Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

The next day, Zhang Xuan got up early.

There were so many guests at home, and he was worried that his mother would not be able to make breakfast, so he thought of going to the backyard kitchen to help.

Afraid of waking up the sleeping couple, he took the toothpaste and toothbrush to the bathroom outside.

It was just a little unexpected that Wen Hui was washing inside at this time.

Morning. Zhang Xuan greeted.

Yeah Wen Hui responded vaguely with her mouth full of toothpaste foam.

Squeezing the toothpaste, filling the cup with water, spitting out the saliva, and started brushing her teeth. Looking at Wen Hui in the mirror, she looked exhausted.

Zhang Xuan asked: Did you not sleep well last night?

Wen Hui lowered her head and hummed, without looking at him, just rinsing her mouth.

Zhang Xuan asked with concern: Are you recognizing the bed?

Wen Hui raised her head to look at him, thought for a moment, and hummed again.

There's nothing you can do about the bed, and you can't sleep with me. If you sleep with me, I can tell you a story about the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.

He thought shamelessly and said: You are not familiar with this place, maybe you are not used to sleeping alone.

Let your partner sleep with you tonight. Anyway, we sleep together from time to time at school, so you will feel safe.

Wen Hui said yes.

After rinsing his mouth and face, Zhang Xuan went directly downstairs to help cook.

Wen Hui stared at his toothbrush cup for a few seconds, and then walked out of the bathroom.

When the old man passed by, Ai Qing was already there, helping to chop vegetables.

Good morning, moms. Zhang Xuan shouted enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

This was the first time Ai Qing heard this title and couldn't help laughing, Why don't you sleep more?

Zhang Xuan replied: The biological clock is up, I can't sleep anymore, and I feel uncomfortable lying in bed, so I get up and move around.

Ruan Xiuqin said: If you want to move around, go outside on the road and say hello to the neighbors. Your help is not needed here.

Ai Qing also echoed: We are very busy here. After all your hard work, you can come back and go for a walk outside to relax.

I know that the two of them hope that they can show up in the village with a friendly image and gain some goodwill.

In fact, he doesn't care about this.

However, thinking that her biological mother will stay in this place until her death makes her realize her wish.

There are no big changes in the village. Looking around, there are three more red brick houses. These red brick houses are still old-fashioned tile-roofed structures.

Fa Xiaozou Yun bought a farm tractor, and also heard that someone in the group next door bought a motorcycle.

By buying a motorcycle and renting it out, Ouyang Yong now has a competitor, so he should make some progress, right?

Wen Hui was overlooking the scenery on the second floor of the villa. Zhang Xuan raised his head and waved, asking, Would you like to go for a walk together?

Looking at each other, Wen Huiqiao smiled and shook her head slightly, refusing.

Yes, if you refuse, just refuse. It’s just a polite word in the first place. Both of them are smart people, and it is impossible for them to actually walk on the street together.

Whistling at the yellow dog, Zhang Xuan lazily walked up the road with his little hands clasped behind his back, and soon arrived at Huang Fugui's house.

The Huang family, which used to be lively and bustling, has been closed all day since Huang Fugui left, and the house is deserted. There are moss on the stone steps.

After asking, it turned out that Mr. Huang’s wife also went there the next year. The three sons and two daughters are all eating the national food outside and may not come back even once a year, so the house is completely empty.

Around a corner, someone was quarreling. It was quite loud, and they started to fight after swearing.

Zhang Xuanren was stunned when he encountered this kind of trouble as soon as he came in the morning. He asked Mother Carrot next to him, Auntie, what's going on? This trouble happened so early in the morning?

Mother Carrot simply explained the whole story:

It turned out that the Liang family passed away an old man and planned to bury him in their own land, and there happened to be a family in front of the land.

Because there is a saying in the custom that a house with a grave behind it gathers wealth, and a house with a grave behind it gathers disaster, people in the house in front of it are not willing to do so. There is a grave behind the house. Isn’t it a grave on the back of the house? This is a taboo.

But the Xiao family thought that they had a large family and bullied the honest man in front of him, so they insisted on forcibly burying him.

The honest man was so angry that he directly fought with the Liang family.

Fortunately, someone started a fight at this time and no real fight broke out.

