Seventy Little Heads

I didn’t think so before, but once I graduated from primary school, I suddenly felt that I was no longer a child. In the past, even a dog would never think of himself as a runny-nosed kid, but his age was there, but now it’s the difference between myself and others. When you were a little kid again... the feeling is indescribable.

In rural areas, teenagers can be said to be the age of children or adults.

When Da Zhuang told him that he was getting married, Goudan was stunned. Da Zhuang was two years older than him, and he was also one of the people who graduated from elementary school last year and did not continue their studies.But Goudan always feels that they went to install a mousetrap together a few days ago, and secretly went into the water to fish in the reservoir with their naked buttocks together, but this little friend suddenly told you that he was going to marry a wife and have children.

He will be 17 years old soon, a tall and strong black boy who looks simple and simple, with big white teeth, and he looks embarrassed when talking about his fiancée.

"It's not just me, there are actually a few in our class, and the family is introducing people, that Qingli, you know, we are in the same class, and he is going to get married next month, and he is marrying his natal family." The man. That husband is one year younger than her."

"Your class, it won't be long before we play together in your class, maybe the family is talking about a daughter-in-law. Daniel, you know, one year older than you, sixteen, said to be with the fourth grade neighbor village The person we were talking to was discovered by his family, and his natal family immediately chased him over and scolded him for taking his daughter badly, and refused to let him marry, saying that their family was not only poor, but also didn’t treat other people’s daughters as human beings.”

Daniu and Goudan are in the same class, looking gloomy all day long, "Can he find a wife like that?" The world is simply too strange.

"Didn't his father beat his mother all the time? Uncles also love to beat their wives. Now when people talk about their men, they don't like to talk about their wives, and matchmakers don't like to pick up jobs. They say it's bad for their morals." Yes, they don't know either, the old lady likes to gossip, sometimes she just listens to her.

"His grandma said that he wanted his eldest sister to exchange marriages for someone else, and for the two uncles below him. His uncle is almost thirty, and if he doesn't have a wife, he will only be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Even widows look down on their family. "Isn't it?Most of the widows have children with them, let alone their children.

Goudan and his gang don’t know much about Daniu. Daniel doesn’t like to play with others, but the most surprising thing is that it’s a miracle that children from such a family can persist in finishing primary school, and their grades seem to be similar. Not bad, upper-middle level.

"when are you getting married?"

"My grandma and the others are looking at the date, choose a few, anyway, you will definitely see them before you go to school in the county, and then go pick up the bride together." Da Zhuang enthusiastically invited his friends.

As he spoke, he leaned over mysteriously and said, "Let me tell you, someone has taken a fancy to Wang Xuan and said they want to recruit..."

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

"Hey, don't worry, didn't you just pass by and hear what those women said? They said that Wang Xuan had no parents, and he was good-looking, and that he could actually get married when he was old."

"Fart, those girls, people in our family don't marry. Wang Xuan will definitely find a peerless beauty as his wife. Don't worry about those gossips."

"Don't be angry, just say it. Besides, don't you want to go to the county town to go to school? Junior high school students don't need to marry." Goudan kept saying that they were going to the county town to study and all the friends who played together knew it.

Goudan was still furious, of course he knew that marrying into a family is not a good thing, there are also people in the village who are looked down upon by men.

He said to Wang Xuan: "You must not become a married woman."

Wang Xuan, who came back from drying clothes outside, was stunned, what is it?

Then Da Zhuang said the matter quickly, and now Wang Xuan understood. "Don't worry." He also knows that the village has always thought that he is not suitable for farm work, but he is not squeamish at all, and he is not ambiguous when he should go to the field. Is it because he is not black and strong enough to deny his hard work?

Or is it because of his biological father that he has to speculate more about him?

"Hey, anyway, let's go together when the time comes. I'm so nervous about getting married for the first time. My mother told me this and that, but I don't remember much, hehe."

Goudan rolls his eyes, your brain can remember the reception, remember what your mother looks like, it’s not bad, what else can you remember?When I was studying, I rarely passed the exam.

"Then your house has been cleaned up for you?" Wang Xuan asked, he seemed to be very busy when he saw people getting married.

"It should be fine. My mother moved my younger brother and the others out of the room, and that room will be used as a wedding room for me. My younger brother and his cousins ​​will go and squeeze together. When money is more generous, we will build two thatched cottages."

"Anyway, we don't need to separate. We can get married when the house is ready. The clothes are all arranged, and I will borrow my cousin's clothes to wear."

"No new clothes?"

"Hey, isn't that money and cloth tickets are used as betrothal gifts? My mother said that I can wear them on that day, and there is no need to buy them separately."

"Then will you still hang out with us in the future?"

"I can't do it anymore. I have to go to work in the fields in the future. My mother said that I can't play like that anymore. I have to work to raise a wife and children."

This made even Goudan look sideways, this is a big friend, Goudan knows him better than himself, he loves to play, a big man with a simple mind.You are not married yet, and you know you have to work to raise a wife and children?

"Um"

When the big man left, Goudan felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, as if he had grown very slowly and the surrounding environment basically did not change.Suddenly one day, it changed, and I grew up.The elementary school that I thought would last my whole life suddenly graduates, and my little friend is going to get married and have children.He was suddenly very uncomfortable.

