I slept very well that night, I slept very deeply, I don't know why, maybe because of this old home, or because my mind was completely relaxed, or because of the alcohol I drank at night, all in all I slept in a lethargic night.

When I woke up on the second day, it was already dawn, and I saw that Brother Xiaodao had already gone to the balcony to dry his clothes.

Of course, I know that this is an old town, and it is an old house, basically no one has done it, so these old washing machines have been placed here for many years, although there is not a lot of dust sealed, but those spinning functions are basically useless.

These clothes can only be washed by the stream next to them, and then they can be washed clean by beating them with this stone, which is the original method of washing.

I saw that he hung all the clothes on this balcony, and that balcony was actually quite simple, just a square meter, and the place where the clothes were hung was even more simple, and it was just a rope.

There were clothes hanging on it, not even a hanger, and the water droplets fell below.

This kind of life makes me feel very quiet, and I feel that this town is very beautiful under the sun, and everything seems so peaceful, I feel as if many people have been immersed in their own world.

There happened to be a wild cat in this place, I don't know which cat it was, but it was very quiet and squatted there and looked at me quietly, because I had some snacks in my hand, and it seemed to be a gluttonous cat.

I took the treat and put it on the floor, let the cat come over and eat it, and reached for the kitten.

And this little kitten is also very obedient, directly obediently eating this broken snack next to me, let me go to stroke.

Brother Xiaodao stood next to him smoking a cigarette with an unclear warning.

"I told don't let me not warn you, this kitten is not a cat to be messed with, it is a wild cat, and when the time comes, Yi Zhi will scratch your hand, but if you get vaccinated!"

At this time, Brother Xiaodao booed, and the little cat was frightened, and suddenly jumped to the roof next to him.

Brother Xiaodao turned his head and asked me.

"What do you want to eat this morning? soy milk or fritters? Do you want to go home and eat breakfast here today, it may not be very suitable for you, should you go home and eat it first?"

Because my dress was completely damaged last night, I'm wearing the same old T-shirt and old jeans that Brother Dao used to wear when he was a student.

This T-shirt and jeans have been washed very gray, which can be seen as an indication of the kind that was very popular back then, and the clothes in it now really look like they were rustic in the 80s.

I chopped my hair up, I was standing in the sun, I should look stupid, I knew that I felt very good like this, I felt like I really had a sense of freedom, and then I looked at him bareheaded, and I didn't want these things to cause him a lot of trouble, not only did the other party directly help me a lot.

"Forget it, Brother Xiaodao won't bother you to buy me any soy milk fritters, anyway, I can't stay in this place for too long, maybe it's better to leave so early, go home to eat, of course, it doesn't matter if you want to be blamed by this Luo Jin, you can blame as much as you want, anyway, things are already like this, why worry about anything." ”

I talk about these topics with ease, as if I were telling someone else's story.

Brother Xiaodao is really a kind of man who makes you feel that he is a very warm man, if he is not helping Luo Jin to do things, in fact, it is really good to make friends with him, but because of the principled position on many things, we have no choice, as a true friend.

But the way I get along with him is actually quite strange.

Maybe his relationship with Luo Jin is too good, it is the relationship of a brother who has died, then Luo Jin's corporate culture is completely planned by Brother Xiaodao, and the two of them are like this relationship between Bo Zhong.

Brother Xiaodao lowered his head, bent down and scooped up an unwrung out piece of clothing from this basin, and hung it directly on this rope, with a faint language on it.

"Miss, I hope you don't become like this in the future, and I don't want you to be like that situation yesterday, I hope that as long as it happens once in the future, it won't happen for the second time, I hope you will be contacted in the future, not for anything else, if this happens again, maybe we can't help." ”

With a smile of nonchalance, I jumped long and looked into the distance, smiling.

"Then what else is there to plan, do whatever you have to do, anyway, that's all I have for the rest of my life, what else do I have to plan?"

I sat on the railing of this balcony, I looked out at the mountain scenery in the distance, I seemed to look at it with some interest, but my every word seemed so lonely and sad.

