Say goodbye to you before the wedding

Chapter 20 Enough for a Man, I Rarely Like You (2)
"Hmm. Oh, no, no, I didn't believe it."

"Hehe, little sample." He stood up and tapped my forehead with his index finger: "It's impossible to guard against."

No.15 Hometown
This year, my heart was touched by Xia Qiusheng's saying to cherish the living, and I changed my original intention of staying in Beijing for the New Year.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, pack your luggage, carefully close the windows, lock the anti-theft doors, leave all the troubles in Beijing here, and go home to celebrate the New Year.

At the train station, I met a man, Su Su.I ran into it when the conductor was about to check the ticket and enter the station in 15 minutes.During the Spring Festival travel season, Beijing West Railway Station transported tens of thousands of passengers every day. Among the bustling crowd, there were so many people, beautiful and ugly, old and young, how could I recognize her at a glance.

I remember hitting her and saying I would never let this person in my life script again, I broke my word.That's just my wish. I'm not the director of life. There are always a few people in everyone's life that you love and hate, just like the taste of Sichuan hot pot.May I ask, "Han Zhu Ge Ge" does not have the Queen Rong, can you still see it? "The Legend of Zhen Huan" does not have the Queen Concubine Hua. Isn't it interesting to have a school of singing and dancing?In short, a straight line in the electrocardiogram indicates that life is almost over.

Closer to home.

I couldn't avoid her, because the line she was queuing to check the ticket was also the route I had to go home.A royal blue knitted sweater wrapped her thin body, and her hair was coiled into a swirl.The fair little face, facing the sky, has a kind of beauty that has been washed away, and it also smells like Dong Jie.Even in the crowded Spring Festival travel station, it is still as quiet as a lotus.I don't hate her at all, but thank her for bringing me peace that I have never had in this period of time.

She also turned her head to see me, and offered to give up the seat next to me to let me jump in line.

Susu and I are in the same city, but in different counties.Only our county has a train station, where she has to get off and then transfer to go home.

The crowd was moving slowly, and she offered to help me with my luggage, which I declined.

She spoke first: "I know you booked a ticket for today. I asked your colleagues at the front desk to tell me. I guess you will take this train."

"and then……"

"I heard you are always alone?"

"That's right, I don't have that much charm, even if I'm on a dating show, it takes time to wait for the schedule."

"Will you still make up?"

"No. Isn't this the result you want? It's because you have a strong taste and prefer to have a more chaotic relationship. Again, I'm alone, it's fine. Please don't mention him again, thank you."

"About Qingfeng, I'm sorry. Since I told you my thoughts face to face while swimming, I won't frame you behind your back. Qingfeng said that someone else took the photo. I explained to him that you and Liu Yu are Ordinary friends. As for whether he believes it or not, I don’t know. Your misunderstanding should be communicated properly.”

"Susu, why are you so contradictory, you asked me to let go, I let go, now persuade me to communicate, are you all right?"

"But we are always separated by all kinds of your past, which cannot be overcome..."

"I'm sorry, that's your own business. Do you still want me to be a matchmaker lobbyist? Are you too vicious?"

Go through the ticket gate and go down the stairs.Different compartments, 2 and 13.We walked towards both ends of the train, feeling the same way.

When I got home, it was already the morning of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.Cold, bleak.I haven't been back for two years, and this hometown that often appears in my dreams is so clearly in front of me.

Both my parents had white hair on their heads, and my dad's back was a little hunched.My mother's eyesight is already bad. She was drying bacon and sausages in the yard, and she put on reading glasses to look at me carefully when she saw me enter the door.I didn't speak for a long time.

They couldn't finish the prepared meat no matter what. I knew that they were always looking forward to my return home.

At noon, my mother cooked a large table of specialty dishes, all of which were the taste of hometown that I had never felt in Beijing.

In the afternoon, my mother insisted on going to the street to buy me new clothes for the New Year.

I said, "I'm already old, girls in their 20s, buy it yourself."

My mother said: "No matter how old you are, you are still mother's child, and you should."

My dad said, "I'll go too, to protect you two."

When passing by the bank, I gave my dad a bank card.

I solemnly said: "Dad, the password is my mother's birthday. You have given me lucky money since I was a child, and this is my lucky money for you."

I motioned for him to plug it into the cash machine and have a look.

My dad said: "We are all old, and my daughter is promising. I will give my parents New Year's money. It can't be 200 yuan, and I can still save it in the card. Oh, how much is it? Let’s see, how many zeros are behind the 15.”

"It's a shame that you're still a math teacher, so you've misunderstood my son." My mother also raised her head to look curiously.

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand?"

They both looked back at me in surprise.

In the bank lobby, my mother dragged me to a chair in the waiting area with a serious face.

"Xiaoxiao, where did you get so much money? The consumption in Beijing is so high. You haven't done anything shameful."

"Where do you want to go, your girl, am I that kind of person? I saved it all. I never complained to you, but it doesn't mean I don't suffer. Fortunately, it's all over. As long as you are here I am content with a happy family. In the future, I will also follow my mother’s criteria for choosing a spouse, and choose a man who has a house, a car, and savings close to home, and it is best to be a small official in the county. How about it?”

