Chapter 135 "Flying Sand and Walking Stones" - Six and Five Ridges
After two years, Sha Wanli entered Wulongdi Village again.
The land in front of me was being harvested, and the crops were laid down in pieces, covering the ground with golden yellow.People were busy in the fields, and the village seemed extremely quiet.
The courtyard door of Shaliu's house was also locked tightly. Through the courtyard door, one could see the ears of corn piled up in the yard that had not yet been warehoused. It seemed that the family was also busy in the field.Sha Wanli turned around and left the village, looking for Salix in a crowded place.
A man in a field was leisurely herding two cows. Sha Wanli stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I'm asking you for someone."
The man was wearing a clean white shirt, revealing a white body like an old woman, squinting at Sha Wanli, and said rather dissatisfied: "Who is your elder brother?"
Sha Wanli said in his heart that he was not happy to call out to the elder brother, so he didn't know what to do.
The man said again: "Everyone in the village calls me Second Brother."
Sha Wanli smiled and said, "Second brother, do you know where Sha Liu is?"
The second brother looked Sha Wanli up and down and asked, "Who are you to her?"
Sha Wanli said, "I am her cousin."
The second brother was overjoyed at once, and immediately changed into a pleasing expression: "It's brother. You see, these two cows belong to her family. She is cutting corn in the field, so I put aside my own work and let her go." Niu, is that interesting enough?"
Sha Wanli has a ghost in his heart, why is there no one in Sha Liu's house to herd cattle?He didn't care about chatting with the second brother, and walked along the ditch, and when he got closer, he saw that Sha Liu was burying his head and waving a sickle alone.
Other people's corn has been cut down, and only hers are left standing in the ground.
Sha Wanli stood behind Sha Liu and called out "Sister."
Sha Liu stopped the sickle in her hand, straightened her waist and turned around slowly.Grass leaves were stained on the messy hair, black lines were drawn on the face with sweat, one hand beat the sore waist, and forced a smile: "Why did you come here this year? I thought you wouldn't come."
Sha Wanli noticed that Sha Liu had visibly lost weight and looked tired. He said, "I won't leave this time."
He took off the canvas travel bag on his back and put it on the corn stalks, took the sickle from Sha Liu's hand and buried himself in work.
Sha Liu wiped the sweat off her face, and her face immediately became dazed. She asked, "Where are the siblings and children?"
Sha Wanli didn't stop what he was doing, but just said, "I didn't find it."
Sha Liu was taken aback.Near noon, the corn was cut down, and she also knew what happened in Shalitun, and she sighed secretly: this is fate!
She said to Sha Wanli: "You stay at my house first, and we will look for it later."
Tears had washed his face clean.
The two returned to the field the same way. Sha Liu saw that her two oxen were held by her second brother, she stepped forward and grabbed the reins and said, "I tied the oxen to the field, who told you to untie them?"
The second elder brother shyly said, "How can you be full if you are tied to the ground, I will put it for you for a while."
"As long as you can eat enough, don't touch my cows in the future." Sha Liu said bluntly, leading the cows and leaving.
Sha Wanli looked back at his second brother, and said to Sha Liu, "This man is quite interesting, I must call him the second brother."
Sha Liu said: "He is a famous second lazy man in our village, he is so shameless."
When he got home, Sha Wanli tied up the cattle and followed Sha Liu into the house. He didn't see Zhuang Daming, so he asked, "Where's brother-in-law?"
Sha Liu, who was washing her face, buried her face in the basin, but couldn't hold back her sobbing, and said with a choked voice, "Your brother-in-law is gone."
It happened in the spring of this year.At the beginning of spring, the land in the village was readjusted, and the contract was changed from ten years to 70 years. The land of Sha Liu's family was divided with that of Zhang Laowai's family.
When pulling out the seedlings, Sha Liu found that the living ridges of the two families were obviously biased towards their own side. The ridge of their own family became narrower, and the ridge of the neighboring Zhang Laowai's house became wider, which is equivalent to Zhang Laowai's Occupied half a row of land in his home.
When I went home and told Zhuang Daming, Zhuang Daming said disdainfully: "Zhang Laowai is born to be a greedy person, he can't live if he doesn't try to take advantage of it."
The two were quarreling, and Sha Liu hadn't let him touch for more than a month, so he took the opportunity to tell another story about Zhang Laowai, which made Sha Liu happy to ease the conflict.
When I was still in the production team, one year the village slaughtered an old heifer and planned to distribute some meat to each household.Everyone else went to work, but Zhang Laowai was wandering around the case of killing cattle.
The captain asked him, "Why are you wandering around if you don't go to work?"
Zhang Laowai pointed to a pool of things that were meat and not meat, and water and not water, and asked the captain: "Throwing away is nothing, can you give me that little thing?"
The captain smiled and said, "If you can eat it, I will give it to you."
Afterwards, when the villagers saw Zhang Laowai, they asked, "How does it taste? It must be very special."
Zhang Laowai was very unhappy: "The captain is really not mean, I ate some beef and advertised it everywhere, it's still a piece of meat anyway."
Everyone is so happy: "Don't get cheap and act like a good boy."
Sha Liu smiled, but after smiling, her face turned cold: "You are so narrow-minded, you are not as good as Zhang Laowai."
At the beginning of spring, Sha Liu accidentally mentioned while cooking, it has been two years, why hasn't Sha Wanli come?If no one comes, there should be a letter.
Zhuang Daming glanced at her sideways: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you still can't forget it when you are far away. The relationship between cousins and cousins is really deep."
Sha Liu didn't care, and said haha: "How deep do you say? Is it as deep as a tank or as deep as a well?"
Zhuang Daming finally said what he had been holding back for two years: "Who knows what kind of relationship you have before? I'm afraid it's because wolves eat grass and have donkeys' thoughts when they came all the way to see you.
This sentence annoyed Sha Liu, and he poured a ladle of cold water on his head: "If you suspect that we are not getting along, you should just get a divorce."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was startled, and I had a good life, but how could I have such an idea?When did you have it?The two moved their hands, and Sha Liu was slapped black-eyed.Leave as soon as you leave, Sha Liu thought to herself, a household registration with five ridges of land is not afraid of anything.
When it came to divorce, Zhuang Daming was discouraged.
When he was on the spring ridge, Mr. Zhang was so crooked that he plowed the half ridge of Shaliu's house in one fell swoop, and all the corn seedlings in that ridge showed their roots.
This time, Sha Liu would never give in again. She asked Zhang Laowai: "Are your eyes crooked or slanted? Last time you didn't care about it, you think we are easy to bully, don't you?"
Zhang Laowai said: "My eyes are not crooked or slanted, it's because the cow has gone astray."
Zhuang Daming calmly persuaded Sha Liu: "Forget it, let's not be as knowledgeable as him. Let alone half a row of land, if you give him a whole row of land, can he still make a fortune in this life?"
Sha Liu said, "Whatever? You let him take another foot for every inch."
Five ridges and one mu of land, half a ridge is a piece of land, why let him take it for no reason?In Shalitun, every head can get half of the arable land. How could Salix give in so easily?
Zhang Laowai opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I didn't occupy your land. What can I do if the cattle go astray? It's normal for big and small ridges."
Sha Liu became anxious, and said without hesitation: "You can even eat beef B, what else can't you do? You just deliberately took advantage of it."
At that time, there were many people watching, including Zhang Laowai's two daughters-in-law.All of a sudden, Zhang's crooked old face was exposed in front of everyone, and he pointed at Sha Liu angrily and said viciously: "You are an old woman, or I will slap your mouth."
Sha Liu is not afraid of this, she stretched her face directly over: "Hit me and see."
Sha Liu slammed into it, and stretched out her hands to scratch a few bloodstains on Zhang Laowai's face.Zhang Laowai wiped his face and kicked Sha Liu to the ground.
Seeing this scene, no matter how honest people are, they will not be indifferent.Zhuang Daming swung the whip in his hand, and with a crisp "snap", a bloody gash was drawn on Zhang Laowai's neck.
Seeing the blood, Zhang Laowai's eyes turned red, he grabbed a shovel and threw it at Zhuang Daming fiercely, right on the head of Zhuang Daming.
All this happened so suddenly that everyone had no time to step forward to stop them. They watched Zhuang Daming slowly fall down with his head covered. He was sent to the hospital but failed to be rescued. Zhang Laowai was also sentenced to death with a suspended execution.
Afterwards, Zhuang Daming's parents and brothers accused Sha Liu of causing Zhuang Daming's death for causing trouble in the half-row land, and asked for the house they got when they got married and the savings from their current family.
Aunt accompanied Sha Liu and led Zhuang Hai from the village to the township. In the end, the relevant departments of the township came forward to mediate and transferred the four tile-roofed houses to Zhuang Hai's name, and the rest were inherited by Sha Liu, mother and son. It's over.
Zhang Laowai's family hated Sha Liu even more.His two sons are not good enemies either. After the two families formed a deadly feud, they changed their methods to deal with Shaliu.Either a chicken was lost, or the glass was smashed in the middle of the night, or a large area of immature crops was cut down in the field.
Knowing who did it, but suffering from no evidence, Sha Liu could only swallow tears in her stomach, secretly suffering from being dumb.
Hearing Sha Liu's cry, Sha Wanli punched heavily on the edge of the kang: "With me here, let's see who dares to bully you again."
Only he can understand why Sha Liu is willing to compete with others for half a row of land. If it were him, he would not give up.
When Zhuang Hai returned home from school, the little boy who had just entered the first grade was timid when he saw strangers because he lost his father.
