twenty-ninth
The night was quiet except for the chirping of the crickets in the garden.
Hua Binghuan finally fell asleep amidst the irritating chirping of the cricket. Normally, he wouldn't have woken up if the bell in the guest hall had rung 10 o'clock. Even if he had woken up, he would have needed someone to wake him up before he would lazily get out of bed and slowly go downstairs to wash his face listlessly. Every holiday was like this.
Today, his eldest uncle's wooden fish finally woke him up. No one called him, so he got up by himself. He pulled open the curtains. It was dark outside. The sky was not bright yet. He did not want to sleep anymore. How could he sleep? Little Uncle was still in class. Although he was very lenient inside, he couldn't go home! His sister had already decided to leave. She felt sorry for his niece, and he couldn't bear to dissuade her! There were still three days before he had to rush to Hangzhou to complete the admission procedures for the new students. He heard that the university's system was very strict. If he was late, he would automatically give up! You leave, he leaves, I leave, leaving my mother alone at home. His mother did not look worried at all. She did not say anything to keep his sister. Instead, she encouraged him to go to school and study hard. Was his mother really carefree? Yes, and it was deeper than other women, but she suppressed it and did not want others to notice. Did Sister see through it? How could this extremely sensitive and meticulous sister not notice? However, she was also a mother herself. She had to sacrifice her maternal love for her daughter. He understood that his sister had indeed made the decision to leave for a foreign country for her daughter. Her father's death had already broken her mother's heart. With her children by her side, she could more or less comfort her lonely heart. She could also feel the liveliness, joy, and warmth of the family. If the siblings waved their hands and left, wouldn't her mother be sad and sad? He was so worried that he couldn't sleep…
He didn't light the lamp and just sat on the chair in a daze.
The sky gradually brightened. Hua Binghuan pushed open the window. The air in the room was too stuffy, and he felt hot all over. He needed to let in some of the damp and cool morning wind of early autumn. A sweet, mellow aroma came at him, and did not rouse him as it usually did. The silver osmanthus in the garden in front of his window had bloomed. He felt that this year's osmanthus flowers seemed to be thinner than in previous years. Could it be that they were as worried as he was? In fact, this year's osmanthus flowers were more energetic than in previous years. He was not interested at all. He was not as passionate as he had been in the past, chanting a poem and writing an essay. He hurriedly went downstairs, casually rubbed his face, and went out before his sister and mother came downstairs. He heard his mother calling him. He went back in and saw his mother standing by the window."Mom, what is it?"
Luo Yuzhen could tell that her son had been acting strangely these few days. Although he usually didn't talk much, he would sometimes say a few witty words to his sister and mother. She had been too quiet these past few days and woke up so early today. How could her mother not be worried? "Tiancai Liang, where are you going?" she asked gently.”
"Let's go see Uncle," Hua Binghuan said.
Hua Binghuan had a good chat with his uncle and was also very close to him. Even though the uncle was crazy, he was happy to see Binghwan. Even if he was crazy, he would hug his nephew and shout,""Hello, Nan Nan!" He spun around a few times and laughed out loud. Luo Yuzhen was relieved when she heard that. He said,"Then bring a bag of black dates for your uncle."”She went downstairs and handed the black dates to her son." Don't tease your uncle and don't tell him that your sister is leaving. You'll make him fall ill." Go, come back early."
Hua Binghuan said," That's not necessarily the case. Don't wait for me to eat. I'm going to my classmate's house for a walk."”
Hua Binghuan had replied to his mother casually. In fact, he had no intention of going anywhere. She really thought of Uncle. He pushed open the broken door of the dilapidated temple and saw Hua Shixian washing clothes. He knew that the uncle was not ill today, so he called out,"Uncle!" He closed the door behind him.
When Hua Shixian saw that his nephew had come, he was really happy. He walked over and held his nephew's hand. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said,"Heh, you really look like your father. I knew you would come today. When I burned incense yesterday, a small lotus appeared. This was a sign from Bodhisattva that someone would come to see me. Who else is here? Since your uncle has shut it down, then only you, your nephew, can do it.”
Hua Binghuan often liked to ask the uncle about Buddhist knowledge, so he asked,""What is the fragrance of the little lotus?"
"We always light three sticks of incense each time. When the three incense sticks were burned to a certain extent, they would take on twenty-four different forms, which were the twenty-four situations of good or bad luck that Bodhisattva had secretly revealed. The shape of the small lotus flower fragrance was that the middle incense stick was shorter than the two sides, indicating that someone was coming.”
Hua Binghuan gave the black dates to the uncle, wanting to help him dry his clothes. This lazy person would help Uncle with some work here. Seeing that the basin was soaked with a woman's underwear, she knew that the uncle had gone to see his crazy lover again. He gave her a bath, changed her clothes, and washed her. He walked away in disgust.
Hua Shixian seemed to be explaining to his nephew, but he also reminded himself,"She's so sick. It's all my fault. If I don't care about her, who will? Sigh." He started humming again.
