Stubborn illness

"Hello, hello, hello..." The other party put down the phone, and a high-pitched woman's voice came from the receiver, speaking in Hokkien language. She couldn't understand me, and I couldn't understand her, so she put the phone on Put it down, and yelled like asking someone to put out a fire, and then a middle-aged man's voice: "Hey, who are you looking for? Who are you looking for?" Very awkward Mandarin, I tried to shout into the phone receiver: " For um! For um!"

"Oh, XXXXXXX." This time, he thought I could speak Teochew, and after a while, I only heard the word oh. When I miss him, I count the change in my pocket, and when I have enough, I type it. In such a situation, there is really nothing I can do.

After a few days, call again, this time, it is his teaching brother who answered the phone: "Oh, you are his classmate? He has gone to Huizhou, I will give you my uncle's Call machine number, you remember one time."

Hehe, there are bound to be obstacles in our communication. When I first called his uncle, I couldn't explain it for a long time. I was very worried that the other party would regard it as a harassing call and directly put it on the blacklist and ignore it.Thank goodness he didn't, he relayed to L and he always relays to L and I get a call back every time.

"When will you go home for the New Year?" I asked.

"Maybe I won't go back, I will spend the Spring Festival in Tamsui this year."

"Really? That's good! It's a late holiday here, and I won't go home for the New Year, or... I'll go to your place?"

"This...then you come here."

It was the Spring Festival in 2000, the year was 29, it was a bit of a coincidence, the proprietress informed that a car of diesel was going to be sent to Xiegang in the afternoon, and I wanted to go with the car, and I told her that after I unloaded the oil, I received the money and handed it over to the driver. I went directly to Danshui from there, and she agreed. The driver and I unloaded the diesel car that day and it was completely dark. The driver put me on a bustling street with a bus stop sign, turned the car around and left.

Under the stop sign, I carefully looked at the passing vehicles, except that there was no word in the direction of Danshui. After waiting for a long time, I looked at the schedule on it.

I went to the supermarket next to the stop sign and asked about it. The friendly girl in the supermarket smiled and said, "You caught up with me half an hour earlier, but there are no more taxis there. Go and ask, and you should be able to go there." of."

I thanked, came out, and walked towards a red taxi with white stripes on the side of the road, grabbed the plastic bag containing a simple change of clothes in my hand, faced the car door, and lowered my head: "Master, do you want to go to Danshui?"

"Go, how many people?" The master sat up straight.

"Just me, how much?"

"Check the watch, as much as you want."

"No, I don't want to play the watch, you charge a real price."

"145." The driver thought for a while.

"138."

"No, the gas price has gone up now."

"Where is it? I sell diesel for others, and I know more about the gasoline market."

"Young man, what time is it? Driving at night, it's still relatively remote."

"Forget it." I turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Ah, ah, 140, open a ticket."

"Just 138. Don't pull it down."

"You're so stubborn. You don't look like an ordinary worker. Tell me about the two dollars." The middle-aged driver smiled flatteringly.

"You don't know, those two dollars have a special meaning to me." I played tricks.

"What's the special meaning?" The driver was puzzled.

"Haha, I won't tell you." I laughed out loud.If I say it, I don’t know if I will laugh his big teeth off, but what I think in my heart is, 138, let’s live forever!

The wheels ran over the bustling city and slid into a dark country concrete road without street lights. The shadows of trees on both sides were thick, like thick ink, and the car lights flashed, disturbing the silence. Yes, the driver asked: "Aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold, the air is too fresh, don't waste it." After speaking, the driver cast another puzzled look.I was really in a good mood, everything was good, we chatted all the way, like two people who have known each other for a long time, and the middle-aged driver is also considered loyal.

The road is fairly smooth, but the lights are dark, and it is already past nine o'clock. I still have some scruples and worries in my heart. What should I do in case L falls asleep, or the Call machine is not on his body, this year's closing night: I'm not familiar with it at all, don't let me go halfway."

"Oh, don't worry about this, I will send you there, and I will definitely send you there."

"First find a shop with a public phone, I want to call him to come out and pick me up."

"no problem."

"Can you accompany me until my classmate arrives before leaving?"

"I'll wait until you call him, and make sure he will come out to pick you up before leaving, okay?"

"Well, okay?"

The car arrived at Tamsui, near the place L had told me before, we stopped at a small taxi shop with a public phone.The driver left, and L came, riding a semi-new and old mountain bike. I sat on it, wrapped my hands around his waist, and put my face on his back, croaking, endless words, the meeting The joy, soaked together with the long-lost taste overflowing from him.

The bicycle went crookedly through several narrow alleys: "Here, go, it's on top." He took me up and opened the door to enter. The house is a bit dilapidated. There is a living room, two side rooms, an aisle, and the kitchen and bathroom at the end of the aisle . "Haven't you eaten yet? Eat first." He lifted the cover of the dining table in the living room.

"Where's your uncle?" Looking around, the surrounding decorations were messy, and I suddenly became a little cautious.

"He's gone out and won't be back until later, you eat first, I'll boil water and take a shower." He set the tableware for me, turned around and left, and came back, looking a little embarrassed: "There's nothing to do here. "

"It's so late, where can I go to play, I can only sleep, go to sleep, haha."

"Eh, don't, don't, don't." That night, desire raped reason, and I raped him!The evidence is the sinful sticky puddle on his belly. I don’t know if his uncle who is separated by the wall has heard the movement. Watching him get up and wash everything, in the dim light, he casts a helpless and depressed mood. I huddled under the quilt, hid in the corner, strongly blamed myself, and fell asleep ashamed.

Woke up by him the next day: "I called from home, I want to go back, a sudden decision, look..."

"Okay, you go home, I'll go to Guangzhou, to my brother and the others." Disappointment, like a stone falling from a cliff, leaps, lands, and shatters, what else can it do? "What are your plans to go home? Are you still coming out here?"

"Maybe I won't come. Find a job at home and get married. My family is urging that it's almost time to get married. I'm older than you all."

"Oh." I picked up the only change of clothes I brought, and he rode the bicycle last night, crossing the streets and alleys, and sent me to the station. In the station, the tweeter repeatedly repeated that this is today's book. The last train to Guangzhou station, please buy tickets as soon as possible to get on the train, I wish you a pleasant journey and a happy Spring Festival!

After waiting for more than two years, we only got together for one night, and we were about to say goodbye. I put my palm on the back of his hand holding the handlebar of the bicycle, and he pulled his hand away. I helped him tidy up the piled up collars on his neck. He didn't have many words of farewell.

I turned around and took a step, waved to him gently, and with an unspeakable sadness, I stepped on the bus bound for Guangzhou.Watching him turn the car around and gradually go away, watching the daytime scenery darker than the nighttime scenery, watching the New Year's atmosphere is more depressed than the usual atmosphere, I fell into a stupid state again.

I chose a seat by the window, leaning against the car window, thinking: It is a sin to make a girl into a child, and it should be a sin to make a boy delay getting married and having a child.Well, you hurry home and find someone to marry, I will die of this heart!