Sha Wanli picked up Zhuang Hai on his lap and asked, "Don't you know uncle?"
Zhuang Hai said timidly, "Forgot."
Sha Wanli deliberately made Zhuang Hai happy: "Don't laugh at Uncle, Uncle has never fished since he was so old, why don't you take Uncle to fish in the river on Sunday?"
Zhuang Hai was amused this time: "I know how to fish, no one else has caught as much as I have. Have you really never fished?"
One lost his son, the other lost his father, the old and the young quickly became intimate, and Sha Liu also showed a long-lost smile on his face.
After lunch, Zhuanghai left school, Sha Wanli hitched the ox cart and carried the plow onto the cart.Sha Liu realized what Sha Wanli was going to do, she stopped Sha Wanli and said, "Let's not argue, sister is really scared, and I don't want you to have any accidents."
Sha Wanli said with a smile: "This matter must be settled, and it cannot be entangled endlessly. Don't worry, I know it well, and I won't be irrational."
Driving the bullock cart to the field, Sha Liu pointed to the controversial ditches for Sha Wanli to look at.The boundary stone that was erected when the land was divided was still there, but the ditch deviated from the boundary stone and took up half of the land of Shaliu's family.
Sha Liu whispered to Sha Wanli that the people working in the field beside him were Zhang Laowai's son and daughter-in-law.
Sha Wanli glanced at it and said loudly on purpose: "It seems that this is not because the cow has gone astray, but because people's hearts have gone astray."
He unloaded the ox from the cart, put it on the plow, and swung the whip at the boundary stone to plow down.The second lazy man ran to watch the excitement, stood beside Sha Liu and said, "How can there be plowing land in autumn?"
Sha Liu nervously watched every move of Zhang Laowai's family, so she couldn't care less about the lazy man.
Before plowing far, Zhang Laowai's two sons stopped the cattle, surrounded Sha Wanli from left to right and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Sha Wanli said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is to have peace of mind."
Zhang Laowai's two sons rolled up their arms and sleeves, and said aggressively, "Who do you think is not at ease?"
Seeing that the conflict broke out again, the villagers working in the field surrounded them.We all know that Zhang Laowai's family is not easy to mess with, and they just don't want to stand up and meddle in their own business.
Sha Liu stood in front of Sha Wanli, and was pulled behind him by Sha Wanli, still smiling: "If you are not righteous, you will not be right. It seems that this posture is about to use force, and I will accompany you at any time. However, I still advise you to calm down first." Come down, think about the consequences before talking."
Sha Wanli's calm and calm demeanor completely suppressed Zhang Laowai's two sons.They had never seen Zhu'er fighting with a smile on his face before, and this time they encountered a hard problem, and gradually became a little discouraged.
The second lazy man got the courage out of nowhere, stood up and said to Zhang Laowai's two sons: "It's fair, your family doesn't take it."
Sha Wanli said loudly: "Second brother is right, everything can't be justified. For the half-row land, is the price paid by the two families still small?"
One sentence hit everyone's heart, Zhang Laowai's two sons stepped down the donkey to get out of the way, and everyone dispersed after discussing.Sha Wanli continued to plow the land as if nothing had happened, and straightened the furrow that should not have been deviated.
The second lazy man gave Sha Liu a thumbs up: "This is your brother."
Sha Liu, who was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, let out a long sigh of relief: "Who is my brother! That is a man that wolves will be afraid of when they see him."
The second lazy man flattered him and said, "Today I also spoke for you."
Sha Liu smiled and said, "In the future, stay away from me, and be careful that my brother beats you."
Leaving aside the second lazy man who was stunned for a moment, he went forward to chase Sha Wanli.
why?The second lazy man combed his back hair with his hands, and spun around on the ground in a daze.
He got married a year ago and divorced half a year ago.Not long after he got married, he stopped making small troubles and wanted to start a big business, distributing apples to the north.I made some money on the first car, bought a lot of it in a flash, and then sent it to the market, and the market changed, and I lost everything.During the Chinese New Year, there are only potatoes, cabbage and corn grains left in the house.
Before the newlyweds were warmed up, the bride ran away, and he was devastated because of this, so he honestly farmed at home.What happened to Sha Liu's house made him see hope, and he walked around Sha Liu's butt every day, not realizing how much Sha Liu hated him.
Why did Sha Liu dislike her when her cousin came?
In the middle of the afternoon, Sha Liu went home early, bought fish and meat, bought a case of beer, and cooked a table full of vegetables.In the evening, Sha Wanli came back with a cart full of corn in an ox cart, and the two of them packed the corn in the yard into the rice-packing warehouse. Zhuang Hai sat down to eat together after returning home from school.
Sha Liu opened two bottles of beer for Sha Wanli, and Sha Wanli said, "You also know that I don't usually drink, so why buy so much wine?"
Sha Liu said: "You have done a day's work as soon as you get off the train, drink some wine and sleep to relieve fatigue."
Zhuang Hai asked Sha Wanli: "Uncle, when shall we go fishing?"
Sha Wanli stroked Zhuang Hai's little head and said, "Don't think about fishing too much. It's serious to study hard. You will make your mother look good when you go to university in the future." While talking, he poured wine for Sha Liu: "You too Have a drink."
Sha Liu said, "I'm happy today, of course I have to drink."
Full of wine and food, after a day's work, my eyelids are a little heavy and I can't lift them up.Sha Liu boiled hot water, let Sha Wanli wash his hair, soak his feet and wipe his body, and spread a quilt on the bed: "You are exhausted from this day, go to rest early."
Sha Wanli said, "I sleep in the back room."
Sha Liu said: "How can a woman sleep in a hot pit? Zhuang Hai and I sleep in the back room."
After urging Sha Wanli to undress and lie down, he took Zhuang Hai back to the back room.
Sha Wanli fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow, but Salix in the back room was tossing and turning.Old Hetao's willow bushes, the not-so-distant scene is as clear as yesterday, and it still stirs my heart when I think about it.
The big boy who was abandoned by her in the desert back then has grown into a real man today. The masculine breath emanating from him permeates the yard and the room, steaming like steam, ironing her lonely heart. heart of.
Since Zhuang Daming's accident, she was able to lie down and sleep for the first time.
Autumn harvest is the most important event for farmers.From spring to autumn, from green to yellow, from planting to harvesting, after a year of hard work and sweat, we are looking forward to a good harvest, and the autumn harvest has become a rush.
Every morning, Sha Wanli got up early to feed the cattle with fodder, and after breakfast, he put on the ox cart and went to the field first.Sha Liu fed the pigs and chickens, sent Zhuang Haihai to school, and came after him.
After harvesting the corn and apples, and the soybeans and sweet potatoes, it took nearly a month, and everything that should be harvested was received at home, and the grain and grass for the year were all ready before we could settle down.
Shawanli became more and more vigorous as it worked, like harvesting at home. In Shalitun, only autumn did not harvest.The excitement and busyness brought by the autumn harvest made him temporarily forget the pain in his heart.
After the autumn harvest, Sha Wanli decided to go to Shilazi to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou.Before leaving, Sha Liu asked, "If your siblings don't want to come back with you, you have to take Shazhou back, and I'll take care of the children for you."
Sha Wanli came to Shilazi again with mixed feelings, and the old village head was taken aback: "What, Xiuxiu hasn't gone back? Where can this child go? Since she came back last time, she hasn't shown up again." face to face."
Sha Wanli felt a chill, realizing the seriousness of the matter.He searched around the village for the addresses of Shi Xiuxiu's relatives, and searched from house to house, but they all said that he had never seen Shi Xiuxiu.
Forced to do nothing, Sha Wanli could only think about the worst: either run away with someone or be cheated by someone.He reported to the local police station and listed Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou as missing persons.
He posted missing person notices everywhere, and his footprints spread across counties, towns and towns with a radius of hundreds of miles.After searching for more than two months, the money on my body was almost spent, so I had to return disappointed.
Sha Wanli returned to Wulongdi with exhaustion and anxiety all over his body, fell asleep when he got home, and slept for a full day and night before he recovered.
Sha Liu was so distressed that she burst into tears secretly. When she heard that Sha Wanli was going to rent a house, she firmly disagreed: "What kind of house are you renting? You have to buy grain and grass and buy pots and pans. Besides, you are a person's house." Even the kang can’t heat up the rice, and the house can’t be like an ice cellar. Why don’t you stay in my house first, and wait until you have news about your siblings and children.”
Sha Wanli said, "How can I live and eat at your house for free?"
Sha Liu said: "Who told you to eat and live for free? You have to work for me. The two cows at home must be raised by someone? Cut grass and clean the cattle pen. Which one is a woman's work? After you leave, I I built two greenhouses, which were paid for by hiring people to do it. If you have never done it, you don’t know. The work in the greenhouse is no worse than the autumn harvest. I can’t do it alone even if I am exhausted. I'm going to give you a greenhouse, I'll contribute the technology and you contribute the effort, and you'll get half as much as you earn, how about that?"
Sha Wanli scratched his head and said, "It's always inconvenient to live in your house for a long time."
Sha Liu asked with a smile: "It was convenient to do everything in Shalitun, but it's inconvenient if you come here?"
Savanli was easily persuaded.He was afraid of living alone in an empty house, with no heat and no sound of people walking around. Facing the cold walls and frozen air around him, he couldn't feel at home.
In the last year in Shalitun, every time he came back from herding sheep and walked into the village, facing the lifeless Shalitun where he could not even hear a bird cry, he would try his best to make a little movement for himself: yelling loudly to the flock, waving There were a few bangs with the whip.
