Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 85 Clouds in Hometown
Before the National Day, Liu Xiaonan received Gu Yu's reply letter, and the letter was still sent to the school, and he took it back to the textile factory dormitory before opening it.

My little brother: hello!
After reading your letter, I feel very sad, as if when I left the countryside, I left you a box of books, and you caught a few crabs for me.What is sad is not because of your retreat and unfeeling, but because of your pain, helplessness and struggle.Perhaps we were all born into the wrong family.

Whose fault?No one is wrong!
I don't have the courage and determination like you to cut off a relationship like a thread.If the line is cut off, it can be connected, but at most it will leave a pimple. If the relationship is cut off, can it be connected?

Our relationship is not a whim, nor is it different from love at first sight.As you said, friendship lasts forever, why can't love last forever?
I don't want to discuss the destination of love with you. My heart is very confused and annoying.You can wave your hands smartly without sloppy, I can't do it, I can't do it!
I am not a wave, and you are not a coast, your "waiting for another thousand years" is the real assumption and illusion.Why don't you think more about the happy time of "Let's catch dragonflies together", if this can't make you nostalgic, "You give me a seed, I'll give you back a big tree" is a huge lie.

I can understand your pain and choice. It is not your fault that you have always had this kind of worry when we reunited in the textile factory after many years.Frankly, why not me?

Maybe your decision is rational, but I can't be as rational as you.I am not reconciled, we have been separated before, and finally got together and loved each other, watching you go away, my heart is empty.

Since there is no better solution for the time being, it is better to put the feelings aside first.We have our own career pursuits, we are still young, we still have time, don't jump to conclusions, okay?

As you said, leave difficult problems to time, then let time test our love.

It is your dream to enter the university campus, and it is also my dream to improve my thinking and work ability.You are hungry and thirsty, and I am like a fish in water; you pursue your elegance, and I pursue my secularity; you want to understand people's spiritual world, and I want to control people's real life.Let's do our best.

I won't go back to Bincheng during the National Day. I still have some things to deal with here, so I can't spend the holiday with you.Those photos of mine were taken by a classmate of the Cadre Academy for me. The level is very high, right?

It is not surprising to blind a bunch of little girls, but it is my real purpose to blind your dog eyes.You have to keep it safe, and don't lose any of them, otherwise you'll have something to look at.

My study here is also very stressful. I have to study a lot of courses. After so many years, I can’t sit back in the classroom again, and my head often slips.I can't control my thoughts, thinking of all the past and sweet moments when we were together, my heart has no place to rest, and I can't find a moment of peace.

Don't talk anymore, I don't know if people like to listen to it if I talk too much.There are childhood sweethearts who can knit sweaters, like-minded juniors, and a large group of young girls who blatantly love and pursue. I am still very happy when I am not around.

Good luck to your ears!

miss you love you gu yu

The night of September 25, [-]

After reading Gu Yu's letter, Liu Xiaonan stood in front of the window, condescending and blindly overlooking the city and factory area.Wanjia lights are shining brightly, interpreting the complicated black and white world; street lights are like a solidified river, with twists and turns, ups and downs.

At noon on September [-]th, after the last class, the students who were able to go home left school one after another to go home for the holiday.According to the prior agreement, Liu Xiaonan and Meng Xiangxiang didn't have lunch at school, fearing that there would be too little time.

The two took the bus and went straight to the long-distance bus station. They bought the tickets first and checked that there was still some time before they found a small restaurant and ordered two bowls of mutton soup and two fire spoons to rest their stomachs.

Meng Xiangxiang drank the mutton soup with a fire spoon, and looked up at Liu Xiaonan from time to time, timidly and confused.If the answer is not revealed, she will always feel uneasy.

Liu Xiaonan smiled: "It's not easy for senior brother to get the opportunity to go to university, and he will not take the risk of being a human trafficker. Show your courage to walk the mountain road and enter the city alone, don't think about anything, just treat it as a pleasant trip. "

Meng Xiangxiang changed into a calico shirt that she wore when she was at home. It was clean, simple and rustic, and completely changed back to the appearance of a typical mountain girl, which seemed natural and decent.

She held up the bowl and drank the mutton soup with her neck up, looked straight at Liu Xiaonan and said, "I'm not worried, I believe in everything the senior brother has done for me, but I can't guess what a heavy legacy the senior brother is going to show me .”

"If you can't imagine it, don't waste your brain cells." Liu Xiaonan glanced at her watch and said, "It's time to check the ticket. In two more hours, you will get an answer you didn't expect."

After checking the ticket and boarding the bus, the long-distance bus drove out of the urban area and galloped all the way.The golden autumn colors of the vast fields outside the car window attracted Meng Xiangxiang's greedy eyes, and he stared out of the car window motionlessly.

A pretty and lively face is reflected in the car window, with tears shining faintly in both eyes, engraved in the ever-changing and flowing background.

She must be homesick.Liu Xiaonan couldn't bear to break the peaceful scene, couldn't bear to disturb her homesickness, so she kept silent all the way.This is an ordinary journey, this is a journey across the century; originally there is no special meaning, and it cannot be defined by any secular meaning.

A cloud floated in the sky, and that cloud itself had no meaning, and no one gave any definition to that cloud.

Liu Xiaonan turned her head slightly, looking out of the car window through Meng Xiang, his shadow became the background of her shadow.Shadows overlapped back and forth, flowing across the vast background, he watched her shadow eyes, her shadow eyes watched him.

Two hours later, the long-distance bus slowly drove into Fuzhou City, and someone got off the bus to unload the goods.Meng Xiangxiang turned his head and asked Liu Xiaonan, "Brother, where is this?"

