The morning of the 3rd.
Shao Le rented a shared car and drove to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory.
Lin Keke was carrying a large schoolbag and carrying a large suitcase in his hand. After Shao Le saw it, he quickly got out of the car and helped put the luggage into the trunk.
After getting on the train, Shao Le used his mobile phone to navigate the train station and asked casually: "You have so many things, do you really don't need me to go home with you?"
"No, no, I can do it by myself."
Shao Le drove the car and said, "Pay attention to safety on the road. There are fewer bad guys now, but there are many scammers. Don't talk to strangers in the car."
"I know."
"Remember to send me a message when you get home."
"oh."
Lin Keke looked at the receding scenery outside the window and couldn't help but say: "Monitor, I am not a child anymore."
Shao Le laughed angrily and said, "Are you annoyed with me?"
"No."
"Really or falsely?"
"Not really."
The car drove smoothly on the national highway. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped near the Beijing North Railway Station.
Shao Le got out of the car, took out his suitcase from the trunk, put his big schoolbag on his shoulder, and led Lin Keke towards the train station.
"Monitor, give me your schoolbag."
"It's cold, put your hands in your pockets."
"Monitor..."
"Did you bring your ID card?"
"Bring it."
The two of them walked to the station in the cold wind. They had to swipe their ID cards to enter. Shao Le didn't buy a ticket, so he could only send it here.
"You go in."
Lin Keke took her luggage and said with a rare smile: "Squad leader, I'll leave first. We'll see you next year."
Looking at the smile on Lin Keke's face, Shao Le felt his heart flutter. He had seen many women smiling in front of him, but seeing the pure smile on Lin Keke's face, his heartbeat started to speed up.
"See you next year." Shao Le smiled and waved, watching Lin Keke walk into the station. Until he disappeared from sight, Shao Le smiled and breathed a sigh of relief and drove back to school.
At the end of last month, all colleges completed their exams.
There are no people in the school now, and even the cafeteria only has one or two windows where you can eat.
Shao Le briefly packed his luggage in the dormitory, then braved the cold wind and came to the store.
"came back?"
"Um."
"Shao Le, your three roommates are all working in the store, where did you go alone?" Du Xiangling asked sitting at the counter.
Shao Le rolled his eyes: "It's none of your business."
"Ah."
Du Xiangling didn't take it seriously at all, she said to herself: "I know even if you don't tell me, you must have sent Lin Keke to the station."
Shao Le was too lazy to pay attention to him, sat down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Lin Keke: "Are you in the car?"
Lin Keke: "I just got in the car not long ago."
Shao Le: "How many hours will it take you to get home?"
Lin Keke: "The high-speed train takes five hours, then rides to the county seat for an hour, and then rides from the county seat to the countryside for half an hour. I will arrive home around five o'clock in the evening."
Shao Le: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Keke thought that Shao Le might have to go to the store to help after he arrived at school, so she did not reply to the message. Instead, she put her schoolbag on her back and closed her eyes with both hands holding the compartment of the schoolbag containing various documents and mobile phones. Rested.
Du Xiangling stood up and walked to the sofa, sat down, and said with a smile: "Shao Le, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's up?"
"Can you also take me to the train station this afternoon?"
"I won't send it."
"Why?!"
Shao Le pointed outside and said, "It's freezing outside. I'm afraid of the cold."
Du Xiangling was so angry that she pinched Shao Le's arm and said, "You just sent Lin Keke to the train station."
"She is my girlfriend. Let alone taking her to the train station or to the North Pole, I will go with her."
Seeing this, Du Xiangling pulled up Shao Le's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Shao Le, just give me a gift. Please, okay..."
Ma Yuan couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Shao Le, just take Senior Du to the train station. The store isn't busy anyway."
"Then you go and deliver it."
"If I get my driver's license, I will definitely give it away."
"Then why are you beeping so much?"
Ma Yuan was instantly dumbfounded.
Wei Tao said: "Shao Le, I also have a ticket for the evening. If you want to see Sister Du off, take me with you."
"What time is your train tonight?"
"Seven o'clock."
Du Xiangling said quickly: "I was there around seven o'clock too."
Shao Le then relented and said: "Okay, then you have almost time, go back and pack your luggage, I won't wait for you."
"good!"
…
Lin Keke got off the high-speed rail and got into a car. After arriving at the county seat, he took another bus and finally returned to his home.
Linjia Village is a small village with less than 80 households.
Lin Keke's home is located near the road at the entrance of the village. It is a two-story building with a large yard. When the door is opened, there is an electric tricycle parked on the left. This car is mainly used when going to the fields. There are also piles of bicycles in the corner. A lot of dry firewood has been chopped, which is usually used to burn rural wood stoves during the New Year and festivals.
The door is not locked. In the countryside, the door of every house is open during the day. Even if there is no one inside, no thief will be willing to come to such a small place to steal things.
Lin Keke put down his schoolbag, took out a brass key from inside, unlocked the hall door, and walked in with his suitcase.
The house was still the same as when he left. No furniture was added, and even the placement of the tables and chairs remained unchanged. Lin Keke walked to the door, took a broom and dustpan made from dried kochia grass, and moved the living room on the cement floor. Scanned it.
My mother should still be helping others at this time, and my sister is still in school, but today is Friday, and my sister should also have a day off.
Lin Keke opened the suitcase and took out the two down jackets he bought at the mall.
There is no girl in the world who doesn't like to look beautiful. In Lin Keke's impression, she rarely gets to wear new clothes. Even if she buys a new dress during the Chinese New Year, it might take her two or three years to wear it. The same goes for my sister. Sometimes, she even has to wear her old clothes.
Lin Ke might have imagined the joyful and happy smile on her sister's face after she put on new clothes later, and she started laughing just thinking about it.
But she was suddenly a little worried. When she walked from the village entrance just now, two or three old people in the village kept looking at her. Lin Keke knew that after she left, those old people would definitely talk about her in a low voice, but they shouldn't. What nice things to say.
Lin Keke remembers clearly that the year before last, when she was still in high school, there was a sister in the village who was an e-commerce business in Hangzhou. Because she made some money, she bought a BMW and drove it back to the village. People in the village On the surface they were all envious, but secretly they all said that the sister was working as a mistress in Hangzhou. After this news reached the ears of the sister, she never went home to celebrate the New Year.
What Lin Keke was worried about was that she had just entered her freshman year and had already put on a down jacket costing thousands of dollars. She also bought expensive new clothes for her family. When her mother saw her later, would she think that she too ...I got rich and worked as a mistress for others.
Thinking of this, Lin Keke felt inexplicably regretful. She regretted following Shao Le into that brand store that day and buying such expensive clothes.
Just when Lin Keke was thinking about how to explain later.
The big iron door outside rang.
Lin Keke's heart also trembled.
