The second novella "By the Kapok Creek"

In March 1974, the staff rotation of the Nanfan Base began in the Institute, and there was a place for me.A group of seven of us left Sanxiang and Sishui in the cold spring and boarded the southbound train, and got off the train at Xiashan Mountain in Zhanjiang two days later.Due to the frequent traffic jams at the land ferry terminal, the team leader chose the sea route, which is to go directly to Hainan Island by boat from Zhanjiang.

Here, I saw the sea for the first time in my life, took a sea cruise for the first time, and saw Dongshan Island, the fourth largest island in China, lying quietly in the misty Guangzhou like a long dragon. In the bay, especially when passing by the edge of Naozhou Island, I saw the lighthouse up close for the first time. The mast lights of the fishing boats and the hanging lights of the sea ships intertwined and intertwined with each other, forming a mirage.Throughout the voyage, I have been standing on the side of the boat like a curious child watching the sea, watching the lights of fishing boats operating on the sea at night, just like stars scattered in the vast sea.

After dawn, the white belly of the east ushered in. I saw the sunrise on the sea for the first time. The blood-red sun emerged from the sea level, engraving long and dancing red lights on the sea surface. The sea is covered with sparkling waves.

At this time, the front was boiling, and I saw Hainan Island. From a distance, it was still a hazy horizon suspended in the sea at first, but as the ship moved forward, the horizon became a coastline that could not be seen from east to west.

After eight o'clock, we arrived in Haikou City, the capital of the Hainan administrative region. My first impression of Hainan Island was that it was hot.In front of the Hongkanpo Bus Terminal, the team leader let us take a short rest and have breakfast at the Jianguo Hotel. This is a kind of rice flour, they call it Hainanese flour, and it tastes quite fragrant.

Board the car heading south again.The car ran for more than nine hours on a journey of more than 300 kilometers. This time I really realized that taking a car is not an easy job. The bumps along the way make people's bones seem to be falling apart. Thank God, I finally Arrived at a small coastal county called Sanya.

The Jiefang brand car from the Nanfan base has long been waiting for us in Sanya Town, the county seat of Yaxian County, driving westward along the Haiyu West Line. Many sections of the road here are parallel to the coast, my God!The sea water here is so blue, and the sea breeze is so warm. Looking south, the two islands of Dongzhou and Xizhou lie quietly in the rippling sea. Behind them is the boundless ocean. , with a thin horizon line in the middle.

In Yacheng, the old county seat of Yaxian County, it faces the sea in the south, rests on the southern edge of the Wuzhi Mountains in the north, and has hills at both ends of the east and west. It looks like a coastal plain surrounded by mountains on three sides. It has been the most important agricultural area in Yaxian County since ancient times.We had lunch here before the car carried our group of curious outsiders on our way.

On the way to the base, it is no longer an asphalt road, but a rough dirt road. We came to a small basin in the mountains far away from Yacheng, and the base is in this basin.

Before getting out of the car, we saw a red banner hanging at the gate of the base saying welcome new comrades to the banner, which made us feel warm and that this is where we will take root and settle down in the future.

It's really beautiful here, although it's not far from the sea, it's just blocked by the hillside, we can't see the sea here.It is located in the south of Hainan Island, with little rain and high temperature all year round. It is a large greenhouse. In addition, there are perennial mountain streams in the mountains in the north, and water conservancy irrigation is convenient. Therefore, the south of Hainan Island is most suitable for the work of southern breeding.

Less than 300 meters away from the base is a production company called the Red Cloud Team on the farm. Although they are very close, they are two different units. They eat one kind of rice and speak two languages ​​(Hunan dialect and Hainan dialect). The so-called chickens and dogs communicate with each other and fart (the base old man joked), the two sides drink water from a well, and a stream flows in front of it, which is crystal clear and is a natural pool for people on both sides to wash their clothes and bathe.

