Chapter 3 third quarter

"Uncle is in a hurry to use the money!" The talented uncle was still rambling, "The daughter-in-law someone told you about, Brother Qing, we will meet you on the sixth day of this month! I am worried that there is not enough money for the gift..." Runsheng nodded, expressing his understanding. Engagement and marriage in the countryside are the top priority for farmers.He said: "You need it urgently, I'll stop the bus for you... let's work!" Uncle Changcai nodded gratefully, praised him, turned around and left.Cao Runsheng walked back to his net, picked up the handle of the shovel, and threw sand and gravel. The wire net made continuous rustling noises, and Liu Xiaolan's pretty face and eyes flashed before his eyes. with...

The bus stopped in Wuli Town, he and she walked out of the car door, and it was getting dark. They came back from participating in the middle school basketball league together in the county.She is a substitute member of the Wuli Town Middle School team, the winner of this year's women's basketball championship, but he is the main center of the Wuli Town Middle School men's team, which is the third runner-up in the men's team.Although the third runner-up was not very prominent, the outstanding acting skills of the No. 8 center captivated the fans among the county residents.In this remote county under the Qinling Mountains, there is a deep-rooted traditional basketball fanaticism.After the game, he was selected as a member of the county middle school basketball team and will soon go to the city to compete.Now, he and she are wearing jerseys, walking through the twilight of Wuli Town, and walking towards the river beach. Their family lives on the north bank of Xiaohe.

"Let's go to school," she said. "During the summer vacation, there is no one at school, so what are you going to do?" he said. "Go get my paper order," she said. "Hurry up then," he said casually. "It's getting dark." "What are you afraid of in summer?" she said, "there is the moon." He walked into the familiar school gate together with her. On the brick-paved corridor, green grass grew out of the cracks in the bricks, and the large lacy leaves of plane trees were scattered.The old man at the gate, bare-chested and wearing only a pair of baggy shorts, was swinging a plantain fan on the recliner at the door of the reception room.When the old man saw a girl coming in, he hurriedly put on a short-sleeved sweater, then praised the two athletes who had won honors for Wuli Town Middle School, and enthusiastically handed over a mug of matching tea.Runsheng listened, just smiled innocently, and suddenly saw a piece of red paper on the wall of the reception room, which respectfully wrote the records of the school's men's and women's basketball teams. It's interesting!There are no students or teachers during the summer vacation. The old school worker still wants to write such a good news, in order to express his inner joy!The old janitor attached so much importance to the honor of Wuli Town Middle School and liked sports so much, Runsheng suddenly shortened the age gap between him and the old janitor, and warmed up.Yes, a person who has no interest in any physical activity must be very monotonous and boring in his heart.

Liu Xiaolan got a letter from someone, and sat under the light at the door to open it and read it. When she couldn't read it, she flipped through the newspaper again.This man is really cool!They had to cross the river, and they still had five or six miles to get home. It was getting dark!He urged her up. Xiaolan giggled indifferently, stood up, stuffed the newspaper into her back pocket, said goodbye to the old school worker, and walked into the narrow streets and alleys of Wuli Town. The summer night in the small town seems to be more lively than the daytime. At the door of the shops, there are men and women sitting or lying down to enjoy the shade. The TV is moved to the street outside, and some martial arts movies startle and sigh. ...

Walking through the short and shallow streets of Wuli Town, I was stunned.On the river beach, the earing rice seedlings exude a refreshing fragrance, and the canals are shining with starlight.The frog jumped up from the grass on the side of the road and hopped into the rice field.The night wind blows down from the upper reaches of the river, carrying the scent of ripe melons and fruits, pouring into people's nostrils, refreshing the mind. A frog bumped into her leg, and she screamed, jumped up, nearly fell, and clasped his shoulders with both hands.He stood still and laughed, laughing at her for being too timid.What does a frog have to be afraid of?When he was a child, he and his friends mowed grass on the paddy fields, stuffed wheat straw into the frog's butthole, and blew the little frog's belly round, and his eyes bulged out.

She covered her ears, not to listen to him talking about such a cruel game. "When you shoot, you don't even look at the ring, how can you shoot so accurately!" "How can you not look at the hoop? Look." "I found that you don't look at it, just jump up and shoot, brush-in! I've seen it outside the field several times." "Of course, mainly relying on strength..." "How come the more serious I am, the more inaccurate I am?" "Don't be too serious. The more serious you are, the less you can invest in it." "Ha! I haven't heard of it, but you can hit it casually?"

