turn into a breeze

In the days that followed, Xiaohuang never left again, and occasionally told me that he had to leave for a while because of something at home, but he would always come back before dinner.

At the same time, my daily writing progress has also reached a normal state.

The life of the two seems to be as natural as a couple who have been dating for many years or a couple who are familiar with each other.

After getting up in the morning, the two of them are busy with the farm work in the yard. After lunch, he goes out to work, while I write at home. He will come back before dinner, and occasionally I will cook and wait for him, and occasionally wait for him to come back We cook together and watch some movies on my computer at night.

When I watched the movie for the first time, I didn’t know what he was interested in, so I randomly found a famous blockbuster movie and watched it together. Then I was surprised by his poor knowledge of movies. He didn’t listen to many familiar movies at all. Pass.

I don't know what kind of environment he grew up in, and I don't want to ask, so I watched many movies with him, and he seemed to be very interested, and later he could specify what he wanted to watch type of movie too.

He seems to like comedies more. Although he also loves to watch horror movies, he would curl up in fear every time he watched them, and would fall asleep restlessly in my arms every night after watching them.

The days passed day by day, I don’t know if it was because of Xiao Huang’s company, my new book was completed very smoothly, and the editor also gave a good review. I can steal a few days of leisure during the production stage of the new book, so I thought about keeping my home well. tidy up.

After living for so long, the whole house has completely changed its appearance now.

Not only the old and broken parts of the interior have been properly treated, but also a lot of new furniture has been added, and even the outer walls and roof tiles of the house have been properly treated.

The yard has become neat and tidy after taking good care of it. The flowers and vegetables planted by Xiaohuang in spring have grown. Xiaohuang said that this year, he may not be able to eat the fresh vegetables grown by himself, but he will definitely be able to eat them next year.

Hearing this, I feel very much looking forward to it.

"Xiao Huang, what do you want to do in the future?"

The afternoon sun was very comfortable on my body. I lay in the shade of the trees in the yard, looked at Xiao Huang who was helping me peel the fruit, and suddenly asked him.

"Huh?" He seemed a little puzzled, stopped the movements in his hands, and turned his head to look at me.

"I mean, do you want to work here for the rest of your life? Or do you want to go somewhere else?"

"What do you mean by going to another place?"

Xiao Huang tilted his head and looked at me, as if he didn't quite understand what I said.

"I originally lived in a big city. Have you ever thought about going with me? You are still young, and there are many opportunities there, and you can find a better job."

Speaking, in fact, the editor contacted me yesterday, hoping that I could go back. Although living here is very comfortable, there are still many things that are not convenient, such as the lack of Internet, which is very inconvenient.

"Does Xiaotang want to go back?"

Xiao Huang looked down at me, he looked a little depressed in the backlight, he felt his hands trembling, as if he was still afraid of what I said last time that I was going to leave.

"After all, my job is over there, but don't worry, I won't leave alone, so are you willing to leave with me?"

I held Xiao Huang's trembling hand and smiled at him.

"..." I thought Xiao Huang would agree to me right away, but unexpectedly he hesitated, "I'll go home and discuss it."

After a long silence, Xiao Huang answered me like this.

Indeed, after all, if he moves away from here to other places, he needs to discuss it with his family. After a flash of unhappiness in my heart, I can understand it. The sweet and sour fruit was stuffed into my mouth.

On the second day, Xiao Huang said early on that he would go home to discuss with his parents. I was still lying on the bed, and he kissed my ear lightly and left.

It was almost noon after I woke up, and I saw the cold breakfast on the table. After I ate it hot, I thought about what I should do today.

Walking around the room, I tidied up the messy things, and then the clothes piled up there caught my attention.

Speaking of which, it was almost time for laundry. Looking at the bright sunshine outside, I moved the laundry basin to the yard. When I went back to the house to look for laundry soap, I found that it had been used up.

The weather wasn't hot yet, so I thought about going to the shop in the village. By the way, I looked at the house and recorded the missing things.

Because Xiao Huang always brought some things from home, although I was a little uneasy at first, but later I felt that it was his accommodation fee, and it was very comfortable to use.

After calculating, it seems that I haven't gone out for a long time, so I took my wallet and decided to go out.

At the entrance of the village, there is a small market. In addition to some vegetables and meat for sale, there are also various snacks and daily necessities. I went there a few times when I first came, but I rarely went there afterwards.

It's already summer, and the weather is getting hotter. On the ridge beside the road, there are villagers taking a lunch break, chatting and eating in twos and threes.

Occasionally, someone who knows me greets me warmly, and I respond in a good mood.

