XVI. The moon is bright in the sea
There was a holiday in the 22nd factory of Layue, and Pan Jinchao sent Yingying to the West Passenger Station, because the machine needed to be repaired and maintained, and the foreman in the factory repaired in the last few days of the year and several male workers in the packaging workshop had to go back two days late. The two of them sat on the bench in the waiting room, as if they were separated from life and death, Pan Jinchao held Yingying's hand tightly, the two of them had been waiting in a restless mood for a long time, he looked up at the clock on the wall, and turned his face to look at the beloved girl next to him, the pair of eyes that looked forward to the affection and always seemed to be ashamed, everything seemed to be not true, she was his girl, but he was reluctant to let her go, and he couldn't bear it for a moment- Pan Jinchao put his hand on Yingying's long soft hair and stroked it, Yingying turned her face to look at him, smiled shyly and committed herself to his arms, "What do you want?" Pan Jinchao asked her. "How many days does this vacation take? I'm afraid I'll miss you...... What to do?" "I'll miss you too...... If I miss you, I will say 'Liu Yingying, Liu Yingying...... over and over again' and you will always lie in my arms... "Giggle...... Yingying listened to the trembling laughter, squinted with laughter, and tears soaked into her eyes.
When she returned to her hometown, Yingying seemed to be a different person, it seemed that the little girl who used to be dull and stupid was gone forever, she wore that royal blue gown and a pair of high heels to find Lily, and when Lily saw her, she exclaimed: "Ah! Yingying, why have you become like this? I don't even know you anymore!" "What have I become? Is it scary?" "No...... Like a big girl......" "Bad ......" Yingying angrily went to beat her.
"Xiaojun is back too!" Lily always mentions Xiaojun with an inexplicable sour tone.
As soon as Yingying heard Xiaojun's name, she had a feeling of traveling through time and space, "Oh...... Has he changed since he came back from college?" asked Yingying pretending to be faint.
"What can it be? It's not the same old thing! Isn't it just a Harbin Institute of Technology, ranking sixth in the country......
Yingying listened to Lily and was silent, thinking that she was also a high-achieving student, how could she still speak so inexplicably.
Yingying saw Yuelan's mother under the big willow tree at the head of the bridge, and when she said a few words, she saw Xiaojun, wearing a black ski jacket standing along the north coast of the river, she had a feeling of wanting to escape, and hurriedly left.
Yuelan's mother sighed and said, Yuelan is not doing well over there, and the man doesn't take her to her parents' house, since she got married, she has come back once, and the rest are them to see her, she seems to be even crazier than before, "I knew that it would be better to let her live at home for the rest of her life!" Yuelan's mother wiped her eyes and wiped her tears and said.
Huaibei and Honglan gave birth to a boy, fat, like Honglan, not very handsome, Huaibei runs outside all day and night, even if he doesn't care about his family, the child never hugs, Honglan has a good temper, Huaibei is okay to beat her and scold her, take the child out of anger, she just bears it, what should she do after that while. Yingying came back, bought a pair of cotton shoes for her grandmother, father, and Li Jinfeng, and bought clothes for the child, and left a small part of the rest of the money to Liu Dazhu.
Huaibei was still not very comfortable when he saw Yingying, he looked at Yingying wearing that royal blue gown and walking in high heels, his expression was still stiff, Yingying ignored him, what should he do, and he didn't look at him when he walked by.
Yingying didn't dare to go out, every time she went out, she saw many people always looking at her, once she just walked over, she heard Lily's mother Xiulan and Xiaojun's mother Guizhen whispering: "Look, the older Yingying is, the more like that brute aunt ?......" Although the words were very common words, but the ambiguous language made Yingying very sensitive, she couldn't help but pause, and then walked forward. She knew that once upon a time Lily had said, "Eighteen changes in the female college!" She knew that her mother was beautiful in the legend, and she knew that she was afraid of everyone's eyes on her, and she was even more afraid of Xiaojun's gaze. She has been back for two days, every time she goes out, she sees Xiaojun's back wandering not far away, just hiding in secret, her heart is depressed, she doesn't know if she has fallen in love with two boys at the same time, she doesn't know if she and Xiaojun are a real relationship, but she knows that she and Xiaojun are impossible, Xiao Pan can give her the warmth and protection of the world, and Xiaojun can only give her only that kind of love to a lifetime of touch, they are people who go to two different worlds, he can't promise her anything, she can't give him anything, just as a trace of beautiful sadness in the bottom of her heart, a sorrow that will never be known to outsiders!
Thinking like this, she walked over and came to the bridge, Xiao Jun turned his face to look at her and shouted, "Yingying!"
"You're on vacation!" Yingying said cautiously, pretending to be relaxed.
