Lin Wanwan's legs went weak and she almost fell down in shock. She hurriedly held on to the car glass and looked back at Xiao Lingye with wide eyes, "Where did you say...?"
Xiao Lingye pushed the wheelchair to her side and repeated again, "Quan County!"
"..."
Lin Wanwan was stunned!
God!
Quan County?
It’s actually Quan County?!
You must know that Quan County and Yuncheng are separated by nearly a thousand miles. More importantly, Quan County is a famously poor county in China. Not to mention the remote terrain, the transportation is also very inconvenient.
There is no airport!
No high-speed rail!
There are only very old green trains, and the train station is in the city. From the city to the village where she and her grandmother live, there are several transfers in between. Finally, after arriving in the township, you can't even find a taxi.
, if you are lucky, you can find people from the same village who go to the town to attend the market, and you can take them back with you.
so……
In her young impression, it took a long, long time to get from Yuncheng to Quan County...
And now.
She just took a nap and arrived in Quan County!
This is incredible.
Lin Wanwan looked at the rapidly retreating poplar trees on the side of the road, her eyes quickly becoming misty, "Xiao Lingye..."
"You'll be home soon."
Home……
yes!
When she was young, she moved often. In her mind, those places were not homes, just temporary houses. After her mother passed away, she and her sister were displaced. It was her grandmother who brought the two sisters to Quan County, where they lived.
Six years... In her heart, her grandma is a relative of her and her sister, and Quan County is also her home.
Xiao Lingye said before that he would bring her back after receiving the certificate, but then he had a fight with Long Yutian and broke his ribs, so she thought she would definitely not come back this time.
did not expect.
Xiao Lingye actually arranged everything.
Lin Wanwan turned around, avoiding his ribs, lying on his knees and looking up at him, "Ugh... Xiao Lingye, why are you so nice! What should I do? I suddenly want to hide you, no?"
Let others see it...what if someone else covets you!"
Xiao Lingye rubbed her hair, "It's okay!"
"Well?"
"My heart is so small that it can only accommodate one person. It's useless for others to covet it."
"..."
Lin Wanwan blushed and rubbed against his knee like a cat, "Xiao Lingye, I'm so happy!"
Xiao Lingye patted her shoulder and said, "Go and wash up quickly. We'll be at our destination soon."
"Um!"
After washing up, Lin Wanwan opened the curtains and sat on the sofa by the car window. She held her face in her hands and felt the bumps of the car. She finally had some sense of reality. She looked sideways at the receding poplar trees outside the window.
Looks of remembrance.
"This kind of poplar tree is the most planted in Quan County. Poplar trees grow very fast. They can grow to the width of a bowl in two or three years. People here like to plant poplar trees. When they grow, they have to cut them down.
Sell it for money, or cut it down and use it as beams..."
Xiao Lingye raised her eyebrows, seeming a little confused, "Fang Liang?"
"Haha, you don't understand this. Quan County is a poor county. When I was a child, there were almost no buildings here. They were all mud houses. If the economic conditions were better, they would build brick houses. They were different from those in the city.
Similarly, when building a house here, you need to have eaves, and the roof will be built in a triangular shape to facilitate water flow when it rains and prevent water from entering the house. Then you need to use this kind of beam to support... When I was a child
I also planted poplar saplings with my grandma."
Xiao Lingye listened carefully.
Lin Wanwan held her face and her eyes were attracted by the seeds on the poplar tree. She sighed and said, "But this tree is not very good. It will grow seeds after a certain year. These seeds are not the same as other trees."
, the seeds are wrapped in a shell. After being exposed to the sun, cotton wool will fly out of the shell. Every year in May, cotton wool will fly here... It's like snowing. We came at the wrong time, and now it seems to be falling.
It’s cotton wool season. It’s estimated that cotton wool will start flying around noon. By the way, you’re not allergic to cotton wool, are you?”
"..."
Xiao Lingye looked serious, as if he was thinking. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I've never experienced it... I don't know!"
"..."
All right!
There are no poplar trees in Yuncheng at all, so no wonder he didn't know.
"I'll see you buy some masks in the supermarket later. The cotton here is so powerful that it can penetrate every hole! If you don't wear a mask when you go out, your nose will be itchy for several days!"
"Um!"
The road was really bad and the car kept bumping.
Xiao Lingye's ribs were injured and it was impossible to bear such a bump. Lin Wanwan immediately ordered Xiao Lingye to lie on the bed.
"I'm fine..."
"Stop talking nonsense and lie down quickly!" Lin Wanwan pretended to be angry, "You want to quarrel on the second day after your wedding?"
"..."
Xiao Lingye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only lie on the bed obediently.
"Has the road here always been like this?" Xiao Lingye asked with a frown.
"Well!" Lin Wanwan glanced from the car window, "Hey! Now the road is actually paved with asphalt. However, this road must have been repaired for several years. The asphalt is also thin and the road surface is crushed.
Small pothole! But it’s already pretty good. I remember when I was a kid, the road was dirt. It was fine on a sunny day. But when it rained and a car ran over it, the road was all muddy. Once you step down, the mud can be covered directly.
Where are the calves!”
"... When it rains, my sister and I have to wear rubber shoes when we go to school! Well, you probably haven't seen rubber shoes before. They are like boots and go to the knees. They are made of rubber and are specially reserved for rainy days.
They are waterproof. But when I was young, my family was poor and my grandma was reluctant to buy small-sized rubber shoes, so she bought large ones so that all three of us could wear them!"
Xiao Lingye asked, "Wouldn't the shoes be too big?"
"Of course I can, so I put on my own cloth shoes inside my rubber shoes!"
When Lin Wanwan talked about the past, she had a smile on her face, but when Xiao Lingye thought about that scene, she felt quite uncomfortable in her heart, as if she had taken a bite of an unripe persimmon and her mouth was full of astringency.
.
He pursed his lips and gently grabbed her hand.
Lin Wanwan was lost in memories and did not notice Xiao Lingye's emotions. She kept staring out the window. After the two of them chatted, the sky outside the window had become completely bright.
The sun broke through the red clouds and was blocked by tall poplar trees. As the car drove, it kept swaying among the trees.
There are already people riding tricycles and electric scooters going to the market on the road.
After not coming back for more than ten years, Quan County has changed so much that Lin Wanwan is almost unrecognizable.
But……
When she saw the village in front of her, her heart suddenly beat violently.