No matter what you do when you get home, you should first turn on the TV, so that you can see people's shadows and hear people talking.Long periods of silence can sometimes become horrific.
Sha Wanli lived in Sha Liu's house with peace of mind.It will not take a day or two to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou, and it is still unknown whether they can be found. It is useless to think too much, and we can only wait patiently for news from the police.
The solar term has reached three or nine days, and it is not like Shalitun that can freeze people's ears off. The winter is not cold and the summer is not hot. The climate here gives people a mild feeling.
He asked Sha Liu to keep an eye out for anyone selling a house. He took a fancy to this piece of land. As long as you work hard, you won't be forced to work in vain.Regardless of whether he found Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou in the future, he decided that he would never move his nest again.
Busy every day, there are jobs in the warm shed to work with Salix, and no jobs go out to herd cattle. I am familiar with the people and the environment here, and secretly plan the future in my heart.
Even at night, Zhuang Hai finished his homework and would pester Sha Wanli to tell him stories.Zhuang Hai followed his father and was soft-tempered. Sha Wanli told him about wolves in the desert and thrilling war stories, and Zhuang Hai was too addicted before he was willing to sleep.After the winter vacation, he simply proposed to sleep with Sha Wanli.
At that time, the three of them were sitting on the kang watching TV. When this request was made, Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other, they readily agreed.Sha Liu spread Sha Wanli's quilt on the kang, and Zhuang Hai's quilt next to it.
Zhuang Hai happily got into the bed, and had a fight with Sha Wanli, and said to Sha Liu, who was sitting beside him, "Mom, you come to sleep too, it's so lively."
The two were stunned again, Sha Liu smiled and said to Zhuang Hai: "Your uncle won't let mother come to sleep."
Zhuang Hai turned around and asked Sha Wanli: "Uncle, this is my house, why don't you let my mother come to sleep?"
Sha Liu held back her smile and said, "That's right, why is your uncle? You should ask carefully."
Zhuang Hai asked Sha Wanli very seriously: "Uncle, are you also afraid that my mother will pinch you? My father is most afraid that my mother will pinch him in bed."
Tong Yan Wuji, Sha Liu smiled tears and bent over, lying on his son's body with a smile.
Sha Wanli knew that Sha Liu's tears were not from laughter, but from the sadness that came from the bottom of his heart. He knew what Sha Liu needed, and he also knew what Zhuang Hai needed. Why didn't he himself lack too much and needed to make up for it? ?
Living under the same roof, working together and eating in a pot, it is unavoidable to meet each other and look at each other, and the heart is suddenly tense and warm, and each other can feel the warmth brought by the other.
The boundaries in my heart are not very clear. The seeds buried by the wind and sand in Shalitun quietly germinated, but they have not yet met the right temperature and humidity to break through the soil and grow.
Sha Wanli straightened his waist, and said to Sha Liu calmly and naturally: "Come and sleep, let the child be happy."
Zhuang Hai was so excited that he went to bed late, sitting with his mother and uncle at the same time. The same love gave him a healthy sense of security.
The lights went out, and the black and white TV flickered on and off.Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were lying in their respective quilts, looking at me and you through the children. A strong breath and signal, under the heating of the kang, ignited like a pile of dry firewood.
Before the Spring Festival, the vegetables in the greenhouse began to go on the market one after another, and Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were busy again, going to the market or sending them directly to the city for sale.On this day, a vegetable vendor ordered hundreds of catties of leeks, and two people went to the greenhouse to cut the leeks ahead of schedule.
While he was busy, the two lazy men appeared out of nowhere, smelling of alcohol, crawled into the greenhouse as if they were visiting, and said sourly: "These days are very prosperous, we are not a couple. Better than a couple."
Salix, who was tying leeks, didn't even lift her head: "If you can speak human words, just say a few words, if you can't speak human words, shut up your stinky mouth."
The second lazy man curled his mouth and retorted: "Why is it not human? I have investigated everything. Just now I was drinking in the store and met your family Zhuang Hai. I asked him who he slept with at night. He said he slept with his uncle and mother." Together. I asked him if you slept in the middle or on one side? He said you slept in the middle. I asked him again when he woke up in the morning and didn’t sleep on the side? Guess what he said? He said he also felt strange, at night When you sleep, you obviously sleep in the middle, but when you wake up in the morning, you often find yourself sleeping next to the two of you. Can children lie?"
Sha Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said sarcastically: "You are really promising, play with children."
The second lazy man said nonchalantly: "No wonder I usually flatter you so much, and you always ignore it."
Sha Wanli put down the leek sickle in his hand, walked over and slapped the second lazy man on the shoulder, and the second lazy man's body was tilted.
Sha Wanli smiled and said, "Second brother, it doesn't matter to you whether we sleep together or not, and you don't have to worry about anything." He picked up two handfuls of leeks, put them in the hands of the second lazy man and said, "We don't like If you are so leisurely, you will enjoy yourself, and if you don’t have time to chat with you, you should go to the bar for a drink.”
The second lazy man walked out of the warm shed wittily with the leeks, then poked his head in and said: "What cousin, I have already seen that you two are good friends."
Sha Liu grabbed a lump of soil and hit it, laughing and cursing: "Get out."
Sha Wanli squatted down and continued cutting leeks, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the second lazy man was born in this place with good water and soil, and he can make do with his laziness. If he was born in Shalitun, he would either starve to death or freeze to death. "
Sha Liu smiled and said, "It's time to find a way to let Zhuang Hai sleep alone."
Sha Wanli came over to tie up leeks with Sha Liu, and he said, "Didn't you see that Zhuang Hai is quite dependent on me? Don't make Zhuang Hai sad, wait until he grows up."
Sha Liu put down her work, looked at Sha Wanli and said, "What if you find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou in the future? The results are still the same."
She took the opportunity to throw the matter that has been entangled in her heart to Sha Wanli.Although they live together, the relationship between them is vague. From Shalitun to Wulongdi, they went around several circles and finally got together, but in the end they still couldn't become a real husband and wife.
Sha Wanli was silent for a moment, this is a realistic problem that cannot be ignored or avoided.It was impossible for him to give up looking for Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou. If he couldn't find it, Shi Xiuxiu occupied a certain place in his heart. He couldn't give Sha Liu a clear answer, so he could only work hard.
Sha Liu gave Sha Wanli a slight push: "Come on, don't look so sad, as if I forced you on purpose. With you by my side, I'm happy every day, and I don't think about those useless things. At worst, I will marry you in the future." For the two lazy people."
Sha Wanli raised his head and said, "You can figure it out, if you marry Erlao, do you support him or does he support you?"
"One day you pat your ass and leave, there must be a man by my side."
"Then you can't marry the second lazy man."
"What's the matter with the second lazy man? He looks so vigorous, and he is comfortable sleeping with his arms around him. Isn't he just lazy and poor? I raise him. Do you still want to occupy two women?"
Sha Wanli threw the leeks in his hand into Sha Liu's arms, stood up and said, "You are trying to annoy me on purpose, I don't care whoever you want to marry."
Sha Liu was so happy that she sat down on the ground.
After the Spring Festival is the vernal equinox, the weather gets warmer and the ice and snow melt, and the branches of willow trees are light yellow.When Sha Wanli came back from selling vegetables in the city, Sha Liu couldn't wait to drag him to the east of the village to look at the house.
In the east of the village, there are four new tile-roofed houses that have only been built for two years. They are covered inside and out, and the road leading to the city is on the east side. It is convenient to travel.
The key is that this family has moved their household registration to the city. Whoever buys their house can get the ownership of [-] acres of land transferred free of charge, so the housing price is very high.People in Wulongdi have no shortage of land, and they shook their heads when they heard that the house was asking for [-] yuan.
Sha Wanli wanted to get both the house and the land, and he talked with him sincerely, and finally sold it for 5000 yuan.He only had 70 yuan in his hand, and Sha Liu raised [-] yuan. He got the real estate certificate and a [-]-year land contract as he wished.
A distant dream has come true by chance. Sha Wanli patrols his territory like a wild animal.
The thawed ground was moist and soft, and there was a loud noise when the feet stepped on it, and a fresh and warm breath flooded the whole body from the soles of the feet.There is no endless desert here, no wind and sand all over the sky, the seeds planted will not fail, and the sweat shed will not turn into despair.
The 70-year usufruct means that his children and grandchildren will also own this land, which is the most precious piece of wealth that he left to future generations.He walked around the field drunkenly and returned to the yard. He carefully inspected the water well, the pigsty, the chicken pen and even the hut. He always felt that there was still something missing in the yard.
Sha Liu, who finished cleaning the dust, came out of the house and saw Sha Wanli standing in the yard in a daze, so he asked him, "Why are you in a daze?"
Sha Wanli said: "The front and back of this house are empty, is there something missing?"
"Lack of trees. I think you are confused. The family hasn't lived in the house since they built it. They haven't had time to plant trees yet."
"You still understand what I mean, it's the lack of trees. I want to plant cherry, apricot, peach, and jujube trees in the yard, and I can eat fruit from spring to autumn; plant poplars and willows outside the yard, so that there will be shade everywhere. and birdsong."
"You can go to the market to buy fruit tree seedlings. Poplars and willows don't need to be planted. Just cut a thicker branch and insert it directly into the soil to survive."
"It's that simple?"
"You think this is Shalitun. Planting a tree is harder than raising a child."
"It's a pity that it can't be done. I really want to go back to Shalitun and transplant that old walnut tree."
Looking at Sha Wanli, who was full of ambition and excited like a child, Sha Liu was wrinkled and wrinkled with Xiaoxin.She knew that the days of not being a couple were better than a couple were coming to an end, and she was lazy and didn't want to do anything like a lost soul.After dinner, he didn't want to go to the ground, so he lay on the kang directly.
