The call ended. The sound of her light footsteps as she walked past the door came from the corridor.
The door of the room next door opened immediately. He heard the chattering of a few women.
His unhappiness disappeared.
Finally, a call came.
Actually, based on his rational deduction and feeling, this call would come sooner or later.
It was neither accidental nor strange; it had come so naturally, so beautifully, so moving, and with a loud crash, it had burst open the gates of his soul.
The train station square was filled with the sound of cars and people.
In the Ivaco sedan that Xue Jianhua was in, the tourists and the driver had already quarreled twice.
It was already time, but the car was not moving.
The reason why they didn't start the train was that Concubine Ci hadn't arrived yet.
During breakfast,"Ci Fei" told him, After dinner, I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to do some things. After I was done, I got on the train at nine o'clock sharp.
However, it was already 9:20 pm, and there was still no sign of him.
At first, the driver questioned Xue Jianhua,"What's wrong with your companion?"
Xue Jianhua was too lazy to go with her, so he went with the flow. Then there was no need to wait.
The other tourists were moved by Xue Jianhua's sacrifice. They gave him a thumbs up and said," Okay." However, the driver did not appreciate it. He insisted on waiting.
This gentleman already said that there was no need to wait. What are you still waiting for? The tourists and the driver started a new round of debate.
It was useless to argue. Xue Jianhua knew in his heart that if they lacked a person, the travel company would lose a few hundred yuan! Now that they were doing contracting, the few hundred yuan for the "Ci Fei" might just be the driver's salary.
He fell asleep in a daze amidst the shouts of the crowd. She slept too late last night.
It was unknown when the car left the city. When Xue Jianhua opened his eyes, the apple orchard in Luochuan, northern Shaanxi, appeared in front of him.
He stretched and glanced at the seat beside him. At first glance, a young woman from the countryside was sitting on the seat. She was dressed in a clean and simple outfit. Between the young woman and Xue Jianhua, there was a little girl with pigtails who looked about four or five years old.
"Ci Fei" didn't get into the car. He concluded.
He yawned happily.
He took out two oranges from his bag and wanted to give them to the little girl. However, before he could reach out, the little girl shouted at him," Daddy, you're awake!
Father? Xue Jianhua was stunned,"What is this child shouting about?"
The little girl then patted the village woman beside her. Mommy, Daddy is awake.
The young woman looked at Xue Jianhua and giggled.
You, you are? The dizzy Xue Jianhua was about to explode when his eyes suddenly widened. Isn't this Concubine Ci?
You, how did you…He saw that "Ci Fei" had completely changed from top to bottom.
Her feather-duster-like golden hair was pressed into two neat black braids. The heavy eyeshadow was washed off, the artificial eyelashes were gone, and the thick lipstick was replaced with a natural flesh color. The sheepskin jacket and short skirt she was wearing were replaced by a delicate checkered coat. Other than that sinister expression that still had her shadow, if you looked at the other places, she was simply a rural woman.
Did I scare you?
Not really. Xue Jianhua looked at the child beside him and forced a calm expression. What are you doing?
You like it!
You really know how to change.
Have you forgotten that I used to be a fashion model?
What was wrong with this child?
I rented it from the orphanage. If you call us mom and dad for a day, 200 yuan is not expensive, right?
You really know how to talk nonsense.
Bringing a child along could add fun to the family trip. Moreover, with this child, we can officially sleep on the same bed at night!
You, you can't mess around! Xue Jianhua widened his eyes and thought," How could this woman be so shameless?
Vice President Xue, it's rare to be alone with you. "Ci Fei" said,"I know you don't have a good impression of me." However, I want to tell you that I don't want to do those boring things with you this time. I want to talk to you about something big.
Something big?
"Concubine Ci" picked up the little girl from her seat and kissed her. She took the opportunity to lean against Xue Jianhua and said, However, don't worry. I won't put any pressure on you. I only ask that you obediently listen to my arrangements; I want you to get what you deserve in comfort.
This Pagoda Mountain was also known as "Jialing Mountain". The tour guide said that it was located southeast of Yan 'an City. The pagoda in front of us was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is 44 meters high and has nine floors. Climbing to the top of the pagoda, you can have a panoramic view of the city.
Xue Jianhua left the tourists and carefully observed the scenery on the mountain.
He never listened to the tour guide's explanation whenever he visited places of interest. He thought that the routine narration would reduce the fun of the trip. This was because anyone who had some cultural knowledge would have a general understanding of the formation and cultural value of these historical sites. The most important thing was to experience and feel it personally. If he really didn't know enough about these historical sites, he might as well go back and read through the information.
