Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 52 First Kiss
In mid-July, the textile factory union organized employees to take turns to take vacations by the seaside, which is a routine annual welfare treatment.

The bus drove out of the urban area and drove steadily west along Huanhai Road.Although I just got off the night shift, because there are tents in the holiday camp, I can sleep well in the afternoon, but the atmosphere in the car is still very active.

Dong Xiaojun sat on the cover and played the guitar, Wang Ping held the handle with one hand and beat the beat with the other, Yu Zhiyong faced her and whistled with his index finger, the young man sang and laughed heartily.

Liu Xiaonan and Wang Aiqing sat in the back seat of the car, he didn't sing, he was listening attentively, capturing the familiar voice from the noisy atmosphere.

When he got into the car, he saw Wu Yanli and Guan Xiaoyun sitting together.The moment their eyes collided, Wu Yanli turned her head out of the window.When walking past the two of them, Guan Xiaoyun secretly kicked him hard, meaning to let him say hello to Wu Yanli.

Wu Yanli's expression looked calm, her eyes were still so pure and bright.Liu Xiaonan ignored Guan Xiaoyun's hint, walked over and sat in the seat in the back row.Here, you can look down from the heights and observe Wu Yanli's every move.

After talking with Wu's father, Liu Xiaonan went to Wang Aiqing's house that night and asked to switch teams or machines.Faced with Wang Aiqing's questioning, Liu Xiaonan told the story of his conversation with Papa Wu without any concealment.

The purpose of switching teams or machines is to satisfy Wu's father's request and not give Wu Yanli any hope.

Wang Aiqing thought for a while, and said sternly to Liu Xiaonan: "You don't understand girls. You wrote the story of me and your elder brother so thoroughly, why did you get confused when it was your turn? You want to cut off all contact and communication with her immediately. , don't you think this is a deeper harm to her?"

Liu Xiaonan was speechless.

The rural elder brother said to him: "If you really like a girl, you must first be prepared to do everything for her, including bearing the burden of humiliation, including giving her happiness, including letting go."

Wang Aiqing gave this suggestion: "Don't take this matter to heart, work as you should, and socialize as you want, will you become an enemy or a stranger from now on? Just be yourself. That's it, the rest will come naturally."

Going to work the next day, the loud mechanical noise and busy work concealed the embarrassment and unnaturalness of the two people, and they deliberately avoided each other's eyes.

Every time they met at the meeting point, they glanced at each other in a hurry, and their eyes separated immediately.It seems that there is nothing to communicate with, as if they have never known each other.After passing by, he secretly watched the other person's back.

It wasn't until before get off work that Wu Yanli stopped Liu Xiaonan, pressed her ear, and said with a little confidence: "No matter what my dad told you, I just want you to say something, and I can wait for you."

What right do I have to let her wait and waste other people's great youth?How could she cause conflicts with her parents because of her own existence?A twisted melon is not sweet!
Liu Xiaonan said decisively: "I have nothing, so I can't give you a word."

The next day, Wu Yanli and Wang Aiqing proposed to switch teams because she wanted to learn more about other weaving techniques.Wang Aiqing readily agreed, and discussed with Zhang Shiyao, the section chief, to transfer Wu Yanli to another factory's team and let Guan Xiaoyun take over her machine.

The meeting point where there were countless walking routes disappeared, leaving only a blank space.From working separately to today, this is the first time we meet, and we are like passers-by.

At this moment, Liu Xiaonan didn't catch a bit of her usual happy voice, and her expression was a little downcast.

Wang Aiqing turned to Liu Xiaonan and said, "Going to the beach for vacation is an important activity of the factory union every year, and the factory youth league committee will also participate in organizing some activities. Gu Yu may come, do you want to meet her?"

Liu Xiaonan shook her head lightly.

Wang Aiqing asked with some distress: "I still can't let go?"

Liu Xiaonan remained silent.

Wang Aiqing patted the back of his hand and said: "It will always pass. How about meeting Gu Yu? I will look for her for you. You can tell her about your friendship when you were young, and you will feel better."

Liu Xiaonan said stubbornly: "I don't want to see her. As I said, it is only possible to meet when the shoulders are at the same level. This is what she thought back then."

He has handed over the manuscript of "Jingjunji" to Mr. Zhao Guangzhi, which has been affirmed and appreciated by Mr. Zhao.He thought that it would not be too late to meet Gu Yu again after "Congjun Ji" was published.

Wang Aiqing smiled and said: "Well, I will not participate in the game between you. It's just that I didn't expect that you will not be able to pull back nine bulls if you are stubborn. You are more stubborn than your elder brother. Your elder brother knows how to look back One glance. But it's also fun and endearing."