Sha Wanli cleaned up the table, washed the dishes, and then fed the pigs and cows. He didn't go back to the house for a long time after he finished his work, and he didn't know where he went.
Sha Liu was a little worried and went out to look for it, but he couldn't find it in the yard. He guessed that Sha Wanli might have returned to his own home.Came to the east of the village in the dark, and Sha Wanli's house was indeed lit.
Walking into the yard, she stood outside the door and looked, the scene in front of her made her stop involuntarily: on the north wall of the main room there was an altar table and an ancestor's memorial tablet, two red candles danced with dark red flames, three candles in the incense burner. The sticks of incense drifted with wisps of green smoke.
Sha Wanlichang knelt on the ground and burned the paper money. The black ashes from the paper money were accompanied by low and hoarse cries, like gusts of cold wind: "Father, mother, ancestors, you have spirits in the sky, you also move here bring it on"
This is the wailing that has been suppressed for a long time before being released, rough and desolate.Telling the pain in my heart to the gods may be the best relief.
Shaliu stood quietly in the shadows in the yard, as if she saw a lone wolf in the desert howling up to the sky, throwing endless wailing into the night sky.She left with tears in her eyes.
It was near midnight that Sha Wanli returned to Sha Liu's house.Only his own bedding was spread on the kang in the outer room, and Sha Liu and Zhuang Hai were already lying down in the inner room.Sha Wanli vaguely guessed Sha Liu's intentions, and sat on the edge of the kang silently lowering his head.
After a long time, Sha Liu whispered in the back room, "Choose a good day and move out."
"You don't need to choose a date, just tomorrow." Sha Wanli replied in a low voice.
He was afraid that the days would be delayed for a long time, and he would not have the courage to walk out of this house.
The next morning, Sha Liu sent Zhuang Hai to school, bought two red carps and brought back two boxes of matches and a bundle of vermicelli, and accompanied Sha Wanli to his new home.
According to the local folk custom, when moving to a new house, the bottom of the pot must be burnt. These three things are indispensable for the first meal, which means that there will be more than one year of prosperity and a long life.Sooner or later there will be such a day, and Sha Liu is very calm when she is mentally prepared.
Sha Wanli only carried the canvas travel bag with him, which contained mostly clothes of Shi Xiuxiu and Sha Zhou, and an old photo frame full of photos. Sha Liu helped Sha Wanli sort out one by one.
At the bottom of the bag, she saw a black cloth hood, bulging around something.She took it out and asked Sha Wanli: "You don't need a scarf here, what's in it?"
It was too late for Sha Wanli to take it away, Sha Liu untied the scarf, and inside was a pile of blackened walnuts.
Sha Liu grabbed two walnuts, shook them, and said, "Is it from the old walnut tree at the entrance of the village? How many years have you left it, can you still eat it?"
Sha Wanli didn't want to hide it either: "This is what you asked me to keep for you the year you left Shalitun."
After holding back the tears all night, the fountain flowed down like a fountain.Sha Liu beat Sha Wanli fiercely: "You are stupid! Everyone has gone away, leaving you alone, why do you keep it? Keep it if you keep it, why do you let me see it? I have already given up "
The innocence and beauty of the past are hidden in the heart, just like this walnut that has been eroded black by the years, once the hard shell is broken, it still exudes a seductive aroma.
Sha Wanli hugged Sha Liu tightly in his arms, and said softly, "You and Zhuang Hai move here, and I will give you a new home."
No one can say for sure in the days to come, let's cherish what is in front of us.
Sha Liu raised her tearful eyes and said, "I know you're not feeling well."
Sha Wanli wiped away the tears for Sha Liu, and said slowly: "Xiuxiu followed me and gave birth to a child for me at the age of 20. I couldn't let her live a good life. If I didn't find her, I knew her specific situation." Before, I would not divorce her."
Sha Liu no longer shed tears, she said: "I don't want any status, I am satisfied to live with you."
It's not that the days when couples are better than couples are still going on, it's just that the place has changed and the way has changed.
Shawanli buried the walnuts brought from Shalitun in the soil along the wall, not expecting to take root and sprout, but just to complete some kind of spiritual ceremony and give himself some psychological comfort.I never thought that two walnuts had sprouted.
Sha Wanli was ecstatic when he found out, God knows, this is the descendant of the old walnut tree in Shalitun, and his life should not die!He took good care of it, and it grew into a small sapling over one meter high that year.In the second year, he transplanted the two small walnut saplings to both sides of the courtyard gate.
The Institute of Agricultural Sciences came down to promote grape planting technology, and believed that the Wulong land belonged to sandy soil, which was more suitable for the growth of grapes.Sha Wanli felt that the benefits of growing large fields were not high, so the Institute of Agricultural Sciences took the lead in taking a loan from the rural credit unions to plant grape seedlings on all of his [-] mu of land.
At the same time, I accepted the suggestion of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to plant two seasons of vegetables between the grape seedlings, which would neither affect the growth of the grape seedlings nor waste land.
Then he discussed with Sha Liu: "Raising cattle is time-consuming, labor-intensive and waste of fodder, and it is not very useful. It is better to sell those two cattle and raise cashmere goats. I have more experience in raising sheep. The water here is good and the grass is good, and the sheep are not good. A lot, cashmere and wool mutton will definitely sell for a good price."
Sha Liu said with a smile: "You are the head of the family, you have the final say."
Aunt Sha Fufang often patronizes this newly formed family, and she sees the shadow of Sha Fujiu in Sha Wanli.Knowing that the person I once loved was buried in the desert, I cried secretly for a long time.
Seeing the two children finally come together after hardships, he was relieved and gave Sha Liu an idea: he can't live his life in such a vague way.
Not long after, Sha Liu told Sha Wanli that she was pregnant and said that she would definitely give birth to the child for him.
With urgent matters ahead, there is nothing to hesitate.The next day, Sha Wanli rushed back to the township government where Shalitun was located, and dissolved his marriage with Shi Xiuxiu through legal procedures. The household registration was moved from the location to Wulongdi Village.
Running around non-stop, Sha Wanli did not return to Shalitun to take a look. He could imagine what Shalitun would look like.He didn't want to reveal the scabbed pain in his heart anymore, and only regarded himself as a hasty passerby.
The desert wind, sand, severe cold and scorching heat have passed away, and he has left him far behind.
Due to the convenience of transportation due to its proximity to roads, the 5000 acres of vegetables in Shawanli have become a hot commodity.When the last crop of vegetables in autumn was sold out, Sha Wanli returned the [-] yuan that Sha Liu had paid in advance when buying the house. Sha Liu said, "Now we still divide it between you and me?"
Sha Wanli said: "The money in your hand is left to you and Zhuang Hai by your brother-in-law. I won't use a penny. You keep it and spend it on Zhuang Hai later. I can support you two, no, three. "
Sha Liu did not discuss it with Sha Wanli, and used the 5000 yuan to replace the home with a color TV and install a telephone on her own initiative.She said to Sha Wanli: "With a phone, it will be convenient to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou. I won't worry if you don't have to run from north to south."
Sha Wanli's first phone call was to the local police in Shilazi, who told him that there was no clue about Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou yet.Hope and disappointment were mixed, he was more willing to believe that Shi Xiuxiu left him on her own initiative, rather than being trafficked.
In the spring of the next year, when the green and fluffy leaves of the poplar trees made a pleasant rustling sound under the gentle spring breeze, their daughter was born.
Sha Wanli held his daughter in his arms and called again and again, looking for the phone number of the steel factory where Dong Jialin worked, looking for Dong Jialin.Although there was an agreement not to contact him any more, missing his comrades prompted him to tell him his new address. After all, having a phone call is much more convenient than writing a letter.
One of Dong Jialin's colleagues called him back and told him: Dong Jialin became an electrician after demobilization. Last year, during a maintenance operation, he was burned by a high-voltage arc because of someone else's misoperation.In the emergency room of the hospital, taking advantage of the doctors and nurses not paying attention at night, he unplugged all the rescue equipment by himself, leaving behind his two-year-old wife and one-year-old son.
Putting down the phone, Sha Wanli found the photo taken with Dong Jialin back then, looked at the young and energetic face for a long time, and recalled the three years of training and duty together.
He couldn't imagine what kind of despair a cheerful and open-minded person would face before giving up his life.
Life is a flowing river, no matter how smooth the torrent is, it does not stagnate because of the river's curved silt, whether it is clear or turbid, it is always whirling and rushing.
In the first year when Wulong land was merged into the overall demolition of the development zone, Zhuang Hai was admitted to university, which can be described as double happiness.Sha Wanli bought a laptop and gave it to Zhuang Hai. He patted Zhuang Hai on the shoulder and said, "You're a promising kid. You can't forget your mother when you get married and start a business."
Sha Liu said, "Don't forget uncle."
Zhuang Hai said: "Of course. I also know what my uncle is thinking. If I post on the Internet, I will definitely find my brother."
Sha Wanli agreed with a "hmm".
Zhuang Hai asked: "Is my brother going to high school?"
Sha Wanli sighed softly: "If you have the opportunity to study, you should go to high school."
If Sha Wanli had always hoped to find Shi Xiuxiu and Sha Zhou, then he would never have thought that Sha Zhou would kick him face to face and kick him directly to the hospital.
Thinking of this, in front of the two women, he suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason, making the two women more nervous and at a loss.
He looked at Sha Liu, still complaining to Shi Xiuxiu with a smile: "Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you go to the police station to pick up your son."
