The 3 p.m. wet market is deserted compared to the morning market, but there is also a precursor to the lively evening market. Shi Jiaojiao and Xia Lei walked hand in hand in the aisle of the market, both of them were a little groggy. A small cart full of vegetables passed by, almost tripping Shi Jiaojiao, and the master of the cart looked at the two girls and laughed: "Be careful when you walk, little girl!" Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly picked up a cabbage that rolled out and sent it back to the car, apologizing repeatedly. Ahh Xia Lei held her face and regretted.

At the vegetable stall, Shi Jiaojiao picked up another bundle of leeks when she had already bought a handful of leeks, and was stopped by Xia Lei, "I can't eat so much after buying it!" Shi Jiaojiao went to pick potatoes again, and said casually: "I don't have time to buy vegetables when I go to work on Monday, so I have more tun." When the time comes, you can get food when you're home alone. Xia Lei returned a handful of leeks and said, "Don't buy so much, I'll leave tomorrow, there are still a lot of things to do when I go back to town!" Shi Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Xia Lei for a while, then nodded, "Yes, even if Grandma A Qian and Uncle Fang are here, the house is so big and busy enough." ”

After buying the vegetables, Xia Lei felt uncomfortable taking the bus, and besides, there were only two stops away, so she proposed to walk back. Shi Jiaojiao also wanted to move her hands and feet, so the two of them carried a shopping bag and walked back slowly. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the roadside acacia trees are about to bloom, and a few pink flowers like velvet fans can occasionally be seen in the dense leaves. "It's fragrant on this road during the flowering season! The road can be dyed red overnight. Shi Jiaojiao looked up, then looked at Xia Lei and said, "I heard from the old man that someone swept these flowers and sent them to the temple to make incense." Xia Lei also looked up.

"How did you get back?" Shi Jiaojiao suddenly asked, "After you expose them, this will be regarded as tearing your face." The documents and everything are in your mother's hands, and that Shao Jiyun is just an international student like you, can he help you get out alone? "Of course not." Xia Lei smiled mysteriously inexplicably, "I have someone to help me." "Who?" Shi Jiaojiao asked curiously. Xia Lei simply sat down by the flower bed on the side of the road, beckoning to Shi Jiaojiao, "Sit and rest for a while." ”

The lie of the knife company was exposed, and the 30,000 euros that Xia Lei lent them for turnover before also became a fraud, and the middle-aged man had to show his true colors: the woman did everything possible to bring her daughter to Germany, but it was a plan carefully arranged with her lover to make money. Xia Lei's biological mother learned that she had inherited an inheritance, and immediately discussed with her German uncle, taking advantage of her daughter's desire for blood relatives, in a completely unfamiliar environment, hoping that after a few years of imperceptibility, she could quietly get the supermarket she inherited.

Xia Lei wanted to return to China immediately, but it was too late, they confined her in the house, kept a watchful eye on her at all times, and coerced and lured her to contact her family every day, asking her to announce that she would hand over the management of the supermarket to her German uncle. "My mom is crazy, she wants to threaten my dad with me." Xia Lei sneered, "I told her at the time that if you spread this to the domestic adults, you won't get anything but go to prison." When the woman heard this, she turned her head and forced Xia Lei to hand over the supermarket. Xia Lei shook her head embarrassedly, "She was fascinated by that man, and she gave whatever that man wanted!" Even though I was her biological daughter, she didn't care. ”

They cut off Xia Lei's contact with the outside world, and seemed to want to use delaying tactics to make the helpless Xia Lei collapse on her own. "Eating and drinking did me no harm." Xia Lei picked a leaf casually, lowered her head and said, "It's too torturous." At that time, my visa was about to expire. Shi Jiaojiao grabbed Xia Lei's hand and exclaimed, "You won't be repatriated, right?" Xia Lei rolled her eyes, "How is it possible!" Those two are not fools. Shi Jiaojiao shrank her head and grinned, "I don't know much either!" ”

"It was a relative at home who brought me out." Xia Lei said, Shi Jiaojiao nodded as if she didn't understand, "The master turned out to be a relative...... Xia Lei suddenly came over, pursed her lips and smiled: "Guess who it is, you also know it!" There's a lot of contact. "Huh?" Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, "Your relatives, have contact with me......" After thinking for a long time, Shi Jiaojiao patted her head, "It's your cousin, right?" This time it was Xia Lei's turn to be surprised, "Your brain is changing too fast." Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do, I know such a relative of your family." I really didn't expect that at that time, he would be a gentleman who could only bully people. ”

"Huh? He? …… Haha, I see! Xia Lei stroked her palms and laughed, "I'll just say, you can't guess." Shi Jiaojiao's eyes widened, "It's not him?" Xia Lei pursed her lips and shook her head, "Guess again." Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyelids and thought for a while, then shook her head and gave up, "I can't guess." I know this one of your relatives. Xia Lei put her arm around Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder, blew on her cheek, and said narrowly: "Not only that, you know this person better than me." "Shi Jiaojiao is no longer patient," love to say or not. ”

