Tian Qiuju sat on the ridge, chin cupped in her hands, watching the river flow.
The water in the river has turned into waves, and in this rainy August, turbidity carries sediment. Only when the water rushes down the low-lying areas can bright water droplets be splashed.
"Hey, are you thinking about your boyfriend?" Suddenly there was a loud cry behind her, and Tian Qiuju almost fell into the river.
Tian Qiuju stood up and looked back. She saw that it was Liu Min from the village. Liu Min put his hand on his chest and laughed cuttlefish disorderly fibrillation. She thought, I don't know what she was scared into, which made Liu Min laugh like this.
Tian Qiuju looked at Liu Min reproachfully. Finally, her mouth twitched twice and said nothing. She bent down to pick up the sickle on the ground and cut the millet.
Mid-August is the season for harvesting millet. Today, Uncle Liu's family at the village head invited someone to collect millet, and Tian Qiuju came to help. She came early and sat on the ridge by the river. She looked at the water droplets washed up by the current in the river, sometimes big and sometimes small, a little absent-minded, and found no one coming.
Lu Min is also here to help Uncle Liu's family collect millet. When he came to the venue, no one else had arrived. Tian Qiuju was the only one staring at the river in a daze, so the prank startled her. Unexpectedly, he was really scared.
At this time, other people who came to help came one after another. Lu Min came to the clearing opened by Tian Qiuju with a "vat" of millet, and the day's work began.
At noon lunch, Tian Qiuju added vegetables and sat on the edge of the ridge to eat slowly.
Lu Min ate quickly and finished it early. He looked at Tian Qiuju, who had been silent for a long time, and was angry with him. He caught a grasshopper and secretly put it on the collar behind Tian Qiuju's head. The grasshopper rubbed on the collar twice and then jumped away.
Tian Qiuju is eating seriously with her head down. She didn't know it was Liu Min's ghost. She felt something climb up her neck, and she lost her chopsticks in fear. She touched her neck and shouted, almost spilling the food on her left hand. Make the person next to you laugh. Tian Qiuju kicked Liu Min with her leg lifts, and Liu Min ran away with a smile.
After dinner at Uncle Liu's house in the evening, everyone began to play poker. This is the most popular entertainment in the village now. It doesn't matter if you play at 2 o'clock, or upgrade (several local ways of playing cards) without gambling.
Tian Qiuju sat watching everyone play. She doesn't like playing
Before long, the gate creaked. The door opened and a man came in with a flashlight.
They turned their heads and saw that the person who came in was Pinger in the village. Ping is wearing a red and white plaid coat, the most popular jeans and a pair of white sandals. It gives a neat appearance. She walked in at a brisk pace. Big braid hung behind him, swinging rhythmically with his footsteps. She came to the living room and greeted everyone with a smile. Charming dimples appeared on her round little face, and she smiled amiable and lovely. At the age of eighteen, she still looked childish, which attracted the boys in front of her to look askance.
She went straight to Lu Min and said, "Brother Min, you're back. I won't go home when I come back. "
Lu Min works outside the home and only comes back to help during the busy farming season.
Lu Min has a poker in his hand. Just as he was playing cards, he chose a card and pressed it on the card that had just been played. Without looking flat, he said slowly, "I'm back."
Ping took the stool handed by his master and sat next to Liu Min to watch them play cards. Today, she didn't come to help Uncle Liu collect the millet. People in the village have nothing to do at night. When they see many family gatherings, they will gather there for a while and join in the fun. Ping came to Uncle Liu's house after he was busy at home.
It's easy and boring to watch others play. After more than an hour, Tian Qiuju dozed off. She wants to go home. She begged Uncle Liu: "Grandpa, I don't have a flashlight. Give me a flashlight. I'm going home. "
Tian Qiuju went back to Uncle Liu's house with millet on her back from the field without a flashlight. People in the mountains have plenty of torches from Song and Ming Dynasties, so they can light them and go home.
"It's still early. The little doll's family will go back early to do something, and then play for a while and then leave. " Uncle Liu answered with a smile. However, he got up and found a big knife and Song Ming, trying to cut Song Ming into thin branches. In a short time, a piece of Song and Ming became a pile under Uncle Liu's knife.
Tian Qiuju selected a few good branches of Song Ming, kneaded them into handfuls and lit them on a pit of fire. When Song Ming touched the bright red coal, Mars splashed on the fire pit. Mars flies around and disappears into the air.
Tian Qiuju held a torch to say goodbye to everyone. Lu Min also lost his playing cards, saying that he would help others to collect millet tomorrow, get up early to do his own thing, and go home early to rest. He didn't light the fire, so he followed Tian Qiuju.
Ping and Lu Min are in the same row, very close. Ping said she would go with Lu Min, but she was still a little afraid to go alone. She also got up and followed them.
Three people left Uncle Liu's house together.
There were not many people in this Wayao village, but people's houses were built sparsely along the mountain, which made the village cover a large area. There used to be two kilns burning ceramic tiles at the foot of the mountain. This village is called Wayao Village.
