Chapter 2: Time is rippling
Old man Li and the grandmother of the Li family have long been standing at the door of their own house, looking at their two precious grandchildren, both of them keep their mouths slightly open, and their necks are stretched out in the old lookout posture.
When the two pairs of presbyopia finally saw the familiar figure, the folds on their faces instantly bloomed.
If it hadn't been raining, I guess I wouldn't have been able to rush up there.
The two happily welcomed a group of young people who had returned from the heavy rain into the hall, and the room, which was originally a little cold because of the two old men, instantly came alive.
"It's an old house, isn't it? Looks like it's been a few years! It's very rustic! As soon as Ming Jing entered the house, she looked up and down and commented.
"If you want to live in a small western-style building, you can follow Jiang Yuan, the small western-style building where their family lives, and a car." Li Heng glanced at Jiang Yuan and found that she was also looking at him, so he quickly turned around and walked towards the back room.
Li Xiaochun hugged his grandparents and asked with a happy face.
The old couple smiled and narrowed their eyes, and while responding to their granddaughter, they beckoned them to hurry into the back room to eat, saying that the meal had already been prepared, and they would wait for them to fry a few dishes and eat.
The Li family's house is not small, but it was built relatively early, which should be considered a relatively good house thirty years ago, and the houses in the countryside have no sense of design, and there is no one in the early years, they are all four-square designs.
The design of their house is a hall in the middle, with a large bedroom on either side and two smaller bedrooms in the back. Behind the house is a cement open field about seven or eight meters long, and on the left side of the open space is a bedroom-sized kitchen, which is built sideways to the small bedroom on the left. On the right is the toilet and the pigsty, and there are two half-sized fat pigs lying in the pen who are full of food and drink and sleep. Next to the pigsty is a chicken coop, where about a dozen adult chickens, male and female, live. It's raining today, and the chickens are all locked in cages and not released, and usually these chickens are released and don't slip away until it gets dark and don't come back. Out into the open is a large vegetable garden surrounded by green nets. There are all kinds of seasonal vegetables in it, and the spirit is strong and strong.
Follow his classmate Li Heng to the countryside to experience the brightness of life, as soon as he entered the house and looked around, he called excitedly after seeing the pigs in the backyard, and took a photo of the two pigs screaming, it seems that he will definitely send a circle of friends, and he will definitely take a photo of the chicken pen after a while.
The two pigs were woken up by his movements, and they hummed when they looked at Ming Jing, and they didn't know that the two of them were open with two small black round eyes, humming and wanting to communicate with Ming Jing, anyway, they kept humming, and it was estimated that it was the first time they saw a teenager from a big city, and they were as excited as Ming Jing.
Li Xiaochun, who was already hungry and couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and eat the potatoes and pork ribs stewed by his grandparents, stood at the door of the kitchen, looked at the teenager in the distance, and expressed his emotion: "People in our village are called hillbillies when they enter the city. ”
"What's it called? It's very good, it's called "experiencing life", and it's better than a hillbilly anyway. Jiang Yuan also came out with a bowl of potato stewed pork ribs, stood next to Li Xiaochun and said.
"Your grandparents' stewed soup is so delicious!" Jiang Yuan, who was drinking the soup, couldn't help but praise.
"No, when I go to school outside, I often miss the taste of my grandparents' food." Li Xiaochun sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"You dead old man, I told you, I'll fry garlic sprouts, I'll fry you, you have to rob you with me!" In the kitchen, there was the voice of the grandmother of the Li family arguing with the old man Li.
The two men looked back.
Old man Li was putting garlic sprouts into the pot, and the Li family's grandmother was about to reach out to grab it, but the two of them were at a stalemate, and they were arguing that the other party's fried dishes were not as delicious as their own, and they wanted to fry the children by themselves.
It was Li Heng who persuaded both of them to be comfortable, and the two of them cooperated with a stir-fry, and the grievances and grievances of adding firewood will go on.
"These two grandparents of yours are really two living treasures, and they are so cute." Jiang Yuan swallowed the soup and commented.
Li Xiaochun's smiling eyes narrowed, "I found that the older they get, the more troublesome they are, they all say that old children and old children, they are models, but at most they are just a little trouble, and they usually don't go out and go together." ”
Jiang Yuan drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and said sincerely, "It's not easy to go through a lifetime together!" ”
After a while, the dishes were all on the table, and a table of young people and two old people squeezed the Li family's kitchen of more than 30 square meters warmly.
It was already dark outside, and if it weren't for the heavy rain at the moment, the weather would be cooler, and I would really be sweating hot inside.
Shan Tianye, who hadn't eaten all day, after picking up the bowl and drinking the first sip of soup, his eyes were instantly wet, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks and rushed out of the kitchen.
Leaned weakly under the eaves, silently bent his knees and squatted down, facing the pouring rain, tears flowed unconsciously.
Just that taste.......... The taste of home, the taste of parents.
