Chapter 21: White Lies

"I knew you would be here, and I couldn't sleep, so I came out and talked to you. Li Juan suddenly appeared, as quietly as when she was a child, but this time she didn't cover Wang Wei's eyes with her hands, when she was a child, Li Juan always quietly walked behind Wang Wei, covered Wang Wei's eyes with her hands, and asked Wang Wei to guess who she was?

"How many years have passed, they have always been there, they have never changed, but we are not the same as we were at the beginning, we have changed a lot, whether it is physiognomy or other aspects, we will never come back. Wang Wei pointed to the lights of the opposite village and asked Li Juan, maybe Li Juan had long forgotten the past, after all, so many years had passed.

"Of course I can recognize it, when I am alone, I will come here, sit here and watch the lights on the other side, watch them go out one by one, and the last light will be gone, and the whole village will be plunged into the night, and I will be able to go home and sleep peacefully when the last light is gone. I don't know why, I'm always very down-to-earth here, and when I look at those lights, I'm the happiest time, no matter how bad things happen in life or at work, as long as I stand here and look at those lights, my heart will calm down, and those unhappy things will be forgotten. Li Juan didn't forget what happened when he was a child, he didn't forget this place, he still came here like he was a child, sitting here watching the lights, in addition to home, this is the most reassuring place for her, but when she was a child, she and Wang Wei sat here, but now she is alone, Wang Wei went to the city, there is no such place in the city, and there is no such light in the city.

"There are so many childhood memories here, I always think of what I have done before in the city, every time I feel homesick, I always think of many people, I think of many places I have been to before, I am really happy to think of these, and I am not so lonely in the distance. No matter how prosperous and brilliant the city is, he does not belong anywhere, where is not his home, no matter how long he stays in the city, he is just a passerby, after all, he is leaving, leaving the city, and going to the place that really belongs to him.

"Do you still want to choose to go to the city?" Li Juan asked Wang Wei, she knew that Wang Wei's choice was very important to her, and could even determine her future, in fact, she had been waiting for this day for a long time, she wanted a definite answer, so that she could better plan her life, she couldn't stay in that township health center all the time, and he also had the right to pursue a better life. If Wang Wei chooses to stay in her hometown, she would rather stay here for the rest of her life, and if Wang Wei is unwilling to stay here, she will also choose to leave here and live another life.

"Where else can I go but the city, although that land is not as familiar as the land under my feet, where there are no relatives and friends, where it does not belong to me, but I have to go where I have to go, because only where can I achieve my dreams, bring everything I want, and change my life. I'm not a saint, I have to live, if I want to live, I have to look for opportunities, big cities have more opportunities, if I have been in this place, when will I get ahead, I can change this life of nothing. Wang Wei loved the land of his hometown, but he couldn't stay on it, this land gave him too many memories, raised him, but couldn't give him a better future and a rich life, so he had to choose to leave here.

"Whether you choose to stay or choose to go to the city to seek better development, I support your decision, you are so young, and so good, in this era is the time to show your talents, only the city is more suitable for your development, where you are like a dragon into the sea, and here, even if you are a dragon, you can't make waves. Li Juan guessed that Wang Wei would not stay, he had lived in the city for so many years, and the life here could no longer satisfy him, he wanted a broader world, so that his talent would not be drowned. It is indeed very tempting to take the civil service examination now, but the work of civil servants is not suitable for Wang Wei, he can only show his talent when he is put in the market to fight, just like the soldiers who fought on the ancient battlefield, he is suitable to be a pioneer, not a commander.

"You still know me best and know what I want. Wang Wei is not surprised at all Li Juan's understanding of him, they grew up together, they both know the character of the two people, once a person's character is formed, it is not easy to change, the old saying goes: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change", indicating that the character is a lifetime for a person, a cheerful person is cheerful all his life, and an introverted person is more introverted all his life, which is something that life cannot teach and cannot change.

"You see the last light on the other side is also out, I should go, you go to bed early. "In the past, they watched the last light in the opposite village go out, and they were going home to sleep, and tonight is the same, for Li Juan, it seems to be back to when she was a child, everything is so familiar, they haven't changed anything except growing up, so it's good.

"See you tomorrow. Wang Wei said to Li Juan, who had gone away, that he had said the same thing before.

"See you tomorrow. Li Juan said to Wang Wei in her heart that she knew that tomorrow would be a very special day, it was worth remembering this day for Wang Wei, and it was also worth remembering this day in their ancient closed village.

