Chapter 10 First Visit to Uncle Tianming's Residence

The senior high school entrance examination was coming soon, and I was admitted to the key class of the county No. [-] middle school without any suspense. The school posted the list of classes at the school gate.I am in class thirteen.

Soon my dad helped me rent a small house in the county town, so I could cook for myself in the future, and in the county town, I could go to the bookstore to read books at any time.Unlike before, if you want to read a book, you can't afford it.

And when I arrived at the county seat, I had to go to the elder sister's place first. The elder sister was in the county seat. I hadn't been to her place yet. My father said she was on Shuichi Street.

When I arrived at Sink Street, I saw my eldest sister at a billiard table. I walked over, and my eldest sister told me to sit down in the back room. There was an old lady in a wheelchair in the back room. She seemed to be the person my dad said my sister was taking care of. up.

The eldest sister glanced at the old lady and said to me, this is your "auntie".I called out, and the old lady gave me a look and agreed.Continue to watch her TV.

I feel that the old lady's attitude is not very friendly, so I don't care about him, and talk to him directly, saying: "Auntie, is it okay for my sister to be here?".The old lady reconciled a little and said: "Your sister is here, and she doesn't say ten words a day, she is too introverted."

"Oh, maybe it's the first time I've come out to work. I heard from my dad that my cousin introduced a partner to her. Do you know how they talked?"

The old lady stopped watching TV, looked at me, said with a smile on her face, "We haven't met yet, we talked on the phone, and sometimes wrote letters."

I chatted with the old lady in the house for a while, and then I came out. Not far away, I saw a Xinhua Bookstore. No matter where I go, the bookstore is my favorite place to go.I went in and read a lot of books that I hadn't read before. I didn't have money to buy them before, but now I can go to this bookstore to read them every day.

I fell in love with a copy of "Biography of Celebrities", read more than a dozen pages, and put it back. I knew that the price of that book could cover my living expenses for a week.When I walked to the door, a voice stopped me, "A dozen yuan in the countryside is really a lot of money, take it away, and I will pay you the money."

I turned around and saw that it was Uncle Tianming. I thought, how can I run into him wherever I go?He said, "I didn't want to buy that book."

"I'll give it to you, okay?" I don't like to ask for other people's things, but I've already got too many things from him, but I can never get what I really want, I thought to myself , in my heart, you have long been a part of my heart.

"What are you thinking about?" He said while handing the book to the waiter to scan.Put the stamp on it.The words of thanks are too vulgar, and I don't know what words to use.I was speechless for a moment.

"You don't need to have any psychological pressure, go, go to my house, and do it for a while, okay?"

"your home?"

"Yeah, my house, what's the matter?"

I thought in my heart that he was from the city, so the distance between us was so far away, but I really wanted to go, so I asked, "Is it far?".

"It's not far, just two steps away."

So I walked with him, looking at his thick back and high buttocks, I really wanted to go up and lie on his back to feel the warmth and smell his scent. "Is there anyone in your family?".

"No, it's just me, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, if there are people in your family, I won't go."

"What's the matter, will people in my family eat people? Even if there are people in my family, what are you afraid of if they are born and cooked the second time?"

"Anyway, if I don't go, I won't go."

"What's the matter? Ugly daughter-in-law, are you afraid of seeing your in-laws?" After hearing this, my face suddenly became hot. How could this guy say such a thing.

"What is this called?"

"Let's go quickly, my face is red. It's red, like a big girl", he stretched out his hand to support my face, and felt his palm was sweating again, it was very rosy, and there was no callus at all. No.I don't know how my heart jumped into my throat.Is he seducing me?

Then he continued to walk, "Well, Uncle Tianming, why didn't you ask me if I passed the exam?"

"It's written in big characters, with your name, why do I still need to ask?"

"You are not lazy, you did well in the exam"

We walked through a lively street market, and then entered a long, narrow residential street.It started to go uphill.The further you go up the slope, the quieter it gets.Uncle Tianming said that this used to be a library, but then, for some reason, someone died, and the place became crowded and deserted.Many people dare not walk through here at night.

I think the house is indeed very grand, but it is very quiet inside. The building has four floors, and the outside of the big yard is covered with weeds. I heard that there are still a few people inside.Uncle Tianming and I walked past this quiet small building, passed a vegetable garden, and arrived at a residential building surrounded by a large wall. Uncle Tianming took out the key and opened the door, and he could see a long and narrow concrete path in the middle of the yard. On both sides are green tomatoes and peppers.

Follow the concrete road to the end, and you will enter the hall of Uncle Tianming's house.Entering the hall of Uncle Tianming's house, Uncle Tianming was wearing leather shoes, so he took off his leather shoes.Put on clean slippers.Then he found a pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet and asked me to put them on.I said I had smelly feet and didn't want to take off my shoes, so he found me two black plastic bags.Put it on your feet.

