Love and Gentle Township: Billionaire Sister

Chapter 11 Red Basin Escape (3)
The sun in May of the lunar calendar is poisonous, and the sun is so oily on the back and the cheeks are on fire.But as soon as you enter the shady mulberry ditch, the fiery sunshine turns into an intoxicating south wind, which makes you feel refreshed and want to do something.Food is the most important thing for the people, so of course we should pick mulberries first to quench our thirst and hunger.Hong Guduo was like a smart monkey, when Qiao Junling was still looking around to sort out the wood for her, he saw that she had already climbed to the branch of a mulberry tree to pick mulberries.

"Be careful, don't fall." Qiao Junling raised his face to see the figure of the red-boned monkey burrowing into the green leaves and branches like a cloud, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he warned loudly.

"It's okay, the mulberries on Yangpo's side are all ripe, and life is sweet." While speaking, Hong Guduo had already picked a handful of mulberries in her hands. Purple big sweet berries.

"Brother, it's done." Hong Guduo climbed up the tree branch with one hand, and threw down the handful of mulberries towards Qiao Junling's open hands with the other.Qiao Junling followed each other: he followed a lump of honey, followed by a piece of love, and then a ball of fire.

Before the sweet berries touched her lips, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva that rushed into her throat.Qiao Junling picked two purple-headed and red-tailed mulberries and put them into his mouth. When the mulberry juice warmed by the sun and the red bones touched his tongue, the sweetness rushed to the nerve endings like an electric shock.This was almost the first delicious bite in his life.After so many years, whether in the barracks or in the officialdom, no matter how many delicacies I tasted, they could not compare with this taste.

Hong Guduo wore a moon-white T-shirt with a round neck. There were no pockets on the upper body, and the trouser pockets on the lower body were too shallow. Picking a few handfuls would fill it up. As soon as he bent his knees, he climbed a tree and fell down. There was no other way but to pocket the T-shirt. Get up and hold it with your mouth, and the undershirt becomes a small breast pocket for temporary mulberries.

Girls in the mountains at that time did not know that there were props such as bras.Hong Guduo packed up her undershirt to pack mulberries, and released a pair of thrilling little pigeons flying under the blue sky, white clouds and green mulberry leaves.

Qiao Junling raised his face occasionally, seeing this freehand brushwork like a fairy flying into the sky, he was immediately at a loss, blood gushing up.I didn't care to eat the sweet and refreshing mulberry, picked up the sickle and rein, and hurriedly turned around to find a suitable basket of wood.

By the time Hong Guduo had picked a breast pocket full of mulberries, and came down from the tree with his mouth in his mouth and his hands on the ground, Qiao Junling had already chopped down a two-meter-long straight stick.He quickly plucked the twigs and mulberry leaves, searched for a pile of dead branches and weeds by the horn bug weir and lit them, and smoked the plucked straight sticks repeatedly with fireworks.After a while, the fish-white mulberry stick was roasted until it was waxy yellow. Although it was almost as thick as an egg, it was like a big noodle in Qiao Junling's hands.When Qiao Junling bent the softened mulberry stick into a neat "n" shape, the bark of the mulberry stick had burst off, exposing the smooth inner rod.A beautiful basket was made in Qiao Junling's scratching and fiddling.He used the rein to put the formed basket bindings aside, and then he took a breath and said, "That's it. After the fire that baked into the wood cools completely, the baskets will no longer be deformed. Go back and tie them up." Baskets and baskets can be used."

The task assigned by Hong Guduo was completed, and both of them were overjoyed.Hong Guduo held the picked mulberry in front of her chest with one hand, and gathered the mulberry leaves and broken grass on the ground with the other.The two sat on the ground.Hong Guduo carefully picked out the sweetest and most refreshing mulberries with purple heads and red tails. She wanted to use the delicacy bred by nature's thick soil in the mulberry ditch to comfort her beloved brother.

This mulberry picnic was sweet and beautiful for the two of them.Hong Guduo ate so much that the saliva that flowed out turned into purple juice, and the almond eyes on the pretty oval-shaped face were rippling with spring.Qiao Junling's cheeks glowed after eating, and his white teeth, lips and tongue were stained purple by the mulberry juice.

Swallowing a mouthful of mulberry juice, Hong Guduo suddenly looked at Jun Ling's face and said, "Brother, is there anything sweeter than mulberry juice?"

"Also...what's sweeter?" Qiao Junling didn't understand it for a moment, he stared at Hong Guduo in a daze, and suddenly a strange light burst out in his eyes.The bright light was like a flash of lightning piercing through the clouds, and induced a heat current on Hong Guduo's body, and it felt numb and crisp like an electric shock in an instant, like countless ants scurrying about on his body.She sucked a sip of the remaining mulberry juice and swallowed it, and immediately felt that the mulberry juice seemed to gush out from her lower body again.

