Chapter 2 Separation of youth
After a few days of work, Lin Xiaoluo sighed helplessly, turned his head and devoted himself to the army of job seekers.
When I saw CY's recruitment information on the Internet, Xiao Luo struggled for a long time, and finally decided to give up.
After all, it is one of the best enterprises in the country, so why should a person like her who has no experience and no achievements get in?
As a result, after submitting her resume the next day, she involuntarily walked into CY's office building, and the person in charge of recruiting was a middle-aged man with glasses.
The man glanced up at Xiao Luo, his fingers flipped up and down a few times, and a pair of narrow eyes behind the lenses shrewdly glowed.
"Lin Xiaoluo, only twenty-one years old?"
It's a contemptuous tone.
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoluo to answer, the man had already thrown the thin piece of paper onto the smooth tabletop, and the whole person leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and opened his mouth more lightly, "Heh~CY is not so easy to enter...... We have understood the basic situation, and Miss Lin can go back and wait for the notice. ”
Again, such a no-trace refusal.
Lin Xiaoluo's expression froze, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at the middle-aged man in front of him, "I'm sorry." ”
Then obediently closed the door.
Just at the beginning of July, City C was already as hot as a big steamer, the fiery sun hung behind the high glass wall, and the scorching light illuminated the sky without a trace of clouds.
Standing on the side of the road that was almost smoking, Xiao Luo fanned back and forth with his hands, his fair face was unconsciously dyed with a layer of red, and the broken hair on his forehead was also wet and sticky to his skin, sticky as if he had just been dehydrated.
Fortunately, the traffic in C city is developed, and the bus arrived in a few minutes.
Passing through an intersection, the bus stopped steadily in front of the narrow asphalt road.
A black sports car sped from the other end of the road, its smooth body like a nimble fish shuttling in the golden light, brushing the bus with a turn to drive the hot air, and the oncoming wind made Xiao Luo instinctively squint his eyes.
There was a man sitting in the sports car, and just by looking at it, Xiao Luo concluded that it was a beautiful man.
With neat short hair, a well-defined side face, a simple white shirt, and a pair of beautiful hands on the steering wheel, they are white and slender, and the top is still shining with white light.
There has always been a clear distinction between the rich and the poor, and although the area where Xiao Luo lives is not too remote, it is a well-known old town, with dilapidated houses and poor conditions, and I heard that it is about to be demolished.
After living here for three years, Xiao Luo has basically never seen a luxury car, which is strange.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Luo looked up and saw a woman walking slowly under the plane tree.
"Mom!" Xiao Luo walked briskly beside the woman in the aisle, dangling the woman's arm like a child, "Why do you think of your poor daughter today?" ”
Mother Lin glanced at her with disgust, and said with a smile: "Today, Sister Wang's son comes back, and I will be idle." ”
Xiao Luo took out the key and opened the old security door, and turned around and pouted to Mother Lin dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't I hear that Sister Wang had any sons?" ”
"Her son is a busy man." Mother Lin put down her handbag and walked to the living room to pour a glass of water, "I heard that it seems to be the CEO of a large company, and he has great ability." It's just that I'm so busy that I can't see anyone all day long, so it's strange and lonely to let Sister Wang stay at home alone. ”
"Yes, yes," Xiao Luo threw off his slippers and slumped on the small sofa, his tone quite helpless, "You felt that her home was lonely, so you ran to accompany her, abandoning your daughter who was also lonely and lonely." ”
"Poor mouth." Mother Lin put down the glass of water and glared at her, turned around and went into the kitchen, and sighed as if she remembered something before leaving: "Her son is really handsome, but it's really a bit like when your father was young." ”
"My dad......" Xiao Luo shrank in the corner of the sofa and was rarely silent.
There is such a sentence on the Internet to describe the best state of life: parents are alive, children are complete, husband and wife are loving, and there is money in hand. But no matter how hard she tried later, this state could not be reached.
When Xiao Luo was four years old, Lin's father died in a car accident.
Perhaps it was because human beings are naturally sensitive to the most sad things, and when she was young, her impression of her father was only a large bleak white and her mother's heart-rending cry.
Later, standing in front of her father's tombstone, she vaguely remembered the picture of a tall man holding her on his shoulder to play and play, and at that time she had only one affection for this man who was not very familiar: admiration.
Just like a mother's love for her father, blind but taken for granted.
Not satisfied with Mother Lin's "rebellion", Xiao Luo muttered to the busy back of the kitchen: "Can he compare to my father?" ”
*
After dinner, Xiao Luo took the initiative to take over the work of washing dishes, and Mother Lin cast an appreciative look and entered the bedroom with a smile.
"Going to bed so early?" Xiao Luo shook off the foam on his hand and poked half of his head out of the small kitchen.
Mother Lin took out the big box under the bed, hesitated for a long time before opening the lid, "Don't sleep ......"
