Chapter 518: Already tall and tall
“Xiaojiang, are you used to sleeping last night?”
Life in rural areas is much more regular than in cities.
Even if it’s not about hearing the chickens and dancing, most families have already gotten up as soon as the sky breaks.
Although the Lan family no longer needs to work hard, the habits they have cultivated for most of their lives have not changed. However, they still thoughtfully considered that Jiang Chen was from the city and waited until eight o'clock before letting that boy Wu Sheng go. Wake him up.
“It’s the same as at home.”
At the dinner table, Jiang Chen smiled respectfully, and then asked: “Auntie, don’t you want to eat?”
“We have already eaten. Passed.”
Besides Jiang Chen, only Lan Mu and Wu Sheng were the only ones.
The boy looked at Jiang Chen with an unkind expression. When he called the door just now, Jiang Chen said, "I'll knock your lungs out!"
Jiang Chen, who had just woken up, was a little confused at the time, but he quickly realized that it was probably the impact of his leaking the secret to Lan Peizhi last night.
He has no psychological burden.
Protecting the healthy growth of young people is the common responsibility of the whole society.
“Where are uncle and Miss Lan?”
“They are out.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered, he drank lipstick rice porridge and said: “Aunt, Sorry for bothering you, thank you for the hospitality. I will go back later."
When Lan Mu heard this, her expression changed and she immediately asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's a rare occasion, why don't you play for a few more days?"
Jiang Chen hesitated to speak.
“What’s the emergency?”
“Not really.”
"Since there's nothing wrong, Xiao Jiang, just listen to your aunt and play for a few days before leaving."
Lan's mother's eyes were sincere, making it hard to refuse.
It seemed that the hospitality was hard to resist. After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen nodded reluctantly, "...Okay then."
Wu Sheng, who was watching, tugged at the corner of his mouth and hugged He crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
After breakfast, Lan’s mother asked her son to take Jiang Chen out for a walk,
“Brother, you look like a human being, why are you so evil? You’re not afraid of giving birth to a son without an asshole. ?”
Jiang Chen smiled instead of being angry. After staying in a hypocritical city where everyone wears a mask, it is indeed strange to meet such a straightforward child.
The Tibetan Mastiff followed beside him, looking very powerful.
As a result, all the villagers I met took a detour.
“Did you get beaten?”
"Tch, do you think my sister will beat me?"
Wu Sheng straightened his neck.
Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.
"You were just pretending in front of my mother because you just wanted to stay. What's this called...play hard to get, right?"
"Yo."
Jiang Chen He smiled and said, "You know quite a lot."
"Oh, let me tell you, you can fool my mother, but you can't fool me. Those sets of yours are all leftover from my play. Let me tell you, you He’s still very young.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, but he could also understand this kid’s mentality.
Children of this age are very eager to be recognized by others.
“Then it seems that I am just doing my best.”
Hearing this, Wu Sheng turned his head and glanced at him a little strangely.
This guy.
It seems a little different.
No quibbles.
I didn’t act like an adult and chatted with him about boring things.
"You and my sister are in a relationship?"
Inexplicably, the anger about the other party's tipping off has dissipated a lot.
“No.”
Jiang Chen shook his head quickly. He really didn’t dare to admit it carelessly on this issue.
“Are you pursuing my sister?”
Wu Sheng continued to ask.
Jiang Chen was silent.
Wu Sheng sneered, walking such a ferocious beast like the Tibetan Mastiff without a leash. Of course, with his physique, even a leash would be unnecessary. If the Tibetan Mastiff goes crazy, he will not be able to hold it.
"Can you, old men, have some courage? There is nothing you dare not admit."
He said with disdain.
"I feel that I am not worthy of Miss Lan."
Wu Sheng looked at him with an increasingly strange look, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's not bad, I'm quite self-aware."
The two of them walked along the field ridge and unknowingly walked to a farmhouse. It was also a common double-story house. It was naturally far different from the Lan family.
The door is open.
“Ho ho ho…”
The Tibetan Mastiff, who was quite calm along the way, suddenly roared.
After a while.
A man walked out of the building, wearing an undershirt and wide-leg pants. He was different from ordinary farmers and looked more elegant.
“Brother Yongwen!”
Wu Sheng, the boy, greeted him with unprecedented enthusiasm.
"Martial Saint, I asked you to stop bringing the dog balls out, what if it really hurts people."
The man approached. Although his temperament was not like that of an ordinary farmer, his skin was It is relatively swarthy, and it should often work in the fields and be exposed to wind and sun. The bones of the body are not strong, but the muscles are quite strong.