"Love in life, love in death
Life and death is true love
It's fate that we can't be husband and wife
The two hearts are linked, and the person is drunk…"
Bing Huan knew that the uncle had two rooms. One of the rooms was actually a kitchen, but there was also a broken bed, old tables and chairs, bottles and jars, all piled up in a mess. The uncle had gone crazy and was sitting, eating, sleeping, and sleeping here. He was as dirty as a trash can. Uncle was very clean. Once he recovered, he would tidy up again. The opposite room was where the uncle stayed when he was recovering from his illness. It was also where he meditated. There was an old-fashioned desk by the south window and a bookcase beside it, which was filled with Buddhist scriptures. There was a wooden bed on the west wall, and a portrait of Vimalakirti on the north wall. There was an altar table against the west wall. On the table was a porcelain statue of Guanyin, and beside it was a boxwood carving of Living Buddha Ji Gong. Bowl-sized copper cups and wooden fish were placed beside the table. There was a chair beside the table. There was only an incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, not a candlestick. The floor was made of wood, and the interior was clean and tidy. There was also the fragrance of a jar. There was a piece of yellow cloth hanging on the lintel of the door. There was a talisman drawn on the cloth. The uncle himself said that sometimes (in fact, when he was ill), he would feel dizzy when he saw this yellow cloth and did not dare to go in. Every time Byung Hwan came, he would always sit inside. Only he could enter and leave this room alone. When the uncle fell ill, he would not chase him away. He would only stand outside the door and talk wildly, laughing and crying. Other than him, even his two younger brothers and nieces were not allowed to enter and leave as they pleased. Otherwise, he would scold them and say that they had dirtied his peaceful Buddhist land. Hua Binghuan went in and sat on the chair in front of the desk. He listened to the uncle humming that nameless song and felt that it was quite meaningful.
Hua Shixian hummed as he hung his lover's clothes to dry. Suddenly, he burst into tears. He hung his clothes and walked into the room. He said angrily to Hua Binghuan,""You can't trust the words of our ancestor! They only knew how to protect their dignity and did not care about the lives of their descendants! The money of the ancestors could not be spent. This was a noose around the necks of the descendants, forcing them to abide by the teachings they had set. The ancestors of the Celestial Empire did not have any good teachings. It was like putting a baby in a jar, giving you food, letting you live, but not letting you grow up. When you were old, you would still be a dwarf! Down with our ancestors!" He laughed loudly.
Hua Binghuan thought that Uncle had come up with this philosophy of life because of his tragic marriage. He felt that this was too extreme. Purely from a philosophical point of view, our ancestors also had many precious teachings. Under his mother's tutoring, he had finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics. He had his own views on these posthumous teachings, although he could not state them in an orderly manner, just as he was not very satisfied with Guo Moruo's Ten Critiques. He couldn't say " defeat our ancestors ", so he didn't tell the uncle, afraid of provoking him. Besides, the uncle was also very knowledgeable, especially the relationship between Buddhism and Chinese culture. He had quite a deep understanding. As long as he didn't go crazy, he felt that chatting with the uncle was very interesting. He was the one who understood Uncle the most in the family. If the uncle laughed, he would laugh too. Smiling in return was the best way. He asked the uncle how he knew about his uncle, and the uncle said that it was what the nun said when she came to get the Buddhist scriptures. The uncle also told him that he had already prayed for a divine lot for his little brother. Good luck would come after disaster, so there was no need to worry.
Hua Shixian went to bring a bowl of pumpkin sweet potato soup to his nephew.""This is an offering that Bodhisattva ate. It's sweet and fragrant, and it can keep you safe.”
Bing Huan looked at the steaming hot water and really smelled like a jar. It made his stomach hungry, so he held it and ate it.
"Have you gone to school?" Hua Shixian saw his nephew shake his head." Why not? -- It was the teachings of the ancestors again. His mother was still alive, so he could not leave his hometown! Your mother won't believe these old fogeys. Go, go! The ancestor did not agree and insisted on going. He had to walk his own path! You have to listen to your ancestor and don't come here. I hate it! If he didn't take down the Kong family's shop, he wouldn't be able to walk his own path and would destroy himself. Are you going or not? Tell me clearly. No, leave! If you want to go, Uncle will keep you for dinner and make you delicious food. Vegetarian chicken, duck, and ham. The taste is better and so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off.”
Hua Binghuan admired the uncle very much. Even though he didn't enter the house and occasionally met him outside, he would only laugh and laugh. He still understood this sister-in-law. When the mad monk was not mad, he was more intelligent than anyone else. No wonder his mother felt sorry for Uncle. When the mad monk's madness flared up, he would be a mad philosopher. Hua Binghuan wanted to say that he couldn't go. Uncle would chase you out with a broom if he went crazy. He really couldn't bear to part with his lonely mother. He thought for a moment and said," Uncle, I really want to eat your vegetarian chicken, duck, and ham. I lost my eyebrows the last time I ate them. Look, they're new. Do they look good?"”
Hua Shixian really looked at Hua Binghuan's eyebrows in detail and thought that they were new. He said,""It's beautiful, it's beautiful. It's exactly the same as your father's.”He laughed out loud again.
Hua Binghuan wanted to ask the uncle about the relationship between Buddhism and Chinese poetry. He thought about it and decided to leave early. Otherwise, Uncle would ask him about his college studies again. It would be difficult for him to answer, and he would also have a headache over it. "Uncle, I should go home."”
