twenty-four

At night, Qian Aishu lay on the bed, thinking about the things of the day, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

"Creek, creek." Qian Aishu thought silently in his heart.

"Remember when we were kids? You've always loved to roll in the Bergen Creek in front of the back mountain, getting covered in mud. In a trance, it seemed that Xiaobao was talking to him.

"The creek in Qianjiaao is the shallowest in Baigen Creek, so you dare to go there to play in the water."

"Creek." Qian Aishu couldn't help but read out loud.

"I'm really weird today, what's going on?"

"Haha, it seems that you haven't been back for a long time, and it's time to repay Xiaoxi's wishes." It's Xiaobao's voice again.

"Wish? I know. Qian Aishu rolled over and got out of bed, "I should write it down." ”

Qian Aishu took out a pen and paper and wrote the first poem he was willing to write:

"Little Stream"

Sleep in the grass

A dream of sunset

There's a brook, a shadow

The brook sings

Phantom

Meandering down

Brook cheeks

One piece, green meadows

I'm really holding it

But I don't know whose hand

Only barefoot

Cool in the instep of the stream

Step out of two or three waves

Is there an image in the waves?

The cloak of the sun

Torn apart by the wind

Make a headband

I tie it into a flexible ribbon

The creek chased all the way, jumping happily

Dive into my long-drought, heart

After writing it, Qian Aishu suddenly felt that a big stone fell in his heart, and he was much more relaxed.

"I guess I made a vow." He muttered to himself.

As soon as he arrived at the classroom the next day, Qian Aishu couldn't help but show Li Hongdou the poem he had written last night.

"I've written the poem for the competition." He said excitedly to Li Hongdou.

"Really? So fast? ”

Li Hongdou took the poem handed over by Qian Aishu and read it word by word: "Xiaoxi ,......"

Qian Aishu listened quietly.

"Finished?" After reading it, Li Hongdou asked.

"Well, it's over." Qian Aishu asked cautiously, "How is it, is it okay?" ”

"Not bad. Pretty good. Li Hongdou said.

"That."

"What?"

"You don't have any special reactions." Qian Aishu was thinking about whether he should say this.

"I'm sad."

"Feeling sad? Have you had a sad encounter? ”

"It's not."

"I see."

"What do you know? Tell me about it. ”

"No one quarrels with you, you're flustered."

"You go and die." Li Hongdou slapped Qian Aishu on the back, Qian Aishu was startled, and it took a long time to react, and smiled faintly: "This guy." ”

A few days later, the school had a May Day holiday, which happened to be the busy farming season, and the school decided to take a 10-day holiday. When he arrived at home, he put down his bag, and Qian Aishu immediately went out to Xiaobao's house. He has been thinking about Xiaobao in his heart.

Xiaobao is really at home. The dilapidated house, because she was there, also had a little life. Xiaobao sat in the open space in front of the house and basked in the sun. "Xiaobao." Xiaobao closed her eyes as if she was sleeping, and Qian Aishu gently pushed her. Xiaobao opened his eyes slowly, and when he saw that it was Qian Aishu, he was very happy, and stood up and let Qian Aishu sit.

"You're on vacation?" Xiaobao asked.

"Well, leave it for 10 days."

"You'll be back for the holidays?"

"Hmm." Qian Aishu responded. He felt a little embarrassed, which he had never done in the past when he was with Xiaobao.

"By the way, the puppy has grown big." Xiaobao remembered a big thing.

"Really? I'll take a look. Qian Aishu finished speaking and looked around.

"It doesn't know where it's going." Xiaobao said.

"Oh." Qian Aishu responded.

"I built a big canal in the col, built a ferry, you can take a boat to the Xuefeng River, and built a reservoir, you know?"

"Reservoir? Brother Dogan didn't tell me. It's been a long time since I've been back. ”

"He shouldn't know, it's just been built up this month, so fast." Xiaobao said happily, "Go and see?" ”

"Okay, will you get water and electricity?" Qian Aishu asked.

"yes, you guessed it all." Xiaobao said, "The village chief told me that as long as my mother comes back to work hard in the future, he asked my mother to guard the reservoir and let me go to the factory to work." ”

"That's good. I'm afraid your mother won't come back to work. ”

"I'll persuade her."

"Is she back?"

