Classes, work-study, love, everything is taken seriously, and everything is done in an orderly manner. Mentao's professional "Marketing" The difficulty and depth are not great, the academic performance can be qualified, his weekend work, also carried out well, the business has expanded, his subordinates have been irregular nearly 30 college students, almost a year and a half, in addition to paying another year's tuition, plus all the expenses of life, there are more than 30,000 yuan saved, this does not include his nearly a year, successively sent more than 10,000 yuan to the family, not only paid off all the arrears of his school, his mother lived in the hospital once this year, Mentao also sent back 2,000 yuan, his own economy during his school is no longer a problem of sorrow。 The love with Luo Yan is still so restrained, he has never been able to let go of himself, and he has always passively enjoyed Luo Yan's love, and he can only accept it.

In the process of contact with Luo Yan, he obviously felt his clumsiness and a lot of knowledge and lack of knowledge, Luo Yan's interests are very extensive, and the knowledge is also very broad, due to the factors of her father Luo Wen's teaching, she has read extensively before college, many Western classics and domestic literature have dabbled, talking about a lot of things, in front of Men Tao, Luo Yan seems to be a jack of all trades, Men Tao did not feel any shame about this, he decided that he wanted to catch up, he borrowed books from the school library, one by one, and read them carefully, the more books he read, the more he read, the more Men Tao's mind became clearer, and his thinking was more active and openReading has made Mentao a lot of progress, and liking reading has become his biggest hobby.

In the eyes of other students, Mentao is a poor student from the mountains, some rustic, some picky, some have an almost extreme thirst for money, Mentao in his own school and class, except for the students who work with him, there are contacts, he has no other contacts, in the eyes of other students, Mentao is a stone that can be seen everywhere in the mountains, so ordinary and so insignificant, it is not worth paying more attention to at all.

But in Luo Yan's eyes, Mentao is a stone, but it is a rough stone with an ordinary appearance, but it contains jade, he is different from many students of the same age, he experienced the difficulties and sufferings of life earlier, for the difficult life, Mentao did not complain, did not give in, did not weaken, he only gritted his teeth and stoic, he did not have a strong body and ability, but he has been secretly carrying the burden of life with everything he is weak, and slowly crawling forward, forward, although he is not so tall, not so majestic, It's not perfect, but he's so strong, so sincere, so respectable and lovable. For Men Tao, Luo Yan appreciates his self-reliance and self-improvement more, he likes Men Tao's tenacity to difficulties, seriousness in his work, and flaws, since in his own eyes Men Tao is a piece of jade to be cut, then Men Tao's dullness, shyness, passivity, and even a little rustic, have become loyal, innocent and real, which is what the world often says in the eyes of lovers, but then again, girls like Luo Yan are really rare now.

The winter vacation is coming soon, as soon as the holiday is over, Luo Yan is going home, recently, her mother's health has not been too good, lumbar disc herniation has aggravated and recurred, Men Tao has decided to go home for the New Year this year, he has not been back for a year and a half, he has gone home for the New Year this year, he has a few plans in advance, so that his parents can also be relaxed and happy, and his financial situation also allows him to start to slowly give back to his parents. But Mentao can't leave as soon as he takes a holiday, he still has to catch up with the year, and then complete the delivery work for about half a month before he can go home, the contract has been signed a few, in any case, his work is still the most important thing.

On vacation, Luo Yan originally planned to go home with Mentao all the way, not only to have a companion on the way, but also to take him to Quanyang for a tour. But after listening to Mentao's situation, she changed her mind very well and rationally, and proposed to let Mentao go back later, when she passed through Quanyang, stay for a day or two, but Mentao said that he had to do a lot of things to do when he went home, and he disappointed Luo Yan, however, the guilty Mentao also proposed his own compensation, that is, when he came back from school, he would ask Luo Yan to return to school together, so that Luo Yan, who was still disappointed just now, was full of joy and expectation.

In a blink of an eye, entering the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Mentao basically finished the business in hand, and there were still a few small jobs to look for, but as soon as he calculated that the time was not enough, he shirked the students in his hand and went home, and declined. I bought a few bags of saltwater duck, a specialty of Jinling, got on the train, and Mentao walked on the way home. Before leaving, Luo Yan called Mentao several times and asked about the specific train number and time. The train passed through Quanyang at a little more than one o'clock at night, Luo Yan proposed that he would come to the station to meet Mentao, Mentao began to say that it was too late, and Quanyang in winter was very cold, let alone at night. But as soon as the train arrived in Quanyang, Luo Yan, who knew the information of Mentao's car box in advance, was already waiting on the platform, wearing a thick down jacket, wrapping her head with a hat, and wrapping her around a big neck, and I don't know how long she came in advance, Mentao flew off the platform, and hugged Luo Yan tightly with distress and joy, he didn't know but Luo Yan clearly felt it, this was the first time Mentao took the initiative to hug himself, and he hugged the ground so sincerely, so warmly, and so powerfully. Even the last time Luo Yan went home, it was just that Luo Yan had been reluctant to abandon Mentao's hand, and Mentao didn't have any physical movements except for his reluctant expression.

