2006: School beauty loves me again

There were many villagers wearing national costumes at the market, and there were also many people carrying children in bamboo baskets.

On the whole street, Chu Chu was the most eye-catching presence.

People frequently greeted her and glanced at the wretched boy with a bruised nose and face.

There are many things in the market. There is a large plastic sheet placed beside the dirt road, with various fruits, vegetables and wild products spread on it.

There are also pots and pans, and there is even a shop selling hoes.

There are several stalls selling winter clothes and floral cotton-padded jackets at the end. Fangyuan is very interested in hand-stitched cloth jackets and wants to buy one for Chu Chu to wear.

He felt that if this girl wore this, she would be particularly...sentimental.

But Chu Chu said no, saying that she had some at home, and if he wanted to see them, he could go back and wear them for him.

Fangyuan Laohuai is very comforted by this mentality of asking for and giving everything.

There was a stall with large bamboo cages containing several small piglets.

Chu Chu said that during the Chinese New Year, someone wanted to pickle bacon, which was not for breeding.

The Dong Nuo opera "Dong Dong Tui" is an ancient national art form that has both the attributes of "ethnic stall" and "community stall". It inherits the ancient tradition of "community sacrifice" and is used to pray for a good agricultural harvest and a prosperous population.

It was listed as intangible cultural heritage last year.

With the accompaniment of bronze drums, altars were opened to invite gods, and people wearing all kinds of exaggerated and scary masks jumped up and down the dirt road with their teeth and claws dancing.

Fangyuan was surfing the Internet to popularize science while chewing the sugar and oil cake, which made her teeth a little sticky.

Chu Chu's backpack has been transferred to his body. He bought meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits. It is very heavy. He feels distressed and does not dare to let the girl carry this.

He said: "It's a bit like the dancing master from Northeast China."

Chu Chu also held a piece of glutinous rice cake in her little hand, which was soft and sweet in her mouth.

With a giggle, she pointed to the performers kneeling on the ground in the middle of the road like worshiping, and asked Fangyuan: "What do you think they are doing?"

"Begging." Fang Yuan joked firmly.

Chu Chu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm praying for rain."

Fangyuan groaned and muttered: "There will be a severe drought in the Southwest this winter. Can he ask for it?"

Continuing walking along the road, Chuchu wanted to eat roasted chestnuts, and Fangyuan bought them for her. Chuchu wanted to eat maltose, and Fangyuan also bought them for her.

Like all young lovers in love, the smile on Chu Chu's flower-like face never disappeared for a moment.

In her pure heart, this is enough, this is good.

Fangyuan asked her: "Does your mouth still hurt?"

Chu Chu raised her head and stared at his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Fangyuan immediately hugged her and gave her a kiss, "If you want to kiss me, just say so. We are all so familiar with each other, so you are welcome."

The sweet taste of maltose filled his mouth, and Fang Yuan grinned at her.

Chu Chu blushed and jumped up, pulling him to continue walking.

I bought a basket of things, and the total cost was less than 100 yuan. I still had a few hundred cash in my pocket. I was thinking of buying some cigarettes and alcohol for the couple, but I didn't sell anything.

He said: "I'll go back to the village entrance shop to buy some later."

Chu Chu smiled and shook her head, telling him not to buy it.

"Dad is used to smoking cigarettes and drinking rice wine made by mom. You bought it for him, but he's not used to it."

Fangyuan rubbed her head, smiled and called her a silly girl, "It's just a thoughtful gift. We bought it and he will be happy whether he uses it or not."

The truth is clear, but I just want to listen to him.

Obviously she came out of society earlier than him, but her worldliness and sophistication couldn't be compared to that of Fangyuan who was still in school.

"Yes." Chu Chu smiled like a flower.

Fangyuan said, "What gift do you think they most want to receive?"

Chu Chu shook her head.

Fangyuan smiled and leaned over and muttered: "Give them a grandson..."

After hearing what he said, Chu Chu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her red face and said softly:
"Tomorrow will be the fifth day. I checked and it's OK."

oh?checked?

"When did you check it?" Fang Yuan blinked repeatedly.

Chu Chu checked it after waking up from her dream in the morning, but she bit her lip and ignored him.

The glutinous rice cake is sweet, so is the maltose, and the chestnuts he opened with his own hands as he walked are even sweeter.

Dark clouds drifted from the sky halfway up the mountain, and a gentle breeze rose.

