Chapter 91 life(10)

In the morning, the sun had already gone out, so Gao Jialin got up and fetched water from the well under the rocky cliff in the ditch.He tossed and tossed and didn't sleep well last night, and got up late. The well surrounded by stones was as dirty as a rotten pond.The bottom of the well is covered with mud and toad clothes; there are some broken wood and rotten grass floating on the water.Mosquitoes and gnats flooded the place where the whole village drank water. He hesitated for a long time with the ladle in his hand, but finally he didn't scoop up any water.He simply squatted beside the well platform with the two barrels in a fit of anger.

At this moment, he felt irritable and depressed.The whole village was using all kinds of gossip to talk about his and Qiaozhen's "unscrupulousness". It was also heard that Liu Liben had already beaten Qiaozhen, and the trouble seemed to be getting worse.Right now, he saw that the well was so dirty and no one took care of it (everyone drank this kind of water and cooked with this kind of water every year), and he felt even more uncomfortable.All of this made him feel heavy and painful: the wind of modern civilization, when will you be able to blow to this backward and closed place?

His heart was restless, and he felt that it would be difficult for him to stay in the countryside.But where is the other way out?He raised his head and looked out towards Mizoguchi, and the mountain quickly blocked his sight.The world is always so narrow!He closed his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the boundless plains, the bustling big cities, the majestic locomotives, the airplanes that rose into the sky like arrows... He often used this fantasy to satisfy his spiritual needs. When he opened his eyes, he was still in reality.He looked at the well, and the dirt still hadn't settled.He sighed and thought: Maybe it would be better to sprinkle a little bleach on the ground.But where do you get this thing?Bleach powder can only be obtained in the county town.His legs were numb from squatting, so he stood up.

He couldn't help but look up at Qiaozhen Tuqian.He saw no one.Qiaozhen probably went out of the mountains; or was her father beaten so hard that she lay on the kang and couldn't move?Or, she was afraid, and she didn't dare to stand under the old pagoda tree on the bank of their house and look at him anymore—she looked at him almost every time he carried water.Often they would just smile silently or make faces at each other without words. Suddenly, Gao Jialin's eyes lit up: he saw Qiaozhen turning out from behind the old locust tree again!With her arms hanging down quietly, she looked at him happily and shyly, and seemed to be laughing!This guy!

She raised her head to the side of their house, meaning to tell Jialin to look at it.Jia Lin looked up the hillside and saw Liu Liben digging his own plot with his buttocks pouted. Gao Jialin immediately felt angry.The reason why Liu Liben beat Qiaozhen and reprimanded his father wantonly was because he didn't see Gao Jialin in his eyes!Second, relying on how much money he can make, he has never taken his family seriously. Galin decided to take revenge on him today.He wants to openly chat with Qiaozhen, let him take a look!Make him mad!He deliberately amplified his voice and shouted: "Qiaozhen, come down! I have something to tell you!" Qiaozhen was so startled that she didn't know what to do.She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the side of the soil of her house.Liu Li didn't know if he heard it or not.But still hoeing his field with head down.Qiaozhen finally came down from the slope resolutely.She didn't even walk, she ran and jumped from the nearby grassy swamp, and went straight to the well platform.

When she came to him, her shoes, socks and trousers were soaked with dew.She pinched her fingers uneasily, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jialing... what's the matter? Someone in the village is watching us, my dad..." "Don't be afraid!" Lock of Hair said, "Specially for them to see! It's not like we did something bad... Did your father beat you?" He looked at her tender face and graceful figure with a bit of distress. Tears glistened in Qiaozhen's eyes under her long eyelashes, she bit her lip with a smile, and said embarrassedly, "I didn't hit you... I cursed a few words..."

"If he wants to use force against you again, I won't be polite to him!" Galin said angrily. "Don't be angry. My father has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and he dare not do anything to me. Don't be angry, our family matters are up to me!" Qiaozhen fluttered her beautiful eyes, persuading her beloved.She looked at the empty bucket beside him, and asked, "How do you scoop water?" Galin nodded his chin into the well, and said, "It's as dirty as a latrine!" Qiaozhen sighed and said, "No way. It's so dirty, everyone still eats it." She couldn't help laughing, "There is a saying in the countryside that if you don't clean up, you won't get sick if you eat it... "Galin didn't smile. He took the bucket down from the well, put it on a stone, and said to Qiaozhen, "Well, let's go to the city to find some bleaching powder. Sprinkle it first, let's call some young people. Clean up the well."

