After breakfast, Lao Ma was listening to the play, and suddenly the phone rang, and it was Ma Hongchao calling. Since the election of the village chief a while ago to today, Hongchao has not made a few calls in total, and there must be something wrong with the deliberate call today. After some greetings, Ma Hongchao finally got down to business.

"Old village chief, you don't know outside, people in Baoshan are now going to scrap the old radio station in the village, saying that it can't be used - it's too old! You said you used that radio station for decades, why can't you use it when you get to him? Now the meeting is held to negotiate with the village primary school, and we plan to use the empty house on the east side of the village primary school! ”

"Oh, he's the village chief now, how does he decide how to come!" Lao Ma comforted Hongchao and comforted himself.

"People still want to abolish the village primary school! It is said that it is to apply to the above to merge Majiatun Primary School into the town's primary school! Everyone in the village is talking about him - the people are very angry! ”

"The primary school in our village has a total of thirty or forty children from the sixth grade to the kindergarten class, which is a bit too little to support those ten or so teachers! Besides, the village chose him, so he can only be left to him! ”

"Old village chief, you don't know, he's very arrogant now! You hurry back and talk about it, move the relationship, and save people from not taking the old people of our generation in their eyes! ”

"Now the family reaps the fruit—who has the spare time to take care of him! I'm so busy every day that I can't even squeeze in time for dinner! Don't you have a store in the county now? ”

"Yes, yes! I'm busy, too! I went back some time ago, and I heard from the people in my house that he was coming, and as soon as he took office, he ran up at every turn, and went to the town twice in three days! This kid is so bold! I said you shouldn't have supported him back then! Ma Hongchao complained about the old village chief.

"Didn't I support you? Which one of my not supported? How can someone from the same village not support it? Is it because you don't have enough votes, what can I do? Will I be able to manipulate the people in the village to vote? Now that they've been chosen, it's too late for you to say anything—it's too late! Stop chattering and go about your business! Strive for the next election you work hard and go back to the village in advance to prepare! The old horse said impatiently.

"Next election? I'm still 60 years old? "Red Super Speech is lost.

"Forget it! There are enough votes below, and there are stamps on the top - how can it be changed casually? Turn a blind eye! The village chief of dozens of villages around here, which one doesn't have any problems with this and that? To put it bluntly, they are all farmers, and after all, the bottom line is not as smooth as you, a businessman, rich and capable! He must be very ambitious when he first takes office, you let him do it for a few years! What's the hurry? What is there to rush when we are old! The old horse squeezed his eyes and finished speaking, and the other end of the phone was silent.

After a while, Hong Chaozhi was bored to talk again, changed the topic, chatted about the weather in Shenzhen and the price of grapes in the village, and left the phone.

After putting down the mobile phone, Lao Ma inadvertently looked at the call records on his smartphone, and he didn't know if he didn't flip it, and he was startled when he flipped it. Since I used a smartphone, it's been about a month and a half, and for about ten days at first, there are still people in the village who call me from time to time - Ruifeng, Chengen, and Iron Lock...... Pulling up again, there was no movement for several days, and occasionally the family called. In the past ten days, there has not been a call from any villager!

I'm not dead yet, I'm forgotten first. Thinking of how much they have contributed to the village in this life, they have forgotten so decisively! The old horse leaned heavily and sadly on the back of his chair, inhaling the cool air.

In the early years, Xuefeng had no money to go to school, and he gave him fifty yuan as a sponsorship, fifty yuan was put aside twenty-five years ago, which was not a small amount, and then he was admitted to college and went out, it didn't matter if he didn't pay it back, he just forgot about other people's concern for him. In the early years, Ma Ting said that the capital was not enough, and he borrowed 1,000 yuan from the old horse, and after three or five years, if the old horse did not encounter something, he was really embarrassed to speak. Later, Ma Ting made a lot of money, as if this incident had not happened! Jiang Wa in Nantou had a serious illness more than ten years ago and had no money to go to a big hospital, so Lao Ma borrowed 800 yuan, and when he repaid the money a few years later, there were two fake tickets mixed with eight 100 yuan green tickets.

Looking back, don't say that I was the village chief to build roads and canals, divert water for irrigation, and call on the village to take the lead in planting fruits...... Even if the neighbors ask him to help with writing, talking, talking about relatives, and doing notarization, there are too many to count, but who remembers these! People take his personal help to them for granted, and they don't thank them, and they often pick and choose! Especially in the past five or six years, Lao Ma has had the idea of picking a child several times. I never complain when I'm tired, and I'm inexplicably weird and provoked a commotion, and I'm pointed at by others!

