Wu Xiaojun couldn't help but panic a little when he heard Director Jiang bring the topic to his niece who had mentioned to him before, lest she say something inappropriate in front of Bai Lingyan, so he didn't dare to look up at her, so he had to bow his head silently and eat vegetables.

Bai Lingyan didn't know the meaning of her words, but she didn't think so, gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Jiang, do you want me to say, although falling in love at school has its benefits, it is affected by the regional, family and social environment, and very few can be achieved in the end." Waiting for a qiē to be finalized before falling in love, although it takes a relatively long time, the probability of success is several times higher than in school. After the relationship is finished, it is impossible to meet, and your niece does not have to worry at all. ”

Director Jiang said lightly, "What Lingyan said is very realistic, it is really not easy to find a suitable one in society due to the influence of age and social range. I think it's better to talk about it in school, as long as two people can truly love each other, there is always a way to overcome external factors. Of the students I met, quite a few ended up coming together. Now the conditions are much stronger than before, and you will definitely have good results in the future! ”

Wu Xiaojun slowly raised his head and said with a smile, "Sister Jiang, it's too early to say this, and we haven't thought about it deeply, if you want to talk about a real love partner, it's not enough." Lingyan's family is in Pingbeimeng, and my family is in Pingdong Yuanzhen, thousands of miles apart. We still have a long way to go until we graduate, and it's hard to predict what will happen in the meantime. Even if we get along smoothly, employment is a difficult hurdle to cross. ”

Bai Lingyan continued, "Xiaojun is right, we just think that the two can get along emotionally and interact more with each other. ”

Director Jiang said with a smile, "Lingyan is very easy to say now, and you won't think like this when the time comes, and you won't be able to escape the responsibility of starting a family." It's time to think about it, and with my intuition, you're going to be able to come together in the future. I build yì in the future you have to consider the development of Pingxi, here is the second largest city in the province, but also the ancient capital of the national civilization, all aspects of the conditions are much superior, not to mention the medical resources are relatively rich, there are many opportunities, as long as you are willing to work hard, employment is not a big problem, nor is it an obstacle to prevent you from reaping the fruits of love, the key is whether you can truly love each other. ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "I also understand that the current society is a society of human feelings, and it is impossible to do anything without certain social relations, like we have no relatives and no reason here, and the time, place, and people do not occupy anything, and it is even more difficult to settle here than to ascend to the sky, and I don't even dare to think about it." ”

Director Jiang said, "Opportunities always favor those who are prepared, and you should set goals from now on and pay attention to the information from all sides for later use." With your drill strength and tenacity, and with Lingyan's intelligence, you will definitely be able to make your wishes come true, and I wish you well in advance! ”

Wu Xiaojun said in his heart, bless a fart! Don't you know that the two of us are working together to deceive you, and deliberately said with a smile on your face, "Lingyan, come together to thank Sister Jiang!" ”

"Thank you, Sister Jiang!"

Director Jiang's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said excitedly, "Looking at you, I'm really envious!" ”

After lunch, the three of them chatted about some professional issues, and Wu Xiaojun felt that it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he and Bai Lingyan got up to say goodbye.

Walking out of the gate of the family courtyard, Wu Xiaojun smiled at Bai Lingyan knowingly, "Oh, thank God, I can be restrained and uncomfortable, and I finally completed a task and fooled her, and now I can be completely relieved." ”

Bai Lingyan looked at Wu Xiaojun's relieved and smug expression, and smiled, "I don't feel anything, it's a very simple and easy thing, you make it so complicated." However, this kind of unexplained pretending to be a couple is the last time, and I don't want to take an example, and as for the aftermath, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Wu Xiaojun said again and again, "The last time, the last time, I will never let you be embarrassed again, and I promise to do what I say." After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed and he laughed, "There should be exceptions in special circumstances." ”

Bai Lingyan gently kicked his leg with her foot, and said with a sneer, "you, kick your nose and face, the dog skin plaster can't be removed if it sticks to it." ”

During this time, Wu Xiaojun felt that his eyelids were always jumping again from time to time, and he often dreamed of a qiē at home at night, dreaming that he and his parents were working in the field, staying in front of the radio with his father under the lamp, listening to the traditional storytelling of Shan Tianfang with relish, and talking about the past and the present. I don't know how many times I have felt this habitual and cyclical feeling caused by natural homesickness. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen my parents for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel restless.

The two talked about the situation at Director Jiang's house with great interest along the way, joked with each other, and came to the school unconsciously.

