It's only one stop from the subway station to the school.
Lin Lu got out of the car and walked towards the school gate.
Today, when only the third grade students were in class, the school was quite deserted. He put the small umbrella Li Xingruo exchanged into his schoolbag.
On the way to the classroom, the phone in my pocket vibrated.
Lin Lu stopped and looked around to see that there was no teacher around. He used the long sleeves of his school uniform jacket as a cover and quickly took out his cell phone to take a look.
star: "I'm on the subway!"
Lu: "[Funny]"
He didn't expect that Li Xingruo would notify him even when he got on the subway.
However, he didn't think she talked too much at all. After receiving this message, he seemed to understand all her movements, which made him more relaxed and happy.
It is an ordinary small building, just like most houses in the town. However, in recent years, self-built houses are basically not allowed. Even building a house in rural areas is difficult, because some developers have built properties in Wutong Town, so they only
Now that I can buy commercial housing, don't look at Wutong Town, a small place like this, where the housing prices are eight to nine thousand yuan per square meter.
"No, a friend."
"That's right~ He is very nice, polite and hard-working. It's easy to make up lessons."
After returning his expression, Lin Lu put his phone back in his pocket and continued walking to the classroom, his pace much faster than before.
At 8:18, star: "My dad is here to pick me up!"
"I'm leaving! Go back and cook for your grandparents as soon as possible!"
"Why are you here? Didn't your dad say you should go back to the village at noon?"
"hey-hey."
The sky after the rain is blue and clean. There are many wildflowers blooming on the roadside, and the trees are also covered with green. There is gurgling water in the creek that winds far and far away. There are a few ducks floating by the pond, and occasionally there are a few.
A bird landed on a power line across a field, landed and then flew up again.
"It's a holiday."
What impressed me most was that there was a very dirty alley opposite the school gate. The ground was always full of cigarette butts. At that time, bad students liked to gather there, smoke and fight, etc. Li Xingruo always took a detour.
"Grandma! I'll cook for you when I'm back~"
Li Xingruo took off his helmet and smiled sweetly.
"What? Do we need to check here too?"
"It's not until eleven o'clock!"
"yes."
"Yes, the key is in the drawer of the coffee table. You need to wear a helmet. The traffic police at the intersection recently checked electric vehicles for not wearing helmets."
It's different in a small town. She has grown up here for twenty-two years. Not to mention the big places, she is familiar with every small street and alley in the area around her home.
"What cigarette?"
Li Xingruo smiled proudly and received praise from her father. She felt that her busy internship during this period had meaning.
Seeing her daughter riding an electric bike as if she was running away, Chen Yingping was both angry and amused. Seeing that she could be self-reliant, she left the work to her to see what she could do.
"She's so promising! Can our daughter make money to buy gifts for her father?"
"Have you had breakfast? If not, there is lean meat porridge in the kitchen."
"Here, here's a can of green tea and a pack of cigarettes for you! And these skin care products are for mom!"
"Take out your backpack and luggage. I'm going back to check out the store later."
After closing the car door, Li Xingruo stood beside the car, holding his mobile phone, and immediately reported to Lin Lu that he had arrived home.
"I've already said it, why waste that money..."
"Is my mother in the store too?"
Later she learned that swallows fly south near the equator. They fly out of the country, through the ocean or mountains, and reach the south of the world.
The electric car drove slowly along the country road. By this time in April, the fields on both sides of the country road were planted with rice seedlings. They could plant two crops a year. As far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of green land.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xingruo felt that Yanzi was amazing!
Not only can they fly such a long distance, the key is that they never get lost!
Except for her parents, she had never reported her itinerary in such detail to anyone else. It was not because Lin Lu always underestimated her, but today she wanted to let him know that a good sister would not get lost easily!
People are not lost, but their hearts seem to be lost. Li Min looked at his daughter who was holding a mobile phone and sending messages with a smile, and called her twice before she raised her head and replied blankly: "Huh? What's wrong?"
