Volume 4 Chapter 16 Countryside Sunset
Bai Fei never thought that from Lei Liang's long memory, he would meet Shu Ming from more than ten years ago.
In his memory, his thoughts divided again.
After returning to reality, he immediately activated that thought. After a long time, he sighed deeply, took back the thought, and continued to devote himself to the thought connecting Lei Liang.
Time passes, and time makes people grow old. Flowers bloom and fall, adding so much sadness. Our parents inadvertently added a few more silver threads to their temples. As young people, we gradually grew up and gradually understood how difficult it is to be parents. We will eventually become parents, and we will eventually grow old. The wheels of time roll forward, never stopping her for anything. How many young men and women have thrown themselves into the torrent of society, struggling, sweating, and bleeding. This is a turbulent era, this is a passionate period. Life continues every day, and scenes of familiar stories are being staged every day.
Night is coming.
At this moment, life in the city really begins. People who have been busy for a day are in the most excited mood at this moment. The worries of work and the helplessness of getting along with each other. At such a moment, everything can be left behind and let yourself devote yourself to the singing, dancing, feasting and revelry. to spend your leisure time. Knowing that tomorrow's life will still be the same, the worries will still be the same, and it is rare to have half a day's leisure, so let's face tomorrow's things tomorrow!
This moment in the countryside is completely different. Those with better conditions can finish work at home early, turn on the TV, watch those already familiar plots, or laugh heartily, or burst into tears; more often, children are urged to open their homework books and move them by themselves. Sit a chair next to the child and shake it gently with a fan. Everything is for the sake of the future of the child, so that they will not be like you and continue the ancient legends of their ancestors; there are also some families who are still busy in the fields. , for them, staying home so early is a shameful luxury.
Lei Liang is such a person.
He turned over the soil absentmindedly, one hoe after another.
Not far from him, there was a figure who was still busy. That was Xiaoqin from the same village.
After a while, Xiaoqin stopped what she was doing and put the tools away. She would continue to work tomorrow anyway, and she was too lazy to move the heavy tools back and forth. She took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face, then picked up the kettle and drank a large amount of water for herself. She glanced in Lei Liang's direction, seeming to be making some kind of decision. After a while, she walked towards Lei Liang.
Xiao Qin came to Lei Liang and asked, "A Liang, are you going home?"
Lei Liang replied casually: "You go back first!"
When Xiaoqin saw his kettle lying on the ground with its mouth open, she knew he had run out of water, so she handed him her kettle and said, "Drink some water!"
Lei Liang didn't say anything, just took it and poured it into his mouth.
Xiaoqin's kettle was still quite stocked, and seeing him drinking happily made her feel secretly amused.
"You take a rest, I'll take over for you for a while." After Xiaoqin finished speaking, she came to take the hoe in his hand, and Lei Liang let go silently.
He drank another large amount of water for himself. By this time, Xiaoqin had already begun to turn over the soil skillfully.
Lei Liang looked at her beautiful figure and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
He didn't want to go home early, nor did he want to work more in the fields. He was just escaping. He was escaping from the loneliness of returning home. How many sweet past events he could only recall alone. When he woke up, the familiar
But the figure had already moved away from him, leaving him with the endless care and loss. During this period of time, he was so confused that he didn't even know what he was doing. What else could he do?
I don’t know when, Xiao Qin stopped what she was doing, came to him, and said, "A Liang, let me tell you something."
Lei Liang was stunned.
Seeing that he ignored her, Xiaoqin felt a little angry. She had no choice but to say, "I'm leaving home."
Lei Liang was not too surprised. His heart had already flown out of the village and he said, "Okay, let's go. I want to leave too."
"No...it's not." Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Xiaoqin wanted to be more detailed but found it difficult to speak. She only felt her face getting hot.
Lei Liang noticed that she was a little strange today, so he took back his thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoqin lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, saying, "I...I'm getting married."
Lei Liang was a little surprised and asked: "When?"
Xiaoqin said: "It shouldn't take long."
Lei Liang asked: "How are they?"
Xiao Qin said: "I have only seen him once. He is quite tall. My mother said that his family conditions are not bad, so I agreed."
Lei Liang asked again: "Then do you like him?"
After all, they were friends who grew up together. Lei Liang asked himself that he could not continue to be indifferent, so he temporarily put his own affairs aside and had a good chat with her for a while.
Xiaoqin said: "I don't know."
Lei Liang was surprised and said, "That is the happiness of your life. You don't even know whether you like it or not. Why did you accept it?"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Xiaoqin said softly: "My parents owed a lot of debt last year, and he...he helped pay it off."
Lei Liang said: "Those are two different things."
The two of them seemed unable to say anything else, so they fell silent.