(End of this chapter)
After two years, Sha Wanli entered Wulongdi Village again.
The land in front of me was being harvested, and the crops were laid down in pieces, covering the ground with golden yellow.People were busy in the fields, and the village seemed extremely quiet.
The courtyard door of Shaliu's house was also locked tightly. Through the courtyard door, one could see the ears of corn piled up in the yard that had not yet been warehoused. It seemed that the family was also busy in the field.Sha Wanli turned around and left the village, looking for Salix in a crowded place.
A man in a field was leisurely herding two cows. Sha Wanli stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I'm asking you for someone."
The man was wearing a clean white shirt, revealing a white body like an old woman, squinting at Sha Wanli, and said rather dissatisfied: "Who is your elder brother?"
Sha Wanli said in his heart that he was not happy to call out to the elder brother, so he didn't know what to do.
The man said again: "Everyone in the village calls me Second Brother."
Sha Wanli smiled and said, "Second brother, do you know where Sha Liu is?"
The second brother looked Sha Wanli up and down and asked, "Who are you to her?"
Sha Wanli said, "I am her cousin."
The second brother was overjoyed at once, and immediately changed into a pleasing expression: "It's brother. You see, these two cows belong to her family. She is cutting corn in the field, so I put aside my own work and let her go." Niu, is that interesting enough?"
Sha Wanli has a ghost in his heart, why is there no one in Sha Liu's house to herd cattle?He didn't care about chatting with the second brother, and walked along the ditch, and when he got closer, he saw that Sha Liu was burying his head and waving a sickle alone.
Other people's corn has been cut down, and only hers are left standing in the ground.
Sha Wanli stood behind Sha Liu and called out "Sister."
Sha Liu stopped the sickle in her hand, straightened her waist and turned around slowly.Grass leaves were stained on the messy hair, black lines were drawn on the face with sweat, one hand beat the sore waist, and forced a smile: "Why did you come here this year? I thought you wouldn't come."
Sha Wanli noticed that Sha Liu had visibly lost weight and looked tired. He said, "I won't leave this time."
He took off the canvas travel bag on his back and put it on the corn stalks, took the sickle from Sha Liu's hand and buried himself in work.
Sha Liu wiped the sweat off her face, and her face immediately became dazed. She asked, "Where are the siblings and children?"
Sha Wanli didn't stop what he was doing, but just said, "I didn't find it."
Sha Liu was taken aback.Near noon, the corn was cut down, and she also knew what happened in Shalitun, and she sighed secretly: this is fate!
She said to Sha Wanli: "You stay at my house first, and we will look for it later."
Tears had washed his face clean.
The two returned to the field the same way. Sha Liu saw that her two oxen were held by her second brother, she stepped forward and grabbed the reins and said, "I tied the oxen to the field, who told you to untie them?"
The second elder brother shyly said, "How can you be full if you are tied to the ground, I will put it for you for a while."
"As long as you can eat enough, don't touch my cows in the future." Sha Liu said bluntly, leading the cows and leaving.
Sha Wanli looked back at his second brother, and said to Sha Liu, "This man is quite interesting, I must call him the second brother."
Sha Liu said: "He is a famous second lazy man in our village, he is so shameless."
When he got home, Sha Wanli tied up the cattle and followed Sha Liu into the house. He didn't see Zhuang Daming, so he asked, "Where's brother-in-law?"
Sha Liu, who was washing her face, buried her face in the basin, but couldn't hold back her sobbing, and said with a choked voice, "Your brother-in-law is gone."
It happened in the spring of this year.At the beginning of spring, the land in the village was readjusted, and the contract was changed from ten years to 70 years. The land of Sha Liu's family was divided with that of Zhang Laowai's family.
When pulling out the seedlings, Sha Liu found that the living ridges of the two families were obviously biased towards their own side. The ridge of their own family became narrower, and the ridge of the neighboring Zhang Laowai's house became wider, which is equivalent to Zhang Laowai's Occupied half a row of land in his home.
When I went home and told Zhuang Daming, Zhuang Daming said disdainfully: "Zhang Laowai is born to be a greedy person, he can't live if he doesn't try to take advantage of it."
The two were quarreling, and Sha Liu hadn't let him touch for more than a month, so he took the opportunity to tell another story about Zhang Laowai, which made Sha Liu happy to ease the conflict.
When I was still in the production team, one year the village slaughtered an old heifer and planned to distribute some meat to each household.Everyone else went to work, but Zhang Laowai was wandering around the case of killing cattle.
The captain asked him, "Why are you wandering around if you don't go to work?"
Zhang Laowai pointed to a pool of things that were meat and not meat, and water and not water, and asked the captain: "Throwing away is nothing, can you give me that little thing?"
The captain smiled and said, "If you can eat it, I will give it to you."
Afterwards, when the villagers saw Zhang Laowai, they asked, "How does it taste? It must be very special."
Zhang Laowai was very unhappy: "The captain is really not mean, I ate some beef and advertised it everywhere, it's still a piece of meat anyway."
Everyone is so happy: "Don't get cheap and act like a good boy."
Sha Liu smiled, but after smiling, her face turned cold: "You are so narrow-minded, you are not as good as Zhang Laowai."
At the beginning of spring, Sha Liu accidentally mentioned while cooking, it has been two years, why hasn't Sha Wanli come?If no one comes, there should be a letter.
Zhuang Daming glanced at her sideways: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you still can't forget it when you are far away. The relationship between cousins and cousins is really deep."
Sha Liu didn't care, and said haha: "How deep do you say? Is it as deep as a tank or as deep as a well?"
Zhuang Daming finally said what he had been holding back for two years: "Who knows what kind of relationship you have before? I'm afraid it's because wolves eat grass and have donkeys' thoughts when they came all the way to see you.
This sentence annoyed Sha Liu, and he poured a ladle of cold water on his head: "If you suspect that we are not getting along, you should just get a divorce."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was startled, and I had a good life, but how could I have such an idea?When did you have it?The two moved their hands, and Sha Liu was slapped black-eyed.Leave as soon as you leave, Sha Liu thought to herself, a household registration with five ridges of land is not afraid of anything.
When it came to divorce, Zhuang Daming was discouraged.
When he was on the spring ridge, Mr. Zhang was so crooked that he plowed the half ridge of Shaliu's house in one fell swoop, and all the corn seedlings in that ridge showed their roots.
This time, Sha Liu would never give in again. She asked Zhang Laowai: "Are your eyes crooked or slanted? Last time you didn't care about it, you think we are easy to bully, don't you?"
Zhang Laowai said: "My eyes are not crooked or slanted, it's because the cow has gone astray."
Zhuang Daming calmly persuaded Sha Liu: "Forget it, let's not be as knowledgeable as him. Let alone half a row of land, if you give him a whole row of land, can he still make a fortune in this life?"
Sha Liu said, "Whatever? You let him take another foot for every inch."
Five ridges and one mu of land, half a ridge is a piece of land, why let him take it for no reason?In Shalitun, every head can get half of the arable land. How could Salix give in so easily?
Zhang Laowai opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I didn't occupy your land. What can I do if the cattle go astray? It's normal for big and small ridges."
Sha Liu became anxious, and said without hesitation: "You can even eat beef B, what else can't you do? You just deliberately took advantage of it."
At that time, there were many people watching, including Zhang Laowai's two daughters-in-law.All of a sudden, Zhang's crooked old face was exposed in front of everyone, and he pointed at Sha Liu angrily and said viciously: "You are an old woman, or I will slap your mouth."
Sha Liu is not afraid of this, she stretched her face directly over: "Hit me and see."
Sha Liu slammed into it, and stretched out her hands to scratch a few bloodstains on Zhang Laowai's face.Zhang Laowai wiped his face and kicked Sha Liu to the ground.
Seeing this scene, no matter how honest people are, they will not be indifferent.Zhuang Daming swung the whip in his hand, and with a crisp "snap", a bloody gash was drawn on Zhang Laowai's neck.
Seeing the blood, Zhang Laowai's eyes turned red, he grabbed a shovel and threw it at Zhuang Daming fiercely, right on the head of Zhuang Daming.
All this happened so suddenly that everyone had no time to step forward to stop them. They watched Zhuang Daming slowly fall down with his head covered. He was sent to the hospital but failed to be rescued. Zhang Laowai was also sentenced to death with a suspended execution.
Afterwards, Zhuang Daming's parents and brothers accused Sha Liu of causing Zhuang Daming's death for causing trouble in the half-row land, and asked for the house they got when they got married and the savings from their current family.
Aunt accompanied Sha Liu and led Zhuang Hai from the village to the township. In the end, the relevant departments of the township came forward to mediate and transferred the four tile-roofed houses to Zhuang Hai's name, and the rest were inherited by Sha Liu, mother and son. It's over.
Zhang Laowai's family hated Sha Liu even more.His two sons are not good enemies either. After the two families formed a deadly feud, they changed their methods to deal with Shaliu.Either a chicken was lost, or the glass was smashed in the middle of the night, or a large area of immature crops was cut down in the field.
Knowing who did it, but suffering from no evidence, Sha Liu could only swallow tears in her stomach, secretly suffering from being dumb.
Hearing Sha Liu's cry, Sha Wanli punched heavily on the edge of the kang: "With me here, let's see who dares to bully you again."
Only he can understand why Sha Liu is willing to compete with others for half a row of land. If it were him, he would not give up.
When Zhuang Hai returned home from school, the little boy who had just entered the first grade was timid when he saw strangers because he lost his father.
Sha Wanli picked up Zhuang Hai on his lap and asked, "Don't you know uncle?"
