Section III
In those days, when he opened his eyes, he looked forward to the early arrival of dusk, because only then could he enter the warm health center of Osmanthus, and then he sat in front of Osmanthus like a sick person, with red mouth and white teeth, and said something about grinding his teeth.
Throughout the day, he always seemed to be in high spirits, and he was distracted from what he was doing. The villagers who were idle in the farm, holding their arms in their sleeves, came to Second Brother Li's house one after another to sit down, listening to *** talk about the affairs of the army over and over again. When it came to the affairs of the army, his energy was not so concentrated, and from time to time he looked through the doors and windows of his house in the direction of the health center. There was no place to go in his home, because there was still a long way to go, but he still looked at it again and again.
At noon, Uncle Yu came with a sad face, Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li still enthusiastically let Yu Third Uncle go, Third Uncle Yu sat on the edge of the kang and looked at *** with appreciation, when he was a soldier for two years, he was no longer used to sitting on the kang, so he stood on the ground, looking very tall, as if standing on the sentry post.
Third Uncle Yu smacked his lips and said: Xuejun, this kid is out of breath. He didn't understand why the *** Wang branch secretary, who was already out of the kang and couldn't get used to it, couldn't look down on it, he was a little regretful, and then the third uncle turned around and discussed with Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li.
Third Uncle Yu slurped again and said: Otherwise, my eldest brother in Nantun graduated from high school last year, and she doesn't have anything to choose, or I'll talk about it.
Obviously, Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li had an impression of the girl in Nantun, and quickly nodded and said: Then it will be hard for him to be Third Uncle Yu.
Third Uncle Yu made it look like he was about to set off, at this time, *** only had osmanthus in his head, and he couldn't hold the shadow of others at all, so he immediately said: Third Uncle Yu Forget it, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to talk about the object.
Second sister-in-law Li glared at ***, and said as a mother: Don't say stupid things, you will be twenty-three in the New Year, and when you come back from demobilization, it will be twenty-four or five, and at that time, I am afraid that good girls will be picked away.
Third Uncle Yu also said: Boy, there will be no such shop after this village.
Still stiffening his neck and saying: I'm not in a hurry anyway.
Third Uncle Yu seemed to see the signs of *** and osmanthus, and said from the bottom of his heart: Osmanthus that girl is good, I can see that she seems to like you a lot, but her father Wang branch secretary disagreed, and he said it to me in person yesterday.
I don't know the inside story, and when I heard this, my heart sank suddenly, but he still said with iron teeth: I'm just not in a hurry. When he said this, his heart was still a little empty.
Second Brother Li seemed to see the weakness of ***, and then said as a parent: His third uncle is so decided, I see that the girl in Nantun, I will trouble you to go for a trip, come back in the evening, and let's drink.
Third Uncle Yu was encouraged, he got down from the kang, patted *** on the shoulder and said: Boy, it's right to listen to the older generation.
Then he went out enthusiastically and walked towards Nantun.
At this time, ***'s heart was in turmoil, and for some reason he hated osmanthus a little, because Osmanthus's father, the king's branch secretary, began to hate osmanthus. When he was a soldier, he hated Wang Zhishu a little, and it was naturally Wang Zhishu who was the final say, and there were several young people of school-age at that time, and there was only one place for them to recruit soldiers. The enthusiasm is very high, and Second Brother Li also supports it, but if he doesn't move around, this quota may fall on someone.
Second Brother Li discussed with *** and decided to send two bottles of wine to Wang Zhishu, the wine was original wine, and it cost a few yuan.
In the evening, *** accompanied his father to the Wang branch secretary's house, when he entered the door, *** couldn't move forward, first, he didn't know what to say when he entered the door, and second, he was afraid to see the osmanthus, and begged the Wang branch secretary in front of the osmanthus, and he felt ashamed.
Second Brother Li saw ***'s thoughts and scolded: Unproductive goods. I have been standing in the shadows outside listening to the movements of Wang Zhishu's house.
Dad said: Branch secretary, please leave the matter of the child in Xuejun to you.
