When Xiumei left the town, the white-haired old man without legs was still pulling erhu by the broken bridge at the entrance of the town.
He was in ragged clothes and placed an almost extinct enamel teapot in front of him, with some dimes inside. As long as it is not rainy, you can see him. He never takes the initiative to find someone to beg for it. He just uses his thin hands and old erhu to play one song after another.
The old man played "Battle of Liang" today. He closed his eyes, focused, and the music was like crying. He flowed out from his fingers and dripped into the river, which seemed extremely inconsistent with everything around him. Passers-by kept passing by him, no one stopped, no one looked at him, except Xiumei.
Xiumei hugged the child with one hand, took out 10 yuan from her bag with the other hand, and bowed and threw it into the enamel teapot.
The old man didn't stop or raise his eyes, but a sentence slipped out of his mouth, "Go?"
"Go away."
"Goodbye."
Xiumei smiled bitterly and curled her lips, "Where is there any goodbye?"

Xiumei is a rural girl, and her family did not allow her to continue studying after a junior high school graduate. Her father said: "What kind of school a girl can study at home? Sooner or later, she will be from other people. She will help her family make more money in the past few years."
What farm work can a girl do? Besides, the beautiful plums are beautiful, with thin willows and well-behaved appearance. They can count them in all villages.
Her father knew that his daughter wanted to be raised in wealth, so he was reluctant to throw it into the fields and was exposed to the wind and sun, so as not to be sold at a good price in the future. Xiumei only helped the wedding celebrations of the east family at home and helped the west family's children for a hundred days. She was very skillful and skillful, making the big pot meal very sweet. In a few years, Xiumei became a 20-year-old girl.
The second uncle came to visit and said that he wanted to cook on the battlefield in the town. For women, the condition was that the cooking was delicious. Thinking that Xiumei was just right, I came to report a letter and heard that the salary was paid a lot.
Xiumei's father cross-legged smoking on the kang. After thinking carefully, he found that this job was really his daughter. First, the daughter had a designated job for cooking, second, he could earn money to save dowry, and third, he might meet a good family in the town.

The battlefield is not far from the town, and it is less than half an hour to ride a bicycle. The boss’s surname is Tian, and the workers call him third brother. My third brother looks in his thirties and likes to wear fine-textured shirts and off-white casual pants, and his leather shoes are always polished to suit others.
Xiumei felt that he was not like this dirty battlefield boss at all, but like a white-collar worker on TV, capable and elegant.
Boss Tian ate the big pot dish stir-fried by Xiumei, and praised it all over the first bite, "Ha! This dish tastes authentic, it looks as authentic as a girl. I won't be able to greedy these fools in the future! Add less oil and more salt. Oh, by the way, I'll stir-fry it."
Xiumei happily pursed her lips, and her mouth was quite sweet when she was happy, "Okay, boss, I'll make it for you if you like it, I'll keep you happy, but you have to add money to me."
Boss Tian added to her mouth again. A chopstick dish, "What boss, the third brother, I'm used to it."
After he said that, he waved to the foreman, "I'll tell the old donkey not to buy vegetables tomorrow. I'll clean up the small tricycle and hand it over to Xiumei. There is nothing wrong with it, so I can save the effort to pedal at that time. In the future, I'll leave the vegetables to her. The chef must have good ingredients." The
battlefield started construction 24 hours a day. Two excavators kept taking out golden sand from the turbid river water, like gold, and then transported it to the shore with conveyor belt . It took only a few days to fill the open space on the river bank. Brother Tian San said, "This is more fucking faster than gold. You don't have to work harder, just wait for the money to collect."
Xiumei didn't understand this. She looked at the riverbed, and dozens of excavators, large and small, arranged densely for several kilometers. It was from the old Zhang family and the old Wang family... She saw that the battlefields surrounded this small river tightly, just like a country celebration, where ten people ate extremely sweetly at a table.

