Ji Huai's flight is at 7:30 in the evening, and he will arrive at the airport around 5:30.
Originally he wouldn't let Wen Yun send him there, and she would have to come back by herself later, but she was extremely insistent and must go to the airport with him. This time, it ends even worse.
When he turned around to go to the security check, her eyes were sore and filled with tears, as if they were about to fall down in the next second.
The feeling was suddenly very strong. People who were extremely close to each other day and night were about to be separated. It was like a sudden and bloody separation.
Her heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on her, making her suffocated.
When Ji Huai turned around and saw this scene, he couldn't leave at all, and finally fell back, lowered his head and hugged her for a while. She is not good at expressing her grievances and sorrows, and her forbearing look is even more heart-wrenching, making her want to take pity on her.
"I'm not going to leave now. I'll stay with you for a few more days." Seeing that the boarding time was coming, Ji Huai made a decision, and he couldn't bear to leave.
"Let's go." Wen Yun let go of him and pushed him back, her voice choked with sobs as she urged him to get in quickly.
The two of them separated in a really awkward manner. He lowered his head and walked back in three steps. She got on the airport subway in despair. These past few days had been like a dream.
After the plane took off, Ji Huai could no longer chat with her. She returned to school and hid in a grove with few people and cried secretly for a while.
It wasn't that she wanted to cry, tears would flow down uncontrollably, her heart felt very uncomfortable, she felt very depressed, and she didn't want to do anything. Afraid of being seen in such a miserable state by others, I could only hide.
When Shi Jing saw this situation, she thought the two had broken up, and looked at each other: Didn't they spend a good night together last night
Li Ru shrugged, how did she know
She was a little gloating and felt that this was punishment for Wen Yun. Isn't it normal for a man you just met to get a room and be played with
"...Are you okay?" Shi Jing asked with concern.
Wen Yun thought that she had calmed down a lot and should not have been noticed. She gave a forced smile and said, "It's okay. What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
"Well..." Seeing that she was like this, Shi Jing was embarrassed to ask again, "No..."
Li Ru took over Shi Jing's unfinished words and said quickly: "We saw you with a handsome guy two days ago, and Shi Jing wants you to introduce a boyfriend to her."
Wen Yun was confused and looked at Shi Jing, "I don't know any other boys. Don't you have a boyfriend?"
Last time the other party gave me lipstick and a water bottle as gifts.
Shi Jing: "It's divided."
"Long-distance love is so difficult. What kind of relationship can we have when we are so far apart? Of course it's not as good as being together every day." Li Ru lowered her head to play with her mobile phone, pretending to reply casually, and meant something.
"If we break up, we can find each other again. No one can live without anyone." Shi Jing relieved her embarrassment and walked back to her seat.
She and her ex-boyfriend have been dating for five years, and they still have to break up? It's not surprising that Wen Yun broke up with her boyfriend from her hometown. If it's inappropriate, it doesn't mean it's inappropriate.
Wen Yun frowned, her words were always a bit strange.
"You don't know other people's boys? Then how do you know this boy?" After speaking, Li Ru suddenly raised her voice and said half-jokingly, "Shi Jing has been waiting for you for two days. She said that when you come back, she will pester her. If you ask your boyfriend which one it is from, she will have to go and grab one."
Shi Jing laughed awkwardly and could only explain, "The main reason is to relieve the sadness of a newly broken love and enjoy the sweetness of being in love together every day."
Wen Yun: "We were classmates in junior high school. We met by chance when we were about to take the college entrance examination and we reconnected. My boyfriend no longer continues to study, and I haven't met any of his classmates."
Shi Jing, who was desperately trying to change the subject, was suddenly startled and reminded tactfully, "I'm talking about the one who goes to class with you. Have you and your boyfriend from your hometown broken up yet?"
We all went out to spend the night together last night. Could it be that we are Lan Yan's confidants? It's not like that. This relationship is beyond the normal relationship between men and women at first glance. Is it possible that we really have two things to do
"You have confused us all. Your boyfriend is in your hometown, so what does the person who accompanies you to class have to do with you?" Li Ru turned around and asked directly.
Is this eating from the bowl and looking at the food from the pot
If she still had some moral bottom line after breaking up, she would still look up to Wen Yun.
Wen Yun was also confused and could only express herself as clearly as possible, "My boyfriend came from my hometown to stay with me for a few days. He was the one who accompanied me to class. He went back today."
