With that, they got up and walked forward. They had to cross the newly built road and go to the new street over there for lunch.

The traffic on this road is not very heavy, and the intersection is controlled by traffic lights and electronic eyes. The two of them crossed the road when they saw the green light, but they were almost hit by a small three-plane coming at high speed.

It was clear that the moto was running a red light. In addition to the three machines, Zhu Yushen found that most of those who rode motorcycles, battery cars, bicycles, and walkers did not look at the traffic light display at the intersection, and walked forward with their heads buried. Only those cars or passenger and freight vehicles are running according to the signals.

This disorderly mode of transportation surprised Zhu Yushen. This situation cannot be found in Huangzhen, because the flow of people and vehicles in Huangzhen is limited, and there is no need to set up traffic lights at the intersection to control. However, the car will basically slow down in that situation.

After crossing the road nervously, Zhu Yushen turned around and stood there for a while. He quickly recalls how many times he encountered dangerous situations when crossing the street after coming to the new district.

Judging from these scenarios, life is to a certain extent tantamount to a game of risk avoidance, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Zhai Suyun also stood at the intersection for a while, but both of them were silent and didn't say anything about it. Then they sat down in a small restaurant.

At this time, there were only two customers in the restaurant, Zhai Suyun ordered three dishes and asked for a few bottles of beer.

Zhai Suyun said: "How is Mr. Zhu's alcohol now? It can be seen that your life must be more moist, right? In my last year in Huangzhen, you were transferred from elsewhere to Huangzhen Middle School.

At that time you lived in a bachelor dormitory on the side of the school building. I sometimes come to your bachelor dorm room and ask you questions. Although you are only teaching history. But you know that you have a deep cultural background. And the attitude when explaining the topic to people is also very good. Therefore, both male and female students like to ask you questions for advice.

A few times, when I went to your bachelor dorm, I saw you cooking food. You often cook a big pot of vegetables and then save them to eat slowly. I can see from this incident that the conditions in your home are definitely not good.

But I was still very, very envious of you at that time, because you had already gone to work and had an independent living space for yourself. And if you live your life the way you do, you'll definitely be able to save some money.

I was thinking if I could make money on my own. It would be nice to have an independent living space. Because after earning money, I am no longer controlled by the situation at home; With a spacious single dormitory, there is no need to stay with relatives anymore.

And I found that our physical education teacher Gu Mingxiu, who was assigned with you, seems to have a lot of feelings for you, and she will go to your dormitory to read a book if she has nothing to do. It's just that you seem to be more reserved and don't pay much attention to her.

My situation is getting worse and worse. My biggest fear at the time was when Cousin Jean brought her classmates home, because that was when I lost face the most. Cousin Jean is also not polite, she will tell all the truth about our family in front of her classmates, which makes everyone disgusted with me.

At the beginning of the last semester. Somehow, the son of the director of the police station, Zhu Pole, scolded Cousin Qin a few times. scolded her for being shameless and dead. said it was a joke with her, but she took it seriously.

Because of this, Cousin Qin was so angry that she slept at home for a few days, and she had no intention of studying. Of course, she will also be angry with me, saying that it is because I live in her house and make a nondescript thing that makes Bamboo Pole give up on her.

I was so angry that I was ready to leave. Then my mother came to my aunt's house and said that no matter what my grades were, as soon as I graduated from junior high school, it would be impossible for me to continue studying, and my family did not have such conditions. Even though my grades at that time were very good, I would definitely spend a lot of money to cultivate such seedlings if I were in good condition.

Because the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, I had no choice but to leave gloomily. After listening to my mother's words, I packed up my walk on the spot and went home with her. I said that since it is all about giving up, it is better to give up as soon as possible, so as to save the anger of the sender again.

Eventually, my uncle persuaded me to stop this, so I stayed at their house again. Maybe I'll leave Cousin Jean disappointed, because she's been sullen all day long.

It happened that during that time, we were studying a play called "The Night of the Tiger", which was very long, and it was divided into three classes. I remember that at that time, our Chinese teacher, Mr. Xia, happened to be sick, and that text was taught by you, Mr. Zhu.

Why do I remember this script? Because the hero's situation is too similar to mine.

There was just one difference, and that was his cousin's attitude towards him. But those who can't believe it either, don't some people say that Chinese intellectuals are too fond of self-inflicted passions? The plot is an ideal state imagined in the minds of literati, but there is a great distance between the ideal and reality.

