A few days after seeing off Lin Zhengcheng and his family, Su Nan received an invitation to the wedding of Liu Yu and Wang Hongzhi.
Looking at the sweetness of the two people walking together, Su Nan was sincerely happy for them, but also felt a little melancholy and couldn't help but clenched his palms.
"Where's Zhou Zhiqing? Is he coming?"
When Liu Yu asked this question, he was squatting in the corner of the yard looking at the camellia bush. Normally, at this time of year, the camellias should have withered long ago, leaving only green leaves, but there were still a few withered flowers left, trembling and blooming with a unique purity.
Su Nan brought out two cups of sugar water. Hearing this, he paused, then slowly smiled and said softly, "He may not be able to come. He has been very busy recently and I haven't been able to see him."
"Ah, there's nothing I can do about it. It's okay. Just bring him a bag of wedding candy for me when the time comes." Liu Yu stood up, took the water handed to him by Su Nan, and then handed a glass to Wang Hongzhi beside him.
"Yeah." Su Nan agreed with a smile, then changed the subject and said, "How about I do your bridal makeup for you then?"
"Okay." Liu Yu nodded immediately and smiled while hugging Su Nan.
Afterwards, they chatted about their current situation for a few more seconds. Su Nan took out the high school textbooks he brought from Shanghai and handed them to the two of them. He gave them some half-seriously and half-joking advice, asking them to read more books when they have time.
Liu Yu usually loves reading. When he was at the educated youth camp, he would read some books when he had nothing to do. So when he saw the book Su Nan gave him, a smile appeared on his face and he kept thanking her.
Wang Hongzhi didn't seem very interested. He had to earn a full salary every day and was exhausted. When he got home, he just wanted to fall asleep. How could he have time to read? But Su Nan kindly gave him a set, and he accepted it with a smile.
Su Nan saw everything, sighed quietly in his heart, and said nothing. He just smiled and sent the two away.
After the two left, Su Nan looked at the deserted yard. After standing there for a few seconds, she walked to the camellia, squatted down, and stretched out her hand. After a while, a small handful of water emerged from her palm. Seeing that it was almost enough, she slowly loosened her hand, and the water flowed through her fingers into the soil.
Not long after, the wilted buds and leaves miraculously bloomed back to life.
"You guys stay with me." Su Nan touched the flower bud lightly with his index finger and murmured softly.
Soon it was the day before Liu Yu's wedding. Su Nan went out early and got on a bus to Xiaojia Village. As soon as he got off the bus, he saw a disheveled, dirty man lying on the ground at the village gate, as if looking for something.
Seeing this, Su Nan thought the other person had lost something very important, so he kindly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly raised his head and shouted nervously: "Grandma, Grandma, I want to drink grandma."
Su Nan was startled and took a step back, but was tripped by the protruding stone under his feet and fell to the ground. The things in the bamboo box fell out and scattered all over the ground.
The man had an ugly face, messy long hair full of tangles and dead grass, his face was covered with mud, and dirty water kept dripping out of his mouth. It turned out that he was not looking for something with his head down, but was buried in the stinky ditch and eating dirt.
After seeing the other person's appearance, Su Nan felt nauseous and almost vomited. He covered his mouth and retched, then subconsciously moved his butt to hide behind him, praying in his heart that this man would not notice him.
But what you fear will come true. After looking around with empty eyes, the man locked his sight on Su Nan and called out in confusion: "Sister, I want milk, milk."
After saying that, he rushed towards Su Nan, his movements were extremely fast, completely different from his clumsy body.
"ah."
Su Nan screamed, quickly got up from the ground, and ran forward for her life, shouting "Help". Fortunately, she was at the entrance of the village and it was dinner time. At this time, many people did not go to work, but ate at home.
So just when the crazy man was about to grab Su Nan's hand, a villager took a stick and hit him to the ground, stopping him.
"Su Zhiqing, are you okay?" Many people rushed over after hearing the news, one of whom was Ding Mao.
"It's okay." Su Nan shook his head. Seeing someone he knew, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Still trembling, he patted his chest and looked at the mad man who was pinned down. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
She had never seen this person before when she stayed in Xiaojia Village.
As if seeing through Su Nan's thoughts, Ding Mao frowned and explained, "This man is from Xiaojia Village. When he was a child, he had a fever and had no money to treat it, so his brain became stupid. He has been like this ever since. Around the time you injured your leg, he accidentally fell into the river and was bedridden for a long time before he was finally rescued."
"Oh oh." It's quite pitiful.
At this moment, the villager who was holding down the mad man suddenly frowned in disgust and shouted speechlessly: "He pooped his pants, it stinks."
"It's really unlucky."
"Can't you just lock him up at home? Why is he out here causing trouble for others?"
The sound of chattering and a foul smell spread around, and everyone covered their mouths and noses and turned their heads away.
The crazy man seemed to have no idea what was going on. He kept grinning and even tried to reach out to dig out the dirt in his pants, muttering, "Delicious, delicious."
Everyone frowned in disgust, almost vomiting out the lunch they had just eaten.
"Son, why did you sneak out to play again?" At this time, a short woman in a flowery cotton jacket rushed up, hugged the crazy man and began to cry.
"This is his mother, she is already in her teens, and she has to serve him every day. It's so harmful." When he said the last part, Ding Mao couldn't help but sigh.
Su Nan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, so she didn't respond. Just as everyone wanted to disperse and go back to their homes to find their mothers, they saw a flash of color passing by their eyes.
The next second, the thin old woman grabbed a young woman's ear and dragged her to the crazy man.
Although Li Chunjuan is thin and small, she is very strong and runs very fast because she has been doing farm work all year round, going up mountains and down rivers.
"You bastard, you took so much money from me to help take care of my son and have another kid to carry on the family line, but you found countless excuses and hid from me for days. I finally caught you today."
"It's just right. Now that so many people are here, you write me a letter of guarantee and you can enter my Xiao family's gate next week. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will report you to the commune and the police station."
The young woman who was pulled out from the crowd by Li Chunjuan quickly covered her face with her hands, fearing that she would be recognized. However, her son's kung fu had already been seen clearly by many people just now, and covering her face now would only make the matter more obvious.
Su Nan didn't see it clearly at first, but she was too familiar with the man's face, so even though she didn't see it clearly, she guessed the other person's identity based on the general appearance and frowned in astonishment.
How could it be her?
