In the past two weeks, Tian Xiaoxia's mood was a little disordered, she just saw Shaoping, she felt strange and shocked, and she couldn't care about what to say! Yes, Sun Shaoping has changed, and she has become almost unrecognizable. That's not to say that his appearance has changed – his appearance has changed, but the main change is not his appearance.

He was still as melancholy as he had been in middle school, and his clothes were as tattered as they had been then; However, unlike in the past, he has begun to live independently, think independently, and have chosen a difficult path of struggle.

To tell the truth, although she used to look at this man differently and thought that there were many unusual things about him, after going to college, she seemed to believe that Sun Shaoping would not escape the fate of most rural students in the end: to build a family, have children, and enjoy himself in the vast world.

Now that the rural policy has been relaxed, people like Shaoping will certainly be outstanding figures among the peasants, and they may become rich and become the envy of the villagers. I remember that when she graduated from high school, she also told him that she hoped that he would never become a secular peasant, and all she said was to eat, with a blanket on her shoulders, and she was looking at the street of Shibijie to buy a cheap pig baby......

For this reason, in the two years that Shaoping returned to the village, she kept sending him books and trying her best to remind him not to lose his lofty ideals...... Later, she gradually realized that real life was cold...... Although Tian Xiaoxia deduced Sun Shaoping's future fate in this way, due to the deep friendship in middle school, she was not ready to sever contact with Shaoping after going to college.

It's just that after she wrote to him a year ago, he didn't reply to her, and she seemed to feel some relief in regret. She will never forget this friend of her teenage years for the rest of her life; But she knew that she might not even meet him again in the years to come, and at best a former friend who would remain in her memory......

But this unexpected reunion made Tian Xiaoxia know from his conversation that this is already a person who has a unique understanding of life, for this reason, she is looking forward to this meeting more and more, the last time she spoke was too short, not enough to see his changes clearly, Tian Xiaoxia faintly looked forward to Sun Shaoping in her heart to bring her more surprises.

For this reason, at five o'clock in the afternoon, she came here early to wait, and even secretly lay on the broken window of the cave, peeping inside like a thief, she wanted to know the environment in which Shaoping lived now.

Although the cave was dilapidated, it was clean and tidy, completely different from the messy appearance she saw when she went to the boys' dormitory at school, and even more different from the results she had observed on the construction site where she had been working for a few days.

The bedding on the kang was neatly folded, and near the window was an old table with several books, the top of which was "The Gadfly" by the Irish writer Voynich, which told the life of the Italian revolutionary Gadfly, who I had borrowed from Mr. Jia Bing the last time we met.

There is still some manuscript paper pressed under the book, and some words can be vaguely seen, and his handwriting seems to be much better than when he was in high school, and it seems that he has practiced a lot after returning home.

There are two chairs in front of the desk, and there are simple kitchen utensils next to it, and he usually cooks by himself? Maybe you can bring some food to cook with him next time? Tian Xiaoxia looked at her watch, it seemed too late to go grocery shopping now, which made her a little regretful.

But this regret did not last long, and after a while the man she was waiting for returned, dressed as a tattered laborer, carrying some cooked food and vegetables in his hand.

It seems that the two of us want to go together, Tian Xiaoxia's heart is full of joy, and she hurriedly greeted her, Shen Long smiled and handed her the things in his hand, and then took the key to open the door, "If you come a little late, I can go back and clean up the clothes that don't match my identity, but this is purely for polite reasons!" ”

Tian Xiaoxia liked this humor, lifted the steamed bun in her hand and shook it, "I'll go stir-fry, let's eat first!" ”

"I'll do it anyway." Shen Longma lit a fire and began to stir-fry, there was a little more fireworks in the cave, Tian Xiaoxia was not idle, squatting in the corner to help light the fire, and asked him about the latest situation from time to time.

"Sometimes I think that no matter how good a writer is, he can't write about the original charm of life....." Shen Long told the story of the radish flower and the spirit incense, "This kind of rich feeling can only be shaped by life itself, and any words seem pale and powerless in front of this." ”

Tian Xiaoxia was also moved by this story, although the school is still strict about falling in love, but there are still people among her classmates who talk secretly, all of them are young boys and girls in their prime, and how many can withstand the temptation of love? Among them, there are many who are heartbroken and tired of life because of broken love.

But compared with the radish flower, their feelings seem a little fluttering, this is love, no matter in that social class, whether there is culture or not, love can always give birth to beautiful and sad flowers.

"You can observe this and relay it to me in such vivid language, I think you have the potential to be a writer." Tian Xiaoxia commented that at this time, she didn't think that after becoming a writer, he could improve his social status, so that he could walk on the street with herself generously, she just exuded simple emotion.

"The Loess Plateau has precipitated thousands of years of hardship and suffering, and has also brewed countless stories with a long aftertaste, and if you can grow up in this environment, if you can experience these, you have the potential to become a writer." Shen Long replied with a smile, and put the dishes into the bowl in a hurry, "Actually, I really wrote something, you can help me take a look at it after eating in a while." ”

"Really?!" Tian Xiaoxia stood up excitedly and asked repeatedly, "Where is it?" What is written? I want to see it now! ”

"It's on the table, under the books! I just wrote a beginning, see it's no problem, don't laugh at me for not being able to do it for a while! Shen Long pointed to the table and said, "Oh, it's a little dark in the cave, and you haven't pulled the wires yet, so you can light the oil lamp!" ”

"Just listen to what you just said, the writing must be no better." Tian Xiaoxia walked to the desk, came back, and took a burning piece of wood from the stove hole to light the oil lamp.

By the flickering light of the oil lamp, he took out the manuscript paper pressed under the book, flipped through it, and found that there were about three or four pages and two thousand words written, and it seemed to be one book.

I sat down and turned to the first page again, only to see the name of this one written on the top of the manuscript paper - "Yellow Earth"!
