Zheng Yan finally chose to go back to City B and entered the state-owned enterprise.

Zheng Yan's mother is very happy, her son has a good and stable job, and the future is gradually stable, and she is busy with Zheng Yan's marriage. For parents in rural areas, only when the child's marriage is resolved, the child can really grow up, so Zheng Yan always uses the excuse of going to work to hide in the unit and not go home.

After returning to P City, Zheng Yan told Xiaomin about his work.

Xiaomin reluctantly blessed Zheng Yan, and there was a loss of hope in the depths of her words.

Zheng Yan, who is engaged in work, no longer cares about more things, and he and Xiaomin still get along indifferently, and they are still friends.

Life has brought Zheng Yan and Xiaomin back to a bland track.

The hourglass of time always flows inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaomin is also in the graduation season, and Zheng Yan's work has turned positive.

One day, Xiaomin called Zheng Yan, and she said: "After graduation, I also want to go back to P City to work, a chronic child like me is not suitable for the fast pace of a big city like X City." ”

Zheng Yan was overjoyed, and his words were as unrestrained as wild horses: "Really, that's great, I welcome you on behalf of P City." ”

Xiaomin lowered her head and said with a red face: "Don't come to X City for my birthday in May, I just have something to go back to P City, see you then." ”

Zheng Yan was so shocked by the ensuing happiness that he almost fainted, and he didn't know the words, only nodded stupidly.

Approaching May, Zheng Yan counted the days with his fingers, looking forward to the arrival of that day. For this reason, he arranged activities and itineraries for this day early, and also went to the porcelain factory to burn a set of exquisite cups by himself.

Time came as scheduled, Xiaomin's original short hair turned out to be long over the shoulder, and Xiaomin, who was wearing suspenders, was as cute as ever, but she was more mature and beautiful than before.

Picked up Xiaomin at the train station, the time was close to noon, Zheng Yan took her to the reserved restaurant for dinner, under Zheng Yan's careful arrangement, the process was not negligent, Zheng Yan sang the birthday song happily in the guitarist's performance, Xiaomin smiled happily as beautiful as a flower.

Xiaomin said happily: "I have already found a job in P City, an accounting firm, but the salary is very low at first, but when the time comes, I will live at home, save rent, and barely be able to support myself." When I'm done, I'll be fine. ”

Zheng Yan gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are already very powerful, very good!" ”

Randomly, Zheng Yanshen mysteriously took out a box and said with a smile: "Happy birthday!" ”

Xiao Min happily opened the box and saw a beautifully packaged set of porcelain, a tooth cup, a water cup, a teacup, and a pair of small bowls, which were printed with beautiful patterns of Xiao Min's cartoon characters. Xiaomin liked it very much when she saw it, and hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

Zheng Yan said gently: "Your birthday is May, so you did five." ”

Xiaomin deeply understood Zheng Yan's thoughts, and was a little moved in her heart. What Xiaomin didn't know was that Zheng Yan actually made a pair of porcelain and another cartoon image printed with himself, and all of them were made by himself.

Walking through the streets of P City again, Zheng Yan was full of emotion. Once upon a time, this was his biggest dream in the whole high school and it came true today, the tall banyan trees on P City Street shaded the sky and the sun, and the not very wide road was a little quieter surrounded by banyan trees, Zheng Yan liked this kind of road, and Xiaomin also liked it.

The two chatted unscrupulously, as if time had been suspended at this moment, as if the whole world was left with each other at this moment.

In the evening, the two went to the snack street to taste the snacks that are the specialties of P City, and for the first time they were as inseparable as a couple. Until the evening, downstairs at Xiaomin's house, they were reluctant to separate. On this day, both of them were happy.

The next day, sending Xiaomin back to X City, Zheng Yan returned to work, and his heart was full of hope and passion for life, and he felt that a better life in the future beckoned to him.

Perhaps, it was the gift of the cup that doomed Zheng Yan and Xiaomin to be a tragedy after all, and Xiaomin broke the appointment again. Xiaomin's father found a good job for Xiaomin in X City, Xiaomin was reluctant to go, was severely reprimanded by his father, and his mother begged Xiaomin to cherish this hard-won opportunity, which is the dream job of many college students, and he can't waste his father's hard work in vain. For this job, my father used a lot of contacts, and if I didn't go at this time, I wouldn't go, so that my father would face those friends in the future. After struggling to no avail, Xiaomin gave in.

Zheng Yan, who was looking forward to Xiaomin's return to P City, was disappointed again. Listening to Xiaomin's cowardly words, Zheng Yan couldn't bear to blame something? Looking back, what reason did I have to blame her? What is the relationship between myself and her? Is it a friend? Or is it a little more intimate than a friend?

One question mark after another hovered in Zheng Yan's mind like a dark cloud, and he couldn't disperse for a long time.

