Early this morning, exciting singing came from the loudspeakers in the village, followed by a loud female voice broadcasting the general situation of Tiananmen Square in Beijing in real time.
Everyone only listened to the female voice saying that as the sky lit up slightly, the five-star red flag was slowly rising on Tiananmen Square; they heard that countless people rushed to Beijing day and night just to see the red flag flying in the sun; they heard that the square was crowded with people. , everyone could not conceal their excitement and shouted for the prosperity of the country!
People in small mountain villages listened attentively, as if they were standing in Beijing and saw this scene of celebrating the country.
Today, without exception, would be a day of celebration, if Chu Guangyao hadn't seen the matchmaker in the yard.
In particular, the man following the matchmaker looked exactly like his colleague in the factory.
"Guo Ping? Why are you at my house?" Chu Guangyao had just finished eating and was planning to go to a friend's house for a chat. However, as soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw his father leading a man and a woman into the yard. And when he took a closer look, he saw that the woman in front was elderly, smiling like a thief, and he didn't recognize her at all. The one in the back with a square face and short hair, who was passing cigarettes to his father, was his colleague!
He walked over quickly and punched the man on the shoulder, "Well, boy, you are here to give me a surprise on National Day!"
He turned around and introduced to Father Chu, "Dad, this is my colleague in the factory, his name is Guo Ping. He is two years older than me, and he usually takes good care of me."
Guo Ping smiled coquettishly on the side. The matchmaker only said that the girl had a good image and a good job. She would graduate from the Normal College next year. He must let him come to meet him. He then followed him, but he did not say that this girl was related to Chu Guangyao. It does matter.
And he knew that Chu Guangyao was the youngest in the family, so wouldn’t it be his sister who he would see later?
The matchmaker on the side rolled his eyes and spat out the nice words as if they were free of charge, "Hey, it turns out that you two know each other, that's great! If this thing comes to fruition, it will be a kiss and a happy marriage! No one would believe that such a coincidence was not God’s arrangement!”
"Her father, please call the girl out quickly and let them meet. It's not convenient for us to enter the girl's room." The matchmaker's smile never stopped. After hearing this, Father Chu agreed and hurried to the main hall to call someone.
Chu Guangyao stood next to Guo Ping. He felt as if he was struck by lightning after hearing these words. There was the sound of the door being pushed open not far away. He turned around blankly and saw his mother holding Chu Ye standing under the eaves.
She had probably been groomed, and her messy hair was tied back into two ponytails hanging on her chest. The dry mud on her shoes was cleaned, but the entire toe of her shoes was dyed black, and her face was even more stained. There were no waves, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Looking at him was no different from looking at a flower.
The matchmaker might have noticed Chu Ye's reluctance, so she pretended not to notice, walked up to greet Chu's mother with a smile, and then pushed Guo Ping forward, signaling him to speak quickly.
Guo Ping's heart beat loudly the moment he saw Chu Ye. She walked out from behind the dark door. Her figure was as slender as a green willow in the wind. Her skin was whiter than snow, her appearance was good, her face was calm and calm, but she was better than those Shy and blushing people are more likely to arouse men's protective desire.
It's not impossible to take this brother-in-law seriously, Guo Ping was secretly happy. When he introduced his situation to Chu's father and Chu's mother, he secretly cast a veiled look at Chu Guangyao.
Chu Guangyao understood, and his look was: You're such a good-looking boy, it's really unreasonable for you not to introduce us to such a beautiful sister!
When this sentence was automatically translated in his mind, he remembered last night in a flash of lightning.
His sister asked, did you say that there are many single gay men in your factory?
He felt that these words were incomprehensible at the time, and asked his parents, why would my sister ask me such things?
In an instant, he suddenly realized that when his parents asked him, he told the truth that many of his colleagues in the factory had no partners, so he was not in a hurry. He also joked that in order to find a partner, his colleagues even asked him to pay more attention to single girls in the village. .
So because of these words, the parents called the fourth sister home? He thought of those shoes covered with mud. How hurried was his sister without paying attention to her feet?
