Tazigou
It's spring again, although it's a little later than in previous years, but it's still here anyway, never pretentious, enthusiastic and joyful, which is so disgusting. In the festive atmosphere of the lanterns, only the grandfather is missing, and it seems that there is a lot less. My uncle's younger brother was so much taller than the year before, like a big stick that Gen'er swaggered in the wind. Grandpa used to always take his most beloved grandson, make a paste and paste a pair.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, my grandmother drank too much again, lay alone on the kang and squinted, and only woke up again at dinner. Seeing this room, most of them didn't know each other, and the old lady was a little distressed. After the sound of firecrackers, the food was served, and the grandmother began to look for her grandfather as soon as she sat down, she always loved to find her grandfather, and she chattered in her mouth, saying that her grandfather didn't know, and she couldn't see anyone when she was eating.
Everyone went over several times, but they couldn't get over the whole thing, and the anxious uncle said again, saying that his grandfather was no longer there.
There was nothing wrong with all kinds of helpless actions, but the old lady was sad from her heart, wiped her tears, and took out the whitewashed handkerchief again: "When did it happen?" She said tremblingly, looking at the guy in her hand, maybe it was a little strange! The handkerchief was getting older and older, and she couldn't remember it.
The depressing atmosphere lingered for a while, Bei Bei saw his father gently put down his chopsticks and stood up, he was slow, the flesh on his face fell downward, trembling slightly, and turned around and went to the room where his grandfather lived before his death.
The old lady forgot about her grandfather's departure in three minutes: "What is this handkerchief for? It's so old, you say I still use it!" She even forgot that she had just cried, and touched that piece of wetness, inexplicably.
Father was smoking alone on the balcony, and Bebe followed, and at the end of the hallway, she stopped. The excessive noise in the house has nothing to do with him, anyway, the fireworks in the sky, if they explode, they will bounce in front of him, and it has nothing to do with him, Bei Bei looked at him, his father's straight shoulders were still straight, and life had not given him a chance to grow old.
——
At midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how the sound of firecrackers exploded, the girl still fell asleep, and Qin Tian called to greet the New Year, just like on New Year's Day some time ago. She still heard the sound of firecrackers, and he said that he also gave New Year's greetings to Beibei's parents, he said that.
She knew that he wanted to make a smooth transition between himself and him into friends, but it was only a few days, and his guilt was lost. Bei Bei could only try to stay away, but she didn't feel like nothing had happened, like she had never loved him.
——
Peng Cheng had already been discharged from the hospital, and when he returned to his home, he said that he was recuperating at home, and he called every day, as if only Bei Bei was the straw that belonged to him, which could make his world settle down, and people would not be anxious.
He said he had a big nephew, a little kid, who was as fine as a monkey.
"Whose child?" the girl catered to him aimlessly, about that child, it was far less embarrassing than Qin Tian's hasty escape, and she might not even have a brain.
"My brother. Peng Cheng blurted out, as a matter of course, as if he was saying that he had a father.
"Do you still have a brother?" There is a brother that makes Bei Bei feel novel, most of the children born in the 80s are lone seedlings, and there are not many brothers in Leng Ding.
"How fresh, why can't I have a brother?"
"You didn't say you had a brother before?"
"Why do I say, what's wrong with my brother?
"Go, what do you say!" Bebe scolded him, and he was always open-mouthed.
"Besides, why didn't I say it, didn't I tell you when I was in the hospital?"
"Oh!" Bei Bei finally remembered the brother, the man who gave the red envelope, although she didn't see it: "I'm your relative's brother!" The girl prevaricated very casually.
——
Seeing that the first day of the new year has passed, the people who visit the door are in a commotion, it is probably the time of the year to prove who is the daughter-in-law, those days are always fixed, Peng Cheng's ink has been in ink for several days, he has to let Bei Bei go to his house to see him.
"I'm not going, what am I going to do?" This is already the last boundary in the girl's heart, the boundary between a girlfriend and an ordinary friend, she thinks that she is not his girlfriend, and going to his house for the New Year is really no longer possible.
"Look at me! I miss you. Peng Cheng lowered his voice, as if the longing made him feel humbled, and he spoke in a low tone, as if pleading.
