"No matter how beautiful an epiphany is, it is also a fleeting brilliance, and a meteor is also a momentary brilliance. Let Xiaoting pass through your heart from now on, you also hope that she can live well, and there is no need for us to disturb our mood again for an undeserved encounter. Li Jun patted Gao Qi on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Yes, it's yours and yours at all times, it's not yours, no matter how much you want to keep it, it's all empty after all, I figured it out, just let everything follow fate." Gao Qi also had a far-fetched smile on his face, maybe he just didn't want Li Jun to worry about him anymore.

"Pack up your things, let's leave after lunch, and see if there's anything else you want to buy more?" Yang Xinli's brother-in-law poked his head in from the door of the shed.

"Brother-in-law is very early!" Li Jun laughed and snorted.

"I didn't sleep well last night, I'm always worried that you will go out and cause trouble again, I was going to leave happily, but I came out like this yesterday, Xiaoqi, are you okay?" There was also a hint of helplessness on the brother-in-law's face.

"Brother-in-law is fine, I drank too much yesterday and made trouble for you." Gao Qi scratched his head with his hand and said embarrassedly.

"I didn't make any trouble, it's just that your crazy appearance yesterday was really scary, and that girl's position in your heart is very important, right?" Speaking of yesterday's Gao Qi, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law was also a little scared on his face.

"No, I just drank too much yesterday, so I was impulsive, who can have a lot of weight in whose heart, and she is not my parents, brothers and sisters." Gao Qi tried his best not to care, but Li Jun knew the forbearance in his heart.

"Do you want to buy some Beijing specialties and bring some for our brothers and sisters, as well as grandma." Li Jun didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he got dressed and went down to the ground.

"Why don't you buy some?" Gao Qi didn't want to mention this matter again, and then Li Jun's words continued.

"You go and wash up, you don't have to eat this last breakfast here this morning, my brother-in-law invites you to eat out." Yang Xinli's brother-in-law also changed the topic.

"Yes, I can't eat breakfast at the construction site, so I have a good meal for my brother-in-law this morning." Li Jun walked out of the shed with a washbasin and an excited face.

The three of them were naked, and they took a basin of water on the edge of the pool and then washed their faces and upper bodies, and the cool water made Li Jun's whole person much more refreshing.

The workers next to them also knew that the three of them were leaving, and said goodbye to them while freshening up, through these forty days of getting along, Li Jun and such rough men also formed a deep feeling, and their simplicity and boldness were also deeply imprinted in Li Jun's heart.

"Li Jun, your little brother is leaving? I'm really reluctant to let you go. One of them, Qiao Weimin, a 40-year-old Shandong person, was the most familiar with them, and now they are the most reluctant to leave.

"Old Joe, you also do a good job, don't know to drink and brag all the time, and when that day you are also a foreman, buddies will follow you again." Gauge wiped his face and joked with Old Joe.

"Haha, I think it's okay, Gao Qi belongs to you kid and has a lot of ideas, go back and study hard, just study hard with your head, you will be productive in the future, I still don't want you to come back to this place, don't forget my old Joe when you become chairman that day." Old Joe also looked at Gao Qi with a playful face.

"No problem, when I become chairman that day, I will definitely make you a prime minister." Gao Qi laughed, and the people next to him also laughed, at this moment, people are all sincere, and there is no mustard at all.

After the three of them finished grooming and followed Yang Xinli's brother-in-law, the four of them walked unhurriedly towards the door of the compound, and walked on the asphalt road covered by the pine and cypress again, Li Jun still had a trace of affection in his heart, and the forty days of living here can be regarded as the first experience in life.

At a distance from the door, I saw Qin Jianjun standing at the door, constantly looking inside, and when he saw a few of them, he tried his best to wave his hand to them.

"What's the matter with Lao Qin?" Gao Qi turned his head to look at Li Jun.

"Just go and see." Saying that, Li Jun sped up his pace.

"Li Jun, your letter." Before getting closer, Qin Jianjun handed a letter to Li Jun, "A very beautiful girl came to the gate of our courtyard early in the morning and said that she was looking for you, saying that she was your sister, I really didn't expect you to have such a beautiful sister, and it is not far from us, Li Jun, does your sister have a boyfriend, do you want to introduce it to your buddy." ”

"Lao Qin stayed on the side." Gao Qi's face changed suddenly, and he glared at Qin Jianjun angrily.

Seeing Gao Qi's performance, Qin Jianjun was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to do, Li Jun took the letter, held it in his hand, and felt a little heavy, as if it was more than just a few letters, put the letter into his trouser pocket, patted Qin Jianjun's shoulder and said: "Old Qin, stand on your post well, my sister, don't think about it, you can't think about it, understand?" ”

Listening to Li Jun's words, Qin Jianjun was even more confused, but after a while, he said with a smile: "I'll just talk about it casually, we are also disciplined, and we can mess with the object." ”

The four of them went out of the compound to find a breakfast stall, asked for fritters, bean curd, and ate slowly, because of the incident just now, Gao Qi didn't want to talk more, and Li Jun didn't want to mention the topic of Xiaoting anymore, several people were eating sullenly, Li Jun talked about funny things several times, but only Yang Xinli echoed, Gao Qi still couldn't get up, and finally just lowered his head to eat.

