In the afterglow of the setting sun, the sun shone on He Xiaojing's delicate face, like a girl herding sheep on the hillside at dusk. When He Xiaojing was in a daze, Yang Mo secretly took out the phone, focused it and clicked to capture her most beautiful side. Save in mobile photo album.
The two stayed like this from noon to about six o'clock in the afternoon. He Xiaojing, who was born in the city, was used to the feasting and feasting in the city. She had never seen the sunset in the countryside since she was a child. As soon as she saw it today, she fell in love with it deeply. .
"What are you doing!"
When she was immersed in admiring the beautiful scenery, Yang Mo took out his cell phone, took a photo, and quickly put it back in his pocket.
"Take a picture of you."
"Take it out and let me take a look. I won't spare you if you look ugly."
"Don't worry, my wife looks beautiful no matter how you take the photo. Coupled with my professional photography skills, it will definitely be good."
Hearing Yang Mo praise herself a few words, He Xiaojing lowered her head shyly, and her face turned as red as an apple.
"cut……"
The two of them were quarreling like this, quietly enjoying the sunset. There was no hustle and bustle in the city, only the breeze gently blowing the thin hair, and bursts of fragrance assailed Yang Mo, who seemed calm on the surface. , in fact, my heart was already in turmoil.
"Husband, what would happen if we moved here? Will we live a life of men farming and women weaving?"
He Xiaojing slowly rested her head on Yang Mo's shoulder, looked up at Yang Mo and asked.
"I think it's pretty good. After all, this is my home, the place where I've lived since I was a child. But it's okay to come and stay for a few days occasionally. You may not like it if you stay for a long time."
Yang Mo glanced at He Xiaojing and already knew the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to say it out loud.
In his opinion, the countryside is indeed as charming as He Xiaojing imagined. To city people, it is a kind of beauty. However, to rural people, it is indeed commonplace and can be seen at any time in summer. If a child from the countryside can make a name for himself in a big city through hard work, he will not go back to the place where he lived before, because it is not worth returning to, unless he misses his hometown very much. .
"You people born in big cities will not be surprised if you see such a scene for the first time. You will definitely like the scenery in the countryside. You think that people born in the countryside can enjoy such beautiful scenery every day. But I want to tell you, if After you stay for a long time, you will find that your thoughts at the time were just impulses."
He Xiaojing listened to Yang Mo's words and stared at him blankly without speaking.
"Maybe it's like what you said! This may be the first time I've seen such a scene, but I feel it's a bit cleaner than in the city. This is a place with fresh air and beautiful environment."
Then, He Xiaojing pointed to a house on the opposite mountain that was larger than the surrounding ones and asked, "That seems to be a school!"
Yang Mo followed her finger and explained, "Yes, that's the school I went to in elementary school. I studied there for six years in elementary school? But it's no longer open now."
"Why?"
"The population is insufficient. Since our class left, the number of people in each grade has gradually decreased, until in the end there were even less than ten people in a class."
"So, when there were only a few people left, the parents of those children simply sent them to study in the town. After the school ran out of students, all the teachers were transferred to teach elsewhere."
While they were chatting, they suddenly talked about Yang Mo himself, which made He Xiaojing even more curious.
"Then tell me why you dropped out of high school before finishing high school. You should have pretty good grades too!"
"Because my family was poor at the time, my parents couldn't provide for my sister and I, and the old couple were too old to do any physical work, let alone go out to work, so I made up my mind to drop out of school and work hard to make money to support Xiaoting when I came back. Studying, no matter what, I want her to go to college and graduate from college. She will not look for hard work everywhere like me. In rural areas, if she is admitted to college, it means that she will have a better job in the future. There’s a way out.”
"In the three years after graduation, I worked as a coolie on a construction site in our town for three years. During this period, many unforgettable things happened."
He Xiaojing held her chin in her hands and looked at Yang Mo affectionately, as if she was falling more and more in love with this man full of stories.
"What unforgettable things have happened to you, and what happened next?"
Yang Mo was on the stage like a big star enjoying the attention from all around, while He Xiaojing was like a little fangirl, sitting under the stage looking forward to what would happen next.
"During the three years when I was working as a coolie, the foreman who contracted the project, who was also my boss, sometimes either beat us or scolded us, but there was nothing we could do about it, because none of the people who worked for him did it for money. , who doesn’t have a family to support, if anyone dares to talk back, today’s work will be equivalent to nothing, pack up and leave.”