"Hmm...... You...... Are you at work?" Xiao Jun looked at her, and then opened his mouth and said that was only this sentence.
"It's time to work, in the yarn factory!" Yingying had a hazy feeling of intoxication when she mentioned the yarn factory.
"Oh...... That's a holiday, too!Huh, Yingying, you've changed!" Xiao Jun turned his face to look at her and said with a smile.
Yingying listened and hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and subconsciously she was afraid that Xiaojun would look at her: "Where have I changed—— Lily also said the same about me!"
However, Xiao Jun turned his face away after looking at her a few times, and didn't say anything, but couldn't help but sigh softly: "Heh——."
"How about ,—— life in college?" Yingying looked at the dry riverbed and asked, the sky had just fallen a light snow, and the riverbed was covered with a light layer of silvery, she thought that Xiaojun had just entered college, and probably couldn't find a girlfriend yet, who knew that Xiaojun listened to it but didn't react, Yingying couldn't help but turn her face to look at him suspiciously, so she heard a sentence from Xiaojun's mouth: "I don't want to go on-"
"Yingying, are you willing to wait for me?" Xiao Jun's words came suddenly, Yingying took a while to react, and at that moment she just wanted to exhale "Oh! God!" Just as she hesitated, she heard Xiao Jun say, "I know, this sentence...... It's long overdue—"
In any case, Yingying knew that she had to tell Xiaojun, but she also knew how cruel this was, and once she said it, how innocent they were, how beautiful their first affection was, how cruelly they would be destroyed.
"It's impossible for us!" Yingying didn't know how this sentence came out, and when she heard her words floating in the air, she couldn't help but turn her face to look at Xiao Jun, she saw that Xiao Jun didn't move, and her expression suddenly fell, she saw Xiao Jun's eyes turn red, and she thought he would cry for a while, but who knew that she heard him sneer "heh" and turned her face away.
Looking at Xiaojun's sad expression, Yingying's heart was about to break, until this moment she didn't know if she really liked Xiaojun, she only knew that Xiaojun accompanied her in the most sorrowful years; maybe she really liked two boys at the same time, oh my! Why did such a thing happen to her at the same time, here Yingying just wanted to say to Xiaojun that he should have a better future, it really can't be between them, it is really impossible to just want to open her mouth but she saw Lily running over not far away: "Hi—— Yingying, Brother Xiaojun, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't say anything!" Yingying said and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Xiaojun, Xiaojun still turned her back, Yingying couldn't help but be very worried for a while, so she turned around and asked Lily: "Lily, how is the college entrance examination sprint?" The expression was stiff and embarrassed.
"Alas...... I still don't have Brother Xiaojun's talent, and the pressure is too great, it's good to be able to take two books......" Although Lily always ridiculed Xiaojun behind her back, she still complimented him in person, after all, Xiaojun is an eternal fairy tale in her mind.
When Xiao Jun heard this, he looked at the riverbed with a slight smile and stood up straight, without saying a word, and after a while, he spoke: "Hey——! Lily, is your brother at home?"
"Oh, at home, you go to my house to play!" said Lily, cheerfully.
Xiao Jun turned around and quietly left.
"I think Brother Xiaojun has become heavy when he goes to college......" Lily sighed as she looked at Xiaojun's back in the distance.
"Probably from college!" Yingying echoed in a hurry, but she couldn't help but show a wry smile when she finished speaking, and Lily looked at Yingying with a suspicious gaze, and then at Xiaojun who had gone away.
"I'm a little confused right now, what am I studying so hard for? Is it really worth it? Will I definitely get what I want?" Lily asked, standing where Xiaojun was standing just now, looking blankly at the riverbed, "...... However, no matter what, we still have to rush forward, whether we are dead or alive, we have to rush forward!"
Yingying looked at Lily's expression of seeing death as home, and was speechless, yes, as a rural child, especially a girl, what way out can she have? Either she desperately squeezed the single-plank bridge, or she was brushed down and returned to the countryside to farm, waiting for fate to arrange it the same, Yingying belonged to the latter, she was a real loser, she was convinced, and now she was very glad that she didn't have to go so hard to climb on the single-plank bridge again, thinking of this, she thought of the famous man, so she asked: " Lily, have you heard that the celebrity has said it?"
"I've heard about it......" Lily said with a look on her face, "I've heard about it, I'll get married next year, it's really ——, you should look for it, what kind of one do you want to find?" Lily said with a rare melancholy in her eyes.
