At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the high-speed train arrived at the station.
When Shao Le helped carry the suitcase and led Lin Keke out of the train station, the bright sun outside was daunting.
The driver of the black car who was guarding the exit of the train station saw Shao Le and Lin Keke coming out and immediately asked them where they were going in his native dialect. Shao Le couldn't understand and could only follow Lin Keke out of the crowd. Squeezed out.
It took ten minutes to walk from the train station to the bus station under the bright sun. After Lin Keke bought the ticket, he took Shao Le on the bus back to the small county town.
The car was filled with a strong smell of gasoline, which became even more pungent under the sun.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the car, so two people sat down side by side at the back.
"how much longer?"
"A little over an hour."
Shao Le nodded and said no more. Lin Keke looked at Shao Le's side face and asked softly: "Monitor, are you tired?"
"It's okay, just a little sleepy."
Lin Keke said, "How about you take a nap? I'll call you when we get there."
"How can I sleep when the car is shaking like this?" Shao Le stretched out his hand to hold Lin Keke's little hand and asked with a smile: "It's better to sleep when we get to your house. By the way, do you have a free room at your house?"
Lin Keke had already thought about this issue. She said, "You sleep in my room, and I will sleep with my sister."
"also."
Shao Le looked out the car window and said, "Keke, let me ask you something. Do you think your mother is willing to live in the city?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"I'm thinking that when I get rich in the future, I can take your mother and your sister to a big city. If you don't want to go to a big city, I can buy a house in your urban area to save you a trip home. It’s so troublesome.”
Lin Keke blushed and said, "I...I don't know."
"You can ask your mother when you get a chance, or I can ask."
"..."
A bumpy ride.
After the bus arrived at the small county town, Shao Le bought a fruit basket and a box of blood-replenishing health products at a lifestyle supermarket. He originally wanted to buy a bouquet of flowers, but Lin Keke said no, this is not popular in the small county town, Shao Le said. Le thought about it and gave up.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the shuttle bus going to the countryside finally stopped at the entrance of Linjia Village.
Shao Le and Lin Keke got off the car and took out their luggage, but neither of them entered the village immediately.
"Monitor, I'm a little nervous~"
"Why are you nervous? It's me who should be nervous, okay?" Shao Le said with a smile: "If you are embarrassed to say that I am your boyfriend, just say that I am your monitor."
Lin Keke nodded and finally walked towards home.
Walking a dozen steps along the main road in the village, you can see a century-old camphor tree with lush branches and leaves. At this moment, many women and old men in the village are sitting under it to enjoy the shade and chat.
Seeing Shao Le and Lin Keke coming from a distance, everyone under the shade of the tree looked at them.
"Hey, isn't that Guizhi's eldest daughter? She's on holiday from school?"
"All the college students have been let go."
"Maybe the handsome guy next to her is her boyfriend? He looks pretty standard."
"..."
Shao Le heard their discussion from afar, but he didn't react at all. On the contrary, Lin Keke was a little shy and turned his head to look over there.
When the two of them walked past the camphor tree, a woman in her fifties holding a cattail fan shouted in her native dialect: "Keke, is that your boyfriend next to you?"
Lin Keke didn't know how to respond for a long time.
"Yes." Shao Le replied when he saw this.
Lin Keke's face suddenly turned red. She grabbed Shao Le and walked quickly forward. Seeing this scene, the woman with the cattail fan shook her head and said, "It's really a transformation of women."
"Wasn't Guizhi's eldest daughter very introverted in junior high school and high school? She kept her head down all the time. Why did she have a boyfriend as soon as she went to college?"
A man with a bulging forehead sighed: "I still want to wait until my youngest son finishes college and let him marry Guizhi's daughter."
"She is studying in 211 University, and you want to marry her even though you have a junior college degree. You are thinking very well."
"..."
Lin Keke stopped and stood outside a large iron door, daring not to go in.
Shao Le asked: "Is this your home?"
"Um."
"Then what are you still standing for? Go in."
Lin Keke stepped forward and opened the door. The yard was exactly the same as when he left, nothing had changed.
In the room, a girl wearing a blue and white school uniform was sitting in the room quietly writing her homework. When she heard the door to the courtyard, she got up and took a look into the courtyard. When she saw Lin Keke, she immediately shouted One sentence: "Sister!"
Lin Feifei ran out of the room quickly, but when she stepped forward and saw Shao Le, she was stunned again and looked at her sister with curious eyes, as if she wanted her sister to introduce her.
Lin Keke said with a little embarrassment: "He is..."
Shao Le smiled and said: "Hello, I am your brother-in-law."
? ? ?
Lin Feifei's smart eyes suddenly widened. She couldn't believe that her sister had brought her boyfriend home so quickly.
When Lin Keke heard this, he looked at Shao Le with a resentful look, as if to say: Can you be more serious?
Shao Le smiled as if he was replying: I'm not wrong.
Lin Keke quickly changed the subject: "Feifei, where is mom?"
"She went to the fields and should be back later."
"oh."
Lin Keke breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the living room with Shao Le. Shao Le put the things he bought on the table and asked casually: "What high school is your sister in?"
"It's the second year of high school when school starts."
"How are the results?"
Lin Keke said: "A little better than me, there is a chance to reach Qingbei."
At this time, Lin Feifei happened to bring two glasses of water over. When she heard her sister talking to the boy who claimed to be her brother-in-law, she shyly stepped forward and handed Shao Le a glass of water.
Shao Le smiled and said: "You have to work hard and try to get into the capital."
Lin Feifei was too embarrassed to answer the question.
Lin Keke said to her sister: "Feifei, I will take you to the capital to work in the summer vacation in a few days. I have found a job and a place for you. You can prepare yourself."
"what are you doing?"
Shao Le rushed to say: "Let's fry chicken steak in the store with your sister. There are not many people in the store during summer vacation, so it won't be very tiring."
Lin Keke nodded.
The three of them sat down on the bench in the living room. Shao Le took a sip of water and felt a little sleepy.
Sisters Lin Keke and Lin Feifei were at home, feeling a little restrained because of Shao Le's presence.
The second hand of the clock was ticking in circles.
The sun was about to set.
Carrying a bamboo basket full of fresh vegetables, Zhao Guizhi finally set off from the fields and returned home.
When passing by the old camphor tree.
The cattail leaf woman laughed and said, "Guizhi, why do you still have the heart to go to the fields? Your family has brought your boyfriend back."
Zhao Guizhi thought it was a joke and laughed: "How is that possible?"
Several other women also echoed: "We saw it this afternoon, why don't you go home and take a look."
Zhao Guizhi thought for a while and walked quickly home.
Pushing open the big iron door, Zhao Guizhi shouted: "Feifei, Feifei, is your sister back?"
Lin Feifei walked to the door first and nodded towards Zhao Guizhi.
Immediately afterwards.
Lin Keke and Shao Le also walked beside Lin Feifei. Lin Keke lowered his head and shouted: "Mom."
Shao Le smiled slightly: "Hello, aunt."
