Chapter Ninety-Four
Just when Wei Bicheng saw the two crystal clear tears that fell on Yue Hongxia's mouth, Wei Bicheng immediately made a decisive decision in his heart that he would not go home this Spring Festival.
At this time, there is only one week left before the Spring Festival. And Li Zhengyi and Qin Huijuan, who are in T City Cancer Hospital, are now fully prepared to be discharged home. In order to avoid people's eyes, they carefully designed the route and process of going home this time, just like smuggling, in order to choose the departure and arrival time at night, they did not choose to make a plane, but bought a train sleeper ticket with the help of the hospital. The purpose of this is because Li Zhengyi is afraid of being seen by acquaintances, because this time point is the peak period when people in other towns are going home for the New Year, and he can't say where he will meet his fellow villagers or friends, so Li Zhengyi does not dare to go to the toilet easily on the train, and he is worried and cautious all the way.
Because it was the train in the early morning, after completing the discharge procedures, Li Zhengyi and Qin Huijuan had to wait here for nearly ten hours before they could go to the train station. During this time, the two of them could only remain in the ward, and although they had been discharged from the hospital, the hospital still gave them a special care and allowed them to continue to stay here.
"Zheng Yi, do you guarantee that you won't meet acquaintances at night?" When she came out of the hospital to go to the train station, Qin Huijuan asked.
"There is also this possibility, but the probability is still smaller than during the day." Li Zhengyi said as he took out several light blue masks from one of his pockets, and saw that they were for the medical staff in the hospital.
"Zheng Yi, you can figure this out." Qin Huijuan said in surprise.
Li Zhengyi smiled weirdly, then left one for himself and handed it to Qin Huijuan, and stuffed it into his pocket after the rain.
"There are several of them that the experts want, and we can use them all the way. Bringing this with you makes it easy for others to recognize us. Speaking of this, Li Zhengyi hugged Qin Huijuan and said apologetically:
"I've wronged you, Huijuan."
Li Zhengyi knew that his plan of this night march made Qin Huijuan very dissatisfied, don't look at what she didn't say, in her heart, she wanted to make this relationship between them known to the world, not to mention, through such a way that was almost a romantic trip. Hearing Li Zhengyi say this, Qin Huijuan smiled, kissed Li Zhengyi on the face unexpectedly, and said:
"Why do you say that, everyone is yours and you are still saying this."
It is not an exaggeration to say that the railway station of T city is a sea of people, the crowded flow of people will be a huge platform is stuffed with water, and every step must be put into a lot of effort, if it is not for the hospital and the station to communicate and give them special help, I am afraid that getting on the train is a problem.
Before, when making this itinerary plan, Qin Huijuan had always insisted on sending Li Zhengyi to her home in person, but Li Zhengyi resolutely disagreed. Because Li Zhengyi's illness is still hiding from his parents, he doesn't want to suddenly bring a girl back in this situation, how can he tell his parents that he hasn't thought about it yet. What's more, Qin Huijuan's open-door mouth may accidentally tell her about her illness at any time, which will bring a big blow to her parents' hearts. He thought about it again and again, but decided not to let Qin Huijuan send him home, and waited for fifteen years to say. He knew that Qin Huijuan was taking the opportunity to go to his home to meet his parents.
Now in Li Zhengyi's heart, Qin Huijuan is his fiancée, although Qin Huijuan's character is not very acceptable to him, but after two months of life and death, in the depths of Li Zhengyi's thoughts, it seems that he also has a certain dependence on Qin Huijuan, as long as Qin Huijuan leaves his side, he will feel that something is missing, which makes him a little uncertain. Li Zhengyi is still half-skeptical about his physical condition, but as soon as he sees Qin Huijuan's calm and comfortable demeanor, he will feel very down-to-earth in his heart, and he feels that he is really better, it can be said that some of the words that Qin Huijuan is saying now are more important to Li Zhengyi than the words of doctors and experts. He had already thought about it, as long as his body was really fine, he would definitely marry Qin Huijuan as his wife, as for Yao Xinli, it had become more and more faint in his memory now, their love was originally very dull, and there was no vigorous scene and experience, the short process now thought about it like a routine, and there was nothing worth him to recall.
