Only by experiencing some things can people understand some things, understand some truths, and make better decisions.

Liu Chunyan, a white-collar worker in the workplace who has been drifting north for 10 years, walked around the ghost gate, and the whole person is a lot more transparent.

She made an important decision, resign!

Leave the company that has struggled for 10 years, leave the big city where you have lived for 10 years, and go back to your hometown to farm.

The train traveled all the way west, and after 12 hours, it came to the vast northwest land.

After getting off the train, there was a hint of loess in the air, Liu Chunyan took a deep breath, yes, this is the smell.

Dragging a big suitcase, Liu Chunyan went to the bus station, reversed the car twice, left the city, arrived at the county seat, and then arrived at the town.

"Sister, this way!"

A young man with yellow hair rides on a brand-new motorcycle, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and a black dragon painted on his left arm.

This person is Liu Chunyan's younger brother Liu Chunshan.

Liu Chunyan called him in the morning and asked him to come to town to pick her up.

Liu Chunyan glanced at him, "Why are you a gangster?" ”

Liu Chunshan: "Sister, you don't understand, I did this style to attract girls." ”

Out of town, cross a stretch of road and come to a potholed mountain road.

The shock absorption of the motorcycle is a bit poor, and Liu Chunyan, who was sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle, was turned upside down again and again, if she hadn't held the handrail tightly, she would have been turned upside down.

Liu Chunyan's home is at the foot of Qilian Mountain.

Closer, closer.

Finally, the outline of the village was seen.

The Qilian Mountains lie across the north of the village, like a sleeping dragon.

As the sun sets, smoke rises.

Liu Chunyan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar rural scene, excited and worried.

Excitedly, she returned to her hometown.

Worried, I'm afraid that the neighbors will ask her if she has found a partner.

She is 32 years old, and her peers are married and have children, and she is a mother of two or even three children.

She is the only one who went to college after middle school and worked in a big city after college.

All these years, she has never had a partner.

Although her father and mother have been forced to marry for seven or eight years, she is still alone.

She has become an old girl and a leftover girl in the mouths of the villagers.

Liu Chunyan asked her younger brother to drive the motorcycle faster.

In this way, when you meet a fellow countryman, you can say hello and run away.

Liu Chunyan's home is in the northwest corner of the village, and before she reached the door, she saw her gray-haired parents, waiting at the door of her house.

"Mother!" Liu Chunyan looked at her mother, whose forehead was a little wrinkled, and her voice couldn't help but choke a little.

Her mother, Wang Fengxiang, has been working in the fields for many years, and the years have left deep annual rings on her face.

Wang Fengxiang faltered to catch up.

She suffered from arthritis due to years of working in the fields, and her steps were not very sharp.

Liu Chunyan held her mother's hand tightly, her palm was covered with calluses, rough, and with traces of time.

"Daddy!" Liu Chunyan greeted his father Liu Aimin again.

Liu Aimin is not good at words, and he smiles innocently.

The family walked into the hall.

Liu Chunyan opened the suitcase and distributed gifts to the family.

She bought a coat for her mother, a pair of shoes for her father, and a new mobile phone for her brother.

"Is the swallow back?"

A crisp voice came from outside.

Liu Chunyan responded: "Yes, sister-in-law, I'm back." ”

She stood in the doorway and looked at her sister-in-law as she got closer and closer.

Her sister-in-law's name is Wang Xiaodan, she is a decent person, she wears flowers and branches every day, walks to the east and west, chats about a top house, and lets her work in the field, either with a headache or itchy feet.

Liu Chunyan has a very bad impression of her sister-in-law.

However, superficial politeness cannot be lost.

Liu Chunshan looked at Wang Xiaodan and said in a weird manner, "Sister-in-law, you haven't come to my house once for several months, what wind blew you here today?" ”

At the beginning, after Liu Chunyan's brother got married, his parents divided the family for him, allowing them to live alone as a young couple.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Xiaodan does not come to her mother-in-law's house.

Sometimes, if you don't come once in a few months, it's better to stay with your neighbors.

Wang Xiaodan didn't seem to hear Liu Chunshan's ridicule, she asked Liu Chunyan, "What gift did you bring me when you came back this time?" "She

Liu Chunyan said: "I bought you a set of cosmetics, but I haven't had time to send them to you." ”

"You don't have to send it, I'll take it myself." Wang Xiaodan walked straight to Liu Chunyan's suitcase.

She pulled out a white sun-protective suit from her suitcase.

"It's a nice dress, I like it, it's mine."

"This black skirt is a bit old-fashioned, you don't wear it properly, I wear it just right."

Wang Xiaodan did not treat himself as an outsider at all, and took Liu Chunyan's clothes as his own.

"Grandma, is my mother at your house?" The voice of a child came from the yard.

Immediately after, a man of five or six years old walked in.

He is the son of Wang Xiaodan, the nephew of Liu Chunyan, and the next generation of the old Liu family.

Liu Chunyan hugged him, "Xiaobao, call aunt." ”

Liu Xiaobao called out to his aunt weakly, and he looked at Liu Chunyan with shyness and strangeness in his eyes.

Liu Chunyan has been working for many years, and she only has the Chinese New Year every year, and she can't stay for a week before leaving.

Liu Xiaobao has no impression of Liu Chunyan.

In his young mind, Liu Chunyan was no different from a stranger.

Wang Xiaodan turned Liu Chunyan's suitcase upside down, looted more than a dozen clothes, pulled Liu Xiaobao, and shook away.

Liu Chunshan said with emotion: "The imperial army has finally finished sweeping. ”

At dinner, it's time to talk.

Liu Chunyan announced a decision to her parents, she resigned, she wanted to farm and herd sheep at home, and become a farmer in the new era.

The parents were stunned when they heard this.

The younger brother opened his mouth in surprise, "Sister, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?" ”

Liu Aimin's expression was serious, "No, Yanzi, you can't farm at home, you have to go to work in the city." ”

His voice was serious and did not allow for rebuttal.

Liu Chunyan was puzzled.

Don't parents want their children to stay with them?

Why didn't her father let her stay in her hometown?

"Why?" she asked. ”

"There's no why, you have to go into town anyway." Liu Aimin raised his voice, and his tone became more stern.

Wang Fengxiang gently pushed Liu Aimin and reminded him to speak softly, after all, Liu Chunyan is not a child.

Liu Aimin glared at her and didn't let her talk much.

"Yanzi, you died of the idea of farming as soon as possible, tomorrow you will pack up your things and go back to the city immediately."

After speaking, he strode towards the door of the house, not giving Liu Chunyan a chance to speak.

Liu Chunyan looked at the back of her father leaving, and felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Fengxiang comforted, "Don't be like your father, he belongs to a donkey." ”

Wang Fengxiang talked with Liu Chunyan for more than an hour and asked her why she made this unexpected decision.

Liu Chunyan told her mother about the sourness of the North Drifters one by one.

She said that she almost died of overwork, and also said that although the capital is very large and has a large population, it is really difficult to find someone to love, and besides, after struggling in the capital for a lifetime, the money earned is not enough to buy a bedroom.

Wang Fengxiang fully understood that her daughter's life in the big city was so difficult.

She fully supported Liu Chunyan to stay in the village.

She reassured Liu Chunyan that she persuaded Liu Aimin tonight to let him agree to let her daughter stay at home.
