Nongben is passionate

During the whole lunch, Xie Xuan remained insane, and finally finished the meal, and it was the scheduled nap time of the day.Xie Xuan went upstairs slowly and climbed onto the bed. The first thing he did was to take out the marbles he had hidden in the small drawer and count them. There were seven marbles in total. He played with himself on the bed for a while , Hearing the old lady's footsteps going upstairs, she immediately lay down, closed her eyes, and tightly clutched the marbles in her sweaty palms.

After a while, when there was no strange sound in his ears, Xie Xuan carefully opened one eye, and then opened the other eye. He could only see the white gauze curtain blown by the wind. He breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand He raised his marbles to his eyes, squinted, and could only see a blur, but he still found it very interesting, and his heart was itchy, like ants crawling.

He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he got up quietly, passed by the old lady's room, and saw her lying sideways on the bed, with the sunflower fan on her lap, taking a nap.Xie Xuan went downstairs lightly, just in time to meet Zhou Nansheng who was looking inside——

When Zhou Nansheng saw him, he showed his white teeth, and then looked behind him cautiously. He was relieved when he didn't see the old man who made him feel intimidated, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He winked at Xie Xuan, "Is your adult at home?"

Xie Xuan looked at him, and immediately understood his worry, "My grandma is sleeping, and grandpa is out—"

Hearing this, Zhou Nansheng immediately returned to his original nature, with a familiar look, he glanced and touched carelessly to the left, and said while examining, "That old man is your grandfather? Your grandfather is really a murderer. I'm afraid he will Kick my ass-"

"You call me old man again, and I'll really kick your ass!" The old man's angry voice sounded from the door, his eyes puffed out as if he wanted to eat people.

Zhou Nansheng was taken aback, and was about to run, but the old man grabbed him by the collar, "I'm young, I don't leave the door, I have to sneak over the wall, you'll cry if you break your arm !"

Zhou Nansheng dared not speak out, glared at Xie Xuan, and complained: Didn't you say he was not at home?

Xie Xuan had always been afraid of the serious and serious old man, but now he stood on the side in a well-behaved manner, not daring to say anything.

The old man put Zhou Nansheng down, and patted him hard on the back of the head, "It's noon, the sun is very poisonous, don't go crazy outside, Saner, take him upstairs to your room to play for a while, keep your voice down, don't disturb you grandmother."

Xie Xuan looked at Zhou Nansheng, "Let's go."

Zhou Nansheng reluctantly followed behind Xie Xuan, looked back at the majestic old man who was still upright in his age, stuck out his tongue, rushed to Xie Xuan's side in a few steps, and muttered softly: "Your grandpa beat you!" won't hit you?"

Xie Xuan shook his head: "My grandfather doesn't beat people."

Zhou Nansheng obviously didn't believe it, but children have a great forgetfulness, and they were immediately attracted by others, "Your house is really big—" There was subtle envy in his tone.

Xie Xuan paused and replied, "This is not my house, it's my grandmother's house." What he didn't say was that his house was much bigger and more magnificent than this one.But Xie Xuan didn't think it was necessary to say that compared to the European-style luxury at home, he prefers the tranquility and worldliness here.

Xie Xuan led Zhou Nansheng to his room. He didn't know what to do, so he took out his toys and snacks all at once—these were all brought back from abroad, such as Transformers, car models, games, etc. Machines, chocolates, chocolate beans, Swiss candy... For the rural areas where materials were still scarce at that time, these things were very attractive to children. Tsk-tsk complimented non-stop, and finally sighed, "Your parents are so kind to you——"

Xie Xuan didn't speak, and he didn't know if his parents treated him well. In fact, most of those toys and food were bought for him by his father's friends. Before he knew the benefits, he had already fully enjoyed those favors. The benefits brought by the relationship are gone, and I am sensitive to the intricacies of the adult world, but I don't find it difficult to accept.

After playing for a while, the two lay down on the ground, talking while eating chocolate.Zhou Nansheng asked him, "Why does your grandfather call you San'er? Is this your name?"

Xie Xuan said, "No, my name is Xie Xuan." He turned over, lay down on the ground, and carefully wrote his name on the wooden floor with his fingers, "San'er is my number one at home."

