Ge Hua has been going out for half a day every Saturday.Originally, her mother, Wu Fang, scolded her when she saw it, "I go to the field every day, and the housework piles up and I don't know how to help." Ge Hua always shut up and kept silent. After adjusting the order of housework, Wu Fang on Saturday morning Seeing that the house is clean everywhere, the clothes have been dried, and even lunch is prepared in advance, he didn't say anything.In addition, the reason why Ge Hua went out was "the physics teacher opened a free cram school, and I can go to study for half a day", maybe deep down in her heart she still has a little bit of accommodating for children's studies, so Wu Fang just turned a blind eye.

I negotiated the cost of the bride price with the distant relative named Tan in the neighboring village. The other party meant that Yanzi could live in his house first after the Chinese New Year.According to the local practice, Yanzi will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, which is nothing new in this place where early marriages are common.Many girls get married symbolically at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and go through formal marriage procedures after reaching the legal age.

Last night, Wu Fang deliberately slept with her eldest daughter under the quilt. To put it bluntly, the snot and tears touched the child's heart, and Ge Yanzi reluctantly agreed.But she said that there is a shortage of people in the relative's store at the end of the year, and there is no year-end bonus if you resign early, and she still hopes to make this year's work a success.Wu Fang immediately agreed.

It was still dark at seven o'clock in the morning in Gecun in early December. Yanzi had to return to the part-time shop before ten o'clock, and Ge Hua started to do her housework ahead of time at five o'clock in the morning.Occasionally, the sound of vehicle motors can be heard in the village, as well as the sound of Ge Hua washing clothes.

Bai Shuang in the room was still talking in his sleep in a daze, and Song Han also quietly got up to freshen up.After having early breakfast with the two sisters, Ge Hua, Song Han said, "I'm leaving first." She took a taxi to the city and took out 5000 yuan from the small treasury to pack it up.I looked at my watch and it was still 10 minutes away, so I bought a cup of coffee at the agreed KFC and waited.

She is the mastermind behind this escape.Blood rushed from the soles of the feet to the head, Song Han felt hot all over.She is not sure about letting a girl who is only 16 years old go out to H City alone to find life.When she was thinking about it last night, she thought of old uncle Li.

Old Uncle Li liked his mother for many years, and the two of them even reported that they were remarrying.Song Han felt that it was her mother's private matter to get married again, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't ask her mother.But my mother has been single since she divorced at the age of 37.After waiting for several years, Song Han couldn't help asking her, "What do you think of Uncle Li?"

Mother laughed, "Marriage is no longer a necessity for people my age, let alone I have you."

Uncle Li runs several chain restaurants in H City. After receiving Song Han's call, he was pleasantly surprised. When Song Han asked if he could provide a job for her students who had no choice but to drop out of school, Old Li readily agreed.When Song Han was hesitating, he still lost the opportunity to say, "Don't worry, I won't let your mother know. But, this child is not yet an adult, will her family send her to City H?"

Song Han didn't dare to say that this was an escaped marriage involving minors.Not to mention that after Ge Yanzi disappeared, the Ge family and his wife would have a falling out.She had no choice but to perfunctory Uncle Li, "Her parents are farmers, and the autumn harvest may be very busy at home." In December, there is no autumn harvest in the countryside at all. Uncle Li hesitated, and said, "Then I will send someone to pick her up." , food and lodging will be arranged here.”

When Song Han was staring at the brown coffee in a daze, two timid girls stood side by side in front of her.Song Han raised his head, his chest heaved, and decided to act like an adult: "Are you ready?"

Ge Yanzi nodded, Ge Hua's breath had pierced her eardrum.

"Sit down first." Song Han said, and then bought them a glass of milk, "I mean, have you figured it out? Go to H City to work, earn money to support yourself, and decide your own life in the future?"

Thinking of what the couple in the neighboring village said, "My eldest son is 27 years old, so he can do it as soon as possible." Ge Yan felt the fear of pressing her head on the cutting board and licking her neck with the edge of the knife. "Think clearly." Even though there are still countless inexplicable fears in her heart, and the future is like a fog that wraps her way forward, she chooses to believe in this teacher.Teacher Lu said the same as his sister said, and he had an indescribable sense of calmness all over his body.Her temperament is also envied by Ge Yanzi. Is this the unique aura of E college students?

Songhan took out an envelope and told Yanzi, "Here is 5000 yuan, you should keep it for urgent use. I don't know your bank card, so I can't get you the cash first." Yanzi said "no", Songhan patted Her hand, "Trust me, you will need it."

She didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only tell Yanzi, "The bus goes directly to Station H, don't look scared on the way, I also brought you a book, you can read it when you are nervous. Uncle Li’s phone number and my number are written in the book.” Song Han handed Yanzi a copy of Waris Dirie’s "Desert Flower", which was given to her by a classmate a few years ago, and Song Han liked it very much. Also take it with you.

