A few hours ago.

Afternoon.

In a small dilapidated house in Clear Water Lane.

As she was picking out clothes naked, she stood in front of the old-fashioned wardrobe, stretched out her hand, her fingers lightly swiped over the ink cheongsam, but her eyes stayed on a set of student clothes.

Light blue wide-sleeved top, navy blue long skirt, white stockings, wide cloth shoes.

Simple and generous.

I took out this outfit and thought about it, it was a long time ago.

"It's still there......"

With a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, she put on a student uniform like a painting, and then tied her long curly hair into two braids and hung it on her chest, she suddenly lost a little charm and added a lot of purity.

Putting on a pale lipstick in the mirror, he shouted picturesquely, "I'm fine, you hurry up!"

"Hmm. Xu Daoqing responded.

He was also changing clothes, a silver-gray suit, a white shirt, a black bow tie, coupled with a smile on his face and eyes like stars, Xu Daoqing at this moment is enough to compare with the most upstream characters in Beiping.

"This is who you are, choose you as a man, I won't suffer. ”

"You're also exceptionally beautiful today. ”

Xu Daoqing put on a hat, carried a bag in his left hand, and held the man's arm with his right hand, and the two went out together.

When I walked outside the fence, I saw Qian Dayou.

Xu Daoqing turned a blind eye to the fat man's earnest eyes and his tense face because he wanted to pretend to be stubborn.

After taking a few steps, Picturesque looked back.

"I'm a woman with no foresight, and I don't know what you have to do, but I've heard the old man say that people gather like and things are grouped. When this fat man first came, he looked at me very badly, and now he is making such a gesture, obviously an opportunistic villain, and your apprentice is mixed with him all day long......"

As she was talking, she suddenly noticed Xu Daoqing's gaze, which seemed to contain a sky full of stars, and was squinting slightly.

She immediately stopped talking.

"I'll say it again, don't interfere with what I'm doing, even if you guess it, don't say it!"

"I promised you to dress up once a month and go shopping, where do you want to go?" he asked again.

"When I stayed at home, I always felt bored, so I thought about going out for a walk, and when I came out, I realized that I had nowhere to go. ”

Ruhua withdrew her hand, no longer holding Xu Daoqing's arm, she brushed the slightly messy hair in front of her forehead, turned around in place, and said with a smile: "I saw the prosperity of Beiping a few years ago." ”

"Now that they're all out, let's just take a stroll. Xu Daoqing lowered his hat and hid his eyes in the shadow of the brim.

..................

Autumn afternoons, when the sun is warm and the breeze is blowing, are the best days to hang out.

There are many alleys and streets in Beiping, and the roadside shops are open, and there are all kinds of small stalls, which are placed in the corners, and the stall owners are shouting loudly:

"Chen Ji thick noodles, the recipe is authentic, the old is innovative, the taste is different, there are braised beef flavor, fresh shrimp and fish board flavor, mushroom stewed chicken flavor, sauerkraut chicken flavor, etc.......

"Li's buckle bowl tea soup, smooth and refreshing, we use tea from the Tianshan Mountains, rice ...... grown by foreigners"

"Roast duck roast duck, green onion roast duck, own green onion own duck ......"

"Rock sugar gourd!"

From time to time, there are teenagers shuttling through the crowd, shouting a few words: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

When she was shopping, she was more flexible than a newspaper boy, occasionally rushing into a certain shop or in front of a small stall, arguing with the stall owner for a few words, and then running away with a smile.

After shopping for most of the hour, she was empty-handed.

"You can buy whatever you want, it's not bad for money. Xu Daoqing said.

"The bad problems I raised since I was a child, my family was poor when I was a child, but I was greedy for fun, and I often went to the market, only shopping and not buying, and there was endless fun. ”

As she spoke, she happened to pass by a sugar gourd stall, she stepped up, picked off the top one, turned around and smiled at Xu Daoqing, and said, "That's it." ”

Before you know it, it's almost dusk.

Xu Daoqing looked at the sky and asked, "Where else do you want to go?"

Picturesque shook the sugar gourd in her hand, she didn't eat much, only licked it twice, and her lips were as bright red as the sugar gourd.

"I want to go home and see. After thinking for a long time, she finally said.

"Good. ”

"It's me who did something wrong, so I never hated my parents, and I haven't been home for all these years of being kicked out of the house, but it's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. ”

Under the guidance of the picturesque, the two walked into a very narrow small alley, there are not many people in the alley, only a few wooden houses more than 100 years ago, which are worse than the dilapidated mud houses in Qingshui Lane.

They walked to the most remote corner of the alley, and in front of them were three connected cabins with no yards.

The planks on the roof were jet-black, almost cracked, and a strong smell of decay could be smelled from them. The door was closed, not tight, but through the crack in the door, nothing could be seen, only darkness.

Ruhua stood in front of the house for a while, raised the sugar gourd to her mouth, wanted to eat it, and put it down again. Suddenly, she strode up and pushed against the door.

"Squeaky ......"

"Pop ......"

"Bang!"

The wooden door stubbornly persisted for a while, but finally it still fell, and the sun at dusk poured in, only to see dust rising everywhere, like a sandstorm.

"My mom and dad moved away. Picturesque stood in the doorway and sighed.

When Xu Daoqing heard this, he wanted to say some comforting words, but suddenly, the woman in front of him turned around.

She was smiling, but there was a sparkle in the corner of her eye.

"The poor have the backbone of the poor, my parents taught me to straighten my spine since I was a child, they are all good-looking people, and they will definitely move away after I have this file. It's that I've always had the illusion that they will still recognize me as a daughter, and that they will stay, waiting for me to muster up the courage to come back and see. ”

The dust in the wooden house swirled and did not fall for a long time.

"Looks like they've been moving out for a long time. ”

"In addition to here, you have a home. Xu Daoqing finally couldn't help but say.

Ruhua shook her head and said, "You can't give me a home, one day, you will also leave." ”

"My family was not originally from Beiping, my ancestors worked hard and finally took root in this city that everyone yearns for, and now my parents are gone, it should be moved away from Beiping, so I must stay here, my family is in Beiping, no one!"

Picturesque wiped the sparkle from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the reason why I can't go to Jiangnan with you." ”

"What is so good about this city, countless people are fighting to break their heads to enter, and countless people are unwilling to leave. Xu Daoqing sighed, frowned suddenly, and asked, "So what you said before that you wanted to marry a foreigner was all a lie to me?"

"Maybe, I'm lying to you now......"