In the center of the hall is a glass table.Topped with apple bananas.Uncle Tianming told me to eat whatever I wanted.The floor was shiny clean.There are seven or eight shelves of incandescent lamps hanging above the center of the hall.

I just found a sofa and sat down, actually it made me feel uncomfortable in such an environment.I thought that Uncle Tianming said he was not familiar with me, and he happened to meet many times and said he was familiar with him. In fact, I didn’t know much about him, and most of the time, I was afraid to know him, and I wanted to know him very much. I am afraid to know him because I am afraid to know that he and I are people from two worlds. I want to know him because I really want to be with him every moment.

Over the past few days, we have been meeting each other and getting acquainted with each other constantly.I don't know why I think about him all the time, what he's doing, how he looks, everything about him.And I really don't know what kind of position I am in his mind, a child?Is it a friend, or, he will miss me like I miss him.

Of course it can only be guesswork.I peeled a banana on the table casually and said, "Are you the only one living in such a big house?".

"Of course not."While talking, Uncle Tianming went to his bedroom, took out some clothes and trousers, and said, "These are the ones I wore before, but now I'm fat and I can't wear them. If you don't mind, just use them to make do with them." Also don't buy it."

I looked through the clothes and trousers, they were all washed and they looked like new. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tianming used to be skinny.

"I'll watch the football game for a while, and if you're sleepy, you can sleep on me for a while. If you want to take a shower or the bathroom, you should feel like you're at home here. Don't be restrained, and no one will come to my place today."

And when I was in junior high school, I never took a nap, and I didn't feel sleepy at all, but he might have the habit of taking a nap every day.

After speaking, Uncle Tianming went into the house and took out a blanket, and handed it to me to cover it when I slept.It was also raining outside, clattering, and Uncle Tianming's football game commentary and cheers were heard inside the house.

I lay on the sofa, resting my head on Uncle Tianming's lap, and buried my head in his waist.The breath and warmth coming from him is really intoxicating.

I deliberately closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, but in fact I didn't feel sleepy at all. After a while, Uncle Tianming also pulled a blanket to cover his chest, and after a while, I heard Uncle Tianming snore slightly.

I listened to his voice motionless, the time with him, hoping that time would stop at this moment.After a while, my hands became numb, and I moved slightly. Uncle Tianming fell asleep sitting up. He felt that he was not sleeping well, so he took off his shoes, and put down the back of the sofa with his fat body. Then, with a word, leaned up a little.I leaned up in the direction of his hand, just leaning on his arm, with my head buried in his chest.

His beard pierced my forehead, and I felt a slight pain. After a while, his snoring started again.I don't know if all fat people sleep well.It is really rare to be able to fall asleep like this.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the rain outside has lightened. Uncle Tianming sniffed his nose, and I moved too. He got up and asked me, "What time is it?".

I looked up at the big clock hanging in front of the door, it was twelve forty. "Well, I slept really well, did I snore while I was sleeping?".

"Hit it, it's not too loud."

"Oh, I can't lift my hand, it's pressed by you, look."I went over and rubbed it.

"When you were at home, what did your parents call you? Didn't they just call you Qingxing?"

"No, sometimes it's called Xing'er, sometimes it's called Qing Xing when you scold me, and it's also called Qing Xing when you call me from a distance."

"Then I call you Xing'er, you don't mind."

"It's ok, what do you mind? It's just that you're not married yet, so calling someone else Xing'er would be a little bit, that?"

"Yo, which one is there? I'm a little older than you, so it's not appropriate for me to call you brother."

"You can do whatever you want."

"Hey, by the way, you boy, how do you know that I'm not married? Are you asking about my affairs? Are you interested in me?"

This guy, why does he speak so clearly every time. "not interested".

"Well, if you say you're interested, it's really nothing. If you say you're not interested, isn't the situation more obvious? Huh?" Then he stretched out his hand and pinched my face.

This dead ghost always likes to expose other people's thoughts, but seeing him is quite tolerant, and he feels relieved a lot.

"In a while, go out to eat with me. I haven't invited you to eat yet. You and your sister can eat the rest of the ones we ate at your house last time."

"How do you know?"

"Don't forget, I am also from a poor family. After a while, we will eat beef noodles. You will not be too tired after class these two days, and don't worry. You don't need to buy any reference books, and the school will distribute them. Yes, I will help you find what you need. Also, I have bought these bananas and apples for a long time, and I can’t eat much by myself. I just put the fragrance in the house and sleep well. If you don’t mind, take them. In the past, eat it, I will buy a new one to put."

Uncle Tianming and I were walking on the road, the elder sister patted me from behind and said, "Did you hear me after calling you for a long time?"
