Chapter 86 life (5)

Gao Jialin stood on the Dama River Bridge, puzzled by what happened just now.Later, he simply saw the matter as very simple: Qiaozhen was a simple woman from the same village, and when she saw that he hadn't sold the bun, she offered to do him a favor.Rural girls often go to the market to buy and sell things, not as embarrassed and embarrassing as he is. But no matter what, he was very grateful to Qiaozhen for helping him with this favor.Although he rarely interacted with Liu Liben's family, he felt that Liu Liben's three daughters were different from Liu Liben.They all inherited Liu Liben's shrewdness, but their conduct seems to be more upright than Liu Liben's; they are not as arrogant as their father when dealing with poor farmers in the village.They all respect the big and love the small, and everyone in the village seems to like them.The three sisters are all outstanding. Unfortunately, neither Qiaozhen nor her elder sister Qiaoying have ever gone to school; the younger sister Qiaoling is in high school and is said to be the "school belle" of the middle school.For a farmer, it is indeed rare to find a daughter-in-law from Liu Liben's family.Gao Minglou was quick-witted, and married Qiaoying to his eldest son.Now Qiaozhen's matchmaker is also kicking down the threshold; the horse tie in this section of the horse shop is really Liang wearing it inside and out and running to Liu Liben's house in a daze.Gao Jialin couldn't help laughing again when he thought of Ma Shuan's attire that day.The sun was setting among the boundless mountains to the west of the Dama River.The river road leading to their village has been covered with shadows; the green of the crops in the river road seems to be darker.On the road sandwiched between the crop fields, there are almost no traces of people, and the road quietly stretches into the depths of the green.The county seat in the southeast is already shrouded in a cloud of blue smoke.The county river flowing from the north is not as open as it is in late autumn, and it bypasses the county seat peacefully.Flowed south; the water shone brightly with the setting sun.By the river, a group of bare-bottomed children were chasing and playing on the mudflat; urban women who were washing clothes were packing colorful clothes and bed sheets that were drying on the grass by the bank.From time to time, Gao Jialin turned his head and looked towards the streets of the county town.He felt that Qiaozhen might not be able to sell the basket of steamed buns—because the market had already dispersed.

When he finally saw Qiaozhen trotting towards him with a basket in hand, he decided she hadn't sold the bun—the time was too short! Qiaozhen came in front of him, quickly put a roll of money into his hand and said, "Just a little bit, fifteen cents, right?" Gao Jialin looked at the empty basket on her arm in surprise, took the money and stuffed it in his pocket, full of gratitude to her.He didn't know what to say to her.After pausing for a long time, he said, "Qiaozhen, you can do it!" After hearing Jialin's words of praise, Liu Qiaozhen's face was beaming with joy, and her eyes were even watery.Jialin stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the basket, and you should ride back quickly, the sun is about to set." Qiaozhen didn't give it to him, but hung the basket on the front handlebar of her bicycle, saying, "Let's ride together." Let's go!" Then he pushed the cart.

Galin suddenly felt very embarrassed.Riding a bike home with a woman from the same village, and being seen by people in the front and back of Zhuangqian village, it is really not beautiful.But he felt in a hurry and couldn't find a reason to reject Qiaozhen's kindness. He hesitated for a moment, and lied to Qiaozhen, "I can't take someone with me on a bicycle, I'm afraid I'll drop you." "I'll take you!" , bowed his head in embarrassment. "Oh, what can I do!" Jialin scratched his hair with one hand, not knowing what to do. "Just don't ride the bike, let's just walk back." Qiaozhen stared at him stubbornly with her beautiful big eyes, her protruding chest heaving and falling.

It seemed that she was sincerely going to follow him back to the village.Jialin saw that he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's go and let me push the chair on." He reached out to push the cart, Qiaozhen pushed him lightly with her shoulder, and said, "You've been walking for a day, and you're tired. I came riding a cart, and I'm not tired at all. Let me push it." In this way, the two of them got up together, walked out of the bridge, turned west, and walked on the simple road of Damahechuan Road to Gaojia Village. The sun had just set, and a large red cloud rose in the western sky.In addition to the faint orange light on the top of the mountain, the thick shadows of the mountains on both sides of the river have already enveloped the river, and the air also looks cool.All the tall crops on both sides of the Dama River are now coming out.Corn, sorghum, and millet all look neat.They've all gone over their heads.Various legume crops are in bloom, and a light, fragrant scent fills the air.On the hillside in the distance, sheep are going down the ditch, and white spots are rolling in the green grass.The gorgeous summer land looks extraordinarily quiet and solemn in the evening.Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen walked along the green corridor. The crops on both sides of the road separated them from the outside world, creating a mysterious realm.The two young men and women walked side by side in such an environment, and their hearts couldn't help beating.

