Chapter 15: Rakukawa We're back
Outside the shop, Li Huatong discussed with his sister about going down the mountain. My sister really wanted to keep them for lunch, but Tu Tong wanted to go down the mountain quickly and take the guy back to the river. My sister was not reluctant and went to contact the car going down the mountain.
Luckily, they took advantage of a mining boss's jeep, and there were a lot less bumps and tosses along the way. At the gate of the mountain, I thanked the big boss and got out of the car, and the jeep went to the town in a puff of smoke.
Li Huatong gave Xu Ruobin two choices, one was to take a bouncing car to go home and continue to eat dirt all the way. The second is to walk straight home along the railway, with fresh air all the way, and you can also enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, feasting your eyes. Xu Ruobin, playing tricks, he didn't make any choice, he said shamelessly: "This is your territory, you are in charge, I will listen to you!" Li Huatong was very happy to hear this, and before he changed his mind, he quickly used the master's privilege and loudly announced that he would choose the second way. Xu Ruobin understood, stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly: "yes madam!" Li Huatong was not polite, accepted all the orders, and simply shouted "go", and the two of them strode along the sidewalk on the left side of the long railway.
Even though it was summer, it didn't feel very hot because of the greenery on both sides of the railway. Occasionally, a train would speed by, bringing a cool breeze, which made the two of them even more excited, and Li Huatong was a scholar in his childhood and waved to the rushing train. The train reminded her of the happy times of her childhood.
Li Huatong chatted with Xu Ruobin about his childhood all the way, and he listened, occasionally asking one or two questions of interest. Suddenly, Xu Ruobin called out to Li Huatong, pointed to the front of his left head and said: "Xiaotong, look, there is a bush of wild chrysanthemums there, how beautiful it is!" Li Huatong followed the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a bush of wild chrysanthemums not far away, yellow and beautiful. Li Huatong immediately turned into a nymphomaniac, stomped his feet and sprinkled coquettishly, pointed to the bush of flowers and said, "I like it, I want you to fold a few branches for me!" Xu Ruobin has never seen Li Huatong look like such a little woman, so he hurriedly cooperated with her, ran over in three steps and two steps, folded a few of the best-looking ones and gave them to Li Huatong.
The fragrance of wild chrysanthemums is refreshing, Li Huatong closed her eyes, sniffed lightly with her nose, and her face was intoxicated, as if she had returned to her familiar childhood. She is too familiar with this place, every midsummer, her hometown is full of mountains and fields, full of yellow wild chrysanthemums, and the fragrance of wild chrysanthemums is everywhere. The mother would pick a lot of it, carefully clean it, rinse it with water, and then dry it and put it in a pillowcase to make a pillow core. When you go on the pillow at night, you can not only smell the fragrance of wild chrysanthemums all over the house, but also have the effect of reducing fire and poisoning. When he was young, on the way from school, Li Huatong always liked to fold some wild chrysanthemums home and insert them into glass wine bottles with water, and the chrysanthemums bloomed for a long time without defeat. Looking at the beautiful flowers on the windowsill or on the desk, no matter how many troubles Li Huatong has in his heart, he will throw them out of the clouds.
Seeing Li Huatong in a daze, Xu Ruobin shook his hand in front of her eyes, but it was useless, and he couldn't wake her up. had to take her whole person into his arms, and said coquettishly with a smile: "Leave me to travel back to my childhood! Bad girl!" Holding a wild chrysanthemum in one hand to avoid his hug, the other hand pushed him away, and said anxiously, "My flower, my flower! Don't spoil it, she has a life!" Xu Ruobin saw that she was such a nymphomaniac, and a big man couldn't be jealous of flowers, so he simply reconciled, and continued to walk forward with Li Huatong in his arms.
Happy times are always so short-lived, two people talk and laugh, and before they know it, they have arrived home.
Back at home, Li Huatong's mother quickly started the grand hospitality mode. She told Li Huatong to take Xu Ruobin to sit in the inner room, took out the best tea leaves and the most exquisite tea sets at home from the cabinet, and personally poured water and made tea for Xu Ruobin. Talking and laughing, within a few minutes, Xu Ruobin's surname was who, the unit worked, where his hometown was, and the situation of family members such as grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, all of which she felt clearly.
Li Huatong sat on the side, unable to say half a sentence at all, so he had to watch Xu Ruobin being beaten by his mother, losing his armor, and spitting lotus flowers without knowing it. Li Huatong hoped that he could save himself, and he was happy to watch from the wall while knocking on melon seeds. Fortunately, the battle was quickly resolved, and my mother did not fall in love with war after the victory. She started to get busy making lunch.