In "The Night of the Tiger", the male protagonist Huang Dasha is even worse than me. He was an orphan who lived alone in a dilapidated house in the mountains. It was close to his uncle's house, who was a hunter and came from a wealthy family.

Huang Dasha's more watery cousin Aunt Lian is also the only daughter of his aunt and his wife. Aunt Lian also has a grandmother, the old man has a good heart, and she is very sympathetic to Huang Dasha in the whole play.

It's really a coincidence that a few years ago, I staged a live drama just like Huang Dasha. Although the results all ended in tragedy, how different the situation was!

Because as the soul characters of the play, Aunt Lian and my cousin Qin, their performances are completely different.

When Huang Dasha's family was still well-off, he and Aunt Lian were cousins, so they could often contact each other and enjoy growing up together.

In this way, the love will be born over time. Aunt Lian's good feelings for Huang Dasha are unwavering, even if Huang Dasha's later situation is very unbearable, she is still determined to come together with him and save him with her love. So much so that she had a conflict with her father. In addition, she rejects all good conditions and temptations from the outside world, and even wants to elope to fulfill her wishes.

As for those things when I was a child, the situation between me and my cousin Jean and the two of them is very similar. Jean's cousin before the change. Always clinging to me. It also made me invisibly see her as someone who could make me happy.

I had expected things to go in the ideal direction. It's Cousin Qin who treats me like Aunt Lian treats Huang Dasha. Let me get out of the psychological dilemma and life dilemma. Then try to change the status quo and live happily ever after.

It turned out to be pure wishful thinking. I don't know when Cousin Jean started or what specific thing changed her attitude towards me that made me very scared.

In any case, when my family was getting more and more difficult, she did not comfort me, but reciprocated with unkindness. Moreover, she actually snobbed and fell in love with that annoying bamboo pole prematurely. As a result, she was not good because of her own conditions and background. ended up in a humiliating end. This is really different from the image of the heroine in the script.

I was learning the script and experiencing this real thing, and I felt very unbalanced. So he complained about his bad luck.

At that time, my mind was also very simple. In that hopeless situation, I still didn't change my mind about Cousin Jean. Due to the influence of self-inflicted articles, I have also become a self-inflicted person, and I feel that my infatuation will definitely bring good results. But how is this possible?

Later, a few years after I left Huangzhen, Cousin Qin and I met once. That time she was honest. She couldn't accept me anyway and introduced me as her lifelong companion. It's not because we're cousins. That's secondary, the point is that our family is so notorious.

The story of the pork robbery later spread to their village. It is rumored here that our family owes a huge amount of debt, and we can't even sell our family's things. And she is a pure girl from a wealthy family, how can she be in harmony with the son of a gambler's family? If you are accidentally deceived, won't your life be ruined?

So after she grew up, her body grew up, and her mind matured, she resolutely chose to distance herself from me. At the same time, she also regretted that she had been with me too much when she was a child. She hated to erase all those memories, and she didn't want to admit that fact. In addition, her parents also reminded her, either explicitly or implicitly, that she must be cautious when interacting with boys, and never be deceived by people from bad backgrounds.

For all these reasons, she had no choice but to distance herself from me. Otherwise, if, as the idealist fictionalized, she doesn't care about the reaction of the outside world and blindly wants to get along with the boy who had feelings when she was a child, then how can she explain it to the people around her? How can her parents be embarrassed?

Besides, most of the girls who are dead will also suffer. When she came to the script of "The Night of the Tiger", she also thought about it a lot. She is very glad that she is not as stupid as the heroine Liangu, otherwise what if she gets a tragic ending?

I was very calm when I heard her say this. Because not long ago, an incident happened in our neighboring village, which was enough to prove the strength of public opinion and prove that Cousin Qin's consideration was right.

It was a couple of men and women surnamed Zhai, and it was really embarrassing to talk about. In our area, Zhai is a big surname, and there are many families with the surname Zhai scattered in several natural villages around it.

At the beginning, Zhai Erbao from our neighboring village got along with a woman with the same surname Zhai when he was working outside. said that this is because it is very hard to earn money outside the home, and it is very lonely, and people who are fellow villagers must get closer to each other and take care of each other.

Zhai Erbao is working as a bricklayer outside. The woman's name is Zhai Fang, and she does odd jobs outside. The conditions of both families are not very good, and the family needs them to work hard outside. Zhai Fang's home is no longer part of the same town as ours.

