fifteen
After getting off the coach, they walked shoulder to shoulder, on the avenue, and the two and a half children they met on the asphalt road were complete strangers, and Ke Longbin was not impressed with them at all. He had been out of the house for a long time, and the little fart that had grown up was even the kind of Ke Longbin who was brought by his relatives. But Ke Longbin told the dwarf that he had turned from the foot of a towering white fruit tree and climbed a steep slope to walk not far from the school. He had studied in this place for two years, the name of the small place was Huang Jingshu, and the school was called Huang jingshu Primary School. Strangely enough, the dwarf took the name of the little school to heart. Many years later, when she really couldn't find Ke Longbin, because of the local construction of the reservoir, his family was collectively immigrated by the government from Chementou Village, Tangzi Town, and the furnace house group did not know where to move, but the dwarf accidentally found Huangjingshu Primary School.
Along the dirt road by the dam's paddy field, the dwarf climbed up the three-step stone ladder, and she walked into the playground full of dandelions, plantains and iron arrow grass, and about twenty meters apart, she listened to the students read the texts. The bell rang for a minute, and the students with a smile on their faces or indifferent expressions suddenly poured out of the classroom door like a floodgate. She saw many children sitting on the dirt and playing a game of cockfighting grass. Girls hook up on their backs. As if there might be a figure of Ke Longbin among the boys who jumped on their backs, she recalled that in fact, Ke Longbin had said that the road to Chementou Village from here was actually a little far, and that place was very remote, there were more than a dozen Huali Mountain Roads, and he finished the fourth grade there, but only because there was no senior over there, he transferred to Huangjingshu to read. At that time, the dwarf asked a few fellow villagers to inquire, and chementou village had long been submerged. She couldn't understand how she always liked to run towards Huang jingshu Elementary School, so that a teacher who taught Chinese might have mistaken her for a certain parent, wondering if she looked like she didn't look like her, but only suspected that she was acting strangely. Standing on the side of the tractor road to chat with her, even planning to invite her to the school to sit and have a cup of tea.
He had been teaching here for almost twenty years, and when he heard the name Ofon Bin, he shook his head directly at the dwarf. It is also difficult to blame the teacher's poor memory, Ke Longbin spent a short time in Huangjingshu Primary School, after many years, it is estimated that he did not slip away when he was a child, and the funny thing is that he did not leave any impression on the teacher. Several times I recalled the crazy beating of two boys on the small road, and at the beginning, it was precisely when I saw the strange child Ke Longbin that pointed to the white fruit tree and talked about the school. They were probably elementary school students, Ke Longbin's alma mater.
But there was a kind of resistance to each other, and on this matter, they were still discussing when they crossed the hill and walked on the mountain beam, and neither of them had read psychology, so the conclusions they came up with were inevitably inconsistent when they thought about it. She remembered that the two boys were both lean and lean, with a thin bamboo pole in their hands, and one was picking something from the grass on the side of the road to throw it at the other, and the dwarf leaned his head and whispered to Ke Longbin, afraid of whether it was a living worm or a dead mouse. The two little ones are almost as tall and tall, and even the cheeks and eyes look very similar. The dodging one jumped with a jump, and suddenly, the flying brake ran to the middle of the narrow, large bend in the road, and just as it happened, there was another motorcycle as if it had been stolen, and it rushed over his body with great speed, and he could see clearly, even the corners of his clothes were stirred up and touched the metal, and he spun in place and flew to the side. They were taken aback and watched the guy in the sweater running away, and the dwarf took three steps and two steps to the boy 's side (he just stood up to prepare to curse) and asked him anxiously if he was injured? He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. She kindly slapped her hand lightly on the top of his head.
"You two don't fight wildly on the road, just walk." She said, "Watch out for cars!" ”
"He deserves to be killed." Another gasp said.
She looked down and saw that it was mostly a toad, and it had crushed the wheels.
Maybe it's a rat.
"You're doomed." The boy who almost hit the motorcycle said, "I can spell." Lao Tzu's name was Buckmon. ”
"It's not punctured yet."
"It's simply not possible."
One of the two suddenly sang a song, an episode from a cartoon.
The voice was a bit like screaming, but the expression carried the joy of winning. Then, Ke Longbin told the dwarfs that they had better not take the big road again, because the road was too winding, and I was afraid that they would not be able to get home after dark. There is a mountain road to Ke Longbin's house to walk less than an hour and a half, the road is not particularly difficult to walk, it is said that there are two Huali or ancient paved stone strips of official roads. The dwarf, of course, was led by him at will. He was not so excited because Ke Longbin had not returned home for many years, or how did the family explain to people? He was afraid that he had already calculated in his mind how many schemes there were; there would be a road before the car reached the mountain. Ke Longbin, who came out of the labor camp, may have returned.
"I'll go home and make arrangements this time, so I'll be happy to find something to do outside."