Hong Guduo didn't bother to eat the remaining berries, and suddenly turned around and hugged Jun Ling's neck, with the sweetness of mulberry juice, he sucked his lips fiercely.

It was as if sparks were splashed on dry wood, and the heat energy accumulated in Qiao Junling's body was completely ignited.He hugged the red bone tightly and tossed up and down, in the green grass, the mulberry leaves made a bed, the blue sky, white clouds, and sunlight all passed through the natural gauze made of mulberry trees, expressing his best wishes to the pair of elves on the mountain. The most original and sincere wishes.

"Oops!..." With Qiao Junling rushing forward recklessly, Hong Guduo suddenly let out a cry of earth-shattering, and then collapsed like a puddle of mud.

With this sound, a pair of sparrows and sparrows that were nesting in grass on the tree flew away.It also scared Qiao Junling into a cold sweat.

Under the mulberry tree, on the grass, and on the green mulberry leaves, there are flowers of essence and blood ten times brighter than mulberry juice.

25.Head Joe
After experiencing the blood-stained demeanor of Sangshugou stealing forbidden fruits, the red bone blossoms matured a lot soon.The changes in physical development are vaguely visible, the bones are redder, the downy eyebrows begin to stretch, the two autumn waters in the eyes are more radiant, and the hair is more black and smooth as if it has been dyed with oil paint.Although she has never known what cosmetics are, she washes her face in cold water and wraps her body in cloth all year round, but her natural beauty and vigor do not require makeup.The overflowing youthful breath and vitality cannot be produced by makeup.As long as Hongguduo has nothing to do and walks through the three natural villages of Hongtuao, Wangjingtai and Sanxianao, no matter the old and the young, the second sister-in-law, the third aunt and the eighth aunt, there will be admiration in front of and behind the crowd: "Gaijia Sheepherd White smoke is rising from the tomb, and there is a six-ni red bone flower, whose beauty covers three counties."

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and it also grows day by day.Hongguduo has become unanimously amazing in the eyes of the folks, and it has also undergone years of wind and rain.Although Hong Guduo has also felt the changes in herself day by day, she is not alienated from Shan Zhu and Jun Shan psychologically, and still feels that she is a good brother who loves brothers and sisters, but there is an invisible layer between her elder brother Qiao Junling And palpable affection.

Qiao Junling has been burdened with a heavy sense of guilt for several days due to this relationship.Fortunately, this winter he signed up for enlistment, and the head of the army took him as the number one preferred sample soldier to the Luoyang Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade to serve as a soldier.

Putting on his military uniform, Qiao Junling bought a pair of Double Happiness cigarettes the morning before his departure, and went to the warm circle on the hillside to visit old man Gai Sihai, a shepherd.Of course, Qiao Junling intended to please his future father-in-law, but he absolutely did not dare to mention his relationship with Hong Guduo.Although he has the strong back of a boy in the mountains that can carry three hundred catties of sacks, he is still unwilling to be beaten by the old man's whip for this.

Old man Gai still had a good impression of Qiao Junling, and he smiled even more happily when he smoked Double Happiness. "Go, train people in the team, young and educated, as long as you work hard, sooner or later our Sanxianao will produce a three-dou three-sheng sesame official."

At that time, Qiao Junling hadn't thought about becoming an official. As long as Old Man Gai was happy and made a good impression on him, the relationship between him and Hong Guduo would be successful.Naturally, you have to be respectful in front of the old man: "Uncle, I've made a note. If you have anything to do, just ask Hongmei to write to me."

"Okay, okay." Old man Gai didn't realize what was involved in writing the letter at that time, he just thought that the Double Happiness cigarette tasted very good, better than his earthen cigarettes mixed with cotton leaves, eggplant seeds, and pumpkin leaves. Dry tobacco is a hundred times more comfortable.

Farewell to the old man Gai turned back to the village, and the farewell to Hong Guduo that night was not so neat.Naturally, he and she had to exchange tokens. What Qiao Junling gave her was a Venus fountain pen made in Shanghai. Venus fountain pens were already expensive gifts in those days.The meaning is very clear: let her think about writing to him often.What she gave him was a very delicate plastic bronzing notebook.The request is simple: write down everything you think about her in the notebook.Hong Guduo said coquettishly: "When I return from demobilization and change jobs, I still need to read the homework and judge the grades. It's up to you whether you pass or excel. Brother..."

Qiao Junling is actually a very honest and serious person.He still completed the assignment without any hesitation.For this reason, a joke was once made, which became a good story in the barracks of the anti-aircraft artillery brigade.