"Actually, I have already planned, if I am admitted to graduate school after I graduate, maybe I can get a suitable job, I can be a teacher, I especially want to be a volunteer teacher in a remote mountainous area, I want to be a lifelong teacher in that mountainous area, so if Zhao Yijun is willing to marry me, then I will marry him, this is also a better marriage, if he doesn't care about this marriage at all, then I plan to find another person in that mountain village, I am safe, simply live a lifetime, have a few more children, and cultivate them wellI think this kind of life is actually quite perfect. ”

I lowered my head and smiled, because I thought of Zhao Yijun, Zhao Yijun, he is a person with responsibilities and a task, the relationship between me and him is actually a partner, how can I pull him into the water at this time?

So whether he wants to marry me or not, in fact, I don't even know myself.

It doesn't matter if you want it or not, he's not my cup of tea anyway.

But Brother Xiaodao turned his head and looked at me quietly, and said with certainty after a long time.

"If Zhao Yijun is unwilling to go to the group, I will marry you!"

I really want to laugh at this time, I really want to laugh haha laugh, you will think that this situation will be too weird, and even I think that I and Brother Xiaodao are really the same people who have fallen to the end of the world, both of us are too lonely, and the two of us are extremely high-spirited, and they are the same type of people as me.

I am very grateful to him for his righteousness to me at this time, and I am very grateful for his unwavering indifference from me at this time, even if this emotional component is nothing more than a friendship at all.

It's not explicit, it's a kind of pity.

I looked at it with a deep melancholy, all kinds of very determined eyes: "No, Luo Jin will never agree." ”

Brother Xiaodao suddenly walked towards me, came over and touched the bun of my hair, and I have never been so close to him for this thing, I don't recognize me looking at him, I don't know what he will do, of course he looks at me with a kind of such a look, but I see that there is no so-called love in his eyes, it is more of a kind of family affection, just like my brother takes care of her.

He took out a fallen leaf directly from my head, blew it on the ground, and then rubbed my hair, and smiled faintly.

"I'll talk about it later, silly girl. ”

I stood there stunned, I really sometimes feel that I don't know Brother Xiaodao at all, you will feel that he is like a hero standing in the dark, he is really that type of person, he sometimes makes you feel very relieved and stable, but it will make you keep a certain distance, he will not give you a sincere heart, but he will definitely be the most upright one.

I just sat there and watched him, drying those clothes one by one on this rope, and finally he said?

"Let's go, now it's time to go home in time for breakfast. ”

I was at a dance party last night because of him, and I scored that 9 points Of course I know what the reason is, I know that Zhao Yijun doesn't know whose territory this place is, so of course I know everything about this kind of thing, can I not know? I deliberately used this way to provoke Luo Jin.

I guess Luo Jin's temper will definitely give me a lot of embarrassment, and he will definitely give me a big temper and blame, and I will let everyone know how much my betrayal will cause.

But I never expected that when I returned home, Luo Jin had already gone to the company to have a year-end report meeting, and I heard that there was an important board meeting today, and Luo Jin hurried over early in the morning.

When she was at home, Yang Bingbing was already sleeping in this marriage room and did not get up.

When Brother Xiaodao sent me home, he also hurried directly to the company to do things, I sat alone at home and began to eat this breakfast, I felt tasteless, I wanted to see a storm coming, but I didn't expect such a bright spring.

The dining room is a big glass wall, and I looked at a lonely old man sitting outside this glass wall, this is my father, and he was sitting outside the glass basking in the sun, and his mind was completely confused, and he looked at these flowers and maybe he didn't even know why they came.

This lonely old man is also a tragic love dance in this story.

I had breakfast and I walked over, and I looked at my father and called him softly.

"Father, are you okay here in the sun?"

My father looked up at me with a very confused look, and it took a few seconds before he recognized me, and came out and asked me with a very anxious look.

"Ou Ruoxi told me, why did I never see your mother, where did I go?"

I squatted down to tidy up the blanket for him, and then wrapped the blanket around his feet again, because I knew that he couldn't be in a coma for a moment, and that any wind chill you could easily make his problem recur again.

"Father, mother, go to the supermarket to buy a lot of delicious things for you, buy a lot of cherries and fruits that you like to eat, mother said I want to make you some delicious things, to be honest, you don't want to be in the sun here, we went back to the room to sleep and mother came back. ”

"Oh, that's right, no wonder I didn't see your mother, I've been waiting for her to come back, I'm going to wait for her to come back before I go back to my room to sleep, okay?"

The old man looked at it blankly, with a childlike pleading, with a very sincere pleading.

"Father, I've heard that at this time you must go back and take a nap so that I can give you a milk biscuit to eat. ”

"Hmm!"