Xu Ruobin didn't dare to sit in the room drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and followed closely behind Li Huatong's mother, sincerely asking for a little help. He was very smart, and soon found out what he could do, sitting in front of the stove, insisting on helping to pull the bellows, and Li Huatong's mother couldn't get rid of him no matter what she said. Seeing that the two of them were very resolute and arguing, it was really going to become the scene of a car accident in the country of gentlemen. Li Huatong couldn't stand it, so she bent down against her mother and whispered to her mother: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a policeman, he has a lot of energy, he likes to work, let him do it!" The mother glared at her unceremoniously, she knew that her mother was telling her with her eyes: You girl is too bad, it will make people think that our Li family is too uneducated! She pretended not to see it, just lowered her head to help her mother pick vegetables. Xu Ruobin heard it, and also saw his mother's eyes, and looked at Li Huatong with a wicked smile. Li Huatong knew that there were at least two meanings, one was to show off that he had won the glorious task of pulling the bellows, and the other was to tell her: Even on your Li Huatong's territory, there are people who support him!
Because he had just eaten a big bowl of noodles before going down the mountain, Xu Ruobin was a little panicked when he saw the grand posture of Li Huatong's mother, and he seized the opportunity to ask Li Huatong for help, hoping that she would tell her mother that lunch should be as simple as possible and not too troublesome. However, this is the first time he Xu Ruobin has come, and it will be easy to get there, and Li Huatong's mother will definitely not easily bypass him and let him have a simple meal. Li Huatong's mother did her best in her life to present all the best meals and snacks that the family could make, including egg leek boxes, spinach and egg pancakes, etc., which filled the table. Li Huatong looked at the table full of food with cold eyes, as well as his mother's firepower to persuade him to eat, and then looked at poor Xu Ruobin, scratching his head and worrying. No matter what, she can't save Xu Ruobin today.
The final result can be imagined, Xu Ruobin touched his stomach and shouted vigorously, while Li Huatong covered his mouth and snickered proudly.
It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to go anyway. Sending them to the west entrance of the village, Xu Ruobin insisted on letting the old man stay. The two of them hurried to the station with a bunch of things, boarded the last long-distance bus, and set off to return to Luochuan.
Xu was confused after the meal, Li Huatong leaned on Xu Ruobin's shoulder as soon as she got in the car, and slept all the way in a daze, until the car entered Luochuan City, she didn't wake up.
Looking at the familiar scenery, she wanted to shout, Luochuan, we are back!
Yes, it is always a pleasant thing to return to a familiar place and see a familiar scenery.
Li Huatong is a person who misses the past, the people of the past, the things of the past, and the places of the past always make her unforgettable. However, the days had to pass day by day, and every day changed, and she had to shake off the dust from her body and keep moving forward.
The two of them sent large bags of things to Li Huatong's dormitory first. Li Huatong changed his clothes, and the two of them came out again. Because the meal at noon was too full, Xu Ruobin kept clamoring for Li Huatong to be responsible, and Li Huatong could only accompany him to the Qinghe River to walk and eat.
After a few days of not seeing, Qinghe has become more beautiful. The Qinghe Bridge is like a rainbow, shining under the light mapping, which is exceptionally beautiful. There were already a lot of people by the river, and the children were playing excitedly.
Li Huatong and Xu Ruobin walked along the Qinghe River, feeling the liveliness of Luochuan.
Suddenly, the two children chased after each other and almost crashed into Li Huatong's body. Li Huatong bent down and helped the little girl who wanted to fall to the ground. smiled and said, "Little girl, why are you running so fast, you will fall." The little girl turned to the boy and replied sharply: "It's all his fault, he's been chasing me!" The boy touched his head a little shyly, and said seriously: "Sister Tingting ran too fast, I'm afraid she will fall! Mother said that boys should protect girls!" Li Huatong listened, touched the heads of the two children, and said, "Both are good children, go play!" Let the two of them go.
The farther west you go, the fewer people there are, and the quieter surroundings become. Xu Ruobin leaned up and hugged Li Huatong, and said softly in her ear: "Xiaotong, in this life, let me protect you!" Li Huatong didn't speak, his head moved closer to Xu Ruobin's shoulder, and nodded gently.
Li Huatong also thought about the future life of the two of them. They will form a small family, step by step, plain, simple, because of their gentle temperament, two people will not blush and quarrel thickly, nor will they start to fight hysterically. They will work hard, do a good job, and strive to reach a new level in the careers of both parties. They will give birth to a boy, or a girl is better, and then they will educate the child seriously, like other parents, enroll the child in a tutorial class, and try to train the child to be a college student, no, at least a master's student, of course, it would be best if he could get a doctorate. They will honor their parents on both sides, and every once in a while they will bring their grandchildren or granddaughters home to see them, so that they will not worry about their work. Everything in the future can be vaguely seen, it seems to be within reach, everything is plain and beautiful.
Xu Ruobin saw that Li Huatong fell into deep thought, didn't speak for a long time, turned his head curiously, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask our Xiaotong what he is thinking, with a serious face!" Li Huatong came back to his senses, looked at Xu Ruobin's soft face under the light, couldn't help but kiss him on the face, and then turned around and walked back quickly.
Xu Ruobin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up, still whispering all the way: "Come and don't be rude!" Li Huatong deliberately quickened his pace, waiting for Xu Ruobin to catch up with a smile on his face.
