Chapter 0052: A Lie
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely, and the mottled light and shadow fall on the benches by the campus flower beds.
The students are swaying to their heart's content, and they are working hard and struggling to be admitted to the ideal university and looking forward to a better future.
Ten years later, can they still remember how many sweet memories of their youth are hidden on today's campus?
Liu Jiayi stood on the balcony and thought a lot, ten years ago, she had been so carefree and happy in her youth, but the years were ruthlessly old, drowning each other's Chinese years.
"Jiayi, there is no suitable male teacher in your school? Why don't mom find someone to introduce you to one? You're not small anymore. ”
"Jiayi, what do you think of this Ye Jinsheng? His father is the deputy director of the Construction Bureau. ”
"Look at today, where is this Tang Yuming? His mother works at the Cultural Affairs Bureau. ”
"Jiayi, how was your chat with Huang Zhiqiu yesterday? His uncle works in the traffic control center. ”
In the past ten years, the mother has spent time on her daughter's lifelong events.
"Oh, Mom, don't mention it, I don't feel it."
In the past ten years, Liu Jiayi has used such a sentence to cope with her mother's arrangement.
Because of a promise, Liu Jiayi waited for ten years, she believes that if the relationship between the two is long, it will not become strange because of a long-term separation, however, ten years, Wu Feng has returned, not the imaginary return to his hometown.
"Xiaoliu, this Zhang Gongzi has been sending flowers for three months in a row, and he is very persistent, so don't you think about it?"
"I think Mr. Wang from the Chinese group seems to be good to you, a good person, how about it?"
Sister Zhong, as a person who has come over, seems to be very clear about the little things between men and women, and always inadvertently mentions the men around her in Liu Jiayi's ear.
It's just that Liu Jiayi is smiling and smiling, and she politely rejected those who want to get close to her, in her heart, she has already lived in a person, and she has lived for ten years, and she can no longer tolerate other irrelevant people.
However, ten years later, Wu Feng came back, and he no longer had the glory of a soldier, he was just a small security guard.
"I've been waiting for you for ten years, and you, can you change for me?"
Liu Jiayi made a small wish.
In this early summer dusk, the mountain peaks in the distance, the gradually falling sun, exudes the last colorful light of the day, infecting the entire campus.
Liu Jiayi's heart is crying and sad, this is not the result she wants.
"Koyanagi, what do you want? So distracted. Teacher Zhong finished sorting out the textbooks and walked out.
"Sister Zhong, what do I have in mind, just look at the sunset." As if someone had seen through her thoughts, Liu Jiayi's pretty face was slightly red, reflecting the light of the sunset, which made her even more shy.
"Tomorrow weekend, the class time is more relaxed, let's go, Xiaoliu, Sister Zhong invites you to dinner." Teacher Zhong did not break it, but changed the topic and said.
"Okay." Liu Jiayi said with a smile, holding Teacher Zhong's wrist, and the two walked towards the school gate.
Passing by the school gate, the security guards on duty had not yet changed shifts, and Wang Zhiqiang saw Teacher Zhong from a distance followed by a beautiful teacher, walking towards the school gate.
Wang Zhiqiang hurriedly opened the exit of the electric retractable door more widely, greeted with a smile, and said, "Teacher Zhong is going out." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Wang, haven't gotten off work yet? Teacher Zhong smiled back.
"A little while." Wang Zhiqiang said with a smile, but his attention was on the young female teacher next to Teacher Zhong.
Wang Zhiqiang was slightly strange, why did the young female teacher's eyes always keep looking into the duty booth?
"What? What to see? Teacher Zhong noticed Liu Jiayi's eyes and asked with a smile, "Look at your old classmate?" Friends? ”
"What's the matter, Sister Zhong, just make fun of me." Liu Jiayi hurriedly covered it up and said duplicitously, "Our relationship is not what you think." ”
Inside the sentry box, there was another young campus security guard, and there were no other security guards, Liu Jiayi glanced at it a few times in succession, until she walked out of the school gate, she didn't see Yu Wufeng's figure, for some reason, she was slightly disappointed in her heart.
I've been waiting for ten years, and I just met him at noon, why, and now I desperately want to see him again.
"Huh. Sister Zhong just said, let's go, let's eat. Teacher Zhong smiled and pulled Liu Jiayi out of the school gate, she was a person who came over, and did not expose Teacher Xiaoyanagi's lies, whether she was a classmate, a friend, or a lover, she only needed to wait.
……
The brilliance of the setting sun sprinkled on the backbone of the mountain behind Zhengjia Village, the village smoke rises everywhere, and the sky above the village is shrouded in a layer of hazy smoke, dusk unconsciously falls, tired birds return to their nests, and pedestrians return home.
Yu Wufeng was draped in the light of the last setting sun, opened the gate of the courtyard, the big yellow dog jumped around, warmly welcomed the late return of the master, the young master, walked slowly over, it stopped making noise, docile like a little sheep, the head kept on the master, rubbing around, coquettish and pampering.
Yu Wufeng comforted for a while, made a few gestures, and the big yellow dog understood a little, and honestly lay on the edge of the corner.
Mom was busy in the stove house, preparing dinner, Yu Wufeng went to the pool, washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the stove house to help.
Seeing her son come in, the mother seemed very happy, and while adding firewood to the stove, she turned over the dishes in the pot and said, "Xiaofeng is back, go and chat with your father." The dish will be fried in a while. ”
"Mom, I'll help you stir-fry first, and then I'll talk to Dad later." Yu Wufeng took the spatula from his mother's hand.
