Chapter 10 To the Dongjiang River

When night fell, I don't know when, Wang Ming fell asleep in a drowsy mood, until early in the morning, there was a sound from outside the house, which made him frown and his eyes opened.

There was a feeling of heaviness on his body, Wang Ming moved, little Lori was wearing pajamas, I don't know when she was lying on his lap, she was sleepy at this time, and the little Lori in her sleep frowned from time to time, and occasionally muttered unclear words at the corners of her mouth.

Wang Ming carefully pulled out his legs, got out of bed gently, covered her with the blanket on the side, and smiled on his face, looking like this, he didn't know what time the little Lori would wake up at night, for fear that Wang Ming would wake up when he woke up, so he lay on his body and fell asleep.

Looking at the sky, Wang Ming walked out of the room, there was a sound in the kitchen on the side, his mother Yang Xia was busy in the kitchen, Wang Ming's heart was warm, at this time, his father's figure also appeared at the door, and when he came in, he saw Wang Ming, and rarely smiled, but the fatigue in that smile was to let people know that early in the morning, the pillar of the family was still going to work in the fields as before.

After saying hello to his parents, Wang Ming finished washing, and little Lori walked out in pajamas with sleepy eyes, but there was panic on her face, and she was slightly relieved when she saw Wang Ming.

The family ate breakfast, and her mother Yang Xia stayed at home for physical reasons, and when she left, she looked at Wang Ming's back and quietly wiped a handful of tears.

Wang Ming and his father took the little Lori, along the main road of the village out of the door, to the Dongjiang long-distance bus town has, but from home to the town, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk, along the way, Wang Zheng dragged the box, Wang Ming stretched out his hand several times, were blocked back by his father, the atmosphere was a little gloomy, met familiar villagers, most of them came forward to say hello, after learning that Wang Ming gave up school to go to work news, some of the villagers who were good on weekdays expressed some regret.

However, everyone knows the situation in Wang Zheng's family, so in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ming, there was a little appreciation in his regret, and in this regard, Wang Ming just smiled in return.

Little Lori said very little today, pulling Wang Ming all the way, her little palm was very strong, she raised her head from time to time, and her big black and shining eyes were full of reluctance.

Slowly, the three of them arrived in Daliutan Town, where all kinds of cheap goods were placed on both sides of the street, and at the entrance of some shops, loudspeakers kept shouting the sound of clearance and sale, and from time to time there were bursts of fragrance coming from the small stalls on the side of the road.

Little Lori, who is a foodie on weekdays, was indifferent to the scents that made her salivate in the past, holding Wang Ming's hand tightly, and walking with her head down.

A few people stopped in front of the simple stop sign on the side of the road, looking at Wang Zheng, who was smoking without saying a word, Wang Ming silently pulled the little Lori, and bought two rock sugar gourds in front of the roadside vendors.

"Okay, be happy, my brother will be back in a while, and when I come back, my brother will take you out to play and eat delicious food, okay?"

Wang Ming squatted down and reached out to lift the face of the little Lori, at this time Wang Li's eyes were red, and she was about to cry, Wang Ming stuffed the rock sugar gourd into her hand, and gently hugged her and comforted her.

"The car is coming."

Wang Zheng on the side took a puff of inferior cigarettes, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and sadness flashed on his tired face.

"Let's go, stay safe on the road, take care of yourself over there, if you really can't... If we come back, there will be no shame. ”

Wang Zheng opened his mouth to speak, and the suitcase in his hand was carried to the front of the car, turned to look at Wang Ming and the little Lori with a crying face, and spoke.

Wang Ming nodded, and under the impatient gaze of the conductor, he turned around and kissed Xiao Lori's forehead, and then took the suitcase and turned around and stepped on the long-distance bus.

And at the moment when Wang Ming stepped into the car, the little Lori finally cried out loudly, tears like beads with broken threads, constantly dripping from the big shining eyes, and even crying forward, wanting to grab Wang Ming's arm, but was hugged by Wang Zheng on the side.

"Alas... Let's go. ”

Wang Zheng waved his hand, and when the deep voice came out, the thin body with a sense of exhaustion that could not be concealed, hugged the little Lori who was crying heartbreakingly, and walked slowly towards the way back.

Wang Ming stood in the car, through the mottled glass window, looking at the old and the young gradually moving away, his eyes were also a little red, the car slowly drove away, and the vision of the qiē, accompanied by the slow retreat of the willow trees on the side of the road, gradually became strange.

Wang Ming took a deep breath, his feelings gradually recovered, after paying the fare, he found a seat near the corner, sat there in silence, for a long time, he raised his head, looked at the scenery outside the window that had become unfamiliar, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face.

The long-distance bus from Daliutan to Dongjiang can only arrive in the afternoon, when the weather is hot, the windows are opened some gaps for ventilation, because it is a long distance, in order to nourish the spirit, many people on the bus are drowsy.

