Chapter 6 Section VI

The sun was close to the place where the earth and the sky met, and became twice as big, the entire western sky turned red, and a layer of red fog rose on the ground in the distance.In the sky above the head, strands of gauze-like clouds seem to be moving.The green wheat ears and wheat leaves have also turned purple.The willow forest belt lined up along the irrigation canal quietly opened a row of green barriers on the blue sky.In the evening of early summer in the Weihe Plain, it presents a grandeur.The fourth sister was walking on the road in the field, and remembered the scene in her hometown at this time. The sun was covered by the weedy loess hill in front of the door early, but the sky could not get dark for a long time.

He—Lv Jianfeng, her son-in-law, was walking alongside her now, with a careless and undisciplined air. According to the custom here, on the second day of marriage, both husband and wife will go back to the woman's natal home, bring four gifts including good wine and snacks, and visit the old man who raised the daughter.The mother-in-law and father-in-law must welcome the son-in-law and daughter with joy and enthusiasm. Seven dishes and eight bowls are disdainful, and a bowl of poached eggs is indispensable when leaving.The fourth sister's mother is far away in northern Shaanxi, thousands of miles away, unable to express the old man's heart to her beloved son-in-law, and has no blessing to accept the respect of her son-in-law. All of these are replaced by the second aunt, the second aunt It's really like kissing Yamato's mother!Now, she and he had finished returning to the second aunt's house, and both of them were going back to Lujiabao before dark.

She walked beside him, feeling awkward even after last night's first night of conjugal life, the most mysterious event in life had lost its mystery.From the time she and him met last night, it took only a month, and they had only spoken a dozen or so sentences in total.She didn't touch his temper, and she didn't reach the level of being inseparable.She wanted to talk to him, but she was still ashamed and filled with inexplicable worries. "Second aunt treats people so well! Give me so many eggs, I can't even eat them!" he said. "But you... still ate it," she said.

"Yeah! Do you know?" He blinked his eyelids mysteriously and looked serious, "Why does the mother-in-law give eggs to her son-in-law?" "You are a new customer!" She said indifferently. "No, no." He shook his head and said with a sly smile, "It's to add food to the son-in-law, hoping that the son-in-law will get fat, and he will come here several times at night..." "Ahhh..." Si Meizi immediately blushed when she heard such blatantly ugly words, she squatted down in shame, covered her face with her hands, and froze under the poplar tree by the roadside.

He laughed, walked over to pull her arm, and whispered in her ear, "It's ugly and reasonable, it's the same thing as feeding the bulls on the farm..." "Ah!" Simeizi heard him getting more and more rude, so she stood up suddenly and hit him on the back with her hands.He ran with a smile, and she chased him and beat him. A large canal lay in front of him. He kicked his feet and flew over the canal.She stood beside the canal, looking and looking, but she didn't have the courage to cross over. "Brother Mingsheng, I'll carry you," he said from the other side.

She turned around and walked back the same way. She demonstrated to him to see what he would do.Without looking back, she quickened her pace, as if determined to go back to her mother's (girl) house.There was a sound of running footsteps, and he finally stopped in front of her, giggling and pretending to be pitiful: "Good job! If you leave, I will have to sleep with my arms around the pillow tonight." The fourth sister really can't laugh or cry, such a shy Lu Jianfeng, is now uttering sour words.She hit him on the shoulder with her fist, but he didn't dodge, he laughed: "Hit hard! It's so comfortable! It's so comfortable for a woman to hit someone..."

She and he walked along the path, and it became dark under the thick shade of willow trees.He said a series of rude words, which really made her ashamed, but also made her get close to him.She really wanted to walk close to his shoulder, but she was embarrassed, and the desire to get close to this man in Guanzhong for the first time finally sprouted. "Do you know what this big canal is called?" He pointed to the long clear water in the big canal and asked her.Seeing that she didn't answer, he showed off, "This is a big branch canal of Jinghui Canal. Jinghui Canal, have you heard of it? Hey! It is recorded in history books and geography books that it was repaired by Mr. Li here. Yes. Mr. Li, the peasants in the Guanzhong region all know..."