Xiaomin's voice on the other end of the phone trembled, like a child who had made a mistake, Zheng Yan didn't know how to speak, so he had to comfort: "It's okay, X City is not far away, it's only 300 kilometers, and we can still meet." ”

Xiaomin had tears in the corners of her eyes, nodded, and said aggrievedly: "I've disappointed you again, I've missed the appointment again and again." ”

Zheng Yan smiled bitterly: "No, I'm happy for you, after all, it's a job that others dream of, cherish it." ”

Xiaomin bit her lip and asked softly, "Then what will we do in the future?" ”

When Zheng Yan heard Xiaomin mention the word "we" for the first time, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, followed by a burst of sadness. In reality, the gap between him and Xiaomin is too big, and what she can easily have is something that he can't get with all his might. He and her are not just separated by 300 kilometers, it is a huge barrier, a class barrier. How much he hopes that her family background can be ordinary, at least let him feel that he can be worthy of her, if she was in P City, then if the two are really together, they can slowly manage this relationship together. And Xiaomin broke the appointment again and again, Zheng Yan also knew how strict Xiaomin's father was, and Xiaomin's cowardly personality was probably caused by her strong father. Did he and her have a future?

Zheng Yan sorted out the chaotic thoughts, and said gently: "My future has always had you, no matter what the future holds, at least I will be your best friend, and I will be by your side when you need me." ”

Xiaomin cried and said, "I don't want to be friends with you only. The emotions that had been buried for many years gushed out, and at this moment, she finally said what she wanted to say most in her heart.

Zheng Yan's inferiority complex was troublesome again, and he said in a depressed mood: "I am not worthy of you, emotionally, I am not consistent, in reality, I have no material foundation that can make you live a good life." ”

"I like you, since the snow that day, my heart seems to be hazy like you, at that time I don't know if it's like, I'm relatively slow. It wasn't until you and Li Shiwen were together that I felt regret, regretted that I didn't catch you and let you slip away from me alive, now I won't let you run away again, let's be together. ”

Zheng Yan burst into tears, and after countless days and nights of missing, he never thought that he would be confessed by her one day, he didn't care about wiping the mottled tears on his face, and nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to shake off his head. The long-cherished wish of many years will be realized one day, and his heart will feel indescribable. Zheng Yan was moved with countless unexpected emotions: "Be my girlfriend, Xiaomin, I love you, I have loved you for a long, long time, I really love you very much, I love you more than anyone else." ”

Suddenly, the outpouring of love turned into tears between the two of them, these were tears of happiness, they all cried, crying beautifully, very happy.

Xiaomin said bravely again: "I'll go to you tomorrow, I miss you so much, I miss you so much." ”

Zheng Yan said happily: "What time is the car, I'll pick you up." ”

It was the longest phone call they had ever made, and it was also the happiest phone call, and after breaking the window paper, everything could be faced calmly.

Xiaomin asked curiously, "Did you really like Li Shiwen at that time?" ”

Zheng Yan sighed in his heart, realized that this problem was very bad, and said with a serious face: "I liked it at that time, she spoke up for me like a heroine in a TV series, she is very brave, I appreciate her very much." ”

Xiaomin is a girl after all, and she still has a grudge against his past emotional experience, so she continued to pout and asked, "Then why did you break up if you like her?" ”

Zheng Yan said cautiously: "That day in Xitang, she asked me, do I care more about her or you in my heart?" I couldn't answer her question, and she broke up with me. ”

Knowing this problem, Xiaomin was a little satisfied in her heart, and she vaguely guessed that Zheng Yan broke up with Li Shiwen not long after Xitang, and she should have a certain relationship with herself, but she didn't expect the relationship to be so direct. Xiaomin continued to ask, "How far have you got?" ”

Zheng Yan was sweating profusely, and said truthfully: "Just hold hands and kiss your mouth." ”

Although Xiaomin was still quite satisfied with this answer, she was inevitably jealous in her heart. Once she arrived at her girlfriend's position, she became unkind to Zheng Yan and ordered: "You are not allowed to contact again in the future." ”

Zheng Yan said honestly: "Of course." ”

The next day, at the train station, Xiaomin rushed towards Zheng Yan for the first time, and threw herself heavily into his arms, in his not thick chest, she felt very happy. The first time I hugged, for some reason, Xiaomin, who had always been shy, suddenly took the initiative, and took the initiative to close her eyes and ask for a kiss in front of everyone. Zheng Yan closed her eyes and kissed her soft lips affectionately, Zheng Yan's heart was as sweet as melted chocolate, and Xiaomin's little heart was like a lost deer. A kiss made the two forget all their sorrows, and a kiss seemed to have all the pain of all these years vanished. Everything seems to be going in a good direction, although there is a distance of three hundred kilometers between the two, but in the next few months, the relationship between the two has warmed up like never before, and the affectionate words on the phone seem to have crossed the barrier of space, as if each other is close to each other, right in front of them. Sweet, unprecedentedly sweet, Zheng Yan will giggle happily at work, and Xiaomin can't help humming a little song every day.

On the weekend, Xiaomin's sister Xiaoyu discovered Xiaomin's earth-shaking changes, as if the ordinary sister in the past had changed as if she had changed a person, with a sweet smile on her face every day, she was much more beautiful, and it was obviously the rhythm of love.

