Chapter 4 fourth quarter

Li Jinkui has a slight stuttering problem, which only became clear when he was in middle school. That's because of a female classmate named Li Hongye. In memory, Hongye is first of all a voice, a voice from childhood.The voice came from the mouth of the mother and aunt of the Three Kingdoms, and it had a smell of sorghum rice.In the red burning of the setting sun, the sorghum field is like a canopy of flames covering the sky, the flames "squeak" in the wind, changing from red to green, and there is an orange-red background with gold rims flying... After that, in the long time, "Red Leaf" gradually turned into a symbol, a faded impression.

The overlapping of impressions was done in the county middle school.On the first day of school, Li Jinkui was sitting in the fifth row and the fourth seat in the classroom, when he heard the teacher holding the roster shout loudly: "...Li Hongye." A female student wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt stood up in response: "Here." The word "Dao" hit the nerves of his memory like a pearl, and the voice knocked on the gate of the years crisply, and something overflowed like water, so the "red leaves" in childhood in his memory and sitting The red leaves in the classroom overlapped.Conjectures arising from the coincidence, then, is that "Hongye" and such a Hongye the same person?

Hongye was sitting right in front of him, and Li Jinkui couldn't help but want to see her face and what she looked like, but he couldn't.All he saw was the jet-black cut hair and a small white patch on her neck, on which there was a small purple-red scarf growing on it, that tiny scarlet appeared and disappeared at her collar, he Every time the neck is hooked, the little scorpion will jump out conspicuously, and it will disappear again in a short while.For a while, Li Jinkui was disturbed by this alluring little mole. It was dangling in front of his eyes like a louse, and one couldn't help but want to pinch it, and squeeze it off at once!Li Jinkui naturally didn't dare.

Later, Li Jinkui scolded himself for this, he said, are you fucking here to go to school, or to see people's necks?Don't you even think about what you are? !See blackboard! After that, he never looked at her neck again. However, in Li Jinkui's heart, there is still such a thought, he really wants to know whether this red leaf is the same as the "red leaf" he heard in his childhood.However, it's been a long time since school started, and he hasn't seen her face to face once, and he doesn't even know what she looks like.This female classmate named Li Hongye didn't live on campus (then, she must be from the city), and she left after class with her schoolbag on her back.Ordinarily, there are opportunities on weekdays, but he insists on not taking the initiative to see her. In this way, the opportunity will be lost. This seems to be a long wait, and it is also a longing hidden in his heart.

For a while, Li Jinkui often went to a waste collection station near the school.He accidentally discovered that there were many old homework books collected in the scrap shop, and those homework books that had been written were sold by the pound.He is in middle school and has too much homework, so he can no longer use that kind of cigarette case paper as homework, and besides, he has no time to pick up cigarette cases.So these very cheap old book papers became his homework.The person in charge of the waste collection station is Waibo, everyone calls him Uncle Wai, and he is also called Uncle Wai. At the beginning, Waibo collected waste book paper for two cents a catty and sold it to him for five cents a catty. After buying it twice, he became acquainted. He knew that this crooked neck also likes to drink a few sips, so he bought two bottles of loose wine for him, and said, "Uncle Wai, look, I'm here to trouble you all day." The neck was very happy, so he said: "Student, where did you go, your uncle is a waste collector, how can you deserve this? This, this, is outrageous..." But after that, when Li Jinkui went to the waste store again , Waibo said: "Student, come in and pick, pick whatever you want, your uncle won't charge you a penny." In this way, he and Waibo became Wangnian friends after going back and forth.One day, just after he came out of the scrap shop, he ran into the Three Kingdoms head-on.Thus, a long-standing riddle was solved.

