Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 132 "Flying Sand and Walking Stones" - Three and five ridges
The train started slowly, and Sha Liu kept waving her hands until Sha Wanli was out of sight before turning around and sitting down.Heart a sour, tears flow down involuntarily.

In the vast wasteland, the two of them are inseparable, and they are getting closer and closer in the scorching heat and sandstorm, and even a short separation will make her reluctant to leave.

The scenery she was familiar with flashed past the car window, the long yellow sand chilling the desolation, but she couldn't see the graceful figure wearing a black scarf with a sickle on his waist and waving a cowhide whip, like a warrior and a robber.

Still a clueless robber!Before the tears were wiped away, she couldn't help but secretly smiled again.

The train headed south all the way, and it was dark before leaving the province.It was pitch black outside the window, the train was playing a monotonous lullaby, and the inside of the carriage was already in a state of reeling.

Sha Liu was lying on the table, falling asleep and waking up, in a daze intermittently.At dawn, he opened his eyes, rubbed his numb arms, and looked out of the car window, and was immediately attracted.

In front of me is another scene that I have never seen before: rolling hills, winding rivers, fields that can't be seen at a glance, cities with high-rise buildings, and villages shaded by green trees, as if entering another world overnight.

Listening to the station name reported by the train, she knew that she had entered Liaoning Province.

The further south the train travels, the darker and richer the colors of the fields.There was a section of the road passing between the two mountains, and the train slowed down as it climbed the slope, so that the scenery on the hillsides on both sides could be seen closely and clearly.

At the bottom of the slope are fruit forests, with red apples hanging all over the branches, just like a red scarf around the mountain; the dense pine forest on the mountainside is undulating, like a green coat worn on a girl, graceful and fresh; Unknown shrubs surround the top of the mountain, and the light green, deep yellow and bright red leaves complement each other. Could it be that some naughty child left a colorful hat on the top of the mountain?
Salix was so intoxicated that she forgot where she was.The farther away from home, the less the thoughts of parting.The strange world and the yearning environment filled her heart. How lucky are the people living here.

In the middle of the afternoon, Sha Liu got off the train in an ancient city in southern Liaoning.The square in front of the station was spacious and tidy, and Shaliu could easily find the bus that her aunt told her in the letter.Find an empty seat, sit down, and say to the conductor: "Call me when you arrive at Wulongdi."

Before the conductor could answer, a young man sitting next to him with a slicked back said first, "I'm from Wulongdi, so you can definitely get off the bus with me."

Sha Liu smiled at the other party to express his gratitude.The young man is either familiar with himself or born to be talkative, asking this and that.Sha Liu only thought that he was warm-hearted, fair and handsome and not annoying, so she told the truth and gave out her aunt's name.

The young man patted the seat, surprised and said: "What a coincidence, do you know? Your aunt is the aunt of my family who lives in the same village, and the two families are close. Your aunt is capable, and the family Everyone outside the family is a master; your uncle works in electric welding at the township joint factory, and is a master of technology; your cousin works in the city, and earns a lot of money with little effort; their family is one of the most well-to-do households in our village. Your cousin is going out, and you are here to see off your relatives? You are much prettier than your cousin. I should be older than you, so you can call me second brother."

Saying so many beautiful words in one breath is greasy and sticky like a piece of pig fat.Sha Liu didn't like to talk to him, and dealt with him one after another, how could he be so friendly when meeting him for the first time?
It was only five stops from the city to Wulongdi, and the car stopped at the head of a bridge.After getting out of the car, the second brother shook out his crumpled suit, shook the watch on his wrist, and waved his hand towards a big village by the river bank: "Here we are, this is Wulongdi."

"There is still a river!" Sha Liu exclaimed in surprise, standing on the bridge and staring at it.

