Chapter 7: The Reason for the Breakup
Da'an, who is about to face the graduation assignment, is busy preparing for graduation, when he first entered the school, because he was refined, when he was selected as a cadre in the first class, he was elected as the class president, and for more than two years, the work in the class has been in the forefront of the whole school, and he has won the trust of his classmates and teachers, and it is based on this that he has become a busy person in the class because of his imminent graduation, he has become a busy person in the class, on the one hand, he listens to the needs of his classmates, helps the counselor to do the ranking of the work assignment of the classmates, and on the other hand, prepares for his graduation exam.
"Da'an, Mr. Wang told you to go to his office. Classmate Yu Da shouted to Da'an, who was discussing the work assignment with his classmates.
"Okay!" Daan agreed, walking out of the classroom.
Because graduation was imminent, there were a lot of things that the counselor Mr. Wang asked him to discuss in the past two days, but Da'an didn't think much about it, so he knocked on Mr. Wang's office.
"Your telegram, saying that you have an urgent matter at home!" said the counselor, showing a hint of surprise, and handed Da'an a telegram.
Da An took the telegram and glanced at it, frowned for a moment, and then stretched out, "This ......", Da An wanted to speak and stopped.
Teacher Wang seemed to see something and said, "It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday, you go back in the morning to deal with it, and come back on Sunday." ”
"Okay!" Da'an was full of gratitude when he saw Teacher Wang's trusting eyes towards him. When I came out of Mr. Wang's place, I thought about it.
Although the telegram only said that there was an urgent matter at home, now that Sanxia is very busy, what urgent matter can there be? It is almost certain to say that the so-called urgent matter is his own marriage. This can't help but be reminiscent of the letter I wrote to Huiqin a few days ago.
"The letter mentioning the breakup was a decision that I had thought about for a long time, and it was also a long-term consideration I had recently made from the perspective of work assignment and my future. In terms of appearance, Hui Qin can be said to be one in a million, worthy of herself, in terms of conduct, there is nothing to blame, knowing the past three years, she cares more about me than any person around her, in order to knit a sweater for me, she will always be busy with the work of the farm during the day, and often sit under the lamp at night to weave for half a night, in the two years of school, she gave me all the money she saved to buy books and school supplies, lest she let herself be wronged in school, although she has not passed the door, for herself, she has become a member of the family, she is a good girl, if there is no Xia Juan confessed to herself a few days ago, she is the most intimate person, but also the person who understands her heart best!”
Da'an paced to the rockery in the school yard, and the stone pier by the pool in front of the mountain was the stone pier that Xia Juan invited him to sit on, and Xia Juan's words to him were still in his ears. Compared with Xia Juan and Hui Qin, she is also a good girl who is knowledgeable, but she always has to choose between these two people, and Xia Juan's confession did come a little suddenly, so she didn't answer Xia Juan positively at that time, but she always had to give someone a clear response, so after thinking about it again and again, she decided to write the letter to Hui Qin, although the content of the letter was very euphemistically rejected by Hui Qin, but she was still very guilty of this good girl who had taken her heart out of herself.
At this time, Da'an really couldn't figure out how he had this relationship debt, and Da'an suddenly thought of what a classmate had mentioned: "People sometimes have to believe in fate, and if they violate their fate, it will be against the will of heaven, and if they violate the will of heaven, God will punish people." This is too reasonable for Da'an at this time, one is the fiancée who has been dating for three years, and the other is a classmate who has been studying with the same student for three years, where is the providence? Da'an kept asking himself, staring blankly at the two butterflies chasing each other on the lake, thoughtful, suddenly sighed, and made up his mind to go back first.
Early Saturday morning, Da'an got on the bus home, although there were only 200 miles from the provincial capital to home, waiting for the car, transferring, waiting for the car, and then transferring, tossing along the way, coupled with the roasting of the hot sun, his clothes had already been soaked with sweat, but despite this, Da'an did not have a moment to rest, for the urgent matters mentioned in the telegram, although he guessed eight or nine times out of ten. If it is really his own marriage, the moment he returns home, he must make a clear statement in front of so many people.
When the bus slowly drove into the commune station, Daan saw Wei Hong standing at the gate of the waiting room of the station through the window, his eyes looked at the incoming vehicles from time to time, Daan hurriedly stretched his hand out of the window and waved it to Wei Hong a few times, Wei Hong hurriedly ran over, pushed up the bicycle parked not far away, and followed the vehicle into the station.
"I've been waiting for you for almost an hour!" Wei Hong complained to Da An, who had just gotten out of the car.
