life struggle

Wu Xiaojun's face turned red, not knowing the meaning of Bai Lingyan's words, he said a little embarrassedly, "What kind of flower protector, I just met by chance, helping others is the right thing to do, when people are in trouble, help if you can, Not worth mentioning. 【 】Almost forgot, I haven’t eaten breakfast for a long time, if you haven’t eaten, let’s go to the Chrysanthemum Department Store and have a bowl of donkey broth.”

Bai Lingyan smiled, "You're quite modest, you forget yourself, you're very generous, good job. Let's go, I'll treat you to some soup today."

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and with the breeze flying in the sky like goose feathers, a thick layer has been laid on the ground, and the buildings on the trees facing the street are all covered in silver.The fast pace of the whole street suddenly seemed to go back in time. Everything slowed down. Pedestrians were cautious, and some cyclists had to push forward with difficulty, lest they accidentally fall, and the windshield wipers of the driving car would not Stopping and swinging back and forth, wiping off the snow and ice that blocked the driver's sight, the car had to be put in the lowest gear and staggered forward.

Snowflakes fell on her face, feeling as cold as ice, Bai Lingyan put the down jacket hat on her head, the velvet rope hidden in the brim of the hat was tied under the mouth with a slipknot, only revealing a handsome face .Worried about the slippery road, the two walked side by side on the snow, walked for about ten minutes to the Donkey Broth Restaurant, and sat down opposite each other at a small table.Bai Lingyan rubbed her hands together for a while to build up some heat, loosened the velvet rope, and pushed the hat to the back of her neck, feeling much more relaxed.

Soup and pancakes came quickly.The steaming hot donkey meat soup in the bowl raises wisps of white smoke in the cold winter.Wu Xiaojun blew lightly a few times, tried to drink a couple of sips, raised his head slightly, looked at Bai Lingyan who was putting pancakes into the soup, and sighed repeatedly, "It smells so good, the soup tastes like It is different from others, especially pure fragrance."

Bai Lingyan put the cakes on and said with a smile, "It's not the soup that's good, but the donkey. I also make this kind of soup, but there are too few donkeys now, and it's hard to buy authentic donkey meat. Once in a while, It’s not like buying a donkey and killing it to make soup.” An inadvertent sentence instantly brought back Wu Xiaojun’s memories of the past.

Wu Xiaojun looked at Bai Lingyan's movements and expressions when he spoke, and the scene of drinking soup with Qin Meixiang a year ago immediately came to mind.That was the first time she tasted this soup, and she was very curious about everything.I introduced to her the habit of drinking soup in Pingxi with great relish, and Qin Meixiang said lively, cute and full of childishness, "Okay, I'm going to drink the soup you made for me often." She replied, "For you I don’t want to buy a donkey and kill it for a meal of soup.” She asked herself bluntly, “You’re implying that I’m not even worth a donkey. If it’s your sweetheart, I wonder if you cut a piece What about giving him the heart to eat the meat on his body?" The past is vivid in my eyes, and I still hear the words in my ears, but Yi Ren has gone away, things are different, and today is not what it used to be. can be said.

Seeing that Wu Xiaojun was suddenly preoccupied, Bai Lingyan lowered her head with a sad face and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so dazed? What's on your mind?"

Wu Xiaojun sighed softly, "It's nothing, just watching you suddenly think of your girlfriend Qin Meixiang who doesn't know where."

"Last night you said that your girlfriend's family was ruined, and she disappeared without a trace and left you without a message. I was surprised. Seeing that you were sad, I didn't have the nerve to ask, can you tell me what's going on. "

"I always try my best to forget about this matter, but the more it is like this, the more it is cut off, and the reasons are still chaotic. She has always been connected with me, and has always been with me. Except for half of my fellow villager Shao Yingying, who knows Besides, I have never mentioned it to the second person, and it has always been like a huge stone pressing on my heart, stuffy in my heart, and I have nowhere to tell. Anyway, you are not an outsider, so it doesn’t matter if you talk about it.”

After Wu Xiaojun finished telling the past, Bai Lingyan burst into tears, "The story of your two loyal and unswerving love is so touching and admirable. If it weren't for the sudden change in Mei Xiang's family, you will definitely become the two of you in the future." An enviable family with a successful career, harmony and beauty, happiness and well-being. It’s a pity that Meixiang suffered a lot. She gave up her studies halfway and her future is uncertain. Miracles will happen, Mei Xiang may go to another place to reflect on the past quietly, and as time goes by, she will forget the sadness and sorrow, cheer up, turn a new page, and return to you. Be pessimistic, To say something you don’t like to hear, she must have made up her mind and made this decision after a series of ideological struggles. You must also be prepared for the worst. Once the fate is over, everything will come to an end and become your long-term dream A passing passerby and an episode on the road of life. So, don’t be stuck in the past, get out of the shadows and do what you want to do.”

"Easier said than done, I just hope that a miracle will appear sooner. I obey the heavens but not the people. If the heavens arrange, I will bear it. If people trample on me, I will fight." Wu Xiaojun lowered his head and said something sad, and suddenly realized that, The soup in the bowl was already cold, and he said with a wry smile, "Look, look, we were so busy talking, we even forgot to drink the soup, it's already cold, so we should just change it."

Bai Lingyan took a sip, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "It's cold in winter, so it will be cold in a while. Pour out the soup and add some more."

