life struggle

Wu Xiaojun's blood boiled immediately, his eyes were fixed on the lively and lovely child in front of him, and he was about to say something when someone in the room suddenly asked, "Xiaoxiang, who are you talking to?"

Before the words were finished, a middle-aged woman with black hair, ruddy complexion and elegant clothes came out with a smile.

Wu Xiaojun saw that the lady was the mayor's wife who used to be proud and elegant, and Mei Xiang's mother, Zhao Shuting.Over the years, not only has the person remained the same, but he is even more radiant than before.There was a panic in my heart, trembling like a thief, bit the bullet and squeezed out three words from between my teeth, "A-aunt-good!"

Zhao Shuting immediately suppressed her smile, stood inside the door, looked Wu Xiaojun up and down carefully, stared at Qin Meixiang angrily, and said, "Why don't you have a better memory, he is an unwelcome person, and you brought him home Come!"

Qin Meixiang said disdainfully, "Mom, don't look at me with such eyes, don't you also look forward to Xiaojun's return every day!"

Zhao Shuting said sternly, "I hope he will be struck by lightning and thrown into the wild to be eaten by dogs! Quickly make him disappear before my eyes!"

Seeing her mother's sharp words, Qin Meixiang said in a begging tone, "Mom, Xiaojun finally came back, let him come home, we have something to talk about, okay?"

Zhao Shuting was so angry that she couldn't hear Qin Meixiang's words, so she picked up a pair of high heels from the shoe cabinet next to her without saying a word, pushed Qin Meixiang away, rushed to Wu Xiaojun and hit him on the head, cursing non-stop , "Come in, come in, come in your mother's head, I'll kill you, a stinky hooligan who harms people! I'll kill you, an ungrateful bastard! I'll kill you..."

Seeing this situation, Wu Xiaojun was so frightened that his seven orifices smoked and his whole body trembled. He hurriedly turned and dodged aside, but unexpectedly his head hit the wall with a "bang", and he roared "ah" in pain, and woke up.

Wu Xiaojun found out that it was Nan Keyimeng. He didn't know how his head hit the hard iron edge under the glass of the car, and the pain was very uncomfortable.

At this time, the car was in a mess, and people looked out of the car one after another, asking each other, "What's going on, what's going on, where did the car hit?"

After a while, the conductor yelled at the top of his voice, "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, the car was slid into the dirt pit on the side of the road and couldn't get out, please all men go down and push the car. Don't waste time, everyone Be conscious."

Wu Xiaojun covered his forehead with one hand, stood up from his seat with his teeth bared, followed the other passengers to get out of the car, quietly stood aside and looked around. This is a place where the two counties meet. shop.The road construction construction on the dirt road beside the asphalt road formed a 50-meter-long water strip, covered with a thick layer of ice, and rushed to the side of the nearly one-meter-deep pit. The front of the car rushed into the pit, but fortunately the driver was well controlled rollover.

More than 20 big men pushed the car up from the pit with great effort. It was really an accident, and they were in a hurry. No one complained.Wu Xiaojun got into the car and saw a 25-year-old woman sitting in her seat, coaxing a crying three-year-old boy in her arms. Stand on the aisle.

The woman stood up embarrassedly holding the baby, "Brother, you should sit down!"

"Sister, it's inconvenient for you to hold the baby, sit down, sit down, it doesn't matter if I stand up."

Wu Xiaojun gave up his seat out of kindness, but he was unlucky. He stood on the aisle and was so crowded that he couldn't stand upright or squat down. Hip.I didn't feel anything at first, but after a long time, I felt really uncomfortable and a bit overwhelmed, but I couldn't change it.He wholeheartedly hoped that the car could drive faster, even if this painful journey ended a second earlier, it would be the greatest enjoyment.

This car can be called a veritable classic car. Not only was the wind blowing from all sides along the way, it also took up tire blowouts, oil leaks, and detours.

Wu Xiaojun got out of the car with his luggage on his tired body, stood firm, took a deep breath, stretched his waist, and was about to lift his legs to move forward when he froze.Bai Lingyan was holding the small bag on her chest with both hands, her hair was a little disheveled, she was shivering from the cold, standing in front of her expressionlessly.

She stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Lingyan, isn't your elder sister getting married today? When did you get here?"

Bai Lingyan said, "It will be around three o'clock."

Wu Xiaojun asked suspiciously, "What? Who has been waiting for so long?"

Bai Lingyan smiled wryly, "I'll wait for you!"

Wu Xiaojun said in surprise, "Wait for me! You are not at home at this time, and you came here to wait for me in the cold weather. It is impossible. You are not waiting for someone else, are you?"

Bai Lingyan nodded lightly, "I feel uncomfortable, I don't want to stay at home! I just want to surprise you, let's go!"

Wu Xiaojun said distressedly, "Silly girl, it's the same at school, why bother to freeze like a monkey pounding garlic here."

Bai Lingyan walked out of the house with tears in her eyes, and walked along the village road without looking back. After four or five minutes, a tricycle bound for the county came from behind, and she stopped her hand and got on the car.

