When it was almost dawn, Xiaowei fell asleep. Vaguely, Xiaowei heard the alarm. She habitually took out her mobile phone from under the pillow. At 7:00, it was time to get up and go to class.
She sat up and saw Li Li next to her. She patted her head and said it was a day off. She slowly lay down again and reached out to hug Li Li from behind.
Li Li also woke up, turned around, hugged Xiaowei into his arms, and said, "Xiaowei, I have to go to work today, can you do it alone?"
Xiaowei pouted and said, "But, but I want you to accompany me!"
"Good boy, I have to go to work!" Li Li said, letting go of Xiaowei and getting up to get dressed.
"Just one day!" Xiaowei sat up and saw the bright red on the bed again.
"Xiaowei, we are no longer students, how can we just ask for leave!" Li Li said.
Xiaowei buried herself in the quilt angrily. After graduation, Xiaowei went to the mountains while Li Li stayed in the city. Xiaowei couldn't give up the iron job she finally got into, and Li Li couldn't find a job in the mountains, so the two started a long-distance relationship. Xiaowei always believed that as long as they were in love, distance would not be a problem.
Xiaowei remembers that when she was in college, whenever Xiaowei was unhappy, Li Li would drop everything and stay with her. But now, she feels that Li Li has a clear sense of distance from her. She wonders if it is an illusion. Maybe people will change after entering society!
When Xiaowei was in school, Li Li was always on the phone, telling her that he missed her over and over again. They were eager to meet, so as soon as the holiday was over, Xiaowei came without hesitation.
She thought that Li Li missed her as much as she missed him, but Xiaowei couldn't feel that kind of enthusiasm. Even last night, a night that was so meaningful to Xiaowei, seemed so casual to Li Li. .
Xiaowei hid under the quilt and listened to Li Li wash up and go out. He didn't even say a word to her. She sat up, looked at the bed, touched the red color with her hands, and tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
After a while, Xiaowei felt a little nervous. Maybe Li Li really had important work to do? She collected her thoughts and looked at the rental house.
Like all boys' houses, Li Li's house was messy. Xiaowei smiled. The boy just didn't know how to take care of himself when he was alone outside. He might be too busy. How could he be so willful again?
Xiaowei went to the bathroom and took a shower. The pain from last night had been relieved a lot. Thinking of what happened last night, Xiaowei couldn't help but blush again. After taking a bath, she took off Li Li's sheets and took a photo of the red color with her mobile phone. This was her mark of completely giving herself to Li Li, and she had to treasure it well.
After taking the photo, she sent one to Li Li and washed the sheets. After washing the sheets, she cleaned the bathroom. There was a small table next to the bed and a small drawer under the table. Xiaowei thought of last night. , something Li Li took out from the drawer. She had never seen anyone before, but every time she went to the drugstore, she always saw it at the entrance. At that time, she was embarrassed to look at this thing.
Xiaowei opened the drawer, and there was a blue box lying inside. She took it out curiously, looked at the instructions, and her face turned red instantly. She also understood what Li Li meant when he said to protect her last night.
She was a little bored, so she dumped all the contents in the box on the bed and counted them.
"One, two,...eight, eight?" She said to herself, "I used one last night, that's a box of 9. This box is quite durable!"
She felt her face was burning. It seemed that Li Li had already prepared it. She hurriedly packed up the things that had fallen on the bed and was about to put them back. Suddenly her eyes fell on the packaging of the box, "10 sticks".
Her hand stopped in mid-air. There were 10 pieces in a pack. Did she count wrong just now?
She hurriedly opened the box and counted it again, but there were still only eight sticks left. She rummaged under the bed and in every corner of the room to make sure it wasn't there and that she hadn't dropped it somewhere!
Xiaowei suddenly fell into boundless darkness. Yesterday, Li Li used it very easily, and it was familiar to him. It didn't look like he was using it for the first time. A terrible thought emerged in Xiaowei's mind.
Thinking of Li Li's indifference to her, Xiaowei's heart suddenly ached. He must have had another woman! She originally thought that Li Li was also insisting on the things that she had always insisted on, but she didn't expect that Li Li had already...
Xiaowei sat up from the bed and looked at the bed in front of her. She suddenly felt so dirty. Here, maybe Li Li had an affair with another woman and told another woman about her love. Or maybe there was one The woman left a trace of bright red.
