go home
But then there were so many things to do and time was tight that it took her a lot of effort just to transfer her personal information. After finally squeezing out that little time, she had to clean the room. It was not until the last day of her stay in Xiaowan Town that she invited Ling Shuang and Ding Zheng to dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
Ling Shuanghao said that she had just mentioned it and the other person was extremely happy, but Ding Zheng surprised her. She had invited him with the mentality of giving it a try at the beginning, but he nodded and agreed on the spot.
The girls had a meal and chatted for a while. Their relationship became closer and their reluctance to part became stronger. When they finally said goodbye, Ling Shuang hugged Xu Nian with red eyes and asked her to keep in touch.
Ding Zheng didn't say much, but gave Xu Nian a complete set of "Shining Examples of Chinese Women" stamps.
"This was issued last year. Didn't you say you dreamed of buying a set of stamps? This year's ones are too hard to get, so my husband got a set from last year."
Xu Nian was so surprised and surprised that she couldn't help but hug Ding Zheng. "You are so kind! How can you be so kind? I am so touched! I am so lucky."
She held Ling Shuang again and said, "I am lucky to have met you. I hope we can all get into our ideal schools, become independent and self-reliant, and never lack the courage to move forward. We can do what we want and realize our own self-worth."
Ling Shuang's eyes were already red, and now tears were falling directly, "Niannian, I can't help it. What you said is very good. Let's work hard together and we will definitely do it."
Ding Zheng's hand was held all the time. She was uncomfortable at first, but gradually accepted it. Most of the time, her life was filled with the idea that girls should not be so picky or selfish and only think about themselves. Marrying into a good family is better than anything else.
In the past, she thought this was right. She knew that she was beautiful and was good at using her beauty. She even used her appearance to find someone that everyone envied. But she was also kind at that time. She had some education, but she couldn't understand why the country made those capable people work in the cowshed. She felt sorry for them, so she foolishly provided them with food and daily necessities secretly. But it was this kindness that made her a pitiful person that everyone gossiped about.
So she didn't dare to be enthusiastic anymore, didn't dare to make close friends with others, and didn't dare to show her ignorant kindness.
She and Xu Nian didn't talk much during the whole semester, and even though they were deskmates, they were not particularly close. However, she envied Xu Nian's vitality and energy. It was not until then that she realized that she still needed friends. The frustrations of the past three years were relieved in that hug.
She thought she still hated those hypocritical people, but she didn't want to lose herself. She wanted to be courageous and positive as Xu Nian said, and live a meaningful life.
The three people each go their own way, but the fate that brings them together is like the flower in the journey of life, which will always be fresh and brilliant in the memory of life.
"Check the important things again, and then we'll leave."
After Xu Hongqi gave Xu Nian instructions, he was still a little worried, so he checked again personally to make sure that he had brought everything he needed. Then he picked up the luggage and took Xu Nian out.
This place was not close to the train station, so they gave some money and lent their bicycles to their neighbors, who let them take them to the main road, then took a long-distance bus to the city. After arriving in the city, they took another bus before entering the train station.
We started at 4:30 in the morning and it was almost 11 o'clock before we finally had a break. Xu Nian was very carsick. After getting off the car, he kept retching and vomited out yellow water. His mouth was bitter and sour.
Seeing Xu Hongqi anxiously standing beside her, she could still smile and say, "It's nothing, I haven't eaten yet, I'll be fine after a while."
Xu Hongqi frowned, "It was like this when you came." After he said that, he thought about the kidnappers Xu Nian encountered when he came here. It might be even more miserable than it is now, and he was in a very bad mood.
Xu Nian felt much better after a while. Just then, he heard that their bus was about to start checking tickets to enter the station. Afraid of the crowds getting worse, the two of them did not dare to delay and quickly rushed to the ticket gate.
It turned out that they were overthinking it. This wasn't a particularly large station, and it wasn't the peak summer vacation period for students, so there were only two scattered rows of basins.
The two followed the crowd and the signs, and soon got on the bus and found their seats.
The ticket indicated that two people were to sit next to each other. Xu Nian was sweating when she got on the bus. She felt a little exhausted, so she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes after sitting down. Xu Hongqi put the luggage away, saw Xu Nian like this, sat down, opened the military water bottle and let Xu Nian drink some water.
Xu Nian shook his head and endured the dizziness, "Brother Hongqi, I'm sleepy and want to take a nap.
Xu Hongqi sat down and moved her head to his shoulder. Seeing that Xu Nian was uncomfortable at this height, he tried to slide down. After a while, he felt her breathing become steady at her neck and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Nian slept deeply and uncomfortably. When she recovered and opened her eyes, she saw that her head was still resting on Xu Hongqi's shoulder, while the person she was resting his head on was only sitting on half of his buttocks, and his posture looked tired and weird.
She quickly sat up straight, but her neck was not responding and felt a little sore and stiff.
Xu Hongqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up, and stood up instantly. "Take some time, I need to go to the bathroom."
After saying this, he left quickly without waiting for Xu Nian's response.
How long has this been going on? Xu Nian couldn't help but wonder if he would get hurt.
