Chapter 3 Rural Youth
May evening, Lijia Village. A violent storm struck, wantonly sweeping everything in the world. Trees were uprooted, crops were scattered, all this was a catastrophe for the peasants, and in a two-story bungalow on the east side of Lijia Village, a teenager lying on a pile of books fell asleep peacefully. The storm outside doesn't seem to have anything to do with him...
Rumble!
The red light flashed, the heavens and the earth were illuminated, the light was short-lived, and then shrouded in endless darkness, and a loud bang came, and the house seemed to be shattered by this roar!
The young man woke up suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw a blank look on his delicate and immature face, and he had a strange feeling. It was as if the thunder was calling him, rubbing his hair.
"What's the matter, I fall asleep while reading a book?
A soft voice came from outside the door, "Qing'er, haven't you slept yet?" It's eleven o'clock, don't be so desperate, your body is important." ”
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to sleep. ”
Li Qing hurriedly turned off the lights, and the room darkened.
"Alas, this child" Liang Hongyu left with a little relief and a little sadness
In the dark world, there are three "traces" from the sky, like a sword mark cut by someone on the earth, staggered and horizontal, very hideous. Lijia Village is located in the center of the sword mark, and there are only one or two lights in the village, which is quiet and serene. Coupled with the rain curtain and the clear glass sky, the whole village is like a paradise......
On a hill in the distance, there was a dark shadow in the woods halfway up the mountainside, merging with the surrounding darkness, and only a pair of eyes emitted a faint glimmer. The black shadow looked at Lijiacun, his eyes were clear and indifferent, and the meaning was indescribable.
In the early morning, Li Qing walked on the dirt road in the countryside, it had just rained, the air was pure and fresh, and there was the beauty of nature. Li Qing is in a good mood, he did a good job in the review last night, he understands the knowledge points thoroughly, and he is estimated to be in the top ten in the province in the next exam.
"I'll be in the top ten in this exam, and my parents will be very happy!" Li Qing smiled innocently, like a child who has been rewarded.
Li Qing has just been eighteen, and the third year of high school is about to take the college entrance examination, because he is reluctant to let his parents study in the township high school, Li Qing has excellent grades since he was a child, and has been admitted to the city's key high school. Since I was a child, I was disciplined very strictly by my parents, and I listened to my parents, introverted, like an obedient girl, with little contact with electronic products, and her academic performance was very good.
He didn't know what the top ten in the province represented, he knew that if he had good grades, his parents would be happy, and his mother would make him good food.
"Qing Wazi, what are you doing!" a deep voice came into Li Qing's ears. Looking towards the source of the sound, there was an old man more than a hundred meters away carrying a hoe, gray hair, holding a pipe in his hand, leading an old cow, and seemed to be in good spirits.
"It's Uncle Lin, you got up early in the morning to work. ”
"Yes, it's boring to be alone at home, and it's uncomfortable not to work. ”
Uncle Lin's wife died at a very early age, leaving a young daughter for him to bring. After a lot of hardships, I finally brought up my daughter and went to college. But his daughter worked in the city after graduating from college and didn't see anyone for several years. Now that I have my own family and have children, I have fewer opportunities to go home.
Uncle Lin is actually a lonely old man, but he has never complained about anything, he is very optimistic, and he is happy when his daughter is happy.
He works in the fields every day and keeps an old cow. Now, his hair is all white, his face has a lot of wrinkles, and his figure is a little rickety, and he can't do any heavy work. But he still works in the fields every day, according to him, in order to get in touch with the land and make love.
"Li Qing, I grew up watching you. You read well
, simple-hearted. There will be a big future in the future. Uncle Lin's face was peaceful.
"Thank you, uncle" Li Qing smiled innocently.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to school. ”
"Then I won't bother you, go ahead. Uncle Lin waved his hand.
"Goodbye, uncle!"
Uncle Lin looked at Li Qing's figure as he walked away, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and led the cow away.
This handsome young man walked on the road, dressed in ordinary clothes and looking like a scholar. I was on my way to school and experienced the beauty of nature on the way. A figure appeared in front of him, it was Xiao Ting.
"Brother Qing, you go to school too. ”
"Hmm" Li Qing replied flatly, and then he was speechless.
Xiaoting is the daughter of Li Qing's next-door neighbor, named Li Xiaoting, one year younger than Li Qing, studying in the city high school, often playing with Li Qing when she was a child, and the relationship between the two parents is very good.
Neither of them spoke again, Li Xiaoting was waiting, and Li Qing's mind had already drifted to the book he read yesterday, and he was embarrassed all the way.