San Ge pulled a lot of colorful steel plates to the construction site, saying that he wanted to buy a house. The second floor is a Datong room, where workers can rest and eat, so that they can save time and run around and have to wait for a long time to find someone while working. On the first floor, the third brother uses one as an office, another as a lounge, and a large room as a kitchen, and Xiumei lives in the room that is based on the third brother's rest room.
Little Triple Round Xiumei didn't ride a few times. The thing was bumpy on the pothole road, and the vegetables she bought were shaking up and down in the back bucket.
The third brother got into the car with his handbag, rolled down the window and shouted to the kitchen: "Xiumei, I'll go to the town and I'll buy vegetables. Get on the bus quickly, I'll be in a hurry."
Xiumei got on the car in three steps and opened the car door and sat behind. The third brother looked back at her and said, "What are you doing when you sit in the back? Are you talking vigorously? Sit in the front!"
The third brother chatted with Xiumei while driving.
"Haha, what are you wearing?"
"Work clothes for cooking."
"I know, you don't change a set when you go shopping."
"What to change? How troublesome it is to exchange it."
"Girls in town have to dress up when they go out on the street."
"What to change? l3 "My father said that when working, you have to be like working, it's fancy and unrealistic."
Third brother laughed, "I heard that rural girls love to go to work in the city, why didn't you go?"
"I want to go too. I originally agreed to wait for Yadan to come back, and go to the south together next time. I have not been to a big city yet, and Yadan said there are many fun things."
"Luckily you didn't go."
"Why?"
"Most rural children go to factories to work for people. They have to pay a deposit when they enter the factory, which costs several thousand. They don't pay the capital in the first month, they can't get sick or take leave, dozens of people squeeze into a room, and maybe the factory will go bankrupt one day, and the wages will not come in the end, and even the deposit will be blind. You are not watching TV, and as soon as the Chinese New Year comes, migrant workers ask for wages, and all of them jump off the building and hang themselves."
"Is that true ? Are these all scoundrels? Who dares to work for them! "
" That's it, but if you don't work, you don't have a penny. What do you think? I'm different here. The salary is monthly. I'll send them red envelopes during festivals. A package is at least 500 yuan. If I get sick, I should recuperate, and I should be hospitalized. When I get sick, I will still use the third brother.
" Seeing that Liu Crooked, I went to the river to repair the machine and stabbed my foot. I was infected with tetanus and had half of my foot. When I came back, I still asked him to repair the machine. Xiumei, do you think I am not real? "
" The third brother is real! "
" So, third brother is really good, you have to be as real as third brother. I will take you to buy a dress later, and the girl should dress up when she goes out. "
" This... third brother, no, I don't have money. "
" Look at you, you just finished speaking and want to be honest, why are you dividing the inside and outside again? You don’t have to spend money, this is a work clothes, and you will be reimbursed on the battlefield. "
" Really, third brother, you are so good! When I was at home, I liked skirts, but I didn’t have the money to buy them. "
The third brother led Xiumei around the town for a long time, bought vegetables, ice cream, and bought a skirt. The skirt was so short that it was a slap on the knee.
Xiumei said, "San brother, don't you go to do business anymore? "
The third brother said: "I will do it later. "

Old donkey was very angry. When making food, he always pointed at me and scolded me, "What a broken dish? Why are there any clean vegetable leaves? I heard that the woman who cooks on the west battlefield is having sex with people..."
Xiumei lowered her head and just gave the workers food, pretending to hear nothing. She could guess the reason, because when buying vegetables, the stall owner always asked her for the benefits.
That day, the old donkey went out to serve the food, turned around and came back, raised his hand and held a bowl of food on the ground, "Are you cooking? Your big teeth almost hurt. You don't wash rice, you can't see such a big sand?"
Xiumei's face was flushed, and she shrank her neck and hid in the corner and did not dare to answer.
The old donkey was unreasonable, "Come on, come here, come here and eat all the rice with sand."
As soon as the words fell, the old donkey was slapped hard on the back of the neck.
"Are you asking for trouble? Third brother, have I treated you badly? I have bought vegetables for two years, and I have tucked at least three or five hundred per month. Did I say that third brother? Don't just take advantage of it but not suffer any loss. Besides, have you suffered a loss? Fuck you, you can get out if you don't want to do it! Xiumei is my girl. Disgusting her means disgusting me. Don't disgusting me here!"
Third brother was very righteous, and the old donkey was immediately depressed. "San brother, boss, look at what you said, I, old donkey, are you ignorant? If I had known that Xiumei was your sister, I would chew and swallow the stones. You are a lot of people, don't blame me."