Under the slanting sun in autumn, the river surface is shimmering, like countless stars jumping on the water surface; black swallows are flying up and down against the water surface, and snow-white ducks are looking down for food along the river bank, leisurely and peaceful; there must be fish at the bottom of the water, happy and free The dense willow and poplar forests on both sides hug the river intimately like two green arms, and they are like two green walls that bend and can't see the edge at a glance.

My aunt's house is right in front of me, so there's no need to rush.Sha Liu walked down the embankment, squatted by the river and washed her face in the cool water, feeling inexplicably sad.

The river is not too wide, not a big river, and reeds, cattails and three-edge grass grow by the water.The clear river flows calmly and slowly, seemingly inexhaustible, and can be squandered and enjoyed at will.

Most of the willow trees on the bank lean towards the river, their heads are raised tenaciously, and their long soft branches lightly brush against the water.The thick tree is covered with reddish-brown fibrous roots, and it has been grown for many years.

This is the first real river she has seen personally. The imprint of the river is as picturesque as a dream, and a trace of coolness and greenness has been blended into her dry imagination.

If Laohetao is such a river, life in Shalitun would not be too hard, right?

The second elder brother stood on the bridge and shouted, "Have you found your aunt?"

Sha Liu walked up the embankment reluctantly, and the second elder brother led her into a house, and when she entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Auntie, look who I brought for you."

Sha Fufang walked quickly from the house into the yard, hugged Sha Liu, looked up and down and shed tears: "Sha Liu, you miss Auntie to death."

I haven't seen my natal relatives for a long time, and it is difficult to control the surge of missing and loving family for a while.Although she has been away from Shalitun for more than 20 years, she only went back twice when her parents passed away, and only saw Sha Liu when she was a child and photos when she grew up. She still recognized Sha Liu at a glance.

Sha Liu wiped away tears for her aunt, and she also burst into tears.My aunt sends money and things to my family every year, and writes letters to my family every year, especially caring about Shaliu.Sha Liu had wanted to visit her aunt for a long time, but today she finally stood in front of her aunt, and her feeling of intimacy was beyond words.

The second brother on the side interjected without losing the opportunity: "Auntie, we sat together as soon as we got in the car, isn't it fate?"

Sha Fufang said, "Second brother, thank you."

The second child said: "There is going to be a wedding at home. If you need my help, just say something. My family is welcome."

Sha Fufang sent the second child: "I will call you if I have something to do, so go ahead."

The second child turned around step by step, and walked away wisely.

Needless to say, aunt and niece are intimate.The next day, under the arrangement of my aunt, my cousin led Shaliu into the city, and went to the bathhouse to take a bath first.Sha Liu stood under the hot water nozzle, and felt the comfort brought by the hot water flowing through every pore from head to toe, which was much cleaner and more comfortable than the water in the old Hetao.

Salix has been washed for more than an hour and I haven't washed enough. My cousin said that I have to go shopping in a while.Sha Liu said that if you spend money, you can take a longer bath, and your cousin said that she likes to take a bath and I will bring you back in two days, so she dragged Sha Liu out of the bath.

My cousin bought a whole set of new clothes and shoes for Sha Liu. After returning home, she changed into new clothes from inside to outside, looking fresh.Sha Liu stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. It turned out that she was also very beautiful and charming.

I thought beautifully in my heart: If I go back to Shalitun dressed like this, will Shawanli's two big eyeballs still fall out?
Sitting on the kang, my aunt admired Sha Liu and said to her cousin, "Is my niece beautiful?"

The cousin said: "Sha Liu's personality and appearance are all up to you. You are turning a corner and boasting that you were a great beauty when you were young."

Auntie smiled happily.The cousin said to Sha Liu again: "I will teach you how to dress and dress up, and turn you into a charming little fairy. Your aunt will be even happier."

From dressing up to finding a partner and living at home, Sha Liu learned a lot of new things from her cousin.The cousin's wedding opened her eyes and gained insight. When picking up the bride, she hired a bus and a van, and there were video cameras, and they set off firecrackers and made a lot of noise.