That day, San Guo carried a cloth bag of sweet potato leaves on his shoulder and a basket of sweet potatoes on his arm, walking on the road as if fleeing from famine, looking around while walking, and bumped into Li Jinkui all of a sudden.When he saw Li Jinkui, he was stunned, and a little embarrassed to speak.Li Jinkui said: "Three Kingdoms, what are you doing?" Seeing that Li Jinkui didn't hold grudges, Three Kingdoms grinned and said, "My mother asked me to give my uncle some sweet potato leaves. My uncle loves sweet potato leaves." Li Jinkui saw that he was tired Sweating, he said, "Three Kingdoms, let me get some for you." Then, he stepped forward and took the basket of sweet potatoes from Three Kingdoms, which made Three Kingdoms a lot easier.San Guo waved his hands and said, "Do you know what my uncle does?" Li Jinkui said, "I don't know, what does your uncle do?" "Oh" and said nothing.Sanguo said: "My uncle wears glasses all around!" Li Jinkui laughed, and Sanguo hurriedly said, "Really, really, I lied to you as a grandson!" Small courtyard.When he came to the gate of the small courtyard, Li Jinkui stopped, and he said to Sanguo: "Sanguo, you are here, you go." Know my uncle." Li Jinkui also wanted to go, but seeing the tone of the Three Kingdoms, he put the sweet potato basket on the ground and said, "Go by yourself, I still have a class."

About a week later, one day, it was Li Jinkui's turn to clean up. When he was sweeping the classroom floor, he suddenly noticed that the door was dark, and a female classmate hurried in. The female classmate stood at the door for a while, Then he walked up to him quickly, and suddenly said: "Li Jinkui, why are you ignoring me? We are fellow villagers!" Li Jinkui was stunned, and slowly straightened up. He first smelled a fragrant smell, and saw standing In front of him was a delicate girl with an oval face, wearing a beige checked shirt, with a white face, big eyes, and two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth... For a moment, there was a "boom" in his head , as if something had blown a hole, the things that had been accumulated for a long time flooded up again... His heart was beating, but he was suddenly aroused! He stared blankly, just Unable to speak, the sentence stuck in his throat for a long time, and finally he stammered reluctantly: "You, you, you...you are, are you, Hongye? "

Li Hongye smiled in surprise and said, "Yes, I am Li Hongye. What's the matter? You don't know? Have you been sitting in the same classroom for so long? Do you really or falsely not know?" Li Jinkui had a lot of things accumulated in his heart, and the old impression was too deep, he still didn't turn the corner: "You, you, you... are, are... red leaves?" Of course, Li Hongye didn't understand that he had two "red leaves" in his heart. Seeing that he was so anxious that he couldn't speak, his face was blushing, so he changed the subject and said, "Didn't you go to my house with the Three Kingdoms that day?" ? Why don't you go in?"

Li Jinkui regained his composure at this moment, and said, "Three Kingdoms?..." Li Hongye said: "The Three Kingdoms are children of my second uncle's family." Li Jinkui said: "Oh, oh. It's, it's nothing..." Li Hongye said: "If you have nothing to do, you can't sit for a while? I have heard from my classmates that there is a person who doesn't talk all day long, just eats dry pancakes, and is unwilling to eat vegetables. He actually got the first place in the exam. It turned out to be my fellow student. what!" Li Jinkui blushed...

Li Hongye hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you can sweep it. My dad said, let you have time to go home and play." After speaking, he walked out quickly. After Li Hongye left, Li Jinkui still stood there blankly, holding the broom in his hand, and was stunned for a long time... He repeated in his heart: "She is Hongye, so she is 'Hongye' ah!" "Hongye" turned from a voice into a living person, which was beyond his expectation.The childhood impressions were expanding infinitely, weaving a dense connection. The two words that flew out of the sorghum field turned into the principal's daughter in reality. What a surprise!At this time, his stimulation was really too great. From this day on, he actually stuttered, and he couldn't say the first sentence well. The more excited he was, the more speechless he became. When it was time to speak , he couldn't help being nervous, his mouth got stuck, and it took a while before he gradually recovered.He was very depressed because of this, and he paid more attention when he spoke. Unexpectedly, the more he paid attention, the worse things happened, and the gibberish became worse.So, from this day on, he became the laughing stock of the students again.

