waste heat

Chapter 70

Standing at the door of Cheng Yan's house, Song Yu, who was empty-handed and serious, heard the unfriendly exchange. He came to the elevator and pressed the elevator to go downstairs. The person on the phone was thinking about how to answer him?Cheng Yan has not spoken yet.

Song Yu didn't press to ask, he was waiting, waiting for him to return this trip, what surprises would it bring him.

"It happened when I was a child..." Cheng Yan's voice came from the receiver, a little shy: "It can't be counted."

This doesn't convince Song Yu, why can't it count?There are people who pay attention to baby kissing, and there is still such an agreement until now. Song Yu pressed the elevator and said in a deep voice, "Where is your grandma's house?"

Cheng Yan asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Song Yu said: "I'll go find you later."

Cheng Yan was startled and said, "Ah? Why?"

It can't be because of something like this, can it?

Song Yu said grandly: "I just want to see what the person you are pestering to be engaged to looks like."

Cheng Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't, I said it was when I was a child, I don't even know each other now, and my grandma's family is in the countryside..."

"What happened to the countryside?" Song Yu interrupted him.

Cheng Yan explained: "There's nothing wrong with the countryside. I mean, it's too far away from us. It will take three or four hours. Don't bother, and I'll go back at night."

He was really afraid that Song Yu would come over, his temper had always been like that, he could do what he said, Cheng Yan didn't dare to be sloppy.

Song Yu said, "OK."

After hanging up the phone, Song Yu took the elevator down.

He didn't come here to deliver things to Cheng Yan today, but to Cheng Yan's family. Song Yu hasn't visited Cheng Yan's parents for a long time. He bought some things and came to see him. When he came, he found that Cheng Ma was alone. At home, I would have contacted if I knew about it.

Song Yu didn't stay at Cheng Yan's house for a long time, even though Cheng's mother warmly entertained her, and Cheng Yan wasn't there, so forget it, and come back when everyone is at home.

Song Yu left Cheng Yan's house and didn't go home. Just in time, someone contacted him and asked him to go out and sit down. After making an appointment, Song Yu picked up his mobile phone.

Those who came were from the previous group of primary school students, not so many this time, just the two of them, waiting for Song Yu at the agreed place.

"Why are you here again?" Song Yu said to the two friends who were drinking at the bar after arriving.

"Come here to do something," said the friend, "By the way, when will you go back?"

Song Yu knew it well and said, "Didn't my mother ask you to come here?"

The friend didn't hide it either, and said: "Ah, you don't go home every year, besides your mother, do you want us brothers?"

Song Yu came to the bar and sat down. The bar is very suitable for talking, there is no restless music, and every communication can be heard quietly.

The waiter at the bar pushed him a glass of wine, but Song Yu didn't drink it, and pushed it to a friend next to him.

"Why, don't you drink?" The friend looked down at the wine glass that was pushed over, pulled the wine glass in front of him, and looked up at Song Yu.

Song Yu explained: "I may have to drive later."

"Why go?"

"Secret." Song Yu played charades.

My friend smiled, this is still a bit of a mystery, so I can't help but make fun of it: "It's okay, keep it secret, you're all unfamiliar, and you have a secret with us."

Song Yu also reasoned, refused to admit defeat at all, and retorted with reason and evidence: "You are with my mother, why should I have no secrets from you?"

The two friends couldn't help laughing, the last time they came here was also for this matter, they ran so far to see that he was entrusted by the gods to grind Song Yu's ears, and let Song Yu go back, it didn't work last time, and it may not be so this time .

"Could it be with your mother? We're here for you. We've been here for so many years. It's extremely difficult to meet each other. I don't know what kind of treasure is fascinated by you."

Song Yu chuckled, liking this explanation very much, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes restraining the precious emotions in his eyes: "Don't tell me, there is really a good thing."

"What?"

"people."

-

At noon, Cheng Yan and his father went to the field with a hoe.

According to his father's words, he has never experienced hardship, and he wanted to try it today. He had nothing to do at home, and when the sun was high, his father sent him to the field to suffer.