"Find out where the flight attendants or police are when you get on the train, and call them for help if anything goes wrong. Strangers, no matter men, women, young or old, whoever strikes up a conversation with you, don't be too verbose. If you ask what you are doing in City H, you should answer your parents. They all work there, so go to City H to see them.” Song Han thought for a while, “Don’t touch anyone who gives you food and drink, if you’re hungry, ask the flight attendant to buy it, first take out [-] yuan for pocket expenses on the way Put the rest of the money in your backpack, don’t take it out all the time. When you get to your residence, save it after familiarizing yourself with the environment...” Song Han realized that he could talk so much.

In the end, she and Ge Hua took Ge Yanzi to the train station by taxi, and the two little sisters held hands tightly along the way.Ge Hua's heart was beating all the time, sometimes he looked at the elder sister, and sometimes he looked at Song Han in the co-pilot.Ge Hua suddenly understood what Teacher Lu once said yesterday, "If the family hits you, run away."

My sister really had to run away.She is going to a completely strange place, holding an unfamiliar phone number, and may not see her parents and family for several years.

Song Han and Ge Hua bought platform tickets to give away to Swallow. Her big innocent and frightened eyes scanned everything in the sleeper car. The first time she took the train alone was not because of travel, but to escape from the 10-yuan, illegal crime. A marriage that helps the family pay the down payment on the house.She even felt sorry for her parents, the family agreement, because if she ran away, it would be ruined.Will they replace Ge Hua?when can she go home What is waiting for me in City H... Fear suddenly overwhelmed, and by the way filled the small carriage, Swallow trembled on his shoulders, and his legs were exhausted.

"I still—" She looked at Song Han, then at Ge Hua, "Forget it—"

"Our family——Parents——" Yanzi was at a loss, "What should I do?" She covered her face and suddenly sobbed.No matter how tall he is, he is only 16 years old.

Song Han was also shaken at this moment?Is this just a farce to satisfy my own impulse?Or just pretend it never happened and take the two kids off the train.If Yanzi and her family knew where she was staying, would they go to City H to look for her?Finally found it on his own head.Is there a crime of "abetting minors to run away from home" in the law?Will it be treated as abduction?Song Han's usual calm and mature expression gradually became unbearable, and the announcements in the station were urging those who were sending off relatives and friends to get off the bus more and more anxiously.

"Sister, it's settled." A childish voice made the two of them look up at the same time, and it was Ge Hua who had been silent all this time.

She squatted down and grabbed the eldest sister's knee, and looked at Yanzi steadfastly, "I trust Teacher Lu." Ge Hua wiped away tears, "Sister, you must contact me when you settle down when you arrive. Don't worry at home, mom and dad. I also know that there is nothing wrong with them after their anger subsides. When you calm down, you can study hard, and we will take the university entrance exam together." Ge Hua looked at Song Han and smiled, and the heroic and decisive eyebrows printed on his pale face were even more scorching.

She stuffed the drinks and biscuits Songhan bought into Ge Yanzi's hands, "Sister, don't be afraid. We are not old, but we don't suffer from our size." Yanzi bit her lip and nodded desperately.Ge Hua's next words gave her even more confidence, "After I take the college entrance examination, I will go to university in H city, and we will always be taken care of."

The flight attendant had already come to ask them to get off the car, Ge Hua and Song Han jumped out of the car and clawed at the door of the car, Yan Zi chased after the door, her legs still had no strength, one step outside was her hometown, but she finally made up her mind and faced the two People say, "I'm not afraid!"

At that moment, Song Han vaguely felt that if she was a few years older or Yanzi was a few years older in the matter of running away and escaping marriage, it might not have ended like this.

When the train moved slowly, Ge Hua started chasing the carriage and waving to her sister. She cried and laughed, "Sister, sister—take care of yourself—don't forget to study."

As the train drove further and further away, Ge Yanzi's figure was no longer seen, and Ge Hua stood on the platform in silence.Song Han's heart that had been beating wildly climbed to the top of the peak again at this time, and she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.

"Teacher, my sister must have a good life, right?" Ge Hua asked.

Song Han said, "Definitely. Uncle Li is a very good person."

The two turned around and walked out of the station in unison, crossed the square and turned right to the street. They didn't speak for a ten-minute walk.Song Han asked, "Aren't you practicing today?"

"Practice." Ge Hua's voice was viscous and trembling.

Song Han sighed, and pulled the girl to the side of the road. Ge Hua suddenly hugged the teacher, and tears fell on Song Han's shoulders. The girl's suppressed crying gradually became uncontrollable, and she cried tremblingly, "Old, teacher—— I'm so scared." She was afraid that her eldest sister would have a bad life, and she was also afraid that her parents would find her and take her home to marry, and she was also afraid that her parents would sell herself and Ziwei one day like this. In fact, she is still afraid of many, many things in the road ahead of her...

Suddenly someone forcefully stretched his waist, Song Han put his arms around Ge Hua, "Don't be afraid."

Ge Hua suddenly understood that she was afraid that the teacher would leave here after teaching for one year.

"Teacher, don't go." Ge Hua cried until his eyes were blurred.Song Han didn't speak, but just wiped away her tears, "The teacher is here."
