The relationship between the two is ignorant and green, and they dare not cross the distance at all.

After another semester, during the winter vacation, Zuo Liang couldn't hold back his inner thoughts, got up early in the morning on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, used the winter vacation to earn money for the village cook's wedding banquet, bought three pounds of melon seeds and two pounds of original peanuts, took a sack and held it in his arms, and stuffed two plastic bags in his pocket, one shelled and one containing melon seeds and peanut kernels.

The hand crackled non-stop, peeling all the way.

Near noon, Zuo Liang arrived in Zhou Chunyan's village, but he didn't know where she lived, the village was full of neighbors, and he was afraid that someone would gossip, so he ran to the entrance of the village to find a place to stay and then peeled peanuts.

After peeling all the melon seeds and peanuts, he didn't see Zhou Chunyan's figure, and it was not a matter to wait any longer, Zuo Liang planned to look everywhere, holding the melon seeds and peanut shells in his arms and swaying in the village, and when he reached the river, he saw Zhou Chunyan holding a large basin of clothes and walking in his direction with his head down, and immediately went up to help her carry the basin.

When the two met, Zhou Chunyan was taken aback.

Like a frightened little rabbit, after looking around to make sure that there were no acquaintances, she pulled Zuo Liang to the back mountain, she asked Zuo Liang why he came, the latter smiled honestly, and handed her the melon seeds and peanuts that had been peeled and put in a clean plastic bag, and said that he would give her a New Year's gift.

Zhou Chunyan took the heavy plastic bag, and the untied bag wafted from the mouth of the oil that belonged to nuts, making people can't help but secrete saliva, and she couldn't help but look at the hands of the washing basin at the left beam.

The boy's hands were not pretty, even a little ugly, the palms were full of thick calluses from work, and the back of his hands still had scars from being splashed with hot oil when stir-frying, but the cracks between his fingernails were always clean, but now they were mixed with crumbs from melon seed shells.

Zhou Chunyan stretched out his hand to see if his fingers were injured.

It was this stretch of hand, and the sleeves of the thin jacket she had worn for several years shrank up with her body movements, revealing the fair skin on her wrists, which was completely exposed by Zhou Baijin's unresolved marks with rattan.

Zuo Liangyan quickly freed up one hand and grabbed the hand she was about to recover.

Under Zuo Liang's repeated questioning, she learned that Zhou Chunyan was found by her mother because of the clam oil and handwritten letter she gave her, and told her father, and she was severely beaten.

Hearing this, Zuo Liang felt guilty and blamed all the faults on himself, if he hadn't sent anything or written a letter, these things wouldn't have happened.

Zhou Chunyan didn't blame him, she just looked at him with crooked eyes, with a sweet smile on her face.

She said that the melon seeds were delicious, and the peanuts were delicious, and she was very happy

The two talked for a while, eating a lot of melon seeds and peanuts, Zhou Chunyan urged Zuo Liang to go back, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, he can't go home alone.

Zuo Liang didn't want to go back at all, he said that he wanted to stay in the village to accompany Zhou Chunyan to keep the New Year, and go back tomorrow morning, anyway, the Zuo family was not as close to him as the dogs in the village.

Zhou Chunyan persuaded him to dry his tongue, and seeing that he was resolute, he had no idea of going back, so he simply took a step back.

The two agreed to meet after twelve o'clock in the evening, and she secretly came out from home with food, and he used the time between now and the evening to find a hitchhiker home, and when she accompanied him to eat "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner", he had to go home honestly.

After twelve o'clock in the evening, the first firecrackers sounded, Zuo Liang hid in the crowd and saw Zhou Chunyan at a glance, the two were attracted by the brilliant fireworks, and did not go to the back mountain for the first time, but stopped and watched for a few minutes.

It was very cold in the back mountain that night, Zuo Liang was eating the leftovers brought by Zhou Chunyan and watching Zhou Chunyan eat the melon seeds and peanuts he peeled with his own hands, and his lover was on his side, satisfied.

Later, I was displaced and had no fixed place, and every time I celebrated the New Year, I would look up at the sky and recall the happiest year in my life.

After Zuo Liang finished speaking, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and sighed: "Even if my life stops that night, I am willing."

Xie Pujia stopped, and she looked at Zuo Liang.

"On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yao Cui saw the two of you, followed all the way, and heard your conversation."

Hearing this, Zuo Liang was surprised, he didn't know it at all.

Xie Pujia continued: "She learned about your family background through the conversation between the two of you, and found that the conditions of the Zuo family were not as good as the Zhou family. ”

"What? That woman sold me to the old man of brine was Yao Cui's idea?! Zuo Liang didn't expect Yao Cui to look at the short and weak, she was actually the one who came up with the idea.

"Yes." Xie Pujia nodded.

She spread out the matter and made it clear, because she wanted to see Zuo Liang's reaction, in case he knew the truth in the future and had hatred for Yao Cui, it would be bad if he spread the hatred to Zhou Chunyan.

"What a hard life your mother has had all these years, that father beats and scolds her at every turn, her mother still has a bad stomach and likes to calculate people, I remember that she also has a younger brother who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and now she can escape from the jackal, tiger and leopard den, it's really difficult."

Zuo Liang's tone was full of distress.

"You don't blame her?"

"Blame her?" Zuo Liang was puzzled, "What do you blame her for?" Obviously, I blamed myself for accidentally sneaking out to watch the fireworks, but she was discovered by her mother and forced by the Zhou family to marry early. ”

Through the past two days of getting along, Xie Pujia understands that the middle-aged man in front of him is a character who loves to apologize and take blame, and if there is a mistake in everything, the first reaction is to take the mistake on himself, as long as others ask him to do something, he is willing to do everything to help.

If you say it is good, you will be soft-hearted, and if you say it is bad, you will be called a bad person.

"Uncle Zuo, do you never refuse people?" Xie Pujia asked.

Zuo Liang was a little embarrassed to wrap his head, "It's not counting, everyone knows each other, now people have something to ask me, in case I have something to ask others in the future, I can help a little is a little, there are always people who remember my feelings, everyone has a difficult time, isn't it?" ”

Xie Pujia smiled and sighed: "If people in the world were like you, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago, and there would be no contradictions and disputes, fighting each other." ”

Ye Yong on the side couldn't help but look at Zuo Liang with admiration, he had never seen such a "selfless" person.

Xie Pujia's curiosity rose again, "Uncle Zuo, since you won't refuse others, did any other girls like you when you were in high school?" How do you say no to someone? ”

With a childish face and a gossip expression, Zuo Liang looked at the little girl in front of him and said with a smile: "Why do you refuse?" ”

Xie Pujia: "Huh? ”

Zuo Liang: "Just treat it as if you don't know, don't approach, don't speak, don't care, don't respond." ”

Good four no-principles.

Xie Pujia: "Isn't there a girl pulling you or asking you to go to some grove to talk?" ”

"Or pretend not to know, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I basically haven't had physical contact with women other than your mother, I don't know why if I meet other women, I feel disgusted, probably because I was tortured by my stepmother a lot when I was a child, and even the little daughter she gave birth to was very disgusted, but I never show it on my face."