The weather is very good, the fields are green, and the cicadas can be heard from the woods. The mountains in the distance have also become gloomy, and the whole village is full of vitality as if it has come to life.

I came to the market in a good mood. It may be that the market was a bit sluggish at noon. Almost all the shopkeepers were women from the village. They gathered in small groups and chatted together. When they saw me coming, they all cast enthusiastic glances.

"Xiaotang, I'm still used to living here."

One of the aunts who looked familiar but couldn't remember the name greeted me, I smiled and nodded, and walked into the small shop to buy what I wanted.

"I heard that the broken house on the mountain will be demolished."

"Finally it's about to be demolished, the house is weird there."

The words of the village woman reached my ears.

"Why was the house demolished when it was fine?"

I asked curiously after walking out of the shop with the bag.

"Oh, you don't know." Seeing me inserting the topic, several village women surrounded me with faces full of gossip, "There is a big boss who bought land in our village and said he would develop it for us. All the land on the site has been sold, and it will be demolished in a few days.”

When I heard the news, I didn't think it was strange. The person who contacted me to buy my land was probably the same person. This kind of thing happens a lot now, so it's not a very unusual thing.

"But the house is indeed infiltrated."

One of the women said, frowning.

"how?"

Others also showed curious expressions. I had nothing to do when I went home, and I was really curious about the house, so I stayed and listened.

"That house, I heard that there are some unclean things."

"I've also heard that one night when my husband came back from the fields late, he said that he saw lights in the house."

"I heard people who went up the mountain say that they saw a figure inside."

Several people chatted in a hurry, and I couldn't help laughing. There are always rumors about the ruins of old houses in this kind of village. In fact, they are often misunderstood. After a while, I felt that I had no interest, so I thought about saying goodbye to everyone and going home.

"Speaking of which, Xiaotang, are you planning to go back to the village to live?"

Seeming to see me leaving, one of them suddenly grabbed my arm and asked.

"No, I'm leaving after I come back to sort out my grandparents' belongings."

"That's right, you people in big cities must not be used to living in this rural area. I think you stay at home alone all day. If you need any help, just tell our family, such a big house, You can't clean it up alone."

Seeing the other party talking to me kindly, I just remembered that this woman seems to live next door to my house, and occasionally met a few times in the yard, but they all ended after a hasty greeting. up.

"Well, if I need it, I will definitely be in trouble at that time, but I don't need it now, I have a cousin to help me clean it up."

"Cousin?"

The woman showed a curious look.

"Well, it should be a distant relative of my family. My grandmother's funeral is also thanks to their family."

I answered with a smile.

"It's good to have relatives to help. Grandma Ye has lived here all these years, and it's really been too hard."

Although they said so, I felt the blame in their words.

My grandmother and grandfather had only one child, my father, so after my father left, they had no one to take care of them. I didn't feel much at first, but now I am more and more haunted by deep self-blame.

"But it's good to be able to be taken to the city to reunite with you in the end."

As she spoke, the woman smiled again, but what she said made me unable to smile.

"To the city?"

I asked her suspiciously.

I didn't even think about my grandmother, let alone bring her in, until I got the call that my grandmother had passed away.

"Grandma Ye's life in the city is okay in the end?"

"..." I was stunned, I didn't know how to answer at all, seeing the eyes of everyone looking at me expectantly, I had to force myself to nod.

After saying goodbye to everyone for any reason, I ran home.

I didn't know how I felt all the way home.

Why don't you know about grandma's funeral, why don't you know about Xiaohuang's family wood factory, why do you think grandma was taken to the city by us in the end.

Since I came here, I have only seen Xiao Huang, but I have never visited his parents. Occasionally, when I mentioned this matter, he would change the topic in a few words.

what on earth is it?

Who is Xiao Huang?

Carrying the plastic bag and running home covered in sweat, I saw Xiao Huang who was opening the gate of the courtyard.

As if he heard the voice of my return, Xiao Huang turned his head and looked at me with a smile on his face.

"Huh? Why are you sweating all over?"

He took the strap from my hand, then reached out and wiped the sweat from my brow.

"Xiao Huang!"

I yelled and threw myself into his arms, feeling him staggering backwards, then he stabilized his footsteps, wrapped me in his arms, and a pleasant voice sounded above my head.

"Huh? What's the matter? Are you acting like a baby today?"

"Xiao Huang, are you a real person?"

Regarding this question, I didn't wait for an answer. Xiao Huang just hugged me stiffly. After a long time, he seemed to relax and kissed my hair lightly.
