The thoughts in my mind can't help but go back to three years ago.
I was lying on the bed in Anhui Hospital, and Wan Li handed me two batteries for my pager.
Wan Li seemed to see the pain in my expression. When he left the ward, he said: "The world is inherently evil. How generous can you be and how many people can you forgive?"
I still remember the last message on my pager, which was sent to me by the cow.
"If, if it is true, you are actually a very good choice. There are some words that I don't want to leave China with. Qin Feng, I like you!"
I turned my head and looked at Keren who was leaning on my shoulder. This was probably the scene that all the boys in the school dreamed of. I really couldn’t understand how a rural boy like me could be so virtuous and capable that I could win the favor of a cow.
We walked quietly along the road, again without speaking for a long time.
Just when he saw the school gate not far away, the cow stopped and stared at the moon in the sky. Nothing here had changed, except that so much time had passed.
"Qin Feng, let nature take its course."
The cow let go of my arm and walked towards the school. It felt really good to be back, but it was a pity that there was no if.
I followed the cow and murmured to myself, but unfortunately there was no what if.
Arriving at the teacher's apartment with ease, Cow went straight to the refrigerator and skillfully took out a bottle of mineral water. Everything was still the same as before, as if he had never left.
Chujiu was sitting on the sofa, squinting his eyes and listening to the cow talk about American customs and customs.
When it comes to Sony announcing at a press conference in the United States that it is developing a new game console, this game machine will be on the market within ten years. This innovation will change all game styles on the market, including Nintendo.
"It will give people the ultimate experience of being in the game screen."
There was a strange gleam in Chujiu's eyes. When the time comes, he must ask Teacher Ding to help him order one from the United States.
Dai Niu rolled his eyes at Chujiu angrily, asking why he couldn't order it himself. Chujiu lowered his head shyly, speaking in English that only Chinese people could understand.
I told the cow the glorious story of how Chu Jiu became the founder of Chinese English in our school.
The cow laughed so hard that she almost spilled the mineral water in her hand.
In fact, this is not uncommon in the United States. Many local bosses who travel to the United States speak Chinglish, and some even mix Chinese with English words, without caring whether others can understand them.
There was an urgent knock on the door, and Chu Jiu cursed and reluctantly went to open the door. It must be Zhang Feng and the other three who were drunk.
"Lan Yan? Why are you running here?"
Standing at the door of the apartment, Lan Yan was panting heavily and sweating. Chujiu grinned, and now he was eating something that had been gone for a long time.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, Brother Feng, uh, is there anyone else here?"
Lan Yan ignored Chujiu's teasing, and there was obvious anxiety in his expression and words.
"This is our Teacher Ding. If you have anything to say, just say it. It's okay."
The moment Lan Yan saw the cow, what he originally wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and his expression became even more anxious. I signaled that the cow was not an outsider and that if Lan Yan had anything to say, just tell her.
"Brother Feng, Sister Xiaoyu is getting married, just in a week."
Lan Yan held an envelope in his hand and waved towards me. Chujiu slapped Lan Yan on the forehead. This joke was not funny at all.
Then he saw the handwriting on the envelope in Lan Yan's hand, frowned and took the envelope into his hand.
"Spicy hot pot! Guo Guo, it seems we have to leave early."
Chujiu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and muttered that this time he insisted on killing the hairy monster in Hualou, and he dared to set his sights on Sister Xiaoyu.
"Guo Guo, Guo Guo?"
Chujiu patted my arm, and I came out of my daze. I stared at Lan Yan and confirmed with him again that he was not joking?
Lan Yan grabbed the letter paper from Chujiu's hand and handed it to me, asking me to read it myself. This was a letter written by Grandma Jian Shu.
I couldn't control my emotions, and the hand holding the letter began to tremble slightly. What happened so suddenly? We had only met before the Chinese New Year. My mind was in chaos. What happened in the village?
"this?"
The moment I saw the letter paper, I was completely confused and yelled at Chujiu. The letter paper was full of crooked lines, and it was actually written in Miao script.
"Qin Feng?"
The cow called my name softly, asking me to calm down first. Then she saw the letter in my hand, her mouth twitched slightly, and asked Chujiu to translate the content of the letter for us.
Chu Jiu took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and handed it to me. This letter was written by Grandma Jian Shu to Lan Yan. Originally, she didn't want us to get involved in this matter and wanted to handle it herself.
It's just that Grandma Jian Shu tried her best, but found that she still didn't have the capital to fight against the other party. After much thought, she secretly told us this matter behind Xiao Yu's back.
Judging from the date on the stamp, this letter was sent half a month ago.
The room suddenly fell into silence, and Lan Yan whispered to us that in fact, Grandma Jian Shu had been injured for a long time, and Xiao Yu was determined not to let him tell us about it.
"What? Grandma Jian Shu is injured? Please explain it clearly to me."
Chujiu rushed to Lan Yan's side and glared at Lan Yan, who was half a head lower than him. If he didn't explain the matter clearly today, don't blame yourself for turning against him.
Lan Yan clenched his fist, glanced at me and Chujiu, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and poured it into his mouth in one breath.
In fact, Grandma Jian Shu was injured not long after celebrating the New Year.
"What? Guoguo and I left Fengwang Village and returned to Tuhai Village just one day before the Chinese New Year."
I motioned to Lanyan to continue and ignore Chujiu.
On the night of New Year's Eve, four strange men in strange clothes came to the village. When they appeared in the village, Grandma Jian Shu and Xiao Yu were hosting a New Year's banquet.
Jian Shu looked at the four people in the distance and her expression became strange. She told everyone that this year's New Year's banquet was over early and everyone should go home to rest. Then she asked Lan Yan to help send the drunk villagers home.
The four of them followed Grandma Jian Shu back to the room. Lan Yan didn't know what exactly happened that night.
When I saw Grandma Jian Shu again the next day, Grandma Jian Shu was lying on the bed, and Xiao Yu was sitting by the bed and shedding tears.
Nanny Jian Shu seemed to have been seriously injured. Even when she nodded to Xiao Yu, she felt like she had to use all her strength to do it.
Xiaoyu took Lanyan outside the house and threatened that if Lanyan dared to tell me and Chujiu about this matter, she would break off our relationship with Lanyan.
This is what Grandma Jian Shu meant. This is also what Grandma Jian Shu wants from Lan Yan as the leader of the village. If Lan Yan disobeys, he will be removed from Fengwang Village.