3The workers on the battlefield all had motorcycles. On the afternoon of August 15, after getting the red envelope from my third brother, they all went home happily for the festival.
Xiumei Jiayuan, you can go back, but you can't come back that day, which delays cooking the next day.
The worker was exposed, and the third brother walked into the kitchen, "All right, don't clean up, hurry up and go back to the house to change clothes. I haven't been home for two months. I'll be a full-time driver for you and drive you home."
"Then don't have to cook tomorrow?"
"What do you think? Come back with me tonight. Hurry up, wear those shorts, your legs are long, and your figure is shown."
The third brother is very interesting. The trunk is full of gifts, mooncakes are boxed, and fruits are baskets. Xiumei's parents were so happy that they were busy with the table of dishes. They opened a bottle of white wine that they couldn't bear to drink during the Chinese New Year. They kept saying that Xiumei was lucky and had a good boss.
Xiumei saw that her parents were wrong and wanted to explain several times, but she swallowed it back.
Maybe she felt that there was no need to explain that the third brother had a wife and had two children. Everything they did was just a friendship between the brother and his sister.
Maybe she also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by envy. The girls in the village all widened their eyes and whispered a lot, with the words "jealousy" clearly written on their faces.
When I went back, it was completely dark. The climate in the mountains changed as soon as possible. The moon was hanging high just now. After a gust of mountain wind, the raindrops as big as beans came down.
The mountain road is already rugged, and the depth of the accumulated water is so deep that it is so shallow that the car falls into a puddle. Third brother gave the throttle enough, and the car was sliding horizontally, but he couldn't climb up. Xiumei jumped out of the car and braved the heavy rain and used her strength behind her. With a bang, the car finally escaped from the puddle.
Xiumei was soaked all over. When she got into the car, the third brother quickly took a towel and handed it to her, "Take it off, take it off quickly and wipe it dry, don't catch a cold."
Xiumei was so embarrassed to take off her clothes in front of her brother, and she was still a big girl. The third brother said, "The seats of the car are wet, they are all really leathery, so expensive. When I walked to the battlefield so wet, I was soaked in float ."
Xiumei had no choice but to climb to the back seat, and while taking off, he said to the third brother, "Don't peek."
The third brother didn't drive, and looked at it from the rearview mirror with his side eyes. A fire slowly burned up and turned around and rushed to the back seat.
Xiumei lived in the third brother's lounge on the night. She was a little scared, but she didn't regret it.
Xiumei asked the third brother, "Why don't you go home during the holiday?"
Third brother said, "It's the same whether you go back or not. At most, you have to come back for a meal. I live on the battlefield myself during the holidays, and no one will see the equipment being lost."
Xiumei continued, "Why don't sister-in-law feel sorry for you? "
" I feel sorry for what? She doesn't understand the charm. She is okay with her children, and there is nothing else interesting. Back then, I was ignorant, my parents were the masters and matchmakers for marriage, and there was no happiness at all. "
Xiumei felt a little pitiful to her third brother, "Then are you happy with me?" "
" Happiness, I knew I had found happiness when I saw you at first sight. "The third brother answered with certainty.
Since Xiumei slept with the third brother, the third brother has lived on the battlefield every night. Xiumei is becoming more and more skilled, and the third brother has unlocked all the skills she can think of.
Xiumei doesn't know what this is. The third brother didn't promise her. She just hopes to win what she wants with considerate and skills.