This is how I started working and living in Hainan Island. Our main job is to purify and breed rice varieties, and at the same time cultivate new varieties.

my country is a big rice producing country, and the Yangtze River Basin and the southern region are the main producing areas.However, the rice seeds have been seriously degraded, and in some places the yield per mu is even less than [-] jin. Even in the years of good weather, it is just over [-] jin. After the three-year famine, my country began to purify and cultivate rice seeds.On the other hand, Hainan Island is an area with long summer and no winter, with abundant sunshine and smooth air circulation. The most important thing is that it is built here three times a year. When the north is icy and snowy, Hainan Island is still full of spring.This has unique geographical conditions for the cultivation work.The so-called southern propagation is to use the northern rice seeds to be cultivated many times in the southern Hainan Island, and then transported back to the north for planting, so that a higher yield can be obtained.

What we do here is farm work, but we are not real farmers, because every piece of land is labeled and recorded, and there are strict requirements from area to plant spacing to management, and there are daily inspections and supervision by special personnel.

I am a newcomer here, besides a dozen of our technical backbones, there are more than [-] experts in planting, and we have formed the Nanfan team.

The life here is very monotonous and boring. Most of the team members go to the Red Cloud team to find someone to play cards or chat with when it gets dark, but I prefer to read books at this time.After all, it is still hot at night here, and there are too many mosquitoes here.It has been a month since I came here, and it feels as hot as summer.

The moonlight was very clear on this day, and I couldn’t stand the mosquitoes and the heat. I took advantage of the moonlight to come to the stream. There was no one by the stream, and the hazy moonlight was reflected in the gurgling stream. It was so beautiful!

The creek is very shallow, the shallowest part is less than [-] centimeters, and it can flow to and from both banks. However, there are several large water dams in the river channel, which are of different depths. A good place for employees of the two units to wash and shower.

I took off my clothes and tiptoed down into the water. It was so refreshing and refreshing, and the heat was dispelled in an instant. I lay comfortably in the shallow river, closed my eyes, and let the stream flow by my side.

Just as I was basking in the moonlight, a man came by the stream, I didn’t know him, and continued to bask in my moonlight bath, my God, the people on the bank were stripped naked, holding a towel in their hands.

He came through the water, and when he passed by me, I realized that he was an old man, with such a healthy body!Until he squatted down on the water, and after a while of brushing and rubbing vigorously, only one head was exposed in the water.

This old man is Uncle Chen, a casual encounter, without greeting each other, let alone communicating.However, on this half-moon night, in this moonlit creek, he walked into my eyes, and it was three months later that he really walked into my heart and blended into my heart .

The third novella "Kapok Creek"

Climb high

In mid-July of the lunar calendar, as the second-generation rice enters a vigorous growth period, the breeding team has also made corresponding arrangements before filling. At this time, the most important work is field management. Several groups, such as Tianguan and Tianguan, merged into a large group to conduct comprehensive observation and monitoring of Daejeon.

At this time, there is a certain period of rest, especially after the salary is paid, colleagues can take a stroll around Yacheng or Sanya during this time, or go for a swim at the beach.Unfortunately, when it was my turn to rest, a colleague’s father was critically ill. He had to go to the city immediately to send something and send a telegram. Before he left, he asked me to borrow money. I gave him all the money in my pocket .So I had to continue to do my homework.Finally, it was my turn to rest again, and the tens of yuan in my pocket had already been borrowed by that comrade.I really want to go out to see the sea or buy some souvenirs, but I have no money in my pocket. I taste the feeling of having no time when I have money, and having no money when I have time. Very annoyed.

I haven’t left for a day since I was in the ravine. I’ve stayed here for a long time, and I finally had time to rest in rotation. Although I didn’t hesitate to lend money to my colleagues early on, I still felt very bored and blamed myself secretly. Why not keep some, even triangles.

I was bored, so I came to the stream and soaked my head. The whale drank a bellyful of water, as if shaking off the depression in my heart.Looking up, I inadvertently saw that the originally bright red kapok on the mountainside had withered and withered at some point.

