Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 182

In the transportation team of the big brother in the countryside, there was a driver who drove a container truck for long distances. His wife died of illness two years ago.The family has a house of more than [-] square meters, and a daughter who is in high school. She is kind and kind, and she is about the same age as Wu Yanli.

Wang Aiqing first went to find out what other people said, and introduced Wu Yanli's situation, but of course part of the facts were concealed.The driver said it could be considered.

Wang Aiqing went to Wu Yanli and introduced her to the driver.Wu Yanli considers that the driver has nothing to worry about, and she won't be like some divorced men who eat what's in the bowl and still think about what's in the pot. As long as the other party can play the role of father well, she agrees to talk with her.

After the meeting, Wu Yanli was basically satisfied, and the driver had nothing to say.When a person reaches middle age, the things to consider are realistic, and both parties have choices.After getting in touch with each other several times, the two decided to live together as a partner first, and then formally get married after a few years of running-in.

Two years later, in the autumn of [-], Liu Xufei went to elementary school.After sending her daughter to school, Wu Yanli sat in the car and didn't start the car for a long time.

In the past two years of living with the driver, Liu Xufei and her "dad" have not become intimate, and Wen Tian does not recognize this "dad", and has never heard him call "dad—dad".To herself, it was just a man.

It's not that she and the driver have no feelings at all, it's just that the child's problem hinders the further development of the relationship.She hopes that her daughter will grow up quickly and become sensible, so that she can relax.Of course, she also hopes that her daughter can study hard and be worthy of her father in the future.

Soon after the start of the second semester of the third year of high school, Meng Xiangxiang went to other places for a few days to attend an academic seminar.The task of taking the children to and from school fell on Liu Xiaonan, and it was inevitable that he would meet Gu Yu, even though there were many vehicles and parents.

On this day, Liu Xiaonan had just sent the two children into the school gate, when he turned around and saw Gu Yu and a big boy walking towards him.Living in the same city, they haven't seen each other for ten years. The moment they met, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

Ten years is enough to turn a young man into a middle-aged man.She has visibly gained weight!His hairline has visibly increased!

Gu Yu enthusiastically introduced Liu Xiaonan to his son: "Shu Jun, this is your Uncle Liu, Qiyu Qimeng's father. When you were young, your mother took you to play in Uncle Liu's cherry orchard, and Uncle Liu even hugged you."

Fang Shujun bowed to Liu Xiaonan: "Hello, Uncle Liu!"

"You are also good!" Liu Xiaonan looked at the noble middle school student in front of him, and felt that he should beat the mother and son, and said, "Shu Jun, there are still three months until the college entrance examination, Uncle Liu will give you a word. Don't fall in love with someone like some people, and use your energy on the first big exam in your life. When you can take on the responsibility of a man, you can talk about love."

Fang Shujun asked, "Uncle Liu, in your opinion, what is a man's responsibility?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "When you talk about it at an older level, you are responsible for the country, the nation, and society; when you talk about it at a young age, you are responsible for your parents, your feelings, your family, and your children."

"I remember, goodbye, Uncle Liu." Fang Shujun waved his hand and ran into the school quickly.

The two walked to the side of the school gate to talk.Gu Yu said to Liu Xiaonan: "You still don't have the right to teach my son a lesson."

"I did it for his own good." Liu Xiaonan said emphatically, "Don't be like some people who know puppy love at the age of thirteen or fourteen."

Gu Yu looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "That was really an age full of fantasy and carefree, but it's a pity it's gone forever."

"How are you doing recently?"

"It's okay. You've seen it too. You've gained weight, you've grown old and ugly, and your ambitions have faded away. All your thoughts are devoted to your son."

"Why be so pessimistic? When the children grow up, of course we have to grow old. If we don't grow old, we will become old goblins."

"I want to be an old goblin, at least to be free, to love and hate as much as I want. By the way, your daughter."

"Stop!" Liu Xiaonan hurriedly cut off Gu Yu's words: "Stop it before it's too late. I told you earlier, don't even think about it."

Gu Yu said with a smile: "Liu Xiaonan, you are so boring, you can hold grudges. Why do you bother to transfer the resentment towards the previous generation to the next generation? Your father passed away, and my old man can go to the funeral, which is enough to show your apology to your father. .”

