Chapter 16 Stirring China (2)

 What Nie Yuyu looks forward to most is getting married to Chen Li.

He usually calls Chen Li Lili.

Before meeting Chen Li, Chen Li was a stranger on the assembly line with job number 1736 to him. After meeting her, Chen Li was a living Chen Li to him, a thin female worker from Hubei Province with short hair. Like

Eat noodles, walnuts, and cheap popsicles outside the factory.

That night, it was not snowing heavily in Yangcheng like it is today, but it was as hot as a furnace. The air seemed to be scorching with steam, slowly flowing in people's sight, twisting the drooping ivy in the distance, and people were also twisted out.

He was sweating and suddenly felt that he had no strength. It was at this time that he finished work and hurried downstairs to the dormitory to fetch water.

The water is cold and gurgling from the faucet.

Nie Yuyu watched intently, counting silently in his mind, killing his time in the factory little by little. When he first came here, he also liked to play ball and study. He occasionally took the bus to see the bustling lights of big cities and looked forward to the future.

He laughed at these old employees who had lost their ambition. However, after staying here for the third month, he gradually stopped going out. After work every day, he just wanted to stay in the dormitory and not move at all. He was like a used up person.

The battery was always lying on the bed numbly, and the ceiling fan whirred and sputtered, but it couldn't bring any coolness.

The water column fills up little by little.

one.

two.

three……

"How do you get cold water?" someone beside him asked. Although the voice was pleasant, the accent was weird, and it took him some effort to figure it out.

By this time the water had overflowed.

He hurriedly turned off the faucet, threw the towel over his shoulder, and lifted up the bucket of water. "Cold water is comfortable to wash - not to mention this weather," he touched the hot water pipe with his elbow, "where is the coldness?

Where’s the water?”

Only then did he see the other party's appearance.

She is a young female worker with a round face, a pursed mouth, and slight dimples on her cheeks.

Next to it, there is boiling water that she used money to buy. It was originally used to put in a teapot for drinking, but now she uses it to take a bath.

"It's not good to take a cold shower; you must have just arrived here not long ago. If you stay longer, you will know that the hotter the weather, the harder it is to take a cold shower." The female worker sighed softly. This voice also made Nie Yuyu

Get down.

"Then what should I do? I didn't bring my water card..." "Just take a shower like this once in a while - I rarely take cold showers." Nie Yuyu explained, "Just take a shower once in a while, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

of."

The female worker looked at Nie Yuyu intently, and his face gradually became hot. He lowered his head and glanced at the other person's chest. On it was the job number assigned by the factory, "...I won't do this again."

"I drank too much water."

"Um?"

The female worker repeated again, "I have pumped too much water, so I don't need so much... Look," the female worker shook the handle of the bucket gently, bent over with difficulty, and moved towards him, "Why do we need to pump so much water?"

"

Nie Yuyu raised his head in confusion, but saw the other party saying, "I'll share some with you. You can also share some with me."

Put two buckets of water, one cold and one hot, together.

"Won't you help?" She laughed again and kicked the floor gently.

"Oh, oh..." Only then did Nie Yuyu react, and he recklessly lifted the boiling water, almost splashing himself.

Pour half of the boiling water into the cold water, and half of the cold water into the boiling water.

Repeat several times.

Nie Yuyu stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. "Okay."

"Okay! You have such a good body, so you should take care of it." After saying this, the female worker also lifted the bucket. Although it was difficult, she was not as squeamish as other girls. She walked out step by step and turned sideways.

Nie Yuyu looked at the figure of the female worker, and when she was about to leave the water room, she suddenly said:

"How can I pay you back?"

The other person turned around in confusion.

Nie Yuyu blushed even more than before and explained, "I can't take advantage of others. I'll get off work tomorrow... If you want to come, I'll get hot water here and give you half of it."

But she said, "My name is Chen Li."

"Nie Yuyu." He blinked.

——————

Taking an inter-provincial bus from Hunan Province to Guangdong Province to work takes 9 hours. However, the same journey from Guangdong Province back to hometown to get married takes infinite time.

It snowed heavily in Yangcheng that day. According to news reports, it was a rare weather event that had not been seen in decades. Because of this, a bus going home, like countless other tourists on the highway and blocked in front of the train station,

He was crucified for five days and could not move.

There were people playing poker in the car, some talking loudly, some people rushing to flip seats to go to the toilet, and more, the sounds of children crying, chewing instant noodles, and adults scolding; the air was filled with all kinds of troubles.

The smell and smell, combined, are like fermented but spoiled sauerkraut. Someone has vomited it several times.

In the left back row of the bus, a couple was cuddling with each other. The woman was looking at the snowflakes outside the window, and the man was answering the phone and shouting loudly.

"Mom... please push forward the wedding planned by my hometown. Have you watched the news... Blizzard... Blizzard! It's blocked now... We really can't come back..."

"Ah? Say it again?"

"...It's not that I don't want to get married, it's that I won't have time to get married tomorrow!"

"It's not that I have a relationship problem, I can't come back...Mom, can you hear what I say?"

"I can't come back, I haven't..." Nie Yuyu stood up and looked back. He could vaguely see the big characters of Yangcheng Railway Station. He smiled bitterly, "Actually, I haven't set off yet."