"You know where the car comes, there are only two shifts a day, and one shift in the afternoon is this point, it's useless for you to come early?" Da'an said in a somewhat critical tone.
"Don't ask yourself, if everyone hadn't waited in a hurry, would I have come so early?" Wei Hong came so early, why did she come so early? Don't you appreciate it?" Wei Hong glared at his brother who was standing in front of him.
"Quick, get in the car, you take me, everyone is waiting for you at home?" Wei Hong urged.
Daan didn't respond, took the handlebar from his sister's hand, and got into the car.
"If there's anything urgent at home, tell me about it!" Da'an asked when his sister got into the car.
"It's your marriage, they said that you were going to withdraw from the marriage, and people came to the door, so they sent you a telegram and came back to deal with it! Because of this matter, the family is in a hurry! You will know when you get home!" Wei Hong really couldn't tell, so in the end, he pushed the problem onto the family, and he didn't want to explain more.
Da'an understands that the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the purpose of everyone asking him to come is to untie the knots here.
It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when the brother and sister returned home, and for his arrival, the village, which was about to be quiet after three summers, immediately boiled again, and there was hardly a topic of discussion on the streets that was not related to the return of Da'an.
Da'an, who had just entered the house, saw Lao Mu standing in the courtyard looking at the sky in a daze.
"Cousin is here!" Daan greeted his cousin who was standing in the courtyard.
"I'm back! I've been waiting for you here for a long time! I'm afraid you won't come back?" said Lao Muying.
"Why don't you come back if you have something at home?" Da'an said as he went directly into the house, and Lao Mu followed him into the house.
"Mother, let me come back, is it a matter of marriage?" Da'an asked his mother, who was sitting in the room pressing a board.
"Do you still know about marriage? What did you say to Hui Qin? Where are people sorry for you? If you don't want to, mention breaking up early, and then mention it, how can you make everyone figure it out? This makes people come to the house, do you think it's good-looking?" Old Aunt Mu asked like a cannonball, so that Da'an didn't know where to start.
Lao Mu watched the girl say such a call, he originally wanted to say his cousin's words to his mouth and swallowed back, he silently watched his cousin take the water cup on the board and drink it all, and then sat on the other side of the board with Lao Mu.
"I want to start from the beginning, let you also advise me!" Daan opened his chatterbox.
"Just ten days ago, a female classmate named Xia Juan in our class told me that she wanted to leave me in the provincial capital and wanted to be a member of her family in the future. I wasn't impressed when I heard it, so I didn't say anything right away, I just said let me think about it. ”
"Then what about later? Later, you proposed to break up with Huiqin!" asked the old Mu Gu eagerly.
"After she told me, I have been thinking about it, if I am sorry for Huiqin not to say it, it will also make me very embarrassed, I thought about it for a long time, and asked Xia Juan to tell her that my family is rural, and it is more suitable for me to go back to my hometown to work, so I didn't promise her. ”
"Then why is there such a thing, do you go to school for a few years, you look down on mud legs, you also think about it, our ancestors are several generations, all of them are rural people, and Huiqin is also a good girl who is one in a million, you don't look down on rural people because you have been in school for a few days, and want to get out of marriage! I won't agree here!" Old Aunt Mu said angrily.
"How can it be? The problem is more serious than you think, on the day I proposed to Xia Juan, Xia Juan's father asked Xia Juan to ask me to go outside the school for a detailed talk, he told me that staying in the provincial capital can allow me to develop very well, and can also help me solve the family's household registration problem in the future, Xia Juan is his only daughter, so it is not the most important thing for the family to choose a son-in-law, the important thing is me, he also said that he appreciates me very much, that is, he can't be his son-in-law, and he also wants me to be his godson!" Speaking of this, Daan picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
"He is definitely the leader of the province's public security system, even our principal respects him very much, Xia Juan did not know her identity at the beginning, but now she told me about it, which shows her trust in me, and she is really good to me! Later, I really had no choice, so I proposed that I already had a girlfriend in my hometown, so she took out many examples of celebrities to compare, told me a lot, and asked her to be one of the best female classmates in the class to do my work. Da An'an paused.
