Shangqiaotou Village, Qiaotou Town

People live with a heart. If you are happy and positive, and feel that there is something to look forward to in this day, it really has something to look forward to. The family is lively and harmonious, and this day will be more and more prosperous; of course You are going to be discouraged these days, and you can only be declining day by day, and shabby every day; the old generation is very reasonable when they say, "A poor person must have something to hate", so this person is pitiful, first of all I have to feel sorry for myself.

The old bachelor Hong lived a life of discouragement in the past few years, and he was unreasonable when he saw people. Although he looked diligent and diligent, when he looked down on himself, he felt inferior everywhere; since Le Sheng came, this The state of mind has changed, especially after he has a different mind for Le Sheng, this man is more motivated; a man is not easily tempted, but once he gets motivated, he can't wait to give away the best things in the world. Give it to the person he loves, a man who loves another person with all his heart, will not be lazy, what he can do is limited by his ability, but he will definitely do his best, this is called "hope", Hong Sheng's "hope" is to let Le Sheng enjoy happiness with him.

The changes in the lives of Hong Sheng's family were noticed by the villagers, and sometimes the idle people would help other people's families to settle their accounts.

"Look at Hong Sheng's family, this year's millet has been beaten for at least two thousand catties?"

"Oh, did I fight with him? It's seven or eight sacks, and it weighs two thousand catties."

"The price of this millet is not low this year. The five mu of land is at least four or five hundred!"

"Where does it stop (meaning more than enough), Hong Sheng's family has planted a few acres of corn (corn) this year, and they have harvested a lot. This year, Hong Sheng, it's a good job (meaning rich)"

As the saying goes, if a person is lucky, he can't stop it. Seeing that this booming year is about to pass, he didn't expect the 31-year-old "old bachelor" Hong Sheng to usher in a red flower Peach Blossom; what a pity, this peach blossom came at an inappropriate time and almost turned Hong Sheng's family upside down.Let me first say that Hong Sheng and Le Sheng have been "comfortable" three or four times after the previous three times. Among them, Le Sheng said three times, "Hong Sheng, I feel uncomfortable again!" Hold back; just imagine, holding the person in my arms every night, even though Hong Sheng is 31 years old, he is still young. Just like drug addiction, if you can't quit, you can only endure it.

It is said that this afternoon, Hong Sheng was tidying up the washed clothes in the house, and Le Sheng was vigorously brushing the hair in the yard, but he heard a woman's laughter from a distance. Before the person arrived, the voice had already come.

"Hong Sheng, the second sister-in-law has brought you a happy event!"

"Hong Sheng? ~ Hong Sheng is at home?"

When Hong Sheng heard this, he responded, put down his work, and greeted him out of the yard. This second sister-in-law is the second granddaughter-in-law of Hong Sheng's grandpa's brother's eldest son. She is also nearly 40 years old and usually likes to do some work. She was the one who told Hong Sheng's last daughter-in-law about the business of being a matchmaker. In private, she was called "Mr. Wang's matchmaker".

"Second sister-in-law, why are you free to sit here today?"

"You can say wow, I am usually busy, and you are also busy. I finally got a free time to come and see our brother Hong Sheng. Hong Sheng, your family is getting better and better these days!"

"Second sister-in-law was joking!"

"I have a car and a mule, so I'm missing a wife?" The second sister-in-law said with a smile and looked at Hong Sheng. Touching Heibei on the stool, he listened to the two talking with his ears closed; Hong Sheng glanced at Le Sheng quietly, and said,

"Second sister-in-law is joking again, I don't have that life, and I don't plan to marry."

"Whether you live or not is not determined by the notes (money) in your pocket (meaning in your pocket), you are only 31, are you going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

Hong Sheng lowered his head and smiled, took a cigarette and lit it; Hong Sheng didn't smoke before, or he would just play with it when someone gave him one during Chinese New Year. Yes, sometimes I feel uncomfortable holding Lesheng, and I sit in the yard alone in the middle of the night and smoke one, so that I can get rid of the thoughts I shouldn't have.At this moment, Hong Sheng was smoking a cigarette, didn't speak, and didn't look at anyone. The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said again,

"Don't say it's you, in a few years your life will be better (wealthy), the second sister-in-law will also tell us Lesheng brothers, and keep your life happy."