I look at the flowers here every day, but I don’t pay attention to when I lost the flowers of the past. I don’t know whether it’s regretting my carelessness or feeling uncomfortable because of the withering of the flowers.A sense of falling flowers, unintentional, flowing water and ruthless feelings suddenly emerged in my heart. With a feeling of sadness and pity, I followed the path up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is the sugarcane plantation of the Hongyun team, and then there is the rubber plantation, and the kapok tree is halfway up the mountain.The kapok tree, which seems to be close at hand on weekdays, has to walk several miles to climb it.I saw that the bare kapok trees were covered with fruit buds that were not strong. At this time, the kapok trees looked unpretentious and unpretentious. Maybe they had given their gorgeous appearance to the flowers. It's hard to imagine that after the blooming flowers, it will return to simplicity so calmly.Looking at the thick trunk again, not only the bark is rough, but also covered with thick and sharp nails, defending the extremely fragile branches and branches. I feel the characteristics of kapok. When I picked up a kapok, there were already ants crawling on it. And insects, once gorgeous flowers, are undergoing another cycle.

"Why did you come up the mountain alone?"

Just when I was immersed in the emotions of this flower, a person came behind me, I knew him, he was Uncle Chen, I threw away the flower in my hand,

"Yes, I'm resting today, come up and take a look."

"After all, I'm still engaged in agricultural science, and I only study a flower for half a day."

I blushed and said, "Come up here if you have nothing to do."

Chen Bo laughed, and his laughter was very sweet, and he said, "Do you want to see the sea?"

I nodded: "But I have already climbed so high, and I still can't see the sea."

"Of course you can't see it from here. There is still a Nanshan mountain blocking the view in Yacheng. Come on, I'll take you to a place where you can see the sea."

"Really?" I became happy, and the haze in my heart was swept away.

I followed Uncle Chen down the mountain and climbed a small hill at the foot of the mountain. It was a bare hill with only small shrubs except stones. Uncle Chen led me along the path to the top of the hill.

"Look, the sea!"

Following his fingers, I saw the sea, like a pool of blue gems.I am very happy, thank you again and again.

"You people who have crossed the sea like to look at the sea."

I understand that the people who have crossed the sea in his mouth are actually mainlanders.Many Hainanese call us mainlanders or mainlanders.

We chatted very speculatively, and learned about him from him. Before he joined the farm work, the countryside was by the sea and he was a fisherman.After liberation, he participated in the construction of a recently established farm. However, because his wife was older than the regulations, he could not move into the farm with his registered permanent residence, so he had to farm in his hometown.

Since that encounter, this is the time when Uncle Chen and I really got to know each other. Recalling the first time we met him, it was really accidental. Maybe it was because he took a shower very late every day in this hot weather.

"Come and sit with me when you have time."

Before leaving, he said to me, whether it is sincere or not, I will take it seriously.With him, the mood is comfortable.Although it is a hot day, but my heart is like drinking honey water, cool and sweet.

He is the captain of the production team. During the day, he is busy with the big and small affairs of the team, and often goes out for meetings. Except when he goes back to see his wife and children, he is usually in the team.The first time I went to his room, it was an ordinary staff dormitory, but it was neglected, and there were a lot of items piled up, making it look messy.A canopy bed was reserved for team cadres, only the writing desk was kept clean.

I knew his living habits in the hot season, and I kept in touch with him intentionally, and I didn’t go out until after ten o’clock. At the end of July, the crescent moon at night was getting smaller and smaller, and the sky was very dark, only the dim light from the dormitory in the distance.At this time, there was no one by the stream, maybe he would not appear again, I felt a little disappointed in my heart.I took off my clothes and soaked in the cool stream.

Just as I was going ashore to soap up, he came.

"Why do you also like to take a shower at night?"

The cigarette hanging in Chen Bo’s mouth gave off a little fire. He took off his clothes and hung them on the brackets of the dressing shed, and walked into the water. Although the sky was dark, the unique breath of the elderly was enough to make me intoxicated.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and it's hot. You'll sweat even if you wash it early. Why don't you wash it now and go to bed after washing?" I obviously waited for him to come, so I had to make up an excuse.

"Xiao Chen, I forgot to bring soap, can I borrow yours and use it?"

"The soap box is on the grass by the bank, you can use it yourself."

When he was making soap, his body was covered with white foam, and the white light of the soap bubbles was moving, especially conspicuous in the dark.Looking at the white figure swaying in the hazy night, although it was seven or eight meters away, it was undoubtedly a feast for me at this time.

He went down to the water, covered in white soapy foam, buried his whole body in the water, and kept rubbing, until a burst of thick soapy water appeared on the surface of the water.

