Every party in the world comes to an end, no matter whether we got along harmoniously or not, once the college entrance examination is over, everyone goes back to his own home and finds his own mother.
Du Miaoshu lives in the county town. Her parents went to school to pick up their children. Before leaving, classmate Du hugged little classmate Le and complained about the pain of parting with her nose and tears. She was pushed and pushed by classmate Le. Give it to Father Du and Mother Du to take it away.
After spending her last night at school peacefully, Leyun got up early the next morning, unpacked her luggage, and left school to go home.
There was no one to say goodbye and no one to accompany her. She left alone just as calmly as when she reported to the school by herself. There was no sadness or reluctance. No matter how good the three years were, Bad experiences, good or bad, are all in the past, and people should look forward.
She originally wanted to visit Grandpa Li, but she had too much luggage and it was inconvenient to carry, so she decided to go home first. Of course, she did not forget to call to send her Dragon Boat Festival greetings.
Fang County has jurisdiction over 12 towns and 7 townships. Mr. Le was born in the most remote Jiudao Township. The earliest long-distance bus from the county to Jiudao leaves at 8 o'clock. If you can't make it in time, then She had to wait for the nine-thirty train. Leyun got up before seven o'clock and arrived at the bus station before seven-thirty. She bought a ticket and then went to have breakfast and wait until o'clock to get on the bus.
There are more than thirty students from the same town who are in their senior year in several high schools in the county. In the morning, there were also people who were catching the early train like Le Yun. When Le Yun got back to the car, she found that Zhang Jing was also catching the same train back. At home, fortunately, one sits in the front and the other sits in the back, so there is no overlap.
Jiudao is more than 150 kilometers away from the county seat. The car shook for more than three hours and it was nearly 11:30 before we arrived in the countryside.
June 9, Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival and one of the most traditional solar terms in rural areas. Every household celebrates the festival, and the air is filled with the scent of rice dumplings and mugwort and calamus.
The car parked in an open space in the countryside. Leyun didn’t want to meet Zhang Jing, so she got off the car through the front door. She had a tow truck, a large woven bag, and a backpack filled with washing supplies. The buckets were all stuffed to the brim, making it inconvenient to carry them in and out of the car, so we had to move them in two steps.
"Lele, Lele-" Classmate Le unscrewed a large woven luggage bag and turned around to drag the suitcase, when a dark-skinned woman in her thirties drove a car that was most suitable for the elderly. The electric tricycle that was traveling came in front of the car and braked to the ground while shouting.
Hearing a familiar voice, Le Yun, who had just stepped on the car door step, pulled back her foot and looked over, "Aunt Feng, are you still out on the street today?"
Le Xiao's classmate The woman named "Aunt Feng" is her neighbor. Her real name is Zhou Qiufeng. She has two brothers in the family. Brother Zhou and Dad Le are the same age. They grew up together. Zhou Qiufeng is three years younger than her brother, and she is twenty. She got married at the age of four. Because she had no children after many years of marriage, the couple's relationship broke down, and they divorced and returned to her parents' home. The younger generations in the village usually called her Aunt Feng or Aunt Feng.
Zhou Qiufeng is 1.57 meters tall. Her skin is tanned due to years of labor. Her hair is pulled into a bun with a hairnet. She wears black cropped pants and a short-sleeved casual shirt. She is full of energy.The beauty of health.
Every fair day, she often sets up a stall on the street to sell home-grown side dishes or seasonal farm products. She is always generous in doing business, cheerful and cheerful, and she doesn’t like to be fussy about business. Very good, I usually close my stall earlier than others every time I go out.
Zhang Jing got out of the car and heard Zhou Qiufeng’s shouting. She looked towards the front of the car and turned around angrily. Zhou Qiufeng’s wife is from the Zhang family, but the Zhou family would rather be friendly with the Le family than the Le family. When visiting her family, she did not dare to challenge Zhou Qiufeng, because the latter was not a fuel-efficient lamp. If someone was in a hurry, he would be very arrogant and aggressive.
"I'm here to sell some calamus, mugwort, and mugwort today. I just closed the stall and stopped by to see if you've come back. There's nothing left that I haven't moved down yet." Zhou Qiufeng walked to the car door in three steps. Run in the car.
There are few people in the countryside. Unlike the city which is bustling every day, the streets are full of goods only on the fair day. March, June and September are the fair days in Jiudao Township, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the fair day.
During the Dragon Boat Festival in rural areas, there are eccentric lucky charms of calamus, mugwort and peach branches tied together at the door. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, many people pick calamus, mugwort and tie them into bundles to sell.
Le Yun smiled with her eyes shining brightly. She didn’t believe that Aunt Feng was just closing the stall now. Aunt Feng was waiting for the bus to arrive at the station to take her back “by the way”.
The conductor runs the Jiudao Line all year round and knows Dele’s junior classmate. He handed Zhou Qiufeng the trolley suitcase and bucket that she had not moved.
Zhou Qiufeng got out of the car with the things, screwed them back on the tricycle and put them away, then quickly went to grab the large woven luggage bag Le Yun was about to carry, "How can you carry such a heavy thing with such a skinny body like you?" You're back."
"Aunt Feng, I'm not that weak." Le Yun followed, put down her luggage, and climbed into the tricycle carriage with her hands and feet.
Zhou Qiufeng drove back to their home in Meizijing Village in a hurry. As for Zhang Jing, she saw it, but she selectively pretended not to see it, so she would not pick Zhang Jing back just because she was on the way.
Meizijing Village is sometimes referred to as Mei Village. It is a natural village among the four villages under the direct jurisdiction of the township. It is located on the edge of the township and has a total population of about 500.
Everyone wanted to rush home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. The market had dispersed early that day, and there were not many people on the streets. The vendors were also closing their stalls and preparing to go home, so the roads were not blocked.
The electric tricycle beeped across the street, turned into the main alley and passed through the alley, and then swayed back to Plum Village.
The Le family lives in the east of the village. Zhou Qiufeng drove a tricycle and drove straight to the east along the cement hardened road in the village. As soon as he reached the center of the village, he met Zhang Jing’s mother, Sister-in-law Wu, driving an electric motorcycle. They talked to each other. When giving way, Sister-in-law Wu said loudly, "Qiufeng, you went to pick up Lele again. Don't talk about others, even I almost thought you were a family."
"What did Sister-in-law say? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It doesn’t matter if I go to the street to sell goods and take little Lele with me. I didn’t see your Zhang Jing. If I did, I would bring her back. Anyway, the cart will be empty when I come back. I will bring one or two children with me. It won’t tire anyone.”
WuMy sister-in-law opened her mouth with mean words. Zhou Qiufeng felt unhappy and immediately retorted.
"Hey, you didn't see my Xiaojing. She saw you and just called me to pick her up." Sister-in-law Wu didn't get the favor and immediately changed her words
The implication is that you are telling lies with your eyes open.
“Why didn’t I see anyone?” Zhou Qiufeng said as if she had an epiphany. “Hey, Sister-in-law Wu, the same goes for your Zhang Jing. She and Lele don’t get along very well. Why don’t they even look at me and refuse to look at me?” If you call me, just call me, I will bring you back with you, and there is no need for you to run away, Sister-in-law Wu.”
It was not Sister-in-law Wu who became her own child in the end. He said that he didn't want to talk, and drove the electric motorcycle to pick up the child.