Liu Xiaonan laughed unnaturally.

After driving for more than an hour, the bus suddenly saw a mountain in front of it.Before entering the tunnel, the bus turned left and went down a gentle slope, sticking to a mountain ridge.In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the vacation camp, a small fishing village called Longwangtang.

After getting off the car, we will allocate tents for camping and wait for lunch.Taking advantage of this time, Liu Xiaonan walked around and watched the surrounding environment.

The campsite is built on a cliff cliff that inserts into the sea along the mountain. The top is flat and spacious, with patches of pine and black locust trees growing. There is a small island on the sea directly in front of the cliff, with a small island growing on the top. Surrounded by miscellaneous forests, it seems uninhabited and uninhabitable; on the left is a stretch of coastline, with dozens of small fishing villages scattered at the foot of the mountain, and a few small fishing boats swaying by the sea.

Standing on the rocky cliff and looking to the right, you can see another rolling hill, which is not far away.When I ran to the right edge of the rocky cliff, I saw a strange scene: two mountains surrounded a narrow bay, and the bay extended into the mountains in an S-shape, gradually widening, and stretches of reeds could be seen as far as the eye could see. , at the end seems to be a small reservoir.

The bay is like a long intoxicated dragon, resting quietly among the mountains. This sleep lasts for tens of millions of years-this is probably the origin of Longwangtang.The sea is slightly blue, the wind is calm, the seabirds are dancing, the mountains are silent, the trees are lush, the flowers are blooming, and there are few people, just like a fairyland on earth.

At this moment, Liu Xiaonan would never have imagined that he and this Dragon King Tang would form an indissoluble bond for the rest of their lives.

After lunch, Dong Xiaojun took Liu Xiaonan to dive into the sea.Along a trail at the front of the cliff, you can zigzag down to the bottom of the cliff. Boulders are scattered under the cliff, and the beach is covered with large and small pebbles.The two took off their clothes, put on swimming shorts and diving goggles, and swam towards the island.

It looks very close from the sea level, but they are actually far away. Liu Xiaonan is not sure that he will be able to swim to the small island.Dong Xiaojun dived into the water, came up after a while, and excitedly said to Liu Xiaonan: "There are goods down there, but unfortunately the water is too deep. I can't hold my breath for a short time, so I can't dive to the bottom. It's up to you."

Liu Xiaonan put on her diving goggles, took a deep breath, plunged into the sea one by one, and jumped up again, looking around in horror.

I used to catch fish and crabs in the river, and when I dived into the river, I always closed my eyes and felt everything under the water with only my two hands.The moment I dived into the sea wearing diving goggles, my eyes suddenly opened up, as if entering a silent and strange world.

The reefs covered with seagrass are like forest-covered mountains, undulating continuously; the seaweeds sway gently, as if being blown by a silent breeze; Swimming freely, he was not panicked by the intrusion of his "monster". Pedestrians were still swimming in front of his eyes like walking.

But he was frightened, feeling like he was plunged into an unknown world, and it was like in the familiar world, he changed from a human to a fish or a bird.

Gathering his mind, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.With the sea level as the adjacent interface, two different worlds are separated, one world is the reflection of the other world, magically similar yet fundamentally different.

The most intuitive feeling is that if you are a person in this world, you will become a fish when you enter another world; if you are a fish in this world, you will become a person when you enter another world.

From then on, Liu Xiaonan fell in love with Qianhai.

After distinguishing the boundary between the two worlds, Liu Xiaonan dived into the bottom of the sea again.At a glance, he saw a crab with the mouth of a bowl hiding in the crevice at the bottom of the reef. He swam over and tried to catch the big crab.

The crab crawled quickly along the bottom of the reef, nimbly and vigilantly avoiding the attack of his big monster.

The breath gradually tightened, the lungs swelled to the limit, and the brain was a little lack of oxygen.At this time, if you float up to take a breath, you will lose this rare big crab.

Liu Xiaonan held his breath, accelerated his dive speed, and finally pushed the big crab into a corner.Stretch out your hands to grab it, and kick your feet towards the bottom of the sea, and it shoots out of the sea like an arrow.

Breathing heavily, the pressure on the lungs was finally relieved, but the feeling in the hand was very wrong.How can a crab with a big mouth be held in the palm of one hand?Pushing the diving goggles to the forehead, looking at the little crab in his hand, he suddenly realized: the diving goggles have the function of magnifying underwater.