Li Ru: "???"
"?!!!" Shi Jing suspected that she had misunderstood, and stood up again and walked to her side with a look of disbelief on her face, "The one who takes basketball classes with you and is waiting for you downstairs is wearing a spliced cotton coat and TY Co-branded trendy shoes, the one who is very tall and handsome, and who is very considerate to you, is this your boyfriend?"
At first glance, he looks like a college student. He is handsome and gentle, looking like a bohemian trendy man, but he doesn't look like a scumbag.
Li Ru seemed to be confused and blurted out, "Isn't your boyfriend raising ducks at home?"
This is completely irrelevant. In their impression, the image of the other person's boyfriend should be wearing a straw hat, with legs covered in mud, slovenly and dark... He has not read any books. He should be reckless, unreasonable, without content, and of low quality. , incompatible with them...
"Yeah." Wen Yun nodded, "So he has to rush home to work."
She replied and heard Feng Shuli knocking on the door outside. She got up and opened the door for her.
"Your courier!!!" Feng Shuli held several couriers and a large courier in her arms.
"Thank you." Wen Yun quickly took it and asked, "Next time, don't help me pick up such a big package. It's too heavy."
Ji Huai just told her to pick up the express delivery. She was so sad that she forgot about it.
"It's not heavy, it's just a bit big. Is this a doll of yours? It felt soft when I touched it." Feng Shuli didn't care and walked back with her express delivery.
"Let me take a look." Wen Yun cut it open, and the half-human tall doll inside was a cute husky with a particularly healing smile. The emotions she had just suppressed were a little overflowing.
Miss him so much.
"Buzz buzz."
The phone received the message, she opened it and saw it was a message from Ji Huai: safe landing.
Wen Yun put the doll on the bed, turned around and looked for headphones in her schoolbag, and prepared to have a video call with him.
Li Ru looked at the doll, and the disdain in his eyes turned into disbelief. Even his words contained a hint of unknown emotion, "What is he busy with when he comes home? Is he just raising ducks?"
Originally, she looked down upon Wen Yun, her boyfriend who raised ducks. She felt that he was so poor that he could only be like this, and maybe he was still short and fat. Until that day when she saw the boy who accompanied her to class, she was envy.
I felt that while the other party was enjoying the attention of her boyfriend from her hometown who was "not on the stage", she was able to be with such a handsome boy, so she took all the advantages.
Now it turns out that he is alone. The only point of attack is that the other person is just a duck farmer.
"Oh, raising ducks..." Shi Jing planned to say a few words of praise, but having lived in the city since childhood, she really didn't understand, so she stumbled and said, "Raising ducks... Is raising ducks... very hard?"
"Well." Wen Yun plugged in her headphones and climbed up a little absent-mindedly, "The ducks have laid eggs. He has to go back to pick up duck eggs."
"What are you doing with raw eggs? Are you going to fry them and eat them? Are they going to be sold?" Feng Shuli stuck her head out and put a spicy stick in her mouth.
Wen Yun made a video call to Ji Huai, and before lying down, she replied: "Do you want to sell it? But he seems to have said that he would make salted duck eggs."
"Oh." Feng Shuli only heard the second half and had no idea what was going on. She continued to eat spicy strips and said, "Salted duck eggs are also delicious."
Shi Jing was stunned for a moment: "???!!!"
Picking up duck eggs
Making salted duck eggs
Such a handsome boy raises ducks, collects duck eggs, and makes salted duck eggs
The picture was so beautiful, she imagined it for a moment, but found that she couldn't imagine it. In her mind, she could only see him wearing fashionable brands, clear and timeless, and smiling like a spring breeze.
Later, they discovered that Wen Yun, the boyfriend who raised ducks, was only twenty years old. He just didn't study and was not a country boy.
The next night, he even had a video chat with Wen Yun and taught her how to make PPT.
"They said they still have to make corrections and continue to hand it in in the next class, otherwise our group's score will be low." Wen Yun looked at the PPT on the computer with a sad look on her face.
She was in charge of the PPT, but everyone just raised questions and didn't work on it together at all. She was the one with the heaviest workload.
"Don't worry, just send me the questions they mentioned and we'll look at them together." Ji Huai also reassured her, "Let's learn. I want you to get more hands-on, just as practice."
Wen Yun turned her camera to the computer and kept discussing with him for more than two hours. She didn't feel impatient at all and was teaching her over and over again.
