Chapter 15: When I Was Loneliest 4

There was no electricity this night, so there was no TV to watch.

At dusk, the men, women, old people and children in the village all held large porcelain bowls, squatted at the base of the wall, or half-lay on the straw stacks, and the men were mostly shirtless, with their mouths wide open, and listened to Hu Guocheng talk about the colorful world outside over and over again in a loud voice, such a world is like Guo Jing and Huang Rong on TV, which is very far away from them and extremely unreal.

The women gathered together, the east and the west were short, and the old people squinted and leisurely leaned against the corner of the wall to smoke the cigarettes in their hands, and halfway through the cigarettes, the bowl in their hands would be taken away by the hobbling old woman.

The old hen and a flock of chicks went around eating the rice grains that had fallen on the ground, clucking.

The younger ones are the most noisy group, and the food in Hu Fei's bowl tonight is the best, this little bit, that little bit, so it will be gone soon.

However, Hu Fei was sulking, not because his food was eaten by others, but because no one was willing to stretch his chopsticks to Yuan Yu's bowl, although Yuan Yu and the food in his bowl were the same.

In a way, at this age, in their young care that they can't hide too much, eating your meal is actually more of a sign of recognition.

Hu Fei knows this.

Therefore, Hu Fei took Yuan Yu's head and went home without looking back, and when he went back, he threatened that he would never give these guys snacks in the future.

Wax was lit in the dark room, but it was still dim.

Looking at the depressed Hu Fei, Yuan Yu didn't speak, he knew that his partner was trying hard to integrate himself into that big group.

However, he is still the one who is isolated.

Yuan Yu helped Hu Fei refill the rice and brought it to him, and the two and a half adults guarded the flickering candle flame and held the bowl and picked up the chopsticks in their mouths.

"They're all spineless white-eyed wolves, forget it, Xiaoyu, let's ignore them!"

While eating, Hu Fei's mouth was still not idle, and he said hatefully.

Yuan Yu couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Ah Fei, I still have to play with them!" ”

"No, no! It's all soft bones, I used to be beaten on the ground by the Huzi brothers from the neighboring village on the way out of school, so you are willing to help me! I want to be a hero, I want to be righteous, Xiaoyu, you are my brother, I will beat whoever bullies my brother, and I have to beat him if I can't beat him! ”

Hu Fei's words made Yuan Yu suddenly fall silent.

I only studied until the second grade, and then after the man who was drunk all day fell into the river and died, the funeral was organized by several families, and the fields were planted for them, in fact, this is also a way to repay debts.

So I had no money to study anymore, and my destitute family couldn't make up 30 yuan for tuition and fees.

When Hu Guocheng came back from outside with an empty bowl contentedly, Yuan Yu and Hu Fei were lying on the ground by candlelight to play a game of picking sticks, throwing a large handful of cleaned popsicle sticks on the ground, and then pulling them out one by one, only one at a time.

Such a game, Hu Fei always can't play Yuan Yu.

Hu Guocheng didn't bother the two people who were having fun, touched a stool and sat silently, thinking about something in his heart.

As the night deepened, Hu Fei's mother also yawned and came back from outside, and the village began to bark three or two times, and after a burst of reprimand, she quietly returned to the nest.

That's how life is supposed to be.

Hu Guocheng patted the back of Yuan Yu's head and said affectionately: "Xiaoyu, don't be busy leaving, uncle will send you back!" Too late! ”

Hu Fei, who was sleepy on the side, immediately came to his senses and shouted that he was going too.

One big and two small, walking on the path under the moon.

"Little rabbit, let me hear again that you are skipping school, Lao Tzu broke your dog's leg! Don't be ashamed of you, repeat the grade, your Lao Tzu's face will be disgraced! ”

Hu Guocheng went to twist Hu Fei's ears as he spoke, but he let go when he heard Hu Fei cry out in pain, and he was reluctant to use too much strength.

is away all the year round and has no time to discipline his son in person, which more or less makes Hu Guocheng feel a little regretful that his son is not his father's fault.

So in order to prevent Hu Fei from going into the wild like this again, Hu Guocheng touched Yuan Yu's head and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Xiaoyu, school is about to start in a month, you can go too, Quan Dang will help Uncle look at this unconscious rabbit cub!" ”

Yuan Yu lowered his head, but his pace slowed down a lot.

Hu Fei jumped up and exclaimed: "What do you say? If you let Xiaoyu go to school with me, I promise God that I will never skip school again! ”

said the righteousness awe-inspiring, but was scolded by Hu Guocheng and kicked in the ass.

"Uncle, home...... , no money! When it comes to the word home, Yuan Yu is a little confused, where did he come from.

Hu Guocheng sighed: "What are you talking about, my uncle used to play with your father from childhood to adulthood, and he has rarely come back in the past few years." You just have to help me watch this rabbit cub, if I get into junior high school, Uncle will have to thank you! ”

Before Yuan Yu had time to talk more, he was made up by Hu Fei, who was overly excited, and even Yuan Yu's mood improved.

When it was about to be delivered to the door, Yuan Yu no longer let the two of them send it.

Hu Guocheng looked at the three houses that were particularly dilapidated in the night, frowning slightly, but he didn't say anything.

In the end, Hu Guocheng patted Yuan Yu's shoulder, his expression was complicated, and he said meaningfully: "Good boy, it's late, go back to sleep, don't go out and run around anymore, you're tired, right?" In a few days, Uncle will take you and Ah Fei to the town to buy some clothes......"

After watching Hu Guocheng go back with Hu Fei in the clouds, Yuan Yu rubbed his faintly sore calf, and went home silently.

What Yuan Yu didn't know was that after Hu Guocheng went back that night, he and Hu Fei's mother had a whispered argument for half the night, and Hu Fei's mother was unwilling to support her family in vain.

And in the end, I don't know what Hu Guocheng whispered to the woman, and the woman's dispute suddenly disappeared......
