Before Zhao Qingyu left, he went to the store to talk to his parents.

Zhao's mother asked her if she wanted to bring some money, Zhao Qingyu shook her head, because she had eaten a lot of Xia Zimo's free breakfast and dinner, and she still had some living expenses in her hand.

"Mom, you and Dad usually pay attention, rest early at night, I'll be back early tomorrow." With that, she walked lightly across the road.

L town and Y city are in the same direction, and they both have to take a car on the opposite side, but L town is much closer, and it only takes an hour to get there by short-distance car.

Zhao's father was washing in the back, and after hearing the conversation, he squatted on the edge of the pool and said loudly, "Is Xiaoyu coming back?" ”

"Don't shout, let's go to the other side and wait for the bus." Mother Zhao stood at the door while changing coal while staring at the three people across the road, muttering something in her mouth.

Xia Zimo noticed that Zhao's mother on the other side seemed to be looking at him all the time, so he said to Zhao Qingyu who had just come over, "Let's go over there and wait for the car." ”

Zhao Qingyu frowned slightly and asked, "Why?" ”

Xia Zimo pursed his lips and didn't answer, Zhao Qingyu suddenly seemed to understand something, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that his mother had been looking this way.

Wang Yanli also asked in a low voice: "Does your mother know that he is your boyfriend?" ”

Xia Zimo next to him heard this, his face became hot, and he raised his head a little annoyed and glared at Zhao Qingyu: "Why are you ......" Halfway through speaking, he stopped, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I'm sorry, I thought ......"

"It's nothing, there aren't many people who know that you're my boyfriend, it's just a few, my parents don't know." Zhao Qingyu said lightly.

"Well, it's good if you don't know......" Xia Zimo finished speaking, he stood to the side for a while, and didn't speak until the car came.

Wang Yanli was a little confused, she stood next to Zhao Qingyu and gently tugged at the latter's sleeve, her eyes were a little worried.

Zhao Qingyu shook her head slightly, signaling that she was fine.

While waiting for the car, Ruan Ling and Wang Hao went to the opposite side to stop the tricycle, but this time it was different from before, and both of them got into the car.

Zhao Qingyu turned his head sideways to see Xia Zimo's reaction, but the latter turned his head away.

She knew he must have seen it too.

Just as they were waiting, a group of young people in fancy clothes passed in front of them and walked towards the school.

Wang Yanli looked at the backs of those people curiously, and whispered, "Isn't that the girl who comes to Li Feiyu every day?" ”

Zhao Qingyu glanced at it when she heard this, her figure was somewhat similar, but she didn't see her face, so she didn't know.

At this time, the car finally came, and it was a dusty old minibus.

There were also many students waiting for the bus standing nearby, all boarding students rushing home from vacation, and some of them were carrying large bags of dirty clothes that had been saved for a week.

There were already no vacant cars, but now they are even more crowded.

Zhao Qingyu followed behind Wang Yanli and finally squeezed up, and stopped at the door and couldn't move anymore.

The murky air in the car was filled with all kinds of smells, especially the strong smell of gasoline, which made her cover her nose a little uncomfortably.

Alas, she originally wanted to sit in the car and take a look at the scenery along the way, but she never expected it to be like this in reality.

She felt like a sardine stuffed into a can, completely deflated.

In front of her is Wang Yanli, and behind her is Xia Zimo, she is sandwiched between the two, her face is attached to the bamboo mat that Xia Zimo is holding, and there is not even a place for a handrail, which makes her very insecure.

In the end, she had no choice but to hold Wang Yanli with one hand and quietly hold the other side of someone's bamboo mat with the other.

The car was driving along the mountain road, and occasionally someone would shout in advance that the master should stop at so-and-so, and then the people standing by the door would be forced to get out of the car and give up their positions, and wait for people to get out of the car and then get up.

After waiting for more than a dozen people, the car was finally no longer so crowded, Zhao Qingyu found a place where she could grab a handrail, she turned her head to look at Wang Yanli, who was also squeezed enough, her face was red, and the tip of her nose was sweating.

It's really hot in the car.

There are quite a few students living in L Town, and no one has a chance to sit down for a while until they get off the bus. When they got out of the car, it was empty.

As soon as I got out of the car, the cool and fresh air outside came to my face, washing away the heat on everyone's body.

"Oh my god, I'm wearing too much today, I'm dying of heat, and I can't take it off." Wang Yanli took off her blue school uniform and tied it around her waist.

Zhao Qingyu just opened the zipper, and the wind outside still brought a hint of coolness.

"Did you come here to play at her house?" Xia Zimo, who hadn't spoken much, finally took the initiative to ask Zhao Qingyu after getting out of the car.

"yes, do you think I'm going to your house?"

Xia Zi was silent for a moment and said, "No...... That my family is in Group 3, what about you? ”

Wang Yanli hurriedly whispered: "My family is in group five. ”

"Then I'll send you back first."

"Hmm." Wang Yanli said that she was about to cross the street, and the five groups were on the opposite side of the three groups.

Zhao Qingyu didn't move, his eyes looked at a small shop on the side of the road: "I'm a little thirsty." ”

Xia Zimo was silent for a moment and said, "What do you want to drink, I'll buy it for you." ”

Zhao Qingyu smiled, "Two bottles of Jianlibao." ”

"Okay."

Seeing Xia Zimo carrying a large bag of things into the store, Wang Yanli whispered to Zhao Qingyu: "Why do you want two bottles, I don't drink ......"

"What does it matter, you're sweating so much, I don't believe you're not thirsty."

"Anyway, I'm almost home soon, just drink water."

While they were still whispering, Xia Zimo took something out and gave them a bottle each.

"Thank you......" Wang Yanli said embarrassedly.

"Nothing, let's go."

said that it was to send them, but in fact, it was Zhao Qingyu and Wang Yanli who were walking in front, and Xia Zimo followed silently.

It was evening, and the sun had already set behind the distant mountains, revealing only a thousand rays of light, dyeing the sky and the earth orange-red.

After walking a cement road that had been in disrepair for a long time, they turned onto a dirt road, most of the new red brick houses on both sides of the previous road, and after walking to the path, Zhao Qingyu found that most of the people behind them were still loess houses.

The old windows, the old wooden doors, and the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the outside have faded and look tattered.

But smoke curls from every house, many houses have animals like chickens or dogs at the door, and children play on the road.

Occasionally, when someone's meal is ready, adults will shout their children's names at the door and ask them to go home for dinner.

This feeling reminded Zhao Qingyu of a period of time when he lived in his grandfather's house in the countryside when he was a child.

It's like a world away.

Ah no, it's really a lifetime.

"Here we are."

Wang Yanli's voice interrupted Zhao Qingyu's thoughts, she looked up at the also aged loess house in front of her, laughed, turned around and said to Xia Zimo: "Thank you, you go back first." ”
