On the train to Xinyang.
Chen Luo glanced worriedly at Gao Shanyue, who had been sleeping soundly since getting on the bus. She was slumped in the seat with her coat loosely draped at her side. Even her face was covered tightly, but her hands were exposed. It was already a habit for Chen Luo to take care of her, so seeing this, she quickly grabbed Gao Shanyue's hand and stuffed it into her clothes.
The latter hissed softly and muttered, "Damn it, I won't come again."
The temperature in her palm was really high, so Shen Luo gently pushed her: "Shan Yue, do you have a fever?!"
Gao Shanyue's face flushed, her lazy eyes were full of spring light, she looked around, yawned and said, "It's okay, just help me get a pot of hot water."
Shen Luo glanced at her in surprise, and quickly took out the enamel cup from the package, muttering, "Sure enough, she is sick."
In the past, when the two of them went out, Gao Shanyue always took care of everything and did everything by herself, leaving no room for Chen Luo to perform. When she fell ill, she finally showed some of the delicate demeanor of a girl, and Chen Luo was happy to take care of her. She took the enamel cup and went to the place to get hot water.
Only after the other person's figure disappeared did Gao Shanyue change his posture with difficulty.
Damn Su Jianshan!!
This is the type that even Gao Shanyue can't handle.
She took advantage of the man's sleep, stuffed the pillow into his arms and then escaped.
What the hell is this?!
Gao Shanyue knocked her head in frustration. She really didn't know how to face Liu Tao now. Fortunately, she was going on a business trip the next day. She might as well stay for half a month before returning. Who knows, maybe that little elf Su Niannian could solve all the problems? !
Thinking of the silly Su Jianshan,
For the first time, there was a look of confusion in Gao Shanyue's eyes.
"By the way, Shanyue, why didn't we buy a direct train to Xinyang this time? I saw Qinghe was written on the ticket. Why are we going to Qinghe? Or do you have other plans?!" Chen Luo took out the white flour steamed bun that she had prepared in advance, broke it into pieces and threw it into the enamel pot, then pushed it to Gao Shanyue with hot water.
The latter held the cup in both hands and said expressionlessly, "I'm going to Qinghe to deliver something."
Hidden in her package at this moment was a letter that Su Niannian had given her in advance, which was more important than her life.
…
Just after the New Year, Qinghe was still covered with heavy snow.
Xue Weidong came back from the black market, his toes were frozen stiff, he was wearing cloth shoes, all soaked by the melting snow. The moment he pushed the door open and walked into the house, a little head popped out of the shabby thatched house, with knots on her dry yellow hair, and a little girl with a missing front tooth grinned and said, "Brother, how are you today?!"
Xue Weidong's eyes, which were as cold as a knife, gradually softened: "I won't let you starve."
As he spoke, he took out a multi-grain bun from his pocket and handed it to the girl. The bun still had the boy's body temperature, and it was warm. The girl took it happily, and when she was about to take a bite, she remembered to ask, "Have you eaten?!"
"I've eaten a long time ago." The young man swallowed inconspicuously.
"Look at the vegetables! They are so fresh and delicious..." The girl chirped like a sparrow. There are no such fresh and tender cabbages in Qinghe in winter. I don't know how Xue Weidong cultivates them. He can always tinker with all kinds of fresh vegetables and then transport them to the black market to sell.
It had been almost half a year since the two of them were driven out of the village. They had been relying on Xue Weidong to sell vegetables and flowers to make a living. Both of them were in poor health and fell ill every now and then. Sometimes Xue Weidong even felt that he was like that old man and would not live long...
He put his fist to his lips and coughed weakly twice. While his sister was eating, he picked all the vegetables with his big hands, which were covered with new and old wounds.
Then,
He carried the backpack and headed towards the black market in town.
The affairs of the Xue family were known to everyone in the county. As the protagonist of the scandal, Xue Weidong was looked down upon. Even when he went to the black market to sell things, he had to be repeatedly forced down to a lower price by those people.
When we came out of the black market, it was almost evening and the snow had stopped.
The state-owned restaurant next door was bustling with noise and the aroma of stir-fried meat wafted through the air. This air seemed a luxury to Xue Weidong. Starving, he silently picked up a vegetable leaf from the basket and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to feel full.
"Xue Weidong?!"
A green figure came against the light, blocking his way. The figure was very tall, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. Seeing that he didn't answer, he even looked a little impatient: "Are you Xue Weidong?"
Xue Weidong's throat choked for a moment, and he said coldly: "I don't have any money now."
Gao Shanyue: “???”
This unfortunate child! What are you talking about!
Gao Shanyue said impatiently: "Just tell me if you are Xue Weidong from Shanghe Village?!"
"yes."
As he answered, a letter fell into his arms. The envelope had no postmark, which showed that it was brought privately. Xue Weidong grew up in Qinghe and had no relatives living outside the city. Seeing this, he frowned and asked, "Is this a letter from you? Who are you?"
"My friend asked me to bring it to you. By the way, she said she studied under Yang Jianfeng."
This sentence made Xue Weidong look sideways. All his skills were taught by Old Man Yang. Although the other party was in the cowshed, his heart was far away. Before he died, he was still muttering about those unfulfilled wishes. He also said that he would take him away from this small mountain village if he had the chance.
Xue Weidong was in mixed feelings. He was about to ask, but saw Gao Shanyue striding away, as if saying one more word to him would be a waste of time. Her noble temperament was completely different from a kid like Xue Weidong who lived at the bottom of society. He retracted his gaze, tore open the envelope with trembling hands, revealing a corner of Great Unity inside. Xue Weidong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he ran back home at the fastest speed in his life.
The girl was still picking up dog poop on the hill when she saw her brother running towards the house like crazy.
She was so scared that she immediately dropped the stick and followed him home. As soon as she pushed open the bamboo curtain at the door, she saw Xue Weidong, who was always strong, with red eyes, holding a piece of paper and several big unity sheets, and smiling with his canine teeth showing: "Girl, brother... brother wants to take you to the northwest——!"
Money, maps, letters, medicine, the other party described it clearly in the letter. For Xue Weidong, it was a ray of light in the darkness.
Even if it was for his sister, he had to go through this...