"It's just a canal!" She said deliberately. "A canal? What kind of canal!" He was aroused by her light tone, "How big! How long, how much land to irrigate! How much grain to harvest! With this canal, the Guanzhong area will be Guaranteed harvest from drought and flood! Think about it, this was before liberation, in the Qing Dynasty, right? Ah, it was built in the old society anyway, was it easy? I heard that Mr. Li studied in Beijing and stayed abroad. He is an expert in water conservancy .Do you... have such aqueducts there?" The fourth sister was dumb.In my hometown in northern Shaanxi, there is a loess hill that can't be seen at a glance. It is bare, and even the grass dies in the dry season. Where can there be such flat land, such clear canal water, and Mr. Li who benefits the people like this?If there was such good water and land, would she come here to look for him, Lu Jianfeng?

"You have 'Xintianyou' in northern Shaanxi." He flattered her and said, "Really, when I was in junior high school, my Chinese teacher said 'Xintianyou' was a folk song in northern Shaanxi. I listened to it on the radio, and it was really nice. Just sing those five songs, and it will get annoying if you listen to too many." "We have a lot of good things in northern Shaanxi!" Si Meizi said proudly, "Let's talk about Xintianyou, there are so many that no one can count, it's just five songs sung on the radio!" "Sing me a song." He said sincerely.

"Call me... sister!" She had a chance to take revenge on him.However, as soon as he said it, he blushed. "Sister———" he roared loudly. The fourth sister was startled suddenly, and looked around in panic. A farmer who was watering the fields was staring at them in a daze. "Sister--" he kept calling, and turning around, complained, "Why didn't you answer?" "Ah! Stop screaming!" Fourth Sister said in panic, "People will think you are crazy!" "Then... it's your turn to sing." He pretended to be a fool. The fourth sister was teased by him so much that she really wanted to sing, her heart fluttered, and she glanced at the big man in Guanzhong next to him, who deliberately pretended to be stupid, she thought it was very interesting and cute.She calmed down a little, and sang in a low voice——

Mention a home to be famous I live in Sansanlipu Village, Suide The third brother loves to see a fourth sister you are my sweetheart "Ah! That's great!" He sighed with a strange gleam in his eyes, "You just made this up, didn't you?" "No." Fourth Sister said, "I have had it for a long time." "Then why are we both sung together?" He asked, "You are the fourth younger sister, and I am the third child in my family. Everyone calls me the third child, but you are so close that you call me the third brother..." "Ah! I don't know your name... Sanwazi!" Fourth Sister said aggrievedly, "I only know your name is Lu Jianfeng." "Coincidence and coincidence!" He said carelessly, "Sing another song! It's better... the song is more sour." Fourth Sister couldn't help but cast a glance at him, and began to sing—— you want to hold my hand i want to kiss your mouth hold hands personally Let's walk in the corner He stopped suddenly, grabbed her hand, his big eyes were burning with flames, and said in a daze, his voice trembling: "You sing... really well! Fourth sister, I want to hold your hand, and I want to Kiss your mouth, let's live a good life together!" The fourth sister looked around and whispered, "Here comes the man." He threw away her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Simeizi, I know you have suffered. You people in northern Shaanxi have a hard life. I will take good care of you." Fourth Sister's heart skipped a beat. Although this thick and big man in Guanzhong spoke clumsily, he was very sincere. Now she really wanted to rush over to his broad chest, so that her heart could have a firm support.Before she could muster up the courage, he had already lifted her off the ground and put her in his arms, those arms were about to snap her waist. It was completely dark. Fourth Sister was lying in his arms, with her arms around his neck.Her heart is extremely at ease, extremely happy.She had achieved her humble goal—to bid farewell to the unbearable bran cake.She finds a good son-in-law who is healthy, not disabled, and likes her. This is far better than those many women from the same village (including the second aunt) who can only find a deaf or crippled person. Going back to Lujiabao tonight, in the small courtyard she is no stranger to, tomorrow she will start her new life, no longer a guest, but a member of the Lujiabao, a member of the Lujiabao brigade A member of the Eight Classics.It is conceivable that sleeping on the upper kang with new bedding in that small building tonight will be much more wonderful than last night...