Neither of them spoke at first.Qiaozhen pushed the cart, walking very slowly.In order not to be side by side with her, Jialin had no choice but to walk a little slower than her, staggering a little distance from her.At this moment, he himself felt a kind of mental tension that he had never felt before: because he had never walked alone with a girl in such a quiet environment.And they go so slowly.It's almost like walking. Gao Jialin couldn't help but take a serious look at Qiaozhen's profile in front of him.He was surprised to find that Qiaozhen was more beautiful than his previous impression.Her tall figure is as lovely as a poplar tree, with perfect curves from head to toe.The clothes are all half-worn: whitish light wool blue trousers, light yellow Dacron short-sleeved shirt; light brown sandals, and brown nylon socks that are a little lighter in color than the sandals.She was pushing the bicycle, and her eyes seemed to be fixed on one place in front of her, but she didn't look at anything seriously.From the side, she could be seen raising her face and smiling slightly, sometimes bending her upper body, as if she wanted to say something to him, but then turned around shyly, still looking forward as before.Gao Jialin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a girl like Qiaozhen somewhere.He recalled carefully, only to realize that he had seen a similar painting.It looks like an oil painting by a Russian artist.The picture is also a green crop field, a slender and beautiful girl is looking into the distance while walking on a small road on the ground, but it seems that she is wearing a bright red scarf around her head... In Gao Jialin's wild imagination At that time, Qiaozhen in front of him was boiling like a pot of boiling water.Walking alone with her beloved for the first time made this illiterate rural girl intoxicated with a kind of great happiness.For this day, she has been dreaming for many years.Her heart was beating wildly; her hands shaking the cart; the tide of emotion was surging in her heart, thousands of words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know where to start.She was determined to tell him everything today, but she was too ashamed to speak for a while.She slowed down as much as possible and waited until it got dark.She thought again: It’s not okay to just walk without saying a word!You have to say something first.So she turned her face away, without looking at Jialin, and said, "Gao Minglou has a really bad heart, he dares to do anything strong..."

Jialin looked at her strangely and said, "He is your relative, how can you still scold him?" "Who is his relative? He is my sister's father-in-law, and has nothing to do with me!" Qiaozhen boldly replied He glanced over at Galin. "Do you dare to scold her father-in-law in front of your sister?" "I've scolded me before! I dare to scold him in front of him!" Qiaozhen deliberately slowed down and let Jialin walk side by side with her. Gao Jialin couldn't figure out why Qiaozhen scolded Gao Minglou in front of him for a while, so he deliberately said, "What's wrong with Secretary Gao? I still can't see it."

Qiaozhen suddenly stopped in her tracks, and said angrily, "Galin! He got your teacher out of the way and let his son in! See what's bothering you now..." Gao Jialin also had to stop.He saw an expression of sincere sympathy on the lovely face before him. He didn't say anything, just sighed and walked forward again. Qiaozhen pushed the cart to catch up, approached him boldly, walked side by side with him, and said cordially: "God knows the crooked things he did, and he will be punished in the future! Brother Jialing, don't be too tortured. I lost weight. In fact, if you are a farmer, you are a farmer. There are a crop of farmers in the world! They are no worse than other cadres. Our countryside has mountains, water, and good air. As long as you have a happy family, your life will be happy. ..."

Hearing Qiaozhen's words, Gao Jialin felt very kind in his heart.He needs comfort now.He wanted to chat with her very much.He half-jokingly said: "I went to school for two days, and now I can't get up in literature or martial arts. I'm a farmer, and the labor is not good. I won't starve my wife and children to death in the future!" He finished, He laughed himself first.Qiaozhen stopped abruptly, raised her head, looked at Jialin and said: "Brother Jialing! If you don't dislike me, let's go together! You keep it at home, and I'll go up the mountain to work for us! I won't make you suffer..." After Qiaozhen finished speaking, she lowered her head and held her hand. Holding the handlebar with one hand, the other hand is pulling at the hem of the clothes awkwardly.

The blood rushed to Gao Jialin's head with a "boom".He looked at Qiaozhen in surprise, and immediately felt at a loss; he felt a burning pain in his chest.The muscles in the body tightened.Limbs become numb and stiff. love?Come so suddenly?He wasn't even mentally prepared.He has never been in love, let alone thought of loving Qiaozhen.He felt panic and novelty; with this complicated mood, he looked at Qiaozhen standing in front of him unnaturally.She still bowed her head shyly, clinging to him like a cute little lamb.The warm aura emanating from her body was strongly infecting him; the slender body like a poplar tree and the more beautiful face in the shadows deeply moved his heart.He tried his best to control himself, and said to Qiaozhen: "It's not good for us to stand on the road like this. It's getting dark, let's go..."