Hongye was sitting right in front of him.Whenever the classmates roared with laughter, she couldn't help but turn her face and cast a sympathetic glance at him.how to say?People change in their eyes.When Hongye saw him for the first time, he was just a black and thin guy, dressed in tatters, his neck was as dirty as a car axle, he didn't know how to wash it, and he had a very bad smell on his body.However, watching him, an indescribable change took place in her eyes.Maybe it's because of pity for his situation, maybe it's because of familiarity that has produced a kind of family affection.She was always paying more and more attention to his eyes, and she saw a light in his eyes that was not found in other boys.Whenever his stuttering caused the students to roar with laughter, he always stood there silently and alone, without saying a word.The silence aroused yet more sympathy in her.At some point, she suddenly had a desire to help him. One day, just before class, a classmate nicknamed "Big Mouth" grabbed him abruptly. "Big Zui" is the son of the County Public Security Bureau Chief. He is usually a bit domineering and speaks indiscriminately.He grabbed Li Jinkui and said, "Stutter, I can't find that blue pen, did you take it?!" Li Jinkui was startled, and said, "What, what, what...a pen?" "Big Mouth" imitated his stammering tone and said, "What are you talking about...what...what kind of pen?—pen!" After a "coax", the students laughed and immediately surrounded him. They all looked at him with complicated eyes.So Li Jinkui was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I took it." "Big Mouth" said triumphantly, "Hmph, I thought it was you! Fuck, bring it back to me after class!" People's eyes shot at Li Jinkui's body like arrows, but he didn't say a word, he didn't say anything... The next morning, Li Jinkui was late.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he hurried into the classroom and put a blue pen on the desk of "Big Mouth". "Big Zui" picked up the pen and looked at it, he was a little surprised and said, "My pen seems...is it this one?" Li Jinkui said, "Yes, yes." Unexpectedly, after two classes just now, Li Hongye, who was sitting in the front seat, said "ah" and said, "I have an extra pen here. Whose pen is it?" That pen, that is a blue rod pen! " The students all looked at the pen, and then swallowed their heads in unison to look at "Big Mouth"... "Big Mouth" was stunned for a while with his face wide open, and then said: "My mine, I lost it." .Hold!" At this moment, Li Hongye jumped up against the case and said sharply: "Feng Xiangyi, how can you do this?! You are too outrageous! How can you be suspicious?!" "Big Mouth" looked at Li Hongye, then at Li Jinkui, and said with a smile on his face, "What does this have to do with you? I didn't force him, he admitted it himself..." At this time, Li Jinkui gave "Big Zui" a cold look, and "Big Zui" felt cold, and obediently sent the pen to Li Jinkui... That night, Li Hongye came to Li Jinkui's bedroom door suddenly, and shouted excitedly, "Li Jinkui, come out." It is the end of autumn, and the wind is few and far between, bringing a slight chill.But the heart is very hot.The two came to the playground behind the campus one after the other.The sky is very high and far away, the stars are broken into pieces of the moon, and the moonlight is silvery and white, surrounded by warm and ambiguous darkness. Not far away, the lights in the school building are lit up one by one red, which looks very warm.Li Hongye said silently: "Why do you admit it? You shouldn't admit it." Li Jinkui choked as soon as he opened his mouth, and the words stuck in his throat. He said after a while: "People, people, Huaihua...doubt us..." Li Hongye said: "If he suspects you, do you admit it? If he suspects you of murder, you dare to admit it?" Li Jinkui was silent... Li Hongye said, "You bought that pen in the store, right?" Li Jinkui said, "Yes." Li Hongye looked at him and said, "How can you do this? What if you can't find that pen? Why don't you... steal it?" Li Jinkui said: "If you want to steal, steal it. People have already suspected it. Even if I, I don't admit it, he will still be suspicious... 1. The word poor is written on my face, he can ...Don't you doubt it?" Li Hongye looked at him in surprise: "You are so strange, when people doubt you, you just admit it and don't explain it?" Li Jinkui said: "Why doesn't he doubt you... What about you? Why doesn't he doubt anything else? If he doubts, it means that he thinks it's me. What's the use of explaining?" Li Hongye said, "How can you think like that?" Li Jinkui said: "This is the logic of the poor." Li Hongye said angrily: "If you say that again, I will ignore you." Li Jinkui said: "That's right. Don't talk to me. It's not worth talking to me because you're poor." Li Hongye said: "Say more..." Li Jinkui said: "I won't talk anymore, I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave. Li