There is a sesame field by the river, which was also made by his grandma. The land is not big, the size of two houses, and there are tall sesame seeds growing all over it. Cheng Yan pointed to this sesame field under the scorching sun and asked, "Is this one?" ?”

Dad led the way in front: "Yes."

Cheng Yan looked around, there were sesame fields. Grandma's house was at the very corner, next to a river, and there were a few ducks looking for food in the water. After a while, they stuck their heads in and picked up something. Cheng Yan looked at it for a while before stepping into the sesame field with his father.

The land has never been changed, and Cheng’s father is familiar with the several lands in the family, but later the young people went out, and the old man was too old to move, so he rented most of the land to the big planters in the village, and kept the land. A small piece of sesame and rapeseed is the most recognizable piece of land, which is close to the water source and has a bridge next to it.

Usually everyone calls the place here "Liangtou", which means a place with a bridge or a building.

"How to get dad?" Cheng Yan stood on the ground, he couldn't use the hoe in his hand, so his dad threw a shovel for him.

"Pull the weeds." Dad pointed to the rare grasses in the field, "Did you see that those next to the sesame seeds are grasses, which will absorb nutrients, so pull them up by the roots."

Cheng Yan squatted down, this job is not difficult, he pulled out a grass easily, "No tools are needed."

Dad Cheng said: "Some grasses are old and hard and cannot be pulled out. You can loosen the soil with the shovel at hand. Remember to pull out the roots, otherwise it will grow very quickly."

"Understood." Cheng Yan spread his hands and asked, "Then where do you throw the pulled grass?"

"Whatever, don't pay attention, just throw it in the ground, and it will die anyway."

"Then I'll throw it in the ground." Cheng Yan threw all the pulled grass in the same area of ​​the ground, thinking about getting them out together later, although Dad said it could be thrown in the ground, but looking at it That pile of grass is quite in the way, why not just throw it all by the river.

Cheng Yan pulled it out by hand, but his father was using farm tools to loosen the soil. Cheng Yan couldn't understand what his father was doing, but he loosened the soil for a while, and then buried it again.

It was really hot, and after only a short while, Cheng Yan was already sweating.

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the distance, especially like a rogue whistle. Cheng Yan and his father looked up to the source of the sound. Three boys riding a motorcycle Nan`feng were watching them from the bridge. One of them was Cheng Yan. Yan remembers, but Dad's memory is not very good.

Asked: "Who is it?"

Cheng Yan said: "The one who will come, grandma said I know it."

Dad remembered, and said, "Oh, that Haozi who insists on betrothing you even if your grandma beats you?"

Cheng Yan pierced his eyes: "Dad, what are you talking about, I was not sensible when I was young."

Dad smiled, lifted his chin and said, "That kid is very interested in you. He wants to say hello to you. Why don't you go talk to him?"

"Don't say it," Cheng Yan fiddled with the grass in his hand, "It's so embarrassing."

It's embarrassing, he is embarrassed to think about that incident when he was a child, and he doesn't know if the other party remembers it. He didn't understand etiquette, justice and shame at the time, so he just remembered that this Haozi was very good at getting along with a group of children, especially in a group of children. The child is also Mu Qiang, so Cheng Yan follows him every day and calls him "Brother Hao".

As for the matter of getting married... He really didn't understand at that time. He thought that getting married means that he can continue to play with Haozi after he grows up, and the adults say to get married or something, and they will live together in the future. Cheng Yan is willing, he has no one Brothers and sisters, how nice is it to have an older brother?Cheng Yan would like this person so much. In order to play and live with Haozi in the future, he insisted on getting engaged to him. At that time, everyone in the village laughed at him, and Haozi's mother couldn't help laughing too, but they just laughed and didn't care. Explain, Cheng Yan only now knows how ridiculous he is.

Really, he only paid attention to playing when he was a child.

I really didn't think about it so complicated, isn't it just a family?He wanted Haozi to be part of his family, so he made such a big joke that grandma said that he was very playful and didn't understand anything.

Only now did Cheng Yan realize how embarrassing it was, what to say?How can you sit down and talk about the past in harmony when you are too embarrassed to even meet people?

