life struggle

The journey was smooth and the bus arrived at Yuanzhen Station around [-]:[-] pm. 【 】

The two got out of the car, Luo Xiao took Wu Xiaojun to a nearby department store, and bought some daily necessities, a pair of Sanhua cigarettes and a down jacket for elderly women.After exiting the gate of the shopping mall, Luo Xiao said with a smile on his face, "Xiaojun, take back the cigarettes and down jacket, it's my sympathy for my uncle and aunt." As he spoke, he handed both hands to Wu Xiaojun.

"Sister Xiao, no, no, I can't take this with you, you should take it back."

"Seeing that your head is shaking like a rattle, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, I didn't buy it for you, I asked you to bring it to the elders. We Luo's and Shao's are not too troublesome to you. You and Yingzi are here Together, there will be more times when you need to take care of me in the future. What's wrong, do you still live like this with me?"

"It's inappropriate. If you don't have any relatives and don't have any reason, how can they want your things." Wu Xiaojun said nothing.

"Whether it is suitable or not, if you say that you are close, you can get close, if you have a relationship, you can bring a relationship, I think it is suitable. Where did you usually run away, and why did you become a mother-in-law? Be obedient, take it quickly, or I will I'm going to be angry."

"Don't be angry, I'll take it. I'm worried that if you say you bought it, they will think in the wrong way again."

"Remember what I said, let everything come naturally, think about it when you should think about it, and think about it when you shouldn't think about it."

Wu Xiaojun took the things embarrassingly, and the two found a public phone booth. Luo Xiao picked up the phone and called home. The call was connected soon, and it was Dad Luo Wen who answered the phone.

Luo Wen knew that the girl would be back these two days, and was very happy. He cleaned up the house early yesterday morning and prepared Luo Xiao's favorite dishes. He stayed at home all day without going anywhere, watching TV and waiting for the girl's call.In the evening, I received a call from Chen Jie, saying that Wu Xiaojun had gone to Luo Xiao's place, and when he asked if he had returned, he praised Wu Xiaojun for his meticulous consideration, and after going around a long way, he proposed that he and Luo Xiao To her home for the New Year.

Luo Wen waited from day to night, and from night to midnight, but never received a call from Luo Xiao. He became nervous and anxious, thinking over and over why Luo Xiao hadn't heard from him and what Chen Jie had mentioned, lying on the bed and tossing and falling asleep. no.I'm not very worried about Luo Xiao having Wu Xiaojun to take care of each other. The main reason is that I can't make up my mind whether to go to Chen Jie's place or not.It wasn't until noon the next day when I saw Pingyuan's noon newsletter that I felt the seriousness of the problem. I made three consecutive phone calls to the County Transportation Bureau to find out the situation, but there was no result whether Luo Xiao and Wu Xiaojun were in the accident car, so I had to lie down. On the sofa, continue to watch the phone.When the phone rang, he hurriedly picked it up and asked eagerly, "Is it Xiao Xiao? Where are you and Xiaojun now? Do you know that a car had an accident in Ji County last night?"

Luo Xiao felt that his father already knew the news of the car accident, so he whispered to Wu Xiaojun, "My father asked us if we knew that a car had an accident in our county, what should we say?"

Wu Xiaojun immediately crawled into Luo Xiao's ear and whispered, "I didn't hear that there was a car accident on the road. I'm getting on the train at Yuanzhen Station to go home. You will pick me up at the station in half an hour."

After making the phone call, Luo Xiaochong Wu Xiaojun pursed his lips and smiled, "You are really a thief, you are very cunning, I have to put a question mark on what you said in the future, whether it is true or not, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will go in and deceive you gone."

"You can't give me such a big hat. This is called a white lie. Sometimes you have to do it. Think about it, your old man was already worried about your delay in returning. If you put the truth in your head My son came out trembling, he still had to worry terribly, maybe he would become anxious. Don't make your father wait too long, get in the car quickly. "

Watching Luo Xiao take the bus to Mingjiu Town, Wu Xiaojun hailed an electric tricycle and returned home when it was getting late.

At home, the third brother Wu Xiaojun was talking nervously with his father Wu Pingshun and his mother.Seeing Wu Xiaojun come back, everyone was stunned for a long time.Wu Xiaojun hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you?"

With tears in her excited eyes, Mrs. Xiaojun complained, "It was said on TV that a car in our county had an accident in our county. Your brother was worried and came back to take a look. He hadn't seen him all afternoon. Your trace, why did you go, don't come back sooner."

"Hey, I thought something was wrong. The schools were just on holiday, and there were many people at the train station. I didn't get the tickets for the previous few days. I got on the bus at [-] o'clock this morning. I was afraid that you were in a hurry and got off in the county. I rushed back. There is nothing to worry about, I am fine."

"What's the matter with the bag on your forehead?" Wu Pingshun asked helplessly while smoking a cigarette.

"When I got on the train this morning, there were quite a lot of people. I accidentally bumped into the train door. It didn't hurt or itch."

"Father, a few days ago, I saw that down jackets were cheaper at the night market near the school, so I bought one for my mother. I didn't buy anything else in the county town, so I brought you a pack of cigarettes." Said He smiled and handed it to the second elder, and sat beside Xiaosen.

"I don't care about down jackets. They're old and awkward. It's a waste of money." Xiaojun's wife bowed her head and said with a mournful face.

Wu Xiaojun knew his parents' habits, and every time he came back, he had to ask the bottom line until he was sure that nothing happened.Seeing their extremely worried expressions, he didn't dare to say a word at all, let alone mention Luo Xiao, for he was afraid that as long as he mentioned it, he would definitely ask endless questions, and maybe a word that was missed would be enough for the two elders. I couldn't sleep well for several days and nights.One more thing is worse than one less thing. Sometimes a white lie is more important than anything else, which can save a lot of misunderstandings and troubles. He also lied to his parents.

"Xiaojun, have you heard from Qin Meixiang during this time? Has she visited you?" Xiaojun's mother never forgot Qin Meixiang, so she came up to ask.

"There's never been any news. During this period of time, I was only busy reviewing exams and class affairs, and almost forgot about her." Wu Xiaojun said lightly.

"Some time ago, there were a lot of gossip in the county, all of which had their noses and eyes, but no one knew whether it was true or not." Wu Xiaosen, who had always seldom spoke, continued.

"Brother, let's hear what you have to say."

"What did you say that the mayor's family was scared and disappeared, the dean's family was forced to jump into the pit, and the mayor's family was working in the south; some said that the mayor's wife went crazy and fell from upstairs and fell to her death, her daughter ran to another place and was killed, and corrupt officials Completely received retribution; more mysteriously, the sacrifice of one, a happy family, the president's wife went abroad with a huge sum of money, the mayor's wife pretended to be crazy and took her daughter to other places to do business with the money, etc. .”

Wu Xiaojun knew that Qin Meixiang was fine now, so he pretended to be calm and said, "These are just people's mouths after dinner, it's nothing to say. Only the person involved knows the actual situation."
