life struggle

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan watched Ge Wenling step into the car, lost sight of them in a blink of an eye, and walked unsteadily along the Pingwan Avenue in front of the college towards the Wanzuo Grottoes.

Bai Lingyan said with emotion, "Looking at how chic Ge Wenling is, she works smoothly, dresses well, eats well, and drives a car. I can live a relaxed and happy life like her anytime soon."

Wu Xiaojun said with a smile, "I have red eye disease. Since you are envious of her, you should redouble your efforts and work hard towards her. However, she can be what she is today due to many factors. Some people are born with this condition, Some people's hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper."

Bai Lingyan pouted and said, "You have a crow's mouth, you can't say a good word, I'm no worse than her, I don't believe she won't be better in the future."

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "Don't tell me, you really don't have many advantages of Ge Wenling, and you can't learn them even if you want to. It's okay if you don't accept it."

Bai Lingyan said lightly, "That's true. She knows people well when she meets her. I really can't learn the character of saying what she says when I see someone. It doesn't have much to do with us, even if we graduate in the future. , and there will be no communication."

While speaking, the entrance of the Wanzuo Grottoes was right in front of him, Wu Xiaojun asked, "Have you ever been in the scenic spot, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Bai Lingyan said, "I went in with a few classmates the year before last. They were all statues in caves and niches, and I couldn't understand them. It's nothing interesting. Why don't you stop by to see the mountains and waters?"

Wu Xiaojun said, "I came here with a few fellow villagers in the spring of my freshman year. Since you don't want to go in, you don't go in, and you can save dozens of dollars in tickets."

The Wanzuo Grottoes are commonly called by the locals. The real name is Yimen Grottoes, one of the world-famous grottoes. Flowing by, looking from a distance, it looks like a natural gate.Because the stone quality is good and suitable for carving, the ancients chose this place to build grottoes. The caves and niches on the cliffs of the east and west mountains on both sides of the bank are dotted around like a beehive. It is a tourist attraction for literati and ink tourists.

Yique Bridge spans Yishui. It is a stone arch bridge built in the 50s. The channel is also a large bridge between the southwestern exit and the main line traffic.

The two walked along Pingwan Avenue above the entrance of the scenic spot to the top of the Yique Bridge. Standing on the stone arch bridge and leaning on the railing, the autumn is crisp and sunny, and the green hills in the distance are picturesque, full of greenery, continuous mountains and blue sky. Reflecting each other, the mountains on both sides of the strait are like walls, and the mountain walls are covered with high and low, large and small shrines and Buddha caves, like a beehive.The willows are blowing gently, fluttering with the wind, gracefully showing people their charming demeanor.Yishui River flows quietly, with gentle breeze, rippling microwaves, and thin mist floating on the water surface, covering tourists in the distance looming, as if in a painting and like a fairyland.

Bai Lingyan was very relaxed and comfortable, like a very lively and free little girl, intoxicated by the charming mountains and rivers, delighted for a while, and suddenly said with a smile, "Xiaojun, close your eyes, relax, and look for something interesting." How does it feel?"

Following her instructions, Wu Xiaojun slowly closed his eyes, and said after a while, "Listen quietly to the faint bells in the distance, echoing in the green mountains and clear waters, and there is a feeling of slanting wind and drizzle that does not return."

Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "I feel this way too. It's so beautiful. Really, I haven't felt this way for a long time. Suddenly, I feel a little ecstatic."

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "During this period of time, I found that you have suddenly become smaller and much happier."

Bai Lingyan smiled sweetly, "That's natural, let's go to the other side of the river to have a look." As she spoke, Xiao Niao Yiren grabbed Wu Xiaojun's arm.

The two of them got off the bridge in an ambiguous manner. They didn't go far. They were looking up at the corner of the slightly exposed ancient temple on the middle of the mountain, when they suddenly heard someone behind them say, "Lao Luo, those two young people who passed by just now, what do you think of the young man's back?" You look like a soldier!"

"Do you have a mental problem? You talk about serving the army, serving the army all day long. Wherever you go, the young man looks like serving the army. How could such a coincidence happen here?"

"Old Luo, I read it right this time. It must be him. Take a closer look."

The two sitting on the side of the road talking were Luo Xiao's father, Luo Wen, and Shao Yingying's mother, Chen Jie.

Wu Xiaojun heard someone talking, turned his head involuntarily, met Luo Wen's eyes, his whole body felt like an electric shock, his face changed drastically, oh my god, why are they two, this is fatal.He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and abruptly withdrew his hand from Bai Lingyan's waist, walked quickly towards Luo Wen and Chen Jie, forced a smile and asked, "Uncle Luo, Auntie, why are you two here?"

Luo Wen hurriedly stood up and said in surprise, "Xiaojun, it's really you. Just now your Aunt Chen said it was you, I still don't believe it!"

Chen Jie always thought about Wu Xiaojun in her heart. Every time Shao Yingying went home, she always asked questions and nagged non-stop. Although Shao Yingying was upset, she didn't want her heartbroken mother to worry about her anymore, so she just dealt with it without pain or itching. .The more Shao Yingying was like this, the more suspicious Chen Jie felt, especially since he had never seen Wu Xiaojun come to his house for a long time, and he was even more worried. He repeatedly asked Shao Yingying if she was having trouble, and Shao Yingying insisted, "No, he has a lot of things to do. Time, I'll come back to see you after a while" shirked.