When Le Sheng heard this, he suddenly looked up at Hong Sheng and asked,

"Hong Sheng, are you going to marry a wife?"

Hong Sheng didn't reply, didn't raise his head, just smoked a cigarette dully by himself, his heart was in a mess, to be honest, after having Le Sheng, the idea of ​​marrying a wife would be cleaner, but now that he has Opportunity, it's not that I want to marry too much, but I just think, maybe if I marry, and Le Sheng will marry in two years, the unclear relationship between the two of them will return to normal, right?When the time comes, Le Sheng thinks that a woman's body is better, even if one day he becomes "clear and clear", no matter what, he won't blame himself for the "wrong things" he did to him, right?At that time, the two will at least be brothers. Although they can't lie in the same bed, they can still eat in the same pot.But at this time, Le Sheng didn't understand his painstaking efforts. When he heard that he was going to marry a wife, the first reaction in his mind was that Hong Sheng didn't want him anymore. The most important thing was that although Hong Sheng didn't agree, he also agreed Did not refuse, at this time the second sister-in-law said,

"Lesheng, don't worry, the second sister-in-law will tell you about a daughter-in-law in two years. Our Lesheng brother is handsome, this daughter-in-law, the second sister-in-law will definitely not tell you bad."

"I don't want a daughter-in-law!" Le Sheng yelled fiercely, startling Hong Sheng and the second sister-in-law, and even Hei Bei stood up suddenly. The second sister-in-law patted her chest and looked at Le Sheng took a look and said,

"Ah, what's wrong with you, Lesheng? You're so startled, you're scared to death!"

Hong Sheng looked at Le Sheng at this time, and said to his second sister-in-law,

"Second sister-in-law, look at my situation, forget it!"

The second sister-in-law still didn't give up and said,

"Look at you, brother Hong Sheng, the second sister-in-law is the best matchmaker for you. The woman will not dislike us, Le Sheng. The other party is also bringing a ten-year-old girl. The man has been dead for three years. You are so young, you are only 29 years old, if you live well, maybe I can give you another one..."

"Get out!" Before the second sister-in-law finished speaking, Le Sheng yelled again, with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she was about to eat people, which frightened the second sister-in-law for a long time, and then said,

"Look at you, Le Sheng, you are really ignorant. Hong Sheng treats you well. You have to be grateful. He is only a young man in his 30s (meaning young man), because you let him beat you as a bachelor? In the village People say that you are a God of Wealth, you must know how to praise..."

"go out!"

Hong Sheng stood up suddenly at this time, and said to Le Sheng in a slightly stern tone,

"Lesheng, why did you talk to the second sister-in-law!"

When Le Sheng heard Hong Sheng talking to him in such a fierce tone, he felt so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say, his eyes turned red, and he turned his head and took his anger out on his second sister-in-law.

"get out!"

While talking, he started to push people, Hong Sheng saw this posture, and hurried forward to pull, at this time Hei Bei also rushed over, first barked a few times, as if to cheer Le Sheng, Seeing Le Sheng's hand, he also rushed forward, biting the second sister-in-law's trousers and pulling it out; don't look at Le Sheng's foolishness, but the Hei Bei Ke he raised is very fine, and he has been in the Wang family for more than a year , eating and drinking, wait for it, it is black and shiny, and it stands half the height of a person. When it was in the field, it helped them catch two hares, and once caught a hare with some young people in the village. A wild boar is also considered "famous" in Qiaotou Village. Hei Bei never bites, and he doesn't like to bark when he has nothing to do. Every day he follows Le Sheng's bodyguards around him; Yes, just wag its tail twice, those who don't care, don't lift their eyelids, very proud; Heibei knows everyone in the village, of course this second sister-in-law is no exception, don't watch it open its mouth at this time Wow, he bit down, but he only grabbed the opponent's trousers, and the hair on his leg didn't touch the opponent, otherwise this Heibei is smart; The media can be so embarrassed, a big black dog half the height of Heihuhu rushed up, and it was so scared that "Oh my god", it would not go away if its legs were weak. Hong Sheng saw this formation, dragged Le Sheng, and at the same time He scolded Hei Bei, but in the end, Hei Bei didn't dump him at all, and just dragged his second sister-in-law out of the house... If Hei Bei wanted to have hands and feet, the second sister-in-law was probably thrown out, but at this time the second sister-in-law The sister-in-law was not much better, Heibei dragged her out, and only let go when she got to the gate, stood guard by the door, barking at her, the second sister-in-law sat on the ground with limp legs, sweating all over her face, It took me a long time to get up and run.The chattering people gathered in the village could not help being curious when they heard Hong Sheng's house making noise from a distance, and then saw that the matchmaker woman was dragged out by Hei Bei;

