Chapter 244: A train station with only one passenger
At noon, the headmistress kept Xia Xue and Jacques to stay and eat sandwiches.
Seeing the sincerity on the principal's face, Xia Xue and Jacques did not refuse, and calmly stayed in the principal's office. The principal took out three bento boxes from a cloth bag and gave one to Xia Xue and Jacques.
Xia Xue said thank you, opened the lunch box, and ate unceremoniously. Xia Xue secretly sighed in her heart, in China, whether it is a school or a kindergarten, there will be a canteen. But here, even in the cold of winter, you have to eat the lunch box you bring from home in the morning.
Jacques asked Xia Xue bluntly. I heard that when you eat in your hometown, every meal is a big meal, and there will be a lot of big plates on the table, right? I've also been to Chinese restaurants and seen you eating.
Xia Xue said embarrassedly, we are a bit of a waste of time in this regard, and even many times when we talk about business, most of them are done at the wine table. Eating is sometimes not just for eating, but as a means of communication and negotiation.
Jacques nodded as if he didn't understand. I once knew a fellow man of yours who met me on the street one day and asked me if I had eaten. I didn't have a meal at the time, so I was so happy that I thought he was going to invite me to dinner. However, I waited for a long time, and he did not say anything about inviting me to dinner.
When Xia Xue heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, laughing so much that tears were about to flow out.
The headmistress looked at Xia Xue curiously and asked. Xia Xue, didn't that person want to invite Jacques to dinner? If he didn't have the idea of inviting Jacques to dinner, why did he care so much about whether Jacques had eaten or not?
Xia Xue said with a smile. The man asked Jacques if he had eaten, just as a courtesy greeting. This kind of greeting is a very common kind of politeness for us. In some areas, when you see an acquaintance, you will ask each other, "Have you ever drunk soup?" "The person who asks the question, just out of concern and politeness, will not invite the other person to dinner.
Jacques understood, grimaced, and said. It turned out that they were polite, but I was waiting for the man to invite me to dinner! I was still thinking to myself, your fellow citizens are so warm and so kind to me.
Xia Xue suddenly had an idea. She looked at the headmaster earnestly, then at Jacques, and said. Headmaster, Jacques, I sincerely extend an invitation to you now, I want to invite you to my house to eat dumplings tonight, I hope you can come and don't refuse me! After speaking, Xia Xue looked at the two of them expectantly.
Jacques, said in surprise, Xia Xue, you want to invite us to eat dumplings? I've heard of this amazing food, and I've eaten it a few times in Chinese restaurants, but it's so expensive! Jacques looked at the principal inquiringly, and said, Xia Xue really invited us, let's go and cheer her on, okay?
The principal said happily, of course it's good to go to Xia Xue's house to eat dumplings. However, I'm afraid that Xia Xue is too hard, and she is pregnant now! The principal narrowed his eyes, his eyes smiling crookedly, and he looked at Xia Xue kindly.
Xia Xue hurriedly waved her hand and said, I won't work hard, don't worry about me. In our place, there are many women who are very hardworking and will work until the moment of childbirth, even if they are pregnant. There are also pregnant women who will work in the fields until they give birth!
Seeing Xia Xue say this, the principal said with relief, Okay, Jacques and I will go over at night. It's just that we have one more thing to plan in the afternoon, so you can go home early and get ready first. By the way, Xia Xue, we still have to take the train early tomorrow morning to go to the city to buy some things, will you go?
Xia Xue's eyes widened in surprise and asked. Is there also a train station? When I came, I didn't meet you.
Jacques said mysteriously that there is only one train line at this railway station, and that trains depart in the morning every day and come back at dusk. Moreover, there is only one regular passenger on this train, which is a high school student in our town. Jacques, looking at Xia Xue with a curious face, said. Xia Xue, in a while, I'll take you to the train station to have a look, and I'll send you home by the way.
Xia Xue said politely, I really want to go to see this small station, but I can go home by myself. You and the principal still have important things to discuss, so you must rush back to school early!
The principal smiled happily, it doesn't matter, Xia Xue, you can let Jacques take you to the train station for sightseeing. You've probably never seen a deserted train station like this. The thing we're going to discuss in the afternoon is about little Evan in our town. This little child, suffering from an incurable disease, probably has not been around for a few days, and he can't even wait for Christmas. But little Evan usually looks forward to Christmas day the most, so the people of the town plan to make Christmas come early.
