Jiang Laiyue asked me this, I can't describe the mood at this time, but I must feel sorry for her, she is like a snail with tentacles, it seems to have a hard shell, but she can only use the keenest sense of touch to judge this unfriendly world.

I nodded seriously, calmly and calmly, because I knew that Jiang Laiyue may have been full of anger in the past, but this does not mean that now, because I am watching her change little by little.

"Three years ago, maybe you had just graduated at that time, so your family didn't tell you about it, and I was about to take charge of the Laiyue Group at that time, and I had a conflict with your father in the early days of my tenure."

"At that time, I was basically expanding my business in Qinghai, maybe my parents really hid me, but I'm really curious about what happened between you?"

"Isn't your dad a project manager for a renovation company? He led the construction team in the construction of Laiyue Plaza, there was a construction accident, it was indeed the responsibility of both parties, we have agreed on a compensation agreement, but the worker's condition suddenly deteriorated and passed away, your father took someone to Laiyue headquarters to ask for an explanation, the development trend of things is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, in a hurry, the company staff and workers clashed, your father in the process of pulling me, I was in a hurry to hit his forehead with a pen holder......"

"This is indeed the responsibility of both parties, maybe it is difficult for parents to let go of this matter!"

"I did something wrong, at that time we negotiated compensation of 1.5 million, but in the end it went to the judicial process, the court ruled that only more than 80 yuan in compensation, for this reason, the victim's family defected in the court, pointed to your father's nose and scolded him for being nosy, and afterwards your father found me, hoping that I could compensate according to the original price, and I refused, at that time I was not responsible for speaking and doing things, and rejected him with fierce words, so this result should make him guilty and angry, so I can't let go of it!"

"Whatever happens, it's all in the past, and if we always live in the past, how can we fulfill the present and the future?"

"That's what you think?"

I haven't seen Jiang Laiyue smile so easily for a long, long time, giving her a very approving look, in the extreme complexity of her emotions, she couldn't control it anymore, two strings of tears fell, and asked, "What about you?" Are you willing to put the present and the future on your own? ”

"I'll give myself another buffer time and wait for an uncertain future......"

"But I don't want to be a spare tire, love doesn't dare to love and hate, life is more aggrieved, I won't be a bloodsucker, I need to live attached to you, because my character has always been a bullet, if it's really just a passerby, through your chest, I won't stay for a moment......"

I changed my mood again, this mood is very complicated, but there must be sadness, although I have repeated this sadness a thousand times, but when I face Li Shi's question again, I am still sober in this sadness, maybe this is the only emotion in my life, I will never be sober and will not be numb.

Jiang Laiyue leaned on her shoulder and stopped making a sound, maybe she was hazy, but she couldn't really fall asleep, I didn't dare to sleep, because I was afraid that Jiang Laiyue would really fall asleep, she seemed to have more pain than me, so she fell asleep more easily.

She just leaned on my shoulder, breathing evenly and fell into a deep sleep, I carefully took out a cigarette point, looking at the sun gradually setting, so empty and lonely people in the loneliness and a little more thoughts, stay for a long time The mood will be affected, and when Jiang Laiyue wakes up, I will leave here.

"Wake up, it's time to go home." The cold air came up, and I was afraid that Jiang Laiyue would catch a cold for too long, so I pushed Jiang Laiyue beside me.

After a while, she finally opened her eyes dimly, looked at me, stared at me, and for a moment, the silence around me allowed me to hear her heartbeat, in the dim sunset, looking at her appearance, I fell into a blur, her beauty is an irresistible existence.

On the way home, I passed by the village where I used to live with Li Shi, but the house seemed to be abandoned when the situation was gone, so I went up to inquire and the principal and teacher in charge of the school received us, and he still stayed here.

I know that he came to Dashan to teach when he was young, and he has never been married in his life, and he has nowhere to go when he is old, because his heart has taken root here.

Jiang Laiyue carefully stroked the dilapidated window, while the principal took a small rag to wipe the cracked class clock, carefully revealing the desolation.

"Where did those kids go the last time we came?"

"The town said that there are not enough qualifications to run a school here, so let the children go to the town to study, go and go, except for the distance, the others are better than here, many children have gone to the city for miles, and they have a ......."

"Headmaster, what are your plans?"

"What can I plan, I can't do anything in my life except teaching, but now even if I break this bell, I can no longer see the crowded scene, and who knows that I have left this heart in this mountain......"

I sighed, once the best of the land was reserved for the school, but now the backward teaching facilities have gradually made this place lose its advantage, and you can see the lights in the distance, but it is as small as a street market in the sky......

……

When I got home, it was already dark, and my mother in the kitchen came out and reminded me that she had already heated the food again, and my father had gone out with the two children to hang out, so that we could hurry up and eat.

