On September 20, Niu Tiangou resolutely boarded the bus to Huaidong County again.

He wants to see Teresa Teng, the lover he has always been concerned about, to pursue his erotic love and love, counting, she should be 19 years old now, right?

Strange to say, when he decided not to meet other girls again, he was so eager to meet this lively and sweet little girl.

Only then did Niu Tiangou understand that love is strong when it comes to dedication, and single-mindedness is true.

The scene of meeting Teresa Teng for the first time seems to be in front of me again:

On that rainy day, they strolled the streets affectionately with umbrellas...... At that noisy station, she coquettishly pulled him to the ticket window again and again to go to his house to meet his parents...... In that cozy hostel, they used to have the absurd and sincere lingering ......

……

Arrive at Huaidong County Bus Station and then transfer again.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped on the side of the road not far from a small town, and Niu Tiangou got out of the car.

The September sky is unusually high; The weather in September is exceptionally cool; The wind in September is exceptionally soft; The green of the land in September is still there, and a large area is spread out to the far end.

After asking a few pedestrians on the side of the road according to the address, Niu Tiangou stepped on the path to a village.

The path bends, over a dirt slope, turns a ditch, and passes through a peach forest, Niu Tiangou finally sees the village located on the edge of a large pond.

At the intersection of the village, Niu Tiangou hesitated again.

yes, after all, I haven't corresponded with her for almost a year (a full 8 months). During this period, he went to Li Jing's house in Jinchuan City, Shaanxi and Gansu Province, then went to Pohu County, Jiangchang Province to meet Zhang Meijuan, and then went to Tian Meixia's house in Yelang County, Jiangnan Province, and Qin Xianglian's home in Huangyan County......

After Niu Tiangou and Teresa Teng met, he wrote a letter to her to express his apologies.

After receiving the letter, her family also sent a letter back to Niu Tiangou, to the effect that Teresa Teng is no longer a substitute teacher at school, and went to her uncle's house in Huaiyin City to help take care of the children, and wrote down the address of her uncle's house, asking Niu Tiangou to contact her. Niu Tiangou sent her a letter according to the address, but never received a reply from her......

Thinking of this, Niu Tiangou stood at the entrance of the village and flinched, just like a child who made a mistake and wanted to enter the house but was afraid of the scolding and snubbing of his family.

When Niu Tiangou was wandering and didn't know what to do, a thin woman came by on the road, and she hurried forward to inquire. Maybe this village is too big, maybe she is not from this village, and when I asked her, she didn't know very well.

Niu Tiangou had no choice but to make up his mind, muster up courage, and enter the village head-on.

When he arrived in the village, he asked two adults and another child, and only then did he find Teresa Teng's home under the guidance of this child.

This is a typical farm yard.

The courtyard is surrounded by trees and bamboo gardens, with bamboo roots connecting to the foundation of the house and a canopy covering the roof; White walls, gray and green tiled roofs.

When I entered the courtyard gate, I only felt a simple, warm and quiet atmosphere. The courtyard is spacious, and there is a low pig house next to the courtyard wall, in front of which are a few thick and curvy grape vines, on which hang a few bunches of purple or green grapes, and a few chickens and ducks are wandering leisurely under the grape trellises.

There was a well in the yard, and a girl was squatting next to the well with her back to the courtyard gate to cut sweet potatoes.

Probably sensing that there was someone at the gate of the courtyard, the girl turned her head and looked at the door.

Ah, it's her, Teresa Teng!

Although she is dressed plainly today, even a little "rustic", her beautiful and sweet face Niu Tiangou will never forget.

Teresa Teng also seemed to recognize Niu Tiangou, and there was a hint of surprise on her face: "You...... Come on? After speaking, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and stood up, blushed, then smiled sweetly, let Niu Tiangou into the house, and hurriedly went to pour tea.

Teresa Teng's sister heard the voice coming out of the room, looked at Niu Tiangou and was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand, smiled at him, greeted him warmly: "Brother sit", and hurriedly turned around and went into the kitchen.

After a while, her mother came back, saw Niu Tiangou, smiled and asked, "Where are you from?" The tone is warm and cheerful.

"He is the teacher in Yunyang County." Teresa Teng next to her hurriedly replied.

Niu Tiangou hurriedly stood up apologetically, smiled, and said hello.

……

At night, Teresa Teng took a flashlight and led Niu Tiangou to the outside of the house to go to the toilet, and then took him around the village.

The village is not too big, the night is thick, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the village is silent, and occasionally there are dim lights on the windows of a few houses, reflecting the vague bamboo shadows outside the windows.

The houses in the village are next to each other, and there are narrow lanes everywhere, with twists and turns. They came to a stop at the corner of a narrow alleyway.

"Why didn't you let me come to your house last time?" Standing in the dark night, Teresa Teng's gentle voice carried a hint of grievance, like anger and coquettishness.

"I'm ......" Niu Tiangou muttered, not knowing what to say, he couldn't say that he had gone to see a few more girls. I thought for a moment: "That's not ...... I'm going to go back and talk to my parents. ”

"You're not at home later?" Niu Tiangou asked instead.

"Hmm...... After the last time I met you, I went to my uncle's house in Huaiyin City to help take care of the children. Teresa Teng replied in the dark.

"Have you received the letter I sent you?"

"I didn't ...... No. Teresa Teng seemed surprised, "You wrote to me later?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe your uncle didn't receive it or didn't pass it on to you after receiving it...... Then those letters and photos that I originally sent you are still there, right? ”

"Photos? …… Oh, by me...... Go up in flames. Teresa Teng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Burned? You ......" Niu Tiangou was startled and seemed a little angry.

"The person in the photo is...... It's dead, what's the use of keeping it? Teresa Teng seemed a little complaining, "What I want to see is you, a big living person." ”

Hearing this, Niu Tiangou's heart was hot, and he hugged her gently...... In the distant night sky, two stars blinked, and the light reflected each other, gradually becoming softer and hazy, and finally seemed to melt......

……

The next day, Teresa Teng sent Niu Tiangou to the roadside station.

Before getting into the car, she said loudly: "You must come next week, I will wait for you at home!" ”

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou nodded and responded sincerely, "Go back quickly." ”

The car started, Niu Tiangou looked back, and saw that she was still standing on the side of the road and looking at it stupidly, and his heart was not hot, he felt that he would never leave her again, and he couldn't leave her anymore.

After a year of "crusing" to the east and west, and meeting from the south to the north, Niu Tiangou finally had a result and could give his parents an answer.