No one spoke in the dormitory, and Wen Yun's voice could be heard faintly. Her voice was soft and waxy, but she was a little annoyed because she was confused and she held her chin up and argued with him:
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!"
"I'm so annoyed. Don't talk about me."
"I changed it, but it didn't move. It's over, it's gone, it's all because of you!!"
…
Maybe she didn't know that her tone seemed impatient, and sounded a little coquettish to outsiders. This was rare for Wen Yun, and they all saw another side.
I continued to deal with it until the lights were turned off in the dormitory, and then it was corrected.
Wen Yun got up and went to get the desk lamp from the bed. She didn't pay attention when she got up. Her phone fell to the ground and her earphones were pulled out. In the quiet dormitory, she heard the clear and soft voice of "The Duck Raising Boy" for the first time, and the tail end was a bit lingering. , with a trace of laziness, "Daughter-in-law, I can't hold it anymore. I have to get up early tomorrow to catch fish. If you have any questions, please send it to me. If you are unhappy, tell me..."
Before she could finish listening to the rest of the words, Wen Yun had already picked it up and plugged in her earphones. She didn't dare to speak yet, probably out of embarrassment.
No one spoke in the dormitory, they just pretended not to hear, but they all knew in their hearts: the boy who raises ducks is still the boy who catches fish, he is handsome, he talks softly and he fucking loves Wen Yun! ! !
Ji Huai, who was wearing trendy brands a few days ago, was wearing Wang Xiufen's street stall goods again. He looked at the stand-collar "dad outfit" in the mirror and felt uncomfortable, "Can I just buy short-sleeved clothes next time? No collar. This kind of clothes looks like someone in their forties or fifties."
"There are still so many clothes to wear for work. One kind costs 25 yuan a piece, and this kind costs 32 yuan." Wang Xiufen ate peanuts and kicked the pair of dad shoes next to her.
Ji Huai looked at the pair of shoes, "Where did you buy these? They are so ugly!"
She snorted angrily and ordered him, "What's so ugly?! They sold out at a loss. They cost eight yuan a pair. How good are they? I bought three pairs. Hurry up and get dressed and start working. How many days of work have you been delayed?" All the ducks have laid eggs, why don’t you hurry up and get started?”
He accepted his fate, put on his shoes and straw hat, and hurried to the backyard.
"Woof woof woof."
"quack."
"Quack, quack, quack."
…
Listen, what a friendly voice, and there are still a few duck eggs scattered on the ground from time to time. In his opinion, they are all fruits of harvest.
Ji Huai put on his mask and gloves, took a shovel, and started cleaning, disinfecting, and cleaning.
Not to be outdone, Wang Xiufen wants to get back to her old job. Her waist was injured and she couldn't bend down to work for a long time, but she didn't give up. When she was carrying the bucket to pick up duck eggs, she straightened her waist and squatted down, and got up slowly.
Every now and then, Ji Huai would be asked to take her to the old Miao doctor for treatment. The more frequently she was treated, the more energetic she became at work, and it was not enough not to let her do it.
Wang Xiufen's "main business" has also changed from farming and growing vegetables to making salted duck eggs and collecting duck eggs.
Ji Huai was afraid that she would work too hard, so he would occasionally ask a worker to help, because besides being busy at home, he would be too busy delivering salted duck eggs to small stalls or restaurants.
In the morning, if he didn't catch any fish, he would have to send Wang Xiufen to set up a stall in the town. She would carry the fruits and melons she grew, along with salted duck eggs, and she would sit there all morning.
Salted duck eggs are sold wholesale for one dollar and a half, but she sells them for probably one dollar and a half, and fresh duck eggs are also sold for two or three cents more. If business is good, more than 100 to 200 salted duck eggs and dozens of fresh duck eggs can be sold in a morning. Earning dozens or dozens more yuan a day is particularly satisfying to her.
Sometimes Ji Huai would be late to pick her up after delivering goods, and she would be reluctant to leave him when he went back. He would continue gossiping passionately with other uncles and aunties nearby, speaking faster, talking with noses and eyes, and dancing with joy.
She has been living in this street for decades, and they are all her "old neighbors". When they get together, nothing happening within a radius of ten or eight kilometers can escape her ears.
While in the car.
She told Ji Huai the gossip again. If he was willing to listen, she could tell it for a whole day, connect it with the previous events, and restore the story with full emotion.
