Preface:
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people of the four seasons describe my Erqian's home. I heard my father say that my family used to make a living by fishing, but because my grandfather and eldest brother, whom I had never met, died in the sea, they had been farming for a living, and the family had always been poor, so I never went out of the mountains. Until outsiders came to our village, and they went around exploring and surveying. It's just these people that make my life no longer ordinary.
"The weather is not good, and it is not easy to go to sea." Sitting at the door of my house and looking out at the people going out to sea, I just said casually, but I said it into a prophecy.
None of the people who had gone out to sea that day returned, and at dinner in the evening, my father said, "If you keep your mouth shut outside, don't let a small mistake be a big one." ”
I just thought I was a crow's mouth, so I didn't talk any more.
In about a year, the village has changed dramatically, many thatched huts like mine have been turned into villas, and the lake has become a tourist attraction. With the increase in the number of outsiders and the occupation of land, the young people of the village either went out or stayed as boatmen in tourist attractions, and I had neither a diploma nor a swimmer because I had never been near the water's edge, so I had to provide simple meals with my father for those solo travelers.
"Welcome." Push the smile on your face.
Two or three individual guests sat down in not too casual tights. One of the men wiped the bench and wiped the table with a disgusted look on his face and said, "It's so dirty here?" ”
If it's dirty, don't come in, you can go to the luxury hotel in front of you. I was dissatisfied in my heart, but I said calmly: "What can I ask a few guests to eat?" ”
They are not stingy in ordering, after all, the small shop can only cook those few dishes. After a few people finished eating for a long time, they didn't plan to leave, and my father and I sat in the courtyard and watched the sunset that was gradually setting at the moment. The father took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "They haven't left yet?" ”
I nodded. My father looked back and said no more, my father was honest and didn't quarrel with anyone else, but I knew that my father actually wanted these people to leave, after all, at this time the sun was setting, my father was going back to his room and began to plan to sleep, because my father would not waste a trace of oil lamp.
After I understood what my father meant, I walked into the house, looked at four or five people, and said, "A few guests, it is cloudy and sunny, our small shop does not provide accommodation, a few guests should hurry up to the front and find a place to stay." ”
One of them smiled and said, "Don't worry, this little brother, we have seen the weather in this area before we go out, and we will leave after a while without disturbing you." ”
I didn't want to say more, but as soon as I arrived, the annoying man stood up again and looked at me and said, "Little brother, it's not a good thing to open the door to do business and chase customers." ”
Maybe it was because the guests saw through my mind all of a sudden, and my face immediately turned red and I said angrily: "You don't believe that it will rain tonight." ”
After saying that, I blushed and returned to my father. At this time, my father was already asleep on the chaise longue, and I gently woke him up and said, "Father can go back to the house and sleep when it is cold, and I will lock the door when they are gone." ”
My father and I were not in the same room, but my father used to lock the door last, and when he saw him enter the room, I lay down in the rocking chair, dizzy, and I didn't know I was asleep until a drop of rain fell on my face. I hurried in, and the guests had already left, and when I saw that the furnishings around me had not changed, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought to myself that my house was so poor, and there was nothing to steal.
On the lake, the group who had eaten at Erqian's house before said with a bit of a stinky temper: "What the hell is this weather, we can't act today." ”
"I really didn't expect that stinky boy's crow beak to be so accurate."
"We finally got the news, if we don't go now, we don't know when it will be next time, not to mention that the rain is not very heavy."
"Let's go, then."
A few people didn't know where to find the wooden boat and slid into the lake.
And this scene is all clearly seen by the man with the black umbrella at this moment. Although the man did not show up, he was tall, and his golden ratio figure knew that he was not an ordinary person.
Er Qian was about to close the door of his yard in the rain, but suddenly felt that the rain above him seemed to be gone. Er Qian subconsciously looked up but saw that it was the man in black before at this moment, and the man in black happened to use an umbrella to support the rain for Er Qian. The man said in a magnetic voice, "Little brother, can I stay in the hotel?" ”
Erqian hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, we don't provide housing services here, so you better leave." ”
The man in front of him also hesitated for a while and said, "You see that this rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are mud roads everywhere here, so you can do it." ”
Er Qian poked his head out of the umbrella a little, looked at the sky at the moment, shook his head, and said, "Okay, you can talk about it first." ”
After coming in, Er Qian didn't turn on the only oil lamp in his house, because it was used for emergencies. After the man entered the house, Er Qian said, "You be quiet, someone in my house is already asleep." ”
The man nodded, and Er Qian thought for a while and said, "Since the heavens are not beautiful, you can stay at my house tonight, but although we don't provide accommodation, we will also charge money tonight." ”
"This one is relieved."
Erqian saw that the man was not dressed like a person who was short of money, and said, "You can sleep in the same room with me today." ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and in the middle of the night there was lightning and thunder, and a white lightning bolt on the lake slammed into the water. Early the next morning, Er Qian opened his eyes and looked at the man sleeping next to him at the moment and did not wake up, after all, he was a tenant. Erqian pushed open the door of his house and stretched out a big lazy waist, but he heard the voice of a village woman outside the door. Curious, Erqian stepped forward to hear the woman's words. It turned out that her husband was going to go out of the lake to fish this morning, but as soon as he arrived on the shore, he found that his family's fishing boat had been stolen.
When Erqian came home, he saw that his father had also gotten up. When his father saw Erqian at first glance, he said angrily: "Who are you going to leave the food on the table for?" ”
Only then did Er Qian remember that he hadn't washed the dishes yet. The father still said unrelentingly: "How can you marry a girl in the village if you are so lazy." ”
"Even if I'm not lazy, I can marry a girl in the village." I muttered in a dissatisfied voice, and I was even more unconvinced, if my father let me go to sea to fish, I wouldn't even have a stable income now.
Just as Er Qian and his father had just calmed down, the man who had spent the night last night came out of the house in a while. The father got up from the stool in surprise when he saw the man. Erqian put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and glanced at the man, and said, "Guest, you are awake." ”
"I'm sorry to disturb last night." The man pulls the money out of his pocket and hands it to you.
I was about to wipe my hands and collect the money, but my father said at this time, "Since it is a good karma, I will not accept money." ”
The man didn't take the money back, but I didn't get it back at this time, and when the man left, I looked at my father angrily and said, "Father is really atmospheric, do you know how much money people gave us, how much money is this?" ”
"Why do you only have money in your eyes, what is the difference between you and those people from outside?"
"It's different, then I'm really curious, why does my father look down on outsiders, does my father think he is higher than them?"
