"Jiao Long, are you really leaving tomorrow morning?"

I nodded, wiped my sweat and looked at Aunt Zhu: "Well, I will go back early tomorrow morning with my third sister. Unfortunately, three years have not come yet. If we don't come back during the New Year's Day,

, please go to Uncle Chou’s grave and help take care of it.”

"That's easy to say, but why are you leaving just like you said?"

Aunt Zhu looked at the food and eggs I sent with a sad face and said, "Yesterday we were talking about a blind date. This is too urgent. Is it about building a school? Otherwise, let's ask the villagers to donate.

Is it for your children to go to school? You can’t be allowed to work hard alone!”

I twitched my lips slightly: "Aunt Zhu, this is not a small amount of money. How much money can the villagers save throughout the year? Their lives are very tight, so how can we donate..."

As I said that, I took out an envelope and stuffed it into her hand: "Aunt Zhu, thank you for taking care of Jiaolong and Sanmeier these past two years. I have to leave. I know you are worried about your son. This

It's my suggestion, please accept it and don't let your little son go out to work. If you really want to work, just wait until next year."

"This is money, Jiaolong, I can't accept this much money..."

"keep it!"

I was resolute: "I'll be angry if you don't accept it. Madam, love cannot be compared with money, but Jiaolong doesn't have time to prepare anything for you anymore. If you need anything, just buy it yourself. I miss you."

Now, just go and call me, my phone will be fine when you go to town, ah."

Aunt Zhu cried, holding the envelope I gave her, looking at me wiping away tears: "Why can't you stay in our village? Jiaolong, I miss you so much, just stay here, don't leave."

Now, let’s get a wife here.”

I stretched out my hand to wipe her tears, "Mom, I will come back to see you often. Don't cry."

"I can't let you go, Jiaolong. I really can't let you go. Don't leave. Don't leave."

I held her in my arms and comforted her for a long time, which made my eyes red with consolation. Until Aunt Zhu's mood became more stable, I took San Meier's hand and went to see Xiaoshanzi again. When I heard that I was leaving, the child

He stopped, didn't talk to me, and ran out the door. Sanmei'er hurriedly chased him, but I suppressed my emotions and stuffed the money I prepared into his grandfather's hand. The old man still didn't want it. Look.

He looked at me with cloudy eyes: "My child, you have helped my family a lot, don't give me any more money..."

"Uncle, you must accept this..."

I put the envelope on the table: "This is what I left for Shanzi to buy books. He is desperate to delay it for another year. I promise that when I go back, this school will be established in the village next year. Shanzi is a smart child, and he will

For those who are promising, if they go to high school or college in the future, I will take care of all the expenses. Uncle, please take care of your health and enjoy the blessings with Shanzi in the future."

Xiao Shanzi's grandfather looked at me and wiped away tears: "Shanzi is lucky if he can know you... Otherwise, my baby won't even be able to study..."

"Stop crying, uncle, this is my phone number. If Shanzi misses me, ask him to go to the store and call me."

Xiao Shanzi's grandfather nodded: "This kid, you wanted to leave and he ran away... I really don't know how to thank you."

"Thank you, we are a family, sir. In fact, when I look at you, I miss my grandpa. I also want to go back and see my grandpa."

Xiao Shanzi didn't come back until we walked out of Xiao Shanzi's house. Sanmei'er panted heavily and ran to me: "The child must have gone up the mountain. He ran too fast and I couldn't catch up."

I nodded, "...let's go back."

At night.

I sat on the kang and watched San Meier packing her bag. When I came, I brought very few things. When I left, it was even simpler. In one bag, in addition to the necessary documents, there were also things I wanted to use, and other things.

There's actually nothing to pretend.

The few clothes I brought have been worn out in the past two years, and there is no need to bring them back again. After picking them up, San Meier raised her eyes and looked at me: "Jiaolong, if you don't bring the mountain goods that Aunt Zhu brought,

Then a small bag is enough."

"Leave a small portion of the mountain goods, that's Aunt Zhu's wish..."

I responded softly, heard a noise from the door, stood up and walked outside the door. With the dim lights in the yard, I could clearly see the thin figure standing in the center of the yard, and opened my mouth: "Xiao Shanzi...

…”

He stood there without moving, with his head half bowed, as if he was still getting angry with me.

I smiled softly, walked to him and squatted down, only to find that he was dirty: "Shanzi, where did you go this afternoon? Auntie will leave tomorrow morning. You have to take good care of you."

Grandpa, you should do well when you go to school in the future..."

"Aunt."

He called me with a pout, raised his face, and looked at me with tears in his eyes: "I want to pick pears for you to eat, but they are not ripe..."

My heart felt sour at that time, and I looked at him holding on to a smile: "It won't be ripe this season. When Auntie comes back in autumn, you can pick pears for Auntie to eat again, ah."