Something in his body that had been numb woke up, and his five organs ached. He buried his head in his knees, letting the pain spread.
After a while, a pair of hands touched his back, it was Li Heng.
Li Heng squatted down beside him, silently, and did not speak.
Li Heng knew that something happened to him, he suddenly disappeared for a period of time before graduation, and after coming back, he was depressed like a lost soul, and his whole temperament changed greatly, sometimes he cricked his head and clashed with his classmates at every turn, and sometimes he lay in the dormitory all day long, staring at his mobile phone without saying a word.
You ask him, and he only says it's okay, but everyone can tell that there's something wrong with him.
Li Heng still remembered that the day before he was going home, Shan Tianye looked at him with an almost pleading look, begging like a child: "No matter where you go, take me with you!" ”。 In college, they have been together for two years and live in the same dormitory, they are the confidants who understand each other's ambitions best, and they are the buddies who can talk to each other the most.
And that day was a single field he had never seen before, like a child with nothing, begging for support from adults. At that moment, his eyes filled with tears, what destroyed a once talented and high-spirited teenager?
Li Xiaochun in the kitchen, after his brother followed him out, expressed dissatisfaction: "Is this guy usually like this?" It's the same as no one can see in your eyes? ”
Ming Jing, who was satisfied with eating, raised her head from her rice bowl, "Don't underestimate him, he is a man of the year in our school, not to mention the first professional class, and he was invited by the TV station to be a guest." It's a very good person.,But I don't know why recently.,It's like a different person.。 ”
A man of the day? Gee! "Sounds better than my brother!"
Ming Jing stretched out her arm, picked up the dried beans and put them in her mouth, "It's okay, I think each has its own merits, but one aspect is strong!" He picked up a few dried beans: "After all, none of the girls chasing him even have a platoon, and your brother has ten fingers at most." ”
Li Xiaochun pursed his lips: "Just his dead look?" A platoon? What the hell is it for? ”
Ming Jing stretched out his arm and took a mouthful of dried beans, "He, not only does he study well, but he is also very talented, piano, guitar, photography or something." It is said that his family is still super rich. ”
Li Xiaochun "cut" to express disdain, super rich? Super rich and still follow them to mix around? Hehe!
Jiang Yuan, who had been eating silently, opened his mouth at the end of the meal: "None of Li Heng's ten fingered suitors have succeeded?" ”
Ming Jing laughed and said, "He? I don't think he has such a creature as a girl in his eyes,"
"Hahahaha....." Li Xiaochun instantly burst into a motivated laugh.
Indeed, all that his wooden brother has in his head all day is learning, improving, improving, and struggling.
If you tell him about a girl, he will definitely ask, "Girl?" What is a girl? ”
After eating, the two old men kicked the young people out of the kitchen and let them all play, and the old couple cleaned up by themselves.
Everyone gathered in the hall to sit idly, and Li Xiaochun, a foodie, took a bag of melon seeds out and distributed them to everyone.
Ming Jing knocked on the melon seeds and asked Li Heng: "Tian Ye just ate and slept?" ”
Li Heng nodded.
"Or don't say anything?" Ming Jing asked again.
Li Heng sighed: "Don't say it." ”
Li Xiaochun spit out the melon seed shell and said: "No, brother, how can he help you start a business together?" ”
"Eat your melon seeds, it's not something you should worry about, no matter how bad he is, he's better than you." Li Heng looked at her sister's small appearance and hated iron and steel. In order to keep his sister from not understanding why he brought Shan Tianye here, he had to tell her that Tian Ye was here to help him start a business together.
"Damn! Brother, I really want to prove to you this time, whether I'm strong or not, you can't get rid of me anyway, I already thought about it when I went to you, and I have to help you succeed in starting a business. Li Xiaochun said impassionedly.
"I really don't know what you're thinking in your head, I finally graduated from college, and I didn't do it as a good screenwriter, so I came back to start a business with me." Li Heng stared at his sister as if he knew everything, "I see that you have graduated, and I think the screenwriting profession is really not easy to mix, so you came back with an excuse to help me start a business, right?" ”
Li Xiaochun jumped up from the chair and exclaimed excitedly: "No! I'm just here to help you. But in fact, how dare she face her heart, as the old brother said, the screenwriter is too difficult to mix.
Not wanting to pay attention to her anymore, Li Heng turned to Jiang Yuan and continued to talk about the unfinished topics during the meal, college students' entrepreneurship and rural poverty alleviation cooperation projects.
Li Xiaochun swallowed melon seeds and listened to their conversation with relish.
In fact, she has a lot of confidence in her brother to go home to start a business, brother is a very good person in her mind, since the absence of his parents, the old brother has started the struggle mode, opened a Taobao store during college, and it has been four crowns in just a few years. Later, after graduating from college, she was promoted to management all the way, but she was not satisfied, and she took the Q University MBA business administration master's degree, and now she graduated from the master's degree and went home to start a business.
And what about her? Alas! She's just a bad guy!