Due to a heavy snowfall just a week ago, the mountains and plains are covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, making the already rugged mountain road even more difficult to walk.Bai Lingyan didn't care to appreciate the long-lost snow scene, feeling dizzy, slowly closed her eyes, and let the car shake and bump.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of crackling firecrackers and suona sounded in my ears. Bai Lingyan opened her eyes slightly, and she had already arrived in the town, passing by the door of her eldest sister's house.My heart immediately became tense, and at the same time I felt a sharp pain in my chest. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Zhao Qiang and his girlfriend, who made my heart flustered, and the third aunt who proposed marriage and made noise with my mother, I would have already been in this festive and lively courtyard. Share the happiness and joy of big sister.At this moment, I am like a wounded bird floating on a car facing the wind, combing the messy wings with tears, tidying up the exhausted heart.Enduring the pain and melancholy in her heart, she hurried past with tears in her eyes and returned to Pingxi Coach Station.

Bai Lingyan crossed the avenue in front of the station in a state of anxiety, came to the No. 108 tram, looked up at the huge clock inlaid on the tall pillar in front of the train station, the hour hand just pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, suddenly remembered something, and stopped At this moment, a long-distance bus flashed in front of his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that Wu Xiaojun came back today.

Why don't you go to the station to see if their car has arrived? When you go back, you feel relieved, and you almost trot all the way back to the bus station.

Bai Lingyan

When I came to the parking lot, I carefully looked at the departure directions of all the cars from front to back. When the car I was looking for failed to appear, I let out a sigh of relief.With a sliver of hope in her arms, she strolled to the entrance of the vehicle, facing the whistling north wind, looking at the front of the broad street, eagerly looking forward to the appearance of the target.

The two of them didn't go back to school, but went directly to Bai Lingyan's father.

Wu Xiaojun put down the luggage in his hand, and sat down on the bed, "Come here for a long day, and finally I can catch my breath at the stop. I'm exhausted and hungry, what should we eat?"

"The shops on the street are not open, and you can't find a place to eat when you go out. If you persist for a while, I will light the coal fire!"

"Hey, my aunt, when you light the fire, I'm already dying of hunger. I brought fried fish, meatballs and lean meat from home. I'll eat some to fill my stomach and refresh myself. Then I'll start the fire again. How about some boiling water?"

"To save time, it's better to light the fire first, and then it's not too late to eat slowly."

"Oh, well, I can't stand you!"

Bai Lingyan got a bundle of dry firewood from nowhere, lit the coal stove in the corridor, put in coal briquettes, then went into the house, washed her hands, and said with a smile, "After a while, the fire will come on, and we can cook. "

Wu Xiaojun opened the bag, took out what he had brought to eat, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "With the fire, I don't have to worry about running out of food to eat on an empty stomach." He tore a chicken leg casually, and stuffed it into Bai Lingyan's mouth when she wasn't prepared. In his mouth, "Taste how it tastes!".

Bai Lingyan quickly grabbed the leg bone, took two bites lightly, and smiled slightly, "Not bad, not bad, delicious."

Wu Xiaojun picked up another piece of fish, "How about trying this?"

Bai Lingyan took it, "Don't just let me eat, you eat too, if you don't eat for a day, you will die if you don't eat any more!"

Wu Xiaojun said with a smile, "All right, all right, sit down and let's eat together!"

The two of them were indeed hungry, and what they ate at that time felt particularly delicious.Wu Xiaojun was eating the fish piece carefully with his head down, when Bai Lingyan suddenly said with a smile, "Raise your head and look at me."

Wu Xiaojun raised his head slowly, and met her eyes, "What are you doing!"

Bai Lingyan looked at him affectionately like coaxing a child and said, "Ah... open your mouth!"

Wu Xiaojun opened her mouth obediently, and she picked up a ball and put it directly into his mouth, giggling, "Don't spit it out!"

Wu Xiaojun smiled triumphantly, chewed and said, "Aren't you kidding me!"

"Just kidding!"

"No, I'm at a disadvantage. Open your mouth and let me feed you!"

Bai Lingyan closed her eyes lightly, and opened her mouth slightly. After more than a minute, there was nothing. She slowly opened her eyes, and Wu Xiaojun was looking at herself triumphantly, "I've been fooled! Just kidding!" Son!"

Say, "You're so bad, play me again!"

Bai Lingyan stretched out her hands shyly to push Wu Xiaojun's chest, "Bad, bad, bad... learn from me!"

Wu Xiaojun pushed Bai Lingyan's hand away, and teased her happily, "You're so easy to deceive, I let you fall for it without any effort!" Looking up, the kettle on the coal stove was already buzzing. The sound said, "I'm so happy, don't patronize and play around, the water is already boiling!"

Bai Lingyan stood up, poured a bowl of boiling water for each of them, put them in front of them, sat down again, and asked with concern, "Xiaojun, how do you feel going home? Are you okay?"

"Okay, very good, rare leisure, eating and sleeping like a pig."

"Then, have you forgotten what I told you before the festival?"
