in He Ai Township

After dinner, Lai Wenjun took Ah Hua to take a bath in the river, passing by Chen Qiong's "Camellia" shop.

Chen Qiong was bent over behind the counter, her hair scattered, covering her face and chest.

Ah Hua said, "Chen Qiong likes you."

Lai Wenjun blushed.

"She said to Lin Xiaomei that you are interesting. Generally speaking, when a girl says that a boy is interesting, it means that she is interested in this boy."

"You said it two years ago. It was all two years ago."

"Did I say that two years ago?"

"I can hear calluses in my ears."

"The ear hears calluses and doesn't act, it's useless!"

Chen Qiong should have seen Lai Wenjun and Ah Hua long ago, and is trying his best to pretend not to see it. The obvious shyness was completely shown in the long hair that almost covered half of his body. Two years ago, she had a hard short braid, and naturally no breasts, and now it looks like a miracle.

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

But Lai Wenjun ran, ran straight across the road, and jumped into the drying field over there.

This asphalt road is part of National Highway 108 and is the only asphalt road in my memory. Its materials and forms are obviously knowledge outside of rural knowledge. I don't remember which teacher said with pride that the 108 National Road is 3,500 kilometers, and it goes directly to Fuxingmen in Beijing. The San Gong was sitting on a rock beside the 108 National Road, taking a nap. He had been sleeping on that rock for years as he remembered. Ah Hua was in a trance, and at the same time treated his trance with a more cautious attitude and slowly walked onto the asphalt road. The asphalt was melted by the summer heat, and one footstep was stepped on.

"I saw that the bus did not have the three men today?"

"There is no bus, there is a red car."

"What a red car!"

"All red, with a cannon. Prestigious!"

"Aren't you scared?"

"I hid in the bullpen."

The Sangong was talking about the house where the production team used to shut down the cattle by the drying yard. The wall on the sunny side of the house was demolished and replaced with a row of thick wooden fences. After contracting the production to the household, it was vacant and useless. The nearby people used it to store straw. Sleep in the haystack.

Ahua walked over and said, "Is he talking about fire trucks? Xichang goes to the fire trucks in Lu County? Fire trucks are only available at the city level. At most, they go down to the county seat, and then they won't go further."

Lai Wenjun nodded in admiration and said, "The old man doesn't know fire trucks."

"The fire truck is worth seeing. The fire truck will rush to Lu County, and it will be fine. It's a pity, we should have come out earlier."

"Don't worry, it won't burn the Lin Xiaomei's house."

Ah Hua raised his leg to kick Lai Wenjun, but Lai Wenjun jumped away.

"You can't wait for me to talk about Lin Xiaomei. You are a big kid!"

At the current location, I can no longer see the situation in Chen Qiong's store. But Ah Hua could imagine that Chen Qiong must have hurriedly put away her loose hair and tied it into a braid. She thinks it's a decent way to salvage frustration. Thinking about it this way, I really feel that Chen Qiong is a woman through and through.

"Aren't you going to say hello? It's too rude. It's okay to be rude in general. If you're not polite today, you'll be resented for the rest of your life."

"What is it, what is it, are you annoying!"

Ah Hua suddenly realized that Lai Wenjun didn't seem to take a look at Chen Qiong's camellia shop from beginning to end, which surprised him.

"Lao Lai, you didn't take a look at Chen Qiong just now, did you?"

"No. There's nothing to see!"

Really, Ah Hua couldn't help feeling sad for Chen Qiong.

After the drying field, go down to the river after two layers of rice paddies. The rice is already hard.

"We have all been admitted to secondary schools, and we have to do farm work when we go home during the summer vacation." Lai Wenjun complained.

"You don't appreciate the purity of manual labor."

"If you are used to being a teacher's child, you will stand and talk without backache."

Using the rice cover to take off their clothes, only shorts were left, and the two happily plunged into the river.

It is a very beautiful river bay in memory. On the opposite side, a cliff sticks out into the river like a wedge, and the water circles under the stone cliff, forming a backwater sway about three meters deep. Can dive. You can also climb up the cliff and jump down.

It is about six meters high, which is just right to rush down to three meters deep. Ahua climbed up the stone cliff and saw Chen Qiong's shop lights up. The shop is located in the shadow of Xishan, and it gets dark earlier than other places, and the light is particularly conspicuous. Although He Ai Township is located on National Highway 108, it did not pinpoint the meal spots of passing vehicles. Vehicles keep coming and going, and they cannot prosper. Chen Qiong's shop wants to attract drivers, what does it rely on?

"Lao Lai, you see Chen Qiong guarding the roadside shop alone. It's actually quite dangerous at night."

"Is it bothering you!" Lai Wenjun still said that.

"Lai Wenjun, you don't give a damn!" Ah Hua suddenly became angry.

Lai Wenjun was stunned.

"How can we say that we and Chen Qiong are also classmates, and we don't say hello, it's too rude."

