Girls in the farm yard

Although the little girl Jiajia is the first girl I know, I don’t think there is any difference between girls and boys. Lin Jing was the first girl who changed my mind. Our fathers had known each other since they were soldiers in Harbin, and they both moved to the same place to work. The first day we arrived here, we went to their house. I didn't see Lin Jing at first, she was hiding in the room inside. Her mother asked her to come out and compare her height with me. She has a serious expression and is taller than me, but she is half a year younger than me. Her mother comforted me and said:

"Don't worry, boys grow up fast."

But this made me very ashamed. From then on, I always hoped that I would grow faster and hope that the next time I saw her, I would be taller than her.

When I go out to play, I can always find finely cut, round leaves on the edge of the alley, which look like someone is making something to eat. For several days, no one found out who left it. One day, in the same place, Lin Jing and another girl squatted on the ground, lowered their heads, silently cutting leaves, doing their "cooking". They are so quiet and skillful, not at all as flamboyant, adventurous and destructive as boys. They are playing the role of mother, but they are only seven years old. Lin Jing looks a little shorter, maybe because I have grown a little taller. Although she remained silent, she didn't scare me as much as she did last time.

One day when I came home from school, I ran back to the compound where I lived and saw Lin Jing, her mother and my mother from a distance. I gasped and slammed into them.

"Oh, why are you running away?" asked the aunt.

"Jia Tao is crazy... crazy. He is chasing us with the stick in the toilet... the stick..." I exaggeratedly pretended to be unable to relax, and my aunt was touching me. He held my head and said to my mother: "Look, boys are naughty." I caught a glimpse of Lin Jing snickering next to her mother. This girl, who had always been tough on me, was finally amused by my antics. "Look, I'm taller than her now." My heart felt like spring blossoms.

There are several girls playing with Lin Jing. The girl who plays cooking with her is named Xue Yanyan. She is not tall, has big eyes, short hair, and a loud voice. She always comes to talk to Lin Jing. Play. She is lively and sacrificial.

In the innermost row of houses across the road, lived the three Qiao brothers. The eldest brother's daughter, Qiao Jingjing, has a hoarse voice. She wanted to play with us older kids. We thought she was small at first, but gradually, we accepted her as a regular member.

Zhou Ying'er's home is in the first few rows outside the compound. I never know where her home is because she always comes to the compound to find us. When her mother called her, she immediately ran back. She has an oval face, loves to talk and laugh, and always wears very little.

So, there were these girls. Lin Jing, Xue Yanyan, Zhou Ying and Xiao Jingjing. They like to play house. I was the only big boy willing to play house with them. Chen Yanxing's little brother Ermao and my neighbor Tiantian, these two little boys are often invited by girls to play some roles.

One day, we were playing in the yard, and as usual, Zhou Yinger ran over to play with us. She was very excited and asked us what we wanted to play, and we said "Chasing Wife, Threesome". She loved it.

"Then let's allocate roles."

"Who will be the big brother?" Zhou Ying'er asked.

"Chen Yanxing". Everyone pointed at him. He stood on the edge, squinting his eyes and seeming to be smiling. He has no interest in playing house and is forced to stay here because he is with me.

"Who is the second brother?" Zhou Ying asked again.

"Qin Zhi." The girls gave me this role.

Then, the role of younger brother fell to Tiantian who looked stern on the side. He wasn't interested in playing house either. The girls began excitedly discussing their roles.

"How about Lin Jing playing Yiyi, me playing Cailing, and Xue Yanyan playing the role of Mei Mei?" Zhou Ying'er naturally assigned the roles and chose a good role for herself. Xue Yanyan happily accepted Mei Mei, the ugliest girl. She is truly full of sacrifice and never competes for a role.

I'm secretly happy because my character is paired with Lin Jing's character on TV. But she immediately objected.

"No, I shouldn't play Yiyi."

"Why, you are the most suitable to play Yiyi. Aren't you and Qin Zhi a perfect match?" people complained.

Lin Jing closed her lips tightly, lowered her head, looked at the ground, and remained silent.

"Okay, I'll be Yiyi." Zhou Ying took over the role of Yiyi and let Lin Jing be Cai Lin. I was a little disappointed, but Zhou Ying'er poked my head with her finger and complained happily: "I'm paired with an old man like you again."

After the distribution, the edge of the vegetable cellar became the girls' home, they started doing "housework" while we boys stood outside. We were confused and asked, "What are we doing?"

"Go to work and make money!" The girls pushed us out of the circle.

We boys went outside and ran a few laps, and the "job" was done. When we got home, the girls prepared "rice" for us and handed it to us, and we pretended to eat with chopsticks.

"Is it delicious?" the wives asked.

"It's delicious. Now that we've finished eating, what should we do with this bowl?"

"Oh, just put it down and I'll wash it! You go and do your thing!"

What's wrong with being manipulated by them and listening to their words? We received such sincere and considerate care from them.

Although Zhou Ying'er is a good partner, until the end, I still felt it was a pity that Lin Jing and I were just a little bit short of becoming a couple...

Although She didn’t want to be a couple with me, but Lin Jing and I were actually getting closer.