"Just a few nights after his father talked to me, he never slept well, and his mind was full of thoughts about my personal problems, I was really confused, Huiqin was good to me, everyone knew it, but what about the future? Once we get married, who will we rely on in the future, and where will we go? In terms of current personal development, I am more suitable for working in the city, that is, I will marry Huiqin in the future, not to mention the separation of the two places in the future, no matter how good Huiqin is, it is also an agricultural hukou, and it is a problem to work in the city, not only her job is a problem, but also an agricultural hukou in the future, and it is also a problem to solve it, and the problems in front of her are not one, but a string. If he becomes the son-in-law of the Xia family in the future, he will definitely be able to make achievements in his career, although Xia Juan is not as beautiful as Hui Qin, but he also has true feelings for himself, and he has not taken care of himself in the past two years, but he has not expressed his love, and his expression now really makes him unguardable. The ancients had the idea that they could not have both fish and bear's paws, and how to deal with love and career? I was really embarrassed! With a tentative mentality, I wrote a letter to Hui Qin. It's just that in the future, we can't be together all day long, it will be very painful! What do you think I should do?" Da'an's last sentence was obviously like leaving his future to his relatives and friends here to decide.
Everyone was silent, Lao Mu took out a cigarette and lit it, spitting out clouds and mist, and there was no speech. "After all, this is my cousin's lifelong decision, this decision is the fate of his life, not all a marriage, now that the marriage is withdrawn, it is very likely that everything will go smoothly in the future, and even soaring, this is not accurate, I offended my relatives is small, and my cousin's future is a big deal!" Not only do you not want to be Chen Shimei, we don't lack food now, we don't lack clothes, and there is no need to recognize any godfather and be someone's godson!"
Lao Mu took a hard puff of his cigarette, "This matter, it seems that it is not as simple as we think, it is related to your future job and livelihood, so you really have to think about it seriously." This is an important choice in your life, and your family does not have the right to decide. I wonder if you mentioned to your female classmate that you have a girlfriend?"
"I didn't tell her directly, and I never told my classmates in the past two years, so I guess she shouldn't know about her girlfriend!" Daan was almost certain of his guess.
"Maybe it's better to tell her directly, so that you can see how deep her feelings are for you!" Old Mu thought for a while, and came up with such a nonsensical sentence.
"You really want him to climb high!" retorted Old Mugu.
"Marriage pays attention to the right family, our family business, Brother Huiqin is working in the county government, although his father is not there early, but the elders are also scholarly, and it is also a blessing for us to find such a daughter-in-law, as for staying in the provincial capital now, you will definitely be able to mix up your personal appearance!
The cigarette between Lao Mu's fingers had burned out, and he took out a new one.
"This matter, don't let Hui Qin be sad first, it's the busy season of three summers in the countryside, although it is nearing the end, but there is still farm work to sweep the tail, so don't say you don't agree, otherwise everyone has no heart to use it on farm work, and it is also a year's livelihood, and when the busy season is over, you should come back, and then deal with this matter well, do you think it's okay?" Lao Mu's compromise words really worked.
"That's okay, during this time, I'm very busy at school, reviewing for exams, and there are a lot of things in the class, let's deal with the past period of time first, as for how to tell Xia Juan, I'll find a way!" Da'an stood up, went to the courtyard water tank, scooped a scoop of water into the basin, and washed it.
Lao Mu Gu looked at Da'an's back and said to Lao Mu: "Go and explain it to others today, don't guess that it's either wind or rain!"
"Okay, I'll let Xiuhua go to my cousin's house when I go back, don't do anything unexpected again!"
Daan came back from washing his face, sat on the bench again, and stared out the door without words.
"Let your cousin go back and call your cousin-in-law, comfort them, and you go with you, don't cause anything." Everyone won't look good then!" Old Aunt Mu said in a somewhat tough tone.
"Okay, it's getting late in a while, let's go now! I'm going back to school tomorrow!" Da'an finished speaking, stood up and went out with Lao Mu.
Zhangwang Village, where Huiqin's house is located, is about 20 miles away from Liu Village, and when you go to Zhangwang from Liu Village, you happen to pass by Dawangzhuang, and you just get on the way to pick up Xiuhua. After Da'an saw his cousin-in-law, he greeted him politely, and Lao Mu simply explained to Xiuhua what he meant to go to Huiqin's house together, so Xiuhua let Xiuhua get on Lao Mu's bicycle and go out of the house and ride towards Huiqin's house. Everyone had nothing to say all the way, and everyone thought about their own things.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them arrived at Hui Qin's house, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw Hui Qin helping her mother busy sorting bean seeds.
"Cousin, how busy are you?" said hello to Xiuhua first.
"Sister, come inside and drink water. Huiqin's mother said hello, and then stopped what she was doing to wash her hands.