"I'm not going. ”
The girl was resolute, though when he said he missed her, she was already in a state of refusal. But in the end, Bei Bei agreed, because Peng Cheng said that if she didn't go to see him, he would go over to see her and go to her house to pay a New Year's greeting to her parents.
——
Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Bei Bei made up a proper excuse and went out before seven o'clock, where she was going today, in a large mountain far away, was a barren and desolate village.
She had never heard of the name of that place, it was a strange name, although it was the closest prefecture-level city to her home, maybe that place was a small point next to her on the map, but it was a very strange place, so strange that people felt far farther away than Beijing and Shanghai.
Listening to Peng Cheng, she was a little hesitant, not hesitating about the strange place, but she vaguely remembered that Peng Cheng told her that his home was in that very wealthy county, and his mother was a small businessman, he said that his family lived on the second floor of a community, just carrying the location of the doorway, and he said that he could see those people from the window, people like fools, going in and out.
Is he lying?
——
That strange place is almost a deep mountain old forest, the mountain range is a famous tourist resort, the natural and primitive style is not common now, backward so that the scenery there is very good, just into the mountain a little hard, in fact, not far away, the car is like a turtle crawling between the mountain road, seeing that it is about to pass noon, she is still on the way.
Bei Bei is always relieved, she has a sense of crisis that once she is sent to the door, she will be detained there, and she will never be expected to come out again. Maybe there are no people in the mountains, but it has nothing to do with her timidity, her fear has nothing to rely on, and naturally it can't be eliminated, and despite her fear, she never stops for a moment.
Grayscale cognition, so that there is always a small confusion in her heart, sitting on the sticky seat of the minibus, she can not relax for a moment of nervousness, maybe because of pity him, he begged him, she can no longer be ruthless.
——
When I came out early this morning, the sky was not beautiful, and there were snowflakes floating all over the sky, swaying and swaying, so that they were evenly paved.
"Daughter-in-law, I saw the minibus in the village driving, come on! I'll wait for you, you must come." Peng Cheng begged her like that, she couldn't see him, but she knew how lonely he should be waiting.
She first went to the market to buy some gifts, the first few days of the year, nothing new, left is just milk and fruit that have been placed years ago, she bought a box of very sweet and very small oranges, spent a lot of money, and bought a box of milk, a box of gifts, generally some delicious snacks, I feel that I can no longer carry more things, she took a long-distance bus to the deep mountains and old forests.
The bus went ahead for more than an hour, and the world around it was very different, with snow falling for a while and stopping for a while, bits and pieces. Peng Cheng kept calling to say that their minibus was not stopping, and even though it was snowing, I heard that it would continue to drive until the afternoon.
The county seat is the county seat, and it is a little pragmatic in how to be rich, and the materials are all good, but it looks a little dirty, and the local tyrants and tyrants generally come about like this. When she arrived at the passenger station in the county seat, Bei Bei reversed the bus again, and she got into the kind of minibus that Peng Cheng said, the kind of small bar car that traveled through the mountains and looked so smart, the car he had been staring at.
"Daughter-in-law, where have you been, you have come to a place called Tazigou, you will tell me. Peng Cheng repeatedly told her that the places he said were all like Xinjiang, or the place names of Inner Mongolia sounded very strange.
There are dirt roads everywhere, the girl sits stiffly on the car, the asphalt road is section by section, there is a section, there is no section, driving into the dust, there will be heavy snow, the day is still not cold enough, the car is very slow on the road, the driver has been complaining, saying that the snow has melted, a layer of thin ice, running and running, running up and afraid of danger.
"Otherwise, I'll have to go back, the road is not easy to walk, and I think this car is driving too slowly. Bei Bei discussed with Peng Cheng, she might only have to discuss with him, I don't know why, she always can't decide for herself.
"Don't go back, daughter-in-law, don't you go back! Isn't the car driving? He said pitifully, she didn't know why she thought it was pitiful, she felt that he was begging her again.
"It's okay, I'll look at the car, as long as this car can drive inside, I will definitely go, don't come out." Bei Bei hurriedly reassured him, his anticipation made her ruthless.