The fourth sister was not willing to go on a blind date, so why did her parents call her back?
His mind was filled with Chu Ye's cold eyes when he looked over last night. The only thing her sister said to him was that he admitted it. In his sister's mind, wasn't it because he wanted to find someone for his colleagues in the factory? The object, so that parents can pay more attention to him in the village, and even call him, his biological sister, to come back and meet him?
In an instant, his heart was cut by a knife, but just a few steps away from him, his father and mother, the matchmaker Guo Ping, were smiling, while Chu Ye, like a puppet at the mercy of others, looked over with ridicule in his eyes.
"That's enough!" He broke down and shouted, "My sister doesn't date her, please get out of here." He opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
The four people here were startled by his sudden cry, and when they reacted, they all looked ugly.
"Damn boy! Do you have the right to speak now! Get back to your house." Chu's father flew over with a cigarette rod, twisted his ears and was about to send it to his house.
Chu's mother looked embarrassed, but she was a highly qualified matchmaker and quickly adjusted her mood to continue exchanging information.
Guo Ping felt a little displeased when he saw that his good deeds had been interrupted just now. It was in vain that he usually took care of Chu Guangyao at work, but today he actually threatened him at a critical moment. But he took a deep breath and put a smile on his face. He would take care of him after he became this boy's brother-in-law.
"I won't leave! I won't leave!" Chu Guangyao bent down, broke free from the shackles on his ears, rushed to the eaves in three steps, and grabbed the matchmaker and Guo Ping with both hands, and pulled them towards Pull to the door.
"Hey! Hey! Take care of your kid!" The matchmaker was weak and almost fell down when being dragged, so he yelled at this time.
Guo Ping was very strong and quickly broke away, but he was also pushed to the door. He pushed Chu Guangyao with stern eyes and said, "Why are you so crazy? This is a matter of my life. Don't Nonsense." He sounded like a brother-in-law educating his younger brother.
"Get out of here!" He pushed the two of them out of the door again, and then closed the door with a "snap".
Chu's mother didn't care about looking after Chu Ye at this time. The moment he went crazy, she hurried over and took his arm to calm him down. Chu's father was also pulling people aside, but he didn't know where this kid came from. It's so awesome that two working farmers can't even lift a half-year-old child.
Across the door frame, the matchmaker could no longer keep the smile on his face, "Bah! I have good intentions to match your children, but this is how your family treats people? Today is really unlucky!"
The matchmaker usually collects the red envelope from the man after the job is done. She also chooses the matchmaker based on the good conditions of both men and women and how much money they can get from it in the future. No one from all over the country was polite to her when they met her, but this family named Chu was different. She looked like a dead sister when she met her. If she hadn't been good-tempered, she wouldn't have been willing to come to this house for the second time. And The younger brother suddenly went crazy and pushed the guest away, bah!
When she goes back, she must tell her colleagues that this family is not normal.
Father Chu and Mother Chu quickly apologized and wanted to pull Chu Guangyao aside and open the door, but he pressed his back against the door. The people inside couldn't open it, and the people outside, including the matchmaker, didn't want to push the door open, and Guo Ping didn't want to push the door open. Feeling shameless. He was attracted by Chu Ye's good looks, but he also wanted to have face. This family was really bullying him by treating him like this.
He glared hard at the figure standing at the door, turned around and left without saying a word. The matchmaker uttered another curse word and followed suit.
Across the courtyard, Chu Guangyao looked at Chu Ye under the eaves. In his ears, Chu's father and Chu's mother scolded him for being ignorant, but he didn't hear a word.
After a while, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but saw that Chu Ye had withdrawn his gaze, turned around and walked into the main hall.
At noon, the whole family looked bad, and Chu's mother made lunch in a fool's errand.
"I'll find out where the matchmaker lives tomorrow and take the fish to him to apologize." Chu's father did not forget to glare at Chu Guangyao while eating.
"You brat! I'm making you stupid! I don't know what's wrong with your brain. You push out the guests who come to your door. That matchmaker has a long mouth and will tell you whether it's life or death! If she goes out and talks nonsense, look at it. Who will help our family get married in the future?" Chu's father became more and more angry as he spoke. He held the cigarette rod and tried to hit him again, but Chu's mother quickly stopped him.