"This ancient city is called Fuzhou City." Liu Xiaonan pointed in the direction of the No. [-] Middle School and said, "There is a high school not far away, and I resumed classes there for a year. Our counselor, Teacher Yue Xuelian, also lived here when he was a teenager. However, I moved to Bincheng when I was in junior high school. Teacher Yue’s father was a classmate of mine and my teacher.”

Meng Xiangxiang was quite surprised, his eyes opened wide, and he nodded his head suddenly: "No wonder Teacher Yue is so close to you and always treats you with a pleasant face, but he doesn't treat us like that. You and Teacher Yue knew each other when we were young? "

"I have been studying in the countryside. How can I get to know Mr. Yue? It's a long story, and I will tell you in detail later."

"Is it almost there?"

"It's almost home."

The bus drove out of Fuzhou City and continued to drive along a narrow road.The original tall and sturdy poplar trees on both sides of the road were all destroyed in the typhoon in [-]. Now there are two rows of small saplings planted, with a wide view.

Meng Xiangxiang still looked out of the car window, full of envy: "Brother, the land in your hometown is flat and fertile, which makes people envious and greedy."

Liu Xiaonan hinted in advance: "In the early years, most of the people who entered the Guandong were Shandong people, and most of them settled in the area of ​​southern Liaoning. The land here can attract the footsteps of migrants. It's just that many people have forgotten their ancestors and their own origins. Ancestry."

Meng Xiangxiang turned around and said, "Brother, what you mean is that your ancestral home is also in Shandong?"

Liu Xiaonan smiled and said nothing, he wanted to save the answer to the last.

The long-distance bus stopped in front of the shop on Liuzi Street, Liu Xiaonan took Meng Xiangxiang out of the car, and instead of going home directly, he walked westward to the stone tablet that Mr. Guan left for him.

He asked Meng Xiangxiang to stand in front of the stele, and he went to a nearby farmer's house to borrow a broom and a bucket of water.First, use a broom to clean the dirt and dust on the stele, and pour water to wash it repeatedly, so that the stele is as clean as ever, and the recorded words carved on it can be seen again.

Pointing to the words on the stone tablet, Liu Xiaonan said to the misty Meng Xiangxiang, "Read it aloud."

Meng Xiangxiang glanced at Liu Xiaonan suspiciously, lowered his head and recited loudly and crisply: "During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, three brothers from the Liu family in Lijiazhuang, Qixia County, Shandong Province, migrated across the ocean to Fuzhou City, southern Liaoning due to their poor family background. Head village, thriving and thriving”

It stopped abruptly, and suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Xiaonan, with his eyes wide open, he glanced at the stele and at Liu Xiaonan.Meng Xiangxiang couldn't believe the facts recorded on the stone tablet in front of him, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Liu Xiaonan smiled happily, and put his hands on Meng Xiangxiang's shoulders: "Are you dumbfounded? Why do you think senior brother pays attention to you? You are a white cloud floating from the ancestral home of senior senior brother. This village is called Liuzi Street, and most of them are there The descendants of the three brothers all have the same traditional characters as their ancestral home. I am from the generation of Yun, and from your mother's point of view, we are of the same generation."

Meng Xiangxiang suddenly came to his senses, patted his forehead and said, "I remember, you went to pick me up at the pier on the day the journal opened, and asked a lot of strange things about Lijiazhuang. I thought at the time, this person is so annoying. turn out to be."

"It turned out to be an old friend." Liu Xiaonan took Meng Xiangxiang's hand and said, "Go home with senior brother. Don't be restrained, my parents already know you."

As early as the beginning of the school year, Liu Xiaonan wrote a letter specifically to mention Meng Xiangxiang to his father, and asked his father if he had heard the old people mention it before. I have never been to my hometown to find relatives.

His father wrote to tell him that when he was a child, he heard from the old people that people from his hometown came to find relatives a long time ago.It's just that most of them live a poor life in their hometown, not as rich as here, and they are very indifferent to the visitors from their hometown, and then they completely cut off contact.

Liu Xiaonan wrote to her family in advance, telling her parents that she was going to take Meng Xiangxiang home for the holidays, don't think too much about it, it was just out of respect for her ancestors.

Crossing the highway and walking on the small path in the vegetable garden, Liu Xiaonan saw that the old house in the upper courtyard had been demolished, and his father was standing on the pile of rubble, planning something.

Pointing to the back wall of his home, he said to Meng Xiangxiang who was following behind him: "Look, those old wing rooms are the home of the big brother, the place where I was born and raised, I'm afraid it's no better than your home How many."

Meng Xiangxiang regained his composure from the initial excitement and panic, walking among the green cabbage fields, looking left and right as if returning to his own garden.She looked at the old houses and said: "My house is also a dilapidated house, but it's just the main house."

Liu Xiaonan said: "By this time next year, these old houses will no longer exist, and five spacious new houses will be replaced. Only by adapting the novel of the big brother into a movie and getting a generous publishing fee, will we be able to help Let’s build a new house at home.”

Meng Xiangxiang said: "I have known for a long time that senior brother is great."

"Elder brother doesn't mean to brag. What I mean is that we are all children born in poor rural families. Relying on our own efforts, we can use knowledge to change our destiny and help our parents share their worries."

"Brother, I understand."

"Brother, I will ask you one last time, are you willing to accept my sponsorship to complete your four-year university studies?"

Meng Xiangxiang didn't answer directly: "I won't waste and waste the precious four years of college time."