Zhou Nansheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You still have brothers and sisters?"

Xie Xuan nodded, "I have an older sister who is studying at university. I also have a cousin—" Xie Xuan paused, feeling unable to explain clearly to Zhou Nansheng——The Xie family is a big family, and his generation's famous From then on, but the girl was not included in the family tree. He had an elder brother Xie Fang who died when he was six years old, and a cousin Xie Hui from his second uncle's family, so he ranked third.But at the grandmother's house, boys and girls are counted according to their age. His missing elder brother Xie Fang is the eldest, and his sister Xie Ya is the second child. Naturally, he is still the third child.

Fortunately, the child is not interested in getting entangled in these things. He just gave a half-understandable oh, and became happy again, "Then I will call you San'er!" Without asking Xie Xuan for permission, he called out on his own, thinking that this name very interesting.

Xie Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to tell him that the name San'er is usually called by elders, but seeing Zhou Nansheng's excitement, somehow he swallowed the words back.

Zhou Nansheng leaned against his head, stretched out his index finger and gestured on the ground, "My name is Zhou Nansheng, which is easy to remember. Our village is called Nancun, so I am called Nansheng. This is what my mother told me. Zhoutang's Most of them are surnamed Zhou, like the little black guy who played with us today, his name is Zhou Jin, don’t look at his honest appearance, he’s actually quite a thief—next time I’ll take you fishing for lobsters, didn’t you? Have you ever fished for lobster?"

Xie Xuan shook his head.

Zhou Nansheng knew this look, and said with an air: "Actually, lobsters are very easy to catch. First, go catch a frog, kill it, peel off the skin, hang it on the line, find a bamboo stick and tie it to it." Oh, lobsters are actually very stupid. I know a place where there are a lot of lobsters. I didn’t tell anyone. Next time we go, we can catch a big bucket in one afternoon, and we can sell them in the vegetable market and earn money. I invite you to eat purple ice cream—”

Xie Xuan didn't care for the purple ice cream in his mouth, but he yearned for the experience he told.

Children's friendship always comes quickly and easily. By the time the sun sets, they have already made an appointment to go fishing for lobsters, playing marbles, catching fireflies, fighting wars, and roasting sweet potatoes...

That night, Xie Xuan lay on the big bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his mind was full of the world described by Zhou Nansheng—two wings grew out of his back, he flew over the lush green corn field, and ran along the drainage ditches Enter the river heated by the sun, touch a handful of snails, put them into the watermelon rind, the river is swaying lightly, and run barefoot on the scalding stone road, go to the pond to grab a handful of water chestnuts to eat, and pick a whole bunch of water chestnuts. Bottle of snapdragon...

Sure enough, Zhou Nansheng took Xie Xuan to his secret treasure to fish for lobsters. While the adults were taking a nap, the two sneaked out, carrying a bucket for holding lobsters. The fishing rod was made on site, and the bait was also made by Zhou Nansheng. Caught in the roadside field, skillfully peeled.The two children walked a long way under the scorching sun, and came to a long and narrow pond where wild rice stems were grown. There were indeed many lobsters, which could be seen with the naked eye. After laying the bait, it didn’t take long before a silly lobster took the bait. It didn’t take long before I caught a small half of the bucket. If I caught a big red pincer, both of them would cheer for a while, and then silently work harder, hoping The next red snapper lobster will bite its own bait.

The first time Xie Xuan was inexperienced, he grabbed it with his hands in a novelty, but his fingers were pinched by the two powerful pliers. The pain was so painful that he couldn't shake it off. This is quite experienced, so he rescued him.

The sun was so hot that the top of the head and cheeks of the two of them were hot. It was so hot that they hid in a low loofah shed on one side. The green and fat loofah hung down, and the yellow flowers bloomed on the pedicle of the melon, which was very gratifying.The two walked back and forth under the green shade with their waists bowed, and they came out of the loofah shed. There was a small peach forest, with huge peaches hanging on the branches, green and red, plump and seductive.There is a thatched shed beside the forest, and there is a simple bed in the shed. On the bed, a man is sleeping, with his trouser legs rolled up, his arms resting on his pillow, and his face covered with a straw hat. He is a farmer resting in the field.

