He went to Tunjin City for graduate school. I saw his back at the station, carrying a large black and red schoolbag and two suitcases, one of which was a newly purchased silver roller suitcase.
And I stayed in the house that his parents prepared for him, which was also the house where we planned to get married in the future.
I was the only one there preparing to take the Qingdan exam for World War II.
Before leaving, we ate a bowl of wontons at the wonton shop downstairs in the row of old buildings next to the station. We added the spicy food unique to Shaxian County snacks. It was delicious. After eating, I sent him on his way.
Then my struggle alone in that big house began,
The second time I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, I was studying with Jiqing when I first started. During the process, he would often make video calls.
In this house with three bedrooms and one living room, a large bathroom and a large kitchen, I study alone. Maybe because I am missing the company of others, and without him, I am alone, and I am not less interested in studying later. I start again. I was lazy, which also led to me failing again in the end and not passing the exam.
During this period, he came back because he really wanted to visit me. From Tunjin City to the small county town of Jiangbei, it was nearly 800 miles.
But because he was still a student at that time and had not yet made any money, he took the cheapest train to Lanjing City several times, and then transferred to a long-distance bus. He said that every time he could stay at home for a while, he would always take the morning bus. A train came here around four o'clock to reunite with me, and I went back a day or two later, and came here several times the next weekend.
Because there was only one person at home, it was very troublesome for me to prepare meals by myself, so I often took a small bicycle to my third uncle’s house several miles away for dinner, and every time I had to climb a very steep slope. Getting up there, that car is particularly difficult.
It was quite hot in the summer, so I bought a sun hat. In the winter, there happened to be snow, very thick snow, and a lot of it turned into frozen snow. The third uncle said, don't come, okay. Danger, I didn’t listen, I still got rid of it,
I almost died that day. I was at a turning intersection. The road was very narrow and there might be snow. I lost control in an instant. The car fell down with me and slid for about 10 meters. Fortunately, there was no car at the time. , if there is a car, I guess people won’t have time to brake. People passing by ask me if I want to help? I said no, then I struggled to get up and push the bicycle and limp towards my third uncle’s house.
It was quite cold that day, so I had a meal at their house and took the dinner with me.
Sanguma was very kind to me. Once she packed several boxes of leeks for me, and another time she gave me crabs. The crabs were braised in brown sauce and were delicious. Although they were small crabs, they were full of flavor. Kill an old Muji or something, and then eat a lot of delicious food at their house.
He also took time to take wedding photos with me. The day the wedding photos were taken was at the end of December. His home was in Jiangbei and it was very cold. We got up early, at three or four o'clock.
We had a bowl of wontons at home, cooked some dumplings and then went out.
We arrived very early and their store wasn't open yet.
The street lights on the street were not very bright at that time. Even though we were all wearing thick down jackets, we still felt very cold.
We were standing at the window of the bridal shop, and I still remember that there was another Little Bear Photography shop next to it, which specialized in taking photos of children.
At that time, I was waiting in the cold wind, feeling a little sleepy, especially the kind of courage that only appears in novels. I still clearly remember that the three-story building opposite was very dilapidated, and one of the windows looked like the outline of a wooden frame.
We waited for a long time before they came.
After I came here, I put on makeup and other things. I was busy for a while and prepared a lot of things.
There is a photographer and a female makeup artist, they are two people,
Later, a few more male photographers came, and we got in a car and set off.
It was very dark, around 4 or 5 in the morning. It must have been 4 o'clock. They took us to a small breakfast shop to have breakfast.
That breakfast shop has a lot of beans and various types of breakfast, and there are about a dozen kinds of pickles, and you can choose them freely. If they are not enough, you can add them.
They paid for breakfast that day,
At lunch time, they also invited me to dinner, which made Shen Jie feel so embarrassed to always ask them to pay. He said give me money, and I said you wanted to give it, so you gave it to him, but he insisted on giving another 100 yuan. Give it to me, ask me to give it, but then I won’t, and I’m embarrassed,
Later, after pushing and pushing, they found out, and then I said to him, I said he would give you money,
They said no, no, we'll just pay.
The wedding photos that day included both interior and exterior scenes, and were taken in many places. There was an ice crystal castle that looked like Frozen, and there was a particularly elegant and sunny purple dress.
Also, on location, I think this place is really nice and romantic.
There is also a place with a small lake and boats.
We went back after the wedding photos were taken, and the photos that came out turned out to be really nice. On the one hand, maybe they were young, talented, and pretty.
On the one hand, the scenery is beautiful, and on the other hand, their shooting skills are superb.
Another memorable one was taken in the dark night. I remember it was on the way back to the county town, around six or seven o'clock. It was extremely dark at that time, there were no street lights on the highway, and many big trucks were coming from the side. Galloping past quickly,
They drove by the entrance of a village, and we were facing each other by a lake. They added a firework circle on the other side of the lake, and the circle created by the firework remained in the background of the shooting.
I can still imagine that photo. In the cold wind, the woman is wearing a single wedding dress, and the boy is facing her in a suit. Their background is a circle with fireworks, which looks particularly cool. Sunny tune,
Not long after I had the wedding photos delivered to my home, there were several large ones and several small ones. We hung the largest one in the bedroom so that we could see it again when we came back.