Zhang Xuan gave up the idea of ​​moving forward because someone wanted to recruit him to be the conciliator, thinking that his identity could act as a deterrent.

He refused outright. Just kidding, I am very unfamiliar with all the roads in the village and I am young, so I don’t want to do this offending job.

Moreover, in rural areas, if you have not harmed other people's interests, people will respect you for your skin. If you feel you are awesome and interfere casually, this layer of skin will no longer work, and there will always be someone who will fight with you.

After chatting with Mother Carrot for a while, I got up and prepared to go home.

Just then Mother Carrot stopped him: When will you return to Yangcheng?

Zhang Xuan said: I'll leave in two or three days.

Carrot's mother asked expectantly: Can you help me bring something to Carrot?

Thinking of Carrot's youthful attitude toward him, he agreed.

You sit down and wait while I go pack your things.

become.

Ten minutes later, something came out, a big package.

Mother Carrot said: There are clothes and bacon in here. You can take them wherever you want without paying too much attention.

Okay, I'll give it to her in a few days.

Thank you, Zhang Xuan.

You're welcome, Auntie.

In the next two days, Zhang Xuan personally led the team, and the four of them visited Shangcun.

Picking mushrooms in the mountains, catching fish and shrimps in the river, picking rice ears in the fields, digging sweet potatoes in the fields, taking photos in the tea mountains, chewing sugar cane on the field ridges, and sleeping on the grass on the river beach.

These are all leftovers from Zhang Xuan’s earlier years of playing. Especially fishing for fish and shrimp is his specialty. He got more than 4 kilograms in half a day.

And I happened to pick up a turtle.

Comrade Qingzhu, are you sure you can do it?

Zhang Xuan weighed the soft-shelled turtle, weighing it 4.7 pounds, which is considered a relatively fat one.

We have this dish in our restaurant, of course we can cook it. Without saying anything, Zou Qingzhu mentioned the turtle processing.

To be honest, he doesn't know how to make this stuff, but he loves to eat it. Why do I like to eat it? Because turtle is nourishing.

Ai Qing has become addicted these days. She goes to work during the day and skips work to come to Shangcun after 3 p.m. Anyway, Chen Yan drove a Mercedes-Benz car to pick her up, so it was not too comfortable.

Aunt Zhang Ru and his wife also came and brought some beef. It was said that the family's cow was grazing on a cliff and fell down, breaking its leg and had to be killed for meat.

After a lot of trouble, it turned out that Zou Qingzhu's cooking skills were time-tested. As soon as the turtle entered his mouth, Ruan Xiuqin and Ai Qing praised him repeatedly.

In the middle of dinner, Zhang Ru suddenly asked Ruan Xiuqin, Is Zhang Xuan going to graduate soon? When will he and Shuang Ling get married?

Ouch, Zhang Xuan felt helpless hearing about this troublesome aunt.

If this aunt is not close to his family, I wonder what he would do in his mind?

I really don’t have the eyesight to see which pot I don’t open and pick up.

Ruan Xiuqin knew that there was a mess behind her son's butt. If this mess was not dealt with, the marriage would not be easy.

Until now, she still can't figure out the relationship between Man Zai and Wen Hui?

However, Ruan Xiuqin's heart ached most for Du Shuangling. Besides, Ai Qing and Shuangling were still at the scene, so naturally they couldn't let her heart go cold.

Although she is a rural woman, she was once a city dweller and had read a book. Naturally, she knew that she could not ask her son this question directly, otherwise she would be stuck in a dead end today.

So Ruan Xiuqi asked Du Shuangling directly: Shuangling, when do you want to get married? Tell mom about it so she can take care of you.

Du Shuangling glanced at Zhang Xuan next to her and said with a smile: We have discussed this matter before. After I finish graduate school and have two years of freedom, I will get married and have children.

Du Shuangling didn't talk about mobile phones because she had no idea about that thing herself and was afraid that the people here wouldn't understand, so she estimated her age. Three years of graduate school, two years of free study, plus one year of seniority, that is, there are still 6 years left. Years ago, I was 27 years old at that time, which was the best age to get married.

Ai Qing didn't understand: You are all 21 now. You are already marrying later and having children after graduate school. Why do you still need to be free for two years?

Du Shuangling held her mother's arm and coquettishly said: The cows in the fields also stop to chew grass and take a nap. We started studying when we were 6 years old, and after studying for more than 20 years, we always have to take a two-year break.

