The train to the north of the cuckoo was at nine o'clock in the evening, Montaigne and the cuckoo did not bump to the station until six o'clock in the evening, and after getting off the train, Montaigne bought some food for the cuckoo, and the two came to the waiting room to wait. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info Montaigne, who usually doesn't like to talk much, told the cuckoo a lot today, the time passed quickly, the radio in the waiting room had already begun to broadcast, and the cuckoo's train was ready to check the ticket.
Before leaving, Montaigne gave Cuckoo another 400 yuan, but Cuckoo had no choice but to accept it, and told Montaigne to send it to Montaigne when she made money and paid her salary, Montaigne nodded.
The cuckoo was gone, and Montaigne spent the night in the waiting room, because he had only enough money to get a ticket back.
Cuckoo got on the train, at this time she took the train for the first time, her heart couldn't help but be a little nervous, and there was some excitement in the nervousness, although the direction of her life has changed temporarily, but there is still hope in her heart, survive this year, make more money, and strive to take a college entrance examination tomorrow...
The cuckoo sitting there was thinking nonsense, the train started, and the cuckoo looked out the window, although it was already dark and neon flashed outside, the cuckoo was getting farther and farther away from her hometown.
The seat next to the cuckoo was empty, and there was a woman in her thirties holding a child sitting opposite, the child cried a few times when she got on the train, and after the woman coaxed for a while, the child fell asleep, there were not many people on this train, there were many empty seats, and there was only the woman holding the child next to her, and their sides were empty.
After more than an hour of travel, the train stopped at a small station, and the cuckoo, who had been on the train for a day, was already a little tired, and by this time she was already groggy and almost asleep. It was at this time that a voice woke up the cuckoo, who was about to fall asleep, and it was a man's voice.
"Hello, is there anyone here with you?" A man said to the cuckoo.
The cuckoo looked up, it was a tall, thin man, he was wearing a brand new white shirt, a pair of half-rimmed glasses, and his skin was as fair as a girl. And his voice sounded very good, and he looked like he was about twenty-two or three years old. The man was looking at her with a smile.
The cuckoo hesitated for a moment and said, "No, no one!" β
At this time, the woman holding the child opposite also greeted warmly: "Sit down, big brother, no one." β
The man smiled again and looked at the cuckoo and motioned for him to sit next to him. At this time, the cuckoo found that the man was followed by an old woman, and it turned out that this was a mother and son.
The man sat next to the cuckoo, and his mother sat next to the woman who was holding the child. The cuckoo noticed that the old woman was also very kind, and after sitting down, he thanked her again and again. After the old woman sat down, she smoothed down the position of her heart with her hand, gasped for breath a few times, and then said to herself, "Hey! I'm old, and this body can't do it anymore. β
After the man sat down, he hurriedly took out a few heavy medicines and a bottle of water from his bag, skillfully divided the medicine and handed it to his mother, and then gave the water to his mother. The old woman took her medicine and closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.
The man took out a cloak and put it on the old woman so that she could rest for a while, and then sat down again.
The train continued to run, and there were still more than twenty hours to go from the terminal of Dujuanli. At eleven o'clock in the evening, the lights on the train dimmed, and the cuckoo, who had been very sleepy before, didn't know why he was not so sleepy anymore.
"Do you go to school or do you work?" The man asked the cuckoo.
By this time, the woman holding the child and the old woman on the opposite side were already asleep. Although the cuckoo didn't look at the man, she knew she was talking to herself. This sudden accosting didn't make Du Juan feel too much.
"I, I'm going out to work?" The cuckoo replied with some embarrassment.
"Look like a student!" The man said again.
The two strangers chatted back and forthγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Through chatting, the cuckoo learned something about this man.
His name is Li Zongmin, and he is a 23-year-old student at a university in Beijing, and the old woman opposite him is his mother. Li Zongmin took advantage of the summer vacation to accompany his mother to his uncle's house to visit relatives, because school was about to start and there were still some things at school, so he hurriedly came back with his mother. The place where the old woman got off was not far from the city where the cuckoo was going, and Li Zongmin was rushing back to school.