"Daughter-in-law, am I too willful, such a big snow, I have to ask you to come. ”
"No, you're anxious when you stay at home, don't think about it, I'll be there in a while. Bei Bei didn't know what she was doing, but she still promised: "Hey, what kind of ditch do you say, how far away is it from your house." ”
"It's almost there, and I'll ride there in just ten minutes. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you when I'm there. ”
She hung up the phone in a hurry, she didn't know what else to say, no one could help her, and neither could he. Anyway, it's been walking for so long, maybe the ditch is about to arrive, you see that the surrounding houses are getting shorter and shorter, and it seems that you have to collapse your waist to get in, she thought, I'm afraid I'm going to get to that ditch here.
——
After driving for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the place called Tiezigou. Peng Cheng said that it was the largest market near his house, and that it was just a narrow dirt road, and he couldn't see any difference. He told her to get out of the car and find a taxi on the side of the road, which he said would take a long detour to get to his house, and that it would be faster to take a taxi.
"Master, I'll go to Team Twenty-two. "Bei Bei didn't want to get in the car, there were no procedures on the taxi window, and there was no license plate, it was just a green car, and the bits and pieces seemed to have just been glued.
"Get in the car!" the driver shouted and turned around, while taking the things in Beibei's hand, they were all stuffed in the back seat of the taxi, the leaky taxi on all sides was broken, there was no shock absorption, how bumpy the road was, how shaky the car was.
"Master, you still drive a taxi here!" Bei Bei asked him tentatively, but fortunately, although the country road was narrow, it was still safe, and he was the only one who came and went, and there was no opponent.
"Isn't it?"
"Can this car make money?"
"Earn it! These cars are all scrapped cars in the city, there is no cost, just wait in your place, and you don't slip, why don't you make money." The honest old man lit a white wolf, shook the window, and just shook it twice, the window fell down with a clatter, and he cursed an unintelligible swearing, and patted the car door and shouted, "It's fallen again." ”
——
The snow made the road slippery, and the honest man kept complaining, saying that it was such a difficult road, and that it was a cheap job. After more than an hour of driving, the window could no longer be rolled up, the wind blew into the car, the girl was still comfortable, she was also anxious, Peng Cheng seemed to be a little inaccurate in ten minutes.
"Daughter-in-law, I really only ride for ten minutes, and I will arrive in ten minutes, but it is snowing today, and it is snowing like this. Peng Cheng said again and again, there was no one on the phone, he was in a hurry, his mouth stumbled garlic, bits and pieces, he was afraid that the girl would think he was lying to her, but who could hear it wrong?
"He's blinded you! What kind of bike can you ride to the twelfth team for ten minutes, ride a rocket!" The honest man couldn't stand it anymore, so he interjected with disdain.
"Who, he. Peng Cheng wasn't happy either.
——
Bei Bei was silent, looking at the increasingly clear mountains outside the window, she knew in her heart that whether she was deceived or deceived, she would not be able to go back. The oranges in the box smelled sweeter, and I think they were ravaged a little harder. Most of the courtyards in front of you are low and dilapidated, in the end, it is a tourist attraction, and the snow on the distant mountains sticks to the black soil, like cream and chocolate, here, it is really beautiful.
"That's it ahead, this time it will be ten minutes. The driver said confidently, "What are you doing here?"
"Look at a friend of mine. Bei Bei was already tired, her hands holding the bag were sticky with sweat, and after tossing for so long, her little hypocrisy was gone, so she didn't care.
"What's the subject?" the driver smiled flatteringly, as if it was a sneaky thing to engage in the object, and laughed very obscenely, his nose and eyes were twisted together.
"It's not. Bei Bei blurted out, she was tired of him, and she had a cold face, for fear that people would see her as a target.
"It's not a target, are you still here today?" he took a hard puff of his cigarette, and said in such a flattering manner, looking proud that he had stolen the watermelons in other people's melon fields and taken a big advantage: "This young man is so blessed! I think you are from the city!"
"Hmm!" Bebe snorted.
"Where do you live?" the driver couldn't tell how reluctant she was chirping, so he asked her endlessly.
"Great North. The girl was a little discouraged.
The driver nodded, threw the cigarette butt out the window, and sighed with some emotion, and said, "Good, good girl!" He raised a thumb stained with black mud and showed her it vigorously upward.
As if she had been stripped naked, Bei Bei listened to his words, she felt uncomfortable, she felt her face burn, the man still couldn't stop admiring, and with his proud thumb, the girl smiled wryly.
