Chapter 144: The Cost of Growth
Shi Xiucui and I began to return to the state we had when we first went up the mountain. One walked a little in front of him and looked back, while the other walked without making a sound.
I heard people say on TV that women's ideas change when they say they say, and Shi Xiucui may be that kind of woman. My mother, Li Meiling, should not be that kind of woman, because she always talks to me very directly and basically doesn't consult with me.
"Stop, shhhh There is a rabbit. ”
I turned around and made a silent gesture to Shi Xiucui, thinking that my luck in the past two days has been really good.
"Ahh Blocks! ”
Just as I was tiptoeing to adjust my best attack position and prepare to launch a deadly attack on the rabbit, Shi Xiucui's screams affected me, and of course saved the poor rabbit. What's even more annoying is that when I looked back at Shi Xiucui, she just smiled and said that she had just seen a grasshopper and was startled.
"I, I think you just made a mess on purpose, I was going to catch this rabbit and give it to you." I'm a little annoyed with Shi Xiucui.
"Why did you give me a rabbit, I didn't say I wanted that rabbit!" Shi Xiucui was unimpressed by my anger.
"That's it, it's because I also caught a rabbit yesterday, and I ate it with Uncle Quanbao, and I didn't keep it for you. I thought I'd get a chance to catch another one for you today. "I guess my kindness is not understood by her, so I explained.
"I'm glad you could think of me, but Dunzi, if this rabbit still has a child, we eat this rabbit, have you ever thought about what will happen to its child!" Shi Xiucui saw that I was unhappy, so she said to me.
"If the rabbit runs away, it will run away, and if you run away, you won't be able to eat rabbit meat, but it is fragrant!" I said and grimaced at her.
In a few moments, I led her to the boulder in front of the poplar forest. I walked around the boulder, but when I turned around, I couldn't see Shi Xiucui. When she was puzzled, Shi Xiucui actually stuck her head out behind the stone.
"What are you doing, why don't you stay behind the rocks?" I asked Shi Xiucui.
"Aren't I looking for a feeling that you were behind this back then!" Shi Xiucui replied.
When I saw her say that, I simply turned away from her. Shi Xiucui taught me to look shy, but she came to the spirit and followed me into the poplar forest.
"Why don't you leave?" Shi Xiucui saw that I stopped, and she also stopped.
"I'm here to see where you were back then, to find out,,, what can I feel like."
"Hahaha, you, you're ridiculous to death."
I originally wanted to paraphrase what Shi Xiucui said, but the effect was not very good. I saw Shi Xiucui laughing at me, so I sat down and ignored her. This place was opened yesterday, and I can even see the cigarette butts I left on the ground yesterday.
"Dunzi, is there any smoke? I want to smoke a cigarette. Shi Xiucui saw me sit down, and sat next to me.
I handed her a cigarette, thinking that I wouldn't let her find out, that I had been here yesterday.
The violent coughing pulled me back from my reverie, and I saw Shi Xiucui choked on tears and burst into tears.
"Oh, if you can't smoke, don't smoke!" I finally caught something that could laugh at Shi Xiucui.
"Dunzi, why do you say people like to smoke?" Shi Xiucui was thoughtful.
"How do I know, it's that when I see Uncle Zhang, he smokes whenever something happens. Uncle Quan Bao has nothing to do with a bag of cigarettes. I answered honestly.
"Liu Quanbao is still a very good person, I remember when I first came here, there was no one I knew. He's the first person I've ever met here. Shi Xiucui seemed to be lost in thought.
"Uncle Quan Bao is very nice, he is really kind. It's just that you are a little ,,, to him" I want to say it bluntly, but I am afraid that Shi Xiucui will be unhappy.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the women around him, those people, it's uncomfortable to see Brother Quan Bao help me. There are some things that I have done a little too much, but Brother Quan Bao really has to carefully screen it, don't cut it into the basket is the dish! If I were him, I would find someone who did my duty. "Shi Xiucui said this, I somewhat agree with her point of view.
"What about people, aren't you too, aren't you also with Uncle Degui!" I'm starting to pout again.
"What do you know, hey, I said Dunzi, are you particularly curious about my affairs?" When Shi Xiucui heard me say this, she asked me instead.
"No, no, I'm not curious. What is there to be curious about. I avoided Shi Xiucui's eyes.
"I, when I was in my third year of high school, I met Guo Degui. He was a substitute teacher in our third year of high school, and the two of us got better. ”
"Then why are you separated again? You also gave birth to Uncle Deguang. ”
"You little thing, didn't you say you didn't want to know about me?" Shi Xiucui said with a smile.
"That's what you told me yourself, and I didn't ask you to say it." I still insisted on holding on to my mouth.
"I was still young at that time, and my father and my mother were still divorcing at that time, so I especially needed someone like Guo Degui." Shi Xiucui did not react to what I said, but continued her story.
"Actually, you can't look at this person, just say Guo Degui, I gave him everything, but she fell in love with a lover of Guo Deguang, who is said to be a Soviet. The Soviet man didn't want to see Guo Degui at all, and one day Guo Degui took advantage of Guo Deguang's absence to violate the Soviet woman. Of course, the Soviet woman quit, so she found Guo Deguang and said that she wanted to call the police.
