"You're here."

"Well, here we are. It's a little cold today, so let's have something to drink first. ”

Greeting softly, Jiang Qiao handed over a cup of milk tea.

Facing the river, both of them looked at the open fields in the distance, silent to each other, as if they were both brewing what they wanted to say next.

At this time, there was silence all around, and only the sound of the wind whining could be heard.

The wind kept blowing and blowing so hard that it made the waves on the river sparkle, the trees on the street swaying, and the iron-gray sky as if it were about to fall.

Han Yao looked at the tall and thin boy in his early twenties, with half-rimmed glasses, who was very handsome, and his heart was very complicated.

Doubts, moved, envious, worshipped....... maybe there is a faint heartbeat.

But in the end, she suddenly retracted the little liking that had accidentally spilled out of the cup.

After graduating from junior high school, Han Yao went to a coastal city to make a living and experienced a very failed relationship.

Nowadays, I am just a migrant worker with no way to find a job, a worrying life, and only a junior high school education. Jiang Qiao, on the other hand, is a graduate of a key university that is praised by everyone and has a bright future in the future.

Even if it was only through the thin letter paper, she could feel the thousands of mountains and rivers between her and Jiang Qiao.

However, Han Yao still smiled tremblingly.

It's been a long time since I've been so sincere.

This feeling is like when she first met Jiang Qiao eight years ago.

In those days, Han Yao went back to her hometown to visit her grandmother, and the children in her hometown were bored and often got together to chat and watch TV.

It was at that time that Han Yao met Jiang Qiao, although they only got along for a few days, although Jiang Qiao and Han Yao didn't say much, and there were no stories worth missing, but Han Yao's youth and beauty and generosity were deeply reflected in Jiang Qiao's mind.

"I'm sorry I made you see a joke last night and threw up all over you."

"It's okay."

"I ...... Isn't it useless? ”

"Why do you say that?"

The conversation between the two was very abrupt, and it was obvious that they didn't let go much. But Han Yao wanted to take the initiative, and at this moment, she was still roaring in her heart.

"Okay, why do you look down on yourself?"

"I'm 22 years old, and I came from an ordinary rural family, but I dropped out of school for eight years.

In the past eight years, I have worked in a garment factory, learned to barber, opened an online store, and worked as a small brick-and-mortar store...... Over the years, I have been unwilling to be ordinary, but I have always been inactive.

Now that my parents are getting old, I am at the age of getting married......

In fact, I know that they force me to go on a blind date every day, not because they really hate me for gnawing at the old, but because they feel sorry for me, and they don't want to see their daughter working alone anymore, and they want to find me a support as soon as possible.

It's just that.......

It's just that they don't understand me.

I've always been unwilling to settle for the status quo, and even if I fall in love with a boy, I don't think I deserve love.

can't even give the life he wants, how can he love the future him? You also know that many rural girls live the kind of muddy life, arguing and bargaining......

When I went home this year, I saw my father's gray hair under 50, and I really didn't feel good.

Seeing them talking and laughing with relatives and friends at various banquets, for a moment, tears fell down uncontrollably.

Now I am still confused, lively and cheerful since I was a child, but I have gradually become introverted, inferior, and have few friends around me. Open the address book and chat software, but you can't find a person to talk to.

So sometimes, I really want to find a stranger to talk about the helplessness of my age. ”

As Han Yao spoke, tears came unconsciously, and crystal tears crossed her cheeks without making any sound. She took a deep sip of milk tea, like drinking a bottle of liquor in one go, and continued:

"You know, my dad sprained my back when I was studying, and my mom had a stomach problem all the time, and there really wasn't much I could do.

When I was a child, I was always tired of school, always naughty and mischievous, and when I grew up, I really knew that it was not easy for my parents!

My father left my hometown to support me and my younger brother when I was five years old, and when he finally returned to his hometown......

I also started to stay away from home!

Growing up, we just rubbed shoulders and hugged each other, and then waved goodbye, almost nothing in common.

Although he always complains about me, and I always annoy him, God knows how much I care about him in my heart!

