Everyone discussed for a long time, but they didn't make up their minds whether to go to the city to work. Dunzi said: "Pole, you know better than us no matter what, or you can help us get an idea." I thought to myself how I could help them make the decision, but seeing their expectant looks, I couldn't bear to refuse, and suddenly remembered what my father had just replied to everyone, so I said: "My father was still outside just now, he thinks that no matter what he does in the city, it is better than staying in the village." Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, so they all made up their minds and followed Second Uncle Fang into the city as soon as the New Year was over.

I asked Zhuzi, "If you go to the city, how will Xiaohong get it with two children alone." Xiaohong said: "What's so bad about this, his parents and my parents are at home, and our family Lingling is very well-behaved, easy to bring." The pillar said: "Yes, and it's not like I'm not coming back, Second Uncle Fang said, in addition to the Chinese New Year every year, there is also family leave, and now that the road has been repaired, it is also very convenient to come back." ”

At this time, Xiaoyu asked me: "Brother Gongzi, you have graduated from college, what kind of job are you going to look for?" When everyone heard Xiaoyu ask, they all quieted down and listened carefully, because what kind of job college students are looking for is very worthy of attention for them. I said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I majored in economics in school, and generally speaking, it is better to go to a bank, a securities company, an investment company, or a trading company." Everyone looked at me blankly, except for banks, they had never heard of other terms, and I had to explain to you in detail what these companies do. Although I think I have made it very clear, everyone still listens to it in a fog, but it adds to the feeling of envy and admiration for me.

Or the more clever monkey asked a key question: "Pole, these places you are talking about, the wages should be very high, right?" I said, "Yes...... I don't know the specifics, but there should be one or two thousand, two or three thousand a month, and if you do it well, there will be more. Everyone was amazed, "Wow, that's a lot." "It's better to go to college and have such a high salary." Under everyone's constant praise, I can't help but feel a little fluttery, and I feel very good.

For the topic of working in the city, only Centipede is not too interested, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he doesn't bother to do that kind of hard work under Second Uncle Fang, except for him, there are few young people in the village who are not interested in working in the field. Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and before they knew it, it was already dark, so everyone dispersed. I originally wanted to talk to Xiaoyu alone, but I never found a chance, thinking that I would have to stay here for a few days anyway, and then I would find a chance.

The small mountain village is small and the place is small, everyone looks down and does not look up, and the opportunity will come soon. On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a traditional bonfire party in a small mountain village, basically everyone in the village will come, and that night is no taboo, everyone can enjoy themselves.

As soon as it gets dark, three piles of bonfires with a height of more than one person are lit in the open space at the entrance of the village, and all the men, women and children in the village go out to drink wine and eat meat around the bonfire, singing and dancing. I came to the event site early with Zhuzi, Dunzi, and Xiaohong, Xiaohong couldn't get too close to the bonfire because of her big belly, so the pillar moved a chair for Xiaohong to sit in the shed where the food and wine were distributed, and the children of all sizes were led by two experienced aunts with children to play games on the side.

As soon as the band started, the young and old began to dance around the fire, and I hadn't been to the New Year's bonfire for 10 years, and I was very excited, shouting and dancing wantonly. At this time, Dunzi patted me and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu is over there, do you want to pull her over." ”

I looked in the direction that the pier pointed, and Xiaoyu had her back to me, dancing with the monkey and the second dog by another campfire, and from her back I could vaguely find the shadow of her childhood. On the one hand, I feel very emotional, Xiaoyu has always played with us when I was a child, and now I ...... Alas; On the other hand, I am also very hesitant in my heart, she is now married to a wife, is it appropriate for me to bring her? Dunzi saw that I was hesitating and said, "Are you embarrassed to go?" I'll help you go. ”

After a while, Xiaoyu followed Dunzi over, and when she saw me, she smiled and said, "Brother Gongzi, are you looking for me?" I was embarrassed to say, "I...... It's not me, it's Dunzi who has to pull you over. Dunzi said: "Hey, obviously you let me go, but I still don't admit it." Xiaoyu laughed and said, "The four of us haven't played together for a long time, and today is a rare opportunity, let's get together." Dunzi said, "That's it." As I said that, everyone started dancing, and I felt like I had gone back to my childhood.

After dancing a song, some of us went to the wine and food tent to get food, and some sat around the bonfire to rest and chat. Xiaoyu and I sat shoulder to shoulder on the ground, and Dunzi said, "Let's go get something to eat." So saying, he pulled the pillar and ran.

Xiaoyu asked: "Brother Gongzi, now that the road is open, it is convenient to come back, next time I come back, bring Lin Qian back to play." I was stunned, thinking that Lin Qian had already been heard from for a long time, how could I bring it back, but it was a long story to explain, and I didn't know where to start. Seeing that I was silent, Xiaoyu asked, "What's wrong?" Is it inconvenient to bring her? I shook my head and said, "No, she, she's out of the country and probably won't come back." Xiao Yuqi said: "Why did she suddenly go abroad, I think your relationship should be very good." I sighed and said, "It's hard to put this into words." Xiaoyu said: "Anyway, it's going to be a long time tonight, so you can talk to me about it." ”

At this time, Zhu Zi and Dunzi came over with two large plates, in which there were wine bowls and food, and put them in front of me and Xiaoyu, and then everyone poured wine and dried half a bowl first. Dunzi asked, "What are you two talking about?" Xiaoyu said: "Do you remember, the last time the pole came back, wasn't there a very beautiful girl who was his girlfriend?" Dunzi said: "I remember that there were two very beautiful girls, and I never figured out which one was the girlfriend of the pole. The pillar said, "You are stupid, aren't you the one who wears black?" Xiaoyu said: "Yes, it's her, her name is Lin Qian." Dunzi said, "Yes, then, that bonfire, wasn't the one who stayed with the pole in yellow clothes?" I asked her that day, and she said that it was usually Lin Qian, and it was her that night. So I didn't get it. Xiaoyu knocked on the head of the pier and said: "It's a joke when you hear this, you can't hear it, you're stupid." The pillar and I laughed.

