After the wedding, Amu didn’t get into the crowd for days.
People noticed that Amu stayed in the patio with Lin, Yao whenever he was free.
Either Lin, Yao helped Amu cut his nails
or Amu helped Lin, Yao comb her hair.
They don't even know how could love each other more.
The women in the village were a little confused.
They said, "How come they love so much?"
Huagou shook his head with extreme authority.
He resolutely rejected the so-called "love" by taking the example of animal accompanies all day.
However, because Amu didn't get into the crowd,
Huagou and Mingliang were always a little disturbed.
The village was obviously deserted than before.
Until now did they realized that it was not that Amu needed them,
on the contrary, they needed Amu.
Amu means a lot to them.
Huagou and Mingliang could not let life be so mediocre.
They did not agree. The villagers did not agree, either.
They called a child over and asked the child to call Amu out,
saying that there was something important to "discuss with him".
Amu came out very late.
He put his hands in his sleeves and stood in front of a large group of people.
He asked in a low voice, "What?"
Huagou walked up and took Amu's shoulders and patted a few times but said nothing.
Then Huagou picked up a branch and drew a few circles and a line on the ground.
Huagou became serious and said, "Everyone, be quiet, we have a meeting."
Huagou touched on the simple map on the ground
and told everyone about the road construction in the village.
"Where should the highway pass?" Huagou's face showed helplessness.
Huagou looked at everyone and said, "We must have an opinion."
Everyone did not speak, but looked at Amu together, with expectations and trust in their eyes.
Amu had never received such a high-level courtesy before, rubbing his palms and pouting his lips.
Huagou handed Amu a cigarette and lit it on.
Amu was flattered and almost shy.
Huagou said: "Amu, everyone trusts you the most.
Everyone listens to whatever you say. You have to give everyone an idea."
Amu squatted on the ground, thinking for a long time, and suddenly said,
"Then let it pass by my house."
Huagou and the others looked at each other and said nothing.
Finally, Huagou said, "I think it's okay."
Then everyone said yes together.
Amu never expected that he had decided on such an important matter ever,
and he was a little astonished, and he had to run back to tell Lin, Yao the good news.
Huagou quickly grabbed Amu and asked with concern,
"Does sister Lin, Yao treat you well?"
"Yes," Amu said.
Huagou said, "Talk about it."
Amu lowered his head as if looking back at a happy scene, pouting his lips,
smiling but not answering.
Huagou looked upset and said, "We are all happy for you and care about you.
Even the highway passes by your house.
Tell us about it, Amu."
Amu looked behind him and whispered,
"Lin, Yao exhorted me, don't tell others."
Mingliang took his words and said,
"What did Lin, Yao exhorted you not to tell others?"
At this question, Amu became silent, but he couldn't help it.
He raised his head and felt happy, said,
"Then you don't tell others."
Everyone gathered around Amu and made a very solemn guarantee.
Amu began to tell.
But Amu's narrative is too wordy, too branchy, and somewhat intangible.
Huagou and Mingliang kept interrupting him,
pulling the topic to the edge of the bed and the pillow.
Amu's words slowly got to the point.
Amu started the screen commentary on the bed like a live video of a sports game.
The audience friends kept cheering with laughter and applause,
so the broadcast of Amu was even more exciting.
The live broadcast of Amu embellished the windy winter and enriched the spiritual life of the villagers.
Due to the broadcast of Amu,
the new house of Amu and Lin, Yao and even the walls of the patio have become useless.
They became public, transparent, and wide open.
People were caring about them and reciting their stories.
Amu didn't know how important their marriage was to the people in the village.
There was only one thing Amu can do,
to keep busy at home, and to keep talking outside.
The village reappeared alive.
Of course, there is a loss.
Amu doesn't lose his temper anymore, which made the villagers very helpless.
This greatly reduces the significance of Amu.
If Amu walks without the accompanies of chickens flying and dogs jumping,
it is like a flower has no petals, a fox missed its tail,
a crab broke its claws, and a peacock lost its feathers.
This is not okay.
Huagou and Mingliang tried their best, but Amu didn't lose his temper.
It's really helpless. Huagou concluded sadly,
"Amu is destroyed by that woman."