"Of course." She said.
"I'm not so uneasy at both ends that I'm distracted all day," Mr. Ke said, "always very anxious." ”
"Worried about both ends? Oh my God, this is the sin that a person with two wives must suffer, and I am not sure if it is punishment for you or happiness. The dwarf suddenly made a joke with Ke Longbin, and during the time when they first met, she would often do this for a long time. She's actually in a good mood. It wasn't too difficult for someone like her who had lived on a dairy farm to walk on her legs, and after walking for a while, sweat bubbled on her forehead and cheeks, the sun shining in front of her head, and her skin shining rose.
"Are you really afraid of them in your heart, and you never thought of coming home early?" Ke Longbin said to her.
He usually didn't have anything to do with this kind of joke about the dwarfs, and Ke Longbin seemed to be a little worried as he walked closer and closer to home, and his cheeks were flushed at every turn. Still have feelings for her.
"You're crazy." She said, "How could it be my home." ”
"Tell you honestly, little girl, I regret that the impulse has brought you to abundance." I don't even know how to face my family. ”
"I'm a little girl." The dwarf said.
"She can't be at her mercy, and her parents certainly won't."
"Having children, that's her strength."
In fact, it must not only be so, Jiang Hong is particularly envious of her normal state. The dwarf is indeed an uninvited guest, even if two people walk side by side on a country road, they are indeed a bit eye-catching. The dwarf usually likes to wear a skirt, most of the body will be shrouded in it, she specially changed a pair of jeans for this long road, which is also Ke Longbin's idea. She has a pair of blue sneakers on her feet. The dwarf was still thinking about whether it was necessary to dress up like this and make such trouble. What kind of ghost place was his family living in, what kind of mountainous expanse. Go dangerous isn't it?
"Maybe they'll ask you a lot about it!"
Ke Longbin said to the dwarf for preventive injections.
"How to answer, I have to think about it."
The dwarf pretended to think about it, but in fact his heart was very confused. After a while, Kung Fu Ke Longbin seemed to sympathize with her and advised her that she didn't need to be scared like this, and the ugly daughter-in-law always had to go to see her in-laws. If she really was Ke Longbin's only daughter-in-law, she would be fine, and she would not tell a white lie much, and report her age to ten years younger. The problem is that the dwarf is afraid to face Li Shuixiu.
More including their children. It was Ke Longbin's flesh and bones.
"Probably," she said, "everyone will stand at the door to welcome you." But there were definitely no flowers. ”
"Are you jealous?" Make me happy, but I am afraid that I am looking forward to you. ”
"Come on," she said, "I don't know if Li Shuixiuyun will not allow me to enter the house, and I will not be called crossed at any other door." ”
Ke Longbin nodded, "They will figure out the real relationship between you and me." I called and said you saved me, that you were my savior, that you were looking for a relationship to get me out of prison. The countrymen are honest, so that they don't take you as a Guanyin bodhisattva. Li Shuixiu first has to thank you. ”
"According to you, you will definitely let me in your door."
"If you're scared, it's too late to turn around."
"With you here, I'm not afraid." Her cheeks were even redder.
He smiled and took her hand, squeezing it hard, as if, trying to pass some strength to her.
But it couldn't mean what she thought.
"What they think in their hearts is, you're my sister," he said, "and you go out to rely on your friends." ”
"Others aren't that stupid." The dwarf said loudly.
"Rest assured." Ke Longbin said, "She is looking forward to your coming." ”
At that time, the dwarf was constantly told these things in her ear by Ke Longbin, which made her dizzy and her IQ dropped, and they really believed that there was a simple friendship between men and women. It is not a bad thing to understand many things (or pretend) to understand, rather than having to figure it out, it is better to be more confused. Rural people have always been hospitable, and to put it bluntly (without puncturing the paper), the host treats her as a guest at best. Ke Longbin planned to go to his sister's house first, to be precise, to take this road, he had to pass through the door. His brother-in-law's name is Chen Houjing, although he is said to be the brother-in-law, he is the same age as Ke Longbin, and his age seems to be five months older than him. Chen Houjing was thin and short-haired, half a head shorter than Ke Longbin. Although his skin is much darker than Ke Longbin's, his face is still very handsome and looks particularly tough, but his eyes are a little small. There was a black mole the size of a green bean on the cheek, including the cheekbones, which was quite strange to say, afraid that when he really owed this guy in his previous life, when he first met Chen Houjing, the dwarf seemed to notice it in his heart. He was breaking the grain in the field, when he heard that a guest had come to his house and was busy leading the horses back. He hoisted his horse from a date tree on the side of the road under the barrier. Sister Ke Longmei's mother-in-law called her son, usually the mountain signal is not good, nine times out of ten can not get through. I wanted to ask the guy next door to bring a message, but the phone suddenly rang. Ke Longbin said that there may be more no signal at the front of the car door. All kinds of signs, the dwarf concluded that after Ke Longbin was discharged from the labor camp, he must have taken the time to return home, otherwise, he did not need to ask for directions to find his sister's home and mobile phone signal. Otherwise, her sister Ke Longmei was married before he went in. The dwarf had never heard him say anything about this relative. Ke Longbin never liked to talk about his family. From the meeting alone, it seems that he and his sister's mother-in-law are not strangers, sitting down for two minutes to make tea and send it, chat some gossip, inquire only to learn that Ke Longmei is working in another province, he swallowed and vomited, his face was a little unnatural, and he said that it was the Fa Lang. Even his brother-in-law Chen Houjing was looking for work in Guiyang, his father had a wind and was difficult to be the main laborer, and the old woman had to help them with their grandchildren. "So call your brother Busy Moon to take a leave of absence to come home first, help him and then let him go back."
