Driving to the town to transfer money, on the way, I thought that I would not waste a remittance slip at such a short distance, so I simply drove directly to the city.

It was already afternoon when he arrived in the city. Although it was Sunday, his parents' work units were on rotation, and they generally did not rest on weekends.

When the car drove to the door of his mother's unit, Xiao Mingye took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave it to the doorman, asking him to call someone for help.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Guo Xiuqiong ran out in a hurry, and blamed happily, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back? Xiao Xiao is here too? I'll go and ask for leave later, and we'll go home."

"I'm not going home, Mom, we'll go back later." Zhong Yiqiu hurriedly stopped her.

"Why did you leave as soon as you came, and you have to go home for a night anyway."

Zhong Yiqiu: "I still have class tomorrow, so I have to hurry back."

Guo Xiuqiong sighed, "Hey, why don't you come back earlier, you can still have a meal at home at noon."

Xiao Mingye asked the two of them to get in the car first, 500 yuan is not a small amount, and he was afraid of being seen outside and making people jealous.

Zhong Yiqiu took out the envelope from his coat and handed it over. This was the first time he had given money to his parents face to face, and he was a little excited, "Mom, this is 500 yuan, you take it."

Guo Xiuqiong was startled, and immediately felt that the envelope in her hand was a bit hot, and asked anxiously, "Where did you get so much money?"

"I saved my wages." This is what the two of them discussed a long time ago, and it was true in the first place. If so many things hadn't happened, Zhong Yiqiu would have saved enough.

Guo Xiuqiong was happy, but she didn't want his money either, "You take it back and keep it for yourself, we don't need money."

Zhong Yiqiu knew it would be like this, and said, "Mom, this is my tribute to you, if you don't need it, save it for me."

Guo Xiuqiong took the envelope and kept smoothing the corners and creasing it carefully, "Okay, I'll save it for you, you won't be able to transfer it back for a while, and you won't be able to get a house if you don't have a unit. If you save the money, we will buy you a house. "

Zhong Yiqiu originally wanted to say that I don't need to buy it for me, but she was afraid of arousing her mother's suspicion and asking endlessly, so she said obediently: "Don't be reluctant to spend money, it's cold this year, you and my father will both buy a down jacket."

He doesn't often say these kind words to his parents. Boys always feel that this is too hypocritical, and it makes him feel ashamed to say such words.

Guo Xiuqiong smiled happily and softly, stroked his shoulder, and said caringly: "Don't worry about us, the countryside is colder than the city, you take 100 yuan to go back and buy a thick dress."

"No, I still have money."

"How much salary do you have a month? With so much money saved, how can I have money to spend?"

Zhong Yiqiu smiled shyly, "I usually don't spend money, and I live in the school dormitory. If you want to buy anything, you can just ask Xiao Mingye."

"How can I do that? How can I spend Xiao Xiao's money?" Guo Xiuqiong frowned and said with some reproach.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't know how to explain it, so she secretly glanced at Xiao Mingye.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Mingye turned sideways and said, "Auntie, Qiu'er and I are in good company, we don't make a difference."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

His heart was about to jump out, he opened his mouth wide and winked at Xiao Ming—you're so daring, what nonsense are you talking about!

Outsiders don't sound like there is any special meaning in these words, only the two of them, one furtively expressing their feelings and the other guilty of guilt, would have sweaty palms nervously.

Sure enough, Guo Xiuqiong didn't think too much about it, she only thought that Xiao Mingye had a good relationship with the Qiu'er brothers, but she didn't agree with Zhong Yiqiu taking advantage, and said to Xiao Mingye: "No matter how good you are together, he can't spend your money casually, you It's not easy to make money!"

"Mom, it's not what you think, we just don't know each other...he spends money for me, and I spend money for him..."

Guo Xiuqiong nodded, "That's fine, Xiao Xiao is more stable and reliable than you, and I can rest assured that he can take care of you."