The train only stayed in Quanyang for five minutes, their hug has not let go, the conductor is already urging to get on the train, no matter how reluctant, Men Tao had to get on the train in the conductor's urging, Luo Yansai gave Men Tao a large bag of things, all of which were New Year's gifts for Men Tao's parents, as well as a few books for Men Tao, the most heartwarming thing for Men Tao was that she also prepared food for Men Tao who had been on the train for a day, and it was hot in the lunch box, with meat sandwich buns, Bacon meat, as well as dumplings, Men Tao, who was already hungry, felt happiness while eating, this happiness was once only felt in his mother's body, his tears unconsciously moistened his eyes, and in his tears, he seemed to see Luo Yan, who was tightly wrapped in the cold wind of the night, on the way home...

Back in Hanshui Town, Mentao first went to see the third uncle in the town, gave the third uncle a New Year's gift, and said some of his thoughts. The third uncle already knew a little about Mentao's school and part-time job in Jinling before, but he really listened to Mentao's story, and was still full of admiration and encouragement for his efforts. The first thing Mentao has to do is to pull the electricity to the family before the year, before this, he has mentioned it to his father a few times, but all his life is used to saving pennies and cents Mendegui is used to refusing to give himself, this time, Mentao doesn't care about his father's opinion, he wants to do this thing first, Mentao's third uncle promised to find someone to help, because it has arrived at the end of the year, the power supply station or something is busy preparing for the New Year. Mentao went to buy two good cigarettes, left them for the third uncle, and asked him to give gifts to the people at the power supply station, and he went home first.

When they arrived at Menjia Village, Mendegui and his wife watched their son, who had been gone for almost two years, come back, and the excited smiling faces and happy tears returned to calm for a long time. The people left in the village knew that Men Tao was back, and Men Tao not only didn't want the family's money when he went to school outside in the past two years, but also kept sending money to the family. Mentao bought two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for each of his parents, and forced them to change into a set first, and his newly-dressed mother had killed a chicken stewed in the pot in advance, and made Mentao's favorite bacon, Mentao also took out the salted duck and some other pastries brought back by Jinling, at night, under the oil lamp, Mentao and his father were eating and talking at the dinner table, Mendegui asked Mentao a lot of Jinling, school, In the end, he said that he would pull electricity for his home and buy them a TV, so that they could have a pastime when they were idle. The village has not used electricity for their family now, and there are only a few TVs that do not have it, Mendegui has been poor all his life, saved a lifetime, the money that Men Tao sent to his family, in addition to his wife's medical treatment and medicine, he was not willing to spend, he saved it for his son, and he and his wife had food. Not freezing, not sick, he is already very satisfied in this life, he knows that it is not easy for his son to be outside, and in the future, his son will have more places to spend money, his second and third brothers are in business and have jobs, although they are outside, but they marry daughters-in-law, Giving birth to a child and even buying a house later, now the economy is very tight, the more outside, the more places to spend money, Mendegui does not have much ability in his life, he does not have much desire, his greatest ability is to spend less money or even no money, saving money is the first life criterion in his life. But looking at his son who has grown up and has a good future, he can't bear to brush off his son's kindness, so he didn't refuse, and reluctantly agreed, but he still proposed that it was okay to pull electricity, but either I didn't buy the TV or I bought a cheap one, don't spend too much money. Men Tao agreed to his father one by one, and this night, the two masters had a bottle of wine for the second time, one person and one bowl, one drink, not drunk, and slept. Fifty-five-year-old Mendegui had never slept so sweetly, and the next day, he woke up early in the morning, and in the eyes of others, Mendegui, who had always been dull and gloomy, made people see a smile and bright sunshine for the first time in his life.

The next day, the third uncle called, the people from the power supply station looked for it, and the cigarettes were also delivered, but because it was the Mentao family and it was the New Year's pass, although they did not refuse, they also put forward conditions, and the two construction workers could pull it in one day, but one person wanted to give a red envelope of 600 yuan, "66 Shun" , the third uncle also said, usually one or two hundred yuan per person is enough, Mentao did not hesitate, he agreed in one bite, and asked the third uncle to reply to the people, as soon as possible to call, but told the third uncle, the red envelope, don't let Mendegui know, if he knows the red envelope so much money, he will feel distressed for a year, then, this year will not be comfortable. With the red envelope, on the fourth day of Mentao's home, the electricity at home was turned on, and the whole village of Menjia Village was lit up for the first time, and this was 2009 AD, and it had been another year since the Beijing Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention.

That night, in the house with electric lights, my mother's eyes were full of light and joy. The next day, Mentao went to Hanshui Town again and spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy a 32-inch color TV with a receiving pot. In this way, for the first time in their lives, Mendegui and his wife sat in their own homes and saw the magical world outside.

This Spring Festival, Mendegui and his wife really had a happy New Year. Luo Yan also made a lot of phone calls in the middle, and once, Luo Yan was still asking, "Why don't you invite me to your place to play?"

Men Tao replied seriously and jokingly: "We have a very big mountain here, not only do we have no electricity, but there are also a lot of wolves at night! Even when walking on mountain roads during the day, wild boars are also common."

Luo Yan didn't believe Mentao's statement at all, she knew that she would go to Menjia Village sooner or later, but maybe not now. After the 10th day of the first lunar month, Mentao's phone calls increased, and his work will be carried out after the 15th day of the first month. He told Luo Yan about the situation, and he decided to take the train back to Jinling on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and Luo Yan replied that he would go all the way back to school with him.