"You blame me for not saying hello yourself! I live with her in the same village, and we meet every now and then, so there's no need to say hello. If you want to say hello, go by yourself, why are you mad at me!"

A Hua language plug, took a 60-degree oblique angle into the water. When the body enters the water, there is a burst of joy. When underwater, he tucked his knees with both hands and rolled three times in a row. This is his favorite beaver roll, which he learned from "Animal World". At the bottom of the water, he looked at Lai Wenjun's pale body floating on top, and counted to himself sixty-three seconds. He couldn't hold back, he didn't break the record, he was going to do it again.

Seeing him emerge from the water, Lai Wenjun stopped him and said, "Hey, you have to talk about it. Why are you scolding me?"

"Wait a minute. I'll explain it after I figure it out. Apologize first, Jun. We're good friends for life, don't be angry."

"It counts." Lai Wenjun said, "I will hold back for a while."

He shrank his head and sank to the bottom. It was vaguely visible that he was diving upstream. After diving back into the water, the water is shallow. When he couldn't dive, he stood up, the water just over his calf. There is a red heart fruit tree on the bank next to it, many of which are yellow. He reached out and took one off and threw it to Ah Hua.

"Actually, I know what you're going to say. You just want to talk about me and Chen Qiong. Chen Qiong and your family's Lin Xiaomei are best friends, and you help her fight the injustice. But the point is, brother, even if I and Chen Qiong were in middle school. It's only been two years since the slips were thrown. The water has passed through Sanqiutian, that's what it means."

"I can see that the water only covered my calf, it's still too early for Sanqiutian." Ah Hua said while biting the red heart fruit.

This red heart fruit grows in a hollow and sees little light. It is estimated that there is sunshine for one or two hours in the afternoon every day, so the fruit is yellow and lifeless. The taste was light and sour, and Ah Hua took a bite and threw it away.

"A deadly smell."

Lai Wenjun frowned, not daring to put the fruit in his mouth.

"That's the word, the smell of death," Ah Hua said smugly.

"Excessive."

"It's not too much. It's not a good heart fruit," said Ah Hua. "It's a reddish yellow, and it's sweet. It's not a good heart tree."

"Rotten red heart fruit smells like chicken shit. It's too much to say that it smells dead."

Lai Wenjun threw away the fruit in his hand and walked to a beach. "I'm going to sleep on the hot sand for a while," he said as he lay down on the sand.

Ah Hua went and rubbed his shoulders with him and lay down for a while. I want to smoke. The feeling of being drowsy in the heat can make you want to smoke. The problem is, they're out of cigarettes. Ah Hua asked Lai Wenjun to go to Chen Qiong to buy cigarettes, which made it seem that Ah Hua was repeating the old things again, so this time Lai Wenjun had to talk about it seriously. Ah Hua, he said, it's not that I don't want to, I really can't go. Because he thinks farther. He repeated his studies for two years and was finally admitted to the Chengdu Water Conservancy School. He hopes to stay in Chengdu after graduation, but he does not want to be detained in his hometown. Saying this, it's not that he looks down on rural girls. Originally, he and Chen Qiong had nothing to do in middle school. There is no such thing as Chen Shimei who said that he ignored Chen Qiong. Interesting, what is that! They are all arranged by the buddies of Ah Hua. According to Ah Hua and others, if they want to make fakes into real ones, they are going to kill people!

In short, he said a lot in a wordy and strong tone, which made Ah Hua very discouraged.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to buy cigarettes from Chen Qiong."

Ah Hua arrived in front of Chen Qiong's shop, and saw that Chen Qiong really had a braid. In addition to the big braids, there is still a large fluffy mass on the head, and there is really a lot of hair. It looks like a random pile on the head, but it has been carefully manipulated. Her forehead drooped twice, and her right cheek was draped over her face.

A Hua said stunned: "I bought a pack of cigarettes."

"Who are you! Don't sell it."

"You can't blame me, Chen Qiong, it's all Lai Wenjun's daring to see you."

"I don't eat him again."

Seeing that Chen Qiong was taking Hongta Mountain, Ah Hua hurriedly said, "It's too expensive. I want red plums, just flat-mouthed red plums."

"My treat."

"It's still too expensive."

"We are self-employed small bosses, Eah Hua, please open up a meat meal for you poor student."

"Cow, Arjun." Ah Hua sincerely praised.

"Not really. Take it, we are happy to see our old classmates."

"Okay, I followed suit, smoked the boss cigarette, and became a boss after graduation."

"Don't laugh at us, Ava."

"Really, I'm reading books like economics now. You know, I never read textbooks. I read philosophy before, but now I read some economics seriously, because I found that what our country needs most is pragmatism and hard work. An entrepreneur. Since you want to be an entrepreneur, you must start from a very small self-employed, so I have to learn from you.”

In those years, Ah Hua was famous among his friends for his reading and lofty ideals. After choosing the ideal of an entrepreneur, he did work hard in the normal school library without eating or sleeping, and also expressed his oath to Lin Xiaomei.

