long eyelashes again, and suddenly his heart was like being grabbed by someone, pinching it painfully, and he couldn't breathe.

After procrastinating, I finally met my friends again. The wilderness is calling old and new friends!