Fangyuan was stunned and looked back at the "Great God" not far away who was jumping repeatedly in a triangle pattern to the beat of the drum.

He was surprised: "Is he really so smart?"

Chu Chu laughed so much that her stomach hurt.

Walking from the beginning to the end of the market and back again, Fangyuan spent a total of 96 yuan and 2 cents, and the backpack was already full.

Most of them are meat and fruits. When she wants to buy vegetables, Chuchu says she has them at home.

Xiao Nizi held his arm, raised her pretty face, and asked him, "Is it fun?"

Fangyuan said: "It's lively."

In fact, he prefers village life surrounded by mountains and rivers than in the city.

Some people like the smell of the washing machine drum, others like the smell of gasoline, and he especially likes the smell of firewood.

He doesn't like to live in high-rise buildings and prefers to live down-to-earth in a bungalow.

After thinking about it, Pastoral Pastoral will probably be completed by the end of this year. Do you want to replace it with a wood-fired earth stove by then?
If the air quality in the capital was not so bad, it would not be impossible to build a courtyard house...

Miss Chen in the east wing tonight, Miss Li in the west wing tomorrow... Tsk tsk, rich people are good.

Chu Chu said: "Go home first and I'll make lunch for you. The show won't end until two or three in the afternoon. I can also go for a walk with you after dinner."

Fangyuan scratched her straight little nose and saw through her little thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your mouth is not healed yet, so you can't eat candied haws. Just eat some ham."

Chu Chu asked doubtfully: "Ham? I don't have any at home. I just saw it. If you want to eat it, I'll buy it."

"No, no, I can't eat." Fangyuan quickly grabbed her and put her head against her hot earlobe to learn some science.

Xiao Nizi was startled, her blood-stained face was full of surprise, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, I won't eat it if I don't."

Fangyuan kept laughing.

Chu Chu pulled him to the front of the market.

The "dong dong pushing" was over. The "great god" who had previously prayed for rain took off his mask, sat cross-legged on the ground, spread out a greasy gray white cloth, and turned to fortune-telling.

This little old man looks about 60 or [-] years old. He is wearing a torn jacket and has two slender dirty pigtails on his head. His face is wrinkled and his hands are chapped and stained with mud...

Fangyuan looked at him, and then at the sky, which was completely overcast and heavy with moisture, and thought to herself, "Oh my god."

Chu Chu squatted down and said, "Uncle, have you used up the three hexagrams today?"

The old man shook his head.

Chu Chu was overjoyed: "That's great, let's both watch it."

Three hexagrams a day?Fangyuan also squatted down and asked: "Reading fortunes or copper coins?" The old man raised his eyes slightly and looked at him. There was no flash of light, but his eyes were big and small, the eyeballs were cloudy, and his expression did not change.

Then he looked at Chu Chu and took out a set of three white joints from his arms.

Fangyuan Da Le, he is familiar with this thing, isn’t it awesome? It’s just one bouncy ball away from being able to play with it, why is this popular in Shonan?

The old man didn't ask about her birth date or birth date, or even her name. He just kept staring at Chu Chu and gently tossed the joints upwards in his hands.

Xiao Chuchu frowned nervously and held Fang Yuan's arms with both hands.

The three joints landed on the cloth, rolled a few times, and then stopped.

The old man asked Chu Chu: "What is it?"

Chu Chu looked at Fang Yuan and replied: "Marriage."

The old man lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "Today, there are two kinds. One is poor and happy, childless, half full; the other is rich and depressed, two daughters and one son, half full."

Chu Chu understood and bit her lower lip.

Fangyuan understood it before him, pointed at the old man and said, "You are not accurate in your calculations."

The old man still lowered his head and said without looking at him, "Yeah."

The other party didn't hold his tongue, and Fang Yuan suddenly lost his temper.

The old man suddenly said: "Three breaths of rain."

Three interest?

one two Three…

It didn't rain, but scattered ice particles drifted up, and it started to snow.

Fangyuan: "..."

"What the heck, the air is so humid, I know it's going to rain!"

Chu Chu pulled him and raised her head with a smile on her face, "It's your turn."

Fangyuan snorted and said to the old man: "Come on, come on, count me in."

The old man turned his left eye but did not move his right eye, which shocked the two of them.

He put away the three joints and took out three more, but they were not as white anymore, they were gray.

