4, the hand that does not exist(1/2)
The Great Era 1994 The Belt Gets Wider and I Don’t Regret 4, Holding Hands That Didn’t Exist. Xiong Baizhou returned home and started packing his luggage for tomorrow’s trip south.
Since I don’t have much to carry, an old military bag is enough.
Li Juan walked in, stuffed Xina's two pairs of shoes into the bag, and checked to see if there was anything missing in the bag.
Xiong Baizhou looked at the busy Li Juan and suddenly said: "Mom, you should pay attention to your health at home and don't be too tired."
Li Juan turned her head. The long hours of hard work made this woman look older than her actual age. She squeezed out a kind smile from the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes and continued to tidy up in silence.
Xiong Baizhou thought to himself: This is his mother. He didn’t know why in his previous life he was so cruel that he worked outside for so long and deliberately didn’t go home during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, Xiong Baizhou still had paranoid hatred for his parents.
So in the end, Xiong Baizhou, who had made money, wanted to bring his mother from the countryside to the city, but her mother refused to leave at all. She said she would stay with Xiong Zhengjun's grave so that she could feel at ease.
After his mother passed away, Xiong Baizhou suddenly realized that this was because there was a gap between his mother and himself, and he did not want to disturb him anymore.
Thinking of this, even after rebirth, Xiong Baizhou's heart aches.
Fortunately, God gave him another chance, a chance to atone for his sins. Xiong Baizhou would not let such a tragedy happen again in this life.
In the evening, Xiong Baizhou did something that surprised his family again - he actually started tutoring his younger brother Xiong Baize and younger sister Xiong Jiao in their homework.
In the previous life, Xiong Baizhou knew that he was going to work, so he hid at home with low self-esteem, and had a very bad temper. His younger brothers and sisters were often scolded by him.
Under the kerosene lamp, Xiong Baizhou carefully guided his younger siblings in their homework.
Although electric lights were common at that time, Li Juan was usually used to lighting kerosene lamps after meals in order to save electricity.
Xiong Jiao is the youngest and the least likely to concentrate. She often raises her head and stares at Xiong Baizhou while listening to her homework.
After Xiong Baizhou noticed it, she quickly lowered her head.
The future fate of these two siblings was also quite tortuous.
Although Xiong Baize was admitted to high school, he was not admitted to college. In the end, he followed Xiong Baizhou's engineering team and wandered around doing work.
Xiong Jiao was admitted to college and got married after graduation. However, her husband had a car accident, and Xiong Jiao lived alone with her children.
Xiong Baizhou was immersed in his thoughts.
Xiong Jiao suddenly spoke: "Brother, are you leaving home?"
Xiong Baizhou looked at this little girl, who was thin, with slightly yellow hair, and her own shadow reflected in her eyes.
Xiong Baizhou felt a little distressed, but said calmly: "Brother, I'm going to make money, buy you meat, and buy you new clothes."
There was a bright moonlight outside the door. Xiong Baizhou finished instructing his younger brothers and sisters on their homework, breathed the night air, opened the wooden door and took a walk in the countryside.
With the sound of dogs barking and frogs croaking in his ears, Xiong Baizhou just felt that life was wonderful.
He was walking casually without any purpose, but by some strange coincidence, Xiong Baizhou arrived at Zhou Shujun's door.
The village is small and everyone knows each other where they live.
But Xiong Baizhou was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Shujun's home in front of him. Maybe he had just been thinking about why Zhou Shujun missed him.
In the previous life, Xiong Baizhou and Zhou Shujun had no communication at all. In the end, they were completely separated from each other and had no contact. Unexpectedly, when he went south to work, Zhou Shujun, who only focused on studying, would be distracted and concerned about his own destiny.
It's a pity that Xiong Baizhou didn't know about this matter at all before. Many years later, when they met their old classmates, Zhang Zijian and others who knew about it might have forgotten it...
While I was thinking, a figure appeared.
At that time, there were no computers or mobile phones, and young people had very good eyesight. Xiong Baizhou could tell it was Zhou Shujun as soon as he looked at her.
Xiong Baizhou, who was just taking a walk, wanted to turn around and leave, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, he froze.