My cousin’s new house is four new tile-roofed houses with red bricks and blue tiles, large doors and windows, cement floor and white gray walls, patterned paper pasted on the shed, and dust-free floor leather on the kang. The house is spacious and bright; combined furniture There is a color TV set, a dual card recorder and a single player.

Her aunt's house had a black and white TV set that she was already envious of. The whole family was asleep and she was still watching it. She wondered when Shalitun would be able to watch TV?

Throughout the wedding process, Sha Liu was always by the side of her cousin whose hair was full of happiness and satisfaction. The strong visual impact and huge psychological contrast made her a little dizzy.

She had also imagined her own wedding countless times, but she never imagined that she could be like her cousin, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentment for being born in Shalitun.

After the wedding, my aunt stayed with Shaliu for a few more days, and Shaliu stayed to help my aunt harvest the mountains.The crops in the field have basically been harvested. In the yard of my aunt’s house, there are several thick rice-packing warehouses, which are full of golden colors, probably more than the entire Shalitun put together.

The apples on the mountain have not been picked yet, and Sha Liu followed her aunt up the mountain excitedly and curiously.

In the crisp autumn weather, the sun is warm and bright, the wind is blowing softly, and the fragrance of flowers, grasses, and fruits floats in the air.For Salix, whose nostrils are often filled with dust, it is like entering another world.

Beside the path leading to the hillside, clusters of yellow mountain chrysanthemums are blooming, and a kind of thorny low bush is also full of small red fruits.Salix plucked a few and put them in the mouth. It was sweet and sour, but there was not much pulp.

The aunt told her: "This is mountain jujube, soaked in wine and drunk to cure rheumatism."

Sha Liu thought, everything here, including the dense weeds on the slopes of the fields, would be a treasure in Shalitun.If Sha Wanli can herd sheep here, I don't know what kind of success it will be.

In the orchard on the hillside, there are hundreds of apple trees neatly arranged vertically and horizontally. The apples with bent branches have turned red after frost, and the strong fruit fragrance stimulates Salix to sneeze.

She asked her aunt how many catties of apples she could produce in total, and her aunt said more than 2 catties.She opened her mouth wide in surprise, she has only eaten a few apples at such a big age.

She climbed up the tree and sat firmly on a branch, holding the apples in one hand and picking them with the other.I picked it up in my hand, looked at it, smelled it, and carefully put it in the basket, for fear of bumping into it.

Sha Fufang, who was standing under the tree, asked Sha Liu: "Is the old walnut tree at the entrance of the village still bearing fruit?"

Sha Liu said: "Each family can share some of the fruits."

Sha Fufang secretly sighed.When she was working as a migrant worker to repair the railway, she met a railway soldier. He said that the land in his hometown was so fertile that it was rich in apples, and that the four seasons were distinct, unlike the Gobi Desert, which was extremely cold in winter and extremely hot in summer, so she resolutely followed him. He came here to marry and have children.

If you stay in Shalitun, you will only continue the hard and poor life from generation to generation.

Looking at the salix on the tree that was as excited as a bird, she seemed to see herself back then, and said lovingly: "Haven't you seen so many apples? Eat whatever you want, my aunt cares for you. It's best to be pecked by birds." It's sweet and crunchy."

Salix climbed to the top of the tree and picked an apple that had been pecked by a bird and had a hard scar. After taking a bite, it was really sweet and crisp, and the sweet juice flowed down the corner of her mouth.

She clearly remembered that the last time she ate apples was the year before last, when her elder brother, who was a soldier, brought some of them home from a visit to relatives, and the sweet and mellow taste has always been deeply engraved in her memory.Now that I am in the orchard, I can’t help thinking with infinite longing in my heart: How wonderful it would be to live here?

The picked apples are placed in wicker fruit cages, which can hold more than 60 kilograms, and are neatly placed beside the orchard.

When the sun was in the west, a bullock cart came to the edge of the orchard, and the driver was a young man with a round head and a square face. From the conversation between her aunt and him, Sha Liu knew that his name was Zhuang Daming.

