Chapter 43: Delicate Youth [Happy New Year]
"It's okay, Yuran, it's just that I fell and injured myself, don't worry", Zhang Shaoping looked at An Yuran and said.
Yang Junfeng, who was sitting not far away, waved his hand at Li Xiang and whispered, "Brother Li, do you think Zhang Shaoping will tell the principal about us beating him?" ”
Li Xiang said seriously: "Just like him, do you think he dares to go?" Besides, he just has one mouth, and we have seven or eight mouths, and he can't talk about us. ”
"That's right, look at him like that, don't dare to forgive him."
In the evening, when the twilight gradually enveloped the whole city, the city was brightly lit, but in such a lively city, Zhang Shaoping would rather stay quietly in the dormitory alone to read than go out for a walk, he was holding An Yuran borrowed from the county library "Furong Town", Shaoping looked at this book and felt very kind, because the things written in this book are close to the world he lives in, Shaoping is more and more engrossed, so that he didn't hear his younger brother Shao'an when he called him.
Shaoping was fascinated by this book, he felt that everything around him was nothing, I don't know how long he read it, he finished reading Furong Town, when he closed the book, his heart was very emotional, he felt that Hu Yuyin in the book in the face of setbacks, ups and downs, and all kinds of social injustices, but still positive and optimistic to face the tenacious spirit of reality.
Oh, yes! What is Life? Is life all about being born to live better? Zhang Shaoping feels that this is not the case, it is life rather than life to live better after birth, life has ups and downs, setbacks, sufferings, sorrows, joys, successes, and failures...... This is the first time in Zhang Shaoping's life that he has been educating himself.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shaoping rushed to the library alone, reading all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign novels in the library, outside the window, the bleak autumn wind was blowing, the golden sycamore leaves and ginkgo biloba leaves were blown all over the ground, the piled up ginkgo biloba leaves looked as golden as a sea of flowers, Zhang Shaoping closed his eyes and felt the wonderful melody of nature.
This day is the weekend, An Yuran's family sat on the sofa chatting and laughing, and after a while, the knock on the door moved, An Yuran hurriedly ran to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Li Xiang's family of three, An Yuran was a little unhappy, but still said hello to them.
Li Xiang's family of three came to the living room, An Guobang beckoned them to sit on the sofa, An Yuran and Li Xiang's parents chatted with each other, Li Xiang sat on the side and stared at An Yuran, showing a hint of a wicked smile, took out a beautiful skirt from his pocket, and said to Yuran: "I happened to see such a skirt in the department store today, and I thought you must be very beautiful in it, so I bought it for you, I heard that this is still a fashionable dress shipped from Shanghai, how about you take a look?" ”
An Yuran was a little angry and said, "I don't like to wear any skirts!" Li Xiang held the skirt in his hand, and felt very embarrassed when he saw that Yuran didn't answer it. Yuran's mother hurriedly said, "Ah, you doll! Li Xiang kindly bought you a dress, you should thank them, why do you make a face? ”
Yu Ran's face turned red at what her mother said, and in order not to embarrass her mother and father, she had to endure and say, "Li Xiang, how much is this skirt?" You tell me how much it is, and I'll give it to you. ”
"What's the money...... Li Xiang said in a hurry.
"You carefully selected the skirts you bought, how can you not even need money! If you don't say how much it is, then I don't want this skirt either", Yu Ran said a little angrily.
"Eighteen...... That's eighteen dollars! Li Xiang said.
"Wouldn't it be just an eighteen dollar?"
"I can't remember the odds......"
"You're thinking about it!"
"Eighteen dollars...... Oh, it's eighteen dollars and five cents......"
An Yuran didn't say a word, then took out the money from his purse and handed it to Li Xiang. This approach made Yuran's mother and father feel a little helpless, and Li Xiang's parents also felt a little embarrassed, but after all, these two children were still young, so they didn't think much about it.
"That's right, Director An, you see that my family Xiaoxiang and your family Yuran have not guessed since childhood, if these two children can be together well in the future, then our two families will also be happy, are you right?"
An Guobang didn't make a statement, and responded with a smile: "It's up to them to make their own decisions about this kid's matter!" Let's not worry about the children, after all, what is about free marriage now, are you right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, but I look at Yuran's child, if my family wants to marry Yuran in the future, how good it would be!"
Yuran, who was sitting on the side, heard the conversation between them, and felt a little uncomfortable, although she was only fifteen years old this year, but in the face of marriage, she didn't want to rely on what the older generation said, "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", she wanted to find it herself.
When she thought about this matter carefully, Zhang Shaoping's figure immediately appeared in front of her eyes, yes, if she had to find a man to live with for the rest of her life, then this person would have to be Zhang Shaoping. Because he felt as close to her as family to her.