Through the gap in the window, a stream of gentle wind penetrated into the car, blowing on Wang Ming's immature face, warm, looking at the scenery outside the window, Wang Ming's heart, but still turning rapidly.

In 2000, the Dongjiang River had just begun to enter a state of development, and it was also a key city in the province and even the entire southeast region.

"Snort."

The door was opened, and the conductor stood at the door, shouting the destination in a torn voice, and in the towns under the jurisdiction of such second-tier cities, before entering the national highway, most of the towns that passed through would stop for a while, so as to attract more customers.

Wang Ming lowered his head, his mind turned quickly, and at this moment, a girl in a light green robe, she had long black hair, a beautiful melon seed face, the pair of apricot eyes flashed brightly, when she boarded the car at this moment, her eyes looked behind, as if looking for a free seat,

Just as the girl dragged the suitcase and moved slowly towards the rear, her eyes lit up slightly, and then a youthful and beautiful smile appeared on her face.

"Hey, it's you."

And when Wang Ming recalled the bits and pieces of the development of the Dongjiang River in his mind, a crisp sound came, and then, a girl's unique fresh breath came to his face, and at the moment when Wang Ming was stunned, next to his seat, a girl in light green clothes, standing there at this time, a fresh and natural breath, made Wang Ming's spirit shocked.

"Is that you?"

The girl who appeared next to Wang Ming was Wang Xintong who almost collided at the entrance of Li Wujia Alley yesterday, today's Wang Xintong is dressed fresh and natural, with a light green thin shirt and a light blue tight jeans, the whole person stands there, giving people a quite refreshing feeling.

Seeing Wang Ming speak, Wang Xintong nodded, the apricot eyes on the melon seed's face were bright, and when he smiled lightly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat next to Wang Ming.

"Can I sit here?"

Wang Xintong pointed to the vacant seat beside Wang Ming, her beautiful apricot eyes blinked, the arrogant spirit on Li Xiong yesterday was gone, and there was a little expectation in her eyes when she looked at Wang Ming.

"Ahem... Feel free. ”

Being stared at by Wang Xintong, Wang Ming became a little unnatural, and then he coughed dryly and spoke.

"Thanks."

Stuffing the suitcase under the seat, Wang Xintong sat down on the side, reached out and took out the snacks from the small bag he was carrying, grabbed a handful, stretched out his slender white palm, and handed it to Wang Ming on the side.

"Thanks, I'm not interested in this."

Looking at Wang Xintong's behavior, Wang Ming was a little uncomfortable, but Wang Xintong on the side didn't seem to feel anything, and domineeringly stuffed the snacks in his hand directly into Wang Ming's hands.

"Where are you going?"

It seems that it is difficult to meet people you know on the long-distance bus, Wang Xintong is very talkative, at this time she is lively and cheerful, and she takes off the MP3 headphones on her ears.

"Oh, I'm going to work in Dongjiang."

Wang Ming replied softly, but his eyes were looking at the MP3 in the girl's hand.

In 2000, MP3 in China was not yet popular, and most of them were brought into the Chinese market from Japan and South Korea, not to mention the high price, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy, and Wang Xintong in front of him was the most popular one in the Korean market at that time.

Wang Ming's eyes looked at the MP3 in Wang Xintong's hand on the side, the valve of memory was opened, and faintly, the figure who always had a light smile couldn't help but churn from his mind.

That year, it was also such a scene, they met for the first time, and she was holding the same one in her hand, and the memories tumbling in her mind made Wang Ming smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Hey."

Looking at Wang Ming's somewhat obsessed look, Wang Xintong's expression was a little stunned, she looked at the MP3 in her hand, and then looked at Wang Ming, with a sly smile in her apricot eyes, and then, she handed the equipment and headphones in her hand to Wang Ming.

"Do you like to listen to songs?"

Seeing Wang Ming, who was a little stunned, Wang Xintong opened his mouth and asked, the girl's light voice pulled Wang Ming back to reality.

"Thank you."

Wang Ming looked at Wang Xintong in front of him with some embarrassment, said thank you, took it from the girl's hand, and the moment he put on the headphones, he turned sideways and replied in a low voice.

"It's okay, my destination is also the Dongjiang River, if you like it, you can listen to it."

Wang Xintong said very boldly, Wang Ming on the side also nodded, put on headphones, and turned it on with the end, a very popular song back then, Zhou Bingqian really missed you, and it echoed in his ears faintly.

Wang Ming closed his eyes slightly, and the whole person was silent in the beautiful melody, while Wang Xintong on the side was not fiddling with the snacks in the small bag, and occasionally when he looked at Wang Ming, there was a trace of indescribable feeling, floating in the girl's heart.

The days of being accompanied by people always pass quickly, at this time it is close to the afternoon, the car after a long journey, finally approaching the Dongjiang River, Wang Ming woke up from his slumber, looking at the outline of the familiar and unfamiliar huge city, and sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Dongjiang, I'm back."
