Out of the bus station, it was a narrow street, and the asphalt collapsed in a large chunk, and when it rained, it became a puddle.

There are several carts parked in front of the bus station, selling tea eggs and boiled corn. The grizzled boss sat in the back of the cart, not even bothering to shout, and only when the bus arrived at the station and the passengers got off the bus could he have some business.

There is also a small restaurant, a few steps to the right, there is a door, the exterior wall is dirty, and the white floor tiles on the ground at the door are black. There is a big sign erected at the door, which is handwritten: 3 yuan for noodles, 5 yuan for copying dishes, and the word "copy" is still a typo.

Smelling the smell of oily smoke from the food, Zhang Nanyan stopped, counting, from the night before yesterday to now, she has eaten a bun, how can she not be hungry?

She looked at the tavern. The proprietress was sitting at the door and snorting melon seeds, and when she touched the skin of her mouth, she spit out the skin of melon seeds, and spit out a piece at the door. There are people eating in the restaurant, and the sound of sucking noodles is so loud that you can hear it from so far away.

Zhang Nanyan's stomach rumbled, and she and the restaurant proprietress looked at each other.

The proprietress spit out the skin of the melon seeds and greeted her: "Let's eat, stir-fry 5 pieces, and the rice is full." ”

Zhang Nanyan was still reluctant to pay five yuan, she lowered her head and walked to a board cart selling corn.

"How do you sell it?"

"Five cents a piece."

Zhang Nanyan took out a dollar: "I want two." ”

"Okay!" The uncle who bought the corn took out a plastic bag and asked for corn.

Zhang Nanyan pointed to the two largest corns in the pot and said, "I want this, and this." ”

"Nizi is too fine, you pick these two and a half on top." The uncle complained and pretended: "Give it to you, I will take it as a loss." ”

Zhang Nanyan took the corn, bowed her head and left.

"Eggs, spiced eggs!"

The tea and egg seller on the opposite side hurriedly shouted.

Zhang Nanyan walked out a few steps and returned.

She bought an egg.

Zhang Nanyan walked to a secluded place and ate a piece of corn, and then she packed the remaining corn and eggs, there was still thirty miles of mountain road to go, so she had to keep it for the road to eat.

After eating corn, her stomach was not hungry, and Zhang Nanyan planned to set off.

She has just arrived in the town, her home is in Xiaoyou Village, and there are still thirty miles away from the town.

Two years ago, the bus went to the village, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and after turning over the car, the driver of the station was not willing to run this line, and finally the station issued a notice, saying that it was because of the small passenger flow along the line, and the bus ran once every three days. At the end of the day, it's good to be able to run two or three times a month. Usually, when people in the village go to the town, they ride motorcycles and bicycles in better conditions, and when Zhang Nanyan was in high school in the town, he ran on two legs.

Zhang Nanyan walked a few steps and her feet hurt. She was still wearing high-heeled sandals on her feet, pink thin strap uppers, and pointed heels, even if they were stained with mud, they looked so good.

But what's the use of looking good? You can't walk the mountain road with these shoes, and your feet will break.

Zhang Nanyan really felt sorry for the clothes, shoes, and textbooks that she had lost in the county dormitory, but when she thought of Boss Lu, she couldn't help but shudder.

Now, the most important thing is to find a pair of shoes quickly.

There is an asphalt road in the county, and along the road, there are shoe stores on the side of the road. Zhang Nanyan went in and asked, and the cheapest shoes cost twenty yuan. She walked out dejected.

Before she knew it, she had walked to the door of the town high school. It was the time of the lunch break, and many students were in and out.

Zhang Nanyan looked at the gate of the school in a daze.

"Swallow!" A female student ran over and grabbed Zhang Nanyan.

"You've signed up, it's been a week since the repetition classes started."

Zhang Nanyan looked at the female student, who was a classmate in her former class, and her name was Wu Xiaocui.

"Xiao Cui, why are you here?"

"Don't mention it, if you don't get in, you can only repeat it for a year." Wu Xiaocui said dejectedly.

"Yanzi, you study so well, if you take the college entrance examination, you will definitely be admitted to university. It's not like me, it's all a repetition. ”

Zhang Nanyan comforted Wu Xiaocui: "This year, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."

"Alas, I see it difficult. I told my dad that it was better to go to work and let my dad scold me severely. Wu Xiaocui complained: "All roads lead to Rome, and you don't necessarily have to go to university." I see that people who go out to work and come back are glamorous and make a lot of money. ”

Zhang Nanyan listened to Wu Xiaocui's relaxed complaints, and felt sad for a while, she wanted to go to school so much, but ...... How she envies Wu Xiaocui.

All roads lead to Rome. But why is there no way out in front of Zhang Nanyan? Is it only a matter of working, getting married, and then embarking on the old path of a rural woman?

As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Nanyan shuddered, she couldn't live like this for the rest of her life!

"Hey, Yanzi, I heard that you went to work in the county seat? The county is prosperous, my dad took me there, your clothes were bought in the county, it's so good-looking, oops, it's high heels! Wu Xiaocui pulled Zhang Nanyan's skirt enviously and looked at it.

Zhang Nanyan suddenly had an idea: "Xiaocui, do you like this skirt and shoes?" I'll trade it with you. ”

"Really? You're a precious dress, isn't it? ”

"It doesn't matter, let's go to your dorm to change."

The two girls held hands and ran to the school dormitory.

Zhang Nanyan changed into Wu Xiaocui's clothes and shoes, and stomped her feet, which was comfortable!

Wu Xiaocui happily gestured with her dress and said, "Swallow, are you falling into a mud pit?" Why so much mud. ”

Zhang Nanyan said embarrassedly: "Why don't I wash you?"

"It's okay, I'll wash it myself. Swallow, when are you going to sign up? Come back to school quickly, we are still in the same class, and I won't be depressed when you come. ”

Zhang Nanyan looked at the familiar dormitory and listened to the jokes of the classmates on campus, she smiled rarely: "Soon, I will be back soon."

Although she was reluctant to leave school, Zhang Nanyan still said goodbye to Wu Xiaocui as soon as she changed her clothes. She left the school, no longer hesitated or stopped, and immediately followed the road to the countryside.

There is still a long way from the town to her house, and this road is not a smooth road, first a country road, and after a short time into the mountains, it is all rugged mountain roads.

The mountain road is very difficult to walk, but it is not difficult for Zhang Nanyan. She has been running in the mountains since she was a child, and when she was in high school in town, she had to rush home every weekend to carry her brother's dirty clothes, clean clothes and the oil cakes that her mother had made for her brother. Every time my mother kept nagging, she thought that she went to school and no one did the work at home. In order to save a dinner and a breakfast, Dad didn't let her stay at home for the night, always saying, "Go back to school, the public will take care of your meal, don't waste the food at home." They didn't care where she had the money to buy a meal ticket, but later it was Teacher Lin who sponsored her, so she ate every meal.

Children in the mountains are born to grow up in the mountains, learn to climb and play on the land, and can walk and carry their younger brothers to collect firewood in the mountains and forests. The rugged mountain road was like walking on the ground at Zhang Nanyan's feet, walking on the way home, with heavy money on her chest and familiar scenery around her, her steps became more and more excited.
