Chapter 17: I Want to Go to College

65

On the way home, I passed by a word, and I actually went in and made a phone call. Call the magazine for the letter of introduction. It seems that I have forgotten that I did not really want to interview the director of the detention center. And my nature of "not doing business" is always reflected in all aspects.

My mother used to say, "I think about it with my heel, and I know the result." "The magazine will never give me a letter of introduction. Since I'm just a recent high school graduate, I don't think anyone would give me a letter of introduction. Who would believe that I, a person who is not deeply involved in the world and has not yet figured out what a crime is, can interview and understand the director of the detention center.

Naturally, the interview was unsuccessful, and I didn't see my brother as I wished. But I was still very relieved. After all, I know a way to contact my brother. At that time, writing letters was my favorite method of contact. Because I don't have a fast communication tool like a mobile phone.

The first thing I do when I get home is to write a letter. I wrote it, but I wasn't sure I would get a reply, and I didn't know where to ask my brother to send it. At that time, it was still very popular to "flower letterheads", which I collected from my classmates one by one. I was poor at that time, and I didn't have the money to buy these things, but I liked it, and some classmates bought them, so I was cheeky and asked for one or two, and my classmates at that time were also very good, and they agreed to give it to me without saying anything. I didn't want to use it, so I saved it like this. Suddenly there was a feeling that it was finally coming in handy. It's just that my word, with this paper, is a bit of a pity for this paper.

I didn't write much about the first letter because I wasn't sure if my brother would receive it. So I just told him that I had received an acceptance letter and was leaving home and would write to him when the university was settled, and he could write to me as well. That way you won't lose contact. I don't feel like he's left me, or I still feel like he's there for me.

From the end of the college entrance examination to the beginning of the university, I experienced the longest vacation in my life, about three months. These three months are the most carefree time. After the letter was sent, it seemed to sink into the sea, and I didn't know where to go. I started my life again. Go back to my father's farm.

I remember one day we were a family of five, oh, five of us had parents, my sister, and I had a dog. Most of our dogs are called Little Tiger, at this time Little Tiger is a pure black Chinese pastoral dog, not large, much more docile than before, probably because this Little Tiger is still very young, so playful. It likes to follow us to distant fields to mow the grass.

My father and mother mowed, and my sister and I carried the cut grass out and loaded it into the truck. Of course, the car is also a four-wheeled agricultural tractor, not a high-end car. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and the grass on this day is cut quickly and abundantly. My sister teased the little tiger while digging wild vegetables, at that time the family also raised chickens, wild vegetables were fed to the chickens at home, it is said that this wild vegetables also have anti-inflammatory effects, and the cows eat it is also excellent. Many years later, I joined the work, and found that at the same time, I used this wild vegetable to dry and soak in water to drink, and I guess this wild vegetable is also very good for people. At that time, I didn't think about anything, but I knew that I was carrying my father's bundled grass out of the field from a distance one by one. Sometimes I feel that there are too many bundles of grass, and it is too slow to carry only one bundle at a time, so I carry a large bundle on my shoulder and a small bundle in my hand.

Probably this female man's physique was also cultivated at that time. Carrying the grass, the walk is not particularly good on the flat road, the grass grows in the crops. My father said that this is because the owner of the land was too lazy and did not weed when it was time to weed, so the grass here grew so lushly. Perhaps we should be grateful to such lazy masters.

The grass is growing luxuriantly, and it is not easy for me to carry the grass. I had to cross a cornfield much higher than mine, and the cultivated ground was uneven and uneven, and I twisted my feet from time to time. I went back and forth like this. Soon the clothes were soaked with sweat. I was resting on the edge of the crop field when I suddenly remembered something. My name is Xiaohu, and Xiaohu came happily from not far away. I looked in the direction it was running from, and sure enough, I saw my sister.

It is true that I have dug a lot of wild vegetables, but this "amount" and hard work are far less than my carrying grass. A nameless fire burned in my heart. At this moment, my father came with a large bundle of grass, and my mother came. Pick up a large watermelon from the bucket. This watermelon was like an oasis in the desert and saved me. At that time, it didn't matter what hygiene was unhygienic. My father cut the watermelon with a scythe and divided a large piece of it into each person, which quenched both hunger and thirst, and felt very good. The fire in my heart has been extinguished a lot.

On the way back, my sister and Xiaohu sat on the haystack, the blue sky, the white clouds, the sun that was about to roast me, and the green crops that could not be seen at a glance, this is my deep impression of home.

Before school started, I went to see Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang opened the door for me, except for Aunt Zhang's third brother. They weren't surprised to see me. Aunt Zhang has probably accepted the reality and did not see the tears hidden in her eyes. The third brother is even more so, and he is already able to talk and laugh. He also joked with me, "Is the little girl coming to see me?" I glared at him and didn't want to leave him.

"Aunt Zhang, are you better?" I took Aunt Zhang's hand. Aunt Zhang's hands are not rough at all, although he is a nanny aunt, but the maintenance is not like it at all. The fingers are slender, the palms are not calloused by rough work, and the skin on the back of the hand is delicate, and I don't feel at all appropriate for her age. She didn't have any wrinkles on her face, no crow's feet, no nasolabial folds, anything or anything. Although collagen is lost, it does not have to be young and elastic, but it is still smooth and fair.