"Is there no signal?" Chen Li had a cold and her face was red. "How about we call again later? You are tired after playing for so long. Drink some water." She handed over a small amount of water.

Nie Yuyu licked his dry lips, but didn't answer. He just said, "I've been waiting for a few hours. How long can I wait? Tomorrow is the wedding day. I'm afraid they don't know yet... Things are going to be messed up.

My hometown has been waiting in vain."

"If you act like this, you will run out of money and completely lose contact with them." Chen Li hugged her boyfriend's waist and pressed her head against his chest, which was warm.

Nie Yuyu gritted his teeth and groaned, his emotions gradually calming down.

He took out his cell phone and sent a text message home. He was not good at typing, so he slowly drew on the screen with one finger and tried his best to describe what happened.

Chen Li waited quietly for him to finish writing.

Send it over.

"Your text message was not sent successfully."

Nie Yuyu clutched the phone, impulsively wanting to smash it at this moment, and punched the seat cushion helplessly, sighing.

Chen Li lay in his arms, looking at each other with a pair of eyes smiling.

a long time.

Nie Yuyu felt a little choked in his throat. He couldn't look directly into Chen Li's eyes and said abruptly, "I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." She raised her chin slightly.

The person in her arms showed her familiar dimples again. In fact, the corners of her mouth were also withered.

"ah……"

Nie Yuyu gradually shed tears uncontrollably. Chen Li came to touch his face in surprise. Because the place was narrow, she stood up and took her hand out of her lower abdomen. In the process, Chen Li also shed tears gradually.

"Even if you don't get married now, you will get married in the future; in my mind, I am already married to you. Even though it won't be completed this year, don't be sad. It's not good to cry..."

"I'm not crying..."

Nie Yuyu couldn't help it anymore. He leaned down and his upper body disappeared into the back of the low chair. At this time, the two people could no longer be seen, and only low and suppressed sobs could be heard from between the two chairs.

Did the two of them hug each other?

Or a one-sided comfort.

The snow is still falling mercilessly, and the wind is blowing fiercely. There is also the occasional whistle, an inaudible other sound. At such a time, looking inside from the window, close to the

The window, two fingers belonging to different people, started from being together at the starting point, separated, drew an arc, and then fell together.

It is a love.

The snow was falling so hard that even though they could still draw clearly just now, they were quickly frozen by the cold air. Their love disappeared.

So these two fingers repeated it over and over again, even though it was in vain.

Fall together, separate again, come together again, and again...

At a certain moment, suddenly, the sound of wind, snow, and whistle all disappeared, except for the man's voice:

"Chen Li, let's get married. Don't go anywhere else. Don't change the time. Let's get married right here, today."

His eyes turned back to the car.

There was still no sound, and the camera focused on Chen Li's stunned face.

Moving up and rotating, we see the sentient beings in the car and the human world.

Chen Li was speechless.

one.

two.

three.

She just pursed her lips and smiled.

——————

Helping the newlyweds get married has suddenly become the top priority of the entire car. If we look further ahead, it has also become a major event on this highway; the distance between cars has been compressed to an unprecedented level, almost

The sky cannot move forward, and in this space, no matter what status people have before, they all become road friends for a short period of time.

People exchanged supplies with each other, complained about the weather, and also learned about the big events that were about to happen.

The camera moves quickly.

The eldest sister of the family in Hunan Province donated a replacement for the red hijab. It was a piece of mahjong cloth used for laying, red and purple, and even had ash holes on the edge that the owner had accidentally burned; the bride buttoned the holes and covered them with clean

The other side of the cake is covered, and from this small space, one can peek at the groom collecting candies.

The candy wrappers were used to fold them into roses, but they could never find one big enough, so they were at a loss. However, a local driver from Guangdong Province was very skillful. He spliced ​​together candy wrappers of the same color to create the shape of a rose.

The transparent plastic wrapping the paper flowers was cut from the raincoat of a girl in Gan Province. She declared that if she could still go home, she would wear the remaining clothes to meet her family and keep it for a long time.

The groom's suit came from a medical sales company in the same carriage; the bride's red dress came from a newlywed couple in Sichuan Province. They originally wanted to take home the mandarin duck quilt, but now they just want to take back the quilt core.

Everything was ready. The groom knelt down on one knee while standing outside the car. The bride opened her hijab and covered it again, this time in a direction where there was no ash hole in the front. The groom swore in the wind and finally got in the car.

He was blocked by people in the carriage two or three meters away. People wanted to play with him. He turned over with great difficulty, using his hands and feet, and his fingernails scraped against the polyester fabric of the seat, making a sound. The bride may not have been able to see the situation.

She leaned back slightly and folded her hands.

He arrived in front of the bride.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"

Everyone could no longer hold back and sang in unison.

On your birthday, you should make wishes. Don't be greedy. As long as what you can get is you and me. This birthday is fake, but it is your and my new birthday. If you want to make a wish, of course you can make a wish.

Lili, no, wife, what wish did you make?

one.

two.

three.

The groom lifted his hijab.

"What kind of wish did you make?"

He seemed to be saying softly.

Is this the groom's voice? Because in this scene in the film, the groom just looked at the bride dreamingly and did not speak.

But she may have received the message. She still closed her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, and even her earlobes were so red that she didn't dare to look at him.