Zhuang Daming picked up the fruit cage and loaded it on the car, and Sha Liu also picked up one. Zhuang Daming hurried to pick it up from Sha Liu's hand: "You can't move it, let me do it."

The four eyes met, and the big faces of the four squares turned slightly red.

Sha Liu said: "You look down on people too much." It is not too much effort to lift a fruit cage and load it into the car.

Zhuang Daming smiled innocently and said, "Let me do it, you rest."

Sha Fufang said: "My niece is not a delicate person."

Zhuang Daming nodded vigorously: "That is, that is."

After the cart was loaded, the bullock cart creaked and walked on the dirt road with deep ruts in the countryside.Zhuang Daming was driving beside the shaft, and Sha Fufang and Sha Liu followed behind.

Sha Fufang told Sha Liu that the family didn't have any big animals, and they would ask Zhuang Daming to do any work, and he would give some wages at the end of the year, and Daming never cared about anything.

Sha Fufang asked Zhuang Daming: "I heard that you have a blind date, did it work?"

Zhuang Daming said: "It's yellow, people think I'm less honest."

Sha Fufang said: "Bullshit, the second lazy man talks a lot, why don't you marry the second lazy man?"

Sha Liu asked her aunt, "Who is the second lazy man?"

Sha Fufang said, "It's the second child who brought you home."

Sha Liu chuckled: "You are so handsome, why is it called such a name?"

Sha Fufang took a look at Sha Liu and said: "The second lazy man doesn't do serious business, the wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't catch him, so he's smooth and slippery. Daming, tell Sha Liu the history of the second lazy man."

Zhuang Daming said: "I'm too lazy to talk about him."

Listening to the tone, he looked down on the second lazy man.

Sha Fufang told Sha Liu that the second lazy man had an older brother and four older sisters, and he was the youngest in the family.When my elder brother got sick and died when he was a few years old, his parents and elder sisters pampered him very much, and he developed a bad habit of eating and being lazy.

In the first year after school, I grazed cows for the team, and I lay down on the hillside to sleep, and a few cows ate up a large area of ​​crops.In a fit of anger, the captain sent him to the reservoir construction site to pull a cart and bulldoze. He was tired and thought about using other people's bulldozers.

At noon, when everyone was resting, he climbed onto the bulldozer and fiddled with it, and somehow it caught fire.The bulldozer rumbled forward, but the two lazy men in the car had numb claws, could not turn or stop, and yelled in fright.

Seeing the bulldozers rushing into the sleeping sheds and knocking down several of them, the people in the sheds ran away in fright.

Fortunately, the people inside ran fast, otherwise they would have died.The captain pointed at his nose and cursed: "Second brother, second child, what else can you do besides being lazy?"

Since then, there has been the name of the second lazy man.

After working alone, his older sisters were all married, but he still refused to do any farm work, and the family's dozens of acres of land were all cultivated by his parents.He ran to the city every day, saying that he was doing business, but he didn't see how much money he was making, but his family was getting poorer every day.She still looks like a human being when she doesn't speak, but when she speaks and does things, she is a bit sloppy, and she hasn't talked about a daughter-in-law in her thirties.

Sha Liuxin said, if you don't know your blessings when you are in the midst of blessings, and you are poor while guarding such a treasured land, then you are too lazy to do so.

Back home, Zhuang Daming unloaded a load of apples. Before leaving, Zhuang Daming asked Sha Fufang, "Auntie, I'm going to the market tomorrow. Do you want to bring anything with you?"

Sha Fufang said, "Let Sha Liu play with you."

The next morning, Zhuang Daming led two cows, one big and one small, to find Sha Liu, and led her to the market.Auntie asked Sha Liu to tidy up and go with Zhuang Daming.

On the way, Zhuang Daming didn't have much to say, he walked with his head depressed, and Sha Liu couldn't help but find something to say by himself: "Going to the market and holding the cow?"

