Xiaolan was a medium-sized woman with a round face and two shallow dimples on either side of her mouth. The girls in the production team all had two long braids, and after watching "The Tale of the Red Lantern", some people followed Li Tiemei's example, combining the two braids into a thick and long single braid, tying a red headband on the end of the head, and shrugging their shoulders, the braids were thrown to their chests, which was very elegant. Xiaolan is not like this, she has short hair, and loves to pick up a big lock on the left side of her hair and tie it up with glass wire. Hair often pinned a flower, either red, yellow, or purple blue, are the flowers in front of the house, these small flowers pinned in her hair, good-looking. When she looks at people and things, she often squints her two big eyes and slightly inclines her head, as if she is thinking about something.
Few rural girls are literate, and only the boys go to school when they have the means to do so, and the girls have to go out when they grow up, so what's the point of being literate? Xiaolan is literate, Xiaolan's words are her brother with school to learn, brother language textbooks on the words, she can read. Xiaolan's mother was the captain of the production team and her father was an ordinary member of the community. Her mom and dad have never quarreled, nor have they seen Xiaolan quarreling with others.
Xiaolan often went with a group of girls. When the girls are together, they don't play tricks on others, and they don't say ugly things. When the girls are together, you can always hear the giggles coming out of their midst. The girls are doing farm work together, will be in the secret competition, Xiaolan neither in the front, nor pull in the back.
In the summer, under the moonlight, there are only piles of wheat and grass and willow trees by the river, and you can't see young people holding hands like in the movies. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. The spacious field is a good place for young people to show their talents. A bamboo flute, a harmonica, "Shandandandan Blossoms Red", "Honghu Lake Water Waves Beat Waves", a lot of songs, these songs hooked the children, but also hooked the girls. Xiaolan often went to the head of the field with her favorite girls to listen to songs they had never heard before. She always encouraged the little children who were watching to sing, but never heard her sing.
During the daytime in the rice planting field, Xiaolan's voice can be bright. As long as someone started, planting rice-planting horn in her mouth in a wave of twists and turns after the sound curls, singing, others have stopped, only to hear her sing alone, she suddenly realized what, stopped, looked around, and did not sing.
One afternoon, a rainstorm, the girls in the rice paddies were caught off guard, all of a sudden all wet. The men and women are fine, but the girls are in a bit of trouble. Through the rain-soaked coat, the dark red skin color flashed the eyes of the next person, Xiaolan is also among them. I suddenly saw two dark brown patches on her chest under her short, translucent shirt, and I hurriedly lowered my eyes. They climbed up the ridge with their arms folded over their chests and walked to the river to do what they had to do under the trees and under the riverbank.
One evening after the close of business, I went to the river dock. The day has been cool, in order to reduce the trouble, I like to wash the day's fatigue on the pier painfully. The first thing I did was to get to a place where I could see that the people I was working with were not in the same place as I was working with.
She washed her arms and said to me, "Lend me some of the foreign soda. I handed her the soap box, she took a towel to wet her hair and began to wash her hair. I was not able to rush her to ask for the soap, so I waited for her to take her time to freshen up. Under the setting sun, the water of the river was reflected in the refracting waves, and her plump body full of youthful vigor was covered in the golden afterglow. The first time I got so close to Lan, my heart jumped all of a sudden. I didn't dare to move, like I was frozen, I didn't dare to move anything, however, my hands had an inexplicable urge to do something. Suddenly, I remembered my mom's words, if you can't go back to the city, bring a country girl home. I asked myself in my heart, she, are you willing?
Oceanine return you, really fragrant. Xiaolan broke my thoughts. I took the soap box and fled back.
Winter leisure, the brigade organized a literacy class, in the small school evening classes, come are small daughter-in-law big girl. The teacher was me, and there was a young man from the same team, Jia Gui, who was a bit younger than me. Xiaolan also came. Xiaolan could read, but she couldn't write. She didn't know how to write, and she came, saying she wanted to learn how to write. She always came early, always sat at the front, and always watched and listened attentively. Other people would only read and not write, but she always showed me her little notebook full of writing and asked how it was. I said it was very well written, and she laughed, laughed so happily ......
Xiaolan's house was in the westernmost part of the village, close to the corner of a small road, and Xiaolan's room was in the westernmost part of the village. One night, someone carried a small bucket of water to wet the earth-based wall and used a shovel and spade to dig a hole under the wall outside. There were only one or two houses halfway down the path, which ended at the big river, and at night there were very few people passing by. Just when the hole to be dug through, there was actually someone found, a loud shout, digging hole people fled ......
The case did not solve go on, digging holes in the daredevil who is it? Who knew that Ran's room was in the far west? All this, Ran did not want to know.
I really did the teacher, left the production team, above this matter, is the village later told me.
Xiaolan got married and left the old home where she was born and raised ......
And how many years have passed.
At a meeting a few years ago, I happened to meet Xiaolan's brother who worked in the town government. Her brother told me that Xiaolan is gone, because of an illness ......
good regret! Why did I pry into Xiaolan's news?
And now, framed in my mind Xiaolan, always the pair of shallow dimples.
Why did I pry into Ran?
