Chapter 14: Love is just a blank eye
The winter of 1990 was cold, with snow covering thirty centimeters thick, and ice under the eaves being one meter long. It was completely impossible to compare with the winter before rebirth.
When he returned home on Saturday, Li Qubing specially put on thick straw sandals that his father had woven with reeds last winter. Although it was not as light as cotton shoes, he didn't have to run at school when it snowed and didn't have to take physical education classes. It was light and light or not anymore. Keeping warm is the top priority.
The three or four centimeters thick wooden soles of straw sandals suddenly increased Li Qubing's altitude a lot. Li Qubing, who could only sit in the first row at a height, finally felt a sense of superiority. But the straw sandals suddenly made Li Qubing the focus of the class again! Although this era is relatively poor, it is not as poor as wearing straw sandals. Li Qubing's straw sandals are not only the only one in the class, but also the only one in the school.
"Li Qubing, is your family very poor?" A girl sitting behind Li Qubing asked curiously.
"I'm very poor. How do you know?"
"Look, you're wearing straw sandals. Straw sandals! I've only seen it in history books during the Long March of the Red Army climbing grass through snow-capped mountains, and it's the first time I've seen it in reality." The girl asked curiously.
"I'm a new-style straw sandal, how can I compare with the straw sandals at that time?"
"New straw sandals? What is a new way?"
"In the past, straw sandals were all wheat straw, rice straw, and the whole shoe was made of straw. My straw sandals were woven with reeds and wool, and there were several layers of cloth and cotton inside."
"Wow, as you say that, your straw sandals are so thick, must be very warm, right?"
"It's much warmer than cotton shoes, and the soles are thicker, so I don't have to worry about wearing snow. The only thing is that the shoes are too bulky. I don't have to run or take physical education classes when it snows."
"Haha, such straw sandals are too bulky. If anyone hits you twice, you can't catch up with you."
"I don't have to chase you, look, I'm sitting at the door. I just caught him when he entered the door. After I caught him, I'll step on my feet. My bottom of the wood will definitely make him feel good."
"Haha, you have to show off. It will definitely be inconvenient to wear it so stupid!"
"Hehe, it's very difficult to get along. Do you want to lend it to you for two days?"
"Forget it, I'm afraid I can't walk."
"No, although it looks stupid, the shoes are paulownia, not as heavy as you think."
"Then I don't wear it either, I will become famous after wearing it for a while."
"Zhang Ailing said: You should become famous as soon as possible."
"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, so don't be famous, there is nothing good."
"You are not a pig. Pigs are afraid of being strong because they will be killed and thoroughly sucked."
"You are a pig? Humph, Ignore you, you are crazy."
......
It was another Saturday, and Li Qubing and Guangjun went home together. Li Qubing rode a bicycle and carried Guangjun slowly on the half-dry road.
"Get sick, how do you ask for a girl?" From the time I met Guangjun after school, Guangjun was a little uneasy. He wanted to say something but he held back. In the end, when there was no one else on the road, Guangjun finally couldn't help it.
When Li Qubing heard Guangjun's words, he immediately became energetic. He couldn't help but remember that Guangjun fell in love with a girl in the first year of junior high school in his previous life. Then he started chasing him in the second year of junior high school. After eight years of chasing, he finally caught up with the girl in his sophomore year. Finally, two years after the girl graduated from college, they got married! They became a happy couple.
All this happened when Guangjun only graduated from junior high school, and the girl was on the basis of studying in a very good undergraduate college! In the 1990s, the gap was really not very big. One was a state cadre who ate commercial grain, and the other was a soldier who went to join the army two years after graduating from junior high school.
For this reason, this marriage has always been a beautiful conversation in the circle of friends and is a legend!
Will history repeat itself? Well, it is very likely! Maybe this life will become a beautiful story.
"Chasing a girl? Do you want to chase a girl? Brother Jun, have you fallen in love with that girl?"
After hearing Li Qubing's sarcastic question, Guangjun slapped him and said, "Don't worry about who I like? Do you know how to chase him?"
"I said, brother, you are only 13 years old now. You are just in the first year of junior high school. It's early love. Besides, if you are chasing others now, isn't that scary?"
"My mother said to my uncle: There are few good girls, so you should start early, and your hands are fast and your hands are slow. I think it makes sense! I should start early."
When Li Qubing heard the saying "There are few good girls and children, you should start early, and your hands are fast and your hands are slow and you are not", Li Qubing suddenly thought of a sentence circulating on the Internet in his previous life, "When I want to fall in love early, I find that I can only get married late"!