"I'm going to make vegetarian chicken, duck, and ham. I can't leave.”
"I'm not eating anymore. Didn't you say that these new eyebrows are quite good? If I eat them again and change them into a pair of bad ones, won't it be bad?”Hua Binghuan said as he walked out of the room.
"True, true." Hua Shixian sat down.
When Hua Binghuan saw the uncle sit down, he hurried out of the door and walked towards Shen Huimin's house.
Hua Binghuan saw that Shen Huimin's fishing net had been hung on the bamboo rack in front of the door. It was still wet and the door was half-closed. He thought that Huimin was at home, so he pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Shen Huilian practicing her calligraphy on the square table. When she saw him enter, she smiled sweetly and continued to write seriously with her head lowered. Hua Binghuan walked closer and saw that she was copying Liu Gongquan's calligraphy. That stroke was either rough or thin, telling her how to put down the brush and how to draw back the edge. Seeing that she still couldn't write well, he walked over and taught her how to write. He only felt Hui Lian's hand was a little hot and slightly trembling. He looked at her pale face and asked in surprise,"Are you sick? Cold? Fever?" Jian Huilian shook her head, her face turning even redder. Looking at him, she smiled gently and lowered her eyes shyly. He understood, and his heart was beating fiercely. The tighter he held her hand, the more the brush in her hand fell off. His other hand took hold of her long, thick braid of black hair, and they stared at each other. These two hearts that had been in love for a long time collided for the first time, emitting sparks of love. The sparks were in his eyes, and his eyes were shining with the starlight of love. No one knew what to say, and everyone knew what the other was saying. He smiled, a sweet smile. She smiled back, her smile so gentle. The fire of youth burned their bodies, and he sat down close to her. Her back was also leaning even tighter against his chest. In this close contact, the two hearts that had admired each other for a long time beat together. He gently kissed her face, and a warm current of happiness surged into her heart. It was like the sea hitting the rocks, sending thousands of waves flying, shining brightly under the sun. Her large, shining eyes were even more affectionate and beautiful.
Hua Binghuan said in his heart,""Why did I only just realize that you're the most beautiful and adorable person in the world!”
Shen Huilian smiled emotionally. Her shallow dimples seemed to be filled with all the warmth in the world. She looked at him and said softly,"Don't coax me."”
"Coax you?" Hua Binghuan laughed out loud and said,"Could it be that I'm also trying to coax myself?" No, no!" His mouth was close to her ear as he whispered,""These are my heartfelt words!" He kissed her tender face and softly sang the fisherman's song that Shen Huilian loved to sing.
"The river is clear and the mirror is bright.
Fisherman's daughter is lightly dressed.
No rouge, no powder,
Laughing Peony Praise Heavenly Fragrance."
Shen Huilian gently pointed at Binghuan's nose and said with a smile,""You're the worst."
Hua Binghuan also tapped her nose and said," Before she could finish the word "love", Shen Huilian covered her mouth with her hand.
The two of them laughed and teased for a while. Shen Huilian asked,"When are you leaving?"
Hua Binghuan's thoughts were stirred again as he said gloomily,""I don't want to go to school anymore."
"Are you crazy?" Shen Huilian was shocked.”
Hua Binghuan deliberately joked,"It's worth it to go crazy for you."”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's better to report early.”
"I really don't want to go," Hua Binghuan said seriously.”
Shen Huilian was anxious." What are you thinking? You coaxed me to go to school, but you're backing out!"”
"I won't hide it from you. My sister is going to look for her brother-in-law, and my uncle isn't at home. If I leave again, there will only be Mom left at home.”
"Where is my brother-in-law? How far?"
"You don't have to ask in detail. You'll find out slowly in the future.”
"What's the use of you staying? You're lazy and don't talk much. Little Uncle would come out. Didn't they say that it would take three months? How about this, you go on your way and I'll accompany my mother. Anyway, we're not fishing anymore.”
"Not fishing anymore? Is your brother really going to join the army?"
"Brother fought with someone in the teahouse. Mayor Wang was angry and was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he simply let his brother go to the town and follow Mayor Wang around all day. The mayor even said to him,"If you perform well, I'll promote you to be a cadre. If you don't perform well, I'll send you to your father's army to be a soldier.'My brother was so scared that he followed the mayor around obediently all day.”
"I just saw your fishing nets wet. Didn't you go fishing?”
"We're used to it. It's uncomfortable if we don't fish. Last night, my brother came back and said to me,'Sister, wake up early tomorrow and play a few games to satisfy your cravings.'Today was the first day of the day, so we got off the boat and played a few games before rushing back. His brother was afraid that the mayor would be angry and force him to join the army again. I think the mayor really likes my brother and wants to train him to be a cadre. He's just using the word 'soldier' to scare him into being honest.”
"This Mayor Wang is quite interesting. Hey, tell the mayor to let me work. Anyway, studying and working are all for the revolution.”
"You can say it yourself."
"You think I don't dare?"
"Dare, dare, dare! What are you afraid of? How dare you write a poem to mock the headmaster's red nose?”
"It's rare for me to be late. Who asked him to make a mountain out of a molehill and criticize me at the school meeting?”