Both of them worked very hard, and they were reluctant to rest for a day, and they were reluctant to spend the money they earned. Both families are very happy with their children.

When the two of them met and got along, they both developed a crush on each other. The two of them are like-minded, like-minded, and sympathetic to each other, and they are in a foreign place that the family can't manage, and they are both twenty-four or five years old. So naturally, they got along and lived together.

At the end of that year, when they went home and told them about it, the parents on both sides also felt that it was okay, after all, these two people were good. It's just that some people say that they have the same surname, which is not very good.

However, some people quit. Because big girls are in short supply in the countryside, there were several families who planned to marry Zhai Fang. Hearing about this, Zhai Fang actually made a private engagement for life outside. How's that going to work? The point is. Some of such families even took the initiative to let Zhai Fang's family take advantage of their family. As a result, Zhai Fang and Zhai Erbao came back in pairs, isn't this infuriating?

Some men who premeditated Zhai Fang's house were even more noisy and noisy, and insisted that their parents make something happen, otherwise how could they be willing? If the pair is torn apart, there is still hope for some people. In this way, some people are desperately spreading rumors and messing with the bad water of Zhai Erbao and Zhai Fang.

said that these two people had a good time with other people before, saying that Zhai Erbao had a flawed personality, that Zhai Fang was a crazy girl, and so on. made Zhai Erbao and Zhai Fang's parents feel uncomfortable when they hear it. Fortunately, the two of them are unswerving, and they don't care what the outside world says.

But one day, they were caught in the soft underbelly and received a fatal blow. The person who destroys the marriage of other people, by the two of them by the surname of the association, to find out that they are the same clan and are of different generations, then the union of the two of them is problematic. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this, and the man got his wish.

Although many of our generation and our predecessors do not choose names according to generation, Zhai Erbao and Zhai Fang do not have generations in their names. But our ancestors all have the word generation in their names, but many of those ancestors have gone into the earth.

As the saying goes, sin is added to desire. What's the problem? The bad deeds said that according to the research, it was found that Zhai Fang should be a generation older than Zhai Erbao. It is Zhai Erbao's aunt's generation. Now it's okay, how can your nephew get along with your aunt?

This stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the surrounding began to talk about it. After the discussion, everyone said that even if Zhai Erbao and Zhai Fang were of the same generation, they could not be combined, who had ever seen brothers and sisters form a pair to get married? Not to mention my aunt and nephew!

As a result, the two of them became the target of public criticism, and their parents began to waver. At the beginning, their parents persuaded them kindly, telling them to break up in time and disperse, so that they could save some face. In the past, I thought that children were ignorant, and they just messed up and forgot about it, and then they went back to find someone they could really talk to.

This matter is easier for Zhai Fang. Some of the surrounding villages are unmarried adult men, and some of them are better than Zhai Erbao's family.

But Zhai Erbao can't do it, how can he give up the good food he can get? gave up Zhai Fang, if you find another woman like her, it will be difficult to go to the sky. Zhai Fang was his fiancée who worked hard to capture her favor in the special environment of working outside.

That kind of opportunity is hard to come by. Doesn't it often said that this kind of thing depends on fate? The fate of the two of them has come, how can it be easily destroyed?

In fact, Zhai Erbao knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for his good chance, he would have no advantage at all if he put him among those who wanted to chase Zhai Fang to compete together. In this way, he is determined to unite with Zhai Fang forever. He said that even if he let him die, he would not be able to give up.

However, what Zhai Erbao didn't expect was that Zhai Fang's psychology changed subtly later, and her attitude began to waver.

Because she has been a well-behaved child since she was a child, she feels that her parents will never harm their daughter. At this time, the two families are under huge pressure from public opinion, if they still insist on going their own way, how can they gain a foothold here? She suggested that the two families have a meal together and discuss it to see how it turned out.

As soon as these words came out, people thought that this girl was still good, so all the spearheads were pointed at Zhai Erbao's family, to be precise, it should be Zhai Erbao himself. Those who created the incident hoped that Zhai Erbao would eventually give up so that they could achieve their goal.

Others, however, see that it is a good show no matter how it ends. If Zhai Erbao and Zhai Fang still form a pair in such a uproar, wouldn't it be a super strange thing?

If it doesn't work out, they are forced to break up under the pressure of external public opinion, and the big mouths have something to say. People will scold them and their parents for being stupid people who have no backbone and ruined a good marriage for such a trivial. Therefore, no matter how this thing develops, these two will be left behind.