My dad said: "According to your mother's standards, I will take the time to find out in the county party committee team whether there is any news recently, divorced or widowed. Don't delay our daughter from becoming an old lady."

My mom punched my dad.

"Xiao, are you resenting Mom, right? What happened to you and Xiao Wei, if you can tell us, I really won't hinder you."

"It can't be done, Mom, it's not your fault, really. It's our own fault."

In the lobby, someone's fake cell phone rings piercingly: the future, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, cannot withstand anyone's tearing it down...

The winter nights come very early, and in the small county town, there is not even a place for people to stroll around.

After dinner, I closed the door and lit a cigarette.In my MMS box, there are also roses from Xia Qiusheng.The message is: Say hello to my parents for me.

This is a very kind word.Just like the quilt that my mother dried for me during the day, the warmth is the smell of the sun.

I dialed his phone: "Xiao Xiazi, I have arrived home safely, thank you."

"Congratulations, enjoy the family happiness, I'm still on duty. I'll be 29 years old."

"I sympathize with you. I'm suffering from overtime work. I'm going to bed. Hard-working child."

"Hehe, serving the people is not hard. Because of us, you can enjoy the benefits of sleeping until you wake up naturally. Be content. Do you miss me before going to bed?"

"Think!" I blurted out.

"Hahaha."

He didn't give me a serious response, but actually smiled very cunningly.It's like seeing a colored joke that can't be shared with others, and a person hiding in bed is very evil and snickering.

"I almost can't remember it."

"For the sake of sending you an MMS message every second I take a break, let me put it in a nice way."

"Well, well, maybe I really miss you." The atmosphere gradually became a little ambiguous.

"It is said that the nose will grow if you tell nonsense, take a snapshot in the mirror, if it doesn't grow, report to me, it proves that you really want it..."

He was still talking, but there was a loud knock on my room door.

"Xiaoxiao's bath water is ready, can you wash before going to bed?" My mother's loud voice probably heard the old Wangtou next door.

I quickly hung up the phone and put out the cigarette butt.Open the window to diffuse the smell of smoke.

"Xiaoxiao, you..." She sniffed.

"Mom, I just smoke occasionally when I have insomnia, but I assure Chairman Mao that I am a good boy."

Mom was sitting on the bed with her coat on: "Let's talk about it. My daughter has grown up in the past few years. Mom is also getting old."

I leaned on her shoulder, feeling sad for a while. It's been a long time since we talked so intimately.

My mother said that when I was away, she often used reading glasses to look through old photos with my father under the dim lamp in the dead of night, recalling my childhood.

When I was 3 years old, I fell down in a boiling water basin because of my naughtiness and got scalded on the head. They took turns holding me, rubbing medicine on their arms day and night, feeding me to sleep, and not closing my eyes for more than ten days. At the age of 5, I played house at the neighbor's house and set the kitchen on fire. I was afraid of being beaten and dared not go home. My parents found Dongfang Baibai with a flashlight in the middle of the night. When I was 8 years old, I learned to ride a bicycle with a group of wild children during the summer vacation and broke my arm. I was wearing a plaster cast and shouted hot every day. My mother changed the way to give me cold drinks by myself. I went to junior high school at the age of 10, but I couldn’t understand and skipped class. My dad made me kneel at the gate with the textbooks on my head. The 12-year-old composition won the first prize in the national middle school students' composition, and they laughed from ear to ear. At the age of 15, he failed the college entrance examination, unwilling to be a hard-working repeater, and insisted on going to a poor junior college.My dad asked me to write a 5000-word letter of guarantee, promising not to regret or complain in the future.

"Xiao, in the past few years in Beijing, to be honest with Mom, how are you doing?"

"Actually, it was not good at first. When I was selling clothes at a relative's house, I got up at 7 am and went to bed at 11 pm every day. I was so tired that I fell on the bed and didn't want to get up. The bungalow I rented did not have heating. It was cold. After washing my hair in the morning, I hurried out and took the car to the store. When I ran to the station, my hair was frozen and hard, and I could break it. I didn’t do it afterwards. I was disheartened by being cheated by an intermediary. I remember that the snow was abnormally thick. I went to Shangdi from Zhongguancun, and it took about 10 stops. "

My mother was about to cry.

"Mom, don't feel sorry for me. This is a wealth of my daughter. You taught me to be strong. I only tell you this because it has passed. The place where I work now has a very good boss. I will definitely Do it well, don't worry."

"Is there anyone you like right now?"

It was Xia Qiusheng who flashed through his mind.

I sighed and said, "No wow. Find someone who can meet your requirements, and wait."

My mother looked very sad, and said: "If you find it, you must tell us. It doesn't matter if you don't meet the conditions, as long as you like it."

If my mother had this attitude a few years ago, I think Wei Qingfeng and I would have...

What kind of life would that be?
Although the judges don't like Wei Qingfeng in various ways, but to be fair to me, to Xiaoxiao, this person was, once, too important.

The romance of Xia Qiusheng that you liked at that time was just ambiguous and not broken, and the oil, salt, firewood and rice were not touched.That's all.