Zhuang Hai said timidly, "Forgot."
Sha Wanli deliberately made Zhuang Hai happy: "Don't laugh at Uncle, Uncle has never fished since he was so old, why don't you take Uncle to fish in the river on Sunday?"
Zhuang Hai was amused this time: "I know how to fish, no one else has caught as much as I have. Have you really never fished?"
One lost his son, the other lost his father, the old and the young quickly became intimate, and Sha Liu also showed a long-lost smile on his face.
After lunch, Zhuanghai left school, Sha Wanli hitched the ox cart and carried the plow onto the cart.Sha Liu realized what Sha Wanli was going to do, she stopped Sha Wanli and said, "Let's not argue, sister is really scared, and I don't want you to have any accidents."
Sha Wanli said with a smile: "This matter must be settled, and it cannot be entangled endlessly. Don't worry, I know it well, and I won't be irrational."
Driving the bullock cart to the field, Sha Liu pointed to the controversial ditches for Sha Wanli to look at.The boundary stone that was erected when the land was divided was still there, but the ditch deviated from the boundary stone and took up half of the land of Shaliu's family.
Sha Liu whispered to Sha Wanli that the people working in the field beside him were Zhang Laowai's son and daughter-in-law.
Sha Wanli glanced at it and said loudly on purpose: "It seems that this is not because the cow has gone astray, but because people's hearts have gone astray."
He unloaded the ox from the cart, put it on the plow, and swung the whip at the boundary stone to plow down.The second lazy man ran to watch the excitement, stood beside Sha Liu and said, "How can there be plowing land in autumn?"
Sha Liu nervously watched every move of Zhang Laowai's family, so she couldn't care less about the lazy man.
Before plowing far, Zhang Laowai's two sons stopped the cattle, surrounded Sha Wanli from left to right and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Sha Wanli said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is to have peace of mind."
Zhang Laowai's two sons rolled up their arms and sleeves, and said aggressively, "Who do you think is not at ease?"
Seeing that the conflict broke out again, the villagers working in the field surrounded them.We all know that Zhang Laowai's family is not easy to mess with, and they just don't want to stand up and meddle in their own business.
Sha Liu stood in front of Sha Wanli, and was pulled behind him by Sha Wanli, still smiling: "If you are not righteous, you will not be right. It seems that this posture is about to use force, and I will accompany you at any time. However, I still advise you to calm down first." Come down, think about the consequences before talking."
Sha Wanli's calm and calm demeanor completely suppressed Zhang Laowai's two sons.They had never seen Zhu'er fighting with a smile on his face before, and this time they encountered a hard problem, and gradually became a little discouraged.
The second lazy man got the courage out of nowhere, stood up and said to Zhang Laowai's two sons: "It's fair, your family doesn't take it."
Sha Wanli said loudly: "Second brother is right, everything can't be justified. For the half-row land, is the price paid by the two families still small?"
One sentence hit everyone's heart, Zhang Laowai's two sons stepped down the donkey to get out of the way, and everyone dispersed after discussing.Sha Wanli continued to plow the land as if nothing had happened, and straightened the furrow that should not have been deviated.
The second lazy man gave Sha Liu a thumbs up: "This is your brother."
Sha Liu, who was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, let out a long sigh of relief: "Who is my brother! That is a man that wolves will be afraid of when they see him."
The second lazy man flattered him and said, "Today I also spoke for you."
Sha Liu smiled and said, "In the future, stay away from me, and be careful that my brother beats you."
Leaving aside the second lazy man who was stunned for a moment, he went forward to chase Sha Wanli.
why?The second lazy man combed his back hair with his hands, and spun around on the ground in a daze.
He got married a year ago and divorced half a year ago.Not long after he got married, he stopped making small troubles and wanted to start a big business, distributing apples to the north.I made some money on the first car, bought a lot of it in a flash, and then sent it to the market, and the market changed, and I lost everything.During the Chinese New Year, there are only potatoes, cabbage and corn grains left in the house.
Before the newlyweds were warmed up, the bride ran away, and he was devastated because of this, so he honestly farmed at home.What happened to Sha Liu's house made him see hope, and he walked around Sha Liu's butt every day, not realizing how much Sha Liu hated him.
Why did Sha Liu dislike her when her cousin came?
In the middle of the afternoon, Sha Liu went home early, bought fish and meat, bought a case of beer, and cooked a table full of vegetables.In the evening, Sha Wanli came back with a cart full of corn in an ox cart, and the two of them packed the corn in the yard into the rice-packing warehouse. Zhuang Hai sat down to eat together after returning home from school.
Sha Liu opened two bottles of beer for Sha Wanli, and Sha Wanli said, "You also know that I don't usually drink, so why buy so much wine?"
Sha Liu said: "You have done a day's work as soon as you get off the train, drink some wine and sleep to relieve fatigue."
Zhuang Hai asked Sha Wanli: "Uncle, when shall we go fishing?"
Sha Wanli stroked Zhuang Hai's little head and said, "Don't think about fishing too much. It's serious to study hard. You will make your mother look good when you go to university in the future." While talking, he poured wine for Sha Liu: "You too Have a drink."
Sha Liu said, "I'm happy today, of course I have to drink."
Full of wine and food, after a day's work, my eyelids are a little heavy and I can't lift them up.Sha Liu boiled hot water, let Sha Wanli wash his hair, soak his feet and wipe his body, and spread a quilt on the bed: "You are exhausted from this day, go to rest early."
Sha Wanli said, "I sleep in the back room."
Sha Liu said: "How can a woman sleep in a hot pit? Zhuang Hai and I sleep in the back room."
After urging Sha Wanli to undress and lie down, he took Zhuang Hai back to the back room.
Sha Wanli fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow, but Salix in the back room was tossing and turning.Old Hetao's willow bushes, the not-so-distant scene is as clear as yesterday, and it still stirs my heart when I think about it.
The big boy who was abandoned by her in the desert back then has grown into a real man today. The masculine breath emanating from him permeates the yard and the room, steaming like steam, ironing her lonely heart. heart of.
Since Zhuang Daming's accident, she was able to lie down and sleep for the first time.
Autumn harvest is the most important event for farmers.From spring to autumn, from green to yellow, from planting to harvesting, after a year of hard work and sweat, we are looking forward to a good harvest, and the autumn harvest has become a rush.
Every morning, Sha Wanli got up early to feed the cattle with fodder, and after breakfast, he put on the ox cart and went to the field first.Sha Liu fed the pigs and chickens, sent Zhuang Haihai to school, and came after him.
After harvesting the corn and apples, and the soybeans and sweet potatoes, it took nearly a month, and everything that should be harvested was received at home, and the grain and grass for the year were all ready before we could settle down.
Shawanli became more and more vigorous as it worked, like harvesting at home. In Shalitun, only autumn did not harvest.The excitement and busyness brought by the autumn harvest made him temporarily forget the pain in his heart.
After the autumn harvest, Sha Wanli decided to go to Shilazi to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou.Before leaving, Sha Liu asked, "If your siblings don't want to come back with you, you have to take Shazhou back, and I'll take care of the children for you."
Sha Wanli came to Shilazi again with mixed feelings, and the old village head was taken aback: "What, Xiuxiu hasn't gone back? Where can this child go? Since she came back last time, she hasn't shown up again." face to face."
Sha Wanli felt a chill, realizing the seriousness of the matter.He searched around the village for the addresses of Shi Xiuxiu's relatives, and searched from house to house, but they all said that he had never seen Shi Xiuxiu.
Forced to do nothing, Sha Wanli could only think about the worst: either run away with someone or be cheated by someone.He reported to the local police station and listed Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou as missing persons.
He posted missing person notices everywhere, and his footprints spread across counties, towns and towns with a radius of hundreds of miles.After searching for more than two months, the money on my body was almost spent, so I had to return disappointed.
Sha Wanli returned to Wulongdi with exhaustion and anxiety all over his body, fell asleep when he got home, and slept for a full day and night before he recovered.
Sha Liu was so distressed that she burst into tears secretly. When she heard that Sha Wanli was going to rent a house, she firmly disagreed: "What kind of house are you renting? You have to buy grain and grass and buy pots and pans. Besides, you are a person's house." Even the kang can’t heat up the rice, and the house can’t be like an ice cellar. Why don’t you stay in my house first, and wait until you have news about your siblings and children.”
Sha Wanli said, "How can I live and eat at your house for free?"
Sha Liu said: "Who told you to eat and live for free? You have to work for me. The two cows at home must be raised by someone? Cut grass and clean the cattle pen. Which one is a woman's work? After you leave, I I built two greenhouses, which were paid for by hiring people to do it. If you have never done it, you don’t know. The work in the greenhouse is no worse than the autumn harvest. I can’t do it alone even if I am exhausted. I'm going to give you a greenhouse, I'll contribute the technology and you contribute the effort, and you'll get half as much as you earn, how about that?"
Sha Wanli scratched his head and said, "It's always inconvenient to live in your house for a long time."
Sha Liu asked with a smile: "It was convenient to do everything in Shalitun, but it's inconvenient if you come here?"
Savanli was easily persuaded.He was afraid of living alone in an empty house, with no heat and no sound of people walking around. Facing the cold walls and frozen air around him, he couldn't feel at home.
In the last year in Shalitun, every time he came back from herding sheep and walked into the village, facing the lifeless Shalitun where he could not even hear a bird cry, he would try his best to make a little movement for himself: yelling loudly to the flock, waving There were a few bangs with the whip.
No matter what you do when you get home, you should first turn on the TV, so that you can see people's shadows and hear people talking.Long periods of silence can sometimes become horrific.
