The next day, when the other brothers were still cherishing the rare weekend and snoring like thunder, Wu Xiaojun had quietly gotten up, finished freshening up, and went straight downstairs to the girls' apartment, waiting for the arrival of Luo Xiao and the others.

For this trip to Xinning, Wu Xiaojun was still more careful, deliberately cleaned up, put on the light blue long-sleeved shirt he just bought and navy blue hidden striped trousers, wore black leather shoes on his feet, and the retro gentleman's hairstyle was smeared by Morse and brightened, looking graceful, energetic and handsome.

Soon Luo Xiao and the other three walked downstairs chattering, through the dawn of the morning, it can be seen that Luo Xiao and Shao Yingying are wearing clothes of the same quality and color, both wearing aqua white long-sleeved shirts and beige casual pants below.

Wu Xiaojun said happily, "You two sisters, today are the Nine Heavens Fairy down to the earth, the green clothes and tulle are like flowers, the willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes are beautiful, energetic, slim, generous, beautiful and outstanding, walking on the street, it is a beautiful landscape, I don't know how many merry teenagers have been dumped." ”

Luo Xiao's face was full of joy, and the silver tooth smiled, "Mei Xiang, I see how much your family serves the army, I think he is dressed well today, the young man is polite, well-dressed, handsome and chic, fresh and handsome, almost similar to the new son-in-law." ”

Qin Meixiang's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Sister Luo, why listen to you, it seems that Xiaojun is going to your house on a blind date, if your sisters pull Xiaojun away, I can thank God, save worry, and be completely relieved." ”

When Wu Xiaojun heard this, he was embarrassed to get up, and hurriedly said, "Two, please don't use me as a target to make fun of me, I don't go through shabu." Let's hurry up and catch the car, maybe Shao Yingniang is anxiously waiting for the two eldest ladies to return early at the entrance of the village. ”

Qin Meixiang held Wu Xiaojun's arm, Luo Xiao and Shao Yingying hugged each other tightly, chatting and laughing all the way, and soon came to the station.

In the morning, the road is sparsely populated, and the riders quickly leave the city and gradually sneak slowly along the provincial road at the foot of the mountain, which is bumpy and uneven, bumpy and trembling, and in urgent need of repair.

Wu Xiaojun, Qin Meixiang and Luo Xiao stepped into the mountains for the first time, they all felt strange and curious, through the car window outward, only to see the road winding through the mountains, the distant mountains are continuous, foggy, full of mysterious colors, faintly visible a clear river flowing quietly, the fish scale pits on the slopes of the mountains are lined up one after another, the layers of terraced fields are scattered, under the sunlight, the excellent blocks are outlined, the lines are smooth, the patterns are varied, and there is a unique meaning, just like a living landscape painting. It's dizzying, and it's imaginative. Plains are mostly similar, and after watching them for a long time, they will feel monotonous, boring, mediocre, and dull; The mountains are by no means the same, each with its own characteristics: strange, dangerous, beautiful, beautiful, interesting.

Luo Xiao sighed at the road he had come all the way, savoring the qiē he had experienced, like the twists and turns of the mountain road was not smooth, there were times when he wandered at the fork in his life, there were also moments of sadness in the face of difficulties, and there were joys and sorrows in the face of his ups and downs. Looking back on the road we have traveled, we may not know what the future will be, or we should forget what we have endured in the past, because what we have experienced will pass, and setbacks will be trampled underfoot.

The car bumped all the way, walked for more than an hour, in front of it was a steep slope with an inclination angle of more than 30 degrees, and on both sides of the top of the slope were almost upright, more than 200 meters high peaks, like two tall and mighty generals standing quietly. Shao Yingying hurriedly introduced, "The mountain in front is called Badou Mountain, it is the natural barrier of the ancient pass, according to legend, the young famous minister is buried here after his death, and the late Sui Wei Chi Gong fought Shan Wei here, which is the site of the famous ancient battlefield. Crossing this mountain is the county seat. ”

In the blink of an eye, the car reached the top of the slope, and looked forward through the window, surrounded by mountains and mist, and the accumulation of buildings in the form of strips was faintly visible. The bus traveled along Badou Mountain for more than 20 minutes, crossing a dilapidated arched narrow bridge of less than 20 meters, and entered Xinning County. The county seat is not big, there is only one east-west street through the city, there are some dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, there are too many people on the street to rush to the market, it is quite crowded, many vehicles are difficult to move an inch, and the driver keeps honking. It took less than two kilometers of streets to escape from it for a whole hour and a half, and several people were desperately killed. Qin Meixiang wanted to complain a few words, but was gently stopped by Wu Xiaojun, Luo Xiao's expression was stern, and he didn't say a word, as if he was silently thinking about something.

Shao Yingying said helplessly, "We are often like this here, this street is the only way for passing vehicles, and it is usually better, but when it comes to gatherings, it is like this, which makes you tired." ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "Actually, it's the same everywhere, and we often have such a situation." ”

Out of the county all the way smoothly, to the town four people get off, along the Haining railway line walk more than three miles, to the village entrance, here stands a more than two meters high rock, engraved "Xiahe Village" three big characters. The village is relatively large, with about 1,000 households, and is a rather poor and backward mountain village, with mountains on the south side, railways and green rivers in the north, all the way to Pingxi City.

Wu Xiaojun and the others saw a middle-aged woman sitting on a stone at the entrance of the village from a distance, constantly looking at the road, Shao Yingying said, "Sister, you see our mother is sitting there waiting for us." ”

Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt numb, his mind was in a mess, there was a feeling of being more timid about his hometown, and he didn't dare to see anyone, he hesitated, and muttered, "Yingying, this is your village, the person in front of me is your mother, my legs are weak, and I can't walk." ”

Wu Xiaojun and Qin Meixiang said, "Luo Xiao, I'm going home soon, don't be too excited to see your long-lost mother." ”

Shao Yingying took Luo Xiao's hand and said embarrassedly, "Sister, hurry up and go home, you see that our mother has come to pick us up." Luo Xiao still stood still with his head down.

