Chapter Ninety(1/2)
The bright sunshine has returned to us again, and the rainy weather has finally passed. There is smoke from the cooking pots in the small village, ducks and geese are floating leisurely on the surface of the pond, and cats and dogs are lying in front of the door to bask in the sun, rolling and playing happily.
The floods in the fields receded day by day, and the villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw smiles on their faces.
Walking on the road at the end of the village, I looked into the fields. Men and women were busy digging ditches for drainage in the fields. My parents were also in the crowd. Laughter kept coming. The bright red and green clothes of rural women were very conspicuous in the fields.
…
Soybeans and mature seedlings have died after being soaked in water for so many days. Everyone can only buy seeds and prepare to plant another late crop. Although the yield will be lower, it is better than no harvest at all!
Most families in the village are not very wealthy, and few people go out to work. They all make a living by cultivating a few acres of land at home. After paying for the public grain, there is not much left after the grain harvested in two seasons every year. Plus the children go to school, and the family’s
Every family has to live a tight life with all kinds of expenses.
"Tch! Why should a little girl go to school? What do you two think? You are just wasting your money!" The third aunt was working on the roadside. When she saw me coming with my schoolbag, she pouted and told my parents.
explain.
Several women around me also echoed, "That's right!"
My father’s face sank and he ignored them. In my father’s words, they were just a group of ignorant rural women!
"Hahaha, if she wants to do it, just let her do it. She is still young and I can't bear to let her work!" My mother explained with a smile.
"Hey! You're still young?" The third aunt stared, seeming very angry.
She stopped what she was doing and started to reason with my mother: Look at that so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so, aren't they younger than her? Cooking, herding sheep, what are the living people in the fields not doing? Take a look.
Your family... I'm telling you, I won't be able to find my husband's family in the future!
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of women started laughing and started praising so-and-so from that family and how they could do such-and-such. My father and mother looked very ugly and silently lowered their heads to work.
Third Aunt's bad talk means there is nothing in the village that she doesn't get involved with.
I ran up to her with a smile and asked her: "Third Aunt? Do you know why there has been no thunder or rain in the past two days, and all the trees in your house are broken?"
The third aunt was stunned for a moment. She looked at the big trees with severed heads in her house and looked at me doubtfully.
The women present at the time, including my parents, all looked at me curiously. (Actually, those tree heads were chopped off by Huang Xiaosan when he chased the dead man’s head.)
"Why? We were talking about this just now. Why did the tree break when there was no wind or rain and no insects?" The third aunt stretched her neck and waited for my answer.
"That's because you are the worst in the whole village! Retribution! Bah!" After saying this, I ran away.
By the time the third aunt came to her senses, I had already rushed to the avenue, and the cold-faced woman was riding a bicycle. I jumped on the back seat of the car, waved and shouted to the chasing third aunt: "Bye bye! Don't flash your waist."
ah!"
The third aunt was like a teapot, holding her waist and standing on the street cursing and shouting, cursing me for not getting married.
The cold-faced girl laughed at me for being naughty and pedaled her bicycle quickly. We both laughed all the way to school.
"Tell your teacher during evening self-study that it's my birthday today. Let's go to the restaurant behind the school to celebrate!" The cold-faced girl turned around and told me while pedaling.
"Ah? Today?" I had completely forgotten the cold-faced girl's birthday, but I suddenly remembered it now.
"Yes, your sister Xiaoling will come tonight too!" the cold-faced girl said happily.
"Is that woman coming again?" I blurted out.
The cold-faced woman couldn't see my expression in the back seat of the car, and I'm very sensitive to Zhang Xiaoling now.
"Does it sound like you're not welcome? Haha, are you still angry because I told her to introduce her to Teacher Shao last time? In fact, Xiaoling is quite nice..." The cold-faced woman kept talking about Zhang Xiaoling.
good.
But my mind was not on her words at all. I have to say that I was a little nervous, just because Zhang Xiaoling, who is neither a human nor a ghost, was coming again. It was like we were in the dark and she was in the dark. We still couldn't figure out what she wanted.
What to do?
But I still have to go. If she was the one who caused those two ghosts last time, she would definitely expose her.
"Happy birthday! I will definitely go tonight." While I was perfunctory with the cold-faced girl, I began to think about how to deal with Zhang Xiaoling at night.
I saw Teacher Shao in the playground in the afternoon, alone in a daze. I was a little angry, so I went over and asked him: "Where do you miss Zhang Xiaoling?"
He was startled, turned around and saw me, and smiled.
"I'm also very surprised. When I first saw this girl, I had an indescribable feeling. I felt that she was very close to me..." Teacher Shao seemed to be fascinated as he spoke.
"I really don't know you anymore!" I said coldly and left.
"Stop! What did you say?" Teacher Shao stopped me in a hurry, seeming a little angry.
"Li Lu is pregnant, how dare you like another woman here?" I was so angry. Although Li Lu was so bad, she was pregnant after all, and Teacher Shao should be the same after all.
Marry her?
Teacher Shao was stunned for a moment and then suddenly laughed, "Hey, what are you talking about? What does Li Lu's pregnancy have to do with who I like?"
"You...you are so shameless! Huh! Ignore you!" I waved my hand, turned around and ran away.