Xiaowei squatted on the ground, hugged her legs, and cried loudly.
She didn't dare to call and question Li Li. Her pride didn't allow her to do so. She didn't know why. Since Li Li already had other women, why did he let her come? Was it just to get her and then dump her?
Thinking of this, Xiaowei packed up her things. She had to escape from this place quickly. She didn't want Li Li to see her spineless tears. Originally, she thought she knew Li Li very well, but now, Li Li is in her memory. blurry.
She dragged her luggage on the street, tears falling unsatisfactorily. She hailed a taxi and went straight to the station. Sitting on the bus home, Xiaowei looked at this strange city. Yesterday, she came here with great expectations. Today, she was devastated.
Xiaowei returned home, and her parents were surprised and happy to see her back. She went to the mountainous area to teach for a semester. Her parents didn't want her to be fake, but because her family was not rich, the round-trip fare cost a lot of money. I still tell her every time, don’t run home if nothing happens.
"Didn't you talk about training? Why are you back so soon?" Xiaowei's mother asked after taking her luggage.
Xiaowei hid her sadness and said, "The training is cancelled, and I'll be back!"
"That's good, Xiaowei, how is your job? You have to work hard. It's not easy to have an iron rice bowl now. You don't know how many people in the village envy you!" Mom said with a smile.
"Yes, Xiaowei, our family is not rich, and dad's health has been taking medicine for many years, which is dragging you down. The school you went to is not a famous one. You should cherish having a job!" Dad also agreed.
Xiaowei agreed without arguing. Xiaowei had heard these words since she was a child. The poverty and suffering in her family were repeated in her ears by her parents over and over again. She knew that she did not have the capital to be willful, just like she was admitted to a university. In the eyes of parents, the extremely remote mountainous area is already an iron rice bowl that everyone envies.
Recalling that when she first passed the exam, Li Li once objected to her going to teach in the mountains. Li Li hoped that she could work hard in the city with him, but Xiaowei couldn't. Such a job, in the eyes of her parents who have been farmers all their lives, is already heaven. The greatest gift.
She originally thought that love could conquer everything, but she didn't expect that, haha, she was still too naive. Distance can't produce beauty, only one more person will come.
"Xiaowei, mom is asking you if you are in love!" Mom asked with a smile.
"No...no!" Xiaowei always remembered her mother's words, study hard and don't fall in love, so she was cautious when she was with Li Li and didn't dare to let her parents know.
"Haha, Xiaowei, you used to be a student, and students would just play the piano randomly when they fell in love. But now that you are working, you can date. If there is a suitable teacher in the school, you should hurry up. Think about it if you also find one. Teacher, how wonderful the days will be in the future!" Mom was nagging.
"No, the school is full of veteran teachers." Xiaowei was a little impatient.
"So, what about other schools?" Her mother was not going to let her go.
"Mom, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while!" Xiaowei looked at her mother tiredly.
"Let the child go and have a rest. He will start asking questions as soon as he comes back." The father hurriedly pulled the mother and said.
Her mother also noticed her tiredness and had no choice but to let her rest.
Xiaowei returned to her room. The house at home was still the mud house left by her grandparents. When it rained, it would rain heavily outside and light rain inside. She would fall asleep. When she returned home, she relaxed and slept soundly. Excellent.
When she woke up, it was already dark. Her parents saw that she was sleeping soundly and did not call her. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was 6:00. There was an unread message on her phone. She opened it and saw that it was Li's haircut. The time was around 5:30.
"Where have you been? I'm home from get off work!"
Looking at this line of small words, Xiaowei had a lot of thoughts. When he came home, he didn't see her, but just sent her such a text message. He didn't reply to the text message, nor did he make a call. Xiaowei felt that she was so distressed that she couldn't breathe.
She didn't know what she was feeling. Do she still expect Li Li to look for her like crazy and explain to her? Should she ask him where the missing thing went? Forget it, what's the question? Do you want him to tell her personally that he used it with other women?
"I'm home!" Xiaowei thought for a while and replied with a short line of small words.
Li Li called. It took a long time before Xiaowei picked up: "Why don't you play for a few more days?"
"Li Li, let's break up!" Xiaowei said slowly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Li Li said hoarsely: "Okay!"
