"Is there a ticket? So late? She sorted out the mess.

"Yes, standing ticket." He continued to stare at the floor, trying to see the flowers.

"Why should you?" She felt that he was making a bit of a fuss, didn't he already settle down, and came all the way over.

"I don't want you to cry." He still lowered his head, like a prisoner being interrogated by her, and he answered one sentence after another, and she interrogated him, and he tried his heart.

"Uh...... You've arrived a long time ago, why didn't you call me and ask me to open the door? ”

"I'm afraid you didn't sleep well." In another unexpected reply, she looked at his gaze at the floor, felt his heavy sincerity and heartfelt desire to be nice to her, and quickly looked away from herself.

"Come on in. The soy milk and buns are cold. ”

She took the bun, which was already as cold as a hard stone, looked at the water vapor condensed on the plastic bag, and thought about how he asked for leave with the leader, how he bought tickets, how he packed his things, how he rushed to the station, how he squeezed into the train through the bustling crowd, and how he stood for five hours, survived the exhaustion and sleepiness, walked out of the train station with the starlight, squeezed into the subway in the cold morning, rushed here, and how to buy breakfast and waited outside the door for two hours......

She was melted by the pink emotion and completely fell, without hesitation, without apprehension. In front of him, he didn't have any sweet words, but for her, without hesitation, he crossed most of China overnight, from S City, all the way to W City, and stayed awake all night.

There are still 10 days to go before the Lunar New Year, and there is a lot of joy everywhere. Red lanterns hang on the street lamps on both sides of the road, and lively New Year's songs are played everywhere.

Li Xiaocan leaned on Zhang Gang's arms and looked out the window, feeling the joy of returning home and the excitement of the holiday, but more nervous.

"Baby, what are you thinking?" Zhang Gang asked softly.

"It's nothing, it's just ...... I'm afraid my mom won't agree. Li Xiaocan's eyes lowered a little.

"Your mother probably won't, our two families are not far apart, and you are not married far away, maybe your mother still knows my mother, and the two families are old acquaintances." Zhang Gang stroked the bangs on Li Xiaocan's forehead.

"My mother has high expectations for me......" Li Xiaocan swallowed the next words.

Li Xiaocan's mother is not tall and a typical rural woman. I have never left the countryside in my life, and I am not good at words. However, when it comes to the hard years, it is called a mouthful, saying that there is no rest for a day and a night, like a storyteller, and he is articulate. Li Xiaocan has listened to it no less than 20 times since he was a child, and he memorizes it very well-

"I think back then, family planning was strict, and when I was pregnant with you, they moved the only valuable sewing machine in the house. At that time, your sister was less than a year old, and I had you before my body recovered, but I caught a cold again, coughed for half a month, and I didn't dare to take medicine, and I didn't have money to take medicine, so I dragged it until you gave birth. Later, I coughed so badly that it was like the sound of a saw, and I couldn't sleep my neighbors in the middle of the night. Your father borrowed money from everywhere to see me, but it didn't get better, and then there was no place to borrow the money so I had to continue to delay. I coughed so hard that I thought I was going to die of coughing several times. Who knows if it's not dead. I don't know why I'm so poor! I'm dying of illness and I don't have money to watch! I didn't know your dad was so poor. Even the marriage bed was borrowed. I just got married and slept for three nights. Your dad said that he wanted to return the bed to someone else, and I just found out about this family, poor jingle bell! ”

Li Xiaocan's mother summed up in a solemn tone every time she remembered her bitter suffering, just like the teacher in college who marked the key points before the end of the semester: "So you must find a family with good conditions, so that you don't have to work hard for ten years, don't be poor, and don't even look down on illness!" ”

Zhang Gang, a high school classmate, Li Xiaocan finished high school from the countryside and then went to college in the city, the two families are not far apart, and Zhang Gang is naturally a rural family with a similar background to her.

"It's okay, I'm also a good young man who works hard." Zhang Gang said confidently.

Li Xiaocan didn't know how to answer the call, and couldn't bear to hit him.

Before going home this time, Li Xiaocan had already called home and said it in advance. Li Xiaocan's mother was as happy as if she had picked up money at first: "Girl, someone is chasing, where is the person?" As soon as I heard that the two families were not far away, I was suddenly angry: "What are you looking for in the countryside?!" When the time comes, you will repay the mortgage and car loan for the rest of your life, I have suffered enough of having no money, and you still have to follow my old path! Don't bring it back, I don't recognize this person! ”

"He is very motivated, can endure hardships, and is very good to me, I will bring it back to show you." Li Xiaocan is quite confident.

But the more he listened, the more angry he became: "I thought you had broadened your horizons in a big city, but who knew that you still found a rural one!" After so many years of reading to you, it was in vain. Look at your cousin, who is only three years older than you, has found a house in the city, and has two houses! Two houses are worth millions. The man's bride price was given a large stack, and he gave money when he saw someone, and your aunt smiled from ear to ear every day. People are now working as full-time wives at home, what a blessing! You're only three years apart, why did you find a poor boy? ”

"Being poor now does not mean being poor in the future! He will try. ”

"Oh, marriage is a big deal, you can't pick your eyes away at this juncture, this marriage is a lifetime, jump into this pit, you can't get out!" Mom persuaded bitterly.

"Mom, he's very good to me......" Before he finished speaking, the other head jumped to his feet:

"What a good! Young people, they were all very good at the beginning, I wish I would like to pick all the stars in the sky to you, but after getting married, it will be different, you see your father, I will thank God if you don't yell at me. Why did this kid make you look at it? ”

"I'll bring it back, you can take a look and then talk!" Li Xiaocan was speechless.

"You bring it back, and I won't see it!" …… Honk...... Honk...... The other end has hung up.

A few hours later, the bus arrived at the county seat. Zhang Gang bought a large bag of things in the largest supermarket in the county, and then took a bus back to her house with her.

There are no tall buildings and street storefronts on both sides of the road, only withered yellow trees and long mountains of gray ink.

After nearly two hours of bumpy rides, they finally got off at an intersection. Zhang Gang pulled the suitcase in his left hand, on which there was also a large bag of fruit, a heavy bag on his back, and a few bottles of wine, cigarettes and tea in his right hand. Li Xiaocan was carrying candy and other snack bags in his hand. The two of them moved like snails for 20 minutes before they reached the door of Li Xiaocan's house.