Chen Jie was shocked when she saw Wu Xiaojun and a beautiful girl passing by intimately. She didn't want to believe that the young man was Wu Xiaojun, but she was eager to see Wu Xiaojun.

Wu Xiaojun stood in front of Chen Jie, Chen Jie's doubtful mood just now turned cold, and he sat stiffly on the ground, streaming tears.

Wu Xiaojun called out respectfully, "Auntie!"

Chen Jie didn't seem to hear it, and still sat there without moving.

Wu Xiaojun raised his voice and called again, "Auntie!"

Chen Jie glanced at Wu Xiaojun with an ugly face, "Are you really serving the army?"

Luo Wen said from the side, "What's the matter with you, you were talking about Xiaojun happily just now, you are happy that Xiaojun is in front of you!"

Only then did Chen Jie wipe the tears off her face with her hands, and said with a choked voice, "I'm happy, happy!" Standing up slowly from the ground.

Bai Lingyan was looking up at the mountain with great interest, when she was suddenly pushed away by Wu Xiaojun, who disappeared in a blink of an eye, but ran in front of two strangers, feeling very unhappy, walked up to Wu Xiaojun, and said angrily, "Xiaojun, you made a mistake. Are you crazy, you didn't even say hello, you threw me aside like a rabbit and you ran away."

Chen Jie, with mixed feelings in her heart, was looking at Wu Xiaojun. Hearing that Bai Lingyan spoke to him in a different tone, she looked at her blankly.

Afraid of embarrassment, Wu Xiaojun hurriedly introduced them one by one with a smile, "This is my Uncle Luo, Aunt Chen, and this is my classmate Bai Lingyan. Taking advantage of the good weather today, some cadres from the internship team of our affiliated college came here for an outing. I didn't expect to meet you here." He said and gave Bai Lingyan a look.

Bai Lingyan didn't know who the two rural people in front of her were, and she didn't know what their relationship was. Seeing Wu Xiaojun's nonsense making up excuses to fool the two of them, she couldn't argue with it, so she followed Wu Xiaojun's intentions and said generously with a smile, " Ah, it turned out to be Uncle and Auntie, sorry, sorry, I was a little disrespectful to you two just now because I was so angry with the army, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Luo Wen hurriedly said, "Girl, it's nothing, nothing. Your aunt and I have nothing to do, just walk around and serve the army. We've all changed in the vicinity, so let's go back now, you guys continue to play!"

Wu Xiaojun was afraid to show his mouth for a while, so he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so Chen Po got off the donkey, "Uncle, Auntie, we still have a few students ahead, so I won't accompany you two today, I will go back to see you some other day." Signal Bai Lingyan to leave.

Chen Jie suddenly said, "Xiaojun, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Wu Xiaojun followed Chen Jie for more than 20 meters, and asked solemnly, "Xiaojun, tell auntie the truth, what is going on between you and Yingzi? What is the relationship between this white girl and you?"

What Wu Xiaojun was most worried about and didn't want to mention came, and his brain was spinning rapidly. It seems that Yingzi didn't tell Chen Jie about the relationship between the two of them. She still doesn't know about herself and Yingzi. After escaping for a while, he said calmly, "Auntie, Yingzi and I are very good, please don't worry, I have planned to go back to see you and Uncle Luo for a long time, and I was busy with the internship, and it was more than 20 years ago when I went home. God, I didn't care about it, Yingzi and I went back to see you after being busy for a while. As for Bai Lingyan, you saw it too, she was startled, like everyone, she likes to joke."

Chen Jie said dubiously, "I'm relieved to say that. I worry about you two all day long. You and Yingzi must not get angry. You will graduate next year. As you know, none of us here I don’t know you. After all, your uncle has been in the factory for so many years. There are many old leaders and colleagues. Contact them in advance to find a suitable unit for Yingzi in the future. We will rest easy. Yidong’s family is fine , your uncle and I plan to go back to Yuanzhen to live for a while, and today we came here to have fun, and in the afternoon we took the train to the city and left directly."

Bai Lingyan and Luo Wen had nothing to say when they met for the first time. Looking at them from a distance, they were whispering non-stop and a little anxious, so they called out casually, "Xiaojun, let's go!"

Chen Jie said reluctantly, "Let's go, Miss Bai is calling you!" Tears flowed down again as she spoke.

Wu Xiaojun responded, "Understood, let's go now." Then he said painfully, "Auntie, you and Uncle Luo must take care of your health and don't miss me and Yingzi." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards Luo Wen, saying sorry , "Uncle, I can't accompany you and auntie, I'm sorry, please don't mind!"

Luo Wen smiled and said, "Xiaojun, you're welcome, Miss Bai is in a hurry, you go! You go!"

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly escaped from the sight of Luo Wen and Chen Jie in fear and trepidation, came to the bottom of a bubbling mountain spring, squatted down, drank a few mouthfuls of spring water, and washed his face vigorously, then stood up, looked at Bai With Lingyan's strange eyes, Mimi smiled, "Let's go, climb the mountain!"