This makes sense, and Ai Qing listened to everything he thought.

But she instinctively felt something was wrong? But now, what could Ai Qing not ask Zhang Xuan?

Otherwise, it will appear that he is too much, forcing Zhang Xuan to marry him or something.

After understanding the attitude of the two actors, Ruan Xiuqin came out in time to smooth things over: Ai Qing, after studying for so many years, it is not easy for them, and there is no need to push too hard. Maybe they have figured it out and got married as soon as they graduate.

After secretly observing the situation, Zhang Xuan made a rough judgment and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything that happened at the dinner table, Wen Hui kept her head down and ate the whole time, looking very quiet.

Zou Qingzhu was just the opposite, looking at this and that with a curious expression.

Seeing that Zhang Ru seemed to want to speak, Zhang Xuan quickly stretched out his foot under the table and stepped on the aunt's toes, winking.

Zhang Ru has seen the world and is not stupid. She reacted immediately and quickly changed her tone:

Shuang Ling's suggestion is very good. Life is only a few decades, and you can't live as tired as a dog every day. Appropriate freedom is quite worthy of promotion.

I keenly heard someone calling dog, and the yellow dog under the table immediately barked twice, indicating that I was here.

The words were spoken by Zhang Ru and taken back by Zhang Ru. So far, this matter has been settled. I think Lao Du's family will not push the marriage too hard in the next few years.

He had never thought that a dog's voice was so nice. Zhang Xuan aimed his right foot directly at the dog's head and stepped on it, preparing to use it as a pedal.

But who is the dog? The master, who has been beaten all kinds of times since he was a child, has never taken his eyes off the little master since he came back, in order to wag his tail at any time to please him and avoid being beaten.

Now seeing that something was wrong, he thought he was about to be beaten again, so he hurriedly avoided it.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's less forceful foot directly touched Wen Hui's calf.

Feeling something strange coming from her calf, Wen Hui, who was eating vegetables, instantly felt her scalp go numb, and the chopsticks in her right hand almost fell off the table.

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and subconsciously looked down. When he realized it was Wen Hui, he quickly pulled back his feet.

I secretly sighed in my heart, what the hell is this? I really want to slap myself to death.

I have decided that I will look good to the dog later. Damn it, I don’t want to do shit anymore. I dare to avoid it at the critical moment. How embarrassing.

There was another quarrel at the bend above. According to the owner of the canteen who came back after watching the excitement, he said:

The honest man was too fierce. He stood on the path leading to the burial pit behind with a butcher's knife, telling anyone who dared to go there that he or the Liang family would die. If they dared to bury someone behind today, they would have to kill a few of them.

This momentum frightened the coffin bearers and they dared not take a step forward.

The eldest son of the Liang family was furious and was about to try his luck. However, before he could even utter a few harsh words, he was chased and chopped by the honest man. Fortunately, he cleverly jumped into the paddy field below and was not hit, but he was. I was horrified and heard that I had diabetes on the spot.

Not only the son of the Liang family was frightened, but everyone who witnessed the scene was frightened.

Later, village cadres arrived, and people's comrades also entered the scene for consultations.

Zhang Xuan didn't go to see this melon, mainly because he was afraid of scaring Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu.

This thing is nothing new in rural areas these days, but it may have a big impact on city people. He is afraid that the two of them will have a psychological shadow after seeing it.

Zhang Xuan said embarrassedly: I'm sorry that this happened to you right away.

Wen Hui smiled knowingly and said it was okay.

Instead, Zou Qingzhu asked: What will be the result next?

The old man recalled that it seemed that the honest man had won the matter and had a reputation of not being afraid of death. The Liang family had to choose another burial place and another day for the funeral.

Zhang Xuan said: What can we do? There are mountains and rivers and people on the same side. If you live in this place, you must abide by the rules here.

I stayed in Shangcun for 4 days in a row.

On the morning of October 4, Zhang Xuan and the other three appeared at Xinhua Railway Station on time and took the sleeper berth to Yangcheng.

In order to kill time, the four of them spent the morning eating melon seeds and chatting.

In the middle, I learned that Zou Qingzhu’s boyfriend had boarded a frigate and gloriously became a navy officer.