Zhong Yiqiu was happier than he was being praised, and said flauntingly, "He is very powerful. The temple we built on the mountain over there is a project managed by Xiao Mingye. You and my dad will come and play next spring."

"Okay." Guo Xiuqiong agreed, then leaned forward and said to Xiao Mingye, "Xiao Xiao, come back early next time, Qiu'er's father has always wanted to invite you to have a meal at home, thank you very much for taking care of Qiu'er."

Gudong——Zhong Yiqiu swallowed nervously, and stammered, "My father..."

"I told your dad that Xiao Xiao took care of you in the countryside, and your dad always thinks about thanking him."

Xiao Mingye: "You're welcome, this is what I should do, next time I come to see Uncle."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Guo Xiuqiong nagged for a long time before getting out of the car. This kind of mother's nagging made people feel helpless and warm. In the end, they were about to drive away. Guo Xiuqiong hurriedly caught up again, and handed in two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes from the car window. .

The sweet potato wrapped in the old newspaper still hurt her hand, but Zhong Yiqiu was reluctant to let it go, her chest was sore and warm.

Halfway through the journey, it was dark, there were no street lights on the roads in the township, and shadows of towering trees flashed in the dark night around, but Zhong Yiqiu was not at all sad because of the environment, only him and Xiao Mingye were in the car , as if they are the only ones left in this world, no matter how gloomy and gloomy the outside is.

Zhong Yiqiu peeled the sweet potato, ate a mouthful by himself and then fed Xiao Mingye a mouthful. The aroma permeated the small space, like a warm house full of love in the cold and dark night.

Xiao Mingye looked for every opportunity to be a hooligan, licked Zhong Yiqiu's fingers after eating roasted sweet potatoes, and smiled shamelessly when he was scolded.

Zhong Yiqiu knew that he was very happy, if it was seen by outsiders, Xiao Mingye at this time was no different from usual, with a silent black face, but Zhong Yiqiu could feel all the changes in his mood.

Although he still didn't talk much, and he wasn't obviously excited, his tone was full of joy, and his expression and posture were completely relaxed, like a big lion lazily basking in the sun on the grass, satisfied and comfortable.

He enjoys this kind of moment, enjoys every minute and every second when he is alone with Zhong Yiqiu.

"Are you really going to see my dad?" Zhong Yiqiu asked.

"You don't agree?"

Zhong Yiqiu: "No, my dad doesn't like to talk, and he's a bit fierce when we get along."

Xiao Mingye: "..."

After a minute of silence, Zhong Yiqiu suddenly realized that his father was no longer talkative, nor was he less talkative than Xiao Mingye, thinking about the two people meeting each other and staring in silence...

"Hahahahahaha!"

Xiao Mingye seemed to think of the same scene as him, and smiled slightly.

"Qiu'er, shall we buy a house in the city?" Xiao Mingye said.

Zhong Yiqiu was surprised, "Why did you think of buying a house? Is it because of what my mother said just now, don't think too much..."

"I didn't think much about it." Xiao Mingye said seriously, "But what she said reminded me."

"It's useless to buy it in the city?" Zhong Yiqiu felt pain at the thought of spending money as if he had to sell his kidney, "The new house was only built in Xiaoxianshan, and brother Zhou gave us a house in Daxianshan, why bother?" Spend money to buy in the city?"

The appearance of his stingy housekeeper made Xiao Mingye's heart itch. Some indescribable images came to his mind, and his voice became a little hoarse when he spoke, "Your parents live in the city, and they live in the city. After buying a house, I can take care of them, and...there is a house in the city, so it is convenient to live in the city.”

An idea flashed in Zhong Yiqiu's mind, "Do you want to live in the city in the future? Don't want to live in the countryside? But I work here..."

"You work in the village, and we will live in the village. If one day you are unhappy and want to go back to the city, we will go back and live."

Zhong Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Are you afraid that if people find out about our relationship, we won't be able to stay in the village? There is a house in the city as a retreat."