Qiaozhen nodded to him, and the two started walking again.Jialin didn't say a word, and took the handlebar from her, and she let him push the car without saying a word.None of them knew what to say.After a long time, Gao Jialin asked her: "Why did you suddenly mention such a thing?" "Why all of a sudden?" Qiaozhen raised her head, tears streaming down her face.So she wiped her tears and told him everything she had in the past few years...Gao Jialin felt his eyes moisten while listening to her.Although he is a hard-hearted person, he has been deeply moved by Qiaozhen's feelings.Once he was moved, he immediately had a strange passion: countless colorful pictures flew in front of his eyes; countless melodies of his favorite music rang in his ears; and the real mountains, The water and the earth became unreal... After listening to what Qiaozhen said, he put the bicycle on the road with a "slap", and fumbled nervously with his hands.

Seeing him like this, Qiaozhen suddenly laughed.While laughing, she wiped the tears off her face, took down her flower bag from the back shelf of the car, took out a pack of "Yunxiang" brand cigarettes from it, and handed it to him. Gao Jialin opened his mouth in surprise and said, "How do you know I'm looking for cigarettes?" She grinned at him charmingly, and said, "I just know it. Smoke one! I bought one for you!" Gao Jialin approached her, and without taking the cigarette, he said in an extremely cordial and affectionate way. He stared at her blankly.She looked up at him too, and quickly laid her hands lightly on his chest.Galin hesitated for a moment, then gently put his arms around her shoulders, and firmly pressed his hot forehead against hers.He closed his eyes, feeling like he had lost any memory or imagination...   When they walked side by side again, the moon had risen.The moonlight illuminated the green mountains and rivers; the sound of the Dama River was very loud in the quiet night.The village was just ahead—in the bend under the road, and they were about to part and go home. At the intersection, Qiaozhen took out the cigarette from her bag and put it in Jialin's basket, lowered her head, and whispered, "Brother Jialing, kiss me again..." Gao Jialin hugged her, kissed her on the face, and said to her: "Qiaozhen, don't tell your family members. Remember, don't let anyone know!... From now on, you have to brush your teeth... Qiaozhen nodded to him in the dark and said, "I'll listen to whatever you say..." "Go back quickly. When your family asks you why you came back so late, what do you say?" "I said I went to my aunt's house in the city." Jia Lin nodded to her, mentioned Lan Zi, turned around and left.Qiaozhen pushed the cart and walked towards home from another road. When Gao Jialin entered the village, a feeling of remorse suddenly flooded his heart.He regretted being too emotional, and seemed to have made a mistake in haste.He felt that in this way, he would probably become a farmer.Besides, he kissed a girl without serious consideration, which is irresponsible to Qiaozhen and himself.What made him feel even more painful was that he felt that tonight he had bid farewell to his past twenty-four years of innocence forever, and since then he had marked a mark on his resume in life.Whether all this is pleasant or painful, he wants to cry!When he walked into his house, his parents were sitting on the kang waiting for him.The meal has already been cleaned up, but they obviously haven't touched their chopsticks yet.Seeing him coming back, his father hurriedly asked him: "What's going on? It's been dark for a while, and it's frustrating to death!" His mother glared at his father: "It's the first time for the baby to do this job, what's wrong with you, you think the baby came back late!" She asked her son, "Have you sold the bun?" Jialin said, "It's sold." He took out the money Qiaozhen gave him and handed it to his father. The old man Gao Yude held the cigarette pot in his mouth, leaned in front of the lamp, counted some money with his two thin hands, and said, "That's right! Why don't you just ask your mother to make a pot of buns tomorrow morning, and then you can sell them. It's better than that." Working up the mountain is hard!" Jialin shook his head in pain, and said, "I won't do this business anymore, I'll go up the mountain to work!" At this time, his mother took out a letter from the needle money basket on the back kang, and said to him: "You two Dad has a letter, read it to us quickly." Jialin suddenly remembered that today he forgot to send the letter he wrote to his uncle because of the damn basket of buns—it was still in his pocket!He took his uncle's letter from his mother, and read it to the two old men in front of the lamp—— Hello!I am writing today to tell you one thing: Recently, my superior decided to transfer me to a local job.I have been in the army for decades, and I have a lot of affection for the army, but I must listen to the party and obey the organization's arrangements.Haven't decided where to work yet.I'll write to you when it's settled. How are our crops growing this year?Is life difficult?If you need anything, please write to me.Galin has already started school, right?May he work hard for the party's education cause.I wish you all the best! Brother: After Yu Zhigao Jialin finished reading, he handed the letter to his mother, thinking: Since this is the case, it doesn’t matter now whether the letter he wrote to his uncle was sent or not.