After this serious illness of life and death, from negative giving up to reawakening hope, such a natural transformation process has made Li Zhengyi have a certain change in some of his understanding and views on life, this is a subtle change, this change is not felt by Li Zhengyi, this change will directly lead to a change in his personality, he is no longer so indifferent, nor is he such a serious face that is difficult to approach, although it has not yet reached the casual character of others, At least she has become very approachable in front of Qin Huijuan.
"Zheng Yi, are you reluctant to let me go to your house, are you afraid that I will embarrass you, are you afraid that your parents will not like me, or you can't forget Yao Xinli at all." Qin Huijuan asked a little angrily and a little aggrieved.
"Huijuan, don't your thoughts be so complicated, don't think nonsense, some things can't be too anxious, I suddenly brought you back without telling my parents anything, it's inappropriate to do this, it's disrespectful to my parents, Huijuan, do you think it's not like this."
"What's complicated about me, I just don't worry about you when I send you home, you still have to take medicine when you go home, don't I walk with you, it's like I'm relying on you." Qin Huijuan deliberately pretended to be angry and said, in fact, she didn't have too many plans in her heart, Li Zhengyi's attitude towards her today had completely exceeded her expectations.
"I also said, your body is now better, if there is no problem in half a year, I will take the initiative to leave you, you can choose your life again, what I do now is what I am willing, you don't have any burden, don't say anything, I just listen to you." Qin Huijuan continued to say deliberately.
Li Zhengyi didn't know that this was Qin Huijuan's intention, and thought that Qin Huijuan was really sad and angry, and saw Qin Huijuan tilting her head to tidy up her false eyelashes, and thought she was wiping her tears, and her heart couldn't help but surge, and she took Qin Huijuan in her arms at once, and said in a very gentle tone while wiping her tears with her hands:
"Huijuan, when you come to my house after fifteen, I will introduce you to your parents generously, you are their daughter-in-law, I tell them that I will rely on you to support me in this life."
Qin Huijuan smiled all of a sudden, laughing very happily, and immediately hugged Li Zhengyi's neck and kept kissing him on the face.
After two days and one night, the train finally stopped at the small county town where Li Zhengyi and his family lived. Although it has only been two months since he left here, it seems like a century has passed in Li Zhengyi's heart, and he once thought that he would never return to this homeland, but now his feet and legs are so real and solid to stand on this land again.
Standing on the platform, Li Zhengyi and Qin Huijuan did not immediately walk out of the ticket gate with the flow of people, they were still afraid of being recognized by others, before getting off the train, Li Zhengyi wanted to say to Qin Huijuan that the two of them would act separately after getting off the train, so as not to be recognized, but this idea did not come out of Li Zhengyi's mouth in the end, and he was afraid that it would really hurt Qin Huijuan's heart.
"What's the matter with you two, what are you doing standing here without leaving the platform in the middle of the night, the ticket gate is waiting for the two of you." The officers on duty at the station shouted at the two of them in a bad voice.
"Let's go, the people are gone." Qin Huijuan dragged Li Zhengyi, and the two of them hurriedly walked towards the exit of the station.
Although it has not yet entered the New Year, and the solar term is still counting nine, the temperature this year is obviously much higher than in previous years, and in the dim light, you can still see some melted snow on both sides of the road like inverted jagged teeth, jagged bare black stains, and wearing thick down jackets at night, people don't feel any cold at all. The small pre-war square was already empty at this time, and the taxi would never have imagined that there would be people on the platform at this time. The night in the small county town also followed into the silence of the night after the bus train sent from the provincial capital. Taxis were scarce at this time, and most of the buddies went home to rest after taking the last passenger, and only a few night buses were still confined to the downtown area.