After a long silence, Lin Mu slowly spoke again: "Xiao Luo, I want to travel tomorrow...... ...... to Tibet" spoke very slowly, in a soft tone, as if he was discussing with her, but when he listened carefully, he was determined that he could not refute it.
Xiao Luo's hand slipped and almost dropped the foamed plate, "Mom, are you kidding?" ”
When I graduated from elementary school, a girl in Xiao Luo's class asked for leave to travel, and when she came back, she brought a lot of small shells as gifts to her classmates.
What Xiao Luo received was a small scallop, the milky white shell placed in the open palm like an unfolded peacock's tail, and like a small fan with delicate patterns. During that time, Xiao Luo often stood in the sun with a shell in his hand and played carefully, watching the scallops emit a pearl-like white light, and his little face was full of envy.
After Mother Lin knew her thoughts, she hugged her daughter with red eyes, and said that her mother was not good, and since then she has put away the shells, and no longer shows a trace of envy in what she can't get.
Because she knew how difficult it was for her mother to support the family alone, she couldn't do anything, so she had to try not to cause trouble.
And now the person who can even bargain for a vegetable in the vegetable market actually proposes the idea of traveling?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Mother Lin carefully folded the thread of her clothes and considered her tone, "Mom is old and wants to go home to see." Although I have settled down in other places over the years, with your father and you, I always feel that there is an empty place in my heart. This time I went back and counted a wish. ”
The incandescent light, which was not too bright, fell on the woman who was buried in her clothes, and Xiao Luo could easily see the silver threads in her mother's hair and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes from a small living room.
Not only was he infected by his mother's words, but he was also moved by the scene in front of him, Xiao Luo's nose was sour, "Why don't I go with you...... I'm not at ease alone. ”
"Mom isn't old enough to get that old, and besides, aren't you looking for a job? Just stay in City C, if you are doing well, I can play at ease. ”
When she was a child, her mother adopted a "free-range" policy for Xiao Luo, and as long as she didn't go too far in life and study, she would not be restricted. After going to college, my mother simply went to work in a domestic service center and was often too busy to go home, and she had to study and find various part-time jobs.
Now that his mother is going to travel alone, although Xiao Luo is worried, he still has a supportive attitude, "Well, then I will stay in City C to find a job." However, if you encounter anything in the Tibetan area, you must contact me as soon as possible, and your daughter is on call 24 hours a day. ”
Mother Lin was amused by her serious appearance, "Okay, well, listen to you." ”
Mother Lin booked a train ticket for the next morning, in order to prevent missing the time, she deliberately got up early in the morning, and it was early in the morning when she arrived at the station.
The morning sun rises, and the warm sun shines through the white clouds, dyeing the misty city with a layer of carmine, which is like a beautiful and elegant picture against the light blue background.
There are not many people at the station, and most of them are middle-aged people with luggage, all of them are tired and hurried.
Occasionally, you can see couples hugging each other tightly on the platform, and the young faces are inseparable and lingering.
Xiao Luo looked at his mother beside him, and his heart was soft, "Mom, don't just save money over there, just buy whatever you want." Also, be sure to pay attention to your health, and don't participate in dangerous events. Also, I have to call a lot when I'm not around......"
"Okay, okay...... Mother Lin looked at her chattering daughter with a crooked smile, "Mom will take care of herself, don't worry." ”
"En" Xiao Luo answered, and wanted to continue, but the female voice broadcast at the station suddenly sounded.
Mother Lin took the luggage with one hand, rubbed her hair with the other, and said gently: "Mom's bracelet fell at Sister Wang's house, you have time to get it, the address is on the table in the living room." Okay, let's get it here. ”
"Yes." The weight on his hand was gone, and his heart seemed to be empty, looking at his mother's back, Xiao Luo opened his mouth but didn't call out.
It's just going out for a trip and she's coming back in a short time, what is she sad about?
"Luoluo...... Mother Lin, who hadn't walked a few steps, suddenly turned back and hugged Xiao Luo, who was still in a daze, "In the days when Mom is away, you must take care of yourself, and don't be reckless when you encounter things." And ......" The voice suddenly lowered, as if talking to herself, Mother Lin closed her eyes and whispered: "Mom will always love you." ”
Seven years ago, the neighbor moved, and the young Xiao Luo cried because she was reluctant to let the little boy throw himself into her arms.
"Mom, why does anyone have to leave?"
"Mom, you must not leave Luoluo in the future."
In the face of childish questions, she can only be silent.
The heart is drifting together, and the life is hard and hard. Whether you go or live, you are a dreamman.
Seventeen years ago, she couldn't stop the man she loved the most from leaving; Seven years ago, she couldn't heal the pain caused by her daughter's parting; Today, she still can't escape the shackles of parting.
In this world, efforts can solve many problems, but they can never prevent life and death from parting.
Luoluo, do you blame your mother?
Holding back the grief in her heart, Mother Lin quickly turned around and left while holding the tow bar, and two lines of tears slipped from her already reddened eyes:
Goodbye, my dear daughter
I hope that you will be happy and safe in the future