For a long time, we didn't go ashore until the soapy water in the water flowed away.The two returned to their respective units in silence.

Novella "Kapok Creek" Part [-]

far away

In the past few days, Uncle Chen and I have come to the stream to take a shower every day at this time, and occasionally rub each other, which invisibly awakens the restlessness in my heart, and awakens my admiration and love for the elderly.

Over time, once I was so distracted that I dared to cross the line. I don’t know why he immediately pushed my hand away, stood up and said “washing”, and went straight to the shore to change my clothes, leaving me in a daze in the water.

I was afraid, afraid that he would scold me angrily, and even more afraid that he would stop talking to me. I was like a child who did something wrong.

He left, and it took me a long time to come up.

I went back to the house and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep all night. I really hated myself. It was a moment of recklessness and impulsiveness that made me lose the opportunity to socialize with the elderly.I don't know if I face the old man in the future, I feel sorry for him.Waves of guilt, waves of remorse, I really want to cut off my sinful hands.

It was only after five o'clock in the morning, and the cooks at the base just woke up to make breakfast, and I followed suit, brushing my teeth and washing my face in the kitchen.

"Technician Chen, why did you get up so early?" asked the cook in the base kitchen.

"6701 in Lot [-] is in flowering period, I have to observe the wind direction in the morning."

I'm not all lying. After the break, I have to work hard, but it's just a little earlier than usual. The base encourages technicians to cultivate their own strains according to their personal preferences, and to set aside special plots and number them for planting.The premise cannot affect the job. Once the standard is met, it will be included in the overall plan of the base.

Of course, the most important thing for me is to avoid meeting with the old man who is close at hand, because he is the captain of the Red Cloud team, and he often comes to the base to talk to our leaders. After all, the two units are close neighbors.

I went out, at five o'clock, it was the darkest hour of the day, the ground was dark, I hurriedly walked on the familiar field path, No. 6701 land is at the southern end of Datianyang, my [-] is here, they are like It's my sweetheart, and it's starting to fill up quickly, two days earlier than usual.Caressing the long ears of rice, with a light grass fragrance, I seem to see the smiles of the farmers after the harvest. At this time, it is most necessary to strengthen field management. I rolled up my trousers and went down to the field to build the foundation and dredge the drainage ditches .The flowering period depends on the fertility, so the water in the field must be drained first,

During the work, I greeted the first ray of dawn. Soon, farmers and workers came to the field one after another. Everyone was digging ditches to drain the rice fields and preparing to apply the third fertilizer to the rice after flowering. It's called chasing fat.To ensure the nutrient supply of rice when filling grain.

I am passionate about labor, and I can feel happy during labor. In fact, this is also the habit I have developed for a long time, talking less and doing more. Only during labor and after sweating profusely can I temporarily forget all the bumps in my heart.

The scary night still comes on time. I used to have a longing for the night, because in the dark night, I would let go of all kinds of lonely and lonely thoughts. I am also used to this kind of way to pass the long night Way.

But tonight, I am afraid of the night coming.I don't know if I'm sinking into this night.

After dinner, under the dim light, I compiled a large number of monotonous and lengthy data reports. When I habitually stood up and stretched, it turned out to be ten o'clock. It seems that I am used to this ten o'clock!

I knew that Uncle Chen also had the habit of going to the shower at ten o'clock, so I deliberately staggered the time, and only after eleven o'clock did I tiptoe to the kapok stream which was [-] meters away from the house.

There was no one by the creek, and I was glad that my precise calculation finally avoided the embarrassment of meeting Uncle Chen.I couldn't face him, an apology was not enough to make up for my disrespect to an old man.

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I found a dark shadow on the other side of the creek.stand up.

It was Uncle Chen. It turned out that he had been waiting for my arrival.

"So late tonight? Is there something wrong?" He waded over with soap in his hand and clothes under his arm.

There was no trace of blaming me in his voice, which was unexpected to me.It made me feel hot, and I was at a loss. It was worth climbing up the bamboo pole.

"Oh, oh, yes, sorting out the materials, you..." I was a little incoherent.

"I just came here too. It's hot and there are many mosquitoes, so I come here to enjoy the breeze," Chen Bo said.

I was overjoyed, and cursed secretly: "Old man, you're lying."