It wasn't like that when he first took office twenty years ago – people respected and appreciated him back then. Later, the more you give, the more people regard it as deserved!

Now that the new village chief is here, there will inevitably be a new notary, matchmaker, and negotiator to replace him, he has retired, and he is seventy years old, what else can he do? It's time to write off these petty grievances. But when he thought that no one was looking for him, and he didn't even have a greeting phone, the old horse was so depressed that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Not to mention that when you are buried in the soil after a hundred years, once you are too old to use, you will be forgotten in an instant.

He hated the wrinkled and spotted skin of his body, and hated the cruelty and attachment of human nature.

It must be that the village is too busy harvesting fruits in the middle of the summer, and the people in the village are so busy that they don't have time to eat, so how can they call him to greet him-Lao Ma comforted himself. Comforted over and over again.

From the day Shu Yu said that he would give him a superfluous old computer, Tsai Tsai was thinking about what kind of gift he would give Gu Shuyu in return! As soon as Gu Shuyu gave him the computer, Tsai Zai began to choose gifts on the Internet that night, only thinking about giving it to her with great fanfare on her birthday.

The gift given to Gu Shuyu must not be valuable, he didn't want her to have the slightest sense of guilt or burden; It must not be casual or perfunctory, he wants her to remember his gift forever. He Yiming spent a lot of energy, but unfortunately she didn't come. But it doesn't matter, whether she comes or not, he has to give this gift to Gu Shuyu.

In chemistry class, while listening to the class, He Yiming touched the gift in his schoolbag under the table with his hand - it was a multi-functional pink quicksand pen case, with a small mirror and a solar computer, which can be used as a stationery box, a cosmetic bag or glasses case. This is the purchase choice made by Tsai after careful observation of Gu Shuyu's dressing style, water cups, school bags, socks, glasses cases and other things.

Gu Shuyu will definitely like it, He Yiming was proud in his heart, and he just waited for lunch to give it to her.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the three children had lunch together in KFC, and when Ming saw that Handian was not full, he pointed to the chicken legs in his box and said, "This is for you!" I can't eat it anymore. ”

"Okay, then I'll have another chicken leg!" Han Dian unceremoniously reached out and took the chicken leg from the Yiming box and stuffed it into his mouth.

In the noisy fast food restaurant, the three children sat at one table, Gu Shuyu sat on one side, and Han Dian Yiming sat on the other. Han Dian had already gobbled it up, He Yiming was hindered by the existence of Gu Shuyu, eating, walking, and writing during this time were not as barbaric and reckless as usual, and the young man who was invisibly coerced by love always wanted to show his elegance, boldness, humor and other qualities in front of beauties.

When Gu Shuyu finished eating and was wiping her mouth, Tsai took out a box from her bag and said to her: "Shuyu, thank you for your computer, I bought a small gift for you!" Very cheap little gift, don't dislike it! ”

"What gift?" Hu Handian moved the red carton to himself and said.

"Tsk! A pencil case, which my sister is also using! What are you looking at, big boy! Yiming was afraid that Handian would open the box and see the girlish color and style of the pen box, so he quickly moved over and pushed it to Shu Yu and said: "You hurry up and take it, save him from snatching it like a chicken leg!" ”

"You're so polite! But I envy the friendship between the two of you! Gu Shuyu held the box, turned around in the palm of his hand a few times, looked at it a few times, and then put it in his schoolbag.

"What kind of pencil case to send - people like it! I don't know how many people follow Shuyu! Han Dian said casually as he ate the fried chicken minced chicken in the box.

When He Yiming heard this, he was shocked, and his face turned crimson. After calming down for a few seconds, he relieved himself and said, "Let's finish eating and leave, people are urging us to leave with plates!" ”

"Let's go!" After Gu Shuyu finished speaking, he stood up and carried his schoolbag.

The three of them walked out of the fast food restaurant and walked slowly to the tutoring center. As always, Handian walked in the middle, and Shu Yu and Yiming walked on both sides. It's not that He Yiming doesn't have the opportunity to walk in the middle, but how dare a simple and shy young man walk next to a beauty, blushing and heartbeating, nervous and trembling across a person, let alone walking next to her! Now when she heard that she had someone she liked, He Yiming's heart was mixed, and his face was distorted and sad.

"I really envy the two of you, you have someone you like! I haven't met one yet! Sixteen years of maternal fetal solo! He Yiming had the courage to test Shu Yu by making fun of himself.

"Before the end of the term, my goddess's birthday, I gave her a game console, which cost me more than a thousand children, and people still didn't pay much attention to me! So sad! Han Dian grinned and cried.

