Chapter 196 Looking Forward
If you ask yourself, she would.
It would be better to kill her directly than to let her stay there and work hard all day long.
A few years ago, when the topic of going to the countryside came up, those who were pursuing progress would all rush to go, and each of them would specifically request to go to the most difficult and most challenging places.
One family had a son who took the initiative to go to the countryside to support construction. He entered the house with drums and gongs in the streets. He wore a big red flower, looked proud, and left home with his luggage on his back, full of ambition.
But I didn't expect that I would be away for several years, and my household registration was also moved there. Some people saw that there was no hope of returning to the city, so they settled down there and settled down.
Now there is a Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and educated youth can also be recommended to go to university. It sounds like a good thing.
But when it comes to the situation, the hope is slim. The locals are scrambling for it, not to mention the educated youth who are regarded as outsiders.
She still remembers that when she was in elementary school, Feng Xiangxiang was already in high school.
She usually likes to wear floral dresses. Her black hair is braided into pigtails, and the fluttering hem of her skirt brushes against Chen Lan's upturned face.
Feng Xiangxiang saw the silly look of the little girl next door and took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket. Chen Lan still remembers the taste of that milk candy.
The air was filled with fragrance. When young girls walked on the street, many young men couldn't help but peek at them.
Such a lively girl who loved to wear skirts has now died in a foreign land, and her departure was so undignified that people talked about her a lot.
Chen Lan felt dizzy and couldn't control her thoughts at all, which began to wander.
Sometimes she became Feng Xiangxiang, and sometimes she was a bystander who witnessed her death.
No, she would never allow anyone to disrupt her work, she must not go to the countryside!
"I'm still a temporary worker now. I have to find a way quickly. I want to become a regular employee. I don't want to keep washing vegetables."
"If Qin Weihong, a clueless idiot, can be a salesperson, why can't I?"
"What she gave me was like alms to a beggar. Why is she always so high and mighty, while I can only flatter her forever?"
"Wearing clothes she doesn't want anymore, eating leftovers she doesn't want anymore, and even picking up men she doesn't want anymore!"
"I'm as pitiful as a dog, waiting for someone to throw something at me through their fingers!"
"I need to think about it."
Chen Lan muttered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming fiercer.
…
Summer has arrived, and the apricot trees in the yard are bright green, with thick and dense leaves. The sun shines on the shade on the ground like a big umbrella.
A huge ivy is planted at the base of the screen wall between the front and back yards. Its leaves cover most of the wall, making it look lush and vibrant.
There are some wild morning glories at the corner of the wall, entangled with ivy. The purple and pink morning glories emerging from the green leaves are particularly beautiful.
When Hu Tou and Wu Jiabao have nothing to do, they like to secretly pick a few flowers, put them in their mouths, hold their breath, and use them as small trumpets.
Gao Xiulan had been working in the class for a while and had gradually gotten used to it. She even talked about it with Xie Dajiao during meals.
"Xiaotong has been gone for several days, why hasn't she come back yet?"
"What's wrong? You don't want to go to work?"
Xie Da Jiao looked up at her with a smile in her eyes.
"Not really, it's just that without someone chattering in this house, I always feel like something is missing."
On weekdays, when Lin Xiaotong is at home, as soon as she gets home from get off work, she pedals her bike faster than anyone else.
He starts making a lot of noise as soon as he comes home, and tells jokes all over the house.
Everyone in the house was cheerful, and the cicadas on the branches felt it was noisy and flew away with flapping wings.
"Now that you say it, it's true."
Now it’s just the old couple at home. Usually Gao Xiulan talks, and Xie Da Jiao listens with a smile and responds.
Xie Da Jiao touched his nose and said, "When the children grow up, if they all move out and don't live with us two old people, won't you be even more uncomfortable with it?"
"I don't think the young couple is happy about this either. Without us, they won't even know how to cook, and will they be left with nothing?"
"Besides, Xiaotong has already said that she loves the food I cook the most, and she definitely won't want to live alone."
"In the future, we both have to take care of the baby, we can't be apart!"
"By the way, Xiulan, do you think I can use the wood I picked up yesterday to make a crib?"
"It's made of pine wood. It's strong and insect-free."
The gate of the compound is made of pine wood, which is very thick and can withstand decades of wind and rain.
"Old Xie, you have to do it carefully. The baby's skin is so tender."
"Of course, you can trust my craftsmanship. The photo frame I made last time was pretty good. Old Zhou came to see it and praised it a few times."
Gao Xiulan thought to herself: Now that you say that, I feel even more worried.
…
Lin Xiaotong stayed on the island for several days, and the day of returning home was getting closer.
She found that Xie Yi had become more clingy these days, always liking to stick close to her, making her feel so hot that she almost became a little furnace.
"Go away, I'm hot, I'm so hot."
"All right."
Whenever this happened, Xie Yi would always walk away with his long legs looking aggrieved, run to wash his hands, then come back to continue sticking to her, and even fan her considerately.
The two men leaned against each other, Xie Yi was only wearing a white vest, the collar of which was pulled a little too big.
Lin Xiaotong played with the man's big hands and talked as she played.
"I'll be back tomorrow. You have to take good care of yourself. If you have any questions, please write to me."
"It's hot now, so don't take cold showers all the time. It would be better to add a little hot water."
"You probably have to wait until Chinese New Year to go home. I'm going to miss you."
"Our parents are always thinking about you at home. If you happen to be out at sea, please call home and talk to them."
Xie Yi held the person in his arms, holding the small hand with his big hand.
"I understand. I can take care of myself. You and others should worry about each other. It's fine for Xiongchuan and I to live in the dormitory. It's close to the cafeteria."
"It's you who have to work at home. Anyway, you are at home and there is nothing to do."
"Just keep your salary as pocket money. Don't always buy me things. Watches are so expensive. I save my allowance and send it to you for household expenses."
"My mom is a thrifty person. You can buy some meat from time to time to replenish your body."
"My current rank doesn't allow you to join the army, but other things on this island aren't very convenient either, and there are frequent typhoons, which is quite scary."
Xie Yi knew that even if he took a train to see him, the journey from south to north, which took dozens of hours, would be torture.
"I still have to work hard and try to transfer back as soon as possible."
"Wife, I've discovered that people still need to study more. After Dr. Chi graduated, he moved to the island and now everyone has their own room."
He still lives in a single dormitory now, and the people there are not much older than him. It's really amazing.
"I'm almost halfway through that set of books, Comrade Xie, you need to work harder."
She's not bragging, but she has developed the habit of studying alone in her room at night.
"I used to study for an hour or two every night, and Xiongchuan would sit on the upper bunk with his feet up and watch me laugh."
"How could I bear it? I just pulled him down and read with me."
Xiong Chuan graduated from junior high school, and like him, he managed to get a diploma. The eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother, because they were both losers.
For some questions that have no answers, each person will calculate an answer.
The newbies were arguing with each other, their faces red and their necks thick. No one could convince the other, so in the end they copied down the questions and asked Coach Xiao.
Over time, Captain Qiu also found out about it. He patted him on the shoulder and praised him for being ambitious and having grown up smart.
…
The next day, Xie Yi got up early and sent his wife to Guangzhou to take the train.
The train departed at 10:10 am on the first day and did not arrive in Beijing until 8:30 pm on the third day.
The most important thing in my luggage when I returned was the camera that Xie Yi had given me. I put it in a bag to prevent it from getting bumped, and placed it at the very back of my backpack.
Xie Yi brought his men onto the boat, carrying his backpack, and while no one was paying attention, he held hands again.
This time, Lin Xiaotong held her hand even tighter.