Hongye stomped his feet and said, "Stop!" Li Jinkui turned his face and said, "Speak up if you have something to say. Don't say you make me stop, anyone can make me stop..." Li Hongye stomped her feet angrily, and said, "You...why are you so stubborn!" At night, Li Jinkui couldn't sleep.The shadow of Hongye is always swaying in front of his eyes, Hongye's braid, Hongye's neck, Hongye's face, Hongye's eyebrows, Hongye's eyes...the images are frame by frame, piece by piece before his eyes appeared, and then zoomed in segment by segment.A girl was tossing and turning in his mind, the whole is blurry, it is just a slim white silhouette; the part is clear and lifelike... That mole makes people want to touch it!The feeling of "Bai Liangliang" appeared when he went down, no matter what he thought, he would always fall on "Bai Liangliang" in the end, a piece of "Bai Liangliang"! ... Then it made him a little scared.He said to himself, Jin Kui, don't dare to think about it!who are you?Who are they?She is the principal's daughter, she is a golden branch and jade leaf!Besides, you can't let others pity you, she pity you because she looks down on you, you can't let her pity you!Take it easy you, take it easy.It's better to go back and read your book, the future is important! ... After thinking about it so much, he couldn't fall asleep.So, he gritted his teeth and got up from the bed, and ran twenty laps on the campus playground alone, sweating profusely! Immediately afterwards, during the mid-term exam, Li Quankui only got seventh place in the exam, and he was still in the class.So, he was stunned!He quietly ran to a poplar forest outside the school, and slapped himself three times!He said: Jin Kui, Jin Kui, you are finished! After that, Li Jinkui began to really retreat.He no longer looked at her, nor thought of her anymore, and was absorbed in his books.At night, in order to avoid her, he often went to the nearby waste collection station, where he watched the door for Uncle Crooked and read books at the same time. However, the colder Li Jinkui was, the hotter Li Hongye was. She felt more and more that Li Jinkui was different.That cold gaze always made her uncontrollably concerned.The headmaster's daughter is so pretty, how many boys in the school want to talk to her!However, there is such a black boy who doesn't even look at her, this is unbearable for her!She always wanted to scold him, but as soon as she came to him, her strength disappeared, and all that was left was speculation and tenderness.For a while, she always secretly delivered food to Li Jinkui, sometimes it was two steamed buns, sometimes it was an egg... secretly put it in the drawer of Li Jinkui's desk, without letting anyone know.But Li Jinkui always returned her back calmly.This became a kind of contest between the two, a contest of will, if you give, I will retreat, the more you retreat, the more I will give.Finally, one day, Li Jinkui got annoyed. He approached Li Hongye and said, "Li, Li Hongye, you, you, you... don't give it away anymore. You...don't pity me. I'm a countryman, you pity me for delaying things." Li Hongye also said with a cold face: "Why should I pity you? Who gave it to you? How do you know that I gave it to you? Is it because you have a ghost in your heart?" Li Jinkui said: "That, that's good. Let me tell you, if you want to give it away again, I will eat it, and I will eat it for free, and I will not thank you for eating it!" Li Hongye said: "Whether you eat or not is none of my business? Who told you to thank me? !” After she finished speaking, she turned her head and walked away. After walking a few steps, she couldn't help laughing in her heart. Afterwards, Li Jinkui said to himself, anyway, as I said, cheap is cheap to the end!I will eat you for nothing, who asked you to give it to me? !So, Li Jinkui ate whatever Li Hongye gave, and ignored her.He just wants to let her know that I will do what I say, and I will eat for free!He thought, I'm like this, "Meat buns beat dogs!" She won't give them anymore.Unexpectedly, this gave Li Hongye a hidden joy, a little secret hidden deep in the heart of a girl.Once a person has a secret, his heart will be different. Li Hongye seems to have eyes all over his body, paying attention to him all the time, which instead creates an invisible closeness.She gave gifts even more happily, and she had to give something to Li Jinkui when she had various responsibilities. Sometimes, she really had nothing to give, so she went to the street to buy a few pieces of candy... She even mobilized the principal's father to give Li Jinkui something. I have applied for a bursary that can subsidize six yuan a month!However, in the classroom, both of them are cold, they don't say a word, they are like strangers. The winter vacation is approaching. One day before the holiday, when Li Hongye was packing her schoolbag, she suddenly found a bag of soft things in her schoolbag.She