Chapter 1: Leaving Home and Heading South
When she got home, her father saw her and said nothing.
Everything seems to be calm again.
A week later, my father said, "Your third aunt and your little aunt have come to Hunan and are now at your uncle's house." You go over and accompany you.
"No, no." The third aunt and the little aunt both belong to the pungent and bold character, dare to do and speak, go by yourself, and don't know how they will be ridiculed.
The third aunt's daughter, that is, the cousin who wrote the wrong postcard, was in the same class as herself, and was admitted to Central China Normal University in the new year, and the third aunt was very embarrassed in front of her relatives, and her cousin was an ethnic minority, and she was admitted 20 points lower than the score line when admitted, and she was admitted for this reason. After the college entrance examination, the two of them are busy with their own work, no longer communicate, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road.
"Your aunt is always talking about you, they come all the way over, and they should also go to see it in terms of etiquette, your family is educated, should you go?" , his father will Li Xiao's army.
"Just go."
Li Xiao put on the skirt her father bought for her, took a change of clothes and took a ride to her uncle's house.
"Hahaha" Before I entered the door, I heard a hearty laugh coming out.
Li Xiao knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside.
The third aunt's broad and stout face appeared in front of Li Xiao.
"Li Xiao is here."
"Hello third aunt."
"Hello auntie." Li Xiao saw the third aunt and greeted the little aunt who came over.
"Oh, Li Xiao, I've grown into a big girl." The little aunt said to Li Xiao.
After a pleasant greeting, the uncle said, "You came just in time, your third aunt and little aunt are going to go outside, you can lead the way and accompany you." ”
"Me?" Li Xiao felt a little incredible. I'm not from the county, so it stands to reason that my cousin should be the most familiar with this place, and she is the most suitable escort, how did I get into it.
"Your cousin is going to take the exam, and I don't have time for the past few days, so I called your dad and asked you to come over." Uncle explained.
Oh, I see. Li Xiao knew that he had never been unwilling to see his uncle, how could he take the initiative to ask her to come over.
There are also no famous attractions in the county, nothing more than parks and towers.
Li Xiao decided to take them to the park first, although the park is not big, but the attraction is the artificial lake.
Walking to the park, Li smiled and said that we would go for a walk by the lake. The third aunt and the little aunt said yes.
The last time I came was in the evening, Liu Qiangjun brought her here, and some people comforted and some healed. This time I came to accompany me, and I also needed to be comforted by the same injury, but the comforting person was no longer around, and I had no time to heal painfully and had to force a smile to accompany others.
As you wind down the concrete steps, you will see a lake, and you will be able to reach it directly, but the road leads to one end of the lake, and you will reach the lake with a 180-degree roundabout at the end.
Last time it was at night, I didn't observe the surrounding environment much, but this time it was during the day that I found out that this park had a cave, no wonder Liu Qiangjun chose to bring her here.
The artificial lake is east-west, with the lake opening in the east and the lake shrinking to the west, narrowing and finally becoming shallower and narrower until it merges with the surrounding mountains.
First lead them to a pavilion. Although it is scorching heat, the place is cool and refreshing. After resting here for a while, for the third aunt and the little aunt who are obese and afraid of heat, such a place is undoubtedly a treasure of feng shui.
"There is such a place in Jinning, it's so beautiful." The third aunt began to sigh.
"It's okay, I also brought it from a friend, so I just found out."
"Well, Li smiled well."
chatted while walking, and then pulled on to the college entrance examination.
"My family Xiangxiang is graduating from college next year, you seem to be in the same class as her." The third aunt really can't open any pot and mention which pot.
"Yes."
"Are there any plans? Do you want to continue? ”
"Nope."
"So what are you going to do?" The third aunt asked.
"If you can't study, let's go raise pigs." The little aunt joked.
Li Xiao instantly lowered his head. Poked into the heart again.
"The road in the world is not only to study, you see that we haven't read any books, and we don't live a good life yet, and if we find a good man to marry in the future, life will naturally get better and better." The little aunt enlightened.
"Married". Li Xiao never thought about these two words, when she was in high school, she often saw her parents quarreling over firewood, rice, oil and salt, and she was very depressed, she was not interested in marriage.
"In recent years, the coastal areas of Guangdong have developed rapidly, and many people have gone there to work, and some mainlanders have also made a fortune there. Li Xiao, if you go to break through, maybe you can also make a name for yourself. The third aunt puffed.
"I don't know anyone, I don't know who to look for." Li smiled and said decimoredly. In fact, I also have a longing for the outside in my heart, except for the time when I was 8 years old when I crossed most of China from Xinjiang to return to my hometown, I never went out again, and all my knowledge basically came from books.
"Isn't that little shunzi in Guangdong?" The third aunt said.
"Little Shunzi is?"
"The son of your grandfather's distant cousin, you have to call uncle according to your generation." "Oh."
This cousin named Xiao Shunzi seems to have seen it when he was a child, but his memory is already very vague.
"Your uncle should have his contact details. He was also not admitted to university, and went to Guangdong to work, and it is said that he mixed well, and the boss appreciated him very much. The third aunt added.
"Hmm."
is also a loser, Li Xiao instantly had the feeling of "why should we have known each other when we meet, we are both fallen people at the end of the world".
This way doesn't work, try it other way. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, so there is always one for you. Li Xiao thought to himself.
In the next few days, Li Xiao was still the escort. Amusement park, humanities tower, tank farm, Tangqian reservoir, etc. Li Xiao also took this opportunity to visit places that he had not been to before, and at the same time had to endure some ridicule from them for him from time to time.
After sending off the third aunt and the little aunt, Li Xiao let out a long sigh and finally left. Sometimes the applause is not an endorsement, but a celebration that is finally over. Just like Li Xiao's long sigh at the moment.
I asked my uncle for the cousin's contact information and address, and I went home.
When I got home, I told my father that I wanted to go out to work. Her father also felt that it was more practical to go to college than to make some money, so he agreed to her request, on the condition that he send her there himself.
If the quarrel with his father was the fuse for Li Xiao to leave home, and the words of his aunt and grandmother were the catalyst for Li Xiao to leave home, then the words of the third aunt and the little aunt prompted Li Xiao to make the final decision.
It wasn't until the end of September that my father took a leave of absence.
Before leaving, my mother held Li Xiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, when you go out, you have to be careful, and when you get to the factory, you must listen to your uncle's arrangement, don't make trouble for others." Learn to take care of yourself. Outside, everything must rely on yourself, and keep an eye on everything. If your parents aren't around, you have to learn to take care of yourself. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Li Xiao too.
Although I have left my parents many times before, after all, I am still with reliable relatives in a reliable place, and my parents can still rest assured. This time, the parents sent their daughter to a strange place and an unknown place, and there will inevitably be uneasiness and reluctance in their hearts.
"Okay, okay, I'll send it to the factory in person, the child won't always stay with you, and you have to go out and break through. Don't worry. We're going to catch a car. The father interrupted the mother.