Is this the good man I have always regarded as my brother? It really disappoints me. He is similar to the devil Zhu Yutao. He has no conscience and loves everyone he sees!
The evening self-study teacher didn't come, so I told the monitor, so I put on a few charms and tightened the shiny belt. Everything was ready. Before I left the house, I patted the table and said to myself: "
Just use whatever tricks you have, I'm not afraid!"
My deskmate Zhou Dapeng happened to have nothing to do and watched every move I made. He blinked and asked me excitedly: "Are you going to fight? Can you take me with you?"
I rolled my eyes at Zhou Dapeng and said, "I'm going to catch ghosts!"
"Catch ghosts? Ah!" Zhou Dapeng was so surprised that he blocked his mouth as soon as he said it. He quickly looked around to see if anyone heard him. If anyone heard him say the word "ghost", he would be placed on probation.
'I can't even see it.
"Go away quickly! Go away! Don't make such jokes with me in the future!" Zhou Dapeng shrugged his head, his face full of depression.
After I went out into the garden, I thought about it for a while and recited it three times: I like Huang Xiaosan, I like Huang Xiaosan, I like Huang Xiaosan.
Finally, I quietly added, Huang Xiaosan is a bastard!
I held back my laughter and stood there waiting for Huang Xiaosan to show up, but after a long time I didn't see anyone. This weirdo has ignored me since he got angry last time. He is really a stingy guy. I can go by myself, and I don't need you.
Oh! Thinking of this, I turned around and left. As soon as I took a step, a lazy voice came from behind me: "Sorry!"
I was startled. Huang Xiaosan stood behind me with a cold face and a faint smile. He came up and stared into my eyes and said, "Do you need me to repeat it again?"
I quickly waved my hands and said, "No, no, haha, I don't blame you at all..."
Huang Xiaosan frowned, his face getting more and more ugly, which made me scared. My heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was not asking me to apologize to him, was he?
After I apologized sincerely, Huang Xiaosan's face looked better, and the corners of his mouth turned up proudly.
Monsters are monsters with simple minds. If I say I apologize sincerely, does that mean I apologize sincerely?
After explaining the reason to him, we set off. The restaurant was right behind the school and we could walk in a few minutes. So we walked out of the gate one after the other.
It was just getting dark when a black car was parked in front of the small restaurant. I recognized it immediately as the car belonging to Zhang Xiaoling, the car the cold-faced girl drove on her wedding day.
I asked Huang Xiaosan to wait for me outside. If anything happened, I would call him. I would also observe what was happening around here. I guessed that Zhang Xiaoling’s dead boyfriend would not be too far away from her.
Huang Xiaosan told me to be careful. He jumped up to a big tree and leaned against the tree leisurely.
When I was about to enter the room, someone patted me from behind and said, "Are you here too? What gift did you give your teacher?"
I turned around and saw that it was Li Lu. I saw that she was carrying a beautiful gift box in her hand, and Teacher Shao was following behind her.
"Oh, I'm not prepared." Although I don't like Li Lu very much, I still have to speak politely.
Li Lu smiled and said it's okay, your teacher doesn't mind either.
Teacher Shao seemed to have a bad look on his face and didn't say anything. I just didn't want to pay attention to him.
Entering the house, the cold-faced woman was drinking tea and joking with several people, including Zhang Xiaoling.
She is wearing a lake blue V-neck dress tonight, with a shiny necklace around her neck, her long hair is combed into a high ponytail, and her skin is fair. If I hadn't known about the bad things she had done, I might have thought she was simply...
It's so beautiful, but it won't happen now.
"Come in, girl, why are you so stunned that your sister Xiaoling has charmed you?" The cold-faced woman stepped forward and pulled me over while greeting Teacher Shao and Li Lu.
Zhang Xiaoling has been looking at me with that special look and expression. Her eyes have never left me since I entered the door, and the thing she looked at the longest was probably the sparkle on my wrist.
"Girl, you can sit here, next to your sister Xiaoling, so you can have a good look!" The cold-faced woman arranged for everyone to sit with a smile, and she didn't even notice that Zhang Xiaoling and I were looking at each other with anger.
Suddenly Zhang Xiaoling smiled, it was an extremely friendly smile: "Come and sit with sister, sister misses you haha!"
This perverted woman's drama started to play out again. I hated it so much, but I couldn't help but sit over. The special scent of incense from her body floated into my nose again.
"We seem to have just met, right? Are you missing me again so soon?" I sat down and said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoling was obviously taken aback. If I read it correctly, her eyelids twitched. What does this mean? Is she guilty?
She seemed to be hiding her nervousness, and quickly smiled and said: "Oh! You said that day, did you see my sister that day? My sister didn't see you on the stage. I was still looking for you in the crowd, and suddenly
It’s raining…”
Zhang Xiaoling pretended to be embarrassed.
I just kept looking into her eyes with a smile. I wanted to see how well this actor could act. I guess Zhang Xiaoling wanted to slap me to death right now!
I secretly observed the room, and there was nothing unusual or sinister. Her boyfriend was definitely not in the room.
Teacher Shao sat next to Zhang Xiaoling, Li Lu next to Teacher Shao, the cold-faced girl and the other teachers also sat down. The cold-faced girl gave a brief introduction, and everyone started chatting.