"Just to vote casually..." "The coach teacher has never talked about your theory, and always wants us to be serious." "The more serious I get, the more nervous I get. When I get nervous, I miss the shot. I just do it casually. As soon as I jump up, I don't care about anything. It seems that I am the only one on the court. Don't be nervous..." The night wind is gentle, the beach is soft, the stars are twinkling in the river, and the tranquility and refreshingness of the summer night on the river beach make it impossible to recall the hot and disturbing sunshine at noon.In the dry season, the river beach is bare of sand and gravel, and there is only a narrow clear stream, rushing, and the sound of the water is like the crisp sound of a golden chain.

He took off his shoes and pulled up his blue sweatpants so that the elastic at the bottom of the trousers caught just above his knees.The river was very shallow, so he stepped into the water with his shoes, and the cool water swished past his feet.After walking a few steps, he didn't hear the sound of her entering the water, so he turned around and found that she was still standing on the shore. "The water is very shallow, let's go, it's okay!" She stood by the water, tilted her head, and said nothing. "How fierce you are on the basketball court! This little water is scary! Let's go, there is no danger..."

She tilted her head again, but still said nothing. "What's the matter?" He turned back to the south bank helplessly, "Your family also lives by the river! Which of the dolls by the river has never played in water..." He muttered nonchalantly, walked up to her, "You are afraid of water." "I...can't..." She lowered her head and shyly muttered, "...can't...go into the water." He didn't understand, why couldn't she go into the water?It's not sick!He was too embarrassed to ask, but said with embarrassment: "Then what should we do? In summer, the wooden bridge has already been demolished."

"You..." She slightly raised her head and said shyly, "Won't you carry me across the river?" "Then..." He stuttered, his face turned hot, he had never crossed the river with a big girl on his back, hesitating, he suddenly thought, in fact, there is nothing to make a fuss about, the peasants by the river, the man carrying her back It is common for women to cross the river.He cheered himself up, freed himself from unnecessary restraint, and squatted down with a casual look. She laughed and leaned on his back.very nice!She laughed just right, her innocent and pure laughter not only relieved her own embarrassment, but also made him suddenly feel at ease.When he stood up, she was so light that she could hardly feel the weight of the load.

Her hand rested lightly on his shoulder.With his hands behind his back, holding her knees, she walked into the water, and she was still happily rattling on his back. "How broad your shoulders are!" "Boys, they all have thick arms and strong legs..." When he reached the middle of the river, the water was up to his knees, and there was a rushing sound.Her hands stretched over his shoulders and wrapped their arms around his neck.He thought she was afraid, and he encouraged her and said: "Don't be afraid, the deep sink is only three or five steps away, and it will be over soon..." But her mouth was close to his ear: "You are so stupid, you still have to ask why people can't go into the water..." "I... didn't ask." He argued. "Ask..." she said coquettishly. "No..." Before he finished speaking, she stretched out her head and kissed him on the cheek suddenly.His heart pounded, his eyes dazzled, and his hands let go.Oops!With a splash, she fell off his back and into the water.He stood in the water in a daze, not knowing what to do. She giggled, swung her arms, jumped across the river, and stood on the bank, leaning forward and backward with laughter. He walked ashore from the river and said in embarrassment: "What should I do? Your clothes are wet." "You go! Wait for me on the embankment." She said seriously, "Go straight ahead and don't look back." He walked forward obediently, without looking back, without even twisting his neck.Walking up the embankment and sitting down in the willow grove, he saw her jumping and running over from the beach, walked up to the embankment, and sat down on the sand embankment next to him. She had already changed into a pair of clean sweatpants. His heart couldn't hold back in his chest, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to stretch out his arms and hug the girl beside him. "Okay, Runsheng! If you don't recite someone, you just say you don't recite it. Why did you throw him into the river?" She pouted angrily. "It's not you on my face..." He mustered up his courage, but he still didn't make it clear in the end, "It's my fault!" "It was... accidentally touched!" She lowered her head and said shyly, "Really... accidentally..." "Then I'll... touch you too!" Unable to restrain the strong impulse in his heart, he stretched out his arms and suddenly pulled her into his arms. She jumped up, giggled, and stood on the embankment, beckoning to him. He walked over in three steps and two steps, and stood in front of her. "Sit down." She pressed his shoulder, "Let's talk. What a beautiful moon!" "I don't want to talk..." He sat down. "Then... I'll sing for you," she said. He nodded slightly and put an arm around her shoulder, and she didn't move. Gazing at the starry river, she sang softly: Ninety-nine that sunny day, The eighteen-year-old brother was sitting by the river. He didn't dare to be reckless anymore, and put an arm lightly on her shoulder.The night wind is gentle and the singing is melodious.Li Guyi paled in comparison. Never before had anyone's singing voice melted into his chest, his heart, and his blood without revealing anything; any popular light music, or campus songs, all paled in comparison and disappeared.The whole world is only rippling with such a song...
