Chapter 65: The First Time I Took the Train
After our relationship has progressed substantially, everything falls into place. I successfully moved into Yaoyao's small home and became the male owner of the family.
From now on, we no longer have to look at each other through the window, no longer have to send messages to tell about our lovesickness, and no longer have to worry about whether the other party has taken care of us.
However, this kind of unashamed cohabitation life has also brought me great trouble.
Accustomed to living alone, I always forget that I am not alone now, often forget to tell her my whereabouts, and often make her worry about me.
After repeated teachings and several warnings to no avail, she also gave up. She could only take the initiative to take the responsibility of tracking my whereabouts, and no matter where I was, she would ask in advance.
Of course, when two people are together, there are some small bumps, and small contradictions are inevitable.
For example, I can never tell which towel is for washing my face and which is for bathing, because I always use one towel.
For example, I love to eat meat, almost no meat, and as long as I have meat, I hardly eat anything else. Yaoyao, on the other hand, hopes that I can eat more balanced and healthier.
For example, when I wash clothes, I always put all the clothes together and wash them. What dark and light colors are separated, underwear and jackets are separated, none of them apply to me.
For example, I either go bare-chested when I sleep, or I put on a ball suit and put the pajamas that Yaoyao bought for me in the closet to dust.
For example, when I go home, I don't like to change my slippers, and I like to throw away the shoes and socks that I take off, and she cleans them up for me every time.
......
In short, the days when two people are together have both the sweetness of love and many trivial disputes. But no matter how they argued, Yaoyao demanded that I not sulk or run away from home.
No matter how bad the argument is, it must be resolved on the spot, and if two people are really angry, there is no way to solve the problem calmly. Then just sit down, look at each other, and don't speak.
I have to admire Yaoyao's wisdom, because almost every time I sit down and look at her aggrieved little eyes, I immediately regret it.
So although there are a lot of things in life that need to be run in and need to be adapted, they are still sweet and happy.
Time passes little by little in this trivial sweetness, and happiness also permeates between us, and gradually spreads.
We go to Dongguan once every six months to visit her parents. Every week, I will go to my aunt's house and go to Tingting to play under the banner of visiting my aunt.
Usually when I get home from work, she cooks and I wash the dishes. I do the laundry, and she mops the floor and tidies up the room. Then study together, go to exams together, and go to the streets and alleys hand in hand to find all kinds of food.
The days are plain and real, and the feelings are sincere and sweet. We are wandering in the ocean of our love, enjoying it wantonly.
Two years have passed in a flash, and in these two years, we have walked all over the streets and alleys of Shenzhen. We have fed the birds of Erhai Lake together, watched the snow of Cangshan together, waited for the sunrise on the top of Huashan Mountain together, and made a vow of love to the sunset on the coast of the South China Sea.
During this period, Yaoyao called my parents several times, and she was very excited and felt that my parents valued her very much.
But I have been faintly worried in my heart, not knowing what kind of sparks will be caused by their collision.
Another year is approaching, and at the repeated request of my parents, I took Yaoyao on the train to Zhejiang.
The first time I went to meet my parents, and it was by train, Yaoyao was very excited, and she had already started preparing gifts for them long in advance.
When we squeezed to the station with large bags and small bags, Yaoyao was visibly frightened by the sight in front of us.
The excitement of yesterday was shattered by the crowd in front of them, and the frowning brow spoke for itself.
Even though I had carefully protected her behind me, the crowds had squeezed her countless times.
Yaoyao, who has never experienced the Spring Festival, was in this rolling crowd for the first time, and her calmness, her rationality and wisdom seemed useless at this moment.
And I have to take care of the luggage on my hands, and I have to be careful to protect her everywhere, which will inevitably be inconsiderate.
Watching her get knocked over and over again by someone else's luggage, I could only pull her closer to myself, trying to distance her from the others.
But in such an environment, my actions were obviously futile, and no matter how much I protected her, she would inevitably be tripped up.
Someone even stretched out their hands and pushed her, telling her to hurry forward. Looking at the man behind her, who was as big as me and three thick, I felt a nameless fire in my heart.
If I just accidentally bumped into her, I could still bear it, after all, this is the Spring Festival, then reaching out and pushing it will definitely touch my reverse scales.