"And towards the end of the first year, on the day when wages were settled, the boss suddenly summoned everyone to a dilapidated building. We were very happy at that time, thinking that we would go home happily after our wages were paid. A year ago, I never thought that he would actually say: The authorities haven’t allocated any money yet, so I might have to wait until next year to get my salary.”
"At that time, all of us took off our helmets and a group of people gathered around and beat him up."
Yang Mo lit a cigarette and continued: "Guess what he said later?"
He Xiaojing asked: "How to say?"
He Xiaojing was fascinated as if listening to a story, staring at Yang Mo with dull eyes.
"He threatened to pay someone to come and beat us up, but we didn't show any weakness. We usually work for you and let you beat us and scold us, but in the end you can't even pay us wages. , if you have the guts, you can call me, but you must live through today first. This was said by an uncle next to me at the time."
"That uncle worked with me in the same team, and he was usually very nice to me, but he had a sick daughter who was still in the hospital and was in a hurry for money, so he came to work on the construction site."
"After he finished speaking, the uncle found a steel pipe nearby and broke the foreman's legs in a fit of anger."
"I saw the contractor with a headache, grinning and begging for mercy, saying that he would be given tomorrow."
After saying that, Yang Mo swallowed after the cigarette in his hand burned out.
He Xiaojing asked again: "What happened next? What happened to the uncle later?"
"Early the next morning, the contractor gathered a group of people and came to the construction site. Each of the people he brought held a stick and shouted downstairs in the apartment where we all lived, asking him to kill him yesterday. The guy with a broken leg, let him get down.”
"At that time, the uncle picked up a stick and went downstairs alone. Others were watching in the corridor, and everyone was muttering that this uncle was in bad luck."
"Why didn't you leave earlier the night before? What happened next? Was that uncle beaten?" He Xiaojing asked worriedly after listening to Yang Mo's words.
"Leave? We can't leave without being paid. We're afraid that the contractor will run away, and if he doesn't pay wages, we will raze the building to the ground."
"When that uncle faced twenty or so people alone, I was so cruel that I followed him down. He repeatedly advised me to go up and not cause trouble, but I am a person who knows how to repay kindness."
"When I first arrived at the construction site, I was so poor that I didn't have a penny. Otherwise, if the uncle had advanced me some money in advance, I would have starved to death. Therefore, I still remember this kindness to this day. . As soon as we finished speaking, the foreman gave an order and everyone rushed over and surrounded us. At that time, I was thinking that if so many people beat us, both of us would be seriously injured, and we might be bedridden in the future. , but the next operation surprised me. As soon as we started, those people who used to work with us upstairs also came down to help us. "
"The scene was like an ancient war. Both sides were fighting together. Since there were more people coming downstairs at that time, the people brought by the contractor were beaten and fled in a hurry. There were also some on our side. Seriously injured people.”
"But during the fight, someone suddenly took a stick and swung it at my head while I was not paying attention. The uncle helped me block the stick, so he suffered a head injury and fainted. When I saw him trying to help After I blocked the blow and fainted, I started to get crazy. I picked up the stick and hit him hard. One of his legs was directly broken by me. The contractor in the car saw that he was defeated. I just knelt on the ground in fear."
"Actually, what he said at that time was that there was no funding from the higher authorities. That was false. The reason was that he wanted to keep our wages as his own. After being beaten, the contractor would pay each of us wages."
After listening to Yang Mo talk about his own experience, He Xiaojing couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that your life experience is so rich and you have experienced so much."
Yang Mo sighed, then looked at He Xiaojing and asked: "Wife, I want to ask you a question."
"You ask!" He Xiaojing looked at Yang Mo's confused expression, as if she wanted to ask herself some question, and looked at him suspiciously.
"Why did you fall in love with me at that time, a person who wants no education, no money, and a rural background?"
Yang Mo's words made He Xiaojing blush suddenly and didn't know how to answer him.
"I said it was based on intuition, do you believe it?"
"Did I do this because I was carried away by love after I happened to save you three years ago?"
"Actually, this is also a reason. It's more that you give me a sense of security that I've never had before." He Xiaojing said cautiously, but the next thing she wanted to say was what she wanted to say.
