Li Yadong is not a sentimental person, but sometimes he is still easily affected by the emotions of others, especially those he cares about.

The day of parting finally came, Hu Xiuying had already made up her mind to happily send her son to college, after all, this is a great thing to honor her ancestors, but when it comes to the end, she still can't stop her tears.

"Xiaodong, take care of yourself when you get to college, remember to eat on time, the family is not short of money now, don't be as troublesome as your eldest brother, eat the last meal and ignore the next meal, and then get hungry and have a stomach problem. When you get to the place, remember to send a letter to home......"

In the hall of Lao Li's house, Hu Xiuying sat on a bench and grabbed her son's hand, chattering with tears in her eyes, as if there was always something to say. Li Yadong sat aside and listened quietly.

"Okay, mother, Xiaodong is going to go to college, and it's not that he won't come back, and it's not a few months before the Chinese New Year. ”

Li Yamin came back last night, and today he specially took a day off to send his younger brother to the provincial capital. In his opinion, the little brother has never been out of the county since he is so old, and there must be a lot of inconveniences on the road, so why not let him, the eldest brother, help him get into the car?

"Don't say it, don't say it......" Hu Xiuying understood that what her eldest son said was reasonable, and after waving her hand, she burst into tears and laughed.

"Xiaodong, my sister boiled a few eggs for you, and I didn't put them in my bag, you carried them on the road to eat by yourself, I heard that you have to take a train for two days and two nights, why is it so far?"

When Li Chunlan was bright, she came back with her husband and son, and she couldn't get anything good at home, so she boiled all the dozen or so eggs that she had saved for a while.

"Brother, do you really want me to go?" asked Li Yajun hesitantly.

"What are you going to do, can I still lose people and waste car money. Li Yamin waved his hand, a trip from home to the provincial capital is not cheap, one person has to spend several yuan, and it is enough to pay half a year's tuition for the child in the future.

Li Dongmei doesn't like to talk much when there are many people, but she just smirks at her brother with red eyes.

"Alright, okay, so be it. Xiaodong, take the things, let's leave early, and we have to make a few transfers. Li Yamin saw that it was not early, and hurriedly urged.

Li Yadong didn't bring too many salutes, originally his mother packed two big bags for him, one was a change of clothes, the other was a souvenir or something from the family, and there were two quilts, one thin and one thick. He looked like his head was big, and he ended up with only the bag of clothes. His mother has been pestering for a long time, but she can't say it, so she has to give up.

Of course, Li Yadong didn't know at this time that the two thousand yuan he personally handed over to his mother last night, except for too many bits and pieces, the rest of the big tickets were all in this nylon woven bag.

"Xiaodong, you have to carry the bag, I heard them say that the train is very messy, it's best to hold it in your arms. The family walked out of the door together, and Hu Xiu still reminded him with some worry.

"Mother, I know, I'm not a child, you've been talking about it several times. Li Yadong wanted to smile very much, but looking at his mother and two sisters with red eyes, he smiled awkwardly.

The people in the village came to see him off, a large piece of black pressure, almost no empty hands, two eggs in this family, two handfuls of peanuts in that family, Li Yadong couldn't take it, and finally he could only refuse one by one. It's not a valuable thing, but it represents the real hearts of the villagers.

Li Yadong was thinking at this time, it was his honor to be born in this small mountain village, God had better not let him be too rich, otherwise he would come back another day and push all the broken walls and tiles in the village, one building at a time, the kind with tiles.

"Mother, brother, sister. Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, then I will leave first, and I will come back to see you after the Chinese New Year!"

Li Yadong didn't bow to them or anything, just smiled and waved his hand, then threw the nylon woven bag on his shoulder, and followed the eldest brother to the entrance of the village.

"Xiaodong, read it hard, and strive to stay in the capital and become a big official in the future!"

"Yes, don't let the people in the big city look down on us rural children. ”

"yes, mix it up and let them see!"

"What's that...... Xiaodong, I heard that you can deal with a partner in college, and it is best to turn a beautiful daughter-in-law from the capital back. ”

"Haha......"

With the straightforward but simple blessings of the villagers behind him, Li Yadong took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and tried not to let the tears fall......

When I return home, I will make this laughter even more cheerful.

