The journey was smooth, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the bus arrived at Yuanzhen Station.

The two got out of the car, and Luo Xiao took Wu Xiaojun to a nearby department store and bought some daily necessities, a loose flower brand cigarette and an elderly women's down jacket. Out of the gate of the mall, Luo Xiao said with a smile on his face, "Xiaojun, you take back the cigarettes and down jackets, it is a little bit of my heart for my uncle and aunt." As he spoke, he handed his hands to Wu Xiaojun.

"Sister Xiao, no, no, I can't take this with me, you better take it back."

"Look at your head shaking like a rattle, what's not to do. Besides, I didn't buy it for you, I asked you to bring it to the second elder, do you have less trouble with our Luo family and Shao family, you and Yingzi are together, and you will need to take care of it more in the future. What's the matter, are you still so alive with me? ”

"This is not appropriate, if you don't have a relationship and don't have a reason, how can they ask for your things." Wu Xiaojun said that he didn't want anything.

"What is suitable or inappropriate, if you say kissing, you will kiss and say that you will bring it, and if I think it is appropriate, it will be appropriate. Where did you usually run neatly, how did you become a mother-in-law, obedient, hurry up and take it, or I'm going to be angry. ”

"Don't be angry, I'll just take it. I'm worried that if you bought it, they'll have to think more crookedly. ”

"Remember my words, let it be, think when you should think about it, think about it when you don't want to think about it, and think about it in vain when you shouldn't think about it."

Wu Xiaojun was particularly embarrassed to take things, the two found a public phone booth again, Luo Xiao picked up the phone and called home, and soon the phone was connected, and it was his father Luo Wen who answered the phone.

Luo Wen knew that the girl was coming back in the past two days, and he was very happy, he cleaned up the house early yesterday morning, prepared Luo Xiao's favorite dishes, and stayed at home all day without going anywhere, watching TV and waiting for the girl's call. In the evening, I received a call from Chen Jie, saying that Wu Xiaojun went to Luo Xiao, asked if he had come back, and praised Wu Xiaojun again, considered the problem carefully and thoughtfully, and went around in a big circle, before proposing to go to her house with Luo Xiao for the New Year.

Luo Wen waited from day to night, and from night to midnight, and never received a call from Luo Xiao, and his heart became nervous and anxious, repeatedly thinking about why Luo Xiao had no news and what Chen Jie mentioned, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep. I wasn't very worried about Luo Xiao having military colleagues taking care of each other, mainly because I couldn't make up my mind whether to go to Chen Jie or not. It wasn't until noon the next day, when I saw the Pingyuan noon news, that I felt the seriousness of the problem, and made three consecutive phone calls to the county transportation bureau to understand the situation, but whether Luo Xiao and Wu Xiaojun took the accident car had no result, so they had to lie on the sofa and continue to guard the phone. When the phone rang, he hurriedly picked it up and asked eagerly, "Is it Xiaoxiao, where are you and Xiaojun now, do you know that a car had an accident in your county last night?" ”

Luo Xiao felt that his father already knew the news of the car accident, and whispered to Wu Xiaojun, "My dad asked us if we knew that a car had an accident in our county, and what to say." ”

Wu Xiaojun immediately crawled into Luo Xiao's ear and whispered, "I haven't heard that there was an accident on the road, I am getting on the train at Yuanzhen Station to go home, and you will pick me up at the station in half an hour." ”

After making the call, Luo Xiao pursed his lips and smiled at Wu Xiaojun, "You kid is really a thief, very cunning, you have to put a question mark on what you say in the future, whether it is true or not, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be deceived by you." ”

"You can't give me such a big hat, it's called a white lie, and sometimes it's a last resort. If you think about it, your old man was already very worried about your delay in returning, and if you shook out the truth in one go, he wouldn't have to worry about it, and maybe he would be anxious. Don't keep your dad waiting too long, get in the car. ”

Seeing Luo Xiao take the shuttle bus to Mingjiu Town, Wu Xiaojun called an electric tricycle and returned home in the evening.

At home, the third brother Wu Xiaojun was talking with his father Wu Pingshun and his mother with a nervous expression. Seeing Wu Xiaojun coming back, they were stunned one by one and were stunned for a long time. Wu Xiaojun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Junniang was excited with tears in her eyes, and complained, "It's all said on TV, there is a car in our county that has an accident in our county, your brother can't rest assured, he came back to take a look, and I haven't seen you all afternoon, why are you going, don't come back early." ”

"Hey, I thought something was wrong, the schools just had a holiday, there were many people at the train station, I didn't buy the ticket a few days ago, and I got on the bus at eight o'clock this morning, I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, and I rushed back as soon as I got off the bus in the county. What is there to worry about, am I fine. ”

"What's the matter with a bag on your forehead?" Wu Pingshun asked as he smoked a cigarette.

"When I got on the train this morning, there were a lot of people, and I accidentally touched the train door, and it didn't hurt or itch."

"Dad, a few days ago, I saw that it was cheaper to deal with down jackets at the night market near the school, so I bought one for my mother by the way. I didn't buy anything else in the county, I brought you a cigarette. As he spoke, he handed it to the second elder with a smile and sat down next to Xiaosen.

"I'm not a rare down jacket, wearing old and awkward, a waste of money." Xiao Junniang lowered her head and said with a sad face.

Wu Xiaojun knew his parents' habits, and every time he came back, he had to ask the bottom until he was sure that nothing had happened. Looking at their extremely worried expressions, he didn't dare to say a word at all, let alone mention Luo Xiao, afraid that as long as he mentioned it, he would definitely ask endless questions, maybe any sentence leaked out of his mouth, it would be enough for the second elder to sleep well for a few days and nights. More is better than less, sometimes a white lie is more important than anything else, it can save a lot of misunderstandings and annoyances, and he lied to his parents as well.

"Xiaojun, have you had any news of Qin Meixiang during this time, and has she ever gone to look for you?" Xiao Junniang always remembered Qin Meixiang, and came up to ask.

"There has never been any news, and during this time, I was so busy with exams and class affairs that I almost forgot about her." Wu Xiaojun said lightly.

"Some time ago, there were a lot of rumors in the county, all of which had noses and eyes, but no one knew whether it was true or not." Wu Xiaosen, who had rarely spoken, answered.

"Brother, what are the sayings, let's hear them."

"What did the mayor's family disappear in fear, the dean's family forced to jump into the pit, and the president's family worked in the south; Some say that the mayor's daughter-in-law fell from the upstairs and died in a mad manner, and the daughter ran to the field and died, and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials were completely retributed; What's even more mysterious is that the family was happy after sacrificing one, the president's daughter-in-law went abroad with a huge amount of money, and the mayor's daughter-in-law pretended to be crazy and took her daughter to do business in other places with money, etc. ”

Wu Xiaojun knew that Qin Meixiang was fine now, so he pretended to be calm and said, "These are just people's mouths after tea and dinner, and they are not enough." The actual situation is best known only to the parties. ”
