After saying goodbye to Teresa Teng and returning to school, Niu Tiangou received a letter from Zhang Meijuan from Pohu County, Jiangchang Province to meet again.

Alas, the end of the year is too busy, Niu Tiangou is really inseparable.

In the afternoon, a colleague told Niu Tiangou that a telegram came from Jinchuan City, Shaanxi and Gansu Province yesterday, and that he was not at school and had been returned.

Niu Tiangou knew that it was sent by Li Jing from Jinchuan City, but he didn't know what the content was.

In the past few days, I am afraid that Pohu County in Jiangchang Province and Jinchuan City in Shaanxi and Gansu Province will not be able to go, because Tang Xiaoping from Xiangliu County in Jiangnan Province will go to Yunyang from the 26th to the 30th to meet Niu Tiangou.

Niu Tiangou waited at school until the 30th, and Tang Xiaoping did not come.

He decided that he would go to Jinchuan City in Shaanxi and Gansu Province tomorrow.

……

On the 31st, the third day of the first lunar month, Niu Tiangou embarked on a journey to Jinchuan City, Shaanxi and Gansu Province.

Li Jing is 1.64 meters tall, good looking, plump and well-proportioned, a native of Jinchuan City, graduated from high school, and drove a crane in a construction company in the city.

According to the law of equivalence of the conditions of Uncle Taurus, Niu Tiangou knew that his and Li Jing's conditions were completely unequal, not to mention her appearance conditions, but her urban living environment, Niu Tiangou was also out of reach. It's almost impossible.

But every letter from Li Jing deeply touched Niu Tiangou.

In the letter, she said: "I don't think you are short, 1.57 meters tall is still within my acceptable range, of course, if you are shorter, it will definitely not work." Dwarves are talented, Deng ×× is not tall, isn't he a great man? Isn't there a saying that 'don't be afraid when the sky falls, there are tall people on top'? Besides, you are good-looking, your job is stable, and your writing is very talented, I am willing to make you a friend......"

She also said, "I would love to meet you. I hope you have time to come to my house...... Wear more clothes when you come, we are very cold in the north, not warmer than you in the south...... It's a long way to go, don't catch a cold......"

“……”

Niu Tiangou knew the great contrast between the conditions of the city and the township, and the deep-seated contempt and disdain of the city people for the countrymen, and even if the girls were full of enthusiasm for a while, they would soon be extinguished by the cold gaze of their parents, siblings, relatives and friends.

Besides, he is self-aware of his height. Therefore, he thanked all the girls in the city for their letters.

Among them were tram drivers, workers in textile factories, silk factories, bed sheet factories, shop clerks, etc., and unemployed girls at home, among whom the beautiful girl who drove a bus and tram in a big city.

He could only endure the pain of parting love, he knew that his current conditions in the township were not worthy of them, and he didn't want to end up scarring the two of them.

But this is the only Li Jing, he can't seem to refuse.

It is enough for a girl in the city to have such a heart for him, and if things don't work, he has the right to take a Spring Festival trip. Niu Tiangou leaned on the seat of the train and comforted himself.

After a day and a night and a six-hour trip, Niu Tiangou finally arrived in Jinchuan City.

The next morning, Niu Tiangou found Li Jing's home in the courtyard of a building according to the address.

Niu Tiangou came to the door, and a woman in her 40s greeted her in the house, presumably Li Jing's mother. She asked, "Are you ......?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Li Jing." Niu Tiangou replied with a smile.

"Jingjing, your classmate is here." Li Jing's mother hurriedly turned her head and shouted into the house.

Li Jing's mother let Niu Tiangou into the door, Li Jing came out of the room, glanced at Niu Tiangou, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You are Niu ......"

Niu Tiangou nodded. Li Jing hurriedly went into the room to bring out a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, and her mother also made a cup of tea for Niu Tiangou.

Sitting down, Li Jing's mother asked Niu Tiangou's address and family situation, and then called Li Jing into the room.

After muttering for a while, they came out. Niu Tiangou felt that Li Jing's mother's face was a little wrong, so after thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go." ”

"You kid, you haven't drunk a sip of tea for the New Year." Seeing that Niu Tiangou was leaving, Li Jing's mother seemed to feel a little sluggish, and hurriedly said, "Since you are here, why do you have to eat before leaving." ”

"Nope." Niu Tiangou walked to the door.

"Then I'll take you to the hostel first." Li Jing left her mother and followed.

Li Jing and Niu Tiangou went out side by side, the weather in the north was really cold, and there were still small patches of snow on the road outside.

Suddenly, Li Jing's feet slipped on the frozen snow, her body leaned back, and Niu Tiangou hurriedly helped her. Seeing Niu Tiangou like this, she secretly "eat" and smiled.

Out of the courtyard gate, Li Jing seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and said, "Are you cold?" I'll go back and get a scarf. ”

"No, no." Niu Tiangou hurriedly said. But Li Jing still turned around and returned home.

After a while, Li Jing took a long brown woolen scarf, stood in front of Niu Tiangou, and wrapped it around his neck with her own hands, and she also carried a red velvet bag in her hand.

"I thought you weren't coming, and the telegrams sent to you were all back." Li Jing finally pulled the scarf for him, looked at him with satisfaction, and then said.

"I wasn't in school at the time. Later, I heard from my colleague that I realized that you sent it. ”

"It's been hard along the way, isn't it?"

"It's fine."

……

Li Jing found a hostel for Niu Tiangou, went upstairs to the room and sat for a while, and then suggested with a smile: "I'll accompany you to the street, let you see the cityscape of our Jinchuan City, and see how our northern city is different from your southern city." ”

The girl in the city is more generous and chic than the girl in the township, and when she came out of the hostel to the street, Li Jing naturally took Niu Tiangou's arm.

