Chapter 2 Meet the Mulberry
got his father's promise, Xiao Qi smiled like a flower, "The Jiangnan of my dreams, I'm finally coming." After going home and packing his luggage briefly, Xiao Qi decided to go to see the third sister before setting off, and say goodbye to her by the way.
The third sister married in the next county, and it was only an hour's drive from Xiaoqi's family to get together. The third sister has been married for the first two years, and she will often come back with the third brother-in-law, but later, the third brother-in-law is not very old, and the third sister only comes back for the New Year's holiday.
Every time the third sister comes back, Xiao Qi always has to sleep with her, at first the third sister will talk to Xiao Qi about a lot of fun things, but then the third sister becomes more and more silent, in the dead of night, the sleepy-eyed Xiao Qi can still hear the third sister's sobbing.
Xiao Qi asked the third sister, and the third sister said that she had a nightmare, so she didn't care.
Until one time, the third sister came back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and just had dinner, the third brother-in-law came, full of alcohol, scolding, to the effect that the third sister would not give birth. The third sister cried very sadly, and Xiao Qi also cried. Since that fight, the third sister has come less often.
Just thinking about it, the bus driver urged Xiao Qi to get off the bus quickly and arrived at the station. Although I went to the county where the third sister lived, I had to walk another half an hour to get to the third sister's house.
On the road, I happened to meet the market, and both sides of the road were full of all kinds of gadgets and snacks.
"Zhuang Xiaoqi!" A palm slapped on Xiao Qi's shoulder, Xiao Qi was startled, and looked at it, it was her junior high school classmate Sangzi.
Sang Zi is Xiao Qi's junior high school classmate, straightforward temperament, the two were inseparable good friends when they were in school, Sang Zi is simple, and he has nothing to say about Xiao Qi. Later, Xiaoqi was admitted to high school, but Sang Zi did not continue his studies because his family conditions did not allow him. So it's been three years since the two met this time, but they still haven't weakened each other's enthusiasm.
"Are you coming to your third sister?Why are you carrying your luggage?Are you going to live at your third sister's house?" Xiao Qi was asked by her series of questions, and she didn't know how to answer well.
"I'm coming to see my third sister, and then I'm going to Jiangnan. Xiao Qi replied with a smile.
"Jiangnan! Are you really going? Your parents agreed? Great, your dream has come true!" Mulberry exclaimed excitedly, "I really want to go, I also want to see the outside world, if I can go to Jiangnan, it will be in vain." ”
"It would be nice if the two of us could go together, but we have to get your parents' permission first. Xiao Qi couldn't help but be happy when he heard that Sang Zi also had the idea of going to Jiangnan, after all, it was better for two people to be companions than one person.
Sangzi's home is not far from the third sister's house, Sangzi hopes that Xiao Qi can stay for a few more days, she wants to take advantage of these days to persuade her parents to go to Jiangnan with Xiao Qi.
Sangzi also has four brothers and sisters in the family, she is the third, one brother and one sister above, and one younger brother below.
Sangzi didn't have a high status at home, and her parents have always been patriarchal, and they always wanted her to work earlier. At that time, there happened to be a few families in the county whose children went out to work, some went to Jiangnan, some went to Guangdong, and Sangzi also heard from adults that it was very developed and there were many opportunities, in short, it was better than here.
She tried to talk to her parents about her thoughts, and she thought they would agree. Unexpectedly, they objected, and her mother directly told her that she was going to let her marry early, and she had already told her about matchmaking.
Mulberry listened to it like a muffled thunder above his head, his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't even say anything to refuse. When he came to his senses, Sangzi said loudly that he was not married, and that he must go out to have a look! She thought about going to Xiao Qi to discuss, crying and running at the same time.
When Xiao Qi arrived at the third sister's house, he heard a noise in the house. As soon as I heard that the third sister and the third brother-in-law were quarreling again, as well as the third brother-in-law's in-laws, Xiao Qi vaguely heard "What's the use of a hen that can't lay eggs?!" Xiao Qi wanted to rush in and scold them all, but the third sister told her that if her mother's family helped her out, she would be even more miserable in this family.
Xiao Qi couldn't help but didn't walk in. Wandering outside the courtyard of the third sister's house. At this time, a crying "Xiao Qi" came, Xiao Qi looked back and saw that it was a mulberry, and she cried like a tearful person.
"Sangzi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qi asked anxiously.
"My parents asked me to marry and didn't allow me to go to Jiangnan. After saying that, Mulberry cried even more sadly.
"Don't cry, don't cry, let's figure it out together. Xiao Qi said while wiping his tears for Mulberry.
The two came to the river and sat down, Zhuang Xiaoqi was full of emotion, she always felt that life is very short, and she must be with someone who loves each other, well, in the future, she must find someone who loves herself so much, and she also loves him deeply. Xiao Qi thought of the unhappy marriage of the third sister, and felt that Sang Zi couldn't marry in a hurry like this, but what could he do?
"Xiao Qi, you take me with you, I don't want to get married. Mulberry suddenly said very calmly.
Xiao Qi's sense of justice was bursting at this time, and she felt that she must take the mulberry out, as if the mulberry would be happy in this way.
"Sango, let's go together. ”
"Really?Xiao Qi, are you willing to take me with you?" the tears in Mulberry's eyes also seemed to glow.
"Sangzi, you go home and bring your ID card, and we'll leave tonight. Xiao Qi also said to Sangzi calmly.
In this way, the two girls who have just become adults have made their own life choices. Years later, Xiao Qi would always shed tears when he recalled the scene with Mulberry by the river. When you are young, you are fearless, and it is good to be young.