Xiaoyu said: "Lin Qian chatted with me all night that day, although she didn't say it directly, but I was sure that she was the girlfriend of the pole." Dunzi said frustratedly, "Okay, you say yes." Xiaoyu said: "However, just now, Brother Gongzi said that Lin Qian has already gone abroad and may not come back." When the pillars and piers heard this, they all exclaimed, "Huh? Dunzi patted his thigh and said, "Pole, it's a pity, a fairy-like girl, it's gone." The pillar knocked on the pier's head and said, "You can't speak, what is gone." Dunzi hurriedly said: "Oh, no, no, it should be gone, gone." Xiaoyu knocked on the head of the pier again and said, "I can't speak, and I still talk so much." Dunzi shouted, "Why do you keep knocking on my head?" Xiaoyu said, "Who made you so short and have such a round head." Everyone laughed.

Xiaoyu said: "Okay, okay, don't interrupt, Brother Gongzi was about to tell me about Lin Qian's departure just now." When the pillars and piers heard this, they hurriedly said, "Speak quickly." So I told them exactly what Lin Qian had done abroad, but I hid a little detail that couldn't be revealed. Everyone listened so intriguedly that the dancing music sounded, and everyone didn't care.

When I finished, everyone felt very sorry. Xiaoyu said: "It's a pity, but Brother Gongzi, don't be sad, there are many things that can't be helped." Dunzi said, "I'm thinking, maybe she'll come back one day." I shook my head and said, "In her case, she basically won't come back, and I haven't been able to contact her since she left the country." Xiaoyu said: "Brother Gongzi, last time you came back, didn't you all go to the bonfire party at night, Lin Qian came to me and chatted with me for a long time, she felt the same as me, in fact, the two of you just like each other, but in many ways it is not very compatible, for example, the two of you don't talk much, and you often feel that you have nothing to say when you are together; For example, the two of you have different family environments, resulting in different values, consumption views, and life plans for both of you; For example, in addition to liking her feelings, there is also gratitude and awe, and you are often restrained and unable to let go in front of her, which is not the kind of love she wants. ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt that my heart was gone, these feelings have always been deep in my heart, but I have no way to describe such feelings, I don't want to and don't want to carefully ponder and experience this feeling, I am afraid that after making this feeling very clear, it will make my feelings for Lin Qian mixed with impurities.

Xiaoyu saw that I bowed my head and was silent, knowing that the words were in my heart, so she continued: "Later, Lin Qian accompanied me out to prepare to go to the bonfire party to play, and we saw you and Jia Tianer talking and laughing from a distance, dancing very happily, so we went back and didn't bother you. Lin Qian said, in fact, Jia Tianer also likes you, and she feels that Jia Tianer's personality is more suitable for you, and there is no pressure for you to be with her, so she is very entangled in her heart, she wants to give you to Jia Tianer, so that you will live a happier life, but she is unwilling, after all, she has paid too much for you. Alas. ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt that I was an emotional idiot compared to these excellent girls, and I was amazed by the maturity of their considerations. Zhuzi and Dunzi were also dumbfounded when they heard it, and Dunzi said: "Oh my God, your girls' brains are too complicated, and you have been thinking about something all day long." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the white pier and continued: "Brother Gongzi, although I know that emotionally speaking, you will definitely not be able to let go of Lin Qian, but from the perspective of a bystander, I also think that Jia Tian'er is more suitable for you, if Lin Qian really doesn't come back, you might as well try to find Jia Tian'er." Zhuzi said: "Pole, I also agree with Xiaoyu on this point, that day at the bonfire party, I also think that Jia Tian'er girl really likes you, and you are indeed more open with her than with Lin Qian." ”

Hearing the two of them say this, I said, "Actually, Jia Tianer is already my girlfriend." "Everyone was surprised when they heard it?" With a sigh, Xiao Yu said, "Really? I nodded. Xiaoyu said: "Great, I heard you talk about Lin Qian just now, we were still worried that you would be sad for a long time, and it would be difficult to get out." I said, "Actually, it's a coincidence." So, I told me about my food poisoning after Lin Qian left, and what happened between me and Jia Tianer later.

After listening to this, Xiaoyu clapped her hands and smiled: "Great, Brother Gongzi, so that we can rest assured, I think you and Jia Tian'er will be very happy and happy together." Dunzi said: "The popularity of the rod woman is good, which makes people too envious." Xiaoyu said: "Brother Gongzi, next time you come back, you must bring Jia Tian'er back, I want to have a good chat with her, as your ...... Belch...... Friends who grew up together, I'm going to check it for you again. The pillars and piers also chimed in: "Yes, yes, you must bring it back." I said, "No problem." ”

At this time, the music came to mind, and the people around him got up to dance again, Xiaoyu said: "Ah, it's a hand-holding dance, Brother Gongzi, is it okay to dance with me." I was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay." Xiao Yu took my hand, took me to the bonfire, jumped up happily, looking at Xiao Yu's innocent smiling face and dexterous dancing, at this moment I seemed to return to those two little guessless, carefree childhood.