"How dare you put a couplet on the door of a Chinese medicine shop and mock the Old Drug Worm?”
"Who asked him to insult my mother?"
"How dare you coax the hospital director to throw away the good chicken that he just bought? Who knew that you would secretly give the chicken sleeping pills while he was chatting with others.”
"Who asked him to bully my mother?"
"How dare you coax my brother into going into the water to touch the mandarin fish for you?”
"Who called-"
"Who asked my stupid brother to make such a smart friend like you!”
As the two of them spoke, they laughed until they started fighting. After laughing for a while, Shen Huilian persuaded Hua Binghuan,"You can go to Hangzhou to study in peace. Once your sister leaves, I will go and accompany your mother. I guarantee that she'll be happier every day than when you're around. Otherwise, you can come back and scold me and hit me. Is that okay?"
Hua Binghuan knew that his mother liked Hui Lian very much. As soon as she entered the house, her mother would pull him to gossip, always wanting to keep her for a while longer. If she did not come for a few days, her mother would ask her sister to call her over to play. She could accompany her mother. She was indeed better than him. However, she thought that it was her first year of school after all. If she had to accompany her mother every day, she was afraid that it would affect her homework. She said,"Let me think about it."
Shen Huilian said,"When a man does things, he must be decisive." There's no need to consider these things. Let's do it this way. I won't eat your mother.”
Hua Binghuan didn't want to say more and just smiled. He said,"Alas, what good fish did I catch today? My stomach is already empty."”
Shen Huilian said as she went to the kitchen. "There are a few black carp head fish, most of them are about three catties, there are also two mandarin fish, and the others are carp and pomfret! In the afternoon, when my brother doesn't come back for lunch, we'll kill a black carp head, stir-fry fish slices, and a stewed Chinese perch. Leave two black carp and one mandarin fish. Take them and give them to your good mother and sister at night.”
While Shen Huilian was cooking, Binghuan was reading in her room.
Just as the food was ready, Shen Huimin came back.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for lunch?" Shen Huilian asked. He must have snuck back when the mayor wasn't paying attention. The mayor said that you're not allowed to eat when you sneak back.”
"Sneak back? Do I dare? The mayor went to the county for a meeting. It's a meeting for all the officials above the mayor level. Is there a seat for me?”As Shen Huimin spoke, he saw Hua Binghuan walking out of his sister's room. He smiled at his sister." No wonder he used the mayor to scare me. He can't wait for me to leave." Yo, you even used the fish I caught as a favor. I say, sister, you can't treat me without telling your brother.”
Shen Huilian blushed.
"My mother wants to eat lake crabs, so I came to look for you. I've been here for a long time, but I haven't even seen a shadow. Who knows where you deliberately hid?”Hua Binghuan said deliberately.
Shen Huilian wanted to laugh but quickly covered her mouth.
"How is it hiding? The mayor has been holding onto me for the past few days. -- He hadn't gone to touch crabs these few days. You sit down, I'll go now. I'll definitely be able to touch one or two catties and send it to my good mother. She has never asked me for fish and crabs before.”As he spoke, he took the fish basket and was about to go out.
Shen Huilian quickly pulled Huimin back and said,""My silly brother only knows how to bully your sister. She's coaxing you, but you're using a chicken feather as an arrow.”
Shen Huimin looked at Binghuan and said,""Are you really coaxing me?"
Hua Binghuan held back his laughter and said,"I'm just letting you see who your sister is helping."”
Shen Huimin put down the fish basket and pulled Binghuan to sit down. He smiled at Hui Lian and said,""Who knows who she's on her side.”He picked up the bottle and poured wine for Bing Huan and himself. Seeing that his sister wanted to eat, he said," Don't be in a hurry to eat. Go get a wine cup. It's rare to have a sip." He stood up first and went to get a wine cup. He poured a cup for Hui Lian as well. Shen Huimin finished a cup of wine and took out a piece of paper from his bag. He pointed to a couplet written on it and said,"
"Tortoiseshell, paper mulberry, white-headed white-haired,
The old worm with the white ginseng."
Huimin saw that after Bing Huan looked at it, he was still smiling smugly and said,"Why did you write this couplet and paste it on the door of Weng Zitang's pharmacy? He's going to the mayor to complain about you, saying you've slandered and cursed him.”
Bing Huan smiled and said," Let him go. I can't wait for the mayor to come and summon me. Everyone, talk sense to each other." Weng Zitang can slander my mother, but I can't insult him!”
"What did the mayor say?" Shen Huilian asked her brother.”
Shen Huimin said," I bumped into it on the way. The mayor was busy with other things. He put the paper into his bag and said,'Let me take a look before I deal with it.' Then he left. When he returned to the town, the mayor took it out and looked at it. He couldn't see anything slanderous. However, He Wenshu could tell and analyzed it for the mayor. It was said that 'white arsenic',' angelical','turtle board',' Chu fruit 'and' white-haired 'were the five Chinese medicines.' Yao Lao Chong 'was Weng Zitang's nickname, and' white-haired 'referred to Weng Zitang. He deliberately wrote the word' wood 'next to the word' wood 'very small, so that people could see the word' person 'first. This sentence was read as' turtle board','real white-haired' scolded Weng Zitang for being a turtle, so the second line was 'Angelica medicine old worm eats arsenic'. The mayor and the others laughed when they heard that. The mayor thinks you're cursing others for no reason and wants the clerk to come and criticize you.”