"It's okay, why is your brain suddenly smart?" Xiao Mingye praised, and then said: "There is a reason, but don't be afraid of it. Anytime, anywhere, as long as you have enough ability and ability, no one will dare to provoke you. The main reason is that I don’t want you to stay in the countryside all the time. When you have money, you have to go to the provincial capital to buy a house. When you want to go to the city, we will live in the city for a while. If you want to go to the provincial capital, we will live in the provincial capital... ...There are our escape routes everywhere, so what are we afraid of?"

Xiao Mingye was in a good mood, and he said so many words in one breath. The beautiful picture he painted was like a fantasy, but Zhong Yiqiu knew that Xiao Mingye was a person who kept his word, and he could say that, which showed that he already had a plan in his heart. , will definitely be able to do it in the future.

The housekeeper cared about the reality, and said coldly, "How can you have money?"

Xiao Mingye put a hand on his leg and slowly stroked it, carefully planning, "I will pay back Brother Zhou's money next year, and buy it in the city the year after next."

Zhong Yiqiu seemed to be hiding a magpie that wanted to jump out, he couldn't hold it down no matter what, he held Xiao Mingye's hand, and said provocatively: "Second brother, from then on, you will buy me a magpie every year for my birthday. Is the house okay?"

Xiao Mingye raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, under the light his smile was so handsome, he squeezed Zhong Yiqiu's hand behind his back and promised, "Okay."

It was dark and the road was difficult to walk. It was past eight o'clock when we got home. Zhong Yiqiu wanted to eat instant noodles, so Xiao Mingye parked the car at the entrance of the supply and marketing agency and went down to buy him.

Zhong Yiqiu stopped him, pushed open the door and jumped down, "You drive the car back first, I will go back after I go down to buy, how many packs do you eat?"

"Two packs."

"Is it enough? Isn't this your strength?" Zhong Yiqiu doubted.

Xiao Mingye sneered, "Save your strength for the evening."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Xiao Mingye picked up the coat and threw it to him, "Put on the clothes."

After the cold weather, the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative became deserted, and the people who gathered here to play cards, chat and drink at night all dispersed, but the colored lights at the entrance were not removed, and the colorful Zhong Yiqiu couldn't open his eyes.

Lian Dazui was on duty, she got a radio and was listening to Peking Opera, when she saw Zhong Yiqiu coming in, she first looked out of the car that had just driven away, and said hello: "Where did you go with the second brother? You came back so late?"

Afraid of her endless inquiries, Zhong Yiqiu said perfunctorily, "I went to the city and helped me get four packs of instant noodles."

I don't know if it's because the radio is too loud, but Lian Dazui didn't seem to hear it, and didn't go to get anything, lying on the counter with his butt pouted, excitedly and nervously beckoning Zhong Yiqiu to approach, "Tell you something!"

Zhong Yiqiu was helpless, standing still, Lian's big mouth was immersed in the secret stimulation, and Zhong Yiqiu didn't need to cooperate at all, as if to announce a big secret, the facial features crowded together and opened in an exaggerated way, "I tell you ——Zhang Ximing is back!"

The old man was babbling on the radio, Zhong Yiqiu thought that the voice was too loud and he heard it wrong, so he asked in a daze, "Who?"

"Zhang Ximing!" The shocking effect of the gossip news made Lian Dazui even more excited, "It's Zhang Ximing who ran away with Liu Qinghong, he's back!"

Zhong Yiqiu felt goosebumps popping up on his arms in an instant, like tender buds sprouting out of the ground in spring, with a slight itchiness, he raised his voice and asked again, "Who are you talking about?"

Lian mouthed aloud, forgetting to turn off the radio first, lay most of her body on the counter, stretched her neck and said loudly: "Zhang Ximing! He came back by himself!"

Zhong Yiqiu's whole body was numb, and her ears were buzzing like tinnitus.

The opera on the radio is singing—and who knows that the vows are all lies, you abandon the old and pity the new, leaving me lonely and desolate.

The author has something to say: Second brother, do you want to know the house price in 18 years?

Qiu'er: He doesn't want to.
