Aim at That Star

Lao Fanghong and Lin Maizi quarreled and fought, and accidentally injured the hand of Lin Suizi, an innocent person next to him. This matter, Mrs. Lin knew.

Ran Fu educated youth happened to pass by, helped Lin Suizi look at the injury, and smeared ointment—of course, Mrs. Lin also knew about this.

After all, when Lao Fanghong recounted what happened, Lin Suizi was listening by the side.

Although it is possible to avoid the important and obscure the key points, it is also not allowed to lie and lie.

But maybe it was because the ointment Jiang Shi brought was too thick, and when it was applied to Lin Suizi's hands, it could cover the scald tightly, and the original shocking and terrifying appearance could not be seen at all.

In addition, Lao Fanghong's very skillful avoidance and cooperated with Lin Maizi, a man who had lived a lifetime.

At most, the angry daughter-in-law is a troublemaker, and she also recruited Ran Fu from the educated youth side, which is simply humiliating and thrown out of the house.

But no matter what, Lao Fanghong was pregnant with a big belly, and Lin Maizi fainted in the field because of heatstroke in the afternoon. It was hard to say some serious things, and it was impossible to beat them or not let them eat when they were hungry.

Children in the countryside go up and down the mountains and fields all day long, and they can't get through without getting hurt. Since Lin Suizi himself was bored by the side and didn't say anything, Mrs. Lin naturally wouldn't take this little scald seriously, and comforted a few words. , and this dispute is over.

— Of course, this is all based on the fact that things are not so serious.

The scene was completely different when the cultural man from the capital, the effective deputy of the brigade secretary, the industrious, upright and mild-tempered young man, the famous Jiang Zhiqing in the village, brought ointment to the door and said that he wanted to "treat the wound" for Lin Suizi. .

At the very least, Lin Suizi was keenly aware that after Jiang Shi said that sentence in surprise, his grandmother had already clenched the spatula in her hand, and her whole person showed a state of anger and ready to beat someone at any time. .

Although it seems that she is distressed and angry for her.

But Lin Suizi clearly understood that, compared to the fact that she was "severely injured", what really angered her should be the fact that she was "ashamed and thrown out of the house".

Jiang Shi, Jiang Zhiqing, a kind and peaceful and warm-hearted Jiang Zhiqing, did not know whether it was intentional or not, but in just a few words, he accurately hit the acupuncture point of Ama.

Lin Suizi held the broom and looked up at him.

There was a bit of confusion in her eyes, hidden behind her ignorant expression and innocent eyes, it was a cold scrutiny without the slightest emotion.

The man noticed her gaze, raised his lips, and gave her a warm smile.

His face was still handsome, his eyebrows were curved, he handed her the ointment in his hand, and his fingertips touched his wrist, which was as warm as his smile.

It seems that it can penetrate into the bone marrow along her scald, melting away the vigilance and indifference she hides under the mask.

How cunning.

so smart.

......

Because he was kindly invited by Mrs. Lin, Jiang Zhiqing couldn't refuse, and in the end he really stayed at Lin's house for dinner.

Of course, he didn't eat and drink for free. Apart from the package of sugar secretly stuffed into Lin Suizi, Jiang Shi also went to the next house to "exchange" a chicken, so he thought he was eating at Lin's house and thanked them for the extra meal.

At the dinner table, Jiang Zhiqing was inevitably asked about the "poker battle" he witnessed outside the courtyard this afternoon.

"Little Jiang Zhiqing, don't be afraid, tell your grandma honestly and say whatever you want."

Jiang Shi lowered his eyes slightly, his voice was soft, and he looked innocent and embarrassed: "Grandma Lin, I am clumsy and not good at words. If I say something, it is easy to misphrase it. Once you make a mistake, it will be bad if you misunderstand someone. ."

In a short sentence, he used four idioms.

It is still a very non-standard dialect, and everyone at the dinner table can't understand it.

- After all, someone like Lin Suizi is a little bit literate, because she is a girl, she is not allowed to eat at the table.

She didn't want to take a job to eat in the yard or sit on the small bench next to her. She always felt ashamed in front of Jiang Shi, so she simply sat at the door of the kitchen and listened to the conversation while watching the sunset.

No matter how fragrant the chicken is, he insists that he is not hungry.

Lin Maizi was eating with a rice bowl next to her, because the whole chicken was burnt, and she was rarely given two pieces of chicken.

As she chewed, she spat the bones to the ground with a "poof".

The bone went out all the way, and the old yellow dog in the yard immediately ran over barking and put the chicken bone in its mouth.

Lin Suizi frowned and reminded her in a low voice, "Can't you wait until you've finished eating before throwing out the bones in the bowl?"

Lin Maizi glanced at her: "Why should I throw out the bones after eating? It's not like the dog won't come to eat it if it vomits in the yard."

"...but it's unsightly, kind of ugly."

"I'm just a village girl, what do I need to be so elegant?"

Lin Maizi was half-smiling but not laughing, "Can't we become high-level urbanites like Jiang Zhiqing and the others if we don't spit out our bones?"

"...I didn't say I wanted you to become a city man, I just said it wasn't good looking."

"I'm not good-looking."

Lin Maizi continued to spit out his bones, accompanied by a sound of "Bah", and he didn't know whether he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, or simply expressing his heart, "What kind of person I am, I will live as I am. Anyway, I can't learn what's behind those superficial tricks. A set of practices, hypocrisy to death, really turned into that, only to respond to people."