Immediately gathered the soul that had been scattered for a long time, I blamed myself for underestimating him, he is by no means a stingy person.

Thank God, I met a good man, an old man who made my heart flutter, I warned myself, don't make trouble again, I would rather he is like a beautiful butterfly on my arm, and I can't reach out Catch him, that would scare him away, and then I would lose the chance to appreciate him.

Although I wanted to hug him so much at this time, this is a charming male body, I really can't imagine that an old man still has such a strong body, with uneven lumpy muscles in the abdomen, and slender limbs. The muscles are like a group of imprisoned little mice. If it weren't for the gray hair and messy beard, who would believe that this is an old man?

No matter what, I dare not go beyond the thunder pond.

At this moment, Uncle Chen turned around. In the darkness, I felt that his breathing was a little tight. I thought he was about to go up, so I handed him the towel.But he suddenly hugged me tightly.

The fifth novella "Kapok Creek"

Sprinkle in Kapok Creek

The stars in the sky kept blinking blue starlight, lying on the soft sand on the gentle slope by the stream, I wept, weeping silently, at this moment, there were only two people in my mind:

One was my head teacher when I was 14 years old, he was a pious devil; when he stretched out his powerful claws and pushed me to the ground, I resisted with all my strength. Silence and full rage hated him.It was he who stabbed a knife in my heart and caused a wound that would never heal, and I hated him so much!

One is Uncle Chen who is beside me, an old man in the mountains that I admire very much.

"Jiangnan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm the one who doesn't respect you. It's me, a bad old man, who ruined you." His voice trembled slightly, full of apology.

"No, Uncle Chen" I struggled to sit up.

He came to support me, and I held his hand tightly, for fear that he would get up and leave.It was just that I didn't resist or even complain about his rudeness. We ignited the fire of desire from hell, and love got purgatory in the primitive wildness, fissioning the care and admiration between the two men for a lifetime.

It's just that all this happened too fast, and without the slightest preparation in my mind, I was reduced to ashes by the fire of desire.Maybe this is my fate. Although I don't believe in fate, such a fate has come. I hold his hand tightly and sit quietly by the stream, clinging to each other.

"Uncle," I said, "in Jiangnan's heart, you are an upright man, you know, since I met you here, I have liked you from the bottom of my heart."

"Jiangnan, you are a good young man."

"Uncle, it's not you who ruined me, but a former teacher of mine."

"Oh, what's going on?" Uncle Chen was a little stunned.

"Uncle Chen, after I say it, maybe you will look down on me."

"It was his atrocities that made me fall, and made it difficult for me to accept women anymore. It was he who changed my life."

In the dark, I tried to get close to him, weeping and telling the unfortunate past of my youth that had been suppressed in my heart for many years, releasing the nightmare in my heart.He didn't make a sound, perhaps because he didn't want to interrupt me.For many years, he was the first person to know what was on my mind, and I felt a feeling of expressing myself in my heart.

"It's unreasonable, what a beast!" He cursed in a low voice, with anger in his words.

Then he was silent for a long time before saying, "Xiao Chen, actually... I am the same, I'm sorry."

I said, "It's different, you are someone I admire and like."

Suddenly I felt his shortness of breath, and my chest was a little warm. It turned out that Uncle Chen was crying, and the tears were so warm, which made me worry so much. It took him a long time to stop his silent sobs.

"Jiangnan!" Uncle Chen said, "Actually, Uncle has liked you for a long time. Since he took you to climb mountains and see the sea, Uncle has been waiting here every day for you to come out."

"Uncle, you are so bad, why don't you tell others?" I wanted to say, but I swallowed it back, and the silence speaks louder now.

Uncle Chen and I really fell in love with each other. Mumianxi witnessed our love. We hugged each other tightly without speaking.The night sky looks gray and high under the starlight, the earth is dark, the mountains are just rows of shadows, and the kapok stream is still flowing peacefully at the foot. On this moonless night, Wan Lai is silent for us, only a blink The blinking stars are listening to our hearts.

