Return To 1977 Chapter 280: The big sister next door
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
The law-abiding people are depressed every day, but the strong beams sing joyfully every night. Riding a mule to benefit oneself at the expense of others, being upright and fair and starving. Building bridges and roads is blind, but killing people and setting fires are common. If you go to the West and ask the Buddha, the Buddha will only say: I have no idea!
Yes, things in the world are like this. There is no word "fair" at all. Good people may not be rewarded with good things, and bad people may not be rewarded with bad things.
The above words are actually the words Hong Yanwu used to make fun of good people in the past. This is also where his confidence lies in committing evil without fear.
It's just that he would never have imagined that one day he would be such a good person. And I also tasted the same feeling of being ridiculed and made fun of.
It was only then that he experienced how uncomfortable it felt for those people who he had regarded as fools in the past to face the fact that their kindness was not reciprocated, or even faced with criticism.
What's more, there is a ready-made example right in front of him. Isn't Shui Qing more wronged than him?
But having said that, he felt aggrieved, but he did not regret it. Because even if he knew it would end up like this at the beginning, he would still act like a fool knowingly.
But this does not mean that his moral standards suddenly reached a high level, nor does it mean that he suddenly understood the truth that "doing good deeds is a matter of self-satisfaction without asking for anything in return." Not to mention that he really had any thoughts about Shui Lan, the second daughter of the Shui family, as rumored.
In fact, he is neither very good nor very bad. He just wants to repay Shui Qing's debt of kindness with the idea of "repaying kindness with kindness".
Speaking of Shui Qing, she and Hong Yanwu's second brother Hong Yanwen are both junior high school graduates from the 1969 class. They are six years older than Hong Yanwu and are already twenty-four this year.
In Hong Yanwu's memory, this neighbor's eldest sister was a person praised by everyone in Fu Ru. Although she is Shui Lan's biological sister, her popularity is far from that of Shui Lan, the mean and disrespectful yellow-haired girl.
Shui Qing always has a smile on his face, is steady, kind, and has a good temper like noodles. His biggest characteristic is his kindness.
Not to mention that he has done a lot of things to support the elderly and the young. Even if he has a family background that is problematic, no one cares for him and he will not be disciplined, and he can be called a dog that cannot be seen, he will still give his sincerity. , giving a piece of warmth.
In that era, such warm-heartedness that could treat anyone sincerely was rare, and that was also the special time when Hong Yanwu lacked the most care.
So he had to look back on those past events, and he still felt a little warm in his heart even now. To use a sour word, this is called ripples of gratitude.
As for what exactly it is? Here we only talk about the two things that Hong Yanwu remembers the most.
The first thing happened in the summer when Hong Yanwu was six years old.
At that time, Chen Liquan had not yet moved here.
In order to catch an injured pigeon that could not fly, Hong Yanwu chased it from his house through the "crossing building" to the west courtyard. In the end, the pigeon was caught on the Shui family's house.
But just when he was so proud, holding the pigeon in his hand, and jumped from the Shui family's house to the wall, the tiles under his feet became loose, and he slipped and fell down with a "clunk".
It happened that there was a large fish tank made of clay pots under the eaves of Shui's house, and Hong Yanwu's body happened to fall into the fish tank.
With a bang, the fish tank shattered and the pigeons ran away. Hong Yan's martial spirit was shattered and he fell badly, but he was lucky enough to save his life.
"Who is it? This is it!"
Twelve-year-old Shui Qingke was cleaning the windows in the house when he saw this scene. He was also shocked and ran out of the house shouting.
Hong Yanwu was dizzy, but he knew he was in trouble and had been caught. He instinctively wanted to get up and run. But as soon as he exerted his strength, he said "Ouch" and fell back to the ground, unable to move at all.
"Hey, it's you naughty kid! Why did you fall from our house..."
Of course Shui Qing knew Hong Yanwu, and he also knew that he was famous for teasing cats and dogs, and for running around. Seeing him fall so hard that he couldn't move, and his arms and legs were covered in blood, it was both annoying and ridiculous.
I originally wanted to say a few words, but it turned out that his fall was not a good one, so I felt pity for him. He quickly stepped forward to help him up, carried him into the room, and applied medicine to stop the bleeding.
Shui Qing seems to be born to take care of people. When doing this kind of thing, he is very meticulous and considerate, and meticulously bandages Hong Yanwu's injuries.
Hong Yanwu felt awkward at first, rubbing his **** and grinning unnaturally, but when he glanced at Shui Qing's kind and calm face, he only expressed concern but no blame.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of dependence. It seemed that the wound no longer hurt, and he felt quite comfortable. He was secretly looking forward to the tender moment in front of him as long as possible, and became as honest as the little yellow cat lying on his bedside.
Sui Qing naturally didn't understand Hong Yanwu's feelings. When the bandage was finished, she saw Hong Yanwu's strange expression, and she couldn't help laughing, patted his head and asked.
"You must be scared yourself! How are you? Are your arms and legs uncomfortable? Can you stand up now?"
Hong Yanwu naturally wanted to act like a hero and his tone was very tough. "Who's scared? I...I'm fine."
"Is it okay to fall from such a high building? Are you trying to show off in front of me?"
Hong Yanwu didn't believe it when he saw Shui Qing, he sat up from the chair and said with a puff of chest. "It's really okay, Sister Shui Qing, just look at it if you don't believe me!"
He even jumped on the spot deliberately, but he didn't know that his hip axis was dislocated. The pain made him groan and he lay on the ground again and couldn't get up.
Shui Qing saw Hong Yanwu paralyzed on the ground and knew that he was really injured. In a hurry, he quickly carried him on his back to the barber shop to find his father, Shui Gengsheng.
She didn't go to complain, nor did she panic and go to the adults for advice. It’s because the barbers in Beijing’s past could not only shave heads, cut hair, and shave faces, but also massage and set bones.
For example, in the early years, there was no specialized orthopedics hospital in the capital. People who had injuries or injuries had to go to a barber.
So Shui Gengsheng was right to treat this. After seeing Hong Yanwu, he straightened his waist without any trouble. The kid was told to run and jump on the spot without any side effects.
In addition, what Hong Yanwu didn't expect was that when Shui Qing carried him to treat his injuries, he didn't mention a word about the reason for his fall. He didn't even ask him to compensate for the smashed fish tank, calling him his fault. My son is totally tolerant.
All of this made Hong Yanwu feel more grateful the more he thought about it. For the first time, he developed a good impression of the opposite **** besides his mother and sister.
In his hazy consciousness, he began to imagine that Shui Qing had become his biological sister. Every minute and second he spent under her care that day, every step he took while lying on her back, were deeply implanted in his memory. It made him feel both unspeakable and unforgettable.
Since then, he has never been on the roof of Shui's house. At that time, he didn't understand that this was called "repaying a favor". He just instinctively didn't want to step on the roof tiles of Shui's house and didn't want to see Shui Qing. Angry and anxious.
But on the other hand, when Shui Qing was out of school, he always liked to wait at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting to take a look at her from a distance...