Chu Guangyao frowned, "If you don't get married, you won't get married. Who cares! Haven't you seen that my sister is not willing to go on a blind date at all?" His voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and in the end he only dared to glance sideways at the person next to him.
Chu Ye had no expression and lowered his head to eat, as if the person he was talking about was not her at all.
The old couple looked at each other and then moved away together. Chu's father couldn't help it anymore and gave him a headache. "Who told you to meddle in your own business with rats? Si Ya told you that she didn't want to? She obviously did. You ruined her business!”
"No." Chu Guangyao rubbed his head in pain and muttered in retort.
"What do you know? This is always the case with girls when they get older. You should meet each other while you are young. If you wait a few years, you won't be able to find a good match even if you try to find him. I think the gay man brought by the matchmaker this time is very good. We work in the same factory as you, now it’s okay, you offended both of us at once.” Chu’s father was so angry that he couldn’t eat, and kept talking.
"Besides, it's not just your sister's business. You will also need a matchmaker to find a partner in the future. After you do this, which matchmaker will dare to come to our house to meet you?"
"When you go to work in a few days, you go buy a pack of cigarettes for your colleague to ease the relationship, otherwise you will be careful when he wears small shoes for you at work." Father Chu worried about this and that, and the creases between his eyebrows were not loosened.
Chu Guangyao's left ear went in and the right ear went out, pretending not to hear.
There are no airtight walls in the village, and neighbors would soon know about such a scandal in his home. After all, Chu Guangyao went crazy and made such a loud noise in the morning that some neighbors watched.
So when Chu's father was called to the brigade for a meeting, many close neighbors gathered around him to ask about the specific situation.
This was originally a matter of sending people from each household to discuss how to dry the corn after harvesting it, but it suddenly turned into a gossip scene.
At the same time, the Chu family.
Before Chu's father left, he asked Chu's mother to lock the room. This scene shocked Chu Guangyao.
As the main hall door closed and locked with a "click", as he witnessed everything, something gradually fell apart in his heart.
Inexplicably, he suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child. As his sister, Chu Ye, although only one year older than him, had always taken good care of him, and he was also his sister's follower at that time.
In the spring, they went to the fields. He was playful, and his parents were busy hoeing the fields and didn't pay much attention. It was Chu Ye who introduced him to the flowers and plants in the fields.
In the summer, the two went to the river. He envied the older children who could bathe in deep water, but he could only play where his feet were just below his feet. He acted coquettishly at Chu Ye, but Chu Ye insisted on his principle and refused to let him go to deep water. , he was so angry that he took out his anger on the little crab, but he didn't notice that when he was playing in the water, a line of sight behind him was firmly locked on him, but he didn't play much.
In autumn, Master was busy with the harvest. When he was tired, Chu Ye found him a cool place to rest under a tree. In winter, she would make snowmen and have snowball fights with herself. If anyone's snowball hit Chu Ye, he would hit it back with a bigger one.
How could his sister, who was so kind to him, look at him with such cold eyes one day?
He was panicking.
On the other hand, when Chu's father was about to go out, he was afraid that Chu Guangyao would make trouble at home. He originally wanted to take him to the brigade for a meeting, but he refused with the excuse of a headache. Before leaving, Chu's father also specifically told Chu's mother not to wait for him. Don't open the door even when you come back.
In the side room, Chu Guangyao was lying on the bed thinking about the past, with tears streaming down his face. He thought of the question that had been bothering him in the morning: Why didn't his sister leave when she was obviously unwilling?
Now he had the answer. It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't leave.
In the same way, his sister must have come back in such a hurry because of something her parents said to her, which made her look so embarrassed.
After thinking everything through, he stood up, walked to the door of the main hall, bent his waist, covered his abdomen with one hand, and slammed the door quickly with the other.
"Mom, Mom, I don't know what's going on right now. My stomach hurts so much. Please take me to the village doctor's office to have a look."
