Green Apricot

It was dawn when I got home, and I heard that the bride was a charming and beautiful woman, so I didn't even glance at her.When I returned to our village, it was still a chaotic and lively scene, and I didn’t feel sleepy when I got home. I wanted to go for a walk in the vegetable garden and listen to the birdsong there.Look at the green water flowing there.

As soon as I took two steps, I saw a fat man in the bamboo forest in front of me. I thought to myself that this person might come to drink and find a toilet, so he went to the bamboo forest to solve it.

Seeing that he looks so majestic, I couldn't help but take a second look. He didn't take off his pants. It didn't seem like he was here to relieve his hand, but he seemed to be looking at something.

I looked in the direction he was looking, and saw three or two people discussing something deep in the woods.I walked up to the man, wanting to ask him what he had seen.

"What are you looking at?" The man suddenly turned around and covered my mouth.A familiar and fragrant smell hits the nostrils.That plump and plump hand is the one I am most familiar with.

He suddenly said "how are you?".

I looked at him, Uncle Tianming, my hand was on his chest when he wasn't paying attention, and the other hand was pressing on his stomach.He saw me and pushed me away.

Look at those few people who heard the voice and disappeared without a trace.He stood up.I also supported the bamboo and stood up.Say, "How can you be a relative of our family? In the past seventeen or eighteen years, my family has never seen you for anything?".

"How do you know I'm here to drink with you?"

"Is not it?"

"Do you believe me when I pass by?"

"I believe"

"why?"

"Because you said it!"

"What logic? Let's go and find a place to have a good talk."I thought to myself what he wanted to talk to me, and in my heart, I always felt that I had a lot to say to him.I always feel that the person in front of me always evokes my wireless language.We went to the well.He took a sip of water and said:

"Your village will be attacked by thieves in a few days."

"What?"

"Those people just now, one of them is from your village."

"right"

"Just now I saw him secretly talking to three people in the woods, and even making gestures with his hands."

"Maybe they are here to shoot turtledoves?"

"Can't I tell the difference?"

"Oh, to be clear, what does that mean?"

"Those two people are not from your village, nor are they relatives of your family. Of course it is unreasonable to come to your house for a drink. Therefore, they may be colluding with outsiders so that ghosts knock on the door at night."

"No way, the man in our village is dark and strong. He doesn't look like someone who stole it!"

"Admit it, dark and strong people are the type you like, so they are all good people, right?"I exclaimed in my heart, how could I even speak out what was in my heart.And it's so obvious.

"That's not what I mean. I mean, people grow up so strong, and they have the strength to earn money. Is it necessary to steal?"

"Don't explain it, the explanation is still unclear, only a skinny person would steal it, right, everyone would have been beaten to death a long time ago."

I suddenly felt that Uncle Tianming already knew that I was a person with this hobby, but he didn't show any dislike, which made me a little bolder.But dare not approach.

Although he was a little happy in his heart, it cannot be ruled out that Uncle Tianming is the kind of person with a big belly who can tolerate things that are hard to tolerate in the world.So before everything is confirmed, I will only watch from a distance, not daring to take half a step closer.

"Go back and ask your parents carefully to find out who this person in your Dazhai is from. Don't steal the cow. Hope is gone. I'm leaving."

"Aren't you going to ask for a drink?"

"Who knows me? You?"

"Nevermind him, the host family doesn't know everyone who comes to drink."

"That's good, you go, steal a bottle of wine for me when people are not paying attention, I'll wait for you here"

I said good, and left. When I stole the wine and went to the well, Uncle Tianming had disappeared without a trace.I cursed in my heart, this old ghost, don't let me bump into you, if I bump into you, I will smash you to death with a wine bottle.

In the evening, when the marriage at my lobby brother’s house was over and everyone left, my parents returned home. When I was in front of the fire pit, I told my parents what I saw with Tianming, but I didn’t say anything about it. Together with Uncle Tianming.

My father said that the man in Dazhai was called Chuyi, and his three brothers-in-law were all in Heizhai, and they were famous for stealing into the village.Many people in Dazhai were suspected of having been stolen, but there was no evidence.Everyone can only guess.But if it was really a thief from outside, how could they be familiar with the roads in the village?In the middle of the night, there are dogs in every household.If you don't know the location of the village and the people like the back of your hand, how can you steal it?

Unexpectedly, the next night, my uncle's dog was poisoned to death. Fortunately, no one's cattle were stolen in the whole village.Pity the dog.

When my father came back to the house, I saw that my second sister was not at home, so I mentioned the matter of my eldest sister and asked, "How is my eldest sister at that house?".My father said that the family was very good, but the old lady had contagious white skin, which was contagious to all of us, and made my eldest sister itchy all over, and it never got better.

"The one who came together last time, the one who went out with me later, how did he get involved with his family?".My father thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

My mother reminded my father from the side: "How could you not know? It is the one where his uncle runs a school."The father seemed to be enlightened, and said: "Oh, that man is very strange."

"Is he married?"

"Marriage? That's to say, it's weird. I just came to pick up your elder sister's family. I don't know how I met him. People thought he was so old and wanted to introduce him to someone. He also agreed to it. All right, but he went. He glanced at her, didn't talk to her, took two apples and put them in her bag and left. That girl is very beautiful. She's only in her early twenties, and she wants to marry her too. He doesn't know what's wrong with him."

"Ah, so I haven't seen him talk about it?"

"That kind of person must be based on his good looks and money when he was young. He picked it up and down until the end. He couldn't continue to pick it. If there is no suitable one, he will drag it until now. That person, his father is also rich. Open a school in the place where your uncle's house is. People have good looks and big bodies."

My mother interjected and said, "It's not that he is not unsuitable. Isn't it true that at this age, no one is married?".

"Someone is married, and the age difference is more than half, how much can you talk about?"

"The age difference is big, Qingxing's fourth grandfather is not very old? His wife was only 60 years old, and Qingxing's fourth grandmother was only in her 40s at that time. They still don't see their grandchildren now (local language: full of children and grandchildren) )’s?”.

"If you don't tell me when was that, what time is it now?"...

The two of them argued endlessly, but no matter what they thought, they couldn't think of that kind of thing.Maybe that kind of thing seems impossible to them.However, what they never expected was that their son would walk a tearful path in the future.