When Wenhui talked about her classmates in high school, she accidentally mentioned a name, Li Shiqing.

Wen Hui said: It seems that Shiqing belongs to your Shao City.

Du Shuangling asked: Where are you from Shao City?

Wen Hui shook her head: We didn't ask specifically at that time. After all, her current household registration is in Shanghai. We only occasionally talked about her hometown. Maybe we didn't remember it.

Zhang Xuan was silent when he heard this, and just sighed secretly: This world is really too small, and there are all acquaintances around him.

But then he figured out that Wen Hui and Li Shiqing were both in the YP District of Shanghai, and it was normal for them to study in the same high school.

As they talked, the time came to noon, and the four of them gradually became sleepy.

Zhang Xuan raised his hand and looked at his watch: We still have 9 hours to go to Yangcheng. Let's go to bed. It will be dark when we wake up. We will get off the car full of energy by then.

Okay. The three women responded.

With Zhao Lei and Chen Yan standing guard outside, the four of them slept peacefully.

Although it is summer, there are still so many people and crowds at Yangcheng Railway Station, and all kinds of sacks and snakeskin bags are still the mainstream.

After finally squeezing out, Zhang Xuan said to Du Shuangling and his three daughters, You guys go back to CUHK first. I have to do some errands and I'll be home later.

Knowing that he was going to Baiyun District to deliver something to a neighbor, the three women got into Chen Yan's car and left.

Let's go to Nanfang Hospital. Zhang Xuan ordered Zhao Lei after taking the car from the Yintai Mall employee.

Zhao Lei nodded and drove.

When he arrived at Nanfang Hospital, by some coincidence, Zhang Xuan got out of the car and met Carrot.

Hey! Zhang Xuan, why are you here?

After not seeing her for more than a year, Carrot has changed a lot. The greenness on her face has disappeared. She is also able to dress up and wears light makeup. She looks beautiful.

Zhang Xuan said: Didn't your mother call you? She asked me to bring you something.

Then he asked: Where are you going?

Carrot replied: I just came out of the room. I wanted to meet up with my colleagues for supper.

After saying that, Carrot hurriedly came over: You have worked hard all the way, let me carry it.

Zhang Xuan weighed the package in his hand: It's a bit heavy. I'll help you carry it back to your room.

There were a lot of people outside, and his status was unusual. When Carrot saw this, he didn't bother him. After saying thank you, he directly led the way.

Zhang Xuan asked: Where's Xiao Caiwen, why aren't you with me?

Carrot said: Caiwen was dating her boyfriend and went to her boyfriend's house.

Zhang Xuan was surprised: So fast?

Carrot said: The article is beautiful. Let me tell you, many people are following it.

Zhang Xuan asked: Is it local?

Carrot nodded: Yes, he is a physician in our hospital, and he is also a turtle.

While chatting, the two arrived at the dormitory.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the accommodation conditions were surprisingly okay. Zhang Xuan put down his luggage and said, Your mother should be relieved if she sees this room.

Carrot said: It wasn't so good before. After Caiwen got a boyfriend, he helped me change to a better one through connections.

So that's it.

I really didn't expect that Xiao Caiwen, who was a bit mean to me, had such a good side.

Pouring him a cup of tea, Carrot asked: Did you just come from the train station?

Zhang Xuan said, Yes, after riding the train for a day, I am all greasy.

Carrot looked him up and down: You brought clothes in the car, right? Why don't you come here and take a shower?

Zhang Xuan was stunned and stared at the carrot.

Carrot mustered up the courage and said, It's already 10 o'clock in the evening. It's not too early. You take a bath first and I will take you to dinner later.

Feeling something was wrong, Zhang Xuan tilted his head: Then what?

Carrot blushed and said, If you wish, you can stay here tonight.

Oh, good guy, the carrot is still the same carrot. People are addicted to food, and their courage suddenly increases.

Zhang Xuan laughed and said: The little girl is getting more and more courageous...

Carrot shook his head and replied angrily: No way, I am 18 this year and will be 19 soon.

Zhang Xuan put down the cup and walked out, You know Xiao Shaowan, she is much more beautiful than Xiao Caiwen. She is my first love...

Hearing this, Carrot's courage that he had finally accumulated collapsed with a violent collapse, and he did not dare to pursue him anymore.