Wang Wei fell asleep on the bed, this bed is the most reliable place for him, as long as he lies on this bed, no matter how difficult it is, he can sleep peacefully. When he was in school, he always had insomnia, the quality of sleep was very poor, sometimes he felt very tired, but he couldn't sleep when he was lying in bed, he always seemed to have something in his heart, and there would be messy pictures in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it, even if he fell asleep, he would have all kinds of dreams, and sometimes he would wake up from the dream. But at home, he would sleep peacefully, and as soon as he lay down, he woke up to find that it was already dawn, and the night passed so quickly that it was dawn, and the lively concert of last night had stopped.

Wang Wei smelled a burst of fragrance when he came together, it was not yet time to eat, why did his mother cook so early, he forgot that many people would come to their house to eat today, and congratulate him, there should be a lot of people coming today, and his mother prepared in advance, so as not to be too busy when the time comes. Li Juan came to help early in the morning, Li Juan's cooking skills are well-known in the village, she is not very old, but she has a lot of experience in cooking, whoever has a happy event in the village will let her help, today is a major event in the village, how can she be missing, even if Li Juan herself does not come, Wang Jincai has to invite her to come, such a big scene, Wang Wei's mother can't hold it alone.

"I'm up, why don't you sleep a little longer, it's still early. When my mother saw Wang Wei get up, she asked with concern, this point is already very late for the croppers, but it is too early for Wang Wei, most people of Wang Wei's age don't sleep at night and can't get up in the morning.

"You're here too, I'm really sorry to trouble your master again!" Wang Wei saw that Li Juan was also busy, and he was a little upset.

Wang Wei saw that the kitchen was full of all kinds of vegetables, his mother was choosing vegetables and washing them, washed them and put them on the board, Li Juan cut them and put them together, so that it would be much more convenient to fry them for a while. In addition to vegetables and fish and chicken, the chicken has been unloaded and is waiting to be cooked, the meat is cooked slowly, it is done in advance, it will be cold and then hot, it will not take too much time. After washing all kinds of fruits, put them on a plate, and when the time comes, you can serve them directly. Wang Wei saw all this and knew that his father had made a bloody investment, these things are rarely seen during the New Year, but today they have everything, it seems that this matter is more important than the New Year.

"It's bad, if you ask what to say about the graduation certificate, you can't poke the basket today, otherwise you won't have a face to see people in the future. Wang Wei suddenly remembered that there was one most important thing that he hadn't done well, if he didn't do this well, his father's efforts today would be in vain, and he couldn't embarrass his father's face, otherwise his parents wouldn't be able to raise their heads in the village.

"Zhou Fei, are you still in school? I have an urgent matter for your help. Wang Wei called Zhou Fei's phone, he guessed that Zhou Fei was still in school, because when he left, Zhou Fei's formalities at school had not been completed, and it was a tiring thing to go through the formalities.

"I'm still in school, I'm busy with the formalities of leaving school, maybe I'm busy today, what do you say!" Zhou Fei just worked all morning, just sat on the bed and prepared to sleep for a while, and in the afternoon he had to find a few teachers and sign a few words, just sitting on the bed, Wang Wei's call came, it seems that he can't sleep at noon today.

"I told you some of the situation in our village before, today the people in the village are going to come to our house for dinner, and then I am afraid that they will ask me for a graduation certificate, if not, it will not be revealed? So I want to ask you to help make a fake one first, and send me a photo when it is ready, I will pass this level first, and then say, I can't make a mistake today, otherwise people will lose a lot." Also, you can turn on the phone at any time, and I can call you at any time if I have anything, and you can help me lie. Wang Wei told Zhou Fei his idea, for a computer science student, making a fake diploma is too simple, it doesn't take more than five minutes.

"Okay, I know, don't worry! This favor must help you, I lied for the first time in my life, I didn't expect it to help you, this is a white lie!" Zhou Fei didn't expect that the first lie he had to tell in so many years was to help his good friend, so this lie was also valuable.

"Definitely a worthwhile lie that will bring my day to a great end and make me proud of my parents. Before arriving home, Wang Wei wanted to confess this matter to his parents, but after seeing what his parents had done for him, he couldn't confess, even if he deceived his parents, he had to act out today's drama well.

"I know, I'll help you get it, it's not a difficult thing for us, just a few minutes, you can rest assured that you can enjoy the glory that belongs to you!" Zhou Fei agreed very happily, anyway, he was idle, and the time to do something passed quickly.

"I'll hang up first, there's too much to do today, don't forget what I asked you for. Wang Wei didn't dare to say anything more, he was afraid that his parents would suspect that something was wrong, today was a special day, and no mistakes could occur, otherwise it would not be over.

"Don't worry! I'll do it. Zhou Fei is still confident in this matter, as long as he doesn't lie to his face, he can see it at a glance, it's okay to lie on the phone, he believes that no one can see through it.
