Chapter 133: Entering the City for the First Time
"No one can say what will happen in the future."
"It's better for my mother to make her words clear earlier, so that we can be mentally prepared, than if the family is unhappy."
"If you can level a bowl of water, it will be the best."
"But, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if."
"But, it's ......" Li Lan still wanted to say something, but she didn't have enough confidence.
The sentence was flat with a bowl of water, and every word was asking her heart.
To be honest, she can't make a bowl of water by herself.
Even she was very happy about Pingping's birth at first, but later, for seven years, she was pointed at openly and secretly, and she looked forward to a male baby day and night, so that when she could stand up and talk in the village, her mood changed invisibly.
She doesn't want to be patriarchal, but having a boy has become her obsession.
Those words that pierce people's hearts are more terrifying than the hail eggs laid by God.
Thinking about it carefully, the nameless fire gushing out of Li Lan's heart dissipated little by little.
The fact that she can hold her conscience now does not mean that she will be objective and fair in matters related to Peng Peng in the future.
Greed is nourished little by little.
It's better to make it clear early.
"It's not early today, so I won't go into the city first, early tomorrow morning, we will take Fei Wan into the city to see the yard."
Li Lan awkwardly diverted the topic.
Yu Shuishan responded with a smile.
Li Lan has a good temperament when she has something to say.
The next day, the early sun rose, the two yellow kittens kept rolling, and the chicken nest also remembered the sound of clucking from time to time, the big yellow dog seemed to never know what the trouble was, shaking its fluffy tail happily, the chicken and the dog barked at the cat, and the morning was a lively fireworks.
It was a good day, indeed.
Although it is still cold in spring, the wind seems to be very intimate, and it becomes a little softer when it blows people's faces.
Of course, it is also possible that people are in good spirits on happy occasions.
This is Li Lan's first time in the city, and she can't help but be nervous and restrained while she is excited.
Early in the morning, I rummaged through the cabinets to find my neatest and most decent clothes, and looked at the only large mirror on the wardrobe at home.
"Is that okay?"
Li Lan patted the folds on her body that didn't exist at all again, turned her head and asked.
Yu Feiwan, who was chewing steamed buns, nodded busily.
Li Lan touched her slightly long hair, frowned and said to herself, "Does this hair look unlean, making people feel sloppy." ”
"At home, you can casually sew and mend for three years, but when you go out, you still go into the city to see the yard and talk to people, you must tidy up, otherwise it is easy to be looked down upon by dogs."
"I don't know what the people in the city are like and what kind of life they live."
Li Lan's words made Yu Feiwan's heart sigh sour for a while.
She didn't laugh at Li Lan's nervousness and subconscious timidity.
Li Lan was worried that she would be looked down upon by dogs, not scolding, but more because of the inferiority complex that was deeply pressed in her heart, so that she couldn't hold her head up.
It's the poverty that I'm afraid of, it's the hard life I'm afraid of, but it's also the self-confidence and self-esteem that have been crushed into a pile of powder after years of life have been tinkered with invisibly and tried to stick together.
The little people have the cowardice of the little people, but what is more eye-catching than the cowardice is the flame that will never be extinguished and the love of life.
No matter how tattered it is, as long as there is hope, I will raise the spirit of 120,000 points and manage my life well.
Yu Feiwan pursed her lips, held back the tears that suddenly appeared in her eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Mom, how can you not be capable, just right." ”
"Straighten your back, and we'll not be afraid of anything."
"You kid." Li Lan reached out and poked Yu Feiwan's nose and withdrew her gaze from the scissors on the side.
Yu Shuishan carried two buckets of water on his shoulder, and after filling the water tank, he washed his hands, put on the cotton clothes that Li Lan had prepared a long time ago, and couldn't help but bend his eyebrows.
Today's formation is a bit bluffing.
"Let's go?"
"Hmm."
The three of them hitchhiked and headed to the county.
In the car, Li Lan pursed her lips tightly, her expression was serious, not like she was going to the city to buy a yard, but more like a warrior who was going to the battlefield with a gun.
However, the seriousness did not last long.
Li Lan got motion sickness.
His cheeks were pale, his lips were bloody, and he retched from time to time.
The window opened a crack slightly, and the wind whistled through the crack, and the old man and child were still sitting in the car, and when the wind blew, the children's coughing sound came and went.
Seeing this, Li Lan closed the window again, and the whole person became even more dizzy.
Yu Feiwan pretended to dig in his pocket, took out an orange, peeled it off and handed it to Li Lan, "Mom, you can eat a few oranges, you can get better." ”
"If you have a lot of nausea, you really can't eat it, and you can smell it."
Li Lan sniffed twice as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
The crisp and sweet smell of oranges temporarily suppressed Li Lan's nausea.
As soon as she arrived at the station, Li Lan ran down non-stop, retching on the big tree on the side of the road.
After a while, there was a light in his eyes again.
Li Lan sighed, "Every time this car stops, stops and goes, the dizziness is even worse." ”
Yu Shuishan looked worried, "If it doesn't work, when we go back, the doctor in the city will prescribe some motion sickness medicine." ”
Li Lan waved her hand: "Just take a few steps and breathe." ”
"Fortunately, the oranges played a big role, otherwise we might have to get off the bus early and walk into the city."
"Haven't we finished eating the oranges we bought years ago?" Li Lan asked casually.
Yu Fei put his arm around Li Lan before the evening, "There are still a few in the Xitang House, so I put one in my pocket casually." ”
After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Lan's face was bloody again, and her tightly frowning brows slowly loosened, and she had a lot of energy to look at the city.
She has lived most of her life.
Moved out of the hukou from the rugged and majestic mountains, and finally married Shuishan and settled in the village, so many years, the farthest place I have been to is the town.
However, she is also very satisfied.
Although the village is also backward and isolated, it has gradually built roads and opened to vehicles, and every household can cultivate the fields.
And in the mountains where she grew up, there are mountains one after another.
Over this heavy mountain, it is another heavy mountain.
The terrain is rugged, you can't plow the fields, you can only barely grow some fruits, and there are more wild wolves than people.
When I was a child, I could always hear the wolf howl when night fell.
It's rare to go out on a trip.
"It's not the same city I imagined." Li Lan looked around and said in a low voice.
Yu Shuishan tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice, "What do you imagine it to look like?" ”
Li Lan pursed her lips, and said after a while, "I thought that the people in the city were all glamorous, the buildings in the city were higher than the mountains, the roads were straight and wide, and the roads were all four-legged, lively and lively." ”
Yu Shuishan said with a smile: "In the future, at most, ten or twenty years, it will definitely develop better than you imagined." ”