The two chatted a lot unconsciously, and in the chat, Du Juan learned that Li Zongmin also had a similar experience and situation as himself.
Li Zongmin said that he lives in a barren mountain village, his home is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and some of his relatives and villagers have never left the mountains in their lives. When he was young, he never had the luxury of coming out, and after Du Juan and Li Zongmin briefly talked about what happened in their home, Li Zongmin said that his father turned out to be a barefoot doctor in the village, and people in the village would look for his father if he had a major illness or a small disaster, and sometimes he would go to other villages to see people, because his father's medical skills were not bad, so the life of the family in the village was relatively good.
But an accident broke the tranquility of Li Zongmin's house, and one day the village committee received a phone call, which was from the village party secretary of a neighboring village, and the youngest son of the village party secretary had a high fever for several days, and today it was accompanied by a violent cough, and the family was afraid. The village party secretary had seen Li Zongmin's father's medical skills before, and this time he wanted Li Zongmin's father to rush over as soon as possible.
Li Zhongmin's father went, stayed at the village party secretary's house for three days, cured his son, and the village party secretary kept Li Zongmin's father for another three days, entertaining him with good wine and food, and when his father left, the village party secretary gave him money and some things, and lined up a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle to send his father.
This kind of thing is common in Li Zongmin's father's life, but I didn't expect this time to be the last time, Li Zongmin's father's agricultural four-wheeled vehicle was hit by a falling boulder on a mountain road because of a landslide on the mountain, and the two died on the spot.
Since then, Li Zongmin's family has also undergone earth-shaking changes, the pillar of the family is gone, and his mother has worked hard to raise Li Zongmin by going up the mountain to collect medicine and then going to the outside market to sell money.
Hearing this cuckoo, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, the handsome man in front of her had such a similar experience to herself, but the cuckoo didn't feel how much loss and inferiority he had from Li Zongmin's story, maybe this is the difference between men and women after they got into trouble.
Li Zongmin continued to tell that he lived up to his mother's expectations and was admitted to the county high school with excellent results, which was the only child in his village who was admitted to high school, and his mother also followed Li Zongmin to the county to work and continue to take care of and support Li Zongmin.
Li Zongmin had heard of this university, but she didn't dare to think about this university, and now this big boy with a similar experience to herself is a student of this school. At this time, Du Juan's heart was really mixed.
Li Zongmin continued to tell that he began to work part-time after going to college, Li Zongmin said that as long as there were no classes, he would go out to be a tutor, and if he wanted to do promotions on weekends, Li Zongmin not only did not have to pay for his school at home for a year, but also sent some money to his family.
Speaking of this, Li Zongmin smiled and said to Du Juan: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, my shirt has been passed down for two years." β
Du Juan looked at Li Zongmin's shirt, although it could be seen that it was not newly bought, but it could be seen that it was still so snow-white. The cuckoo suddenly had an indescribable respect and envy for the big boy. Du Juan felt that her ideal might still have hope, and her heart regained her fighting spirit at this time, just like when she reviewed before the college entrance examination, at that time Du Juan took out half of the fighting spirit, she swore that An An must be admitted to college and must go out, but later all kinds of great changes in the family have worn out Du Juan's fighting spirit.
Li Zongmin said that this time he had plenty of time, and when he came back from his uncle's house, his mother went home, and he went back to school directly, but his mother's health suddenly fell short in the past two days, and he was not worried about his mother going back by herself, so he wanted to send his mother home first and then back to school. But in this way, it is possible to miss the school's project, although Du Juan does not understand, but in Li Zongmin's words, Du Juan can hear that this project is very important to Li Zongmin.
The mother did not agree with Li Zongmin to send her back, of course, the parents did not want to delay the future of their children because of themselves, but it was impossible for a child like Li Zongmin to watch his mother drag his sick body home alone.
Li Zongmin let out a hi and silently looked at his elderly mother, who was riddled with illness.
Du Juan looked at Li Zongmin and asked, "Where is your home?" β
Li Zongmin looked back at Du Juan and said, "My family is in a small village in Shandong, and the name of our village is Baihu Village. β