The old man suddenly forgot about me again.

"Ou Ruoxi, why are you unhappy again during this time, is it that the school is about to take the final exam again, I hope you are very worried that you will not be able to get into a good school, right? Don't worry about your father, I will definitely help you prepare, and your mother will definitely accompany you in the future." ”

"Yes father, we are going to take this final exam soon, but please don't worry too much about you and mother, I will definitely have no big problems, I have already prepared. ”

"It's really hard to study, don't stay up late?"

My father stretched out his hand and held my hand with a hint of warmth.

"Ou Ruoxi, you are my best gift, and my father will definitely give you the best things when I come to tell my father what difficulties there are, because you are your mother's best woman, and your only daughter, and also my daughter. ”

Of course, I know that his state at this time has returned to the previous mother's state, and sometimes I know his state, intermittently, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so I can only answer his questions according to his meaning.

"Good father, I see. ”

"I'm telling you, I've put a very important thing under that goldfish bowl, there's a little key there, go get it, it's very important, get it quickly. ”

Suddenly, my father pointed at the goldfish bowl with a very mysterious finger, as if there was a very important key to that thing.

I agreed, of course I didn't move, but the old man was a little impatient, and immediately quarreled with me.

"Go and pick up that King Kong, and pick it up gently, in a small corner below, there is a small hole, and there will be a treasure hidden there, you hurry up and get it." ”

I completely feel that my father is really like a vexatious little child at this time, and I generally have to move that King Kong, in fact, I know how this thing can exist there, I have never heard of my father have such a thing here, according to my father's previous relatives, how can he put a key on the goldfish bowl, this is completely only a child's behavior.

But my father seemed to be more anxious and kept asking me to get it.

I could only be very helpless, so I could only move the goldfish bowl in a pretentious manner, and at the same time put my hand down, and he asked a little inexplicably.

"What the hell is it? Why didn't I see it, what kind of key did you say?"

I just wanted to cooperate with one of his actions, to let him know that there was no key in it, but I didn't expect that when I leaned inside, I would touch a hard, cold iron sheet.

When I pulled this iron sheet out, it was actually a key, and I really felt that this thing was completely beyond my imagination, and this key was a copper key, although it was not rusty, but it oxidized and became a little black.

Uh, this key has been buried in this place for an unknown amount of time, at least a secret I've never known since I was a kid.

When my father saw me holding the key, he was overjoyed, clapping his hands happily with a bright smile like a child.

"I'm so happy, this is the best gift, this is what my mother and I are hiding here, no one else knows, it's a secret between us, Ou Ruoxi, this is a gift we give you to come of age, I wish you a happy birthday, be happy and be happy forever for the rest of your life." ”

I never thought it was a gift from him and my mother, and I don't know what the key was for, but I felt that although this comrade's key was old, I could tell that he was very well made, and it must have been a safe.

My nose was a little sour, because my father had forgotten everything, but he hadn't forgotten my birthday.

Yes, the eighth day of August, today is my birthday.

He is probably the only one in this world who can remember my birthday, I haven't had this birthday for many years, I even forget myself sometimes, since all these earth-shattering things happened in the house, everything has been calm, and there is no one who is celebrating my birthday for me.

Every year when it's time for my birthday, I choose to forget because it reminds me of my mother.

When I ran away from home a few years ago, it happened to be the eve of my birthday, although my mother kept asking me to study abroad, and had helped me with all the surgeries abroad, but what I never expected was that Luo Jin actually made a reservation early, and usually followed me on a plane ticket.

At that time, the youth and the most brilliant method, would think that everything was the most worthy of madness, the most worthy of beauty, and that all of them would become a kind of freedom.

At that time, I thought I was a reckless King Kong, but now that I think about it, my innocence was really a childish and ridiculous joke book.

At that time, I really had very little, thinking that I could go away to the end of the world without scruples, I could avoid all the world, and I might shake or even get rid of a kind of restraint on myself from my parents.

Later, many years later, I would know that when I and Luo Jin were ready to take on the opportunity to go to France.

Later, her mother found out that she and Luo Jin were going to leave Suihua and try their best to get themselves home.

But when the second call came, it was actually a knife brother.

I will always remember that Luo Jin told me very seriously at that time.

"You go to France now, you go to the school to report first, and then you can contact me after you find a job in various aspects, and then I will go back then, and I will go home first." ”
