Chapter 5: Parting
When the rooster crowed, the young couple got up and left. Carrying their luggage, carrying dry cakes and military kettles for eating and drinking on the road, the two walked towards the county seat more than ten miles away by the light of the horse lantern.
Although the burden was not light, Jing Jian walked three or four miles in one go. Zhao Xia carried the lantern, handed over the kettle and said, "Take a breath, drink hot water, it's still early." ”
Jing Jian nodded gratefully, took it and took a sip. Although there was a white mist on his head, Jing Jian didn't feel tired, and after being reborn, it was good to have regained his young body. Suddenly found that Zhao Xia stepped into a snow pit, stumbled, and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Xia's arm, and stabilized her body.
Zhao Xia smiled sweetly at Jing Jian, and stepped a few steps closer to Jing Jian: "The shoes are dirty again, and the road is too bad." Unlike the roads in the capital, they are all asphalt. I also read the pictorial, there is a kind of highway called in foreign countries, it is wide and straight, only a small car can walk on this kind of road, I really want to see it. ”
Jing Jian smiled slightly, thinking to himself, if he told Zhao Xia at this time, in less than 30 years, China's highway mileage will surpass that of the United States and become the world's first. Will she think of herself as a fool?
However, with this topic, Jing Jian also felt that it was time for a showdown: "Xia, you still have to go to college for two and a half years." Have you ever thought that after graduation, I will stay in the capital and I will still be in the countryside?"
Zhao Xia was obviously stunned, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"
Jing Jian glanced at Zhao Xia, and saw that her expression was obviously a little flustered, so he continued: "Have you thought about it, maybe you still have the opportunity to go abroad, or even stay in a foreign country, I am just a drag." ”
"What do you think of me?" In a hurry, Zhao Xia scolded out of the vernacular.
Jing Jian smiled, and if he asked any more, it would be embarrassing, so he shut up and continued to move forward. Zhao Xia obviously took a few steps back, and they all became silent. Jing Jian silently counted his steps, this was the time for Zhao Xia to consider and choose.
Looking at Jing Jian's back, Zhao Xia's eyes flashed with struggle. A few times I wanted to open my mouth, and a few times I bit my lip. It wasn't until Jing Jian counted to the beginning of a hundred steps that he heard a trembling plea: "Little baby, you will come to the capital after graduation, okay? ”
In his heart, Jing Jian was not willing to hurt Zhao Xia. So I endured it, and some words must be explained: "Xia! If I want you to believe that I have the ability to do a great business, I have a lot of money." You can live in a villa, buy a luxury car, go to foreign islands on vacation, and go to Paris for shopping. Are you willing to wait for me and stay with me for the rest of my life?"
Jing Jian has decided that no matter what Zhao Xia thinks in her heart, as long as she can give a positive answer, she will do her best to manage this marriage and accompany her for a lifetime.
But Jing Jian gradually became disappointed. He continued to count his steps, and the silence between the two was simply suffocating. The previous words were indeed the truth, but in Zhao Xia's ears, it was like a fantasy. Until he counted to five hundred, Jing Jian secretly sighed: Zhao Xia last night was enjoying a fairy tale, and today's Zhao Xia is thinking about reality. That is, she is good-hearted, too honest, unwilling to tell the truth, and unwilling to deceive herself.
"Kasumi, these are the words from my heart. I am not a bitter scheming, and I use any generosity to win the mercy of your heart, and then tie you to me. I'm genuinely thinking about your future. If there's a good opportunity, take advantage of it. One day husband and wife, I will support any choice you make. If you choose me, of course I'm happy. If there is an alternative, you also give me a good memory. Even if you can't be a husband and wife, you hope to be good friends. ”
Two teardrops the size of beans slipped down Zhao Xia's eyes......
It wasn't until the county seat, before getting on the long-distance bus, that Zhao Xia seemed to make up her mind: "This is a test, I believe in myself." ”
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Thank you!" Hearing that this was Zhao Xia's encouragement for herself, she had actually been shaken quite a lot, and it was difficult to resist any temptation, but ...... I still have to thank her for not giving up in her previous life.
……
Seeing the long-distance bus go away, Jing Jian felt a little lost in his heart, but he was soon buried deep in his heart. Before leaving, he quietly stuffed 100 yuan into Zhao Xia's bag. and secretly promised that if she has a lot of money in the future, she will definitely ensure that she will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. Other than that, ...... There is a saying that is really Jing Jian's heart, you can become good friends when you break up, and you can be a husband and wife for a hundred days!
In fact, Jing Jian has not experienced any love and friendship, and is a little similar to his father Jing Baisheng, ruthless, proud, and heartbroken. And there are some pathological people who think that men should be like this, and they will never regret what they have done wrong. So at this time, he actually felt a little relaxed.
Bidding farewell to a period of the past finally made up for a regret. In other words, it's half of it, after all, it's missing the final break. But it's pretty much the same. After waiting for more than half a year, Zhao Xia was admitted to study abroad, and at the beginning of next year, she set foot on the other side of the ocean, and then it should be the end of the moment.
And Jing Jian didn't think about pursuing any new love immediately, isn't that a brain pump? Now he is facing the problem of surviving after his rebirth.
also gave 200 yuan to the Zhao family, leaving only more than 100 yuan around him. When the land is returned, go back to farming? Not to mention how much grain to borrow, it is really enough to eat. Now you have to earn a living allowance for yourself, to put it simply, you have to have a place to work and move bricks.
I got up early and hurried, and although I had some dry cakes, I was still hungry. Looking left and right, there are few places to eat breakfast outside the bus station. Although the policy has allowed self-employed people, and even township enterprises are thriving, in this small inland county, the concept is still too backward for few to dare to do business.
Finally found a noodle stall with a few tables along the street, Jing Jian didn't care about hygiene, so he found an empty seat to sit down. The camel who was below was busy and glanced at Jing Jian: "Comrade, what do you want?"
"What's the deal, boss?"
Unexpectedly, the camel shook his hand in fright: "I can't afford it." I'm a self-employed worker, and I'm self-reliant!"
Jing Jian was stunned, he didn't expect that a popular title in later generations would be so sensitive now. He suddenly recalled that this camel should be surnamed Chen, relying on the unique skills of hot sauce noodles, and later became a small rich man in the county, and he was famous. I also heard that after getting rich, I married a young daughter-in-law, which is quite smart.
So Jing Jian smiled: "Hot sauce noodles." Add the noodles and the fried egg. ”
"Howler. ”
A bowl of noodles was quickly delivered, full of red oil floating on the soup, and dotted with green onions and garlic leaves. The nose is full of fragrance, and it is covered with a tender yellow omelette, which is appetizing. Jing Jian took a few big sips from the bowl, and then drank a mouthful of soup, and a warm current spread along the esophagus and stomach to the whole body, comfortable!
