reborn to run

Chapter 26

Early the next morning, Guixiang changed into clean clothes and together with Ma Xiaohong boarded the tractor in the team to pull lime in Yushui.

After winter, the northwest wind rolled the land hard and cold, leaving only bare tree trunks in the birch forests around.The two girls were wrapped in thick scarves, only their eyes were exposed, but their hearts were like young sparrows out of their nest.

Guixiang went to Yushui to make money, and the fare could be saved as much as possible, but Ma Xiaohong seldom took this kind of car to go out. Seeing her shivering from the cold, Guixiang was also quite embarrassed: "Xiaohong, it's hard for you It's so cold today!"

Xiaohong rolled up her scarf: "Well, I want to earn extra money with you! This round-trip fare costs [-] cents, what else do you earn?"

Where is Ma Xiaohong's family short of money, Gui Xiang is even more grateful for this hard-won friendship.

"Guixiang, you said how uncomfortable it is for us to stay in Yushui for the rest of our lives. I want to go out and experience it. Hey, my father told me to go home after finishing junior high school. He asked someone to teach me to be an accountant in Yushui. Think about it. I feel bored. It would be great if I could go to university! Then I can find a job in the provincial capital, and I can even go to other provinces to see it. I really want to go to Tiananmen Square to see the national flag being raised!"

Shan Guixiang never thought of leaving Yushui, and some seeds suddenly sprouted in her heart when she said this. She used to only want to jump out of the farm, but she never thought of making a difference.

The tractor rumbled but drove very slowly across the vast plain, the sun came out, and the mountains in the distance turned into smoky blue, Guixiang turned her head and said: "If it's a few years, the college entrance examination will resume. ? Xiaohong, do you want to... have a break?"

Ma Xiaohong smiled and said: "Of course! It would be great if the policy is clearer in the future!"

The head of the Yushui County Art Troupe is a classmate of Uncle Ma Xiaohong's. As soon as the two of them arrived and received a booklet, Xiaohong looked through it and found that it was Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Gui Xiang had never watched this show before, so she was very surprised, and she couldn't help sighing after reading the show from beginning to end.

"How does it feel?" Xiaohong asked with her neck stretched.

Gui Xiang said solemnly: "Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Ma Xiaohong burst out laughing: "I think you are quite suitable for acting in a script! Let's go, let's go eat, their food here is not bad."

"Aren't you going to act? Today?" Gui Xiang was afraid that today's trip would be in vain.

"The other side said that the heroine hasn't arrived yet, let's eat first, and get paid anyway."

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the leading actress hadn't arrived yet, so the head of the repertory troupe was anxious: "Who can act?" Xiaohong pointed to Guixiang quietly, and the man really called her name.The remuneration for playing a leading role is better than that of a supporting role, and Gui Xiang didn't object.

But when the man introduced the cast list, Gui Xiang was stunned.The one who plays Hamlet is Li Tong, the matchmaker who helped her match Li Mingbao back then.He and Li Mingbao are cousins, and he helped sell all the seedlings in Li Mingbao's house. It can be said that this person directly pushed her into the pit of fire.It was also he who planned the farce with his own hands, which made her unable to return home.

Guixiang didn't want to provoke him, but she couldn't dodge it on purpose, after all, they didn't know each other yet, so being too deliberate would cause trouble.Fortunately, the two of them seldom communicated much except for performances. Even when asked where she was from, Guixiang only mentioned Yushui County.

After the play was over, Gui Xiang leaned against the door and took off the big-brimmed hat on her head. Li Tong suddenly came over and raised her eyebrows and said, "You are very guarded."

Guixiang also smiled back at him: "Thank you for the compliment."

Ma Xiaohong hastily tugged on Guixiang's sleeve.

After punching the cotton, Li Tong tilted his head and lit a cigarette, and said to Ma Xiaohong, "I'll drive you back later, it's getting late, it's inconvenient for you girls."

"No need!" Gui Xiang resolutely refused, she really didn't want to relive that period of the past.

Xiaohong had no choice but to shake her head resignedly.

Li Tong suddenly smiled: "Xiaohong, your friend is very interesting."

After leaving the door, Xiaohong was a little unhappy: "Guixiang, why are you talking to people like that, Li Tongren is very nice."

"Ma Xiaohong, do you know where a girl will be taken when she gets into a strange man's car?" At that time, this man also said that he would send her back with another girl, but he got her drunk and sent her to Li Mingbao...

"Guixiang...what's wrong with you?" Guixiang's sudden sternness startled Xiaohong.

"I advise you not to try to get close to this person, or you will be the one who will suffer!" Guixiang really understands the look in Ma Xiaohong's eyes when she looks at Li Tong, but this person later married three times. The wealth of the other party's family has a good appearance, but it is not a good match.

Ma Xiaohong wiped her tears with her head down, Gui Xiang took a few breaths, hugged her hand and said, "Xiaohong, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

After that time, Ma Xiaohong didn't talk much when she saw Li Tong.

As the new year was approaching, Guixiang took the eight yuan given there, plus the new year's money given by her grandfather, she saved a total of 15 yuan.

It's just that this year doesn't seem to be peaceful. It's because of Guixiang's visit to Teacher Chen's family last time, and someone brought the incident to her home.There are too many people in the village who are not as good as her family, and there are too many people who are jealous.Guixiang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but it became more and more serious.