After speaking, my father put the two bottles of wine on the table of the Wang branch secretary very seriously, and the two bottles of wine made a very real sound, showing the weight of the original wine.
Dad also said: Branch secretary, your kindness and I will remember it for the rest of our lives.
The branch secretary said: Li Lao Er, what kind is not kind, I have written down this matter, and when the time comes, talk to the person who receives the troops, and see if it works.
Dad heard the meaning of the branch secretary's prevarication in the house, and Xuejun also heard it outside, and he was sweating heavily.
The father stood in the shadow of the lamp and was silent for a while, he didn't seem to know what to say, and when he was in a hurry, he knelt down for the branch secretary with a plop, and said in a choked voice: The branch secretary, I, Li Lao Er, beg you.
The branch secretary said: Li Lao Er, what are you doing, what are you doing, hurry up.
I don't know how long it took, Li Lao Er came out, and *** saw two tears hanging from the corners of his father's eyes.
Things didn't expect it to go well, and during the physical examination, only *** was physically qualified, and *** justifiably became a soldier and left. The way he is now, he has come to this point on his own strength. Recalling the scene when his father begged for a secretary, his heart still trembled. For some reason, he was even more eager to see the osmanthus, and when he saw the osmanthus for some reason, he had some anger on his face. Osmanthus seems to have been sitting there waiting for him for 10,000 years. Osmanthus didn't seem to see the change on ***'s face, and said with a strange look: Why did you come.
As soon as he sat down, there was nothing left, and he seemed to be deflated. Gentle to death, he looked at the osmanthus with obsessive eyes, the osmanthus scarf was still on the back of the chair, perhaps because of the fire, her face was red, looking young and healthy.
I didn't want to go around in any circle with Osmanthus, so I said straightforwardly: Uncle Yu is going to introduce me to someone.
Osmanthus also seemed to be shocked, and said as if stimulated: Who?
said: It is the red plum in Nantun, which is one year lower than ours.
Osmanthus said: She, what's so good about Hongmei. When I was a child, I always dragged a snot bubble.
When Osmanthus said this, the appearance of Hongmei when she was a child appeared in front of ***, Hongmei always seemed to have so much snot, and she couldn't wipe it off, *** thought of this, and wanted to laugh.
Osmanthus said: What are you laughing at?
But he replied: This world is too small, but I didn't expect to turn around and come back.
Osmanthus seemed to have been hit, her mood suddenly dropped, she didn't speak for a long time, and she felt that the effect she wanted came out.
Say: Why don't you speak?
Osmanthus said: You should be busy with blind dates, why do you still have the heart to gossip about me.
This time it was ***'s turn to be silent. After a while, he said: Osmanthus, why are you still undecided?
Osmanthus raised her head, blushed and said: You don't know our people yet, and I haven't taken a fancy to any of them.
When she said this, *** body shook a little, but immediately said: What are you looking for?
Osmanthus was silent for a while, and said in a trembling voice: I want to find a promising one.
Say: What do you mean by promising?
Osmanthus said: Those who go out will never come back.
After Osmanthus said this, her eyes looked at *** hotly, and she panted and said: I heard them say that you are doing a good job in the army, and you are about to join the party, when will you be able to do it?
was hit by Osmanthus Flower's eyes all of a sudden, and what Osmanthus said just now, he didn't seem to hear anything. At that time, he only thought about one thing in his heart, osmanthus, you are the osmanthus of the Wang branch secretary.
Thinking of this, I don't know whether it was pride or resentment, he suddenly threw himself at the osmanthus, and at the same time brought down the stool behind him, which was a stool for the patient to sit on. Osmanthus seemed to be waiting for ***'s pounce, and she had been waiting for a long time, and she immediately melted into ***'s arms. She pressed the osmanthus against the medicine cabinet behind her, and there was a lock on it, and the key was still inserted on it, and there was a rattling sound. Both of them were shaking like patients.
At this time, for some reason, I thought of Wang Zhishu and the scene where my father knelt down for Wang Zhishu. He hugged Osmanthus with more strength, and Osmanthus made an "oh oh" sound from her mouth, she seemed to want to say something, but she just couldn't say it.