The conversation was cut off by Han Dian, and Yiming felt a lot of grievances in his heart. But Gu Shuyu didn't refute it, does it prove that she really has someone she likes? The young man's heart will be lucky for a while, desperate for a while, and the fire will burn for a while, and the iceberg will be ten thousand thousands.

"She ignored you, why did she take your gifts?" Shu was puzzled.

"I don't know, anyway, as long as she accepts me, I'll be happy!"

"Do you have a class in high school?" Shu Yu asked.

"Yes!"

"He liked that girl in his third year of junior high school, but fortunately there was a class in one school in high school - you talk about this fate! Wouldn't it be miserable if you liked to be a foreign colonel! I can't see it! Ichiming interjected.

"Hmm!" Gu Shuyu pouted and nodded in agreement.

Tsai Tsai took advantage of the situation and asked: "What do you mean by 'um'?" The person you like is not in the same school as you? The young man deliberately raised the end of his words loudly, and pretended to laugh on his face!

"Yes! My male god is in another school! Shu Yu bowed his head and said.

Hearing this, He Yiming's heart was indescribably anxious - sinking like a thousand pounds of heavy stones smashed into his lungs, and empty as if his internal organs had been drained.

"Why do you all have someone you like, but I don't?" Yiming ended the temptation with a blank face, and the topic turned to something else, and the young man was relieved and heavy.

In the afternoon, there are two English classes and two math classes, how can He Yiming listen to it! On the one hand, he pretended to listen very carefully, and on the other hand, he had to remind himself not to peek at Gu Shuyu again-

Not even a glance at it! She has someone she likes, she is so gentle and quiet, and so beautiful and moving, the person she likes must also like her deeply.

On the other hand, he is black and short, like spilled sand in the crowd, it is really difficult to make people shine, he is definitely not the kind of basketball specialty who is favored by thousands of girls, and he is definitely not the kind of white and pure handsome guy; His academic performance is also average, he works very hard to be considered in the middle and upper reaches of the exam, and he is definitely not the kind of young class genius who can cross grades, nor is he the kind of first place or class leader who is one of the best; His family background is even more average, his mother is an ordinary salesman, his father is an unemployed teacher, and he is definitely not the kind of rich man who spends a lot of money to drive a luxury car, nor is he the kind of powerful family with a deep background!

His eloquence is okay in the class, but when he comes to a formal occasion or meets someone he cares about, he stammers as soon as he opens his mouth; I can play the piano well, but I can only learn those few tunes and skills for many years; His personality is "owed" in his mother's words, "frivolous" in his father's words, and "almost something" in his grandfather's words...... Such a self, even he feels very ordinary, let alone Gu Shuyu, who is so beautiful and intelligent.

Presumably she has been liking, caring, and greeting her recently, and she should be unaware of it! She is so beautiful and pure, there must be no shortage of people who pursue her around her, I'm afraid that the people who have chased her since childhood can form a long line! He Yiming was very worried, he felt that he was useless, and felt that Shu Yugui was a celestial! He was trapped in bottomless humility and could not extricate himself. I can't listen to the lectures, I don't eat when I eat, and I can't do anything.

He is not in love yet, but there is a strong feeling of falling out of love. A heart is so empty that there is nowhere to put it, and it seems that the whole world has lost its color under black pressure! Sixteen-year-old He Yiming felt sick!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhiyuan put on a small skirt and a small hat for Yangyang! On Wednesday, he made an appointment with the orthopedic department of the Third Hospital, thinking that he would have his father-in-law check the foot injury again before he left! The appointment was made at half past two on Friday afternoon, and the old horse had already packed up - a white short shirt, gray Zhengliang pants, a cow belt around his waist, a peaked cap on his head, and a sneaker that Gui Ying bought for him on his left foot. The old man was also carrying a small leather bag, which contained his mobile phone, hookah, lighter, folding fan, and folded sweat towel.

The three of them went out and took a fast car, and after half an hour to the hospital, Zhiyuan was busy getting the number and looking for the department. At almost half past two, the three of them arrived at the waiting area of the orthopedic department, Zhiyuan sat in the first row to read the number, Lao Ma and Yangyang sat in the second row and waited quietly, waiting for more than 20 minutes.

"Dad, it's almost us, let's go and wait at the doctor's door now!"

"Done." The old horse stood up on crutches, and Zhiyuan pulled Yangyang in front to lead the way.

When the call was made on the radio, the old horse entered the doctor's office on crutches. The doctor asked a few questions, opened a list, and the three of them came out together.

"I've waited so long, and I'll be out in less than two minutes!" The old horse frowned and complained in the hallway.