Qin Meixiang then persuaded, "Luo Xiao, isn't this the happy event you have been looking forward to for a long time, since you have arrived at the place, you can't think about it anymore, you see that Yingying is so anxious that she cries, let's go." As he spoke, he grabbed Luo Xiao's shoulders with both hands and pushed forward.

Shao Yingyingniang learned that the girl who had been abandoned by her for more than 20 years had a message, and she was about to see it, and she didn't close her eyes for a few days with excitement, she was surprised and happy, sad and sad, ashamed and ashamed, and didn't know how to face it. Dreams are all about the happy times with his father back then, and there are also sad scenes of abandoning his daughter to run away from home on a stormy night, and more imagining that his daughter looks fat or thin, tall or short, like himself or like his father. Finally looking forward to the arrival of this day, Shao Yingying's room was cleaned up in advance, and early in the morning, he went to the town to cut a few catties of meat, killed the only Luhua rooster and stewed it, and came to the entrance of the village in a hurry, anxious, looking left and right and waiting for his daughter's figure to appear.

Shao Yingniang was bowing her head and pondering, "Yingzi Niang, you haven't worked in the field, what are you doing sitting here?" The neighbor's aunt passed by and beckoned. Her aunt, Yingzi and a few of her classmates came over today, and I will pick it up. Saying that, he glanced at the road, and there were four young people walking towards him, and when he saw that it was Yingzi back, he was very excited, and got up to meet him.

Looking at the girl holding Yingzi's hand, she couldn't help but stop, rubbed her eyes, stared at her eyes and looked up and down carefully, this is her eldest daughter, she really looks too similar to Yingzi, and suddenly tears flowed down, and she couldn't say a word.

Shao Yingying hurriedly said, "Mother, this is your eldest daughter, my sister Luo Xiao, sister, this is our mother." Luo Xiao was suspicious, glared at Shao Yingying indecisively, and said in his heart that the yellow-skinned, tired woman in front of him was his own mother, no matter what, he couldn't believe it, could it be a mistake, and whether this trip really shouldn't have come.

Shao Yingying stepped forward tremblingly, Zhang Huang was at a loss, choked and said, "Girl, my mother finally saw you, let my mother take a good look." Luo Xiao raised his head, his eyes were sour, and he choked back tears, but he silently looked at the quietly flowing river.

Shao Yingying looked at the two of them looking at each other, with sad faces, quite embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Mother, these two are Wu Xiaojun and Qin Meixiang I told you." ”

Shao Yingying turned around slowly, "Thank you so much, thank you so much, don't stand here, it's not far from our house in front, hurry up and enter the house, drink some water and rest." As he spoke, he grabbed Luo Xiao's hand again, and begged with a dumbfounded voice, "Girl, my mother is sorry for you, go home with my mother." ”

Qin Meixiang looked at Shao Yingying's pitiful appearance, her heart was sour, she grabbed Wu Xiaojun's arm, and persuaded in a low voice, "Luo Xiao, look at how happy my aunt is to see you, don't be stunned anymore, hurry up." ”

Wu Xiaojun also said, "Now is not the time to speak, go home and have a good chat, it's really not easy to come back, and it's not a matter to stand at the entrance of the village all the time, let others see it and laugh at it, you are a person who understands things, you can't be a thief who plays with a child's temper." ”

Under the painstaking persuasion of everyone, Luo Xiao finally nodded lightly, his face full of frustration, and he walked forward with everyone listlessly.

After all, the village is not a city, the two young people walked shoulder to shoulder, twisting and twisting, to cause others to laugh, Wu Xiaojun felt very embarrassed, and Qin Meixiang seemed to be trembling in her heart, walking side by side next to Wu Xiaojun at all times, as if she deliberately said something to others and explained something.

Rural people have nothing to do, and they often have the habit of squatting or leaning against the wall and sitting in front of their homes, peeling vegetables, sewing clothes, chatting, and laughing. Shao Yingying and a girl with a particularly similar appearance wore clothes of the same color and style, which was particularly eye-catching. On the way, I met a few villagers, one by one, with strange eyes, I carefully looked at the three neatly dressed, handsome and beautiful, handsome and chic foreign young people, and sincerely let out a sigh of admiration, and took the initiative to greet Shao Yingying and Shao Yingying, "Yingzi Niang, your Yingzi is really promising, and there are guests at home." ”

"Yingying is back, your classmates are so beautiful, it's really rare."

"During the holidays, a few of Yingzi's classmates came over to play."

"I just arrived, my aunt is sewing the quilt, and the work in the field is done."

…………………………………………

There was a fat aunt who stared at Luo Xiao behind her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Yingzi Niang, how similar Yingzi's classmate looks like Yingzi, it's like a sister, it can have such a coincidence, I haven't heard of any relatives in your mother's family for so many years." ”

Shao Yingying said with a smile, "Aunt Zhou, this is my cousin, her home is in Xiangzhou, and she rarely came to my house before. ”

The fat aunt said to herself, "Yingzi's cousin is really handsome, what are you talking about, my home is in Xiangzhou...... Home in Xiangzhou...... Home in Xiangzhou" suddenly said loudly in surprise, "Mom, I remembered, no wonder she looks so similar to Yingzi, is she Yingzi's illegitimate daughter in Xiangzhou in her early years." ”