"I have seen too many couples break up and get back together during college. Some of them often rented houses outside on weekends and broke up as soon as they graduated. Some of them were well-dressed on the surface, but secretly they were doing things that no one knew about. For example, Zhong Futao, who attended the class reunion last time, chased me when he was in college. To be honest, I was a little tempted, but since I found out that he often followed female classmates from our school to rent a house behind his back, I I’m starting to feel disgusted with this guy.”
"From the first moment I saw you, my intuition told me that this person seems to be quite good. After getting along with you for a while, I found that you are a worthy and reliable person."
When He Xiaojing said this, Yang Mo, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but snickered.
"why are you laughing?"
"According to what you said, I think Zhang Haifeng is somewhat similar to me. He..."
Before Yang Mo could finish speaking, He Xiaojing's ear was caught hard.
"It hurts, it hurts, wife, I was wrong."
He Xiaojing gritted her teeth, thinking that she must teach him a lesson: "Keep telling me."
"No, no, no."
While people were making a small fuss, the cell phone in Yang Mo's pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Yang Ting's call, so he picked it up and said, "Xiao Ting, what's wrong?"
"Brother, where are you and your sister-in-law? The food is ready. Come back for dinner quickly. Your parents are waiting for you?"
"Okay, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mo returned to his previous appearance.
"Honey, put your hands down first, be good, and go back to eat."
"I won't. I'm going to go home holding your ears like this."
At this time, the sky was slowly getting darker, and the big trees behind Yang Mo and He Xiaojing were blown by the wind like ghosts, making teeth chilling.
"Honey, look what's behind you."
Yang Mo wanted to tease her, but when He Xiaojing turned around and saw the darkness behind her, she screamed loudly and immediately threw herself into Yang Mo's arms.
“Husband, I’m afraid~~”
When the plan succeeded, Yang Mo's face was full of joy. This was the first time he hugged He Xiaojing at such a close distance outside.
"What are you afraid of? There's nothing wrong with it. If you're afraid, keep holding me like this, otherwise I'll get lost later..."
Yang Mo was about to say something when a strong wind suddenly blew up, causing several trees to clump together and send a chill down his back.
Yang Mo just carried He Xiaojing down the mountain.
Ten minutes later, when I walked to the door of my house, I saw Yang Ting walking around and looking at the two cars in front of her door. She kept muttering in her mouth: "What a beautiful car. It would be great if I could buy exactly the same car in the future." …”
"Xiaoting, I'm back."
Suddenly interrupted by Yang Mo's words, she looked back and saw that her brother and sister-in-law were coming back. But what puzzled her was why the sister-in-law kept hugging her brother and burying her head in his chest.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Tingting, your sister-in-law is afraid of ghosts, that's why..."
When her brother said this, Yang Ting covered her mouth and couldn't help but snicker.
After hearing the conversation between Yang Mo and Yang Ting, He Xiaojing came back to her senses. She quickly pushed Yang Mo away with a blushing face, glanced at him fiercely, and said with dignity: "Who is afraid of ghosts? You Are you afraid of ghosts?"
"I had a stomachache just now. I just wanted to lend you some support. Xiaoting, don't believe your brother's lies."
"Really? Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. How about I go to town and buy some medicine for you to take."
"It's okay. My sister-in-law is already well. Unlike some people, she doesn't even care about me."
"Ouch, I should have thrown you on the mountain just now, so that the stomachache would be cured." Yang Mo teased when he saw He Xiaojing's harsh words.
"you……"
"Okay, let's go in and eat!"
The two of them had only taken a few steps through the door when they looked back and found that Yang Ting behind them had not followed, but was just looking at Yang Mo's new car.
Seeing that she had been obsessed with looking at cars, He Xiaojing said, "Xiaoting, do you like cars?"
"Well, sister-in-law, I like this style very much."
"How about my sister-in-law buy you one after you graduate from college?"
"Really? Sister-in-law."
"Really, let's come in and eat first!"
"good."
Yang Mo was a little unhappy, and his tone suddenly became serious, and said: "Xiaoting, don't agree to others casually, study hard for me, and I will buy it for you in the future."
"Don't get involved. I promise to buy Xiaoting a car in the future. That's my business."
Seeing that Yang Mo seemed to have an opinion, He Xiaojing replied:
"But she is still young and cannot accept other people's things at will."
"What do you call other people's things? Do I..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Yang Ting quickly stopped her and said: "Oh, brother, sister-in-law, please stop quarreling and go back to the house to eat. I think the car looks good so I just took a second look at it, but I don't want to buy it."