I used to be in this room, right where I am lying now, because my mother objected to me being with Wei Qingfeng, and I did an earth-shattering stupid thing.

It seems that it was the Spring Festival of the second year we met, Qingfeng asked me to accompany him home for the New Year, but I did not agree.I said I would go home first to ask my parents for advice, and then Qingfeng bought me a lot of gifts for me to take back to honor his future mother-in-law.We reluctantly parted at the train station, and I asked him to go home and wait for news.

The scene was like it happened yesterday.

That year, it also snowed a lot. Instead of waiting for me at the train station, my parents sent a man to pick me up.

I looked at the man with hostility.The black windbreaker is unbuttoned, the black sweater is covered with a white shirt and blue dotted tie, really looks like a bodyguard in a Hong Kong drama.The hair is very distinctive, and Moss is always combed back, meticulous, and the overall shape has the temperament of traitors in the Anti-Japanese War.

"Are you Li Xiao? Teacher Li Jun's daughter?"

"Who are you?" I asked, stomping my feet.

"My name is Chang Wei, great Wei. I work in the county party committee. Our high school classmates, I am 5 years older than you. Your family runs a small store in the school. I often go home to buy things. My aunt's sister's daughter-in-law It's your neighbor, Teacher Zhang Huifang."

"And then?" I asked him.

"Auntie asked me to pick you up." My hand was already scratched red by the luggage, and it was cold and painful.He quickly took it and put it on the back seat of the battered Santana.

I chatted a few words on the way, and the people who work in the government are polite and speak in an official tone. This strong contrast still made me feel a truth, that is, different ways do not seek each other.Politely exchanged phone calls.

After dinner, I turned on the desk lamp, and I brewed up my emotions. While my parents were still asking questions, I hurried to strike while the iron was hot.I took out the woolen coat I bought for my mother and the jade porcelain tea cup I bought for my father.

I said: "Your future son-in-law bought this for you. His name is Wei Qingfeng. He is from Nanyang, Henan Province. There are 4 brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the eldest." My mother's face dropped when she heard that.

"What do you do in Beijing?"

I took out Qingfeng's business card, pointed to the title and said, "Marketing Manager. I'm going to be the director soon."

My mother said: "I don't understand what a director is. The president is useless here, and he can't do anything. You can find a job in the county government locally, and you can count on it in the future. I Look at the Chang Wei who sent you back today is not bad."

What Chang Wei, impotent, I protested with all my might, "I don't agree."

At night, I secretly texted Qingfeng, telling him that I'm home and everything is fine.

The farce of suicide happened the next day.

Early the next morning, the house was covered in white and white, and I forgot to bring my mobile phone when I went out to see the snow scene. When I came back, my mother said, "I have two calls for you, and I answered them for you. Wei is calling."

"Is there another one?" I asked quickly.

"I told Chang Wei, when you get up, he will come over immediately to pick you up to play."

"And another one?"

She sighed and said, "Xiao Wei. I told Xiao Wei that you were picked up by your boyfriend to play yesterday, but you didn't come back."

"Mom, you..."

I hurriedly called back, Qingfeng hung up.Obviously angry.Chang Wei took no time to come to the house to flatter him, and I took him to the school playground.I asked him what do you like about me?He said that I have been working in the government for the past few years and I have been in contact with leaders, and I also need a good wife. I think your image and temperament are what I want, so I will overcome all difficulties to pursue you...

I rubbed my hands and said, "It's a bit cold, so I wore a sweater." He was wearing leather gloves, and the collar of the coat was turned up and pulled tight. I thought he was going to take it off, and he said, "Yes, I'm wearing it." It’s cold so much, you little girls love beauty and are not afraid of freezing!”

Your uncle!I'm not as valuable as a coat of yours, and you rule out everything.I whisper my greetings in my heart.

Then I thought of an idea to dissuade him.

I asked him, do you mind if your girlfriend is not a virgin?As a result, do you know that he moved out the history of the development of the Chinese nation for more than 5000 years, Shenma traditional concepts, Shenma feudal thinking, Shenma he is the son of a farmer.In the end, he concluded, tsk tsk, those who venture outside are really open-minded.Then we let it go.

In the afternoon, the news spread all over the school. Our whole family ate fish, as if we were stuck in our throats, and no one spoke. This was the most boring year in my memory in the past 20 years.Of course, I'm also prevaricating Qingfeng, don't come here yet, let's talk about it after the new year.

Originally, my dad was going to wash the vegetables and cook, but my mother coughed with a livid face, put it down quickly, and rubbed her head with her hands to match her pretending.There was a big fight, and my mother said with snot and tears that if I stepped out of this house, she would die.And kicked my dad, why don't you talk, you are so useless.

"Okay, okay, okay. Listen to you." My dad agreed. My dad is a simple and honest math teacher. He hopes that his daughter will find true love, but he is also afraid of his wife.

She said: "Let me ask you again, can you break up with him after you go to Beijing?"

"No, what's wrong with him?"

"He's not good anywhere. Does he have a house? Is his job an iron rice bowl? Do you trust us so far away?"

I was dumbfounded and couldn't find any reason to justify it.My mind went blank.
