The village chief's daughter thought that life could go on like this forever, although it was simple and plain, but with him by her side, she had nothing else to ask for in this life.

can be like her parents to love and love for a lifetime, and in her opinion, she is really happy enough.

However, the kid next door thinks differently from her.

He told her that he wanted to see the outside world, and that he didn't want to stay here for the rest of his life, to live a mediocre life like the rest of the village, and in the end no one could remember when he was buried in the loess.

What she knew, he had been different from other children of his age since he was a child. He loves to read, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, he will tell her the stories in the book, she likes him so happy, and remembers every story he tells clearly.

However, she didn't know that he was ready to leave.

They had a big fight, the strictest quarrel in their lives.

Finally, he ended the argument with one sentence: I thought you were the one who could understand me, but I found out that I was wrong.

She finally stopped crying and quietly turned away. After this day, she learned to shed tears without making a sound.

The next day, he still came to apologize, and she forgave him naturally, and said with a smile that she thought about it for a night and felt that his decision was right, and she really loved him, so she wouldn't stop him.

He was ecstatic as she expected, hugged her and promised again that he would not marry in this life and this life.

She nestled quietly in his arms and smiled, thinking with tears in her eyes, that would be enough.

On the day he left, she came to see him off, and the package was the clothes she had made after staying up for days in a row.

He said, you have to wait for me, I will come back to marry you when I get ahead.

She smiled and nodded, saying yes.

He turned and departed. He left, never to look back.

She stood still and looked at his figure until it was gone; Until the sun sets, the moon rises on the branches; Until her tears dried silently.

He has ideals, ambitions, and an unwillingness to be ordinary.

She, but only him.

This year, he was nineteen years old, and she was still a month away from turning seventeen.

There is still a month left, and it is the day they get married.

She walked alone on the path home, and the moonlight stretched her figure long, long, thin, and lonely.

Looking at the shadow, she suddenly laughed, is it too long, if he gets married early, will he stay because of himself?

If she had just hugged him crying like she was a child and said what she really thought in her heart, would he stay?

Along the way, she thought about a lot of ifs, but what was the use of this, he was already gone, far, far away.

It wasn't until she saw her worried parents waiting at the door of the house that she realized that she had arrived home. Her parents didn't know about him leaving the village, and he didn't even tell his biological parents, because they said they didn't know about him, and if they did, they would have stopped him. She also helped him hide it.

But now, he's gone, already, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?

That night, under the oldest acacia tree in Sangxi Village, a sixteen-year-old girl cried bitterly in the arms of her nearly elderly parents until she fainted.

The kid next door left, taking with him the bright smiling face and moving singing voice of the village chief's daughter.

Although he said that he would come back, but what day was it?

The old village chief sighed to his wife under the acacia tree, he felt that it was all his own fault, because he wanted his daughter to stay at home for a longer time for selfishness, and delayed the days of marriage for too long. If they had been together for a long time and had children, the kid would have settled down because of the family, right?

The wife persuaded: He wants to get ahead, this is a good thing, he may have promised our daughter that he would come back, why are you bothering yourself?

The old village chief smiled bitterly: How can any of you women have a man who understands men better? If he saw the prosperity outside, how could he be willing to return to our small mountain village? Promise? After the moment of promise, the content can only be remembered by the person who was promised.

The daughter, who was sitting in the room, laughed slowly when she heard her father's undisguised words. She believed he was a man who did what he said.

She told herself so, and so she waited.

Day after day, the acacia opened and thanked, and she passed her seventeenth birthday, but he still did not return.

In a small mountain village like Sangxi Village, girls who have not yet married at the age of seventeen have hidden diseases except for those with extremely poor appearance conditions. The daughter of the village chief's family is neither, but she is still waiting to be written, and those who don't know will naturally have some malicious speculation.

Against all the voices of all colors, she celebrated her eighteenth birthday. Soon after, she finally received her first letter from him.

The letter said that he had already arrived in the national capital and had settled down, and that he planned to take the national examination, which was the fastest way for him to succeed, so he would stay in the national capital for a while.

He talks a lot about the outside world, about the like-minded friends he has met, and about his expectations for the future.

She looked at it with a smile until the end, and he said: I miss you, and you have to remember to miss me.

Her tears flowed down at once, and only the last sentence of the whole letter was his heart for her, but she was willing.

She knows how humble she is, but she knows that the other party also loves her, which makes her willing to do anything for him.

Another half a year passed, and she received a second letter.

He failed the national exam.

Her heart ached because of the contents of the letter, and although he said that he was okay and told her not to worry, she couldn't help but think that it would be good if she was by his side.

At the end of the letter, he didn't mention whether he missed her, but just swore that he would not give up, and that he would stay in the national capital and wait for another national exam after three years, and next time, he would definitely succeed.

That night, the village chief's daughter suffered from insomnia. With her dry eyes open, she looked at the acacia trees in the courtyard and sat in silence for the night.

The next day, she left a letter to her parents and set out on the road to the national capital alone.

She didn't know the sinister way of the world on the way to Sangqiao County on the way to Sangqiao County, and was forcibly pulled into the grove by a strange man who wanted to do that trick.

During the struggle, she grabbed the stone next to her and smashed it on the back of the man's head, and only then did she escape.

She is extremely intelligent, and this experience has brought her not only a fright, but also a warning.

In order to hide her appearance, she smeared the mud from the river on her face, ruffled her long hair, and ripped her clothes. It was not until the image was the same as that of a homeless wanderer that he continued to move forward with satisfaction.

But the national capital and Jiangcheng are so far away that in order to protect herself, she didn't dare to enter the crowd for help, so she could only walk slowly by herself.

When she was not enough, she went to the mountains to pick wild fruits. It's just that when she travels through the big city, she has to beg for a living, and occasionally encounters kind-hearted and generous donors, which will make her worry about starving to death for the next month.

If she continues like this, it will be three years later when she arrives in the national capital.

Thin, she blended into the city in the middle of the crowd, and looked at the endless crowd on the bustling streets, and there was a dreamlike feeling.

At that time, the triennial national examination had just ended, and today was the day when the results were released.

She stumbled along the flow of people, and from time to time she would be pushed into the corner with disgust.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted in the crowd, and a group of young men in Confucian robes and scarves were congratulating the middle man in unison.

The man had a mature and handsome face, a bright smile on his face, and responded appropriately to the sincere or flattering words of the people around him.

She looked up too, and through the slit in her messy hair, her eyes were fixed on the man.

It was the person she had been thinking about, the person she had been chasing for three years. He became mature, he looked better, he wasn't thin, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

She finally laughed happily, and she tried to call him, but lost her courage at the sight of her raised black hand.

How could she appear in front of him like this? She had to dress up nicely to meet him.

Thinking like this, she silently but happily withdrew from the crowd, she had to quickly find a place to clean...

But she was so tired that after three years of perseverance, she relaxed overnight, and she could no longer support it. After only a few steps, she fell down uncontrollably, and before closing her eyes, she was reminded of a pair of delicately embroidered shoes and a silver-trimmed skirt.