"Your primary school homeroom teacher, Tang Jianyu." Xia Lei tilted her head and stared at Shi Jiaojiao, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shi Jiaojiao's eyes followed her head, running at high speed several times, and she almost roared, "He's your relative?!" Xia Lei blinked and nodded. Shi Jiaojiao's ears quickly turned red, pointed at Xia Lei, and stammered when she spoke, "How, how is it possible, you didn't tell me!" Xia Lei shrugged, "You didn't ask me either." Besides, I call him cousin, but you didn't pay attention to it. Things from a long time ago quickly flashed through Shi Jiaojiao's brain, and she muttered, finally holding back a sentence, "What the hell is going on." ”

"Actually, the relationship is quite far away, it seems that my grandfather and his grandfather are brothers, I haven't figured it out until now...... Xia Lei replied, "We are in the south, his family is in City B, sometimes he will meet when he goes back to his hometown to visit relatives." In the uncle's orchard, he was a college student with a group of little children, and he was chased all over the mountain! Xia Lei understood Shi Jiaojiao's stunned expression as a desire for knowledge, and continued: "Although the age difference is quite large, he is still a nightmare for all the children of the same generation in the family, and the adults use him to spur us."

didn't know what he was like at that time, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but come to his senses. Xia Lei changed her tone, "Who would have thought that he would be a rural teacher!" Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyelids and blurted out, "As long as he is willing, the rural teacher should be better than others!" Xia Lei smiled meaningfully, "Yes, yes, there is no you without him." In your eyes, he's afraid that it's okay to ...... anything" Shi Jiaojiao was poked into the secret matter, and quickly changed the topic, "I mean, how did you get out of danger." ”

An old woman walked slowly with a basket on her shoulder, and Xia Lei was stunned for a while, as if it took a lot of effort to remember this matter.

Half a month after going to the bakery together, Shao Jiyun drove the old Ford again at the street entrance of Xia Lei's residence. This time he came uninvited and went up to the door. At that time, Xia Lei was alone in the attic, and heard someone downstairs say to her mother: "Hello Auntie, I am Xia Lei's classmate, she borrowed me a book and asked me to get it today." ”

Xia Lei quickly took a copy of "The Kite Runner" on the desk and ran downstairs, and appeared at the door before her mother prevaricated others and left. The woman looked at the boy with twinkling eyes, turned her head and said with a dry smile: "You are at home, you thought you were going out in the morning!" Xia Lei didn't answer her mother's words, walked straight to the door, handed the book out and said, "Thank you, the book is very beautiful." Shao Jiyun lowered his eyes and stared at the cover, took the book and said: "I still have several copies of his books, if you like it, you can go to my house to get it, and I will send you back when the time comes." ”

Sure enough, before Xia Lei could answer, the woman stepped forward and squeezed between the two and said, "Thank you, classmate, Xia Lei has been sick recently, so you need to have a good rest." Xia Lei nodded expressionlessly, and answered, "I'll call you and ask you if you're ready." His eyes didn't leave Shao Jiyun's face for a moment. As soon as Shao Jiyun returned to his car, he opened the book "The Kite Runner", and sure enough, a page was folded and a string of mobile phone numbers were written.

After Tang Jianyu received Shao Jiyun's call, he rushed to the local area the next day, just as he was about to return to China at that time. "My mom doesn't recognize this cousin at all." Xia Lei said, "But my cousin respectfully called her aunt!" After Tang Jianyu took Shao Jiyun into the house, he sat on the sofa and got straight to the point, "Lei Lei graduated, I was studying nearby and was going back to China, and I was called by my uncle to be a porter!" The mother rubbed her hands nervously, saying something "reluctant to daughter" in her mouth, and kept looking at the door in her eyes, she was waiting for her fiancé to come and support her.

Seeing this, Tang Jianyu asked Xia Lei, "Why, didn't you tell your aunt about tonight's flight?" Xia Lei answered, "I originally wanted to say goodbye to them when I put away my things. Tang Jianyu raised his hand, "Then go and pack your luggage." Xia Lei turned her head and asked the woman, "Mom, where is my passport and degree certificate?" The woman avoided Tang Jianyu's gaze, and wanted to delay time, Tang Jianyu stood up, "I'll call the country first, you go up and clean up, hurry up, the driver is still waiting outside." ”

"Why don't you wait for your uncle to come back and let him take you to the airport, or discuss it again, don't go in such a hurry......," the woman held a leather bag in her hand, and did not give up her good offices. Xia Lei glanced back at Tang Jianyu and Shao Jiyun, took the leather bag, took out all the main items that belonged to her, returned the bag to the woman's arms, and said softly: "Mom, it's all over." As he spoke, tears fell without warning.

In the rearview mirror of the old blue Ford, the biological mother is wearing red and black fashion, and her graceful but slightly old figure gradually becomes smaller, and finally disappears into the gray sky. Xia Lei leaned back in her chair, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes to her ears. "I wish she could leave that man." Xia Lei said, and neither of the two people in the front seat spoke. "I can't handle it either." Xia Lei muttered to herself again.

On the way to Frankfurt, there was only one old blue Ford on the road in the wilderness. At ten o'clock in the evening, the sun appeared, and although it did not break through the clouds, its golden light shot out like a sharp sword. Shao Jiyun drove, Tang Jianyu watched the road, and Xia Lei slept heavily. When both the body and mind are freed from some kind of confinement, there is indeed a short, irresistible tiredness.
