Chapter 002
The population of Ye Qingshui’s family is very simple. Grandpa Ye gave birth to two sons. Both sons joined the army. The eldest son died gloriously, while the younger son is still in the army.
Grandpa passed away a few years ago, and now there are only three women in the family. Although there is only an orphan and a widows, it is a glorious military family home, and it has some reputation in the whole brigade.
Ye Qingshui patted the garlic, lavishly dripped a few drops of lard and fried a sweet potato leafy vegetable, the green leaves were dripping.
Not long after she set up the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Apo and Ye Ma came to the chaifang for dinner one after another. At the same time,
Ye Ma said eagerly, "Shui'er, put one more bowl."
"Xiao Xie's friends are staying at our house for dinner today.”
Fortunately, this Ye Qingshui was charged to Ye Qingshui 40 years later. The habit of cooking according to head and appetite had long been changed, otherwise it would be embarrassing now.
But having said that, this year, it is not very kind to leave a meal without saying hello to the host's family in the countryside.
Ye Qingshui hadn't figured out which friend of Xie Tingyu's visit would be, his voice came before anyone else.
"Brother Yu, I will bother you?" The man's loud voice revealed a bit of enthusiasm and frivolousness.
"Yeah." Xie Tingyu responded briefly.
Ye Qingshui raised her head and plunged into the man's eyes. This... is Shen Weimin.
He has a good relationship with Xie Tingyu, and he is also from the capital of the motherland. In Ye Qingshui's impression, most of the educated youths from the capital have eyes on their foreheads, and they always look down on the country folks.
She don't know if she can treat this kind of good "young master" with the meal tonight. Ye Qingshui slandered silently.
She personally gave Shen Weimin a bowl of rice, with more rice and less sweet potatoes, very sincere.
After Xie Tingyu sat down, he unscrewed the bottle of wine. Ye Qingshui glanced at it. She recognized the brand: Zhuyeqing, a Shanxi product. The imported soft wine is long and strong. Shanxi people are good at brewing vinegar and making wine. A bottle costs three and a half yuans.
In the Red Flag Commune, one centimeter is worth one cent, and the strong labor of the brigade can earn eight centimeters a day. In her last life, she was ignorant without knowing it. At this moment, Ye Qingshui only felt that Xie Tingyu was quite generous.
The pale green wine bottle was held by Xie Tingyu, and the clear wine was slowly poured into Ye's stoneware ocean bowl.
This quiet manner made the irritable Shen Weimin silent for three minutes, and then he raised his head and stared at Ye Qingshui coldly for a full three seconds.
Look carefully at the scheming woman who wants to marry Xie Tingyu.
There is a great posture of fighting for the brothers.
Shen Weimin had something to say. He took a piece of braised pork and put it in a bowl.
"Can I call you Comrade Ye?"
"Comrade Ye, don't look at what brother Yu is eating now. He was pick eater. When He was a kid. It’s horrible. He don’t like fat but only lean meat. Oh, it’s too thin. Plum meat is his favorite. When he was a child, his mother was so sad that she wanted to throw it away. He couldn’t swallow rice, nor noodles. He loves to eat, he never takes a look at the milk powder that our uncle asked someone to buy. From now on..."
He said lazily, "I have to trouble you to take care of it."
What is the condition of the Ye family? In the shabby room of the tent, even a kerosene lamp was reluctant to use.
The walls of the wood house were blackened by firewood ashes. On the day of the wedding, Shen Weimin only found his eyes black when he came to see it.
They could only blame for this rural woman coz she is so scheming, she is sturdy one by one, and she is afraid of men meeting him.
Shen Weimin suspected that this woman wanted to rely on his brother Yu because of her poverty.
These curse cultural people , with a dirty word. Ye Qingshui couldn't help but curse secretly when she heard this. If it wasn't for the time for the whole family to eat together, Ye Qingshui could teach Shen Weimin to be a good talking person.
Fortunately, Ye Apo and Ye Ma were open-hearted, and they were sucking and eating braised pork very seriously, without looking up at him at all.
The meat is so fragrant and delicious! The two women couldn't hear other voices anymore, so they immersed themselves in eating.
Taking advantage of Xie Tingyu's dislike of eating fatty meat, Ye Qingshui vigorously added a few more pieces of meat to her grandma and Ye Ma, and took ah hand when there were still a few pieces left in the bowl.
She still said affectionately: "Plum meat? The plum meat in a pig does not exceed ten catties. However, plum meat is not greasy to eat. It is nothing unusual. You can try this bowl of Dongpo meat. ? "
"If you don't have to eat it, look down on the fat. Don't you scholars like to be practical and realistic. You should try a piece too? Since Brother Yu doesn't like it, I will give grandma and mother-in-law more pinch points."
Speaking, she enthusiastically put a piece of meat into Shen Weimin's bowl.
Xie Tingyu, who had been silent like air, found that the meat on the table was almost divided. He silently moved back the wine he poured into Shen Weimin bowl and finally said, "Eat well, can't this bowl of meat stop your mouth?"
Shen Weimin knew that he was upset, so he closed his mouth. He came here specially for his brothers and refused to even drink a bowl of wine. As for the meat that Ye Qingshui made himself, he didn't bother to eat an extra piece.
However, Shen Weimin soon became speechless... the red enamel-like meat was on his tongue, and his fat body rubbed the sesame oil softly in Shen Weimin's mouth.
The sweet and round taste slowly dissipated and encroached on all of Shen Weimin's senses.
His taste buds seemed to explode, and his saliva quickly enveloped the piece of meat. When the teeth bite, the fat flesh spreads out smoothly, the lean flesh is pliable and unyielding, but it is quickly snapped off by the teeth, and the mouth is full of sweetness and deliciousness.