I couldn't protect her and put her in such an environment, I already blamed myself, and I would never allow anyone to hurt her at this time.
I took Yaoyao into my arms, and then stood between her and the man, and slapped him on the hand.
"Why don't you put away your pig's trotters for Lao Tzu, you dare to touch my wife again, Lao Tzu's paws will chop it for you."
The man craned his neck and just wanted to speak, but when he saw my eyes, he suddenly withered. A few men like him, carrying denim bags, slowly gathered around me.
Looking at their fierce eyes, Yaoyao, who was hiding in my arms, trembled obviously, and it seemed that she was frightened by the scene in front of her.
And I didn't flinch at all, my eyes made contact with them one by one, and I naturally knew that with the current situation, I couldn't beat so many people.
But I will never back down, this is my bottom line, and it is also my insistence as a man.
In this way, in the surging crowd, the sudden pause of several of us made the whole flow of people stagnate.
The people around who were watching the excitement had already begun to make a fuss, and those who couldn't see what was happening in the distance had begun to curse.
For a while, the waiting room, which was already noisy and noisy, became even more noisy. But I stood there like an old monk, my feet seemed to grow from the ground, and my body was straight.
Several men began to waver at this time, and a middle-aged man who was a little older and had chapped skin and an opening was the first to come out and stop them.
"Well, forget it, everyone is here to catch the car. If you're in a hurry, don't take it to heart, you'll go home for the New Year. ”
"yes, yes, it's not necessary. It's not a big deal, boy, everyone is here to catch the car. It's not easy, so don't worry about it. ”
Several big sisters around also came out to help, most of them had dry skin, yellow skin, and out of shape. He carries a large cloth bag on his back and a paint bucket or plastic bag in his hand.
This is in stark contrast to Yaoyao, who wears a khaki trench coat, smooth and delicate skin, and a slender and slender figure.
For some reason, my nose suddenly went sore, and my heart trembled. I'm really afraid that one day, under the coercion of life, Yaoyao will become what they are now.
Yaoyao, who has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child and has a wealthy family, has already made me feel very embarrassed to be crowded in this bustling crowd.
When I saw the appearance of these eldest sisters in front of me again, I thought that if Yaoyao became like them one day, my heart felt like I had been pricked by a needle and leaked air.
Seeing that I was stunned, Yaoyao also carefully pulled me in her arms, and then whispered to persuade me not to fight.
A few men around me also lowered their momentum amid the persuasion of everyone. Looking at the frightened eyes of Yaoyao trembling in my arms, I was distressed and bowed my head and smiled at her.
Then he turned around and walked towards the ticket gate with her in his arms, and a storm subsided. Because of the farce just now, the people around us deliberately kept their distance from us.
My unintentional act of interfering in the willows made our next trip a lot easier. By the time I finally took Yaoyao to find our place and put the luggage on the luggage rack, I was already exhausted and collapsed.
Yaoyao didn't feel much better, she squeezed around in the crowd, and she still had a lot of things in her hands. When she found a seat, she also sat in the seat.
As more and more passengers crowded into the car, the trunk was already packed, and experienced people had already set up small mazaars in the aisles.
Yaoyao rested for a while, she had already relieved herself, and as soon as her spirit returned, her warm-hearted nature couldn't hold back.
Either to help the people around them coordinate the position, or to help couples with small children to hold their children. And I was even more miserable, given my physique, half of the luggage in the car was put on the luggage rack under Yaoyao's command.
Finally, everyone settled down and sat in their places. Sitting across from us was a young couple with a small child, taking the child back to their hometown for the first time.
And the eldest sister who placed a small Mazha by our position went to Zhejiang to see her grandson, which was the same destination as ours.
Standing next to her were a young couple, about the same age as us, who had not yet graduated from university and were interning in Shenzhen.
Standing across from them, against us was a young man. With a small braid, he looks a little literary and artistic, and he is a street performer. In the scenic spot to make a living by painting people, he went to Zhejiang to collect wind and celebrate the Spring Festival by the way.
Don't ask me why I know so clearly, because our Comrade Li Shiyao separated our snacks for everyone after getting in the car.
Then within half an hour, everyone's destination, the purpose of the trip and everything were all mastered by her. I estimate that when this journey is over, it is estimated that she will be able to grasp even the password of other people's bank cards.
