Chapter Twenty-Four: Leaving Again
After this commemorative day, Wang Wei stayed at home for a few days, he didn't go to work in the field these days, he wanted to go down to the field to help his parents do some work, but his parents didn't let him go to the ground, he couldn't stay at home for a few days before he had to leave, it didn't matter if he did this work or not, besides, he hadn't done farm work for a long time, and he definitely couldn't stand this suffering, even if he could get off the ground, I'm afraid these farm tools would not be used! Don't get the job done when the time comes, and then hurt yourself, this will be more than worth the loss.
Although Wang Wei was born in the countryside and grew up in the countryside, he did suffer a lot and suffered a lot of sins compared with the children in the city, but compared with other children in the village, Wang Wei is lucky, although his life is tight, but the family always leaves the best for him, from childhood to adulthood, his food and clothing are no worse than any child in the village. In their poor and backward mountain village, there is only one way to change their fate, that is, to go out of the mountains to live another life, and the best way to get out of the mountains is to be admitted to university and find a stable job in the city, so that they can completely get rid of the face of poverty and life can get better little by little.
It is precisely because of the correct understanding of the truth of poverty alleviation that Wang Jincai can overcome all difficulties, no matter how unsatisfactory his life is, even if he can't eat a meal of meat a year, can't afford to drink a bottle of good wine, and can't afford to wear a new clothes, as long as Wang Wei is angry, he is very satisfied. What a person is most afraid of living is not in a harsh and poor environment, but even if he lives in a palatial palace, eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, and sleeps in a big bed made of velvet fur, he has no dreams in his heart, and he does not know how to walk the road under his feet, he is also confused, and he cannot be happy.
Wang Wei's arrival has added a lot of joy to this family, which was and still is.
Wang Wei is the only child in the family, the pearl of his parents, and now he has grown up, but in the eyes of his parents, he will always be a child, never grow up, and will always need the protection of his parents and this family.
Wang Wei heard from the old people in the village that it took a lot of effort for him to come to this world, and his parents suffered a lot because of him, and they suffered a lot from many people. Listen to the old people in the village said, the father and mother have been married for several years and have not been able to conceive children, have taken a lot of medicine, and have seen a lot of doctors, but the mother's stomach is always like a frosted eggplant, wilting, no reaction at all, after a long time, the village people began to say, saying that the mother is a chicken that does not lay eggs, in which era, whether it is the fault of the woman or not, it will be said that it is the fault of the woman, this is like a farmer planting wheat, scattering the seeds into the ground, and when the seedlings appear, the wheat can not produce seedlings, the first thing the farmers suspect is whether the land is not suitable for planting wheat, or the land is not fertilized, not watered, so that the wheat can not produce seedlingsFew people doubt that the seeds they choose are not good, even if they are planted in the best ground, the best fertilizer is applied, and enough water is watered, the wheat seedlings will not come out.
Of course, it is not only his mother who has been blamed and abused, but his father has also been pointed at, saying that his father's thing is not good, and he can't even drum up a child, and other people's children are in groups, but their family has never moved at all, and no one knows whose problem it is.
No matter what outsiders say, they can't give up, they can't see clearly here, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor here doesn't work, so they go to the big hospital in the provincial capital for an examination, if the provincial capital doesn't work, they go to Beijing, there are the best hospitals in Beijing, there are the best doctors, there will always be a way.
In order to have a child, Wang Jincai and his wife went to many places and saw many doctors, and finally their hard work paid off, and when they returned to the village again, they had an extra child, which was Wang Wei. At this time, no one in the village was gossiping.
Maybe it's because Wang Wei is not easy to come, and he is their only child, so they have been very fond of Wang Wei since he was a child, and they are used to treating him like a treasure, giving him the best use of everything, and not letting him suffer a little, except for Wang Wei's skipping school once his father slapped him, and his parents never beat him. He is also very competitive, he has been smart since he was a child, he always takes the first place in the exam, and now he is the first person in the village to be admitted to university, and he is the first person to go out completely by his ability.
Now no one in the village said that Wang Jincai and his wife were incompetent, but regarded them as a successful example, Li Zhishu also called on all parents to learn from Wang Jincai and his wife, what a great honor this is, it must be their ancestral tomb smoke to have today's glory.
Wang Wei took advantage of this time to go home and went to a few good relatives' houses, Wang Wei will bring gifts no matter who he goes to, he used to go to these relatives' houses, he went empty-handed, the family was poor and couldn't afford to buy gifts, those relatives also saw it, they can also understand Wang Wei, although the life of rural people is better now, but the pressure of life is also great, no one is easy, can understand.
It stands to reason that when Wang Wei went to college, their relatives should also help them, but no one had a good time, no one had any spare money, and they didn't help Wang Wei when he went to school, and they all knew that Wang Jincai was angry with their relatives because of this, and they didn't come to their house for several years, but they couldn't help it! Fortunately, Wang Wei was a person who understood, and he didn't care about that, and he didn't ask his family much money when he went to college, and his school tuition fees were all loans, and his living expenses were all earned by working during the holidays, and the family's burden was not much.
Now that he has graduated, he has found a job, and he can repay the loan after receiving his salary, and he doesn't have to worry about these things in his family, he will take care of it himself. Wang Wei didn't know that those relatives disappointed his father, but his father was his father, he was him, and his father could not go to those relatives' homes in anger, but he couldn't, he was different from his father, in the eyes of others, he was a college student, since he was a college student, he should be sensible, he should not care about those things that have passed, he still has to go to those relatives' houses, and this time he can't go empty-handed, he has to bring gifts. Before, he went empty-handed and others would not say anything, but now when he goes empty-handed, others will make irresponsible remarks, saying that he does not understand the number of etiquette, in the countryside, the number of etiquette can not be messed up, the number of etiquette is messed up with the rules, gifts are not valuable, but can not be without.
