Chapter 13
The peaceful town becomes bustling with the coming of the New Year. People hang red lanterns, cut window grilles, paste Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, make offerings, pay New Year’s greetings, visit relatives, and enjoy the festive atmosphere wherever they go.

All of this has nothing to do with Xingye, she closed the door early on New Year's Eve.I made dumplings by myself, and then watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV in a daze. The show was wonderful but I couldn’t lift my spirits, so I should turn off the TV and go to sleep.

This is the saddest New Year that Xingye has ever lived since he was sensible.

Du Meiling was very angry at Luo Xingye's contempt for her. After returning home, she heard that her parents Luo Xingye had also become an orphan, while Hui Ye failed to go to university, and even injured others and went to jail to make money for Xingye's mother. Unknowingly, it turned into a wave of resentment.

When she was in school, she was precocious and had a crush on Luo Huiye, but Luo Huiye was as ignorant as a piece of wood. Everyone in the town knew that Xingye was just an oil bottle brought by her mother. Ye Dai is better than her own sister, if Hui Ye is such a good person, if it weren't for how their mother and daughter ended up like this, she would still dare to laugh at herself arrogantly.

Thinking of my own life is filled with hatred again, Luo Xingye, you laugh at me, if you look at me like me, can you still laugh?

Xingye looked at Du Meiling who was sitting in front of her talking boastfully, and really experienced this woman's thick skin again.There was smoke on his head when he was obviously so angry that time, and in a blink of an eye, he could chat affectionately as if nothing had happened.Anyone with eyes could tell that he didn't want to talk to her, and she still came to him again and again as if she couldn't feel it.

"How will you live in the future with no one to rely on?" Seeing that Xingye could not answer, Du Meiling continued: "Let's see this, how about I help you find a job in the company I work for?"

Xingye's eyes widened. Sure enough, this was the real purpose of her coming here again and again regardless of her indifference.

Du Meiling saw Xingye had a reaction and thought she was moved, so she concealed the secret joy in her heart, and tried harder to persuade: "Our company is a big company, if you go, you will be a high-level white-collar worker who earns a lot of money. White-collar, right? That’s synonymous with high-level employees. With a talent like your sister, you can earn thousands of dollars a month without any problem.”

"A nightclub is also considered a big company, and being a stage lady is also considered a senior white-collar worker, ha, such rhetoric is really new." Hearing her nonsense, Xingye couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Du Meiling was frightened by Xingye's words and lost her smiling face, and said bravely, "I don't understand what sister Xingye said about being a lady or not. We are a foreign company, and the treatment is good."

"I don't understand? Don't you work as a lady in a nightclub? A foreign company? The toilet cleaners in foreign companies have to have a college diploma. You haven't graduated from middle school, right? What can you do?"

"How did you know? I..." Du Meiling blushed, and immediately regretted saying something wrong, which was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Xingye's words.

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing, haven't you heard this saying? Do you think that Luojiazhai is far away from the provincial capital, so no one can know? Besides, you can guess it just by looking at your clothes. Probably, people don't know how to talk about it behind their backs, but some people who don't have a brain can't get away with a few compliments, and they are complacent, which is funny." Xingye's words were a bit mean, but what she pursued was to follow What kind of person said what kind of words, she thought she was being polite to Du Meiling.

Since Du Meiling heard what Xingye said about the leather skirt, she no longer wears that skirt. Although people may not know it, but she feels the same in her heart. Today she is wearing a silver-gray open-necked short coat, and her lower body is black leggings. Black leather boots, and a black low-necked net sweater inside, revealing a large white neck and a little collarbone, the exposed skin in winter is particularly eye-catching.If you wear it like this in a big city, people will think it's nothing fashionable, but in this small town, people will think it's weird. In the words of my grandma, it's like a vixen.

Du Meiling subconsciously tightened the collar of her coat, and Xingye's words completely removed her cover, revealing the worry and inferiority in her heart clearly. Could it be that someone found her in the provincial capital? Could it be such a coincidence?

"I don't know that that tongue-in-cheek is talking nonsense to you, what's the matter?" Du Meiling retorted and vetoed.

"Chunguang Nightclub" Xingye just coldly mentioned the nightclub she was in, immediately leaving Du Meiling speechless.