"By the way, today I met Sister Zhang who runs a stall on Changfa Street. She also said she wants our duck eggs. You can send a hundred of them over tomorrow." Wang Xiufen told Ji Huai that she would not let her go if she returned to the world. Any opportunity to promote their salted duck eggs.
It is quite famous in the local area. If it is not sold out in the morning, nearby small stalls will buy it from her to sell in the afternoon or keep it for herself.
"One hundred? We don't have that many at home. Don't we have to give two hundred to my cousin?" A cousin of theirs was buying vegetables at the urban market and learned that their family had started making salted duck eggs again. , came to order again.
"Cousin, wait a minute. The gas fee for a round trip will cost dozens of yuan. Aren't you going to pick up Xiaoyun in a few days? You can send her there then." Wang Xiufen was calculating.
It's only a few dozen yuan, so save it if you can, it's enough for a meal of meat.
"Okay." Ji Huai nodded, "I'll call her later and tell her how many days to wait for the next batch."
"Where will Xiaoyun stay when she comes back?" Wang Xiufen asked him.
"I don't know." He replied.
Wang Xiufen suggested: "We can't live in Xu's house. If she can't live in it, why don't we let her come to our house? There is still a room upstairs. Let's prepare one for her to live in."
"have been seen… "
She interrupted and said: "Each family has its own courtyard. Our house is far away from theirs and no one comes to visit. Who can see it? I won't go out and talk nonsense. Isn't this ruining the reputation of other girls? You are not married yet. I have a stricter mouth than anyone else. They think it’s the girls who are at a disadvantage. It doesn’t matter the boys. They can’t suffer the disadvantage, but others will also think that you are irresponsible. How could I go out and talk nonsense about this kind of thing? "
Ji Huai felt that what she said made sense and thought for a moment, "Xiaoyun needs to find a job. She can't stay idle during the holidays, so she has to find a job as a tutor. In order to lay the foundation for the future, she has to go to the city to find a job."
"You deliver it, you have to deliver it every day anyway." Wang Xiufen made a move to go around, "Don't drive to the village entrance, you walk from the backyard, go around Zhangjia Village, and you will reach the urban area. Who can see that? It’s not safe for a girl to live alone in the city.”
Ji Huai slowly gave her a thumbs up, "High."
In late January, major universities began to have holidays, and Wen Yun also received holiday notices from her classes.
Li Ru couldn't ask anyone else to go back, so she went back to the dormitory and asked her, "Do you want to go back together? Let's take the 10 o'clock flight on the 21st and stay there for one night before going back."
They flew to the provincial capital and returned the next morning. They had to stay in a hotel for a day. If they were two people, they could share the cost equally. Air tickets have recently increased, and this flight is more than 200 yuan cheaper than the other flights. It is the cheapest flight, and the cheapest hotel only costs over 100 yuan a night.
In total, I can save close to two hundred.
Wen Yun was looking for her student ID card and declined, "No, I have to buy a train ticket tomorrow. The train ticket is only half price, and I can take it back directly."
Half-price train tickets had to be bought on site, and she had to queue.
"Who takes the train these days? Can't you just pay a little more? It's not a lot of money." Li Ru was irritated, with a sense of superiority that could not be hidden in his words.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't date someone, she really wouldn't want to date her, because she felt that the two of them were not of the same level.
Wen Yun's hand holding the student ID card paused, and there was no embarrassment on her face. She looked indifferent and said, "I think it's a lot of money. Anyway, I can go back a day or two later."
She just wanted to save money, there was nothing shameful about it, she didn't fight or rob her, she felt it was acceptable, and there was no grievance.
Moreover, she and Li Ru didn't get along. If she felt uncomfortable staying together, she might as well take the train alone. When she came here, she also took the train alone.
"I'm done with it." Li Ru turned around with a speechless expression and muttered something unknown, and Wen Yun didn't pay attention.
While Wen Yun was away, she talked about this matter with Shi Jing, "Don't her parents give her money? The plane ticket is less than 500 yuan, and there are still families who can't give 500 yuan to go home?"
"How much money can you save? I just can't complain."
"I have never taken a train. Everyone takes a plane, okay?"
…
After listening to her complaint, Shi Jing answered: "The high-speed rail hasn't been opened in our area yet, so I take the train, but it doesn't cost much, so I'm too lazy to queue up to buy a ticket, and I can't save much money with discounts."
