Wen Ci had been standing at the entrance of the train station for a long time. It was not until the sound of a whistle in the distance gradually approached that he suddenly realized that the train had arrived without him noticing.
He glanced at the train and then looked away. There were people coming and going at the entrance and exit of the train station, but unfortunately the person he wanted to see never showed up.
But that's true, I didn't tell her that I was leaving today, otherwise, with that girl's personality, she would definitely come to see me off.
It’s better not to see you…
Leaving quietly like this might stop the girl from thinking about me.
"Comrade, the train is about to leave. Why are you still standing here?"
The train conductor who was maintaining order had been paying attention to Wen Ci for a long time. He saw that the man was carrying his luggage and looking at the exit, but he never got on the train.
This absent-minded look makes him look like an unsatisfied and resentful husband.
"ah?"
"Sorry, comrade, I was distracted!"
This was already the umpteenth time he had lost his focus today, and Wen Ci felt that he was nothing like his original self.
If he had looked like this when they first met, the girl might not have even looked at him twice.
At the urging of the conductor, Wen Ci boarded the train.
Although he got on late, the train was still noisy.
The people who had come up before had not all put away their luggage. At this time, the entire aisle was crowded with people, and all kinds of debris were piled at the feet, making it very difficult to move forward.
But no matter how difficult it was, I finally reached my seat, put my luggage on the rack above, and then sat back in my seat.
Sitting next to him was an old man who looked to be in his 60s. Like him, he seemed to have poor eyesight and was wearing almost the same pair of glasses.
He just took a quick look and didn't pay too much attention, but he still felt somewhat relieved.
After all, it is more pleasant to have a companion with high quality than to meet those aunties and grandmas who take the bus with chickens and ducks.
I don’t know whether Wen Ci was lucky or unlucky, but there were a lot of children on the train he was riding.
Especially the naughty little boys, when the train starts moving, these children can no longer stay quietly in their seats.
Even with strong parental control, these little calves still can't be stopped.
They shuttled back and forth in the carriage, and when they ran, they completely ignored others and would occasionally bump into passengers sitting in the aisles on both sides.
Wen Ci's arms were bumped by the kids several times. At first, the kids' parents would come over and apologize to everyone, but gradually, seeing that no one cared, they just ignored it.
"Young man, what happened to you? I see you've been in a bad mood since you got on the bus."
The old man who had been sitting next to Wen Ci had been observing him for a long time.
Whether it was the kids bumping into him or any other noise, nothing seemed to get the attention of the young man next to him.
This person seemed to have lost his soul, absent-minded and distracted, sitting quietly with his bag in his arms.
As an old man who had experienced this, he could immediately tell that this person had experienced emotional setbacks.
Combined with many situations of this era, the old man also made many guesses in his mind.
Gradually, he became curious about the young man next to him and wanted to strike up a conversation with him.
It has to be said that gossiping is not just exclusive to women. Sometimes men can be just as scary when they gossip.
"Thank you for your concern, old man. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired!"
Wen Ci originally wanted to say that he was fine and didn't want to be disturbed, but seeing the other person's kind expression and the other person's age, he responded tactfully.
But he really didn't have any interest in chatting right now, he just wanted to be alone in peace and quiet.
I don’t know what the little girl is doing now. After all, the college entrance examination results have not come out yet. The little girl should still be working in the supply and marketing cooperative, right?
Wen Ci didn't want to bother with anyone, but the old man didn't want to let him go.
"Young man, are you having emotional problems?"
"Looking at you like this, you should be going to Beijing, right? Are you reluctant to be separated from your lover?"
"Young man, listen to me, the working people are the most glorious. If you meet a good girl, don't give up easily."
"Whether they are from the city or the countryside, they are all good sons and daughters of our great motherland. The most important thing for a couple to live together is to like each other. Only a happy marriage can help people go further."
"This is a new era. We can't have the old mindset of only considering family background!"
Although the old man's guess was not entirely correct, he was somewhat right.
It seems that the old man regarded Wen Ci as an educated youth returning home.
Over the past year, many people have been able to return early.
There were some educated youth who married and had children in the countryside. In order to return to the city, some of those with bad character would choose to abandon their wives and children in the countryside.
Household registration information was not complete in that era, so these people took advantage of the loophole.
The old man also looked at Wen Ci's appearance and knew that he was not a heartless person, so he made a few special remarks.
"Old man, you misunderstood me. I haven't been married yet!"
With Wen Ci's emotional intelligence, he also understood that he was misunderstood.
He quickly waved his hands. He didn't want to be regarded as a scumbag.
"You're not married yet, so you have a girl you like here?"
When the old man heard that the man was not married yet, he felt relieved.
As long as it's not Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife and children, this matter will be easy to handle.
Especially after he asked this question, Wen Ci immediately fell silent, and the old man knew that he had guessed it right this time.
"Young man, listen to my advice. It's not easy to meet someone you like in your life. When it comes to relationships, men need to take responsibility and be more proactive."
"This is respect for the girl and also respect for this relationship."
"Once you miss out on love, there will be no chance to regret. Anyone you meet in the future will no longer be the one in your heart."
“Even if you encounter some minor problems now, one day in the future you will look back and see that they are just a small bump in the road of life.”
"So don't be intimidated by the difficulties before you. We must strive for what we should work hard for. If we work hard and do our best, we won't have any regrets even if we fail in the end."
"If you're not even willing to make an effort, then even if you regret it later, how can you face the person in your heart?"
The old man said a lot in succession, and Wen Ci kept all of his words in mind.
These words had a profound impact on his heart.
Yes, if you miss it this time, you will really miss it in this life.
If a country wants to develop and its society wants to progress, it cannot do without talents.
Wasn't this what they had been discussing? Why did he back out when the time came?