"I'll go with you too? Go together?" Qiaozhen asked in surprise. "Go together! You push your family's bicycle on, and I'll take you, go together! Let's just leave it alone! The villagers want to laugh!" Jialin looked into Qiaozhen's eyes, "Do you dare not take it? "Take it! You send the bucket! I'll go back to push the cart and change my clothes. You change your clothes too! Don't just clean the wells, see how dirty your clothes are! Take them off and I'll give them to you tomorrow." You take a good wash." Galin shook his head with joy, and joked to his lover in rural slang: "What a good wife!"

Qiaozhen pursed her lips affectionately, blew mischievously on Jialin's face, and said, "It's so ugly..." They each went back to their homes with great excitement. For Qiaozhen, riding a bicycle with Jialin to visit the county town under the watchful eyes of her family and villagers is undoubtedly a bold challenge.What courage was required for her present situation!The reason why she is not afraid of her father's beating and scolding, and the jokes of the villagers is entirely because of her obsessive love for Jialin!As long as you follow Jialin, if he asks her to jump off the cliff together, she will jump off with him without closing her eyes!For Gao Jialin, his decision was a challenge to the old rural moral concepts and vulgar public opinion that he hated; it was also a revenge and blow to the arrogant "two capable people"!Jialin put the empty bucket at home, and dug out the clothes that hadn't been worn for a long time from the box.He washed his face and hair with soap, and immediately felt radiant and light.He combed his hair in front of the mirror and felt that he was strong and handsome!The father left the mountain, the mother went to the private plot, and there was no one at home.He took out a few dollars from a small wooden box and put them in his pocket, and then went out to wait for Qiaozhen by the bank of the village—everyone in the village had to go through the small road in front of his house when they came out.

Qiaozhen came, wearing his favorite clothes: a beige short-sleeved top and dark blue denim trousers.His glossy black hair was tied into a fluffy ball behind his head with a floral handkerchief, and his face was as white and tender as a pear blossom that just bloomed in early spring. They walked side by side from the small road in the village to the Sichuan Road.Both of them felt novelty and excitement, and neither of them said a word; they were too embarrassed to look at each other.This is the richest moment of life.When the two of them were alone in the crop field at night, their love was only their own feelings.Now, they are going to put their happiness on public display to the whole world.More people now feel a kind of solemnity and pride.Qiaozhen is proud: let everyone see it!She, an illiterate rural girl, and a versatile, strong and handsome "Mr." are proud to go to the county town of Jialin: let a village full of farmers see it!The most handsome girl in Youma River, the daughter of the famous "God of Wealth" Liu Liben, is just like a cute little lamb, following him docilely!