"Wang Quan (the man's name of the second sister-in-law)'s family, what's wrong with you? Why did Hei Bei drag you out!"

The second sister-in-law was still in shock. She patted her chest with one hand and wiped her sweat with the other. It took a long time to get up and look at her legs. There was no injury at all, but her pants were torn. She recovered and cursed.

"Hong Sheng's family raised a white-eyed wolf!"

"What's wrong with you?" The onlookers all stared at the second sister-in-law with curious eyes.

"Do you think this Hong Sheng committed a crime and kindly took in such a thing..."

The second sister-in-law was chattering about her "good intentions and no rewards" treatment, while Le Sheng at Hong Sheng's house was already "demolition of the house".

It is said that the second sister-in-law was dragged out by Hei Bei, and Le Sheng burst into tears uncontrollably. He stared at Hong Sheng and asked,

"Hong Sheng, you don't want me to be your wife?"

Hong Sheng sighed deeply and said,

"Le Sheng, how can I not want you anymore? You are a man, how can you be my daughter-in-law? How about I tell my second sister-in-law and ask her to tell you one first. When you know that this woman is good, you At that time, if you still want to live with brother, we will stay together, if you don’t want to live, brother will build you a new house, and you will live with your wife!”

When Le Sheng heard it, the tears fell even more fiercely, and it took a long time before he yelled out,

"I don't want a wife!"

After yelling, he threw Hong Sheng away and rushed home, throwing quilts, mattresses, pillows, kang mats... piles and piles outside. , squatting in the yard smoking a cigarette, the suffocation in his chest was even more intense, he turned and went outside, smashed the basin, bowl, and chopsticks; suddenly felt a pain in the upper eyelid, and a drop of blood slid down the end of the eye, It was like a drop of red tear; it turned out that it was a bowl of crumbs bouncing off the wall, cutting the eyelid, reaching out to touch it, and found his own blood, Le Sheng was stunned for a few seconds, and then he was like crazy, seeing They smashed everything, until they smashed everything inside and outside the house, and then squatted on the ground and cried.The people in the village heard the ping pong pong of their house, and wanted to come in curiously, but Hei Bei was like a door god, blocking the door fiercely, and no one could get in. Someone shouted,

"Hong Sheng, what are you doing? If you have something to say, talk it out, don't fight!"

"Hong Sheng, Le Sheng is not sensible, just let him go, don't do anything!"

……

Hong Sheng sat alone in the yard, listening to Le Sheng smashing inside, without stopping or making a sound, smoking one cigarette after another, his heart is now worse than the smashed home. chaos.Hearing Lesheng's cry, his heart throbbed with pain, but his legs seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he couldn't stand up. At this time, he wanted to shake Lesheng to "wake him up", and asked,

"Are you sure you really want to be my wife? You're a man, and I'm a man too. Are you sure you won't regret living with me forever?"

But can he "wake up" after shaking Lesheng?Can he suddenly understand what he is doing?Or can Le Sheng, who has "woke up", really give him the answer he wants? ... Hong Sheng felt so uncomfortable in his heart that he couldn't express it, and he couldn't express it.Just let Le Sheng smash it, smash it with great joy, and everyone may feel better.

Le Sheng finished crying, rested for a while, stood up, sobbed, turned and left the house, without looking at Hong Sheng, he went out, not knowing where he was going, but subconsciously walked towards the middle of the mountain; Still following step by step.