Uncle Liu's home is at the head of the village, and his peaceful home is at the end of the village. It is inevitable that he will pass through some Woods in the middle.
Tian Qiuju's home is relatively close, and it didn't take long to get to the door. She said to the two men, "Brother Min and Sister Ping, please sit at home for a while before you go back."
Originally, Lu Min wanted to go in. Ping said, "It's getting late. I won't go in. Come and sit down later. " She turned to Lu Min and said, "Brother Min, let's go."
Tian Qiuju gave some Song Ming to Lu Min. Lu Min took it and went home together in peace.
Tian Qiuju went home and took a bath, then got into her room. Her room is a small bungalow, separated in the middle, one for her and one for her brother.
The room is small, but neat. There are two boxes of books on the bed board supported by the bedside. These are her treasures. These two boxes of books have replaced the colorful cloth and needlework in other girls' rooms.
Tian Qiuju went to bed, picked up the book on her head and changed her listless mental outlook at Uncle Liu's house. The whole person was refreshed and soon wandered through the books. Some of these books can be recited, but she is still reading them over and over again.
? Tian Qiuju is the eldest in the family. My family was poor when I was a child. After graduating from primary school, I followed my parents to farm and never had a chance to go to school again. Poverty at home made her feel inferior. She always thinks she is inferior to others. She was eager to go to school since she was a child. Now she can only put it in books to have fun and kill time. Only when reading a book can she forget all the pain and unhappiness. Her inferiority complex and the fact that she always buries herself in books and doesn't play with her friends give others the impression that she is withdrawn, calm, cowardly and arrogant. So now I'm twenty years old, still alone, and my heart is still blank. Compared with those girls in the village who were surrounded by a bunch of boys at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she is much purer, like a piece of white jade. Is recognized as a cold beauty.
Indeed, she is not tall, thin and rugged, with oval face, arch eyebrows, soft and boneless hands, slender fingers as beautiful as those designed in comics, like a Gesang flower, faintly open. It's a real beauty embryo, which makes people afraid to look directly at it, feeling that they can only look far away and can't touch it. This is one of the reasons why she is still single. Boys dare to think and do it.
The villagers all helped each other with their work, and they also helped to harvest millet, corn and wheat for several days. Among the helpers (meaning help), many partners, such as Ping, Tian Qiuju, can help the family and often get together. Lu Min always makes fun of Tian Qiuju, always bullies her and makes her angry, so other girls have never been bullied by him. This made Tian Qiuju very sad. See her angry, always a look of schadenfreude, never tired. She thinks she is too weak to be teased by Lu Min often. But no matter how incompetent he is, he can't look at her every day and make fun of her. She was very wronged. Slowly, she said nothing, but she hated Lu Min in her heart. He did that to her. She is looking forward to finishing the farm work early, letting the villain go out to work early and get out of her sight early.
Liu Min doesn't seem to know her anger and disgust, but she bullies her more. She is very helpless.
The weather is fine this year, and the farm work has been finished early. Tian Qiuju breathed a sigh of relief. There is no need to be a doormat every day, which makes people fool. This time, Lu Min, who got a thousand knives, can get out. But this year, Lu Min didn't go out, but she continued to bully her at home. But people who help don't have to help, they don't have to meet all the time, and they don't have to make a fool of themselves in public when they make her angry.
When the wheat is half a foot long, the cherry blossoms are raining. Wheat stretches its slender leaves and absorbs the rare rain. After the rain, the fierce competition of wheat soon covered all the ground, and the wheat field was light green. At this time, the wheat seedlings will be fertilized for the first time.
Get up in the morning, after the rain clears, it is a good time to fertilize. Tian Qiuju carried half a bag of urea fertilizer to fertilize the wheat field. On the way, she asked Ping to go with her. The flat wheat field is under her wheat field, so we have company.
Before long, they came to the field, and Lu Min came here in a hurry with fertilizer. His wheat field is above Tian Qiuju's, and they often meet when they are working together.
There are not many wheat fields here for economists and peacemakers, and it won't last long. Tian Qiuju still has more than half. They are both busy giving alms in other wheat fields. They left together.
Tian Qiuju looked at two people coming in tandem at a distance and suddenly understood why Lu Min didn't go out to work this year. He's in love. The object is her good Pinger.
Tian Qiuju thinks so. It can be said that she has more contacts with Ping. Actually, I don't have any close friends.
It's time for Lu Min to find a partner. He is twenty-five years old. All the boys of the same age in the village have become fathers. Only he has never been in love, as if the spring breeze had never blown him. Everyone else is worried about him, but he always says it's still early, but it's better than a few years.
"But fell in love with ping. Why do you always bully me and make me angry? Is he showing how gentle Ping is to her and not so good to others? It's despicable and hypocritical. " Tian Qiuju scold a way in my mind.
If they can be a couple, it's a match made in heaven. She is also happy for Ping.