Fangyuan asked: "What? Three hexagrams a day, Galaha is a one-time thing?"

The old man said calmly: "Women use sheep bones, men..."

Fangyuan sneered: "Men use cow bones? It's just a mystery."

The old man said: "For men, use cow bones, and for you, use dead human bones."

Fangyuan and Chuchu: "..."

Chu Chu tilted her head, her face full of confusion, but Fangyuan frowned and squinted her eyes, looking deeply at the old man: "Forget it."

The joints lifted into the air, collided with each other, fell down and rolled three times before stopping.

Old man: "What the hell..."

Fang Yuan spoke coldly again: "It doesn't count marriage or career. I'll count your fate. Just tell me."

The old man remained silent, slowly retracted his joints, and finally breathed out softly.

"Prying into destiny, hiding from cause and effect, and trying to escape from the world. Are you really comfortable?"

Fangyuan: "Continue."

"If you have been attached to something, let it go. If you have been worried, let it go. If you let go of the thought, you will be reborn."

Fangyuan: "Continue."

Chu Chu squatted aside, completely unable to understand, but it felt magical and mysterious. She blinked her big eyes and looked at her sweetheart.

The old man finally raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan with two cloudy eyeballs, one big and one small.

The two looked at each other, and the old man said: "You are the one staring into the dark abyss. You have implicated too many people. You should provide thousands of lamps to illuminate the rest of the night."

"This little sister Tuo is supposed to marry in the southeast. Although she is not rich, she can live out the rest of her life peacefully. Do you want to drag her into the abyss with you?
"Thousands of causes and effects on you are all due to your persistence in one thought."

Fang Yuan smiled, silently, getting colder and colder.

He stared at the old man and asked, "Will your life be shortened if you talk like this?"

The old man replied calmly: "There is no way to break it."

Fangyuan laughed out loud, stood up, pulled the stunned Chu Chu and walked away.

The old man became anxious, jumped up, chased after him, and grabbed him.

Fangyuan: "What are you doing? Isn't it okay if you don't listen?"

The old man turned the palm of his hand, and there were mud marks all over it: "Gua Qian, ten yuan."

Fangyuan took out the money and patted it in his hand: "Old man, you are right about "persistence", I really live by these four words.

"Also, I'm not someone who stares into the abyss," he retracted his finger and pointed at his forehead, and continued:

"I am the abyss. I can catch anyone who falls."

The old man ignored him completely, turned around and staggered back to his stall.

Walking into the village, Fang Yuan took several deep breaths before breathing evenly.

The wind can blow away the white paper, but it can't blow away the butterflies.My life has already been changed once and for all, why are you still compromising?

No matter how much you compromise, you will be sorry for the "one more time" God has given you.

What kind of dog Taoist priests, dancing masters, grandma, I don’t believe in anything in this life.

Seeing his angry look, Chu Chu covered her mouth and laughed at him, "That's all if you don't believe it. Why are you sulking?"

Fangyuan stared at Xiao Chuchu, turned her feet, and pulled her into the depths of a small alley.

Chu Chu followed him like a little daughter. Fangyuan turned around and hugged Xiao Nizi: "Aren't you afraid of what he said?"

Chu Chu knew what he was asking, it was the sentence "rich, noble and melancholy".

Shaking her head, Chu Chu put her face against his chest.

There is a piece of unpatterned velvet on the front of Fangyuan's sweatshirt. When you put it on your face, it feels soft and warm.

"Last spring, I accompanied Teacher Li Li to collect tea leaves in Hangzhou. Do you still remember?"

"Ah."

"Later, there was a snowstorm at home and the house collapsed, so I came back, but before that, I went to Lingyin Temple with her.

"I like it there very much. The environment is quiet and elegant, simple and quiet. Moreover, I like the couplet at the temple door the best."

Fangyuan knew what the couplet was, and she let out a sigh of relief in her chest. She hugged her and said, "No, believe me, no. For the rest of our lives, we will not only be rich and noble, but also happy and complete. I promise It doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable and depressed, and it doesn’t make anyone only half-satisfied.”

"Well," Chu Chu rubbed her face against his chest and said with a smile, "I believe it...yeah!"

As Chu Chu screamed, Fang Yuan felt as if the back of her head touched the wall, and then seemed to be touched by the wall.

When he turned around in an instant, he saw a dark gun barrel pressed against his forehead. (End of chapter)