"This has nothing to do with your old man. Is there anyone who knows you better than me? I don't feel relieved to entrust my daughter to your hands and be abused by you. "

"Looking at the friendship between you and me, I will love your daughter even more and treat her as my own daughter."

"Forget it. If you and I only want to talk about such subjects, it's better not to talk about them. Goodbye."

Liu Xiaonan turned around and left, but was grabbed by Gu Yu.Gu Yu said: "The older you get, the more stubborn you become. Why are you still talking about it? Well, let me ask you, what did you do to Song Ge?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "Please pay attention to the words and tone of your words. What do you want me to do to that child? It seems that I have committed a heinous crime."

"Song Ge told me that she didn't want to fall in love or get married in her whole life."

"I told her that I don't believe in love. All love is purposeful. She may have misunderstood me and went astray. You don't have to worry. They are born in the [-]s with strong psychological qualities and will Self-correct soon."

"That kid has really gone astray, I can see that. Thank you for giving her a head start and bringing her to her senses."

Liu Xiaonan said, "Let her wake up slowly."

After Meng Xiangxiang came back from the meeting, she still took the children to and from school.

The date of the college entrance examination is approaching day by day. On the last day before the college entrance examination, the school is on holiday, allowing candidates to move freely.Liu Xiaonan and Meng Xiangxiang took their two children to live in the Longwangtang Farm. When the tide was low in the morning, they took their two children to catch the sea, so that the children could relax completely.

Qiyu often learns military boxing from his two uncles, Shashi and Shashan. He also often plays basketball at school. He does not lack exercise and is already very strong.Digging up razor clams and sausages, one spade at a time, is no less inferior to Liu Xiaonan.Meng Xiangxiang and Qimeng were picking conch shells on the beach and digging clams with a small shovel.

Come back from the sea and make dumplings for everyone.Liu Xiaonan and Qiyu rolled the dough, Meng Xiangxiang and Qimeng made dumplings, the two children already knew how to do some housework.

After having lunch and taking a nap, the family of four went fishing on the small island again and had fun.Before evening, the family of four returned home.After playing for a day, the two children were tired and happy, and went to bed early.Liu Xiaonan and Meng Xiangxiang rechecked the documents and equipment needed for the child's college entrance examination.

Liu Xiaonan was very tired, but didn't feel sleepy at all. She felt a little anxious, as if she had to go to the examination room tomorrow.He found a book and read it while lying on the bed, his eyes on the pages, but his mind was not on the words.

Meng Xiangxiang saw it, and she comforted Liu Xiaonan: "You have to trust the children, the results of the mock exam are there, why should you worry."

Liu Xiaonan said: "It is precisely because of the outstanding results in the mock exam that I am worried. If the usual results are mediocre, I don't care."

Meng Xiangxiang said: "I have never been afraid of exams, because I have confidence, and I believe that children will feel the same as me."

"Only people with strength dare to say such things. I am a failure in the examination room, and I have a shadow in my heart."

"Go to sleep, get your energy back, and do the logistics for the kids. That's all we can do, it's all up to them."

On the first day of the college entrance examination, Liu Xiaonan cleared the way with an empty car, and Meng Xiangxiang drove the two children to follow.After waking up in the morning, both children said that they slept soundly and soundly, and their expressions were very relaxed, so they were relieved.

After arriving at the test site, Meng Xiangxiang went home to prepare lunch, while Liu Xiaonan stayed behind to pick up the two children after the test was over.The reason why he took the initiative to ask to stay was because he was a failure in the examination room, and he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the college entrance examination again.

It's really not the same.The outside of the examination room was heavily guarded, full of vehicles, and crowded with eagerly looking forward to it, parents dressed in festive costumes.When did the college entrance examination have such momentum and pomp?

At this time, Gu Yu called and asked where he was.It turned out that the two children were in the same test center, and they met in a teahouse to drink tea and wait.When Liu Xiaonan found Gu Yu, Gu Yu had already found a seat.Song Ge is also here, here to do live reports, and also to take a break.

It's also been a few years since I saw Song Ge himself. Song Ge has been transferred to a TV station as a reporter, but I often see him on TV.After Liu Xiaonan was seated, Song Ge asked, "What have you been up to, senior?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "Recently, I have been busy preparing for the college entrance examination. The child is not nervous, but I am tense. Because I failed the exam twice, I have a fear of the college entrance examination. I can't show it in front of my children, and I feel even more nervous. Anxious."