At her age, once there is a real commotion of love in her heart, the calm inner world will also surge turbulent waves, and soon, whether she is walking, reading, or studying, Zhang Shaoping's appearance appears in her mind: tall figure, dark and calm face, straight nose bridge, strong thighs and athletic body, and ......... And her mind not only appeared Zhang Shaoping's figure, but also appeared between them borrowing books, reading books, and everything they experienced together, this feeling made her sometimes laugh unconsciously, sometimes made her feel like crying, and sometimes made her cry and laugh.
In the evening, after Li Xiang's family of three had dinner at her house and left, she lay on her bed, flipping through the books she had read with Shaoping in her hands, and closed the books after opening the two pages, she was very happy to meet Zhang Shaoping, and she thanked God for giving her such an arrangement.
Since then, whether she goes to the library to read books or go to the cafeteria to eat, she pulls Shaoping along, and many eyes on campus are staring at her, but she doesn't care too much about other people's eyes, because she feels that she is herself, she should not live in the eyes of others, but live out of herself, as long as she is happy, what is the use of other people's eyes?
Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town......
The income of the villagers of Zhangjia Village has doubled over the years, and the situation of the people in the village is getting better and better, Zhang Fugui feels very happy, because Zhangjia Village, which used to be worried about eating and marrying a daughter-in-law, has suddenly become a rich village, and the whole village looks as beautiful and bright as in the city.
Every family in Zhangjia Village lived in a small bungalow, bidding farewell to the old house with broken mud and rotten walls, Fugui has been idle these days, Zhang Tianyou was a little panicked in his heart, and faced his son Zhang Jianguo was not concerned about marrying a daughter-in-law at all, so he hurriedly found Zhang Fugui with a crutch.
Zhang Tianyou smiled at Zhang Fugui and said, "Rich! Now the situation of the people in our village is getting better and better, and you are idle now, how did you do when your uncle asked you to help Jianguo find relatives? ”
Zhang Fugui was a little confused by Zhang Tianyou's sudden words, he thought about it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tianyou, don't worry, I have always taken this matter to heart, and I will definitely find a family for Jianguo in a few days." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, why not in a hurry! This can make you Uncle Tianyou and I die in a hurry, you see that your rich and noble two dolls Shaoping and Shao'an are in middle school, but Jianguo didn't even see a daughter-in-law, you said I'm not in a hurry, you Tianyou Uncle I expect you to find a daughter-in-law for Jianguo, so that your Uncle Tianyou can hug his grandson earlier! ”
"What Uncle Tianyou said is that Fugui must be attentive and promise to find the best mother-in-law for Brother Jianguo, what do you think?"
"Rich! Uncle You, I don't want you to find many, many good ones, as long as you can find someone who has good hands and feet and can give birth. ”
"Uncle Tianyou, look at what you said, now the situation in our village is getting better and better, how can you wronged the brothers of the founding of the country? If you want to find it, you must find the best. ”
"Fugui, don't blame Uncle Tianyou for speaking rudely, aren't these women all the same? As long as I can give birth, I don't have any requirements for other old men. ”
"Okay, good, good, Uncle Tianyou, don't worry, since Fugui promised you, he will do what he says, if you have nothing to do, go back first, and I will go to help Jianguo find relatives."
Zhang Tianyou saw the sincerity of Fugui's promise, so he went home with a crutch, and Zhang Youcai, who was sitting next to Fugui, smoked a dry tobacco bag and said with a smile: "Rich! Do you see, your Uncle God is really anxious. ”
"Dad, this is also human nature, after all, the founding of the People's Republic of China is almost forty, and if you don't find an aunt to give birth to a big fat doll, wouldn't Uncle You's incense be ...... that day"
Zhang Youcai continued to smoke his own dry tobacco pouch and did not speak, after all, his current situation is leisurely, and there is nothing to chew on the root of his tongue.
Fugui was busy building houses in the village with Zhang Jianguo a few days ago, and now that the houses have been repaired, the people in the village have also lived in small bungalows.
However, this matter of looking for relatives and finding his mother-in-law is not something he can count at random, and he has to build Jianguo to look at it himself, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, but then again, although the twisted melon is not sweet, it can also quench thirst.
Fugui hurriedly found Zhang Jianguo, and told Jianguo what he and Uncle Tianyou said to Jianguo, Jianguo knew that this time he really couldn't escape, so he had to promise Fugui to go to find relatives together.
However, Zhang Jianguo also has requirements for finding relatives, if it is not what he really likes, then he will definitely not agree, Fugui will not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and temporarily agree to Jianguo's request, but promise to agree, if Jianguo insists that he will not look down on any of them, then he will bring him back anyway in order to be able to deal with Uncle Tianyou.
