I love you for the rest of my life

The sky was slightly bright, with some blue-gray colors.

Brushing his teeth, Zhang Ju'an stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Xingzhi, who was still asleep, but he didn't wake up after shaking for a few rounds.Zhang Juan had no choice but to put his hands under the dripping faucet, it was almost freezing cold.

"Ah!" Zhou Xingzhi screamed, and the other people in the dormitory who were still asleep were awakened, stared at it bewilderedly, turned over and went back to sleep.Zhou Xingzhi pointed at Zhang Ju'an, acting as if he could do what he did.

After finally waiting for the school to close for the weekend, they can go back to Qingtian for a day or two.Zhang Juan waited for Zhou Xingzhi to wash up and left the school together, and the two went to have breakfast first.Standing in front of a pancake stand, Zhou Xingzhi yawned, but still felt sleepy.

"Boss, two copies."

"okay."

Seeing the boss skillfully flipping the pancakes, Zhou Xingzhi yawned again, feeling like tears were about to come out.

"All right."

"thank you."

After Zhang Juan paid the money, he handed one of the copies to Zhou Xingzhi.The two ate while walking and came to the bus station.

"Ju An, it's too early, Xiang Xiu should still be in bed."

"Ah."

Zhou Xingzhi's jaw was about to drop: "Then why did you torment me so early?"

"Come sooner rather than later."

Zhou Xingzhi was about to cry: "Pancakes can't make up for me."

"and then?"

"I have to go to your house for dinner when I go back to Qingtian Town."

"But you eat too much."

Zhou Xingzhi stared straight at Zhang Ju'an: "Is this a human speech?"

Zhang Ju'an couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.Seeing the bus coming, Zhang Juan prepared the change and turned around and asked, "Zhou Can, do you have any?"

Zhou Xingzhi fumbled in his pocket and took out one yuan.The two got into the car one after another. After inserting the coin, Zhang Juan walked to the last row and sat down, followed by Zhou Xingzhi.There were not many people in the car, and some elderly people who went to morning exercises looked energetic in a full set of casual clothes.Zhou Xingzhi, who had eaten breakfast, felt even more sleepy, the bus swayed, and he simply leaned on Zhang Juan's body.

"Call me when you arrive at the station. I'm really sleepy. I'll wait a while."

It didn't take long to arrive at the station. Zhang Ju'an patted Zhou Xingzhi's face: "Zhou Can! We're here! Wake up!"

Zhou Xingzhi closed his slightly opened mouth, opened his eyes suddenly, rubbed his face and got out of the car behind Zhang Juan.The two who crossed the zebra crossing walked slowly to the gate of the school where Xiang Xiu was, and found an obvious place to stand and wait.The uncle in uniform in the guard room stood up and took a few glances before sitting down.Zhou Xingzhi folded his arms around his chest, bowed his back slightly, and kept staring at the exit.

After all, it was the weekend, and several people could be seen coming out of it one after another.A few girls came out together, and before they left the school gate, they saw two handsome guys standing at the school gate.

Seeing them blushing and hurrying past, Zhou Xingzhi proudly poked Zhang Juan next to him: "See, this is my brother's charm."

Zhang Juan ignored him and continued to stare inside.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiu didn't keep them waiting for too long, and she called out before she arrived: "Brother!"

Seeing Xiang Xiu running away, Zhou Xingzhi took several steps back in fright: "See! This is a wild horse that has run away! A pig that rushed out of the fence! It's terrible!" Zhou Xingzhi said and went Take a step back.

Xiang Xiu ran fast, stopped firmly in front of Zhang Juan, stretched out her arms and hugged Zhang Juan: "I miss you so much!"

Zhang Juan smiled and touched Xiang Xiu's head.Xiang Xiu let go, but held Zhang Juan's arm tightly.

"Zhou Fudong, have you bullied my brother?"

Zhou Xingzhi rolled his eyes and said, "You two are the only ones who bully me."

Xiang Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, it's time to drive home."

Xiang Xiu hugged Zhang Juan's arm and Zhou Xingzhi started fighting each other, walking noisily.This scene happened to be seen by Shi Yang who had just walked out of the school gate, and he frowned involuntarily, watching them go further and further away.

Cheng Yuan, who was riding a black heavy locomotive, gave a beautiful sweep in front of Shi Yang and stopped steadily.Cheng Yuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Yang: "What are you looking at?"

Shi Yang withdrew his gaze, caught Cheng Yuan's cigarette between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, put it in his mouth and lowered his head slightly, Cheng Yuan lit the lighter and handed it up.Shi Yang exhaled a puff of white smoke, stepped into Cheng Yuan's car and left.

After about an hour's drive, the three of them got off the car in the small town of Qingtian and walked towards home talking and laughing.Zhou Xingzhi really came to eat with his brother and sister. He planned to have breakfast before going home. After all, his aunt's craftsmanship is really good. Zhou Xingzhi has eaten a few meals since he was a child.

As soon as I arrived outside the small courtyard, I heard a noise and the sound of smashing things.Surprised, the three of them hurried in and saw four or five people in the yard, while the house looked like a mess.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Xingzhi was the first to rush up, feeling very annoyed, this was too lawless.