The town is really small, and the only big building is her middle school. Back then, she was the first in Wutong Middle School and was admitted to a key high school in the county.
Li Xingruo took out a few red bills from his trouser pocket, and like a rich woman, he counted two of them and photographed them on the counter of his mother.
Li Xingruo took out the gifts he bought for his parents.
"Hey, what you say is not true, you look happy!"
"Hey, Lao Li, when did you switch to Jadeite Creek?"
【think!】
During the holidays, there are many people in the market, most of whom are riding electric cars, motorcycles or walking. Occasionally, if you accidentally enter a car, the place will be blocked.
Next to Chen Yingping's clothing store is Limin's hardware store.
When Li Xingruo passed by slowly on his electric scooter, his father was smoking and chatting with an acquaintance in front of the store.
She likes to walk on small roads. Nowadays, most of the small roads in the countryside have been replaced by cement roads from the previous loess roads, making it easy to walk.
"mom!"
"Not yet! I'll go to the market to buy some groceries later. Is there still power for the electric car?"
Seeing Lin Lu's reply, Li Xingruo curled up with a cute smile and stopped sending him messages. She deliberately seduced him! She wouldn't have brought him here!
Putting her cell phone in her pocket, the little girl got on the electric bike again and drove slowly into the village.
"It's for you and my dad! Don't be polite to me!"
Li Xingruo pretended not to see it and didn't bother to say hello. He was afraid of being stopped to ask about his salary or partner. As soon as he turned the switch, the electric car drove away with a hiss.
"What did you buy? Such a big bag."
On the contrary, the flowers and plants around me are growing more lush. There has been more rain recently. There is also a trace of moss growing in the gaps between the porcelain blocks on the exterior wall of my small building. There is a swallow that is more than three years old on the top of the corridor on the first floor.
As the temperature warmed up, the swallow couple also flew back. When Li Xingruo got off the car, he saw the swallow couple flying out with their wings flapping.
Li Xingruo hurriedly came over to get her backpack, her father helped her carry the suitcase, and the father and daughter went upstairs together.
Li Xingruo bathed in the nine o'clock sunshine and breathed in the air of his hometown. Although the air quality was not as good as in the village, it became clean and refreshing after a rain. Looking at the changes in the past two months away from home, it seemed that
Nothing much has changed.
"My family Ruoruo bought it. She just went to work and didn't earn much money, so she wanted to buy cigarettes for her father to smoke. I also said that she bought the wrong cigarettes..."
"Hey, you're so rich, Mom thought you were rich."
"Hey, hey?"
Li Xingruo squatted on the ground and opened her suitcase. If nothing else happened, she didn't take out the clothes in her suitcase, so she put the suitcase on the ground like a small wardrobe until she took it back after vacation. This is probably the case for college students across the country.
Bar?
It has nothing to do with being diligent or not. After all, since I lived on campus in high school, the time I spent at home was far less than the time I spent outside. After putting so much effort into packing my suitcase, I had to pack it again within two or three days.
It's better not to disturb it.
Yanzi doesn't have a mobile phone navigation thing! Not to mention throwing Li Xingruo out of Liangxi and letting her come back on her own. Without a mobile phone navigation, throwing her out of Wutong Town, she doesn't even know which direction to go home...
Compared with this, the old mother is more worried about finding a partner. I heard that there are many older leftover girls in big cities. If this were placed in a small county, it would be a serious matter...
Li Xingruo cannot draw, but he feels like he is walking in the painting.
"Oh! I don't care about you then. I'll go back and have lunch with my grandparents later!" Li Xingruo thought for a while and said.
Even if I go home and have nothing to do, I still lie on the sofa and play with my phone and read novels every day, but the feeling of home is always special.
"It rained, but it stopped after eight o'clock in the evening. Isn't it raining in Sunan?"
"I don't know, aren't they all the same?"
