Backtracking to the Village

, he sat on the small plastic stool in the carriage, and was waving goodbye to someone, when Taoya jumped on it in the blink of an eye.

Tao Ya clasped her hands together and made a please gesture: "Brother Yu Xiqing, please take me with you, I also want to go to Wencun."

"Why are you going to Wencun?" Xiqing joked with him, "You can take a car, but give me money."

"You know me better than Brother Yu, and I haven't seen you accept money from Brother Yu..." After Taoya finished talking, she actually took the money out of her trouser pocket, "Is five yuan enough?"

"Damn, you'd better put it away, but I won't send you back."

"Success!" Taoya happily moved the small plastic stool and sat down, touching her ears and silently waiting for the position of the ear piercing - three on the left, two on the right...

The people in the village get up to work after six o'clock, and eight o'clock is considered late, but maybe because Li's family is on the outskirts of the village, Taoya didn't see many people along the way. The drug guy was sleeping leisurely on the flatbed of a tricycle, with rice wine bottles next to each other, which were filled with dark brown medicinal wine, and there were more than ten or twenty scattered medicine jars.I heard from grandma that the drug seller was a man from other provinces, chasing a woman to come to Xi Village, but unfortunately the girl died of illness before she agreed to marry him.He guarded the grave for a year or two, and then simply lived in Xicun, earning a living by selling counterfeit medicines such as "Shiquanda Supplement" that could neither cure nor kill people, and sometimes went to other villages to do business.But Tao Ya didn't think that the medicine sold would be counterfeit. He had a few words with the drug seller, and he felt that the drug seller had real talents and skills, and he had the ability to kill snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and other terrible things. It is admirable to get a person who soaks wine in a bottle.

As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more people passed Taoya's sight gradually, but at most he felt that they were kind-hearted, and he didn't really know anyone.He looked at Brother Yu with his eyes closed and rested, thinking of the Wu family that was overrun by people saying goodbye to Mr. Lu last night, he suddenly felt weird.Teacher Lu has only stayed in Sucun for a month, and Brother Yu has lived in Sucun for more than [-] years. Why... But Taoya feels that they are the same in some respects. Brother Yu left, and the mouse did not come to see him off. ; Teacher Lu left, and Teacher Jin did not come.Taoya was sure that even if they didn't say anything, Brother Yu and Teacher Lu would definitely want Mice and Teacher Jin to send them off.

When she woke up the next day, Taoya went downstairs with a disheveled face. The eldest sister caught him, and she was speechless when she saw him—his ears were red and swollen, and they were hard and hot to the touch. It hurts for him.

After eating something, the eldest sister borrowed a car to take her younger brother to Fang Qiaoqiao's clinic. Before she sat down, Taoya asked in a pitiful tone, "Uncle Fang, can I keep my pierced ears?"

The eldest sister pushed him on the stool and sat down: "Uncle Fang, look at his ears, they are inflamed."

Dr. Fang took a look at Taoya's ears and made a conclusion: "You still want to keep your ears pierced? You can't, let them grow back."

Taoya responded disappointedly: "Oh..."

The earrings that had been selected for a long time were taken off and placed on the table. Taoya held them in her palm, scolding herself for being stupid.He tossed and tossed, but only got pain.

Dr. Fang carefully examined Taoya's ears and asked, "Is the pierced ear wet?"

"Yes, I washed it with water," Taoya replied, "What's wrong?"

"Haha, no wonder it's like this, you go back and pay attention, don't get wet. You young people like to dress normally, but first of all, you have to take care of your body. Seeing that the gain outweighs the loss now."

"Can't we get wet? But after I changed the earrings, blood came out. How can I clean it without getting wet?"

"Use a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol to wipe it off."

"So that's how it is..."

After thanking Dr. Fang, the two siblings left the clinic one after the other. As soon as they went out, the eldest sister scolded: "Uncle Fang is right, it's okay to be stinky, but you still have to see a doctor, how about you?" Taoya She obediently said that she knew she was wrong, but the eldest sister didn't believe it, and continued to read on the way home, "Boys shouldn't be messed up in such a mess. What does it look like to be flirty with earrings?"

Tao Ya finally couldn't help but talk back: "Brother Heng beat you..."

The eldest sister who was driving a motorcycle in men's clothes in front of her glanced back, and Tao Ya immediately shut up. When she got home, she was still sullen and silent, and ran directly into the room, even waving her hand away when grandma asked him to eat boiled eggs.But it’s not that he really doesn’t want to eat it. The doctor said, don’t eat high-protein foods such as eggs, beef, and seafood these days. He obeyed the doctor’s advice!

During the day, it was really tormenting for Taoya to stay in the room and do nothing. He rested his hands on the window and rested his cheeks in a daze, watching the people coming and going on the street, his mind was full of fantasies, but when he went around, there was only one person left in his mind. It's something he can't control.Miraculously, within 2 minutes, the person in his mind turned into reality and entered his eyes—Taoya saw that Ah Heng was coming out of the Wu family's yard!