It's the first time for Niu Tiangou to "walk with arms" with a girl on the street, and he is really a little unaccustomed, but it's not easy to excuse himself, so he will seem too "old hat".

Feeling the softness and warmth of her arms and armpits, Niu Tiangou's heart was suddenly filled with warmth and romance, this soft and warm, panicked and sweet feeling was simply wonderful, he only felt that his bones were several taels lighter, and the whole person seemed to be walking in the clouds!

Nima, Niu Tiangou has lived so much, and today I realized that it turned out that shopping with the girl's soft limbs was actually a fairy-like enjoyment!

Those couples in the countryside who don't even dare to hold hands on the street are aggrieved.

"What did your mom tell you just now?" Niu Tiangou tried his best to calm his excited mood, and only turned his head and pretended to ask calmly after a while.

She ...... She didn't seem to want me to go far away, and wanted me to stay with her. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I ...... I wanted to go south, but I couldn't bear my mother...... I don't know what to do. Li Jing seemed to feel a little embarrassed, "My mother...... I'm worried, when I get to you, if we make some conflicts, you ...... What if you don't want me anymore? ”

“……”

……

After walking around the two streets, Li Jing bought some snacks to eat, Niu Tiangou bought two teaching books (these two books are very practical, the school will not buy them for teachers, he can only pay out of his own pocket), and they returned to the hostel.

"I'll come back to see you in the evening." Entering the room, Li Jing put down the red velvet bag with snacks and said.

"Okay."

……

Before it was evening, Li Jing came again, smiled and said to Niu Tiangou: "Come to my house for dinner." My dad is back, he wants to see you, he wants to ask about you. ”

"What should I tell your father?"

"Whatever you want. It's okay if you don't fool him. Li Jing doesn't seem to have a good way. Then she said, "Hurry up, my brother's car is waiting below." ”

Niu Tiangou came out with Li Jing and got into a van. Her brother glanced back at Niu Tiangou and started the car.

……

After eating, Li Jing's father inquired in detail about Niu Tiangou's school and family.

Li Jing's father is a doctor, and asking Niu Tiangou is like asking about the condition of a strange patient, with a calm and expressionless face.

Li Jing entered the room dissatisfied, and her mother followed in, as if she was persuading something.

"Who introduced you?" Finally, Li Jing's father asked.

"It's the ××× of Jinchuan Middle School." It seems that her father's thinking is still very traditional, and Niu Tiangou can only fool around.

Li Jing's father glanced at Li Jing's brother, and seemed to ask her brother to go to Jinchuan Middle School to inquire, Li Jing's brother quickly got up and went out.

After a while, Li Jing's mother came out of the room, sat next to Niu Tiangou, and said to Niu Tiangou seriously: "I understand your intention to come, but I am such a girl, I don't want her to marry far away...... You will think about us old people, if I were your mother, what would she do if she encountered such a situation? Is she willing to marry her far away? I know it's not easy for you to come all the way, but you have to be considerate of our difficulties as old people......"

“……”

……

In the end, Li Jing's brother came back and drove Niu Tiangou back to the hostel.

sat on the bed and thought about it, he felt that Li Jing's parents were right, if she really followed him, could he give him happiness? In such a township, in such a poor and remote country, don't say that she can't find a job, even the bleak environment will make her unbearable.

He didn't want Miss Li Jing to regret it for the rest of her life because of a momentary impulse, that would hurt her and hurt herself.

Mo said that Jinchuan City, such a prosperous and developing medium-sized city, is the county seat of Yunyang, and the girls in the city are still unwilling to marry the township.

It's okay to break up like this, he didn't have any extravagant hopes this time, just to experience the marriage and love concept of northern city people, and now he understands that in fact, northerners and southerners have the same view of marriage and love, and people in a superior environment want to keep their children by their side.

Cities will always be cities, towns will always be towns, and there will always be an insurmountable "heavenly river" between them -- the difference between urban and rural areas that is 18,000 miles away, and he and Miss Li Jing have always been people living on both sides of the "heavenly river" and can never get close to the two "stars."

……

The next morning, Niu Tiangou went to say goodbye to Li Jing.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet Li Jing's father coming out.

Li Jing's father stood still, seemingly unwilling to let Niu Tiangou go to see Li Jing. Niu Tiangou handed him Li Jing's red velvet bag and scarf, turned around and wanted to leave, and Li Jing came out.

Li Jing walked over and took the scarf from her father's hand, turned to Niu Tiangou and said, "I'll send you." ”

Li Jing's father looked at it in a daze, and seemed very unhappy.

When he came to the hostel, Niu Tiangou packed his things, put his satchel on his back, and said to Li Jing: "You go back, I'm leaving." ”

Li Jing walked up to Niu Tiangou and looked at him in a daze, as if she wanted to say something.

Niu Tiangou was a little uncomfortable, hugged her, and kissed her on the face and mouth for a while. Her face is round and smooth, and her lips are plump and warm.

After that, Li Jing turned crimson, put the scarf around Niu Tiangou's neck again, and said softly: "You can wear this scarf, on the way...... It's going to be cold. ”

Li Jing and Niu Tiangou walked out of the hostel, and her brother's car was parked outside.

They got on the train and went straight to the station.

After a while, we arrived at the station. When Niu Tiangou got into the car, Li Jing stuffed a roll of 5 yuan bills into his hand, and Niu Tiangou hurriedly stuffed it back to her, saying, "I have money in my hand." ”

The car drove away, and Li Jing was still standing there in a daze......

Alas, farewell, Li Jing!

Farewell, city girl!