Ye Qingshui put Shen Weimin's expression into her eyes, his face was grinning, and his heart...well.
With great regret, she took a piece and threw it into her mouth, and said with a pity: "Leave the last few pieces to Brother Yu."
"It seems that you don't like the Dongpo meat I made."
Shen Weimin In fact, he still likes it, but he wants face, so he can't speak.
The corners of Xie Tingyu's lips were slightly flattened and his eyes flashed, and finally smiled. He took a piece and tasted it. The taste was really good.
Shen Weimin clamped his brows and watched his brother Yu eat piece by piece, and ate it clean.
After dinner, Ye Ma actively took the initiative to take care of her work diligently and sent Ye Qingshui out.
"You young people talk more. Comrade Shen graduated from high school. You have a lot of knowledge. Shui'er, you should learn more how to speak do things from other s."
Ye Ma is a typical honest person, simple and straightforward. Student children are very respectful and respect cultural knowledge.
She couldn't bear to throw away all the papers with words at home, and she kept them properly. With such a strong sense of hers, Ye Qingshui only finished reading Gao Xiao, which is really her biggest heart disease.
Ye Qingshui pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing. She was completely convinced that her mother didn't mean to be crooked, but Shen Weimin's expression was a bit subtle.
When Shen Weimin left, he didn't need to hide his disgust with Ye Qingshui. He looked down on such a scheming woman. What a terrible woman this is!
Full of backward thinking, stupid and uneducated, Shen Weimin thought that she would be like a savage woman at the brigade in the future, with her mouth full of vulgar slang and open her mouth and asked Brother Yu for money, he shook his head.
He looked at Ye Qingshui and said, "You can marry Brother Yu thanks to his softheartedness. Don't be proud, you will have to return all these in the future."
Ye Qingshui was stunned after hearing this, and stood at the door watching Shen Weimin leave, until his figure completely disappeared and she was not willing to return to the house.
He was right. After many years, didn't all these have been returned?
Does Ye Qingshui regret it?
She regretted it a bit. It's useless to think too much.
Ye Qingshui drew the water from the well and dipped the salt with wicker to rinse her teeth.
Many farmers in the mountain ditch have never seen the world in their lives. In the past few years, the industrialized products have gradually been passed on. Ye Qingshui was once disliked by Xie Tingyu before, and then learned to brush her teeth with toothbrushes and toothpaste, learn to wear clean clothes, learn to wipe her face with Pecho antelope, learn cultural knowledge, and learn a lot...
She walked into her room and used matches to lit the oil lamp with a "chatter", the wick was not long enough, she picked the wick.
The humble room is only brightened up, and it is too harsh to describe it by its practical simplicity. Ye Qingshui's uncle would send 30 yuan back every month, and the Ye family could afford to live in a tile house. The best room uncle had long been given to her, and now it is more than enough for Xie Tingyu's objects.
She wiped her hair with a towel, and her eyes swept across the house that she had seen countless times in her dream. Staring at the clock hung on the wall by Xie Tingyu, the flute with ashes, and the cabinet is full of manuscripts.
Ye Qingshui's thumb touched it, and Xie Tingyu's voice came in her ear.
He said: "Is it convenient for Comrade Ye ? Let's talk."
Ye Qingshui nodded, and Xie Tingyu closed the door, poked his head out of the window and looked at the window with his hands.
The thin figure with its back facing Ye Qingshui, with its shoulder blades slightly protruding, facing the last afterglow of the setting sun, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
It was indeed that the Cherokee shirt he wore after the shower was too clean and shiny white.
Xie Tingyu sat in a precarious position and slowly said: "I want to ask you, what do you think of our marriage?"
He said: "I saved you, not trying to marry you, do you know it?"
" I am willing to marry you, not because I am afraid of gossips and hooligans."
His thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said in a seductive manner: "So I saved you and helped you, so you don't want to do anything that brother me okay?"
"I don't have that kind of affection for you. In my heart, you are a little girl who hasn't grown up. You are about the same age as my sister. Can we get along like friends?"
He looked at her who didn't say a word and didn't want embarrass her too much. Instead, he took out a harmonica from the drawer and handed it to her, changing the subject in a relaxed tone:
"Don't jump into the river in anger next time. A life is much more precious than this death things.”
The shell of the Soviet harmonica is made of steel, and the reeds are golden, reflecting the brilliant silver light, making the man’s spacious palm more rosy.
Ye Qingshui caught the harmonica that fell from his palm, heavy. This was something that hadn't happened in the previous life. She was in a daze and asked unconsciously:
"Why give it to me?"
She regretted asking this sentence, and Xie Tingyu in this life would never be able to tell the answer.
All the conspiracies and designs back then were due to this harmonica.
Xie Tingyu has a beloved harmonica. He will use it to play a beautiful singing voice. After the educated youth have finished their work, there is no entertainment. Many times they listen to Xie Tingyu's music to relieve their boredom. It was just that she took a sip of this harmonica, and Xie Tingyu threw it away in disgust.
She couldn't ask for it, and in his eyes it was a kind of rubbish to avoid. Angrily, she jumped into the river to pick it up.
After catching it in her arms, Ye Qingshui silently thought: If she drowned because of this, would Xie Tingyu come to rescue her regretfully? In the end, he really came to rescue her. In fact, she is good at water, and only a moment of deep malice has keep her in front of her Xie Tingyu for most of her life.
When Xie Tingyu heard Ye Qingshui's question, he was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect that she would ask such a simple question..
