She didn't want to drop out, she wanted to take the exam and then get into a good university and get out of this backward and remote town. But her mother, Niu Yizhen, felt that it was useless for the girl to study, she should work early to make money, share the pressure for the family, and then find a good family to marry.

For this reason, Ma Xiaolian and Niu Yizhen had a big quarrel. The school also sent people to Niu Yizhen to do work many times, but Niu Yizhen said one sentence: "Ma Xiaolian can go to study, and there will be no such person in this family in the future." ”

Ma Xiaolian hugged the quilt and cried all night, and then took the 200 yuan to Shitang Street the next day to buy two new clothes.

Since then, Ma Xiaolian, who has monopolized every exam, is high-spirited, and has no future is gone. In her place was Ma Xiaolian, who was crushed by the burden of life and gradually became numb.

"Or go somewhere else, it's too expensive. As soon as she arrived on the street, Ma Xiaolian said to Su Jingchen.

"It's okay, no matter how expensive it is, you can buy whatever you like, and I'll give it to you when I withdraw the money and spend as much as I want." Su Jingchen said sincerely.

"Okay. Ma Xiaolian reluctantly agreed.

She had already made up her mind that she would just shop around and buy nothing later. Su Jingchen said that the mobile phone was broken and the money could not be withdrawn, Ma Xiaolian did not believe it at all. She was just afraid of hurting Su Jingchen's self-esteem, so she deliberately didn't say it.

Seeing Ma Xiaolian's appearance, Su Jingchen suddenly felt a little distressed. She has worked so hard and is so kind, but she has endured so much suffering. He thought that before leaving, he must surprise Ma Xiaolian to make her happy.

The two of them had their own things on their minds and unconsciously walked into a clothing store.

"Yo, old classmate, Ma Xiaolian!" As soon as she entered the door, Ma Xiaolian heard someone calling herself. When she looked closely, it turned out to be Lily, a table mate in high school.

"Ah, you're Lily, aren't you? ”

Che Lili was very ordinary in the class and didn't talk much. At that time, Ma Xiaolian was the man of the hour, and almost everyone knew her. If Ma Xiaolian is a white swan, then Che Lili is the ugly duckling hiding behind Ma Xiaolian.

Now two years have passed, Ma Xiaolian is dressed plainly, although her beauty is difficult to hide, but it is far from being as dazzling as it was at the beginning. And Che Lili is wearing light makeup and a brand of goods,

looks radiant, but it is much more eye-catching than Ma Xiaolian.

If it weren't for Che Lili taking the initiative to call her and meeting her on the street, Ma Xiaolian really wouldn't dare to recognize it.

"I haven't seen you for two years, Xiaolian, you are beautiful again, it's really enviable! How are you doing now?" Che Lili said with a happy look.

"It's ok. What about you? Ma Xiaolian thought about it for a while and found that there was really no suitable word other than this word.

"I'm okay. My uncle, who owned a company in City C, asked me to work there. Although the income is not much, only more than 4,000 yuan a month, it is good

In ease. No, the company is on holiday now, so I'll go back to my hometown to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet you Xiaolian. Che Lili said with a smile.

"It's good. Hearing that Che Lili is mixing so well now, and thinking of what happened to her, Ma Xiaolian suddenly lost any interest.

"This is your boyfriend, who's pretty tall. At the beginning, so many people chased you, and you never cared about it, but now you are looking for a boyfriend so quickly, it must be unusual. Handsome guy, where do you work? When Che Lili saw Su Jingchen, she began to gossip again.

Su Jingchen thought that Ma Xiaolian would explain the relationship between the two of them, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaolian to stand there shyly and not say a word. He could only stubbornly reply, "I don't go to work." ”

"Oh, that's good. Since Su Jingchen said so, Che Lili was embarrassed to ask more. There are very few job opportunities here in Ji'an, and if you don't go to work, it means that you will either be old at home or farming at home.

Either way, there is no difference between these two situations for Che Lili. She only needs to know that Ma Xiaolian, the former proud daughter of the sky, has found a boyfriend, and this boyfriend is very unproductive.

"Xiaolian, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll always contact you if I have something!" Che Lili picked up her phone and glanced at it, and hurriedly left with her bag.

As soon as she walked out of the store, she seemed to remember something, turned back again, and said to Ma Xiaolian: "By the way, I forgot to tell you." Yan Binghai recently took the lead in holding a class reunion, and I will send the time and address to your mobile phone later. ”

"Class reunion, that, I ......" As soon as Ma Xiaolian heard that she wanted to participate in the class reunion, she subconsciously wanted to find a reason to refuse.

"Don't say you don't have time. Yan Binghai specially told me that I must inform you. If you don't go, then I'll lose face. Gotta go and bring your boyfriend with you. ”

Niu Lili made such a fuss, and Ma Xiaolian completely lost the mind to go shopping. At that time, she was admitted to the best middle school in the county with the first grade in the school, but because of her mother Niu Yizhen, she could only go to the town high school.

In the three years of Zhengao, she must be the first in the school every time she takes an exam, and the scenery is infinite. In the eyes of many people, Ma Xiaolian is the TOP2 seedling of Huaxia University, but there is no one who knows her who is not envious. But now, she has become a waitress with a meager salary, but her classmates are all thriving. What's more, the sea of ice is still ...... All in all, this sudden classmate meeting made Ma Xiaolian feel frightened.