After eating, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law took them to the bazaar to buy some snacks from Daoxiang Village, and a few people returned to the shed and began to pack up their things.

The mood of parting is also rising, looking at the simple and dilapidated shack here, thinking about the suffering and joy of the past dozens of days, my eyes are a little moist.

Because only the three of them wanted to go back, there was no car to send them, so Yang Xinli's brother-in-law bought bus tickets for the three of them, and another car driver on the construction site drove them to the bus station.

The moment the car drove away from the compound, Li Jun couldn't help but look back at the compound full of pines and cypresses, this place that has experienced many ups and downs has also left his own dozens of days of hard work and happiness, but at this moment, once he leaves, he may not be here for life.

Today's weather is a little cloudy, the car is driving fast, through the open window Li Jun feels that the wind outside is a little cold, this moment feels as if the hot summer is about to pass, and the full golden autumn beckons to them again, but this autumn may be full of white memories for some people.

Cars roared along the wide roads of Beijing, and rows of high-rise buildings were constantly left behind.

Gao Qi and Yang Xinli sat in the back seat and pointed at the city of Beijing, and Li Jun suddenly thought of the letter in his trouser pocket.

Straightened up and pulled the letter out of his clothes pocket, and a few simple Juanxiu words on the simple envelope: "Little Brother Personally Qi" was written by Xiaoting, and Li Jun could see it at a glance.

When he took out the letter, Gao Qi and Yang Xinli's chat also stopped abruptly, and Li Jun could feel the attention of the two of them turn to him.

Tearing the envelope open, Li Jun's hand reached into it and came into contact with some banknotes, Li Jun pulled them out, and at the bottom was a letter and on top was a dozen brand-new banknotes of 50 yuan.

"Jun, throw the money away." Before the letter could be opened, Gauci's roar was heard.

"Qi, don't be impulsive yet!" Yang Xinli comforted him in the back, "Let Xiao Jun see what he said." ”

"How can I say it, it's nothing more than selling myself!" A whimper came from Gauci's voice.

"Qi, don't say that about Xiaoting, she is not such a worldly woman." Li Jun still didn't believe that Xiaoting would do such a thing.

"But you see where the money she wears and uses now comes from, and it wasn't given by Chen Zilong, do you think that if you find such a mixed society, you will have a good future, maybe she was hacked to death or arrested in prison that day, how can she become so stupid now." Gauge clutched his head in distress.

Li Jun put the money back into the envelope, and then pulled the letter out.

Younger brother:

It's been a long time since I've called you, and I'm really happy to see you again.

First of all, apologize to Gao Qi on my behalf, I'm really sorry for him, maybe you will think of me as a bad woman, after what happened last night, no matter who thinks so, I don't blame you, it's all my fault.

Little brother, a lot of things have happened in the six months since I left you, and I can't explain it in one or two sentences, I didn't contact you because I didn't want you to worry, in fact, I have been thinking about you in the past six months. I was really worried about you before you went on vacation, and then I called Jiayi, knowing that you and Yamin have been having trouble for half a year, Jiayi is very worried about you, and my sister is also worried about you, no matter what, the two of you should not be indifferent to each other, the two people who like each other the most, don't pretend not to care, there are a lot of things to say, if you don't say it, you will become used to it even if you once cared.

I also care about Xiao Qi very much, Jiayi said to me that my departure made him very sad, you tell him that I am not her best choice, he is a good boy who values love and righteousness, but I am a bad woman who has gone through vicissitudes, I admit that I am also taking advantage of men, but I will not have a trace of deception towards you, I will not sell myself easily, I also have my bottom line, I only hope that I can do as well as possible in this game of life, and I can succeed and fail.

I am also very pleased to know that you are working in this compound, because I know that my two younger brothers are also constantly tempering themselves, and people can only grow and progress through continuous hardships, and my sister is proud and proud of you.

I paid 500 yuan with the letter, rest assured that this money is clean, and I earned it by my hard work and brain, counting the bonus that my sister gave to the two of you, you can also buy some stationery when you go to school, or go back and invite Jiayi and Yamin to dinner, just be my sister's mind.

I am still working hard for my dream, and now I am studying in a secondary school near here, I am majoring in accounting, because I came late, and I did not attend many classes, so I have to pay twice as much time to study as others, which is very hard and tiring, but I am also very happy to have the opportunity to study.

Finally, let's talk about Brother Long, this should always make it clear to you, I am now his nominal girlfriend, but we are very innocent, so innocent that he didn't even hold my hand, although he is in a hurry outside, but he is also a real temperament. I told him that I was still young, and I hope that when I grow up, he is now taking care of me more like a big brother of mine, little brother, you know my sister's suffering best, maybe only you can understand my heart.

No matter how many words can not express my feelings, I only hope that you and Gao Qi are as sunny and full of vitality as we first met, your fearless eyes at that time also increased my courage to face life, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I hope we can face it together.

Sister: Ting

On the night of August 25, 1995

Li Jun's heart couldn't help but think of the first time he saw himself, Gao Qi and Xiaoting, which face is like a peach blossom, the little girl with sharp teeth, and the time when she laughed and played with herself was like yesterday, but time has passed, and everything has changed in less than a year, from the distance to the end of the world, not only the distance has become far away, but the mentality of people has also completely changed.