When I was a child, I always lied to my parents that I had no money, and now I always lie to my parents that I still have money.

In the past, when I bought something out and came home, I always quoted the price very high to my parents; Nowadays, even if you buy something that is expensive, you always tell them that the price is very low.

When I was a child, I cried in front of my parents when I was a little unhappy; No matter how much I have been wronged now, no one wants to say anything, I always think of a way to keep smiling in front of them......"

Han Yao didn't know why she said this, and still treated Jiang Qiao as a stranger to confide in like she did in the park last night.

Jiang Qiao listened carefully and didn't say a word.

And he knew what she was trying to say.

Because her tears are so clean and pure.

Now, he has long lost his feelings for Han Yao, but he still retains the original beauty in his mind. He already knew in his heart that what Han Yao lacked was not just money.

"Han Yao ......"

"Huh?"

"You...... Are you always so unhappy? ”

Jiang Qiao originally wanted to say, if he is so young and doesn't work hard, why do he always think about failure, thinking about the helplessness of wanting to raise his son but not waiting for him, there is still a long way to go.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

"I'm sorry, there is a gap between us. Maybe that's what you're talking about. That's all I can say to you. ”

Gap?

Jiang Qiao smiled, "What do you want to say about the gap between junior high school and university?" Working part-time and sitting in an office? ”

"Isn't it?"

"If we have to say that, then we really don't have that much difference."

"Huh?"

"I dropped out of school in my sophomore year. Like you, you don't have any diplomas. Jiang Qiao said a little relaxed.

"Drop out?" Han Yao was shocked and puzzled, seeing Jiang Qiao's somewhat helpless appearance, she was even more puzzled in her heart, "I have long heard that you are a scholar, how can you drop out of school?" Why did you drop out of school? Is it to start a business? ”

Jiang Qiao's forehead wrinkled slightly, he really didn't know how to explain it to Han Yao. If you really want to say it, it is another bloody and long story.

"This ...... I can't tell. Han Yao, in fact, I asked you out today to ask you one thing, that is, I don't know if you are willing? ”

"Say it."

"Would you like to re-study?"

What the?!

"What do you ..... you say......"

Study?

Han Yao was stunned for a moment.

She originally thought that Jiang Qiao would introduce her to a slightly decent job to relieve the pressure of her current life, but she never expected that it would be such a suggestion.

"You...... You're not kidding, are you? I'm 22 years old, graduated from junior high school, and dropped out of school for eight years...... Now back in school? Han Yao's face was full of incredulity.

"It's not going back to school, it's in an Internet café."

"Internet cafes? Reading in an internet café? Jiang Qiao, you ......"

"If you want, I will help you review the textbooks of junior high school, and then teach you the knowledge of high school, and when the time comes, we will go to the college entrance examination together.

I now work at an internet café in the main city. Recently, the Internet café recruited a female front desk, you can come directly. Although the salary of this job is not high, it is relatively leisurely and convenient for you to study. ”

"This ...... I ......"

"What? You don't want to? ”

"No, it's not."

"Then what are you hesitating about, is it so difficult to read?"

"No, it's not. I do! I do! I really do! ”

Han Yao was a little excited, afraid that Jiang Qiao would misunderstand, so he said three times in a row, I am willing.

She quickly wiped away her tears, like a little girl who suddenly lost candy and was at a loss, and said with tears and laughter:

"I'm willing to re-study, I'm willing to take the college entrance examination, as long as you're willing to teach, I'm willing to learn. I was just...... I'm just afraid that I won't be able to learn well, and I'm afraid that I'll give up halfway through and let you see my jokes. ”

Jiang Qiao handed over a tissue, still smiling softly, "You have survived so many years of hardship, and you are still afraid that you will not be able to learn a few broken books?" ”

"Broken books? You're a top student, of course you look down on those broken books. When I was a child, I was not afraid to drive an excavator, but I was afraid of reading. ”

"Haha......"

The two laughed happily. Han Yao sucked the milk tea vigorously, she originally thought she was very strong, but she didn't expect to let Jiang Qiao see the joke.