A few years later, until I became a battalion commander, I always carried this bronzing red leather notebook with me.Once playing basketball on the playground, Qiao Junling casually put the jacket he took off on the shoulders of the battalion commander who was watching the game from the sidelines.The spectators crowded around and squeezed out the notebook and dropped it on the ground.The instructor didn’t know what kind of book it was, so he picked it up and looked, wow, it’s amazing, it turned out to be a very interesting doggerel: "People are away, but their hearts are at home. I leave a flower in the audience. If you want to go back and see her, the army is disciplined." Yan, how can I ask for leave?"

Qiao Junling is playing center in the team, dribbling the ball and trying to break through for a layup.Several officers of the battalion department saw his doggerel, which was more interesting than watching him play basketball. The instructor recognized the dragon-like handwriting of Battalion Commander Qiao, and said in his heart: All right, buddy, there are really two brushes.Smiling, he stuffed the notebook into his pocket immediately.Unexpectedly, while the instructor was watching, several officers and correspondents of the battalion department also saw it.Such secret and interesting stories are not passed on.Once the word spread, it spread like wildfire, and almost the whole battalion knew the famous sentence of Commander Qiao "There is a flower in the house".What they misunderstood was that they all understood the platform as the platform of Guotai, but they didn't know that it was the platform of Wangjing Terrace, let alone that "Yizhihua" Gai Hongmei lived in the "understage" Hongtuao.

It should be said that this farewell date between lovers is not as romantic and selfless as imagined, and there is no vow of eternal love. Even though it is winter, in the old cave dwelling of Hongtuaohongguduo's house, it is still warm and harmonious.Hong Guduo had already warmed up the kang head with a bunch of hard firewood left over from the thorn baskets made by her father, and pulled out a large pile of red charcoal ash. While warming the room, she put the washed sweet potato pieces in it.

She can only entertain her sweetheart who is about to embark on the journey with sweet potatoes roasted on the kang fire.Hong Guduo found two small three-legged stools sawn from tree roots and sat on the ground, and the two of them cuddled by the edge of the kang fire.There are no lamps in the cave.The ashes from the burning of the mountain brambles were strong and strong, and the bright red light reflected the red light on the roof of the cave dwelling.It was so hot that both hands, feet and cheeks were hot.Of course, my heart is burning hot, but I dare not do deviant things again, and I have to be responsible.Besides, Qiao Junling had already put on the enviable green uniform, and he had to discipline himself according to the discipline of PLA soldiers.

"How do you tell the old people about our affairs?" Hong Guduo asked Jun Ling while poking the fire ashes with a fire fork.

Junling said calmly: "Wait a few years, you're still young. When I'm good enough in the army, I'll be able to open my mouth again."

"We can talk about it at any time here. Although my father is stubborn, as long as he understands and calms down, there will be no major problems. I'm afraid of your mother's feudal elm bump."

Hong Guduo is very self-confident, and it really made her misfortune true.A few years later, when Qiao Junling became the regiment commander in the army and returned to his hometown in fine clothes, when he brought a letter of proof from the army to marry Hong Guduo, his mother refused to agree, and even threatened her with death.The old mother insisted that her fate was wrong, saying that when the red bone was born in Mao, the tiger was born, and the white tiger was destined to be Kefu.And although Qiao Junling is already the head of Qiao, he is a very classic and filial son. He dared not disobey his mother's order, so he had to say goodbye to Hong Guduo with tears.Soon after returning to the barracks, he was introduced by the political commissar of the regiment and married a head nurse of the military hospital.

But Hong Guduo didn't accept her fate. Since the marriage she wanted couldn't come true, she liked carrots so she stopped eating pears.In order to repay her aunt's kindness in nurturing and helping her, she hastily married Shanzhu.

After marriage, the young couple both went out to work to support the family.Unfortunately, Shanzhu died in an accidental car accident.Blessings are unparalleled, misfortunes never come singly, the son suffered an unexpected accident, and Aunt Xi was so angry that she had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and let go.Hong Guduo was not very superstitious at first, but after experiencing two incidents in succession, she also wondered if she was really a bit like a "white tiger nemesis".In order to get rid of hidden worries, it took a lot of trouble to erase the age on the household registration book and ID card by one year.No matter what the occasion, as long as the age and zodiac sign are mentioned, in order to avoid the taboo of "nemesis" and "tigress", only say that the zodiac is a rabbit, and never dare to mention the tiger.

26.Gaisan County
The name change from Hongguduo to Gaihongmei is due to going to school, which can be said to be an improvement from a baby name to a scientific name.The reason why Gaisan County's tuba is famous in Xiahe is the annual Spring Festival cultural performance.

