During the Spring Festival holiday, Fang Wei promised to stay at home with his parents, but he forgot about it. ushered in the send-off, invited to dinner, visited relatives and friends, and was very busy.

Fang Wei attaches great importance to our hometown friends. Communication, the people who should be visited have been visited, the people who should have been seen have been seen, and almost no one has been left behind.

These people are still saying the same things as before, doing the same things as before, and their ideas are still the same as before, and they haven't changed much.

Fang Wei and his friends are still there, but the distance is far away, some people think that Fang Wei has changed, and when chatting, he is polite, not so straightforward, and has a sense of rustiness.

A few days later, the matchmaker came to Fang Wei's house, and after entering the door, he chatted with Fang Wei's parents for a few polite words, then turned the conversation to the main topic and spoke; "The woman replied, they need to think about it, and they will officially reply in a few days."

Fang Wei's parents heard the meaning of the matchmaker's words, and his mother was immediately stunned, the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other with big eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Fang Wei's father couldn't help but say; "It's clear that people don't want to, it's inconvenient to say it clearly, it's not to embarrass us, and these considerations are just a pretext."

The matchmaker was also a little embarrassed and said helplessly; There is still room for the meaning of their words, and it is not that they completely disagree, but it takes time to think about it. If they really mean that, we still don't want to, keep the girl and not marry, and give them a pension. ”

Fang Wei's mother said; "His aunt, you're bothered. Regardless of whether Xiaowei's marriage is successful or not, our whole family will thank you. ”

The matchmaker said; "If this family doesn't work, there are still two families waiting, I don't believe it, Xiaowei's marriage can't be said."

Wang Wei's mother said; "His aunt, people still think our family is poor, and they are afraid that their daughter will be wronged after passing the door, and the woman is right to worry, if our daughter is looking for her mother-in-law, she also wants to find a good condition, right? Now no one can blame it, if you want to blame us, useless old things, we didn't earn the family business for our children, but it affected the children. ”

The matchmaker said; "It's useless to say more now, isn't it that the woman hasn't clearly refused, let's wait and see, I'll go to their house again in a few days, see the specific situation, find out, and strive for a clear answer from the woman."

Fang Wei's father sighed and said slowly; "I think this can only be done like this, just do what his aunt said, how many years have passed, and I don't care about these few days, so let's wait and see."

The father accompanied the matchmaker to talk, and the mother went to the kitchen to quickly prepare a few dishes, and pulled the matchmaker to sit at the table. "His aunt, you can't go in the New Year. You have worked so hard for Xiaowei's marriage, we should also treat you to a light meal. Although the food was not good, it was a matter of our hearts. ”

The matchmaker sat on the stool and didn't speak again, half-pushed and half-obediently, and frequently took the toasts brought by Fang Wei's parents, and drank them until they were fluttering.

…………

The day when Fang Wei was away from home was approaching, and his mother packed several packs of hometown specialties with her son. Mother began to nag again, this bag is for Xiaoli's parents, that bag is for Xiaoli, and one package is for your colleagues.

Mother repeatedly told Fang Wei that the bags of things brought to others must be clearly distinguished and not confused.

The mother is most concerned about her son, said; "When you are out alone, you don't even have a person to ask for warmth, you have to take care of yourself, eat well, don't save money, and pay more attention to your body. Your dad and I are both old and can't keep up with you for a few days, and once we're gone, no one will feel sorry for you anymore. ”

Mother's words, Fang Wei said that it was not a taste in his heart, tears almost came out, and he was uncomfortable for a while.

Fang Wei understood that after leaving home, he would not be able to see his mother for another year, so he was a little relieved, but he had no choice but to go out to work to earn money.

On the day he left, his father insisted on sending his son to the station, but Fang Wei resolutely disagreed, so his father had to give up.

The younger siblings carried a few small bags, the big ones on the bicycles, and went to the train station first.

Fang Wei reluctantly said goodbye to his parents, walked a long way, turned around and saw his parents, standing at the mouth of the alley and waving to him, saying something in his mouth, too far away to hear clearly.

The mother's body was a little shaky, and her white hair was fluttering in the wind, and she looked so weak and old, which was true; 'The mother of the child is worried'.

Fang Wei looked at his mother who was lying in the wind, his emotions were completely out of control, and tears flowed down his cheeks with the sound of choking.

Fang Wei turned around helplessly and walked in the direction of the train station, looking back at the village from time to time, and his parents followed him to the entrance of the village, looking at his son who was far away.

