life struggle

Wu Xiaojun slipped out of the room like a thief, looked back at Lu Piaopiao who looked lonely and reluctant to let go, felt very regretful in his heart, slapped himself twice on the face, Wu Xiaojun, you are such a big bastard for carrying Bai Lingyan on your back Come here to have an affair with Lu Piaopiao, even a thunderbolt will strike you too much.

When he went to work the next day, Wu Xiaojun felt awkward seeing Lu Piaopiao, and tried his best to hide his complicated emotions in front of Wang Yuhong.

Lu Piaopiao remembered the incident of the two of them having sex together in Wushan, her expression was a little unnatural, she was absorbed in reviewing the manuscript, and rarely interacted with Wu Xiaojun.

The room was no longer joking and laughing like it used to be, and it seemed to be a lot colder. Wang Yuhong felt very uncomfortable for a while. He couldn't tell what was wrong between the two of them. He always felt weird and abnormal. ask.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Wu Xiaojun said solemnly, "Sister Wang, Piao Piao, I'm going back to my hometown tonight, and I'm afraid I won't be back until four or five days later. I'll leave the manuscript to you two!"

Wang Yuhong said with a smile, "Xiaojun, you can go back boldly and safely. Piao Piao and I will definitely move forward according to our plan."

Wu Xiaojun and Lu Piaopiao said, "Piao Piao, since we have been together for more than a month, I hope you can start well and end well, and consider leaving after the manuscript is completely over."

"Brother Wu, don't worry, I must wait for you to come back before leaving!"

"The three of you are in a meeting, you haven't got off work yet!" Bai Lingyan suddenly pushed the door open and said with a smile.

Lu Piaopiao saw Bai Lingyan for the first time yesterday, and she glanced at her through the glass without anyone noticing.Seeing her coming again, feelings of guilt and shame suddenly rose, his heart beat immediately a little faster, his face flushed slightly, and he quietly turned his face to one side, not daring to look at her directly.

Wang Yuhong was taken aback when he saw a young and beautiful lady floating in the air, looked him up and down carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister Wang, Piao Piao, let me introduce to you, the one standing in front of you is my girlfriend Bai Lingyan, who works in the staff hospital of Shenglin Oil Construction Company and rarely comes to our hospital. Come on, it's the first time you've met."

Wang Yuhong said enthusiastically, "I don't know who it is. It turns out to be Lingyan sister. I have heard your name for a long time. Xiaojun often praised you in front of me and Piao Piao. You are really dignified and elegant, beautiful and intelligent, even better than I imagined." She is very pretty, sit down quickly. Piao Piao, hurry up and pour a glass of water for the girl."

Bai Lingyan had never met Lu Piaopiao before, so she inadvertently saw that her face was reddish and slightly embarrassed, and she smiled sweetly, "Sister Piaopiao, you are all on your own, don't be busy! You continue to discuss things in meetings."

Lu Piaopiao hurriedly turned her face and said with a smile, "Miss Lingyan, you're welcome, please wait a moment!" He said embarrassingly and went to pour water from the kettle.

Wang Yuhong asked with a smile, "Sister, just now Xiaojun said that he will go back at night, are you here to see him off, or go with him?"

Wu Xiaojun was sandwiched between the two ladies, and it was really difficult to grasp the balance. He wanted to make Bai Lingyan feel relaxed, but not stimulate Lu Piaopiao's sensitive nerves and make her feel sad. He pretended to be happy and said, "She I was afraid that I would never return, and insisted on monitoring me, so I had no choice but to go back together."

Bai Lingyan blushed slightly, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "You're just talking nonsense, I don't care about you!"

Lu Piaopiao brought the water glass to Bai Lingyan, and said unnaturally, "Sister Lingyan, please drink some water."

"Thank you, Piao Piao girl!"

Lu Piaopiao looked at Wang Yuhong and Wu Xiaojun and said calmly, "Sister Wang, Dr. Wu, I have something to do, so I'll leave a little earlier, let's talk!"

Wang Yuhong said, "It's time to get off work soon, and I'm leaving too, Xiaojun, sister Lingyan, be careful on the road, I wish you two a smooth journey!"

Wang Yuhong and Lu Piaopiao returned to the room, picked up their handbags and left quickly.

Bai Lingyan looked at the backs of Lu Piaopiao and Wang Yuhong, and whispered, "Xiaojun, I think Wang Yuhong is quite a hearty person, and Jianmin gives people a sense of intimacy. That Lu Piaopiao is very good-looking, but It's just that he has a weird personality, and he seems a little unhappy to see me."

"You think too much. Lu Piaopiao is usually a taciturn nurse. She doesn't like to talk nonsense. Maybe it's a little strange to meet you for the first time."

Wu Xiaojun didn't dare to mention Lu Piaopiao in front of Bai Lingyan, for fear that if he said something incorrectly, it would arouse Proya's suspicion.

The next morning at around nine o'clock, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan returned to Yuanzhen County, had breakfast at the snack bar on Jiankang Street near the county hospital, and came to the third brother Wu Xiaosen's house.

Wu Xiaosen and his third sister-in-law Zhu Chunyan were all at home. Zhu Chunyan enthusiastically let them into the room and sat down, hurriedly put mineral water from the refrigerator on the coffee table in front of them, and said happily, "Sister Lingyan, since you left last time, It's been almost a year now, and your complexion is obviously much stronger than before, and your work is going well!"

Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, it's okay, so-so."