"If that's what I want, why didn't you come and find me?”
"I knew you wouldn't be afraid. Since you dared to use the big red paper to paste it on his door, it was a deliberate provocation. I was also angry at this Old Drug Insect, so I stopped He Wenshu. He told the mayor that he, Weng Zitang, had called Hua Binghuan's mother a slut in front of everyone in the teahouse for no reason. As his son, he was naturally angry. Who would want their mother to be slandered? June's debt would be repaid quickly. What was wrong with Hua Binghuan putting up this couplet? It was him, Weng Zitang, who had moved the stone and pressed the foot on his own foot. It was clearly Weng Zitang who had complained first. " The secretary thought it was right, so he didn't look for you." He hid the fact that the mayor had criticized him for sheltering his friend.
"What a pity, what a pity! Why don't you let me take this opportunity to meet the mayor? I'll let you delete this article in the middle.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Huimin was afraid that the mayor would look for him again in the afternoon after the morning meeting. She wanted Bing Huan to drink by himself. He took Hui Lian's bowl of cold rice and hurriedly ate it before leaving.
Bing Huan was in a bad mood, unlike the past when he put down his wine cup when Huimin did. Today, he continued drinking. Hui Lian usually didn't drink, but because she was happy today, there were only the two of them left. Her interest was piqued, so she started to drink with Bing Huan. They had eaten together quite often, but this was the first time they had eaten together.
The two of them drank and laughed, and Binghuan's mood improved. Hui Lian's fair and tender face gradually turned red, like peach blossoms in March, bright and cute, and she clinked her glasses more and more frequently. A thousand cups of wine were few when one met a bosom friend. Bing Huan usually heard Huimin say that Hui Lian's alcohol tolerance was very good. Today, he felt that he was sixty to seventy percent drunk, but seeing Hui Lian as if nothing had happened, he loved this beauty even more.
Hui Lian went to the room and took out two thick diary and two pens. She placed them in front of Bing Huan. When Bing Huan saw that they were newly bought, he said,"It's for me, right?"
"Your appetite is not small.”
Bing Huan pulled Hui Lian to sit beside him and took Hui Lian's wine cup. He filled it up and clinked glasses with Hui Lian, saying,"Thank you for your gift!" After finishing the cup of wine, he looked at Hui Lian and deliberately asked,""Diary, diary, I have to write it down every day. What do you want me to write down?”
"I want to ask you. How would I know what you want to remember?”
"You don't want me to remember every day that I miss you, do you?"-- You don't have to pretend to be shy anymore. From now on, only your notebook will remember me, and my notebook will remember you.”
"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Huilian said seriously."I'm not going to remember all this for you. When you study, you have to study seriously and not let your imagination run wild. Otherwise, it will affect your studies. I want you to remember some things about your studies. Let's see what you're thinking.”
Bing Huan smiled and didn't say anything else. He picked up his wine glass and was about to drink.
Shen Huilian quickly held his hand and dissuaded him."You drank too much today. Stop drinking. You're talking nonsense when you're drunk. Alright? Put it down, it will hurt your body."
Bing Huan begged,"The wine is already in my mouth, can I put it down?" Li Bai once said,'You must drink three hundred cups at a time.' I only drank a few cups? Good sister, let me drink this cup. I'll be more energetic when I'm drunk. Li Taibai was drunk and wrote a book about He Man, and the "Three Styles of Qing Ping" that praised Yang Guifei was also a masterpiece after being drunk. Monk Huai Su was drunk and wrote in cursive script, which was full of dragon and phoenix dance, which made him look even more charming. There are many such stories in history, and I've told you many of them. Have you forgotten all of them? If you don't believe me, let me drink this cup of wine and write a poem for you to see if it's nonsense.”
Shen Huilian also pitied him. Seeing that he was begging, she put down her hand."Then let's drink."
Hua Binghuan nodded and gulped down the entire glass of wine."Good wine, good wine! Watch me-write a poem-for you!" He stood up, staggering; he was drunk, he paced around the table, staggering. Hui Lian quickly stood up to help him up. He waved his hand." You don't have to help me. I'm still energetic."”He walked drunkenly as he pondered. He looked at Hui Lian with his hazy drunk eyes and chuckled. A fire of passion ignited in his heart. He was full of inspiration. He sat down, took a diary, and took out a pen. He wrote down the poem in his heart.
I'm willing...
To the goddess in my heart
You are a delicate flower
I wish to be the sunshine of spring
Make you look even more brilliant and fragrant
Shining the brilliance of your youth
You are a vigorous white poplar
I wish it was the rain and dew of spring
Make you more luxuriant
Let people hold their heads high and praise
You are a vigorous phoenix
I wish to be the broad blue sky
Let you soar freely
Spreading your beautiful wings
You are a beautiful vine
I wish to be a tall pine
Let you walk around the solid branches
Stretching and growing in peace
You are so gentle and virtuous
I am also sincere and strong
Let's compose an eternal song
Praise the true love of mankind
Hold out your tender hand
Let's hold on tight
Stepping on the path of life covered with flowers
Singing this blissful love song, forever…
After Hua Binghuan finished writing, he placed the pen on the diary and stood up. He smiled and said,"This is definitely not a drunken conversation!”He staggered into Hui Lian's room and fell onto the bed. Not long after, he fell asleep.