Wu Xiaojun happily hummed a little song and returned to the dormitory, as soon as he entered the door, his father's thin back came into view, and he was immediately surprised and happy, and asked happily, "Dad, when did you arrive?" ”

Wu Pingshun was smoking a cigarette and talking to Zhao Xiaozhou and Yan Gaofeng, and when he heard his son ask, he immediately turned around, stretched his brows and said with a smile, "I just arrived, and you came back before you finished smoking a cigarette." ”

Wu Xiaojun asked with concern, "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Wu Pingshun flicked the cigarette ash in his hand lightly, and said indifferently, "I've never been hungry or eat in the car, so I can eat something outside." ”

The two came to a braised noodle restaurant outside the school, it was already past the time for the guests to eat, the owner of the shop sat idle and had nothing to do, saw the two of them coming, and greeted them with a smile, "Two, do you want to eat noodles?" ”

Wu Xiaojun stopped and looked at it, and said to Wu Pingshun, "Dad, this noodle tastes good, so let's be here." ”

Wu Pingshun put his hands behind his back and said, "It doesn't matter, you can do anything!" ”

Wu Xiaojun saw that his father had agreed, and said, "Boss, come to a big bowl of braised noodles." ”

Wu Pingshun hurriedly stopped him, "Serve the army, a small bowl is fine, I can't finish the big bowl, it's a pity to throw it away." ”

Wu Xiaojun changed his words and said, "Boss, small bowl." ”

The shopkeeper replied, "Okay, please sit down and wait." ”

The two of them casually found a seat and sat down, Wu Xiaojun took a closer look at his father, his skin was dark, he was very thin and tired, his face was obviously haggard and much older, his eye sockets were deep-set, his eyes did not have a trace of brilliance, many wrinkles were added to his forehead, his temples became a little pale, and even his beard appeared white. When my father came suddenly, he seemed to be enduring great pain, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, and he didn't feel any joy or excitement. He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Dad, you have obviously lost a lot of weight during this time, and you don't have any energy, is there something going on at home?" ”

Wu Pingshun was stunned for a while, sighed and said, "Hey, the family is unfortunate, there is a bad seed, there is no way, it can't be clean, if it weren't for you who have always reassured me and supported my heart, I wouldn't have survived today!" ”

Something happened to my father suddenly, and sure enough, he guessed it. Worried that his father would be more tired when he sat in the car on an empty stomach all the way, which would affect his mood for eating, he immediately covered up his dull mood, turned his face to face the window, and diverted the topic, "Dad, the car arrived on time, and the road was quite smooth!" ”

Wu Pingshun smoked a cigarette and said, "Shun, there are not many people on the train at half past four in the morning, and I arrived at the station before three o'clock." ”

Wu Xiaojun was just about to speak, but the shopkeeper brought the stewed noodles with a smile on his face, gently placed it in front of Wu Pingshun, and said politely, "Uncle, please use it slowly!" ”

Wu Pingshun raised his eyes and looked at a bowl full of steaming braised noodles, although it was a small bowl, it was bigger than the bowl he usually used at home, and he couldn't finish it at all. He took a small bowl from the side, gently copied some with chopsticks and put it inside, looked at Wu Xiaojun and said, "Xiaojun, I can't eat so much, you can eat these!" ”

"Dad, I just had dinner and I'm not hungry at all."

"During this time, my meal is very small, it would be good to eat some, you are young and have a lot of food, it doesn't matter if you eat more." As he spoke, he bowed his head and ate noodles.

Wu Xiaojun looked at his father's expression of eating slowly, and his heart suddenly felt sour. Compared with the other brothers and sisters, the two can also talk the most, and their father can be said to be careful and caring for him. For their own food, clothing, school and future, their parents not only paid far more effort and sweat than their peers, but also endured mental torture and pressure, and they were always uneasy. But at present, I am in a difficult predicament, I can neither reduce the burden on their shoulders, nor can I give spiritual comfort, I hate that time passes too slowly, I hate that I can't be independent as soon as possible, and I hate that I can't give my parents a happy, relaxed and happy life. Thinking of this, the chopsticks in his hand kept tossing the noodles in the bowl back and forth, and he still refused to take a bite.

Wu Pingshun knew that Wu Xiaojun ate quickly, and when he saw that he didn't eat, he whispered, "I feel that I am old, nothing is better than before, no matter how good the meal is, I don't have any appetite, don't wait for me, I can't finish these things, don't rub it off, eat!" ”

Wu Xiaojun forced a smile and said, "Dad, you won't have a stomach problem again." Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the attached hospital for a special expert to carefully examine and see if there is any problem. ”

"I know my problems, I am all angry, as long as I don't get angry, there is nothing wrong. Let's not spend that unjust money! ”

Wu Xiaojun didn't want to say anything at the moment, Wu Pingshun finished eating the noodles and sighed, "Although the food here is more expensive than that in our county, it is affordable enough, I will finish it." As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and stood up slowly and weakly.

The two walked around the Chrysanthemum Department Store, and Wu Pingshun was a little unbearable, so he sat down on the roadside to rest.

Wu Xiaojun asked worriedly, "After I came back from dealing with Luo Xiao's affairs last time, I have been busy practicing in the department, and I haven't been able to go back for the autumn harvest and autumn planting. ”

Wu Xiaojun seemed to have said the sore spot in Wu Pingshun's heart, and said helplessly, "Don't mention it, it's hard to say!" ”