What a painful realization!
"Then I think it's too early to start now! But, I think, you should remember now and let everyone know that if you catch up with it in two years, you will be able to get married after two or three years."
"What I said is right. But how can I remember it? Can this person still remember it?"
"You can tell that girl that you like her, but because you are too young, you won't chase her and affect her studies, and then you will chase her when you get older."
"Is this OK?"
"Why can't it work? Tell me why it doesn't work?"
"What if she was chased away by someone else?"
"You said first. It's more difficult for other boys to chase after you. As long as you open your mouth, the girl will definitely think of you. Besides, you should pay more attention to the boy who is interested in her. If you find someone is interested in her, you can start first. A red heart and prepare both hands."
"That's fine. I'll think about it first!"
"By the way, what's that girl's name? I'll go and see what she looks like, which makes our Jun brother fascinated."
"I won't tell you!"
"It's still confidential?"
"It must be kept confidential."
"You keep it secret from me?"
"Wait, I'll talk about it when I think I can."
"Then why do you like her?"
"Didn't we re-rank after the mid-term exam? A girl and I were in the front and back positions, and I was behind her. Once I didn't know how to offend her, so she turned around and rolled her eyes. I didn't know why, but she remembered her at first glance, and then liked her!"
"Hahahaha, let me laugh for a while, it turns out that love is just a roll of eyes."
Li Guangjun punched Li Qubing in the back of the bicycle: "Hey, what were you talking about?"
"Okay, okay, haha, love is just a roll of eyes!"
Li Guangjun punched again: "You still said!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. But she sits in front of you and arrives at school tomorrow. I'll find out who it is. I want to see what it looks like, which can actually charm our handsome brother Jun!"
......
Only then did Li Guangjun realize that he had accidentally revealed his secret! Alas, it was useless to keep it confidential, at most one day. Besides, if the secret was leaked again when he was inquiring about the disease, it would be even worse if it spreads!
"Okay, okay, you don't need to inquire. Her name is Zhang Fang."
"Which village is from?"
"On Nizhuang."
History has really happened again, it was the girl in the previous life, and the time point in the previous life.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep it confidential for you, you don't know me."
"Okay, I believe in you."
Before I knew it, I had already walked to the brick kiln at home.
"Guangjun, you go back first. I'll go to the coal kiln. I remember to come to the brick kiln to call me when I go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, you go, I'll leave first." Li Guangjun took the bicycle and rode it on.
There were no bustling people on the coal mine, only my father and two uncles. It was snowing and frozen, and there was no way to make bricks!
However, what made Li Qubing happy was that there were already many dry brick embryos, all covered under the straw mat.
They won't be able to wait long and they will become small money, Li Qubing thought happily.
"Uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, I'm back!"
Father Li answered, "When you come back, hurry up and go home, it's cold here."
"Brother, it's snowing, why are you still in the kiln?"
"Just fill the kiln and seal it, and only burn it!"
"Uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, it's easy to burn a kiln. It's not that hard to take turns watching the fire. You have worked so hard for so long, and finally you can relax!"
"Yes, it's been half a year soon, I'm exhausted!"
"Uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, give me the temperature record. After you click me, I will be on duty."
"Forget it, you kids' every family can't even shovel coal." Uncle San was suddenly happy.
"Don't underestimate people, I can move 100 kilograms of grain bags."
"Dark, you can still move the food bag!" Uncle San was happy again.
Well, since my third uncle got engaged, he has always been silly and happy. He is so happy when he is happy!
"Don't underestimate others, I'll do it long ago. If you don't believe me, please ask my uncle."
"Okay! I believe it. Go home quickly, your mother said to improve your life tonight."
When Li Qubing saw that he couldn't help here, he would also share the hearts of the adults, so he said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Be careful when you do it, come back to have a meal after it."
"Well, let's check again if the kiln seal has been sealed. I will improve my life tonight, and I will not light the fire today, and I will light it again tomorrow morning."
Tonight is really improving life. There are four dishes: pork vermicelli, fried cabbage with fried tofu skin, pickled garlic shoots and fried meat, and dried beans! The 3 meat dishes really improve life greatly.
Not only that, there is wine.
Wine is not a good wine, famous wine, local Shaokang wine - good quality and cheap price.
The meal was very enjoyable, and the three adults were a little drunk. Apart from the Chinese New Year, there was no sumptuous dinner at home for a long time.