Xu Nian held her neck and massaged it gently, then turned it left and right. Now her stomach no longer felt churning. She still felt nauseous, but more hungry. She moved her mouth and felt a sour taste. She wanted to go wash up, but was afraid that Xu Hongqi would not be able to find her.
After a long while, Xu Hongqi finally came from behind with two red tickets in his hand.
The figure came closer and closer until he was right in front of him. "Are you hungry?" He shook the ticket in his hand and said, "Let's go to the restaurant in front to eat."
Xu Nian finally waited for him to come, and said in a humming voice while covering her mouth: "I'm going to go wash up first, wait for me for a while."
She took two steps outside, her hand still covering her mouth, and asked again, "Where is the toilet?"
Xu Hongqi knew her very well. "Just go two cars ahead."
Xu Nian moved very quickly. She took care of her physiological excretion, washed up briefly, and returned along the same route.
The food in the car was not tasty, so after eating, the two returned to their seats and took a nap. After Xu Hongqi made sure that Xu Nian was no longer feeling too uncomfortable, he took out the key questions he had summarized for them to practice.
There was no one opposite them for the time being, and the two of them spent the night freely. After a while, a passenger got on the train. The passenger saw the students opposite studying and was kind enough not to disturb them. The train rattled on for three days before the two finally arrived. It was getting late and there were no long-distance buses here. Xu Hongqi took out his student ID and Xu Nian's household registration certificate and booked two rooms in the guesthouse.
After washing up, Xu Hongqi secretly went to Xu Nian's room at night. The two of them slept soundly without any distractions and checked out. Xu Nian had just gotten over the dizziness from riding in the car, so he got on the bus again, endured the motion sickness and tossed all the way, and finally arrived in Hua County.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Xu's father waiting on the roadside. Xu Qinghua also saw his daughter at a glance. She had grown taller and a little fatter, but she was whiter and looked better. He also had an indescribable feeling. In short, his daughter was better.
His grandfather ran over to take his daughter's luggage, "You must be tired, Dad will take you home, your mom will stew chicken for you at home!"
Xu Nian hadn't seen anyone for a long time and didn't miss him much at first, but when she heard his father's familiar accent, her heart suddenly felt both sour and warm. She hugged his father's arm tightly and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, I miss you so much that I want to cry."
Xu Qinghua had been a rough farmer all his life and had never heard the sweet words of a daughter. His daughter's words made him feel awkward and heart-warming, but also filled with joy. At this moment, he felt that the old generation was wrong. Although sons are good, daughters are better than boys.
It was rare for him to let his daughter go. After the father and daughter finished kissing, Xu's father noticed Xu Hongqi. The child who had left home had grown up and looked a bit like his father. His temperament seemed like a different person. He looked at him with a smile on his lips, and when he paid attention to her, he smiled and called out to her.
"Uncle Xu, I'm back."
Xu Qinghua sighed inwardly and patted Xu Hongqi on the shoulder, saying, "It's good to be back. You've worked hard this year."
Xu Hongqi smiled again.
Seeing her relatives, Xu Nian started to act spoiled. "Dad, was that the donkey cart you drove?" She didn't care about the answer and urged, "Let's go home quickly. I'm all smelly. Let's go home quickly."
Of course, Father Xu didn't refuse. He put their luggage into the carriage, pulled the two of them in, and whipped them home. On the way, he said to Xu Nian, "This is our donkey cart. Your third brother earned his wages, and your eldest and second brothers discussed it and decided to give us a donkey cart. We can also use it to transport people during the slack season."
Xu Nian asked questions and Xu's father answered them. Occasionally Xu Hongqi joined in and said a few words. The three of them staggered home.
After entering the house, there was naturally another round of kisses. Xu Nian hugged her mother, and her mother hugged Xu Nian and refused to let go. The little girl grew up by her side. Although she was away for only a year, the child was first abducted, and not long after returning to her aunt's house, she was abandoned again. Only the two children were left to survive. She didn't say it, but she felt very sad.
The house was bustling with activity, except for Xu Jiancheng and Xu Jianfeng who were at work or school, and their married daughter. At noon, when Xu Nian and Xu Hongqi came out of the shower, her grandparents, uncle and aunt all came over.
While eating, Xu Qinghua stood up and toasted Xu Hongqi. "Hongqi, thank you for taking care of Xu Nian. You have been busy with both study and life. You have been very tired this year."
Xu Hongqi stood up quickly and said, "Uncle, this is as it should be. Compared to what you have done for me, what I am doing now is nothing. Please stop saying this. I will drink this glass of wine."
After Xu Hongqi finished drinking, they sat down together. Xu's mother immediately picked up a piece of chicken for Xu Hongqi, then found another piece, gave the skin to her husband, and gave the meat to her daughter.
Xu Nian was bubbling with happiness, and she also reciprocated by picking up some meat for Xu's mother and father, which made her two sisters-in-law feel very uncomfortable. They reached a consensus that Xu Nian would not say anything before the college entrance examination, and if the results were not good enough, they would have to give an explanation. They thought they had done a good job as sisters-in-law.
But unexpectedly, they didn't say anything. Someone said that in the middle of the lively eating and drinking, Xu Xiuman said, "Xu Nian, are you confident about the college entrance examination this time?"