Cheng Yan ignored the three people on the bridge, and the three probably felt bored, so they didn't continue to tease him, and Cheng Yan devoted himself to the "weed weeding business" wholeheartedly.

"Young bastard," Cheng's father said, "you don't look like a good guy. The people here are wild, if you don't want to play with him, don't talk to them."

Dad Cheng grew up here, he knows the temperament of the people here, the boys are the most restless when they are teenagers, it is the same in the city and the countryside, they are hooligans in their bones, and they will organize three or five people to fight if they don't like anyone. .

"Duoye?" Cheng Yan asked.

Cheng's father frightened him and said, "Hit you with a knife."

Cheng Yan was startled and said, "True or not?"

Cheng's father said: "It's true, your father and I have grown up so hard that it's not easy."

Cheng Yan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me you were a hooligan when you were young."

"Isn't that right? In this village, if I don't have to be the boss, I can still be considered the second child. Just with that one, Haozi and his second uncle, the two of us get along best..."

Dad began to recall when he was a child, Cheng Yan was weeding while listening to his father's "brilliant deeds" back then, no wonder his heart was a little wild, it turned out to be hereditary, so it's okay.

If his father hadn't married his mother, he would probably be a ruffian now. With his record since childhood, Cheng Yan doubted that his grandfather kicked his father every day because he didn't do a good job.

After working in the field for two hours, when she came back, grandma was so distressed, she cut watermelon for Cheng Yan, took milk, and said who bought the milk for her, she was reluctant to drink it all the time, and kept it for him.

Cheng Yan drank a bottle of pure milk in one breath. He didn't like to drink pure milk before, but he really didn't pick anything when he was thirsty. Cheng Yan held the empty box and said, "Milk, who do you leave it for?" Ah, I come once every 800 years, don’t keep it past the expiration date, drink it yourself, and this pure milk is very good for your body, so it’s suitable for you to drink.”

Cheng's father broke the stage and said, "It's good for your health, and I don't usually see you drinking it."

Cheng Yan smiled: "Isn't this thirsty?"

Cheng Yan was sitting in the main room blowing on a fan. The fan must not be as cool as the air conditioner, but this fan is an old-fashioned ceiling fan. The leaves are so big that it cools the whole room when it blows. Grandma's house is a bit dark and humid. It didn't feel too hot when blowing.

"I won't let you go to the field. You insist on going with your father. Your father grew up in the field. Can you do the same?" Grandma said distressedly: "It's white and clean. If you come to grandma's place and go back, it will be dark." , will your mother blame me?"

"No way, my mother is so nice," Cheng Yan said, "And she also came from the countryside. I wish I had worked in the fields."

When Cheng Yan was talking, the big black dog ran back from the outside. This dog is not afraid of people, and he got to know Cheng Yan within a day. It was hot outside, and the dog ran in and nestled by Cheng Yan's legs, so hot that he vomited Tongue.

"I still like dogs." Grandma's eyes didn't leave Cheng Yan halfway, and her eyes were full of love. "Don't you have dogs at home?"

Cheng Yan touched the dog's ears and said, "My mother won't let me keep it."

Dad Cheng added on the sidelines: "The main reason is that it's not easy to take care of. Usually, there is no one at home when you go to work. You have to be responsible for keeping the dog. It's not a problem to keep it closed all day long."

"Then what responsibility should I bear? Look at this dog, I'll tie it up. It's fine if you don't tie it up and let it run around the village." Grandma said.

"It's not the same," Cheng's father said, "It's not as convenient outside as at home."

Grandma said: "Cheng Cheng likes dogs so much, if Xiao Li is willing, I will let you take this dog away."

"Don't wrong it," Cheng Yan bent down and rubbed the big dog's belly, "Our house can't stretch its legs, it's better here, let it run as it pleases."

The family talked for a long time around a dog.

Originally planned to leave at three o'clock in the afternoon, but grandma was unwilling and asked the two of them to stay for an extra day. Dad Cheng said that he had work tomorrow, so he had no choice but to leave later. It was not easy to go home, and so did Dad Cheng. I want to stay a little longer.