When it came to cattle, Zhuang Daming had nothing to say. He told Sha Liu that he was going to dump the cattle.

At the beginning of spring, he spotted this cow with a calf at the animal fair, and he decided that the cow was still a cow in its belly, so it was worth a lot.After buying it home, a heifer was born three months later.Now that the cow has a calf again, he judged that it was a bull and it would be boring to keep it, so he decided to sell it together.

Sha Liu didn't believe it: "That's just a coincidence."

Zhuang Daming said: "It's not a coincidence. I really know how to watch. Basically, I can drive an ox cart at the age of ten."

Sha Liu couldn't help laughing: "Then would you watch a pregnant woman give birth to a boy or a girl?"

Zhuang Daming blushed and said, "I don't think about that, how can I stare at a woman's belly."

Sha Liu smiled happily. Although this person was a little bored, Doudou was quite interesting.

The market is located at the entrance of a village on the other side of the river, bounded by the bridge head, with a comprehensive market on one side and a livestock market on the other.The big animals to be sold were tied to the poplar trees on the river bank and lined up.

At this time, Zhuang Daming seemed to be a different person. He discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the cattle with the buyer in a straight-forward manner, and bargained with the buyer.

He whispered to Sha Liu that he made a net profit of 1000 yuan after buying and selling artificial fodder.

Sha Liu secretly admired him, this man looked honest but very shrewd, so he looked at him differently.

Zhuang Daming led Salix to the general market and bought two big carps.The fishmonger tied a wide piece of cattail from the gills of the fish to both ends of the fish's mouth, and it was still alive and kicking in his hand.Zhuang Daming hesitated for a long time before saying that he bought it for Sha Liu.

How can Sha Liu want it? Who are you?

Zhuang Daming, who was rejected, was a little at a loss, his forehead was sweating, and he muttered: "I'm making money, and it's nothing to give you two fish."

That can't be done either.Just as he was refusing, there was a strange sarcasm from the side: "Take two stinky fish to buy people's hearts."

The one who said this was the second lazy man, carrying a big black bag and holding several bundles of red, black, blue, and yellow plastic bags, and was selling them.

Sha Liu couldn't bear to see the honest and honest Zhuang Daming being squeezed out by the two lazy men, and said to the two lazy men as if he had taken over the fish in a demonstration: "I want more." Then he pulled Zhuang Daming and said: "Let's go, ignore him. "

Back at the animal collection, Zhuang Daming grasped the eagerness of the other party to make a move, and bought a cow with a calf that he had long been in love with for a long time at a low price.

Sha Liu asked curiously: "Are you sure you can still lay cows?"

Zhuang Daming is very confident about this: "I raised cattle when I was in the production team, and I like to think about it. If you don't believe it, you will see it when the cubs are born in two months."

Sha Liu fully believes that this is a skill, a survival skill.She also learned that Zhuang Daming only took action when he saw the right time, and building plastic greenhouses to grow vegetables is the main source of income for the family.

On the way back, the two lazy men were waiting for them.The second lazy man took out a red plastic bag and put the two carp in Sha Liu's hand into it: "The convenient bag is really convenient, not afraid of fishy smell or smell."

He took out a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of conditioner, and a box of cream from the bag and gave it to Sha Liu: "Look at what the second brother bought for you? This is upscale."

Sha Liu thought to herself, this lazy man is not useless, he knows what women like.I used to wash my hair with washing powder, and my hair became a ball and couldn't be combed. I followed my cousin to use shampoo and conditioner when I came to my aunt's house. The big braids are smooth and soft.

The second lazy man swore to her: "You may have heard that I have another name called the second lazy man. I just don't like doing farm work. What's the matter? What's the point of climbing the ditches all day long? I'm going to do big business in the future. "

Zhuang Daming rose up and fought back; "Slap your face swollen to make yourself fat, what can you do, what can you do, bragging."

The second lazy man said: "Even if I brag, it's better than your smell of stinky cow dung."