quietly opened it and saw that there were a whole dozen handkerchiefs!At that time, even though she was the principal's daughter, she had never seen so many handkerchiefs.Twelve, a full twelve!Her face turned red after "spraying", so red that she had a fever, her heart was about to burst out!That feeling was something she had never had before, she really wanted to yell... But, she just hurriedly put on her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, she felt that if she was a little later, she would go crazy! Li Hongye was walking on the street like a wandering soul with her schoolbag on her back. She didn't know what she was going to do. Paying back, but deep in her heart, there is still a little bit of resentment, and she is also grievous for herself, but suddenly, it is almost a devastating blow to her!She simply didn't know what to do with herself.Walking, walking, she came to the largest department store in the county.In front of the counter of the store, she couldn't help asking the price of the handkerchief. She usually bought twenty-five cents a piece, which was better, but this kind of handkerchief with various patterns was fifty cents a piece. It's the most expensive kind in the store... She murmured: How dare he, how dare he! In the evening, on the small bridge beside the county seat, she intercepted Li Jinkui who was about to go home with his bedroll on his back.As soon as she saw him, she excitedly said to him: "Li Jinkui, you...how can you do this? Who asked you to give me a handkerchief?!" Li Jinkui stood there without even raising his head, and said, " You, you... made a mistake? I, I... I can't even eat, I can't eat enough, I will give you a handkerchief?!" Li Hongye was startled, and said: "Who is it? You still don't admit it? Li Jinkui said: "I told you a long time ago, I, I am a free eater. Would I do that kind of thing?" He said, he put the bedroll on his shoulder, and walked straight away.Li Hongye had no choice but to shout: "You are such a rascal, Li Jinkui!" Li Jinkui immediately turned his head and said, "City people, you are right. I am a complete country rascal!" Li Hongye spent the whole winter vacation in a state of anxiety.What stuck in her mind was that pair of cold eyes, which were carved into her heart like knives... She was restless all day long, as if her figure had collapsed.During the Chinese New Year, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she rode to the countryside in the name of seeing her second uncle.But she only stayed at the second aunt's house for less than an hour, and then let San Guo lead him to Li Jinkui's house.When I entered the door, I saw a bowed old man half leaning over, carrying a broom, with long saliva dripping from his mouth, looking at her stupidly, and murmuring, "Whose family is this?" Daughter? Just like Huaer!" Sanguo hurriedly said: "This is Lao Bao, Jin Kui's father, please ignore him!" But Li Hongye went up to him and said, "Grandpa, I am the daughter of Li Zhiyao's family. It's a classmate..." Upon hearing this, Lao Biao moved closer, looked at it again and again, and said, "Oh, it's from Zhiyao's family. Why is it the same as Hua'er?! I heard that your father has become a high-ranking official?" Three Kingdoms took the lead Say loudly: "My uncle is the principal! The principal of the county!" So Li Jie shouted: "Come on, Jin Kui, here comes the visitor!" Li Jinkui came out of the room, stood leaning against the door, and said, "Come , are you here? Yes, are you visiting relatives, right?" Li Hongye glanced at him and said, "Yes, visiting relatives. Let's take a look..." At this time, the family members gathered around, and the old bundle was so excited He jumped up and said: "Look, Zhiyao's house is really like a painting! It's our Jin Kui's classmate. Damn, why don't you light the fire to beat the eggs? Start the fire!" Li Hongye hurriedly stopped and said: " Don't bother, don't bother, I'm just stopping by to see, and I'll be leaving in a while..." Li Jinkui said: "Forget it, if our family is like this, people won't eat here..." The old bundle said in a circle: " That’s right, there’s nothing delicious...there are tomatoes, we have tomatoes!” After sitting for a while, Li Hongye couldn’t stand the spittle from Lao Jie, and she finally said: “I’ll go I have to go." Li Jinkui said: "Shall I see you off?" Li Hongye was waiting for this sentence, she stood up and left.When the family was sent out, Lao Jie said, "Let Jin Kui see it, let Jin Kui see it." However, just as Li Jinkui left the house, he was stopped by Lao Bao, who dragged him into the house and stared at him. He lowered his voice and said, "Jin Kui, my son, have you lost your courage?" Li Jin Kui stared blankly at his master.I saw Lao Bie gasping heavily and gritted his teeth: "...you take her off! If you dare to take her off, she will be your daughter-in-law!" After saying this, the flames on Li Jinkui's body "chuckled" Woke up!
