In the rainy season, it was drizzling on the river. No one was in the mood to appreciate the lingering beauty. It rained for a few days and nights, making Li He's family very upset. The air was humid and stuffy, and clothes were easy to mold. The villagers also called it "moldy rain".
Every day, they faced the dripping rain, which seemed to never stop. There was a moldy smell every day.
There was no girl like a lilac, holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering in the long rainy alley. Her graceful figure was magnificent.
The reality was that the dirt road was extremely muddy. When they went out, they were covered in mud. When it rained, they couldn't collect the eels at home. They couldn't transport them out. Whether it was a handcart or a donkey cart, the road was full of mud holes.
They had no choice but to collect the eels at the bridgehead of the Hongshui River in the town. By the river, they would collect the eels for two hours every day at 5 pm. More and more eels were sent here from the nearby villages, so they were still very busy every day.
Now, they were paid in cash every day. Li Long carried the calf leather bag that he specially bought in the provincial capital. The bag was bulging and ostentatious. At this stage of experience, he was less and less immature than before. However, Li Long recently fell into unrequited love. A girl sent eels every day made Li Long absent-minded. This was an era when talking to the opposite sex outside would make you blush.
Li Long had indeed reached the age of first awakening of love. When the seed inadvertently fell into his heart and took root, he began to pay attention to a person's every move every day. Of course, he pretended to be careless, worried that it would be too deliberate, but in fact, he cared a lot about it. Day by day, this sweet burden, he would be happy for a long time when he occasionally talked to a few words. His mind was full of that person's things. This feeling was always without reason. It seemed to sprout in an instant, and then it grew carefully and densely, just like garlic sprouts in the field. A few days ago, it was still bare, but one day, a small seedling grew. If you didn't pay attention to it, after a few days, it would grow quickly.
How happy it was to look at it. Once, Li He deliberately took a look at this girl. She was wearing a pair of faded black cloth shoes that couldn't be more tacky. She was wearing a navy blue shirt that didn't quite fit her body, and a black square scarf wrapped around her head. Her appearance was considered top-notch, her figure was curvy, and her small face was delicate. Her skin wasn't white, but the key point was that in these days, whether it was women or little girls in the countryside, there was no white skin. During the busy farming season, the militia company commander of the brigade would organize young people to go out for training. The secretary of the brigade's Youth League branch would organize meetings for learning, so women became the main force in farming.
Poor girls born in this era, they had to endure the hot weather during the day to cut the grain, and at night, they pulled the rice seedlings in the field under the stars, and the hot weather was bitten by mosquitoes. At this time, there was no scourge of pesticides and fertilizers. Not only were there many eels and loaches, but there were also many leeches and snakes in the field. The swollen leeches on the poles could be grabbed one by one, and the ones pulling the rice seedlings often caught the snakes in their hands. It was really unbearable. There was no food, no clothes, and no firewood to burn. Many girls really couldn't bear this suffering, and had a kind of feeling that death was better than living.
Therefore, there were often rumors of a few drowning in a bay, and a girl from a brigade hanging herself.
Women held up half the sky, but in fact, they really held up half the sky. When two people in the countryside quarreled, the woman would shout to the man, "I will follow you and suffer for the rest of my life," and the man would usually mumble to himself.
Therefore, Li He had lived two lives, and he had seen the suffering of Wang Yulan and Li Mei. He truly respected and felt sad for them.
A little boy who was in the stage of love usually seemed to be a very strong-willed person, but once he fell into unrequited love, he would unconsciously lower his position, and desperately try to change himself to get closer to the person he liked. He would do many things that normal people couldn't imagine. Those things that he did, in the eyes of others, undoubtedly looked like he was committing a cheap crime.
Li He didn't care about these things. As long as it wasn't the Zhang Ni from his previous life, he didn't care too much about who his brother found as his wife, as long as she had a good character.
Li He brought Da Zhuang and Li Long to squat at the bridge every day to collect eels. After collecting, they didn't go home, but went to a roadside stall to eat some scallion pancakes or cold noodles. As for restaurants, did they have food stamps? If not, then they could only make do with it. As for the old master and his two uncles, they came early and occasionally helped to bring some food. It was even more difficult to walk on the road when it rained, and there was no moonlight at night, so they could only set off before the sky turned dark. Sometimes, when they arrived early, there was no one at the aquatic products company, so they had to wait until 2 am. Sometimes, when the people from the finance office came even later, they had to wait until 4 am. It was even more miserable.
Li He looked at the clothes on his body. His liberation shoes were covered in mud. Then, he looked at his khaki shirt. He didn't know if it was from rain or sweat, but it was dirty like a broken sack on his body. There were wrinkles that couldn't be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
Finally, the rain stopped, and it was hot again. Li He didn't dare to squat at the bridgehead anymore. He could only set up his stall under the shade of a tree at the bridgehead. Even though it was already past six o 'clock, the heat still pierced his heart and lungs.
Since they weren't busy, Da Zhuang and Li Long took the opportunity to hide in the river and refused to come up. It was summer vacation, and there were a group of naked children in the river. Their clothes were all placed on the riverbank. Hongshui River was a tributary of the Huai River. It was a very clean river. The residents nearby used the river water to wash vegetables and clothes. Li He remembered that in the future, the people here opened a pig farm and poured all the dirty things into the river. In a few years, the river would become a dirty river. Later, as the economy developed, the two sides of the Huai River were filled with sand fields. The river was filled with sand sucking boats, and sand trucks were everywhere. Dust and exhaust were everywhere. Even the bridge in front of them couldn't be saved because it was overweight.