Sha Liu could see that the two of them had that meaning for him.She hung the fish on the horn, stuffed the shampoo, conditioner and cream back into the arms of the second lazy man, turned around and walked away alone with her big braid.

Hmph, Savanli is still waiting for me to go back to kiss in Shalitun.

In the afternoon, Sha Liu was still picking apples with her aunt, and her aunt asked her, "Do you have a husband?"

Sha Liu said, "It doesn't count as yes, but it's good."

Knowing that it was Sha Wanli, Sha Fujiu's son, Sha Fufang sighed in his heart: What should I do?
Back then, I was caught in a dilemma between my brother and Sha Fujiu. Only I knew the heart-piercing pain. Could it be that I let my niece go through the same pain as me again?
But life experience told her that feelings are just a tree in the desert, without sufficient water to nourish, the tree will die sooner or later.Pain is temporary, life is for a lifetime, she really can't bear to let Sha Liu go back to Shalitun again.

Thinking of this, Sha Fufang said to Sha Liu who was sitting on the fruit tree: "If you are willing to listen to my aunt, I will find you a good family here."

The salix sitting on the branch of the fruit tree was stunned.Aunt's words easily cut off all her previous thoughts and brought her into another life situation.

Red apples are swaying around like a string of lanterns, and the fertile land under the feet is the fertile land that guarantees harvest from drought and flood.Rich villages border bustling towns, different environments and different lifestyles, all of which are beyond what Shalitun can offer.

The cousin's wedding has broadened her horizons and clarified the direction of her life. It's just that she has little hope and she doesn't want to admit it, but her aunt opened the door for her.

Sha Fufang looked at the silent Sha Liu and asked, "Is Zhuang Daming right about your thoughts?"

This morning, Zhuang Daming's mother specially ran to the house, saying that she fell in love with Sha Liu's hardworking, capable and sensible, and intended to get married.She knew the family well, the family was loyal, diligent and thrifty, and the family was relatively wealthy, so she was relieved that Sha Liu would marry her.

Sha Liu couldn't tell whether Zhuang Daming was good or bad, but she always felt that he lacked a kind of energy that she liked, like Sha Wanli, who would not bend down in the face of the wind, sand and scorching sun.Still not reconciled, she asked her aunt, "Can I transfer my account?"

Sha Fufang smiled: "Of course you can transfer your registered permanent residence when you get married."

Sha Liu looked down at her aunt from the tree and said, "I mean, transfer my and Sha Wanli's hukou."

Sha Fufang's face changed: "Well, it's better, I've already transferred the accounts of your parents and your brother."

Salix picked the apples mechanically, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Sha Fufang softened her tone and said, "You are not my own daughter, so I can't make decisions for you. You should think about it yourself."

She didn't force Sha Liu anymore, so why didn't she learn to give up in this heart-wrenching choice back then?
After picking more than a dozen baskets of apples, Sha Fufang went home early and asked Sha Liu to wait for Zhuang Daming to pull the apples.Sha Liu sat on the ridge of the field and looked into the distance, her sad eyes went back to Sha Wanli through the mountains.

Why are you so ignorant?Why don't you use the courage of the fighting wolf on me?
Once back in Laohetao, Sha Wanli held her in his arms and sat under the willow bushes, and said to her longingly: "I want to raise a hundred sheep, and I will marry you when I save enough money."

A fire was burning in her heart, and she asked Sha Wanli with a flushed face, "Why is there a piece of leather hanging under the stud's belly?"

In fact, she is very understanding. In the summer when I was 17 years old, the weather was humid and hot, and I couldn't stay at home. Every day when it was dark, I took a mat to the roof to enjoy the cool.

Under the dim starlight, she happened to see the elder brother and sister-in-law of the neighbors in the front yard also on the roof, like livestock.When she understood it, she couldn't help but blush and her heart beat, and she never went to the roof to enjoy the shade.