The long-standing habit was suddenly broken, and everything felt strange.

"This summer is so hot, when did you say it will rain?"

"Didn't it just rain yesterday?"

"……yes."

Goudan lay bored on the sleeping net weaved by himself with thick ropes, Wang Xuan moved his things out, and began to chop and pound medicine.

"I don't know if he received the medicine that was mailed to Uncle Chen last time, and whether it works well, eh."

"It's definitely useful."

Wang Xuan stopped talking. They have been thinking about them these past few years, but Goudan seems to be a little awkward every time he mentions Chen Zhengguo, and they don't have anything else good to return.The wild apricots and chestnuts he picked on the mountain, etc., he pickled and dried them together with the dog eggs, and processed the chestnuts, and then mailed them to others.

Although they are not worth much, there are wild goods that can be harvested on the mountain. They don't need a penny, and they are embarrassed, but they really don't have any valuable things in their hands.Unexpectedly, Chen Zhengguo said that his family likes to eat it very much, thank them so much.

I don't know if it's true or not, but Wang Xuan thinks it might be to deceive them. There's nothing in the capital, where is the food they lack?Maybe it's because of their self-esteem.

At that time, I didn't know much about this, and I was very happy. Now that I think about it, their dry goods in the mountains may be really worthless.The stamp money you paid is worth more than that big bag, right?

"Then don't give it to him. If he thinks it's good, he will ask you for it."

"We still need to prepare. Anyway, if we make too much, we will store it in the treasure."

Once Goudan accidentally mentioned in a letter that Wang Xuan was studying medicine by himself, because there were no real patients to practice for him, Wang Xuan was very distressed, etc., and then said that those medicines were very effective, how powerful Wang Xuan was, etc.

I just mentioned a few words, but when the person wrote back, he said casually: "It's so powerful, give me two medicines for my uncle, my uncle's leg hurts a lot recently."

Then Wang Xuan actually dispensed medicines for others. After much deliberation, he felt that he hadn't seen the patients with his own eyes, and it was not good to take it internally, so he made it into ointment and packed it in small bottles.I specially wrote some usages and so on and mailed it together with Goudan's letter paper.

Goudan believes in Wang Xuan's ability, just like Wang Xuan is always convinced of Goudan's ability. They are much older now, and several years of study have made them deeply aware of the "things" in the Guanzhu baby. "None of them are ordinary products.Even the inheritance they have learned cannot be easily shown to others.

The barefoot doctor in the village has good medical skills. After careful observation and seeing the medicine he prescribed for the villagers' minor ailments, Wang Xuan believed even more that the master's treatment was not simple.

What they have learned is the inheritance left by the same person, so if they really learn it, it won't be too bad.

The more one grows up and the more one learns deeply, the more one fears and dreads the temple master.Fortunately, he died a hundred years ago, and his remnant soul has disappeared.

This is the happiest thing for Goudan and Wang Xuan.It is also something that makes them vigilant at all times. I am very worried that there are such people in other parts of the world. When the time comes, they will be like ants in the eyes of others.

At the same time, Chen Zhengguo, who was staying in the nursing home, looked at the things in front of him in a daze. A letter and a small bottle of... medicine?

Chen Zhengguo did not open the small bottle with a stopper wrapped in a little red cloth, but opened the letter that was delivered to him after a few laps.There were actually two separate pieces of letter paper inside?

Chen Zhengguo looked at the familiar handwriting first, it was Goudan's handwriting.The beginning is still the same as usual, but the format of the letter is correct, and the book for several years is not in vain. Recalling the first thank-you letter he received a few years ago, to be honest, he really had to guess most of it.

Goudan's envelope was very short, probably just a greeting, and then explained that Wang Xuan heard that he had knee pain, so he prepared medicine for him, and attached an instruction manual.

Chen Zhengguo put down Goudan's letter, and opened a neatly folded piece of letter paper, oh, the handwriting is quite neat and beautiful, and it is many times better than Goudan's barely readable dog crawling characters. This is called writing.

I thought to myself, if Goudan asks Wang Xiaozi to write letters for him in the future, he will feel so happy and enjoy when he reads the letters.

"So it's the ointment that I made myself?" He thought it was prepared by a doctor and given to him. "It seems that this kid was sincere when he praised Wang Xuan for his strength."

He just said that, teased him, and stopped him from bragging, but in the end he actually mailed him the ointment prepared by Wang Xuan?Not to mention that the medicines used by people like them are the best in the hospital every time they are injured, but the elders in the family who know each other always ask for the prescriptions prescribed by famous doctors.But the most is to relieve, to raise slowly, and when it recurs, no medicine or acupuncture will help.

It was so painful that I didn't even know how to cry, that kind of wailing, that kind of soreness, that kind of cold pain, I really wanted to cut it off.

It is said that it cannot be completely cured, but can only be tolerated. The effect of the drugs used to relieve is getting weaker and weaker.If this continues, he can only switch to a civilian job.How many former comrades-in-arms have suffered injuries and tortured all their lives after retiring.

Chen Zhengguo knew the child's kindness, and when he thought about it, he hadn't seen him for several years, and he still had their children in his mind.I couldn't tell the reason at the beginning, maybe it was an old friend.Otherwise, I wouldn't think of helping a doll who met twice.