Xia Xue asked suspiciously, Christmas has a date, can I still make an appointment for airborne landing in advance?
Jacques smiled mischievously, blinked, and said that the townspeople were going to create a Christmas for little Evan themselves. We are in the church, we have already discussed the specific plan, and God will definitely prepare and arrange for our love! In the afternoon, the principal and I agreed on the specifics again, and then we started to act. The day after tomorrow, our town will usher in an airborne Christmas in advance!
Xia Xue understood. The kind people in the town don't want little Evan to leave with regrets. The corners of Xia Xue's eyes moistened, and she said, I want to make more dumplings tonight, and I want to send some to Little Evan's family. Maybe little Evan will like to eat my dumplings too.
Jacques looked at Xia Xue appreciatively and said. Mr. Xia, you are really a kind-hearted person, we thank you for little Evan and his family! Little Evan, who now lives in the town's hospital. He had been treated in a large hospital outside, but the doctor said that he could be called by God at any time, so he returned to town.
Xia Xue's mood suddenly became heavy. The little Evan she had never met touched her heart. Xia Xue had eaten, said goodbye to the principal, and followed Jacques to the town's train station.
At the foot of the mountain, Xia Xue saw a lonely track from a distance, lying lonely on the lonely earth. Overgrown with weeds and tall wild plants, a grey mottled bus shelter sits in the middle.
There really is only one train line at this station. Imagine the ethereal whistle that only resounded in the early morning and dusk of the sky. The only passenger was a high school girl from a small town.
Only that girl often walks into the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the small station, from the awakening of all things, the singing of birds and flowers, to the cold wind and snow. In the vast world, a rumbling train stopped for her alone.
Oh my God, I envy that high school girl, this scene is really like a romantic and eternal agreement! Xia Xue clasped her hands together, and her two big smart eyes looked longingly at the railroad tracks in the distance. Jacques, if the train driver had been a handsome young man, maybe the high school girl might have fallen in love with him! Xia Xue suddenly turned her head, looked up at Jacques, and said with a focused expression.
Jacques looked up at the blue sky, laughing. Xia Xue, you're a love supremacist, right? You are very romantic and have feelings, you must be a beautiful woman with a story!
Xia Xue's eyes were full of fascination, and her thoughts seemed to have flown away. She continued to say obsessively. In this world, there is a post station just for you. In the wilderness of the endless desert of life, there is a train that drives time over the red dust, just to carry the joys, sorrows and sorrows of your own person. Shouldn't you be moved by this train? Wouldn't that train driver who has been with you for many years leave the deepest impression on your life?
Jacques looked at Xia Xue with tenderness on his face, and suddenly felt that the oriental woman in front of him was becoming more and more cute and charming. His two deep eyes radiated a strange brilliance. For him, this kind of look has been absent for many years.
Xia Xue, if I hadn't broken a leg, I thought, I would definitely fall in love with you! But now, I don't dare to let myself have this thought, or rather, I can't let it go! Jacques said emotionally.
Xia Xue's pure eyes flashed with a childlike light. Jacques, the mutilation of a limb, is not a defect, nor is it the most terrible. The saddest thing is the mutilation and destruction of a person's heart. Your heart is full of sunshine, infinite love and great power, and you are a truly sound person!
Jacques's hair, blown up by the cold wind, stood on end in the wind. Hot tears flowed down his handsome face. He said solemnly that this warm little story of the train station does not seem to be over, just like a life without a follow-up. As long as there is hope, life should go on, no matter what awaits us on the road ahead.
Xia Xue nodded in agreement, looked at Jacques happily, and said. Jacques, you are the most handsome, there will be many girls who are secretly infatuated with you! In the future, you will also have your own baby, we can have a picnic together, and I can make a lot of dumplings for the children to eat!
Jacques laughed like a child, stretched out his little finger, and hooked it to Xia Xue. Come, a word is a certainty, hang on the hook, and it will not change for a hundred years! This is what I learned from the plot of the movie, and you seem to like to like this to promise something a hundred years from now.
Xia Xue was amused by Jacques's words. Let's go to the train station and have a look. Then, I'll go home and make dumplings for you.
Jacques moved his two long legs and walked forward with vigor and calmness. Xia Xue was slightly left behind by him, looking at his strong back.
To be honest, if it weren't for hearing that Jacques was missing a leg, Xia Xue really wouldn't have seen it. Jacques' stride, full of strength and determination, you can't tell which leg has been injured.
