Chapter 74 Saying Goodbye to Work
Ivanqiu sat on the stone slab and waited quietly.
After a while, Li Simeng silently came to the corner of the wall not far behind him, and his eyes were searching under the banyan tree for Ivanqiu's figure.
At this time, Ivanqiu was thinking, tonight, um! Then his eyes were full of smiles, looking at the sky, the moonlight that was neither light nor dark.
When he proudly hummed the tune of "The Clouds of Hometown".
Li Simeng heard it and saw that there was indeed such a person under the dark banyan tree. The person's voice was so familiar. After listening for a while, he finally confirmed that it was Ivanqiu.
He walked towards the stone where Ivanqiu was sitting, holding something in his hand. Under the faint starlight and the dim moonlight, he could not see clearly what it was. He could only vaguely see the white and yellow objects.
At night, there are not many people wandering around, and besides the sound of frogs, there are insects.
The sound of human trampling breaks the harmonious atmosphere. Wherever you pass, the cricket immediately shuts his mouth, grits his teeth, holds his breath and makes some moves of preparation for escape, for fear that when a hunter accidentally discovers it, he will react and hide it immediately.
Saving life is the innate instinctive self-prevention of animals. If these are lacking, it is impossible to survive for a long time under the law of the strong.
A strange movement was found in the grass, and the wonderful sound stopped. Ivanqiu was still closed, humming a song and listening to the solo music played by the crickets around him. Suddenly, he heard the "rustling" sound of stepping on his feet. He quickly opened his eyes and turned around vigilantly.
Looking at the direction where the footsteps came, I saw a man in a white dress through the faint moonlight, not knowing whether he was an aunt or a girl.
When the figure kept leaning over here and couldn't see clearly, Ivanqiu took a breath of air conditioning because the figure did not speak.
Compared with the legends in many stories, the night is dark and the wind is high and the night is dark and the wind is high and the ghosts and gods are high. These strange things will not speak to you, nor will they say to you with a smile on their faces, "Come on, boy, you are unlucky to meet me, haha!"
Ivanqiu tightened his teeth and tightened his fists secretly, ready to suppress the other party's and yin energy at any time with his masculine aura.
But when the figure seemed to have no intention of pausing, she was already confident.
As the figure got closer, the vision became clearer and clearer.
Ivanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, sootheed the tight muscles all over his body, and stood up from the stone excitedly. The change was really unthinkable, too fast, and he could only hear him saying harmony: "You... are here."
There was a pause in the middle of the three words for a moment. Iwanqiu wanted to say something else, but he saw that the person was Li Simeng holding something that he had never seen before.
There was a fork next to it. When he thought it was something to eat, his tongue quickly changed the subject from curved to flattening.
"I'll eat it soon."
Ivanqiu took Li Simeng’s hand with both hands, but didn’t know what it was and said it was eaten.
The stomach acid in the stomach is constantly secreting, and the stomach is also rolling around. The insectivorous food in the stomach has been waiting for a long time. Looking at the strange food, it must be very delicious. Ivanqiu took a bite impatiently.
The thing melts in the mouth, soft and sweet, light and greasy. As the taste collided with the tip of the tongue, endless and tasteless stimulating the nerves of the taste buds.
Ivanqiu narrowed his eyes, tsk his mouth, and asked curiously: "What is this? It's so sweet and delicious."
Li Simeng raised her happy little face, her shallow dimples as charming as carved, and said in harmony: "It's a cake, my dad went to the city to pick up the goods."
Ivanqiu ate the cake in just a few bites.
I am not happy. You should not eat too much or eat too much, so that you can maintain its unique position in your mind? What is the saying of cao eggs?
In the previous article, we also said that whenever Li Simeng’s birthday, Li Jianguo would go home, including his sister and mother in the middle of the period, and he can be regarded as a role model for a good husband and a good father.
Ivanqiu grabbed Li Simeng's hand and walked towards the arch bridge.
This is the second time in history that I have held Li Simeng's little hand. If you want to take the initiative, it must be the first time I have to hold Li Simeng's little hand.
Li Simeng did not dodge, but let Iwanqiu hold her hand. When both hands touched it, Iwanqiu felt the little hand that Li Simeng held tightly.
He was very excited inside. He was worried that Li Simeng would fall into the fire at that time, so he rashly reached out to hook her hand.
Compared to that time, Ivanqiu felt completely different from what he is now. Can this be the same?
Li Simeng did not dodge or break away from his hands like last time, but cooperated to hold the warm and strong big pig's trotters tightly, bum, big palms.
Ivanqiu had a thousand words, but at that moment his mind was blank and fragmented.
The ambiguous and tender whispers that had been thinking for a long time disappeared in the moment when I held Li Simeng.
Both of them walked towards the arch bridge in silence.
