Liu San'er looked down at me. I reached out and picked up a small wooden stick, wrote a word on the ground, and said: "San'er, what is this word?"

Without thinking, he said: "A boat."

After saying that, I was stunned for a moment and looked at me with some confusion. I still smiled, said nothing, and wrote another word: "What about this?"

"Yi."

"Yeah. I like this word very much. It is one of the best qualities in a person."

He nodded, looked at the word for a while, and seemed to still have some hesitation in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

I interrupted him and slowly wrote a few more words. He looked at it and read it out slowly——

"The ice of the abyss is three feet thick, and the plain snow covers thousands of miles. Your heart is like a pine and a cypress, but my heart is no different."

I raised my head and smiled at him.

He looked at me hesitantly: "You wrote this - why?"

"Because, this word Yi and this poem are all like you."

"..."

"Although, I still hope that your life will be like the poem I taught you last time."

He hesitated for a moment, then read softly: "Sad for the light cold and the sharp wind, the apricot blossoms are floating in the snow, and the peach blossoms are red. I am leaning on the swing rope late at night, and the pavilion is hazy in the drizzle..."

"Yes, your memory is really good."

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, glanced at me, and said softly: "Actually, I also like this poem. I think this poem resembles your name."

"...my name?"

"Yeah." He blushed even more as he spoke, avoiding my eyes and said, "I think it's as beautiful as your name. It makes people feel very happy."

"..."

I was suddenly speechless, I only felt a soreness on the tip of my nose.

Happiness...

Happiness.

All I want in my life is this peaceful happiness before me.

But it would be too lonely to fly alone.

If you are a winger, you will not be afraid of death.

And if he wants to fly to a higher place, as a wife and a lover, I should also accompany him to a higher place!

I said softly: "Liu San'er, let me teach you how to read."

The body I was leaning on suddenly stiffened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He turned his head and looked at me in astonishment.

I looked at him with a smile: "Although I'm not very proficient, you - I can still teach you."

He looked at me stupidly, and after a while he said ecstatically: "Qingqing, you - you really agreed!?"

"Hmm."

I said and laughed again: "From now on, don't hide books in firewood piles. If they burn, what will you take and return to others?"

He was embarrassed by what I said and his face turned even redder.

After a while, he reached out and grabbed my hand. Because he was so happy, his hand was shaking all the time, and he couldn't speak clearly: "Light - light, I -"

I smiled, held his hand, patted it gently, and said: "I know that you are motivated, and I also know that you always want to study hard. The reason why I have never taught you is not for other reasons.

But I told you before, sometimes, the more you know, the happier you will be."

Liu San'er said: "I——"

"However, I have figured it out."

"Have you figured it out? What have you figured out?"

"..."

I looked at him, with an undecided expression of joy on his dark face, smiled and shook my head, and gently leaned my head on his shoulder again. The two of them stopped talking and just looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them quietly.

From that day on, every night after dinner and finishing my chores at home, I would sit down at the table and start teaching Liu Saner literature.

He is already in his twenties, and it is actually too late to start learning at this time. But fortunately, he has attended a private school for a few years, so he still has a good foundation. In addition, his talent is not bad, or maybe he has the talent of his father and brother in his blood -

—Liu Shizhou was once a Jinshi of Enke, and Liu Yi was also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Liu Saner had a good memory and was good at learning things. He could draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences from analogies. Even though it was a blank piece of paper, he didn't bother to teach.
p>

The most unbearable thing is the mosquitoes at night.

After autumn, there were a lot fewer mosquitoes, but some were still very poisonous. The bites hurt and itched. He and I often taught and learned. Both of us scratched our heads and felt very sad. In the end, we could only hide on the bed, put down the mosquito net, and click on the mosquito net.

Learning with candles.

Tonight, I asked him to silently read the classical Chinese he had learned before. After he finished silently, I looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I remember when I told you that day, you clearly liked "Xiaoyaoyou" so much. Why?

Can't keep silent? This article "Significance and Severity" is so boring, why are you silent every word?"

He seemed a little confused and said with a smile: "Yes, why?"

I looked at him again and smiled: "Forget it, we won't talk about that today, let's talk about "Yang Huo"."

"This?" He picked up the book and shook it twice: "I remember what my husband said before."

"You said it? Then tell me, what did you say?"

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

……

The room suddenly became quiet. He sat opposite me. Although he didn't speak, his slightly pursed lips clearly had an upward curve, and his crooked eyes were full of teasing light. I suddenly became angry——

"Okay! You still scolded me in a roundabout way."

As he spoke, he picked up the book and rolled it into a roll to beat him.

He laughed and hid: "No."

"You still said no!"

"Sage Confucius said."

"Stop coming!"

The book hit his back with a loud bang. He laughed and hid while I pulled his sleeves reluctantly. The two of them were arguing endlessly on such a small bed. At this moment,

We both sensitively heard the rustling sounds coming from the back room. It seemed that Aunt Liu was awakened by us. As she got out of bed, she muttered: "What are you two doing if you are not sleeping?"

