Xu Qingzhi looked at the person in front of him, and the face gradually coincided with the appearance in his memory.

He has faded away and become a little more mature, but his distinct facial features have not changed.

Even the tone of the voice is gentle and soft.

She said, "Long time no see." ”

For her, she has been through three worlds, and it is indeed a long time since she has seen her.

But for Zhou, when they were in college, they also met.

Every New Year, the two will say happy new year to each other.

Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang went to the back room to get a chair and beckoned people to sit down.

And Xu Qingzhi recalled some memories of junior high school because he met his old classmates.

She is one of the few rural children in the class, the head teacher because she is from the countryside, and because her parents have no money, unlike the parents of children in the city, she neither greets nor gives gifts, the head teacher does not like her, and she was transferred to the back door of the class in the third year of junior high school.

Xu Qingzhi has been studying for many years, and his parents have always been like this.

They still stay in the idea of teachers teaching and educating people, and they never think that some teachers still have to curry favor with them so that their children can live better in school.

Because the teachers in the village school never treat students differently because of these differences.

It was the time when she had the most inferiority, Jinna took the lead in saying that she would not let others play with her, and other female classmates would stay away from her if they didn't dare to cause trouble, the embarrassment of family conditions, washed old clothes, ill-fitting shoes, etc., etc......

The education she received since she was a child made her bow politely and shout "Hello teacher" when she saw the teacher, even if she met the head teacher, she would do so.

But the head teacher always looked at her with disgust, and then simply hinted to her that her parents would have to understand something next time her parents came.

She completely changed this habit, no longer called the teacher good, and when she saw it, she didn't see it. The parent-teacher meeting will not tell her parents, saying that it does not matter.

Other female classmates didn't want to play with her, so she didn't go to others, honestly went alone, and concentrated on studying.

I just moved to the back door to sit, and the classmates in the back row were always noisy during class, and sometimes the words written by the teacher on the blackboard were illuminated by the light and shadow of the window, and I couldn't see it clearly, so that she couldn't listen to the class properly, and her grades dropped a bit.

Later, Yu Zhou took the initiative to move his place to the last row and sat next to her.

He would give her a lecture on the topic and tell her to be confident, that it would not be in the way if she had no friends, and that there would be no shame in going to the cafeteria alone.

He also used his pocket money to give her a few new clothes.

For her birthday, he gave her a birthday cake for a single meal.

That was her first birthday cake.

At that time, Xu Qingzhi found out in the later period of time that every time she went to the cafeteria to eat, although there was no one around, Yu Zhou would always follow her far behind.

Her embarrassment of going to the cafeteria alone seemed to be solved.

She is not afraid of someone accompanying her.

When she was at her hardest, he was such a white moonlight existence.

The heartbeat of young budding is always difficult to declare.

Later in high school, they were in the same school, in different classes.

He went to Kyoto for college, and she stayed in the capital of the province.

Sometimes he would come to see her when he was passing by the provincial capital city early on vacation.

He never said that he liked it, but Xu Qingzhi was indeed excited, but that excitement had long since faded as the two of them drifted apart.

Now goodbye, it's more like a friend who has been reunited after a long absence.

She should be calm.

Jiang Xiao said this in a small group of three people behind his back, and said a sentence one by one.

"He said he was a classmate of Qingzhi High School, but when I looked at his eyes, I felt that something was wrong."

Wen Siran: "He's also your teacher's subordinate?" ”

Jiang Xiao: "No, I've never seen it before. It should have been sent from above, maybe it might be the same level as my teacher, he looks like a young man, and his future is limitless. ”

Although Wen Siran didn't want to admit it, he did have some resemblance to his sister Wen Shanshan in some aspects, such as gossip.

Wen Siran asked again, "What now?" What is he doing with Qingzhi? ”

Jiang Xiao: "There are a lot of people, I can't hear clearly from a distance." But it seems that the two of them are talking very happily with each other, and they are smiling at the corners of their mouths, and they didn't smile so happily when they first saw me. ”

Huo Fengyan: "Let Qingzhi reply to my WeChat message." ”

Jiang Xiao: "Please, it's so far away, there are so many people, how can I call it, it's embarrassing." ”

Jiang Xiao: "Don't talk about it, I have something to do, and I'm going to harvest rice." ”

The big sunny day, which was still sunny before, changed when it was said, dark clouds floated, and a small raindrop fell on the tip of Xu Fuqiang's nose.