The girl was so happy that she was crazy, and did not explode on the spot. The boy was very comfortable, but he did not dare to explore further.
In the end, Ivanqiu broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "Tell me something to you."
"Um?"
"I will go to work in a few days. Maybe I will not know when I will come back."
Ivanqiu remembered what his grandfather said to him and said calmly: "We will wait until the Spring Festival at the latest."
Because he knew that the foreman who was jealous of money would take at least half a year to build a house every time, and it was July.
There is still half a year left before the Spring Festival, and work will continue to be busy at that time.
In order to save enough money as soon as possible, build a house, and to get married to her as soon as possible, what is a mere half a year worth?
It’s just a journey of life, the sea is in the sea for a while!
Li Simeng stopped and turned around, looked at Yi Wanqiu with her lips pursed, and said, "I also want to go out to work. A good friend of my father is working in Shenzhen. This time he came back, he wanted to take me and my sister with him. I don't know when he would come back."
Li Simeng let go of Yi Wanqiu's hands, muttering and lowering her head, and crossing her hands.
"Then will leave tomorrow?... or some time?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
Both of them were silent for a long time, as if they were fixed in place like two statues.
The woman is silent, and the man is silent.
After frowned and looked at Li Simeng for a long time, I said, "By the way, you must remember to write to me then." He said that he was plucking his hand in his pocket. When he pulled out his hand, there was an instant paper in his palm.
Ivanqiu handed the folded paper into Li Simeng's hand and whispered: "This is where I go to work. If you go there and settle down, write me a letter."
Tonight Ivanjiang came to my house and told Ivanqiu that someone came to find him. After seeing Li Siyan, he met Ivanjiang by chance on the way home.
Ivanjiang was curiously asking Ivanqiu, whose family belongs to that woman?
Yi Jiahua happened to carry the feces and go to the field, and just happened to see the two of them chatting there.
Just tell them that they may go out to work the day after tomorrow.
Yi Wanqiu asked about the address of the place he was going to. When he got home, he thought about whether to leave a address for Li Simeng and have a better idea of contacting him.
Li Simeng took the piece of paper from Ivanqiu's hand and said, "I have something for you, too."
As he said that, Li Simeng took out a red rope from his hand like a magic trick.
"This is what I got when I went to ask for a visa, you bring it with you." As he said that, he put it on Ivanqiu's wrist.
"Also, I have an address for you, this is where I go to work."
It was also at the dinner table that his father Li Jianguo told her in person that he had already found a job and was waiting for the two sisters to come over.
A few months ago, when Li Simeng didn't know Yi Wanqiu, she told her father that she had to go out to work.
As for the college entrance examination, I won’t take the college entrance examination. Looking at the same village, some of the same age, some of them have gone out to work as nannies, and some have worked in a foreign land alone. They all come back in a dress of makeup, talking about how wonderful the outside world is.
Li Simeng often dreams that she stepped into the prosperous city of a foreign land that she had envied for a long time, and saw many unique and exquisite clothes, a lot of delicious food, and colorful neon lights when night fell.
Finally one day, I mustered up the courage and told my father that I didn’t want to take the college entrance examination anymore and wanted to go out to work to meet the most beautiful corner of the world.
As for the parents, of course, they hope that both the eldest and the younger daughter will go out to work as soon as possible.
In the college entrance examination, they have not changed much after several years of taking the exam, but their parents have long lost their patience.
The most important thing is to look at other families’ daughters. Some get married and some have children. They are already unhappy in their hearts to continue their studies, thinking that once they get older, it will be difficult to get married.
If you continue to take the exam like this, when will this end? It is better to let them go out to work. Getting married earlier is what you should do now.
As parents, they can mislead their children, let alone their own little baby, so they simply follow their wishes.
After repeated consideration, Li Jianguo and Li Wei finally endured the pain and decided to let their daughters go out to see the world together.
After learning that he was about to go out to work, Li Simeng asked his father directly, where the address was, the postal code, etc.
At first, the father asked curiously, why do you want these things?
Li Wei hinted under the table and stepped on him. After passing by, he was relatively unaware of the reason, so he didn't know why.
I heard my youngest daughter Li Simeng explain, "I need to communicate with my friends."
This middle-aged man who has traveled thousands of miles and sang about changes seems to have understood some of his origins.
His eyes lit up, and he stood up responsibly and wrote the address on the paper and handed it to Li Simeng.
The two seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding on the same issue, which has the rightness and the care and admiration of the other party.
The two of them silently met on the bridge, and then looked at each other silently, like the plot of Qiqi Cowherd and Weaver Girl reluctance, their eyes were sent to each other with affectionate feelings.
There are no sparrows under your feet, only the cold, muddy, dirty and rocky road surface.
