Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 35

Shen Heying and Zhang Xiuhong went out to eat snails, Zhang Xiaofeng was called out to play by a few half-children in the village, Zhang Xiuqing was at home alone, she had just finished washing her clothes, and was about to go out, and went to the edge of the deserted beach with the little girls in the village Picking wild mint, mung beans and sage seeds, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a man walked in first: "Xiuqing, you have a classmate looking for you, I brought him here."

Seeing the stranger enter the yard, Zhang Xiuqing's little white dog immediately raised its tail and barked "Wow".

Zhang Xiuqing raised her head and saw a face that looked handsome to outsiders but was extremely ugly to her. She couldn't believe her eyes.

In her memory, Shen Anlin was a proud person who looked down on country people from the bottom of his heart.In his previous life, he had visited Zhang's house three times. The first time he came to discuss matters related to marriage; His new clothes were soiled during the commotion, Shen Anlin turned his face on the spot and got very angry; the third time was to accompany the bride back home, he was very reluctant at that time, Zhang Xiuqing said good things for a long time before he reluctantly agreed After coming down, not long after arriving at Zhang's house, his habit of looking down on country people flared up again. Regardless of Zhang Xiuqing's efforts to keep him, he just left a table of guests and walked away. He didn't care whether she was uncomfortable or not, and he didn't save face for her parents.

In fact, Zhang Xiuqing had already regretted it at that time, but there is no medicine for regret in this world to buy.You must know that divorce in the 80s was a very embarrassing thing. It would cause parents to be unable to hold up their heads in the village, and it would also cause brothers to be unable to marry their mother-in-law. Therefore, many women will grit their teeth even if they are beaten every day at their in-laws’ house and their lives are not as good as pigs and dogs. Hold on.

In Zhang Xiuqing's eyes, the Shen family is a dragon's den and a tiger's den, and in Shen Anlin's eyes, the Zhang family is probably a dragon's den and a tiger's den. "Poor mountains and bad waters, shrews make trouble for the people", this is Shen Anlin's deep-rooted view of the countryside and farmers.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Jiaxiu asked angrily, her face was ugly, her tone was so blunt that she almost cursed.

Shen Anlin pushed the bicycle into the yard and found that Zhang Xiuqing's house was cleaner than he imagined. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a familiar tone: "Pan Liyan was admitted to XX University in the provincial capital, do you know? Her family is very happy , decided to hold a teacher appreciation banquet. She didn't know where your home was, but she heard that we are in the same town, so she sent the invitation to me, and asked me to hand it over to you."

After all, it was first love, after all, after having liked it for so long, how could Shen Anlin be willing to break up like this?It happened that Pan Liyan was about to hold a teacher appreciation banquet, so he took the opportunity of sending invitations and ran to the countryside, hoping to win back Zhang Xiuqing's heart by virtue of his perfect tongue.

It is Pan Liyan's right to send invitations or not, but it is her own right to participate. Zhang Xiuqing, like her previous life, did not want to participate, but there is no need to tell Shen Anlin these words, so she put on a straight face and said coldly: "Then Thank you so much, you can go back after you give me the invitation. I have something to do today, and I have to go out soon!"

Shen Anlin pretended not to hear, turned around, and thanked the man who led the way, with a modest attitude and a pleasant smile: "Uncle, thank you very much, if you hadn't brought me here, I don't know when I would have found it. "

It was the first time for Zhang Xiuqing to see that Shen Anlin, who always puts face more important than anything else, would be so shameless, with injuries on his face, but he acted as if nothing had happened, condescending, and came to her home.What was even more frightening was that he even bowed and bowed to the countryman without caring about his status as a city man.Zhang Xiuqing deeply doubted whether Shen Anlin was beaten into a fool by Shao Han, but in just one night, it was like a different person, almost unrecognizable.

"No thanks, you should!" The man who led the way put his hands in his pockets, touched the two yuan toll, and the smile on his face grew even wider.He could also see that Zhang Xiuqing hated her male classmate, but based on the principle of "take other people's money and do things for others", he didn't care if Zhang Xiuqing was happy?Then he said in the tone of an elder admonishing a younger generation: "Xiuqing, it's not that Uncle said yes, your classmates rushed all the way from the city to the countryside, you have to treat them to drink and catch their breath, you can't be a man." You can't be so rude!"

Zhang Xiuqing glanced at this person with a half-smile, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't know this classmate from the city well. I'm a girl, so it's not convenient to invite him in. Uncle, you are always hospitable. Why don't you invite him to your house?"

