That night, Xia Yufeng and Grandma talked a lot, and Grandma Xia was the one who talked most of the time. Grandma Xia loved and doted on her eldest grandson from the bottom of her heart. She had been sensible and filial since she was young. But now that she had encountered such a situation, she was filled with hatred for Xia Mingqi. Of course, she could only express her hatred verbally. There was nothing she could do.
The two of them chatted until midnight before they left.
"Lingling, this is 500 yuan. Give it to Grandma for me. This is a small token of my filial piety. I know Grandma won't want it. You can give it to her after I leave.”
"Brother, you know that Grandma won't accept it. If you ask me to give it to her, she'll definitely scold me. Brother, Daddy and Uncle have money. You should keep it for yourself.”
"Be obedient and give it to Grandma. You said that I forced you. " I have money, don't worry." Xia Yufeng thought about it for a few days. He still gave some money to his grandmother. He was also a person who had worked before. Although the money was not much, he still did his filial piety.
Back in his room, Xia Yufeng began to pack up the things he wanted to take away. Actually, there weren't many things, just a few clothes and two pairs of shoes. She put everything into the box and sat on the bed.
Looking at the red box, Xia Yufeng's heart fell silent again. He wanted to put it in the box a few times, but in the end, he resisted. It was better to leave it here. Memories belonged here. Memories belonged to him at that time, not him who was about to drift. He could only forget about the past. If he could not forget, then he would numb the pain.
It was dawn. He didn't know when he fell asleep last night. Xia Yufeng only knew that his eyes were hurting.
After washing up, she went to the bedroom. Grandma was in a deep sleep, and her eyes were deeply sunken with tears that had not dried yet. Xia Yufeng gently covered her with the blanket and walked out of the room. He did not wake her up.
Xia Yufeng said goodbye to his aunt, aunt, and sister one by one. He put the box in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat.
The car started to move. Until this moment, Xia Yufeng's father, Xia Mingqi, had not come. He had not even called. Xia Yufeng secretly remembered it in his heart. He swore that he would make him regret it one day.
Along the way, Xia Yufeng didn't say anything. He leaned back in his seat and looked out the window. He liked to watch the scenery outside the window recede one by one when he was in the car. Whenever this happened, he would wonder if it was a kind of helpless sinking or being abandoned by the world.
The green fields outside the window gradually turned into concrete buildings. He knew that he was almost at the station. When he got out of the car, a few rays of morning light reflected on his face, comforting his meekness.
Xia Yufeng carried his luggage into the station. Xia Qiming asked him to wait in the waiting hall and then help him buy a ticket.
Xia Yufeng carried his luggage into the waiting hall and found a seat. After a while, Xia Qiming handed him a train ticket for the 8:40 p. m. train from Changsha to Beijing.
" Ah Feng, it's only eight o'clock now. Sit here. I'll go out and buy you something to eat on the way." Xia Qiming patted Xia Yufeng's shoulder and left without waiting for him to respond.
About ten minutes later, Xia Qiming walked toward him from the entrance with a bag of things.
"You can eat these in the car. There was bread, water, and some snacks.”Xia Qiming said as he tied the knot and placed it on the stool beside Xia Yufeng.
" The train from Kunming to Beijing West is about to arrive. Please check your tickets at Gate No. 1 and board the train..." The broadcast repeated.
"Thank you, Uncle. I should get in the car. I'll take care of myself. You guys have to take care of yourself at home.”Xia Yufeng said as he picked up his luggage and the things his uncle bought.
"Yes, don't worry, Grandma. We'll take good care of her. But you have to be more careful. The outside world is not like home. Remember my words. Did you know? "Then get in the car. Remember to give me a call when you arrive." After saying that, she patted Xia Yufeng's shoulder.
Xia Yufeng got into the car and found his seat. It was a side seat. Then, she put her things away and sat quietly waiting for the car to leave. At this moment, Xia Yufeng opened the bag and wanted to drink some water. Suddenly, he found an envelope inside. opened it
Feng:
When you're outside, remember to think more about everything and use your brain more.
Ling Ling said that you want her to help you give Grandma 500 yuan. Why are you so stupid? You don't even have money to live on, so why are you giving money to Grandma? In the future, when you have money, no matter how much you give, Grandma will still want it, understand? It's enough that you have this kind of heart. Here's 2,000 yuan. Just take it that I lent it to you. Be careful outside. Remember, no matter what, you can't do anything illegal or endanger the country, understand?
Uncle Riri
Holding the letter, Xia Yufeng's tears flowed down again, cold and hot at the same time.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, it was pitch black outside the window. She moved her body, but her neck was sore and painful.
Xia Yufeng stood up and walked to the bathroom. Standing in the aisle, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He had forgotten when he started to get used to letting his thoughts fly while he was smoking, rolling, rising, and drifting with the rolling fog…
Recalling these few short months, Xia Yufeng felt as if a few years had passed. From not understanding the fickleness of the world and the ways of the world to now, he had to admit that he had changed. His heart had become mature and turbid. He had always believed that this was the necessary transformation and price to pay for growth, but he did not know that the desolation of his life was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly hitting his fragile and pure heart, shattering the peace that had lasted for twenty years...
At night, the wind blew. Xia Yufeng leaned his head against the windowsill, wanting to feel its indifference, wanting to spy on its restless and lonely soul. The wind whistled through the crack in the window. Outside the window, the searchlights in the tunnel shone faintly. The blurry image of him running back quickly was like a player, broadcasting the bitterness of the past 20 years through the dark cave.
He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the chair. The wind that leaked out of the window kept circling around him. Tonight, having you accompany me is enough. Xia Yufeng thought.
" Dear passengers, the terminal station, Beijing West Station, is about to arrive. Please take your luggage and get ready to alight. I wish you a pleasant journey..." The voice of the announcer came from the ear in a daze. Xia Yufeng rubbed his eyes. He realized that it was already bright outside the window. There were tall buildings, unfamiliar scenery, and unfamiliar smells. 'This is where I'm going to live,' Xia Yufeng thought silently in his heart. Then, she took all her luggage and was ready to get out of the car at any time.
"Sir, where are you going?”A " taxi driver " in a white shirt greeted Xia Yufeng enthusiastically.
" Thank you, but it's okay. I have a friend who's driving to pick me up." After Xia Yufeng finished speaking, this " brother " was very straightforward. He turned around and ignored him, looking for the next passenger.
He carried the suitcase and walked out of the station, walking on the bustling streets. Under the sun, beside the green trees, and in the crowd, Xia Yufeng was happy and at ease. There were many people around him who were dragging their luggage and looking around. He didn't feel special, so he didn't feel embarrassed. So what if I'm from the countryside? There's nothing wrong with being curious.
After shuttling through countless streets, her stomach began to growl and her legs slowly swelled up. She leaned against the side of the road, put down the things in her hands, and tidied her hair, which was messed up by the wind. Then, he looked at the scene in front of him. There were green brick buildings around him. They were not tall, but they were very closed. The spaces between the houses were very small. Perhaps this was the legendary Beijing alley.