Li Long was lying on his back in the water. Suddenly, he was pulled by Da Zhuang. He stood up and looked in the direction that Da Zhuang was pointing at. He quickly ran ashore to put on his clothes. Li Long's unrequited love, Duan Mei, was pushing a small cart over slowly. The bag on the cart was obviously eels. Li Long didn't want to be naked in front of the person he liked.
Li He smiled and gave his seat to Li Long. He took off his clothes and dived into the water with his pants on. He swam more than ten meters before his head came out.
Before he had dived a few times, he heard Li Long and a group of people scolding each other.
"Hey, boys, behave yourselves. Don't talk dirty, or I won't be polite." Li Long said fiercely to a few young men. It turned out that a few young men in the river were whistling at Duan Mei, who was pushing a small cart over. This annoyed Li Long. At this time, young men were much more simple. At most, they were a little cunning. They couldn't even be called hooligans, let alone hooligans. But after all, young men cared about face the most. Being scolded in public, how could they be willing to step down like this?
They greeted their ancestors several times and scolded each other a few times. When they were provoked by Li Long's "If you have the guts, come up here", the four young men came out of the river with their pants on and were about to fight with Li Long. Although they knew that the three brothers who collected the eels were not easy to deal with, they were not afraid of trouble. They had been hanging around in the town since middle school. They had been involved in many fights and often beat people up. They ate commodity food and felt that they were superior to others. Naturally, they couldn't lower their heads to country people.
Duan Mei, who was standing next to them, didn't know what to do. She hurriedly pulled Li Long and said, "Don't scold me. I'm fine."
Li He originally pulled Da Zhuang, who was about to go up and beat them up, to give his brother a chance to be a hero and save the beauty. But looking at the situation, he knew that it couldn't be good. He was afraid that his brother would be at a disadvantage, so he and Da Zhuang hurriedly went ashore.
"F * ck you." As soon as a tall man came ashore, he clenched his fists and was about to pounce on Li Long when he was still a few steps away. Li He had just come out of the river. He ran up and kicked the tall man's back without hesitation. The tall man fell to the ground. He turned around and kicked the waist of another young man. When the young man staggered, he directly strangled the young man's neck and pinned him to the ground. Li He still regarded the young man as a child. He didn't dare to hit the young man's head heavily. He had also stayed in the military system and had been trained. Now he was a good boy who ate well and had good fighting skills and strength. If he hit the young man to death, it would seem that he was a common person.
Of course, if these kids didn't know how to control their strength and had bricks, knives, or sticks in their hands, Li He would directly beat them to death. That was because 15 or 16 years old kids were the least afraid of the consequences. As long as they were given a chance, they really dared to stab people when they were hot-headed.
The scene immediately became chaotic. The children in the river started to make a scene. Da Zhuang and Li Long had always been good at fighting. In the countryside, it was normal for them to fight because of a disagreement.
However, after one round, Da Zhuang's strength was moderate. He put the young man down and kicked him once. Then he didn't fight anymore. Li Long didn't care about that. He rode on a long-haired boy and directly clenched his fist to hit the boy's head.
Li He hurriedly pulled Li Long up and scolded, "What? Do you want to beat him to death?"
Seeing that Li Long's neck was scratched by the boy's nails and blood was coming out, Li He felt a little distressed. He kicked the leg of the long-haired boy who was lying on the ground and said, "Don't pretend to be dead on the ground. Your nose is bleeding. Get up."
The long-haired boy had to cover his nose and get up. He glanced at the other three companions and said fiercely, "We're not done yet."
Li He was so angry that he laughed and said to the four people, "How are you not done yet? It's rare for you to act like a child and go home to complain to your parents. Besides, you are molesting a girl. It's also you who started it. If you go to the police station, you will be charged with hooliganism and will be shot. Do you want me to go with you to the police station? " “
Duan Mei, who had been standing aside in panic, heard Li He's words. She was not a timid girl but a responsible one. She said, "Yes, I will go to the police station and sue you for being hooligans."
Although these young people were not young, they had not seen the world. After being fooled by a few words, they felt uneasy. The tall boy forced himself to say, "My brother's nose is bleeding because of you."
Li He was too lazy to argue with these kids. They were just young and impetuous, but they were not bad people. Li He also gave them a way out. "Look at my little brother, the blood on his neck, how could it be light? We don't get to know each other without fighting. How about being friends? We will collect eels on this bridge in the future. You often play in this area. It's boring to see each other all the time. Take this five yuan and take this little brother to the clinic to stop his nosebleed. How about this? " “
Li Long didn't want to pay five dollars, so he called out, "Bro." Li He glared at him, but didn't pay him any attention.
Although these young people were from the town, they didn't have a proper job. They usually beat up the Nanshan Nursing Home and trampled on the Beihai Kindergarten. They only took a few cents for a cigarette. They had never seen such a large amount of money. They looked at each other and didn't say anything. They felt that the other party giving money was a sign of submission. Long-hair took the money and said, "Okay, you know what's good for you."
When Li Long heard this, he wanted to pounce on them but was pulled back by Li He.
The four of them went into the river to wash up. They put on their clothes again and left.
They didn't know when they were surrounded. Li He looked up at the sky and sighed. They were indeed natives.
When Duan Mei realized that she had lost five yuan, she insisted on paying half of the bill. Li Long couldn't let his sweetheart pay. He weighed the eel and paid how much it was. Duan Mei was sincere, even if she couldn't explain it to her parents.
When the girl left, Li He said, "If you really care about her, our family's condition is not bad now. Ask grandma to find out which family she is from and ask for her hand in marriage."
Li Long's face was as red as a monkey's butt. Too young.
Later, the old man came with two uncles. When he heard this, he said to Li Long, "Your brother did the right thing. After all, you took advantage of him. It's the same as Da Zhuang's father driving a donkey. Give it a carrot after a whip." “
