The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 17 You Are My Little Apple

The last person who called Wang Shaodong to report his safe return home was Han Kang.He has the demeanor of a big brother, sending everyone home before returning home.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shaodong breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head, he saw his father Wang Fumin was gone, and asked his mother who was watching TV: "Mom, where is my father?"

"Just now, I saw him walking away shirtless and carrying a towel. He should go to Beihe to take a bath."

"Oh, dad is really too, and he didn't call me. Mom! I went to Beihe to take a bath!"

The common people in the mountain villages don’t know what solar energy is. It’s a hot day when the sun is about to fall, and the water in the Beihe River is still warm at around ten o’clock in the evening.

"Hey, Dongzi, tell your dad to come back early. The weather forecast says it will rain tonight."

"Understood, mother!"

Wang Shaodong pulled on his slippers, then whistled "Little Apple" and went out.

When passing by the gate of Ma Lili's house, Wang Shaodong saw that Ma Lili was enjoying the shade with her mother at the door. Seeing Wang Shaodong approaching, Ma Lili's mother asked, "Dongzi, go to Beihe to take a bath?"

"Well, auntie, I'm going to Beihe to take a bath."

"What about your mother, why don't you come out to cool off?"

Wang Shaodong paused, and said, "I'm watching TV with an electric fan blowing on at home, auntie."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lili's mother shook her head and said, "Blowing on the electric fan is not good for your joints. I'll call your mother out."

After speaking, Ma Lili's mother stood up.

There is a [-]-watt incandescent lamp at the gate of Ma's chicken farm, which illuminates the area when it is turned on in summer.Usually, after eating at seven or eight o'clock, everyone likes to go to the gate of Ma's house to cool off.However, the past two days have been too hot, and there is no wind, and it is not cool here, so some people simply blow fans at home, and most of the men go to take a bath in Beihe at night.

Ma Lili's mother left, Ma Lili waved her cattail fan and smiled at Wang Shaodong.

"Shaodong, what song did you play just now? Why haven't I heard it?"

Wang Shaodong sang it, it was a divine comedy that was all the rage in later generations, and now Ma Lili was lucky to be able to enjoy it so early.

"I'm blowing a nice song."

Wang Shaodong knew that Ma Lili liked to listen to and learn to sing since junior high school. In fact, with Ma Lili's innate conditions, if she was born into a capable family, it would not be a strange thing to really cultivate a singer.

Ma Lili has a good appearance and a great voice.When she was in college, their music appreciation teacher once said that if Ma Lili had been exposed to vocal music training earlier, she would have achieved success in singing.It's a pity that the music appreciation class in the university is optional, and Ma Lili doesn't have a serious way to take a few classes.

As soon as Ma Lili heard that Wang Shaodong could sing a song she had never heard before, she immediately became interested.

"What song? Sing it and let me listen."

Wang Shaodong cleared his throat without hesitation, then looked at Ma Lili with a smile and said, "You are my little apple, I can't love you too much, your red face warms my heart and lights the fire of my life , fire fire fire fire!"

While singing, Wang Shaodong danced and danced.

Ma Lili leaned back in joy, covered her mouth and said, "What kind of song is this, you must have made it up."

However, after she finished speaking, Ma Lili's face turned red.

The meaning of the lyrics just now is easy to understand, probably Ma Lili suddenly understood and thought it was Wang Shaodong who was confessing to her.

In the restless season of youth, there is no room for any turmoil, and a little carelessness will become a prairie fire.Wang Shaodong now knows that Ma Lili is interesting to him, and Ma Lili is the type of girl he likes, so he will not let go of any chance to make insinuations.

"If only I could make up a song like this."

At this time, Wang Shaodong's mother and Ma Lili's mother walked out of their house talking and laughing, and seeing their son chatting with Ma Lili at the door of Ma's house, they shouted all the way: "Dongzi, didn't you go to Beihe to take a bath?"

Seeing the two old sisters coming, Wang Shaodong hurriedly replied, "Let's go."

Then Wang Shaodong turned his head and smiled and said to Ma Lili as he walked, "Tomorrow I will go to Shizi River with my brother-in-law to catch fish. If you are fine, go with me."

Ma Lili's face was still hot, and she said in a feverish manner: "It depends on the situation, I will go when I am free."

Wang Shaodong knew that Ma Lili had no intention of refusing.

The chicken has just left at home, and there is nothing to do at home at this time, so there is plenty of time.

Sometimes, if you don't find something to waste time, there is really nothing to do.

Wang Shaodong wandered to a small river not far from the north of the village. The river was full of soft quicksand, which was very comfortable to step on with bare feet.

On the river beach, the quicksand on the surface has become very warm after being baked by the sun for a day. If you dig less than ten centimeters down on the quicksand with your hands, you will find that the sand underneath is wet and cold. If you dig further, you will see It's water.

Before 2006, before the widespread use of highly toxic pesticides in the entire rural area, the water in the river was still very clean.The water in the excavated bunker can be drunk directly once it is clear.

Before the 80s, when there was no running water in the village, everyone went to the river to get water in this way.

The quicksand in the river is thicker than that on the river beach, and the rush of the river water makes people feel very comfortable.

Beihe River is located in Taohualing Village. There is a large area of ​​soothing waters. The water is not deep, and it can only overflow the waist of an adult.Local villagers call this water area Beidawang.During the day, it is a playground for children.At night, it's another adult's paradise.Swimming in summer, ice skating in winter, and fishing in spring and summer.Beida Wang brought countless joys to Wang Shaodong in his childhood, and now, he has thrown himself into her arms.

Villagers, regardless of gender, will come to Beidawang to take a bath in the hot summer season.

The big guys tacitly divided Beidawang into two areas, the upper reaches belonged to women, and the lower reaches belonged to men.

Lying in the still warm river, listening to the laughter of women from upstream, the men downstream couldn't help but began to whistle, spitting obscenities in the night sky wantonly.

Wang Shaodong smiled, and said to himself very dirty in his heart: Fortunately, the women are upstream. If this position is changed, someone's daughter-in-law is not guaranteed to be pregnant and does not know whose child it is.

As soon as he entered the river beach, Wang Shaodong took off his slippers and held them in his hands.Stepping on the beach, the soft sand penetrates directly into the toes, which is more comfortable than the hands of a beautiful technician in a massage shop in the city.

When he reached the shore, he quickly took off his clothes, and with the help of the faint starlight, he scanned a dozen or so men from Taohualing village who were bathing in the lower reaches of Beidawang. He barely recognized his father's position, and then he went into the water and walked towards his father. row across.