Fortunately, when Guo Degui violated the Soviet woman, it was at night, and the Soviet woman mistook Guo Degui for Guo Deguang, and Guo Degui ran away in a panic afterwards.
When the real Guo Deguang came back the next day, the Soviet woman asked him about the previous night. Guo Deguang didn't know that his younger brother could do such a non-human thing! Do you think Guo Degui was a top student of the provincial Normal University at that time! ”
"My mom admires educated people!" I interjected at an inopportune time, and Shi Xiucui looked at me and smiled a little mysteriously.
"What are you laughing at, my mother has a good impression of cultured people."
"yes, I heard that your dad is also a college student!" Shi Xiucui said to me.
"My dad graduated from a technical school, and he didn't go to a serious university."
"I'm talking about your own father, you will know this later, you can also ask Meiling's sister-in-law."
"You can pull it down, she has gone abroad, where can I ask her to go!" You should tell me about Guo Shuiling's father! "I dodged my own father's question.
"Of course Guo Shuiling's father is Guo Deguang, do you need to say this!
After Guo Deguang listened to the words of the Soviet woman, he thought that his younger brother Guo Degui was very similar to his own accent and body shape.
Guo Degui is also a thief, and when he saw Guo Deguang, he admitted the matter. I'm not saying that Guo Degui shouldn't admit it.
Guo Deguang was also a little panicked, because the woman was a foreigner, and if she really called the police, the matter would be bigger, but it would be an international issue. He decided to have a good talk with Guo Degui to see if he could let Guo Degui turn himself in, so that it would not affect him Guo Deguang himself.
Under the threat of Guo Deguang, Guo Degui knelt down for me when he came back and saw me, and kowtowed to me, saying that only I could save him. He asked me to persuade Guo Deguang to help stabilize the Soviet lover.
I went to find Guo Deguang, but they didn't have any room to discuss with me. also said that since Guo Degui violated his brother's lover, he would not even have to be a brother in the future.
I saw that there was no room for recovery, so I said to Guo Deguang, since Guo Degui violated your lover, I can only compensate you with myself. Shi Xiucui started crying again.
"And what about later? Later the Soviets ,,,"
"No, she didn't denounce Guo Degui, but I have Guo Shuiling. You said I don't want Guo Deguang, who am I looking for!
These men are unreliable, woo woo! None of you men are good. Shi Xiucui cried even more.
"Don't cry, men aren't weirdos, it's just, it's just that you haven't met a good person!"
"Dunzi, do you think you can be a reliable man when you grow up?" Shi Xiucui stopped crying.
"I, I'm a good man now! I'm not going to do those, those bad things. ”
Before I could finish speaking, Shi Xiucui leaned on my shoulder. My heart was beating so fast that I felt like I was out of breath. I thought about running away, but I chose to stay.
……………………
That day in the poplar forest, Shi Xiucui made me a real man from a physiological point of view. Later, I found out that what she wanted was my trustworthiness.
"Dunzi, everything is voluntary on my part, and I'm leaving here anyway. But I still hope that you, I hope that in the future, you don't tell anyone about us and treat it as a secret between us, okay? Shi Xiucui said to me.
"I'm leaving too, don't worry, I'm a reliable man." I feel a stronger sense of responsibility.
"It's still a man, you little kid, don't pretend." Shi Xiucui teased me
"I do what I say, believe it or not!" I'm a little annoyed.
"Don't look at your body like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, in fact, you are still a child psychologically." Shi Xiucui's expression didn't look like she was joking.
"Even if it's a child, I'll keep it a secret." I was inadvertently caught in her agitation.
"I used the money you gave me to book a three-bedroom house in the provincial capital. I'll pay the money tomorrow, and I'll take Guo Shuiling to live in the provincial capital in the future. Do you regret giving me that money? Shi Xiucui said to me.
"That money was originally left by Grandpa Guo! I think his own granddaughter should be happy to get the money! "That's what I really thought.
"Then when you found out about the money, why didn't you tell Guo Deguang?" Shi Xiucui asked again.
"I really don't know this, when I first found out about the money, I thought about telling Uncle Quanbao, and then I was wrong because of something. Later, I also wanted to tell Uncle Guo, but I didn't say it for some reason. ”
"It's right not to tell them, I want you not to talk about this matter to anyone else in the future, okay? This is another of our secrets! "Shi Xiucui is kind and seductive.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiucui, since I can find out the money for you, I won't have any other intentions for it, and it is impossible for me to go out and talk about it." I swear by it.
"I believe in you, you're a man you can rely on!" Shi Xiucui continued to praise.
"Aunt Xiucui, you didn't actually want to come out to see the scenery today, did you!"
"Even if it's it! My biggest takeaway today was finding a man I could rely on. ”
I was a little confused, Aunt Jia asked me to send materials at the cost of marrying Uncle Quanbao. Shi Xiucui asked me to keep it a secret at her own expense.
That's the price of my upbringing.