The setting sun shone over, and the lush forest of Pagoda Mountain Park looked particularly beautiful. Xue Jianhua walked to the iron railings around the mountain peak and began to look for Yan He. Unfortunately, he lost his way at this time. Looking at the rivers and bridges that passed through the city at the foot of the mountain, he did not know which river was the Yan River and which bridge was the Yan River Bridge.
The towering Pagoda Mountain and the rolling waters of the Yanhe River were the holy lands that Xue Jianhua and his generation were all too familiar with and worshipped. This scenery was not only beautiful, but more importantly, it made people want to go and admire it. It was at the foot of the Pagoda Mountain and beside the Yan River that a group of outstanding children of the Chinese nation gathered. In a difficult environment, they called on the people to resist foreign aggression and used their new ideas and beliefs to bring an ancient and great country into a new era.
Yan 'an was the cradle of revolution and the birthplace of the new dynasty!
However, what puzzled Xue Jianhua was that in the sacred picture in the past, why did it only show a distant view and not a realistic close-up photo?
Today, he seemed to have guessed the reason. Although this mysterious ancient tower was connected to the origin of the great revolution, it was still a tower. Is its function itself and the beliefs it preaches somewhat incompatible with our revolution? There was no need to elaborate on the contents of the stone carvings and ink strokes under the pagoda. Wasn't the eyebrow inscription on the entrance of the pagoda that said " overlooking the world of mortals " precisely warning people to jump out of the entanglement of fame and fortune in the human world and enter the Buddhist paradise with a detached heart?
Yes, the Pagoda Mountain was famous because it occupied the holy land of the revolution. However, the outstanding sons and daughters of our nation cannot put down their long tassel spears and put away their horses just because of the spirit they preach. At the moment of national crisis, whoever entered the empty door would be escaping. In order to restrain the Old Dragon, they could only fight on the battlefield!
The spirit of Buddhism had only left two words in their hearts, and that was to forget everything!
It was not just "forgetting myself"? Many people with lofty ideals had abandoned their families for the sake of the nation and the revolution.
Daddy, daddy…he's on the tower!
The little girl's shout broke his thoughts. At this moment, he saw that the tour guide had finished his explanation. The tourists dispersed and began their free activities.
People gathered at the entrance of the tower, wanting to climb up. When the tour guide reminded them that the fee was eight yuan, the enthusiastic people hesitated again. Only " Concubine Ci " bought three entrance tickets with her child.
Money, poverty, stinginess…A few unpleasant words appeared in Xue Jianhua's mind. This afternoon, after the car arrived at the destination, the tour guide began to arrange accommodation. "Ci Fei" used the price of a three-star hotel to rent a cave dwelling. When she handed the 200 yuan tip to the owner of the cave, the owner was shocked by the money and called on the whole family to do an emergency renovation for the cave, saying that they wanted the guests to experience the feeling of being a revolutionary leader.
The stairs to the tower were narrow, and the atmosphere inside was quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the noisy world outside. The three of them panted as they reached the top of the tower, sweating profusely.
After arriving at the fairyland, Concubine Ci naturally did not forget her good habits and wrote on the wall.
Today, she wrote," Vice President Xue from the Northeast brought his wife and daughter here."
Alright? After she finished writing, she saw Xue Jianhua carrying the little girl and asked, feeling touched.
Alright. It was just a little nondescript.
Hmm, was life supposed to be nondescript? "Concubine Ci" threw away the small stone she had used to write the inscription and pulled Xue Jianhua to the small window. Come, let us look down on the mortal world together!……Look, that's the cave we're going to stay in tonight.
Was that so? The little girl broke free from Xue Jianhua's arms." Let me see!
Sigh, what a cute child! When Xue Jianhua saw this scene, his heart ached. This child was born at the wrong time and met a pair of sinful parents... Was it a rural couple who had to abandon their biological child in order to avoid the punishment of having another child? Or was it a couple who only wanted to have fun and was afraid that their relationship would be exposed, so they shirked their responsibility? No matter what, what did this have to do with the child?
She called out " Daddy and Mommy ", but did she know what " Daddy and Mommy " meant? After calling her parents for a day, her temporary "parents" had disappeared. How traumatized would this be?!
What are you thinking about? " Ci Fei " saw the tears in his eyes and picked up the child.
Go back and tell the orphanage that they are not allowed to "rent" children like this anymore!
Hmm?
Let's leave her a sum of money so that she can go to a good school when she goes to school. She told the people at the orphanage that she had parents, but they were working far away. As long as no one comes to claim her, we'll be responsible for her until she's eighteen.
Yes.
"Concubine Ci" nodded seriously.