Zhu Chunyan asked enthusiastically, "Have you two had breakfast? Or I'll make it for you."

Wu Xiaojun said, "I just ate, no need, just sit here for a while, and we will go back."

Zhu Chunyan said, "What's the rush? It's exhausting to travel overnight. It's not too late to take a good rest here and go back in the afternoon."

Wu Xiaojun asked Wu Xiaosen, "How is the family doing now? Has the wheat harvest started?"

Wu Xiaosen said absently, "I haven't been back for a while, it's time to start!"

Wu Xiaojun saw that there was something wrong with Wu Xiaosen's mood, he was absent-minded, and he couldn't ask anything out of his mouth. There was no need to argue with him, so he bowed his head and stopped talking.

Zhu Chunyan said with a smile, "A few days ago, the elder brother's son got married in the world and you didn't come back. Did you come back this time to make up gifts for them?"

Wu Xiaojun said with a serious expression, "Whether he gets married or not has nothing to do with me. Lingyan and I didn't come back to see them, but to watch our parents harvest the wheat."

Seeing that Wu Xiaojun's tone became serious, Zhu Chunyan suppressed her smile, and persuaded softly, "Xiaojun, marriage in the world is another generation after all, and everything has to be looked at in the long run. You should visit them when you go back and make up for the gift money."

Wu Xiaojun wanted to get angry with Zhu Chunyan, but felt that it was not worth hurting his kindness because of an insignificant person, so he said flatly, "I have a characteristic, I don't care about the inside and outside, I don't talk about the old and the young, I talk nonsense all day long, making trouble. People who feel uneasy at home are even less willing to have any contact with such people."

Wu Xiaosen glared, and said angrily, "Others are just looking for trouble, but you are reasonable, what wrong has my brother done, what happened to you, you hate him so much, don't stop my dad talking nonsense. You have to know that your own way is to walk by yourself If you come out, others will sometimes lead you to the eggplant field."

Wu Xiaojun got angry and said angrily, "I am not as good as you in business, I will believe you whatever you say, but you are not as good as me in housework, and you are not qualified to tell me how to do things. You taught me how to do it."

Zhu Chunyan and Bai Lingyan saw that the two brothers started to quarrel when they met, and they were embarrassed for a while. Zhu Chunyan hurriedly said, "Xiaojun, don't be angry. It's my sister-in-law who talks too much. I shouldn't have said these things to you. Your brother just doesn't want to be so angry." mind."

Wu Xiaojun got up and said to Zhu Chunyan, "Lingyan and I didn't plan to turn to you, and I thought it was inappropriate for Lingyan to not come back for so long. Now that we have been to your place, we won't stay any longer."

The two came to their home by car overnight, and broke up when they met. Zhu Chunyan also felt very boring and helpless, so she had to say with a cold face, "Since you want to leave, go back first, I won't keep you either. "

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan went to see Wu Xiaosen happily, but they didn't expect such an ending, and felt very uncomfortable.The most difficult thing for him to accept was that Wu Xiaosen and his wife had taken the wrong medicine. They were so concerned about the affairs of the elder brother Wu Xiaofu's family, but they were full of complaints about their parents. It seemed that they really shouldn't be here this time. Come.

The two hired an electric car and took them directly to the wheat field at the entrance of the village.

Seeing his father Wu Pingshun hunched over and using a fork at the stall, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan walked up a few steps and called "Father" and "Uncle" "We are at the stall, we are back."

Wu Pingshun was in the stall with a lot of thoughts, when he heard someone calling him from behind, he stopped slowly, turned around and saw Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan, and said with a sad face, "They are all back!" Then he put down the fork handle in his hand, He bowed his head and walked to the sidelines, squatted down, took out a cigarette and lit it, silently.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but my father is obviously much thinner and older, his complexion is yellow, he has no energy, and he is very distressed. He asked in a deep voice, "Father, how is our wheat harvest?"

"Just cut more than two acres, this is the first time."

"Has my third brother come back?"

"Who has seen him, and he hasn't come back once in spring! Your mother is at home, you two go back first, I will go back after I finish the rest."

Wu Xiaojun could tell that his father was unhappy, there must be something wrong here, and it was inconvenient for him to ask in front of Bai Lingyan when he just came back, so he could only say, "Okay then, we two will go home now."

When I entered the house, my mother was cooking in the kitchen.According to the customs of the local people, breakfast is eaten after doing the morning work, usually around ten o'clock.Lunch is around two o'clock, and dinner is after dark.

Wu Xiaojun was not surprised that his parents hadn't had breakfast yet.

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan walked into the kitchen and said to their mother, "Mom, Lingyan and I are back, you and my father haven't eaten yet!"

Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Xiao Jun seemed to have seen a savior, she gave a wry smile, and said incoherently, "You two came back just in time, now your father and I don't have to worry about our family's wheat getting back. Lah. Have you seen your father? That old man is having a fight with me. We haven’t spoken for ten days. If you don’t come back this time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see me again next time. If I die, you The third brother and your eldest sister must eat you up."

Bai Lingyan didn't understand what Xiao Junniang meant, and she didn't care, so she helped her carry the steamed buns, dishes and soup to the main room and put them away.

Listening to his mother's inexplicable remarks, Wu Xiaojun seemed to understand everything in his heart.My father is physically and mentally exhausted and old, which is completely different from before. My mother's hair is much grayer, her face is yellow and thin, and her voice is hoarse. It's related to marriage. I don't know what happened at home during this time.