Wang Wei spent a few days going to all the relatives who should go, and he was almost at home, and it was time for him to leave. His parents once said that he would be admitted to the civil service, and he understood his parents' thoughts, and his parents were reluctant to let him go so far away, for fear that he would suffer outside, but he couldn't let his parents in this matter, he had his own ideas.
Although he was not so at home in the city, he had no home in the city, no harbor to rely on, but he had to go to the city, and only in the city could he have the opportunity to show his ambitions and realize his dreams. If he is allowed to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life, he is not reconciled, he wants to go out, for himself, for his hard-working parents and this impoverished family, he has to work hard, he has to mix up his personal appearance, he hopes that one day he will stand on this land, but not stand here with nothing like now, he will return, with glory and glory.
I want to leave again, this is the first time I have left home, Wang Wei can't remember clearly, he used to think that home is a harbor that can be permanently parked, he is like a small boat drifting on the sea, when the wind is calm, he will forget that there is a place where he can dock, but when there is wind on the sea and the waves are rough, he will think of that place, he wants to return to that place. There is no danger there that can allow him to escape the storm, and for Wang Wei, this place is home.
It's time to leave home and wander around again, and he feels the same as every time he leaves home, he is in love with this place, but he can't stay in this place. For someone of his age, home is like a gas station on the highway, where he can refuel and make a momentary stop, but you can't stop here, and the end of your life is not here. Your road is still far away, and you will have to go on the road after a while, unless you are a person who has no pursuit, no ideals, and you are confused by the short-term comfort in front of you, and you forget the dream in your heart, and you forget the direction when you set off.
Obviously, Wang Wei is not such a person, what he wants is far from coming, he doesn't know where his life is, he wants to find it, he understands that a happy life is not a broken bowl put by a beggar on the side of the road, and he will not give it to you because someone has mercy, happiness is a luxury, only if you work hard to get it, happiness will not find you for no reason, and rely on you.
In the past, Wang Wei left home, and when he came back again, it was exactly the same as when he left, nothing would change, he was still the same him, and life was still that life, but this time when he left home, when he came back next time, he would be different, his life would change, and if his life remained the same as before, he would be a loser.
In the past four years in school, he has lived a very embarrassing life, and he has not even mixed up with a graduation certificate, but the life of the school is over, he has to face another life, his identity has also changed, he is no longer the pride of the sky, but like everyone in this city who fights for the simplest life, he also has to fight for the simplest life. From now on, he will also have to care about the price of grain and vegetables, he will also have to bargain with the aunt who sells vegetables in the vegetable market, wear the cheapest stalls, and live in a dirty and cramped rental house, this is the most realistic life he will face.
The growth of a person is the same as the transformation of a butterfly, if you want to make yourself beautiful, you have to break out of the cocoon, and you have to bear the pain of growth. If the butterfly can't bear the torment of breaking the cocoon, and a person can't bear the pain on the road to growth, the butterfly will not be able to achieve its beauty, but become a dead chrysalis, and a person will not do successful things, and will live a mediocre life and do nothing.
is about to leave, he also went to the relatives who should go, some of them he went with his father, some of them he went alone, when he was a child, he couldn't represent this family, he went everywhere he went with his father, and the same was true for group activities, when he was a child, whoever sent a child to participate in group activities would be considered to not attach importance to group activities, and it would also attract a lot of accusations. It's the same to go to a relative's house, when you are a child, you often have no sincerity to go alone, because you are not qualified to represent your family, in fact, this is also a matter of rights, a person's rights must not only be recognized internally, but also externally, otherwise, the right is an empty shelf. In the past, Wang Wei couldn't represent their family, but now he can, he doesn't need his father to accompany him, he can handle everything alone, he went there, people are also hospitable, and he is the same as adults, have you grown up, and outsiders' performance towards you can be seen, obviously, Wang Wei is already a person who stands up to the sky and the earth in the eyes of outsiders and those relatives, and can be alone.
If you want to say that there are any regrets left when you come back this time, it can only be Li Juan's business, he will meet Li Juan every time he comes back, and every time he leaves, he will go out of his way to say goodbye to Li Juan, Li Juan grew up with him since he was a child, although it is not a family, but Li Juan is the same as a family in his heart, like his own sister, every time he thinks of her outside, he will always can't help but snicker, in his memory, the time he and Li Juan spent together is beautiful.
When he came back this time, he felt that Li Juan was not like he was before, Li Juan used to have some admiration and respect for his sister and brother, but this time it gave him another feeling, maybe they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and their feelings were rusty, maybe they had grown up, and the feelings between them were not only between brothers and sisters, but also between men and women of their age.
Li Juan asked about his past intentionally or unintentionally when chatting with him, and he found that Li Juan always had a different reaction every time he got an answer, either happy or frustrated, and when he learned that he didn't have a girlfriend, he found that the joy on Li Juan's face, although it was only a flash, was still seen by him. He understands Li Juan's thoughts, but he doesn't know how to face Li Juan, his future life is unknown, he doesn't want to be a drag on Li Juan, and he doesn't want Li Juan to waste his good youth on him, an uncertain person, it's not that he doesn't like Li Juan, but he doesn't want Li Juan to follow him to live a life of no fixed place and wandering around.
Li Juan now has a job, although it can't bring her a rich life, but at least it can make her worry about food and clothing, if she abandons this job for him, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the weight of this love.