Originally, the two of them planned to go directly to the township to take a bus, after all, it was a long way out, and it was not convenient to borrow a bicycle, but not long after leaving the village, they found that the dirt road in front of them was blocked by an ox cart.

A guy with a big straw hat with a thatch in his mouth was lying on the board and shaking Erlang's legs.

"Isn't the deal done?" asked Li Yadong with a smile.

"What about it, it's only a few dollars, can it be compared to you, a future official?" Zhang Chunxi lifted the big straw hat on his head and said seriously: "My little black will give it to you for the first time, don't be too slow." ”

The cattle of this year are treasures, except when the farm is busy, they usually have to be served by the ancestors, so many people are reluctant to press the cart frame for the cattle. Li Yadong glanced at the brand-new frame and knew that it was newly made, obviously this kid had secretly put a lot of effort into this day.

What else can you say, good brothers in the two worlds, if I Li Yadong has a bite to eat in this life, you Zhang Chunxi will drink a mouthful of soup.

The ox cart walked slowly, Zhang Chunxi, the junior brother, was a thief with poor skills, which made Li Yadong and Li Yamin cry bitterly, and they didn't dare to sit down, and finally simply squatted on the car board.

"Xiaodong, is there any? If there is, pull it quickly, I heard them say that the toilet on the train is occupied by someone, don't dirty your pants then, haha......" Zhang Chunxi himself didn't care at all, just like a person with motion sickness who is not afraid of driving, he laughed happily at his appearance.

"Get out!" Li Yadong was annoyed and angry, mainly after he said this, he really felt a little embarrassed, which was more embarrassing.

Then came to the township, before getting on the bus, Li Yadong really found a toilet and relaxed.

Zhang Chunxi finally sniffed the bus exhaust and sent them away, and after the two arrived in the county, Chen Yue'e and Li Tingting had been waiting for a long time outside the simple long-distance bus station.

"Did you buy a ticket?" asked Li Yamin, looking at his wife.

"I bought it early, I see that you haven't come yet, you're all dying, and you're about to leave. Chen Yue'e let out a long breath and took out two tickets from the pockets of her floral pants.

It is very convenient to buy a ticket in these years, as long as you give money, the resident ID card has not come out in 84 years, and it is more troublesome to take a plane, and you need a household registration book and a letter issued by the unit.

After a short period of cold booing with his sister-in-law and Tingting, Li Yadong was pulled into the car by his eldest brother, and the long-distance bus rumbled forward, and this nineteen-year-old body finally left the county for the first time.

When they arrived at the provincial train station, it was already afternoon, and the two of them, who were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, first found a small restaurant, and after a bowl of fragrant hot dry noodles were put into their stomachs, they came back to life in an instant.

"That's what it smells like. Li Yadong licked his lips stained with sesame paste, with an aftertaste, for some reason, he couldn't taste such authentic hot dry noodles for many years later, and he couldn't make it himself, no matter how exquisite the ingredients were.

"Have you ever eaten hot dry noodles before?" Li Yamin felt a little disappointed, thinking that he had brought his little brother to taste it.

"Isn't there one next to the No. 2 middle school in the county?"

"That can't be compared, the taste is far worse. Li Yamin said disdainfully.

"Oh...... I'm eating about the same. Li Yadong smiled, thinking that he had to be vigilant at all times, otherwise if he leaked his mouth, he would have to come back with a lie, which was really not what he wanted.

Eating and buying tickets are all the money spent by the eldest brother, and Li Yadong still has a hundred yuan left in his pocket, and he really wants to take it out, but if he thinks about it, forget it, if he is really only nineteen years old, he will definitely do this, but he is not.

At some point, we can't overstep our responsibilities, especially in front of our own relatives, the eldest brother has to let him do what the eldest brother should do, although it is bitter, but he must enjoy it. On the contrary, it is easy to have a gap in the heart.

Many factors of family discord often accumulate in this way, and then erupt.

When night fell, the train started slowly, the eldest brother stood on the platform for a long time and was reluctant to leave, he was a person who was not good at expressing himself, and at this moment he actually learned to wave his hand next to him to say goodbye warmly, which made Li Yadong just brew out of the little sadness, instantly collapsed......