Xiaoyan's heart felt like being pricked by needles. She originally thought that as long as Li Li asked her why, she would ask him if she was with someone else. As long as Li Li explained, she would be willing to believe him and she would return to him without hesitation. But all she waited for was the word "good".
Xiaowei hung up the phone. At this moment, she was really heartbroken. All her expectations and attachment were wiped out at this moment.
Three years, and finally ended with two simple words, she even doubted whether Li Li ever loved her.
She huddled up in the quilt, shivering, the past two days had been like a dream, how she wished it was just a dream.
Her mother came into the room, lifted her quilt, and found that she was shivering. She quickly touched her head: "Oh, Xiaowei, you have a fever!"
Then she went out to call her father. Her parents took her to the hospital together and gave her an infusion. Her mother said anxiously: "Xiaowei, why did she fall ill as soon as she came back? Is she acclimated?"
"Nonsense, this is where she grew up, how could she not adapt to the climate? It's normal for the weather to change and get sick!" Dad said.
After returning home after the transfusion, Xiaowei fell asleep again. In her dream, he and Li Li held hands and ran and ran. Suddenly, she was the only one left. She woke up with a start, sweating profusely. We obviously agreed to leave together, so why did we leave her behind?
It was late at night, and Xiaowei looked at the moon in the sky. When reading, Li Li always liked to take her to sit on the grass and watch the moon and stars.
That is, on a moonlit night, Li Li confessed affectionately that Xiaowei had never been in love. The boy in front of her was clear-cut, clear and handsome. She nodded shyly.
Li Li just broke into her life, and she felt that life was beginning to look promising. They went to class together, finished class together, and looked forward to the future together.
Like her, Li Li's family is not rich. When other people fall in love, they usually send flowers and gifts, travel and watch movies. Their love mostly involves working together and eating meals together for a few dollars in the cafeteria.
Their love was not vigorous, but more mutual. Xiaowei always felt that she would marry Li Li. After experiencing the joys and sorrows, she would know how to cherish it more, so she gave herself to Li Li without any reservation.
Now recalling the past, Xiaoyan felt empty. She couldn't figure out when Li Li changed.
She was once very lucky that everyone around her was separated and reunited, but they were the only ones who stayed the same. She never thought that their love could not escape such a fate.
Perhaps, she went to the mountainous area. In order to save travel expenses, she did not come out for a whole semester, and Li Li did not go to see him.
Colleagues once asked her if she had a boyfriend, and she firmly said that she did. Her colleagues assured her that it was impossible for them. She also vowed that she would definitely marry Li Li. Now it seems that she is really a big deal. joke.
It is said that the first blow to go ashore is to kill the person you love first. Her colleagues advised her to be realistic. He was just a part-time worker now and they were no longer in the same boat, so they should make plans in advance.
Whenever her colleagues say this, she doesn't want to hear it. She feels that her love cannot be tarnished like this. After all, it is her first love. How can she be willing to let it die?
The next day, two people came to the house. My mother smiled happily. When she heard carefully, she found out that they were here to talk about matchmaking.
"Xiaowei's mother, your Xiaowei family can now be considered as a national rice bowl. I have a nephew who is also an iron rice bowl. How about letting them do everything?" The visitor got straight to the point.
"I have no objection. The main thing is to take care of the children!" Xiaowei's mother said.
"My nephew's family is in very good condition. He has built two large houses. He will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future!" the visitor continued.
Xiaowei walked over, pulled her mother and shook her head.
"What's wrong? My daughter, now that your job is stable, it's time to think about life's major events!" The visitor said when he saw Xiaoweila's mother.
"Auntie, I don't want to look for you. Besides, I work in a mountainous area, which is far away from our place, so it's not suitable!" After Xiaowei finished speaking, she turned and left.
The visitor quietly approached Xiaowei's mother's ear and said: "Your Xiaowei's attitude probably means she has a boyfriend. You'd better be careful. The little girl doesn't understand anything. Her parents have to keep a close eye on her."
Xiaowei's mother listened without saying anything, but she was very happy in her heart. If the Tathagata really said that Xiaowei had a boyfriend, he must be a school teacher. She thought it was good.
Xiaowei's mother has never felt that her children should marry into wealthy families. She has always felt that it is important to be well-matched. Her own family conditions are not good, and if she finds a family with good conditions, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family.
Now that Xiaowei has become a teacher, she feels that marrying a teacher is the best choice.