"The grain in the field is also money." Ke Longbin said.
"Otherwise, your brothers are afraid of bumping into each other."
A child holds the door frame in his hand and looks at the guest, showing a shy look. It was a boy who was only five years old, disdainfully the son of Ke Longmei's sister, and the old woman kept teaching him to call out to his uncle, and he was even more afraid of life, hiding behind the door panel, only showing one eye to peek.
The boy is indeed a bit dull.
"I just won't shout."
Chen Houjing collapsed into the low threshold of the compartment door, turned around, and pulled the towel hanging in the corner of the room behind the door to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He had just sat down, let out his cigarette, lit it, turned and reached out to drag his son out. Shout uncle, call uncle. This guy admits to life, and even I don't like to shout. Probably only close to his grandmother. Chen Houjing smiled and said, I'm afraid I don't recognize your mother. The bad boy is weird to see that I don't beat you up.
The old woman slapped her own son the shoulder and shouted that you frightened me tiger. He also said to see which dared to touch my tiger to try, Grandma smoked his ankles. Ke Longbin took out the toy he bought in Guiyang from his backpack and wanted to hand it to him, but the child patronized and stared at it, but did not come over to pick it up. The boy hid behind his grandmother's body in a panic, and he probably knew that only grandma in the world was really good to him and was willing to protect him from being bullied by anyone. Even when Dad was shaking with anger and opened his mouth to scold people (I couldn't figure out why), Grandma immediately carried him to bed and went to bed, nagging, and avoiding the two crazy people.
The other person the crazy person grandma said was his mother. Dad and Mom got into a fight and fought. After the quarrel, my mother dragged her box of hair and threw it toward the door, and my father grabbed the bowl and smashed it on the ground, and did not listen to my grandmother's advice to chase her back on the road. He knew that chasing would be useless. When the family returned to God, they once found him asleep in the kennel holding the ugly dog.
After leaving the Chen family, Ke Longbin and the dwarf continued toward Chementou Village, on a winding road. They walked through a large grove of oranges, and then walked onto a stone paved road. On both sides are the golden rice of the dam, and some people have already begun to beat the long block terraces of the thresh. Ke Longbin told the dwarf about the discord between his sister Ke Longmei and his son, the long-term stalemate, and the speculation that they could not get married, and even more terrible suspicions from both sides. He looked at the dwarf with his car face, and there were many things that Ke Longbin felt unspeakable. From this, it can be seen that every house has a difficult scripture to read. When my sister was at home, she used to go out to work with people, and she ran around at a very young age. ”
The dwarf couldn't interject at all.
"She wasn't like that before."
"You're trying to say she doesn't care much about her family."
"I think, not simply like this, she probably won't... I understand my sister's character. The problem was that Chen Houjing had doubts about her. ”
"Why not find two people who can work together?" In the proximity to home. ”
"I don't think there's a chance."
The dwarf asked again, "What kind of work did she do?" ”
"According to Chen Houjing, my sister is unwilling. She wants to make more money. ”
It's not fun to keep talking straight. Ke Longbin detoured to a relative's house, and in addition to wanting to see his sister Ke Longmei's doll, he might also want to know the whereabouts of Ke Longmei. Even Chen Houjing himself, in fact, could not say it clearly. Why she hid the truth from her husband, Ke Longbin decided not to think about it anymore. He had other plans for this trip, once again standing on the street selling songs, now that he thinks about it, it is not only incredible, to tell the truth, Ke Longbin still feels panicked, he originally wanted to consult with his brother-in-law, knowing that Chen Houjing used to raise dry fire ducks for his boss and had experience in this area. This matter, when ke Longbin was in the dairy farm, he also summed up with the dwarf (without mentioning his brother-in-law Chen Houjing) in advance, she saved some money in the bank, if she became one of the investors, they worked together, of course, they got along clearly and smoothly, even if they wore it to help Li Shuixiu, there was nothing to say.
