From time to time, he would run over and say, "Uncle Tian, can you tell me your story? I really want to hear it."
He would also say: "Uncle Tian, the weather is hot. Remember to change the dressing on your wound. If you need to change the dressing, you can come to me."
When we were about to have lunch, Tian Sanjiu checked his cell phone and asked me to go to the entrance of the village with him.
The little green dragon is here.
I haven't seen her for a few days, but when I saw her again, Aunt Qing's face looked very haggard. She must have had a bad sleep, and she had faint dark circles under her eyes.
She was holding her bag and standing under the old sycamore tree at the entrance of the village.
I'm not of their generation, and I don't know how many years I haven't seen them.
Eyes facing each other.
I saw her looking at Tian Sanjiu from a few meters away, biting her lips.
She opened her mouth and said: "Brother Jiu, we haven't seen each other for almost thirteen years. You have never called me, not even a greeting."
Tian Sanjiu shook his head and said: "Little snake, you are too stubborn. I have told you before that there is no point in waiting for me."
"What does it mean to be meaningless!"
"I do not believe!"
She put down her bag and without any warning, suddenly took off her top!
I quickly closed my eyes and didn't dare to look. At the same time, I felt that Brother Tian shouldn't have brought me here. This made me so embarrassed that I couldn't stay or leave.
My right eye opened a crack.
I saw Aunt Qing's eyes red, pointing with her right hand to the position of her shoulder and clavicle above her sling, and said: "Here, the first mark was left by you, do you remember?"
I saw it, so what kind of marks were they? It looked like a row of cigarette butt burn scars, maybe a dozen or so.
Tian Sanjiu walked over, picked up the clothes on the ground, threw them to her, and said with a cold face: "Put them on, don't mention these, I didn't ask you to come here to talk about this."
Clutching her clothes, Aunt Qing's emotions that had been stored up for many years seemed to burst out in an instant.
"How on earth am I worse than someone named Luo!"
"Shadow! Appearance! Abilities! Connections!"
"Tell me! In what way am I worse than her! In what way am I not as good as her! You don't even look at me!"
"I'm forty years old this year!"
"Brother Jiu!"
"I am forty this year! I have been waiting for you for almost twenty years! How many twenty years can a woman have?"
"Say it!"
This series of confessions is almost like a roar.
Tian Sanjiu took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "Little snake, I said this many years ago, and now I say it again in front of you. Listen."
"I love Xiao Luo, I have always loved him, and I will always love him in the future. There is no room in my heart for a long time."
Aunt Qing grabbed Tian Sanjiu's wrist and said loudly with red eyes: "Then why haven't you gotten married yet!"
"I know! I know she can't give you a child! Me! I can! I don't want anything!"
Tian Sanjiu removed her hand and said, "Little snake, if you still don't give up, I will marry Xiao Luo next week, and I will send you an invitation then."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qing suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled, and she could not speak.
A few seconds later.
She sat helplessly under the plane tree, her eyes dull.
Tian Sanjiu sat down side by side with her and said calmly: "In the next life, I hope we can get to know each other sooner in the next life."
Hearing this, Aunt Qing closed her eyes.
At noon, the leaves rustled in the north wind, and the two of them sat under the tree, seemingly in a strange state.
Although neither of them spoke, they seemed to be telling each other something, but I couldn't hear them.
Inexplicably, I suddenly wanted to hear the stories of their youth.
"Uncle Tian!"
"Uncle Tian! Why can't I find you suddenly? It turns out you are cooling off here."
"There was a watermelon seller just now. Grandma bought some watermelon and I brought it to you. It's so sweet."
Kimchi Girl is still wearing her tight yoga pants.
With a pure smile on her face, she held it in both hands and handed Tian Sanjiu a piece of cut watermelon.