"What to do, come home with me, and leave early tomorrow morning, and take a look at your father-in-law and mother-in-law by the way." Looking at Li Zhengyi's eyes full of fear, Qin Huijuan deliberately joked when she wanted to relax his mood.
"Now is not the time, come back in fifteen, there will be a car in a moment." Li Zhengyi didn't feel any funny because of Qin Huijuan's words, and said very nervously in his heart, as long as he didn't leave here for a moment, his mood couldn't relax, just like the underground workers back then, he was always vigilant lest someone would recognize them at this time.
"Zheng Yi, don't be so nervous, okay, there will be people coming out at this time, even if someone comes over, they won't recognize us, you see we are all wearing masks." Qin Huijuan comforted Li Zhengyi and said.
"I'm nervous." Li Zhengyi argued.
"Huijuan, go home first, don't stay here with me." Li Zhengyi said again.
"No, it won't." Qin Huijuan replied decisively.
While the two were talking, a taxi came over, and Qin Huijuan hurriedly waved the car over. As soon as Li Zheng opened the car door, he was about to go up.
"What are you in a hurry, be careful not to touch it, and don't forget to call me when you get home." After Li Zhengyi got into the taxi, Qin Huijuan stood outside the car door and said a reminder.
Li Zhengyi didn't hear Qin Huijuan's words, waved his hand and didn't say anything, then closed the car door and told the driver to drive away without asking the price.
Qin Huijuan stood in place, watching the taxi that Li Zhengyi was sitting in completely disappear into the night, and then began to walk home, suddenly, an inexplicable sadness surged into her heart, and tears flowed out unconsciously. If these two months are a process of life and death for Li Zhengyi, then for Qin Huijuan, it is an experience of joyful and sad life, too many big feelings she has never had a serious experience before, at this moment when she is about to return home, all kinds of feelings will come up at once, and the tears that burst out of her eyes are mixed with too many grievances and joys, at this moment, in this hazy cold night, she doesn't know if all this is worth it.
Qin Huijuan's home is not very far from the train station, this is the only few bungalows in the county, compared to the building area not far away, this seems to be a civilian area. Because the distance was not far, Qin Huijuan was not in a hurry, and walked slowly in the direction of her house like a leisurely stroll. There are only two months, and this small county town that has lived for more than 20 years has made her feel strange tonight, as if she is a foreigner, and she has no sense of home. When she walked to the bungalow where she lived, she suddenly thought of how to tell her mother all this, whether she would continue to hide it from her family when she accompanied Li Zhengyi's illness, what would the family say when she said it, and would her mother understand and support her approach. Not to mention, when you have to go to work after the Spring Festival, how to tell your family about being dismissed by the unit. She already knew from Li Zhengyi's phone call with the county leader, because she was seriously super fake, and the county personnel bureau had decided to remove her.
Although Li Zhengyi didn't say anything to her, as far as his personality is concerned, Li Zhengyi will never go to the leader to intercede and keep her because of this, and it is even more impossible to tell the county leaders the truth about his leave for the reason of caring for him.
Qin Huijuan hadn't thought about this question before, but every time she thought that Li Zhengyi had acquiesced to her fiancée's identity, it made her feel that everything she had done was worth it. It doesn't matter if she works or not, in other words, when she decided to take care of Li Zhengyi, she didn't expect that her fake identity would be recognized by Li Zhengyi, nor did she expect that Li Zhengyi's cancer would have such a miracle happen in a few days, when she accompanied Li Zhengyi out of the hospital, when she couldn't help but put her arm into Li Zhengyi's elbow socket, that sense of happiness had already washed away the result of being removed.
Now with Li Zhengyi's departure from her side, as her footsteps are more and more in front of her house, her mood has become complicated and heavy again, making her feel a kind of difficulty after seeing her parents, because she doesn't know if Li Zhengyi's thinking will change in the period before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which makes her not feel a little worried about her future.