At that time, the Taihang Mountains were still frozen on the ground, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up had just begun to blow across the South China Sea of ​​the motherland.At that time Xiahe had not yet established a city.Because it is the seat of the regional administrative office, the annual Spring Festival cultural performances are generally held in theaters in the county.

The so-called movie theater is to build a stage and build a hall that can accommodate more than 1000 people to hold meetings, watch plays or play movies.There are no tables, chairs or rows of chairs, just rows of high and low benches nailed with wooden plinths.Although the facilities were rudimentary, there were not only fewer TV sets, but also fewer TV programs at that time, so once there was a cultural performance, the theater would be crowded with people watching the program.Especially during the New Year and Spring Festival, this is the heyday of the first lunar month for urban and rural residents in Xiahe.

The county issued a special document for the Spring Festival cultural performance that year, requiring all communes and teams to produce programs in any form.At that time, the communes, brigades, and production teams were still organized below the county level. It took several years to establish townships and towns to restore the rural organizational system.

Hong Guduo has had a good voice since he was a child. Although he has not received professional training, in those years, the big speakers in the village not only yelled at meetings, but also played model plays every day.Even if I follow my father up the mountain to herd sheep, I can faintly hear the singing of the model opera on the tweeter in the distance.Over time, it has been subtle, not only being able to sing a few classic arias of model operas fluently, but also being able to imitate every move and style of the actors on the stage.

When Luocun was in middle school, she was the soprano singer of the school's cultural propaganda team.After dropping out of school, the amateur troupe in the village rehearses model plays, and she is a well-deserved mountain village star who plays Li Tiemei and Xiao Changbao.It's a pity that the eldest brother Qiao Junling went to the army, otherwise he played Shao Jianbo but he looked very similar without makeup.However, they no longer need to act on the stage, and now in the barracks of the Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade, it is already the work of the well-known Captain Qiao.Thinking of it, she couldn't help but feel a little sore and painful in her heart, and at the same time, a strong cry surged in the depths of her heart: "I just want to pretend to be a person for them to see."

"For the next program, Gai Hongmei, a member of the Sanxian Nao Brigade of Luocun Commune, will sing an excerpt from the revolutionary model opera "Listening to Grandma Talking about Revolution, Heroic and Tragic". Welcome!"

Amid the crisp voice of the announcer and the ensuing burst of applause, Gai Hongmei whirled all the way to the microphone at the front desk, stroked her long braid with both hands on her chest, and bowed appropriately to the audience.

There was another shower of applause.Before speaking, the audience felt that it was brighter than suddenly adding a one-kilowatt spotlight.There are already many people whispering: "Hey, my God! Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. It really covers three counties!"

"It's a well-deserved reputation, a handsome bird comes out of the deep mountain!"

Yes, when the audience saw this handsome bird from the mountains with a slender waist, long neck, spiritual arms and beautiful legs, which was more lively and free than Li Tiemei in the model play, the audience's sincere admiration should be said to come from the heart.

Generally speaking, what makes men crazy is at least beautiful, and what makes both men and women stunning is beautiful.Gai Hongmei is such a girl with light makeup, natural appearance, and a shepherd's family in the deep mountain village. As soon as she appeared, the audience from all walks of life in the county where the administrative office was stationed was buzzing.

She sang Li Tiemei, and she is also Li Tiemei in life.Looking at the outfit, it's just a red shirt with patches on the shoulders, and a pair of washed light blue chaps, shaking his spirits.The most eye-catching one should be said to be the long rope-like braid, which was created by her own blood. It is darker and brighter than the one made by makeup, and it dances ten times more freely.

To be more precise, it is emotion that can particularly touch the heart of the audience. This emotion does not come from the performance, but flows out.In addition to her own experience of "escape from the red pot", Gai Hongmei's grandma died tragically under the bayonet of the Japanese devils during the "mopping up". Sacrificial, so far the bones have not been seen...

With this natural shape, pleasing appearance, heart-wrenching voice and lung-piercing emotion all in one, Gai Hongmei's aria from "Red Lantern" is not an iron plum but better than an iron plum, which shocked the audience at once.

There was no sound in the audience for a full 30 seconds. When Gai Hongmei bowed again to call off the curtain, the audience burst into applause, wave after wave of applause.I don't know who added fuel to the flames, and shouted with all their strength: "Is Gaisan County singing well?"

"it is good!"

"Do you want another one?"

"Yes! Another one!"

The curtain call was repeated frequently, but the applause was still endless.I had to ask the announcer to announce another song, the soprano solo "I'm so close to you"...

Gai Hongmei won the special prize in this year's Spring Festival art show. The tuba of "Gaisan County" has since been named Xiahe.Given the right opportunity, she might become a star in the show business, but the gods of fate let her go sailing in business.