"Can't you go?" Grandma said, "You go to work tomorrow, but Cheng Cheng won't be there, can't he go tomorrow?"

Cheng Yan looked at his father: "Is it okay?"

Father Cheng looked at the innocent Cheng Yan, and asked sharply, "Where do you live?"

Grandma said: "Why is there no place to live? He has been sleeping with me since he was a child, and he can share the same bed with me. If it's not good enough, the room I got for you before is not occupied? Why can't you live in it after tidying up?"

Dad Cheng said, "It's not Mom, it's inconvenient."

Grandma said anxiously: "What's the inconvenience? I came back after a long time, why do you have to take it away for him in such a hurry? Do you think my old lady's place is dirty?"

"Oh mom, where did you say that? I grew up here, what do I have to hate?" Dad Cheng hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, Cheng Cheng is here, Cheng Cheng is here, Let him stay with you for one more day? Can I pick him up tomorrow?"

Grandma clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Look, how good this is."

Father Cheng told Cheng Yan: "Don't make trouble for your grandma."

Cheng Yan said aggrievedly: "It's not that I was ignorant when I was young..."

So only Dad Cheng left in the afternoon, while Cheng Yan stayed.

Before he left, his father ordered a lot of things. Cheng Yan only stayed for one day, and it was not a long-term stay. His father was really worried.

In the afternoon, Cheng Yan accompanied grandma to visit the house. Every family knew that the grandson of the Cheng family had returned. They said that the child was polite and handsome. They were all pure compliments. Everyone was praised for his good looks. , Cheng Yan's self-confidence was almost given enough by the people in the village.

He likes the people in the village very much, and always feels that what they say is not so hypocritical, but sincere.

In the evening, Cheng Yan had dinner and said he wanted to go out for a walk. Grandma let him go. There were many people walking the street at night, and there were people on the road at the entrance of the village. Cheng Yan knew some people, so he greeted them and had dinner. It's a really nice feeling to go for a walk.

The big black dog at home also came, and while Cheng Yan was talking to his aunt, it flirted with the little bitch at her feet. Cheng Yan felt that it was hurtful, so he dragged the dog away.

"If you do this again, I'll tie you up." Cheng Yan pulled the rope, which was set by grandma, saying that it is easy to steal dogs at night, and the dog can't be left alone, so Cheng Yan put it on the rope again, " be honest."

I don't know if it's because Yuanjia's road is narrow, Cheng Yan wandered to a primary school, is there still people in the village's primary school so late?Through the wall, the sound of playing basketball came from inside. Cheng Yan led the dog to the gate and saw someone playing basketball.

Still an acquaintance.

Those during the day.

There was a motorcycle parked at the door, and five or six boys gathered inside to play ball in elementary school at night. Cheng Yan had never seen this world before, so he stood at the door and took a look.

I didn't watch them play ball, but I watched the elementary school built in the village. There were slides, and the house seemed to be newly built. It should have just been painted, and it was not as dilapidated as it was when I was a child.

"Does it look good?"

Suddenly someone spoke, Cheng Yan looked at that person, this person is not someone else, isn't it the Chen Hao who made a big joke when he stalked and wanted to get married?

Cheng Yan led the dog and moved to the side.

Someone spotted Cheng Yan here, and the boys who were playing basketball suddenly yelled, "Yo Yo Yo, look who this is, that handsome guy from the city."

Cheng Yan didn't have a good impression of this group of people, because he was molested by the hooligan whistle at noon?Not only that, the more important thing was that his father said that these people might be some kind of hooligans, and Cheng Yan looked like them, so he didn't speak up.

"Hey, I know you," said a boy holding a basketball, "Aren't you the one who followed Brother Hao every day when you were young? What's your name? Your surname is Chen, right?"

What surname is Chen, his surname is Cheng, but Cheng Yan didn't respond to him, nor did he correct him, and he was about to leave with the dog. This was the first time he behaved impolitely in this village.

The result was good, several people suddenly surrounded him, like a group of bad kids bullying good students, Cheng Yan finally said: "What are you doing?"