The sixth novella "Kapok Creek"

Homecoming

It was finally the harvest season, and the indicators of my 6701 surpassed the "6" series, and was included in the "7" series of scientific research projects by the base, participating in the competition of many strains.Every year, many lines are won, and many new lines are supplemented to participate in the competition. As a southern breeding base, it is to cultivate new lines for the country's rice and increase my country's grain production as its own responsibility.

And although my 6701 has been upgraded and included in the scientific research projects of the base, all the data come from the experimental field of the South Breeding Base with excellent growing environment. If you want to get the real field yield, you have to go through the farmer's field planting. .The choice of Datian must go beyond 23 degrees north latitude, which is the main rice producing area in our country.At that time, the emphasis was on "crossing the Yellow River and crossing the Yangtze River". After crossing the Yangtze River, rice yields increased as it went south.

I am very honored that 6701 was planted by a Nanfan team in northern Guangdong, and they were planted in the fields of northern Guangdong and Qiongbei for comparison.I was also seconded to work in the team. As a breeder, I named 6701 Hongmian No. [-].Therefore, I often travel back and forth between the two fields.

Maybe it's the short way home. When I was in northern Guangdong, the leader specially approved a 10-day holiday to go home and visit relatives.I have been away from home for almost a year, and the family has not changed much.I was too busy, so I couldn’t stay, so I helped my parents to work in the fields. It’s only now that my hometown near the Yangtze River has started to plow the fields. Not to mention that the rice in Hainan Island has already started to fill grain, even compared with northern Guangdong, it’s much slower.

When my parents saw that I was 25 years old this year, they were busy urging me to go on a blind date, and met many girls in just a few days.I was completely unwilling in my heart, and I told the matchmaker that I was dissatisfied as soon as I went out. The reason was that I was fat, thin, short, and dark.The matchmaker had no choice but to leave angrily. My father was so angry that he wanted to beat me up.If there is no mother to stop, this matter is not guaranteed.

Regardless of whether my father's stick falls or not, even if he beats me to death, I will not agree to get married, because on that distant 18° north latitude line, by the bank of the kapok stream, there is an old man who is in love with me. For him, I Deny anyone access to my emotional space.That's why I refused my parents' arranged marriage for me.

It's just that I can't say these words. At this moment, I miss him very much in my heart. Uncle Chen, are you okay?

When the hasty vacation was about to pass, and before I was about to leave home again, my mother's tears made my heart ache, and almost broke my firm determination, so I gritted my teeth and survived.

"Mom, I'm still young, let's talk about it in a few years."

"Jiangnan, don't be as knowledgeable as your father. His temper is like this. I have been with him for decades. I know his temper, but he has a very good heart."

"Mom, he's my dad, and I won't bear any grudges against him."

At dinner, my mother slaughtered the chicken and drank wine, but this time my father didn't drink. From his melancholy expression, I could see that he really didn't want to spend money on drinking. This made me feel guilty for a while. I save the cost of begging for a wife.

The young brother, who is only over eight years old this year, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg while eating.

"The youngest son!" The father glared at the younger brother. In this family with strict upbringing, the younger brother immediately put the chicken legs back on the plate.My father stopped talking, and silently put two chicken legs into my bowl.

I was moved for a while, and in an instant, it was as clear as it happened yesterday that my father's big hands led me into the school.I feel that my father is the sun of my life to me. Although I am much taller than my father, the weight of my father in my heart has not diminished in the slightest.

I broke the chicken legs into pieces and shared them with my siblings, chewing with relish.

"Eat slowly, there's more on the plate," my mother scolded with a smile, "A bunch of foodies."

Father remained silent, but there was a gentle look in his eyes, like a ray of warm sunshine.

The next day, my father sent me to the entrance of the village. When I met acquaintances, he greeted them kindly, and then they all responded: "My Jiangnan is going back to work in Hainan Island today, so send him off."

I know that I have always been my father's pride. In order to repay my father, I am willing to work harder and add glory to his face.

I got on the passing bus and looked back at my father who was standing there. He didn't wave goodbye, but quietly watched me go away. It wasn't until the car turned a corner that my father's figure disappeared from my sight.

A few days later, I went to Zhanjiang to change trains. When I boarded the ship again, I felt a sense of returning home. Uncle Chen, how are you?

With concern in my heart, I forgot the exhaustion of the journey, I got off the car in Yacheng, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and I saw Chen Bo who I missed day and night at a glance.