Hui Lian held the diary and read it over and over again. Her heart was boiling with heat. She seemed to have stepped into the palace of his heart step by step. It was so vast. The bright sunshine was so warm, and the rotten flowers were so warm…The love of first love was really a cup of strong wine. She was intoxicated and pressed the diary tightly against her face. It was as if every word in the poem was his passionate mouth, kissing her affectionately, kissing her…
Shen Huilian gently walked into the room and sat down beside him, looking at him tenderly. He's asleep, and he's smiling. He's smiling so sweetly, so comfortably…She called out softly in her heart,"" Brother Binghuan!..." Just this soft call condensed the sincere affection of a young girl…She was so excited that she cried, and her tears were sweeter than honey. She smiled with tears in her eyes. It was as if he had tasted the sweet fruit of happiness. She had always thought that he was just caring and loving her like a brother. She would never have thought that he would give his true heart to her, a fisherman's girl. In this D City, the people who were fishing among the three religions and nine streams were not even ranked in the upper class. No one looked down on them. Even now, there were still people humming that song: " Barefoot woman sells clam meat. She's been reduced to a sorry state the moment she's born. Even if she's beautiful, no one wants her. She hides at the end of the boat and cries all day." It was precisely this Hua Binghuan who fell in love with her so deeply and sincerely. He taught her to read, write, and compose poems. This person who looked down on everyone was so gentle to her…She reached out her hot hand and gently held his hand, as if they were tightly glued together…
Shen Huilian was afraid of waking Hua Binghuan up, so she tiptoed out of the room. She was afraid that he would wake up thirsty, so she made him a cup of thick black tea. She picked up the newly made shirt and placed the diary with the poem on it. She carefully wrapped it up tightly, as if afraid that a word would fly away. She also boldly wrote these words in the diary that she had given him.
"I have no rich words,
I can't find any flattering language,
If only my heart were as pure as a daffodil,
Forever in your sincere heart."
She closed the diary and wrapped it in a piece of white paper.
Hua Binghuan only woke up at four o'clock. His mouth was bitter and dry. After drinking the warm tea that Hui Lian had given him, he remembered his mother's instructions when he left in the morning. He took the pen and diary that Hui Lian had given him and was about to leave.
Shen Huilian asked Binghuan to bring back the remaining carp and mandarin fish.
"You're eating and taking.”After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Hui Lian knew that Bing Huan was lazy and did not force him. She wanted to send it herself, but she was too embarrassed to do so with Binghuan. Anyway, her brother loved to go to the Hua family. She would send it to him when he came back.
Bing Huan was half happy and half worried, only thinking about walking with his head lowered. Passing by the entrance of the nature photography shop, Xia Shujuan happened to be carrying a small bucket out to the river port to kill the fish in the bucket. Binghuan's leg happened to hit the bucket, splashing water all over his pants. The fish in the bucket was shocked, and the water droplets splashed onto Xia Shujuan's body and face. Xia Shujuan was also shocked and complained to Binghuan,"You didn't bring your eyes!"
Hua Binghuan was already complaining in frustration, so he replied,"I didn't bring my glasses, but you must have! My pants are also gluttonous. Do I want to eat your fish soup?”
Xia Shujuan was both angry and amused. She said,"Madman!"
"If I run into you, even if I'm not a lunatic, I'll be forced to become one!”
"What is it? Did I force you to become a lunatic?"
Hua Binghuan looked at the signboard in front of her house and only read the name of the shop." Nature, Nature!"
Xia Shujuan thought that she had forced her to say 'naturally' and became even angrier. She said,"What did I force?"
Hua Binghuan still looked at the signboard and said,""'Photo','Photo'."
Xia Shujuan thought that she was saying that she 'forced' him to take a photo, so she said,""I forced you to take photos? Bullsh * t! I don't care if you don't take photos for the rest of your life! Who wants your stinking money!"
Hua Binghuan smiled and said,"Are you sick?" I'm reading the sign of this 'Nature Photoshop'. If you don't let me read it, I'll remove this signboard. You want to hang it up, but you don't allow anyone to read it. Are you crazy?”
The people who heard it laughed.
"You're the crazy one!" Xia Shujuan said, embarrassed and annoyed.”
Hua Binghuan still looked at the signboard and said,"Lunatic, lunatic,'natural',' natural'! Ha, ha, ha!"
Xia Xinfa heard his daughter arguing with someone and rushed out. When he saw that his daughter was arguing with Luo Yuzhen's son, he quickly went up to pull his daughter.
As Xia Shujuan followed her father into the shop, she scolded,"Lunatic! Lunatic!"
Hua Binghuan didn't retort and left.
The person who heard it walked into the photo studio and told her what he had heard and seen. Xia Xinfa laughed out loud after hearing this.
Xia Shujuan complained to her father,"We've been scolded, and you're still happy!"”
