Chapter 15: A Pleasant Homecoming Journey

Thousands of miles away, there will be a farewell, A-Ying is going back to school.

Mother, father and siblings saw us off early in the morning. The mother held the girls and walked on the grass path with a strong autumn mood, saying loving words all the way, leaving deep blessings by A-Ying's side and accompanying her every day. It's as if A-Ying left her arms and didn't know how to live. Ah Ying's tears rippled, and she nodded vigorously, admitting. "Mom, A-Ying is a big girl, she knows how to take care of herself, you can rest assured!" "Hmmm! Brother is right, I will take care of myself, Mom, you can rest assured. A-Ying also chimed in.

"Second brother, take care of your sister-in-law along the way," the two younger sisters also admonished and instructed.

The father and the elder brother didn't have much to say, carrying large bags and small bags. Just tell me to be careful along the way, be kind to the little girl, and don't let people be wronged or anything like that. "If he makes you wronged, tell me, see that I don't whip him!" Father said honestly and viciously.

"Dad, no! My brother won't bully me, it's bullying, and I won't tell you, if you smoke him, you will smoke me! "When did A-Ying speak so well, I shook his hand as if complimentingly, soft and warm. A-Ying looked at me with a smile. When my dad heard Ah Ying say this, the wrinkles on his bronzed face bloomed, like a chrysanthemum blooming! Alas, the parents are old! I sighed in my heart.

Finally, a bus drove up. The time of separation has arrived.

Ah Ying and I got in the car. The driver didn't care about the parting mood, the car roared and drove away.

The mother and sisters were still waving their hands reluctantly, and Sinip chased the car and ran a long distance before he gave up the chase stupidly.

Crying. Fall on my shoulder! I wiped her tears, "Farewell, how can there be so many tears!" When I left, I didn't see you shed tears! I teased her. She pinched me, very hard! It doesn't hurt, it's just a tooth.

Helped her to sit down in her seat, and it took a while to calm down from the parting emotion. He looked intently at the scenery passing by outside the window. "Why haven't I seen this before?" I don't want to think of her coming back, such a haggard appearance, and I don't want to think about it again, and even more so in this parting mood, so as not to cause sadness, I said flatly: "You are asleep, like a pig." ”

"Oh, I can sleep like this?" She replied absent-mindedly.

"Hmm," I nodded affirmatively, answering her inquiring gaze.

"People here say that people sleep deeply, and they say they are like pigs, right?" She said to me.

"No, there are other adjectives". I can't answer that question either. Speaking has a local characteristic in a place, there is no uniform standard, and in principle, it is okay if the listener does not cause ambiguity or disgust.

"And what are the words?" She tilted her head and asked me innocently.

"Little donkey!" This is a word that I used to describe behind my back, and for this reason, I grabbed his neck to warn him, and if I dared to say it again, I would pull out his teeth. It's been almost two months since I graduated, and I miss him a lot. Today, when A-Ying asked, I said it casually.

Only the big toe is felt, and the pressure is reached to the point of baring the teeth. A-Ying glared softly, her feet straining. This little devil!

"It's not about you!" I saw a few Qinghai gold diggers sitting next to us laughing.

"And who are you talking about?" The big eyes twinkled seductively.

"Of course I mean myself!" I said with a grin.

"Correct!" As soon as my feet were loosened, I couldn't stop laughing.

"Cut, one laugh captivates the city, two laughs captivates the country, and three laughs kill people!" I ramped nonsense to amuse her. It was three days on the road, and we had time to frolic in the car.

"Look! That's the Brento Sea! The largest inland lake in Xinjiang, you have talked about it geographically! ”

"Ahh It's so big, you can't see the edge at a glance! A-Ying followed the direction of my finger, "This is the Brento Sea?" The farthest lake from the sea in Xinjiang! It's beautiful! We should take a look at it here. As he spoke, he looked a little regretful, and his eyes were pressed against the window, looking at the beautiful lake with fascination. In winter, I'll pick you up and we'll go ice skating on the lake! ”

"No! If I don't go back during the summer vacation or winter vacation, my Fahai dad has to come and arrest me! I'm his baby, too. After that, he glanced at me. A-Ying is homesick, and it can be seen that she loves her family very much

"A-Ying, you are so blessed, so many people like you!" I felt heartfelt and happy for her.