As the train slowly drove out of the platform, I also approached the city where my parents were located with a feeling of anxiety.
Yaoyao was also full of novelties along the way, and from time to time she danced excitedly to tell me about the scenery she saw from the window.
When the train announcer finished the best announcement, the lights in the trunk dimmed, and the travelers, who had been on the road for eight hours, were all exhausted.
Because of sitting for a long time, my body was already stiff and numb, and Yaoyao adjusted her body posture to make herself sit more comfortably.
It's not my first time on a train, so I know how hard an eight-hour train ride can be for someone standing.
And Yaoyao is Hui Zhilanxin, who wanted the girl to squeeze next to her. But the girl was very shy, sat for a while, got up, and stopped sitting down.
So in the middle of the day, we got up and changed a few times with the little couple next to us, so that they could adjust a little, and we also took the opportunity to relax the tense body.
After a dozen hours of driving, we can reach our destination at dawn, a place where parents are located but not home.
But this night was destined to be difficult, so I let Yaoyao lie on top of me and sleep, so that at least she could be more comfortable.
Although lying on me, because the space is really limited, Yaoyao has been lying in a particularly awkward position.
After a long time, she would feel uncomfortable, and she had to adjust her posture to make herself more comfortable.
In this life, men are not afraid of blood, tears, and sweat, but they are afraid of not being able to protect their beloved.
I could only try to control my body and keep my posture in place, for fear of disturbing Yaoyao in my sleep.
After the bumps of this night, I had back pain, and Yaoyao was also bloodshot in her eyes, obviously not resting well.
The hair is even more entangled because of the hardships of the journey, and the whole person's spirit is also sluggish.
Looking at Yaoyao, who was sleepy-eyed and rubbing her swollen eyes, I felt bitter again.
Yaoyao, who had just woken up from her sleep, muttered to me, "What time is it, where is it?" ”
"It's past seven o'clock, and we'll be there in half an hour, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll call you when it's time."
"I don't sleep, I want to go to the toilet."
"Well, get up, I'll take you."
It's not that Yaoyao is squeamish, if you have squeezed half of the carriage to go to the toilet on the Spring Festival train, you will understand why I led her to the toilet.
Yaoyao's kind personality made her always afraid of causing trouble to others, and the carriage was full of people even lying under the seats.
So it's impossible to get through the crowd and squeeze in front of the toilet without affecting others.
So when Yaoyao went to the toilet for the first time, she couldn't squeeze through it for ten minutes, and finally she could only cast a look at me asking for help.
Yaoyao got up, tidied up the clothes on her body, and then followed behind me, moving little by little to the toilet at the end of the carriage.
When she came out of the toilet, Yaoyao told me with a look of surprise that she saw the sunrise inside.
She had never seen the sunrise on the train and wanted me to watch it with him. I have to admire this girl's Qingqi's brain circuit, at this time, she is still in the mood to watch the sunrise.
But since she asked, then I had to satisfy her. Because we couldn't see the east from the side we were sitting on, I had to lead her into the dining car.
This is the lesson that my father, who has been on the train for many years, taught me that if you don't have a seat on the train, you can go to the dining car and take a break.
But now this is the place where I fulfill Yaoyao's little wish, and we squeeze through two cars to the dining car.
Yaoyao immediately ran to the car window excitedly, lifted the corner of the curtain, and a faint ray of light shone through the car window.
Seeing Yaoyao's excited face, I also sat down opposite her and lifted the curtain on the other side as she did.
Sure enough, at this time, the sun had already shown a smiling face from the distant horizon, fiery red. And half of the vast expanse of the earth is shrouded in darkness, which looks very magnificent.
Yaoyao and I sat in front of the sky like this, quietly looking at the sun in the distance, rising little by little.
After more than ten minutes, the sun finally broke free from the shackles of the horizon and appeared in the sky completely.
And the sound of the conductor's train arriving at the station also sounded at this time, and I pulled the unfinished Yaoyao back to our carriage and sorted out the luggage.
Say goodbye to everyone one by one, and then we came to the door of the train and waited quietly for the train to arrive. My mood also became a little nervous with the slow speed of the train, and I said that I was afraid of being close to home, although this is not my hometown, but there are parents I miss day and night.