Sha Wanli lived in Sha Liu's house with peace of mind.It will not take a day or two to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou, and it is still unknown whether they can be found. It is useless to think too much, and we can only wait patiently for news from the police.
The solar term has reached three or nine days, and it is not like Shalitun that can freeze people's ears off. The winter is not cold and the summer is not hot. The climate here gives people a mild feeling.
He asked Sha Liu to keep an eye out for anyone selling a house. He took a fancy to this piece of land. As long as you work hard, you won't be forced to work in vain.Regardless of whether he found Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou in the future, he decided that he would never move his nest again.
Busy every day, there are jobs in the warm shed to work with Salix, and no jobs go out to herd cattle. I am familiar with the people and the environment here, and secretly plan the future in my heart.
Even at night, Zhuang Hai finished his homework and would pester Sha Wanli to tell him stories.Zhuang Hai followed his father and was soft-tempered. Sha Wanli told him about wolves in the desert and thrilling war stories, and Zhuang Hai was too addicted before he was willing to sleep.After the winter vacation, he simply proposed to sleep with Sha Wanli.
At that time, the three of them were sitting on the kang watching TV. When this request was made, Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other, they readily agreed.Sha Liu spread Sha Wanli's quilt on the kang, and Zhuang Hai's quilt next to it.
Zhuang Hai happily got into the bed, and had a fight with Sha Wanli, and said to Sha Liu, who was sitting beside him, "Mom, you come to sleep too, it's so lively."
The two were stunned again, Sha Liu smiled and said to Zhuang Hai: "Your uncle won't let mother come to sleep."
Zhuang Hai turned around and asked Sha Wanli: "Uncle, this is my house, why don't you let my mother come to sleep?"
Sha Liu held back her smile and said, "That's right, why is your uncle? You should ask carefully."
Zhuang Hai asked Sha Wanli very seriously: "Uncle, are you also afraid that my mother will pinch you? My father is most afraid that my mother will pinch him in bed."
Tong Yan Wuji, Sha Liu smiled tears and bent over, lying on his son's body with a smile.
Sha Wanli knew that Sha Liu's tears were not from laughter, but from the sadness that came from the bottom of his heart. He knew what Sha Liu needed, and he also knew what Zhuang Hai needed. Why didn't he himself lack too much and needed to make up for it? ?
Living under the same roof, working together and eating in a pot, it is unavoidable to meet each other and look at each other, and the heart is suddenly tense and warm, and each other can feel the warmth brought by the other.
The boundaries in my heart are not very clear. The seeds buried by the wind and sand in Shalitun quietly germinated, but they have not yet met the right temperature and humidity to break through the soil and grow.
Sha Wanli straightened his waist, and said to Sha Liu calmly and naturally: "Come and sleep, let the child be happy."
Zhuang Hai was so excited that he went to bed late, sitting with his mother and uncle at the same time. The same love gave him a healthy sense of security.
The lights went out, and the black and white TV flickered on and off.Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were lying in their respective quilts, looking at me and you through the children. A strong breath and signal, under the heating of the kang, ignited like a pile of dry firewood.
Before the Spring Festival, the vegetables in the greenhouse began to go on the market one after another, and Sha Wanli and Sha Liu were busy again, going to the market or sending them directly to the city for sale.On this day, a vegetable vendor ordered hundreds of catties of leeks, and two people went to the greenhouse to cut the leeks ahead of schedule.
While he was busy, the two lazy men appeared out of nowhere, smelling of alcohol, crawled into the greenhouse as if they were visiting, and said sourly: "These days are very prosperous, we are not a couple. Better than a couple."
Salix, who was tying leeks, didn't even lift her head: "If you can speak human words, just say a few words, if you can't speak human words, shut up your stinky mouth."
The second lazy man curled his mouth and retorted: "Why is it not human? I have investigated everything. Just now I was drinking in the store and met your family Zhuang Hai. I asked him who he slept with at night. He said he slept with his uncle and mother." Together. I asked him if you slept in the middle or on one side? He said you slept in the middle. I asked him again when he woke up in the morning and didn’t sleep on the side? Guess what he said? He said he also felt strange, at night When you sleep, you obviously sleep in the middle, but when you wake up in the morning, you often find yourself sleeping next to the two of you. Can children lie?"
Sha Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said sarcastically: "You are really promising, play with children."
The second lazy man said nonchalantly: "No wonder I usually flatter you so much, and you always ignore it."
Sha Wanli put down the leek sickle in his hand, walked over and slapped the second lazy man on the shoulder, and the second lazy man's body was tilted.
Sha Wanli smiled and said, "Second brother, it doesn't matter to you whether we sleep together or not, and you don't have to worry about anything." He picked up two handfuls of leeks, put them in the hands of the second lazy man and said, "We don't like If you are so leisurely, you will enjoy yourself, and if you don’t have time to chat with you, you should go to the bar for a drink.”
The second lazy man walked out of the warm shed wittily with the leeks, then poked his head in and said: "What cousin, I have already seen that you two are good friends."
Sha Liu grabbed a lump of soil and hit it, laughing and cursing: "Get out."
Sha Wanli squatted down and continued cutting leeks, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the second lazy man was born in this place with good water and soil, and he can make do with his laziness. If he was born in Shalitun, he would either starve to death or freeze to death. "
Sha Liu smiled and said, "It's time to find a way to let Zhuang Hai sleep alone."
Sha Wanli came over to tie up leeks with Sha Liu, and he said, "Didn't you see that Zhuang Hai is quite dependent on me? Don't make Zhuang Hai sad, wait until he grows up."
Sha Liu put down her work, looked at Sha Wanli and said, "What if you find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou in the future? The results are still the same."
She took the opportunity to throw the matter that has been entangled in her heart to Sha Wanli.Although they live together, the relationship between them is vague. From Shalitun to Wulongdi, they went around several circles and finally got together, but in the end they still couldn't become a real husband and wife.
Sha Wanli was silent for a moment, this is a realistic problem that cannot be ignored or avoided.It was impossible for him to give up looking for Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou. If he couldn't find it, Shi Xiuxiu occupied a certain place in his heart. He couldn't give Sha Liu a clear answer, so he could only work hard.
Sha Liu gave Sha Wanli a slight push: "Come on, don't look so sad, as if I forced you on purpose. With you by my side, I'm happy every day, and I don't think about those useless things. At worst, I will marry you in the future." For the two lazy people."
Sha Wanli raised his head and said, "You can figure it out, if you marry Erlao, do you support him or does he support you?"
"One day you pat your ass and leave, there must be a man by my side."
"Then you can't marry the second lazy man."
"What's the matter with the second lazy man? He looks so vigorous, and he is comfortable sleeping with his arms around him. Isn't he just lazy and poor? I raise him. Do you still want to occupy two women?"
Sha Wanli threw the leeks in his hand into Sha Liu's arms, stood up and said, "You are trying to annoy me on purpose, I don't care whoever you want to marry."
Sha Liu was so happy that she sat down on the ground.
After the Spring Festival is the vernal equinox, the weather gets warmer and the ice and snow melt, and the branches of willow trees are light yellow.When Sha Wanli came back from selling vegetables in the city, Sha Liu couldn't wait to drag him to the east of the village to look at the house.
In the east of the village, there are four new tile-roofed houses that have only been built for two years. They are covered inside and out, and the road leading to the city is on the east side. It is convenient to travel.
The key is that this family has moved their household registration to the city. Whoever buys their house can get the ownership of [-] acres of land transferred free of charge, so the housing price is very high.People in Wulongdi have no shortage of land, and they shook their heads when they heard that the house was asking for [-] yuan.
Sha Wanli wanted to get both the house and the land, and he talked with him sincerely, and finally sold it for 5000 yuan.He only had 70 yuan in his hand, and Sha Liu raised [-] yuan. He got the real estate certificate and a [-]-year land contract as he wished.
A distant dream has come true by chance. Sha Wanli patrols his territory like a wild animal.
The thawed ground was moist and soft, and there was a loud noise when the feet stepped on it, and a fresh and warm breath flooded the whole body from the soles of the feet.There is no endless desert here, no wind and sand all over the sky, the seeds planted will not fail, and the sweat shed will not turn into despair.
The 70-year usufruct means that his children and grandchildren will also own this land, which is the most precious piece of wealth that he left to future generations.He walked around the field drunkenly and returned to the yard. He carefully inspected the water well, the pigsty, the chicken pen and even the hut. He always felt that there was still something missing in the yard.
Sha Liu, who finished cleaning the dust, came out of the house and saw Sha Wanli standing in the yard in a daze, so he asked him, "Why are you in a daze?"
Sha Wanli said: "The front and back of this house are empty, is there something missing?"
"Lack of trees. I think you are confused. The family hasn't lived in the house since they built it. They haven't had time to plant trees yet."
"You still understand what I mean, it's the lack of trees. I want to plant cherry, apricot, peach, and jujube trees in the yard, and I can eat fruit from spring to autumn; plant poplars and willows outside the yard, so that there will be shade everywhere. and birdsong."
"You can go to the market to buy fruit tree seedlings. Poplars and willows don't need to be planted. Just cut a thicker branch and insert it directly into the soil to survive."
"It's that simple?"
"You think this is Shalitun. Planting a tree is harder than raising a child."
"It's a pity that it can't be done. I really want to go back to Shalitun and transplant that old walnut tree."
Looking at Sha Wanli, who was full of ambition and excited like a child, Sha Liu was wrinkled and wrinkled with Xiaoxin.She knew that the days of not being a couple were better than a couple were coming to an end, and she was lazy and didn't want to do anything like a lost soul.After dinner, he didn't want to go to the ground, so he lay on the kang directly.
