She took a car ride from the town for more than three hours, and finally came to Tongzi, the county seat, she went to the high school before graduation, standing at the school gate and did not dare to walk in, she was afraid to see her three years of hard work, now it has come to an end.

Lin Jiajia saw her hesitating, walked over and held her hand, and dragged her boldly into the campus.

She seemed to see herself who got up early every morning, memorized words in an English book, and was always the last to walk out of the study room every night, and felt that she had only one goal at that time, that is, to be admitted to the ideal university.

She and Lin Jiajia sat on the grass for a long time, looking at the blue sky, each talking about their own sorrows, talking about their future ideals, and talking about the sky slowly darkening before they were reluctant to part.

She went to the train station to buy a train to Guiyang the next day, which was the first time she would go to Guiyang, the provincial capital, the first time she got on the train, and the first time she faced this strange and hesitant society alone.

When she was at the train station, she saw a lot of people sitting there asking for money, including people with disabilities, women with children on their backs, and old people who walked twisted and twisted.

This general behavior of the elderly and the disabled is understandable, because they do not have the ability to work and do not have the physical strength to do anything.

But why are these able-bodied and healthy people willing to reach out here and ask for money, can't they support themselves by themselves?

When she saw that so many people in this world were suffering differently, she made comparisons in a divided consciousness, compared to the women with children on their backs here, compared to these old people who had difficulty walking, and these disabled people with unsound limbs.

She's much luckier, but she just gave up college, it's not a big deal, it's still a relatively lucky crowd.

The riverside avenue in Tongzi County is always very lively at night, people come to the river to blow the cool breeze, she faced the slight breeze, and Lin Jiajia walked the riverside avenue, half an hour away she felt that she had walked for half a century.

On August 12, 2006, she stepped on a train from Tongzi to Guiyang, and the train ticket was 19 yuan, and it took more than four hours to reach Guiyang.

She stood at the entrance of the station, waved her hand to Lin Jiajia and Han Chen, who saw her off, and said, "I'm waiting for you in Guiyang." ”

Han Chen looked at her back as she turned to leave, but his eyes refused to leave, and he suddenly said loudly, "Tranquility, take care of yourself, wait for us." ”

She heard his loud instructions, but she didn't look back, just lowered her head, dragged her suitcase, and quickly crossed the ticket gate to the platform where she boarded the train.

When she saw those people who were reluctant to say goodbye, hugging and saying goodbye to couples on the platform, sending their children on the train, and parents who were reluctant to leave for a long time, she dragged her suitcase on the bus very freely, because she didn't need anyone to say goodbye.

Her position happened to be by the window, and she made it by the window after putting the suitcase, and there were all kinds of smells wafting in the carriage, the strong smell of various perfumes of women, the smell of sour sweat, and the strong smell of instant noodles.

She watched as three or five people sat next to her, fighting the landlord with a poker, and the laughter kept cheering.

As the train slowly drove away, she knew that she had truly left her parents and stepped into a complex society.