Looking at Xingye's contemptuous eyes, he knew that no matter how much he tried to evade, it was useless.

"Sister Xingye!" Du Meiling burst into tears before saying a word, "You don't know how much I have suffered in the past few years. I can't find a job without a degree. I wash dishes for others in restaurants and get bullied by the boss. , I have no choice but to eat this bowl of rice, I..."

Xingye interrupted her unceremoniously, "It's up to you what you want to eat. I'm not that talkative, but you shouldn't think about harming others anymore. The job you want to introduce to me is not to talk to me. You are the same, although we are not relatives, but we grew up in a small town after all, why do you feel at ease?"

The more Xingye talked, the angrier she became, but the more Du Meiling listened, the more her heart became colder. She thought she was a soft-hearted little girl, she complained to herself, and coaxed her more. Why did she get involved without saying a few words?Immediately put away tears, pretending to be surprised.

"Sister Xingye, I want to help you, but I don't have any evil intentions. I am pitiful enough myself, how can I hurt you again! Me too..."

Seeing her face change quickly, Xingye thought to herself that this is the Du Meiling she knew very well.

"It's useless to talk too much. Let's go. I won't tell you about you. Don't come to me again."

Xingye looked unwilling to talk anymore, so Du Meiling had no choice but to leave resentfully.

Du Meiling was still afraid that Xingye would spread her story, so she packed up and returned to the provincial capital the next day.I went there and didn’t come back for a few years. Later, I contacted my family on the phone and learned that my family didn’t know about me, so I was sure that Xingye really didn’t say anything, and brought her boyfriend home again to show off for the New Year.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month Uncle Luo brought the young couple Qingliang to the house. The two parties signed the written receipt and paid two thousand and four hundred yuan for two years' rent in one lump sum.

Xingye returned the 400 yuan to Qingliang and his wife, asking them to take good care of the house and not let it run down.Qingliang and his wife saw that Xingye was clean and tidy, and this time they felt that they were honest people, so they agreed happily, promising that they would take care of their own family.

The next morning, Xingye left Luojiazhai with simple luggage on her back. No one saw her off, because she didn't tell anyone. She woke up early and silently cleaned the house again. Xingye locked the door and left without looking back.

If you want to take a car, you have to go to the county seat first, go to the station to buy a ticket, and check that the time is still plenty, Xingye decides to go to the same place with Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang saw that Xingye was carrying her luggage and knew that she was going to go far away. She didn't know when she would be able to come back after this trip. Thinking that it was her first time going out as a little girl, she couldn't help worrying about her, so she could only tell her to take good care of her. Take care of your body, take care of your finances, and be careful with strangers...

After Xiaolei knew that Xingye was going to leave, he kept sullen and unhappy. Although Xingye promised again and again that he would come back to see him soon, Xiaolei just kept sullen and didn't speak.

There was no other way but the time was running out, Xingye had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Xiaolei followed her silently, no matter how much she persuaded her, she would not go back, so Grandma Wang had no choice but to follow her to the station.

Fortunately, Wang's house was not far from the station, but when she was about to check the ticket and enter the station, Xiaolei hugged her waist and burst into tears.

"Sister Xingye, don't leave like mother and never come back."

Xingye understands Xiaolei's entanglement. People keep telling him that his mother is away from home. In his impression, she will never come back when she goes away. Xiaolei is afraid that she will disappear in his life just like his mother. .

Xingye knelt down and looked at Xiaolei at the same level, and said sincerely: "Xiaolei, I won't come back like your mother, I just went to the provincial capital, you study hard at home, when you grow into a man, my grandma and I will have more It depends on your protection, you know?"

Xiaolei stared at Xingye with his big eyes that were red from crying, and Xingye smiled sincerely at him.

"Sister, you promise." Xiaolei said seriously.

"Okay, I promise I will come back to see Xiaolei soon." Xingye said equally seriously.

When Xingye's figure disappeared at the ticket gate, Xiaolei was still crying and waving goodbye to her.

Xingye's destination is not where the grandfather's house is, but the provincial capital three hundred kilometers away, where there are relatives that Xingye wants to see more.

Brother, I'm here to see you.