We took turns going to each other’s houses to watch TV. Whenever I go to her house, my heart is filled with joy, as if we were going to an appointment, overtly and covertly. I walked into the alley, in the dark night, to the door of their house, reached through a rectangular window in the middle of the iron gate, and took off the lock on the door - they had kept the door open for us. We entered their newly renovated south room. Their house was very economical, with no lights on the outside but warm and bright inside. We sat on her bed and watched TV together, Lin Jing and I on each side of our parents. I listened to her tell her mother about the plot on TV. This continued until winter, when it was their turn to come to my house and watch TV. We didn’t build a side house, so we lived in the back room of the main house. The TV was placed on a desk, and there was a stove burning in the middle of the house. We sat around the stove and watched TV while warming ourselves. The latest TV series is "Zhao Shangzhi". The prologue is that a group of soldiers enter the playground and form the three characters "Zhao Shangzhi". The TV tells the story of Zhao Shangzhi, a guerrilla leader who fought against the Japanese in the thick snow-covered mountains of Northeast China. After the episode ended, there was a loud and profound singing: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, lend me a pair of little hands, hold a handful of black soil, and bury the devil first..." At this time, Lin Jing and I left the inner room and ran outside. house to play. We chased around the dark room, sitting on the sofa against the wall, gasping for air. We sat so close that I could smell her breath, a cool, minty scent. Soon, after the commercial ended, we returned to the back room and continued watching TV. The news is so annoying, the ads keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

"Is it a white cloud or a waterfall? No, it's neither, it's the Feitian marble produced by the Houma Marble Factory..."

As soon as the commercial time came, Lin and I Lin Jing complained in unison: "Oh, it's another advertisement!" Then we quickly ran to the outhouse. Lin Jing saw the maps on the sofa, one for China and one for the world. We stood on the sofa and looked at these dense roads in the dark, and the names of various countries and islands. We had no idea about these places. I was interested in the Solomon Islands in the Pacific, and she wanted me to point out the location of Shanxi on the map of China.

We live happily like this, study, play, and spend every day in the long process of growing up. Partners who get along day and night also have feelings that accumulate over time.

I was always asked to go on long trips by Chen Yanxing and others. I was afraid of their jokes, so I took the initiative to alienate the girls. They were right in front of me and asked me to come over and play house, but I ignored them. . My time was divided into two parts, and I played house with the girls only when the boys didn't come to me.

Normally, Lin Jing and I are inseparable, and we have become a couple in everyone’s eyes. But in the house, I am still Zhou Ying’er’s husband.

After everyone met, we discussed what to play and expected who could come up with it. It was interesting, something new that we had never played before, but no one could think of it, so in the end we had to play house again. Everyone is a little embarrassed, feeling that they are so uncreative and can only play this kind of "too lazy to play anymore" game.

After the game started, this boredom slowly disappeared. Let’s start with Zhou Ying’er. She is so happy, which can be seen from her smile from the inside out.

For me, playing house is just a shell, a way for us to get along with each other, so that we, unrelated only children, form a big family that is better than brothers and sisters. In this big family, we are completely familiar, understanding and adaptable. We know that we will never displease anyone and will only take care of and cooperate with each other. We are like a migrating tribe, sometimes near the vegetable cellar, sometimes in front of Lin Jing’s house, sometimes on the roadside in the suburbs.

I am going to school in the city next semester, and I am determined to do what I like. Traveling abroad has become a burden. As long as I go out, I will never come back for a day, and my good time will be wasted. I decided that if they asked me to go again, I would refuse.

I took the girls to play by the mound in front of my house. Chen Yanxing ran over from outside and told me to go on a long trip to the dairy farm. I was very confident. The girls looked at me longingly, hoping I wouldn't leave. I said to Chen Yanxing: "I'm not going today, just stay here."

He begged: "Let's go, what's the point of playing with them here?"

I said, "Aren't you tired from running so far?"

He said, "Why are you tired? I will go to the dairy farm today, not anywhere else. Feng Zhiyong will also go, and so will Cui Jian Go, they are waiting for you at Jia Tao’s house.”

I told Chen Yanxing that I didn’t want to go today. Moreover, Lin Jing’s mother asked me to go to her house for dinner. Chen Yanxing looked at Lin Jing, glanced at me sideways, and said, "Stop making excuses, do you want to play with her? I think you two are about to become a family. You might as well marry her!" After that, Left angrily.

I don’t know if Lin Jing and the others heard it from across the ditch. I looked over there and she was a little apologetic and embarrassed.

It is very embarrassing and a shame to be told who you are good with at this age. If you deny it with actions or refute it with words, you can save some face, but doing nothing is tantamount to acquiescence. With a thorn in my back and a red face, I admitted something I was ashamed of and accepted my fate.

"How much have I sacrificed in order to play with you." I returned to the girls with regret, while the girls and my soldiers were happy and encouraged. I'm finally free! From now on you can spend all your time playing with the girls and never care about what other people think.

Maybe it’s because I have a deep friendship with boys, or it’s no secret that I like girls, but Chen Yanxing and the others didn’t alienate me, and they still regarded me as their friend for the rest of the time.

A few months later, I went to the city. My life with girls was over. In the new, larger class, I only have a pitiful time to interact with girls during recess. How can I have the kind of affection that I had with the farm girl? I lost my grand view garden.
