My name is Russell and I'm a doctor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On August 26, 2025, I returned to her hometown for the first time with my long-time friend You Lefan, in order to attend a wedding, a wedding that was especially special for her.

………………

"The shuttle bus from City C to County X at half past eight is about to start, please check in your tickets and get on the bus immediately."

At the bus station in City C, a polite and gentle notice sounded, and in the spacious waiting hall, people were full of people coming and going.

In the midst of the crowd, on a waiting seat, a woman with slightly lowered eyes, dressed in a pure white dress, sat quietly on the seat, with a peaceful face.

This is my friend, You Lefan.

She is not tall, only 1.56 meters, her body is extremely slender, and her face is slightly pale, which makes people think that she is not very healthy at first glance.

Her long, straight hair was casually draped behind her, and she went to the barbershop to get her hair done for the upcoming wedding, which she said she liked to be clean.

The strands of hair on her sideburns were carefully tucked behind her ears, revealing a face that was a little too thin.

She just sat in the crowd so ordinarily, different from the appearance of everyone with big bags and small bags, there was only a simple pure black bag in her arms.

She clutched a ticket tightly in her hand, and she looked at it with a soft smile of relief on her lips.

Hearing the notice of the ride, she finally raised her head, looked at the notification screen at the height, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and then looked at me, I understood, stood up, and stretched out her hand.

………………

In 2025, X County has taken off its old coat and has taken on a new look after more than ten years of modifications. High-rise buildings stand everywhere, and in this small county, people live and work in peace and contentment, and have their own joy.

I once saw the photo of X county in You Lefan's mobile phone, which can be said to be a somewhat dilapidated county, and it is really very different from today.

After arriving in X County, she and I got into another car again, which was a small shuttle bus from X County to H Town, which could only carry ten people.

Such a special bus is a car from the county seat to the towns and villages around the county.

When I got into the car with her, there were already two men in the car, and they looked at us when we got in the car, I think they should have seen Lefan next to me, but they turned their heads in an instant.

They were talking happily, and Le Fan and I sat behind them and listened quietly, her eyes looking out the window with a gentle face.

……

"Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiyang has only gotten married until now, and there are really few 31-year-old men who get married at this age in the countryside." One of them suddenly sighed.

"But no, look at us, which of us didn't get married early, by the way, how old are your children this year?" The other person also sighed, and the two began to talk about each other's families.

"At the age of seven, my parents are still urging my wife to have another one! Since the state canceled the policy of late marriage and late childbearing, my parents are really happy, after giving birth to my Beibei, they have always hoped that my wife can have another daughter, but Beibei was still young before, and she couldn't take care of it, and now Beibei is older, so she is ready to have another one. ”

"Well, too, it's not easy to take both children with them if they're too young."

"No, your child is almost five years old this year!"

"Yes, I'm five years old, and because it's a daughter, my mother is also urging me and my wife to have another one. When I got married, I thought I would be too late to get married, but I didn't expect Zhang Yiyang to be even more ruthless, and he didn't get married until he was 31. Speaking of Zhang Yiyang again, the person who spoke sighed again.

In fact, it is not too late to get married at the age of 31, after the introduction of the national policy of late marriage and late childbearing, it is considered early to get married at the age of 31, but in rural areas, marriage is generally much earlier.

"He should be the last one in our class to get married!"

"You don't know?" The man asked in surprise.

"Know what?"

"There's one more person in our class who isn't married!"

"Who?"

"You Lefan!"

"She's not married? She's 29 this year, too! ”

Just when the two of them were about to discuss the matter of You Lefan not getting married again, the car door was opened, and a brightly dressed woman stepped in, and the two men turned their heads to look at the car door again when the woman came in, and when they saw each other, all three of them were surprised.

"He Xi?" The two men spoke in unison.

"Tan Hui right? Xu Ran?? The woman was also surprised.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see you here." After being surprised, the woman named He Xi got into the car with a smile, and then naturally sat down in the seat next to them.

"yes, why are you in the county seat? Zhang Yiyang got married, you are his cousin, shouldn't you arrange a banquet for him? One of the men asked, confused.

He Xi smiled heartily, "Yes, I'm not just for my cousin, I went to the county seat to buy the ingredients for him for the wedding banquet, and the original things were not enough." ”

"Oh, I see!"

"By the way, Tan Huiyou, where are you working now?" He Xi smiled and said, "Your daughter should be five years old now!" ”

At this time, one of the men said, "I've been in X County all these years, where else can I go!" In the early years, I would go outside to break through, but now, I have taken care of it, and it is not bad to work well in X County, at least I can support my family. My daughter is also five years old this year, and your family Ruoyu is also six years old now! Married women are different. Although we have been in touch for the past few years, the time for you to chat with us on the QQ group is getting shorter and shorter! ”

The man who spoke was naturally Tan Hui right in He Xi's mouth.

And the other person is naturally Xu Ran.

At this time, Xu Ran also spoke: "That's right, and when I look at He Xi like this, it must be a very happy marriage, this time Zhang Yiyang got married, and your husband is also here!" I heard that he is still a lawyer, if our old classmates need a lawyer in the future, go to your husband's office, and you can ask him to give us a discount! ”

"Haha, of course, but it's better to have less of this kind of thing!" He Xi quipped.

Xu Ran and Tan Huiyou couldn't help laughing, this kind of busyness is indeed a little less, after all, it is not a good thing to involve legal issues.

