Chapter 32: Familiar Strangers

Sitting on the train home, Lu Tao looked at the rapidly regressing scenery outside the window, a little dazed.

In the pocket of his clothes was still the letter that Peng Ying asked Li Yan to bring.

What is written in the letter is not to give him a good person card, nor does it have anything to do with her appearance and family background, but what she really thinks in her heart.

The letter reads:

When you said you were coming, I was hesitant and confused all the time during this time. I often ask myself, what is the relationship between us after so many years of communication and communication with you?

Is it a platonic spiritual love, or a simple pen pal, or are you used to talking between the lines?

The moment I saw you, I realized that what I thought might have been wrong all along.

I don't know how you'll feel when you see me, if you'll be the same as I am. Am I the summer night you want to be cold?

If you really understand me, you should feel the same way.

The junction between the virtual and the real has been crossed by us, and Xia Yehan, who loves literature and habitually writes poetry, is just an ordinary student in reality.

There are some things, even for those who are close to us, we are reluctant to say, so we choose to use words to express our hearts.

I like the letter you wrote, I have always cherished it, it is a good memory.

Whether like is love or not, different people have different answers.

In my opinion, no. Maybe we can get to know each other in the text, and build the beautiful world in each other's hearts. But what about reality? It is destined to be different.

When you read this letter, I should have prepared to go home, I don't know if this is an escape, but I really hope that my actions did not hurt you.

After all, you've always been the one I've loved the most, but I'm not ready.

Let's be the strangers we know best.

If one day, I completely overlap you with the 'he' who wrote those words, I will go to you myself.

With a soft sigh, the train roared into a dark tunnel, the stone wall at the entrance of the cave giving a great sense of oppression.

When he came out of the cave, Lu Tao had a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a feeling of relief came to his heart.

This huge regret in his previous life has been made up, but the ending is not as he expected.

I thought that after meeting, the two would be affectionate and loving, and plan the future together. After graduation, I got married, and then had a child, and for a lifetime, the ordinary ones were over. Relying on his own knowledge, he does not seek to be rich and rich, but at least he will live better than many people.

But now he realized that he was wrong.

If I had met this in my previous life, it would still have been like this, it would have been just an obsession.

He smiled, and his relationship with Peng Ying may have always been right.

Just be the stranger you know best.

He couldn't tell what the future would become, but he knew that his life was already changing.

From Wushi to Lu Tao's hometown, the green train still takes ten hours, and Lu Tao, who has been unknotted, looked at the scenery outside the window along the way, and couldn't help but think of his parents again.

Mom and Dad, I'm back.

In this life, I will no longer let you worry about me, and I will definitely make you no longer so hard and hard.

After getting off the train, breathing the air of his hometown, Lu Tao felt particularly comfortable and comfortable, ran to the small noodle restaurant outside the train station to eat a bowl of noodles, and walked towards the station outside.

"Young man, where are you going?" The driver of the motorcycle soliciting customers outside the train station greeted him, with a lit cigarette in his hand with black leather gloves and a mouthful of big yellow teeth in his mouth, looking at Lu Tao and asking.

Listening to the familiar local accent and looking at the rows of buildings that seemed familiar, Lu Tao laughed.

"Let's go, but you can't get there. ”

"Where are you going, this car is not good?" The driver of the motorcycle looked at Wang Chuan, threw half of the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it a few times with rubber shoes, and then patted the back seat of his car, and asked with wide eyes.

"It's a bit far away in Lujia Town. ”

The train station is actually more than an hour away from Lu Tao's home, and if you take a motorcycle, you can't get off for dozens of yuan, and if you take a motorcycle during this time period, the feeling of the wind blowing on your face, he doesn't want to experience it.

Of course, it is cost-effective to take a minibus, and it is also safer, only 5 yuan can be reached. Although he is not very short of money now, but he can't spend it indiscriminately, once the business starts in the year, he will have to talk to the manufacturer to see if he can be a real agent first, so that many things can be done by himself.

Lu Tao's home is in a small town, to be exact, it is a mountain village on the edge of the town, located in the mountains, the traffic is not convenient, from the town to the home, at this time there is no road, you need to walk home.

I still remember in my previous life, it took Lu Tao several years, relying on his parents and relying on his own efforts, to mortgage a house in the county, and now he has returned to his former hometown again, and he naturally has a lot of emotion in his heart.

There are three simple earthen tile houses, a neem tree on the right that can only be hugged by two people, which is said to have been planted by Lu Tao's great-grandfather, and a small pond of more than ten square meters, which is fed with carp and grass carp.

In addition to the tiled house, there is a wooden shack covered with straw and white plastic sheeting.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, Lu Tao carried his bag, lifted the suitcase, and slowly went down the overgrown mountain road.

"Wow. ”

A dog barking came from under the thatched hut, and Lu Tao couldn't see clearly through the trees, so he had to roar.

"What's it called, I don't recognize it?"

A foot-long authentic Chinese pastoral dog with an iron chain around its neck ran out of the shed, its tail wagging constantly.

The barking of the dog attracted people, and when he was about to walk to the back of the house, his vision widened a little, Lu Tao looked down, and saw his mother Liu Zhihui leaning on the neem tree with her right hand, with a happy smile on her face, looking in her direction.

"Tao'er is back, I thought there were still a few days. The mother spoke, and then heard the black dog barking, and couldn't help but turn her head and stare and roar: "Bark again, and call again that I won't pour food for you at night." “

Familiar voices, familiar faces, familiar houses, familiar everything.

"Lan'er, your brother is back, so he knows that he is watching TV in the house, and be careful that your father will talk about you when he comes back. ”

The mother's eyes kept following Lu Tao's footsteps, and her mouth was shouting Lu Tao's sister Lu Lan.

"Brother. Not far behind his mother, a somewhat thin and weak figure trotted out, combing the student's hair and wearing a white and green school uniform, which was Lu Tao's own sister Lu Lan.

Although the name is not very good, but the parents are people who have never read any books, and it is good to be able to come up with such a name.

Mother stretched out her hand to pick up the suitcase that Lu Tao was carrying, and her eyes kept looking at him: "I've been in the car for so long, I'm tired." “

Lu Tao looked at his mother and sister in front of him, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"It's fine, it didn't take long, the train was fast. While carrying the suitcase by themselves, the three of them returned to the house.

Looking at a few earthen houses and tiled houses, as well as the wrinkles on his mother's face, and his sister's thinness, Lu Tao only felt a sour heart.

"Where's Dad?" took off the backpack, and after putting down the luggage, Lu Tao asked while teasing the little black dog, letting it raise its feet and dig on its thighs, and keep wagging its fluffy little tail.

"In the past two days, Zhicai's family is going to repair a pigsty, and I called your father to help, and I can come back in the evening. “