Liu San'er and I were both startled, fearing that she would see us lighting candles on the bed and nag her for a long time. He quickly picked me up in his arms and leaned forward to blow out the candles behind me.

.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming to the door, and Aunt Liu opened the curtain.

I had just had a fight with him, and I was already a little out of breath. Being held in his arms like this, I was inevitably breathing a little, and his breathing was already very heavy. In such a silent night, in the darkness, it seemed

Extraordinarily heavy.

Aunt Liu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then she lowered the curtain with a cry, chanting: "Amitabha, Amitabha." She quickly walked back, and seemed to have hurriedly went to bed again.

Liu Saner and I have always maintained this position of leaning on each other. It was only then that I came back to my senses.

Just now, Aunt Liu must have thought that we——

My face turned red all of a sudden.

I don’t know how long it took, but I raised my head to look at him, and immediately saw those strangely bright eyes in the darkness, as if they were obsidian.

My mind suddenly buzzed and became confused.

In the past, the two of them stayed on this bed for most of the night, looking at the black and white words on the paper, and really didn't think too much, but at this moment, it was like a layer of window paper had been pierced. No matter how the two of them faced each other, they felt completely different.

He and I have been married for a long time.

A normal, adult man will not feel anything at all. Besides, he and I have never consummated our marriage, or even had any closer contact. It is impossible for a young and vigorous man like him to not feel anything at all. Sometimes.

In the middle of the night, I would hear him gently going out to take a shower in the stone shed.

However, my body does not allow us to think about it...

His eyes slowly looked at my protruding belly. The next moment, he lifted up the mosquito net, got out of bed with a cry, and said hurriedly: "You--you have a good rest."
p>

After saying that, he had already walked to the door and opened the wooden door with a clang. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind rushed in from outside the door, blowing the bed curtains. I sat on the bed a little stiffly, looking at the cold outside the door.

The moonlight shone on the familiar silhouette at the door. His broad shoulders could clearly carry a huge burden, but he was trembling slightly at this moment. He only paused for a moment, but did not look back, but walked out quickly.
p>

After a while, I heard the sound of rushing water coming from the stone shed.

I sat quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of water in the distance. The temperature of the surrounding air had dropped suddenly, and it was a bit cold. I looked at the dark night outside the door. I didn't know why, but I felt a little empty in my heart.

|

After that night, Liu Saner and I saw each other again. Although there was no embarrassment, there was an indescribable feeling.

He still works carelessly, still smiles cheerfully, and when he studies literature with me, he is still serious. But sometimes, I can see something in his eyes. In the past, I was imprisoned in my heart, but once it is broken

Another small hole will grow out of control.

But I——

I looked down at my belly. The high bulge had blocked my view, and I couldn't even see my feet.

Even if everything in the past is forgotten, I still know what a woman should and shouldn’t do at this time. Besides, I can treat some things as dreams, but some hurts are still in my heart.

I looked at my belly and could only sigh.

At this time, Aunt Liu asked: "What's wrong with Qingqing? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I suddenly came back to my senses and hurriedly smiled and said: "No."

"Are you too busy at home recently and are you tired?" She said, while pointing outside and cursing: "It's true for San'er, he's done all the work in the fields, and he's still running out all day long without even leaving home!

”

I smiled and said: "Mom, he is doing carpentry work for others now. He often goes to town."

"Then you can't stay home forever. You are the only one in this house."

"It's okay, I'm just free when I'm free."

After harvesting the grain from the fields, Liu San'er went to the carpenter's shop in the town to take over work. That kind of wages came faster. After all, it was winter and he had to buy new clothes and quilts, which would keep him busy for a while.

, sometimes I can’t go home for a day or two.

In the afternoon, I had nothing to do. It happened that a family in the next village asked me to help write an obituary, so I was immersed in writing in the yard. As I wrote, I heard a voice from outside laughing: "Hey, sister-in-law.

I’m writing again.”

When I looked up, it was Gou Er lying at the door of the courtyard looking at me with a smile.

I don't have a good impression of this person, but after all, he is from the same village, and I have to let Liu San'er deal with it in terms of face, so I smiled lightly: "Second Brother Gou."

"Are you home alone?"

"My mother and aunt are both here."

"Oh, where is San'er?"

I frowned slightly and suddenly remembered the time when he took Liu Saner to a brothel. I felt slightly unhappy and said lightly: "Let's go to work."

"Working? What kind of work are you so busy?"

"Work in the town's carpenter's shop."

"Oh, the carpenter's shop in the town." Gou Er said with a smile: "Is it the carpenter's shop very close to Pinxiangyuan?"

When I heard this, I immediately frowned.

The Xiangyuan he was talking about was the newly opened brothel in the town.

In this rural town, everyone has to live on food and clothing, and no one has the spare money to go to a brothel. But since the opening of Enke in Yangzhou, scholars from the three southern provinces have come here. When scholars gather together, it is inevitable that they will have some romantic affairs.

, I don’t know where a boss came from, he saw the opportunity and opened a brothel here.
