Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wish-Fulfillment
"Later, when my father died, my mother took me back to the city."
Hai Ling looked at Dahe Village in front of her with hatred: "Although we left, my mother has always forgotten Dahe Village, forgotten the people of Dahe Village, she often mentioned to me, educate me to study hard, and benefit Dahe Village in the future." ”
"At that time, I was still young, and I lived a life under the fence with my mother's family, and it was at that time that I knew that what they wanted was money, and money could do a lot of things, and I think that wealth may also be the most lacking thing for the villagers in Dahe Village."
"So I began to study hard, my grades have always been excellent, and I was admitted to Huaxia University as the provincial champion, and then went abroad for further study at the expense of labor, after graduation, I did not return to China, but to pursue a broader sky, more money......
Speaking of this, the corners of Hai Ling's mouth hooked up a wry smile, and He Xu stared at Dahe Village below motionlessly, quietly listening to Hai Ling's statement.
"On Wall Street, I have met a lot of people, experienced a lot of things, and have gotten bigger and bigger from the beginning, but, finally, I suddenly feel that if life really uses money as the goal, it will be empty."
"But it's all the kind of people there, and if you're not in it for the money, who's going to have contact there? Gradually, I started to get bored and tired of my work, so last year I finally made up my mind to go back to China, and then I met you. ”
"You're rich, but you're not interested in money at all, and that piqued my interest, and I often wonder what do you want?"
Hai Ling finished her words in one breath, and then looked at He Xu, and finally asked the confusion in her heart.
"Look! Hare! If we can catch one back, let the villagers roast it will be delicious, the blind date in Fumen Village caught me and roasted, and it still has an endless aftertaste! He Xu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the gray hare in the mountains and suddenly spoke.
"Well, roast hare......"
Hai Ling smiled and said, "I'm really a little hungry when you say that." ”
She also didn't bother with the question just now, because she understood that maybe He Xu didn't know what she wanted, just like she didn't know what she was working so hard for, what she wanted.
So, the two began to grab the hare with their arms and sleeves rolled up.
But the rabbit was slippery, and in a moment it was in the hole.
As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes, today the two finally saw the true meaning of this sentence, after the rabbit entered the hole, the two of them wandered around the hole in vain for a while before they found that the hare ran out again at some point, staring at the two behind the two of them, how hateful and hateful it was.
When the two ran to catch it, the hare turned into the cave again.
After a few repeated attempts, the two finally gave up struggling, and the rabbit was so slippery.
"Forget it, I don't have the strength, let's go into the village, I haven't been back for a long time, and I still miss it a little."
Hai Ling said with a smile, looking at the smile on Hai Ling's face, He Xu couldn't help but be a little distracted, in the past, Hai Ling's smile was mostly naughty and willful, sometimes with a little cunning of conspiracy and treachery, but today is different, today's Hai Ling smiled very calmly, like a cool spring in the mountains.
He Xu was out of his mind, and Hai Ling had already taken the lead towards the bottom of the mountain.
The two finally came to the bottom of the mountain and entered the village of Dahe.
An old woman sat on a bamboo chair at the entrance of the village, holding a teapot in her hand, and drank two sips from time to time while enjoying the shade in the shade.
looked the two up and down, and finally fixed their eyes on Hai Ling's body, Hai Ling didn't speak, just stood in place and looked at the old woman happily.
The old woman looked at it for a long time, still a little unsure, but she still couldn't help but ask, "You...... Are you Hailing? ”
"Yes! Grandma Wu! I'm Hailing! ”
Hai Ling smiled sweetly, walked up and gave the old man a big hug, the old man immediately became excited, hugged Hai Ling tightly, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry, his old hands kept beating Hai Ling's back, and his mouth kept chattering.
"Child, it's good to come back, it's good to come back! It's been so long since I've been gone, and I don't want to come back to see my old woman! Let's go, let's go home, go home! I'll leave your house empty for you! It's changed a lot in the past few years, and they've all become big girls! ”
The old woman chattered endlessly, took Hailing's hand and walked all the way to the village, and looked back at He Xu from time to time, there was a hint of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law in that look, He Xu touched his nose and pretended not to see it.
The old woman went door-to-door Zhang Luo, there were not a few families in Dahe Village, until he entered the village, he found that everyone here was surnamed Wu, and there seemed to be relatives from door to door, everyone was kind when they met, and what uncle, aunt, aunt and uncle were called, they were all a family!