Fang Wei wiped away the tears on his face, tried his best to control his emotions, couldn't stop the steps he had taken, and couldn't bear to look at his parents who were standing in the cold wind to see him off.

Fang Wei came to the corner, and couldn't help but stop, his parents were still looking at him, just when he hesitated, a cold cold wind struck, like a dagger piercing his body, and there was a piercing pain in his heart.

Fang Wei endured the pain of parting, had to be ruthless, took a difficult step, turned his head and walked quickly towards the train station.

Saying goes; "Life and death are the most embarrassing things." Fang Wei's mood was extremely bad, he secretly made a vow not to break out of the world, to swear not to be a person, to do something famous, and to return to his hometown with fine clothes.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was the return rush, and it was difficult to buy train tickets, so Fang Wei found a neighbor who worked at the train station and only bought a station ticket.

Fang Wei brought a lot of things, and there were a lot of people in the carriage, and it was very crowded, not to mention putting things, and there was not even a place to stay.

After several negotiations with others, he finally gave up a small space next to the sink so that he could take a breath.

Fang Wei could only stand aside, although there were more people beside him, but there was one biggest advantage, that is, it was convenient to go to the toilet and he could take care of his own things.

Fang Wei looked at the crowded carriage and thought to himself, don't expect to go to the dining car to eat, thanks to his mother who prepared a lot of food on the road, and a few bottles of water that his sister bought when she got on the bus, she would not be hungry and thirsty, otherwise, she would suffer a great sin along the way.

Fang Wei was groggy and confused for more than 30 hours, and the train finally arrived in Lingnan City.

After Fang Wei got out of the car, he had a big bag hanging on his chest and back, and a few small bags in his hand, he hurriedly trotted away, tired and sweaty, walking a few steps and resting for a while, more embarrassed than fleeing.

Fang Wei finally walked out of the train station and quickly found a step to sit down. After the sweat fell, I took a taxi and returned to my rented place.

Fang Wei opened the door and walked into the room of the ice pot and cold stove, a damp smell came to his face, no one had lived in it for more than 20 days, and the bed, the tableware cover for cooking, the tables and chairs were covered with a layer of dust.

He slapped the bed, and the dust flew all over the room, causing him to sneeze a few times. He hurriedly opened the window, and the dust floating in the room, the damp and unpleasant air, were all released.

Fang Wei walked outside the door and waited for the smell of the room to almost dissipate before returning to the house, removing all the covers and cleaning the floor with water.

He found an old towel, dipped it in water and wrung it out, and changed the water several times before he wiped the dust off the table, chair and bed.

Fang Wei rarely closed his eyes for two days and one night, and when he came back, he picked up the room again, he was very sleepy, lying on the bed, he didn't eat, his face was not washed, and he fell asleep after dark.

When he woke up the next day, it was already afternoon, and Fang Wei's stomach had already begun to scream, informing him that it was time to eat.

In the first month, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and there are not many restaurants open. Fang Wei turned a few streets and walked near a large shopping mall before finding a restaurant that was open.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the restaurant is in the shade. Fang Wei walked in, it was a little dim inside, a fashionably dressed lady, sitting with her back to the door, wiping chopsticks with a tissue.

When the lady saw someone coming in, she glanced back and concentrated on wiping her chopsticks. Fang Wei recognized the lady in front of him at a glance, walked to the dining table, and said; "Li Qianqian, why don't you know me?"

Li Qianqian heard the voice, looked up at the man standing in front of her for a few seconds, and said suddenly; "Fang Wei, it's you, the clothes are so new, like a groom, I really didn't dare to admit it. As soon as the hospital was gone, there was no trace, and I didn't see you again, how are you doing? ”

Fang Wei laughed, sat opposite Li Qianqian, and said; "You're really good at burying people, and you always speak with a mocking tone, which sounds very uncomfortable. Besides, who goes to the hospital if it's okay, of course you can't see me, I ask you, have you gone home for the New Year? ”

Li Qianqian sighed and said; "During the holidays, the hospital is understaffed, and those who drag their families want to go home for the New Year, leaving us singles on duty. I also want to go back to my hometown for the New Year, and I really can't get out of it. ”

At this time, the female owner of the restaurant in her forties, who came over with a smile, looked very quick, took the cup from the table, poured tea for Fang Wei, accidentally slipped her hand, and the tea spilled on the table, she hurriedly wiped it with a rag, looked at Fang Wei and said; "I'm sorry that the water splashed on you and got your clothes wet, right?"

