    ?

    September 10th is both Teacher's Day and Zhang Hua's junior high school reunion day. The weather on this day is very good, with clear sky, blue sky, autumn wind and white clouds.

    The rise of "Nongjiale" has made urban people more and more like to go to the countryside to experience the original ecological leisure feeling during holidays.  In this autumn harvest season, the farm orchards in the hills of the eastern suburbs have become the representative of local farm folk tourism.  And this year's reunion meeting place is set at the Hilly Farmhouse proposed by old class leader Yang Mei.

    Zhang Hua and the others did not drive, but took a rented bus to the hills.  When the bus left the hustle and bustle of the city and gradually drove into the suburbs, the scenery in front of me gradually changed from tall buildings to low houses and finally to endless fields.

    There are busy figures everywhere in the crop field. The farmers are rushing to harvest the autumn harvest. The roar of the machines, the sound of joy, and the joyful singing form a beautiful melody.  The ears of rice in the field are golden, and the breeze blows, and the waves of rice are rolling.  In the forest garden and on the hillside, there are so many fruits that the fruit trees are so heavy that they can't straighten their waists.  In the field ridges, beside the soil slopes, and beside the weirs, wild flowers are in full bloom in the sweat of people.  Wild chrysanthemums with golden yellow flowers, stinky peonies in clusters, and morning glories blowing big trumpets are silently competing with each other with their beautiful and moving fragrance and dark and flowing fragrance.  There are bees and butterflies flying on the flowers, and many little reptiles that cannot be named. They sometimes hover over the flowers and sometimes rest among the branches.

    The destination is a cement dam connecting the fruit forest and the field.  The farmer built a four-meter-wide stone table in the dam, and there were twenty or thirty small bamboo benches stacked next to it.  Zhang Hua and the others all sat down around the stone table, on which were placed local seasonal vegetables and fruits.  Students and teachers chatted happily while tasting fresh fruits.

    Teacher Dai looked at the distant scenery and praised leisurely: "The current farmhouse is really well done, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery or rural scenery, it is very comfortable to look at."

    Teacher Cai said with emotion: "When we went to the mountains and the countryside, we didn't have the mood to experience this, but now it has become a way of leisure travel that rural people provide to urban people to return to nature so as to relax physically and mentally and enjoy the spirit.  "

    Teacher Fang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Yes, it's unimaginable for young people who haven't experienced that kind of hardship. What they see in their eyes is the comfort of the peaceful age. That's good, at least the children  No longer will you experience the unease of turbulent times.¡±

    The monitor, Yang Mei, interrupted the teachers¡¯ reminiscence, and said cheerfully: ¡°Now is the time for free activities. Master Liao (the owner of the farmhouse) said that we can pick the crops in his field and the fruits in the forest at will, but only in the  Eat here, you can't take it away. And everyone should pay attention to keeping the site clean, and don't damage the immature crops"

    Before Yang Mei could finish speaking, the students laughed and dispersed. This kind of country life that they had never experienced before made everyone very excited and excited.  Here, they can break the overripe corn from the green corn stalks by themselves and roast them; they can also dig out peanuts buried in the soil with a hoe, peel them off and eat them without waiting for cleaning.  There are tender and sweet peanut kernels inside; you can even pick a bunch of blue and purple grapes directly from your head and throw them into your mouth

    Zhang Hua breathed the fresh air, and he hadn't been so happy for a long time.  To be a virtuous wife in front of her husband; to be a sensible daughter in front of her parents; to be an elegant, elegant and intelligent official wife in front of Xu Yali and her friends.  Her nerves are tense all the time, and she plays every role carefully.  The shallowness of thought and spiritual emptiness made her more and more irritable. She just felt that this kind of life was completely different from what she had imagined before, and this feeling was very tiring and at a loss.

    "Why don't you go roast corn with them?" Yang Mei patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder, interrupting her meditation.

    "Oh, I'm looking at the scenery, the environment here is really nice."