"Yeah, if I can save a few hundred by queuing, I'll go there. I'll do it for anything over fifty yuan. Last time Wen Yun and I went part-time together, and it only cost seventy yuan a day." Feng Shuli expressed her opinion.
We are all students. Apart from asking our parents for money, we are all poor and have only so much living expenses.
"That's different. I have to take a plane anyway, and I can't bear to take a train. It's so far away, but it doesn't cost a few hundred yuan. Is she that poor? Our city is not poor either. Which village is she from?" Li Ru looked incomprehensible and even felt that Wen Yun had lowered the impression of their urban area and made everyone think that their urban area was very poor.
Shi Jing and Feng Shuli listened to her complaining about Wen Yun behind her back for several days. Wen Yun went out early and came back late to help organize and pack books in the library and prepare for the winter vacation.
On the 20th, everyone in the dormitory was packing their luggage one after another. After finishing the exam on the morning of the 21st, I packed up completely and prepared to go back.
Wen Yun moved the fastest. She had few things. She packed a few clothes and a few books. She put on her computer and was about to go out. "I'm leaving now. See you next semester."
"You're leaving so early, what time is your train? Wait for me." Shi Jing stopped her.
"I want to go to the airport." Wen Yun replied to her.
Li Ru was loading her clothes. When she heard what she said, she turned around and looked at her with a bad expression. She asked, "Didn't you buy a train ticket? When I made an appointment with you, you said you wanted to buy a train ticket."
Wen Yun was a little embarrassed, "My boyfriend bought me a plane ticket. It's three o'clock in the afternoon. He can just pick me up when I get to the provincial capital, so I can't come with you."
Feng Shuli turned around and said, "When you buy the ticket, you can tell him to buy it for the night, so that you and Li Ru can go back together and be company."
"He bought it himself. I don't even know. He was probably afraid that I wouldn't agree, so he placed the order directly and the ticket couldn't be refunded." When Wen Yun thought about spending a thousand and two dollars, her heart couldn't bear it, and she frowned tightly.
The train ticket only costs just over two hundred!
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang. Ji Huai called, urging, "Go out quickly. Students are on vacation recently, so there may be a lot of people. The queue leader will not be able to catch up during the security check."
"I'm just about to go out, what should I do if I can't catch up?" Wen Yun also became anxious.
"Go out now, go to the supermarket to buy bottles of milk, buy some biscuits and bread, and then go to the east gate of your school. I saw someone in the fellow villagers carpooling to the airport. Will you be there in fifteen minutes?" Ji Huai looked at her QQ Group message.
Wen Yun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes... but I can also take the subway, right?"
"You still have to take a few bus stops to go directly to the airport." Ji Huai drawled his voice, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and go out, don't delay."
"Yeah." Wen Yun didn't dare to delay, hurriedly waved goodbye to them, pushed her luggage and went out, "I'm leaving first."
"Bye-Bye."
"See you next semester."
…
Shi Jing and others watched with different expressions as they watched her being forced to accept her boyfriend's arrangement, and the other party even drove to the provincial capital to pick her up.
"I don't know why, but I have a special feeling for the man who raises ducks now. Why can ducks be so handsome and caring?" Shi Jing looked up at the sky, "Suddenly I really want a man who raises ducks. If I don't raise ducks, Ducks are fine too, you can raise geese, dogs, chickens, fish...what else can you raise?"
"Raising toads?" Feng Shuli added, "Toads."
Shi Jing walked over, stared at her, and shrugged, "I don't deserve it? I'm so coquettish, don't I deserve a man who raises chickens, collects eggs, and then... then makes preserved eggs?"
"That's not the point." Feng Shuli chuckled twice.
"Oh." Shi Jing was discouraged and added emphatically, "He is a handsome man who loves me very much. I really want to bear this heavy love for Wen Yun and suffer for her."
Li Ru looked at the two of them, did not answer, and walked aside with a dark face.
Her cell phone on the table rang, and the fellow group showed new messages.
Wen Yun (English major in 2015): @Xuzhang, +1
Twenty minutes ago, Xu Zhang asked if there was anyone who wanted to carpool to the airport. There was an empty seat left, and Wen Yuunai took him in. It seemed like it was her boyfriend's idea.
She had such a good life. She took a taxi directly to the airport, took the flight with the best time, and had her boyfriend pick her up after she got off the plane. This made her even more unbalanced.
Her sarcasm in front of others a few days ago seemed to have turned into a joke, and she was completely embarrassed.