Xia Xin laughed and said," You're angry. Why don't you take a look at who it is? He's the son of the Hua family, Hua Binghuan. Even the Drug Lord, Worm Weng Zitang, made him stick that mocking couplet on his door. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still couldn't do anything to him." I won't pull you anymore. I don't know when he will put up a couplet on our door to mock you again. Besides, you wet his pants. Isn't that wrong? Let's forget about this matter. Why are you still angry?”She envied Luo Yuzhen for having such a humorous son who could make others feel helpless.
Hua Binghuan returned home and saw Aunt Chunhua talking to his mother. From her words, she could tell that Chunhua Auntie was angry with Zhou Peiying and complained that Zhou Peiying was too ruthless. You can't judge a book by its cover. Once Shijie entered the class, he didn't even want to visit him. He tried to persuade him a few times, but he still ignored him. He actually went to the province to hold a literature and art work conference. So she was a snobbish beauty! Hua Binghuan didn't think much of it. He thought that everyone had their own aspirations. Since she wanted to improve, she would naturally break up with her uncle without understanding the real situation. There was no need to blame her. Since the adults were talking, and his mother was smiling and not angry, why did he have to say anything? She wanted to go upstairs to change her pants, but Granny Shen saw her and made a fuss,"Aiya, Binghuan, why did you accidentally fall into the river? His pants were so wet. He should have come back to change. He was going to get sick!”
This alarmed Luo Yuzhen. She came over to look at Binghuan's pants and shoes and asked anxiously what was going on. Bing Huan only said that he had accidentally knocked into someone else's bucket and got wet. His mother asked him seriously where he had been all day, not even coming back for lunch. Bing Huan said that he would go to Uncle's place first. Seeing that Uncle was not sick, they chatted for a while more before going to Shen Huimin's house to have a meal. He did not go anywhere else. Luo Yuzhen was relieved. Seeing that his son was holding something wrapped in paper, he casually asked,"What book did Uncle show you this time?”
"It's nothing. Huilian knew that I was going to school, so she gave me a diary and a pen.”Bing Huan said as he showed the notebook and pen to his mother.
Luo Yuzhen saw that it was a "Guan Leming" gold pen. She thought that this girl was very frugal, but she was generous. She was not stingy at all. She secretly admired her. He opened the paper again and saw that it was an exquisitely decorated hardcover diary. He casually opened it and happened to flip to the page where Hui Lian wrote the poem. After taking a closer look, he smiled in satisfaction. Bing Huan vaguely saw the words in the diary and was secretly shocked. He quickly went over to take a closer look. When she saw the poem, her heart thumped and her face turned red. Luo Yuzhen closed the diary and said emotionally,""It's indeed a clean narcissus!" She looked at Binghuan." You should give her some gifts too. It's her first year at school."”
Bing Huan snatched the diary and said,"I don't have money."”He ran straight upstairs to his room and almost knocked down Grandma Shen who was bringing him upstairs to get a change of pants.
Grandma Shen was shocked and even laughed,""You're about to get married, yet you're still so rough!”
Bing Huan was so embarrassed that his face turned even redder."I'm not getting married."
Granny Shen said,"Young men are all like this. They say no, but their hearts are itching." Quickly change into these pants. Don't get sick.”
Bing Huan also knew that he couldn't persuade Granny Shen, so he went into the room to change into clean pants. He gave the wet pants to Granny Shen and closed the door. He hurriedly opened the diary and read Hui Lian's poem over and over again. The simple and clear language and vivid metaphor poured her sincere and honest feelings. Thinking of his mother's evaluation of Hui Lian just now, he was really ecstatic. He leaned against the window, and the osmanthus tree under the window seemed to be looking up at him. The green leaves were adorned with yellow osmanthus flowers, like Hui Lian's small mouth, smiling warmly at him.
The room was filled with the strong fragrance of osmanthus. The universe was filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus. His mind was in this sweet and fragrant world. He had read " First Love " and " The Troubles of Young Viktor ". He felt that he was happier than the protagonist in the book. He was the happiest person in the world!
Shen Huimin brought the fish over. When he saw that Binghuan and the others had not eaten dinner, he happily washed the fish and was about to leave. Luo Yuzhen refused to stay. He said that his sister had already cooked and was waiting for him to go back. She had to go to the town for a meeting after dinner. Luo Yuzhen didn't force her, only saying that she wanted Hui Lian to come tomorrow and had something to discuss with her. Before Huimin left, he said to Bing Huan,"Come over tomorrow morning. I went to get crabs early in the morning and waited for you to come and get them."-- What did the good mother want to discuss with her sister?”
Hua Binghuan guessed that his mother had seen the poem and wanted to give Huilian something. He was too embarrassed to say it, so he only said,"It's still Huilian who wants to play. Mommy doesn't want to eat crabs, so don't go around eating them. I was just coaxing you, but I was serious. You're too practical. No wonder your sister sometimes calls you Silly Brother.”
"The pocket crab was the girl's idea, you're the fool.”Shen Huimin said and left.