The hand boldly reached into the osmanthus cotton coat, and pulled out the shirt inside the osmanthus, and the hand melted with the hot skin of the osmanthus. Osmanthus trembled desperately, as if she had become a patient with a high fever. The hand finally reached in again.
The two were panting, trembling, pushing and pestering. Osmanthus finally poured a breath and said angrily: Xuejun, you, don't be like this.
Without saying a word, he closed his eyes, he was holding the osmanthus flower, but in his mind it was the image of Wang Zhishu.
I don't know how long it took, but the two of them calmed down and hugged each other. By this time, the sky outside was already dark. There was only a little remnant of the fire left, floating in the furnace.
said: Your father disagrees with you and me.
Osmanthus said: He can't control my business.
Say: Do you really agree with me?
Osmanthus said: As long as you don't come back in the army, I can marry you ten times.
This time, *** heard it clearly, and his body suddenly relaxed, as if someone had shot him in the back. The *** who calmed down left the osmanthus, bent down on the ground to pick up the stool, and sat on it, at this time he felt weak, more tired than five kilometers of cross-country.
Both of them were silent in the dark, and at this moment, *** remembered the experience that the veteran taught him, the soldier went home to visit his relatives, and the girls on the blind date were all in the mood to marry the officer. Raw rice is cooked into mature rice, and that's the only way it can be. Thinking of this, *** rekindled hope, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he had to clean up the osmanthus as soon as possible, and it was too late for her to regret it. Thinking of this, he hugged Osmanthus again, and Osmanthus seemed to be mentally prepared this time, and she looked very calm.
It was only then that Osmanthus came to her senses, and she began to struggle, saying in her mouth: This is not good, it is too early. No, it's too early.
I don't understand why she said it was too early, what does it mean to be too early?
That hand could only stay on "that", as long as he wanted to go deeper, Osmanthus began to struggle. Later, *** stopped like that, fully feeling the osmanthus. I don't know how long it took for his hands to be numb by the belt of osmanthus flowers, and he reluctantly took out his hands.
Osmanthus was very calm, he took it out and said: Okay, it's not early, I should go home.
After saying that, he stood up and tidied up his clothes, then picked up the scarf from the ground and put it on, and walked outside.
followed behind and said unwillingly: Then what is the matter of ours.
Osmanthus said: As long as you don't come back in the army, I can marry you ten times.
When she broke up with ***, she didn't say goodbye, and she didn't ask *** to go to her health center again. swallowed his saliva and said in his heart that sooner or later he would have to "clean up" you.
When I got home, my father and Uncle Yu's wine had reached the end. As soon as he entered the house, Second Brother Li said: Xuejun, where have you been, Third Uncle Yu has been waiting for you for two hours.
I didn't say anything, sat on the edge of the kang and ate.
Third Uncle Yu said with a big tongue: This time it's okay, the girl from Nantun Hongmei agrees, it depends on when we get engaged.
I haven't said anything yet, just eat.
Father and Third Uncle Yu didn't say anything, just cared about the two of them drinking one cup after another, and then said something about the full moon with the strength of the wine.
After sending away Third Uncle Yu, Second Brother Li said: When will we get engaged to Hongmei, listen to you.
Say: I am not engaged.
Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li looked at him with their mouths wide open.
Second sister-in-law Li didn't drink, so she said very calmly: Silly boy, if you don't get engaged, when you come back from demobilization, you won't even be able to find Hongmei.
Unswervingly said: If you want to find it, you can find something like osmanthus, and you want to engage only with osmanthus.
Second Brother Li said with a big tongue: What do you want, the Wang branch secretary disagrees.
Say confidently: Osmanthus agrees.
Li's second sister-in-law said: You are with Osmanthus.
Didn't nod, didn't shake his head.
Second Brother Li shook his head and said: What is what Osmanthus said, in the end, she still has to listen to her father. There are a few people in our brigade who dare not listen to the Wang branch secretary, and when you come back, you will also have to be led by the Wang branch secretary, don't dream.
He smiled coldly at his parents, thinking, you have a thousand plans, and I have certain rules.