"Eh, I just came in and I think I heard you talk about You Lefan, right?" He Xi suddenly asked.

"yes, we just talked about her when you came in. Speaking of which, those of us, although we haven't met much, but we still have sent photos to each other in the QQ group, this You Lefan We seem to have not seen each other for more than ten years, and we haven't seen her post any photos, even if there is, it was a long time ago, and she seems to have deleted all the photos in her QQ space. Are you still in touch with her? Tan Hui asked suspiciously.

Speaking of You Lefan, He Xi seemed to be unable to help but sigh slightly, and then shook his head, "I haven't been in contact with her all these years, maybe the only one who can contact her is Roman!" ”

"I remember you had a good relationship with her before, huh?" At this time, Xu Ran said suspiciously.

He Xi's eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't answer his words, but said, "I've contacted Roman these days, and she said that she would inform You Lefan." Maybe we'll be able to meet her this time, after all, it's my cousin's wedding, and she'll definitely come! Moreover, listening to Roman, Le Fan has changed a lot in recent years, if Roman doesn't tell us who Le Fan is, or if Le Fan doesn't admit it himself, I'm afraid even if she stands in front of us, we won't recognize her. ”

"Well, I know what you mean by that, when your cousin sent us a message informing us that he was going to get married, I subconsciously thought that the bride was You Lefan's, so the first thing I replied to him was, 'You Lefan and you are finally willing to get married?' You don't know that your cousin sent me a message back at that time that his wife's name was ...... What's it called? ”

"Zhao Ranyun." He Xi reminded with a helpless smile.

Tan Huiyou smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Yes, it's Zhao Ranyun." ”

Tan Huiyou sighed again and said, "You don't know, when I saw the message he replied, I really wanted to die." ”

"Hehe......" He Xi laughed: "It's okay, my cousin doesn't mind." ”

"I also know, but I didn't expect that they didn't make it to the end in the end." Tan Hui said right, as if he felt a little regretful.

"At the beginning, we could all see how much You Lefan liked your cousin, although they broke up later, but we could see that I am afraid You Lefan would not be able to let go at all. And I remember when You Lefan was still in college, the interaction between her and your cousin looked very intimate, and we all thought that even if they had broken up at that time, they would still be able to move on in the end. ”

Hearing Tan Huiyou say this, He Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I also know, but we can't interfere in the affairs of the two of them, and how to choose in the end is their business." ”

He Xi shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about them first." ”

Tan Huiyou and Xu Ran could see that He Xi didn't want to continue the topic, so they changed the topic.

Xu Ran took the lead in saying, "He Xi, I forgot your husband's name." ”

He Xi glanced at him, "My husband's name is Peng Wei, but you have to remember, otherwise I won't give you a discount in the future." He Xi couldn't help but laugh when he said it.

Tan Huiyou and Xu Ran also laughed, and the atmosphere between them was very good.

When they were chatting, there were two people coming in the car one after another, in this kind of county, the shuttle bus to the countryside is this kind of small special line, every fifteen minutes, and they leave on time.

However, because it is not the peak period for car rides, and it is not a holiday, the car is not full, and the car of ten people is only seated by six people, but at this time it is already good to be able to sit with six people.

The car set off, and the laughter of the three of them could be heard along the way, they talked about each other's lives, like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, lamenting that life was not easy, of course, they were indeed old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

From time to time, they will also sigh about the past, recall the youthful age, the youthful but beautiful things they have done.

The scenery next to the car flashed one by one, H Town is an ordinary mountain town, the road from X County to H Town is built along the river, I heard Le Fan say, it has been built for decades, but I didn't expect it to be used now.

The river is a small branch of the Yangtze River, with mountains on both sides, and I saw the smile on her lips softening as I looked at this familiar scene.

……

The car drove for about an hour and a half, and the two people who came up from behind got out of the car halfway, and now only us and the three people who were still talking to the parents were left in the car.

When they reached a fork in the road, He Xi said, "Master, I'll get off here!" ”

The driver who drove the car stopped, and just when Tan Huiyou was about to pay for the car for her, He Xi paid the car first, and also paid for Tan Huiyou and Xu Ran by the way, and then got out of the car, "Do you two want to go to my house to sit?" ”

Tan Huiyou and Xu Ran both shook their heads, Tan Huiyou said, "You are really positive, I also said that I paid for the car for you, I am really embarrassed to let a woman pay for the car for me." It's necessary to go to your house to sit, but forget it now, Zhang Yiyang's wedding the day after tomorrow, let's go to your house to sit down when the time comes! ”

He Xi was not reluctant, and smiled at the two, "You're still embarrassed, come on!" Okay, then I'll go first! After He Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand to the two of them, closed the car door, and the car started to start again.

But when the car started, through the window, she seemed to suddenly see us sitting in the back, and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, the car drove away.

Not long after He Xi got out of the car, after the car made a few turns, You Lefan, who had been sitting quietly beside me, also spoke, "Master, stop at the intersection in front." ”

The car stopped at the intersection, we got out of the car, paid for the car, closed the door for the driver, and then turned and walked straight towards the small buildings.

Nowadays, the countryside is no longer full of brick houses as it used to be, but all small buildings rising from the ground, which look very good.

As we walked down the road, I looked at her expression that had remained the same, and then I curled my lips and asked, "Are they your classmates?" ”

Le Fan hooked his lips and smiled, then nodded.