“No, Goudan is more obedient than a native dog, right Goudan.”
As he said that, the kid kicked the Tibetan Mastiff again.
Such a soul-stirring beast actually looked like a pet in front of this boy, sobbing in unison.
The man smiled and shook his head.
He doesn’t seem to be afraid of this Tibetan Mastiff, which can definitely kill people easily.
"This is..."
"My sister's friend."
Wu Sheng introduced him nonchalantly.
The other party's face changed slightly.
"Your sister is back?"
"Yes, she came back last night."
Wu Sheng nodded.
“Hello.”
Jiang Chen said hello at the right time.
The man also nodded and smiled, "Hello."
"Brother Yongwen, let's go now. Come to my house to play later."
The man just smiled, I touched his head, but there was no response.
The most important thing is that Wu Sheng did not show any resistance or resistance at all. He greeted the other party and continued to move forward.
Jiang Chen nodded towards the other party and left.
The man named Yongwen stood in the open space in front of the door and watched the two men go away.
“Brother Yongwen is a famous person in the village, a filial son. He can obviously go out, but for his mother, he even gave up the opportunity to go to college. Whenever there is something in the village that needs help, he will be contacted. Help."
Without Jiang Chen opening his mouth, Wu Sheng said to himself that the man just now had an extraordinary status in his heart.
“And the relationship between him and my sister is very good.”
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Chen.
“Really?”
Jiang Chen remained calm.
"Hey, don't you know, my sister often played with him when she was a child, and the two of them once sang in an opera together."
Wu Sheng has a profound meaning, and he can be said to be a little kid but a big ghost.
“Singing opera?”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
“Yes, that troupe is still there, and occasionally performs in the village.”
It seems that the cultural life in rural areas is quite rich.
“How did you know?”
"That's what my mother said. She said that my sister was very good at acting when she was young, and she will definitely become a famous actor in the future."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Same.
No matter how powerful a character is, they are not born, they all need to grow step by step.
When Lan Peizhi was a child, she was probably not much different from ordinary girls.
“Your sister is indeed a famous actress now.”
Jiang Chen smiled and fantasized subconsciously, but his imagination was really limited. yes.
Who can describe the scene of Blood Guanyin singing on stage?
“Tch, my sister is not an opera singer now.”
While chatting, the two came to a ditch.
“Sister.”
Wu Sheng stopped and shouted.
Jiang Chen took a closer look and discovered that a figure was moving through the water, smooth and flexible, like a mermaid appearing in the world.
“Roar!”
Goudan also roared.
Lan Peizhi poked his head out of the water, his hair flying, water splashes scattered, and his jade bones and ice muscles looming under the turbulent water.
Jiang Chen was shocked and felt that it would be difficult for him to forget this scene in his life.
Clear water flowed down her cheeks, and her wet hair stuck to her snow-like skin.
Even if he couldn't see the underwater scene clearly, the scene in front of him was enough to make Jiang Chen's heart beat fast.
Blood in the Water Guanyin wiped the water on her face, with a bare face, as pure as she wanted.
Jiang Chen was standing by the ditch, at a loss.
"Pfft."
Just when Jiang Chen was hesitating whether he should look at anything inappropriate, Wu Sheng, the kid, had already taken off his clothes, only wearing a big pants, and plunged into the ditch in a fairly standard diving posture.
Children in rural areas are like this. They have been dealing with water since they were young. Wu Sheng is also the same. He has excellent water properties and can swim to Lan Peizhi flexibly.
"Sister, come and swim."
"You can play by yourself."
"Come on, sister, I'm afraid you may not be able to swim against me now."< br>
They are children after all.
He was just talking about competing with great interest.
Lan Peizhi ignored it and brushed the hair from his cheek.
"Um...Brother Chen, come down and let's compare."
Seeing this, Wu Sheng changed his target and turned to look at Jiang Chen on the ditch.
Jiang Chen quickly shook his head.
“You can’t even swim, right?”
Of course Jiang Chen can’t swim, but he knows that it’s okay for Wu Sheng to jump in, but if he dares to jump in , the consequences are quite serious.
“I’m going to take a look around.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and left, quite sensible.
“Coward!”
Wu Sheng muttered.
Lampei swam to the shore without saying a word.
“Sister, you don’t want to swim anymore?”
When Jiang Chen came back, the siblings had already put on their clothes, and the timing was perfect.
Lampei Zhi was holding a bag in his hand, and he could vaguely see that it contained a violet one-piece swimsuit, and his hair was still wet.