"Dahe Village, also known as Wujia Village, is home to Grandma Wu's family! Can't think of it! Hai Ling was naughty like a child, and suddenly looked back at He Xu and said playfully.
"Well, there are still villages like this......"
He Xu said this, but when he thought about it, he was relieved, there are actually many such families, but the ones he has come into contact with are some rich and powerful big families, and there are not many small families like this, in fact, it is more than the same thing, but one is like the Beichuan Lin family, and the other is like the Wu family in the mountain village.
"Sit, sit, sit! I'm going to call the folks! The old woman arranged He Xu and Hailing in her own house, which is a courtyard house, the furnishings are old but clean and tidy, and the brick and tile design structure is much more advanced than that of Fumen Village.
When they learned that the woman beside He Xu was Hai Ling, the Xiao Ling in their mouths, all of them were stunned.
"I really didn't expect Xiaoling to be so old!"
"Yes, I was still a doll at the beginning, do you remember, I hugged you when you were a child!"
……
Folks, you say a word, He Xu stood aside and watched the villagers in front of him standing around Hailing and asking for warmth, and he couldn't help but think of his own home, which seemed to be a little less humane than the villagers in front of him.
Thinking of his father, the father who found himself back because he was no longer able to have children, but he still had to pull himself to do a paternity test!
Thinking of this, He Xu couldn't help but sneer, took out Double Happiness from his pocket and silently lit it, hid in the corner and smoked.
After living in Dahe Village for two days, the villagers watched Hai Ling and occasionally made jokes between He Xu and Hai Ling, and it seemed that everyone thought that He Xu was Hai Ling's boyfriend.
He Xu has been smiling and coping, never saying that it is broken, and Hai Ling has no intention of breaking it, the two of them just make a mistake, but when it comes to the problem of accommodation, Hai Ling and He Xu are not ambiguous, and they resolutely sleep separately.
Until the twilight of the next day, today was the departure time agreed by the two, Hai Ling took He Xu to Xiaoshanbao again, and looked at Dahe Village below in a daze.
"Still thinking about your parents?" He Xu asked at this time.
"Will the Eagle 2 project go well?" Hai Ling suddenly turned her head and asked, looking at He Xu's eyebrows with a smile in her eyes.
He Xu was stunned for a moment, nodded immediately, and said, "Of course, what I say must be done." ”
"Thank you."
Hai Ling turned her head to face the mountain village again, quietly staring at the Dahe Village opposite, and fell into quiet thought again.
"Thank you for what I do, this is the Eagle Project, not the Hailing Project, even if I don't have you, I will do it." He Xu also set his eyes on the villages in front of him, how many such villages are there in Sichuan Province and even in the whole of China, he wants to build the roads into the mountains one by one, so that these villagers can get out of the predicament in front of them and have a chance to live a better life.
Hai Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, but then she laughed again, looked at He Xu seriously and said: "I thank you for accompanying me here, sometimes even I am used to forgetting here, it was you who aroused my courage to return here, and thank you for listening to me nagging me so much." ”
"How did you become such a mother-in-law today?" He Xu looked at Hai Ling with a strange expression, and said seriously: "You are not like you like this, I have to consider the issue of returning." ”
"Returns?" Hai Ling raised her eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, don't forget that you promised me a condition!" I'll honor it when I have the next condition in mind! ”
"Hey......"
He Xu sighed and took the lead towards the bottom of the mountain, the moment He Xu turned around, a trace of loneliness flashed in Hailing's eyes, and she glanced back at Dahe Village under the bloody sun, her eyes turned red again, but the corners of her mouth hung a smile.
"Dad, Mom, do you see? I will fulfill your last wishes. ”
After muttering a word, Hai Ling turned around and followed He Xu's footsteps.
The two of them went out of the mountain, and after several tosses and turns, they went to the town, but it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark, and He Xu and Hailing were exhausted all the way.
According to He Xu's meaning, take a taxi back to Beichuan directly, anyway, money is not a problem for him at all, as long as he gives money, can't he find a car?
But Hailing's eyes were drawn to a small bar in the town.
The small bar is called Friends, located in the town that has been dark at eight o'clock in the evening, it seems a little abrupt, the neon lights that are not even two trips are flashing dimly, and at eight o'clock in the evening it is the bar forgetting, and there are more than a dozen drinkers in Friends who are drunk.
Hai Ling's eyes lit up when she saw the bar, stopped, turned to He Xu behind her and said, "Let's go to the bar!" ”
