062: Listen to Brother Jia's stories from the past
There is no other way. If I don’t tell the story, I will be charged with this crime. It is better to tell the story.
If I tell it, at least I will be justified for the accusation and it will not be unfair.
Jia Song took a puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot. During this time, he organized his words and then began to speak:
"This is actually a Romeo and Juliet story. Do you know Romeo and Juliet?"
——Wow, Brother Jia is really knowledgeable. He even uses literary classics to tell a story.
Yu Xiaoye nodded, not quite understanding.
"I think I heard about it from the educated youth who went to the countryside in my hometown."
"That'll do—"
Jia Song applied the story of the young man and woman that happened here to Romeo and Juliet.
It is said that Romeo and Juliet love each other, but their parents are sworn enemies and will never allow them to be together.
Then, Juliet became pregnant with Romeo's child. As a result, her mother locked her up at home and refused to let her out, so the two of them never met again.
Romeo couldn't see Juliet and fell in love with her. Perhaps his brain was stimulated and he suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he went or whether he was alive or dead. In short, he was missing forever.
Later, Juliet gave birth to a child and was so depressed that she hanged herself.
The place where Juliet lived back then was the deserted courtyard where the Yu family lives now, and she died in the room on the east side.
Jia Song deliberately deleted all the horror and inappropriate content for children, so the whole story is dry and not attractive at all, not even as good as a bedtime story written by an old lady.
But Yu Xiaoye still pretended to listen with great interest.
After hearing the final words, and learning that Juliet had hanged herself in the house after giving birth, Yu Xiaoye asked eagerly:
"Brother Jia, are you making up this story to fool me? Is this true?"
Jia Song raised his hand and swore to the sky:
"I'm not kidding you, it's true. Everyone in our company knows it."
Yu Xiaoye blinked:
"I still don't believe it—"
Jia Song felt that he was being questioned, and he was very unhappy:
"If you don't believe me, go out and ask."
Yu Xiaoye deliberately said:
"Anyway, both families are gone, there's no evidence, so you can just make up stories."
Jia Song said casually:
"No, Juliet's family has moved away, but Romeo's family hasn't moved away. They're still living in our company."
"Ah," Yu Xiaoye finally asked the key point, suppressing his inner excitement, "--I still don't believe it!"
"Girl, why don't you listen? Let me tell you, Romeo's father is Lao Wu, the Lao Wu who went to your house to persuade you yesterday."
!!!
Holy crap, the case is solved. Turns out my suspicion was right!
She became suspicious yesterday, suspecting that Lao Wu had some connection with the girl's family, but she had no evidence and did not dare to conclude.
Today, after hearing what Jia Song said, I realized that it was actually true.
The missing young man in the story is Lao Wu's son.
No wonder Lao Wu insisted on persuading their family to leave the house.
To others, it is a sad and horrifying story.
But for Lao Wu, his son's disappearance and his girlfriend's suicide by hanging are a tragedy that he cannot bear to look back on, and scars that can never be erased.
Lao Wu didn't want anyone else to live in that house because he didn't want the scars in his heart to be revealed again.
Yu Xiaoye remembered that there was a child in the story, the child of Romeo and Juliet (the girl and the boy), so he asked:
"So, what about that kid, Lao Wu's grandson? Is he still in the Eighth Company?"
Jia Song shook his head:
"The child is not here. Lao Wu has a daughter. A few years ago, she got married and took the child away. Otherwise, if the child had stayed here, there would have been gossip and rumors, which would have been bad for the child. Letting the child live somewhere else and completely burying this past is a good thing for the child. Now Lao Wu sends ten yuan a month for living expenses to his daughter, as if it were his grandson's living expenses."
Yu Xiaoye nodded. This arrangement was very good. It would allow the child to leave this sad place and never know what happened to his biological parents, nor would he hear the gossip of neighbors. This arrangement was very appropriate.
After Jia Song finished the story, he saw Yu Xiaoye seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked:
"Well, do you still want to stay here?"
Yu Xiaoye looked up:
"Stop—"
Jia Song exhaled from his nose:
"Is it possible that I have wasted all this time talking in vain?"
"It wasn't in vain. At least I know about it now."
Jia Song: “???”
Jia Song suddenly laughed. This little girl is so cute!
His eyes inadvertently slid across a piece of paper spread out on the table, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he asked again:
"By the way, can you sing? Do you dare to perform in front of everyone?"
Yu Xiaoye didn't expect Brother Jia to change the subject so abruptly. He was stunned for a moment and asked back:
"What's wrong?"
Jia Song rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"If you can sing and are willing to stand in front of others and sing, I will help your family solve the fence problem. How about it?"
Yu Xiaoye frowned, his little face full of confusion.
She couldn't help but look at the piece of paper in front of Jia Song. When she came in just now, Jia Song seemed to be scratching his head and worrying about the paper.
Yu Xiaoye saw a line of words written on the paper: May Day program list of the Eighth Company of the Fifth Branch of Mishan Farm.
There was nothing in the list, not a single show.
Yu Xiaoye then realized that it was already mid-April and Labor Day was coming soon.
The farm also
This festival is taken very seriously. Every farm and every company has to arrange some programs and perform them on their own territory.
Captain Yang certainly didn't want to take care of this kind of cultural and sports work, so it naturally fell on Jia Song.
But Jia Song seemed to have not found a program yet and was worrying about not being able to find one. He happened to see the little girl Yu Xiaoye who spoke clearly and interestingly, so he thought of coaxing her over. No matter what she did, no matter whether her singing was good or not, as long as she stood in front of the crowd, she would be considered to have made up the number and performed a show.
Moreover, the little girl has big eyes and an oval face, which makes her very pleasing. Although she is pale and thin, she is still very attractive if she dresses up carefully.
Jia Song smiled and asked like a big bad wolf trying to trick a little white rabbit:
"Labor Day is coming soon. The company will hold a labor meeting and perform a show. If you dare to stand in front of others and perform, I will help you solve the problem of the fence. How about it?"
Yu Xiaoye rolled his eyes and said with a confused look:
"Brother Jia, how about this? You find someone to make some new fences for our house, and then replace all the fences. Then I'll perform two shows for you, okay?"
