Yu Shu took out a pair of half-new jeans from his suitcase and handed it to Jin Yan, Jin Yan took the jeans into the room, and held it in the room for half an hour, and then he wore it awkwardly. At this time, the mother of the tree had already made us Henan special noodles.

This is the first time we have eaten Lao Mian in our lives, I don't know if it was because of excessive hunger or because the Lao Mian was too delicious, in short, Jin Yan and I ate two whole plates for a while, which made the parents of the tree smile. Her mother was as simple as her father, and she was silent, and most of the time she smiled honestly, listening to the three of us young people talking nonsense.

We stayed at Tsuki's house, and before we knew it, three days had passed. No, without any communication equipment, we can't get in touch with anyone, I don't know if our family will be worried about us at this moment, whether they have called the police, whether they will miss us day and night, the melancholy feeling of homesickness gradually piled up in my heart, because I didn't want Jin Yan to see it, I hid in the corner and cried quietly.

It is true that my father's affection for me since I was a child, it is true that my mother is sick and bedridden all the year round and lacks care for us, and it is true that my sister often bullies me from childhood to adulthood with her cleverness, but Panjia Town is still the hometown where I was born and raised, and they are still my dearest relatives in the world.

In this small village in the Central Plains, where the land is barren, full of yellow mud, withered trees, and barren grass, I miss my hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, the Panjia River that trickles around Panjia Town, the rows of green bricks and green tile terraced houses, and the evergreen slopes and hills......

Jin Yan is also as uncomfortable as me, he often looks in the direction of his hometown in a daze, as if countless thoughts are circling in his mind. After leaving home, he became a little deeper.

An act of leaving us suddenly turned into a stranger who had left our homeland and had nothing, and this sudden change had a great impact on our hearts.

Although the family treated us very kindly, the ridicule and fingering of the people in the village made us sit on pins and needles, and everyone had all kinds of speculations about our arrival, and some people even thought that I was the daughter-in-law brought by the family from the southern city, which made us speechless.

Since returning home, he has been working in the fields with his parents every day, and Jin Yan and I have accompanied his sister Honghong to play at home. Honghong is still young, and her parents are busy with the fields all the year round and have no time to take her, resulting in her withdrawn personality, not liking to communicate with others, not understanding Mandarin, crying at every turn, and snot hanging on her face all year round. Every time she cried, Jin Yan was irritable. It's no wonder that when in his life has there ever been a child's cry?

A few days later, Jin Yan, who couldn't bear it anymore, said to me: "Ruhua, let's go, I'll go crazy if I stay for another day." ”

"Let's go now, how are we going to explain to Tsuki?" I asked.

"You write a letter to him, and I leave him 2,000 yuan, just because we thank their family for their kindness." He said.

"He won't ask for money if he gives him, do you see him ask for our money?"

"That's why I said that you should write a letter, and we will put the letter and money on the table, and then go first, otherwise if the tree knows, he will definitely not let us go, and he will definitely not ask for our money."

"But is it okay to say goodbye without saying goodbye?"

"That's why I told you to write a letter! How many times are you going to let me say that? It's stupid! He knocked me hard and impatiently.

After we had discussed, he brought me pen and paper, and I wrote a long letter to Kushu, signed the names of me and Jin Yan at the end of the letter, and then put the money and the letter in an envelope and pressed it under the TV.

I lied that I went to the nearby town with Jin Yan, and sent Honghong to Aunt Yushu's house, Jin Yan changed into the sweatpants I sewed for him, folded the jeans neatly and put them on the head of the bed, we looked around the house hand in hand, and the parting was imminent, I don't know why the two of us had red eyes at the same time.

I found out more and more that Jin Yan was actually a particularly emotional boy, and he was not as cold and ruthless as he once appeared. After a few days, although there were many discomforts to this place, all kinds of care from this family made us feel warm when we were wandering and rootless.

After a long time, Jin Yan coughed twice and said in a straight voice: "Let's go." ”

I nodded.

In this way, we left the house of the tree, said goodbye to this simple and enthusiastic boy, boarded the last train in their village, and arrived in City X before dark.

Jin Yan is a person who has no concept of money at all, and in the past, no matter where he went, he either swiped his card or someone paid for it, and he didn't need to pay for it himself. So when he left, there were a few bundles of cash in the safe, but he only took a small stack, and he didn't even count how much cash he carried.

Eating, drinking, and drinking along the way, plus the 2,000 yuan in cash left for Jian Shu before leaving, Jin Yan didn't have much cash left. Because he has always been used to spending lavishly, as soon as he arrived in X City, he took me to the most luxurious hotel in X City to open a room and take a sauna, so that the toss and the funds in our hands were seriously reduced overnight.

The next day, when we slept soundly on the luxurious double bed in the hotel, Jin Yan clicked on the cash in his hand after waking up, no more, no less, and 1,000 yuan. Money is running out, but we are completely confused about the future, where do we go next? What to do? What can we do?

