Everyone believes that maturity allows us to accept anything. In fact, maturity only makes us more able to deceive ourselves and others.
When I was young, I had a feeling called ignorance, or to put it more informally, it was called hindsight.
Just like many years later, I bought my first mobile phone on the ninth day of the lunar month. It was the same Motorola phone that would play music when a call came in.
"Later, I finally learned how to love. Unfortunately, you were already far away and disappeared into the sea of people. Later, I finally understood through tears that some people will never be seen again once they are missed."
In the middle of the night, grandpa, uncle, and Mr. Xu, followed by an old man in a white coat, came to the ward. They checked Chujiu's condition and found that he was very stable and should wake up soon.
I don’t know what consensus Grandpa and Mr. Xu have reached. Grandpa said that since Chujiu and I also have work permits from the department, they can rest assured that they can take care of themselves at home and save their old arms and legs from having to run around.
My uncle said that when we wake up on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, he will send us back to Sichuan. We don’t have to go back to Lijiacun to celebrate the New Year during the winter vacation. He and grandpa will go to the stockade later. This year, we will celebrate the New Year in the stockade.
I asked them how the matter in the woods was finally resolved?
Mr. Xu glanced at the old man in a white coat. The old man nodded, made an excuse and left, closing the door tightly when he left.
Mr. Xu said that he had told the local troops to cordon off that area and set up a test field. They would plant some tea trees next year and ensure that the tea grown on that land would become a special variety.
Mr. Xu smiled and said that in the future we might have to send soldiers to stand guard 24 hours a day, just like the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain.
In the middle of the night, Wan Li called me "brother."
I asked confusedly what was wrong? Wan Li said that he just shouted it casually and felt that these two words were quite good.
Wan Li explained to me for the first time that there are three conditions for brothers in their army to be considered brothers. "We have carried guns together, we have stood guard together, and we have carried guns together."
I asked Wan Li why two of them "carried a gun together?" Wan Li chuckled, but ultimately didn't tell me.
Wan Li said that he believes that only those who have gone through the test of life and death together can be considered brothers. It feels good to have brothers.
I looked back and saw Chujiu lying aside, yes! It feels so good to have brothers!
When I woke up on the ninth day of the lunar month, it was the morning of the next day. After seeing the situation on the ninth day of the lunar month, my grandfather, uncle and Mr. Xu were sitting in front of my hospital bed chatting with me.
Mr. Xu told us that this mission is of great significance. He will apply for a 1,000 yuan allowance for Chujiu and me. At the same time, the merits will be recorded in the department. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the country may award medals.
I asked my grandfather and uncle if they had received any medals. My uncle curled his lips, and I was even more certain that he must have learned the gesture of curling his lips in Chujiu.
Grandpa said that according to the progress of his accumulation of merit, he will be able to obtain the medal in about 30,000 years. We are just ordinary people, and the allowance should be more substantial.
Mr. Xu looked at his grandfather with a murderous expression, but he turned a blind eye.
"Say, you are an immortal, Banbandi. I want to see if I don't peel off your skin and pull out your tendons. Then go back and make a pot of soup for Guo Guo to drink."
On the hospital bed in Chujiu, a shout suddenly came from the room. But everyone in the room turned to look at my uncle first.
My uncle blushed and said in a low voice. He really wasn't the one who taught me. They don't use dialect to curse people in their village, they all use dialect.
"I told you to make it more spicy, make it more spicy, but you don't understand? Believe it or not, I will dismantle your stall? Put up that can of chili oil!"
Chujiu, whose head was covered with bandages and only his mouth was exposed, shouted again, then pouted as if he was eating something delicious.
Everyone gathered around Chujiu's bed, dumbfounded. Mr. Xu's eyes were a little red, and he looked at his grandfather and uncle with a look of disbelief on his face: "Have you two noticed?"
Grandpa and uncle suddenly became depressed. After hearing Mr. Xu's question, they nodded gently.
"Grandpa, will Chujiu become stupid?"
As soon as I finished speaking, grandpa slapped me on the head. Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard Mr. Xu say, your master spoke in such a tone.
I had imagined countless times in my mind that the tall, towering, omnipotent master suddenly looked shorter.
"If you like it, chase him! If you can't catch me, I'll knock you out and grab him back! Teacher Ding, Sister Xiaoyu, and the beautiful sister in our village, I'll snatch them all back for Guoguo! Hey, Guoguo is all the same
Wood! I can’t turn my head around!”
I had the urge to reach out and strangle Chujiu to death. While everyone was staring at me and laughing, I lay back on the bed silently.
"Wanli Cauldron, are you so old? Why don't you have a girlfriend? Will a woman affect your driving speed?"
"I'm talking about old man, old man, don't you know that I can use spiritual magic now? Do you still dare to beat me?"
Except Mr. Xu and Grandpa, several people gathered around Chujiu's bed were all attacked by Chujiu in his dream, and all of them were seriously injured.
Mr. Xu coughed, and his grandfather and uncle followed him out of the ward. I vaguely heard Mr. Xu asking my grandfather and the others if this was a sequelae of spiritual magic.
"Cough cough cough!" Chujiu let out a series of coughs, followed by a long gasp.
"Hey, I was so suffocated that I finally woke up. This dream has been really long!"
"Huh? Guo Guo, where is this?"
Chujiu suddenly sat up from the bed. With quick eyes and quick hands, Wan Li immediately held down his hand to prevent the needle from the hanging bottle from coming out.
I couldn't hold back and slapped Chujiu on the head. Chujiu let out a "hiss" and screamed.
"Lie down, this is a hospital!"
"Hospital? Why are we in the hospital? Where are my old man's old man and Grandpa Qin? I haven't seen Grandpa Qin yet."
Chujiu lay down again and asked a series of questions. Wan Li patiently told Chujiu what happened next.
After listening to Wan Li's story, Chujiu was quiet for a long time and didn't speak for a long time.
"So I slept for a week? No wonder I feel so tired after dreaming for so long."
Mr. Xu, his grandfather and uncle happened to come in from outside the door.
Mr. Xu said with a smile: "Little Chujiu is awake? Aren't you going to snatch back all the beautiful sisters in the village and give them to Guo Guo?"
Grandpa also smiled cheerfully and said: "Little baby, grandpa likes you very much. I have an appetite for you. How are you doing with your spiritual skills?"
With a dark face, my uncle walked to Chujiu's hospital bed, snorted, and said that Chujiu was doing great now.
Chujiu heard a bunch of incomprehensible words and rolled his eyes a few times, as if he was thinking of the dream he had had before and realized something.
I saw Chujiu's right hand stroking nervously around the bed.
Suddenly, Chujiu's middle finger and thumb overlapped and made an ejection movement.
A grain of rice flew out after grazing my uncle's face.