"......"

All right.

Lin Suizi stopped talking, looked away, didn't argue with her, and didn't look at her anymore.

Listen quietly to the people in the house.

Why do people quarrel with others?

One is for pleasure.

The second is to achieve the goal.

If you quarrel with Lin Maizi over such trivial matters, you won't feel happy if you win, and you won't change your outlook on life if you lose.

No matter whether you win or lose, you have not achieved any purpose and gained any benefits.

Therefore, Lin Suizi chose to give up on such a thing.

From Lin Maizi's point of view, Lin Suizi was speechless and secretly angry, and now he must be so uncomfortable that he will die.

But Lin Suizi is a delicate egoist, she doesn't argue, she just saves time and saliva, and she doesn't feel any turbulence at all.

To be honest, the cousins ​​Lin Suizi and Lin Maizi have completely different views on how to deal with things. Even without Xu Weidong, even without any conflict of interests and disputes, it is impossible for them to be so close and close sisters.

Lin Suizi understood this very early on.

But sadly, Lin Maizi lived again and still didn't understand.

Their communication is never on the same line, not even on the same plane, like people in two worlds and two spaces.

For example, Jiang Shi and the Lin family in the house—

Inside the house, Mrs. Lin gave Jiang Shi a piece of chicken and expressed her authority strongly, "Don't worry, Xiaojiang educated youth, say whatever you want, don't be afraid! With Grandma Lin around, no one dares to do anything to you! "

- This is also Jiang Shi's biggest confusion to the Lin family.

He had always felt that "ugly things" like infighting in the family should be resolved internally behind closed doors.

No matter how fierce the troubles in your own house, when facing outsiders, you should always try your best to appear harmonious and united, so as not to let outsiders see the jokes.

But the amazing thing is that on the one hand, Mrs. Lin felt that it was embarrassing for her eldest daughter-in-law to make trouble in front of Xiaojiang educated youth, and on the other hand, she persevered and dragged him into this dispute, wishing to make the trouble bigger in front of him. just fine.

amazing.

...but anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

For a bystander like Jiang Shi who doesn't think it's a big deal, the bigger the noise, the more interesting it will be.

So the clumsy Jiang Zhiqing said something very honestly: "It's like this, Comrade Lin Suizi left the lunch box at the warehouse this afternoon, and Ran Fu Zhiqing and I delivered it to her on the way and walked to the intersection. I happened to see Aunt Lin and Comrade Lin Maizi arguing. Both I and Ran Fu were afraid of disturbing them, so we stood at the intersection for a while, thinking about waiting for them to finish talking before sending them over. He came out with a burning stick and threw it at Comrade Lin Suizi's face..."

"Xiaojiang educated youth, you can't slander people with such empty words!"

Lao Fanghong, who was burning the fire behind the stove, finally couldn't listen anymore, and stood up abruptly, "Why would I throw a burning stick in that girl's face, Lin Maizi, if it wasn't for this dead girl Lin Maizi's mouth full of feces, as for me? Are you still yelling and yelling with a big belly! I just throw it away, it's that dead girl Lin Maizi who has to hide next to Suizi..."

"Oh."

Jiang Shi nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Lin was also in a hurry. If she was in a hurry, she came out with a burning stick and threw it at Comrade Lin Maizi. In fact, there was no malicious intent. It was just that Comrade Lin Maizi was hiding by mistake. The direction, this is the accidental injury to Lin Suizi..."

"Why did I hide in the wrong direction?"

Before Jiang Shi finished speaking, Lin Maizi, who was sitting on the doorstep, couldn't help it at all. He ran in and threw his chopsticks, and said angrily, "Is it my fault that she threw the tongs at me? Shit, ah, Jiang Zhiqing, didn't you hear what she was saying? What kind of money-losing goods, what kind of **** stuff, even holding a fire stick and saying that she was going to kill me, which auntie? Is this how you treat your niece? Lao Fanghong is the only person in the world! Jiang Zhiqing, you have to speak with your conscience!"

"Yoah, you still know that I'm your auntie!"

Before Jiang Shi could speak, Lao Fanghong directly scolded her head and face with the same loud voice, "I said that I called you a loser, but you pee and see what you look like! Why don't you smell yourself? How stinky your mouth is! Ah? You are so majestic, standing on the steps pretending to be a master of the sky, cursing the doll in the mother's belly, God, how can there be such a bad-hearted girl in this world? The scolding dog was drenched in blood and poured dirty water on the old lady..."

......

No one expected this scene.

It is not that the two sides were not expected to be unconvinced.

It was simply because no one thought that Lin Maizi's temper would suddenly become so hot, and he dared to scold Lao Fanghong loudly in front of his elders and outsiders.

It was so lively that you came and I went, and even Mrs. Lin was stunned.

Jiang Shi sighed and shrugged helplessly and innocently at her: "Sorry, Grandma Lin, it's all my fault that I can't speak and my tongue is clumsy. In fact, maybe Aunt Lin and Comrade Lin Maizi didn't mean it, they just quarreled. Head, out of control for a while..."

"Ugh."

He sighed again, his tone extremely guilty, "It's all my fault."

The man stood up and said, "Grandma Lin, you're almost done eating, so I won't disturb you. It just so happens that the educated youth classes are going to start at night, so I have to go back."

"Hey Xiaojiang educated youth, you can stay and eat some more... Forget it, Suizi, hurry up and send Xiaojiang educated youth."