Sha Wanli said heartlessly: "There are sisters and offspring of breeding sheep in the flock, so inbreeding is prevented."

Perhaps it was the words "prevent inbreeding" that frightened her and did not continue to guide Sha Wanli.It's really better to promise for life at that time, why bother to feel sad like now?

Zhuang Daming drove the ox cart to the orchard, Sha Liu stared at him as if seeing an enemy: "I didn't see you."

Zhuang Daming didn't seem to hear, he loaded the apples into the cart one by one and sealed them with rope.Then spread a thick layer of hay on the front shaft panel, walked up to her without saying a word, bent down to pick it up, put it on the front shaft panel and sat down.Holding the reins of the ox with one hand and the shaft of the cart with the other, he drove the ox cart down the mountain slowly.

Sha Liu wanted to jump out of the car, but couldn't help but secretly laughed again, driving the honest man into a hurry, he really dared to do anything.

Looking at the steady and strong back in front of him, the resentment in his heart caused by him disturbing his mind gradually disappeared, and he felt that he was a wave of calm deep water, and he was a small stone floating in the water. He kept jumping forward, and finally sank involuntarily.

A few days later, Sha Fufang told Sha Liu: "The family is very satisfied with you. As long as you agree to this marriage, you will receive a bride price of 1 yuan for four new tile-roofed houses, as well as furniture and electrical appliances. Pass."

This time, Sha Liu agreed without hesitation.The real life is in front of you, forget Shalitun, forget Savanli, forget everything there.

She convinced herself with a good enough and incontrovertible reason, however ridiculous that reason was: it would be easier to marry even a slob than to stay in Salitton.

During the Chinese New Year, Sha Liu was active in Zhuang Daming's house as a prospective daughter-in-law, and the wedding date was set on May Day.

She bought a red down jacket with 300 yuan from Sha Wanli, and she wore it like a fire burning.As the day of great joy approaches, Sha Liu becomes more and more anxious to go back to Shalitun.

Sha Wanli hasn't tasted the taste of kissing yet, let's satisfy him once.

Auntie seemed to have seen through her mind, and she resolutely forbade it: "You leave my aunt's house just as if I gave birth to an extra girl."

In desperation, Sha Liu secretly wrote a letter to Sha Wanli with tears in her eyes: "Wanli, don't hate me, I can't marry you. It's not that you are not good enough, but that Shalitun lost to Wulongdi. etc. I have a firm foothold here, and maybe I can find a way out for you. If you have a chance, come to my sister's house as a guest."

By the time the letter was delivered to Sha Wanli, May Day had already passed.Shalitun spring has a short neck, and it has entered summer shortly after the ice and snow melt.

Sha Wanli wore a black turban and drove his flock of sheep in the wilderness.A pair of big absent-minded eyes, looking helplessly into the distance, like a wounded wolf, licking his own wound to heal himself.

In the long winter, he tasted the feeling of waiting and missing for the first time.The torment like the warm wind blowing on his chest and the cold on his back made him reticent, and he didn't have much to say to his parents.

At the beginning of spring, his flock gave birth to more than a dozen lambs, and the flock expanded, but he did not wait for hope.He just lost love when he first learned about it. The cold fact made Sha Liu's letter meaningless, so he knew that women can change, and feelings are unreliable.

In the same year, Sha Liu's elder brother, who was demobilized from the army, settled down in another place, and soon picked up his parents, so Sha Liu never returned to Sha Litun.

From the moment Sha Wanli sent Sha Liu to the train and the two waved goodbye, Sha Liu disappeared from his vision.

In autumn, Shawanli will also leave Shalitun.Salitun had nothing left to miss, so he took off his sweat-soaked black turban and put on a national defense green.

On the day before leaving, he stood under the old walnut tree at the entrance of the village for a long time, saying goodbye to the old walnut tree alone: ​​the walnut pickers are gone, and the walnut pickers are leaving too. Do you feel lonely too?
The old walnut tree waved its branches and leaves and saw him off silently.