During dinner, Song Jingzhong and Jiang Shanshan also came. They drank and talked about the opening of the theater. Binghuan was not interested. After dinner, he went upstairs alone. He did not light the lamp and leaned on the bed, thinking about what his mother had said to Huimin. What does Mom want to discuss? If the matter of this poem was exposed, Hui Lian would be so embarrassed that she would cry. He blamed himself for being too careless and not looking at the diary first. No, Mom is very cultured. Then would her mother make this matter clear? Mom also loved Huilian very much. After all, they were both still young. No, Mother wanted them both to make great progress in their studies; Then…he heard that his sister had already gone upstairs and entered the room. Who cares? His mother would not do anything to embarrass him. It was better to talk to his sister first. She was leaving the day after tomorrow. When would he have such an opportunity again?
Binghuan took the toy he bought for his niece. He walked into his sister's room. Seeing that his sister was also sitting there with a gloomy expression, he placed the cloth bag with the toys on the table and said,"Sister, this is for little Fangfang. There really aren't any good toys, so just consider it a goose feather.”
"You really do look like an uncle. "Bingying smiled as he took out a toy from his bag. "Dolls, little cars, little clay figurines-wow, a lot! When Little Fangfang saw him, she would definitely say,'Hello, Uncle!'”She put the toy back into the bag and asked her brother to sit down on the edge of the bed. "Little brother, I asked you a few times, but you always smiled. Today, I'll ask you again, do you want big sister to leave? You have to be honest.”
Bing Huan still smiled.
Bing Ying urged," I'm asking you a question. If it's true, then it's true. If it's not true, then it's not true. What other difficulties do you have? Tell me!"”
Bing Hwan thought that he had to say it today. He said that he wanted his sister to stay, making it difficult for her. He said that he should go. Which younger brother would want his sister to go to that foreign country where it was difficult to see her again? "Sister, this is your business. Why are you asking me?" How could there be a sister in the world who asked her brother if he was willing to marry? You're already prepared. If you want to leave, then leave."
"Are you willing to let your sister go?"
"When you were looking for your brother-in-law, why didn't you ask me first if you should look for him?”
Bing Ying asked his brother to cover his mouth. He couldn't help but laugh and say,"You're a strange scholar. With one sentence, you stopped people for 100,000 miles."-- You were still young then."
"I'm not even eighteen years old yet, and I'm not even an adult yet!”
"You're already a university student."
"I'm not going."
"Why?"
"No reason." Bing Huan thought that this answer would make his sensitive sister aware and affect her decision to leave, so he quickly added,"In case you say that I'm a university student and test me with difficult questions."?”
Bing Ying had already faintly sensed it and deliberately provoked his brother with words."I know that you can't wait for your sister to leave early, but it's not good to say it out loud. I can see it from your smug smile. Not bad. He bought quite a few gifts for his niece. Thank you!"
Bing Huan was anxious and wanted to argue. He was afraid that his sister was cheating and slowly said,"Sister, you know how to read fortunes. That's right, that's what I think. Didn't you say that it would look good on you? It's embarrassing to be honest." His heart ached, and he stood up to leave.
Bing Ying hurriedly pulled him, but he couldn't hold him anymore. When he reached Bing Huan's room, he had already closed the door. She knocked on the door.
Bing Huan had already swallowed the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes and said to Bing Ying outside the room,"You've already seen through my thoughts. Why are you still knocking on the door? I'm going to read my books.”
Bing Ying was helpless. She had understood her brother's worries and returned to her room with worry.
Bing Huan heard that his sister had left and could no longer restrain himself. He threw himself on the bed and wept sadly. He really wanted to cry, but he was afraid of disturbing his sister.
He really wanted to go back to his sister's room and tell her honestly,"Sister, stay. Mom needs you, and little brother can't bear for you to leave. Write a letter and ask brother-in-law to bring little Fangfang to our house. This family is up to you. Tell brother-in-law that we will treat him well!”He laughed at himself for being too selfish.
He stopped crying; what was the use of crying? He realized that when people grew up, they had to walk their own path! He shouldn't have dragged his sister down. Mommy won't be lonely. She has him and Hui Lian. They could help their mother along their way happily. Didn't Mom get along well with Hui Lian?
Hua Binghuan walked to the window and looked up at the night sky. The autumn night sky was dim, and the stars were sparse. They were not as dense and bright as the stars on summer nights. Autumn nights will pass and summer nights will come again; The Hua Clan was deserted, but tomorrow, they would shine brightly and prosper again. Her mother was a virtuous and capable mother, and Hui Lian was the same as her sister. He could revive the Hua family. Hopefully, Little Uncle would not break up with him. With his mother steering the wheel, his uncle and nephew, and his future aunt-his uncle would never marry a silly woman-they could bring the Hua family back to glory!
He decided not to go to school. He had to work. He could not let his mother worry about him anymore. He wanted to use the salary he earned to train Hui Lian to study. Since this pure daffodil had been inserted into his heart, he should care for her, love her, and nurture her.
The sky, the earth, the universe, and the human world were filled with the rich and sweet fragrance of osmanthus…
The chirping of the crickets in the garden was so clear, sonorous, heroic, sonorous, and strong. It was like the horn of life, encouraging Hua Binghuan…
The sound of paddling could be heard on the Qingxi River again. Hua Binghuan could see Shen Huilian easily rocking the fishing boat and sailing into the rushing current…