Tears fell from his eyes, and he looked at me with a grin, "But I want to let you eat it now. You won't leave after eating. My sheep have grown up, and I sold them to you to make money to build a school."

Don't go out to get money. Auntie, please don't go. I don't want these new clothes, and I don't drink soda anymore. I just want to go up to the mountains to herd sheep with you..."

"Nothing to show for it."

I looked at him with tears in my eyes: "You are going to school. Are you like aunt who can't do anything? If you don't do well, then aunt will never be friends with you in the future. You are a man, you know?"

!”

Xiao Shanzi is just a child, and his body twitched when I told him to cry, "I know, but I don't want you to leave..."

I took his hand and said, "Shanzi, okay, Auntie will definitely come back to see you. Auntie promises that in the autumn of next year, or the autumn of the year after, Auntie will definitely go up the mountain to pick pears with you. If you want

If you are aunty, call auntie, ah."

San Meier heard Xiao Shanzi crying and came out to comfort her. The end result was that she hugged Shanzi and cried together. After staying in the village for more than two years, how could she not have feelings, but I really hate this kind of separation emotion.

.

After coaxing Xiao Shanzi to send him home, I asked San Meier to go back and rest first. I went up the mountain alone. When I was leaving, I naturally had to say goodbye to an important friend, Xiao Gazi.

Shouting, shouting, all the sleeping birds in the mountains were flapping their wings due to my shouting, but the little geezer never appeared. I thought it must have appeared, but in a place I didn't see, it should,

Maybe I don’t like this distinction.

I shouted to the little gazi hiding in the dark in the mountains that I would definitely come back to see him. Although there is no specific time, I will definitely come back! My little gazi, you will definitely grow like a giant by then.

You are generally taller. Believe me, I will not let you down. I will cherish and use your aura.

I walked down the mountain in the mist when the sky was dark. Sanmei'er hadn't slept all night. My eyelids were still red when I saw her coming in. I washed my face and felt that it was almost time. I looked at her and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's

Let’s go…”

The third sister took her bag and nodded, and we locked the door. When we reached the door, the third sister stopped and looked back. I held her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll come back and see you later."

watch."

I pushed the door open with a creak, but when I raised my eyes, I was completely stunned. I don’t know when villagers were standing outside the door. They were all holding baskets containing eggs and mountain products and looked at me. They stood at the front.

Aunt Zhu was holding a bowl, looked at me and opened her mouth: "Jiaolong, everyone knows you are leaving, so they have to give it to you. This is practice wine. Drink it and make your journey smooth."

!”

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

I was a little excited, so I took the bowl from Aunt Zhu's hand and drank the small half bowl of white wine directly.

"Mr. Ma, these are the eggs I boiled for you. You can keep them for the road!"

"Mr. Ma, these are my newly steamed buns. You can eat them in the car..."

"Mr. Ma, I brought this for you..."

"thanks, thanks……"

I kept pouring my thanks, and things kept being handed to me until I couldn't take them anymore, and then I bowed to everyone: "Thank you everyone, there are too many things, Jiaolong can't take them away, I'm so kind."

Dragon leader, thank you all for taking care of me in the past two years."

"We want to thank you, Mr. Ma, we will give it to you!"

"Yes, take my carriage!"

"No need to bother. Thank you all for taking care of me and San Meier. Let's go back. Let's all go back. Jiaolong and San Meier will come back to see us in the future!"

The villagers cheered and crowded to see me off on the road out of the village. Until I climbed up the slope, they still insisted on letting me take everything away in a carriage. I stood on the slope and waved with a smile:

"Xinyi Jiaolong really got it! Go back! We will definitely come back to see the big guy!!"

Aunt Zhu’s tears dropped and she started crying again when she looked at me: “Jiaolong, you must come back to see Auntie!”

I nodded in response, took a deep breath, glanced at the village, turned around, and heard someone calling me from behind: "Auntie!! Auntie!! Third sister!!"

Looking back, I saw Xiao Shanzi wearing the new clothes that San Meier and I bought for him in the town, running over from a distance and standing behind the villagers: "You must come back to see me! You must come back to see me.

ah!!"

"I'll come back to see you!!"

I responded loudly, waved my hands after Sanmei'er, looked at the people standing at the bottom of the slope, took a long breath, and secretly made up my mind that when I came back, I would not only see the school, but also make this road smooth.

!!

The third sister was so moved by the villagers that they shed tears all the way. She said that this was the most touching thing she had ever seen in her whole life. I didn't answer because I knew that anywhere, as long as you give,

If you are sincere, you will definitely get sincerity from most people.

After walking into the town, Sanmei'er and I went to buy the shabby bus ticket again. As the green train took me to the long-distance train, the scene in front of me gradually became more lively and prosperous, and I felt like I had just woken up.