"Ahua, if you want to do it, you must be an entrepreneur. As for me, I am a speculator at most." Chen Qiong said with a smile.

Ah Hua didn't notice that Chen Qiong was joking. In fact, he always had a kind of tender pity for Chen Qiong, Lin Xiaomei's best friend in middle school, who was alone on the 108 National Road guarding the roadside shop. This is a mysterious memory, boy.

"You are so proud, and you don't come to talk to your old classmates."

"Some people are shy when they see you. When they get to the river, they talk about you."

"Liar, how can you secondary school students call us country girls!"

"If I don't talk, I'm getting calluses in my ears."

Chen Qiong was shy and turned the topic to Lin Xiaomei. "How is Xiaomei now? Are you still together?"

"Together, but she is busy with classes and has rarely seen each other recently."

"Xiaomei is a college student, and she is beautiful. It's up to Xiaomei to win honor for our Jimu Middle School."

"Yeah, we might break up for fear of affecting her admission to university."

"No way."

"Hard to say."

"Well, I mean, you're not like the kind of person who would affect her studies. You're a good kid who reads books and pursues progress all day long, and other things can't get into your head." Chen Qiong began to speak carefully, then flattered, and finally but laughed. "Xiaomei doesn't dare to have fun with you. She said that you gave her a book list, and she couldn't read it. Hegel, what kind of book, what kind of book did you ask Xiaomei to read!"

"Even if we are pure, Mr. Lin doesn't believe us. She has a prejudice against us secondary school students, saying that we have a job and will not work hard. Xiaomei still has three years of high school to fight, so she can't afford to delay."

Ah Hua doesn't talk about this easily, and when he talks about it, his face will be flushed. That is, two days ago, Ahua's father said a few words to him about a child's bad puppy love. Ahua immediately thought about how his father knew about this. It must be Xiaomei's mother, Teacher Lin, who said something. Ah Hua was shy and anxious, ran away from home, came to Heaixiang, and planned to help Lai Wenjun's family harvest rice for the whole holiday. He believed that doing dozens of days of manual labor desperately could solve this trouble.

"It would be nice if you could bring what you said just now to Teacher Lin." He said sincerely, "Only you in the world understand me and Xiaomei."

"Didn't I be the sound transmission tube for you and Xiaomei in those two years," Chen Qiong said happily, "Xiaomei and I are the best, she will get off the bus to see me when she returns to Lu County. Say hello to me."

"Did she come back this year?"

"No. I'll know when I get back."

"Thank you, Arjun. I'm going to spend the summer vacation at Arjun's house. We can meet and chat every day!"

"OK."

Ah Hua returned to the river and said to Lai Wenjun, "You must go to see Ah Qiong, she is waiting for you."

Lai Wenjun pretended to be asleep. Ava was smoking a cigarette by himself.

When he smokes, he thinks of Lin Xiaomei the most, as if he smoked because of Lin Xiaomei. Is it a weird feeling that smoking makes him look like a man? And like a man just to think of Lin Xiaomei? Gradually, the cigarette butts became redder and darker. Lai Wenjun stood up suddenly, glanced in the direction of Chen Qiong's camellia shop, sat down again, and sighed. Needless to say, Chen Qiong must have turned on the lights brightly and sat at the door with a lovesick look.

"Go, go," Ah Hua urged him impatiently, "Let me think about Lin Xiaomei by myself."

Lai Wenjun got dressed and went to Chen Qiong's store. I saw that as soon as he entered the store, the door was closed, and the sales window was also closed. Within two minutes, the light went out. Ava was taken aback.

He was uneasy and ran to the bullpen to hang out with the San Gong for a while.

The San Gong said, "Strange, the bus didn't come today."

Ava hummed.

"Isn't it weird?" the third gentleman asked him, "The bus didn't come today."

Ava nodded.

After returning to Lai Wenjun's house, he told Lai Wenjun's brother that Lai Wenjun would come back later if he had something to do, so he went to bed. But I couldn't sleep. I thought about Lai Wenjun and Chen Qiong for a while, and Lin Xiaomei for a while, but I couldn't sleep.

After about two in the morning, Lai Wenjun came back. He said: "Trouble, Chen Qiong may be pregnant with my baby!"

"what!"

"Eighty percent," he said anxiously, "I can't figure it out no matter what!"

"how to do?"

Lai Wenjun's cry was brought out: "Pick it, wash it, it's not clean! It's over!"

No need to sleep tonight. Lai Wenjun was anxious, regretful, crying, and walked around in front of the bed. At dawn he decided to flee.

I couldn't wait for the bus, because the three masters said that the bus had never come; even if the bus came, I couldn't take the bus, because the bus stop was right in front of Chen Qiong's shop.

"Let's run all night!"

So after two o'clock in the morning that day, the two were on their way in a daze on the dark 108 National Road. I want to go to Asola for a while, and I want to go to Luxian Town for a while. In the end, Ahua made up his mind and went to Deer County. Needless to say, because Lin Xiaomei's family is in Luxian.