Zhou Shujun also saw a figure in front of her. When she got closer, she realized that it was Xiong Baizhou. She let out a breath and looked frightened.
Zhou Shujun was holding a big bag of millet. Xiong Baizhou knew that it was going to be dried tomorrow. Children in rural areas have already become the masters of the family. After studying, they have to help with the farm work at home.
Zhou Shujun was startled, blushed a little, and was about to ask questions.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Baizhou took the lead and asked in advance: "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Shujun was choked. This was in front of her home, but she asked what she was doing here.
This man really knows how to find something to say.
Zhou Shujun didn't answer, feeling a little flustered.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Baizhou spoke again: "Give me the millet and I will help you get it."
Zhou Shujun said in a hurry: "It doesn't matter, I can take it, no need..."
But she underestimated Xiong Baizhou's face, or in other words, it was not the face of a young man at all.
Xiong Baizhou actually "snatched" the bag of millet from Zhou Shujun's hands and carried it on his shoulders.
During the grab, Xiong Baizhou accidentally touched Zhou Shujun's hand and neck.
Yeah, very soft.
Xiong Baizhou thought this in his heart.
The two of them walked like this for a few steps. Zhou Shujun is a very smart girl. She has been robbed of the initiative twice. This time she has to hold on tightly.
She asked: "What are you doing at my door?"
Under the moonlight, Zhou Shujun's clear and beautiful face suddenly became passionate.
Xiong Baizhou originally wanted to say: "I want to ask you why you inquire about my situation."
As a result, once the words are spoken, they become
"I want to come and see you..."
Suddenly, there was no sound between the two of them, only the moonlight shone on the potholed road, and it seemed that Xia Chan had quietly hid.
A slight smile appeared on Zhou Shujun's lips, but she still did not speak. Both of them seemed to be enjoying the current atmosphere.
The place for drying millet is not far away. There are many villagers gathered there talking and there is a little light.
The graceful atmosphere was broken.
Zhou Shujun combed her hair, took a breath, and then asked: "Are you going to go out to work?"
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow."
"oh."
There was no change on the girl's face, but her eyes were no longer so vivid.
When they arrived at Shai Valley, Xiong Baizhou poured out the millet and then accompanied Zhou Shujun back.
On the way, Zhou Shujun asked softly: "Where are you going to work?"
Xiong Baizhou did not answer this question, but said: "I will come back."
Zhou Shujun thought she heard wrongly and turned her face to look at Xiong Baizhou.
Xiong Baizhou's voice was not loud, but he was firm: "I will come back to study again."
It's like a promise, like an oath.
The atmosphere gradually rose again, and this time even the moon was quietly hidden in the clouds.
Zhou Shujun's lips became lively again, and she said, "Do you remember that you helped me fight in elementary school?"
Xiong Baizhou thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember it.
"I can't remember clearly what happened decades ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter sounded like a bell.
"How old are you? It was decades ago. How come I didn't know you were so glib before?"
After Zhou Shujun finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed. It seemed like a fight between lovers.
People in rural areas get married very early. Zhou Shujun and Xiong Baizhou are the same age, both 16 this year. Girls in rural areas mature much earlier, and some of them are already married at this age.
The misty ambiguity does not mean that I don’t understand.
Zhou Shujun blushed a little and said, "It was still in elementary school. I was pushed to the ground. You went up to help them and beat them away. This was originally a small thing, but I remember it very clearly."
Xiong Baizhou thought to himself, it turns out there is this scene where the hero saves the beauty.
However, based on Xiong Baizhou's emotional intelligence at that time, it was very likely that he was not simply trying to save the beauty, but just wanted to fight with his mortal enemy.
But naturally Xiong Baizhou would not explain the reason for such a terrible sight.
"Whoever dares to bully you will not be allowed to do so."
The girl's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Then have you been protecting me until now?"
After hearing this, Xiong Baizhou knew the possible twist of this sentence - then why did you leave?
In order to prevent this sentence from appearing, Xiong Baizhou said directly: "I will come back to high school in three years and take the college entrance examination with you."
Zhou Shujun lowered her head in embarrassment.
Suddenly she asked again: "When did you have the deepest impression on me?"