Today he is wearing a pair of blue trousers, a pile of Jiefang cloth shoes, and a sky blue Dacron shirt. Especially since he has just shaved, he looks extraordinarily energetic.Parked behind him was his precious "Hong Mian" brand bicycle.

"Uncle!" I greeted him.

He came over to pick up my luggage, and said, "I received your telegram, and it is assumed that you are on the bus in the afternoon. Who knows, I still have to wait for several hours."

"Uncle, are you okay?" I really wanted to kiss him, but I could only shake his hand.

He turned back and smiled, "Well, how is everyone in the family?"

"They are all very good. I will have the opportunity to go to Hunan with you to see them in the future."

"Haha, I'm afraid they won't understand my Mandarin with a Hainanese accent."

"That's okay, my parents can only speak Hunan dialect, and my siblings and I will be your translators."

"Haha, let's talk about it when we have a chance."

He hung my luggage on the front of his double-bar loadbike, bought a small bag of betel nuts from a roadside vendor for a few cents, took out a small piece of green fruit, and wrapped it with betel leaves smeared with lime. I put the betel horn in my mouth to chew, and spit out a large mouthful of light red betel nut juice for a while, then I chewed with relish, reached out and took out the shredded tobacco, I stopped him.

"Uncle, there are cigarettes in the satchel, I bought them for you."

I took out a "Flying Eagle" from the bag hanging on the front of the bike, which I bought when changing bikes in Zhanjiang.

Uncle Chen complained: "Why do you sell such expensive cigarettes? I just need shredded tobacco."

"You can buy cigarettes at will, unlike in Hainan where quotas are allocated, so I just bought them."

Although he complained, he still tore open a pack with a smile, lit one, and exhaled a large amount of smoke, looking very comfortable, "It seems that I will be spoiled by you."

"Uncle, seeing how beautiful you are, is it really that enjoyable?" I was infected by his expression, but I really couldn't appreciate the taste in it.

"Well, it's very comfortable. I asked you to learn to chew betel nuts, but you refused."

"I'm not going to learn that stuff, dirty."

"It will be dirty, so what about me, I'm not dirty?"

"You are an exception."

"Haha..." He laughed out loud.

After leaving Yacheng, I sat on the rear frame of his bicycle. We talked endlessly along the way, and the dirt road was very bumpy. He asked me to hold his waist to avoid falling.

I kept rubbing my hands on his abdomen, the plank muscle was still so firm and so lovable.His back was already sweating a lot, and when I pressed my face against it, it felt like a mountain, and I sniffed his sweat with all my might, it smelled so fragrant.

"Uncle, you are tired, take a break."

"I'm not tired. I used to carry two hundred catties back to the company by myself. You're not that heavy."

"Uncle, people love you so much."

"Haha, I know, Uncle is a rough man, he looks so dark, I don't know how happy I am to be with you, and I will be reincarnated as a Hunanese in my next life, and I will look as white and tender as you."

I was amused by his innocence, "Uncle, I'm afraid you won't know the way, and if you go to Africa by mistake, it will be even darker."

Uncle Chen laughed: "Then I'll be a black African. Jiangnan, this time you went to the mainland, plus visiting relatives, and you haven't been with you for a month, but Uncle is very anxious, thinking looking at you."

There was a warm feeling in my heart, being so cared for by an old man, I felt this kind of happiness and satisfaction in my heart.

"Uncle, in fact, Jiangnan is thinking about you all the time." I said emotionally.

The road was bumpy all the way, all the way to tell the longing in my heart, the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the mountains, the sky became much darker unconsciously, the road ahead became a little hazy, and there were still five or six miles away from the base. After Chen Bo climbed up a slope, he could already see the lights of Nanfan base and Hongyun team.

"Jiangnan, let's take a break, shall we?" Uncle Chen asked for my opinion.

"I'm tired enough along the way, I'll take a smoke and rest before leaving." I immediately agreed.

Uncle Chen turned the front of the car and entered a path overgrown with wild grass. He stopped a few meters away from the main road, picked up his bicycle, and sat down on a flat place with little grass.

I sat down opposite him, took out the kettle and handed it to him, he took it,