Jiang Chen’s heart jumped again, and the scene just now couldn’t help but come to mind.
Swimming is indeed a sport that is beneficial to the body and mind.
“You haven’t left yet?”
It’s more of a question than a question.
"I plan to leave, but my aunt insists on letting me stay a few more days."
Jiang Chen quickly explained.
The boy Wu Sheng next to him curled his lips, but he didn't make trouble.
Perhaps considering that Wu Sheng was nearby, Lan Peizhi said no more, picked up the bag containing the swimsuit and walked towards the Lan family.
A few people turned back.
Jiang Chen didn't dare to ask for help, so he could only find something to say, "I didn't expect Miss Lan's water quality to be so good."
"My sister has been playing in this canal since she was a child, what do you think? . ”
This kid Wu Sheng will never allow himself to be ignored no matter where he is.
Although this boy's tone was not very polite, Jiang Chen was not upset or annoyed.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Lampe’s unknown past seems to be unfolding to him one by one.
“Sister, come this way, it’s rare for you to come back and say hello to Brother Yongwen?”
There are many trails in the countryside. Just when Lan Peizhi was about to turn, Wu Sheng stopped her.
Jiang Chen looked at that beautiful and refined face.
Have to admit it.
Time has given this woman too much preference.
If you just look at this pure face without makeup, it is difficult to tell her age on the one hand, and it is impossible to imagine that she would be a bloody and decisive figure.
Lan Peizhi didn't show any emotion, didn't stick to his own path, followed Wu Sheng, and passed by Brother Yongwen's door.
"Hey, he was still there when I came here just now. Why did he go out?"
The door has been closed.
Wu Sheng walked to the house in surprise and knocked hard on the door.
"Brother Yongwen! Brother Yongwen! Brother Yongwen..."
He shouted loudly, but there was no response.
“I’m really not here.”
Wu Sheng put down his hand regretfully, turned around and walked back.
"Sister, Brother Yongwen is not at home."
"Let's go."
Lan Peizhi said softly.
Jiang Chen deliberately observed her expression.
Very peaceful.
If nothing unexpected happens, according to what Wu Sheng said, the man he met just now and the Blood Guanyin should probably be regarded as "childhood sweethearts" like him and Fang Qing.
It just seems a little different.
At least he and Fang Qing have a pretty good relationship now, and Lan Peizhi and that man...
One person is now a giant in the East China Sea, but the other person still stays in this small village, cold. Summer comes and goes, autumn harvests and winter hides.
The gap between the two is difficult to describe.
But it seems that many people are like this.
No matter how familiar or good friends we were, they will always be pushed by fate, drifting away and becoming silent.
“Sister, look.”
Just when Lan Peizhi was about to leave, Wu Sheng called out again.
Following the direction of his finger, Jiang Chen noticed the two loquat trees he had just seen when he passed by.
"Sister, Mom said these two loquat trees were planted by you and Brother Yongwen when you were a child. Is it true?"
Jiang Chen was very sensible and did not speak, remaining silent. He made a sound, looked at the two loquat trees, and then looked at the Blood Guanyin next to him.
This woman, who rarely showed emotional fluctuations, was looking at two ordinary trees, but she rarely showed a trace of loss and trance that was easily detectable.
She was silent for a while and nodded, "Yes."
It was already past the ripening season of loquats, and there were no fruits on the tree.
“Sister, I also want to plant a few trees in front of my house, but I don’t know how long it will take to grow as big as these two trees.”
No matter how unruly you are, After all, he is still an inexperienced child.
Lan Peizhi withdrew his gaze, raised his hand for the first time, and touched his brother's head.
“When you grow up, the tree will grow up with you.”
Jiang Chen was silent, and for a moment, he even forgot about the other party’s impressive identity.
Isn’t this an ordinary woman with a past, emotions, and family?
“Let’s go.”
Lan Peizhi took back his hand, turned and left.
“Go away, Goudan.”
Wu Sheng called to the Tibetan mastiff lying at the door of the house.
Jiang Chen glanced at the two loquat trees one last time, and then followed.
A few people left.
The morning sun shines in front of the empty building, and the two loquat trees growing vigorously seem to form a natural oil painting.
Time seems to travel back many years ago.
A girl dressed like a rural child squatted down and carefully planted two saplings one after another. Regardless of getting her hands dirty, she covered them with soil bit by bit.
At that time, they were just two small saplings that were very fragile.
In the blink of an eye.
The pavilions are as tall as a canopy.