"We can't stay in a hotel anymore, we're going to run out of food." I lay in Jin Yan's arms and muttered.

"It's okay, I'll figure out how to do it when I don't have any money." He still spoke in a bold tone.

"How do you think of a way? You can't turn to your father anymore unless we go back now. I said.

He shook his head resolutely: "No, definitely not going back." ”

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

"I'm finally free, and I don't want to go back. Besides, who knows what will happen when I go back, and he is not the only son of mine. After Jin Yan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became melancholy, as if he remembered many bad pasts.

"Then let's rent a house first, I asked today, it's not expensive to rent a house here, live first, and then I'll find a job, what do you think?" I said.

From the moment I chose to wander with him, I was actually prepared in my heart, and I understood how bumpy and difficult the path we had chosen, but I was not afraid.

"Then go and see tomorrow, you ask how much it costs to rent a luxury apartment for a month." Jin Yan said again.

"With our current funds, we may only be able to rent an ordinary single room. Jin Yan, you have to see the reality clearly. I saw that he still had the same attitude, and I immediately became anxious.

"What? How bad is that? How's that going to work? After a few days of living at the house, I already had a lot of small bumps on my body. His brow furrowed into a straight line, as if he was only now beginning to realize the problems of survival.

"If you can't stand this, then we'll go back." When I saw him like this, I immediately became discouraged. Although it is also difficult to live in H City, there are at least friends and family there, and it is not far from home, but it is only a three-hour drive.

"Don't go back! Okay, I promise you, just rent a house. He compromised again, but reluctantly covered his head with the quilt, and I knew he wasn't happy.

In this way, we stayed temporarily in X City, thousands of miles away from home, and after checking out of the hotel, we hastily rented a single room for 200 yuan a month, paid one for one, bought a lot of daily necessities, and when it got dark, we only had 200 yuan in cash left.

The weather in the north is still cold, so we only bought a thin quilt and mattress, and the two of us hugged each other tightly on the 1-meter-wide small bed, and we could still feel the cool air seeping through all corners of the quilt. The thought that from tomorrow onwards, we will be stretched thin in the following days, facing the crisis of hunger and cold, both of them panicked, and the initial sweetness and pleasure were all gone at this moment, replaced by a kind of panic from the heart. A wordless silence and despair loom over us, making us more and more reticent.

Two hours later. We still haven't slept. In this strange city, we had nothing but each other, and we didn't even have a change of clothes to replace us.

Outside the window, there was the sound of a group of young people driving motorcycles laughing after drinking and eating, and Jin Yan couldn't hold back his temper anymore: "Damn, this is a human life!" ”

"There are too many people in this world who are living in poverty, and you just haven't felt it before. Jin Yan, don't be sad. "I try to keep myself calm. I have endured more than he has endured, and the present embarrassment is bearable for me. The only thing I regret is that I didn't get my bank card out, otherwise the two of us wouldn't have had a hard time in the middle of the night.

"I can't even think I'm going to live like this! Pan Rushu, do you dare to think about it? I don't even know who the is now! He covered his face and couldn't help crying.

This was the first time I saw Jin Yan's tears, and the moment he cried in front of me, I suddenly realized that he was still an immature boy, he was far from growing up, and he had suffered too little, or maybe it was this powerless emotion that made him cry.

I took the initiative to hug him, he probably thought it was a shameful thing to cry in front of a girl, he pushed me away, sat up from the bed, turned his face away and didn't look at me, but I could see his shoulders shrugging from behind, and I knew that he still couldn't contain his emotions.

"I understand how you feel, I know it's hard for you to transition from that rich life to this kind of life, don't be sad, okay? I'm with you. I whispered comfort behind him, and the words I spoke were unconvincing to me.

Any comfort pales in the face of the fact that there is nothing to be done. At this moment, I realized it.

"Pan Rushu, do you regret it?" His tone was the same as before, this time with a thick nasal voice.

"What about you?" I cautiously asked him.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head firmly again, and said, "No regrets." I just don't know what to do next. I realized that I didn't look like a man at all, and I wasn't as brave as you. ”

"Because you're not as mature as I am, and you're not as experienced as I am."

"Fart!" The stubbornness in his heart came out again, and he said, "You don't look down on me!" ”

"I didn't look down on you."

"I already hear that! It's okay, if you don't want to follow me, you can go! ”

"Where am I going?"

"Go back, go back and be your waiter!"

"Then why don't you go back and be your eldest young master?"

"I don't want to."

"Then I don't want to."

"And what do you want?"

"I want to sleep and go to work tomorrow. It's okay, Jin Yan, I can afford to support you. When this sentence popped out of my mouth, I felt as if I had grown a little more in an instant.

At that moment, I was like a fledgling chick, instinctively shaking off my wings to shelter the fledgling that seemed weaker and more in need of care, which was an instinct of love.

"Who the wants you to raise!" He suddenly roared with a lion, his face instantly turned red, and his muscles were exposed, as if my words were a great humiliation to him.