"Much better. I also tried to accept it, the young master must have a reason for doing this. Young grandma, you will wait with me for the young master to come out, right? Aunt Zhang squeezed my hand.

Uh, this, it's embarrassing.

"Aunt Zhang, you are wrong again, I am not a young grandmother, I am an eldest lady. Last time you called it wrong." I sneered, apparently it wasn't in my style.

"That's right, the young master said that he shouldn't call him the young grandmother in front of you, because he was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so he kept asking me to call you Miss in front of you. Young grandma, you will wait with me for the young master to come out, right? Aunt Zhang persistently asked me the same question. In fact, at that time, this "waiting for him to come out" should have another layer of stealth meaning, but I didn't think of it, I only thought about the literal meaning.

nodded, "Of course, when I come back from vacation in the future, I will come to see Aunt Zhang." If we can go to see my brother together, shall we? No matter how many years, I accompanied Aunt Zhang to guard him out. That's actually the answer I've thought about seriously. Ever since I saw him in court and heard him confess to all the charges, I've been thinking about it, and that's how it turned out.

The third brother listened but was not calm, and dragged me to the study. I shook his hand away. "What for?" I asked angrily. I know he is not hostile to me, but I reject such contact. Although I don't reject the third brother in my heart, I don't think that the third brother is someone I know very well, so I still reject it.

"I have something to say to you," the third brother said bluntly.

"If you have something to say, you will speak, and I will listen"

"Go to the study and say"

"Aunt Zhang is not an outsider, you can just say anything directly." I don't want to go into the study. Because there are so many good memories there, my brother's smell is so strong that I am afraid that I will not be able to breathe when I go in.

The third brother can't help me, after all, we are just verbal brothers and sisters, and we have no actual relationship. "You said you were going to wait for Wang Hao to come out, so have you thought about how to wait? What is the result of waiting for him to come out? ”

At that time, I thought this question was ridiculous, so I laughed out loud, "Wait is wait, I will wait if I say wait, you want to care how I wait." Wait for him to come out, and what will happen is none of your business. "I instantly turned into a fried chicken.

The third brother was speechless and helpless, he couldn't understand my temper and the disrespectful words that came from my mouth.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang pulled me, and I looked at Aunt Zhang. "You all eat here at noon. Young grandma, you can help me cook. "Pull me to the kitchen.

I almost quarreled, but fortunately, Aunt Zhang stopped me in time.

In fact, Aunt Zhang also had something to say to me before pulling me into the kitchen, and at that time, Aunt Zhang should have seen something I didn't feel, so she asked me to go into the kitchen and whisper to me. "Young grandma, young master is not such a bad person, you have to believe him. The young master's original plan was to wait for you to graduate from college, or when you grow up a little more, he was ready to explain everything to you, like other couples, to fall in love, and then hold a wedding. But when something like this happens, I'm afraid it's no longer what the young master thinks. If you decide to wait for him, have you ever wondered what will happen to you when he comes out? ”

I'm a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, and I don't think about such complex questions, so my answer is very simple, "how or what." I didn't think that far ahead. I don't understand what you're talking about. My idea now is simple, I just want to wait for him to come out, I want to see him. That's really thinking, so after saying this, tears fell again. This time, it was Aunt Zhang who comforted me, and Aunt Zhang didn't cry. This was the last time I shed tears for him before he came out, and I never cried because he went in since.

Aunt Zhang patted me on the back, "Young grandma is a good girl, Aunt Zhang knows that because you are a good girl, there will be many people who like you." Aunt Zhang's words comforted me, and later life fully confirmed how false this sentence was.

"Aunt Zhang, you said how long it would take for my brother to come out, I miss him. Do you think he'll forget me. I wrote to him, but my brother didn't reply. I don't know if I received it, do you think he will write back to me? Do you think he'll miss me. "I'm asking a boring question.

"Yes, the young master will think about the young grandmother, and he will reply to you." Saying that, Aunt Zhang looked back at the third brother. "Young Grandma, what do you think of Young Master Shen?"

Aunt Zhang said this cliché, and I couldn't hear it at that time. I could only tell that she was asking me what I thought of the third brother. also answered truthfully, "The third brother is a good person and a good brother." ”

"Aunt Zhang is asking you, do you like Young Master Shen? It seemed that I was in a hurry at that time, and I really wanted to know if I could wait for my brother to come out. In her opinion, maybe as long as I can wait for my brother to come out, my brother and I are still possible, and it seems that the biggest variable between us is now in me. Again, the human heart is the most fickle, especially for someone as uncertain as me.

I couldn't hear that at the time. I am a simple person, and I always believe that there is a pure friendship between a man and a woman. So I didn't even think about it and replied, "I like it, the third brother is a good person, I think the third brother is a good brother of the elder brother." Aunt Zhang, when I leave, if you have anything to do, call the third brother, and the third brother will come to take care of you. Aunt Zhang was speechless when she heard this.