"Nope." As soon as she mentioned her mother, Xiaobao's face immediately darkened, "My mother said that she would not come back, everyone has entered the factory to work, and the factory wants to use my family's land, and my mother just doesn't want to give up the land." ”

"The village chief didn't ask her?"

"I almost fought last time, I don't complain about the village chief, my mother also scolded the village chief for being raised by a son of a bitch."

"Ah, your mother scolded Brother Liudou like this, maybe they still remember what happened last time."

"The village chief promised me to let me enter the factory." Xiaobao's appearance made people feel very emotional, "My earthen house is about to fall, I don't dare to stay in it, I will repair the house first with the salary of entering the factory." ”

When I got to the reservoir, the reservoir is not very large, but the drop of the canal is large, and it is quite good to block this reservoir to generate electricity. And in the future, a big flood will not wash away those soil embryos in the brickyard at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Book." Xiaobao called Qian Aishu.

"Hmm."

"Did you come back with your textbooks?"

"Brought? Do you want to do it? ”

"I want to see it." Xiaobao looked at Qian Aishu and said seriously, "The village chief said that the factory will be mechanized in the future, and then it will be automatic or something, I don't understand any of this." I asked Uncle Goudan, and Uncle Goudan said, let me read the book by myself. ”

"None of that is in our book." Qian Aishu blushed.

Xiaobao may not have heard this, she slapped her palm and said, "Ah, I almost forgot, my mother came back today, took a lot of things, and asked me to wait for her at the ferry." After saying that, she ran to the newly repaired ferry, and said, "Brother Shu, I will go to your house tomorrow to read a book." Don't go out. ”

The next day, Xiaobao went to Qian Aishu's house after breakfast, holding a small notebook and a pen. As early as yesterday, Qian Aishu had already turned over the cabinets and moved out all the books he thought were useful to Xiaobao at home.

"There are so many books, I can't finish them the day I die." Xiaobao is in a good mood today, and he is much happier when he speaks.

Qian Aishu scratched his scalp and said, "I don't know if it's useful to you." Then he picked up one from the middle and handed it to Xiaobao, who took the book and asked Qian Aishu: "Can I understand this?" ”

"I can understand it, I must understand it, you can see it." Qian Aishu brought Xiaobao a chair and asked her to sit down, "It's easy to sit down and read slowly." ”

Xiaobao sat down to read a book, and no longer looked at Qian Aishu. Qian Aishu also took out his own book and sat down to read it.

Xiaobao looked very seriously, his eyes glued to the page, for fear of missing every word under his nose. Several times Qian Aishu was tired of reading, and when he raised his head to look at Xiaobao, he could see Xiaobao's focused eyes. Sometimes, Xiaobao seemed to be tired and pinched his head with his fingers, but his eyes still ran from under his palms to stare at the writing.

"Xiaobao, are you tired? How can you be in such a hurry to read books, so you will get tired of it in two or three days. ”

"No, I think it's quite interesting."

"Oh, then look." Qian Aishu didn't understand what Xiaobao was looking at, so attractive.

"Your mom is back?" After a while, he asked Xiaobao again.

"I'm back."

"You persuaded her?"

This time, Xiaobao stopped, and after reading Qian Aishu for a while, he said, "What do you think I should do to persuade my mother?" ”

"Haven't you thought about it yet?"

"I've thought about a lot of things, but I can't think of what to say at the beginning."

Qian Aishu did not speak. Xiaobao continued: "My mother is used to it...... is so stubborn, and he wants to save face. If she wants to come back and do things in peace, she will definitely not agree. ”

"Then you tell her ......"

"Say what? Don't babble. ”

"Let's just say that you are tired of running with her, and you have to live a steady life. Let's put it bluntly. ”

"Will she listen?"

"She's your mom and should be thinking about you. I remember when you were a kid your mother loved you a lot. ”

"Yes, I know."

"She didn't say anything when she came back to see your old house?"

"I just said that this house is too dilapidated and should be repaired."

"That's it?"

She said that she would have to work harder to run a few more stores in the future. But what is the better of now? Xiaobao pointed to the brick kiln outside the window and said, "Who dared to build this kind of brick kiln before?" As soon as my mother came back to see her, she said that this was a defeat in Feng Shui. Ay! Xiaobao let out a long sigh.