The two changed their soup and were about to bow their heads to drink when Wu Xiaojun saw Shao Yingying walking out of the Chrysanthemum Department Store alone with an umbrella in his hand and a sweater bag, standing on the steps in front of the door, looking forward and to both sides , slowly opened the umbrella in his hand and walked towards this side.

There is only a road about ten meters wide apart, and there are not many people in the soup restaurant. Shao Yingying can see herself when she looks up.

Wu Xiaojun quickly stood up and shouted to her, "Yingying, come here quickly, and take shelter from the snow here."

Shao Yingying took a look at Wu Xiaojun, walked over gently, and met Bai Lingyan's eyes, feeling a little embarrassed and at a loss for a moment, then stood at the entrance of the soup restaurant and asked in a low voice, "You two are drinking soup here, is it morning?" The meal is still at noon, you can drink it, I won't go in and disturb you."

"It's okay, come in and sit for a while, and we'll go back together when the snow falls."

"It's not suitable for me to go in, like a light bulb, it will spoil the elegance of both of you." Then he turned his head and left.

Wu Xiaojun saw that Shao Yingying's expression was wrong, and his words were thorny, he took two steps forward, stood in front of Shao Yingying, and said in a pleading tone, "Yingying, you are really thinking too much, you are making things out of nothing, wait a moment , don't rush to leave."

Shao Yingying stared and said, "Why stop me? We had a long talk last night, and we ate in pairs this morning. How pleasant it is. When the water is boiling, is it appropriate for you to leave someone there alone? It's not your Wu Xiaojun's style of life. I won't say anything else, I just want to remind you that you must be real, sincere and kind, and always have a sister Meixiang in your heart."

Wu Xiaojun laughed and said, "Yingzi, you really misunderstood. It's not what you imagined at all. It's safer for the two of you to walk with each other in a while. You can ask her to know what's going on today."

Shao Yingying looked up at the dense snowflakes floating in the sky, then lowered her head and wiped the snow on the ground with her feet, and said angrily, "Drunkards don't mean to drink, it's because you didn't bring umbrellas, you are worried that people will walk in the wind and snow It hurts to suffer from the cold, she knows how to care about girls, a passionate seed. I am too lazy to talk to you because of sister Meixiang, and I will take care of your emotions and face in front of her for you."

Bai Lingyan saw that the two were standing in the snow and hadn't come back. After drinking the soup and putting on their hats, Bai Lingyan walked out and said with a smile, "It's snowing so much outside, why can't you get in while you're outside? Jun, I see you are almost Santa Claus."

Wu Xiaojun smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go back to school quickly, the two of you holding hands and holding an umbrella."

Bai Lingyan asked, "What should you do?"

Shao Yingying said angrily, "Don't worry about him, don't pay attention to him, let him go back under the snow to clear his mind and taste the cold."

Bai Lingyan knew that the two of them were relatively close, and Shao Yingying was joking with Wu Xiaojun when she said that, so she didn't care, so she took her arm and looked down at her feet as she walked towards the school.Wu Xiaojun has no umbrella, no luggage, and no baggage. Except for the snowflakes constantly rushing towards him, he puts his hands in his trouser pockets and feels at ease.

Not long after, the three of them walked to Da'an Road, a side street in front of the school gate.

Seeing that there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, Wu Xiaojun suddenly had an idea, smiled knowingly, stepped on the snow and walked to the front of the two, set up a posture to make a few skis, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it hard towards the two of them. In the distance, Bai Lingyan and Shao Yingying giggled.Wu Xiaojun then turned behind the two, grabbed two handfuls of pure white snow and tiptoedly sprinkled them into the crevice formed by Shao Yingying's pink scarf.

Shao Yingying and Bai Lingyan looked down at the road and talked and walked forward with a smile. Suddenly, they felt wet and cold at the back of their heads. They touched the snow with their hands lightly. When they turned around and saw Wu Xiaojun smiling triumphantly, they immediately understood that it was He made a fool of himself, and said with a sullen face, "Xiaojun, you are playing tricks behind your back. You are not pure and bad. How could you put snow on the back of my head and cool me to death. Lingyan, show me quickly." Bai Lingyan Turning her head and looking sideways, she giggled and said, "Yingying, your senses are too insensitive, there are too many scarves on it, it's already been put in half a circle, and it's almost left out of the mouth, Xiaojun's movements are also true. It's so gentle, you didn't even feel when it was released."

Shao Yingying hurriedly untied the scarf, shook it lightly, and all the snow fell to the bottom. Angrily, she threw the umbrella on the ground, bent down, grabbed the snow and threw it towards her face.Wu Xiaojun slapped flowers all around, swayed his body and said to Shao Yingying with a playful smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't hit it, I flew away, sad, sad." Seeing that Shao Yingying was a little anxious, she grabbed it from the ground again and raised her eyebrows. Standing aimlessly, he trotted towards Wu Xiaojun.

Taking advantage of Wu Xiaojun's teasing with Shao Yingying, Bai Lingyan picked up the umbrella from the ground, closed it, and quietly walked behind him, grabbed a handful of snow and put it in the collar of his open jacket.Wu Xiaojun felt a sudden chill on the back of his neck, and before he could turn around to see what happened, Shao Yingying was already in front of him.