Xiumei is pregnant, and her reaction is getting stronger day by day, and then her belly is getting better and better day by day. The third brother drove Xiumei home and asked her to take care of her baby at home. He has his own arrangements for everything when the child is born.
Xiumei's father threw out all the things that the third brother brought, "You are ruining this big daughter, and you want to send us some broken things? Divorce, get married after you finish, hurry up, otherwise don’t enter this door! "
Xiumei wanted to explain to his father, but his father raised his hand and said, "Get out of here too! Not only is it embarrassing outside, but it also runs back to the village to embarrass. I can't afford to lose this face! "
When the two of them came out, the third brother threw down two stacks of money and originally planned to leave it for Xiumei to raise her baby. Xiumei's father fell the things he brought, but he didn't lose money. In the face and money, the money won.
The third brother rented a house in the town and bought the household items he deserved, and finally settled Xiumei. He stopped living in the battlefield at night and drove back to Xiumei's residence early after work.
is like a newlywed couple of an old couple, waiting for the birth of the child sweetly.
Xiumei asked: "This child is also there, what should the eldest lady do? "She called the third brother's wife the eldest wife.
The third brother said, "What can she do? Be patient. Just live like this. Anyway, I will always be with you. If not, she will leave and marry you back. "
" Can she leave? "
" is the same. "
Xiumei was happy and patted her belly gently, "Baby, come out quickly, if you come out, your mother will go home with your dad. "
But until the child was born, the eldest lady did not divorce her third brother.
After getting pregnant, I waited for my boyfriend to divorce and marry me, and waited until the child was full month

The battlefield is the golden field. Fighting often happens because of crossing the boundaries, and some local gangsters are jealous.
The third brother's battlefield has often caused trouble recently. First, they collect protection fees, then they have to invest in shares, and then they charge 200 yuan for every truck of sand pulled out, which is equivalent to 40% of the net profit.
The third brother naturally cannot agree, and he started to do it after a while. The people who came from the local boss suffered less losses and were injured by the workers.
The third brother knew that this matter could not be done. When the other party made an appointment to fight to the death and decided to belong to the battlefield in one battle, he spent money to find the cruel people in the town. Dozens of people on both sides started a war on the battlefield. After a sword and a sword, the gangster was cut into pieces and fled in panic, and threw down a body that was beaten to death.
people didn't know who stabbed him to death. The scene was too chaotic. He burned Gaoxiang without being injured. He didn't even care about stabbing him at that time. Who cut off whom? But the third brother had to take care of this matter. When the police came to arrest the person, the third brother sat in the office with his head held, and he didn't want to.
The dead ruffian family doesn't want money, and as long as the murderer pays his life, he says that after the single pass was destroyed for several lifetimes, the money was burned. In the end, under the pressure of the family and the huge social response, the third brother was sentenced to death.
The third brother said, "I want to see someone." ”
Xiumei followed the police. She didn’t know how she came here for more than a month. All the news was heard from him. She could only hold the child every day and she cried.
She had seen the eldest lady, and the eldest lady looked contemptuous, "I know you little fairy, and you also know that you brought out a baby, but this is useless. Which battlefield boss doesn't have a mistress? There are so many children, I'll go and ask, is there anyone who can be reborn?"
Xiumei burst into tears again, "I didn't want to do anything else, I just wanted to ask for it. Listen to the situation of the third brother, I have been to prison, and people say that I am not allowed to see you because I am not a relative or not. "
The old lady sneered, "The situation? Is the situation related to you? Can you save a dead person? I also know that I am not a relative or not. You deserve to know the situation!"
The third brother said, "I'm sorry for you, I can't leave anything for you."
Xiumei said, "Is that over?"
3 Brother San said, "Don't hate me."
Xiumei said, "Is it useful to hate?"
3 Brother San said, "Do you regret it?"
Xiumei said, "You Guess. "
" Actually, is it useful to guess or not? The love I always thought was destined to bear the debt that I would never explain clearly for the rest of my life."

3 Xiumei left the legless old man playing the erhu at the entrance of the town, and she waved to stop the bus heading to lin County .
I heard that there is a battlefield cooking in that area. (Original title: "The Fourth Story in Love in : The Bad Boss' Miss Three ")