The gray clouds gradually dispersed, and the sunlight passed through the leaves, hitting Han Yao's face, like dense pine needles, pricking her hot and painful. The dried tear stains are extraordinarily crystalline.

Not far away, an old man is pushing three wheels of manpower and is leisurely selling tofu brains.

The voice was familiar, very pyrotechnic.

Han Yao remembered that old man, when he was a child, when he was a child, he felt that it was not easy, and he often bought and ate.

"Little girl, come to a bowl of tofu brain?"

"No, uncle, I don't like to eat tofu brain."

"Let's have a bowl. Uncle doesn't take your money. If you have a boyfriend, you will be blessed by your uncle. ”

"This ......" Han Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Uncle, are you...... Do you know me? ”

"Even if I don't know you, don't you remember the mole next to your left eye? You haven't taken care of your uncle's business for eight or nine years. ”

"Original...... It turns out that Uncle has always remembered me. Han Yao touched the mole next to her left eye and was very surprised.

"Why don't you remember, at that time at the gate of the middle school in the town, every time your mother scolded you, she pointed at me and said, I saw that the old man didn't, he didn't study well now, and he would be like him in the future, and he could only ride a broken three wheels to sell tofu brains."

“…….”

Jiang Qiao laughed out loud, and Han Yao was embarrassed, and said straightly: "Uncle, you ...... You have a really good memory. ”

"Isn't it?" The uncle handed over two bowls of tofu brain, and said, "Little girl, your mother is right, if you don't study well, you have to do these jobs." So, you have to work hard, and you have to come back to take care of your uncle's business when you develop in the future. ”

“…….”

"Okay, uncle, but, don't you feel tired after selling tofu brains for so many years?"

"Tired! How not to get tired? Begging for life, which industry is not tired? Then you won't be tired if you sit in the office? Isn't it tiring to be the CEO? Look at the noodle sellers, barbecue makers, hairdressers, and shoe repairers on the street...... Can these people who get up early and work from 9 to 5 not get tired?

Little girl, you are still young, if everyone wants to live an easy life, then the big guy will not be able to live? ”

"That's the truth, but ......"

"But what is it, tired and tired, but this is something that goes deep into the bones, so I don't feel tired."

……

The uncle chattered a few words and left, while Han Yao watched for a while.

She originally felt sorry for the uncle and wanted to care about him, but she didn't want to, the uncle understood much better than her.

Smelling the sound of the uncle's distant selling, looking around, the owners of the stores on the street are still busy, although they look very tired, but in this busy figure, they are full of enthusiasm to work hard:

It turned out that he was just missing something that went deep into his bones to pay.

She looked at Jiang Qiao, both puzzled and expectant, will this matter be to study again and take the college entrance examination?

"That's it for today. I went first. Tomorrow I'll go back to my hometown to see my sister, and then I'll go back to the main town. We'll call you when the time comes. ”

"Wait."

"Are you okay?"

"You ......"

"If you have something, why do you talk about it?"

"Would you like to stay with me again?"

"With you?"

"Hmm. I'm very happy today and want to clean up my mood. Come with me to the Internet café and take me to play a few league games? ”

"You also play League of Legends?" Jiang Qiao was a little surprised, "That's good." Still....... how do you know I'm playing League? ”

"Cut, you work in an internet café, how can you not play the league? And the limited edition [King Trooper] S9 battle uniform on you is not available to everyone. ”

"This ...... That's right. ”

Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked towards an Internet café at the end of the street.

And Han Yao followed closely behind, smiling lightly and imagining Jiang Qiao's game level. She suddenly invited him to play a game with her, because she really wanted to get to know him.

Jiang Qiao's letter almost wrote her thoroughly, but she didn't know anything about Jiang Qiao.

At this moment, the warm sunlight shone on Jiang Qiao's back, and she saw him like a giant, and the houses around him became very small.

It's just that she didn't notice that when she mentioned the King Clan, Jiang Qiao's face showed a trace of imperceptible bitterness.