Xiang Jiufeng heard the familiar voice, hurried out the door, and saw three children standing in the yard.

Zhang Juan stepped forward and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Xiang Xiu was also anxious, she asked worriedly: "Mom, have they bullied you?"

Xiang Jiufeng waved his hand and didn't rush to answer, but walked up to those people: "I really don't know where Li Chang is, I have nothing to do with him for a long time, we have been divorced for many years."

"Heh, you belong to Li Chang, even if you get divorced, you won't stop contacting him. He owes so much money and runs away. If we don't stare at you, who can we stare at?"

A tall and thin man in a black shirt gave Xiang Xiu a meaningful look, and continued, "What's more, you and Li Chang have a daughter, so it's impossible for him not to contact you."

Xiang Xiu was annoyed: "I'm not his daughter, so don't come to my house again, or I will call the police!"

The man continued to laugh: "It's only natural to pay the debt, little girl, if you can't find your father, then you have to pay the debt. Next time you come here, it won't be as simple as throwing things away. I advise you to let Li Chang pay it back." Money, you can hide it on the first day of the lunar new year but not the fifteenth day, if we catch him, he will be very attractive."

Zhang Ju'an still took a step forward and pulled Xiang Xiu behind him, Zhou Xingzhi stood with Zhang Ju'an without any timidity, and looked at these people in front of him viciously.

"Will you leave? If you don't leave, we will call the police. You are trespassing illegally, and you are deliberately destroying other people's property and trying to threaten them! Your behavior has already been suspected of breaking the law!"

Zhang Juan listed their actions calmly, without any fear.

"Humph, remember what I said, we will visit again!" The man in black bit the word "visit" hard, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and after speaking, he turned around and walked away with several others. up.

Xiang Jiufeng felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted, and he slumped on the stone steps powerlessly.Zhou Xingzhi walked into the room to put down his schoolbag, picked up a chair that had fallen on the ground, and slowly started to pack it up.Zhang Juan didn't say a word, just like Zhou Xingzhi, he started to tidy up the messy things lying on the ground.

Xiang Xiu walked up to Xiang Jiufeng with almost red eyes, took her hand, and said in a crying voice, "Mom, it's okay."

Xiang Jiufeng had mixed feelings in her heart. No matter how many years passed, Li Chang was like her shadow, which she couldn't get rid of. Even if he didn't appear in front of her, he would always torture her like a nightmare, making her feel like a nightmare. No peace.

Zhang Juan swept up the smashed things on the ground, Zhou Xingzhi found a fairly strong bag and put them all in.After the two cleaned up for a while, the house became tidy and clean again, and what was missing could be bought and replaced slowly.

Zhou Xingzhi was squatting in the yard, holding a hammer to knock on the fixed nails. The broken wooden chair could still be used after being fixed.Zhang Juan also came in and out, and those large objects that were damaged beyond repair were thrown into the trash can outside.

They haven't eaten breakfast, they have been busy.Xiang Jiufeng and Xiang Xiu wet the towels and scrubbed in the room.Until it got dark, Xiang Jiufeng took the three children to a hot pot restaurant in the town and ordered a lot of dishes.Four people sat around the table, and the waiter served a pot of hot tea and poured them a cup each.

Xiang Jiufeng showed a relaxed smile, and could see her dimples: "Children, what do you want to drink?"

Zhou Xingzhi was the first to raise his hand and said, "I want a Coke, a big one."

Zhang Ju'an glanced at Xiang Xiu, she should still be thinking about that matter, she was in a daze from the time she came in to sitting down, not in the mood.

Just like after the person named Li Chang made trouble in the past, she would become quiet, and would sit blankly by herself, and no one wanted to talk to her, but when she woke up from sleep, she would act like a normal person again, still alive and kicking Xiang Xiu.

"Mom, I'll just drink tea and give Xiangxiu a glass of orange juice."

The hot pot began to boil hotly, and the dishes were served.Zhou Xingzhi was really starving, and he began to feast on it unceremoniously.The piece of meat stuck in his mouth was still steaming, so hot that Zhou Xingzhi opened his mouth wide and breathed out.

Xiang Jiufeng was amused by him: "Zhou Can, slow down!"

Xiang Xiu began to regain her vitality: "It's like running away from famine, I'm afraid people will snatch you."

Zhou Xingzhi bit the straw and took a sip of Coke, then picked up another meat roll: "Of course, with Xiangxiu, the king of big stomachs, I'm afraid."

Xiang Xiu rolled his eyes at him, and quickly picked up Zhou Xingzhi's meat roll with his chopsticks.Zhou Xingzhi suddenly felt that Xiang Xiu had cut it from him, and the pain was so painful that he was about to cry.

The originally boring meal became less boring amidst Zhou Xingzhi and Xiang Xiu's fights.Zhang Ju'an didn't say much, he was basically picking up food for them, and what he picked up was their favorite food.Looking at all this, Xiang Jiufeng smiled from the bottom of her heart, but she was so sad.