Yingying smiled shyly when she heard this, and she remembered Xiao Pan for a while, leaving Pan Jinchao as if she had traveled through several time and space, she thought in her dreams day and night, every touch of the scene and every concentration is him, spring is fleeting, lovesickness is difficult, the world is noisy during the day, every time in the dead of night, lovesickness is not enough, the long night has passed, it is really an inch of lovesickness. However, the matter was still unclear, and she didn't have time to explain it to her father, and it was a bit abrupt to say it, so she pressed it down again in a moment, so she lowered her head and said silently: "My father said that there were a few families mentioning it a few years ago, let me see it - I don't want to say it!"
"Say—— I can still eat Xi Tangli! Why don't you say it?" Lily's expression suddenly brightened when she heard this, and she shook Yingying with one hand.
In fact, the matchmaker came to the door the day after Yingying came back, Yingying blindly excused herself from her father, and Liu Dazhu was not too careful, so she pushed away a few, but there were a few capable ones, and they said that they would meet each other, so they couldn't refuse, and Liu Dazhu promised two families, probably people on the street, so they arranged a day to meet.
Before the meeting, Yingying was very nervous in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell her father openly, so she hid aside and said to her grandmother: "Grandma, I found a partner outside, I can't be willing to talk to this person!" Grandma heard this and said: "You can manage the people you are looking for outside?"
The meeting was arranged at home, the man drove two motorcycles, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a man of medium appearance and medium stature handed a cigarette to all the laborers in the yard, the man was neatly dressed, needless to say that he was the object of introduction to Yingying, just entered the courtyard and was quite arrogant, and when he came to his senses, he saw Yingying hiding behind the crowd and did not raise his head, and he was immediately shy.
The matchmaker is the big Yanma in the village next door, the big Yanma is an old mother, because of its tall and love to talk about the matchmaker, at this moment is pulling Li Jinfeng to stand under the eaves of the hall and blow the man's conditions, Li Jinfeng nodded in agreement, and then she beckoned Yingying to listen carefully, Yingying only smiled slightly and let her say there, only roughly heard that the man's family is a grain business, and the family foundation is quite thick, but no matter what the man says, Yingying is absent-mindedly not interested, but the better she says, the more Yingying drums in her heart.
When Yingying handed out the candy, she only saw Lily, and the celebrities came, but she didn't expect Xiaowei and Xiaojun to stand in the crowd at the gate to watch, when she handed the candy to Xiaojun, the feeling was really a bit mixed, she hurriedly handed it over, Xiaowei said next to her: "Yingying, catch Ming'er and I will catch up with Xu Waji, you can please me eat steamed buns!" Yingying only lowered her head and smiled, eager to leave quickly, but Xiaojun only stood with a shallow smile, her eyes fluttering.
After the end, in the hall, Liu Dazhu asked Yingying's opinion in front of the whole family, and it can be seen from the tone and tone that Liu Dazhu still approves of this family affair, Yingying stood at the door of Yingjianzi, only bowed her head and said nothing, neither willing nor unwilling, Li Jinfeng said on the side: "...... Although this boy is not very good-looking, he can be regarded as able to come out and go in, and he can't stand it in the future!" Seeing that Yingying had not expressed her position, Liu Dazhu said again: "Anyway, I can't look at it, it doesn't count, you look at it, and then order, no matter what, let's just say it, anyway, there are several families that are carrying ...... with me."
It wasn't until the end of the day that Yingying saw that she couldn't hold on any longer, so she said in a hesitant voice: "This person is too old-fashioned, I don't want to be willing-".
In the next day, Yingying was secretly looking at her father, but she really didn't have the courage to tell him, she could imagine her father's reaction when he heard this, she knew that rural people had a view on the daughter's marriage to a foreign country or her own private engagement for life, and then she went to grind her grandmother, grandma had to say, the result of turning back is conceivable, her father did not agree with her to find the outside, to find it in the vicinity of ten miles and eight miles, Yingying was very frustrated.
When it was dark, Yingying saw Liu Dazhu squatting at the gate smoking from a distance, so she quietly walked over and shouted, "Dad——."
When Liu Dazhu heard this, he turned his head to look at her, and then turned to smoke again.
"I'd like to tell you something—" Yingying crouched down lightly on the other side of the door, cautiously.
Liu Dazhu still tilted his head and smoked, not squeaking.
"He is a technician in the yarn factory, and the salary is not low, and the factory has already held a meeting to decide that he will be hired as an engineer after the New Year...... His hometown is from Bo County, and he said he went home to talk to his parents...... If you want, everything will be done according to the rules of our side......" Yingying said carefully one sentence at a time.
"I don't want to ——" Liu Dazhu dropped a sentence coldly when he heard it, dusted off his cigarette with his fingers, got up and left.
Yingying looked up at her father Liu Dazhu in a daze and walked towards the courtyard, and her eyes were immediately full of tears.