I know that my father has forgiven Jiang Laiyue in another way, but Jiang Laiyue signaled that she really doesn't have much appetite, and I know that she is still punishing herself, feeling that she doesn't deserve to eat these meals, at least since she chatted with me in the afternoon, she has been calling her "your father".

At this time, my grandmother came in with a plate, and the stainless steel basin was covered with steaming egg fried rice, and she heard that I was coming, and brought me egg fried rice.

I reminisced with my grandmother, signaled her to rest early, and went to see her tomorrow, and after sending her out, I divided the egg fried rice into two and motioned for Jiang Laiyue to eat.

Before I could take a few bites of rice, my mother suddenly shouted: "Why is there smoke on the other side, is there a fire?" ”

I stood at the door and looked, the smoke was with fire, sure enough, there was a fire, the wind was strong in the mountains, and most of the houses were made of loess, not to mention cracking, if the firewood and straw in the yard were burned out, it would be a difficult winter.

The people in the village quickly shouted, and the village, which had fallen into the night, suddenly became active, everyone went over to put out the fire, I asked my mother to get me a tool, and Jiang Laiyue signaled that she would go too.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are still not many people in the village, and most of them are elderly, and young people are settling down in the city.

Due to the preciousness of the water source, most of it is rainwater collected in the summer, and it is also very difficult to pick it up, and the difficulty of fighting has become much greater.

Jiang Laiyue and some elderly women from the same village helped to transfer the goods, she was never weak, and several times she rushed into the fire wearing wet sheets.

……

After more than half an hour, the fire was extinguished, Jiang Laiyue had been dazzled by the smoke and fire, her face was a little haggard, and her pretty face was full of exhaustion, such a busy night had overdrawn her physical strength.

Even though the items were burned, but the house and the items were finally saved, the owner of the house handed over cigarettes one by one to thank him, and learned that Jiang Laiyue and I had just arrived today, and even held our hands again and again......

The parents on the side looked at us, but they didn't interrupt, and went back directly with the tools.

Before leaving, the housekeeper suddenly held a few cooked potatoes and handed them to us, "This is back to you, and the ones piled up in the haystack are all cooked, so you can taste them." ”

Jiang Laiyue looked at the potatoes in my hand, didn't speak for a long time, and didn't reach out to pick them up, but bit her lip and looked at me, not knowing what she was thinking.

The owner's hand hung in the air at a loss, and after a moment of silence, as if he understood something, he stuffed the potatoes into Jiang Laiyue's hand, and said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, it's all home-grown, you helped us a lot tonight!" ”

Jiang Laiyue looked haggard and said softly, "Can I buy these potatoes myself?" ”

After saying this, Jiang Laiyue still bit her lip and looked at me with complicated eyes, I sighed softly, quickly understood what she meant, and helped her take the potatoes, while she quickly took out two hundred-yuan bills from her pocket, stuffed them into the hands of the house owner, and quickly pulled me away.

After walking for a while, the corners of my clothes were suddenly pulled by a great force, which made me unable to move forward, and when I looked back, Jiang Laiyue was holding me.

"What's wrong?" I didn't break free of her, I just turned my head and asked.

There were tears in her eyes, but she still refused to say a word, so she grabbed the corner of my clothes.

Seeing her appearance, I felt inexplicably sad, and I couldn't bear it, so I had to look at her like this, waiting for her to take the initiative to say something to me.

……

Time passed minute by minute, I quietly peeled off the skin of the potatoes and handed her the steaming potatoes, but she didn't want to, during this period, several people involved in the fire extinguishing walked past us and looked at us with curious eyes, but these did not make Jiang Laiyue let go of the hand holding the corner of my clothes, but she was always silent.

"Okay, let's go back......" I whispered to her.

Jiang Laiyue shook her head, she just refused to let go of me, this series of actions made it impossible for me to guess what she was thinking in her heart.

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to face your parents again when you go back?" I was afraid of irritating her emotions, so I shoved the potatoes into her hands, and my voice was a little softer than usual.

Jiang Laiyue stuffed me with the steaming potatoes in her hand again, then glanced at me, loosened the corner of my clothes, turned around and walked forward, until this moment she still did not say a word to me, at this moment her thoughts are like a vast ocean to me, bottomless.

I walked up to her quickly, stretched out my hand to stop her, and said, "Finish eating this potato while it's hot, I've eaten something delicious, I'll arrange for you to go to grandma's house to sleep tonight!" ”

After I finished speaking, Jiang Laiyue was stunned for a moment, and finally spoke: "Okay, you and your family haven't seen each other for a long time, and you definitely need to catch up tonight, so I won't bother you!" ”

After speaking, she carefully blew the dust off the potatoes, gathered her hair that was blown by the wind, picked up the potatoes and took a bite gently, another bite, it seemed that she was really hungry......