After a while, Xiao Qin suddenly said: "Ah Liang, actually...actually I don't want to marry far away."
Lei Liang just thought about his own affairs again and has not yet reacted.
Xiaoqin saw that he was distracted and didn't want to continue talking. Finally, she mustered up the courage and said, "Ah Liang, you...can you hug me?"
Before Lei Liang could figure out what was going on, a soft body had already been thrown into his arms.
As she gets older, Xiaoqin likes Lei Liang more and more.
It is not uncommon for men and women from the same village to start a family. In some places, they are more willing to let their children start a family in the local area. No parent in the world wants their children to leave their side far away. However, the possibility of such a thing happening is not high. There are naturally some feudal thoughts at work here.
Lei Liang also had a good impression of Xiao Qin, but it was just a good impression. His heart was already occupied by another person, and he could no longer accommodate anyone else. However, this was the first time he had ever been in such close contact. He stood helpless and helpless. Touching her softness, he was trying hard to resist some kind of temptation.
"A Liang, I know, you don't have me in your heart, I know, I've always known it. But I can't let it go, I really can't let it go. Just think of it as leaving me a good memory!" Xiaoqin leaned against him. On her shoulder, she murmured with a shy blush on her face.
After a while, she took his hand and placed it on her lower back.
Lei Liang calmed down and hugged her gently without pushing her away. He felt a little guilty.
After a while, Xiao Qin raised her head, her lips parted slightly, her eyes closed slightly, her face full of shyness, as if she was expecting something.
Looking at that pretty face, Lei Liang felt a little bit sad
He moved, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him not to do so.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoqin."
Lei Liang released his arms from hugging her and turned his head slightly to the side.
"Farewell, A Liang."
Seeing him like this, Xiaoqin felt a little disappointed, hugged him hard, turned around and left. Lei Liang stood there in a daze, looking even more lonely in such a situation.
Yingzi... Yingzi...
Standing in the room, holding the sachet Lu Ying left behind, Lei Liang called softly in his heart. He placed his sachet on the bed together with hers, and gently stroked it with one hand, as if he was crazy. After a while, he sat on the edge of the bed, held his head in his hands, and sobbed softly. He seemed to want to bury the cry, but he couldn't help but spread his sorrow into the atmosphere. This kind of scene will make anyone feel heartbroken when they see it.
Outside the house, a pair of old men looked at each other, occasionally glancing into the house with helpless eyes. It's not that they don't know why their son is so sad. Their daughter is gone, and their hearts are even more sad. Ever since they picked up a girl from their doorstep and didn't know which parent could be so cruel as to abandon their own flesh and blood, they treated her as if they were their own, and loved her even more than their own son. Winter turns to spring, time flies by, and the little baby back then unknowingly grows taller and taller. The two elderly people did not deliberately conceal their daughter's life experience, nor did they share the same surname with their son Lei Liang. Instead, they chose a name like "Lu Ying", which means the little warbler picked up by the roadside. Lu Ying didn't take such things to heart, and treated them both as her biological parents. Although we are close relatives by blood, the love of birth can never compare to the kindness of upbringing. The two children are childhood sweethearts. The relationship is very good. It has always been a custom in rural areas to raise a daughter-in-law as a daughter in advance. Of course, the two old people also hope that their two children can always stay with them, but there are no absolutes in the world. The children have their own way to go, and they can't change anything.
The old man's eyes are always sharp. They know that their son is very happy for her, and they also know that they, including their own son, cannot keep her, but they have no way to stop their son from being attracted to her. Admiration, just as they could not keep her away in the end.
When boxes full of gifts arrived, the elderly couple knew that they could not keep their daughter no matter what. It's not that they covet these things. If possible, no matter how many gifts they give, they can't exchange for their daughter. They know that based on their conditions and abilities, they will never be able to keep their daughter. Since they are leaving, they should choose a better family. At least, their daughter will not suffer anymore. It's a pity that few people understand such painstaking efforts. It's just misunderstood by others. Even their own sons can't understand it. This is a huge blow to them.
Lei Liang had not said a word to them for several days. The once strong young man had become much older and haggard in an instant. They looked sad but helpless. They glanced inside the door again, and suddenly they seemed to be connected. They looked at each other, slowly walked out, found two stones, and sat down, holding each other's hands tightly.
"Dad, mother, my daughter can't forgive you, and I can't forgive A Liang. My daughter will definitely repay you. Dad, mother, my daughter is gone. You should take more care of yourselves. Let A Liang take more responsibility for the heavier work." , you two old people should get more rest!"
Recalling my daughter's words before leaving, I looked at the fallen leaves outside the house. The two old people leaned together very quietly, as if they were two statues, motionless in the bleak autumn wind.
