Chapter 22 Peach Blossoms Still Smile in the Spring Breeze
The car drove to the entrance of the town, and the big banyan tree was still there, but it had grown bigger and denser.
Li Feng stopped and said with some sadness: "Back then, under this big banyan tree, I was separated from Lan Lan here. ”
That year, as Li Feng grew older, for his education, his parents were going to take him back to the city to study in elementary school. That day, at the entrance of this village, when her parents took Li Feng's hand and left, Lan Lan ran out of the town crying.
"Brother Fengfeng, don't go!"
She ran while crying, accidentally tripped over a rock, and fell to the ground.
Li Feng's mother hurriedly went over to help her up, seeing that her face was full of snot and tears, and the dust on the ground stained her face, she couldn't help but feel distressed and funny, and helped her wipe away her tears, "Lan Lan, Brother Feng Feng is going to study in the city, will I come back to see you after the holidays in the future?" ”
"I don't want Brother Feng Feng to leave me, I want to play with Brother Feng Feng."
Li Feng's mother was also helpless, and asked Li Feng to come over and say goodbye to Lan Lan, and she and her father were waiting in the distance.
"Fool." Li Feng said to Lan Lan, "It's not that I won't come back, I'm just going back to the city to study, and it's inconvenient for my parents to take care of me here." ”
"But...... But I always feel that I will never see Brother Fengfeng again. Lan Lan cried.
"No, I will do what I promised you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then you said that if we are going to get married when we grow up, does that also count?" Lan Lan asked innocently.
"Count."
Hearing Li Feng's affirmative answer, Lan Lan burst into tears and laughed.
Li Feng and his parents walked farther and farther, and Lan Lan kept reluctantly watching their backs under the banyan tree until they disappeared into a small dot.
This farewell is eternal, Li Feng never returned to this town, even when his grandmother died, he couldn't come back to see his grandmother off when he was studying in college.
After listening to Li Feng's story, Zhang Han was a little moved, "I didn't expect you to have such an experience, this is the so-called childhood sweetheart!" ”
"I don't have this kind of life experience as you, I have lived in a big city since I was a child, and since I was sensible, I either went to cram school or learned to play the piano and learn to paint every day."
Li Feng smiled and said, "Yes! The city is full of high-rise buildings, every house is closed, and neighbors do not get along with each other, unlike neighbors like the countryside. ”
"And there are many happy things for country children, picking wild flowers in the spring, catching fireflies and fishing in the summer, harvesting rice and picking wild fruits in the autumn......"
Li Feng turned on the stereo of the car, and a song "Catching Loaches" sounded.
♪ The pond was full of water, and the rain stopped
♪ The mud on the edge of the field is full of loaches
♪ Every day I wait for you, waiting for you to catch loaches.
♪ Big brother, let's catch loaches.
……
Li Feng said to Zhang Han: "I like this song very much, because this is a true portrayal of my childhood, I really took Lan Lan to catch loaches when I was young." ”
Zhang Han pursed his lips, "I'm really a little jealous of that Lan Lan when you say that, I want to see what that goddess in your heart looks like now." ”
Li Feng laughed, "I came back to visit relatives this time to find my childhood memories by the way, I have no other thoughts, you are the most beautiful in my heart, no one can compare." ”
"Flim tongue, duplicity." Zhang Han scolded on his lips, but he was beautiful in his heart.
The town next door is dozens of kilometers away, but the road is very easy to walk, Li Feng drove all the way to the point and arrived quickly, he looked for the address said by the third uncle's son.
This town is bigger and more prosperous than the town where Li Feng's grandmother's house is located, no wonder Lan Lan's parents want her to marry here. Along the way, Zhang Han was imagining the scene after Li Feng and Lan Lan met, would they be surprised and hugged each other and cried? Thinking of this, Zhang Han's heart was full of feelings.
"No. 127 Chengguan Road." Li Feng said, "It's right in front, let's park the car here!" ”
The two got out of the car and walked over, No. 127 is a three-story building facing the street, the first floor is a large department store, and the second and third floors are occupied. It's afternoon now, there are not many people on the street, Li Feng walked to the door of the supermarket and was thinking about whether to go in, Zhang Han pushed him, "What are you hesitating about, haven't you been looking forward to this day for a long time?" ”
Li Feng walked into the supermarket with apprehension, there was no one in the supermarket, only a cashier girl in her twenties was checking the goods, and when she saw Li Feng and them coming in, she hurriedly greeted: "Two welcome, please take a look at what you need." ”
"Excuse me, girl, is your boss lady here?"
The girl was stunned, she looked Li Feng up and down, and felt that this person was not familiar, he was a foreigner, so she said coldly: "The proprietress went to buy the goods, not at home." ”
Listening to the girl's answer, Li Feng was slightly disappointed, at this time, a man and a woman ran in from outside the door, the little girl was about six years old, with two small pigtails, and the boy was about three or four years old, with a small bald head.
The boy ran in front with a big windmill toy, and the girl chased after him and shouted, "Wait for me, you troublemaker, see if I catch you and show you the color." ”
The cashier girl saw the little boy in front, picked him up, and said with a smile, "What bad things did Xiaobao do again?" ”
"Auntie, my brother broke the bowl again just now." My sister complained.
"Oops! After a while, I will let my mother know that I will be spanked again. ”
Li Feng saw this six-year-old girl next to him, also with curly hair, and her face was seven or eight points similar to Lan Lan when she was a child, and guessed something, "This is the daughter of the proprietress, right?" He asked the cashier girl.
"Yes." The girl replied indifferently.
"Is my uncle looking for my mother? My mom was ...... "The innocent little girl saw someone looking for her mom and was trying to tell him where her mom was.
"I'm restocking, not at home." The cashier took the little girl's words.
"Oh! That bothered. Zhang Han took Li Feng's hand and walked out of the supermarket.
"Don't you see? That girl is wary of you and doesn't want to tell the truth. Zhang Han said.
"I know, but I don't understand why that's happening."
"Maybe it's because we're outsiders, and as soon as you enter the door, you open your mouth to find someone, and you don't buy anything, and people don't know you, so you're on guard." Zhang Han said.
Li Feng thought about it, he went back to the car to get paper and pen, wrote down a paragraph, and then went back to the supermarket and handed it to the cashier girl, "I took the liberty to disturb just now, since the proprietress is not here, you can give this to her when she comes back." ”
The girl accepted the note and looked at Li Feng suspiciously until he left.