But no one expected that the outcome of this incident would be very tragic. Zhai Erbao is a very character person, he said that love should be more and more courageous, he wants to risk the world's disapproval, and marry his aunt's Zhai Fang home as a wife! He said so categorically in front of those who liked to be crooked with big mouths.

After the news spread, Zhai Fang was locked up by her family, who said that they could no longer let the two young people mess around. Her parents even wanted a man who wanted to marry her to possess his daughter at lightning speed and possess her heart. Because in this way, they will no longer be embarrassed, and they will be scolded for giving birth to a daughter, ruining the family style and insulting their ancestors.

After Zhai Fang was locked up, she cried all day long, and she didn't say anything to the end, and insisted on not insisting on combining with Zhai Erbao.

After Zhai Erbao learned about this, he came to the door a few times to make trouble. He regretted that they had not eloped sooner, and that it was too late. Because as soon as he came to the door, he was repelled by Zhai Fang's father, brother, uncle, etc.

Later, Zhai Fang's family simply brought a few people to Zhai Erbao's family to theorize, saying that it was their family's stubborn son who harmed Zhai Fang like that, and now her brain may be ruined. This matter must be explained, and you will have to lose money.

After good words and persuasion, Zhai Erbao's parents finally sent away the uninvited guests. After that, the pressure on them was unprecedented. Because the gang of Zhai Fang's family said that if Zhai Erbao still didn't give up and still stuck to Zhai Fang, they would come here again to make trouble, and they would come back to pay for losses.

The gang said that it was best to ask Zhai Erbao's family to come to the door and say to give up in front of their family and Zhai Fang. Because Zhai Fang said when she was sober, she only listened to Zhai Erbao.

There is no doubt that in this way, Zhai Erbao's family has been driven to a dead end, they are angry! It was extremely angry that Zhai Erbao still didn't give up in that situation, let alone let him persuade Zhai Fang to give up together.

I was really angry, and I couldn't withstand the pressure exerted by the outside world and Zhai Fang's family, Zhai Erbao's parents later simply said angry that Zhai Erbao was dead, and the province and the family were not at peace.

It is said that the tragedy happened on a winter morning. Zhai Erbao's younger siblings sat in the fire box to bake the fire, and his parents asked him to do what others told him to do the last time, but he still didn't agree.

At that time, his father was chopping hard wood with a knife. When it was very hot, his father picked up a thick wooden stick and hit him, causing the neighbors to come and see the fun.

Zhai Erbao squatted there, letting his father beat him violently, but he didn't say a word. That kind of perseverance is not something that ordinary people can have.

After a while, there were more people who came to see the trouble, and some people said that the people from Zhai Fang's house were going to come here again in the afternoon.

Angry and anxious, Zhai Erbao's parents scolded him very viciously, telling him to simply die! If he doesn't die, the whole family will be killed by outsiders.

Zhai Erbao, who was beaten all over his body, got up. He rushed straight to the utility room next to the main house, picked up a bottle of pesticide and drank it, drinking more than half of it in one go. Then he struggled in agony in the utility room.

Someone took one look at the bottle of the pesticide and said that the pesticide was not very powerful. His father asked the crowd what to do, how to let him go early. At this time, his mother came over with a quilt. Then the parents moved together and covered his head.

After a while, Zhai Erbao stopped moving under the quilt. The onlookers looked at each other, and then they quietly dispersed. Zhai Erbao's parents let out a long breath at this time, and they seemed to feel relaxed at last.

In the afternoon, Zhai Fang's family, who came to make trouble, was told that Zhai Erbao couldn't think about it for a while, and committed suicide by drinking pesticides. Then there is no need for those people to make trouble. So after going back, Zhai Fang was released. Her aunt in the city drove her over and took her to the city for a few days to relax and start a new life.

From then on, the people around him no longer talked crookedly in front of the two families. The pressure of public opinion from the outside world was quelled at the cost of Zhai Erbao's life. This incident caused a huge psychological shadow on Zhai Erbao's younger siblings who witnessed the whole process, and it is said that they were reluctant to talk to their parents for a long time after that.

Zhai Erbao's funeral was done hastily, and he was buried by a river, and the downstream of that river was Zhai Fang's home. However, when Zhai Fang knew about Zhai Erbao's suicide, she already had a new life, and she only smiled faintly at everything before. She has nothing to regret, because her later man is better than Zhai Erbao. (To be continued......)