The village immediately became a sensation about it.The mothers-in-law, women, old people and children who had not left the mountain all came out to see them.The peasants who were hoeing on the opposite hillside and in the stream also left their furniture and came to the side of the field to look at the two "foreigners" in the village. There are those who smack their lips enviously, some who say strange words, and some who speak coldly.Gentlemen look at it with their heads turned and their heads shrunk; rough people look at it with salivation.More are very novel and interesting.Especially the young men and women in the village were envious and envious; the two girls and young men who were secretly friends in the Chuandao group hoeing the ground, watched and watched, and even held the hands of each other behind their backs! Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen knew about this, but they didn't care about it and just went their own way.A group of broken dolls were far behind them, laughing and laughing, throwing small earthen towers to them, and shouting rhythmically: "Gao Jialin, Liu Qiaozhen, the wife and old man are visiting the county town..." The old man Gao Yude was on the opposite hillside Hoe the ground with everyone.At first, he didn't know what novelty everyone ran to the bank to see, so he put down the hoe and came over to have a look.When he saw that this was the case, he quickly stumbled back into the cornfield amidst the jokes and laughter of others.His old face was flushed with embarrassment, and he sat down on the handle of the hoe, his two thin hands were shaking, and he couldn't help touching the bare feet.He secretly shouted in his heart: Mess!Mess!Where is Liu Liben now?If the "two capable people" saw it, it would be no wonder they didn't knock these two lunatics down! Liu Liben is currently in the private plot on the bank of his home.All these "two-abilities" have also seen it.However, the old man Gao Yude was too worried. "Two capable people" are just like what his wife said, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.Although he was angry and anxious at the moment, he finally didn't have the courage to do the kind of heroic behavior that the old man Yude was worried about under the eyes of everyone.He just sat down on the handle of the hoe, put his hands on his head, and sighed one after another... The next morning, there was chaos at the water inlet of Gaojia Village.In the morning, the farmers who were carrying water came to the well and found something in the water.Everyone didn't know what it was, and they didn't dare to scoop water. Many people gathered by the well.Someone confirmed that these "white things" were sprinkled by Jialin, Qiaozhen and several other young people.Someone explained that it was because Jialin liked to keep the well clean and thought the well water was dirty, so he put some washing powder in it.Some people say that it is not washing powder, but some kind of "medicine". God!Whether it is washing powder or medicine, how can you put it in it casually?All the people cursed in foul language: Gao Yude's young boy wants the life of this village!Someone rushed to Qiancun to report to Gaominglou—let the brigade secretary take a look!More bearers of water were talking and cursing impatiently.The young peasants who "sprinkled the medicine" with them explained to everyone that the bleaching powder was sprinkled in the well for the sake of hygiene, and everyone immediately scolded him: "You blind boys, follow the lunatics!" Raise the yellow dust!" "Your mother doesn't pay attention to hygiene. Did you lose an arm or a leg after giving birth?" "Hu Chengjing! I have offended the Dragon Lord, once the water vein is cut off, you go drink your urine!" Those who supported Galin's health revolution, no matter what the crowd scolded, scooped up water and took it home; but their father immediately dumped all the water they brought back in the yard.More and more people gathered around the well.And Liu Liben's house was fighting: Liu Liben rushed to beat Qiaozhen; Qiaozhen's mother was protecting Qiaozhen and wrestling with the old man. Fortunately, Qiaoying and her son-in-law were at their house, so they managed to break the fight!Liu Liben was so angry that he didn't even eat breakfast, and went out to do business - he turned from the path behind his kiln to the back of the mountain, for fear that people by the well would see him. When Gao Jialin heard that something happened in the well, he wanted to come out to explain the situation to the township party members, but his parents grabbed one arm and refused to let him go out.The old couple didn't bother to scold their son at first, they were just afraid that he would go out and be beaten by the well. At this time, Liu Liben's third daughter, Qiaoling, came out from the back ditch with a book.She just finished her college entrance examination and is waiting for the result at home.She got up early and went to the ditch to memorize English vocabulary, so she didn't know about the fight at home just now.Now that she saw so many people around the well, she came over curiously and asked what happened. Someone immediately said mockingly: "Your second sister and your second brother-in-law thought the well was dirty, so they put some washing powder in. Your family probably drinks washing powder water a lot, right? Look how white your face is!" Red to the ears.Although she is not yet twenty years old, she is as tall as Qiaozhen.She is as beautiful as her second sister, but more graceful than Qiaozhen.Qiaoling has already seen that her second sister is in love with Jialin—now she knows that she is really with Jialin.She also liked and respected Jialin, so she was very happy to find such a partner for her second sister.She also knew about the bleaching powder that was sprinkled into the well last night, so she tried to use the chemical principles learned in school to explain the effect of bleaching powder to everyone.Before she could finish speaking, someone interrupted her rudely: "Huh! That's beautiful! Get down and have a sip first! You have a Beijing accent like your second brother-in-law! Wear a pair of trousers together!" Everyone burst into laughter up.With tears in her eyes, Qiaoling turned and ran away in shame—ignorance soon defeated science.At this time, Gao Minglou, who heard the news, hurried to Qiaozhen's house to ask about the situation.Originally, he wanted to ask Jialin, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go, and ran to his in-law's house first.As soon as he entered the yard of his in-laws, he saw all four women in their family were crying.Liu Liben has disappeared.His eldest son was trying to persuade his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law with a clumsy tongue.Minglou told them not to cry, and said that the matter was his fault! After asking Qiaozhen and Qiaoling about the situation, he quickly turned around and left the gate of Liu Liben's house, striding towards the well at the bottom of the ditch. When Gao Minglou came to the well, everyone immediately calmed down; they saw what the tough leader of the village would do.Ming Lou unbuttoned the old newspaper coat one by one, put his hands on his thick waist, walked towards the well with piercing eyes, and everyone gave way to him. He bent down to take a symbolic look in the well, then turned his head and said to everyone: "Ha Ya! We are such fools! Galin did a good thing for our village, but you are cursing him, really! You have wronged the doll! Originally, the well should have been repaired long ago, I blamed me for not taking it seriously! Why didn't you take care of this water? Now the water is the cleanest water with bleach sprinkled on it! Fifth Uncle, put your Give me your horse spoon!" Gao Minglou said, he took the copper horse spoon from an old man beside him, took half a horse spoon of cold water from the well, stretched his neck and drank it all! This guy touched the water on the stubble with his hand, and said with a smile: "I am the first one to drink this water! Practice has tested the truth! Don't you dare to take this water now?" Everyone laughed Laughed.The majestic Gaoming Building made everyone submit immediately.Everyone began to compete for water—hurry up and carry it back to get out of the mountain, the sun is already a pole high!