Li Xiaoting wrinkled and thought, "Brother Qing, I haven't seen each other for so long, and it's still so... So... Mu, people deliberately dressed up and wore new clothes, and they were lukewarm to others" Thinking of this, Li Xiaoting pursed her lips, a little annoyed, and turned her head directly to ignore Li Qing.
Li Qing scratched her head, Xiaoting is very beautiful today, what is this for? Forget it, it's like this, her face is unpredictable. Li Qing looked at the young and beautiful girl next to her, shook her head, and simply stopped talking.
Li Xiaoting saw that Li Qing was like a piece of wood, stomped her feet angrily, walked in front of Li Qing, and gradually disappeared.
Li Qing looked at this slim back a little puzzled, and hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.
In the town, Li Qing stood on the side of the street, looking at this place he was familiar with, and he felt a little strange. The crowds of people, dressed in avant-garde fashion, and the streets are lined with rows of brightly decorated and distinctive shops, with neatly dressed and dignified waiters, expressing a message of "our service will definitely satisfy you, and we will do our best to meet your needs".
Li Qing looked at this scene and was silent. He looked at one place and saw a different shop from the surrounding - Shunxin Flour Shop, in which there were several round tables and several chairs that were a little old, the walls were a little yellow, and the left and right sides were pasted with auspicious pictures of dragons and phoenixes, cranes, and there was a counter inside, and a middle-aged woman was sitting, and a burly middle-aged man was busy in the window.
Li Qing walked into the store, there was no air conditioning, no smooth and shiny porcelain floor, the shop looked a little old, but Li Qing didn't care.
"Uncle, aunt. I'm here for noodles."
"Alas, it's Li Qing. It's been so long since I've seen it so high, come and sit down, and let the uncle make you a bowl of noodles to eat."
Li Qing scratched his head embarrassedly, every time he came to the uncle and aunt, he was so enthusiastic.
"Li Qing, since you went to high school, I rarely saw you, look at you used to come often, do you dislike the noodles made by your aunt?"
Auntie, looking at Li Qing half-jokingly
Li Qing, a little embarrassed, since he went to high school, he was busy with his studies and rarely returned, he raised his head to look at his aunt's kind smile, his face began to heat up, and he lowered his head slightly.
The aunt's family is a relative in the town, a close friend and relative of Li Qing's parents, and the uncle is a distant relative of Li's father.
The uncle smiled heartily, "Okay, okay, don't embarrass Li Qing." Come and sit down and try the noodles made by my uncle."
Li Qing nodded
"Hey, Li Qing, you haven't seen Ying'er for a long time, wait for her to come back and talk to him well, there is a lot of pressure to study in this school, it is estimated that your character, you don't even have anything to say to girls" The aunt looked at Li Qing with a little meaning.
Li Qing was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, "What's the matter with this aunt, why is she asking me this kind of question now?"
"Auntie and uncle, I'm full, I have homework to write at school, goodbye"
Li Qing walked to the street and looked back at the noodle restaurant behind him, feeling a little strange in his heart.
The uncle and aunt in the noodle restaurant also glanced at Li Qing in the distance, and the uncle sighed, "Daughter-in-law, I don't know if Ying'er is willing or not, you are so anxious to talk to Li Qing about this, fortunately you didn't say it today, otherwise Li Qing and his family would think of us"
The aunt sat indifferently on the counter and muttered, "If you don't push your daughter out, your daughter's life will be ruined, and her daughter is only 16 years old, we can't let her be ruined in the hands of that bastard for nothing..."
Li Qing walked on the street, looking at the street full of modern atmosphere, young and beautiful teenagers and girls walked over in groups, he lowered his head and walked through.
Suddenly, a crisp voice was heard.
"Hey, Brother Qing, why are you so slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time" Li Xiaoting looked at Li Qing angrily, "Do you know how big the sun is now, it's about to tan me"
"I'm going to eat noodles"
"I'm waiting for you here, you're actually going to eat noodles, you..."
Li Xiaoting completely broke out, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her face was aggrieved.
Li Qing scratched her head, "Didn't this girl take the car to school first, why are you still waiting for me." ”
Li Qing was a little speechless, no matter how stunned he was, he understood the current situation, he had to comfort and comfort this sister, otherwise the relationship might be very stiff in the future.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, don't girls love to go to bubble tea shops!
"Xiaoting, it's my fault, it's all my fault that I caused you to bask in the sun for so long, it's all my fault."
"Why don't I invite you to sit in the bubble tea shop?"
Li Xiaoting looked at this, a rural boy who was upright and couldn't turn around, and suddenly felt a little happy.