The boys looked at each other, their eyes full of jokes, and said, "Look, what are you afraid of? We're not some hooligans, so we just talk to you. Behind you is Brother Hao. I don't know you anymore? Don't say a word to him." ah?"

Standing behind Cheng Yan, Chen Hao let out a low laugh, then waved his hands and said, "Don't embarrass him."

Cheng Yan looked back, it was too unfamiliar, no different from a stranger, no matter how good he was with this person when he was a child, after so many years of not seeing him, it is impossible for him to hit it off and get back the feeling he used to have.

"Brother Hao, you still protect people." The boys laughed and said, "We didn't understand when we were young, but now times have changed, look at this one in front of you, how handsome he is, is it still a matter of engagement?"

I didn't expect this group of people to know, but Cheng Yan wasn't very surprised. Most people in the village knew this joke back then. He thought that after so many years, who still remembers this kind of joke?It was revealed today, so Cheng Yan was ashamed.

He had also fought with others at school, and he was not a submissive master, but he just felt very ashamed about this incident, and he couldn't stand his ground, so he didn't show that madness.

"It happened when I was a child," Cheng Yan said, "Besides, it was just a joke, no one takes it seriously..."

"But I'm serious," Chen Hao's voice suddenly came from behind, Cheng Yan turned his head, the guy who added fuel to the fire said shamelessly: "I have defended you like a jade for so many years, what will you give me in return? Cheng Cheng .”

This old and childhood intimate address is now being dug out, at least on this occasion, not to mention how ambiguous it is, it can’t be a joke, a few boys are laughing, I don’t know it’s because of what Chen Hao said "Keep your body like a jade", I still think this is extremely ridiculous.

Cheng Yan has seen through it, this Chen Hao is not a good person, he was so nice when he was a child, now he is making jokes with this group of people, even if he doesn't explain it, don't talk nonsense... The scene is already very chaotic.

Cheng Yan was about to leave with the dog, and he didn't plan to quarrel with them anymore, and he didn't know whether he was bullying the outsider or just wanted to bully him from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Yan moved one step, they moved three steps, surrounded the people, followed It's like that hooligan flirting with a decent woman.

Cheng Yan lost his temper, and said to the person in front of him, "Get lost."

The man smiled instead of anger: "Yo, are you angry? Why are you so small-minded? You can't even take a joke?"

Cheng Yan raised his eyes and looked coldly at the boy in front of him. His father was right. It had nothing to do with the region. No matter in the city or the country, there are always sluts. The last time he was in junior high because of this kind of verbal dispute, Cheng Yan said: "I think you look like a joke."

"Look, you are indeed from the city, and you don't even swear at people..."

Before the words fell, a light came on, and the headlights illuminated the figures and faces of several people. Cheng Yan and the group of people covered their eyes at the same time. No one noticed when there was a car parked behind them. There was a wave of presence in anger.

A person got out of the car, and he walked towards several boys. Under the headlights, with his back against the night, there was a sense of oppression in the movie, and the picture was very memorable, making people unforgettable.

"Who said that people in the city don't swear?" The tall figure came in front of several people, and the big black dog kept barking, as if smelling the smell of strangers or bad guys, Cheng Yan tugged With the rope in his hand, the tall figure couldn't see his face clearly, and his back blocked part of the light. He came to Cheng Yan, faced the speaker, stretched out his hand, and slid the back of his hand across the profile of the person. Then he suddenly grabbed the man's chin, and said mischievously and threateningly: "If you bark again, I don't mind updating your knowledge now to let you know that people in the city can be so fucking bad. "

Cheng Yan saw his side face clearly, saw his thin lips, thought of the warmth in the corner countless times, thought of the intensity and fieryness when he kissed himself, and the stern face when he treated this group of people, the contrast made him His heart was beating.

"Song Yu?" He called his name, couldn't believe it was him, but how could that voice be unfamiliar to Cheng Yan?It turned out that when he was lucky, Lian Tian was on his side.

It turns out that when you want to think of the ultimate alone, he will really come to you.

The big black dog stopped barking, and a group of people stopped barking, and suddenly even the sound of the wind became clearly audible in front of the primary school gate.

Full of ironic harmony.