    "Of course, in order to arrange this event well, I went to the hills to investigate a few times before choosing this place." Yang Mei smiled cheerfully, "Every time the students say that the party is nothing new, this time it can always be  Let them be satisfied."

    "That's thanks to you."

    "It's okay, as long as everyone is happy. Let's go and wash the peanuts together. The fresh peanuts will be tender when eaten."

    "Okay." Zhang Hua let go of the tediousness in his heart and joined the students' work.

    Everyone was laughing and arguing, only one woman was in a daze, and she was Zhang Hua's deadly enemy, Yu Xia.

    Yu Xia is wearing a fashionable sportswear, the front of the jacket is embellished with glitter prints, the combination of pure white and soft pink gives people a refreshing feeling, and matching black sweatpants with a waist that makes the whole person look  It looks more sporty.  And the back pocket of the sports pants is printed with a pink pattern.?At the same time, the pink beading design on the side increases the line feeling of the clothes and makes her sexy curves fully displayed.  She tied a high ponytail, the end dangling unrestrainedly, giving people a soft and lovely feeling.  She is still so attractive, but she didn't keep showing off her figure or flaunting her wealth like before. She stood alone under the grape trellis, like a lonely white  swan.

    Before getting on the bus, Zhang Hua noticed that something was wrong with Yu Xia.  She didn't wear much makeup today, the thin powder couldn't cover her pale face, the pair of dark brown eyes under the haggard face looked black and hollow, I don't know what kind of blow she suffered, even Zhang Hua walked away from her  Never noticed.  Since she didn't take the initiative to provoke, Zhang Hua didn't bother to argue with her.  But now seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhang Hua suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.  She remembered that Luo Xiaolan and Xiaolan had said last year that the couple were getting divorced, and she didn't know what was going on now, so she walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong? You don't seem happy?"

    Yu Xia turned her head suddenly, with a look of panic in her eyes, she smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, I haven't slept well recently."

    Everyone has their own secrets. Seeing that Yu Xia didn't want to say it, Zhang Hua didn't ask too much. She pretended not to see Yu Xia's expression, and said directly: "If you don't have anything to do, let's go and play together.  Just have a party like this."

    Yu Xia nodded, followed Zhang Hua to the stone table, she seemed to remember something, stopped and asked: "I heard you are married?"

    "Well, it's due in May."

    "How is the man? Do you have any money?" Yu Xia's eyes were round and big, and her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed the tension in her heart. She and Zhang Hua had been secretly competing, and she didn't want to be compared this time.

    Zhang Hua didn't want to talk too much about Wang Dong's affairs, nor did he want to tell others that he married a "****", so he said lightly: "It's okay, we won't starve to death anyway."

    Seeing that Zhang Hua didn't even dare to introduce her husband, Yu Xia thought that the man Zhang Hua married must be a very ordinary man, so she gave him a contemptuous look, "Aren't you hungry?"  It's not worth it for your opponent to get worse and worse.  Then she cheered up again, and her eyes returned to the old look.  Heh, she won this competition again, at least she found a rich man.

    After the class reunion, Zhang Hua cut down on socializing, unless it was some gatherings that couples must attend. She usually stayed at home and read books, and sometimes went back to her parents' house to have a look.  The words of her parents last time shocked her deeply. In the past, she was always indulged in her own world and did not consider her parents' feelings. Now she has figured it out that it is better to spend more time with the elderly during the sad time.  Don't wait until "the wind wants to be quiet but the trees don't stop, the son wants to be there but the relatives are not there" to grieve in vain.  As for the matter of children, it is hard to come by, maybe the time has not yet come, isn't it that some couples only have one or two years after marriage.  I can't always complain about Wang Dong's lack of time at home, after all, Wang Dong has his career and his social circle.  Although she can't change Wang Dong, she can change herself and adjust her mentality.  Married life is mediocre, if you can't bear it now, what will you do in the next few decades?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