"If you don't want to go, don't go, there's no point in this kind of thing as a class reunion, it's nothing more than a comparison to show off, or it's a revival of old feelings. On the way back, Su Jingchen seemed to see Ma Xiaolian's thoughts, and said intentionally or unintentionally.

For class reunions, Su Jingchen has a lot to say. At the beginning, he was destitute and tired of working as a delivery boy, and several roommates not only did not help him, but were sneering everywhere. At the class reunion, almost everyone went to praise the stinky feet of the young Sun Xiao, and even arranged seats according to the amount of annual salary. All of this made Su Chen feel nauseous. In his opinion, all feelings that need money or benefits to maintain, then don't do it.

"I see, thank you. Ma Xiaolian barely squeezed out a smile on her face and said.

There are not many mountains near the town of Ji'an, and there are plains on three sides, so the winter winds are particularly fierce. On the thick snow, two strings of footprints stretched side by side towards the distance. Neither of the two of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Are you leaving? Ma Xiaolian opened her mouth to break the silence.

I don't know why, Ma Xiaolian always felt that Su Jingchen didn't belong here, and he would have to leave sooner or later. Although Su Jingchen chatted with her very well, Ma Xiaolian could feel that there was a layer of separation between herself and Su Jingchen, which existed from beginning to end. Obviously, two people live under the same blue sky, but they don't seem to be people from the same world.

"I have a friend who has been poisoned, and I came to JX to find an antidote. Now that the antidote has been found, I must rush back as soon as possible, or his life will be in danger. Su Jingchen said.

"What I said is true. Seeing that Ma Xiaolian didn't react, Su Jingchen explained again.

"I believe in you. Ma Xiaolian nodded, took out 500 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Su Jingchen.

"What is this for? Ma Xiaolian's actions made Su Jingchen feel a little puzzled.

"You don't have a penny on you now, and JS is so far away, how can you go back? Even if this money is lent to you, you can pay it back to me when you have it." By the way, you said before that you would give me 1 million, but you are not allowed to repay the debt. Ma Xiaolian suddenly patted Su Jingchen on the back and said with a smile.

Su Jingchen looked at Ma Xiaolian like this, as if he was admiring a lotus flower that was blooming.

The ancients Zhou Dunyi once said: "Yu Du Ai Lotus comes out of the mud without staining, and the ripples are clear but not demonic." This is also appropriate to describe Ma Xiaolian.

"Su Jingchen, why are you going? When passing by a small shop, Su Jingchen suddenly ran in, and Ma Xiaolian couldn't help asking.

Her question didn't last long, because Su Jingchen quickly came out with a blank piece of paper, and then handed the white paper to her.

"What is this?"

"IOU. As soon as Su Jingchen's words fell, Ma Xiaolian unfolded the white paper, and sure enough, she found that it was an IOU, which read: Su Jingchen owes Ma Xiaolian 1 million yuan.

NC train station, Su Jingchen finally arrived here after a 5-hour drive. When he got here, there was only one step left before he returned to N City to cure Yi Tianfeng, and that was to step on the train from NC to N City. Thinking of this, his always calm heart also became uncontrollably excited.

Walking into the ticket hall, Su Jingchen was suddenly shocked by the scene. A sea of people, a real sea of people. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the ticket hall of the NC train station is packed. An hour later, he was at the front of the line.

"Where to go? The conductor asked in standard Huaxia language.

"Please give me a train ticket to N city, the sooner the better. ”

"The nearest high-speed train was at half past seven in the evening and the fare was 920. The conductor expertly checked the computer and replied.

"Well, there's no cheaper one. Touching the more than three hundred yuan in his pocket, Su Jingchen coughed twice and asked.

The train to N city is only available in NC, so Su Jingchen can only take a bus from Ji'an Town to the county first, and then transfer to NC. Along the way, Su Jingchen spent 100 yuan on his ticket and bought some bread and water. The 500 yuan given by Ma Xiaolian was only more than 300.

This is not Ma Xiaolian's slamming the door. Her monthly salary is only 500 yuan. This 500 is already what she spent when she worked in a restaurant this year, and she usually saved money to prepare for the New Year. Now Su Jingchen was leaving, so she took out all the money and gave it to Su Jingchen without even thinking about it.

"The train, at half past eight in the evening, 575 yuan. The conductor said with a blank face.

"Is there anything cheaper? After saying this, Su Jingchen couldn't help but blush. As the eldest son of the dignified Su Group, this is too cheap.

"The cheapest general express, at 12 o'clock in the evening, to N city about 38 hours, the ticket price is 175 yuan. was rejected twice in a row by Su Jingchen, and the conductor was also a little impatient, and directly quoted the cheapest bus.

Specials like this are usually extra buses, which are extremely slow, and from time to time they have to stop to give way to other trains. So on the face of it, it's 38 hours, but it's still unknown whether it will be 50 hours. Su Jingchen naturally didn't know this, and when he heard that it only cost more than a hundred yuan, he hurriedly paid for one.

The crowded waiting hall is filled with the smell of instant noodles. Even though it was already past eleven o'clock at night, nearly twelve o'clock, the waiting hall was still crowded, and Su Jingchen walked through almost the entire hall before finally finding a place to stay.

"Grunt" The stomach kept screaming, Su Jingchen thought about it, and went to buy a bucket of instant noodles and ate it.

"Little brother, are you also going to N City? "It's said that it's easiest to make friends on a trip. As soon as Su Jingchen ate instant noodles, a young man with a suitcase asked Su Jingchen.

"Yes, you're also going to N City? Su Jingchen glanced up, and continued to eat.
