Chapter 12: Monologue at Hometown (I)

  After breaking up, don't hold grudges because we once loved each other; after parting ways, don't forget because we once put each other in our hearts. Is this not describing lovers? What does it have to do with me?

  But Lin Xing's best friend, where are they now? How are they doing? Thinking about it, she didn't have any regret for her own sudden departure.

  At this time they should have hated themselves to death, especially Sumi. We had agreed that after graduation we would travel everywhere and live a carefree life, but what was the reality?

  That's the fact, leaving without enough courage and financial resources is like other people's children who can leave at any time. Besides, as a child from a farming family, being able to attend such a high school is already a great fortune, and we should thank Grandpa Deng for the good times now.

  The day I signed up for school, everyone in the village was at the crossroads to see me off. Some even gave Lin Xing travel expenses and said that I was really glorious.

  Thinking back to now, although it was a smooth graduation, but as I thought, the good times didn't last long. As soon as high school ended, the good days were almost over. What I still can't understand is Xiao Feng. This is the busy farming season and also the rainy season, how did he end up coming to this godforsaken place with his uncle to work? Spit...

  Others can work in the city, why can't I? It's not like I'm working in a rural area. What's wrong with working here?

  Lin Xing's family is basically a poor three generations, the school pays for half of the tuition fees for three years, and the rest has to be paid out of pocket, otherwise it won't be enough. Fortunately, getting into such a good high school is still my own good fortune, and it also brings glory to my family.

  Abandoning the materialistic world, she returned to her solid rural hometown, looking at the thick and large crops made her feel more at ease. This period of time was when she felt most comfortable and carefree.

  Waiting is also a kind of happiness, the college admission letter, what's that thing, as long as it's in one's own home, even if it's feeding pigs and ducks every day, it's still a peaceful sleep.

  Her mood is like this, looking at the green wheat field, wearing a red tassel of broomcorn, when a gentle breeze blows by, it feels especially refreshing.

  The air in the old home is still fresh and clean, I thought the city's air was especially dull when I was a kid, and even a clever little fox would bring new fresh air from the forest to sell in the city.

  It's so good, it's free, come to the countryside, friendship gift, haha...

  I hope time will stay in such a comfortable day, not buried in spring, but wandering in the gentle breeze, swaying back and forth, again and again. At home, there is also a mighty river rushing by.

  That's it, it's a branch of the Dadu River. The Dadu River, you know, is that turbulent and majestic river where the Red Army flew to capture the Luding Bridge back in the day. The Dadu River is the big brother, and this one here is just a younger sibling. I heard that if you throw a wishing bottle into the big river, it can reach your place, do you believe it?

  Anyway, Lin Xing is convinced now.

  Do you all know what I'm talking about? Su Mei, Wang Xuan, Wen Xiaohui, Wen Hui, Tao Xinran, I miss you guys so much. What's the point of saying these things? It's not like we're speaking in front of the spirits of heaven.

  Alright, I'm just standing by the river talking to myself, believing that you all still miss me, because, though we are a thousand miles apart, our feelings are connected in one line.

  Just now I forgot to tell them that by the river here, there is a small patch of sandy beach where I can play barefoot. It's not like a resort beach, but our own unique one. At this moment, I'm playing with the waves and thinking about those happy things and unforgettable people.

  This small beach is my favorite place to play in the summer, and when the sun is big, I will also bring my English words here to recite. At that time, I feel why Wen Tianxiang was willing to die at sea, because he saw the vast chest of the sea and felt his own insignificance, so he was willing to sacrifice.