Sha Wanli cleaned up the table, washed the dishes, and then fed the pigs and cows. He didn't go back to the house for a long time after he finished his work, and he didn't know where he went.
Sha Liu was a little worried and went out to look for it, but he couldn't find it in the yard. He guessed that Sha Wanli might have returned to his own home.Came to the east of the village in the dark, and Sha Wanli's house was indeed lit.
Walking into the yard, she stood outside the door and looked, the scene in front of her made her stop involuntarily: on the north wall of the main room there was an altar table and an ancestor's memorial tablet, two red candles danced with dark red flames, three candles in the incense burner. The sticks of incense drifted with wisps of green smoke.
Sha Wanlichang knelt on the ground and burned the paper money. The black ashes from the paper money were accompanied by low and hoarse cries, like gusts of cold wind: "Father, mother, ancestors, you have spirits in the sky, you also move here bring it on"
This is the wailing that has been suppressed for a long time before being released, rough and desolate.Telling the pain in my heart to the gods may be the best relief.
Shaliu stood quietly in the shadows in the yard, as if she saw a lone wolf in the desert howling up to the sky, throwing endless wailing into the night sky.She left with tears in her eyes.
It was near midnight that Sha Wanli returned to Sha Liu's house.Only his own bedding was spread on the kang in the outer room, and Sha Liu and Zhuang Hai were already lying down in the inner room.Sha Wanli vaguely guessed Sha Liu's intentions, and sat on the edge of the kang silently lowering his head.
After a long time, Sha Liu whispered in the back room, "Choose a good day and move out."
"You don't need to choose a date, just tomorrow." Sha Wanli replied in a low voice.
He was afraid that the days would be delayed for a long time, and he would not have the courage to walk out of this house.
The next morning, Sha Liu sent Zhuang Hai to school, bought two red carps and brought back two boxes of matches and a bundle of vermicelli, and accompanied Sha Wanli to his new home.
According to the local folk custom, when moving to a new house, the bottom of the pot must be burnt. These three things are indispensable for the first meal, which means that there will be more than one year of prosperity and a long life.Sooner or later there will be such a day, and Sha Liu is very calm when she is mentally prepared.
Sha Wanli only carried the canvas travel bag with him, which contained mostly clothes of Shi Xiuxiu and Sha Zhou, and an old photo frame full of photos. Sha Liu helped Sha Wanli sort out one by one.
At the bottom of the bag, she saw a black cloth hood, bulging around something.She took it out and asked Sha Wanli: "You don't need a scarf here, what's in it?"
It was too late for Sha Wanli to take it away, Sha Liu untied the scarf, and inside was a pile of blackened walnuts.
Sha Liu grabbed two walnuts, shook them, and said, "Is it from the old walnut tree at the entrance of the village? How many years have you left it, can you still eat it?"
Sha Wanli didn't want to hide it either: "This is what you asked me to keep for you the year you left Shalitun."
After holding back the tears all night, the fountain flowed down like a fountain.Sha Liu beat Sha Wanli fiercely: "You are stupid! Everyone has gone away, leaving you alone, why do you keep it? Keep it if you keep it, why do you let me see it? I have already given up "
The innocence and beauty of the past are hidden in the heart, just like this walnut that has been eroded black by the years, once the hard shell is broken, it still exudes a seductive aroma.
Sha Wanli hugged Sha Liu tightly in his arms, and said softly, "You and Zhuang Hai move here, and I will give you a new home."
No one can say for sure in the days to come, let's cherish what is in front of us.
Sha Liu raised her tearful eyes and said, "I know you're not feeling well."
Sha Wanli wiped away the tears for Sha Liu, and said slowly: "Xiuxiu followed me and gave birth to a child for me at the age of 20. I couldn't let her live a good life. If I didn't find her, I knew her specific situation." Before, I would not divorce her."
Sha Liu no longer shed tears, she said: "I don't want any status, I am satisfied to live with you."
It's not that the days when couples are better than couples are still going on, it's just that the place has changed and the way has changed.
Shawanli buried the walnuts brought from Shalitun in the soil along the wall, not expecting to take root and sprout, but just to complete some kind of spiritual ceremony and give himself some psychological comfort.I never thought that two walnuts had sprouted.
Sha Wanli was ecstatic when he found out, God knows, this is the descendant of the old walnut tree in Shalitun, and his life should not die!He took good care of it, and it grew into a small sapling over one meter high that year.In the second year, he transplanted the two small walnut saplings to both sides of the courtyard gate.
The Institute of Agricultural Sciences came down to promote grape planting technology, and believed that the Wulong land belonged to sandy soil, which was more suitable for the growth of grapes.Sha Wanli felt that the benefits of growing large fields were not high, so the Institute of Agricultural Sciences took the lead in taking a loan from the rural credit unions to plant grape seedlings on all of his [-] mu of land.
At the same time, I accepted the suggestion of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to plant two seasons of vegetables between the grape seedlings, which would neither affect the growth of the grape seedlings nor waste land.
Then he discussed with Sha Liu: "Raising cattle is time-consuming, labor-intensive and waste of fodder, and it is not very useful. It is better to sell those two cattle and raise cashmere goats. I have more experience in raising sheep. The water here is good and the grass is good, and the sheep are not good. A lot, cashmere and wool mutton will definitely sell for a good price."
Sha Liu said with a smile: "You are the head of the family, you have the final say."
Aunt Sha Fufang often patronizes this newly formed family, and she sees the shadow of Sha Fujiu in Sha Wanli.Knowing that the person I once loved was buried in the desert, I cried secretly for a long time.
Seeing the two children finally come together after hardships, he was relieved and gave Sha Liu an idea: he can't live his life in such a vague way.
Not long after, Sha Liu told Sha Wanli that she was pregnant and said that she would definitely give birth to the child for him.
With urgent matters ahead, there is nothing to hesitate.The next day, Sha Wanli rushed back to the township government where Shalitun was located, and dissolved his marriage with Shi Xiuxiu through legal procedures. The household registration was moved from the location to Wulongdi Village.
Running around non-stop, Sha Wanli did not return to Shalitun to take a look. He could imagine what Shalitun would look like.He didn't want to reveal the scabbed pain in his heart anymore, and only regarded himself as a hasty passerby.
The desert wind, sand, severe cold and scorching heat have passed away, and he has left him far behind.
Due to the convenience of transportation due to its proximity to roads, the 5000 acres of vegetables in Shawanli have become a hot commodity.When the last crop of vegetables in autumn was sold out, Sha Wanli returned the [-] yuan that Sha Liu had paid in advance when buying the house. Sha Liu said, "Now we still divide it between you and me?"
Sha Wanli said: "The money in your hand is left to you and Zhuang Hai by your brother-in-law. I won't use a penny. You keep it and spend it on Zhuang Hai later. I can support you two, no, three. "
Sha Liu did not discuss it with Sha Wanli, and used the 5000 yuan to replace the home with a color TV and install a telephone on her own initiative.She said to Sha Wanli: "With a phone, it will be convenient to find Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou. I won't worry if you don't have to run from north to south."
Sha Wanli's first phone call was to the local police in Shilazi, who told him that there was no clue about Shi Xiuxiu and Shazhou yet.Hope and disappointment were mixed, he was more willing to believe that Shi Xiuxiu left him on her own initiative, rather than being trafficked.
In the spring of the next year, when the green and fluffy leaves of the poplar trees made a pleasant rustling sound under the gentle spring breeze, their daughter was born.
Sha Wanli held his daughter in his arms and called again and again, looking for the phone number of the steel factory where Dong Jialin worked, looking for Dong Jialin.Although there was an agreement not to contact him any more, missing his comrades prompted him to tell him his new address. After all, having a phone call is much more convenient than writing a letter.
One of Dong Jialin's colleagues called him back and told him: Dong Jialin became an electrician after demobilization. Last year, during a maintenance operation, he was burned by a high-voltage arc because of someone else's misoperation.In the emergency room of the hospital, taking advantage of the doctors and nurses not paying attention at night, he unplugged all the rescue equipment by himself, leaving behind his two-year-old wife and one-year-old son.
Putting down the phone, Sha Wanli found the photo taken with Dong Jialin back then, looked at the young and energetic face for a long time, and recalled the three years of training and duty together.
He couldn't imagine what kind of despair a cheerful and open-minded person would face before giving up his life.
Life is a flowing river, no matter how smooth the torrent is, it does not stagnate because of the river's curved silt, whether it is clear or turbid, it is always whirling and rushing.
In the first year when Wulong land was merged into the overall demolition of the development zone, Zhuang Hai was admitted to university, which can be described as double happiness.Sha Wanli bought a laptop and gave it to Zhuang Hai. He patted Zhuang Hai on the shoulder and said, "You're a promising kid. You can't forget your mother when you get married and start a business."
Sha Liu said, "Don't forget uncle."
Zhuang Hai said: "Of course. I also know what my uncle is thinking. If I post on the Internet, I will definitely find my brother."
Sha Wanli agreed with a "hmm".
Zhuang Hai asked: "Is my brother going to high school?"
Sha Wanli sighed softly: "If you have the opportunity to study, you should go to high school."
If Sha Wanli had always hoped to find Shi Xiuxiu and Sha Zhou, then he would never have thought that Sha Zhou would kick him face to face and kick him directly to the hospital.
Thinking of this, in front of the two women, he suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason, making the two women more nervous and at a loss.
He looked at Sha Liu, still complaining to Shi Xiuxiu with a smile: "Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you go to the police station to pick up your son."