The face of the man leading the way suddenly turned eggplant-colored, and he laughed a few times mockingly: "You young people really know how to joke, haha... I have something at home, so I won't accompany you." Wangjia said politely: "Young man, Uncle's house is in the west of the village, and there is a big willow tree in front of the door. If you don't mind, come and sit down at Uncle's house and have a cup of tea later!"

Shen Anlin had a rare good temper today, and agreed with a smile. As for whether the promise will be honored, that is another matter.

As soon as the man who led the way left, Zhang Xiuqing immediately turned his face: "You are not welcome in my family, if you want to lose face, go away!"

"Xiuqing, I beg you to forgive me, I really regret it..." Shen Anlin suppressed the anger welling up in his heart, regardless of the embarrassment, covered his face with his hands, and pretended to be in pain: "Every mistake is mine. Wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you. I know you are angry. If you want to beat or scold me, I will do whatever you want. I just ask you to give me another chance, let's start over..."

Not everything has a chance to repeat itself. Zhang Xiuqing knows the result, so she will repeat the same mistakes: "You and Lin Shuyun will do it all over again. You are both from the city, so you can be regarded as the right family. I am a country boy. I will not be mixed among you."

"What's the matter with Guan Shuyun?" Shen Anlin thought that Zhang Xiuqing was jealous, but he was relieved, put down his hands, and said with aggrieved face: "I admit that she has a crush on me, but I swear to God, I have no love for her." Any thoughts. I returned all the love letters she wrote to me. You know about this. You can’t suspect that I’m not in love with you just because I didn’t swear against Shuyun, right? What age is this? Is it? How can you be so narrow-minded?"

"Shen Anlin, you don't understand human speech, do you? I'll tell you again, listen to me..." Zhang Xiuqing couldn't listen anymore, and had to interrupt his endless complaint: "The first First, you and I are finished; second, you leave my house immediately; third, you don't come to me again, don't say hello even if you meet on the street, ignore each other, treat each other as strangers, this is the ending To you, to me, to everyone!"

"After all, you are still doubting me and Shuyun, Xiuqing, I don't want to quarrel with you, listen to me..."

"I don't want to hear your sophistry. There is nothing to talk about between us. You'd better save your energy and ride home!"

"Xiuqing..."

"Are you going? If you don't go, I'll let the dog bite you..." Zhang Xiuqing saw that Shen Anlin was standing still, and shouted out the lines of a classic movie he had seen in his previous life.

In the rural areas of the 80s, although the problem of food and clothing has been solved, the living standard is still very low. Many people rarely eat meat all year round. It doesn’t matter to the adults, but the children are greedy. It’s hard to look forward to the New Year. Parents have to give Children satisfy their cravings, so many families in rural areas have dogs.

Shen Heying's temperament is hard to say, that is, he loves money like his life. Every time he sees three children feeding the dog with food, he always has to scold a few words to feel comfortable. The reason why there is no strong objection is because in winter, they can kill Dogs eat meat.

It is said that dogs understand human nature, and this is indeed true. As soon as Zhang Xiuqing finished speaking, the little white dog suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Shen Anlin, and opened its mouth to bite.

Shen Anlin was taken aback, and hurriedly backed away. When he exited the yard, Zhang Xiuqing immediately closed the door and put the tip of the door on it.

Shen Anlin was angry and sad, and through a wooden door, he revealed his true intentions: "...as long as you don't break up with me, you can go to work at the post office next week. You keep your salary, my mother has agreed Yes. Xiuqing, think about it again, after passing this village, there will be no such shop!"

These days, it is not easy for country people to find a solid job. Shen Anlin thought that Zhang Xiuqing would definitely be moved, would open the gate of the courtyard to welcome him in, and would even throw himself into his arms to apologize to him. Please forgive her previous willfulness... I never expected to hear such an answer - "Get out!"

Shen Anlin suspected that she heard it wrong, how could Zhang Xiuqing let him go, he went away, what about her work?Do you want to be like those farmers, planing food in the soil all your life?
Shen Anlin really wanted to knock open Zhang Xiuqing's head to see what was going on in her mind?Isn't he good enough for her?Has he not conceded enough?Shen Anlin also wanted to open Zhang Xiuqing's heart and see if it was made of iron or stone. Why is it so hard?
The two villains were fighting fiercely in my heart. One said, why should a man have no wife, and such a vulgar country girl, don't let it go; I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life...

More than half an hour later, Shen Anlin left on his bicycle.More than half an hour later, Zhang Xiuqing went out wearing a straw hat, rain boots, and several empty snakeskin bags in his hands, accompanied by a dog.

Shen Anlin didn't go far, he stood by the river, looking at Zhang Xiuqing's back, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, one step forward is heaven, one step back is hell.However, reason did not defeat evil after all, he turned the bicycle around, and then dropped far behind Zhang Xiuqing...