"Cousin!" Hui Qin saw Da'an, only called her cousin, and then bowed her head shyly and entered the West House next to the hall.
Lao Mu and Da'an also greeted Huiqin's mother, and then entered the hall together and sat down.
"Cousin, the matter of my cousin and cousin, no one in the family knows, what the two of them said, everyone is a second monk - I don't know what to do, I didn't sleep all night last night, and yesterday I telegraphed to ask my cousin to come back, no, my cousin just arrived at home, we came to your house, let the two of them meet and talk!" Lao Mu said, pouting to Da'an Yinu, who was sitting next to him. Da'an understood and stood up: "Auntie, I'll go talk to Hui Qin alone!"
After saying that, he walked out of the hall and went to the Westinghouse. This west house is a special house for Hui Qin's brother to come home, in the eyes of rural people, the layout is very chic, a bed, a cupboard, a chair and a writing desk, through the window glass, you can see that all kinds of clothes are neatly stacked inside, there is a stack of books on the desk, when Da'an enters, Hui Qin is sitting at the desk looking at the stack of books in a daze.
"It's all my fault these days, one of my ideas has misunderstood you, what the letter says is not suitable, because I recently heard that after working as a public security officer, I will travel more in the future and will not be very stable, so I am afraid that you will be wronged, you may understand that I have changed my mind!" Da'an closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, breaking the embarrassment of the two looking at each other.
"You don't make it clear, what kind of work do you do, I also support you, although you think about me, but I don't know the reason, I received the letter and made me cry for half a night, I don't know what to do, until my mother asked about it, I went to your house to say, otherwise I don't know how to live?" Hui Qin's words expressed her heart, but these words vibrated Da'an's heart very much.
"Breaking up makes her not know how to live?" Although these words are serious, they are sincere, and Daan re-tastes the last few words in his heart.
"How could I break up for no reason! It's just that I'm afraid that you will be lonely in the future because of my work, so I tell you the truth. Daan said with a little guilt.
"I understand you, how can I not support your work?"
"That's everyone's misunderstanding, I've been very busy at school recently, and this time it's fortunately Saturday, otherwise I don't know how to ask for leave to come back?" Da'an saw that Huiqin didn't speak, and continued: "After graduation, I plan to work in the area, and I don't have much time to go home, so you should be mentally prepared!"
"It's okay, I understand you and support you!" Hui Qin said, rubbing a piece of red head rope on her hand.
"Then let's go back, during this period, the family is busy with farming, and I have a lot of things to do at school, before graduation, I won't write to you, and when the work is assigned during the holidays, I will come to your house again!
"Of course I don't have an opinion, I just hope you can get good grades in school!" Hui Qin said a little innocently.
"Then we'll stop soon, and tomorrow morning, I'll rush back to school, and we'll talk about it on the holidays. Daan admonished.
"Okay!" Hui Qin said, standing up and opening the back closet, taking out a few ten-yuan bills from one of the clothes and handing them to Da'an, "Give you this fifty yuan as travel expenses, if you need money during this period, send me a telegram, I will prepare it for you!"
"Well, why do I keep spending your money!"
"Now it's you and me, and we will be a family in the future!" Hui Qin said a little more about the family, and Da'an was embarrassed to get up and took it.
"Then let's go!" Da'an said and opened the door and came out into the hall, Hui Qin's mother and Lao Mu were still playing the house, seeing Da'an come out, everyone stopped talking, Da'an came in the door, and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's not too early, we should also go back, I have to go back to school tomorrow, I have discussed everything with Hui Qin, let you worry!" Hui Qin, who entered the hall after him, also showed joy, which naturally made everyone feel relieved.
When Da'an returned home, the sun had turned into a big fireball, burning half of the sky in the west of the mountain, tomorrow is still a good weather, the old Mu Gu simply asked about Da'an's situation, and then relieved his heart, there was nothing to say all night here, Da'an returned to school without mentioning.
When Lao Mu returned home, his heart was like pouring a five-flavor bottle. At that time, he once told his wife that his cousin was admitted to school, and if he couldn't do it, he would withdraw the marriage, but his wife thought that marriage was a matter of two people, and he couldn't say that he would quit the marriage, as long as the two people were willing, and others said that they would withdraw from the marriage, wouldn't that be a demolition of other people's marriages? Maybe because of this marriage, the scope of my cousin's development will be determined!"
When Lao Mu told Xiuhua in detail about his cousin's life at school, Xiuhua was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and suddenly two words "Providence!" suddenly popped up and lay down and fell asleep.