"Qinghai Lake is much bigger than that! Our home is right on the shore! The slightly older Qinghai guest said. Perhaps it was the Brento Sea that evoked the homesickness of the wanderers, and they slipped up the flowers. Very beautiful tune, melodious, like a turn! But I don't understand. They sang solo one after the other, a small a cappella band.

"That's good!" A-Ying is fascinated, do you understand? She turned back to me and asked.

"Oh, this is Qinghai flowers, the tune is fixed, and the words can be sung with the arrangement. Now they are singing: They went home in the car, and there was a beautiful girl in the car, and she walked with them, and the little girl's big eyes were black and beautiful, and she was as beautiful as a flower..."

"Is that how you sing it?" A-Ying enjoyed listening carefully to my translation, but in fact, I was making nonsense. Little girls like to listen to compliments, not to mention a beautiful little girl like A-Ying.

"When I go out later, I'll prepare a sari for you!" I whispered to her.

"What's it for?" She asked, puzzled.

"Cover your face! They are all looking at you, even the driver is looking at you in the rearview mirror. I said jealously.

When she heard it, she giggled, and the laughter was like the sound of ice ridges falling on the ice, crisp and eye-catching!

The flower tune is embedded in this laughter, like a chorus, so harmonious, so perfect!

Along the way, A-Ying quickly got acquainted with several Qinghai guests, asking this and that along the way. Qinghai visitors were infected by her enthusiasm and curiosity, and kept telling her about their experiences and all kinds of interesting things they encountered when they came to Xinjiang.

Speaking of their participation in the filming of the movie "Gold Rush King" as extras for a year, their eyebrows danced, and a look of pride appeared on their faces, but unfortunately, they have never seen this film, and they don't know when they will see it, they all want to see their image on the screen too much. When you return home, you can also show your friends and relatives about the scene. For other villagers who have never been out, it can also be said to be an adventure in Xinjiang.

Ah Ying smiled, acted as a temporary host, and arranged for everyone in the Qinghai guest group to tell a story, "Please wake up and listen to the story!" A-Ying applauded and woke up the whole car, full of emotion and very appealing!

The atmosphere in the car suddenly becomes relaxed and lively! A-Ying is really good! The car of people who don't know each other is formed into a temporary small collective, taking care of each other and spending a beautiful journey together.

A-Ying and I also listened very carefully to everyone's story, and from time to time, we would ask some detailed questions on the spot to help the narrator tell the story more completely and interestingly!

In fact, everyone in the car is listening carefully to the legendary stories of these Qinghai guests. Even the sleepy insects who "got in the car to sleep and peed when they got off" along the way quietly listened quietly with their eyes half-closed.

The times are progressing, people's concepts are emancipating, and the economic, cultural and personnel exchanges and flows between different regions and regions have become a trend.

People are pondering. This car of more than 50 people, although they are all in the same car, does not mean that our terminal is the same, each of us is just a fellow traveler in this short journey, just a chance encounter, once to the transit station, and their own world, since then there is no intersection. Therefore, every encounter in the journey of life should be cherished, because there are nearly 10 billion people on the earth, even around you, there are thousands of people, who pass you by in a hurry every day, why do you have a one-sided relationship? It all comes down to fate!

What's more, the person who loves you and the person you love is not something that can be explained by the word fate. This is the password in your life, seemingly accidental glimpse of life and death together, if there is no password set long ago, how can there be a lifetime of companionship? As for the end of the hatred, it may be the result of password mutation and information asymmetry.

The three-day pleasant journey ended in the autumn sun at noon in Urumqi.

Everyone got off the bus one after another, but in the hurry, they couldn't forget to say goodbye to A-Ying and me. A-Ying enjoyed the last blessing of never seeing each other again in this life with a great sense of accomplishment, and also expressed our best wishes to them.

The driver finally refunded us the ticket money, saying that he couldn't excuse anything.

"The little girl is amazing and caring, and this is the happiest trip I've had in years! Enjoyed! Uncle Driver said sincerely.

Instead, A-Ying was embarrassed to hide behind me, bowing her head and smiling shamefully.

"He's yours?" The driver asked me kindly.

"My little sister, send him to school!" I replied.

"I said, so sensible, so smart, must be a college student! If only my girl would be great! The driver waved goodbye to us cordially and said lovingly.