Fang Wei looked down at himself, there were a few drops of water hanging on his clothes, flicked his fingers a few times, and said; "It doesn't matter, splash a few drops of water, and it will dry in a while."

The proprietress was a little embarrassed and asked; "What are you eating?"

Fang Wei looked at Li Qianqian and asked; "Did you order it?"

Li Qianqian said; "I asked for a bowl of shredded pork noodles."

Fang Wei looked at the proprietress and said; "The staple food is just like her, plus two dishes, one vegetarian and one meat."

The proprietress put down the teapot and said; "You pour your own tea, wait a while for the meal, and I'll prepare it for you."

Fang Wei picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, Li Qianqian sighed softly, glanced at him, and pointed to the cup with his finger, Fang Wei noticed that the cup was a little dirty, as if it had been left for a few days.

Li Qianqian said in a low voice; "Wash the cup with tea, pour it again, don't drink it, only use chopsticks."

Fang Wei did so, Li Qianqian took his wet chopsticks, wiped them clean with a paper towel, rearranged them on Fang Wei's cup, and said; "Have you gone home for the New Year?"

Li Qianqian's carefulness made Fang Wei a little grateful, thinking to himself, the hospital staff is different, the water cup is a little dirty, and they can pay attention to it.

Fang Wei said; "Go back, I only arrived yesterday, don't you know, it's not easy to go back to my hometown, it's like a war. The train was full of people when I went home, and it was the rush hour when I came, and there was no place to stand on the train, and I couldn't even drink hot water, let alone eat. I brought a little too much stuff, I was afraid of losing it, I didn't dare to blink my eyes, and I was sleepy and hungry along the way. It's good that you didn't go back, and you didn't suffer that crime, you can be considered to have escaped. ”

Li Qianqian said; "What you said is so evil and scary that I don't even dare to take the train. I've been here for more than two years, and I've never been back to my hometown. My father often wrote to me; The family is very good, don't worry about it, tell me to work hard here, read more professional books in my spare time, and learn to live independently. Alas, I can't go back for the Chinese New Year, and it's not interesting to go home usually, so it's better to make good use of the time, learn more professional knowledge, and prepare to find a job in a big hospital. ”

Fang Wei said; "Your father's heart is quite big, the girl works outside alone, the family is quite relieved, you can think about it."

Li Qianqian said; "If you can't think about it, you can't help it, the actual situation in the countryside, you know, most people's economic conditions are not good, and our family is the same. My dad worked hard in the fields for a year, and he couldn't earn a few dollars, and there are younger brothers and sisters below, and it costs money to go to school and dress. ”

Fang Wei is also a child in the countryside, he understands the plight of farmers very well, most families have three or four children, and life is not easy. Li Qianqian's parents didn't want their daughter to go home, they just wanted to save a few dollars.

The two of them came to the street after dinner, and Fang Wei thanked Li Qianqian for the care she gave him during his hospitalization. While the two were talking, a pedestrian with a gift walked past them and accidentally touched Fang Wei's clothes, and he glanced at the person.

Fang Wei immediately thought of the souvenirs he brought from his hometown, which were still in the rental house, and he had to send them to Xiaoli's family as soon as possible, so he said to Li Qianqian; "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I can't accompany you, I will make a special trip to the hospital to visit another day, are you optimistic?"

Li Qianqian said; "Go do your business, I won't delay your time, let's talk again when we have a chance in the future."

The two shook hands politely, and Li Qianqian said; "Fang Wei, goodbye, I'll go first."

After Li Qianqian finished speaking, she turned around and left, Fang Wei looked at Li Qianqian's back as she gradually moved away, and suddenly smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her hand, and felt an indescribable confusion and apology in her heart.

Fang Wei returned to his residence, took out the box from under the bed, found the dark blue suit that he hadn't worn for a long time, changed out of the dirty clothes on his body, washed his face, specially smeared hair oil, combed his hair with a comb, and carefully tied his tie.

He stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, looked at it for a long time, and found nothing wrong, and then left the room satisfied.

The taxi stopped in front of Xiaoli's door, and Fang Wei carried his things, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Stepping up the steps, standing in front of Xiaoli's house, tidying up the clothes, and then ringing the doorbell.

It was Xiaoli who opened the door, and when she saw Fang Wei in a suit and leather shoes, she was just another person, looking at it excitedly and in surprise, and she was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.

Fang Wei smiled at her and coughed, Xiaoli came back to her senses and hurriedly let Fang Wei into the house.