Ivanqiu still looked back reluctantly and looked towards Huaihua Village for a long time, and silently sighed, "Time is really tm 2, it's passing too fast."
Until the next morning, the birds sing happily on the branches, the leaves sway in the wind, and the sunlight constantly moves under the tree.
After Li Simeng cleaned up briefly, she dragged her suitcase and followed her father to the tractor.
Last evening, Li Jian returned home and celebrated his daughter's birthday while he was going home to celebrate his daughter's birthday. He asked him if he would go out to the streets tomorrow. If you don't go out to the streets, I will hire you to take my daughter and I to the county town directly. The money will not be missing.
In the past, when Erdong woke up, he would ask his elder brother where he would go today, how many cars he pulled, and whether he still needed it.
But tomorrow, he is not busy, because July has just passed, and after the busy farming period, people will not choose this period to build a house. Even if other major renovations are done, this must be pushed through August as much as possible.
Li Jianguo also likes to get close to Erdong brothers on weekdays. The brothers are optimistic and cheerful, and they can get along with each other at the dinner table.
Erdong always helps him without saying anything, which has a lot to do with his cheerful personality.
Li Jianguo is also quite straightforward. When he collides with straightforwardness, he becomes a good friend and good buddy who is unhappy. His buddy's life is his own life.
Li Jianguo, who has been abroad for many years, certainly would not treat Erdong who helped him unfairly. He would give him a few bottles of wine when he had any good wine, and even a few packs of cigarettes when he had any good cigarettes. This happened a lot.
Of course, Erdong is not a greedy person. Once the gift and gift form a relationship, it can often bring people closer together.
The three half-brothers drank a lot until they were drunk at the table and saw you drink a few more glasses of wine. After we only had a few glasses of wine, we couldn't drink any more, so we shook our heads and went back to our houses.
Sister Li Siyan dragged a half-person-high suitcase and walked on the uneven road with difficulty.
Mom Li Wei helped her father, who had not yet woken up, get into the car first. The sisters helped each other to carry the suitcase into the car. Mom looked at it and said, "It's not like moving, is it necessary to bring so many things?"
The two sisters did not speak, but looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
When I was packing up last night, my sister and Li Simeng were discussing what to bring when I went out, and the sisters were constantly rummaging through the clothes in the box.
Even the quilts were to be taken with them. They were worried that they would not be able to find them for a while, so they might as well bring peace of mind themselves.
Therefore, we also have more pairs of clothes and shoes. We didn’t feel satisfied with closing the suitcase and sleeping until midnight.
The family left the village entrance under the gaze of the villagers. There was no stopping along Erdong Road, and they rushed to a constant speed until they arrived at the county town.
At the station, my father lined up to get the ticket to the city and handed it to the two sisters, but he was still worried and said to the two sisters: "You are here. If you can't catch the shuttle bus to Shenzhen in the city, find a hotel near the station to stay first. Don't stay in the station to save money. It's unsafe to stay there. It's very unsafe to be threatened and robbed. If you really don't understand, ask more people. People should not ask randomly. You must ask the police and the staff at the station."
The sister was the first to speak and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves, and you and mom take good care of ourselves."
Li Wei pulled the suitcase to Li Siyan's hand and told him: "You must take good care of your sister when you go out. You are more sensible than her. If you don't understand outside, ask your uncle." Li Wei turned around and said to his younger daughter, "You must listen to your sister. It's not better to go out than at home. If you encounter any problems, discuss with your sister or uncle more."
The family said goodbye, and the kind of crying scene, instead, the mother who used to talk a lot has become much less, while the father who didn't talk much said a few words.
"I remember to go there and write to us. We are all waiting at home. If we are uncomfortable outside, go home."
That being said, no parents in the world want their children to live well outside and be able to live a life of happiness through hardships and sufferings alone.
Li Simeng and her sister Li Siyan left their backs to two old people who loved them, and then began to embark on their unknown and yearning for a better environment and free life.
Leaving one's parents does not mean that one must be free. Freedom is just an excuse for spiritual comfort. Too many children go to other places just to live a better life or do what they want to do.
However, in their memories, that day did take the shuttle bus to the city with great anticipation.
As soon as I got into the car, Li Simeng felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled the smell of gasoline. She felt a little stuffy and her stomach was churning.
I always want to find a place to vomit, but my sister prefers it. She never feels discomfort when she takes a bus to the county town.
It may be that the difference in personal constitution leads to the obvious reaction of my sister.
Li Jianguo took out a cigarette and lit it, watching his daughter's far away shuttle bus meaningfully.
Back in the store, I opened the store door, sorted out the store and pulled out the closet, held the sign, which read, "Selling Wholesale Department".
Li Wei went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, picked some pork, and went back to the store to cook.
Chapter completed!