For a small crab, I almost suffocated my lungs.Liu Xiaonan handed the little crab to Dong Xiaojun who was standing on a protruding reef. Anyway, this was his first harvest from diving into the sea for the first time.

Familiar with the environment and characteristics of the seabed, Liu Xiaonan used the skills he had cultivated since he was a child. Sea cucumbers, sea urchins, conch shells, and crabs were caught by him one by one, and the net bag in Dong Xiaojun's hands was gradually full.

Liu Xiaonan told Dong Xiaojun that there are still oysters on the reef, which cannot be pried off without tools.Dong Xiaojun said, go ashore.

The two swam back to the shore, found a large bluestone slab, lifted it up and placed it on two pebbles, found dead branches and pieces of wood along the seashore, and lit a fire under the bluestone slab.

The bluestone board is heated up, put sea urchins, conchs and crabs, and after a while, a fresh and fragrant smell comes out.Open the belly of the sea cucumber, clean out the intestines and eat it raw, but it has no taste.

When I came down, I brought a few bottles of beer and threw them in the sea water to cool them down.Drinking beer, eating raw seafood, don't have a taste.

Dong Xiaojun drank a bottle of beer, climbed up the cliff, and brought a screwdriver when he came back.He wanted to call the team down to eat seafood, but everyone was sleeping, so he asked Liu Xiaonan to work harder, go to the sea again, catch more seafood, and have a dinner for the team in the evening.

Liu Xiaonan and Dong Xiaojun went down to the sea twice, and used a screwdriver to pry off many palm-sized oysters, enough for the colleagues in the team to roast and eat.

Sea cucumbers claim to be the most nutritious, but they have no taste.Oysters are a popular food, baked on a hot bluestone board until the shells open, the sea oyster meat is extremely tender.It can be seen that everything has its two sides.

The beach in the evening is breezy, the afterglow of the setting sun jumps on the sea, and the waves gently push the coast, making a rhythmic rhythm, clear and cheerful.

The seafood on the bluestone board was cooked, but Liu Xiaonan couldn't hold on anymore.After the night shift, he was sleepy and tired. He spent the whole afternoon diving in the sea, which consumed a lot of energy. He just wanted to go back to sleep in the tent.

Dong Xiaojun stayed behind to guard the seafood, while Liu Xiaonan climbed up the cliff, found Wang Aiqing, and asked her to take everyone down to eat seafood.Seeing Guan Xiaoyun, she quietly asked her to lead her master to the seaside as well.Guan Xiaoyun said that he still has a conscience, Liu Xiaonan didn't care about it with Guan Xiaoyun, so he got into the tent and fell asleep.

After sleeping soundly, Liu Xiaonan was woken up by the noise outside.When I stepped out of the tent, I saw that the campsite was brightly lit, and a singing competition with workshops as units was being held.

He stood in the shadows outside the crowd, observing the organizers, but he couldn't find the shape he remembered.Not to mention lost, but feeling uninterested, he sat on the edge of the rocky cliff away from the crowd, looking at the sea aimlessly.

Phosphorous light shone on the dark sea, and it was as quiet as a huge black mirror.The intermittent sound of whimpering waves could be faintly heard from under the cliff. In such a quiet night, it seemed as if someone was plucking the heartstrings.

Someone came cautiously, with dignified and slow footsteps, and stopped behind Liu Xiaonan.With the familiar breath, he knew who it was, stood up and turned around, and he saw a pair of star-like bright eyes.

Wu Yanli asked softly, "Are you awake?"

Liu Xiaonan hummed and said, "It's a bit hot in the tent, come here to enjoy the sea breeze."

Wu Yanli said sadly: "I was transferred from the team. I didn't intend to hide from you. It was really painful to see you. I can't go against my parents' wishes. It will be better if I don't see you. Don't think about it. Don't hate me." I, don't hate my parents."

Liu Xiaonan said calmly: "No, I can understand."

"My family introduced someone to me, a fitter from an electromechanical installation company. I have met him several times, and he is a down-to-earth person. He has a house at home and his financial conditions are quite good."

"pretty good."

"Let me kiss you!" Before Liu Xiaonan could react, Wu Yanli tiptoed and kissed Liu Xiaonan's lips lightly, and said sadly, "I can't kiss you anymore, I can only look at you from afar." .”

Liu Xiaonan was trembling all over, her blood was coagulated, her limbs were stiff, her brain was numb, and she couldn't make any reaction.A vigorous beating heart seems to fall from this high rocky cliff into the dark sea.

"It's my first time." The deer-like figure disappeared into the dark forest, and the soft voice echoed like the sound of waves.