After the meal, they paid Jiufeng, and the four of them left the hotpot restaurant.The moonlight in Qingtian is very bright tonight, hanging there shining brightly on everyone.At an intersection, Xiang Jiufeng stopped and asked Zhang Juan to take Zhou Xingzhi home, and then walked home slowly with Xiang Xiu.

"Mom is leaving tomorrow."

Xiang Xiu was caught off guard, stopped and didn't go any further. Looking at her mother's determined face, she felt very sad: "Mom..."

Xiang Jiufeng stretched out a hand and gently put it on Xiang Xiu's thin shoulders, her eyes were full of reluctance: "Xiang Xiu has grown up and is already 17 years old. I will take my brother back to my grandmother's house on weekends. ?"

Xiang Xiu's nose was sore, but she still held back her tears: "Yes."

"Mom goes out to work to earn money, so don't go back to this place again, stay away from those people, understand?"

"Um……"

Xiang Jiufeng took Xiang Xiu's hand and continued walking.The night wind in Qingtian gently blew across Xiangxiu's face, her eyes were cool, but the tears still did not flow down.As Xiang Jiufeng said, Xiang Xiu has grown up.

Zhou Xingzhi and Zhang Juan walked side by side, they didn't speak, but they understood each other, some things needn't be said.After crossing one street, we arrived at the area where Zhou Xingzhi's house was located. Zhang Ju'an could still see that the lights of Zhou Xingzhi's mother's grocery store were still on, and two moths were chasing there under the lamp head in front of the fruit stand.

"Ju An, you go back."

Zhang Juan nodded, patted Zhou Xingzhi on the shoulder, turned and left.Zhou Xingzhi stood under a dim street lamp, watching Zhang Juan go away and disappear.

When Zhang Ju'an came home, Xiang Jiufeng was packing her suitcase, so he knew it without asking.Zhang Juan took a cup of hot water and put it on the table, then sat down and waited quietly.Xiang Xiu said he was sleepy, so he was the first to go to sleep. There was no light in the room, and it was dark.Xiang Xiu leaned on the pillow, tightly grasping the corner of the quilt with one hand, her eyes were wide open, and she carefully listened to the movement outside.

Xiang Jiufeng packed the suitcase and carried it to the living room, Zhang Juan raised his head and met Xiang Jiufeng's same gaze.Xiang Jiufeng came over and took the cup of hot water that Zhang Ju'an had prepared for her. The temperature was just right. She sat down and took a sip, feeling that her throat was not so dry.

"Ju An, get along well with your sister, don't always spoil her, you know?"

Zhang Juan nodded.

"Mom is the least worried about you. You have always been sensible, and you have always been my mother's pride." Xiang Jiufeng smiled gratifiedly: "I will be back soon, don't worry."

"Well, Mom, you should go to bed early."

Zhang Juan's steps into the room were still heavy, and so was his heart.Xiang Jiufeng took another sip of the glass of water and sat for half an hour.Xiang Xiu bit her finger, suppressing the urge to cry, but she couldn't act like a child, crying and pretending to ask her mother to stay.

Back in the room, Zhang Juan sat on the edge of the bed without turning on the light.There were many such nights in Qingtian, the dull breath stuck in their hearts, again and again.

A difficult night passed, the three of them woke up extraordinarily early, had breakfast together, went out together and took a ride to the train station together.Xiang Jiufeng went to the ticket office to buy a ticket. It was the first train to leave.Xiang Jiufeng lined up at the security check place, Zhang Juan and Xiang Xiu were by his side all the time, moving slowly with the line.Seeing that he was almost there, Xiang Jiufeng hugged Zhang Juan and Xiang Xiu one by one to bid farewell.

When turning around and waving, Xiang Xiu was smiling, and so was Xiang Jiufeng, but the moment they walked away with their backs turned away, it felt like a thorn in their hearts.

When the train whistled for the second time, the train was already moving. The sound was far away and seemed very near.

"Brother, did you hear that? The train is leaving, isn't it?"

Zhang Ju'an held Xiang Xiu's wrist, but didn't speak.Xiang Xiu looked at Zhang Ju'an inquiringly, tears filled his eyes and swept across his cheeks.Zhang Juan frowned slightly, and his eyes slowly turned red. He stretched out a hand to help Xiang Xiu wipe away tears, then hugged Xiang Xiu into his arms distressedly, and patted her on the back. Comforting her emotional outburst at this moment, Zhang Ju'an knew that she had been holding on for a long time.

Xiang Jiufeng was sitting on the train, holding a family photo in her arms.In the photo, Xiang Jiufeng's head was resting on Zhang Haichao's shoulder, and they were holding Zhang Ju'an and Xiang Xiu respectively.This was taken on the day they received their marriage certificate.Holding this family portrait, Xiang Jiufeng looked at the small town of Qingtian that was gradually disappearing outside the window, with tears in his eyes.

For the first time, this small town of Qingtian in the south, where all her joys and sorrows were filled, was so far away from her. ##### The train is very long, full of stories, passing the rails, and heading for the distance.