"Western medicine doesn't need to be like Chinese medicine! Dad, you and Yangyang sit here, I'll pay the fee, and after paying the fee, we'll go to another place to shoot a film together! ”

"Cheng, you go."

Zhiyuan turned around and walked out of the orthopedic department, and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

"Does your ass still hurt?" After sitting for a long time, the old horse fanned the fan and asked Yangyang boringly.

Yangyang touched her buttocks, nodded, and then continued to play with the plasticine in her hand.

"You did something wrong, you have to admit your mistake, and apologize to my brother tonight, can it be done?"

Yangyang lowered her head and rubbed her plasticine on the seat, but she ignored it when she heard it.

"When you go home later, you can get a birthday present for your brother - just like you prepared for your parents' birthday, draw a picture for your brother, pinch a little doll, make a gadget or something, and then give it to your brother as a birthday present, will it work?" The old horse bowed his head and bent down, his mouth gently chasing Yangyang's ears.

Yangyang looked up at his grandfather, his eyes flashing with innocence and grievance.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lao Ma continued: "You should be kind to your brother, like you are to your mother and father, so that your brother will love you and will not beat you!" ”

Yang Yang nodded casually, and the old horse knew that she had listened.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the orthopedic surgeon held up the old horse's film, looked at the light and said, "The gap has healed, and the recovery is good!" How many months has the plaster cast been on? ”

"It's been almost four months!" Lao Ma recalled.

"It's ready to be dismantled! It will be demolished in ten days, and it will be demolished now, and you will see when you dismantle it! ”

"Uh......" Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the old horse.

"Now!" The old horse said decisively.

"Okay, I'll make a bill, and you go pay the fee first. After paying the fee, they are waiting for me in the small operating room diagonally opposite the door, I still have a few patients here, and I will go over as soon as I finish reading! The doctor said to Zhiyuan while making a bill on the computer.

"Okay."

Lao Ma and Yangyang waited in the small operation, Zhiyuan went to pay the fee first, and after paying the fee, he also went to the operating room with the list. Ten minutes later, the doctor came with a mask and took a tool to remove the plaster cast from the old horse's feet. After the cast was removed, the doctor left, and his right foot made the operating room smelly and disgusting. Zhiyuan Layang waited outside, and then went in to wet the toilet paper so that the old horse could wipe his feet.

If you don't guard against your feet, you don't have a shoe with you today, and it is inconvenient for the old horse to walk barefoot, so Zhiyuan bought a pair of slippers for him to wear in a small supermarket outside the hospital. The three of them got into the car, Yangyang still disliked his grandfather's smelly feet, covered his nose and pinched his face and looked out of the car window. Lao Ma instructed Zhiyuan to drive to the farmer's market first, and when he got there, Zhiyuan took what Lao Matuo Zhong could buy - the same Newton pendulum that was broken last night, and the three of them rushed back after taking the Newton pendulum.

When he got home, the old horse's right foot could not touch the ground, and it was so stiff that it hurt a little, so the old man walked around the living room with a cane - moving the muscles and bones of his right foot.

"Grandpa, can I make a puppy for my brother?" At sunset, he suddenly came out of the house and asked the old horse.

"What dog?" The old horse didn't hear clearly.

"That's it...... It's a puppy pinched with plasticine! ”

"Do you want to make a birthday present for your brother?" The old horse stopped and bowed his head.

Yang Yang clasped her fingernails and nodded.

"Yes! Yes! You do it in the living room, and grandpa guides you by the way! The old horse continued to walk.

YANGYANG BROUGHT HER DICK - A FULL SET OF PLASTICINE AND VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL TOOLS, AS WELL AS VIDEO TUTORIALS ON THE IPAD, THE LITTLE MAN TOOK A SMALL BENCH TO SUPPORT THE PAD, AND THEN SAT ON THE GROUND AND SERIOUSLY PINCHED THE DOG'S HEAD.

The old horse walked around the Yangyang in circles, and when he saw that the child's family was serious and cute, his heart was as sweet as eating honey. Soon, under the guidance of the old horse, Yangyang pinched a colorful puppy, and did not forget to color, dress, and paint the dog collar.

When the child was done, he sat down on the sofa and hooked his hand to signal Yang Yang to come over.

"Your brother is coming back soon! When your brother comes back, you take this gift - the one you broke yesterday and say 'I'm sorry' to your brother! Then I gave this puppy to my brother and said, 'Brother, this is my birthday present for you', remember? ”

Yang Yang fluttered his eyelashes and shook his head.

The old horse couldn't cry or laugh, and after teaching it three times, Yang Yang barely remembered it.

"Alright, put your stuff in!" The old horse commanded Yangyang to clean up the mess in the living room.