Hearing the sound, Li Min's expression softened visibly. He was already fifty years old, and when he smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became obvious.
"Why don't you consider becoming a teacher? Your uncle has an acquaintance there. Let's see if we can arrange for you to go to No. 1 Middle School..."
She couldn't help but pull over and stop the electric car, took out her mobile phone, took a few photos, and recorded a ten-second video.
There is a cake shop near the school gate. Li Xingruo always feels like it is newly opened. Thinking about it carefully, it has been open for almost ten years. At that time, this cake shop was the only cake shop in the town.
"Smoke! Of course! Not to mention the hard box, if you buy Hongtashan for dad, dad will smoke it all!"
"That is!"
But now, the alley has been renovated, the ground has become clean, the old iron sheets have been removed, and even the bad students from back then are gone.
Although this was a scolding from a daughter to her father, it was so agreeable to the ears of the people that he went downstairs carrying cigarettes and tea and went to the store to show off to his old friends.
There is also a barber shop, stationery shop, printing shop, and candy shop next to it... nothing has changed over the years, and the shop owners are still the same people.
In junior high school, she also had a few female classmates who were very good with each other, but because they had different grades and went to different high schools, they gradually lost contact after so many years. When she wanted to get in touch again, she opened the other party's chat box,
I don’t know how to start, and maybe we can’t chat as well as before when we meet. After all, she just started working when she was twenty-two, and some of them may have been baptized in society for many years, and they saw some friends from junior high school get married before.
, now that I think about it, it seems like a world is separated between me and them.
The sun was shining brightly in Liangxi after the rain. A white car slowly parked in front of a small self-built building in Wutong Town. The passenger door opened. Li Xingruo got out of the car and stepped on the spot twice.
Relieve waist and leg fatigue caused by long-term car rides.
"Are you still giving tutoring lessons to that young man who is in his third year of high school?"
Send it to Lin Lu.
"Then did my dad tell you that I bought you a gift?"
"Eat, will you come back for lunch?"
At 8:52, star: "I'm home!"
"Humph! I got my diploma in June, and after I become a full-time employee, I will have a salary of 6,500 yuan, plus 200 yuan for perfect attendance!"
Of course, everyone has different pursuits. She was born in Wutong Town, and she also likes Wutong Town, but she yearns for the vast world outside. She gets lost while stumbling forward, and when she is tired, she returns to Wutong Town.
Take a break and then continue working hard. This is probably the current situation of more young people entering society.
"Who are you sending a message to? You didn't even hear me."
"You usually smoke Yuxi!"
Li Min took the can of green tea that his daughter bought for him. It only cost about a hundred yuan, but with the smile on his face, it looked like extremely precious tea.
"Mom Qi changed the bedding on your bed for you last night."
The small building is self-built and is twenty-five years old. It is three stories high. Normally, my parents live on the first floor and Li Xingruo lives on the second floor. If there are relatives or friends coming over, they can also be arranged on the third floor.
Live upstairs.
Driving an electric car past the gate of the middle school, she took a curious look inside the school. The gate was equipped with an electric gate. It used to be a large iron gate, and a card swiping machine was installed. Outsiders were generally not allowed in.
[Children from a big city! How about it? Do you want to come to your sister’s house to sketch? 】
The electric car stopped on the path in front of her, and the old lady raised her head curiously. After a moment's pause, her smile blossomed, and the wrinkles on her face that looked like dead tree bark gathered together.
"And smoke!"
Her father helped her carry her suitcase to the second floor. There were three rooms on the second floor, and the living room was also very large. However, Li Xingruo usually slept on the second floor by herself, and her parents rarely came up to the second floor. They were basically all together.
Activities on the floor are mainly because I am too lazy to climb stairs as I get older, so entertaining guests and so on are all convenient on the first floor.
In front of a certain two-story building, an old lady was bending down to tidy up her small vegetable garden.
"Are you talking about a boyfriend?"