Zhou Nansheng rushed out, picked two of the biggest peaches, tore them off and put them in his pocket. Then, taking advantage of no one to notice, he dragged Xie Xuan away quickly. The freshness and excitement of "crime" made Xie Xuan's heart thump. Jumping wildly, experiencing a kind of adventure and happiness that has never been seen before.Running all the way to the pond, the two stopped panting.Zhou Nansheng took out the two peaches, compared them secretly, and gave the smaller one to Xie Xuan.The two squatted and bent over, washed the peaches in the water, and then sat down on the hot bluestone board used as a stepping board for the pond, with their legs soaked in the water. , I took a bite of a peach that was so hard that I felt satisfied.

The peaches were not quite ripe, but sweet.While kicking the water, Zhou Nansheng ate loudly, and he didn't forget to tell Xie Xuan about his magical experience of catching a water snake while fishing for lobsters, which made Xie Xuan amazed.

As the sun was setting in the west, they went back with a lot of enthusiasm. The buckets were already filled with two-thirds of the lobsters, and their stomachs were each filled with three green peaches, which bulged like rubber balls.At the entrance of the village, Zhou Nansheng pointed to the bucket, "One and half of us."

Xie Xuan shook her head, "I don't want it."

Zhou Nansheng wondered, "Why?" He didn't understand. For the children in the countryside, even if these lobsters were not sold in the vegetable market, they could add to the dinner table. But for Xie Xuan, lobster fishing was just a novel and fun game.What's more, he was always told not to play by the water, he was afraid of being scolded by his grandma.

"You really don't want it? Lobster is delicious."

Xie Xuan still shook his head.

"Okay." Zhou Nansheng didn't force it, besides, he really took advantage of such a bucket of lobsters all belonged to him.

Just after dinner, Zhou Nansheng came to look for Xie Xuan, but he still didn't go through the main entrance. He stood downstairs in Xie Xuan's room, raised his neck and shouted, "Saner, Saner, Xie Xuan—"

Xie Xuan had just finished taking a shower, and stuck her head out of the window. Seeing Zhou Nansheng waving desperately at him, she ran downstairs and ran to him in one breath, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Nansheng didn't speak, stretched out his hand, and stuffed something into Xie Xuan's hand——orange candy wrapped in the shape of an orange. Peeling off the transparent candy wrapper, the outside of the orange soft candy was sprinkled with fine white sugar. This kind of snack is very popular among rural children, but not every child can eat it, and it is still a relatively "high-end" snack.

Xie Xuan carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet. He thought it was better than the beautifully packaged snacks he had eaten abroad. He couldn't help squinting his eyes and laughed quietly.

Zhou Nansheng, who had been staring at him all this time, grinned with a little complacency, "It's delicious, my uncle bought it for me."

Xie Xuan handed the orange candy to him and motioned him to eat it together.Zhou Nansheng just grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth. He ate and said, "Zhou Jin and the others are arresting people over there. Are you going?"

Xie Xuan was a little embarrassed, "I want to practice the piano—" Because he slipped out to play in the afternoon, the old lady asked him to make up the time for piano practice.

Zhou Nansheng showed a strange expression, "You can also play the piano—"

Xie Xuan nodded, a little shy, "Well, the piano."

Zhou Nansheng stuck out his tongue secretly in his heart, admiring him - he thought of a girl in class who could play the accordion, and she looked so proud at the June [-] Art Performance.But when he really saw Xie Xuan sitting on the piano bench and playing the piano, he knew that it was completely different from the girl playing the accordion.Before he knew what elegance and tranquility are, he had already imprinted that landscape deeply in his heart——

The young man playing the piano has the most beautiful side face and the most calm posture in the world - the night is gentle, not as gentle as his brows and eyes, and the moonlight is as bright as his complexion.The clarity and purity reflected in his clear eyes are like the love appointed by fate.

The author has something to say: the story is relatively slow.

These chapters describe what happened when they were young, and what happened when they grew up in a small town in the south. I have experienced it in my childhood, and I have a deep memory.

I feel lucky to have such a childhood.

Also, one thing to note is that the protagonist I wrote is definitely Gong.