"Okay, Xiaofeng is in charge today."
The mother smiled, sat down, watched the fire in the stove, and let her son take the spoon on the stove.
Cooking in the countryside mainly relies on firewood as fuel, and a person has to take care of the fire and the dishes in the pot, so he is a little busy.
The son has been a soldier for ten years, and now he is back, his mother's face is full of a happy smile, and the fly in the ointment is that he still lacks a daughter-in-law.
When the meal was served, Dad took out two more wine glasses, and Yu Wufeng hurriedly went to the glass wine vat, added medicinal wine with a bucket, and brought it to the table.
"Did you go to see Erya today? Erya still knows your brother, when you went to join the army, she was only eight years old and was only in the second grade of elementary school. The mother helped her son with the dishes.
"You're so confused, how can you not recognize your brother, didn't Xiaofeng send a photo." The father interjected and said that the mother glanced at the father with disgust, but the father pretended not to see it, and indifferently reached out to drink and eat with a wine glass.
"Mom, I saw Erya, the girl has grown up, so much so that I almost didn't recognize her." Yu Wufeng said with some embarrassment.
He was indeed a little incompetent as an elder brother, and when he entered the army, he never returned home since the beginning of recruit training.
Later, there was no family leave, only a few times I sent photos back, all of which were photos that passed strict review, and I could make a phone call every year to report my safety, and the enlistment allowance would be remitted to my family's account on time every month.
"Hey, I don't know what kind of soldier you are, if you don't call, we can't find you, Er Ya went to junior high school, and said that he wrote a letter to his brother, and the photos he sent back, he didn't even have an address, and there was nowhere to send the letter."
My mother sighed and said with emotion, "Now that I'm back, it's okay not to eat the imperial grain, and the family is safe." ”
"Well, Mom, come, you eat vegetables too." Yu Wufeng added food for his mother, but he felt a little ashamed of his parents, he had been a soldier for ten years, ten years, and rarely accompanied his parents, and now although he is back, he still can't relax his training, and he has to be ready to accept the call of the military order at all times.
My father has great expectations for himself, looking forward to being able to mix in the army, but even if he enters the most powerful Fifth Army, he can't tell his parents about this, because this is a military secret involved, and even the position and rank are within the scope of the secret regulations, and externally, he can only be an ordinary soldier.
The father did not blame him for the discharge, but treated his son leniently, but now that he has quit his job as a security guard, will the father be more tolerant?
Yu Wufeng was very hesitant, from the moment he stepped off the minibus, until now, sitting at the dinner table to eat, he was thinking about how to explain to his father.
Lie?
In the past twenty-eight years, Yu Wufeng has never deceived his parents, telling lies, he can't do it.
Is it really telling the truth?
Yu Wufeng was thinking about how to explain it to his father, and at this time, his father put down the empty wine glass, looked at his son lovingly, and said.
"Xiaofeng, are you still used to the work of security guards?"
"Dad, I'm quitting." Yu Wufeng said.
"Smack!"
The chopsticks that my father had just picked up suddenly fell on the table, his face turned sideways, and he said angrily: "You, resign!" What do you want to do? After ten years as a soldier, I didn't even get a platoon commander, and I don't blame you for retiring when you say you retire. ”
"If you want to find a job in the county, you have been working for less than two days, and you will say that you will resign."
"After so many years, you say, did I say you were serious? Everything is up to you. ”
"Say, what the hell are you going to do?"
"Old man, don't be angry, you have something to say." The mother comforted the father, and hurriedly looked at the son again and said, "Xiaofeng, talk to your father well." ”
"Dad, I'm going to farm ......"
"Farming, what else do I want to tell you, agricultural and industrial officials, farming has a fart, which one do you think is still farming in the countryside? ……”
"Old man, what are you excited about, listen to your son's words." The mother encouraged her son to continue, "Listen to Xiaofeng's thoughts. ”
"Dad, my idea is to build a greenhouse while farming, and then do some agricultural and sideline products business, you see, the vegetables that people in the city eat now are all grown in greenhouses all year round."
Yu Wufeng said, "Dad, in one year, if I can't do anything, I'll go find a job and work hard." ”
"Xiaofeng, it's not that my mother said you, if you don't have a job, farming at home, and have no stable income, in the countryside now, it's not easy to say that your daughter-in-law is not coming, you are thirty in the blink of an eye."
The mother wiped the corners of her eyes, but the mother was still worried about her son's personal problems and always considered the daughter-in-law's priorities.
"Hey! You, you, you have to build a greenhouse, don't expect the family to have money to toss for you, that little savings is reserved for your marriage, and the tuition fee for Erya's college. The father had a kind of anger that hated iron and steel, but after all, it was his own son, and the father's hand trembled, and he looked very excited.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about money......"
Yu Wufeng made up his mind and decided to make up a lie to comfort his parents, "Dad, in fact, I didn't retire, I just left the army temporarily, and the active duty was transferred to the reserve, you can understand it as a vacation, I haven't been a soldier for ten years, my army is on vacation once in ten years." Mom, I'm not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm coming back so that it is convenient to solve personal problems. ”
"Then you don't need to farm at home, work in the county seat, work as a security guard, isn't it very good, and it won't delay you to find a daughter-in-law." Dad said.
The father has always been worried about his son's farming, he has been farming all his life, and he doesn't want his son to follow his own old path.