"...Dad, I just went to work!"
The development of a city always radiates from the center to the surrounding areas. Compared with the earth-shaking changes in the city center, Wutong Town has not changed much in the past ten years. It has only become tidier and has more rules. It has never been like before.
Coffee shops also appeared in Wutong Town.
"Really or not, have you helped others improve their grades?"
Li Xingruo was very experienced. He found a place outside the market to lock his electric scooter and walked inside to buy groceries.
If she were in a big city, Li Xingruo wouldn't dare ride an electric bike because there are too many cars and she doesn't know the roads.
"...Hey, why is it in a hard box?"
It is a small clothing store that sells men's, women's and children's clothing, as well as underwear, socks, etc. There is not much traffic in the town, and the people who come to help are old customers and acquaintances, and the revenue is not bad. My mother wanted to learn before.
Others are doing Taobao, but unfortunately they don’t know how to do it, and the bonus period has passed, and many online stores can’t compare to small stores like this.
“Good smoke, good smoke.”
"I won't be polite to you if you give it to me. I won't have money to spend it later, so don't secretly ask mom for living expenses."
In the past, she always thought that swallows flew to the south to spend the winter, which meant the south of the country, but think about Liangxi, which is also in the south. Even farther south, in Guangdong and Guangzhou, swallows would fly away in winter.
"whee."
The weather was very nice. The little girl put on her helmet and rode her electric bike slowly out of the house.
After buying groceries, Li Xingruo rode his electric bike to his mother's shop.
"Then you earned money from work. When you go back to see your grandparents later, remember to give them two hundred yuan. When you were studying, your grandparents secretly gave you money, right? Do you have any cash?"
"It's up to you. Have you called your grandpa and the others?"
There is a big road from the small town back to the village. Li Xingruo doesn't like walking on the big road because there are too many cars and it's dusty. Sometimes she rides a thin electric bike on the big road and passes by a mud truck full of sand.
The car makes me feel nervous.
When I came to the classroom, I would read, review, and do papers as usual, and the phone in my pocket would vibrate every once in a while.
"I know! I've already prepared the cash!"
Her grandparents had bad teeth, so she bought some vegetables that are easy for the elderly to eat. She bought a piece of front leg meat, two pieces of bitter melon, and two pieces of tofu. She made stuffed bitter melon and stuffed tofu for her grandparents at noon. There was no need to buy vegetables.
, grandma herself planted many vegetables in front of the house.
Li Min took the cigarette his daughter bought for him and was even happier than receiving the cigarette.
"Of course!"
The daughter stretched out her hand towards him, and Li Min quickly put the cigarette in his arms like a treasure, fearing that she would snatch it back.
Li Xingruo simply packed up his things, took his keys and cell phone and went out.
"Dad, didn't it rain at home yesterday?"
At 8:10, star: "I'm in Liangxi!"
"This tea is good."
"I won't go back. Your mother and I are eating in the store. Do you want to go over and eat together or do it yourself?"
"Yuxi must be soft and easy to pump, and hard..."
"Oh! That's incredible! You'll be very promising in the future!"
There is an electric car at home, which is regarded as Li Xingruo’s exclusive car. When a small shopping mall in the town opened three years ago, she won the special prize in a lottery after shopping!
At 7:50, star: "I'm on the high-speed rail!"
Li Xingruo usually doesn't spend much time on the first floor. She feels that it is a place for adults to have activities. Apart from going down to eat and so on, when she is at home during holidays, she usually sits on the sofa on the second floor, playing with her mobile phone, watching TV and reading, especially when she hears
There was the sound of guests on the first floor, and she was too lazy to go down. The entire second floor was her private activity space. If she secretly brought a boyfriend back and hid it on the second floor, her parents would probably not find out.
.
At 7:31, star: “I’m at the high-speed rail station!”
"...Stop smoking! You smell so bad!"
"If you like it or not, give it back to me if you don't."