Xiaoyu secretly ran behind her sister, looked mysterious, and asked softly, "Sister, is there anything you haven't reported?" ”

Xiaomin restrained her happy smile, pressed the phone under her legs, and didn't let her sister see the chat history between herself and Zheng Yan, and then said calmly: "What's the situation?" ”

Xiaoyu bit Xiaomin's ear and said secretly: "I saw it all, confess and be lenient, otherwise I will tell my mother who is that word in your phone?" ”

Xiaomin's face darkened, and she said angrily: "You dare? ”

Xiaoyu, who had just entered his freshman, blinked mischievously, ran to the kitchen with a cigarette, hugged his mother's waist, and said happily: "Mom, my sister is much more beautiful, have you noticed?" ”

My mother was wearing an apron and preparing lunch, and she was so impatient that she said, "Your sister has always been very beautiful, and you are jealous again?" ”

Xiaomin followed to the door of the kitchen, stood outside and looked at her naughty sister, she couldn't say or scold, she could only squeeze her eyebrows and beg her sister to let her go. In fact, in Xiaomin's family, her mother is a more tolerant parent, and the two children are not afraid of her, and they are willing to talk to their mothers, and the two girls are afraid of their fathers, although the father is usually very doting on the two, but when it comes to life-determining events, the father is absolutely authoritative and cannot be questioned by others. She didn't plan to tell her parents about her relationship with Zheng Yan so soon, she hoped that it would be later, which may also be a hidden worry in her heart.

Xiaoyu grimaced at Xiaomin, and said in a joking tone: "Mom, my sister has graduated from college, is it time to find a partner to start a family?" ”

Mom said earnestly: "It stands to reason that you should fall in love, after all, you are not young, but your sister has an elm head, I am afraid that she will not fall in love." ”

Hearing this, Xiaomin's face was slightly red, and she glared at Xiaoyu fiercely, Xiaoyu ignored Xiaomin's eyes, and continued to tease: "Mom, I don't know my heart if I know people, I don't know my heart, maybe my sister already has a boyfriend, but I just don't tell you, will we all be kept in the dark by my sister." ”

Mom turned her head and saw Xiaomin standing at the door stiffly, Xiaomin is a person who has never lied since she was a child, her mother saw through Xiaomin's heart at a glance, and said kindly: "It seems that my sister is right, my sister is in love, no wonder she has been so cheerful recently." ”

Xiaomin, who was seen through the secret at a glance, stood in place blankly, and Xiaoyu smiled happily: "That's it, hurry up and confess, otherwise I will tell my father and let Dad's strict standards help you review it." ”

When it came to her father, Xiaomin's face suddenly became gloomy, she had always been afraid of her father, and she repeatedly missed appointments with Zheng Yan because her father arranged her life in advance, sometimes she felt that her life didn't seem to have much meaning, everything was arranged by her father, if there was no Zheng Yan, her life would be as boring as a blank sheet of paper, without any color. Because of Zheng Yan, a person who was not arranged by her father appeared, and her life had a warm color.

Xiaomin blames Xiaoyu for her mouthful, although the sisters often joke with each other, they are lively and unrestrained in front of their mothers, they all know that their mothers will spoil themselves and will help them keep secrets together, so sometimes they will even be unscrupulous in front of their mothers.

Xiaomin rolled her eyes at Xiaoyu and vented her dissatisfaction in her heart, Xiaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, seeing that the more angry her sister looked, the more she felt funny, and said half-truthfully: "Recently, my sister seems to have been chatting with a person named Yan, and the conversation is cheerful, and I can't help but laugh when I chat, Mom, who are you talking about?" ”

Mom's eyes lit up, and she cheered up and said, "Sister, when will you bring it back and let me see it first?" I think it's good to say good things for your dad in front of him. ”

Xiaomin tugged at the corner of her nightdress, bowed her head and said shyly: "It didn't take long for him to come to the house, wouldn't it be too fast to let him come to the house." ”

At this time, a majestic voice came from behind him: "When did you fall in love, who is it, tell your father?" ”

The air suddenly froze, the cheerful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, the culprit Xiaoyu ran back to his room, and his mother walked out of the kitchen with the fruit, and said gently: "I came back so soon today, has the matter been dealt with?" ”

Dad said calmly: "It's all dealt with, and the New Year will be over soon, so let the employees get together with their families more and stop working overtime." ”

Mom helped her husband take off his coat as usual, patted the dust gently, hung it up carefully, and then led Xiaomin to sit down in the living room.

Mom said gently: "Xiaomin, since you are in love, tell your parents about the situation, let your parents check for you, if all aspects are good, your parents will be more assured." ”

Xiaomin sat on the sofa and said cautiously: "I've been talking for a few months, he is my high school classmate, and now he works in a state-owned enterprise in P City, and he used to be the first in his studies, but then he played average in the college entrance examination, and he should be able to be admitted to Tsinghua University if he plays normally." ”

After listening to Xiaomin's introduction, Dad nodded first, and then a trace of worry flashed on his face, Dad lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "It's the New Year soon, come over in the next two days, let's see, if the conditions are okay, we will prepare to hold the wedding." ”

Xiaomin nodded in agreement.