The villagers are experienced, and immediately picked up the target and bamboo broom to get up to harvest rice.

It's all half-dried rice, but you can't let it get wet in the rain, and if it rains heavily, it's even worse, and the rice is all bad.

The people brought by Zhou Zheng also hurriedly joined the team to harvest rice.

Two people took the target to gather the rice into a pile, and three or four people quickly swept it over with a bamboo broom.

These six tons of rice have to be harvested into several piles of grain, and the big guys go their separate ways.

The young man, who had not yet felt the raindrop at first, could clearly feel a raindrop falling on his face as soon as he looked up at this moment.

At this time, the rain was not heavy, and the raindrops were in a state of dropping from time to time, and the rice harvesting action was urgent and fast.

A pile of grain is collected, and four people are pulled apart with a colorful striped rainproof cloth to cover the rice underneath.

Xu Qingzhi went to the side of the house and picked up a few bricks to press.

The six tons of rice must be gathered before the heavy rain comes, and they should be covered with tarpaulins.

The fellows have experience in doing it, and the movement is as sharp as driving twice the speed.

A rake and a basket of rice were gathered up, and the footsteps were all small steps.

Looking at the team that has not done much farm work in ordinary times, they started their work in a hurry, and they were all tired and panting after a while.

The fellow working next to him smiled honestly and funny: "You young people are not in good health, you are very weak, and you are not as strong as me, who is almost sixty years old." ”

It's hard to see what kind of man can stand being said to be false.

Especially Bian Chang, the broom in his hand immediately swept up the rice, and the movement was called a fast dance.

Practice and prove yourself.

Finally, two or three seconds after the rain began to pour, the last pile of grain was covered with a tarp.

Everyone hurried to the veranda to take shelter from the rain.

The rain began to pour down, almost blurring one's vision, and the world in front of them became misty.

Heavy rain is always accompanied by strong winds, and it is possible that this tarp will be blown over by the wind.

Only Xu Fuqiang was alone in the rain still picking up bricks, holding a big wooden stick to press those tarpaulins more solidly.

Xu Qingzhi felt distressed and shouted: "Dad, it's raining too much, come back quickly, don't get it." ”

Xu Fuqiang didn't listen, and after a while in the rain, he ran back against the rain, saw his daughter's frowning brows, and knew that he hadn't responded to his daughter's words just now, so he explained weakly: "Hey, if this is overturned by the wind, it's a pity that the rice is gone, and Dad wants to compact it." ”

Xu Qingzhi couldn't say what it felt like in his heart.

I just remembered that when I was a child before the road was built, her father borrowed someone's truck to transport his own rice, and he overturned and fell on the way.

He was in pain like that, and his grandmother told him to rest for two days, but he didn't listen, and the next day he went to help others harvest rice, just for a salary of dozens of yuan a day.

She is really angry sometimes, why is her father's temperament so strong, really disobedient.

That rice, if it's bad, then if you can't ask for it, don't worry about it, why doesn't her father do this in the rain.

She thought so, and when she entered the house, she told her father so.

Either way, the body always comes first.

Xu Fuqiang had a rare serious face, and educated: "Light knowledge, the people take food as the sky, and food must not be wasted." The rice was planted with great difficulty, and it was a pity that it was broken. It doesn't matter if Dad gets drenched in the rain, adults don't catch a cold easily. ”

Immediately, he added: "If it's not raining today, it's a knife, then Dad will definitely not care about those rice, don't worry, Dad understands." ”

Xu Qingzhi was helpless and angry, and was instantly amused by her father.

Wang Yanmei stood up and played a round: "It's all to blame for this ghost weather, drying rice is the most annoying this, it's like this every year, the sun is good before drying rice, and the sun and rain when you are basking in the sun." Believe it or not, in less than half an hour, the rain will stop again. ”

Xu Qingzhi thought about it, when he used to help his family dry rice, he often encountered this situation.

Basking in the sun, the raindrops came.

Every time I grab the rice, I am in a hurry, and the whole family has to go into battle.

After a while, the rain stopped without a trace, and the sun shone on the earth again.