Taoya looked at the small wall clock that Ah Heng bought, it was not yet nine o'clock, how often would Ah Heng sleep on the bed at this count?He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, there was no shadow of the boss of the Wu family.Alas, he really can't be idle, and when he is idle, he becomes stupid again, and even the illusion comes out.

"Taoya, are you sleeping?"

Before the people in the room had time to lose their minds, a familiar voice pierced their eardrums—is the boss of the Wu family really here? !

The little fool's nerves tensed in an instant. He stood there for a while at a loss, then took a small mirror to look at his ears in a panic, and finally decided to pretend he didn't hear it after a lot of struggle.

He held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound, he just said silently in his heart, Brother Ah Heng begs you to go back quickly, and Tao Ya will come to you again after a few days when your ears are healed...

But Taoya never thought about it, Ah Heng waited outside the door for a while, not only did not go back home, but also said with a sigh: "If your ears are inflamed, you don't want to see me anymore. I don't like your ears."

Tao Ya's ears were almost attached to the door to listen to the movement outside the door. He didn't hear a word of what Ah Heng said. You thought he would be happy because of this love talk, but not at all!He also forgot that he was "sleeping", and immediately replied unconvinced: "Before you said that I look good everywhere, but now my ears are not good, so you don't like it? One day my face is not good, you Don't you like me anymore?" He was so annoyed at the elder sister, she must have told Ah Heng, there is nothing to say about it, the elder sister just likes to expose people's pain points!

Ah Heng was taken aback by the barrage of retorts that exploded in his ears, he was a little bit dumbfounded, this nonsense, it’s so exciting... He thought it was because Tao Ya was angry when he sent Teacher Lu back, but he dared not Are you venting your anger on him because of your earache?If he succeeds, he will follow his little ancestor.

"Yeah, I don't like you if you don't look good. Open the door and let me see if your face has changed. I have to think about whether I want to like you."

The boss of the Wu family really knew Taoya's temperament accurately. As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and an angry face came into view.

"Did you see, my face is fine, I am so handsome!"

Ah Heng didn't answer, he strode into the room while he didn't regret it, and looked directly at Taoya's ear.

Tsk, what a crime... The boss of the Wu family was angry and distressed: "How did you make it like this, you pierced your ears with nails?"

Tao Ya realized that she had been fooled, and immediately froze. He stretched out his hand to cover his ears, but Ah Heng grabbed his hand, and the little poor thing could only bite his lip and listen to the other party's reprimanding tone: "You really don't see it." Not even a day."

The poor guy was unconvinced: "That's not true. I live a year and nine months by myself. If I don't pay off, I can beat a cow to death with my bare hands."

He thought that the boss of the Wu family would say that one day they would be together all year round, but Ah Heng let go of one of his hands, pulled him to sit on the bed, and said, "Then you only picked the few months I was here." Not good? Sit down and let me look at your ears."

Tao Ya turned her head and didn't want him to see it: "What's so good that you don't think it's disgusting? The medicine is ready, don't worry about it."

Ah Heng said calmly, "Then I'll go back first."

What?In a hurry, Tao Ya turned her head away, just in time to meet Ah Heng who looked into her eyes with a smile, and knew that she had been tricked again, the other party's grinning appearance was really flattering, Tao Ya stretched out her hand to pinch Ah Heng's thigh The flesh on the top: "It's all your fault! If you didn't have your ears pierced, I would suffer this crime?"

"Change your surname to Lai, little rascal..." As he spoke, Ah Heng frowned, and after vaguely identifying the location of Taoya's ear piercing, he suddenly understood, "Stupid girl, wait until your ears are healed. Brother will take you to a regular place to fight again."

Even if the boss of the Wu family didn't mention Tao Ya, he planned to beat Taoya a second time, and now it was in his arms, but he curled his lips and snorted: "It hurts, I don't want to beat him anymore."

Ah Heng naturally knows how to coax him at this time: "Don't want to wear couple earrings with my brother? For example, I wear a peach and you wear a scorpion..."

Hee hee... Tao Ya was very happy, and he kissed Ah Heng's face: "Okay, that's the decision!"

This evening, the boss of the Wu family asked Taoya to come to his house to spend the night, saying that Taoya needed help with some work. The eldest sister read the big bag of things he brought, not only agreed, but also cooked mung bean seaweed syrup for Taoya. Ya take it.Fortunately, when he entered the door, the little gangster focused his attention on the food and didn't look at Taoya, otherwise Taoya would have fled to Ah Heng's room, and he shouldn't be laughed at by this snarky mouth.

Seeing half of a cup of sugar water go into the little gangster's stomach, Tao Ya finally couldn't help holding down the little gangster's hand: "You can't finish it!" After finishing speaking, she felt a little deliberately, coughed and said again , "I didn't mean to leave it for anyone to eat, but don't you think this is too sweet?"

The little gangster brushed away Taoya's hand blocking the mouth of the cup: "