It is not difficult for Lu Min to find a marriage. He is a big man with a handsome face. Another clever brain. The girls are all looking forward to his proposal. What people really don't understand is why he is still alone under such conditions.
In the evening, Tian Qiuju came home from work. Today, I barely finished shoveling this ridge, and Tian Qiuju came home late. She hurried along with a hoe. Back at the foot of the mountain, I was just about to enter the village when I heard a chirp in front. She took a few steps and saw Ping and some friends coming.
When they came to Tian Qiuju, Ping asked Tian Qiuju, "There is another movie in our village tonight. Don't you know? I heard it was Meng Jiangnv. Aren't you going? "
Tian Qiuju is not interested in anything else. She has to go to the movies every time. But now she is still disappointed and says, "I came early in the morning. I don't know. I haven't gone back to dinner yet, and I have no money. It is too late tonight. Let's wait until tomorrow night. "
"Just two yuan, I see. Go or not? " Lu Min said: "This is a classic movie, so I may not see it in the future."
Tian Qiuju's heart itches. Meng Jiangnv's love story has been heard several times. Meng Jiangnv cried down the Great Wall for her husband, and she was moved by her sincere love. She was glad to see the film. Finally, she followed them.
The village committee is at the foot of the mountain in Wayao village, which is where the Wayao kiln is burned. Two brick kilns were filled in, and the brick factory was crushed into a large flat land. A two-story wooden house with civil structure was built on the east, south and west sides of the flat. The north is surrounded by soil, leaving a door in the middle of the wall. A big yard is formed in the middle. People come here to show movies several times a year. The screen hangs on the gate. Those who come to the movies early will sit in the corridor or under the eaves on the second floor, otherwise they will have to sit in the yard. There is a bench to sit early, and you can only sit on the floor when you are late. The cinema is that simple. There are still many people watching it if it is not shown several times a year.
Tian Qiuju and his party came to the gate, and the little brother who sold tickets came out with a ballot box to sell tickets. He watched Lu Min buy two tickets and gave Tian Qiuju one. He looked at Tian Qiuju and then at Lu Min and gave them a meaningful smile. Tian Qiuju is embarrassed.
Dude, you misunderstood.
They came early tonight, and there was no one inside. They sat together in the corridor of the South House. This is the best place to sit in the house and watch movies.
Half an hour after the film was shown, the door was completely open and no one else was charged.
Liu Min got up and went downstairs and ran out the door. Everyone thought he had gone to the toilet and came back with two packs of biscuits in his hand. He bought this in a small shop outside the gate. This kind of biscuit is a good food sold here. He threw a bag to Tian Qiuju, tore it open and shared it with several people who came together.
Tian Qiuju also you're welcome, tear it open and eat it. This is a little compensation for his bullying her. She's a little hungry, too.
Tian Qiuju couldn't help crying when this movie was sung on the way of Meng Jiangnv delivering cold clothes in1February.
Lu Min looked at her and said with a smile, "What are you crying about? Anyway, no one will send you cold clothes in this life. "
Tian Qiuju almost choked on his naked insult. She looked up and said with tears in her eyes, "This is from Meng Jiangnv, not Fan Xiliang. If I want to send it, I will send it. In the future, I will find someone who really loves me. It is you. Did your Meng Jiangnv send you cold clothes? "
Lu Min lowered his head and whispered, "If I don't receive it, it's time."
"Fan Xiliang is really a blessing, with Meng Jiangnu sending cold clothes thousands of miles away. Brother Min, you also have such a Meng Jiangnv. If someone gives it to you, will you accept it? " Sitting next to Liu Min, she has something to say. Bend over and said to Liu Min.
"That depends on who Meng Jiangnv is." With the rhythm of Ping's bending over, he walked to Tian Qiuju.
It's flat and empty, not relying on it.
Tian Qiuju is very confused. Didn't the book say that couples are either holding hands or holding hands when watching movies? Lu Min pretends to be a gentleman. Hypocrisy and ridiculous.
After watching the movie, a gust of wind blew and Tian Qiuju shivered. It's already deep winter. Although this place is like spring all the year round, it is winter and it is still very cold. It's not cold when she goes out in the morning, and she doesn't wear much. She was crowded in the corridor just now, and it wasn't that cold. It's cold when the wind blows now.
Lu Min looked at her trembling. He took off his coat and handed it to Tian Qiuju: "Put it on. It's hard to explain to my aunt when it's frozen. "
"It's none of your business. It won't be so cold after a while, and it won't be cold after a while. " Tian Qiuju didn't answer. She doesn't want it. What does she have to do with him?
Ping took off her scarf and put it on Tian Qiuju.
Liu Min arrived at the door, and he was going to send Tian Qiuju back. Tian Qiuju said no, so she was given a flashlight. There is no moon now, and it is still very difficult to walk on those bumpy roads.
Lu Min didn't insist, so she gave Tian Qiuju the flashlight and went home.