Gu Yu said: "It's true, I haven't slept well these days, and my hair is falling out in a lot."

Song Ge said: "You parents, why bother to put so much pressure on yourself and your children?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "It's better when we were back then. I took my luggage to take the college entrance examination and lived in a classroom of an elementary school in the county. Two desks put together made our bed; it was the first time our parents were willing to give us money. , let us spend freely, it is also the first time we can sit in a restaurant to eat; after the exam, stand by the stereo outside the mall, let go of the courage to listen to Teresa Teng's song, and go to the train station to watch the train. Wait until the college entrance examination When the report card came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and either repeated the exam, or went home and hoeed and drilled a few ditches, and lived the same life as their ancestors.”

Gu Yu smiled and said to Song Ge: "Listen, this is his glorious history."

Song Ge also said with a smile: "If children today hear this, they will definitely find it very romantic, fresh and interesting."

Liu Xiaonan said: "It is indeed very romantic, fresh and interesting. I once told your senior sister, what the children have now, we have never had, and what we have, the children now have never had."

Gu Yu said: "At that time, what could we show off to the children of today?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "We have a blue sky, a clear river, and an environment where we can grow freely. Gu Yu, do you remember when I led you to fish for dragonflies when you were young? Not only are the old turtles extinct now, even the green and blue giant The dragonflies are gone."

Gu Yu said to Song Ge: "You don't know, during the years I was in the countryside, he always led me to play. Besides fishing old turtles and crabs to learn how to swim, he also used female dragonflies to catch male dragonflies. At that time, he could tell the difference. The male and female of dragonflies."

Song Ge said with a smile: "It turns out that seniors have learned to observe life and experience life since they were young. What else can seniors do?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "At that time, we still had pets with us. Today's children may not even hear of them, let alone see them."

Gu Yu said first: "I know what you want to say, don't you just want to say that we all have lice? Don't tell me, I still remember what lice look like. I also had lice and lice in my hair, It's white, and it has to be scraped down with something called a grate."

Liu Xiaonan said: "We born in the [-]s have contributed a lot of blood to the diversity of animals in the world."

Gu Yu said with emotion: "Our living conditions at that time were really difficult."

Song Ge didn't interrupt anymore.One type of dragonfly and one type of parasite can cause so many topics, and the discussions are full of interest, which shows how speculative and sympathetic the two are.

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.She finally understood why the senior was indifferent to her.She observed the peaceful expressions on the faces of the two people, listened to the deep meaning in the words of the two people, and thought, maybe this is what people often call a confidant!

Two hours passed quickly, and the three of them got up and left their seats to go outside the examination room.Song Ge was busy with interviewing and reporting, while Liu Xiaonan and Gu Yu were waiting outside the examination room.

Liu Xiaonan looked at Song Ge's leaving back and said, "It looks like it's not as serious as you said."

Gu Yu said, "Maybe she came out."

When the candidates walked out of the examination room one after another, the parents stretched their necks to look for their children.

Some of the candidates were calm, some were elated; some were expressionless, and some were crying bitterly.It can be seen that the pressure is great, and it is not easy for candidates and parents to face the big exam.

Qiyu Qimeng and Fang Shujun met on the playground and walked out of the examination room together.Liu Xiaonan and Gu Yu saw it, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to meet the entrance of the examination room.

Qi Yu is ordinary, without any expression, just like commuting to and from school on weekdays; Qi Meng is a little excited, talking enthusiastically with Fang Shujun, who is equally excited, Chinese is her strong point in the first subject of the college entrance examination, and it is not difficult to see that she has done well in the exam. ideal.

Liu Xiaonan felt relieved, and didn't want to say anything at first, so she took the child home to eat and rest.But Gu Yu spoke, stroked Qi Meng's hair and said, "Qi Meng must have done well in the exam."

Qimeng smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, the test paper is easier than I thought."

Gu Yu said, "Well done, Auntie wishes you good grades in the exam."

Liu Xiaonan didn't want Gu Yu and Qi Meng to continue talking, he said, "Leave those who have passed the exam aside, go home and have a good rest. Goodbye, Shujun."

Fang Shujun said: "Mom, stop nagging, I also did well in the exam. Goodbye, uncle."

Qiyu Qimeng said goodbye to Gu Yu, hugged his father's arm one by one, and walked towards the parking lot.
